I think Elon Musk is ok with that. Actually, I believe that is why he started Telsa, and opened up a lot of their patents at some point. He wanted to kick-start the electric market, not have a monopoly in it.

Aaactually, that consensus has existed for longer than most JavaScript developer's pubic hair.

- JavaScript only goes in .js, whether it is compiled or not.

- CSS only goes in .CSS, whether it is compiled or not.

- JSON and XML are generated and consumed on-the-fly, never saved to disk in production (well… if you don't count caching mechanisms as "saved to disk"). .json and .xml are acceptable only for mocking purpose.

- Static HTML goes in *.html but dynamic HTML can come from a variety of sources through a variety of means.

Simple.
You may enjoy knowing that the singular of criteria is criterion (Greek, not Latin). A criterium is a bike race, from the same root: a κριτήριον is a decision, with the same nuance of meaning as English judg(e)ment.
Swift is an Applications programming language first, digging its way down to the system.

Rust on the other hand tries to be a system programming language, but with no success at that. And it's not a popular Applications programming language because there's no support from any major software platform vendor.

Swift doesn't have a runtime, a linked library isn't a runtime, if you think it is, then you don't have the qualifications to discuss this.

It is not a problem to store one 50meg file on my 32GB iPhone or 128GB server, it would be in a 32KB microcontroller, but nobody is trying to ship Swift as a language for those.
I think partnering with MOOCs is a great idea. I've been taking the Deep Learning Foundations Nanodegree from Udacity and thought it would be awesome if we got some sort of discount to try this out.

If you're salary, then the 4 day 'deal' is a Faustian bargain. You will be expected to be available for free on the fifth day

How do you expect that would happen? Does your company expect you to be available on Saturdays or at four in the morning? If not, why would they expect you to work during your other off times?

For me, switching to four eights was simply a matter of letting the right people know, then no longer showing up on Mondays. If you sent me an email on Monday, you'd get a reply on Tuesday. If you scheduled me into a meeting on Monday, I'd politely remind you of my schedule. It was never an issue.

Incidentally, I strongly recommend this schedule over five day weeks. The extra day makes way more difference to your quality of life than you would reasonably expect.

Mozilla – why they become like Chrome - a try of an analysis
Mozilla - has one big problem! Mozilla tried to fight against IE and have been able to break it's dominance a bit with useful and cool features.

Then Chrome arrived. Moz tried the same strategy too, but it was not working. So they tried to beat Google with their own weapon. Again it did not worked out. So why still going on with that. Moz had a nice market share. Enough to shove it into Google's face and make them realize that they are not winning to 100%. But Moz wanted to become number one, no matter what it has to be done to reach that goal

History has showed it that crusades never will lead to success. Mozilla are crusaders on a holy war for destroying Google Chrome. But: Crusades never will lead to success. We had a believe driven crusade which failed. We had a war driven crusade which failed (luckily). What makes you believe that you win your crusade?

Also to count into is the following: https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2017/02/16/the-road-to-firefox-57-compatibility-milestones/#comment-223542 Jorge made it more than clear that ui customization is no longer a supported functionality

Also what Mozilla often talks about: Maintenance costs is a reason, but not the biggest. The thing is simple users are representing the biggest part of the market share . So companies today restrict and remove features from which they know that simple users are not going to accept them and refusing to use a browser with such features inside. Ask a simple user if he would use a software with customization and tons of accessibility features inside. The answer is a clear no-brainer. Saved money is a nice side effect, but not the main reason of all that. We experience a 180 degree shift of priorities. Advanced users are the one's who lose everything as it is not possible to earn enough with users like us today.

What is your opinion about that?

> When you see the child in absolute terror, ask yourself "is this the right way to entertain a child, through pure terror?"

Maybe instead of reaching all kinds of dubious conclusions based on anecdotal evidence on how children look like during certain parts of the movie, you should instead ask the child, after the movie is over, whether he liked it or not. I think you will find that the vast majority of children greatly enjoy most Pixar movies.

The claim that Pixar movies, or the levels of violence depicted in them, are harmful to children or to society, has zero evidence in support of it.
Some things to consider:

What made today different from another day? What, as someone asking, would I not know? I know you probably went and typed on a keyboard and ate lunch, but I don't know that you finally solved that bug in production and feel awesome or that Steve from accounting turned up late, giggling, with Dave and they've been making excuses to see each other at work for the last few weeks.

What's different? What's changed? Over time these things fit into a larger story, the buildup of Steve and Dave's romance has been happening for weeks.

