Not even close. The profound impact on working memory and executive function caused by ADHD--which is a misnomer but due to its link to entitlements for disabled individuals, it remains so named--effect people in every way from social to workplace to family life. Its a poor comparison, much like comparing a person who temporarily forgets something to a person with downs syndrome or mental retardation. Stop popularizing this disease as something its not. The inattentive features are just a scratch on the surface of the profound issues associated with this disease. In fact, smartphones and tablets help those with executive functioning disorders, so this would qualify as an ironic article.

I am a non-academic who reads a lot of academic papers. I love arXiv, and I probably spend too much time on there.

Here's my 10-minute take on scirate (from viewing it on a mobile browser). Overall, I don't immediately see any added value. The layout and design isn't great - not on mobile at least. The main view isn't optimized for what I want to see. There's a huge navigation tree that takes up all the view space. Then, it shows me a list of ranked papers that are not of interest to me. It forces me to register to access any features. I don't see comments on any of the papers, only a Reddit-style rating. Do I have to register to see the comments? Overall, I don't think I'd ever go back. But, maybe it wasn't designed with my type of use cases in mind.
I would assume a lot of people posting "snapchat leaked" type pics (you know which ones I mean) with the hashtag #snapchat. When all those pics get reported the hastags on them get temporarily banned.
India's dying mother
At my university philosophy was only offered joint with another topic, such as Maths and Philosophy or Politics and Philosophy. The idea being, I think, to make sure the thinking had an object to study.

What surprised me was, as it seems for you, that they basically only studied philosophy from the last fifty or hundred years. It's not really about Plato or Aristotle.
This seems quite ridiculous. The Bhagavad Gita is not a philosophical treatise like the Republic, it's a narrative scripture. Why would it be treated like the Republic for philosophical purposes.
I'm not sure this logic makes any sense.

Science is also very euro-centric, yet most of us here would argue that science is among the most objective disciplines out there.
It feels like the author has missed the point of philosophy entirely. If some Chinese philosophical paper is very good, it should be evaluated on its merits and folded in to an appropriate course for that topic.

Philosophers believe at least, that they are doing work more along the lines of mathematics than underwater dance (that is, searching for truth). Nobody would ever dream of arguing against eurocentrism in number theory - and the concept of "cultural worth" would be equally out of place in any good institution of philosophy.

If you think an idea is worth teaching just because it came from a certain culture, you must not care if it's right. That mindset works well in the purely creative disciplines but should have no place outside.
I have long thought that Apple was working in secret on a consumer robot; perhaps something on the order of $1-5k price point. It was just a hunch.

I've now begun to think that the increase in what everyone is calling "R&D" is just Apple become too large to any longer be efficient. Perhaps they've crossed that point mentioned in the Mythical Man Month where gains in team size decrease productivity.

“We must expand our moral imaginations” (Obama's speech at Howard University)
So by this logic are we also removing Augustine, Aquinus, Decartes, Kant and the dozens of other canonical western philosophers whose arguments were substantially religious in nature?

I suppose we could, but this leaves a pretty thin curriculum.
At first I was very pro-Theranos but their behavior, particularly the CEO, has given me great concern. I'm sad to say aside from the media coverage, I'm starting to think this was all a fishing expedition wrapped in a fraudulent pitch of actual science and technology. I'm also seriously irked that the tech media didn't probe as critically as they should have in the beginning.
Sure, but a read receipt (if you even get one) is ambiguous. I can assume that you're thinking about how to respond, but responding immediately with "hmm" is an explicit acknowledgement indicating that you need to need a moment to consider. If it seems weird, I'd chalk it up to the general awkwardness of trying to translate useful, non-verbal aspects of communication into textual analogs.

Interesting. "anal" is a bad word in English, but not in German. On the other hand, "naked" is a bad word in German, but not in English.

Maybe I should send a pull request...
The article's quote that explain the title cliffhanger is:

> Instead, we ask those who sincerely believe that it does make sense to organize our discipline entirely around European and American figures and texts to pursue this agenda with honesty and openness.

