I walk, but not to refill.

> That's easy. Refill each one a few times before throwing it out. Don't wash it, and don't have multiple to keep track of.

It takes quite a bit longer to refill one of these, due to the mechanics of pouring into a neck. I can refill a widemouth class from a 2L bottle on autopilot while mostly still thinking about the problem that was at hand, but I have to devote much more attention to refilling a half liter bottle, and I'm inevitably going to spill some on the outside of the bottle anyway, which means drying the bottle, which means either using a paper towel or a cloth towel, but using a cloth towel means I need to have just washed the bottle or I'm dirtying a towel which can't be used to dry clean clean dishes, now...

A refill of soda, or just grabbing a new half liter bottle and twisting the cap, can be done without much conscious attention. See above for the much more involved process of refilling a half liter bottle. :)
California already has stricter emissions standards than most states. You can't purchase a car in Oklahoma and register it in California without making modification to the emissions system.
You don't have to read every line of code. But if some maintainer goes and adds something like the Win 10 autoupdate, you are allowed to go and revert that and provide an alternate fork or distribution (assuming GPL license or similar). You can't do that for Windows, because legally you're not allowed to.
No it's not. It's an Z80-based computer. Not an 8-bit CPU from scratch.
> Wikipedia readers thus become accustomed to searching in English, and not seeing the knowledge that exists in their neighboring countries.”

As we should be? Wikis work best at scale, and diluting the content between different languages helps nobody.

Especially us scandinavians have no excuse for not just using (or especially contributing to) the english version instead.
Hmm, dunno. It took millions of years for life to make crits with more than two ganglia to rub together. Again, why would it be any different with artificial intelligence?

Like, I don't want to be controversial and all (OK, I do) but it seems to me the folks who claim that strong AI is Just Around the Corner™ and it's just a matter of more data and bigger computers, have too much testosterone sloshing around in their system and just wanna show the world ... something. There's a real fixation with _big_ data, _powerful_ and _fast_ computers and _strong_ AI, stuff like that. The whole FOOM thing is just another one of those things- like somebody didn't hear what Alan Moore had to say about comics and growing up already.

I mean, I went through nerd-puberty myself, so maybe if people kept asking me what the ideal AI would be I'd start saying things like "obviously, it will be _elegant_ and it will make use of _pretty_ data" or something equally stereotypical.

But, it's all just fantasies. If there was going to be some sort of takeoff, why didn't it happen in a few billions of years of life on the earth? If we think we have the resources now for computers to take off (instead of imploding in some sort of paperclipocalypse) there certainly were more than enough resources for a couple of takeoffs of biological entities in the time since the dawn of life. Instead, what we got is one -count them- one species with the intelligence to start a technological civilisation and many, many that are almost there but not quite. All the data we have hints to the fact that singularities are extremely unlikely, and even the one we know occured -ours- took a lot of time to set up properly and had to evolve over millions of years. So it wasn't a singularity at all, more like a slow, steady process that eventually surpassed some sort of limit.

tl;dr FOOM my foot.
How to make your revenue skyrocket using email marketing
So the thing is - I'm uncomfortable with that definition, because it glosses over the issue that seems to be happening. Modern censorship isn't just legal - it's cultural. There seems to be this idea that the correct response to something you find offensive is to shout at the person you disagree with, attacking their character or dismissing their views because of who they are. That doesn't sit well with me, because it creates what is essentially censorship - instead of views being aired and rejected (which is fine), the person espousing them is attacked personally, and publicly. It creates a climate of fear, to the extent that speech is suppressed, and I've definitely seen it first hand.

Agreed, I used the Xabber client on Android for years to keep in touch with our entire remote team (20ish people) using a basically out of the box ejabberd server. Never noticed poor battery life or heavy bandwidth usage and the communication was rock solid. Switching back and forth between desktop clients and mobile worked as expected with no weird surprises. All around a great experience, and this was 2011 ish through 2014.
I just read your comment again, and you're lying. "Tricked by an obvious parody article." That's compatible with "stupid" but not with "uninformed". You were also being a smartass about it, which is rude.
>...Hospitals would typically make a loss on residency programs otherwise; contrary to what some people believe, they're actually quite expensive to operate.

How does that work? Residents make very little money and do a lot of work. How are they not a profit center for hospitals?
Many many democrats also were on the "defense of marriage" bandwagon until recently. Including Obama, the Clintons, etc.

I choose from among the dozens of options, based on functionality and configurability. That's the degree of control that I've needed. Saying that "control" would require someone to read every line of source is a wonderful strawman.

> In that case, maintainers have control.

And if they change the software in a way that I dislike, I can fetch a previous version of the program and use it that way forever, or disable the changes in the new version. Thankfully, I don't usually have to do that. There's almost always another piece of software that can be reconfigured to do what I want.

