1. Concurrency platforms finally help to utilize multiple cores of a system, as result we will see many-core architectures with plenty simple cores

2. The consequences of quantitative easing will emerge and affect us all

3. Another cryptocurrency and bitcoin will form the backbone of a usable payment network with near-instant transactions for a low-fee
> Nobody is saying that a single payer system or tightly regulated multi-payer system hasn't worked anywhere or can't work in the US. Everyone is arguing about the specific implementation because those are the details that make or break it.

They are certainly arguing that such systems won't be effective in ths US in this discussion:

> Many on the left despise mergers and consolidation, and anything that has a hint of monopoly power. Except when it comes to government, education, and healthcare! Doesn’t a single centralized monopoly providing everyone’s healthcare seem like a bad idea? Why is it so bad in business and so good for health?

> That is very bad reasoning. Most things don't get cheaper when they get nationalized. There is some evidence healthcare may be different in this regard, but the point is: costs are not invariant under nationalization.

> We can't provide everyone with all the healthcare that they should get. There are never going to be enough doctors, equipment or hospitals. Sickness is literally an endless source of suffering and we all die of something - there cannot be enough medical assistance to deal with everything even if we devote everything we have to the healthcare industry. Rationing access to healthcare by people's economic contribution to society is just as fair as any other sort of rationing you care to come up with.

> There aren’t sufficient amount of people willing to do the highly undesirable work of caring for sick, contagious, handicapped, possibly dangerous people without money as the end goal.
From what I understand, the blocks are just "marked" as being deleted, the TRIM command erases/wipes the content. Windows does this [TRIM], in default setup, once a month.

Yeah for sure this is a big thing. I love Ruby’s syntax and if I could, I’d love to write in it all day if I was being paid the same amount as another language. Psychology is also at play. JavaScript I agreed can be quite rancid. But knowing it’s the only language that works in every browser, I internally whined about it less and now rarely do at all.
Ok I make a prediction here for 2030: Bitcoin won't be at $1M at all, very far from it. Bitcoin will be between $0 and the cost of mining a single coin. Right now, this is around $7,000. Could be similar or less in 2030.

I don't expect it to go anywhere. It seems to have a niche purpose, but will never gain mass adoption.

I make another prediction: By 2030 not a single cryptocurrency will be used mainstream / have replaced fiat currency. The strongest will still be Bitcoin, but it'll be as weak or non-existent for normal people like it is now.
When the handles can overlap, it tends to cause unwanted torque.
And none of that would change under single payer (or, as someone else suggested, a German-style model).

Absolutely no one anywhere is suggesting doctors and nurses should work for free. Single payer advocates are only suggesting that we cut out the byzantine mechanism of the US medical billing regime, and let the American people pay health care professionals directly, with taxes, instead.
Brexit seems to have killed that idea, probably for at least a decade. Britain won't rejoin but it will end up in a BRINO (Brexit in name only) type relationship by the end of the decade simply because the economic arguments will be overwhelming.
> Their issue is a moral one, whether they should ever pay into a health care pool for the benefit of other people.

I mean, realistically, that's what all insurance is anyway. The trouble with the US system (vs other mandatory/psuedo-mandatory insurance systems) is more around the way it's regulated.
Punishing people I feel is bad, doing wrong and evil give me a very nice feeling. It not just me, research into that topic has shown that dopamine production get a boost like few other things when we justifiable punish someone or see someone else justifiable punish someone.

However, seeing someone being unjustifiable punished makes most of us to feel empathy and sharing their pain. It make us feel scared, activate flight and fly reflexes, anger and a lot of regions in the brain associated with strong emotions.

So for the sake of argument, the best would be if only the first case occur in the work place. If everyone share the same definition of good and bad, wrong and rights, racism, sexism, classism, and *ism. We could achieve this single mind if everyone has the same age, share the same cultural background, have the same religion, with a large dose of kinship. That way the first case can be almost guarantied with minimum risk of the second case.

Influencers: I think we'll start to see fully AI-generated "influencer" profiles start to overtake actual human beings soon - assuming there aren't some already out there.

It will become increasingly hard for actual people to compete with these profiles for attention.
Both. The library was slow and corrupted data and they were using regular databases along with the event-sourced stuff. That would never work, the whole system would have needed to be event sourced for it to have any chance of working.

