Even non-flagships are fine. I've had an LG Stylo now for 2 years which I bought used a few months after it came out for $100. Signal, Firefox, Pandora, etc all run fine on it, it doesn't have connectivity problems like any of my friend's Nexus 5x or 6p phones have, and at this point its a sub-$50 phone, so if it breaks, no sweat!

Compared to the Galaxy S4 I had prior to it, this Stylo was definitely a big upgrade. No more SIM not found errors, band 12 support, better battery life, for less than a quarter of what I paid for my Galaxy S4.

Vivaldi has less powerful extensions than Firefox 57.

I can't imagine Waterfox or Pale Moon being able to keep XUL extensions alive for much longer. It was a major maintenance burden for Mozilla, so it's pretty much an impossible task for the comparatively tiny developer teams behind those.

Having said that, Firefox 52 ESR is still supported until June 26, 2018. So, you could use that. And the Waterfox + Pale Moon devs could base themselves on that until its EOL.

The throwaway culture that has come about with cellphones is both costly and really damaging to the environment. Poor software support, terrible "recycling" practices by carriers and OEMs, and purposeful defects to limit product lifespans.

Apple actually forces recyclers to shred old devices rather than allowing said hardware to be repaired or pulled apart for parts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F66BapDvpU8

This is usually not a problem because using globals and taking locks unnecessarily is unidiomatic Rust. You have to go out of your way to write more code when you use mutexes, so most people don't unless they truly need to.

We have experience with this. For a long time, WebRender rasterized glyphs and other resources sequentially. Switching it to parallelize was painless: Glenn just added a parallel for loop from Rayon and we got speedups.

Recently visited china and noticed that the people there behave really filthy. They eat their lunches on the go when walking in the city, and when they are done they just dump the styrofoam containers and leftovers right there in the street.
Then city workers collect them in huge stinky mounds waiting to be ferried of somewhere.
Apparently city living is such a new concept there that a sence of community hasn't evolved and everybody at least would try to take care of the common spaces.
That's a symptom of people not understanding the concept of complexity and falling victim to the law of leaky abstractions.

People don't work towards reducing complexity in large applications (which involves trimming dependencies, removing api surface area and minimizing interactions between different people's code, which is all hard), they work towards reducing complexity in simple toy applications (which is about cramming as many tools in until you can do exactly one specific thing in one short line and it looks nice).

That has the effect of reducing complexity at first glance, but increasing it in real world applications.

It's not exactly functional programming. It can be a traditional OOP, just structured in independent blocks, and you execute each block on different threads. But the block internally can have as much shared state as it wants.

You get the simplicity and familiarity of OOP and most of the benefits of multi-threading.
Another possibility is computing pools. If I remember correctly, something like this started happening (pools becoming too large) and they split.

Tim Teitelbaum, one of the first researchers on IDEs summarized problems like this in a quote from one of his papers.

"Programs are not text; they are hierarchical compositions of computational structures and should be edited, executed, and debugged in an environment that consistently acknowledges and reinforces this viewpoint."

It is unfortunate that most major code editors and IDEs today do not store units of code (like Lisp SEXPs) as databases to be updated as you edit, which would make problems like this or other operations like metaprogramming, formal analysis, or documentation much easier to solve.

What a cynical, defeatist attitude. The Internet is full of people, and you don't know who reads what. Everyone has to learn somewhere, to start from something.

Your logic essentially is, "No one can learn anything; their opinions are fixed," but that's obviously false, as we have all learned or else we would be unable to read and write and do everything else we do.

In fact, your posting your own comment contradicts your logic, as according to it, there's no point to saying what you said, since it can't change anyone's mind.
A small factor but a big one imo is that vue-cli is an infinitely tidier affair than create-react-app. It's very easy to get through your first few apps and tutorials with Vue because they're usually following the exact same base.

Vue DevTools (with Vuex support) is a much more pleasant experience than React/Redux Dev Tools as far as Chrome integration goes too.

