Why the duality there ? Rust vs Go. Go is quicker to get hacks done in.

Okay ... so is Python, Ruby, Perl, ... and they will beat Go by a mile on quickly constructing small programs.

Even if it must be fast, there's still C#, Java and quite a few others.
We have national id + complete index of people, but still have credit check agencies.

The difference is probably that here those agencies aren't somehow trying to guarantee my identity. They just answer what credit rating my identity has.
> Employers are involved and apply pressure to employees.

That sounds like hell.

The difference between breaking into a house and hacking into a machine is that a burglar can only break into so many houses and has a significant risk of getting caught. A hacker can get into an almost unlimited number of machines and is unlikely to risk any retaliation.

As a result you have the equivalent of dozens of people trying to pick the lock of your door every day, and the law can't do much to stop it. That requires you to pay f*ing attention to the quality of your lock.
In Israel fast food costs more than normal food. Vegetables are relatively cheep to the US ($3 for avocado??) And in general "fast" food is not a value people appreciate over "healthy".
One of the ways to fight obesity is by taxation and lowering the costs of healthy food. When salad will cost less than a burger (and there's no economic reason it shouldn't) people will choose it.
Fruit juice is pretty bad on the calories regardless of added sugar or not. I mean, the sugar doesn't help, and has other bad effects (teeth, most notably).

But the issue with fruit juice is just how much fruit you need to make it. One glass of apple juice is 3-4 apples. An apple is 60-80 calories. That makes that glass about 300 calories, which is ridiculous.

It's a bit less bad with orange juice, although like lemon juice it has other problems (they're very acidic, at least as bad as coke).

So one glass of juice should be somewhere between 20-25% of your total meal calorie intake. As in, if you drink (one glass) of juice, 2 loaves of bread is now your limit. With water, you can do 3.

But the sugar. Well, the sugar takes the 250-300 calorie glass to 300-350. Not good, but ... not going to make the difference. That's like taking a bit more jam on the sandwich.
I like rarbg too, but its annoying that they don't put the magnet links on the results page.
>> What provisions are there on restoring these Helium HDDs to working order 10+ years from now on?

None. The He will leak and eventually positioning errors will become frequent if the drive stays in service long enough. It is not economically feasible to prevent the He diffusion. The drives are designed to lose He slowly enough to exceed their useful service life.

The process was developed by HGST (now owned by WD) and it's called HelioSeal. The drive chassis is tin plated steel that is laser welded inside an He filled chamber creating a hermetically sealed enclosure. The pressure inside the enclosure is slightly lower than atmospheric, but He is still lost very slowly through diffusion. Given this process it's difficult to imagine a feasible repair technique; one would have to cut open the chassis and later reseal it in an He atmosphere.

Something to consider; there is no means of restoring a flash cell to service after it's been worn out, yet that hasn't prevented widespread and highly successful Flash adoption. I doubt the unserviceable nature of Helium filled drives will impede adoption.

Monero might obscure the origin of the funds, but so does using cash. Money laundering requires an extra step - finding a plausible alternative origin of the dirty funds.

Monero in and of itself is fungible, but it doesn't 'solve' money laundering.
That's all well and nice, but we're currently not living in a world that will last. We're on the brink of some huge changes: oil getting replaced as main resource, AI becoming more and more able to really help making business & political decisions, space flight becoming affordable, the big players on the planet increasing their military and trying to buy each others valuable corps and resources.

Even the biggest companies are more and more moving to flexible business models, not really being anything like what the label says outside on the door. Just think about banks. Once the most stable institutions in the world, now not sure what they are. But everybody knows they need to adapt in some way if they want to stay relevant.

Trump, Putin, Xi, all people you better don't mess with. All people who are totally willing to mess with others. What happens when they start to mess with each other? And maybe that just has symbolic value, but next week the German government is re-elected, and the Nazis will get 10% of the parliament seats.

Nobody knows what the world will look like in 10 or 20 years. How can you build something to last that is not a few hundred meters underneath a huge mountain and self sufficient?
I've purchased whole racks full of servers that didn't have as much compute power and cost a heck of a lot more than this. I use a nice mobile Titan but it is nothing compared to this.

