Docker is popular because:
1. containers are technologically better than virtual machines
2. Docker has added a popular cloud container image repo which is used for accessing container images.
3. this Docker cloud repo has morphed into a popular platform for selling/distributing application software which is built into container images.
Not to diminish the threat, but I think the impact of climate change on human civilization is often overrated. Countries most affected will include India, Bangladesh, Indonesia... none of them in the modern global powers. What I expect 50-100 years from now is:

In most affected countries, mass precarity, mass migrations, hardening of borders, end of the relative post-WW2 world peace.

In Europe/USA, flooded areas will be evacuated/relocated. Living conditions will worsen as a result of the end of globalization.

In Russia/Greenland/Canada, warming temperatures will create more temperate areas. This will create new economic hubs, and the economic growth paradigm will prevail. Business will continue, and conditions will worsen for another 100 years.

After that, a sizeable portion of Earth will be unfit for humans, and human population will have decreased a great deal. But no end of the human race visible for now.

I know this is an expression, but the idea of throwing out a $250 wireless camera seems excessive. Of course, adding a camera to every room in a house seems excessive too. I'm curious why you felt you needed cameras in every room? What's the "awesome" part?
It's not mature and not battle tested. There is barely anyone using it.

They few who do are walking on eggs. it's hardly possible to find two experiments running the same ecosystem between all the distributions and the commercial services. Centos, Debian, RedHat, CoreOS, kubernetes, AWS ECS, Google container, cloud foundry, openshift...
While certainly nice to have, your wishlist of studies isn't very actionable in our world where nobody really exercises at all. It's not like the average person is erring on the side of moving too much. Moving at all would be a good start.

Docker is very popular because:
1. containers is technologically superior to virtual machines.
2. Docker has create a public cloud repo for sharing/selling container images.
3. The Docker cloud has become very popular way of distributing application software which is built into container images.
Number 1 is technological reason, number 2,3 are non technical features which Docker added to containers and have become popular for enterprise software.
Something like this:

subscribe ('SELECT * FROM tableA', callback)

On the initial subscription, 'callback' would be called once for each row in 'tableA', then again when a row is inserted or updated. It would be the same as Firebase in this respect.
Astute. I was trying to use jails for development in kinda a proto-Docker setup, where my apps each ran in their own BSD jail. I struggled to put the pieces together to set up the jails, share a “base jail” with ZFS, forward ports, etc. I had scripts for messing with my pf rules to add port forwards, other scripts to update/apply config inside a jail... it was more frustrating to automate creating and destroying “immutable” jails, than maintaining a pet per app I developed... until I messed up an environment, and just abandoned the project!

I think we’ll see the same sort of thing happening with FaaS frameworks, or any of the layers building on top of Swarm/Kubernetes/Mesos.
Would you mind explaining more?

Levering a set of moral rules inherently leads to immorality. You can do what is right whether or not it is according to the rules, so the only thing that rules enable you to justify that you couldn't otherwise, are the things that are in fact wrong.

I am not a Christian, but the bit about "Ye shall know them by their fruits" I think is genuine wisdom.
I'm sure some very smart people saw a path to internet streaming distribution and negotiation leverage with their content base.

I don't know if the hype/price is justified, I just know cryptocurrencies are going to change the world. It seems to me that something that important is probably worth betting on, and not against.
Thanks for the response. If I understand the argument correctly, then the claim is that 1) a currency that fits the criteria - circulated by a strong entity who wants it returned - has value, 2) Bitcoin does not fit that criteria, therefore 3) Bitcoin has no value.

I don't know if you're supporting this argument or not, but it is flawed in a manner that is called "denying the antecedent". To borrow an example, the following argument is flawed: 1) If you're a logic instructor, then you have a job, 2) you are not a logic instructor, therefore 3) you do not have a job. This does not follow, and is not a valid argument. One can simply point out that there are other jobs than logic instructor.

This is the same form of argument as was made in your post. Surely, then I must be able to point to some other thing that has some value which is also not circulated by a strong entity. Rare-earth minerals come to mind. Sunken treasure. Works of art. Illegal drugs, certainly. Stolen goods, clearly, and I would think any illegal market has to be seen as coming from a weak actor. All these are examples of things that have value, but do not fit the given criteria.

It is unfortunate, but it appears that people who believe this argument are fooling themselves. I hope they do not fool others.

Every discipline has the problem that it's jargon is impenetrable to outsiders. Try showing someone with zero programming knowledge a text talking about "string search" and "pointer chasing" and they will be just as confused.

