It's subjective but recent language and runtime updates have made massive updates in performance and flexibility. There are projects like Unity, RavenDB document store, FASTER KV store, Trill analytics, ML.NET and many more that show that C# is incredibly capable of competing at low-level/high-performance scenarios.

> As for buying the apartment: The poster assumes 7% yield on the savings; can the apartment give the same yield? It's not obviously better to purchase it (though the tax shield might make it so).

You misunderstood me, I said you would buy the $3M apartment, but I did not say you would buy it all 100% in cash. On the contrary, the standard approach is to put 20% down (~$600k) and pay the rest off with a 30 year mortgage at ~4% interest. The interest alone comes to ~$100k/yr and with principal and building common charges, the cost can easily near $200k.

Your yield calculations fail to appreciate the leverage that exists in real-estate. Even in NYC, with a fast-growing real-estate market, market value rarely grows beyond 3%/year. So purchasing an apartment in 100% cash is almost certainly worse than renting and investing. However, few people buy in all cash (except for Russian oligarchs, and they have other issues). Most put down 20% and take loans on the rest. If you put down 20% on the apartment, pay 4% interest on the loan, and the apartment's value grows 3%/year, you net 11% increase on your initial down payment investment, making it attractive when compared to renting/investing.

I've had this happen for pretty large companies. In one case their security team later gave a talk about bugs they'd discovered that included a diagram I'd sent in my description of an issue, which I found annoying.

These days I generally just sit on issues. The work involved in putting together a bulletproof report that can be understood by whoever reads the security alias (could be a security engineer, could be a PHB, could be /dev/null...) is just too high to do for free.

In these cases I'm always reminded of an Obama speech he made shortly after the beginning of the Edward Snowden disclosures, where he guaranteed in national television that the US did not spy on national citizens.

Imagine that, not being a national citizen, but from an allied country, and being told point blank that you are a-okay for spying without any kind of shame.

AFAIK China does not intercept all of my country's communications, which the US has been doing for decades.

Sigh, it's just a bad choice between sleazy US or dictatorial China. At least there are some other 5G choices available.

Similar experience here.

Back in 2013 we had to evaluate existing cloud/VM platforms in order to replace the plain KVM/libvirt and support and enable the growth. oVirt was garbage (missing installation ISOs, randomly broken install process, cluster nodes not communicating etc.), OpenNebula buggy, OpenStack seemed to be quite hard to grasp, Hyper-V Windows only and VMWare expensive as hell (even now the TCO Calculator gives us 4000+ EUR/VM - this must be joke).

We run several VMs with docker and our apps, manage dedicated servers and their networks (VLANs as provider networks in OpenStack), provide IPSec VPNs to for tenants, run Kubernetes clusters on OpenStack. We also manage several dedicated servers that are not managed by OpenStack for historical reasons and hopefully will migrate them to the cloud.

If OpenStack makes our heads hurt it is due to lack of documented design patterns. After the years, documentation is good for the initial deployment and IMHO for developers (either API consumers or contributors), but no so much for network engineers or system architects.

Some design choices are pretty crucial upfront and you will pay the price to change the design. We ended up modifying database records several times and then slowly rolled the changes to the compute nodes. Recently the OpenVSwitch flow tables were populated undeterministically after some network changes and we had to inspect sources and even then did not understand, why do we experience the issues.

But never did we encounter the stability issues, that were not caused by wild actions of an administrator.

Thinking about this some more, such federated training will require more careful differentiation between two training modes that have been traditionally clumped together:

1. Model development, improvements and tuning (choosing correct preprocessing, features, architecture, introspection, debugging…). Client-side unsuitable.

2. Training / updating of fixed, well-designed models on new "unseen-by-human-but-otherwise-well-behaved" data. Client-side suitable.

So far, the former has always been the bigger challenge, hence my QA concerns.

But perhaps once your problem is well-understood, and data known to be equally-distributed and well-behaved, the latter becomes increasingly useful. It's definitely an exciting new direction. The OP identifies personal / PII data as the flagship use-case, which sounds about right.
From a usability perspective, "sketchy" or "cartoony" charts actually serve a purpose. To me, they communicate "the trend is important here, not the precise numbers". This can more acurately convey communication intent as opposed to a precise rendered graph.

Securitization is about ease of trading - which is helped by but not defined by ease of collecting cash flows.

An asset is exactly something that can generate future cashflows, even if only by being sold. A security is a special kind of asset that can be easily traded on paper without changing it's value or taking on transformative effort.

