It is, and honestly - I find expecting from the other side to be always fully committed to you in a conversation to be a sign of disrespect. I guess some people want to feel more important to others that they really are.

It also depends on the discussion. Whenever someone talks to me about something requiring my personal attention, I pay that attention. But most conversations with people are trivial, and expecting someone to drop everything they were concentrating on and pay full attention to your trivial question is, again, a sign of disrespect.
OP said "integers >= 0". Not much to "think" here.
I understand what the author of this post means, and actually I agree with the sentiment, but I still find the feature useful.

I think the problem lies with the examples, and frankly, it is up to you how you use the feature.

Yes, if I write my SO "I love you", I expect him/her to reply with a honest "I love you too" that was not actually a computer replying. It is a philosophical question obviously, whether you see a response written by somebody or by the algorithm, if he/she actually selected it.

But if I just get a "I'm 5 mins late" from my friend, I don't think a "Don't worry, I'll wait" suggested by the algorithm is that bad and I myself would not mind getting such a "algorithmically suggested" response by my friend. After all, the other party selected the response himself, so I think it is honest.

I'm pretty sure Google had these or similar discussions internally as well.
So you're unconsciously conditioning yourself to select what an AI feeds you to save a second? Yeah, this will come in handy in the future.

This and indoctrination of presence of surveillance is the problem with all those features.

> The author didn't exactly spell it out, but I found the suggestions to be so adequate that they become what i want to say. They become limiting in a sense.

This effect is the only one thing that worries me with those replies. It won't be good if people start to choose only from suggestions instead of choosing them only when they are appropriate. And, as you observed, the effect can be subtle.

But the very idea of a computer typing up the response for you? I don't mind that at all - that's what computers are for, to let you do more with less effort.
No. It would be too warm to take good observations. And the mirror unfolds in sections, and isn't AFAIK equipped to fold back down again for the journey to L2. And repairing in LEO would still be tremendously expensive in any case.

Whenever a US politician makes a statement, I look Why they made that statement - and the why is often that they get paid in campaign contributions to say precisely what their donors want them to say. Whether it's about foreign policy or anything else, it's easy to go on opensecrets.org and see who their donors are and thus why they made a statement.

Nothing is done in America's interests - it's done to stuff pockets full of cash and contracts. http://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/contrib.php?cycle=201...
Identity: there exists one unique element e such that for any a it holds that e⋆a = a⋆e = a. This e is the same no matter what a you pick.

Invertibility: given any a, there is b such that a⋆b = b⋆a = e. For two different a's you get two different b's.

As example let G be a set of all strings and the operation is appending. There is element e == "". For any string a it holds that if you append empty string to any side, you get the original string back. However there is no inverse. You can not append two string to form an empty string. Apparently, strings with appending do not form a group.

Group example: let G be a set of all integers and the operation is addition. Then e is 0, as for all a it holds that a + 0 = 0 + a = a, and for each a you can find -a such that a + (-a) = (-a) + a = 0.
I don't think you provide enough information on the landing page to convince users to signup.
That's the point. Most web applications are unnecessary, and come with significant downsides.
I don't like the smart replies, but for a different reason.

It will only work under very generic situation with borderline functional replies. For me, that kind of conversation is just a small part of the every communication.

Human conversation is more organic than the demo tries to lead you to think. Details in the words and sentences convey very subtle but identifiable personality traits that the current algorithm cannot capture.

So, it is a really cool feature and a great showcase of recent advancements in applying deep learning to natural language. But it is pretty much a gimmick for now, and I will stay sceptical about whether this is going to turn user around and become a killer feature of Allo, after all if my friends didn't use this, neither will I.
Oh my God, I rarely if ever see an article which says exactly the opposite things than what I follow. For an IRC bot I've built and still developing it over the years, my guidelines are pretty much the exact reverse of this article. Except maybe the "3. Respect the chat medium". But seriously, I want it to pretend to be a human as much as possible, use free-form input and personalize responses for people involved.

Then again, that bot is designed to be fun addition to the channel and at the same time an useful tool, and not - like in this coming startup bot frenzy - an interactive ad.
Yeah, after the initial hype, I found myself rarely using this feature. But I still thought it is cool, just not usefully cool...
> Whenever a US politician makes a statement, I look Why they made that statement - and the why is often that they get paid in campaign contributions to say precisely what their donors want them to say.

I think this is a gross simplification - companies find politicians that are sympathetic to their positions to begin with, and then help finance those campaigns. I don't know about John Culberson specifically, but I'm quite sure that if you spoke to him or to numerous other politicians receiving the contributions you are complaining about - they would staunchly defend the positions they have adapted as being independent of donations. It's really not black and white.
As a programmer, I hate the modern world in general. None of these technologies are for the good of humanity. I once went on a survival camp for a month out in the middle of nowhere. It was the best time in my life. This really is a profound observation. I am sure technology can enrich people's lives. Even out in the middle of nowhere I was using primitive forms of technology. But our modern world is not full of the kinds of experiences that enrich our lives - quite the opposite.

