I've fantacised that back before the web was ubiquitous, radio could serve a similar role. That feeling of pure joy and curiosity exploring beyond the city limits of your hometown. I remember wandering the internet as a young teen. Finding my way into IRC was eye opening (in amazing and terrifying ways). I wonder if having a radio was like the early version of that.

For one, you can't create a hierarchy of UIStackViews and their contents declaratively. But UIStackView also forces you to think in terms of content hugging and compression resistance priorities, which (to me) isn't as natural as widths, heights, or weights.

They're supposed to originate in the Oort cloud. And our star system currently seems to be the only one with an Oort cloud, which seems singularly unlikely. I imagine once we figure out why we can't see any other star's cloud, we'll relax the assertion that all comets are solar-local

I don't doubt that is the expectation, but I think they are underestimating how much we arrange our daily life by the sunlight. While in the summer months the longer day length makes the concept DST working - in a sense the DST time change is a hack that somewhat works, the things get more tough in the winter, where morning brightness is very important. And also in the summer, at least for me, it is an illusion. Because the one hard constraint is, when it gets dark and cool enough to sleep. And here in Germany, that means around midnight, when DST is active. And that of course pushes the rest of my day cycle around in consequence.

I don't disagree but it's a really keen comparison. The Victorian Era has been romanticized pretty heavily but it's close enough in memory for there to be general knowledge about it while being far enough away to seem foreign and allow us to examine it with a more critical eye.

I've honestly had trouble understanding how one would go about defining free will in a way that it could be observed. I can explain how I made my decisions and non-decisions, I know the difference between freedom and duress, but I have yet to see a definition of what free will is meant to mean, and why I am supposed to have it, while dice, my phone, and a plant growing towards the sun are not. It probably also requires a strong definition of consciousness, right?
The US is still actually pretty good to it's citizens by global standards. For example as an American I don't have any worries that the government will come after me if I speak out against it and a politician can't have me thrown in jail without a trial.

But I mean of course as an American I would care more about what the US does because it affects me more. The war on drugs especially is an authoritarian nightmare (and practically had ended up racist) and the war on terror has eroded due process but China has a type of authoritarianism that just isn't the same as the type we have in the US.
This is a subtle version of the Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc fallacy.

Assumption: free will is defined by unpredictability and indeterminacy. (Actually not a given. This is hotly debated, to put it mildly.)

Therefore if a physical system behaves in an intrinsically unpredictable way (quantum systems do...) it is showing evidence of free will.

If you start from the premise that the universe and everything in it is sentient (etc, etc) this makes perfect sense. Of a sort.

But it's not in any way a proof of that premise.

In fact it doesn't even come close to being a proof. All it does is take the long way around proving that constrained unpredictable systems are in fact unpredictable but constrained - something that's proven by Kochen-Sprecker anyway.

Then it pulls the free will rabbit out of the hat and says "Of course! This is just like human free will!"

I'm going to go with "no" on this one.

The irony is that KS is usually taken as a proof that quantum systems aren't just indeterminate, they're essentially partially unknowable. There is no possible one-to-one mapping between states and observables.

If particle free will existed there would either be a tighter constraint on the possible mappings, which would disprove KS, or the free will would be indistinguishable from quantum randomness, which makes it an untestable metaphysical epiphenomenon.

Either way it doesn't add anything to our understanding.

Of course if someone designs an experiment where particles use observables to signal their consciousness to human experimenters, I'll change my mind about that.
and yet, target can mark up their products higher on average than the competitors you named (e.g., http://blogs.marketwatch.com/great-columnist/2012/10/15/reta...). so they really have no market power? why do you think target spends so much on branding?

really understanding a firm's market power and the competitive dynamics of it's market requires a bit more depth than noting that products are similar.

(there are also different forms of market power, but i'll leave that for another day)

> nobody would pay for support

That is really, really not the case. You don't pay for someone holding your hand. You pay for support because you either simply have the resources to do so or your business requires you to pay for the things you use.

If you need help setting up Kubernetes, glusterfs or something else you get help from a third party contractor. That's what we do.

You pay for support because your want someone to keep sending out security patches even if upstream should roll over, and you pay for Red Hat specifically because you want to have an upgrade schedule your business can adhere to (as opposed to when upstream feels like it).

Put another way, you pay for the privilege of having someone to sue.
It's more than just code. A "real" computer lets you do so much by piecing together work from different applications. For example, you can use a text editor like vim to transform a CSV file with powerful tools like regular expressions and shell commands, then load the CSV into your spreadsheet to work on. Yes, you can use the files application on iOS to manage your files but all of the other applications tend to stick to keeping all their files in one place.

On iOS it's very hard to build your own custom workflow with a bunch of applications and other tools, the way you can on a desktop OS.
Maybe the future involves direct brain interfacing between humans via biological interconnects, and a new kind of engineering will evolve, defined not by behavior/functionality in the objective world, but in a realm of shared consciousness that is only subjectively accessible to biological entities that have a similar level of brain evolution.

In fact our own brains probably already work this way, with different parts of the brain acting as loci of lower-level consciousness, but also somehow becoming more than the sum of their semi/sub-conscious parts when acting in concert.

And maybe computers just can't participate in this shared consciousness, even in principle, because they're made out of the wrong 'stuff' along a dimension of reality we don't yet understand (or may never understand).
The Romans and the Greeks wrote endlessly on this topic. Everything Confucius said, too.

Perhaps the only significances of the Victorians was the rise of a middle class and "more" upward mobility. Before it had been "act your class/caste", the one you had been born in, but for the Victorians is was the class you wanted your _children_ to be born in.

But for sure, was an interesting comparison, until the vomit forced into the last line.

