Note that the error rate is not proportional to the amount of RAM, it is proportional to the physical volume of the ram chips. (The primary mechanism that causes errors are highly energetic particles hitting the chips, the chance that this happens is proportional to the volume of the chips.) This means that the error rate per bit goes down as density goes up.

If you are micro-services based architecture, then it is very important to track and log a request through the multi-service calls and relate the logs.

Syslog with a common UUID set at the entry point (typically at proxy or load balancer level e.g. nginx) of the request and then logger will log the UUID as the part of UUID parameter of Syslog.

Syslog then can be parsed and also form JSON objects for the poeple in Ops and send it to a service. Basically you could have one more internal micro-service to handle logs from Syslog and then parse it and send it wherever Ops would need.

In an absolute sense there probably wouldn't be any difference—certainly none in theory anyways, based on our current scientific knowledge.

When considering logistics however, there may be. Digital and biological approaches might ultimately produce the same mind in the end, but their methods of getting there may differ considerably due to the underlying medium. That's where I suspect the ethical differences may lie.

Who knows, digital could end up being worse somehow—I certainly wouldn't want to be a HAL 9000 unit undergoing a shutdown procedure. Especially when I can just pay for singing lessons.
We generate structured logs, I.e. key-value pairs. Depending on the environment they are either formatted with logfmt or JSON. This serves our use cases quite well.

I'm discussing the challenges I've run into getting to a working installation, which is a lot more time and effort than running the installer, yet still part of the installation process.
The connectivity issues is clearly a major issue, the idea would be to actually pay the carrier to install the receivers.

Honestly I don't know the industry and this is the reason why I am here asking, so please correct me if I am wrong.

I believe that shipping companies are the least interested in this product.
The one interested are definitely companies that will receive the shipped good.

Suppose Adidas, a company that makes clothes in southeast Asia.
I believe that they are extremely interested in knowing where their pallets of Egyptian cotton is so that they can have an idea of when start the production.
The whole idea get even more interesting when you add more intermediate.
The cotton is about to get to "denim ltd" so they will start the production in two days and they will ship my denim in a week from now, great I have an extra of slack for the maintainance.
I used this as a resource when I was studying geometric modelling, since your page was way more understandable than our course notes (http://www.uio.no/studier/emner/matnat/math/MAT-INF4160/h15/...). It definitely helped with my comprehension and passing the course. So, thank you!

I'm not sure what you mean by 'advantage', they are competitors, Walmart is significantly larger with a market cap 8 times the size of Target.

So 'advantage'?? How about 'How does target compete with Walmart'? Or how is target different than Walmart?

If you look at the history of Target https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Target_Corporation, you'll see it is not as new as I would have suspected.

I think this article best describes how Target has differentiated themselves https://www.forbes.com/sites/nicoleleinbachreyhle/2014/08/28...
Similar, but the system architecture is different.

The CA system is composed of alow-moving companies like Symantec dependent on, or more specifically, beholden to fast-moving companies like Google.

In the mobile space, the situation is inverted. Android can move quickly, but they have little to no leverage over the slow-moving carriers.

Well, there ARE recipes indeed, but sometimes people (legitimate people, not spammers) have their email settings misconfigured and you have to fix things...

Example: good practice is to reject (or at least defer) an email if the sending server is not listed in the domain's SPF record. But lots of people are sending email "on behalf" of gmail without even knowing it (when their mail-server forwards a gmail-message to another address, and this address never receives it).

There are tons of little gotchas like this that you need to look into :((

> Educating a human takes many years, and we can't easily transfer knowledge between humans. There's a lot of room for improvement. Transferring knowledge between machines could be much more efficient.

You're assuming that it's possible to do efficient knowledge transfer without losing general intelligence.

Maybe in order to have general intelligence about something, you need to learn it from scratch, over time, rather than just "copying" the information.

Another problem is that you're assuming that you can build a powerful enough computer, and still retain the possibility to have them be programmable. That is, that you have easily programmable memory cells within the computer which can change its behavior. But to have easily programmable memory cells, they need space and infrastructure to access them, and they will interfere with critical timing paths. That's why if you build a special purpose ASIC for a task, it will always be faster than a CPU or GPU.

