> - AI based systems will start to replace humans in the more mechanical parts of the legal system. Judging traffic court cases could be one example.

If AI based sentencing recommendations counts, we're already here--- though it looks fairly dystopian so far.

> - One country will invade another country using computer/information attacks as the deciding strike,

Reportedly during Desert Storm, US forces used a combination of human assets, computer system/network attacks, and physical attacks to disable air defenses.

Still a good read.
* Demographics does not become not destiny for Western Leftist parties. continued failure of elites to win electorally, and an aging, white, and geographically distributed coalition, that votes reliably, wins most of the time. Immigration has slowed in the US and will continue to slow in other countries. This makes Trump more likely than not to win 2020

See also the work of David Runciman from Talking Politics podcast (who makes this argument quite well in a series of lectures)

* Society makes progress on tough issues despite political deadlock. Problems continue to be solved outside of the political process

* Obamacare lurches forward, barely in the US. It likely won’t be repealed, but not much beyond shoring it up will happen even if a Dem is elected in 2020. It’s just too hard for Dems to get to 60 in the senate.

* Amazon continues to grow and possibly triggers antitrust action

* Someone will sadly get seriously hurt or killed due to an Amazon marketplace item of low quality. This may prompt regulation or lawsuits

* Brick and Mortar Retail continues to evolve towards being about physical brand presence for a Web-first business, less about stores selling stuff. This gradual move means there’s no huge commercial real estate crash

* Google loses its way, search market share shrinks, suffers from a serious brain drain, loses ability to develop great products

* Privacy concerns break through even more beyond the Hacker News crowd!

* Lots of unexpected things will happen, totally changing everyone’s predictions!

I likely will disagree with these tomorrow and think of even more important ones! :)
Corellium may have developed an excellent product technically, and they might be selling a useful service, but they still infringed Apple's intellectual property.

It's up to Apple to decide if they want to make a virtualized iOS available for security researchers on the web.
Corellium frequently provides security researchers with free access to their tools.

Then there's a lot of stuff that isn't obvious, on the surface. Maybe some back-channel negotiations fell through, or they did the whole "Ask forgiveness; not permission" thing about something. Just because Guy Kawasaki used to say it, doesn't mean that Apple still rolls that way.

I'll bet this isn't just about IP. I strongly suspect that it's about the brand.

4. Electric, self-driving capable cars will be everywhere.
1.) In the US regulators will step in and for someone to be considered a software engineer something like the FE and PE exams will have to be taken.

2.) The above will drive a larger wedge between high and low earning software workers.

How to Find the Kth Largest Element in an Array
Counter-counter anecdote:

I was just listening to an interview[1] with Dennis McKenna[2] (brother of Terence McKenna[3]) in which he said:

"If I'm going to take it [a psychedelic substance] I'm going to pay attention to it. It's sort of like you have an opportunity to sit with someone who's very wise and they have stuff to tell you and so they deserve that respect. That's what's changed. I give it my respect.

"And sometimes people say, well, you've been doing this 50 years haven't you got the lesson yet? .. there's one perspective that says 'once you get the message hang up the phone'.

"Well, maybe I'm a slow learner but I'm still learning from these things. They're not like an answering machine. It's not like there's only one message.

"It's like if you had a mentor, a teacher, someone who you respect you're not going to reach a point where you say, 'well, basically I've learned everything you have to tell me so thank you very much and I'll be on my way.' Chances are they still know more and they always will know more than you will know.

"Every time I take ayahuasca or mushrooms I learn something new or I am reminded of what I've forgotten, what's easy to forget in the day-to-day hustle of life. I just feel it's still valuable. In some ways it's a touchstone. It's a way of getting back to that place, that sacred space, sacred time environment where you can remind yourself of the eternal truths."

Second counter-anecdote:

Ram Dass[4], in his 80's after suffering a stroke, when asked in an interview that I can't find at the moment about what LSD has done for him replied "I'm happy. I've had a stroke and I'm happy. That's LSD."

The tech exists. it can be built upon existing social networks and stand in to provide out of network communications when the option avails (i.e; my Bluetooth can reach you through the fog right now - fog being a local mesh network).
I’ve spent a bit of time thinking about what this could be like and I imagine it as a blend of impostors and the genuine, real news intermingled with scrawlings found in bathroom stalls, a meta network acting as an overlay, where we shield each other by merely existing, like TOR but every node is an active device in range.
I believe in human ingenuity and we’re going to win, on our own terms, with our own devices, and we’re going to get our internet back from the dark and horrible forces that are bending our info system into a weapon against us.

> What group of assholes believes that? It's sexist bullshit.

Yet fairly typical in modern Western society. I can’t count the number of times people have open insulted and/or discounted “males” and particularly “white males” in my presence. “Oh, but you’re different”. I have no idea how to even respond to that.

I can’t even imagine people doing the same to women or minority males 25 years ago without (justifiably) being excluded from polite society (it was happening to gay people back then, and I’m very glad those days are pretty much over, or at least much better).

I don't think it is universal or unavoidable to have to play games to establish yourself in a pecking order. In many situations it seems like we work together with our fellow humans towards some common goal, or just enjoy each other's company. This is just one middle-aged mid-status dude's perspective, though, seems your perspective is in conflict with mine.

So instead of trying to repeat the steps of the knot, form a set of verbal directions in your mind. Then close your eyes and picture yourself doing them. Then grab some rope and try with actual rope, again with your eyes closed. Repeat the same knot 10 times a day for 10 days.