Mobile phones may sound like a good technology until you realise that people are using them because all of their friends are miles away, or because they have to and their boss calls them all the time, or they are so bored at work that they would rather browse facebook.

Cars are something that could allow you to travel long distances but we mostly use them to sit in traffic or travel long distances simply because we have paved over everything around us and nature is so far away. Cars have contributed to pollution and cities that resemble car parks.

To me, and this is obvious from my experience in the jungle, the modern world is a complete failure that has not improved our lives at all.

My best experience in life was away from the modern world. I mean my mental and physical health ended up being completely different by the third week. My experience of life.... I was actually living. I have never felt that since. I feel like I know a secret about the world that others who have never had that experience will ever know.

I have a feeling that modern technology and life is guided by corruption, not by what is best for humanity.
While most in this article is true and has to be considered, in the real world of corporate production it will not work. Is is not user you have to care about. You have to keep happy your ignorant PM, that is all. Unless you are happy to put significant effort into inobtrusive education of your manager or PM, your efforts to enhance user experience will be most likely doomed.

> In general, "just use UTF-8" is a shorthand for "just let me pretend non-ASCII doesn't exist", because it leads to people writing code that assumes one byte == one character.

Only if people writing code are entirely oblivious to what UTF-8 is. The most basic feature of UTF-8 is that it's a variable-length encoding scheme. If the main feature is it's variable-length, why would any programmer assume the length doesn't vary?

This infuriates me to no end. I just cannot believe that it's even allowed to kick a user out of their browser and into an app store without their express interaction.
Something many businesses seem to forget is that if you want a developer to be the technical face of your business then they need to be able to write great code, but they also need to be able to chat to people at networking events, make small talk with clients, explain things in non-technical ways to investors, and so on. Employing people who have interests outside of coding really helps with that.

Likewise, if you're a developer who has ambitions of being a CEO, or an evangelist, or a team lead, then you need to be able to talk to people who aren't developers about things that aren't development, and that means having interests outside of code.

In fact, the term "x86-64" came into existence as a term-of-art because "x64" technically refers to the Itanium ISA (Intel's first now-forgotten attempt at a 64-bit ISA), not the IA64 ISA (Intel's canonicalization of AMD's unofficial extension to IA32.)

Except, suggesting "Don't worry I wait" means that the person might click that, instead of typing "ok".

This is a problem if you know the person well, and know that a response of "ok" in the situation indicates they are annoyed at you, etc.

Good points, but you should consider the experience of using a better mobile browser. Opera Mini isn't exactly up to date with modern web standards..
One trillion doesn't sound much compared to the rest.
The browser considers your touch (which you intended to scroll the page) an "express interaction". A policy from a simpler time!
> when there are already 2 links in this thread showing how much energy wind is producing right now?

You should also see the links that show the premium that energy users are forced to pay as a consequence of the government's investment in wind and hydro.

If you care about the economy and competitiveness, paying a premium for something whose alternative is currently in a historically-low cost is something that does matter.

Warm feelings don't power farms and factories.
Something that terrifies me, which I'm guessing probably does the same to you, is hearing people talk about how they can't wait to be able to "experience" things in VR instead of having to travel.

That's only one step away from justifying destroying the rest of our planet because we can just "experience" it with technology anyway.
A pile of hypocricy. Why on Earth if you are so much about self-determination of Saharawi, you force them to learn English in a soft game of neocolonialism, instead of putting money into development of their local industry and culture? Because you want these people to convert to mobile workforce, seduce them to leave and get resources from their land.
But isn't that the same thing? Left just to the votes of the people and equal opportunity campaign investments, those candidates and those policies wouldn't get the power. You are describing that, instead, candidates are essentially put in power by companies, who are therefore still in effect buying policy. Then, the representatives are no longer representing the people but the money.

For what it's worth this build and many previous builds are focused on HTPCs. Having a quiet, power efficient, and capable box is the aim. That is the theme. I personally don't see the value in this particular build, but this isn't trying to be an ultimate gaming rig. Just compareble to current gen consoles, with upgrade potential, while still being the quiet, small, power efficient HTPC box sitting under the TV.

Let's say you're making a movie, and you're hiring your music composer.
Both candidates have nearly identical CVs/experience/recommandations.
- Candidate 'A' says "I'm only doing this for money, I can't show you any of my work because of NDAs".
- Candidate 'B' says "I spend a lot of time composing in my freetime, here's a link to my soundcloud page".
Which one are you going to hire?

As someone who has been gaming since the early 80's, I think we indeed are in a golden age of gaming. But the thing is that you (mostly) have to look at indie titles, not AAA titles.

