Hans Boehm's GC is actually really, really good. Before you embark on a massive engineering effort that will likely lead to little gain and a lot of pain, I would measure the overheads very carefully. I am not at all convinced precise GCs buy you that much over the Boehm GC for most apps, and they fundamentally kill interop with C code.

> It seems like "stop mass-scale surveillance" is a separate goal from "stop individual-scale surveillance". I feel like you set up a strawman, rather than actually addressing what skrebbel originally said.

My point was that security is often black-and-white because a crack can turn out to be a crater, and often is.

With regards to state-sponsored, dragnet surveillance: those are the most skilled attackers, and they've exploited far more subtle issues than the one being discussed here; they're the ones that you need to be worried about for undisclosed vulnerabilities, letalone terribly obvious flaws like this one.

Exactly. I recently discovered that my iPhone on battery-saving mode is awesome, and now I put it on that mode even when its 100%, so it holds longer. Everything works fine. I havent found anything wrong. Apple should mak that mode the default mode. Battery-saving mode should be default on all things.

There are of course things like screen brightness or gaming performance that dont mix well with the above, but thats fine. Leave the brightness alone, and resume the battery-saving mode after the game is closed.

So basically, default mode should be battery-saving mode. Performance mode should be used automatically when a fame or something is running. And make a new battery-saving mode which is the default mode plus the low brightness, no games, no wifi, no whatever mode.

Am I missing something?

It seems like there was probably a degree of duress and that this was a continuation of a series of "interrogations" where perhaps a greater deal of duress was necessary? Not that the German scientists were necessarily unwilling but that they were anyway required to attend:

>"As the behaviour towards German scientists had already improved considerably in 1947,the interrogation had the more elegant form of a small colloquium. A handful of German specialists from Göttingen had been invited among them also myself. The significant German people who there gave talks were Professor Alwin Walther who had been thoroughly concerned with Hollerith machines and differential analyzers at the Darmstadt Institute of Technology, and Konrad Zuse with his relay calculators. If in addition Professor Friedrich Willers from Dresden had also participated, all leading German scientists who have been busy during the war in the development of sequence controlled calculating machines would have been there. Though Willers was in the Soviet occupation zone and therefore probably not available for the Britons." (http://www.mathcomp.leeds.ac.uk/turing2012/Images/Turing_Zus...) //

Note that Porter from the NPL later mentions performing an "investigation" as part of a military operation, in his military uniform (despite there being no requirement to do so). Also:

>"Undoubtedly, the participation at the colloquium of Göttingen was not optional. (ibid, p.5)"

tl;dr - It sounds like there's evidence to suggest Turing had an unreported meeting with Zuse in 1948. There is also a suspicion that Turing could have met with Zuse in 1934 on a trip to Gottingen.

> Yeah the future of cars is not owning one.

I think it is more "The future of cars is not _everyone_ owning one." The point is that most cars spend most of their time sat, parked waiting for a single user who is also usually the owner. This is inefficient. I'd rather the car I owned was out earning money while I'm sleeping/working and available just when I need it.

Uber has the right idea, and those that own cars will become part of their network.

Well obviously people are going to have more energy and be happier if you reduce their work hours and keep their pay the same. Didn't need a study to figure that out.

I think if working hours are reduced economy wide as planned in some countries, over the long term the pay will eventually come down. More people might have jobs yes and people may earn a higher hourly rate but not enough to make up for the less hours worked.

It's unclear, since this case is basically making all software illegal in retrospect. Browsers freely implement each others' APIs; SQL servers all use the same API developed by a myriad of entities; the Unix API has been copied over and over and it's impossible to determine ownership. This was a really, really, really bad decision, and it will get worse if Google loses the fair use case.

Americans don't want to give jail time for possession. But they still want to keep those drugs (besides pot) illegal by huge margins: http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/drug-legalization-poll_n_5162.... I haven't seen any polls asking about trafficking specifically, but I think it's fair to take those two data points to mean people want to target traffickers not users. But that is what the vast majority of the drug war is about. 99.8% of federal prisoners incarcerated for drug offenses were incarcerated for trafficking, not simple possession.

