Disclaimer: Wolfram employee here. Opinions here are mine, and not the company's.

Having used the Wolfram Language and Mathematica professionally for over seven years I think this is much cooler than the people who greenlighted this within the company realize. If there is one thing I love about the Wolfram Language is how fast it is to prototype something with it.

Given the scope of the language (or what you call standard library), most things that would require finding some external dependency, then writing some shim, are there out of the box. Whenever I have a weekend project idea it's always very very fast to prototype in the Wolfram Language.

Now, you don't want to use it in production because it's not open-source, fine. This license doesn't even allow that use anyway. But if you want to do a prototype, some MVP for an investor demo, a hackathon, then it's free and it's extremely powerful.

Most of the complaints here are about why you wouldn't build a company on our tech stack or why non-libre software is bad in production, but building production software is not what is being given away here, all the rest is.
When it comes to any user experience dealing with a touch-screen in a vehicle, I don't want to wow myself into the hospital. I love my TM3 but the UI could use some tweaking and I wished we had the ability to alter it.
> having these tags give the document a structure that makes it easier for machines to understand

What is a machine supposed to do with the <html> tag? It's entirely useless and tells you nothing. At best it could be used to identify file type, but the doctype has long since replaced that usage and that still wouldn't justify any reason for the end tag.

Similarly for <head> and <body>. They don't really do anything. There's no machine-useful structure to be had from that.

For some of the optional end tags sure, that definitely helps make things easier for machines to understand. That's why XHTML exists. It's not really used, though, but if you really want easy to understand document structure for machines you wouldn't go anywhere close to HTML in the first place and instead use XHTML.
The purpose of the mail (or any business) is not employing people.
No one thought that was a good idea. The good idea is to prevent add-on authors from stealing private browsing history.
Isn't this just the ZTE ban all over again? Trump seems to completely believe that China owns these companies, so targeting the companies becomes a legitimate strategy in his trade war. I would be surprised if any Chinese company was completely free from Party control, but that doesn't intrinsically justify the ban. I would also be surprised if any American tech company was completely free from NSA influence. I will be surprised if the ban lasts, but it has already hurt US credibility as a reasonable trade partner.
I think it is a national security argument which basically means the 5 eyes countries have to follow suit.
That's the difference. In an autonomous urban driving environment a monitor is expected to have full situational awareness at all times because driving in cities is a hugely complex process. A truck driving 1,100 miles on I-80 would not need to be monitored as closely, if at all, because that driving process is far simpler. This kind of highway driving accounts for the majority of over-the-road freight.

"Monitor" might be a misnomer, here, in that the monitor isn't expected to be actively watching what the truck is doing; rather the monitor would be expected to respond to infrequent issues and maybe handle off-highway driving to and from shipping and receiving facilities.
This may give some sense of what it can do:

We're not talking about it because it's not something that's guaranteed, and we may change it in the future. See above :)

There's no "determining", it's just literally whichever write happens last. This is enough for many use-cases, though obviously not all of them.

We'd like to offer additional options, to let people build more and more cool stuff. It's going to take time, though. Stay tuned!
I was with the author until the diversity and equity part. Why does everything have to boil down to skin color and gender? I don't see why you need to offer this for a tech conference. It should be about ability and topics.

Edit: I already regret making this post.
Some of the loneliest people are the elderly who have lost their mobility and cannot get around easily. This often happens in your 80s.
That's not used in literature or journalism, but in most other cases (forms, etc) it is pretty standard.
Why would the mobile OS be different? If you sell hardware you don't want to make money from selling licenses and handling the support for a mobile OS. As a hardware company I would prefer the OS to be open source and have the patches mainlined into the kernel if possible.

What I dislike in this topics is the fact US people will assume the worst about a thing if is somehow related to China, there is nothing suggesting that Huawei would not respect GPL.
Cool, we'll destroy a public service that hundreds of millions of people rely on just so we don't inconvenience you any further.

It works in open source for a decade or two. Cities need continuity over much longer time horizons.
Wolfram language has a very different syntax that Matlab or really any other programming language, and it has a lot of lisp-like metaprogramming capability. It's not as well thought-out as a proper lisp like Clojure, it's verbose and there's a lot of weird corner cases.

The editor is very different as well: Mathematica pioneered the notebook concept that was copied by Jupyter, and the Mathematica user experience is still much more comprehensive and tightly integrated than anything else.

For linear algebra, they both use Intel MKL under the hood and get exactly the same performance.

