Usually its a precomputed list at run time. Think of a tree that goes from network address to locale(s). More specific network prefixes (probably) have more specific locales.

Companies like MaxMind collect and repackage this based off of information like RIRs, SWIP, DNS PTRs, or even end user billing/shipping addresses in online transactions. I dont think latency is used too much these days. Check out https://www.maxmind.com/en/geoip2-databases for some examples. I'd say that level of detail is about industry standard and most companies would simply pay maxmind or another vendor for this data.

> Ross Ulbricht (Silk Road) who was busted by the FBI after using his laptop in public - they grabbed it while he had it unlocked and didn't have time to put it in suspend.

That’s pretty smart by the FBI agents to wait until it was unlocked and sneak up and take it. If instead they stormed in guns drawn, all Ross had to do was close the lid and bye bye evidence.
I don't know about the technical differences, but having used dramatiq in production for 3 years now I can say it's 100% awesome, it's been rock solid for us handling many thousands of tasks daily.
Because this is HN :-)
It's funny because Im now back to checking out DIgg daily. I find it much more enjoyable than Reddit these days.
> I'd argue it also introduced in popular American culture the concept that an individual could judge the law and decide whether it was just or not.

It seems that this is a fundamental principle in US culture. The nation was born of a revolution. It was literally a triumph of humans and reason over entrenched authority and written law. (Obviously, these people were flawed. They were not infallible moral authorities. This is for anyone who wants to read me as a white-washer.)

Specifically in the legal realm, jury nullification has a long history in British common law. This carried over into pre-revolution American law. It has also carried over to modern law.

>because it's Apple.

I think you're being assuming here.
"Smart" toys for babies and toddlers, with the ability to understand to teach by playing, connected to the Internet with upgradeable software and accessible to all.
Our experience has been different, moving from Celery to Dramatiq saved us a bunch of headaches and stability has been markedly improved.
Number 1 is a pretty interesting prediction. The indicator are definitely there, but it would be a huge change to global culture and doesn't seem doable in 10 years.

Regarding 2, I have a couple of questions. First, what would cause the strong positive trend in Software salaries to sharply reverse in a period of a decade? That would be a dramatic collapse, I suspect unlike anything seen in an industry previous. Secondly, what happens in a companies like Google, FB, Netflix, and Hot Unicorns, where senior engineers are making in the region of $300-600K USD? Will Google grads all of a sudden be getting `($40k * 1.30)`?

Regarding 3, GINI Co-efficient is a pretty standard measure of inequality and it has been getting worse for decades in the USA. A number of other studies show Economic/Class mobility has also been getting worse for decades in the USA[1, 2, 3, 4]. So 3 is confused because it seems you think mobility has generally increase in recent decades.

On 4 I basically agree. By eco-terrorism do you mean sabotage of fossil-fuel infra? If so, I'd say Eco-Fascism and military protection of corporate fossil-fuel infra is more likely.

You might be right, but I believe the main sentiment still holds about hypocritical support of one vs the other.
Most job systems like Celery or Sidekiq are language-specific. If you are looking for background jobs for any language, check out Faktory.

More advanced features like queue throttling and complex job workflows are available.

But Corellium isn’t copying their bits; users provide their own iOS files.
There's LOTS of hardware that is interesting but useless due to poor software support.

Conversely there's also hardware that is less than impressive but the best option because it has good software.
I think it has a high chance of happening. Most of the bigger frameworks and libraries have moved to typescript and with remaining on typings or ts rewrite. Deno will probably take over.

A new interesting phenomenon I noticed is few bigger frameworks now have their core written in rust with language agnostic interface on top.

example:

- https://github.com/prisma/prisma2

- https://github.com/prisma/prisma-engine

We have yew, snow, draco and seed along with some shot at cross-platform native frameworks. The progress is pretty fast.

Not to mention wasmer is pretty sweet

> Microsoft does the same with Windows.

I am pretty sure Microsoft doesn't do the same thing with Windows; they allow you to download, for example, an ISO file for Windows 10, but only if you go through their website portal that explains you must accept their "Microsoft Terms of Use" which then generates a personalized URL for your specific usage that expires in 24 hours, etc. Apple just lets anyone download the IPSW file for their firmware, no questions asked.

