Yes and no. You could summarize 'The Wealth of Nations' the same way and it would also sound pretty basic and not worth the 800+ page read. I agree in general that 'Thinking in Bets' is conceptually thin, in the sense that there's a high text-to-ideas ratio, but there's some value in reading all of that. Duke does a good job of describing her own thoughts and experiences, in a way that makes you want to actually apply those ideas in your own life (rather than just read about them). A better book on the topic is 'Fooled by Randomness.' It's much more conceptually dense and covers a lot of the same ideas.
There are several facets to answering your question:

Some ideas don't get traction because they are before their time, i.e. technology might not have been up to scratch. For example some apps might be better suited to mobile than desktop. Or need current generation browser capabilities rather than those of 3-5 years ago. A good example is apps that relied on Flash or Java applets can now be implemented using HTML5 + CSS3 + ES6.

Another common issue is needing more internet bandwidth or lower latency than was available at the time. There still are many areas where internet speeds are far lower than those in major cities or suffer slowdowns when congestion increases, e.g. evenings.

Then some ideas didn't get off the ground because the market wasn't / isn't there. Those ideas might still be a very bad bet.

And ... considering your bootstrapping ideas, many ideas just don't scale to 100's of millions, but can result in a 100's of thousands or even a couple of lazy millions. Markets of that size simple do not appeal to VCs.
For me, it’s because I have some latency specific loads that I can’t really easily do overseas sometimes.

FB and Google allow the app to request the user's email. If the user is happy to provide it, then they can then tie the user's account to that email, and allow the user to log in with that email even if FB or Google cuts the application off.
Exactly. With Apple it's "what if" their customers suddenly become advertisers, whereas Google and FB their customers already are advertisers.

Apple is in a unique position where they can sell hardware at profit making prices to a huge customer base. Even if we are at peak iPhone, current Apple users are not going anywhere (I tried to switch my wife to an Android phone once and it was a disaster hah). Privacy moves like Apple ID will only solidify the current user base. Best in class products like AirPods and the AppleWatch also lock users in - in a good way though.

I've noticed that since this announcement it is also pulling some stout Android users I know who have become disillusioned with how Google is slowly locking Android down. The constant bad press Google has received combined with the Apple privacy drum beat is starting to pay dividends for Apple.
That blog post provides nothing of value. It complains that there isn´t package signing and that´s it. It doesn´t propose anything.

In the comments the author claims removing the signing is "beyond logic" even while linking to a reddit thread in which the logic is laid out clearly. For example:

There are doubtless tens of thousands of Texas job listings for "engineer" positions in software and elsewhere.

So you basically can't get licensed in that branch of engineering even if you have an accredited degree and have met the other requirements.)
It would be nice if package managers would not only support 2FA, but make it available via metadata the uploader and whether the uploader used 2FA.

If operations are performed over HTTPS, this would probably provide even more security guarantees than the typical use of signatures. Organizations or persons that want increased security could refuse to use packages that weren’t uploaded with 2FA (which, yes, would include packages from automated build servers which are often targets of hacking).

I imagine most people would trust-on-first-use signatures and then also accept changes to the signing key, so how much security does it really give?

So much this, not saying Apple's product are perfect ( Far from it ), they are just comparatively ( Not selectively comparing, but over all ) better.

It is one reason I really wish SurfaceBook and Chrome Book could do better. Apple need some competition to keep them sane.

The other opened a new location (took over afaik the techshop location that lasted a whole week) in a heavily government subsidized building.

> Also, the Makers Revolution was probably a fad (not in general, but in the way it was self-depicting in the media).

Fads are useful though. The original way of doing electronics with a breadboard and some 74 series ICs was a fad. CB radio was a fad. The hobby computer market was a fad. The home games console business was a fad. The 8 bit home computer revolution was more of a craze than a fad, but still arguably a fad.

Fads are often driven by the genius of one or two individuals, the author R A Penfold wrote most of the 74 series breadboarding books, Tandy/Radio Shack did their bit in providing bits to people keen to get in on the hobby.

