Niemanlab seem a bit confused here.

People have _always_ been in self-created filter bubbles - its called Confirmation Bias.

The concern with Google and Facebook and YouTube is that they are now re-inforcing that confirmation bias even more.

NiemanLab cite a few studies here but them seem to be focusing on Google Search Results whereas things like Facebook Walls and the way YouTube recommends 'extreme' points of view on any given topic are also of concern.

Essentially a huge part of the internet is now optimising for clicks, which means targeted clickbait and sensationalism will always crowd out reasoned argument.

They could have instead said : Confluent Community license is not a FOSS licence, but tries to provide many of the rights afforded in FOSS licenses.

That would have cleared up the status in a jiffy, and people would have made their decision to use or not use. But the intention seems to be to have their cake, and eat it too.
If you are working for an established consultancy and selling for example a marketing project to a large incumbent I don't really think there is obvious place to sell you services using the term "startup".
I thought supplements were generally considered a scam, as our bodies won't/can't absorb vitamins in that form, we need to absorb them from food or sunlight.
Lets start with plastics and tires or what about Solar Turbines and solar cells who also use oil for some of it's parts. And then there is obviously the production of them which also requires oil/oilbased products.

Then when it comes to weather. Oil works whether sun or wind. Oil is in most of the products around you. Oil is used for all sorts of motoric vehicles especially those that require a lot of muscle.

I am all for replacing those things with electric circuits and infrastructure but let's not claim that fossil fuel is so easily replaced. It's not.

The article is OK... but there's so much underestimating and so many innovations left down...

The article can just be so much better...
it's mainly correct but it also feels a lot like the writer personal opinion
Without many factors that would have simplified and made the article so much better...

basic factors such as impact on the world/...

Wont we all agree that data maps are much less important then the tcp internet by a factor of lets say 500 (personal opinion.)

maps are a great thing but without them we'd have another system

Without the classical internet protocols who knows how the internet would've looked today

it would've been just a network of computers not "THE" internet as we know it...

We can't imagine how would it be probably very different maybe it'd evolve the same -we don't know

But the fact it that the www boosted human development with all other innovations software and not software

Could you imagine a world without big data/...?

Could you imagine a world without the internet?!

You probably can but could you imagine our modern 2018 world without the internet/....?

and that's just a shitty example... your article just compares world changing innovations to so new "original" bullshit innovations that might be nice but are nothing that even comes close to anything else...

and i chose these examples with a lot of consideration... u must all understand what a difference that is..

Without trees or big data we would have a pretty limited world with no such things as machine learning and such...

Without the turing machine "data structure"

I'll let you imagine how our world could be.....

Yep, roughly speaking you can't compete on speed with your own rendering engine because you cannot do Just In Time style memory optimizations in the iOS sandbox.

Only Apple can ship that type of code, so any browser from the App Store competes on features with Safari, not on memory/speed etc.
> Currently, all of Google's services work on non-Chrome browsers.

Google Earth is Chrome-only, because they use the Chrome-only NativeClient.

Google Hangouts dropped calling support on non-Chrome browsers for quite a while: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15889018

YouTube (and perhaps GMail) is extra slow on non-Chrome browsers because they use a dropped-and-never-standardised feature that is available only on Chrome, and force a slow polyfill on Firefox (and perhaps Edge): https://twitter.com/cpeterso/status/1021626510296285185

That retinoids (Vitamin A-like) work (be it isotrotinoine or topical creams) don't have to mean that a vitamin deficiency is the cause. Vitamin A and retinoids have very specific effects on skin.

To play the devil's advocate: Shenzhen opened a metro/subway not before 2004 (being only the 8th city in China with a subway). And looking at the system map, it has as much stops as an average 500k inhabitants city in Germany. That's embarrassing for a city with a population of 12M.

Building subways is orders of magnitudes more expensive than running bus lines, even if they are electric. But it's an old standing answer to still thrilling problems of urban traffic...
The family offices I've worked with do pretty much everything. Part of the reason to do everything is that you have the freedom to do so. I literally called a friend on behalf of another friend to get him a bridge loan for a house once.

A free mandate makes for more interesting work, plus as the manager you can stick things in illiquids that have no mark-to-market. That's the uncharitable view, of course. The charitable view is that you are better at evaluating opportunities and are able to do things other institutions are not.

