> I don't mean to "dehumanize" by observing that we are animals, because we really are animals and we really are subject to the same scientific laws as every other animal, including the ecological ones.

Where do decisions and responsibility come in? Is there anything but "war and conquest" that takes many forms? I mean, we evolved from sharing and cooperation as much as any competition. And sociopathy is also as old as history. What makes one thing that's very old more scientific than another that's also very old, why this narrow focus?

As for war being sustainable, that's like saying "I always ate junk food and always will, so nothing bad can happen". Nothing is sustainable, not even peace, but that's not the point. Slavery is also sustainable, does that make it right? Anyone who would say so is free to offer themselves as slave to others, but they could not justify excusing the slavery someone else endures with that.

Just looking at wars of aggressions and the people who push(ed) for them, it's pretty obvious to me that the people involved don't seek power and money because they're so strong, but because they're so weak, as the actual invidual human beings they are. They need more power because to stand still might mean to lose power, and that would mean looking into the mirror and at others, and that would make them implode.

I see naked emperors. Maybe there would still be war or whatever without them, but I see them, and I see what they do. So saying that it's all just human/animal nature that is "subject" to scientific laws that somehow make all of this inevitable, cherry picking "written history" which itself is cherry picked by definition, kinda sounds like "oh yeah, it's a common occurence that sometimes air perturbations make the emperor seem naked to some". They would say that. Maybe you're right, but I won't believe you until we removed the naked emperors from the equation. Fair enough?

For some value of never watched. Usually the way orchestral segments of film scores are recorded is the orchestra is set up in a gigantic sound stage, and the film is projected above and behind the orchestra so that the conductor can see the film as the music is recorded. If the composer is a decent conductor, they usually do.

I can imagine that after days or weeks of that, going to see the finished product in a theater may not appeal.

What's $1/year to a $265bn/year company? Maybe Apple converts a few hundred million of them to iMessage. 0.1% revenue bump in return for devaluing a USP of their product and increased ongoing development and operating costs.

It would just be the same as them selling a 99c app, and the goal would be some of those users for their next phone switching to iPhone. And more high-ground kudos as “the privacy company” which is where their marketing is positioned right now.

Plus I think you overestimate Android users' propensity to hand over even $1

It seems to be a general thing on all platforms, people will pay $1000 for a handset and $5 for a coffee but hesitate to spend 99c on an app.

Which are the current options for capability-based security on Linux?
Apple are good at architecture migrations. They have successfully pulled it off several times.

For App Store apps, Apple can easily add fat binary support for apps with ARM and x86 code in the same package. They control Xcode and can force resubmission of apps for a future version of MacOS.

The thing is, they need to be able to efficiently emulate x86 at current performance levels for regular software while those developers migrate to the new architecture. This might require new ARM instructions or changes to the graphics processors to assist with performance issues.

The end result is that they need to give their hardware and software folk time and allow developers enough time to get their applications ready. I'm guessing 12+ months from when the new tools become available.

Unless they have been working on it for a while, this suggests 2020 models might be capable.

I would also like to speculate that if they add a fabric interconnect to A13/A14 chips, they could have several sockets in each product resulting in massive performance for the high-end pro models with a very flexible power and thermal budget.

A former Google employee has written a survival guide for women: how to succeed
Google has a global SDN (software-defined network) that gives them some unique and beneficial capabilities, like being able to onboard traffic in the closest CDN POP and letting it ride over the Google backbone to the region your systems are running in.

The problem is that running a global SDN like this means if you do something wrong, you can have outages that impact multiple regions simultaneously.

This is why AWS has strict regional isolation and will never create cross-region dependencies (outside of some truly global services like IAM and Route 53 that have sufficient redundancy that they should (hopefully) never go down).