What crazy times we live in. I can't justify buying one of these. I keep tying to come up with a good reason. I suppose YouTube would finally run smoothly.
Only one of those three is private by default. If it isnt private by default, calling it a privacy coin or saying it offers 'complete privacy' is farcical. Monero is the only way to go at the moment.

I must say I really like it in the browser though. Chrome OSX; it plays 1080p while Netflix will not.
I think that the key lies in the fact that we are creating a numerical solution to a differential equation: y = y - 1/16x actually means that we add an amount to y that is dependent on the value in x, i mathematical terms, it means that the derivative (approximated here) of y is equal to deltat(1/16)x

Assuming deltat=16, we have:

y' = -x

x' = y

Which is solved with y=cos and x=sin or with x=-cos and y=sin.

The fact that one line adds and the other substracts may be explain why rounding errors will compensate each other over time, but we need a more detailed working of the PDP arithmetics to be really sure about that.

Actually, many CS students may recognize a prey-and-predator model, that creates very simply sinusoids that are dephased of pi/2. That is, if one is a sine, the other is a cosine.
Nothing sells copy like another fearful article about rich Chinese "taking over" the USA. Americans only have to blame themselves for this one (although I don't think it's such a big deal) because they are trying to profit through some loophole. Isn't that the American way?
> Data dominates. If you've chosen the right data structures and organized things well, the algorithms will almost always be self-evident. Data structures, not algorithms, are central to programming.

This is especially beautiful insight giving that it has a parallel with molecular biology - proteins and other molecular structures dominate. Enzymes are made of "standard" proteins to transform particular molecular structures.

This, BTW, is also related to usually overlooked the "code is data" principle.

To be a good programmer one has to know molecular biology 101. It seems like good guy (John McCarthy, MIT Wizards, Bell labs and Erlang guys) did.
Until 2008, US citizens didn't need a passport to enter Canada. What initially changed in 2008 was actually that you needed the passport to return back to the US.

I don't know what the rules were back then for moving to Canada, but you could stay 180 days at a time back then.
Analogies are about quick understanding, not about being real. Apparently you understood it, so it is a good example to use. Adding a virtual hallway with closed walls and doors between waiting area and working area is not a big deal.

Don't make it sound like taxation and some legislation is making salad cheaper, it's just that everything is so expensive here you think a 15$ salad is normal.
We don't really have those folk intuitions. That is just our cultural baggage. No form of property is universal. No form of intellectual property existed until the 17th century, and it took until the 20th century before it IP worked the way we think about it today and became commonplace in the majority of the world. Guam in the 16th century didn't have a concept of personal property, leading to Magellan to dub it the Island of Thieves. Ownership of land was also a non-existent concept in many societies, famously many Native American ones.

Laws and ideas about ownership and property don't exist as some Platonic Ideal, but they change and morph to fit the societies they exist in. IMHO, IP law today, especially but not exclusively in the United States, does not serve content creators but publishers, and it is my belief that it is time to adjust the laws to fit the society we want to live in.

With the obligation to follow the law comes the right to demand changes in the law.

If nothing else, I find this at least an interesting attempt to replace ad networks with something else that generates revenue.
I had no problem writing characters 20 years ago. But now, I forget so many characters. It is mainly because that I use computers/phones all the time. Basically we speak when we are 'writing' on computers. Writing is the same as anything you mastered in life, you lose it when you are not using it. Computers changed our life, and writing Chinese characters with pen will be a lost art. In a way, we can still write it on our phone, does it matter?

I really enjoy live music, but after attending a rock show I temporarily developedtinnitus so bad it disrupted my sleep for 3 days. I had taken wonderful care of my hearing up to that point and it really bothered me that I might have permanently damaged by ears. I found the original Etymotic earplugs and bought multiple sets. I'd have new spares on me at shows that I would sell for cost. I'd give them to friends I went to shows with. Music is such a precious gift, it pains me that musicans are the first to lose it. Nearly any of these tri-tip earplugs will offer great protection and sound fidelity.

I'll take another look at the in-ear molds.
If your identity gets stolen you get new passport with new number and put old one into stolen document database.

