Having used Windows 10 and the ascendance of responsive webpages, I can see its potential. Obviously Microsoft completely bungled it in Windows 8, but otherwise:

This is something that can be done and done well, and if so I'd love to have a phone with the power and software of a full desktop device, expressed in a phone-oriented UI.

The trick is that there's a matrix of several features that have to be considered:

1) Tiny screens means that multiple visible applications is not useful, and that all OS UI needs to be auto-hidden (something users want to be able to do anyways). Font sizes may need to be scaled up (that's something you need to be supporting anyways for older folks).

2) Touch means adding new ways to interact with existing widgets (drag scroll, for ex) and buttons need to be scaled up to have a larger hit-area (and you alreayd have to deal with scaling up fonts, so fixed-size UI elements already went out the window).

To me, the important thing is that 1 and 2 are not duct-taped together. If I have a phone and a stylus or I plug in a keyboard and mouse, I want 1 but not 2.

On the other hand, if I have a 20" touch-screen, I want 2 but not 1.
The problem with US/Mexican "relations" isn't cultural, ideological or philosophical it's mostly due to the economic disparity between the 2 nations and a city won't change it.

There are already places where the US and Mexico effectively share a cross border municipality/urab environment.

Adding another one won't change anything it can either create a false state if only the richest of Mexicans move in or will result in the same state as many other border urban areas right now where the Mexican side provides cheap day labor and a "safer" platform for criminal activity due to the financial disparity.
How to build a quality prototype
This is true. However, this is taken care of by basic taxes and welfare. (Judging by my experience with HN discussions, this usually leads to talking about how US doesn't have enough welfare net; I want to point out that this is not the topic of the conversation).

So let me ask you a question — when we discuss this "back" direction, would you include someone who's been living on this welfare net for all of this life in it? Someone who purposefully declined to contribute anything to the society? The very phrase "to give back" implies that we're giving to someone who gave us something before — and this hypothetical Joe sure as hell didn't give anything to us. *

Since my question is purely rhetorical, let me answer to it to get to the point. I don't think that you would include him in "giving back". And yet, we keep him (or at least, me and you agree that we should try) fed and alive to some degree.

So, this whole notion about "giving back" is something different from keeping this hypothetical Joe alive. What is it, exactly?

___

* This paragraph may sound similar to typical right-wing propaganda about lazy people living on welfare. However, it is only a hypothetical example to prove a point. I'm not making any statements about real people in it.
Seems interesting. I'm not a fan of LinkedIn, so this piques my curiosity. I am concerned about the "1:1 relationship" feature though. It seems core to the experience, but personally i'm not sure i will like it, and am hesitant to sign up as a result.

Why? I fear needing to ask meaningful questions, and / or respond with meaningful answers, as a public display of my networking power.

Eg, if i was asked a question about development, maybe with a tool i'm not too familiar with, i now have to go "on record" explaining what little i know about the tool, just to form a relationship i might want. Sure, that person may be most interested in that tool, but i'm sure i can fit "their needs" for many other aspects, just maybe not that one tool, and not at this time.

How permanent are these Q:A things? What if i learn said tool, do i re-answer? What if i want to revise any inaccuracies i post? From the description, this seems more important than a normal forum (eg: Stackoverflow).

I'm probably wrong on the concept, as i have only watched the video, but i figure even if i am wrong it might help explain confusions i took from the video.
If I could Correct the Record here, no one is trying to control the narrative on these platforms. Sounds like a Republican funded lie to me :^)

Basically they're using differentiable memory allocation, which means that training can not just change 'what' is stored in memory but 'where' it's stored.
Open market operations only change the "portfolio" makeup of the private sector on the margin. New new assets(new money) are added to the private sector. There is no money multiplier due to open market operations itself. Banks will lend as long as they can make a profit and since banks can create deposits out of thin air, what you are saying is inapplicable to modern monetary/banking systems. Banks can always create deposits to meet loan demand.
Apropos of this I just heard on the radio about the Kleptocracy Asset Recovery initiative[1] which tries to recover "misappropriated" funds from corrupt officials who primarily launder money by buying real estate in the US through off shore shell companies.

