Im not missing any point.

>...this is a valid argument today. While today's equivalent of terminals (phones, tablets, and even PCs) have a significant amount of local computing ability, for the most part they really are just used as fancy terminals.

The argument that we don't need or use local computing power is not valid. The nuance you are imagining isn't there. Of course networked services are incredibly valuable. But most of them would be useless without local client software and there are plenty of things we use mobile devices for now where online services are just a convenient adjunct to powerful local applications.

'For the most part' almost every time I use my phone I unlock it using locally running fingerprint recognition software and interact with a high performance animated graphical user interface, regardless of what else I do with it. You can't wish these things away as irrelevant just because you've got used to them.
True, but... for that era, a "supercomputer" was a Cray 1. How many Cray 1's do you have in your home? That is, how many devices do you have that can do 160 MFLOPS? For many HN readers, it may be in double digits.
Why are you so concerned with a version number?

It is just a number.
Right, but how would the browser tell which is the main set of content?
Biological plausibility is just silly. What it mostly does is just put artificial constraints on the problem that doesn't need to be there. It's all mathematics. However you want to interpret or metaphorize the mathematics is up to each math-phobic field, but constraining yourself to what randomly evolved serves little good.
So for somebody without a lot of academic experience to bring to bear, it's basically a sinecure. Unless I missed something.

Thanks.
2017 and this is a brand new feature. Think about it...2017.
And this one: "What's interesting here is how what this really demonstrates is that Flash really was exactly what we wanted".

With HTML5, who didn't see annoying JavaScript popups and autoplay videos coming? Seriously.

If you think about the web, think about 2 things:
1. Text content
2. Multimedia content

People complaining about Flash always used arguments for nr 1.

For me, I want my text content to be really static text content, and my multimedia content to be boxed-in multimedia. HTML4 and Flash were good at that. Now you have a mix of both:
1. Text content with annoying interactions
2. Crippled multimedia content (think about the terrible way iOS handles audio for HTML5 games. Expect this in all browsers soon).
I love Gingko...I will try this new variation later but does anyone have any notes on how these two apps differ?
What do you think programming languages are standing upon if not math?

And I don't think math really "solves" any of the issues that are on debate here. You still need language and notation to express your precious maths, and that falls to the very same pitfalls as what is seen in PL design.
Two things:

* Sure, seeds germinate with water and warmth. But that's true today. In the words of an Australian farmer quoted in a research paper a few years ago: "Mate, we don't need a chip to tell us the soil's dry."

* There are other paradigms of agriculture that are actually sustainable. Agroecology is a good example of an alternative scientific paradigm for agriculture, one that thinks of agriculture in ecological terms.

That seems to be the "for dummies" version :-). It does give a listing for the ROMs and tells you a lot about the hardware, but doesn't go into detail about the PCB layout.

The 1978 version (digitally recreated in all its glory at http://www.classiccmp.org/cini/pdf/Apple/Apple%20II%20(Redbo...) gives PCB layout, timing diagrams, etc.

This is a simple concept. It's about liberty.

People, Americans especially, want the liberty to come and go as they please, at the speeds they choose, by the path that they choose.

I'm not sure every Bloomberg writer would understand that.
Thank you for getting to the crux of the issue. It is simple gate keeping.

Indeed, startup founders and great engineers get absorbed in their work and spend time on it.
> I can't think of a good reason why code in any well-behaved application should be allowed to make random outbound network calls

If your application implements webhooks, then there's a valid use case? I'm in complete agreement however that you should default to deny and open up as required.
Obviously you have to consider the pros and cons of the ICE on human history and progress beyond just listing what you believe are direct negative consequences of depending on cars in modern society.

While it's easy to jump on the Equifax Sucks Bandwagon (they do), I find it hard to believe that the degree earned has anything to do with this breach.

Are you absolutely certain that if their Chief Security Officer had a degree in CS that things would have been different?

Attacking someone a personal level like this is tempting in a case this serious, but it's in poor taste and will yield exactly 0 results. The data can't be un-breached, and placing blame in hindsight is unhelpful and will only escalate to more personal attacks.

