Thanks for those links. I did a quick search for privacy predictions (something I'm interested in) and found some interesting ones - particularly the first one below - it seems to be predicting ClearView AI - but back in 2010. Wow!

2010

-People become more privacy aware after an image search engine with facial recognition is popularized and they realize that any picture ever posted of them by anyone is in the search result for their name. People become less willing to let others take compromising pictures as if they become posted, the link back to them will be made.

2) Security/privacy will become something normal people and businesses ask about, and ask fairly superficial questions about, during many transactions (e.g. people are going to stop being fucking morons and just relying on "the cloud" for sensitive data without questioning it; they may still end up using the cloud, but will want to make a more informed choice.)

I'd like to believe that we'll be more privacy-conscious in 2014, but I don't actually think that will be the case. I'd like to see more scrutiny of the data companies collect about users, particularly because they are now collecting more data than ever before. Some companies like Google have staggering amounts of user data. They're probably salivating at the prospect of capturing even more precise user behaviour through an OS (Chrome) that potentailly captures everything you do online.

Far from the tech community (who you might hope would be most informed about this) actually raising concerns about the privacy implications of this, I think Google (and other companies) will continue to get away with barely any scrutiny at all.

2. More hacking scandals come to light and they are used as cover to restrict privacy and empower the intelligence community.

Privacy still will be a target to crush for governments, and so any activity/communication media/etc that could affect that main objective.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8823103

- Privacy will become more mainstream. After apps like DarkMail are introduced, Google and the other players will start to reconsider privacy and we, the people will gain.

btrfs works fine in Synology's implementation. Please keep in mind that RAID is not a backup. You can backup to a cloud service or to a friend's house with its own Synology.
Yeah, this is the legal system in a nutshell. Don't think you're safe in any meaningful way because the law says so. At the end of the day you would have to litigate it yourself and that is usually not worth it unless the offense is truly egregious.

Against an adversary with deep pockets like a corporation, you can lose even if you win. This is how patent trolls extort companies, litigating a patent suite is usually a seven figure endeavor. And there's no guarantee you win. It's cheaper to pay the licensing free from the trolls, who are smart enough to make sure it's always less than the cost of litigating.
The problem is not how much tax we collect. It's how the money is spent.

1. Money will be printed massively to support artificially covid-impacted economies/businesses. Stocks (from non covid impacted companies) and Crypto will continue to raise.

2. Remote work will continue to gain traction. Remember that in 2020 remote work was terrible for new remote workers, as they were unprepared and face hard conditions (stress, children with closed schools), but shows that remote working can work indeed. New tools for team building will pop-up and social life will be partially transferred to local and non professionnal events.

3. Real estate will slightly evolves as houses/appartment should not only be chosen to live in but could also be used to work : square meters/feet per person will increase, measurements of the quality access to water, electricity, Internet will become a standart. Commercial estate will fall hard. Locations with high life ROI will see new comers and increasing prices. City councils will be on huge pressure.

4. Take-away only restaurants and shops will increase.

5. Universal delivery box will happen to allow asynchronous distribution of goods (by night when traffic is low, by drone ?)

6. The EU e-privacy law altogether with more legal and financial penalties will make US companies to lose momentum in Europe

7. Google Ad network will either dismantled or facing a boycott from other parties

Yes this exactly. If Apple insists that they have absolute control over what you can install on hardware that you ostensibly own then they also bear the blame for for kowtowing to every jurisdiction's whims.

The ability to install the software we want on hardware we own should be every user's irrevocable right. Wrap it in three layers of warnings and opt-in dialogs if necessary to protect people but it needs to be possible.

Maybe you trust Apple enough to decide what software can run but are you also comfortable giving this power to whoever is in power in your government at any given time? It's an extremely dangerous precedent.

Phi As a Radix
Phi[0] is an interesting number. It shows up in nature. It has a natural and elegant definition. It's small, and between unity and 2, and it is irrational and algebraic (the root of -x^2 + x + 1).

It also has a very interesting property when used as a base (radix[1]) for integers.

Because it is less than 2, you can only use the symbols 0 and 1 to write numbers in base-phi. But in order to define a sensible radix system you also need to use the floor and ceil functions. Full details at [2]

When used as a base for integers, no integer in base-phi has the sequence '101' (which means you can use it for binary packing, a sort of 'multipart/form' in binary with the boundary as '101'. I find it particularly interesting that '101' in binary proper is 5, the square root of which being part of the definition of phi!

For your interest below I give the first 65 integers in base-phi as a comment below.

The even stranger thing is that it seems that integers in base-phi have no sequence like '10k1' (with k 0s between 1s) where k is odd.

I think this strange symmetry is uniquely fitting for integers in the radix of the number so linked with symmetry.

Hope you enjoyed geeking out on numbers with me!

Creating and defending a trademark is very expensive.

Many restaurants would prefer not to spend this money just to prevent unauthorized listings.

They’d rather delegate the responsibility of preventing unauthorized listings to the state attorney who has more resources and expertise.
I do not find it convincing because reduced GDP does not equate to weakness. It has to be viewed in context: GDP would be reduced but per capita GDP would not be reduced by 10 percent (because the population would also be lower). Furthermore, the UK spends more on Scotland than Scotland contributes, so it's a net economic burden. Independence would remove that burden, leaving the UK better off.

