But, it's not hard to see how this functionality can be extrapolated: One day you ask Alexa for items off Amazon and a drone drops them off on your doorstep.

Think about all the pieces involved in that: The hardware and software design of Echo/Alexa, Amazon's distribution network built out over years, FAA lobbying to get the drone flying.

If that doesn't impress you, nothing will.
Did you become popular, or were people just scared of you at that point?
These two vehicles would not be compared if they were ICE vehicles. Just not the same class. Model 3 is aiming towards the luxury market and the Bolt is the mid level economy car that looks hilarious.

The BMW i3 is more of a Bolt competitor than the Model 3.

I'm not sure if it's something that varies heavily by country, but I just switched back from Apple Music to Spotify and couldn't be happier.

So many artists that I like were missing albums or songs on Apple Music for some reason. One group that I particularly like was missing over 3/4 of their music at Apple. All available in iTunes of course, but I don't feel like paying for individual songs on top my subscriptions. Worth noting that I'm in Canada and I'm talking about mostly Electronic, Metal, and Jazz tracks.
This diagram is also in poster form: http://tcm.computerhistory.org/Timeline/25YearsMicroprocesso...

I would quibble about a few things. It shows an architectural relationship between the 4004 and 8008, which isn't the case. It shows the almost-unknown TMC 1795, but doesn't show its architectural relation with the 8008. It shows the TMS 0100 and TMS 1000 microcontrollers but not other microcontrollers. Lots of early microprocessors are omitted, giving the impression that not much was happening back then. The lack of ARM1 is disappointing; it shows ARM starting with ARM6. But overall a very interesting diagram.

In addition, history is long and tech grows fast. I imagine at some future point and well within our lifetimes it will be trivial to infer our political attitudes and assign semi-anonymous screen names to real persons just by scrapping the web of 2016. Especially since absolute certainty of guilt is not the highest priority in these cases.

And since there's very real possibility of having a lunatic at the helm of government at some point, yes, one had better speak up now.

It takes a certain amount of street smarts...

Throwing some more anecdata on the pile.

Where I (primarily) grew up, gangs weren't really a thing and most kids were middle-class and a bit of goody-two shoes. The bullies mostly bullied because of social cliques and it's what media tells kids that "popular kids" do. Find me a Disney high-school show targeted at tweens and teens where the popular/rich kids aren't bullying the nerdy/poor/"the new kid".

With kids like that - reacting with violence gets the bullying to stop. It wasn't "witty comebacks" or being ignored like the victim would do on TV. There was actual retaliation to their actions and the cause->effect was dead obvious. They don't want to be hit again, they aren't fighters, so they stopped bullying.

As a kid I moved around a lot - so I also grew up in areas where there were actual gangs. They bullied for completely different reasons. If you messed with the wrong clique, you'd have 8-12 people jump you on the way home. If you got bullied, you put up with it. Adults weren't going to help - because even the adults were scared of the gangs. You ignored it and hoped they would find someone else to bully after getting bored of you. If you retaliated with violence it would be almost certain you'd wake up in a hospital, like you said.

Ask yourself if learning a proprietary language from a company past its prime is the best thing to learn with the time you will spend.

There is plenty of talk about progressive web apps, and how engagement is massively boosted by not forcing an app install on a potential user before they have mental buy in into what you have on offer.

And swift on a server? Just no. Remember Cold Fusion?

Learn Python. Learn Haskell. Learn F#. Hell.. learn Java (disclaimer: I'm not aware of what your current skills are)... But Swift.. worth a quick look and a peering into its syntactic sugar, to be used only when absolutely needed - I.e. you get 100k to develop an Apple Watch app.
The gaps look pretty huge to me. I live around DC and have done trips to Ohio, Montreal by way of upstate New York, and south Florida, and all would require detours to accomplish with SAE Combo chargers. I'm pondering a trip to western Wisconsin this winter and that just wouldn't work at all, with nothing west of Madison. Coverage is pretty good in some places, but awful in others.

And then you also have to consider availability. Non-Tesla stations tend to be installed in ones or twos and are often not well maintained. You can't really rely on any single station, because it could very well be blocked or broken. Tesla stations are usually installed in 6s or 8s, which means they're unlikely to be blocked and have some redundancy against failures, and Tesla acts quickly to fix any problems.

