I don't buy it. Any academic presentation of a subject includes the limits of current knowledge. Maybe this is not emphasized enough, but it's a matter of extent, not a qualitative refusal to acknowledge ignorance.

A great example is that mainstream academic economists are very open about not being able to explain why monetary stimulus works. At one point (maybe this goes back to Keynes or even further) people attributed it to sticky prices. But current research cannot come up with a reasonable mechanism based on sticky prices that would explain the magnitude of the effect of monetary policy. Currently people accept that what we observe on the macro level cannot be explained on the micro level.

Consider your statement in the context of the term "Capitalism", which was in fact coined by none other than Karl Marx.
1) You can't eliminate Caller ID spoofing without overhauling the whole phone network, which won't happen until carriers are forced to do so by regulatory forces. A strong narrative here is the relative security guarantees of IPsec vs SS7.

2) Caller ID accuracy is a database federation problem and is not likely to be fixed without regulatory reform of data disbursement practices. Lockheed Martin Information Systems (Now called Neustar) is the central repository for all Caller ID records but many providers keep their own Caller ID databases to avoid paying the Neustar "dip" fees.

The way robocalling works is with outbound voice detection. You light up X circuits and only route the call to your harassment agent when a human voice is detected. It's trivially simple to detect these guys, and the way many voip providers deal with this is to charge a lot for the first minute of a call.
As someone who has worked on mobile networks, and has a great deal of TCP/IP experience on CDMA, UMTS, and LTE networks, unless you know the mobile network inside and out, as a customer you likely won't be able to troubleshoot the network anyways.

Now you're right on another aspect, is that additional complexity is a pain, and can make troubleshooting more difficult, but there are many steps of complexity in a mobile network, far beyond this. If this works in the majority of cases (and the claims of fall through do work), then there is a massive upside to this type of product.

So one additional hop in the complexity of the 3GPP standards and associated equipment, than on top of that with a carrier grade NAT, a firewall, a cache, and perhaps an IDS system or two, and you've already got many potential places for failure. I think we just need to understand that these systems are complex, and try and understand and build them as robustly as we can, while offering the best customer experience possible. And ensuring that as problems are found that they're correctly addressed.

Anyways, I think it's an interesting approach to a problem that affects many users, assuming the requisite due diligence is done and that the equipment operates as advertised.

fMRI I suppose. As far as I know, even if you have all neuron mapping of human brain, you could not achieve basic intelligence as brain constantly alter with these connections and their strengths. Even if you know all the connections, neuron firing types and representation of information over the network would create a big question for you.
The hostility between users and ads and the presentation of ads as a penalty for no-charge use must have been borne from the 'make money while you sleep' mentality. Google ads are obnoxious and often try to trick you into clicking fake download buttons to take who 'who knows where?'.

Popup blocking is native on most browsers and it was advertisers that were largely responsible for those.

I often find myself wondering. Why don't content providers put some time into pursuing an advertiser with related services to the content or of likely interest to the viewers and 'make a deal' to present their products or services? And likewise, people wanting to advertise can approach related content providers. They can present the 'ad' as an equal part of the content and no adblocking apps will sort it out.

Maybe they can use promo codes available within the website to receive a deal of some sort. Who knows?

I'm looking forward to more straight forward and honest forms of advertising that I hope will emerge when things like google's adsense etc start to falter due to adblocking.
Fascinating. Do physicists generally believe this? The idea that both the infinite future and the infinite past are all encoded into any snapshot of the universe is blowing my mind.

My layperson's understanding of QM always gave me the impression that it does the opposite: that it gives non-determinism a place to "hide," so-to-speak. My impression was that religious believers could use QM to argue that their unseen God, for example, does actually have a physically plausible mechanism by which he/it could intervene in the physical world. But if I'm understanding this theory correctly, unless God is a physical thing, there is no way for God or any other supernatural force to affect the physical world without itself being physical.

This theory also would seem to deny the existence of free will.
I half-expected a single word article with the word "no".
Fascinating. May I ask, how does one predict the behavior of an electron without using probability amplitudes?

I'm extremely interested, and the question isn't meant as anything but an inquiry. Finding a gap in one's knowledge is one of the more exciting aspects of life.
Well, yes, but no one is suggesting that making a single large buy on one particular day - any day - and no other investments at all after that, is a sound strategy.

Considering that the time period you're talking about saw: the Dust Bowl, the rise of Fascism, a global conflict on a scale never before seen, industrial genocide, and the start of the Atomic Age and with it the threat of nuclear war and the annihilation of our species... the fact that a 20 year-old could have made the insane investment choice you've presented, and still managed to break even by the age of 45, is actually quite remarkable.

(And I'll just ignore that you've not accounted for dividends.)
As a developer it seems I am subordinate and I am not privy to any business decisions or direction which is information that is not communicated, and we are often not consulted.

