> Sinclair Broadcast Group Inc last month called the new standard “the Holy Grail” for the advertiser because it tells them who is watching and where.

This doesn't tell us much about the "how". I assume how this works is that the TV set connects to your home network and phones home with information about what you're watching right now. If your TV set were to skip the part where it phones home, is it still possible to watch the show? Or do you have to divulge your location in order to get a key to decrypt the show? Will there be DRM preventing you from recording?
15 million pieces of documents and 1400 witnesses to talk to. I made those numbers up but on HCA case apparently the Govt had 13,000 boxes of documents...500 FBI agents participated and HCA spent $300 mil in their defense

Interesting. That's what android pay does.
> The new standard would also let broadcasters activate a TV set that is turned off to send emergency alerts.

Uggh. I'd be very annoyed if, say, the TV turned itself on and woke my toddler from his daily nap because of something like an amber alert.

Honestly, stuff like this is part of why I'm still using an ancient CRT-style TV and haven't bothered replacing it yet. I think I prefer my TV "dumb."

I'm all for electric trucks (buses, garbage trucks, etc). But how can we call this a success before they ship their first unit? For all we know it might end up failing so bad that everyone gets spooked off of the idea and delays actually getting sizeable traction on electric trucks. Or maybe they will be successful. But not yet...
Great work and obscure enough that I'm sure one of the authors made the submission :)

If so, here are a few things that I saw while glancing over the paper (I'll read the paper in detail later):

- you might be interested in neel krishnaswami's paper on datafun, which is a functional language that includes datalog primitives in the form of least fixed points of monotone functions. Monotonicity is tracked in the type system, so this seems very relevant.

Edit: just saw that the paper was referenced after all, my bad!

- why do you need termination? Is it an artifact of the logical relation you use? If so, step indexing might help to relax this restriction.
Even the smartest tv gets obsolete really fast. I found chromecast to be wonderful. It's a dumb device, your phone is the smart one.

Okay, yeah, a lot of those sound pretty bad, particularly anything involving paying for local religious classes or ceremonies. From what I can remember from my conservative Protestant upbringing, none of those occurred. There were special courses that effectively required purchasing the book being covered and organized trips that cost money, but that’s the worst I can think of. I would assume that the church facility charged money for use for weddings, which doesn’t strike me as unreasonable assuming the amount is reasonable to cover cleaning and ongoing maintenance. At a recent funeral I attended, a family member mentioned that the preacher leading the service was paid $100, which I got the impression was more customary than obligatory. That didn’t bother me much.
Thanks for your explanation mentioning "coordinated ballet", only at this point the realization hit home how big the differences are.
Truecaller harvests all your contacts and sells them to third parties like sync.me (huge reverse phonebook). You should look up a few of your contacts’ numbers in there.
Trump does not control DOJ. And transgender service members were only allowed less than a year before they were disallowed. Moreover, the “ban” is only a suspension of continued implementation, those already in service can continue to serve, and will not be denied reenlistment. Somehow no one had any issues with Obama not allowing them for 7 years, not even a peep was heard, and he was never called the enemy of gay people. I’m not even going to dignify the third thing on that list with a response.
I like Swedish cities because they are low-rise and had more trees, squares (usually triangles) and pedestrians. I particularly recall a wide tree-lined car-free avenue acting as a buffer zone between two parts of Malmö; people would take nice park walks in this elongated park just a few meters wide. I remember wishing that avenues like that radiated like spokes from the center so I could have had such a walk or cycle ride to work daily.
The 'just replace' kind of makes no sense. Replacing senior staff has all kinds of ripple effects throughout a corporation. I would propose that hardly any illegal or immoral act of big corp starts with the CEO. It's a cabal usually. Just cutting the head of won't work. I would like to read about clearly immoral companies coming clean, tips? In fear many only clear their act up in nominem.
Ha, think you're onto something there. Except that the last part actually involves the 3d-modeled people that are inserted into the scene (representing the perfect consumers).

That also makes it more risky. Not sure if Tesla can still fail and what it would look like, but they are currently bleeding money that roadsters and trucks 3+ years from now won't fix.

I really hope they succeed but can't really see how it happens.

I am not sure what you are saying. What tuning system are you claiming composers like Bach, Mozart, Chopin and Shostakovich wrote keyboard music for, that playing their works in modern 12-tone equal temperament would "shock" them?

Terrible examples, considering that these are programming languages that people will use to run code from random sources.

"git clone foo && cmake foo" can definitely be a security problem, and not just because the code itself is untrusted.
Exactly. In my case it's the wi-fi enabled blu-ray player plugged into the TV. And this TV has outlived the DVD player that came before that.

