Poor brainwashed idiots who have been hooked on these piles of unmaintainable Java EE crap (impossible to replace), written by a legion of amateurs coders from outsourcing sweatshops, which everyone is now trying to get rid of. "Java - write once, run away!" is not just a meme - it could be seen.

It is not a coincidence that Oracle "lost interest" in Java EE - the whole ecosystems is a total disaster, the monument of bureaucracy, packer's mindset and human stupidity.

But it seems that NodeJS ecosystem is on track to outperform even this.)
I think Freddie had the best voice among rock musicians (and still has perhaps).

And it it's not just his voice, but his energy and his presence on stage as well. It is just amazing to watch him work the crowd at Live Aid 1985:

Yes, they are likely DECT, my last job we used Plantronics CS500 headsets which are in fact DECT. Though, regardless of the protocol used (DECT 6.0 uses 1.9GHz) congestion is always an issue with that many devices in close proximity, especially at the range I can take DECT headsets - in fact, this is why I bought a CS500 for home use along with the EHS adapter for my Polycom Soundpoint IP 335, it's nice that I can be on a conference call for work and go out to the garage to grab something quick without having to carry my phone in my pocket.
If you are looking for seamless integration, you need to buy into an ecosystem. An ecosystem that offers all/most of these pieces of software and integrates them well. Obviously, not a lot of ecosystems exist that offer all these pieces.

Based on your apps list (Box, Drive, Email, Slack, Salesforce), there are two ecosystems that offer alternatives to all these apps - Microsoft & Zoho (I am with Zoho). Google is also in the mix if you add apps from Google Apps Marketplace.

So there are two options.
1) Pick an integrated ecosystem and integrate missing apps.
2) Pick independent apps and integrate all of them

You clearly are doing #2 and experiencing the challenges. It is only going to get exponentially worse as you add more apps into the mix.
What about price inflation amongst these necessities resulting from immediate increase in money supply within poor population? I can't understand how this wouldn't be an issue... Would housing prices not rise accordingly, for example?
Nope is often a great strategy when asked to do something impractical. It's better when its followed up with an alternative, but stopping someone from building something terrible early on is much better than having them try to fix it after the fact.
Did you hear the news? Women have sex drive. Half the men on this planet could be drooling on themselves and they'd still get laid.

Historically, unemployed men have no income whatsoever. That's the recipe for political unrest. Not men who "can't compete" for mates, however you imagine that could happen.
Does it matter in this case? If the remaining headphone users stick with whatever headphones come packaged with their phone for free, then they still wouldn't be using the audio jack with the iPhone 7, as the iPhone 7 comes packaged with lightning headphones.
It's not about attentiveness. Car radios, speakerphones and conversations don't block out ambient noise the way ear buds tend to do.

Like many of the comments today, a matter of opinion. It does seem to be a transitional form. So similar to the previous wired EarPods.

Blaming school?

School forces you to interact with others from a wide range of backgrounds.

This is the worse argument ever, it's exactly the cure.

Besides which, school isn't there to baby you, that's supposed to be the parents job.

Sure as back up for people with abusive parents, but the concept it should be the default is very scary.

It's 7 hours a day, what's happening the other 6?

Cultural critics like to blame individuals for behavior like this, but in Japan's case it's mostly economic.

Japan's economy was export dependent for a long time. The Japanese would manufacture more than they consumed and sell the surplus to the world. This ended when the Asian Tigers repeated the strategy at lower cost. Meanwhile asset prices inflated wildly because people thought the good times would never end. Which they did in the early 90s.

With demand for Japan's surplus product less, and assets overpriced, Japan had to begin a painful process of deflation. I think house prices fell for over 20 years after the bubble burst.

Japan's economy began to bifurcate after this, with the remaining good jobs going to the best students and the other students left with temporary jobs. The stakes are high for Japanese students.

Fundamentally, the Japanese islands are crowded and not very resource rich. Exporting finished goods allowed the population to grow above the economic carrying capacity of the land, and now the population is falling to adjust to the new reality.

If Japan still had a go-go economy like it did in the 70s and 80s, I doubt there would be as many recluses.

Ok, try to make that argument. How is pouring the limited resources of very intelligent people into deriving information correlated with unreleased sales figures making the market that much more efficient to offset that cost? It's effectively the same thing as having them wiretap company executives, just much less efficient.