Mathematics is only different because it is useful in many other fields, so you get lots of non-mathematicians trying to make use of some result in isolation. When they don't understand the explanation, they blame it on the unfamiliar words and notation, but often that's just a symptom of not understanding the concepts. Anecdote: I have been taking a course taught in Chinese, which I don't speak very well, so all mathematical jargon is new to me. But just seeing how they were used let me recognize the words for familiar mathematical concepts.

Of course some mathematical writing is just bad, but usually mathematicians will then agree that it's bad. But if some formula comes with an explanation using words you don't understand, there is no way around looking up definitions until you understand the prerequisites. There is no language you could translate mathematics into to make it magically more understandable, unless the translation always prepends an introductory textbook.

I don't think it's heretical to long for better notation, I just don't think it's going to help much. But everyone is free to make up their own symbols, so feel free to go ahead. If it's really better, people will adopt it, just as they adopted superscripts for powers instead of one-off symbols, Leibniz notation instead of Newton's, and so on.
You and I were thinking on similar lines. Since it's tech, my idea was the money went to FOSS nonprofits that focus on infrastructure like OS's, servers, crypto libraries, and so on. Even the GetRichCoin types building on that kind of foundation might do some incidental good for tech scene even if their plans don't work out.
I'm not really sure what you mean. It's actually frustrating how tame the news is, at least in the US. If they actually showed the effects of war, the public would be able to be more rational about the consequences.

I actually grew up watching PBS NewsHour with Jim Lehrer.
Maybe in the case of a dating site, but I disagree when it comes to Facebook. I see a lot of low quality comments, and they almost always come from people with a fake name, a fake profile picture, or both. Anonymity seems to bring out the worst in everyday people when it comes to discourse.
It is possible that there are other stable particles besides the ones we know now (like protons, neutrons, electrons, photons, neutrinos, etc). And maybe they can form stable arrangements which are not atoms, but which can still interact with ordinary matter. In that case you could have a material that was not made of atoms.

I don't think a lump of such material is in a warehouse in Nevada, but maybe it exists somewhere in the universe.

I recently got a letter in the mail (from EY if I recall correctly) who on behalf of Google, asked me if I wanted to collect the unused balance from an inactive account (with options on how to receive said funds), otherwise it will go to your states' unclaimed funds.

Assume for a second this is real alien tech. No atoms, programmable matter, literal magic, whatever.

Why would this be in a warehouse of a $22 million (i.e. super small potatoes) government project? It would be the biggest budget and highest secrecy project on the books.
When it's time to speak directly to hardware, Rust and Haskell aren't exactly silver bullets: so much of the state ends up being in the chips instead of the program--thus outside the compiler's scope.

If we want to get away from C-level twiddling, we will also need to get away from C-level hardware.
I recall reading an article by someone or other which argued that auto loans cannot be a bubble in the way that stocks or houses have been, because generally there is not demand for cars by people who simply want to flip them for a higher price. Everybody who buys a car is buying a depreciating asset because they actually want to use it, so demand cannot get too out of control.
I have felt this same way for so long and I'm really glad someone finally wrote about it.
Yeah, but doing it without a lab makes it a lot more difficult to do safely and with multiple likely dangerous (toxics, oxidizers, mutagens) byproducts (including the Si dopants) doing it at home is sketchy. Could one person do it in something the size of a garage? Yes, I think 20-40 probably do every year in a university clean room. But building that for a single person is an exercise in both chutzpah and perhaps (toxic) waste. It's a lot more tempting to cut safety corners when you're doing it for the first time, and haven't made THAT mistake yet.

There is a manual for it though (thanks abecedarious).

Yeah it was like you say. My cousin was on Price is Right. He came with a group of 20, and they were guaranteed that at least one of their group would be in contestants row.
I hope it inspires competitors, because it's a fun concept -- gathering together with a bunch of people at a certain time to play a game together. But the HQ Trivia game itself is... terrible.

I'm aware they're beholden to certain design constraints. Such as making something that's immediately understandable and fun to a wide range of people. But. They have not risen to the challenge, in my opinion.

I expect there will be numerous competitors in this space. And some will have much better game design chops. And one of those will do very well.

(And then the whole apps-like-TV-game-shows-everyone-plays-together market will totally collapse after four hundred start-ups launch and obliterate the novelty.)

We know that nature is not smart. We are not talking about nature but specific living organisms in nature. All types of life forms make intelligent decisions. Humans are trying to design and produce machines that can make such intelligent decisions on their own. The problem is to write algorithms that evaluate data it receives from the sensors and make the correct decision. The intelligent part is in writing such algorithms that know what to do in unexpected situations and can make the right decisions under new situtions and learn from new situations.

So two main signifiers of intelligence are 1. making decisions on its own and 2. learning from new situations.

