Haha, what? Google already thoroughly beat the iPhone: they made Android. This is just a ridiculously overwrought way to say "Google is making a new phone".
Well, in addition to the "insult" (which surely adult conversationists can suffer easily) the quote also included a summarized view of the contents of mrs. Rand's work.
What about frameworks that let you keep main, but require to take over your build system? I admit I'm guilty of one of those as well [1], but only because I don't see a more simple solution in terms of usage.

Meh. Different people are always going to like different games. I remember being at a LAN party where different people would dominate the game depending on the lineage of the game technology--you get used to something, it feels normal, and everything else seems "wrong". I don't feel any need to convince you that you "should" enjoy Marathon any more than you "should" like the same bands I like.
If you try to use multiple Airport routers together without Ethernet you get severely reduced bandwidth. These routers (and other similar products) have multiple radios which allow mesh networking without reducing bandwidth as much. In a large house where running cable isn't an option having a mesh network can solve a lot of issues. In a small apartment a single access point is probably sufficient.

This online book is what inspired me to develop Pythonroom (pythonroom.com) - I wanted shorter curriculum that my younger students could more easily digest, and a cleaner interface for running code with the in-browser implementation of Python. In case someone is interested, our introductory book is freely available at https://pythonroom.com/book/learn.
If you ran an Ethernet cable you probably get a similar experience. Otherwise Airport routers use a single radio for communicating with the other access point and clients. This greatly reduces bandwidth.

Roe v. Wade was still a great start and major victory, relatively speaking. Change takes time.

It's a bit more complicated here, though, since so much of this activity is clandestine. We can't know what rules they may be breaking (unintentionally or otherwise).
For so very close to all of the 20th Century, people really liked cars. The housing stocks dated to at the latest the 1920s. Land prices favored suburbanization. Two cars wasn't really a thing until the 1970s.

Places like New York City had urban blight because of peculiarities in the tax code. You could live in the 1950s and 1960s in NYC in a poor quality apartment cheaply - it wasn't until the 1970s that price started going up. As I've been told, people left larger cities in the '50s a lot because of drugs and because industry was vacating city centers. And there's always white flight.
> There needs to be some forethought into how the new residents are going to get into and out of the city

Build your city in a grid, and adapt. 150 years ago, that forethought would have created good infrastructure for horses. Now, that might not be so much of a concern. As much as possible, people should be free to choose. See also: The High Cost of Free Parking: http://amzn.to/2dRbceN

You made the right decision there. I'll use the software, but I won't recommend it for that reason right there.

My house, built <20 years ago (UK), has something similar. Currently at 4 APs (DD-WRT routers acting as APs, all hardwired to a central router), and still some rooms only get a patchy signal (fortunately we're more than 50ft on all sides from other building, so not too concerning about interference). 5GHz is even worse - for any practical use, it's pretty much limited to a single room per router.
This article is an interactive version of the first part of this paper: Parsing with derivatives - a Functional Pearl - the part that shows how to implement a regular expression matcher in a few lines of code using a concept from 1964 named Brzozowski's derivative.

In this article, we are going to implement a regular expression matcher in clojure using Brzozowski's derivative.

The theoretical part is a bit abstract but it worths making the effort as the implementation is really elegant.
I don't think Google has been bad when it comes to hardware. They are not a hardware company but they try to do interesting things. They were way ahead of the curve with Glass which was technically solid for the time but marketed horribly. They were the first to nudge VR towards mobile/mass adoption with cardboard...an idea that quite frankly I don't think many companies would even think about trying.

I think they have good teams for both AR and VR in place and they are committed to both. With AR they are probably back to wait and see but I doubt they are not thinking about/working on a Glass followup.

This VR google is a direct iteration on cardboard. I think their message is pretty clearly "we think people have cell phones and they ought to be good enough for first gen VR experiences". There's plenty of non-hardware issues to work on when it comes to VR so I sympathize with the position (I did preorder the Sony VR which should arrive soon as I think that's a potential hardware sweetspot).

Pixel I know nothing about and have no opinion about but they have been tremendously helpful in getting better cell phones into our hands from the software side by working on Android. I actually think the modern Android experience is quite a bit nicer than the modern iPhone experience.

I think it's a bit silly to expect a (software) company to have spectacular launch after spectacular launch. Those aren't easy things, failure is the most likely outcome. Google does seem to be invested in the right spaces and certainly seems to have smart people working for them.

