I had Termius installed on my phone for years, and uses it very occasionally in emergency situation when I don't have my notebook around or when wifi is not available. I tried several other apps and eventually settled with Termius and keep it on my iPhone and my iPad for years. I do noticed that there are more intense development in the past six months or so, however all the new development are no longer supports older iPhone/iPad where i had Termius installed. I'm not a system admin, and categorised as one of those casual users, personally I never feel the needs to use Terminus Desktop because even for a casual user to switch from what has been setup on the Desktop to a new app is too much of works, but this might be just me...
I feel like companies are already racing for it. Just look at how fast outsourcing has taken place across SMBs and public companies.

Excellent suggestions, I discuss them with the dev team. Would you able to share(roman[at]termius.com) your user stories? What for are you using Termius?
No. It doesn't support investment data at all.

Science funding often needs some one's buyin.
Labor saving devices / robots. If not to do the whole job (because robot shelf stocking is too much right now), then to reduce the amount of people time needed. Better ways to get the goods close to where they need to go and let the workers move it onto the actual shelf.

Or outsource to the shoppers: just drop the palette of stuff where it should be and let the customers find what they want.
The biggest consequence of easy money is market concentration afforded by stock repurchases of the past decade. I don’t know if we will ever be able to return to anything even close to normalized ten-year rate. People couldn’t “deal” with 3% and this goes back to the fact that corporate America simply do not develop high-risk high-return businesses because the hurdle rate is so low. These two factors will lead to a dramatic decrease in innovations.
(Disclaimer: I'm feeling cynical today.)

I assume that elite athletes aren't complete idiots, though. When an interviewer asks them how they got where they are, it's not great PR to say "luck" or "genetics" or "my parents forced me", even if that were the most accurate explanation.

"I worked really hard for it" is the story that people want to hear.

Which is more likely: that cliché statements get repeated because of how true they are, or because of how much people like hearing them? Fiction has always sold much better than nonfiction.

On further thinking I think you're closer to it, I was blindly pattern matching on what looked like function names. Usually in GP the thing being evolved is basically an AST, though sometimes it's something like assembler. That's what I latched on to.

But seen as a string of symbol-value pairs, GA is the proper fit I think.
I assume there are a finite number of these swarms that we can deploy in LEO, both in economic terms as well as dedicating space and spectrum?

I’ve heard of three companies now that want to achieve this. I’m not sure if there’s anything particularly distinctive about one versus the other, other than SpaceX is the only one with the proven launch capacity to bring that much mass to orbit.

I have a lot less faith in Bezos pulling this off, but mostly it seems a waste to start an ISP just to earn Amazon shareholders a larger dividend.
Source? I dont believe they ever said that.
Being killed is probably a bit hyperbolic for most countries, but I would imagine it means that keeping such a predictable routine in a country where you are inherently a target (read: white people in many third world countries with high rates of robbery/violence) can make it easy for you to be targeted for robbery. Or, in limited places, terrorist acts. If the dishwasher's cousin is a small time local criminal and mentions the white family arrives and leaves at a super predictable time, his group of friends may get drunk one night and decide it's an easy payday.
I have this same problem with other banks as well.
> I would rephrase as companies whose express intent is to manipulate people's habits for their own gain. Entertainment is fine as long as it's done in relative good-faith (not gambling or manipulative microtransactions).

Wondering - is Netflix a good company? On one hand, they're a straightforward entertainment company, but on the other hand they optimize content and suggestions on maximizing viewing hours. Their goal is to change habits to watch more and more Netflix.

How about Apple? They sell hardware and software that people like and they try to respect user privacy. But they design their software to aggressively lock users into their own platform and prevent them from trying competitors.

> It can be about empowering people to manage and utilize their own information. It can be about empowering people to create new information.

This is almost exactly Google's mission statement, but most people here would put Google in the gray area.

My point is, almost no company's goal is to make peoples' lives worse. But all companies are fundamentally trying to manipulate people to buy more of their product. The question is if most customers feel good about the company after the transaction, if they feel like they were manipulated "too much".
There's nothing in that link that contradicts what I wrote. My source was an official police alert. I lost the reference, but here is another one from a newspaper (in Spanish):

What about investing it in the planet. Fund lobby groups. Fund companies working on alternative energy tech. There was a (YC funded?) startup on here recently looking to turn air and water into fuel in an efficient enough way. That sort of stuff. Unless the goal is purely to maximise gains of course. Announce "I am investing 10Bn in climate change startups over 50 years", so that people can plan their career around this.

To be honest there's just four of us all working remotely so I've not bumped into this. But I take your points onboard. I will admit I thought the screen sharing capability in Teams was fairly poor, but it's not something we do often and can resort to TeamViewer or something like that if need be. But I do realise that's not an option for folks working in a regimented and heavily controlled environment such as a bank.