> We therefore suggest that any department that regularly offers courses only on Western philosophy should rename itself “Department of European and American Philosophy.”

In my view, up until this point, a very rational proposal, in line with the change from "Computer Science" to (for instance) "Information Technology" in courses that skip the whole mathematical foundation to focus exclusively on the applied technological disciplines.

However, the follow up of the reasoning sounded too judgmental with an unnecessary passive aggressive tone:

> This simple change would make the domain and mission of these departments clear, and would signal their true intellectual commitments to students and colleagues.

I'm neither Black nor American, but I found this speech very inspiring, a call for understanding and empathy in times of strife and social conflict.

"But we must expand our moral imaginations to understand and empathize with all people who are struggling, not just black folks who are struggling -- the refugee, the immigrant, the rural poor, the transgender person, and yes, the middle-aged white guy who you may think has all the advantages, but over the last several decades has seen his world upended by economic and cultural and technological change, and feels powerless to stop it. You got to get in his head, too."
Curious regarding the story behind its development.
"So, when you apply a measurement operator on the state of particle a, you know something about particle b in the entangled case."

You do now know something about particle b, but your explanation suggests that information existed all along.
Yeah, this. NYC issues ~$500 mil in parking tickets per year. If this were a rational issue, someone would look at that and say "Wow. We must be doing something wrong, this is way too many tickets written. Are the street signs clear enough?"

I'm kind of making fun, but they don't want to fix the problem because those tickets are a genuine revenue stream for the city. When the revenue from parking tickets goes down, everyone panics.

That said, David enthusiastically taught us about 100% white dude based approaches to forming a foundation for cognitive science. He's a good politician but I think he ultimately believes deep down that modern western science > zen BS for explaining the world, although he claims he basically will draw from anything if it seems consistent enough with his foundation.

Clear room prevented any copyright claims on the implementation, but if the API itself between the bios and the OS/application was copyrightable [1], or even between the bios and the hardware, there wouldn't be any PC clones at all.

Law, ethics, language, &c.

These authors conveniently cite a stat that says how many professors are not teachers of "non-Western philosophy" (i.e. the History of Philosophy, a subject that students should know quite well before they even enter college, and very few professors should have to waste their time with). Unfortunately for any semblance of an argument worth publishing, that stat is horribly misleading in the context of knowing all of the other philosophical specialties that exist, which could be called not-non-Western. I wish the NYT would stop giving conservatives such effective fuel with which to characterize progressives as illogical shills.
We are aware of zapchain and their issues. I'd like to point that zapchain is not completely decentralized - it is rather a hybrid application using servers for content distribution and blockchain for payments.

Regarding security/spam - Proof of Work is not the only way you can secure networks; one of the interesting potential solutions we explored is a sort of Proof of Stake mechanism.

Basically this would allow a sort of "deposit" scheme where you would deposit an X amount of tokens for an Y amount of time and depending on the feedback received such as votes for example you would either get the deposit back or lose it. That would make it expensive to spam while not affecting the people generating good content as they would get back their tokens.

Things get a bit tricky when we're talking about controversial topics and how that would be treated but that's a different thing.

That being said, this is an open and complex discussion that probably will take a while to figure out.

In the meantime we're happy with proving that it is possible to have a completely decentralized publishing system that doesn't need any servers, creating in the process a product that empowers people with unfettered freedom of expression. One step at a time :)

That would be very nice, actually. If your philosophizing requires the supernatural to make sense, it's not very good.
I like your explanation better than the article's, but I must assume what you are saying is also a simplification (as was the article).

Throwing a mention of Atanosoff at Iowa State university in here, who's contributions were significant, but little known.
One other thing I've noticed especially in large offices is instead of using 'umm' and 'uhh', they speak in such a droning monotone that it makes Ben Stein's classic exaggerated dull speech sound like Freddy Mercury by comparison. This is especially present when the subject of conversation is something neither the speaker nor the listener cares about.

