But, wouldn't you? More importantly, shouldn't you? If the people in your government are doing something that is not in your best interest then you SHOULD speak up against it. After all, the word "representative" is based on the word "represent". If they are not representing my interests to the government then I should make that known.

If I have ailment X and a bill is being pushed that pulls funding/ assistance away from ailment X, then I should make it known that I am unhappy about it. What if it is now guaranteed that I will die from ailment X? You're saying that I shouldn't kick and yell about it? I'm about to die!

However, if it is also helps people with ailment Y, Z, I, J, K, and L, then it is the government's job to recognize that maybe I am less important to the bigger picture. If enough people will be negatively impacted to the point that I will not be reelected, then maybe it doesn't truly benefit my constituency as much as I think it will.

Of course all of this is in an ideal world without accounting for the power of advertisement funding and the fact that most of the voting population isn't well educated about the issues.

> Sounds like as long as they spend some portion of their revenue on R&D, you'll argue inflated drug prices are good and necessary.

Again you're looking at the wrong denominator (fraction of spending spent on R&D, rather than fraction of R&D spending that's funded by the US).

Furthermore, I never made any claims about "good and necessary". It looks like you're interested in having a discussion about a different topic altogether, rather than the original statement.
Here is a crazy idea: What didn't Amazon make this its own Nintendo Switch? A stand with a detachable tablet? Won't this be even better?
I thought that as well, but now that i've gotten into the home automation game, i've found that TVs just aren't fast enough for it.

My TV takes 15 seconds on average to start up, and then another 3 or 4 to have sound. There is no easy way to turn them on and off in a reliable manner, and for some unknown reason many disable CEC by default...

Not to mention that having to choose between watching something on TV and using the device is an annoying decision to make in a lot of cases.
Why? I think a company that sells products can just use their website, the #12 most visited website on the planet to announce it. The Steve Jobs style keynote is so gauche now, even Apple seems sort of clunky doing it. You can't do the same magic trick over and over and expect people to be into it.
I echoed this idea in a comment yesterday.

The medical industry is the only industry with a broad anti-trust exemption. What this means is that they do not have to publish prices like all other industries.

How can one expect to control costs if you cannot even know how much things cost?

Removing this anti-trust exemption and allowing the public to see prices for the common procedures would be a good start.
I used to be a professional musician and I've used a lot of real Ableton equipment and I still found this incredibly interesting and fun.
Are you being serious? What kind of evidence is the lack of SDK? There are tons of gadgets without any SDK whatsoever in the open, do you accept this as evidence of the lack of features on these gadgets? Do you think Xbox One does not have a GPU because there is no open SDK for that? Do you think Tesla Model S does not have driving assists because there is no SDK?
Amazon itself and all reviews lauded "eye scroll" and stupid paralax shit on Fire Phone. They wrote articles how much effort they've spent on eye tracking and how it's going to change the world. It happened in our reality. If you missed it, forgot it or are being in denial - read the internet, it still has traces left. Please don't come at me saying the major tech sites are delusional and you are not.
It might even make sense for many of those enterprise developers to have a set of best practices that they can blindly follow. Not every developer has that many years of experience or is sharp enough to be able to identify the cases where unit testing makes sense, and those where it doesn't.
I've been using Ableton Live for about a week after getting a free copy with the USB interface I bought (Focusrite Scarlett 2i2, highly recommend) and I had to turn to YouTube to figure out how to actually sequence MIDI drums in it.

I use it pretty much solely for recording, but I take advantage of the MIDI sequencer functions to program in a drum beat instead of recording to a click, because I've found my timing and rhythm is so much better playing to drums than it is just playing to a metronome.
That's not how you figure out what the consensus is. At best, you may get an idea of what the person speaking believes (or wants you to believe) the consensus is, but researchers always have their own opinions and their own agenda so you can't really rely on talks and articles in the lay press.

To be able to say that you know what the consensus is in any given field the gold standard must be what scientists in that field do: read about 250 papers each year for a few years, speak to as many other researchers as possible and go to a few conferences and workshops, until you really understand were things are and how they are moving along.

I appreciate that's a high standard, but that's the general idea. If you can't do that, then at least be aware of the fact that the opinion you have formed is not terribly informed and you 're not any kind of authority on the matter.

TPM?

Standard critique of TPM includes pointing out that manufacture is a black box of trust. The ability to completely control both software and hardware seems like it would make this scheme more desirable.
If people don't know that a vulnerability exists (For example: the Intel Active Management Technology) it can be very easy for the company to just ignore it. (Especially if it is one that reflects badly on the company) However, if people know that a vulnerability exists, it puts the ball in the companies court to do something about it.