Maybe all the things we consider useless for intelligence, like playing, sleeping, exercising etc., is actually necessary. We've certainly started to see that those who focus too much on studying by cramming don't necessarily become smarter.

You can put me in the "skeptics" camp when it comes to superhuman intelligence. It may be possible, and it's fun to discuss, but it seems to me that the ones who fuzz about it are making an incredible amount of assumptions.

Imo json gives you the most flexibility and adds as much metadata the developer (applocation side) and ops (in case you use an orchestratiom such as kubernetes, etc) need.

Eg in kubernetes it's pretty common for applocations to log everything in json, kubernetes will then wrap the app logs in another layer of json that includes information about the container name, id, host ip, etc.

Microservices and containers will most likely require you to have some centralized way to view your logs (kibana etc) so ops and devs can create their own views.

Even in the basic case of tailing log files you can use a jq alias with a custom format to convert the json logs to something colorful and readable.

Ps. On mobile so i apologise for possible mistakes

Kotlin seems like a bit of a random recommendation - it's not in the TIOBE top 50, and a quick search for Kotlin jobs on indeed.com (the first job search site I found from Google) reveals several orders of magnitude fewer jobs than for anything mainstream (hell, even Haskell beats it comprehensively). Perhaps it's the next big thing though!
It's related to Git because of GitHub and the fact that it does not work without GitHub. They should've called it GitHubPitchesPowerPoint.

Git is a magic word and GitHub knows it. Spell 'git' to summon professionals of all kinds. But by releasing GitPeach, GitHub wants to show that its average 'dev' user needs help with making presentations. Is that really a problem? Presentations? Thanks, I don't need GitHub for presentations.

I'd say because putting some of our brightest minds, and best technology, to work to even further push demand for things people don't need is doing the exact opposite to what humanity needs.

Marketing has long been about manipulating people to create a perceived need, but this is stepping it up to new levels.

If capitalism wants to survive it's going to need to find a way to monetise things that are good for humanity and Earth, that's not this.

Pushing people to depend on fashion for self-worth, then dictating rapidly changing fashions in order to sell more goods ... What's good about it?

Whoever was left mining after that wouldn't get more block rewards unless it was something more extreme like bricking 70% of miners instead of just disabling them for a short amount of time. They would be able to mine 100% of blocks but there would be a lot more time between blocks until the next difficulty change. Unless it's something that would permanently break miners it wouldn't last long enough to earn the attackers anything extra in terms of extra blocks mined but facing congestion all blocks would be filled with extra high fee transactions so there would be some BTC to gain, but not from the normal block reward.
That may be true, but you're comment wasn't written in the context of a traditional brokerage firm was it?
On early PCs, Pascal and C were pretty much tied in popularity. Both were free to implement, and small enough that you could make a fast compiler on a typical PC with only 256-640 kB RAM.

C won because it was more flexible and was chosen by Microsoft, but Pascal definitely had a strong following (it was the original Mac's API language, and on PC it was a major contender thanks to the nice and fast Turbo Pascal IDE).

Ada was a complicated and rigid language designed by a Department of Defense committee. That was not great PR for those early individualist PC users. (Who wants to program in the language of "The Man"?)

If Pascal was a Cessna and C was a Learjet, then Ada was the F-35 -- complex, expensive, late.
Great piece, thanks for sharing!

* Overall digital sales up 6% to £1.7bn despite a continuation of the drop in eBook sales down 3%

I personally doubt that ebooks have 'lost their shine', I think this is more a matter of a journalist not being able to read into the numbers.

I haven't bought the report, but what little I know about the book market, I know that in 2016, adult colouring books became a BIG thing, really big! Are you going to buy those for kindle? No, so more money is spent on physical books and less on e-books.

If you're an ebook reader, you may also have noticed that Amazon has significantly raised prices on e-books in 2016. 25-50% on average it seems to me, and I often now see ebooks that cost the same as physical books. Now, I'm not going to buy a physical book because my ebook price has increased, but I do buy slightly fewer ebooks now.

