Instead of getting rid of the keyboard, mouse and standard 2D display, why not start with augmenting the reality around those? Keep the keyboard, keep the mouse, keep the high-speed, high-definition display, there's nothing more efficient. Touchscreens don't even come close to matching that combo in any domain, let alone exceeding it. What chance do laggier, less touchable figments have? If you can't find something that augments that reality for the better, it's time to move on.

Redis is the best data store I've had the fortune to work with. No nonsense data structures coupled with extremely reliable performance, beautiful API and extremely easy to manage.

It also helped me earn a lot of praise for using redis-cli --pipe to bulk insert data which bringed down a data import job to a few minutes from 4 hours. I eventually built a wrapper around redis-cli --pipe for using it with a cluster.

Perhaps this could work for some, but for front line workers (the target of Hololens) it absolutely would not. The entire current mission of Hololens is to empower front line workers that currently have access to no computers at all, people that work with their hands and can't have a smart phone, keyboard, monitor, etc right in front of them.
You are cherry picking a few minutes from an interview that was several hours long.

CNBC didn't air the full interview, and the cut at that point of the interview as very misleading. Here is what Elon said in response, "This is a very misleading edit. Please post the full transcript where I complete the sentence." Source:https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1072373731039870979

He also said "60 Mins actually had several hours of interview time, which they distilled to 14 mins. Many stories could been told with that time. This was accurate as viewed from an Upper East Side Manhattan dinner party." Source: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1072351502654672897

Fine, but the concept is out in the world now. The cities should be able to replicate the concept, compete and leverage their strengths the same way any for profit entity could.
>No. But your experiment involves "you with a pencil and a paper" where "you" is conscious.

Ok if it was mechanical computer, or an electronic computer what difference would it make ?

At what point does the computer start to have an independent experience of reality ?

To be clear I should mention I am not against consciousness emerging from physics, I don't think it is very likely that it emerges from computation at the level of neural networks.

Primordial consciousness is not an intuitive thing to understand. I see a lot of hubris and arrogance from people who conflate consciousness with computation or intelligence.

Are are lots of examples of computation without consciousness. So there is not much reason to think this other than the fact that our own brains are both conscious and perform computation (and even then the vast majority of the computation happens at a sub-conscious level)

>It's not necessary to use organic particles. We will probably soon build the electronic computer which will, from the perspective of the humans communicating with him, indeed behave "as a conscious person": soon we won't need you to write the answer you wrote, the computer will be able to make even better one.

Just because humans believe something is conscious doesn't make it conscious. The hard problem of consciousness is understanding why we have any experience at all. Consciousness is the illuminating quality of our minds, computation causes permutations in the nature of this experience, however it doesn't follow that it is what creates this experience to begin with.

How do you guys think the trend from public transit to rideshare will look once self-driving cars begin ramping up?

I imagine that without the cost of labor from the driver, rideshares should become dirt cheap. Will anybody use public transit in 10 years? If not, the congestion problem will get many times worse.

there’s not a lot of reason to. In the browser, you already have a JS environment. It’s easier to add a wasm environment to it than it is to re-write the world. Additionally, wasm doesn’t have a GC, and is not really optimized for dynamic languages, so there’s just not a lot of reason to do it.
When dealing with green fields projects of course you can rely on clear schemas. Less so in practice when working on an older live app that has passed through multiple maintainers and maybe even been migrated between different DBs.
Elon Musk knows as much about it as we do. It's not like he can call up the SEC and ask them to confirm/deny if they're taking action on him.

Sorry, but this story originally came from Bloomberg and I lost all faith in Bloomberg after they refused to retract the SuperMicro story. I will believe it when I see it on the sec.gov website. Until then it's as good as bullshit in my eyes.

> You said Amazon lets you return them without the delivery guarantee. What does the delivery guarantee add here?

It adds "missed delivery date" to the list of valid reasons to return the item. In theory you could have a guarantee that allows returns because you didn't like the item but not because it was delivered later than estimated -- hard to enforce and kind of silly, but that doesn't mean the scrupulous person who only makes returns for agreed upon reasons wouldn't be getting a money-back delivery guarantee when you add it.

> I pay $100 for Prime so I can get items I want to keep long-term faster. What good does being able to return them do me?

It allows you to punish them by returning the late item only to go buy it from a competitor.

> If the guarantee meant anything I'd get some of the $100 I paid for the 2-day shipping back for items that arrived late and weren't returned.

The $100 pays for the "2-day delivery in most cases" shipping service.

If it's worth that much as-offered then they don't need to let you keep the item for free on top of that. If it isn't then why are you paying for it?
Honestly, when I first heard about the Hololense project, I just wanted to be able to code in the ceiling while relaxing.
That's a really interesting point.
A lot of people seem to see FB & Goog as adtech or something, when in fact they simply sell one of the main requirements for advertising - ad space.

Whether the ad is well targeted or not, the host still makes a profit (both monetarily and in terms of their own tracking data)

That's solid economics. If a war breaks out, be the one that sells guns. I seem to recall a quote along these lines but it escapes me...
On a machine that isn't behind a firewall already you will want to set up strict firewall rules, including blocking inbound DNS from anywhere except trusted addresses. Other hardening steps should be taken as well but they're not specific to DNS resolvers.

Recursive DNS resolvers on the open Internet start getting abused really fast for DNS amplification DDoS attacks (for anyone unaware reading this).

I see frontline workers use those thing every time I interact with them, far more efficiently than anything real demonstrated in a Hololense video so far. If you're working with your hands, it's very likely you can't afford to have you FOV obstructed by much. For example, I'd freak out if I saw a surgeon wearing one. I'd much rather they be looking at a magnified view, fed to a high-speed 2D display than a laggy 3D approximation of reality.