Cannot do this with SSN.
But producing music these days is extremely cheap, it's not like decades ago where it required time in a million dollar studio to produce something that sounded decent. Meanwhile TV the opposite is true, budgets have soared with the increasing use of spectacular sets, CGI and special effects.
The alternating updating of x and y is analogous to a leap-frog numerical solution of a harmonic oscillator (with y=dx/dt). If they are updated at the same time then it's explicit Euler.
Don't switch from SSN. Just accept that they are public identifiers and ensure 1) everyone has access to photo ID with that SSN and 2) an authority can lookup addresses from SSN to perform 2FA.

This means everyone in the US has to accept national ID.

(It could theoretically be done at state level but it would be a huge hassle compared to national, and your tax authority and others are already national and need to know every person that lives in the country).

Basically you need to trust the federal government to solve your ID problem. And if the answer to that is "Whoa that won't happen, people won't accept national anything" then the simple answer is you'll keep being subjected to ID theft.

Why is chip & pin a bullet to bite? Isn't that just better for all parties involved?
I haven't seen password I'd or national card I'd used as identification, ever. The way it works is that you bring it physically and they look into it. Or that you send photo of the id (yes that is easier to forge, then again harder then forging utility bill) - that is done only where it is impossible to do physical check and never with loans and such.

Identity theft in Europe is extremely rare. It is possible to do something in your name, sure, but it does not happen nowhere near as often and damage is limited compared to ssn system.
Thanks, I'll give it a shot. My friend's kid has a nice setup. I'm not much of a gamer. I'll buy the game for him and make him let me play it.

We actually do the opposite in the US. Over 25 billion/year in farm subsidies (by contrast the ISS cost avg. ~9 billion/year b/w '98-'15), almost all of which goes to corporate farmers, especially corn.

This is why our markets are saturated with processed corn and corn syrup.

In other words the US gov spends ~3x the ISS cost to subsidize obesity so already-rich farmers can get richer (still not as egregious as banking is here, though).

I saw McDonalds being built in dirt-street towns in Guatemala, I saw lines three blocks long at KFC in South America, and I've seen many Porsches and Ferrarris in the parking lots of American fast food joints in third world countries.

I am utterly shocked they have not moved into Africa yet.

I've just driven tens of thousands of miles through 17 countries without a single Mcdonalds. Between Morocco and South Africa, there were none [1]. I am shocked they are not in at least Nigeria, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Ghana, etc.

I wonder if that's the longest distance in the world that can be driven without one. Or at least the most consecutive countries.

I recognize the Alan Kay I met at HP. Very sure of his own genius and quick to snarkily dismiss the genius of others.

Case in point: The iPad and iPhone makes kids creative like no other tool has before. Kids know how to use it to text, exchange ideas or pictures of kittens, draw or sketch, learn how to program (Swift Playground anyone), take and edit photos. It is everything but a glorified TV where kids are passive. This is the only environment where kids are truly first-class citizens. How on earth Kay could spend so much energy (a whole article) trying to convince us otherwise based mostly on super-weak arguments like "nobody is using the Shake gesture to undo" is truly beyond my understanding.

Don't get me wrong. The Dynabook was a somewhat interesting idea. But it's about as much an inspiration for the real thing we use daily as the Star Trek tricorder. What Kay, to this day, did not get, unlike Jobs, is the power of networking, both physical and human. What made the iPhone greater than the Dynabook ever would have been is the App Store, and the combined creativity of millions of developers. What made the iPhone greater is apps like Messages, Facetime, Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp, and countless others. What made the iPhone greater is Instagram, Flickr, sport apps, medical apps, HP-48 emulators, 3D "kill them all and think later" games.

By contrast, what would have made the Dynabook great in Kay's mind was "designed by Kay for Kay's personal interests". Or, as Fake Bill Gates would have said: "One programmer should be enough for everybody".
Let me try to help this community regarding this article by providing some context. First, you need to realize that in the more than 50 years of my career I have always waited to be asked: Every paper, talk, and interview has been invited, never solicited. But there is a body of results from these that do put forward my opinions.

This article was a surprise, because the interview was a few years ago for a book the interviewer was writing. It's worth noting that nowhere in the actual interview did I advocate going back and doing a Dynabook. My comments are mostly about media and why it's important to understand and design well any medium that will be spread and used en-mass.

