It's especially bad with mobile phones and limited tariffs. Speed could be high but latency also high, so probably a lot of data would be pushed to the socket before client can respond that he doesn't need it. And mobile internet often has very tight limits. HTTP/2 reuses connection, so its speed will be high and TCP windows will be large. A practical example: my phone has 4G connection with 40 Mb/s download speed and 280 ms latency to Seattle. That's a 1.4 MB of data downloaded for 280 ms. I have larger limit, but a lot of people use cheapest Internet plan wit 3 GB limit, so that's a 0,05% of limit just for one request, it'll sum over days pretty quickly.
Not the best I've seen but definitively one I would like to recover the link to : a Googler presentation where she explain how they took about 2 years developing a memory optimisation (circa 2007~2009 IIRC) and manage to finish a few months before it became indispensable because they were about to have an hardware shortage. They were consuming hardware faster than the industry could produce. I just can't remember who she was nor the link. Does it rings a bell to anyone ?

I think its much more likely it was an accademic working around this area in the years leading up to bitcoin. Staying anonymous is an extremely clever and mature thing to do, I'd say whoever it is is 30 years old +. Possibly someone notable in the field but I'd say more likely not, it's a radical idea, unconventional thinkers have a hard time in academia in general. So my wild unfounded guess is: someone who did a phd in something similar, worked within a university for a while, left for the corporate world. Got bored and couldnt stop thinking about the ideas from his phd. Ruminated for 1 - 10 years and finally put pen to paper.
I wonder to what extent can Sears' creditors go after Seritage.

It can't be as simple an algorithm as:

1. Buy a company

2. Spin off major assets into another company

3. Have the original take debt and pay the money to the spinoff

4. Bankrupt the original, but keep the healthy spinoff
without paying any of the debt

5. Profit!

... can it?

I think what people are mostly afraid of is e.g. developing breeds that we cannot control and that drown out other essential species.
1. A fascinating question to which we do not have a good answer. We fundamentally do not understand the connection between which cells compose a circuit and how that circuit is related to the spatial and temporal characteristics of the information that it processes. To make an analogy to electronics, we can look at the retina and say "oh, this must do something spatial" and we can look at the tympanic membrane and say "ah! this must do something with frequency" but if you were to compare the purely cellular structures of visual and auditory cortex, you might notice that there were a bunch of spiny stellate cells in layer 4 of one region that were not there in the other, but what that means? We haven't the faintest idea. Note also, that there have been many reports of people with sensory deficits (i.e. blindness, or deafness) having "gain of function" in other cortical regions. It is not clear that this is actually what is going on.

2. Yes. This we do have very strong evidence for. Visual, auditory, somatosensory, olfactory, etc. cortex are present in all mammals and the connectivity patterns between them an other brain structures are conserved. Birds do not have laminar cortex but instead have nuclear (or nucleated) cortex where functional units seem to be organized into nuclei or bundles of cells rather than layers. However, the genes, connectivity, and function of these units seems to be strikingly similar to that of laminar mammalian cortex [0].

3. Cortex is problematic. All vertebrates have basically the same peripheral circuitry for measuring the world. Rods, cones, merkel disks (touch), tastebuds, and olfactory sensory neurons are all highly conserved. So in that sense the answer is yes. We we get to cortex, things change. There is no evidence that there are fundamental cytoarchitectural differences between language. There might be between hearing and deaf, especially if the individual has been deaf from birth. See Carla Shatz work on cortical development [1].

4. No evidence for this. We don't have a very good understanding of how or even whether certain gross anatomical features are related to intelligence. The Human Connectome Project is probably the closest to having population data that could answer the question. Otherwise the geneticists are way ahead [2], but we don't know how their results are manifest in the brain.

It's funny that you do go to the trouble of commenting this, which probably takes longer and more effort than clicking the link. I do get your point though.
I agree with you that there is nothing new to this sort of thing, but why does there need to be a common standard? Personally I'd prefer a few different standards with their own ideas competing instead of a single one that is just some compromise between the different ones.

A globus cruciger is a small sphere with a cross affixed to the top. Christian medieval rulers would hold one as a symbol of dominion over Earth (with the cross dominating the Earth's globe).

