It's not just about labelling, it's also about not putting everything into the same generic menu. And I completely agree with the original article that anything[1] that you can pull out of the menu entirely and turn into a top-level element, you should. But freshyill's comment was specifically about large sites, such as news sites, that have too many elements to put them all at the top level. And in the context of that, I'm saying that the hamburger menu is still the worst solution you can come up with. If you must hide things behind menus, group them in a way that makes sense, with a label that tells the user immediately what the menu will contain. If the user has to actually open the menu to find out what's in it, then you've already lost, because it means the user won't know to click on that menu when searching for a thing that happens to be in it. For a news site, if the user wants the Lifestyle section, they'll probably understand that clicking on a menu named "Sections" is likely to give them what they want (or perhaps clicking on a menu labelled "More" right next to a few of the most popular sections such as World News). What they won't figure out without guessing blindly is that a menu with an icon of 3 horizontal stripes is where they can find the sections list.

So basically, what I'm saying is that if you must use a menu, label it appropriately, and only put relevant items in that menu. If you have a bunch of things that aren't related to each other, they should be in different menus. A real hamburger menu is only appropriate for items that the vast majority of users are expected to never click on, and for which you're ok with making it hard to find for the rare user that actually does need it.

[1] Well, anything that you want users to actually click on.

Technical folks are driven by challenges. If you really want to meet or know technical people, you have to yourself start working on "impossible" task. Once you struggle, you can ask online community to help. Some of them might help and then you can take this conversation forward. building relationship is the hardest thing and it takes time. Many a times, you might miss the market by the time you have built relationship. So it can't be the only thing you are doing. No body likes to join a ship going nowhere.... create a map, treasure hunt plan, buy a ship and then ask people to come join you along your pursuit
One thing mentioned in the article was another advance in this design, where some of the materials that deal with the most intense neutron bombardment are replaced by a liquid that can be pumped out and circulated. Presumably there's still a containment vessel for this liquid that is a maintenance pain, but they do seem to be working on the problem.

It should be down voted because it seems obvious the poster didn't read the whole article. There are later sections, for example those covering Jiro Horikoshi, that address how Japan brought much of their pain on themselves.

Also, the comment missed the entire point of the article, as you established. Just because Japan attacked Pearl harbour doesn't mean an unnamed mother deserved to burn to death, nor that her child deserved to starve to death.

Neither victim, nor many of the other civilians in WW2 or Iraq, had a say in the politicking that led to their destruction, which is the true horror of war.
I'm a developer living outside of California, and I'm giddy for the big one. San Francisco is the worst thing to happen to this country culture-wise since the Beatles.

If California has a huge earthquake, we'd be better off.

That being said, I lived in Redding, California for several years and visited the dam and went to the Lassen Volcanic National Park and visited Dunsmuir and it was all nice and quaint for the most part.

If California explodes, hopefully it's just from Sacramento southward.

Exercises to give the same effect as running?

The simplest is HIIT, or high intensity interval training. You work at a very difficult pace for short bursts of time, with small rests in between. The exercises are almost all done standing in place and are all lower impact than running. You can add resistance to build lean muscle, and increase the reps for added endurance training. Other forms of this include P90x and Crossfit.

It's funny, because this very activity is what led to me hurting my knees via running. I used to be in a pretty intense martial arts conditioning class which used HIIT and circuit training. I did it so much that one day I decided to see if I could run more than a mile (I had never done so before). I ran 17 miles. The next few days afterward I couldn't walk. Nobody had told me this would be a bad idea, and I had only ever heard that running was good for you...
If android were acquired today, would the really be brought in to the google core?
Why is that? What makes the web different in this case?
Yes, I guess the ones that are getting affected are the Google (not Alphabet) employees, since now it must be much more complicated for an engineer working on a Google project to be transferred to something more sexy such as the Self Driving Car. Disclaimer: I don't work at Google and don't know anybody who does, so I might be totally off.
Even taking indirect advertising profit into question, they've failed at basically everything.

OK, so what does IA have to say about this problem? From what I remember about it (my course didn't have it, but I read a bunch in the early 2000s), it was more concerned about the overall organization of the information over the pages, and not with the specifics of how a menu should be formatted.

By the way, it's not "an" experience, it's "the" experience, and nobody would agree more with you about it being invisible than the coiner of the term UX - after all, Don Norman's seminal work (The Design of Everyday Things) was all about designing stuff to be more intuitive and fast to use.

It's been half a decade since I studied anything fusion related but IIRC regardless of using a liquid blanket you still have to have the machinery (powerful microwaves, particle injectors, etc) and the inner wall present.

