"Gold is far more unlikely to be made illegal by governments"

I have nothing to say about bitcoin, or cryptocurrencies, but this statement is currently false because (AFAIK) bitcoin has not been made illegal by any government, whereas gold has:

My heuristic is that it's usually faster to catch-up to something that already exists than it is to invent something new. Given sufficient effort Apple should be able to asymptotically approach Google's capabilities. But considering the other two points I mentioned, it's not a given that they will.
Foucault is actually, I'd say, one of the more analytically inclined continentals. He does have his fun with language, but underneath the robust terminology, narrativity, historical examples, and fun arrangement he is often describing some abstraction over social conditions and then drawing interconnections between these social abstractions. Of course, he highlights their complexity, and a great deal of his work has an intentional subversiveness or off-putting quality to it which can make the reading additionally difficult (structuralism denies subjectivity which already tends to make us uncomfortable).

I find a big difference between continental philosophers and analytics are the sorts of methods they feel comfortable employing. I find analytics take sequenced, bottom-up, and reductive approaches to explore an issue and try to get at a larger problem.

Continentals contrarily tend to rely on expansion instead of reductions (zooming into complexity instead of temporarily filtering out), approach issues from top-down, and are a bit looser with arrangement and structuring--though do so with particular purpose.

Of course this opposition is forced--plenty of philosophers from each camp mix a variety of methodologies and this binary opposition is itself just a reductive procedure to try to get at some sort of understanding and highlight certain attributes.

What has best helped my reading of philosophy from both sides is focusing on meta-issues; what techniques is this author using, can I create a summary of this, what do I find lacking, where are holes in my understanding, can I frame this person's experience to inform my knowledge of the approach, can I frame their references, what amount of this text is playing to the conventions the audience expects, how should I be changing my reading strategy to best comprehend this text?

Everyone is quick to judge the quality of a writer, yet we are far less reflective when it comes to our performance as readers--which is a shame. I think a lot of understanding is hampered by a lack of concern for one's own reading practices and in general a lack of emphasis on the importance of being a well-behaved reader. The work of a book is a shared struggle. Nietzsche understood this well, and I think his aphorisms on writing and reading are actually some of his best (I suppose that makes sense, given his background as a philologist)

Well, really focusing on meta-issues, my own manners and behavior as a reader, and reading Wittgenstein. Philosophy too, is a game.
I've been finding that Google Maps has better getting worse in the last year or so at giving simple directions. Their turn-by-turn interface and algorithms have lead to many frustrating situations that it just didn't do before.

For example I often find it recalculating my route to a side road, exit, or different freeway even though I was driving on the highlighted path. If I don't watch carefully, and don't notice it happening, I'll follow it off on some crazy recalculated route.

I've switched to Apple Maps when not routing to a complex building, like a giant mall. Apple Maps' routing and turn-by-turn has really improved in the last couple years.

If I go get an old tablet it will take 5x as long to load google.com as the day I bought it.

Once upon a time, google.com was like five lines of HTML. Google loved to brag about how they didn't even close their tags, because the page still rendered and it saved bytes.

Now I measure it at 300+ lines and 200KB, not counting assets.

Same generally goes for every software you know and love.

>From a gene propagation standpoint.. Agriculture is the clear winner

Removing the primary means of genetic selection doesn't improve gene propogation qualitatively and it only improves quantity in theory until population levels reach capacity and another limitation restricts further growth. If birth rates decline over all, such that 1/1 survive now rather than 2/10 then we have regressed both quantitatively and qualitatively on an individual level. The only thing agriculture has added is the stability and certainty of food supply for those who control the means of production; which allows for a larger population, economics, and tech development, but doesn't necessarily improve genetic propogation in the long term for individuals.

It is my understanding (possibly mistaken?), that after a major upgrade iOS reindexes spotlight metadata. This is done in the background, but drains battery and kind of makes the device perform a bit more slowly. Same day right after an upgrade, my phone tends to be a bit pokey and the battery drains pretty quickly. Next day after an upgrade, my phone usually "feels" fine again and battery life is back to normal.

I think it is actually not a highly complex algo. They have enough data to simply look at people who took the exact same or almost the same trip at the same time of day. Mix that with a bit of user provided traffic data to make sure it is similar to the comparisons and viola.
I just figure they are using the average of other people who took the exact same trip last week when conditions were similar.

What Is Kotlin and the Use of Kotlin Language in Android Application Development
Ask HN: Web application in C++, where to start?
I am an idea for a CRUD application that I would like to develop in c++. The language choice is mostly driven by the fact that it's the language I am the most familiar with , and the deployment story is usually easier . Looking around , I can't really see any web framework with battery included a la django/flask/rails/laravel etc...

Anybody using C++ for the web ? What's the typical C++ web app structure like ?

Right now i am thinking of using an async http library on the backend (proxygen or boost.asio) + postgres and manual ORM; And on the client side i am leaning toward using a pure client side solution (like react) and limiting the server to a pure API server with no html/view and mostly json data.

> As I understand it, the iodine in dairy typically comes from the products used to clean and sanitise the milking and storage equipment (iodophor).

It's possible this has some contribution, but it's not the main source.

> It's not inherent in the dairy itself

Yes, it is; in cows (and humans) mother's milk is where young who aren't eating anything else get their iodine.

> otherwise we could just eat the cow's grass to obtain iodine

Well, except for the fact that grass doesn't work well in the human digestive system, and you'd have to eat a lot of it, sure.
It doesn’t defeat the purpose of the thinness, most obviously because screen protectors and cases are optional.

