I think the biggest problem of IoT right now is the perception of what's possible... We've been building internet connected devices for decades, but that's still what people perceive as IoT ('we put a chip'-movement). However, I think the true opportunity for IoT lays in the combination of the cost of sensors going down, the range of sensors going up, and the advent of machine learning.

With cheaper and longer-range sensors we can create vast sets of data on a scale that we haven't seen before, and with machine learning we can extract useful information from this data. With that premise it's also not hard to see why IoT in the consumer market is not such a big success, but you see big industrial players pour billions into IoT projects [1].

There's some other concerns of course too, like the impact that all this data might have on society and that the state of IoT security reflects the state of web security around 1999. If you're interested in that, I did a talk about the subject last week at the AMSxTech conference (20 minutes) [2].

If you pay close attention, and consider the general rule about shitting on your own doorstep, Mexico's unchecked violence is China knocking.

It's really not in American interests to have a wave of violence destabilizing a neighbor that shares a border. China wants the Panama Canal, or something like it. China also has lots of mind bending chemicals it can dump into America, to slow things down economically, while profiting from the trade.

America doesn't want violence in Mexico because it fucks things up for Americans. China, on the other hand, does not give one single fuck about what happens in Mexico, because it's far away, and there are no direct effects.

When an external actor is capable of fanning these flames, it also shows Mexico how powerless America is, as far as keeping allies safe. America isn't the trouble maker here. The violence is pointed at America, given America's involvement in other places, like the middle east, as a check to those American power plays.

Is this not quite obvious? Just look at the geography, and the rest follows.
> the last two let you use Groovy,Java,Scala and a host of other languages as well

Neither Python nor R run on the JVM, so if you end up using Java,Scala,Kotlin,etc then you've decided to open that JVM can of worms which is another huge pile of tradeoffs.

> Je tS3t, and using a language like Groovy or Scala makes it easy to tame. And Groovy is integrated deeply into Jenkins which has evolved beyond a CI tool into a general purpose dashboard

If you end up there, know that only a subset of Apache Groovy is used by Jenkins, e.g. Groovy collections methods aren't supported. Each step along the "native Python or R" -> "Java on JVM" -> "Scala or Groovy" -> "Jenkins as dashboard" decision process entails some cost-benefit tradeoffs which need to be assessed.
Travelled up to Cairns from Melbourne last year and visited the reefs on a day trip.

Whilst amazing, the bleaching had clearly started although not fully set in. It was as such a bitter sweet experience. I regret not going earlier, having been in Australia for over a decade - yet grateful to have seen it in some semblance of its glory before it's gone. And very sad - and angry - that it is going.

I am angry because we have direct control over the mining that contributes directly to this calamity. However the going rule is that politicians must bend over backwards to accommodate them; or I guess that's just what they pay for? It certainly feels as corrupt as.
Only the size is an issue, the performance otherwise is great.

There is even performance debugging built in, so you can monitor how your app performs.

If you ignore the debugger and just build insane things, of course it's going to be slow...
I'm pretty sure prior versions had no software. Adding software without showing exactly what that software does seems more dangerous than trying to handle everything without explaining how it is handled.

I think the article is interesting, but the headline is wrong. Sleep is a status signal, but it isn't new and it isn't positive. Think about how many idioms and colloquies connect sleep with sloth, licentiousness and shame.

No, the status symbol of sleep is how little of it you've had.

Admittedly it'd probably be harder to sell sleep deprivation than something that ostensibly helps with the problem.

It is 2017. Do not use mail() directly unless you completely understand how it works and its pitfalls (here, at least 2 vectors remain unsanitized).

