It's not impossible for that to be a clever decision by Amazon (although I'm not saying it's likely, I have no idea about the numbers).

The ultimate goal of the advertising is return on investment, not making you feel interested in the adverts. If, to exaggerate the possibility, 100% of "people who look at tech" are 0% influenced by adverts, but 10% of "people who bought a unicorn thing" will go on to buy another if they're constantly reminded that whoever they bought it for likes unicorns, all of a sudden it would make sense despite being counterintuitive to viewers.

A more commonly discussed example of a similar thing is that it's easy to think "I just bought a (dishwasher, keyboard, etc), I obviously already have one so why am I seeing adverts for them?" Sure, it might be that the company responsible has an incomplete profile and doesn't know you bought one already. But it's also possible that the % of people who just bought the item and then decide they don't like it, return it and buy a different type is high enough to be worth advertising to them.
The internet started as a government program, and so much for a "free market" when monopolistic ISPs control access to it.

Was this mobile VR? Because that is horrible and nauseating and likely won't ever be a thing in the next decade.

As long as you're using solid VR game design principles, the biggest being: don't move the player using artificial locomotion, people do not feel sick. The hardware is ready in that regard - motion sickness is a solved problem.

Many games ignore that and have you moving with a joystick - you can get used to it, but it should always be optional imo.

My bias is simply from people I've showed my own hardware to, family and friends, not tech people who have a vested interest. The excitement is there, just not as a mass-market consumer product yet.

I admit the hardware is immature in every other respect: comfort, weight, audio, cables and display quality.

? Buses are definitely easy to reroute, but electric trains are much easier to "green". I'm slightly surprised we've not seen trolleybuses as a compromise, but I guess the wiring is too expensive.

Uh, no they wouldn't. They'd kill them for what they are -- rioters and looters, assaulting people and terrorizing an entire city of 17 million people.

They wouldn't care about losing. It's about response. Our response to riots like this is to declare martial law and send in the law enforcement and troops.

"will be avoided"?? as if they didn't happen.

Hong Kong was never promised democracy nor independence in any agreement with China. It's been talked about, again and again.

If you think that this is what the HK riots have been all about, think again. Poverty, housing, criminality, Canton vs Mandarin, HK vs China -- the British faced this several times and their response was exactly what the US would be, with a large death toll. The government didn't change hands at that point, kiddo.

I can relate to this 100%. The funny thing is though, I actually like it when friends give me candid unsolicited advice -- of course as long as it's communicated respectfully and not in a condescending manner. I take it as a sign that someone is more than superficially interested in the interaction with me, and it helps me understand other people's viewpoints.

“look, I have to tell you something really really important”

See, this is what I mean. In that case it was your friend giving you unsolicited advice and it sounds like it was actually important advice to receive and your life improved as a consequence. Do you now like your friend less?

This is still monkeys and typewriters, just the keys write entire words and dynamically change to a set of likely words based on some corpus of literature. And it's heavily editorialized.
"some terrorist knife attacks in 2014" -- you mean the Turkestan Liberation Movement, which has been going on for 140 years, which has ties to ISIS, which organized on Facebook (one major reason FB is banned, they refused to take action against the terrorists). Something like 60-70 dead is "some".

There's no genocide going on. Nor is there any British nor US-style response to the Hong Kong terrorists.

Polling the folks in Xinjiang, they found that the culture was repressive, divisive and anti-China. Hence the reeducation due to crazy ideology.

Just like the crazy Falun Gong people, believing they were growing beings in their arms, legs and other parts of their bodies with "Energy Techniques". China's not big on extremists and crazies.

See, the majority of China are pretty innocent people, and can be swayed and sucked in by cults and religions. That's why the government steps on them "with no mercy".

There's a huge difference in between the Nazis and the Chinese. You just refuse to see it because you don't have the background and education for it. Talk to some people who were around in World War II along with those in Afghanistan and see what they have to say about Nazis and Islamic Extremists. Though they might censor it to be politik these days.

China is about Unity, with the head of the family being State. Division isn't welcome. Cults aren't welcome. Religious movements are welcome in designated areas. "House Churches", "Private Priests" and "Private Imams" aren't welcome. Just like homeschooling isn't allowed in Germany these days so the closet Nazis don't have as many places to hide and indoctrinate people. Get over yourself.
It is the main idea of the algorithm, but as the paper itself says, there has been a trend towards this recently. I haven't read many of the papers they cite, but I do remember one of them ("Learning to predict without looking ahead: world models without forward prediction"). They had a neat site (learningtopredict.github.io). They write:

"We speculate that the complexity of world models could be greatly decreased if they could fully leverage this idea: that a complete model of the world is actually unnecessary for most tasks - that by identifying the important part of the world, policies could be trained significantly more quickly, or more sample efficiently".

