I feel the main reason android was so successful was google not only controls the software end, they also control a large part of the manufacturing end.

Google was able to say "Ok, we want to add support for X thing into our OS, so rather than leave it there doing nothing lets build a phone around that feature".

Buy Motorola was the smartest push google has done in years. It gave them patents, manpower, and the ability to bring ANY technology they wanted to an at least small scale high quality production run.

Nice, but for maximum tin-hatted-ness, can I suggest mechanical arms typing on the laptop keyboard and moving/clicking the mouse? Who knows what lurks in that Bluetooth stack and firmware? :-)
Some quotes from the official MIT report: http://swartz-report.mit.edu/docs/report-to-the-president.pd...

Typically, when an excessive use
case is reported that is determined to originate from within MIT’s network, the Libraries
report this to either the MIT Information Services and Technology (IS&T) network
security team or MIT’s “Stopit” group, which deals with inappropriate behavior that
occurs electronically. The Stopit group’s general response is to send the offender a
warning email message. This is almost always all that is needed to get people’s attention
and have them stop whatever it was they were doing that caused the problem.

[...]

This time, the requests and downloads stimulated a cascade of failures that brought down
multiple JSTOR servers. Half the servers in one data center failed, and JSTOR engineers
feared that the entire service might go down worldwide.

[...]

Also on October 12, the Director of the MIT Libraries reported to MIT’s Academic
Council that a cyber-attack of the JSTOR database had caused a weekend shutdown of
JSTOR to the entire campus.

China's economy is transitioning from being manufacturing-based to consumer-based. We all knew it would happen, it's just happening quicker than most assumed. The sky is not going to fall.

China will keep on rolling, maybe not growing by 7% each year, but certainly by 3-4%. They've already developed at an astonishing rate, perhaps quicker than any other large nation in world history.

More broadly, are you interested in getting a job in machine learning? If yes, then this stuff is a requirement. You won't be taken seriously if all you know is deep learning.

On a old slashdot flame thread on GUI vs. CLI back in the day, I pointed out that calling CLIs less familiar and less intuitive when compared to GUIs wasn't fair because CLI's do have a very familiar, non-virtual analog: speech. CLI, of course, it just a very specific and rigid language, just like programming languages.

People always mentioned killer software like Studio and Office, forgetting that one just doesn't rewrite software like that.

For example Studio is still 32 bits, for many reasons, one of them being third party plugins that no one is going to re-write.

My girlfriend became acutely psychotic when quitting methadone and alcohol cold-turkey. She was taken to the hospital. After a week she was mostly out of it, but it was too late - the hospital had started the process for an evaluation for involuntary psychiatric treatment. When I realized what they were doing I tried to protect her by obtaining a court order, but was unsuccessful.

My girlfriend's treatment by the system has been worse than I could have possibly imagined. These psychiatrists certainly have good intentions, but don't realize the collateral damage inflicted by their treatments.

Today I found a copy of "Drugs and Behavior: An Introduction to Behavioral Pharmacology", by William McKim. Hopefully this text will help me figure out how to talk reason into a psychiatrist.
Handling it internally was precluded by the fact that Swartz had no association with MIT. He was never a student there. There was no way for them to handle it internally.

He was also caught by the MIT Police which has full state-vested arrest power, so I'm not sure if there's any turning back from the legal system at that point.
Actually just re-read this: YES, typo. My bad.

Don't I know it. The problem is getting him to stay on task. There's just too much to do there. Xterm, tmux, python, and mg (emacs-y editor he prefers) limit how much willpower he has to exert to stay on task. And like I said elsewhere in this thread, all three objects are in the same room. But only once combination leads to him learning. gcr's comment below is very insightful: why learn python if you have minecraft?

My strategy is basically:

-> Politely ask colleagues to send you an IM instead of discussing in person. The context switch hit from a conversation is significantly worse than from an IM.

-> Answer questions by making/editing a wiki page then send a link. Although I find this is less helpful for one off questions or during times of super high work load.

-> If you've helped person X with a similar problem in the past then simply outsource the question to person X.

-> Worst case (especially if someone asks the same question multiple times) play dumb :)
> I've heard stories from my days at MIT of people doing much worse things in server closets

Similar from my days at Caltech. However, there were two important considerations for this kind of thing at Caltech.

