People sometimes consider using sulfur dioxide aerosols to lower global temperatures as an emergency measure. And it might be that there are potential climate emergencies that that would be the least worst option for if we can't otherwise get our act together. But it would be terrible if it came to that because it would make the ocean acidifcation problem even worse.
MarginNote 3. It is more than reading. MarginNote combines reading, annotating, mindmapping etc. so it's a great tool to read and arrange your hard-to-reading books.
Obviously android phones get OS updates. Hackintoshes also get OS updates. But in either case there's never a guarantee unless you buy a current gen flagship. If you buy an iPhone you will consistently get updates for up to 5 years. Android is more of a "best effort" kind of deal. Maybe they will update your phone this year. Maybe not. Who knows?
Uh, unless you're building a money-making venture on it, you're fine.

There is also VirtualBox Open Source Edition that would be fine for this.

How should someone grow a product without a/b testing and/or metrics?
Apple enthusiasts buy Macbook Pros or iMacs. There’s nothing wrong with integrated displays. In fact, it saves on a ton of cable mess, and they are usually worlds better than what you would plug a computer into anyway.
This is really neat. What are the limitations on what you can host? Are they just static sites?
Yes it does support PDFs. Of course if you have an epub it will look better on a mobile device, but you can still use PDFs and get the sync features.
I used to pair WindowMaker with GNUstep apps, which were written in objc against AppKit APIs and some of them had a nice and consistent feel. The WindowMaker piece was a bit of an odd duck in this though, written in C and essentially being a traditional X WM.

The ocean isn’t acidifying, it is becoming slightly less basic. But that won’t do for scaremongering headlines.
I was a grad student at the Media Lab in its early days. I was attracted not by Negroponte but by the people he managed to attract: at the time, that included Marvin Minsky, Alan Kay, and Stewart Brand, as well as some less famous but truly brilliant people from the arts (Ricky Leacock, Muriel Cooper) and sciences (Steve Benton, inventor of white-light holography). It was an exciting place, but there was a hollowness at the core and not just architecturally (the shiny new IM Pei building was mostly empty space, since filled in).

Negroponte himself has always been a politician, a hypester, and a sleaze. His one true innovation was in fundraising – he was able to get industries that weren՚t used to funding research (eg the newspapers) to pony up for industry consortia. This was, maybe, better than the usual DoD funding that kept the AI lab alive, but it came with constraints of its own, including trying to impose IP agreements on the graduate students that made it difficult to open-source software. And of course in later days (I was mercifully gone by then) the creative approach to fundraising ran into even more serious issues with Jeffrey Epstein.

I՚d say evaluations of the Media Lab as an institution should be done separately from evaluations of any particular program or researcher who may have passed through there, because while the institution has some fundamentally broken aspects, there has been a lot of good work done there.
"If I hadn't snubbed Jobs and Woz, I might've been the Jef Raskin of Apple"

That quote made me look up who Ted Nelson was. His most notable project that I see is Xanadu which Wired described as "the longest-running vaporware project in the history of computing". Started in 1960, it didn't ship a working version until 2014.

I don't disagree that the Media Lab often overhypes things. But you need to be able to sell your ideas and get people excited about them to have an impact on the world. That involves being positive and having genuine excitement for the potential of something which today might be very hacky. I'm convinced this positivity is a lot of what makes Silicon Valley work.

A long time after Xanadu was founded, a contractor at CERN put together a basic, very imperfect way of publishing and connecting research papers on the computer networks called the World Wide Web. The Xanadu team said he stole their ideas and it was a "bizarre structure created by arbitrary initiatives of varied people and it has a terrible programming language". Tim Berners-Lee just kept shipping code and getting people to join his vision of the future and so today his WWW is what we're all using.

> chemical-washed chicken

Isn't all chicken "chemical-washed chicken"? Surely, they wash it in water at some point?
Furthermore, talking about the attempted murder in a vacuum is giving a pass to the similar violence that governments themselves do. Silk Road had to be vertically integrated for dispute resolution, whereas most businesses get to outsource their violence to the police.
>> My biggest challenge with the idea of governments printing the money they need is that there would be no accountability.

I think this is a good argument but there could be some kind of institutional structure to create accountability.

Kind of like the separation between the Federal Reserve and the Government. We need a structure that makes it difficult for the government to get the money. I think there is a difference between making it difficult and making it complicated. Right now it's not difficult for the government to get money somehow, it's just complicated but this complication just creates more bureaucratic jobs and makes the economy less efficient.
I suspect what the GP meant was: by making meat as affordable as it is, so that virtually all Americans can eat a substantial amount of it for every meal, we've reduced our ethical and quality standards.

It's an easy trope to suggest it's cruel to state meat should be less accessible to the poor. But virtually nobody would claim caviar, truffles, or saffron should be ubiquitous foods.

Little story for you.

When I made the GPT-2 Chess notebook (sigh... do I link to it and risk seeming like I'm plugging my stuff, or let people google for it? Whatever: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/12hlppt1f2N0L9Orp8YC...) one of the first questions a reporter asked me was "How many people played it?"

