Heh that makes sense. Do you expect these AI capabilities to grow until their poetry is indistinguishable from ours? I think i'd be a little sad about that. I'm all for AI synthesizing the hell out of some new molecules or curing a few diseases, poetry though...that feels like our thing.

But doesn't money-laundering concern illegally obtained money? From the article, it claims that Espinoza would use Bitcoins for an illicit purpose. The money he was using was not knowingly obtained through illicit purposes.

>For that $30,000, Espinoza had agreed to sell a slew of bitcoins, the almost unregulated virtual currency, which Arias’s character said he would exchange for stolen Russian credit-card numbers.

While you could argue for the need for women only code camps in the United States and Western Europe due to the already established tech scene that has a huge imbalance of men vs women, in a country with an emerging tech scene like Senegal, I don't think women only code camps are justified.

In emerging tech scenes such as in Senegal, there is a chance to make programming be perceived as a human activity instead of a male or female activity. In that case, using Western funding and influence to tilt the balance towards making programming a female dominated activity through women only code camps is frankly sexist.

We cannot solve our Western male advantage sexist programmer culture by creating a female advantage sexist programmer culture in other parts of the world.
You probably have heard of campaigns to reduce smoking. These diseases (e.g., COPD and the related emphysema/chronic bronchitis) are strongly linked to smoking.

In the mid 90s, I remember seeing some anti-smoking campaigns that used people with tracheotomies (see ref 1); these folks almost definitely had lower respiratory disease.

Your point is well-taken - we hardly spoke about addiction as a medical health problem until recently.

I appreciate it but for me it requires an additional step. Your response, in addition to being thoughtful is one data point to answering my initial question :).
Plus they pay obscene amounts of money in lobbying. I'm guessing they are a White House darling.

I like Google, they do some good stuff but some practices are clearly just very shady. What happened to "Do no evil" google?
"Money laundering" in a court means whatever the law says it means. Try re-reading the case, replacing "money laundering" with "money services crime under some Florida law".
Chomsky's model is almost certainly wrong [see George Box]. It's been useful. In part because Chomsky writes well.
It's a lot easier to ignore someone that you don't want to talk to by letting it just ring than it is answering it. Then they KNOW you don't want to talk to them.

I agree with literally nothing this dude said. The old mac interface was needlessly complicated and distracting. Simple is better! I don't want to spend time deciphering what some thing is supposed to be. It is a waste of brain cycles. Just give me a memorable glyph that is different enough from the other ones to not be tough to spot, and let me focus on what's important. My work!
> As for running circles around people while using a GUI, while I accept there are specialised fields and exceptions that disprove the rule, outside of marketing presentations I just don't see it happen. As much as any generalisation can be valid, the GUI does not run circles around anyone that can actually program and is generally the mark of the computer novice/consumer...

I wonder. Every time I see a colleague using command line to do git operations I get itchy and think to myself "oh, come on! I could've done this in gui in seconds". Each interface has its time and place, but to me using a GUI is more of a mark of valuing one's time than that of a novice.

There's some good points in the article, in particular the draining of color from the Finder sidebar and a few other glaring usability issues that haven't been addressed.

But, man, seriously, the original Time Machine UI was garbage. The Yosemite version is so, so, so, so much better. It's not great, but it's a lot better than what it used to be.
This is likely caused by Sweden and Germany being very open to immigration from other parts of the world. Sweden and Germany were very high on the list back in the day, but after relatively high streams of immigration during the late 1900's the average height has dropped.

I don't see anything particularly sexist nor insulting about a company having a target demographic. Most companies that sell products do.

That said, I was thinking along similar lines a few weeks ago. I was at a home improvement store browsing the power tools for a jig saw when I came across a hot pink drill kit.

"Hot pink?" I thought to myself. "Did they see that the number of women interested in home improvement is rising and figure that women are simple enough to fall for that? To buy your shitty drill just because it's pink?"

