The main 'value' of ETH is in buying 'gas' for your smart contracts. Basically, you need ETH to use the Ethereum network.

So it makes more sense to view it as a commodity.
A variation of this already exists, called the Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe (CTMU) [0]. It is dismissed by critics as not being based on empirical methods or pure reason, which is what it's getting at: science isn't the answer to everything. Some questions can't be answered by reason alone, mind-body dualism for example.

I showed my 9-year-old nephew Scratch, and within an hour he had designed a dancing man that made noise and moved around. It makes creating interactive games and stories easy and fun.

Why isn't there a Scratch for adults? A serious tool targeted to artists and professionals that makes it easy to publish interactive stories and presentations using standard web tech.
That's interesting, but how many daily use vehicles are rides that could be replaced by bus trips? It sounds like a more general category.

But FDA rules loom large in every decision in medicine. Avenues of research that are going to produce results that will be difficult to bring to market are likely to be abandoned even before the government is involved by law.

Would the end result of a LibreSSL refactor introduce more bugs than leaving the current process in place (with improvements)? It seems like we can't know the answer to that question until it happens so speaking definitively about either option becomes questionable.
I had the opportunity to see Nicholas's parents speak a few years ago, and their talk convinced me to opt in as an organ donor. When I first got my driver's license, I had opted out of more or less out of spite— the CA DMV's form seemed intentionally misleading, which bothered me. I suppose it still bothers me, but it changed my mind to hear firsthand about the impact that my body could have when I'm done with it.

1. I'm trying to be serious, but I often lose touch. My wife is more in control of the matter.

2. I'm not sure teaching is the best way to describe it... more like doing it together, and sharing knowledge. I don't consider myself to be a good teacher (after seen how others do it). Occasionally I pull real good "teachin'" - seriously, but then often I fell into too many details, and he gets bored.

3. Maybe, but possibly when he goes to middleschool.

I grew up in Bulgaria, and since 7th grade I was in specialized Mathematics and Informatics (the "eu" word for "computer science") high-school. I went there because I was good in my elementary, middle school... only to realize I was just average, or even below compared to the other kids. But then I discovered that programming is what I really wanted, unlike many of the other kids (that was back in the 90s), and there was much less competition in this area. Nowadays its quite different... Back then, even saying that you were playing video games, and kids would consider you dork/geek/etc.

But back to math-specialized high-school - Since I've started doing poorly, my parents got me 1-1 (sometimes 1-2) math teacher, just to keep on level. It was the norm to have 30-40 math exams for homework, and it took everyone of us hours to finish (Though one difference with schools here, is that there is rotation when you go to school - one month you go in the morning, the other month in the afternoon - so there was plenty of time to finish homework).

So, it's definitely beneficial to have an instructor. It helped me. We are considering, but also from another standpoint - peer pressure. When all our friends are talking about how their kids go with private tutors/instructors - then you have to get on that bandwagon... I mean I hate that, but I know we have to do it.

Last rant, I wish a classroom where the teacher would have only few kids - 5-6, not 20. I feel this would greatly reduce the need for instructors.

And I'm willing to pay more taxes, whether I had or had not kids.
That smells like over-fitting:

>For every $1,000 a representative received from corporations supporting net neutrality, like Google or Netflix, they were 24 percent more likely to vote for it. For every $1,000 from companies opposing it, they were 2.6 percent more likely to vote against.

The problem with smart contracts is that they are only 100% trustless as long as all the input data is already present on the blockchain.

Even something banally simple as "if such and such win the world cup deposit earnings there" cannot be 100% trustless. How does one overcome this problem?

I don't think smart contracts can overcome this problem while remaining 100% trustless.

It would make absolutely no sense for them to buy Netflix only to cut out the vast majority of Netflix users by making it only available on Apple's own platforms.

"At that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.

It's not always that clear cut.

While there are definitely bad, ill-will generating ways to generate revenue for Open Source projects... but at the same time there can be positive ways of doing it too.

It very much depends on the norms and expectation of the Community around any given project though. :)
That is really cool, I really like how you're incorporating their creations into a broader context. It aligns really well with Tom Little's concepts of making school more of a holistic education that is intertwined with social justice, personal responsibility, and so on.

