I don't think that Tizen is used as an application framework.

In the HMI architecture document, they mention Qt, HTML5 and JavaFX for apps:

https://wiki.automotivelinux.org/_media/eg-ui-graphics/17080...

the WindowManager spec seems to assume Qt as default: https://wiki.automotivelinux.org/_media/agl-hmi-fw_windowman...

and most of the UI demos seems to use it too : https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/#/admin/projects/A...

I could not find apps built with Tizen's native toolkit (EFL).

The industry was promoting the Diesel also with the smaller CO2 emissions of this engine.

The other negative effects of the Diesel boom was very visible for a long time and politics and authorities were ignoring it.

Merkel (and her coalition partner the CSU) is especially responsible for having a very weak minister Dobrindt, who was not willing or able to guide the automotive industry.

Merkel and the government is a part of the problem, but the automotive industry and the consumer is even more so. The automotive industry promoted the Diesel engine and the consumer bought especially the high-powered ones. The government is responsible for low Diesel taxes, supporting large company cars and a lack of regulation.

Exactly. That's why we keep going in circles when talking about these things, and why people have been repeating themselves for hundreds of years, yet the problem still seems fresh.

I wish I had something more substantive to add, but I have really come to think of this as a fundamental limit to thinking.

It's sort of analogous to starting with a set of axioms, then trying to derive explanations for these axioms from them.

This sounds defeatist, but I have yet to read a good argument for why trying to explain the "hard problem" is anything else than that. I guess you could see this in a sort of mystical light and build something spiritual around it, too...
> [..] there is no 'payment layer' on top of it, only pie-in-the-sky designs.

That is completely false. Development of Lightning Network and other solutions by multiple teams has been steady and robust. To cite a few working on LN:

* https://github.com/acquia/lightning

* https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd
That diagram suggests Northern Sweden to Southern Europe is 50%, not 80%, which sounds more plausible.

The nuance that's being made here is that the public cryptanalytic results we have are from researchers that need to publish. However blackhats (be it government or private) have no such need. Thus, they do not care if the analysis is elegant or neat.

This means that ARX functions will have less published analysis, but may still be successfully attacked.

This isn't even a new argument they're making here. It's been well understood that simple cipher designs are better, because they are easier to understand. If you can understand it well, yet not break it, that gives confidence. If you don't understand it, it might break as soon as you do.

I partially disagree. Whilst I don't have VR goggles myself, and agree with you in that so far, I haven't seen a reason for the purchase at all. A tool like this for visualisations though, is a use case that I see as possibly beneficial.

With that being said, it has to be done right. Not only that, I'd expect to be 'VR-only', not even just 'VR-first'. A visualisation tool that I'm expecting would have difficulty conveying the same data on a flat screen. Sure, one could argue that you're still only looking into flat screens in the goggles, but the multiple axes of movement allowed by both the head translations as well as hand movements give you superior control vs just mouse input.
I talked someone out of a night in prison once.

There was a payment dispute at a night club and the owner brought the police. The guy in question then started talking about their legal rights, and all the lawyers they know

and thats where I interjected "you could just pay with your credit card and initiate a charge back, let the credit card company deal with it, because you'll still spend the night in jail otherwise even if you were right"

the club owner, the crowd and the police looked at me as if to say "who thinks like that", and the club owner stumbled over his words saying back to the guy that is he charges it back he won't be allowed in the club again

who knows how the chargeback would have actually gone
The Risk of a New Economic Non-Order by Mohamed A. El-Erian
One major difference though, objects with multiple fields will require some sophisticated logic to ensure correct order of initialization (depending on the way constructors and setters are done). A partial function enforces some order. You can accumulate safely information and get closer to a usable and valid final piece of logic.

It's less easy when you need choice although one can use subfunctions .

In OOP you may have fluent interfaces, builder things but it's.. once again a lot for not much more.
Second-Hand Misogyny
From my gut I'd say there are two - your "conscious breathing" is actually the same as your unconscious breathing process: Both are done without awareness to it and are primarily modulated via the vegetative system (O2 receptors in the carotid, hering-breuer reflex and so on).

The difference being that while you're awake you can consciously affect and correct your breathing (your "meta-conscious breathing").
When you're asleep, your body has to rely on it's other unconscious mechanisms to do that.
Well, defining the "hard problem" hasn't gotten us any closer to understanding consciousness in the last 22 years. The hard problem just moves consciousness problem into an unfruitful direction. It's time for more practical approaches.
I started feeling like I had all my eggs in the same basket. Google has my email, it knows where I want to go and when (Google Maps), it translates stuff for me, and it knows what I search for. While it doesn't really affect me that Google has all this information, I've become more and more uncomfortable with the fact that they do.

