I agree with Dr. Srivastava that psychology is not only a science but the hardest science:

https://hardsci.wordpress.com/2009/03/14/making-progress-in-...

> What are the “hard” — as in difficult — problems in science? Hard problems in science are those that are embedded in complex systems; they are hard because to study something well you often need to isolate it from outside influences. Hard problems are those that vary by local conditions — science seeks to identify general laws, and when something is locally dependent, you need to sniff out the complex interactions that make it so. And hard problems are those that are difficult to quantify — science rests upon formalization and quantification, and you need to get traction at that initial step of quantification (i.e., measurement) before you can test theories. So… by these measures, if we are going to differentiate areas of science, the continuum of scientific problems should go from “hard” to “easy,” and psychology is clearly a science that deals with hard problems. Perhaps the hardest.

Reminds me of the counterintuitive about the two hard problems in computer science. Naming things, and deciding when data is obsolete, are easy mechanically. But because they have neither a deterministic nor correct solution, they end up being the hard problems you face as you build bigger projects. Or, to emphasize a line from Dr. Srivastava above:

> And hard problems are those that are difficult to quantify — science rests upon formalization and quantification, and you need to get traction at that initial step of quantification (i.e., measurement) before you can test theories.

It's possible for a science to be "hard" while having a lot of mediocre practitioners.
When I went to buy a Samsung Galaxy S4, the shop gave me a Galaxy Note 3 at the price of the S4. Interestingly enough, they did scan the Note 3 box in their register. I noticed the outside saying 'Note 3', but assumed it was some kind of advertising. I only checked the front of the phone in the box.

I called ahead to have them reserve the S4, they actually double checked the price, scanned it, etc. As I was wondering whether to buy a Note 3 or an S4 I concluded shop/fate decided for me with a nice discount ;)

I came from a much smaller phone so size wise I didn't notice. Only when unboxing and seeing the stylus.
This reminds me of easymotion.
> Fox has set up numerous shows for failure, including Arrested Development, which was aired against Monday Night Football and wasn't aired during sweeps week. How does a show succeed, no matter how good, when it's never given a chance to develop an audience?

This is revisionist history. Fox pushed AD hard during season 1 and discovered that it was the ultimate cult show, with a small but devoted audience and no reach chance to expand it's base. Fox pushed it into the dead zones of the schedule because they knew the audience would follow it anywhere. Internally, AD had huge champions which is why it got far more episodes than it would have rationally deserved if you just looked at ratings.

There's no real way Fox could have turned it into a viable hit if only it had treated it better. Like later critically adored darlings like Community of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, there was a natural ceiling to its viewership that was never going to fit into the business model of an early 21st century network channel.
public market demands growth, and people don't invest in stagnation
Hi Dhruv,
for those who live outside the US and would love to have an opportunity to work in this field is there any way to achieve this after taking the nanodegree? I live in the UK at the moment so what are the chances of getting a job as a Self Driving Car Engineer in the Bay Area? Zero or something better?
They always seem to be hiring people for sales and advertising. I've known some people go to them, and from what they've said their ads team is huge.

Gifs of my game got posted on 9GAG and OP said that he made it.What should I do?
Recently, I've noticed that someone posted a gif of my game called Re:creation, which I've been making for the last three years. [1]
He then proceeded to act like a jerk [2] and said that he'll open an e-mail account for people who want to test the game [3] (possible scam/phishing?).

The post has got lots of attention and it's most likely the first time most people have heard about it. The reaction has been mostly very positive (which is great!), but as I'm not very famous myself, people may start associating the way OP of the post acts with my game, which is bad (especially if he continues to do it).
Another bad thing is that OP said that the game will be free and I have no plans to release it for free, which may also lead to negative reaction because of unmet expectations.

I can't contact him or the mods of 9GAG because there's no such option. I've reported the post, but there was absolutely no reaction. I've also made some comments on original thread as well as made my thread there, but they didn't get much attention. I know that 9GAG is famous for reposting lots of stuff, but that's just a new level of reposting, I think.

Have any other devs experienced something like this? If you did, what did you do about it?

>On my devices it sure as heck is about my individual interests.

And you're always free to individually buy something else.

>I hate that a generation is being raised without the freedom to tinker, to own their hardware and to own their data.

You mean the same generation that has all kinds of compilers and developers tools for free (unlike back in the 80s and 90s), can reach the whole globe with a simple $5/month server app, and has hardware platforms like Arduino and Pi for less than $100 backs?

