I wonder if Moore's law was the real reason why all the RISC vendors failed while Intel succeeded.

Lets say IBM sells server hardware for 60K USD per machine versus Intel's 20k (I made the numbers up) and shows, through extensive benchmarking, that despite the higher initial cost, their machine's performance/dollar is better than Intel.

Then 2 years later Moore's law happens. Intel's new 20k offering now outperforms IBM's old machine on every metric. In hindsight, IBM didn't make sense financially.

With Moore's law slowing down, maybe now its the right time for IBM to make a move.
'the playing market'

>> Stripe's design isn't great design. It's design that a certain people like. If you're saying it's great, then define for whom.

Isn't true that this point is valid for draftsend.com too ?

Besides, I'm ONE amongst 'those certain people' WHO LIKE Stripe's design.

Since we've starting discussing not only about Stripe's design, but also brought draftsend.com to compare with, here is my humble opinion:

With due respect to draftsend.com's designer, it has just few pages with very basic information and resembles a familiar wordpress or bootstrap theme. No doubt that draftsend.com is a GOOD DESIGN. But, it is NOT a GREAT DESIGN EITHER! And draftsend.com is in no way comparable to Stripe's design with its width, breadth and volumetric information.

Now going over the Stripe's design... below are good points about Stripe's design:

1. it has a dynamic and fluid theme which keeps the visitor engaged through out the page(s).

2. encourages further readability.

3. design theme and colour is so appealing that continued visit as well as repeated visit(s) don't appear to be boring and brings some sort of freshness each time, though - it's the same design and content.

4. it creates a better image about the company (Stripe).

5. and, it conveys the following:

5.a. the company is meticulous which can be expected from their other deliverables (either product/service).

5.b. the company is adapted to new and emerging trends in design, hence the same could be expected from their other deliverables.

5.c. the company is professional.

5.d. the company can afford to the heavy lifting of such a wonderful and modern design.

5.e. the company is NOT sticky with traditional design.

5.f. the company does NOT fall into a stereo type.

...and others could say a lot as well as better about Stripe's Design!

>most problems could be solved by experts

Implicit here is that when you say "experts", you mean people who share your terminal values and general way of thinking.

Your post makes it seem like you're having trouble stepping out of your value system to consider opposing views. Consider your quote here:

"certain topics concern taboos that are still strong even in secularized societies. To these belong anything concerning human sexuality and some religious views."

Apparently to you it's unthinkable that secular (e.g. leftist) viewpoints could also nurture irrational, destructive taboos and blind spots. But they absolutely do. Some of them are on display in your post.

You say, "most problems could be solved by experts". This is basically stating, "If I had absolute power all this could be solved easily." It's one of the impulses that leads to tyranny. This sort of thing has been tried; the world has seen many leftist technocracies, and it's been one of the most murderous political forces in human history. It's not a good line of thought.

The reality is that the solutions you imagine wouldn't actually work the way you imagine they would. Because your values aren't ultimately the best ones in any absolute sense. They're just yours, and like all humans, they're blinding you to critical aspects of the situation. This is why successful societies become successful not by concentrating power, but by spreading it. When power is spread, many values and perspectives are brought to bear, and we muddle through.

The technocratic, power concentrating, "If only I was king!" tyranny impulse needs to be rejected at every turn.

I'm not saying you shouldn't have any power; your values are valid and valuable. But you should continue to share that power.

Technocracy is tyranny is murder.

From the article:

"Echo Show and Fire TV now display a standard web view of YouTube.com and point customers directly to YouTube's existing website," Amazon's statement reads. "Google is setting a disappointing precedent by selectively blocking customer access to an open website. We hope to resolve this with Google as soon as possible."

Lint was created for C in 1979, a minority used it or its commercial versions like Gimpel, until clang was introduced with static analysis built into the compiler.

Anything that isn't enforced by the language, tends to be ignored, hence why we need good defaults that make workarounds a big pain.
The main problem is that we still lack good generative models and good ways of interrogating them. GANs are unstable and difficult to apply to time series, VAEs suffer from posterior collapse, WaveNet/PixelRNN grow with the input size and overemphasize the details, RNNs are hard to train because we lack good training algorithms. Generally, small errors tend to compound in step-wise predictions because NNs do not generalize very well and gradients tend to vanish and shatter. If you just regard computation time to roll out the future, modeling domains in which the rules are simple enough to be hand-coded and evaluated quickly (such as Go and Chess) probably makes MCTS a million times more suitable compared to domains in which you need a complex model.

