Blockchains may be generally less efficient for storing and processing lots of data (though there are specialized blockchains for storage, for GPU rendering, for computation, and so on), but the flip side of this is, do most users of web2 services want their data collected, processed, analysed, rebundled, and resold to the extent that it is?

In some cases, maybe. But I think what pays for the servers running all these services is the advertising industry. Whether you like it or not, you are paying for the services you use, but in ways that are often opaque to you. Even if you agreed to let Facebook use your data, you have no transparency into what exactly they're doing with it, and you don't benefit from it beyond access to their platform. In many instances, you'd be fine with a subset of the functionality (do we really need AI-curated news feeds designed to keep us infinitely scrolling)?
it was pretty funny to watch.

also a lot of "rugpull" comments are a meme that get repeated in any uncertainty or accident, i spill my coffee "rugged again". in this case the team didn't know who their bidder was until after the auction ended.
>There is back-and-forth as the estimates are questioned for being too high, almost never for being too low.

I believe this has only happened to me once in my career. My employer had recently switched from flat rate project bids to time and materials. A data transformation project that looked like it would take five or six weeks turned out to have repetitive tasks that could be automated easily. My estimate of three days, which was already padded, wasn't appreciated by the PM what wanted a month of revenue. After being told several times to account for contingencies and not budging much on my estimate, the project was taken from me and given to another engineer who gave the PM the estimate she wanted. While this was going on, I had already written the necessary code. My coworker had a month of mostly relaxed days as I turned the code over to him and he got busy finding ways to look like he was doing work for a month. Maybe I should have done that instead.

> The interoperability is what we've lost in the Web 2.0 era

This is a huge claim that doesn't match reality. We still use browsers, HTTP clients still respect mediatypes, and websites still return HTML. We have even more standards now than we did at the beginning of Web 2.0, with things like microdata, opengraph, etc. Even non-HTML HTTP APIs are even more standard with things like grpc, json-api.org, and graphql.

Maybe since my job is to literally do this I have a different take.
Something like this should not be possible. Instead of adding new "features" left and right, Python must deal with problems like these.

Fix the bugs, improve performance, sort out packaging. Leave the language as it is, improve the implementation. It is already possible to write any kind of software using existing features.

Let's avoid making this language harder than it has to be. It was a truly simple language, now it is turning into Frankenstein's monster and you have to google for new added syntax every time you need to use it.

> Yes they're only writing the id of the error, but if you just Google that you usually get a super indepth description with steps how to resolve it.

This is a lot of fun to do when you're trying to figure out why your network driver is crashing. Had that happen before and had to result to using my mobile phone, trying to identically write the code from my computer. Again, lots of fun. Extra fun ensures when the solution involves having to download a new driver, which you then have to download on the phone, figure out how to transfer (good luck if you have an iPhone) without using WiFi since your network card doesn't work, and then finally apply the update.

Maybe, just maybe, they can add a "Details" button that would actually print out the error itself.

There are idiots everywhere, but that does not mean the general public are blind to the consequences of Brexit. Heck, your hypothetical Cornish fisherman could be fully aware of the consequences but still think it was worth it for any number of other reasons (as a sizeable minority of the population obviously still do).
Yes sorry I should have been clearer, it’s the connections from clients having to timeout and re-establish upon IP change that is the issue. Specifically where those packets might be going over a SD-WAN type solution where a WAN change is non-disruptive to SD-WAN destine traffic. It relies on clients having NAT addresses and using those addresses for Internet destination addresses (not just private space).

Another issue with SLAAC/lack of NAT on the LAN clients is you can’t do policy based routing on the router, eg I’ve got a fast fibre but it’s costly to use, I’ve also got a cheap and cheerful cable/DSL line that I use for backups and FTP. I want to route all requests to my backup service (which has a domain that resolves to a public IPv6 address) via the cable/DSL and everything else via Fibre. Easy to do on IPv4.

Huawei ships with their own app store on devices with Play Services as well. There's no restrictions for other manufacturers.

