The fact that you knew only one person with a Mac when the iPod came out really makes you rather unsuited to speak about what went on with the iPod in the greater Mac community at a time when the iPod was exclusive to Macs. You are falling prey to the availability heuristic[1].

Your recollection matches mine. I got my first 2nd gen ipod when I was using windows and when it still came bundled with musicmatch (which was worse than any version of itunes). Ecosystem was not a consideration, storage space and ease of use were. The huge screen, clean UI and clickwheel were a major improvement over contemporary mp3 players.

That ipod still works. Every once in a while I charge it and listen to the gentle clicking of its tiny drive.

> From below comes a series of interconnected criminal insurgencies in which the global disenfranchised resist, coopt, and route around states as they seek ways to empower and enrich themselves in the shadows of the global economy. Drug cartels, human traffickers, computer hackers, counterfeiters, arms dealers, and others exploit the loopholes, exceptions, and failures of governance institutions to build global commercial empires.

I wouldn't call drug cartels, human traffickers, computer hackers, counterfeiters, and arms dealers the "global disenfranchised" at all. I'd call them very powerful, but criminal. "Criminal" is not the same as "disenfranchised"; "powerless" is.

So what the quote means to say is that there are two sets of powerful people seeking to carve out spaces for themselves. One operates totally outside the law, the other operates within the law but wants a space where fewer laws apply to them.
Hm, you’re right. I didn’t notice it but the album I tried it was “digital download + limited edition print”... mea culpa.
The point is the Mirai's engine looks far more like the electric engine of one of their hybrid's electric engines than something unique, alien, or otherwise exotic and unique to fuel cells. They couldn't afford their parallel investment strategy otherwise.

The use of the term side-game has nothing to do with how heavily they are investing in parallel strategies, but an implication in how their executives see those strategies. To them PHEVs [and hybrids in general to them] are still a "side-game" because they are making (very) good short-term profit, but the executives still seem to be playing as if they expect to lose that game in the long run, are ready to "fold" that work at any moment, and that Hydrogen is the game they expect to win.

No kidding, this also works in large organizations when teams/departments want to increase their budget. Create a project using some buzzword tech, or say you will integrate it in an existing project, and the people with their fingers on the money trigger are much easier to convince. Even if it makes no sense or adds no real value, it can gain you significant budget room to make other changes you want or need to do, and the higher ups get to brag about how they are implementing blockchains everywhere..

Look at it in smaller transformations. Compiler optimizations are kinda like algebra - many small structured steps result in hard, large changes.

for(a = AcquireLock(), c = 0; c < 100; c++) {
synchronized(this) {
f();
}
}
ReleaseLock(a);

Per definition of the for-loop, that's the same as:

a = AcquireLock();
c = 0;
while (c < 100) {
synchronized(this) { f(); }
c++;
}
ReleaseLock(a);

From there, you can deduce: 'c < 100' and 'c++' don't depend on a and have no side effects besides c. Furthermore, there is no guarantee about two consecutive synchronized blocks actually releasing the lock. Thus, you can safely lift the synchronized block from the loop. However, as AcquireLock and ReleaseLock are function calls with unknown behavior, you can't coarsen the lock further in your example.

Interestingly enough, if you'd talk about 'f(c = 0, g(); c < 100; c++)', the optimizations above might be impossible because you don't know if the call to g modifies c. Unless you can inline g, so you can re-arrange instructions again.

From the article:

Why do news outlets persistently misrepresent what he actually said? I've read his memo and just about every news article says it contains claims that it doesn't. I have no view on whether he's right or not, but I remain shocked at the misrepresentation of his views throughout the tech media.

"It aims to represent all employees of Google who’ve been discriminated against due to their “perceived conservative political views by Google,” due to “their male gender by Google” and “due to their Caucasian race by Google."

I'm hugely disappointed that they discontinued the shuffle. It's the best music player for workouts period. No fussing with the bluetooth pairing, just plug in headphones, clip and go.

