In truth, you could make much the same argument about most cities that aren't SF, NYC or Seattle. No one city is going to be the next SV. What we're seeing is a national transition away from the suburbs and back into large metro areas. The first cities had a leg up due to being the epicenters of various industries but everyone else is catching up.

I don't know, man. I've been waiting since I was a kid to see AI, and finally some rough approximation of sci-fi grade AI is starting to materialize. But everywhere in the internet all I hear is 'It's dumb... Who cares... Google doesn't know what they're doing'

I don't know, is me being continually amazed by the services Google offers some kind of character flaw or something? I don't understand.
I see that everyone is realizing the value in this particular PR line, "Mars Ho!". Given the degree of extreme hope I see in the world of intelligent and educated people regarding this issue, I suspect it might work for a while too. At some point though, it's going to become clear that no current group has any real intentions, not to mention clear ideas, to make a Mars colony work.

Yeah, you get about the same with the Nexus devices, at least I've got friends still running the N5 who've went from 4->5->6 without issue. I've done about the same on my OnePlus One (5 was out when I got it but it shipped with 4) so it's not unheard of on the Android side at least.
Or figure out how to expand their customer base? I heard friends of mine mentioned that they found Twitter not intuitive to use.
That's way too simplistic answer and not true in many cases. Does Donald Trump strive to be a president to get more women? I don't think thats his primary motivation.
That's a solid point, but the Ariane 5 does not do manned flight either. SRBs are less safe than liquid fuel engines too, no way to shut SRBs down on ignition ... sweet.
Okay, good point - so it's the deferencing step that evokes the clause your mentioned. Apparently, what I learned today, is the cast is fully legal even though it could produce an invalid pointer.

I still wonder if my snippet counts as undefined behavior, since it does dereference an "unknown" void pointer, which may have come from an incompatible object type.

The passage of time doesn't diminish the usefulness of local navigation techniques...

a Mercator projection will give you a bearing to steer to arrive at your destination, which can be followed by eye, autopilot, etc etc.

Calculating a great circle arc and plotting it, following a bearing which may only change by a degree or two but isn't constant, is an unnecessary complication on short routes.

Even commercial vessels will use those old techniques if they don't need to consider the longer range effects. Error correction in the human process is always a consideration.

Computers don't care about your maps and will plot a great circle route just fine. However, in the event of system failure you want a real backup. Which is why the navy still teaches people how to use a sextant. http://www.npr.org/2016/02/22/467210492/u-s-navy-brings-back...

Note: The actual deviation from a great circle route is generally fairly minimal in practice.

PS: GPS is just another system that really can fail.
I wonder how much each user would have to be charged to at least break even. Of course if their business model changed to a pay scheme I imagine a large portion of the user base would leave rather than stump up even a very modest fee.

Is there room for a similar service that charges a one-off fee, recurring monthly charge or fee per message?
I don't even mind the keeping-up part. What I don't understand is how anybody keeps the code base reasonably up to date. I want to build something that lasts.

I was talking to somebody at a place where they're throwing away a big custom code base in favor of gluing together a bunch of aaS stuff. Four years ago, the system was cutting edge. Then they had a big round of layoffs, and they only now can afford to do new work again. One of the big factors in the decision was just the cost of getting everything up to date. There was a bunch of failed flavor-of-the-week stuff that needed to be rewritten. There was a bunch of technical debt from using cutting edge stuff (e.g., library versions pinned to particular GitHub hashes, forks of libraries to get that one feature or work around that one bug). And there was just the proliferation of different technologies picked because they were the "best" for the local problem, but definitely not the best when you account for operations and maintenance cost.

I'm hoping that the roulette wheel eventually stops spinning and the JS world settles on something, anything where I can be confident that somebody can come back a couple of years later and be able to extend it without having to throw everything out.

> By incorporating AI, Google Allo attempts to provide a “superior” chatting experience. It features automated “Smart Replies”, integrated Google Assistant that will answer your questions, and easier ways to express one’s feelings with emojis and pictures.

Is it just me? It seems every time Google and others incorporate "AI" into a product it makes it more awkward to work with. It feels like adding AI these days is only slightly better than "we added a Clippy module". Search seems less direct, more map fails, and asking "ok Google" is a mess.

