A wide gap separates NIH syndrome and a healthy culture of collective code ownership (with the automated testing, shared style guidelines, frequent small commits, and continuous integration that usually go along with it). The situation you're describing sounds closer to the NIH side, but don't throw the baby out with the bathwater the next time someone wants to rewrite someone else's method to improve its readability!
The hack is clearly politically motivated, targeting all but the far-right parties (i.e. AfD is conspicuously missing) and left-leaning public figures. The data is often highly personal, including iCloud dumps, private photos, emails, and messages.

At least within the EU, it is required that hotels record the passport numbers of people who stay with them for potential future law enforcement use. Most countries just require the data be kept on file at the hotel, but a few regularly collect it in some kind of central database.
"No one wants to download apps anymore"
I stopped reading there. The major advantage of the App Store (primarily for consumer apps though) is the fact that there's some kind of filtering at place. If I find a quality app, I want to actually pay for it. In fact, if it's a good app - then I prefer to pay, as it often ensures some kind of continuity in the app's lifecycle.
I mean, most places I've stayed at take a photocopy of the passport, it's kept in case of any police enquiries.

In the mid 90's teams I led wrote code in assembly for things that were very performance intensive, in particular 3D rendering without 3D cards. There was also a need to write in assembly for the PS2, which had a very complicated and idiosyncratic architecture. In both cases you were really desperate for every bit of performance you could get and you didn't necessarily trust compilers to make optimal code. Since then compilers have improved and CPUs are much smarter about predicting what memory they will need.

Also, Microsoft Visual C became good, but it was not before version 4. I remember watching a team at Activision literally take more than an hour to compile their game. Perhaps they were doing something wrong, but similar teams had much less of a problem when 4.0 came out. You cannot imagine what a drag that is to a team's productivity and creativity.

Spying on the Dog (or Cat)
Thanks. I also really appreciate the opportunity to ask questions of a writer whose (very well written) essay one has just read. I have a feeling their patent application will be blocked because the process was not COMPASS’s to begin with. It seems that third parry experts in your article provided them with this knowledge - and it would be abuse of the patent system for them to claim property rights over something not theirs. It’s a bit like inviting yourself round to a neighbour’s barbecue and then filing for property rights over their garden. Well I hope that’s the case!

It was the niche of niches but the Nokia n900's standard built in xmpp client could do voice/video/filetransfer with a gnome desktop's standard messaging infrastructure (telepathy or something?) in what, like 2010 ?

But, besides that, I get what you're saying about "normal" messengers and conversations nowadays.

> This is wishful thinking with no logical argument behind it.

1. A web app developed using WebAssembly offers performance indistinguishable from that of a native app.

2. Since the web app offers native performance, there's practically no need for a native app to exist in the first place. Why should developers waste their time developing for multiple platforms when a single mobile app works flawlessly?

3. This is great for users because the app is highly performant, universally accessible, and doesn't require installation.
"That's the only motivation" is a strong claim.

I ain't saying that deep learning is unrelated to tensor algebra. E.g. low-rank approximation of matrix can be reformulated as a tensor problem. Apparently, the following discussion in CrossValidated suggests that some deep learning researchers do try to do something clever using true tensors:

https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/198061/why-the-sud...

But my point is that the current "tensor" nomenclature in deep learning software has little to do with tensors in physics or mathematics. The name is just confusing if not misleading.
My guess is that it's rare. Hell, I didn't even know I could do it until I was developing a PWA. I've never seen a website that offers it.

It would be very nice if phones put that feature front-and-center. My guess is that they sideline it so the web can't compete with their native apps.

Is it a matter of UI? I find it interesting that the "web app with native UI" model never took on. There were a few tries (e.g. XUL), and now Expo seems to be a version of that for RN (though focused on testing), yet for various - seemingly circumstantial - reasons it never became a fully fledged alternative to browser apps and installed apps.
> However, that would be the worst thing I could do for society, because I would be removing that resource (whether it has intrinsic value or not, it is still a resource) from society.

I think the author would say that the pile of money under your mattress is not a resource, but rather just a pile of tokens that represent an ability to acquire resources in the future. If the author's view is correct then keeping it tucked away under your mattress has no net positive or negative effect: it just sits there. The exchanging of valuable resources that produced the tokens happened sometime in the past.
So why are you making a sweeping claim about all US drivers tests, given that you only took one of them? The one you took was clearly bad. The process I went through in Maryland is apparently one of the tougher ones. 30 classroom hours, 6 hours one-on-one with an instructor, 50 hours daytime driving with an older licensed driver, 10 hours nighttime driving, and then you can take the written and driving tests (which require you to parallel park). After that you can drive on your own but still can't have any non-adult passengers and can't drive past midnight or your license is suspended for a year. After 18 months of driving with no moving violations and no other criminal convictions, you finally get a real driver's license. The whole process takes a couple of years.

