Supertasks have a connection to some interesting areas in computer science:

But you can also sort of repeat your question with regard to those areas of computer science, because they don't appear to relate to computing devices that we could physically build, even though they might clarify things like how different groups of unsolvable problems relate to one another.

And also, what if they are lucky enough to get close to success? How should they handle it? When should they trust their own instincts, versus when should they defer to experience? I've written at length regarding what happened when a 22 year old was given $1.3 million dollars and the chance the run with a great startup idea. A very cutting edge idea that was full of potential. It should have become something great. But the mistakes made were of a type that might be expected from a lack of experience.

That is the flip side of it. Endlessly shouting "Express yourself and amazing things will happen!" is a bit of a trap. It doesn't prepare kids to handle the lucky breaks that some of them will undoubtedly get.

In the specific context of fighter jets, its worth pointing out a few trends.

a) As many critical controls as possible are already stuck on the stick and throttle. For an example (ok, technically from a game/simulator, but close enough), http://falcon4.wikidot.com/avionics:hotas .

b) The expectation is that fighter combat will continue to evolve to become ever more information dominant. That means having the ability to gather, process, and act on as many information as possible, and faster than the opponent. This means information rich displays that given today's limitations on HUDs and HMDs, still means the pilot will have to look down anyways to fully exploit their information.

So instead of comparing touchscreen controls to say... touchscreen controls for your radio in your car, consider if your job was to drive, while also like... playing an air traffic controller game or something.
So there is no patch that fixes it?

I looked up HOCs not long after writing the comment, and I agree -- this is much better than the mixin approach that used to be the way (though if I remember correctly, mixins were considered 'temporary' at the time).

This isn't a benefit of react though -- this is just react incorporating a well known functional paradigm, which I don't mind.

IMO If react was simple, this would have been the way to do it from the start -- no mixins detour. This answer would have fallen out (as it now has), if they simply didn't offer a way to inherit functionality, in that manner. If a component is truly just a function from state to output, the obvious way to combine them IS higher order functions.
If you like this, you might also enjoy William Poundstone's book Labyrinths of Reason. I found Labyrinths of Reason a ton of fun, and it introduced me to a lot of interesting ideas.

Do you realize that alternate airports for many Canadian airports are US airports and that you could be forced to go through immigration if your plane ends up at an alternate?
okay... so i work in two way satellite and will expand a bit on what this looks like in real world practice, with currently available technology and satellite architectures.

geostationary orbit dedicated (1:1) transponder capacity, in real world use with large earth stations and SCPC modems, has latency of around 485ms to 490ms for a return trip ping. That's a figure from remote earth station (example: Nauru) to the other end of a link (example: Singapore).

119 x 4 = 476 ms

add anywhere from 10ms to 20ms for a combination of modem Tx encoding, framing, adding FEC, and then the reverse on the Rx side.

example:

nauru router with a 1000BaseLX link into a satellite modem generates one ICMP ping

nauru --> satellite -->

satellite --> singapore

singapore modem does decode, passes IP traffic to a router or something else that can answer ICMP

singapore --> satellite

satellite --> nauru

nauru satellite modem decodes, passes traffic to router

That's the essential narrative Napoli is challenging, and in addition to the fact that she's a reputable journalist reporting the story, there's the fact that the counternarrative doesn't make sense, since 0.5% was what the McDonald brothers were getting prior to the buyout; if they were expected to continue getting that money after the buyout, what, exactly, would Ray Kroc have been buying?
The Kodi project is not legally accountable for civil infringement committed with their devices for the same reason that gun manufacturers aren’t. Because both have legal purposes. The fact that people do illegal things with them is not the manufacturer’s fault in this case.

In the US, tort law defines manufacturer liability and there is no negligence or design defect.

There are manufacturers who solely make piracy boxes running Kodi who are frequently charged (https://www.engadget.com/2017/09/25/kodi-box-guilty-reversal...). And if gun manufacturers marketed a device with a primary purpose of murder they would likely be charged.

