I'm not sure if this was addressed in the Credit Suisse report, but these kind of comparisons can be very misleading. The problem is that a lot of people in the bottom 10% have net negative assets (every fresh grad with college loan debt for eg). This skews the distributions, making the wealthy seem richer than they really are.

Suppose A has 50$, B has 30$ and C has -20$ (owes a creditor).
A seems to control ~82% of all the wealth, but B is actually in much better shape than that number suggests.
One addition in terms of how Trek becomes great, from a behind-the-camera perspective:

7. Results from a tension between competing visions between writers and creators. Examples: TNG was campy and unwatchable, mostly, until Michael Piller took over as head writer in the third season and started focusing on characters and more traditional drama. Piller had an inclination to be too soap opera-y but was held in check by Roddenberry's presence and later, spirit. DS9 was the result of the tension between Ira Steven Behr and Berman aided by Ronald D Moore, and worked well until it became the all-war-all-the-time series. Voyager is the result of Berman, Braga and Jeri Taylor running wild without any counteracting force. Enterprise is the same (minus Taylor).
Definitely need to plan a trip to see one or two of these with a few friends.

I'd love to see something like this done with the Occulus or some similar VR platform, though I doubt it'd have the thrill of the actual experience.
Not so much. What is important is that you have a concrete metric for success, and that the metric be rapidly responsive to work input. This has two effects:

1.) You can see what is, and is not effective work. Thus you are more likely to engage in time-efficient work behaviours.

2.) You get a sense of accomplishment from progress according to the metric. This makes work performed more rewarding, thus increasing motivation.

In my experience, if you just log/report work done without having a trackable progress metric the benefits aren't nearly so significant.

Your anecdotal evidence is hardly the norm.
I didn't like Dark Matter initially, but it won me over by the end of the first season. I think it felt more Sci-Fi as the show went on.

I will fully admit that if there was any other legit Sci-Fi on TV I might not care as much about Dark Matter, but since there is slim pickings in that genre I await season 2.
Karius | Menlo Park, CA | ONSITE, Full-time | Software (Full Stack), Computational Biology, Wet-lab Automation, Machine Learning

We are a team of crazy biologists, engineers, data scientists and clinicians on a mission to change forever the way infectious diseases are diagnosed and treated. We face incredibly interesting challenges in software engineering, machine learning and molecular biology, as we push the limits of diagnostics and genomic technologies.

We're hiring software engineers for front-end, infrastructure, devops, bioinformatics and machine learning. Join us on the ground-level for this exciting journey to shape our technology, product and company culture.

If you're an engineer who's willing to learn about biological problems, or have experience in next-generation sequencing, feel free to contact us: greg@kariusdx.com

We currently use Python, Scala, Bash, and some Ruby, and have growing codebases in Haskell. If building the future of bioinformatics and wetlab automation in Haskell appeals to you, please get in touch!

Some of the things we’re looking for in people (not all required):

• Comfortable and familiar with backend and frontend technologies (MVC, Postgres / ORMs, React)

• Experience with building infrastructure and devops (AWS, Puppet / Chef / Ansible, etc)

• Able to glide across the stack as needed

• Algorithms development background and strong understanding of practical implementation issues

• Deep understanding of probabilistic modeling, statistics and data structures

Potential responsibilities:

• Designing and implementing robust and scalable compute infrastructure on top of AWS

• Creating pipelines for analyzing, storing and visualizing complex genomic data.

• Research, implementation, and testing of new analysis methods in computational genomics, in particular related to sequence analysis and metagenomics.
NYU Ada/ED was an interpreter, and per http://www.adahome.com/Resources/Compilers/Ada-Ed.html:

Apart from the 100-odd tests of ACVC 1.11 that Ada/Ed failed, the major deficiency of the system is that, being an interpreter, it does not implement most representation clauses, and thus does not support systems programming close to the machine level.

So it sounds suitable for getting your feet wet, but not "industrial strength", and not useful for a lot of the things we want to do.

As for seL4's "ecosystem", well, it's certainly not polished like AdaCore's offerings (or so I assume, which for things like this is very iffy), but something I do believe I can clone, and seeing as I plan to start with a seL4 port, it qualifies for me.
They are definitely putting it on TV. This is like when games are advertised "Only on Playstation" when there's also a PC version, since it's a console exclusive. They just really want people to subscribe to their streaming service instead of Netflix, so their app will be the exclusive (legal) streaming destination.
He was a writer, but Ira Stephen Behr was the showrunner.
Right, this is not the recipe for fair market prices or housing affordability.

This is a recipe for increasing wealth equality, an abstract statistical value the press tells us we should be outraged about.

You hire an extremely smart, talented individual with some ramp up time, or pass on them for someone less talented (and less smart?) with less ramp up time.

I can't speak to your current needs when hiring someone, but you're mistaken if you think I was assuming they can pick up web dev with no mistakes made.

Could you say something about why familiarity with European-style games is relevant to distributed systems and applied ML?
A TNG episode was censored in the UK for about a decade too, where the character Data talks about the "Irish Reunification of 2024" as an example where terrorism as a strategy worked. JJTrek doesn't need to worry about censors there's nothing of substance in love triangles set in space.