There are at least two huge advantages of the decomposition by function approach compared to the black box solution space search approach:

- The former can be debugged. If your image analysis system embarrassingly tags black people as gorillas, you can go in and find the bug and fix it. That's not so easy if you're using a black box model.

- The black box approach is tremendously enervating. You code up a neural network architecture, launch a bunch of cloud GPU instances, and start training. If the results are bad... you try a new architecture. In the function decomposition world, you can actually use your knowledge and understanding of the system as an engineer to figure out what went wrong and why.
Anyone who doesn't take their glasses off and look at the total eclipse for a moment when the sun is completely covered, is missing out. It's a beautiful sight.

Caution is needed of course. Get ready to put those glasses back on any moment now!

Incredible hues and glow and the surrounding twilight. Can't see any of that with glasses on. At totality, sneak a peek with your naked eyes, it's fine.

Same for camera equipment, it's the setting up and pointing the camera at sun before the eclipse that does the damage. Keep lens cap on until last moment, then take off, and nothing will happen to camera. I've done it at two eclipse festivals, no clouds, didn't even use ND filter! Cameras and eyes fine.
One interesting way for secure identification is using local government-issued certificates. In Kazakhstan every citizen can request a digital certificate which is signed by a central authority. Many other countries use similar technologies. Those certificates could be used for identification.

But I believe that there are laws about storing people's information, so you might have to comply with that.
Vast tragedies throughout history were perpetrated by people who thought they knew better than everyone else, that their ends justified imposing their means on the rest of the human race.

Your attitude is dangerous, because you can use it to justify anything (e.g. you think you're about saving lives). It is evil, because it places you above everyone else and leads to death (e.g. you think you're saving civilization, which requires destroying the bad parts of it).

You either have not learned from history, or have learned the wrong lessons from it and are following in the footsteps of millennia of anti-heroes.
I am struggling to see how machine learning has any role in this.
The first ALPR systems were deployed in the late 1970s.

Fixed camera systems were rolled out in Australia in 2005...

So.. ALPR is not new. In 2012 there were multiple systems available. 86MUSD seems like a lot to adapt existing research or existing systems. Even if that includes acquiring/maintaining several vehicles.

Maybe the whole project is being mischaracterized. Perhaps it included requirements completely unrelated the ALPR (face recognition, driver identification? don't know...).

But with the information available, 86MUSD seems like a lot.
The big systematic problem the US is facing is that much of what you describe is heavily funded by the ability to print dollars to sustain the trade deficit - because the World needs dollars. In other words, the US is living above its means because the World is ready to give goods for paper (money).

That move from China is aimed at undermining this ability. I'm completely not rooting for the Chinese, but the risk is real. If they succeed, the US will need to cut internal consumption by 2.6%, which will hit heavily an already struggling middle class. Not a good prospect.

I'd say it's like celebrities advertising products all the time, and then being exposed to updates through social media under the implied context that it's relatively candid time.

Of course, social media can and usually is doctored, but influencer culture definitely takes celebrity product endorsement and plays it out to its logical conclusion.

The dust hasn't quite settled, but everyone using social media to stunt on others does affect the mental health of people who consistently use these platforms. I'd say that it negatively impacts culture because it promotes building these facades and advertising said facades.

4. If you want to change the format or chunk size, do it here. Otherwise hit 'Next'
5. Wait. This can take a few days if your google account is big.
6. You'll get an email with a link to one or more archives to download. All your stuff will be in there in open formats.
7. You can delete your google account (I think from https://myaccount.google.com/preferences?pli=1#deleteservice... ) but it won't delete info they have on you in their caches

Even with that you can see a phone getting slower over multiple iterations of ios.

As far as battery drain: i believe the usage pattern and how much time you invest in configuring your phone go a long way (did it for android, did it for ios. For example: background app refresh? Nope. Gps while not using the app? Nope. Look at battery usage over the day and see what kills your battery)

I'm not passing judgement on your personal ability to seek out counterarguments but more generally speaking this is exactly how echo chambers come about. People are generally only interested in news that confirms their pre-existing biases and will often cite the same arguments you make in defence of their echo chamber.