Liquid breeder blankets are definitely the way to go but I don't think they are the full solution. (They are super neat because you can use them to make more fuel for fusion through neutron capture, so not only do you reduce radioactivity but you also reuse the energy in a useful fashion)

Sony took internal competition too far in the 90s and created a situation where they developed severe internal NIH syndrome and wasted a whole lot of resources with different divisions re-implementing things. The system produced some of the most revolutionary and iconic consumer electronics ever before it went off the rails. The danger I was referring to was repeating Sony's mistakes.
I thought the GP was asking whether a conglomerate was formed in this bottom-up restructuring before. Many of the other conglomerates seemed to have become large through parent companies making or buying subsidiaries, not a subsidiary forming the parent.

Are there any prominent ventures (aside from YouTube) that aren't being spun out?
Huh, I checked out the RGB values in the linked Boingboing post[0] too, and didn't notice that one had green 187. I very much doubt that was intentional or what they were testing for. Interesting that you found the larger difference to be easy to spot--I saw the difference but only after looking carefully.

What I found most fascinating was the screenshot in the Boingboing post of the person looking at green squares with one aqua. I suppose they could have a very high incidence of tritanopia, blue light insensitivity, and in fact the spectrum shown here[1] matches up rather nicely with what's in the screenshot. I'd be surprised if this wasn't taken into account, though.

Control of the internet does not mean the hacker ethos is somehow polluted. It just means the hackers have a new target. Silicon Valley doesn't define hacker culture. I didn't grow up or go to school in Silicon Valley and I don't live there currently. Yet, I'm something of a hacker as the article defines it.

And how does one co-opt a culture? What does that even mean? I can see how one might destroy a culture, force a culture into hiding maybe, but co-opt it? That's a fancy way of saying they took our label. That's the thing about label's though. They change meanings over time.

I think the real reason the author and many others are upset is because they thought the "hacker ethos" was going to go mainstream. Then they looked around and realized that what went mainstream wasn't hacking as they saw it, and got upset.

Hackers have always been a minority. We were a minority during the internet revolution. We are minority now. We'll be a minority in the future. Expecting anything else will just result in dashed hopes.

"I'd like to have on a usb key a user friendly software that could parse a math article to check the proofs in it without having to learn how to use stuff like Coq and highlight the possible gaps. But this may sound unrealistic, at least for now."
Thanks for pointing that out. I don't think I conveyed myself well in my original post, this is a fantastic development but I feel like the article didn't emphasize that the development is really about moving towards the material science that we need. It felt like the article sensationalized the energy output per unit size and didn't focus enough on the material science challenges of the problem (as well as how much this will aide in their solution).

The authors clearly recognize this, I just wish the public understood it better.
> How would this author propose convincing leaders who commit human rights violations to stop those violations?

You kill several of those victims, of course, and make sure the rest won't ever escape from poverty. I'm pretty sure that'll teach a dictator to not victimize them.

Or, just maybe, a dictator oppressing its own people isn't good enough reason to start a war. But I'll not insist on such radical ideas.
If the label, "US Warmongering", upsets you so much, please consider joining anti-war efforts. There's a reason why we have that label. Since WW2, our military has been active throughout the world to protect our interests from Latin America to the Middle East and of course, even Europe with the Cold War. Our current president promised an end to the war in the Middle East but it has yet to materialize. The Republican Party wants to launch a full-on campaign against ISIS. That label will remain with us unless we, as citizens, get involved with our government.

With regards to your point into human rights violations, I'd strongly suggest you look deeper into the conflict itself as "human right violations" is smoke and mirrors. If "human right violations" were a reason to start a conflict, Russia and/or China should have invaded us by now for all the human rights violations our police force are committing against our citizens, for all human right violations at Guantanamo Bay, etc.

Yeah. I thought so too, but I wasn't sure, so I figured I might as well answer. It couldn't hurt.
Test/dev environments are something else I can think of. For example, you might want a different dependency in a dev environment, but you don't want to write tedious "if (env == dev) return foo else return bar" code in your getter, which also couples the hosting class to the environment in which it's running.
I can honestly say I'd never heard of that before you posted your link. I don't know enough to form a valid opinion here.

And F is for Facebook and W is for whatever... This restructuring really had little practical value and doesn't change anything -- including plans to acquire or not acquire Twitter. Sure the legals are different but the company isn't.
Why is one meta tag closed and the others open?
Sure they are. Instead of the hosting object determining which dependency to return, some external mechanism is determining such. IoC doesn't necessarily apply only to initialization.
It's the new norm apparently - everyone is doing this.