Main thing about FOs is they are just the article says, totally idiosyncratic. One FO I know is basically just a wily old guy who does all his business by phone, meets people to look them in the eye, that type of thing. Made a lot on crypto.

Another FO is basically a hedge fund. Bunch of different desks doing various things, a lot of focus on regulatory approval (that's still a thing, not sure why the article makes it look like there's no hurdles).
Well, that depends: what you see as left of center media might actually be rather centrist along some axes. To be frothing at the mouth in rage at tariffs identifies you as a globalist thinker of some 'neo' persuasion: neocon, or neoliberal. Either way, though you may disagree sharply on social issues you've got a shared committment to frictionless commerce over national boundaries in the belief that this will cause all the world to prosper (by all the world, you might mean 'the richest individuals and companies in any given country')

So, if that's your agenda, you (a) will hate tariffs whether they're proposed by Trump or a socialist like Bernie Sanders, and (b) you'll see to it that things are framed with the perspective that NO PERSON could possibly doubt the evilness of tariffs and the benevolence of maximally frictionless global trade.

You might even insist that nobody is actually trapped in a filter bubble about it, as there is no possibility that anyone can have an intelligent thought that DOESN'T embrace ultimately free trade. This position automatically forbids thinking about externalities or epiphenomena that arise from this embracing of trade across the widest possible market.

Hell, even the idea of 'market' is a filter bubble. Certainly the phrase 'Trump is unfairly maligned' used for any reason, is a filter bubble. I myself have to resist the tendency to react negatively just because of the association with the man, and would instead say: nah, he is fairly maligned because he's not approaching an 'anti-globalist' position for any constructive reason. In no way is he addressing the underlying mechanisms of the problem, he's just throwing sand in the gears. If it's a mechanism causing catastrophic damage, that alone might seem good, but we're gonna need better answers than just breaking stuff.

I would prefer to see something like unionization or communism break the ability to conduct labor arbitrage (not as an ultimate final goal, but as a counter-force to capital's ability to have things all its own way), but I do not think that's what Trump is up to. If he was, I'd say he was unfairly maligned too. Since he's not, I consider him fairly maligned .
I've quit smoking involuntarily thanks to vaping: A friend told me to try vaping since he thought I might enjoy the 'manual part' (wrapping coils, mixing liquids).

After 2 weeks of vaping I wanted to smoke a cig again. It tasted so awful that I instantly stopped smoking cigarettes and continued vaping (I still never intended to stop consuming nicotine, but the positive effects of not smoking were showing pretty immediately)

My coils drifted into the subohm range pretty fast, mechmods and 100W+ boxes was what I needed to produce cubic meters of vape. But upping the volume of vaped liquid allowed me to reduce the relative nicotine contents (improving the taste of the liquid further) up to the point where I started asking myself whom for I'm consuming nicotine.

Stopping to vape was pretty easy at that point.

Never looked back.

I have a similar reaction to excessively binging on greasy (also high sugar) foods like pizza.

A solution I found that almost always prevents the greasy food acne effect, is l-lysine. I'll take ~1,000mg or so if I eg eat a bunch of pizza. No idea why it works exactly, there's speculation that it aids the skin's defense against acne. Another option that also works but is more potent, is a low dose of vitamin A, which reduces oil production for some people.

its not clear how increased plasticity is beneficial though (these experiments are mainly aiming to erase memories, like PTSD memories)

Renting DVDs costs about one or two Euros per DVD and they have to have physical stores and employees and can only rent a movie to one person at a time. The cost of streaming a movie to a customer is close to zero. I think it's reasonable to expect being able to stream a movie for at most one Euro. I don't watch a movie every day, so ten to twenty Euros a month sounds realistic.

Credit specialist
My name is Gregory and one of my daughters was very sick. I needed to get a loan for her operation but I couldn’t get a loan because I had an eviction and lots of late payments. We wanted to buy a house but couldn’t afford to buy a house because I had an eviction and lots of late payments. I have a permanent job so I needed to fix my credit to have my life back. The agent that was supposed to help me purchase the house introduced me to a trusted credit specialist that has help thousands of Americans repair their credit. After reading his proposal, we got started with the process. After 8 business days, he removed all bad items including the eviction and the late payments and raised my score to 793. I got the loan for my daughters operation and we eventually bought a house. Here is his contact; CREDITSPECIALIST4@GMAIL.COM, +1 912 388 3132, you can reach him and have him help you too.

