I’m a Vim user but this exactly nails the point. I mostly use the terminal for everything I can because I know the shortcuts and they’re consistent across operating systems.

Last time I checked, it was possible to boot macOS in VirtualBox.

What macOS-exclusive apps would be worth running in your opinion? The only one that I use is Photos, and maybe Pixelmator. So it'd probably be quicker just to write completely new software, which is what seems to happen.

Also, Apple has a nasty habit of breaking things between macOS versions and messing with APIs. Maintaining a compat layer would be horrible.
> How is that not irrational? Come on.

It's not irrational in the most basic economic sense - supply and demand determines the price.

Why is gold so expensive? Around 90% of it is being hoarded, not used industrially. People think it's valuable, the supply is limited, therefore it is valuable. Same with cryptocurrencies. Actually, particular cryptocurrency supply is truly limited, unlike gold, which is extremely abundant in our universe.

The only weird thing about the tulipmania is that tulips can be (relatively) easily grown.

Was the Signal protocol reviewed in 2013 when Telegram was launched? It seems it was developed in 2013.

I'd say the biggest problem with Telegram is the fact that E2EE isn't enabled by default and no one (that I've chatted with) uses it.
This seems to be a continuation of the "click-bait headline chasing has consequences for publishers" that is slowly playing out.

Advertising revenue that is not aimed at a specific purchase (brand advertising) must be 50% of spend at least - and that's under threat, not just by Daily Mail but Google and facebook cannot control the content they publish alongside
Is it identical though? My understanding was that Facebook license preserves Facebook's right to sure you for patent infringement but prohibits you from suing Facebook (and more importantly anyone Facebook designates as its minion) for patent infringement. So your patent portfolio is worthless if you want to use Facebook software because I'd imagine anyone can appeal Facebook for patronage?

I thought it was a good thing personally because patent lawsuits are a waste of everyone's time but apparently enough people disagree.

Not that I know anything. Sorry for rambling. Point is I want to ask the question: are they (practically) identical?
You can install Nominatim om your own hardware and then make as many queries as you want. There are also companies offering hosted Nominatim (e.g. geofabrik), which will come with a limit and a way to see how much you have used.

Thanks, that was a good read. And raises a lot of questions in my mind.

They are going to use PoS mechanism. So, I had to look at the token distribution scheme. 4% by the team and 52% by "Ton Reserve", which I think is not explained. With only 44% held in hands of non-Ton people, is this even decentralized?
Nope, they were trading tulip bulbs. You have to store those bulbs in good condition so the flower could bloom. Bulbs are not something you can show off with. Once it blooms it is over you cannot show it off like art. So paying price of a house for something you cannot really show off, will spoil quickly, and you could probably sell to next fool for higher price is pure greedy speculation.
I might be wrong about this, but as far as I can see the larger cube slides parallel to an edge and not a face. On top of that, I think the cube passing through would still be sliding parallel to an edge, even if it were to slide along a space diagonal, so those two wouldn't be mutually exclusive. Unless I have failed to visualize it right ok my head.
He already commented recently under a repost of his former article. I've pointed out the good things about OSM.

He proceeded with answering to my comment but completely ignoring the content of it while advertising this piece to come. I'm still unable to find those good things in this article which supports my theory of overdrawn and almost(?) total negativity and ignorance of the good aspects of OSM.
The explosion in mobile payments in China vs America/Europe is amazing, but it grates when it’s used as an example of tech advantage (ie. as if Chinese companies were being more innovative or groundbreaking).

There’s a lot of cool things that happen or become possible when you have a mobile payments environment like China, but it’s possible because of fairly special (and not necessarily desirable) market conditions and lack of regulation in China.

You need a bank account to use Wechat payments, it’s just much more convenient (and small shops don’t typically accept bank card payments). Credit cards are not very popular yet due to cultural norms around spending on credit, though heavily promoted by the banks.
Trying to argue that the Chinese finance sector is undeveloped sounds a little uniformed, to tell you the truth...

Do you know anyway to get the same behaviour on Linux and Gnome at all?
My 'plan' is very simple. It's just a list of links for each city. No community features or anything. Just the links to apartments that I myself found. Features could be added later. But the initial idea is to just put a list of links online. Probably with a line 'If you know about an apartment with a great view you want to share, please send it to ...@...'.

