The normal glasses I wear now for either my vision correction or as sunglasses have the tech with no added size or shape or noticeable by anyone else change to the lenses. Basically smart glasses that look like our normal glasses.
Augmented reality will be awesome . . . but remember how Palm Pilot was around for a fifteen years and just never made it huge (never reached everyone's hands) and then Apple killed Palm with the release of the iPhone in '07?
Google Glass will likely be like Palm. It will sit around for a decade or more before other break-thrus in the industry will allow someone to make it so every pair of glasses or sunglasses sold will be smart glasses.
Education is extremely important. Colleges are nothing more than a place to be educated. However, Colleges have huge problems:
1. Too dependent on lecture. Lecture is one of the least effective methods of education. 2. Extremely expensive. With today's technology a 3 credit hour class could be taught effectively with a visual, auditory, active learning experience created one time with very low cost, making learning basically free. 3. Free speech is enforced, unless the religious participate in free speech, then free speech is stifled. Free speech doesn't exclude religious speech. Other than a few zealots who are anti-science (they are entitled to their points of view) both science and religion have a place and both should be taught. For example, evolution is an unproven theory. We teach it despite not have proof of it. 4. Rape culture. Beer pong, fraternities, etc. 5. Slow teaching, similar to #1, but the human brain can learn a lot fast. We have the technology. With better educational methods, we could learn as much in 1 year as we do in 4 years of college. 6. Nearly complete departure from apprenticeships, one of the more effective and speedy forms of training. Thank goodness electricians are still apprenticeships. Could you imagine how bad colleges would bungle that skill?
The good of colleges: 1. Bringing those who wish to learn together. 2. Sharing knowledge with others. 3. Sharing opinions with others. 4. Thesis and the search for new undiscovered knowledge. 5. Sports - learn to accept winning and losing
Depends on your definition of "wealth creation" I guess. Sure you can get 8-10% on some relatively safe tracking funds, but that's not exactly going to bring you into the realm of the elite
If you are calling Bill Gates elite, than no, you won't get there. But if you are calling a millionaire elite, then yes, it will.
Yes, it will, if you continue to invest. It compounds. 8% of 100 leaves you with 108%, right? Yes. But that isn't the only factor. Set $100 to go into the account per paycheck, (two paychecks per month) and don't live outside your means, and you will have $2400 you put in in a given year. The first 100 of that will get you $8. The second $100 gets you 23/24ths of $8 by the end of the year and so on.
Don't tell me most people can't afford $100 a paycheck because I see them paying more than that on unnecessary items (Cable TV, new Cell-Phones with costly plans, eating out, etc.). Most people are stupid. Instead of building their nest egg they are spending it on frivolous things.
The next year, you get a 3% raise. You increase your 100 a paycheck to $103. The following year you increase by another 3% and so on.
From age 18 to 65. That is 47 years. Do the math, compound the interest and you will see how much you have by saving and investing when you turn 65. http://www.thecalculatorsite.c...
You will have $1,824,827.31. But it should be noted that if you don't touch the base and only use your interest, you can retire on making $150K a year. Sure, in 65 years, that will be like $30K a year now.
If you make an additional contribution each year, say $1000, from a bonus or a tax return, you will have even more, 2.7 million or so and living on 220K a year. So when they die, they still have 2.7 million. Plus a paid off house which with inflation is probably worth 30 years * 220k, or 6.6 million.
Now imagine a family with three kids. They split the 2.7 million (2 million after taxes) and the house (another 4 million after taxes) and on death each kid gets $2 million when their parents die. Of course those kids are almost 65 now and have their own nest eggs themselves, and they get to add 2 million to that.
Cracking your back and neck isn't anecdotal. It is almost as common as eating. Almost everyone, nearly 100% of human beings, crack their own backs or necks back into place. A huge percentage do it daily.
Sometimes we can't adjust our bones ourselves, however. A person's bones aren't aligned for whatever reason. Maybe we pulled them out lifting something. We got in a car accident. We fell and landed weird.
