> How many business users are going to use Juypter notebooks?

None, because it's too much programming for IT to let business people have access to it, and it's not disguised as an office productivity app the way Excel is.

If they had access to it and had basic training on it that anyone already competent in any vaguely quantitative domain could handle, plenty of them could and would.

At least judging by my experience with SQL shells and similar told that are both less powerful and less friendly than Jupyter + Python, and yet plenty of business people used them productively in enterprise environments (often right up until IT ripped it from their hands.)

I’ll offer a different take on this merger other than the typical defense contractors = bad/politically in bed view held here. (Which may not always be wrong, but by no means is it always right/accurate).

I think the merger is about 2 things.
1.) neither company has a “Platform”. United builds jet engines, Raytheon, sensors and missiles. But Lockheed builds the F-35. I think this is about Raytheon getting closer to having platform capability, instead of the constant squeeze the platform owners put in their subcontractors. (Both in price, and function, which is lockheed making their own sensors and cutting out Raytheon biz.
2. I think it’s a debt/revenue restructure advantage for United, they’ve got lots of debt they can spin off without losing revenue, acquire a cash positive company, and look great to stockholders for the next few years and pay out fat dividends. (Which benefits who? all the executives who own tons of stock and make decisions).
Those all work for that already, because they're just frontends to whatever backend system you're using. You a database like BigQuery with real-time streaming inserts and rerun your queries for results.

If you want analytics directly on the stream, then there are plugins available to support reading the query results of something like Kinesis Analytics or Confluent's KSQL.
I wonder why this hasn't been implemented in the standard library yet. People have been doing this for at least 3 years, and the benefits Cheney listed are real.

"Android compatibility" implies that it's something entirely new. It appears to be an Android fork that simply hasn't done away with compatibility. There are neat ideas and all, but the title implies that it's something that it isn't.

Although which Amazon product wasn't specified, the AWS console is a shining example of something that does micro frontends badly.

To your point about respectable customers using the API, according to Amazon the majority of customers use the web interface for most things. I forget the number mentioned at the AWS Summit, but it was significant.

Even I work full time on AWS and do most provisioning via API actions, but still end up in the console tracking down various things since the API is very cumbersome.

Multiplers don't scale linearly. The lower your valuation, the more possible it is to get a higher multiple for various reasons (cash, # of bidders in the market, etc).

At $1B/year in revenue there aren't a lot of companies that can realistically acquire you. At $131MM/year, there are.

But still I agree. Both are quite high.
Expected return may be helpful but imo not sufficient without variance. Some cumulative jackpots are large enough that the expected return is actually profitable but the probability of actually hitting the numbers is vanishingly small.
I just don't think the new housing is coming...ever. There's too much money tied up in the real estate to devalue it. People save up for a long time to get some of that property. They aren't going to want a price cut to happen after grinding it out. I'd be pissed if I had just come into ownership. As much as I'd love it for my own gain, I don't even consider it an option on the table.

These people would never afford whatever becomes available in an open market anyways. Cut the prices a bit and it'll be me moving to LA and I can outbid anyone living in a car out of necessity.

So, we're left with trying to make constant concessions just because people were born here (well, maybe) or we can cut them loose until they move.

If I can grow up in the Midwest and move away from home (nearly all of my hometown friends too) to progress my career, people can pack it up to progress their lives. There was no government intervention to keep families and friends together in the Midwest. Probably because we weren't addicted to Ohio.

People born in LA that can't make it either squandered a huge head start being born and local to LA or their family screwed them by staying in a bad situation and should have moved decades ago. What is so sacred about being born there? Their local friends/family are letting them live out of a car or a tent. What love will be lost?

They can't afford to live where they were born. Deal with it. It's over. Grind out a year or two in the heartland and move back with a better job if you really miss it that much. I don't think that's too tough of a pill to swallow.

Huawei could probably do something similar, however they still can't access the Google Play Store and such, therefore leaving them in a problematic area. For instance, though somewhat substantial, the Amazon store is quite pitiful in comparison to Google Play. Huawei could attempt to make a store but it won't have the world of apps that already exist on the Play Store.

This would work in China though, since they don't have the Play Store in the first place.

> “Numbers are just numbers, you’ll never see 0x80ULL in a .go source file”.

