Reducing someone's legitimate complaint about using a networked device designed to give fashion recommendations to profile their behaviors and categorize/log all their possessions for analytics and marketing to 'you're just afraid of the future' is ridiculous. In any other industry this would be a flagrant ethics violation.
BeOS IMHO would be pretty unstoppable right now, had Apple adopted it, certainly much better/more modern than the current OS X. They should have offered $200 mil to Gassée, and brought Jobs in with a bonus of some sort, and still paid out less than they did. (Although I suppose Jobs wouldn't be enthused to work on BeOS.)
> Robinhood's massive growth is being driven largely by their target of "millennials" (ie. young adults) coming to the platform without any allegiances to legacy brokers.

Are you sure about that? I'm the only person I know in my age group using Robinhood. But it's gotten popular with my parents and their friends for example. My mom tried to sign up for Gold before I stopped her.

I don't think they're enticing millennials, just anyone who doesn't understand finance or trading very well, which it seems is most people.
To play devil's advocate:

If they don't have overhead in their networks, they cannot offer faster service to some net traffic over other net traffic. The ability to sell faster connections to some services incentivises them to have overhead in their networks to sell, which means investment into their infrastructure.
we vote for candidates who make the problem worse

Phrasing it this way makes it appear that people are thinking "which candidate will make the problem worse? I'll vote for that one." I think you'd agree that the vast majority of people are not doing this. They're voting for candidates who appeal to them and what they feel is in their best interest.

There's at least one confounding factor that may make it more difficult for one to understand the voting behavior of another: candidates represent a prioritized set of values, and that set may not perfectly (actually, very likely doesn't) match the prioritized set of values of the voter. (There are single-issue voters out there, and it would interesting to know what percentage of people are and for which issues.) For example, while a voter may appear to be voting against their economic best interest, perhaps social issues are more important to them, and they'll choose a candidate that appeals to those social issues.

And, of course, there's the biases that are a part of human psychology. We're not perfectly rational homo economicus. People can be influenced to make decisions that are against their best interests (for whatever value of best interest you'd like to propose). From that point of view, we can try to get people to vote better through education and influence. And again, what that means is up for debate: you could say voting better means for their best interests economically, but even that leaves open the question of what that means: short-term outcomes? Long-term outcomes? Economically better for their children? Grandchildren? Their community? The country? The world?

I grant you, it's not an easy problem to fix. Encouraging people to think critically as well as putting in place measures of political performance and more transparency into lobbying and contributions are a few I personally think would make a difference.
They're not, actually. Almost no one is average if you look at multiple features at once. I would guess that most people have something they wouldn't be too happy with everyone knowing about.

"In his research measuring thousands of airmen on a set of ten critical physical dimensions, Daniels realized that none of the pilots he measured was average on all ten dimensions. Not a single one. When he looked at just three dimensions, less than five percent were average. Daniels realized that by designing something for an average pilot, it was literally designed to fit nobody." [0]

In this sense, our minds are specific purpose, even if that purpose is broad.

VYM is an index fund that tracks the FTSE High Dividend Yield Index invests in global equities (excluding REITs) with high dividend yields. About 1/3 of the current index is in 10 stocks all US: Microsoft Corp., Exxon Mobil Corp., Johnson & Johnson, JPMorgan Chase & Co., Wells Fargo & Co., General Electric Co., AT&T Inc., Procter & Gamble Co., Pfizer Inc. and Chevron Corp.

QYLD is even more exotic. It seeks to track the CBOE NASDAQ-100 BuyWrite Index. That index in turn seeks to track the performance of a theoretical portfolio of the 100 largest NASDAQ stocks on which covered calls are written with a certain formula. Covered calls are a type of options strategy.

I'm just another rando on the internet, but I would recommend neither VYM nor QYLD to people new to investing who aren't sure what to buy. VTI is a far more appropriate suggestion. As would be VT (like VTI but looking at all stock markets), BND (index fund for US investment grade bonds), and maybe BNDX (ex-US investment-grade bonds with currency hedges)
That depends on how you look at the situation. His father and brother, who knew both the deceased and his general situation far better than you do, have made statements that strongly suggest otherwise:

“He was always the smartest guy in the room,” said his father, Joe Thomas. But while working at Uber, “he went down the tubes. He became someone with very little confidence in himself. The guy just fell apart.”