What other manufacturers can't do is fragment the ecosystem and prevent people from also using Play Store.
I can understand that, as it's debating the very basic tenets of society - shall we stick together for the power of the masses (and vaccinate) or we are on our own (buy a gun and live in a remote cottage)? While I can understand the attractiveness of being on my own, I tend to stick with the community option.
I have been considering it, but I have not done yet. I have taken 1 month break, went on some great vacations. It could have been enough, if the work environment presented wasn't a worse version of my previous one.

I migrated into a country where everyone "can speak English". After 7 years living in this situation, I have ran out of emotional capacity/patience to handle this situation.

When people only choose to speak in a language you can understand, only on a "need you to hear/engage on this" basis, You get stuck between isolation and exhaustion.

Hi, one of the project's co-authors here (SAPI).

I think you might want to take a look at https://fuchsia.dev/ - although I haven't worked with it myself so far, the stated goals might be somewhat in line with what you're proposing here.
No, of course not. Because we also continue to listen to people that only were "right" once due to sheer luck that parts of the utter BS they spread turned out to be not completely wrong in a single instance.

On a serious note, how often did they really mess up? In a sense of having consequences that are close to impossible to fix? Not once, if you ask me.
He's trying to gain a minor benefit of cross-timezone synchronization at the expense of a major cost of disconnecting your lifelong sense of time from your daily activities. You would have to relearn what 3am meant in a practical sense (mid-day?, mid-of-night?) in your part of the world, which would be a big pain, but you could eventually do it. What would the big payoff be for that effort? 3am for you would be the same "instant" as 3am for someone in another timezone. Great, but you wouldn't know whether that instant would be their mid-day or mid-of-night, so you would have to look it up anyway to schedule the meeting, just as you would if you were on different timezones.

Then you move to another timezone and have to learn the meaning of 3am all over again.

Lots of pain, no net gain.
I'm sure Google and Apple would be in tears if all those users would migrate to their streaming services.
Next.js GraphQL API Route with Helix (Screencast)
South Korean company tried to do just that - they built an OS called "Tizen" which withered and died because without user-facing software, it was a horrible user experience and people were seriously annoyed that they couldn't use the software they actually care about. Instead, they went and bought Google/Apple devices instead.

Another USA company tried to do that as well. They called their OS "Windows Phone" and it withered and died because a fractured support for software people care about doesn't make a useful device.

A Chinese company tried to do that as well. They now again ship Google Services next to their own Huawei services in Europe because without software support, their smart devices weren't useful to users either.

So what that it has unassuming keywords? If they thought the list might get out, then of course they would add a lot of keywords that don't matter. The computer doesn't get tired because it now has to check for 100x the number of keywords.
H&M was not a "consumer-led boycott" - it was an effort by the owners of the digital infrastructure (major ecommerce platforms in this case) to actively hide the existence of H&M stores in China.

The US vs China argument is detrimental in any case. The discussion should evolve into achieving digital sovereignity as a whole, not argue about whether player x or y in the current rotten system is better.

This will most certainly not be solved on an EU level. The only outcome that they could produce would be replacing US & China with EU-controlled narrative and again, it's just repeating the same problem, albeit in lesser severity.
The ROC(Taiwan)/PRC(China) issue is so much more complicated than "CCP regularly threatens to invade".
Striking that the only reply in this thread which refers to actual data is the one which is downvoted. More than a political issue, for many, mask-wearing has taken on something like religious significance.
Given how ineffective vaccines or any other measure have been at stopping Covid-19 from spreading within prisons, jail time for this is effectively sentencing people to be infected with a deadly disease in the name of protecting them against it (but only if they're poor and can't afford the fines). I'd say that any loss of trust in the state and medical industry resulting from that would be 100% earned.
It's avoiding banning looking at CityMapper, Google Maps, etc.

(And perhaps even poking 'next track' button which is not that different to the same on the dashboard's cassette player.)

The prose you quoted is just the paper's explanation, I assume the 'all in-hand use' from the title is closer to what will be in the actual bill.
This is a critical point.

