Hi All, I’m working on a submission envisioning the environment in 2030.

Looking at China’s stated “One Belt, One Road” initiative, is it feasible this could expand?

Soecifically, to include: “One Platform, One Network”

By that I mean the deep integration and alignment between the Chinese government and BAT(Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent) enabling a shift from rising Superpower to Superplatform primacy.

Superplatform > Superpower

Geodigital > Geopolitical

Exorbitant Data(superplatform) > Exorbitant Privilege(currency)

Network Effects based thinking > Kinetic Effects based thinking

US/FAANG appear to be cannibalising each other and in constant conflict with the US government and potentially less competitive in a relative, clinical, and Machiavellian sense with China/BAT.

Could we see a war for superplatform primacy?

Thoughts?

> The common advice of "learn to cook" comes across similar to "Don't bother consuming mass media produced music -- just make up a song, sing into a microphone and play back the tape.

Nobody is saying "make gourmet meals" or be the next Gordon Ramsay every time you step in the kitchen. It can be immensely cheaper to cook most of your meals than eating out or buying packaged food, even if that's just basic cooking.

I meal prep all my lunches for the week and they are not glamorous by any means, but I don't spend much, have a well balanced diet, and it doesn't take much effort.

I just tried it out. Looks fantastic; I immediately bounced from the three day free scan to the six month. I appreciated the spam estimate.

I did have the problem that the six month scan just hung up at 29%. Went to account info for scan history, and when I went back to the scan page it was back to asking me for 8$ - despite never having finished the scan. So, as it stands, are the paid-for results only available in a single session? Lost if you navigate elsewhere on the same site? (Accessing from iOS)

Only thing I would have appreciated is some way to easily distinguish between subscriptions-spam (eg, newsletters) and spam from places I need occasional communications from (eg, receipts from wayfair purchases.) I’m not sure what that would look like though - maybe a tag-and-archive for the latter?

Glad you’re a moral bastion but I gotta pay the bills and big companies have better work life balance than unicorn startups.
There are applications for which even that is not enough. When you get to that point, it's best to not use Go. In fact it's best to have known that you would get to that point and not use Go in the first place.

One example is high-performance routing on 10Gbps networks using user-space networking. Pretty much every cycle counts into your throughput numbers, because the rest of the hardware can barely keep up with the network card even before you're trying to do something. Go is a poor fit for this use case.

(This from someone who has been accused of being a Go shill. I use it a lot and like it a lot professionally, but it is no more suitable for every task than any other language.)
Ah, I see what you mean. Your restatement disambiguates nicely, thank you.

If the reverser could rip the engine off the wing, it wouldn't be safe to engage on the ground. Just thought that was worth pointing out.

A reverser only redirects thrust, and only generates about 60% of max thrust pushing backwards.

It's only on for a limited time on the ground because under a certain speed, you run the risk of blowing FOD into the intake path, putting the engine at risk.

I'm not aware of any reason to outright lockout a reverser in flight other than to hedge your bets against a very, very poor set of configuration choices by the pilot (reversing near stall speed too low to recover). I could foresee scenarios where being able to use reversers in the air could save the aircraft with the right combination of subsystem casualties.

Not a pilot or engineer, but absolutely LOVE aviation.

Detoxing the masses seems to be a pipe dream for long now. But if nobody would like to work for them, this might mark a point.
Indeed. We've been conditionned to think we need a lot of meat, every meal, every day. This has driven the need for the industry to produce more and cheaper.

I'm an omnivore but try to eat less meat, and find higher quality meats instead. It's not always convenient but in terms of taste alone, it's worth it. While I like to think there is some health benefit, I have no data to support that.
Don't forget video games.

In a game with good network code such as Quake 2 / 3, you could expect at best a 150ms ping time with a 56k modem in ideal scenarios but on ISDN you could get half that which made a world of a difference.

I never had ISDN but I knew a few people with it. It was like you were playing a completely different game. Then cable came and it blew everything away with getting 20-30ms ping times even in the early 2000s.

I'm fairly certain Netflix just realizes that there is a very vocal group that is very active on social media about food and nutrition.

Nutrition articles even here on HN bring out the most extreme and vocal commenters.

They just understand modern marketing and use of the social media marketing channel.
No. It's really not. If anything your local small scale food is more likely to have their screw ups make it all the way to market because the quality control at their is either less mature or doesn't exist.

The food industry has some evil things about it but large players quality control is not one of those things. Margins at their level are too thin for them to exist without pretty good quality control.

The pros and cons of deliberative reasoning
Is that really the case though? Lets play through this virtual divorce.

