Apple's problem is more subtle. The MacPro was a good choice for a tiny market niche - pro video editors and pro musicians.

This is a market in which a $5k 10 core PC is considered an entry level machine. 3D houses and some music studios have racks of server-grade hardware that is far outside the reach of most mortals.

There is a bigger market of users who like to label themselves pro, but are actually prosumer. It includes smaller music studios (home or not), design studios, serious hobbyists and dabblers, smaller video houses, academic music composers, and so on.

Also many software developers.

These users are not in the Hollywood league, and they typically have a limited budget.

The old cheesegrater MacPro was a good fit for this market. It was also good enough, and expandable enough, to get some interest from the no-compromise pros.

The new MacPro is too expensive for the prosumers, and poor value - and underpowered - for the no-compromise pros.

I'm not yet convinced Apple understands this. Jobs understood it because his links with Pixar meant he could see first hand what Hollywood pros were using.

I don't think the current management is as open to creative input from creative professionals at all levels.

If I'm right, the 2018 Mac Pros will be open like PCs, but they still won't truly satisfy either type of user.
That's what external keyboards are for.

I find the built-in style is fine for casual work, even typing documents, but for programming I love my delete key too much.

On the mini keyboard I find myself using ⌘X in place of Fn-Delete, it's a one-handed thing that's more convenient. If you have nothing in your paste buffer that's important it works out well.
I am starting to grow a disdain towards Windows, with it's insistence on changing the default browser to IE + Bing on every update.

This did not happen when I installed Creators Update a few weeks ago. Firefox was still my default browser after updating.

This is such a nice tool (as is Asciidoc/asciidoctor itself), I wish more people would use it and contribute to it's code to iron out the remaining bugs. Before I found out about it I used Markdown, but it's syntactic inconsistencies and lack of standards were always making me cringe. I just wish there were other easy to use GUIs besides AsciidocFX.
Well, what I asked for was an article showing how to do it in many languages and platforms. What I got was an offer to hire a high priced consultant. This is one of the reasons JWT and Auth0 are winning. I would love to do things the right™ way, and I appreciated your article. But there is a lot more the crypto community (or someone) needs to offer to make the alternatives to JWT just as attractive as JWT.

If there's a baseline I don't see why it should be rocket science - person X's velocity when working from home is Y and when working from the office is Z. Compare Z and Y and there you have it. Sure, it's not apples-to-apples week-to-week/sprint-to-sprint but the averages are pretty consistent.

If you don't have the baseline there are other ways of getting this figured out, not as accurate but good enough typically - instead of comparing someone's office vs. home velocity you go by the average velocity you're after and see if they can hang with that while working from home (and again, I don't see why this would be difficult to figure out).

Doesn't that link suggest that it's primarily the mass, not the material? Steel is just an iron alloy after all, I don't think its thermal properties are much different (but 15lbs of steel will transfer more heat to your pizza than 10lbs of cast iron). Also cast iron can certainly crack, if it's dropped on a hard surface, or thermally shocked (but it is tougher than most ceramics).
I wonder what the next step is once people are used to this kind of abuse.

Of course life expectancy is going to vary by county, because the variables that contribute to life expectancy; income, lifestyles, dietary habits, quality of health care, and access to health care are vastly different.

I assume you'd need a broad cultural shift in attitudes about food consumption, obesity, physical activity, and vast health care networks that ignore income to change it.
When I submitted a pull request to a random open source project, I was surprised to see a travis build kick off immediately.

Is there a chance for rogue pull requests to contain (build) code that dumps out travis environment secrets? I didn't explore this but obviously the code is being built by scripts that are part of the commit.
It is our working hypothesis that:

AI has matured to the point where it should be an accessible technology for everyone.

That's an interesting premise. Luckily, a lot of modern AI already is accessible to everyone. Much cutting edge AI/ML software is F/OSS[1], and the AI community (indeed, the CS community in general) regularly submits pre-prints to arXiv.org[2], and major journals like JMLR[3] and JAIR[4] are Open Access.

