I'm running a "beta test" of sorts of XMPP+OMEMA with non-technical people in my circles, and while Conversations (Android) and Monal (iOS) are getting there, there are still functionality and compatibility gaps.

Gajim is a usable client for desktops, but it's certainly picky about which users it is friendly with (that is, I can't recommend it to non-technical folks).

On the other hand "it uses IDs like email" is a concept my friends could understand, and the promise of end-to-end encryption over a server I control (as compared to some faceless organization somewhere else) was appealing to them.

And so I'm first level support for my peers and report issues upstream in the hope of improving the ecosystem.

And while it's closer to an email replacement (in that it avoids the ID issues of the WhatsApp clones and provides multiple clients for different purposes), it's still only a complement to email due to the ephemeral nature of messages, not a replacement.

the energy system, it is almost impossible not to periodically end energy and have to grind at inns to continue playing as everything needs energy in the game.

In comparison in PoGO if you finish one category of scarce items you still have many part of the game you can play in (e.g. with no pokéball you can still fight in gym and raids)
Telling people to treat email as insecure and thus not use it for anything serious is terrible bad advice.

I am reminded of BGP (Border Gateway Protocol). Anyone who has even glanced at the RFC of BGP could write an essay of the horrible mess of compatibility, extensions, non-standard design of BGP. It also lack any security consideration. The problem is that it is the core infrastructure of the Internet.

Defining something as insecure with the implied statement that we should treat it as insecure is unhelpful advice in regard to critical infrastructure. People are going to use it, continue to use it for the unforeseeable future, and continue to treat it as secure. Imperfect security tools will be applied on top, imperfectly, but it will see continued used as long as it is the best tools we have in the circumstances. Email and BGP and a lot of other core infrastructure that is hopelessly insecure will continue to be used with the assumption that they can be made to be secure, until an actually replacement is made and people start to transition over (like how ipv6 is replacing ipv4 and we are going to deprecate ipv4 if you take a very long term view of it).
People would still need to desire to get better. This is a pretty lacking trait in the majority of humanity.
Wow you just completely pulled those facts about citizenships & documents out of thin air
I wish I could give you a good answer, but I really haven't dug deep into the pros of the language. If you see any review of this I'd love to read it as well.
According to my 1990s graphics card packaging I have a dragon in my bedroom. I wouldn't expect a Musk company to produce underwhelming marketing claims but marketing departments don't change the state of the art in research.

Making this sci-fi levels of usable and getting it to consumers are both pretty unrealistic claims. I'm pretty sure you still couldn't get invasive research BCI past an ethics board around here if the patients skull isn't opened out of medical necessity anyway, doing so for fun isn't analogous to getting a piercing or tattoo, it's analogous to chopping off a limb to get a robotic arm.

True. Most of the fight I've seen has been at the city level, debating the regulations for where the base stations can be placed, and what ROW is granted to support them. But if people fail to engage with their local government when the topic is discussed, it would be difficult to fight after the fact.
Don’t take the thought = input too literally, your computer input companion will be an AI system, not a keyboard.

Just think about how Siri’s AI can mostly understand what you’re saying even with background noise, stuttering, pausing, and coughing when talking. Now imagine talking to Siri at the speed of your thoughts.
I disagree.

We're already close to replacing the eyes as a source of visual data.

We've already used brain waves to directly control input to a computer.

What I was talking about was essentially computer aided design with an integrated computer.

And I know how code is written, on many occasions I've known almost completely the structures that I'm going to spend the next two and a half hours translating and typing out.

The minutiae of the code that emerges as I'm typing is often an exception, but I generally have a fair idea of where and what the corner cases are going to be.

The biggest bottleneck by far comes in translating the internally visualised structure into an English derived programming language.

The number of options that prettier exposes (despite boasting about being "opinionated", i.e. disregarding the user's opinions) suggests that there are people with different aesthetics or accessibility needs who would not consider one style to be always correct.

IMHO we're about 10 years overdue for committing a canonical representation of that AST to version control instead of treating a particular serialized visualization of it as the single source of truth (and spending countless hours debating which format is "good enough" for everyone in every situation).
A Danish news article on the death of mainframes (or their unwillingness to die) where they have some stats that says that 10 out 10 of the largest insurance companies still use mainframes for they core systems. So learning that large insurance companies run Cobol isn't that surprising.

Given that you have set this up, and that both of these usecases are for your own use only, I wonder if there is any reason to change. Most criticism in the article is about the complexity on a larger scale.

Me too. I have a JVM background for > 20 years and have been using Apache Spark for several years and while I have great respect for the engineering that has gone into Spark, I feel that they just started out with the wrong language. GC-based languages are not ideal for large scale distributed data processing, IMHO.

It's also worth mentioning that if we assume that interbreeding didn't occur somewhat frequently then that means that non-African humans evolved from the same ancestors that the Neanderthals' and Denisovans evolved from, while most people in Africa evolved from another group or groups.

