"Self-sufficient" is not a good argument. Most people are not self-sufficient when it comes to survival on their own. Just look at the history - as soon as mass-produced food is cut off, famines kill hundreds of thousands, millions sometimes.

I used to support abortion, but more and more I'm sliding towards being maybe against it, because (some of) the anti-abortion side arguments are logical too. No matter how you draw the line based on some argument, you can use the same logic to kill adults. That includes viability, lack of pain, etc.

On the other hand, our technology is at the level where you can turn any cell in your body into sperm:

So if you're against abortion based on the "viability", every time you scratch your nose, you commit genocide.

It's a hard question.
I have enough confidence in FreeBSD jails to not worry about that. If I found someone who could actually break out of a jail I would at the least buy them dinner anywhere, their choice. You can't modify a running kernel by direct access. And you can't load modules. So it would be a very interesting hack to see.

Agreed -- though for many businesses you need capital. Engineering students by and large are far less likely to have it, students rarely go to engineering school and work that hard if they know they will inherit wealth or a business. Software is something of an exception to that rule, though not completely.
I haven't really followed the news. This is a surprising claim, but I admit I haven't checked up on it. Are their chips actually that competitive with a maxed out Intel quad core macbooks? It took a long time to get fully swapped from x86 to ARM. In the scheme of things Intel chips seem like such a marginal cost to Apple, why bother changing?
I think it's so you can tell at a glance what generation watch you are looking at.

They did a similar change series 1 to 2.

There are people for whom that matters.
It might not be your skin, but your skin care products. Some contain aluminium oxide or magnesium oxide. Both of these can oxide tungsten.
the future after that is more dies on the chip.

bigger chips with lower core counts that can run lots more instruction sets per cycle then for multicore put many dies on each chip.

more yield too it's better, you can makes sure every die is operational at the very least, and if not desolder and replace that die.

I think it may be true that the country can't decide on what it wants, but instead because the public wants something it isn't getting, something it can't get.

Obviously people don't want to feel uncertain because of volatility in government. The gridlock is intended to curtail legislative havoc a single party might cause if it got too big.

The problem is partisan gridlock only staggers when party interests conflict. Even then, that type of legislation is likely less unreasonable because of its partisan origins - the originating party has to make it palatable through willingness to include concessions, listen to the other party's concerns, address them in modifications and reattempt getting it passed.

The thing is both parties share much in common, and much of what they'd both agree to expand is concerning if not disenfranchising.

- uncritical fealty to institutional authority

- endless war

- the disregard for our privacy in their approval of expanding surveillance

- their disavowal in the strongest terms of any obstacle to their right to secrecy because national security

- deregulating campaign funding

- complicating a law, legislating it, and then relying upon that expertise to guarantee a cushy retirement in the private sector

- a worsening addiction to defense spending

If anything, I'd say the gridlock actually makes it easier for government to grant itself inadequately-justified powers and broaden its scope beyond deemed appropriate. Voters in this political climate see more of its potential going towards negating a vote for the other guy rather than signaling which problems need most attention.

We have a situation where Congressmen/women ignore their constituents and avoid their own town-hall meetings. And when in Washington (to the voter's frustration) much time is wasted, and bitterly. I guess it makes sense that they exhibit the ability to agree mostly on measures that make the government more ruthless, but it's disappointing nonetheless.
Indeed, it's a tactic.
What exactly isn't true about my statement.

You are saying people are not individuals with their own preferences?

Sure you can draw mental or geographical lines around people. And then try to apply laws to them.

But at the end of the day there are still people in those lines choosing to follow, or not follow the laws in various ways. And people treating people differently even while following those laws.

I don't know whether the thing about the App Store is true, but even if it is, the App Store is not the only way to download software on macOS, and in fact I suspect only a small minority of people primarily get macOS software there.
I would say find a niche market, build a tailored work flow for that market. For example, an random idea, the education sector, market your product to English teachers to allow for their students to manage there homework. Basically find any niche market where the businesses are using share-point, or network shares to manage documents. I believe your bread and butter will be with small shops that can afford a monthly subscription, but can't afford a large product like OnBase. Also don't be afraid to sell appliances that host your software, not everything has to be in the cloud.
Intuitively, one might think that fixing wheelchairs is cheaper than fixing sidewalks - but if the numbers in the article are typical, that may not necessarily be the case.

According to the article, "Chicago [...] spent $140 million in five years repairing sidewalks and pedestrian rights of way". The cost of the author's wheelchair is $30 thousand. If we assume this cost is typical, fixing sidewalks would have been cheaper than replacing 5000 wheelchairs with new all-terrain models - and would have benefits for residents and visitors without wheelchairs too.

One day you will be old and less physically capable than you are now, and maybe then you will change your tune. It's unfortunate that you can't yet put yourself in the shoes of those people.

Also, I'm a physically able-bodied person who exercises most days. Even I have almost been injured from tripping and falling over uneven surfaces in sidewalks while walking or running. I don't understand why you think it's so unreasonable to demand that sidewalks be built and kept in good working condition. It costs a totally insignificant fraction of overall tax revenue, way less than we spend on roads and mass transit, for instance.

