This is not a "giant flip." We told Chris and everyone else both in person and publicly that they were free to use these libraries in their apps so long as they were otherwise complying with the GPL. You can even see my response to that exact comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11727870

Even though we had given explicit permission for Chris and others to use this code in their OSS apps, people like you -- who wish to see conspiracy in every choice we make -- continued to paint it as some kind of cold calculated move to prevent OSS apps from using our software (for what reason is beyond me). So we worked with a lawyer on this solution.

And now, what? This is part of the conspiracy too. Great.

Automatic parallelisation is a bad idea because the overhead caused by synchronisation is bigger than the gain. It's also a bad idea to take away control from the programmer. What if every compiler did automatic parallelisation differently? Then you'd have impossible to fix performance problems.

EDIT: sorry sent too early

...what changes is the "residual advantage". Until some time ago we assumed machines would only replace people in simple tasks (e.g. mill). Than only repetitive, "mechanic" tasks (i.e. assembly line). Now we realize they can replace in tasks which require some intelligence (i.e. self driving cars) but still assume they won't replace us in some "smarter" jobs.
It looks to me like each step is just incremental, I don't see the "tipping" point.
Because now through technology the compression rate will be enormous. How many new jobs do you think will be created when those 3.5m trucker jobs are automated? Probably some small fraction.

And now the main thing to keep in mind that this will happening across work domains and technologies. A truck driver can't go on and switch career to a factory worker because those jobs are gone too!

In the future more and more of these laboros grunt jobs will become automated. Just a while ago there was news how Foxconn cut 60k jobs at a single factory through automation.

And this is the right way to go. Why should any human or sentient being be forced to work a boring mundane job in some factory when machines can do it? The only goal for the human race as a whole should be the liberation of people from back breaking labor. The only question is now, how will our societies react to this forthcoming change in the system. One way or another this change will come and if we're not prepared it will turn into dystopia everywhere with masses of the people sidelined out of jobs which means without means to support themselves or their families. Crime, poverty and massive slum cities are the only way this can turn out. Not to mention that since the consumer base is gone the whole world economy will simply collapse.

But what if these wants and needs include contributing to society but there are not enough opportunities to do so?

While many people do jobs out of necessity, they also get an amount of satisfaction out of doing something with a purpose.

The other issue is tactical air support. Bombers make sense if you are talking about a preplanned target up to 12 hours, or whatever, in advance. If you have to plan an airstrike 12 hours ahead, and you're on the ground getting beat up right now it turns into a big problem.

Certainly cynical, but not necessarily a wrong interpretation.

> But let's not pretend we're being given a choice about this driverless car thing.

We will not have a choice on whether automation cost are much cheaper than human driving, indeed — but we have two choices:

- should we tax automation? if yes, should it be so that humans remain cheaper (probably a terrible idea) or enough to have enough to help recently out-of-work workers to re-train?

- what should do with recently out-of-work workers? In the case of drivers, that is less essential than it would seem, as many are ageing and retirement is a possible option. (Hence my intuition that Unions are not that worried, and this could be puff for automation.) However, there are two generations who have been trained for a labor-intensive world that will need re-training. What and how we handle that is important, and it is our choice.
Well, that is how we quickly go to the argument of "Lets replace the complicated social security system with basic livable wage being handed out to ever-one." comoonlz known as universal basic income.

If one looks at it from economic-theory or game-theory perspective it sounds like a solution to many problems, nobody knows yet if that would work in practice though, especially on large scale.

As far as I know, open questions that remain are:

- Will we be able to afford it? Sort of back-of-the-napkin calculations can show, that if we introduced i.e UBI in Germany for everybody (80 mil) on a level of minimum wage (1473 E ?), it would eat their federal budget for Ministry of Health and Social Security and Ministry of Economics and Labour

- What would be the unintended consequences? (i.e on small scale uneployment rose by single digits, but we can't really tell what will happen on country scale)
It is interesting how different fields have different terms for statistics concepts. Statistics really should be taught at the high school level, it is far more useful than for instance calculus. I hadn't heard those terms before. In particle physics we have the "look-elsewhere effect" as a synonym for fishing, and discuss local vs global p-values (which might be similar to researcher degrees of freedom).

Nation focusing on social nenefits, leisure time, innovation and freedom could be as economically and technically advanced as other nation focusing solely on full employment.

But they will be substantially different when facing difficult realities of war: those benefits as well may be cut and those people should go to factories, computers, fields, whatever occupation current war needs.

How do you explain a whole generation of people that their allowance will not be paid? How do you tell them that their occupation will be unpleasant? How do you train millions of people discipline, relevant skills, command-and-control?

No major nation wants to lose next war, so we are locked in full employment race.

There's clearly value because lots of people use it. You don't need any technical breakthroughs to create value. Possibly to monetize it but not to create it.

