Is that the one with the ducks? I'm pretty sure there's a more recent version too, where the guy gets accused of being a robot?
How divisive. If Mars ever gets colonized, it'll be accomplished by those with wealth, drive, and scientific know how.

I welcome anyone, including Elon Musk, to attempt it. Barring anyone is an affront to human progress.
It is worse that not emailing people about it or even mentioning it. Facebook will know your sexual orientation without you ever saying a word about it.

This is what's increasingly worrying, they don't even need you to tell it like it this, they can find about it by analyzing your everyday behavior.
Quoting from their proposal:

> We don’t expect this to become the actual API that ends up in the standard, and maybe not even the one that the Community Group decides to start with, but we think there is a lot of value in working code.

I think it's pretty natural to write what is essentially a proof-of-concept with tools one is ga,iliar with.
Exactly. 60 years is 2-3 generations growing up with that recent history in mind.
No, you self-host because you retain the ownership and control of your data. You choose service providers whose main business is not to snoop your data. For example, if you choose a server from amazon ec2 or linode or your local vps provider, they are not going to snoop your data because they are in the business of selling servers and not mining all your servers.
> that it's wrong that we so often assume that housework is women's work

Have you seen the work men do in poor countries?

Do you really expect women to be doing this work and the man stays at home doing house work?

I do see women carrying huge bags of concrete, masonry, pulling carts along occasionally.

And I find it heart breaking. It's body ruining as a man, for women to be doing it is an even lower level of poverty that they are at.

There is a lot of 'let them eat cake' going on here.
> Indian politicians being more likely to have criminal allegations against them is an easily verifiable claim.

Unlike America, India's court are more accessible to each and everyone. Cases are filed liberally in the political process - in some ways this is reminiscent of our freedom struggle where going to jail was considered a right of passage, and rightfully so.

If you use this to assert that Indian politicians are criminals, you are basically using means at your disposal to assert your prejudice.
Yes, that is still the case. Cgo calls work the same. Note that the most common syscalls get special treatment though: file and network I/O use a thread pool and epoll/kqueue respectively.

I have been looking for this for the past few days, something to graph directly from my mysql.

Unfortunately the experience in this app is not too good

- The app is just white and it takes a long time to startup, why isn't is just a website?

- Would be nice to just do it on data.

- Clicking CMD+R to run my query for some reason reloads my "native app", this just sucks in all web apps. At the time of writing this post I have done it 6 times in a row.

- My query for 500k rows took 90 seconds, compare this with sequel pro that takes (well it states 373ms) but its spinner were there for like 10s, it shows results instantly though.

- Pressing enter on a 'setup connection' made it save, but not connect. Better to just test the connection at that stage.

- Trying to make a chart and there is no feedback, not sure if it is working and loading, or if I chose wrong values or something like that. But at this stage I'm more likely to close the app than to fix it.

- I like to see my table structure while writing the queries

- Auto complete?

Actually I thought I'd try with LIMIT 100; to see if it were snappier, so I wrote it and pressed CMD+R...

Sorry for the negativity, I reallly want a tool like this, so if this can make it better.

This being said, once I got one chart up and running it is kinda nice and makes me want to continue playing with it a bit.
The concept seems interesting. I have stopped the close investigation of the stack I use at the "Keras level" and mostly use things below that as a black box. I'm defaulting to Theano since I only have one GPU to work with but as far as I can tell switching to TensorFlow is basically a small config-change. I've only browsed this but since I mostly do NLP (and virtually no image recognition) I suppose it could be worthwhile to switch. I guess I'll need to open the black boxes a bit and see what Theano does :)

We already have short work weeks. It's called part time. If you don't like the pay, blame reality. This experiment was done with tax money, and my guess is businesses would not voluntarily pay more for less work, without massive subsidy, which would be pro large corporation, and anti small business.

I'll just quote my own comment from further up the comment chain:

"Computers and horses don't have property rights or the means to exercise them. All of this automation is augmenting humans because we do. We've gone from 122 million people owning smartphones in 2007 to 2.5 billion people owning them at the beginning of 2017 for example."

The last sentence is particularly relevant to your point.

Thats because that published science is born of a prejudiced mind. I have spent my entire life in this country and been a part of the political process in many different ways. Pick any random person from the street in India and he will tell you as much.
Thanks for trying to explain your position. I don't have the facts myself. Perhaps you could give a specific example of which data in the article were incorrect. Also, I would be pleased to know how you were able to discern the motivation behind the supposed mistake(s) made in the article.

> Email has a lot of retry logic built into it. You seriously don't think it behaves you think it does, do you? Imagine the amount of emails dropped :-)

Retries on the order of a few minutes, maybe. I think I've very rarely seen maybe a handful of retries, one a day, in certain cases (thanks to mailer-daemon notifications from Gmail). I don't imagine servers keep retrying for days on end beyond that (maybe internet outage was a poor example here though). Am I wrong? How long do retries go on for? Like imagine if you were on a trip when your server crashed. Now you miss emails for two weeks and you imagine that when you reboot it after coming back the senders will keep retrying? Is that really how it works? And if it does, would you really want to have that level of availability? You never have to worry about that kind of thing with a service provider, but as soon as you maintain your own server you have to constantly monitor it and be able to fix it ASAP.
Thank you for your synaptic sugar this morning. It saved an incredibly boring meeting during a long track implementation project.

