Paper records can't be remotely hacked, accessed, and deleted. Most finance people I know operate digitally but archive using paper.

Vint Cerf, an integral figure in internet lore, fears that much of the knowledge gained in the 21st century will eventually be lost due to our inability to preserve and reformat digital data[0].

Going fully digital has its costs too.

When Nobody Shows Up to My Conference Talk
Well, apart from the incredible standard library, there is an interesting programming language.

What I think is missing is a stripped down open source implementation / interpreter. What Gnu Octave is to Matlab. That stripped down variant could or could not share some code with the proprietary implementation (realistically, Wolfram would need to open some parts of their code).

I think octave is invaluable for helping Mathworks: Professional users will almost surely buy a license, but a lot of matlab/octave code can be run and hacked on without a mathworks license (albeit slower, and missing a lot of cool features).

The way it is now, all code written by scientists in the Wolfram language is essentially hostage to Wolfram. An octave equivalent would permit people to trust that they continue to meaningfully own their own code.

It is super unlikely that a stripped down slow but open implementation would ever improve to the point of being a meaningful competitor: The thing Wolfram has built is impossible to replicate in the open source world.

Sure, there are other computer algebra systems and other frameworks / languages, but these have very different strengths and weaknesses that make them appropriate for different niches. E.g. sage permits seamless interfacing with the entire python ecosystem (never write a parser or networking code in mathematica! Everybody and his dog publishes python bindings to their C++ libraries nowadays). Or julia with its multiple dispatch and late-AOT/JIT approach that permits permits to write super fast dynamic code that is Fortran / C / C++ level fast.
Just replaced the battery and threw new thermal paste on my Mid-2014 15" for $300. Discrete graphics, no TouchBar and a keyboard with travel. I hope this thing runs for another 5 years.
Ok i will try.
There are some really cool custom Thinkpads shoving new guts into the classic T60 body. I guess it's not really feasible for MacBooks? I looked for a 2012 or 2013 body with new hardware but nothing.

My 2013 is still working, but the screen hinge is loose and it's probably wearing on the display cable. Nothing new there, though. The display cable was the first thing to fail on my white iBook around 2005.

Wish I still had the Macintosh Portable with the built in carrying handle and roller ball I found at a garage sale! Now that would be a neat mod. Talk about a good keyboard.
This is a really great idea and well executed. Thank you.
End-to-end encryption of metadata and data costs almost nothing these days. In terms of liability, knowing anything about clients' data or metadata present unreasonable risks.

Take Lisp code written in the last 50 years and odds are that Common Lisp, Emacs Lisp or Scheme can run it with zero/minimal/moderate modifications.

Clojure needs a total and complete rewrite which doesn't only affect the syntax but program logic. Thus Clojure does not run Lisp code. How can it be a Lisp when it does not run Lisp code?
Regardless of whether you agree with the author's position on diversity, perhaps it would be better to focus on the crimes being committed against the author (the point of the article) instead?

Will it be possible to use 8 cores effectively given the thermal limitations of such a thin device? I wouldn't be surprised if the 6 core model gives about the same level of performance for most workloads as the 8 core one.
> The internet I grew up on didn't charge money for IRC, Blogspot, forums, mailing lists, Stack Overflow, etc.

Most of those things were and are maintained by unpaid volunteers, some of them spending their own money every month to keep the servers on.

Which is awesome. I applaud anyone who's willing and able to give to the community like that. But a lot of people now act like it's inherently repugnant to want to be paid for your work, like digital content shouldn't exist unless it's a self-funded hobby. I don't think that's reasonable or realistic.

Just to be clear, is it just Medium you don't like, or the entire concept of paying for content? I'm seeing both.
I'm not sure that just any community would be a substitute for church. Most churches are not groups in the sense that you're describing above. Yes, most congregations share a common theology, but the people in the group are often very different personalities, ages, backgrounds. Even super conservative less diverse congregations I know preach unity of the international church, go on mission trips, etc.