Queering Startups: Furthering LGBTQ Inclusivity in Tech
One of the episodes of Revisionist History talks about genius and
different types of innovation, through the episode they talk about
Cohen and how his song Hallelujah was not an overnight success. Cohen
worked on it over 5 years to get it to a point where he was
comfortable with!

Dylan is also mentioned in that episode, since they had some kind of
mutual admiration. Apparently Dylan and Cohen meetup at some point
and Dylan asked Leonard how long it took him to write Hallelujah and
he lied saying "2 years". Then Cohen asked Dylan how long it took him
write "I and I" and Dylan said: "oh, like 15 minutes".

If you are interested in exploring more, I annotated a bunch of fun facts from
that episode https://www.listeningcrowd.com/podcasts/1-revisionist-histor...

Tone of your comments suggests that you're arguing with me, and yet, you didn't write anything that contradicts with my comment. Are you sure you understood what I wrote?
Yes.

I still live in a place where there are homeless people all around me. The difference is that I try and look for systematic policy solutions and not just move the problem somewhere else. It's not easy, I really don't like it, but I'm not going to shirk from reality or my duty to society.

I also identify as a socialist so we're probably just not on the same page. I don't victim blame homeless people, and I don't try to sweep society's problems under the carpet.
> why can't it have totally different UX experiences optimized for each state? Is that really so bad?

Gee, not only is it not bad it seems like it's really good. The context seems so different as to necessitate different UX.

Indeed. All law relies on the inductive judgements of the, well, judge. You can't write inductive reasoning in Coq, and you probably won't be able to for a rather long time.
I have the opposite experience -- I tried Buck because I really wanted a Blaze/Bazel clone (it wasn't open source at the time). It works but I find it very slow.

My project involves lots of native code and genrules, though. If you're mostly building Java code I imagine Buck might work well. If starting from scratch I would try Bazel first.
Car seats can no longer safely be placed in the front seat due to the air bag risks. Children who fall asleep in the back seat combined with sleep deprived parents can lead to an "out of sight, out of mind" scenario where children are forgotten in the back seat of cars. It happens every summer.
Most private schools are not for profit.

They don't have investor and the endowments are not used to pay dividends.

Private doesn't mean for profit, and non for profit doesn't mean they can't make money it's what the money is used for that defines them.
> Not sure how to solve that problem.

TL;DR - Instead of UBI, how about self reliance?

Instead of UBI, wouldn't be better to empower people and communities of people directly by providing financial help and technology, including automation. Each community, city or country needs to be self reliant and not need much external financial help. If a city has enough land to cultivate its food, it can build a vertically integrated economy, with everything necessary for its citizens to live by. People would be directly involved in providing for themselves, using automation as well. They would not feel robbed of their agency and self determinacy.

Practical measures to achieve that would be: to invest in energy tech such as solar, make sure automation and 3d-printing are open source and easy to employ, heavily tax imports in order to encourage reliance on local production, tax automation and AI, provide financial help for local projects, provide healthcare and education for free. With all those in place, the need for UBI would be much reduced.

If people were left with no jobs and insufficient social protection they would not simply roll out and die. They would associate to find alternative means such as self sustaining farm communities, some of them would provide professional services to others, creating a human-based parallel currency. Such communities could invest what they had before into the common pool and have their own capital. With capital they can have the ability to use automation as well. What is essential is that the entry barrier to AI and automation be made low, in order to empower everyone.

I agree, up to the point where we are so certain about a freedom that we decide it is not worth having. Say, the freedom to drive on the wrong side of the freeway.

You make a good point: regulation is a clumsy tool, and I don't think it needs to be applied here. However, I'm disappointed in what seem to be the fundamental motivations of Facebook and its board. I'm not sure that anything could come in the way of Mark Zuckerberg's pursuit of maximizing the world's dependence on his product.
One does not need to ever use malloc()/free() or new/delete in C++. For instance, it is very common to use just the DATA and BSS segments in embedded code, and rely on placement-new, which is always deterministic.

Dynamic memory allocation is also a choice in C++.

>There are certainly some very interesting characteristics about our economy right now, but this is not the right articulation. It's more that we are stuck in a liquidity trap, and we can grow our economy without increasing demand on the labor market.

