The RDBMS stuff about BFS seemed pretty overstated to me; it amounted to something more like arbitrary file metadata plus indexing that metadata. Frankly, the integration with Tracker for media and mail was pretty compelling: Tracker did half the work of XMMS and half the work of the mail application, so the media player just had to play files and do scrubbing and the mail app just had to let you view/edit individual messages. The search/list stuff many apps have was provided by the filesystem+Tracker.

Keep in mind, this was during the era of Microsoft FindFast. FindFast worked by continuously crawling the filesystem, so the extra cost you might be incurring on BFS on-demand was happening in batch mode on Windows at great cost. slocate still works essentially the same way and is widely used on Linux but doesn't really do metadata queries; Beagle and Spotlight do the same thing as FindFast but plug into filesystem notifications to make the reindexing less painful. I don't think it's necessarily an insane idea to make this part of the OS at a lower level, especially in an era when filesystem notifications were kind of a new idea.

As someone who lived through that era, BeOS was always a long-shot. But it was crazy responsive and looked good. I don't think BeOS failed because of technical shortcomings really. BFS was compelling compared to HFS+, FAT32 and ext2 (and it could mount at least FAT and ext2 natively); ext3 and ReiserFS came out around the same time as Be Inc dissolved so journalling was still a significant filesystem differentiator at the time. Whether BFS was relevant to it or not, BeOS had a reputation for being very good at media operations.
I find the definition "unlawful" for murder to be at odds with the common use. People refer to dictators as murderers all the time, even if the dictator unilaterally declared the killings legal. I find "unjustified" to be much more in line with common usage of the word murder.

There is so much more to this career than what your peers think of you. There are your clients and project stakeholders. Your supervisors and mentors. Your own feeling of accomplishment and your contribution to society. I can't (or perhaps it's just that I likely won't) experience the perspective from your biological gender, however you have to understand that you don't have to justify or prove yourself, especially not to your peers. The worst thing you can do is squander an opportunity.

Not to mention that, as a system, the brain is highly efficient in reusing modular structures for increasingly complex tasks.

I have a feeling when people mention "AI modelled after a brain" they consider a simplification of neuronal dynamics to be how to achieve that. But that is a very naïve way to do it. Looking at it from the system level is the more fruitful approach, IMHO.

> This is an architectural decision

It's also a business decision. You need to invest staff time in testing and automating said updates, and will inevitably lead to more outages. Thus less profits, directly contrary to your assertion. Managers have trade-off between a small but relatively predictable cost, and a large but presumed highly improbable cost. This is something that neither data nor human intuition are particularly good with.

Best case scenario insurance lets you convert your large risk into a small predictable cost, and the premium difference decides whether you stay on the CVE treadmill or not. But its not like actuaries have a lot of data to model to the point of accurately imposing a cost per day of unpatched CVE.

Worse, many places have competitors, and if they're choosing to take on risks in the name of lower prices and higher market share, the customers of your secured app walk out the door. Not only do you need to invest in security, you need the competition to as well. I have a few ideas on how to achieve this, but they're not historically palatable to the HN crowd.
I do remove animated GIFs that distract my focus when reading text.

I haven't yet felt the need to block CSS animations. Up to now, UX animations aren't so distracting they impede my reading. I think this may be because CSS is generally not used in ways that constantly distract while reading text.

A CSS fade or transition on scroll doesn't bother me as much as animated video/GIFs.

> Most of the the homeless people are likely eligible for California Medicare.

“California Medicare” is not a thing that exists. You are perhaps thinking of Medi-Cal, which is California’s Medicaid program (Medicaid is for the medically indigent, and is partly federally funded and administered by the states; Medicare is federally administered, and for seniors and certain disabled.)
Some MIT students were harassed by the government when they built the idea at a hackathon a few years back.
Anaheim has decent homeless day centers and has actually invested into container-based housing to accommodate the homeless population by the riverbed, but the issue is not as binary. It also has a decent share of large churches doing all sorts of outreach programs to help the poor.

For a variety of reasons - fear of government control, previous negative experience, fear of harassment or violence, conspiracies conjured up by someone with a mental condition - many homeless refuse "the system" and prefer the riverbank.

The factor that many seem to have overlooked with the $1000 price of the iPhone X is that, if it proves successful, it sets a precedence for future smartphones.

The spec improvements of the iPhone X do not line up with the accompanying price increase. Even by iPhone standards it's an expensive device. If you justify the price increases you're just telling Apple you're prepared to be short changed when the iPhone X's successor comes out.
I stand corrected, yes, the Medi-Cal program that covers the low-income Californians.

