This is absolutely true, and I'll take it even a step further: great people can still form dysfunctional teams even if they all do good individual work.

Often times in an early stage startup the problem is the team doesn't gel enough to adequately explore the problem space. In those cases, the founder might conclude that the opportunity wasn't there, but maybe it's because people weren't aligned enough to push far enough in the right direction. It's impossible to know whether there was really a viable business there, or whether it was a failure of the team. But subjectively after going through several startups and other early stage projects, I know the feeling of a team that is gelling, and it can make an unquantifiably huge difference to early results.
It's way better than hand-coding NDISWrapper but that isn't trivial unless you're already familiar with Linux.

I had a friend ask me about installing a distro the other day. I told him to buy a Linode/DO box or use WSFL instead of finagling with hardware. My Dell XPS 13 is sold _as_ a Linux machine, and there aren't drivers for everything.

All Things Mobile at Microsoft Build
It was a bit of a chicken and egg problem: there was no incentive to have a decent terminal since+because there was no decent shell+platform. IOW the command line was a rudimentary tool, an artefact from the past, not a central piece of the experience. PowerShell barely moved the dial, but now that there's a trend towards the Unix experience, that may very well bootstrap some more glorious CLI days on Windows, which may even benefit PowerShell in some way.

Yeah, different state, but too slow, too painful, and not quite enough money. The government needs to pay above the final sale price because of the inconvenience. The premium and quick delivery are worth it to protect the wolves.
Starting at the reserve can spook some bidders and make it hard to start the auction. Starting below the reserve usually gets some momentum going in the bidding, and that tends to carry over to a higher final price.

Advertising a price that's below the reserve is pretty unethical, though it's not illegal (the seller is never locked into a price). People end up wasting time and money (getting reports) for houses that were never actually in their price range in the first place.

> figuring out how to handle surplus labor without (often violent) societal upheaval will be the defining issue of this century

The jobs and the welfare of individuals are the top priorities IMHO, but I'm not sure there is a great problem. This isn't at all a new situation.

If you look at the jobs of a century ago in advanced economies, most of them are gone yet employment now is relatively high. Just think of the homemakers who were displaced by the automation of home care (clothes washers and dryers, vacuum cleaners, etc.); that might approach half the population. There's also textiles, mining, factory work, etc. It's a regular process: Productivity improves, less labor is needed in one area, and so it shifts to something more productive. If it wasn't for that creative destruction, there would be no software developers; they'd all be in the mines and fields.

What is different this time? I've heard all sorts of speculation, but I haven't heard anyone with expertise seriously analyze and address it.

There are problems: To me the essential issue is that while the economy in aggregate grows through this process, individuals don't live in aggregate; they suffer (and sometimes gain) tremendously. The economy may grow 4% in aggregate, but most people don't get 4% richer; some lose 100% of a job (and house and children's education, and even healthcare in the U.S.) or gain 100% of a job. Perhaps that is no longer acceptable to us; it's not to me. The factory may move to a different part of the country, and in aggregate the economy marginally grows (there are the same number of factories in the country and we can assume it was moved to increase productivity), but all those individuals lost jobs.

In addition, some research shows that a large segment of the population hasn't been getting wealthier for decades; only a few are. For example,

Jumping out of a plane wearing a wingsuit is reasonably safe. If something goes wrong, you deploy your parachute. If your parachute fails, you deploy your reserve. You have plenty of time to control with a spin or stall.

Jumping off a rooftop or a mountain wearing a wingsuit is practically suicidal. If something goes wrong, you die. The margin of error is simply too small.

The latter form of wingsuit flying is relatively new and highly controversial, even within the wingsuit and BASE jumping communities.
This is pretty straightforward. The existance of the epigenetic mechanism is, itself, a result of Darwinian evolution.

Where epigenetics seems weird to people is simply that it goes beyond the modern synthesis -- i.e. it's not just DNA base pairs. But plain-ol' Darwinian evolution doesn't depend on genetics via DNA base-pairs, it depends simply on inherited characteristics, however they are inherited.

It's interesting seeing 'accelerationism' floating up to the hackernews crowd. Unfortunately, this article misses the lasting value of the theory in the arts where it flourishes as nothing short of an artistic movement. Accelerationism has only indirect relations to technology, intelligence, "progress" and is NOT to be mistaken for technological progress or "fast transhumanism" or "irresponsible transhumanism" or singularity chit chat. If this is what you have in mind, keep studying.

I am steeped in the circle of artists and thinkers who have been toying with accelerationism, the most important of who are properly mentioned in the article (Marx, Noys, Land, Deleuze and Guittari, more) but the article ultimately misses the usefulness of the concept and waters it down into yet another transhumanist navel gazing and further sci-fi gargling. Accelerationism seems easiest grasped by American millenials and grey haired leftist philosophers, in other words those with a nurtured consciousness of mass consumer culture.

Accelerationism is an angle of marxism most at home in aesthetic studies and pretty much nowhere else. Accelerationism usually reveals itself as a reflexive irony (with sometimes thick nuance) in it's aesthetic applications, related to exacerbated effects/affects of the commercial abstraction loop to the point where commercial abstraction is not only "there" but is the material of life experience itself. There are significant strains of culture that are out and out "accelerationist" style. I would argue accelerationism revives the Pop art torch in a truly Warholian manner and at contention with the desperate and defensive current state of institutional contemporary art. Vaporwave, post-internet, Dis Magazine, health goth, 2016 Berlin Biennale are at the least affiliates of accelerationist art and at the most it's representatives.

I guess not. It requires hardware features from Snapdragon 820/835.
Fitbits don't do smart alarms, which is what he's asking for. He wants an alarm to wake up him roughly around the end of a sleep cycle. No fitbit currently has this feature at all.

