Yes, I also understand that what the author talks about is a change in focus. Similarly, when he talks about the transition from the agrarian age to the industrial, he doesn't imply "land" disappeared, that would be absurd. I

Author is talking about different ages there, and reasoning that capital abundance will lead, amongst others (like technology development), to the transition from the industrial age to the next one, "the world after capital". Wiki

Sound advice. Also, try to get to the next step as soon as you can, while still working on the previous ones. We are surprisingly quick to adapt even when facing complicated challenges, so take advantage of that. And always do something tha

Agree that many steps can be improved. In real live, though, it's not so difficult to guess/find someone who has Netflix, and also find their email. That's a really weak security requirement, security shouldn't depend at

Yeah, that's what I call "creativity". I'd say creativity —without quotes— comes from plagiarising multiple sources at the same time, your past self included, and repeat until the result becomes cohesive.

I believe many developers and designers have been annoyed by hierarchies in filesystems. But I wanted to comment on this: > there is a mismatch between the narrowness of hierarchies and the rich structure of human knowledge Absolutely tr

Agree it might be possible, but still, my point is that gains become smaller and smaller, more and more complex, and you still don't end up with transistors an order of magnitude smaller.

At some point we will probably have to start considering expiry dates for digital data more seriously (or at least expiry dates for public visibility), and not only for the waste on hard drives. The problem is that nowadays is so "chea

Well, the problem to me is that specialization is very valuable in economic terms, but we keep pushing that more and more to increase efficiency, effectively "forgetting" (more like "being lead to") practices that harm b

Anyway, around 5nm you start to have quantum tunneling effects. Current technology can't be scaled down much further. You can keep optimizing things, but you are still near the technology limits and increasing complexity.

The best part is probably that this system is so simple that it allows for many extensions, customizations or new rules and variations. You could solve this on prolog, for example, defining tiles as 4 numbers (one for each side), and what y

Just as a note, I don't think it's fair to make that comparison you make in your edit. One thing is that we want to reduce risks with other species, to keep a "normal" balance, with "normal" meaning "what

Some criticism: I don't really like the buttons style, but more objectively, you should center text and take a look at their size, it made me super uncomfortable when I opened the page. Also, the "Try us for a week" at the bo

nice work! doing quick graphs is very easy when you use paper and pen, but it's always been a pain to do with a computer! I assume this tries to be simple enough, but maybe it would be nice if we could have some extra, quick formatting

Yes, as others have mentioned, this is steganography, not cryptography. Basically, encoding a second message inside, in this case, a piece of music. If we want to talk about cryptography, we could say this resembles more simple, classic sub

I wouldn't particularly blame your instructor, a lot of people would have reacted the same way, which to me proves that it's not just AI, it's the roads and the driving that are unsafe. As pedestrians, we learn what's da

you are looking at 'trust' from a very technical perspective. and you are right there, but not everyone understands cryptography to talk about trust just from that perspective, that's just a small part, and a statement from T

A great reminder that spatial locality can be critical to performance. But that's actually quite well-known, and maybe a more important lesson would be: don't take performance for granted, even in standard libraries of well stabli

For example: once you see what the compiler does, you can write readable code without sacrificing efficiency. When you don't really know what's going on under the hood, consciously or unconsciously you write code based on assumpti

anyway, I don't think this would ever be accepted as evidence in trial. it could be an indicator/lead for investigations, but I don't think it would be a big concern for attackers?

Well, conventions are usually related to syntax. Then in some languages we talk about "idiomatic" solutions to certain problems. But style can definitely go beyond those two, and influence others like problem solving approaches, c

I would like to see a better source for this, but this point is explained in the post, saying the driver opened the door slightly, managing to bring the car's speed down to 60km/h, which sounds weird too, but I sure have never tri

"place" is very ambiguous. technically, a place might include several "regions". at the same time, a big building can have several entries, which can be referenced with different codes. and still, codes can vary in lengt

This. I feel a big problem the industry has is that they started to care more about ads and just grabbing attention than actually caring about product quality. Sure, you will sell more and toys will be frequently replaced, but in the end I

Well, and that's precisely what we need to adress, some of the things people want. I firmly believe we should teach about this in schools. Knowledge about biases is very relevant to critical thinking, and critical thinking to a fairer

I understand and agree with some points of your criticism, but I disagree with the part that we can't beat undesirable views out of people. Well, we can't do it completely, but it's not a binary thing, and I believe we really

I don't think that's so easy or a good enough solution for everyone, but I agree it's a good tool. In particular, I think it would also be more effective if we had better internet accounts, which were more transversal and cou

Hmm, you might be right about the problem being easier, or at least parts of it. Though, besides what others said about loudness and danger, I think the main point is cost. Even if they can be deployed earlier than fully autonomous cars, if
