I have a pretty big problem with the idea that if people won't do what's in their best interest, then we ought to make sure the system doesn't suck too much, even though it's guaranteed to suck because of those people's decisions (per your contextualization).

Why couldn't a government incentivize these people to move (say by offering subventions for moving out of some given place) instead of of incentivizing staying (as I understand your description to be)?

I'm fully ready to believe that government just can't be trusted with such far-reaching and non-obvious schemes, but I'm curious to know if someone can think of a way such a scheme would fail in practice (in other words: how is it like communism)?

I'm glad Swiss law doesn't affect people much outside Switzerland. I prefer to not be fined thousands of dollars for what I like or not. What if I thumbs down something that's true, is that also defamation?

This ruling is bullshit. The amount of legal waste spent on enforcing stray likes would be insane. This is an obvious violation of free speech. Let people that defame pay for their crime themselves. The idea that "liking" something defamatory can cost you a few thousand dollars means you better not attend the wrong speeches, that could be considered liking. You better not link to peoples opinions (could be considered liking.) And you better not like an honest part of someones post, while disliking another, because there's no half like button. This ruling is garbage.

Eve V is great, so how about a crowdsourced ARA like case for phones?
Late to the party coming across EVE V - crowdsourcing the whole thing is smart.

Mobile computers have longer life-cycle than phones though. What do you peeps think about a crowdsourced modular smart case for phones?

Problem set:
1. People lack the freedom to choose the hardware of their phones;

2. Smart mobile devices have fixed hardware functionality that cannot change;

3. No convenient way to add multiple accessories;

4. Mobile devices have short life-cycles - 2 years on average - 1 billion upgrades in 2015;

5. Manufacturers cannot anticipate future needs & possible applications.

I'm confused by this. I don't know if Paul Allen is a Huey Lewis fan. What I do know is that he's a big Jimi Hendrix fan.

Allen basically built a museum to (mostly) Hendrix. It's since been re-purposed somewhat, and Wikipedia doesn't have much of the history. But originally the museum was mostly Hendrix. Here are links to a few early articles that make it clearer:

At least, that's been my experience ordering from them.
And despite retraining as a therapist, he still seems to blame himself for the gross strategic negligence of a management crew that thought it reasonable to ask someone if they can write a game in five weeks. Why didn't they do prototypes during the negotiations? It's ridiculous and he shouldn't blame his 25-something ego for what happened. He didn't know what he was talking about, and the only way management wouldn't know this is if they were a bunch of man-children themselves. If it was all up to him, then why was everyone else pulling a salary?

Someone needs to read about reframing bad experiences.
Personally, I think the future is more predictable than you suggest. The standard model of physics has been stable for over half a century. New discoveries in physics typically don't throw out what came before - they make improvements that seem to be asymptotically smaller.

Asimov has an excellent essay on the topic of scientific progress: http://chem.tufts.edu/answersinscience/relativityofwrong.htm

Of course it's always possible we discover something new and groundbreaking in the laws of physics, but given that we're having to spend billions of dollars on accelerators and telescopes, it seems less and less likely that we'll find things as cheap and as useful as electricity or semiconductors.

Looking at life now compared to life in 1967, there are many differences, especially related to computer technology, but there are also many similarities. We still have ships, trains, cars, and planes. We still have roads. We still have schools. We still have houses. We still have plumbing for water and waste. We still have electricity. We still have jobs and commutes. We still have governments and corporations and money. For the most part, the structure of modern life has been pretty stable. Of course we cannot know the future, but it feels safe to me to expect similar stability over the next half century.

It really wasn't a black swan though because bombings of industrial cities were well established at that point; it is even possible that the bombing of Tokyo killed as many as the two atomic bombs combined (estimates of deaths for each have very broad ranges).

Earlier than that on the European front, there was Dresden, which killed about a third of as many that as the atomic bombing of Nagasaki.

Really, once the US established control of the air, they were capable of wiping out Japan's cities with conventional weapons.

I don't want to say too much, but I have personal knowledge of internal details at OneLogin. The company was burdened with excessive technical debt. Management did not consider security to be a priority.

Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered that would and should have been company-ending if they had become public, due to both their obscene level of severity and the extraordinary level of negligence demonstrated. There were without question many more of these types of bugs.

I sincerely hope that they've gotten their act together. I have no reason to believe they have, and many to believe that they have not. This is a press release that I have expected, and am genuinely surprised has not happened sooner.

