> I cannot fathom how religious upbringing could make them more altruistic than they are.

It probably couldn't.

What it can do is take a parent who would not teach such things to their children and make them into a parent who does.

What it did do is take a world that did not think that way, and make it into a world that does think that way.

The history of the actions of religions is not always "clean" (the in-group out-of-group thing I mentioned), but the history of the thought is, and that influenced the world more than the deed.

YouTube is the YouTube of music.

While there is probably room in the music sharing market for SoundCloud to grow (and fall out from YouTube's copyright policy), there is so much around the YouTube to MP3 environment that it's going to be difficult for anyone to take that market lead away from Google.

I hope I'm wrong though.

In this case yes, because users don't get an encrypted channel with the site's servers, only with Cloudflare. Cloudflare isn't acting as a dumb TCP proxy which would allow that. When it hosts an HTTPS website, it does so by terminating the HTTPS connections itself. Cloudflare has the private key, and can see the content of every request/response. That's necessary to compress images, inject scripts, minify code and do all the other optimization/CDN stuff they do -- but it also means making them an MITM between a site and its users.

Depends on the scientist. My personal experience is the best postdocs are more than 10x more productive than the average. Some post docs are worth $300,000 per year, while the bottom 20% are worth -$100,000 per year. The real problem is that everyone gets basically the same salary and as an employer you have no ability to pay more to the great postdocs.

FWIW the restaurants behind these actually do a lot better. Imagine you own a restaurant. You serve lunch and dinner. You kitchen is utilized from 11 to 2 for lunch and from 6 to 10 for dinner. With these apps your kitchen now is utilized before 11 prepping food for delivery for lunch and again from 2 to 6, prepping food for dinner. You're now making more on your capital investments and your kitchen staff is getting more hours. The people cooking the food are the same as if you went to a restaurant and the people delivering are the same that would be wait staff. If you didn't feel bad for these people before why would you feel bad for them now because there is an app in front?

Some time ago there was a post about this (I can't find it).

People don't understand what monads are because they don't know what problem they solve.

This article has the same problem. It doesn't explain what problem categories solve. Well it does but the average reader doesn't understand the problem exists.

Everyone is brought up under a certain value system. I don't think the traditional label of 'religious' is very informative. Which religion? Which sect of that religion? For that matter, which non-religious value system?

The study makes a distinction between the 'big three' of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, but anyone with even a cursory knowledge on the matter knows that there are sects and divisions within those overarching categories that are worlds apart.

I think what this study shows is that religious belief isn't necessary for moral behavior. But that's a question of epistemology, not a question of ontology. Said another way, people can be awesome people, but still lack a 'grounding in being' for their values.

Here's one long running anecdote. I've been operating a self-published book site for over five years. All Chinese content. Some of the books are banned in China. Much of the content no China online publisher will touch.

Baidu loves my site. Searches are often in the top three results on Baidu. I have no ads and pay Baidu nothing. Don't even help them find my site. Baidu even runs its own book site and gives my site plenty of love. To my knowledge the site has never been blocked by the GFW.

Google barely knows I exist even though I follow all their webmaster rules. I'm not sure if its because of low page rank or Google not being great at Chinese content.

I suppose my point is page rank isn't the only way to go or at least having a strong reliance on page rank may leave out unique or rare content that isn't marketed (quality inbound links) heavily.
A 'Slow News' service sounds intriguing. Especially if it was covertly collecting 'data' points for each story on a day-to-day basis and presented these on a timeline when the story was surfaced. A kind of ultra-modern-history.

The airliner crash in Sinai is a current example; there's really no pointin speculating or acting until the investigation team presents their findings, but every day people and states are taking actions that don't make sense from the immediate perspective. Looking back six months from now with a timeline view we might be able to understand.

However there is a definitely a difference with regard to in-group and out-of-group behavior with religious groups, where most of the generosity is directed in-group only.

I think you overestimate how hard it is to add spyware to a system. Esp. if said system is not a unique design. And things like SMM makes it really easy to hide this stuff.

Food can be a part of the culture without everyone being a cook. See Thailand. Street food is very cheap and owning a kitchen is expensive, so most people eat out. Obviously low labor cost is a factor in Thailand, but the opportunity cost of cooking at home in the west is high.

You are also correct. There is a beautiful simplicity to business interactions when you tell them up front: hey, I'm only going to tell you the truth, I'm not going to buy you gifts and alcohol and prostitutes. I'm just going to try to find the best outcome for all of us.

Im sure someone like Kaspersky Labs would be more than welcome to buy his stuff at a market value.

I terms of usability this seems to me up there with the set theoretic formulation of relational model. I.e. not as something everybody needs to do but offering an efficient descriptive model for complex systems.

When designing programs or datastructures I prefer to use pen and paper and some simple set theoretic ad hoc notation system.

I write code for production daily and without this higher level design model my code would be uk terrible shape and very slow to modify.

"As a philosopher, it pains me to know people don't think that way, but if you aren't changing people's lives then all the theory is just mental masturbation."

