I haven't seen the new Live Action remake of movie, but I have (like most others in here) seen and love the original.

When I saw the ads for the remake, the only thing featured is a semi-nude Scarlett Johansen, crashing through windows, doing things which exposes her as a semi-nudi Scarlett Johansen. No tech. No "ghosts".

That tells me everything I need to know about what the movie studio thinks is important about this film. My wife already has it categorised as a "new Tomb raider". She's not interested.

While the original movie had its fair share of semi-nudity, it was really down deep a cyberpunk-story and didn't compromise on that. Looking at the ads for this remake, I have no such expectations this time around.

> You know, just because you take part in or benefit from a system, it doesn't mean you can't critique it at all right?

No, but it does mean your critique is necessarily compromised, if not necessarily in a fatal way. Intellectual honesty requires this compromise be addressed, but contempt is a great deal easier.
I think we're arguing different things here. I fully agree that from a design perspective, things need to look distinctive (MacOS vs Windows vs Android etc). But implementation wise, the only actual difference is the images used and the colour of the gradient brushes.

The only shake-up UI-wise in the last 10 years was the introduction of smart phones, which meant the need to design for smaller screens, as well as work with gesture commands. Instead of adding to what we had, we spawned Bootstrap on the Web, Android has it's own custom widgets, as does IOS and so does Windows Mobile. This is the divided state of technology we live in. A smaller screen somehow communicated to people we need four new GUI frameworks.

This result stifles design, because if I design for IOS, I have to re-make everything again for android (including any custom controls, themes and so on). This has a cost, I can't support android UI controls if there doesn't exist the same on IOS, or other platforms. So people might choose to layer Xamarin on top, essentially throwing another framework into the mix. Why do we need so much abstraction?

Recently I've switched my desktop project from WPF to Eto.Forms, so it can also target Mac and Linux. But the result is I now have no mouse drag functionality, because that isn't implemented yet. These are real limitations I face everyday. What exactly is the problem I wonder? We are literally talking about squares with text/images on here. It is mind boggling.
Really? It seems that CSSO was the strong winner.

It didn't possibly create bugs by rewriting to new units (especially poorly supported units like q) and had the best results overall.

I'd like it to be a wee bit more aggressive on the rounding but other than that it seemed a clear winner.

There is another form of import which is much harder to judge. Germany imports a lot of stuff from e.g. China, so in some sense the energy production should offset what energy is used in other countries for the imported stuff.
> But as a positive note, I love that science fiction has become mainstream.

Only to the extent that any actual science fiction of substance has been watered out to the point that its just gloss, a layer of paint on top of something utterly conventional.

There's rarely any mainstream movies which are science fiction at core.
> Second batch for animals and their conditions.

We can learn a lot from animals, and clearly the data should not be protected as much as for humans. Therefore, I'm wondering, where is all the animal data? Could we already start to build models using that data? This could be useful for researching conditions that are more difficult to get data for in the case of humans.
and neither are used on Android
Yep. What really astounds me is that, when I was younger I used to associated with a lot of self-proclaimed environmentalists, the sort of people who would go to anti-<whatever> protests. They were strongly against nuclear.

Ah the irony! It is the environmentalists themselves who are directly to blame for the situation we find ourselves in now. We could have relatively-carbon-free electricity today if they had supported nuclear power.

But, putting my tin-foil hat on for a minute, I am lead to believe that the anti-nuclear movement is actually perpetuated by the fossil-fuel industry. Or maybe my B12 dependant psychosis is playing up again.
To be fair, the UK are generally quite uptight about this kind of stuff as well - particularly on radio, but also on the majority of daytime TV. Graham is something of an exception, though he's been doing it for so many years now, his competitors are catching on.
The medical industry's resistance to this (and checklists) is a shameful travesty.
Years after watching the english dub of the 1995 film I watched the Japanese original and found either the subtitle translation was way off or the English dub just seemed to capture more complex philosophical ideas. Perhaps I'm biased because my perception is limited to mostly Western culture and ways of thinking, but the Japanese version seemed terse and lacking the same descriptive language that made the concepts easy to grok.