“It’s hard to explain, but he wasn’t himself at all,” said Zecole Thomas. “He’d say things like, ‘My boss doesn’t like me.’ His personality changed totally; he was horribly concerned about his work, to the point it was almost unbelievable. He was saying he couldn’t do anything right.”

I recently watched a NOVA documentary from last year that refutes the Eurocentric theories of Clovis origins.

Great Human Odyssey: http://www.pbs.org/video/2365856257/

Geneticists sequenced the DNA from a young boy's 13,000-year-old bones found in Montana. His DNA matches a specific combination of Eastern Asian and Siberian DNA that is found in all North and South American native populations, and only in these populations. This lends to the theory that the first people to permanently settle the America's (Clovis) were made up of groups from Siberia and Eastern Asia combining and crossing the Bering Strait.
Counting the years before it was available to the general public seems unfair.
Wait, so now building codes are going to get involved with what I run in my house after it is built and inspected? That doesn't sound like building codes. If anything, regulation from the FCC or someone else would be more uh, fitting.
Ok, you completely lost me on the point you are trying to make wrt "C compiled with C++" however I wholeheartedly agree with your penultimate paragraph.

Sony and Nintendo do not use these engines, MS might be making the new Gears with UE though, rest of their first party don't. Amazon and Google have one successful game between themselves (and that's a mobile game). All these engines bring to the industry are indies and mobile games. UE actually lost quite a lot of AAA they had in UE3 times. Epic's and Crytec's own games don't do quite well (Crytec is not even making payroll). So yeah, looks like C++ games do not have much to worry about.
Do you use ZFS? If yes then you should use ECC memory.

Do you have a use case where you would want your computer to alert you when the ram is failing? If yes then you should use ECC memory.

Otherwise it's a nicitey and probably not worth the money.

That's apparently a process that takes time, but in the long run it could easily pay off. Over the years I've dealt with "Verio" selling my ip address to spammers. Before that they had entire ranges of IP blocked that I got caught up in.

A couple years ago I did the work to use "Mandrill" in an app and they got merged with "MailChimp" who changed how my app could use their service and I had to redo those routines again.

Right now I'm using Mailgun and they're awesome.
I'm not so sure. Step 1 is making sure people want a toilet. If you give someone a toilet without their understanding its purpose, it is going to be neglected and considered pointless.

If people want toilets, they can spend some free time to dig a big pit in a nearby yard, and it will be more sanitary than their current situation. Ultimately the two go hand in hand (toilets and education) but education without toilets is a problem that solves itself, while toilets without education is doomed to fail.

Yes.

Bit errors are uncommon and range from benign to crash.

Your storage has them, memory has them, network has them.

Non error correcting memory very significantly increases risk.

And this is the kind of risk you don't notice, until you do and when you do, it's often subtle, insidious, impossible to track down.

Servers absolutely. It's debatable on desktop, but we have huge RAM now. Might as well error correct. The bit error risk is small. Bigger RAM only adds to that possibility.

The article makes no mention of single event upsets (SEUs). These occur randomly when cosmic rays can cause a bit flip anywhere in the chip. ECC is a good way to mitigate SEU effects.
I'll build this. It sounds like a useful and fun project to build. Will build it using Crystal to be able to ship a single binary with no dependencies. SQLite will probably be enough for this project so it'll ship with it's own DB.
People understand just fine what "illness" is. Every culture has a long tradition of medical practice since long before anyone knew what a germ was, and people in many civilizations (this isn't some eurocentric western-world thing) have known for hundreds or thousands of years to keep feces away from their food and water.

It seems obvious because it is obvious and has been, in India and practically everywhere else, for centuries.

What the parent described is probably due to other external factors (e.g. lack of choice, land restrictions or other things) that constrain behavior.

Edit for further clarity: it's unlikely these people are all "too stupid" to realize what they're doing is not healthy, but that there are other factors making it a (perceived) better choice than others (which may be perceived as worse).
I've using Standard Notes for almost three months already.
It's neat, but "standard editor" is kind of weak (like not supporting tab to indent), I have to try using the extended editor.
Everything syncs nicely BUT on two occassions a tag got duplicated with some of the notes. I have no idea how - but at that time I had it open on two desktops.
Not sure how nicely the encryption is done.

Business Model 1:

Build your own services and throttle everyone else's services unless they pay a premium (in which case your own services would be cheaper, but the profit they get from their own services must be higher than the profit they get from NOT selling the bandwidth their premium service uses, to third parties).