The earliest modern human remains found outside Africa date to about 200,000 years ago, yet almost all people born outside Africa are descendants of people migrating from Africa about 70,000-50,000 years ago. We don't really know what happened to the first waves of emigrants but we do know they didn't leave many traces. The traces we have found don't indicate hostility so the easiest explanation is that they simply lived alongside the Neanderthals and Denisovans and that the Neanderthals and Denisovans were more successful. Since we know there were interbreeding I find it very likely that those were isolated incicents, considering the human sexual drive. :)
This is for people who want to live in a future where we use efficient and safe system level languages for massively scalable distributed data processing. IMHO, Python and Java are not ideal language choices for these purposes.

It might fall in line with "Better the devil you know than the one you don't."

Glad to know that you enjoyed it. Thanks!
A manager with an attitude that engineers would pad their estimates to "enjoy the free time" is a guaranteed way to get good engineers to quit a team. Not only does it betray a complete lack of trust, but it means engineers are going to be pressured to lower their estimates, which never turns out well.
Most cryptographers do not see Telegram as a secure encrypted protocol. This is for two reasons: the first one is that Telegram doesn't do end-to-end encryption by default (and if you enable it, functionality is limited). And secondly, they roll their own cryptographic protocol.

Go the language is surprisingly complex and error prone compared to other GC languages because of its decision to allow explicit references. This adds an extra layer of semantics to nearly every aspect of the language.

For example, the semantics of the for-over-collection statement in Java are that it repeats the block of code, with the loop variable holding each value of the collection in turn. In Go, the equivalent statement also needs to document what it means to take the reference to the loop variable. Composite data types have semantics for taking references to sub-parts (struct and arrays/slices allow taking references, maps do not).

Slices and arrays are another complicated area of the language, with gotchas like append sometimes modifying the original array, sometimes not.

Regarding splits, you still have that in Go as well - do you use goroutines as coroutines, sending copies of objects through channels? Or do you use them as threads, with shared memory and locking? Do you use the testing package as is, with its lack of any user-friendly asserts? Or do you pick up an assertion library? Do you use raw http,or something la Gorilla? Sql or some ORM? Do you log to stdout, or do you pick up a logging library?

Regarding gofmt, I personally can't understand the passion some people have for enforcing a common style.

Regarding build tools, Go is hardly unique among modern languages in having built-in tooling for that. It's relative ease of deployment also means that Go's build tools can't be used alone in a multi-language project, so many of the apparent simplicity is only useful in a subset of projects that actually use only Go. Even then, if you have any other build artifacts you may find you need to reach for something other than Go's tooling. By comparison, Maven can easily handle a Java+minor bits-in-other-languages project out-of-the-box.

Not to mention that Go is probably the only language in any kind of popular use today that doesn't have a built-in way to interface with C code (you need to use a separate compiler if you want that!).

To me, Go has a single killer feature: binary and memory size for a GC language. And Java may be catching up on that area...

Google is a stale big corp that has not innovated in a decade. Expecting it to listen to its workers, who are now a commodity, is at best naive.

Listening to dissenting voices only matters to small companies who will die if they make a mistake. Google could spend 20 years doing nothing but mistakes and it will still have money in the bank.
Is there any information on the source of these iron particles?

I know brake dust is iron-rich, but I find it hard to believe there is enough brake dust in the world to have a serious impact.

Most other machines aim not to create iron dust (that would be a sign the machine is wearing out), and new harder bearing surfaces should produce practically zero particulates.

Are there perhaps small amounts of iron in coal?
I don't see how a (passive) cable can create a 100volt jolt out of thin air.
But claiming that "X software is written in Y language/framework" says nothing about efficiency or safety. It's just meaningless marketting piggy-backing on popular buzzwords.

And claims about "the future" are simply absurd. Oddly enough, this link appears right next to another story on how Cobol powers the world's economy.

Frankly, I'm surprised blockchain wasn't shoved somewhere in the announcement.
It's fairly common but also very problematic. It's not acceptable. Make sure you have savings, let the manager know how harmful it is. If you or the manager can't correct it then consider leaving to find a better team if that's possible.

> A team of researchers in China sent a photon from the ground to an orbiting satellite more than 300 miles above through a process known as quantum entanglement, according to MIT Technology Review. It’s the farthest distance tested so far in teleportation experiments, the researchers said. Their work was published online on the open access site arXiv.

> For about a month, the scientists beamed up millions of photons from their ground station in Tibet to the low-orbiting satellite. They were successful in more than 900 cases.

tl;dr

“A team of researchers in China sent a photon from the ground to an orbiting satellite more than 300 miles above through a process known as quantum entanglement”

links from the article:

- https://www.technologyreview.com/s/608252/first-object-telep...

- https://arxiv.org/abs/1707.00934

imo, it’s far-fetched to call a photon an “object”.
The results were very Testo-Max Review interesting. Those people in the group that consumed more protein and reduced their intake of carbohydrates and fats lost a higher percentage of excess body fat than those who followed the first program. The difference in their weight loss was almost by double. The second group fared better than the first. They dropped twice the amount of fat than the first and gained muscle weight.

