I don't think so. Anger is primordial trait of humanity. If it made you dumb we would not have evolved into the intelligent species we are today.

I think the author of the article is confusing anger with someone being mean. He mentions don't be angry with the guy on the other end. Why not say don't be mean to the guy on the other end but let him know that your not happy/angry/upset.
I'm not sure what "clunky UI" you need to interact with, you can play music without touching your phone. You literally just say "Hey Siri, play Two Weeks by FKA Twigs" and it will begin playing. It shows your request being transcribed when its made but that screen goes away on its own shortly after.

Most people's complaints about Siri as far as I can tell (via Twitter mostly, so it's a tech crowd) is that it's basically not Google Now. That is, Apple doesn't have a search engine so it can't answer general interest/trivia questions unless it's specifically related to a domain Apple has included (such as Wolfram Alpha or MLB for baseball).

Now many people think it should be able to do that, but that's certainly not what it was designed for. Siri is a "personal assistant" to help you do things on your device via voice. They've recently begun to expand these integrations by creating a Siri API which will probably expand to cover more domains over time.
Getting into programming helped me isolate my perfectionist tendencies. As long as I have something I can obsessively polish, I can relax in other areas of my life.
>> what could be more American than having a robot car chauffeur you to and from work while you work in your car?

Really? The American myth of self-reliance and independent determination doesn't mesh with being driven around by a robot. The person who buys an diesel f150 or a Shelby Mustang isn't the sort of person who likes being driven around by other people, let alone by a cellphone app. The American myth is the lone cowboy on the horse, not the rich man in the stage coach.

Cars are not rational decisions. If they were, we would all drive gray electric minivans. Cars are a means of expression. They are class identifiers. They are thrill machines. They are weapons. They are Freudian. I'll be convinced about autodrives in the US when I see ONE autodrive car take ONE spectator to a nascar event. It won't happen in my lifetime.

It seems more like UPS saying "hey, we'll ship whatever you want (within reason) but if you can fit it in one of our standard box sizes it'll get there faster and cheaper". What is the ulterior motive or side benefit Google gets from people adopting AMP? Honest question.
Whenever i see nano particles used to combat disease, I am always interested in the off target controls. Since they are using physical mechanism to disrupt membrane stability (in the case of bacteria), controlling targeting is very difficult and requires vastly different membrane properties on the surface of bacteria vs regular cells. Issues usually involve lodging of nano particles in the liver or kidneys/ lysis and cytotoxicity . Here they looked at haemolytic and necrotic activities in cells and assessed whether the mice survived- most are short term, and aggregation of nano particles is not uncommon to cause large obvious pathology, it just takes time.

I looked up the core molecule 'PAMAM' or Poly(amidoamine) and it seems to show relatively low cytoxicity, but recent studies seem to shed some more light:

'More recently, a series of studies by Mukherjee et al.[13][14][15] have shed some light on the mechanism of PAMAM cytotoxicity, providing evidence that the dendrimers break free of their encapsulating membrane (endosome) after being absorbed by the cell, causing harm to the cell's mitochondria and eventually leading to cell death. Further elucidation of the mechanism of PAMAM cytotoxicity would help resolve the dispute as to precisely how toxic the dendrimers are.'

I think displaying anger can be useful sometimes. Actually being angry isn't that useful as it usually means you've lost control of the situation.

Is there room to put up a camping tent?
Hmm, I'll try that. Edit. Ahh, Siri seems not to know how to play albums, only songs. It also mis-parsed an album name of a song I have hearted in Apple Music. The mis-parse was for a more obscure title, but the incorrect behavior for playing an album was for a more mainstream one.
Fair enough. Sharpen the contradictions!
VeraCrypt is currently maintained by Mounir Idrassi, which is like a real person with a name. VeraCrypt is also actively developed, the big issue solved in version 1.8 being to add support for UEFI GPT drives, which is actually a big deal.

TrueCrypt was developed by an anonymous developer that vanished, abandoning the project. Funny how trust works.

I would say almost all of Apple's acquisitions are acquihires and for intellectual property but I don't see how that has any relation to how long it takes to integrate the people/tech into existing products. My guess is as good as the quotes in the article.
Intent matters to... software? It's literally just a formula and someone plugs in numbers and gets a green screen or a red screen. The people doing financial aid probably aren't enabled to change the screen colors once a response comes back. Bureaucrats are bureaucrats -- you have to bypass them to get anything done.
Every podcast is someones podcast, that doesn't mean anything nor does it make podcasts in general or this podcast specifically unreliable.

