Yes I agree. Hybrid platforms always foster great productivity at the start. In the early days it’s like “wow, we just produced two apps in no time at all with one codebase”. But eventually the curve plateaus, and its more like “for F* sake, I just want to access the camera api one the phone!” I feel that you eventually spend more time in the later stages footering with the corner cases, than you saved in the early stages by getting it up and running quickly. Also, when React is dead, you’ll find it much easier and cheaper to find native developers, and more living documentation/support for native apis.

These days it’s becoming more common to have been compromised from multiple sources. And unfortunately storing passwords securely seems to still be too hard for a lot of companies. The more examples of your pattern an attacker has, the easier to work out your pattern.

With the frequency of new breach announcements I feel like you’re going to be fighting a losing battle. For now the best and safest solution is unique truly random passwords per site.

Australia, where you can't buy much online, and whatever you can buy takes 4 weeks to show up. You might like it, personally I'd prefer the convenience of being able to buy whatever I wanted whenever I wanted wherever I wanted and get it delivered in a few hours.

I suppose the counter to these moronic laws that make Brexit look like a great decision would be some new form of copyright like CC. We could in theory slap these on all community created content.

Infuriating interview for almost any socialist today, by which I mean the majority of people who identify with the marxist or (real, actually non-hierarchical and anti-statist) anarchist conception of the word.

Not to mention an embarrassingly bad and mystical account of the beliefs of the "enlightened billionaire class" and an astoundingly ahistorical account of how any rights for the marginalized were won in the 20th century. This is the same "englightened billionaire class" whose extractivist industries are pushing the planet ever closer ecological collapse, massive numbers of climate refugees, increasing militarization over resource control, etc.
Hopefully we get UBI welfare to further solidify the leaders' positions and top 10% of households positions.

Every since the expansion of the welfare state, and minimum wage laws, poverty has taken a sharp rise.

Watch and see how locking people perpetually into UBI will make the situation worse.

It is immoral to steal from a person and to redistribute to others.

2 wrongs will not make a right and that is why I'm against expanding giving more free stuff to people via UBI.

Now, I'm FOR UBI all-in because history and the realities of human incentives clearly points to:

- me securing my wealth and solidifying my position

- poor will get poorer (less competition for some contracts and jobs)

- masses will become complicit, avoiding civil war.

A lot of these business leaders are singing the same tune as Pro-UBI to appear good (and further solidify their positions).

Yes, can't wait for UBI it will be good cuz "technology and muh compassion".

Yeah right

I think it's interesting, but limiting, how he focuses on the creative arts as a solution: "to remind ourselves that the hotel maid who makes up our bed may in fact be an amateur painter? The accountant who does our taxes may well have a screenplay that he works on after the midnight hour?"

I'll submit that many, maybe even most, folks do not have these levels of creative aptitude. Moreover, the majority of creative output is crap to the majority of its consumers. I agree that the educational system is primarily ill-equipped to get people out of the current mentalities of employment, but I also think that there will be a certain, possibly large, subpopulation that doesn't have the aptitude or interest to do these sorts of things, even if there were such "magical training" to generate creative output that was valuable and desirable to most other people.

Even for the other fields he cited, like engineers, hedge-fund managers, etc., these currently require a high level of education and experience. No amount of training will reach the non-academically-inclined.

I think the future of people in the jobs that technology replaces is either to move to the direct service industry, which is much more difficult to automate and becomes more difficult to automate as the service level becomes higher, or abjectly falling out of the economy. Not everyone can paint or write a screenplay, and not everyone wants to.

Figar, a simple enhancement to the deep net heads behind the RL mechanism fixes the jitter for most Atari games as far as I have tested it. See https://openreview.net/forum?id=B1GOWV5eg and https://github.com/jolibrain/manette for code and results (not the author of the paper).
You're undercounting some triangles and missing the acute condition. For n = 4, there is more than one triangle with base 4 and height 4, for example: [(0, 0), (4, 0), (1, 4)]; [(0, 0), (4, 0), (2, 4)]; (and [(0, 0), (4, 0), (3, 4)] but it's congruent to the first so we don't count it). Furthermore, a triangle with base 16 and height 1 might be non-acute.
Yep it was the original JO code base, but I think that when I read it (it was already Tcl 8) a lot of other people had rewritten major parts, but the standard and quality were set I guess, and also the core team was composed of people that knew how to write code. About the new book: ordered it via Amazon, but Amazon Italy for some time now for small things use the local postal service, that always fails, so it returned back... to Amazon. I'll have to purchase it again.

