Lisbon Web Summit – what to expect in 2016
I do full-stack development. Front-end, back-end, some server admin, DB, UX, SEO, etc.

I worked at a F500 building tools to visualize big data and had a great time. Learned a lot and had a lot of freedom.

Afterwards, a VC funded startup - didn't really fit in, most of my co-workers where hardcore academics and it had a lot of micromanaging.

Also did some contract gigs, subcontracting for another company which could be good, bad or neutral (all depends on the client).

Self-employement is awesome, because you get to explore a ton of new things. You get to learn about SEO, business models, cutting costs to increase profits, increasing conversions, brand image, UX, etc. You also get to know your audience really well.

In my case, the biggest downside is I could never build a strong network because most of my revenue was coming from ads and donations and the target audience was younger.

It's easier to network when you are out and about, and always working with people who have their own networks.

I'd love to start a company (on a bigger scale) some day, when I have a stronger network, a larger skillset, and some capital so I can make sure I am feeding myself every week :)

I won't answer your question because you just need to google "Why women are better for management" and you'll find many articles; And many major newspaper ran stories about the advantage of being a woman and manager (at least for Marissa Mayer). Women are usually granted with qualities like being able to do two things at the same time (which is good for a management position), being talkative (good for management), having empathy when necessary (good for management), being more organized...

I honestly can't list out of my mind qualities which are generally attributed to men, apart from being sharks. Please upgrade my ego if you can list any ;)

In the case of steak, the problem is with "mechanically tenderized" meat. Mechanical tenderization involves puncturing the meat with many tiny needles. That process can push bacteria from the surface of the meat deep into the interior.

If a steak has not gone through this process then the dangerous bacteria is on the surface and so all you need to do is get the surface of the steak hot enough to kill the bacteria (160F/70C). You can leave the interior as rare as you like. Since even fans of the rarest steaks generally want a nice brown exterior, this will almost never be no problem.

When mechanical tenderization has pushed the bacteria into the interior then you have to get the interior as far down as the bacteria have been pushed to 160F/70C if you want the steak to be as safe as one that had not been abused by mechanical tenderization.

Unfortunately there is currently no requirement for mechanically tenderized steak to be labeled as such, and you cannot tell just by looking at it. The USDA has passed a regulation requiring labeling, but it does not go into effect until May 2016.

The items you mentioned fell out of fashion, so I believe his point still stands. It seems to me, watch makers aren't concerned about smart watches from a utilitarian point of view, but from a fashion point of view (After all most people stopped wearing watches once you could get the time on your phone).

Likewise, if it was just the case that watches simply had to have more functions to upend the market, smartphones would have eradicated traditional watches by now.

Whether or not they are underestimating Apple's ability to create a fashionable digital time piece is one thing, but it looks like watch makers understand that their customers aren't buying their products in order to measure their heart rate (or even check the time).

So what happens if (when?) we come up with a system that does everything a human can do, better than a human, but doesn't contain any 'crazy insights', just a bunch of incremental improvements on what we have now?

Does that mean we aren't intelligent? Or does it mean that the system isn't intelligent but that we are "because we do it differently"? Or do we accept at that point that intelligence is composed of simple building blocks interacting in complex ways (which we already know, if we eschew Cartesian duelism)?

The success/failure of a project hinges on lots of things. Amongst them, code quality, which heavily dictates your reactivity.
Having a technically-blind management isn't going to work, especially if it leads to policies like "no refactoring" or "no time for tests".

Another thing: high-tech is an innovation-driven market. Most of the ideas are going to come from your developers, so why adopt a management style killing their creativity?

> founders set out to advance the cause of gaining power over users

I'd argue that GNU set out to advance the cause of gaining power over developers. Specifically, to place arbitrary legal restrictions on software so devs who use it are forced to buy into the ideology of GNU.

The ironic thing about FLOSS is that it acts counter to the ideals of libre. There's no freedom in restricting how open source code is developed. In short, it enforces exclusivity.

It's intended for developers who want to maintain ownership of any/all development of the code they produce. To remain the de-facto benevolent dictators for life whether or not that is good for the health of a project.

RMS didn't create GPL out of some greater sense of altruism. Watch his talks about the early days before GPL. He created it in spite of the developers he worked with who moved on to industry. Stallman never moved on to industry and has spent a lifetime hiding away in academia and/or making a living off of awards and public speaking appearances where he preaches his ideology as canon.

You know who doesn't make a living from FLOSS? the thousands of contributors who helped make his projects the success they are today. Funny how RMS never acknowledges their effort.

Hurd will never deliver on it's promises and instead GPL piggy-backed on the success of linux to the point where (from a legal standpoint) both are essentially inseparable.

-----

As for 'open source'...

True freedom is allowing others to extend/improve the code for their own uses. I prefer 'open source' because it fosters the degree of freedom that the GPL only superficially claims to promote.

If others find value in my contributions and leadership then they'll support my projects and the direction I take. If somebody comes along that does a better job, so be it. That just means I probably have more room for improvement.

