It's interesting to see comments of the nature of "Google doesn't have the killer instinct that Uber does."

This is a fight over the businesses of logistics and transportation in general, and on a global scale. You can expect Amazon to join the fight. This is not limited to driving people across town, and winning is vastly more valuable. Nobody is going to hold back.

> For my Masters degree project at uni I had a demo written in OpenGL with over 500 dynamic lights, running at 60fps on a GTX580. Without Mantle, or DX12. How? Deffered rendering, that's how.

Indeed. For fixed function forward rendering you do have those limitations, though. However it's nowhere as low as 4: you can expect at least 8 and most often 16 lights. The catch is that DirectX 12 will do nothing for that limitation.

At the end of the day all that this comes down to is decreasing the cost of one thing:

Draw()

Which has immense amounts of CPU overhead due to abstractions. Anything else DX12 might do is really just a bonus.

> Companies even donate money to charity, without any concern for short term profits.

"Donating money" is not an indicator of "morality" at all, because it has tax and PR advantages.

It's not about doing or not doing it, but they fact that business are complex, and this specific choice doesn't tell anything in general.

Even a, let's say, a fictional company "Momsanto", which corrupts politicians and violently silences researchers and farmers, surely would have a (again, fictional) foundation for "making difference in someone else's life" [any resemblance to real companies is purely coincidental].
Uber Chases Google in Self-Driving Cars with Carnegie Mellon Deal
I'm not opposed to it, but the brilliance of the German solution is to notice that full worker control is unnecessary.

The workers don't need communism or full cooperatives. You can still have private owners and a profit motive. But the workers have to be equal to the owners, not subordinate.
I would love to see even small examples of this.

by doing things like get us the 8 hour working day

How do you figure? To me it seems that most of the union jobs were simply automated away, moved to third world countries, or heavily supplemented with illegal immigrant labour. None of those arrangements maintain an 8 hour working day limit.

The remaining positions are generally high-skill or based on independent contractors. No wonder they command higher wages and have better working conditions.

Unions rode the tide of technology and globalization but didn't actually cause it.
I agree with this so much, waking up early starts the day of on a productive note, and you keep going. Also it clears your mind before you start coding, helped me figure out a lot of problems I couldn't get the night before.

Yep, but the point is about running real Debian, not any Debian-derived distributions like Raspbian that have been rebuilt for ARMv6.

With the old Pi it was not possible because the CPU only supported the ARMv6 instruction set, while mainstream distributions (Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, etc.) all require ARMv7.

Fortunately the just released Pi 2 sports Cortex-A7 Cores which use the ARMv7 instruction set, which made this possible without any full rebuild.
There actually was this kind of system in Sweden in the 80s. Of course it was very unpopular with the right and was abolished as soon as they got into power. Since then, like in most of the western world, the productivity gains has to a large extent favored owners rather than employees.

> Minimum wage in those countries could be increased (or one created and enforced) so that there is a dramatic improvement on the workers lives without much of an impact on the end consumer.

I think it makes sense to ask ourselves: why did a Western company move production from the West to this country in the first place? Probably because of lower wages.

Increasing the minimum wage is not a solution if the reason these workers have a job in the first place is that their labor is cheap.
Ah. I'd missed that point.

If it's possible to escalate privileges, then that's the place that needs fixing.

Honestly, I don't think we should leave it to the occasional individual to do something about it. If we want to stop this, we should ban the import of products that do not meet our own labour standards.

We have reasonable work weeks and healthy working conditions because we fought against that exploitation. But instead of stopping it, we ended up merely exporting it; we don't make our stuff here anymore, but it's made in other countries where the conditions we had in the 19th century are still legal.

If we demand the same humane conditions from imported products as we do for locally manufactured goods, then either they get better working conditions, or we get some of those lost jobs back. Probably a bit of both. Either way, everybody wins. (Except that stuff gets a bit more expensive, but that's unavoidable when you start paying a fair price.)

Definitely agree with this. I got Face Detection using OpenCV on a 320x300 video stream to work at about 2fps (e.g. two detection cycles per second) on the B+ over-clocked to 1Ghz so hopefully the Rpi2 will be a substantial improvement on this.

I was using it the context of controlling the "eye" of a wheeled robot so both the eye and the robot could follow faces. 2FPS was workable on this but 320x300 didn't give it much of a field of view.

We do not abstract the hardware at all. Resin's job is to get your code running on the devices, and ensuring it keeps running well. If you want to use devices with underlying hardware differences, you can either make separate resin apps and maintain separate code branches for each type, or use some library that will abstract the different devices for you.

we do abstract networking control as resin is dependent on the network to keep operating, but the application can take control (and responsibility) of networking if needed.
I wasn't thinking of pulling the layer 1 up into the AP. But I don't know... do you have such requirements anymore? You have real time requirements for voice calls in 2G/3G hard handover. If you treat everything as if it were a vertical handover, I think you can even wash that requirement out. And you can fudge the perceived voice call continuity.
Sure, but the reality is, the serious ramifications happen for these new pieces of technology. Ridiculous as it seems now, the launch of the automobile was accompanied by "red flag laws" mandating that cars were lead by a flag-waving pedestrian, and even today there are product recalls involving millions of cars for alleged "unintended acceleration" induced by a basic mechanical lever.