Let's not pour oil on the 'Stem degrees are the only good degrees' echo chamber fire.
If you set any arbitrary number, the ad networks will simply report that number as the size, or chunk the video into that size and make the page keep requesting small video after small video.
The idea was to be able to use more than your own 10 fingers for locking/unlocking as the owner. Not to brute-force TouchID as a thief.
Our household got vastly easier, and our kids happier, when we did the opposite: got rid of the TV, and only watch shows on the iPad. The big TV screen was a constant suggestion looming over the living room.

It's easier still when the iPad runs out of batteries; we just haven't managed to get rid of it entirely yet.
> After this (already a lot, isn't it) , it is mostly "let kids be kids".

Some of your list is just basic quality of life. Sleeping? Eating at the table? Talking to them? This is all general parenting.

> My daughter started getting hooked on to Ipad and one day, we went cold turkey and put it away. She only gets to watch TV now. No more eyes stuck in an Ipad.

How is TV better than an iPad? I mean, seriously? At least with an iPad there's a plethora of different apps, and a good percentage of them will be more enlightening than watching the ever diminishing quality of TV these days.

How much of this is just paranoia about "too much screen time" but reframed for a 21st century approach?

> My wife doesn't quite agree but I have been able to keep it like this for a while.

Parenting is a two person effort. Don't shut out the mother's thoughts on it just because you disagree.
1) There is no incentive for the Govt to get this right.

2) Besides, govt bureaucrats don't have the ability now (IMHO) to think rationally and get to the best decision

3) Govt has no business to get in the way of voluntary transactions between two adults
Wow! Thank you isr
The same could be said for nuclear bombs or silly putty.
LOL. Physics and philosophy used to be synonyms. The reason we distinguish them today is that in 1687 Isaac Newton got the bright idea that truth could be distinguished from falsehood by looking at how the world actually behaves. Those who subscribed to that idea are today called "physicists" and those who chose to reject it and continue to engage in intellectual circle-jerks untethered from reality are called "philosophers." There's a reason that "experimental philosopher" is an oxymoron.

The whole idea of a "prominent philosopher" having anything meaningful to say about the world is laughable, not because philosophers can't come up with good ideas, but because "prominence" in the philosophy world is not gained by coming up with good ideas, but rather by coming up with ridiculous ideas like grue and bleen which seem deep if you ignore reality, but crumble immediately if you don't.
I'm never going back to hauling a week's worth of groceries through the snow from the bus stop. Nor cutting my weekend with my girlfriend short so I can make the last train back to my city on Sunday night.

You'll have to take my car from my cold, dead, broke hands :p
That's the one. I'm actually just finishing it up now, so it's fresh enough in my mind that it jumps out at me in application.
That's what you get when you don't clearly separate text content from multimedia. With HTML5 it's all mixed together.

And now you end up with text content full of annoying interactions, and crippled down multimedia functionality.
That sounds easy to defeat. Make some mundane, but legit packages (maybe on of those "$X but without the pointless complexity"-packages), gain trust, once trust is reached start uploading typo-squatting packages.

Knowing today's internet, programmers from cheap-labour nations (India & Co.) would soon start offering "trusted PyPi accounts" for sale on hacker forums.

It's very confusing how a prestigious institute , like Harvard makes decisions. They first offer fellowship to Chelsea Manning but back off after threatened by CIA chief. They honor Aung San Suu kyi, the top leader of Myanmar, as the Humanitarian of the year 2016 when her country is literally going through ethnic cleansing by persecuting Rohingya minority. Really curious who makes these calls there...
This. Not every community has to have a million users to be useful. Lots of people are also members of smaller ones dedicated to certain niches. Like say, a genre of music or a favourite sports team or a video game series or anything else.

Just look at Hacker News for example. It'll never be as big as Facebook, Twitter or Reddit, but it doesn't need to be. It's a good community for the people it's aimed at.

The idea you should only make stuff for as large an audience as possible or to get rich quick is perhaps one of the most depressing aspects of the internet (and world) today.

Something as simple as "refrigerated food" stands in and of itself as a counter argument.

Your entire diet would be different if cars werent around.
I don't think there's any proof that they are related. If you look at cities where automobile use is proportionally lower (London, NYC, Tokyo, Amsterdam, Copenhagen), I don't think people there would have lower life expectancies. And if they did, it's more likely due to pollution.
This is scary. Now some YC startup will figure out how to automate the surveillance and scale this. Big Brother, but less labor intensive. Just something that snoops on your kids' phones and uses machine learning to evaluate what they're doing would do more than half the job these "Cognition Builders" are doing.
Or two days' of developer time. Or a nickel on the manufacturing costs.
We have already run out of IPv4 addresses. IANA allocated all blocks in 2011, Asia ran out in 2011, Europe 2012, Latin America 2014, and North America in 2015. The address exhaustion predictions were pretty accurate.
Read my comment carefully. Though I've used terms loosely you'll see I'm actually talking about package repositories and their inclusion policies.
Could there be any confounding factors in that relationship? There were a good number of vaccines invented over the last hundreds years.