I had to be like "I have no idea. A few thousand at least, based on bandwidth bills."

Then they started asking if I was tracking the games. "Nope. I don't like apps that track data, so I didn't want to make one here."

And at the end of it, I was like... this is stupid. I should have tracked clicks and tracked the games.

We should have a clear distinction between "user data" and "data that common people might reasonably care about being tracked." The headlines are a strange game of telephone. Every app tracks data. That's what most apps are for.
I remember when I visited a supermarket in the states and noticed something very weird: Not only chicken breast was super super cheap but the color was whiteish and didn't look right to me.

Since a young age I visited egg farms and I can tell you the conditions are far from ideal, they even turn on the lights at 3am to enhance egg production. We're talking about egg farms that are regulated by EU laws. About 12 years ago the EU regulated how many chickens were allowed in a single case (about 8 I believe).

Even with EU regulation it is well known that the amount of antibiotics is simple too much and dangerous, we've law holes like: It is regulated in France but you can cross the border and get it in Spain as they don't control who buys it.

If this gets approved, I demand it to be labeled.
It's not. The model used historical figures from Jan 2017 as its input data, so would also be taking into account these New Year's mass-migrations. Also, this year's stopped at a relative early stage.

Sure, if you want to get precise, you can model a 0% reduction in traffic for the first 10 days, then a subsequent reduction to 99.99%. The numbers will be completely different than modelling a reduction to 99% for the whole period.

Quoting numerical estimates without understanding how the underlying model compares to reality, is just stupid.
What is the cost (for Apple) in straight up R&D dollars of building a new model of Mac? And how much does it cost them to tool up for manufacturing and create the logistic chain to put it in customers' hands?

Remember that Apple aims to sell a vertically integrated stack, all the way from their own cases, motherboards, and PSUs up through the OS and core apps. The point of this is to deliver a specific user experience that they control, and also to keep competitors out of their pool (they allowed licensed Mac clones circa 1994-96 and it didn't end well). While they still buy in CPUs from Intel and other components (RAM, video chipsets, SSDs, hard drives) from other suppliers, these are generally low-level components -- as low level as Apple can get -- and even then they're trying to build self-owned stacks so they're not dependent on anyone else (e.g. the A-series processors in the iPhone and iPad) -- a lesson they learned the hard way thanks to Motorola with the 68K and subsequently PowerPC architecture. (I'm guessing Tim Cook personally has bad memories of the failure to deliver a mobile G5 back in the day.)

Anyway ...

Developing a new machine from the ground up has got to cost in the tens of millions, at least. (Look at the sunk costs that went into the new Mac Pro, for example.)

Are there enough "enthusiast" customers with system-building interests out there to make such a beast net-profitable, after taking into account the brand dilution implication of stacking up too many SKUs (as they did in the Bad Old Days of the first half of the 1990s, before the Return of Jobs)?

I'm guessing they've done the calculation and concluded the answer is "no", at least for the time being.
What do you mean by "calmed me for years"?
Obviously humans are only capable of only caring about one issue at a time, so your criticism is unquestionably valid.

> A “mean” profitable customer would be misleading.

In no place did I suggest "mean profitable customer" as a metric. I sort of said the opposite.

At the same time, in a traditional industry we wouldn't consider people with an evaluation license or sample or who came in to wander and see our wares a "customer". They're a lead and have a cost associated with them.

> The point is you should be careful about reducing huge swaths of data to one datum. It often hides the more interesting insights.

Sure. At the same time, if you dance with 30 numbers looking for insight, pretty soon you're practicing qualitative, wishy-washy innumeracy. The discussion is about KPIs, which are all about "reducing huge swaths of data to one datum" but also absolutely essential to run a real business day to day.

Monitor more than one, and keep your eyes open for where they go wrong, and be ready to change what you do.
I hope most people would agree chickens are a bit more sentient than salad.
I think they are not the same thing, not exactly, and the difference is interesting.

Hydrogen peroxide is a rather - comparatively - unstable substance, it decomposes to water and oxygen; hydrogen peroxide is a rather strong oxidizer, which defines a lot of its properties.

I'd assume double -O- bond in peracetic acid behaves the same - decomposes with release of O and acetic acid (or the anion of the acid). This oxidizing effect likely provides the effect which is desired - the same which chlorine would produce, that is, oxidizing a lot of things in chickens making them safer.

I've heard that hydrogen peroxide is used in Europe instead of chlorine in US for water treatment - for example, in swimming pools. I'm not sure why peracetic acid is chosen.
Can't wait until the free market fixes this!

I don't want meat washed in vinegar, bleh. Maybe co-incidentally, that's how some supermarkets used to prolong the shelf life of meat once it started becomming smelly and sticky. Just washed it like that in vinegar, and re-packaged it. Like 20 years ago. Thanks but no thanks.
It must suck to not be able to focus on more than one thing at once.

You’re totally just spouting a false dilemma.

Guess what, I can not use plastic straws, be worried about video collection, AND police brutality! Crazy, right?

But go use your plastic straws, because you’re WOKE to the real issues.
Yes, the claim is untrue on its face: peracids and acids are chemically different and have different properties. PR flaks shouldn't be lying to the public, and I don't want to minimize that.