>> The exploration problem can largely be bypassed in Montezuma’s Revenge by starting each RL episode by resetting from a state in a demonstration. By starting from demonstration states, the agent needs to perform much less exploration to learn to play the game compared to when it starts from the beginning of the game at every episode. Doing so enables us to disentangle exploration and learning.

Or in other words- use the Domain Knowledge, Luke. Quit trying to learn everything from scratch. Because that's just dumb.

Because I thought it was not a good idea to script Redis using an opinionated language as Tcl. Lua is a lot more "algol like", more understandable to the casual script writer.

EDIT: However there is an even more important thing that resembles Tcl in Redis: the commands you send to the server to alter the data set are very similar to Tcl commands.
Unfortunately, no. Spanner may garbage collect the snapshot timestamp to which your example query was bound, if the garbage collection policy was triggered by additional writes at greater timestamps, or by the simple passage of time. The result of the second query may be a permanent error indicating that your data has disappeared.

Spanner had a transactional MVCC system in their original implementation described in the 2012 paper which predates SQL support described in the 2017 paper. Therefore it is probably wrong to credit SQL with Spanner's MVCC system.

That was my thought as well - No visible connection on the surface of a PCB does not prove there is no connection on a pin, only that there is no connection on the surface.

Multilayer PCBs are commonplace, and a stealthy version which does not show the layers at the edge of the board and encapsulates ICs is not a stretch.

All that said I agree with the sentiment in other posts here that this attack vector is so obvious that the likelihood is higher that this is simple trolling. Then again, that kind of 'discovery' trolling also provides signals intelligence, of a kind, in observing the reactions to it.

> I want to visit an America where I can't understand what they're saying even though it's allegedly English, where you need to work at it, absorb the local dialect. Where they have strange terms for things that you need to learn to fit in.

Try visiting an English-speaking country that's not America. I suggest that because the inverse was true for me:

In 2010, I (Australian) ended up in a hotel somewhere between Mobile, Alabama and Pascagoula, Mississippi on my way to Pascagoula to go sailing for work. First time in America. In the morning, I wanted breakfast, and saw a Waffle House at a truck stop over the highway from the hotel. I knew them from films but I'd never been to one. I wandered in, and tried to order.

The waitress could not understand my accent, and I could not understand hers. I ended up ordering by pointing at the menu. Then I ate waffles with bacon and maple syrup (what a crazy mixture. I've had it since, but that was the first time) while listening to Southern accents around me, only 3/4 of which I could decipher. Let me tell you, hearing Southern accents in movies or TV did not prepare me for a random, back-of-nowhere truck stop outside a small town in Mississippi.

You might be able to get the same experience in a small town out back somewhere in Australia. Who knows. Try it :)
> If you create jobs all you want but at the same time move the profit from those jobs away (because the company stores don't have to pay taxes either) then what exactly is won?

Well, more jobs means more job options, which means better quality of life. Not to imply that it is a net gain, but it is a factor to consider.
>> Ceres seem to have more interesting variation and more carbon, possible volatiles, than the moon?

Current theory is that the moon was the result of a collision with earth. It is similar to earth because it was once part of earth. It formed under similar conditions to earth, its differences largely do to the reduced gravity and lack of plate tectonics. Planets far away form under different conditions and are therefore more different than the moon.
To be fair to Weinstein, he is saying that the enlightened self interest of the billionaire class to find a solution to capitalism arises from the threat of insurrection and the collapse their power. He describes Occupy as a peaceful warning shot to the ruling class. Next time they might not get off so easy.
The only way to counter these laws is to repeal them - there's no workaround. Basically, some big corp like A.S. will use this law to require filtering of their "protected" news publications, and since the only way to filter the content is to match it against the latest publications, and it's quite unlikely that a 3rd party provider will be ever able to implement such filter, everyone will be forced to buy the filter from A.S. And from other publishers, of course. This new source of revenue (or, better say, rent) could be one of the reasons for lobbying this law.