Apple, too, though. Apple needs to show via their hardware choices that they're still committed to developers and other pros, and Microsoft needs to keep cleaning up Windows.

No, it's not; USB 3.1 adds the new SuperSpeed+ mode over all supported connector types (and USB 3.2 adds two additional SuperSpeed+ modes for Type-C connectors.)

USB Type-C connector spec is a separate spec issued after USB 3.1, USB 3.1 isn't USB 3.0 over Type-C connectors.

This isn't the OP's point. The point is there is more friction to download new apps today so coming out with a new native experience is going to much harder to do in today's world. It doesn't mean that this is the long term strategy.

> I personally suspect it has a lot to do with waking up a service worker outside of the browser lifecycle - given how aggressively iOS monitors apps no longer running in foreground I can imagine that being quite a hurdle to overcome (without compromising the reason for doing it in the first place).

I don't think this is true. Please correct me if I am wrong but there are ways to handle the scenario. Apple could create nsfirebase (basically an Apple version of Firebase for lack of a better name) and require all websites to talk to nsfirebase and the iOS device only needs to reach out to that particular end point on nsfirebase which minimizes battery loss. In addition, it could say something like your worker can only run in the background if a user has been to your site in the last n hours (where n is something Apple can monitor and update with any iOS release).
Using email as a notification service works in this case. The user probably gets a notification for new emails.. at least if they do they chose to. :)

After working on the same task ~3 years back I will say: Be skeptical about results. Neural activity shifts over the course of days, and experiments without long term recordings will produce results which look a lot better than what can be obtained in realistic scenarios. As the article also mentions, there is a sizable question about the differences in signals when vocalization is not possible. I've seen some of that data, and in my opinion we're still a good whiles away from being able to use that data in any practical sense.

The difference between computer products and make-up products is that computer products are aimed at people who think they are too smart to be sold anything they don't really want, so the advertisement must be subtle.

But that's it. Marketing products means advertising them to consumers. There's no gettting around that, no matter what the product is.
The whole article is a defence of the principle of actual hoarding as opposed to investment though, hence the author's expression of concern that spending the money might generate inflation, their focus on intertemporal arbitrage with assets rather than lending, and their contention that taking an asset out of circulation and profiting from its future price fall represents a tangible "time-shifting" service performed on the asset. Those who have read more mainstream economics and less Austrian economics would argue that any value generated (as opposed to rent extracted) comes not from what is withdrawn from circulation but from the advance of cash to the grain vendors who might be able to make better use of it than they could the unsold grain: the time value of money comes from allowing money to circulate towards those willing to invest in productive activity, not from withdrawing it from circulation. A corollary of the emphasis on circulation of money rather than withdrawal of goods is that whilst buying a yacht might be far from the best thing you could do for the Congoese people, creating a whole load of boatbuilding jobs (which in turn sees more goods spending and more production to meet increased spending) is likely still better for Congoese economic development than keeping the money you'd received from trading in their economy under your bed.

"The point is, money spent on consumption is toxic — value-destroying"

This is something I've been thinking about a lot recently. Surely when comparing inequality in societies, what we really care about is consumption. Singling out billionaires as an example of how unequal our society, I feel, is disingenuous. How much more does Bill Gates really consume than your 'average Joe'? Sure, he presumably eats good food, wears better clothing and has a big house, but his personal consumption levels are probably no more than an order of magnitude greater than ours.

What separates him then from us, considering he has a paper net worth many orders of magnitude greater than us? Well, mainly that wealth grants him an outsize influence on the economy. By virtue of his wealth and participation in the stock market he has access to some very big 'levers'. He can dictate what a large portion of the workforce choose to pursue as 'productive economic output'. He is, by means of increasing his net worth, incentivised to make prudent decisions in this regard. High performing participants in the stock market gain more influence in it. This is an optimising feedback loop for the economy and is less fair (but more effective) than simply giving everyone an equal say in the matter.

Is this a problem? Maybe. But does it really make our society more unequal? I would argue 'not as much as you might think'.
