Interestingly it’s not the readership that has plummeted but the ad revenue that has evaporated. https://www.journalism.org/fact-sheet/newspapers/

In other words, many newspapers still do get more or less same eyeballs as before but the price that advertisers are willing to pay for them has taken nose dive. So it’s not about circulation but ad revenue generated per subscriber.
How do I use that?
> Nothing could stop you from opening a business that would offer insurance in case of key theft.

There is no way to prove a key was stolen and no way to prove the theft was not a fraud. Insurance is backed up with jail time for insurance fraud and is STILL rife with fraud (especially automotive insurance).

Blockchain theft insurance is not a business that would survive long.

True disruption changes the obvious problem above: how do you replace the cost of professional judgement and trust?

If you're an engineer today, you don't get paid poorly because Mongo and Postgres already exist. You get paid well if you know whether a document store or a RDS is the best fit for the systems problem at hand based on a careers worth of experience.

As someone who has done both for a living, it's shocking how much overlap there is (overlap that I assume exists in among doctors, accountants, consultants).

Not sure where you are getting that information from. This is not 2012 and all your talking points have been discredited during the ACA debates. There is no queue for major surgery there is a priority. The systems I’m familiar with are French, German, Japanese and UK. Guess what, most of the providers are private. Your doctors, pharmacies, clinics and surgeons all have a private practice. You pay the government and the government pays them. When our son was sick the doctor would drive over to check on him. She also proposed some elective procedures that we could have the state pay for or elect to pay ourselves to get it done immediately.

My DMV is called FLHSMV but everyone calls it the DMV. Because that’s what they are known as nationally. They have moved some services online (renewal, address change) but most services still require an office visit, like voter registration.

Income distribution in Western Europe is quite healthy. A lot less so on the eastern and southern sectors. The US middle class is definitely shrinking even with tax cuts. So, I hypothesize taxes have nothing or little to do with it.

It won’t, of course. But Nintendo has chosen to defend their trademarks always - which is a simple solution, doesn’t require anyone to make a decision “should we allow this or not”. This case might’ve been an easy call to allow, but by always doing this, for all cases, they don’t need internal discussions on more grey area instances.

Learning is expensive in terms of your own time and the time of an expert teaching you.

Bummer. I was fully prepared to exhibit this amazing bit of work at my new retro-computing exhibit [1], and I expect it would have been inspiring for a lot of local indie game developers to have had the chance to see it in person ..

Well, instead, I'll just focus on some of the other gem releases of the retro-dev scene, and fortunately there are a LOT of other great works being produced for these old machines - of limited commercial value - but massive cultural worth. Still, seeing a near-perfect port of Super Mario Bros. on the old C64 is an amazing thing, and fills me full of inspiring thoughts. Bummer, Nintendo.

Strange article, at least for me. A little of what the author says resonates with me but most is a hard ‘no’.

Killing music? Well maybe some people listen to too much music. The author likes highly polished written material (so do I; I have written several books and I am a voracious reader - I am just finishing the very good 66 hour audio book Jerusalem) but there is also a nice human connection hearing someone’s voice and spontaneous interactive dialog.

I listen to the podcast Exponential View (and sometime the MIT AGI class interviews by Lex Firdman) while I am at the gym. I am not a huge fan of going to the gym but keeping up with new tech and the social changes caused by tech while I work out makes the experience better.
Full-stack solution for fast PWA development
Hi,

Sirix.io is all about efficient versioning of your data. That is on the one hand it reduces the storage cost of storing a new revision during each transaction-commit while balancing read- and write-performance through a novel sliding snapshot algorithm and dynamic page compression. On the other hand Sirix supports easy query capabilities for instance to open a specific revision by a timestamp or revisions by a given timespan, to navigate to future or past versions of nodes in the tree-structure and so on. It basically never overwrites data and is heavily inspired by ZFS and Git and borrows some ideas and puts these to test on the sub-file level.

In stark contrast to other approaches Sirix combines copy-on-write semantics with node-level versioning.

It all started around 2006 as a university / Ph.D. project of Marc Kramis and I already spend my Bachelor's Thesis, Master's Thesis as well as several HiWi-Jobs on the project and I'm still more eager than ever to put forth the idea of a versioned, analytics plattform to perform analytical tasks based on current as well as the history of the data.

I've been working a lot on Sirix.io the last couple of months and spent most evenings after my day to day software engineering Job. I had already posted around christmas, but now I've added a native JSON storage layer besides XML, that is the storage itself, XQuery extensions for JSON for joint XML- and JSON-querying, a RESTful-API also for JSON, added a website, a forum and first documentation... :-) and last night I release version 0.9.0.

So, any feedback, comments, suggestions, just everything is more than welcome. I'll happily answer any questions you might have.

kind regards Johannes

I agree that the anti-science Republicans are a laughing stock. But so are the anti-science Democrats. That's my point. Stop making it political because everyone is a laughing stock at this point.

And agricultural civilization didn't emerge from a stable climate. As best as we know, it started in anatolia 11000 years ago during a global warming phase when most of the glaciers melted.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Younger_Dryas

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/ancient-urine-reve...

