Yes, but I suspect it’s a European truth.

There is a fundamental difference between America and Europe, in that Americans distrust their government but trust corporations and the free market. Europe is the exact opposite.

You can agree or disagree our world view, but that doesn’t change the fact that in average, more than 70% of Europeans trust the EU to have their best interests in mind, mich higher for GDPR.

I don’t think it’s really start-up hostile either. I think there is a huge potential for disruption for privacy centric companies.

I've been doing Scala full-time for several years, so as far as I can see it's taken off pretty well. I can't really claim it has a welcoming community though (though many of the most unpleasant people are those who've apparently quit the language, but still hang around and hassle people).
Yes, there is no proper definition of consciousness. All the "definitions" I've heard so far either don't allow you to distinguish what a rock does from what a human brain does, or they're not compatible with our understanding of physics, or both.

> Anyone bashing the GDPR for being too hostile towards startups and smaller businesses should read this. Looks like the fine was almost a bit too low in this case...

You make it seem like that's supposed to be assuring? Essentially, small companies and startups are left to the whims of bunch of bureaucrats.

The fact that they have to make the fine "almost a bit too low" just shows you what a terrible thing GDPR is.
couldn't you have made this exact argument 30 years ago about operating systems for computers?
Sure. Western countries are all good and pure.
I have been using F# for data science, developing algorithms (where ML truly shines) and most of my scripting needs for 3 years now (it is not my main language as, these days, I need to instrument some C++).

As remify said F# came from Ocaml : it lacks modules, GADT and other thing but you can easily translate most Ocaml to F#. For me the syntax was a net win.

The thing I miss is the Graphics module of Ocaml's std. I used to build quick visualizations with it and I have not found a good F# equivalent that would run flawlessly on Linux (the relevant section of mono's std was very buggy the last time I tried using it).
The article took a long time to get to the point. The idea is that desiccation, if done badly can result in more glyphosate ending up in the grain. There is an idea floating around that glyphosate can affect gut bacteria in humans. No one has tested that so it might be a good idea to do some research.
> What's your hourly rate?

This is not how I think about my job. Rather, the university pays me a salary, and expects me to engage in "scholarship" and "professional service" -- and I get to decide where I think I can make the biggest contributions.

This luxury is not available to everyone. Universities are hiring more and more non-tenure-track instructors, at lower rates of pay, with less job security, with higher teaching loads, and (usually) without any research expectations. In the future, we might be obliged to think about our jobs in more transactional terms.

But for now, I have the luxury of not having to think very much about questions like yours.

I'm curious as to the list of apps that you guys recommend for day to day work on an iPad - as of the latest release of the Pros I've noticed a lot of people referring to them as potential desktop replacements but in my personal opinion they seem a little bit restricted to replace my desktop.

> A boost in one area tends to cause problems in other areas.

Some problem areas are no longer as such because today's environment is much better at compensating for them than the environment that we actually evolved-for.

Energy efficiency comes to mind prominently: we've never been better at producing human-consumable energy in our entire history, yet we can't actually use the stuff because our bodies still interact with energy much like children-of-the-Depression interact with money.

Also more generally. See Road users requiring extra care, Pedestrians (205 to 210).

The onus is on both to take adequate care, and on drivers to stop in time. The presumption of fault is on the driver. Which is not the same as saying pedestrians have free reign to leap into the path of oncoming vehicles, anywhere they like, expecting traffic to stop on a sixpence. Even though that sometimes seems the done thing in London. After all, pedestrians are expected to only cross when it's safe to do so.

Not the "government" the political unit, but the legal system: courts and regulatory bodies.

Turn this statement around. Would you say that no matter what it does, no matter how many crimes are committed or citizens harmed, a business should be able to carry on without interference? That companies should be superior to people - entirely above the law?

(It's not a very big harm in this case, but I don't see anyone arguing that e.g. companies should be able to dump unlimited amounts of toxic waste into rivers any more)
I agree that innovation is good and cryptocurrency is innovative. Jack Rasmus (economist) wrote a great book "Looting Greece" of which I read the first 10%. Rasmus argues that Greece has been subjected by the EU to financial imperialism and colonial-like wealth extraction. In essence it has been conquered. I don't see how cryptocurrency is useful in preventing a group of elites from conquering another. In practice, it only changes who the elites are.

Github does not own git, it only owns the UI that they've built on top of it. You can simply clone the repo and take it somewhere else and you can find an open source UI replacement to put on top too (e.g. Gitlab).

Github is free to use for open source projects, self-hosting by the government would only make it more expensive for the tax payer.

The price is a little high, sadly. I don't blame them, it can't be that cheap to design and produce, and it really is what I would like to see as a desktop option.

I think long-term, I would still bet on India over China. Not only does China have an impending demographic crunch, India is a democracy with an enormous English-speaking population and friendlier ties to the West. Look at the Indian space program for some really inspiring examples of doing fantastic things on a (relative) shoestring budget.

Assuming they aren't completely done in by climate change, I wouldn't be surprised if India became the dominant power in the second half of the 21st century.

Yes and there is a converse problem, the seller ships the item but the customer having received the item fraudulently requests chargeback - this is common, sadly.

I lose the item, the money and a fee - bitcoin, like cash solves the fraudulent chargeback problem - but the buyer is unprotected.

Trusted Escrow solves both problems.

