Natural innovation within an organization depends entirely on rewards and it's been my experience that having multiple different innovation 'programs' with different life-cycles is a good way to foster an innovation culture. Having multiple different programs also right-sizes the opportunities for different ideas. At the very least it gets people talking to each other which in my experience has always been a prerequisite for innovation.

The downside of innovation programs is that they may be just an ineffective attempt to patch over the strict control policies that idiot managers put into place in order to protect the organization from its problem employees.

I wouldn't be surprised if a company sent it's managers on mandatory vacation for 4 weeks every other month and saw an increase in morale, worker productivity, and meaningful innovation.
The cutoff I've always heard, is if you remember 9/11. (Millenials are a primarily US phenomenon, so that would be a major cultural milestone.)

> If you disagree with that definition, complain to the FSF about their subversion of language instead of me.

Whether you follow the FSF's lead is up to you!

The FSF itself changed the way it talks about these issues. Its "philosophical" writing used to distinguish "semi-free" or "source-available" and "proprietary". They even had a nice diagram showing semi-free as a middle ground.

At some point, they made a rhetorical decision to lump everything east of "free software" together in one "proprietary" pile. I wish I knew why. But the reason couldn't have been precision.
It will be a nice crash. Look at their stock market over the year(s), both HK and Shanghai one.
I would bet the recent drop in the US stock market is related to what is going on there.

Applied machine learning at Facebook: a datacenter infrastructure perspective
China has a pretty big layer of fictitious economics overlaying their real economy.

So the number of defaults is whatever they want them to be, at least in any particular sector. They can control this with the stroke of a few keys and tweaks of policies concerning lending etc..

As long as the real economy reaps real material gains ... and there are no shocks ... then the fiction can continue relatively unabated.

A lot of empty real estate is just fine in a county where more than 300M people still live in the doldrums, meaning, there's some market clearing availability/viability intrinsic to the situation (i.e. 'somebody' will buy the stuff in a panic, even rational speculators, meaning theirs a 'floor' to any panic in that sector, it's not a black hole)

Now if foreign orders for goods falter, that could definitely be a problem.

A real geopolitical calamity ... or something causing disruption to their new infrastructure projects etc. ... could be a problem.

But sans existential crisis there's no reason to panic there's a lot of room for adjustment.

Something to keep an eye on.

EDIT fyi here are countries with whom China has the biggest deficits, i.e. they buy more than import, granted this would exclude major US imports etc. but gives a hint of who is more dependant on China than otherwise:

Taiwan: -US$110.9 billion (country-specific trade deficit in 2017)
South Korea: -$74.7 billion
Australia: -$53.1 billion
Switzerland: -$29.8 billion
Brazil: -$29.4 billion
Japan: -$28.1 billion
Germany: -$25.7 billion
Angola: -$18.1 billion
Saudi Arabia: -$13.4 billion
Malaysia: -$12 billion

So while fewer Chinese buyers of iPhones might not be good, at least the US gets even cheaper stuff of the tons they already buy.

Whereas the Taiwanese will just be bloodied.
what about carfentanil: https://spauldingdecon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/fentan...
A small amount of water causes the burning oil to flare and spread. A large amount of water extinguishes the fire.

Interestingly enough, while we've all been taught "never use water on an oil fire", this is actually pretty similar to real life. Generally speaking, using water on a flammable liquids fire will just spread the fire and make it worse. But if the fire is small enough and the application rate of the water is sufficient, you can sometimes extinguish such a fire with water.

Note: do NOT take this as advice to ever try to extinguish a kitchen fire or something like that with water. When I talk about "application rate" above, I'm thinking of the 100+ gallons per minute you get from a 1-3/4" (or larger) handline from a fire engine. If your frying pan catches on fire, call 911 and then use a class B rated fire extinguisher, or smother the fire by putting a lid on the container. If you have any doubts whatsoever about your ability to extinguish the fire, exit the structure and let the fire department handle it.
Can you please give direct links to Wikipedia instead of that "Wikiwand" service with ads and mixed content warnings? It can disappear in the future and make your links broken.
It seems like a pretty complicated situation. On one hand, I don’t know how exposed the s&p 500 are to China. If their business is China centered then they’re going to see reduced demand. If their business exploits cheap labor and exports out of China elsewhere then they may see their costs diminish. As a general, econs view any deflationary pressure much more gravely than inflation.

