Those big institutions were terrible.

Hospital is not a good choice for most people with mental illness. Even people with severe illness, such as psychosis, benefit from good quality community treatment where possible, reserving hospital for last resort intervention.

That good quality bit is important though.

You might want to look at the literature around "Early Intervention in Psychosis" style working.
You're both partially right, the numbers from the Time article appear to be off, but other sources still indicate that the difference in revenue per employee is greater than x1.2.

Here's a simple but imperfect comparison, let's look at Amazon 2014 vs Walmart 2015 (I'm using those years because they were the easiest stats to find, if you can source similar stats for Amazon 2015 or Walmart 2014 feel free to link to them)...

Amazon 2014:

http://www.statista.com/statistics/234488/number-of-amazon-e...

Revenue: $89 billion.
Number of employees: 154,100.
Revenue per employee: $577,547.

Walmart 2015:

http://corporate.walmart.com/_news_/walmart-facts/corporate-...

Revenue: $482.2 billion (not clear if just in US or globally).
Number of employees: 1.4 million US (2.2 million globally).
Revenue per employee: $344,428 if revenue is US only, $219,182 if revenue is worldwide.

Difference in revenue per employee:

X1.68 (if Walmart revenue is US only), or x2.68 (if Walmart revenue is worldwide).
Well it has been out there that many Hollywood stars have had high resolution image maps made of them for future use.

I think the real threat isn't digital rights management, its going to being alerted when 3D objects like this are inserted into live presentations. As in, when computer power is there to overlay someone in real time it should be acknowledged else separating fact and fiction will not be available to anyone short of government agencies.

I came here to say this as well. I could see enterprise uses for companies with smaller budgets who can't hire a full time senior engineer but might need or make good use of one's time for an hour.

You could potentially even add scheduling, so Dev X could be scheduled for an hour every week with Client Y.

There's a lot of neat paths you could take, and there's some decent theories about the science of choices and human decision making you could read up on if you're interested.

Enjoyed the article, as someone with a near constantly full plate it's nice to read about a very substantial start in a bite sized time frame and makes me want to try to set aside a weekend as well.
Sounds similar to Joe Armstrong's ideas[0]. Very interesting.

As the author, this was a pleasant surprise! :)
It was written in 2013 (potentially note that in the title?) though people still frequently say they find it useful.

As @jstayton noted, browser support has come a long way[1], and @davecardwell notes that some of the keywords are deprecated[2].
I really should update both browser support and the "which websites use it" part.
Hacker News now supports it for example, which I'm hugely glad to see! ^_^

Evidence that fish have feelings
According to a Business Insider article, money has been pouring into her paypal account since the publication.
If I get the idea, concepts are similar to Haskell's decade-old type classes, as an alternative to OOP classes and inheritance, which by now almost everybody has agreed are largely a bad idea from an architectural perspective. Did anyone see Edward Kmett's talk "Type classes vs the world" and wants to lose a few words on how they compare?

Regarding the problem you mentioned, I've often tried to break my problem domain in "abstract concepts" using templates, static assertions, code generation etc. I don't think I have a real word success story. Abstraction doesn't work out of course for business logic because generalizing over the mess which our world is is just incredibly hard, but also not for algorithms, because quite frankly, efficient implementation is the result from learning a thousand neat little tricks and applying them in the right situations. Abstraction remove these opportunities.

For example, recently I've seen a Java application with a parameterized container class. The parameters were abstract and thus the container had to use tons of nested Hashmaps to get from A to B. Had it admitted that the only sensible parameter was "int", everything could have been implemented using a few super-fast arrays.

Another problem is that abstraction actually grows cancerours dependencies across the code base. If we instead design clean data interfaces reusing basic data types and add a few lines of comments / constraints / consistency checks, this dependency hell just freezes down and we notice that abstraction wasn't the actual problem to begin with.

For the basic quick and dirty app, or script, of course it's extremely important to have generic STL containers and a std:: algorithm, or python dicts / set / iterators, and be done with it. Also in rare cases, abstractions like Monoid, Functor, Applicative, Traversable, Monad can come in handy when you can reuse a few lines of code from a generic library.