Without strict observation, the researchers asked each participant to keep a diary of their caloric intake. Whether the participants exactly followed instructions or not isn't a sure thing. Self-evaluation regarding caloric intake can be somewhat misleading. People often miscalculate the calories they've consumed on any particular day. In light of this, to get rid of belly fat one can see how vital it is to involve a nutritionist when choosing a diet, and monitoring once the diet is underway. Time is also not a factor that should restrict your efforts to get rid of belly fat. You can obtain successful results from exercising correctly in a less period of time. This condition is also made possible if it is conducted under the constant eye of a fitness instructor.

It is no secret that in order to increase bench press strength, one needs to go through hard workouts. No pain, no gain applies to bench press routines as it does to any exercise. But working hard does not mean you cannot workout smarter. In fact, you need to workout smarter if you want to keep working out hard.

So do insurance companies in the nordic countries in Europe.
Sure, it's not like a Musk company ever broke the mold before.

The man's not perfect, he's a PR nightmare and his estimates tend to be far enough off to give cause for concern regarding financials.

But he's brought us reusable rockets and very usable electric cars in what is still a staggeringly short time frame.

What he's doing here makes me nervous, but there's no fucking way I'm betting against him.
Looking at job listings over a few months this is easy to verify for the nordic countries.
Why do you care? It is (probably) not your job to fix culture.
Disclaimer: Personally I don’t think LTE and co really pose significant health risks.

But, your claim that there were no changes to public health in the last two decades seems misinformed. Eg we have an Alzheimer‘s epidemic and an obesity epidemic, and rapidly dropping fertility rates. AFAIK some cancers are more prevalent. All these could be caused by other factors, but it definitely needs to be ruled out.
but a common misconception of programming is that we write text- we do not!

we formulate abstraction that are stored in files. Still I am not in the least interested in files (a problem I have with most IDEs) that make up my component but in packages/namespaces, classes, functions, etc.
> I'd imagine the greatest risk of injury from a drone would be it failing and falling from a significant height

Not if you are trying to replicate a motorcycle camera angle. The motos get very close not only to the athletes, but also to the audience. Not just because they can't fly, but also because that low camera angle is desirable.

> but it can't be beyond the wit of man to outfit a drone to take decent quality stills?

The stills are mostly for closeups. You would not even be able to get that angle with a drone carrying a reasonably sized camera, because the rotors would not only be in the image, they would also be in the face of the subject.

Drones might find some niche in broadcasting road cycling if they get safety and regulations sorted out (tough problem with basically unrestricted audience access), but not replacing motorcycles and helicopters. Smaller races that don't have helicopters will surely add drone angles, just like many have recently started to introduce their first motorcycle camera thanks to price drops.

When it comes to getting his fair say in, Gerry Adams from Sinn Fein is a master. He never interrupts others, except to tell them to stop interrupting him, and his approach is very effective. When somebody talks over him, he talks over them saying "I didn't interrupt you, don't interrupt me" in a polite but authoritative tone, then he continues speaking until his turn is up.

He's so good at it, somebody recorded a parody song about it (a rip-off of a Boy Named Sue).

I had a business partner who was a great engineer, but kind of an elitist snob and never let people speak. He cost us a lot of sales that way, so I actually had to begin texting him "Slow down. Let him answer. Stop interrupting, I need to pay rent this month". Consistently calling him out on it in a private way significantly changed his communication style and we stopped losing sales that we should not have lost.
There are two ways:

1. paperclip optimizers where a very smart computer you tell to do one menial task like producing as many paperclips as possible or proving a mathematical theorem can turn into a catastrophy as that computer turns all iron on earth into paperclips or into computers that all try to find a solution to the theorem. This also includes computers that we task to "protect" humanity coming to the conclusion that humans having power to kill each other is mankind's biggest threat.

2. crazy would-be dictator who wants to rule over the world and tells an AI to do it or kill all humans or something else.

TLDR: First way: forgetting machines to tell to not kill humans (or not doing it in an effective manner). Second way: some really shit individual explicitly telling machines to kill humans.

The first danger is one we already face: basically since we've had machines there have been accidents with them, also ones involving casualties. In general, the more we care about avoiding casualties the less likely they are. However, it only takes one super intelligent paperclip optimizer to "break lose" so given the high amount of possible casualties, there needs to be a lot of care taken to prevent even one such event.

The second danger needs to be coped as well. One could do two things: very slow deployment of super-AI capabilities at the start, while building AIs that can defend governments and somehow encoding into them how the government works (to prevent parts of the government from using that machine in a coup). The same computers will prevent revolutions though, so I guess we'll see less and less of those. You can think of variations of those ideas like AIs that only enforce asimov's laws or only make sure that we don't use any weapons more powerful than $weapon on each other.

What I don't understand though is how neuralink will help with coping with those threats.
