You're right, and I also see how this obvious observation is consistently and elegantly ignored in most scientific or philosophical arguments that try and promote some totally "objective" account of reality.

However, it's not really that surprising: Science over the centuries has steadily (and for it's time, justifiably) eroded the role of subjectivity in order to uncompromisingly get at what is consistently true (regardless of what we'd like to be true) and this process required being very suspicious of any subjective accounts that can't be measured.

That being said, perhaps the time has come to dig a bit deeper and in the same persistent and uncompromising way ask what does objectivity or subjectivity mean? What do they arise from and to whom? I don't know if any new technologies can be derived from having clearer insights to these questions, but I do feel that it would be time better spent than any untestable mind made artifact about what reality ultimately is.
Thanks for the feedback, and I 100% agree with you. We're working on it.

He joined after the Roadster went out of production, which had a proprietary Tesla powertrain, so this doesn't seem like an accurate summary, the Model S was also introduced half a year before he started in mid-2012.

Network Infrastructure - North Central US

Summary of impact: Between approximately 19:34 UTC and 21:04 UTC on 06 Nov 2017, customers in North Central US may have experienced degraded performance, network drops, or timeouts when accessing Azure resources hosted in this region. Engineers were aware of additional impact for customers using App Service in South Central US. Engineers determined that this was caused by an underlying Network Infrastructure Event in this region which remains under investigation.

Preliminary root cause: Engineers identified configuration change as the potential root cause.

Mitigation: Engineers performed a change to the service configuration to BGP and mitigate the issue.

Next steps: Engineers will continue to investigate to establish the full root cause in approximately 72 hours.

If you want to maintain documentation for different versions of the same software then consider AsciiBinder. http://asciibinder.org/

For example, Openshift Origin documentation uses it: https://docs.openshift.org/3.6/architecture/index.html

There is Mkdocs (http://www.mkdocs.org/) which is a static site generator targeted towards project documentation. This is more straight-forward and easier to maintain.
Both are open source software. You can give them a try and see if you can tailor them to your needs.
This solves the problem for your family, but doesn't solve it at large. There will still be parents who let their kids watch this. There will still be impressionable youths watching nazi propaganda. There will still be gullible people watching "The earth is flat" videos.

My compliments for fixing your link loading problem in short order.
It also has 6000+ unresolved issues reported, a lot of them open for 3-4 years with little hope of getting fixed. They keep rolling out half-baked support for the trendiest new JS frameworks, while basic parts of the IDE are falling apart every day. (For example, when opening the mentioned "Search Everywhere" dialog, sometimes it just doesn't receive focus. Good luck with that productivity.)

Meanwhile, after launch, the IDE grabs focus about six times while loading. Symbol navigation sometimes picks up random unrelated functions from ignored folders instead of the one sitting right beside the file, because it has the same name. Want autocomplete for that vertical-align's value? It just throws up every possible value for any CSS property.

Pretty bad when code editors running in a browser engine are getting more usable than your paid product.

Only when there's almost no cost to leaving, which in itself is a tax loophole.

That's not how corporation tax works. It's paid on profits and does not affect the competitiveness of the firm.
A decade of homelessness: Thousands in S.F. remain in crisis (2014)
To be honest, I am so thoroughly sick and tired of the zealotry in the FOSS community that I no longer have any desire to release software under a FOSS license.

Normally, I couldn't care less what someone does with any software I release, so I'd normally prefer to just release code under an MIT or Apache license, but I've reached the point where I honestly no longer want to help the free software movement grow, so I'd like to release my future personal projects under a subtly non-free license. Faircode looks like a very nice option. I remember Tuomo Valkonen, the creator of Ion, moving to a license that would ban LTS distributions from distributing outdated versions of his software (basically, every time he released a new version, all distributions carrying it have 28 days to remove the old version from their archives and replace it with the new one, no matter how stable the distribution is intended to be).

