It's not just greed--there simply aren't that many other options.

Many fields now have postdocs but that's another 3-5 years, during which you'll make $50k/year, have limited job security, and may need to move. If your research works out well (good results, hot field, right connections with other researchers), you can join the fray that is the academic job market, and scrap for grants to hang onto the job. If it doesn't, it becomes harder and harder to stay a postdoc: fellowships are mostly limited to new PhDs, grants don't have enough room for non-student salaries, and institutional policies force you out.
Rust cannot be used in most professional use cases where Ada programs can be deployed because the Rust toolchain isn't a qualified one for any of the various IEC 61508 derived qualification regimes.

Which is a shame, because Rust is a great fit for these use cases. Though there are a lot of ecosystem shaped things that present practical challenges too: things that should/could be in no_std but unnecessarily depend on std instead, a variety of cargo workflow issues, etc.

There's a group in Germany (I think) that proposed attempting to qualify Rust to get it approved for inclusion in the list of 61508 languages, but that proposal did not seem to be met with much enthusiasm.

We're using Rust to build tools to service those kinds of industries, and it's non-trivial to justify its use even in adjacent tooling. Let alone to be directly deployed to a target device.
Why does he even need to ask around for an extra $2 million in the first place? I mean, I get that not all of his $100 billion fortune is entirely liquid at any point in time, but surely this should be doable in pretty short order?

I keep a charger on my desk at work and if I remember I top it up sometime in the afternoon, if not I charge it in the evening.

I do miss the week long battery from my Pebble Time, but having to charge it daily hasn't been a real problem. The main nuisance is needing to bring the proprietary charger when I travel for a couple days.
I think all day depends on the specific device. For example, I would accept a 10 hr battery life for a laptop or wireless headphones as "all-day" because that will cover a full work day and people aren't expected to use those devices 24/7. 18 hours for "all-day" on a wearable seems reasonable if the expectation is that it will be used only when the user is awake. A complicating factor is that Watch OS 6 is supposed to include sleep tracking. Making that functionality native would seem to recommend wearing the watch 24/7 in a way that wasn't encouraged when that was handled by 3rd party apps. In my opinion, that changes the definition of "all-day" for this device.

EDIT: I am just catching up on all the announcements, while it was expected in the lead up to today[1] there was no talk of native sleep tracking during the event. I wonder if it will be rolled out quietly so Apple could have plausible deniability on 24/7 usage being "recommended" or if they decided to completely scrap it due to battery performance issues.

> getting feedback that is very often unwanted

Oooh, interesting. I find that feedback that is unwelcome is often the most valuable sort as it gets to the heart of assumptions that need questioning (I think Drucker's point about disagreement is much the same point). Did you mean unwelcome in a different way?

> If you have to ask them what they did last week, that's because you're not paying attention. If you have to ask them if they are struggling, that's also an issue, you should know better, this is your job.

Oh god, a competent manager. Duck, everyone, the sky must be falling.
Proof that money can't buy everything.
If they only use it internally and not on external-facing sites then the security issue is somewhat less urgent.
Most of the Apple Watch features and apps are in the phone. Still nice to have them on your wrist.
VHDL is quite strong across European companies.
Well all that, but more importantly, it makes a shit ton of money for the top schools. No way they'll agree to get rid of it.
Honestly, I wish cigarettes were illegal and the same goes for e-cigarettes. Neither is needed by society and one for sure brings nothing but pain and misery to the masses. Had they been illegal I wouldn't be dealing with a 17 year long addiction problem.
Oh, I remember that one !

Personally I just set up (dev machine is always running some Debian or derivatives) Traefik as a reverse proxy and set up local dev websites/app with *.localhost. I don't bother adding localhost self-signed certs to FF though (never really could make it work anyway). Easier to click "yes, trust that certificate for that localhost subdomain).
Perhaps it's naive of me to think that Apple will ever detach the Watch from the Phone and allow set up and full use cases for users who don't have an iPhone. I'd definitely buy a cellular enabled Apple Watch and ditch my phone if possible.
I got one of these guys (Garmin fenix 5x plus) for that very reason:

It's the only watch (or was at the time) that has an independent Spotify app.
There is some overlap in the use cases between Ada-in-the-mainstream (which seems to be what the article is suggesting) and Rust. The existence of Rust will make it even harder for Ada to break out of its existing domains.

Both seem to have good ecosystems, but quite different. Ada has more high-assurance tooling and practices. Rust has more in terms of packaging and general-purpose high level libraries.

With Ada, it's pretty hard to shake the feeling that it's not as welcoming. Either you are building a spacecraft, or "what are you doing here?". Not that anyone actually says that, and in my limited experience playing with the language, everyone seemed nice. It's just a feeling that's hard to escape. I wish it weren't so, because I think Ada has a lot going for it and it could be good in more donains.

One kind of cool thing is that it's designed to get by without so many heap allocations, and it does some interesting things to allow/encourage more stack allocations. It also has more sophisticated runtime checks, like contracts, that are kind of between a unit test and a compile-time check.