Games like FTL, The Curious Expedition, Rocket League, Papers Please, Super Hexagon, Crypt of the Necrodancer, Chaos Reborn, Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes... bring back the originality and the pure, unadulterated fun that we had gaming in the late 80s and early 90s, which had been mostly lost in the late 90s and in the full 00s decade, where everything seemed to be franchises and iteration on old formats.

Of course if you look at AAA games it's still mostly rehashes, grindfests and simplified remakes of classics, but I'd argue you're looking at the wrong place.
I agree with you in general -- all this stuff Google is doing with data really weirds me out -- but VR is actually really cool! You should try it sometime if you get the chance.

This article seems to be from the perspective of using databases, whereas I expected from the title it would be from someone who created database software.

Since learning how databases work from the ground up, my understanding of all software has changed a lot. When people argue about a database server being good or bad, or which ORM is best, I can only roll my eyes. Almost all of the popular advice around them is the cargo cult of an echo chamber.

It only took me around 6 months of studying, using, and building databases to learn the fundamentals. Database technology may seem boring at first, but it's actually a microcosm of computer science. If you want to learn more, dive in!

I encounter this on page loads frequently, before I've even touched the screen. I also encounter it from ads inside certain news apps (which actually angers me more than the browser, if only a little).

Sometimes I think that this issue will get a news report similar to the one flash-forward from The Simpsons:
"[year 40 years from now] 40 year study concludes: diet and exercise leads to weight loss".

Except it'll be:
"40 year study concludes: choosing a less lucrative field, and putting more time into family leads to lower salary at work".

We can have all the equality possible. That doesn't change the fact that nobody can have it all. You can't be a primary caregiver and also have an equal career to someone who isn't (statistically, obviously). Traditionally it's been the father who has (for lack of a better word) neglected the children. If you want an equally successful career you need to choose to (again, bad word here) neglect the children.

There is no such thing as an IT guy. The district contracted the work out to a company. My mother talked to them, they told her what needs to be done and wrote a proposal to the district administration. Those guys rejected it on the basis of "because fuck you, thats why".

IIRC, France has been very adamant in refusing to get its energy from spain and portugal due to political reasons. This became patently obvious in the EU's energy union negotiations, and in the way France insisted in forcing the so called Pyrenees power bottleneck (the only limitation to Spain and Portugal's ability to supply electrical energy to France)

I disagree. If you want to be the best and be highly successful, then you have to work hard. If you don't, someone else will.

There are plenty of companies and positions where you can have a great work/life balance, but if you want to be the best, just as in everything else in life, you have to work harder than everybody else.

>We, as an industry, are going to a dangerous place when we don't just expect, but require people to keep working after work.

For what values of 'industry'? I mean, I totally agree that if this is your local view then you are in a bad place but IME this is far from universal.
I don't dislike VR. I have a DK1, DK2, CV1, and a Vive. I think it's awesome, and has a lot of potential, but it scares me to see companies like Facebook and Google getting involved, and makes me sad to think about what the future of VR might become as a result. It also makes me sad for the people who will become wrapped up and "live" in VR, thinking that it's a 1:1 substitute for experiencing things in real life, which I'm sure shares at least some overlap with the people who haven't seen the outdoors unless forced since they became a part of WoW. The thing that worries me most in this regard, is that there are people openly talking about how they want this, and how they hope technology makes it so they never have to leave home again.

What's funny is that I'm sure there are people who make lots of money working for Facebook, Google, and others reading this thinking "we're not evil, our slogan even said so! This person is nuts!", but nobody really thinks what they're doing is wrong while they're doing it -- or they wouldn't be. Hindsight is 20/20 and all that..
You're forgetting another large cost-sink: R&D and prototyping.

Taken from their developer page (https://atap.google.com/ara/):

More Space. New Ideas.
The Ara frame contains the CPU, GPU, antennas, sensors, battery and display, freeing up more room for hardware in each module. We are looking to module makers to create technology never before seen on smartphones.

With 3D printers, cheaper cheapsets, ..., tinkerers can go on and try to create their own module which they can integrate into their phone. If the module is popular amongst users, integrate it either as a standard module in the ARA store (a 3rd party could for example propose to manufacture that module, shifting those costs to them, Google would just deliver the core ARA product).
Who would want to admit they are guilty of being essentially corrupt?Of cooooourse they would find excuses. But it's incredibly naïve to say US politicians aren't influenced by money. They are all bought.

Do you, in all honesty, think that public schools getting closed, Wall Street getting bailed out instead of jailed for ruining an entire economy, medication being kept expensive, social security getting cut, pay day lenders getting more influence, having the shittiest labor laws in the world, or even Tesla being prevented from selling cars on the web has nothing to do with corrupt US politics?

In all honesty, sometimes I think that Americans DESERVE to be in all the troubles they are in today - they REFUSE to see the truths that are in plain sight. Americans, despite being on the fast track to hitting an economic and societal brick wall will always find excuses to defend the elite who are the obvious and very overt source of their troubles.
