Alternatively, you can automate this with triggers, where the client only needs to know about the entity table, but all updates to an entity cause the previous value to be inserted into another table entity_log. We do this and it works well for us.
In speed yes, in terms of continuous parallel computing power at low energy levels, technology hasn't come even close. In terms of sensory input and processing, not even close.

I find it amusing that there is much hype about computer systems beating humans in very specialised areas, such as go and chess.

But the missing piece here is that the human is still doing this while continuously processing all the sensory input that is occurring to that human, dealing with so much more than what the computer system is dealing with. The computer system is dealing with one and only one subject matter at a speed many magnitudes faster and is only just getting ahead.

The transition to Electric vehicles is progressively happening already, it's not like nobody is working on it. There are still numerous problems with electric cars that won't be solved in any reasonable timeframe unless there are major breakthroughs. So a "ban" is easy to do, but it does not make the technical challenges go away by itself.
I am not aware of any content that got ditched because of this. I imagine only a Netflix admin type person from back then would know something like this.

They only have to provide it, if it originally had captions. They didn't have to caption stuff that never had captions to begin with, but they went ahead and captioned everything, pretty much, and if you look at their new self-created shows, they are typically multi-lingual(multiple voiced languages) and multi-captioned (multiple written languages).

I would say, it forced them to deal with becoming a global provider and not US/English centric like they were, which I think we can say has been good to their business overall :)

What are some interesting or cool startups that are flying under the radar?
I'm planning to do something similar, but mostly to alert me that someone is looking for me at my desk at work. The ESP8266 would connect to our Guest WiFi and sent a request to IFTTT, which would in turn either send me a notification on my phone, or change my blink(1) light to a different color.
Yep, it does. If you are ready to give one month of your life to understand "perfectoid spaces", that might be a wise choice, you can only really tell once you've done it, because there doesn't seem to be an upfront way of knowing what you are going to get out of it. On the other hand, I am currently investing two weeks into learning "geometric algebra" because I found a book that tells me in its introduction why it's worth for me to learn it.
No piece of equipment that will be used on a farm deserves more than the bare minimum of sensors.
Superior hardware is not why people buy Apple products. The reason why it's hard to copy the iPod and iPhone is because it's hard to replicate the Apple brand. That's why there exists a lot of products that have the same functionality but not the same market revenue.
MIT – Augmented Reality on Your Desk–All You Need Is a Lightbulb Socket
The term "weed" feels pretty outdated at this point. People consider many beneficial plants to be weeds just because they didn't put them there. For example, people remove clover, a wonderful nitrogen fixer, from their lawns in order to maintain their unsustainable monoculture of nonnative grass. Is a weed-killing robot solving the right problem? Modern agriculture works against nature rather than with it.
You can. We have a complete reductionist account for how computers work. We know there's no magic. We don't have such an account for the human brain, and it's hard to see how any explanation of brain function could account for consciousness (i.e. subjective experience). The most likely explanation in my opinion is that consciousness is a fundamental property of the universe that our minds have evolved to tap into.
"Unparalleled productivity" sounds like hyperbole, especially considering the posts below, showing how exactly the same thing can be done trivially in Postgres.

Do you have an example?
Well two is a good optimization: it gives you a portable opposition point (with one arm you spend a lot of time pushing something against a wall or something like that -- try living with your arm in a cast) vs needing enough musculature to make the arms worth operating yet not make it heavy.

Plus there's a path dependency issue (the world is set up with chair backs, shirts, whatever assuming bilateral symmetry). But evolutionarily (reimagining the evolution of humans rather than adding an auxiliary arm) the path dependency is not meaningful.

The model that predicts your lifespan predicts people with more and less life, with varying probability. It actually does have predictive power for your lifespan, but it does so in a probabilistic way.

The idea that a distribution doesn't have power because it is a distribution is a bizarre opinion to encounter in a community that prides itself on education, computer science, business acumen, machine learning, and informed decision making.
Wasn't the iPod successful because you could get music online legally and easily for it?

Memory is hazy, but I seem to recall that without the iTunes store/application you had to either mess around ripping CDs, or use illegal downloads.

The one hardware innovation the iPod had was to use the teeny hard drives just coming on to the market at the time, when everyone else was using flash. Flash was the right solution ultimately, but for a while the HD worked around the problem that Flash was too small for a decent set of songs. Reputedly Jobs decided to take most of the volume supply of the small drives initially, preventing copycats from executing.
That's a hell of a bubble the author is in. Good thing he's not talking politics.

