Unless there is an exoplanet comparable to Earth that we can reach, your analogy is akin to calling a floppy disk (Mars) an adequate backup for a server (Earth) with petabytes of data. Colonizing Mars for an extinction event would be a data retrieval endeavor

Thank you. Yes, well, from the CS people I usually just get blank stares. "What did you say, you prefer Fortran"? I feel like there's a big divide between engineering and CS. The latter would rather never care about anything to do with hardware. IMO the real innovation usually comes at the intersection of hardware and software - like the recent boom of neural nets. Those things are known since the 80ies and then promptly dropped because the hardware wasn't ready, until someone 30 years later took the time to make a good CUDA library and make
it work fast enough to be useable. Meanwhile the CS community focuses on adding more abstractions until no-one can figure out the hardware implementation anymore. Sorry for the grumpyness, guess my mood isn't the best today...
Yep. For them it's not immediately obvious if the cost of a website will help in generating more business.

The amazing thing to me is that my 10 and 8 year old nephews have a PSVR, and Xbox, and an iPad, and all they want to do is play the iPad. They use the Xbox sometimes, and the PSVR collects dust. It seems nowadays low friction is the killer feature.
I'd be super concerned about using Baidu and Netease. If the marketing materials aren't translated into English, then it's a near certainty that support for English speaking customers will be subpar.

That said, I'm curious about demand/non-SaaS-oriented use of these computing platforms.
How do you define widespread adoption? When adding all the current gen VR systems together we're already over 10M units sold.

Very interesting! OP if you are the developer of this, I have a few questions:

1) Did you consult with any legal entities when creating this? Is there any risk of creating legal jeopardy for people by inferring that they could use a utility like this to create a legally-sound privacy policy without consulting a lawyer?

2) What consumers currently exist for machine output of privacy policies? I can imagine a standardized machine-readable JSON file on all sites (a la sitemap.xml) could be useful for browser utilities to forewarn you about present or absent tenets of a site's privacy policy.

3) Have you considered using something like this as a boilerplate utility for actual lawyers to improve their throughput for creating privacy policies?

4) Have you considered a similar utility for site terms of service? Is the problem different in magnitude?

5) Are privacy policies legally onerous if you do them in multiple languages? Seems like translation arbitrage would be disadvantageous.
During the last administration, we had a fake 'shovel-ready' infrastructure program to boost economic growth. I say fake, because mostly very-visible PR projects such as changes to roads and parks got funded. Not real infrastructure such as sewer plants, under-street pumping stations, painting the underside of bridges and other invisible but essential projects that have been 'shovel-ready' for a decade but still undone.

Biggest waste of public funds in a generation. And mostly used to build further infrastructure such as roads, burdening the maintenance budget even more. Instead of helping.

Well, there's certainly not as much hype anymore as there may have been a couple years ago, but I wouldn't really say it's "fizzled out". New games are coming out all the time (e.g. Robo Recall, Echo Arena), new hardware is being developed (version 2 of the lighthouse trackers, Valve's knuckle controllers, new headsets from LG, etc.), and we're finally starting to get to the point where there are a lot of games available for VR that are more than just tech demos. The ecosystem is still very much alive.

The doctor probably is saving himself a lot of headaches. I work with programming for many years, but computers are not made for regular people. This is a myth. Many times I have to save my wife about something strange happening in her computer, a WiFi printer not connecting, some virus suck in and showing popups, screen freezing, internet is not connecting, and this goes on and on, almost every day. Man I hate Windows. At least when I solve the problem I can come back to my solid Ubuntu. Wait, one update arrived. Oh god now my keyboard is not working anymore. I hate computing.
I'd say we'd have to wait for generation two before giving up on it. Cheaper, lighter, higher resolution, etc.
From the video, it looks like it is loading a BASIC program and then running it. So the term "program" is a better description to this rather than "app" or even "application program" which (to me at least) implies something precompiled and ready to run.

I don't know what the timeframe is but, yeah, it probably needs to get to untethered few hundred dollar with better video quality range. At that point it's pretty much a no-brainer for anyone who doesn't have motion sickness problems with it. At which point, volume drives content like virtual tourism that gets beyond hardcore gaming.

AR is probably more interesting in the long-term although that will have to navigate through the glass-hole problem among other things.

Come on, internet is not made for cats.
PowerPC (and POWER) has reasonable hardware support for unaligned memory access, at least for 32-bit data, and if the data is in the data cache. Depending on the processor, the exceptions that reach the OS can be more or less frequent.