What's relatable for the person asking? If I'm another dev then telling me about that new library you got to use that's fun might be interesting, for others maybe not. Although you can often find interesting ways of talking about it to someone who is inquisitive, I talk a lot about bits of tech to my wife and explain how things work and why things are as they are, sometimes it's relevant to what she's doing. In return she's explained a lot about NMR machines and biology to me.

For practice, perhaps, I'm a developer but probably not using the same tech stack. How was your week? Since I don't know anything about your office or things, imagine you'd already told me what had happened the week before. What's changed, what's new?

Finally, it's also OK if not much really happened. But if nothing really happened, was that good or bad for you? Why? Was it a quiet week and that's different, or are the quiet weeks becoming less interesting? Is it quiet but there's a buildup of expected work coming in a few weeks?

> I write comments, I read readmes and documentation, and I find shared, human descriptions of larger granularity design abstractions useful.

Oh, I have nothing against that, except the word "shared". I just don't think that "design patterns" (from the GoF book) helpfully contribute to that. In practice, it really depends what you want or don't want to gloss over as a technical detail, and just saying "there is this pattern" doesn't give you enough flexibility to do it.

What I am saying there is a trade off - if you decide to name something, you should define it well enough not to be misunderstood. If you can't or don't want to define it well enough, better not name it at all (except maybe temporarily), just describe your intuitions/feelings about it. The authors of "design patterns" seem to be oblivious to this trade off (although I think it wasn't really their fault that the names for patterns got so popular, I think they just wanted to have fancy chapter titles).

It's interesting though. When I describe how something works or should work, I use terms like "client", "server", "memory", "unique random number", "sort by", "find maximum", "queue", "remote call", "common API" etc. But I never found a compelling reason to describe things in names of (standard) design patterns. Why are not these terms considered to be design patterns? In my opinion, it is because the design patterns tend to be overly specific in some ways (talking about class/interface relations) without adding enough substance to be meaningful on their own.

So I don't find them useful to describe design (overly specific), nor I find them useful to describe code (not formal enough). They are just kind of slippery for both use cases.

Because 99% of the interest in this is people who don't have a life (or a job, or a girlfriend, or...) just to say "see, APPLE COPIED this from the open source community, those bastards" like we constantly see from the Rust guys since Swift debuted.

Swift doesn't have not one, but MANY MILLIONS of things necessary to be a systems language before memory ownership.

It will be one day, but it's only at it's infancy at 2 years old.

Right now, Swift works well for Apps, and it's stupid that low level of memory management when you have GCD.

South Korea here. Nearly everyone has a credit card, and every legitimate business accepts them. The government has been trying really hard for the last 10 years or so to force everyone to use plastic, primarily as a means to curb tax evasion by small businesses. Consumers can even get a tax credit for the amount they spend with a credit card.

Debit cards (called "check cards" here) are becoming more popular lately. Thanks to the aggressive adoption of credit cards, the infrastructure to handle debit cards was already there by the time the government decided to extend the tax credit to debit cards as well. Nowadays it's a toss-up between credit cards and debit cards.

But what we call credit cards here is a bit different from the American counterparts. Most Korean credit cards require you to pay the whole balance every month, unless you specifically request a different payment plan at the time of purchase. The amount you have to pay for each of the next few months, including interest, is also fixed at the time of purchase. You can't just pay an arbitrary fraction of your balance or transfer your balance to another card. So it's halfway between a traditional charge card and an American-style revolving credit card. Some banks do have revolving credit cards available, but AFAIK they are not very popular.

My understanding of Apple's argument is that currently, it would take a significant investment of resources to introduce a working hardware vulnerability to a target device, and that if this ability became commoditized (and thus viable on a larger scale) the decreased security might cause irreparable harm in the time it takes us to collectively correct it. Say, a device that stores screen tap locations and exflitrates as you walk by free public wifi? Don't know how practical that is but you get the idea. There's no hardware equivalent of a hash function to verify that what you've acquired is what you requested. Most people will never take it apart to check or would be able to spot something amiss if they did.

pass laws to protect physicians from frivolous lawsuits or at least limit damages

Several US states have harsh caps on medical malpractice damages. They still see massively-rising medical costs. And in uncapped states the rate of growth in malpractice damage awards hovers very close to the rate of inflation of the US dollar.

Which sort of destroys the argument that "frivolous lawsuits" and massive damage awards drive medical costs in any significant way.

