According to Wikipedia, the story's a little bit different -- the Reagan campaign didn't ask to use it as a song, the Reagan reelection campaign actively sought to get Springsteen to endorse Reagan, pushed in large part by George Will, who had also penned a column in which he praised Springsteen as an embodiment of (conservative-friendly) American values based on Will's interpretation of the song (which did not precisely ignore everything but the "Born in the USA" line, but is if anything all the more strained for acknowledging the rest of the song but still holding on to its interpretation.)

The same reason relatively few people AirBnB their homes. There will be an administration overhead of at least some kind - who cleans the car? What happens when someone throws up in it? And so on.

I'd say, why will people buy their own robotic cars at all? At least in major cities anyway - you could buy a membership to a program (ala ZipCar, car2go, etc) and just have "a car" on tap. The downsides of ownership (maintenance, etc) will be gone.
Rupert recognizes there are multiple factors to climate changes. Personally what worries me is jet planes burning ozone (2 parts oxygen) which is why they get much better fuel mileage the higher they fly up.
>What I think is the same philosophically though, is ceding the power over fundamental activities/interactions for functionality.

I'm not sure what this means. If you're referring to the fact that groups are usually required to make everyday society work, that's not a useful example of ceding power. Everyone at the train company has essentially welded their power together in a Captain Planet or Voltron sort of deal to make rail transport work, but that doesn't make anyone else less powerful. It makes the train people highly interdependent both on each other and on everyone else to use the trains to go to the farms or the medicine factory or whatever and make the other parts of society work. They can't tell everyone else to sod off because they've got some magic spell that makes the trains work. The trains are run by regular chumps without any magic, and any other regular chump could be made to replace any one of them. Even if they were special, their special-ness wouldn't make them any less dependent on anybody else since they still just run the trains. By contrast, the Minds are totally required for the Culture to maintain their shiny post-scarcity status quo, no human effort could ever replace the Minds, and the Minds are not dependent on the efforts of any humans. The Culture's people have actually ceded power over all sorts of everyday stuff to the Minds. The Minds could tell everyone else to stuff it if they wanted to, and nobody would be able to do anything about it.

>When real AGI comes, if it comes well, then it has the possibility to look like the pinnacle of functionality, just like our tools are now. So it is definitely exponentially more powerful, but for the average person it will look like magic, much like most technology does now to the under-informed.

>...and given that we would have built it, it won't be black magic either - just so totally far removed from the average person that it will look like magic.

How much it resembles magic to the under-informed is irrelevant. The under-informed aren't uninformable, they just haven't been sufficiently informed yet. I know lots of people that are convinced they can't be sailors because spending weeks on a ship just seems totally beyond them, or that they can't be physicists because they had a hard time with calculus in school. It seems to them that those tasks require some ineffable qualities that can only be found in others, but they're wrong. Both calculus and seamanship are challenging to comprehend and highly impressive when applied, but they aren't "unknowable," they're just "unknown." Any given chump could learn to pull them off if they weren't doing something else. It's only unknowable magic if they couldn't ever figure it out, or if no group of people like them working together could ever replicate it themselves.
I never use soft wrap. Code layout communicates meaning, and ought to be created on purpose. Having line length limits is like expecting developers to write comments. The compiler doesn't care, but other human beings do.

The whole argument of the article establishes a false dichotomy. While I'm sure there are some people who can play the role both of the sheep and the literary insiders (as in the author's description), I'm sure most people, like the author, fall somewhere in the middle with their interpretation.

Well, 57 isn't really that great of a number by itself. Especially given their exposure to space is relatively transient (compared to, let's say, Earth-based factors) and that you're looking for relatively rare outcomes (like radiation-based issues), 57 is vastly under-powered.

Where the disparity is a real problem, though, is in the matching. You can't just take a random sampling of men and women, you need the populations to match. Think age, race, marriage status, educational achievement, military experience, etc. With so few women, it's hard to get appropriately-matched comparisons. Hence, from the summary:

>Female NASA space station astronauts are on average 2 years younger than male astronauts. While there were no significant differences in the percentage of male (76%) and female space station astronauts (69%) who were married, a significantly greater percentage of male astronauts had at least one child (67% versus 38%) and overall, men had more children than women. From a professional perspective, female NASA space station astronauts have almost twice as many doctorate-level degrees as their male counterparts (50% versus 28%); conversely male NASA space station astronauts had more military experience (73% versus 39%). Sex and gender differences as well as these social determinants could impact adaptation to spaceflight.

Agreed on the new iTunes and iPhone Music app. I had to re-learn how to shuffle songs, and how to pull up the album of the song that was playing the other day. Extremely non-intuitive and hidden behind 4-5 interactions.

All for the sake of cramming in new paid features that I'll never use - "For You", "New", "Radio", and "Connect". Why Apple? You make enough money from iPhone sales already. Is Apple Radio really going to add that much to your bottom line?
I hate watching video, generally - please just write up your points in an article or blog post. At the very least, post the script you obviously wrote up and read from. This is particularly infuriating for tutorials on how to use/configure a piece of software, especially if it involves running any sh commands. I really don't want to sit there and scrub through the youtube video to try and find the one point I can get the full command on the terminal in a visible, focused area.

