Under a different lens, that implies that previously iOS-only engineers now must also become familiar with the macOS codebase, and so more able to contribute to it. Given the large number of those engineers compared to the previous size of the macOS team, this may help more than hurt macOS (as long as you assume the engineering teams are of equivalent quality.)
Does this really affect the cold start? Even if you use the native runtime it still is running in a separate container and you need to start the node process anyway. (Honest question, didn't measure it).

The size would definitely be affected.

Exiting the country might be the most worthwhile long term choice for a company. China has clearly indicated, through it's actions, that it's mainly interested in technology transfer to shore up it's domestic competitors. It's not really interested in giving foreigners a fair shot at its market.

This might not be very true for Apple (as it's really mostly a luxury smartphone maker), bit it is for a lot of the companies that would like to do business there.

You have rediscovered the "philosophical zombie" problem.[0]

Dr. Giulio Tononi[1] has developed an apparatus for calculating what he calls "integrated information"[2] which seems so far from limited experiments to be a good corrolary to the presence of consciousness in biological systems.

It's currently computationally intractable for the human brain at full resolution but heuristics are being developed to minimize that problem.

I think the hostility is reasonable: https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/12/28/nyregion/new-york-subw.... When New York spends five times as much to do the same thing as London and Paris, why should I support it? And New York, by virtue of its sheer wealth, is at least minimally functional. When I lived in Westchester, I drove my car maybe once a month. Most other places are non-functional. I used to ride the Amtrak between DC and Baltimor every day. The question was not whether I was going to be late, but how late I was going to be. The Baltimore light rail comes kind of when it feels like it.

If US transit wasn’t so unbelievably shitty and inefficient, there might be some stomach in funding it.

Well, let's analyze each of your questions in turn.

> Since I came to the US there is this constant push for impeaching the sitting president

When did you come to the USA?

There was a constant push to impeach Obama. There was a constant push to impeach Bush. The was a constant push to impeach Clinton.

Clinton was elected in 1993, so there are a lot of adult Americans who were born in the USA and who can also say that "since I came to the US (aka was born), there has been this constant push for impeaching the sitting president".

> but I doubt the solution involves all games performing state updates using on-chain transactions in a single, shared blockchain.

Right, and there are people working on the blockchain level with very compelling bandwidth improvement solutions.

You might find one interesting, take a look.

There are people making silly games right now on the understanding that the infrastructure they are building on will improve. These people are doing this because it helps them understand the toolkits, language and infrastrcture, which has a massive upside in their opportunities by merely exposing themselves to it now. When the infrastructure is already there, and the books exist, and the college kids are learning it at state schools, the opportunities won't be nearly as great for them. And yes, they can be wrong!

But it isn't as simple as you (and everyone other competent full stack engineer) questioning their life choices and being the only people to notice that the underlying platform has an uncompetitive limitation right now.

I know that parts of the App Store prefpane (e.g. "remember password after purchases") require the iCloud auth flow. That might have affected the local auth flow somehow.

Chatbots are, at present, fancy command-line interfaces. I believe that they have great potential, but I don't think they will transcend the CLI until they are conversational and able to understand language at the level of IBM's Watson. At present, each chatbot has a list of keywords with aliases that activate commands with parameters, and they are unable to act unless they recognize a keyword. They need to be able to infer beyond keywords, and they need to be able to hold the context of a conversation in memory.

> The tricky bit about consciousness is that nobody can find a useful way to measure or define it

This, particularly the “define” part, is the key problem.

> Now imagine we magically imbue that deer with a consciousness in this situation. What measurably changes about their behavior? They still scream, try to run, struggle to survive — I can’t think of any way the situation would be different.

Of course you can't, because you haven't defined what consciousness means. Without a definition, you can't answer the question of “what is different if it is present vs. absent”.

> Thus, the claim “deers have consciousness” is non-falsifiable

It's beyond that, it's meaningless.

Because in America, transit is welfare for poor people, and acts like it. Busses in small cities in Germany coordinate schedules to optimize transfers. Busses in secondary US cities just don’t shown up sometimes because the driver decided to clock out early. There is no accountability, due to the potent combination of the fact that the primary constituency is politically marginalized to begin with and also are not paying the taxes that fund the systems.

Totally! Get in the car, kick back, take a nap, finish some work, do some video calls, watch some TV... long commutes will be so much more tolerable.
the reason the premium consumer market doesn't sell dumb TVs is that it would wring all of the profits out of selling TVs. consumer electronics companies want to be seen as "adding value" on top of the display. if they don't, then manufacturers can just go direct to consumer, cutting them out of the value chain and redirecting profits to the manufacturers (and some to consumers in the form of lower prices).

if they priced dumb TVs higher than their smart TVs, it would signal the negative value of the "smarts" in the TV, so they don't want to do that.

so none of the electronics manufacturers really want to sell dumb TVs to the mass market, since it would be akin to committing corporate suicide (in that particular product category).

of course one way around this is to brand a technical feature (as with sony's trinitron back in the day) and make that carry the value premium in the dumb TV, which would be how you'd approach the enthusiast segment you mention.
This is literally the reason we have a bicameral legislature. One represents the state, the other represents the local populations.
Electric motors are less complicated and more reliable than piston engines (as in small helicopters), I'd say (not sure about turbines). And then there's the ballistic parachute rescue system, though of course there's a minimum altitude you need for that.

