Coliving Isn’t Just for Startups: A Developer Is Building Upscale Dorms
Yes indeed, including in some cases changing the temporal order of events based on reason or new data. For example, I once misheard a drinking mug shatter on the floor before it slid off the kitchen surface.

But reason corrected the memory.

I'd like to add that I think 'living in the moment' is powerful and useful despite not being literally true because it points to something real and important.

> The internet was around for a decade or more before the web.

Though the definition is fuzzy the Internet traces it's roots back to the 60's, specifically the first connection between two machines on arpanet was 1969.

1981 (a decade before the web) did see a big exapansion but there where already several hundred machines talking to each other by then.
I think you've answered your own question.

We've invested tens of millions of dollars into each of these institutions. They are not meeting up to the reason for their existence.

Feeding kids, providing a place for them to play sports, and so on? Sounds like we may actually be doing that. Ok, so keep the buildings and fund them to achieve that purpose and that purpose only. Then, immediately afterwards, begin a discussion about education which is separate from the concerns you outline.

The goal here isn't some temper tantrum to punish kids. The goal here is actually being honest about what we are doing and why. If we're honest, we might have a way forward. If we keep up the political bickering, we never will. And the kids will continue to suffer.

Personally I don't find it as childish as EPYC, but it seems like a unnecessary change. The previous naming scheme seemed to have worked just fine for Intel.

AMD on the other hand probably needed a clean break since they were behind for a decade.

What do you think about the name EPYC? Will that name harm the adoption in the datacenter? Is maybe the WoW generation now in charge which has no problems with more fancy names, which I can see happen with more conservative older people?

If you are already a haskell shop and need some way to write JSON schema, this probably doesn't seem too much over engineer. On the other hand, if the purpose is just to limit the expressiveness of JSON schema, I think a runtime checking is more than enough (that's how we solved our problem). Since any data schema we write inevitably has a "validation" phase during our build process. And doing runtime checking during the build phrase allows more flexible and extensible validation; with less abstraction to be understood by the strawman.

The Next TV.

I firmly believe the next wave of technology will hit our TVs. The final nut has been cracked and that is the remote. Typing on a TV is the worse and voice won't help, so a dual touch/keyboard piece of glass is all needed to make the TV the next entertaining device after the mobile phone. But they need to converge all devices needed right now into one. I don't need a pc, a mobile working as a remote, a tv device and a tv screen in order to enjoy the future. I need ONE TV with a glass remote. That's it. Google and Apple are missing the elephant in the room.

What would Steve Jobs do? A 60" Apple TV with an iPod like remote for $3995 in dark aluminum and a 40" version for $1995 and still sell the attachable box for $150 for those who already have a shitty TV. Allow Safari and all apps without restrictions, even Popcorn Time. Can't fight what the consumers want.
Many democracies have done so before. The US can do so too.
Very interesting principle. Now when I think about this games utilize this design heavily. For example in Final Fantasy X you can select which statistics to improve or skills to learn on a Sphere Grid. The Grid is designed so that its effect is mostly predictable and similar to previous games (in terms of skills learned and stats increased) but the player has a feeling like he was in control here.

I had this idea for a quantum computer simulation which stores states similar to how the physicist writes them. Eg a|00> + b|11> becomes {(0,0):a, (1,1):b}. In general sums of kets, bras, operators are represented by dictionaries.

Implementing operations on a QC is a very parallelization task, but is hard to do concurrently with built-ins.
> I try to write a post in a short amount of time it somehow spirals out of control and becomes 3 full days of work...

Writing, especially when you want it to be good writing backed by solid evidence (or a solid plot), is not an easy thing. I liken it to programming: the language is rather poorly specified in comparison, but the planning and researched required to do it properly is at least as arduous.
We were talking about Baltimore. All of our visits to the moon have come since there was a Republican mayor of Baltimore.

In a less ideological point, I'd argue that a political monoculture is part of the issue. It's hard to hold local politicians accountable if there's no real chance for repercussions for being corrupt or just doing a poor job.

This does help me a lot to get this response. I personally actually love downloading and testing small tools and sometimes worry my search for better tools or the promise of better tools is a distraction. But, maybe this willingness to continue the search is just highly correlated with my fascination and interest in becoming a programmer.
So, the GE9x is a super-high-bypass turbofan that makes unusually heavy use of composites and additive manufacturing techniques, and gains about 10.5 inches in fan diameter (and might shed some pounds) over the GE90 parent design currently used on most 777s. I don't know where Wired is getting the 148in figure - duct or nacelle diameter, maybe. It's right for a 737's fuselage, so maybe the writer took a metaphorical statement as literal. But that's not an unusual size for an engine on a 777, and if you've seen one of these big widebody twins alongside its narrowbody elder cousin - or, better yet, superimposed, as in [1] - you know that it's not really a surprise to hear that the engines of the former are comparable in diameter to the fuselage of the latter.