I was confused since I was sure it didn't have this feature. Had to look it up to make sure.
I feel that's rather subjective.

I personally prefer the Windows 7 and Windows 10 interface to OSX. I really liked metro; I also prefer the windowing system in general with the snapping and other features. The designs of the surface studio, the surface book, and surface pro are much more compelling than anything I've seen out of Apple in recent memory. My goodness, that surface studio..

IMHO MS is a MUCH more exciting company ATM from a design standpoint; or from just about any other point I would stand.

They aren't clear what they mean by "97% accuracy". Does that mean 97% of people with arrhythmia are correctly diagnosed, or 97% of people are correctly diagnosed or not-diagnosed? If it's the latter, it's not very helpful at all. The number of people in the general population with arrhythmia is significantly less than 3%, so if this Apple Watch test says you have arrhythmia it is far more likely to be a false positive than a true positive.

I know what you mean.

I had this issue before. I was complaining about a product on a forum and was a bit annoyed because it was expensive and did not work properly. I didn't call them names, but it was obvious in my tone that I was dissatisfied. Sadly, the moderators on that forum called it "trolling" and I got banned. Those moderators sadly also made money through the company I complained about since the forum is linked to the store.

So yeah. I can see what you mean.

You're confusing Sensitivity (also called the true positive rate), Specificity (also called the true negative rate), and conditional probabilities.

I've never had a 4000 that survived more than a couple of years. Inevitably one of the keys gives out, and then it's off to Office Depot to buy another one.

The main thing it's got going for it is the overall layout, which is fantastic. If someone made a keyboard using mechanical switches with the same layout I'd snap it up in a hot second. But for reasons unknown, while keyboards with mechanical switches have proliferated in recent years, none of them incorporate 4000-style ergonomic features like split keys or a curved key bed.
> While the 680x0 might have been nicer to program, because of its very CISCy semantics

Convince me to be wrong, but to my knowledge the 68k was more comfortable to program since

* it simply had more general purpose registers available (this "register shortage" was only reduced in x86-64)

* at that time x86 was in DOS particular used in real mode (which is not very comfortable to program for), though protected mode was theoretically available from 286 on

* there are some commonly instructions that had/have to be used with specific registers, which made the x86 instruction set feel "rather unorthogonal" (though in my opinion it was better than its reputation). For example the "MUL" instruction (unsigned multiplication) only accepts some specific register(s) as destination

> http://x86.renejeschke.de/html/file_module_x86_id_210.html

This was IMHO much worse in real mode, since for example

- there in/out were common instructions for writing DOS applications

- you could not address relatively to the stack pointer sp in x86-16 bit code (cf. https://reverseengineering.stackexchange.com/q/11442/12822), so that you had to write introns and outrons like

push ebp
mov ebp, esp

mov esp, ebp
pop ebp

(this is not a concern in x86-32 and x86-64 bit code, since there you can address relatively to esp/rsp).

Do you know particular details what these hardware features are?
It is actually possible to do using a feature called dual source blending, which unfortunately is so rarely used that drivers tend to fail to implement it properly. But it does give you the possibility to use 3+ alpha channels with full hardware acceleration, at some memory cost.

Though since DPIs are going up and 3 alpha channels is such an unusual thing, I guess they just figured it wasn't worth the trouble.

Most direct human vs human sports have a space constraint, but not all sports do. Hunting, for example, doesn't have a space constraint (not a feasible one, at least. Sure, you might be constrained by a state, but all sports are currently constrained by our planet). You did specifically mention fighting sports though.

> MMA limitations seems to be, do not attack sensitive parts and do not kill the opponent. There's nothing to master other than survival.

Perhaps you would like to see this list of MMA rules[1]? It seems there are quite a few rules other than what you listed, and there are a few ways to end the fight. There are, for example, technical knock-outs, and doctors can call the fight.

> Every people trying to use one genre/style, ended up smashed by the people that went purely for pragmatics (put the guy down, smash his face until submission).

That isn't what I remember seeing every time when UFC first started. What I remember is that certain styles were immediately shown to be more practical when the setting is one-on-one and with less constraints that are purely to enforce a style. Grappling quickly showed its strength, and those people that had no answer for that found themselves at a severe disadvantage. Striking is useful, but has a very specific useful range, and it generally does not include "on top of me". The sport relatively quickly moved towards submission and/or maneuvering your opponent such that you can strike but not be grappled.

Just as in boxing, where a single opening can lead to one or two devastating hits that can decide or at least greatly influence a fight, in MMA the same can happen. Much of the fight is about the strategy and tactics of maneuvering into that position.

> My (own personal subjective perceptional) definition of art cannot accept this.

I don't think you need to reassess your definition, but I think it's possible you are making assertions without enough knowledge to know how true they are. I rarely watch MMA or Boxing, maybe once a year, but still I can see that quite a bit of skill, strategy and tactics goes into what the fighters are attempting. To the degree that some fighters undoubtedly train and incorporate more specific techniques into their current moves based on their opponents strengths and weaknesses.

So how exactly does it open a truly secure chat with someone else? If it is encrypting messages, then the recipient would have to have my public key to decrypt the message, right?

But if keybase is sending the recipient my public key, then doesn't keybase have the ability to decrypt my messages, too? And if keybase can do that, than can't everyone else that is watching the public key go over the wire decrypt my messages, too?

It seems like this is really only good for proving that the sender of a message is who they say they are, but not really good for privacy.

Please correct me if I'm wrong. How is this supposed to work?

But there sort of is. They're all just unique. But formulas are suppose to not be unique, so that's the paradox. I think one way to solve it though is with degrees of detail.