Edit: And obviously it's a great prototyping tool if it'll be supported by the major engines. I'll gladly take a more comfortable cardboard to quickly prototype some VR ideas. As a bonus I get it on less powerful hardware so I have a good "worst case"

> I think Rust has the mindshare, what it needs is people actually doing it.

That's kind of the opposite of having the mindshare, IMO :) Having the mindshare means people would be reaching for it when they need things done, not have to be dragged in, and there's a wide pool of people knowing it.

I'm pretty sure you can write OS kernel in almost any language that can be compiled into runnable code, and probably if you are really determined also in those that are compiled into bytecode. As I said, it's not the main issue.

Unless you are a titan of programming that can do an OS project all by yourself, or have more money than Google, you'll need random people to come to the project, pick up pieces and work on them. The question is, does Rust have pool of people wide enough so that probability of people wanting to work on your project is higher than your needs?

C definitely has a huge pool. So do C++, Java, JS, Python and many other languages. Rust? I'm not sure it does so far. Maybe I'm wrong.

The incentive for Chinese high school students to read classic Chinese is very clear: it's part of the all important college entrance examination.

Writing classic Chinese is a completely different matter. It is considered an impressive feat, which some high school students exploit to achieve publicity for themselves and to get full score in the exam. Examples are just a google search away: https://www.google.com/search?q=%E6%96%87%E8%A8%80%E6%96%87%...

If your wife had undergone the same pressure to pass the all important college entrance exam, like I had many years ago, she would have learned to read classic Chinese, like I have.

My wife had already read 资治通鉴 when she was in high school. She is a special case though because she scored the first in her province's college entrance exam. I was far worse than her as I was not even among the first five in my high school, but now I read classic Chinese for pleasure, just like many other educated Chinese men would do when they get older.

Getting range in open air is easy (relatively speaking), but obstructions (walls etc.) can have a huge effect.

Pedants would probably agree that this is a true statement, but it is also not relevant. The project itself claims it is open source and the parent claims it isn't. No one mentioned the free software movement.

Parent is pointing out that the license lacks some provisions commonly required to be considered "open source" -- a better term for what is presented might be "disclosed source" or "visible source."

Defining open source can be a point of contention, but the license in question is pretty far away from most accepted definitions. There's not even a right to modify the code. Note that this license appears to be only on the base project that seems to contain nothing beyond documentation and samples.
What are the hardware requirements? I've seen only vague talk about low-persistence displays, high performance CPUs and GPUs and sensors. How low should the persistence be? What FPS? Is there any specific level of performance required from CPUs and GPUs, like a specific number on a benchmark or a particular Qualcomm processor?
iOS does have a widget screen.
How does that compare to the similar argument when people bring up free speech (and a person responds that if the best defense is that the government can't make it illegal, etc.)
If it's "baseless" to accuse the employer of acting in bad faith, then those poor working conditions are either an utter accident or the fault of the employees' decisions.

And working conditions are not an accident.
> Does this new Google device come with the Google Fi feature which backhauls all your traffic to Google via a VPN?

Not applicable.

The purpose of Google Connectivity Services is to provide protected access (encrypted via VPN) to the Internet on an unsecured 802.11 network like one that you'd encounter at a coffee shop.

In that case, GCS sets up a tunnel from your phone to Google's edge network, traffic from your phone egresses via an IP address dedicated to GCS and then you're surfing the Interwebs.

If you've entered a SSID and a related PSK or WEP password (as one typically does on a home network), GCS isn't available to use.

Use of GCS is optional. It can be disabled as desired.
Maybe the pirates win the upcoming Icelandic election. They give asylum to Snowden and decide to become kind of like the Estonia of online privacy. Maybe they invest public funds in accelerators and scholarships etc. With a political climate like that, Icelandic businesses could make stronger claims about protecting data, making that a point of global competition. And then maybe the US politics could slowly start to change.

History of Ajhc Haskell Compiler (Japanese) [pdf]
Before the 1930s there were the 1800s. Mines built entire cities and paid people in corporate dollars that could only be traded at corporate stores. Then there were the depressions at the start of the century. I could imagine outlawing mixed use development as a reaction to corporate abuses. Or, worse yet, a desire to minimize risk from natural disasters and fires. From the people I've known from the 30s, it could simply be personal preference. Oh and tract housing.
I genuinely appreciate your response but it is not an argument.

fallacy [1]

>I feel x

isn't an argument. for example: I feel safer with a gun.

fallacy [2]

> ... when every private citizen I interact with carries a gun.

