A cultural change is also necessary. Our civilization is divided and weak, because we still have a tribal mentality that prevent us from looking at the bigger picture. We still think in terms of "us" and "them" and who will get the upper hand, who will get this territory, this resource, who will "win", who will look "stronger", etc...

The economy also have to change. We must rethink our definition of wealth. What is wealth? Vitality, time, resources and intelligence. Money only helps creating a movement, but the accumulation of vast sums of money is problematic as we're seeing now. Money needs to circulate.

Women will also play an important part, here. Humanity can't progress if 50% of its population can't develop to its full potential.

We need more women in position of leadership, in science, but also in position of religious leaders, because yes, a huge percentage of the world is religious and women can contribute in lots of ways there.

We need more cooperation, more responsibility. Instead of thinking in terms of nations, we'll eventually have to think in terms of civilization if we want a future that is desirable.
But not for cheap (i.e. no 5 USD SoCs), and sold under the Intel brand. Intel and Samsung want to use Qualcomm IP for cheap. That's the point.
That's true. Forgot they exited the market. mediatek has no problems selling arm phones. Qualcomm has only 50% of market share in that space and there are plenty of other competitors. Unlike the x86 server market.

Samsung, Intel and Apple have enough cash and tech clout to crush Qualcomm into dust if they really wanted to compete on r&d.

Throwing a few million at a lawsuit is just a negotiation tactic.
I came across this recently. I had always wondered why I managed to find math so fascinating when most of my peers hated it. I think I was just lucky enough to see through the poor state of education into some of the magic underneath. For a (partial) solution to the math education problem, Paul Lockhart has also written a book called "Measurement"[1] which is a very entertaining read.

Well, that's your opinion. I'm not sure by what metrics you think languages should be ranked. There's certainly no evidence that any other language results in better software, or that linguistic features have a significant bottom-line impact at all. Whatever few studies we do have indicate that the coice of language makes little difference, certainly ehen it comes to large software. Of course, language designers and PL enthusiasts make all sorts of claims, but they're largely unsubstantiated at this point.
They can spend some money on r&d and build a patent portfolio to force Qualcomm to cross license.

> I said multiple times Lisp "can" work that way, stop being so defensive. But the point in fact is most Lisp developers don't work that they, they don't live in the REPL full time like Smalltalk devs do, you load from source quite often in comparison to the 0 times Smalltalk'ers do.

That Lisp developers load source does not mean that the image gets restarted. Lisp usually is designed such that you can incrementally update/manipulate the running image. As I said that's the dominant development style for Lisp, AFAIK.

If companies are held to a minimum wage, then they'll pay it. Sure, maybe it becomes more cost effective to invest in technology that requires them to pay less people... but I would argue they are doing that already (especially in the context of Uber), regardless of whether it's gig or minimum wage.

Rich people don't buy more stuff in proportion to what they make. So the more money that moves from the lower and middle class, the less business opportunity you have. I'm not going to use 10 times more uber eats than someone who makes 10 times less than me.

It's not a hard problem to solve in theory. Just figure out how to move money the opposite direction and business will boom! It doesn't even have to be a socialist structure. Maybe we just tax companies for their external negative effects?

Beautiful work and I think he should probably make a vst or something out of. Producers are always looking for new ways to break sounds apart and put them back together.

I understand that Elon Musk actually wants to reboot space race to ramp up innovation (sorry I can't remember the source, but I believe it was an early interview where he was talking about NASA not being as forward-looking as it used to be.) But it's hard not to be cynical when there is still a lot of suffering in this world. Can't we make everyone in this world at least have dinner everyday?

There are not that many useful tasks that can be solved in principle with massive use of rockets based on chemical reaction. But none of these tasks are "mission critical" for survival of the civilization.

Having 10 companies launching rockets instead of current 5 will not make any differences in principle.

It is just a matter of time for next gamma burst or so to wipe out life on the planet. So we need colonies on large enough distances. And Mars does not count as it is too close.

To achieve that goal (civilization survival) we a) must keep our common home habitable and b) focus efforts on finding ways of inter-stellar travelling.
I'd be surprised if Umbrella were all that close to the highest. Other Rihanna songs like S&M, Work and We Found Love In A Hopeless Place seem far more repetitive (at least to my intuition of what qualifies as repetitive).
Everyone keeps patting Microsoft on the back for taking the 'step' into opensource, but all I see is the same product rehashed half a dozen times and massive dependence upon MS's ecosystem for development. There's a reason they can pay hundreds of developers to make these products, because they're still making plenty of money, infact, they're probably making more than ever.
Wow this presentation is great. Anyone know what visualization libraries are used here?

