Those are straw-men against a conceptual example intended to show that a trade-off is possible. All the problems you rise have solutions in a practical system, you could issue the key to an international organization such as the INTERPOL, treaties could be set-up beforehand so only lawful use of the field is permitted, key revocation is a thing etc.

Or you could move away from a centralised governance altogether and have a stake voting system where the actual users decide to de-annonimize a particularly user. Or we can imagine a weak form of privacy where cooperation among your trading partners can reveal more and more information, a al e-cash with blind signatures, where a double spend reveals your identity.

In short, the question is if "absolutely private money transfers" are something we need and want, not if there are technical ways to gradually weaken privacy in a socially controlled fashion.

That’s just you projecting your impression of agency onto a puppet, based on prior observation of actual animals.

But make no mistake. It is a puppet. It’s a multicore processing circuit with stack pointers, instruction pointers and little else going for it.

It’s your laptop strapped to some motors. It’s not sentient, and has no agency. It’s a guided missile at best. A step above cruise control.

It lacks authority to define where it goes or form a need for continuing to stand. Thus it lacks true agency.

We can ascribe happy/sad to stand/fall, as crude, fundamental binary “emotions” but robots like BigDog are less complicated than amoeboid life found in pond scum.

Consider whether traffic lights are happy or sad, based on whether traffic obeys their signalling. Now consider traffic cameras. Now consider whether an automated ticket for running a red light on camera is an expression of emotion.
I initially mistook your first comment for defending a broken system (don't know how I could have done that), but this is just beautifully cynical. I buy your reasoning, and the state of things is actually quite tragic.

Most people who understand how this works will think "okay, so this is broken, but how can I profit from this?" rather than focus their energies on how the system can be fixed. The former is much easier to accomplish.

Although I think it's not a big issue, I'd look into Vue instead of React. Imo it's simpler and give you a more complete solution out of the box (routing, reactive data layer).

Now, I've barely tested Django, but I would not go the python way unless you have a good (other) reason. Rails seems to have a much more developed web development community. Node might be a great choice due to you being able to use the same language (and libraries), but I'm a little bit disappointed by the ecosystem. The libraries and frameworks that exist does not seem as mature (and high quality) as in other ecosystems.

For backend, my experience with C# ASP.NET Core has been great. Visual Studio is great. C# is a really nice language to work with, and have quite mature and well-backed Lucy ecosystem. All in all it's pretty equal to Rails though.

I'd also recommend looking into Azure DevOps (or Gitlab) for a nice, full experience for DevOps.
Daniel Dennet would phrase it as "people don't design boats, the ocean designs boats". Our technology doesn't just serve our requirements, it is also built to satisfy the inherent requirements of our physical world. However as our world becomes more filled with technology, the requirements start being altered by other technologies we would like to keep around. In this sense technology evolves and is selected in ways very similar to life itself.

If you want to be fast and flexible:

Frontend: Vue.js on top of Nuxt.js (reactive web programming cannot be easier than this and you get SSR or SPA or PWA or static page generation out of the box easily, you can decide later on that). There is not only React out there (which is like a jungle and more complicated in comparison to vue)...

Frontend styling and components: Vuetify or Bulma (you can also go with some vue bootstrap) + Stylus or SASS

Database: PostgreSQL (it's so stable, flexible e.g. with JSON, extendable and scalable in so many ways).

Backend: Whatever suits you to build a RESTful or GraphQL web API. Python+Flask, Go, Django, Ruby on Rails, Java Play Framework, PHP (e.g. Laravel) etc. etc.. Whatever you are most productive in. It does not matter really.

CI/CD and source control: Gitlab.com and the CI you get for free there is unbelievable good.

Packing a lunch can be wise, if it's worth your or someone else's time. I spent over $25k/yr dining out for lunch and dinner in my year of maximum unfrugality. :'( Don't do as I did, save money where it balances pennywise (not wasting time saving pennies) and poundwise (not wasting tons of money). At least prepared food from a grocery store rather than a restaurant, meal kit service or restaurant meal delivery service. Take advantage of healthy free or low/er cost food nearby when available. If you're a VC or CEO and raking in coin, pay (almost) any amount to automate everything. If you're broke, automate gradually as you get less broke.

Back to article topic: When I was a kid, every day was a sizable packed lunch from home at school. Had to get to 2 m and 80 kg somehow, as I was two-dimensional until university.
No, not right. I have work on a daily base with redux unfortunately. Redux is not too hard, but it's poor in design. Also you will have to give up redux soon, the hype is over and better things are at the horizon.

