Remove protocol? Sure an arguement could be made that showing it is redundant giving the lock symbol appears when HTTPS is enabled. But removing sub domains like m. and www. isn't really cool.

I already hate the fact that chrome on mobile totally removes the URL when you focus the navbar, sucks if you want to go to some other subreddit etc.
This reminds me of the 'dir' test my friends and I used to gauge computer speed in the DOS era. Listing directories was so common its speed was easy to notice and compare to other machines.

Modern OS's don't really have an equivalent to that. Probably because usage has become more fragmented.
Telling users to carefully type https://www.paypal.com is somewhat less user friendly but a lot less phisher friendly than the "just type the company name, the other bits don't matter and the browser will find the right site for you and tell you it's secure" pattern.

Paypal has good SEO, but not every shopping cart does, and its not like Google are manually vetting the content like AOL keywords did...
That's just dumb. Cops manufacturing crime, as often is the case here in the states, too. You can't be free but also live under that kind of scrutiny about every last little thing you do. That sucks.

Today is 7/31, the end of the month, and the speed cops are deployed all over town writing tickets as furiously as they can even though they don't officially have "quotas" the higher ups definitely lit a fire under their asses to "go make some money."

As you can tell, I'm not much of a fan of this kind of corporo-statist law and order. Most of it is just a big game, an industry that legitimizes itself with officialdom and law but most definitely exploits vulnerable citizens (e.g. those who lack badges or other power "ins" with the local government). Basically, I hate it and wish it would stop. I'm for community policing, communities coming up with their own standards, as long as those standards are reasonable. We seem to have a criminal underclass that gets away with everything and meanwhile regular middle class people have to deal with tickets for expired stickers. It's clown world.

Am chuckling this morning because in the span of just a few years, the city of Baltimore, MD took in $16B, that's Billion, with a "B" in grants from the Federal government. Where exactly did all that money go to? That city is notorious not only for its ridiculously high murder rate, but also for generally being a decaying, blighted, mess. Corruption? Someone might want to look into that.
Spotify’s big bet on podcasts is starting to pay off
I guess it's a valid approach - see broken window syndrome - but at the same time it's only something you can do if the police force has the luxury to respond to minor (possible) crimes. Second, it doesn't work in e.g. the US where many people are arrested, tried and jailed for small crimes, e.g. possession of marihuana. Is that a deterrent? Does it work to reduce the production, trade and consumption of drugs? Does it over time cause the prison population to reduce and prisons to close?
It could still be viable even if it's only for a small subset of models, because the target market is quite specific. It is for city cars of the previous generation.
The best part is that it is more likely they just think they left change in the car but forgot they spent it.
I think the correlation likely works both ways.

I remember a walking tour in Munich some years ago, the guide told us to watch for Munich police bc they were bored and looking for crimes to take on, given the lack of crimes.

I think you are post rationalizing. Places like Norway, where I live have far more chill police and would let smaller things slide. Yet Norway is about as safe as Japan.

Most difference between crime in Norway and Japan is more likely down to Norway having much larger immigrant population from poorer countries.

I think your attitude easily ends up excusing police states. Japanese justice system is highly questionable. Almost nobody ever gets acquitted in the justice system, and prison is rather harsh. Norway gets away with low crime despite (or because of) probably the worlds most liberal prison system.

Don't get me wrong. I admire a lot about Japan, but I think you easily fall into the trap of thinking that everything great about Japan is directly the result of something bad.

I would argue more important factor causing law crime in Japan is much the same as in Nordic countries. Low levels of inequality. How people are socialized. Stricter gun laws.

And let us not forget that the average age is high in Japan. Older people commit a lot less crime.

Been writing software for over 15 years and its very rarely that I actually need to use any Maths. Occasionally yes, but very rarely.
I am not sure what do you even mean by that. I am not talking about lazyness. I am talking about opportunity cost. Learning an application framework takes time. There is the language, the api, the architecture best practices, the design processes. You might want to learn about accessibility, responsiveness, cross platform issues, software packaging/distribution/update management.

If you skim a tutorial and release an unmaintanable mess because you lacked experience with your tools users are not going to forgive you because thank god you did not use electron.

You might have some time to learn all this. Or not. Maybe you are busy finding funds. Maybe you are pitching companies to get your first prospects.
I think Locklin is saying that AIMA is a good source for understanding GOFAI, and that GOFAI was touted as on the verge of achieving AGI, not that AIMA touted GOFAI as being on the verge of achieving AGI.

