Never. A better question is how will smartphones evolve.

Phones are humanity's magic crystals which enables everyone to send instant communication channel to anyone else and tap in the greatest common knowledge base ever. I don't think there is a reasonable future without everyone having his own personal device for this function. Maybe it won't called a "smartphone" but it will provide these functions.

I suspect very strongly that each of your 'marginalised' groups would have much greater luck discussing politics at works than its opposite. I can't imagine any tech company these days allowing folks to use work time to support the traditional view of marriage, traditional gender roles or old-fashioned racial views (that last, in particular, is completely unimaginable — and that's a really good thing!).

I think the privilege right now belongs to those in those 'marginalised' groups, who have the privilege to advocate for their views.

The problem is that some states like California have decided that if a fire is started as a result of the power lines interacting with anything, even as a result of an accident/severe weather, the power company is 100% responsible for the cost of cleanup. Which of course means that for a power company, the only 100% logical decision is to shut off power any time there is a strong wind - why the hell would any company ever risk a multi-million dollar bill for putting out fires if they can just simply switch off the power for a while? They can do their dilligence and clear out any branches near the powerlines, but accidents still happen and as long as the power company is held 100% responsible financially for those I don't see how they could not shut down power during severe weather.
Tech startups and the Angel/VC ecosystem feels like a Ponzi scheme sometimes. The goal doesn’t seem to be to create a profitable business, but to make a good exit with the next investor’s money (or the public’s in the case of an IPO).

Gmail thankfully sends all the republican and democratic party emails I receive straight to spam.

One year, I made a concerted effort to troll some friends by getting them bumper stickers from the opposing party that they supported (e.g. dems got republican bumper stickers, repubs got democrat bumper stickers).

Since then, despite being sure to opt out of mails at the time of purchase, and clicking 'unsubscribe' numerous times, both parties continue to spam me.

Gmail filters these emails into spam for me. Thank goodness.

I'm led to believe that if enough gmail users mark emails as spam, this will get fed across to other users that haven't. So you can probably blame people like me for marking these messages as spam, for it occurring to you.

Or y'know, they could actually honor the 'unsubscribe' request and stop spamming me, and I wouldn't have to mark it (legitimately) as spam.

Subscriptions are cool right now. It's an easy way, especially when you're a new company, to show that people like your product and need your product enough to use it on a recurring basis.

One off purchases are great for consumables. You wouldn't expect a shoe company to have recurring revenue (at least not monthly, should hopefully take a bit longer than that for shoes to wear out). But for software, the current emphasis is on making products people use, and pay for, regularly.
Many of those 21 MPs have already signalled they would vote with the government.

Because Labour is looking like such an election winning machine right now:

'Louise Ellman quits Labour party with fierce attack on Corbyn

...the Jewish MP attacked the Labour leader’s record on antisemitism, saying: “Under Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership, antisemitism has become mainstream in the Labour party. Jewish members have been bullied, abused and driven out. Antisemites have felt comfortable and vile conspiracy theories have been propagated. A party that permits anti-Jewish racism to flourish cannot be called anti-racist.”

She added: “The overwhelming majority of the Jewish community is fearful of what a Corbyn government might mean for Britain’s Jews. I share those concerns. But this issue is not simply about the Jewish community. This is about the nature of our society. Jeremy Corbyn’s seeming tolerance of antisemitism would embolden racists, poison our public debate and damage the social cohesion of our country.'

We definitely should tax all dirty energy, and the shifting price landscape will do a lot to fix the environmental issues we're facing.

That said, it's not enough - because the market isn't some NP-complete-problem-solving magic oracle. It's just a greedy optimization algorithm. It's very prone to falling into bad local optima. We know that for a fact, that's the basis of most regulations around markets. Left unattended, the market would happily prioritize mining Bitcoin over producing food, as running Bitcoins in circles is more profitable than selling grain - up until there's an actual shortage of food and the market self-destructs.

You clearly don’t know the worldview of Republicans, most of whom own guns. Many are ready to defend the Republic against all enemies - foreign and domestic. Gun ownership is an inoculation against totalitarianism.

So far you seem to be a pessimistic outlier without solutions. This attitude is easily exploited by authoritarians.
I had a browser based video editor startup (we failed). Video editing on the desktop sucks if you are not a pro. For causal users it's like rocket science. Enabling video editing in the browser is a godsend since it takes out so much from the equation which makes it hard.

Theresa May had a deal agreed with the EU, and one that was softer than this. The DUP hasn't agreed to it, and there's no indication it can get through Parliament. If it does, it could have a confirmatory referendum attached.

Not only that, but there's so little time until Parliament's potential vote on this on Saturday that there will be very little scrutiny on what it contains.

