2001 was the millennium for those of us who could.

2020 is the decade for those who still cannot count.

Therefore, I will wait until next year for the third decade of the 21st Century to come around before I make my predictions.

...And I would add that "2020's" should not have an apostrophe (it does not need it, its use here shows ignorance and adds nothing but confusion)! [It is no wonder that so much of the world's code is buggy when programmers cannot get the most basic and simplest syntax correct. Right, it's logically incorrect to add an apostrophe here.]
It’s probably not so much a spectrum as it is a pair of orthogonal axes.
It isn't. It is a settlement agreement that Musk personally and Tesla agreed to in order to avoid additional fines and penalties from his previous misconduct.
Possibly. Wafer scale integration has been investigated before though and there were even a couple of attempts at commercial products; it's not a brand new technology. Nevertheless, it might be interesting to examine Cerebras' patents to see if anything of significance relating to WSI is there.

lol someone was so irked by this small dose of truth that he proceeded to downvote all of my past comments
I'd posit that the morale and cultural issue is exacerbated in mid- to lower-income brackets by the ever tightening costs of surviving in modern society.

The fact people in general can barely maintain their own needs makes it even more of a struggle to sell helping everyone else in general (healthcare, fire departments, schools...). They, themselves, would like financial assistance but can't get it so have quite a bit of resentment (and who can blame them for that).

If most folks had more resources (e.g. money), I think you'd find the culture would shift a reasonable amount towards supporting things like universal healthcare, etc. In a culture driven by constant economic competition for survival, it makes sense that people don't want to help their potential economic enemies. If there's fewer people, there's less competition, less kids to grow up and displace them, etc.

There are still people who literally do not have any concern for the wellbeing of others and no amount of resources would change their perspectives but I argue those are relatively few in the general population.
Sadly, don't hold your breath for that in Australia.

Although if you are in Australia right now, you might still want to do just that.

It's all rather ironic right now.
That is equal parts mortifying and impressive that you diagnosed the root cause and were able to work around it.

I thought windows update failing because an unsupported, never-installed unrelated installer for Netware was in some custom-named obscure backup directory buried 4 levels deep was impressive.
IMO There is a much better case for: if you're not taking it in a spiritual setting you're doing it wrong.

Anecdotally I've had the bad experience and the life-changing transcendent experience, all self-directed.

In my experience. It's not good for partying, but it's very good for meditating and inquiring deep into the nature of your being, what reality is, what Love is and what God is.

I've had long periods in my life of being a hard-line rationalist atheist. And I've had direct encounters with God. If there is one thing I learned it's this: You can't take anything as a belief you have to validate it in your direct experience.
That’s basically what the health exchanges are. Small businesses do not have to provide health insurance; and in most cases the exchanges provide more choice and lower cost than small businesses would have access to.

But it does increase the gap in wages between the big corporates and small businesses. It’s very hard for small businesses to hire good talent when they can work in the corporate world for a higher salary plus benefits.
That aside, 112k reported Q4. That's pretty damn close to 500k annualized.
I find a lot of the bags and boxes I'm forced to use annoying. I buy one thing at the pharmacy and they print out a receipt that is sometimes 8 feet long (dead serious) and put it all in a bag that I would immediately throw away. I tell them I don't need the bag, but I'm still stuck with these ridiculous receipts full of coupons I don't care about. Purely from an annoyance standpoint, this bothers me a great deal.

I know the company/cashiers assume it's expected of them, but to me it's like the gallon sized drinks at fast food chains. It aggravates me that anyone thinks it's necessary.

The Amazon packing and boxing situation is a whole other level of annoying.
Hospitals are not a “business”. They are non profit companies that rake in revenue and billions in profit while undermining the cost of care to Americans.
The point was to get rid of packaging entirely, not just replace plastic packaging with paper or glass. I can't really see how I can hygienically procure and transport many basic food products and types without packaging.