In business law class, we had a case about a switchblade manufacturer adding features only useful for stabbing people. But I can’t find a real reference on Google.

Yeah it's not a big recall in the scheme of things but it is a major percentage of the total production of the Model S (wikipedia says they were up to 212,000 at end of 2017).

GM's big ignition switch recall was 800,000, Firestone recalled the tires for millions vehicles back around 2000.
I have used a steel brush from a hardware store that has inch-long bristles. These bristles are a lot longer and thicker than the little ones in the video of the article. A lot harder to miss visually and if you had one in your food I think you'd notice it on the first (painful) bite. However I think the 5 minutes of heating after cooking is finished would be a better option.
Many taxi drivers are of the opinion that they'd rather quit then work for Uber's rates.
I think a lot of people don’t let their grill get hot enough. I know I have problems with cleaning my smoker racks (and my wife won’t let me run them through the dish washer) so I have to throw them on my charcoal grill when I’m heating it up.

A benefit, rather than an incentive, would be that instead of being advertised things they don't want and when they don't want them (the vast majority of the time), they could be advertised a deal on peanut butter almost exactly when they need peanut butter, or a bike tuneup a day or two before their next bike ride, and so on.
It's even more insane if you knew anything about getting to San Diego airport using public transit.
I think you're correct. It does place that fiscal incentive. But can you honestly look at the last 20/30 years and say that private companies haven't tried to make the government as ineffective as possible?

Lobbying is huge. There are innumerable ways for incumbents to secure rents. Healthcare companies keep cashing blank checks from the government. Amazon also basically eliminated a huge chunk of tax revenue by turning retail into a profitless endeavor.

The solution is to make our government respected, effective, and intelligent. That's hard.

Space X is actually aiming for a low earth orbit constellation. I've heard others mention numbers of around 50ms which is quite acceptable in my mind.

I tend to think that's overkill :) But one can toggle between a gamer setup and a mainly more more cpu heavy app focus, it's in the advanced menu under the recommend button. Switching between gpu and cpu heavy builds catches a lot of those different usecases.

> given the availability of crowdsourced benchmarks (http://www.userbenchmark.com).

One problem with those is that they are often based on artificial benchmarks, which is most of the time not what you want. I use benchmark results from professional publications instead. The problem then moves to ordering, but that's manageable with enough data.
Higher order components have been a common pattern since early 2015. https://medium.com/@dan_abramov/mixins-are-dead-long-live-hi... (And like others said, they are relatively simple and draw heavily on prior principles in functional programming.)

There's probably a little CVS/Aetna in their decision making, but I'm pretty confident this is much more an "Oh crap!" response to the Amazon / Berkshire Hathaway / Chase Healthcare venture announced earlier this year.

Walmart sees Amazon already looking at its core markets: cheap Chinese crap, groceries, pharmacy. Its choices are to compete or to watch Amazon do to it what it did to downtown shops over the last 40 years.
Interesting. I'm surprised not have seen more user contributed libraries for server side Swift that work around this, and the (mentioned below) lack of libraries, like ready made web server implementations. I viewed the apple fan club as more ambitious in the past. To be fair, I have zero experience in the Mac/iPhone area.

I had assumed zealous iPhone devs would want a homogenous environment where the client and server used the same rough codebase and libraries. Kind of like the node.js crowd, which I'm equally inexperienced with.

> I’m sure lots of North Americans wouldn’t want Chinese satellites overhead for concern of privacy.