The Volocopter (a competing concept that actually exists and has had manned flights since 2016) has 18 rotors (six arms with 3 rotors each in a single plane), opposite rotors driven by the same battery/drivetrain ensemble, from what I gather, and remains controllable with up to 3 rotors (at least) faulty.

I'd hope well engineered aircraft of this sort will surpass safety of traditional helicopters, but let's see.
To maybe clarify what dasil003 means, state-of-the-art encryption for this requires that everyone has a pair of keys, one of which they keep a secret - their Private Key, and one of which they tell all of their friends, acquaintances, everyone who might ever want to communicate with them - their Public Key.

And then if you want to talk to them, you encrypt your message with their Public Key. Then only they can decrypt it with their Private Key (assuming no one else their Private Key).

But if a hacker / NSA agent / script kiddo pretends to be your friend and tells you their Public Key, then they'll be able to decrypt your messages with their Private Key. You might never know that they aren't your friend.

You'll have to ensure that you actually have the Public Key of your friend by some other method. For example meet them in person to exchange Public Keys, or read it out over the phone, if you know what their voice sounds like on the phone.

I think you're confusing "consciousness" with "cognition". A deer is cognizant; it observes and reacts to the world around it, among other qualities of cognition. But it does not have self awareness and does not have abstract thought or any thought beyond carnal ones (eat, sleep, run, fight, etc.).

Consciousness is definitely measurable and definable, but context is important as the word is used in many different scenarios. Terry Schiavo was conscious (because she is a human and humans are conscious beings) but was also not conscious (because she lost her faculties for consciousness).

To your points, the first step of talking about consciousness is defining the "rules of engagement", the context under which consciousness is discussed. Practically speaking, consciousness is a trait that separates humans from "everything else". When things display human-like tendencies (reacting to pain, showing affection, communicating, using tools, etc.), we say they are "conscious".

Meltdown and Spectre Patches Bricking Ubuntu 16.04 Computers
I think the next game-changing evolution in programming languages is moving beyond plaintext.

Our basic building blocks of programming has not changed essentially since the beginning of programming.

We still treat programs as nothing but a bunch of files and folders edited with the same tools that writers use to write romance novels (yeah yeah "intellisense" is not so intelli at the end of the day).

We don't create beautiful images by writing RGB values in a text editor. We shouldn't be creating highly complex software systems with them either.

We need model based editing environments that will allow us to have a much richer set of software building blocks.

We have to allow software to be more than just characters in files. Software "source" is not a book. It's the blueprint for a system that has metadata and constraints attached to it. It can't comfortably and forever exist in a flat plaintext structure for human consumption.

If you are interested go dig up my old comments I have written more elaborate rants about it before.

And yes I'm ready for the inevitable and customary "NO IT AINT GON WORK WE TRIED BEFORE AND IT AINT WORTH TRYIN EVER EVER AGAIN" replies.

I'd imagine if two stacked ones go out, you'd be in trouble (as the centre of gravity will not be exactly in the intersection of the two diagonals).
The reason it's so fascinating though, is that because it is a many-variable optimization problem where 1) many of the variables conflict and 2) we haven't actually agreed on the desired optimum. In the end it still very much has a "you know it when you see it" quality, and nobody has come up with math that definitively says "yes this is" or "no this isn't".

Actually, it's maybe a little like spam filtering.
Because it’s an inefficient use of time and money. All that you’ll achieve is less people cycling and that’s exactly the opposite of what you want. Think about the practicality of a cycle license: do you expect a 6 year old to pass a test before cycling? A ten year old to carry along a license when he goes out? You can’t even fine them because the statuary limit in germany is 14. You can’t fine the parents either because parents are not obliged to keep their kids in sight all the time. Adults are already very likely to have a drivers license, should they now need a cycling license on top.

So make better use of the time and money: create safe infrastructure or - as a better investment train those that already have a license requirement and that insist on moving around tons of steel. Maybe increase the number of hours in school that deal with safe conduct in traffic. Or - gasp - fine the people blocking cycle lanes and otherwise endangering cyclist hard.

Yeah, it's not exactly the longest playtime you can have for a game. I mean, I've personally played Breath of the Wild for more than 500 hours across profiles, and various 3DS games (Luigi's Mansion 2 and the Mario & Luigi titles) for 200+ hours a piece.

And that's still nothing when you consider that many people play your average Pokemon or Animal Crossing game for many hundreds or even thousands of hours, or how long people spend playing MMORPGs or other multiplayer focused titles.

300-400 hours is impressive for a game like this one, but obsessive might be something closer to a World of Warcraft who's played the game for eight hours a day for six years, or someone whose entire YouTube career is based on being really good at a single game (like pannekoek or Stryder7x).