Especially not for fucking ads. Worst is: most Instagram videos are crapshoots. Low quality, high compression - typical for selfie videos. Which means they're tolerable. But story ads tend to be high-quality productions... requiring sometimes 10+MB.

For reference: common smartphone data plans in Germany are 1-3 GB per month, for 10-30€. 5GB offers are rare and you won't get more than 10 even with expensive business packages.

Nowadays, programming is much more complex than it used to be (unless you consider toy programming languages). For me, visual feedback was always a key factor in the things that I made. When I started, there was no top down or bottom up. You just started programming, and you actually understood what was happening because it was not that complicated.

Let me give you an example. QBasic is the first language that I learned. Suppose you want to draw a white pixel in the left upper corner on the screen. To do this, you can do:
SCREEN 13
PSET (0, 0), 15

If you understand this and for-loops it is trivial to fill the screen with a color. Then the next step is to make the color of the pixel dependent on the position. I made some wonderful graphical stuff with this (rotozoomers, plasma, fire effects...).

Now, if I want to do this in C(++), I probably can, but it will take me at least an hour of research. Same thing for C#, Java, Haskell, and so on.

This is not a completely fair comparison since QBasic ran in DOS and there was no need to summon a window, but that is exactly my point: things keep getting more complex. To plot a colored pixel on the screen in QBasic, you have to know about pixels, screens and colors. To do this in a more modern environment, chances are you have to pick the right API and understand all abstractions it introduces (probably including windows, graphical contexts, buffers...). The trend seems to be to ever more abstract, complex, and powerful frameworks.

If you are already a programmer, this is a gradual progress and it is feasible to keep track of everything, but for new programmers it takes a looooong time to get up to date with all the new abstractions that people have come up with (and I think are not always that important to start programming).

Now I'm not saying that we should not introduce abstractions or frameworks or implying that DOS graphics were better than today's system with windows. I'm just saying that these advances come at a high cost, and I don't know if there is a solution.

Design is not the same as tape-out. ARM designs the logical structure of its chips (the VHDL or Verilog). They then license that design to customers (such as Apple, Samsung), who customise it.

The tape-out is completely separate from that. You need to do the physical layout and produce a set of lithographic masks that are incredibly expensive. Back in 2000, a set of masks for the most advanced technology at the time was already in the millions of dollars. Things have gotten ridiculously more complex since then.

It streamlined the process significantly, lowering the total "handling time" from a couple of hours to ~10-15m in total, which freed up time to tend to custom commissions from clients.

I don't have serious hard numbers before that, as the CRM saw its first commit around sale #6.
Several years ago, I happened on a blog post where someone demonstrated a very fast variant of the N-queens solution based on hand-written, SSE vectorized that was presented as very fast. I managed to write a faster, non-vectorized C solution that was recursive and that the compiler couldn't vectorize, and much easier to understand than the vectorized original it was based off of.

Turns out that main reason the vaunted "overkilled" solution was so abysmally slow was that the author happily used BSF and BTC in the hottest part of the loop... which are actually rather slow instructions, particularly when you're using them to control a branch (compare-and-jump is a fused µop in practice, but BTC-and-jump is not).

The point of this tail is that if you want to absolutely wring the last clock cycle out of a hot path, you usually need good microarchitectural knowledge about which operations are going to be faster and which are not. Sure, you can beat a compiler with hand-written, hand-optimized assembly code most of the time--but the people who have the skills to write such code are going to be the people working on the compilers.

The tools for optimizing compilers are getting better, and probably faster than we are capable of pumping out performance engineers to hand-craft the inner loops. In the past decade, we've seen polyhedral loop transformations become production-quality. Auto-vectorization is getting better, particularly when user-directed (think #pragma openmp simd); I know Intel has been pushing "outer-loop vectorization" very hard in the past few years. The other big fruit on the horizon is superoptimizers: I suspect we'll see superoptimizers shipping in production compilers within a decade or two.

No. The war on drugs means that when people "fall out" of civilized society due to opioid addiction they are forced to turn to street drugs. Drugs of questionable composition and strength, making dosing dangerous. The result is 100 deaths from opioid overdoses every. Single. Day.

If those people were on methadone instead, for example, hundreds of thousands of people who are now dead would still be alive.

