That's cool and all but how on earth is it not more financially advantageous to just port their software to Linux and run it on commodity hardware?

This is staggeringly inefficient. Not just in the cost of the hardware, but all the lost time spent designing this rack system. Not to mention the costs of performing repairs. Macs are not designed for maintainability.
Fonts are the only type of vendor resources where this actually somewhat works – Google fonts has a rather large marketshare that allows it, and sites usually just dependent on the font, not a specific version of it.

With js or css libraries, there are usually multiple CDNs and every website uses a different patch version anyway.
> Re: the LG shielding mishap, you're blaming Apple for a completely different company's product, okay.

It's a monitor Apple effectively blessed as their monitor replacement. They sold it. So... yeah. Yeah, I do blame them for their lack of due diligence.

Why is this their problem?

Because, how am I supposed to rely on Apple to meet my needs if they are perfectly happy dropping products a business depends on?

> Which demographic and what do you require?

Not the OP, but none of the half-dozen developers/tech-oriented people I know who have switched to the latest laptops prefer them over the older ones. I've heard nothing good about them besides being a bit lighter, but that was one person and it was more a "the only thing better is it's a bit lighter" before listing complaints.

The complaints range from the touch bar to performance being far worse than older models. Running side by side, it's noticeable just by watching things run.

> What?

Are you not aware of the touch bar?
It's so striking how people who view the "soft sciences" this way really have no understanding of science at all. It's a very American thing and it really reveals the extent to which science has been socially constructed in America to be some kind of infallible truth machine. The hard-on for infallibility is so striking -- there's something about sociality, uncertainty, nuance, luck, and fallibility that really terrifies these people on a foundational level.
> There are safer, better alternatives for almost everything we do. But economy dictates that we end up with a compromise. Rust would be just another compromise, slightly different stage, no huge difference and potentially a huge cost.

I think the argument is that the economics need to change. People need to stop being irresponsible - we need liability when someone is negligent, just like in any other engineering discipline.

>
Silver bullets in software development do not exist, rust is no exception to this and the irrational hyping of rust as being a silver bullet actually has the opposite effect.

I keep seeing this, and yet I have not once seen anyone call it a silver bullet.

> Also, and this is another point of irritation with me, the rust community makes it seem as if theirs is the only language that will avoid this kind of bug, which is far from true, there are other platforms / languages with far wider adoption that have these traits as well.

I don't think you understand "false equivalence". You responded to someone concerned about corporations turning people into the government because of things in their private web histories.

Your response was they should, if those people were clearly committing crimes.

My response was, it's very rarely clear whether some is committing a crime or not from their web history, and that companies can be easily coerced into sharing information that is just indicative of a possible crime, which can lead to innocent people being harassed or charged.

Specifically thousands of crimes a day (if not more) are committed by Facebook users, and some of those users leave traces of those crimes on Facebook. Facebook is heavily incented to help turn in those criminals to show they are good corporate citizens, and to head off extensive regulation and even civil penalties that could be created by grand standing lawmakers. Facebook has little to no incentive to protect my rights.

Now my kid posts "I love weed" on their FB profile, and it's caught the massive dragnet of data being turned over to authorities every day from Facebook. Police get a warrant, bust down my door, and arrest my child if they find weed in their room. If my kid had a couple ounces of pot and the cops think I'm a jerk, they may seize my home.

http://www.cnn.com/2014/09/03/us/philadelphia-drug-bust-hous...

If they don't find weed but find painkillers in my wife's purse not accompanied by her legal prescription for them, they will arrest her to justify the raid.

Or a dozen other bad things could happen, like they could shoot my barking 60 lb dog (who has never bitten anyone in her life), or worse.

So no, I don't want web service providers who have access to my personal information sharing that information with law enforcement. The police can do real police work to catch real criminals, most of their time they seem to abuse the constitution to arrest people for victimless crimes, I don't think they need more tools for that.
Can confirm. Ubuntu, supposedly the most user-friendly Linux desktop distro, can't even get it close to being right.
> “If I am a founder, I have to wait until I sell my company to make some money,” says Adamovicz, explaining that the core of their innovation is the ability to make investment money much more tradable. “Our system is making this classically static, illiquid asset liquid. We make this money flow very fast.”

From the article you linked.

I take issue with that. Making it easy for founders to cash out before they sell the company is just going to make it easy for founders to exit on a bad investment while passing the loss off to whoever they can market the loss to. Founders need to stay financially connected to what the found and see it through to a proper sell or eat the cost.

