> Actually, a lot of the book Peopleware was devoted to showing that even in dense urban areas it is still cost-effective to provide private office space for knowledge workers. What you spend on extra real-estate is easily more than made up for with increased productivity, less sick time, fewer superficial conversations, etc., even over times spans as short as 1 year.

The typical retort to that around here is that group productivity matters more than individual productivity. I agree that the productivity of the group can be greater than the sum of the individual productivities of its members. No one has yet explained to me how lowering the sum of individual productivities leads to an increase in group productivity, though.

> > Creationism and biblical literalism are relatively recent "innovations" in some Christian traditions.

The existence of some literal interpretations is not literalism. Literalism is the doctrine which excludes any metaphorical interpretations, and it is, in fact, relatively new (and mostly isolated to a subset of Protestantism, not general to Christianity.)
The general sentiment is that it's unconscionable to remove previously free features and put them behind a paywall, and I have to agree.

It would be one thing if they announced fancy and fantastic NEW features and included them in the Pro suite, but to disallow activities of current (and loyal!) users, and then charge more than I imagine most users are paying for ANYTHING phone related, apart from them monthly bill, is a such a poor move on their part.

Look for them to make a statement, possibly an apology, in the next few hours.

The idea that the west set out to bring stability to the middle east is heart-warming but the accumulated evidence seems to suggest the exact opposite. To a neutral observer, the evidence rather suggests that the west is actively trying to destabilize the region. Consistent with that narrative, one of the most stable countries (Iran) makes the US most uncomfortable. However, even if we take a more charitable view of the west's intentions, we'd have to conclude that the west's agenda is based on the fundamentally flawed assumption that the middle east lingers in a pre-modern state that is bound to be eventually replaced by western-style modernity.

> If you believe you have to meditate to not go to flaming eternal hell, that's religion.

Buddhist "hell" is purely logical, there're no concepts in vanilla Buddhism that are not logical. You're not getting to hell for "not meditating".

The hell is not eternal and you will go out of it eventually when you'll get better understanding of the universe. You're going to hell not because some god or Buddha say so but because the universe works that way: angry and violent mindstreams flow into worse states until they realize they should stop behave like they do.

For people who're opposite to the idea of any other worlds but their own, there's a view that "hell" is just a state of unbalanced mind and not some kind of dimension for your afterlife.
How much does it cost to create an app? [Infographics]
I am aware of the "white power" movement that exists online, some are just trolls but some are serious, and there is always this moment in which it feels the jokes are a little too sincere...I say this as a non-white male. Moreover, beyond stormfront and trolls, there do indeed exist political, nationalist parties and groups.

Nonetheless, Breivik, unless I'm wrong about it, was not part of a movement trying to dominate the world and install a Christian kingdom, so ISIS differs from the white "movement" in that regard.

In regards to the current discussion, I am not sure which side of the argument I am on. I am not a Muslim so I can only comment from what I see from the outside. I have Muslim friends who are not at all sympathetic to ISIS or any of its friends, so I don't find it hard to believe that most Muslims find ISIS reprehensible as most Christians found Breivik. However, I have the opinion that nations in the region need to step up because ISIS threatens their freedom. There needs desperately to be a fight against ISIS in the form of a fight against their ideology... a movement that teaches that hatred and intolerance is not the way of Islam. I am not a Muslim, so I have no right to demand that of my Muslim brothers and sisters, especially as they've endured much in terms of discrimination in France (as that fascinating New Yorker pointed out) and elsewhere, but the ideology of hatred will survive bombs and invasions, if not be inflamed by it. The only way we can defeat ISIS is to defeat their message.

I've been thinking about doing this for a month or two. Mainly because, like you said, its so much better to wake up in the morning and spend your day pursuing the new business instead of 8+ hours being displaced from the venture and dreaming about it at work.

Right now, I don't have enough money to sustain longer than a month without a daily job. So, I guess the answer is to start there and build a little next egg over the coming months so I can have a solid 2-3 months that I feel I need to get going.