> Can I rent out VMs running cracked copies of Windows now?

You absolutely can provide a VM service that emulates an Intel computer, and if a user downloads Windows for free and is allowed to run it on that computer and they decide to violate the EULA, I'm pretty sure that's on them? If I provide software that helps you download and install iOS on any ARM device, and also happen to rent access to ARM devices, is that somehow more illegal than doing either of those two things separately?
And PHP. PVP 5.3 was the newest version in 2010 and as the years wore on many thought HipHop by Facebook would start to take over for serious PHP applications. PHP 7 completely changed the course of the PHP community and took the air out of HHVM’s sails.
#2 would only happen if entrepreneurial opportunities in tech dried up completely, which is a much more significant (implied) prediction.
My suspicion is that the exercise is to allocate people randomly to these groups. Not based on their actual ethnicity / inclinations.

This article doesn't actually contradict that, since random selection will put some in their "appropriate" category.

So, either that, or the person conducting the exercise totally misunderstood it.
I predict hn will have not have fixed the code block vs quote bad experience on mobile.
* VR will never become mainstream, but will get an addicting online killer app that will pull in "hardcore" gamers (like WoW was in the 2000's)

* Multiple companies will publish consumer AR headsets at around the price of a high end cellphone. None of them will have mainstream success and only be purchased by earlier adopters until Apple releases a headset around the early-middle of the decade. This catches on moderately as an iPad like success, becoming an extra gadget for affluent households, but doesn't come close to displacing phones.

* Ads are going to become more and more embedded into things that we do. Product placement in movies, social media, and TV will replace traditional ads.
* We will see the shuttering of Cable news stations much like we saw newspapers in the previous decade, especially geared towards the child / teen demographics. We will see more of that content move to streaming sites.

* Self driving cars still won't be massively deployed on our roads.

* Uber / Lyft will have major restructuring (maybe go bankrupt) after they still can't find a way to make a profit. Prices will hike and consumers will stop using the services shocking an unprepared public transport system.
* Some major Katrina level natural disaster on the
West Coast (possibly megaquake or super fire).

* More states will pass GDPR like regulation, slowing down the pace of social media giants.

* We will start to see an influx of technology innovation from Chinese tech companies and this will create fear of mass surveillance for the masses.

* There will be a data breach from Facebook or Google leading to a government investigation.

* They AI fad will trickle into non tech circles. Multiple companies will use bullshit AI systems that claim to be good at qualitative tasks like determining employee's performance reviews.

* Still no signs of general AI

* CRISPER treatments start going through clinical trials and we find cures for a few major genetic diseases.
I don't think so. In my experience, people here are just as critical to Apple as other companies.
The majority of programming today is not functional at all. I think Functional programming became sort of a tertiary elitist buzzword similar to drunken style kung fu. The effectiveness of the style is well known among practitioners and those that don't practice it look upon it as if it was a foreign and strange art.

What people don't realize is that functional programming is mixed martial arts. The art of combat brought down to the science of combat. I think there is little chance FP will become mainstream. MMA didn't become popular because it was the most effective art, it became popular because it was packaged up into entertainment.
In my opinion, Electron is the fulfillment of that prediction.
1. No autonomous cars

2. Will be at least 2 tech starwards that go away due to financial or labor violations

3. World War involving China, Africa will be pulled into this one

4. Test camps on another planet

5. South America will become more developed.

6. Recession

7. More economic challenges in Western Europe, Canada, and the US

8. Mexico: nothing changes

9. South east asia and india labor unions.

10. Australia: bankrupcy and redemption?

11. Open Source: More bickering and a reduction of participation due to social codes ("code of conflicts")

12. Programming: A recession of interest (due to the social codes above)

13. Slack becomes corporate

14. VR: Still a fad

15. Trains: We'll see high speed rail ways in Brasil

16. We'll be teased about legistlation against shitty business practices (i.e. scooter companies who claim their business practices in the public way, facebook selling off customer data)

17. Health insurance: No idea where that's going, probably a requirement to do triage by video chat first

18. We're going to go to deployable offline apps

19. Depression: sparked by millennial demands on businesses that increase costs. I.e. flooding from SFO-> AUS, etc. This will downwardly affect the 2nd and 3rd tier cities.

