Flip phones were huge in Japan from about 2000 up to the iPhone. Nokia-style chocolate bars were never really popular there. I think a new flip phone which folded out into a large flat screen (rather than having a physical keyboard) might be an interesting proposition.

For what you describe in your message above, have you thought about buying a laptop with built in SIM card support or alternately USB 4G SIM card modem?
It's automated scanning for malware. That's it.
> It seems like you don't understand how coverage works for cancer treatment. The question isn't whether the medication is banned outright - it's whether it will be approved to be used for a specific patient in their treatment plan (paid for by the NHS).

Please tell me how you think cancer drug funding works in England, because I'm pretty sure you're wrong.

But let's assume for the moment that you're right: please link to an article about a patient who would have been kept alive for 5 years if they'd been given treatment but they were denied the treatment because it cost more than £50,000.

If anything the UK was spending too much on cancer drugs that provided no benefit - no extension of life, combined with unpleasant side effects that lowered quality of life.

SF's entrance fee is €30. There are at least 3 million visitors a year. Money is also collected from private donations.

The building and maintenance costs are €25m a year.

The rest goes... somewhere.

Considering that the city has to provide significant transport and other infrastructure support, this new deal is a bit of a bargain for the project.
Here in India, I grew up with the Basic Dart (from the OP site) as the default paperplane for kids to do. But the one you linked to was also pretty common, usually made by the "cool" uncles entertaining kids at parties.

What's the difference between this and Authenticode?
Well I don't agree with your basic premise that this change is bad for either users or developers, so no.
I enjoyed his argument.
Yeah ... people . But the good news is that once you get past the naive phase of things not working as you expect , there is a light at the end of the tunnel and ways to organise things so that they do work with human (or at least cultural) nature.
You don't even need to go that far. Someone Bloomberg trusted has his own motivations for not being honest. Maybe that individual wanted to stoke fears of China. Or they were having a laugh. I have no way of knowing at this point.
Microsoft does this with drivers since Windows 10 (attestation singing). I think this is okay, since users hold Microsoft responsible if the kernel crashes and this at least gives them the possibility to investigate.

Signing apps with normal (EV) code signing certificates is the best we have for other apps, I think. If you detect malware signed by a a certificate you blacklist that one and foward information to the relevant criminal authorities. If they don't investigate you blacklist the whole country. That last step is probably the most controversial one, but otherwise you still have a malware problem.
Then Apple would simply say nothing.

Saying nothing is Apple's thing. No one would question them saying nothing.

I can see the case for representing characters' inner states, it's an important part of the story, but modern literary fiction takes it way too far.

Considering how things are written now maybe the inner states are the story? Maybe collectively we've shifted to being more interested in exploring human thoughts and emotions and not so much the direct action anymore? And maybe in a hundred years or so we'll shift our curiosity in some other part of the interaction that is life.

Exploration always swings between taking it way too far and taking it way too near.
How can you be against cruelty to animals and still regularly consume meat?

This question I ask sincerely.

There are other equally ethical considerations: global warming, land use, energy/water use, etc. I feel that any one of these should give most people pause.
Curses, he's working to eradicate polio without suffering personally for it?

This has always been the argument in favour of things like materialist and capitalist philosophy - the outcomes are much better than the alternative.

There are countless well-meaning individuals who have achieved nothing, because they give their wealth away early on, compared to this one convenient counterexample in Gates, who firstly made obscene wealth with tactics that were pretty shady in my opinion, certainly anti competitive, then did flat-out more good.

If Gates were more relatively generous through his life, it is pretty plausible that he and a lot of poor people throughout in the world would be _worse off_. This is a strong argument against being relatively generous.
Consuming meat and factory farming are not directly related things. Meat can just as well be produced by better farming methods or processes like hunting. Doesn't mean that's how people end up getting their meet, but mostly people don't generate the chain of logistics they end up using, and it's not directly related to the product itself.

