Kenyatta is fighting to make sure he stays in office - gentrification would change the skin color of his district, and that puts him at risk. But his district is full of abandoned houses, burned out lots, and general urban blight that's just too close to a whole bunch of already-gentrified areas: gentrification will happen whether he fights it or not as UPenn expands south.
> the adopters would have to keep buying more to keep the price up

That's a logical fallacy. As a Ponzi scheme is not the only way, nor the best way, to add value to the investment. So I don't think that fairly represents the market incentives that exist for the early adopters. Especially given the context of it's creation and the community of early adopters around it.

As I mentioned in my comment above, they are incentivized to have the project produce real tangible value if a) they are interested in seeing the technology succeed and b) they want returns on investment via dividends, which is typically the premise of a longer-term investment.

Even if a percentage of investors don't fit that criteria, I highly doubt they represent the majority. It would only require is a sufficient enough sized majority of well-intentioned investors to keep the project operational.

I'm not convinced the only way it could generate returns - and more generally prevent a drop in value - is by continually adding more investors. I expect they will put in some real effort to make it work as a functioning economic entity.
Programming languages are fun, perhaps, but they are tools for problem-solving, not self-expression, and they're nowhere near the scope and complexity of natural language.

Right, but the argument for being spec compliant is that some day you can simply stop using the transpiler and your code should not break.

So, the correct spec-compliant thing to do would be for the ES2015 preset not to touch import/export and let the bundler handle that (hopefully correct). Compiling to CommonJS, which doesn't care about `.js` or not, is the wrong choice.

> last time I was on an airplane (December), every single older woman over the age of 60 had an iPhone. This means that it's not only reached critical mass (the late majority on the technology adoption curve has been achieved), but now it's no longer hip.

I think it hasn't yet reached critical mass yet in plenty of second world countries. In Romania for instance there are plenty of lower end phones (specially /w teenagers) not because it's not hip (on the contrary, it yields social status) but because compared to the average wage here it's expensive as hell. The iPhone SE will probably sell heavily around here.

One thing I'm really hoping to see happen in Rust is more development to make it more "functional," as in suitable for a functional programming style. It's already so close and, while I don't want to bring up the higher-kinded types discussion, things like stronger support for closures being returned from functions are just not quite there yet for me.

I filled out the survey that was sent around and mentioned some of my concerns about missing crypto-in-Rust code and some of the shortcomings of the documentation. I'm pretty happy I'm not the only one mentioning one or both of those things, because it makes me hopeful that we'll see improvements soon. In particular, regarding docs, I've found it rather difficult to go from reading a type signature and brief explanation of a function/method and being able to actually use it, as a beginner. For example, when I tried to figure out Hyper, it took me a long time to realize I could use pattern matching in my function signatures to capture a mutable reference to something that Hyper was giving me ownership over. I feel silly having missed that, but being a beginner just referencing the Hyper docs, I really struggled.

Does anyone have more information about the crypto situation? In particular, I use ECDSA 384-bit for a lot of the code I write at work and have only been able to find the Ring library, which doesn't seem to feature signing yet. If I could get some high-quality, audited crypto code (or heck, even just some nice Rusty wrappers), I'd be so close to ready to use Rust at my day job and for more personal stuff as well.
The word "trusted" with regard to firmware traditionally means "pwned by a hostile adversary"; did ARM just choose a bad name for their project or is this another bit of "you think it's your computer but you're wrong" bullshit?
It's a shockingly bad idea. I support the right of people to invest in whatever they like, but VC has notoriously poor returns, decentralized VC run by a committee that can only invest in other decentralized technologies seems like a really, really bad idea. DAOs like Augur are actually interesting, even if you think they'll never work. This just seems crazy.
I think I largely agree with your assessment, though I learned Go first and am probably going to pick up Swift or Elixir next.

I work mostly with networked services though, and Rust seems to have a bit of a comparatively (vs Go, Elixir) poor concurrency/async-io story so far -- though I am sure the libraries will come eventually.

That's a GREAT question. Information Technology is $5.6T market, and telecommunications services is another $1.8T [1]. Uber and AirBnB, which I believe ARE tech companies, are under $90B combined, so ~2% of IT sector.

SpaceX is aerospace: ~$12B valuation vs ~$600B Aerospace & Defense industry size, and Tesla is automotive, $28B vs ~$750B Auto + components market.

Note that Uber, AirBnB, SpaceX and Tesla are probably the biggest unicorns out there.

But you are raising an important point - many industries will be redefined when new competitors are using IT much more heavily. Still, that growth mostly comes from existing players, and I believe the growth of the IT sector itself is limited now.

Yeah, maybe I was too harsh with the magic internet money thing. I still have fresh memories of when Bitcoin went past the $1000 mark before cooling down again. Just strikes me that the people genuinely wanting to use Bitcoin as an actual form of value exchange are overshadowed by people treating it as "the new gold"

The notion of having a very democratically run autonomous corporation seems a bit too far, but I'd be pretty excited to see someone using cryptocurrency to invest and buy shares in a company in a more accessible fashion than what we have now.

In other words, I think cryptocurrency could potentially provide a better alternative than the way the current stock market works, but I don't know if this is necessarily a better alternative.

I'm still not sure if even polling shareholders for product ideas works, unless product proposals are done effectively enough to where shareholders have a very clear vision on what the company is going to do, versus someone saying "So, we have this idea for an IoT product.

