Yeah i agree with you...however, there should eventually be some sort of de facto standardization with the most frequent types of data sets, right? One would think, i guess? For example, LibreOffice, OpenOffice, and MS word can all open and edit .doc files. So, while the myriad webapps would have different data structures which are not compatible for the long tail...i can imagine scenarios where common app categories - e.g. doc editing, note taking, ToDo apps, etc. - would eventually crystallize around some sort of "common enough" standard that would allow for remoteStorage users to benefit. Hey, markdown isn't yet as consistent, but the files are "transferable enough", right? Anyway, i'm optimistic of remoteStorage and certainly hope it gets used alot more.
On one hand, 100 TBq is less than a thousands of a gram of Ruthenium 106. On the other hand, anybody handling radioactive samples with terabecquerel activity will be very very aware that they are handling a lot of radioactivity. So my guess is, either an accident or an breach of safety protocols at a nuclear facility. Either way, the source is most likely aware that something did go wrong.
Since they aren't now, they won't be in 5 years either.

Swift apps won't be maintainable because it makes writing clever code so easy, so nobody will understand them.

It makes perfect sense in the enterprise space to facilitate the illusion of management control (there is a good reason the IT dept trope is so widespread). LOM has been a thing on servers since forever. And absent some enormous financial incentive, it's absurd to think that Intel would go through this much trouble to architect something like this with a primary goal of providing American three letter agencies a backdoor. On the other hand, the magic killswitch you guys put in equally obviously was requested by them, this thing basically makes anything with an Intel desktop CPU unusuable in a high-security context.

But given the already well-known threat model at the time this thing was conceived of self-propagating malware, creating a technology that is embedded in every single device with a desktop CPU that can't be turned off, makes the device unusable without it, and has remote compromise bugs that can succeed while the target is "off" was certainly a bad idea.
Dictatorships can be extremely good or extremely bad. Anti corruption moves, if true, are much easier to pull off with bureaucracy (and laws) out of the way. I'm hoping it will go back to the days of the French or Ottoman empires.
Excellent point. Saying vagina in the Netherlands isn't a big deal, in the US the FCC would be calling your boss.
This is how I feel -> I've treated every device I've had for the last decade as if it were compromised, because who can prove to me otherwise? I certainly don't have the expertise to verify for myself.

What I found is that, in high volume auto plans, humans are used for tasks like pulling wiring harnesses into the vehicle (through grommets, etc), plugging in connectors, things like that. The major body work and positioning/lifting/welding/painting is done by robots, and often there are human-guided robots for difficult tasks such as lifting 100+lb seats into place in the chassis. The robot handles the weight, the human just guides the seat into place.

They don't care about being family friendly, they want to be advertiser friendly. It's harder to sell ads on a controversial platform.

I find it hard to blame youtube for that frankly. They're a completely rational actor here. If you decide to tie all your income from a 3rd party platform who doesn't care about you and what you're doing you have to have a contingency plan for when you'll get screwed over. It's the same story with people developing app store apps, except arguably worse because it's more straightforward to monetize your applications without having to rely on ads or 3rd party services.

I think this complaining by big creators is rather pointless because they have nothing to bargain with. Most of them need youtube a lot more than youtube needs them, with the possible exception of maybe a few very high profile youtubers.

As long as Youtube won't have any serious competition nothing will change on that front I'm afraid. The network effect is too strong, you can't just start self-hosting and expect to get a similar exposition.

> We used to let our 3 y/o watch youtube. She learned lots of things from there which was amazing. Colors, Numbers, the alphabet; all by the time she was 2. I'm not a teacher by any means so it was awesome to see this happen.

It's entirely possible the videos made this happen, or at least helped, but some kids just develop that stuff crazy-early. My daughter saw little video content before age two, and very little Youtube, but achieved all the same in the same timeframe with only basic work on our part. It was natural for her—she broke a 200-word working vocabulary by 14 months, could already count sets of things under ten, could name most letters of the alphabet, and so on. By age 2 she sounded like your average 4-year-old. Youtube had nothing to do with it, and we barely had anything to do with it. That was just her.

My son, on the other hand...

I'm fascinated by how much of modern business practice already existed 4 millennia ago. With minor changes, this could have been written today.

Although now that I think about it, maybe I shouldn't be surprised. This is basically the age of the code of Hammurabi [1], and a good chunk of that is about commerce. E.g. the section on giving receipts:

"104. If a merchant give an agent corn, wool, oil, or any other goods to transport, the agent shall give a receipt for the amount, and compensate the merchant therefor. Then he shall obtain a receipt form the merchant for the money that he gives the merchant.

105. If the agent is careless, and does not take a receipt for the money which he gave the merchant, he can not consider the unreceipted money as his own.

106. If the agent accept money from the merchant, but have a quarrel with the merchant (denying the receipt), then shall the merchant swear before God and witnesses that he has given this money to the agent, and the agent shall pay him three times the sum.