Umm, there are of course Chinese satellites overhead and they have excellent imagery of all of our military bases. As we do for theirs (and every other country!). Orbits aren't very friendly to avoiding airspace.
What’s the positive analogue to barking?
Swift outside of Xcode hasn't been the best of experiences even on macOS. Swift Package Manager works well from the CLI(although the Rust compiler's error messages have spoiled me), but using other editors usually requires some sort of sacrifice. A lot of them have inconsistent code completion if any at all, or no debugging or inline error messages. It's not bad for working with small Swift scripts, but working on a bigger project without those tools isn't great.
Facebook-Linked Marketer Acxiom Plunges After Policy Shift
shooting down shit and generating orbital debris in polar orbits is incredibly dangerous to the commons that is low earth orbit, generally.

accidental example:

https://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=iri...

no nation-state wants to start the game of shooting down another's satellite, either military or commercial, because everything up there is so vulnerable. it would open china to retaliatory strikes taking down their own polar orbit LEO, inclined LEO (35-45 degree) molnia, MEO and GEO satellites. satellites are fragile things and can be killed with one 200g chunk of tungsten at a closing velocity of 18,000 km/h.

National sovereignty over airspace does not extend into orbit. Otherwise nearly every earth science satellite in polar orbit would be in violation of international law.
Next, they will detain/arrest Kodi developers at airports.
Strongly disagree. It’s a reflection of our hypercompetitive society. It’s not shallow; it’s realistic. Look around: everyone is embracing consumerist capitalism (China, India, etc.) The societies that appear to have some reservations about it (Western Europe) are irrelevant—they won’t exist in their modern form a century from now.
That's a good point - I guess playing Falcon 4.0 is a good parallel (which makes sense, given how detailed a sim it is!), since I don't find myself needing to point-n-click over to too many onscreen cockpit controls while playing. I think what struck me about the (probably fake) image was that the pilot was entering something on what looks like a virtual DED, which seems like a tedious task even while not flying a plane. I wonder if any of the lower panels have kept a tactile DED or numpad.
Honda recently moved to a capless gas filler that, in certain climates particularly, will collect water.

Just replied in the other spot -- I understand the similarities now, but I think this points to react still not being as simple as it could be -- if components were really as simple as being functions from state to UI, reacts API would be drastically smaller.

My point is that it's not that simple (for better or for worse, some of the added complexity in the API IS essential IMO), but people still say things like "components are just functions" like it really is that simple.

For example:
https://reactjs.org/docs/react-component.html#static-getderi...

This note:

> Note that if a parent component causes your component to re-render, this method will be called even if props have not changed. You may want to compare new and previous values if you only want to handle changes.

Things like that are indications of hidden complexity, in my experience.
To anyone who has been calling for regulation of social media, here you go. This is what the actual result will gradually look like for everyone: you can ask the government to "protect" you from social media, but it is in the interest of government to work with social media platforms to do anything but protect your privacy. Don't think that your country is immune from the trend. The islands of potential protection from this grow smaller by the day, as pressure mounts, both internally and externally.

Remember that major governments have been, and undoubtedly continue to spy on all of us, either openly or covertly. You can #deletefacebook all you want - you won't be able to opt out of your own government's spying efforts.

"questionable contact importing practices"

Now this seems like something "no one" (other than "techies") would really care about, right?

Yet he is calling this out specifically. This just shows that people inside Facebook (or LinkedIn or the other internet companies that do this) cannot claim they see nothing wrong with these practices. They cannot claim "no one cares" except some outliers, e.g. nerds.

They know what they are doing is wrong. Even if users dont know what Facebook is doing, if they are duped into giving "consent", Facebook knows and knows it is wrong.

If someone pilfers other peoples email address books or mobile phone contacts, that gives a very effective view into peoples personal and business connections. The thief can "connect people" (e.g., find her next targets).

But, assuming this thief hasnt gone bananas, she doesnt start trying to justify the theft by saying she is on some grand mission to "connect people" and "Its just what I do." Shes a thief who steals email address books and contacts -- personal belongings that were never intended to be shared with anyone else.

Nor does it make sense for her to try to start a "debate" on whether or not her thievery is justified. Its wrong, she knew that from the start and she did it anyway. Her actions were intentional. Theres nothing to debate.

So the main[1] reason they changed the name was because they "have never had any sort of legal control over the use of its name". Clearly, based on the issue at hand, the name change hasn't helped.
