This observation is either profound or trivial, depending on the mindset. The hundred-fold improvements it brings (along with the immutability) are not trivial, by any measure.
Google indexes content, and displays it by relevance to your query and overall relevance (e.g. PageRank). The idea that Google and FB should be in the business of discriminating truth from falsehood is one of the most naive ideas to come out of this election cycle.

As a kid I cried at times because learning foreign words, lists of topological places, or events in history was so hard! If I don't get the structure or context I am so lost.

At electrical engineering they still tried to teach me in the same way. Giving me assignments with little context. What saved me in the end were textbooks and the internet.

The easiest way for me to understand new concepts are the subsequent generalizations or extremes. Complex numbers? Quaternions. Gradients? Clifford algebra. Sets? Categories. Fourier transform? Wavelets.

Sure there might be people who benefit from solving the puzzles from their teachers, but it assumes that every mind works the same way.
I wish I could. I don't see how CHina could capture SSL traffic in terms of inspection, but my networking knowledge is limited.

Re: higher SSL latency, my best guess is either under-provisioned routing hardware or intentional throttling.

More generally, the network topology in mainland is a lot different than networks in other countries. There are 3 main ISPs that aren't as readily peered together as they are elsewhere. (From what I understand, if you were to run a hosting company inside China for example, you would want - or need - to have deals in place with each ISP).
Just got my 13" two days ago and very happy with it so far. I had a 13" before, got a 15" at work and my girlfriend has the 12". I was almost ready for a 12" myself, and am glad I waited. Although it is noticeably heavier than the 12", and not really objectively that much lighter than the previous versions, the new 13" has the same "just pick it up with one hand" feel that the 12" has. It is wonderful.

My 2 year old daughter has watched me unlock it with my thumb and tries to do the same without succeeding :-) And she can't mess up the password input field either, because there is none. (She can get my iPad into a "reset" state in seconds that I have to then recover from backup. I still have no idea how she does it).

I did have to remove the Siri button from the toucher because (a) it is too close to the delete key and (b) I just don't need Siri that often. The UI for that is pretty neat, by the way: the mouse is able to move into the touchbar, so you can just drag'n'drop into and out of it.

Since I remap my modifiers anyway (caps-lock -> control, where god and Digital Equipment Corporation intended the control key to go), I had no problem mapping the now largely useless control key to escape, although I haven't had a problem with the soft escape key yet. Nice benefit: bringing up the force-quit panel is now very easy.

I really like the USB-C so far, will be far fewer cables and power adapters on upcoming trips. While MagSafe was nice, I won't miss the always fraying cables, especially since they were permanently attached to the power brick, so frayed cable → new brick.

I was surprised how quickly the TouchBar became unremarkable, though the fact that there is a single button to open a man-page for the currently typed command in Terminal is definitely kinda cool! Volume/brightness adjustments take a little more looking (for now), though the fact that you can scrub from the "key" without lifting despite that the control is elsewhere makes it pretty easy. And scrubbing media via the TouchBar is definitely way, way less fiddly than via on-screen controls.

The keyboard looks much classier than my previous MBP's, and I prefer the feel. But then again, I seem to be weird when it comes to keyboards, for example I loved the Amiga 1000 keyboard and hated the big-travel, clicky/noisy keyboards on the original IBM PCs that everyone else still raves about.

EDIT: 95% battery, watching youtube video, 7h+ remaining.
We currently have all the means to prevent a catastrophic climate change. But we are not using them. It seems to be controversial to replace coal with wind and solar. How would you expect even more radical engineering project to succeed? Besides, in between would be a collapse of our civilization - something we really should try to prevent.
When I was visiting India roughly a decade ago, I was told that it was very common for gas stations to bulk gasoline with kerosine. Apparently kerosine is heavily subsidized by the state as it's used for cooking by poor people, so it's a lot cheaper than gasoline.

The problem with this is that it reduces the octane rating of the fuel, and as a result cars in India are apparently commonly detuned in order to avoid knocking when running on low octane gas.

That being said, bulking up gasoline with kerosine sounds like a less bad idea than using water, as I'd guess the water phase separates from the gasoline.
You're both in agreement.
Of course. But you can't deny there are classes of problems you completely dodge by using native UI components instead of a web view, especially when it comes to touch events and scroll accelerations.