20. Decrease in value of living spaces. (Problem of housing will not improve)
Cool, but an alternative will probably be made in the following months or wreks from the ashes of Corellium if you're correct, except that it won't be public this time, and they might not ever know about it. Security wise, that's the worst move they could do.
I expect things are going to change less than most people think. The past decade in a number of ways represented less of a change from a technological perspective than the several leading up to it, and I expect that will most likely continue. The alternative would be a massive new technology that changes everything, like AGI, or possibly level 4/5 self driving vehicles, but I don't expect either of those are coming in the next 10 years. Could be something else no one sees coming, but I doubt it. So for now I think we're on the tail end of an S-curve of change that has spanned several decades and numerous individual technologies.

So, specific predictions:

-fully driverless cars will see some limited use, perhaps with remote monitoring, but will not be ubiquitous.

-electric cars though will become very popular, with most new cars being electric.

-solar and wind installations will continue to grow. We'll probably see some innovation around distribution and metering as a result of electric vehicles and/or renewables, like smart home panels that pause charging when load is high or renewable production is low, or even draw from the electric vehicle to provide supplemental power when necessary. I doubt those things will be common in 10 years, but they'll be at least talked about.

-AI will continue to have more niche applications, but will not result in major societal change or job loss.

-no country will meet the current Paris climate agreement thresholds. However, climate change will widely be recognized as a serious problem. Climate change denial will continue the shift from "doesn't exist" to "not caused by humans", and then to, "even if caused by humans, nothing we can do". However the denial side will carry less weight, and most first world governments will have implemented carbon taxes or other schemes to reduce greenhouse gasses. We will be on course for > 2 degrees of warming though.

-There will be presidents from both parties in the White House after Trump.

Generally I expect where there are large changes, they will be political/geopolitical, not technological. I expect some change to be driven by increasing polarization and by the pressures of climate change. Most likely that will be a further entrenchment and isolationism, but there's a small chance that there could also be a significant backlash to that trend with something like the Green New Deal or open borders.
Maybe in some areas it may work but for most cities and many places in those cities it just won't work.
* People stop fighting the data privacy fight. Laws will be created for user data collection consent, but people will ignore it like current day EULA or terms. Killer applications for user data will start showing up and public options will shift to "eh, I guess it's okay if they collect and share data about me, I get some good utility out of it"

* VR hype passes, maybe because technical limitations doesn't make for a pleasant experience. Remains a bit gimmicky

* haha remember bitcoin?

* alternative meats become mainstream, account for half of meat consumption. (Note for future readers and myself. As of 01/2020 Impossible Burger has recently partnered with BK for an impossible whopper and the Beyond Bratwurst served at work was quite good, though still somewhat niche. Only in a few stores and restaurants)

* Pet ownership will become frowned upon, or maybe just less acceptable than it is today
> I don’t think they distribute the IPSW themselves.

Does anyone know more about exactly how Corellium works in this regard? To me, it makes all the difference.

Where does the IPSW come from? Do they pull a new copy off of Apple's servers each time a customer spins up an instance? Does the customer download the IPSW and upload it to their account?

Speaking more broadly, I feel Corellium would have a much stronger case if their product was running on end-user machines. As long as it's running on Corellium's servers, they're "retransmitting" Apple's software, for lack of a better word.
re: 3. For me it's easy to imagine something as simple as a long sustained power outage would result in the deaths of thousands.
The Polygons of Another World: Amiga 500
* Social Networks

There will likely be some big crisis involving important people that revolves around their social media profiles from when they were teenagers or young adults. Maybe some bad photos, or comments. People who were in their mid 20s today will be eligible to run for the Office of the President in 2030. Lots of people in their mid 20s have done stupid stuff online in the last 10 years (since they were around 15).

After those scandals, people will start tilting away from social media. People will seek out more private enclaves, or just abstain from social media.

Additionally, many social media companies will have to deal with millions of profiles of dead individuals.

