I just wanted to throw a bit of an extension so this, and keep in mind this is completely of my opinion/observation.

A big drive to what I think is fueling the anti-intellectual movement is a misunderstanding of the scientific research and purpose. Many of the "anti-intellectual" types I've interacted with often cite the same rational for their opinions and it usually falls into a few broad categories:

1) The Egg is Healthy Debate - "First they're healthy, then they're not, then they're healthy again! How can we trust them with this if we can't trust them with eggs!" - It shows lack of understanding that we can change opinion based on new information. Often they want to believe there's this black & white distinction to every issue and can't see the nuances of why something can be both good and bad for you but in different ways.

Somewhat of an additional point to this is people are taking it to mean scientists are often wrong, so maybe they're wrong this time too.

2) Bought & Paid Research - Sugar is the most recent one where lots of people are believing the war on fats was a driven narrative by interested groups. Maybe the food pyramid is a good example; something that was taught extensively but was heavily influenced by Agricultural groups. As an extension to this lots of people think they can ignore science at their leisure because they think everything is a bias from some group sponsoring the research that benefits them.
Yes, but I was addressing the issue of writing JavaScript, not using its ecosystem. And the lack of a high quality standard library is elegantly solved in ClojureScript by using the Google Closure library.
The 5% of SpaceX was what they're willing to put into the project, but that only covers a few million of the tens of billions this project needs.

I wouldn't look to the Public sector for funding this. Governments have grown increasingly hostile to long term projects. Just ask NASA how much fun it is to have senators constantly threaten to cut your funding and the need to build things in an incredibly inefficient (expensive) way just to keep Congress happy. Plus you get all sorts of curveballs as administrations come and go and want to juggle the priorities. As a government project this would just be an endless money pit and if it ever got off of the ground it would be decades late and severely cut back in scope.
This is why they have huge outflows as on the graphic on the link. Yet they can't really make the world pay for it without it being self inflicting in one way.
You can take fiber pills or powder and mix it with water. The carbs in the fiber do not contribute to blood sugar at least not very much.
As the spouse of a marketer, I think this is great advice! I only have three things to add:

> 11) When you interview give a 10min exercise before to discuss and cover up real-time actual skills. E.g. show them some relevant to role campaign materials (e.g. landing pages/EDM's) and ask them how they would improve.

Be very careful to keep an open mind when judging this one! If you are a non-marketer trying to hire a Director of Marketing, you are not going to be able to answer this question better than a qualified candidate. If their answer seems wrong to you, be sure to dig into their reasoning, past experiences, etc. to see why they answered the way they did.

If they omitted something that you thought was important, it's probably worth saying, "What about that big, ugly, magenta call-to-action button? Shouldn't it be green and fit with the rest of the design, perhaps?" You might be wrong! At least give them a chance to say, "I noticed that (how could I not?), but I've been surprised in several A/B campaigns to find that call-to-action buttons that stand out trump aesthetics in terms of conversion rates. If the design team wants to change it, I would certainly work with them to come up with a solution that looks good and converts. Otherwise, I have much more certainty that initiatives X, Y, and Z will have a real, measurable impact on discoverability and conversion."

=====

Secondly:

> 5) Avoid anyone that shows narcissistic tendency or is generally 'me' focused.

I totally agree here (but I'm biased because my spouse is not at all a narcissist). Be sure that your hiring process doesn't select against these people! If you're hiring for qualities like (over-)confidence, where you favor candidates who seem certain of themselves, you're doing it wrong.

In general, before writing off a candidate, try to dig into what you perceive to be their weaknesses. They may be stronger than you think in those areas. Again, if you think they're wrong about something, investigate that, too, as you may be the one who is wrong.

=====

Thirdly and finally, do NOT make the mistake of selecting for familiarity with your market. This is akin to hiring a senior developer based on what technologies they know. It is the job of a marketer to dive into a market with little-to-no prior knowledge and understand it quickly. A good marketer will join all the relevant forums, follow influencers on social media, etc. and understand your market better than you do within a few weeks.

If you see a marketing candidate with experience in several sectors, none of which include your own, that's an excellent sign, not a negative one.

Good luck!