But to come back to your point, I think that's all largely explored territory and the point of diminishing returns has long been surpassed.

Thoughts? Counterexamples?
Neat! Great way to volunteer and learn for yourself as well. Hope you get some bites.
So we should what? Throw up our hands, not protect anyone who needs a cell phone? Concluded that everyone who isn't running RMS' Lemote Yeelong is fucked, and throw them to the wolves?

It seems obvious to me that we have to take the world as it is; yes, centralization of security is bad. Yes, we should fight to get away from this centralization of power in companies like Apple.

But as it stands now, it's incredibly important to support Apple's fight against this dramatic expansion of the All Writs Act's powers. The fight isn't "pointless", it's the exact opposite -- the security and privacy of hundreds of millions of people in the world, today, rests on the success of fights like these.

How much better it would be if we were all running Gnu/Debian Mobile on our OpenPhones is completely irrelevant. That's not the world we live in and better, open solutions are going to take years and decades to work toward.

We are never going to get to that world if Apple loses fights like these. We already have legislators working to make even the security offered by iOS today, for all its flawed dependence on Apple, illegal. Once these privacy and security rights are gone, that's the new normal, and open, truly securable phones won't even be legal to manufacture in the first place.
The interstate tax savings only works if you have no physical presence in a state. Since Sears was everywhere, it wasn't a possibility for them.

Amazon got so much flak for taking advantage of this, they finally decided it was easier to open warehouses everywhere and charge the taxes. But that opened up the possibility of same day delivery.

Where is Volvo considered a luxury car brand? Here in the UK I don't know anyone who would call it that.
I think in this case the difference is that FIFA doesn't yet a lot of political power in the US compared to Europe and South America, but was in the process of significantly expanding its influence to the US, which drew the attention of the investigators who could act without expending domestic political capital. One question often raised in Europe and in particular countries that feel hard done by FIFA, like the UK, is why it took the US to investigate and prosecute when much of the corruption is taking place at our front door. This is largely European, South American, and African corruption that has some US based proxies mixed in that give the US investigations a way in.

One of the elements of typical libertarian ideology that now strikes me as a fantasy is the idea that one can truly separate economy and state and that wealth and political power (a.k.a. force) are not the same thing.

In abstract theory wealth is not force and is not political power. It's easy to write that statement down and believe it. But firewalling these two in the real world is something that I regard as politically impossible. The only scenario I can imagine is one where we have some kind of AI programmed to maintain a democratic libertarian state and that is above economics, invulnerable to persuasion, and lacks any human needs or wants that can be influenced through money.

Given that wealth can easily buy power (a.k.a. ability to wield force), then a sufficiently large concentration of wealth in the hands of a few easily leads to that few having the power to arbitrarily wield force. Even if the plutocrats are initially idealistic, over time this will erode... especially if social change or market forces threaten their wealth. At that point the choice is between adapting (hard) or using force (easy). People usually take the easy path.

My thoughts are that the spammers were backlinking their backlinks.

You had blog comments open for a bit, so they got a successful comment link from your site/domain to their crappy handbag site.

THEN, to give their links more "power", they sent low-quality spam links to your domain.

That or negative SEO, as suggested.

Either way, petitioning Google for reconsideration and doing lots of disavow'ing until you're blue in the face could be worth it.
I'm late to see this, but the submitter chose to use the HTML doc title. Since it was neither misleading nor linkbaity, that was legit, so there was never any moderation issue here.

If I follow a guy who tweets about Databases, I don't need to know or read his thoughts about politics, his new born daughter, his outrage about X or Y or all that bullshit. I want to hear only about Databases, DB management and not the rest. I need to be able to follow @userX with #topicY exclusively.
It is a way to track users without using tracking cookies.
A decade ago, other search engines were selling the top spots in their search results as unlabelled advertisements, and Google was able to claim moral superiority by clearly distinguishing advertisements from organic search results. As time has passed, the distinction has gradually weakened; the advertisements' background color got whiter and whiter until it was the same as the organic results, the fonts and colors got closer and close and became a perfect match. Now the only difference between advertisements and natural results will be the word "Ad" in small, white-on-orange text. How long before they find something even more subtle to replace it with?
Perhaps Microsoft's recent move towards open source might might thinks easier - as far as I can tell there are far too many copyright issues with the _entirety_ of the windows source code for a complete open sourcing there, but they could perhaps open up core parts of the codebase.