Apple's revenue was a disappointing what 60 some billion dollars last quarter based on devices that have a multitude of functions beyond facebook. Not having facebook available on the device would probably decrease their value somewhat but with facebook getting tons of bad press it could work to apple and alternative social networks long term benefit by further cementing Apple as protector of your privacy and Apple blessed social networks as better than that trash android users run on their comparatively open platform. Users already don't seem to value openness much and place higher stock in privacy and security.

Facebooks was in the same time frame around 16 billion. Facebook depends heavily on access to mobile platforms to reach users. Apple is only 10ish % of the global market but around at least 1/3 of the US market which facebook needs. As people are unlikely to chuck their $1000 phones in the trash before 1-2 years are up it seems likely that most users would keep their facebook account to keep in contact with friends/family on facebook but come to rely on other chat apps on their phone and may ultimately use those apps instead of facebook on and off their phones.

From facebooks perspective its users don't immediately drop but engagement can drop through the floor for that segment while offering substantial help to competitors that may in the long run turn facebook into myspace 2.0. Apple losing facebook would be a negative. Facebook losing apple would be an existential threat. If removed from the play store as well it would basically be dead in the water. This would probably never happen because if apple and or google threatened to do so it would basically have to give apple and or google its left arm and throw in a leg to secure its continued existence. It's bargaining position with either is terrible.

I think both should work together to force facebook to do a better job of protecting its users privacy.

As an aside I think that in the longer run it could probably consider bypassing the respective app stores entirely to work entirely as a website but don't think that would be likely to be a short term prospect.
I understand there are browser plugins available but when reading text content requires installing extra software to improve the experience my solution is just to go read content somewhere else.

There is no invasion like what you're mentioning in the (recently) current systems. I was a Nielsen household. They use audio tracking via HDMI/optical audio to "see" what's being watched, and they can of course tell what TV it's coming from, but that's the extent of it.
> I think software has existed in computer systems for 7 or 8 decades now - and the pitfalls are well understood.

This would be funny if it weren't tragically wrong. Time and again we learn that software is very much not yet well understood, especially in large and complex systems. And aviation does this a lot better than most other lines of business.
Just have multiple sensors like they do already.

It's also a sensor that you can simply put on each wheel to determine if there is weight applied.

I think the auto shutdown of engines in flight, in case it senses reverse thrust, is a great design.

The 787 is a replacement for my 767 (currently a pilot on the aircraft) and in 1991 a Lauda Air 767 suffered a failure in one of its thrust reverser and it became activated during cruise. The aircraft was destroyed in flight.

The thrust reversers should not activate during flight (a air/ground sensors prevents that) but as it is a catastrophic failure, having the engine shut down automatically seems like a great fail safe device.

In this case it seems that the 787 engines were reversed before the air/ground sensor had sensed ground and it is a potential problem.

I don't know that Facebook is in a position to make a deal. Apple just won a mountain of positive press by taking a tough stance on this, and without having to actually take Facebook's legitimate apps away from their users. I think Facebook is just going to have to live with the consequences of their decisions.

Seeking technical cofounders, video/computer vision
Hello! I got into the video space right after participating in the YCSS.

As the situation would have it, I signed up quite a few beta users in a short amount of time, with an early version of a video content organizer.

It may be a long shot posting here, but in case you know someone - I'm looking for technical cofounders. I'd like to work with a person or two to help me with infrastructure and have serious interest in computer vision (ML). My background includes an MsCS + MBA (15+ years) and my interest and forte is the business side.
In the future I'd like to offer motion detection for users.

Please feel free to recommend colleagues and friends, ask them to share their backgrounds with founder.vidd.ai at gmail. It would work best if they're based in Silicon Valley.

Thanks.
If they were planning to disable the API permanently, why would they reenable it? Maybe their explanation wasn’t thorough but to attribute it to malice is premature.

How would it benefit Medium to not allow third party apps to publish to their platform? This isn’t like Twitter where they had an incentive not to allow users to use unofficial apps to force advertising on them.
Where is your piping example?
Whenever an idea for something comes to your mind, write it down on a post it note, stick it somewhere you'll see it somewhere regularly (I put them on my desktop monitor + my desk), then forget about it. Maybe back up the idea to evernote or something, too, so you have a digital copy. Within a short amount of time you will have far more project ideas than you could complete.
There are solutions, but as I mentioned in my original comment, previous hardware has generally not had the power to implement secure cryptographic solutions.

As an example, an ES8266 would be unable to verify a server certificate for a TLS connection against a CA, cryptographically due to memory/compute constraints so historically it's been done by just verifying the fingerprint with a simple comparison.

WPS is insecure and shouldn't be used at all.

One way to do the password system safely is to have a one time pass in volatile memory that is provisioned in a secure environment where you're confident it can't be captured as you pass it over an insecure channel.