Wired's really gone down the clickbait hole in the last few years - not that it was ever as substantial as it liked to make itself out, but still disappointing to see.

It does not get much better by the end, and it is even worse in laying out Marcuse's objections.
This isn't quite hitting the spot to me (non-server hardware, you still administer the OS, single location), but it does seem indicative of a potential new wave of low-cost cloud providers.

Someone like Vultr, Linode, or DO is positioned well to deliver an "AWS lite" offering. They all have decent hardware, lots of locations, and a good delivery history. A bit of work to put together ELB/EC2/Lambda/S3 equivalents and a control panel would open up a new market. Especially if they offered low egress pricing.
True, but for the sake of easy management I would still imagine the OpenStack setup to be better. Hopefully they will add some configuration options that make it possible to choose every server type in their lineup to be configured as OpenStack cloud.

There's so much wrong with the post you're responding to. A lot of which you already highlighted.

I do want to mention two things first, though.

On the topic of evolution, evolution does not occur within an individual, IE: pokemon, which, I feel like, the OP was trying to suggest. Also, on the topic of evolution, who's to say that a quiet mind is ideal? There have been rational arguments that mental illness exists due to evolution.

On the topic of a totally silent mind. That doesn't exist. Brain scans show that even when people meditate and believe that their mind is completely inactive, that there is activity going on. It's commonly known in those circles that it's impossible to be completely blank, and it's even frowned upon to even attempt it; as, ironically, it has the opposite effect of creating more activity.
The photo even seems roughly like "The Thing"...just crystals instead of ice.
Motherboards are cheap almost solely because of scale - they're sold by the tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands. They're also sold at a much lower margin (I would imagine). They also benefit from having an in-house production chain, e.g if you're Foxconn you have an entire city working just for you. As a hobbyist you need to pay someone else to make things for you (and pay their salaries +overheads too).

My comment about resistors was that most assembly houses will give you certain components for free because they're an insignificant fraction of the price. Also because almost every digital PCB will use e.g 0.1uF capacitors, they can buy enormous quantities. If you look at the link below you see that most of the cost is in the few specialised parts like the North/southbridge, sound card and connectors.

Here's a teardown and BOM analysis for a motherboard: http://electronics360.globalspec.com/article/3280/asus-p5kpl... . Note the BOM cost is essentially the sale price.

This is partly why Apple's stuff costs so much, because they actually price their devices reasonably (from a business sense). Everyone else works on razor thin margins to give you the illusion that hardware is cheap.
That's incredible. For anyone who doesn't think in terms of square feet, that's a square with a 270 meter edge.
Because the fact that daily work exhausts people and drains their energy is some kind of complex nuanced issue that requires dedicated research to verify?

Obviously it depends on how demanding/time consuming the daily job is, but that's a standard observation with millennia of empirical evidence.

I swear, it's like people can't even tie their shoes anymore unless there's a long-term study (and preferably, meta studies) to prove them that tying one's shoelaces is good.
You Are (Probably) Doing Login Systems Wrong
I don't get it for 90% of startup this setup is more than enough to start and far cheaper then goog, Amazon, azure. Just the problem is most modern devops are lazy to learn the basics of setting a HA system with proper backup. Hertzner make it easy but one needs to know what they are doing. I am happy customer of hetzner for 4 years which is better given personal data privacy better in Germany then in USA(initially that was the primary reason of choosing them, to get away from usa based data center after Snowden).
> Our brains are back propagating, recursive neural networks (...)

Why so you say that? Or knowledge of the brain is still very very dim and rudimentary, and ANNs are simple mathematical models (inspired by brain neural networks, to be sure) to fit parameters to data. It's a bit naive, in my view, to assert such a simplistic answer to a very hard question without conclusive evidence for anything.
People can work on file garbages, I seen that too many times to say otherwise. But once their company starts being non-trash, these actions form into strict processes, responsibilities and access rights anyway. 200 different copies of a file is a red flag of management.
You make good points, however, you misunderstood my request a little bit. I am not planning to hire engineers before I have an idea. Rather, I am looking for potential collaborators - engineers who are bored doing the same old thing and want to create something new. Fortunately, for the right people and the right project, I have access to funding. Hopefully, that clarifies things a bit

Also, I do disagree with your statement that ideas have absolutely no value. That's a categorical assertion. Ideas have a lot of value- I have personal experience with monetizing good ideas. I do agree that ideas are only one of the inputs and the details of the execution matter just as much

I don't usually mix personal hardware and software with work. The Corp usually hired me for "works for hire" (which is the typical arrangement in the US), which means anything I create is theirs. Mixing in my personal hardware muddies the waters about who owns what, so it's just better to let them provide the hardware/software to do the job and use that instead of using my stuff.
It's not creativity, it's mental energy. Most people don't have the capacity to even work 40 mentally demanding hours per week, let alone double that. Just look around at your colleagues and ask how many are really working hard eight hours every day for five days straight. I know I'm not. My best output comes in shorter stretches of flow a maximum of a few hours long, and often not even every day.
I agree with your estimate.