I would like to believe most people would want the best for the kids

I'll believe it started out that way, but now I think people have a narrative to support, the well-being of their kids be damned. Not that the anti-vaccination folk would say so in so many words, but after the guy behind the original study admitted it was faked, how else to explain it? Jenny McCarthy isn't going to back away from the only shred of relevance she has left. And those Mommies and Daddies who have been so shrill all this time? Many reasonable people change their minds every day on topics as they digest new information, but I argue that the people that look to Playboy models for their medical advice aren't reasonable people. So you're probably not going to get a lot of "mea culpa"s out of them.
How experts use app demographics to uncover mobile app opportunities
Why would insurance cost more than it does today? Presumably new safety systems will trigger discounts to the degree that they cut the number of dollars that insurance companies need to pay out on their policies. But I see no reason that a profitable policy today wouldn't be profitable in the future just because other cars have more advanced safety systems.
Reality check: Security (especially IT security) takes a back seat in 90% of businesses. The only exceptions are corps who gain significant power over govs and users by being secure (I think Google and Facebook here), and when regulations require a corp to do some kind of security fundamentals then these are applied as necessary to avoid fines.

>If you are correctly following an Agile process such as Scrum, the productivity of each team member can indeed be quantified.

No, no, no, a thousand times no. Tracking story points by developer is the diametric opposite of "correctly following an Agile process". It gives team members, individually and collectively, an incentive to game the system, thereby corrupting your metrics and estimates. You are literally begging your team members to lie to you.

Any competent lead should be able to identify who is more and less productive without using what is essentially micromanagement by story point. Story points should only ever be tracked by team for overall velocity measurements.
This isn't bad enough, not yet, for some kind of protocol that allows source quench / notify a remote ISP of a suspected infected host and suppress traffic from said host.

It would need to be out of band, and I suggest it use OpenPGP for signatures (chain of trust from IP allocating bodies), actually it would also need to query a database of allocated IP ranges.
You're talking about Squads basically. Bring different people in the same group. And yeah, QA is very similar to Security in some points, but if you think straight QA should include security. Weird to say that a software has quality without security included, but the truth is that security is specific that the regular QA usually can't handle.

As others have pointed out, the question isn't "health of my child with or without vaccines", it's "health of all children with or without vaccines". If your child doesn't get vaccinated, that puts other children at risk.

Further, you're implicitly relying on other children to be vaccinated to protect your child from debilitating diseases; were their parents to reach the same conclusion as you, your community would likely suffer a measles outbreak (as some such communities already have).

To choose not to vaccinate your child but to rely on the protection of others – while simultaneously putting others at greater risk – is a quite privileged and selfish decision.
I came from the same camp, but what's great is you don't have to be in CS to have a great tech career these days. I was in Computer Engineering, then a more applied Engineering major and finally switched to Sales my last year and that combination was perfect for me.
Not to mention the voice cast is mostly male, made even more lopsided by the fact that the female voice actresses mostly do only one voice, whereas the male voice actors do TONS.

Which is just how it goes. It's unfortunate but you can't strike a 50/50 balance. Even for side-characters written as female in the script, they're going to become male during production because you don't have female voice actresses who can make a "different" voice; it would just sound like Lisa or Marge. Really only Bart's voice actress can do it (she does Nelson, too, who sounds very different).

In Germany it has been recommended for half a decade and the majority of kids get vaccinated. There are similar anti-vaxxing groups though, not out of fear of autism but rather prefering "natural" infections to build resistance in kids instead of "big pharma" vaccinations. There were some worrying but minor outbreaks last year if I remember correctly.

The digestibility of the carbs in sweet potatoes is highly dependent on the way they're cooked. Boiling them leads to a fairly low glycemic index and glycemic load, whereas baking them essentially turns them into candy: http://www.livestrong.com/article/295025-the-glycemic-index-...
It's also that the US doesn't play games with it's currency, there was alot learned from the 1850s experiments with 'free banking'. Since the collapse of Bretton Woods they've let the USD freely float without intervening or controlling it in any way. There's hardly much in the club as such: the GBP, JPY, CHF (broke all trust early last year, simply because they didn't do it on a weekend), USD, EUR and CAD. Fun fact with CHF, they've had 2.2% inflation on average since 1880, unrivalled, it's crazy they threw that stability away.

It's not as simple as just being in existence. There's alot of 'trust' to it too, Countries could easily diversify against the USD on their reserve baskets. The CNY isn't a significant proportion of any basket because of the lack of trust & free liquidity with it.

"You might feel uncomfortable moving away from your vim window into the meeting room, but that's where the greater rewards are"

Greater financial rewards, maybe. But not necessarily greater intellectual or emotional rewards. Not everyone's cut out for or enjoys management or running a business.

There are people who just love getting their hands dirty in tech and hate meetings, power point presentations, kissing up to and hobnobbing with upper management, making up budgets and writing reports, herding cats, giving pep talks, dealing with HR issues, and the rest of the things that managers often have to do to be "successful".

