Because over the long run policies adopted by your country should be scoped to help the members of your country. If politicians/corporations can make a decision that harms our young, and then dig us out by saying there should be a fair playing ground with foreigners, then the consequences of those decisions are externalized.

>In other words, I think I can understand the views I'm criticizing.

No, you've missed the very simplest critique of the US immigration system: that it takes years to decades of effort and incredible, Kafkaesque arbitrary hoop-jumping to get an actual Green Card, let alone an American citizenship. The system is legible neither to its owners (Congress) nor to its users (immigrants and visitors).

We can talk about sending "temporary" immigrants home when we've stopped making "permanent" immigrants (those on immigrant-track visas) go through hell just to turn their visa into citizenship. Let's naturalize the people we already have living and working in the country, and then talk about reforming our system for granting further visas into a nice sensible points system.
Given that Safari on iOS is what set the demise of Flash into motion I don't think Apple will remain a staunch supporter :-)
The 3D printer repair one seemed like a straightforward small business. However it is a very small or local market - hobbyists tend to know how to fix them on their own and big businesses get support plans from manufacturers. Not impossible though.

The bloom app could be either improved or even pivoted. Quite promising, but unless it becomes a real business or is really the best of is class it can easily be cloned and undercut.

The "smart" watch of this kind litters the Kickstarter for example... and it is too nerdy to scale.

Others are random hacks. :)

Presumably you mean they could follow one another very closely.

Baseball is definitely up there; catching and pitching can be a lot of strain on knees/shoulders but for the most part it's safe long term.
Well, we're talking specifically about the USA's own policies for immigrants entering the USA and working. I have different opinions if we're talking about military and foreign policy.
Historians will look back at American Football as our analog to the Roman's gladiatorial games. A lot of people don't realize that during the Imperial era of Rome fights to the death had become uncommon.[0] The games were watched in an arena and primarily sold hard-hitting violence between members of the lower castes of society and sometimes people got killed or horribly maimed....sound familiar? I stopped watching American football last year once I could no longer consciously watch men destroy themselves for money and the amusement of a country that largely despises/fears them in any other setting.

I was just thinking about something like this over the weekend when I was working on my garden. Something I was not sure if you did consider was the blooming times. When I first moved into my house I did not have much of a garden. The previous owner did not really keep the garden up. The first year I had a mish mash of different plants. By year 3 I have everything almost figured out where I have different stuff starting to bloom as other plants are finishing.
Except that automation is entirely unique from what's happened in the past because it requires far fewer people to do those tasks. You're displacing industries where the target doesn't require nearly as many people as the source industry. I mean... even in the example that you give, with the car industry rising, we're already seeing fewer and fewer jobs as all the electricians (as an example) that were once hired were replaced by a single automated machine and that machine only requires a single person to service it (or maybe a handful, at most).

The issue is that your last statement is correct but vastly understated - the jobs affected will disappear, others will emerge to take their place, but not in the quantities necessary to keep the same percent of the population employed. Add to that the fact that the population and number of people requiring jobs is going to continue to increase and you're just cracking the tip of the iceberg.

I think we are in the process of re-appropriating the word actually. One of my best purchases this year was a roll of yellow tape with 'cyber' printed in black. It presumably provides great cyber defense if one covers a computer with it. And I think that is fantastic social commentary on the word.
You raise some good points with regard to happiness, although I don't think I said anything about happiness. I simply said better off.

As a Registered Armchair Psychologist, I'm not entirely convinced that our brains quickly adapt to unpleasantness. I've heard quite a few soldiers come back from tours of duty with quite the mental health issues, ditto victims of abuse, etc etc.

My argument, and I side with Deirdre McCloskey here, is that we, we in the modern liberal west, and some other developing countries, are better off by far than our peasant ancestors because we have more predictability in and more control over our lives precisely because we have the ability to start our own businesses, to innovate and bring new products to market, to be economically upwardly mobile, to buy better health insurance... shall I go on? Rather than half half our siblings die early from disease and war.

With regard to happiness, well I'll defer to the experts here and side with David Steindl-Rast who claims that in order to be happy on a more frequent / long term basis we ought to cultivate gratefulness[1]. And in that sense I'll agree with you in that, despite adverse conditions, some people do still manage to be happy for what they do have.

The trajectory of the income gap, the rising price of housing, and the erosion of purchasing power, I treat as a separate issue. Moving forward this certainly does look like it's going to rapidly become a problem. Perhaps.

