Ok, Newtonian physics. That was accepted for a long time because it was utterly, utterly consistent with all our evidence.

Until it wasn't, in some edge cases. And we adopted a new theory that explained things better.

My point was that the impossibility of induction is at the core of science. Science generally does things well because it accounts for this. I cited financial crashes as an example of what can happen if you don't account for induction.

Marxism is a little tough because for much of the twentieth century you had the split between Soviet and western marxism, where the Soviet branch considered itself properly "scientific" while the western branch engaged with more humanist themes from philosophy. In my opinion the philosophy of science developed in western marxism is much more interesting than the scientism of the Soviets. German philosopher Max Horkheimer's essay "Critical and Traditional Theory" (1937) is a classic and very influential formulation of a western marxist philosophy of science.

I don't know about African American philosophy, but among Latin American philosophers Enrique Ambrosini Dussel has done much to advance a unique perspective on epistemology and philosophy of science. In the English-speaking world his work has been championed by Sandra Harding, who was mentioned by another commenter.

The term "homeopathic" has been diluted. It used to mean "a lie dissolved in water", but now, because (ugh) it got popular in some circles, or to try to steal some of the relative legitimacy of natural non-water supplements, "naturopathic" remedies are labeled homeopathic.

>> there's nothing special needed to support Apple Pay specifically.

Yes, there is. NFC enabled terminals may be the norm at major chain stores but they do not have widespread adoption in smaller retail outlets.

The merchant pays for those terminals and they are not inexpensive. Sometimes $1000 or more. That tradeoff (making it slightly easier for you to pay) just isn't worth it to most merchants right now. As EMV adoption grows and merchants have to update their terminals to support that as well, NFC will grow.

Also, it may seem as if ApplePay is more secure for the banks as it prevents issues with data breaches but to date, it has not prevented any, will continue to only lessen the impact and is absolutely wrought with card fraud as there isn't any validation that you own the card you are loading into ApplePay. Once it's loaded it isn't checked by the merchant (if the merchant even pays attention these days) and is implicitly trusted by the network.

At Virginia Key? It's subsiding at about 0.17±0.09mm/year, says http://www.fsbpa.com/documents/Florida%20Sea%20Level_rev0404... . "This very preliminary value ... with its very large uncertainty ... should be viewed very cautiously, but a sinking Florida is in general agreement with geophysical models of Earth’s changing shape due to post-glacial rebound from the last ice age."

But the relative rise (same reference, and with a longer baseline) for Miami Beach is 2.4mm/year, so more than 10x faster than can be explained by subsidence.

(Also, unlike parts of the US which are sinking due to overpumping from an aquifer, in coastal Florida, seawater will fill in the parts of the freshwater lens which were overpumped. And while the Miami metro area pulls water from the Biscayne aquifer, the relative sea level rise is pretty consistent across Florida, including Cedar Key, which is a relatively isolated location with low population.)

The NYT piece references http://www.rsmas.miami.edu/blog/2014/10/03/sea-level-rise-in... which in turn points to http://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/stationhome.html?id=8723214 as the measurement source. That shows that the numbers are given with respect to NAVD88, and not some relative sea level to a survey point on land.

Indeed, that's why the data set for this NYT article and my earlier URL to the report describing a sinking Florida only starts in the late 1990s - that's when the CORS sites (see http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/CORS/ ) were set up to give absolute positions based on satellite positioning.

A/B Testing: Everything You Need to Know and How to Do It
That's fucking creepy.
I'm not an outlaw because I am ignorant of the laws and regulations of every single state on this planet. I put an app into the store that mainly follows Google/Apple policies/guidelines and does not break any laws in my country and that is sufficient for the start.

These policies are reasonable and by following them you will rarely get into trouble in Western countries.

Of course some other country might object, then the app might be modified by me for this country or removed.

How many apps or website would exist today if checking every law everywhere would be the standard procedure? Probably around 100 websites and 25 apps in total would exist because only big corps can afford this.

A pattern that helps with this (tangentially) is to explicitly declare methods to implement an interface at type declaration time:

type File struct {
...
}

var _ io.Writer = (*File)(nil)

It's not a panacea, but it helps. If you write all your own code this way, at least it will be easy to see which interfaces your own types implement, and (with a grep or GoRef) vice versa.

Plus you get interface implementation checking, so your error messages actually make sense if the interface or type method signatures unexpectedly change.

Again, this is not a real solution to your problem, but it has enough advantages to be worth mentioning.

I agree about the universality of C++. I also agree you have to compare C++ + code analysis versus Rust regarding safety. However, my team is spending over 100k$ a year to get access to these tools. In the grand scheme of things, compared to the salary and other expenses, it is insignificant.