I'll shut up now and write something up once I deploy an app to multiple platforms ;)
The jargon file [http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/H/hacker.html] is a more appropriate source of definition here. It defines the term "hacker" as follows:

"hacker: n.
[originally, someone who makes furniture with an axe]

1. A person who enjoys exploring the details of programmable systems and how to stretch their capabilities, as opposed to most users, who prefer to learn only the minimum necessary. RFC1392, the Internet Users' Glossary, usefully amplifies this as: A person who delights in having an intimate understanding of the internal workings of a system, computers and computer networks in particular.

2. One who programs enthusiastically (even obsessively) or who enjoys programming rather than just theorizing about programming.

3. A person capable of appreciating hack value.

4. A person who is good at programming quickly.

5. An expert at a particular program, or one who frequently does work using it or on it; as in ‘a Unix hacker’. (Definitions 1 through 5 are correlated, and people who fit them congregate.)

6. An expert or enthusiast of any kind. One might be an astronomy hacker, for example.

7. One who enjoys the intellectual challenge of creatively overcoming or circumventing limitations.

8. [deprecated] A malicious meddler who tries to discover sensitive information by poking around. Hence password hacker, network hacker. The correct term for this sense is cracker.

The term ‘hacker’ also tends to connote membership in the global community defined by the net (see the network. For discussion of some of the basics of this culture, see the How To Become A Hacker FAQ. It also implies that the person described is seen to subscribe to some version of the hacker ethic (see hacker ethic).

It is better to be described as a hacker by others than to describe oneself that way. Hackers consider themselves something of an elite (a meritocracy based on ability), though one to which new members are gladly welcome. There is thus a certain ego satisfaction to be had in identifying yourself as a hacker (but if you claim to be one and are not, you'll quickly be labeled bogus). See also geek, wannabee.

This term seems to have been first adopted as a badge in the 1960s by the hacker culture surrounding TMRC and the MIT AI Lab. We have a report that it was used in a sense close to this entry's by teenage radio hams and electronics tinkerers in the mid-1950s."
That's a very dangerous proposition, and one that makes state (or corporate) control of speech normalized. I personally don't think that should be the first option explored as a solution. Perhaps "real" news sources should spend more effort educating people on how they provide a superior product. Explain that all news sources aren't the same... make sure that sinks in to people. Of course that will mean they'll have to spend a little less time covering the Kardashian's.

Anyway, I'd rather let adults be adults and not "protected" from bad words and bad ideas. Let the market place of ideas provide a forum for debate.

Point 3 is the one that matters. We still have the ability to keep our current civilization alive. We don't even have to change our life style at a large scale. Switching from coal and oil to solar and wind should be a no brainer. It is even widely cost-efficient. People, who think that a few windmills are an offensive sight, are not considering how different life for all of us would be, if we do not act in time.

Interesting format - Using the lead graf as a summary isn't new, but pairing that with the main body being unstructured notes (as opposed to more formal prose) is new. Would be useful to have those notes link (medium style) to the right place in an ebook.
This MacBook Pro has given me good reasons to learn to build a custom PC. I am okay dual booting or visualizing OS X in Linux or Windows.

On the other hand, I am impressed how Asus, Dell and Razor has allowed use of external desktop top notch NVIDIA graphics card in their laptops along with USB C and RAID support while keeping system upgradable.

Hackers? Looks like hackers mean people who like gadgets in his post. They are NOT hackers at least.

If hackers mean software/hardware engineer or someone who like programming, a laptop with only USB-C ports is a total disaster because hackers usually have to deal with legacy hardware/system.
I appreciate the feedback, always take that onboard.

1. The bug in your first screenshot is completely my fault and not the frameworks. Something I need to look into definitely.

2. While I would like the forecast to scroll at 60fps on low-end Android devices, I do not consider it a high priority. You might not agree, but the scroller works as it should albeit not at 60fps on lower end devices. iPhone5S onwards and later model Android devices run at the desired fps.

3. Multitouch is intentionally disabled on the map view, but if I was to include it I would use something like hammer.js which is a great js library for multitouch support.

I cant judge React Native as I have not had the time to dive into it. I will say phonegap was one of the easier frameworks I have worked with and it has definitely served me well with many users on multiple platforms.