I don't think so. Let's say you have one of the new TLDs for your site, say "new-york.florist", a nice domain. It's my belief that writing "new-work.florist" on your ads, business cards or merchandise will not let regular users know that it's a domain name. Writing www.new-york.florist will help indicate that this is your website.

Adding all the new TLDs have made the www prefix more useful than ever.
This is reactionary. Security is about detecting and preventing disasters like this in the first place rather than always being last to react to breaches as they happen.

CO2 was the first effect.
That has led already to the second-round effect: methane emissions. The Arctic sea floor contains methane clathrates, which is methane gas trapped in ice. Also, the Canadian and Siberian permafrost contain thousands of years of organic material that will now start to decompose, leading to massive methane releases.

Methane is 30 times more potent as a greenhouse gas.

Therefore, plan for human extinction by 2030. Methane will be our killer.

Is he seriously comparing to Japan to the US? I would say it is far, far easier to get out of poverty in the states (I have and know many who have) than it is in Japan. The two cultures have vast differences in everything from family dynamics to education to politics.
This is called Broken Windows theory.

"The broken windows theory is a criminological theory that states that visible signs of crime, anti-social behavior, and civil disorder create an urban environment that encourages further crime and disorder, including serious crimes. The theory suggests that policing methods that target minor crimes such as vandalism, public drinking, and fare evasion help to create an atmosphere of order and lawfulness, thereby preventing more serious crimes."

You understand that many Electron projects are FOSS, right? I understand what you're saying about optimizing for development rather than users, but if Electron didn't exist many of these projects wouldn't exist. If you see a project that you feel would be better as a native app, why don't you build it and release it as FOSS?
> current deep learning tech can’t be used to build a competitive engine.

I’m sorry but I disagree with this point since the process of asking about pawns, knowing about the state of the game (checked, unchecked or checkmate) and knowing if a move is legal can be used with reinforcement learning to accurately model the unknown environment and build a play strategy.

I'm not sure what you're saying at this point. I grew up in a low crime suburban area in the UK. My Dad worked, my mom stayed at home. They owned the house. My Dad works as a programmer.

>When you get that sick you end up on socialized medicine, SSDI and medicaid cover those costs at that point.

Erm, no. You will not likely meet the eligibility requirements for medicaid. That's just wishful thinking. If that's how the system worked, medical bankruptcies wouldn't happen.

>Also while you will receive medical bills you don't actually have to pay them while hospitals are not allowed to refuse you life saving treatment.

They're not allowed to refuse you life-saving emergency treatment. They sure can refuse to give you chemo, refuse to give you reconstructive surgery if you've been badly burned, etc. etc.

It's astonishing how unaware you are of how the health system works your own country. America has a lot of work to do on this issue.

GDPR Made Searchable by Algolia
> I agree, SSN's are a poor form of authentication. What's missing from these conversations is realistic approaches to fixing it.

> This will work for a time, but what happens when the next breach occurs? How do people renew their UUID's? Expire compromised ones?

The unique identifier would be an identifier only, not something for authentication. But before you can authenticate any identity, you need a way to identify that identity. Hence I consider that a base-requirement. Then we need to build a system of authentication points around this identifier. Heck, if SSNs were unique just re-purposing those for the ID would work just fine.

> Physical authentication probably means fingerprints, face data, correct? These are already compromised. Worse yet, they cannot be changed.

No, I mean going to a physical desk and authenticating however you already can do this. This would be something like a valid government-issued ID and a birth certificate. Essentially, whatever is needed to get a passport, have the same system here. Because that is essentially your weakest link already. I added this option to appease the American fear of government tracking.

As for a proposal to fixing it, I would point to two systems.

* The Estonian system, where every citizen is given an ID-card that is also a smart-card with a public key.
* The Dutch system, which I am most familiar with.

Let me expand on how the dutch system (called DigID) works. Though I should note the system has flaws, and there are valid criticisms. However, it hasn't had any big failures. The system works as follows:

Anyone can apply for an account, at which point the government will mail you instructions for setting up a simple username-password based authentication. Key behind this system is the 'Basis register of persons'. It is a national database (maintained by the municipalities) of all legal inhabitants and some info about them. Most importantly for this system, an address. This is what makes it possible for the government to send mail to a citizen.

