I am one of the tab hoarders and I think the general attitude of browser vendors/developers towards us is "you're doing it wrong" (they might be right). FYI Having huge amount of RAM helps (a bit) and on Windows, Firefox works quite well with up to 100-200 tabs.

I wonder how many other free services' accounts can be disabled by bombarding an automated abuse-reporting/blocking system with reports of "abuse" from a specified username. A lot more than just Skype, I bet. And many of these services have no method of contacting a human at "customer service" because of the sheer number of free accounts (tens of millions).
I like this idea as I am pro-history keeping and prefer not to make irreversible changes like an update.

What are the space concerns for keeping data in this way? For something like a retail bank (audit issues aside which probably make this necessary anyway) does space suddenly become a big factor?

Facebook REQUIRES your phone number when signing up nowadays (sometimes it asks a bit later - when you try to message peolple.

On Facebook Messenger, you sign up using you phone number.

On WhatsApp you sign up using your phone number.

Strongly agree. Andrew's course is a great choice to take before this one, if you have the time. It's not a prerequisite however.

The Udacity course has a very different aim - it covers much less territory and takes much less time. If you're just wanting to get a taste of deep learning, it's a very good option, but it's not a great platform to build longer term capability on IMHO.
Problem is inflation statistics can (and often are) manipulated. Just look at how the government swaps things out of the "inflation basket" when the levels start getting too high.

The fact that stack segments are allocated from the heap, has absolutely no consequence whatsoever. (And in fact, they are allocated from system memory, not from GCd memory.)
I suspect that if you ask most punters if the house has an edge they would say yes, but if you ask them the purpose of them being there, it's because they want a chance to win big, not because they want to give the casino money.

So, sure, everyone knows the house has an edge, but saying that the purpose of legalized gambling is to enrich the casino is a very different claim.

> if you have an android phone or iphone or smartwatch, you already can "Hey Siri/Google" whatever you want,

Most of those devices just don't have speakers/microphones cable of working reliably at room scale in real world conditions. They've certainly gotten better over the years but I doubt they will ever match the reliability of physically larger devices purpose built for the task.

> how many people have 50$ wifi connected bulbs? and isn't the most convenient way to turn on a light switch still just physically flipping the switch?

I don't think this is the killer app for the Echo but home automation is becoming pretty mainstream these days. Enough so that stores like Lowes, Home Depot, Target, etc stock bulbs, switchable outlets, starter kits, etc.

> isn't the most convenient way to turn on a light switch still just physically flipping the switch?

Not if you have your hands full or the switch happens to be on the other side of a dark room. Home automation is a novelty at first but once that wears off it becomes just another tool not very different from a light switch
I think the fact that zero people, including Nielsen, have made a go of Nielsen's proposal in the fifteen years since speaks pretty strongly to its viability.
> Hacker News after all these years has managed to maintain a pretty high standard when it comes to comment quality

For the most part, especially on well trodden topics that regularly feature on HN (tech, science, &tc). Unfortunately most HNers have the same blind spots and are unable to spot low-quality comments on more esoteric/fringe subjects - especially if it confirms their bias. I've seen inaccurate screeds about 3rd world countries be voted to the top more times than I care to count. Sadly, after many years, I still can't think of a way to personally profit from from this knowledge-gap, maybe via some form of arbitrage?

Last week Skype dropped 2/3 of my contacts list.

I contacted their chat support to tell them about it. The person on the other end was insisting that I might be using another Skype account where my other contacts are. Which of course I ain't since I'm not that stupid. He then suggested the stupid bullshit Tier 1 support usually does, like reinstalling Skype. I did as asked.

Then he asked me for remote control of my PC which I refused, because I have sensitive data on my laptop and I'm on a MacOS anyway. I then asked for my issue to be upgraded to a higher-level tier, because losing my contacts is unacceptable. Then he made an accusation that I haven't reinstalled Skype as asked and that I'm probably using two accounts, at which point I gave up.

Anyway, Skype sucks, it's been a week since I've lost most of my contacts which I've been collecting for about 7 years or so and their support is useless.

If you're relying on Skype for your business, stop doing that ;-)
> This would be complicated without the users' involvement since Facebook and WhatsApp use different unique user identifiers: Facebook ID and mobile phone number, respectively.

For some time now, facebook has been requiring a phone number to register. In some cases, they don't ask for one until you try to add people, or something alike.
If you use Facebook Messenger (with no facebook account), you can sign up using ONLY you phone number.

This was just a plain lie.

The space concerns depend on the usage. But in general I feel people worry too much and too early about this. People also worry about calculating balance being not efficient. You need really large amounts of data before any of this becomes a problem. When it does become a problem it can be solved by caching.

I think the more realistic concern with this approach is that some queries might get complicated when they involve more complex logic based on the balance.
> I'm actually surprised that anybody would give their real phone number to Facebook, Whatsapp, or any of the other "social networks"

The only use for my phone number is registering for stuff like WhatsApp. Why would I want one if not for stuff like that?

(note: talking about the number itself, not a smartphone. I use a smartphone for lots of other stuff)

Gleam: Distributed Map Reduce for Golang
This is basically the Event Sourcing pattern. You start with an initial state, keep the events relating to it that might change it, and thus the current state can always be found by replaying those events. In the example above you don't even need to replay them in order, although maintaining order is definitely useful in more sophisticated uses of this pattern.

Double-entry book-keeping is done this way. The data certainly grows over time, but generally at a predictable and manageable rate.

