Important for which actors?

Early adopters are already using some form of what will become mainstream this decade. Will came a a lot of new things for early adopters, but only a few will become mainstream in the next one.

In the same way, intelligence agencies, hackers, and more are already using things that with a bit of luck general people will become aware this decade (but will fail to take good measures about it), and new advancements will become gradually available for both kinds of bad players in the next years, some that will remain, others that may be override by more prevailing ones.

Besides technology, the divide that I did above will become more important next decade too. How technology changes us, and what we become caused by it, is more important than the technology itself. Think in how we went from a culture of discretion and privacy to one of mindless sharing.

Is this frequently done in practice? The CSPRNG code for ChaCha20 I've looked at rotates the key itself using 32 out of every 768 bytes. In that case rolling the counter isn't a concern.

Regional transit policy needs to be what's best for the region. You can't let city specific special interests stall that because it does not work out well in the long term.

Look at Boston. They canned I695 to stop a couple neighborhoods from being demolished and in doing so basically required all the major surface roads to handle significant commuter traffic (killing how many people over the years?) because they became the de-facto main arteries and horribly compromised future subway lines at the same time (in addition to a laundry list of other negative downstream effects).

I don't have a good answer for this, but I find the notion that you can learn something in just a few hours that will profoundly impact your career intriguing.

Interpersonal skills (re: AwesomeFaic), grokking bureaucracy, learning how to learn are all career-long pursuits that define most careers (I would argue).

Tools like awk and sed are great but ultimately of marginal importance to the average developer. In fact, I haven't even found the sum of all similar efficiencies to be worth dealing with.

No but the funny part is, since the climate has already changed, that actually means I'm currently dead.

In software engineering we're talking about 10x developers all the time. Whether they actually exist or not is kind of disputed.

Do we have 1000x or more business leaders? Because that's how well compensated a select few of them are. I don't believe we have. Because at most one developer is 100 times more productive than other one, so it makes no sense that a business person would be 1000 times more productive than another one.

>When people say they care about privacy, most of the time they mean they care about anonymity, as in privacy from people who knows them personally. They don't want their internet search history to be known by friends or family or coworkers, but they probably have no qualm if it's just data being sent to large corporate service providers.

>That's why people would continue to trade personal info for conveniences for the foreseeable future, and as long as corporations maintain public anonymity for those data the most we'll ever see are temporary public outrages.

Absolutely agree. We've had no shortage of privacy related issues surfaced in the mainstream media, likely most notably Snowden's leaks. Some in the media made a concerted effort to make people understand just how grave the situation was, for example Colbert letting everyone know, on air, that they can access the dick pics you've sent people privately.

People heard it, digested it briefly, shrugged their shoulders and continued on without regard. In fact, people have become worse with their private information than ever before:

- People are now sending their DNA to private companies, with no care for the T&Cs involved, in exchange for utterly shallow, almost irrelevant genetic history infographics.

- People are wearing "wearables" that are reporting their heart rate, activity levels, sleep quality, etc. to private companies.

- People are opening their homes up to 24/7 surveillance with always on, always listening "smart home" devices.

- Many more people than ever are posting naked photos/videos of themselves on Reddit, Snapchat, etc., hosted on sites whose owners they have no clue of, ran by staff they have no idea of, etc.

They were told the risks, they did not care and so will be given, and will deserve, zero sympathy when something comes out highlighting the abuses enabled by some of the above. "We didn't know!" does not cut it anymore.
I think you get what I'm saying then.

> If you want to respond, please keep in mind that we are talking about current copyright and trademark law, not some utopia in which new laws can be enacted willy-nilly.

This is the problem though. I don't disagree with anything you said as far as what the state of current copyright/trademark law is, I just disagree with the laws and think they're immoral.

I consider the mailbox issue especially egregious. Lets say you want to make some content like the infamous American suburb map in Hitman 2. You want to create an environment that's relatable to your audience so you model a typical American subdivision with houses and roads and all the detail you could dream of. Then you get hit with C&D letters from USPS because you put down a letterbox that you'd see on any street corner, Ford for a Mustang you put in a driveway, another because an NPC was wearing a Polo shirt and so on until you have to totally neuter your concept. Meanwhile if hollywood wants to do the same thing for a movie, nobody bats an eye.