Let's put it this way, if a hotel builds a Jacuzzi, you're argument is that the hotel owner will only let their own family and friends use the Jacuzzi whereas they will charge anyone else more money to use it. But the time their buddies are using the Jacuzzi could be sold for a fee to the third party, so in order for them to rationally do this, they must gain enough favors that it justifies them to NOT make the extra profit.

In case of the ISP scenario, the Verizon Music better offer them higher profitability than letting it be used by actual Spotify and charging them. If they charge Spotify's $5 per month per user, then Verizon Music better bring them same or higher revenue or else running Verizon Music isn't worth it.

Business Model 2:

Invest in infrastructure and try to take over bigger market.

You're claiming "There is no way they will go for business model 2, they will go for business model 1". But you have no presented any reason why they would do that? We have reasons to believe that even when companies are very good at doing something internally, the parent company sells them off because it's a more profitable model.
The bullet points under the section "A New Approach" of that fact sheet seem like pure political rhetoric. Where is the evidence to support the legitimacy of any of those claims???
Sure but if you have had 40 hours training you know to slow down when you see a bend and not to continue at the target speed. Hell if you've had zero hours training but have been in a car before you know that.
While I was at Google, someone asked one of the very early Googlers (I think it was Craig Silverstein, but it may've been Jeff Dean) what was the biggest mistake in their Google career, and they said "Not using ECC memory on early servers." If you look through the source code & postmortems from that era of Google, there are all sorts of nasty hacks and system design constraints that arose from the fact that you couldn't trust the bits that your RAM gave back to you.

It saved a few bucks in a time period where Google's hardware costs were rising rapidly, but the ripple-on effects on system design cost much more than that in lost engineer time. Data integrity is one engineering constraint that should be pushed as low down in the stack as is reasonably possible, because as you get higher up the stack, the potential causes of corrupted data multiple exponentially.

I don't think that's accurate. It's not a short-term tactic - it's a strategy. And it doesn't give you time before they start interrogating you - it helps ensure that you don't have to be interrogated at all.

Humans do not have general purpose minds, and neither will AIs.

Our minds are "general purpose" compared to, say, a chess playing computer program. But they're not necessarily "general purpose" in the most, well, general, sense. They're evolved with specific capabilities and talents that are geared towards helping humanoid, bipedal, mammalian creatures survive and replicate on a specific small blue planet, orbiting a particular yellow star.

As he pointed out in the article, there are examples of animals, like squirrels, demonstrating "intelligence" of a form that humans don't even remotely come close to having.

So, whether or not we have "general purpose mind" depends on how generally you define "general purpose." Which I think is actually an interesting point, in the context of what the author was driving at.
Depends on what you are doing.

ECC memory is like Insurance. You hope you never need it. One real downside that I have found, is finding out _when_ that memory correction has saved your ass. RAID arrays can alert you when a disk is dead. SMART mostly tells you when disks are failing. I haven't found a reliable tool to notify me when I am getting ECC errors/corrections.

Exactly, while Sahara is obviously sunny and the land is cheap, it might not be the best place to place solar plants, due to the logistics.

The only thing that would make desert-sized solar plants a really good business would be really cheap low efficiency cells.
>If the police are at your door, they might just know you might have been a witness to something, and are there to look for leads (i.e. "we know you were at [place] at [time]" or "[crime] happened in your building", followed by "did you see or hear anyone or anything suspicious?")

And if you accidentally screw up the answer (very possible, people's memories are terrible even without stress and in a rush to answer) you may now be a criminal, or (possibly just as bad) might make them think you're a criminal. The latter isn't even just about you, it's about overall justice and society too: if they're spending time and resources investigating someone innocent, by definition that's time and resources not spent on whomever actually did it.

Like all general guidelines, there are always limited exceptions to the rule, every adult should be able to use their brains a bit and know when considered deviation is justified. Yes, there may be times where instantaneous response really matters, you can perfectly well imagine scenarios where a criminal literally just ran by and an officer runs up asking if you saw them, no of course you don't need to insist on a lawyer. But in most cases seconds/minutes are not of the essence, and the benefit/risk ratio of just invoking your rights and going through the process carefully is so hilariously (or terrifyingly as the case may be) weighted towards counsel that it really should be considered the standard course of action. We are almost always operating at a vast situational knowledge disadvantage in any of these interactions, and it's prudent to take that into account. This isn't about not cooperating or not appreciating the police or importance of justice, it's about proceeding with due deliberation.
