I just posted what I'd like to see built, so I don't necessarily have a vision :)

But a few remarks: I think that getting something like this off the ground is more a social challenge than a technical one. The biggest question is how to get everybody to use such system, and make it into a hub. I imagine it could help if such a system cooperated with existing places which are often visited by scientists, like sci-hub, arxiv. I'm not sure if Google scholar would be a good match (because of their non-openness and privacy issues), but perhaps they'd like to help. Of course there are technical challenges. Like how to run this in a federated space. And UX challenges, such as how to handle moderation. And also basic UX requirements like a good formula editor and diagram editor should be considered. And there will be questions like how to incentivize scientists to comment on their own results, and to help other people (while not necessarily being paid for it).

Lots of requirements and questions :) It is a pity that I don't have time to work on this myself. So good luck if you want to try this :)
What do you mean? Rust and cargo are in ports so you can just install them.
Yes it could be summarized as a window manager if it takes over all aspects of managing the computer through a GUI.

I develop with Mac OS and deploy my cloud services on Debian. I don't know much about Linux beyond apt-get upgrade, nginx, Ansible and Java apps. I know when I install Mac OS X that the progress bar is gray with no text on the screen, which means I don't need to dive into the technical details at any point from installation to writing a presentation, displaying it on an external screen through HDMI, tuning a mouse or plugging a printer. Has RHEL improved that much?

On step further is of course being able to install a good clone of Keynote (slideware), iMovie and an image editor for $40-80 each, but that's after the ecosystem starts gathering around the OS.
That was a lot of peoples problem with the TTIP - there were secret courts that we the people would never know about
They are also probably unhackable by modern means.
And there are probably packages as well if s/he doesn't want to wait a hour or so for rustc to build. This is a bit out of date but still:

Yeah but your client also knows that the features you develop won't actively fuck them over.

Besides, the public didn't find out the TTIP details as it was a "prototype", but more like a "release candidate."
But this is not about a basic prototype, as the deal was/is only supposed to be made public in it's final form - and then voted upon.

It's more like the heads of two partially rival companies decide they need to develop a new product, one ostensibly important enough that the companies future depend on it, or the rivals would not have a reason to do it. Enormous resources are poured into the project while stock owners, employees and nost of the board are kept in the dark. After a long time which have much contributed to the sense of urgency being much higher the board and stock owners get to vote.

There will likely be a strong tendency to ratify such a plan no matter the quality, not only because of sunk cost fallacy, but also in the sense of urgency and importance the construction of the process conveys.

No stock owners - or board - in their right minds should ever allow such a project to start, if they had the power to do so.

If producing a prototype is not possible, then if something is important enough to be negotiated for years, the decision to ratify it must be prescribed to take at least as long time as the negotiations themselves took. Otherwise the negotiators clearly are expecting to manipulate the ratification by construction.
But the flip side is surely that the chance that the whole deal is overthrown by the time legislators finally get to see it becomes a lot bigger.

I think they will not be done this way going forward, because these deals took ten years of negotations, and now they fail. It doesn't work anymore.

TL:DR; Moore's law can no longer be counted on for performance gains, so speeding up things will now be dependent on replacing general purpose hardware with hardware specifically designed to implement specific algorithms.

I should just let this be down voted but there needs to be overwhelming repeated rebuttals to this very misleading framing.

This whole thing tries to use the fact that no southern states voted for Lincoln to frame it like secession was actually just because they felt their voice wasn't being heard. What that ignores is that slavery was the main(almost only) economic driver in the south. The election was about slavery. The north was done with it. The vote was a signal to the wealthy and powerful of the south that the north was going to abolish slavery and there was nothing they could do about it. Sucession was their last attempt to keep the massive amount of money being made via slavery.

Schopenhauer is considered to be a pessimist, not an existentialist (though he did influence Nietzsche, who was an early existentialist, but Nietzsche's thought is significantly different from Schopenhauer's).

What evidence is there that the Asian philosophies you mention were anything like Sartre's existentialism?
Only corporate interests get to modify their files on YouTube. Everyone else has to delete and re-upload.

That sucks. And this shit's very close to the last straw.
There are upload logs. They can be subpoenaed.
They might turn out to be related in an unexpected way. For example, they might have redesigned the strut in such a way as to cause excessive stress on the surface of the tank near the attachment point, leading to rupture.

These systems are probably more complex than the cruddiest Enterprise software that any poor soul has ever had to maintain, so I guess anything is possible.
That the TTIP-like deals take years is not by accident, but by design: the nasty stuff is to be included in one big package and obscured, to be accepted "by the democracy" only because it's a part of the whole "and look, there's some pork there too." Otherwise the smaller deals, which would actually be in the clear interest of both sides would happen much more often.

They picked the name in the mid-1980s, around the same time as the GNU project was founded. Well, the GNU project came first - the GNU manifesto dates to 1985, whereas I believe the first release of gnuplot was 1986 - and the gnuplot authors were apparently aware of the GNU project at the time, but I don't know if they foresaw that GNU would be as successful as it has been. I think the gnuplot authors' naming choice is more defensible in its historical context than if someone made the same naming decision today; and, now they've been using their current name for around 30 years, they obviously don't want to change it.

Youtube does have automatic transcription for videos. It's not too hard to link this to a topic hierarchy (maybe they already do this). It seems like a hard problem at their scale, since unlike Spotify, the list of genres isn't knowable.