To my mind, the above system of mail could/should be replaced by a visit to the municipal administration, where your ID-card is verified. (Notably, everyone over the age of 14 needs a valid government-issued ID)

Obviously, implementing something like this in the US would be hard. Mostly because mandated ID-cards and a government database of addresses would not be politically acceptable. I don't know the details of the Estonian system, maybe that would require less invasive tracking of citizens

I'm guessing most European countries have similar systems of government-based authentication.

Really though, these systems start with knowing who your citizens are and being able to identify them. And should this not be a basic requirement of a government?

Japan polices itself so that the police generally don’t have to. I don’t know about Norway, so I won’t comment. I can tell you it’s easy to avoid trouble with the state in Japan. Your biggest worry is going to be an older person who enforces social norms, which is exactly what got GP here.

Ah yes, "Broken Windows Theory"

The issue I have with it is, the law must apply to all equally. In the US, our well-connected public officials get away with serious crimes and the underclass has no money to forfeit, so they also get away with serious crimes.

Are you sure? I admittedly can't find a definitive source on this now, so perhaps the restriction is more nuanced than I realized.

What I do know is: if you try to use more intensive emulators like PPSSPP on a non-Jailbroken iOS device (via a developer account, enterprise cert, or similar), you will not get acceptable performance, because the emulator is forced to fall back into an interpreter mode.

Even on Jailbroken devices, the hacks required to make JIT work cause weird issues: https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/issues/9186

Yes culture is a major part of it, which is why you need to compare similar countries. Among western countries those with more liberal drug laws tend to have less problems. Compare e.g. the Netherlands, Switzerland and Portugal with the US.

In my native Norway, punishment for almost anything is quite mild including drug related crime. Yet drug usage is much lower than in the US.

We are all more similar to the US than Japan, being all derived from European culture.

> I attribute this mainly to the younger generation of developers, most of whom have never experienced computing with fewer resources, nor have any idea of the amount of resources something should take.

I attribute this to the older generation of OS developers and project managers and CEOs, who have not offered easy to use, powerful tools to create cross platform applications.

If the programming language is not memory managed, it doesn't matter (so anything C or C++ based is out).

If it's not cross platform, it doesn't matter (Win32, WPF, Cocoa, etc.).

If the priorities of its developers keep shifting, it doesn't matter (Qt from the old Qt widgets to the new declarative ones).

If it doesn't support high DPI or responsive design, it's out.

And I say this as a middle-aged developer, my first PC was a Pentium 1 and I've also used home computers from the 80's.

The incentives for OS creators are to create walled gardens. Which they've done successfully. But because of that, they can't also bitch and moan about "slow cross platform applications" when they do everything they can to kill or hinder cross platform stacks.
I had that same question a few years ago and made a site to answer it (for myself and others) called https://nomadlist.com.

Personally, I like cities with lots of nature in or around it, with low people density (not crowded), with a creative culture (like art, but also startups), in mild climates (like 20'C - 30'C, 68'F - 86'F), where it's not humid (so between 30% and 65% humidity).
Normally the people that think they have a concept they can sell into their market are the ones looking for you!

If it's an enterprise product you've already conceived, hopefully you've built enough of a network in that space to be able to get introductions to the sort of person interested in selling into it. The main thing to vet them is to understand how they plan to cope with not having inbound leads, a marketing plan, any brand recognition or even a complete product at the start of the sales cycle. To a certain extent enterprise salespeople can self-select themselves out of that sort of opportunity if it doesn't suit them; they have other routes to big money through conventional jobs.
It's not the only source of sea level rise, or even the major one - that I believe is expansion from rising sea temperature. So it's an additional 1mm on top of the others, and any catastrophic glacier collapses such as may be approaching with Thwaites in the Antarctic.

The more that melts results in changing albedo and smaller thermal mass to encourage an accelerating melt - a small runaway feedback loop. Rising air and sea temperatures will accelerate it further.

You and I may not care that much - yet, but those in the Marshall Islands, Maldives and other low lying regions almost certainly care about every millimetre. Sea level rise is probably the least dramatic effect of climate heating, but the most inexorable. It takes a while to melt 650,000 cubic miles of ice, yet we seem to be managing to get going. It will accelerate.

It should be cause for major concern.