A system like this will just create a ton of companies with "good" ideas where the founders then tokenize their companies, sell them off and then let them fail. Part of being a founder is having risk. If the risk is too much then maybe your idea is bad. If your idea is good, then the risk should not be a problem.

That all being said, still you could do this without blockchain. You could just as easy -- per your example -- reserve 5% of your company to be sold to individuals and not big investors or PEs. You could even still do Newfund without having a blockchain as well. So to me, using a blockchain is just a way to hype of a bad idea.
Sometimes its best to answer a question with a question.

Are you simply curious or is there something more pressing?
For example, do you want some light reading or have you perhaps been asked to implement machine learning for your company?

Most answers here assume you want to jump into the ML swamp and start analyzing your trove of "big data" ASAP. But is that so?

There is a lesser known uncertainty relationship that works similar to the one seen in position/momentum.

This is especially treacherous since atomic clocks seek to measure time by counting energy state transitions in cesium atoms.

I'm not sure whether it applies at the scales we currently work with.
Fair point. But I still think it's a fine headline. Any ambiguity is quickly resolved in the article - headlines can't convey everything, and I think it says the most important part.

well, in that case, I guess the real problem is what the subtitle claims.

>Trait increases tolerance, improves decision-making, study says
The foundational law has been around for over 25 years. It doesn't require anything of your personal website anymore than it would require your personal home to have wheelchair ramps.

> What if the scope were broadened so that all websites required content compatibility modes for color blindness or spectrum sensitivity?

The law already requires reasonable measures to provide access to people with disabilities. If a business website's colors prevents a customer from using the site, they could already make it a legal matter. But that doesn't happen often, it's much easier for everyone for a customer to contact the business, explain the problem, and for the business to make a change that corrects the problem (more likely, some number of customers explain and eventually something is done).

But standards and expectations do change over time, what's considered reasonable partially depends on technical possibilities, their general availability, and cost. It's reasonable to expect web sites to work with screen readers because they're readily available on almost all the computers people use; if screen readers didn't exist, it would not be reasonable to expect web sites to provide a purely aural interface for the vision impaired.

> the judge found that it would be “irrational to conclude [that] places of public accommodation are limited to actual physical structures.”[1] That's quite an interesting interpretation.

It's an interpretation that makes sense. The purpose of the law is to ensure people with disabilities have access to goods and services, it matters not whether such access involves concrete, paper, or ones and zeros.
This seems like a strawman. "Rust prevents these bugs", "Oh, but Rust doesn't prevent all bugs!".
Xonsh – A modern shell that enable python in your terminal
I looked at multi-platform tools initially, but decided that CFN was probably much more suitable for my AWS-only needs. There are several limitations with CFN (especially early on) so I built an engine[0] in NodeJS & Handlebars that allows you to create complex CFN templates from simple JSON "blueprints".

Some of the things I like about it are that it allows me to have multiple environments (Prod, Dev, QA, etc.) where each stack can be slightly different but still related. It also has global variables (ie. office IP address) that allow you to change something in one place and have it be updated everywhere. Finally, AWS resources are defined in Handlebars partials it's easy to add new ones or maintain existing ones as AWS adds more functionality.

It's still a work in progress and I updated it almost every week. If you like working with NodeJS I'm always looking for help. :)

It's explained in the article, but the TL;DR is that CF and DNSimple are simple pretending that a CNAME on the root domain is the corresponding A or AAAA record instead.

Rather than ask the question, "What if sociologists had influence?", the author should ask, "What does sociology need to change as a discipline in order to earn influence?"

The answer would be rigor. A huge problem with sociology is the dependence on the story. Unfortunately, since the sociologist is often a human with their own biases, they are going to see what they want to see.

For example, I purchased the Kindle version of the book the author recommends ("Coming Up Short"). I turned to the appendix, where the author describes her research methodology. And sure enough, the research involves open-ended questions ("Walk me through a typical day at work." "Is there a time you lost a job? Could you describe it?") that could lead the interviewee to respond in any way they want.

There are many problems with this, such as : 1) the interviewee may inadvertently invent convenient narratives that provide comfort but aren't accurate, 2) the interviewer may mis-interpret the answers, etc.

How are we supposed to develop policy off of this? Sure, it's a great starting point for starting research, but the narrative- or story-based approach should never be the conclusion.