The mooted deal is also contrary to Boris Johnson's previous statements on border restrictions AND I believe it still has to be ratified by the EU before 31st October which means a short extension is still likely.

This shit-show still has a long way to go.

Not to mention that even if the deal does go through, that's not Brexit "done". There are years of negotiations that need to happen to get the UK back on the same footing as we were pre-Brexit.

Here's the text of the deal:

Ahem...as far as I can tell, this is the solution the EU initially proposed wrt Northern Ireland. It was the UK that rejected that solution.

So "only deal" is always in the context of "respecting UK red lines". Many other deals were on offer, including Norway etc.

It was the only deal with the red lines May had declared. Johnson was willing to compromise, so a different deal could be struck.

A different deal could also be struck if the UK were willing to stay fully in the customs union or otherwise were willing to align themselves more to the EU.
I cannot even express how much love and gratitude I feel to him and people like him. He is like the father to all those people whose lives he saved. Something inside me is longing to be able to do similar deeds, and have such a meaningful, impactful life!
A few years ago, when Intel had no competition, going for more than 6 cores meant that you had to sacrifice single-thread performance.

Now, if you want more than 8 cores, single-thread performance is not a reason to use less than 16 cores (AMD @ 4.7 GHz) or 18 cores (Intel @ 4.8 GHz).

You may want to use less cores for cost reasons, but not for performance reasons.

We do not know yet the frequencies for the 24-core Threadripper to be launched next month.

If they would succeed to have a 4.8 GHz single-core turbo, then ST performance would not be the reason to use less than 24 cores.
For one, the actual editing industry operates mostly offline. The amount of data is simply too large to rely on cloud apps.
Then go work for a non-profit. There's a lot of e.g. human rights NGOs needing IT people and having a hard time finding them.

I was at a NGO for a while where we interviewed North Korean refugees about execution and burial sites and collected the information in a PostGIS db with QGIS as a frontend and working towards a custom UI plugin for the interview process, and it was very rewarding. Their operations also had a lot of unique security challenges to deal with.
And of course it's not the only deal - but notice that it moves none of the EU "red lines". Instead it puts a customs border between parts of the UK. Which was previously unthinkable on the UK side. And was certainly not in the Leave referendum prospectus.

Anyone who thinks this deal is good - better than remain - needs to articulate why a customs border in the UK is an improvement.
my point is that yaml isn't easier to write at all; it isn't as verbose but it bites you all over the place with unexpected behavior and the fact that validating the schema isn't the same as checking the syntax is super frustrating as you can create a valid yaml file with a typo and it'll be an either invalid or noop configuration. i'd rather have a proper DSL, preferably strongly typed.
I've been using org-mode in the Emacs editor for years. Despite my 25 years of professional experience, I have not found anything that would be comparable to getting involved.

This is a good explanation, but I'm not so sure the missing piece is so clear in the case of dark matter (and the blog post explained this nicely).

Sure, dark matter can explain those, but what if there's some not yet imagined change to the equations that gives the same results.

Maybe gravitational attraction is not r^2 at some non-obvious scale that we failed to measure (meters? mm? Casimir effect on cosmic dust? Solar system sized gravitational anomalies?)

Why relativity makes Mercury's orbit precess is very not obvious (I mean, the two-body problem is already hard without relativity). The bending of light is a more obvious effect for example.
Cause people voted it so, and keep on voting this way. And no, dismissing them as stupid isn't helping one bit. They have their reasons for doing it. They may well be opaque, mistaken or (often) plain selfish, but there are always reasons.

The biggest problem to me is that XML is not a data serialization language, it's a document markup language. In documents, the distinction between attributes and content makes sense. In data serialization, the choice of whether a given datum is an attribute or a text content appears rather arbitrary. Should I write this?

<book>
<title>XML Cookbook</title>
<author>Jane Doe</author>
</book>

Or this?

<book title="XML Cookbook" author="John Doe" />

Now attributes don't work when there are multiple values, so I guess I should use attributes for single values and child nodes for lists:

<book title="XML Cookbook">
<author>Jane Doe</author>
<author>Tim Pickens</author>
</book>

But that rule also has problems. If I decide to include markup in the title, it suddenly needs to be a child node again:

<book>
<title>The <strong>Awesome</strong> <abbr>XML</abbr> Cookbook</title>
<author>Jane Doe</author>
<author>Tim Pickens</author>
</book>

Also, "author" is a misleading name for a field that is actually an array, so should I actually use an "authors" node to make that clearer?

