> Build a car with a hyper-focus on reliability and toss a 150,000 mile 10 year comprehensive warranty on it

Which is exactly what Hyundai did. They offer 10 year / 100k miles warranty. Contrary to the perception, their warranty gave me confidence to try it, and I've been happy with it so far.
>> "Subscription implies that your app is tied to your own backend service that you keep up and running without Apple's help."

You could be using iCloud as your backend. You're definitely using their subscription billing infrastructure. You're getting access to their users credit cards without having to ask for them.
8 years from a laptop is still more than you would expect from almost any other manufacturer, save maybe IBM/Lenovo tho' I have heard the build quality of Thinkpads has really deteriorated lately.

If I remember correctly edX is a non-profit. So I guess at least the content will be freely available even if they charge for the certification. I think both Coursera and edX have some financing schemes for those who can't afford the price, although I haven't found out how it actually works.

Doesn't sound as if it's really very efficient, though, when you measure the entire chain (sunlight, plants, oil fields, crude, refined fuel, rolling wheels) against the currently achievable chains from sunlight via electricity to rolling wheels.

Which I realise isn't your point but IMO it's what an F1/FE comparison should count.
We use surge.sh to host our production app for our customers, and have been very happy except for one bout of downtime which was very frustrating.

I have no objection to paying 13$/mo if surge would implement some premium redundancy features. Cloudflare already gives me the SSL I need, and 13$/mo for custom redirects isn't really worthwhile for me when I can just use hash-based history for our app.

Basically I think you guys have the pricing worked out incorrectly, at least for our use-case. Avoiding downtime is the #1 reason I would pay someone else to host something for me (because tbh I can just write an ansible script to deploy my code to nginx running on Digital Ocean if I wanted to maintain it myself).

Everything is imperfect, it's not a good reason to discount anything.

Didn't most of the military-industrial complex drop Ada in favor of C or C++ as soon as the DoD dropped the requirement that critical software must be done in Ada?

AFAIU the JSF software is done in C++, there is (or at least used to be) some JSF coding guidelines document on Bjarne Stroustrups web page. Of course, blaming C++ for the JSF boondoggle is unfair, but still, one wonders whether it was wise of the DoD to allow C/C++...
No. In the first table Rust has 1874 and C++/clang 1722. The latter number is lower. C++ with clang beats Rust.

In the second table all C and C++ versions beats Rust. 618, 749, 755 and 735 vs 877. That is a very big difference.

You can also run the fucking benchmarks yourself and see for yourself. I have linked to lots of benchmarks showing C spanking Rust. None has shown any fair benchmarks were Rust is as fast as C.
>And then you can say, "us being the first is egocentric". Well, but we're the first when it comes to building radio stations, so we clearly won that lottery big time.

Who told you we're "the first when it comes to building radio stations"? There could be 200 other explanations for "radio silence" from advanced civilizations (if they exist).

The probability that God exists depends entirely on your priors. After all we have no observable evidence to consider. I would give it a very low prior, because it's such a weirdly specific belief, considering all the possible origins of the universe.

The probability we are in a simulation depends on a bunch of assumptions. Assuming specifically we are asking about a "historical simulation", that the parent universe is identical to ours, we can change the question. Instead ask what is the probability we will someday create historical simulations of our past.

Technology certainly seems to advance over time, and the upper limits on computational power are extremely generous. So it's possible we could someday have the technology to do it. Assuming that, then it just depends on the probability you think we will want to make simulated beings. Something about that seems kind of sick and immoral, so I am skeptical of that assumption.

But if it is true, then the probability you are in a simulation is extremely high. Because the number of simulated beings could easily be orders of magnitude higher than the number of actual 2016 Earth inhabitants. Provided that many different simulations are run.
You can get 'geothermal' waters pretty much anywhere in the world, it only depends on how deep you dig (in some cases this is completely unviable from an economic point of view)
You can then use the water for heating, extracting minerals, spas, swimming pools etc.
>> "they are only designed to run for a few hours before needing to be replaced completely."

That's wrong. An F1 engine has to do about 800 miles/1200km based on current rules. In testing over 4 days Mercedes completed about 2000 miles and I believe that was without an engine change. Obviously these numbers are much less than a person would drive in a year but significantly more than a couple of hours. I'm sure they could be designed to go longer and be continue to be efficient of necessary too as rules have forced this change over the years.
How the Big Apple Is Fueled
progfun1 failed for me.

proglang-002 didn't even begin downloading.
2.3 no longer matters. Nobody uses it anymore.
With a few exceptions (maybe it makes sense for facebook with its army of devs to still target it), all the devs I know only have a legacy apk (no longer developed, just barely maintained) for their few 2.x users.