This method works really well for most because closing your eyes removes all extraneous info. You see the model of the knot and the instructions for tying it, not the messy tangled up physical rope that you aren’t even using yet.
Pedestrians absolutely pose potential harm to a car (though, of course, the car poses far more potential harm to the pedestrian), especially with all of the crumple zones and sensors. Even a relatively low speed collision of say, 25 mph, I'd be surprised if the car is getting away with less than $5k in repairs.

Jaywalking is dangerous, especially on busy streets. And I admit to my fair amount jaywalking when I worked in downtown Chicago.

The horn is primarily about expressing anger but about imminent danger. A pedestrian steps out, from limitted visibility between cars, into traffic they deserve to be honked at. Not because of anger, but because they are putting themselves and others at undue risk.

That said, I don't think Ive ever personally seen someone respond to a horn in a fashion to avoid an accident. Twice last year, I was involved in accidents caused by someone else changing into my lane. Both times I saw it coming, laid on the horn and braked, but they kept coming faster than I could stop.

One, I couldnt avoid at all. We were in a construction zone, and the car next to me just kept coming over. I saw it coming, but had no where to go. No shoulder, just a concrete K-rail with about 6 inches of wiggle room. Side swiped me at about 55 mph. Entire driver's side was fuckedd up. Couldnt even open my door. Also managed to fuck up some of the passenger side as I did everything I could to get out of the way. (little bit of fender damage, cut both tires and scraped up a wheel)

The second one was I was in a left turn lane and the dude tried to force is way in. I didnt even see his signal until it was too late. Again, laid on the horn and brake, still mamaged to put his rear door into my passenger side front quarter panel.

Had a third actual miss earlier this year. Was driving in the 2nd from left lane in a rain storm, doing around 80mph on the highway. Car in the left lane, without signaling, starts coming over. Again, slam on the brakes and the horn, asshole keeps coming. Went from 80 to 60 in about a second or so, nearly getting rearended in the process. My car also started going sideways. In a lesser car, I probably would have lost it, but mine is pretty stable. Soon as I let hard off the brake, it recovered easily.

Point is, everyone assumes if someone is honking they're road raging at you, and some surely use it that way, but it's primarily about signaling imminent danger, and you should really take note (and probably return to your lane until you can figure out what the danger is by checking your blind spots, etc).

I see what you mean and you're certainly right for a segment of the population that seems to get caught on the high without much skepticism of it.

That said, it is in not bullshit, and its not bullshit precisely because of what cite as being the bullshit: People take it and get the same benefit as going on a multi-week vacation. At least that can happen. Given you report your own experimentation, I'm curious if you mean psychedelics as a whole or specifically psilocybin? I'm curious of this because while I have experienced significant change in my worldview as a result of LSD trips, I had none of the same from shrooms. They're fun for sure, but I felt the next day the same I would if I spent the same time smoking cannabis. Family members of mine also have had shrooms and similarly found little to no productive value in them, but have found value in LSD. The temptation to suspect a genetic link is obvious, but of course thats just my n=1. When on LSD I tried a sort of self-therapy that seemed extremely successful, thinking through issues and considering new narratives of worldview. I've also had LSD trips where I didn't attempt such self-therapy, and found that I woke the next day feeling no different. I also tried self-therapy on shrooms and thought it was working during the trip, but woke up feeling just the same as before. So I think methodical thought through whatever is making the person feel depressed is absolutely necessary if any success is to be expected.

I suspect that many of the people who have gotten the best of the benefits of psychedelics and led successful lives are just not so vocal about it. I feel LSD has majorly helped me, but I'm really not about to go preaching that, because while it helped, it wasn't the only component. I also made the choices to use what I learned on it and change how I behave.
- Self-driving cars finally become a reality. But in the same year, teleportation is invented.

- New encryption algorithms become available in browsers to protect against quantum computing. However, it turns out that the NSA saved all our raw HTTPS traffic of the last decade or so.

- Google open sources new AI technology. But ironically, the AI becomes capable of detecting and removing ads.

Chances are, he (Ross) has outplayed the senior execs at Google. He was in the CA governor's team before and thus knew about the new trend to regulate tech, so he went to Google to build some wealth for his political campaign, skillfully played the victim's role, and precisely before the 2020 elections got himself fired for being too concerned with human rights. His next step will be to get into the Senate, make it clear to the new president that their views are aligned, acquire an even more powerful position and then come back to the Google execs who talked down to him.
>...if you insist on manually doing everything from your own CLI tools which maybe don't suffer the problems from EFail.

The only surprising thing that EFail revealed is that there are email clients out there that will silently allow html emails to communicate with the outside world. Encryption isn't the only thing that leaks from such clients.

Well isn't it? What attack is possible here? What attack was ever possible?

>When you send your GnuPG encrypted mail, how do you decide which cryptographic primitives to use?

You use the best ones supported by the receiver as listed in their public key. No one actually has to decide this and no guessing is required. This is something that the OpenPGP standard gets right for a crypto standard. Such things by necessity have to evolve over time. Sure this was hard to figure out, but it's done now. This particular wheel does not have to be reinvented or avoided.

The position you're taking, roughly that with limited resources you have to aim for achievable goals and while distributed federated networks are the underlying reason Signal works, it can't try to replace them right now, is totally reasonable, although not everyone will agree. However, that isn't at all what Moxie said. Instead he made no acknowledgement of the distributed nature of the phone system, he suggested that everyone who disagreed lived in the imaginary past, and suggested that his approach was the only sensible one. So I'm not inclined to read it as charitably as I read your comment.