Disclaimer: I work for AWS, but my opinions are my own.
I think if history taught us anything then that the firm belief in absolute truths leads to such atrocities.
Was it easier or harder to find the information you were after back then?
In most of the cases I've seen so far with multiple regions / POP (4 different companies of different sizes and verticals) the software never being deployed in another reason is the fundamental reason. Reasons ranged from "we hard-coded us-east-1 everywhere and don't know how to test region independence it turns out" to "we have 3 weeks to try to make our software distributed between different regions but have nowhere near the resources to test it well let alone develop anything new for it." Automation is completely remedial and non-repeatable in most of these companies that rarely provision clean environments from scratch. By keeping regions the same between different environments, you reduce the number of possible differences.

Some services in AWS are also not available in others (I'm quite familiar with AWS Data Pipeline not being available outside the "core" regions like us-east-1, eu-west-1) and having services in one region make usage of resources in another region is a huge change when most developers outside ones with technology literate customers are under the gun to push features out fast over sound design. The matrix of services and configurations necessary to mix and match regions and availability zones is non-trivial if you make extensive usage of AWS services above the IAAS layer.

Also, cross-region VPC peering has a TON of limitations that rather annoying depending upon how well your network has been architected (by default in most companies outside enterprises with a deep bench of network engineers, this would be rated at "complete crap barely better than a typical home wifi network"). Heck, even though I'm non-dumb at networks I have to keep reminding myself of various cross-region VPC limitations when working with refactoring cross-region VPCs like where you can reference security groups, how to propagate Route 53 records, etc.

The reason they won't do this is because they would't be able to JIT execute in their App Store app, which would make their browser seem unbearably slow.

Von Braun not only succeeded in getting German researchers to USA, but headed a major space program when the need arose. Participation of German rocket specialists in Soviet space projects was more modest - first, the level of expertise wasn't quite the same as in von Braun's team, then they didn't really collaborate with Soviets as information was going only in one direction. At some point Korolev felt that Germans became less useful than their absence - given that Germans didn't have the feedback from their proposals, how it affects the work of Korolev's team. Then the German group's work was done.

So, I don't think von Ardenne - who worked on nuclear projects, not rocketry - or other German participation is as big as what von Braun's team has achieved.

Looks like we are starting to find examples.

I think your intuition is wrong because humans are adapted to what exists naturally so of course there are no naturally occurring adversarial examples. It seems like the same is true for models trained on large natural image sets though.

My point is not wow let’s stop developing neural networks they are perfect. It’s more let’s go collect real world test sets to find and then fix gaps. Adversarial examples actually help very little in making nets more robust in the ways that matter.

A way to charge the spammers?

I only recently discovered WhatsApp spam when a spammer joined by a group invite link. The link had never been published publicly, and yet a spammer joined some 18 months after the group was used (the group related to a moment in time).

If this is the way WhatsApp is going I'd rather less API access for spammers.

Just because you have a bad gene doesn't make you a bad/inferior person so yeah when humans take control over their source code they may put some genes on sleep.

You also forget that there are always trade offs. You can't be "perfect" because there is no such thing.

Back to real world, we all pay taxes and live in this world so I believe we should demand and receive equal opportunities.
I think you're going to have to back up a claim like this with some facts.

GKE being the exception, since it was launched a couple years before EKS. AWS clearly has way more services, and the features are way deeper than GCP.

Just compare virtual machines and managed databases, AWS has about 2-3x more types of VMs (VMs with more than 4TB of RAM, FPGAs, AMD Epyc, etc.), and in databases, more than just MySQL and PostgreSQL. When you start looking at features you get features that you just can't get in GCP, like 16 read-replicas, point in time recovery, backtrack, etc.

> Suppose I invented a new ruler that measured in “abstract ruler units.” To convert from “ruler units” to inches or centimeters, you’d use a separate conversion chart. If I offered such a ruler to a carpenter, they’d smack me in the face with it. It would be absurd to add a layer of abstraction to a tool that gives clear, unambiguous information.

Assuming these ARUs are linear (like every unit of measure for distance), you don't need a chart. You just need a multiplier. In that case, it sounds like this is describing a scale ruler [1] -- and your carpenter probably loves it.

