Herbert Simon talks a lot about this in Sciences of the Artificial. It turns out most of human thinking is just lists. I'm not sure if that still stands in the field of psychology (my version of the book is pretty old, from the 80s).

There's a good book (a little dense though) that might help with the more abstract thinking in the direction you're going. It's called "Human Machine Reconfigurations" and it's one of the more clever books I've come across on human machine interaction, written by an anthropologist/sociologist who also worked at PARC. So often the human part is what gets lost here.

Where can you eat for less than $10 besides McDonald’s or a pizza place?
Thanks. Making it more valuable is what I was getting at. I think more time spent with me or my wife doing what they want would help too.

Interesting point on finishing what you start in relation to a limited quantity of time. I'll have to see if that's something we do or not.
You just haven't realized the truth: that Unix and the internet have failed us massively and need to be completely reinvented from scratch by wise and benevolent engineers who have our interest at heart.

Curtis, in his eminent brilliance, was the first of us to realize this, and so became the first of these wise and benevolent engineers, forging a bright path for other open-minded people to follow.

Now come, let's get you changed into this robe and learning these chants. :)
Google signs agreement with HTC
6 years olds video to JoJo Siwa
If it is remote, I have a feeling we won't be seeing the presentation.
Exactly. One of the primary MOs of a cult is to hijack people's language and replace it with their own. It is a means of thought control, a method of creating a sense of belonging, and a way to make cult members feel superior about their "knowledge". Onecoin has become an outright prosperity cult in Asia. I see shades of the same everywhere in crypto.
The market isn't vegetarians/vegans. Their ultimate goal is reduction of environmental damage and greenhouse gases. Why try to sell to someone who already doesn't eat meat? The company is mission-driven and it wouldn't contribute to their cause.

The market is also too small. Reminds me of the apocryphal story of the 2 shoe salesmen in Africa: 1 says bad news, no one wears shoes. The other says good news, no one wears shoes.
For a very brief moment in time, there was some hope that AMD would release their equivalent as open source. That hope was dashed and they will be doing no such thing.

For the time being, ARM is making headway in creating usable chips for more serious computing. Well, I guess I should say designing, as opposed to making.

I do have current gen hardware and some older hardware, should it reach the point where I need to be concerned. Though, at least theoretically, a good hardware firewall should prevent this from being exploited but most consumers aren't going to invest the effort and money to do so.

I'm not really sure what this means for the future of personal computing. Like you say, nothing is going to change. They will continue to roll things like this out onto unexpecting users.

I don't have a problem with this being included, but I do have a problem with it not being something you can disable. In fact, I'd prefer it to be off by default. I suppose it'd be okay to have it configured by the OEM, as some large orders may wish it in by default.

Either way, it is insecure by design and they show no signs of changing that. It's rather disappointing. I have read, but not yet verified, that AMD's version can be turned off in the BIOS. That also assumes that off means actually off.

> bandwidth

How does this industry manage to fuck up usage of very specific technical terms so often.

Bandwidth is the speed. The hint is in the name. Wider means more at once.

You're almost certainly talking about the amount of data transfered.

The most depressing part is seeing hosting companies use the same incorrect terminology.
That's not really how food/biology works. In this case the leghemoglobin is a protein that will be destroyed during digestion, come nowhere near the bloodstream, and is a protein not a small molecule (there can't be alternative chirality involved in a protein produced in a eukaryote).

As the protein is eaten it's broken down into the same small molecules and amino acids as every other protein eaten. Don't inject it into your bloodstream, and don't eat 100% by mass any individual thing and you'll be fine. Such a protein is likely less dissimilar biochemically to eating meat then eating an 'exotic' vegetarian dish.
>“Japanese food was created here, and only Japanese know it,” Mr. Kadowaki said in an interview. “How can a bunch of foreigners show up and tell us what is good or bad?”

I feel like this has a xenophobic undertone to it; nobody's showing up anywhere, it's a guide which attempts to find good restaurants and food around the globe; what makes the Japanese in his view so specially qualified to judge the food? If the food was only found to be tasteful for Japanese tastes then I doubt it would have made its way into the Michelin guide, no?
And apologists assuring people there is nothing to get worried about, dismissing concern as conspiracy theory and demanding 'concrete' evidence of wrong doing.

