Your story is interesting.

I can attest to the fact (anecdotally) when you consume cannabis orally, you gain this meta-insight into social situations. But, this new found social consciousness varies from person to person.

Whereas you had a fundamentally negative experience, I've found the ability to discern people's subtle, true intentions in social settings to be quite comical.

It could be possible that you are a slightly anxious person by nature, in which case cannabis is probably not a good idea.

Honestly, it's why I as a POC dislike Hollywood and a lot of Westernized popular media in general. We tend to be under-represented and stereotyped, which can have a subconscious effect on the masses.
> Trying to say that it's either one or the other is silly. It's both.

I'm not trying to say that it's one or the other. I'm trying to say that there is no part of it that isn't speech. There is not a part which is a tool and a distinct part which is speech. The whole of it is speech. All you're saying is that it's possible to use pure speech as a tool. But what of it?

You can't win by talking about balancing because encryption software is meta. You can use it to distribute it. If people who are breaking no law have the right to be able to communicate without government surveillance then the government would have to violate that right universally to enforce any rule restricting the distribution of software, because distributing software over a secure channel is indistinguishable from any other communication of the same size. It's hard to imagine anything that could justify that level of intrusion, and certainly not anything that has been proposed as a countervailing interest in this context.

When it comes to evil, Microsoft was as organized as Sheldon Cooper's desk drawers when I worked there. Disclaimer: that was well over a decade ago. Most product discussions (and therefore decisions), for example, were in terms of killing competition, not in terms of building a better product, and war rhetoric in general was quite prevalent.

I kind of understand it, it's easier to motivate people to work hard if they believe they're at war (as Joseph Goebbels once astutely pointed out), but my god, what a shitty way to build products.

How did it work for things other than chat?
I was wrong--he wasn't going be attend, but there (allegedly) were plans to have a televised conversation between him and Christa McAuliffe during his State of the Union address that night.

However this may not be true. While trying to find an e-source, I read that there were some politically-motivated rumors that the white house ordered the shuttle to launch for this reason. Feynman investigated that rumor and didn't find any evidence that the white house ordered the launch.

It's possible the detail about an on-air tv conversation between the president and a schoolteacher astronaut could have been fabricated as well to make Reagan look bad, or it could have been based on elements of truth. For example she was expected to broadcast 2 lessons to students from space, so the capability definitely existed. It doesn't seem too far out that they would have liked for this conversation to happen during the State of the Union, though that doesn't mean the white house ordered the launch.

I read this in Edward Tufte's essay Visual and Statistical Thinking (http://www.edwardtufte.com/tufte/books_textb), which discusses how better information displays might have convinced NASA management to postpone the launch.
It also appears as a chapter in his book Visual Explanations.

I didn't have any luck finding sources on the internet (lots of keyword overlap). Tufte is much better informed than pretty much all of us, though it's possible he printed what amounts to an unsubstantiated rumor. FWIW he also served on the Columbia accident investigation board.

I think there were other pressures to launch as well. The launch date had been postponed 3 times already for various reasons. Cynical danek: I wouldn't be too surprised if some manager's performance review was based on how many launches took place on the scheduled date.
Wow, thanks for the background on that. He must've been way more handicapped than anyone thought though.

I posted a URL for that station to my work's Slack, and then people started uploading stuff and rocking out. We've had a great time taking turns DJing, sharing our musical taste with each other, and hijacking the stream when it gets too boring or weird. I've had friends of mine jump on from elsewhere in the world, some who I haven't seen in years, and drop their music on us. We're completely in love with this -- it's a way for us to stay connected through music without disturbing the people who just want to work quietly.

I'm astounded at how easy Sandstorm made this whole thing. These guys continue to blow me away with their ability to create incredibly useful experiences on a small budget and in such a short time.
There's a big difference between giving review samples to journalists to review and publish on their own sites, and giving samples to be reviewed in bulk on Amazon in the same context of customer reviews and aggregated together with the same scores, with only a footnote of disclosure. Getting review samples isn't the problem; the reviews are just being published in the wrong manner. It's particularly inexcusable that the reviews solicited in this manner are eligible to be tagged as "verified purchaser" reviews.
This is super cool. I've been wanting to make retro video games with modern tools and for modern platforms (like the web and Android) for fun (in the genre of Oregon Trail, Infocom text games, King's Quest, etc.). Some of these are just right for that, and they're CC-licensed, so presumably good for use in Open Source games.

I find the old typefaces from the early 8 bit and 16 bit days really charming. They were working with such severe limitations. I remember designing my own font on my Amiga and using it on my desktop...I kinda wish I still had those files. But, they weren't nearly as legible as the fonts from the vendors.
it seems like one major thing this is missing is a ticketing and triaging system. What does Facebook use for this internally?
As others have pointed out, the number of lines of code that the typical 2016 webapp depends on isn't all that different from other ecosystems. The dependency footprint just looks a lot bigger because its broken up into lots and lots of little modules.

I'd argue this actually makes things a little less fragile, because - at least theoretically - its easier to manage versions and do rollbacks of the different various pieces if something goes wrong. You can surgically switch the version of a dependency without necessarily changing a lot of other functionality.

Of course, things aren't always that simple. And lots of little modules might effectively mean less integration testing and higher chances of bugs. So, maybe it's a toss-up.
When did this happen? If it was within the last 300 days then you should take your case to the EEOC. If the dates were made up then this can be a slam dunk. And the EEOC will sue on your behalf if it's a slam dunk.

