Alcohol is outlawed in many contexts, though they vary from place to place. In some (all?) countries, likewise tobacco. These are combined with large scale government advertising campaigns that start in school, which only differ from propaganda in that I think they are true (but then, if they were fake and I’d fallen for it, how would I know? Lots of people in my original country fear the drug Ecstasy, but that government lied - and continues to lie - about the dangers, and the poster-girl of the anti-Ecstasy talks at school died of a water overdose that only happened because of previous, different, bad anti-drugs advice).

Also, there are many ways to fool people that still work even if the victim knows about them, and the pain of being told one has been fooled means every technique the victim knows can (and often will) be rattled off as a fully generic counter-argument to whoever tells them that they have been fooled.
Maybe in 15 years... toddlers nowadays have so many smartphone cameras being pointed at them for their mom's Instasnapbooktwit feed, they will probably grow up being used to have lenses pointed at them.
Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying- why is it not the point? If you were
trying to prove that Java is Turing-complete you wouldn't look at all the Java
programs ever written and try to build a Turing machine with those programs.
Instead, you'd use the symbols in the language to write a (new) program that
simulates a Turing machine, or a set of functions that suffice to prove Turing
completeness.

The proof the author has given is equivalent to building a Turing machine out
of existing programs in his language of interest. M:tG cards have instructions
printed on them in the ability text language - so those instructions, rather
than the cards themselves are the symobls in the language. The cards are best
seen as scripts or small programs written in that language.

But why should anyone restrict themselves to existing cards when trying to
prove the Turing completeness of the language?

Note, also, that the rules of well-formed sentences in the ability text
language are given in the M:tG Comprehensive Rules or at least some of them
are- there's no complete formal definition of the language. Still, there's
plenty enough for anyone to be able to form syntactically correct
ability text.

So, again- if you're trying to prove the Turing completeness of a language,
why would you not use the full expressive power of the language to compose new strings? And instead
restrict yourself to just a few pre-existing strings of it?

Tangent: please don't downvote someone asking questions, people. I for one had not considered that electric motors have no gears to shift, and wondered "surely both cars are automatic? Does Tesla have a patent on a faster automatic transmission or something?" so I appreciated someone asked.
Similarly, Windows 10 Mobile didn't take off either. Before that, even Windows Phone became a failure.

I was really excited when I got my Lumia 920 [0]: The OS was just so solid, sleek, and fast. Too bad Microsoft didn't put adequate effort into it. It's as if they couldn't care less about this OS.

In a sense we did get it, the research into optical computing didn't lead to photonic cpu's, any advantages of optical computing are mute when each building block can't scale below a few square micrometers due to limits on the physics.

However, the research did find it's way into telecom, high speed multiplexing switches, with massive bandwidth in a compact formfactor would not have been economically viable without photonics.
Tentacles everywhere.
If anything, it’s going to be even more applicable. I don’t see much in the way of air intakes. No intakes——epic fail on the track.
Because of economics of scale, you design one versatile truck chassis. That can then be easily modified like longer vs. shorter for the super structure, the driver cabin is modified in size so that you have a sleeping possibility or not and all those things.

Just take a look, the very same long haul truck is also used by the construction workers. Only the the cabin is a little bit shorter.
Postgre will be good for 99.99% of all workloads. And when you need something else, you should have enough revenue to migrate the parts that make sense to a different datastore.

What could you dispute? You authorized the charges and received what you paid for (classes).

That said, training (unless it's useful outside the job) must be paid for by the employer. For example a pool can require CPR training for their lifeguards because you can use that outside being a lifeguard, but Starbucks can't require you to pay for their class because knowing how to make a starbucks drink is too specific.
I found this article (it's in Dutch not English) about Wim Hof very... well, interesting: https://www.hetvondelpark.net/Vondelnieuws/DeStuntVanDeIcema...

TLDR: he put his ass on a water fountain in the middle of a public park to flush his bowel but the pressure was so high that he ended up in the hospital with perforated intestines and nearly died.
I would like to think the open web has not lost yet, and that progressive web apps still have a great chance of taking over. Nobody wants to develop apps for at least three platforms. Nobody wants half their user base use old versions. Nobody wants to fear being dropped from some walled garden without any recourse.

There are still good technical reasons for some native apps, but that will dwindle more and more.
It's huge in prototyping and is being used to build parts that can't be made any other way. Just never took off for personal use.

Facebook. I was convinced "social" was just a fad. Played around with the app platform in undergrad in 2008 but thought it would be stupid to build something completely reliant on a 3rd party social platform. I had the opportunity to join FB pre-IPO in 2010 but I still thought it was a fad that couldn't last. I just don't get social.
Anecdotally I've heard from my partner who works in public healthcare that a lot of poorer countries are coming up with more sustainable health care systems because they have the luxury of learning fromthe mistakes of US and other western countries. Most 3rd world countries are building out their infrastructure now so they have benefit of any greenfield operation.