107. If the merchant cheat the agent, in that as the latter has returned to him all that had been given him, but the merchant denies the receipt of what had been returned to him, then shall this agent convict the merchant before God and the judges, and if he still deny receiving what the agent had given him shall pay six times the sum to the agent."

That's the truth. Swift makes it easy to build clever, unmaintainable code.

The beauty of Objective-C is it is readable! And then easily maintainable.

Can't agree more with this. And there are all kinds of ancillary benefits. Read more, and you become a better writer almost by osmosis. Read anything and everything; there's almost nothing that is so dreckful that there aren't nuggets of useful information buried within - I've probably learned almost as much history from the reams of historical fiction and political thrillers that I've churned through for pure entertainment. I don't think there's a faster, more economical way to amass knowledge.

“You mentioned that three of the top six ingredients in Honey Nut Cheerios are sugar, brown sugar and honey,” Mike Siemienas, a spokesman for the company, wrote in a statement. “What you didn’t mention is that the number one ingredient is oats. To be so singularly focused on one ingredient — sugar — is irresponsible and doesn’t help consumers look at the total nutrition offered.”

I thought Apple also dislikes the GPL because it forced them to open source the original implementation of Objective-C. (I don’t remember where I heard this... something about the origins of llvm probably.)

One issue is that in the UK, there is a tax called "National Insurance" or NI, which was originally intended to fund unempoyment benefits. As an employee, you have to pay a certain % of your wages. But the employer also has to pay a percentage of your salary, and they can't just deduct it from your wage. So, for Uber drivers on a minimum wage (£7.50 an hour), the 13.8% that Uber will pay will bump that up to approx £9 an hour that Uber has to pay. Then they will also require Employer's Liability Insurance (as the drivers are employees), will have to offer pension provision (legally required for all full-time employees in the UK), etc.
For all the gripes about cloud computing, the fact that amateurs can set up a website but also have one-click backups and redundancy is worth something. There’s a lot of offbeat web history that’s gone forever because someone’s hard drive crashed.

I believe you.

But looking at the International Obfuscated C Code Contest (http://www.ioccc.org/) entries, and knowing how much I have to force my eyes not to glaze over whenever a college sends me a 700 line pull-request, if one of your colleagues waited until the deadline to send a massive pull-request for their part of the project, can you say that the deadline is pushed back until every single line is meticulously analyzed by hand, to assert that nothing nefarious could possibly happen with their code?

Just one of your coworkers would need to believe in a greater purpose, for king and country, and grown up in a large family with a brother or cousin who's a part of the intelligence community.

It sounds far-fetched, but so does the Bay of Pigs.
Youtube went the wrong direction with ad targeting. It chased after huge brand advertising budgets while essentially trying to portray Youtube as equivalent to TV.

If they had instead aimed to make Youtube more similar to Adwords in terms of trying to show content-relevent ads on the right content, much of this wouldn't have become an issue later on with people basically spamming Google and the wrong ads showing up on irrelevant content.
unless its oats and you need carbs
No its not. Companies care about their brand and have always wanted some assurance that their ads don't show up in something controversial.

There is actually a really simple solution here that nobody wants to talk about.

What exactly are you slyly implying but not explicitly stating about Alan Turing, and where did you hear it? Which source documents did you read, and what did they say that contradicts Hodge's book? Links or scans please!

Hodges mentioned in personal email we exchanged that there's some conspiracy theorist who was spreading unsubstantiated rumors that Turing didn't actually commit suicide. And then of course there's another whack job conspiracy theorist jackass's reprehensible homophobic essay "Abusing Alan Turing" which you can search for but I won't link to.

If you're getting your information from that guy (and I certainly hope by "source documents" you don't mean his blog), then I suggest you read some of the other things he's written to get an idea of what kind of a person you're getting your information from. (Hint: add "blacks", "low IQ", "violent" to your search query.)

If instead you like reading actual source documents and the testimony of people who knew Alan Turing first hand, the preface to The Collected Works of A.M. Turing: Morphogenesis (P. T. Saunders, Editor) was written by P. N. Furbank, his close friend and legal executor, and explicitly endorses Hodge's book in a good light:

"Indeed, with the aid of Andrew Hodges's excellent biography,
A.M. Turing: the Enigma, even non-mathematicians like myself have some idea
of how his idea of a "universal machine": arose - as a sort of byproduct of
a paper answering Hilbert's "Entscheidungsproblem"." -P. N. Furbank

I typed in the preface to Morphogenesis, and scanned the drawing inside the front cover by Alan Turing's mother of her son watching the daisies grow:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15670473

http://donhopkins.com/home/archive/Turing/Morphogenesis.txt

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P._N._Furbank

If for some irrational reason you choose to believe in the pseudoscience of Intelligent Design, then you might not like to hear what Turing thought about that, which P. T. Saunders mentions in the foreword to Turing's collected works, citing what Hodges wrote about and quoted Robin Gandy saying in his "excellent biography":