I've been building a search engine for lectures as a research project. For a small list of videos I find that browsing topic taxonomy is really nice compared to the recommenders that try to guess your intent.

https://www.findlectures.com

There are commercial systems for automatically tagging the text (e.g. Watson) which hierarchies which don't go into niche areas - e.g. the Watson taxonomy tagger does 1,000 tags.

For more niche topics, I've explored Watson's entity recognition system, e.g. to recognize the names of diseases. The advantage is it picks up terms it hasn't seen- The problem is you can only identify entities that someone has trained a system to recognize.

The UI challenges are interesting as well. If spotified identified 100 genres that interested me, they could pick any arbitrary subset of playlists and I'd be pretty happy. If I used youtube to get home repair videos, and then they showed me videos about repairing parts of my house that aren't broken, it'd get pretty irritating.

Considering the drawbacks of speed-reading (it's not just "reading, but faster") are really counter-productive in programming, I don't think actual speed-reading techniques are helpful when reading code.

I certainly do find myself "skimming" code in larger code bases but then I'm also not speed-reading but simply looking at the visual structure (which is where consistent formatting matters) and looking at words in fixed locations (e.g. names in function definitions).

When you actually have to read code (rather than just skim it by looking at structure and words in fixed locations) that usually means you need to focus and carefully follow each expression -- the bottleneck in this case is comprehension, not reading speed (unless you have to keep track of each character, such as when dealing with short and confusing variable names or intentionally obfuscated code).
Are you saying it's okay to do deals in secret because otherwise you would have to deal with a pesky democratic opposition?

I don't think this is intentional by Google, but think the problem comes down to the fact that they keep antagonizing the content creator community that they claim they want to help.

The YouTube Heroes program antagonized the content creator community by:

1. By trying to get free labor to clean up the comments system instead of doing it themselves.

2. Creating new concerns about who is going to watch the watchers.

3. Showing new management features for Heroes that content creators themselves have been asking for and still can't get.

This secret video edit is another slap in the face because:

1. It potentially undermines public responses they've already posted based on the original video and new people (and trolls) may call them out their complaints that no longer match up with what is said.

2. It shows yet another feature YouTube content creators have been asking for, but can't use themselves.

I don't think Google is intentionally trying to tick off their own community, but it is amazing how dense they are. And for content creators, this is just another instance of Google not listening to them.

I see what you're saying. I don't disagree that there have been actions taken by states under the guise of state's rights that could be considered horrible. However, the true concept of states rights is more than something randomly invented by southerners. This idea is based on the 10th Amendment of the Constitution.

What there are is closed-door trade negotiations, because it's impossible to get anything done if every time you open your mouth you have street protests from the industries you're considering removing protectionist measures from.

That's a common argument, but it doesn't really stand up. National legislatures manage to negotiate and pass laws just fine through open negotiations, even though many of them have hundreds of participants representing a range of political parties, as well as often having a local representation aspect. In many cases, there is some sort of multi-stage process, with a balance between completely open debate to establish principles and general approval on the one hand and smaller sessions with particularly interested representatives hammering out the fine details on the other, which seems to work reasonably well.

While we're addressing common fallacies about secret trade negotations, the idea put forward by others here that you can't tell what is really on the table unless everything is done in secret is also dubious, because it means trade negotiators can put things on the table that don't have the support of those they allegedly represent. Those people are then presented with a fait accompli where their only options are to accept in its entirety or strike the whole thing down, often after many years and a small fortune have been spent working on the deal. What benefit came from all those secret TTIP negotiations if ultimately it's clear that the EU members aren't going to accept such a one-sided deal or give up what the people considered unacceptable concessions anyway?

The idea that the secrecy prevents lobbyists representing special interest groups from influencing the deal is so implausible that I won't bother countering it, except to observe that these controversial international trade deals often seem to include wording that is remarkably similar to statements previously given by exactly the kind of lobbyists and SIGs we're talking about.

We're supposed to be talking about professional politicians and negotiators here, and we're supposed to be talking about making deals for the mutual benefit of both sides. If the professionals can't identify areas of common ground and work with a more transparent process for negotiation than doing the entire thing behind doors and then presenting a single final result with the people or their elected representatives having nothing but a power of veto, I contend that the deals being made probably aren't worth much anyway and certainly have no democratic mandate.

If both of those claims were the case (we really don't know that much about the meetings), the question of interpretation is still open, i.e. was this used to beat down the Army's resistance to surrender, since even more so than in 1938-9, the Red Army was going through them "like crap through a goose", to use the famous Patton quote.

Everything I've read indicates that it was the second bomb, which indeed happened on the same day as the declaration of war, that really got the attention of the rulers of Japan, and got them serious about surrendering.

TabSwitcher – Increase Your Productivity in Google Chrome
elihu, these are some good ideas here. I would love to see your "full wish list". Can you post it somewhere?

More improvements on the POSIX interface:

- Processes should be able to reserve some % of both CPU and I/O bandwidth. So you can have video players, games, etc. which remain perfectly smooth no matter what other processes are running at the same time.

- I would also like it if the kernel and its drivers would refuse to 1) write to the boot sector of any disk, and 2) reflash firmware on any device, even if requested by root, unless the computer is booted in a special "maintenance mode". That would eliminate persistent rootkits.
Why would you trust them ever?