The problem with modern substitutes seems to be that they are extremely narrow and probably very temporal (Keto diet fanatics, cross-fit buffs, even gay bars seem to be past their glory days). Much of the unity of the church body comes from a connection to ancestors and a sense that one is, cultural differences aside, a part of the same thing.
One of the reasons I didn't buy a Tesla was because I didn't want Elon tweeting about my actions if something happened and I died on the road. The salesman laughed at me when I said this.

While I acknowledge this is extremely unlikely, I'm still not interested. I want to be in control of all my data, all the time, in all situations. I don't want any third party to benefit from studying my behavior, ever. If you try to build a business model around mining people they are going to start fighting back sooner or later.
Sure if volunteering works for some people, then great!

I'm just saying I have spent a lot of time doing both, and joining a sports team is just more effective if you're trying to make friends. Virtually everyone that joins a team is there to make friends, have fun and maybe get fit. Another unrelated reason is if they are there to compete at the professional level which is totally different situation.
This doesn't work in media that doesn't distinguish letters by case. That's still fairly common for things like forms and other official records that only use capital letters.

> Personally identifying information and Personally generated information need to be clearer

The problem is that with Big Data, there isn't much difference between those two things. Almost all unique data can be combined with other data points to become personally identifying.
that's the theory, but in real life the macbook won't sustain 5ghz for very long at all, even less so with 8 cores. It simply can't get rid of the heat fast enough and throttles the speed to stay under thermal limits (while still toasting your balls).

The situation isn't helped by the GPU inside the same slim mbpro chassis that also gets super hot, it's particularly bad when you run mixed CPU/GPU workloads like rendering. So your desktop ends up being much faster for continuous workloads, even if on paper they both have 8-core 5ghz CPUs.

I had the 2018 6-core i9 mbpro. Got rid of it, if I were to buy a new mbpro again I would get a 4-core one.
I was attacked in the same manner this weekend. I'll dump what I know below in the hopes it helps someone.

I lost money when MTGox went under and made some online posts (on reddit, I think) several years ago. Maybe this is what caused me to be targeted?

This weekend a malicious actor posing as the account holder on my account was able to get my number transferred to his phone. At&t fraud says this happened at a store, and the user had the last 4 of one of my family member's social security number, as well as a fake id. I'm not sure I believe this, but will request more info in writing.

I regained access to my account. The attacker came from IP 216.162.42.85 (santa clara california)

They entered my email and according to google activity logs immediately went after my coinbase account. They got in (joke's on them I didn't have anything). Then they searched my email for 'btc', and also made a visit to my bank website. They weren't able to get access.

As far as I can tell, they were in and out within 10 minutes. I wonder if this was related to the author's experience?
I recently got a Purism Librem 13 and it's been golden. The only thing I miss from MacBooks is the touchpad. I did replace their PureOS with stock Ubuntu, which was a breeze and probably improved performace due to proprietary drivers.

And there is the victim blaming.
> you know perfectly well why they are doing the things they do, what value system informs their actions. So what's the point of protesting it here like you're bewildered about it?

For me, it's fascinating how people can adhere to an ideology that is so overtly inconsistent. I like to hear the ways people try to reconcile such obvious inconsistencies. And one person's "bewilderment" is another person's "giving the benefit of the doubt that the ideologue is not so stupid as to espouse obviously self-defeating beliefs" which is necessary if the conversation is to have any hope of being productive.
Who cares if it's an 8 core that boosts to 5 GHz? The cooling on Macbooks is thrash and it will throttle on sustained multithread workloads.

> Perhaps I would be talking to "Cheng"

In my experience, while it is common for a Chinese personal name to be one syllable, it's not at all common for a person to be addressed by that one-syllable name. There are several strategies:

1. A person with a one-syllable name might be addressed by their whole name. For example, a 孙艺 might be called 孙艺 in speech, even though 孙 is the family name.

2. The person might have a nickname. For example, I know someone who goes by his nickname 哈哈; I've never heard his actual name.