Financial metrics can grow without substantially increasing demand for labor. Most of the nonfinancial economy, however, is stuck in recession or stagnation. The tech sector only differs in being fueled by the flood of capital into VCs.

After the Second Great Depression was narrowly headed off by TARP, we're still stuck waiting for the Second New Deal and Second Post-War Reconstruction.
I'm sorry, I think I made it sound like I was speculating. No, I was reciting the literature on this question. Your claim, that the causality of crime and white flight were reversed, is false. Can you address that (or just concede it) before moving on to new arguments?
At least with the real time applications that I have experience with, this is often mitigated with custom memory allocators which pre-allocate large contiguous blocks before performance critical sections and then parcels out segments of those blocks at runtime.

So I have quite a bit of bias, since I work on a specification in this area. So yes, if you want to make sure it's GNU Social (formerly StatusNet) compatible specifically, use OStatus, which is a number of protocols combined in a specific way.

The most unfortunate part of all this though is that all these different applications, GNU Social, Diaspora, Pump.io, etc all speak different protocols and aren't all really interoperable. This leads to a "fractured federation", which really isn't great. I've been participating in the W3C Social Working Group to try to standardize federation. Here's our spec, ActivityPub:

https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/

Some background: it's derivative of the "Pump API", which is sort of the successor of OStatus, in the sense that the primary author of StatusNet (now GNU Social) wrote the Pump API in response to some perceived shortcomings in OStatus. We've done a lot of analysis to make sure that the protocol can handle all the kinds of things that you expect from the "big player" social networks, but in a federated setting.

Interested? Now's a great time to research and give feedback. We're looking to move to Candidate Recommendation status shortly, which means we're looking for feedback and implementations.

PS: I'm also involved in MediaGoblin, and we definitely intend to implement there. If you're interested in a bit of news from that end, here's a moderately fresh blogpost, including info on how to give your feedback: http://mediagoblin.org/news/tpac-2016-and-review-activitypub...

That's the problem. SubmarineCableMap.com and similar web sites show logical, not physical, representations of the underwater cables. Cables are not that neat and tidy. A proper nautical chart would; I'll pay for it, if I find a downloadable digital one for sale.

I apreciate @CovertShores's diagram showing a general area where cables are believed to be, but we can do better with a nautical chart showing exactly where the cables are, to prove or disprove the RV Yantar is over top of them.

RV Yantar's slow methodical movements suggest they're doing something, but I don't know that it suggests they're tapping cables. It looks more like a search pattern using underwater equipment that moves very slowly.

Towed sonar arrays can usually move ~4kn, so I don't think it's towed sonar. I believe it's a remote operated vehicle sniffing along the ocean's floor, on a tether, and they need to move the ship slowly, at 0.5kn to "keep up" with the ROV at the end of the line.

Are they looking for the cables themselves? Maybe. Are they looking for pre-existing taps on those cables? If they're doing anything to do with underwater cables, I think so. Are they putting their own taps on the lines? Maybe, I can't disprove that, but I'd like charts to show exactly where those underwater cables are, to see if they're even doing something cable related - which is total speculation at this point.

If the cables are shown to be 10 miles away, they're clearly looking at something else.

Isn't it possible the Russians want you to think they're looking at cables, and not helping a stuck submarine, or other unmentioned possibility?
Take serverloft as an example - not a low-cost provider. With your 99$/month server with a 1gps uplink you get "flat bandwidth":

"Fair Use Policy

Use as much bandwidth as required: With all dedicated servers from serverloft, you receive a traffic flat rate free of charge. Here our Fair Use Policy applies, which requires a fair usage of all our resources as well as a reasonable traffic usage.

Therefore, in case the bandwidth exceeds 50 TB on a 1 Gbit/s server during the current billing month, we will decrease the bandwidth to 100 Mbit/s.

You will be able to monitor you current usage in the customer panel. We will also inform you via e-mail should you approach the 50 TB maximum usage. In this case you can purchase additional bandwidth for $10 per TB in order to extend your traffic usage."

So, 99 for the server and 50TB a month. Now if you want to max out your 1gpbs connection, lets say 50% of max (1gbps * 24 * 30 * 60 * 60s/2 TB ~ 160 TB, or a additional commitment of 110 * 10 = 1100+99 = grand total of 1200 dollars a month. How much transfer does that get you out of s3? First off, 160TB out of S3 each month, clocks in at 13227$ for just the bandwidth - not including the any storage. For the price of 160TB on dedicated, you get approximately 12TB on s3 (again without storage).

