Schizophrenia is not cured, but treated.

So you risk getting into "revolving door" admissions to hospital. A person with a psychosis becomes ill, rejects medication, is detained against their will in hospital and given medication against their will (sometimes by force) until they "become well" enough to be let out of hospital. At which point they're free to decide to stop taking the medication.

I'm not sure that this style of revolving door admission is better for the person than just letting them be homeless. (Although preventing people getting into that situation would be a good idea).

wil421 has the right idea: different types of whiskey for different people. Your Scotch and Rye barely stand a chance in Tennessee because people grew up drinking "real" whiskey that tasted different. And over there, the "real" stuff they grew up around tastes nothing like ours. Discussion is really apples to oranges.

I do like how what I hear about Scotch matches what I know of Tennessee: the best stuff is brewed for locals with the exports being knockoffs. Except a few things like Jack Daniels where the standard brews are widely available. Best stuff comes from the moonshiners, though. :)

> Wow. So this would mean that it is illegal to even require something like a safe haven for your own data?

But safe haven is silly. I'm French and I don't care about my data being stored in the US. Why should the government force me to store my data in France? People who want to store their data in France only should be free to do so of course but why bring the government into the equation? Besides, safe haven is incompatible with reality where data is being live replicated across the world to make access to it faster depending on who is accessing it and what timezone they're in.
It's unpopular because it's blatantly false.

Putting on my cynical hat, the problem is much worse than merely higher education. In the previous Gilded Age, the rapaciousness of our ruling classes was met with a storm of organizing from our working classes. Millions of people worked together to advance their rights and those of others. There were hundreds of civic organizations, political parties and other popular organs being formed.

This time, crickets. Now there is no class consciousnesses, no faith in politics, no collective action of any kind. Something is very different, I don't know what.

That's always been under contention (in probably most of the world) by competing movements.

The talk of "citizenship" and "American" is also disturbingly nationalistic. (To those lucky enough to have an awareness of nationalism.)

That's not really what happens with alcohol products, though. Bourbon, for example, has specific requirements on the proportion of corn used, the barrels it's aged in, what proof it's distilled to, etc. There's a wide range of Bourbon and most of it is good, and that doesn't mean other parts of the world can't compete in the liquor market.

IMO: teaching people to appreciate culture or be good citizens is something that is nearly impossible (at least with the tools we have now). As it stands, it'd be a waste of everyone's time and money.

There is a lot of talk about how good it is to do this- yes, of course. But there is little talk of whether it is possible or how to make it possible. Comprehension of, say, math: that's something that can more-or-less be measured by a test. How do you measure someone having the attitude of a free thinker? Until practicalities are talked about, I can't see any of this as anything but posturing. There should be pushes for investigation like CFAR does.

I darted my work life as a civil engineer, mostly designing structural steel buildings. Now many years later I'm a data engineer at a big tech firm. My opinion: programming work is engineering.

I think the author simply has no idea what either field entails, and has proved me now to denigrate the worth of an English major's career.

Seriously though, there are so many kinds of engineering:
Structural engineer
Geotechnical engineer
Chemical engineer
Biomedical engineer
Genetic engineer
Mechanical engineer

Just to name a handful. Software engineer clearly fits.
Exactly, except it's even more unfair in this case because when Apple or Google release software, at least they wrote the source code. In this case we're talking about recipes that have existed since centuries and are in the public domain yet only people who happen to live there can call them what they are.
I think it's very unethical that she published the initial pictures without consent (from what I understand, sounds like he didn't know the pictures until she showed him when he was better) even if she is a family member and did it "in good faith" and even when he gave her implicit permission after the fact.

I also can't help but wonder why she didn't bring him to a hospital when she first saw him in the streets. I'm actually shocked that she basically let him wander around knowing his condition.

Thankfully this turned out fine but it leaves me fairly disheartened.
Why wasn't he brought to a hospital by someone, people clearly saw him wandering around. I mean I can understand letting him be and live free if you know nothing about him (other people passing by daily) but she knew his condition and should have intervened herself imo.

Hi HN, Balboa dev here,

Just as a bit of background of where we're coming from: we've been working on Balboa for the past year or so, after realizing that there wasn't a good end-to-end collaboration product out there that we felt we could use with our clients. In terms of how we're a "Slack alternative", we think Slack is a fantastic product, especially in terms of workflow, so we decided to model our chat interface off their good work. As you'll quickly see, we're not nearly as feature-rich at Slack at this point (nor are we aimed at the same audience). Features that define Slack, like search, are harder to pull off in an end-to-end system, but they're areas of growing research, and we're excited to try our hand there.