Putting the bones back in place is not bullshit. If a bone breaks, we put it back into place. If we don't it heals in the wrong place and is misshapen for life. The muscles and tendons around this can also be altered for life.
Sometimes bones get out of place without breaking, usually at a joint. Because the bones are out of place, joints can rub, muscles can get tight, tendons can be stretched, causing pain. If left in the wrong place, muscles and joints can heal in the wrong place and be altered.
Now, stating that: "Claiming that putting the bones back in place can cure cancer is bullshit" is something I can agree with. However, I will concede that overall health of a person contributes to a person's risk of cancer and having bones in proper position is part of overall health. But any additional correlation should be treated as a fraudulent claim.
Look, python is a hybrid of a scripting language and a programming language. It is a scripting language first. No scripting language has ever become highly used and stayed highly used except one. Javascript.
Why? Not because it is an awesome scripting language. JavaScript is about the worst language out there. Javascript is only popular because it happens to have a monopoly. There is no other option for coding in the browser today. Even TypeScript compiles to JavaScript.
However, that is about to change. With WebAssembly, JavaScript will no longer have a monopoly and you will see TypeScript compile to WebAssembly instead of JavaScript, then you will see Java and C# and other languages soon be able to compile to JavaScript. Even Silverlight could make a return by compiling to WebAssembly. By I digress, this isn't about JavaScript.
The top programming language is Java. It won the Android App market. The next are C#, PHP, and C/C++ (not really in that order, just as a group). Python, Ruby, etc, isn't even in the ballpark. In Enterprise, the top two options Java and C#.
But Tiobe says python is getting huge? OK. Tiobe's algorithm is quite complex, but that doesn't mean it isn't extremely naive.
Java, C#, PHP, and others have very advanced documentation. Also, they have tools that help developers get word done with less Google searches. For example, Java and C# users Google search far less that devs for other languages. For example, the initial search might be on Google but from then on, the search is on MSDN or we are browsing the docs. Also Visual Studio's tools and add-ons allow for looking at a library, its methods, and what it does without a google search. Some VS tools will decompile dlls, so we don't even need to google what a library does, we just read it. Also, NuGet packages are searched for in Visual Studio.
Python only the other hand, is primary being used in academia, especially by students in their early college years. The early college years are the highest peak of google searching a language will get. That makes its supposed popularity extremely skewed. It only looks popular because it used by new students that have to Google search for every little step. Also, the tooling for python is sub par, which causes more google searches than Java or C#.
Also, WordPress alone leads to more PHP development than Python will ever see.
As soon as Academia moves on from it's current favorite language, and Academia always moves on, Python's inflated hype will be long forgotten.
Are you kidding. Things are way cooler now!!!!!!!!!
Programming Languages: Way faster-to-code languages like C#, Java. Programming Frameworks: So much more boilerplate code is already written for you so you can build bigger stuff.

IoT: Smart Homes, and so much more. Social Media: Facebook, Twitter, Gaming Systems, blogs, forums, etc.
Need I go on.
The world of computing is so much more awesome than it was when my family got our first Adam computer in 1980-something that ran on casset tapes.
Look, movie makers have the right to put whatever they want into a movie. Viewers have the right to only allow certain portions of a movie into their home. Vid Angel is providing a service that joins those two features. It allows personal choice censorship, as opposed to government mandated censorship. It increases sales of content that some groups otherwise would not purchase. The movie companies make great movies.
My preference is that Vid Angel shouldn't have to exist.
The DVD/Stream technology exists to provide a movie in such a way that each DVD/Stream could have a PG, PG-13, or R option, or even far more granular options. In fact, it is freaking easy to develop.
It is time for Movie companies to meet the demand themselves and start doing this. If the Movie companies don't meet this demand, then they can shut-up and get out of the way of the companies who do.