I think it’s probably awful for the world economy. The largest companies of the world trade and operate everywhere and their business may well depend on stability in Chinese demand. That could pull the world into a recession. I’m thinking an international finance/banking company could see its assets severely deflate and thus spread the re-evaluation around the globe.
I guess it's all just semantic but by that logic anything is a game. I can make a game from dinner. "who finishes first", "who can balance the most peas on their fork". "how many bites can you eat while balancing your chair on 2 legs" But that doesn't make "dinner" itself a game.

But whatever, people use words the way they use them. For example RPG, based on the logic of how the word is used, has almost meaning. Zelda is often called an RPG but it's got almost zero in common with say FF7 and more in common with Ratchet and Clack. And the word Role Playing Game. Well, by that logic any racing game is an RPG. I'm playing the role of a race car driver. Or FPS, I'm playing the role of a soilder. Or flight sim, I'm playing the role of a pilot. Or God Sim, playing the role of a god. RPG in actual use seems to mean "game about character with sword" at best.

The latest atrocity is "roguelike" which is applied to any game that has randomly generated levels. For example Galax-Z is called "roguelike" even though it's basically Asteroids.

The word "game" people use it interchangeably with anything you can fiddle with interactively on a computer and see some graphics change even though that describes photoshop and ms paint as well.
It didn't appear to work for me until I hit Next and went to Checkout. Right before I entered my credit card, it had the discounted price.
As I understand it, they were talking to someone they believed to be a representative of the factory the whole time. When the story is laid out, after the fact, it's easy to see that someone is being scammed. But the reason scams work is that it's not so easy to see it from the inside. I wonder if you would expect the same, that the owner of an American business personally contact you and cut their own account manager out of the loop at the first problem, if the factory weren't Chinese. Because that's not how it works, there are account managers and explicit points of contact because there's roughly always issues to be ironed out.

I backed this keyboard (received mine months ago!) and have met Jesse and Kaia: they're good people trying to run an honest business. I'm glad I got to back this hardware project on Kickstarter, I didn't "pre-order" anything but rather took a risk on a product and on people who wouldn't have had a chance otherwise.
This is an interesting angle that I've never considered. I know that you likely can't talk about it but how could complying with GRPR expose IP?

No, you're riding a coil gun. But your point stands.

"I didn't read the article, but here's some info I missed." is a bad faith way to engage with the content. They made it quite clear that it's not enough money to kill the company, and started the article by mentioning that keyboards are in stock and ready to order from their website.
The academic effects would be worse than the real effects.

China won't just stop buying stuff from the West, and the stuff they buy isn't quite critical.

You'd see a commodities softening, which would hurt Aussie Canada, but hey, cheap commodities for others is not so bad.

Surely manufactured goods would be cheaper, or won't rise with inflation, again good for Western surpluses.

But the perceived economic shocks would be bad: Wall Street is looking for a reason to sell off right now, given historic highs, ugly multiples, everyone's looking at each other waiting to see who'll hit the panic button first, so some 'big ugly macro news' is enough to stifle things quite substantial. Macro perception is important, much like in 2008 the most important part of the bailouts were not the bailouts, but the signal of the bailouts i.e. implying that 'the Fed + Gov has the back of the US economy' meaning everyone can move forward knowing there will be no domino failure.

By so many accounts China needs to slow down anyhow.

That would arguably mean your machine is fast enough to get 60fps since the browser basically throttles to 60. So a slower machine would show the difference but an even faster machine would still show 60
CBS content is on CBS Access only. Disney is moving their content out of Netflix as they launch Disney+. HBO original content is only HBO only. Same with original content from Amazon, Netflix, and even YouTube Red.

There is a lot of content out there now for almost every demographic on each of these platforms so finding something to watch is rarely a problem. But that doesn’t mean silos aren’t real.

Hollywood movies are available on any rental service. But not all good movies are made/produced by the big studios now. So they remain unavailable unless you subscribe.
I'm not clear what you're asking here. It sounds to me your asking the difference between a table and a chair.

