> I'd say by any definition of "We can at least all agree on a definition" that I'd accept, we can either all agree on the definition of both or neither.

It's a turn of phrase, I don't mean that literally all people will always agree on the definition of the word, I mean, practically speaking, outside of "pedantry" and "academic hogwash". I mean the scientific definition with empirical outcomes.
" actions by the Federal reserve and congress are both part of the system"

Normal actions by the Fed are not tantamount to bailouts.

The Fed exists just as much to bail out the rich as it does for anything else.

It's a massive and existential form of systematic inequality.

'We need the government to intervene' - ok, but then 'we' also need to take ownership of said companies and allow the feckless investors to eat dirt.

Then maybe they can price in risk more effectively, which is what recent market rallies indicate they won't do.

Imagine what stock prices would be without the looming guarantee of bailout ...

How are barrel connectors still a thing? Apple figured out the correct way to hook up a power supply over a decade ago. Of all the design decisions manufacturers like to copy from Apple, why do they avoid this one like the plague?
I'd love to hear more about the story behind migrating from AWS to GCP. Is it primarily motivated by cost savings?
One test would be to use CT scans from last year and plug them into the model: any positives are false positives.
Public cloud already disallows spamming. Additional restrictions don't seem implausible.
At the first startup I worked at, we used MkLinux as a way to recycle old (pre-OS X) Macs. One of them was the company firewall for years, another was a Usenet server. It was actually quite a reliable and capable distribution, and of course far better than the crash-prone Mac OS 9 that previously ran on the hardware.
Actually there are several peace walls in Belfast; and also there are more now than there were during the '70s / '80s.

Also, there are parties on both sides of the divide who are still armed; it's just the largest and most politically engaged groups who are no longer armed.

"PricewaterhouseCoopers predicts that the number of vehicles on the road will be reduced by 99%, estimating that the fleet will fall from 245 million to just 2.4 million vehicles."

I do not believe that. For freight, more efficient use of freight vehicles will decrease the number of vehicles needed, but I guess that will be compensated for by more demand for freight transport because it will get cheaper.

As to personal transport: http://traveltrends.transportation.org/Documents/CA10-4.pdf, page 5 shows that about 120 million people travel to work by car each day in the USA. To get them there in those 2.4 million vehicles, each vehicle would have to drive 50 people to work each morning and back each evening.

Picking a optimistic average car sharing load of 2 persons (the PDF puts carpooling at about 10%), that would be 25 trips. At a moderate 5 minutes a trip, it would take those cars 250 minutes to do that. That's about 4 hours, so the first people would arrive at work at 07:00 and the last ones at 11:00.

With realistic figures, those number will easily blow up to over 8 hours. So, it will require huge other changes (job los, working from home or highly increased car sharing) to get down to that 2.4 million number.

I also think those who can afford a car now will want to own a driverless car, too. Reason? If you do not need to drive, your car can become more of a living room: you will want to keep your favourite books and games in it. That in itself will slow down a decrease in the number of vehicles, but there is a second factor: once your car is your living room, chances are people will be less bothered about long commute trips.
@SwiftOnSecurity's identity is a parody; the information on it is pretty legit.
>What Google can't do is get those patches delivered to end-user devices.

Apple manage to do it. Google made a conscious decision to trade off allowing end users to keep up to date with achieving faster adoption of Android among OEMs and carriers. You can't now pretend that the results of those decisions are some kind of inevitability. It was Google's choice, and they are responsible for the result.

>And we know that OEMs won't provide updates because they are already refusing to provide the one that has existed for some time now: Android 4.4.

Yes, OEMs like Google themselves…
If you as a driver knew that an auto-bus was the same as a tram, it would start and stop automatically, follow a path. Make some decisions. It would be your job to not act crazy around it. If someone plays chicken with it, it'd report you to the police along with a video of you. Stop, wait for you to get out of the way. Then carry on. I fail to see the problems here?

"that guy driving on a two wheeler on the wrong side of the road, with 4 kids somehow balanced on the rear seat" ... what's to parse? A moving object, try to avoid. Stop to avoid danger.

Yep - when the government performs a function, you get whatever GS 12 or 13 employee is in that seat making decisions with little or no accountability. Good, bad, or indifferent - mostly indifferent.

Recovery numbers are recovery telephone numbers. If they sim-swap you, they have your telephone number. The end. Virtually all email accounts and online services tie themselves to your damn telephone number, and there are tens of thousands of people in each phone companies who can move your number.

> How much of this can be adapted to inland dwelling?

From a cursory glance - most of it.

But it's a semi-commune, anyway, so you need willing participants. I would _love_ to move into a place like that myself... but capitalist societies don't tend to encourage this type of communal projects as an alternative to atomized individualist social arrangements.

When birthdate is tied to an account, I pick a random one and store it alongside the username and password in KeePass. Same as the "security questions"; I make up and store nonsensical answers. E.g. "Q: What was your mother's maiden name?" "A: Blueberry pie."

