Note, article is not talking about bit rot, I think that's confusing a lot of people.

The point might be clearer as:

"Adaptability and efficiency are opposing priorities."

Ecosystems face this too. A stable environment will lead to adaptations that improve efficiency, while creating new dependencies on everything staying the same. In a sense, species are constantly competing to make the ecosystem more fragile.

If this holds, there are broad impacts to information systems outside of software. broader impact of this. We like to fantasize about the mind being immortal. Maybe we could fix the telemere thing, figure out cancer, hop our brain to a clone, or upload our consciousness to some cloud.

But in my experience, being mentally alive involves some mix of plasticity and progressive refinement. You can't have both forever.
Scotland and Norther Ireland are about to be kicked off the EU farm subsidy gravy train.

"In 2015, 21,460 Scottish businesses received a CAP payment from EC funds. Of these, 18,875 businesses received £415 Million for Pillar 1 payments (SFPS 2014 and SBS 2014). £198 Million (EC +National money) was paid out on Pillar 2 (SRDP) schemes. The total amount received by each beneficiary is shown under three headings: Direct Aid schemes (i.e. Single Farm Payment and the Scottish Beef Scheme) and Rural Development (SRDP) schemes. There may also be a small number of payments made to a few businesses under Market (intervention) schemes."[1] Northern Ireland, £433m.[2]

The UK gets out of contributing to EU farm subsidies, but overall, subsidies were income for the UK. The "Leave" proponents claimed that the UK would offer similar subsidies after leaving the UK, but that's up to Parliament and the voters.

Payouts tend to be in the $250 - $5,000 range, IME skewing toward the bottom end for most bugs. If it takes 1-3 weeks to find one valid bug, economically that's not going to make sense for an employed US-based developer to spend their time pursuing. Those figures could allow for an income in the range of $10-$20k, which is ₹1M -- this chart gives an idea of how much money that is:

You said "13% of the US population is black, but over 60% of those in prison are black."

Blacks have a six times greater homicide rate than the rest of the US population, according to FBI extended homicide data. Almost half of homicides in the US in the last year I checked were by African Americans.

With the long prison sentences given for violent crimes, violent crimes are disproportionately represented in prison populations. As a thought experiment, imagine that each year one person with a thirty year sentance was committed, and one person with a one year sentence. One the system stabled out, 97% of the prison population would be serving 30 year terms.

> Very apropos that the very embodiment of corruption, Hillary Clinton

Oh come on now. Yes, her entire life is politics and it's hard to trust her. But the embodiment of corruption? Try Somalia. Or North Korea. Or Afghanistan. Or Eritrea. Or Russia. If Hillary were truly corrupt she wouldn't have made it to the presidential race as one of the most scrutinized human beings living today—being untrustworthy is not the same as being corrupt. Being "woke" is only useful if you actually use it to make good decisions, and the only decision you made today was to complain.

In any case, the country is perpetually trampling constitutional rights in order to work out jurisprudence—find me a president who hasn't blatantly violated violated human rights. (Yes, Obama, killing children remotely with drones is an extreme human rights violation.) The court has not stopped functioning as it was intended. If you disagree, become a judge and/or vote for someone with your viewpoints and get them to propagate worthy judges through the system.

Now, I happen to think the judge was incorrect, but maybe wait until it fully works its way through the court system before declaring that "the system of laws has broken down". The very fact you threw that in casually leads me to conclude you've never seen anything near anarchy. However, causing irrational civil unrest with panic about government corruption is a good way to accelerate problems—just look at the recent brexit vote.
The problem with a mac as a developer machine is native libraries. The stars have to align for your F/OSS to work properly. Even brew punches itself in the throat regularly. On linux it just works. That said I use my mac more often than Linux, mostly because I spent so much money for it, go figure.
i don't think you meant "bad sample size," i think you meant "non-representative sample" or just "bad sampling design."

the parent referred to bias. the example you're giving is one where the sample is biased because of a poor choice of sampling method. so, i think you're actually agreeing with the parent (as well as danah).
No one expects these things. And I can't see it for a few years. But ... if the EU members starts falling like domino's, Europe will look very different in a few years time. Tensions with Russia (Ukraine?), the rise of regional independent movements (Catalan/Spain), the continued rise of the far right, reactions against increased terrorism, etc. Anything can become a touch point. And it all seems far-fetched until it happens. Cost of EU: Billions. Cost of War: Everything.