Nobody designed any of this stuff sitting in the conference room saying "...and here's how much video game licencing revenue we can expect for this letterbox..."

> companies want the intellectual property and have "priced it in" into the dollar value of the contracts

Trust me... they do no such thing. I've been involved with this several times.

I'm curious if video games being a more common (plus potentially social) activity will be more common in retirement home-like settings.
It's a schizophrenic hive mind cult.

I think I see some patterns where topics that used to get downvoted get upvotes instead, and I hope that's because others have decided that they don't like what this says about the community, and so they upvote them on general principle.

> In the rare case where a simple, effective drug gets into medical practice, it magically ends up becoming "not recommended" about 20 years after it hits the market when the pharmaceutical company's patent runs out.

One might posit that the bias is in the drug being recommended in the first place (by a company that stands to gain from that recommendation and can afford lobbyists.)

> MAOIs work much better for depression than SSRIs, for example, yet the clock runs down, a few widely-publicized cases of serotonin syndrome caused by careless ER doctors hit the press

Or, y'know, caused by people eating cheese. Or drinking. MAOIs aren't not-a-first-line-therapy because they're easy to mis-prescribe; they're not-a-first-line-therapy because they're incompatible with many people's lifestyles.

Treatment regimens are designed such that you prescribe first the thing that's least likely to interfere with the patient's life, however small a chance it has of helping them. Because, if it does help, then it helped with (likely) no negative consequences.

In other words, most first-line treatments are placebos, and that's the whole point. First-line treatments should be placebos. People who can be cured by placebos shouldn't get drugs stronger than placebo; since drugs stronger than placebo necessarily have more side-effects than placebo.

People who aren't cured, come back and get the second-line treatment. And on and on until they get one that works for them.
Your explanation is exactly why environmentalism is losing ground in the public zeitgeist outside of sensational headlines. People thought they would be profitable because large swathes of people liked them. The cities where they've lost ground have passed laws restricting them but the public votes along party lines so no politician of significance cares about the public reaction. The rest of your comment is essentially an appeal to the idea that cities can't have nice things unless they match your standard for environmrntal friendliness. The products were widely used before they were restricted, the public votes with their wallets, entrenched interests found a way around that vote. The cost to the consumer now is that they're basically useless because entitled people like yourself felt that the focus of a city shouldn't be facilitating the things that its people enjoy.

I've lost more data in hardware RAID than in ZFS but I have lost data in both.

Hardware RAID has very poor longevity. Vendor support and battery backup replacement collide in BIOS and host management badly.

Disclaimer: I work on Dell rackmounts, which means rather than native SAS I am 'Dells hack on SAS' which is a problem and I know its possible to 'downgrade' back to native.
The problem is that ZFS doesn't have an offline repair tool. A (granted unlikely) bit flip in an important data structure that gets written to disk makes the whole fs unmountable and that's it (idk if it has a tool to rescue file data from a unmountable pool? Maybe we should ask Gandi...).

With e.g. ext4 you can get back to a mountable state pretty much guaranteed with e2fsck. You might loose a few files, or find them in lost+found, etc. but at least you have something.

The reason ZFS doesn't have a offline repair tool is pretty convincing. Once you have zettabytes (that's the marketing) of data, running that repair tool will take too long, so you'd have to do everything to prevent that in the first place anyway. Including checksumming everything, storing everything redundantly and using ECC RAM.

I was really taken with beos when it was a live product. However, Nextstep really was a much much better basis for taking Apple into the future compared to beos. As has been proven resoundingly first by the seamless switch from PowerPC to intel, and then the ongoing smoothness and general acceptance of OS X by industry.

I know it’s not universally loved but OSX/nextstep for me is really everything I could have wanted from an operating system.

I also think he took a reasonable licence issue and conflated it with personal opinion not backed by experience. Nobody who has actually run ZFS says its just buzzwords.