The ESP32 is a huge improvement, hardware wise in security capability, it has hardware cryptographic extensions and a secure element, but it's rarely used properly as the article is an example of.
It turns six lines into one line.

It looks impressive in software interviews, but I don't really see the use in it for production code. Not every JS dev immediately knows what's going on with this syntax.

A Child’s Puzzle Helped Uncover How Magnets Really Work
So do I. Worked at a contractor hosting multiple sensitive/classified document repositories for one of the service branches. One of their attorneys' passwords expired for the document review platform. So this highly-qualified, TS/SCI cleared person accessing sensitive data emailed a bunch of our IT support and PMO distribution lists - basically an unknown number of anonymous third-party personnel - with an angry request to "reset [my] password back to [pass1234]! Right now!"

One thing I learned is that, with the exception of those directly concerned with the firing of weapons in anger, most military personnel don't give a hoot about operational security, and they HATED our IT department who did.

Then some competition for payment systems exists, but it's currently based on giving Chinese expats an alternative payment method.

A.I. will have an advantage in China because of the extreme adoption. But I don't see worldwide adoption because of the language barrier. The world speaks English currently, which is a huge influencer/barrier.

> Read the other apologists. They quote a 3% deviation from sentencing guidelines

In any given year, around 4% of women in the US will get pregnant. Suppose Alice is a sexually active woman in the US who uses the pill religiously, and who requires her sex partners to wear condoms.

Do you think that because 4% of women will get pregnant this year, and Alice is a women, Alice has a 4% chance of getting pregnant?

That's the kind of reasoning you are using with the 3% figure for upward deviations in sentencing. You are assuming that because 3% of sentences are above guidelines, everyone who is sentenced is equally at risk for an above guideline sentence.

> Sentencing guidelines for Aaron were 6-7 years. A single wire charge on max penalty could be 20. All you need is one judge who saw WarGames to want to make an example out of the kid.

A judge cannot just arbitrarily exceed the guidelines like that. There are specific factors and considerations that a judge must cite to justify an upward deviation, and they are not applicable in Swartz's case. A judge who just arbitrarily decided to apply his own criteria to come up with 20 years would have that quickly overturned on appeal as an abuse of discretion.

You want to know what happens to someone in Swartz's situation if he gets a judge that wants to throw the book at him? He gets 7 years. That's the result of a hard line judge accepting an exaggerated damages claim and not applying any of the factors that would allow lowering the sentence. That's why his lawyers, the prosecutors, and outside lawyers all said he would probably actually get at most a few months--the 7 year number is the "judge who saw WarGames to want to make an example out of the kid" number.
Many actual pilots would likely disagree. Shoehorning vastly different planes into the same type certificate can be dangerous. Convenient for pilots due to certification and recurrency issues, but not necessarily a good idea.

Do you really want a pilot to jump into a 737MAX who only ever flew the -100? I bet the memory items are very different if not also all the speeds and weights.

(NB: jet pilot, not Boeing airliner pilot though)

Looks like Google even sends people routers to intercept ALL their traffic, and has special devices to constantly listen to their TV to analyze what people are watching. Yuck.
Well, two things there -

First, the case you describe is one that's covered by using Spark for batch processing. Parent was criticizing using it and other tools for stream processing. The two are very different use cases.

Second, just gotta call out that 2nd paragraph. A qualified data scientist should have a solid training in statistics. And someone who has a solid training in statistics should rarely if ever make the assumption that one day is representative of the whole week in the first place, regardless of whether they subsequently check that assumption. They would probably start with the presumption that one day is not representative of the whole week, because that is self-evidently going to be near-universally the case for any data that measures something about human behavior.
I’ve had the opposite experience. I’ve found countless times that online tutorials confuse the issue, even if they help you to accomplish some specific task. The FM on the other hand tells it like it is. The trick is to only read the parts that you need to in order to clear up your confusion. This sometimes means reading one section and having to look something up in another section before you can understand the first, and this can sometimes be a recursive process, but if you have any understanding of the technology at all the recursion depth is rarely greater than two or three. You’ll quickly find that the things you don’t understand have straightforward explanations in terms of the things you do understand.

If you find yourself five levels deep in this process and still unable to comprehend what you’re reading, you need to take a step back and ask yourself if you do in fact have any real understanding of the technology you’re using.
The cruising airspeed of an airplane is faster than its landing speed. I don't know if that alone is enough to rip the engine off the wing, but it's something that it sounds like you did not consider in making your point.

There is desktop software that does all of this locally, including auto-play, intro skipping, remembering where you were in a media file, even auto-downloading subtitles and displaying them. Nor do you have to navigate through your own 'idiotic' folder structure as you put it, because software like Everything exists.