This being said I think using and reusing more durable packaging should be the way forward. Glass in particular is one type that can be reused instead of recycled. I grew up with glass bottles (unbranded 0.5l and 1l) being reused and you'd trade an empty one in to get a full one. Most of the liquid stuff we had around the house was stored in these identical glass bottles instead of 100 different sizes and shapes of bottles.
According to the very person the article is about:

> "I think it is a moral requirement to make money when you can," Mulye told the Financial Times, "to sell the product for the highest price."

For bonus points, it's coupled with

> "I agree with Martin Shkreli that when he raised the price of his drug he was within his rights because he had to reward his shareholders," Mulye was quoted as saying.

and

> "I said I have to raise prices when I can -- how to get the best prices for my products, so that I can survive," Mulye told CNN. "It is about the survival of the business. It has nothing to do with morality."

Frankly, every quote of the guy confirms further that he is a troll trying to emulate Trump's arrogance and stir shit up.
True, I should have been more precise.

What I meant is the language does not force this on you as The Right Way To Do Things™ and thus it mostly boils down to organizing with peers and agreeing on a consistent set of guidelines (which goes well beyond language features...)
A good deal of that same group can get scammed over the phone. The issue doesn't seem to be so much about specific technology.

Granted, domains are "backwards", and browsers could be made to match known banking sites against every URL to warn of scams. But at the point where people are clicking scammy bit.ly links too, the domain part doesn't seem to be so key anymore.

In HTML (emails) you can make the url look like the real thing onscreen. Should GMail alert when anchor text is a different link than it actually links to? (Maybe it already does?)

I recently purchased a Ducky One 2 SF [1], which has built-in mouse functions. After remapping caps lock to Fn: left pinky + wasd for movement, q left click, e right click, r/f scroll. The default tracking speed is low, but thankfully iOS lets you change that. Configuring accessibility stuff to hide by default, you get a “mouse” when you need it and a pretty good keyboard when you don’t.

Other features: USB-C connector. It let me swap windows/alt-option so the command key is in the right place. Light weight plastic, but it’s Ducky so it still feels well built. Surprisingly, the silent red switches bottom-out quieter than my MacBook keys.

I leave you with my PgDn macro: sleep snug, smug.

The regex header doesn't seem to define anything called "match". It is probably a common variable name though. To me "inspect" implies the wrong action, so it would be nice if there was a better keyword.
Inspect breaks less existing code.
Lack of profit a deadlier hazard.
We were unsatisfied with Rq (I forget which parts, but I seem to recall there was lots of code that strictly wasn't needed) and wrote http://github.com/valohai/minique instead.

For less simple use cases, just use Celery.
Being a luxury isn’t necessarily a bad thing. There’s some cost to being a trailblazer, but it opens the trail for others to follow.

In this case, being able to pick and choose suppliers who can accommodate their needs is a luxury, but once the suppliers are tooled for that, it’s easier for others with less clout to follow.

A lot of changes are chicken and egg scenarios, where the market can’t move without the supply chain, and the supply chain can’t move without the demand. If someone has the means to kickstart that, more power to them. For example, 10 years ago smartphones were a luxury - now I know homeless people who use them to access public services. And I don’t see how we could have got to this point, without starting at “luxury”.
What's particularly interesting is that military spending is completely socialized, and this does not seem to bother people nearly as much.

My 2030 Predictions:

1. The Non-proliferation Treaty on Nuclear Weapons finally collapses as a mass exodus of non-nuclear weapon states leaves in favour of the TPNW, forcing the hand of the the Nuclear Weapon States and their allies to accede into the legally binding treaty in order to curtail further nuclear proliferation events.

2. Trump gets a second term.

3. 'America first' mentality continues to have repercussions as Sino-American Cold War escalates. Allies under the nuclear umbrella worry about the credibility of US security guarantees as fears and anxieties over a 'Thucydides trap' begin to take hold. U.S. reassures its allies but when push comes to shove, fails to intervene, sending out a signal to those remaining in the alliance that they lack credible commitments.