I feel that civil rights are still strong and well respected and generally these things shouldn't happen – so that perceptions is still accurate. Maybe not that much in Bavaria, but natinolly still, yes.

About the more technical legal question: I think – as some other commenter pointed out – the legal basis for the search should be the same. The searches themselves should be governed by the respective police law – in other states the police would be a little more restricted in how to handle the searches.
Computing as biology is the (temporary) perspective Alan Kay states in his famous quote: "We don't have a science of software engineering. Until we do, we should take advantage of late binding" [1]

Once we are able to figure out things like model checking, program analysis, abstract interpretation and type systems, we will be able to do computing in a similar way to that of Mathematics. Or at least a bit closer, I think.

> Every since the expansion of the welfare state, and minimum wage laws, poverty has taken a sharp rise.

This isn't true. It declined sharply in the 1960s, a period of time that saw the welfare state expand significantly. It rose again in the late 70s/mid-80s and has been oscillating since, largely trailing boom/bust cycles.

Conversely, technology also allows similar people to refine their ideas about what makes them similar. Cultures will maintain their separate ideas and market strategies as long as there are enough people to pay for them. After all, Walmart is struggling in other markets as varied as China and Canada, because their model doesn't adapt very well outside the US. Likewise, visiting a KFC in China is actually very different from visiting a KFC in the US.

It sounds like the current billionaires still think they are entitled to be super rich and should control the world but they also want to feel good about themselves.

I want to challenge you on a few fronts.

1. Different parts of the US have vastly different values and cultural differences. Unless of course you want to compare SF, to rural Utah filled with devout Mormons, to the south side of Chicago, to Miami and say they're all the same.

2. The argument you're making is essentially against cosmopolitanism. I don't per say disagree, but it should be known that while you listed off the "fun" parts of a huge diversity of culture in one country you also run into the less fun when it comes to shared values on things like equality of the sexes, permissiveness of different sexual orientations and religions etc. Those very much so are also a huge part of cultural diversity.
Also bear in mind that China already had a population of ~130m at year 1500. More than twice as much population as the next 5 biggest groups combined (french empire, ottomans, Inca, HRE, and southern Indiana).

Literally like 30% of the world's population in one empire.

Just to keep scale in perspective.
In the days of old, they would scrub the decks of ships while under sail for no reason than to keep the crew busy to prevent boredom which was considered a cause of mutiny. Perhaps, not having a system where people are working all the time is dangerous for no other reason.

> I am an engineer, with a PhD in physics. The theory had exactly zero use as soon as I quit academia.

Counter-example: I have a M.Sc in CS, with a specialization in programming languages. I know how to build a compiler, and it helps me almost every day. I’m not building a compiler every day, but the things I’ve learnt from compilers influence every piece of code I write. I can better optimize my code knowing how it’ll be compiled/interpreted by the machine.

In fact, I spent a lot of time at the university complaining I was learning useless stuff. Nowadays I’m super-grateful to my teachers for providing me all that knowledge I use every day, even if it’s not a direct application.
Don't be like that.

“Ultimately the Operating System doesn't (and can't) know whether the storage is actually going to retain data you've written to it.”

illumos and ZFS do know about it, especially since ZFS will checksum every block and will perform an explicit flush for every write. Should the drive lie about it, the checksum won’t match.

Wikipedia had some more interesting info https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/D._B._Cooper

The Bureau were more skeptical, concluding that Cooper lacked crucial skydiving skills and experience. "We originally thought Cooper was an experienced jumper, perhaps even a paratrooper," said Special Agent Larry Carr, leader of the investigative team from 2006 until its dissolution in 2016. "We concluded after a few years this was simply not true. No experienced parachutist would have jumped in the pitch-black night, in the rain, with a 200-mile-an-hour wind in his face, wearing loafers and a trench coat. It was simply too risky. He also missed that his reserve 'chute was only for training, and had been sewn shut—something a skilled skydiver would have checked."[83] He also failed to bring or request a helmet, chose to jump with the older and technically inferior of the two primary parachutes supplied to him,[53] and jumped into a −70 °F (−57 °C) wind chill without proper protection against the extreme cold.[110][111]