However, that is just my personal opinion about the reason for Travis' tweets (which happen every time a large vulnerability is discovered), and I have no security background. I trust that people like Travis, who have done a lot of work to improve security, to know how to minimize the damage from the vulnerabilities.

>> random tokens do rely on cryptography

True. Random tokens do need a cryptographically strong PRNG. But when I wrote no cryptography, I meant there is no encryption or signatures. The token is used as a key to a server side data structure.

>> Signing and encryption are conceptually different ideas, don't mix them

Not sure where I mixed them? A stateless session cookie can be signed or it can be encrypted - both are valid. A signed cookie would let clients see the contents, but wouldn't let them modify it. An encrypted cookie would make it opaque to the clients.
I thought the exact same thing. It basically looks like a tablet with really good speakers that runs "skills" as opposed to "apps." I have no doubt that Amazon will be able to sell a ton of these but I'm clearly not the demographic. Though, it does make me wonder, where is the ceiling for personal assistant features? At what point does Amazon saturate its own market?
Better density of info without having to listen to a long winded reply. It doesn't work for everything, but I can see the utility for things like a weather summary..."show me the 7 day forecast". Mentioned elsewhere, though, I would rather have this integrated into a TV dongle like their Fire TV.

If you're curious about blending some of the "don't increase by a power of two" memory efficiency gains, I implemented this in a cuckoo hash table for TensorFlow, also using Lemire's trick: https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/tensorf...

Some people can't afford to be overly picky with their bank, and I know at least one person who has been screwed by at least one of the big (US, consumer) banks (Bank of America, Chase, Citi, US Bank, Wells Fargo) - all of them suck.

For as awful as they are, Wells Fargo even has the "opportunity" checking account that gives people who have negative marks on ChexSystems a second chance at having a proper checking account. Compared to the awful re-loadable debit cards from Walmart, et. al, it's a great option and the monthly fee can be waived with 10 debit transactions per month or $500 in direct deposits.

Would I go out of my way to say I LIKE Wells Fargo? Hell no, they've done tons of shady stuff - but compared to how US Bank has screwed over every one in my family at least once they've been at a "below average" level of suck.
Imagine the power of your whole programming language available to you at compile time. That is a Lisp macro. It gives you the ability to write simple and elegant code, which can then be compiled down into the unreadable nasty code after, while still being as fast as if you wrote the nasty code by hand. Another term for this is zero-cost abstraction. What is nice in Lisp is you can also use the (macroexpand ) function to see what Lisp code will actually be generated.. it's Lisp all the way down!

If you look at the Servant library [1] for ClojureScript, they wrapped the callback-hell mess that is Javascript web workers (read: the only way to actually multi-thread on the web), into beautiful Go-style channels, via the use of macros.

Are you asking what can be centrally designed/planned to soften the blow of technological progress for those whose professions become obsolete? To that question, I would say nothing. And this isn't from a philosophical POV; it's from a very pragmatic/logical POV (which admittedly seems cold at first glance).

Pragmatically, these kinds of questions have to be weighed by net-harm vs net-good. By stifling innovation or subsidizing bad ways of doing things you are choosing a (relatively) small amount of good (preserving some obsolete job so that people don't lose those specific jobs) over the much larger net-good that increase economic output provides for the entire system.

If you have an open mind; I would suggest reading the chapter "The Curse of Machinery" from Henry Hazlitt's 1946 work "Economics in One Les­son". It can be read here for free: https://fee.org/articles/the-curse-of-machinery/

Would never suggest this will change your world, but it might help you understand the opposing POV.
This is exactly the issue being discussed here - ASP.NET Core will not run on .NET Framework in the future.

Today .NET Core is younger and smaller so it's easy to also run .NET Core apps on .NET Framework since .NET Framework is larger and has everything implemented already - but as we progress with new APIs in .NET Standard, .NET Framework will continue to fall behind (until it gets those major multi-year updates). So you can still use older ASP.NET Core versions (like today's 1.x) on .NET Framework but eventually the newer versions will be too far ahead of the .NET Framework.

However, .NET Core is cross-platform and runs just fine on windows, brings its own dependencies, and will be able to use .NET Framework libraries so this whole issue is overblown. System.Drawing, ActiveDirectory, and other APIs will be added to .NET Core soon enough. If you really need COM interop, then either just stick with .NET Framework apps or use older .NET Core apps.

At that point, it becomes a "stateless session cookie". It's a valid pattern, just called a different thing in the document.

Yes, and the document calls it "Stateful session cookie", and even highlights that every framework supports it.

For me, I need at least 6.5 hours of sleep to be mentally productive. What I do is set the alarm for 7 hours later from the point I go to bed. I realize it can take a little bit of time to fall asleep. I also avoid any caffeine past 3 pm.