I think the only practical solution is an old one, of using multiple spaces - a bunch of relatively closed spaces that you have to get invited to, with more open spaces that you might get invited from.

Closed doesn't have to mean secret, just that it uses a whitelist for who can post.

I'm wondering how an automated diagnosis could work in practice.

The data probably contains a number of symptoms or measurements (bloodwork), and a diagnosis by a doctor.

I can see how you can train a deep-learning model for that.

What if the patient is prescribed medication. Is the condition of the patient over time (after giving the medication) tracked by doctors?

Personally, I have found that once a doctor prescribes me some medication, he never asks me how things are going (except maybe once). So how accurate can the data be?
Yes, that jupyter+react implementation will be open source. It's not clear though how the feature parity will be. At least the document is exactly the same.

> So why bother with a "smart" TV if you're going to be using an external computer anyway. Saving a few hundred dollars to spend on that external computer seems like a better investment.

I'm in the market for a 4k TV with low input lag. If you look at input lag tests (e.g., http://uk.rtings.com/tv/tests/inputs/input-lag) you'll see that every single TV listed there is a smart TV, at least in the 43"-50" range anyway. In fact, are there even such things as "dumb" TVs anymore?

That said, I've done some more research and realised tha the LG UH6* range is actually also pretty good for low input lags and runs webOS to boot so I think I'll go for an LG instead.

Slightly related: In Vienna/Austria when you pay for a semester/yearly ticket for public transportation, you are eligible for free usage of a special taxi ("sammeltaxi") to come pick you up when the regular bus/tram isn't running e.g. after midnight. The phone number is listed on every bus/tram station, although very few people seem to use it. They claim the wait is up to 1 hour but I usually wait 15-30 minutes.
You're hard-coding 'terms' from a hypermedia 'vocab'.

The thing is, if you use well-known terms, your client will work against ANY API that uses those terms, not just the one that you coded it to work against.

Not only that, but the APIs will have flexibility to move things around, or delegate functionality to other hosts by linking through.

As for the cost of walking the chain, once a target resource has been found the can be cached, and you only need to rewalk if the resource 404/410s.

Lots of things! Because I'm not actually a practicing researcher. And the set of practicing researchers I've known is, perhaps not so oddly, disjoint with the set of dogmatic scientific positivists I've known. No one has a better grasp of the vast difference between ideal science and real science than someone who actually does science for a living.
No question they have the infrastructure to do this well. I was impressed with the quality that Yahoo managed when they streamed some live games last season - perfect clarity with zero buffering and very little choppiness to the stream that some other providers don't always manage.

Why?

The government may wish to

- provide a service that pays for itself only indirectly in the long run like investing in its citizenry and their well being.

- price a service below cost to enable the citizens who most need the service to actually benefit from it

- serve the entire citizenry not just those profitable to serve

What these have in common is that they represent a transfer of value from those who have more to society as a whole. This is pretty much how every decent functional society in existence works at scale.

Virtually nothing the government does "pays for itself" because economic systems while useful are so bizarrely insufficient by themselves that I'm not sure I have words to express it. They suffer from insufficient information, outright corruption and outright failure to encode most of what is most worthwhile in dollars, cents, and incentives.

Those who believe in capitalism alone seem to be appealing to some bizarre pure state of nature that has never existed will never exist. Meanwhile ignoring the fact that everything about capitalism as practiced anywhere on Earth is a wholly artificial mashup of perverse incentives, short time thinking, rules, regulations, and customs based in part of what can be exploited, in part on what people think is right, and in part on what people think is useful.

Given that capitalism is as artificial construct as opposed to some ideal state its easy to argue that we the people ought to use our political power transfer wealth from the haves to increase the health and well being of society as a whole.

Because of this government options will often be aligned with what society as a whole can afford and will benefit from in the long run as opposed to what those directly benefiting right now can support out of pocket.
It's becoming more and more obvious how little power is left in "the democratic process". We're slowly moving all actual decision making to authoritarian structures while the responsibility is still supposed to reside with the government, it's not a sustainable situation and the solution is fairly simple imo.