It was essentially a CRUD app with the need for history of changes (for a few tables), SQL was the correct way to do it.
Psygnosis' Shadow of the Beast used halfbrite, and was heavy on the copper effects too. Gameplay kinda sucked, but it was a hell of a demo against an ST or PC. When it was released no one had seen anything like it. :)

Edit: I suspected many Psygnosis titles used EHB, so I did a quick search, and discovered that the surreal barn-owl based defender clone -- Agony (Shades of Jeff Minter?) indeed used EHB, then got easily sidetracked as someone has made a UE4 based PC clone of it.

I'd think the point is that the qualification in the headline might give people in non-authoritarian nations a false sense of security that GP is trying to warn us for.
I understand the question. However I reject it because the question gets those asking it where they want to be. If you want to make changes to make things "better" then you need to ask the right questions. The question isn't wouldn't it be nice if everybody takes transit - or even nearly everybody (acknowledging those that need to travel with a truck full of tools/parts). The useful question is how do you get the next potential rider on and keep the existing riders from buying a car when they have money.

It may well be, but do you realistically believe this will happen in 10-years and be wild spread across Europe?

Many people in Europe depend in cars to commute.

I was surprised by your previous comment as I frankly would never see it happening.

Having said that, I did read just yesterday about Barcelona planning something similar, with a pilot in one part of the city. All cars are forbidden and artefacts are put on the street to encourage play for kids etc. Even there, members of the local community are against it ...
It would help if regedit had some confirmation dialog as opposed to the current 'direct' editing. An undo function [possibly persistent] wouldn't go amiss either.
Because it's not Moore's Law that matters here, but rather the subset that is the performance of single cores. And that subset stalled out pretty badly.

We're adding more and more cores, but more cores don't help you write a program in easy mode. Easy mode doesn't multithread.
>The popular MVC pattern does not require three separate languagues. And in fact that's rare in my experience.

ASP.NET MVC uses C#, (C)HTML and CSS for a total of three languages. WPF uses XAML and C# for a total of two. Android uses XML and Java for a total of two. I think Delphi only uses one, I vaguely remember the designer outputting plain Delphi instructions? I might be misremembering.

React is not exactly encouraging separation of concerns, and in some ways this was better in the times of JQuery. But I don't think this is directly related to the number of languages involved.
1. Quantum computers are still not practical for attacking crypto keys with reasonably secure bit sizes.

2. We will see a practical application of homomorphic encryption for privacy preserving search, in a niche space at first.

3. The "gold rush" days of ransomware will die down as organizations start to take backups seriously, but the problem will never go away.

4. Related to 3., some people/orgs will still be using Windows XP, e.g., specialized hospital equipment.
Fossil fuep dependence will be less but not by a dramatic magnitude.

The US will elect an extreme leftist to which as a response ,after 4-8 years Trump++ will be in charge

A lot more of the usual bad news stuff but with much less optimism which results in many systemic crashes.

A lot of the fad around self driving cars and ML will fade out leaving practical long term tech.

The internet's technical debt will finally call the collectors.

Dramatic move away from dependence on targeted ads to sustain web services and infra.

A payment app will take over the west like with China when they start catering to offline (cash like) transactions and please both mobile and non-mobile users (a great feat).

Deep fakes will creat a hype but fade away after a while.

Either america continues fighting both russia and china and gets torn to pieces from the inside out or most likely succumb to China, win the modern cold war against russia and give rise to China becoming a second super power rivaling america and dominating Asia and Africa,leaving Europe,parts of africa and south america (and some asian countries) to figure out how to restructure their economies. In the end it will be an energy war where the west moves away from fossil fuels and builds long term sustainable economy while everyone else enjoys cheaper fossil fuels as their sphere of influence builds up economic/military resilience against the west (I think late 40's and 50's will see everyone going green).

HN will still be the same. IRC will still be the same (less people though). Infosec will thrive while threats become even more adoptive and agile against mitigations.

International participation in foss will dramatically shape the culture and consistency of foss communities.

Consolidation of home automation/assistant technology.

Actual (dangerous), information and propaganda warfare will happen (2016+russia was nothing if you know much about WW2 ,50's america and communist propaganda)

And finally, I will likely be wrong at least 6/10 on my predictions. :)

AFAIK they make devs share code so Apple can recompile their apps to arbitrary platforms we dont know about. This means ARM too.

I have seen a comment about this on every other Apple app store / arch thread here on HN. Anybody who knows better feel free to clarify or let me know if I misread them all.