Throw in the fact that Uber, whose relationship with lawmakers is best described as "it's complicated", is about the last company you'd want to be leading lobbying efforts to allow unmanned self-driving cars on city streets, and it's a fair bet they're not expecting their self-driving cars to be anything more than valuable IP at the time they exit.
I'm surprised to discover how useful I found this -- being able to compare roughly 'apples to apples' in an app was very helpful. Thank you for your efforts!
That's because people are still cheaper than robots. This won't last forever if current trends continue.

> What makes things worse (at least short term) it's automation. In 10 years robots will do this kind of job.

The problem isn't automation, it's that our economy is designed to make automation a bad thing. In a better system, automation would give us higher productivity and more free time. But we designed our system so that free time is a bad thing unless you're rich. People need jobs to eat, so there has to be enough work, so anything that reduces the amount of work, threatens people's livelihood.

That's the problem of our society in a nutshell. The gains of automation only go to the people at the top. They should be going to the people at the bottom.
Brands do carry a premium (eg: soft-drinks, luxury goods), but not in this case. Here the brand value is overshadowed by utility: access, comfort, and pricing.
I have yet to see a convincing argument that prohibiting rate-limiting will increase competition among ISP providers.

Further, I think it's fairly obvious what I think of our government's likelihood to get any regulation regarding ISPs right. I prefer to limit the surface area of potential mistakes.

Finally, I haven't seen evidence of significant rate-limiting in areas with multiple ISPs. If this is the case, then increased competition on its own gets us both what we see as the ideal solution, whereas making rate-limiting illegal only gets you part of the way to what you want.

I am using personal pronouns conversationally, not in belief that you and I are the only people with either of these positions.

Are you able to provide a rough summary of how the quantities of these materials compare with the quantities available on earth?

It wasn't that long ago that humans spoke about things like the number of fish in the sea, the ability of the earth's atmosphere to absorb waste gases etc as being effectively infinite until we eventually discovered that this was unfortunately not true. It is just something that pops into my head whenever the word unlimited, infinite or limitless get used when talking about energy, resources and so on.

There's also a whole mess of HUGE conflicts of interest and moral dilemmas with the issue of taking a private company's tax dollars, and using those tax dollars to develop and sell a competing product, which would then presumably reduce the revenue (and thus tax revenue) of the private company.
Big companies don't all set out to ruin the world just to make money, but companies don't set business practices, Moloch does[0]. Those that don't sufficiently optimize for profit get replaced by ones that do, so in the end you have a drive towards ruining the world.

Sublime Text last released on July 8 2013; Vim's last release was on August 10 2013. So.... I guess I can see your point?

As for open sourcing it: if you have barely enough time to work on a codebase yourself, it seems unlikely that becoming the co-ordinator of an open source project is a reduction in the amount of effort you have to make. And poorly-run open source projects don't generally have a fast release cycle.

How does stratifiedjs work under the hood? Does it switch out the stack?
I'm a co-owner of a small software business, so in a very similar situation to the Sublime Text developer (with the exception that my product is much less successful). I went and looked at the linked-to list of builds. There's a bit of a gap from December 2013 to May 2014. But then there's a release every couple of months.

I know that in the past the builds have been fast and furious, but, honestly, I don't see any reason to have a new build more than every couple of months. More than that and it wastes my time; I suspect the ST developer has learned that more frequent builds waste his time as well.

Sublime Text is fast, powerful, intuitive, and--the killer feature for me--cross-platform. It's well worth the money to me now, regardless of its long-term future (in the long run, we're all dead). While development has been sporadic, at least it seems like the developer has not succumbed to the Moby Dick/Second System effect, so that's a plus. It would be great in the long run (i.e., when the developer tires of full-time work) if it were open source, but it's nigh-impossible to support oneself with open source applications, so it seems healthier now for it to be a proprietary app.

How the hell is a "really basic" Linux distro 3G in size? To me, a "really basic" Linux install, particularly one which is just capable of providing a prompt, should come in at less than 1/10th of that size: Kernel & modules, basic shared libraries, standard linux command line tools... what else?

For comparison, my ubuntu VM is under 1.5G, and that's not been a "really basic" install even when it was first created.

[EDIT] Thanks, it's the whole disk partition image, not the distro itself.
I think we'll just have to disagree on the actual import of rate-limiting. I do agree that competition is very important.

What I'll leave it with is this: prohibiting rate-limiting at best does nothing to increase competition among ISPs (I have not seen any arguments against this), whereas rate-limiting behavior is something I've never seen in a market with multiple viable ISP choices (by which I mean that dialup and satellite are not close enough to broadband to count). As I started this entire thread with, rate-limiting seems like a red herring.