Prediction: Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp will be irrelevant in 10 to 15 years. People will move away from current levels of online sharing.

------------------

* Truth

Discerning truth will become harder and harder. Deep fakes, propaganda, social discussions about terminologies, etc will cause deep distrust of everything. Will lead to social change in how we trust what we see on screens.

Prediction: People will start preferring face to face meetings. (Kind of related to the previous point)

-------------------

* Climate

Climate crisis will cause more migrations. The changing population demographics will cause lots of civil unrest in Europe, Middle East and the Americas. India will become the largest country by population and face issues due to climate change.

Prediction: Wars and civil unrests :(

---------------

* Digital overload

People will start treating technological devices with skepticism. Phone addiction, etc will become recognized disorders and the cell phone market will get highly regulated. People will have a social movement against the excessive usage of digital devices.

-----------------

* Space

Manned missions to Moon, Mars and maybe some other places will occur.

---------------

* Recession

P(Recession in the next 10 years) = .99

-----------------

* Sports

Tom Bradyand Belichick continue the dominance of the Patriots for another 10 years.

FIFA 2022 in Qatar causes some illness among the players. Maybe Qatar's bad human rights record is finally addressed.

FIFA 2026 in America will be epic

Celery has always been a massive resource drain, and for pretty much zero gain. I'd suggest just saying "stay away from Celery" as it's easy to get going with, but really hard to scale or work with when you need what it promises. There are better options.
This list is hopelessly optimistic but that's part of the fun. If only one of these happen I'll consider this list a success. I remember in 2010 I was sure we'd have full self-driving in all new cars by now since Google had the working prototype, how wrong that was! I also worked on LIGO and knew from the inside there was a good chance of a detection and that it would be mainstream news if it came true, which it did.

Here's my list of things that are theoretically (but barely) reachable by 2020:

- Fully programmable quantum computers. Google finally achieved "quantum supremacy", which isn't useful by itself, but a milestone showing progress. QCs will matter more for simulating quantum dynamics than all the encryption stuff.

- The first human landing on Mars. SpaceX seems to be good at setting aggressive targets, missing them, but then hitting them eventually. At the time of this writing they claim the first manned mission will be in 2024, so likely it will happen ~2028.

- A working prototype of an energy-positive fusion reactor. There was some good progress by the team at MIT by using a new type of superconducting tape that can handle significantly stronger magnetic fields.
To some extent... it doesn’t matter. I’m gay: and if you randomly assigned me to a group that has to listen to gay stereotypes, it would still be wrong. Even though the method of assignment is technically okay.

Why it’s wrong is debatable. But at least for me it’d be wrong because honestly... that would drag up a lot of psychological trauma for me. Like “I need to take some time off work” bad.

Even if you can predict who that will happen to.. and you try to account for it.. there is no margin of error here that’s acceptable, especially when the material in question could be completed another way.

So yeah. This is a really, really bad look for the Googs here. :(
Different groups working on different projects, lack of communication and global company vision or even internal competition leads to wasting money producing the same thing multiple times.

I had something like 20 coins, but it was on a secondary computer that didn’t have backups and was long since recycled. You can believe I spent a few hours digging through all my backups to find the wallet back in 2017... ah well.
Shame on them.
That sounds like a moral argument, not a legal argument? If Apple wants it to be that way, maybe they should just put the iOS firmware download behind some kind of EULA, like every other company that attempts to do the same thing (and which I have some good reason to suspect has been explained to Apple multiple times with respect to the situation with Corellium)?
The only argument for copyright abuse bring theft that is even remotely reasonable is that it possibly causes lost revenue/sales. If it doesn't, and in this case it can't, then there is absolutely no argument for it being theft that holds any more water than a sieve.
The pre-natal environment is shared, and depending on the adoption process there could be a great deal of correlation in a range of environmental factors. It's not like these kids are grown in a vat and distributed randomly in the population is it?

> 'Oh? Then why do thousands of engineers do then?'

Because they offered me more money than anybody else, and because I liked the mentor I had when I was an intern there. Not having to re-interview for a fulltime job after my internship was nice too. As to why I took the internship... because the money was good and I like ebooks. Not very good reasons, but those were my reasons.