Tim Cook steps up to the platform and announces: Great desktops are coming," he crosses his fingers behind his back and thinks, "They are called the Microsoft Surface Pro and clones of such. Oh, you meant great Mac desktops. Well . . . Apple's OS X can't even support touch input yet, so, uh, we are trying to decide whether to 1) move forward with IOS as our new desktop OS, in which case it will be six to ten years before our desktop/laptop OS reaches stability for applications as opposed to apps Or 2) invest two to four years in implementing touch events into our OS X operating system, at which point phones and tablets can run full blown desktop OSes so we will be left to wonder why we have two operating systems, then release a great desktop; Or 3) just focus on mobile and hope mobile kills the desktop/laptop.
Let's go with 3, but I better give lip service to Mac lovers for a few years.
He tells a few more lies. Then Tim Cook leaves the platform and wonders how long it will take before everyone realizes he is doing nothing for Apple and has been floundering since the death of Steve Jobs.
While reading the article, I thought. This first comment has to be the quote from Back 2 the Future. Then I scrolled down. Thank you for not letting me down!
I think that the medications are great for those who need it. For them the meds are great and sometimes life changing.
However, I think there is a large portion who are prescribed such medicine that really need to be prescribed nothing more than a healthier diet and at least 10 minutes of sun a day or try to get more than 4 hours a sleep a night. Try 8 hours for a few weeks.. Or perhaps need to be simply told that five 64oz soft drinks a day is not good for you. DUH!
And don't get me started on giving kids drugs simply because a kid has a lot of energy . . .
Remember when the Palm was going to revolutionize the worlds. Then it didn't. Except it did, just not as a Palm device, but as the Smart Phone which is a Palm + Phone + Touch Screen + Wifi.
There was not 3g/4g when Palm came out. There weren't great touch screens. Processors sucked. How Palm failed to be the first Smart Phone baffles me to this day.
Similarly, MakerBot and Dremmel and others are around. You can print stuff. The database is growing. But the big money savers are in parts and for parts you need companies to buy in. They need to start manufacturing using 3D printers so they can export their parts in 3D. You buy the model instead of the part. #1. Appliance companies #2. Car companies - For plastic Car parts
Next, you need to decrease printing time. 16 hours for a descent print isn't fast enough.
Also, we need printers that don't only use plastic.
Where is the metal printer that can print me a new car part that is metal? Where is the printer that can print me custom chrome wheels? Where is the printer that can just consume dirt (earth, silica, etc), and print bricks I can build a house with? So I can build house structures with less material cost. Where is the printer that can print glass? Then I can print homes for the homeless. I can print glass green house in the Sahara desert and plant food there protected from the sand storms. I can also print homes and green houses on the Moon and Mars without sending people up there.
3D printing *is* revolutionary technology. Now that we *can* do it, we need get to where we can do it usefully.
This seems like an "illegal search and seizure" to me. You need evidence an individual has done wrong to get that individuals history.
If you have no evidence of wrong doing be an individual or the company, you should not get a warrant for the company's data on that individual.
This is equivalent to saying: We found evidence of murder in two poeple's homes, so we are requesting all the homes in this city to be opened up for search.
This judge should be fired and fined for failure to follow the constitution.
This isn't such a bad solution for some developers. It is basically the same thing WINE attempted to do. Run Linux but still run Windows, only in reverse.
Imagine you work for a company that provides you a Windows machine, and you have to be the one to switch it to Linux all the time. You mostly code on Linux and the business systems run on Linux. However, you constantly have to load up that Windows VM for all the Windows-required functionality your company has. This is real and common. Examples: 1) legacy system only works on Windows. 2) you have a Power Point that looks terrible in open/libre office so you have to open it in actual Power Point. 3) Your VPN solution only works on Windows (according to IT) and you have to hack together a solution on Linux and every time they change a settings, you have to spend hours debugging your VPN cause IT doesn't support VPN from Linux. 4. There are thousands of windows only applications that business run. Some of the main ones are going away but more Windows only business apps are written every day.
So if you have to run Windows and Linux already, and Windows 10 now has a Linux subsystem, I could see the benefit of using one OS.