As for relying on tech deus-ex-machina TNG writers used to send off scripts to physics professors and have them fill in gaps about nanotechnology and other unknown late 80s technology. They were replaced in Voyager by studio cronies which is why everything is solved by "re-polarizing the deflector dish".
The same logic applies to management, wouldn't it? So a middle manager should not be punished, if he incriminates a higher level manager.
Until what level is it ok to get a free pass incriminating your boss?

People should be encouraged to come forward _before_ they do something illegal.

If you reward lower level employees for doing it after the fact, the rational thing for them to do is to continue acting illegally, as if the thing blows up they will be bailed out, and if they don't they might still suffer the consequences of it (i.e. get in bad relations with their boss).

I am not saying there is the same level of responsibility, but there should be _some_.
There's not other franchises that get Star Trek money and some room to make mistakes.

I watch way too much TV but am finally getting sick of it, the commercial requirements end up favoring safe stuff.

"It's regulation that got SF into this problem."

Unfortunately, you don't give me much to go off here. I consider myself somewhat moderate where it comes to regulation, though that's probably because, as a programmer who hangs out on HN, I interact with a very tech-ish libertarian crowd. In short, I do see an important role for regulation of industry, housing, and so forth. I also do tend to agree that a lot of regulations are onerous and harmful, but I don't nod in agreement when someone simply says "government" or "regulation", as if the problem has now been adequately identified and analyzed. I do prefer that people actually explain what regulations caused this problem and how, and consider what problems might exist in the absence of regulation.

So… if you are pointing out that SF has caused a problem with anti-grown measures, I'd generally agree. If you are pointing out that that peninsula towns have contributed to this problem, I'd overwhelming agree, the behavior from places like Mountain View has been pretty shocking.

On the other hand, if you are telling me that zoning is obsolete and that the concept of residential neighborhoods in urban areas, where residents of some neighborhoods trade their right to run a hotel out of their house in exchange for for a legally enforced expectation that they won't have to live next to a house suddenly converted into a hotel - if you're telling me that regulation is the problem, then it's unlikely I'd agree with you, though I am all ears.

It’s clear we need government intervention that punishes those that profited richly from the collusion between government and big business. I would recommend letting industry draft any legislation intended to fix this problem.
> To offer a slightly extreme example, I'd consider a recently minted surgeon with $300k in loans, a mortgage, and a $500k base salary to be considerably wealthier than the debt-free small-town auto mechanic making $35k.

Is this your perception or is it reality? If your hypothetical surgeon overleverages himself to the point where he has less on paper than the auto mechanic, his financial position sounds very brittle. What if there is a large unexpected expense? Like $50k to clean up a mercury spill...

DS9 had to deal with the "grey" areas of civilization and military organizations in the latter seasons and they did it very well, as well as what happens to society when it has been griped by fear (e.g. shapeshifter agents on earth).

Enterprise started kinda ok (not great) but then 9/11 happened (which happened technically like a week or 2 before the 1st season aired, but it was too fresh to touch) which meant that it had to deal with that thing with it's very own 9/11 in the 3rd season.

With the 4th season they pretty much went into "concept-album" fan service type of self containing arcs and it was pretty damn freaking good, they brought allot of excellent talent specifically Manny Coto which pretty much made the biggest fan service production once he was made the executive producer and the exclusive writer of the show.
With maybe 1 or 2 exceptions i put every episode of Season 4 of Enterprise in my personal hall of fame both in terms of Star Trek and general Scifi episodes.

Episodes like In a Mirror, Darkly, These Are the Voyages, United are what Star Trek should look like and they had a full season of them.
I would love to here about more teams than the ones I mention here that have done this. We've been finding tons of folks just in Seattle and I know there must be dozens of stories.

The Torte Botnet: A SpamBot Investigation [pdf]
The problem that the FPGAs are trying to solve here, sequence alignment, is the most CPU intensive part of a bioinformatics pipeline, but it still takes very few computation cycles per byte of input/output. It's basically bound by the time to seek to random spots in DRAM, after input/output is fully saturated, which isn't hard to do with 40Gbps network cards.

There's little to gain from making this far faster, either, as the computation costs are still approximately rounding error compared to the cost of the data generation.

It's fun to think about, but there's little to win from this all at the moment. Once sequencing costs drop another 50-100x, it will become more practical.

OK I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt an assume you don't use Linux much... But both of your examples are not accurate.

For your first example ctrl double swipe on my trackpad works pretty much everywhere and ctrl +/- works everywhere except my terminal where ctrl-shift +/- does the job.

As for your second. This is not a common use case that any non-technical person would even think of trying. If you needed to I would suggest ignoring jackd (whatever that is) and using the gui for pulse audio control.

My understanding is only US citizens can go through certain clearance/background checks required by our clients. Although perhaps it's just folks with a valid right-to-work? I don't know for certain, I'll amend it to be "valid right to work in US" and clarify for clearance reasons.
Hi guys, author here, if you have any questions I'll around to answer them here.
My suggestion of a wildly different approach was to more or less replicate what NICTA et. al. did with seL4 with your own project. There's also the Coq ecosystem, which includes a verified free for non-commercial use C compiler.

When watching Star Trek, I wonder what kind of science fiction the characters would read in the 24th century. I think 64th century would certainly cover that. :)

Far too many characters are (conveniently) interested in Shakespeare or 20th century culture.
What we mean in common language by intelligence may not be a single property. It might be more analogous to smell than temperature. An inherently multi-dimensional phenomena that can't be accurately described by a scalar measure.