That being said, I do occasionally watch Computerphile youtube videos.

strlcpy() always returns the length of the src str, even if it does not fit and gets truncated with a NULL. My hunch is strncpy() and strlcpy() calls were replaced with strlcpy() calls and whatever code where was before to potentially handle the not fitting and not adding a NULL was removed. Then no code was added after to verify it fit. Imagine it just incremented dst by the return value and then called strlcpy() with the next src str to glue together...

EDIT: Or there is no NULL in src and it runs off into an unmapped page calculating the len :D Wow it's just a pretty bad idea for a lot of cases the more I think about it.
Sounds like the employees got screwed over. Why not just pay everyone for all the driving hours they did? Then if you happen to live next to the client you don't get paid for driving you didn't do, and you can get more actual work done too.

The radiation difference was one I was particularly interested in - fielded a question on it at Bio.SE http://biology.stackexchange.com/a/10084/4101 - but it's a good example of why this is important to study. Just as we saw with heart attacks, where females exhibit different signs and symptoms than males, this kind of study can drastically change our expectations as we look toward longer-term space flight.
Hack the north? Waterloo is north?

Contrary to popular belief, not all of Canada is a frozen northern wasteland. Waterloo is further south than 11 US states. It's about as "north" as the south of France (Got to love google maps). Save the north talk and the arctic midnight motif for when you come to UNBC.

The term "hack the north" suggests some effort to deal with uniquely northern problems such as a lack of broadband and poor access to satellites.

Okay sounds good if that is the solution, but if you have 5 nodes and end up with partitions A and B where A has 2 nodes and B has 3 nodes. Couldn't B have enough for a quorum, but still possibly have stale data?
Thanks for that description, it helps me appreciate the practice more. The success of that technique entirely depends on the talent of the writer, apparently, because I've come across a few too many "long form" articles after "longform" became an internet buzzword, and where the writing just seems to alternate between the topic and an unrelated topic in almost an algorithmic fashion, before they are weakly tied together.

Julian Savulescu has two arguments here:

1. Cheaters are going to cheat, and you can't catch everyone, so just allow cheating. ("So what the current system does is enable that, because it places constraints that are impossible to enforce.")

This is a bullshit argument. If something's not completely enforceable (which nothing is), then just forget it. Some people don't pay taxes: dissolve the IRS. Some people commit murder: murder should be legal. You have to draw the line somewhere. People will push or cross the line, you will catch some, and life goes on.

2. Doping in sports should be a test case for human enhancement.

This is a more reasonable argument. I'm not sure it's right, but reasonable people can discuss whether the intent of sport is "measuring personal accomplishment" and "test-bed for medical intervention".

Note that a parallel argument is happening in Formula One: should teams be given more leeway to build cars so innovation occurs as a result of competition.

Unix is fairly uniform

Hahaha.

No.

Compared to Windows, maybe, but in the grand scheme of things it is not. Hence so many research systems like Amoeba, Spring, Sprite, SPIN and even GNU Hurd that tried to create a general overarching metaphor across Unix's not-quite-uniformity.

Plan9 is even more uniform and still not object-oriented.

9P is a transport-agnostic object protocol for representing resources as synthetic file systems. The trick many have with Plan 9 is that they import their prior knowledge of what a "file" is, but in reality Plan 9's concept of a file is quite different from other systems. This is right down to the Plan 9 kernel being a multiplexer for I/O over 9P.

Either way, my point is the "object" metaphor isn't really all that specific. Personally I'd love to see work on functional operating systems, but other than the boring House system, I don't think there's been that many.
If nothing else, the title is "The Road Not Taken", not "The Road Less Traveled". It implies the subject is the road not taken.
I could also make similar arguments for the NCAA, as it builds the skills of many new and young players (far more than will ever play in the professional leagues), providing an indispensable resource for the development of talent and new techniques. In addition the NCAA teams are a valuable part of the colleges they are in.

In truth, I am completely ambivalent as to the value of NCAA; but I do not believe that professors and students have any obligation to be 'loyal' to university research labs, as the universities pay the researchers as little as possible, and would be more than happy to sell the researchers down the river for a small increase in their endowment or government grants.
>Forget to update that 3 after fiddling with the channels? Deadlock

To be fair, how long would that take to debug?

>Forget to unlock a mutex when dealing with shared data?

You'll note there are no mutexes. RAII mutexes are great (although less useful without exceptions). But the entire point of Go's concurrency model ("share by communicating") is that you don't need need to deal with them.

>Use mio if you want goroutine-like efficiency

For a personal project, I would. But will any commercial entity use an unstable, unportable library with a single maintainer for critical functionality in their app? Because that's the concurrent IO situation in Rust, now and for the foreseeable future.