So, your goose that lays golden eggs is indeed an asset, but it might be hard to trade because many folks aren't well prepared to own a giose. If you wrap it up in contracts about someone who will house and feed the goose, collect and sell the eggs and forward the money to the holder of a deed - congrats, that deed is now a security.

These are all great cities, but once you start arguing about amenities of specific cities, you're already making value judgments about what you would consider a good life. Further, while these cities are significantly less expensive, they are just 30% or 50% less expensive, not multiple order of magnitude.

My point was to show the absurdity of the underlying article's premise: that temporarily forgoing fancy coffees, monthly luxurious dinners, and other personal indulgences can lead to long term riches. It's a fantasy. Attaining either wealth requires much more than that, or changing your definition of wealth.
ES6 modules are neat, but they are more verbose, not more compact. And they kind of cripple some of the nifty metaprogramming capabilities that actually made Node.js cool from a Unix perspective.
Sure, our academic institutions have issues. We can argue about the exact severity, but that isn't terribly interesting. We can make efforts to improve this. We can try to learn more about where we go wrong.

I don't think it's useful or wise to just throw our hands in the air and claim we should no longer give these institutions any respect or credence. Humanity has made real, amazing gains in knowledge, understanding, and culture, and these imperfect institutions have played an important role. It is easy to forget that sometimes.

> Wasting intellectual horsepower by refuting bad arguments, experts have less and less time for more productive endeavors

I disagree that it's a waste of effort. It may be considered a waste of effort from the experts perspective, but from everyone else perspective, it is a guard against experts keeping the truth for themselves.

Experts together are a "black box" to non-experts. If we let them continue refining their ideas, they might forget to think about the common good. Even if they are good intended, at some point the knowledge has to flow between people, but experts often use their own domain language to communicate, and no one but them can argue anymore about their ideas.

What people defending X are asking to the experts is that the latters should make their finding understandable by everyone, or some people will be exploited. If a piece of knowledge is true, but not useful to people problems, it doesn't matter to them.

To me, people defending X are asking experts how does Y (or even X) is relevant to their lives, and it actually show that neither X or Y matter to them.

From there, experts have to admit their are not HELPING people anymore, because they don't solve real world problems, in humanitarian term.

Why would you care about the shape of the earth when you are dying because you have no water or food to live ? That's the life of some people on Earth. Why aren't experts thinking about giving them food and water rather than arguing that they are wrong about the shape of the earth ?

Edit: Oops this was meant for your parent post not for you!

Even if your claims are true m, which is definitly debatable, I’d argue that the lies of a populist and the peer review crisis in particular fields are part of the same problem (lies pay off).

These problems are not inherently problems you would get rid of if we stopped giving people a formal education.

On the other hand a lot of problem humanity has at the moment are impossible to solve without rational scientific solutions that also kerp side effects in mind.

There is definitly a need for many fields of science to rethink their checking processes and their incentives and they should start with it now.

But we have more pressing issues: politicians that paint up a idealized nostalghic dreamland of yesterday as a fiction people can kling to. At the same time they drain more money out of the people and blame it on something that interferes with that nostalghia (migrants, environmentalists, leftists, ...)

We know from any focal extreme movement that for a radicalized base it doesn’t matter if there is proof.

My respect for academia is magnitudes higher than for any poplist. The problem is not academia the problem is a whole society which wants easy answers to be true — because they want to integrate the whole world into their world view and if the thing you say is complex and nuanced it is hard to integrate.

Academia sees this every day: some extremely shortened claim gets pushed through the world by journalists and gets a huge echo. Their nuanced points get butcherd if they even ever get any publicity. That means as a scientist if you want public attention you have to give good simple answers and ask good simple questions. If you manage to stay true and relevant — good. If not, who cares, journalists will print everything if it is simple and spectacular.

This means to solve the problem with science we need more formal education and not less. This doesn’t mean that everybody without a formal education can’t understand complex ideas or everybody with a formal education honours them. But raising the level in a communication is always good.

A dumb belief oriented population doesn’t care about your argument, it cares about how you sell it. A clever evil populist is the same.
If it _needs_ to be in RAM, then either you got a big enough machine (then by definition it's not Big Data) or it's impossible. If you manage to come by with RAM using smart algorithms, although the full dataset would never fit in RAM, then it's Big Data. So I'd argue, stream processing is Big Data, exactly because it doesn't rely too much on RAM.
As long as FB and the other big players serve ANY information to ANY government on this planet there will NEVER be a regulatory intervention. With the current setup the price of the State is that they commonly violate the privacy that the users have volunteered by using such servicss.

The moment FB stops collecting it will be the moment that FB stops handing in our info to govs. Govs are somehow in this loop.

