> Nobody has to tell kids to google the text of an installation error for the game they were trying to install.

I'm not sure what kids you're referring to, but when I look at my 14 yo sister and her friends, nearly all they know how to do is start Snapchat. If they'd get a cryptical error they'd call a family member to fix it for them. I feel like millenials have broader knowledge of computers than the newer generations, because these days most things just work. And when iPhones don't work, you don't really get error messages or debugging tools, they just don't work.

When I was young, stuff didn't just work. I could tell by the sound of my dial up modem whether it would succesfully connect. I could modify the registry to fix problems, I could put more RAM in my PC if it became too slow and it would take hours to reinstall Windows. This is not true anymore. Kids these days use more computers that no longer allow this type of tinkering (Apple devices, Consoles, etc.). A small group though, still builds gaming PCs and buys a Raspberry Pi to tinker with. It's no longer a necessity to be able to get on the internet though, it's a choice.

The issue with your statement is that it generalizes. In the end, there are still lots of kids without a clue how things work and a bunch of them who do. It's kind of like car ownership. Most people will drive one, but most won't have a clue how to change a spark plug. You can't make a statement about this that applies to a whole generation, however.
Human rights tend to complicate these things. USA and every other developed country would surely be able to achieve the same under similar circumstances.

Perhaps it is useful to separate means from ends. Of course, we both agree that we want less crime (as an end), but I might favor rehabilitation as an end - I want prisoners to find their way back to productive society because I care - but not as a means - I might not think rehabilitating inmates reduces crime.

Do you favor retribution as a end, or a means?

I completely agree. Although it's refreshing to have an official team leader mention generics as a priority rather than the passive-aggressive stance that used to be the norm a few years back (aka "show us why you need it, and give us a perfect design if you think that's possible).

I think the "we're working on it, but it's going to take a lot of time before we get something good enough" current position is the perfect middleground.

The Find my Friends web page that apple provides through iCloud actually works really well in kiosk mode (automatically updating, zooming into the relevant part of the map). So I just used one of the many tutorials on how to set up a kiosk om the Raspberry Pi [1]. I augmented it with a little ruby script to check if the WiFi connection was up before loading the page. Also, iCloud logs itself out about once a month, so I put a VNC client on there to be able log back in (but you can also hook up mouse and keyboard).

Our company is based out of India selling online courses for Data Science community and we use two payment providers: Instamojo and Paypal. Instamojo is for Indian cards and Paypal is for international payments. We could have used Instamojo for all payments but many customers like using Paypal as they don't have to worry about saving credit card information with some random payment provider.

Stripe just came out of private beta in India but their processing fees are pretty high. We are looking at two providers as they are promising better fees. Razorpay and Payu:

- Razorpay is pretty much Stripe of India with the documentation and UI similar to Stripe.

- Payu is an old dog in Indian Payment Industry with good sales team but bad integration and overall product.

When I have a problem with my car, I take it to a dealer or a certified repairshop. I effectively know jack-all about the workings of that machine. I can be easily conned into paying for repairs that don't need doing. Do you wish to claim that no such context exists for you?

It's easy to gloss over the fact that for >99% of users the machine "just needs to work", and I don't think that's unreasonable. There will be a subset of kids that /do/ take an interest in this stuff, and will pick it up as the next generation of "IT magicians".

I just read your blog post. While I love the idea, I'm curious if you've considered scenarios where private keys from a pair of registered TLDs on your blockchain are lost or stolen.

With CAs and domain registrars it's possible to verify your identity through other means if you just forgot your password to access their database directly.
Yeah, no dice.
That is indeed where I got the idea from :-)
I am trying to create a metasearch engine for apparel in India. Apparel shopping is different than commodity shopping and requires lots of browsing before selecting your final product to buy. A user will know about a limited number of vendors and will search for products only on them. A central web/app is needed to give results from the long tail of vendors. This product can be extended to furniture and lifestyle domain too.
I am working on a natural language parser using symbolic AI (no machine learning...). It's working a bit like a multi-pass parser for programming languages, but with the ability to handle multiple ambiguous meanings of a sentence at the same time. An English sentence is translated into an intermediate representation. Or rather, depending on the complexity, hundreds or thousands of intermediate representations for the same sentence. Then there will be several passes to eliminate interpretations, until it finds the most probable one. It's tightly integrated with a database for human knowledge to evaluate the different interpretations. The goal is that you can add data to and query from the database using English language.
I started working on it 3 years ago, and there is still a long way to go. I have done most of the infrastructure (including a high-level programming language for pattern recognition that can seamlessly handle asynchronous database accesses) and I am close to completing the first pass....
I have with LSD, a truly terrifying experience. I think it can still be worth trying but things can surely go very wrong with anxiety and hallucinogens.
>The only way around this is to develop tools and solutions.