Feeling grumpy, I told my mom about it over lunch the next day. My mom bought an old foreclosed-on house in BFE Appalachia last year, and took it upon herself to renovate it -- it went from complete, unlivable dump to nice, cozy home as she replaced the floors, the ceilings, the roof, the cabinets, all of the bathroom fixtures, all of the doors, etc. My mom is no girly-girl and has never been afraid to get her hands dirty, and she's physically stronger than most men I know (including myself). To my surprise, upon hearing about the pink drill, she declared, "I want one!"

Let me tell you, my mother is far from simple. Beyond being strong, dedicated, and resourceful, she's also very intelligent. I know that she knows that the company doesn't actually care about women doing home improvement and is just trying to make a quick buck by "tapping" a market that's already been tapped by your typical orange or yellow or black unisex drill. But you know what? If you like something, you just like it, even if it happens to be stereotypical for you to like it. Stereotypes exist for a reason, and businesses would not be constantly wielding them in attempts to appeal to their target demographics if they didn't work in the market. There's clearly no ill-intent behind it, just business.

If I were out buying eyeglasses and saw an advert for some new sort of lens or coating to suit people who stare at computer screens all day, and the advert featured a nerd typing furiously on a computer with a fake lightsaber mounted on the wall and a set of D&D books on the shelf, should I be insulted? Or should I be glad that someone is finally making glasses for me? Chances are, I'd be excited. I might even wait around for a bit to see if I can find a new cleric for my party...

It's also worth noting that senses may actually take advantage of the inherent noise to improve sensitivity of low level signals using stochastic resonance -- random resonances of noise and actual signal boosts the measured signal to a level that is detectable, thus permitting detection of signals that are actually below the (noise free) detection sensitivity. Such mechanisms have been observed in animal sensory systems, and is believed to have a role in mammalian visual processing.
Bottle necked on the CPU, yes, but probably only on a single (or a small number) of threads on the CPU. Xeon Phi will give you lots of slow threads. For the CPU you'd be better off getting a low-core-count processor with the best clock rate you can find/afford. The gamer-oriented i7 extremes are usually good.
May be it is true for populations but not for individuals ?
Yes, but it becomes much harder to do once precedent is set. Interest groups spring up around the current status quo, and it takes a lot of momentum to convince the general population that a change is necessary. If EVERYONE is using Bitcoin and their effective tax rate is 15%, I don't think changing the tax rate to align with income tax rates will go over very well.
Yahoo has Jim Cramer always flacking for it's stock. He thinks Yahoo is gr8 because it features his worthless stock tips. Boo-yah!
I had a strange mental illness period a few years ago. In my opinion, Dr Peter Breggin and others with similar believes are right. To some people, like slow metabolizers, these psychiatric drugs, are the cause of suicide and other irrational behavior.
The author says "Indeed, there appears to be a slight elevated risk of suicide in people taking some antidepressants, especially young people. But the effect is tiny". I think the word "tiny" is the problem here. The effect is not "tiny". It is simply misunderstood or ignored.
LOL! Journals are now resorting to clickbait tactics!
The biggest threat that other people have mentioned is using social engineering to get a new SIM card that works with your telephone number. I have a google alert for "sim swap fraud". It's oddly under-reported in the US, but quite common everywhere else. How bad is this?? Well, what if at attacker obtained more information about you (ie security questions possibly obtained from a keylogger), then was able to get your phone number, then contacted your bank or other investment broker and drained your accounts? Yes it happens- all the time. It's about time that NIST declares this form of 2FA insufficient. Hopefully the rest of the world will take notice, soon.

I prefer OTP... hopefully there aren't any other RSA-type hacks in the future.
Right, though that doesn't mean that there is anything selecting for suicide either. It's an uncontrolled variable.

Some species to kill of one parent to provide the offspring with energy. Maybe with more mass extinction events you'd start finding species that die of natural causes when population growth becomes too large.
Dear god, really? A charity is trying to help 100 women out. That's going to be the tipping point in the battle of the sexes?

By mentioning coffee in the same breath, you're implying that coffee is an objectively good idea (it's not).

