>Not necessarily as organic agriculture also uses pesticides (naturally occuring ones)

Actually, a better characterization could be "medieval ones". For instance, copper sulfate (CuSO4) is not exactly a "naturally occurring" substance, it's an industrial chemical but allowed in organic agriculture because it is a "traditional" pesticide (even though it is more toxic than, say, glyphosate, by a factor of 10).

Other than that, you make the points I would have made.
That would be jumping to a conclusion I didn't state. I think I already address this comment above, I don't think what they did was wrong, and I don't care if people were offended.

But, since you brought it up - old papers are already dead, they cannot be fixed. They can only be referenced as prior work, or retracted in extreme cases. We're not talking about extreme cases here.

Statcheck can only help new papers, it cannot help old papers. Running it on old papers was done as a publicity stunt for statcheck, and nothing more. The authors said so.

With GHz level processors getting so cheap and developer time being so expensive, I wonder if that will always be the case. I've recently moved from using microcontrollers and C to using raspberry pi and beaglebone with python and it's made my hobby projects more pleasant. I'm curious about whether I'm going to run into issues later, though.
They've improved user security, but the amount of garbage to sift through is terrible.

From my POV, it's like complaining that the seat belt left a bruise after an automotive collision; IOW, missing the bigger picture. I can sort my own garbage, thanks (and that's not to say that you're not right about the quality in app stores). It's easy, and if I screw it up then I've just got a garbage binary taking up space that is otherwise harmless.

But what I grow increasingly tired of is wondering if bad actors have found new ways to make my life difficult before I install that random app. Download from an app store, the app might be garbage, but at least I can be confident that it won't trash my machine. Servers, my dev machine? Sure, I'm willing to put up with a little more rigamorole for more control, etc. But my phone? I don't want to put up with that crap, vetting everything binary that goes on the box. I just want to tap and download, and if the quality of the app sucks, then fixing that is a long-press away.

Yup. There are powerful social forces which act to dissuade psychologists from publishing research which opposes to feelings of their peer group. One can't speak an inconvenient truth.

I'm pretty sure it's literally impossible to silence the alarm from the built-in Clock app on iOS. Third party apps are subject to the usual notification settings, though.
Despite this happening over and over again, I can never understand the attitude underlying statements like the one this article is making.

"A computer will never be small enough to fit in a house"
"Man will never reach the moon"
"The atomic bomb will never work"
"The telephone will never catch on"
"Heavier than air flight is impossible"
"Everything that can be invented has been invented"

The list of things declared impossible is as long as it is laughable. I hope I'm around long enough to see this article added to the list.
Competition Does Not Matter
It's not just a matter of personal preference. It's well known that mass surveillance is a powerful tool of oppression.

Oppression is not a theoretical idea and not only an historical problem: Government mass-murder in the Philippines, the oppression of Muslims in Europe, of a large religious group in Turkey, of Tartars by Russia (in Ukraine's Crimean province), of so many people in Syria, of populations in all the oppressive countries in the world. The U.S. election could result in oppression of Muslims, Latinos, blacks and others; some U.S. cities already use 'predictive policing' to identify and harass private citizens - what will happen if Muslims becomes an open target? And don't forget anyone who has any interaction with Muslims. Such things have been going on since the dawn of humanity and unfortunately will continue.

The idea that Google and other commercial mass surveillance will not be used for these purposes is a dangerous, irresponsible fantasy; it's lazy, head-in-the-sand thinking, akin to climate change denial: We haven't died yet is the only argument. These systems are not and will not be kept out of government hands: Government already has broad access, as is well known (National Security Letters, NSA spying, Yahoo's recent revelation, etc.). Laws can be made at any time giving government more access, and they will in climate of oppression. Many obtain illicit access, as we know, from the NSA to foreign criminals to antagonistic nation-states. And it assumes that the companies want to deny access; inevitably, some CEO of AllYourDataCorp will support government surveillance and be prejudiced against Muslims or immigrants or blacks. Likely, at least one already is doing it.

IMHO, while it disrupts our plans for IT and wealth, it's absurd to think otherwise.
There is nothing that says a farmer can't use sustainable crop rotation practices with fertilizer and pesticide use. In fact, that is what farmers do regularly ... in many places. They aren't idiots that just pump fertilizer and pesticide in their fields to destroy them. If you actually spend some time on a regular commercial farm, you'll find that is the case in this day and age ... even in the US.

