Sort of a dreary view of the future - companies that provide anti-drone defense, gunshot localization as a service, and big-brotherish monitoring of worker efficiency (in sales).
Many programs dont work with gccgo though.
That's mostly true, but the speed programmers write programs depends how bulletproof they have to be. There have been times that if you include the debugging and maintainability difficulty, proving things to my compiler would be a step forward for me. There's probably a sweet spot.
Uber has taken $12B of capital, broken the regulatory regimes and opened the drive-for-hire markets, marketed the benefits of drive-for-hire and ride-sharing to drivers and consumers, and helped drivers finance vehicles – but now there seems to be no barrier to entry for any competing service except writing an app. I'm happy to let VCs pay for my comfortable daily ride to work but I don't see how this is sustainable...

Companies that want to remain in ownership control of property after they have sold it can't use GPLv3 licensed software, that is true. They could lease out the hardware to achieve the same effect, but for some reason some companies prefer to disguise the lease as a sale.

I use iTerm2 and for some reason couldn't upgrade it to 3.x on previous mac os version. The bug ticket on MacPorts even said that I need to have El-Capitan before updating. (But that might simply be a problem within mac-ports).

Only upgraded yesterday. Don't find anything that different. Screens (at least iTerm) seem to fade in and out faster. Also if you move your mouse in a circle consistently the cursor will become bigger. Presumably to help detect it on big screens.

The official post-update "show-off" was talking about updated FaceTime, Messages, iPhoto and a bunch of other programs I never use.

Being able to install a UNIX-type operating system on my personal computer, one that was free, was a life-changing experience for me.

At the time there were prohibitively expensive UNIX operating systems on the market, many of which required even more expensive proprietary hardware to run on, and then you'd have to fork out even more money for a compiler.

An enormous thanks to Linus and the GNU team for changing all of that and making this accessible to pretty much anyone crazy enough to try and install it on their computer.
I thought communism disavowed ownership
> That is literally the functor.

That would be an answer for Haskell (though a proper one would refer to fmap), but it does not work like that in OCaml. You do know some OCaml, right?

But if it's so obvious, then you can say how it works for the following concrete example:

module type S = sig
type t
val f: t -> int
end

module F = functor (X: S) -> struct
type s = X.t * X.t
let g x = X.f x + X.f x
end

module A : S = struct
type t = float
let f x = int_of_float x
end

module B : S = struct
type t = int
let f x = 2*x
end

module X = F(A)
module Y = F(B)

How do I get from X to Y by "literally the functor"?

The point is: In the ML module system there is no equivalent to fmap: (A -> B) -> (F A -> F B), i.e. the functor action on morphisms. So, functors in Haskell and OCaml are different things. If you want to claim otherwise, you'll have to make an actual argument for it.

> It explicitly talks about how they've accomplished a lot of this without violating their users' privacy.

My question are: A. who is violating user's privacy, B. How is Apple any different[1] from them, besides proclaiming they aren't violating privacy?

1. Some data is collected from the device and sent to a server for processing. Until Apple does something truly radical (like 100% encrypted information that is processing on-device), they are just like every other company that opens up user's data to 'ex-filtration' by third parties.

"If they were serious, they'd provide objective evidence for their claims."

I disagree - they are not making any claims that they care to be validated. They don't care to be 'known as #1' in whatever field. We can believe what we want as far as they are concerned.

'If they are serious' - they will make this technology work to make better experiences for end consumers.

'The proof is in the pudding' - so to speak.

I for one don't doubt that their AI 'increased the intelligence of Siri'. But I also don't care about Siri and find it basically useless. AI has different kinds of impacts in different domains. If they make better experiences for us - all the power to them. If not, then not ...

> The stars will still rotate around the north-south axis, and east-west still won't affect that. It's not obvious that both phenomena should be called "poles".

Note that "north - south" poles already refers to two distinct phenomena, the axis of rotation and the axis of the magnetic field (these happen to be closely-enough aligned on Earth that the latter has historically been used as a proxy for the former, though this is by no means a universal feature of all planets.) The axis of orientation to the sun, for a tidelocked planet, seems no less plausibly described as "poles".
>It's ludicrous because saying we should decide social policies based on generalizations of groups of people is a bad idea. Replace women with any group: LGBT, people of color, poor people, foreigners, etc.

We don't let foreigners vote because, generally speaking, their interests are less closely aligned with the best interests of the country compared with citizens. Should we let foreigners vote now?

Certain racial minorities tend to come from poorer backgrounds, so we mandate that they receive certain advantages in hiring and college admissions and so on. Should affirmative action be ended?

Why is it necessarily a bad idea to base social policies on generalizations of groups of people? If the generalizations are correct, why is it automatically bad to take them into account when deciding policy? In what other circumstance is it a good idea to discard correct information when making decisions?

>Society should care about the rights of the individual to freedom and happiness to live their lives: equally, without regard to gender.

We all sacrifice some of our freedoms to make society a better place. Why should society not be allowed to take gender into account when making policies, if gender is actually relevant to the policy?

>You also fail to define successful marriage:

Generally speaking I mean they produce children that become productive members of society.

>To encourage systemic behavior on poorly defined things like this leads to people getting hurt.

Ignoring facts also leads to people getting hurt.

>You keep saying "if x turns out to y" but we don't have such data.

I'm not going to bother getting into specifics because it sounds to me like you wouldn't change your mind even if I provided such data. It sounds to me like you believe it's morally wrong in and of itself to hold men and women to different standards, even if there is good reason to do so.

>I think you'll find that there are actually no hard and fast rules like the ones you say we should consider

You're saying there is no statistical relationship between, say, the amount of casual sex people have and any other statistic that society has an interest in increasing or decreasing?
> The Rectangle > Square problem does not happen because the programmer is not able to specify the necessary type constraints, but because she chooses not to.