Honestly, the older I get, the more my views on free software are converging with Valkonen's. Half of the reason for the license change was because he was tired of LTS distros carrying old development versions filled with bugs that have already been fixed in newer versions (he was getting flooded with bug reports for things that had already been fixed), but the other half was that he was aggravated by free-software zealots and wanted to make sure he wasn't doing anything that could be seen as contributing to their movement, and he swore that all future software he releases would be closed-source.

I do agree that I wouldn't want to call it "open source", though.
It is easy to blame Apple (and other big companies) when the real problem is that governments are incapable of taming these companies.

SQL Server, R, and Shiny
One thing I would point out is that child prodigies typically regress to the mean; if you took her, say, 5yo IQ scores, they generally correlate something like r=.5 with final adult IQ scores, so if she was, say, 190 then (+6SD) you would expect an adult score averaging more like 145 now. Very impressive but not extraordinarily rare or historic. IQ scores don't really stabilize until about middle school, and this is one reason why selecting for really smart young kids doesn't work as well as if you wait until middle/high school to do your screening. (I think part of it is that child prodigies are as much about accelerated growth as about their final potential, and benefit from things like getting adult-levels of working memory much earlier than their peers, but I'm not really an expert on G&T stuff.)

Anyway, she may be one in a few million but only in the USA. Most of the world has much lower average IQ scores (unsurprisingly, given economic, medical, and educational conditions in poorer countries, which is most of the non-USA countries), and one of the properties of the normal distribution is that a shift in the mean reduces the extremes much more than you would expect, like 8x or more. So you may be overestimating the number of people globally by quite a bit.

Promethea's case is strange and sad, but the journalist notes that some of her excuses don't wash: lots of STEM grad students get stipends and financial support, and she should be able to get way more than your average grad student. Not to mention the many options she has for much better paying jobs than tutoring students - there's no way someone with her talent who was going to get a CS degree can't get a decent programming job or find another way to make money. I might be reading this into it, but I think she's just satisfied with her life and doesn't want to leave her mom.
I have a few contradictory thoughts on this.

On one hand, I really feel Chrome is more on my side than the average webmaster. I don't want bloated websites, I don't want autoplay videos, I don't want copy/paste blocked, I don't waste text copying hijacked so that a phrase has a referral link to the article, etc. If Chrome breaks a website functionality to over-write these things, good.

The downside is that Chrome is a very big player and by working outside of the system then the rest of the web loses on the spillover benefits.

This is hard, committees are slow, bureaucratic and massively resistant to change - and saying fuck it, I'll fix it properly for myself is a lot easier, and I have little patience for it myself. However, in the long ran this is probably better.

Even encoding schemes themselves have an information theoretic entropy level regardless of universe. Encoding schemes with less entropy can be considered more 'natural' - it's possible to come up with a measure of the 'naturalness' of encoding schemes in a pure mathematical sense without having to take into account entities beyond the mathematical realm.
>I'm pretty sure China would be quite happy if the US punishes Apple. That means that their protectionist policy towards Huawei will be even more effective.

If the US put onerous taxes on the purchase of Apple phones that might be true.

If the US instead just collects a larger share of Apple's profits then Apple is going to go on exactly as before and just not deliver quite as much cash to its shareholders.
How to find yourself in a meaningful work
I'm somewhat familiar with Ian's COLA work but am much more familiar with the Smalltalk related portions of the project since I'm currently working with some of those pieces of it. As I understand it, the original intention was to prototype the system in a Smalltalk image and eventually re-target the work to his COLA architecture via OMeta (which the higher-level stuff was written in so retargeting would be done via OMeta parsers and not require many (any?) higher level changes) I think they got some of the lower level things running that way (i.e. I think I recall seeing a demo of at least part of the Nile/Gezira work running as 'native' code but could be remembering it wrong) but due to time/money constraints I don't think they ever got completely there with it as their final demonstration artifact (FRANK) was Smalltalk image-based (plus a couple of plugins for performance). Take this explanation with a grain of salt as I admit to being a bit fuzzy as to how far they got with Ian's lower-level work...