Evolution is an academic buzzword that has so many meanings that it has become meaningless. I avoid using that word. Introducing the word "evolution" to any discussion only leads to discussions about the meaning of the word evolution. Can we investigate my original question without using the word evolution? Yes we can.

You say that "nature doesn't do much better than evolution". We now know that the fundamental process nature uses to create new types of organisms is siymbiosis. Different organisms agree to live together and form a new organism.

I agree with the sentiment that most papers have very little value in the long run.

Alcohol has some of the worst negative externalities of any drug of abuse. It's a causal factor in a huge proportion of road traffic accidents and domestic violence. It kills about 88,000 Americans annually due to overdose, accidents and chronic illness. Typical recreational doses are inherently toxic.

When we criminalized alcohol, the negative externalities got worse. Gangsters murdered each other in the street for control over distribution. The profits from bootlegging were funnelled into other organised crime. People were blinded and killed by adulterated booze. Billions of dollars were lost in tax revenues. The overall consumption rate towards the end of prohibition was only about 30% lower than before.

The evidence is clear - criminalisation kills. Unless you're in a totalitarian regime with closed borders, you can't stop people from taking drugs. What you can do is effectively regulate the drug market, provide proper care and support services and minimise the harms to drug users.
One idea would be to cooperate with a rural LEC. For example some of the rural iowa guys make $0.04 cent per minute when people call their phone numbers (cabs billing).

You would promote free inbound fax numbers and do a revenue share with the rural lec. You could easily do free inbound fax service for all of your customers because most Rlecs do not agree to bill and keep tarrifs.

So... you run your fax service where you get 1 free minute outbound for every 10 inbound faxes.

Then your average outbound fax costs would be 1/10th less. So if you did a 60/40 revenue split with the RLEC, you would be able to offer free outbound faxes on a "ratio".

The FCC is probably going to close this loop hole in the next 20 years. They have been playing cat and mouse with this for years.
Apples to oranges:

"And this is where another comparison between Magic Leap and Theranos falls apart. Most of the former's investors are sophisticated tech venture capitalists, who Abovitz says were “sending their brilliant professors from all the top schools to try and shoot us down.” Theranos, on the other hand, largely raised money from rich individuals whose life sciences experience began and ended with high school biology. Magic Leap's board includes Google CEO Sundar Pichai and Alibaba co-founder Joe Tsai ― whereas Theranos directors used to include former Secretaries of State Henry Kissinger and George Shultz."

and in an email to Mike Hearn:

>>The existing Visa credit card network processes about 15 million Internet purchases per day worldwide. Bitcoin can already scale much larger than that with existing hardware for a fraction of the cost. It never really hits a scale ceiling.

So your explanation for his reasons for putting in place the 1 MB limit are not consistent. Others have said that he was afraid that someone would soon come out with GPU miners and be able to DOS the network with large blocks, so put the limit there as a temporary measure. Now that mining hardware evolution has slowed, and the mining ecosystem matured, this kind of threat is non-existent.
I believe it. Playing Diplomacy, especially for years on Dipbounced, taught me more about strategy and game theory than any other resource. The community of players are all deep thinkers and incredibly ruthless. We used to have 2-3 day Diplomacy sessions back in college where we'd just do game after game and I miss it sorely.

If you were to ask me to pick the most pure strategy games, Diplomacy would be #1 and maybe EVE Online would be #2.

That makes sense. I agree that RFID is probably the way to go. What I was thinking of was closer to what you are describing though, or to a supermarket style in-counter barcode reader. I don't know if there's a minimum barcode-to-reader distance, but I suspect you could hack something up by building a box around one of these types* of readers.

Another downside to the barcode approach is also that it requires correct alignment. Maybe you can get greater convenience from RFID.

On the other hand, the RFID approach means you don't have to modify the boxes at all. Because the code should hold some semantic meaning, you could maybe even set it up to download the requested movie on demand, so that you don't have to build your own database...

Regardless, it's a fun idea!

I think this is because they want people to use Titan V workstations. They know that the Titan V will cannibalize Tesla sales of they let people put them in data centers. It's still a shady move, but it makes sense.
This paper was published in 2009 with a bulk of the work coming from the Yale Quantum Institute. I like it because they talk about how the processor is built, and how the qubits are controlled to perform the algorithms. Superconducting quantum processors have advanced by leaps and bounds since then.

i just checked 3 relatively legitimate bitcoin exchanges (kraken, gdax, bitstamp). you could put a 300k sell order on any of them and have less than 0.5% of slippage, which is much less than regular trading volatility. plus if you really wanted to, you could spread your trades among multiple exchanges and execute them simultaneously for even lower slippage.
