> This seems like a nonsensical statement in 2015. What basis do you have for it? Most people hand over control of their data without a care in the world.

Have you watched the news lately? At least in Europe that is most definitely what users want and what the laws are giving them the right to and the courts are enabling them to do.

Unless of course, you are trying to derail this argument by meaning whenever something isn't saved on a hard drive in my safe it's out of my control. Which would be complete BS and irrelevant to the discussion (which is about "is Google trying to give control over their data to the users").
Yes, I did make that bit up. In fact, I misspoke, and I apologize -- that statement was wrong. What I really wanted to say is that Kotlin would appeal more to Java people while Ceylon would appeal more to Scala people, and even that is made up, but I still think it's true. How did I come to such an outrageous conclusion? By reading (with great interest and enjoyment!) blog posts by you about type functions in Ceylon. A fascinating topic (and Ceylon's handling of it is very elegant), but one which -- I believe -- appeals more to those who place much importance on such type-based high-order abstractions in their language, and less to those drawn to "blue-collar" languages.

Yes, this is one of the motivations to experiment. We see this is a prototype implementation to start a conversation about how we could design better certification systems in the future. It prompts lots of interesting questions (and we are concerned with implications around privacy, etc.) and hopefully others will build similar systems and we can compare notes.
To put this into the concrete terms of a story..

I used to be in the NLP group of a good school on the east coast. I was trying to reproduce an algorithm from a paper that won Best Paper from a good school on the west coast. A postdoc from that school said, "oh stay away from that algorithm. they basically cooked the results of that whole paper by cherry picking data. it doesn't really work at all".

At that point I dropped it and never thought about it again -- there is no career value for a phd student (the engine room of research) in "outing" bad research. I was just trying to get some baselines to compare my own work against. On the flip side, getting best paper award at a top conference is the kind of thing that sets you up for faculty interviews at you choice of university.

All that said, academia and the scientific process tend to work well, in aggregate and over time. I think a lot of times people with juicy or disgruntled stories speak more and get remembered more, and it casts academia in far more negative a light than reality. Most of the time, science works well.. just in a way that doesn't produce stories worth posting to boards like HN. So that's my counterbalance.

That may be US specific. i.e. Retirement pensions basically dont' exist in the US anymore, at least not in the software industry.

Basically most companies in the US offer some form of 401(k) with a selected amount of supported funds to choose to invest in, often with some degree of employer matching. Sometimes there are vesting requirements on employer matching. Startups are sometimes likely to not offer any matching.

It does convert the problem from a giant mess of tabs to a giant mess of bookmarks, but at least bookmarks don't use much CPU/RAM.

I was thinking of installing The Great Suspender, but not all my tabs are ephemeral, but I guess it has a way to configure domains it shouldn't suspend, so I might try that together with your extension.
>please let me judge that by myself

If you are self-employed, fine. I'll let you judge that for yourself. Your potential clients would also probably judge that too, can't ask them not to. And if they don't like it, they'll take their business somewhere else.

If you are not self-employed, you can't judge that for yourself. Your boss will judge that for yourself, your co-workers will judge that for yourself, and your company's clients will also judge that.

I don't think that not sleeping enough and being stressed are "socially acceptable", as no one actually endorses these things. At the end of the day, your boss/clients likely won't care much about something being "socially acceptable" as much as something giving them an inferior product or costing them more money.
They still do lots of storage products like SAN Volume Controller, Storwize, FlashSystems and XIV.

However they are currently focusing on cloud, for that they have Softlayer and BlueMix.

In terms of other products MQ is still pretty big, so its CICS and as you said Websphere (which I believe has a free offering?). They still have the Power business and the Z server offering. They have SPSS, Tivoli, Lotus and Rational. Then they also have GBS (Business services) and GTS (Technical services).

Obviously they also have Watson. Some of the Watson services are available on BlueMix and they're pretty good. Currently I think Watson is branching out into all sorts of new areas. Health care is a big area of interest.

They also have ETS (Emerging Technology) which does client stuff, research and the like.

