I guess you are allowed to participate in class without, in a similar way to how you are allowed to participate in class without the textbook.

"they should clarify if they own the servers or rent them to an US cloud company (Amazon / MS etc)."

I think that was a grammatical question. As in, they don't rent to AWS or MS, but from them. (not that they actually do either)
I foresaw this happening when the Snowden leaks broke out, but I am still surprised to see it come so soon. With so much data in their hands, it's not hard to predict that they would want to boil it down to a simple numerical score. Google does it with Page Rank and it decides everything with regard to search engine visibility.

If the gov. took a log of someone's search engine queries, social networking posts, travels (GPS phone location logs), purchases and her list of friends it would be pretty easy to rate this person according to various criteria. They would need to have a dataset of people and their real world actions in order to train a classifier to predict scores for people based on just their digital traces.

I don't know if it would work though, until tested. Maybe there is no correlation between what people post and what they do.

The counterpoint is that people could use this same system to rate their actions before they act. Imagine a plugin that would warn you before you post some opinion on social networks or add someone to your friend list that it would decrease your rating by 10 points(!) Then you could select which actions you want to do and avoid reducing your score. That would make the rating system meaningless.

The same system could be applied to rank people for their support for equality and freedom. It would make it hard for some to pose as freedom lovers when they act in a way that promotes discrimination.

But either way, we will all act like politicians during political campaigns. Everything people would say would be weighed for the purpose of getting what they desire.

And it doesn't stop here. The bubbling effect in Google, FB and other news feeds would be used to select which stories to show in order to manipulate everyone according to someone else's interests. This slowly morphs into a kind of soft dictatorship, where you are controlled without even realizing it. Even if it wouldn't work on each individual, it would work on average.

That's why Facebook has become so important to elections lately. There is no political candidate that can ignore the FB tribe and its effects. It makes or breaks a campaign, and makes Zuck into a kind of huge power broker. But if a state wants to get its way no matter what (doing what China does now), FB would be a small child compared to the real world consequences they could unleash based on scoring.

You're right, I admit I was weasel-wording there a bit, but that's because of hurry (as I'm again on HN procrastinating before life-or-death (for me) deadline).

By 'a lot of people' I meant the many people - from some of friends and colleagues to some members of various communities I participate in, HN included - that seem to be very convinced that total deregulation is the right thing to do and the market will turn benevolent if you remove all interference. I understand that there are subproblems for which deregulation indeed seems to be the right way to go; personally, I try to evaluate things on case-by-case basis. But it seems obvious that total, absolute deregulation would be disastrous and yet there are real people who seem to actually want exactly that absolute.

Violating property rights is more acceptable than regulation? I suspect that's not a widely held perspective.

I, for one, really appreciate that things that belong to me continue to belong to me unless I sell them or don't pay my debts. I would accept fairly onerous regulation long before I would give up what I consider to be a fundamental benefit of not living in a failed state.
So, say you accomplish that. You create a calculator that you can sell for (let's say) $40, that blows the TI-84 out of the water. I believe in you, I think you could do that.

And say you're successful, and get some traction against the network effects discussed in the article. You start to threaten TI's money printer.

What do you suppose that TI will do? They charge $140 for the calculators, but because they can, not because they have to. So what will you do when they drop their price to $30? Or $20? Because they can, and that's why nobody bothers making any big moves in the market. It looks like TI would be easy to undercut on cost, but trust me—no matter how cheaply you can make your calculator, they can make their cheaper.
The more powerful question is what are the tasks for which computers can replace people.
While we're fantasizing, maybe the world will stop typing in qwerty, and we'll be able to buy Dvorak keyboards at the corner store.

I know. I've heard this speech before. I can't compete on price at that point, but then I've won anyway - TI is no longer gouging the market. I don't think that they'd immediately shift, either, which gives me time to establish a foothold and keep the market competitive.
Uh, yeah....firms that specialize in security have a hard time getting all the kinks out. There's no way I would ever trust an app made by journalists to protect other journalists' security, especially if it were closed-source. This doesn't have anything to do with the stereotype of journalists not being computer programmers. It's the notion that a journalists' operational security "just needs an app"...or even, that journalists need their own special app -- even though most of the features described in Reporta would be useful to just about anyone. And by targeting mainly journalists, you have a much, much smaller user base to test it and give feedback on.

The most successful app-by-journalists-for-journalists is probably Django, but that became big by not tying itself to newsroom conventions.

edit: It's hard to think of anything "designed specifically for a journalist" that is best-in-class. This includes note-taking and photography apps.
I loved "Reinventing Organizations" as well. It's interesting because some of the Teal ways of doing things rubbed me the wrong way because they felt too "touchy-feely" and I thought that my coworker would never go for this. I tried to have enough self-awareness to realize that maybe that's how people stuck in the Orange way of doing things feel about Green practices. Like you, I would love to hear from people who are working in a Teal environment.

If you're interested in other books that talk about the future of work I would recommend Creativity, Inc by Ed Catmull (about how Pixar works) and Work Rules! by Laszlo Bock (about how Google HR works). They're both fascinating insights into how two modern companies try to do their best work.