Given recent history skepticism must move to these individuals and their motives.
Agree, although my opinion is admittedly influenced by the volume of packages we receive from Amazon delivered by UPS (although USPS seems to be delivering more these days). We tend to have the same UPS delivery person who generally knows the ins-and-outs of the neighborhood to the point where we had a package mis-labeled with the wrong address (same street, missing digit) and he recognized the error and delivered it without our intervention. We tend to receive far fewer Fedex deliveries, but generally if there's a delivery issue it's with them.
Seriously. This is a neat feature, but completely violates POLA.
Basic Income Advocate Running for Assembly in the East Bay
Yes, "central planning" works for large projects. But running a large project is nothing like running an economy.

In large projects, you generally have a major single, measurable goal (interstate highways, a man on the moon, a nuclear weapon) and may have lots of little milestones and spinoffs along the way.

An economy is millions of little goals - some complementary, some competitive - that might add up to something larger but no one knows. But most of are okay with it because some portion of those people will be able to meet their goals and strive for bigger ones.
> Dark patterns may help profits in the short-term, but they're terrible for your brand. Just ask TicketMaster.

TicketMaster's customers are people selling tickets, not those buying them.

Their entire business model is based around burning their own reputation, not the reputation of whoever's selling through TicketMaster. That's why they can get away with using dark patterns to make more money for their customers and themselves - consumers don't have a choice.
Because Risk is risky. Even brilliant professional investors have deals which go bad. Passing a test does not remove the bankrupcy problem.
Somebody put up cash on the barrelhead, a bounty for the Urbit developers and hypemen to develop an actual app -- a simple strip-poker game -- in Urbit.

There were no takers.

The question of "but what can you actually do with it?" went unanswered by Urbit's own promoters, even when they were incentivized with real cash money to come up with an answer.
Dinnerly is $6/portion and pretty basic.
As much as I like queues, RabbitMQ has some downsides compared to a database.

First, you get zero visibility into what's in the queue. There's literally no way to peek inside a queue without taking messages from it. Let's say one of the fields of your messages is customer_id. There's no way to get a count of how many messages are waiting that are related to customer 123.

This leads to the next problem: If the customer_key is something you want to partition by, you could create one queue per customer and then use a routing key to route the messages. But Rabbit queues are very rigid, as opposed to fluid. It's pretty inconvenient to move stuff between queues. So if you have one queue, and you want to split it into N queues, the only way is to drain the queue and republish each message back to the exchange. Rabbit provides no command line or management tools to do this, and neither does anyone else that I know.

Lastly, Rabbit deletes acked messages. To get any visibility into the history of your processing -- or indeed play back old messages -- you have to build that into your topology/apps, e.g. by having an exchange that dupes all messages into a queue and then run a consumer that drains it into a database table or log file.

I much like the "log" approach to queueing, as popularized by Apache Kafka. However, Kafka has its issues, and sometimes a database table is better.

The pattern I rather like to use is to use Rabbit purely for queue orchestration. Make a task table, use NOTIFY to signal that a row has been added (with ID as payload), have a worker use LISTEN and stuff each task's ID into Rabbit. Then have consumers get the Rabbit message, read (and lock!) the corresponding task, perform the task, then mark the task as done. If you need to replay or retry failed tasks, just use SQL to emit NOTIFYs again.
No one is talking about tank man.

We are talking about the people who were crushed by tanks in the square.

Really, most were shot, which is how I'd deal with a trouble maker being filmed like tank man.

But there is evidence of tanks crushing people as per my link, which is WHY tank man is famous (plus he was photographed, other people did do it too).

Are you doubting tanks rolled over and killed people?
Important bit:

> That’s why we’ve signed an agreement with HTC, a leader in consumer electronics, that will fuel even more product innovation in the years ahead. With this agreement, a team of HTC talent will join Google as part of the hardware organization. These future fellow Googlers are amazing folks we’ve already been working with closely on the Pixel smartphone line, and we're excited to see what we can do together as one team. The deal also includes a non-exclusive license for HTC intellectual property.
I don't know how this works but it would be better if ratings would be for specific meals only, that way chefs wouldn't stress out trying new variations.
I make it forget bad networks so it wont connect to them by default your workflow is poor.
Time to install is much faster, bundle install is just so damn slow.

And now that I'm not a ruby dev any more, I don't install a modern ruby on my computer.
On the one hand, this makes total sense to me. On the other, how could Google not have sounded out their partners before deciding to compete with them? When you buy something for $12 billion, hopefully there's a little forethought involved.

