Remember mailing lists? The new social mail client would pull collections of related tagged emails on request.

It's an idea worth exploring further, just to break facebook's monopoly. Even a mail client without profiles, interests and albums but which presents emails in timeline format could contribute to that. I won't pretend it's the ultimate solution, I will just assert that simple ideas lead to bigger and better ideas even if the implementers have to pivot sometimes so it's worth thinking about.
I work in a small company where we wanted to use these actively. Reasons they fail:

- Nobody is sitting there waiting for their news feed to update.

- Nobody is posting information there as they would with friends because THEY ARE AT WORK, they worry their boss will see something stupid. This is why memes and other things rarely get posted on work networks.

- Nobody wants to seem like they are slacking off talking on social networks instead of working (even on the work one).

- No memes and other fun related things, nobody cares and nobody checks.

Slack on the other hand was a huge hit. We have a few groups of like minded people who just chat it up. Usually for short bursts. Everyone prefers it over the social network tools. And everyone stays active in it.

A major feature is the notification that someone sent you a direct message (might be important) or sent a message to a room (meh) or sent a message to a muted room (probably not important).
Piggy backing on your post.

From my experience in the US, most two page resumes can be consolidated down to 1 page. Remove the soft skills like good listener and quick learner, and other extra cruft most soft skill resumes have. A good rule of thumb is 1 page for every 10 years of experience.
> You're talking about collectors.

No, I'm not. I'm talking about people that buy high-end watches. They're like ties, it doesn't really make sense to own just one. You need one for every occasion, to match all the types of outfits you wear.

It makes sense for you to own just one high-end watch. But the kind of person that can pay $30K for a watch is not you. They are the people that keep Patek Phillipe in business. They made €765.6 million in 2013. The Swiss watch industry as a whole is around $10 billion.
That's an interesting comparison... Definitely some merit to it. The difference with LSD is that the rethinking occurs on more of a physical level than a social one.

I don't know exactly why these ports aren't protected, but as for your second question, why assume there are only four wires, given there are a lot more pins? Wikipedia has a full pinout and wiring list and you can see there's a lot more going on than that:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_Type-C#Connector_pinouts_a...

USB-C is not merely a new connector for the old USB 2.0, but includes a lot more. It is backwards compatible, but goes well beyond that.
A very important point. Machines which can self-replicate from naturally occurring raw materials pose some daunting engineering challenges.

However, consider how much of our current approach to designing spacefaring robots and their subsystems is influenced by the materials and economic climate we have available here on earth. We deal with severe tradeoffs guided by making robots as lightweight as possible, as reliable as possible (because one failed servo is extremely expensive to replace once you're on mars) and use highly modular components which are well-suited to an expansive global supply chain. What do you design differently when heavy metals are relatively plentiful, weight is mostly irrelevant, scrapping a failed robot is more acceptable and organic substances are scarce? If the parts of the robot are made almost entirely using additive manufacturing processes and circuitry is integrated into the structure you can reduce or remove the need for fasteners and possibly do without conventional insulated sheathing, etc.

The path to self-replication is to reconsider and reinvent a technology stack which minimizes the set of dependencies, and that is a very interesting challenge.

Off topic: "Millenial" is usually used as a borderline epithet. Don't call yourself that.
Ironically, while at least some of the motivation for this is to prevent animal suffering, once we figure out how to grow meat directly, we will have little use for many livestock species and this could actually cause them to greatly decrease in numbers if not disappear entirely.

I did read the article.
So I saw this, and while I appreciate the conjecture, the narrative sounded unconvincing to me. I think that when we start talking about computational neurobiology, it's hard to sufficiently bound the problem such that computers can model it. Computers are very good at doing stuff that humans know how to do (and repeating it a bajillion times), but it's hard to get computers to do stuff humans don't know how to do (one of the recent interesting expressions of this that is counter to this point is neural networks, but I digress).

When he talks about "we made black with light" I feel like someone is playing "hide-the-ball" because I think of black as the absence of light. Perhaps I am just not modeling the problem correctly, but I did not take away anything useful from the comments in this video :(.

It's a scientific instrument, not a power plant. The portholes are to allow all the measurements and tests that they plan to do over the life of the machine.
Situation:

When I replaced the VP of Engineering at BloatCo, it had 4,000 engineers, producing a mediocre social media product that was roundly criticized for such failures as being unable to edit posts and having no control over online harassment.

Task:

Cut costs and get the product and feature pipeline flowing.

Action:

Implemented a thorough review of functional teams, engaging both front-line management and customer representatives to distinguish the individual and practices that were delivering value from those who weren’t.

Established a customer council, including social activist and freedom of speech advocates, to advise on anti-harassment policies.

Result:

After a painful transition lasting two quarters, we are reviving public kudos on new features and our reputation as a tool for scumbags has been turned around.

Our burn rate is down by 40% in engineering, proving that sometimes, you can cut costs and increase production.

post scriptum:

Alas, this did not increase any advertising revenue, so the company was sold to Yahoo, who fired me and are rewriting everything in Perl 6. But fixing those problems were outside of the scope of my authority.
From what I understand it was the downscaling that politicians demanded to reduce costs that caused most of the cost increase. Lots of design parameters had to be changed as a result of it, new technologies developed to get things to work on the smaller scale, etc. There was also a lot of mismanagement in the beginning, with the Japanese management being completely new to the area (the director general was Japan's former ambassador to Croatia). Later, management was restructured several times and now people with experience in plasma physics are in charge.