They're rushing to copy all the things I dislike about Apple. They're also rushing to emulate the things I hate about Google and Facebook. Meanwhile they are doing little to fix what I don't like about Microsoft, nor are they copying many of the good things.

In Zero to One there is an excellent chapter about the dark side of competition and how it makes you cargo cult your competitors instead of thinking creatively. This is an example.

Don't compete. Innovate and focus on the user and the problem domain, not the others. Otherwise you just become an inferior copy.

(I know very little about this world) why do you need approvals to use open source software? Certainly the purse strings are tightly held, but why is use of free software restricted?
there is no censorship without government involvment - you are using the word incorrectly.

calling someone a racist for saying something isnt censoring them.

calling someone a bigot for their opinion isnt censoring them

if there is no official representative of the government deciding what is and is not acceptable, there is no censorship.

if you want to make an argument that tumblr users are immature and that using supression debate tactics is something you are uncomfortable with, then make that argument. you will likely find much greater support.

if you want to make an argument that censorship is happening, you need to provide evidence of a governmental authority classifying certain types of speech as unacceptable or illegal, since that is what the word you are using means.

here you have provided an argument that boils down to "well censorship should mean something different than what it means."
Sarcasm, you stated no memory and resources, thats not true. Shill no, Facebook is the largest connected social network, thats fact. If I want to message someone ill know they have a Facebook account. Just because you have biased, anecdotal evidence about you receiving 5 messages in 12 months from Messenger doesn't mean squat.

Unlike your oddball use case, the majority of people want notifications for messaging apps. Crazy right, why would people want to know when their friends have messaged them, what weirdos. Notifications are not resource intensive, power hungry services that kill your phone, but if you don't want them turn them off!

I don't know what setup you have but its obviously bad if basic things like messenger and web apps crash on you. Millions of people use these apps without issue, why do you have so many problems?

You like Skype, thats wonderful, many people don't, thus why Messenger is more popular. This thread is about Facebook removing the Messenger web app, its not called 'What apps SomeCallMeTim has on his busted phone that keeps crashing'. You use Hangout and Skype, so why do you even care if Facebook removes the web app version you received 5 messages on in the past 12 months that crashes on your phone?

Does Facebook removing the web app somehow decrease security for you? Stop whinging about security and then spruik services from Google and Microsoft, its stupid.

Im done talking to you. You obviously have some real issues with Facebook you need to address on a personal level.
I wouldn't call it 'little-known', it's become quite "famous" in my academic circles at least.

I am the same. Always outside, lived on a farm for a few years, lived in the city. No problems with any allergies, and then, about 15 years ago, I worked in a store with photochemistry, but no ventilation. I was diagnosed with asthma some months later. I was pre-disposed to it, though.

Recently, I developed a new allergy to certain types of grass. Now I end up with white dots in my eyes, and a lot of pain.
Also ask them about how many bloody times prompts about upgrading have come up, again and again and again. People are not perfect robots that crunch data, fatigue sets in at some point, which is exactly what microsoft preyed on in this case. Crunching data is what we use computers for, or at least try to.
That contempt is earned from a history of doing things that make articles like this one necessary.

Quite likely, though we may also be talking about different cultures? The one that Alan Kay mostly discusses in his talks is the ARPA culture of the 1960s, which bore fruit in the creation of the Internet and personal computing. The reason that culture exists out of the boundaries of HN is probably generational—most of its surviving members are either retired (though as Kay says, "still vital") or don't spend time on internet forums. It would be a huuuuge benefit to all of us if we could figure out a way to either get more of them onto HN or at least to make more of their work and experience accessible here.

Its a really difficult analysis.

Take a food stuff. In theory the current price is the cross section of supply and demand (price equilibrium), your idea is that with BI we have just increased demand while supply remains unchanged naturally price equilibrium changes resulting in a price increase. However, with a growth in demand, the market should respond and supply should increase to meet the increased demand, thus readjusting price equalibrium. Obviously this is for a food stuff not something more finite like housing.

Still food stuffs or housing, we don't really live in a free capitalist market as much as we would like to believe. There are many government subsidies artificially impacting current supply/demand/price. One example, farm subsidies where farmers are paid to not grow crops/farm their land (~$1.3B/year). I think its ridiculous, but economists more knowledgeable than me (even if on the farmer's dime) argue its necessary to keep supply artificially low to keep prices artificially high otherwise the entire industry would fail and we would all be starving.

Assuming BI did have such an overall impact on the prices of everything or even just the basics (food stuffs, housing, gas, etc...) there are all types of mechanisms the government currently employees to artificially raise and lower prices and special interests won't be going away with BI.

