I agree. I find it heartbreaking that the brightest minds of our generation are working on better ways to get spam into people's mailboxes. He more or less worked himself to death just to "enable our customers to deliver a highly responsive, on-demand experience with their marketing and their content."

Surely the world would be better off without further optimising targeted spam.
> Whereas you can give a 2-year old an iPad, and they can start using it just fine...

What makes you think that if Apple would provide a mechanism in iOS, like SIP (System Integrity Protection) on macOS which can be disabled by technical users if needed, would change anything?

Right now, regular users do not disable SIP on macOS so there's no issue there. They don't even know/care that this possibility exists. So your 2 year old could still use the same iPad just fine.
Sibling comments make a point on how a physical store is easier to bring to market.

> It’s extremely difficult to project forward 10 years in tech.

I think this is a common misconception. Tech giants rise mostly because they create new markets. Since their beginnings nobody beat Microsoft on operating systems, nobody beat Google in search, nobody beat Facebook on social network market share.

The point would be that once you're dominant in a market it's very hard to be moved away and it takes more than a decade. I find it hard to believe a 1T dollar company can be outcompeted during less than a few decades.

Also as the tech/online market matures things naturally tend to slow down.

Brodsky's poem On the Death of Zhukov brilliantly reflects his controversial life. The english translation isn't very good, but it carries some of the flavor-- https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1057/9780230373396_3
If you look at the post that I referenced in there (a matplotlib page detailing the colourmaps that are available in that library) there is one that is actually called `rainbow` that's very similar to the one proposed by the google team. They do compare against viridis and inferno, you're correct -- but comparing a high-contrast colour map directly to a perceptually uniform one is an unfair comparison. They should compare against, for instance, the rainbow one from there, cubehelix, or even the twilight ones that I suggested.

Of course it's always good to have other colour maps to choose from, but the similarity between this proposed one and the ones that already exist makes it seem like they've only quickly glanced at other work in the field.
But they are allowed to learn, which Apple doesn't want you to do. They could make it so your mom doesn't get root by accident, but you would still have the right to do so.

Stalingrad was the decisive turn of fate during WWII, if the allies had lost it, the Axis would probably take over the all of Europe. Sure, a lot of men were sacrificed, but this was total war, those sacrifices saved tens of millions.

We live with this slight propaganda that the USA was the responsible to liberate Europe, but in fact, USA showed up here at the end of the war when the Russians had already inflicted a major defeat on the German army, and it was the sacrifice of Russian men at Stalingrad (together with any material help the British could afford to spare to that front), that ultimately won the war for the Allies, not D-day.
Fair enough then. The first one is very clear cut.

For the latter, men can get told that too. Some management theories almost elevate the worker above the manager and a belief that clearly asking people to do things is "aggressive" can apply regardless of gender.

Presenting Google AMP as "just" a CDN is very dishonest.

I am currently participating in another accelerator in London called Antler; and I have been exposed to ideas from 70 entrepreneurs. We are presenting to investors this week.

Also I am in YC Startup School too, which allows you to see what's coming up in the world, and that's awesome too.

It's amazing to see that a significant percentage (~30%) of ideas they have come up with have been also thought of by others e.g. from the YC list independently to an uncanny extent.

Honestly it should not have caught me by surprise but it did.

My understanding is that ante mortem and post mortem fractures can be distinguished by bone marrow oedema. Presumably, if the post is an extremely long period and there's no bone marrow present, then there would be other substantially different fracture patterns.
Altruism Still Fuels the Web. Businesses Love to Exploit It
Why are you spending so much time arguing this point to anonymous persons online?
Beautiful! This joke has a very "XKCD" quality to it.
I'd say it's encoded in the combination of the tRNAs and the aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases, which load the appropriate amino acids on to the tRNAs. There's nothing in the tRNAs themselves which picks out a specific amino acid - that happens because the synthetases recognise specific amino acids and specific tRNAs.

The synthetases are also encoded in DNA, so the fundamental point, that the code is encoded in DNA, stands.
The fact that luminance peak, i.e. green, maps to the center of the input domain for Jet/Turbo is also very confusing and creates a strong emphasis for that region. It is unlikely to be a very desirable quality, especially when evaluating depth images like in their examples.

"Tightly vertically integrated" and "open" are somewhat at odds with each other.

I think far too many people seem to think that the instruction set is something you can just drop in to a chip and start stamping it out, without any appreciation for the amount of device-specific engineering that has to happen. The reason things like a "true open source" Raspberry Pi haven't happened is the $5m - $10m of work required. And for high end devices that would be required to be competitive in the cloud, that number goes up a lot.

I've not heard of Facebook, Google or Amazon doing significant custom silicon projects themselves, as opposed to just working with vendors for some customisation. The only FAANGM in that space are Apple.

While somewhat true, essentially the question of 20 amino acids still holds and trying to answer it is still meaningful (and in the same way article addresses it). Consider this: how old are these plant insecticides (or whatever they are)? Maybe some 150 mln years old? (I'm only assuming, of course, but it seems like a plausible assumption.) Well, the life on Earth itself is about 3.5 bln years old, and as far as we know it mostly utilizes the same set of 20 proteinogenic amino acids it did back then. It is only natural that given time, constantly mutating and evolving organisms would eventually learn to produce whatever amino acids possible, if it is useful (and being insecticide is obviously useful, if you are a plant, and for reasons you mention yourself it is natural to use as insecticide some compound that is not normally utilized in the other organism). The question is how did it occur that these amino acids weren't present during immune system development? Why it was always the same 20?