Just because an idea catches on doesn't mean it is good. Case in point: every "viral" music video, 80s hair and nu-metal.

Do take varying diets and local culture in consideration when you push for such stuff. Lithium is almost certainly harmless, but adding zinc to the water will probably cause health problems for some people.

It may be a case of doing it, and warning people not to eat too much of it. But you need actual research to discover that.
I believe that what we're seeing is declarative paradigm used as subsystems / domain specific languages that do a particular core task accurately and efficiently, but surrounded with a general purpose "scripting environment" in which you do the messy interfaces with the surrounding world and users.

Besides the obvious SQL example, the current ML systems such as Tensorflow are a great illustration; you declare a particular computation graph and then the system "just executes it" over multiple GPUs.

Agreed upon code words in the message. I had a friend who was told that if she received a call regarding a particular sensitive matter, the person on the phone would start the call (whether she answered or not) with "Hey, it's Jenny" If someone was listening in to the call/message, it'd be easy to just say "Sorry, I think you have the wrong number."

Trouble is, sometimes people feel uncomfortable bringing up the subject, so it takes the professional who is calling bringing it up to see any benefit.

I do not think that a checkbox is appropriate - at any point, you might become concerned with the privacy of a matter, or you might not realize that privacy is a concern for you. For instance, consider someone who accidentally listens to a message stating that they are now pregnant, at work. Their employer now has advanced notice of a pregnancy, but no knowledge of the employee's intentions with regard to work. That is going to change the dynamic of the workplace, even if the employer does not intend anything nefarious. I really think the only graceful solution to this is agreed code words.

> Do they? It's one thing to say 'i dont want to live' or "i wish i was dead", and another to actually go through the processes to do that

I think everyone has the capability, just as they have to murder. That they have not found circumstance such that they can conceive of it taking place doesn't mean they can't. People discover surprising (for good and ill) things about themselves when pushed to their limits and beyond.

> I often wonder if a man stranded alone in an island , without any societal pressures would ever consider suicide.

Whilst they'd be free of debt collectors, divorce, job loss, shame and the various other factors that may increase suicide, they'd also have new factors. For instance perhaps the island has no, or inadequate food and water. If you had a revolver and the prospect of starving to death considering surely suicide may be considered?

What of disease or serious injury?

It's fine if you want to medicate yourself with lithium, but it's not acceptable to forcibly medicate everyone else.

The studies you linked to show an interesting correlation between lithium in water supplies and reduced suicide levels, but you can't judge the net benefit on a single metric alone. Lithium is not without side effects, and it's unreasonable to suggest that the vast majority of the population that is otherwise healthy be subjected to those side effects for the incremental benefit of a select few. The magnitude of these side effects may be relatively small in the levels we're talking about, but the net effect is likely not negligible when applied to entire populations over the course of their lifetimes.
As I said, it makes me sad. Because you're wrong. You've internalized this as though it were a fact, so you don't even try. And the only one it hurts is you.
Microsoft has clearly identified this weakness as well. It's no coincidence the bash prompt has suddenly become available in windows...

Yes and no.

Ubiquitous language depends on agreement between all the major stakeholders -- technology and business alike (That's why it's ubiquitous)

I'd shoot for that, and give DDD a pass. It's difficult, nary impossible, to get even medium-sized groups of people in alignment in regards to language. So do the analysis, keep working on that, and leave the code to the coders. That's a win.

But it ain't architecture. It's analysis.

Sidebar: does anybody do analysis any more? I see either complete neglect of it, it being done as some sort of rote order-taking, or as the full-pass-through OOA/D/P in the GP.
Human evolution is very much a work in progress. Many things that hurt survival are around because other things are more important.

Evaluate these 50,000 options as pass fail. Change a few randomly, shuffle with another set. Repeat.

Sure, it works for minor things eventually. But, in the short term only the most major things have noticeable impact.
One of the points of TMMM is that communication and coordination overhead is a cost and a risk and that it grows exponentially in relation to the number of programmers you have. So, you won't get double the productivity out of twice as many programmers (unless they're on unrelated projects--but more projects == more overhead as well).