Lets be realistic here. Mozilla is doing very good things for privacy and free software and it has arguably much bigger impact than GNU. The problem with real world is that change is gradular and things are about compromises.

People will not start suddenly compile their own browser or dig github for browser they never heard of.

They use Google and Gmail. Firefox surely knows that 70% of people will be pissed right there if google is not default browser so they atleast get money from google for it. It's compromise.

They need money to compete with mainstream browsers and they have to make smart decisions about which compromise to make.

Signal is getting similar shit for using google services for messaging. But it makes e2e encryption mainstream.
It doesn't sound very plausible to grow such sturdy and tall structure only for a fruiting body, so you can drop your spores from a bit higher. But a tree-like structure feels plausible, it they were in symbiosis with algae (which would make them lichens, technically) and they did photosynthesis.

Critique of implicits in OCaml
Good question. The second law of thermodynamics dictates a theoretical maximum of 3.4 x 10^20 (irreversible) operations per joule (at 300 K or room temperature). I think there is an exemplary work which answers your question. In 1994, Len Adleman (the A in RSA) wrote a Science paper[0] where he used DNA to solve a directed Hamiltonian path problem. In that work, he calculated that in principle 1 joule is sufficient for ~2 x 10^19 operations using DNA. This number is remarkable in that it is extremely close to the theoretical maximum. Existing supercomputers (at the time the paper was written) execute at most 10^9 operations per joule. He goes on to say that "the energy consumed during other parts of the molecular computation, such as oligonucleotide synthesis and PCR, should also be small in comparison to that consumed by current supercomputers".

I'm not so sure if he could easily liquidate larger block of stocks without affecting price/panic much. Maybe in long period of time by periodically selling minor amounts. Amazon is Jeff and Jeff is Amazon, I wonder what would happen and how markets would react if he disclosed even slightest hint of his exit intentions. Also fan of humans conquering space though, and would definitely love to see that happen.
I'm always very skeptical of people who make these kind of claims about psychedelics. One of the effects of psychedelic drugs is that they make people see things as significant or important even where there is nothing significant to be found (in the same way that drugs like MDMA increase mood, even when none of the normal mood-increasing things are present in the environment).

This is fine, and can be useful so long as you keep it in mind. But also leads to some users of psychedelics who believe in all sorts of crackpot theories that they think they have discovered through something that seems akin to divine revelation, and are so utterly convinced of their truth that it goes beyond all reason.

Design Thinking doesn't "work" it works for those who sell it sure. But for everyone else its all based on whether the people who have the power in the organizations understands the value and is able to formulate that into useful tasks.

One of the biggest differences between a person like Jack Dorsey who really do understand the value of design and is able to formulate at the C Level and then someone like McKinzey who might just claim they are (or parts of them are) design led but don't really mean it because they don't really understand it is the ability to use sesign as a strategic parameter.

Design Thinking doesn't solve the fundamental issue which is transcendence between analysis and outcome. Someone have to be able to take the insights and turn them into something of value. The analysis is not the value in itself.

Or put another way what Design Thinking doesn't solve is transcendence between idea and execution.

So don't buy the BS and I say that as someone who consult companies on how to use design and design thinking strategically.

That does sound a lot more like something I would use. Do the Brave folks get a cut of that money or is it completely peer-to-peer using a cryptocurrency network? If it's the latter what's Brave's business model, they just have a whole bunch of BAT and bet on them gaining value through adoption and deflation?

Making it easier and faster to transfer small amounts of money online is definitely something that needs improving but unfortunately so far cryptocurrency-based solution haven't really managed to solve the problem, mainly because speculation makes them a pretty terrible currency. That's a tough problem to solve.

I think the CPU load is just inherent to the type of program it is. It's running a fluid dynamics simulation, a thermal dynamics simulation, Newtonian gravity simulation, and discrete particle simulation all at once. If you made all that in 3D, you would have made an incredibly amazing game engine that no computer could possibly run.