I do not jump out of bed as I ended up getting an injury one time from the quick movement of my knee.

When I do get up, I drink a glass of water and get dressed right away and go for a 2 mile fast walk.

This gets my blood flowing and allows me to work out things on my mind.
"living paycheck to paycheck is now a commonplace middle-class experience"

Gaslighting. They're in the poverty class but that sounds bad to people propagandized to believe they're middle class. You're not poor, you're just a temporarily inconvenienced millionaire and you should base all your political decisions and worldview on that rather peculiar belief.

They're middle class, the same way I'm upper class nobility because I was awarded a college degree complete with a title of "Bachelor of CS". Some guys are titled "Duke of York" some guys are titled "Bachelor of Computer Science" no big difference. I hold a title to property, sure its only an acre of suburb land not a hundred thousand acre barony, but whatevs, I'm practically landed nobility. Only people with a title as distinguished as mine are allowed to hold corporate positions such as mine, we can't have a mere untitled commoner writing programs now can we? Or would you prefer to hear a nice rant on who is the real nobility of the glorious and ancient title of "engineer" and who is a mere pretender to the throne?

USA is full of gaslighting top to bottom.

> However, drugs can be very profitable, so you could just as easily say that all the countries share the cost of the research, and the US subsidizes the profits of the private companies.

Sure, though only if you assume that the companies would pursue the same research and achieve the same results without a profit incentive.

Except, we have pretty clear empirical evidence that that isn't the case. The overwhelming majority of both medical research spending and clinical medical discoveries come out of organizations that pursue a profit motive. That's true globally - it's true in the US, in Europe, and in China and India.

And even then, you can't say that companies "share the cost of research equally", because there is literally no objective metric under which European countries pay an amount of research proportional to how much they consume. Even European pharmaceutical companies obtain the bulk of their research funds from the US market.
I started using .NET for one, and only one reason: interop. Now that they're gutting interop, I want to jump ship, except there aren't any alternatives!

> With eight microphones, beam-forming technology, and noise cancellation, Echo Show hears you from any direction—even while music is playing

I've never heard of 'beam-forming'...

From wikipedia:

> Beamforming or spatial filtering is a signal processing technique used in sensor arrays for directional signal transmission or reception.[1][2] This is achieved by combining elements in an antenna array in such a way that signals at particular angles experience constructive interference while others experience destructive interference. Beamforming can be used at both the transmitting and receiving ends in order to achieve spatial selectivity. The improvement compared with omnidirectional reception/transmission is known as the directivity of the array.

> Beamforming can be used for radio or sound waves. It has found numerous applications in radar, sonar, seismology, wireless communications, radio astronomy, acoustics and biomedicine. Adaptive beamforming is used to detect and estimate the signal-of-interest at the output of a sensor array by means of optimal (e.g. least-squares) spatial filtering and interference rejection.

So if I'm reading that right, it is to detect nearby humans based on their impact on existing wifi signals? Is that correct?

I've been working on a 1-man project with maybe 5% test coverage, just for some critical libraries that I ended up refactoring a few times. There's actually one little library that has 100% test coverage and super detailed error messages, because that's where many of the bugs seemed to happen.

I also have a simple integration test that just clicks through everything and makes sure nothing crashes.

Not having a lot of tests can be painful. Especially when you're learning new languages or frameworks, you almost always want to go back and rewrite some code (or just reorganize it into different files), and it's really nice to have tests when you do that. So sometimes that gives me the motivation to start writing up a bunch of tests, and then after that I dive in and refactor everything.
non-anonymized, non-aggregate selling of ISP data is still outlawed by

I have an old iPad taped to my kitchen wall for recipes, YouTube, and playing music via Bluetooth.

It's really handy but "Hey Siri" works maybe 30% of the time. I don't really use it anymore. The worst part is that Siri can't integrate with other music apps, other note taking apps, other video players, or pretty much anything. So it's incredibly crippled despite being able to parse my requests.

If Alexa can fix that, this would be pretty neat.

What's especially impressive is that the OP-1 has only four tracks, and only does destructive recording with no undo. Meaning that if you want more than four instruments, you have to overdub the same track, and any mistake will ruin the current loop.

In other words, you really need to know what you're doing and have a really good idea of what you want to play to be able to make a song as elaborate as this.

I agree that TDD and unit tests can help you when writing code. But once your code has been written, are all those unit tests still useful? Or do they get in your way when you do large scale refactoring?

I have seen quite a few codebases with loads of unit tests that might once have been useful, but now were just slowing down development. Many of them should have been thrown away and replaced by a couple of functional tests, however the sunk cost fallacy always kicked in, nobody wanted to throw away all the hours of work that had gone into making them and not to forget the precious code coverage as well.