Has anyone tried Allo and are you able to comment on that "predictive response" or ability to ask the Google AI? Is it well integrated and useful or Clippy-like annoying?

Although it does mention some risks of using 3rd party code/components in passing under 'Understanding and Controlling Dependencies' (835-), I would have expected them to make a stronger case for OWASP 2013-TOP10-A09: 'using components with known vulnerabilities'[1] type of analysis. This applies to almost any kind of modern application, not just web apps, but especially to those written in native languages (C/C++/...) as we increasingly build our applications by bringing in varying amounts of 3rd party code; open source or commercial. Like traditional static code analysis, more or less mature tooling exists in open source[2][3][4] and commercial capacity to perform static binary and source code analysis to discover and track 'offending' 3rd party code, which does make it practical to include this kind of analysis to sdl/sdlc/devops workflows.

Why Ukraine is a world's outsourcing leader? Ukrainian developers' secret
Very true. It is not so much about [specific] ecosystem, it is about watching any superior/reliable product(s) getting gradually worse or given less attention or both. Apple hardware and software are nowhere near where they were some five years ago.

Recent example: Fix for iTunes app store searchability / visibility problem... Ads!
I don't see expressing that a threshold has been passed as useless at all. I struggle with the question of whether to complain to companies like Apple. (For example, when running compatibility tests we used to find the occasional odd unrelated OS bug, but do I care if they fix it?)

In the case of PC manufacturers and the like, they are all approaching the same local maxima at any given time and responding to every trivial gripe and indicator of lowering sentiment is the way they get the .01% better than their competitors that they need to be. Since there is no conversion cost at a next purchase, they've won market for the next quarter. If I help one improve, I force the others to worry just a tiny bit more too.

For Apple, they have their own thing. If enough people complain about their resource allocation then it can fluctuate between a 10% worse deal or a 10% better deal in the measure of a particular demographic, depending on their price sensitivity, compatibility needs, etc.

But if I am in a demographic where they are never going to get past break even against a market at another local maxima, then it is in my best interest to say nothing so the fight at the other local maxima gets as intense as possible and I don't get forced to buy/use the unwanted products, develop for them or test compatibility as often.

Seems like a good time to be entertaining offers. With the election, Twitter is at its highest relevance ever, the news cycle nearly runs to the rhythm of Trump's tweets.
We have different understandings of the political situation. Sure, on those occasions when Trump isn't simply incoherent he is often engaged in frankly racist fear-mongering. It's reminiscent of someone's use of the term "super-predators". If they can keep his somewhat scarce attention, a Trump election would be great news for manufacturers of forever-stamping boots. If Trump deserves any comparison to Duterte, it's only because he's somewhat frank in his glowing admiration for terrorism as a police tactic. Duterte has always been more than "somewhat frank"; for decades he has spelled out in detail how little value he places on human rights.

And although she is generally more circumspect... ditto for Clinton. Somehow people who do care about human rights find enough blank spaces in her that they can color in a candidate for whom they can stomach voting. In reality, she won't even make the halfhearted gestures at pardons for victimless crimes that Obama has made recently. Clinton will be every bit as eager as he is to murder around-the-world around-the-clock with terrordeathdrones. She'll continue her innovations in hiding from FOIA while throwing the citizenry to the dogs of the Surveillance State. She'll be talked into more travesties like Libya. She'll probably rein in those states who have rolled back drug prohibition. Trump will do this crap because he doesn't know any better. Clinton will because the real evil bastards have plenty of proof of all of her "violent-crime-felony-type scandals".

Credit and debit card transactions use a two-step process - first of all the charge is approved (between the customer, bank and retailer) and later the charge is transferred. The latter process requires no customer intervention.

In face-to-face retailing the two steps happen within seconds of each other, but they don't /have/ to. They can also charge slightly different amounts - for example if your card is swiped for a restaurant bill before you've chosen what tip you're leaving, or if your order comes in two shipments as it's partly back-ordered.

Any two-factor authentication for online use happens as soon as you give your card details, regardless of whether the retailer waits until the box is shipped before transferring the charge.
> he's specifically trying to inflict an ideology on a group

I think you should re-read the paragraph you're re-stating -- you don't seem to have understood the author's meaning, because you're replying to a straw man.