I personally use mine for swimming. You can buy waterproofed shuffles such as this one: http://a.co/f64p74y and they work extremely well for swimming. In fact when the shuffle was discontinued I immediately bought another one as backup to my trusty waterproof shuffle that I've used for 3 years.

> But when the Republican Congress decriminalizes marijuana ahead of the mid-terms

With what votes, and what leadership?

The entirety of the GOP house leadership opposes any form of legal cannabis. Messer, the policy committee chair, even opposes medical cannabis for vets prescribed by their VA doctor and residing in states where medical cannabis is legal.

Concretely, which GOP representatives do you think will vote for decriminalization? I'm incredulous, but curious to hear a rational argument that this is a remotely reasonable expectation.
> Also, "Function" would be inaccurate because they are not mathematical functions but procedures or "subroutines" (the "standard" word in the middle of the seventies).

From the paper: "Each word wi defines a transition function between machine states w_i: S → S" where S is...

> represented by a state S = (D,R,H,c), which contains
two stacks: a data evaluation pushdown stack D (data
stack) holds values for manipulation, and a return address
pushdown stack R (return stack) assists with return pointers
and subroutine calls. These are accompanied by a heap or
random memory access buffer H, and a program counter c.

Maybe I'm missing something. If I wrote an implementation where state comprised two immutable lists for the stacks and an immutable map for the heap, wouldn't that capture the semantics of words in as a pure function?
Hard to sue publications.
So a city is a hub when the airline does maintenance at that location? How often does an airplane require maintenance? Then you talk about minihubs, pseudo hubs, and Focus Cities. What does point to point mean for someone in the business? Seems to me with all of this contorted vocab to keep Southwest in the hub system it might mean it really is a different type of airline. Not hub based but something else (as you say it is not a point to point airline)?

Maybe the word I should use is non-stop for the type of flight that people want. "point to point" seems to have some technical meaning that I don't grok. What makes the Seattle to San Jose a point to point route but other Seattle flights by Southwest not point to point?
no one would be able to write a smart contract on top of your cryptocurrency if it is not on the same blockchain or follow certain standards cryptocurrency exchanges expect to have in a tradable digital asset.

For example in Solidity a language that targets the Ethereum Virtual Machine. You can have constructor parameters in your contracts like addressOfTokenUsedAsReward, then you provide the smart contract address ex "0x12dgsdg..." of the token you built. These contracts unlike your mysql database are immutable and the code can't be changed, even if there is a vulnerability in it.
The greatest innovation of the iPod was the bold move to make the earbuds white. This made the music player - usually tucked away in the pocket - a visible symbol of status and coolness. Together with a brilliant marketing campaign which made it into a must-have fashion item, and special content contracts, it made the iPod a huge success.

Technical aspects really aren't what made the iPod successful. Sure, the clickwheel was a really great idea, and it was an overall well-polished product. But other players were good too. Without the marketing, and without the breakthrough pricing of music on the iTunes Music Store (complete with iPod-ecosystem lockin via DRM), it would have gone nowhere.

In some ways the iPhone is a similar story IMO, but I guess that's even more controversial...

> Their rates have gone negative, from time to time.

Nobody disputes that occasionally, real rates have turned negative (Great depression, 1970's, or after the GFC 2011-2013 in the USA, with some countries in Europe even having negative nominal rates). However, predominantly real rates are positive [1, 2, 3 or even your 1], and some of the earlier episodes were arguably caused by the gold standard.

> non-bank institutions who couldn't find a buyer for their Treasuries fast enough to avoid default on short-term debt.

That's a liquidity problem, as you say yourself, unrelated to rates, no?
EDIT: ah, you're refuting the notion that treasuries are safer than cash. Again, though, you could call that a liquidity problem - if you have loads of cash deposited with a local bank, you might not be able to withdraw it all at once, either.

With PoW, you'd need to pay for enough hardware and electricity to rival half of the hash rate of the entire network. With PoS, you'd need to pay enough to own half of the coins. Both are prohibitively expensive. PoS also discourages you from such an attack as you'd be destroying the value of the coins you own.

