As a counter point from someone not in the car scene - Jaguar represents high speed luxury to me. And if shown a Jaguar and a Tesla, I'd gravitate towards the Jaguar on looks alone. My (possibly incorrect) thinking being "how can I trust a car which can't even get the panel gaps even to provide a safe ride at high speeds?"

Postgresql and most mature database systems already have topN/offset/paging solutions.

Also, what's the point of aggregating JSONB data? If you need to calculate topN, why not normalize the data properly and index the data? Then top N will be blazing fast without needing an extension?

If the data set is extremely large then you can maintain an internal "Top N" table that gets calculated when data is added/removed. It all depends on the workload, but inserts/updates/deletions may be slightly slower, but reads of topN will be constant speed.
Are you logged out of (or never logged in to) any of the Google properties/platforms in these two modes? If yes, then Google's behavior here doesn't match user expectations and is tainted.

I basically agree with him; it's a chemical crutch for those whom have less creativity than they'd like. Granted I think most drugs should be legalized, usage is a personal choice, and sometimes they can be enjoyable, but I also think as an artist you shouldn't need them.

There have been numerous articles about "micro dosing" of LSD and how it's supposedly expanding people's creativity, but to me it just sounds like people want to use that as a justification for getting high at work.

This is just another form of digital restrictions management (aka DRM). I think you'll find that most of the engineers that are opposed in principle to the gov-tech surveillance complex are also opposed in principle to DRM.

It is at least possible to build an open-source distributed social networking application that gives you most of the features you described, and in particular, will make it impractical to vacuum up whole social network graphs.

"Most customers who love Uber don’t realize that the company subsidizes the cost of many rides"

Amazon used this technique for over a decade and is now one of the largest companies in the world. I think it's also telling that the author admits that users love Uber, but he doesn't, so things need to change. Guess what, people are happy with the service. If you're not, stop using it (and I guess publish negative articles in mass media publications).

As a massive Uber customer I'm really glad that nothing changed with the new leadership. The service does what I want and doesn't need massive tweaking. I'd also happily pay more for Uber when the subsidies end. The user experience and value for me is far too great to switch.
That's how every single profitable business operates. It's not a bad thing, it's a requirement. If a business pays you exactly the value you bring to them, then they do not earn anything from employing you, and have no profits to reinvestment into the business or reward investors for taking the risk of investing in the business. For this reason, not a single person who isn't self-employed ever gets paid "what they are worth". There is "fair market wage", but that is all.
> They implemented their own runtime environment that's mostly API compatible with Java (and getting further from that as the years go on).

That's not quite right - Google adopted Apache Harmony[1] (an open source project, and if you want to attribute an organisation responsible for Harmony's success - such as it was - it would be IBM). Apache Harmony would have been 100% API compatible with Java had Sun (and later Oracle) not refused to provide the Technology Compatibility Kit (TCK).

The Android runtimes (Dalvik, then ART) never had compatibility with Java bytecode, instead, Android build-tools use(d) Java bytecode as an intermediate pipeline step; the ultimate executable had 0% compatibility with the Java runtime.
You've gotta give change time to happen.
And it will be incredibly slow. The DOM is slow.

WebAssembly is not much faster than JS, harder to develop and debug, and requires even more extra tooling.

It’s a useful technology but it’s never going to be the primary choice for application development on the web - merely a tool in the toolbox.
Only if they also know his password.
It's a gamble to make the state look attractive for R&D shops/departments to either relocate or setup permanent testing sites. Automakers already use the desert conditions to test cars, so this is just an extension.
Except this is a prototype, not a final product. Were a self driving car being made for public use, there would not be a pre-existing safety system to bypass or modify; it would be built in, or at the very least, the car would be delivered for modification with that system already removed.

If you had a firewall in your network, for example, that had both a firewall system that you configured, and alongside it, a firewall configured by a third party with "best practices" in mind, that would be frustrating to configure and test because you'd never know for sure if it was a configuration you didn't setup correctly, or if it was this other firewall that you couldn't operate interfering with whatever it was you were doing.

When designing things like this, step 1 is you remove variables that could change the behavior of the device in question without you knowing why it did. I'm sure once completed, a self driving car system could well be made to interface with the safety systems otherwise present, or could be designed in such a way where they wouldn't conflict. When you're in the thick of building that system, however, an additional (and by your comment, not exactly predictable) system to contend with, that you have no access to, is going to be a pain in the rear.
The same process repeating itself across multiple industries would seem, to me, to send us hurtling toward a two-tiered society.
Visual Basic did exist in the 80s. I don't know where this idea came form the JS pioneered event driven programming. There have been GUIs with events since the 70s.