100 syscalls for a microkernel sounds like a lot. Is that standard? I thought the reasoning behind microkernels was for dispatching to userland processes to handle things instead of needing a lot of syscalls.

It was more a general point, like for the Telefonica button, the Pocket button, etc., this links to a particular image upload tool though doesn't it? Only looked at it long enough to find if I'd got malware.
I agree.

Mr Hinton was somewhat vague and brief in his statements here, though. What do you think the crisis point is that he's reached exactly? (It must be sure enough for the man who introduced the paradigm in the first place to have caught on, yet the change of thought process unclear enough for him to recognize that it will be somebody newer who will have to introduce something else)
Just tried both Gingko and this. The concept is fascinating! (I've been using Checkvist for years now.)

I find this much easier to learn to use, as I don't have to toggle between edit mode and non-edit mode. (Modality can be tricky: https://medium.com/interaction-reimagined/dangers-of-modal-u... - shameless plug :) )

I don't like markdown either though, the extra markup interferes with my thinking. Though there is no UI modality, I feel it adds a cognitive modality where I need to switch between thinking about the actual content, and the translation from text semantics to markdown syntax.

But I suppose I could stick to plaintext with these apps. A subtle rich text editing possibility would be appreciated too though.

Edit: Scandinavian keyboards require pressing shift to get /. So accessing the search bar doesn't seem to work at all.

Oh! There is an edit/preview mode, it's just global. I think I like it.
The point I'm making about definitions is that the one you use here seems to vary within the space of a single comment.
Its lower, but is it nonexistent? I take a cab in Shinjuku and I'm still in traffic.

The parent seems to be actually talking about AUTOMOBILES in more than just the modern scope. There is a bit of a bigger paradigm shift at play here if you were to consider a world without automobiles.
I don't get this excitement we have to control other people's lives. We should not interfere with voluntary transactions. Free markets serve niches not Govts
Thanks for providing this alternate perspective and invalidating my source. I will reconsider my position.

Can you account for the significant amount of women computer scientists making ground-breaking discoveries? Grace Hopper, et. al. Were the outliers?

I'm asking because I genuinely am unsure.
And self driving cars, could make this worse. If your car has shocks for stop and go traffic as well as for bumps, you might not mind a 3 hour commute if you can instagram, and even do work from it. Meaning more people will live further away so they can get their half acre of land.
It doesn't mean she didn't know what she was doing, but it certainly looks bad. A company whose CSO doesn't have a technical degree is going to have a harder time proving they took security seriously.

Pollan's point is that there's more to nutrition than carbs and protein. It was already established that the green revolution (which ultimately was about turning fossil fuels into food) resulted in food with more carbs and less everything else. Global warming apparently is doing the same.
How about subsidizing research/investment in renewable technologies to literally save the world?
Perhaps the individually owned automobile. I think the public bus, fire truck, ambulance, etc. are beneficial on net.

You should try to be more specific. Otherwise folks will ignore the bits of truth mixed into the hyperbole.
Characterizing employer-provided parking as a fringe benefit is a poor way to frame this debate.

The benefit is to the employer, not the employee.

Proposing to tax this as an employee benefit will likely sidetrack this and raise emotions due to the unfairness.

That's too bad because there is a real problem and a tax may very well be the best way to solve it.
What does refrigeration have to do with automobiles?
Which font to use depends on many factors.
First of all fonts don't look the same under various font rendering engines, and those engines have parameters leading to even more variations.

Then, your screen is another factor. With a lot of dpi (e.g: 4K or superior) you can pretty much anything you want since most fonts will look very readable.

> We analyze the I/O behavior of iBench, a new collection of productivity and multimedia application workloads. Our analysis reveals a number of differences between iBench and typical file-system workload studies, including the complex organization of modern files, the lack of pure sequential access, the influence of underlying frameworks on I/O patterns, the widespread use of file synchronization and atomic operations, and the prevalence of threads. Our results have strong ramifications for the design of next generation local and cloud-based storage systems.