Pattern matching is syntactic sugar for extracting values from a pattern. In a statically typed language the compiler has the option of forcing the user to handle every possible type permutation with a pattern thus ensuring safety.

Polymorphism is just a generic type.

Pretty much. I read the whole article thinking that I have no idea what they are talking about so it's most likely that I'm already doing it.

It does hit home in that I had to introduce and constantly preach about the need to prototype before ramrodding every new feature into production.
Yeah, I understand the mechanics for the way the bubbles form, and how engagement-driven networks can skew their composition.

Say I'm working at NSA and somebody puts a code on my desk, something no one else can break. Maybe I take a shot at it, maybe I break it. And I'm real happy with myself, 'cause I did my job well. But maybe that code was the location of some rebel army in North Africa or the Middle East. Once they have that location, they bomb the village where the rebels are hiding. Fifteen hundred people that I never met, never had no problem with, get killed.

Now the politicians are sayin', "Oh, send in the Marines to secure the area" 'cause they don't give a shit. It won't be their kid over there, gettin' shot. Just like it wasn't them when their number got called, 'cause they were all pullin' a tour in the National Guard.

the divide between silicon valley and washington is that not everyone views the world in adversarial us-versus-them terms. washington needs more bridge building than bomb dropping, physical and cyber.
To expand on a sibling comment, the "this actually maker her more confident..." logic goes roughly like this:

- Jesse and Kaia had considerable difficulty manufacturing and shipping the products this update is about (a keyboard with parts from multiple factories, and additional accessories for it)

- They managed to do it anyway, with a lot of effort on their part.

- It turns out there was actually a person working against them, and not all of the problems they met occured "naturally".

- Without such an antagonist in the future, it should be easier to pull off the same result.
How is the bidding for, and production of, prestige films zero-sum?
i think they're considered two sides of the same coin - exhaustive vs extensible, each with its benefits and tradeoffs. this is known as "The Expression Problem"; what follows is a quick and messy intro.

sum types:

you can easily add new functions that accept your sum type, but adding a new "variant" to the type will require modifying every function you've written to support the new case

polymorphism (interfaces):

you can easily add new types that implement your interface, but if you want to add a new method/function to it, you're going to have to implement it for every type that implements your interface

essentially, we've got two "extensibility dimensions": one for adding new operations, and one for adding new types. sum types are good on the operation axis, interfaces are good on the type axis. (it's an open research question if there's a solution that's good on both.) i hope this makes sense!

as a side note, when discussing this, it's useful to distinguish ad-hoc polymorphism (subclassing, interfaces/typeclasses) and parametric polymorphism (generics) – here, we're talking about the "ad-hoc" variety. I mention this because i saw some confusion about this in a sibling thread but can't reply there.

I think game-theoretically it is best that the self-driving car always prioritizes its passengers. If it has to quickly hack a competitor's car to avoid a dangerous head-on collision, so be it: That market will sort itself out. Let self-driving cars play a tit-for-tat Prisoner's Dilemma strategy. Classic capitalism at work, because right now only rich people can afford a Humvee, and will come out on top when they crash with a second-hand Fiat Panda (even when it is their fault).

A bus with 40 passengers crashed because the driver wanted to avoid a raccoon crossing the road. I don't want my family on that bus, and will pay gladly for something better if I have to. The market will offer me that better option. If it has a customizable setting of "how many strangers to kill, before we kill your family first?" I will set it to "all of them." as I expect others to do so too.

Tasman was actually quite good, too. It was a great deal better than trident in many regards, ranging from the ability to properly handle transparent PNGs to more complete and correct CSS support. IE for Mac was a great browser for years after IE 5/6 had grown long on the tooth. I always wondered why it didn’t get ported to Windows to replace Trident.
This assumes you are in a region Hollywood approves of. And even then often not all languages are available. Some movies even become available much later than in the US for example.

So far piracy is still more convenient and accessible even if I am willing to pay for movies and TV shows. Good thing it's legal in my country.
Check out the movie "The Blue Max". Initially, WW1 pilots were selected from the nobility. The death rate was so high that they ran low on nobility and were forced to recruit pilots from commoners. TBM is about the transition.