I used to think that, but I found myself questioning using certain Google products because I questioned their long term viability, and I've never been the "victim" of any service shutdowns. It's not rational, but the thought was there and I suspect I'm not the only one.

UPDATE: Look at the number of posts where people joke how long it will take before it gets shut down. Google has effectively branded itself as a company that creates ill conceived social applications in a vacuum only to shut them down or superficially rebrand them 19 months later.

I'm sorry, but much of Dropbox’s back-end infrastructure is historically written in Python, not Go. Go is a new addition to the stack. Only a small and very specific part of Dropbox is written in Rust, where things like an effectiveness of CPU caches becomes important. Other back-end code is still being written in Go.

If there's one thing I've learned in my corporate serfdom is that primadonnas can't handle other primadonnas. Do you think Steve Jobs would be able to work with another Steve Jobs? Jobs picked Cook because Cook wasn't Jobs, so Jobs was able to tolerate him. The problem is a company like Apple probably needs a Jobs-like character.

I see this all the time in the workplace. The difficult higher-ups always hire fairly milquetoast personalities they can easily control but when they leave, we now have a department of largely unmotivated 'yes men,' unable to do anything but take orders.
Sure, a single server architecture is nice, but for a "real" service you generally end up scaling to multiple servers because you need redundancy. So you end up with that complexity anyways whether you choose a low or high performance framework.
So I'm actually not super familiar with Scala. I do know Haskell a little bit. Could you elaborate on what you think the implications are for Rust's development down the functional route are? I've heard about the potential for support for higher-kinded types, which makes me think there could actually be a strong incentive to be able to do more functional programming in Rust if people started working on monad implementations and such.

How is this going to do anything other than make a new aristocracy: the "Cleared"?

The Cleared get to set the rules on how to join the class of Cleared Citizens, and administer the examination. The Cleared won't use Facebook, Twitter, or publicly express any opinion whatsoever, letting all the underclass disqualify themselves from Clearedness out of ignorance.

It will also lead to a further erosion of civil liberties, because the Cleared know that they can't publicly express any dissent, except maybe to advocate voting Democrat. That caution about dissent could spread to the underclass either by imitation, or by folk knowledge: "don't say anything the Feds don't like - you'll maybe be out of a job later".

>>Ruby (and Rails) scales just fine for 99.281% of things. You just need to throw money at it.

Basecamp is a great SAS business, you can tie utilization to revenue. Throwing money at the scaling problem (horizontal) is completely realistic in that scenario.

If you can't tie utilization directly to revenue, if your a pure service like twitter, or an online store with a bad browse vs buy ratio ruby is a BIG liability.

So is ruby fast enough? It depends. Its a business decision, not a technology one, and one I would have a hard time justifying for a lot of startups.

You're missing the point of what a blockchain is good at vs what it's not. Blockchains are good for assigning ownership. For networks which don't need to track ownership, of course you shouldn't use a blockchain. Bittorrent, Freenet, etc do not track ownership as infinite copies of something is not a problem, but a feature.

But for networks which do, you may want to. For example, only one person may control this name, this domain, this tradeable asset, etc.

Blockchains are an addon to distributed models because they allow a distributed way to prove ownership of something. Say I want to look someone up by name instead of by cryptographic hash, how do I do it? You can't register a name in a Freenet or Bittorrent model.

'Blockchain' is a meaningless buzzword at this point. The innovation of Bitcoin was proof of work and/or the calibrations involved in securing Bitcoin with energy.

When bitcoin became an unfundable space, the VC's and such moved into "Blockchain", which was marketed as the good parts of bitcoin, without the bad.

Unfortunately, the space has seemingly gone on to only emulate the worst parts of bitcoin. Scams, ignorance, and get rich quick schemes. Currently, "blockchain" appears to be targeting centralized, decentralized, mutable, immutable applications. The blockchain movement is meaningless, and appears to be merely the exhaust gas from the bitcoin funding hype.
I don't know if he's criticized any releases or not but, yes, he did provide them with the documents. He also said that the journalists would be the ones to decide what got released, released but redacted, etc.

Greenwald, et al, have complete discretion in this regard. I'm not sure that a lack of criticism counts as a tacit endorsement and I'm not sure what it would accomplish anyways. I would find it surprising if he even knows what is going to be released before the general public does -- that is, he probably finds out at the same time we do (when it's posted).
So having done a lot of work in the 911 systems for years, I have some first hand experience here.

First, most pizza apps are just that, an app. That app has access to your phones location data through GPS and some even use WiFi location services. Hence it can send a nearly exact position to where you are standing.

Contrast that to the standard phone network and systems ANI/ALI solution, which still does not (completely) support GPS coordinates at this point. In addition, while there were phases (phase I and phase II) of cell phone location compliance put into place by the federal government, most networks and phone companies lagged far behind in implementation of those standards. On top of that, city and county 911 dispatch centers (PSAP and secondary centers) also have to upgrade their phone and CAD integrations to support better location services.

As for why it isn't being disrupted. Simple, looooooooong sales cycles for an extremely limited market that is vigorously defended by the incumbents. Seriously, it isn't rare for a 2-3 year sales cycle for a lot of 911 components and systems. 18 months is about the normal when it involves critical systems with 12 months being probably the fastest you see anything change. Not to mention, the partners you need involved to make a solution work and be palatable to the 911 centers are the exact same companies who want to keep you out of their market, so it isn't easy. Not impossible, just not very probable without seriously deep pockets to support what would likely be a 3-5 year development to first sale. It makes selling to enterprises look like a fast process and cake walk.