Thats great. But why is this on hackernews ? Whats the relevance ? There is a single page linked to this.
I don't think they will, they'll turn off the news completely and follow "news" about other stuff instead. Sports, video games, hobbies, they'll ignore current events and politics or anything else they might find anxiety inducing.

That's what I do anyway, I'm much happier for it.
Bit extreme of a reaction to two severely flawed click-bait studies and relevant to that "fear as a product" article from yesterday.

Washington Post: 14 men participating in the study. Each was asked to perform a rotational header — redirecting the soccer ball — 20 consecutive times during 10-minute sessions.

tiny sample size + 20 consecutive headers in 10 minutes is astronomically rare occurrence in soccer, 3 headers in 10 minutes is incredibly rare. Even with this methodology they report *the alterations appeared to clear within 24 hours.

CNN: "Concussions in soccer mostly occur from player-to-player and player-to-ground contact. Heading is involved in only 15% to 25% of concussions in soccer, and most of those are a result of poorly executed headers where two players hit heads,"

So most concussions are from bumping heads, which is a possibility in any contact sport.

The JAMA data tables [1] also covered military service, with a high incidence of CTE there (5 mild, 45 severe). Both of the kicker/punters in the study also had mild CTE (did they kick with their heads?). Really leads to wonder about the prevalence in the general population, for sport and laborers at large, in addition to football players. The average years of play was 15.1, which is a really long time to play the sport.

The authors are playing to a theme here, rather than objectively reporting results.

The real problem is the amount of money and human life that are squandered on perceived "military problems" in the US. There are plenty of other hackathons to go to, IMO attending these events and accepting their material support is legitimizing US Department of Defense sponsored terrorism.

Still, based on what you're describing it was MySQL in your case that was the bottleneck. In that case you scale database, either by sharding or creating separate ones for different usecases. It is irrelevant to whether you use microservices or not.

> It certainly seems to help know they are listening, but it is worrying to have tension just because someone doesn't want to make eye contact.

It really helps communication for many people. People with limited hearing rely on some level of lip reading, in addition to just following body language.

Also, if you are maintaining eye contact, you are generally pointing your face at the other person, and that REALLY helps your voice get to their ears.

I don't really think of avoiding head injuries as being an example of reacting to "fear as a product". The fact is we know so little about what constitutes brain injury that we might as well err on the side of caution even if it seems a little extreme. There's a term for this "the precautionary principle": http://www.precautionaryprinciple.eu/
I and I am sure a good percentage of the internet population always struggle with articles like this. I don't have an ad blocker, don't have any 'ad-free' subscriptions to anything, yet I never click an ad while at the same time am not particularly bothered by them. They're just noise, and since they register as basically whitespace in my head, noise easily ignored.

I don't feel 'at war' when I go online, and even if my attention is 'captured', it certainly doesn't translate to any purchased products or revenue for the 'aggressors'.

That being said, I don't dismiss that it does occur: as Max Barry the author said, 'the industry is making multiple billions a year - that money comes from someone' (paraphrased). Just not from me.
Then how do people get there? Train? OK, then you have to plan how it interacts with the train network's traffic and schedules, duh.

Your reasoning applies equally to airports. Congrats, you just "debunked" the airplane! (duh!)

So even if you don't want them to, people can drive to near an entrance and park. There will be induced traffic

This is vacuous. There will always be induced traffic for such a project. But the kind of planning required for the kind produced by an airport is materially different from the kind produced by an entirely new highway. Also, if your new "airport" requires the construction of a new road in the future, this isn't as big a short term barrier as those around an entirely new major highway, and will be borne by the local government.

FWIW This also means you have to ban internal combustion engines

FWIW, I'm glad you finally caught up with my actual idea!

You don't even know what "all other" is, do you?

That's not relevant at this level. I don't have to know all the details of building a road to know that not building a road and flying a cargo will avoid those expenses and incur different ones. What is your point, here?

(Here's a hint, when discussing major infrastructure, don't automatically ascribe to others straw man positions of zero cost! That's not exactly a "charitable" reading.)

And I'm as ignorant as you, but

...a little soft in the reasoning. If digging costs are exponential with depth, then this would be an interesting point. I'm not sure if I should really credit that. Well, I guess one would deserve credit for bringing that to attention. So your comment makes, charitably, a "half point."
It's a completely different view of what the tab bar is.

To me, the tab bar is a working area. I don't keep stuff that is not immediately relevant to what I'm doing in the working area.

