>payment networks like Visa/Mastercard/Paypal should be most worried by this

I don't think they're worried seeing that they're some of the biggest investors in the project https://www.wsj.com/articles/facebooks-new-cryptocurrency-ge...
That makes sense, but when buying things, the price of those networks is opaque to the consumer and things won't get cheaper for consumers if a business is selling to both "traditional" purchasers and FBcoin purchasers.
The Streisand Effect implies that the subject did not want the publicity but got it by trying to hide or cover up something. Here Twitch wants people to see that they are taking action. Now if the publicity leads to additional trolling of their platform thus exacerbating the problem, then you could make an argument that this scenario fits the Streisand Effect.
Maps. Podcasts. Apple Music: “Hey Siri, play <whatever you could imagine>” Having your next appointment automatically show up in Maps ready to simply click “go.” Or “Hey Siri, where is the nearest In and Out?”

It’s amazing.
Improved mitochondria function means improved energy conversion (in other words greater ATP with less calories)...that seems pretty useful all by itself.

Improving ATP efficiency is huge... i agree with you it may not mean stronger bones and more elastic skin...but we do know aging (less elastic skin and weaker bones) is related to the bodies breakdown in ATP supply/demand/conversion.

I just don’t think you can gloss over mitochondria inprovement as no benefit...it’s literally an improvement in energy (more energy with less calories), it’s a benefit unto itself.
I can grasp the idea that Facebook would want to capture more payments like WeChat does; what I can't figure is how having their own cryptocurrency would add anything. Whom does it appeal to? I doubt Facebook wants the drug dealer/money launderer market segment for example. (I also doubt it'll be secure or anonymous enough to satisfy those people.) And it's no good for speculators, if it's pegged. Seems like at best it's just a novelty or gimmick that maybe gets a few more people to try it out for giggles.

Using the term "innovation" might be a bit too generous here. Not that combining two things that already exist can't be innovative. When the boomers combined "white music" with "black music" they got rock and roll. But this is Facebook + crypto, two things that suck. (Apologies.)
The US is the US, but in places like the EU and Australia, consumer level inter-bank transfers are now taking a few hours, minutes or seconds, at a price between free and less than $1.

It's sort of a constructive proof that you don't need crypto currency, if that's the justification for its existence.
VLC is great and I use it personally. But it's too complicated for my kids and doesn't integrate with the parental control system. And also, millions of people use Apple's apps to consume content and my objection was that they made that process worse.
I probably own the final Mazda that has a "touch screen"... If you could ever really call Mazda's touch screen a touch screen.

A lot of the things that drive a poor experience with a touch screen are, imho, directly because they have such a poor implementation of a touch screen. Mainly, it's _slow_, _very slow_. A touch screen has to be very fast to seem like it's working, and in a car (in particular), it _must_ feel instant or it will feel like it's broken and cause distraction. I would be very interested to see some sort of apples-to-apples comparision (a good touch experience, vs a good tactile experience), but Mazda's is just not good. It's not even close to the realm of "good enough" to be used as a comparison.

I would say it's more like they never tried to do a touch screen, and then called it bad so they wouldn't have to keep trying.

And... The android auto experience is 10x better than the mazda infotainment system because of access to spotify, podcasets, and _actual_ navigation. I love the loftiness of how mazda talks about what they want to do, but they're so far off of delivering what they say they want to that I don't really know what to think. It's just bad and slow.

I really good tactile experience is probably better than a really good touch experience. But Android Auto is getting close to being a really good touch experience. The Mazda infotainment is not at all close to being a good tactile experience if you want to use say, spotify, or google maps, or use it to actually get to where you want to go.
Cracking down on a massive popular protest against overreach would just be counter productive to Chinese interests. My guess is that these eleven are not just random protesters, but were either identified as leaders or will be used to send a message.
Only partly. First of all the British are the ones that made sure there would be no general elections. They basically gambled that they would keep their power by appeasing the PRC.

And the British were at the forefront of deciding who would be part of the 1200 man election council to appoint the CEO of Hong Kong.

Pretending like we can just scrap the history of a place and our own hand in it just because we don't like the outcome is disingenous at best.