Also, does anybody know what the Motorola acquisition and sale cost them? They kept pieces of it, so I can't tell right away how it worked out.
Are Robots Good Fiduciaries? Regulating Robo-Advisors
Perhaps I'm comparing apples to oranges but my USPS guy who is the same nice man for at least the last 10 years, has been much more reliable than either the FedEx or UPS delivery staff.

He even collected the strewn around mail from our mailbox the other day and visited us to let us know that someone has likely been stealing our mail and that we should check our credit cards. I'll miss him when he retires soon.
That doesn't say anything about the cost of sidewalk relative to the cost of building a road. And that's retail prices, specced out by square footage. When you're building sidewalks at the scale of entire cities it's definitely cheaper.

You need to find a source that shows what the cost to the government is per mile of road versus mile of sidewalk. You can't compare retail prices of sidewalk that would be charged to homeowners to what the government is paying to build a road.
I'm not convinced Google is really trying to make their hardware competitive. They are just using it to up the Android game and focus on specific features they may feel other manufacturers aren't doing a great job with or not highlighting, which is currently their assistant, as well as having a more intimate connection to some enthusiasts. Google's goal is to get many devices dependant on their ecosystem. Directly competing with other companies that use Android would not work in their interest. I hope I'm wrong though, Google directly backing a competitive and available consumer device could really put smartphones into a better territory of cost and support. Currently Samsung is quite halfhearted; while I think their hardware is great their support is more like the support one gets from a fridge than such an important and personal information device, it just doesn't compare to Apple's support.
What was the Ticketmaster expose?

Not that I would be the least surprised by any kind of scandal from those thugs but I haven't heard anything recently.
This is from 2009. From what I've heard, things have actually improved substantially.
The 'best' part about it is that they don't even have to leave it on a train. This is progress!
Searching for pho gets you photography... kind of annoying :)
Your thoughts on cleverness reminded me of this quote from David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest.

Talent is sort of a dark gift ... talent is its own expectation: it is there from the start and either lived up to or lost....

Here is how to avoid thinking about any of this by practicing and playing until everything runs on autopilot and talent's unconscious exercise becomes a way to escape yourself, a long waking dream of pure play.

The irony is that this makes you very good, and you start to become regarded as having a prodigious talent to live up to...
If you live in a monoculture, I guess it doesn't matter.

But as an atheist of Jewish descent, what do I say to my co-workers, who are from Turkey, India, Korea and China? Of those who I know to follow a religion, none are Christian. It would feel outright silly to say "Merry Christmas".

(For comparison, try saying "Happy Hanukkah" to your non-Jewish friends as a non-Jewish person when the season comes, and see if it makes much sense to you).
Not saying this is a nice thing to do, but they do it because it works, no? Didn't someone (JC Penny?) try getting rid of this constant "on sale/coupon" crap but that had a negative effect on their business?

If something is constantly "70% off" (especially non digital goods and services), shouldn't consumers stop for a second and think how this makes sense?
not even a price yet.
Broad strokes (and very simplistic) philosophy...

Patents are most useful for inventions that can be easily reverse engineered. If the competition can disassemble a unit and create their own derivative from the knowledge gained, a patent blocks the use of a derivative while not revealing anything that would not be revealed by reverse engineering anyway.

If an invention is very difficult to reverse engineer, it is better to keep it a trade secret because the competition (ideally) will not be able to create a derivative via reverse engineering. In this case, a patent will reveal information that a competitor would otherwise not be able to discover e.g. by reverse engineering.
The most important feature of monads definitely isn't composition, because they don't compose well at all. Monad composition is the worst feature, by far, because it doesn't exist.

>Also, as someone in the Haskell industry, I think you're wrong about trends. The last 5 or so years have been an accelerating trend of Haskell adoption. Of course it is still dwarfed by most other languages, but the number of multi-million dollar contracts I've seen executed in Haskell has been multiplying.

That's my point: that's the hype cycle, and it's now peaking as people realise what a lot of effort it is to actually use monads in reality with the awful complexity of monad transformer stacks and such.
Ok, clearly I am drawing the wrong inference from this tool, but I think the point still remains valid. insofar as it matters whether your beef was ground, the statistics you should care about are outbreak statistics. The reason that ground beef is less safe than steak is that pathogens from thousands of cows are evenly distributed among the entire slurry. This would absolutely be captured in outbreak statistics.

