The limitations of power have put a choke-hold on the future you and I read about in science fiction. After the power issue is solved the next problem will be heat I think.

Solve the power problem and we'll see a huge jump in technology. Right now they are trying to solve it by making more and more efficient processors that use less power and perform better over the same amount of time.

I've seen them do it in real time. When politically unfavorable hashtags start trending, they will often suddenly disappear off the trending list.

If I ever do get a smartwatch, it would be because it's a sensor. I think the health/medical/biohacking potential there is huge. The only thing is - must it really be on my wrist, and do I really need to look at it or touch/push buttons on it?

A lot of Android Wear watches have an always-on screen option. A Huawei Watch lasts ~2 days with the screen always on and light usage.
Cost him twice as much, with the added benefit that it gives the person the right to mention their double major twice in every sentence they speak/write.
Their bet is wrong. Ai is definitely the future, but people dont want Ai driving everything they do, people want control, they feel liberated when they can control something so much from ones hands, this is half the reason adoption of smart watches is so small. Its not held in the hand, but worn. The steering and control of a powerful vehicle, boat, car etc, we dont want these things automated. Apple is on the wrong track, I agree with that but dont believe the reason to be a lack of adoption in the Ai arena. Apple's design choices since Jobs checked out have been inferior to its previous conceptions, that will be their downfall, and that has no comparison to Balmer.
Another point the author fails to see is that Apple is not so much an innovator as much as they are a good perfectionist. They didnt create the OS, the Smartphone, the Mobile OS, etc. They simply waited for these things to pickup mass user adoption, they looked closed at refining the points that users complained about, then they created their own version of said product, should they choose to go into Ai, this is how it will be done, after the world has spoken its gripes on the current Ai offerings.
"I guess I also have rights to ask for something, which I do, and I guess I also have all the rights to talk about something that I've been waiting for, for a long time."

Yes, you do. You can also ask for it in a reasonable way instead of being a dick, which led to the downvotes in combination with your excessive arrogance in the edits. This isn't that hard to figure out.
If they want us to be responsible, then they need to give us what we need when we say we need it. You're saying they should be able to make us cut corners and then support it. You don't get to have your cake and eat it, too.
As a native of England and not an economics professor I feel here it's because it's the only alternative to buying (many can't buy) and there's still a juicy percentage of combined monthly wages /not/ spent on rent up for grabs. The market is bearing the increases by not saving, reducing food spend, etc.
>Which is exactly my point

Which is what? It was not just the case, the guts are also different. I never claimed they are unique, but they surely are different. You can downvote me all you want, but saying the current Mac Pro is iteration/just a case and not a different product is wrong.

>In what way? Seriously. You said it was "off the shelf" components and then it somehow has more capable hardware? How does that work? Because it has a unique cooling mechanism?

I know I've said this before, but if you go to http://apple.com/mac-pro/, you can clearly see how it is more capable compared to older generation.
Your best bet in this situation is probably entrepreneurial, in fact, because that path lets you believe in yourself and your ideas. But you will need the inclination to follow through and that is ultimately a matter of finding the ambition and direction when your environment discourages it, to which I have no specific advice, as it just takes time and reflection. I can share a bit of my own story: graduated, took one job, then moved back home and have stayed there for six years. In that period, gradually broke down my previous self image, based on what my parents instilled, and constructed a new one that was able to reevaluate their thoughts and advice in light of my actual situation, was less taken in by "business pop culture", and would put in the effort to make the appointments and write the documents and fill out the forms without panicking.

Finally, at 30 I started to push hard and have found some kind of start a little over a year later. What tipped me over the edge was knowing that I could, in fact, run out of time to try stuff abstractly as I had been doing. I had to commit in a more concrete way to my goals or it would just get harder. And the thought of not doing it, not making things happen, terrified me much more than any of the details of actually doing it. Have not looked back since!
> You discover that there is rarely something new under the sun.

The only people I've heard say this are those who are ignorant enough of the actual state of the art to think they've seen everything out there. If the field still has people researching it academically, you haven't seen everything under the sun.

