Perhaps, although I don't believe another system of government would be better suited to solve it. The problem with not addressing climate change, for example, is greater concern for personal interests over the general welfare. In this case, fossil fuel companies prioritize their profits over the planet's well-being. That prioritization is the source of fossil fuel lobbying and anti-science news that supposedly refutes climate change.

Theoretically, in an informed democracy, the people would recognize the threat and act to stop it by voting in representatives who are committed to curtailing climate change. In the real world, though, our democracy is not that informed. The mainstream media covers stories that are more sexy. I don't believe there were any climate change questions posed at the presidential debates.

The two possible solutions would be to change the system in such a way to foster an informed democracy. The other, as you mentioned, would be an entirely different government system. I think the former solution is more feasible by passing legislation that makes it harder for fossil fuel companies to have so much influence on representatives. I'm not sure how to fix the news. The reason I don't see a different system of government working is because I don't think any system solves the "individual interest > general welfare" problem. Democracy is pretty much as good as it gets when it comes to the general welfare, other than a smart benevolent dictator... but how long has that ever lasted?

HN largely views Snowden as a martyr, and thereby canonizes his confidants.
New head of the EPA doesn't believe in climate change. Maybe gates can convince him that climate change is real? A billion dollars or even 10 isn't going to be able to change much if the government doesn't get some what involved.
Maybe there is a relationship between sugar consumption and our ability to cope with stress? I found, that when I stopped eating sugar, it wasn't exactly a big revelation, but merely a subtle change (mentally), that made me somehow less anxious and when I had irrational anxiety "attacks", I was able to suppress them better.

I don't have any better way to explain this psychological stuff, but for me there was a change for sure. A subtle one, but it made a big impact on my life long term.

The reason I stopped eating sugar was that I saw a pattern in my moods depending on what I ate. I initially thought that it my eating habits were dictated by life circumstances and that life circumstance were dictating my mood, but two things stood out, which left me to try going without sugar.

First I wanted to loose weight, so I went on a protein only diet during a very stressful time and it made me feel pretty good. Second, I was feeling even better, when I was fasting. Third, I had my worst "breakdown", when I was training for a marathon (I ran many, so it wasn't marathon stress) and ingested a lot of sugar.

I don't think this could be interpreted as a visual lag. fsync() is usually used by databases, not UI libraries. So the title is misleading.

My chinese Android phone has a more annoying hardware lag - a delay between touching the screen and touch event processing is over 100 ms. Any drum app is unusable. And if you try to scroll something up and down fast it is easy to see how the content on the screen lags behind finger movements.

I'm pretty sure that a lot more people are using ride sharing services in the SF Bay Area because all of the public transit systems are overcrowded during peak hours and most have additional major issues. BART is too expensive. Muni is prone to unexpectedly large time gaps between buses/trains and doesn't have sufficient subway coverage. Caltrain runs too infrequently. The ferries also seem to run pretty infrequently (though I have less experience with them than the other modes of transit).

I don't have any direct evidence for this but it feels pretty obvious: when your public transit systems are already running at full capacity during peak hours and you have people moving into your area, the roads are going to end up completely congested. It certainly isn't the fault of whatever entity is putting cars on the road that the roads are full. After all, people are going to try to live their lives and there really isn't another reasonable way to make more-than-a-few-blocks trips during these hours.

I only see a few ways to improve things: a) Increase public transit capacity and then make it more desirable to take public transit (and continually repeat because now your public transit is overcrowded again) and b) Spread out the "peak hours" time over more of the day.

Unfortunately, improving public transit can take years or even decades. So we won't get much mileage out of this for a while, but we should still be investing a lot more heavily than we are because this is the only "scalable" fix.

It can only be done a limited number of times, but I think we could do a lot better at improving the situation on a shorter timescale with the other option: spreading "peak hours" over more of the day. This can be accomplished by incentivizing companies to shift their workdays so that they start before or after 9 (with a corresponding change at the end of the day).

PS: I haven't lived in the peninsula for a couple years at this point, but when I left, Caltrain had just started running a "ridership campaign" while all of its commute-hour trains were standing-room-only. This is ridiculous. The problem is not that not enough people want to take public transit, the problem is that there's not enough capacity!

I was just thinking about this an hour ago. I work in more of a visual design field, but the issue of customers "being wrong" seems pretty universal.

There's a sentiment that, if you hire an expert, you should do what they tell you to do - why hire them in the first place if you don't trust them - and that's valid in some ways. Still, if an expert can't communicate to their clients why they think an approach is good or bad, it seems to me something's very wrong with the process.

Between the two I'd recommend the Arty without hesitation.

The Parallella is intended as a demonstration board for the Epiphany SOC. The $99 model has no GPIOs or JTAG interface, making it essentially unusable for FPGA development; the higher-end models will still be awkward to work with.