Yet almost immediately afterward, we see the expression:

const uintSize = 32 << (^uint(0) >> 32 & 1)

How is `uint(0)` not just `0u` by another name? And doesn't this code snippet unnecessarily depend on specifically 32-bit and 64-bit architectures? As opposed to something like Rust's `mem::size_of::<T>()` which is both constant-time and also will "just work" on any conceivable architecture past and present?
That's not typical workflow for the majority of data scientists. And saying you prefer Julia not have any plotting stuff sounds really really dumb to be frank.
In my opinion, a key attraction of Prolog is the regularity of its syntax and the relation between its syntax and semantics.

I mean not only homoiconicity, but something beyond that.

For example, one of the first questions of Prolog beginners is usually: "Why does my predicate fail for a specific query?"

Prolog allows us to mechanically find and give a minimal explanation why a query fails. We can do this by systematically generalizing the program and show a minimal fragment that still fails. We can mechanically generalize a program by using logic variables instead of concrete values, and by removing goals (i.e., constraints) from conjunctions.

A key attraction of Prolog is that if you take any pure program, and replace any of the goals by true/0, you still get a valid and more general (or at least equally general) program.

For example, take the Prolog program:

my_list(Ls) :-
Ls = [a,b|Rs],
Ls = [a,c|Rs].

In this example, I am using trivial constraints (only (=)/2), and the mistake is quite obvious. But the point remains: We can remove and generalize any and all goals and give explanations why a query fails.

For example, why does the most general query, i.e., ?- my_list(Ls)., fail?

A possible explanation could like like this:

my_list(Ls) :-
Ls = [a,b|Rs],
* Ls = [a,c|Rs].

here, I have used ( * )/1 to "generalize away" a goal, using a suitable definition of ( * )/1 like:

:- op(920,fy, *). *_.

The fact that the query then succeeds tells us that the second goal is, in a sense, a reason for the failure.

No other language I have seen gives comparable guarantees and ways of debugging. For example, suppose I remove a single form in a miniKanren program. The result may no longer even constitute a valid program, and even if it does, I am not aware of any meaningful general property that can be said about the remaining program.

The ability to systematically generate explanations like this seems to be quite unique to logic programming languages like Prolog.
Lotteries are run by a couple of companies, and the multi-state systems are run by fairly secretive organizations that have their share of issues.

>We might go extinct but if we don't, it might be pleasant to vacation in the arctic? Is this the sort of scientific claim you have in mind?

This is the sort of hysteria that results from one sided science, and makes it less likely for laymen to take climate science seriously. The worst case models predict extinction and so called tipping points. But, if you read the IPCC reports, the further you move down the chain of journalism->IPCC summary->literature, the less certain these catastrophic interpretations become.

>Opinions are not publishable

Sure, perhaps a poor choice of word. Let's call it dissenting literature.

>Discussions about climate science in the public sphere are politicized

You don't think that the same politicization could play at least a small role in the direction that climate science is being taken? These scientists are human beings, after all, and the problem space is broad enough to easily ask only questions that align with certain popular notions.

Not to mention, as someone who has dealt with geoscientific (though not climate) models, given a sufficiently complex model it's generally possible to obtain any desired (consciously or otherwise) result while simultaneously fitting historic and calibration data.

The backend has also evolved massively from Hbase to the cloud-powered data warehouses. We have the ability to ingest and query petabytes with single-second delays now. There's also on-demand querying like Presto/Drill/Dremio, ETL systems like CBT, and the growing space of "data lineage" for seeing how data is connected and has evolved over time.

The real issue has always been the organizational problems of larger teams and companies as data gets split into multiple silos and needs ETL and cleanup before it's useful. The new abilities we have gained have increased the complexity and scale which can lead to new challenges, but the tools are definitely getting better every day.

This is not necessarily a reasonable assumption. People often do things because they heard it was a good practice, or because it solves a problem they don't actually have, but think they might, or arbitrarily without giving it much thought.

The traditional cartoons aren't subtler and multi-layered though for the most part. The commentary usually defaults to some tautogical theme along the lines of "wouldn't it better if world had more of peace or some other good quality and less of war or some other bad quality".

It's then interspersed with some self-referential pieces about their own profession where characters have pencils replacing weapons or whichever object you'd expect instead. They all too often have to label the elements in the picture to make it comprehensible, which ruins its impact.