Apple’s Own Apps Need Work
> All of modern life seems to have started at the moment the iPhone was introduced.

In 30 years the iPhone will look as clunky as the first black and white television set. I honestly don't know when "modern life" started, but I would rather put it around the first light bulb than the first iPhone.
I thttp://www.fiftythree.org/etherkiller/ttp://www.fiftythree.o... it's a matter of foreseeing the potential failure modes and correctly deciding which ones are so remote as to be not worth the cost and complexity to protect against. For instance, I don't think there's a consumer device out there that wouldn't fry if connected directly to mains AC through any peripheral port at all. But that doesn't stop someone from making a cable that connects AC to USB and saying it's a fast charge cable on Amazon. That's a more extreme case than this, but only because it's more obvious what the flaw in the cable is.
The old rich has way more to fear from political upheaval in their home countries than from American tech wealth. There's way way way more old money than there is new.

As a recruiter, do you prefer to see technologies listed under each job, or in a separate "technologies/skills" section?

Writing that "list of words that constitute all the things I know" has always been the most difficult for me, and I'm never quite sure what people are looking for, or what kind of assumptions they're making about it (e.g. I should hope it's obvious, given my resume, that I can use the command line. Do I really need to say that? Should I break out 'tangentially-related programming skills' into a separate list? I have no idea!)

I have no problem with the US filing a criminal complain against Snowden and dispatching a plane to pick him up. I have an entirely big problem with the US government using shadow planes or whatever they want to call them to act on it.

If there is a public filing of a criminal charge all following actions need to be out in the open and "above the board". This cloak and dagger shit screams "you don't have rights if you piss us off" is something the Administration should have changed from day one but instead they just doubled down on it.
Woman: is good not because woman is inherently better, but don't we have enough of male-only leaders? However if you ask me women may be superior politically to men in general because of dialectic abilities, human considerations when sending people to war, ability to be brutally pragmatic and so forth. So woman = good for me in different ways.

Scientist: I want politicians to do the Right Thing not to build consensus, and I believe a scientist is better in today's world compared to another politician by profession that comes from a different non-specializing background. It could also be an expert linguistic researcher and would be fine as well, but the point is, the new challenges we face are often science related...

The former NSA head opposes encryption backdoors: http://www.networkworld.com/article/2990294/security/former-.... So has the current NSA director: http://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/nsa-director-actually.... The White House Office of Science and Technology also opposed the FBI's proposal, which led to the White House tabling the idea: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/11/us/politics/obama-wont-see....

Many people in the tech community don't want to get behind those in government who oppose back doors because they are not absolutist in their rhetoric about privacy. They want to assert there there is not even a debate to be had between security and privacy and that privacy should always win. But when the vast majority of the actual voting public is concerned just as much about safety as about privacy, if not more, that's not a tenable position for elected and appointed officials to take.

Why do you say that? Why don't any of the many (admittedly clunky) PDAs that came before Apple count?
I had a similar background--worked my way through school doing small to medium size freelance projects. Much of my freelance work was contracting for one company (where I was mentored by one the senior developers) and few startups, so it wasn't quite as bad as what you experienced. Some employers think you're not "office material" if you happened to be a hard-working, independent worker that managed to pay their way through school while learning on the job. I assume I probably dodged a bullet working at any of those places, if that's the way they hire.

After graduation, I had a few tell companies me that my work during school as sort of a "black mark" and I think it's sort of humorous looking back at it now. Currently, I'm the technical lead for my dev team and the contract work I did while in school is probably the best experience I had for the work I do now. Gave me a broad range of experience that reinforced the theory and concepts I was learning while in school.

It's worth observing that while text/template may ship with the core code, it's a very, well, library-y library. Get 10 programmers together and ask about text templating and you'll probably get 11 answers. It's very easy to replace it with whatever floats your boat; it's not deeply integrated into anything else, and just ties in to very standard io.Writer interfaces and such.

Bikeshedding about text/template really is just bikeshedding about text/template moreso than Go qua Go.

I really wish people would stop saying this sort of bs. Deciding not to misgender or use racist/sexist slurs isn't PC out of control. It's called not being a bigot. Maybe I'm just not all into dropping the n/f/t-words like some other folks. And honestly I wouldn't call myself particularly a leftist in politics save for my views in economics. So, if PC is out of control because people call you out for saying something racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic then maybe your first response should be "how it is that way?" and not "stop being so PC brah!!!1!". If this is seriously too hard for people to do then maybe you ought not be speaking in public because there's always going to be push back from the public audience you're speaking to. It's not a one way street.

Have you ever had to sift through 250 resumes to narrow them down to a shortlist of five??

If you haven't, it is very very hard. You simply don't have time to dive deep, figure out a person's unique value, and determine whether they could be a good fit.

Therefore, usability becomes very important. The candidates who give a recruiter the information he/she needs in the shortest amount of time possible will rise to the top.

Reviewing resumes is mind numbing work predicated on an already broken model. That's by there is so much opportunity in recruiting and why we are starting to see startups that are changing the recruiting industry. Since the skill involved in crafting the perfect resume is a poor predictor of the skill involved in writing software, we are seeing initial screenings based more on job tasks.