Gloria Vanderbilt, subject of a sensational custody trial in the 30s, dies at 95
Why is it that the most dramatic stories of people's digital lives being lost/broken usually seem to revolve around a compromised mobile phone number? Mobile phone numbers are not unique (they are recycled) and are terrible security (mobile phone companies are careless). I change mobile numbers at least once a year and most years I end up receiving calls/messages on behalf of the previous owner. I refuse to connect my mobile phone to these services.

It seems like one of the most important lessons of computer security has already been forgotten: It's only as good as the weakest link. Not only this but decentralization/redundancy is often better than centralization/dependency. For example, I'm not sitting awake at night worrying over some semi-pseudo password I generated for an old unencrypted forum run on some random persons server.

and apparently humble, too. I had one undergrad and one graduate class from him and didn't know about this.
Rebases are frequently much harder than merges if there's any conflicts. Rebases means replaying your commits on a different base. If you have multiple commits to an area of the code which is different in the new base, you'll be resolving conflicts repeatedly. Depending on how much work and how many commits in your dev branch, it can easily get to be more effort than it's worth.

IMO a clean commit tree that looks pretty and doesn't have repeated merges of the updated base branch is severely overrated, particularly in a team environment. If you've ever pushed your dev branch and you rebase, you've probably made someone else's day miserable, maybe not today, but some day very soon.

If you have someone dedicated to nice git history, and lock down your git server with sufficient hooks to ensure whichever branch you want to have a beautiful history has one, perhaps it can be made to work. I don't really see the upside.

Source control is occasionally - not often, but occasionally - useful for going back in time. Mostly it's useful for avoiding conflict in the face of concurrent commits, and for finding out why a particular line of code was written (we put JIRA task ids in every commit message). But even with the time travelling, all you need is something you can traverse. How pretty it looks isn't very functional.
facebook copied chinese / korean / japanese social media in many ways over the years. And their games ecosystem (zynga era) were mostly copies of chinese games.
I believe they tried, but it basically never made it out of committee as it's basically the same as banning people from using a highlighter on a book. It became very very clear that not only was it not enforceable but trying to go after the people supplying the adblocker would run into serious human rights issues.
Oh well if it's that simple then why has it been so hard just to do something as simple as increase the block size?
If using JSS, you can use a theme for common appearance settings, and use a context that carries that to all components. For example, material-ui uses this approach and I've found it works incredibly well in practice. I've added additional values as needed to my theme and this carries all the way down.

This includes additional/adjusted fonts, colors, etc.
Apple keeps Siri from accessing non-Apple apps (can't voice control into Pandora or Google Maps).

This is changing in CarPlay in iOS 13, as are a fair number of other things (generally for the better; I have a bit of hands-on experience thanks to a brave/foolhardy friend who's already installed the developer beta).

I don't think the "every working button" buys you much here because is could just as easily be stated as "every working touchscreen does the same thing every time I press it". The point from reliability engineering is that everything works until it doesn't. The difficulty with software systems is that they often have complexity that is tough to understand all the paths let alone test/mitigate them (see Boeing 737 Max as a recent example).

You bring up really good points on the zero gravity considerations. It would be interesting to see SpaceX's FMEA on this system to see what all they've considered.

Look up the "85th percentile rule". Traffic engineers actually generally aim to set the speed limit at the speed 85% of drivers are at or under. Sometimes politicians get in the way. For instance, it was requested to raise the speed limits above 55 mph in Chicagoland area highways, and the change was refused, even though the average driving speed on those roads is about 70 already anyways.

Here's a good explanation: http://www.mikeontraffic.com/85th-percentile-speed-explained...

Minimum wages are great for people already in the legal labor market. For people outside it, it creates incentives to find a way in (honestly or otherwise). For businesses, it can create incentives to find a way to get access to the less than entirely legal labor pool with a wink and a nudge for deniability.

To be absolutely clear, a minimum wage is in no way a bad thing! It's just worth bearing in mind that incentives are complex things.