Also, we wanted to just give a shout-out to some technologies we've had the pleasure of using:

1) Clojure. Our entire backend is in Clojure, and our frontend, Clojurescript.

2) Zerotier. A great and simple way to get our backend services to talk to one another with end-to-end encryption.

3) Emscripten/Asm.js for transpiled, fast in-app crypto.

4) Skein/Threefish and TweetNaCl.

5) Cassandra and Redis for our data store and key management, respectively.

6) ZeroMQ for communicating between our services.

Thanks to all involved in the projects above who are helping us get to secure collaboration!

>Is there anyone on the left who would dispute this?

I think so.

I have Fox Business on every morning to get caught up with the financial news. Some of the things that are said, or the characters that are produced as pundits...it's astonishing. Their agenda is so blatant. Watch the station for 15 minutes and you'll likely ask, "How do people take this seriously?" In fact, it's so obvious that I still watch the channel, because it adds an element of humour when all I'm looking for is data.

The left, on the other hand, does it in a far more intelligent, subtle way. And I think it fools a lot of people. Look in this very thread at how many people picked up on the fact that the "first thing cut" was the fact-checking department. That may or may not be true, but we don't know from this article.

Governments have different privacy protections. A company choosing to operate in Country A should obey the laws of that country. Operating in Country A, but sending the data to Country B which has much less strict data protection laws means people in Country A suffer.

What was the point of the government of Country A making their data protection law if there's no way of enforcing those laws?

This is all second hand from listening to Spolsky's podcasts.

Spolsky's advice regarding rewrites highlights perhaps different kinds of technical debt. The code for Fogbugz was well written VBscript and the motivation for Wasabi was expanding the market for Fogbugz to Linux...I believe this produced an incremental increase of about 10% of sales.

Wasabi was a tool that supported the product and where the technical debt accrued. We might call the issue with Fogbugz "platform debt" and at the time Fogbugz was written, few people would have anticipated the growth of Linux...and based on Spolsky's description of sales, focusing on Windows was a sound platform choice -- in 2000 Fogbugz would have been unlikely to have succeeded in its market as a web based product.

Well... this is not really your business, is it? If your friend does not like it, he can easily leave. I do not see the problem here.

If you were my friend and I found out that you have been asking this sort of stuff behind my back on such public forum like this, plus, potentially jeopardizing my chances of getting a job since it's not that hard to figure out which company you're talking about, I'd tell you to go take a hike.
The elites of North America and Europe already work pretty well together against the majority's interests. There's a sort of them vs everyone else thing going on that's been going on a long time. A deal within the group's members is always easier than outside and might get special benefits.

Asia is full of countries America exploits, semi-exploits, isn't exploiting enough, or opposes entirely. The goal of that treaty would be to exploit those countries more, increase our power in future interactions, and reduce various risks they or their markets pose. Very different situation. However, methods elites in government and business use to achieve their objectives will be similar. Hence, the overlap in the two.

They just have more work to do and stronger competition on the Pacific side. ;)
They invited journalists to present exactly this. It's pretty clear. You don't randomly invite journalists just to show off that you can host something.
Site won't load for me but I read about this elsewhere. While this first gen product will surely be expensive and somewhat limited (capturing a cubic meter of light field) it's incredibly interesting to me.

I've been messing with VR stuff for the past year or so and I still think that the "killer app" in 5-10 years won't be fancier video games but more like immersive "movies" or VR telepresence. We're at that stage of the hype curve where expectations are high as gen-one products come out but while these will surely be underwhelming to many early users, I think that once depth cameras and light field cameras are developed and improved (along with the ergonomics of head-mounted displays and the speed of processors) we'll start to see more in the way of non-game applications.

Just from personal experience, playing video games in VR is cool and all but when people can watch a movie from the perspective of someone inside the scene or meet up with people in a live-scanned remote environment, I think they'll be hooked.
This looks and sounds incredibly cool, but I have no real idea what it does.

Could someone with domain knowledge give me a bit of a high level explanation?

I have inferred that it's something you use while shooting footage to capture how light is present in the room at all of the different possible angles. Is this then used to be able to generate new scenes that VR headsets can walk around and interact with? Or is this more for being able to add computer generated images into the room and light it properly?