Perhaps also add testing costs in there. With that many components one would have to do some some or all of... flying-probe, automated optical inspection and functional testing. The testing alone would have significant setup costs in the thousands of dollars, that get small when amortized over MANY units (but I seriously doubt there will be more than a few made of these!). Given that this is an actual CPU, functional test is going to be fairly complex.

Really glad that someone has taken the time to do this project, it is effectively a work of art or an interesting discussion piece.
How Powerful Are Microsoft Azure’s Free Jupyter Notebooks?
It's cool just for the blinking lights alone. Computers are so boring these days, at least from my growing up with 60-70s SciFi.

It'd be cool to build a blinken lights bus expander for the C64, or other 8-bit computers of that era. Complete with switches for data and register access, like a PDP or Altair.
I'm not a big fan of putting machine learning into a file system. Usually you can't understand why a machine learning algorithm is doing what it's doing, and I would be worried about a production server suddenly having massively different performance because the cache learning algorithm started doing something differently.
Interesting idea, but I would want to battle test it before I bought in.
Point taken! Thanks for the response. While I do have a hard time imagining me recommending this project to anyone (without instead opting for real git commands or gui) your comment encourages me to at least try imagining a future where this project gets surprising widespread adoption and something many maintain and depend on. Like you suggest, it could cut a lot of entry costs if it doesn't double them. ;)

1. Single parent households have it harder on average. In American culture, that generally means that mothers (and grandmothers) raise the kids, not the dads. "Fatherlessness" is shorthand for this.

2. Men actually bring some things to family and neighborhood culture. Some people might get offended at this notion, but it's not controversial to say that femininity is wonderful, distinctive, and has special things to offer. But this must also be true of masculinity. I'd argue that men, generally speaking, have different ways to approach the problems you list. This is applying the "diversity makes us better" principle in a place really needing some new ideas and new strength.
What would Steve Jobs do?

A Mac Nano for $99 to compete with the Raspberry Pi.

A Mac Mini for $199 to spread the love of OSX.

An iPhone mini for $199 to spread the love of iOS.

A 60" Apple TV (yes, with screen) with an iPod like remote.

Siri.com as a text search engine.

Apple Pay as money transfer between individuals.

If Apple wants to keep their high quality mark untouched, they should spin a second company codenamed "Orange" and deliver lower quality devices in order to spread their platforms.

It is time for Apple to leave the constrained niche they've cornered themselves into. 10% of the top market is a good position to hold forever, just like Rolex, but in the era of social virality market penetration is a must for survival, you must be everywhere and in every device.

If you need validation, the quick way is to setup some adverts. Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc. Or find a place where you can spread your pitch and link. You should have some kind of validation goal, like email signup or trial download or something.

Product Hunt is a good place or maybe some beta sites like BetaList to get started.

The longer and "cheaper" way is to write your own content, which gets attention. It depends on how connected you are already. Some people have already a huge interested audience.
> ...in this case because there's an epidemic of fatherlessness among American blacks

To be fair, it's a massive problem (and growing) in latino and non-latino white populations as well. Black populations experienced the issues first, but it's an across-the-board issue for lower middle class and impoverished communities now.
Apparently I'm not being clear here. I understand the theory. I am looking for proof of actual daily use among specific groups of real-world users. And by real-world, I mean people who are not in it for the tech, but just regular people who are doing it because it's the best solution for their needs.

That startups exist doesn't prove anything about use. What I'm looking for is traction.
>Short term evolution over one's lifetime (getting better at swimming, getting better at coding, etc.) is a very different matter than a species evolution

In the context you're referring to, 'short term evolution', isn't evolution at all. That's a misuse of the word evolution.

For me it's on spot, I don't like Amzn, goog, msft blackbox. This is a decent HA system for 90% startup adding just backup will make it perfect. It's better then ELB/EC2/Lambda/S3 as it uses openstack api under your own control.

> So if they combine all of that in one command including taking care of everything which can go wrong I can imagine getting 15 commands.

My concern would be: what happens when the automation encounters and edge case; what kind of unholy mess would you end up with?

And to be fair, with GitHub and GitLab, doing local feature branch merges has become a very rare event for me in the last 5 years.
I agree with everything you say. It just to narrow. Japan would not have not developed if not pushed. Botswana would not as rich if the Brits had never come.

It just not as simple, its not linear and then colonialism comes along and is holding you back. The reality is that the institutions need to develop are complex, culture, foreign involvement, geography all play a role.

Africa is poor because colonialism story just does not hold up. Its a part of the story, but by itself it explains little.

Japan is not successful because they were not a colony. The are successful because they had a centralized state for a long time, that state was was able adopt new institutions. Even had the been a colony, once the imperialist leave Japan would probably have better growth is the avg. growth in Africa.