You called me :) Anyway, installing GitLab should take under 5 minutes on a fresh Ubuntu 14.04 server with https://about.gitlab.com/downloads/

And then you can set a daily nightly cron for:

Don't forget to take snapshots of your server for backups.

Things like suburbs and consumerism were natural, but the reinforcement of that image as the ideal was effective for government that wanted stable citizens, and corporations that wanted predictable consumers. Still works - I didn't think I needed an iPhone 6 until I got one.
This sort of course isn't for medical school. Maybe undergrad, but to-be doctors have enough on their plate without focusing on the blank areas of scientific knowledge. Once you at a professional school the time for fostering curiosity is long gone. If you;ve dedicated much of your life to a subject then you are already curious.

I hesitate to say such a course could be useful at the highschool level. It would certainly encourage independent leaning and humble many subjects. But it would also become political. It's a fine line between teaching the limits of biological knowledge and preaching intelligent design.

I think the point here is not that the limits of knowledge are not know, but that the focus of course work often stops at what is know. If you are training future experts you should spend the vast majority of the time focusing on the interesting questions that don't have answers right now. The realm of the 'textbook' known is so small for many scientific domains that in an ideal world it would be relegated to summer reading (yes, I'm implying one should read most if not all of that 800 page textbook, or many curated sections from it).

Either your company has a bad culture, or your Product Manager doesn't believe in a collaborative process or you are not working for a small enough company. :-)
The MIT & Harvard medical school and CS had a joint project called something like the Brain initiative to collect that combining results from:

- inferences of neuron interactions from electronic wiring individual neurons in mice brains;

- fMRI and tFMI (a mathematical extension that associates area that are activated one after the other) on live humans;

- scanning ultra-thin slices (volunteer human brain donor) and using that for an neuron-to-synapse complete map of at least one brain. Both the slicing technology and the AI to re-combine images into not just a 3D model, but a complete connectron are pretty mind-blowing achievements.

If you combine that to the possible impact in AI and medical learnings on how things like degenerescence, you can imagine why it ends up feeling far more ambitious than the Manhattan project.
They certainly won't be threatening your job any time soon. We won't be educating a new generation of programmers when 80% of users' primary computing device is a phone.

I tried learning lisp with SLIME and I hated it so much (especially compared to Visual Studio) that switched to notepad++ and running SBCL in my console. Eventually I lost interest in lisp, id like to get back to it, but SLIME has really left a bad impression on me.

Well put.

Also related: there are similar articles around lamenting the effects of Cuba's opening on the pristine beaches. There are plenty of places in Cuba that might see new tourist activity where once there wasn't enough demand to build anything. Intrepid travelers can currently get there and enjoy the feeling of being transported back in time -- that will presumably be lost. Absent in this line of thinking is how badly Cubans want those jobs, and how much better their lives may get.

Victorians once rationalized their treatment of colonial subjects by arguing that the "noble savage" is purer, and better, than the industrial Westerner -- that they should be spared the need to toil in the muck like the modern man in England when it would be more virtuous to maintain their simpler lifestyles. "Oh no, they'll get addicted to Instagram like the rest of us, they'll stop playing cards!" seems like the same sentiment to me.

Psychological effects of Internet use
Let's see if Cobra Effect will kick in.
As opposed to a sandboxed device? Yes. Someone who wants the freedom to write code, install VMs, test browsers, compile C, you name it, no, they do _not_ want a little sandboxed device. The college student at Starbucks typing a term paper? sure.
Analog computing by ascribing meaning to motion, and cognizant of directions (in this case); while the bar may be 'just sitting there', an embedded device within, imbued with a human way ('intelligence') of 'reasoning' about lateral movements would be able to support decision making.
Take another analogous case of a twig moving in a brook: the twig doesn't 'need to know' the parameters of water flow in a brook as humans do, to determine which way to turn and tumble as it meanders through the water; it need not care about 'calculations' of water pressure, the topology of the ground beneath, obstructions in its path, spin induced by local eddy currents and what not to merrily cruise along; from a human perspective, an immense amount of computation (should) be involved.
Yet, as the water rolls along, equations of continuity needn't be solved, no moments need be calculated, as pure physical properties and forces do the trick.
Lot to learn from analog computing: digital computing is after all, a subset of it at the electronic level, could one say? :-)
Requirements keep management controlled, exposing them to the concept that change has cost (manager here).
This is great. I've been out of the Common Lisp world for several years and stuff has really changed since.

If any Apple developer is reading this, I also added a radar for this #22431244

This is very strange. Here at work, we already detected that this will force users to get to the "legacy interface" instead of being directed to the main website.

I hope this is a mistake, because this might cause a lot of problems.

This also might be Apple experimenting on improving privacy or making UA Strings less unique. Any other ideas?

> What else would you have us expect?

I wouldn't expect unsubstantiated claims that have no basis in reality to be stated as plain fact, as in:

> the trend over a decade or more will always be "up".

This statement is demonstrably falsifiable since we've had several decades where the inflation-adjusted returns of the stock market are negative.