The chargeback system isn't good for small retailers. The banks have no incentive to check the system or secure the card as the onus is on the merchant.

> This is a problem with Slack, not with Linux.

This the attitude I always get and it stinks. I have sitting on my desk at home an Amiga 1200 (released in 1994). I can download a lha archive with a program in it, extract it and run it. Amiga OS was cutting edge in 1987ish. I still can't do that with a popular flavour of Linux like ubuntu.

I don't think it is unreasonable to expect to be able to download a package from the internet that is marked as "Ubuntu 18.04", use the package manager to install it and for it to work properly.

There is also about 3 or 4 different methods (that are somewhat official) to install applications. Which is crazy.

This problem only exists on Linux.

> Plasma, the desktop I recommended for end-users, has solved these problems. Years ago.

Good for you. Not everyone is running the same setup.

I still have some usage hangups on Windows since the Windows 2000 days and I have a lot of problems with newer versions of windows because I just get confused with the interface. It isn't that uncommon tbh. In the end I've learnt enough powershell now it not an issue for me.

For a developer such as myself it is easier to just install WSL, run a VM or use something like vagrant or Docker and just put up with the odd annoyances that Windows 10 presents you with.

Compile speeds are a problem of the past. When you use Scala 2.12+ together with incremental compilation with modern Zinc-based compile server, compiling Scala after each change takes a low few seconds. Sometimes less than a second. And Dotty (Scala 3) shall improve compile times even further.
Ah, looks like someone formatted the IBM entries incorrectly, at least unlike all the AMD and Intel entries I could find.

Usually the description has a CPU entry something like "Intel Xeon Gold 6148". The IBM entries have things like "3.4 - 3.8 GHz, 40 core, SLES". So if you search any of the lists for "power9" you don't find anything.

That it’s ok to shoot a security guard -without warning- because he is sitting on the back of a mass shooter with his gun pointed at him and since all he needed to do was slightly aim the gun upwards to shoot at the cops and cops aren’t paid to take risks to save innocent lives.

Depends on how risky it is. CRISPR is pretty messy in a "don't do it to anything you can't afford to lose" way from what I heard given outright deaths in subjects from peripheral damage. Fine with plants or livestock but a damn good reason not to apply it to humans cavalierly.

It is probably preferable to certain severe genetic issues but that should rightfully give pause.
A bit of thought about what it means to "run" gives you the answer here: in order for the code to run, it has to be scheduled at some point. That means it has to be in the operating system's task list somewhere.

Having said that, there are places you can put running code that get scheduled but don't appear in an obvious way: inside other processes, as device drivers, as code on peripherals (GPU etc), or on the notorious management engine. Variations of these methods are used by viruses and exploits: the core of any exploit is getting code to run inside some other program that did not originally contain it.

The final place is to put it "outside" the operating system as a hypervisor, then run the "normal" operating system as a seamless virtual machine inside the hypervisor.

but use "has" and "is" instead of "would have".

It’s inevitable when one party has more power than the other. There are 3 options, either the powerful party can be charitable and give things away, or it can do business such as loaning money, or it can take what it wants by force. It’s human to want to stay in control and gain more control so the second and third options are most likely.
> nothing I've read has proposed any mechanism whereby it could evolve

If quantum effects are at play in the evolutionary environment, then that is the mechanism. It seems pretty self-evident IMHO.

Some random adaptation introduces a sensitivity that allows that mutation to prosper and reproduce.

It's very easy to say that because you can't perceive quantum effects at the level of your personal experience, that their effect on selection is negligible, but this is a mistake a lot of anti-evolutionists take .. but over the course of millions or billions of years such effects could be highly significant.
Lets list them by assuming that I want to buy a legal product or service:

* When it is cultural and social taboo.

* When the act can be pulled out of context.

* When it can become a false positive for correlation in police investigation.

* When it can be abused in order to influence and apply pressure, by example advertisers, politics or different sides in a court.

* When it can harm a third party, like a dependent.

* when it can give unfair market power to those who know more about you than competitor with better product or service.

All of those have some grey zones and illegal areas but for most it is up to the consumer to be aware. So long the legal system demand that the individual take responsibility for personal information, and the legal investigation system has false positives, and the court and political voting system depend on asymmetrical information, and influences like advertisement is legal, and we have cultural and social taboos for legal behavior, well then we have a legal and moral problem that a decentralized currency could help to solve.

The mongol conquest of china?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongol_conquest_of_China

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuan_dynasty

> I think through history China always have been a superpower (with some short exceptions).

China has never been a superpower. They were always a regional power. There has only been 1 real superpower in human history ( the United States ). The next closest empires to the title of superpower are the mongols, british, soviets, etc, but they never dominated the globe the way the United States has. But as with everything, I guess it all depends on how you define the term.

Also, "china" as we know it today is a relatively recent phenomenon stemming from mongol china ( aka yuan dynasty ). Before then, it was series of dynasties constantly shifting borders. The borders that modern china ( and taiwan ) claim goes back to the yuan dynasty. Even the capital of china is beijing because the mongols made it the capital of china.
Annoyingly yes. We know the theory can't be exactly true, just like we know quantum mechanics can't be, but this always happens when we test them.

As much as it'd be great to make a theory of everything, we need something to work off. Right now the physicists are honestly just spinning their wheels.
