I use Apple Maps for 99% of my needs. I only use it as a driving aid and don't really care about cartographic accuracy. I prefer the directions Apple Maps give since they seem to use less complex routes. I really dislike how Google Maps will use tiny side roads that are impossible to find and exit, just because it's 1 minute faster. Most of the time, I lose that benefit because those side roads are not easy to navigate.
It's probably worth mentioning that Manna represents the dystopian path of development. The second half of the story is devoted to The Australia Project, a technologically-advanced utopia where people are free to pursue their own interests and everyone is able to live a life of luxury.
Genuine question: why is Bitcoin, for instance, not a currency? I understand it's obviously not a fiat currency, it's not backed by any state. Bitcoin is, though, in circulation, is convertible into numerous goods and services, or can be used to stockpile value. Bitcoin is extremely volatile but I don't think that precludes it from being a currency.
I don't think HipChat has ever been more expensive (or even the same price) as Slack.
I think it is worth noting that C is special in the sense that compared to other programming languages it is semantically low-level, pretty much on par with assembly. Which is why it offers less opportunity for automatic optimization than most of other languages do.

Therefore, just like with assembly, there is nothing too "unfortunate" about the language's design (including its "treatment of arrays"), and the fact that C has been, and still remains, highly popular is just the result of healthy competition, IMO.

There are a few little things that I wish were different (for example, I see the arrow symbol '->' as noisy and unnecessary - the simple period '.' would work with pointers just as well; also, the "semicolon cancer"...), but the language seems to be pretty usable the way it is.

Perhaps we just need to stop being dangerous to other species and ourselves. Embracing the pursuit of collective goals would be a huge advance in our civilization level. Beyond that point athough less developed we could be accepted for not being harmful anymore.
Apple should sell non-TouchBar versions of everything for Touchbar prices. Users can get what they like and Apple can make more money off Fn keys.
I've been paying attention to functional for the last 6 or so months and coming from a C background, its emphasis on immutability, data-oriented, readability, and safeness is really attractive if you're not worried about performance (which is allowed to take a back seat in most apps these days). I can't wait for software to be improved harboring the benefits of functional programming.
It is a lot easier to tune into nature when you aren't inundated with WiFi signals, radio waves, lights, city noise, etc. Just go camping for a week without any devices to get a small sense of this.

The winds may blow leftward, but that's a far cry from a 1917-style workers uprising.

Some bad news: Bernie Sanders' support is substantially middle class. His policies are only very generously described as socialism at all, crucially he does not even begin to propose a fundamental break with private property or capitalism.

The rise of Bernie Sanders may be a nice development, and his hypothetical election might well bring benefits. But it's not going to be a workers revolution in any meaningful 20th century sense of the word.

Trump may be all that, but he was elected by appealing to the working class. Bernie Sanders has as much in common with you and I as a mouse has with a slightly smaller moose. Few of the revolutionary icons of the 20th century were themselves working class (Marx himself was remarkably posh). The important metric for a working class uprising is what the working class does (specifically, that it rises up), not the class background of the person they rise behind.
Which is why the engineer behind the original V8 went on to create Dart, one of the reasons behind it being that it's much easier to optimize.

Is anyone aware of: A free/cheap scheduling system that would allow health care providers to easily identify their specialty + blocks of time that they're available. Given that dataset, first responders in the field will need to be able to search and match patients with providers.

If the cost of ensuring that every person in the US has food, health care and housing is SpaceX, that's OK by me.

The advancements from SpaceX are certainly cool, and have likely dropped the price of many services I consume; but that extra bit of convenience is hardly worth leaving so many in society behind.