1. The "look the other way" attitude of the administration applied to members of the Caltech community, and also depended on how you were connected to Caltech. A student could get away with more than an employee or a friend/relative of a student.

2. The Caltech honor system applied. If you were hacking something without permission and the people in charge of that thing told you to stop, not stopping would have likely been an honor system violation. I'm pretty sure that repeatedly purposefully evading someone's attempt to get you to stop messing with their thing would count as ignoring a request to stop.

Does MIT have similar considerations?

Since everybody seems to agree, I'll revisit my "judgements". I thought I had my mind opened enough not to dismiss music for stupid reasons.
I agree that we lost that a long time ago. I think we still cling to that ideal as wishful thinking, and that gap between what we'd like democracy to be and what it is now introduces distortions in how we talk about this or reason about it. I'm not entirely sure the micro-directives will help with this. It's something I might meditate upon some time down the road.

If car insurers want to make them an easy sell try solving a harder problem than just small discounts. Register a car in the city of Detroit and your insurance rate goes up 200-300%.

How about a device that you can activate from your cell phone that not only tracks your car but actually shuts it down? People would be creeped out by tracking but if you can save 70% on your insurance and at the same time more likely save your car from the chop shops it would be a win for everyone. Then have a private service that retrieves the cars so the police can work on more serious crimes.

While I believe in American exceptionalism as much as the next guy, you guys do have a tendency to forget that we in Europe (and the rest of the world) have been doing this for a very long time.

"Militarism has intellectual consequences" - is probably true, but the British and French (and Dutch and Prussians and Spanish et al) were doing it for 500 years, a period which gave us the birth of The Royal Society, Proust and Voltaire, Leibniz, and so on. The Islamic Golden Age happened under an expansionist empire. The Romans weren't short the odd intellectual as well... I'm sure someone more familiar with Asian history can give many examples too.

"It's all PR, of course: the veterans end up as broken husks that are left to rot as soon as they get home" - while true, this is nothing new, either.
As far as NFL goes, they(NFL & teams) are paid money, and the pomp and show is a seamless advertisement and a recruitment campaign.
I was an early adopter of OpenID and still lament the loss. I'm familiar enough with Persona and IdP's that I could probably fork I'm flirting with the idea of offering LTS out-of-pocket as a public service if there is enough backing [e.g. demand by the geek community. Decentralized authentication is important and I feel strongly enough to engineer for free and/or offer corporate support through my corporation for Persona and use it to subsidize additional development].

I also am working on offering both a FreeDNS service with DNSsec both as an authoritative server for all end-users (services like GoDaddy mark this, as well as SSL certificates, as a "premium service" and that is sheer insanity; I have made it my personal goal to ruin services like this and "SSL watchers" which charge 20$/mo to ensure your cert doesn't expire). Also don't use OpenDNS, not only do they inject ads, but they break DNS by stripping DNSsec which is both unethical and a violation of the spec. I'll have a blog post up on that later this week.

If you have a web-site, don't have shell access but still want to put a cert up, https://www.sslforfree.com/ use these guys. They'll authenticate your ownership the same way Google Analytics does, then you associate the cert with your domain in the same way you would had you bought it from VeriSign.

[0] https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/VLFM7FD - please fill this out if you have either interest in Persona or that DNS service I mentioned (the latter of which is likely to go up this week, the former depends on demand)

Fact? No. Confirmation bias, certainly. The 'fact' that you are trying to assert is that kids can't learn to 'code' on an iMac, which is wrong (and also has nothing to do with the article). Before you argue that words being put in your mouth

I think that shows a remarkable lack of imagination. As a counter point, my nephew is happily learning Python on an iPad using both CodeAcademy online and the Pythonista app. When he wants to tinker, his dad will hook up the RPi he has.

What I suspect happened here is the crappy laptop and BSD (iMac is also essentially running a BSD) was give as a "here, learn Python" and the iMac wasn't mentioned.

Why is Text referred to as a String in programming?
In all programming languages I have used, Text content is referred to as a "String".

a) Is there any programming language that refers to strings as something else?

I'm almost convinced that all their developers only use desktops and browsers, so they don't even realise what they do to those on other platforms.

"I still don't understand how one can express a concept such as monoid or group in, say, Haskell."

Roughly the same way one can express the concept in mathematics. You say "this set forms a monoid under that operation, with such-and-such identity element", and optionally include some argument (or, ideally, proof) that this is the case.