IOTA is kind of a joke IMHO:

* They have this thing called the "coordinator" which is a master-node run by them, which is a single point of failure. The codebase that this node runs is proprietary software. They claim there will be no need for this masternode in the long run but they never say any ETA about when to remove it (which hints that removing it may always expose the security flaws of their network). This means it's Proof of Authority instead of Proof of Work, therefore, not decentralized.

* It's 100% premined, which smells as scammy as Ripple. It's not a coin, it's an entity handing you gift vouchers with their name on it.

* I've heard they rolled their own crypto. Yes, let that sink. Haven't verified this myself though.

* There's no way for new nodes joining the network to recover the full history of the transactions (a IOTA speaker told me there are some public FTP servers or something where you can get a copy...). So yeah, it's an "append and forget" blockchain, lol.

Be prepared for a big (&deserved) crash.

1. Google effectively blocking access to the YouTube web site based on the type of device being used to access it.

2. Show and Fire TV now display a standard web view of YouTube.com and point customers directly to YouTube's existing website

I understood it, that Google blocked Amazon to access youtube via native app. And Amazon reaction was to switch their youtube app to webview, which basically renders web version of youtube.

Exactly. I've made this point before: The least appealing thing about crypto to me is one of the selling points - That I can be my own bank. I don't trust myself nearly enough to be my own bank. I want to pay someone I trust to take care of that for me. I don't want hacking or forgetting a password to be something that in any way affects my holdings.

Just because "it's done elsewhere" doesn't mean you should do it to, or that it's compatible with your preferences and standards and so on, or with how you want life to be.

I don't really want to get into the gun control debate here, since that isn't the point of the article. But if you compare the developed countries, you will find that the USA has by far the highest firearms homicide rate.

Obviously some of it is cultural, for instance, I'm from New Zealand, and I was raised with the attitude that if you own firearms, you should (almost) never use them for shooting people. They're for target shooting and hunting. Anyway, I digress.

You can find fairly easily on the internet that different countries have different firearms homicide rates per firearm[0], for instance, it stands at 0.00009361 in the USA, and 0.00003567 in New Zealand (one of the lowest, despite relatively high ownership). Which points to cultural differences, or something else.

But, if you look at the developed nations, and look at their firearms homicide rates, you will see that the USA sits at the highest, at around 3 times the rate of the next developed country.

But the machine shown here is not a mainframe nor a AS/400 or successor. It does not run AIX, OS/400 (pardon me: IBM i) or any of their mainframe OSes. It runs Linux.

And while I am sure it is a sweet machine that offers great performance and reliability, it is rather expensive. If you want to - especially if you mostly care about the GPU part anyway - you can get an Intel or AMD based machine for a fraction of the price.

IBM still stells the large POWER servers that run AIX or IBM i (in addition to Linux), and they still make their zSeries mainframes. But at least the latter are even more expensive.

All of these are really great machines; IBM has decades of experience building computers for some fairly demanding customers, and from what I know about these machines, it shows. But do not confuse the machine described in the article with IBM's top-shelf machines.

From the same source: "A blockchain[1][2][3] – originally block chain[4][5] – is a continuously growing list of records, called blocks, which are linked and secured using cryptography.[1][6] Each block typically contains a hash pointer as a link to a previous block,[6] a timestamp and transaction data.[7] By design, blockchains are inherently resistant to modification of the data."

>doesn't relying on a map also erode ability to navigate by intuition //

It doesn't, you still use your situational awareness, the same observations (to locate where you are on your map), the same site of direct observations.

For me it's like the difference between waking around a building blindfolded following a voice instruction and following a floor plan. In the former case (as for satnav) I'm lost without the aid; in the latter case I can not only navigate the same route but also find places I didn't visit before because I noticed then in passing in order to orient myself.

FWIW I use satnav and don't consider it a great wrong, but if I want to know a route or learn about an area then map following is much better.