“If We Only Capture 1% of the Market”: Why Investors Hate This Line
I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. Well done. Kudos.
Whenever you read "lock-free", think "locking in microcode". These atomic operations trigger hardware state machines that work remarkably similarly, in character, to what happens for a lock, and are often little faster. But they are quite a lot harder to get right.

If you think you need lock-free, usually what you really need is less contention, or a single-writer ring buffer.

Sometimes lock-free is right, and sometimes locking is right. But it can be worth quite a lot to find a way not to need either one.
FWIW, I would be interested in hearing why you disagree. I think some of the downvotes probably came because the reasons behind the original statement seem very obvious (there is and has been a lot of social pressure on women to look thin; appearance is commonly referred to as a 'superficial' characteristic), so asking for a list instead of just responding to the obvious interpretation can come across as disingenuous.
There's a market for stolen bikes, and there are enough people whose incentives are such that the rewards of stealing seem higher than the risks of getting caught and punished.

And one place that people land after they fall through the cracks of society is petty theft. In the US, we just have bigger cracks than many other wealthy developed countries. I don't like the theft anymore than anyone else, but I'd rather we not fix it by further criminalizing people through an even harsher police state than we already have, and becoming like even more authoritarian countries.

It's funny that we constantly ask this (very fair) question about common theft, but don't as often express such incredulity at the existence of extreme wealth. These two are connected in many ways.

The equivalent scenario to recovering from a bulk erasure of all Azure RM resources is this:

How long will it take you to recover if someone deleted your switch configs, reset the SAN to factory defaults, wiped you firewall rules, deleted you Active Directory accounts (or equivalent), and then ran a secure erase on every every physical server just to raze everything to the ground and salt the earth?

I mean in wall-clock time, how long would it take your team to even figure out what is going on? Where would you start?

Would you recover the switch first, or the server that you use to authenticate to it using RADIUS or LDAP?

How will you securely connect to servers if your CRL and OCSP servers are down?

How will you get access to your passwords if your file server where the key blob is stored is saying "Insert boot disk"?

People think that disaster recovery is for "I deleted a folder".

Disaster recovery is for disasters.

Removing all Azure resources wipes everything. Your vNets... Poof! Your public IPs... Poof! Your internet-facing DNS zone... Poof! Your authentication credentials... Poof! Gone, gone, gone.

How do you plan to restore dynamic IP addresses to their original values?

How do you plan to restore DNS Zones that get assigned to 1 of 10 randomly selected server pools and hence have a 90% chance of requiring a change to the NS server glue records on restore?

Do you even know which order things would have to be restored in to prevent failures during a restore?

Could you possibly work out what is missing if you log on to your cloud portal and see the "Welcome to Azure, to get started click here" splash page?

Reports of reputable registrars front-running are persistent, but unfounded. Anytime I’ve looked into it, I’ve never seen any evidence for it.

So I call b.s. on any reports of “the registrar noticed me searching for a domain and registered it”.
If I'm filling in the blanks here correctly, what we're still far away from is determining the folded configuration of an arbitrary polypeptide. Is that correct? Or has there been real breakthroughs there? 10 years ago when I last checked in with some folk I knew from EMBL, this still seemed to be a complete pipedream.

Is there a paper that describes the parameters of the peptide structure that go into the "physics do the folding" part? When I was at EMBL, I was focused on using local hydrophobicity to see how predictive it was (not at all). Is the physics model operating at this level, above it, or below it?

OP, please do extensive research on any bootcamps you might consider. There was a recent HN thread calling them out, and I've found them to be pretty scummy myself. (I was a accepted into one of the big ones and asked for way more money than advertised, upfront. I was offered a teaching position at a Uni bootcamp under an abysmal curriculum. I've been to the recruiting events as an employer.)

I know they're not all bad, but some programs thrive on taking advantage of people in your position.
Young frankenstein is my personal favourite, because it explores the tropes so beautifully. Also, marty feldman but that is less about Mel Brooks and more about the cast. Still, one of the important roles of a director/producer like Brooks, is assembling the perfect ensenble.
