This is really cool, I'm surprised at how many variations you have of some of these components.

One thing I noticed, your before/after confused me about which side was before/after, I would suggest switching the panels so that after is on the same side as the after button.
He means the quality is so bad that users of it could get owned by full, remote execution on a regular basis. That some people saw some flaws didn't mean anything. There were some alternatives, including commercial, where people put extra effort into checking how crypto interfaced or the quality of the code. Some even used static analysis to find common flaws. As I say, the difference in 0-days between them and OpenSSL is the effort that was put into the quality rather than how open they are.

A closed development with good effort is more trustworthy than an open one with low effort or review. One exception being subversion where open-source can spot most idiotic backdoors. Less likely to catch good, obfuscated ones. From there, an open development with strong effort and review is more trustworthy than a similar, close one. Amount of effort and quality of review are only consistent indicators.
I can't speak for the user you replied to but I can speak for myself: they stopped making good devices. I had a lumia 920, then I upgraded to the 930 which I still consider one of the best phones I've ever had, for its time. Then MS just... stopped. Took them forever to come out with the 950 and it was nowhere near competitive both in hardware quality and design with the ios and android competition. That was the last. Everything was awesome until after the 930 they simply stopped coming out with competitive devices for me.

Roughly at the time the 950 came out I switched to androidland. This year I wanted my upgrade to be the iphone but when the rumours about the lack of headphone port became undeniable I ended up by upgrading into a new android phone, which I'm using right now.

All of this sucks because there's absolutely nothing that comes close to the fantastic design and usability patterns of windows phone.
How could parking "only the wings" for charging be significantly cheaper than parking the whole plane? In the unlikely case of superbattery airliners, infrastructure and logistics would change as much as the planes.
This is an important discussion, but nobody seems to be asking the question - what is the end goal here for either side?

Lets take the extremes as a beginning..

1. Lets assume every action a person takes is logged. That means every keystroke, cough, heartbeat, meal, path taken etc... for everyone on the planet is tracked somewhere in some system.

2. On the flip side lets say that nothing is logged and we stop using systems that track our behavior altogether.

- What are the costs and benefits to either extreme and where would the people of the future prefer to lie on that extreme? Is there a realistic middle ground?

If the question is about informed consent then I am afraid it's a losing battle. Consumers do not understand even the basic externalities of different behaviors - and even if you printed them on the label it would mostly be noise. So to expect that people will understand all possible negative externalities with sharing data is a bridge too far.

I personally think that more accurate lifestyle data, provided by users to Machine systems, with the purpose of affecting behaviors, based on stated and revealed preferences of the users would be the best long term outcome. Offloading decision making to a machine is the best decision we will ever make as a species - and that requires a lot of training data and other data to optimize.

Otherwise we might as well just go back to everyone being a farmer.

That's a very classical approach to scifi, like those Larry Niven stories (Neutron Star etc) where a lone hero man with no friends, but a spaceship, defeats a high school physics class problem. It turns out reading only books about lone men with no friends doesn't prepare you for real life.

Maybe, but that seems to assume effectively no genetic material from the parents.

What if the design starts with the parents' DNA, but makes one change to prevent a disease? Seems like that parent wouldn't be adopting a genetic orphan, and would have the right to take the newborn home. What about two changes? 50? It's one of those "where do we draw the line?" issues.

In order for a solution to be successful it must be good at first place. FirefoxOS wasn't good at first place no matter how open it was.
And for that reason, it's worth recognizing how much work ahead there is for the web platform to be capable of delivering full OS experience.

Only now, pieces of the HTML/DOM/JS spec that have been kickstarted out of need when FxOS was being developed start landing in the spec.

Whoever will try next, will have an easier job because of the FxOS experience.

That is a form of "mastery-based" learning. Basically, you group students according to ability and separately teach them each topic to the point of mastery before moving onto the next topic.

The guy from the Khan academy talks about that (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnVzug0mA2w), although he suggests going even further-- individualizing each student.

BTW, this is how the children of very wealthy parents often get to elite colleges in quite high numbers. The parents send them to private schools where student-teacher ratios can be as low as 5 (FIVE!). Under those circumstances, each student can get tracked very accurately according to their needs and aptitudes. It is a great way to learn, it works, but is also very expensive.

2) "Yes, but based on your math grades you'll probably spend several times as much time studying as your peers"

I avoid FB more out of principle, not because of some deluded idea that I can avoid FB having my information. The solution "stop using Facebook and WhatsApp and other software" is harmful at worst and flippant at best.