120TB out from cloudfront? 25693/month.

Now, one, low-end box might not be enough to keep everything going, but notice the price difference here. If you bought four "low-end" boxes you'd get 200TB of bandwidth included, and still be paying a lot less than for just the bandwidth on S3. It might even be cheaper to rent dedicated boxes set up as caching proxies, than to serve your data from s3/cloud-front...

Now, I'm not saying the cloud doesn't have merit, but just pointing out that the price difference is real.

It sounds like you're conflating UX and UI? The UI can differ massively within an overarching consistent UX.
As another commenter noted, it would not be cost effective to lose a whole seat just to sell a few more drinks, overpriced though they be. But it seems like they could increase sales in sort of the same way by distributing free or discounted drink vouchers to a select few passengers, and effectively turn those real passengers into "purchasers".
>You seem to be misinterpreting me quite often. It's ONE issue. A development environment which is not multithreaded, is not very advanced.

Seriously, give the comma a break! It's starting to actually confuse me.

Anyways, on the subject at hand... A lot of the work Emacs does is either 1) manipulating text onscreen, where multithreading doesn't matter, or 2) communicating with subprocesses, which is usually pretty close to multithreading in any case. MT would be nice, but it's not as important as you think it is.

>No surprise: Blub paradox at work. Your tools limit your thought.

Oh, it totally sucks that there's no MP, it's just that there's usually a workaround: This is Unix, not DOS: we can spawn processes if we have to.

>Most Lisp-based development environment have much better UIs. For example in LispWorks or on a Lisp Machine the keychords are shorter.

If I want shorter keychords, then I'll bind them myself. I'm not sure if you've noticed, but the rest of us don't have Knight keyboards at our desks: We have to make do with what we've got.

>The Dynamic Windows UI of the Lisp Machine is still light-years ahead of anything GNU Emacs.

You keep saying that, and have yet to show an adequate example. This seems to show that Emacs's UI is adequate. And for editing text, the thing I use my editing environment most for, it is.

>Here I made a demo how the documentation system works on the Symbolics. It uses Zmacs (the Emacs editor on the Lisp Machine, which Stallman used before he developed GNU Emacs) a component to write documentation records. This stuff had been developed in the mid-end 80s...

It's a bit nicer than Emacs's, I'm willing to admit, but it's quite close, actually.

>Here Kalman Reti gives a demo of a Lisp Listener on the Symbolics and debugging mixed Lisp/C code:

That is actually genuinely cool, but it's not something we can have anymore: Most of us are on UNIX platforms, which don't really allow for this kind of debugging quite as well as the old Smalltalk/Lisp systems. But Emacs does have GDB integration, which is the next best thing.
Well, there are the famous ones. I'd bet facebook would have been treated differently if Mark Zuckerberg were black. You also probably automatically make guesses about people's race online.

Yes, but in this case we know when the allocations will occur, and when they will be freed. If using a GC we know when they will occur, but do not know when they will be freed. Which means that at some indeterminate point in the future there will be a large temporary slowdown due to processing the GC.

This is one of the bigger reasons people use C++ and even techniques within it to explicitly collect such items at a known point in time. (Techniques such as marking items as dead in an array but still keeping them in there until the end of frame, etc)
>> He will likely increase tensions on the world stage.

> While Trumps opponent openly warns Russia of consequences. Lets be objective now.

Yes, let's. Russia is not an ally. There are consequences to its aggression.

Trump, on the other hand, has repeatedly said we should extract more money from our allies in east asia, and that we should threaten to withdraw from Japan and South Korea. These are scenarios China and Russia would love to see play out.

Trump argues NATO is obsolete. He defends Russia's annexation of Crimea, and he thinks we should give up Aleppo to Russian-friendly Assad.

He thinks he knows more than the generals. At the same time, he claims he never thought about this stuff during his time as a businessman.

The alternative to nuclear war is the proxy wars you see playing out in the middle east. Any concessions are gobbled up by whichever side backs down.