What they were trying to do was demonstrate that they could build the entire system from highest level languages (i.e. the OMeta-based languages they wrote the system in) down to machine code (i.e. what the COLA stuff generated and runtime it provided which would replace the Smalltalk environment) in 20kloc and preserve linkages (i.e. chain-of-meaning) from the top to the bottom. While they may not have technically achieved everything they set out to, I'm sold that they were successful in proving the concept and that they could have gotten there (i.e. the parts they did deliver were impressive) at that order of magnitude in terms of lines of code.
This.

I'd love AMD to bloody Intel's nose (Intel deserves it after their payola anti-competitive behavior against AMD in the 2000's), but it's clear that Intel is too big to fail.

So AMD can win by helping Intel win.

It is not good in the long run for consumers, but it's probably the right move for AMD today.
As stated by the author, this is necessarily a speculative piece ("assuming that..."), but still worth reading -- as long as you keep that in mind. It makes no sense to criticize it or dismiss it for being speculative, as others have done here!

It's hard not to see this as bad for Tesla.

The one thing Tesla supporters have pointed to more than anything is that Tesla had a large head-start in battery tech over all of the competitors. So Chevy is shipping many more Bolts than Tesla is shipping all models combined, but Tesla's headstart in battery tech and manufacturing would keep them a contender.

Now their head of battery tech is gone and they've missed model 3 targets by a very wide margin due to problems with batteries.

I'm not sure how reliable their lead in batteries is right now.

There's still that supercharger network, though. I suspect we'll be hearing more about that now that other points in Tesla's favor are dwindling.

This has created a strange ecosystem for app stores in China, which depend on vulnerability exploitation in varying degrees for installation privileges.

Maybe some of the work is dual use, but the primary motivation for funding this kind of vuln discovery and exploit development seems to have been App Store ecosystem development in China.
Hmm, why is it limited? I'm interested in hearing your experiences.
Found the bug! Seems like the new behavior is non-compromisable, but keszybz and pottering both put forward potential solutions that leave everybody happy(?), but that haven't been acted on since July. So, there was some compromise between the requestors and developers, just not in the places I expected to find it in the bug report.

A checking account is closer to the intuitive "this account has X amount of money"; the transactions are "add X money to the account" and "subtract X money to the account".

With Bitcoin, it's as if you had thousands of tiny checking accounts, every time you received money created a new one, and you could withdraw each account only once, and always for the full value (if you wanted to use only part of an account, you had to send the rest to a new account).

> It baffles me that people ignore the fact that they have subjectivity when making these claims.

Do they? Everyone is entitled to their unquestioned assumptions as long as they state them outright and describe their parameters. I have yet to see dualists (which ultimately is at the base of this whole line of argumentation) admit that they posit subjective experience _without evidence_, since they equate asking questions and "seeing" things as subjective experience. It's worthwhile debating and deconstructing just exactly what that means before accepting it and its hoaky mystical follow-ons. The fact remains that no entity can successfully prove to another entity that it has inner experience, so how would proving you have subjectivity to _your own mind_ work? You can't, and probably, you don't bother, because it is somehow "self evident" that you have this property. The whole qualia and consciousness debate is riddled with circular reasoning about something that dualists just "feel." Well sometimes I feel like I might have the same thoughts as a jelly donut, go ahead and prove me wrong with math!

> I think people sort of push this point aside either by saying that qualia/subjectivity could be generated by math (or a computational process), and that's what really matters. But we have no examples of abstract math generating anything;

This is a bizarre and unsupportable statement. Clearly physical processes can carry out computation, which is a special case of mathematics (or vice versa, depending on what you got your doctorate in), and computation can produce statements in whatever language you desire, even English. Yes, chips and software stacks produce outputs, even in English. How is that not "generating" something? Ah, but you ask what is inside? Tons! There are gazillions of bits inside computers, and similarly gazillions of flashes in your neural circuitry. That's a whole lot of "inside". How do you know that it _doesn't_ feel like something to be all those twinkling bits? If you still accept without question that you do in fact have subjective experience, doesn't it stand to reason that if the neural network which absolutely definitely does correlate with your consciousness did feel like _anything_, then by definition it would have to feel like this?
