Even the Apple Watch seems to be a healthy business. Not when compared to iPhone, but healthy enough to make a lot of watch companies jealous.

Steve Jobs is a god to some people. Like he didn't make mistakes. That's just not true.

There is not a single company in the world that didn't experience a lull after a high, but somehow Tim Cook is stupid for not bringing Apple to new highs every quarter.

I'd say that without Steve Jobs Apple is in a better position to listen to criticism from outside the company. It will probably take decade to adjust, but I'm still using their products and I haven't found competitors that are doing better.

Agriculture in our age must shift from productivity first to sustainability first, because we are running out of fossil energy allowing to produce most of the fertilizers, and we have already killed our soil with it. A farm involving a lot of machines (i.e. a lot of need for energy) might not be the way to go in order to keep the agricultural system stable. The most you ask from the soil, the poorer it gets, and then you have to dump fertilizer to keep some level productivity.

We have created flawed models of what was good for productivity. I work with a guy very invested in research on olive growing (here in the south of France), he's achieving results believed to be impossible by many agricultural researchers. His method is entirely organic, shifted towards correct use of pollination, cross breeding and a lot of care, the kind of which automated sensors remain lacking of. From what he told me, he's able to develop the root system of an olive tree ~4 times as fast as researchers using what is believed to be optimal conditions.

We already have excellent robots able to take care of farms, they're called humans. Farming is a very noble activity and instead of less farmers, we need more, with more time to study the impact of pollinizers on their crops, how to deal with the new pollinizers they'll get due to climate change, etc. All of which can't be done unless we re-humanize farm work.

I've been using Codebook (formerly known as STRIP) because it is partly open sourced, however they do not offer a desktop client for Linux and they only sync with commercial cloud services, so I'm looking for an alternative. Is there an overview that compares the various password managers out there?
FYI: I just sent that email.
I have lately been exploring agricultural technology as I plan to start farming myself. Here is what I have learnt so far.

1. Yes, its possible but its not as simple as ordering stuff off Amazon. The farmhack.org community is a great place to start. Most of them are existing tools which have been redesigned by farm hackers. http://blog.regehr.org/archives/1446 is an interesting proposition too. But in my interviews with farmers from rural India they said, cost/benefit isn't much for the such aerial reports.

2. One Million Dollars!!! Thats what Jean-Martin Fortier says in his book; The Market Gardener: A Successful Grower's Handbook for Small-Scale Organic Farming. Its a great read as its not just about tech but also market.

> They should have voted then.

They did. First, Trump was behind the leading better by an historic margin for a candidate that won the electoral vote. And, second, Trump's popularity has fallen since the election.

In any case, your implict idea that public-to-elected-official interaction is limited to elections is contrary to the founding principles of this country.
Some years ago now, I came upon a lovely essay entitled "Hackers and Painters†". Here is how it begins:

When I finished grad school in computer
science I went to art school to study
painting. A lot of people seemed
surprised that someone interested in
computers would also be interested in
painting. They seemed to think that
hacking and painting were very different
kinds of work-- that hacking was cold,
precise, and methodical, and that
painting was the frenzied expression of
some primal urge.

Both of these images are wrong. Hacking
and painting have a lot in common. In
fact, of all the different types of
people I've known, hackers and painters
are among the most alike.

What hackers and painters have in common
is that they're both makers. Along with
composers, architects, and writers, what
hackers and painters are trying to do is
make good things. They're not doing
research per se, though if in the course
of trying to make good things they
discover some new technique, so much the
better.

I think he got it right.

"Would you buy a car with the hood welded shut?"

Sure why not? When do most people open the hood on their car? To top up fluids and, occasionally, to jump start the battery. Both of those things could be done without opening the hood with a slight redesign. Modern cars are both so reliable and so complex that there is hardly anything under the hood that most people either can or have to do, and this is only getting more true for electric cars.

Why is the situation in Peru at all relevant? I too have been to lots of places where self-driving cars would have a ridiculously hard time.

Those places are also very far from the cutting edge of technology.

