It doesn't answer the title? Why won't they take over? I thought he was going to discuss the exponential difficulty of AI as it approaches human parity.

The article says the issue is Corona not Canada?

I would guess skyscrapers vs. 4 stories. West/East Village in Manhattan are generally considered the most pleasant and they are skyscraper-free.

This touches on apps vs. web a little. Fundamentally what's the difference between mobile apps and the web? Is one naturally faster? Smoother? More cross-platform? Better at sensors? Offline mode? Not at all, not fundamentally at least. They are both just code on a machine. Either of them can make their runtimes do whatever they like whenever they like. If the web dedicated all it's resources to performance they would be smooth as native - there is no physical law prohibiting that. And vice versa for cross-platform compatibility. The fundamental difference is philosophical. The web consortium starts with consensus and cross-platform compatibility as a core tenant, while native pumps out proprietary features. They both strive for the same point but approach from opposite ends of the spectrum. As time goes on they might converge on the same point - which philosophy will win?

Probably similar to using dreamweaver visual editor vs. writing code to make a website.

Flight is EXACTLY like swimming except in air and without any component of floating. You're welcome.

The missing piece is "refusing" permission should instead give dummy data: an empty address book, a random location, etc. Better would be profiles: Full, Basic, Public, Anonymous, etc

And the problem is gigantic, programs in general are completely broken - why does my entire system have to be compromised because I decided to play Catan. We need the iOS/Android model for permissions on desktop.

Any idea what they are measuring against? For example avg. income or accolades of graduates.

I should've said "rendering engine" rather than "front-end library", to still be able to use things like redux, css processors, etc. But your comment made me realize that may not actually make sense. I'm still generally hesitant when a single framework takes over the entire chain.

> The approach of using a compiler instead of a framework makes a lot of sense

I agree, I wish it wasn't an entire framework though and more of a front-end library like react. I've learnt long ago not to invest too much into a single tool.

Imagine a table of numbers, the xml would be 90% repeated header names and structure. Now multiply that by hundreds of little Ajax requests, it added up.

It's a common story: monolith or microservices? Linux do one thing well or holistic cohesion? Mega repo or many small ones? There are pros and cons. Nothing in the universe is currently more fragile than a modern js toolchain tho.

> XML could have remained popular and we would not have had jason

One of the selling points of json is file size, xml started dying when people realized that more than half their bandwidth was going to xml structure rather than actual data

> This drove Armstrong to suicide by defenestration

For those who are extra slow like me: he killed himself by jumping out of a window.

How can you do without the modem? Which ubiquity product is that?

It would be hard to find any product these days that isn't dependent on the world-wide supply-chain, but I agree that how "manufacturing" is quantified and measured leaves a lot of room for tomfoolery.

Bit of a rub that to request your messy, potentially erroneous, public profile, you have to give private, authenticated identification and contact information - basically the most valuable information they could want, dramatically increasing the value of your profile that you were so concerned about in the first place.

The US is the #2 manufacturer in the world [1] and will overtake China this year to become #1 [2].

Cool

It's irrelevant what the hashrate has been, there are a plethora of reasons for it, not the least of which is speculation for future gains. It is straightforward logic that if there comes a time when total compensation for mining is lower than today, then there will certainly, eventually, be less mining, and therefore a less secure blockchain (but possibly still secure enough). If at the time equal security was demanded there would be no choice but to raise fees to incentivise equal mining.

But this whole small transaction dream is a foregone conclusion. Even now it's clear that Bitcoin works best with fewer, larger, higher fee transactions. Miner compensation is one reason, but there are many: blockchain size, centralization, latency, etc. PoW blockchains are clearly suited as settlement layers.

The main (only?) way html affects style is containment - the hierarchical nature of it and the ability for components to be "inside" other components. I feel like I already bump into this issue quite often with something as basic as whether an <input> should be inside the <label> or next to it. The only way, I believe, to resolve containment issues is with absolute positioning (right?). Given enough time and change requests, every element will eventually have to become absolutely positioned, which would become a mess - do you agree with this and how do you handle it?

To achieve that tho you need a ton of superfluous non-semantic html wrapping everything in triple so that you have the flexibility to do what you need.

The S&P 500 is down 30% since Coronavirus started [1], back to April 2017 levels [2], about three years worth of gains erased.

But this comes after a decade-long record bull run that's been begging for a 15% correction. Treasury yields were inverted a few months ago, last week bond prices got disjointed from their underlying assets, QE has been incessant since 2008, rates are at literal zero - the bull market was fake, propped-up and political; there is nasty sausage festering in the belly of our financial system and it's set to explode. Get ready for at least another 30% drop.

Or:

The internet is truly the greatest invention of all time. There is nothing more valuable than the exchange of ideas. We have only begun reaping its rewards. It will be responsible for another 100 year bull run of greater magnitude than the industrial revolution. Not only is innovation at record levels, but the pace of increase of innovation is at record levels. The bull run was not fake, P/E levels of the S&P are in line with historical averages [3]. We are taking Coronavirus very seriously and China has shown that you can "flatten the curve" when you do [4]. This will blow over in a few months and the economy will be right back to where it was. But the stock market is forward-looking and can recover in an instant, the buying opportunities are now.

Lol, you're right, misread that

It's probably 90% stateless, with username being email and version being 1, plus probably remembering the exceptions to sites you use often.

> Sometimes sites have specific password rules. For instance, some banks only accept passwords made of numbers.

An easy solution would be to append "A1!" to all generated passwords.

> You also can self host your LessPass Database

From a local stateless solution to managing a server, that escalated fast.

I don't think it broke any real records, the only one is the absolute point drop in the indexes, but that's a meaningless stat that will constantly be broken in the future as the economy grows - proportion is what's interesting.

Reminds me a bit of home automation (which I enjoy). You manage a plethora of battery powered devices that need constant connection to finiky wifi with continuous access to your Linux server hub so that push and pull of data remains in tact so that you can have AI actuate a function through a "remote" - all to replace a light switch. Sometimes I wonder where this will end up. Might need 50 years before reliability and simplicity are up to par.

I've always thought that google had a conflicting business model - on the one hand search brings people in, but on the other it competes with ads. The better the search, the less useful the ads. Given this, google might be indirectly incentivized to only have search good enough to be better than competition, but not the best. Not saying they're actively doing that, but seems like something.