Not to mention, if everyone was not tied to selling their time/body/skills just to survive, what other advancements could arise?
Information management: Data domination
In terms of currency, the bitcoin has the same attributes (all you have listed) like any other asset. The Apple stock, for instance, classifies for a currency in the same way the BTC does.
The MacBook Pro with function keys has fewer than two Thunderbolt ports. There is no separate power.
FWIW, it isn't just not meaningfully privacy-preserving: it offers essentially no privacy preservation at all. There are 10 billion possible US phone numbers, and we know from Bitcoin that you can search that space in something like ten seconds on a typical PC. You also only have to do this once to construct a lookup table that would only take a terabyte to store and index, and then you could offer anyone instantaneous reverse lookup from truncated hash to phone number. It is essentially meaningless "privacy theater".
It's funny to me that everyone shits on Soylent and how obviously bad it is and yet needs a PhD to figure out if they should breastfeed instead of giving their newborn "formula". Have any of you looked at the ingredients in formula? It's garbage.
Interview with Ryan Dahl, Creator of Node.js
Based on the plethora of methods Microsoft has (intentionally) provided to bypass UAC I'd argue that it's the very definition of "security theater". UAC is nothing but a minor annoyance to attackers at this point. An extra step or two they have to add to their payload. Nothing more.

It's also trivial to escalate from a regular user to NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM (which is a higher privilege than Administrator!). There's so many privilege escalation vulnerabilities in Windows it's hard to keep track of them all! A big reason for that is that Microsoft considers privilege escalation vulnerabilities, "medium risk".
This isn't that strange - the concept he's touching on is part of why Montessori schools exist and are effective.

The extensive README is also a pretty good intro to how one can do crypto (as in cryptography: get off my lawn!) in Haskell using the excellent cryptonite library.

For those who won't click through to TFR:

> import Crypto.PubKey.ECC.ECDSA (sign, verify)
> import Crypto.PubKey.ECC.Generate (generate)
> import Crypto.PubKey.ECC.Types (getCurveByName, SEC_p256k1)

> let msg = "hello world" :: ByteString
> let secp256k1 = getCurveByName SEC_p256k1
> (pubKey, privKey) <- generate secp256k1
> sig <- sign privKey SHA3_256 msg
> verify SHA3_256 pubKey sig msg

Some of the chemo-synthesizing lifeforms around volcanic vents might be close.
So the rules given are Uniqueness, Legibility, Color/Contrast with a very simplistic description of each which I imagine reflects the rules used. That logo passes with flying colours according to their criteria, perhaps lower marks for legibility. Needless to say, there are more things to logo design than are dreamt of in this philosophy.

There's more about how they use deep learning here:

http://brandmark.io/intro/

but for me it seems the constraints they've chosen are ill-conceived (things like matching logo strength to font weight) and unlikely to come up with something inspiring or even decent a lot of the time or rank things well which humans would have no difficulty recognising. This is a difficult problem, and I wouldn't expect rules based solutions to work very well, though some kind of permutation engine starting from known good designs could work better.

It's one of the most expected outcomes. But still for the government to go ahead and do this was primarily two reasons:

1. PR:

The current Indian Govt was suffering from Beefgate and PM Modi was criticised for not making any comments on it but touring the world. While Modi was seemed to be an economic reformer, nothing of that sort happened until that. Hence this Demonetisation came up to showcase "PM Modi has done that no one would dare to do" headlines. It's also notable that the Prime Minister himself appeared on Media and announced this, while a right approach would be the man who signs on the currency: RBI Governor to do. A PR win it was!

2. Digitisation:

One of the big concerns with Digital Currency (a non-decentralised one) is that it's really really hard to be private anymore. We'd just end up as another data point in someone's table and that's exactly what happened. This was very well explained in the recent SAS Forum happened in Mumbai, India. Data Scientists of Income Tax dept wanted data for analysis but didn't have one and got what they wanted with Demonetisation.

So, that's obvious! A win-win for govt!
Does anyone else remember the keyboard overlays that were used in the 80s and 90s to help users remember keyboard shortcuts? That's what this idea reminded me of.
During the dot-com bubble the underlying technology was the internet. Today we take this as granted, but for the most this was something new and mind blowing in the late 90's.

I recommend Perry G Mehrling [Columbia], (free) course on coursera [1] called Economics of Money and Banking. It provides a great context for how the current monetary system works. This context helps a bunch when comparing it to crypto.