Most people using long-lived event-sourced data structures have some kind of snapshot/checkpoint/archive mechanism, which going back to the accounting example might simply be an opening balance.
>It's hardly stupidity. You're discovering different people have different priorities and that privacy is valued by some more than others.

This is exactly how I would describe it too. It made it especially difficult to go to sleep, as every time I was about to drift off lightning would strike and jolt me wide awake. It’s the worst feeling I have ever experienced by far, it lasted for months and I feared I had damaged my brain permanently.

I had the same reaction after a couple of weeks of excessive use of ecstacy pills (unknown ingredients obviously, but it felt like it contained a very large dose of MDMA or perhaps MDA), albeit in a much milder form and only lasting for about a week. The first two weeks after I started taking Effexor I actually felt like I was constantly coming up on MDMA, the feeling tapered off shorty after and all I was left with was the horrible side effects. Worst drug I’ve ever used.

As an (incidental) user I can tell you that Alexa is of middling usefulness at best, even for someone with a high degree of home-automation type stuff. The voice recognition is quite good compared to similar services, but that's about the only thing it has going for it really.

Most of the 'skills' (an appstore with absolutely zero quality control) are useless or extremely limited shovelware hidden behind archaic verbal rituals. I say verbal rituals because what you might consider a normal request, such as "Alexa, how much is Tesla stock selling for?", turns into the complex "Alexa, ask Cool ACME Stock Master what the current buying price of Tesla stock is".

It very much appears that instead of being able to infer what you mean, Alexa mostly just matches extremely specific strings to extremely specific corresponding processes. Understandable as a developer, extremely frustrating as a user.

Using Alexa becomes natural. Re-phrasing the same thing thirty times until you get the intended result with the required phrasing moreso.

Really the only reason to buy it is so that you can control your Lifx lights and listen to streaming music on demand. The latter is quite good as long as you don't mind mediocre speakers or sound quality.

All of that said...there is, however, something to be said about the novelty factor of being able to ask for very basic dictionary / wikipedia lookups.

This. People talk about various alternatives, but I haven't seen one. The requirements are pretty simple

1) Chat and group chat (persistent)

2) Simple file transfer and image posting in chat

3) Good quality voice calls, video calls and group voice calls

4) Apps for android/iOS with shared contact lists

5) Single application for all of the above (to enable a single group set, switching between group chat and group call with one button)

6) No server setup

7) Free or freemium on all platforms (With all features
1-5 in the free tier)

Are there any good alternatives? Is there even an alternative?

That's the main thing of consequence, because those stacks are managed like heap memory. For example, you could implement each and every object as a lightweight thread with a stack -- in fact, that's not too far from how Erlang does it -- but that doesn't change the behavior of that memory. What matters isn't what it's called or what programming abstraction is exposed to the programmer, but how it behaves, which in turn dictates how it's managed. If your program consists of millions of lightweight threads -- as it's done in Erlang, Java with Quasar, or Go -- the algorithms required to manage that "stack" memory are very similar to the algorithms for managing plain heap memory, and not at all like how (heavyweight thread) stacks are managed. So the answer to "how is memory be managed if more things are on stack" is "pretty much the same" if those stacks really behave like heap objects, and are themselves managed as such.

If I were setting up an automated abuse-report-receiving system that could automatically disable accounts, I would run some sort of filter for "is the account reporting the abuse itself a newly created account, and/or one with suspiciously low and non-human looking usage patterns?".

The advantage is already there, over Windows machines. It could be argued that the merger of NeXT and Apple democratised Unix.

In the 90s, most people were packing Windows 95 and if you wanted a Unix box you were going to pay for it. Silicon Graphics, NeXT, etc, were out of the reach of the general population and most developers. Only the CAD guys had them.

But many Windows users still complain today that the Mac is too expensive. So in that sense, if you want a Unix development machine you still have to pay a premium, just thankfully about an order of magnitude lower.

Of course, the democratisation would go much further: it is interesting that around the same time NeXT and Apple were merging, I first heard that some guy called Linus was busy porting Unix to the Intel architecture, and - unbelievably - he was doing it for free!
3) Is not true for me though, it's awful mostly, but that's my pet peeve (all coders assume everyone else is on a 1000mbit connection as well all the time) and MS is really bad at making anything work on bad connections. Office 365 isn't even getting past the 'wait while loading' while Google drive/docs is completely usable when I have a bad connection (which is often). The software that was written for bad connections, like Whatsapp and Wechat, for me, have much better quality. But no video (which I personally don't need, but it violates your 3rd demand).

I don't know. Switching to Surface made me a lot more conscious how nice it is when everything comes from the same manufacturer and there's no way to pass the blame around. I would like standards-based USB-C docking to be sure, but I will definitely want my first USB-C dock to be a first-party one so that I have a single point of contact for issues like the one you describe (which would actually ruin my use case - my desk at home is across the room from the phone line and it wouldn't be easy to run a cable, so I need to use wifi when docked). After the technology has matured and the bugs are ironed out then I think we'll start reaping the benefits of competition and interoperability.
Most interesting to me was the response from the MS Security Response Centre: "[T]his is not a valid vulnerability ... [It] relies entirely on social engineering."

This narrow view of what constitutes the system shows that MS Security is seriously flawed. If you run hosted software you have to consider the security aspects of the total system, including support and other human factors. Seems like MS is stuck in the mindset of shrink-wrapped software.