It's a low-res dinosaur but it does its job without fuss.
The Declaration of Independence is in the style of an oration, not a conversation. People definitely use more complicated sentences than that in conversation – heck, I’ve had conversations where 4 different running threads were intermingled ad-hoc, and both participants were able to keep track of all four ongoing thoughts just fine – but not in the same high and formal style. (Some orators still use such a style, but probably less than 50+ years ago, as audiences have changed.)
This stuff really isn't that hard once it is described well (which doesn't need to involve any simplification). I can't wait to see what happens to the programming community once these notions are embraced with the love and respect that it deserves. If anything is going to make a big dent in the field, on a 5-10 year horizon, it'll be this. What we need to do is not to think of it (modern concepts in pure mathematics, especially from algebra) as something separate from programming, but to allow it to mix and skew the fundamental language that we use to reason about coding.
I'm working in a B2B telecom and I haven't seen that level of conservativeness, although in general I agree that they are conservative. But it's a wonderful place to work in many aspects: it's stable, pays well, and in general less clients means less headaches and a more focused development.

They don't immediately adopt new technologies, but frankly, nowadays I see that as more as a feature than a bug (although once in a blue moon I wish the delay in finally adopting them, when they have been successfully proven themselves, wasn't so long).

The most glaringly conservative aspect of my current job is its very rigid adherence to process. Again I must say that, having worked in places where it wasn't the case, I'm so glad that process is followed strictly.

The big problem with this job is that I've acquired a ton of domain knowledge that probably won't be useful in another job. This means that I need to keep other tech skills (algorithms, programming languages...) much more finely honed. On the other hand, I've acquired top notch documentation skills.

EDIT: I also can confirm that there is plenty of >40yo people here. Definitely a good place to be when you reach that age, although I'm only in my eearly thirties. I've found also a high level of diversity in general, which is very, very good.
The meaningful sense is that I have subjective experience, yet I can imagine a world where there's no subjective experience of being me -- it is exactly the world _you_ are living in.

Maybe if your code lives in a small bubble with everybody using the same IDE but definitely not for larger projects.

For huge projects you want the build/index performance from a fast build server rather than a laptop, buildi environment inside a docker container, IDE in windows and build in linux, free choice of IDE rather than tighlty tied plugins.

Though i fully agree that json might not be the best packaging.
Yup, we used DC++ a lot on our college campus about 5-6 years ago. It is definitely one of the best, if not best, to share files on an intranet.
> Maybe if I want to learn, I should choose an instrument that uses single notes, it might be easier.

It's not just limited to bass/lead guitarists either - finger style acoustic guitarists don't play just chords. OK, often the fingerings are chord patterns, or arpeggiated chords, but that's not always the case. Checkout the title track from Bensusan's album, "Intuite", that is mostly just a single note melody: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=di1qQsGcaIc (it would appear the ending is cut off this track here, but it gives you the idea).

> U.S. regulators on Thursday approved the use of new technology that will improve picture quality on mobile phones, tablets and television, but also raises significant privacy concerns by giving advertisers dramatically more data about viewing habits.

I don't understand. The article talks about a new TV broadcast standard, ATSC 3.0. Most mobile phones and tablets do not include a TV tuner, so how is this going to improve quality on mobile phones and tablets?
This makes less than zero sense
Not all humans have blurry vision underwater [1]. It seems, from the article, that children from that tribe can learn constrict their pupils and accommodate their lenses so as to see much better underwater.

But the quote that followed it is probably much more relevant to this discussion..."Seals and dolphins have a similar adaptation." Since orcas are actually the largest of the dolphin family and not whales, it might apply to them as well.

Are private branches that the CI can pick up also not a workable solution for your usecase?
I fail to see the use case for street by street emergency or weather broadcasts. The weather forecast is unreliable enough at city level, let alone street level. And what emergencies would be so serious as to warrant turning on TVs on just my street or in my area? Seems like a thin veil for giving broadcasters more control over end user devices.

I'd like to think I'm becoming Tom here, right down to the techs you mentioned. I also went through git, apache httpd, bash, and Ruby phases.

My philosophy is that if PHP keeps the lights on, I better really know what it is, where it's going, what are it's limitations, because it would be pretty scary not to.

Plus once you learn a language or a database well, the next one is easier. The trick is knowing when it's time for the next one.
> Coders who understand their domain well are immensely valuable, and are easily worth at least 3x, because they don't over- or under-engineer a solution, and because they can conjure up with technological solutions for problems that nobody else in the company can even conceive of.

This is a crucial point to me. Being able to code is good, but being able to code well while also having an intermediate or expert understanding of the domain that you are working within is what is going to set you apart in the long run.

In the industry, developing software can usually be seen as the process of creating a tool that will help to better solve a problem. It seems strange to me that you would want someone who doesn't have a solid understanding of the nature of the problem (or the solution) to be designing and building the tool, just because they claim to be good tool-makers.
Software updates are a kind of project heartbeat. The content of them is less important than the signal, "this project is still alive, and maintainers are fixing issues for people". If a project does not put out updates, then users may (understandably) worry that if they have an issue, it won't get addressed promptly.