Additionally this critique is laughable and if anything proves Gladwell's point. It's not about the food, it's about spending money on things that aren't relevant to education. Gladwell could have made the very same podcast and talked about expensive sports programs instead of food.

Maybe Bowdoin isn't wasting money on food and that was a bad example to make. They're still spending a lot of money and not on financial assistance. If they felt confident about what they're spending it on, they would have brought that up and mentioned that they're not spending as much on financial assistance but instead have some large education or research project going on but they're not doing that either. Bowdoin is wasting money and they clearly know it or they would have responded differently.
To back this up with an example, we (DuckDuckGo) tried to look for open source projects with 501(c)3 status or similar for donations, but many projects or organisations don't make it clear. The alternative was to look through online IRS records which not every donor will do.

Another problem was finding up-to-date info about whether funding is actually needed and what for. Donors usually want to donate to a project that is needy and in line with their values.

My advice for any OSS project looking for donations is:

* Have a dedicated easy-to-find donations page or donations.md file.

* Explain what you need funding for. Specific is better.

* Indicate how to donate and how to contact you for donation questions.

* Make your tax status clear, even if you're not a non-profit.

* To reduce bureaucracy, consider joining a non-profit umbrella organisation such as OSTIF ( https://ostif.org/ ) or Riseup Labs ( http://riseuplabs.org/ ).

* If you do get donations, report the effect of the funding either publicly or to the donor. This builds trust and increases the chance of repeat donations in future.

* Include non-financial donation ideas and link to your developer page or contributing.md file (or equivalent).

EDIT: The OpenBSD Foundation is a good example of easy-to-access information about donating, activities, and current and past fundraising campaigns: http://www.openbsdfoundation.org/

Instant articles is even worse, IMO. But Facebook is not pretending it's the next version of the Web. Google is, so they set up an expectation of Web like behaviors.
I agree - using grants and contracts as part of their total number is incredibly deceptive. Much of that has nothing to do with undergraduate students, and research grants have very, very little to do with the cost of tuition.
There's just too much hypocracy on both sides of the table.
My parents and collegiate experiences were much like the author's. I would call them asking for advice, only for them to ask about how I'm pursuing happiness. That openness and lack of using perfection as a goal allowed me to pursue first (pre-)medicine, then (pre-)graduate school (Biochemistry), and finally Computer Science throughout college. After four years, I found myself with two majors (Biochemistry and CS) and can only thank my parents for not pushing me in one direction, as I've never been happier as I am now developing software in the biotech space.
Interesting. As a user, I've learned to only click on AMP results. They load quickly and reliably (no blank white site) even on LTE, and they never have intrusive adds. If they added an option for "only show me AMP unless I click a button to ask for the other junk", I would opt in day 1.
That's not even a little bit what's happening
Phages are being researched. This literally comes up in every single HN thread on antibiotics, so once more, posting my "Why Phages Aren't the Answer" shortlist. Note that I love phage therapy - this is the problems as seen by someone who doesn't think it's a dead end:

Phage therapy is neat, it really is, but there are a couple major issues:

- There is no such thing as a "broad spectrum" phage. You can't do empirical treatment using phages, and there's not really "off the shelf" phage therapy - it tends to be a bespoke creation for a particular infection.

- There's some serious regulatory problems, similar to those experienced by fecal transplant treatments. We're not yet really equipped to think about handling evolving, custom microbes as a treatment. - Because of the first, it's going to require a considerable amount more lab capacity than most clinical settings currently have, and considerable delays until treatment.

- There's also some biosafety issues around phage prep, but those are easily solvable.

It's a great way to treat particularly resistant or hard to treat infections, but it's not a particularly great general solution. There's a reason it was abandoned in countries with easy access to antibiotics - they're just roundly superior in basically every respect.