And your "abusive" quote is way off also. It's not about abuse, it's about, as per any negotiation, either side will try to extract as much value as they possibly can. And if there is a power differential between the participants, the one with the upper hand absolutely will make the other party pay a price, and if accepted, it will be a fair price per the market.

On the other hand, I have three children and I'm voting to make life good for them more than myself. They are old enough to vote, yes, but they have far less experience of looking at political life than I do. I'm not at all ashamed to vote the way I see best, and perhaps even tell it to my kids, even if I don't think it is wise to push that too much, or at all indeed.

Think of that quote attributed to Churchill - not liberal at 20 has no heart, and not conservative at 40 has no brain.
Thank you for the comment martinmoose. Please note that I never mention I am better than the other developers. As a matter of fact I specifically mention that is not the case in the conclusion of the article. What I do say is that with new tools such as React/Redux, you have the ability to become an expert because it is so NEW and long time programmers like yourself are also learning it at the same time as newbies. So in a year time, the difference between you and I when it comes to React/Redux might not be different, despite the difference in years at the job. That is what you should be convincing your interviewer: That your growth potential is higher than the rest.... plus all the other things beyond just technical experience.

> If after several years you don't repay it, it is wiped clean. What a deal.

I had to check this as I had not heard of that before. "Several years" is 25 years under income-based repayment (years before you switched to income-based repayment do not count). The loans are not "wiped clean" - whatever balance is forgiven after 25 years is counted as taxable income, so actually you would be in a worse off position after getting your loans forgiven. Source: http://www.finaid.org/loans/ibrfaq.phtml

All this of course only applies to federal student loans. About half of my wife's loan balances are from private lenders and from what I hear this ratio is common.
That doesn't directly translate to a color requirement in the font, though.
No, Brits aren't googling 'What is the EU?' because they don't know what EU is
If economics and prices were the cause of the crisis you would expect people's voting patterns to vary based on whether or not their profession's job pool scales up with population count. Yet I expect even most of those liable to be out of work if construction slows down with population growth to have voted to leave.
Regaining control was always about more than economic control. If you're in the EU, I hope you realise that you're currently being ruled by people you didn't elect, people in the pocket of big business, who have set out to concentrate power in the hands of a small selected group. I've heard some EU apologists claim that they don't believe in democracy, but some of us still do.
I'm sure you and the EU will come to an agreement that is both mutually beneficial and a reprisal to those who voted for the referendum. Like, England can have the same trade deals as members and English expats do not need visas to work abroad, buuuuut, in exchange, you guys need to accept a whole lot of refugees.

It's absolutely useful... I wasn't meaning to seem dismissive of that. It's just that I usually think of a lot of these things in terms of past compatibilities.
Ah, that's a good question. Yes and no.

Yes because there were deep systemic problems with the government and economy of the USSR at the time and the breakup was an inevitable result of the powers that be doing the wrong thing for so many years while business and some of the most productive citizens fled to Europe and the US. We're seeing the same thing right now in Venezuela, although Venezuela was never the world's second superpower. Also, Russia's biggest gains (and maybe what saved them after the collapse?) was energy in the form of oil and gas. Venezuela too. If alternative, readily available energy sources take off, this makes natural reserves of oil and gas less useful. Again, we're seeing all this play out now.

No because here we are today. The brexit and weakening of the EU will only strengthen Russia. Why support the EU over Russia? The EU, afaik, does not kill reporters and dissenters. That says a lot about a political organization's philosophy right there.

In general, I think it would be great if everyone on the planet lived in some kind of operationally transparent, porous, federated political structure, and Britain's involvement in the EU was a big step in that direction (which still had many steps to go). This is a step backwards. Meanwhile, today's Russia would do a lot better if they tried a carrot instead of a stick. In any case, now is not the time for leaders to get up from the table and walk away, it doesn't lead anywhere good.