That's the thing. Fusion energy research hasn't been paying off, solar energy research has. With the momentum solar currently has, it makes sense that everybody is betting on solar.

Introducing the syzbot dashboard
The thing is Adobe users will tend to want to copy that UI, which is easier because they're familiar with it. But if you're familiar with nothing, or familiar with The GIMP then that's likely to be an impediment.

Squaring that particular circle isn't easy IMO.

There are people who still prefer the separate window system, I've always liked the unified one. Simple differences like this can become divisive and split your developer and user groups.

You should try Blender! Some applications are just complicated and need time to learn.
Very exciting to see Rust gaining support lately.

That said, one of the only remaining things keeping me from using it is production ready gRPC library.
Problem is, that greatly complicates the problem-solviing process for SD vehicles---you're now trying to build atop a model of the world provided by the vendor, with its own faults and quirks (and you probably need an agreement with the vendor to see their code / dissect their model, and now your release schedule depends on their release schedule, etc.). It also makes Uber dependent upon Volvo's buy-in on the project, and that arrangement is fraught in a world where we don't yet know if SD cars are going to damage the business of traditional auto manufacturers 50 years out---Uber wants to be in a place where if a vendor relationship sours, they can pack up and change chassis without a complete overhaul of the SD logic.

If your SD system is supposed to be solving 100% of the same problem anyway, it's best to gut the software you don't control and work with the hardware as directly as you can. The notion of building atop a lower-level abstraction makes for great academia but doesn't work with industrial realities.
My question was rhetorical :-). I agree with you that it is harder and noisier to perform fingerprinting, but I still wish for Mozilla to evangelize a more complete solution. The current one creates a somewhat sense of false security, in my opinion.
> It's a bit of a dilemma, isn't it.

I like free software. It doesn't have to be free as in price. Various small free software developers are supported by its users, e.g. Liberapay / Patreon / Tipeee. Various things were contributed by ZeMarmot. This project is supported by its users using above methods.

> We really need more interdisciplinary developers and free software enthusiasts.

It seems just having people contribute by paying a small amount per week/month is also pretty good method. This allows the existing developers to dedicate more of their time to the project.
Just curious, could Apple actually ditch Darwin and use linux as their kernel? I'm not sure how the licensing works in regard to their proprietary stuff that may have to touch the kernel. It seems that if they aren't going to invest the money on MacOS dev teams, this may help them out by not having to do as much kernel dev stuff.
They thought they could get away with it.
It seems that you confuse several loosely associated concepts as if they were the same thing called "discrimination". I think that it happens because you look at this, trying to determine, who's privileged and who's not, all in terms of value judgements - and that's absolutely not what I'm talking about. It's not about defending or attacking other people and their interests. It really doesn't matter if they're "discriminated against" or not - it's a stupid and loaded word that is used by everybody in a different way.

I only ask about things that matter personally to you. It's about your rational self-interest, and nobody else's. Do you want to be in an echo chamber where everybody has the same political opinion? Does it really benefit you? Does it benefit your political agenda to push out and silence your political opponents?

Android might have been trying to compete with Apple, but for a decade before the iPhone, Windows CE was the de-facto choice on mobile devices where you actually wanted to accomplish something. I'd be more tempted to say that _both_ of them were trying to compete with Microsoft in the mobile space.

Yes, there was Palm and PSION before that, both of which I used heavily, but Windows CE had a massive marketplace for applications and seemed to coincide with WiFi and the web really taking off. This feels very odd to say, but mobile Internet Explorer was impressive - and even supported flash!

"Capitalism in America might not have even been possible without the extensive use of slave labor and the genocide of an entire continent of people"

Rolling my eyes pretty hard at that one. Can you elaborate? Do you really think the whole system would have failed without slave labor? How was the capitalist economy different back then, such that free labor was absolutely necessary for it to be sustained?

"There is such an ahistorical bend to anti-socialist rhetoric"

I would say the same about pro-socialist rhetoric. The whole "let's ignore what happened the last dozen times a country tried full socialism, and try it again" rhetoric is pretty selectively ignorant of history, wouldn't you say?
Thing is, you don't just use tools and props. From the perspective of your mind, they become a part of you, of your concept of self, even if only temporarily.

And the tools don't just exist without, your mind is built from tools within as well. There is a part of your mind that rationalizes things, for instance. Rationalization is a tool that other parts of your mind can draw on. I think this is quite clear if you've spent a good amount of time having to argue with your own thoughts, maybe that isn't a very common experience though.