<book>
<title>XML Cookbook</title>
<authors>
<author>Jane Doe</author>
<author>Tim Pickens</author>
</authors>
</book>

Or maybe:

<book>
<title>XML Cookbook</title>
<authors>
<person name="Jane Doe" />
<person name="Tim Pickens />
</authors>
</book>

Now compare to this to YAML:

book:
title: XML cookbook
authors:
- name: Jane Doe
- name: Tim Pickens

Or even just:

book:
title: XML cookbook
authors: [ Jane Doe, Tim Pickens ]

I need to make way fewer design choices when writing that down. In fact, I probably don't need to design anything since that's already the data structure that I've written down as a type somewhere in my code. That's why it's a good idea to use a data serialization language for, well, data serialization.
> This is the only deal

That was true given the constraints imposed by UK. If UK was willing to change the "red lines" different deals were always possible. The whole UK backstop for example was actually requested by the UK, EU only wanted NI in. It seems that Boris backtracked from it (details are still not known) and a new deal was made.

For me the surprising thing is that Boris actually managed to get a deal at all, as most just assumed he was stalling.

Just not true.
Why wouldn't you out it in a browser? Saves tons on OS specific builds, works on any machine you log into.

Google docs, Invision, canva, all browser based.

And then, if you really want to make a desktop version, you take a shortcut and put in in electron. Which is just a browser.
It's the same deal only the backstop is a permanent arrangement.

The Conservatives would at the very least lose a sizable chunk of their seats to Farage's Brexit Party.

But Boris is a bit out of options here. As you said, he already lost the majority so the only thing keeping him in power right now is that the opposition didn't yet vote on removing him.

What's more: he is not May.

He might actually come out of an election successfully in that he can keep being the PM, forming a coalition with the Brexit Party that keeps him in power. While his own party would still have lost lots of seats and lots of goodwill for going in bed with the Brexit Party. But he won't mind, it's Boris First, Party distant second, Country somewhere behind that as a third.

Yes, SaaS is hot now, but this doesn't explain why.

> an easy way [...] to show that people like your product and need your product

This attempts to explain an advantage of Saas, but totally neglects the viewpoint of the customer. And that's the problem I have with it: SaaS is an advantage in the relation between the company and their investors (look, recurring revenue!), but for the customer it's often not a good thing.
> I have never heard of a power company in any developed country handling the problem like this.

The power company has declared bankruptcy and at that point it's not free to make costly business decisions as it likes.

> Your assertion that hiring more women will lower standards is premised on a belief that men are inherently better.

You are incorrect. Let's imagine a group of ten men and ten women: we want to hire four in total. Let's assume that we can reduce a potential employee's worth down to a single number from 1 to 10, in order to simplify the example. The men are rated [1, 2, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 9, 10]; the women are rated [3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 10]. In this example the women are better on average (5.6) than the men (5.5) — but hiring the top four candidates results in hiring three men [9, 9 & 10] and one woman [10].

This is because while the mean woman is better than the mean man, the standard deviation of skills is more widely distributed across men than women in the example: more men are excellent, but also more men are terrible (in the example, the lowest three candidates are men!).
And yet the one piece of attributed evidence this article even quotes is the CME saying it wasn’t a single actor.

These trades are fully attributed.

The exchange knows exactly who is trading them, the idea that a market actor would use inside info from many different governmental entities to buy giant blocks at the close for improvements over the next week is idiotic.

Meanwhile a lot of actors hedging positions in ways that hit the hedge is completely normal.

I don't own a Pixel I use a Sony device(Great devices with terrible software). Pixels 3+ are by far the most secure android devices out there.

I recently bought a Samsung watch. It's a solid responsive device with ok software, depending on what you may do in the wearables app it may or may not crash(The watch itself seems to have good battery life and pretty stable). I had an apple watch for a while that I gave my mom and unfortunately I have to say the Samsung device feels like a device with a lot of potential but not quite there yet. A lot of it has to do with the ecosystem. Tizen seems great, but the app store is so-so. The entire samsung login, region, payment, app store experience feels half-baked compared to the experience on a mac/apple device. I've been recently trying to figure out if I should buy a samsung device to access the ToF camera, but the documentation is virtually none existent(it's scheduled to come "eventually")

I somewhat wish they would license their tizen version to other vendors since it's way better than the WatchOS alternative.

I haven't been using mac/iphones in a few years rather than to test stuff, so maybe it really got a lot worse since then. But from what I remember the general experience felt a bit more smooth.

Yes this is well known (even if rather unpredictable) effect, but unless you are either solving mankind's urgent global issues or at least building your own company / organizing your own life, this approach sucks.

You basically prefer faster problem solving (which usually means work-related problems for your employer) to having a good long uninterrupted sleep, which is important in physical and mental regeneration.