GAE has some rough edges, to be sure. But once you know about them, the really hard stuff is dead easy to test. The official test stubs are awesome to work with. I live or die by them: they've never let me down. If it works with the stubs, it has always worked with the real thing.
Current distributions of property, wealth, access to services, etc. are all rooted in discriminatory laws and policies of the (not always distant) past. Which creates a risk that blindly pointing an algorithm at these data sets will result in an algorithm which assumes these are the expected/natural distributions and will optimize to perpetuate them, essentially becoming an algorithmic implementation of the prior discriminatory laws and policies.

Thus, unless the goal is to perpetuate the effects of discrimination, algorithms need to be carefully set up and trained to understand that "this isn't how things are supposed to be".

The Software Paradox
Cultural self hatred is common in the UK, especially in the liberal and middle classes, its part of the reason the left didn't mount a strong defense against the populism of the Brexiteers.
TBH, I think it would have to be a pretty good stance to actually warrant promotion. If everyone who took an oppositional stance to issues was promoted I don't think regular discourse would continue to occurr.
> I hope you realise that you're currently being ruled by people you didn't elect

Everyone in the EU is ruled by their own elected government. The unelected bureaucrats in Brussels don't rule anybody. Their ability to make decisions for member states is limited by treaties. In any case, the UK was significantly more independent than other EU states in terms of currency and economic issues.

> people in the pocket of big business, who have set out to concentrate power in the hands of a small selected group

Ah, conspiracy theories.
The article specifically addressed what's 'wrong' with cold brew:

"This is what happens in cold brew: the technique tries to make up for the relative insolubility of coffee at cold-water temperatures by brewing for a long, long time. This creates the illusion that you have made coffee- the resulting liquid is dark and tastes something like coffee- but many of the coffee solubles have never made it out of the grounds and into the liquid. Cold-water brewing has a way of deadening flavor, since the elusive and charming elements of flavor that make coffee special never get dissolved into the brew, and remain in the coffee grounds, which get thrown away."
Not binding for citizens. local governments have to conform to EU laws though.

Preaching to the choir here.
"it was created to prevent another world war and in that it has succeeded"

You couldn't be more wrong here. If anything the creation of the EU makes war much more likely, precisely because of the inevitability of its breakup. The UK is just the first to go, but many more countries will leave too, effectively finishing off the EU project. And with the end of the EU, comes the bitter divorce between European countries, which is fertile grounds for a new world war.
I don't think the VR versions of social networks will help promote empathy, but the VR versions of movies can do so in the same way that ordinary movies can, but perhaps even more effectively as they give the viewer presence, too.
Some places in the US do a shakerato; I know Cafe Ladro in Seattle does.
Well said. Your roast should complement your bean. Single origin ethiopian yirgacheffe/harar? Don't you dare roast that bean past light brown. The whole point of selecting where your coffee comes from is lost if you do something in the process to mask it's origin individuality (heavy roast / adding sugar etc). Some beans complement dark roasts well (I'm thinking like sumatras or heavy "dirt" flavored coffee), where dark, burnt earth tobacco flavors are awesome and complement very well, but most beans that you would care to spend the extra bucks won't.

Yes, but his reply reminded me of the saying 'it is better to keep quiet and be thought a fool, than speak and remove all doubt'.
This proposal shows more concern about being politically correct than actually correct. A truly unbiased system would just make the best analysis possible given the data available. What you propose is to make a biased system in order to give an advantage to one group of people rather than the other group. This type of political correctness fuels resentment.
Nope. As much as the EU is meant to promote trade, it is also self-serving, putting the interests of a fuller union ahead of the interests of member countries. To give an example, if member countries were truly respected then the Lisbon Treaty would not have passed, as similar proposals were democratically rejected by public referendums.

Just to make it slightly clearer this is about a "mathematical backdoor" not a software one.

This isn't about making a backdoor that looks like this:

}

This is about weakening the mathematical constructs of a DH implementation in a way that would not be noticeable even in a code review conducted by software security experts.

But that's about Farage, and it's pretty accurate reflection of what people think about him.
Except: "So long as man is approaching Ultimate Wisdom, he is still dwelling in the realm of consciousness. If he is to realise Nirvana, he must pass beyond the realm of consciousness.

He is already enjoying Nirvana." - Sutra of Transcendental Wisdom