Well, my first hypothesis for rampant alcoholism - cultural background nonwithstanding - would be the lack of options in the social environment.
App.net added a free tier in February 2013, and hit 100,000 users just two months later. By the end of 2014 they said that renewals were so low the site would be put in maintenance mode. So people are willing to pay for something, just not what App.net turned out to be. Or, they are willing to pay a little but not enough to actually afford the developers.
I agree. Your point is supported by the fact that the only reason it's there is to make money for groups who paid politicians to be represented in the negotiation that the rest of us couldn't participate in.

While corporations may not officially ratify TPP, corporate lawyers (a) helped draft the treaty text, (b) had online access to drafts, while elected US government representatives had to read in a locked room, without taking notes, without their trade/legal staff, without a phone, (c) will be the people staffing future World Bank ISDS "courts" that can force governments to pay fines to corporations, https://youtube.com/watch?v=AABOIcXZZwg

The only force that can now stop ratification are the many corporations who did not receive TPP handouts and special TPP privileges for their legacy business models. Since citizens cannot effectively lobby government, the only recourse left is for citizen employees to lobby corporations who can lobby government. If you work in a technology company, ask your company to take a public stand on TPP. Ask Wikipedia to go dark in alternating 30 minute slots, to raise awareness about TPP. Look at examples where SOPA was brought to public attention.

Remember that the lead TPP negotiator is ex-Citibank,
http://www.commondreams.org/news/2015/05/28/us-trade-rep-wal..., "Noting deep ties between the country's top trade negotiator and Wall Street banks, ten groups representing millions of Americans are calling on the White House to make public all communications between U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman and the massive financial institutions that stand to benefit from proposed trade deals."

What problem is it going to cause NZ locals?

Why would they want to brand their whiskey as Tennessee whiskey or Bourbon?

Bourbon is widely recognized as a US whiskey, probably from Kentucky, using that name for something made in NZ is more likely to piss customers off than anything else (Tennessee whiskey has a somewhat more obvious geographic meaning).
She couldn't. You cannot make someone go to a hospital if they aren't harming themselves or others.
Locked behind a paywall, but I'll weigh in anyway. I did some quick calculations. I assume my company is representative of the general state of affairs elsewhere. Maybe I'm wrong, but whatever. The WSJ wants to talk about inequality within companies, so let's see exactly who is better off than who.

My company has greater than 200 people, positive cashflow, and products in the pipeline. The CEO of my company makes 136 times as much money as a median technical employee; these employees constitute the company's lifeblood and the company could not function in any capacity without them. They are paid slightly less than industry standard, though the other benefits and vacation package is industry standard.

The admin/HR/logistics people are the actual median in terms of frequency of people, and make 1/187th as much as the CEO. They are paid industry standard. The rest of the C-suite makes slightly less than the CEO, but similar; all of them make at least 100x as much as either median I've described, and there are of them total.

Seems like the cash is trapped at the very top at my firm, and probably most firms. Even a little redistribution would result in huge marginal gain for employees (2X) and little to no marginal loss for the leadership (-1/136th or whatever). I guess this harkens back to the old days when a CEO would "only" make 30x as much as a median employee. I'd prefer it if things were more like that.
Just my take here.

Agile and other systems exist to remove trust from the equation. If you want a consistent result, you remove all of the variables that cause inconsistency. Trust is one of those things that can't be put on a spreadsheet. The cost of a software feature can be quantified through a process that filters out uncertainty and intangibles.

Social anonymous polls – feedback needed
three of us guys, here in london, came together to build this web app - an anonymous app that allows anyone to post a question and anyone to answer. the trick here is that questions can only be answered with a yes or no. We do not need funding - we need feedback, suggestions and ideas. How can we improve the app and how can we reach out to a larger number of users online? Is it a bad idea to launch a web app and not a native app?

So far - it would seem that its easier (in relative terms) to market an app than a web app.

Looking forward to your feedback!

We farm on Vancouver Island and the drought we experienced this summer (effective no rain from May through September) is going to hit us hard, as the hay crops we took off are significantly less than previous years. We do irrigate some of our pastures and hay fields, but grass regrowth was very obviously affected.

By September, hay was going for 50-60% more than it had been at the END of the previous year's season. There will probably be a dire shortage come February/March 2016. This will eventually translate itself into rising food prices. Normally, one would be able to import hay from Alberta or Washington, but they've also just come out of a poor growing season.