> “’The most difficult communication between these terrorists is via PlayStation 4,’ the minister said, three days before the terrorist attacks in Paris. ‘It’s very, very difficult for our services — not only Belgian services but international services — to decrypt the communication that is done via PlayStation 4.'”

The Onion is going to have a really hard time topping this.
This is exactly right. The lazy version seems like magic, but it's really just exploiting the fact that if computing p(a) never evaluates a(n) for n >= m, then p(b) = p(a) whenever the first m elements of a and b agree, so you can cut off an infinite portion of the search space without checking them all.

I wrote up a Python gist (https://gist.github.com/evanpw/d69f1ccb5edd0b672e9e) which performs this same trick by explicitly snooping on the callbacks. It seems a lot less magical than the Haskell version.

EDIT: The main "cheat" seems to be the ability to identify the predicate which returns false on every input (e.g., by seeing if returns false without evaluating its argument). The continuity argument described in the article basically says that if p is not always false, then there's some input a with a(n) = 0 for all sufficiently large n that causes p to return true, so you could just enumerate all such inputs until one returns true.

What about BITNET Relay?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BITNET_Relay
There is an important piece of historical trivia involving Galton and regression. Galton documented regression to the mean. But why did it happen? In an era before genetics was understood the most natural explanation was that each species and race had "a natural type" that it was regressing to. This contradicted Darwin's theory of evolution, and lead to widespread doubts about Darwin's theory until Fischer managed to demonstrate why statistics + Mendelian genetics predicted regression to the mean, and provided a possible mechanism for Darwin's theory of evolution.

It is natural to view history as a steady march of progress to our current scientific consensus. But history doesn't actually look like that. And this is an interesting example where it doesn't.
No, there is proof that that's how it started. These "anecdotes" were passed down by narration initially, then they were recorded by two scholars: Al Bukhari and Muslim. The methods they used for verification were amazing, which is why we believe most of what they deemed valid. If you'd like to know more about how they did this, I can elaborate.

As for the Quran, it has been passed down by rote memorization. This is the difference between it and other books: people memorized it AND wrote it down. No other book in history has been memorized by so many people at once. Even now the record stands. Of course, the Quran could be falsely memorized in a localized instance, but not in all places at once. Many attempts were made to falsify the Quran systematically, but they failed due to the sheer number of people who had it committed to memory.

I simply don't agree with your opinion on belief.

>They join because ISIS makes a compelling case that the world would be a better place if it was rid of western domination.

Bullshit. The people who are destroying ancient statues and slaughtering other Muslims didn't sign up for some grand scheme of bringing down the west after a reasoned argument. They signed up because they are violent psychopaths and they were given an avenue to do all of the fucked up things that struck their fancy.

STEVE CASE ANNOUNCES 'THE THIRD WAVE' BOOK
Why would it be hostile? There's tons of Python2 users out there like me that need support and a secure path forward with Python, and my code.

PyPy didn't create that situation, CPython did. They're just filling a market need. It may be opportunistic, but it's hardly hostile. If anything was hostile it was CPython3, but I'd say neither would be "hostile" moves.

Everyone should always act in their own best interests. Especially users like myself. The CPython team did what they felt was in theirs. I do what I feel is mine. PyPy should do the same, not be fearful of some toxic, "hostile" accusation.

The godsend is that I don't have to worry about CPU performance being a limiting factor at all. That's a big deal and reduces my hardware needs to do the same amount of work. My VPS is hardly overpowered, and I like it that way because it's cheap for my projects. :) CPython only exacerbates hardware issues.

It's very nice to have a simple interpreter to fall back on, but at this point in time I think most dynamic languages need to be on a JIT like PyPy. It's just too good and I can't wait for the STM branch to be merged into PyPy4. No more GIL for those of us using it.

