At my son's school which is heavy on engineering, a lot of the students were sporting Surface Pros. My son opted for the Yoga fully decked out. The IT department doesn't recommend Apple in their one-sheet recommended specs. I think it is because of the prevalence of Windows-based software like AutoCAD (I know it's on Mac, but not the same. I used it on my PowerMac PC many years ago). At our engineering firm, nobody uses a an Apple even the marketing department for presentations and graphics.
I see a lot of Surface Pros at meetings with architects too, drawing on photos and brainstorming ideas. I am in the Entertainment Engineering industry.

I think the word that was being grasped for is 'faster'.

Ask yourself a question. Do you believe that at any point in future, we will have a reliable store of value in form of digital information? Banks don't provide that, it's somebody else saying that he will take care of your money an give you when you need it. We want some kind of gold but in a digital form. Information as a value in its most direct form. I believe we are going to have it. It would be a sad future without having such thing, now that we know it's possible.

Second question. Is it going to be Bitcoin? Obviously it's possible and inevitable that there will be (or there is already) a cryptocurrency that's technically superior to Bitcoin in every aspect. So let's assume we switch to that, you move your "savings" from Bitcoin to X. But of course, at some point there will be something Pareto better than X. Is it going to be Y or Z? And is it already time to switch? Run that scenario in your head. It just doesn't work. You can't have a reliable store of value like that. Ever.

That's why I think that if we are ever to have a reliable store of value in form of a cryptocurrency, it's going to be Bitcoin.

It is however possible to switch to a completely new tech if you want to while not ruining the reliable store of value aspect, thanks to sidechains. But the magic of it is that Bitcoin keeps working as a store of value.

> In this interview, we asked James to apply his unique blend of academic research and personal anecdote to the biggest issues facing the modern worker.

“Worker” is not a noun I would apply to myself. I'd say “person”. Yes, I “do work”, but that doesn't mean I “am a worker”. Turning the verb into a noun implies that that activity is somehow fundamental to your identity. (Look at a few bios and it's clear that being a parent and a spouse is very important to a lot of people.)

If you “are a worker”, you'll have no problem doing your work — that's who you are and what you do. If you're just a person who “does work”, well then the ideas around identity in this article won't be applicable.

The article talks about considering deeply what you really want to achieve, what type of person you want to be. And it kind of assumes the answer to that question is a glib “productive” or an exasperated “the sort of person who doesn't spend 2 hours on Facebook every night”. It doesn't ask “why?”, and I think that's more fundamental. This article seems quite shallow.

> I don't understand how cash-settled futures are meant to provide price stability to a market.

Interestingly, thrash and volatility provide stability (and profit) to the entities that take a cut of every transaction with a transaction cost. Think about brokers of any sort (real estate, stocks, insurance); they do not care whether the price momentums are going up or down, only that they can extract the maximum "equity" out of each and every transaction. Since fear-based selling (or fear-based buying by folks with fear of "losing out" on the next big thing) tends to increase overall thrash and volatility (and thus overall volume of selling), it is kind of the perfect scheme for them.

News and momentum of any sort can be exploited by insiders with information.

'Win10 Native' in this context is making your app look like it's seamlessly part of the OS. The big change is the default font:

Segoe UI Font:

- Standard usage: 11pt Regular

- Sub Headings: 14pt Semi-bold

- Headings: 20pt Regular

WinForms in Visual Studio still defaults to MS Sans Serif 8pt - so you have to change that at the form level before you even start. Plus all the controls have NO padding around them, so you have to add padding manually or use panel controls to space stuff. It's a pain, but not insurmountable.

However, since many people were using excessive leverage, they got margin called and their positions were liquidated, leaving them royally screwed.

If the market goes down 50% to recover to -25%, that’s fine. But if the market goes down 50% when you are using leverage 4:1 you will be liquidated quite fast.

Lets see how codeless a system like this will be after new requirements begin to pop up. It's a bit like the promises rails made many years ago: "A new webshop application can be ready to use in like 15 min.". This statement is certainly true, if your shop app has only simple/default requirements that rails ships already. Usually, that is seldom the case, and you start to implement, integrate, test and document missing functionalities for most clients out there.

Over a few weeks the Dow fell ~50% from it's 1929 peak Sept. 3, 1929, 381.17. Longer term it as a ~90% drop by July 8, 1932 at 41 points.

