Quantum physics teaches us that at the fundamental levels of physics, reality itself is probabilistic. Probability distributions collapsing to discrete locations aligns nicely acro…

If you're inexperienced you have no bookcase at all, going from that to a rickety bookcase is an enormous improvement. (Perhaps this is why some devs dislike it, perhaps they place…

Similar to quantum computing, a probabilistic model when condensed to sufficiently narrow ranges can be treated as discrete.

It's just weird that it's this complicated. We should get a static IP from our DNS. We should use standard open source streaming conversion mechanisms. It should go over basic vide…

Wasted time should not be defined as unproductive time, it should be time you did not experience, time you were completely clocked out, not even enjoyed, not relaxed or relished. W…

Perhaps this makes a very big difference to you, but I often have to remind myself that iTunes movie rentals are very much alive and function just as they do some ten years ago. No…

The event one seems perfectly fine with a dictionary or even a class that wraps your events and pairs with an event object subscribers can attach to with a singleton attribute.

Rather than picking at the examples like other commenters, I very much agree with the diagnosis, which is that you do not want to pick someone who will protect your baby. That is a…

Yeah! Or cigarettes!

I think you would use SharePlay for that maybe

People used to and still say the same thing about GPS. As these systems mature they stay up and become incorporated into our workflows. The implication in the case of GPS was that …

Personally I feel that their emphasis on privacy by design was a very winning marketing strategy. Not sure if it played with the general pop.

Yeah I like fiber optic lines

Good thing almost all of programming falls into the former. Most of the economy runs on well defined languages. Billions and billions of dollars.

>I'm sure people noticed this issue internally and brought it up but some thing by some designer was seen as biblically sacred and overruled all reason. I disagree. Seems more like…

My two cents on this topic is to create short term, superficial incentives to help create the practices that yield the long term incentives. For me this is paying extra for a gym w…

So would that be almost all republicans and half of democrats?

My understanding is that a big appeal of sports gambling is that it adds stakes to entertainment. So instead of casually watching the game you're much more invested. Given this ang…

I know how much my ride will be and I know it doesn't vary based on what happens along the way. L

If you cannot understand what made Apple successful then or today what makes you think you're not failing to grasp something? You head right on to making an argument when nakedly r…

Completely agree. General intelligence is a building block. By chaining things together you can achieve meta programming. The trick isn't to create one perfect block but to build a…

I imagine it must feel like that. The reality is that engineers are blasé with data and have been since the personal computing revolution. Legal frameworks are incredibly irritatin…

So your argument is basically that he is just very smart and good at being a disruptor therefore any questioning of his ventures is doubtful because he is successful at previous di…

That's an appeal to authority. Either make an argument for why his reasoning is good or don't. But don't appeal to someone's reputation. That being said, I do think what the parent…

I honestly think there is some place here to be anti tech. Some things, the things closest to our humanity, like love and community, are not all that better with technology in my o…