3. The one-syllable name might be reduplicated; 袁璐 might be addressed as 璐璐.

4. The one-syllable name might be prefixed with 小; 李宁 might be addressed as 小宁.

Options 3 and 4 are diminutive constructions and may be too intimate for a strange man (or even a familiar man) to use to a woman.
Probably because that's what consumers buy.

My car has Android Auto and I know eventually it's going to stop working with new phones and that sucks. On the other hand, having Waze or Google Maps and access to my podcast player and all the other neat things it can do is pretty compelling. My wife's car has a built-in GPS and maps function that is always out of date and we have to pay for updates.
That's not my impression at all. To me, it deepens their accomplishment by acknowledging the headwinds faced by women in tech.

Your proposed headline would be a fine lead-in to an article solely about a research accomplishment, but this is also an article about two people making inroads towards better gender representation in STEM fields.
I think hardware stuff is an expected exception because there are basically no open-source architectures.
I'm the least NIMBY person you will find. I think they should build 30 story towers of housing on that property and make 1/2 of it affordable.

I'm not at all against housing on that site. I think it's critical that we put housing there.

I'm against that developer putting offices on the site that would create a housing deficit.

> There is inconsistency in your very post about whether you want affordable housing (which you have not proposed a funding mechanism for) or retail on the site

I proposed a tax on the retail to fund the affordable housing.

I'm a huge supporter of SB 50.

The last accident I got in (a fender-bender) was about 10 years ago -- and only myself and the other driver knew about it. No insurance companies or police were ever told.
Their progress in getting good response times out of an e-ink display is pretty impressive but one has to wonder about their frontlight. If it does dimming through the usual PWM mechanism, the flickering caused is known to induce eyestrain and other problems IIRC.

Also, one has to wonder why they haven't tried a 30" display yet. I'd back that in a heartbeat.
GE's hotline for suspected adverse reactions is 1-800-654-0118

The city has excellent food, art, music, and other culture. In the suburbs I can't go see a world class gallery of modern art. Or go see a musical. Or go see live jazz. Or go to a bar that specializes in modern cocktails. It is also a capital of activism and support for the LGBT community.

Cities aren't for everybody. Some people really want green spaces and SF doesn't really offer much there but to think that there are no benefits is just wrong.
I like that this article gives me more reasons than I already had to admire everybody involved, even the writer.
I dunno, I used to recommend a lot of relatives -- aunts & uncles, nephews and nieces in school -- buy macbook airs, particularly when they were $900 / $1k-ish out the door.

Now that they're $1400 w/ 16g ram / $1500 out the door, I recommend them to no one. $1.5k is just too much money for a basic laptop.
Unfortunately, there are no open source alternatives to kdb+. Effortlessly handling hundreds of terabytes of data on a single machine, while consisting of only a 300 kB (yes, kilobytes)... Nobody even came close.

Market adoption could be better, but the license costs around $100,000/year (probably the most expensive software per kilobyte). Fintech can afford it, other industries can’t.

You can not drive 2100 miles on a single tank of fuel.
There is an imbalance, but no unfairness (or at least no established unfairness--and to the extent that there is an unfairness, it probably runs in the opposite direction due to the aggregate actions taken on behalf of a popular political ideology that conflates "imbalance" and "unfairness").
Web and mobile are such a huge chunk of our everyday lives now though that I would dare say that everything else pales in comparison.

And Apple has had the mindshare of that crowd for quite some time now. But...

Personally, I despise working with both Windows and current generation of Linux desktops. They are clunky, inconsistent, cluttered etc. However, they are improving (albeit slowly sometimes) while Apple's "pro" offerings are degrading at an alarming rate. And with the impending advent of Marzipan we might see an exodus of pro users from MacOS.

Pop culture, that's it. A rather known and obvious approach at web development needed a catchy name and dedicated promotional website so that webdevs know that's cool and trendy.