That's exactly the sort of thing I want to do with them. I have another colleague who managed to string a guy along for nearly half an hour. Always managing to convince him that he was a noob struggling to get around. He said you've got to give those guys 10/10 for patience. Just imagine if they had real support jobs - they could probably do well at it.
Fellow RS Cloud Files customer here.

We're moving a lot of files over to Google Cloud Storage (Nearline) as well as full backups to Coldline storage.

Nearline storage is 1/10 the cost of cloud files. Lifecycle policy is very handy for automatic file rotation. Command line is slick.

Rsync was a total lifesaver in the migration. Moved 4TB of files over 26 ish hours.
There are other factors at play in an economy besides automation, like forcible income redistribution. That the rich are benefiting from automation while the rest are not could be due to one of these extraneous factors.

>and how much thanks to the fall of colonialism over the past century.

It has to do with massive economic growth, and economic growth is really just a measure of automation. The wage growth accelerated after the fall of Communism, as market institutions gained strength.

The article does not mention intellectual discussion even once. What it mentions are things like trending on twitter and instant (over) reactions to any form of perceived good/evil. We are moving towards marketing that seeks to maximise gain in goodwill for minimal financial effort.
Obviously there has to be a ground up rethink with security in mind. The standard won't be the same API, just like WebGL isn't the same as OpenGL. It's just, where it's possible to, you use the same API. The point is why not start with a starting point you can use on potentially every platform?

There's no way Apple would ever allow Metal proper to be ported to PlayStation or Windows, so you're limiting yourself to at best two platform coverage targeting this new standard. Vulcan will, hopefully, work on every platform. At least subsets of it, with shims. No way Metal ever gets there.
Yep, I have a friend who worked for a couple of years as a teacher in Laos. He said that there are still many children killed or maimed by unexploded ordinance there each year. Two full generations away from the actual war, and they still pay for it with their blood.

I'd like to see Apple implement Safari's missing functionality before they try and come up with a replacement for WebGL.

Where are getUserMedia, MediaRecorder, WebRTC, filesystem, vibration, screen orientation, Service Workers, Web Bluetooth ? What about WebGL 2? I'm sure there are a few more I missed too.

Those are things that are really holding the web browsing experience back on iOS/MacOS, not an extra 20% 3D performance and slightly shinier graphics.

Or why not lift the app store restrictions so that Google/Mozilla can actually ship non-crippled web browsers and implement it all for you?

The system of getting UN mandates has become useless because Russia is both on the security council and an offender of the rules it was supposed to defend.

By all rights, there should be a UN mandate to fight IS in Syria. There should have been a UN mandate to fight the Assad regime, for that matter. Not intervening did not lead to less destabilization, just to more war crimes by the original regime.
> It makes no sense to judge the quality of an API by the power of the available hardware it might be running on.

I didn't make any such judgement or even mention VR a single time!

But, looking at the points you've raised, I can say with confidence that Vulkan has been designed, taking into considering these issues.

Vulkan has been carefully engineered from the ground up not to alienate tile-based renderer hardware. So, it's just as suitable for mobile GPUs as desktop GPUs. https://www.imgtec.com/blog/tiling-positive-or-how-vulkan-ma...

As such, it's already supported by many mobile GPU hardware vendors.

> In addition, Apple will be rightly considering iOS when evaluating options for web technologies, not the increasingly small section of the planet running Nvidia and AMD hardware on Windows.

The GPU in the iPhone 7 uses a custom version of the PowerVR GT7600 GPU. While this is purely speculation, PowerVR does support Vulkan in their other offerings, so it's not that much of a stretch to assume that the hardware is at least capable of it.

NVidia, AMD and Intel power all of Apple's desktop graphics, in addition, they collectively power almost all of Windows and Linux setups too (excepting other mobile and SFF computers)
Let's be fair, it's not really virtue-signalling. They DID do something. Virtue-signalling is when no action was taken or no effort was applied. If they had proclaimed or denounced or simply made ad campaigns, that would be virtue-signalling.

Most occidental countries have corrupted politicians as well. They are just better at playing the system to never be convicted.

In France the elite is incredibly good at it. The best example of this is Charles Pasqua. He has been linked to many, many, manyyyyyyyy shady cases, but every time found innocent : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Pasqua

What's coming now is worst. The old generation was trying to cover their track. The new one doesn't even bother. They are exposed, play a little TV game, and then carry on like nothing happened. It works so why not ?
Are you saying that if altruism (helping others) is a rational thing to do, then it's not really altruism? I find that argument a little strange.
The proposal in this case appears to be coming from the safari group rather than the metal one.