Privacy for me but not for thee.
There's less monopsony than you might think. Especially for companies that take in unspecialized unskilled labour:

Even just taking your example, Walmart is competition for Amazon for unskilled labour.

But you are right that in order to get a tight connection between productivity and labour, there needs to be competition in the labour market. (Actual competition is best, but even the threat of potential competition is better than nothing.)
different norms than they have been dedicated to fighting, and probably the corporate enforced norms here are not ones that the corporations actually care about enforcing but only do so because they feel threatened by other, non-corporate enforced norms.
How many people were made uncomfortable? How many times was he asked to stop? Is it documented anywhere, other than this persons tweet? And why are they being called "pleasure cards"? It makes it sound like these were handed out in order to solicit sex from women.

Do none of these details matter? Am I going crazy? Why are so many people so incurious about factual information once there is any mention of the word "uncomfortable" or "unsafe"?
I mean, 90% of my application is simple things. I mostly use the Django ORM and even more complicated joins, grouping and subqueries are predictable. I'm curious what ORM people are using that obscures the queries that are being emitted so much. For the 10% where things are complicated I will happily write SQL.

I wouldn't say the ORM is "for prototypes/pocs", but rather it should be the default and raw SQL is "complicated stuff only".
I think the commenter meant that the notion that QM is needlessly complex and akin to the Ptolematic system is nothing but conjecture.
I'm using one now. This "mini" is huge.
I think that specifically for this type of show, YT is better in almost every way than broadcast TV. It has a much, much larger audience, they can reach an international audience, the creators have more direct control, they can use formats that just don't fit right into a TV schedule, they get direct feedback on the success of their shows instead of relying on market research and 5th hand accounts.

Assuming they are making good money, I really don't see an upside to moving the show to broadcast television.
I'm no expert in this sort of thing, but it would seem that if a trade-secret is required for efficient production, patenting the trade secret near the end of the patent's life would be a way to effectively extend the original patent.
Yes. But I wish to point out that the Fukishima disaster happened because one failure caused a cascading sequence of failures that destroyed the plant.

The design failure was "assume the seawall would not be breached". But it was, which destroyed the backup electric generators, and the rest followed from that.

A better design would assume the seawall is overtopped, and so would have put the generators on a platform. Simple, cheap, and effective.
Gotcha, thanks for the responses. Best of luck!

Oh man, far too much to list in a post.

Just for starters though: perl 5.12 language features, Moose, Plack, perlbrew, Task::Kensho, the Modern Perl and Enlightened Perl movements, the Padre IDE, Strawberry Perl. That's maybe 0.0001% of what's going on.
Gah, I kinda came to this hoping to stick up for hg yet again. But a lot of these gripes are accurate.

If you want something that "just works" and is awesome from the command line Mercurial is your best friend. If you may be facing borderline case that will wrap you in tape, Git is a better option.
Its perfectly fine to note that Java can be verbose and that it does not fully support closures. It is perfectly fine to consider these "shortcomings".

However, in context of OP's comment above, the strong suggestion made was that shorcoming == poorly designed.

And that is a completely wrong assessment of Java and its designers. It is an exceptionally well thought out system and language. Again, the proof is in the pudding. Google and Oracle are not fighting over scala ...
Interesting illusion, but I wonder what is the desirable effect here.

I can imagine it being argued both ways:

1. the bar should be animated so that it looks faster than it really is.

2. the bar should be animated in the reverse way, so that download is actually faster than it seems from the bar, thereby giving a positive surprise to the user.

Its not the design..its the effing process!

SpaceX uses a vertical process, everything is done in-house..India outsources the rocket motors from Russia, etc..

SpaceX founder's thesis is that using a vertical process you have the opportunity to reduce both costs and failures..

In fact SpaceX's percentage of failures to successes has decrease which was one of the founder's predicts of the thesis being correct.
Man, that makes me feel all warm and nostalgic. Of course everyone's young, learning about the freedom of the internet and using their creativity for the first time. In my day it was LUE on the GameFAQs forum, though I was more of a Forumite at the time...
I've been looking at Perl frameworks recently, and Dancer in particular. Dancer looks good to me - but so does this. I'd love to see it compared and contrasted to Dancer and Catalyst. Great work!
Nitpick: Matt was at Harvard, not Stanford.

With respect to what has changed, one of the things that comes through is that his day at Google is more self-directed and less interrupt driven. Fewer meetings, no petitioning others for grants or industrial money, no need to get up in front of a class, and no meetings with students. Instead there are three or four projects that need to make progress, but how exactly that happens is up to him.
I agree. Somebody from 1915 would already understand the paradigm shift brought by the industrial revolution. The notion of decomposing problems into small, specialized tasks and delegating to people and other resources was familiar.

Consider these technologies and innovations that had already been developed:

* Jacquard loom (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacquard_loom)

* Player pianos (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Player_piano)

* Widespread use of interchangeable parts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interchangeable_parts#Late_19th...)

