> - They gave a puzzle to 24 couples of dolphins.

> - Out of those 24 dolphins only 1 couple made it.

No, they gave the puzzle 24 times to 6 pairs of dolphins. One pair got it each time, although 4 times a single dolphin from the pair managed to get it own its own.

I would really like to read the paper. Did they get better in time? Did the one dolphin figured it out on its own before or after he figured it out with his pal? Why was he even able to pull it off on its own anyway?

> the airports would be responsible for doing screenings

Airports are generally productions of municipal governments and badly mismanaged, money-losing construction projects. I don't anticipate county-managed security programs being any less awful than federally-managed security programs.
Something like this I'm guessing:

>The ATM is a bunch of inventions combined into one unit. One person saying they invented something so complex seems absurd.

For the most part, that is how inventions work. The person who invented the mobile phone didn't invent radio transmission or integrated circuits. Most inventions involve putting together existing systems and inventions into a novel design. (As another comment points out, the Wright brothers is somewhat of an exception to this rule, as the did invent many of the features in their flying machine).
Sorry, I don't understand. I'm contesting your claim that airports would have to hold more people than they currently are if people showed up earlier to account for the longer lines.
I have a great pets.com story, to add a little light heartedness to a serious topic like this.

At their HQ the bottom floor had astroturf and a lot of windows. This is where the pet day care was for all of the employees. You'd walk past and see how great it was to work there - just look at the pet day care!

When they shut down, they shut down so suddenly that nobody cleaned up that area.

I forget how long that space was vacant, but I want to say it was roughly a year. You'd walk by the space and you'd see little doggie turds in various forms of decay on the nearly-neon astroturf. The dot com boom in a nutshell!

The F-35 was inspired by the cost of F-22 production, an inspiration that has already proven to be wrongheaded. The rest of what you're saying is very reasonable, but spending 1.5 trillion to discover the answer isn't.

The thing with ORMs is that they buy you a lot of fancy stuff as well - scaffolding/crud templates, they integrate in to your development workflow (under source control, in the same language as the rest of your code base).

I'm not really a fan of ORMs - I think it's fundamentally an inferior approach and I think clojure/yesql or (presumably) Dapper like micro ORMs are much better where you treat query results like values instead of objects - but at the same time an enormous ammount of work went in to ORMs and a lot of developers are familiar with them to the point where they can do their job in 90% of the cases - and for that 10% case you have the senior dev or a DBA can step in - this IMO is a big value proposition that shouldn't be ignored.

What's with the male USB type-A connector at the board edge? Are users actually supposed to plug the board straight into their computers? Seems like a recipe to break connectors, the board is a strong lever with that length.

If that's not the idea, the more correct way would be to use one of the USB connectors meant to be placed on cabled devices like B, mini-B or micro-USB.
Anecdotally I know, but I thought a large percentage of people knew Zynga was way overvalued. That said, how does a company of 3000 people not recognize this and drive forward new revenue? They had the cash, they could and did hire talent. What stopped new revenue sources from being created? I'd love to read a breakdown of what's happened there.

You've described the state of the law as it is, but surely that doesn't address the issue of the law as it should be. I think that it is possible to be an intelligent but non-technical person and (EDIT: forgot the word 'not') realise that, all technical issues aside, the "something you know" and "something you have" parts of a password are on completely different legal footing; and I think that it is reasonable even for a technical person to wonder whether it should be so.

EDIT: I know that complaints about downvotes are not welcome, and it's quite possible that I'm wrong in what I say, but I'd like to be told how rather than just downvoted! My comment was meant to be a constructive contribution.

Nava | Washington DC & San Francisco SF | Experienced Full-stack Developers, DevOps Engineers, and Software Engineers| On-site - Full-time | $100k-$160k + equity

We're a small team (18 people!) of engineers, designers, and product builders that were brought in to help fix HealthCare.gov in the winter of 2013. Since then, we've been working with the government to improve the services HealthCare.gov provides. Our revamped Healthcare.gov application is used by millions, converts 35% better, and halves the completion time.

It turns out there’s a lot more to fix, and it’s surprising how much can be fixed by a small group of resourceful people with a Silicon Valley mindset, deep technical experience, working closely with dedicated civil servants in government.

We’ve started Nava as a public benefit corporation to radically improve how our government serves its people. We believe that the services our government provides should be clear and reliable. If you feel the same way, we'd love to hear from you at jobs@navahq.com

Android developer | On-site | Full-time | Tokyo, Japan

Shuttlerock is a world-leading visual marketing platform that allows companies to collect, curate and re-purpose content from a variety of sources. We have a global team, with offices in Los Angeles, Tokyo, Christchurch, Auckland and Sydney.

We are looking for an experienced Android developer in our Tokyo office who want to work on interesting problems, and help us take our existing mobile app to the next level.

The Role:
You will be working on our Android application in our Shinjuku office. We're looking for people passionate about UI/UX interaction and performance, who thrive on working with a fast-moving team that's changing the way large companies think about content marketing. In this role, you will have the opportunity to help shape and execute our mobile strategy, while working with a group of talented developers. You’ll work alongside our product and design teams to implement highly interactive and branded interfaces.

Our Ideal Candidate:
- Must be fluent in either English or Japanese.
- Deep knowledge of Android app development.
- A track record of shipping mobile software.
- Experience working with third-party APIs.
- Understanding of multithreaded application development.
- Experience writing maintainable, testable code.
- Outstanding problem-solving skills.
- Excited to work closely with an extremely talented, distributed team.

Bonus points if you:
- Are multilingual.
- Have GitHub / Dribbble / other portfolios demonstrating your work.
- Have an interest in functional programming and testing.
- Have experience with iOS, Ruby, Clojure, or JavaScript (Angular or React).
- Have experience with DevOps, automated deployment, AWS, edge caching etc.

Location: Nishi-Shinjuku, Tokyo
Salary: 4.5 ~ 8.5 million yen, depending on experience.
Visa status: Unfortunately due to the urgency of this placement, a valid engineering visa for Japan is required, and the applicant must be already located in Japan. We are open to sponsoring visa renewals in the future for successful applicants.
EQ has proven to be of vital importance in growing healthy teams. There was that Google study: http://www.inc.com/robin-camarote/google-study-reveals-emoti...

The work-day would be where we assess EQ. It is difficult to stay objective and consistent when assessing soft-skills. It provides the risk that biases and could-be-wrong impressions dictate your hiring decisions.

Two things, in my eyes, have helped us find bright and 'good' people:

First, by using consistent criteria that are as specific (binary) as possible, we have been able to find people who are not just talented, but conscientious contributors.

Secondly, the way we write/pitch/communicate during the process sets the tone for both the people we want and the environment we want to create. If you go through an uncomfortable, even aggressive, hiring process, what would you expect from the environment and the people within that environment? We try for good-ness from word one.
This... makes sense. You can be compelled to produce your fingerprints, or a physical key, or really anything physical with a warrant. It's the issue of producing KNOWLEDGE from your mind alone that is really the issue most of us care about, or at least, it's a newer issue.

> A January 2016 poll of a thousand American adults conducted by STAT and Harvard’s Chan School of Public Health found that although 69 percent of Americans had heard nothing or not much about genetic enhancement, nearly the same number felt that genetically altering unborn babies to reduce their risk of developing serious diseases should be illegal. Eighty three percent felt that genetic alterations to improve the intelligence or physical characteristics of unborn babies should be banned.

If use of gene-editing technology in humans runs far and
fast ahead of public support, the discussion will look like
a mixture of the moral panic over cheap and popular drones