Even if self-driving cars are confined to US highways, cities, and suburbs they have terrific potential. The future doesn't have to be evenly distributed to arrive on time.

Seriously, I don't even understand you argument. Why would the existence of challenging backwaters in Peru prevent the development and deployment of self-driving cars in the US?
When Google maps came, we said the same. It won't work in India. There's no order in door numbering or Street names. They have to use landmarks and all that. But that's what Google did. In the driving directions in India, you can see lot of landmark references. We always underestimate what a tech can do. I am hoping we are wrong on this one too.

I'm an Apple fan, and have spent several thousands of dollars with the company over the years. I've owned 8 different iPhone models.

> Here's the simple truth.

I think you're not letting facts interfere with your theory.

> Apple is CRUSHING it's closest competitor (Sammy).

Depends on how you measure that. Samsung sells more phones. Also, about 45% of the market is "other", compared to Samsung's 20%, so it's not like Apple has the one competitor to worry about. And those competitors have nice products. I've owned both the S7 Edge and the Google Pixel - the Pixel is a very nice phone. Were I not so dependent on the Apple ecosystem, I'd happily make the Pixel my primary phone.

> "No Samsung Galaxy S7s allowed"

Galaxy Note 7. Even after the recall, their S7 sales actually remain strong. Samsung isn't the only competitor.

> Apple and Tim Cook can piss into the wind for the next decade so long as the iPhone engine continues.

I'm sure the company will definitely survive, but non-iPhone sales are very important. They made about $24B from the iPhone, about $14B from other products (Mac/iPad/Watch mostly), and $6B in services (like iTunes).

Read any article on marketshare. Apple is losing marketshare every year in the smartphone segment. Their Q4 2016 across the company was lower than Q4 2015. (about 8% drop; if you look at only the iPhone, it's about 12%)

Not all people have talent in music, also not all people have talent in founding companies or working on their own. Some prefer onvenience of working a known routine and having liveable amount of money given to them. Doing something for themselves would mean leaving their zone of comfort and they just don't want to do it for fear of failing. It's basic risk-aversion. Why risk being homeless when you can just go to work doing what you already know and get paid.
Elon Musk has stated that you'll be able summon your car from the other side of the country. It will even charge itself itself on the way.

Hopefully it'll be like a taxi at a much lower cost.

>So why does Trump do so much of it?

If you haven't noticed before, Trump never attack/insult people first.

Trump only defend himself when other people attack/insult him.

For example, John Lewis attacked Trump's legitimacy, so he attacked Lewis's incompetence back.

All these people, they attacked Trump, and then they get angry that Trump attacked back.

When will they learn: Don't attack Trump and Trump won't attack you back. It's that simple. If you're going to dish it out, you better be ready to receive it too.

1.) Over time, the number of new players playing a game decreases, to the point where most writes will be updates. That being said, in some cases we have access to totals via the APIs, so we just do a replace/upsert.

2.) We tend to do a bit of both. One of the main uses we have for aggregation right now is for global-level analytics (ie. how are certain weapons in the game being utilized over time)

I think the second approach sounds more closely aligned to what we're interested in doing.

The trouble with any of these solutions (and this is where I sort of neglected to make my description of the problem more complex) is that their fairly one dimensional. The reality is that one player may have multiple characters each with their own stats, and we may want to track the statistics of each weapon of each character for each player as well. We may want to track all of this per playlist as well. The relationships start to get very complex, as does the data.

Sometimes fixing a bug in a clean way.

Other things - Android apps for example - tend not to give me this vibe. They feel more nebulous and "unfinished", like it's a miracle they work at all and will break at any moment in ways I couldn't understand.