There is no disputing there are many shoddy web apps wrapped up with phonegap and dumped on App Store/Google Play. They instantly leave a negative impression and do affect people's opinions on web apps. However, those web apps that are great, you dont even know they are web apps! They run so flawlessly that it doesn't register in your mind that it is infact a web app and not native.
I'm using a similar solution, namely a file I edit in org-mode. Here are the advantages I've found so far:

- org-mode or text files in general make it easy to add contextual information, additional notes etc. Bookmarks can finally tell a story.

- in org-mode (or Markdown), the bookmark file is well-readable as is in the editor

- bookmarks can be rearranged and regrouped quickly if need be

- (org-mode at least makes) links to different sections of bookmarks within the same file possible. For this reason, I personally don't use tags but follow a hierarchical structure with intra-document references if need be (e.g. if a group of bookmarks can be considered to be part of two different higher-level groups)

- searching is only one grep or one Ctrl+F away. In case of imprecise search terms, the additional hierarchical structure helps.

- Easy and privacy-preserving synchronization among devices using git

And here are the disadvantages:

- No browser integration; bookmarks always have to be added and looked up manually which is particularly cumbersome on a phone.
If you're wondering if it's (supermemo) worth your time, let me share with you my 10 (ten) years supermeme learning conclusions.

I got supermemo advanced english course (20k phrases) around 2004 as a present and started it in 2005. Initially I thought it will take 2..4 years. Exactly 10 years later, on September 2015 I was at 19k. I reached last 20k phrase (but not finished the course) around spring 2016. I ended doing it in August 2016. I learned every day around 10..15 minutes. During those 10 years I had around 3 breaks of 2..4 weeks each which of course resulted in huge amount to material to rehearse after the break. I had multiple one day slips.

My conclusions:

* I would did it again!!

* It was tough and I was thinking of stopping multiple times

* The biggest thing I got is grit (will power) strengthening - I didnt expect it, and IT IS GREAT

* Of course better english command came also with the course :)

* It impacted (in subtle) ways my approach to learning, which I see much better now with implementing on my own repeating strategies on every possible area

* Use supermemo mobile apps (it was not possible in 2005)

* For foreign languages, db with sound is ultra worthy - I picked up much better pronounciation on the way, while didnt expect it.

Ask me if you want to know more.

Trivia: I had to have virtualbox VM with old windows xp on my every laptop, just to have supermemo installed and available there :)
But isn't this project dead? MoSync also comes to mind. It had a nice cross-platform C++ API.

128-bit Primitives for Rust (RFC 1504)
I value the spirit of passing something on, but I despise the inequality that emerges from repeated iteration.

The value lies in long term thinking, sustainability. A farmer can either maintain the soil, carefully rotating crops so that it will be able to feed future generations as good or better than his predecessors, or he can go for the agricultural equivalent of strip mining and move on to the next plot when the previous one is depleted.

But when you replace the soil with fungible assets, all that long term thinking benefit goes out the window. Sticking to the farming example, repeated slash and burn farming will only encourage more of the same, as long as there is something left to burn. Larger operators will grow faster than smaller ones, and after a few generations, when there is nothing left to burn, the descendants of those who burnt the most will employ the losers to tend the desert.
I believe mutual cooperation is more important than competition.

Reasons I have been "down for maintenance" in the past.

- Moving from AWS to our own datacenter.
- Payment processor issues. We weren't making money with the payment processor down... “down for maintenance” meant lower customer service costs.
- Because the CEO told me to. I shit you not. Be wary of working for someone has a name that sounds like it belongs on a bond villan.
- Because sometimes you NEED all the resources to get something done quickly
- In the days before AWS and "cloud computing" you only had hardware on hand. It is hard to get your boss to budget for a traffic spike of one hour that is greater than the sum of the previous 6 months of traffic.
- Because non technical people have access to technology: It was just some javascript -or- I didn't think I needed to tell you before I emailed 5 million people with an offer for free stuff -or- why is everything on sale for %25 off ....
- Because load and time and complex systems sometimes do funny things together, "maintenance" means were getting enough data reproduce it finally.
- The very beginning of a DDOS attack (only for some industries & sites)
Or they were typing on a phone which "autocorrected" it. Happens to me all the time.
Because they want a RESTful endpoint, not JSON-over-SQL. Would you open that up as a public API with free registration? How do you do access control using OAuth? How would you do stuff like convert images to thumbnails, extract text from PDFs or send an email?
I recently created two shell scripts.