So I figured if I had a choice of two search engines, where I get satisfying results in both of them, and one of them doesn't track me, why go for the one that tracks me?

I'd gladly do the same switch when it comes to Gmail, but I really really like Gmail's web interface, haven't gotten over that hurdle yet.

EDIT: I also switched from Google Chrome for pretty much the same reasons.

To be honest, if I'd design something this elegant, and nobody considers if because of an irrelevant attack, I'd be very sore and alert for it happening again, too.
There is a lot of propaganda involved. Sure Greek politicians did not blame themselves for taking huge amount of credit money and wasting it.

Without paying back the money (-> to the banks), Greece would have been bancrupt within days. Thus saving the banks saved Greece from being bancrupt. Without banks and without government money from the outside, nobody would have given Greece any credits...

> other countries call it corruption, in Germany is called corporatism.

That's insulting, and factually inaccurate - unless you have evidence to substantiate this hyperbole?

> for example, the way the Greek crisis was managed

The Greek crisis had other origins, and the financial checks/obligations upon joining the Euro are supposed to mitigate against the risk of not being able to devalue a national currency to e.g. boost tourism or exports. Too bad the Greek financial records may have not been completely accurate.

While Germany has benefited from the Euro, so have other countries. And it wasn't/isn't without downsides for Germany, either. I distinctly remember when the Euro was introduced, everything became far more expensive than the Deutschmark prices had been.

I think we can agree on that the economy is very much globally connected, and that a recession is going to have wide-spread effects. And that austerity doesn't work, and shows that best case, economists and bankers don't know what they're doing, or worst case know exactly what they're doing.

However, equating the actions/stance of one nations banks to that nation's people is a leap too far.
> But dollars, Euro's and all other physical currencies are about to die(soon).

Are you seriously suggesting that in 10 years there will no longer any physical currencies? Or is soon 50 years? Or 100 years? Can you give a concrete vision for how that would work?

> banks can create as much cash as they like, it's virtual value, not real.

No they can't? The government can, but not arbitrary banks.

> And again you see the allegations that crypto would be a pyramid scheme etc

As I understand it, it's more that it's incredibly unstable, and can be taken over by whomever has the most cpus at any given moment.

I'm sure crypto currencies have lots of uses, especially for more cases around the edge (people in countries with dodgy governments etc), but I can't understand what value it provides outside of that.

I am no expert. At the moment though, if I want to buy a widget online, and I have visa or bitcoin as my options, my choices are either to trust visa, the company that is bound by at least some regulation, has a physical office and PR that can be damaged, or trust a random bitcoin conversion service which is not bound by any regulation, could literally just disappear with my money, could record an internal log of every single transaction and tell it to third parties etc… and then disappear into the night if something went wrong.

Maybe this is all incorrect. But this is the perception that I and others have. So it's either an actual issue, or an issue of bad marketing.

> With these characteristics, nobody will ever want to use it as a payment method.

People have used gold as a payment method for millenia. If holding bitcoin is as attractive as you say it is, businesses will give discounts for bitcoin payment which can compensate the effect you describe.

In other words, if bitcoin is as attractive as you say it is, you would convert to fiat only when you want purchase something, and the merchant would immediately convert from fiat to bitcoin. Why would both parties in the transaction chose to transact in such an inefficient way?
Actually I mentioned flying cars due to fuel inefficiency (I automatically assumed it was too low to make them practical) but I neglected to actually check their energy usage, and now that I just did it seems like the maximum efficiency could be on par with a normal car and it would depend on the actual trip, so my mistake on that.

A better example might be artificial intelligence and the AI winters. Like the failure of machine translation despite high hopes in the 1960s. It took us some 50 years to get to where we are now with Google Translate, and it still only works well for some languages. I have no idea how close to human accuracy it will get, so I would neither be surprised if it never does, nor if it does someday.

Anyway, hopefully instead of picking on the particular examples you can see that my point is obviously that people imagined we'd have a lot of things now that we still don't have the technology for today. So the fact that we've done amazing things in certain areas doesn't really say anything regarding this particular issue.
Do you realize that "legacy apps" are much more important to people who use them than the hardware that it runs on

Seeing that Apple is the most valuable company in the world and they have a long history of abandoning legacy software (Apple //e, 68K, PPC, and soon 32 bit x86) and moving customers with them, that statement doesn't jibe with the reality on the ground.

