And yet, would the feminist science claim that intersubjectivity is the correct view to take? Can it? Or must it be that intersubjectivity is only the view of certain feminists and itself depends on the observer -- to some observer, independent observable facts exists, and to some others, they do not as they are intersubjective?

I think your position is interesting if odd and completely alienated from the way science is done or thought about in all of human history. I think the downvotes are coming from referring to standard "incorrect" science in your view (as it does not embrace intersubjectivity) as "masculine" and the "correct" view as "feminine" -- to put gender labels on abstract philosophical positions seems contrived and silly to some (me, at least). What does masculinity have to do with belief in objective facts? Why do only women understand that facts depend on the observer? Is it just because the person who introduced reference frames and general relativity to modern science, Albert Einstein, was female? What does adding these incendiary labels to the positions you outline and contrast add to the discussion, other than encouraging your mostly male and mostly skeptical-of-gender-politics audience to not listen?

No they aren't.

Because you're putting the cart before the horse. Science is building a picture of """objective reality""" from human subjectivity. Data points aren't reality, they have to be interpreted. No matter how you try to do it, at some point you have to accept that a human being is doing science and the way science is done is fundamentally an intersubjective phenomenon. Science isn't reality. Scientific knowledge isn't reality. Science is a human activity and scientific knowledge is a relationship between humans and reality. I'm not redefining what a fact is, I'm unpacking the definition of a scientific fact and scrutinizing its dynamics.

Why is this useful? Because if you don't look at science from this point of view, you can't understand or even recognize good or bad science. The scientific method can only fail in its execution. Its execution is fundamentally an intersubjective phenomenon.

There is a deeper philosophical advantage to this point of view: This is the correct formulation of science if you want to do science about science. That is, if you want to study scientifically the method by which discoveries are made, become verified, and evolve into commonly held "objective facts", you have to formulate science in this way. If you want to study scientifically how people become scientists, you have to formulate science this way. If you want to study why scientific illiteracy is still a major sociological problem, you have to formulate science this way. Et cetera.

In light of all this, I have to ask: What is the utility of the idea of objective facts, objective reality, a science that is not intersubjective, one that is merely acquired and applied in the masculine mode? My answer to that question is engineering: Engineering is not interested in doing science, but applying it. In which case, objective reality is merely a shortcut to using scientific knowledge. I think that's an admissible use, but it is inadequate for science itself and understanding the relationship between science and society.

P.S. When I say masculine and feminine, I certainly do not mean qualities intrinsic to men or women. I am referring to archetypal abstract masculinity and femininity which are themselves diffuse aspects of human intersubjectivity the study of which reveals long-scale correlations in human politics and social structure.
Part of the challenge is that the word blockchain is misused. Here's a quote from the first page:

“…the term ‘blockchain’ has been so misappropriated that no one knows what it means anymore.”
– Elaine Ou, Bloomberg

People are using blockchain to describe Bitcoin, private ledgers, the public Ethereum network, private Ethereum forks, and other tech that shares design characteristics with Bitcoin.

I think that both decentralized and federated carry some baggage that make them not equal. But really they kind of are the same.

For me federated just puts some ownership outside of the central system, but that is because of my experience with federated identity and auth systems. It's super gross so when I hear federated I cringe.

Decentralized sounds better to me, but I also think of it more as distributed, but that is me reading into it more than I should. Decentralized is more about reducing points of failure that can bring down the whole. Which is cool, but still if I wanted to silence part of the network I could do that. Distributed on the other hand implies replication and sharing. With that model I can take down parts of the network and nothing is lost.

So I think that decentralized and federated are similar, but not the same really. I don't think that either are ideal. I don't really understand the goals of projects like these so I can't say if either path right right.

Good point - yes, we have M0-3 class target platforms on our roadmap. IoT Gateway devices was where the need was most pressing for our customers and we just went there first.

Now, we will likely end up doing a whole lot less functionality on an M0 profile, compared to a typical Flogo flow app on an IoT gateway, but the idea is to offload the right level & kind of edge compute onto lower power nodes.

One point worth mentioning is that pretty much any framework can run on a Pi, but running dozens of these Edge apps - "12-factor" style[1], that is where Flogo's advantage shines through.

At [a certain auto website I used to work at] the bot traffic was a significant amount of the requests... Because of the nature of referal traffic we were required to let the bot traffic stand...

This was mitigated by implementing a few layers of a decent caching strategy, as well as some db improvements, and moving search queries to a separate database server (mongodb, then elasticsearch) altogether.

In the end, there are lot of things you can do to help mitigate these things... It really just depends on what you are trying to accomplish with a given site.
Forcing you to adopt horrible customer experiences to get around a 30% tax is pretty nasty.

This. Hitting that wall when you're hacking on a file and discover after the fact that your fancy keybind remap isn't on this machine and now it's doing something weird...

Customizations are baggage. I try to minimize them as much as I can, even if it means being a little less efficient on my home system. A side effect is that if a program doesn't have sane defaults I'm not likely to use it, even if it can be made to work better with some tweaking.

I don't go much beyond :syntax on and :set si with Vim.