I lived in the 80s. We didn't tinker on our smartphones because we didn't have any. Now we have something like 10,000 PDP-11s on our pockets, and an environment so accessible that there are 1,500,000 apps for it. And if we don't like forking $100 to the gatekeeper to get to publish apps for it, there are also web-apps, and Android, where we can just publish anything.
Life is not just about making money. And even making money becomes easier if you have done something cool and recognizable in the past. At the very least you can use it on your resume, or when coordinating the team at your start-up, or as a foundation to start a conference career.
Any chance that/another issue would cover s/mime?

There are ways to condemn someone without casting aspersions on an entire gender. The WSJ was able to basically single-handedly dismantle her hype and company without even any kind of insult.

Cue the protest of "political correctness", as if not explicitly deriding her gender would put us at risk of whitewashing her crimes. I've liked using the b-word too. I stopped after working construction in a rural town, where perfectly decent fellows would use the n-word in the same context as the b-word, e.g. That's -work, or: I got shotgun, you're sitting .

I found it hard to believe that I could use the b-word and not have it be a subconscious comment on what I thought of women. Holmes is an asshole, no thought of gender needed.
"Private" in the meaning of running your own host, or "private" as in "people I don't trust can't access it"? The latter would be quite interesting to me. How to achieve that with gnu social platforms?
i've often wondered if they deprioritised the mobile web frontend in order to get people to install their app (especially since they turned hostile towards third party apps). personally, it just took twitter from something i used to check frequently to something i check once or twice a day when i'm in front of a computer.
Not really. That is what open standards are for. If you make sure your tool communicates and stores data in open formats you are not locked in, since any other tool that can read these standards can work with your data as well, import it, represent it in its own flair etc.
Google closed it down. Like it also did with Google Reader and eventually XMPP federation for Google Talk (now Hangouts). Google developed a lot of cool tech for federation and the open web (some of the protocols my project and GNU social use, for example) and then had a change of heart sometime around the birth of G+. I'm not sure this says more about federated projects than Google itself?
Why is this a meme? Is there any evidence that this is true?

I remember seeing DeLaval say that the back scratcher is their most popular product --- among both humans and cows!

Their corporate website looks a bit threadbare (last update 2015), but their Youtube channel has recent videos; I hope they're doing all right, but their products look amazingly cool.
Isn't that on Spotify and Google to implement?
Why do you drop other names? Diaspora is a tool, not a standard. If they are still developing that then they may actually implement to read and share data in the standard as well.
That looks interesting -- especially the path generator, as most CAM software are non-free and all clunky..

It can be highly perverse. I took over a project that had used the open source CMS Composite C1 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_C1).

As far as I can tell the codebase is designed to be as opaque and complex as possible. Any normal organisation will pony up the fees (between $1000 and $5000 per annum - https://cms.orckestra.com/Products/Plans) rather than try to really get their head around it.
> This could be the end of Samsung.

This really could not. Samsung is a gigantic conglomerate. They make everything from power plants to super tankers and weapon systems. They could lose their phone business entirely and still be huge.
>An iPhone-owner's phone is not Apple's platform: it's its owner's platform. It is not Apple's property once money has been exchanged for the phone

The phone, the physical device, is yours. You can put it in the oven if you like, or crash it with a steamroller.

The platform remains Apple's.

In the same way that when you buy a subscription from Netflix you don't suddenly own their network and dictate terms.
What does that question even mean?

Do I value a service higher because it's decentralized? (yes, see how much value git, blogs and email have) Do I understand the technical difference? (yes) Do I treat both the same despite understanding that there is a technical difference? (no)

*edit: The question probably should be "Do I value control over my data?" and the answer is that the more capable a person is in the technical sphere the more he values it. Most people aren't and don't want to be capable, so they don't value it at all. That question is the most reasonable interpretation but it doesn't need a poll. You can pretty much ask how much technical skills people have here.

I am banned from being an Amazon marketplace seller. I have no idea why. They say there is no way to learn more, and it's for life. I've never even sold anything there.

My wife was banned a bit before more. She sold one textbook and fulfilled the transaction perfectly. She found out she was banned when they said they were keeping her money for 45 days, and they would be kind enough to release it to her if the buyer confirmed receipt of the book (they did, and she did get her money eventually).

Based on the mail that was arriving, we _think_ that someone who lived at our apartment before us was doing something shady. Amazon doesn't care though.