The soundtrack is also a favorite of mine. I don't think any other piece of music captures so well what it's like to fly.
Netflix, Amazon and Apple are producing unique content which will ONLY be available on their respective platforms. Go look at the TV space where you can only watch Stranger Things, Black Mirror, 13 Reasons Why etc on Netflix. And they are talking about extending this to movies.

Seems pretty reasonable to me to be alarmist.
I've got one and I like it very much. The camera is great and that's why I got one. I like that it's thin and narrow and fast (at least compared to my nexus 5x). The wireless charger is convenient.

I haven't experienced any of the problems that you mention (though the first thing I did was disable Google Assistant) but things I really do not like about it are: it's very slippery to the point that it would be suicidal not to use a case with it; I prefer the old UI; it's pretty heavy for the size.

There are many excellent hires copies of silent movies run on TV now and then. With colorization, and adding a soundtrack with dubbed dialog, they'd make fine modern movies.

I don't necessarily agree with Rich Hickey, but he put a contrary view very clearly and elegantly in a recent post:

> Open source is a licensing and delivery mechanism, period. It means you get the source for software and the right to use and modify it. All social impositions associated with it, including the idea of 'community-driven-development' are part of a recently-invented mythology with little basis in how things actually work, a mythology that embodies, cult-like, both a lack of support for diversity in the ways things can work and a pervasive sense of communal entitlement.

https://gist.github.com/richhickey/1563cddea1002958f96e7ba95...
You are right assuming the more or less equality between two approaches.

For example, you can encode Just as fJust :: a -> (a -> b) -> b and Nothing as fNothing :: b -> b. fJust receives a computation that accepts argument of Just constructor, while fNothing receives just a value to be returned. Or, alternatively, you can look at the type of maybe function which is pattern matching on Maybe in disguise: maybe :: b -> (a -> b) -> Maybe a -> b.

(I believe this method is called Church encoding)

But when you go from structure of types and patterns to functions, you lose the ability of analysis (of exhaustivity or anything else). You now deal with something that is Turing complete instead of fixed size structure.

And this is delimition of "possible" and "impossible". With the Church encoding analysis of matching completeness is impossible and even writing matchers for lists or trees is nigh to impossible, actually.

For example, they may start integrating technologies for which they have exclusive, or at least 'special' access. Can you imagine if all of a sudden Google apps start performing better than anyone else's?

They've already started. Google Meet (their version of Hangouts for enterprise) didn't work on non-Chrome browsers for a very long time. If you tried to do a video call with a non-Chrome browser, you were told to install Chrome and load the page in Chrome. The only reason they were able to get away with this is because Chrome has the high market share that it does. If they'd done this when Chrome had 10% market-share, the response from users would have been to stop using Google Meet. However, because they did this when Chrome has 70% market share (and climbing) there was hardly any outcry; those who didn't already have Chrome installed gave a resigned sigh and installed Chrome in order to participate in their work meetings.

Currently, all of Google's services work on non-Chrome browsers. But will that always be the case? I can very well imagine a world where Google starts making its services Chrome-only, citing, for example, that only V8 has the necessary Javascript performance to run Google's increasingly bloated webapps with adequate performance.

Like you said, it'll start as a slow drip, with the least popular and most obscure applications (for example: Google Play Music) being moved over first. Then, as users fail to object, they'll move over larger and larger applications. Even if they never make the "big-two" of YouTube and Google Search Chrome-only, they'll still be exerting a fair amount of pressure for users to switch to Chrome.

> its inspiration, the Esrille

Note: there have been several loosely similar keyboards. Both the Esrille folks and the keyboardio folks were inspired by some of the same sources, such as the English Maltron from the 1970s and the Japanese TRON project from the late 80s–early 90s. e.g. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4f/TRON-Key...

(And of course both are directed by human hand anatomy.)

But it is not accurate to claim that the Esrille was a primary inspiration for keyboardio.

There is no “standard” type of keyswitches.
Group identities are the best way to create filter bubbles.

Once you've aligned yourself with a group, you're less likely to be swayed by "outsiders". You'll resist, even if subconsciously, any suggestion which opposes your team's view, because you'll begin to develop an identity around those viewpoints. Few people are well-practiced at challenging their own identities.

Check out this excellent essay by PG, "Keep Your Identity Small", for a better description of this phenomenon: http://paulgraham.com/identity.html