It's an interesting thought experiment what those tools would be like.

Maybe something like freenet mixed with ipfs over a wifi mesh network? Not sure how that would work with that much latency.

You could have throwaway wifi dropboxes to propagate between people.

One project I read about was a raspberry pi wifi "grenade". It boots off a usb with the encryption key then it runs off a ramdisk. Then you "pull the pin" and leave it. If it's discovered then nobody can analyze it to find out what it was doing or who it was communicating with.
Then where does the money come from?

This is even more suspicious if it is not sharing revenue generated by the user, as it then sounds like an unsustainable marketing stunt.
Hi there,
Thank you for sharing this very interesting idea, I would love to see it come to fruition.

I’m actually a dental student myself, and it saddens me that a significant chunk of dentists take advantage of the of the self-policing inherent to the field. It generates generalized distrust and resentment among the rest of dentists, in addition to being simply unfair.

As far as I know, there are no diagnosis codes in dentistry, just treatment codes. If it were, I imagine it could be possible to prevent this problem by randomly and routinely validating patients charts.

On a side note, it is a budding dream of mine to build a start up related to dentistry, particularly in the realm of dental informatics, but not limited to it. I was wondering if you would be willing to chat with me about your experience sometime. It sounds fascinating.

Thanks again.
We're going to rue the day we started doing this.

Reality is actually more exciting and more boring. Apple sold about $20B worth of iPads last year alone and it has a sizable install base for all these services Apple is pushing: TV+, Arcade, News+, Apple Music, iCloud, etc.

There’s a lot to criticize about the software, it is actually very easy to criticize the software for not doing the things you want it to do because it seems like it ought to be able to, and there is obviously a better way to do the thing you want to do if Apple would only do X, Y, and Z and stop doing A and B to hold it back.

Here’s where reality gets really boring though: iPads are only tablets, and only of the stuff in your bag, leave on a table or have it permanently docked in some kind of kiosk variety. That lends itself to being a bit better at some applications than others, but there‘a some applications it will always be downright inferior to compared to a laptop or phone. It’s not going to fit in my pocket better than my phone, and it’s not the entire self-contained package that my laptop is, nor does it have the benefit of always being plugged into a wall socket being able to draw essentially unlimited power that my desktop has. I could try to replicate some of the benefits of those devices with some creative planning and a big enough pile of money with some mixed success, but in exchange for not being as good for certain applications, it is absolutely top tier for reading and drawing. It’s all about the trade offs you are willing to make.

If what a tablet is better at is more important to you than what a laptop is better at, and the few things you would prefer to do on a laptop can still be done on a tablet, you might make the tradeoff to spend more money to have both, or you might make the tradeoff to save some money and only have the tablet. Neither is a bad choice to make.

Putting it that way is boring though, and it doesn’t play into the narrative that we’re only going to have one or the other at some far flung point in the future and tablets are the predestined winner of that zero sum game, you know, just like how we only have GUIs these days and positively no one uses what we once called the command-line interface.

In retrospect the above comment is less a direct response to Gruber’s article, and more a response to a broad swath of sentiments expressed here in this thread and across the part of the web that spends too much time talking about Apple. It should be understood as such anyway.
I think it’s a great idea. I first started learning Dutch with Michel Thomas audio course which is very much about being in a simulated small language class, and you need to say sentences when prompted by the “teacher”. Later in, I learned almost all the Dutch I needed to pass the citizenship language exam just by conversing with friends and family in Dutch, gradually building up fluency.

GitHub Turned into an Enterprise Under Microsoft?
I was requested to remove a training file from my Deep Learning Language detection repo (only 64 stars but still). The repo used Deep Learning to detect programming language of a file or snippet.

