I see it as Nokia was a very good hardware company that couldn't turn itself around into a software company. Before iPhone you needed many moving parts, good supply chains, great hardware variety, spare part production and who knows what. Now you need good software. Nokia was less likely to turn itself around than IBM.

In case anyone reads this and wants to investigate Ketosis further: under 50g/day of carbs you start to risk kidney stones, inflammation, developmental delays, nervous system failure and Other Bad Things [1].

The optimal number of carbs for humans metabolically speaking seems to be 50-100g/day. >100g/day, you basically progress linearly to diabetes, insulin resistence, nervous sytem dysfunction and Other Bad Things. [2]

cool trick but we all know who will end up using this the most:

advertisers. another way for them to "gauge" their reach and brand appeal. or something.

literally i feel like every new thing that comes to the browser, a marketer at a company thinks, 'how can we exploit this to put more junk into the face of other people?'

i am not against advertising, i just think most of them have no limits in terms of what they'll exploit at the expense of their own users.

> > Who says divorce is the expected outcome of marriage?

> Statistics.

[citation needed]

> What's more likely, divorce or marriage until death?

Probably, the latter. The popular "half of all marriages will end in divorce" was from near the peak in the particular methodology it used, and was based on projecting the then-past trend and making an estimate of lifetime probabilities for new marriages based on that trend extending out into the future, and even then it was a result of second and subsequent marriages having significantly higher divorce rates than earlier marriages, with first marriages, even in the projection, being substantially below 50% probability of ending in divorce.

But its actually really hard to get a good idea of what is more likely when you don't have a way of actually sampling the space of interest (which would take reaching into the future), and various methodologies of estimating divorce risk (and even whether the rate at which marriages end in divorce is really rising or falling) come to different answers.

True AI is a long way off according to top ML people like Yann LeCun

We have no idea how a computer can be designed to come up with its own goals. We can teach it English, French, and Chinese, or get near perfect photo identification, but the computer cannot decide to learn to write a novel on its own. We could teach it to write novels, but there would still be other tasks it can't do. Even if a computer could self-direct 99% of known possible things in the universe, if there were one thing we could prove it would never learn, then it's not AI.

It may not even be possible and we could be stuck with humans around forever. Ug.

He writes: "It was because of these articles that Vitalik Buterin, one of the founders of The DAO, started exploring the concepts in a three part series."

Vitalik is in no way a founder of The DAO. He's a "curator" which only means he can whitelist wallet addresses that can receive funds. He had no hand in it's creation or in the white paper that inspired it.

Getting such a basic fact wrong makes me doubt his understanding in general.
They only have enough power though to enforce default behavior (i.e. "do nothing") whereas vitalik probably has enough power to enforce active behavior.

Even though I have the latest version of Maps installed I never use it and it is disabled and blocked from the net. Osmand works great, aside from when it tells you to get on a freeway; it doesn't, and will say something like "veer right", which has caused some headaches. Searching within osmand for an exact address also sucks. I have to enter Los Angeles for cities such as say, Reseda, when it should know better. Thankfully the fdroid apk AddressToGps fixes the search perfectly, allowing you to enter an exact address which then uses a google api to pull up the exact coordinates which is then seamlessly handed off to Osmand. All you do after is tell it to map the route. Without addressTogps, osmand is practically unuseable.
GEO Bookmark, fdroid repo, is also an excellent companion ap to osmand.

Fair enough. I'm in a very good situation now, so I am speaking from a privileged position. However, I have worked as a cashier at a grocery store in the past (admittedly I didn't depend on it to survive.) I empathize with those hard workers who take pride in their job, but I feel like keeping jobs around for the sake of giving people livelihoods is a signal of something very flawed in how our economy, or even society, operates. I dream of a world where we collectively choose to work less, because robotics and AI has picked up the lion's share of labor.

I read through the whole thing, and honestly, that whole thing seemed really straightforward.

What would you see the issue as?
On Time is Late
Yes, a little, although it's on the fringes of my knowledge on the subject. Suppose, instead of colouring all the pairs of natural numbers like {2,3} or {100, 1056}, you colour all the infinite sets of natural numbers like the set of all odd numbers {1, 3, 5, ...} or the set of powers of two {2, 4, 8, ... }. Every possible infinite set must be coloured either red or blue.