Some of the funniest cartoons tend instead to have a cynical or absurdist take on things, which is not too far off from a high-quality meme.

> with completely Open pieces

AOSP is completely open source. Hardware and firmware is a much different story, but that applies to the device you're promoting just as much...

> They're making good progress and I can't wait to be able to update my handheld device with mainline pieces for as long as anyone who still uses one cares to update it. Currently my Samsung Android device is at Dec 2018 patchlevel and nothing I can do about it.

What's the relevance?

It's also quite important to note that the Android patch level includes firmware. Purism doesn'tship firmware updates in PureOS as part of it being 'pure', so you would be stuck with the equivalent of an ancient patch level at least with the stock OS. You're also no less dependent on the companies releasing firmware updates.

You're also bringing up hardware as an alternative to an OS that would run on the hardware that you're talking about. It's hard to understand the point. The Librem 5 will be a hardware target for GrapheneOS to consider. It will be missing many of the core hardware security and robustness features, so it couldn't be a tier 1 target, but it could still be unofficially or even officially supported.

If it doesn't depend on any out-of-tree kernel drivers, that will apply to Android and GrapheneOS too. I'm not sure why you're bringing it up as something distinct.
I appreciate the trend to break the frontend monolith - I think its one of the next steps for grand scale web apps. However, that noted this is certainly not for everyone and it has some downsides (e.g., complexity) that need to be tackled.

Right now there is also some lack on tooling and framework / library side. Nevertheless, there are some approaches already.

A project currently in the making is Piral (https://piral.io). It is not production ready at this point, but I think it may hit some sweep spot depending on your requirements (see https://github.com/smapiot/piral/blob/master/docs/features.m... for features and comparison to other / similar frameworks for micro frontends).

"They're on the same die as the CPU and come with it. That doesn't mean they can freely access all memory... but it does mean that supply chain attacks targeting them would generally be able to target the CPU instead."

I don't disagree with your overall post. I do want to add that there's a good reason to not put the backdoor in the CPU: it's main place they'll look with plenty of people capable of spotting it. The guy that taught me about hardware subversion years ago preferred hiding stuff in analog parts of mixed-signal ASIC's. He said digital people neither saw it nor understood it. He and others taught me about how the two can interact in invisible ways where analog or RF portions might pick up leaks. So, deniability is maximum if it's some kind of analog or RF part of a chip. He claimed to have never found backdoors but that he and others used this for I.P. obfuscation a lot.

I do like the IOMMU and firmware work. There's a lot of custom I.P. to build before being competitive with one of high-end SOC's. One thing I considered about trying to make an open phone is whether a company with money could just pay for Snapdragon to be integrated with the RISC-V cores. Modify RISC-V core to use microcode for security updates and product enhancements. Put security barriers in key places so Snapdragon I.P. is a little less dangerous or can even be powered off component by component. Then, if the agreement gets more data on hardware, use that with secure, development practices to make robust drivers. Include method for secure boot and update that still allows user to put their own stuff on the phone if they choose.

What you think?

EDIT: In case it wasn't clear, I know there's stuff like IOMMU's in Snapdragon. I'd just prefer an independent, security-focused company to be making those components. Sort of a check against incompetence or malice on Snapdragon's end.

> I suspect it's because Americans live far more leveraged lives

That's simply not correct among developed nations. It's an old myth that refuses to die.

The US is in fact on the lower side for the OECD:

https://data.oecd.org/hha/household-debt.htm

Countries in the OECD with households in worse shape than the US:

Spain, Belgium, France, New Zealand, Portugal, Finland, Britain, Ireland, Canada, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, Australia, Norway, Netherlands, Denmark.

Scandinavian countries for example have household debt to income ratios that are among the worst. Australian and Canadian households are also in worse shape than the US, despite being generally quite affluent (Australia's household debt to disposable income ratio is 2x worse than the US).

The US is comparable to Japan, and just slightly above Germany on household leverage.

More broadly, wealthy nations tend to have households with more leverage than poorer nations. They tend to have highly functional financial systems that facilitate that, combined with consistent, dependable economies.
I think the counterargument is that it's not a good use of their time to convince someone to build it for them, when they can finally do it themselves in half the time :-)