Unless you never get your photo taken, your face is on FB and any other social media service your friends and family use. Unless you only have friends and family who never use FB, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, etc., your name, phone number, and email are on those services.

The idea that not using these services stops them from getting your information is fanciful, because your friends and family have no problem giving your information.

Folks, everyone in the world who can get their hands on an illumina sequencer is developing these "30 gene", "400 gene", "N gene" tests, liquid biopsies, blah, blah, blah.

Memorial Sloan Kettering, Foundation One, Broad Institute, Venter are the biggest data-gatherers I'm aware of right now, with the DoD starting to get in the game.

The default now is that no one uses Metafont, so it doesn't really matter what it outputs. AFAIK, (almost) no one outputs dvi files, or uses whatever the old font choosing mechanism was, either. The Computer Modern fonts are still pretty commonly used, and probably look somewhat dated, but it's not that difficult to use other fonts, especially if you choose a TeX variant like XeTeX.

I think Metafont tried to address a lot of things that were really only interesting to type designers, who turn out to be largely allergic to designing fonts in a text editor. Some of the ideas were revisited in the Adobe Multiple Master fonts, now extinct, and I believe there's a new version of (fonts with axes in addition to size).
Why do think any of those labels are critically important? They are entirely derived from human desire to understand, process, and define a taxonomy for language. There is absolutely no reason to think that they are inherently necessary to achieve the goal or high fidelity translation (or anything else in this domain). Similarly they might be meaningful but inferred naturally through the learning process.

If your goal is to map machine learning processes to established dogma, this makes sense; if it is just to build an effective learning machine that solves an extant problem, then it's not.

"Edge’s just haven’t been found yet."

Haven't been introduced and haven't been found. It's both. Microsoft's SDL has dramatically reduced number of 0-days in their products. I speculate that eliminating many common vulnerability classes also eliminates a lot of the low-hanging fruit that's easiest to spot in the binaries by reverse engineers. They have potential to raise the security even higher if they apply MS Research's tools like VCC or Dafny. I don't even know what Edge is written in, though.

> 100000 liters

That works out to approximately 1GWh. At $0.10/KWh divided by two because of worse efficiency, that's $50,000 worth of electricity.

So the electricity at $50k costs more than the $40k for gasoline. (Or about the same depending on the exact price.)

The bigger issue is a 90 minute recharge of .5GWh would require 333MW of power, which about half the total output of a typical power plant. i.e. not a chance in the world of that happening.

Can you imagine just grabbing the power lines on a typical power plant and plugging them in here and there?

Nematus (https://github.com/rsennrich/nematus), which takes a similar approach to this paper, gives:

"If you look at Ursula von der Leyen and Jean-Yves Le Drian before the meeting of defence ministers in Bratislava, you could never have liked to have liked Berlin and Paris."

which is still doesn't convey the true meaning of something like: "you might think Berlin and Paris had never liked each other more."

However, the second sentence comes out as:

"Individual states cannot prevent this: The European Council can adopt the SSC by a qualified majority."

which is significantly better than Google translate.

I think statements like these brush off problems of learning difficulty as something to be surmounted with good pedagogy; incremental pain for incremental gain.

But when you run a youth pedagogical program of any sort, you can see that the consequences of speed or intelligence aren't things you simply overcome with a great teacher and applied effort. You can see that the consequences of both fast and slow accumulates for years.

The consequence of slow is that by the time you are 18 or whatever, you have learned fewer things. Sometimes the consequence of slow is that you simply don't even do X because of a rational consideration of opportunity cost.

In the race of money and life, almost all tortoises and hares in our society feel the bite of debt and financial worry. It is meh strategy for the tortoise to hope that hares are lazy and arrogant.

I don't understand if you like Windows Phone so much why didn't you get a phone with on-screen buttons? I have a Microsoft Lumia 640 and with the buttons on the screen, you can swipe up and hide the button bar, so it doesn't get in the way.

I'm actually trying to get rid of it and move because Window Phone 10's UX is a mess. Nothing makes sense, and apparently most developers don't have a clue about UX in the WP10 ecosystem.

For example, the native app to watch video, doesn't have a control to swipe and fast-forward. Wut? So you have to actually click on the length bar to get to the minute you want. That's like UX 101. And it's like this with so many apps...
On every Android phone I've used, you can always disable the carrier-provided apps, so they won't show up in your app tray, or run any processes. iOS doesn't pre-install it, and I've no idea what Windows Phone does.
