California is by far the largest contributor to the US's GDP. It's quite literally California's money that funds our federal programs and corporate tax breaks. California leaving the union would kindof obliterate the union's economy. Also, California is physically connected to the US. What circumstances are you imagining where the feds just let CA mosey on off and do their own thing?
That doesn't at all address the point of the argument. Given the following

- an assumption that you can generate an algorithm to express behavior indistinguishable from a human's at a given task, and
- an implementation of the algorithm at a macroscopic scale, carried out by individual humans, each executing a small part of the algorithm

then, where in this system would you say that an actual understanding of the task exists? Google Translate doesn't pass the first requirement.

EDIT: I skimmed the article and my previous answer was completely wrong.

The BSD implementation is quicksort, which doesn't have a duplicate (AKA auxiliary) array. Their implementation of mergesort has an auxiliary/duplicate array for the actual merging - that's common. In-place mergesorts exist, but the effort isn't usually worth it.

You can, however, eliminate the need for copying to the duplicate array (which they may do) by invoking sort twice - once takes input from the actual array and puts the sorted output in the duplicate, and the second takes from the duplicate and puts it back into the default. Somehow, you can merge the two together to speed up the algorithm (I personally don't know how, however they can be found implemented here: http://algs4.cs.princeton.edu/22mergesort/MergeX.java.html)

AFAIK Jobs' vision of the post-PC era never meant the PC died or was abandoned. It simply was no longer the only tool in the box. iPads are great. iPhones are great. I have both. But I (and many others, not just developers) need capable and performant desktop computing devices.

I experienced my first earthquake in Japan. I was sleeping with the window open and had a bag hanging on a nearby shelf. I woke up and the wind was blowing, and the bag was shaking. But as I woke up more, I realized that the wind wouldn't really move the heavy bag like that, and then realized that it was the building that was moving and the bag was mostly remaining still.

Rather soothing actually. I always enjoy flights where there are some turbulence; helps me sleep better.

Intriguing idea. Let's talk logistics.

Almost 46% of the land area of the state of California is owned by the US Federal Government through some agency (BLM, National Park Service, DoD, etc) [1], including several key military bases, like Naval Base San Diego, home of the US Pacific Fleet. Furthermore, federally recognized Indian Tribes are domestic dependent nations of the United States and as such tribal authority on Indian land isn't granted by the states in which they appear to be in [2]. The US Government also owns the territorial sea of California further out than 3 nautical miles from the baseline on the shore [3].

These, among others, are issues that would have to be settled.

Example apps are great. But what those example apps are, and what they mean, can vary a lot. Some things that would help, for me:

- Exhaustive inline documentation. Like, consider literate-programming as a model. I want to see thoughts, observations, etc. as I read through the code. I want to know how you think somebody should be thinking. I want notes around "well, because of the way the stdlib works this is O(n^3) when it could be O(n^2), but it's okay for our values of n, we can come back to this." Show me not just what's good, but what kinda isn't but is made up for by other stuff being awesome. Show me where the bodies are buried. Because otherwise, sticking to stacks where I already know and can risk-assess against is a better use of my time.

- Deployment advice. This doesn't mean "throw it in a Docker container", because that's not showing a grasp of the tools around you, but rather, say, open-ended integration with AWS, or Google, or whatever. Show me best practices for configuring it, as I already can see with Rails. And, as above, explain the thinking, explain the value of it, discuss alternatives and why you didn't go that route.

Ultimately, I want to see that whatever tools that I would move to next (I use Ruby for devops-type tasks and Dropwizard for the web) to demonstrate that the developers are intensely thoughtful about the people using their systems, rather than just technology.

I'm on Apple's side on this one.

I know a lot of people who have worked, or currently work, at Apple, and a lot of other Apple fans who buy almost all of their technology products from Apple. I don't think any of them ever bought an Airport.

Airports were a lot more expensive than most consumer routers, and ease of setup is not a huge differentiator. With most routers, you go through the pain of setting them up the day you buy them, and that's it. Even non-technical don't seem to have too much trouble setting up their generic consumer routers.

I would much rather see Apple focus its engineering resources on a good iPhone 7 than waste them on a wifi router that is not nearly as important to the company's ecosystem and revenue.
Last I checked, the google router thing didn't support IPv6. Has that changed? I've been using IPv6 at home with a previous-generation Airport Extreme for over four years.

> Like I said, it has been claimed that all Trump voters are ETs, but I wouldn't expect you to give that any credence.

No, and who would? ETs have not been proven to exist, and if they did, why would they care about our election? This is a silly non-sequitur; please stop derailing the discussion with it.

Back in reality, non-citizen human beings in the USA obviously do exist, and groups have them have been very vocal about the election (going as far as marching in the streets with foreign flags), and articles in real newspapers (not "fake news sites") have been published recently documenting votes by non-citizens in elections, and videos have been published showing Democrat operatives by name and face admitting to committing election fraud.

