Well, writing a createView method itself isn't an issue unless you do it as a generic behaviour and for everything like in this Activity.
In the case of Spectre/Meltdown, it's not simply a case of finding the vulnerabilities and patching them; the workarounds result in significant performance costs, and essentially mean the processors affected are now less capable than when they were sold. This incurs damages for the people whose computing is now slower / not fit for purpose, or who now have to buy more processors to meet their requirements. Openness is great, but I don't believe we should sell our guarantees for it, and put ourselves in a buyer beware situation.
The internet will almost certainly spawn a social movement to destroy the class system in the US.

Uh, have you been paying attention to campus protesters?

The US has gotten richer and richer, if it functioned properly everyone could have enough without resorting to any radical policies.

It's not quite that simple, due to human psychology. Even if people are wealthy on a global and historical scale, relative poverty will still cause problems.

>It is amazing to think that even the rate of mutations is probably an evolutionary response to the environment.

Now consider that mutation is not a single "rate" across the genome. Instead, mutations are targeted to specific regions! Some genome sequences have mutation rates of 10^-3, compared to 10^-9 for most of the genome.

So, when considering mutation in relation to evolution, examine the genes with high mutation rates, especially in their regulatory regions. If fast-changing environmental FACTORS can influence evolution, then hypermutability may be advantageous in genes that interact with these factors. By targeting mutations to specific genomic regions, organisms can "bet-hedge" with specific traits, increasing the probability of survival during extreme environmental shifts.

Think about growth rates in relation to boom-bust food cycles, or neural development in relation to dynamic social conditions. What evolutionary strategies would be optimal for rapidly changing environmental factors? Increasing mutation rates genome-wide is not the answer, as you point out it leads to problems with viability. Thankfully, mutation rates are local and traits are bet-hedged against variable environments.

What a wonderfully variable species we are! We adapted to different environments worldwide! And it only took tens-of-thousands of years?! Amazing :)

I have thought about a site like this before (as I'm sure many have)! One thing I thought about is how do you keep noise out of the comments while maintaining engagement with the community?

Let's say this takes off and is the answer to the publisher fees and everyone posts their papers here an peer reviews them -- I assume that's the dream end goal.

As the user base grows and engagement with posts grow, comment sections can become overwhelmed by well meaning illinformed people or even bots with an agenda.

Have you thought about registering people in the space and having a separate section for them to discuss? In your mind, is the site primarily geared towards researchers publishing and their peers, regular people looking for more access to papers and the process, or a mix of both.

Very nice start and cool to see someone actually moving on this problem!
> Talking specifically about money (how much high-ticket items specifically cost, how much anyone specifically makes) is gauche.

This is not just a rich people rule.

I grew up solidly middle class, and you could hear a pin drop if you asked someone in the room how much they were paid or how much that engagement ring cost.
This is the outsider play. It basically works by default if you’re a foreigner (aka an American in England) or vice versa. Americans can get away with it via improv or social ability sure... less so if there’s a language barrier.

IMO, the project name is a disaster.

If successful it will muddy the water on searches for RxJS (and other Rx) observables.

Please do like the Amber.js team did when they learned of a name comflict and rebrand as Ember.js. That would be awesome.
> ... look at how money changes people ...

I think the point of the article is that it's not that money changes people, but rather that change begets money; they are interrelated at least.

Staying informed, daily, on trends and reading the latest material helps the individual to adjust to meet the changing industry.

Study Computer Science, pick up a few languages, familiarize yourself with various technologies, read white papers and journals, and connect with experienced professionals in the industry. You needn't be fully prepared for all of the requirements, you need only be cognizant of the evolution of the industry and quick to study advancements in your field (as with just about any industry).

The CPU is barely breaking a sweat. I wouldn't mind a thread ripper so all VMS can get a quad core. But right now it's plenty powerful.

The input was the biggest pain in the butt. Especially on windows... I've seen the evdev passthrough and hot swap but didn't have the best luck with it. While hacky. Assigning a USB controller to each VM has worked best.