ARM v6-A and later (except for some microcontrollers, like Cortex M0/R0, that don't support hardware unaligned access at all, triggering a exception) is similar to the Intel x86 case (reference in transparent unaligned memory access -except for SIMD, where x86 can raise exceptions, too, in the case of unaligned load/store opcodes-), where there is hardware support for unaligned memory access.

For software that uses intensive non-aligned data access, e.g. data compression algorithms doing string search, PowerPC, ARM v6-A (and later ARM Application processors), new MIPS with HW support for unaligned memory access, and Intel are pretty much the same (i.e. b = * (uint32_t * )(a + 23) will take 1-2 cycles, not requiring doing a memcpy(&b, a + 23, sizeof(uint32_t))).

For SIMD, though, there is no transparent fix, although there are specific opcodes for aligned and unaligned memory access (e.g. load/store, unaligned load/store).

This is something I want to believe, but history shows us that scientific progress often comes with the loss of traditional, magical views of the Self and of the universe which are taken for granted: Newton "unweaved the rainbow", Darwin showed us that we are quite close to monkeys, and so on. If AI reaches a point where it can mimic great art, it will be a shock to humanity similar to when we discovered that humans are only a minuscule part of time and space.
This a false equivalence. The internet was designed from ground up to be borderless and untrammeled. Free trade was an initiative to tear down barriers around trade. The US government never had to request any other government to link up to the internet which is why their involvement in Google was not necessary.

Otoh, if you look at an state visit, every head of state brings along a trade delegation whose goal is to ease trade.
.app was rarely used though. Most things used the .prg extension.
As my sibling commentor says, they're the default. There are some details though:

Rust uses glibc by default, which must be dynamically linked. It's usually the only thing that's dynamic about Rust binaries, but it does mean that compiling on on old CentOS box is a decent idea if you want a wide range of compatibility.

Alternatively, you can use MUSL, which works like this:

$ rustup target add x86_64-unknown-linux-musl
$ cargo build --target=x86_64-unknown-linux-musl

Boom, now libc is statically linked too.

The default is that all Rust code is statically linked, but since you may link C code as well, that may or may not be statically linked. It's done by packages, so there's no real default. Many of them default to static and provide the option of dynamic.

That's why there's not really a guide, that's really all there is to it.
I think by "hard" he means "might not achieve it". But they actually already exist, so they're automatically possible.

Good point. I bump the ranks of the free books slightly to adjust for that. Similarly, for books that have multiple editions, I make some adjustments to avoid penalizing these books for fragmentation.
Bitcoin is the most popular currency that no one can take from you (as in Greece), that you can carry in your mind (brain wallets), that is deflationary instead of inflationary. It is censorship-resistant currency. Bitcoin weighs nothing. Unlike other currency, it is not subject to the whims and monetary policy of a government regime. Fiat can be taken, transfers blocked, accounts closed, administratively lost.

Bitcoin is the "World Wide Ledger" for the World Wide Web.

If you're an employer in Canada, you just get together with your buddies, call up your local government official and "convince" him to launch a program where hundreds of thousands of minimum wage "Temporary" Foreign Workers (TFW's) are imported to fill the gap.

And if you're a jealous high employer of skilled personnel, you just do the same, and legislation has just recently been passed so skilled workers can now be imported just like TFW's.

Now, there will never be full employment across most of the job spectrum so salaries will never have to rise. Add in a top 3 in the world unaffordable housing market, and this is how you eliminate a middle class.
I really wanted this to include time spent working.
Yes. I was a hardcore fanboy, bought the DK2, had both Rift and Vive preorders on day one. Spent months making my own games and VR experiments in Unity. However I just sold all of my headsets last month.

Theres been a lot of amazing stuff to come out of this generation of VR. But as hard as the software devs try, you simply can't get past the fact that the hardware isn't ready for primetime yet.

The clunky controllers, the wires, the sensors. We need full wireless, full FOV, and at least double the pixel density/resolution with a control scheme that uses finger tracking lightweight gloves.

Th current gen of tech is really mindblowing at first, and it certainly has incredible potential. But until then VR will unfortunately remain a niche toy like HOTAS controllers.

It is not even the first time this happen. There was something fitting this description starting the Neolithic, that people are not sure what exactly it was. There was writing and the big civilizations that happened through it. And there's the scientific/industrial revolution that we can argue endlessly if it is or isn't just a part of what is happening now (but falls just outside of your timeframe).

I don't think we have any issues like that as a species, as a species we are pretty much thriving. That growth might not be built on the most sustainable principles, but we are slowly getting there.