I know it's not what you meant, but obviously unwanted physical sexual conduct is immoral/illegal.

In regard to verbal sexual conduct I would say it is certainly undesirable in a work environment. I wouldn't allow it for a second if I ran a company, but this isn't my company. If Upload want's sexual conduct to be a part of their work environment, it's a dumb choice, but it's their choice.

You can't brow beat society into being perfect, you can only give people basic rights and hope for the best.

I'm sorry but I just don't think anyone has the right to be free from verbal harassment. I challenge you to even come up with a definition for verbal harassment that could be universally applicable.

I understand you wouldn't want that, but I would. I find it endlessly hilarious honestly. Even if the person directing it at me was serious.

My point is there is no common ground here. What is/isn't acceptable to me clearly differs from you. It will be thousands of years before society has any chance of finding common ground on what is/isn't offensive. What do we do in the mean time? Set arbitrary standards, or learn to live without them?
This is a provocative question. To make the responses more cohesive, can you define your meaning of "disrupt" for us?
Well, let's assume for a second that psychics exist and know that they are psychic. The second assumption is kind of important as if they just act on impulse without knowing they're psychic we can't really differentiate that from all the other chance winnings on a hunch.

For the Powerball, two ways to play: pick your own numbers or randomly generate them. Would a winning psychic choose one over the other more often? An ability to sense and know the future means they would have to either know the winning numbers and pick them, know the machine that produces the numbers (but not necessarily the numbers themselves), or somehow manipulate chance or psychics so that the lottery machine produces the psychic's number during the draw.

Psychic is kind of loosely defined right now by your question so for convenience let's rule out the last one since that's more telekinetic/magic than psychic.

With these conditions, we should see some pattern from the winner: they would either always pick their own and get the winning numbers or they would always happen to go to the right machine at the right time.

Both should show pretty consistent behavior on the part of a psychic, as we can see that the bar for big winnings is pretty low ($600) and multiple statistically improbable winnings would likely be investigated. (per the atriclr, only 10 states do not investigate frequent winners).

So to summarize so far:

Frequent winners very likely investigated unless they are in the 10 states

Psychic will likely pick their own numbers

Psychic will go to a specific machine and have erratic pattern of purchase

If psychic are playing the lottery, my assumptions lead me to think that it makes no sense to frequently win, instead banking on a single explainable big win. This of course would be only if the psychic did not want to be found out as a psychic, which for the purpose of the lottery I think would be a valid want as I believe that there are rules about additional knowledge, etc meant to catch people defrauding the lottery. Future-visions would most definitely qualify, so probably would require that the psychic forfeit their winnings.

The mundane explanations do explain a lot, both from the investigations and admissions from the frequent winners. To me anyways, the psychics, if they exist, would more likely be the one time big winners, not the frequent ones.

The thing I'm really looking forward to with Face ID is when apps are using it. Fine for unlocking the phone, but think about it.

Right now, if you access your bank, Dropbox, 1Password etc. you open the app, wait for the Touch ID dialog to appear, then move your finger from the screen (where it was) and to the Touch ID to authorize.

With Face ID; just open the app, and you're authorized. This is a HUGE thing in regards of usability.

More serious. I think we are nearing the time this could be done. People are getting fed up by facebook. The complaints you hear frequently all focus on no actual content anymore on timelines but just ads and friends sharing news items, other adds, winner actions, etc. Furthermore, privacy is always said to be a concern (though in truth hardly ever is).

My guess is. Attack those. Get real content on. Get people to actually share again their own content instead of others. An keep an eye on privacy.
An MTA is a program like Sendmail or postfix, and is used to transmit e-mail messages via SMTP. It's an important component in setting up your own mail server, but it doesn't speak the POP3 or IMAP protocol.

For serving IMAP, one program I've had recommended to me is dovecot. I don't have personal experience with it, but I've heard good things.

One solution I've considered is using dovecot on my local laptop, plus some custom scripting with imapsync (to sync the mailboxes), then something like mutt as a local IMAP client, and then imapsync would be responsible for syncing the changes made with mutt back to the upstream mail server.

But I haven't done this yet, and I haven't done that much research into what all components would be required to make this work well.

It can work, but evidence seems to imply this strategy makes the situation worse. I'm not sure what to do with this information other than to relay the experience. It's one of those tricky counterintuitive facts.