I wish there was an easy way to make micropayments for articles, in the vein of Amazon's one-click feature. Go to an article, hit a paywall, click a shiny ¢5 button, done. If the micropayment was small and I didn't have to enter my CC info more than once, I'd do it all the time. Unfortunately, this would be contrary to the way commerce works on the internet today. In order to maintain security, it would probably have to be the browser, not a third-party service, that handles your CC information. A new browser commerce protocol would have to be created, and every platform vendor would have to support it. So it would probably never happen.

I understand what you're saying, and I agree. But I think it might be a little disingenuous to use Osama Bin Laden's crypto practices as an example. I believe this is the more interesting story of what really happened with Bin Laden?

>Pakistan secretly captures Bin Laden by bribing tribesmen. The US finds out by bribing Pakistani officials. Further bribes with foreign aid money get other Pakistani officials to issue a stand down order. The SEALS swoop in unopposed but somehow still lose a helicopter. They kill a captive Bin Laden as part of a deal to avoid exposing Saudi support for Al Qaeda. The media gets fed a cover story about the compound being a command center. Some doctor guy becomes a scapegoat and vaccination programs are derailed in all of Pakistan. The CIA fabricates documents from the compound and flirts with claiming credit for "enhanced interrogation" technique in the matter.

If you don't like that story then sure by all means stick with Story A: The CIA does brilliant investigative work. The commander-in-chief makes a gutsy call. The SEALs storm in and kill the bad guy in a firefight. He is buried at sea with full rituals. The 2012 presidential campaign starts a few days afterwards.

If you support Story A, then this would certainly make sense:

>It's like they simply forgot about the biggest reason it took so long to find Osama bin Laden: he was so security-concerned that he used couriers and relays (which, counter to the broad narrative about the terrorist shift to security, actually cannot be decrypted)

That's grasping at straws. What are the chances you're going to happen to need an alibi for the very moment you were filming yourself with a drone, and your drone just happened to be small enough not to be observed?

I would also submit that the critical factor in this case was the state's use of a hidden camera. We've already agreed that there is no problem with the FBI posting an actual agent on the steps.

Finally, this type of law applies much more to audio than to video. I am allowed to record video to my heart's content. I am only allowed to record a conversation with consent of all parties in my state. But even if I did so, no sane court would prevent me from using such a recording in my own defense.

I think OP meant that, given the shrinking population, total GDP won't grow, even if per capita GDP does.

People routinely conflate GDP growth and GDP per capita growth. For example, US GDP growth seems high relative to other rich countries because the US has more immigration and a higher birth rate. This leads to more GDP, though not necessarily GDP per capita.

So, Japan could actually get richer (per person) as their economy shrinks.

This also means that defining recession only in total GDP terms may be misleading.
On the other hand, self-acceptance by those we dislike is often derided, to the detriment of finding solutions to these social problems instead of assigning blame.

For myself, I've found suppressing my initial feelings of hostility toward people who promote incorrect ideas and providing an emotionally neutral answer is a more useful approach than derision, sarcasm, and other such behaviors.
You certainly did insult me, and denying it to my face is a further insult.
I hear this a lot too. All the research I've ever been able to find on the topic suggests the opposite. Teams become less productive when using open-plan style offices, not more productive.

But you'll never win that argument with a manager in a company that has decided to double down on open-plan layouts. If someone higher up is dogmatic about open-plan, then managers can't talk bad about open-plan or else they face career roadblocks. This gets funneled to HR, so then they create bullshit codewords like "team player" or "good cultural fit" that really just mean "someone who agrees to sublimate their natural need for privacy for no other reason than that we told them to."

The only thing you can do is rejection-sample employers until you find one of the rare ones where the upper management just happen to already share your views about offices and productivity.

This is significant as well in that it points out that people can legitimately struggle with overweight eating issues as the brain adapts and makes people more hungry. I struggled a lot with losing weight and continue to struggle with keeping it off. It's frustrating when some folks (presumably, who have never struggled with weight and eating, and the psychology issues with eating, such as eating to feel good and then feeling depressed because of overeating) say simplistic things like "just don't eat so much" or "try having a salad". It's not that being big is healthy; it's not. It's that breaking the cycle of being big is hard (for some).