AI algorithms try to mimic some aspects of human biology or human behavior to solve problems that cannot be solved quickly using polynomial time algorithms. If the program's core is based on AI h, then you can loosely call 'em "AI programs".

You can think of AI as "imprecise computation". If you can improve precision over time, it becomes "machine learning" (this being the current buzzword of the field).

Note that I don't agree with simple rule-based systems being classified as AI, even with that naming being heavily used on games.
So... Yammer?

FB Work: Groups help you make decisions and keep your team on the same page.

Yammer: Organize all your team communication in one place with Yammer Groups. Create a single destination for your messages, files, and updates, where everyone has a view of what's going on without all the usual back-and-forth.

FB Work: Get through to the people you need right away with Work Chat.

Yammer: Spend less time crafting perfect emails, and more time doing. Conversations in Yammer make it easy to quickly share information on a topic, have active discussions around it, and agree on next steps.

FB Work: Find the answers, past group posts or the files you need using search.

Yammer: Find what you need, right when you need it. Yammer seamlessly enables connections to people and information from across your organization that you never knew existed, making it easier to move your work forward.

FB Work: As a Facebook at Work customer, you also have controls to manage your organization’s data how you see fit.

Yammer: Public Groups for working in the open; Private Groups for sensitive ideas. Safely collaborate with partners and customers with External Groups.

Yep. Yammer.

I also conserve where I can - I heat my home with renewable fuel, for instance, installed a whole-house energy monitor to reduce consumption, upgraded to a 95% efficient backup furnace (most alt fuel heat is not as reliable as lpgas, unfortunately), and I'm going to pull the trigger on solar probably in 4-5 years (waiting a couple more tech generations). So in no way interpret the following to mean that I'm not for conservation where possible.

Having said that, like you, I think that people get extremely hung up on global warming without pragmatically looking at the environmental cost will be if it keeps going for another 50 years. Warming over the last 18 years has been minimal, and if we have similar warming for another 50 years, that would provide enough time for solar to become economical and efficient without pushing the second and third world back into poverty -- because let's face it: at this point in history, limiting carbon generation also limits the productive capacity of an economy, and lowers the standard of living for everyone involved.

Yes, we might have to move our farmland a bit north, lose a bit of coastal land area, and reduce biodiversity a bit. If this is the price to save millions of human lives through better nutrition, better medical care, better transportation, better housing, etc ... then in the short term, I think we need to proceed with any far-reaching carbon regulation with extreme caution.

Right now, I think that the most pragmatic and practical thing to do is research, improve, and build out nuclear power. Unfortunately, many of the same people who are staunchly anti-combustion (I can't say 'anti-fuel', since technically radioactive material is also fuel) are also anti-nuclear. To those people, living in this world, with the primitive energy storage tech that we have today -- without a hard dose of pragmatism you'd be living in the cold and dark during a Michigan winter, and I can tell you that -10f is COLD :( (we don't get a lot of sun and wind here during this time of the year)

What would be the result of that? You appeal and find, oh management really did make a mistake and is incompetent of it's primary purpose of evaluating employee performance correctly.

Sort of kind of. I deal as a consultant for large corporations where down-time is a no-no. Think secondary market-makers, institutional investors, healthcare insurers. Not quite rocket control systems or firmware for dialysis machines but five-nines is a given.

Bugs happen everywhere. That's an axiom. You can decrease the risk of it with formally verifying the system (see: SPARK for Ada), but they'll occur. The difference is the what in response to those bugs. ASP.NET on Oracle 11g might cost a few hundred thousand a year in support contracts alone, but when the bugs occur there is an insurance policy (literally-- at that level, there's an SLA and everything), professional liability insurance, and legal recourse. Those ecosystems have had 1: time to mature so those previous bugs that customers have identified and reported have been resolved, and 2: the option to pay (a lot of money, I'll admit) to have any new bugs resolved almost immediately. I was working with a large healthcare provider and some how a bug made it through 3 rounds of QA into production. Within 6 hours 3 engineers who worked on that specific component had flown across the country, landed, got in my car and was driven to our office, while another team was simultaneously Remote Desktop'ing to see if they could resolve it in the process. Microsoft still offers LTS for a 13 year old operating system.

I'm not ragging on node.js - its endemic of any new technology with a lot of fervor. In fact, it very much reminds me of the CL community in the late 1990s where everyone was writing a ton of solutions, submitting their packages which worked very well for their own purposes, but broke the second you tried to do something it wasn't meant to. It would break and you'd be on a mailing list back-and-forth'ing for two or three weeks.

A large amount of code is in use which hasn't had to stand the test of time (which flushes out a) the poorly designed solutions and b) the bugs in "good" solutions). To make matters worse, and no one knows which is going to be around in 5 years (i.e. what is "good"?) so it's all a gamble where no one quite what to put their money on (should I pick Knockout? Angular? oh wait now it's all about isomorphic code..should I use Redux or Flux?).

This is a good read.
I do think the Tufte essay is excellent except for one detail. I don't think it's fair that he places blame on the the engineers for failing to convince NASA management to stop the launch. It is possible that better designed slides would have helped NASA management grasp the problem. But I think the fault is more so on them.

The premise of "failing to convince management" relies on the notion that "management can do no wrong". For example, if you tell your boss that we're about to drive the bus off a cliff, and he doesn't listen, it's your fault.

This is the way things work in many organizations, it's an old-school approach to management, but to me it is purely dysfunctional. When someone tells me I'm about to drive off a cliff, I say, "Wow, thanks! What did I fail to see that got us into this mess in the first place?"

Aside from Tufte's notion of blame, I think his essay is very instructive.