Odd. Reading this thread makes me think that some want FB not to be a critical component because it makes a good premise for the argument of letting them do whatever they want.
Most programming languages are open source (or have an open source skin). Most frameworks in any language are open source. As are most commonly used libraries.
Which foreign company has China destroyed using it's foreign policies? What China is doing is limit foreign company access to it's market. The equivalent would be US saying Huawei cannot sell in the US, which is totally fine. But this case is not. Huawei is stricted from doing business with any US entity. This order is essentially designed to completely destroy Huawei and damage Huawei in other countries whom might not side with the US or shares US concern. Keep in mind that in the situation where Huawei buys a component from a company not under US control, say a chip from TSMC, if said component contains any US IP or made component, Huawei still cannot buy it. In the world of technology, this is crippling. Regardless of which political camp people are on, I think this case demonstrates regardless how much US companies sell themselves as global and trusted, they are still US companies and beholden to US politics, and can be used as weapons in advancing US political agenda. Second, this also demonstrates as digital technology becomes as fundamental as electricity, water and air in each of the world's society, a lot of it is monopolized by the US and you are under the hands of the US to use said technology. I think it's very important for each Nation to develop it's own digital technology and true open source systema(hint Android for it to be truely useful is not as open as people think). I think technology people should focus on providing every person on Earth equal access to technology to improve everyone's lives.
That doesn't seem to be included into this free engine, only command line access
Agreed.

If the shutter fails to open to spec, would you want them to know about it and have data to improve it via a firmware update or next version of the product?

Please read my post, and really read it :). I am not saying all data is theirs, I am saying it depends on the type of data and I don't want to see no data being shared.

Small potatoes. I can't imagine legal action helping much. Move on from the unpleasant experience and help others who face greater injustices.
Personally I think this is a matter of translation. In English the personal name comes first followed by the surname. In Japanese honorifics come after the name but it would be quite silly to ask foreign media to call Abe Shinzo "Abe Shinzo Mr." instead of "Mr. Abe Shinzo" or for an American to ask British media to not refer to American mothers as "mum". Sometimes localizing a name means altering it.
This was a main focus of a huge amount of research backing Regan's "SDI" - Strategic Defense Initiative, back in the 80s. [1]

The field of wavefront adaptive optics[2] was a major civilian-side outcome of that work, with eventual impacts on human vision correction (e.g. LASIK, esp. for people w/ major astigmatism) and ground-based astronomy.

I don't think Tesla offer anything but common stock, and although Musk owns the largest portion it would be possible to buy out all the other institutional investors and obtain a majority. Probably would need a substantial premium on the price, but hey, everyone has a price.
I like the idea of adding more goodies to the shipments! Hoping to get to that soon. That, and greeting cards.

The key challenge with the experiment was a sales challenge. At the time, I didn't have too much runway. The sales cycle was longer than I could afford.

But speaking of chocolate, one idea I had was to send giant chocolate bars to the nursing home directors to get their attention :)
At one time or another, I attended a talk given by wolfram and asked roughly the same question.

His response belittled the question, calling it naive. His smugness was astoundingly tone deaf.

Until he figures out how to answer questions like this without using shame to cow developers into line, I’m staying away.
wasn't a big part of the pickup truck success story that the government required lower safety standards on them compared to passenger vehicles? like, it worked out that trucks were more profitable and less costly to the end consumer or something. so that's what car companies made.
Have you ever been to a an actual city in your life? The most affluent neighborhoods are the ones with excellent transit. Look at downtown and midtown Manhattan.
he had sponsors and others reaching out to him to ask what is going on. I don't think they plan on turning off twitter too.
Because there's a well-known imbalance, and not everything balances itself. Sometimes fairness requires stepping in and lending a helping hand to right an imbalance.
Did you even read the interview? Yeah China blocks many companies, but that's in CHINA, one market only. It never goes out of its way to try to strangle a company, forbids Chinese company to supply a foreign company downstream. You always have the options to not enter the Chinese market. Not in this case, that's not comparable at all.
Apple Launches Improved MacBook Pro Keyboard
> Okay. But being necessary and being private property are two independent properties. Which is a problem because it means that some people must use something they aren't allowed to use.

Well the crux of my argument is that they don't need Facebook, thus it is not a problem. Not having access to Facebook might be very inconvenient, but nobody has a right to convenience. At the end of the day you can't prevent Facebook from regulating the use of its own private property. Facebook users don't pay fees to keep the network running so I can't fathom any sane regulation that could prevent Facebook from arbitrarily limiting user access to their network except where it relates to the user's control of their own personal data.

> individuals can't. When they need a communications platform, they need the communications platform other people use. Which is Facebook.

Or GSM, or SMS, or Email, or iMessage, or Snapchat, or WhatsApp, or Skype, or Telegram, or KiK, or Hangouts, or Slack, or Discord, or IRC or... you get the point. The idea that Facebook is the only option for communication is very clearly not true.

Apple tweaks its MacBook keyboard design yet again, expands repair program
I think the way these people reacted confirms that it would be a very bad idea to have them at any conference. I wish they were named so I could avoid them now.

I woke up one day recently and "knew" what a co-worker had done wrong. He pasted steps of his issue with screenshots. Having slept on it I realized he had misspelled a server name. I have no idea how I discovered that or realized that while I was sleeping. But there it was.

Agree. This is, actually, a regular (if not standard) practice in many domains of academic bibliography for Chinese authors (which is useful, as some individuals with Chinese personal and family names working in Anglophone contexts do follow the English convention of putting personal names first -- meaning that you often can't tell which is the personal and which is the family name in pinyin, e.g. "Li Jia")

Fun fact: Han Chinese surnames are almost always one character, but there are a very few that are two characters[1] -- usually, they're very old, very aristocratic names. E.g. "Sima 司馬", "Ouyang 歐陽", and "Zhuge 諸葛".