The US isn't getting him for anything. The US has filed no charges against him. He is wanted by Sweden to answer questions regarding rape allegations and not regarding any charges in the US.

His claim that the rape allegations are a setup by the US make little sense. If the US were to set him up in order to have him extradited from another country Sweden would be far down the list of countries to chose. The terms of Sweden's extradition laws and previous court rulings on extradition cases make it very unlikely the US would be successful in extraditing him.

His behavior strikes me more as that of someone guilty and desperate to avoid punishment. Maybe I am wrong but he could have cleared the whole thing up long ago by returning to Sweden.
Interesting this should pop up, a few weekends ago I put together a simple quick search for ICD-10 codes (and Radlex, a radiology specific lexicon) at http://lex.orionmd.com. I'm sure there are other more powerful tools out there, but feel free to play around!
Hm I never used a laptop and thought, I wish this machine had a higher wattage.
So your entire thesis really is higher educated people are better equipped to contribute in economic affairs

While poor people focus on immediate needs

There's plenty of rigorous research in this area to show that being poor and struggling actually creates mental barriers to achieving success

I'm going to keep leaning on that versus the blog post of some objectivist who peddles around stats to make up whatever argument fits his world view

What if Enron or Lehman Brothers utterly fail? What about taxes on stock gains?

I think property taxes in US already vary a lot from state to state. It certainly vary also from country to country. It's something you need to be aware to take a decision on whether it's a good investment or not.

Ultimately, all these costs are also embedded into renting price.
That code is more readable than I expected. :)
May you share more about the experience of using it? Do you keep a blog?
Some people plan ahead / take advantage of sales.

Strange, I know. I don't get it either.
Haven't they figured out yet that telling the time is the thing that smart watches do the worst.

instead, i want a band. I'm still waiting for an Android Wear band. i want something a bit like the Microsoft band 2 [1], but slimmer and a smaller screen. something as a notification device and to take voice notes. but i don't need it to replace my watch because it's not "on" when i look at it.

For telling the time, I'll either wear a "proper" watch (as well) or none at all.

[1] I'm on my 3rd ms band. they randomly die (stop charging). ms are good about it and replace it quickly... but soon my warranty will be up and it's all over.

Doom 2 is on sale on steam form less than $5. So it's easy to get legal Wads these days. It wasn't so easy in the early 2000s.
My Nexus 4 was (at the time, 2013) huge to me because I had just switched from a tiny little qwerty flip phone. Getting used to it took forever, but my number one problem was making it fit on me without being bulky or getting scratched up/damaged.

Mind you I had a blue collar job at the time so there was a lot of opportunity for phone destruction.
So it's completely useless then

Right now the business of funding startups seems hypersaturated. Literally every day I discover someone new hanging out their shingle to fund startups...and that isn't even counting the countless others who fund as individuals without creating a vanity nameplate for their investment activities. So my question is...why does Initialized need to exist?
I gave a more complete overview of ES6 (and ES2016 and so on) features at a user group last month. Slides:

http://files.meetup.com/11421852/WhatsNewInJavaScript.pdf

The slides are mostly code examples and I tried to go for completeness rather than detail, so there are some mentions you don't normally see in these overviews (e.g. the article doesn't mention proxies).

Yeah, it would be more likely that the US would extradite directly from the UK then try to get Sweden to extradite him on some pretext so that they could get him from Sweden.
I'm using it server-side, so yea, you're not wrong.
You have probably used one and thought "this laptop is slow, I wish it were faster."
As the comments in that article pointed out - the hassle far outweighs the value. After not wearing a watch for over 20 years, I've had an Apple Watch for about 3 months now (it was a free gift), and honestly, as much as the device is useful, it is a pain - especially when it comes to battery life.

The charge seems to last just enough to fall flat at the most inconvenient times, i.e. when I am just about to leave the house all day, or right when I am about to go to bed (I use the watch primarily for sleep tracking).