Basically really good programmers seem to see the optimal structure for a specific problem out of practice. I need to have some sort of theoretic framework which to use to compose my program logic.

I've not had the time to look into category theory but this post succeeded in convincing me it's a practical mental tool to help in program composition.

So, based on my personal preferences, I disagree this would not have practical benefits.
For me, learning mathematics is a way of priming my imagination with patterns and tools that may or may not be relevant, but with the qualification that almost everything can find use if you look hard enough. I'm curious and like to think so having a library of abstractions is always satisfying. Just sitting down to figure out how math can apply to some simple object of meditation is usually fruitful.

You can get away speaking English with a relatively compact vocabulary. But reading broadly to enrich your vocabulary with new words and idioms allows you to describe events more fluidly, and perhaps in a way which inspires you into better ways of describing the same thing you could have described less poetry in the compact vocab set. In that way words let you change your perspective by affecting how you frame your sense-data.

Mathematics is the same way. If you want to work in a variety of domains, you're going to have to be agnostic ahead of time as to what tools might be useful, which is to say, have many tools.

As someone who worked remote for about two years I feel like you have less impact on the overall direction of the services you work on. At least unless your company is embracing remote work and make sacrifices to support it. Lot of information exchange happens casually, between a cup of coffee, in the office. It's hard to make up for that in infrastructure and processes in remote work.
The theory is for getting consistent/composable APIs, and trust in the code - trust that you can optimize it, parallelize it, or just that it behaves the way it's supposed to, without having to read every line of it. You don't need to think in theory to benefit from that.

While it's certainly cute that I can `gem install` a CMS, the Ruby ecosystem is infamous for its magical, non-composable, monolithic frameworks. The functional ecosystems are working toward fixing the all-too-familiar problem where you have to either start over, or hack apart some giant stateful mess anytime your exact usecase hasn't already been built as a library. It's easy to throw a nice looking house together with Lincoln Logs, but I'd take Lego instead any day.

Edit: Also, just because someone hasn't built the tallest building in your neighborhood yet doesn't mean they're not building anything. JP Morgan, Kapersky, Facebook, and IMVU are hiring Haskell devs, just off the top of my head.
People have offered both self-interested and altruistic arguments for not paying in this thread. Neither are convincing.

Only after realising what 'problem' a pattern solves, perhaps by experiencing the problem over and over. I think this is why design patterns in OO are commonly abused (overused) - people learn about them without understanding the problem.

Yeah, but the GoF book mostly is gobbledygook when designing program composition - it mainly shows how to patch java and C++ to be more like scheme. It does not actually help that much in program composition.

To quote Feynman incorrectly, Design patterns ala GoF are about as usable to programmers as ornithology is to birds.
It's definitely ironic. Speaking for my childhood self, I projected my own naive optimism for the future and Star Trek-fueled faith in humanity onto my visions of the Internet's potential.

Needless to say, I overestimated human nature and underestimated the inertia of trillion dollar institutions. I still want that original vision of a decentralized digital utopia, I just don't think much of it is achievable at a population-wide scale.

He's using rich people as an example because in order to draw any inferences here you have to have a large sample set of people who could conceivably live in either a large house or an apartment, with no financial difficulties either way. Rich people are the simplest sample set to look at which trivially satisfies these criteria.

His basic point is that if your sample set consists of people who don't actually have the choice of buying a large home, then that's a major confounding variable whose influence you cannot reliably determine on the results. Beyond that, the sample set also must be large enough for it to not be anecdata. A single couple doesn't imply much about societal trends at large, but the behavior of an entire class of people -- the wealthy -- does, to at least some degree.
Famous? I was on all the mailing lists... there weren't many participants.

The way ahead, at least in the short term, seems to be containerized apps on top of Linux, as with Sandstorm:

I don't know if we'll ever get back to the original vision of very fine-grained apps, with object-cap security baked into the language itself. It would be nice... that would provide another level of security beyond what any OS can provide.

More the point, negative forms of dependency are fostered by reducing people's options, not increasing them. If you're really worried about dependency (and not, say, maintaining a status quo that features a cheap, easily exploited, and largely disposable labor pool) worry less about making life's basic necessities a reward and more about the kind of society that can develop when basic security is a baseline.

"the attack against ProtonMail can be divided into two stages. The first stage is the volumetric attack which was targeting just our IP addresses. The second stage is the more complex attack which targeted weak points in the infrastructure of our ISPs. This second phase has not been observed in any other recent attacks on Swiss companies and was technically much more sophisticated. This means that ProtonMail is likely under attack by two separate groups, with the second attackers exhibiting capabilities more commonly possessed by state-sponsored actors. It also shows that the second attackers were not afraid of causing massive collateral damage in order to get at us."

Protonmail could just be talking this up, but if your ISP's (or AWS's) fancy countermeasures don't deal with this, why would they keep you? And why would any other ISP want or accept your business?

So here design patterns is compared to philosophy of science. I think of design patterns more as a toolbox than an inapplicable study of the art. Much like how math is essential for science, I feel that solid programming abstractions and patterns are essential for software development.