This chain of thought also doesn't go anywhere, unless you want to end up a hermit of some sort, because pretty much every logistic chain is contaminated.

> There are other equally ethical considerations: global warming, land use, energy/water use, etc. I feel that any one of these should give most people pause.

Hmm. I'd say global warming et. al. is not even in the same universe ethics-wise compared to animal farming.
A lot of this article is based on Jacy's new book, which I reviewed and summarized earlier this year. Well worth checking out to dive deeper into some of these issues. Link here: https://medium.com/@hnryjmes/61-key-insights-and-thoughts-af...

“1. The scale of animal suffering is in the hundreds of billions killed every year. Most of that is unnecessary, which further adds to the tragedy. However, horror on this sort of scale just doesn’t motivate some people. For them, we need to talk about other things — or the message simply won’t stick.”

Yes, you can sign an app with a third party certificate, but only a Developer ID certificate works with Gatekeeper. And there is no app review when you notarise and app anyway.
It is hard to believe that Apple, of all companies, does not understand how customers build their "device portfolios":

• one device = biggest phone

• two devices = 13/12 laptop or iPad Pro 12 + medium phone

• three devices = 13/12 laptop, iPad 10.5 + smallest phone

• four devices = three devices + watch / AR glasses

It does not take a genius to see that the iPhone SE form factor is the logical choice for Apple customers with three or four devices. These are the customers spending the most money in Apple's ecosystem.

In the absence of a product visionary at the helm, large companies may want to ask why US/EU customers purchased a product developed for the Indian market. Abandoning emerging markets' low-cost phones does not require abandoning the global market of customers buying a coordinated portfolio of fit-for-purpose devices.

On a secondary footnote, the creation of "Screen Time" is likely a pre-emptive defense against future lawsuits for smartphone health consequences, ranging from eye health to psychological effects on developing brains.

What reduces screen time? A small phone like the iPhone SE that can still be used with headphones for audio. So there is a legal argument to be made for small phones: the presence in a corporate product line allows liability to be shifted to customers — if you suffer negative consequences from screen time, you should have bought the small phone to discourage screen use.

On the other hand, if companies only offer large phones, and we find out years later that they knew the health risks of excess screen time were increased by large phones, they would have contributed to the problem instead of possible solutions (like the iPhone SE).
That's a false dilemma. It is the same with any process. On a functional level, input output correlation is defining. On a mechanical level, we may recognize a structure equal to another black box. Indeed, dividing a structure into separate components is the key technique of learning. The problem is just how highly complex the brain is and that the "output" here is rather different from that of a blood cell or a dna strand. In fact, being based on and perhaps even interacting with those and other building blocks, is what makes the brain so abstract. So speech modeled as the output of dna is necessairly higher up the chain of abstraction than a microscopic ribose enzyme or what. But it appears to as us macro precisely because we don't understand all of it. You have effect and cause reversed.

If we knew where to look better, it wouldn't be a problem. Chances are experts know way better, but there are really few who know enough to see a bigger picture and can guide the search. I'm trying to say they are breaking it open, inserting probes and imaging it working. But as far as the "output" is concerned, everyone is naturally aspiring to be an expert. A lot of unguided superficial theorizing may be informative as well, to great length as it concerns psychology and related fields.
Then why bother at all opening during the day? Surely not for the $5 in profit?
> How can you be against cruelty to animals and still regularly consume meat?

Are you implying all meat consumption equates cruelty to animals? Or are you referring specifically to consumption of meat produced cruelly, e.g. by factory farms?

You are right of course. But someone in wheelchair and a blind person have different requirements. Where I live most busses can accommodate people with wheelchair. People also are extremely helpful to blind people. I see ordinary people helping blinds cross the street. So if a blind person boards a bus all he has to do is to tell his stop to the driver or to a passenger near him.

