Yeah, I agree that to a casual follower of the space, the lack of mainstream use cases should arguably raise some red flags. However, as someone now deeply involved in the tech, I'm pretty confident that the use cases are coming and ar

What metric interests you? Number of stories in mainstream publications? Number of projects based on the tech in corporations? Amount of developer interest? Market cap? I agree that it is still in need of mainstream use cases, if that is yo

People like Tuur are so frustrating, because they complained about ethereum since day one (while lobbing lots of cheap shots at it) and now that it has turned into a big successful project, they are still around and say "see! I was rig

Usually I'm a stickler for the truth, but since there's no way scientists will ever be able to examine the stone, I prefer not to let the unresolvable uncertainty get in the way of such a neat story.

Well, I guess the core question is whether their users understand the mechanism they are participating in when they pay their contribution. I don't see the problem of letting their users participate in such a mechanism as long as there

Actually, I haven't used leiningen in 6 months, Clojure's new included cli tools work great these days.

Regardless of what's happening this winter, there's still way too much money sloshing around in the crypto space, money that is being ineffectively allocated... It'll be another 5 years at a minimum before any of the markets

Anyone have a guess how well Linux would run on such a beast? How are the driver issues these days? Could I likely get by without manually compiling drivers and without putting magic incantations in config files?

I would usually agree, but near as I can tell the vast majority of the top-level comments in this thread have a negative score and I find that surprising.

Is anyone else noticing unusual downvotes on this thread? Anyone think it's plausible a Marriot damage control team is participating on this thread?

A breach like this should mean that Marriott should immediately be in bankruptcy, since the potential damage to any individual customer is well above multiple thousands of dollars. I wish some of these giant companies would see some real co

Rich is well compensated mostly because he's a brilliant developer and architect: Clojure is just one point of evidence towards that fact.

More choices are almost always preferable over a long enough time frame.

I kind of wish people complaining about Clojure's development process (and of other open source projects) would just create a fork and implement their own ideas. This way, everyone could benefit from the experimentation and likely some

If it was "free software prophet" I would be fully on board: I think RMS was way ahead of the curve in foreseeing many of our future dilemmas around privacy, software patents, DRM, the open source movement, and many others.

The health+ML space is in a real ethical quandary right now, because at some level it's in all of our interests to have machine learning algos run against large patient data sets. I'm guessing that 100 years from now people will l

To me, the real appeal to me of meal services are "long tail" nutritional preferences- For instance, if you eat a strict ketogenic diet, you can get meal kits for that as well. It's difficult to make your own ketogenic meals

Nice, I like how it saves the showier effects until later in the game, really helps build the intensity.

I think it's clear an important element of AGI simply involves traversing large search spaces: This is essentially what deep neural nets are doing with their data as they train and return classification results... and it's not unr

I think both types of design will coexist soon- The advantage of the inward-folding version is that it would be likely to survive a fall, a desirable feature to have on (what I think is likely to be) a $2000 phone.

Well, I think a major hurdle of this tech is that it was unclear whether it is physically possible to create a screen with that extreme of a flexible hinge. Though I would never downplay manufacturing challenges, the existence of this POC i

I'm sure lots of people here will complain about the thickness of the phone and the fat bezels on the accessory screen, but I don't care: As long as the screen durability is reasonable, I will get this device.

Yeah some of the details are absurdly good, especially the picture of the "Texas Woman", how it gets the dogs ears perfect, perfect colors on the apples, and renders the copper pot a perfect copper hue.