I'm happiest when I can just go nose down working on interesting technical problems, when I'm collaborating with other engineers on the same, or mentoring junior engineers, with all the corporate BS taken care of by my manager.

That's more or less what I'm thinking. It depends on what works best for me, and for me keto diets are a little too high-maintenance for my liking, even though they're technically simple. I still naturally tend towards a high-protein diet, so that won't change - ketosis is just gonna have to take a backseat to that.

Maybe I'll take on a macro setup that's closer to keto, but I'm not going to move too far out of my comfort zone.

Why? Wouldn't it mean the hackers are unable to decrypt the data of users who had a strong password? If the server has the ability to decrypt user data, is that really 'end-to-end encryption'?
It eventually became a point where the iPhone was a better consumer and professional device. The Blackberry simply wasn't a real smartphone with a real OS.
Obviously listen to your dr over me, but it's a common 'mistake' with keto to not up your fat enough. More fatty meat might actually work out better for you than turkey. Take a look at The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living for more info on the importance of keeping your fat to protein ratio high.
I used the Keto Fuel soylent for all my food for about four months on keto. It's much more delicious than Soylent (chocolate, cinnamon, vanilla). You add MCT oil and heavy whipping cream to it for the fats needed. Strongly recommended and you can even do local pickup in SF.
>It's not a black and white issue; there's a plethora of cases of children having bad reactions to vaccines.

You don't understand how medicine works then. ALL medical interventions have the potential for adverse outcomes. That doesn't mean all medical interventions are to be avoided though or are bad. We do a cost–benefit analysis. That is we weigh the potential benefits of each intervention against the potential risks for each individual patient.

This topic has been studied extensively. The numbers have been run and rerun. The facts are for most patients the benefits to both the individual and public health VASTLY outweigh the risks of the recommended routine vaccinations.

As far as medical interventions go it's as black and white as it gets.
There's nothing wrong with an argument from authority - the problem with such an argument is when the expert is being cited from outside their sphere of expertise, for example. In this case the experts in the field are in agreement with a very strong scientific consensus based on a very solid body of data.

If you've built an organization on numbers based decision making, you can no longer consider anything priceless, because an infinity (especially if there are two competing infinities) will cripple your ability to decide.

Companies run on strictly utilitarian ethics, which is why so many ethical complaints are invisible to them. For example: (Customer) ad tracking is bad for me! (Company) But tally the value of our services, we're clearly in the black!
The value of a currency eventually leads back to the government that issued it.

When I spend a Dollar, the business that gets it puts it in a bank account. That Dollar can (theoretically) be taken to the issuing bank, in this case the Fed, by the business' bank, in order to get something of value.

To enforce the trading of Yuan, the Chinese we do not value Yuan held by in foreign accounts (or in the case of the "international" Yuan, it's value is restricted). So now those pieces of paper you have with Chinese lettering (or that account valued in Yuan) has nobody that gives it value... it's worthless.

You can make your schema very light and accepting almost like NoSQL which is how you get into the situation you described; the solution is to use stricter schema. That and it helps to hire a full time data engineer/administrator.

Such a doctor needs to have his medical license taken away. Also by refusing vaccination you are putting your child and others in harm's way which to my mind is almost criminal.

I agree with the "self-promoter" characterization (and support the other reply that most CEOs of such companies are so). However, the $7m figure for the holiday party is incorrect. I was at Yahoo then, and we were shown some numbers about the true cost. I was still angry that they spent even a cent on a party in December, then laid off a lot of people in February, cut people working on open source projects, and weren't funding any conference trips even at that point. All of those are more important to me than parties, but the Y! holiday party was well loved by many people there.

I would extend this, and say that all terms are overloaded - so before taking issue with a definition it's always worth considering whether you're arguing that one definition is Wrong and the other is Right (which is reductionist and silly), or arguing that one definition is more useful for the context under discussion (which is often useful).
It's not limited to the US - I know anti-vaxxers here in Germany, and it really doesn't help that most scientific studies are in English and hard to understand for non-nerds. Conspiracy theories are much easier to digest.

I think the people I know have simply seen the establishment fuck them over so many times (think [1], [2], TTIP, NSA, whatever) that they automatically believe the opposite of what "science" & the government want them to. Especially because "science" can be transparent bullshit too - the non-esoteric doctor we have on the countryside treats absolutely everything with a cocktail of antibiotics that never help. Why trust him to vaccinate anyone's children?