"Surprisingly enough, Apple will still stay relevant even though Steve Jobs will have to leave his position due to health problems or something else."

davidw covered it well. To add to his point: I knew about the ASF problem 18 months ago - I work in agriculture and so I follow the news there more closely than the average person. If I had done some thinking about it I would have been able to make some small bets over a year ago - they would have turned out to have great payoff. Of course I would have also made some small bets that didn't pay off - but they would have still been okay because the small bets with the great return would have still paid off about the S&P500 average and as a smart investor I would always diversify my risk.
What are you trying to say? That people that had "millions" went homeless? The stocks recovered in less than two years. If they didn't sell in panic they still had millions after a brief period.

For most of the engineering applications I work on, AI is useless.

When we talk about controlling machines, our control algorithms have mathematically proven strict error bounds, such that if we provide an input with a particular maximal error (e.g. from a sensor that has some error tolerance), we can calculate what's the maximum error possible in the response that our model would produce, and then use that to evaluate whether this is even an input that should be handled by the current algorithm or not.

These control algorithms all take some inputs, and use them to "predict" what will happen, and using that prediction, compute some response to correct it. These predictions need to happen much faster than real time, since you often need to perform an optimization step to compute an "optimal" response.

These predictions are usually computed using a reduced-order model, e.g., if you had to solve a PDE over 10^9 unknowns to compute the actual prediction, you can instead reduce that to a system with 10 unknowns, by doing some pre-computation a priori. Most tools to do these kinds of reductions developed in the last 60 years come with tight error bounds, that tell you, depending on your inputs, the training data, etc. what's the largest error than the prediction can have, so you can just plug these in into your control pipeline.

People have been plugin in neural-networks to control robots, cars, and pretty much anything you can imagine into these pipelines for 10 years, yet nobody knows what the upper bound on the errors that these neural-networks give for a particular input, training set, etc.

Until that changes, machine learning just makes your whole pipeline unreliable, and e.g. a car manufacturer must tell you that in "autonomous driving" mode you are liable for everything your car does, and not them, so you have to keep your hands on the driving wheels and pay attention at all times, which... kind of defeats the point of autonomous driving.

---

Prediction: we won't have any tight error bounds for real-world neural networks in the 2020-2030 time frame. These are all non-linear by design (that's why they are good), error bounds for simple non-linear interpolants are pretty much non-existent, people have tried for 20-30 years, and real-world NNs are anything but simple.

Dumb question:

> constant crashes, an insanely slow single-core Intel Atom processor, and questionable build quality would make it clear to anyone that it was very much a product built for dogfooding, not as a replacement for your Windows or Mac notebook

This use of "dogfooding" confuses me, wouldn't the chromebook being used for dogfooding mean it was meant as a replacement for your windows/mac notebook? Or if not, how does it relate to whether the chrombook was meant to replace windows/mac notebooks?

Neumorphism in User Interfaces
You're right that it's not javascript's fault per se. But the rest of your comment represents a narrow, dated and frankly ignorant viewpoint. Component-based front-end architecture has tremendous advantages. And if you want to see "one big mess", simply examine the CSS of virtually any moderately-sized website or web application.

I've been doing web-related development since the late 90's, and I make a living as a UI Architect. Increasingly my clients are looking for my help to unfk their nightmarish, effectively unmaintainable legacy codebases -- which typically have followed this same cargo-cult "wisdom" to their detriment.
Your source doesn't say school shootings are down from previous highs nor that they're very rare; it specifically only deals with shootings where _4 or more students were killed_ excluding the shooter. That's a very different things from "school shootings", where the mean number of fatalities is 3. If you define "school shooting" as "people being shot at school", then use the same data as in your source, you see 247 people shot in 64 incidents during the 2000s, and 555 people shot in 213 incidents during the 2010s. (It's worth noting that Fridel & Fox came under some scrutiny for choosing their definition of school shooting, because the standard definition used--by the FBI, the Bureau of Justice Statistics, and by Fox himself in previous studies that conflicted with his new one--is four people _shot_. )

What we're seeing is a large increasing in the number of school shootings, but a decrease in the average success of each school shooter. Is it surprising that the average shooter has become less effective when schools are spending a lot of time and money preparing to deal with them? Shooter drills, established lockdown procedures, buildings being designed with escape and hiding in mind[0], staff training, employment of security guards, etc.

The data you're citing states it plainly: there are more shootings at schools now than 10 or 20 years ago, and more people are being shot at school than 10 or 20 years ago. 50 people killing 3 kids each isn't somehow safer than 25 people killing 4 kids each.

ryacko is perfectly clearly stating that Electron reduces the amount of training that developers need. This is different from making them develop faster. It just makes them more replaceable.
