From the people that brought us Objective-C, the only programming language that seems strange with a decade of coding experience. Its not a coincident.
I wouldn't hold my breath on this.. I've had a few occasions where Facebook will stop an ad link from opening because it suspects malware, BUT will not stop SELLING the ad!! Priorities, it's good to have them..
The problem with UBI is that it's a big new income redistribution and as such a huge political problem. To cover the costs you need to raise taxes that creates a new big transfer of income from the rich to poor. Also since UBI is such a big change in the system, it’s likely to introduce a new set of problems (e.g. scenarios which it can’t handle or where can be abused). And there is no middle ground, you have to go all in to be able to get the benefits.
I can believe C#/java can give you enough rope to do things in really dum/trivial/slow-ways. But I find hard to believe that its not possible to get good performance out of them. Ie you could do the the low level parallelism on those also. Meaning "good C++" can be 100x faster than "bad c#" but difference to "good c#" is not that big. Right?
Wow, no company ever went from "price renegade challenger" to "price gouging incubent" that fast.. Uber is probably right that it's possible jack up the profits that way but inflated margins means more money on the table. And people will notice that shit. Next step would be to limit competition through lobbying..
First read that "transform and monetize", maybe that's how the tax cuts get balanced and they'll get a healthcare reform agreement. Make America Freemium Again
Same here and I still remember Pascal fondly. Also my first experience in professional programming was Delphi 4, which was essentially "RAD Pascal" (and a hugely advanced and modern environment).
The internetz council convened and decided we will none of that "admit my mistakes"-bullshit here. Please hand in your card and exit the premises immediately.
Every service should come with autoupdate and a killswitch, people just can't be trusted to apply even critical patches. And once those stop coming, it's better that the things stop working.
The Uglier: It will need to have some real-time aspect to it to be at all effective in quickly blocking threats (not enough to have daily updated lists). This easily becomes a national SPOC for all web traffic, with GCHQ alerted everytime someone accesses a flagged "terrorist" website. That might actually be a good idea, but the fact they spin it as as a "malware defence" does not sound promising.
Yes and further they are in the spectrum, the more problems they usually have with being able to communicate at sufficient level. For an inhouse western coder the ability to clearly communicate why something matters is as important as pure coding ability. You need to be in meetings with business owners, marketing, designers and deliver your expertise in way that is understandable to people with no coding experience. If it's OK that someone drops you a spec and you start hammering away, they can ship it to India.
Well, fundamental assumption of the simulation argument is that it's a simulation of reality by a non-omnipotent race like us. If you assume different laws of reality, it's basically Descartes demon.
You still need to keep track of all 10^80 items and every step know "if someone is looking" which (like we know from games) can be almost as hard as the simulation. Even if you could do that extremely well, (~simulate just Milky Way, the 1 in 10^10 galaxies) it's still a 10^70 problem that does not solve the energy levels
Energy efficiency will improve, but that'll hit limits.. To do the 10^80 calculations you need to at least push 10^80 electrons, which gives you the scale of energy use. It doesn't really matter if it's one or million electrons per simulated atom.
One should assume energy use will scale with computing power and a "console" capable of known universe scale of simulation would also need similar levels of energy. Even if we assume to have harnessed singularities or something and have unlimited energy, it's unlikely every house will have that level of energy (10^50 hiroshima bombs) available

This! Republican party has the problem that they are targeting a declining customer segment.
What's with this informative BS? It's against the TOS, right? Back to snarky oneliners mister :)
(Thanks)
HAHaHAaa! Finally "News for nerds, Stuff that matters"! :D