For Turing, however, the fundamental problem of biology had always been to
account for pattern and form, and the dramatic progress that was being made
at that time in genetics did not alter his view. And because he believed
that the solution was to be found in physics and chemistry it was to these
subjects and the sort of mathematics that could be applied to them that he
turned. In my view, he was right, but even someone who disagrees must be
impressed by the way in which he went directly to what he saw as the most
important problem and set out to attack it with the tools that he judged
appropriate to the task, rather than those which were easiest to hand or
which others were already using. What is more, he understood the full
significance of the problem in a way that many biologists did not and still
do not. We can see this in the joint manuscript with Wardlaw which is
included in this volume, but it is clear just from the comment he made to
Robin Gandy (Hodges 1983, p. 431) that his new ideas were "intended to
defeat the argument from design".

It might be healthier to have honey and eat nuts seperately than to eat Honey Nut Cheerios. Any food that appears healthy but is not is more dangerous than foods that appear unhealthy in plain sight.
All cereals are just loaded with carbs. Some are still marketed as "healthy" though. I think people just like the taste and some of the marketing makes them think it's good for them.
I'd posit it's hard to know what the dynamic would be. Consider certain luxury goods (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veblen_good) where increasing the price increases the demand. (Conveniently, economists have a model and also a name for things that don't follow the model. The universe can be divided into bananas and non-bananas.)

Cleveland isn't a prestigious world-class city attractive to the wealthy, but if new luxury condos in a tier-1 city come online, it may induce demand from wealthy/speculators who would not otherwise have considered that city, or were picking between alternatives. (Investment, signaling/status-seeking, etc.)

Treated as an investment vehicle, increasing supply (e.g., having an IPO where no shares existed before) can unlock latent demand (people divert income into that investment and drive up the price). Perhaps housing needs to be modeled as a mix of investment, local demand for shelter, status symbol, tax haven, political baton (keeping existing homeowners above water), etc.

Again, not sure how housing actually behaves but it seems complex enough to defy my econ 101 understanding.
The fact that you want more is irrelevant. You may be unhappy and believe that more money will make you happier, but it could be just a false belief or a bias.

Start putting money away in a Roth IRA early and often. Max out your contributions every year. Odds are your tax bracket is lower now than it will be later on, and that $5500 adds up.

Also, if you have to, you can withdraw your contributions (but not any gains) without penalty - since a Roth is post-tax - so it can serve as a savings account, one with considerably better rates of return than the abysmal interest a regular savings account provides.
The serving size for Cheerios is 1 cup. The serving size for Honey Nut Cheerios is 3/4 cup, in order to make it look like the sugar content is "only" 9 grams. It's actually 11 grams, which is amongst the highest of all cereals. So, yeah I was fooled by that trick. Won't happen again though. Gotta start checking serving size now, dammit.
YouTube hosts, monetizes, and promotes their content for free, and you're upset they can't curse as much anymore.

People like Philip Defranco, while still pointing out the damage YouTube is doing to the ecosystem, monetize outside of YouTube to maintain control of their product. If the people you watch don't have a Patreon / Sponsors / merch, they are willingly submitting to the YouTube monetization algorithm. It feels kind of entitled to want to get money from YouTube ads, but not produce content that those advertisers are willing to place ads on.

In my jurisdiction, any and all advertisement aimed at children is illegal, full stop. It continuously amazes me that this is not the norm in the rest of the world.
The only interesting thing I found was this:

'Serving sizes are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, and can change if a cereal’s density changes. It appears that at some point in the last 10 or 15 years, General Mills tweaked the ingredients of Honey Nut Cheerios in a way that lowered the overall weight per serving, which had the effect of helping lower the stated sugar content.'

I wasn't aware that the FDA regulated serving sizes, or that they could change based on a recipe change. Will make me double check before and after stats on any product that claims "now X% less sugar/fat/etc".

First we should define what "healthy" is. I think it is like "love" - left deliberately ambiguous and everyone imagines a slightly different meaning.

Think of a "healthy" food. Now, imagine that is the only thing a person eats for years. Do you think this will make them healthy? Doubtful. We need a variety of foods for good health. Is a pure-sugar lollipop healthy? Most would agree that it isn't, but if you only ate one a couple times a year, I doubt there would be any ill-effects.

My point is slapping the term "healthy" or "unhealthy" on foods is meaningless without also including the concept of dosage and in relation to a healthy overall diet.

Since the original NeXT Objective-C compiler was written as an extension to GCC, and GCC has always been (at least perceived) as some sort of legal minefield WRT licensing, this doesn't seem so far-fetched.

EDIT: specified I was talking about the compiler used on the NeXT.