The US is suffering from the healthcare version of crippling technical debt (and cultural issues around that).
I wonder how long the trick of masking problems with announcements will work.
Is it the same projects/ code for all clients? If so do they get the same built product? 1 backlog.

Different code for different clients? Many backlogs.

Projects share code base maybe?

Then you need Prioritization, planning and if you don't have that as a prerequisite then do Kanban maybe.

It sounds like you cannot split the team and depending you could just have 1 product owner or a proxy PO.

If clients need to approve designs that's design and backlog grooming- once the story is ready move it into a ready state (tag or state attribute)

If you're reactive then kanban works better than sprints but of course depends on your environment, product/project mix, support vs product dev, and team composition

Twitter CEO reacts to alleged serial killings
I can assure you there are delays. Plenty and some of them 1h long. There are communities of commuters that register trains delays on web pages, everyday there's something. Just yesterday half of my office was empty in the morning because of 1h+ outage. True, Shinkansen is really strict, but normal urban lines? Cooome on, pleople, you wouldn't believe they never delay, would you? And if it happens... Oh boy, you don't want to be out there. Usually tracks are blocked so no more trains for the outage duration, and very rarely outage is covered properly by other lines (unless in central Tokyo). Then everyone rush to the bus station, which looks like can of sardines. Generally if you are entering the station in the morning and see ocean of heads flooding the gates (I mean, head next to head, and moving slowly or not moving at all) you can be sure that day will be an adventure. Oh, and don't forget to take outage confirmation paper which station's staff are handing to everyone so you can have excuse for being late at work. :)

Is everyone in Silicon Valley so out of touch? Those hospitals presumably have to pay someone to take pictures, upload to watsi the profile, manage the billing, etc...

Wouldn't it be easier -- if Watsi instead helped these countries institute some sort of single payer plan, or a plan whereby the Hospital is an insurer. Everyone in their 'district' is insured by that hospital. They pay monthly fees based on income 2-4% maybe? Watsi could give grants to hospitals who are in the red as well as consult them on how to improve productivity and lower costs...

I think this model would work here as well...

If you're out of network on a business trip or something, you'd go to another hospital, your home hospital would pay the out of network one. The hospital benefits because they have MRR from all patients living in their district who opt-in to their hospital. Hospitals could then standardize all billing and use a central software/system to manage everything get rid of lots of billers, not need to deal with insurance companies anymore, and they'd always get paid.
To my understanding, the problem is that the nuances and subtleties of natural languages are not possible (or not as easy to convey) in artificial languages, for a number of reasons. This makes it impractical for real use: imagine diplomats having to speak their mind instead of beating around the bush :)

But if you are interested in universal languages, I suggest you to check out Sol-re-sol [1]. I have read the story in Paul Collins' "Banvard's Folly" and have been fascinated by it ever since.

Well it's better than your client insulting you and your mother because your software killed their goat by mistake.
The open web, open OSes, open in general. We (average HN users) use these things but most people use walled garden platforms all the time. For non techies the trend is that way. Computing market seems to be bisecting into pro and consumer.

Two issues have prevented this open computing for the masses IMO:

1. Spam and malware. Any open system that gets any user base becomes spam hell. This is even happening to the more open of the walled gardens now (e.g. YouTube) so the future will likely be even more closed.

2. People like "free" and with no revenue stream you can't pay programmers to work on the parts that are not fun. This includes UX, which is a brutal grind. Walled gardens have a revenue stream from being surveillance driven advertising platforms users can't customize.
Something like this I bet the value evaporates just like the manufacture warranty on the battery.
Really? Are you saying 7 mins of hard driving will render it literally unable to continue?
Ha that video is not a fast update rate. It's just only updating a small bit of the screen at a time so you can't really see the slowness. Modern kindles are pretty fast but not video speed, and they still have to blank the screen after a few updates.
Lingo ain't, like, fixed, blood. Your spitting is tripping.
This all works at the beginning without doubt and when your application will stay simple and small and has a small userbase. But I've also seen more than once... when your application will get a certain size it is good to remove ORM like SQLAlchemy for real speed improvements.
I live in Australia. It took about 2 days to get totally comfortable driving on the opposite side when I visited the US. I don't think it'll matter that much.
What you describe sounds like regression, which is a powerful technique with varied applications, but is not the same as deep learning. Aspects from calculus do play an important role in ML notably in the gradient descent algorithm used to adjust weights.

They're a lot faster than they used to be. Maybe 200ms? Still not as fast as video.

Most modern domestic smoke detectors are now photoelectric, rather than ionization based.