What are the chances that people won't upgrade their iOS devices because they want to run an abandoned 32 bit app?
> How can something that has no use have value?

It works well enough for me. I do stuff for people. They pay me in Bitcoin. I lease servers and stuff. And pay Bitcoin. All of that can be as anonymous as I like. So yeah, it works for me.

> Proponents continue to build castles and waste electricity hoping people bite so they can profit.

Sure, some investors do. Me, I wish that they'd find something else to screw up. If it weren't for all the damn miners, we could still mine on our own devices.

> Money is a social tool based on consensus, and today democracy and accountability, that has evolved with human societies however imperfect it may be.

So you say. I don't see any obvious connection between money and democracy or accountability. Money is what people use in trade. Trade is a private matter.

> Why would anyone give up this hard won rule of law and accountability to private individuals operating out of self interest peddling illusions about some imaginary 'freedom'?

So authoritarian jerks can't mess with them?
Well quantum computing is obviously physically possible. Somehow systems evolve from a prepared input to an output predicted by quantum mechanics.

However the difficulty of scaling quantum computers goes up exponentially with the number of qubits, thus we may not achieve enough success to make them practical.
I don't see why it wouldn't become as popular as Go, which is still a pretty niche language despite the Silicon Valley and HN hype.

C++ is an entire other beast. Asking whether a language will be as popular as "Go or C++" is like asking whether it'll be as popular as "Julia or Java".

C++ is one of the top 5, maybe one of the top 2 languages that existing software is built in. For about 15 (maybe even 20) years before Java matured, and then another 5-10 before C# became the default for new Windows projects, it was by leaps and bounds the most common language for building desktop and enterprise software. There are still billions of lines of C++ code in production and being maintained, possibly trillions. Not to mention new projects still being begun using it.

FWIW, I personally think Rust has a better chance of becoming the next C++ than Go does, but who can really predict the future anyway?

Both the availability and quality sucks - waitlists and infections galore across their hospitals.

That's an exaggeration.

I live in the UK and I know first-hand how it is. I've personally never had to wait more than a day, even for an operation.

There are waiting time and service problems recently, but you can thank the Tory government for purposely underfunding the service ion an attempt to drum up support for privatisation.

I mean, our current health secretary wrote a book stating that he wanted to privatise the NHS and now denies wanting to do so. It would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad.

The thing with single payer is it's just like communism.. it looks REALLY great on paper

We still have people covered for health care better than the US does. So make of that what you will.

Plus, nearly every developed country in the world has free healthcare in some form, it's just the US that refuses to spot a good thing and fix its broken-ass system.

Kinda like the metric system in that respect.

If enough rich politicians and leaders of industry label something communist, enough gullible Americans will drop their support for it even when it would clearly help them.
>Fortunately it looks like it is just bitcoin by itself.

Yes, my comment is mainly about BTC, although its many flaws are hardly unique so the same criticism will inevitably apply elsewhere.

>When its network got full it lost its innovative edge as it took over two years to upgrade. In the meantime more fully featured competitors have focused on specific use cases.

I think we are actually in agreement here. Bitcoin was innovative and exciting for a while but has gradually become stale and boring without good leadership. And the competition is catching up fast.

>An upgraded bitcoin may have irreparably lost some of its network effect advantage, and thats okay. It will have robust scripting for the next wave of ICOs and other organizations, decreasing the point of most altcoins. The top 10 may have differentiating qualities and markets already. Play it by ear, it isn't controversial to notice.

Good point, but I don't see it happening anytime soon. For starters, malleability was identified as a problem as early as 2011 and it took six years to be fixed. Other proposed additions are either minor tweaks (Schnorr signature, MAST) or vaporware (Lightening network anyone?).

Indeed, due to the bangs, I know use DDG as my proxy to a lot of other search engines, like Wikipedia (!w/!wda/!w..) and Wiktionary (!wikt), and even obscure ones like Memory Alpha (!memoryalpha). Very handy indeed.

Without being tied to the common currency, the Greek Drachma would have devalued relative to the Deutsche Mark, making Greek exports and tourism more lucrative. Had this been able to occur, the impact to the Greek economy would have been far less.

Instead, the common currency has greatly benefited Germany: had the Germans retained the Deutsche Mark, their currency would be valued higher than the Euro is now, making their exports more expensive and/or lowering the profits of export industries.
That reminds me of what I read about how Warren Buffett thinks about gold [1]. His point is essentially that if you invest in gold, your return depends on the price swings until you get out, and nothing else. This is in contrast to investing in assets that actually produce something (e.g. pay dividend). I see bitcoin being very similar to gold in this respect.