Polling email on the server is awfully wasteful. I like the "request an invite" pattern. Get an email address and nothing more, send the "invite", clear the form, tell them if they don't get an email in 5 minutes, check spam, still nothing, reenter the email. Don't associate the link with any particular session, just the entered address so there is no risk of leaking any private info, if they type in an address that actually belongs to someone else the only options the other person would have is ignore the email or sign up themselves. When they finally get their email right they'll get a link to a place where they can fill in the rest of the info and you can be assured they gave you the email address they wanted you to have.

Plutarch wrote 'Lives of the Noble Greeks and Romans' (also called Parallel Lives or Plutarch's Lives) somewhere around the second century AD and Shakespeare wrote 'Antony and Cleopatra' in 1606. Shakespeare took 'some' inspiration from Plutarch. Plutarch wrote in Greek, Shakespeare in Elizabethian English.

Here's Thomas North's translation of Plutarch's work:

"...she disdained to set forward otherwise but to take her barge in the River Cydnus, the poop whereof was of gold, the sails of purple, and the oars of silver, which kept stroke in rowing after the sound of the music of flutes, howboys, cithernes, viols, and such other instruments as they played up in the barge.

Here's Shakespeare's work:

"The barge she sat in like a burnished throne,
Burned on the water_ the poop was beaten gold;
Purple the sails and so perfumed that
The winds were lovesick with them; the oars were silver,
Which to the tune of flutes kept stroke, and made
The water which the beat to follow faster,
As amorous of their strokes"

This is definitely no coincidence. What's more interesting is that even though it's almost a fact that Shakespeare had Plutarch open while writing this, we can actually see him doing some creative work. He added some alliteration, and for some reason we humans love to listen to a series of words that all start with the same sound.
More demand does not always result in higher prices. Price depends on the elasticity of supply for all of the different goods as well. Some might increase, while others wouldn't.
It's kind of interesting to think about the public concern that'd be generated if this article was instead about the government and the New York Times buddying up to use the Time's bestseller book list to deradicalize people. People today can easily grasp the dangers of book censorship and propaganda, so it's alarming and interesting that social media gets such a pass.

p.s. I'm not saying that the NYT's bestseller list is free of manipulation, I'm saying they don't openly acknowledge such manipulations to the public.
Nice comment. In my opinion, in reality you are not comparing to your peers. Instead, you are your peers. There is a quote, something like, you are the average of your best 6 friends. To some degree, I think it makes sense because they basically serve as your inspiration and collaborators.

Personally I would not want to attend a second-tier school/lab as a PhD student, spending half a decade with some mediocre people. I mean, if one truly wants to stand out among the peers/crowds, isn't it a better idea to do really excellent research rather than lower your peers' quality.

Currently I am in a top research group and I might not be the top 1% of my graduating class; yet, I am confident that I am having my best time to learn from my great peers.
There's no question whether video games are art. We need to move past that false dilemma.

The question is whether individual video games qualify as quality or "good" art.

Unfortunately, I think the answer is generally a "no". But the potential is certainly there. It's a very new medium.
Stop using vlookup. Use index and match, either through named references as Joel does it or just manually even. It's more powerful, faster and less prone to failure because vlookup relies on an assumed order of sorting but most people won't know this and will wonder why it's cocking up.

One day I want to write a game that is as powerful for me as Tonari no Totoro. It's a silly kids movie, but it simply drips Japan. I can't even put into words how complete that movie is. From the unspoken backdrop of the story, to the lush scenery, to the sounds of nature, to the character design... Virtually every frame has something to offer the viewer.

To me it is a historical artifact. Just like the author mentions of games, it transports my life to that of a child in post war Japan. I have not played any game that gives an experience like that. I am actually quite a big fan of fantasy, science fiction and fiction in general, but this movie blows me away by how real it is (despite containing a bus made out of a cat).

I think video games have a lot of potential, but generally lack focus. In fact the long running nature of games and ability to explore everything works against them. The more freedom you give the user, the harder it is to focus them. They push the boundaries and find that there is nothing behind them. Alternatively, they are locked into a perspective unnaturally.