Now, if the Ramsey theorem were to extend to this scenario, then for every possible red/blue colouring there would be some (necessarily infinite) subset A of natural numbers which is "monochromatic", i.e. every infinite subset of A receives the same colour. However, this isn't the case. It's possible to show there exists a very clever colouring which excludes the possibility of having an infinite monochromatic subset. I've only seen proofs of this which use the axiom of choice and are not constructive (although I don't know if this is always necessarily so), but the top reply to this question is one of the nicer proofs: http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/282827/does-a-red-bl...

This is surprising partly because if you take an arbitrarily large number n and colour all sets of natural numbers with cardinality n, then you will still get an infinite monochromatic subset.

Edit: the second response in the above link argues that the Axiom of Choice is a necessary assumption in the proof. This is probably one of those unsatisfying results which says "we know this thing exists, but we also know that we'll never be able to construct or define it explicitly".
Do you develop, professionally, for the web?

> I agree, but how did customers need JIT? I thought it was just to compensate for the inherent performance penalty of an extra layer, of a VM.

Good -- and simple[1] -- abstractions require lots of dynamic dispatch, that can be optimized away by a JIT. The problem is far simpler (and may be solved partially, AOT, if you don't have dynamic linking and especially dynamic code loading, as is the case on Android).

> and array-bounds checking (um... is that last one a "linguistic" feature?)

I would definitely classify that as extra-linguistic.

> But I meant by my statement, that these folks think intrinsic value is the only "real" value, that they dispute extrinsic value entirely! i.e. that ideas are eternal, valuable absolutely and despite context; and contingent fluctuations in supply and demand, progress of technology and install base etc are 100% meaningless.

I understand and completely agree.

[1]: You can do away with a lot of dynamic dispatch at the cost of a larger number (and therefore less simple) abstractions, as in the case of Rust.

Performance will come as the need develops. Yes it's faster to render something on the server right now, but that may not be the case in the near future. The concept of loading something from the server is also only accounting for a very specific use case. These days most websites will require more data from the server after the webpage has been loaded anyway.

Server rendering simply wont make sense for some binary applications, such as games.

Remote usability testing would be fantastic. This could be useful for local testing as well. Having a library or tool that could generically sit in front of a site to show where users look when taking action X sounds beneficial to me.

Let's also say that you want to be able to hire programmers to write and maintain it. And it would be nice to make it open to many more people so they could find and fix bugs.

After that, what's left?

At the moment, none of the above languages have any significant talent pool to draw from. If you're operating at "Twitter-scale" (I guess that's now a thing), you also need to be able to spin up a team of people that can get to work quickly without having to learn a language as they go. That eliminates a great number of languages just for logistical reasons. Rust might get there (and I hope it does!), but it's not there yet.

Maybe Twitter already has a significant number of skilled Java engineers, so they decided to use what they already knew really well. There's nothing wrong with that. Choosing any of the other languages you listed would have been a far riskier strategy.

I'd strongly suggest reading Smith on that.

I'd also inquire as to:

1. Who or what the economy is supposed to be for, anyway.

2. What the situation is when it's not trivially possible to create increased value through exploitation of labour. That speaks to some problems with the production function.

3. The possibility of positive externalities and/or public goods (also of negative externalities and rent-seeking).

4. The relationships between wealth and political or negotiating power.

I'll give you a hint on that last. "Wealth, as Mr Hobbes says, is power." Smith again.

An homage to strict coding
Um, why?

If you, as a site owner, expect your page to be served over SSL, turn on Strict Transport Security, enable TLS, and turn off HTTP. STS will prevent someone from using sslstrip on you (STS means the browser won't talk to the site over HTTP after the first observance of the header, at least until expiry), and you can easily configure your web server to 301 all comers to a TLS connection.

If you want to detect and prevent MITM via client side code, you can't - if the page has been MITM'd the attacker can remove or modify your client side code. If the page has been served over an MITM'd TLS connection (e.g. enterprise proxy, etc), then your code is unreliable, and the attacker (and yes, your enterprise proxy is an attacker) can remove or modify your client code.

If you want to use the certificate information to present information to the user, then you are attempting to train the user to trust security details about the connection in remotely loaded content instead of browser chrome (think lock icons in content vs. address bar indicators), and browser vendors don't like that, since it promotes bad habits.

I can't think of a single practical use for inspecting the certificate from Javascript.

On the other hand, if I as a site owner run a battery intensive site, I can observe the battery and notify the user that I am about to use all their power.