4. South Korea will finally obtain sovereign nuclear weapons capabilities as the denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula falls flat from continued DPRK aggression. Japan, despite a historically strong public opinion against this class of weapon, may eventually do so as well although much of this will depend on how vulnerable it feels.

5. Hybrid warfare will continue to define 21st century military strategy, with attacks on critical infrastructure targets such as power, water, and sewage systems taking major cities offline for weeks at a time. The lack of attribution will make retribution difficult and countries will begin to point fingers at likely adversaries.

6. Government surveillance becomes omnipresent in most developed societies. You don't watch the internet, the internet watches you and does so through a variety of technological mediums you invite into your lives, all in the name of convenience. Of course this is already happening, but in the next decade it will be taken to its logical conclusion and the majority of people will begin to understand the relationship between privacy and consumer-grade technology, namely the fact that the two are mutually exclusive. Which brings me to my next point.

7. Dumb phones will be a lot more popular than they are now. I'm talking 2000-era 3310s. You already see senior intelligence officials carrying around decades old phones for communication. They don't do this just because they like playing snake.

8. Vertical farming of cruciferous vegetables will be commonplace and most major supermarket chains will begin growing their own to sell to consumers.
Smoking anything has no relation to protected class status.

The question is if they'd qualify as Disabled under the ADA as addictions can qualify as a disability.

Yep, I can see some Acer, Lenovo or HP options in that range, but all of them are equipped with Celeron N4xxx CPUs, 4 GB of ram and 64 GB eMMC, not exactly stellar...

He didn't say it was "annualized." Therefore he made a factual reporting error, which means the statement likely wasn't pre-approved, and therefore directly violated the SEC agreement (both versions).

A follow up tweet doesn't allow him to bypass the pre-approval process he agreed to in the settlement.
- major military conflict between US and China breaks out, but nuclear weapons are not used

- America’s formal military alliances are significantly disrupted and at least one state outright leaves NATO

- after progress in self driving cars slows, industry shifts focus to low-hanging fruit: fully-autonomous trains and planes

- Jai has greater marketshare than Rust

- JS is the overwhelming language of choice for frontend web development

- no measurable technological unemployment. longterm unemployment increases but is entirely due to political and economic factors

- more people play games on traditional game consoles than VR headsets or cloud streaming

- minor AI breakthrough that does not utilize neural networks
Browsers will start to hide the URL bar. Essentially, they'll become like app stores where you can only visit trusted apps like Amazon or Gmail. Discovery will only be possible via search; as a result companies like Apple and Amazon will invest in their own search engines to compete with Google.

Get your dates straight. That tweet is before both that article and that updated agreement.
I’m also not suggesting single payer is a problem. I’m simply claiming that healthcare is a business, regardless of who is paying what. People wanting money for labor to provide healthcare is business.
Why? They're still in the luxury position where demand outweighs production and still need to scale up. That said they are getting government help in the form of tax breaks and stipends for consumers. Some of which are being toned down now (since this year) because a government's money isn't infinite either.
I make languages and I LOLed. Self-awareness, good knowledge of CS history, and a huge heaping helping of humility are all key prerequisites to inventing a language that is even marginally less appalling than all of its predecessors. “You will FAIL” is about the best advice a nascent language designer can receive, and they should embrace it.

This is the old way of cooking - waste means you have to go pull it out of the fields or kill it yourself.

Honestly, its a sign of a great (and often family or locally run) restaurant when I see they are rolling their menu into the next day in a circumspect way - its a sign to me that they understand their menu very well and know the best ways to present it.
...well thats lame...and dramatically nerfs my ability to effectively debug layout issues
> All these “X in less than Y lines of code” efforts strike me as fundamentally misguided because they seem to confuse succinct notation (short code) with efficient computation.

I've never seen any comment about any of them which confused the brevity for computational efficiency, so I don't think that's an issue at all, and don't know where you got that idea.