When you're soldering stuff, you don't want spatulas and eggs getting in your way. On the other hand, when you're cooking, you don't want solder to get mixed up with your food.

You don't. There's google for that :-)
That's definitely not what that phrasing means, and I find it hard to believe that it would have been accidentally overlooked in a PR piece like this. To me that means the likely explanations are that either it actually caused Macs to crash (which I seem to recall from experience it could, at least occasionally), or that Jobs is purposefully trying to shift OS instability blame to an application, which I think is possible. Or some combination thereof.

Personally tab bloat reeks of stemming from internet addiction and/or attention span issues. Would hazard a guess that this is the source of anti-tab sentiment.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Flash_animated_televis...

Tons of animators still use Flash, the tools are by far the best and easiest for making animated and interactive content. It used to also have an awesome publishing path, but Apple killed that off. All the animators I know still work with it, but record the flash animations as videos and post 'em on youtube.

Oh but Uber itself is a pretty big and ambitious idea past the single sentence description.
It also touches a basic need of transportation and is very ambitious.(trying to displace taxis everywhere)
Due to the scale of the idea, both creating and building Uber is a hard task. (Mostly because at small scale you have stiff competition - so it does not make sense asy small scale.)

For comparison, you could back of envelope analyse the market impact of, say, automated 2D floor and garden planning with AI. It is possible to undercut in a week in implementation and in seconds by a single guy with marketing and connections.
On the upside, it could be pivoted.
The main drawback is that it also does not make sense at a local level. (Unlike the 3D printer repair which might.)

It's silly to talk about a "nation's" wealth in the age of neoliberalism.

I had a friend from a very wealthy family in high school. The guy had like a dozen passports. He was a citizen of canada, britain, israel, US, and a bunch of other nations I forgot. His father was a lawyer who had business all over the place where he could shield income from other nations. Apparently, some countries don't report your earnings to the US and vice versa. Not only that, he was born in NY, went to high school in new york and yet his family rented a house in long island and owned a home in florida. Apparently, you get legal protection of your homes in florida that you don't in NY.

In other words, nations belong to the wealthy. The wealthy do not belong to nations. And the wealthy make the rules.
„shareability“ not from a users POV but from a creators POV: how can the videos I create reach an audience that hasn't seen them before.

This was also published not too long after Snow Leopard came out (August 2009), which is when Safari first split plugins out to a separate process, as long as you were running it in 64-bit mode. Before that it could bring down the whole browser, after it would only kill itself and require pages to be reloaded. So it's not like Apple wasn't doing anything about it.

Obviously a positive change in general, but the push to prioritize that and get it done must have been 99% aimed at problems caused by Flash.

And even after that was implemented, an ad crashing flash in one window would still bring down a video player in another, if I'm remembering right. Still a crappy user experience.
the idea that more is always better is the common misperception that i'm addressing. if you've ever tried to design a system with multiple, sometimes conflicting inputs, complexity is a real cost to think about (not to mention financial cost).

two sensors are often in a master-slave relationship to avoid conflicts, and as catbird mentioned, if you need peering redundancy, then three is much better than two (but that's not perfect either), so that there's essentially error correction built in.

machine learning is cool, but it's not a panacea. there are plenty of meticulously trained AI's that fail comically in novel situations (like the example in the original article). afaict, we still don't have a lot of knowledge around the boundary conditions of the machine learning systems themselves.
This is exactly why we shouldn't rely on closed standards and closed viewers: at some point they stop to exist, and there will be content out there that we can't view any longer.
Yes, it's unnerving that your security is bound up in your relationships with the people and groups around you, but this is the bedrock of every successful society. Anyway, my point isn't "why is private property scary?", it's "why are privately-owned parks uniquely scary?".

I was trying to get the Chrome team to understand this and implement a bookmark manager which took this into consideration. We have the compute power, the memory, and the understanding to build such a thing. Just a bookmark isn't useful. I want a snapshot of my mental map of how I got there, what it's about (auto summarization), other tabs I had open and their same histories, plus an easy way to pick that back up and dive in from that exact spot. I don't just want a saved session, but a place on a map of knowledge that I can jump back to. Then give me fuzzy search that can match the idea / meaning of something across these saves, so I can find it without remembering the URL or page title. Give me a topical timeline with a graph so I can see when I was thinking about something. The idea of a "bookmark" for a "page" on the web is cute and had a place in history, but we can do a lot better in 2017.