After the relevant processing, the argument for cooking burgers to 160 is no different from the argument to cook your lettuce to 160.
I imagine FedEx thinks of the drivers as partners rather than "temporary commodities". It's a franchise model or close enough. McDonald's calls their analogues, "owner/operators." That's no slur.
You mean like this from last month where they listed the same hotel in New York City as both a 3 star and a 4 star:

Yes, and 99% of the code running in a React Native app is written in Objective-C, because they are native widgets and native libraries (often just the AppKit widget or a wrapper around it). That's why it's called React Native.

The JS runtime is only used to choreograph different native components. It's like a .xib or storyboard but with the ability to do logic. This code runs at user input speed so the relative performance characteristics are irrelevant.
I'm confused. Is this just saying that Urbit supposed to replace my Windows desktop and all the cloud services I use?

Also, what does "Urbit's formal semantics makes ships trivial to migrate" mean?
Affordances like that went into the grave with Steve, as far as I can tell.
Chef here.

I grind my own beef, and there is no way I would want to eat a burger pattie cooked well done.

If you are worried that your mince may not be safe to eat - why the hell are you buying it?
We don't right now. We're a car insurance carrier that uses our mobile app to gather data as people drive. Since all of our customers have our app installed, we haven't looked to building a web app version yet. Although we could reuse some logic on the web, the overlap would be minimal. Most of the code is centered around the UI, and a web app would likely have a very different interface. It would be nice to share some business logic functions, although we tend to not put much of that in the client anyway. Most of it happens server-side, with client hitting APIs to check business rules.
So identity, IoT, and literally everything in between.

I most impressed by the "less is more" category of photos he took. The clean lines, simplicity of shapes while maintaining enough contrast to be beautiful is just astounding. Had no idea that these kind of shapes happened with snowflakes.
And who is that in Europe? I tried both Agoda and Hotels.com without much success.
I find it strange too, though that may be because of the type of locations I stay. I don't seen any reason for customer loyalty to a single booking site. There is very little friction to just use the hotels own booking sites. For each town I stay in there is usually two or three hotels to choose from that have online booking (occasionally I have to make a phone call to book since there are no hotels with online booking.) From those two or three, I sort them by price, and work from the cheapest to the most expensive until I find the cheapest that I think will provide what I want, and book using that hotels site. Occasionally it is booking.com, but more often than not, it is the Motel 6 corporate site or the Comfort Inn corporate site or similar.

I also never look at reviews since my experience has found that reviews are useless to me. I think reviewers tend to care about things I don't, and have had excellent experiences at places with generally bad reviews.

Kodak innovated too early, too. They had the first digital cameras. They were producing digital cameras through the 1990s and the 2000s.

Their problem was that they were fundamentally a chemicals company. They weren't as good as consumer electronics as the Japanese consumer electronics companies, and they weren't as good at the web as Silicon Valley web companies.

And, ultimately, they wanted to milk the chemical film business as long as they could and perpetually overestimated the popularity of film cameras versus digital.

That reminds me of a passage from Robert Caro's Master of the Senate:

"Vote-counting" -- predicting legislators' votes in advance -- is one of the most vital of the political arts, but it is an art that few can master, for it is peculiarly subject to the distortions of sentiment and romantic preconceptions. A person psychologically for intellectually convinced of the arguments on one side of a controversial issue feels that arguments so convincing to him must be equally convincing to others. And therefore, as Harry McPherson puts it, "Most people tend to be much more optimistic in their counts than the situation deserves... True believers were always inclined to attribute more votes to their side than actually existed."
Every headline from Techcrunch disrupt that I have seen has been directly contradicted in some way in the video. For example, Vitalik Buterin spends about 10% of his talk explaining why not everything will be or should be decentralized. The title of his video? "Decentralize Everything with Vitalik Buterin"
So confused. So in essence, Google bought a team from HTC?

Pretty sure some of the Harmonic Drive patents have lapsed. Cone Drive is now making some very similar products.
Random things that strike me about this deal:

- HTC's stock price has been going down for the past 5 years, and EPS was down sharply recently. Does this make HTC more or less viable on its own going forward?

- Apple finally made a VR push with the upcoming macOS High Sierra and iMac Pro—along with the HTC Vive. Google didn't fully acquire HTC here, and HTC's trajectory was already tied to Android, but still seems an interesting wrinkle there.

- Samsung continues to hedge their bets, most recently with Bixby. Really wonder if Google's continued hardware investment will make them seek more of their own path.

- Why would Google acquire just a team from HTC? Seems like the oddest of acquihires yet.