Even before Christ, they used to just hold globes. It's the same image as that "evil megacorporation controlling the world" hand-holding-Earth image we've all seen before.

My point is that they seem to have known continuously since ancient times that the Earth was a sphere. They were using globus crucigers the whole time. Even in the Dark Ages, the Byzantine Emperor had coins made with his image holding such a globe, around 700AD.

It seems more like they'd know the Earth was round but really have no reason to care or spend any time thinking about it, the same way we don't spend time talking about the microwave background radiation from the big bang or the structure of our local galactic supercluster. These people didn't even have a standard unit to measure bags of grain from one village to the next. Assuming they had any grain to measure at all.

> Snaps seem to work well where they work, but it's limited by their systemd dependency.

A more serious issue with snaps is that they rely on AppArmor as a security mechanism, which is not actually present on most Linux systems (only Ubuntu variants, SUSE and Solus). The snaps will still run elsewhere, but not with the same security as you might think you were getting.

In a twisted way, POSIX is C's runtime that the committee wasn't willing to make part of ISO C.

So unless one is coding in straight C there is very little pressure to care about POSIX anyway, as all other languages, including C++, have a better OS independent standard library.
Many years ago, I had the privilege of having Prof Peter Saunders as my MSc adviser while at King's College London. Peter Saunders was (apart from being a great educationalist), the person who did the maths behind James Lovelock's Gaia hypothesis. He was far and away the best maths teacher I ever had.

Anyway, he also taught a dynamical systems (chaos theory) class to a mixture of MSc students and final year undergrads. On this occasion, he was explaining some principle, and was busy talking while writing on the board.

He turns round, and there is a sea of blank looking faces in front of him. No one has understood.

"Well it's obvious" he says, and turns back to the board.

2 minutes later, he turns back. Now there is a sea of bored looking faces in front of him. Why?

Well it's obvious...

Everyone understood completely. Genius at work

After skimming the paper, I get the sense that there's this underlying assumption that the goal of education is to get students to learn specific facts, i.e. that a physics student should learn the formula that force equals mass times acceleration.

While there is of course lots of value in ensuring that students can learn specific facts and figures, the criticism (if I recall correctly) is that an approach that dictates specificity of recall as the end goal is not an approach that induces a lifelong love of learning. Most of the value in an experiential-based approach is not limited to the specificity of facts learned during the experiences, but in the cognitive linking of learning with the dynamism of the experience, which encourages independent growth.

This leads back to the philosophical question of whether our school systems should focus on graduating students who know specific knowledge (an approach that leads to standardized testing), or students who have become independently capable lifelong learners (a more holistic approach that tries to adapt to students' individual strengths). Which approach better prepares students for life after school, and equally important, which approach can prove to scale to the levels required for public education?

I'm not talking about hardcoded layout; the math to position a view a certain distance away from an edge is very easy to write.

In fact, it's easier to make dynamic views in code. What if you want some part of your layout to change based on the size of a view (as determined by screen size, dynamic type setting, language and so on)? Do you create two separate XIB files? How do you keep them in sync?

For EU citizens, collecting data either requires a very strong reason (like not being to operate the service otherwise), or opt-in.

You can absolutely operate an URL shortening service without massive data collection, which means they need to get an opt-in for data storage from every EU citizen clicking on such a link, otherwise they are in huge trouble with GDPR.

So yes, I can absolutely be surprised that they don't seem to care about the law.
“The Russians are really good at this. Better than us"

I disagree. US LE and intelligence services are at least as good at subverting the security of US information systems as Russians. State and local governments have taken all practical and legal measures to make it worse for my entire life by:

--banning and nerfing crypto (from the old export ban to present),

--hoarding vulnerabilities,

--prosecuting whistle-blowers who threaten to embarrass large companies,

--chilling research with vague and draconian hacking laws (CFAA),

--turning an indifferent eye to dangerously invalid security assumptions underlying telecom, payment systems, data brokers (cellular, ACH, CC/MCVISA, Experian et. all)

--and then getting into turf wars over who gets to exploit those defective systems in secret...

...and just hoping no one outside our jurisdiction will notice.