All of the hottest utility-scale storage technologies have really quite poor round-trip efficiency, but it doesn't matter. Lower efficiency requirements so radically reduce the system cost that you add more cheap generating capacity on top, and come out ahead.

There is not now, and never will be, any shortage of available land area for solar panels. Almost every place you can think of to put them improves the place. On a reservoir, crop land, pasture land, canal, they reduce evaporation, and run cooler than in the desert. On crop and pasture land, they reduce heat stress and water demand in the plants, improving yield and irrigation efficiency. On roofs and parking lots, they slow sun damage. On parking lots they even keep the rain off.
Hence "to avoid busy-waiting."

Some applications with softer low-latency requirements tend to spin for a certain amount of time before going to sleep and await data arrival. Also, if it is hit with a constant stream of data to process, it wouldn't even get a chance to block.

At the other extreme end of RT computing, you usually don't have an OS that blocks using privileged instructions in the first place. You just...schedule things.
I mean, phones were very very different when the law went into place.

I don't think it's quite fair to be totally harsh on the legislators not predicting modern smartphone complexity.

If you ban it completely you'd also ban using GPS/Maps/Sat Nav apps.
Yeah, it's a reasonable explanation, the people who really gave their money for the cars are the converted/convinced/conned ones. And people hate to shatter their belief in their own sense of judgement.

Note I say it's a reasonable explanation, although I don't want to assert how accurate it is in regards to Tesla owners - someone should do the actual research.
Not OP but perhaps having a law in place and that law enforced would have made the accident less likely in the first place.
Yeah the author seems to be approaching their overall argument by first establishing that there's no primary source evidence from the time of castle building that the defense theory is true. He seems to be trying to establish that the argument for it is modern and therefore just as good or bad as any other.

I wish he would delve into things more but it seems reasonable to me to first establish where the defense theory first came from.

I had a different experience with the Economist. I forgot to cancel and was billed. I emailed saying I forgot to cancel, could I unsubscribe now? And got a quick reply saying they'd cancelled and also refunded me despite me not asking.

I recently cancelled again after getting the 1-month renewal warning, and immediately got a 50% off offer, so I'll probably subscribe again.

I had a similarly easy experience with the Guardian a few years ago, based in Europe.
Yes, but why can you still smoke whilst driving (providing it is your car not being used for business)?

> Disagree. Just make it available with a clearly visible note saying it might not be updated, so verify once before using it for emergencies.

> People insist on making simple things too complicated.

Didn't you just make it more complicated here?

By adding a disclaimer? And at the same time presenting possibly outdated information? And requiring people to verify the information with another source?

While deep down knowing very well, that a lot, if not most, will not double check the information, before they end in an emergency?

And also, verifying for accuracy once does nothing, if the information becomes outdated, between verifying and the time of the emergency.

The simplest solution here, was what they actually did. They removed the information that was the source of the confusion.

But Taiwan isn't an independent country. Nobody of note recognises it as such, and heck, they barely claim to be one! It's a vastly complex subject with tons of history, you can't just reduce it to "Taiwan should be called a nation". (they should ideally become an independent nation, but that's besides the point)
There's a tradeoff between coupling and cohesion. All the books and talks are about decoupling because that's the interesting part. The problem is that in poor codebases you find everything has been decoupled and the complexity is a nightmare. As Adele Goldberg said: "“In Smalltalk, everything happens somewhere else.” It's better to have a system where you only decouple where and when you want to because you have decided that paying the cost is worth it.

There is probably a wave of hospitalizations now like every year with the flu. When you average on a year it won't be as bad and won't justify trampling civil liberties.

Clojure: Comparators Guide
I watched the quad stream for a while (thanks for the link!) and what struck me is the desert I saw. Almost no life.

