Nestle CEO: Water Is Not A Human Right, Should Be Privatized
I think we have quite some experience with insuring unsupervised systems. After all, I am not supposed to supervise my coffee machine, but if it causes a fire then my insurance has to pay.

On the other hand, I think that the politics of self driving cars could get rather interesting, especially if widespread adoption is fast, say 5 years until a self driving car is no longer extraordinary and 10 years until one just assumes that a new car is self driving. Then I think we get a initial phase, were they are seen as modern. After this, when every single accident gets widely reported, I think it is possible that the public completely splits, on one hand the traditionalists, who maintain that only a human should drive. And on the other hand the people who say that self driving cars are safer than humans. And the laws will shift according to the relative strength of the two groups. ( With probably some rather ridiculous political compromises in between, perhaps you are allowed to read a newspaper, but not to drink coffee. )
If you're within the terms of the license, you're fine. The developer should say so in the license (or choose another license) if they don't want it reproduced anywhere. A link to the original is common courtesy, however.

In the case of the C compiler, I think the modifications are under the same license as the original, but I'm not totally certain. If they aren't it would be cause for concern.
One of mine had a road sign with a city name in Finish. That one was easy. :)
Thanks for the reply. I don't mind scifi too much, but let's hope that the movies aren't skewed too far that way.

Besides, a list of 'exceptional' scifi movies won't necessarily be a bad thing I hope :-)

Ha-ha, I've got an issue asking to add some notes about conflict with oh-my-zsh alias. :) I hastily suggested `gp`, but it's already taken by same plugin, so I changed it to `gor` there, thanks for idea.
I can't disagree more! Everything is an int -- Basically untyped, in C terms! Maybe less noisy, but hard to figure out what's going on.
One thing not mentioned was the excessive use of fixed elements that would have probably been rendered as frames back in 1999. They're not exactly the same, but most of the usage for fixed elements is replicating what a designer or developer would have used frames for, such as affixing a menu to stick to a certain area of the page no matter where the user scrolls.

Edit: Also modal popup windows everywhere, even where they aren't really needed (Twitter and the Chrome Extension Web Store are 2 that are questionable) instead of those js popup windows we used to see as browsers tend to block those. Maybe it's just me, but when you get to the point of having to put an entire page's content into a modal window, maybe it should be a separate page.
I guess it's by not adding insults at the end?

So they're basically saying the same things that EA said for Sim City, and which, for Sim City, turned out to be a sack of lies (almost none of the game logic runs on EAs servers and it'd be entirely pointless if it did because SC requires a beefy machine anyway). OnLive, on the other hand, has been doing it properly for a while now, with some, but less than stellar success. Microsoft is in a much better position to deliver on the premise than either of these, but I remain unconvinced.

The basic question is, is it more efficient and overall cheaper to have #(max. concurrent clients) times the hardware running in a hosted (remote) environment than having #(all clients) times the hardware running locally. Clearly #(max. concurrent clients) is much lower than #(all clients). MS, as the owner of the platform is in a pretty good position of balancing between thin and thick client and forcing developers to work within this model, ie. making the client thin (read: cheap) enough that critical calculations need to be done on the server but thick enough to run some latency critical stuff and probably some of the rendering on the client.
Like Amber, TypeScript, F#, ....
I am very curious about the use of a stripped down VM manager that creates and destroys multiple OSes.

"One of the machine’s operating systems boots up and is “created” when the machine turns on, Multerer said. Then it stays operating while the machine is on, and then disappears when the machine is turned off."

"There’s a third operating system as well that handles other kinds of services, such as the TV services. Switching between these operating systems quickly gives the system its instantaneous feel, Multerer said."

It isn't immediately obvious to me why we would want to use multiple operating systems? Is this a kind of super strong separation of processes? Why aren't standard processes sufficient? Is it done for reliability?

I am not criticising, I am just confused and this indicates that there are concerns here that I am not familiar with. Anyone with any insights?
Well you see... It's in Python, which breaks the deal for me (I despise slow startup). But interactive mode sounds interesting, that's something I'll consider implementing.
No. Adding "potential" to the title would be okay and probably a little bit better than it is now.
find ~/my/docs/ -type f -name '*.txt' -exec sed -i.bak 's/inheritance/composition/g' {} +

This will search all files ending in `.txt` and will exec `sed 's/inheritance/composition/g'` on it. Sed modifies files in-place and saves a backup file with .bak extension (-i.bak) and is called the minimum necessary times (-exec +).

My best advice to someone using the command line is to learn `find` + `xargs` or, even better, `find` + `parallel`.
One data point yields no information.
Don't know Finnish, but words and expressions change meaning by context, not to mention the tone used in spoken language, which often gets lost in written words, that's probably how.

It's interesting to think of differences between languages and how that influences culture.

For instance in Chinese the verbs themselves do not change to express tense. Expressing tense, for example "I will do that", is made by usage of adverbs or putting the words in the proper context. Asian cultures apparently have a preference towards living in the present, probably more than any other cultures. Think Buddhism.
that was pure luck. guessing the continent is fairly easy. guessing the country is a little bit tricky. But guessing a point in a 100 km diameter is pure luck :)

And to us who are used to video games, it's kind of dumb to pay money to some other player for an item when I could go out, find the right dungeon or whatever, and earn a fresh one myself. That, or just deliberately cheat/hack the game to fix the reward of my next random drop.
The thing that makes me think of taxis is the the driver cost/total cost ratio is high, so removing the driver is a big deal.

Buses and long haul trucks are already pretty highly optimized in that the driver's time is a relatively smaller component of the total cost. Also, the total cost is much lower.

