I think you've read my post as more harsh than it is.

I don't necessarily see the US's actions in the late 20th century as predatory, per se -- in fact, they were very likely a logical response to the cutthroat political situation of the time. With perspective, we now understand more intuitively that the global economy is not a zero-sum game. It's not clear to me that this was the perception in the postwar period, especially since the USSR was seen by many as an existential threat to freedom.

1. I disagree that the agreement was a negative for the US in the long term. Bretton Woods actually led to a trade surplus in the short term, putting the US on a solid footing for international investment and foreign military deployments. During this time US trade relationships and influence were firmly established. In the longer term the financial situation changed, which is why the US decided to leave the agreement.

2. Partially true; this situation was due to the success of Bretton Woods in establishing the dollar as a worldwide reserve currency. However, the other side of this is that OPEC nations had a huge surplus and needed a way to invest their earnings. The US established a relationship with them encouraging huge purchases of US treasuries (often without public awareness) in exchange for military aid. See this article for more info: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2016-05-30/the-untol...

3. I was just stating that this was an added factor. It certainly didn't drive the entire economy.

4. This ignores the effect of US operations (such as the "Star Wars" defense) that were almost entirely for show, as well as an increasingly erratic and aggressive US military posture. The effect of this was to drive the Soviets to "spend themselves to death," which they certainly did. Again, I also agree that Soviet mismanagement was certainly a factor.

5. It began before the Internet, but only really took off once technology made international communication easier. Otherwise I agree with you here. (The post-Soviet era certainly looked more secure for investment though.)

I've definitely tried it. The issue I've encountered is that I substitute it with some other distraction, such as my phone, and it appears to be an endless cat and mouse game. I'd like a solution that satiates the craving, rather than configuring countless locks.

To adhere to the addiction analogy: As a substitute for a cigarette, I'd like a pen to hold, rather than abstinence by throwing the pack in a safe that I know the combination to. Even if I entrusted someone else with the combination, the unfulfilled craving and the knowledge of where to find a fix, have proven difficult to separate.

I always get excited about these things, like the Intel Compute Stick line, but when I get them I feel like I'm having to work around the limitations of the cpu or integrated graphics. It kind of feels like the netbook push that happened about 8-10 years ago where you would get a computer that couldn't even run the OS much less do something productive on it. I just feel like, at least the base models, of these Intel products are just a bit under powered. I hope it isn't the case with this, because it looks awesome.
This would help.

And less waste / nonsense. If you have an appliance, you'd typically like to upgrade it's computing module much more frequently than the envelope.

A nice side-effect might be that interfaces become more open, and you can run e.g. whatever OS you like inside your smart cheese grater.

There's a cloud version of Sage called SageMathCloud.
Sage is supported in many distributions, and is also available in a docker image for convenience.

Note that that's not all. Major commercial math packages like Maple, Mathematica, Mathlab all support Linux as well.

Then you have Scilab, Octave, R, and many others... which happen to also be integrated into Sage, that you can use independently or through some GUI.

That website is adorable. I miss stuff like that, finding blogs on the front page of google, not buzzfeed. It reminds me of Rocket Roberts, who has a giant page on how he built a small observatory in his backyard for amateur astronomy and astrophotography:

http://www.rocketroberts.com/astro/observatory.htm
Per the Ars Technica article someone else posted to HN (http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2017/01/intels-compute-card-i...), these are said to be the replacement for the currently available Intel Compute Stick devices (http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/compute-stick/intel-c...).

At least to me, that suggests that they will retail for around the same price range as the Compute Sticks: $150 to $500, depending on the model.

This is a mistake. It is users that need to conform to the system.

The main reason why most software today is crap is because it's designed for users. The day we design software properly/purely, users will improve.

I'm starting to wonder if next-generation blade systems might not just have a bunch of USB-C connectors to act as a backplane. They provide power, data connectivity, external storage links and anything more. Small, self-contained modules like this could contain the CPU and whatever other components are best to have locally, like a small local SSD and memory.
Gizmodo says..

There’s no word on pricing, and Intel stresses that although anyone can buy a Compute Card when they’re available, you will still need to build the dock to power the device and cool it, and that will likely be outside the realm of possibilities for your average tinkerer.

For blades I would expect mostly PCIe lanes to the outside. USB-C IMHO adds a lot of extras that are not needed for that use case.
Parent is correct, high CRI[1] is what you want to look for. I'm embarrassed to reveal how much time and money I've spent down this rabbit hole and ultimately went back to halogen.