Well the keyboard is the main device I interface with when I am actually using the product (besides the screen, which is just a flat panel). So one could hope that they could at least get that one right.
I suppose you'd need a user interface for authorizing things like that. Ideally, it'd be on the lock screen; show a message which says "New keyboard detected; sign in with that keyboard or click here and sign in with your existing keyboard to enable it". It's extra work, and makes it cross-cut through more modules, but it's hardly insurmountable.

I think this is an area where many English teachers need work. Many English teachers present literary analysis as if it is what they experienced the first time they read a particular work. That may be true in some cases, but often, that opinion formed because it's what the experts in that particular writer say.

English classes, especially at the University level, would be so much more useful if, instead of saying "the boat trip signifies x", professors went into the reasons they believe that. In some cases, it is personal opinion. In other cases, it is personal opinion based on 30 published articles. And, in still other cases, it is their personal opinion because if they believed anything else, they'd be laughed out of conferences.

Ok we can side step the specific examples and I agree with your point. But, at the meta level I still think taxes are generally a better solution independent of policy.

Taxes are much more scalable than subsidies. AKA if A is better for society than B but B is cheaper to produce then taxing B can balance things fairly easily with consumers paying society for the external costs. But, subsidizing A is an unbound cost, adds administrative overhead, and promotes consumption of A and or B.

The downsides of Taxes is there often regressive, but for something like alcohol, pollution, or speeding societal costs are often independent from a persons net worth.
You're conflating the educational and research objectives of universities. Much of the tech industry's disdain for academia stems from negative personal experiences with taking courses at top universities, typically due to a lack of caring on the part of instructors, who are more interested in working on their research (that disdain is then compounded by experiencing the rapid social/economic impact software engineering in the tech industry can have, particularly when compared to the slow progress of academic research). This perspective is understandable, and top universities should hire dedicated instructional faculty for all the lower-level undergrad classes, and leave the researchers to their own devices.

In any case, the presence of undergrad students on campuses has surprisingly little to do with the goings-on of academic research, although they may occur in the same geographic locales and have some common actors. The widespread success of MOOCs (which now seems quite unlikely) would have a negligible impact on academic research.
Haven't read any of the relevant code, but if the new code returns a negative number representing an error, it will decrement the `str` pointer, whereas I'm guessing `simple_strtoul` leaves its `str` pointer alone on error.
I think everybody is entitled to their own opinion. Personally I see nothing wrong with the keyboards and actually prefer them to some regular keyboards. I can still type ~100+ wpm and the keys aren't particularly missing anything I need.
Yes.

It's mentioned in the comments.
"A 64GB flash storage chip is more expensive than a 16GB flash chip, but it's not anywhere near $100 more expensive, so pushing people up the chain increases not just revenue but profit margins.
[...]
This highlights the fact that the margin-boosting potential of the 16GB iPhone 6S doesn't serve any actual purpose."

That's not the strongest logic. If the 64GB one has higher margins, adding a 16GB option gives buyers the opportunity to go for a lower margin product.

I think the reason the 16 GB version exists is to give money-constrained buyers an option to buy an iPhone without giving less money-constrained, but money-conscious, buyers a reason to also go for the cheaper model.
I agree entirely, but I think it would go a lot easier for everybody if literary interpretation were presented as personal, possibly-rewarding approaches to a text rather than authoritative assertion of fact.

My humanities-professor friends today are very good at taking the former approach, at least when talking with me. But the latter was definitely how literature was taught in all of the schools I went to. The green light on the dock was X. Or in another class, it was clearly Y. Or, in a third, it was X, and Y, and Z, and Ƶ and Ź and Ž and ζ, at which point the explanation seemed to be more akin to improvisational poetry about a Rorschach blot than any serious attempt at unpacking a metaphor or understanding an author. But it was still framed as authoritative analysis, which mainly made me think that the teachers were not so clear on what actual facts were.

Nobody builds a fence for no reason. Keep in mind that he isn't implying that it was a good reason, just that there's a reason why it's there and you should understand that reason before taking it down.

I can't get to completely agree with it, but the completely opposite idea that you should just not care is stupid.
I imagine the original reasoning was mostly due to the notion that "it is against the competitive spirit and destroys the integrity of the game". Honestly that is still the best reasoning for banning doping in my opinion. Maybe it is just personal opinion but doping in baseball almost destroyed the sport because of a tarnished reputation. If I knew doping was allowed in say gymnastics for example I wouldn't watch it at all, it would become boring. Sure, I am likely overvaluing the effects of doping in gaining an advantage but I think the biggest problem is that of attribution.

How do I correctly attribute skill to a player I know is doping, or a sport that is full of doping? If we ever get to the point where sports radio is filled with discussions about "Well, this guy is really good but Jordan didn't have XZ-87 injected into his body so you know how can we compare them?" then I think the integrity of sports is simply dead. Maybe sports become something else and we are all fine with it but in my opinion doping destroys the integrity and spirit of sports and that is still the best argument against it.