The military has made mistakes like this too. Remember that time that they used unencrypted video transmission for the MQ-9 predator drone? Someone noticed.* The strategy that “the best defense is a good offense” is probably not appropriate for information security.

Part of this is an economic problem as described, for example, by Schneier in his recent Op-Ed. There is little short term incentive for vendors to accept the opportunity cost of building secure systems; if you can’t write it yourself a parade of ethically questionable, bumbling contractors (HBGary?) will sell you after the fact solutions.

Hopefully the US military takes it’s own operational security seriously enough to keep soldiers from carrying off-the-shelf commercial cell phones, as the Ukrainians reportedly did. Maybe this is harder than it sounds; it’s apparently hard even to keep presidents from trying to do this. It appears demonstrably unrealistic to expect that government personnel will remain unaffected by the insecure systems used by unwashed masses of civilians. The actual attacks discussed in the article are mostly against large scale public infrastructure. The root of these problems is not really something you can shoot at.

The article offers a number of quotes like the following, by Major General Gedney: “It’s got to be operationalized down into a genuine multi-domain battle.” I really have no idea what this means, but I sure hope it means “instead of government agencies undermining civilian infosec and then using the vulnerabilities to advance our parochial interests, let’s help the private sector fix it, or at least get out of the way.”

platforms using cheap software to exploit the use of unencrypted data links between
the unmanned system and the ground control station.” RAND Corporation. 2014. (https://www.rand.org/content/dam/rand/pubs/research_reports/...)

As the VFL docs say, "The notation prefers good visualization over completeness of expressibility." For example, it's impossible to create an item with equal height and width in VFL. It's definitely not more capable than other layout systems. It's strictly less capable than auto-layout, for one.

I made my birthdate private on Facebook and now I only receive congratulating from family and a few close friends.

I don’t think it’s because people don’t remember you though, I think it’s because Facebook has trained us to let it be our assistant for birthdays. It’s also made you used to having tons of people “remember” you, even though they would have never done so before Facebook. It’s really a lonelyness machine in that regard.

When I left Facebook for a period I didn’t remember birthdays either though. I’ve since added birthdays to my contacts so my Callander app is now responsible for being my birthday assistant instead of Facebook.

I also always send a SMS or call and never congratulate on Facebook, exactly because it’s so shallow.

> But if you feel that reducing your spending means living in poverty

I think at the point you can't afford to house yourself because your income has been reduced or reallocated so you need to live with relatives, you're in poverty, whether you want to think of yourself that way or not.

> then maybe it's not for you, and you really need to leave entrepreneurship to other people.

There are other ways to go about it, such as doing it in addition to a regular job. It's not always possible, and the type of business you want to start might not be amenable to this, and it does put a lot of strain on the individual, but it is another valid path. It's the one I've been taking for the last nine months.

Disappointing is that this is the more likely outcome, rather than easing the sensory overload, stress, and discomfort.
I think you nailed it. I'm so comfortable seeing words that symbols can blur into the background and require extra effort to focus on. Languages with multi character symbols and chains of symbols add to the discomfort.

Once I've learned the language and internalized the semantics they mostly fade away, except in cases like C++ where you get multiple asterisks and whatnot.

I'm not the above poster but I also dislike the symbols usage I've seen in Rust. I'm on mobile so I can't show examples (and I don't know the language at all) but it has the same smell as symbols in C++ though not as bad. Like character silhouettes in Team Fortress 2, symbols need to appear distinct. Chains of them should be limited. My first impressions of Rust felt like the symbols or operators were less than ergonomic. Small or blending together.

For me, one aspect is releasing a useful app, and users immediately screaming 'why isn't it free?' + 'anyone could have made that, I don't see why you should charge'.

And losing all momentum on launch.

People have been spoiled by large companies releasing apps that costs tens of thousands/hundreds of thousands to develop. And have huge server and maintenance costs for free(lets just say you don't pay with money..)
Perhaps, but I would be careful to apply 'older execute better' as a general explanation for the study result.

It's possible but selection bias could also be playing a huge role here.

I can't imagine a more risky period to step out of a 'career' and become a founder than 45. So it's possible people making the leap at this age are a lot more certain about their chances of success before taking the plunge than younger (and much older) people who have less to lose.