But for a small team for a new project, it is probably easier and more cost-effective to use a language that is safe from the ground up, rather than relying on external vendors. (Most of these tools have a free option for FLOSS projects, but you might need to develop something closed source)

I honestly don't know if this is something that can tip the balance, or if this is a "detail". Time will tell.
It's a damn shame, as I have the Pixel C for review purposes and really want to like it.

Kin looks like an example of this. The Kin team were mostly from the SideKick acquisition and they worked really hard on it. Kin had the social angle and it would have been interesting if it had sold to the target audience (teenagers). WP7 picked up on the social aspects in Kin and that was probably final blow to it as a product (before it even shippet). It was ahead of it's time and pitched at completely the wrong price point.

This is an extremely contrived critique.

The only place an error could occur in this code is if fmt.Println returns an error. What should happen if you can't display the output? Try to print an error? This is entirely appropriate for demo code and use of stdout like this. No one honors the return value from printf(3) in demo code either. Considering other languages, Python's print functionality doesn't have anything about returning or raising errors, and it wasn't even available as a function until 2.6.

Why not? Because everytime Google ships a failed product there's one more joke out there about how "Google sucks at making physical products". And it also reinforces that idea with each new product launch, as people stop being excited about a "new Google product", which they "know" it will fail.

Remember that whole thing about "oh, I wonder when Google is going to kill this new service" after the Reader debacle? Yeah, it's like that.

With Apple it's the other way around. Because it has reinforced the idea that each new product they launch will sell in millions in the first month, now everyone expects Apple to sell millions of whatever new product they launch - even if they don't like it personally (such as the Apple Watch).

It's okay to experiment. For instance, maybe the Chromecast seems like genius idea in hindsight, but perhaps when they were first working on it they thought maybe it will succeed maybe it won't.

However, some products are just dumb - like a $300 Google TV, or a $300 device that only streams music from your phone, or the n-th attempt to take the phone/tablet Android interface and try to put it on a notebook-like device.

Google should've known better by now that that doesn't work, and not just because it failed with Android, but it also failed with Windows 8. I'm actually very much in favor of Android on PCs, but they need to actually optimize it for PCs because they push it like that.

If you use it so often, it only makes sense to buy it and keep it, instead of paying the same thing over and over.

Renting makes sense when resources are limited, like with physical goods. Returning it removes the need to produce another one, and it also naturally makes renting prices lower. With digital goods it's artificial - there is no scarcity that should require returning it after usage. Making one return it and pay over and over for unlimited resource is simply a rip off.

I'm an experimental physicist who did an undergraduate before my PhD and had to fight tooth and nail for my grades and did all that petty nonsense like going to class and after school tutoring and such. I'm not a rockstar, but I'm not a joke either -- I would give myself a "B" rating -- I definitely don't struggle for fellowships, but I'm not Nobel material.

I know from the inside that _these_ actions are the most probable path to success. If some hot shot high school student reads his note, I can see them deciding that they are "brilliant mind" material and then start pursuing this course of action seriously. In my opinion that is a borderline surefire path to failure. College campus is _the_ place to learn physics: you learn physics from casual bar discussions about the fluid dynamics of beer, telling a pretty girl why stars twinkle and planets don't, explaining to stoners why cigarette smoke is blue off the cig and then grey when you exhale, pre-exam pizza binges, adding strobe settings to your dorm lights, and late night campus laser graffiti with your mates and professors. Not from lone wolfing down a textbook with a blackboard.

It's perfectly possible for him to convey his message without "ordinary", "childish", "noisy", "rudimentary", "tiny portions" etc. And if he's just putting together a guidebook for entertaining your interest in Physics, then that's cool. But saying this is the way to get a Nobel is ridiculous... hence my original comment about dripping sarcasm.

Also my original comment was just getting down voted (and someone asked for clarification) so I expounded.

They marketed their service as free of chargebacks.

1. The fact that a payment company connected to ACH, a reversible payment method, would claim something like this demonstrates gross incompetence at best.

2. If they didn't want high risk customers like TradeHill they should have politely kicked them off the service, not kept them on while silently defrauding them of their money and hoping they wouldn't notice.

What, TradeHill should have expected Dwolla to violate their own terms of service (no chargebacks) and therefore it's their own fault? That's asinine.

No, it really isn't. It is just money, an actual judgement, especially these days, can lead to actual market bans which is then a death sentence for the firm. The flip side of this is that US governments (Federal and State) are able to effectively shake down large financial firms for very large sums of money without actually holding any individual to account - it just becomes part of "doing business".