>> people in the U.S. are far more free, prosperous, and safe than those in China.

> This sort of statement is entirely subjective

It's not at all subjective. There are many objective measurements of prosperity, such as income and wealth per capita, and freedom, such as human rights. Freedom House is a good source for an an objective, annual review of human rights (last I knew; I haven't looked at it in a little while).
News outlets generate income through sensationalism, and that's the storyline that they need to drive the most traffic.

Why is it healthy to have many small players? Larger companies have the resources to put experts on hard problems. They also have the vested incentive (since they have more to lose if they fail) to handle things like security correctly---I trust Facebook and Google to use security and authentication best-practices much more than J.

His memo was more along the lines of "women are less represented in tech because the industry does not favor their traits which are possibly a result of biological differences"
I mean, if you're trying to make a living, it is a competition.
From his memo:

> I’m not saying that all men differ from all women in the following ways or that these
differences are “just.” I’m simply stating that the distribution of preferences and abilities of men
and women differ in part due to biological causes and that these differences may explain why
we don’t see equal representation of women in tech and leadership.

He said exactly that, right there. Why do conservatives always appear to defend this guy and try to pretend the memo wasn't full of repugnant crap.
MacOS High Sierra 10.13.2 Supplemental Update
Ethereum, Bitcoin, Ripple and others fall nearly 30% – Here’s Why
The incentives for building a crypto product with real intentions of bringing a product to people vs. writing a whitepaper for fundraising are alarming.

Besides the rising fees (which can be mitigated with added protocol layers like lightning) the real problem is people understanding cryptocurrencies as investment. "Crypto investors" and people hoping to get rich quick who don't understand the fundamental philosophy of Bitcoin/Crypto are strangling innovation by adding "noise" attention to whatever developers like us "signal" are making.

Personally, I hope the bubble bursts, everyone lose their money and we go back to the original community of people building stuff, who see cryptocurrency as a technology, not an "investment". If Bitcoin drops to $1, I will still write software for it and won't miss the 'craze' factor.

Epic series. Age of Empires II and III were my favorite, and most played RTS games. I spent hundreds of hours battling friends and strangers online. The games had a lot of depth, looked amazing, and no two matches were ever the same.
iPods, however, were much more prevalent than other digital, portable media players. iPod Classic likely will have a comeback, as people are talking about it right now. There's was a lot of chatter when the movie Baby Driver was released, as the main character uses one, and the director talked a lot about his. Google "ipod classic nostalgia" or "ipod baby driver" to see a lot of articles.
You are saying that programming is the same as an instruction manual? Programming is art. Nearly every objective in programming will have over a million potential implementations. Personality, wisdom, and mood are in every program (obviously there are some Hello World exceptions) just like artistic writing and nothing like an instruction manual. Machine code is an instruction manual compiled by a computer, a program is a piece of art created by humans.

Cheap GoPro eroded their margins, and ignored the fact that for most people their cell phone is good enough for video.
Karma, and their gimbal is great, but products like Rylo saw the future as being motor-less. And after using it, I agree.

If the karma had built a battery-less Fusion, they would have had something that was new, instead of trying to play catch up and gerry-rigging a GoPro to a drone.

I still have hope, but they got take more risks and build their future not someone else's.
Very well could be. But it's certain that any cheaply made item is going to have poor working conditions, poor quality of life, and poor return on investment. I think we need to define what I mean by "expensive" because, for example, an iPhone can be thought of as expensive purchase but I honestly think it is too cheap. What I mean is that we need to evaluate the total cost of ownership. "Is this item that I'm buying made in a way that benefits humanity?"

For example, the LED light bulb market had such promise but now is flooded with cheaply made bulbs that are made with components that will fail before they should. The pollution cost to mine all the rare earth materials that go into these light bulbs are not reflected in their final cost, and in my opinion, they should be.