I understand the idea of having drivers take over in dense urban areas, and letting the truck drive itself along the highway between cities. But this assumes the truck is capable of safely navigating along the highway with zero human intervention. An inattentive driver/monitor is no better than no driver when something unexpected happens and requires a sub-second reaction. If they can do that then they're in business, but I am skeptical.
> I really don't like that attitude where everything that's not mainstream should just die.

I'm not being normative i.e. trying to persuade you that Gopher _should_ die, in my opinion.

I'm being descriptive i.e. describing the world in which we live where Gopher _is_ dead.
Why can't we just write names as "Smith, John" when it's in the Asian order and "John Smith" or "John·Smith" if its in the Western order? It would remove all the ambiguity using already existing conventions.
I think the real problem these days is more of a "she-said/its over for him" regardless of actual facts. So it is hard to blame someone to now be in "cover-your-arse-mode". And yes, this climate is the fault of the edge cases of both genders, equally the creeps who overstep boundaries and and the liars who smear innocent people for personal gain.
Apple introduces new MacBook Pro, says it fixed the keyboard
Maybe, but that doesn't change that there's not a lot of value here as far as any given he said he said type situation.

I can belive the writer, it really changes nothing as far as who they're describing as I've still no idea who they are / the author isn't really changing my opinion about anything.
From what I can tell, the main difference between Wolfram and Matlab/Julia (other than syntax) is a database of various facts. Is that a fair assessment?

Is there a way to access the database without the language?

I meant that as internationally.

Alibaba and Tencent is having major growth in the Asia markets faster than North American companies. You have to ask why that is, and the answer is that they're more willing to help the country their moving to. Look at the backlash that Amazon and Google is seeing from their employees when they try to sell surveillance to the government. Having worked at Tencent, I assure you that no one will object when they sell WeChat and WeChat tracking to Malaysia or Indonesia or Saudi Arabia.
should we be aggressively encouraging men to take up nursing?
No, don't do it. The people that attend churches are the most egotistical, delusional, and vapid people you'll meet. Think of an elderly, out of touch grandmother, getting to tell people how they should lead their lives.

Death is just an "emotionally loaded topic"? I think it's perfectly reasonable to have principles, but value those principles less than human life. In fact, I wish more people did that.

There are plenty of cases where we can and do make exceptions to personal privacy for public benefit, under certain guidelines. E.g. medical data is one of the few things that's actually private by law in the US, but we still find way to make aggregate data available for epidemiological studies. Location data is absolutely sensitive data, but there are valid reasons to make subsets of it available for the public benefit.
I think this is why the invented Access.
That comparision is also misleading, arguably more. The title should be "Apple tried to buy Tesla shares for more than they are currently worth": 2013 shareholders would have done much better by selling at $240 then rather than holding down to $205 six years later.
> There's a difference between people feeling as if their safety is being directly threatened by someone at a conference and someone feeling uncomfortable with a speaker because of, for instance, some of their personal views that they strongly disagree with.

Yeah, also if you see me in the corner of your vision and remember that I wore a red shirt, I’m going to need you to forget that. That’s my data.

If you brushed past me on the metro, I’d like you to avoid collecting my DNA off my clothes or hair. I didn’t give you that consent. So don’t do it.

If you’re driving up to a pedestrian crossing and you use posture, direction, eye contact, etc. to determine if someone is attempting to cross the road or not, you should first ask for consent.

This non-consensual invasion of my data, of what is me, stored in other people’s memories, some of whom are sex offenders, is outrageous. The fact that people (even on HN) say things like “I saw him at DEFCON” is unacceptable. Who gave them the right to broadcast my behaviour?

The real problem is that people have been violating our privacy non-stop. I am certain that at least one sex offender has seen a child, stored a snapshot of him in his memory, and then gone home to have a wank. That should be illegal.
It looked like people were paying money for food. Did they indeed pay, or was some food free? How did that work?
I do volunteer, and it certainly puts me in contact with others, mostly people I would not know otherwise. But I suspect that it is possible to be around other people a fair bit and remain lonely.
But we don't usually reorder Chinese and Korean names, and before the Meiji era Japanese names weren't reordered (or rather, we don't reorder the names of historical figures!?), so it's Tokugawa Ieyasu not Ieyasu Tokugawa.

I would argue it's not just a "strange oversight", a lot of the article falls apart with that knowledge. The article continues with:

"This is because we have a different label for when different corporations get together and determine the cost for their services. We call it price fixing. And price fixing, under the Sherman Antitrust Act, is illegal."

However, such a practice is legal and is very well known. Musicians do it, and a lot of other skilled labor have similar things (I seem to recall IBEW is another such organization).
Did we read the same article? He turned her speaker position down because of her pattern of vengeful, childlike behavior. She acted completely in line with what her reputation would suggest and pursued a personal harassment campaign.