Organic food theory is bunk. The double blind taste tests prove, scientifically that your better taste theory is wrong. You know you can grow heirloom varieties and perishable varieties with pesticide and fertilizer too right? Just because people grow perishable and heirloom varieties with organic methods, because rich people like organic, and rich people pay for these lower yielding varieties also, doesn't make these factors inherently confounded. You can separate them if consumer tastes at the top of the market change.

My family grows very delicious fruit and vegetable by using a judicious amount of pesticide and fertilizer, in a sustainable way, in central california. We practice crop rotation in our vegetable gardens (but our primary crop is walnuts which does not allow for crop rotation ... but we are exploring mixed use ... but harvesting constraints and other issues dominate the calculation on whether crop mixing is feasible there).

I am a programmer in San Francisco, and my father would probably have been one in 1970 if such a career was available to him then. He is a really smart guy. You think he is an idiot who doesn't examine all the issues when choosing to use pesticide and fertilizer? Our land has been in our family for almost a century. It is still yielding well. We know very well how to farm sustainably.

Edit: as for subsidies, we don't want them. But we live in a market where prices are determined by them. Subsidies are bad. But, we cannot remove subsidies as individuals. And I disagree that low prices are a result of subsidies in the aggregate. They are certainly for specific crops ... and certainly for meat. But unless you consider water use a subsidy, I don't think food would get 50% more expensive without subsidies. Total US Ag subsidies is around $20 Billion while the size of the Ag sector is like $900Billion. 20 Billion removal will not effect an almost 1 Trillion dollar market in such a drastic way. Specific crops will be more expensive, but on the whole, agriculture will migrate to better, unconventional crops. We will actually meet market demand BETTER once subsidies don't distort our crop choices.

I'd say 1) is completely tractable, politically or not. If you're careful, "everything has a size." Only use an opaque pointer if there's... metadata that forces correct usage.

But this is up to you to enforce.

2) & 3) are pretty much covered in undergrad CS programs. If it hurts, you're doing it wrong - you don't have to dip that deeply in to OO to find excellent patterns for solving it, of you even need to go that far.

On certain platforms like the Win32 API, 2) &3) are hopeless by, it seems, design. Just do your best then :)
These regulations have done a lot of good, but there's sometimes the way in which they seem to devolve into checklists (not to stigmatize checklists, which are valuable tools!), often without corresponding understanding and capability.

I've seen that particularly in the way that PCI rules led people to get certificates and turn on HTTPS, without knowing what a certificate, private key, public key, TLS, or HTTPS were or what they were for. While I prefer that to the alternative of no HTTPS at all -- which is probably what we would have seen without the rules! -- it's still a bit disappointing and concerning that for so many organizations it only got to the "have to satisfy PCI rules by doing this weird arbitrary thing" stage.
Summary:

The parents arranged a bank account for their child to play with.

He went on to create an AdWord account and spent $120000 in ads. The payments were blocked.

The article lacks details in the end: It seems that the bank called the parents, google blocked the account and already refunded the money.
I don't think you quoted the wages correctly? The Wikipedia OECD stats are in PPP, not gross.

Also, while you sort of mention it, I think using averages when the distribution is clearly skewed is a really bad practice. It doesn't help us develop intuition on how things are for most people.
(This applies for software startups— not sure what it's like for other industries)

It doesn't necessarily have to be competitive for software companies. Even though some do compete for the same customers, even many similar tools and software products have difference audiences. Software, for the most part, is differentiated enough that it's not quite like some CPGs where brand is the biggest factor in purchase decisions—even very similar products have slightly different feature sets and different interfaces.

If the content has slightly different audiences, the main problem then, isn't volume of content—it's the need for better distribution and targeting, which has been solved somewhat on the advertising side. Brands buy hundreds of billions worth of advertising, but it's mostly well-targeted, whereas by comparison, we just get blasted with content marketing without a ton of targeting.
Is the complexity of "invent[ing] its own logic to keep up to date with changing pod configurations" really that substantial?

Each Service maps to an Endpoints set, which is a list of pod IP:port tuples. Seems straightforward to watch Services, and update your mesh targets when something changes.

Obviously not trivial, but not a huge API surface. And the k8s API is architected to make such reimplementation as easy as possible, by composing the kube-proxy from publicly available cluster APIs.

Seems like quite a thin layer of new glue to connect two moderately-well-proven components together.