Alan Kay said in 2004: «You could think of it as putting a low-pass filter on some of the good ideas from the ’60s and ’70s, as computing spread out much, much faster than educating unsophisticated people can happen. In the last 25 years or so, we actually got something like a pop culture, similar to what happened when television came on the scene and some of its inventors thought it would be a way of getting Shakespeare to the masses. But they forgot that you have to be more sophisticated and have more perspective to understand Shakespeare. What television was able to do was to capture people as they were.
So I think the lack of a real computer science today, and the lack of real software engineering today, is partly due to this pop culture.»

We should totally create a bias toward minorities for things like speaking engagements. And also - that imbalance will always be there.

It's so well documented at researched at this point that the imbalance is at least partially driven by differences in fundamental interests between genders ("things" vs "people"). You see this with nurses just as much as you see it with engineers.

But, these are all averages and distribution, so plenty of work to do to make sure those that aren't in the average can still pursue their interests without facing such an uphill battle. Conference speaking seems like a good way to help. But the goal of "balance" as 50/50 is not a good goal.
The private spaces are closed off, of course. But, the floor plan has a few large rooms, not many small rooms that could be closed off. One could do it that way, I presume.
Agreed, I'd be quite happy if there was an option to simplify the UI.
To make things worst, out of all the laptop vendor Apple is the only one with their own SSD controller, which is not a small percentage of BOM cost in SSD. And they are one of the few that gets favourable NAND pricing due to the volume they move with iPhone and iPad.
Ive been waiting for a tutorial like this. I am most likely doing something wrong, but sadly the code samples do not function as listed. Even cloning the repo and executing the commands listed only results in errors after the first step.
You're making a lot of assumptions there bud - I'm just trying to point out that "have children to cure loneliness" seems as bad of advice as "have children to save the marriage".
>Just talk to me like a I'm a fellow human, it's not that hard!

I can't/don't talk to anyone at work the way I talk to "fellow humans." When I see friends from work off the clock, that's when I treat them like fellow humans. I can't talk to them like that at the office.

Working in software, I am much more socially reserved and careful in my choice of words than at any of the blue collar jobs I've had. I can see the social pressure, I can read the norms. Telling me just to be me isn't going to work, I'm not _that_ socially oblivious.
You can't fairly judge modern churches by the text of ancient books. Most churches have abandoned a literal interpretation of ancient holy books in favor of some variation of the idea that God's true message was distorted, embellished, or censored by the flawed humans who recorded it.
I'm not trying to shit on anyone, just lucky to live in an area of abundance where $200 can go a very long way if you do your homework and don't internalize status/marketing expectations.

Indeed if it weren't for people pursuing the new shiny, I'd have to pay at least 10x for the same utility. But as it is I'm glad to re-purpose/reuse. I have no delusions that I'm not a scavenger in this economic realm. Though I do appreciate a solid "grandpa" car that seats 6 and can tow a few thousand pounds and can still get 30mpg on the highway.
Better yet, learn to drive on a motorcycle, looking over your shoulder becomes a natural reflex.

I've read that another problem is that unlike in the US with its relative cultural homogeneity, people in Europe are less willing to move where jobs are. The result is less efficient population distribution. EDIT: fixed typo.
I checked, to get a replacement sim my carrier sends out inactive cards that needs to be activated through their web service using the printed number on the card.

If you don't have an account you need to contact customer service, and to get through there they most likely authenticate you based on your SSN and an already active app on your phone (BankID) where you input your personal password.

This has actually created problems when people get their stuff stolen abroad. The ID application is authenticated using your bank and a device using your physical bank card, a generated number from the webpage and your pin and then the generated number is put into the webpage. So if you get both phone and card stolen it's essentially impossible to get into your accounts until you can get a new one posted to you. Especially fun if your bills end up in a digital mailbox requiring that login....

Using that app is how essentially all identification is done in Sweden since it's based on an already approved physical device and a personal password. With your bank as insurance that the information is correct based on your physical bank card and the account associated to it.