Also we're in our mid 40's to 50's so perhaps there's a generational discipline we have with these toys that the young guns may not have :) Don't get me wrong, I was a complete asshole on the college VAX messaging thing back in my teens :)
Woah thanks for the rubber duck link, that’s fun. But wouldn’t unit tests be even better? You “explain” the code line by line via unit test, except at the end of the exercise you have some tests! I’m only suggesting this because in the past few years I’ve basically discovered this approach to rubber ducking (writing tests when confused/something not working, using said tests to even step through code in a smaller context) and it’s been great.
Just a few months back I was porting your version of Rodent's Revenge to Flutter for fun. Maybe I should polish it up a bit and publish it somewhere...

They do it when the cost of automation is less than the cost of labor. In some areas that has already happened, sure. But what's the result when you cause it to happen more?
Well, this reaction explains why people don't like to say it.
Black Mirror Explores a Brave New World of Virtual Sex
Yes, and anti-abortion rhetoric. In general I would say they place more control on women.
First/second/third world stopped being used by academics and journalists, oh gosh, maybe a decade or two ago? After the fall of the Soviet union, but I don't remember how long after. Developed/developing nation replaced them.

As someone else pointed out, "second world" always referred to the Eastern Bloc countries (the soviet states and those allied with them). It never meant "somewhere in between first and third world, in terms of quality of life". That's the mistake.

The language shift was from first/second/third world to developed/developing nation, the mistake is using second world to mean something other than an eastern bloc country; you'd probably be understood, but that meaning was not ever in widespread use.
I hear you, but that's why the greedy optimisation of convenience above all gradually leads to the local mininum of a Brave New World.
Exactly. When a group doesn't file a patent it means they know the idea is worth less than the application fee.
Could you elaborate how the timing of a minimum wage hike now could help with the adjustment to the arrival of automation related job loss? Note: No snark on my part, it seems plausible and I'm generally looking to be able to debate the topic more intelligently.
Don't spend any money until you are sure you'll be getting a return -- def. not on day one.

I've never actually heard of a compensation structure which has >$100k of options to even spend on day one. Most of the time they are vested on a schedule.
It could boost per worker automation, but there will be fewer workers, and less economic output to reinvest into capital (which is essentially automation), so there will be less automation in general.

So higher automation per worker but lower automation per capita.
> inter-generational wealth mobility in the US is quite low, much lower than in most of Europe

I was surprised by this so I looked up a few sources. Not saying it's not true but we must be looking at different sources, here's a chart on "intergenerational earnings elasticity and with only a couple European countries (Italy and UK) slightly above the US:

Manufacturing costs are roughly similar between generics and brand name drugs (say ~$1/pill as an example). A large portion of costs for brand name drugs are in the development and qualification. Generics avoid these costs.

For a brand name drugs, manufacturing costs are a relatively low portion of the price and margins are high (example: $20/pill, 95% gross margin). For generics, manufacturing costs are a larger portion of the price and margins are lower (example: $2/pill, 50% gross margin).

For generics, because a substantial portion of the price is driven by manufactured costs, margins can be increased substantially by a reduction of the manufactured cost (example: cost $1->0.50, price: $2, margin ->75%, a 50% increase in profitability!). For the brand name drug, the same reduction (example: cost $1->0.50, price: $20, margin ->97%) yields less increase in margin. As a result, there is less incentive for the brand name drug to push for the manufacturing cost reduction (whether or not quality is affected.) And if there is a risk of reduced quality, then the brand name has much more to lose, both in terms of profitability and in the value of it's brand name.
What you're saying about uncertainty principle is strange. The principle says the longer the transition takes, the sharper the spectral line can be (but does not have to be, hence the inequality). There is nothing about uncertainty of measurement of time of some point event. The transition is not a point event. If the two states involved in the transition are known, then change of energy is known. How long the transition will take depends on strength and frequency characteristics of the external field, but the energy difference of energy of the molecule after the transition is over does not depend on that.
Ya, and? Isn't that always the case - the owners of finite resources profit. Is there some other way it would be?
To repeat the basic premise of the article, the lack of money is not the problem, the lack of investment opportunities is. That lack is due to insufficient demand in the economy. You can stimulate that demand most easily by increasing the income of the lowest paid workers, who spend money the fastest. It also would produce productivity growth which would boost profits.
> high-demand religion I would guess would be some sort of fringe cult?

Typically less fringe than you may think. Quoting "Visualizing the Transition Out of High-Demand Religions":

> Subjects include disaffiliated Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and Fundamentalist Protestants

Typically these groups express many of the same characteristics as "mainstream" religions due to their age, and share the same elements driving religious decline.
Having the childcare load shift due to a partner's health issue is something that will happen. I have been there and it isn't easy. But personally I was happy to step up and am proud of how I acted in that moment. Sorry to hear about what sounds like your more negative experience.
Sorry, I didn't realise it was rhetorical.

If we discount direct borrowings from Sanskrit, I guess there would be very little left. Something like Pali, essentially.
I moved around as a kid and had to change schools, it definitely made keeping in touch with people hard. I can't do "What's up" with people who aren't near as it gets tiring after a while and I prefer hanging out with people in person. So, most of the friends I have now are either from uni or people who I met in my first job.

Though moving around did help me in one thing. Despite being an introvert, it forced me to try to talk to new people.
> This is a reason why increasing the minimum wage or providing health coverage for low-wage workers is a great way to improve everyone's situation.