ICEs aren't going anywhere for a very long time. Their market share will certainly be reduced for ground transportation but electric power isn't making nearly as much progress in marine or aviation applications. Liquid field are simply too convenient, especially in remote areas. I know city folk sometimes like to forget that everyone else exists but gas/diesel off highway vehicles aren't getting replaced very soon. The service life of a big piece of equipment (e.g. a front end loader) is measured in decades. Even if a silver bullet comes along it will take a long time for everything else to age out. Secondly, standby generators are everywhere. Those aren't being replaced with batteries anytime soon for obvious reasons. Oil is refined for use in plastics, lubricants and a laundry list of other things that are indefensible to modern civilization. Sure, transportation is a big slice of the market for oil and it's going to get smaller but it's not the only slice. Finally, while the first world may adopt electric power soon, other nations will be slower. If the Keystone pipeline isn't carrying crude that will be refined and sold in the US it will be carrying crude that will be refined and sold elsewhere.

This is wishful thinking, nothing more.

I don't have stock in an oil company or anything, the author's claims are just a little too ridiculous for me to ignore.

Eight colour palette guidelines for design
>What causes this difference? First of all, the brain is a specialized computer, so to speak, while systems like TaihuLight and TSUBAME3.0 are much more general-purpose machines, capable of tackling a wide variety of problems.

That's why digital computers have so far been so much more successful than analog computers. While analog computers may have the potential to be "better", they'd require massive global hardware and software changes to become the next big thing. People are lazy, and there's no way they'd want to port everything over to a completely different paradigm just for better energy efficiency and speed.
Some interesting takeaways further down in the OP's answers:

- Has "zero" web dev experience; everything is built on Wordpress and plugins.

- Gets "a couple hundred thousand PV/mo"

- He picked an broad niche that he himself doesn't particularly care about.

- Amazon's change to their commission rates last month hurt his income by about 25-30%

I found this part amusing:

> I filled my site with a few dozen high quality pieces of content, then started outreaching to other bloggers in my niche, either asking for a guest post or asking them to check out a piece of content/infographic I just created and asking them if they'd "share" (link) it with their audience (aka the skyscraper technique).

I get these goddamned emails every week, sometimes a dozen from the same person asking me to mention their blog post about SQL because I happen to have a page that ranks fairly high for some general SQL info apparently. Never thought the SEO actually paid off (these request emails look like they're generated from a template that can be easily automated(.
The company I work for does this :) We use cellular & network connections to do remote monitoring of tanks. It can be very valuable service for fuel delivery companies, since they can fill up on an as needed basis rather than driving out to a location only to find they only need to top up 5% of the tank.

This looks like it would be fine for a homeowner that wants a garden but doesn't like to weed. But looking at it from the commercial standpoint it doesn't make much financial sense.

You'd need to spend nearly $109,000 per acre and that is a pretty small vegetable commercial farm. In fact ten acres would probably be the minimum for one family to make a living and you'd spend over a $1 million!

You can hire a whole lots of high school kids every year for a whole lot less money. Doesn't mean it isn't cool technology, but then again so is a $450,000 Ford GT.

Still believe that commercial herbicides will soon be an endangered species. Didn't get many farmers to agree with me twenty years ago but maybe more would now.

I say this with as much compassion as possible (though it's going to be hard to sound that way over the Internet). A lot of those aggravations are more perceived than actual, thanks to the mental illness itself. You could say "how's it going, buddy" to a depressed and a non-depressed person, and the non-depressed person could see it as a genuine and caring remark and the depressed person could see it as sarcastic or uncaring or whatever. A depressed person could see someone cutting lanes as a jerk, a non-depressed person may see them as in a rush and busy.

Depression is something that colors the entire world dark and gray. It turns a bunch of normal remarks into thousands of little papercuts. No one is right or wrong here, but for a depressed person, understanding how depression colors the world can be useful.
Computer vision uncovers predictors of physical urban change
Not what you asked exactly, but response to drugs sometimes leads to an (objective) differential diagnosis: if someone is depressed and flips out in a manic attack when starting antidepressants... that's not Major Depressive, that's Bipolar.

How do you objectively verify "manic"? You can track hours slept. No one fakes sleeping two hours a day for a month while having, say, good motor skills in the daytime.

This matters because recurring brief hospitalization is necessary for some people to get back on their axis. This is NOT "sanity days" or "mental healing", it's a clear cut medical issue.
I tried to do this once with Theano, and found that the latency of the roundtrip to GPU and back made it not worthwhile for a single image. Maybe a batch of images at once would make it worthwhile. And this isn't what theano is intended for, admittedly - custom CUDA might do a better job.
Just the other day I was looking for a good running-hydration-backpack and Googling for that brought up a bevy of sites that used round-up lists of Amazon affiliate links. The content was relatively well-written, if bland. In the end, these listicles were too bland to be helpful and I ended up adding "site:reddit.com" to my query.
Why would it involve extra DNS queries? Why wouldn't the SRV record come back as part of the original response to the host-name resolution request?
> I didn't imply it. I said it is irrelevant. No one cares if you being an asshole is due to your depression or you just being you. The impact on the business is the same either way.

I care.