If you think brand is the reason Apple succeeds, you simply are way over-discounting or don't understand unique platform features/benefits.

Brands become powerful only when they are true. All the marketing in the world can't successfully position your products as valuable and unique, if they aren't. You can't fool people for long. The gods of the advertising industry want you to believe they can sell ice to eskimos, but they are merely selling their book.
Good point. I guess I should have gotten a little more sleep last night...

So I guess these ARE customer retention rates? Following his link brings me here: https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s?__biz=MjM5ODEyOTAyMA==&mid=266190... (god, what a ridiculously lengthy URL). Looks like Apple only captured 33 and 25% of the market each year, respectively- not 66 and 50%, as I thought before. In which case I think the author should at least mention the fact that Apple's picking up a lot of their competitor's customers YoY as well- that's hardly a bad thing. Maybe the Chinese market simply has less brand loyalty.
I never understood why Python differentiates between key access and attribute access. Dig down one layer, and they're the same thing anyway: a.b is just a.__dict__['b'].

For all its faults, JavaScript has some pretty sensible defaults. Accessing a missing key returns what is basically its equivalent of nil. Extra parameters to function calls are simply ignored. Unsupplied parameters default to nil.
Why all the fuss about serverless?

>The greatest UI in the history of films cannot be captured visually: it is the UI in Spike Jonze's "Her".

No, that was the absolute worst UI in the history of films. Spoken words simply cannot carry remotely as much information as visually-seen images. Haven't you ever heard the saying "a picture is worth 1000 words"?

Let me give a modern-day example: at a typical Panera Bread restaurant right now, you can order a sandwich either by talking to some teenager at the counter, or by using the touchscreen kiosk. Panera lets you customize sandwiches heavily, by changing the bread, adding cheeses, changing/adding toppings, etc. So I walk into a Panera and would like to order a tuna sandwich but I want to see all the different options and make it completely customized. They have probably 20 different kinds of bread alone, not to mention all the other options. So which do you think is more efficient, having some teenager rattle off 20 kinds of bread, or looking at them on a screen? And how do I know what these breads are anyway? How long is it going to take for some teenager to tell me what all those things are, and maybe show me samples, compared to just looking at some photos on the screen? How about just verifying the order? With the teenager, how long will it take him to read off the entire order to me, and what is the possibility that the information will be received incorrectly because I can't hear him that well, he speaks with an accent or lisp, there's too much noise, or he just misspeaks or skips something? With a screen, I can see the order printed out exactly.

Right. The real argument is I don't like the additional ambiguity. For me, it doesn't seem like a particularly ergonomic syntax choice.
Maybe some intelligence that people are inserting sheets of metal foil into stacks of paper to attenuate the x-rays and hide something underneath?

Assuming the airport X-ray machines aren't that powerful, I would guess that 15+ sheets of foil inserted into a book or similar might mask something underneath it fairly well?
I actually think Scratch is great for adults to learn how to program.

I think there isn't a Scratch for artists/professionals to create because the educational aspect is hard to nail, and pairing that with a publishing tool is even harder. It's not impossible, but it sounds really hard to get right.

Apparently, I got the high/low backwards, but keep in mind the GI of a serving of Soylent is 60 for the powder, 49 for the drink. You can't just take the index of one ingredient alone and peg the whole product to that when the other ingredients influence absorption. Soylent's glycemic load over time is pretty modest.

That's what makes you a representative of a tiny minority.

I've spent part of a career writing software for people whose daily workflows required Photoshop, Illustrator, QuarkXPress, and a dozen other supporting applications, and they always ran much better on MacOS and were far easier to use and train people to use.

But even those people are still a tiny minority, where most of the world revolves around MSFT Office and hundreds of applications on Windows.