If you like, let me know which apartment it is in Manila and I will happily add it :)
This is such an ignorant comment...everyone has bank accounts in China, probably more so then in the US. You cant access the mobile payments platform in there without a bank account.
If it's proof of stake and the majority is held in a single hand and the proof of stake required isn't a supermajority... then it's basically a database under the control of one entity.

Of course, there is always a trade-off. For example, it is not worth spending 100$ for a 1% reduction in the risk of getting a disease that costs 1000$ to cure. If you really believe that prevention always pays off, why aren't you wearing a helmet right now?
Would be awesome! I do fear that he political hurdles humanity would have to overcome for that route to be safe are larger than the technical ones, though.
Once it’s done blooming, you can extract the bulb and store it until next year, it works quite well. In dry enough soil, you might even get away with leaving it in the ground.

As cruel as it might seem, you need to prioritize yourself when looking for a relationship and if 'exercises' is a useful heuristic to you when choosing who to date so be it - the other person's concerns, excuses and reasons are not your problem.
Additionally, it was not just any tulip that was traded so high, it was a specific strain that was considered especially beautiful and that people did not succeed in systematically reproduce. There was a good reason for that: the beauty was not caused by genes, but by a virus [1][2].

Knowing who you are and what pages you visited in last years it is a lot of data that they mine and tag you and sell it to the advertisers. I think they can do a good profile of you by knowing all the obscure links you visit and how much time you spend there.

The users should have a choice, "Do you want this site to share your data with Fb,Google ?" If you do not accept you can't use it, but it is your choice not to use the website, the users will get informed because now I am sure most of the people don't even know about the tracking.
Nice.

Would have been more helpful if specifics were mentioned. E.g what Remittance service was used to pay with your US bank account? What network of telco? What did you use to build your app. PWA?

That way people that are well versed with Uganda can give feedback.

CLI tools are all about codeveloping the build environment with the project. Instead of you trying to remember the weird flags, write a one-line shell script and save it with the project.

For example, my current side project is built on C+SQLite. The larger chunks of SQL are plain text files so that I don't have to worry about C string escaping. Instead of trying to read them at runtime, I have the build process wrap them in a .o file that gets linked into the executable.

This is relatively simple because it's just a slight variant on what's already happening (.sql files are "compiled" with objcopy instead of gcc), but I've utterly failed whenever I've tried to do something similar in an IDE-based project.

On the other hand, the standard build process is generic enough these days that most projects don't need to do this sort of customization. For those projects, being locked into the IDE's process isn't really a drawback and you may as well take advantage of the benefits it provides.

> the end product of the business will be cheap (as it’s priced in these tokens)

Essentially every one of these services creates a distributed market and almost none of them make the mistake of somehow deciding the price of the service in tokens in a way that wouldn't cause the market to adjust to reflect the value of the token (and ironically the only one I can come up with that makes this mistake was the WhopperCoin ;P). If the value of the token doubles then the cost in tokens of using the service should quickly drop by half. This is an annoying volatility but the service absolutely doesn't become more expensive or cheaper based on the value of the token. This isn't "one token buys one hamburger", this is simply "you can buy and sell hamburgers with tokens".

The first chart says that the number of AI professionals in China is less than 10% that of the US, while the number of third-party cited AI papers is around 80-90%. This implies that either 1) each Chinese AI professional publishes many, many times more papers than a US-based one, which seems unlikely, or 2) there are many more non-publishing AI professionals in the US, e.g. working as a non-research engineer, than in China, where presumably many or most with the label 'AI professional' publish papers.

The article names it, but then does not dive deeper into it: the hydrogen chain has huge energy losses. First, electrolysis unfortunately has not a high efficiency - I have read numbers around 70%, but then the compression of the produced hydrogen takes a lot of energy, as compressing gases heats them up. Then the hydrogen has to be transported and stored, requiring further energy. Finally, you have to use the hydrogen, there the efficiency varies between 60% (fuel cell) or as proposed in the article with a combustion engine as low as 30%.