Maybe the maker movement was a bit like that. Take away the Raspberry Pi and the 3-D printer and there isn't so much making going on.

So the question becomes what happens next, what is the next fad?

Someone has probably worked it out in a garage somewhere and the media will cotton on to it in a couple of years time.

A key part of these fads is that it is somehow educational. Not sure anything useful came from people tinkering with any of the stuff involved in these 'fads' but then we wouldn't be where we are without them. This in part depends on when people get on board. If you are the only kid in town in at the start then you learn useful stuff, when it becomes a fad the other kids get pushed into something they can't be that bothered with, the cool stuff has already been done and it becomes commoditised ready made 'meh'.

There was a time when the fad was marquetry. The maker scene of the time had people making beautiful sideboards out of wood with beautifully inlaid veneer. All kinds of wonderful things made of wood. The enabling tools were lathes and there were magazines pushing people to make new and exciting things, nobody needed a beautiful case to show off their Airfix plane collection but people would make such a thing if prodded along. In a way the maker scene is like that with updated materials.
Thanks! After playing with it a bit it's clear that part of the problem is that the charts are getting generated on the fly and that's very performance intensive.

Your math is off on the current scale of wind and PV and the time it takes to get it anywhere significant.

This is obviously a teaser for Silicon Valley - Season 6.
For battery powered applications, you want power efficiency, which often means using “portable assembly” (aka C/c++).

A lot of micro-controllers are run from batteries, especially high-volume products, so there’s always going to be a pull towards power efficient languages, even if your app has wall power available.

Second heeen’s comment on using 3V3 directly. I built Halloween costumes that ran directly off an 18650 powering the Arduino and driving the APA102 LED strings. No issues as the batteries ran from 4.2+ to 3.7 or less volts. If it was life safety, I’d care, but for blinkenlights, I’m willing to push outside the datasheet.

That is so far from the truth. And Tesla's case, ( I think ) it was because it was set up in a Special Economic Zone. Not to mention part of the deal was to have a JV / Partnership in battery construction. i.e Using Chinese Battery. ( Majority of the BOM in a EV )

This amounts to using nuclear power to unburn carbon in the atmosphere, which is possible I’m sure, but the total loop efficiency of burning then unburning carbon is less than if you just never burned it in the first place.

Piaggio Avanti is somewhat similar on being an advanced concept with high efficiency. I think they just stopped the manufacture.
Stalls are very bad when the aircraft is close to the ground. Stalls at about 5000 feet or more above ground level can be recovered from reliably by professional pilots, which is why (combined with the existence of autopilots and the fact that it is the cheapest way to cover distance) the majority of the thousands of airliners in the sky right now are right up against the coffin corner.
The problem with your formulation is that 'better' is perhaps the most subjective word there is. Define it in measurable terms, and perhaps you have a reading there. There are many factors to consider which may lead you to find things less clear-cut, for example here's one or two, with some sub-factors
- Modern audience Preference for familiar patterns in: (eg)
-- acting styles
-- music used
-- visual tricks and norms
-- special effects styles
-- acting styles
-- soundtrack loudness
-- colour and high resolution
-- High Concept movies
-- Fantasy and Comic-related films
-- modern movie themes and topics
- Internationalisation of movies, so that fans from abroad prefer modern films which are more universalised and less American-specific (see literature)

If it can be cheap enough to send 10s of thousands of internet satellites into orbit every 5 years perhaps the same innovation will help drive cheaper space based observance where light pollution, radio pollution, satellite/airplane streaks, and usable darkness aren't a problem.

> Sun Microsystems literally invented geoclustering!

They didn't. Not that any of it is important anyway. All 80s and early 90s networking tech was ridiculously broken, which should be obvious, since distributed systems field was just born at that time (first papers in like 1978). Things started to get useful only by the end of nineties. But by that time Sun's tech was nowhere near anything internet companies were doing. So later when things got to infrastructure Sun's engineering was really really behind, they had to start from scratch on anything that internet companies were learning and doing for many years. And this was very different time consuming knowledge, not something where someone could use their OS level expertise. Which also makes it very hard to compete with companies that are much farther ahead, especially with this silly "our tech is the greatest" attitude making it hard to even realize how far behind you actually were.