But there are non-technical reasons Linux users won't run Linux. 1. Religious-like zeal for Linux 2. Hate, spite, lack of trust, for all things Microsoft (a lot of which has been duly earned) 3. Privacy concerns, both real and imagined 4. Security concerns, both real and imagined and/or less targeted 5. etc...
On the one hand, I am against hate speech. On the other hand, I am for freedom of speech.
Does fighting hate speech warrant a limitation to one's freedom of speech? No, it does not.
Fortunately, this is Twitter, not the US Government. While free speech is in the first amendment, there is nothing that I know of in the US Constitution or derivitvie laws that says that a social media business has to allow free speech on its platform. Blocking someone from Twitter does not block them from speaking out in other ways: verbally, self-publish their own web site or book, etc...
Also, while there is freedom of speech, there is not freedom from the social consequences of speech.
Look, most Presidents have very little to do with the economy and how America is doing. For example, the PC boom in the early 90s and Internet boom throughout the 90s made President Bill Clinton look good. The economy was humming, so he got to spend his time "doing" other things.
The DotCom crash happened in 1999. The economy was hit but would have survived if not for the second crash that occurred after 9/11. Clinton was a terrible president who gets all the accolades of a great economy that are undeserved. If anything, he was too busy dealing with his extramarital sex life to have any clue what was happening with the DotCom world.
Bush Jr. was also a terrible President but he looks way worse than Clinton because both 9/11 and the housing bubble happened during his years in office. Neither were his fault. But hey, he was in office, so blame him.
In reality, Trump has to work with the balance of powers. Usually a president can't do too much damage.
Similarly, Obama came after the housing crash and there was nowhere to go but up and he was just in time to catch the mobile market and the Cloud markets that are booming and driving the booming economy. He passed Obamacare, which had a very low approval rating. Forcing a bill down the people throat when the majority vote against it is not a good thing. However, trying to help everyone have health care is a good thing. So who knows if we good or bad. Usually, it is hard to tell if a President was good or bad until about 20 years after they leave office.
Trump could be in for a shock if the mobile and cloud tech bubbles pop. The economy could tank and there is nothing he or anyone else can do about it.
When it comes to the economy, the President has less power, than Apple, Microsoft, Walmart, NetFlix, etc...
That is a huge problem. The Mac Book Pro is supposed to compete in the Hybrid market. Unfortunately is doesn't compete, at all. Not that Microsoft cares. Apple is just another hardware vendor that requires an Windows license, even it is run in a VM.
Every MAC users in most businesses has to have a Windows VM. There are rare cases where some people don't have a Windows license running in a VM on their MAC, but those are rare cases.
Surface Pro 3 owner. I think it is the best computer on the market. Touch screen is phenomenal.
Yes, Microsoft makes hardware, now, but really,
- first, if you compare it by hybrid devices running Windows vs Hybrid devices running OS X, instead of comparing by each manufacturers separate hardware, the numbers show how minuscule Apple sales really are. It is great for their company, and quite profitable, but don't confuse that with a significant market share.
- Second, their Mac Book Pro isn't even a true hybrid cause it has no touch screen -- no the touch bar doesn't count as a touch screen. It is just a laptop. So it really need to compared to laptop sales, not hybrid sales.

This isn't such a bad solution for some developers. It is basically the same thing WINE attempted to do. Run Linux but still run Windows, only in reverse.
Imagine you work for a company that provides you a Windows machine, and you have to be the one to switch it to Linux all the time. You mostly code on Linux and the business systems run on Linux. However, you constantly have to load up that Windows VM for all the Windows-required functionality your company has. This is real and common. Examples: 1) legacy system only works on Windows. 2) you have a Power Point that looks terrible in open/libre office so you have to open it in actual Power Point. 3) Your VPN solution only works on Windows (according to IT) and you have to hack together a solution on Linux and every time they change a settings, you have to spend hours debugging your VPN cause IT doesn't support VPN from Linux. 4. There are thousands of windows only applications that business run. Some of the main ones are going away but more Windows only business apps are written every day.