There is definitely some pride in dev's working with redux, once they understand it they feel like they've grown as a developer. Do you really think redux is the holy grail of stores? If you're really smart enough to understand it, think a little deeper about the design, it really sucks.

Try unstated, or is that too simple for you? Do you maybe like a lot of boilerplate and magic that took you a year to grok so you can now show off to others what wizardry you're capable off?

Well I'm surprised you are a researcher if you can't see the benefits of educating non-IT people with domain knowledge what tools IT people can provide in order for both to work together on solving real world issues with AI.
well, i don't know whether this is true. I am quite frustrated with germany, because our scattered expertise and resources are just not that competitive in this area. We were unable to retain our top people (Schmidhuber, Hochreiter, etc.), don't invest enough into our universities and our AI-initiative is also just not enough. A serious comparison to the top countries (United States, more interesting: Canada) does not end well.

If the TUM (Technical University of Munich) would have been sucessfull in retaining the top talents they developed, they would count Schmidhuber, Hochreiter, Schaal, etc. to their faculty and be competitive with top institutions. But they didn't and it's a symptom of a larger lack of investment. My university (KIT) also developed some pretty sucessfull researchers in "AI", but they left (for example to Carnegie Mellon, where there's a lot cooperation, especially in machine learning). Prof. Alex Waibel made a pretty important contribution to ConvNets, one could argue they developed out of his time-delay NNs. But, although he's still a Prof at KIT, he's not really that present in karlsruhe.

Just compare the total numbers of papers on NeurIPS of germany to other countries. We are getting obliterated.

I still think that a "reasonably" distributed approach is best for germany (and probably for finnland), but we have to get our shit together! I don't think this is due to our more distributed approach.

It's all pretty frustrating, i think there's a lot of wasted potential here.

The theory goes, the private sector is more efficient at running an enterprise. In terms of extracting value I suppose that theory is correct.

Meanwhile, a week before the fires up North, a crew of LADWP workers swept my neighborhood replacing transformers, cables, insulators and mounting bars on every pole for blocks around me. The kind of maintenance that PG&E should have done over a decade ago. I don't know what the rates are on PG&E, but I do know LADWP charges a little more than half the price for electricity as SoCal Edison does in the areas it serves.

LADWP is owned by the City of Los Angeles.

The answer to the last two questions is easy - yes to both.

There are absolutely huge differences between budget consumer and high-end professional equipment. There are also huge differences between high-end audiophile and professional equipment - the former being designed to flatter and enhance the sound, the latter being as neutral as possible.

A good few years ago a high-end audiophile CD/DAC maker was caught deliberately rolling off the top end on their equipment to make it sound smoother and "less digital."

It wasn't accurate, but a lot of people liked the sound enough to pay five figures for the boxes they made.

Professional audio has a different goal. The aim is to create a mix that "translates" - sounds good on as many different systems as possible, from budget earbuds to audiophile.

For a long time studios used a pair of shitty Yamaha bookshelf speakers called NS10s next to their ultra-expensive reference speakers. NS10s were almost the worst speaker ever. But if a mix sounded good on the NS10s, it sounded good on anything.

Based on your link:
"Gluten intolerance is uncommon (fewer than one in a hundred people) but very important for those who have celiac disease.”

This statement is vague. First, it may be _much_ more common than 1 in 100 in white people. Fewer than 1 in 100 may be true if taken the world population into account.

Wheat allergy, Gluten intolerance and celiac disease are actually considered by some to be two different things. See also:

While it is true that there is a trend towards longer lunchtimes here, packing your lunch, eating in and not taking the time to leave the office and have lunch at different places nearby (and socialize while doing so) has a bunch of negative connotations...

For me, at least, the dietary implications alone make this (and the typical British work lunch) a major put-off.

Dynamo as a replacement for RDS is great until you come across these simple things that are easy to implement in a RDS (like a paging model for row results) and you need to jump to a page in the middle. it’s the biggest PITA.

I would be happy to show you how to use redux, without switch statements and even without reducers. It's not that hard, and if you don't like it, just use other state management libs. But don't call it poor design - it has 2 methods.
Even though I was not able to understand 100% of it (non native speaker) it was a fantastic read. Thanks for sharing that!
In my experience, the problem with a lot of those solutions is that at some point you still need to handle data and some significant dynamic content. Of course, this depends on what you do, but even a simple e-commerce site is fairly dynamic nowadays.