Other people have mentioned Qt, which is great, but I'd like to point out there it also support QML which is probably better your you.

* It is backed by Qt and rendered by OpenGL, so it performs very well.

* It has very easy syntax, especially automatic variable binding, so there is very little boilerplate for event handingl.

* It supports JavaScript. You can code the logic in either JS or C++, depending on whether you need the performance or not, and it can be easily split between the two.

* They actually support two sets of pre-made controls, one that looks like desktop UI (http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtquickcontrols-index.html) and one that looks like Android or iOS (https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtquickcontrols2-index.html). Or you can design your own UI from rectangles and other shape. Or combine all three.

Unlike other skills that are trained alone, players can cooperate to train in groups of up to five players, receiving much experience per dungeon, although solo is possible and widespread. Most players would like to grind the deeper floors with a group rather than a solo. While completing these dungeons, players may earn experience in other skills by accomplishing various skill-related tasks. The items and skill materials involved are all different to their counterparts on the surface.

> Indeed, several point the fingers at closed-source software as the problem which I think is an incorrect, but not entirely unreasonable view.

I have to disagree with you there. Being able to create a fix rather than a workaround is very important to us hackers. Proprietary software is a thick wall we often beat our heads against. Since all software is written by hackers, we should promote a culture of making that software free.

Apart from that detail (wherever repeated), this is a fantastic article! There is definitely a trend from hacking to thinking, and there are several ways we can get that trend flowing the other way.

It course, thinking is the most important aspect of hacking, so we should find ways to minimize those other aspects. For example, creating a parser/editor to style code so we don't waste time nitpicking.

> Remember that the vast majority of people want software that works and is reliable, or has fast development cycles, or a million other things, and happily choose that over software that is fast.

People want software that is fast, slow (and bloated) software frustrates normal people, they just can't articulate it or identify the correct source of their frustrations. As I said in another post just yesterday, you'll often hear people say everything from "god I hate Microsoft" to "i think I need a new machine" to "I might have a virus". Once you dig into the problem it's often just a particular app (or bloated website) that is slow, or something else on the machine eating up way to much RAM and causing everything to swap.

I'd love to run an experiment where group A has native apps written in a low level language and group B has entirely electron based ones. I'd bet my house that group B has a hell of a lot more general complaints.
I agree C++ and Java are verbose, yet COBOL is at least an order of magnitude more verbose, since it lacks many abstractions. I have programmed in C++ and Java, and I admit I have not programmed in COBOL, but I migrated COBOL data files to databases and it was a PITA.
Not necessarily, for example we'd measure escape velocity from our system as starting from Earth, so effectively we'd be 1 AU above Sun's surface.
I think there are reasons to expect diminishing returns in the very long run (such as exhausting the search space), but they are not inevitable, at least in the short run.

If you model technological invention as combinations of more fundamental technologies, then as your stock of technologies grows, the number of new combinations should grow exponentially.

The exponential growth predicted by this model is consistent with the increasing rates of growth from the 1700s through the 1900s.

That said, I agree it seems that technological innovation (or at least its impact) is slowing. The difference in life between 1870 and 1920 seems to me to be much bigger than the difference in life between 1970 and 2020. In our fifty years, we made tremendous progress in information technology. In their fifty years, they made tremendous progress with electricity, engines, plumbing, chemicals, & radio.

Peter Thiel's emphasis is that this stagnation is coming from overregulation. My own emphasis is that we figured out what seem to be the main laws of physics by the 1930s, developed the Standard Model in the 60s and 70s, and every fundamental physics discovery since then has been an evolutionary tweak, not a disruptive re-architecting. (I'm overgeneralizing, of course, but I think the idea stands.)

I can give a very small sample of data. Uber is $30-33 to my suburb on a Thursday night. I even had a $28 once which is ludicrous (I calculated the theoretical minimum cost of the route to be around $27.50 so it was almost a perfect run).

I've caught taxis on the exact same route twice because my phone was dead and I couldn't order an Uber. One was $48 and the other was $55. I believe it's more on a Friday or Saturday (they have some 'off-peak' fee or something), but Uber obviously has the occasional surge on those nights too.

Using Taxis, in Melbourne at least, seems to be lighting money on fire.
> The nonviolent crime charges leading to a life sentence is part of it.

Conspiracy charges where the overt acts charged include murder for hire (even if murder for hire isn't separately charged) is not really a nonviolent crime charge.