This article seems so bias it is almost information-free. One part:

"In a video interview, Nestle Chairman Peter Brabeck-Letmathe states that there has never been ‘one illness’ ever caused from the consumption of GMOs."

The article implies that this is a terrible thing to have said.. is it? Sounds a perfectly reasonable, and also possibly true statement.
These sorts of words can be highly localised. There was an Australian TV show called "Spicks and Specks" (named after a Bee Gees song), and Apple wouldn't let them put an app of the same name in their App Store because it's apparently offensive in the US.

If my SimCity simulation needs more than a quad i7 to simulate, how many high-CPU instances is that? How many to handle every connected user? Even EA's current SimCity instances on EC2 can't handle basic save operations.
I had that same opinion in 2003.

If you're the only user on your box, you can just create ~/bin and some distributions will automatically add it to your personal PATH. That way you don't lose track of what you've copied into /usr/bin, leaving it to be maintained by packages.

No, you're getting it wrong. It's not a matter of availability (although that is still a problem in certain areas). I just don't want my console to need connection if I don't play online, because it shouldn't need it, because it's a waste of bandwith, because it means that the software I buy may become unusable (or change their behaviour, i.e. not allowing cheating for fun in single player; or requiring some kind of game registration that hinders second hand games) via mandatory updates, and because it doesn't guarantee that the box is not being used as a surveillance machine for advertising companies.
A qualification process is very different from a hiring process. You only pass through engineering exams, the bar exam, or medical residency once. In your life. A coder will probably go through a dozen different hiring rounds over their career, assuming each hiring round actually leads to a long-term job.
Nice! svn support would be useful (ignore .svn directories) and the -r option is easy to remember, but perhaps not so much in line with the already messy standard Unix options (-r or -R for recursive operation).

Note that specifically for Go source code, there is "go fix -r" for syntax/context-aware code replacement (see "godoc fix").

Here's an example, somewhat ordered by increasing politeness:

Do this => Tee näin

Can you do this => Voitko tehdä näin

Could you do this => Voisitko tehdä näin

Would you kindly do this => Olisitko ystävällinen ja tekisit näin

A too literal translation of the last would be: Could you be friendly and do this. "Would you do this, please?" I think would work in English, with approximately same politeness level.
You can ask for things politely in Finnish but you can't translate that into English.

Instead of adding superfluous words like "please" to the end of the sentence, in Finnish you conjugate the verb of the sentence to a "polite form" to indicate the intent. There's a dozen different forms to use, e.g. "imperative" to indicate that something must be done or "potential" to indicate that something might probably happen.
That is why you must contribute what they deserve and nothing extra.
Add flat UI to the list. The only thing that's saving it is better typography and better sense of spacing (since designers are more involved now).

It's a step back in terms of usability as well. In flat UI, clickable and unclickable often look the same and several other problems.
Pulse detection doesn't need HD - it can work with fairly cheap sensors.
So Armin what did not come across from your blog post is how you feel about Python 3.

Until now you have been seen as one of the people holding out strongly against it. Where are you at now? Are you going to move to Python 3?

What's the future for Jinja2 now? Are you enthused about maintaining it? If it's headed for the deadpool please let us know as we can move to technologies that are going to have a future.

What the future for Flask?

That's not much. ES6, TypeScript, DOMFutures, FunctionFuture, asm.js, WebComponents, jQuery, r.js, node.js bring most of these features to JS. Not as slick and with some legacy warts, but it's good enough to make Dart merely an incremental improvement rather than a revolution.

It's very disappointing that the first serious attempt to replace JS after almost 20 years is merely just another Java-syntax-like JIT-compiled single-threaded dynamically-typed garbage-collected language with global, shared mutable state. It's fundamentally the same language merely with some pet peeves removed and a bit of sugar on top. It's a waste of opportunity.
I can see why this could become dangerous, but the IPA would actually make it appear surprisingly robust. Twitter have to have the inventor's permission to use the patents offensively, so a huge war chest that basically acts like a patent pool for a lot of people isn't actually a threat to those outside of it unless all their inventors decide to allow patent trolling. They also couldn't transfer them to a patent holding company to do that because the IPA holds even if the patent is sold.

There are of course issues, but the idea proposed could actually be a major turning point here. A patent pool that can only be used defensively is a very interesting idea.
Maybe it separates the development teams in a way that they didn't have to rely on the whole potato being literally integrated. Microsoft, like many huge companies, is known to be hyper territorial. With the computational resources available, this might have been both a pragmatic and easy choice. Each group perhaps wouldn't have to be so careful about crashing the rest of the system, and it might make it easier to develop and update each segment individually.

This might also make it easier to rip pieces off later, or add large pieces later, without needing to do a comprehensive integration across the Xbox One system, while keeping everything in its own sandbox.
He's been living in the US for 16 years, so thats not a valid excuse. Also, there's a difference between not saying please and being vulgar. I don't think you can dismiss this as merely a cultural issue.

Sure, but I wanted to remark that it still probably requires him a conscious effort to be polite and to not sound like an asshole to a naturally polite american. Something he often forgets when there's more important business to worry about. The word "please" was an exaggerated example, but if you'd hear two finns politely disagreeing with each other you would probably call it "vulgar" or even think that they hate each other.

And besides, it's not exclusively american people he deals with. He probably gets along fine with e.g. Russians who have a culture that is more similar to his own.

Ah, that's similar to what we do in Greek. We have a word for "please", but very rarely use it. Instead, it also goes "do this", "do this for a bit" (it's a sort of colloquial "do me a favour"), "can you do this", "could you do this", "could you please do this"?

That was an interesting fact about Finnish. Also, in England, it goes "Do this", "Could you please do this", with omission of the "please" considered rather rude :P