This kind of thing is why it's incredibly frustrating that people blithely let a few companies control most commerce.

As a general problem, when you want to give your vendor the boot, you go to their competitors and say you want a system that does all the things the old system does plus these additional requirements that the old vendor couldn't give you. Since you probably paid for additional features year over year for the system you do have, the price tag to replace it all at once is rather steep and the timelines will be incredibly long.

As such, the project will have a rather long list of problems. The functional specification of the system to be built will have a large number of gaps because the people writing the functional specification aren't the people using all of the parts of the system (no one person will be using all the functionalities). There will be a number of unforeseen problems causing delays, if the vendor does not have proper risk management in place the delays will compound and the entire project will become delayed. Due to frustrations, the customer will relax the priority of some of the nice-to-haves from the functional specifications and focus on the critical requirements.

Even if the new feature makes it into the end product, since it wasn't a key requirement of the system in the first place (otherwise the first vendor would have provided it from the beginning) it will most likely not be used often and may not even be piloted. Future upgrades to the system will degrade the functionality in unpredictable ways and no one will notice. When someone does notice, it is easier to revert to the old manual way of solving the problem than getting the functionality fixed or learning how to use it.

This is why some people are scared of replacing multi-million dollar software. That is why banks still have a lot of systems written in COBOL, risk averse people aren't willing to hope that everything might go right.

I suggest you hire a hacker, i saw his info ( Hackservices41 @gmail .com ) on a friend's post here on quora and i contacted him ,he does series of hacking job from password recovery, credit score upgrade and clean up,he also helps catch cheating spouse,and help get unrestricted and unnoticeable access to your partner/spouse, GPS tracking,, Facebook account,Email,Whatsapp,Text messages,Emails, phone calls, helped me out with a job and am sure he can help you out aswell. he his truly a genius at what he does.

You can reach himvia his Mail: HACKSERVICES41@GMAIL.COM ( promised to make this recommendation). wish you all the best
That's eDRAM though, and it's really on-module rather than on-chip. It's a separate die on the same module as the main SoC.
If you have a moderality complex UI, by making it responsive you are going to ruin it. That's why most serious websites with complex UIs don't bother with responsiveness and have two different interfaces.
Love the concept! But, with things like Spotify/App Music/Sound Cloud and many more streaming services, I think a very small population of users actually use radio.

>Why Are Politicians So Obsessed with Manufacturing?

Because when the shit comes to shove and the global economy takes a nosedive or your previous friendly third world manufactures give you the finger, having a "service industry" is worth nothing, but being able to produce the actual shit your businesses design and sell/export, matters.

Of course for the US this might be less so, because they can always force, by diplomacy or might, those developing world manufacturers to comply.

Another question would be why are people like the author of the article not particularly hot for manufacturing?

Because they are upper middle class pundits, have worked all their lives in the culture/media/academic etc industries, and could not care less for lost manufacturing jobs and other such stuff.

That's how we get books about the world being flat, industry doesn't matter, it's all "information" and "creativity" now, from people that could not suffer a day without electricity (and the hard work that goes into producing it), or without their car, etc.
The problem with CSS, as far as I'm concerned, is not that it cannot solve the task, but that it isn't intuitive and that you need to be aware of lots of 'tricks'/workarounds to get fairly simple concepts to work.
I've been using this software quite extensively to design a small 25m2 house I'm building earlier this year. It can be a bit rough around the edges, but it's already quite usable and powerful!

IMO the main issue is that the constraint solver recomputes everything whenever you add/move something, even though past additions are already properly constrained. As a result, the software gets less and less responsive as your design gets more complicated. I don't know if the devs adressed that issue (it's a tough one), but I know it was already on the radar a few months ago.
That's just not how polite human interaction works. If you become aware that someone has made a mistake you inform them privately to give them an opportunity to rectify that mistake. In the case of a scientific journal entry you might instead publish a response article. You don't put everyone on blast and practically blackmail them into purchasing your for-profit service. It was never about the science at all, it was about the profits for this product/service.
>Politicians are amateurs.

That's what's great about them, because they are there to represent us, and we're all, in most fields other than ours, amateurs.

And also because most experts on economy and industry have private interests to take care off and force upon the rest.

(Well, those private interests also buy politicians, yes, but they always start by buying or directly employing experts).
I feel very sorry you have been put in this situation. I think you took the right steps to report the post, hopefully the mods take it seriously. I am no expert in this field but I think it maybe worth trying to find out how did the poster got his hands on gifs.
