Battle of the Internet Giants: Real-Time Accumulation of Wealth
More than half the assertions in that article are predicated on the false premise that self-driving cars would be owned by the riders for personal use, rather than commissioned per-ride from a fleet (the way ride-"sharing" services like Uber and Lyft work today).

Once you take that part out of the equation, the arguments, one by one, become a lot weaker, if not collapsing entirely:

- Electric cars being impractical: when you're managing an automated fleet, taking them off the grid to be fueled electrically is actually more practical, since it's easier to deploy recharging nodes without manual intervention than it is to transfer liquid. Also, longer on-base recharging times (which aren't necessarily a given) can be combined with any routine maintenance which may need to be done (including scanning the cabin for lost items / cleaning it).

- Ownership costs: this one falls apart almost completely. There is the looming problem that this would give massive corporations even more leverage than they already have, but the solutions there are political in nature, calling for an approach similar to the existing approach to state-run mass transit (akin to how Seattle runs the Pronto bike service).

- No big increase in productivity: "One of the many benefits is smaller than claimed" is hardly an argument against autonomous vehicles - not to mention that that study only looks at the immediate behaviors of current self-driving-car passengers. It's quite likely that, after even just a few months of self-driving fleets being normalized, we'd see workflows start to adapt, with more voice-driven productivity adopted (to avoid motion sickness), possibly combined with translucent displays in the vehicles themselves.

- People like driving themselves: I'm not sure I buy this as a real obstacle for the majority of the population. People liked feeding horses, chatting with travel agents, and browsing bookstores, too- it wasn't enough to keep most people from abandoning them once a significantly more convenient alternative came along. (And if you're only making the decision per-ride, instead of for an up-front bulk purchase like a self-driven car, this decision becomes a lot easier.)
Could you recommend some that have deep catalog? I find the that iTunes and Amazon don't have anywhere near the deep catalog that I once enjoyed at my local video store.

For a real film buff being able to go rent F. W. Murnau's "Noseferatu", Michelangelo Antonioni's "Blowup" or Polanski's "Knife in the Water" was really important to me and something I took for granted. Almost every large city had a least one such film nerd rental place. And now that video stores are gone there's just a void for so much of this content.

One beacon of hope though which is supposed to launch soon is a streaming venture by TCM and The Criterion Collection:

There's a significant difference between what happens when you give an intervention to part of a population and all of it. Specifically, the overall system they're a part of will respond differently.

Take education, for example. It's pretty obvious that getting a college degree will help any one individual out - everyone applies for jobs, and employers will look favorably on those with a college degree. The calculus changes when you make it way easier for everyone to get a college degree, since employers can't prefer everyone.

I have a similar worry about UBI and other anti-poverty interventions. If the system is set up to squeeze the poor until they are inches away from starving or rioting, then an extra $500/yr will help any individual stuck there out by quite a lot. If you give everyone in that situation an extra $500/yr, I'm worried that what'll happen is that it gets sucked up by various landlords and rentiers. There's historical precedent for it, too - the lives of the American poor were not substantially improved by the vast amounts of excess wealth and productivity that let almost everyone off the farms.

Dangit. I shouldn't have said anything, then. I want my personal AI agent to watch all the movies and television shows I have ever watched, and read all the books I have ever read, and play all the video games I have ever played, so that it can make obscure references that I can understand at the appropriate times.

In this case, it would have to know the various names of sky-blue colors, like "azure", "cerulean", "process cyan", or technical answers like "transparent with Rayleigh scattering" or "hue value between 190 and 200 degrees". Then it would have to cross reference that with things I have already seen or read, and then prioritize several potential responses before finally playing me an audio clip from X-Files 3:17 "Pusher", when the eponymous character is being transported in the back of a cop car.

It depends on your goals. If you're doing relatively basic things, a hybrid app can feel indistinguishable from a native app on iOS. Android is tough because the hardware varies so much. Displaying text fields, scrolling tables, images, etc. will work well and feel native on iOS and on higher-powered Android devices. Going outside of those lines into a lot of animation and that kind of thing is slower and will not feel native anymore.