Rust is great at managing complexity. I keep holding out hope that Ada can somehow give us some simplicity back while still making useful software.
TL:DR - Flavored Juices make up 80% of the market, ban flavors will leave big players left to own the market.

Opinion: There are many ways we could regulate this better than an outright ban. Banning things will only lead to black market sales. We should go to all brown packaging, ban any outside advertising, actually fine shops who don't comply and by using education and transparency explain to the youth why it is detrimental to their health.

I cannot even remember how many flavored alcohol ads I saw during the NFL games over this past weekend....yet they get a free pass...

I agree we have to do something, but whenever a politician says, "It's for the kids" it tends to be for anything but and they are using that line to pull the heartstrings of parents.

Why isn't Juul being regulated? They are partnered with Altria.

There was recently a merger between Phillip Morris and Altria

https://www.vapor4life.com/blog/altria-pmi-merger/

FTA

>Altria supports a flavor ban, which would benefit a combined Phillip Morris- Altria. The one-note iQOS is a much more appealing option when pitted against tobacco ejuice flavors, which simply are not as popular with adult smokers as the sweeter varieties.

>With no fruit and dessert flavors to compete with, it would boil down to who has the best tobacco flavor. Altria clearly thinks the iQOS would win that contest. The edge is even greater when it comes to novices and smokers who have never tried vaping.

>Where Juul ends up, and if it will be pitted head to head against the iQOS is another market disruption that is nearly impossible to predict.

>We are fast approaching a scenario that resembles regulatory capture. The practiced hands of the tobacco industry are the largest and most influential stakeholders. They are pushing for regulations that destroy the competition and leave their own products untouched.

>How the public would react to this sleight of hand and a restructured vaping industry dominated by Big Tobacco and Juul could end up making this power move a pyrrhic victory.
There are at least 5 better alternatives to wind and solar, but we don't teach science any more in public schools.

I’ve been using mine for sleep tracking for years?

My routine is to charge my Apple Watch when I come back from work and put it back on before I go to sleep.

Or is there some other sleep related feature that requires a sensor other than HR that I’m not aware about?
There are a decent chunk of EEs/CpEs doing work that bridges hardware and software. For example, they might be writing VHDL or Verilog for an FPGA and also writing C/C++ for the microcontroller that interfaces with it.

Also, there are lots of professional software developers who studied Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering in college. Many schools historically had all their CS classes and faculty within their EE department.
Why not the other remaining six vendors?
I didn't understand this comment:

"The pool of affluent 18-year-old Americans was shrinking, especially in the Northeast, and the ones who remained had come to understand that they had significant bargaining power when it came to negotiating tuition discounts with the colleges that wanted to admit them."

Are negotiated tuition discounts a thing? I've never heard of that.
5th generation of the Apple Watch and it still doesn't come close to replacing my Pebble, unfortunately. At least it's closer to an actual watch now, with an always-on screen, but it still can't last 24 hours on a charge.
I think an even stronger version applies. Humans are not general intelligences. We are just good at keeping ourselves alive and making more of us on this planet (and in this ecosystem). All the rest - language, science, culture, economy - are just our current solution to solving the constraints of life.

In order for an intelligence to be called general it would be necessary to be effective in all situations. Humans only perceive the world through our five limited senses and then filters it through the coloured glass of our concepts. We can't escape the limitations of our senses and mental models taken together.

Humans can't even keep in the working memory more than 7 objects at once, some people can handle a few more but not on the order of hundreds or thousands. What if the real ultimate theory of physics required a working memory of 1000 objects? We'd be forever blocked from grasping it like an ant vs. the stock-market. Programmers live at the edge of this grasping power and know the horror of not being able to take it all in at once, and it's so easy to get into such a situation.

It is possible that there is no general intelligence anywhere. It's always an intelligence of a specific environment, solving specific types of problems. A general intelligence would need a much more varied and challenging environment in order to reach that level of intelligence.

The more complex the environment, the higher the intelligence of its agents. So there is always going to be an upper limit to intelligence, and the environment has a lot to do with it. No intelligence is truly general.

This isn't so much about React as that the expectations for web applications have skyrocketed in the last five years. Before 2012 or so you could call yourself a front end developer with good knowledge of html and CSS and little bit of javascript. If you were working in the industry back then and you're one of those people, you've had to teach yourself to be a proper software engineer in that relatively small amount of time. It's possible that the complexity growth curve has rounded off and over the next five years things will settle down and mature (fingers crossed).
To make the system close for a single site (without any geographical diversity) is to produce about 3 times as much solar energy you need and install enough batteries to meet 48 hours of average demand. That's enough to deal with seasonality and with cloudy weather to provide a constant output for an entire year.

The 48 hours of battery would last a really long time as typically only about 12 hours will need to be used, thus you'd get very long cycle life. A battery used so lightly could get 10,000 effective full cycles, so probably would last multiples of 25 years from a cycle life perspective (calendar life may be another thing).

EDIT: If you add in geographical diversity and diversity in sources like wind, hydro, and geothermal, then you need to throw away a lot less energy and you need a lot less storage. IMHO, we should just bite the bullet and install a bunch of transmission lines (which could be done in 2 years, enabling us to decommission coal power within about 2 years in the US).