Imagine Microsoft engineers contributing to wine also. Perhaps I am dreaming :)

I'm not opposed to countries capturing whatever they feel is just to tax corporations, however, crying foul when they allow this by their own laws is their problem. Pass the laws, make everyone abide by them and we'd be good.

I simply don't agree when they allow a loophole and them complain about companies using the loophole. Same with corporate inversions. If we don't think it should happen then get some tax treaties in place and enforce it.
One benefit is to have documented evidence that FBI did release malware to the public. There has been little to no discussion on safeguards or liability when it comes to government published malware, and I wonder if a concrete example can enable such discussion.
And given MS's business practices in the past (seem a very different company these days) it's actually pretty believable at least some of this was on purpose.

Certainly when you take into account all the undocumented API functions used by office et al.
iMessages for one. They're encrypted and aren't stored on Apple's servers, but are easily accessible (no password on the app) once the phone has been unlocked.
Most of the world goes without luxurious transportation (they walk, ride bikes, and use public transit).

They also have privacy by having their own room in a shared apartment.

This is in large part why I am so impressed by the fix. U9 arguably one of the worst games ever released, though largely because the series is otherwise so great (8 wasn't great but after patches wasn't _terrible_.)

Not many people want to play it these days as a result, so if they're fixing _this_ then they must really be comprehensive.
Hah, that's quite an assumption! I'd never suggest slowing the advancement of technology to alleviate social issues. I wasn't making any suggestion, but if I was it would be to accelerate the social change not slow down the advancement of technology.
Since you mentioned whitelistnig I assume an extension, care share which one?
On the other hand, you don't need to know all of OCaml to be effective and unknown features are not going to come and bite you while you don't use them.

Most people don't know the object system. Most advanced features are rarely used and kept well hidden in libraries internals (first class modules, extensible types, ...)

You will need to understand functors for some libraries, though, but I would guess that it's true for SML as well. :)
"We" already make all those things. I'm just interested in a more equitable way of distributing the benefits.
Analog chips can be real cash cows. Unlike digital microprocessors, a successful design can last for decades without any change in process node. You still get some really old process nodes being used on the analog side because they're still functional today.

Power applications in particular need larger transistors for sourcing and sinking large currents. Smaller process nodes don't help much for many of those applications.
Does anyone know the preferred (current) method of sending referrer directives between the referrer-policy header[1] and the referrer directive under Content Security Policy (CSP) 1.1[2]?

Since these specs are evolving, there is a lot of contradictory documentation online, and it's tough to weed out what's the accepted solution (if there is one). Presumably using headers (of some sort) is preferable to meta tags where possible though?

Edit: As mentioned by davecardwell, the always/never/default settings, which are referenced in my CSP link there, are deprecated. Perhaps the whole concept of serving the referrer policy via CSP is as well?

Or they might just be hitting different obstacles now. History is not always a linear interpolation of the past (though more often than most people are ready to admit).
It has nothing to do with fairness. The way it works is a company can decide "I don't have to be here" and shut down operations there, while a country can decide "You have to pay X tax because I said so". The end result is a compromise between different extremes.
The Koch Brothers’ New Brand
Are you implying the government should tell you where you have to live? It's been tried before.

Perhaps a better idea would be to simply educate people in household economics with available books, podcasts, TV shows, libraries, etc.

Oh wait, we already do that.
Yes, it is. Can you imagine how different life would be if the rest of government worked at that pace?
> authorities had “concrete indications that showed that the terrorists involved in the Paris attacks had the intention to do something involving one of our four nuclear sites.”