That said, I'm sure there's room for more work in this area.

"Ignore the plight of a few websites now, to protect millions of websites in five years," is sorta-kinda the point everyone is making. You have to let Luke Skywalker get old enough to actually have a chance of defeating Darth Vader before giving him a lightsaber and letting him hare off across the galaxy; otherwise you just get a dead Luke and the Empire wins.

But that's not even the true compromise in this case, because you could have used any other, less network-fragile tool to accomplish the same goal. You could have called up Obi Wan (Freenet) or Yoda (Tor), but instead you handed the job to the ten-year-old kid.
Meh, if innovators didn't, somebody else would.

SPEND in this case means essentially what their budget is for the group, while INVEST would be a smaller portion (essentially, the budgeted spend minus overhead).

Merely asking and answering the question "Who should we invest in?" takes a considerable amount of money by itself.

Once again: We screwed up by not making this a campaign issue.

Many of the news stations here are affiliated with internet providers. The candidates both took money from the industry. No one was going to make this an issue, and we screwed up by not forcing it to be part of the conversation.

Of course we also let the election happen without a major conversation about fracking.

I think this could "devolve" naturally to states. California is already making noises about its own enforcement efforts.

Maybe even more so with health care/insurance, since people who are dying can see themselves die every day, while it's a bit easier to ignore "the environment."

I'd like to see states, probably led by California, possibly with New York and Washington, start their own single-payer system, open to any state that wants to join, contribute and comply.

I absolutely do need to know that Keybase is going to take privacy and censorship resistance seriously, and posts like this are not helpful in that "strategy". I depend on them for key distribution and so do a lot of other important, likely-to-be-targeted people, many of whom probably live in Turkey. When the Turkish dictatorship starts demanding information on political opponents from Keybase, what is Keybase going to do? Send the info to avoid being blocked? Wait until they're "strong enough" before fighting the important fights?

We're in a dark political period right now, this stuff is deadly serious. There's 110,000 people that have been detained in Turkey, they're not waiting for a future resistance, they need one right now. Stop spreading FUD about censorship resistance.

They are different databases. Riak is a key value store, not unlike the core of redis. The SQL database is obviously relational.

Ignoring the difference for a minute. If you can fit data in Redis, chances are that they can fit in riak and a RDBMS is not needed at all.

Why Riak only then?

It is one of the very few databases that can be clustered. It is sharded, multi-master, highly available, to talk in buzzwords. It is very reliable and very robust, you can add/remove nodes as you wish, replication is highly configurable, etc...

Postgre/Mysql/MariaDB + Redis have no HA. They are both the disaster in disaster recovery.
Vuforia is great on the technical side. Their cloud API is responsive and their tracking is strong, but their documentation is terrible. Look up Vuforia Swift to see a starter code on how to use it on iOS. They have well structured examples, but it took me a few weeks to understand how everything works. What type of AR are you trying to build, cause there are Marker based AR and SLAM based AR.

I believe, at some point, Wikipedia was talking about partnering with Archive.org to turn all their citation links into Wayback Machine snapshots—including the ones for journal PDFs.

Presuming such a thing ever gets done, an archival copy of Wikipedia + the Wayback Machine pages Wikipedia references would then make a pretty good "sum total of all human knowledge."

>The other day, one of my cow-orkers asked me, how can I bear working late hours - it must be very lonely. I desperately tried not to answer that with "that's precisely the point".

Is your cow-orker also a software engineer (or "engineer" if you prefer, esp. in their case)?

I'm starting to think that a large majority of software developers actually like open-plan work environments with lots of interruptions, however they also don't browse forums like this very much. They do well (or well enough to keep their jobs) in these environments, enjoy them, but they don't hang out on places like this online either at work or after-hours, and go home to play with their kids or watch sports or hang out at bars.