> In 2012, he agreed to accept what he likely considered prize money and renting his name as an endorsement.

If you are a tenured/tenure-track professor at a tier-1 research university, your name is literally your career - you don't rent this out lightly on some whim. You also don't take money from another institution to create the 'X+Y University Collaborative Research Lab' without running this by legal.

Further, the affidavit outlines more involved collaboration (co-advising / hosting / advising students, $800k to build a joint-lab etc).
> which only last about three years tops before you need a new pair -- batteries!which only last about three years tops before you need a new pair -- batteries!

Needing a new battery should be the absolute LAST reason you would want to replace your electronic device, not only in the sense that the customer is getting screwed this way through planned obsolescence, but also because this only makes the problem of electronic waste so much worse.

You should be able to replace the battery in your phone, watch, remote, electric car, and really every single device. I don't care said device would be slightly thicker because of it, the companies will innovate around that eventually. It's far from a good enough reason to create devices without replaceable batteries. I find this to be one of the most anti-consumer features a company can add to their products.
Galileo's latest quarterly performance report ignores 6-day long outage
The sentence "routinely showering (hot-to-) cold resulted in a 29% reduction of self-reported sick leave from work but not illness days" raises some alarms. Also the fact that so many participants discontinued the intervention "because of its burden or a sickness" (much fewer discontinuers in the control group).
I mean, I'm glad people are working on this but I've seen longer dissertations and I'm pretty skeptical that this has any chance of working.
Making a wheel isn't hard. You cut a tree and core it, add an axle and cap times two and you have a cart. Tame a horse, and you have transportation.

People saying its easy isn't taking into consideration that this is knowledge that took a really long time to figure out and effectively pass on. Knowing that rubbing two of the right sticks together for long enough will produce friction that can lead to enough heat for a fire isn't something that a person with no knowledge easily comes up with by themselves.
It's possible to be intelligent but not have an interest in passing on the genes for such.

Except that $6000 Mac Pro could have been like $3000 if Apple had used similar consumer Ryzen processors instead of Intel Xeons. I imagine that would've opened up the professional market a bit more for Apple, while it's still way above what most consumers would want to pay.

I really don't know how Apple justifies using Xeons instead of AMD Ryzen in Mac Pros. Every way you look at it - whether it's cheaper for buyers, or higher profit margin for Apple - it would seem to be the smart way to go about it.

Sometimes (often?), company relationships really stand in the way of progress.
Politically motivated people throw the phrase “human rights” around to justify any incompetence but I don’t think my human rights were respected at all during that one year of on-and-off construction noise throughout the day.
That discussion has not come up yet. The kids are old enough to be able to switch it off themselves on their phone if they wanted to but so far they seem comfortable with it.

It works both ways: they can see at any moment in time where their parents are, which may be a soothing idea. With one parent travelling a lot for business the screen in the kitchen teaches them a bit about geography too. (What country is mummy in now?)
Sorry, no technical comments but a UI one: Please change the font/style. Depending on monitor color settings, the paragraph text in Retina Thin is really hard to read, but even on my other monitor it’s still a problem with the letter "s" [0]. I think it’s a problem with the thinness and white on dark background. It was hurting my eyes and permanently distracting me while trying to read the copy.

Not op, but my 2 cents.

Stripe's developer UX is godly, from api docs to the dashboard it's something all B2B companies that offer APIs should aspire to.

Secondly, with stripe elements it can be styled into the website much nicer than PayPal buttons.

PayPal does support more countries and still has some brand recognition with customers as "a safe way to pay online", but between the bad UX for both business and developer, as well as their tendency to randomly freeze accounts, we try to dissuade clients away from it unless it's a significant revenue stream.
The feeling after doing that ...
As pointed out in other responses, that's easily down with destructuring and matches in other languages, and even using a regular "case" by building the bits into a number (since the questions have boolean answers in this case).

However, as you yourself hinted, the cost (in C anyway) is giving up the short circuit - which might be expensive, or worse - might have unwanted side effects.

I'm not aware of a common language construct that would switch/match on both A and B, but defer executing B unless its value is actually needed.