I actively recommended against hybrid apps for years to people who hired me, but for the last year or so I would have felt safe recommending it with the caveats above. My experience is mostly with Ionic, which is a layer on top of Cordova, but I imagine most of these frameworks are the same.

Some interesting ideas sadly blocked behind a pay-wall journal, all for the purpose of boosting a researcher's prestige because they now hold a "Nature" publication. Thankfully, this article is easily accessible via Sci-Hub. http://www.nature.com.sci-hub.cc/nature/journal/vaop/ncurren...
I should add that one of the things I really like about Julia is having closures and higher-order functions, and also lambda. Unlike other Schemers switching to Julia, I don't miss not having tail recursion (if I was writing the kind of code that's more naturally recursive, I likely would have used Scheme / Lisp to start with). About the only thing I have a hard time wrapping my head around is writing macros in Julia -- CL-style macros are somehow a lot easier to think about. But this is likely to change with more experience. Also, I haven't needed Julia macros very oten.
Yo dawg, I heard you liked OpenBSD...

Why the promise-like interface? If it returned a promise with a this-returning progress method monkey-patched onto it, then you could use it otherwise like a regular promise:

Tesseract.recognize(myImage)
.progress(function(message){console.log(message)})
.then(function(result){console.log(result)})
.catch(function(err){console.error(err)});

or

Tesseract.recognize(myImage)
.progress(function(message){console.log(message)})
.then(
function(result){console.log(result)},
function(err){console.error(err)}
);

I guess I just still have bad memories of jQuery's old almost-like-real promises. I'd rather never have to think ever again about whether I'm dealing with a real promise or one that's going to surprise me and break at run-time because I tried to use it like a real one.
...and? I think I see the point that you're trying to make, but I don't think that it's pertinent to the discussion. A tablet is still a "personal computer" (solely as a descriptive term) without the keyboard, and regardless of Apple marketing. But it's not a "personal computer", in the same sense that common usage of that word doesn't include (most) tablets, smartphones, PDAs, programmable calculators, etc.

But, we digress. Tell me again how it's reasonable that hardware that will run OSes 1, 2, and 3 shouldn't be allowed to run OS 1, because the hardware doesn't have a fruit sticker on the side.

Old hardware was inherently incompatible software-wise, due to widely varying CPU and system architectures. ARM and MIPS hardware today somewhat mirrors that on a device-by-device level; every model has different interconnections between its components and often different mixes of components connected in. Luckily, we've got OSes that provide relatively robust hardware abstraction layers, so that the same software package from my 2010 device is highly likely to run on my 2016 device. I think that strengthens my argument: when even widely varied hardware isn't much of a barrier to software interoperability, why should we be satisfied with legal limitations?

And anyhow, the point was software development. Going into the definition of what is and isn't a PC is a bunch of BS semantics. Let's drill down to the devices that are pertinent to the discussion: The set of devices that are technically capable of native (as opposed to web) OSX and iOS development, and the set of devices that are legally capable of the same. Those are what the discussion is about.

I'd suggest that in addition you should read at least some parts of modern translations of early scientific works starting with Aristotle. I don't mean read everything of course but try to get a sense of perspective, not everything was invented in the last hundred years.

Also take a look at Carlo Rovelli's monograph: "Aristotle's Physics: a Physicist's Look" at https://arxiv.org/abs/1312.4057. The kind of thinking that Rovelli describes is essential to success in science
Assuming they will be economically active.
Medieval economy relied heavily on wood consumption, in a very unsustainable way. Forests were cut down way faster than they could renew and, if no technological change happened, they would have hit a wall pretty violently.

But they didn't. Instead, people and societies adapted.

The lesson of that is that you cannot extrapolate our current technology and the resources we consume in the future and assume that everything will stay the same.

It's like saying medieval societies should have stopped growing so they could sustain on the wood they cut down.
> So at what point does a cause become "serious" enough that you have special dispensation to ignore laws in its pursuit, and who decides that?

Historians do.