That is just what this paper does, as I understand it, by bringing it together with the tree search from AlphaZero.
What is currently driving me crazy about slack is that:

1) Slack constantly makes subtle changes the UX that always takes a bit of time to figure out, I don't want to read update notes to find out how a critical comms tool has changed eg. yesterday the mac chat became psuedo wysiwhg and it broke my muscle memory and stuff bounces around while I'm typing, eg2. Drafts: FU, I didn't ask for you to reorder my UI around so I can't find stuff, DON"T CHANGE MY MENUS

2) Bugs, I left hipchat because they couldn't stop breaking stuff with every update. Many of Slack's changes are "breaking stuff" until you figure out what they've changed.
Also, presentations. It's pretty calming to know that every slide will look as intended, without anything misplaced or missing.
That has always been Microsoft's plan, to be "just good enough" to make the cost of switching outweigh the cost of muddling on.
>If so, the statement "It has changed me for the better" is really just saying "I feel better than before".

The point is what changed is the perception of your emotions. Instead of feeling stuck following your every negative thought you suddenly realize that you can influence how you feel. You dont just feel better then before, you arent still high, you found a way to influence how you feel. You are no longer stuck to the road, but realized that you can leave the road, turn the autopilot off. The way you deal with emotions has changed fundamentally by leaving the observer role. And who are we if not our actions. I would also say, anything that makes me decide to be a more aware and happier person is a fundamentally positive development as it gives me the opportunity for more meaningful decisions. And with me being happy, these decisions will likely be positive.

At the core of this question is your view on humankind. I dont think happier more self reflective people are a bad development. I think the best way to make the world a better place is by making more people happy. I think you have a higher capacity for doing good things for others if you arent miserable yourself, if you arent just coping with day to day life. And you have better chances to reduce bad unintended consequences if you work on being more self reflective.

I think the examples you bring are more caused by reevaluating ones moral compass then by changing how you function.

What a massive rip-off and insult.
I agree with what you said in this comment and the conversation below. Everyone already pays for access to the internet, either to their ISP or via a mobile data plan (with the majority probably paying for both).

In the early days of the internet, there was no expectation to be paid for creating content - people simply created it out of their own goodwill or because it's their passion.

If I set up a personal website, I expect that to be a sunk cost; people pay for my content with their attention. Obviously, attention doesn't put food on the table, but it's saddening to see the contrast between what the Internet could be, and what it is currently.
I think that is a mixed bag. I think it is really easy to feel objectively worse about your surroundings because if you are poor, you more easily see how much your are missing. You are continually surrounded by images of folks who have enough space, who are lucky enough to own a place, whose place looks clean when they clean (you can't always clean the cockroaches away nor paint away the dingy walls).

But on the other hand, you are more likely to be able to keep in touch with people. You are more likely to have some entertainment without leaving the house. You are more likely to be able to fix the loose table leg with the basic, cheap tools that you have or mend your clothes if you need really need to. When I was poorer, I would eat cheaper food to be able to afford internet just because it could distract me from my life. If you are lucky enough to have some weed as well, it makes for a much more comfortable life, even if imperfect. (Weed/hash makes me more OK with what I have and I can generally afford it before I could afford a monthly, steady rise in general household bills).

In other words: Only if you have a certain life satisfaction in the beginning.

I think the quote about mars is more indicative of the entertainment and communication that the internet brings and its innate ability to help time pass more quickly.
A marketplace. It connects startups with angels and job seekers.
I'm confused, do you honestly believe the person I was replying to doesn't know that Slack is critical comms infrastructure at a LOT of companies?
The real news is that it has emerged Swedish authorities wanted to drop this years ago and were "dissuaded" by UK authorities. Now that US extradition is likely, and a competing claim by Sweden would put that at risk, they conveniently withdraw - what are the chance they were "persuaded" by someone else, again?

Sweden really did a number on Assange.
> unions, which make money when employees and employers are in conflict

That's non sense. Unions are not for profit organisations making money during conflict.

Most unions are not for profit association representing their members for collective bargaining. Companies can and do have good relationship with unions. It is in everyone interest that the company works. It's just easier to negociate when you have collective power and can have a meaningful impact.