There is also a fairly big IOT department (But I don't know what happens there).
Target pharmacies were bought by CVS.

Aaah, that I did not realize. But still, it seems like there's a fair amount of competition among pharmacies in the general sense. I suppose that in specific geographic locales that may not be as true though.

And I'm not saying that this merger is unilaterally a "Good Thing" or anything. It just doesn't strike me as a place where anti-trust specifically comes into play.

I can actually expect that. Apple have good enough designers to do so. But lack of serviceability for them is a feature, not a bug. Apple is pushing for rented hardware as a service in consumer space. Repairable, tweak-able or modifiable device is contrary to their goals.
Hmm. Maybe they're drawing a distinction between metro/subway and normal (freight) trains?
Right - I thought a 401(k) was simply a pension though? Did there used to be something else that some companies still offer?
This is a cop-out article that MailChimp can direct its customers to when they ask "how to disable spam filters." I worked in support for another ESP, and customers would often have unreasonable expectations about email delivery rates. Enough industries are corrupted, that customers thought that with enough money, we could bypass spam filters, or ensure 100% deliverability (never mind that half their email addresses didn't exist). I even had someone ask how they could make sure that everyone would open and read their emails. Like we sold some sort of Orwellian device that would hold people's eyes open and indoctrinate them to buy a specific Insurance.
This is slightly tangential...I was trying to learn how to debug rust code with gdb/lldb and ran into so many problems. Then just for kicks I wrote a little C++ program and used gdb - so much better :D . I just hope they get the rust debugging situation smoothed out someday but for now I won't be using it.

The real interesting thing with rr is how it's done at the bare metal with very low overhead, using deep hardware-level tricks involving the performance counters on modern x86 CPUs. It's relatively easy to do this when you have a VM, but doing it on native code running directly on the CPU is significantly more interesting.
Gotcha. I had not heard that until just now.
IMO, parts & service is significant value-added for consumers. For DIY, having a place to pick up a specific hose or brake rotors is always nice. There are online shops of course, but if you're shopping for OEM parts it seems like online prices aren't too much better.

For those who don't have mechanic skills, knowing that the dealership is trained to _only_ work on your model of car is extra assurance that they'll do it correctly. (EDIT: Not a guarantee of course, but any extra assurance is helpful)

They made like $240B revenue in the quarter.. 30% of new iPhone sales are to people switching from Android.

That second paragraph is key, iPhone sales are very uneven given the Apple upgrade and refresh cycle. Even Gene Munster, who you're quoting, is expecting them to sell ~242 million iPhones in CY2016, which is a 5% YoY increase on an absolutely massive base.

From a summary of his research report;

Finally, Munster is also bullish on Apple's anticipated
"iPhone 7," which he believes will begin driving
investor hype in the coming months, despite not being
expected to debut until September of 2016. With a so-
called "iPhone 7" expected to introduce a revamped
design, he believes next year's upgrade will be a
"more revolutionary cycle," driving sales of the
blockbuster handset even higher.

I guess technically, 5% YoY is slowing growth since their earlier performance was absolutely insane, but their iPhone ASP is still increasing to ~$675, so with 40% margins, 10 million incremental phones is another $2.7B in profits.

Um, graft. Like all other cases of protectionism. There was once a problem and someone suggested regulation to fix it and now that the problem is gone the regulation remains.

There are two fundamental issues here. 1) Why is commercial driving complex 2) Do we need a rent-seeking monopoly industry to solve the issues for us?

The answer for #2 is a resounding no.

What are the benefits to using SSL/TLS certificates on a hidden service?

Perhaps a better question is: are there any benefits other than just providing an additional layer of encryption that a potential attacker would have to defeat -- there's already end-to-end encryption when using hidden services (even if there isn't any encryption at the application layer)?

ETA: I just remembered that hidden services use 1024-bit RSA keys and there's been some arguments lately that that may not be enough bits. For some sites, using (at least) a 2048-bit key may be necessary.

Tor gets an upvote from the establishment. Is that furthering the cause of privacy? So we'll now get more exit nodes?