I actually don't think there is anything wrong with having time-based releases, and putting very little content in some of them. If you only fix one bug in a quarterly/bi-annual release and tweak some docs, because that's all that's needed, you have still fixed an issue for somebody, and demonstrated to all of your other users that you are still keeping your commitments, and there for them if they need you.
Electric Cars Not Ready for Mass Production yet --Toyoto
If you look at the paper you will see that it uses a relatively advanced mathematical language. Did you understand the significance and meaning of exterior and geometric algebra from that? If not, then there you have a partial explanation for it. It is much easier to just understand vectors and matrices and maybe tensors for practical and applied work.
An appropriately sandboxed process that has no access to other processes or files can be considered non-security critical. But sadly nearly all programs commonly in use can access all the user's data and do with them as it wishes (hence ransomware) thus we have to perforce consider every program as security critical.

>Since c is 1, and 1^2 is 1, e=m. Energy and mass are completely equivalent.

E=m doesn't mean 'energy and mass are completely equivalent' at all. Where do you get that idea? Energy and mass have a certain equivalence regardless of the units you use.
But Probably it's also easier to raise $400M more than $6B for one more year of losses, which means Tesla has a far higher chance of running out of runway (I am optimistic anyway, I presume once the factory and charger network is built up costs will go down).

That was a key piece of info left out. I kept skimming back through the article thinking I glossed over it.
That's really cool. So you can detect if someone hasn't seen an advert for a couple of hours then remotely turn their TV on the next time their TV sees them and play the advert at max volume. Awesome.
This is a universal phenomenon. Gregory Clark has tracked family names in the UK over eight centuries and shown that 'mobility rates are lower than conventionally estimated, do not vary across societies, and are resistant to social policies'. The names of the Norman colonizers of England in 1066 still strongly feature in the higher social classes.

What indie developers should build next
(4) and (5) are included in (2) and (3), aren't they?
Not just obsolete. Think about all the security issues appearing only 5 years later. I sure hope all "smart city solution vendors" are required to provide lifetime updates, and there's also a mechanism to switch the maintenance of those products to some other company if the original companies go under. It shouldn't be like "Hey, so now we'll go bankrupt. Good luck with our DRMed proprietary products, though!"

This is why it's so important for governments to move towards open source solutions as much as possible despite the "high-cost of switching and training" and whatnot. Technology is going to be ingrained so much more in our institutions in the future. And it's going to be way more expensive to solve issues if there is proprietary products lock-in.
Thiel Out of YC, could that limit his access to startups from Y Combinator?
Sure, but the CLI is the CLI. I can't imagine there's no way to replicate the Git CLI without rewriting the internals. Surely the basics of branch-and-merge will be the same, right? I doubt anyone would miss the dangerously overloaded `checkout` subcommand, or wrestling with rebase conflicts.
Good enough.

Also - the notation in question is confusing and overcomplicated, and ignoring corner cases makes a lot of sense if you don't care about outliers.

It's not like that notation handles all kinds of music well anyway.
If you're willing to draw a distinction between "denying the existence of qualia" and "denying the existence of subjective experience", then yes, I agree that "denying the existence of qualia" can be taken in its usual sense--"they aren't a thing", as you say. Everything Dennett says about qualia has to be interpreted with this distinction in mind.

However, I'm not sure the poster I was responding to would agree with allowing that distinction. Certainly many commentators on Dennett have interpreted "denying the existence of qualia" as "denying the existence of subjective experience", which Dennett does not do. For a person who refuses to allow the distinction, I think one has to simply disagree that Dennett denies the existence of qualia; he just says they aren't what most people think they are.

Another way of looking at this is to ask what, exactly, the word "qualia" refers to. If it refers to subjective experiences themselves, then of course they exist; but, as Dennett says, they might not be what most people think they are. But if the word "qualia" refers to something else, then what it refers to might indeed not even exist. Many philosophical arguments come down to people using words to mean different things and talking past each other.
The funny thing about cmake is though that simple things are indeed simple, you can describe an executable made of several compile units in a single line of cmake script. The problem is that it doesn't enforce any standardization beyond that of how to structure complex projects, especially if external dependencies are involved.

PS: I don't think you will find a single "fan" of cmake who would say it's the best thing since sliced bread. Most people know it sucks, but grudgingly admit that its better to have one bad standard than a dozen competing solutions.
> I can't see it being easy to take a 20 year massive code base and split it up into components that are so isolated enough they can live in different repositories smoothly.

I can't see it being desirable either, they already have to deal with outdated external API, surely they don't want outdated internal API. A single repository lets you replace an API throughout the codebase at once and remove the old one entirely, if you start "modularising" then all "internal API" are suddenly external with all that entails.
Couldn't agree more. I have met so many programmers in banking who seem to actively avoid having to learn anything about a bank, not even complex math.

In theory, project managers are supposed to bridge the gap between the business and programmers, however my experience is that they usually understand neither the business nor the IT side, and are only adding more confusion.

People with both knowledge of both worlds are incredibly rare and valuable.