Removing one's ego from the process creates something much more valuable. An inclusive environment where others can join in, grow together, and move on to better things in life if they find the opportunity.
that debunking looks and sound like a typical debunking of climate change, i.e. basic template of raising unfounded doubt, like no conclusive proof, it is just a theory, etc...
Genetics and Epigenetics research at scale on humans. Just getting the database together in a machine readable form would be a huge accomplishment

There is a huge (missing) sample problem in genetics. This creates problems in epigenetic research, even with gene variations where there are accurate sample sizes, because it becomes extremely difficult to figure out if it is the gene that it is the trigger or an epigentic factor turning on a gene, and if so, what sort of epigenetic factors are we looking at in the first place. Turning off genes through behavior changes is mostly off the plate without getting accurate data first.

Part of the reason: It is still expensive to decode every genome in a human (around of $250k per person right now) That cost will drop radically in the next 10 years because it is only 1-5 parts that really need to drop in cost to make it around $250/person. Then matching that data to health and other related records en mass is huge- especially because most basic health records in EHR are geared towards billing procedures and short term case discussion, not tracking people, families, and communities.

Furthermore, it is a true ethics issue. To donate part of your full genome to science means parts of your genome will be bought and sold for research purposes. The going rate for simple stuff is about 1k/genome, with more money to the market with more interesting medical histories and family data attached. Creating a really big database that is open means this data stops being in a market and could push for innovation in the field.

I'd like to remind you that we have no idea why the county that Ycombinator sits in is among the top counties in the country for Breast Cancer rates. Just getting an accurate sample size of Marin, San Mateo, and San Fransicio counties's genetics and true medical history could make a huge impact on why people get cancer period, because we have no idea why there is a cluster there.

I've been on this crazy beautiful floating space rock for 43 years. My dad is 73 and ailing mother 68 this year. I have a wife who's tolerated me for 20 years.

I haven't lived a necessarily exceptional life and I don't claim to know much, but I do know that Oscar Wilde was on to something when he said: "With age comes wisdom, but sometimes age comes alone" ... and that kinda scares me sometimes when I enjoy my occasional misanthropy.

Another tool which competes with emails is Atlassian Confluence, and they've nailed the "social networky" part. When discussing the idea of becoming a newsfeed-based social network for work with PMs there, they reject it: They're an intranet, you do your work there, attach documents, write reports, people get notified, they know your status, you check out their profiles, it all sounds like a social network BUT you actually do your job inside of it. I believe, that's the right way to make an social network sticky.

The only reason I'm thinking of upgrading my 1st generation ipad mini is how slow it's become. Lesson learned, never let Apple install major software updates on an older device. The same happened with my iPhone 4 when iOS 7 came out, suddenly it became painfully slow.
This sounds like a pretty great idea if I understand it correctly. My cynical view of the business of science says it'll never get traction but the base idea sounds like a great way to get rid of a lot of cheating methods. It would also result in research that I'd immediately trust.

Alas it's probably possible to game this theoretical system because you can still upload faulty data that leads to the desired results since the registered code can probably be reversed somewhat easily/would be open.

I think there's two issues (which can also be combined).

1) Fake/false data.

2) Fiddling with methods until you get the results you want given a fixed data set.

Your solution would be excellent for getting rid of problem #2. I think #1 is quite a bit harder and I haven't come up with anything better than "as open as possible"
These same VC's that are pro non-competes won't sign Non Disclosure Agreements (NDA).

Founders would like it if VCs would sign an NDA so the investor won't take their secrets to someone else. (VC's won't sign NDAs for good reasons and I don't have a problem with that.)

VC's would like non-competes to keep employees from taking their secrets to someone else.

Here's the thing: if you won't sign an NDA to protect someone else's secrets, why should you expect someone to sign a non-compete to protect your secrets?
This touches on the classic question of "is coding engineering or art"? If it were engineering, it would become quantifiable once we have enough empirical data from previous projects to base our theories on. If it were art, that would be impossible since every project is as individual as the last one. It's probably inbetween.
The email to the governor is actually quite accurate.Big issue with renewables is that their adoption on roofs puts a de facto tax on people who don't have solar (eg apartment dwellers). Why? Because they use the grid as backup and the grid requires significant maintenance. There's a cost to that.

As it stands everyone pays for a part of these costs through their power bill. Take enough people away from paying into the grid and all of a sudden rates go up for everyone or the utility takes a loss. You might be fine with the latter but a lot of utilities are rate based. Meaning the government determines how profitable they will be and rate increases need to be justified.

Will be very interesting to see how different states tackle this issue in the years to come. The utilities don't like it because incentives for roof based solar mean their rate base erosion gets accelerated.

It must be added that this article talks about distributed generation (rooftop). Interesting that the incentives for rooftop development are more than solar plant development even though utility scale solar is far cheaper than rooftop and is sold at wholesale prices via PPAs with utilities. Makes you question what exactly politicians are up to here.