There are a lots of spelling and hyphenation libraries e.g. for Finnish language, but it is not possible to get them to working in Chrome cause there is no extension capability for it. It's really shame, since these odd languages probably never get support by Chrome team itself.
>Time is almost up for the Sea Shadow and the Hughes Mining Barge. Sadly if a miracle does not come to pass immedietly these relics of American ingenuity will be turned into rebar and Pepsi cans very soon…

Setting aside the fact it's a complete tragedy that no one has picked these two vessels up as museum pieces, I wonder how radioactive those Pepsi cans would be—considering the entire point of the operation was to raise a nuclear submarine, carrying nuclear weapons—one that supposedly broke in half according to the official story.

I'm sure contaminated areas (if any) were decontaminated, but perhaps there's still trace amounts resident in the ship that might tell an interesting story.
When the program exits memory will be reclaimed by the kernel.
Memory leaks aren't horrible if they don't appear in loops or recursive functions (that is to say the leaked allocations do not grow with the uptime of the program). In this case it's pretty much identical to allocating memory that has the lifetime of the program.
Pretty obvious stuff but it's important to keep in mind.
Makers of Crowdfunded “Gravity Blanket” Withdraw Unsupported Medical Claims
Did you read the article? The argument is not "some jobs are disappearing but other jobs are being created," the argument is "stop arguing from anecdote, productivity growth is practically non-existent, the fact that you saw a restaurant with no waiters does not dent the fact that we have below-full-employment levels of unemployment."
"Impossible" is a bit rhetorical, although in principle the content has to be decrypted to be seen and a Sufficiently Sophisticated Attacker can always somehow extract the decrypted data from the device, in more practical terms this can be made pretty much arbitrarily difficult.

What I really meant is that making DRM difficult to crack generally goes against owner control over the machine. The more control you have the easier it is to simply copy the decrypted data or at least attempt exploiting some bugs in the DRM engine if the former is impossible. So we see things like signed bootloaders or dedicated "secure" cores running alongside normal CPUs with some secret firmware on them.

In particular, it seems that Android's DRM can be subverted by the bootloader (presumably it uses the ARM TrustZone extension, which is configured by the bootloader and then locked away from the OS) and hence the OP has to choose between DRM and unlocked bootloader.
There is a very simple test of whether a society is a Socialist one; namely, a society is Socialist if its predominant mode of production is the Socialist one. The Socialist mode of production is distinguished from all others by the following:

* Communal (worker) ownership of the means of production (land and machinery used to make goods for society)

* Government composed entirely of the workers, making decisions in the interest of the workers

* Goods are produced to be used rather than exchanged on a market

* Wage labour is not dominant in the economy

* The functions of private property have been abolished and thus there is no more private property.

Venezuela fails all of these criteria. It's not "no true Scotsman", it's the truth.

Someone called Angus, who calls himself a Scotsman, but who doesn't have Scottish citizenship, nationality, lineage nor has he ever lived in Scotland is not a Scotsman.
Is this related to just CDMA patents?
Repeating the word "work" does has a more poetic utility as a depiction of working. Even allowing the pronunciation to devolve can be interpreted in this way.

I think you are right that it is self aware. It can get quite meta if you read it as her depicting the mundane nature of work as her... work.

Thanks for making me think about that!
Makes sense. India has just 32 vehicles for every 1,000 people (compared to the 800 vehicles per 1,000 people in the United States and 140 vehicles per 1,000 people in China)[1].

If you're going to mobilize 1 billion people, you may as well "leapfrog" the internal combustion engine and move straight to electric vehicles.

Intel and Samsung specifically did that by creating WiMax as a competing standard for LTE, but look what happened.

Is Qualcomm pushing their IP as an integral part of the LTE standard? Is Intel pushing the x86 as part of any official standard?
Bill Gates was answering in the context his own philanthropic efforts. He, and billionaires like him, certainly would suffer from major opportunity-cost losses by investing in space travel suboptimally.
I understand your sentiment, but what exactly is the military to do when the enemy specifically uses hospitals to house command bunkers?
True, but I'd imagine the primary use case for NodeJS wrapping a Rust binary is a long-lived server process, where I'd expect this to actually matter. (Even on Lambda it might matter, given container reuse.)
It's nice to see a demonstration of how to do this by hand! But at work, we use Neon https://github.com/neon-bindings/neon to write production Node.js modules in Rust.
That sounds awfully like worsening the situation further... like some sort of an arms race.

