These are good points, but here are some more to consider:

- Apple, particularly recently, have been terrible on supporting modern web proposals. Worse than anyone. Much worse than the typical historical reputational lower bar that is Microsoft.

- Apple's record on proposing new web standards has been demonstrably aggressively anti-open and not generally condusive to promoting interop https://www.w3.org/2012/te-pag/pagreport.html

- Apple's general record on cross-platform development is pretty much non-existent. To the contrary, much of their business decisions are specifically based on limiting interop with non-Apple platforms.

I think on a holistic level, if you take Apple's record into account at all, any criticisms from them of a cross-platform proposal of any kind need to be taken in context. Before you even start considering the pros and cons of Vulkan or WebVulkan, there's a very blatant case of cui bono to examine behind this.

Even if you do get past that, the points about commonality between native and web APIs are growing more and more relevant every day as Emscripten, WebAssembly and other such tech brings the two worlds closer to each other. Cross-compilation efforts will invariably be made easier with a more consistent API between (web and native) platforms.

Thanks, those figures were confusing me. I wasn't sure if there were 32 or 198 people on board.
The creator of this project published a website, took on volunteers to help build it, and held meet-ups to discuss it. In other words, they went well out of their way to publicise it. So yeah, at that point anyone has the right to say anything they like about it. If the author didn't want that to happen, they could have just kept it a private project, never to see the light of day.

>using the legal tools available to you is not immoral

Legality and morality are two different concepts that are not always mutually inclusive. What would be the point of two separate words if this wasn't the case? Under your logic slavery wouldn't slavery have been moral?

That said the people OP is dealing with arent likely at the height of morality themselves and my personal moral code is "do unto others as they would do unto you".
" ... which in turn, will cause inflation and soaring of prices of gold and other assets."

Whether they do that or not, it is not likely to cause much inflation. Funding for the scheme is meant to be taken from other, existing, programs, so the total stimulus is zero or near zero. Even if it does boost the price of some luxury items, and I am skeptical that will do so to any significant degree, that would simply reduce the consumption of said luxuries. Also, you aren't going to buy much gold with 7k p.a..

As it stands, Medicare Advantage consistently beats Original Medicare on pretty much every metric you can conceive of.

I've tested, overviewed the code and packet-sniffed several self-claimed anonymous and secure chat apps, tox was in a tie with signal and telegram with security, and first place for me with anonimity. The toxCore philosophy (isolating the protocol tools from the client) is a big plus too, you can create your own client or integrate tox to your app however you like. The sodium crypto library is really trusted and easy-to-use (less control but it's more failproof than openSSL primitives), it's based on the NaCL library written by the creator of Salsa20/Chacha20 encryption Daniel Bernstein.

The big reason to hate Hater – the dating app based on mutual dislikes
Just two nights ago, my wife came to join me, which woke me into a half sleep. I immediately grabbed something on my nightstand that reminds me of her and thrust it into the air, then I started to try to explain (somewhat incomprehensibly, apparently) the unit tests that would run against her. That's not a euphemism and the waving the thing in the air, I think, made me believe that her unit tests would run first, so I could get back to sleep sooner.

Needless to say, she's still laughing at my antics!
You need to be careful with that definition. For prescription drugs, Medicare just pays premiums to private insurers under Part D. Following your logic, Medicare has zero negotiating power for those drugs.

Building software to identify trends in unsolved murders
Other people have covered Intel's TurboBoost feature, but this reminds me of something GM did with the Cadillac Northstar V8 back in the early 90's.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northstar_engine_series

When the engine did NOT have coolant, it would run only one bank of cylinders at a time and alternate between the two to let them cool.

The system was at least somewhat effective. There's a story from the time about a journalist that was testing the feature in the desert. He stopped at a truck stop after conducting the test and amazed the folks at the stop by opening the hood, filling the engine with coolant, and driving off like nothing was amiss.

> In the case of AF447, the first officer (Robert) has to constantly ask the second officer (Bonin) what he is doing and why he is climbing

The fact that this happens at all makes me think that there could have been a hardware malfunction or that something got wedged forcing the stick back ever so slightly. So FO says "why are you pulling back?" and SO doesn't even respond since his hand isn't on the control.

In this case the Boeing system wouldn't have stepped in, granted. But in this case the Boeing system also wouldn't have let things get so far so fast. It's much, much harder to accidentally jam a big control yoke so far forwards. It would also take more than the weight of a camera to do so.