Also companies absolutely are not there to create wealth for their workers. Google especially has an history with non poaching agreements.
No, because most software development houses prioritize getting something that works over performance wankery.
Nope, and it's a bit suspicious. Still, I'm sure many will reimplement it. Unless they've left out some important detail, I think we'll get strong players using this approach in a couple of months.
It's not just that the eng/dev/power users (me) prefer the old behavior, it's that we're the only ones I see who use it.

I get little pangs of dread a split second before I realize I'm about to have to spend 10-30 seconds figuring out new formatting since it shipped.

And as a response, I'm less reluctant to use it, meaning my messages are less detailed, meaning longer conversation, less precision.

There is a chicken-and-egg problem with matrix. It's clearly nice, but the more people use it, the easier it will become to install/maintain. That's how wordpress wins over commercial blogging platforms.

One thing i found it hard to do is integrate matrix with an existing database of users. It would be perfect for our community chat.
I don’t doubt that. But, if they advertise a need for “front end developers”, that would strongly imply web developers.

I would definitely be surprised if they advertised a position for a “front end developer”, I applied and during the interview they asked questions about Windows Forms development.
NoSQL is not less important than others. Especially not with the rise of many startups that want to scale and want their sites to be lightning fast (e.g. available at the edge). Many companies I worked lately actually thought the non-traditional databases are becoming more important.

Also distinguishing NoSQL and SQL is quite old and still dating from the CAP theorem which is also becoming obsolete. You have traditional databases and the rest since 'NoSQL' are incorporating SQL features (ACID, joins, etc) and vice-versa, soon it will just be databases with feature X,Y,Z. If you want to add something I would rather add 'distributed databases'. Learn relational databases probably boils down to 'learn SQL'

Knowing which database to use in the landscape is extremely important.

It should imo be:
- Learn SQL
- Learn GraphQL (becoming the new SQL quickly)
- Learn gRPC
- Learn about database features (consistency, distribution, replication, sharding, OLTP, OLAP) and what database to use in which situation.
99% of the time, Slack is nothing more but a glorified, shitty messaging client. And most people I know don't even know why they're using slack, it's just that it's the tool they think everybody uses, and they don't really see why they should look elsewhere.
I don't see anything x86 specific on the article. It focuses on cache coherency, which is applicable to ARM and POWER, and there isn't much about memory model.

Even the description of MOESI is just an introduction and, as the article mentions, actual systems use more complicated protocols.

Edit: if anything, the misconception is that memory barriers have anything to do with cache coherency.
Oh man!, this guy has just described how I feel about this!. I've been thinking about trying other clients since yesterday...

> PDF has long become the de facto format for exchanging print-oriented documents on the Web, and for a good reason: it works, and reliably so!

Perhaps it's that way because it's read-only? If PDF files had to be generated in such a way that they can later be edited, things would get a lot more complex and probably less reliable.

Also it feels like it's the wrong way to go about it, because no matter what PDF editing will never be as powerful as a proper text editor. So it would be the wrong tool to collaborate on a document (because as soon as you want to do something more advanced with layout, images, etc. you probably can't). Maybe it's good if you want to quickly amend a contract before sending it, but then you need to remember that your .doc is no longer the latest version.

Basically a PDF document shouldn't be the source of truth for document editing as that would lock you to the wrong format.

> I think I'd like my media to remain separate from the state just as much as I'd like the church to remain separate from the state.

Complete separation of state and church is pretty rare. They often gain some form of tax benefit. Their buildings often holds central position in towns and if there property tax then they are exempted. If there are government initiatives for children, for arts, or other social benefits then the church is often a common actor in the end. Very few religious organizations that I know depend exclusively on members fees, and I live in Sweden where church being separated from the state is a common perception by those who live here.

If we apply this to local media then a government supported model would not inherently be controlled by the government. You could have government information awareness initiatives with criteria for the actor to have independent journalism. The local news agency would then bid for the job.
There's something in here but 1) Zillow/Redfin predictions bounce all over the place based (I think) on recent local sales 2) Good real estate agents are good at estimating actual selling prices.

Local news is more available now than previously.

There are mostly-free websites run by former print organizations, news websites started as digital-only by journalists, blog sites by local politically-involved commentators, and sites run by local government to publish council minutes, draft resolutions, meeting agendas, committee minutes, etc.

More detail and more points of view are available than one got from a subscription to a local print newspaper. As for local television, that primarily dealt with happenings in the core of the metro area, which are of little interest.