The rectangle-square problem arises because there's no such thing as a type of rectangles in Go to begin with. Rectangles are mathematical objects, and mathematical objects don't mutate or have a physical identity in computer memory. If you change the width or the height of a rectangle, what you get is a different rectangle.

> The problem is not the types. The errors you get when you violate LSP are not type errors, but logic errors.

This may not be exactly what you are looking for, but check out the Linux 802.11n CSI Tool. A lot of this work is done with the channel state information(CSI) which tells you how a signal propagates from transmitter to receiver and vice versa. Unfortunately, it's hard to get access to this sort of information and there are only drivers for one chipset.

You could browse common hashtags like #tokyo or the location tags of the major neighborhoods, but you're right that this works better when you have a list of destinations or places that you're curious about and would like to see what they're really like.

Well, it's not.

Not sure why everyone thinks these are such business successes. It doesn't take a genius to burn piles of cash.

Yes - those in the field who prefer to publish will not be willing to join Apple. How much of an opportunity cost this is to Apple remains an open question.

Totally agree. I love the Olympics but couldn't bear to watch it on NBC. I went on vacation to the Czech Republic and the coverage was so much better - fewer adverts, actually real-time, and a good cross section of sporting events. My kids loved it, especially the Mongolian wrestling controversy. So sad NBC are looking to blame someone else for their out-dated and over commercialized offering.

Nice article, but in my perception, Apple is way behind in AI vs. Google on mobile. Siri's current speech recognition is still far behind Google on my iPhone. Half of the time it Siri doesn't recognize something but Google recognizes it right way. Apple Maps continues to lag in the following features: biking and public transit and even things like which lane to take on a big interchange. As a result I end up using Google (Now) and Google Maps by default.
"real question is why they avoid the research community so strongly."

I think it's within their DNA.

They are a very secretive company for a lot of historical reasons.

Company culture is what companies are ... they are the social rules built into the organization that are very difficult to change once established.

Apple is within their moral right to do what they are doing. There are different approaches taken by other companies so it's healthy to have that.

If this were weapons systems or cancer cures, I might have a different opinion.

What? There is a choice involved in taking money out of one kind of index fund and putting it into another kind. There isn't one single fucking index fund!

Index funds are capitalist: cut out some of the lazy middle men (who doesn't care whether you win or lose, as long as he gets his cut) and lower the management fee.

Eliminating useless moochers is just as capitalist as it is communist. (All that differs is how "moocher" is defined, and whether force is used, or market choice).
>Personally I have never felt that routine care is acceptable to use too much as it harms the group/work policy.

I've worked for large companies and small ones. Never once has it occurred to me nor would I entertain the idea of not taking full advantage of a benefit that is explicitly provided as part of my compensation package.

I don't necessarily disagree about your broader point of insurance and its connection to jobs, but so long as that's the reality I'm going to work within that reality.

And thus Linus dug a hole out of which Linux has only recently begun to clamber.
There is quite a bit of work on this topic in Databases, and stream processing is one of the primary use cases they identified (in particular, if you can put the FPGA device between the network and the CPU, it works out quite well). This is one of the early papers:

Everyone has a WiFi router in their home. Webcams give you great data in a particular frame, but laptops aren't always open, they move around, they only look in one direction at a time.

WiFi routers just look like passive boxes. Heck, in an unfamiliar house you might have to go on an expedition to even find the thing, and a router shoved behind a cabinet can track you too.
Looks limiting.
Isn't it not that we have such a core, but that the core MOVES that creates it? If so, I can imagine the Moon playing a role in that.

That said "I can imagine" isn't terribly good science. Articles like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamo_theory don't make mention any role of the Moon, and googling around drowned out the actual question by talking about how the Moon might have once had a magnetosphere, along with articles about how smaller planets might be able to.

Okay and then one of the 13 other startups doing this suddenly become able to undercut Uber because they have VCs who are willing to gouge the actual balance sheet in order to put Uber out of business.

Crucially, Uber doesn't own the cars nor the drivers. Anyone willing to throw more cash to drivers and take less cash from riders (with the infusion of VC funding) can instantly steal both the supply and the demand from Uber.

Curious about your take on iCloud sync. Is that from a developer perspective (I remember the API initially sucked) or user perspective? I've never implemented iCloud sync in an app but at least with Apple's apps it works perfectly for me. I moved thousands of notes from Evernote to Notes which I use daily, I use calendars/contacts, I use Reading List, the credit card and password sync for Safari works really well. In the past there were definitely problems but I haven't come across any in quite a long time.
I love all the parentheses (including nested parentheses!) in that introduction post from Linus, and how he's careful to make it clear that it's just a hobby and not professional.
It is definitely unfair that a completely new class of competition is allowed which doesn't have to pay this 150k "medallion" fee. Instead of this 20c fee it would be fair to either reimburse the 150k fee to existing owners of taxis or have uber/lyft pay the same fee. Competition should be fair.

Oh and all the regulation should be the same for taxi vs ridesharing like insurance requirements (commercial insurance is much higher which taxis are required to carry) and inspection requirements etc.

I was hoping it'd be an inline `// yeah I know doing +1 looks wrong but it's because` --> automatic transcribing over to a sidebar but I don't know what's actually happening.

What does:

> Imports modules automatically from NPM or GitHub

mean? Does it mean "import" in the sense that you don't have to write the import statement, or in the `npm install` sense? What happens if I misspell a package name and there is a malicious package under that name? Will it auto install and auto run the post install scripts??
No they won't face a steeper uphill battle. They'll have a much easier time: legislation will be clearer, drivers will already be driving for uber so installing another app is trivial, riders will already be familiar with app-hailed rides and so installing another app is trivial.