In fact, IMO, almost all of the comments here seem to have missed the actual point of the article, which I don't think was at all intended to be taken on face value...

Giving people "a different set of goggles to try on" is about as far as you can get from "inflict[ing] an ideology". The entire purpose of the former is to explicitly recognize the contingency of a particular (or even any particular) ideology.

> making bigoted assumptions about their perception of the world

I don't think the assumption that most formal education in the west is pretty Eurocentric is anything less than accurate. E.g. look at the amount of time spent on various cultures in history courses and look at how they are discussed (in their own terms vs. comparatively.)

There isn't necessarily anything wrong with that, either, because it's easier to learn about things that are familiar to you, and easier to learn about new things when they are compared to things you're already familiar with. However, it does motivate the need for popular writing that points out the ways in which such an education can lead you astray.

In that respect, all of the strongly negative reactions to this article were exactly the point the author was making. The flaws in Asia-centric thinking are obvious to us, and the step that the author is hoping an educated reader will be able to make on their own (perhaps with the help of a footnote) is to realize that these same flaws are also manifest in Euro-centric thinking. (Or, you know, just get pissed off and miss the point.)

This very point is actually why I moved from Vim to Emacs years ago. After mastering Vim, I realized that Vim strongly encourages you to think a little too much about exactly how to get there or do that thing in the fewest keystrokes, and that it's incompatible with muscle memory. Even years later, I still had to think too much about it. Whereas in Emacs I can just use basic character/word/line-based movements and let my muscle memory do its thing while I let my brain focus on the code itself instead of how to use the text editor.

I don't know. I think Netflix has a good idea of what they'd like their future to be, but no clear path to get there. Their subscriber growth is slowing, and their content library is shrinking (and was always pretty anaemic outside of a few core territories). Being owned by Disney would give them guaranteed access to a AAA content catalogue, and far more firepower in reciprocal licensing negotiations. And for their part, Disney gets a ready-made, world-class streaming service.

While I'm apprehensive about the idea of this as a Netflix subscriber, I think it probably makes a fair bit of sense for both businesses.

Is there's a nonpaywalled version of this article?
I can definitely see more standards and certifications coming to pass, which then later distill down to one or two primary certifications that everybody aspires to get. Currently there are multiple privacy/security standards (PCI, HIPPA, FERPA, etc). We'll probably have to get more opinions from more sensitive-data industries, and then for them all to find the common ground.

But how would we incentivize businesses properly to be [WHATEVER] compliant, and pay for the regular security scans? Social proof / public shame hasn't worked yet, despite MANY high profile examples. We may have to impose some sort of carrot/stick combo that says: "If your infrastructure consists of N# of networked devices, you must meet these standards. If you fail to, and get caught in a data breach (like what happens with PCI), fines that could put you out of business get levied. Additionally, if you show proof of your security certification every year, you get a tax break."
How is that relevant? Neither did iPhone 3G, but why would you compare Google's newest phone with iPhone 6s, when iPhone 7 is already out?

Kind of insane that they've reached this point.

Why didn't they attempt to monetise journalism by providing users of Twitter with a subscription that allows them to skip the paywalls of big newspapers and that could automatically aggregate the individual micropayments into a revenue stream for the publishers that sign up? (This would make sense to me: often an individual interaction is worth very little, but the aggregate can find a buyer.)

Do massively funded startups get trapped into their original revenue-creation strategy due to the original vision they sold investors? It looks like that's the case, and if so that's terrible for manoeuvrability.
Not only that, nearly all of them use the IMX377 :)

That said, there is TREMENDOUS variance in image quality, even if you're using the same sensor. The ISP and color tuning process is extraordinarily complex and severely subjective; the noise filtering and encoding processes are incredibly difficult as well.

And then there is Autofocus; HDR blending; when to do HDR at all; video stabilization; and so on and so on.
We really need this contrarian view of startup creation. In a way, having a few millions in profits can't be called a lifestyle business, your business can't scale more and you are happy with what you created and control. Also, only the process to get initially funded is very time consuming (e.g. look at the kickstarter videos).