Short of something super apocalyptic ruining the whole planet for most life (like a big asteroid hitting us), I don't see humanity eradicating itself completely anytime soon, we are quite a sturdy bunch.

We've had plenty enough time trying to do that, maybe it's time to try a different exercise with more constraints to motivate creativity? Mars could be exactly that.
Great work. I was thinking of a service using autossh and assigned names would be nice for raspberry pi users that don't know networking. Forward sshd also, and help them setup apache with mod_python... and on and on.

What's the configuration with the SSL? The cert DN name didn't match my assigned sub-domain and it wasn't a wildcard, so how did you make that work? I saw it's from Lets Encrypt, but it seemed instantly setup, so you're not requesting a new cert for each sub-domain, right?
In some cases maybe that's the trigger point where it makes it worthwhile to buy the products overseas (free shipping!) and deal with the uncertainty of when you'll receive it.

The current system sometimes seems designed to fail.
If that's true then you might not benefit from generics directly. But you will benefit from having an ecosystem of libraries that take advantage of generics. And even if you don't use other people's libraries, not everyone in the world happens to be as lucky as you and they do need generics to make their lives easier.

But again, I still severely doubt you've never run into a problem with Go's lack of generics. I ran into it after about 3 months of working with Go. Maybe you didn't find the work-arounds problematic, but that doesn't mean that the original limitation (no generics) doesn't cause problems. You just choose to accept the work-arounds as the "right way" of doing things.

If you haven't already, I would recommend looking at Rust or another modern language that has generics to see what sort of benefits you can get out of it that you can't directly get with Go. Personally the fact that if T implements an interface I won't let you use []T as []I is pretty silly IMO. Rust lets you do that with the From trait, and you can even do it even more generically with the From trait using a generic T.
The key to success is to follow-up on cold calls. The first call is to establish the relationship and let them know who you are as well as you learning more about them. Figure out how you can help them (potentially for free) to build that trust. It's our human nature to be skeptical about being approached and we immediately go into self-defense mode.

This is pointless, people are not buying VR because there is nothing there they really want to use it for, not because it costs too much. A gaming rig to run it will cost you more.
Indeed, the hype train is always miles ahead of reality.
Oh yes, a thousand times Yes. The entire job of embedded engineers is to work around flaws in large SOC/SOM designs. The errata sheets are many pages of one-line descriptions. The tools barely work, any provided 'drivers' from the manufacturer are little more than proof-of-concept, and none of the advanced features work well/at all.

It doesn't seem smart to use machine translation for anything legal related. I wonder if this kind of tool can get one in trouble. For example, a mistranslation causes the privacy policy to mean something else than intended.
Consider a simple online booking system, backed with google calendar or speaks ical. Importantly, something that lets their customers pick a time slot, send reminders, etc.

A number of healthcare providers locally do something similar; benefit to the vet is lower admin costs (answering phone etc), potential of online payment to secure the consult, and easy ways to reach their customers for follow up (vaccination reminders for example could be triggered by adding people into a mailing list package, email details gained at time of original booking).

Those are harder to build, but offer clear value and ongoing revenue ($1/booking fee x 5 vets x a year starts to make it look attractive!)
I think this needs a bit more motivation (why do I want to know about BDDs) and more pictures. The code is great for playing with things and remembering better but the fundamental concepts would be clearer with more pictures.
These articles are great, but they really need to focus on useful ratios and free cash flow rather than talking about revenue.
The most obvious answer seems to be that the workforce keeps growing relative to the demand for that work. Wage stagnation began at the same time the number of women in the workplace started to grow. While a corresponding increase in demand with the supply of workers would have kept incomes moving upward, women were actually already consumers. They had to eat, be sheltered and clothed, etc. even when men made up the vast majority of the workforce.

The rate of the growing female workforce itself started to stagnant around the 90s and 2000s, but a new worker had fully emerged on the scene by that point: The robot. It's a slight misconception that robots eliminate jobs. In reality, they compete for them just like people do. They are another worker in the supply of workers. And while robots bring new demand, as they didn't exist before, it is not proportional to what they can create like with humans.

And so, increasing supply over the rate of what increases to demand exist, and you get downward price pressure.

Yes, or you will have no one to buy this things from you when everyone will automate everything, then most people would have no job.

System works now because some of the money goes to middle and lower classes, not all is accumulated on the top. If you accumulate all the wealth in the top without any mechanism of distributing it in lower classes then whole system will collapse and you (as someone on top) will probably end up like in other revolutions in human history, hanging up from the tree.