Google has plenty of low revenue, unprofitable products, some of which are social charities like Google Scholar. I don't think Mayer deserves as much credit as a visionary as you are suggesting. It was more about empire building after a sudden demotion and not paying increasing licensing costs to a third party vendor for turn-by-turn data. But I agree that the end result is a mapping platform that is far ahead of anyone else thanks to Google's significant investment and resources.

I don't expect Google to pull its map app from iOS because it is a very valuable demographic to collect data from and target. Also, Apple already has a large hole on its balance sheet trying to catch up to Google in mapping. It started around the time they very publicly fired Forstall for the whole iOS 6 maps fiasco.

So have your SO/friend/etc. buy a bunch of it and slip you a gift card as a Christmas present? There's no law banning insider trading; Coinbase cannot really enforce anything beyond their own contractually-bound employees.

I actually find it interesting/relieving to have a market where insider trading is legal. If you got your hands on inside information, more power to you!

In the stock market, insider trading being illegal effectively only helps institutions who are already rich, have access to high-frequency trading, effectively do insider trading anyway and get away with it, and puts the average Joes sitting at home with an eTrade account at a distinct disadvantage.

There are things that cryptocurrencies could do to avoid insider trading becoming abused. For example, ensure that larger trades take a long time. Trades of 1000 BTC should require days to execute, while trades of 0.1 BTC should execute in milliseconds. That would help de-throne the hedge funds of the world who have access to more information than average Joe can process, and empower average Joes to leverage everything they know, without messing up the market dynamics for small quantities.

Talk of “innocent until proven guilty” is misplaced. In a workplace context, you’re not judging guilt and innocence. You’re resolving a civil dispute, where nobody’s freedom is at stake, only property. Even in courts the standard used for civil disputes isn’t “guilt beyond a reasonable doubt” but a mere “more likely than not” conclusion. I’m a civil litigator. We never talk about “innocent until proven guilty.”

Imagine you’re in a dispute with someone over where your property line is drawn. If someone presents an affidavit attesting to facts that show the property line is actually five feet into what you thought was your yard, and you have no facts to the contrary, guess what: you’re losing summary judgment. Civil standards give the defendant a very thin benefit of the doubt. Your accuser’s story just has to be a hair more believable than the other person’s alibi.

Workplace harassment cases are emphatically not like criminal cases. A false negative (acquiting a guilty person) usually has no direct negative effect in most criminal cases. A murder victim doesn’t much care if the state incorrectly acquits her murderer. Workplace harassment is more like the land boundary case. Somebody gets the land; a false negative means one party has been wrongly deprived of her land while the other party had received an undeserved windfall. In a workplace, likewise, an accuser who is telling the truth but is not believed is wrongfully forced to either continue working with her harasser, or to give up valuable career opportunities. A false negative (failing to believe a truthful accuser), is pretty much as bad as a false positive.

Feel like some of the other comments are sort of missing the point of the article although the author probably could have been clearer in what his point was.

My take is that this is targeted toward people without any sort of traditional/university CS background trying to get into tech from scratch and in addition to taking a basic javascript course or whatever are following the standard advice you hear of "you need to have some side projects to get employers attention." Think its just trying to give some pointers to people going down that path with the very specific larger goal of it leading to a full time job.

So ya, I would bet the author would probably agree that side projects are almost valuable in and of themselves, but some are going to be more likely then others to lead towards a full time position, etc.

You put it well.

It saved my younger brother's life in terms of a brain operation where the (thankfully benign) tumor had reached the size of a standard California navel orange. He was a child. It cost my parents nothing for the immediate invasive surgery, the subsequent week+ stay and treatment, and recurring visits, checkups and studies.

When my father was a child the Sick Kids hospital in Toronto (disclaimer: also a charity, not solely OHIP) looked after my father regularly. I grew up with stories he'd tell about the state of children in that place from the time he spent with them while he was there.

To expand upon your statement "by early adulthood many Canadians will have personally seen it help more loved ones than it harms" — this is the best way to put it. When it's not such a scarce and hallowed resource, people don't just go to look after their health if they have money, or are sick, or worse. They go to maintain good health, and don't typically abuse it otherwise. There are holes to fill yet, but just the same I think it's common knowledge that people love the system enough that they would fight against its hypothetical removal — especially in the face of promises of tax cuts, or other "trickle-down" benefits. At the same time it doesn't change the common opinion that certain aspects need improvements.

3 Defining Trends in Enterprise Application Development Landscape
Project Treble[0] is a good 80% solution which makes it much easier to run mainline AOSP on new devices [1]. Ports still need to fix device-specific bugs, and camera image processing optimizations won't work unless they're implemented beneath the HAL (or hacked into a custom ROM). You'll also need a modern (8.0) unlocked device. Besides those caveats, it's a big improvement.

All more the reason to shine a light on these ideas. They won't hold under scrutiny. Blind obedience is not a reasonable expectation of people. We need to understand how our civilization got to where it is while others failed. There really is no such thing as "final purge". If purging becomes part of our ideology there will always be another enemy to deal with and the division will never end.

Agreed, they make a good point, however, I think the terms of service are binding, and if what we're doing changes, we _must_ update them. This, of course, does not change the fact that we've collected a lot of data and it would suddenly fall under the new terms of service.

With that said, I actively delete customer data on request, and a terms of service change like this _might_ (very reasonably) prompt someone to request their data to be deleted, and since terms of service are not typically immediately effective without consent, I feel strongly that I would make sure I could remove data for people who do not agree with the new terms of service. What I'm saying, is that I would fight very hard for my customers, like, ridiculously hard.

As said above – I am not the CEO – I don't have controlling interest, and there is absolutely some future where the things I said above are impossible to execute. I have not felt that way yet, and I am very conscious of the possibility if that in the future, and will stay vigilant both for my customers and for my own peace of mind to make sure we're always doing the right thing.