Not only do they not contain toxic Americum 241, photoelectric smoke detectors are also both more sensitive to real fires and less prone to false alarms.

(The later is actually really important, as people will often disable smoke detectors in response to a false alarm - and then forget about them)
The point is it's more like the internet than like google. And people were naysaying the internet more than they were naysaying google.

That's a horrifyingly bad idea for so many reasons. I've always found Wim Hof kinda quacky in general, but this is beyond the stupidity I would expect from even a serious woo practitioner.

Even without wrecking your intestines, the bacteria and probable pollutants in a public fountain would be disastrous for your intestinal flora. So, even without the risk of traumatic injury, it'd be really stupid to treat a public fountain as a mega-bidet. Not to mention you're putting others at risk. Kids and pets often play in fountains, even if they aren't supposed to.

I really can't even with this dude. And, lots of people, including nerds, take him seriously. It makes no sense.
So was the Roman Empire.
Tbh it looks like the opposite might be happening, exactly as a reaction to the invasive approach from their exhibitionist parents who grew up before the ‘00s (when exposure was valuable and scarce). Most kids I see are moving towards technologies where recording is managed very consciously (staged ala instagram or ephemeral ala snapchat). Camera awareness has gone up, hoodies have become everyday clothing... Rather than “I’ll be recorded, whatever”, the attitude I see emerging is “I need to know when I’ll be recorded because I know it can make or ruin me”. The revenge-porn laws imho are the first salvo in what will become a campaign to redraw the relationship we have with cameras, in the long run.

I´ve read a book recently called "Hooked" by Nir Eyal. https://www.amazon.de/Hooked-How-Build-Habit-Forming-Product...
It´s exactly about this topic. He also gives quite a few examples of the achievements of Apple and so on. Really interesting.
Google Glass's application and marketing was hijacked when Sergey Brinn was shown the prototypes and decided to go for the consumer market. It was originally intended as an enterprise product, with somewhat similar envisioned applications to what Microsoft's hololens is aimed at today.

Now that the hype over the original Glass release subsided, there are actually some promising developments for the enterprise market. Notably Augmedix, a company aimed at optimizing doctor-patient interaction uses it as a tool allowing for remote medical assistants (https://www.augmedix.com)
That's just because plastic trinkets aren't what they are useful for. For useful applications, like prototyping, repairs, bespoke items and so on they are going strong and still getting cheaper and better.

I'm hoping we'll have some affordable SLA printers fairly soon.

> With your dependency graph enabled, we’ll now notify you when we detect a vulnerability in one of your dependencies and suggest known fixes from the GitHub community.

Why not go one step further and automatically open a pull request fixing the issue? If you can build a model of the dependency graph, then changing the version to an up-to-date version should be trivial.

Of course, there's no guarantee that the commit in the pull request will successfully build, and you'd still need a project maintainer to fix issues in the build caused by the version change. But the data you get is invaluable. If the security alert is unfixable (from the project maintainer's perspective, since upstream hasn't released a fix yet), then why are you alerting a maintainer about something unfixable? If the proposed fix's build is green, then the alert should have a "higher volume" (so to speak), and if the proposed fix's build is red, then the "volume" of the alert should be turned down so that the team can focus on fixing the build so that the security patch should be applied.
There is plenty of incentive for landlords to install charging points in apartment parking. Landlords who do that can lay claim to being "environment friendly" and add a $100 extra to rent, which people will pay because, well, who wouldn't want to be environment friendly?

Honestly, electric cars are sitting in a cultural spot from where they can't lose. You can make all the arguments in the world that electric cars have the same or worse carbon footprint as gas cars, but the public at large is convinced that "gas = bad", "electric = solar = good".
Are there creditors that have preference above unpaid wage claims in the US (like banks)? In my little country in Europe (NL), wage has near absolute preference so there is little chance of unpaid wages not being paid. Almost any company has some assets. In Finland (see GP) there's even government insurance.
I think maybe the virtual world metaphor has been taken too literally. The real point of "jacking in", to me, would be a vastly superior interface compared to the screen-and-keyboard systems we have now. Ideally, it'd be more like a subsystem for your brain, an extension of the way we think, but in fiction it's easier to depict that as a virtual space.

Letting people use their devices without looking at or touching them would be a huge improvement over what we have now. Input especially is terrible, I'm typing this on a phone and a part of me hates every second of it. Someone, anyone, fix this crap!

Perhaps getting down downvoted by people who expect Tesla may have thought about this. I remember reading the overheating was due to the regenerative braking trying to push power back into the battery so it was getting hard charged and discharged constantly and you couldn't switch off the charging. The bigger battery may be so you can switch off the regenerative braking.

So thanks Mozilla, Firefox and open source software in general.
