For me it was transflective LCD. Very low power compared to IPS panels, high contrast in direct light. Not quite as low power as e-ink, but it looked like e-ink and had a high refresh rate.
1. E-book and products like evernote/google keep. I rarely write things on paper now because I often experience the difficulty of copying/searching. On computers copying/searching is a breeze.

2. VoIP, Skype, WhatsApp, etc. Many years ago I thought they can totally replace traditional phone calls, at least for 99% users. But that didn't happen.

3. Technologies for telecommuting. Less congestion, less pollution. And it saves both time and money. But it's still not so popular. (In Asia, it's very rare.)

Being stingy with big bounty money seems so shortsighted - if you are going to have a B.B. program and encourage people to suss out exploits, why would you then want to piss those people off? It’s not like there isn’t a completely separate market out there for the same exploits run by people you’d collectively refer to as “the enemy”.

I remember going to a cafe in Harvard Square called Cybersmiths in the mid 90s. You got a card, loaded some money on it, then you could surf the world wide web at high speeds. I thought you were going to see these types of cafes everywhere, but high speed internet to the home put them out of business.
Spelling difficulties are are artefact of what makes English so powerful, though -- its ability to simply adopt foreign words any time it feels the need to do so.

The base language was formed by crashing two major European language families into each other a thousand years ago, and we've been happily borrowing words from every other language on Earth ever since as we've needed them. If we want to make up a brand new word, as we so often do in science, we'll probably reach for a handful of Greek and Latin prefixes and suffices and stick them together any way we like.

After a thousand years of this, English is probably the language with the biggest and most expressive vocabulary of any language in the world.
> 2. Many cities already have rush hour fees on public transportation (or equivalently discounts for off-peak passes) so some price differentiation in bus lines seems possible.

I have never seen that anywhere in Europe or Canada, does that mean there are two different tickets with different prices, and you have to have both if don't know exactly when you're going to take your bus?

Also, I wonder how it works with a monthly or yearly pass.

"Like the newer gene-editing technology CRISPR, ZFNs can cut both strands of the genome’s double DNA helix at a specific location."

They are different technologies but zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs) but they both do DNA editing.
Some truth to that. But some wrong too.

I drive a 2004 330i; I track it. I get better times than most drivers who have much better 100-140 high speeds in the straights - despite me only getting to ~100.

Of course, somehome a pro driver in a lowered 140hp toyota pickup truck can get better times than all of us.
Not every problem can be solved by matrix multiplication and gradient descent. Particularly, many problems require exact solutions, and not just good approximations (think aerospace or science or finance). And speaking of science particularly, many solutions require insight, which ML often can't provide.

From the article:

> While Office has had a new Equation Editor integrated since at least version 2007, Microsoft can't simply remove EQNEDT32.EXE (the old Equation Editor) from Office as there are probably tons of old documents out there containing equations in this old format, which would then become un-editable.
What is the best 60-to-0 time for a road car? If traction is the limiting factor, you should be able to get very close to that same time in the reverse direction.

Edit: the shortest 60-to-0 braking distance I find claimed is for a Dodge Viper ACR (Mk 5) at 87 feet. Assuming constant acceleration, that works out to 1.98 seconds.

This is flat out wrong. In bankruptcy in .nl, the uwv (a semi government agency) takes over responsibility for paying up to 13 weeks before and 6 weeks after termination of employment, which is usually a few days after the bankruptcy. Apart from that, wages are 'preferenced' but at the same rank as the uwv and the tax office. However, all of those come after the 'separatisten', which are creditors with a 'security right' (don't know the english term). Which means in practice (since most companies will have pawned their assets to banks for credit lines) that banks will get the most money, 'preferred creditors' some money and others nothing. So while in nl, in case of bankruptcy, most employees will get all wages and overtime they were owed, it has nothing to do with some 'near absolute preference' they supposedly have. And if you don't start bankruptcy proceedings at most say four to six weeks after you didn't get paid, there is a real chance you won't get your full wage. And this is by design, it says so in the 'parlementaire geschiedenis' of the law (record of the discussions around new laws that provide context for future interpretation)

From a revenue point of view, streaming is not a very good way to support an artist[1][2]. The Verge article I linked to states that artists are paid "somewhere between $0.006 and $0.0084" per stream.

If we are very pessimistic about the royalties of a CD sale - let's call it 20%, and say a single CD costs $10, that's ($10 x 20%) / 0.0084 = 238 streams to cover the cost of a single CD.

If you take audiophile-level paranoia like buying vinyls, SA-CDs or FLAC masters, I think there's an argument to be made that an artist could make more money from people buying high-quality editions of their work to pirate than from people streaming their music.

It's food for thought.

You are right... hmm
Why would you need to simulate bad network conditions over localhost? It's probably you're most stable network connection in any situation.

You are simulating a condition that will almost never happen unless your machine itself is dying in which case you have bigger problems than auto-completion to worry about.

Evergreen is different with ChromeOS. The updates are downloaded in the background and just picked up the next time you boot.

I will get on someone's Windows box that will have updates waiting and I am like what gives? They are like I do not want to deal with the hassle.

It is all about getting rid of as much friction as possible and people will actually do it.

I remember reading recently that the U.S. military had to ground all DJI drones they had in inventory because of suspected hooks in the software and I was thinking it was just malicious backdoors, interesting to see there's a bit more of Hanlon's razor in there too.
>> Worst case scenario with his current strategy: they run out of money and an acquirer buys them for the cost of their debt and gets a company ...

Yes. And the acquiring company could be Apple, which has cash and past form in buying a company for its charismatic CEO.

They would be comparing them with the digital computers of the same time.