The rule of law made slavery legal. The rule of law made apartheid legal. The rule of law made sending black people to the back of the bus legal. The rule of law made killing millions of Jews legal. The rule of law sent 15 million people to the Gulags. The rule of law made the Divine Right of Kings part of the equation. The rule of law made human sacrifice in Central America part of society.

The rule of law is ephemeral, and has nothing whatsoever to do with justice. The rule of law is so often a fig leaf for barbarism.

160 years ago, an abolitionist stealing a slave away from a slaveowner was violating the rule of law. They were also damaging the property, finances, and livelyhood of an innocent person - all because their pet cause wasn't getting as much attention as they liked.

Read A Letter from a Birmingham Jail. [1] Martin Luther King puts this across far better than I can. (And he is only half of the story - the work of Malcolm X, the Black Panthers, and the NAACP, which could not be described as non-violent protest was a vital catalyst for civil rights.)

> You deplore the demonstrations taking place in Birmingham. But your statement, I am sorry to say, fails to express a similar concern for the conditions that brought about the demonstrations. I am sure that none of you would want to rest content with the superficial kind of social analysis that deals merely with effects and does not grapple with underlying causes. It is unfortunate that demonstrations are taking place in Birmingham, but it is even more unfortunate that the city's white power structure left the Negro community with no alternative.

I think there exist fields of invention where it's reasonable for inventors to know what's in the patent database and thus avoid unintentional infringement. Obviously software isn't one of those fields.
As population is one of the indicative of productivity (although a weak one), you can see how many big events were driven by population growth. For example,

- During World War II, US had more people then Germany, France and UK combined. This certainly enabled deployment of massive armies on many front and huge amount of weapon production.

- Japan's population suddenly started rising and overtook many western countries. Its increased productivity might be the reason why this tiny country felt it can take on the world.

- India and China are odd balls. India had massive population since very early times compared to European countries.

-Somewhere in 1870, US population crossed a threshold and became the most populated western country.

-Population for 2100 AD is estimated at 10 billion.

Hmm that's an interesting idea. I'm assuming their phone server is Java, same as their text server, so the builds should theoretically be identically reproducible for both. It seems like it should be possible to include a field in each response with some sort of signature so users can verify which build is serving requests. It'd have to be in every response so that they can't just reverse-proxy /status to the valid build and serve other requests from a modified build, and it'd have to be somehow dependent on some changing external factor or input so they can't just hard-code the valid build's signature.
I agree that it isn't fair to measure a parent by how well their kids do in school, but I think it is perfectly reasonable to measure a parent by how well they support and encourage their children to get a basic education. For example, I know of two parents who have actively encouraged their kids to drop out of high school just months shy of graduation--and these were students who were going to graduate. So now they are going to be looking at providing for themselves without even having a high school diploma.
To add to this -- whenever one does analysis based on very broad correlations, and where there is much potential for confounding variables that can never be perfectly controlled for, it is very easy to cut the data in a way that results in a 5-20% effect either way. That is why there are studies that show pretty much everything from broccoli to butter both causes and prevents cancer -- http://www.vox.com/2015/3/23/8264355/research-study-hype. So when looking at correlations, you need to ask, is this a "broccoli causes cancer result" (a small effect, easily caused by confounding variables and/or p-value hacking) or is this a "cigarettes cause lung cancer result" (a giant effect that cannot be explained any other way). The study in this article is a "broccoli prevents cancer" type of result. It is possible there is a small effect from the intervention, it is also possible there is no effect. The only information we can actually take away from the study is that there is not an obvious large effect.
Begs the question of, homes where. Public housing, hotel rooms, condominiums, remote cabins, camps, shelters, the devil is in those details.

"Homeless" is a euphemism, more of a metonym for a cluster of issues that form an identifiable other. It's a general problem of how should a society deal with extreme exceptional minorities. From a majority rule perspective, there are probably still more homeless people than millionaires (let alone billionaires) in the bay area, so maybe they will organize and win the right to camp anywhere.

Rich people need permits, licenses, planning permission, and community consent to build homes. Tent dwellers, not so much. In fact, if the resolution doesn't pass to prevent people from camping in the street, what's to stop anyone from setting up pre-fab luxury sidewalk camps like those at burning man.