I agree it's a long setup, and still requires some care. It's not straight up and running like a linux/windows desktop. I've had windows just mark the usb controller as inactive, and I then need to reboot the entire host. Something I'm still digging into. But there is much better documentation out there. Things like project looking glass are also impressive.

Disney as a Service (Pt. II) and the Future of the 'House of Mouse'
My opinion isn't generalizable because no two people have the same experience on Facebook and no two people use the product in the same way. For example, I only use Messenger. Some people only use the photo sharing features. Some people only use Marketplace to buy/sell things. Some people use newsfeed as their primary news source. Some people use all of these things in tandem.

So when people come into this discussion with strong opinions and try to impose their experience on everyone else, that's not useful nor reflective of reality.

What you're arguing is something very primal and not isolated to Facebook. You can make that argument about literally anything in this world and that's why I'm saying it's not useful. Cars have known effects on whole populations. Tax regulation has known effects on the behaviors of whole populations. I mean potato chips and similar snacks are engineered from the ground up to be addictive and have known effects on mass populations. Where do you draw the line for your argument? I chose to draw it at the bounds of my own personal experience with the product we're discussing.

It's OK to not like Facebook. It's also OK to like Facebook. But for me to impose my opinion on you would be misinformed because I don't know how you use it. It's an incredibly complex product with incredibly complex effects.
But there are exceptions to the general solicitation prohibitions.

Maybe they find those exceptions to onerous and burdensome, but in my mind that just means there is a giant opportunity - 90% of the US market is being excluded.
Apple would be held liable if someone uses Telegram to coordinate a terrorist attack or if it's used for human trafficking or whatever highly illegal activity it could be used for. Potentially both in the court of law and the court of public opinion; the latter Apple has no control over.

It's just not worth it financially for Apple to assume that liability.
I could see that. Luckily, craft brewing is getting so big that some places also have interesting beer selections presented almost like a wine list. Probably not French places though, or higher end steakhouses. :/
There are a lot of rapid prototyping tools for computer vision usually done via some dataflow interface:

http://imageplay.io/

https://www.adaptive-vision.com/en/software/

http://www.adrianboeing.com/improvCV/

https://github.com/utwente/parlevision

I don't use any of these but I see a few of these reinvented every year with not much differentiating them from each other. I wonder why none of them caught on yet?

I think they are useful compared to the tedious workflow I am stuck on (prototype with python notebook to dump visualizations and play with hyperparameters, then port to C++ later). But the fear of getting trapped into some unsupported edge case and having to deal with a messier port usually stops me from changing.
I also found this to be a puzzling analogy. Battery is improving at a blistering pace, but then again so is dental tech, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'd love it if the storage and Ethernet weren't hanging off of the same USB. Or on USB at all. The USB is a perennial bottleneck on the RPi.

There are a lot of boards that implement it correctly in hardware, but then make a hash out of the driver support with binary blob drivers that are fixed to a particular kernel version and crash from time to time.

It's probably not technically feasible currently, but I'd love to see a board where all of the hardware is open (even the 3D acceleration!) and already mainlined into the kernel so you could just install whatever distro you want on it and available at a price point under $50. I'm really tired of "you need to dump this proprietary binary blob into the graphics chip before the rest of the board can even start to boot." Why is it taking so long to come up with a universal boot solution, something that could be integrated into GRUB so you don't need to program magic offsets into the bootloader to make it work? PC hardware manufacturers more or less solved this problem 30 years ago, and I'm not taking "but the hardware is so specialized that you can't do it" as an answer anymore. The SBC world is absolutely crammed with stovepipes for no good reason.
500M people times $7860/yr is $3.93 trillion (the max possible coverage). But if only $314M is authorized, the average person will receive only 314M/500M, or about 63 cents.
Surely if you had a good idea for a company, the currently zero interest stuff would suddenly become a bit more interesting. Then it would seem that this is more about the lack of any good ideas than the actual starting of a company.
