And they are likely going to get more centralized over time. The smaller currencies, outside of the top 10, are now all likely vulnerable to 51% attacks. I wouldn't be surprised if that grows to include any outside of the top 5 soon.

It looks like this is how smaller currencies die, they are vulnerable at any time to 51% attacks thus no one wants to use them. At least in the traditional banking system if you had a lot of money you could manipulate exchange rates, but you couldn't just outright steal when you had extreme market power.

For someone like me, with an auto-immune disease, if 'boosting' my immune system was actually a real thing I would become more sick. Reading through the responses posted here - natural remedies, drink lots of water, get your kids to eat nuts, try and be a little bit dirty, reduce animal products - you can see that the advice is not based in good science or is purely based on someone's anecdotes or beliefs.

Little background, i am a mainframe Db2 DBA. @Work other than Db2, i use JCL and Rexx programming language(limited number of scalar functions to use but easy to work with). I decided to learn offhost platforms and languages endpoint is to host something on web or process something in cloud, since cloud is all up in the news, this was 3 years back. Started with C#(processing & analysis) & ASP.NET, i like the Visual studio but its a big dog, slows my system. Next proceeded with Java as i have studied java in college, best thing about java is if you have something in mind there might be a 3rd party library for it which will help you a lot in your learning path or development. I was interested in web development using databases, then you will have to go with JSP, i am not interested in JSP. So proceeded to learn python completed a course in udemy and for database programming you will have to learn frameworks thats another set of installs and courses. While attempting i was getting lots of issues and burning time, so i had put a pause on it and started looking for an alternative language for web development with conditions such as (platform independent, less number of installs don't want to slow my system) ended with NodeJS, javascript and bit of jQuery and i like it finished a course run by Andrew Mead and developing a personal TODO app in Google Cloud using firebase as database and hosting in firebase itself.

I have python in training plan as well, since it also has lots of 3rd party library and wide support from online community.

I like to keep my learning to a limited set of languages and not spend more time on learning.
At first software launches felt like that.

Getting a software out in public is very stressful the first times you do it, essentially this is fear of _social rejection_ I guess and it can be harder for introverts. But customers and people are much, much nicer than one can expect! Especially if you love your product chances are people will love it too.
You'll get used to be "vulnerable" in this way, meaning anyone with an internet connection can criticize your "baby" unfairly (but most of the time fairly!).

Sales, bugs and getting criticism are actually really fun once you get to enjoy them!

My advice is to give you some time to be energetic before launch, so as not to begin it tired.
If I can add my interpretation of his comment:

Consider which language is sold to people-off-the-street as "How to Program!" it's python. Most of these people do not enjoy the cognitive effort, detailed typing and symbolic work, algorithmic thinking, architectural thinking, linguistic thinking that is "programming". At best, the enjoy the end result, but not the process.

Python taught in this way at least, fools people into thinking that programming is about something far simpler and more toylike than it is. Many "hard" disciplines do this: sell children and lay people on toy experiments that momentarily captive but have no relationship to what a practitioner of that discipline does.

The older system of recruitment would be to polarized hard, ie., to throw people in at the deep-end to scare off all the people who would waste time/resources training. Who remained really wanted to do that thing (eg. physics, programming, ...).

Today we're doing something perhaps vaguely immoral: selling people on a career that has no relationship to the sales pitch.
If one writes a Perl one-liner where AWK will do, that’s avarice.

I used to maintain and debug a relatively large and an extremely complex build engine in Perl for a living for several years, and there was no construct in there that could not have been easily written in AWK.
> You've reinforced my decision not to have kids, far too much responsibility.

Absolutely. I agree with you and I think more people should choose to not have children. There is still a stigma about it. I think the stigma would go away or at least subside if more people opted to not have children.
I will go back and try Apple maps from time to time.

It will just do crazy stuff. Ask for something and want you to drive, literally, to something 300 miles away. It is easily confused when you use something by it's name.

But trying to use Apple Maps on holiday in Europe was almost useless.

Then so many other things. Google Maps will tell you if the place will be open or closed when you will get there for example.

Apple use to stand for providing the best products. The best user experience. Somehow that has been lost and become acceptable to do a poor job.