Btw. the underlying technology is pretty cool imo but that's besides the point. I mean they had what 30 engineers when they were bought (for about 500 million users)? Erlang yay.

This is so wrong. The only thing that isn't user-encrypted so far is the iPhone backup on their server (Of course it is encrypted but Apple have the key to decrypt it as needed).

The official explanation so far is that if the user forgot the password a user-encrypted backup would just become some useless junk.

This is (officially) the sole remaining non user-encrypted personal data on apple server that authority can reclaim using a warrant.

However after San Bernardino FBI mess, Apple start considering to also encrypt iCloud backup.

> Well typed doesn't even tell you whether a program terminates or not and on what inputs.

On the contrary, knowing that a piece of lambda calculus can be simply typed tells me for certain that the program halts for all inputs.

If you demand it work for arbitrary programs, then sure, well typed doesn't "even" tell you that. But no procedure can "even" tell you that (including, probably, anything that can be done by our brains), so it's a rather odd choice as a low-bar.

The problem is that our society typically thinks of "jobs" as "contributing to society". Hence, there is a stigma against being unemployed. Furthermore, the more hours you work a week the more "respectable" you typically seem, especially in North America (I believe, in contrast to Europe). We need to realign our thinking to better accommodate the impending reduction in jobs.

If you want to replace carriers, you need to look at each role they're playing and see what works to fill that role.

Air-to-air: Fighters based half a world away don't do much good if you need someone to shoot enemy planes down right now. Carriers are still useful for this in many situations.

Air-to-sea: I think this is where the article makes its best point as missiles and smaller craft make it much harder to keep these safe.

Air-to-ground (strategic): Land based bombers and drones work as well or better if you have your targets planned out 12-hours in advance. Putting a carrier there in this case may be a waste of resources.

Air-to-ground (tactical): Having this awesome air force half a world away is kind of useless when you're getting beat up on the ground right now. Drones may be able to take up the slack on this, depending on what the enemy has to counter it, but carriers are still good for this role.

So basically, if you are unchallenged at sea, but have to fight against an enemy with aircraft nearby, like Iraq, or you need air support because you're fighting someone who is able to do alot of hit and run tactics, like Afghanistan, then carriers are useful. If you're fighting against another country with a huge navy, or you have some place with a friendly airbase nearby that's relatively safe, you might not need them.

Considering the types of wars we've been fighting lately in the U.S., we can probably do with fewer carriers, but still need a fair number.

I actually work as an engineer/designer for a small business based in Queensland who build ploughs, including non-inversion deep rippers (somewhat in competition with Yeoman). We have in the last ~8 months sold a heap of rippers into WA in partnership with a local manufacturer, targeting clay pan breakup, pH remediation, etc. with a lot of success. It's interesting the way deep tillage and other mechanical soil management ideas are experiencing something of a renaissance out west at the moment.

Quantum 1, classical 0: Bell nonlocality universally confirmed
Apple backed themselves into a corner by marketing themselves as the super-privacy company in contrast to Google. The problem is that all the data collection lets you do some really useful stuff that benefits the user. So now they're spreading FUD while trying to pretend that they're not collecting the same type of data that Google does. Google has been using differential privacy for a while in different projects.
Automation of human labor is the single biggest cause of prosperity. Its not a new process and robotics isn't doing anything radically different.

Nor will the supply of jobs dry up because of automation. There will continue to be a demand for what humans can do and a supply of humans that want to work. As long as prices are allowed to adjust so that supply and demand tend to equalize, there will be a labor market.

The real problem is interference in this marketplace, interference in people's ability to sell their labor.

Hehehe I think you assume I am American. I don't really like the American experience either for many of the reasons you state. I come from Norway, so we have a all together different system. Like Germany we can't afford to have bag packers and such. However we solve the problem different from Lidl and Aldi. Usually there is a collector behind the conveyer belt, which has two different areas where it can send your stuff. Thus two shoppers can collect their items at the same time. That means you don't have to hurry to pack you stuff before it falls off the conveyor belt like Lidl.

Another common way in Norway is to simply let people scan all the goods themselves while they are shopping. Then you don't need a conveyor belt and cashier at all.

Norwegian grocery stores are also usually quite plain, but not as insanely cheap looking as Lidl and Aldi.

I think it's a shame to teach kids to program on a platform as closed as iOS.

A 12 year old I know wrote an app as a birthday gift for his grandfather who lived overseas. The app was simple and displayed the grandfather's age with various different effects. Unfortunately, he wrote the app for iOS and so there was no easy way to deliver the app to grandfather (the family tried to submit it to the app store but it was rejected).

At least Swift Playgrounds allows kids to share with one another. Just don't try to leave the playground.

So you're saying that people should do busywork now, just in case we need to go to the factories to support tomorrow's war?