The popular minSdk at the moment is 16 (4.1) .
This gives a nice common API, the biggest roadbump in most cases is that you have to handle pre and post lollipop cases : with/without transitions, ripples, etc, ...
It is nothing compared to having to handle 2.x devices though .. the API were pretty primitive and the hardware extremely poor.. you can't develop a 2016 app and target these devices.

Of course there are exceptions. For a camera app, the Camera2 API added in lollipop might be crucial.

In most cases, the support lib does hide most of the API differences.

Many new libs are also provided by Google directly unbundled from the SDK, such as the design lib, RecyclerView or ConstraintLayout.
I have a feeling it wouldn't be that difficult to do codesigning on another platform. It's a case of sha all the things, encrypt the sha with the cert private key, and render a plist with the signatures. IIRC there is a code signature load command in the Mach-O headers too?
Did god invent humans or was it the other way round?
>To assume that a collection of beings which have obtained the ability to travel amongst the stars would focus their attention on a single species on a single planet is fundamentally selfish.

The "focus their attention" implies some total devotion. They could just study us or just come visit for the experience.

Like we "focus our attention" to thousands of wild life, with documentaries and shelters and various research, despite having obtaining the ability to travel among the continents (and even to the moon) and being much smarter than them.

Second, who said they have "obtained the ability to travel amongst the stars" in the first place? If they exist, they could be just like us, or even like us back in ancient times. And in that case, one would imagine they'd totally "care" for us, if they only could find us (like we care as to whether others exist or not).
I remember in high school we were taught we should separate thousands using spaces instead of comma or period, since it avoids that whole cross-cultural confusion about which symbol does what.

You'd be surprised. That's 19th century thinking about science, and not really how science works in practice most of the time.
First on earth out of billions of species. That was my hole point... I edited it to make it clearer.
i thought of that as well.Went and looked at my mail list programme in Racket, and the mail procedure takes many recipients, but in the form if rest arguments, like: (define (send-mail msg . recipients) ...)

passing it a list makes the recipients arg a list with a list of recipients. To actually send to multiple recipients I explicitly have to use the apply procedure that passes all list elements as arguments.

as you said, not a staticly typed language. types would have made an eventual error easier to debug though.
The universe is so big, that I think it's very likely that somewhere out there are, there are many other intelligent civilisations, in distant galaxies–but so far away we'll never be able to visit them, never be able to communicate with them, we'll likely never even know of their existence (not in a million years–and I mean that literally.)

In the long-run (of millions of years), the two most likely outcomes for humanity are extinction or galactic colonisation. If we do colonise the galaxy, we'll prevent any other intelligent species from evolving within it (by fully occupying that ecological niche.) If we go extinct, we'll leave that niche open for another species to maybe one day occupy as we would have failed to do. The galaxy is likely a natural hard limit for our species, since while interstellar travel is difficult it is arguably possible (not with present day technology and economics, but potentially within a few centuries from now), but intergalactic travel is likely never going to be possible.

Even if these authors are right that other intelligent life once existed in this galaxy, it's almost surely extinct by now. If that's true, it makes their conclusion profoundly pessimistic – the more ruins of dead civilisations this galaxy contains, the greater the likelihood that we'll meet the same fate as they did.

I think we'll always be alone in the universe. And it's probably better that way.
Fifty years ago, an academic told the world: "think for yourself and question authority" (T. Leary, 1967: how to operate your brain). The second part of the phrase has been repeated on everything from bumper stickers to toddler's clothing, but the first part has largely been put aside, for, while the academy has continued to tell people that authorities are to be mistrusted, it has at the same time ignored its mission of helping young people learn how to think. Top grades are awarded to students who struggle with simple mathematics, sentence construction, and the elements of logic.

Fifty years is a long time. The vast majority of high-school teachers were taught in todays watered-down system, so there is little hope at that location on the educational conveyor belt. There is some potential at the university level, because university professors are largely self-made people. But it is hard to hold to standards, when universities regard students as clients and professors as service providers, and where the path to promotion is paved by good "metrics" (bums in seats, enthusiastic course reviews, etc.) that are bought most easily by grade inflation.

The commencement speech is wonderful. But these words don't need to be heard by students at Caltech, regularly ranked the top university in the world. And replaying them in the New Yorker magazine doesn't exactly get them to the ears that need to hear them. Maybe social media will help, so thanks, HN, for this.

That's an interesting question about US case law, but my guess is that the negotiations had lots of clauses like "this supercedes any prior offer" and in this case things are a bit cut and dry, legally speaking. That's why we have lawyers, after all.