Instead, go for e.g. PhpMailer: it is a self-contained library which offers a significantly saner and safer interface for sending e--mails, while retaining all the flexibility. (Also, it is 2017: when you try sending HTML e-mails with mail() directly, your experience will be PAINFUL. Again, a library such as PhpMailer saves you from reinventing a 20-year-old wheel.) The amount of time I have personally saved by not touching mail() would be several man-months.
The high-tension power-line tower people have a better approach.[1] They have a way to make the tower segments self-align, using a square of cables that fits around angled guides atop the section already in place. So the helicopter puts a section on without help from the ground, and with no workers near the tower. Once the helicopter has cast off, workers climb up and bolt the sections together, and remove the alignment guides.

Ski lift installations are rare, but power line towers go up by the tens of thousands. So the power line people need a way to do this routinely and safely.

Being on the right side of a knifes edge event (Toba example) doesn't prove we're resilient, it shows how susceptible we are to forces beyond our control, just as retrospectively guessing a coin toss doesn't mean we can predict the future, that's the anthropic principal at work. The second example shows how susceptible Civilization is.

I don't get why all this chat is about software, licensing and software safety.

The way I read it, a farmer can't change even, say, a brake pad (or whatever tractors use) without authorization from John Deere. I very strongly doubt that they want to mess with the software, they just want to perform minor maintenance themselves.
It would be interesting to see what they tried to bill them. I can push out 70TB for about $700 right now (through our 11 PoP anycast network). AWS S3 would have cost $5,717.85 according to their calculator. My guess is the bill is somewhere in the middle.

If you don't need a fancy anycast network, you can buy a 1GbE pipe from Hurricane Electric for about $400/mo and push 192TB/mo through it. Actually they include that when you get their $400/mo server cabinets in the bay area. Probably not the best option ever, but I don't think S3 is 14.29x better than it. Dedicated server providers like OVH might be okay with it too, probably ask them first. But if you had 2-4 servers and round-robined them my guess is you would be fine. You could get one server in Europe and one in NA and GeoDNS them and get probably-good-enough close to what an anycast network can do. For ~$200/mo. Not too bad.

I've given my rant a million times so I won't do it again, but "The Cloud" heavily upcharges on bandwidth. Or they tell you it's "unlimited" (a word I've learned through experience to hate) then tell you "except for the kind of stuff you're doing" and send a bill or shut you down. If you've got to ship a ton of bandwidth, you should at least look into the alternatives.

If you really want to go future tech, look into something like IPFS (https://ipfs.io) - it was built for stuff like this and it's going to make a real dent in transit costs for heavy data sets, CDNs, package distribution and the like. I absolutely cannot wait for the distributed web.

> can we maintain the level of technological sophistication we've reached?

Probably not but I doubt we'd regress very much. The world's population of less than 2 billion in the early 20th century was able to produce automobiles, airplanes, radios, etc. With the benefit of all the inventions and knowledge left behind I bet just a billion people could pretty easily maintain at least an early to mid 20th century level of technology. It would be a step backwards for sure but in the context of human progress it would be a minor blip.

I think that's because, we tend to have a strict opinion of what IoT is. And that's apparent in industrial use, where it just collects data to relay it so that other people can make use of it.

But the IoT in our homes are much more subtle. People don't just buy standalone temperature sensors.

If you see carefully, the IoT wave we're expecting is coming in slowly, bundled with other things. These days most of the appliances which were dumb before, like fridges, coffee makers, security cameras, smoke detectors, washing machines, cleaners (roomba, etc.) and others are now connecting to the internet. I mean, a washing machine connecting to the internet might seem preposterous so some now, but I don't think that'll be the case when they get better.

Along with Alexa, Google Home, the digital assistants that are yet to come have a chance to really change the way people use their devices at home. If they get it right, and not close off communication to their own servers (Which, I sadly see is happening now and doesn't seem like it'll go away) I think there's a real chance they might have a big market.
I am wondering whether this is subject matter specific. For math, I've heard Freeman Dyson write when he was a child "I had read some of the popular literature about Einstein and relativity, and had found it very unsatisfying. Always when I thought I was getting close to the heart of the matter, the author would say, 'But if you really want to understand Einstein you have to understand differential equations,' or words to that effect." Later on, he goes on to say how he ordered Differential Equations by H. T. Piaggio with over seven hundred problems, most of which he solved over Christmas vacation. Then when he attempted Peter Eddington's Mathematical Theory of Relativity, it came very easily after the differential equations practice.