On the other hand, peracetic acid is something I would accept as a chemical treatment without qualms, while chlorine compounds would squick me out. It actually will break down into vinegar when it oxidizes something, and on the surface of raw meat, this process will be completed by the time a consumer gets it.
I allows horrendous poultry farming practices, which in the US are "fine" because the meat gets washed afterwards anyway, so who cares chickens are standing in their shit until their own feet dissolve - the end product is fine, right?

I'm not a vegetarian, but god I hope the American chicken never enters this market.

CSAIL and the Media Lab are very different places, with different funding sources and ways of interacting with the broader community. There’s also some friction between the two. So to rope it all together is your incorrect outsider impression.

My guess is most high schoolers probably do want to see fancy buildings and robots. There’s no beakers with smoke or explosions (hopefully) happening in a computer science department, so it sounds like they’re doing what they think is their best to appeal to a younger audience. I’m sorry it wasn’t the right marketing message for you, but if you wanted to understand at a deeper level what they were doing there’s no lack of information on the department webpage if you go explore the actual research groups and papers.

From my perspective, MIT truly is an amazing and special place filled with fabulous minds and ample resources. But it’s not for everyone.
Xen/KVM market share probably dwarfs VMware if you look at total systems. It's what a lot of the large cloud providers use (AWS/GCE at least). I assume Azure uses HyperV, and also that a lot of shops are using it because it's the supported MS product. Our company has VMware and HyperV deployments for just that reason (Office IT has their own MS cluster, systems uses a VMware cluster we admin. Yes, it's silly, but does illustrate a point).
The crash data is needed for debugging. It's debatable if it's your data, it's the developer's misbehaving code. An app can be architected so more of the code runs on the server than on the client, if an action you took on the client causes a crash on ny server I'm not going to ask you for permission to look at my crash logs.
This is a company already trusted with extremely sensitive information and who have suffered a stream of stories suggesting they may not be fulfilling that trust in the way a reasonable customer might expect, all the while while charging users enough of a price that the service isn't obviously ad/data sale supported.

The bar should be a lot higher for them, it's not some free tic-tac-toe app.
Crash reporting can be important, but there isn't a requirement to use an advertising company to facilitate it.

>I'm not sure we can trust US resident's opinions on taste as long as Hershey's chocolate still exists.

As an American, I agree with you 100%. Our opinions on taste are utterly worthless.

It's not just Hershey's chocolate either (which is already bad enough), it's so many other foods that are commonplace here. Food quality in this country is abysmal. You can get great food here, but it's harder to find and you'll pay dearly for it, but the stuff that regular Americans eat is generally awful.
The US imported food has been the stuff of jokes in my country for almost 20 years now, even before we entered the EU, and we are an Eastern-European country with all sorts of other problems. Can’t really understand how can many US commenters say that US food is as good and healthy as European food with a straight face.
Who knows what's next. Cheaper Tesla vehicles, more US technology, less regulation around the EU, and so on. This whole "chemical-washed" paranoia is just propaganda from EU farmers, and EU protectionism. I for one welcome cheaper products, so at least people who barely afford food would at least have an option. Certainly if standards of living are so high around the EU no one would buy such products anyway, right?

The Turkish government is seeking to tap into eastern Med's natural gas and oil reserves, while ignoring International laws and discarding neighboring countries Exclusive economic zones.

So acting basically like a pirate and threating each day with war. Let me give you a few examples and you can verify them later any way you wish.

In Cyprus the sent -not one but two- drilling ships and research vessels to search for oil, with the escort of Turkish Navy of course. They failed to find gas in one location and are moving to the next. To add insult to the injury they even say they will share what the find, like a thief saying he will sell your stuff and share with you the money...

In Greece were I live, there is a lot of up-heat with the recently signed Turkish-Lybian moratorium which basically ignores the Greek island of Crete (as well others smaller ones) and declares EEZ with Lybia, which they call "neighbours" (look at a map please), at the same time ignoring the rights of Greece, Cyprus, and Israel.

Also search for the clean water crisis in Iraq, which Turkish government is ...also to be blamed. Basically they build dams cutting Euphrates river flow and DENYING their neighbor's RIGHT for clean water, violating other International agreements.

Sure. The trick is that the thread design does not ENFORCE that, threads as an abstraction involve shared memory.

Or a bug. And a bug or a brittle design is exactly when you need a debugger the most, right?

Sounds fair on both counts... Good news from José above that the official MSSQL support is coming soon and will be merged into ecto_sql package.... and like I said, if you (or someone else) decides they want to work on updating the old ecto2 SQLite adapter to work with Ecto3, I can't promise much, but I'd be glad to try and help!

Also, as a note, my first production Elixir service didn't talk to a relational DB at all, and was basically a thin API wrapper around ElasticSearch... others I know have basically used it just for realtime features connecting to browsers with WebSockets for push via Phoenix Channels (or now LiveView)... so even without any of those database adapters you may well find a use case it's a perfect fit for, and where lack of those adapters is not an impediment! Either way, good luck!