The article's reasoning only works if you assume you're extracting gasoline already refined from the earth. You're not.

I'd bet the energetic cost of refining gasoline from crude oil is much larger than that for the coal or "powerplant oil", thus seriously offsetting that 33% vs 50%?

This is ignoring the more obvious fact that a powerplant can operate at nearly constant efficiency, while a real car driving on a read road will have a wildly varying efficiency, even with a hybrid engine...)

And even if electric is "less green" now, we are kind of sure that we can drive down the price of electric power very low in the future (solar, renewable, classic nuclear, fusion etc. ...only one breakthrough in only one of these will have huge price lowering consequences), while the price of oil can only go up...
TPP and TTIP do seem to go quite a bit further than just some agreement about tariffs, though. There are public health issues at stake, and as such, public interest should definitely be involved.

I spoke to one of the guys working there about 'how did he find it without having a mobile', and he replied that it was actually quite nice as they did not get disturbed too much. They do have pagers that allow them to be reached, to then find a desk phone and call back.

Using the nightly builds of any programming language in production is insane. That's why we call it FutureRust to differentiate it from what is production ready Rust.

That Rust might have SIMD intrinsics in the future matters little to people trying to seriously use Rust today. And in several benchmarks C handily beats Rust even without intrinsics. Such as the fannkuch-redux one where it is about 2x faster.
What I always don't get about this, is the omission of the probability of life emerging. We know it's possible but do we know how likely it is?
Sometimes developed countries miss out on some good ideas. When I lived in Lima, Peru and La Paz, Bolivia in the 60's, they had a system called "colectivos". You stood on a main road, and in a few minutes a random car would stop, you'd pile in with four other people, and for 10¢ you'd get a ride downtown.

No permits, no insurance, any driver can participate. Faster and more frequent service than anything I've experienced back home in North America.

Similar systems exist throughout the Third World. God forbid we ever allow something like that in our "developed" countries.
Ah right, I didn't see the global share option. Let's see how it fares.
I see these mentioned a lot, and sci-fi is big on the latter. The one I rarely see come up is "entertainment."

If we were traveling amongst the stars today, with our values and morality as they currently are, and happened upon a world of what we'd consider to be primitive life, we'd probably scoop some up and put them in a zoo, or broadcast them on TV. We'd want to study them, learn what makes them tick, maybe try to see if communication was possible, but in the end, we'd get entertainment value from them.

Even if we left them be and studied from a distance, the human race would be fascinated. New life! A new place! We like new things. The news would cover these creatures ("Are they a threat to humanity? News at 11."), they'd be woven into stories and shows and movies in one form or another. If we could safely bring them back, people would want to see them in person.

We'd get a lot of entertainment value out of these new creatures. We're a curious race who manages to get bored of spectacular things quickly, which is a large reason we continue to innovate and push forward.

There's no way to know for sure what would motive another intelligent race to advance to the point where they'd reach for the stars, but if any of them shared a degree of curiosity, I doubt they'd pass us up if they found us. We'd be something new for them.

Maybe we'd end up in their stories, their drawings, their videos, or even their zoos. Maybe they'd be interested in how we smell, or the way we dress and decorate ourselves, or the things that we watch on TV. Our languages, our fights, our culture. Or maybe just the way we go about our business, missing some big cosmological truth that's so obvious to them, as if we're adorable little children.

Maybe we'd provide just enough entertainment value to be worth a quick trip. Or a long stay.

I'm not sure you can draw the conclusion that since there is one intelligent (as defined above) species, out of many on earth, that intelligence is unlikely to develop.

The main issue I see is that there were other species that were close to as intelligent us, but we out competed them and they went extinct.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was a sort of "first one wins" effect where the first species to reach a certain level of intelligence quickly (compared to the time it takes to evolve that level of intelligence) comes to dominate the planet wide eco-system on a level far beyond every other species, thus preventing the development of other intelligent species.

I don't see how getting rid of the ME helps. If you don't trust Intel then you don't trust Intel. They can backdoor the main CPU as easily as they can backdoor the ME. The only true solution is an Open Source Hardware CPU, and some means of verifying that the hardware matches the HDL.

There are already Open Source CPU designs, but the verification is more difficult. Even if you use a big enough process node that you can decap it and inspect it optically (eg. using similar techniques as used with http://visual6502.org/ ), there is still the possibility of dopant-level backdoors which are much harder to detect:

The first movie that I think plays around with the idea of a Great Filter (not quite; but close) is The Forbidden Planet, a 1950s scifi. The basic idea without spoiling it is that enhancing their own intelligence also made powerful their lizard brain of sorts. I assume freudian psychoanalysis was big in the 50s so they called it the ID in the film.