200 hour weeks would be quite unsustainable, indeed. Forget not sleeping, where do you get the other 32 hours?

The highlight point of how to keep things from being "lost forever" is the download button. As long as a hundred or a thousand people download these PDFs and keep them, the preservation retains. Someday they'll even potentially be public domain.

While a streamlining of UI elements is not necessarily a bad thing (especially as the meaning of metaphors sink into the general public's consciousness), I have noticed that it takes me longer to find and converge to the right app icons on the dock & app switcher.

It seems the general trend regarding logos is "blobs of color in some abstract pattern". And those that still depict some meaning end up blending in, by adopting the same approach of using multiple sturated primary colors. Maybe it's just me but visually, they all register the same in my brain and I need to take a second look to tell them apart. And if I need to take a second look, the whole advantage of an icon vs. a keyword is lost.
Zines are amazing! Keep it up!
it is most likely a contributor. Sky pursued a pub owner through the courts nearly a decade ago because she got a Sky satellite subscription in Greece (much cheaper than the UK) and then brought the device and the CAM (the Sky card) back to the UK to show to her patrons. She argued that the EU has free flow of goods and services (which it does), but it doesn't (yet) have unified licensing. She wound up winning her case. Cases like this have forced the EC to have a look at the issue with more vigour.

If the UK decides to stay in the EEA (European Economic Area) then the chances are very high that these rules will still apply to the UK; i.e. get a Sky subscription from Greece or Cyprus and watch it in the UK. It would also force Sky to pay much much more for Europe wide exclusive movie deals.
To add to this, I think there are many people who just plain wouldn't like do this. Even if they're unhappy or depressed they'd rather not have that feeling taken away by a mood stabilizer.

I'm not going to argue with the fact that it results in "better" outcomes in some people's minds, but personally I'd rather accept an increased suicide risk. I'm sure I could take any number of mind-altering substances every day and I'd feel great, but that doesn't mean it's something I want to do.
> It seems unlikely that nationally-funded organizations will be made to cover bandwidth to stream outside their countries.

I have been listening for years and from all around the world to FIP, BBC Radio 2/3/4, RAI Radio 2/3, Deutschlandradio Kultur and NPR. I do not see why TV should be treated differently.

Maybe Europe just needs to ask the EBU (European Broadcasting Union) to focus more on Internet and set up a state-run/sponsored network of multicast/unicast servers that can take care of broadcasting radio and TV over IP. The pan-european university network GÉANT is based on a similar concept and has been working very well (much better than commercial operators) for decades.
The idea that products around teeth, glasses, hearing and so on are so much better than 20 years ago and even if they just progress linearly I have two or three more rounds of these improvements really calms me when thinking about mortality.

Society is natural.
The cash is still legal tender, but it can be used to catch the culprits. IIRC currently around half of cash travels just for a single transaction (i.e. ATM->person->shop->bank); and ATMs would know which particular serial numbers were handed out; so for a large case you can find out where the particular banknotes were spent and that can be combined with camera recordings to find the involved people.

But in an automatic way, no, a public list of known fraudulent serial numbers would not be sufficient in the current legal environment; it would be impractical to mandate everyone to check such a list at every transaction for every single banknote.
Sure, but it also means that people can use a card from a different country to buy the much cheaper version to watch at home.
In my opinion, this article focuses on all the wrong things. Things that matter in OSX to me - and why I continue to choose it as my most basic tool for work - are:
- exceptional workspaces and swipe navigation
- the safety of time machine backups
- for the most part things are very fast and the OS gets out of the way of what I am trying to do
- I have not wasted any time on hardware/OS compatibility issues
- I only reboot every few months, if that
- battery life is excellent (os is not a hog)

Quite honesty I could give a shit what the icons look like as long as the OS is a reliable and fast tool to do my work. time machine saves your ass, who cares that the icon doesn't meet your tastes.