For anyone who ever has to read (or draw) an architectural diagram, they're great! Rather than adding a level of abstraction, they remove one. I'm glad rulers haven't simply "existed in the same form for hundreds of years".

I think iMessage is currently a strong unique selling proposition for iPhone (in the US anyway; no one cares about it elsewhere), and offering it for $1 would reduce the likelihood of switching to iPhone - not increase it.

Apple isn't really in the business of making $1 apps (that I can think of) - just of selling them on behalf of others.
Mark Zuckerberg pressured a Facebook executive to conceal his support of Trump
The problem is not agile, it is an all-alige approach. It is at least in our case. Sprints are feature-focused, which leaves little time for software development craftsmanship: reducing technical debt, updating outdated dependencies etc.

To give some context: We have multiple pieces of software we build and maintain for multiple clients. When a client requests some features, they buy some sprints and we do the work and then it's done. During the life cycle of the software there is a maintenance contract for service and support and resolving bugs. This does not have much room for software craftsmanship either.

This is just where I work,but I can't imagine we are the only one working like this. This is an implementation problem, not an methodical problem.

One of the ultimate causes is that our org is project based, so no project, no work for that client. And the software quality suffers IMHO.

I had this problem too, my "fixes"

- proper sleep
- walk for 30 minutes before my "grind"
- plan my three work items the night before.
- no alerts (mute phone, email, slack, etc)
- grind.

The hardest parts are just not getting interrupted, by internal or external forces.

Sleep and walking help your brain. The list keeps me on task.

It took years to work back to be able to "grind" for just 3h.
Which is why it cannot help but create its own downfall. But before that we will have to end up with that unholy alliance between government and industry called fascism, as that will be the final attempt to extract wealth from a society that has been drained, by tapping directly into taxes collected by the government.

You simply cannot have a system that needs consumers to spend money when its in every single companies best interest to pay as little, preferably nothing, to those whose business and expertise you need to survive. You can expand to other nations as a temporary solution but in the end you will run out of people to sell stuff to.

So we are to believe that the people who thought that multiplexing a single TCP connection over mobile was a good idea, that moving lockstock and barrel to UDP will solve our problems?

Look, its very simple: HTTP is now a file server protocol with a chatty control channel smashed in. However instead of optimising for that we have this.

It basically seems like a massive ego trip: "we can't admit we were wrong about the multiplexing thing, lets just bash out a reliable UDP protocol"

Look, the vast majority of file transfer protocols are TCP for a reason. Loosing chunks of files is annoying, and making a custom protocol over UDP that is both fast start reliable and fast, is actually quite difficult.

Yes, UDP has the advantage that you don't have a connection, and you can just fire stuff at the destination port and it'll magically arrive. however, anyone can do that. How does HTTP3 handle noise? how does it handle spoofing?

Basically, H2 was a regression because it was designed by people who didn't appear to understand real world networks, this seems like a doubling down.

Obviously it's not as simple as in Android where you're already inside a Linux shell under the covers, but there's no technical requirement I've read here that should mandate emulation.

Aside from the above, the syscall layer alone would be much more useful than bundling emulation into the picture that we know is going to perform poorly.

Actually quite well. The fact that it's drag & drop is pretty irrelevant, except in that it's not something the interviewee has likely done before because it's not a very common thing to interrupt.

What's more important is that it's fairly basic usage of UIGestureRecognizer (which is a common thing to need, at least if you're doing any kind of UI development) as well as some basic management of state involving 2 views (the view being dragged, and the destination view it's dropped into).

Well, usually the composer watches with the director first and they talk in detail about what music/feeling the director wants/imagines. I saw a really great documentary about this exact thing recently, Score: A Film Music Documentary (2016), with all-star cast. Shows a lot of composers in the act of writing for (mostly famous) movies, the initial talk-through, recording in the studio, talking about it - many great stories. A lot of John Williams etc.