>> The EU thinks that they can post-facto change the law to effect Irish companies. This is illegal and immoral.

You are severely misinformed.

Ireland broke rules it agreed to under treaty in order to join the single market that have been enforced for decades, often regarding EU based companies. State aid is defined as giving advantages to one company but not others, thereby distorting competitive markets. Ireland is required to apply the same tax rules to all companies and not deal under the table to certain favourites. If they want to distort their markets in this way fine, they can, they just need to leave the EU first.

http://ec.europa.eu/competition/state_aid/overview/index_en....

The US would be wise to adopt similar rules because its one of the sources of political corruption whereby companies buy tax deals from politicians.

Doesn't that rely on, often incorrect, assumptions of underlying hardware? Doesn't this change based on the environment that the system is going to be put in? There are things people are saying are "guaranteed" about formal systems that just aren't true.

To have a formal system actually be "correct" it needs to have never touched "incorrect" software or hardware. This contains, but is not limited to, a "correct" compiler and hardware implementation.

This is, I'd say, often not the case.

I am, of course, not saying that Twitter is the only kind of public debate, or that public debate did not exist before Twitter.

I am saying that for millions of people Twitter is a unique way to join public debate. Personally, I have interacted with several public individuals who I couldn't conceive of contacting any other way. This is an example of two politics professors taking the time to explain something apparently well known in their circle to me:

https://twitter.com/Jimmytidey/status/757494127537905664

Where else would that happen?

If it does not suit you, fair enough. I find newspapers disinteresting, but I would prefer to live in a society that has them to one that does not. I would also prefer, as with Twitter, that their ownership structure was a little different (I'm in the UK).

I agree that Twitter has design flaws as a medium for public discussion, and I also believe that some of them could be alleviated if Twitter was run was by people with different incentives.

I myself am very happy with the character count, the truth is that the limiting factor is not how long a message you are permitted to write, but how long a message others will be inclined to read. I suspect Twitter is just being honest with us in this regard.

Certainly it is not the place to articulate a nuanced view. It is a place where you can find a unique audience.
I don't think it's that nuts, it was probably based on observation.

There is some evidence that in some relatively primitive cultures that it wasn't completely unheard of to live to very old ages. If you won the genetic, cultural, and geographic lottery and lived somewhere there wasn't a lot of disease-carrying vermin (fleas, mosquitoes, etc), ate a relatively good diet, lived in a time of relative peace, and stayed reasonably active, you probably had a decent shot of living a good, long life.

What really drags ancient mortality down is astronomical infant mortality, dying in childbirth, infanticide, and war. In more advanced civilizations, with lots of contact with other peoples, dense cities, sanitation issues, and so on, you then start worrying about plagues.

So I think ancient peoples could have reasonably come to the conclusion that about 120 was the maximum age and attributed it to God.

Even in recent centuries there have probably been a very few people living to 110-120, the trouble was it was incredibly difficult for us to verify in the absence of solid, verifiable record-keeping.
Information fiduciaries: on trusting Google and Facebook
Yeah; I worded that poorly. I should have said:

If they want me back as a customer, they need to add a "turn off all telemetry" button (just like Microsoft needs one), and they'd need to double the support lifetime or half the price of this phone to be inline with Apple.

I've noticed Apple tended to command a ~2x price premium on Android, even when their phones had shorter support periods. I personally am willing to pay that premium for privacy/security, but not the camera or apps / os features, which are largely comparable between the two platforms.
I spent several weeks in Lagos at the beginning of this year for my work at stellar.org; I was struck by how excited all of the developers were to talk with someone who works in silicon valley. I'm a nobody, but the guys at iDEA Hub, CC Hub, and Andela rolled out the red carpet for me and it seemed like they hung on my every word with regards to tech.

I met many smart, driven entrepreneurs while there, but as a new friend said while I was there: "It's tough to be Nigerian on the internet". The number of obstacles that a Nigerian web developer has to fight through even for something so trivial to us like getting a webhosting account, is shameful.

Additionaly, it's tough for the Nigerian developer community to get taken seriously by the outside world... I had several stories related to me about tech companies promising then balking at trips into Nigeria, in one specific instance for totally bullshit reasons. Google apparently does a great job with the developer relations in Lagos, but it seemed like that was about it.

I hope that in the future we get to really see what the Nigerian entrepreneurial community can really do; If they can chip away at their road blocks I think someone from there will eventually build something really special for all of us.

I also hope I get to go back and work with their community some more.

> Data points aren't reality, they have to be interpreted

Data points perhaps need to be interpreted for utility, but they represent facts (but those are facts of sense experience, which is ultimately subjective, though often expressed in terms of a fairly restrained conclusion of that subjective experience.)

Which is not to say I disagree with your broader point.
Real-world multiple vehicle pickup and delivery problem is much more complicated than traveler salesman problem.

I think you're confusing the autonomy of firms with the profit motive of firms. In order to really compare different styles of economy, you can't just axiomatically assume one is better, nor "work your way back" to axioms which prove analytically your favored approach is better. You need to define a basically empirical performance metric, and show how well different systems optimize that metric, including allowing for measurement uncertainty and computational difficulties.