Finally, the speed difference is pretty huge. SAE Combo may theoretically offer speeds similar to Superchargers, but in practice it's far worse. Chevy is advertising the ability to add 90 miles in 30 minutes. That's about half of what you get from Superchargers. It's still totally doable, but it you'd spend a lot more time charging.

And Tesla can't really lose the game. They already have an adapter for CHAdeMO stations, and an SAE combo adapter would not be hard for them to make. I'm confident we'll see such an adapter for sale in the next year or two. The worst case for Tesla is that other cars come up to parity here, and even then there's no sign of that happening any time soon.
I'm in the UK, we've got Chademo and SAE at every motorway service station. The UK is small, it kind of helps.

The ad-hoc instant intercom is also a HUGE win. In the 50s and 60s, all the fancy houses on TV had an intercom (didn't the Brady Bunch?). The intercom seemed to just fade away.

However, I would MUCH rather say "Alexia, tell upstairs that 'its time for dinner'", and it to be replayed upstairs. Rather than walking into the next room and yelling up the stairs like a neanderthal.
Agreed. Hatchbacks (and wagons, although they are harder to make sporty/fun) give you cargo room rivaling smaller SUVs in a lighter platform. It's common for the back seats to fold flat which is helpful for odd-shaped or bulky items.

While larger SUVs, crossovers or even sedans might have more total cargo volume, they may be narrow in a certain dimension (why I hate trunks vs. 5th doors) or just are much deeper. Usually you don't use all that space, and you end up carting around all that extra vehicle weight. If you need that spaces less than a few times a year, you're better off renting a large vehicle for those jobs or trips.

I also like how the wheels tend to the corners on hatches, it gives them great driving dynamics and still leaves a lot of room for legs and shoulders for 4 adults.
Not yet, there's been a lot of progress in the past 6 months but unless more people get involved with the port work it's probably going to be another year at least before it's actually usable.

Some of the "other code" may not depend on the dependency. I think the word dependency may have been confusing in my statement.

Await doesn't actually block the entire app (or JS thread) like synchronous code does. It schedules the code that follows after an await in the same file or in an async function to run later. You probably already understand this, but my point is that other code outside of this context is free to continue running.

If you signed a petition in Thailand, and it had anything to do with the royal family, then you would be arrested and imprisoned under the lese majeste laws. If you signed a petition in North Korea or Syria, you would be tortured and killed.

Be thankful that you can exercise your right to sign this petition in the US, and the only thing you might need to worry about is increased scrutiny from the IRS.

It's clearly not straightforward, because both a police officer and a large number of people on this thread disagree with you. Simply stating that your opinion is straightforwardly correct is not an argument.

Yeah, the story looks to be quite different in Europe in general. SAE should be very good for long-distance travel there. Here in the US, coverage is extremely spotty, with dense coverage in some areas but zero coverage in many others, including a lot of pretty busy corridors.

I think that I have read everything pre-Orthogonal trilogy. (Nothing against the Orthogonal trilogy; I just haven't got to it yet.)

I seriously doubt that Singapore is even in the top ten for personal liberty, much less #2. I have heard good things about their economic policies though.
Basically, yes. Also, the evidence shows that he didn't one day "see something wrong and decided to report it" as the narrative claims. He quit a job on one contract to take another job (which he lied about his experience to get) and then stole information from there before releasing it all roughly 6 months after he was hired. Some reports I have seen estimate that roughly 90% of the information he released was from while he was working at Dell (the previous job) on a DoD contract (I was still DoD at the time so it was of "interest" to us what he released). Additionally, there are 0 records of him trying to report it through any channel and he has said in some interviews that he chose to go public "rather than" report it because he thought nothing would be done. By the way, contrary to the narrative, he didn't have one or two channels that ignored him (had he used them), he could have actually gone to any Senator or Representative with the information and still been protected (probably moreso since Congress would have been behind him).

Plus, as someone who held a clearance in the DoD (former interrogator), I will say it can be hard (especially for someone like those journalists who never held a clearance) to tell what can directly hurt someone else. Handing off NSA program documents could have potentially put the lives of CIA and NSA agents and sources around the world...but we would never know. Even the families of those people wouldn't know. All they would know is that their family member didn't come home.
> However, the expectation is someone will respond with ~"Thx, in meeting"

If you check your phone in a meeting, and you don't have a family member in the hospital, you're wrong. It's discourteous in the extreme to check a smartphone (or noodle around on a laptop!) when meeting with others.