Hi, there are what seem to me (not a statistician) to be a number of serious errors in the article. The most egregious is the first conclusion, which threatens to undermine the whole thing.

> There does not seem to be any strong connection between number of votes and a movie's IMDB rating.

Well, this just isn't true. I happen to know this because I've looked at this data before myself. The issue is that you're cutting off the graph at a maximum of 60k votes with no explanation or even pointing out that you're doing it! I'm sure this is just an honest mistake, but it cuts out basically every movie that is actually popular!

This slowly ate at me until it was enough to get me out of bed to redo this graph myself. I've uploaded my quick and dirty result in R here: https://i.imgur.com/TTuCFEL.png

As you can see from the graph, there's a direct and obvious link between the number of votes and the average rating. The reason I say this threatens to undermine the whole thing is that I also know from previous experience that more recent films tend to have a lot more ratings on average. This (naively) suggests to me that we should see some recency bias if only because more recent blockbusters get a much larger number of votes than others and the sort of people who vote on blockbusters have different standards for what makes a great movie. (Avengers: Endgame was briefly the #1 movie of all time on the top 250 list.)

I don't have time to plot all the different graphs you did, but perhaps you can recheck your results after fixing at least this issue, and get back to us?

One thing that puzzles me after reading that article: if the bodies of the men like Vasily Ignatenko weren't dangerous why did the authorities bury them inside zink caskets under a layer of concrete?

Edit: I guess one answer is that they were scared/ill-informed - but the Soviet authorities seemed to be doing everything they could do downplay the risks from radiation - so why would they do that?

> Measuring less than five millimeters in length, microplastics derive from a variety of sources

wow, that is big... they can be almost 2/10 of an inch (I think I would choke on that)
I'd meant to add that part as well too - code can be bad and still work, and work OK. The problems only come in when it needs to be changed.

I've advised a number of folks to care less about the code style, and focus more on making it at least understandable. I don't particularly care if you're using a factory pattern or not, but please do doc/comment someplace what the expected behavior for your 'backordering' logic is. I can fix things later if I understand what was intended, vs just what I have to guess at later.

Have worked on some projects in the last few years that are 'bad' from code perspective. One is bad, but the company as a whole operates... decently, and is improving, and more importantly, is providing a lot of value to their customers. The customers tolerate some bugs now and then because a) they still get value and b) the issues are addressed. There's a full process for changes/fixes/rollouts, and the team overall understands that there's tech debt to deal with. Some folks understand that they're still paying off tech debt from 3-4 years ago, and understand those decisions were bad, and try to avoid those same mistakes.

Hundreds of integration and unit tests (growing every week) help grow the confidence levels, and remove barriers to smaller refactoring efforts, because there's a reasonable way to detect the impact of changes. It's not perfect, but that's also understood and accepted.

Another one is the CI/Laravel situation from above. Small company, no real 'tech' people on staff - it's all 'outsourced'. They're frustrated because they see other companies progressing faster than they do, and everything seems to take 5x longer than they expect. It's because the code is bad (on many levels). If we were not trying to make any changes, and it just ran in its current state, it would still continue to make money for them, but they want new features, which requires actually understanding how everything fits together. It took two people several months to have a reasonable understanding of how all the running parts fit together (while also trying to add new features/etc), and finally get a small number of unit tests in place.
Jim Gettys: The Two Edged Sword (1998)
These aren’t exclusive. I agree with the your defined purpose with school. But my question stands about how a university of fellowship should distinguish students who did better than others.

I think there’s usefulness to some sort of statistically standardized test that is a good mix in to the many other factors that should be used- essays, activities, awards, interviews, referrals.

I think it’s bad when a test is given too much weight, but if we don’t have any standards with the goal of being objective then I fear only attractive people will get into the best colleges.