This shows party, motive, opportunity, and method. What it does not show is to what extent it has occurred. The only source for the "3 million" claim is one person who has not shown his data or methodology, so of course it is not conclusive, and we should be skeptical. However, given the general evidence of fraud and manipulation surrounding this election, it should not be dismissed out-of-hand either. We should follow the lawsuit he is filing and see what happens.

Now, do you actually disagree with anything I just said? If so, please explain why without making silly remarks about ETs.
Functions have the following properties:

(0) A function maps every element of its domain to a unique element of its codomain.

(1) Functions don't exist in time, let alone change over time.

(2) Two functions with the same domain and codomain are equal if they map the same domain elements to the same codomain elements.

Since when do so-called “first-class functions” in most programming languages behave like this?

> Minor nitpick: Someone who is smart enough to crack quantum mechanics, and build a "manual" computer when alone, should be smart enough to figure out a way to find a source of energy so the computation happens automatically.

Not to take this xkcd too seriously but: if he were truly there for infinity (that is, the duration of his existence is infinite), then he wouldn't be in any hurry. Another way to put it is that, in the steady-state sense of things, no means of computation is "noticeably" faster to him than any other (only relatively faster).

Consider that any time difference between events (e.g. the termination of the same calculation performed by different mechanisms) would be infinitesimal compared to the duration of his infinite existence. Also, interestingly, since he is there for eternity then his existence does not really have a start time or end time, as far as he's concerned.

If he wanted to have some real fun with infinity, he might kick off a couple of interacting harmonics in the sand, maybe watch them interact, as anything else - finite - cannot last.

I can't offer too much insight, sorry. But I will say the "quant" fund label is very broad. RenTec and AQR both hire PhDs and use computers to trade, but AQR offers mutual funds with daily liquidity and they publicly disclose much more info - RenTec as a private fund has more flexibility in what it can do. Correspondingly, how a fund uses risk and takes on leverage can make a big difference.

To answer the last question: to define themselves as more than average by joining a community of practice. It is a society where what you do is considerably more distinctive than what you have and where you come from, which is likely to seem strange to us.
"Falsehood" in formal logic means "a contradiction", not "a condition impossible to fulfill." It may be impossible to get a good dictator (except Cincinnatus, Sulla, and maybe Octavian Augustus), but "good dictator" isn't contradictory (as opposed to "neutron star not containing any neutrons" or the like).

And I mentioned a few examples of good dictators in that parenthetical, which suggest some of the requirements necessary to get a good one.

Yes. I'm with the idea of a relational language, and I "discover" the same idea. In most languages,the scalar is the default and the collection is the special case. However, more often than not, you want to operate in collections than scalar.

So, I have find that this kind of code make sense:

for i in 1:
print i

This help to generalize a lot of things.

Doing things in parallel isn't how the org is setup: instead of vertical feature groups like most other companies (a Mac division, a phone division, accessories, etc), the company is split into design/hardware engineering/software. Means you get more integration with each part and less cross-org battles that Microsoft was famous for back in the day. Downside is that when the next iPhone was all hands on deck, they were pulling people off of Mac OS to work on it.

I'm saying that in some ideal counter-historical world, Yugoslavia shouldn't have broken apart. The separations that occurred relied on a lot of ethnic cleansing to draw clear geographic lines between peoples. Without that ethnic cleansing, which is wanton and cruel, you could advocate for self-determination on a house-by-house and apartment-by-apartment basis, which is idiotic and unworkable. Most nation-states are made of several peoples, and the idea of nationhood upon which self-determinationists and secessionists make their argument always leads to a bloodletting.

I don't see any reason for the AirPort. I can only think of a few scenarios with respect to consumers and Wifi:

1. The router they get from their ISP is good enough, they can get support for their internet access and their wifi from one place and they don't mind paying the $7-$10/month. This seems like it would be the easiest for the non-tech user.

2. A combined router/cable modem is desired but you don't want to pay $7-$10/month. Buy a device that is compatible with your cable modem -- again something that I don't see Apple making.

3. You want a separate ISP modem and more advanced wifi router -- the only case that an updated Airport would satisfy.

4. You want an easy to configure mesh network for better coverage -- buy some Eero devices.

5. You want a versatile travel router -- one that can serve as a regular router (ethernet -> wifi bridge), a wifi->ethernet bridge, a wifi->wifi bridge (to create a private network from a public network), or an extender. There is already a $30 router that can accomplish that. I have one of these:

Your perspective is all wrong here. You can't have a high-level description of how the universe works until it is interpreted as such. Thus if someone gave you a piece of paper, their are far more available interpretations than the two you propose. Most likely, you would simply recognize it as something you don't understand. Like say, exactly what most people do when you hand them a book on QFT. They will neither admit it to be true or lunacy, since they do not have the capacity to judge it as either.

If you had a book that explained how the universe worked, it would either have to explain it in a step-by-step fashion in unambiguous language for your specific consumption, or you're inappropriately putting that spin on it entirely by your own volition.