>The reason you know about the one or two instances of cops being called because a ten year old is walking on their own is because it is rare and hence newsworthy.

People have been convicted of crimes for leaving their 8 year olds "unsupervised" because of busy bodies with cell phones. Not charged, convicted! The reason its rare to hear about a case is because its a socially unacceptable for children to be left alone now. [1] Its a rare thing to do so its a rare thing to get in trouble for doing.

>a child of seven or eight is quite capable of navigating city streets to walk to school, and has been for a very long time.

Absolutely! I sure did when I was a kid! I couldn't imagine being so suffocated by my parents that I wasn't allowed to be away from them to walk to the corner store by myself or ride my bike to the park. My dad sent me to the hardware store on my bike to buy propane, nobody batted an eye. Now if an unaccompanied 10 year old showed up trying to buy propane the parents would be arrested. This is madness, I agree, but the "protect the kids" mantra is terrible, but it is also the reality.

Depending on your definition of "outside the physical world," it's at best untestable. You can explain consciousness by saying it comes from a massless, noninteracting, odorless, tasteless... etc. but that explanation doesn't really help. So far, lots of other things that were previously explained by non-physical whims of God have had at least partially reductive explanations in science; a lot of people hope that consciousness will yield the same. It still may be possible that consciousness is a spiritual phenomenon, but with no way to test, prove, or expand on that, scientists would rather not close the book there.
There are already incredibly good micro StarCraft AI, able to operate at thousands of APM - this isn't the limiting aspect of current StarCraft AI.

The "Hard" part of StarCraft is that it is a huge Rock Paper Scissors game with only the information you fight for. You have to be able to piece together a picture of your opponents actions and forces from small cues.
This is a gross misrepresentation and I hope that this belief isn't more widespread.

The only thing that socialism and naziism had in common was the idea of an economy that will make a group of people better off, (which is pretty much the idea behind every economic model in history), but naziism is based on the idea of a "superior race", which is inherently better than the rest of the population and thus is entitled to the slave labour of the other, lesser races.

Socialism is pretty much the exact opposite, it's about people having equal access to basic set of utilities and services and about large enterprises sharing a proportional amount of its profits with its workers, it has nothing to do with race, in fact it makes things like race, sex etc. not be a factor in entitlement to these things.

Hitler hated the idea of socialism, (as well as communism) and actively prosecuted socialists in Germany, a chunk of which then escaped to Czechoslovakia, which was part of his reason for invading it, same for the Soviet Union.
This looks really neat!

Dubai and Istanbul airports weren't in the top 30 by traffic until 2007, and they're now at 3rd and 11th biggest in the world. Those places are well-located for transfers for people travelling between Europe and Asia.
I wonder how many of these 40M users are like me and are searching for other options. I'm using Spotify because of an intro offer, and my Google Play account exists almost solely for the discount on other content.

Based on my love of Rdio, I'm really hoping Pandora's rumored new streaming service becomes a viable alternative.
I think it still depends, for the flights I have done most often most recently the hub and spoke model is still very efficient. For Europe to Australia you pretty much have to, it's an 8 and 13 hour flight combination, either going through the Middle East (Dubai, Abu Dhabi) or Asia (Singapore, Hong Kong, etc). For these longer flights between big cities, being able to pack more passengers in is still desirable.

>You're right on many points. My observation is, when it comes to deeper Ai that trends towards AGI, the private sector seems lost in terms of the big ideas and applications. The VCs are also lost and have no idea on how to appreciate fundamentally groundbreaking R&D development ventures.

DeepMind was VC funded before Google acquired them. A number of AI/ML startups would like to pursue AGI in the long-term, but why not make revenue along the way? Still, there is at least one startup - Vicarious - focusing purely on long-term research towards AGI that VCs poured plenty of money into, and there are probably others.

When I visited the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, the complete absence of any mention of ARM in their history of microcontrollers was slightly amusing. Lots of Motorola, Intel, etc silicon (including some really nice exhibits of half-made silicon ingots), but no mention of the architecture which has sold over 50 billion units.

I asked at reception and apparently yes, they do get funding from Intel...

Do go visit, though; it's brilliant. Not quite as good as the National Museum of Computing in the UK, which will let you go and play with a lot of the exhibits, and which has a working decatron computer, but it's still well worth a trip.
Nope, not at all.