You can't write systems programs in Pascal without escape-to-assembly. My first big 'C' project was a significant quality improvement over the Pascal it replaced, partly because of this.
The cost of translating is a mouse click [after a software pro writes the code behind the control].

Modern, computerized charts don't need to lie flat or use only one projection visualization. Furthermore, you can add up-to-date ocean current, jet stream, wind, wave, and weather information to a computerized chart, along with a vehicle performance model, and automatically optimize a route for fastest travel time or lowest fuel consumption.

Nowadays, the unit of distance on the printouts and reports is only needed for human readability and loss-of-power emergencies. Once you have planned out your route, you can scale your backup hard copy with whatever unit your navigator feels most comfortable with, but inside the computer, the software most definitely has a "native" measurement unit, and those are usually in the base SI unit. All other units are converted from that native representation as necessary.

You can navigate your vessel in any coordinate system you like, as long as the conversion functions are coded correctly. And once they are, all charts are translated into all coordinate systems. If you like constant-bearing lines on Mercator projections, just print it out that way. If you like following currents and great circles, just make sure your navigation computer has a backup generator.

The fudging you mention is 99.9% handled just by using the WGS84 ellipsoid. If you're doing any fancy rocket science, you also need a somewhat detailed gravitational model mapped on top of it. Those sorts of calculations are most easily done in an ECR cartesian coordinate system, which easily translates to ECEF cartesian, which somewhat less easily translates to geodetic coordinates--it is actually easier to translate that in the other direction. Unfortunately for that math, no one knows where their house is on the Earth in XYZ coordinates. The amount of error creeping into your double-precision floats is almost insignificant at the scale you need with one or two extra conversions.

The math only needs one arbitrarily chosen unit. I have never seen nautical miles chosen as the unit for length.

> the importance of rule of law is how powerful people equally get prosecuted and sentenced and cases are not determined by who can pay a bigger bribe to the judge

But the law is not equally applied in the US, though it's more often here a case of being powerful than being rich. See how General Petraeus was treated (for retaining eight notebooks full of "highly sensitive information" and giving them to his biographer/paramour) compared to Stephen Kim (who discussed one classified report about North Korea with a reporter): the former was fined, the latter was jailed.[0]

Now, Kim has since been released due to the outcry over the disparity of the sentences, so in this case the subversion of the rule of law coupled with public pressure ended up working out. But that is not an inspiring system. It did little for instance to help Jeffrey Sterling[1] (charged with espionage, in part for doing something that sounds a lot like what Hillary Clinton did with her emails).

This is to say nothing of things that have gone the other way, such as a complete lack of prosecution for those behind the 2008 financial crisis, retroactive telecom immunity, etc. The message that this sends is, "The rule of law applies to you unless you are close enough or important enough to whoever is in power." Which is not really the rule of law at all.

Pretty much the case for older versions of IE. It became the dominant browser even when it was not installed by default.

A compiler is, at a high level, just a function. And most architectural breakdowns of compilers turn them into sequences of functions, like:

link(codegen(analyze(typecheck(parse(lex(source))))))

And compilers are one of the easiest kinds of programs to write naturally in a functional language.
"Organic" food is not about avoiding pesticide residue; it is about using pesticides approved by certifying parties and paying for this certification.

- WYSIWYG for complex/annoying markdown (try adding a column to a 20 row table in markdown unassisted)

- Nice unobtrusive typing experience

- Easy toggle switch to raw markdown (Ctrl + /)

- Syntax highlighting for code blocks

- Familiar hotkeys for formatting (Ctrl + B for bold, Ctrl + 1 for H1, Ctrl + 2 for H2 etc...)

What I don't understand with computer chips, is how really relevant the FLOPS unit is, because in most situations, what limits computation speed is always the memory speed, not the FLOPS.

So for example a big L2 or L3 cache will make a CPU faster, but I don't know if a parallel task is always faster on a massively parallel architecture, and if so, how can I understand why it is the case? It seems to me that massively parallel architectures are just distributing the memory throughput in a more intelligent way.

> Markdown is pretty simple and easy to read in plaintext

That is actually the main reason for markdown's existence [1], so I have the same issue with these editors. I don't understand attempts to hide the formatting.

"The overriding design goal for Markdown’s formatting syntax is to make it as readable as possible. The idea is that a Markdown-formatted document should be publishable as-is, as plain text, without looking like it’s been marked up with tags or formatting instructions."