And agriculture survived ices and warmings in the past 10000 years. As I noted, we experienced a little ice age from around 1300s to the 1800s. We had 500 years of ice age and agriculture is still around.

Well people have always been terrified about something. Go read about Malthus and what he predicted. Hell, you don't even have to go that far. Do you remember peak oil? I do. Do you remember Y2K? I do? Remember that asteroid scare? Which one you ask? Exactly.

Climate change is going to be devastating for sure. But not the politicized "human climate change", the real natural climate change. And the natural climate change isn't anything we can really control, no more than the orbit of the planets.
Oil changes belong in here somewhere too.

I'm not sure if oil changes are the biggest source of profit, but they probably are the highest volume service. And those get customers in the shop for generally unnecessary upsells (like pumping cleaner into the climate control system to "flush" it? that is a scam, right?).

I just don't think that's true. You don't make a decision like what kind of car to buy in a single day. If you're doing your research and comparing options, and the prices are shifting out from under you every couple of weeks it makes for a frustrating experience. Reviews and press coverage might be tailored to a particular price point and be difficult to interpret if the price has shifted since the reviewer wrote it.

Even if you're fixated on getting a Tesla, not many people have enough cash on hand to buy a Tesla straight out of their checking account. Nonliquid assets often take a while to turn into cash for large purchases. Every time Tesla raises prices or cuts low-cost products, they cause resentment among people in the process of buying their car. Every time Tesla lowers prices or substantially enhances their existing products, they cause resentment among people who have just recently bought their car. You never know when Tesla is going to announce a shakeup to their product line and make a fool out of anyone who bought their car the month before. It's sort of a corollary Osborne effect. I think the continuous delivery model for hardware enhancement is just asking for trouble. A "model year" approach with fixed hardware costs through the year and continuous software updates would make more sense.

That's a strange set of complaints for a clojure advocate, since most of what they're complaining about is not too much syntax but too little - no mandatory braces, mandatory brackets, mandatory types. Indeed "a -> b" for "(a, b)" is not syntax or even a macro, but just a function.

_ is genuinely costly syntax, as are by-name parameters (though less costly in an age of IDEs). I consider _ to be worth its while (indeed I miss it a lot when writing lambdas in any other language); if you're going to have syntax in your language at all then it's one of the most general-purpose, effective constructs I've seen.
Talk about a stupid argument. Podcasts are too broad a category to hate that way. You can hate certain types of podcast, but claiming to hate them all is more about your preconceived ideas about the format than anything else.

The choice of podcasts vs music is contrived and nonsensical, because there are podcasts that are entirely about music.

What about podcasts featuring staged dramatic content (Welcome to Nightvale), podcasts with curated content from around the internet (Best of the Left), podcasts that are literally just recordings of actual radio shows (all of NPR's content), educational podcasts?

I listen to podcasts about coding in JavaScript, getting to hear library authors explain their own work in real-time. Where else could you get niche content like that?

My Ph.D. advisor gave me his copy when I was just getting started with my thesis, almost twenty years ago. I remember spending 6-7 very intense weeks with it. It gave me most of the mathematical/logical background specific to databases I needed to finish what was primarily a DB focused dissertation. I kept coming back to it all through my studies and later.

If you ever need to design a logically sound query processor/optimizer and/or data storage layer, this is a book you should study.

It still sits on my bookshelf, waiting for the student whose interest in databases is deeper than dujourDB, so that I can pass it down to them.

How is it related to the topic?
The article talks about Robert J. Lang (https://langorigami.com), but he deserves more than a passing mention if we're talking about origami. He's a physicist/mathematician at NASA, an AMS Fellow, and also one of the top origamists in the world.

Here's a video showing his extraordinary origami insects: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYoTCssVyJU

He wrote dozens of papers about the mathematics of origami over the years, and last year he came out with a gorgeous book on the subject: Twists, Tilings, and Tessellations: Mathematical Methods for Geometric Origami (https://www.amazon.com/Twists-Tilings-Tessellations-Mathemat...)

He also has a bunch of origami books with "regular" animal models, but they tend to be on the complex end of the spectrum, so they're not for beginner origamists.

He also developed TreeMaker, which is a software tool for systematically designing folding patterns from a model specification: https://langorigami.com/article/treemaker/ (some of his complex insect models are based on TreeMaker folding patterns)

It's interesting that a lot of readers here and websites in the U.S are saying oil changes every 3,000 or 5,000 miles. This is absolutely not the case in Europe where most cars are on 10,000 or 20,000 mile intervals. I wonder if this is due to much more diverse weather and temperatures you see in the U.S throughout the year and so different grades of oil are required that degrade much faster.

Fitbit was sued by Fitbug and while likely would have had a strong claim of infringement the court found Fitbug lost its rights to enforce the mark against Fitbit because the delay in eneforcement.

Similarly Eat Right Foods lost a similar case for their mark “Eat Right” to Whole Foods for their delay in enforcing the mark.

The mark holder doesn’t have to take action in every infringement as you say, of course...but if it can be proven the mark holder knew or should have known that’s kind of the threshold legal issue.