* Assembly lines (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assembly_line)

* Tabulating machine for the 1890 US Census (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabulating_machine)

* Transoceanic telegraph networks (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_telegraph)

* Use of humans for distributed computation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_computer)

Automated computation is an amazing concept, but--at the risk of historic bias--what we have now is merely an optimized and widely available form of what we had then.

What I imagine they'd have a really difficult time accepting is modern physics, particularly quantum theory. Then again, the vast majority of the public today (including me) struggles with it.

You should have a look at Jolla and their Sailfish OS. Beautiful Linux system based off of MeeGo, not tied to any Google or even American servers.

Yes, I most definitely agree that anyone out joyriding and shooting up civilians is a criminal, and it's outrageous that we haven't seen any action against them. I just don't think that that makes Manning any less of a criminal, which it seems some people are trying to assert. If you are not one of them then I apologize for interpreting your comments that way, but it does seem the most natural interpretation of a very short emotional appeal in response to an argument supporting Manning's sentence.
Don't quote hyperbole, show evidence of specific instances of this and let them stand on their own merit.
Every major religion defines God as the one and only thing that exists. The thing that every other thing is made out of. So, wouldn't existence itself be rational evidence for the existence of a thing that makes up all other things? What if we find something that looks like it's the single cause of all observable phenomena? (The most fundamental building-block of nature.) Have we found God?

The idea of God is so singular that I'm not sure regular logic can be applied here at all. What other thing do we rationalize about that is similar to the idea of God?

Are you sure that you're being rational or are you simply using one type of rational logic which lends itself mainly to materialism?

I guess the other problem is - what exact definition of "God" is anybody using at any given time?

EDIT: I don't mean for you to answer all of these questions, but it's fun to think about! :)
Question: If God made man(intelligent design), you open a whole new plethora of questions, including "Who made God", and we're back to square one.
"Small" businesses win when transaction costs between corps get smaller, when supply chains get more efficient, when more available capital is fills out choices in the supply chain, and when more corps can focus more on competitive advantage. A "small" business (with some exception to service-based businesses) is a just a "head" of a long, long supply chain. And, it only looks small if you look at the head.

I have been hoping for years that this type of economy would emerge. This type of transformation will allow for more small entrepreneurs to survive and thrive. Large corporations tend to focus on optimization, and that optimization narrows the types of products that they can produce. With small businesses, customers can get more tailored products, more individualization, more personalized service.

Although it's easier than ever to start a small business, I don't think we're quite there yet. Large corporations still have economies of scale to their advantage. But, I'm hopeful that we're trending in the right direction. I'm hopeful that soon, small entrepreneurs with a good business ideas can make reasonable profits staying small and fitting in somewhere in that massive, global supply chain. In that type of world, we all benefit.

Check out #499 here: http://www.usccb.org/beliefs-and-teachings/what-we-believe/c...

As Catholic we also understand that not everything that Jesus said was written in the Bible, thus the Catholic Church, which Jesus Christ instituted, also includes sacred Tradition. thus we believe not in sola scripture (the Bible alone) but sola verbum Die (the word of God alone) which includes sacred Tradition. The Bible actually mentioned that not everything Jesus said is in the Bible: John 21:25 "But there are also many other things which Jesus did; which, if they were written every one, the world itself, I think, would not be able to contain the books that should be written"
A system (or human) does not need to be perfect to be useful. I'll definitely assert that my mind can identify the emotional state of humans around me even if it's not always correct about it and can be cheated by a professional actor; it's right more often than not and it's a very useful capability to have so I'd say it works because I'm using it all the time even if's not perfect.

It would be fraud if and only if it's no better than chance, if it has no correlation whatsoever with the true emotional state - and it's perfectly possible (by both humans and machines) to make an "educated guess" about the emotional state that would - especially in agregate for many humans - be informative for all kinds of purposes, even if it can be easily cheated by a professional actor. For example, you probably can detect if a particular section of an online class turns people unusually frustrated or unusually sleepy, even if it doesn't affect all people, half of affected people don't show it or aren't detected, and there's a professional actor in the class faking the exactly opposite signal. Also, there are many scenarios where it's not even worth considering antagonistic behavior, where people have no motivation to put any effort in misleading it.

The argument that it's impossible to determine the inner state of an individual with certainty is irrelevant, because noone is claiming that, and it's not a requirement for the described use cases. After all, surveys of "do you like product/person X" provide valuable information even if it's trivial for anyone surveyed to lie. All the system needs to do (which needs to be properly validated, of course) is to provide some metric that in practice turns out to be reasonably correlated with the inner state of the individual, even if it doesn't work in all cases and for all individuals, and that IMHO is definitely achievable.

Perhaps it's more a difference in semantics - what do we call if a system (or human) for identifying some status or truth is halfway between "no better than chance" and "can identify the true status 100% of the time". I would say that it's a feasible system for identifying that thing, and that system works (though it's not perfect); it seems that you would say that such a system does not work - but how would you call or describe such a halfway-accurate system?

Why would the court be obliged to reason front to back? Surely this is no different from e.g. "the defendant had adequate grounds for killing in self-defence, so there is no need to examine whether they intended to kill the victim".