Even if that weren't the case, for a standard to be a success then pragmatism is more useful than idealism. Telling the maintainers of most of the worlds desktops to fall in line isn't really practical.

Those are such sweeping conclusions about human nature and it's future course. Privacy has been a fundamental part of humanity forever, as was sharing. Obviously, as this is even the case for many animals, including those we evolved from.

Privacy is incredibly important today, as it has been forever. Simply looking at how humans learn, change and adapt to different contexts, it would be impossible to imagine our current civilization without privacy. If you take away a specific person's privacy, you would significantly dampen their social and intellectual development. Perhaps you envision a future of perfectly rational beings where nobody would be harmed by killing privacy, but we don't even know how one could get there.

Implying that we can, will or should change our nature in this respect is an idea from the wildest of scifi dreams. Perhaps, some day, but we have achieved so much while being these tribal, silly humans, and we'll probably achieve so much more without/before significantly changing our nature.

I'm not sure why one would even want to give up privacy. Many of our biological features seem useless to us as modern humans, but I don't see how privacy is one, whether from a practical, philosophical or enjoyment standpoint.
> good enough pay

That term is meaningless. An Indian would be happy to get $12 per day when Americans complain about it being minimum wage.

If your point is that some people will earn significantly less that others then I think you are true but I dont see why that is a problem. The bottom 5% in USA today are living lives much better than middle class Americans of 1917. There will always be bottom 5% but what matters is how they compare with the bottom 5% of 100 years back. As long as that is positive I think thats a very good outcome.

My vote goes to redistribution of wealth, by means of a progressive tax that starts negative.

It is the human thing to do. But it also aligns with economics and politics.

Redistribution: because more money at the bottom, means a larger overall market, and I think a more stable economy.

Progressive tax: any paying work will always improve your situation. (So people stay motivated to work.)

Taxing wealth creation (and to a lesser extend, wealth) makes sense. It needs a society with law and order and property rights. That needs to be payed for. But of course not so much as to discourage wealth creation.

Most societies already redistribute wealth. Minimum wage, social programs, health programs, pensions, some form of subsidies. UBI is a more disciplined way of doing this. And just like these programs, you can tune that knob from low to high.
I agree with the second part of this exceprt from the article, first having already been taken care of -- It will take time before 1.3bn Indians receive such a transfer. Keen as Mr Subramanian is, he concludes that UBI is “a powerful idea whose time even if not ripe for implementation is ripe for serious discussion.”
Python? If noyt it should, because there is no better prototyping/bootstrapping language and definitely there is no better culture than that which emerged around this language.

This is not a good thought experiment. A better one would be what would each side in a conflict do AND it was the most powerful nation in the world economically, militarily, culturally, and diplomatically and was the arbiter of a global system that prioritizes economic growth and benefits more from trade with a sovereign than resource extraction via explicit, systematic repression from a puppet government. The United States simply has nothing to gain and everything to lose for applying those levels of violence that you consider evil. It is actively against their interest. Enslaving Germany and Japan after WWII would be counter to their objective as enslaved populations are not as efficient or productive. A democratic Japan is the world's 3rd largest economy and is an important strategic and trade partner. A brutally oppressed, unproductive Japan would harbor resentment and require an expensive, remote military garrison to contain.

I believe that it is inappropriate to apply a moral dimension to the behavior of nation-states. In conflicts, the logic of violence is weighed between costs and benefits. When your adversary is an enemy of God, a spawn of Satan or some other type of evil, there is no moral good, no benefit in showing them mercy, it is in fact weakness and a moral failing not to expunge such evil. When you think of yourself as the "good guys", the other side is necessarily evil. Evil must be vanquished.

That's my main argument against having a "good vs evil" worldview. It becomes easier to justify horrific actions directed at evil-doers. It's a binary, and, frankly, very naive and ignorant way of thinking about the world. Even in the canonical conflict of good vs evil in the 20th century, WWII, there were heroes on both sides, "good" and honorable men such as Erwin Rommel.

One should always be wary of any group that explicitly refers to itself as the good guys. That should not need to be stated. Usually when someone says that, they're doing some heinous shit and are saying it to convince themselves that their actions are a means to an end for the "greater good"

Let's be honest, this is tribalism, a matter of where in time and space you happened to be born. You are a westerner. Your side, where you are born, is the side that is the force for good. Try this thought experiment: imagine you were born in the ungoverned area of Pakistan, and, while attending a wedding, a faceless drone drops a bomb on the reception. Are you going to blame uncle Nazir, who came out of hiding to attend? Maybe he bears responsibility, but most bystanders will blame the perpetrator of the bombing. If one happened to be around a CIA station director when a suicide bomber detonated, I doubt many people are going to blame him or the United States for that.
However, there is objective evil. ISIS is objective evil, for example. Russia or the USA are in the gray zone, where some of they actions are evil, some others are simply stupid, and some other have sense. So, I understand your point, everything is complex, but we should avoid losing our moral compass. Some evil is really evil.
