tl;dr the thesis is that addiction is a learning process of reinforcing behavior->reward understanding. Targeted magnetic pulses look to be capable of altering the chemistry of the neural pathways where this understanding lives.

The article also notes how increasingly more behaviors are treated as addictions. Korea provides government subsidized gaming addiction treatment, which I think is interesting to consider if we are physically altering destructive behavioral patterns to reprogram people
Where will the limits be? Might a workaholic be treated? What about junk food, smart phones? An adolescent with a history of getting kicks out of tormenting others? Fanatical racists or nationalists?

On another note, there are other theories about addiction to supplement this one: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ao8L-0nSYzg

The 'best cybersecurity consultancy in the world' is destined to be the one which sells itself best to corporate executives. However, the most effective cybersecurity is done by people of technical and intellectual skill - the exact people corporate executives have a very low opinion and level of trust in.

> And I do not think, there is a sharp line between WebApp and Website. You could say, we are using one right now (even though very primitive) discussing right now - more than "static(-ish) content"

You could make that claim but it'd be a tough sell. Sites like this are clearly not what anyone talks about when they say "web app" or extol the virtues of HTML5. This site is static(-ish) content with hyperlinks to go to new static pages. It's not dynamic or highly interactive. Which is part of what makes it great, don't get me wrong. But it's clearly not a candidate for a web app, it's not clamoring for webasm, webgl, or any of those shiny new toys, etc...

> the web is faaaar away from static documents linking each other, what was it's origin.

How do you figure? Most people google something (either via a dumb web form or more commonly via a native app), then click a link to a static page.

Or this site, which is basically just an index page of yesteryear, and is literally just a bunch of static links to other usually static content.

> And with real webapps - well, I believe the big ones are about to come. The underlying technology to really make them usefull, is just about to become stable.

I disagree since the underlying technology really truly doesn't exist. The fundamental basics to making a responsive app still don't exist at all (no cheap concurrency, for example, to say nothing of cheap parallelism).
You are trivializing the difference between "using" and "choosing". One is transitive, the other is not.
You are right that the product comes from the business model. You are however completely wrong about what Google should do. Advertising is not an evil thing that needs to be eliminated. It is a much better revenue source for building services compared to selling hardware. Apple organization is fundamentally built around selling hardware and software as a package for an upfront cost. The organization is design to perfect something than release it. This is 100% at odds with what you need to do with services. You need to iterate all the time and not be trying to perfect something for the new iOS release.

Your advice would lead to maps, gmail, etc be becoming worse but their hardware still not keeping up with apple.

"Install Disk Creator will make you a bootable USB installer out of any USB disk you have laying around made from the macOS installer that you download from Apple."

Wow - thank you! I have a half-page of self-written documentation about turning an apple installer into a bootable USB that I hope to never have to use again ...
I don't have it polished enough for that, but the gist (no pun intended) is:

I keep all my documents in a single folder called ~/AAA (so it lists on top) with subfolders like /WORK, /PHOTOS /CODE (e.g. /CODE/GO), /MUSIC etc, so I can just rsync that and be totally backuped.

Inside ~/AAA I also have a folder called SYSTEM_FILES, where I keep stuff like bashrc, vim directory etc. My ~/.bashrc etc are just symlinks to ~/AAA/SYSTEM_FILES/bashrc.

So I start with a script that rsyncs the AAA folder from the backup disk to ~ on the Mac, and then creates the appropriate symlinks for .bashrc, .vimrc etc.

Now all my documents are on my Mac and I have a working shell.

Then the script does:

# install brew
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

# a number of brew related installs
brew install rsync
brew install mercurial
brew install watchman
brew install binutils
..

# some brew-driven font installs
brew tap caskroom/fonts
brew cask install font-roboto-mono
..

# install various linter-related stuff for my ST3
brew install -g node
sudo npm install -g eslint
sudo npm install -g eslint-plugin-import
sudo npm install -g eslint-plugin-react
sudo npm install -g babel-eslint
pip install flake8
pip install requests
..

# install various big packages from casks
brew cask install vagrant

# install mas -- a mac app store cli client
brew install mas

# use a wrapper script that extracts mas ids from the apps I want
~/mas_install.py Pixelmator
~/mas_install.py Skitch
~/mas_install.py Evernote
...

# use a shell script to copy .bashrc and co
# create symbolic links etc
~/prepare_environment.sh

# configure the Mac with various "defaults" options
defaults write NSGlobalDomain AppleShowAllExtensions -bool false
...

# finally the script sets up Mail.app, copies my Sublime Text packages to the ~/Library/Application Support etc.

For some reason wrapping myself in google.. Doesn't make me feel secure.
async/await as mentioned by the previous poster is "do-notation" for the asynchronous monad Promise<T> in modern ES/JS(/TS). It's not terribly different from the languages you mentioned, even if it is a different approach because the language started synchronous first. You don't have to do that much plumbing as with the bad old JS world of Node callbacks, just sprinkle the async/await as appropriate, make sure things stay in Promise<T> and write things do-notation style just about like you would write the equivalent synchronous code.

From what I've done async/await in ES (and C#) is easier to write than Go's equivalent, but we're hitting your mileage may vary territory.

In principle, eficheck could attest to the firmware's health to an Apple server. It's not entirely clear what it would accomplish UI-wise, though.

I also use software RAID. Nevertheless, it's not infallible. Recently a disk in one of the arrays went down, it got quickly replaced, but the server wouldn't boot. I had to connect via console and reinstall Grub - only then would the server boot and rebuild the array. A few weeks ago three disks failed at once. In cases like this the parent's notebook will be of limited use. In my experience traditional disks fail every 3-5 years - it's not something you can avoid.
Passive advertising is not an evil thing that needs to be eliminated. But when companies start building dossiers on all of us that even intelligence services would be jealous of, that is evil.

Unfortunately they don't (and probably can't) do it for everyone. What is needed is bug level compatibility with msoffice (including visual basic) and seemless interoperability (including add ons).

> All modern Intel CPUs will draw more than their rated TDP if you run them hard.

If hard does not include AVX I think that is not correct. All locked i5s and i7s stayed under or very near to their TDP. And also the K units, before overclocking. https://www.anandtech.com/show/10968/the-intel-core-i7-7700k... as example. However, I noticed that the reviewer mentioned that wasn't true for the 4790K and 6700K.

Could you elaborate on that? As in, the degree to which email is unsafe. I try to be security-conscious, but I just now realized that I often opt for email-type login even when presented with alternatives. Would using OAuth, Facebook or Github for login be safer than email? Or are the vectors of attack different, and is it difficult to compare the two? Or does it depend on whether I'm using GMail or something else?

Based on what I know, my impression is that email is significantly worse, and somehow I'd never considered that. But I'm not sure if I'm missing something...

This sounds like it _should_ be true, but unfortunately, Apple has a much much better track record of supporting its old devices that Google. So, yeah, the "service" might work, but what help is that if my 3-year old Android phone was hacked yesterday because Google (or OEMs) don't bother patching it any more?

I feel the need for a not-to-do list again.