Then for something like software engineering, I can imagine that a "project-first approach" as you call it may work well.

Wow the public relations sock-puppetry on HN is getting very clever and sophisticated. I really love the green account - nice touch. It really helps your authenticity to pretend like you are afraid of retribution from John Deere when you are totally kissing their asses.

Let me ask you this -- why in the world do the lines of software you write prevent a qualified mechanic from changing a transmission? You know people used to do that all the time when tractors had zero lines of software in them.

After all you are trying to very cleverly change the subject here. You are doing it very deftly, as you should, because you are not a software developer, you are a PR drone and it is your job to deftly change the subject.

The question here is not about the quality of the John Deere software, so it does not really matter how many engineers worked on it or how hard they worked on it. The problem is that the John Deere software takes away an essential right of property ownership that people take for granted.

No one is accusing the JD software of being faulty, i.e., incapable of serving it's intended purpose. People are accusing the software of having nefarious purposes and serving them all too well.
That's a client issue, not an Nginx issue. Try accessing it through an stunnel tunnel, for example.

We are a rich and educated country, however our politics is one that promotes extreme toxicity in the major parties towards any 'difficult' issues. Look at how non-committal MPs are about so many issues when interviewed. Never mind how much of a joke parliament is, especially during question time, where it's more important to score petty points against the other side than debate policy. You just have to look at the UK Commons question time footage for a very eye-opening contrast.
And during that time you using whose funds? And how long you develop your thing alone?

Are you well versed in interchange? Have you seen there merchant processing statement? What was their average ticket, Visa/MC/Amex/DC breakdown, total volume, and pricing (basis points, trans fee, plus hidden fees)?

If your a restaurant, you are going to take many more premium cards. My example is from grocery, where debit cards are common, and the retailers are extremely aggressive and sue companies like Visa on a quarterly basis.

>Do you know if data about industry-wide averages rather than the folks you work with?

Lololololol, that is a good one! No, this is an extremely fractured industry with literally hundreds of players, operating using pyramid scheme brainwashing tactics, and in ACN's and CDS's cases, as actual pyramid schemes (the latter pushed via a church).

Industry players don't share, and there are contracts & regulations preventing First Data, Tsys & Elavon from aggregating and distributing that type of info about their ISOs portfolios. Akin to the firewall in Investment Banking between analysts and bankers, it isn't about to come tumbling down.

What I can tell you is running a bit below 1% cost is fairly common in the supermarket vertical. Restaurants and other retail trend higher, due to their poor lobbying power, but still you should be well within 2.5% if not 2% if your clientèle aren't all exclusively using top tier cards and you aren't processing through some racket like Card Data Services where your fellow parishioner sold you payment processing that is 150 basis points over interchange.

This is because legs and thighs are fatty, and Americans have come to associate animal fat with health problems. White meat is leaner, and is therefore perceived to be healthier and more expensive.

I always found that "semantic" approach very misleading. In computer languages "semantics" is what the computer does with your input. This is the semantics of C, for example. Markup languages are no different. Until you have a clear specification what computer does with the markup, you have no semantics. I.e. <b>, <font>, and <blink> tags have perfect semantics, while things like <figure> or <article> have none or very vague wishy-washy one.

That can be more difficult than one can anticipate. This isn't like a desktop or web app where there's a second layer of security, like firewalls/AV and sandboxes respectively. IoT tends to be neglected in terms of updates, and with the new version of the device coming out every couple months, I would imagine there would be devices that won't receive security updates not long after they're bought.

In case of IoT they're in charge of the whole device, and the security of those things aren't looked into a lot. Sounds stupid, but it does need it's own specialists. Otherwise you're going to end up with a lot more insecure devices.