Do you take exception to that statement if it came from someone with Delayed sleep phase disorder? [1]

" According Cary Cooper, a psychologist and professor at Lancaster University Management School, when people who have DSPS wake up early for work, they become sleep deprived which causes them to be less efficient, innovative, and creative at the office. People with DSPS have trouble finding positions that allow them to work hours that let them get enough sleep. This also results in more stress, and can cause workplace accidents. " [2]

Interesting point. Like you, I'm also skeptical of the ability of this tool to accurately detect useful research claims/results, and surface them to the right user. It's easy these days to claim "Deep learning" and "Machine intelligence" and get significant funding. If MarkZ helped oversee the due diligence of this company (and I don't know how involved he is, since this is Chan's initiative) then they probably were evaluated very thoroughly, given Mark's recent interest in AI.
For robotics, try the search term "precision agriculture". This application of robotics is not so much about using the robots to replace manual labor, but rather to gather more detailed information about crops. An example application is yield prediction, which is really valuable as a predictor of the amount of laborers needed to harvest the crop within the window of time opportunity.
Not the GP, but the password manager's database is likely setup as a Dropbox app. So when you login to your password manager, it retrieves the latest copy of the database. I do this with KeeWeb (cross platform PW manager compatible with KeePass database, although KeePass is better on Windows because of autotype).
Not the OP but I think he gave Peru just as an example. I would personally say that "normal" and non-hazardous traffic like that from the US and some Western European countries is the exception rather than the norm if we look at the whole planet.
Indeed! This principle enables a civilization to discover all important things they need, on their own, in a reasonable speed.

Having said that, I see two areas in science where we have serious issues.

1) In some sciences, strict application of scientific method is not possible in large scale, due to unhealthy influence from the outside.

The classic example from the middle age is the research on astronomy and physics being suppressed and/or heavily influenced by the church and political leaders.

Today, one of the best examples is research on economy. That is heavily influenced (and sometimes even paid) by various types of financially strong bodies. This leads to heavily biased results. Also, suddenly results become acceptable even though they are based on almost comically far-fetched assumptions.

2) In some sciences, the scientific method cannot be applied in all rigor, due to the nature of the topic of research.

For example, complex psychological tests cannot be done with a huge amount of people, because you won't find enough people doing so volutarily. Also, you can't simply repeat an experiment on the same human being, because are are influenced from and learned from the previous experiment, so will react differently than an "unused" human being.

I use KeepassX on my desktop PC and have been looking for an iOS app that can open the database. I found one but it occurred to me that I have no idea who wrote it or whether they can be trusted with my passwords. And iOS offers no way to prevent an app using the internet, so I couldn't be sure it wasn't leaking my passwords back to HQ - unlike on the (Linux) desktop where I can run it in an environment that I control (relatively speaking - no need to point out that I haven't personally audited the kernel).

Am I being overly paranoid? How should I be approaching the issue of trusting the developers of password managers?

In addition to what soperj has answered.

Any overtime gets paid either in money or free time.

Working beyond 10 hours on a day requires authorization and is extra paid.

If doing crushes over lengthy time periods happens due to bad management, it can be reported to the government activities overseeing labor laws.

Any expat temporarily working in local projects gets the same work rights as anyone else, regardless of what international companies "think" about labor laws. Failure to comply can be reported to respective authorities.

Working over weekends requires special approvals and is properly compensated.

Support for fighting against management, when they "think" they know better than what labor laws state about worker rights.

> programming is primarily based on planning and management, most akin to logistical management and orchestration.

That's how I feel as well. Maybe it's a by-product of the software we work on? I work on IT management software and distributed control systems.

When working with control systems, the "science" part typically is in the analysis and testing phases (since we have to come up with models of physical systems). For coding itself, however, it is closer to what you describe.

> I often think of my data model as a physical system, and its behavior in terms of real world systems.

I do this too, especially when programming in Erlang. When building software systems that are modeled as a large number of concurrent, message-passing actors/processes, it readily lends itself to this "physical systems" analogy.

Plus the password database is likely encrypted with a decently long master password and encrypted with AES (assuming this if the user has gone to the trouble of using a PW manager with Dropbox sync, hopefully with Dropbox 2FA also). That should be enough to keep out virtually all hackers, barring perhaps a nation state. For an extra level of security, you can (with KeePass at least) require a master password and key file (perhaps stored offline on a USB key), which will likely keep out virtually anyone.
But you said