As much as we all like him, I don't think he is at the top of the bitcoin food chain.

Though I don't agree that there is no "normal person". Look at everyone at Blockstream (including Adam Back), people behind Ethereum, most old core devs (Gavin, Mike, etc).

Keep in mind that Bitcoin is very much cypherpunk (especially in the early days before 2013): even Neo from the Matrix was a criminal before he got plugged out. Building a new wild west of digital money is of course going to attract certain type of people.

That doesn't mean it's a scam. The US we know today was build on top of the "new frontier", and not all people were as clean as a whistle back then. The current trends in consumer tech come from Apple, a company that started with a system to hack long distance call infrastructure (blue box).
> Have you ever had one of those notepads with the kind of paper that made you want to write something, anything, even though you had nothing to write about?

Yup! The “official” notepads of my university are nice quality paper. They cost more but I enjoy them so much that I buy them anyhow.

Conversely, I’ve also had notepads with paper that felt so horrible to write on that I were unable to use them. Fortunately a friend of mine uses ink instead of mechanical pencil so for her using those notepads was not a problem so I gave them to her rather than having them sit in a closet or having to hand them over to recycling unused.

That is harder to define. Server mainboards can hold more RAM then consumer mainboards. So with 32GB per slot and 4 slots I would set a limit to 128GB?
Also this would make so much more tasks "big data". Games with 50+GB are not big data, neither is e.g video conversion.
Yeah I feel like there’s a pretty broad medium between Hadoop and awk. I generally find a python script to be a much clearer solution than an dense line of awk; the latter tends to turn into clever code golf pretty quickly.
As a young programmer I certainly found some love for all these unix tools and learn new things every day.

I think the problem is scale. Back in the day (before I was born), very few people were programmers and the resources they could use were limited. This means they didn’t need insanely complex solutions because they already needed complex solutions just to make it work on the limited hardware. People were trying to solve problems with computers. Nowaday you take a problem that could be solved by an microcontroller with three buttons and make it a cloud app with web server, web interface and all kind of other things like containers.

We donlt really tend to ask the question what a good solution would look like. Often it is the case that you just use the technology the developer wants to learn

I was thinking the opening of book three:

"TO CARTHAGE I came, where there sang all around me in my ears a cauldron of unholy loves. I loved not yet, yet I loved to love, and out of a deep-seated want, I hated myself for wanting not. I sought what I might love, in love with loving, and safety I hated, and a way without snares. For within me was a famine of that inward food, Thyself, my God; yet, through that famine I was not hungered; but was without all longing for incorruptible sustenance, not because filled therewith, but the more empty, the more I loathed it. For this cause my soul was sickly and full of sores, it miserably cast itself forth, desiring to be scraped by the touch of objects of sense. Yet if these had not a soul, they would not be objects of love. To love then, and to be beloved, was sweet to me; but more, when I obtained to enjoy the person I loved. I defiled, therefore, the spring of friendship with the filth of concupiscense, and I beclouded its brightness with the hell of lustfulness; and thus foul and unseemly, I would fain, through exceeding vanity, be fine and courtly. I fell headlong then into the love wherein I longed to be ensnared. My God, my Mercy, with how much gall didst Thou out of Thy great goodness besprinkle for me that sweetness? For I was both beloved, and secretly arrived at the bond of enjoying; and was with joy fettered with sorrow-bringing bonds, that I might be scourged with the iron burning rods of jealousy, and suspicion, and fears, and angers, and quarrels."

More 10 year predictions:

- China's chip industry will be fully caught up to the U.S.'s, Intel chips will still be the best, but only by a few percentage points and won't be economical at a large scale.

- Building custom ASICs will be far more common, and will be an important way of improving performance, as well as differentiation in the market (e.g., Adobe will produce their Photoshop chip).

- AI will get very good at analyzing PDFs and HTML tables. There will be apps that you can give access to your email that will be able to make very detailed itemized reports of your spending habits, and make recommendations on how to save money or get more for it.

- Dominant forms of trust will form on the internet. I am inclined to think that traditional media will take up this role, but it's possible that others will fill this space too.

- Even though humans will not go to Mars in 10 years, there will be a credible plan to put humans there (possibly taking another 10 years).

- Probes to Titan will be launched, and credible plans to land something on the moon will be well underway.

- Genomics in criminal law continues it's rapid growth, making unsolved rape cases a thing of the past.

- China's rapid growth in creating patents starts causing internal issues; they face their own first internal patent war, causing significant internal economic issues, forcing them to re-evaluate the value they ascribe to patents.