1) site

It just adds sites to a list and has basic parameters like "list", "edit", etc. I really like the fact that I can do it from the shell and vim. I often get requests for online information, so cb (clipboard) saves another mouse movement. For me, the quicker I can respond, the higher the chance I'm not out of my flow.

2) note

And yes, I'm getting difficulties with flow at times. For example, I'm working on something and need to reorganize a certain datastructure. Something like note "make logmvnpdf.m row-friendly" serves as a todo list, but most importantly does help me continue my flow on starting next day again.

Everything I can move from the browser (time sink) to my shell (productivity) I get really happy about!
I made something similar [0] for Pentadactyl [1], a vim-like extension for Firefox.

By pressing Cmd-D the user is prompted to enter a tag, and after that a .webloc (essentialy a link) file is created in a subfolder determined by the tag name.

The location to store the files in can be configured (i.e. some Dropbox folder, so that bookmarks are automatically shared).

This has the advantage that it's:

* instantly searchable using the same search interface like everything else (Spotlight)

* forwards compatible - no need to import/export bookmarks when switching browsers

* distributed - bookmarks are instantly and automatically distributed (Dropbox)

* automatically backed up forever (Dropbox)

I'm not using Firefox right now, so the extension might be out of date. Maybe time to port it to Chrome/Safari :)

There's significantly less incentive to do that when you don't have to. Or, in other words - why would a Polish worker do that any more than a Dutch person, when both of them are otherwise there entirely legally?
I took understanding as meaning motivation. If I was teaching electric fields I wouldn't start with the equations. Perhaps I'd start by demonstrating what an electric field is (e.g. http://practicalphysics.org/electric-fields.html), then perhaps how it's useful, and then open the discussion of what it's properties are. You can then relate the properties back to the demonstrations and applications.

One thing to remember is that any probe past Mars is almost certainly going to use an RTG over solar panels. This means that you will always have an exponentially decaying power supply (wattage goes down over time if you use it or not). This is how voyager was powered, and because of the power drain, they had to turn off more instruments as time goes on.
I don't think they exist because of morals. If you want a country that is thriving, lower classes should have a good living standard. The lower class is the basis of any country. Even if you have very smart people at the top, they can't do a lot if the people under them can't count or have poor health.

I believe that if you set a good minimum standard, it will trickle up.

Also if you don't want riots in the streets, you should make sure the lower classes are living decently.

That's not morals, that political intelligence. Crowds with empty stomachs are a political nightmare.
Maybe. The funny thing is that, as is always the case, other interpretation it's possible too: only societies with excedents can afford super rich.
There's no such thing if you have a database.

RJ45 doesn't refer to Ethernet. In fact, there doesn't seem to be such a thing as RJ45.

There's an RJ45S, but that's definitely nothing to do with Ethernet. Use of the term RJ45 is simply wrong, in any circumstance, as far as I can tell.

There's no term for the use of 8P8C for Ethernet purposes other than well, Ethernet, or its specific profiles ...BASE-T, as far as I can tell.
I grew up multicultural. Austrian mum, Indian dad; Swissman weekending in Saudi Arabia then moving to Cupertino and studying at ASU. I never belonged in one place and saw that as a weakness. But heterogeneity has strength. It forces you to reconcile values from their primitives. This is tough, but I think it makes you stronger.

I remember everyone who shat on me. Swimming against a culture is different from being a contrarian. One is challenging the fundamental premises of a people; the other is innovating within them. The former is biologically designed to hurt.

Corollary: call your friends when they are fired. I remember everyone who called me when I quit my first job.The congratulations? Can't remember one.

TL;DR Engage where others aren't engaging. At a minimum, you will reap rare cognitive primitives.
Heh. I think think the sociopathic conclusion would be to claw one's way to the top no matter what. The compassionate conclusion would be to reduce inequality, so all benefit.
The expected return of a year is not independent of the year before. Rudimentary models that many financial advisors use don't account for that. Even the more sophisticated folks don't account for it enough as I think is appropriate. They think they've observed dozens of years and the evidence says it's nearly impossible for the market to go down (as a whole) over a ten-year period. I think they've observed only a handful of decades and therefore should have very low certainty.

I'm still heavily invested in the stock market. I just think you should be very cautious in your assumption of how much money you need to live comfortably on interest/dividends in perpetuity.
Then what is the problem? Why is it that grown adults have a hard time respecting the traditional news media more than random sources? That's the crux of the issue that needs to be explored rather than reactionary authoritarianism.