I heard Elon say that if they were to produce 1M cars per year, they would need to consume all Lithium-Ion batteries produced in the year 2014. Obviously there will be more batteries produced in 2020, but Tesla's fate would be at the mercy of the battery producers, which could collude to drive the price of batteries.

For better or worse, Tesla is hell-bent on vertically integrating every single aspect of production. I believe they might be working on software that will allow them to stop relying on NVDA's chips for self driving as well. "First principles" business model will make or break Tesla/Elon.
Very interesting. I need to read up on smart contracts to better understand your post but the first question that comes to mind is: if you use virtual machines to run the code and test the exploits, against which platform(s) would those VMs be built? Would the idea be to standardize on one virtual infrastructure (and therefore class of exploits) or would you allow just about anything?

I ask because I can imagine some (or many) PoCs would require hardware and software of a different platform than usual e.g. qemu+x86_64 vs ARM vs MIPS. So, I guess I see a somewhat complex infrastructure problem that this would need to have solved.

Perhaps the VM for running the exploit and exploited code in question should be wrapped around the binary that the vendor distributes, with an intention that it be e.g. ELF on x64 Linux 4.x, statically compiled?
This concept is already in use to a limited degree. Car registration, taxes on gas, real estate taxes, etc, are all taxes on assets that produce income. A robotic tax is just an extension of that.
What we've tested with our platform (https://www.aidlab.com/developer) was to reach out as many as possible local geeks/hackers and ask them to play with our device. We stopped coding, manufacturing, prototyping etc for like 2 months, just to show our poor designed, glitchy prototype (it was far far away from the MVP).

So we have presented them what's going on inside in-depth, what are the possibilities, and what are we currently struggling with. They were really eager to help - some of them actually bought the product so we had both: market validation and great feedback.

In the US, the law is a combination of the written letter of the law and the interpretation courts have given to that letter via precedent. This extends to the Constitution. If there aren't rulings about an issue close enough to the one at hand, then the law is, in fact, unknowable.

In addition, qualified immunity applies to civil suits, not criminal cases. If a prosecutor had deemed the officers' behavior worth prosecuting as a crime, qualified immunity would not help them (though I don't know if something equivalent exists for criminal offenses).

To recap, qualified immunity gives government officials cover from civil actions when the law is unknowable.

I'm sorry but tacky and dirty? In what way is cash back questionable? Lol.

And for your second point, banks also are a large portion of those issuing credit cards. While banks do offer some form of fraud protection, it takes time, you could wind up losing your money, and while your waiting for your money to be recovered you could wind up having overdue bills. I can't pay my mortgage with a credit card, for example. With a credit card, if something happens it simply doesn't matter to me. More often than not the banks catch the fraudulent transaction when it happens and notifies you, then they just overnight you a new credit card while they just investigate the transaction as their own problem and not yours. The first and only time I've been a victim of credit card fraud, somebody attempted to purchase ~$2,000 in jewelry. My bank called me, told me they thought it was fraud and that they had declined the transaction. I told them it was fraud and they sent me a replacement card overnight. If that was my debit card? I'm out $2,000 and have to hope that the bank sorts it out in my favor.

Even if the benefits didn't exist for travel, cash back, etc..., the security of not having to worry about having cash stolen is very compelling.
Another thing to note is that some of the attempts to show cognitive bias at work are more easily explained by deliberately misleading or confusing wording of questions (i.e., framing a question in such a way that the person being asked thinks the question is "what is the conditional probability of Y given X" when the questioners then turn around and say "gotcha! We were really asking for the base rate of Y in the general population!").

There's both more risks but also there's a substantial time pressure on doctors which engineers generally do not face when designing something (ask an engineer to design a critical part of a bridge in an hour and they'll rightly tell you to fuck off, but a doctor often has less time to make critical decisions). The other problem, which is fixable, is the general overworking of medical professionals. The hours they work are often ridiculous, and this also worsens the time pressure and means there's less scope for serious review.

As I understand it, the benefits of fasting come from the energy liberated from not having to digest food, energy that can be spent on repairing the body (this is why animals don't eat when they're sick).

If you don't have medical problems that would prevent fasting, do 5 days of REAL fasting or one day a week or whatever feels right to you. Then you will understand that for western people "hunger" is more psychological than physical.

The longest fast I did was 2 weeks. I could have gone longer physically (no hunger sensation) but psychologically I needed to eat something.
I do much shorter but more frequent fasts nowadays, it's easier on the willpower.