Physical books have their place, but I don't see ebooks in serious decline in the near future.
SES is indeed much cheaper that the others (mailgun, sendgrid, postmark etc.)

But you have some things missing from your calculation:

1) Attachments (yes, SES charges separately)

2) Dedicated IP addresses (SES charges you separately for this)

3) S3 (where emails are stored

4) AWS Lambda (because you need a script/function, that processes incoming messages as they come in).

But yes, you're right, with SES its cheaper than others, couple of thousand tops

Ada is so stable and backwards compatible that old libraries will work just fine, unless they have external dependencies or depend on things that change fast in the outside world.

For me personally Rust is not a good Ada replacement, because 1) it has the usual obscure syntax - maybe to attract C++ programmers, who seem to like obscurity -, 2.) many semantic tricks and borrower idiosyncrasies that makes it harder to write, read and maintain than idiomatic Ada, and 3) it's fast changing. The good thing about Ada is that it is self-documenting, it's almost impossible to intentionally or unintentionally obfuscate it, and once you've written a program it will continue to work 10-20 years later.

I strongly disagree. You don't seem to be aware of the difference in approach between Deep Blue and DeepMind.

Deep Blue was hand-led directly and specifically to solve the problem of chess: It was provided with a library of opening moves, some sophisticated tactical algorithms relevant to the problem of chess, a library of strategies for chess, and so on. Many actual human masters of chess were consulted, directly or indirectly, to help with developing Deep Blue's approach to the problem.

DeepMind, on the other hand, was created as a "blank slate" with no more hard-wired instruction than "create optimal algorithms to achieve the winning state, given the inputs." Critically, its learning phase is completely self-directed. Essentially, the box is given access to the controls and the video screen content and then sent on its way.

It's instructive to note that this is pretty much exactly how, very generally speaking, evolution and intelligence solve the problem of survival: every organism has controls and a glimpse of "game state" and has to learn (collectively as a species, individually as an organism) to play the game successfully.
While this really is a terrible situation I have the following questions:

1. You are clearly working as a contractor, this requires a lot of financial discipline, why do you not have enough runway saved up to deal with this? From personal experience working as a contractor I always ensured I had 6+ months worth of runway.

2. This title inflation is really scary. You are not the CxO of anything if you are a contractor. Unless you mean you are the CxO of your own company through which you contract. However even then the way you conflate your own position in your own company and the role you fulfilled at the client does not inspire confidence.

It is truly terrible that you are in this situation and it is honestly a very horrible thing for this company to do. Either way if it does not breach the contract they have with you then there is nothing illegal about it.

At some point we all need to take a very long hard look at ourselves and realise that crying foul when the wheels come off life is not the answer. People set themselves up to not be able to absorb the terrible things that can happen in life. Some general advice that should serve anyone that is contracting well is:

1. Don't live above your means!
2. Save at least enough money to carry you through 1 year of living expenses should you lose your current contract.
3. Always keep a close eye on the contract market and move contracts regularly. That keeps you interview fit and aware of current demand.
4. Realise that life is not fair and plan for it! Not only do you sometimes get terminated by an employer (rightly or wrongly as they might simply not need your service anymore) but you could have an accident tomorrow that puts you out of work for months. (Believe me I have had such an accident and if I did not follow rules 1 and 2 I would have not been able to relax and recover fully before needing to rush back to work)

Best of luck and I hope that the lessons of this experience does not pass you by.

>Those come along with population density, social stratification, inherited wealth, etc., which are part of feedback loops that start with agriculture and permanent settlement.

I agree writing doesn't show up in a vacuum. The cuneiform clay tablets from Mesopotamia are the oldest record of "written language" but certainly not the oldest form of writing.

At least according to the current historical record argiculture dates to 12,000bc while written numbers (tallies made of wood and bone) date back 25,000-35,000 years. So unless there is some as of yet discovered agricultural civilization(s) - I think very likely - there is a problem with your feedback loop compared to the historical record: writing(numbers)came long before agriculture.