Your California stats are misleading. First, you said that drugs are responsible for the "majority" of our prison ills, but your chart shows that 77% of people sentenced for a second or third strike are for property or personal crimes, or gun possession.

Second, California is unusual in that the third strike can be anything (first two must be violent felonies). So people are in for drug possession, but also for other minor things like larceny. In most states, drug possession doesn't trigger the three strikes rule at all.

In any case, three strikes rules weren't created because of the drug war, even in California. It was a response to a guy who murdered a girl. And note that in several states, these rules passed by public referendum with huge margins less than 25 years ago.
Kind of sad to see this go, though I don't recall many Disney-produced games. Fond memories of SNES-Era Goof Troop and Lion King, but that's Capcom/Virgin.

gcc is plenty fast at lower optimization levels. And if you want to get funky about it, http://www.bellard.org/tcc/tccboot.html shows that tcc can compile Linux fast enough for a source-only bootloader. ;-)

(The chief downside of compiling with less than gcc -O2 is that dataflow analysis is not done at lower optimization levels, which means that you'll miss some "unused variable" and/or "dead store" warnings.)

Cars are a terrible industry to get into. Building cars is massively capital and plant intensive, heavily dependent on supply chain logistics, and the market is already extremely competitive. The entire industry is well on its way to switching to electric and/or self-driving.

Selling cars requires a huge dealer network rollout with huge up-front costs for training and spares. Doing it DIY would be insanely expensive, and persuading existing dealers to sign up for a franchise is going to be a tough sell considering Apple's historical treatment of resellers.

Apple under Jobs certainly had the imagination to make a good phone - but the phone industry was always fairly crappy, with very clever internals but mediocre UX.

I don't see much reason to think that Apple under Cook has the imagination to break open the car industry in the same way. The possible competitive differentials are much smaller, and Cook isn't the most creative CEO Apple has had.

If the USP is that Car is electric, looks pretty, and may eventually have some self-driving features - that won't be anywhere close to enough. It's going to need to have some wow to get taken seriously, and even if Jobs were alive and in charge there's limited wow space available.

Of course if it flies and/or teleports, that would be something else.

Coincidentally, I recently had lunch with the department chair of CMU's Philosophy department. Like many people, I assumed philosophy was all about (in his words) "the dead white men". What I was calling philosophy was really the "history of philosophy".

I was very pleasantly surprised to learn that what CMU's philosophy department _actually_ teaches is logic, and philosophy of scientific research and math, and that the majority of professors in the department are jointly appointed at other departments within the university.

I told him I think we just need to ditch the name "philosophy", and he said "you know, my department offers five majors... only one of them is called philosophy."
Thank you for sharing this! That link does a very good job of exploring just what it was about various concepts in SMAC that made it so compelling.
I disagree. While the number of cars may plummet initially, when you share cars between multiple people, the mileage on those cars is going to increase dramatically. Shared cars may end up hitting 300,000 miles in 5 years rather than 15.

Unless self driving cars dramatically increase the lifespan of the average car, things will balance out in a few years.

With that said, PHP has sqlite support built in since 5.0 and sqlite3 since 5.3 so I see no reason to use this over that. Maybe the author can elaborate.

I have to agree, there wasn't anything particularly innovative in terms of gameplay or experience. I actually went out and bought a PS3 just so I could play Last of Us. Mechanically it's not much different than other games in the genre. It was great because it presented a story that made you wish you didn't have to put down the controller, and made you wish it didn't end. That is not to diminish the work in making the game play well, if the mechanics were shit I likely would have not liked the game as much.
Heh! I've published plenty of those - I like to give a shout out when someone does the right thing.
Also curious about performance, SQLite is very mature and VERY fast.

This doesn't give a completely accurate picture of Tesla's financial situation. Tesla has MASSIVE capital expenditures and will continue to have so for years. They could probably become quite profitable on a quarter-to-quarter basis by stopping all new development and manufacturing investments, but this would kill their possibility of becoming a major auto manufacturer.

The gross margin on Model S is indeed 25%, and the gross margin on Model X is also expected to exceed 25% once volume production is finished ramping up.