Would love some recommendations if you have any as well.

No. The vast majority of college students I know don't cook. They either eat in dining halls or get take-out.
I expect biodiesel fuels pollute more when they are burned (and they have some downsides in the production side as well).

(Someone around here was driving his old Mercedes using leftover fries cooking oil from a local McDonald's. He had to stop it, but not due to pollution, but for tax reasons. The government really hates losing that revenue.)

Not sure what your understanding of China is, but I want to correct your assumption of (1).

Most Chinese youth arent rebellious in any substantial way. They've grown up in an environment that is strongly Confucian, and there isn't really this "be what you want to be, break free, live life, freedom of youth" narrative that we have in most of the developed world. Kids are very very unrebellious and I doubt there would grow a culture of 'showing off' your bad credit score.

On the 2nd point, I'm not sure either. The political element of this is likely to be a small factor, not a prime one. The government tends to be very specific these days about targeting people who are activists rather than cracking down on anyone who says anything. Finally, people in China are generally used to this kind of BS, and whether consciously or through 'brainwashing', they don't tend to randomly spout political positions or anti-government rhetoric unless they know they are on safe ground. I don't mean it won't be an oppressive, inefficient, opaque and abused system, just that it won't result in millions being locked out of loans or the economy suffering that much.
Dead media is not (or rather, is no longer) commoditized. (By dead media I don't mean something that is vaguely less popular than something newer but is still produced, like newspapers, but instead something that has been superceded entirely, like Qipu or the radio-iconoscope.)

I am not so sure. The thing is that computers are already very very fast for most of the tasks we have for them. So fast, in fact, that most of the excess compute power nowadays goes into completely avoidable inefficiency.

As long as more compute power was effectively free, at least for users, with each new generation of computers, this was a tradeoff that people were willing to make, as it wasn't really much of a tradeoff. I think this was Myhrvold's law: "Software is like a gas, it expands to fill its container". Once the container doesn't expand so freely, the economic pressures you mention may act on software to take out some of the bloat.

Precisely that. Over here (Finland), modern diesels have heaters to compensate for that (so, because the engine does not produce excess heat, the heater burns some fuel to generate heat).

The UK models may be stripping off the heaters for cost. I hear people don't even use winter tyres in Britain...
Says who? Our best evidence says that muscle cells live for our whole life as well, only increasing/decreasing in size in response to exercise. Liver can regenerate but I'm not aware of turnover or a death checkpoint for them. Same with the other solid organs.

We've got lots of cells that are turning over continually, but plenty of long lived structures as well.

Also, if it's related to cell turnover, you would expect cells which replicate through our life to have higher numbers of mutations compared with our initial zygotic state due to the potential for mutation at each point

The "FP for multi-core" trope is a red-herring, at least so far. Yes, immutability makes parallelizing easier. It also makes things in general so much more expensive that we're still net-negative by a large margin.

For example, Simon Peyton Jones gave a talk[1] about Data Parallel Haskell, which after many years of development was still slower on 6 cores than C on a single core.

> People want to be managed!

I would interpret that somewhat differently, I'd take the offer, for example.

A long time ago as a high school student I stacked bags of sidewalk salt on pallets. The only thing keeping me out of toilet plunging, manual labor, and being yelled at by customers over the phone is my job title / position so eliminating them has very little appeal to me. If I was at the bottom of the hierarchy, sure, elimination of the hierarchy sounds great; but in the middle/top of a technical hierarchy... elimination doesn't sound so great.

I also expect to live a couple more years, and I have children relying on me to put food on the table, pay for schooling and health care, etc. Plus lets face it, I have no great desire to live under a freeway overpass myself. How do I explain at my next job interview that two jobs ago I was more or less a software dev but my most recent job title was ninja, but I'm just as good as the other 9 out of 10 applicants you have who were software devs in their most recent job. Sure you were, sure you were (insert sound of resume hitting trash can)

Another interesting interpretation is its like joining a cult. Self depreciation of myself and my career combined with permanently removing myself from the greater employable economy... So they're passing around the kool aide, smells kinda like almonds, eh, I think I'll pass, this is finally one step too far.

A numerical credit score is only one data point in a lending decision, albiet an important and useful summary one.

In mortgage lending they call this concept the "5 C's" of credit: character, capital, capacity, conditions and collateral. Character speaks to credit history. The credit scores are driven by "tradeline" payment history but lenders can independently verify that information- you disclose all your liabilities at application anyway, they can independently verify them, their history, and base an underwriting decison and price accordingly.

Credit scores are not necessary for competition in the loan market - lending has existed as long as commerce has. They do facilite faster lending descisons and reduce the processing and underwriting workload for lenders.

Historically (at least in America) banks absolutely have not been willing to lend to all comers who could repay and credit scores have probably served to equalize access to credit for more people in a way that wouldn't have happened without them, but they aren't strictly necessary to make or get a loan or even have a market for them. It's just more work for the lenders.
Indeed. Imagine the big data Joe McCarthy.