Can you cite a source? At least where I am (Seattle) Uber Pool and Express are quite popular - and I rarely see hard numbers.
I actually have thought about this sort of thing for a while. Personally, I think that forcing private entities to have more responsibility as they become more powerful is the way to go. Although, I'm not a civics expert by any stretch of the imagination.

Some companies have significantly more power than some governments in existence, so why shouldn't they have to act as if they were in fact a government. So, for example, if a mom and pop wants to fire someone because they don't like what they're saying, then more power to them. They don't have very much power, so their ability to defacto infringe on rights is limited. On the other hand, if Walmart doesn't like what I'm saying, then they have to give me 1st amendment considerations because of their vast amount of power.

The other side of this is that if you're running a small business and don't have the power to deal with employees who are acting in bad faith, then your business might actually tank. However, Walmart has got the resources to deal with employees who aren't just exercising their 1st amendment rights, but who are actively malicious and hurtful. Walmart can rotate the schedules or transfer people to another store or create a special position where the problem is sufficiently isolated. And Walmart can do all this without breaking a sweat.

This of course doesn't fix the "what happens if everyone hates you in a small rural area" problem. Theoretically all the entities in a rural area are going to have sufficiently low amounts of power AND proving collusion is going to be basically impossible (not to mention do you really want to force two people to hang out with a third just because there's only three people in an area and technically the two people have a high relative power base).
Seems like there could be a lot of unintended commercial consequences — people that would be customers deciding not to bother. I don’t know the situation in other places, but in Colorado the RTD smartphones apps are just awful. Twice in the last month I ended up taking an uber home because the ticketing app for the buses was down and I couldn’t access tickets I bought. Not to mention it frequently feels unsafe. I’m fortunate to be a 6’4” male, but if I was say a 5’2” woman I would totally want to avoid the harassment.

Maybe the focus should be in providing better public transportation instead of encouraging people to stay home.
All the delivery services park illegally as well. For a long time I assumed they had some sort of exemption because it was so common. They just eat the tickets as cost of doing business.
It's literally about advertising, i.e. getting people to click on stuff they otherwise wouldn't.

> It's not like he can call up the SEC and ask them to confirm/deny if they're taking action on him.

He and his legal team will absolutely receive copies of any court filings in this case.

Individual filings won't be on sec.gov. You can check PACER, though.

This filing also indicates Musk's legal team chimed in about the tweet in response to the SEC's inquiry (page five). If that weren't the case, Musk would certainly contest that statement. This bit too:

> "According to counsel, immediately upon seeing Musk's 7:15 tweet for the first time after Musk had published it, Tesla's "Designated Securites Counsel" arranged to meet with Musk, and they drafted Musk's corrective 11:41 tweet together."
That exchange is exactly what he agreed to: only tweets that could be material needed pre-approval.

I don't pretend to understand this, but they could be saying that it's not infinite, just very, very large. According to the S/N curve on Wikipedia, it looks like staying in the plastic region for steel means you effectively get enough cycles that the part will "effectively" be immortal (just maybe not going to last until the death of our sun at MHz cycles).

An analogy might be with transistors - if you run them at high temps, you might get ten years out of them. If you're running them at room temps, you might not be able to see signs of anything other than sporadic failure even over long periods of time.

I subscribed to Blue Apron for a few months and was unhappy with the service. Boxes would come missing important items or with incorrect quantities. Recently, I purchased a Tovala oven (and subscribed for the meals which go along with it.) So far so good! I only use it to supplement meals we cook at home or for lunch when certain dinners we cook won’t have leftovers, etc. It’s surprisingly good and we use the oven to cook our own food, as well.

> Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow.

Just count of viewers doesn't help. The owners of these eyeballs need both motivation to look for these bugs, and expertise to find them.

> The power of computers per unit cost doubles every 24 month.

Slowed down years ago.

> Software gets slower faster than hardware gets faster.

It doesn't. If you'll benchmark new software on new PCs versus old software on old PCs processing same amount of data, you'll find out the new one is faster by orders of magnitude.

Input to screen latency might be 1-2 frames slower, because USB, GPU, HDMI, LCD indeed have more latency compared to COM ports, VGA, and CRT. But throughput is way better.

> Premature optimization is the root of all evil.

Was probably true while the power of computers doubled every 24 month. It doesn't any more.
My clinical training log (requirement for specalist board registration) is similarly frustrating, so I wrote some JavaScript hooks and then used Keyboard Maestro to mostly automate data entry. 9 clicks became Ctrl-9, for example.

Those are just some of the questions non-technical consumers are expected to know the answers to when they are buying USB products.

Astrology is still defended by a lot of everyday people who should know better! A couple of times recently, smart people I know have said some astrology thing, to my astonishment. When I say "uh.....geez, you don't believe that do you?!" they say "It's fun" in defence of it. Probably they've never in their lives come across some Shermer/Sagan/Gardner/Dawkins/Harris etc mocking/writing against baseless beliefs.

It's just not a shameful thing to believe in, in the general culture. Astrology columns are in all newspapers, are 'fun'. Harmless entertainment. I guess newspapers had a role in continuing that till the present day.

> Uber and Lyft “are using public roads, and the profit is going to their companies,”

Using this logic, they should be taxing all companies that use public roads (food delivery, package delivery, service companies), instead they are specifically cherry picking Uber and Lyft to target. These sort of anti-business policies are causing companies and people in masses to flee California and New York. Perhaps that is the goal.