Apple gives OS X away but nobody has yet got the memo that you are becoming the product. (Yosemite does exactly that by default - you can disable it though.)
The article was written by MIT's public-relations office, so interpret that as you like.
Yeah, that seemed bizarre to me. You'd need to have a huge edge (extremely unlikely) to make money after fees with only $10k. Plus you're very limited in what you can actually trade with that little capital. For example, many options contracts trade for more than $10k.

The most intractable OpenGL ES issues on mobile have to do with the large amount of state kept, requiring long pipeline flushes, complex application-level batching, driver batching, and other things.

Normally, drivers try to batch up a lot of work, but being really subtle about things (calling glGet, for instance), you can accidentally cause a blocking flush of your entire state.

Making applications fast involves trying to defer and hack around this state machine as much as possible, while maintaining correct behavior. As such, you end up with tons of subtle, hard-to-find interaction bugs. I've debugged and fixed some of these in a certain mobile OpenGL driver we're deploying on our platform we licensed from the vendor.

This is independent from other tricky bits of OpenGL ES, like the shader compiler front-end choking on perfectly valid GLSL, because there's no compliance tests for any of it.
How is he sharing his MAC address with any companies that are outside his network segment?
Seems very similar to how Berkshire Hathaway treats it's companies. CEOs run the companies, a small group at the top adds/removes companies. There is one company listed on the stock exchange, etc.

It's noteworthy that Berkshire Hathaway refuses to deal with technology companies, while Google is exclusively tech.
It will have an impact - they will break out the Google Financials in Q4 & overall be more transparent about the different projects.
The liquid blanket technology is nothing new or unusual and, from what I recall, seems to be generally agreed as the way to go. You are exactly correct about the containment vessel, and there is also the raw machinery needed to maintain the containment field and the reaction. I think the lifespan for these things is on an upper bound of 3 years, and I can't remember if that is at power plant or experimentation scale (experimental reactors run way less frequently and create less radiation than a power plant would).

It's an interesting problem to me because fusion is largely solved and well understood from the physics perspective (which is what most people consider the challenging esoteric part), the remaining challenge is a much more 'mundane' task of developing economic methods to create the needed materials.

Just tried this out, very cool. Making data wrangling fast is at least as important as model selection.

The way "deep learning as a service" is shaping up, there are 3 camps: vertical focused, platform as black box, and platform for power users.

"Vertical focused" would include companies like Clarifai and Enlitic focused on image tagging and medical imaging respectively.

"Platform as a black box" would be companies like Metamind, and apparently Labellio (just upload and hit "train").

"Platform for power users" would be Ersatz Labs (full control of model type, parameter selection, ensembling, focus on supporting newer-but-trickier model types like sequence-to-sequence RNNs).

Jury is out on which approach is the right one. For the record, my company makes Ersatz, launched in January 2013.

"In the early days of civilization, the general feeling was that the earth was flat. This was not because people were stupid, or because they were intent on believing silly things. They felt it was flat on the basis of sound evidence. It was not just a matter of "That's how it looks," because the earth does not look flat. It looks chaotically bumpy, with hills, valleys, ravines, cliffs, and so on.

Of course there are plains where, over limited areas, the earth's surface does look fairly flat. One of those plains is in the Tigris-Euphrates area, where the first historical civilization (one with writing) developed, that of the Sumerians.

Perhaps it was the appearance of the plain that persuaded the clever Sumerians to accept the generalization that the earth was flat; that if you somehow evened out all the elevations and depressions, you would be left with flatness. Contributing to the notion may have been the fact that stretches of water (ponds and lakes) looked pretty flat on quiet days.

Another way of looking at it is to ask what is the "curvature" of the earth's surface Over a considerable length, how much does the surface deviate (on the average) from perfect flatness. The flat-earth theory would make it seem that the surface doesn't deviate from flatness at all, that its curvature is 0 to the mile.

Nowadays, of course, we are taught that the flat-earth theory is wrong; that it is all wrong, terribly wrong, absolutely. But it isn't. The curvature of the earth is nearly 0 per mile, so that although the flat-earth theory is wrong, it happens to be nearly right. That's why the theory lasted so long."

My current blackberry device runs android apps. So the project seems to have been a somewhat of a success.

Blackberry seems to have secured a solid niche position in mobile security, despite losing the majority of their mobile phone business to more end-consumer electronics driven companies (primarily samsung & apple).