What happens if you go the I'll-do-it-myself is that you still get a significant amount of code, and lots more bugs since you'll have to redevelop significant pieces of what the libraries and frameworks already have done (and tested) - and you'll ever be better than them.

Of course, you don't need to use Javascript to render your whole page. You can still use React or Vue to add these dynamic parts, and render the rest at the backend.

Imo this might be one of the most underrated ways of doing things. I guess human tend to go to the extremes without being rational about it necessarily (or thinking for themselves and just buying into the hype).
Yes, I understand your view. But we all have to start somewhere - I suppose my starting point is likely going to be low end jobs on low end freelancing sites, as I have zero network and zero online presence.

Of course not, I wasn't being entirely serious, but it's certainly a contributing factor. I enjoy the social aspect of going out for lunch (and the flavour aspect, of course). It's difficult to eat out and eat something healthy, even salads are soaked in high-calory dressings.

Perhaps this Norwegian "art" of eating a bland lunch that "should be a disappointment" is someone's twisted idea of a good time. But it's not mine.

> Basic information theory tells us that any noisy continuous system is equivalent to a discrete system of a certain resolution/bit-depth.

Technically you are right - but practically you are wrong. Like 'technically' any logical or even emotional reasoning can be modeled with if-else-structures (maybe add some randomness). But why aren't we able yet to actually create human-like reasoning? Because that approach is 'practically' not useful. That's why the most powerful ML solutions aren't realized with Prolog, but with neural networks at the moment.

> A few bits are sufficient to describe the output of a real-world neuron.

Possibly. But no computer is so far able to even remotely simulate or emulate what is actually going on within a real-world neuron. And that is required to fundamentally understand the output.

> except for a (potentially) reduced energy consumption

And that is quite a big deal. Because the effect of reduced energy in a parallelized system is going to be exponentially relevant!

> But on a theoretical level, nothing changes.

But on a practical level everything will change.

I heard that warm lunches used to be common in Netherland in agricultural areas. They'd work in the field all morning, then have a hot meal, then work all afternoon, and have some bread in the evening.

> Just implement what you need today and do the rest later.

I'd add that, while you shouldn't change the complexity of your implementation very much, you should look at potential future scenarios and migration paths. Sometimes you can make small changes to the plan that make migration paths easier. Optimize for ease of change I suppose.

Obviously the effort you put into this should be proportional to the complexity/importance of the problem.

The cost of using a blockchain at the scale of one of today's big payment processors is still unknown. The current amount of transactions per second in something like Bitcoin is ridiculous compared to Visa or even any big online retailer. Some say that it could scale to that level but it remains to be seen.

Regarding email it's unfortunately a rather bad example. While I personally host my own email server on a dedicated host I seem to be among a rather small minority. Every time this subject comes up on HN people say that they had a lot of trouble setting up their own email server because they kept being flagged as spam by the big hosts like gmail and friends.

Email is clearly undergoing a rather massive centralization around a few big providers offering an ad-sponsored service.

There are also obvious advantages to centralizing email: when you have many users you can de-duplicate content more aggressively, you can catch spam much more effectively etc... Overall it is more efficient, privacy and independence notwithstanding.

There's also an other important difference between email and blockchains: even if you consider email a decentralized service not all nodes (SMTP servers) need to store the full state and history of all emails sent in the entire world. They just pass emails along and only keep those addressed to a user of this particular server. It's similar to other services like IRC or bittorrent for instance.

Full Bitcoin nodes need to store the full state of the blockchain to function. You can optimize it a bit if you're willing to lose some functionality (discard spent outputs for instance) but not everybody can do that or the system fails and that's still a massive amount of data to keep around forever.

Email is (potentially) decentralized but also distributed. Blockchain is decentralized but every node contains the full state of the system. That's a very big difference when it comes to scalability.
Lots of folks love sqlalchemy. I just don't get it. I only have to use it infrequently, but when I do, I spend very little time crafting my SQL and a much longer time translating it to sqlalchemy's query builder. Even a join is a PITA.
No - because your thoughts are not translatable into code.

I tend to draw various diagrams or graphs when working on something and it would be inconvenient to digitize them. Sure, once you have some final "thing" you can add it do the documentation.

I don't think that list is really as black and white as that article makes it seem. I had conversations about this exact topic with friends from Spain and France (the things you talk about once you have children), and none of them had warm lunches at school. Of course I'm almost 40 years old, my friend are in that age bracket, so maybe it's different now, or maybe it depends on rural/urban or how well funded the schools are in other ways - but from what I understand, without it being a statistically sound survey, having full meals at primary and/or secondary school is not universal.