> To whit: there’s absolutely nothing preventing anybody whipping together a de facto DSL wherein one can call a single render_terrain( ) function and get the task done with a single token

Sure, but they don't, because that's usually not interesting. Leveraging and demonstrating ways to do a task with small amounts of code using tools that are available but flexible enough that they can be applied to other tasks or variations of the task that are not identical, OTOH, is interesting and useful, and tends to be what people do in these things.
> But for me, when I ride in a Tesla, I get a giddy feeling, like the first time I held an iPhone. You just know it's the future. There are so many radical, bold, and correct ideas. Every time I get a software update I'm a kid on Christmas morning. It is just such a fun experience, and for those of you who love to be on the bleeding edge, you'd probably love it too.

I'd love to agree with you, but the thing is, with a car the "bleeding edge" can literally be a bleeding edge.

A phone can do comparatively much less harm. Even ones with high radiation levels and batteries exploding didn't do much harm, all things considered. An out of control car... that's another thing entirely.
Their example #4.3 won't always produce the same result as the "if" version, because x==x and y==y could return false due to operator overloading.
> People prefer grocery stores that provide bags rather than require they bring their own.

Definitely cultural, AFAIK most Europeans brings their own bags for groceries and it's just automatic. Otherwise you have to buy a new bag at check-out.
> you've also just communicated murderous intent.

No I have not. It's your bias that colored it that way. Reread my comment. I never said I want kill a thief for stealing. I simply stated that I will take back what is mine. If, and only if, the thief tries to kill me will I respond in kind.

Again, it has nothing to do with grandeur and everything to d with doing what is right. I will take back what is mine, and threatening my life wont stop me.

All of what you said here is true, but that does not equate to "bullshit." Some level of skepticism is of course warranted. Complete dismissal is not.
Pystar comes to mind, but that's a bit different, they were selling fully set up Hackintosh machines.

I think GP is referring to the fact that Apple's EULA forbids running macOS on non-Apple hardware. But whether that's legally enforceable (if you're doing it on a personal machine rather than selling it) is not at all clear to me.
We're giving BI and Analytic teams unprecedented visibility into their data flow
> Nor does that agreement ban such tweets, it only requires that they are run by lawyers first.

But it wasn't run by the lawyers because it contains a factual reporting error the lawyers would have flagged. Thus he violated the SEC agreement.

Nobody said the tweet was banned. The tweet violated the agreement because it likely wasn't pre-approved (or his lawyers are really really bad).
On the other hand, if you were to count invertebrates, the death toll is likely to be in the billions.
> T-Mobile is already a competitor to Verizon and AT&T.

How come T-Mobile is consistently cheaper than ATT and Verizon? How come Verizon is the most expensive?

If the networks were the same, why would people opt to pay Verizon more? As far as I know, for coverage, Verizon > ATT > T-Mobile. It’s mostly a function of more towers, and I presume T-Mobile has the fewest.
Which remote deskop are you using?

I feel like people who say this have only taken one moral philosophy class and then think they get to gate-keep the general concept of morality.

> "Moral" is a subtly toxic word because it has some vague equivalence with being nice

Words have different meanings. Morality isn't a homogeneous thing and differs among people. It's entirely possible to have a moral philosophy that allows you to be nice _to the world_. This is exactly the Kantian outlook: "will[ing] that [actions] should become a universal law".

Using your example: Getting the sailor in trouble wouldn't be alright. You would be treating him as a means to an end. That is, you're treating him as a mean to your own salvation, rather than his. So the "moral" thing wouldn't be to simply snitch, because you would get stitches. You should help to ensure that 1) He feels guilt[0] and 2) His family doesn't endure unnecessary pain[1].

[0]: Anything else would be treating him as a means to an end, e.g rehabilitation (the alleged good of the criminal) or deterrence (alleged good to society).

[1]: Anything else would be treating them as a means to an end (his punishment).
Nice! What tools did you used?
Dunno man you can buy some really wack lasers off of ebay:

Yes.