I love Scandinavian countries for that specific reason. People don't care about you but they will help you if you really need anything and relationships are very strong and take years to come. Here in Greece for example relationships are fake and fade from day one. You met a guy on Monday and on Friday you get an invitation to his house BUT the next Monday they pretend they haven't met you. Too much socialization leads to sociopathic disorders.

Yeah people in videos talk slow. They also do the whole introduction thing.

Because we have a biological need for meat. Meat tastes good because we need it to thrive (note, we can survive on a vegetarian diet but it is not optimal).

>How can you be against cruelty to animals and still regularly consume meat?

How can you be against slave labor of children and still regularly wear clothing made in sweatshops?

It's easy, it's a cost-benefit trade-off. It is simply too expensive. People understand that animals are treated horribly and every time I see such a video I immediately stop eating meat for a week or so and then it slowly creeps back. The biological alternatives are just too expensive right now. IF there is lab grown meat that tastes the same and costs the same I'll happily stop eating the other type of meat.

The point is, people are fully aware that clothing by HM/Nike/Primark is made by slave labor but there is so much working against us.

First of all, ads. Ads work, that's a fact. Second, the fact that there is a market (we buy and sell clothing in stores) further occupies our attention and leads to min/maxing of cost/benefit in the store (making us forget that the clothing is created by slave labor by children). Third, there is the whole substitution bias "if I won't buy it, someone else will!" which is a bullshit argument.

The fact is that humans are really kind of stupid and every time we walk in a store so much shit is thrown at us that we completely forget about 99% of the important things in life and just shop for bargains ... everytime I'm in the Primark I have to remind myself that there are children suffering for this, yet I still bought two shorts for $8 each and have worn them quite often.

Sorry for the long rant. Just my two cents.
The authors of Capitalism without Capital would argue that Starbucks are reaping the rewards of their investment in their process as illustrated by the staff manual that sibling comment mentions (just finished reading the book - really thought provoking).

There is a new coffee shop in the Digbeth area of Birmingham UK that appears to be family run and independent. I shall keep an eye on how they are going. Already there is a '10% student discount' sign on the window in felt-tipped pen (Birmingham City University have their Steamhouse project nearby).
>it's not too much for a motivated developer

living in a first world state.
I guess it depends, I worked a short bit of time in Berlin (construction project) and among other things I was somehow the "procurement guy" even if my German is far from being good enough (we had a couple interpreters anyway).

I remember distinctly some "queer" conversations with suppliers, we had German engineers and of course approved and compliant to norms projects, in other countries if you called a hardware supplier asking for (say) 1000 hex bolts, 16 mm (M16) diameter, 100 mm long, class 8.8 grade, zinc, nach DIN 931, they would simply state if they had them available and how much they would cost, while in Germany there was always the question "What are you going to use them for?".

They were ( mind you I appreciated it, even if sometimes it was excessive) wanting to make sure that we were asking the "right" product for the intended use, and in many cases (that was waay too many years ago) we had to fax them parts of the projects so that they could make sure before even telling us if they could provide the goods.
Can you explain that last bit please about having children? Is it that some people are motivated to have kids to block out the opportunity to fail in their own projects?

Apple's probably not going to revisit any web idea soon. There's a reason they killed Flash and Java on iOS - both being the most prominent cross platform techs.

I think WASM is still in an early phase, we'll probably have to wait for 2020 for it to catch on. It still needs: GC/direct DOM access, threads, and Javascript module integration, in my opinion: https://webassembly.org/docs/future-features/ Plus, even the MVP is only supported globally by 78% of the browsers out there: https://caniuse.com/#search=webassembly

Thing will get very interesting very quickly once WASM 2.0, basically, is created and it support is around 90%. But before that, it's kind of early to declare victory :)
Some galleries are only open at weekends or Fri-Sat or by appointment. They need to have opening hours to show the world they’re a gallery and their artists also want to feel they are having an actual exhibition.
The rise of the robot farmer
This is a nice benchmark, thanks for doing it, but the point I was making is somewhat orthogonal to this.