I've posted this before, but this game is completely free software (in fact it's in the public domain!): http://onehouronelife.com/

The author does just as you say (and even charges a pretty hefty $20 per copy). Admittedly it's a multi-player game and you can't get access to the main servers without paying, but you can easily run your own server.

I think the reality is that most people are perfectly fine with paying for software if you actually ask for money. The people that won't pay, often won't pay anyway. They only real downside to this is that you can't control competition who may decide to undercut you.

For example: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wereviz.ev...

In this case, the undercutting group have the complete support of the original author (who is uninteresting in building a mobile version). However, there is also nothing stopping someone from competing directly in his target market except that most people are decent. Eventually it is bound to happen, though, if it were popular/lucrative enough.

I think the main thing that the success of Red Hat shows is that you can still build a business with that kind of competition. The key, though, is that your business needs to be better than your competition. If you charge more, then there needs to be some value that drives people to your business rather than your competitors (or just getting it for free). How you find that value is how you build the viable business.

I've found that most business people are uninteresting in this kind of work. They would rather be sales oriented rather than solution oriented. They have a product. Nobody else has that product. They try to make sure you want the product and since they have complete control, they can get you to pay for it. Giving up that control gives up their most powerful tool and transforms their job into something they don't actually want to do.
I think one of the best reasons is because for users that have some experience with the technology want to be able to quickly find the documentation they're interested in. Can this API do X, for instance. And if it can what is required, what is optional and what are the ranges for values.

I don't want to wade through lots of text and other clutter. I'd much rather have a tutorial or training be a different thing I can use when new to the technology.

Sure! Or they could still have DST in the former Mountain zone and not in the former Pacific zone.

US law allows for states to opt in or out of DST. (Also, Indian reservations, because they're treated as quasi-sovereign nations in some ways.) A WST would probably entail WA, OR, and CA opting out with AZ while MT, ID, WY opt in.

I agree we are in a golden age of ham tech but older hams than me (like my friend GI0LZR) talk about days when the radio bands were more open. This is ham speak for sending/receiving more frequent long distance calls. I think we may be in a season of bad radio weather. The Sun usually gets the blame.

I get a buzz out of the low power stuff and don’t see the fun in pumping out signals using 1 or 2kw of power. I have sent and recieved low power messages 6k miles using less than 5w.

Transmitting low power signals, like wspr, using a raspberry pi is great fun. And before anyone mentions it I do run my noisey signals through a low pass filter :-)

Well you're closer to it than I am, but I would think there's no viable business migrating data off a decades old platform. You'd definitely have to find the right niche community to get any business at all.

> I'll take anything as a job now. I can get my own Working Holiday visa. But I've been turned down by farms and construction companies, not only tech companies.

The problem with this approach is that businesses are after specific skills. Except for minimum wage roles, which are going to be awkward for a guy with a degree. Basically, if I was a hiring manager at a restaurant I would assume you would be looking for something better almost immediately.

So assuming you can't get a fast food or farmhand job, you need to be presenting some useful skill.

I had a look at your CV.

- Those logos, what are they? Did you work there? Did you build those sites?

- When I'm looking at SWE CVs, I have about a minute to form an opinion. First, I look for relevant techs. You have some, but the easiest CVs to scan have a block at the top: C++, Kubernetes, Linux, React, JS, and so on. I might not even look at the rest of the CV if I'm looking for a C++ dev and it doesn't stick out immediately, even if it's in there further down. Looking at your CV, there's a bunch of reasonably current techs like TensorFlow, but I only saw that the 3rd time I had a look.

- You did pretty well at your IB, and you did pretty well in your degrees. You were obviously a conscientious student.

- You've got some really interesting skills under your personal interests. Stick them in the skills block.

No reason why someone wouldn't decide to interview you. What happens when you apply to Google/FB/etc?
> They're supposed to originate in the Oort cloud.

Long-period comets are thought to originate in the Oort cloud, short-period comets in the scattered disc or the Kuiper belt, and main-belt comets in the asteroid belt.

> They're supposed to originate in the Oort cloud.

AFAIK, our Oort cloud hasn't been observed, only hypothesized from the behavior of long-period comets.

Given that, it's kind of unsurprising we wouldn't have concrete evidence of extra-solar Oort clouds.

I'm not a radio/antenna expert, so this might be a bit inaccurate.

You want your antenna length to be some fraction of the wavelength, e.g. 1/1, 1/2, 1/4, etc. As the antenna length fraction gets smaller, it will have a less signal and more noise.

Ham radio bands are much lower frequency than wifi, bluetooth, GPS, or cellular. The wavelength is equal to the speed of light divided by the frequency, so lower frequency bands need bigger antennas.

So for example, the wavelength for a 144 Mhz you might use for amateur radio voice is 2 meters, whereas the wavelength of 2.4 Ghz wifi is only 0.12 meters.

The advantage of lower frequencies is they travel farther. AM radio is a lower frequency than FM, so it travels farther than FM.

As someone who would willingly describe themselves as a socialist, this reads like satire, or, if taken seriously, like a poorly thought out high school history paper.

The author does quite a good job lampooning the modern practices of the (often liberal) elite, but fails abysmally to prove that any of these practices are done "to assert one class's moral superiority over another and to justify social inequality." Without that crucial piece of support for the author's thesis, this article fails to provide any meaningful social or moral commentary about the practices of the modern elite.

In fact, one could argue that the lampooning of the modern liberal elite and their practices, such as the author does in this article, is itself done as way of asserting a different class's moral superiority over another - in this case a socialist intelligentsia's superiority over the mainstream liberal elite.
I looked at Zulip vs Mattermost several months ago and, if I recall correctly, this was one of the primary reasons I went with Mattermost.
