Hmmm. We can generate heat and light using electricity, and we can generate electricity using windmills.

The beauty of Twitter Bootstrap is that good get a modern responsive website with less work than rolling your own design, or even having to think about it.
A system called “WiKey” presented at a conference last year could tell what keys a user was pressing on a keyboard by monitoring minute finger movements. Once trained, WiKey could recognize a sentence as it was typed with 93.5 percent accuracy—all using nothing but a commercially available router and some custom code created by the researchers.

Ok that's pretty cool. But incredibly concerning.

The actual abstract of that paper mentions much higher figures for individual keys:

WiKey achieves more than 97.5\% detection rate for detecting the keystroke and 96.4% recognition accuracy for classifying single keys. In real-world experiments, WiKey can recognize keystrokes in a continuously typed sentence with an accuracy of 93.5%.

Regarding the code, its ok although there are some parts that are unnecessarily messy. Here[0], and in other parts you use labels in the middle the function. It is best to do in the outer level form. I like the rlabels of misc-extension[1] when using local functions but I understand most people would prefer not to add 'util' dependencies. Another thing in that function. The (let ((data (or ...)))) is unnecessary. You place the form in the default case of the keyword argument So it would end up looking like:

(defun x-find-color (rgba &key (x 0) (y 0)
(width default-width) (height default-height)
(test #'equal)
(snap-data (x-snapshot :x x :y y :width width :height height)))
...)

Also if not using asdf, the quickload form should be wrapped in an eval-when. It will fail If I Try to compile the file (C-c C-k) on a fresh session.

This are nitpicks, the code is understandable and easy to read. Nice writeup and cool idea!

Regarding "|0", there are absolutely no performance implications. An ASM.js optimising compiler will recognize these code patterns and interpret them completely differently (it will not execute a bit OR operation, and instead will only treat |0 as a type hint)
I'm not familiar with Shen, but, if I recall correctly, its type system is Turing-complete, so it's probably more complicated than I'd be comfortable with.

IMO, the topmost priority in a type system designed for programmers ought to be automation, not expressiveness. Programmers don't spend their time proving deep theorems. Most of what a programmer does is actually fairly boring, but it ought to be done correctly, reliably and within a reasonable time frame.

Sure, there is a lot of historical baggage in microprocessors--the BCD stuff and x86-16 support in general only exist for backwards compatibility (although note that BIOS starts up in x86-16). But the reason that Intel keeps adding instructions is, well, because they're useful.

> - Why do microprocessors not strive for simplicity, implement only a handful of instructions in an optimized way, with a very small chip footprint, to be followed by proliferation of cores (think 256-core, 512-core, 1024-core).

What you're describing is a GPU--revert a core to a basic ALU and make it be 2 dozen 16-wide SIMD ALUs. Not everything can work well on a GPU, though; you need very high parallelizibility, and fairly uniform memory access models. It's why supercomputers switched from SIMD to MIMD models a few decades ago. (They're starting to revert to include more GPU-like cores, mostly for power reasons).
My concerns about surveillance and privacy are all more about the principle than the practical. I really don't care if some murderer can use my wifi to figure out where I'm sitting, but in general I'd prefer that it not be possible to co-opt a router and use it to spy on people.
Hmm, I don't think you're being very charitable. That these programmers can write working programs suggest they sufficiently understand disjunction, conjunction, negation, conditionals and quantification.

Perhaps they have trouble abstracting the semantics from their preferred language and/or syntax, but that doesn't mean they don't grasp their meaning.

It's an artist's fault when someone they didn't make their art for, doesn't like their art?

I mean, I see what you're saying in the "the customer is always right" sense—it's Niantic's problem to solve if the majority of people playing their game want something other than their game.

But suppose Niantic don't care about making billions of dollars from an audience of "everyone", but only intended the game to be interesting to, say, 8-to-14 year olds with lots of time to kill wandering around in their small towns not finding much of anything. I don't think it's valid to criticize Niantic that another audience glommed onto the game that isn't that audience, and then is demanding an experience Niantic didn't intend.

A comparison: there are these cartoons in Japan about little girls being cute. They are marketed to little girls, who are intended to identify with the characters. But for some reason, a lot of grown men watch these shows, although nobody ever marketed the show to them. As you might guess, the grown men want different things from the shows than the intended audience does. And the grown men have a lot more money. But that doesn't mean that the show should change, does it?