If you looked closely, then you would have noticed the big difference between the interview and the front matter. For example, I'm not still waiting for my dream to come true. You need to be sophisticated enough to see that this is a headline written to attract. It has nothing to do with what I said.

And, if you looked closely, you might note a non seq right in the beginning, from "you want to see old media?" to no followup. This is because that section was taken from the chapter of the book but then edited by others.

The first version of the article said I was fired from Apple, but it was Steve who was fired, and some editor misunderstood.

In the interview itself there are transcription mistakes that were not found and corrected. And of course they didn't send me article ahead of time (I could have fixed all this).

I think I would only have made a few parts of the interview a little more understandable. It's raw, but -- once you understand the criticisms -- I think most will find them quite valid. In the interview -- to say it again -- I'm not calling for the field to implement my vision -- but I am calling for the field to have a larger vision of civilization and how mass media and our tools contribute or detract from it. Thoreau had a good line. He said "We become the tools of our tools" -- meaning, be very careful when you design tools and put them out for use. (Our consumer based technology field is not being at all careful.)
Eh, it wasn't too bad tbh, and my employer was one of the most traditionally run in the country.

Mostly the company handing out free step counters to those who wanted it. There might have been some very modest financial incentives given out as well.
Thank you for actually looking at the site and writing feedback!

I guess you have a really good memory to remember words just from flashcards. I tried that, but could never remember the words after class. Learning words is much easier for me if they're in context.

A few years ago, I wanted to switch my CS specialty from computer vision to bioinformatics and biology simulation. I have always been intrested in optimization, often wrote GPU code, found biology much more rewarding than augmented reality.

A good researcher in the field was generous enough to guide me through the process and gave me a list of basic and also cutting edge articles that I should understand to be useful in the field. Coming from CS, I expected the literature to be basically free to download from researchers webpages. Boy was I wrong.

The guy sent me a few copies, I was at the time also working close to a uni so I leeched a few from their library access, but this was a new field for me: every article rests on well-known conclusions explained in another article so I needed a ton of references, each bringing other references. Exactly like when you start reading an article in wikipedia on a subject you don't know.

At one point I just felt ashamed of asking articles after articles and my library (that was not specialized in biology) only had half the articles I needed. I considered paying for them, but I needed probably at least 200 references and each was in 30 dollars range.

I quit. I am still doing computer vision. I was ready to earn less to do research in a critical field for society, but I abandoned mostly because of this stupid barrier, that said that not only should I be ready to earn less, but also pay a huge rent to people I know to be parasites in order to be allowed to help research.

Fuck that.
The interface for reading on screens sucks. The hardware (e.g. iPads) is getting there but the software is still miserable.

Hard to browse, bookmark, annotate (either in place or separately), cross-reference, cut and paste (as with scissors). Doesn’t help that most books are not available in a carefully crafted digital-native format.

The people I know with the most effective research habits, even ones who get most of their material online, still make great use of note cards, white boards, marked-up printouts, and the like.

For now paper is definitely preferable for reading anything but pulp novels, newspapers, and ongoing discussions. But I can imagine that changing if some people put in work on the software side in the next couple decades. Biggest pain point at the moment is probably authoring tools.

If every basic textbook was filled with interactive (programmable?) diagrams, computer simulations, extra related media, links between text and video lectures, a wider variety of practice problems at varying difficulty with full listings of hints and solutions, in depth technical annotations and bibliographic links to primary sources (viewable in place) for every chapter, etc., learning from textbooks could be made much more reader-centered, with books becoming less a serial prose format and more like a tree/graph. But all that stuff takes massive amounts of work, and would require some kind of collective funding by a group laser-focused on the real-world effectiveness and quality of the output, rather than political bullshit or rent-seeking, as most current curriculum designers and textbook publishers are. Teams of volunteers like Wikipedia aren’t really able (at least that I’ve seen) to make a novice-friendly but still accurate explanation or a coherent narrative for a whole large subject.
Yes, the world is changing and there's a lot that's uncertain. However, this is really over the top and has little to do with the submission per se. Do you have anything specific and constructive regarding the post? Strategies they should be using to build their business? Say what you want about their business strategy. At least it's an ethos.