> Anything that would make that untrue would make your investment balance unimportant.

I'm sorry, but reframing your false statement in terms of a false dichotomy (the either the U.S. stock market is going up, or your investments are worthless) does not make things right. The double-negative rule doesn't apply here.
I imagine that other things like WiFi usage, disk usage, and possibly even port usage could be factored in as well.

Here is why it's not a stretch:

The CIA and other TLAs have long contracted with PR firms for propaganda work. PR firms actively court this business.

PR firms now sell astroturfing-as-a-service. How likely is it that they haven't sold this service to their government clients?

The same goes for the whole consent-manufacturing industry.
As someone that volunteer to share computer literacy to kids, I can assure you that kids are underestimated by a big margin. I saw a lot of kids adsorbing concepts more easily than some adults. I'm not obviously talking about Monads; but the concepts are still fundamental to programming. Kids can get sufficient results to do something on their own and to really enjoy it.

The thing that I see most, and in this activity, the thing that displease me most is: parents that work as programmers and they pretend that their children must be programmers too. They bring them because they tried in all ways to make them interested and didn't succeed. One parent, a programmer, was worried with the quality of the teaching and wanted to be present a day. After the end of the meeting(I like to call them meeting. Kids see school as prison rather than joy, and I don't want to make them feel uneasy) the programmer seemed pleased of the experience and made a praise about the kids being happy and interested. He told me that he would send his son, in the hope that this time he would listen and asked about the price. I told him the truth and true nature of that meeting: they are all kids that really wanted it: When I am the new batch I usually try to talk of other things and wait something that makes me happy: a kid asking me when we begin. This is the clear sign that there is something in the room that is happy to learn. The programmer looked a bit puzzled and I told him my opinion. Are you sure that this is what your son want? If you imprison your son in something, he will totally hate it, wasting an activity that he could have enjoyed at a later time. I finished the speech saying that I'm doing it for free. My reward is making them have a good time and hopefully, giving them a better future.
Kids in front of other people can have problems and feel anxiety. So, Carmack, I'm worried if having an entry bar of all the Internet watching your son, could be a burden too high. Are we sure that this is what he wants? Is he ready to compete?

Kids are precious, they will be the mark of our efforts and their mirror. I think that your son should enjoy as much as he can what he is doing and be kept away from the Internet consumerism for now ...

Have a nice day.
I just started making a serious effort to learn CL (finally, after having it "on the list" for over a decade) a few nights ago. I'd already been an Emacs user, but not an Emacs "power user". Still, it took me 20 minutes or so to get Emacs, SBCL and Slime all setup. Once it was all working, I just had to spend a few minutes learning a few key combinations I'd not bothered much with before (like how to move between frames, and then the Slime specific ones for compiling and loading Lisp files), and I was off to the races.

Now granted, I already knew my way around Emacs a little (emphasis on little), but I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to get up and running with that environment. And now I have even more motivation to truly master Emacs. Personally, I'm pretty happy with the state of the Common Lisp Ecosystem, approaching it as Lisp beginner (but not a programming beginner). shrug

About the current Tech Stocks situation
Every spanish speaker can understand and speak Neutral Spanish. The one taught in schools, universities and spoken in dubbed movies. In the same way every english speaker can understand and speak Hollywood English.

In a way, the dialects of spanish are even more regular than the dialects of english. For instance, the spelling is the same of everybody (regulated by The Real Academia Español) and almost everything is spelling phonetically, so the changes in pronunciation are quite regular. If you understand written spanish you can master any pronunciation just by learning a few regular rules.

There are differences in tenses and plenty of slang, but this can be sidestepped by speaking formally (where the are no variation in tenses and there is little difference in vocabulary).

Wow. I think you missed the point there. He is extolling the virtues of Racket and Dr. Racket. I agree with him, and I think it needs a lot more evangelizing.

My son is 6 tomorrow and is also using Dr. Racket to learn programming. I post on twitter and Facebook about it. I'm proud of my son. But more than that, I'm amazed at Racket as an environment for learning and teaching programming.

Ask HN: Creating multiple DB's by hand for use in WebApp?
Has anyone ever needed data from a source which doesn't provide it in a machine-readable form? Do people here have any suggestions as to the legal ramifications of putting a collection of various industries' data to use in a context such data was never intended to facilitate?

Use Case:

Motorized Window Treatment Industry: Some vendors have their own db in place for use by their own configuration software- don't know if we'd be permitted to use in our own configurator which covers not only that vendor's parts, but also (sometimes undocumented) uses of parts which interface with each other, depending on the specific combo of parts in use.

Our configurator app would take into consideration all the players in the industry, whereas theirs only helps with their own sales.

I'm imagining it may be beneficial to start our app in something like a 'learning' mode where stuff that wasn't as clear as day can be identified as 'compatible' with maybe a star rating of how well the particular interfacing between selected components, similarly to the WineHQ application database does for Linux computers.