Windows might be great if you have enough free time for learning to disable all the crapware, experimenting and fixing bugs. Also you'll need time to optimize it. For example out-of-the-box Windows on an SSD boots slower that Ubuntu and Windows boots slower than any Linux OS on an HDD. And latest Windows 10 is maybe 2 or 3 times slower than Windows 7, I don't remember when I saw such a long operating system bootup. I know for certain it needs SSD but I don't want to buy it.

(this is my experience, and the experience of many on the Windows 10 forums)
if you were designing that dialog box to actually let users control whether or not they could upgrade to win 10 and made sure they made the right choice, is that how you would have designed the dialog box? again the dialog box microsoft designed was not to help out the users. it was to trick them into upgrading win 10.

the dialog is purposely built to trick users into clicking on the X, something users have been taught to do and what has always by default been, "cancel, don't do whatever this dialog box tried asking you to do."

also, when is the last time you saw a dialog box with that much text? which dialog boxes have you been reading exactly? even so, it's not as though the amount of text telling the user absolves them from their dark design patterns to trick users. microsoft did the bare minimum to let users know and changed the way the ui works by having the close button _agree_ to the changes rather than canceling them.

No, it doesn't. I'm running iOS 9.0 on my iPhone, because that's the last jailbroken version. My phone NEVER nags me to upgrade. NEVER.

Now if I plug it into my computer and run iTunes, iTunes does ask. But I don't do that very often, as there's no reason to plug your phone into a computer these days.
Also Linux has better font rendering and more straight forward UIs than Windows.
I think that Slack being down is related to this:

Watchdog: 18F's Slack security exposed GSA data
https://fcw.com/articles/2016/05/13/slack-security-18f.aspx

It was enough of a problem that the reaction was to probably take it down and take a hard look at everything before being it back up. Maybe a hosted rocket.chat will be the replacement to allow them more granular control over security.
Ok, then report "MS is using dark patterns", not "Windows is upgrading on its own and there was nothing we could do to stop it". Those are both very serious failure modes, and both need to be adressed, but by obscuring which one is actually occurring you're doing nobody a favor.
The computer industry is in constant danger of losing sight of the early pioneering work in CS, much of which is still relevant and under-applied. Alan Kay and many other titans in the field play a vital role in helping us rediscover what might otherwise be lost.

You have to read all sorts of configuration guides to get win 10 to disable all the crapware it comes with. Ads, candy crush, telemetry, etc.

You're right, everyone is on the hook for their own agency, and with such strict regulations they are very conservative about using each other's stuff, which is effectively delegating decisions and responsibility to others that may get them in trouble.

This is a major reason for cloud.gov going after the FedRAMP JAB P-ATO recognition. "JAB" is the Joint Authorization Board comprised of the CIOs of the Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, and the General Services Administration. Having a triple-sign-off from three CIOs under a consistently applied set of standards is the highest social proof you can get in government that will convince other agency CIOs that it is OK to use your stuff at their agency. Normally it's vendors that go through this program... We're among the few to do it for a government-developed-and-operated service, and the first to do it for something as generally useful as a PaaS.

The other aspect is making sure everything we do to deploy and document the platform's compliance is open source and subject to scrutiny, so they can check for themselves... and ideally contribute in areas they think it could be better, of course!

Sorry. I thought you were saying that jobs that are currently viable should not be allowed to be automated away. I was wrong.

I am in favor of automation (for the same reasons you are, I think), and automation does harm unskilled workers.

Between the present day and the future golden age of robotics that we both desire is a period of time in which some fraction of the population, who have specialized skills that are hard to automate, will work for a living, while another fraction (probably larger than the first) of the population will have nothing to offer in return for money. I don't see any way around the first group subsidizing the existence of the second.

I can barely afford to live in the US because I live in a pretty expensive part of it. I'll blindly guess that my zip code is the second most expensive one in NYC. My thesis is that you (and I, and my family, and everyone else who has ever lived) live only once. I refuse to live a gazillion miles away from work while wasting countless hours of my life commuting. This costs me, as the most desirable areas of Manhattan are also the most expensive.

To be able to afford such a lifestyle, I have to make a considerable amount of money. This leads to my family being ineligible for any kind of freebies from the government. We're forced to look on while other families receive handouts in the form of food stamps, free school lunches, free healthcare and subsidized housing. Many of those families cheat the system by finding loopholes in eligibility criteria. They sneak through and enjoy significant free comforts on my dime... and that of every other taxpayer in the country.

So yes, I can barely afford to live here because I'm being taxed to the gills while freebies are flying to countless others who don't deserve it. I'd much rather cancel the whole rigmarole and just flat out pay everyone the same basic income every year. At least my family will get its fair share of it.
What if said person is a young person who had been raised to believe this? Not really his fault, right? And perhaps a civil discussion with others who disagree might lead him to a personal re-evaluation of his beliefs. A response of "you are dumb and hateful" is not likly to bring that about.