Of course there's a performance advantage from using 512 bit registers for a memcpy - but a memcpy is rarely a major performance bottleneck by itself and is usually surrounded by other code. Unless that code is also AVX-512, you've just made it slower by optimizing the memcpy. My point was that a compiler can't usually decide whether it's worth making the optimization in light of the broader context.

The other point was whether using AVX-512 while sticking to xmm registers is faster than just using xmm SSE/AVX code. I don't have an AVX-512 capable machine at the moment, perhaps you'd like to check if your 128 bit version is any faster than just doing "gcc -march=skylake -O2 -mprefer-vector-width=128" (thereby retaining the microarchitecture optimizations, but sticking to AVX2)?

Stolen crypto stats
I think your question is pretty theoretical, and the article explains why: the vast majority of animals are factory farmed. And, as far as I'm aware, it's impossible to satisfy current (and raising) demand any other way.

I don't really know how to answer you. If all animals were free ranging and we only ate the ones that died of old age, we'd probably need so many more animals / land / energy to satisfy current demand that we'd all be dead for an absolute lack of trees.

If you have some chickens in your backyard that you treat well (you may say that's subjective, but I say the bar is so low, let's not quibble here) and you take their eggs? I'm ok with that.
This is a very lame summary of Chomsky's position. Genetics is not at the core at all. The minimalist program and universal grammar are the key search terms for it. The idea was cleverly paraphrased to be rather unspecific.

The term grammar is rather formulaic, but the problem is broader, if language ability is seen as an important factor for intelligence.
Even if it is by now rather dated, the classic about England [0] "strange" things for a foreigner remains "How to be an Alien" by George Mikes, JFYI:

You must understand that when people say ‘England’, they sometimes mean ‘Great Britain’ (England, Scotland and Wales), sometimes ‘the United Kingdom’ (England Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland), sometimes the ‘British Isles’ (England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland) – but never just England.

Apparently in the future an epidemic has killed off all UX designers. The result is that the UIs present all the information and actions in a single glance, and are 10x more powerful than the ones we're accustomed to.
I wonder if that's what someone from the 1980s would say about iOS 12. We consider it intuitive for toddlers to pick up, and even advanced actions (4 finger swipe) and hidden widgets (pull down to refresh) are quick to master.

Maybe these UIs pre-suppose childhood familiarity.

I'm a big-time fan of QL as well, it's just so ridiculously configurable, and the library management is the best I've ever used. It lets you define your tags to the smallest detail, and use every single one of those tags for organizing it. You can do all sorts of highly specific searches and filters, I think even with full regex support.
For some: yes! But for most physics students it's an annoying linux experience that will make them go back to windows which they also get for free from the university.
Is this a valid argument? You're right, consuming meat doesn't have to be related to factory farming. But consuming 220 pounds of meat, as far as I know, does.

I’m concerned with the ability of conventional computers to keep up with cryptography in the quantum age of computation. But can’t we just jack up the current algorithms to have higher order problem sets to solve? In other words can’t we turn something like a SHA-256 into a SHA-2048 and take a hit on the time complexity to generate such cryptographic (in this case a hashing algorithm) products? Can’t we just scale up the problem size and assume that the solution will be exponentially more difficult to solve?

We have years of data from closed device ecosystems where carriers and other gatekeepers decided what devices could do, including restricting TCP/IP connections (hello Blackberry).

If the Apple Watch meets all your use cases, it is the preferred option to reduce sceeen time.

If you need intermittent, short and all-day business critical mobile access to an application or web browser, a small "phone" (mobile computer with radio) is the device which currently supports the most use cases.
You can always disable gatekeeper and run some 3rd party version if you really wanted.
It's not about personal projects. It's just the fear that you will regret not having children when you reach the age when it's no longer possible. It's a shitty kind of motivation btw.