Having the right to carry a gun or the right to encryption does not imply everyone will/must carry one or use it at all times.

With encryption criminals around you can plan attacks, steal your identity, and trade child pornography without fear of the prying eyes of law enforcement ever being able to discover the evidence. That would probably make a large number of other people 'feel' unsafe as well. feeling a certain way isn't an argument.

> conspiracy theories

Conspiracies do happen from time to time. Unfortunately the term "conspiracy theory" is often used to refer to unreasonable theories that are more about reinforcing preconceptions about what ought to be instead of observing what the situation actually is.

Obviously it is important to check any theory, and extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. In this case, however, the claim that Google wants to get their hands on as much data as possible isn't an extraordinary claim. It isn't a conspiracy which is usually defined as a secret plan. Google is very open about their business model based on analyzing large amounts of data with modern techniques.

Calling concerns about giving even more data to Google a "conspiracy theory" not only ignores Google's business model, it also dilutes the term making an actual secret conspiracy harder to identify in the future.

> think about just how many people use Google search, Gmail, Chrome, Android, etc.

The only service that is similar to sending all of your traffic to Google is GA (Google Analytics), which most people are not using willingly. Yes, a lot of damaging analysis can be done from search/mail/etc, which is why it's a terrible idea to also include the rest of your internet traffic.

> improving security for average users

Google has done a lot of work to keep user data safe from third parties. Very little of that work prevents Google itself from seeing your data. When the default configuration isn't end-to-end encrypted, in practice this means Google is still seeing everything. Google even calls this a feature that is part of their "assistant".

> If their goal was to spy on people

So you don't think their business is based on spying on users in various ways for better ad targeting? Even though Serge Brin and Larry Page personally explained their intention to spy to CA State Sen. Liz Figueroa?

> Yet another device Google will sell, and then discontinue in 24-36 months.

You don't know that.
This is why I still see it as a novelty. In time this will most likely change. Currently, my issues with it all boil down to trust and efficiency. Let's use two simple examples. Uber and movie ticket booking.

Let's say I wish to book an Uber. Usually, I open pop open the app and hit the request button. Doesn't take long at all. I get visual confirmation through the map and the little lollipop Uber driver photo. It's fast and I have the feedback to know that what I set out to do has been done. What if I had used the assistant? Well, now I have to waste a lot of time chatting to it. Sometimes it reads my address wrong or it doesn't understand Australian. So after a few mishaps, I finally get told that it's on the way. Okay. Then the twitching starts. The need to check that it was actually entered properly kicks in. So I open up the app to check the lollipop heating-seeking Uber driver is on target. I end up at the same place I attempted to avoid. Yet this avoidance was less efficient. I didn't receive enough feedback so I was unable to trust.

The second example is ordering a movie ticket to go see Batman 27 with my wife. I ask the assistant awkwardly to book for me and give it a time. It tells me that it's all good and dandy. The trust issues then kick in. So I go head off to my e-mail to triple check my confirmation. I wasn't active during the booking process, so the feedback is all I have to work with. It's date night too, so I can't waste it or I'll be sleeping on the couch. I've just wasted time.

Then it occurs to you that by bypassing their system, you may have possibly missed some little announcement or some benefit that is only visible to you during the booking process. For example, doing it manually may show me that there's a time slot that has more ticket availability than the one we were originally headed to. This means an emptier cinema so that I don't get weird looks when she starts telling me about her day mid-movie. The assistant wouldn't have told me that. The assistant also can't toggle around the tick boxes and drop boxes that would have told me I would have been able to do a 2-for-1 deal if we had gone an hour later.

Being there during the actual process isn't always a bad thing. Abstracting away these manual processes would be fine if all processes were identical. They're not though. You're losing too much control and being provided with too little feedback. Now, I can very much see the benefit of the assistant while driving. It makes sense there. You're usually unable to hold the device and that form of interaction is a best fit.

I don't think it's ready yet. I can do everything faster manually. It doesn't add anything at the moment, it just subtracts.
It's the same reason I have no use for Cortana on Windows 10 or Siri. Why would I talk to the computer when it's considerably more efficient to just start typing.