Same with Siri. It is just an awful user experience compared to using the Google Assistant.

Guess my question is why is this acceptable? Look at their privacy agreement and you approve them collecting all kinds of data so that is not it. Heck Apple even forces you to accept them collecting data on people you interact with in the US.

https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/en-ww/

"When you share your content with family and friends using Apple products, send gift certificates and products, or invite others to participate in Apple services or forums, Apple may collect the information you provide about those people such as name, mailing address, email address, and phone number. Apple will use such information to fulfill your requests, provide the relevant product or service, or for anti-fraud purposes."

I am tired of Apple getting a pass on offering a poor user experience. What they use to be all about.

The cargo cult continues.

It's disgusting how much we all rely on intuition and gut feelings when evaluating large swathes of technology. The internet hates perl so people criticize it without even using it. People will use what everybody else is using without actually trying out the options. There's too much information and so we must go with what others have said, and it all becomes hearsay. Keeping up is more like wizardry than engineering. Go with what the crowd says because I can't possibly install all of those libraries, play with the examples, and give my own evaluation.

Why entrepreneur is such a valuable term for you?
In the end it is about user experience and Apple has failed to provide a competitive user experience with Apple Maps and Siri for that matter. To be that is not excusable.

It has now been long enough for them to get it better and worries me that it is just now acceptable at Apple.
Yeah, I got a bit of a shock when I first used our one and my fifteen minute query took two months of CPU time. Thought maybe I'd done something wrong until I was assured that was quite normal.

There are plenty of good use cases for these, and I'm sure there are legitimate ways people can decide they're happy with the trade-off.

However, for me this screams of a Facebook style scandal coming sooner or later. People buying these things often don't really know what the business model is behind this, and don't know really know how Amazon/Google is going to make money. We can all sit here and speculate about it as informed people, but that's not the general market. I could easily see in 2 years time people turning around and saying "What do you MEAN Amazon has been ordering more expensive versions of products when I use the Echo" or "What do you mean Google showed me adverts for Ron Paul because I keep asking it about chem trails".

The power of the information collected by these devices is incredibly far reaching, and incredibly profitable, and at the moment most people aren't really capable of giving informed consent.
But when did Apple doing an ok job become acceptable at Apple?

Why not try to provide the best user experience? Well that is how Apple use to be. Siri and mapping are important applications that are all about user experience. They should have been in the wheelhouse of Apple to innovate and provide something way better than anyone else.

Here is a great link that just lays out how much worse the user experience with Apple Maps compared to Google Maps.

Favorite tidbits:

- This is only for experimental self-driving vans shuttling employees. It will have drivers to take control on demand.

- Initially Apple planned self-driving vehicle where 4 seats face each other, sunroof material that gives less hit, electrically tinted windows and holographic windshields.

- Project was abandoned because they realized "designing and building fundamental parts of a new car was not simple".

- Apple tried to partner with someone who can do manufacturing while they do design. BMW, Mercedes, Nissan - all rejected that offer.

- Ive was charged with design. Tim Cook drives BMW so he wanted to partner with them.

- VW accepted the offer because they have been beaten a lot. They will supply basic components while Apple will add others.

It surprises to me no end that a company with $100B in funds, vast experience in supply chain and ability to suck up virtually all talent is struggling so badly at a technology that is over 100 years old while Tesla with its shoestring budgets leap frogged all established players. Goes on to show that leader at the top makes all the difference in the world.

Actually it failed for a bunch of reasons, and by the time Porsche had to make the takeover bid they had to offer below stock price, because they ran out of money. In the end Qatar invested a billion or two (who keeps track of small change anyway) into Porsche to reduce their billions of debts a bit and VW effectively swallowed Porsche.

IIRC in the aftermath several analysts stepped forward saying the entire approach was flawed and was extremely unlikely to work out from the outset; Porsche committed some strategic mistakes later on in the process, which did not improve things.

Used Google Maps all across Europe not long ago on holiday and just amazed how well it works. Kids would try with Apple Maps and mostly we would end up laughing as it directed us to some crazy place that Google Maps would get on the first try.

But my issue is the bigger picture. I just do not get why it is acceptable at Apple to provide a poor user experience with Siri and Apple Maps compared to competitors?