Just like the various authorities that jumped at the chance to claim the attackers relied on encryption? This entire article is using the usual fear-mongering over anything "nuclear" as another propaganda tool. Jacob Appelbaum's interpretation[1] of this kind of claim is much more believable: incidents like the Paris attacks were a failure in intelligence and a failure in traditional law-enforcement work. When the public conversation is framed with complex topics like encryption or nuclear power/medicine, the failures in more mundane topics are easily swept under the rug.

As for the article itself:

"officials have asserted privately"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

"may have been involved in planning several attacks"
^^^

"But experts and officials speculated that it could have been part
^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^
of a plot to abduct the nuclear official, who was not identified."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

"...if acquired, the material ... could also be used to make a dirty bomb..."
^^ ^^^^^

“'If they find a way to spread such material among the population,
^^
they could do a lot of damage'”
^^^^^

I'm going to assume that this extreme concentration density of weasel words is a sign that someone is making this up either as filler or to push an agenda.

> he acknowledged that no additional guards had been hired or other measures taken to secure the perimeters of Belgium’s nuclear sites.

> ‘There is no specific threat to the nuclear facilities.’

That sounds a lot like confirmation that there is no actual story here beyond fear-mongering.

> radioactive material is expensive to clean up

So are many chemicals, which are much easier and cheaper to obtain. We've contaminated so many sites with dioxins, pesticides, heavy metals, and other dangerous industrial pollutants, we had to invent the "Superfund".

One way of putting it is that we want to get caught as quickly as possible if we ever misissue a certificate. We don't think it's a benefit to us or the certificate-using (relying party) public if we have the ability to secretly issue certs that are erroneous.

This is exactly my thoughts on what's wrong with TED.

It's not in the pursuit of the truth. Therefore, it's in the pursuit of status.

You can see this among those who wave around TED talks they have seen as some kind of currency. "Oh have you seen the TED talk about Y? It's so amazing!"

But also, by their nature, the talks cant dive deep. People are there to be amused and kind of learn, but real education is difficult. TED isn't difficult.
I doubt the last claim; even if the materials were cheap enough you're dealing with a lot of assembly. If capitalism has taught us anything it's that people will pay for convenience. Plus packaging and branding are huge in those markets. Shopping for and opening the toy is like half the excitement!
Sure, but what happens if that is all you end up with?
The apache plugin for the Let's Encrypt Python client can edit apache configuration files (one of the most complex and hard-to-get-right but also one of the most convenient features of the client). There is also an nginx plugin which is significantly more experimental and which also edits nginx configuration files.

This is not a dramatic expansion of the AWA's power. This is exactly what the AWA is meant to do. The few carve-outs of the authority of the AWA go much farther -- that's exactly what CALEA is, for example, and it has been held up by the courts repeatedly.

Your references to the GPL nonsense are a false dichotomy; All we need is ownership rights over the electronics we buy, like we've had -- even on Apple platforms -- for decades.

Supporting Apple now just ensures that when Apple does fall -- whether it's an expansion of CALEA, or espionage, or just a shift in their business priorities -- we may never know about it, and the impact on privacy/security is likely to be much worse.

If Apple loses this battle, there's no real impact to the risk profile. Apple already had the backdoor. The only change is that we're forced to be honest about that backdoor's existence, and start thinking real hard about how to avoid this kind of centralization of power, and its inevitable use, going forward.

So, if we programmers are so advanced, why are we still using names to identify various programming language entities? Why aren't we giving the equivalent of UUIDs to Classes and Functions and other programming language entities? As it is now, there are version control systems that could well be confused by name collisions.
How is that screwed up? Nothing wrong with that. People are just bitter because they want in at a special price to something that has already been built and already shown to be great.

Why not move somewhere else and help make it great?

Anyway, if it continues like this, SF will collapse on its own and all those people who fought for special benefits to get in will be fighting for equally special benefits to leave.
I don't think Apple is in the key escrow business anymore; on OS X they had such an option, to show the user the DEK and optionally store it. I don't think the DEK or KEK are backed up at all in iCloud. If you forget your password, all options I see involve device erasure.
