We see a problem, we act. Even if we don't understand properly the problem, our possibility of changing something, or creating/feeding a bigger problem with our actions. Everything that gets enough work and money flowing around it

I don’t see it as a single future, but the kind you r approach and tools a lot of problems will be addressed with. Some diagrams generate code. Interacting with some 3D models generate code. Some explanation generate code. And you can inter

If the difference is making the answer in a language that is not the native one (even if well understood enough) maybe more than language it is about getting closer to the second system than the first one, thinking slow and in a more ration

It used to be a possibility. Now is a reality, and done not by a minor unorganized player (like a small group of people breaking things) but by a major power. Even if they stop doing it right now, and not escalate it to i.e. phones, it has

The problem is not execution, is "justice", not just failing, but also without consequences for doing so, even in the cases of repeating offenders. Putting a few individual injustices up front doesn't show how the system may

From there to cell/smartphones there is a (very) short step. Would you be forced to not have with you your cellphone in plane trips if just one event of that happens? Put them in a strong/safe box on trip? What about notebooks? Wh

For something that is about antimemetics I hope that it gets a very memetic book release.

As with Asimov's The Last Question, there will be insufficient data for a meaningful course of action. But we tend to cut corners, be convinced with some synthetic use cases and take the risk without being aware that they are so. The m

Wonder if US have that capacity. So they think that if it is everywhere they can activate it at will on whoever they think is worthy, until a bug/mistake or backdoor is used to do that on everyone. Its the kind of elephants in the room

In real world, you have inexpensive to get metrics that act as proxy for the real problem that would be pretty complex or intrusive to measure. "Your pulse is elevated" message may be a warning to decide, if you have enough contex

The Incerto series by Nassim Taleb, specially The Black Swan and Antifragile. It is hard to make predictions, specially about the future, some good heuristics may be of help.

A bit opinionated and partial version of history (graphite was big before Influxdb and Prometheus came out, and the landscape is bigger than what they mentioned) but it might be a good enough starting point to learn about this.

Black swans and the Lindy Effect both play here. Sometimes hitting big with an startup more than compensate the loss of the failed ones. And odds of staying out increases with surviving time. It is not totally random that this happens, but

It is not just technology, but people, and culture, and mindsets, and more. I started in the local BBS arena and from there all the stages till now. And even something similar from the technological side is done, catching a critical, and bi

The second component of this, for people that doesn’t care to do good track of their passwords, is that their email passwords are usually memorable in the wrong way. So both your mail and all the dependent services are all held together wit

What so far seem to have aged badly is the concept of devices interacting with your brain directly (unless massive cultural engineering), augmenting thoughts or whatever. Would you give permission to Apple, Google, Amazon or Microsoft to pu

There wasn’t an error in Safari, WebKit or something like that last decade that accepted invalid certificates because an extra semicolon? Either adding or removing it was not trivial tasks.

"These days"? 25+ years ago it was pretty common to get scripts/bots checking your exposed web servers all time (I mean, it was a pretty frequent appearence in web access logs) and turning on firewall rejected access log gave

The problem is not if the 80% of them fail, but if of the remaining 20% you get several black swans that make profit skyrocket for the whole investment set. The problem is if none of them, even the surviving ones, don't worth too much

We are at some point of the rising trend, we don't know how high it may get, and how fast we will reach some uncomfortable point. But what we do know is that global average temperatures are rising extremely fast, and the valid preceden

Those examples are local, not global. And are affected by global climate too, i.e. things are changing too fast already for wild life adaptation, it is a process that is accelerating and nothing will be safe from its effects.

It could be more appropiate "Fire! Some may die in 5 seconds". Maybe no one died yet in the 5 seconds mark, or maybe someone die but we attribute that to the heat more than the fire, or just don't count them as there was no o

What it could cause a big change is a drop in latency, more than of bandwidth. But for some world regions the light speed would be a limiter anyway. Another game changer it would be internet (with good enough bandwith/latency) everywhe

Sometimes commercial companies have "incentives" to put backdoors, like i.e. secret orders by intelligence agencies. Snowden papers and all related information from that time set a baseline on what you may consider safe.

Besides the bias or not of the linked article, is not without irony the fact that Python itself was named after a phrase of a another comedy sketch.