Is there a training program or book that can help somebody get away from this kind of speech? A Baptist preacher can read the phone book and make it sound captivating, but the people I'm talking about could read the speech from Independence Day and make it sound dull, so that has to be an acquired skill that can be applied regardless of the subject.

Cost is unlikely to be most important. If it were the CDN could just buy the cheapest transit, accept a default route and call it a day.

This is strange advice, but the best advice I can give: don't be looking for a job - instead look to help interesting people, to get to know them, and to establish lasting relationships.

These people will get to know you, will find out about jobs you might like way before the recruiters do, or before they are posted on job sites, sometimes even before they're announced. They'll know, and want, to let you know about the jobs too, and you'll do the same for them.

This strategy has worked very well for me, and I've built a network of amazing friendly people in the process.

The trick to this strategy is to always be connecting (nod to Glengarry Glen Ross there), before you ever are in need of a job. If you are in need of one and haven't done that, then I'd advise like others have here and try to leverage what network you have.

The author clearly thinks philosophy is some kind of school of esoterism and after life.
It's true though. Engaging speakers use those pauses as breaks to allow the audience to catch up and digest what was just said where as "umm" instills the idea that the speaker isn't prepared and is hunting for what to say next.
Pretty much everything you just said could have car replaced by the word phone, and you'd sound just like MS BB or Nokia in 2007. "Clever internals but crappy ux" describes pretty much every car ever. Regarding dealerships, ever heard of Tesla? It's definitely possible to diy, and Tesla has nothing compared to Apple's resources.
Why do people feel the need to dictate to others what they should do? The authors of this piece are professors of philosophy. If they feel that teaching non-Western philosophy is crucially important and offers substantial advantages that cannot be obtained by studying only Western philosophy, then why don't they just simply teach non-Western philosophy.

All the advantages they presume to exist by doing so will surely accrue to them, and others will follow suit in time.

Apple sure has shot. But it's upphill battle.
This push toward "multicultural" philosophy feels oddly out of place in a time when most philosophy departments are moving/have moved firmly toward logic, philosophy of science, and/or cognitive science.

At my undergrad university, the philosophy department, in terms of courses taught and faculty research, was basically a cognitive science department in all but name. I know there are other programs that lean similarly toward math/logic, philosophy of science or epistemology.

In such programs, the Western philosophers the article is complaining about warrant at most a course of two in the history of philosophy (ironically called "History of Western Philosophy" in many universities for many years).

This sounds more like some kind of ideological/political battle that the authors may be fighting in their departments more than any kind of overriding statement about how philosophy is taught in most schools.
That's one of the major topics of philosophy.

Our thoughts were that if it reaches a tip over point of traffic,to eventually include limited ads, or affiliate type links to help monetize. Similar to the way google started.

I'm a lone dev too. I've been using microservices with Google App Engine. By using some templates and some conventions I find it easy to create modular back-ends.

Basically I design using fairly detailed use cases and data model. Then each scenario in the use cases is implemented as a microservice. This approach makes single responsibility design rather easy. As business requirements evolve, the updated use cases lead to changes and additions. All rather neat and easy.

Does the research only apply to the Veyron? I'd be surprised if they can't use advances there in other lines of cars or get patents that they can profit from when used by other car manufacturers.

It does however speak to good marketing to say "we make this car for the love of making cars" rather than "we use this as a way of targeting R&D that we can then exploit in other vehicle lines".

> How long until the next extension API that will get it right This Time?

WebExtensions are likely to be The One True API. Chrome, Opera, Edge, and Firefox all support them, and we're all working on standardizing them at the W3C: https://www.w3.org/community/browserext/

> If I wanted handicapped extension APIs, I'd just use Chrome.

Though we're trying to avoid reinventing wheels, we're not limiting ourselves to Chrome's APIs. For example, https://bugzil.la/1242871 extends Chrome's webRequest API to provide additional metadata needed by the NoScript and RequestPolicy add-ons. The initial development is focused on Chrome parity, since that covers most add-ons, but once we get there you'll see more of an emphasis on landing APIs that are needed by existing, more powerful Firefox add-ons.