The title should read "Airbus' automated flight control conflict resolution system saves plane from problem that Airbus' poor cockpit design allowed to happen in the first place" but that's not catchy.
It's really a shame that it simply gives you the original files, not allowing very high res images (ie greater than 10.000 x 10.000). We built a tool for this that's being used by for instance Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum http://www.vangoghmuseum.nl/ , which allows for ultra-res images. The Met should also consider using http://micr.io/ or any similar technology.

> Also, given that Windows versions other than ten still make up more than half of the PC market, Direct3D 12 is not even an option for most PCs, but Vulkan is.

What hardware Nvidia and AMD will support with Vulkan? It might turn out, that they will support relatively new hardware and Windows 7 usually used with older hardware, so it might be unavailable even for Windows 7. And if those users will upgrade to Windows 10, they'll have working DirectX 12.
I think it could catch this, but it could just as easily miss that there was a huge degridation on HDD vs SSD; high ram vs. low ram; fast vs slow CPU; GPU vs no GPU.

Obviously you can build test suites for each of these scenarios, but I think it would be expensive to run all of them. That's all I'm really saying, it's by no means a bad idea, I think it's a great idea, just going to require some upfront thought of what type of environment the software is going to run in.

The encryption is both super-fast and well-tested, stream ciphers are more suitable in the era of internet voice and video calls, where you don't always know the length of the data to be encrypted, and using block ciphers will cause a (I know, negligible but...) latency because you have to wait for X bytes to fill a block.

Venus has very little water, so a starting point would be to launch large solar-powered balloons that just float around and collect water by cracking the sulfuric acid in the clouds. Living systems also require a lot of trace minerals that would have to be harvested from the surface. I think it could all be done, but probably not for a price that anyone is willing to pay.
Cool, and even cooler that the idea is due to Knuth.

I found this typo entertaining:

Technically it could be replaced by any other large prime number. The most important thing is that it must have few factors, and be large enough to distribute information into the higher value bits when the integer overflows.

Surely any prime number has "few factors", i.e. none other than itself and 1? I guess the "prime" in the first sentence is a typo, since the second sentence reads as if the first one didn't say "prime".
Sometimes, more so in my early-mid 20s, I would dream about code/architecture issues I was having, and bizarrely, wake up with the solution. It was a trip when I realized what had happened, so I started napping when I got stuck and it actually worked a decent amount of the time.

That's pretty much the reason why Google went with Java as the first-class language for Android dev back then: being late to market they wanted the biggest programmer skill subset available, and that was (perhaps still is?) Java.

Neverming the fact that it implied running a VM on a phone, tie themselves to Oracle in undesirable (read: licensing) ways, or that it was not the best technical choice: market forces (including dev skillsets in production, down to mass customer adoption) determine the winning strategies in tech. It's all about money, and waiting for hundreds of thousands of devs worldwide to train on a new tech isn't cheap nor easy nor fast.

So that's a good real-world example of a successful strategy that didn't make much sense from an engineering standpoint (surprising move by Google of all big tech, given their deep engineering DNA/culture).

However it's been stated time and again that most people Apple talked to regarding WebGPU are in agreement that this high-level web API should be able to target pretty much any and all low-level graphics API (DX12, Vulkan, Metal and perhaps others eventually, like NVN or other custom implementations on consoles etc.) So there's that. The reasons are probably as much political as they are technical (nobody probably wants to drop their own horse). It might require more work, and produce lesser results (in terms of performance) but ultimately that may be the way to make WebGPU succeed, regardless of who's proposing it.

If we look at the JS situation generally (ref: "what it's like using JS in 2016"), the same could be argued that standards are very much not the norm beyond W3C specs (because TypeScript this, framework that, Babel this, npm that, etc.) Is that a good thing? Some say yes. Is that a bad thing? Some say yes. If we end up having several disparate implementations of WebGPU we know it'll be the same: you have one problem to solve and a solution space that's 10x redundant -but what little idiosyncrasy you find in all this mess is also the reason why everyone and their mother can use JS (different problems meet a bunch of various solutions), it's also probably why the field is so dynamic.

The matter of the fact, imho, is that thinking of 3D on the web in 2017 without considering AR/VR from the get go is just a loss of time, and that implies catering to mobile (because the economic revolution of that will be shaped as portable glasses or lenses, not 60-pounds workstation). It's highly likely that these devices will rely on custom/new OS more of an IoT flavor, and in making these the classic vendors (MS, Google) can add whatever drivers WebGPU requires by then. In the meantime, it may be a reason not to lock anyone into any particular low-level API, including OSS Vulkan, simply because we don't know yet what the actual reqs/specs of the next wave of devices will be. Designing WebGPU to be low level API-agnostic is probably safer in this transitional environment.

Not advocating anything here, just thinking out loud.
