Sony was so legendary in terms of their CRT.

There is a saying in Vietnam that goes "Sharp/Fine like a Sony," when someone talks about an act, a product, or a person so fine. That's in the context of a culture that does not (as) often associate products with brands (for example, they say photocopy instead of xerox, clasp locker instead of zipper, permanent marker instead of sharpie,...)
The Nissan Leaf is already the model T. It's been out 6 years, is affordable, and has DC fast charging. Besides my own, I see them every day here in Kansas City, along with the Model S.
There's everything wrong with converting old WORKING Perl scripts to something else that probably will not be working when they are old like the Perl scripts would... Talk about introducing maintenance overhead...
There's lots of evidence that people in their early 20s and under are psychologically different than older people (higher rates of anxiety/depression at the same age, etc.). Anecdotally, I've noticed that people don't talk to strangers as much on planes anymore as when I was a child.

I guess you could argue that technology isn't to blame, but technology changes people. And it's hard not to use technology when it's so pervasive. At work I have a hard time not eating donuts when someone brings them in. Technology is similar. If everyone around you is on their phone or facebook or whatever it takes a lot of willpower/willingness to be different to not do the same.

I believe Bolt is capped at 50kW fast charging, whereas superchargers provide 120kW, so not so fast for Bolt ;) (probably at least an hour to fully charge it's 60kWh battery)

CRISPR (cas9, cpf1 et al), hands down.

What it can do, what it's likely to do, and we're only in the first inning of understanding how to utilize it and manipulate it. I believe vaccines are the only medical discovery/creation that will end up being comparable in impact on humanity. CRISPR will enable us to directly, fully seize control over our evolution (we've obviously been subtly affecting that for thousands of years).

It'll take a process spanning decades for the most remarkable applications to be discovered and commercialized (or otherwise made available for the general population), and it'll be worth the wait. We'll gradually strip countless inherited diseases from the entire human race in the span of a few generations. Breast cancer? 99.7% wiped out. Parkinson's inheritance? Gone. Cystic fibrosis? Gone. The age of antibiotic resistant infections? CRISPR will solve that soon as well. And so on. As with vaccinations, there will be numerous CRISPR therapies/cures/applications that will be extraordinarily cheap, pennies per person, and deployed to all persons on earth (as with vaccines, it'll take decades of gradual generic'ization, initially all therapies will be expensive, then many will become common, and then they'll be globally deployed for pennies per person).
That's why all 3 steps are necessary, I know plenty of people who fill step 1 and step 3 but never do step 2 - so they just end up leaving instead of getting a raise.

Yeah but AWS doesn't guarantee that "2x m5.xlarge" will meet any kind of performance requirements, particularly your own application's, do they?

So you may suddenly find that your own performance requirements, that were previously satisfied by "2x m5.xlarge" are no longer being met by that configuration, and I doubt AWS will just provide you with more resources at no additional charge.

One advantage a new investor has over someone who provided Spotify with Seed/Series A is greater diversification. Suppose I'm a VC that invested in Spotify, it succeeded and my 20 other seed investments all failed. My retirement wealth is entirely dependent on it's success in the future - your comment outlines why this is risky. Since I am risk averse, I can sell this to a pension fund who will keep it as 1% of their total holdings and we can both be better off, even if we have the same view of the company's likely success in the future.

Of course, if everyone has too optimistic a view on Spotify's future success (could well be the case, I don't have an informed opinion) then buying the stock is a bad idea. But there is not necessarily anything sinister going on when founders/early investors cash out. From Spotify's point of view, they have an inventive to keep these people happy, balanced against the greater regulatory/oversight costs that you highlight.
Archaeology. Technological advances in mapmaking, map-parsing and surveying (drones) are leading to a golden age in excavation, on a level unseen since the XIX century. They now have software that can literally just sit there spouting suggestions all day: “hey, this pattern around fields in Nolandia-sur-nothing looks a bit too regular, wanna investigate?”

And there is still so much that can be done, as digitalization is solving the “dusty archives” problem and neural networks might soon be able to suggest links between material (“this parchment fragment here might be related to that fragment in a museum on the other side of he world, which they’ve even forgot they had”).

Unfortunately the obstacle is always the same: money. There is little or no money to be made digging up old vases, and often plenty to actually forget about the vases altogether and let this or that new building be constructed on top of them (or destroying them).

If you run things efficiently you're eaking every ounce of performance out of this hardware. A 30% performance hit means a 30% cost increase.

The bigger issue is for things that don't scale easily. That sql server that was at 90% capacity is suddenly unable to handle the load. Sure that could've happened organically, but now it happens (perhaps literally) overnight for everyone all at once.

It's easy to quantify - look for another job - if you're getting offers for a certain salary - that's your minimum value.