Less sarcastically, I don't know how many people (proxy value is articles written about and videos made about) like the touchbar. However, Apple will never backpedal on a product no matter the reception of the touchbar which I personally hate.
I'm not sure the author's suggestion that potential students be diverted to trades/coding bootcampts etc., will solve too much, and instead may simply shift the problem into those trade industries as well. Somewhere in the ballpark of 2,000,000 students earn a bachelors degree each year. Let's say 25% of students should be diverted into trade schools instead. That will mean an additional 500,000 student per year entering those fields, which will then have the impact of making those jobs ever more scarce and probably depressing wages as workforce supply outpaces demand.

That's not to say diversion of this sort wouldn't help at all, only that it is not a cure-all. I think we're simply approaching a point in economic history where fewer workers are needed to produce more value/gpd/products/whatever. I'm not sure what the solution to that problem is though.
Unforeseen future circumstances could make people less amenable. Saying "we just don't know what the future may hold" in support of a claim is an argument from ignorance.

> I would even not mind something like one-time payments for support calls, for example pay $50 for a service call to get assistance in a case like this.

I can just see the people raging about this on social media now.

“Google won’t give me any help unless I pay them! Extortion artists!”

Etc.
The bar is higher because there's free (or near free) specialized education overseas and not domestically. Why pay to train entry level employers when the tax payers of X country will do it for you for free? Take away the subsidized labor pool and watch that bar fall back to the floor.
> The fact that some just want some directions to where they're going, and to listen to some music along the way, hardly represents the downfall of civilization.

Yeah, but on the directions front, it does represent a big loss in self efficacy. I don't rely on GPS, even when travelling to foreign countries.

I know people who don't even know the cities they live in. They are living in the phone's world itself, you could say.

Some people expect one to be a saint and be totally flawless if one preaches something. They see the preachers as hypocrites otherwise. The classic "but what about ... <another unrelated issue>".

What is your contingency plan for when that physical key is lost, stolen or damaged?
If this were 10yr ago I'd agree. The 80s gave us computers. The 90s gave us good simulation software and the engineers used that to build us reliable cars. The early 2000s gave us plastic interior and exterior trim that didn't rattle and fall apart in short order.

Since then we've tacked more gears onto automatic transmissions, hybrids have become more mainstream, sedans and wagons have been replaced with small SUVs as electronic doodads have proliferated. If you don't mind creaky plastic quality is about the same back deep into the 90s for cars that were on reasonably modern platforms in the 90s.

And that was pretty serious research at the time. The Gravity Research foundation was founded by Roger Babson (who also founded Babson College). At the time, the nature of gravity was not well understood. If it was a "wave" then it could be blocked, i.e Anti Gravity!

> Yet a 750 loc codebase sounds like someone with very little experience and a few days or a long weekend.

For the purpose of evaluating experience you count the total amount of code written, not the final codebase size. Four million lines of code is a fair bit of experience in any language, even if most of those lines were later deleted or replaced.

uBlock is an unmaintained fork of uBlock Origin: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-is-comp...

If it's in the App Store, it's not even a fork, it's just some piece of software using the "uBlock" name.
Footnote 5 references "Kristy Browder and Mary Ann Davidson.The virtualprivate database in Oracle9iR2. Oracle Technical WhitePaper, Oracle Corporation. 2002." and in the paper can be found under section 2, "Existing Approaches" with the text "Transparent query rewriting approaches, by contrast, avoid predefined views. Instead, they dynamically insert restrictions congruent with access policies into queries on execution [5, 8, 17]. Both view-based and query rewriting approaches increase the final query’s complexity, slowing it down (e.g., by 3–10×in Qapla [17])."

Does that provide any clues? I honestly don't know since I don't know what that Oracle feature is under the hood.

Also, I'd point out that my initial reaction to your post was a bit hostile, but I noticed this is a paper so "how does it differ from this $PREVIOUS_WORK" is a fair question. I thought at first it was a project someone did, where that question is perhaps still fair, but a bit, ah, strong to lead with, shall we say.

Most people do not drive according to the speed limit, they drive according to the overall feel of the road and the safety of traveling on it. Wider roads with high visibility and gentle curves will naturally lead people to drive faster.

Basically, you set the speed limit at the speed most of those drivers are already naturally driving at, so that the people who do mind the speed limit will travel at the same speed of travel as everyone else.

And then, of course, obviously there will be outliers.