The Arty is intended for FPGA development, and is much better suited for it -- built-in JTAG controller, lots of GPIOs on easily accessible connectors, user I/Os, etc.
Yes. But we assume (and hope) that sandboxes and limited API surfaces actually work. That's how browser js or the AppStore works. If Apple decided that apps shouldn't see gps data tomorrow, they could just remove it from the data available to apps, and that would in fact work. The same should work for a subset of js if one is careful.
The point you should be agreeing with is that regardless of how you build it --dig a tunnel, rip-up the sidewalk or go vertical-- the cost of such a system defies a comparison to a simple fleet of buses by a huge margin. I would venture to say one, if not two orders of magnitude.

I mean, the thing is ridiculous to such a degree that it is surprising to see anyone arguing in favor of it.

Buying a fleet of electric buses would make far more sense than this insanely ridiculous idea.
That was then. But now that Apple does know that the MBP is perceived as dev-friendly, based on the type of people in that market segment that buy them, why would they let that slice of the market go?

I'm sorry, but you keep reading things into my posts that aren't there, and as a result you are attacking straw men in your responses.

All I am really arguing here is that if we have laws that protect privacy and limit use of personal data for whatever we consider good reasons in a certain jurisdiction, those laws must apply equally to online sources and data processing within that same jurisdiction. What those laws are and what reasons we might consider good enough to prioritise privacy over other relevant factors is a vast and complicated area, and today's situation was reached after numerous debates by smart and thoughtful people.

You seem to be interested in promoting some sort of anti-government agenda here. Don't trust the government, fear its power over the people, and all that. In other contexts, perhaps I might agree with some of your concerns there. But this issue, the one we're talking about right now, has really very little to do with excessive government power or state censorship. This is simply about enforcing laws we already have, made with good intentions, written in reasonable terms, and with the purpose of protecting vulnerable people from unjust harm. That is no more an abuse of government power than having police officers legally allowed to use force against you if you're literally beating up another person in the street, because that police action is an infringement of your right to free expression or something.

You can change that "may" to "does". Even in the case of perfect coordination and cooperation, there are fundamental mathematical limitations on the optimization power of distributed algorithms. Introducing independent, competing agents then adds game-theoretic results into the mix and everything goes straight into the toilet.

Most of these seem to be very on the side of "I'm a company", so as a sole developer what I like to do for clients is implementing sockets into their apps.

Adding sockets for, say, the 3 newest logs they get in real time. Or if they have anything that maps to a graph/app-overview just make sure that will always update in real time. It's not a huge time investment for me. Customers usually never request it specifically. But I've found they are blown away when they see how everything is updated in real time. It just makes the whole thing feel 'alive'.

Another thing which I don't personally love, but I do because I understand industries have differences is just exporting whatever can be exported into .csv files or .xls files where applicable.

All in all, I work in consulting. The code I write is meant to make the life of people easier, I want to make sure they get that when possible. A big part of why I'm able to do this is that I have a lot of creative freedom to do whatever I want so long as I'm getting stuff shipped. So huzzah for comprehensive management as well!
So from reading the XFS FAQ linked in the article(http://xfs.org/index.php/XFS_FAQ#Write_barrier_support.), does this mean that Moto Z never flushes the cache to disk?

This is not "Data Science" specific, but bootstrapping a client base for a new company with no street cred is done nearly exclusively through networking, e.g. you would start by aggressively asking your contacts for referrals, poaching clients that you've previously worked with, etc.

Also, what you are describing is like opening a mechanical engineering shop and saying "we can invent anything that moves". Consider how well that would go. Specialization is the key, at least in the early stages.
I think it depends on your viewpoint.

> I don't think this could be interpreted as a visual lag. fsync() is usually used by databases, not UI libraries.

As others have pointed out, a lot of apps do I/O related work in the UI thread, mostly b/c people don't care enough not to (and sometimes it's hard). Flipping a toggle somewhere can easily cause a write to a sqlite database to need to happen.

And it's for far more than just databases.

I don't think the title is that misleading, it is very much and significantly faster at storage operations than the Pixel, and those matter quite a bit in your daily usage.

I'd argue that 9/11 is a good example of news media blowing something out of proportion with 24/7 coverage and lots of drama. Yes it was a tragedy, but ultimately the amount of people that died is a tiny fraction of the amount of lives lost in the middle east due to a disproportionate response.
I'm not sure I see where you were going. Which, check my history, is not too say you are wrong. Even odds I'm just missing it.

In corporations like that don't expect a common theme. Different departments manage different devices and unless there's a company wide push for a culture change (which would leak to the public), I wouldn't expect changes any time soon.

>that sandboxes and limited API surfaces actually work

While this is not a bad start, assuming they work is a bad option from a security standpoint.

You should be pessimistic and always assume the sandbox will be broken and the API abused. Then you plan for that.

Assuming nobody will ever hack your product because it's perfect is harmful for any security product. Period.