Now ask for more.

When the offers stop, you've found your value.

Likewise - you are more valuable to your current company as you have domain knowledge whereas a new hire will require training, keep that in mind.
> Now, no matter the cost—at least $100 billion—the city must rebuild it to survive.

Why are transit-build costs so much more expensive in New York compared to other major international cities?

The cost of new underground railway is between $400 million and $700 million per mile in cities like London, Tokyo, and Berlin.

The Second Avenue subway in New York cost $2.5 billion per mile, which is five times the average elsewhere in the world.
Right, I guess underlying theme is to delay dealing with real world as much as possible. It seems to be happening everywhere.
Good naming helps. If you strive to make it obvious what each subroutine does, you can treat them as small black boxes (until you need to look into a specific function). Obviously, there needs to be some balance and not go crazy in either direction.
Pensions make a lot of sense mathematically. If I personally fund my retirement I have to save enough for the "worst" case scenario of living many years longer than average. A pension on the other hand only has to invest enough for the average lifespan because the person who dies a week before retirement and collects nothing helps fund the person who lives to be 105.

State pensions are in trouble because govt pensions are allowed to assume overly optimistic rates of return.
My argument is made against things you CAN control and DO know about. Sorry, I should have included that disclaimer.

So taking that into account now, is it still a bad example? Should I pay for somebody's lung cancer treatment after they have smoked a pack or more a day for the last 30 years? We have been well aware of the risks with smoking and we can almost for certain say the lung cancer has a high correlation to the 30 year smoking history. So yes, that person knowingly made that decision, why do I have to pay for it?

I'm sorry, but there has to be consequences for peoples decisions. We can't all grow up eating fast food, smoking, drinking, watching Netflix and getting fat knowing that our long term healthcare costs per individual that chooses that lifestyle will be astronomical. Society can't afford that.

Also, we are learning more and more about just how much being obese affects the rest of your health. Along with more correlations in the causes of cancer. Yes, there are many things we do not know, and I do not fault anyone for that. But a large percent of health issues and the costs associated with those in America are VERY well known and VERY much preventable. Period.

I would never want the government to step in and say, no you can't eat that twinkie because your BMI is over a certain level. I will always advocate for an individuals right to make a decision for themselves. However, if they know the risks and consequences associated with those decisions and still choose to make them, why in hell would that burden fall on the rest of the society?

I think you need to go read, or re-read, Adam Smith's book, The Wealth of Nations, or the principles of enlighten self interest. You have the wrong mindset that taking personal responsibility for your own actions is a "I've got mine - screw you" thing. Suffering? The freedom for individuals to make their own decisions and why we are a prosperous nation in the first place. It's why people came here. What do you propose as far as going in the right direction of individuality? Limiting consequences of known actions? Forced government redistribution? Maybe I just live in a very nice state (Texas), but down here, we do take care of our neighbor. We do help one another when in need. I would even say we do so more today than ever before. However when you knowingly do something on your own accord that is risky, you will pay for the consequences, not your neighbor. Maybe we should just take the approach of, hey, I know you smoked for 30 years knowing it will kill you eventually and will cost a ton in medical bills... and we told you that every single time you took a cigarette out of the pack, but we'll cover that cost for you! Hey, we know you were fully aware that when you robbed that store that the risks of getting caught were high and the consequence is going to jail, but you know what? We'll pay that for you too and you're free to go. You can't remove consequence from the decision making process, it's human nature.
If money weren't a concern, I'd definitely want to work on improving science, particularly social science. Right now, there seems to be a lot of medium-hanging fruit for systematic improvements that don't get built, because there's not much incentive to do so within academia. OSF has done some great work here, and I'd want to start something similar .

Semantics is important when you're trying to change the definition of a word that is rigorously defined. Your assertion that the bumpy piece of plastic in the article focus's or disperse's light is false because it does neither, it diffuses light. Focus and disperse have very specific meanings in physics that are not met by an arbitrary piece of material.

If you're confident that a diffuser meets the physical definition of a lens could you point me to reference material that is from something a bit more rigorous than ylighting's webpage? I have yet to see any physics source refer to a diffuser as a lens, Edmund Optics [0] is very precise in their aversion to using that term for a diffuser.

I have yet to find any physics texts that indicate a diffuser is a lens. Please correct me if you have a source because ylighting looks like a commercial supplier using the same imprecise language that you were.

I am happy to stand corrected but I'm not okay with the top comment on a science article undermining scientific definitions.

Sure you can be in the top 50% of parents by just not actively trying to screw them up, but I'd like to do better than that, within reason, and tech/screens/Web seem to me like pretty big things worthy of a little attention and care, especially as they get older. Finding something like a least-harm/most-benefit way to fit that into our home lives is probably worth spending some thought on.