Just declare free software to be infrastructure. It is something everyone needs but no one wants to pay for so we just make everyone pay some amount of their income towards maintaining it (as well as other infrastructure) oh wait I just invented taxes - yes I'm from Europe btw.

When a company owns a platform (like an operating system) it becomes the government of that space, a position that should not be held by a for-profit entity. I know people in the US aren't so fond of taxes and tbh who can blame them when all the money goes to three letter agencies, war mongering and violence. The infrastructure (health care system, electric grid, education...) is in dire need of a reboot meanwhile the mega-corporations just build their own (competitive advantage). The fact is that the classic solution to the tragedy of the commons is to make a "democratic government" (hopefully this class of institution can be redefined in a positive way with computing) which will then regulate exploits and collect taxes for maintenance of infrastructure, all in order to keep society in equilibrium so that we may live.

I don't see how these behemoth creatures we deem too big to fail due to the short term implications of such an event can reasonably justify their existence when they are causing such long term harm to our environment (both metaphorical and physical). They are nothing but fiction and the authors are running out of material, I think it is time to face facts.

Sorry for the rant, it got off topic but I felt a need to put this into writing.

One massive thing minifying does is dead code elimination (slightly less applicable to CSS but it still applies using some build stacks)

We can build a "prod" version of the app and the minifying process will drop all the debugging code as well as any unused or uncalled functions from the output.
Design should be data informed but not data lead. Simply because data tells you about the situation now but rarely is it enough to create a model in order to predict the effect of future changes accurately. Further data generally doesn't fully describe whats happening and must be interpreted. This means both the act of understanding the product use and improving the product remain subjective at the point of design. It's only later after the product has been changed we can verify our designs.

People with good taste and domain knowledge aren't going to go away anytime soon.
Really? It's a decent enough book--and I like Clarke in general--but it's one of those novels that is a travelogue as much as anything else. I expect you'd have to add to it considerably to create more conflict or whatever for it to be a good film.
I have a slightly-related question for those of you familiar with Webpack, css modules (css-loader/style-loader), and perhaps React as well: is there any reason not to use the 'default' approach where the styles for the components are simply inserted in a <style> (with unique, generated classnames)?

To be clear: I don't mean philosophical reasons. I personally love letting javascript deal with the 'cascading' part and I don't have a problem with the idea of having styling embedded in the final page.

What I'm curious about is if this has any kind of negative impact on performance, bandwidth, etc. Because the CSS is loaded on the component level, and because Webpack 2 does tree shaking, the page will be guaranteed to only contain CSS for the components that are on the page. And if I'd 'lazy-load' parts of the app, I'd get that benefit for my CSS as well with no extra effort.

On the other hand, any benefits of having a compiled (and hopefully cached) bundle.css are offset by the need for an extra request for the css file, as well as the very likely situation that there'll be a bunch of unused css in that bundle.

Am I missing some drawback to the above-mentioned approach?

> What's scary to most (including me) about Twitter is that an angry mob may form and decide they hate me, and then use Twitter to coordinate real life actions against me.

There's multiple things going on here. We've seen use of communications channel A to organise harrasment on channel B - which is hard for B to stop ("brigading", gamergate). Gamergate escalated into real-life death threats against its targets. We've seen on-platform organisation of harrasment of people on and off the platform (this is ultimately what got Milo banned from twitter). We've also seen "news" organisations get into finger-pointing and condemnation of random citizens (e.g. Daily Mail outing a teacher as trans, resulting in her suicide).

We've seen the legal system get involved clumsily. There's seemingly no middle ground between "joke in poor taste" and "arrested for bomb threats" (#twitterjoketrial). Occasionally people resort to libel law, and even more occasionally the less powerful, famous and obnoxious person wins (Katie Hopkins vs. Jack Monroe).

People are I hope aware of the ability of abuse reporting systems to themselves become channels of abuse. Facebook's real names policy is exploited by anti-trans campaigners to force people off the platform, for example. Anyone should be aware of the risks of automated threshold systems being abused: if all you have to do is get 100 accounts to press "report abuse", that will be abused very quickly.

Local standards also present problems. Do we really want to go along with e.g. Pakistan arresting people for blasphemy?