We got here by setting policies based on the bottom rather than the middle. The problem isn't that the bottom 5% needs a modest raise, it's that the middle 50% should be making enough to afford to buy a house and they're not.

Price floors don't change that. If anything they make it worse, because most of the new cost of that comes from the middle class in the form of higher prices.

What we really need is to do something about the cost of housing, education and healthcare. And not just subsidizing it -- that's how we got into this mess to begin with. Actually reducing the underlying cost.

The alternative would be combining significant inflation with high interest rates, so that asset prices don't rise from the inflation because of the high interest rates, but wages do.
They'll forever remain on my mind for their rip-off "lifetime hosting". I paid a lot of money for it, and it was supposed to last while the company lasted. But then they were folded into Joyent and the lifetime deals discontinued (with just a little bit limited time hosting offered in compensation).

I have stayed away from them forever since, and warned everybody I could about their terrible business practices.
in some ways, yes, but one difference is that our population is not shrinking.

another is that our debt to GDP ratio is something like 90-100%, but Japan's is more like 200%. yet another is that we don't have the sort of nationalized healthcare system Japan has. also, Japan's been playing the "managed trade" game for decades now and they know how to do it well, whereas the US has been practicing a consumer driven economy better characterized by "free trade."

in order to really become like Japan, we'd have to enlarge our federal level trade negotiation bureaucracy and become more mercantilistic, improve literacy rates and secondary school quality, and become more racially and culturally and linguistically homogeneous, as well as implement extremely strong gun control laws and lower the murder rate.

we'd also need to increase government job-creation spending on infrastructure to the point where we're building bridges to nowhere all over the place, plenty of underutilized airports, etc and create even tighter restrictions on immigration than we have now (yeah, I know Japan is liberalizing immigration, but not very much).
I can momentarily stun myself if I concentrate long enough on the idea of "what if there was just nothing? No universe, no cosmos, no light, no time, no matter. Just nothing." Think about that for a minute or two.
I was the type of high school student that would deliberately spam profanity and other things that would trigger this system just to spite the administrators. Privacy through obfuscation: when alarm bell rings all the time then the alarm bell becomes meaningless.
You’ll still have to filter it on other criteria as well, agreed.
I wish you guys luck! Engineers may be a hard group to sell this to, given how great free desktop terminal emulators are, and how easy it is for an engineer to engineer tooling to generate ~/.ssh/config files from existing sources of truth.

From the research I've done when I was considering using my iPad as a terminal, Termius seemed like hands down the best iOS terminal app. However on macOS, you're going to have to compete with the likes of iTerm2, Kitty, and Alacritty, all very fine open source programs innovating in the terminal space.

Genetic algorithms works well when

0) there is not enough data for you to train a NN, and

1) you have a really huge solution space for the problem that you cannot brutal force, and

2) you can encode each solution into a simple ``string'' (chromosome), and

3) the problem you're trying to solve is not very time critical (GA can take seconds to minutes depending on your problem)

Also, GA can actually utilize many CPU or even GPU cores to solve the problem much faster.
I remember thinking that computer networks would connect people and make the world a better place.

I'm now just about ready to unplug the whole thing and launch it at the sun.

To your point, there are people who are persuaded by assertions.

I personally find it gets even more entrenched when people believe they have seen the evidence with their own eyes. When they see a doctored photo, clip out of context, etc.

Yeah, evolution is amazing as a biological process precisely because no intelligence is needed to get results, albeit after millions or billions of years. But given that we do have intelligence, reliance on a blind method seems pointless other than as a demonstration as in Dawkins' "weasel" demo, that it can work.

Because a potentially interested 4th grader likely won't ever know such a thing exists.

And even if she did, the teacher likely won't let her download and install it from the internet. But if she asks for permission to run a "Install Command Line Tools" app in /Applications/Utilities/ and check the "Install homebrew" option (or "Install MacPorts" - I really don't care either way... perhaps provide options for both), that's far more likely to get a "yes".

I play one "AAA" game: NHL. I buy a ps4 pro for $400 and then every 12 months I have to buy a $70 game and a $60 ps online membership. For this money I also need to wait 5+ minutes to get my ps4 out of sleep mode and into a multiplayer game. The service experiences pretty consistent downtime where I am locked out. The ps messages mobile app is terrible for trying to chat with a player. In game experience is even worse. I am also restricted to playing on my sofa at home when I spend a lot of time traveling for work with my laptop, iPad, etc. I would love to play NHL in my down time there.

If Stadia got EA Sports to publish NHL, I'm sold. The end to end product experience is just going to be miles better. I imagine certain games unlock Stadia for certain people.
I like talking with the person on the wheel on my Uber rides, unless I am busy with something important. Even when I am in a new place and don't know the local language well, I try to talk to them.

Its got above average feature parity with the website, generally stays up to date with the latest features available on the platforms (updating to the iPhone X screen size quickly, touch id, useful widgets, etc), and is nice to look at. I especially like that they try to customize the background pictures with your location and time of day, and if you live in a big city its cool to see some of the sights around town in the app. Haven't seen any other apps do that, and its appreciated.