It was around https://goo.gl/maps/iJf6GQVs23hdTLK47 and I expected to see something, anything. I do not know the depth (I could not find it on the details screen) but still.
Get a XiaoMi, unlock it, install LineagoOS, do not install Google apps ("gapps"), use microG if you absolutely need to use apps dependent on Google services but try to use them first without, many work fine even though they insist on needing Google services. Just like all other phones you'll still have the proprietary radio firmware running on your device which could try to snoop on you. If you want to avoid this risk either get one of the "Linux phones" with discrete radio hardware (not integrated into the SoC, only connected through a serial line, no access to main memory or storage) or get a dumb phone with a removable battery.
Biologically inspired cognitive architectures DARPA project
I've been wondering the same and came to this conclusion:

- Existing learning management systems are a mirror (and a victim) of the education system itself, as that's where most of the developers come from: Academic, underfunded and people-focused.

- Academica leads to overflowing complexity. In the whole system, simplicity is punished and complexity is cherished, so you end up with confusing UX.

- Underfunded is pretty self-explanatory

- People-focused is where like in any bureaucracy, nobody really wants to make anyone else replaceable. So instead of with a hard focus on users and learning tracks, you end up with an old system of classes, teachers and students, where of course you have the 10% great teachers that _should_ have run the class for everyone and the 90% that starves their class of any legit info.

From the uni and publisher sides, it's similar, but not completely equal. Both universities and book publishers would never make anything truly great because it would all cannibalize their business.

If you come from the other side and think that the whole learning system is rife for revolution with first-principle thinking, tree-trunk learning and a standard of "Intuition isn't optional" (massive props to https://betterexplained.com/articles/intuition-isnt-optional... ), then you quickly see the other side isn't interested in any fundamental change in their approach (see above for the why).

Furthermore, even if you try, those are the people in charge deciding where their (very tiny) funds go. They will go towards the solution that prioritizes system survival above quality and radical change.

So you see these people rather going towards the content publishers.

For investors, the field is mostly uninteresting for the reasons above, so you don't see any quality invest.

As a parent, I'd love to see someone really cracking edtech, but unfortunately what it would take would be a pretty massive initial investment into a seriously great solution that then proceeds to tackle funding, education system and self-reliance as well. It'd be a philantrophic invest of a few dozen million and then go for a very long road of paying back in small rates.

I'm still up for it, maybe in my next startup :)
Man Moves Blocks Without Machinery, His Own Stone Henge
Linux Desktop Kinda Stinks. How Did We Get Here? [video]
Recently saw this video on YouTube about the current state of some of the Linux desktop environments, which i actually found educational - the person talks about the history of the desktop environments, as well as some of the organizational woes of maintaining and evolving such projects.

Turns out the technical implementation of these environments isn't even half of the story, a lot of oftentimes unseen work goes into integrating them with distros, which can cause problems when the people behind the projects have differing views in regards to where they should go.

Now, i might not find all of what he says agreeable or even relevant to me (since i tend to just use XFCE), but maybe someone else would appreciate his take, or like to discuss this a bit more.
Aviation won’t be using LH2. The volume required makes it not feasible. Not to mention the cooling requirements. Look at the volumetric energy density of it compared to other fuels.
> It’s more than human experts apply a posteriori the tools they typically use to analyse chess games to games play by AlphaZero.

I largely agree with this and I was about to make the same point before reading your comment. However, as GP said upthread:

> This paper builds on that concept and finds that not only are a superhuman AI's moves usually understandable by experts, but even some of the superhuman AI's internal representations are understandable by experts (!).

Internal structures mapping to concepts high level players already use is a good indicator that the AI is "thinking" about chess in the same way as humans do.
Pretty sure there was a US study that said most billionaire are first generation.
As a user, all the cloud services errors seem to do is generate a huge internal debugging string that I can't find by googling. My university's MS administrators have outright told me that they are useless. Why can't I authenticate to this service? Why do I get "Sorry, something went wrong" – they don't know. The error comes and goes periodically. It's infuriating.

As the other poster said, error codes made a lot of sense when bytes were expensive (you could fit 255 kinds of fail in a single one!). Bytes are no longer expensive. Brain time is more expensive now. Optimise for that – and be descriptive.
I wonder if you just asked 1000 people to draw a spiral without any other context, would there be some handedness/chirality to the drawings? My guess is there would be.