I'm not saying I don't sympathise with your approach as a persons time is only finite. But if you are interested in fact or even just balanced opinion then you do need to be aware of the bubble you're creating and be willing to question what you read / hear on any issues of importance.

First off, I wanted to thank you for such a well thought-out post. There's a lot of room for condescension in discussions about stuff as fuzzy as economics, especially as it relates to overtly political debates, and it was refreshing to see someone acknowledge the weak points (or at least the most debatable issues) of their position.

I'm curious about one assertion you made in particular:

>it is not easy to quantify the result into a mathematical model of moral social utility. Come up with such an objective, measurable metric and economists will start using it.

I agree that this is a hard problem, but I can't help thinking that we are already pretty close to at least being able to at least measure symptoms of an "immoral" economy -- like if we couldn't graph a function, but COULD graph its derivative.

I'm thinking of metrics we already have: overall distribution of wealth (and its change over time), inter-generational economic mobility, rates of poverty/hunger/homelessness, access to essential services, educational outcomes based on family income, you get the idea.

We know having money is a huge leg up, we know a child whose parents make $18,000 a year doesn't have the same chances (or even access to comparable education) as a child in an affluent family. I'm wandering off into other, more contentious debates, but my point is that there are plenty of metrics we already have that we can point to and say, "This is a bad sign. This is not a good number, and its badness is self-reinforcing and will only get worse." Just look at productivity: it's gone up consistently, year over year, for decades, and yet the real value of wages hasn't moved. SOMEONE is profiting off of that surplus value, but it certainly isn't the workers.

At that point, the arguments begin about how to fix those metrics, and we're back to square one, but I'd argue that there is plenty of evidence for people who want to make the case that the current incentives in American capitalism are unfair, if not unjust.
There's a bit more flexibility on this front with prepaid cards and loadable cards from banks. You can get Visa gift cards in the checkout aisle at most stores which work for most credit card requirements.

> So everyone agrees that's sane and normal and say putting their latest production release on a Windows 3.1 would not be a good idea. Why do we then do it with our programming environment?

Because people, convincing devs to adopt new ways is an uphill battle unless they have tried it themselves.

Joe Duffy's keynote at Rust Conf just went live, and one of the reasons of Midori's adoption failure was convincing Windows kernel devs of better ways of programming, in spite of them having Midori running in front of them.

>Law does not exist outside of interpretation. So I'm not very sure how a storage device would help.

You answer your own question with this line:

>You should read some "cases".

I assume you expect me to look these up on some digital storage medium.

>In any practical situation, you're not going to have all the facts

While true in the abstract, it's rather dishonest to apply this concept to the case in the article. Police departments won't send people totally nonversed in phlebotomy law to collect blood samples unless they are not doing their job correctly. If they are not doing their job correctly, they deserve reprimand and correction.

There's a reason that jurisdictions exist. It is to prevent those who have not studied the particulars of a subset of legal code to exercise power in the absence of comprehension of that subset.

Nuclear weapons are the greatest instruments of world peace ever conceived. Don't you think we'd have had another set of massive industrial total wars in the 20th century had it not been for MAD? As it is, we've had only a few occasional brush fires. There is practically zero risk of an actual nuclear exchange.

If you waved a magic wand and eradicated all nuclear weapons and other forms of mass destruction, you'd return us to a world of bloodshed and horror. It's counter-intuitive, but it's true.

> but in the long term it will break the cycle of indebtedness to the rich, if we take efforts to make sure debt risk is always assumed by the lender.

I can see how that works, but in practice, lenders always sell their debts. My mortgage via Citi is sold, even though my interest rate and my payment remain unchanged. Then comes the government which will always provide some bailout, so what does "assume risk" even mean when in the end risk is going to get swallowed by another lender anyway?