I think I have already expressed this perfectly clearly in previous comments, so this is the last I will say about it.

Some random fun things you can do with DFAs/NFAs:

1. From two machines you can build a single machine that corresponds to running them in lockstep/parallel. Most language classes are closed under unions but regular languages stand out by being closed
under intersections, and that relies on this construction. You can't replicate this construction with pushdown automata to show that context-free languages are closed under intersection because the product automata would require two stacks. But in fact the intersection of a context-free language with a regular language is context-free via this construction.

2. You can run them backwards. Usually works best with NFAs since reversing a DFA can seriously inflate the state space. E.g. if you're trying to match a regular expression of the form '<re1> string <re2>' you can search for 'string' and then match re1 backward and re2 forward. Running machines backwards can also be used for computing capture groups after a match has been found since the fastest methods for matching don't let you compute capture groups on the fly. Decoupling the re1 and re2 machines also means you end up with two independent machines with smaller state spaces, which means smaller, cache-friendlier lookup tables. See the next item for a less conventional example of what you can do with small state spaces.

3. While DFA execution seems inherently serial, it can actually be parallelized very effectively if the state space is small enough, through speculative execution. Suppose you want to lex a string in parallel by chopping it in half. You don't know what state the DFA will be in when it reaches the halfway point, but you can process the second half for all possible states at that point. Then when both halves are finished you throw away all but one of the speculative answers for the second half based on the final state for the first half. This is extremely fast and practical with PSHUFB/TBL-like instructions if your state space is small enough, at most 16 states for PSHUFB. You can mux together multiple PSHUFBs to go beyond that limit but the cost increases substantially. (This is a parallel prefix algorithm when applied recursively. As far as I know the application to parallel lexing goes back to the Hillis-Steele paper on data-parallel algorithms from 1986.)

4. There's a critical optimization for the last algorithm which is sometimes applicable. A log file processor might have numerous internal states while processing a line, so you'd rather not speculate on all of them. Instead you can chop the file in half and from the second half seek forward to the next newline and start there. This avoids speculation entirely if there's a unique state following a newline character regardless of what state you were in before the newline.
Most banks provide most services at loss and make most of their money on mortgages. So they will provide payment services in the hope that 20 years later you get a mortgage from the bank you are familiar with.

Notice also that the whole business model relies on the bank having privileged access to central bank money and sharing that access with the plebs for some percentage interest. However current technology makes it feasible for central banks to simply interact with consumers directly. The only remaining problem is how to decide who is likely to pay back the loan. Retail banks could be relegated to credit check providers.

But check out the functional explanation at [1].

Over the long term (more like decades), a prediction like yours might eventually take place but it's not going to happen in the next 365 days.

Yes, old Venice eventually lost its 13th century financial supremacy to New York and London, and New York City lost its film industry to Hollywood California. Therefore, Silicon Valley's dominance won't last forever but they'll still be the #1 tech hub in December 31 2021.

If useful, the US Department of the Treasury can issue a coin or bill with a value of any denomination, including .005 USD, and so is “infinitely divisible”.

Bitcoin divisibility is limited, by design, to 0.00000001 BTC (1 Satoshi)

Whether this is “enough” is very difficult to answer definitively. If the demand for BTC is greater than the supply, the value of BTC will rise until supply and demand reach equilibrium. If the demand outpaces supply, holders (“HODLERS”) have less incentive to trade and more incentive to keep their BTC, because the value of their BTC increases.

If demand gets too great, few to no holders trade, because they get more value by doing nothing, and trades involving BTC slow or stop completely. (We can think of this as kind of a “consensus attack” by “store of value” advocates on the “medium of exchange” advocates.) The demand doesn’t go away, though, so supply and demand can’t reach equilibrium.

Eventually this would lead people to start using something else as a medium of exchange, perhaps just bartering at first, eventually settling on something common. So now we have a problem: BTC demand has been satisfied by another “medium of exchange”. But what happens to the “store of value” part of BTC if it is no longer the “medium of exchange”? Do coins become like works of art, traded infrequently for great sums? Or do they become worthless?

Your persistent desire to expose your ignorance and belligerence to us all on this subject is quite fascinating.

I’m curious as to why others behave this way for any discernible pattern to emerge. I’m more likely to comment on Reddit as opposed to on HN because I sort of make a quick simulation of how it will be received. Depending on my mood and whether I have an idea, if there’s a higher chance I’ll be downvoted, I’m more likely to refrain from participating.

HN is brutal when it comes to comments, not as harsh as StackOverflow, but the probabilities of a comment being received well here are so low. To me, the expectations generally seem to be that: individuals are discussing in good faith, the comment is not “booby trapped” to intentionally cause a negative emotional response, the poster has taken some non-negligible amount of time to form their thought or they are clearly versed in the topic (ie use the correct lingo, etc), any tinge of a political perspective leans libertarian, etc. Those are some of the factors I use to judge whether I should post a comment on HN.

On Reddit, the filter is “is my thought hilarious” or “I can significantly improve the direction of this conversation by participating.” On StackOverflow, my filter is, “has any other human that’s ever used SO ever wondered what I’m about to ask?”