Also remember, Pokemon Go is a franchise license. It was likely intended, in part, as a loss-leader marketing experiment for Nintendo to revive the Pokemon brand. Franchise licensees, before anything else, have to serve as good ambassadors for their franchise. Even if that means not making money. To do otherwise is to possibly get your license revoked, and for these franchise-licensed works, the licensed IP is usually 99% of the reason people (both in and out of the intended audience) are paying any attention. Making Pokemon's intended audience want to buy more Pokemon games, isn't necessarily more important a concern to Niantic's businesspeople than making a billion dollars from IAPs is; but it is certainly a more life-or-death concern. It's something that can't be traded away even for great benefit, like regulatory-compliance in a bank, or safety concern in an engineering project.

I think by "emperor's-new-clothes situation" GP is referring to the possibility that companies are paying for advertising based on the notion that it will be targeted using sophisticated metadata on users, but that the metadata is in fact far less sophisticated than touted.

One would think that all significant ad spend by sane companies is made in the context of an empirical study demonstrating the uptick in the relevant metrics caused by (smaller) ad spend. But honestly, I share the suspicions of the GP, that western capitalism in certain areas (e.g. Bro-y advertising) is influenced more by group think and connections and unthinking continuation of established business practices, than by truly objective data-driven decision making.

I studied anthropology as my college minor and the consensus in my classes seemed to be that farming was never really a new discovery that was 'invented.' Rather it seems likely that ancient people had known about the possibility of raising crops for a while but had simply forgone that in favor of less labor intensive hunting and foraging. Later, as the large game that early humans relied on began to die out, we resorted to the much more labor intensive lifestyle of farming.

Some points of evidence include:

1) The advent of farming coincides roughly with the Late Pleistocene Extinction event which saw many of the large game mammals (human prey) die out

2) Bone samples from the era show that the advent of farming coincides with a decline in human height and greater enamel defects showing malnutrition. This is strong evidence that farming was a step down for our early ancestors not a step up.

3) Tribes like the San Bushman and early Australian aborigines knew full well about farming but chose to forgo it because in their region, food was plentiful enough to be hunted and gathered. This is evidence that farming is not necessarily the result of new innovation (people don't instantly and automatically switch to farming just because they know about it).

see:

http://discovermagazine.com/1987/may/02-the-worst-mistake-in...

Based on this it seems like farming was not invented separately in separate places but rather that most early humans were aware of the possibility of farming and that switched to it as conditions deteriorated as a result of climate change at the end of the last ice age.
I don't think their bound is related to nonce-management issues. From the documentation:

> The GCM security limit is 2^56 bytes because:

> This is 2^52 AES blocks (each block is 16 bytes). The limit is based on the risk of birthday collisions being used to rule out plaintext guesses. The probability an attacker could rule out a random guess on a 2^56 byte plaintext is less than 1 in 1 million (roughly (2^52 * 2^52) / 2^128).

I think I'm just being difficult.

My point was that when you call something a double standard, you're arguing two things of equal value have been judged differently under the same standard. But by acknowledging they've been judged differently, you're acknowledging that there is a judgement, a standard, that applies the same to both, and produces the results you object to. What you really object to is the fairness of the qualities checked by the standard.

Since the outcome of calling things that, vs calling them a double standard is the same, I think most people already know and have no trouble with this. My protests were worthless.

It could gain value if there were certain whitelisted judgable aspects (like expected value), and judgements that aren't based on things from the whitelist are considered outside the scope of a standard. Then, calling the standard unfair and calling it a double standard would have a different meaning (if only in some contrived way, since any aspect is just an argument away from the whitelist)
>Apple built a proprietary product using open source technology

You say it as its somehow contradictory. Open Source licences allow (LGPL etc), and some even welcome (BSD, MIT, Apache) creating proprietary software based on open source technologies.

Besides, Apple also did extend open source technologies (as open source) a hell of a lot. Webkit past Apple is 100x bigger/fancier/better than the puny KHTML it started from. Tons of LLVM work, especially all the early stuff, has been sponsored by Apple. Swift was made Open Source just recently...