This is why economics is so much more trusted. Although economics has flaws, and the study of econometrics can sometimes lead to incorrect conclusions, it at least uses objective data and metrics, which are less susceptible to error, providing a much more grounded approach to policy decisions.

> a de-facto industry standard that non-experts use to judge things against

What purpose does a standards body have if not to set industry standards? Even if it's a government standard, would it not better than 99% of specifications a one-off contract would include? I mean – if it becomes outdated, the contractors can always make their case, and they'll probably have Google etc. not following the standard either to point at.

Also: slippery slope fallacy.

So on average there are about two bikes per dock? Seems to me like the bigger news here is the corruption of officials across cities in the bay area. Exclusivity clause. 2 bikes per dock. $5000 to maintain one bike. Check, check, and check. Sounds like the most inefficient, stupid way of building a bike network possible unless your goal is to make a lot of money for the contractor.
Maybe not rubbish, but it sure isn't science. Nice opinion article -- probably.
I believe accent issues are just as much a problem if not more in the communities around the world that use sign language. After all, signed languages can be as different from each other as spoken languages are from each other. I know you had in mind a hypothetical universal sign language and probably weren't mistaking "sign language" as being the same everywhere, but I'm just saying I don't think we would escape the issue of accents so easily.

Luc Steels was doing this years ago (since mid-1990s IIRC):

https://www.google.com/search?client=opera&q=luc+steels+inve...

Ah, yes, I see that a paper referenced on the website:

"A Paradigm for Situated and Goal-Driven Language Learning
Jon Gauthier, Igor Mordatch"

grants a footnote to one of Steels' 2012 publications, stating:

"A related line of work in evolutionary linguistics constructs a similar language learning scenario entirely without fixed-language agents (Smith et al., 2003; Steels, 2012; Kirby et al., 2014). All of the agents in these environments construct a novel language simultaneously to accomplish some shared task. This is an interesting separate line of research, but ultimately a separate task from the understanding and acquisition problems discussed in this abstract."
If you use the bike twice a day, it's still 48 EUR per year, as long as each ride is less than 30 minutes.
If it helps, you could read it as "thugs that work for the TSA".

No doubt there are many fine upstanding people working for the TSA, who don't abuse their power and are angry at co-workers that do. Those people aren't what's wrong with the TSA.

The people who are a problem within the TSA are those who deny repeated requests for water or refuse to allow a person who is not under any kind of lawful detention to use their mobile phone, for, I claim, no purpose other than to assert their dominance.

The mobile phone is potentially defensible, but I challenge you to present a reasonable national security justification for denying the not-technically-a-detainee water. Until you do, I'm going to call those people thugs.

Even if they didn't who cares? For example, every motor vehicle manufacturer has an unprofitable racing effort and generates interesting concept cars and special editions to fill out the line.

Apple can have a flagship line that's break even or worse to anchor the high end. It's literally inexplicable, and I think framing it in the rational actor model is a mistake, it's best explained as a fuckup.
It would be great to teach SL in schools. For the children, it would really funny to be able to "speak" a wordless language, so they will be willing to learn. And I am quite sure that learning a new language always is very beneficial for a child, and in the case of SL it has the added benefit of helping with inhibition. Being able to communicate with deaf people and maybe (hopefully) children with other native languages make it even more interesting.
Your account of walking through the SF MOMA and being mesmerized by the possibility of turning the art into algorithms exactly mirrors my experience.

I don't think it's contradicting itself at all. It's saying (1) there's no strong correlation between ideology and intellectual humility, by their measures, and (2) while intellectual humility generally correlated with not criticizing a politician for flip-flopping, Democrats across the board we're also less likely to criticize.

Saying that correlation 2 is not string (because humbleness is not a good predictor of not-criticizing asking Democrats) does not negate point 1.

16-year-old me wanted to use professional media production tools. The combined price of Creative Suite, Logic Pro, and Final Cut was more money than I had ever seen in my life. That didn't stop me.

In college, I finally got legitimate access via site licensing and media computer labs. Lost it when I graduated.

As a working professional (not in media production), if the need came up I'd pay for any of those products easily.

I sympathize with your view. I think this approach would be fine in a world with 'good guys' who always pay and 'bad guys' who never pay. But many people fall on a bell curve between these 2 extremes (this is backed up by the work of Dan Ariely on honesty). And some these people on the curve might 'do the right thing' with a nudge in that direction.