> The iBench tasks also illustrate that file systems are now being treated as repositories of highly-structured “databases” managed by the applications themselves. In some cases, data is stored in a literal database (e.g, iPhoto uses SQLite), but in most cases, data is organized in complex directory hierarchies or within a single file (e.g., a .doc file is basically a mini-FAT file system). One option is that the file system could become more application-aware, tuned to understand important structures and to better allocate and access these structures on disk. For example, a smarter file system could improve its allocation and prefetching of “files” within a .doc file: seemingly non-sequential patterns in a complex file are easily deconstructed into accesses to metadata followed by streaming sequential access to data.
Kids are notoriously bad at learning on their own. Give kids the choice between candy and something healthy for dinner every day, and they'll consistently pick candy. Good parenting and limits are important.

But on the whole, I also see your point. I remember as a child being friends with two siblings with particularly strict parents. Everything felt so regimented... there was a specific time on certain days of the week that they were allowed to "bring out the Nintendo" and it had to be away at a certain time, on the dot. I always felt really nervous being over there, like I was on the edge of being thrown out of the house for something or other.

One of the kids turned out great, the other got into drugs. Go figure.
Yes let's tax anything that bothers anyone. I'm sure this will lead to a bother-free utopia.
to be fair, the Oxford PPE contains one of the better economics courses, although dependent on which tutors you have in your college. Nonetheless, there is a significant minority of no-chin toffs who have no business being there except for their school and connections (See most of the Tory party).

But self-driving cars never need to circle looking for a parking spot, and can head off to the dense "autopark" to hang out until you need a ride home. That will alleviate congestion.
True. I'm just trying to caution against this turning into a witch hunt against one specific person when the entire company from top to bottom was in the wrong.
If I hadn't quit college to continue my tech career, I would have ended up with a degree in Sociology.

Would having a non-Tech degree make me less qualified than someone who has no degree? Of course not. It proves I can do the drudge work necessary to earn a degree, without which I must fall back on testimonials.

They have an MFA. That's a hell of a lot of hard work. Proves they are capable of doing hard work.

I don't see what the problem is here.

EDIT: Received a BA, magna cum laude, and MFA, summa cum laude. That's impressive regardless of the field. That's "succeed at all costs".

EDIT: Changed BS to degree in the first paragraph because I have no clue wtf makes something BA or BS. It's an arbitrary division that's used primarily as a weapon to disrespect women and is not a valid distinction of "intelligence" or "science-capable" or "technical-capable" in the modern era in any way whatsoever.
They're unnecessary, but mainly because tractors have equipment that do this anyway. So unless it's needed more frequently than when the tractor's driving around, it's probably not worth the extra cost.

Are you going to continue to try playing devil's advocate by saying you live next a farm and don't need a refrigerated truck to drive produce to your grocery store, or are you now seeing what I'm saying here?
> I think it’s time to give syntax and writing the time and respect it deserves.

Before I became a programmer, I did Latin at school - the whold fiddliness of endings/cases was a great preparation. We frequently used terms for "syntax", "parse" and "[parse] tree" in class. This approach probably doesn't scale, but it worked really well for me.
You need trucks to transport refrigerated food, sure. But personal cars?
Presumably, automobiles allow people who may live farther away from a store to get perishable (frozen or refrigerated) items home in time.
I concur with your McD thinking. I think you've got FB and Google wrong. I'm not saying they're saints, but in their self interest, they serve their customers. So they've their customers' interests in mind

If people cared about privacy that much, they should use some other network. People weigh the trade-offs of benefits vs costs and still choose to use FB and Google.
MySpace can a bit later than what msla is referring to.. in fact, the MySpace period (mid 2000s) may have been the best in this regard, as the amateur site makers were increasingly people who didn't know HTML and used more restricted tools like Blogger, but the bandwidth for pervasive video wasn't around yet.
>I see tons of car ads... in SF of all places.

You realize that a small minority of the people seeing those ads actually live in SF, right? The TV stations showing those ads cover at least 9 counties, many of which have a higher population that the ~900k people living in San Francisco.
At my company, commuter parking perks only apply when driving to and parking at a transit station, then taking public transit to work. That seems like a net benefit for society vs driving the entire distance to work.