Similarly there's a part of your mind that simulates experiences. It can be used by the part of your mind that makes predictions, and it can be used by the part of your mind that recollects.

Some people's minds use visual or auditory processing components to aid in arithmetic. It's sort of the human equivalent of doing computation on the GPU.

The biggest myth we tell ourselves, on which so much flawed philosophy is based in my opinion, is that we're a single thing. We like to think that what we are is something that is a whole unto itself, that can be isolated, and not, like everything else in the universe, a collection of interactions viewed from a particular perspective.

Their website[1] gives more detailed information on how it works than I can here. Effectively, yes, but the system explicitly supports having different mints that operate over different currencies.

And while what consumers (people sending money) spend their money on is completely anonymous and cannot be correlated, merchants (people receiving money) can still have their income audited and taxed accordingly.

The system was designed by a university research team in Europe and became a GNU project a year or two ago.

This is an entirely new PostgreSQL extension. Within the post we talk about group by, order by work fine for smaller datasets but for larger datasets the amount of time to compute and roll things up is not feasible. TopN or TopK is a very common algorithm for approximate counts of top items when you have large enough datasets.
"When trained to paint celebrity faces, the agent is capable of capturing the main traits of the face, such as shape, tone and hair style, much like a street artist would when painting a portrait with a limited number of brush strokes:"

That's interesting. Do we know how artists draw? Is it as "algorithmic" as the article lays it out? I don't draw so I always assumed it was more intuitive and personal rather than a "step by step" process.
I think he learnt how to speak from a few decades of teaching, and in his teaching technique (as opposed to speech giving, debating). I've noticed most teachers and lecturers I've met as being good confident speakers. Not all academics, but the proper educators, almost all yes.

Yes, I (personally) oppose patent protection and copyright on software, and barring that, severe time limits, like say, 5 years. You really think an API should be protected from forking or reimplementation for A CENTURY? It's absurd, Oracle agrees with me (see link at bottom)

The entire PC industry was launched because clean room re-implementation of the API of the BIOS broke IBM's stranglehold. Is the world better without WINE? Without game or CPU emulators?

I am philosophically opposed to the idea of API copyrights especially. This is a corporate battle whose collateral damage is going to harm the entire industry.

It's funny how everyone loves forking, until tribalism kicks in, and then people start granting mulligans on philosophy just because of tribal positions on whichever company they don't like. Remember this? http://www.gordoni.com/software-patents/statements/oracle.st...

"Oracle Corporation opposes the patentability of software"
"A balance of fifty years protection for direct copying of code would continue to be provided by copyright law."

Funny how perspective changes if you perform a buyout of a struggling company's assets to use it to shakedown the market.
In the short term, the autonomous vehicles are 5% of a large market fleets (like NYC). Uber plays around with how to deploy their literal robots (not unreliable contractors) in surge situations. Also they try new flavors of ride hailing: there's cross-country ubers, and wait-for-you-at-pickup-without-getting-mad ubers. These pilot programs give them a chance to learn how to maintenance the fleet with economies of scale.

As the tech becomes cheaper and more available, some people do end up owning an autonomous car. They'll own them mainly for keeping a clean vehicle with their supplies packed into them. But in urban areas, most people chose to rent, which is a pretty tricky business: it's an unsupervised $50k asset you're renting at $5-$10 a pop without a deposit. Very few people are going to want to touch that business, especially when first mover already has a rating on everyone - meaning your first "customers" are the ones uber identified as troublemakers and already banned.

Another (old) method that is known to work is injecting low levels (say TRT levels or slightly less) which shutdowns endogenous testosterone production which also shuts down sperm production. This gets you @ next to zero sperm levels but also keeps testosterone in your body.

This is by far the cheapest and effective method i have seen. The only reason I can see it is not in use is due to the FUD around recreational use of steriods.
Arguably full-time employment is:

* more like serfdom than having several bosses you can replace as needed

* historically more of an anomaly than juggling a few side hustles like fishing and delivering mail and giving boat tours

Besides, it seems like employment law is more to blame for the lack of full time jobs. At least more to blame than companies that hire part time workers. If, economically, we want more full time employment, it needs to be more attractive to workers and employers than lots of part time employment.
It's an interesting article, but folks buying shares in what they want to happen are the greater fools in a prediction market (this applies to people on both sides of political questions). What you want to do is determine how much an event will cost you or benefit you if it happens, and bet for or against it in order to hedge your bets.

E.g. if you think law X will cost you $1,000 if it passes, you don't bet $1,000 against it passing; you bet enough to make $1,000 if it passes. If it doesn't pass, you are only out the cost of your bet (< $1,000), and if it does pass, then you break even.