Personally believe that nothing less than a wholesale transport-layer alternative to the internet is necessary to maintain communications freedom. Not far fetched to suggest that rooftop antennae running peer-to-peer mesh networks will gather momentum in coming years. Not to replace the internet, just as backup, to keep centralised government interests and moneymen at bay.

More than that now, I ran into a guy in the Haight wearing a WUnderground fleece about 3 years ago, right after the buyout and told him it was my favorite weather website and that I hoped Weather.com wouldn't ruin it.

He then told me he was on the Weather.com team who led the buyout -- Oops. He still offered to send me a WUnderground hoodie though, so kudos to him for having a sense of humor.

Not just statisticians, although they have many good ideas regarding the planning. Unfortunately, a lot of studies that get funded can never actually achieve the stated goals, but no one wants to admit it because it would ruin careers. The worst is that naive grad students get suckered into this mess, are given an impossible to accomplish task, and then have incentive to believe somehow the significant p-value means their theory is true.
Now we just need to find a Tor user with enough money to buy EV certificates...

I think self-driving vehicles will make projects like this even rarer. The two benefits this project achieves are:

1. Safer travel on rails instead of trucks (accidents & environmental)

2. Faster transport between regions (saving 1 - 1.5 hrs)

Safety will become almost a non-concern with self driving cars. Work still needs to be done to minimize environmental impact, but electric cars are coming on strong.

Faster transport times will be a tougher sell when we are actually free to be productive when traveling. With an automated driving system, vehicles become offices/lounges.

Self driving cars don't completely address these concerns, but they make the $10 billion price tag hard to justify. I'm not saying this project isn't justified, I just love examining the impact self-operating vehicles will have on our future.
Oh I know it's true. I did it for years. But then I hit a glass ceiling when I wanted to charge SF rates, but do the independent thing. Nobody wanted to pay for that.

So now I'm sitting in a SF company, charging SF rates, and building my positive signals so that I can eventually go back to the independent thing and keep charging SF rates.

Actually the US prices don't include tax. That gets added during the checkout. Also the EU products include AppleCare (due to EU warrenty laws), which costs $249 extra in the US. So it's actually cheaper in Britain if you're going to be buying AppleCare.

Exelius claim was that charter schools in general are bad but there are exceptions. He wasn't just attacking the funding system. Read his post again. You are ignoring his actual critique of the charter system.

Galby and I agree, again I would urge you to actually read the exchange rather than cherry picking what you think they basically said.

With regards to the past. No one is glorifying anything. But if you want to launch an attack on charter schools and claiming that budgets and teacher salaries are the reason why public schools are doing bad and that charter schools are stealing things then you aren't being true to the discussion. The reason why charter schools work when they work is that they are putting a lot of the effort onto the parents. That bad schools existed before is no secret but it's now almost the rule more than the exception in the public school system.

All I can see is that a Charter School like SA changed things for the better in very socially challenged areas while still functioning by the budgetary constraints as a normal public school and that by it's lottery actually is a much more fair way than ex. the zoned principles in NY.
Yeah, that was my thought as well. Logistics companies have been operating computerized dispatch systems for decades: it just never made sense in the taxi business because prior to widespread smartphone adoption, the systems were too expensive relative to the amount of money a single taxi makes.

This might be attractive to small shippers, but yeah, anyone who does any volume of shipping by truck likely already has a computerized dispatch system that's probably integrated into their warehouse management software (so they don't even have to order the truck - the warehouse just does it for them when a shipment is entered into the system).

It could be a spent rocket stage or panelling shed by a recent Moon mission. It is also possible that the debris dates back decades, perhaps even to the Apollo era."

I would love to see this stuff become mainstream. Whether or not you could "power a building" based on its windows alone, it would be wonderful if all you did was provide for some climate control (A/C in summer, Heat in the winter). A passively maintained environmental system would be very helpful, one of the reasons people first started living in caves was that the cave provided some moderation of temperature swings outside based on the thermal mass of the earth around it. Large scale sustainable group housing is something we need.