That we are all part of a macro-organism. we all act as parts of the body and the more we organise the more we collectively grow.

populations that are decimated lose massive amounts of knowledge and only increase in numbers increases the complexity of the technology.

in a lot of ways we act like cells in the human body. nothing tells them to be what they are, they find an opening and fill the role required of them.

this doesn't mean we are going anywhere specific, but it does mean that as we work together our collect potential grows.

That's the right to data portability, which is your right to have your data with an electronic service transferred to another service in a machine readable format.

It has nothing to do with data subject access requests, which is encoded in Article 15: https://gdpr-info.eu/art-15-gdpr/

"Where the data subject makes the request by electronic means, and unless otherwise requested by the data subject, the information shall be provided in a commonly used electronic form."

That does not mean machine readable.
I've used Python for years and a little Perl. CPAN works pretty well when used with ActiveState...not sure about Unix. Python on Windows stinks when using Pip and there is some VisualStudio C++ library dependency you need and they don't even have anymore. With Python it is best to get a large distribution that bundles everything already such as Anaconda...not worth the hassle.

Major thing for Android developers is that the adoption of new Android versions is so slow, we're really stuck with Java 6/7 features. While backend can happily update to Java 15 on their own terms, we're limited by Android OEMs to provide updates to their phones. This is one of the reasons Kotlin is so popular with Android -- you get new Kotlin features when you want to, not when all of your app users buy new hardware (and good luck convincing business people to ditch 10% of the users on old API versions). While we get support for Java 8 (but not 9 or 10) language features via special tool, we still don't have access to Java 8+ APIs.

The problem with that approach is that market cycles serve important purpose: they faciliate best allocation of our resources by ensuring that inefficient companies will go bankrupt. Smoothing those cycles out enables poorly managed companies to stay in business for way too long. Then, since there's a limit to a market manipulation that central banks can do we end up with one huge crisis, like Great Depression, or 2008 housing buble, instead of series of small ones.

I’m not sure that I am grasping the distinction you are making.
The problem is that there is essentially no limit to how detailed a map can be. As long as Google continues to add detail to their maps as fast as Apple does, Apple will not be able to catch up.

Most other products have a plateau where adding more features ceases to make the product better.

Apple Maps definitely has improved a lot since when it was introduced in 2012.

I can't cite any research on boredom. But after reading some articles I realized that continuous consumption of entertaining information makes me tired and agitated. So I restricted social media and internet news only to desktop and left only messaging apps on my phone, letting myself get bored while commuting or waiting for something. While subjective and anecdotal, I can confirm that occasional boredom is good for my emotional state and intellectual performance. I kind of even enjoy the periods of boredom I have now.
I would bet that back in 199x there would have been countless articles (more like usenet posts) about "from C++ to Java and back" telling all the downsides and gotchas with Java.

I'm not even sure you would need to exchange it to another coin. You would never be exchanging it to USD because USD withdrawals will require you to identify yourself and a corresponding bank account. To withdraw crypto you just need an address.

So you can exchange it to BTC or ETH and withdraw. Or you can just deposit it and withdraw it after. Most exchanges just mix customer funds together, so as long as the exchange has enough BTG balance minus the double spent deposit, they will send you real BTG.

That is NOT true. Here in the US is the Apple privacy agreement.

https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/en-ww/

Apple has access to all the same data. Plus Apple even takes the right to collect data on people you interact with. I quote

"When you share your content with family and friends using Apple products, send gift certificates and products, or invite others to participate in Apple services or forums, Apple may collect the information you provide about those people such as name, mailing address, email address, and phone number. Apple will use such information to fulfill your requests, provide the relevant product or service, or for anti-fraud purposes."

Wish we could end this narrative that is just not true. Heck Apple told the TV networks they would share your viewing data on the Apple TV.

"Apple TV service will share viewing data with networks, report claims"

http://www.trustedreviews.com/news/apple-tv-service-will-sha...

Google will target ads in some cases but they are not giving your data away to a third party.

Plus Apple handing over all their users data in China has to be the biggest privacy betrayal example with any big tech company in the US. Have we ever had anything else like it?