> Right, obviously this is a very emotional topic for you. I think you will find that I probably have lived this situation more than you realize,

I am very sorry if you had terrible experiences, but they don't change that what you're saying is that a medical condition is an objective and valid thing to discriminate upon. There is a somewhat obscure word for this: "ableism."

> I said make sure it's not known you received said treatment, as your career in many managerial/executive fields is now over. Again, you can hate that statement all you want - but I'm telling a truth from my personal experience. I made no illusions as to me wanting this to be the case? Where did you get that?

Stop being a willing tool of people that want to make this so. What you're describing is not "the way things are." It's "the way you're helping to make them." We are this industry now. We can remake it as we see fit.

Wow. Much of this I knew but one thing that shocked me is that the 10th percentile of wealth in this country is a family with NEGATIVE $2000. If you were dropped into Nebraska from a meteor with nothing in your pocket you wouldn't even be in the bottom tenth.

_Someone could loose a laptop..._

Your overall point is valid, but employee losing a laptop is a much narrower problem to solve for: set JAMF policies that enforce full-disk encryption and reasonably strong passwords, write off any machines that are lost/stolen. Figuring out employee trust models is a much broader/harder problem.
What’s Next for Gitlab CI: Auto DevOps
Because tiny changes can have major effects, for example, if you use templating (or Java annotation processing) and change a template that’s used everywhere.

The IDE has to always stay responsive, no matter what is happening, no matter how large the change is.
Conceptually that is fine but there are complications (speaking based on recent and ongoing experience on a project I'm working on):

1. When you have multiple entity tables that are inter-related, snapshotting one in isolation is not sufficient.

2. When only certain changes on certain fields should result in a new snapshot.

Granted, both of these are solvable with built-in Postgres mechanisms (and a bit of co-operation from the application server) but simple it is not.

In our case we also move historic records to a second 'history' table.

I imagine once this is made to fit into the row spacing of commercial row-crops, and purchased at scale, larger operations would be able to deploy these at a cost competitive with herbicide applications. And once it gets even within an order of magnitude of traditional herbicides, the implications for organic crops could be huge!

To my eyes, what "the law" is is actually immaterial to the story's point. It's something the protagonist desperately desires, and the story is about how he goes about trying to attain that desire and what stands in his way. That's the important part.
What about hardware that doesn't so directly rely on an information network, such as sous vide (Anova was recently acquired [0]) and appliances like the Roomba? e.g. I'm sure Google engineers could eventually design a great sous vide, but not much about a sous vide does is amplified by the Google ecosystem. I suppose those kinds of things, as useful and coveted as they are by their fans, could reach elite status in their niche markets, but the highest potential valuation would be too small beans for some VC.

How Courage and Vulnerability Can Help You Trade Better
As a complete outsider, my sense is that things like under costing are partially the result of modern tear-down cost estimates. Where you get a new phone, open it up, and write an article that the $700 msrp iPhone "only costs $135 to build!". No mention of scale to get those component costs, labor cost to assemble, labor cost to design, lengthy prototype phases to idepedently test new ideas and then integration test... just cost of parts. It would be like costing a cloud startup from idea to product solely based on your expected AWS charges.

> and good luck making marketing material that excludes people that want to give you money.

You're completely missing my point. Web pages are the way they are because they pull eyeballs. You are a single data point. You don't like slick webpages? Fine, you're an outlier. There are people out there that don't go online at all. They're also an outlier. You each find niches to cater to you, but you're not the majority case, and if you're interested in eyeballs for whatever reason, then dealing with the majority case is in your interests.

It's not just marketing either. Compare Arch's wiki (simple Mediawiki) to Debian's. Mediawiki is more complex than Debian's simple pages, yet it is far more readable. Even as 'just a tool, not marketing'[1], this heavier webpage is a better webpage.

I would say:

Amazon is putting large ads on the amazon.com homepage for it's products. I don't think if a startup had build exactly the same product they would have been succesful.

Apple had Steve Jobs, who had both a great vision and a cult of personality that made people buy apple products. Apple didn't have another major successful new product since Steve passed.

Google doesn't really have that many successful hardware products, except maybe Chromecast (which benefits integrations with youtube, chrome, etc.), Pixel (which benefited from good timing, the biggest competitor had to recall their flagship phone) and Home (which has less market share than alexa and benefits from Google's NLP technogloy).

Redis vs. MongoDB Comparison
Expecting kids to wisely abstain when their brains aren't fully developed yet and their bodies are telling them that having sex is the most important thing they could possibly do is foolish. Giving them ready access to contraception and sex ed so they don't harm themselves or others is easy and effective, and there's no good reason not to do it.

You are looking at a problem with a simple and well-understood solution, and instead of talking about implementation you're going "Tsk, tsk, it's their own fault for being stupid." So, yes, you're absolutely moralizing.

> it's not some arbitrary religious code.

Giving teenagers worthless abstinence education instead of proven sex ed is the definition of an arbitrary religious code.