At the same time, there are less and less applications which cannot be powered by electricity directly, having only a fraction of losses compared to the equivalent hydrogen chain. So as long we do not have more than 100% reneweable electricity generation, we should be very concerned about the efficiency of our energy usage.
Hydrogen can't be a fuel until we find a load of it underground. Until then we spend more energy making it, so it's only as good as a battery.
If the behaviors (bus timing logic and such) that are being used to spill information across process and privilege boundaries actually were fully documented, wouldn’t the liability fall on the people who used these chips to write multi-user environments without knowing or understanding the implications of the technical details?
Some keybindings are ingrained. I use Quail and Electric quotes all the time in Emacs (modes which modify the letters you input), and I write lots of prose in Emacs, so using Ctrl-q <char> to "quote" a character to input it literally is something I frequently do. It happens that sometimes I do that out of muscle memory in Firefox, and Ctrl-q quits in Firefox. Or you press Ctrl-n for next line a couple times but you get some new blank windows instead. I confuse Ctrl-f and Ctrl-s all the time. Many other bindings are easily confusable.

I'd actually like Firefox to be customisable instead of a hack like this. I'll probably just switch to the Next browser [1] in the future though.

And due to the inefficiency of the components, it is a very bad battery. That is the main problem, as attractive it would be to produce hydrogen via solar.

Exactly. I'm not really sure why my dream has always been a retrofitted big rig rather than an actual purpose-built mobile home, but there it is.

Either way, the self-driving aspect is the most important bit.

I also thought about doing this with a blimp, but the logistics are a lot harder with that route.

Can you clarify which API I should be using for data access? My last project involved determining locations parks and rivers, and I ran in to a lot of the same problems. But, if I just want GPS coordinates, I'm not sure where else to go. Mapbox is find for rendering but less so if I want the raw data and use it myself (for a phone application for example).
And what does that tell us?

It tells us that Waymo is nowhere close to "Level 5" or even to the levels Google and the latest cherry-picked "tests" (where they don't count "disengagements" as a problem) would like you to believe it is at.

Level 5 is supposed to be virtually perfect self-driving in any environment or on any type of road, for which we haven't even properly tested in simulations yet, let alone in the real-world.

I said it before, because of marketing and an incentive to be misleading about their capabilities, "Level 5" will be the "4G" wireless of 2011 (and by that I mean "3G+", in case it wasn't clear). That's actually held true since "Level 2" self-driving. For every level carmakers have been patting themselves on the back for reaching, they're at least one level behind in the real-world. They quickly discover this, too, after trying out their "Level X" cars in the real-world for a while, but they "forget" to tell us about it, after making the big announcement previously, or it doesn't get as much attention in the media.

So, I guess I'll wait for Level 6 or Level 7, before I get into one of these. Level 7 will probably be Level 6 cars that actually can't get hacked, unlike all the cars progressing through the previous levels. Carmakers won't even care that much about security and will only prioritize getting to adequate self-driving capabilities first and will "deal with security later", because we all know it's so much easier to fix security issues and redesign architectures later.
Wrong, check below, won't type it twice.
TL;DR

If pancreases produces less insulin, eat less calories.
Not that much. It is an illusion that Shenzhen has an overwhelming advantage from the cluster effect. China still imports even passive components from Taiwan, and labour costs for professionally trained assembly line staff are higher than in some parts of Europe.

It is 100% percent due to intellectual capital there. Multiple cities in China has more developers than a whole state of California.

Just now the lion share of them toil in China's analogues of pets.com, or outsourcing sweatshops for Western online giants like Amazon.

It will be take just a flick to turn the tide in reverse when Chinese domestic companies get to the point when making software for themselves will make more money than selling as a service outside. Then, the chain reaction will start.

This appears to go against Rodney Brooks' (former director of MIT's CSAIL, member of NAE, and a robotics expert) predictions, which was just published last month: https://rodneybrooks.com/my-dated-predictions/

"NET (No Earlier Than) 2022"

"First driverless "taxi" service in a major US city, with dedicated pick up and drop off points, and restrictions on weather and time of day."

"The pick up and drop off points will not be parking spots, but like bus stops they will be marked and restricted for that purpose only"

A possible resolution is in the case that he meant somewhere more ‘major’ than Phoenix, AZ (1.6 million population; 5th largest city in the US), but that is a bit hand-waving.

Any insight or comment for this?
The software can be duplicated but the network of devs, users, validators, etc is harder to duplicate.

The intrinsic value of ETH is to use it to pay for transactions on the Ethereum platform. These transactions are used to form dApps that can be run without censorship. I would have said the value of that is TBD but now I'd stay that some minimum value has been determined (ICOs, DAOs, the Dai system, games, etc.)