> I run a mobile team of ~30 folks.

That's a... big mobile team. RN's been a good move for our smaller 2-3 person teams (2-3 devs, plus part-time designer, QA, various other roles full or part time—call it 6 personnel) though not without trade-offs. Big wins:

1) JS devs can contribute quickly and comfortably.

2) Can still easily write native code if needed (win over other native-but-not-native frameworks)

3) If you decouple business logic (Redux, even) and, say, REST client code, that stuff's largely portable to an awful lot of platforms. RN's supported platforms (including kind-of supported, like FireTV and Apple TV), plus desktop (well, "desktop"—Electron) and (depending on what you're doing) web.

4) It actually does look pretty OK on both iOS and Android with few special considerations (conditionally rendered sections, different views) for each. This surprised the hell out of me.

5) Papers over a lot of stupid, badly-designed, and/or broken crap on Android, and does a decent job of it.

These add up to a ton of time saved, which manages to overcome:

1) Immature, kinda poorly managed ecosystem. If you stray from RN+Redux and one or two other core libs, Here Be Dragons. Like, good luck ever upgrading RN if you load up on dependencies like a typical JS project, if those dependencies touch RN itself at all. Part of this is just JS "culture", part of it's the relative youth of the project, and part of it's FB's choices.

2) It's Javascript. We've fixed this by using Typescript, which is great. Makes Redux actually manageable—way less bouncing around between files, bouncing out to documentation, more just writing code. Fewer red screens due to typos or related dumb mistakes.

I can see, though, how it'd be challenging to divvy up work efficiently on even a fairly large mobile app for 30 people (are they all devs?!) unless you've got a lot more going on than just layout/CRUD/client-server, in which case I'd think RN wouldn't change things much, as far as division of labor goes.
Impressive to see that this was built in Unity!
People with suitcases, prams and walkers can easily get up kerbs. Wheelchairs are a totally different matter, mainly because of the weight they have to carry (it would probably help the woman in this article if she lost some weight).

It should definitely be possible to make a wheelchair that can go up a single step. Especially for $30k.
Their employer can be sued, like in this case and the other referenced in the article. I don't think there is any significant feedback for individual officers unless these suits become common.
> You are making a special distinction between stuff that is "part" of you, and stuff that is not "part" of you

But this a crucial distinction when talking about consciousness, it's not arbitrary. Consciousness requires a subject to be conscious.

Splitting awareness from the human mind seems weird to me. It's not very useful to consider, say, my liver to be conscious. Even worse, there's no way to prove or disprove the assertion that it is conscious; it's even less falsifiable than talking about other people's consciousness!

The whole point of Jaynes' book is that consciousness is not required for most activities. He argues that not only are your body organs not conscious, but also that most activities you engage in every day aren't conscious either.
RN for android was publicly released during the time we were experimenting.

I'm not disagreeing with the need for sidewalks and them to be accessible to everyone, but ....

in the story, why didnt the husband go get the car and pick her up?
Since we measure temperature by the transmission of energy, and that process occurs in an entropic manner, if you have a moving reference frame, that prevents measurement of the increase in energy by the detector. The particle itself definitely has increased in energy, we just lack the ability to detect it. This is entirely analogous to our inability to measure mass using a scale in free-fall.

I suppose it comes down to whether you define temperature as "what thermometers measure" or the average potentially transmissible energy of an ensemble. I prefer the latter definition for its clarity, but like the idea of kolmogorov complexity, it is sometimes unwieldy in practice.

Are Samsung and TSMC's 10nm equivalent to Intel's 10nm? I vaguely recall from studying semiconductors that different companies will call things the same when in fact one is substantially smaller and harder. No idea if that is the case here.
If the city had done a better job of complying with the existing accessibility laws in the first place then she never would have had to resorting to a lawsuit. Hell, if people had done a better job in the first place those laws would not have been necessary at all, and you wouldn't be affected.
Sort-of. The successor (Ice Lake) is planned to be on a 10nm+ process (so an advanced, 2nd gen version of the 10nm process). However, if the issues with Cannon Lake are mostly about moving to a smaller feature size (i.e. it's mostly a die shrink), and Ice Lake is more of an arch update than a feature size reach, it makes sense that Cannon Lake gets pushed back more than Ice Lake would be. (Yes, it'd necessarily be later -- but if you tackle most of the hard problems now, maybe not _that much_ later, and it makes sense to skip a gen.)
> "While there is no payment of cash, payment is in the form of giving up future rights."

This is a very nice way to put it, I guess it also applies to the React license issue.
Yeah, but we are the first species to start modifying 100% of it in such a way that only corn and cows will be left.
Actually, looking at geekbench, the intel processors still have a slight edge per core (4500 vs 4200 in the single core case). You're right about power consumption though.