I still have my grandparents' Franklin Ace 1200. It's actually quite a beast for an apple II+ clone, fully loaded with 64k of RAM and two disk drives. It also comes with the fastest CP/M card available. Unfortunately, it uses the capacitive Keytronics keyboard, which was a rather tedious repair when the foam degraded after 40 years. Its serial card is too old to be compatible with the Super Serial Card, and has a bit of a funky ROM, so I had to write some custom scripts to bootstrap ADT, and hack ADT itself to support the card: https://github.com/tdaede/franklin-tools

This is the biggest pain point I experienced with the powder version of Soylent — it's inconvenient that the taste goes off and it starts going bad after just 2–3 days whereas the bottles are good for months or more.
This article prompted me read more about the IBM i OS [1], and it sounds actually quite cool. From the self-healing and objects instead of files, to the packaging of an IR to be re-compiled on the fly to new platforms, I'm curious to know why it and its concepts aren't more mainstream? Is it actually the bees knees but just costs a lot?

Well, I was more specifically replying to the comment "It is the cellulose in the paper. Blocks of it are homogenous enough that they look similar in density to something dangerous."

Every time I've seen it on the scanners here, or the glimpses I've seen at airports last I was in the US, usually it's very clear what you're looking at - books and other paper products are plain to see.

If they obfuscate, sure, possibly. But just from personal experience it doesn't seem like it would be indistinguishable.

I'm not saying that these tools are infallible by any means, just that the particular claim didn't mesh with my experience.
You're missing nothing.

Saying "waiting for a lower tax rate" is just a nice way of saying "never". There is no good reason a corporation would bring offshore cash back unless they absolutely have to. The whole point of putting it there in the first place is to isolate it.

Unless something changes dramatically that makes the current practice really unfavourable to them, there should be no expectation that corporations are actively looking to use this money and are simply waiting for the "best time".
It's really a shame, because today's web and app UIs are simply atrocious and horrifically ugly, and not really all that useful either.

I don't see a reason to even delay Java 9 more. It's really really really silly. Yes no solution is perfect, but most of the time when somebody want to make something perfect and actually implement everything for everybody, they fail or it ends up in super complicated stuff.
Java 10 and Java 11 looks promising, maybe more promising than 9 but 9 also has promising things and the module system might emerge into something super useful, if not - is that the end of the world? prolly not.

java has a extreme amount of bloat when it comes to releases, even more than the language itself. a lot of it are policits and still I hope that they change their "3-5 years till next release"-model soon! I mean there aren't many languages that are developed in the open and have such a aweful time frame.
the best model is prolly used by rust. smaller iterations and some other channels a la chrome.
it's really sad that the language gets so much hindered by akward polictics
You should definately look at RxDB when you need a persistent reactive store.
Well, even if you completely trust Intel to never be nefarious, never act against your best interest, never do anything shady whatsoever with that power, you can't trust them to keep that power only for their own use. This vulnerability is proof of that.

So you don't have to claim that Intel could have bad faith. You can claim, with proof, that Intel has less than perfect success at security, and that less than perfect security is reason enough why this "secret computer inside" is a horrible idea.

The problem isn't the size of the data, it's the limits of the mechanical technology used.

For all the suggestions of headphones. They're nearly ineffective. and Ive had BOSE QC25s before and i'm pretty sure NC technology is useless for non patterned sounds (language is unpredictable as far as NC is concerned). NC is good for things like motors, fans, rivers etc that have more or less the same sound continuously.
Ditto. I just hope the transition to web extension will be smooth or at least happening at all.

I don't see these points as following from determinism.

>everything could be predicted

Not at all. Think about what you need to predict someone's behavior. You need to emulate the entire universe (at least within the cone of causal influence) and then run it long enough for the thing you're trying to predict to occur. Essentially you're creating a duplicate universe and just seeing what happens. You're not predicting, you're observing. In this tangent universe, the person is thinking and deciding just the same. So ultimately the decision is still the necessary precursor to the event.

>our thoughts are not real

Our thoughts are real, they're just highly complex interactions of physical atoms. Our thoughts aren't non-physical, or acausal, or anything supernatural. But I don't see these properties being necessary for our thoughts to be real and hold value to us. As I said before, our thoughts necessarily precede our decisions which necessarily precede our actions. What else do you want from your thoughts?