In (traditional/most) math, that is only checked by humans.

In Haskell, it is checked by humans and hopefully tests (laws often make great QuickCheck properties!).

EasyPost Is Hiring Sales – Entry Level and Account Management
As an Atheist who has pondered your questions I'll have a shot:

- Where does value stem from? What is good? What is bad?

Our perceptions of value come from evolution so a fun Xmas/Thanksgiving dinner with the family is considered good by us, bad by the turkey.

- What is the meaning or purpose of life?

It doesn't have a definite one which leaves us free to choose what to go for. Having fun, helping others etc

-Why is there something instead of nothing? What was the original cause? Was there one?

Probably mathematics has to be and physics and hence us are a subset.

- What happens after we die?

Not quite sure - maybe nothing but maybe as Einstein wrote "People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion" so from some perspectives you don't.

- clearer framework in which they can live meaningful, enjoyable lives that doesn't require a religious framework

Not sure about a clear framework but my take is that our instincts may be here through evolution but we can still go for the positive ones, love, happiness, beauty and the like.
Instagram needs to switch that user's account to VIP - in that case (I'm guessing) you stop getting individual push notifications and instead get aggregate events sent to you ("your recent picture has higher than normal engagement").
hm. I ought to read these things more carefully.
I find it hard to believe that not having an answer about the uncaused causer (no religion can solve that either!), or the meaning of life, or why things exist, or what happens when we die, etc., remotely explains why people are depressed or commit suicide.

Where's the connection?

I can accept that being a member of a religious organization can have protective effects, not just psychologically, but also socially, financially, or logistically (people can take care of your kids or give you legal and tax advice.

But how does that remotely link not knowing the mysteries of life to depression and suicide?

Not to mention, religion isn't even able to answer any of those questions.

They just tell you accept things. If that's the case, it's not the answer that matters, it's the presence of an authority structure that tells you what to believe so you don't have to make decisions for yourself.

Sure, for those people, we can bring structure and authority back in their lives. A social authority can tell you what to believe, where you belong, and what's right and wrong. It doesn't even need to explain anything. It just needs to command authority, because that's what religion does.

I find it hard to believe that Christians solve for any of these questions any better than Buddhists or Muslims or Sikhs.

I think the company culture will be the determining factor.

If you have a number of people trying actively to be as knowledgeable as you are, and documentation is considered critical for everyone, a wiki will be the right approach.

If most managers think that people should have strongly separate knowledge domains ("you should be the specialist of XXXX" in our company) and/or strongly value face to face communication, a wiki won't save you from getting drowned into questions and requests.

To take the not so good example, in some companies telling your boss you're reading docs related to a library will get you a "why don't you go talk to TheKnowledgeablePerson instead, he worked with a version of it 10 years ago, he might remember things, perhaps"

No, not that. The comment I replied to was implying that once people figured out car AI wouldn't kill them, they'd just halt cars for the fun of it or when they felt like it.

With a fallible human behind the wheel, you can't take chances like that.

A businessman is a pragmatist, if the unexotic underclass as a whole can be a good market, a business will serve them. The start-up culture of trying to hit the homerun, and making billions needs certain kind of generic market, but if a few million dollars worth market is present among these unexotic underclass, SV will not make a play, but a few good people can come together and work on the 'big problem'. You do not have be necessarily a charity for being both socially beneficial and economically profitable, but I concede it a very difficult intersection to find.
I completely disagree. Remove-if-not is explicit. You know exactly what it does just by reading it. Your suggestion of filter could either mean use this filter to only grab the the things I want or use this filter to filter out the things I don't want. Complaining about the complexity of a name like "remove-if-not" makes absolutely no sense to me. Anyone can read that name and know exactly what it does. You only know what filter means because of your familiarity with it and not because of any inherit simplicity in its name.
Agnostic of Christian cultural background here: I think part of what is meant is that murder was caused by original sin. Sure, death from other causes would already have occurred in any case, but murder is still part of our world because we evolved as K-strategists in desperate competition with other members of our species; that original sin that we are struggling to leave behind, had to be the case because such competition is what drove us to evolve intelligence in the first place.

As for creation myths, we have a document written several thousand years ago which says the universe began in a flash of light and developed through several stages of increasing complexity, which I think is pretty impressive given that it wasn't until the mid-20th-century that science established this is indeed the case.