BTW if you have a device that takes component (i.e. PVM's) you can use an HDMI->Component adapter and drive 240P/480I/480P directly from the Pi with no rescaling :)

The HDMI output on the Pi is really flexible... you can even coax 2160P24 out of it... at least for static 2D displays.

> Money stops buying you happiness below $80k/year

I assume you mean above and that's a very strong claim that I've found personally to be quite false.
I read that this bug goes back several years; "replacing all defective products for free" could be a massive expense, and assuming it includes current chips, there's also some lag time and engineering effort to get to the point where they could start doing so.
It is isn't it ? Especially with crypto currencies.
For highlights, after NSA I went to Intel and worked on early CMOS camera image sensors - you could put processor logic in the same die. Then went to a small company that designed Iridium Satellite communications chips - personal satellite communications from anywhere in the world! - as well as hyperspectral imaging spy satellites - instead of just Bayer RGB, you had 1000 wavelengths of sensor per pixel.. good for identification. Then went on as a consultant to help companies & startups make their first ASICs, as well as make GPUs at ATI, including XBox360's GPU - probably the longest produced game system.

After that I went directly into fashion where I got to make a fashion magazine that included contributors like Cindy Crawford and other top fashion industry people, based solely on our creative draw (I never pay contributors, but each issue kept getting higher-and-higher profile contributors), and now engage with thousands of top fashion brands, dealing with the art, tech, and business aspects, an industry still largely separate from Silicon Valley.
Oh it surely was a life threatening event, but it was solved long before humans were upright. After that it was mostly tweaking.

About sedentary lives, I'm fairly convinced that nomadism made for stronger everything, bones, tendons, muscles (coordination too) so their lifestyle (granted you're not living near cliffs and have enough food) didn't increase the % of fracture.
I think this could occur on any CPU that doesn't have a separate TLB for kernel mode and has speculative execution. So far it looks like it only occurs on Intel's CPUs but I don't think that has anything to do with RISC vs CISC. I believe Linux was at least looking at applying this change to arm64 as well and this is likely going to lead to a design change in RISC-V to avoid having issues like this so it can happen to RISC designs as well.
I'm an American. At the age of 13 my dad bought me a motorcycle that I used to ride around in the desert while he was at work. By 16 I was basically living alone. My kid, on the other hand, is 13 right now, and while he can code some pretty mean Minecraft mods, he doesn't even know how to do the dishes or get to school on his own. (Coincidentally, his mother is from Moscow, Russia and used to regularly take the subway to school...) I think maybe it has to do with the suburban sprawl we live in now -- it's populated enough that you can't wander in the forest, etc., but it's a mile hike to the nearest library or store. Why do that bullshit when you have fiber?
They are (or were) remarkably ethnically homogeneous.
Stone age & early bronze age history, archeology, anthropology.

I find the genesis of storytelling, religion and how we conceptualize the world fascinating, even (especially?) where it comes in tiny fragments. Things that are so deep-rooted now that we take them for granted, like perceiving the world through discrete objects, language, social reward structures.

As the evolutionary rat-race accelerates and niches get obsoleted more and more quickly, there seems to be an increasing business opportunity in digging deeper into what makes us human, what defines our sense of "self". Facebook, Zynga & co already exploit that. Understanding these patterns has tremendous business value, even if only to better protect ourselves.

What tunes do we dance to? How were these rivers historically formed, what is their inertia, future direction? How much of ourselves is cargo-culting on by-gone fitness landscapes? Humanity is the collector's luxury item of the future.
Frap: Formal Reasoning About Programs
Extra functions of the bones cannot explain fully his question.

If it is possible to for the body to synthesize whatever material, it can create a frame for the bones, then wrap that frame in bio-active layers. Basically, a skeleton for the skeleton. Given the intricacies of other body organs (think the sizes and complexity of the eyes, says), such is not too hard of the task.

In fact, this probably answers all other concerns raised here. Corrosion and electric-conductive? A bio-compatible wrap (similar to enameled steel) solves that. Grinding between different bones? The ends of the bone can be built out of different material than the fragile length.

Furthermore, none of these concerns matter for, says, horns, especially the tips. Evolutionary speaking, it makes complete sense for animal to evolve steel-tipped horns: these steel parts hurt no one but their enemies.

(also note, carbon fiber avoids a lot of these bio compatibility issues).

In other words, animal kingdom did not have metal parts because synthesis is impossible, rather than because of disadvantages of metals per se.

If you want a pay rise find a job offer with a higher salary. Go to your current manager and ask them to match. If they don't leave and go to the higher paying job.

I think that's the only way to get a pay rise nowadays, aside from small yearly raises like 2-3%

If you don't have another offer and aren't willing to walk away, you really have no leverage to ask for more money.