I hate it when marketers get to make up their own meaning of commonly used words, usually making them mean less than they ordinarily do. With "all-day" meaning anything between 6.5 (see parallel comment) and 20 hours, it's becoming a worthless and purposefully confusing term.

(Note if that a physical store advertises it's open "all day", you expect it to be open from 00:00 to 23:59.)

>Wiley was obsessed with starting a business. One day it was a smoothie stand, the next it would be a gallery, then a VR headset company, then a ‘coder’, then a spaceship building company.

To me, this sounds like the father shouldn't be worried too much. Wiley loved the way his father was to the point of wanting to emulate him.

>Damn, could that kid dance.

The kid gave it all, like his father. Without such a role model, would he have been the same kid? Would he have had such a precious life?
Amusing but only superficially a counterexample because the bug was basically in a specification-implementation mismatch. Nothing in the language can catch that.
Like these sibling comments, after owning one, I really don't mind. I waited until the 4th generation Fossil Explorist started to go on sale and got it for well under $200.

Such a heart breaking story. For me it was taking a walk around the office and seeing a private plane take off from San Carlos airport, here its engine sputter, and then watching as it fell from the sky into the "lagoon" next to a hotel. Life ends. Really slammed home how a 'normal' day could suddenly be a really bad day, or your last day.

One of the unfortunate challenges of tech work is that as someone young and single you can spend all your time at work with your colleagues building really cool stuff and get the social fix and the financial rewards of lots of hard work. And if you get married and have kids, and suddenly the demands of the family keeps you from putting in the same amount of time at work, well you find yourself either explaining to your boss why you aren't getting as much done, or explaining to your spouse why you don't seem them as much as they would like. Can be tricky to navigate to a new normal.
Vulnerability on cybersecurity for critical infrastructure is a known-known.

Best practices have been and continue to be the lowest common denominator and an abysmal failure. Compliance solves nothing, and it is a make work project for compromised jobsworth consultants who lack the standing to tell anyone they told us so.

What I am arguing is tech and poor management culture in energy and infrastructure companies is the weak link that gave away the empire.
You are missing my point as well. Why is malice only a possibility when incompetence is not? It makes no sense. In fact, the malicious would definitely take advantage of situations where they could use incompetence as an alibi.
I mean, watch it yourself and decide. I’d find it difficult to see how anyone could come away with anything other than the more-or-less self-evident notion that Ma is a moron, Musk is extremely intelligent, and they’re both egomaniacal, albeit expressed pretty differently.

I don’t see a reason to compare Ma’s complete lack of reasoning skills to Musk’s absurd tweets. That’s whataboutism. Sure, Musk is all sorts of fucked up in his own way, but he’s no idiot; besides, that isn’t what we’re talking about here — unless for whatever reason you’re trying to defend Ma (which, again, seems like a pretty pointless exercise if you watch even a few minutes of that video), Musk’s weird ass behavior (which wasn’t exhibited in the video in question) has no bearing on this discussion.

I don’t have a dog in this race and would really prefer to never meet either of them, as they both seem pretty insufferable. My point is simply that Ma is damn near indefensibly stupid and (unfortunately, a trait that seems on the rise amongst prominent people in the world today) a poster child of the Dunning-Kruger effect.

Perhaps if the NSA spun off a white-hat cyber defense organization?

If I knew a 3-letter federal organization was dedicated to defensive tools, white-hat pen testing, and US infrastructure cyber security, I might consider joining. But the NSA has managed to tarnish its name with domestic cyber spying on US citizens, and that should have been the realm of the FBI, which is supposed to follow laws and can be audited.
I've been on the internet since 1994. I hate to tell you this but in 25 years it hasn't gotten any better- just louder.

My limited experience with dynamic languages vs the more persnickety typed languages is with the former you really really really need unit testing. I found the more type enforcement the less bugs of the sort unit tests catch. I wonder what programmers of that era would have thought is their introduction to dynamic languages was in an environment heavy on TDD and unit tests. Likely not so fond.

>There were people around him who were saying, hey, if you want to raise money for global health and get more philanthropy, he knows a lot of rich people.

"Gee Jeffrey, do you think you could help me make some more rich friends to help with good deeds?"

I also feel like that sentence was a bit truncated "he knows a lot of rich people... because he runs a sex island where influential people can get and do anything they want."

Though this happened at GE too over a long time with a traditional corp gov structure.

I'm blanking on the tech company [1] that recently gave into the pro-traditional corp gov people and gave up their super-voting shares, only for Wall St. to start screwing them and the long-term of the company, which was reported as a blow for the pro-trad corp gov people.

It's a hard call, but I think I'm still for close control by the founders. Sure Elon might've promised too much and pushed Tesla too far, but if they put in a former auto exec I suspect the company wouldn't be as far along as it is.

The SolarCity acquisition OTOH seems like Elon taking a bonus for himself and having the power (via his votes, but also who he is for the company / execution) to make the board go along with it.

I suspect Neumann's investors are in too deep to challenge his craziness (sound like anyone else?) but the market rightly smells bullshit.