As you research, you'll discovered that there is in fact more to the single CRI value. It is actually an average measurement of a range of different colors.[2] R9 in particular is the one that is hardest for LEDs to reproduce. Some manufactures goose their CRI value by getting high scores for the other values even though their R9 or R13 (skin tone) is poor.

Let novice users (or even lazy pros) create a professional quality podcast without needing extra software or hosting.

Re: upload an audio file

Soundcloud built their business around doing just this, albeit for a different market. They do support Podcasts but you can tell from the interface it is meant for music primarily.
USB-C/TB can carry PCIe lanes, so it's mostly a matter of latency due to protocol overhead more than bandwidth.
I do love my Apple Watch, but I would also be thrilled if they put some sort of really fancy mechanical gizmo in there for the sole of having some ultra complex mechanical escapement only instead of software.

Then why has Firefox been the 'shit' browser for the better part of a decade now?

Best battery life (usually by a 2-4h difference!) -> use Edge/Safari

Best stability -> use Chrome

Best performance -> use Blink-based browser

Most extensions -> use Firefox (Chrome has 90% of the FF extensions available though)

Hell, Firefox still doesn't have e10s fully working, so one tab takes down the entire browser. Slow sites lock up the UI. Scrolling sometimes still isn't smooth. Plus, Firefox is ugly, especially on mobile. and whilst its admirable they still prop up Gecko, its a substandard rendering engine compared to Webkit, Blink or Trident/EdgeHMTL.
I'll give it a shot :)
I think you might find that the fixed cost of distributing pictures and video to 1+ billion users who check their FB hourly to be rather expensive. I think you would also find that storing all those pictures and video might be expensive. Additionally, the database requirements to search through those billions and billions of posts are not going to be small and on top of that, FB's database returns the results very quickly.

Sure, distributing the software to new servers is free. Procuring the software that needs to be on the server is another matter. This isn't a slap a load balancer on top of a few servers and a Postgres instance sort of problem.

LOL, next you'll be saying that we should replace coloured traffic lights with black and white "STOP" and "GO" signs?

I'd suggest you do a Google search on the human ability to discern colour as an indicator way faster than reading text. Especially if on the peripheral vision outside of direct line of sight. NASA and USAF research papers on layouts of aircraft/spacecraft instrumentation etc. too might be helpful to you.

Real world example - Right now, as I type this in another browser in the foreground, my Vivaldi browser is 80% obscured by this window, but I can tell by the right edge of the window colour that the currently active tab on it is my Google Mail.
I'll check that book out, thanks. We'll see if it can re-calibrate me ;)

In my view optimizing productivity isn't necessarily mutually exclusive with other things you're trying to achieve. If productivity is very low then most other measures will tend to fall too though that may lag. The problem is that productivity tends to have poor visibility and is difficult to measure.

What I object to with all my heart is the "feature team" as the assembly line model of software "features". I.e. the software factory where features come in one end, get assigned to a random team, and product gets delivered on the other end. This model results in low quality, expensive, bloatware at best. It may or may not at any given time make some money. It's also not the model used, AFAIK, in most successful software companies.
It's the same with USB; USB 2.0 and 3.0 were compatible, but USB 3.1 (more commonly known as USB C) is not compatible with either of them.

EDIT: Actually, from consulting Wikipedia[1], it's even worse than I remembered. Apparently there's USB 3.1 gen 1 and USB 3.1 gen 2, where USB 3.1 gen 1 is literally just USB 3.0, and USB 3.1 gen 2 is what you get with a USB C cable (where the letter evidently denotes the port size/shape and the version number denotes the rate of transfer).

OE has been around a while, and while it has matured well it is still somewhat of a bridge to building bespoke distributions. It's a great start if you're looking to maintain a custom distribution for a custom product/form factor but it's a bit rough for end users. Worse still, there is little-to-no motivation for vendors to open up their products to their customers.
From what I heard React Native didn't scale for Messenger team at Facebook and they put a lot of custom ObjC code in the codebase to make things work. Games for examples uses little React Native.

I had the same idea about the phone years ago. I don't know why we can't just take our iPhone or (more likely) Android, plug it into a docking station and use that at work as a desktop, pick it up and use it as a smartphone, or dock it to something at home.
Sure, but why would you add that overhead (both in latency and electronics needed) to transport e.g. 16 PCIe lanes over 4 USB connections just to then direct it to PCIe devices anyways, especially if those devices partially need more than 4 lanes?