Most of the apps on the watch kind of require you to wear it consistently all of the time to give you meaningful data, however current battery life means you end up with large gaps in your human telemetry that your data is always missing vital chunks.
Can someone make a super-low energy, classic looking watch with GPS? For people with Alzheimer's / Dementia. Could make a kids version too.

They have GPS watches, but the battery seems to last maybe a day or two. My dad isn't going to remember to do that, so I would need to do so on a less frequent basis.

Maybe with some self-charging based on user movement (they used to make self-winding watches)? Keep GPS off until receive (authenticated) SMS message asking it to turn on, then report back position? Or maybe just triangulate position based on cell towers every 15 min...
What would be the benefit for them lowering their prices ever? It's not like they're going to get more customers that way, or have fewer customers with higher prices. People use MS products pretty much independent of cost. They could raise their OS prices to 10x the current costs and no one's going to switch.
I've been wanting one but given their prices and longevity I rather just get a nicer phone.
I honestly thought that was one possible outcome of Project Ara if Google decided that the phone's component inventory didn't literally need to be connected to the base station. It would have made sense to extend Ara communication to BLE, Zigbee or some other low power wireless rather than wired interface. But that dream died with the Ara project itself. Oh well.
I hate this argument that companies are completely void of all emotion. You could just as easily say that no one cares about privacy and that taking a stand is a bad financial decision. Given the amount of bad press Apple got for their stand against the FBI, that doesn't seem like a very difficult argument to make.

So given that it's not very hard to make the arguments that standing up for privacy might be or might not be a good financial decision, why would you think the decision Tim Cook chose had absolutely nothing to do with his life experiences?

EDIT: Another comment chain had this quote from Tim Cook in a shareholders meeting that I think illustrates my point. From https://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/tim-cook-soundly-rej...:

""When we work on making our devices accessible by the blind," he said, "I don't consider the bloody ROI." He said that the same thing about environmental issues, worker safety, and other areas where Apple is a leader."
Erm, there is a website for W2202XA: http://w2202xa.com/
Ditto—I love mine and am anxiously awaiting delivery of my next one. For me, it doesn't have to replace a smartphone, it just has to make it much easier for me to see and categorize the influx of information. It answers the question of (1) did I just feel my phone buzz? and (2) if so, do I need to read/respond right now.

Since I previously wore watches, I find it natural to wear. And because I never had luxury watches (Seiko was my ceiling), I don't mind that smartwatches aren't fancier-looking. I understand that watch-nevers and timepiece aficionados may feel differently...

> Are we ever going to see a cyberpunk future?

We didn't get to see a steampunk future starting with the early 1900s even though books like Jules Verne's were quite popular at the time (and quite some time after that), so I don't think we're going to see a cyberpunk future anytime soon, if ever. The best that we can do is to re-watch shows like "Akira" and think about what could have been.
It's true! We got one each when they first came out on Kickstarter, then I bought a Steel because it looked nicer, then we both got Times when they came out, then I got her a Round because she liked the look. counts Oh wait, that's 6. And the last one was in December... so actually, we're part of the reason for the YoY decline!

How recently have you tried to do so? I tried a couple of months ago to set up a Gmail account with a Google Voice number for verification, and it refused to let me with a message which I recall as being vaguely like "This is not an acceptable verification number".

Mainly because you feel like an utter prat walking down the street talking to your wrist. Had an original G Watch and truly felt like the biggest ck saying "Ok Google, remind me to do XYZ".

It had 3 uses: 1) seeing who's ringing and dismissing calls in meetings where you left the ringtone on 2) being able to read full message threads through the notifications without having to "read" them in the apps (sneaky for Messenger and Hangouts) 3) pretending you're not a tourist by getting navigation directions on the wrist rather than being obvious and looking at your phone.

Suffice to say, I now wear a nice normal watch that I love dearly.

The biggest issue for me with the "smartwatch" is that they don't have feature parody with dumb watches. I've had many watches in the past and the battery lasts for years. I can also turn my wrist and see the time instantly. Who would have thought?