So if you have to run Windows and Linux already, and Windows 10 now has a Linux subsystem, I could see the benefit of using one OS.
But there are non-technical reasons Linux users won't run Linux.
1. Religious-like zeal for Linux
2. Hate, spite, lack of trust, for all things Microsoft (a lot of which has been duly earned)
3. Privacy concerns, both real and imagined
4. Security concerns, both real and imagined and/or less targeted
5. etc...
I live in the US.
On the one hand, I am against hate speech.
On the other hand, I am for freedom of speech.
Does fighting hate speech warrant a limitation to one's freedom of speech? No, it does not.
Fortunately, this is Twitter, not the US Government. While free speech is in the first amendment, there is nothing that I know of in the US Constitution or derivitvie laws that says that a social media business has to allow free speech on its platform. Blocking someone from Twitter does not block them from speaking out in other ways: verbally, self-publish their own web site or book, etc...
Also, while there is freedom of speech, there is not freedom from the social consequences of speech.
If you think the reasons have disappeared you are out of touch with one side or the other, likely rural America.
The reasons still exist and are still valid today.
Yes.
Look, most Presidents have very little to do with the economy and how America is doing. For example, the PC boom in the early 90s and Internet boom throughout the 90s made President Bill Clinton look good. The economy was humming, so he got to spend his time "doing" other things.
The DotCom crash happened in 1999. The economy was hit but would have survived if not for the second crash that occurred after 9/11. Clinton was a terrible president who gets all the accolades of a great economy that are undeserved. If anything, he was too busy dealing with his extramarital sex life to have any clue what was happening with the DotCom world.
Bush Jr. was also a terrible President but he looks way worse than Clinton because both 9/11 and the housing bubble happened during his years in office. Neither were his fault. But hey, he was in office, so blame him.
In reality, Trump has to work with the balance of powers. Usually a president can't do too much damage.
Similarly, Obama came after the housing crash and there was nowhere to go but up and he was just in time to catch the mobile market and the Cloud markets that are booming and driving the booming economy. He passed Obamacare, which had a very low approval rating. Forcing a bill down the people throat when the majority vote against it is not a good thing. However, trying to help everyone have health care is a good thing. So who knows if we good or bad. Usually, it is hard to tell if a President was good or bad until about 20 years after they leave office.
Trump could be in for a shock if the mobile and cloud tech bubbles pop. The economy could tank and there is nothing he or anyone else can do about it.
When it comes to the economy, the President has less power, than Apple, Microsoft, Walmart, NetFlix, etc...
"Laptops"
That is a huge problem. The Mac Book Pro is supposed to compete in the Hybrid market. Unfortunately is doesn't compete, at all. Not that Microsoft cares. Apple is just another hardware vendor that requires an Windows license, even it is run in a VM.
Every MAC users in most businesses has to have a Windows VM. There are rare cases where some people don't have a Windows license running in a VM on their MAC, but those are rare cases.
My brother is paraplegic so, to me, this sounds freaking awesome.
17" laptops make awesome couch laptops. We don't tote it around out of the house much, but it travels all around the house.
It is also pretty awesome to watch a second college football game on a 17" laptop from watch espn while the TV has a game already on. :-)
You haven't really heard anything then.
Surface Pro 3 owner. I think it is the best computer on the market. Touch screen is phenomenal.
Yes, Microsoft makes hardware, now, but really,
- first, if you compare it by hybrid devices running Windows vs Hybrid devices running OS X, instead of comparing by each manufacturers separate hardware, the numbers show how minuscule Apple sales really are. It is great for their company, and quite profitable, but don't confuse that with a significant market share.
- Second, their Mac Book Pro isn't even a true hybrid cause it has no touch screen -- no the touch bar doesn't count as a touch screen. It is just a laptop. So it really need to compared to laptop sales, not hybrid sales.
Did you add in all the dongles and cables you have to buy. Just saying. Remember, it is total cost of ownership. :-)