USB-C is a really cool solution, but a solution for the needs of laptops/other personal devices, not servers.
General Availability of Azure Application Insights
It seems like a neat idea but their use case is:

"interactive refrigerators and smart kiosks to security cameras and IoT gateways."

I can't see a strong advantage for Intel here. I don't think there's anyway a modular solution can compete with an integrated design using low cost ARM SOCs (typically <= 1USD for something capable of running Linux in China).

I was kind of hoping this would be targeted at high density server applications, which could be interesting but doesn't seem to be the case.
Apologies for the misleading GitHub portion in my previous comment. I agree, Rust is wonderfully maintained on GitHub.

That said, Google might consider it easier to work with Gerrit, Rietveld, Gitiles, etc. because they can work with the source code of these projects directly, than having to write potentially ugly code to work around missing pieces in GitHub's API.

I'd love to learn whether a large scale project such as Rust has run into these issues with GitHub.
Its a stupid system.

Its essentially giving the Internet a self moderation system for... the Internet.

I hate myself for have an impulse to read the comment section too, I don't know why I do it. There's nothing productive in it.
I don't think it's extreme and I think many people favor such a system on a categorical basis.

How do you know when all creative value has been unveiled and it's time for convergence? I would argue that the very nature of creativity makes this perhaps impossible to answer and best attempts to do so in the categories that you mentioned would be at best local maxima.

If I'm understanding the main issue you've raised, it's that utility would be higher from the productivity gains under a single agreed upon platform than exists today due to productivity limitations from fragmentation. There may be an equilibrium point, and I'm not convinced the market isn't fairly decent at finding it. Look at how difficult it's been for other vendors to enter the smartphone market and how quickly developers were willing to abandon Blackberry to decrease their development costs. I wouldn't be surprised if economic forces favor unification and that many hope for ecosystem diversity at the cost of lost utility/productivity for long term benefit. Thiel certainly argues the former in his recent book.
I think they're using the FT2232H for JTAG as well as serial, so you'd have to do a bit more than replacing the serial port.

I wish Intel would try to work bottom-up with the manufacturers putting IoT-class parts into their products instead of trying to push it top-down. Yeah, I get it, that's how they work. It's not going to change.

But the fact that there always seem to be communes in existence doesn't imply that they are successful. All it means is that there is some baseline portion of the population who are interested in the idea of living communally and who then start communes.

Go on something like IC.org (communes like to call themselves intentional communities). If you dig into them, most of the listings do not seem to be for successful, thriving endeavors.

The philosophy behind the change is that they are now publishing 'structural unemployment': the amount of people who will be unemployed no matter what (because of an inherent lack of jobs).

This is opposed to the old use 'transient unemployment' which means the amount of people who do not currently have a job, perhaps because they are searching.

Did you live in Grinnell, or go to the college? If you weren't a student I could understand. If you were a student, why didn't you ask Prof. Andelson? He did his PhD work in the colonies.

The colonies are definitely a good place to visit. Tho' you have to travel a bit further and look carefully to begin to pierce the veil they put up for outsiders. Even then, you are still an outsider.
All very good points.

I can honestly say that I have an easier time learning anything now than when I was in my 20's. Any subject, whether it's new to me or not.

The only deficit I've noticed is that an unexpected distraction affects me more, and it takes me a little longer to get back in to the groove. Whether this is because of my brain, or simply because the things that distract me (I heard a thump, did my Dad fall down? Do I need to call an ambulance?) are more serious than what distracted me in college, I cannot say. Probably both.

The only thing I will say in my defense is that I was a caregiver while my Mother descended through the hell that is Alzheimer's; I am intimately familiar with failure modes of the brain.

I also had my Dad move in with me after my Mom passed. He is mentally competent, but very stubborn about his hearing and other deficits.

This causes a tremendous amount of frustration on my part, and I have promised myself to never lie to myself about my changing abilities, no matter what.

Can I do so? Hopefully. Clearly I can't guarantee such a thing, but I'm used to having to work around health issues. I'm asthmatic, and have pretty severe IBS, which is an awful thing I wish on no one. If I am grateful for one aspect of it, it has taught me to respect my physical abilities and limits, no matter what they are, or what I wish them to be.

A useful skill, I think.