What I get now is some piece of crap that needs to be charged every night. So I basically have no features while I'm sleeping. I can't just wake up in the middle of the night an instantly know what the time is.

As a battery saving measure, the time isn't displayed until I turn my wrist and wait some obscene amount of time (around a second?). It also goes from being dark to being lit... so much for being discrete.

I wish they would stop calling these things "watches" just because they go on your wrist. I expect anything called a watch to have the features of a watch and be on my wrist pretty much all of the time. Call it a fitness tracker if it's not meant to be worn 24/7.

Let me know when battery life is within a couple of orders of magnitude of real watches, then maybe I'll revisit.
The gear S2 has a similar rotating bezel, though it's less obviously looking at it. The strap design on the S2 is awful- too easy to break. Good to see they are moving to normal watch bands. One thing that would keep me from buying a samsung again is if they stick with SVoice instead of letting you use Google voice search (especially with Google Assistant)

The amount of code required just to write a "hello, world" is ridiculous.

This thing that we programmers do is supposed to (I thought) reduce the complexity of writing code so we can focus on the problem. This takes it to a whole new level of "where the hell is the code that's actually doing what I want it to".

It may work great and be horribly useful. But having to dig thru 4 subdirs just to get to the code that actually does something ... that was a horrible experience.
The MacBook has an i5 or an i7, yes, and it also has fans, so it doesn't throttle so heavily on high workloads. It makes playing some games on low settings possible, which I appreciate.

Aside from the obvious omission of cost of living, you're also conflating income with wealth.
I'm wondering why no one discusses that Q3 was the Quarter right before new Apple Watch introduction, and Apple owns a majority share in the market? Of course people were waiting to buy a new device. Q4/Q1 will be more relevant.

> until they can replace phones entirely

I.e. never? I mean, I can picture making phone calls or dictating SMS by voice with a smart watch, but people are not going to be browsing the web or taking pictures with a tiny wrist device when they already have a 5-6" inches display device on their pockets, and almost no one would ditch the latter for the former if they had to choose.

I think it's likely that smart watches will continue to be niche devices for the foreseeable future, at very least until someone figures out a killer feature that sets them apart from smartphones.
Lets play with some hypotheticals...

If this happened in a day it would be complete pandemonium. Probably the collapse of globalization as we know it. But Humanity would survive and eventually rebuild.

If this happened in a century it would be gradual enough that republicans could keep denying as they sign the Tulsa/Denver/Omaha International port creation act of 2116.

A decade would be undeniable and would have costs both in life and money. What would those costs really look like? Would we evacuate and build new ports fast enough to keep something that looks like the modern system?

What does this look like in a single gradual year? Port takes time to open and people take time to evacuate. Would the population of New Orleans become residents in a suburb of Omaha on the Bay of Texas? Or could we muster something halfway organized?

Well I imagine the needs of inner-city-poor and rural-poor are often different, to pick two extremes. But I myself have never lived either of those lives, and I've only interacted with the rural-poor (through volunteer organizations). So, I can't really know their needs. But where I'd start, is with what I might call the "forbidden subjects" - stuff you and I probably learned from our families, if we were lucky. Interpersonal relationship skills, managing personal finances, and probably most importantly, mental patterns/attitudes/habits/priorities for more effective use of the mind. (Because complacency is effectively the "default state" of the amygdala. And combined with ignorance of the mind's ways, it can only stay that way.)

If you can stomach some underground hip hip, here's a track by Dead Prez for one anecdotal inner-city perspective: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8IUbVQRqAk
__proto__ !== prototype

One points to the parent of an object and the other points to the object's prototype (which in turn has it's own `__proto__ property). Accessing `prototype` is just fine, but if you want to access `__proto__` then you should use `Object.create()` instead.

> 5. How do you reconcile a basic income with open immigration, which we seem to be moving towards? A basic income in the US would probably be greater than the yearly income of most working people in the world.

Surely only citizens would get basic income? If an immigrant wants it, they'll have to become a naturalized citizen which takes enough effort that they probably deserve it.