There's a reason people used analog computers back them, and there's a reason nobody uses them now. Most of the reason is about how noise interferes with small components, and it's a physical reality that won't go away.
Heh can say I know some guys who have done this, and I myself have done this (and with similar but open source tools) there's also the "what is this sketchy .NET app really doing" moment where you want to know it's not doing anything "funny" to your system and you peek at the code.

>The problem is people.
Bingo. Many, many problems boil down to people making decisions in what they believe to be their own best interest, which ends up either A) harming others (i.e., theft and other crimes) or B) not actually being in their own best interest (i.e., strategic voting).
If they need more cash then they can just have another investor round. There's enough fan boys that would invest.

I would prefer that Ford and GM not do this... I don't see how producing a $250,000 car will help the common folk, which is who Ford and GM serves.

Tesla had first mover advantage with their Model 3 and now they are floundering. GM's Chevy Bolt is out producing and out selling the Model 3 despite first movers advantage and all the 'good will' Tesla generated... Despite people saying 'GM could never do this'.

I also don't know why you would say Ford or GM couldn't do it when they produce vehicles that race in Nascar and have R&D for that sport.

Ford and GM are mature companies and expected to actually make money, while Tesla is expected to make good will and headlines.

I'll be more excited when Tesla meets their originally projected production numbers.
Been involved with many Chromebooks and never had a single issue with any updating. It just happens completely transparently.

Chromebooks have two boot partitions. So one updates while you are using the other. You then just pick up the update all ready to go next time you boot. You have zero idea that your laptop even updated.
"In the days following no less than 4 lawyers told me in various ways that the agreement was not only extremely risky, but was likely crafted in bad faith to silence anyone that signed it."

The whole article sounds like a mishmash of incompetence, being unprepared, and having a legal team not really interested in having a robust or even good bounty program. Basically a bounty program driven by Marketing and/or Legal to be able to say "we take bugs seriously" rather than by Engineering with an interest in actually getting problems resolved.

What about weight? The Roadster is probably quite more more heavy than an F1, doesn't that play a big role in traction?
You're confusing throughput with latency. Those old systems were objectively more responsive because the keyboard and mouse were tied directly to high-priority IRQs which were serviced in the OS. Now we have USB keyboards and mice, which go on the same IRQ lines as every other USB device, and even if the OS could service them specially, it doesn't. So keyboard and mouse events go on a queue of things to do: disk accesses, network packets, etc. And the whole system feels slower because of the time lag between you sending a command to the machine via kb or mouse, and the machine actually receiving it.
Ah. missed that. But obviously I'd be very happy for this program to be patched by replacing it with this program:

MessageBox.Show("This document contains an old equation and you don't have the editor. Do you want to download the old editor?");

Becuase there comes a point in time when any time you bump into an equation like this, it's actually more likely to be a malicious one.

Even better if they could at least render the old equation statically using the new office, but not edit it. Then it would be almost insanely rare that anyone needs the old editor.

It almost seems like you might be better off taking the bugs found to the US military or intelligence agencies to see if you can get bounties from them instead.

Of course, that puts you in a position of interacting with the US government on security research.

I've been making the point that fuel duty and car taxes (if your country has them) need to be removed and road pricing brought in.

Price per litre of diesel in the USA is about $0.75 vs $1.64 in the UK. Given that Tesla stated that the truck would pay for itself within 2 years ($200,000 in diesel savings), we're talking 11 months in the UK.

The implication is that eHGVs will radically reduce the tax revenue of countries that have focused on fuel duty creating a significant problem for road maintenance.

Dynamic road pricing, based not only on time of day, but also vehicle type, is probably the only way forward.

To be honest I don't think anybody should rely on one single source of the truth for their news. The ideal scenario is that you take your news from a couple of sources, and come to your own conclusions.

Sources I use for news in no particular order:

- Al-Jazeera

- Russia Today

- The Guardian

- Reddit - although admittedly this is less for the news itself and more for the commentary that inevitably follows in various news sub Reddits

Have to agree with you, but with a little bit of additional context.

I get why people started rejecting statically typed languages. I work with many different languages, but started with statically typed languages with various forms of static typing (Pascal was my first, but then C and C++). Dynamic languages offer flexibility that statically typed languages lack. Most of the time, the flexibility rejected by static typing ends up being a good thing as it encourages sane code that can be analyzed by the compiler and prevent runtime bugs, so I've always accepted this sacrifice of flexibility as a feature rather than a hindrance.

However, I've found myself recently writing many solutions using TypeScript[0] and I'm finding its static type system, which allows one to configure the strictness, to be incredibly powerful. It's helped, first, by fantastic support for union types, type inference and duck typing. I find that the compiler, which is little more than a transpiler with a static analyser bolted on top of it, catches errors that I make and greatly reduces runtime WTFs while still allowing me to write terse, simple code that isn't littered with unnecessary type annotations. I add typings where either the implicit type detection can't predict the type for me or where it decreases cognitive overhead while reading code and leave them out when the opposite is true. This moves the bar back a little bit toward the flexibility side -- I can do things in code that are completely illegal in C# that result in less code, yet not increase my runtime bugs or decrease readability in the process. And if there's something truly harry that has to be done, I can tell the compiler to simply ignore the violation and give me the JavaScript output that I want regardless of what you think it's going to do.

...and I find myself longing for that type system everywhere else. So while I am still a huge proponent of statically typed languages and I don't see that changing any time, precisely how the static type system works and what features it supports is becoming very important to me.

[0] Which, considering how much I hate JavaScript, was a huge surprise considering it's basically ES6 JavaScript with optional type annotations.