In my experience, asian parents tend to vastly underestimate the importance of genetics that predetermine a child's strengths and dispositions. Kids that are born with some combination of great working memory, processing speed, and abstract reasoning ability will do fine at math and science with an order of magnitude less effort than others. For these kids, being pushed to perfection in school can be beneficial. For others, the expectation that they need to do as well as the other kid on the SATs or in engineering or medicine or whatever often leads to the problems the author describes (suicidal ideation, depression, etc...). Sure, everyone should be encouraged to try their best but there needs to be more focus on cultivating everyone's unique strengths. Often times the people getting perfect SAT scores aren't studying any more than others (in my experience, less), yet asian parents will tend to believe that their kid's imperfect score is due merely to a lack of effort.

Of the console based rouguelikes my personal favorite is probably cataclysm DDA. It is a survival zombie apocalypse game. One of the most common features of the world is small to medium towns that have a handful of building types consistently available, various wrecked cars all over the place and a wide variety of building layouts, building types, street layouts, loot on bodies and distrobution/strength of zombies. Not to mention all of the other special places it has. That being said I am obviously bias as I was a contributor to the game.

It seems like the emergent story in dwarf fortress continually draws people in (you might find this a stretch, but I'd argue that the game was explicitly made to procedurally generate a story).

It sounds like Ultima Ratio Regum is aiming to have deep procedural content.
I think it's mainly that there are other, more obvious problems to tackle before getting to STV etc. One thing at a time and all that.

Even those things are immensely complicated politically, because they would upset the existing balance between the parties, and in the current climate of extreme partisanship, whichever party is affected is going to pretty much automatically be against it. For example, if we switch from electoral college to national popular vote, it's pretty much guaranteed to give all future presidential elections to the Democrats, at least until GOP has a massive reform. Obviously, they're going to be against it. Similar issues arise with gerrymandering, and even such normally non-controversial issues as making voting easier (increasing registration periods and making the process easier, increasing advanced voting period, mail-in voting etc).

So I wouldn't expect any progress on that front until the present deadlock is broken. On the other hand, whatever new party will arise on the right from the ashes of GOP (or existing third party take over the spot), is likely to be in the minority for a while - and hopefully, that would motivate them to make electoral reform for a more proportional representation a prominent part of their platform. On the other hand, Democrats are likely to get more complacent and corrupt from a long uninterrupted stretch in power, and a few particularly nasty public scandals could be used to prime the voters for an upset election. So we'll get there; it'll just take time.

AMP is a terrible format and makes 0 progress for the open web.

HTML is already fast, it's all the extra resources added that makes pages slow. For publishers, the reason sites are slow is a combination of ad revenue pressure, poor tech skills, lack of time and focus on other priorities like producing content in a saturated market. This is changing slowly so that UX is more important but creating an entirely new proprietary system that only takes time away from the main site (and just affects mobile) is not the right answer.

More interestingly, the #1 most used adserver on the planet is Google's own DoubleClick - which means they could singlehandedly make all sites (desktop + mobile) faster by implementing better tech in their own stack.

The article talks about venting anger at people who had nothing to do with the reason for your anger. In my experience, how you treat people influences how they treat you. And it's hard to treat people right when you're angry over unrelated things.

Certainly, there are times when anger is justified and appropriate, but it is helpful to properly control it and not to aim it at people who are innocent bystanders.

"The distribution part of software can be rather trivial for niche markets where there aren't any big vendors around - with GPL I'd have to assume that I can only sell once and then the customer will just redistribute it - whether free or not - to whoever wants it, at the very least within his/her organisation."

Many enterprises won't buy something at all unless there's a price attached presented by a company they think will be around a while and help them with any customization. This market is less likely to trust a competitor to Windows Server or Exchange if it's being offered for $50. ;) Plus you can point out it's better to buy the real thing supported by developers that invented it instead of cheap knockoffs. Call them cheap knockoffs.

So, there's some risk but it can be done. Best model is having some proprietary addons, though.

"I think it would actually encourage to have a nice long thought about what dependencies you want to introduce. "

I thought about this as I wrote it. The reason I didn't add it is because you'd have two, competing solutions: FOSS community that mixed and merged no matter the size; shared source community where things cost more as complexity went up. I figured the latter would be largely boycotted if former was available. The former has so far been fine for vast majority of freeloaders. I doubt that would change. The latter could become a niche market with low complexity a differentiator, though.

"Yes, to me also this seems to be the best way forward with commercialising OSS without going the service route."

It's what I'm going to do. If money rolls in enough, I'll also submit select improvements and/or donations back to the source projects. Just on principle.