So, it depends on the timeframe your talking about. If you bought in 1910 or 1990 then the 1929 or 2000 crashs seems less important than if you bought at the Peak.
@kabes there is a BIG difference between Luna and NoFlow. Luna is purely functional, immutable, lazy, has double representation you can switch any time. NoFlow is visual layer over imperative, mutable JS without ability to swithc reprs. These features dictate how easy it is to do something in the language. You cannot judge a language by trying another slightly similar, its like telling "I don't like Python. I've been programming with Cobol and it was awful. Python is also textual so it's a no-go for me". I strongly encourage you to try Luna and I would be more than happy to discuss your thoughts about it. In fact, there are many people who prefer working in Luna's visual environment when processing data, discovering what is inside data and building high-level components. If you're building something low-level it is sometimes easier to do it in text - you can then just write Luna code instead and use nodes for high level data processing.

Did I address your concerns?
It seems like there'd be a market for a "ISPaaS" style company. This company would consult on the setup, in the style of this guide, but would remote-admin all the gear, keep track of updates, security settings, make sure everything is documented, run 24/7 NOC monitoring, spot bottlenecks early and recommend upgrades, review site access contracts (or provide standard contracts), run billing and customer service etc. Basically, all the things that are easier and cheaper to run at scale. Their business model would be to take a cut of billing. The local owner would scout, deal with negotiating site access and provide the capital. The ISPaaS could provide detailed standard/lightly customised installation documents that could be handed to local contractors, or handled by the owner. They could also maintain a stash of marketing collateral and website templates and of course provide a forum for network owners to share ideas and best practices.
Infact, I would love an article on just that! "Don't start an ISP, start a bank"

So far, the best use case of the block chain tech is to remove the necessity for a variety of industry associations few people have ever heard of.

That's not world changing.

Digital nearly frictionless currency is another use case, but so far it seems there is a vicious cycle of value, scarcity, hoarding, boom, and bust in most of these that makes them unsuitable for use as a medium of exchange.

To go a bit further, I'm willing to wager that there is an inherent tradeoff in crypto between usefulness as a currency (stability vs fiat) and usefulness as an investment (appreciation). a stable store of value is also useful, just not as an investment.

The crypto currency that eventually works won't make anybody rich.
Web apps deliver scientifically non-reproducible results and have obvious privacy implications. As a consequence, people cannot use them to design a PCB, simulate a circuit, drive a production line and everything like that on professional scale.

Starting an ISP doesn't have to be that hard at all. If you want to start one in the country where I live you could do so with very little investment.

All the issues he talks about are due to the fact that there is no real competition in the US and no infrastructure to support competition.

The way it works over here is that there is a (commercially owned) open fiber network which can be used by anyone who wants to, and prices are the same for everyone. This network owns the last mile fiber, a PoP in each neighbourhood and a City-PoP linked to the neighbourhood PoP's.

You want to start a small ISP with very little investment ? Just lease everything from one of the bigger players. Bandwidth, IPTV service, etc. can all just be repackaged and resold under your own brand name and you can work on getting a customer base. You could run this from your basement without buying a single piece of hardware.

Want to spend a little more ? Use your own backbone network and uplink to the internet, but lease all the last-mile stuff from one of the bigger ISP. Go ahead. Want to do everything yourself ? You can rent space in the PoP's and install your own equipment, all you'd need from a 3rd party is to lease the last mile dark fiber.

You can pretty much choose anything from just reselling an existing package to doing everything yourself except owning the physical fiber and PoP your equipment is placed in. IIRC the situation on DSL is similar.

My current ISP started out as one of those that pretty much resold existing packages and currently they are on the other end of the spectrum and run their entire network by themselves including spinning off their own TV provider that now sells IPTV services to other small ISP's.

Net result of all this: at my address I can choose between 13 ISP's on fiber alone.

How do you get to a situation like this ? Very simple. Make sure the government only issues permits for the installation of a broadband network if the network to be built is going to be open to everyone.
It's probably that kind of politically-correct approach that creates skewed risk assessments in situations such as this one. Reality is what it is, not what we'd like it to be.

Do you also object to the terms "programmer" or "actor"? Would they be better called "person who programs" and "person that acts"?

Perhaps if we're down the pub and I responded to a question about who I am by saying "I'm a programmer" it would be odd. If we're in a meeting at work and I'm just trying to distinguish the number of people available to program software rather than design UI, saying "we have x programmers and y UI designers" seems pretty reasonable to me. I think that also applies to the context where "worker" was used in the article.