That's a gnome-terminal feature, not at the level of ZSH. There may be a css handle for lib-vte, but I'm not aware of that being an option otherwise. The KDE terminal emulator Konsole does support line spacing, opacity, and many other things gnome-terminal is missing.
The point of the person you are responding to essentially comes down to pidgeon hole principle (the best principle), and absolutely applies to a cryptographically random function, and is agnostic to the input distribution: it is a relative measure of information/entropy between two sets.

Why should avoiding going to crappy restaurants penalize me when reviewing great restaurants? You're kinda assuming that people are visiting restaurants at random, and should experience the full range of good and bad things, but that's not true, especially for people who rely on existing ratings a lot.
Yes, but if (it seems more like when) a collision happens in a situation like this, aren't we essentially saying someone is connected with someone they don't even know? I feel like detecting the collision takes more computation then just sending the whole hash right? I mean in consideration of the scale that Signal/WhatsApp/etc are with millions of phone numbers
I don't understand what you are implying here. Would you kindly tell us which political news story are those pesky russian hackers at wikileaks trying to cover up?
I know you are critiquing the study rather than making a general statement about the topic, but shouldn't we be challenging the effects of formula rather than the effect of a lack of breast milk? People are highly skeptical of Soylent, and I suggest they look at the ingredients of standard formula and consider the business interests involved before they decide to give it to a newborn. This study on breast feeding is a red herring.

> While I'm not a huge FOSS-head, there is a distinct difference between "_free_ and open source" and just "open source". It's all in the licensing

"Free Software" and "Open Source" mean pretty much the same as far as the practices, motions and licenses are concerned (but people insist there are huge differences in terms of philosophy). "Free and Open Source Software" is just a new-ish term that includes either team to stop the whining.

"Open Source" was a mostly unused term in the software licensing field before 1998 or the people at OSI who drafted the Open Source Definition likely would have gone for something else.

"Shared source" was introduced by Microsoft a couple years later and is a pretty descriptive term for those less liberal licenses (where sharing code happens outside the criteria of the OSD).

Why not just go with that instead of arguing why people should use a term to mean something different?
There was an effort to do just that, by Microsoft, to muddy the waters, before they settled on "shared source", which might be why you get those harsh responses.

What's the Celeron-based computer for?

I share the same sentiment as you regarding off-the-shelf external drives — I believe they're usually bottom-binned stuff. You could consider getting a 3.5" enclosure and installing a NAS-rated drive in it.
But transparent getters and setters can be used to emulate private or immutable properties:

function Foo() {
var _bar = 42;
return {
get bar() {
return _bar;
}
}
}

var foo = Foo();
foo.bar
/*
42
*/

However the fact that you can transparently replace a simple property by a computed one (e.g. for backwards compatibility or to trigger side effects in observables) does make explicit, Java-style, getters and setters less useful.
Etymologically, cuckhold used to refer to someone being cheated on without their knowledge and consent (and still has that meaning in the dictionary, though its usage is rather archaic now). Using it to refer to the fetish is somewhat more recent. Historically, it has been used as a derogatory term or insult in certain cultures and time periods. So their usage of it isn't exactly unprecedented, though it is odd that it's been latched on to as a generic insult. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuckold

You are talking about breastfeeding. The article talks about breast milk. In the case the distinction is not clear, many mothers use breast pumps.

>WHO can now say with full confidence that breastfeeding reduces child mortality and has health benefits that extend into adulthood. On a population basis, exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life is the recommended way of feeding infants, followed by continued breastfeeding with appropriate complementary foods for up to two years or beyond.

I agree that mindfulness apps can help people get into the habit or develop an interest.

What I personally take issue with is the idea that mindfulness and enlightenment can be boiled down to 10 min intervals without even having to remove your earbuds.

I'm glad more and more people are getting into mediation and seeing the benefits, I just hope that developing mindfulness as a skill doesn't get lost in the app-of-month trends.