But regardless, there's so much legacy software that would need to run on a virtual machine and thus be really slow. Probably not worth it - yet. But if intel keeps stalling and Apple's A line keeps excelling like they have been so far, it's only a matter of time.
Goodbooks-10k: Ten thousand books, six million ratings
No, the point is not simply using math to show something is wrong. It's using math to show something that doesn't need to be 100% correct to convey the desired meaning is wrong. It's pedantry to the point of wondering if the person responding has ever actually had a conversation with a human being that didn't involve a keyboard. If someone hears an elephant/mosquito metaphor in this context and starts doing math instead of simply taking it for what it is - a hyperbolic way of saying "this thing is really, really big/impressive/well-funded/whatever, and this other thing is... the opposite," that's a level of social awkwardness and borderline autism that is simply unnecessary in any discussion.

Okay, DDG is a hyena and not a mosquito. Great. Tell me how that changes the meaning of the article, or the strength of the facts used, or its conclusions, or the credibility of the author.
Flowchat – an open source HackerNews alternative written in Java
The team I'm a part of (~14 people) started building two new Android apps and transitioned our iOS apps to React Native a little over a year ago.

Overall, I would call it a great success; we have four apps (2 iOS and 2 Android) built from the same codebase, soon to be 5, and React Native has allowed us to be incredibly nimble in developing the framework and features for them.

Some things I do regret:

1. We didn't go all in on React Native, keeping large portions of code in native in case of performance or security needs.

This means that any given feature requires iOS, Android and React Native development. All of us are now fluent enough in each to do the work, but the context switching and debugging of actions moving across the bridge are a velocity killer.

2. We didn't realize that RN's cross-platform integrations testing story was so poor; we thought that we'd "just use Appium, it's perfect." Nope - design decisions made by the React Native team actually make Appium unusable for our Android apps.

This has forced a lot of churn in our testing strategy and we still have a lot of manual testing at this point. This is, IMO, the #1 thing that should be focused on either by Facebook or the React Native community.
exactly, if no one wanted to pay for it BCH would be priced at $0. Since it's being priced at an amount above 0, people are willing to pay the amount - thus supplying the money for it.
"I found a small detail in an irrelevant anecdote that is wrong (or more likely, that I misunderstood completely), therefore your entire argument is suspect and you're bad and you should feel bad."
Intel's "10nm" has roughly twice the transistor density vs. Samsung/TSMC "10nm", so I wouldn't compare based on the advertised process names.
How sophisticated are the things you can do to control the stereo and song selection without taking your eyes off the road? I have to admit that for me, that's pretty much the whole ballgame. I can see how something like Siri might aid that, potentially.
Yes, you can draw a very clean line. It's the line of self-replication. Self-replicators have an internal goal - that is to maintain their existence by growing and replicating. The more advanced ones develop complex responses to changes in their environments. Humans are just the apex of this process. A toaster or a thermostat don't self reproduce, so they have no goals. Having no goals, means no consciousness, because goals are shaping the development of consciousness.
I do like having a distraction-free iphone, but I also like to run and hauling a huge phone with me is stupid. But I like to run on the trails on Mt Tam and it can feel surprisingly remote quickly, so I want to keep the ability to make phone calls somehow. I am looking forward to trying the watch for just this use case. (Also, music while running!) I'm assuming I can turn off notifs on the watch just like on the phone.
While I appreciate the intent, patents are complicated, and the reason more complicated and weak licenses like the Apache license version 2 exist are precisely to address the complexity of patents.

Software nerds don't like complicated licenses just because they're not lawyers, but legal complexity is inherent in human affairs and cannot be simplified too much. The shortest license isn't necessarily the most desirable one. Writing a new license just because the Apache license is tl;dr is just not a good idea. Saying that you'll just ignore the law because you disagree with it will actually probably work out for a while until you're big enough for the law to no longer ignore you in return.

We've had amateur licenses written many times before. GPLv1 and the first Perl license are examples. They both had to be rewritten once someone who actually knows law looked them over.

In other words, kids, don't try this at home. There are professionals who can do this for you.
Feature-size is not really comparable between foundaries.

IIRC Intel 14nm is actually a smaller process than TSMC 10nm because there is no standardized way to determine feature-size.

There was a flurry of news articles a couple of days ago reporting that the A11 was on par with the most powerful dual-core Intel chips Apple is currently using: https://www.macrumors.com/2017/09/13/a11-bionic-chip-geekben...
7nm or 10nm are purely marketing terms. According to Wikipedia, Samsungs and TSMCs "7nm" process is comparably to Intels 10nm. And their 10nm process is only slightly better than Intels 14nm process. Don't let marketing fool you. Samsung and TSMC aren't really ahead of Intel.

It's worth noting that node size refers to very different things between different manufacturers, we have very little idea about whats different/similar between TSMC/Samsung/Glofo/Intel's '10nm' nodes.

It's very possible that TSMC and Samsung are using a less technically challenging (and potentially less technically capable) definition of 10nm than Intel.

Or, it could be that TSMC and Samsung are actually technically ahead of Intel.