Video games are a great medium for art, but I think there is still a lot of virgin territory to explore.
> Much of your freedom goes to learning to play politics

That's crazy. The way to get a great reference is to do outstanding work. If by 'playing politics' you mean not pissing people off by being an asshole or being unreliable, then, yeah, take care to be a good colleague. But almost entirely: do really good work.
You can setup jobs to run that fire when CloudWatch alerts fire noting that your bill is going up or that your hit rate for certain objects is going way up. I think there's a way to setup billing such that you can't exceed a certain amount in a month but that's a weird situation to try to hard stop charges without deleting everything in your account.
> Doesn't seem to line up very well with "Move fast and break things"

When it comes to security around my personal data, I don't want anyone to move fast or break things. Businesses should either not bulk collect identifiable data or treat it with the care and diligence it deserves.

And while we're at it if 20 year old self taught rockstar programmers don't have the skills to do that, maybe they should learn. If you're making web software which stores personal information and you can't name 5 of the OWASP top 10 without looking them up, you're a privacy time bomb. I want my personal data far far away from your product.

When it comes to security, move slowly and fix your shit.

Totally agree that you shouldn't be much concerned about what other people think. (Especially on the Internet.)

I don't agree that thinking about what you want to do with your life is a waste of time. I also don't think you need to decide on this alone - talking to other people about it seems quite okay.

This is often depression from failure to meet early career expectations. The Japanese, like many Asian cultures, are a highly driven society where career goals are set very early in life by the parents. In such a competitive society, failure to secure a highly sought after starting job with a good company, after attending some of the best colleges & universities, is a social stigma, and causes withdrawal from friends and family members. Prolonged withdrawal often turns into a real clinical depression. The protective nature of the Asian family allows this withdrawal from society to continue longer than initially planned, and soon their motivation to move forward in life is lost. Prolonged lack of work becomes hard to explain in resumes and job interviews, which further perpetuates this unfortunate phenomena.

This societal situation combined with Japans's extreme economic shift (from miracle economy to great stagnation)to create this perfect storm that is Hikikomori.
Please, don't do a PhD. The tenure track treadmill is brutal and on the wane. You would be much happier just getting a job. A normal job. With ordinary people. And I say that after a masters degree, many years in a PhD program and the having a normal job. A PhD is sort of useless at this point in history.

HTML/CSS with lambdatalk
(For the record, yes this is how it worked.)
I mean, that seems like a kind of important question to me.

Also, I don't really reject the possibility of there being a fact of the matter as to the aesthetic quality of things.

I don't really affirm it either, and if it is true I'd say it is entirely permissible to have aesthetic preferences that go against the true fact of the matter as to aesthetic quality.

And if it turns out that there is no fact of the matter as to aesthetic quality, then arguments that something is of good aesthetic quality could often be transformed into explanations of why that person has those preferences, which still seems like it could be worth knowing.

So, I think it could make sense to not reject all arguments for a thing being of good aesthetic quality

Right. Wholeheartedly agree. Sanitize all input. If you _KNOW_ input you're receiving is invalid, throw it away.

Also whether you use RegExp on email or not totally depends on what you're doing with the address. Are you throwing that email into Salesforce? Great! Salesforce does RegExp validation on all email addresses and the field is required. You _HAVE_ to do it. Solution? Use the same validation that Salesforce does. That's what I do.

Also the OPs math about how common invalid email addresses are is wrong. Do you know what the most common way of screwing up an email address is? Hitting tilde when you're tabbing away from the field. And that error is in the tenths or hundreds of a percent range (which is still significant). I have a dataset of 5MM email addresses typed in by jaded call center agents to prove it.

> Top companies are even more exclusive than PhD programs in terms of acceptance rate.

Acceptance rate is meaningless unless the base populations are the same. Considering only the (hopefully) top graduates are interested in applying for PhD, whereas most graduates have to look for jobs, acceptance rates between grad school and companies are really comparable.

> I think it's patently ridiculous that professors get "authorship" credit on papers even when they had a minimal, at best, role in it.

Think of professor as a spiritual mentor. I don't think Jony Ive put his hands on the drawing of latest apple watches anymore, and he gets to sit in the white room every year. It's the philosophical guides he puts into his team that earn him the privilege.

In terms of material compensation, I totally agree with you that companies generally pay much better. The credit part is really nominal. I've know some people working in google, facebook. Their projects range from google cardboard, google daydream, fb live video, to fb 360 video. Honestly, I have never seen their names/credits anywhere else but our private conversations. It's nowhere to be found.
