> Progress on that front is possible but unlikely in this century.

I agree in a way, but every time this comes up I point out that in East Germany they would have pounced on this technique and built a secret base in the wilderness to work on it. I say East Germany because it is a matter of historical record, what they put their athletes through.

So I'm saying that progress on that front is possible but unlikely in this country, where we consider a major ethical breach to be something to be avoided entirely, not just hidden.

Seems like a terrible filter. Some CS grads who slept through college will fail, while some non-CS grads who studied on their own will pass. Of course, to me, that would a feature, not a bug; but if you really want to filter on "university education in computer science", just read their resume instead.
Eventually most of the open source libraries will be Swift based, therein lies the answer, for the developers and for Apple. Apple doesn't need to drop Objective-C, the community will. I work with both, and like them both, although Swift is far better language.

I'm not sure what the point of this is, Material Design is built on solid design principles which create well spaced and easy to understand interfaces, none of which are goals of Bootstrap.

Combining Bootstrap with Material is like putting salt in coffee, and hiding with some sort of identity crisis. You've named expansion panels; accordions, which sure, they do follow a similar pattern, but which library are you basing the naming on?

Consider yourself in the following scenario:

You hang out with Indians and they start talking about Cricket, a sport that is widely watched there, but also a sport that most likely you know nothing about. How can you partake in that conversation? you can, probably, but only at a basic level and you might not have a lot to add.

So, the same happens with American football, or baseball, or sports that are not widely followed elsewhere.

Those types of conversations marginalize foreigners, even if it's non intentional. Now, if you have empathy, you might prefer to talk about something else, with the purpose of being inclusive.
Commit to nonproliferation of cyberweapons

A cyberweapon performs an action which would normally require a soldier or spy, and which would be considered either illegal or an act of war if performed directly by a human agent of the sponsor during peacetime. Legal issues include violating the privacy of the target and the sovereignty of its host nation. Such actions include (but are not limited to):

Only for my own personal amusement. I received, along with my sisters, a ZX Spectrum 48k for Christmas in 1984 or so.

The machine had a dead tape-deck on arrival, which meant that we couldn't play with any of the games in the bundle (10 IIRC).

My sisters lost interest pretty much immediately, but I read the manual and started entering the simple BASIC programs.

Over time I learned BASIC pretty well, eventually moving on to z80 machine code.

I stopped programming for a few years, instead preferring to play games, but then I wanted to get extra-lives so I started "hacking". Slowly learning how to by-pass the loaders on commercial games, so I could examine the programs and tweak them for infinite lives, timers, & etc.

I got a few POKEs published in UK magazines at the time, you'd write a little BASIC program that POKEd in machine-code to load the game from tape, patching it to return to your control, before modifying the game-code and jumping to the entry-point.

That occupied me from 84-90 or so.

How to Write Your First Quantum Program
Feels stupid even taking the time to write this down, but back in 1992 or so I was on a work-placement in the UK, from Sixth-Form.

I was placed in a British Rail office, where people were writing code to do things I don't think were ever explained to me. My "job" seemed to be to make tea/coffee and pretend to understand things people barely explained. There was lots of head-nodding, and similar.

Over the course of casual conversation it became apparent that one of the developers machines took significantly longer to compile the code-base than their colleagues.

I pressed the "turbo" button. The speed increased. People were happy.

That was my sole memorable contribution in the two-week placement. That and an overriding belief that wearing a tie in a development environment felt pointless.
A sibilling comment was explaining it: basically your ublock (that I use too) is regularly blocking the request to google analytics everywhere, github code doesn't fail in that case, but since the repo contained the "googleanalytics" substring ublock was blocking the request (because it checks for words in the urls that get requested) to the github server thus making the starring function fail.

Other repo do not have "suspicious" strings in their url, so they pass through ublock, while the real google analytics call is blocked and github does not fail. You can check the network tab in the developer tools in chrome around github and see that calls to GA gets blocked and calls to github pass while on that specific page also the call to github fails

I have something similar. Although I don't use any database in the middle. I just read the files. I have a cache layer, which is totally useless since I got an SSD drive.

If you want to take advantage of all the bells and whistles of VMware vSphere that makes it worth using (e.g. failover/vMotion) you will need shared storage (hardware or software), decent networking and shell out for at least the cheapest licenses (as well as the support they force you to buy)which give you some of the tools/benefits but not all.

The first question I have is, do you really need it, is there a need for all these bells and whistles?

I present, for your consideration ([1], [2]) some of many articles written about the Echelon program, more than 10 years go. These two were by the BBC and The Guardian, hardly niche publications. They were published in 1999 and 2001. It has been widely known, for decades, that the NSA was conducting large scale surveillance on a global scale. There was even a hollywood movie about NSA surveillance in the 90's (http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/enemy-of-the-state-1998).

i don't mind cameras, you can just stick tape over them (until they will be build behind the display which will take few more years), microphones are worse, is there some easy way how to disable or mute them without disassembling TV and voiding warranty?

With wall street's love for next-quarter accounting, I'm sure Qualcomm will consider the offer, even if it's a one-time bump.

Qualcomm is dominating the SoC industry, in part due to how it uses its IP. Fortuitously, Qualcomm are being sued by the DoJ and Apple for anti-competitive practices in multiple jurisdictions and this might blow the SoC field wide open, depending on the rulings. If other chip makers can license Qualcomm's patents on a FRAND basis, Google could offer the deal to MediaTek if Qualcomm declines.
Projectors have gotten much cheaper in the past few years (I used to look in awe at some of the incredible creations on the now-defunct lumenlabs forum at the DIY creations people would build because of the high projector cost back about 10 years ago). You can buy a very capable 1080p projector for €450-500 or so. You can build a high quality DIY screen if you're so inclined too. It's a bitch to setup, and you have to hide the power and HDMI cables somehow, but the experience is unbeatable.
If we're to think of this from an economist's perspective, then you would want to get an equivalent television without the voice command feature, and it would be cheaper.
> Knowing that, do you have to chase down every lump your screening finds? Can you not consider the benefits of investigating further based on the dangers of doing so,

The problem is this: How do you when to investigate further and when not to? Unless you can come up with a way to make that choice without just rolling dice, you're not really doing any better.

> ... the risk factors the patient has, maybe even what you see in successive scans over time?

Aside from perverse incentives as mentioned by someone else, there may also be a risk from the scan itself (as in breast cancer screening, e.g.). There's also secondary effects from a positive scan like anxiety before being able to confirm or reject a diagnosis -- this has known health effects. The confirmation itself may have associated risks, etc.

It's far from clear that the benefits outweigh the risks[1], so it seems like overkill to call this an indictment of medicine.

(I should also add that in e.g. breast cancer women who are known to be at risk -- there's specific genes which carry very high risk (BRCA1, BRCA2) and other genetic factors with high penetrance.)

[1] This is also something that many in the medical profession acknowledge, see for example [2] where there's a load of material on breast cancer, specifically.