Automation is doing no manual labor. Technical improvement's mentioned in the article is not automation. It's the same as a accountant who uses software. He can do more in less time
Because it's not a standard?
If x86 was an integral part of the LTE standard (or something similar) they we should expect Intel to make it available under FRAND terms.
It's funny that he says that because I remember him almost a decade ago asking on LinkedIn "how we will encourage more young people to pursue careers in science and technology". Well, that's how. Space exploration is sexy and intriguing as hell. Take for example how much admiration and awe the Cassini mission has created. We have a tiny vessel in the edges of our solar system some 1,5bn kms away exploring unknown worlds and sending back valuable feedback. You can't but feel humbled by all that. Imagine now what will happen if a few years in the future we find life in some planet out there.

Space exploration will bring more people to science because it attracts a lot of attention. It's intriguing because it involves a multitude of disciplinaries from engineering to biology, geology, physics, astronomy, you name it. Look at how many great sci-fi movies have been produced in the last decade. The reason for that is that younger generations understand technology and are intrigued by it. And there's nothing more intriguing than setting a colony on Mars or sending a probe το Europa to drill on the ice in search for life.

We do that, and thirty years down the road we'll have two or three times as many scientists as we have today. And then they will take humanity further. As they've done for the last 200 years. We live in a time of prosperity due to scientific breakthroughs, from fighting infectious deceases that expanded life expectancy to decades, to improving agriculture productivity and thus increase access to food for more people.
And that's why you're not a lawyer.

A contract can already account for training costs if an employee leaves - simply have a clause indicating a charge to the employee for the company's cost of training them if they leave before [date when training is paid for by employment]. This is actually very common in US employment contracts, and supported by case law in many states, including CA: http://www.thelelawblog.com/2016/02/articles/new-legislation...

I don't see how non-competes are a desirable alternative, because they're orthogonal to the training costs problem.

This seems like a forced critique and is certainly an inequal comparison. Ajit Pai's words wouldn't apply equally to removal of the rules he was arguing against.

Saying, "this should be legislation" and then rolling back the rule when you're in control is not inconsistent.

This is weak. There are much better ways of arguing against Pai than than this.
What does backing the existing lawsuit mean? From the article, I don't see that they have filed their own suits. Isn't this more of a media stunt to show Qualcomm as the bad guy here?

35 USC 102 (b) covers the exception that allows an inventor up to a year to file after publishing their invention. It prevents an inventor's own disclosure from being used as prior art to deny the inventor's patent request--provided the patent was filed within a year of the disclosure.

What do you think it says?

>I'm not saying it invalidates anything.

You said this:

>They do not have to pay as much attention to un-filed prior art because the US uses a "first-to-file"[2] system.

That implies that un-filed prior art was made less important by first to file, which is incorrect.

>I'm saying this kind of arm-chair lawyering isn't going to impress a judge.

Good thing I'm not trying to impress a judge. I'm just trying to stop the spread of misinformation on first to file.
I see a lot of comments where people are missing the point of the suit.

These are standard essential patents for LTE and CDMA baseband processors. They were added as part of the standard, and in exchange for that, Qualcomm agreed to license them to competitors under FRAND (fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory) terms. They arent doing that.

This article has good descriptions of the behavior Qualcomm is being accused of:

Can you elaborate more on how it's not enforceable in NL or provide some reference? Here is an example of a contract from a tech company in NL w/ a noncompete:

The Employee shall throughout the duration of this employment contract and for a period of one year after termination thereof, not be engaged or involved in any manner, directly or indirectly, whether on the account of the Employee or on the account of third parties, in any enterprise which conducts activities in a field similar to or otherwise competing with that of [COMPANY NAME] and/or its affiliates, nor act, in any manner whatsoever, directly or indirectly, whether on his own behalf or for third parties, as an intermediary in relation to such activities. This obligation applies solely to any work activities or involvement of you within the territory of Europe.
From the article:

>“Robot” is shorthand for any device or algorithm that does what humans once did, from mechanical combines and thermostats to dishwashers and airfare search sites.

"Software engineer" counts in some ways too, and that's sure growing.