I don't agree on sanctioning Brazil to Cuba levels. I do agree with sanctioning the beef/cattle industry there and I want to explain why:

Some of the staunchest supporters of Bolsonaro are from agrobusiness, they support him because of the removal of environmental protections so they are more free to take over land, illegally at first and I see that more and more this government will create frameworks to make that legal.

They support him because of his anti-environmental stance, because of his defunding of IBAMA (Brazil's environmental protection agency, responsible for investigation and enforcement of those laws), defunding and removing security to the officers that go to remote areas on the north of Brazil. These people risk their lives, that area of Brazil is a wild west with hitmen and killings happening if those farmers get a wiff that their illegal land grab is being scrutinised. Usually those officers would have support from the police and the army or national guard, now they have nothing and they refuse to do their inspections without it.

Apart from that, just this year his government has approved 290 new pesticides to be used in Brazilian fields, there are another 500+ to be "analysed" but will probably get a straight stamping out of it, news this week just reported that half a BILLION bees have died in Brazil this year, there is a very strong signal to connect those.

I was born and raised in Brazil, I've been educated and hearing about these massive land grabs and deforestation in the Amazon since I was a kid in 4th grade, it's never got much better and that is because of the agroindustry in Brazil, if the world keeps consuming beef from there it's only going to get worse. And fast.

So yes, I advocate now for sanctioning these industries that are the base supporters and financiers of Bolsonaro, he has the evangelical votes but those people are a danger to Brazil's society, not to the world as a whole, cattle farmers burning and destroying the Amazon, mining and oil companies applying for permits to install themselves in the jungle, THOSE are the industries that are gonna kill the Amazon and a big part of Earth with it.

I wish I'd had this in uni. I used to have to read 3 research papers a week on my Kindle,it was terrible having to zoom about before they had a touch screen.

The information is not encoded in the object but rather in the arbitrary set of coordinates imposed on it. You can always impose a set of coordinates where the object is at the origin, or where its position in all axes is a small integer.

Systems of coordinates don't have to linear, they don't even have to be monotonic. The underlying object is unchanged by a human making a choice of a set of coordinates in which to describe it, nor by switching to a different system of coordinates.

Your keyboard's "Q" key does not know when you think of it in terms of you-centric Cartesian-ish or spherical-ish coordinates. It doesn't know when someone nearby thinks of your "Q" key in a different set of coordinates, or with a different coordinate-origin, and it doesn't matter to the "Q" key or its behaviour even if those coordinates aren't relatable by e.g. a Lorentz transformation. A physicist might care about that. The engineers who blueprinted the keyboard might care about that too, for electronics-timing reasons, for example. The person nearby you might not.

It is that you are using a real valued coordinate system -- chosen by you, rather than by some law of nature, and certainly not by the "Q" key or any of its molecules or subatomic components -- that lets you encode the coordinates of its depressed position as containing some decimal representation of your login password. You are free to choose coordinates in which that information vanishes, just like you can choose a system of coordinates with the origin on the depressed Q key in which the entire works of Shakespeare can be found in the base-36 expansion of real-valued coordinates at some small spot in your left fovea.

> an irrational number cannot describe a physical object

Use a system of coordinates in which the centre of mass of your pineal gland is at the coordinate origin and the tip of your nose is at (x, \pi, z) at all times.

> Brasil needs to be heavily sanctioned by the international community...

Along with the US, Saudi Arabia, Russia and Australia. And probably a bunch of others.
Yeah. Even Europeans are shocked at the level of consumption in the US. Driving absolutely everywhere. Air conditioning everywhere keeping the buildings colder than necessary. Heating keeping them warmer than necessary. All plastic packaging is twice as thick and there's twice as much of it. Eating enough food to maintain an overweight/obese body. It's an extremely wasteful society.

If we as a species are going to do anything it has to be all together. We all have to make cuts. Only a tiny number of individuals will voluntarily give up what they have. Why would they? It's just not fair. Many simply can't give it up without losing their jobs etc. We cannot point at Brasil while we are also living far beyond our means.

I think there is, but it'd need to be very different to existing operating systems to justify itself, and in ways that other OS's can't simply adopt for themselves. In practice that means radical architectural change, and even then you'd re-use a lot of code.

For such a project you don't really want to just adopt existing ideas and implement them. I don't really understand why Google is doing Fuschia for this reason: architecturally it's nothing special. Is the GPLd Linux so bad? It took them this far.

If I were to do a new OS I'd explore ideas like all software running on a single language-level VM with a unified compiler (e.g. a JVM), a new take on software distribution ... maybe fully P2P, rethinking filesystems and the shell, making it radically simpler to administer than Linux, etc. You'd need to pick a whole lot of fights and make a lot of controversial decisions to justify such a lot of work: you'd need to be right about things other people are wrong about, not just once but multiple times. Then maybe if people see it working well they'd join you and port existing software, albeit, the porting process would inevitably involve some rewriting or even deeper changes, as if you can just run existing software and get all the benefits you probably didn't change anything important.
I have worked remote last 5 years and there is no tool that has truly solved Information asymmetry that remote workers meet every day.

If we are going to talk about NoSQL databases as an OS, we could also talk about early implementations of MUMPS and PICK, each of which was once upon a time delivered as a standalone operating system.