The drivers in Uber handle more than just the driving - they essentially handle all the other logistics of offering a taxi service. They keep the car clean, they handle any regular maintenance and servicing, they store the car when it's not in use, they manage registration and insurance, they manage any insurance claims, they fix any damage, they mop up the vomit, etc.

Once Uber goes self driving, they take on responsibility for all of these logistical activities, and they currently have no capability and capacity to do that. These activities only scale so far.
Never underestimate the ignorance (or stupidity) of a developer under a deadline.
Please explain. Are individuals going to, at their discretion, point guns at people to enforce individual environmental preferences? I don't see anything that implies that in the 2nd Amendment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Amendment_to_the_United...

> Again, easy for us to say in the west, especially the US. We've seen a lot of the good, but we too have seen the bad.

I, for one, am not in the US, pal; I'm in a third world country riddled with conflict and crime. Stop the sad regionalism.

Your morality babble still doesn't change the fact that automation and technology have made us the most successful species. Even your ludicrous "for every good some bad has come" is false on its face. If it were true, the population would forever stay the same.

> Technology is not universally beneficial.

Again, nobody claimed it was, what was claimed was the net effect, and that has been positive.

I don't even know why I'm wasting my time having a discussion with someone who thinks technology isn't "good" (and you do think that, you think it's "neutral", not "good")... over the internet.

In other words: If it weren't for technology, you couldn't be whining about how awful it is from your iPhone, buddy.
Yes; IPFS is essentially Freenet with the obscuring-content-origin bits turned off. If you want anonymous IPFS, use Freenet.
>We might see a hybrid system with auto-pilot doing the majority of the driving similar to how we currently fly planes,

That seems a very plausible scenario. Improves safety (which is a big plus!) but doesn't really do much for the financials overall.
The same is true, but more so, with "anti-psychotics".

Honestly, if you don't want to use JS on the server side then you should not. There are plenty of very good alternatives.

I think Elm is to address the issue that JS is the only thing that runs in a browser. With that said, I suppose you could use it with Node as well.
In Euclid's day, "compilation" meant taking disparate and sometimes halfheartedly proved theorems with wildly different terminology and framing and laying them out in one consistent chain of deductions. So I have trouble writing him off as a trumped up textbook author.

It's like saying the formalization of continuity by Weierstrass and Bolzano was compilation because prior mathematicians had already been working with the concepts.
That $100M clearly is dominated by the capital that is to be invested. The use of the verb "spend" is perhaps a slip indicating an opinion on the chance of positive ROI...

"The company is spending about $100 million annually on the funding of startups, he said."

"All told, Dell Technologies Capital has invested in more than 70 startups. It puts in around $3 million to $10 million initially and usually in the A or B rounds, Darling said. The company provides more money in later rounds."

If your investment team that answers the question "Who should we invest in?" is consuming $100M itself... I need to change jobs.
In the presence of the medical industry's status quo of "we have no studies demonstrating any harm from this drug", and the presence of next to no safety studies at all, all you can really say is you lucked out in the genetic lottery.

The fact is, these drugs do harm people. There's a reason homicide and suicide are listed as a side effect in the drug insert of all SSRI's. Your testimony is correlation. But that in and of itself does not establish causation of a positive outcome for everyone.
Are fines and coercion realy the only way positive change can happen to deal with climate change?

Are there no significant projects that could be accomplished through private funding? No public outreach campaigns? etc

There were hundreds of millions of dollars going to Clinton's campaign and other anti-Trump PAC. That kind of money put on issues could go a long way.

Not to mention the fact that EPA's budget was $8,139,887,000 in 2016 with 15k employees. They are still a significant force in the country. https://www.epa.gov/planandbudget/budget

If we're just talking about marketing alone I'm pretty sure there is still a significant amount of work that needs to be done just to convince the public (and not just your everyday simpletons) that this is something serious that requires a top heavy government approach. Cleary many influential people still believe otherwise and they have influence in American politics.

If you look at other controversial issues in America that have made progress over the years, across both parties, such as gay marriage [1] and marijuana [2] it's clear that opinions can change.
