Disclaimer I don't know anything about manufacturing, but let me pose a challenge to your assertion that manufacturing has nothing to learn from the software industry.

Elon Musk seems to have taken many ideas from the software industry to manufacturing at Tesla and SpaceX. My understanding is that manufacturing uses more of what we software developers would call a waterfall method of development. Long upfront phase with research and detailed specifications before manufacture. Elon Musk seems to have favored a more software like approach of rapid iterations and feedback. E.g. trying out more risky things, see it break and go back to the drawing board. They also seems to have borrowed the idea of platforms from the software business. Where you gradually refine an established system. E.g. I read that in comparison to other auto manufacturers they create detailed specs for all their parts and fan out the production to all sorts of contractors. These guys might not get used in the next round, in the next model. So you can't e.g. gradually refine and upgrade the software systems of the car in the same manner in traditional manufacturing. Mind you I am not doing a great job of explaining these details, if you don't know what I am talking about, better to read up other accounts of the differences between Tesla and other auto manufacturers as well as SpaceX and other rocket makers.

To be fair this isn't the same as discussed in this article which is more about what happens at the part level. What Tesla and SpaceX has changed is what happens at the over organizational level. Doing more manufacturing in house and relying on off the shelf parts rather than getting them made according to some spec. E.g. SpaceX uses seatbelts manufactured for race car drivers as their astronaut seatbelts rather than using magnitudes more expensive and custom made astronaut seatbelts.
Hi, I am the author of this site.

The project started out as a test to see if the web platform is powerful enough to do complex interfaces like this. The entire site is built from the ground up using (almost) no pre-existing libraries or frameworks, trying to use platform native techniques as much as possible.

In the end I plan to document exactly what features were difficult (or impossible) to implement, so we can get an idea of where the web platform stands compared to custom rendering engines in terms of capabilities. So far I must say I am surprised how close I can get to the real thing, showing how powerful the modern web platform really is.

Disclaimer: This is a research project, so compatibility is nonexistent on the priority list. I use whatever features are available in the specs, even though most browsers do not implement them yet. At this time the latest version of Chrome gives the best rendering results, and there are no guarantees other browsers will work.

I know C but no Assembler, so this looks like a good way to get more familiar with what's going on under the hood. It would be really neat if you could click on each instruction/register to get a short summary, though.

"the Federal Reserve and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation will prohibit it from establishing new international units or acquiring a subsidiary that is not a bank."

Yeah, that'll show those Wells Fargo bankers. They could cause the loss of billions of dollars and millions of people's livelihoods, but gosh darn, they can't establish new international units or acquire subsidiaries in some cases.

I consider that commensurate punishment, and on par with people selling a few hundreds dollars in drugs going to jail for decades.
Most people don't need to run VMs probably. Of the people that do most probably run GNU/linux which is usally fairly lightweight. So the only memory heavy app is their web browser.
I suspect the people arguing for this want to push their brand of ethics and ideology. But you're right, there isn't a single set of ethics.
I don't really know how to respond because I found the answers you wanted by looking briefly in the docs.

> But, for example, the documentation for GOPATH makes no suggestion it is even possible [1]

Well to be fair you were looking for information about compiler flags in the documentation for the envvars; which perhaps wasn't the best systematic approach to research your problem? But hopefully you now have the information you need? Or at least better idea of how to find the answers you seek?

>The team want one true way of building a go pkg.

This is very true. However as long as your code follows the same standards it doesn't really matter how you chose to organise your source files as it should still compile on other people's systems using `go build` in the idiomatic way. And for what it's worth, a lot of people don't follow the directory hierarchy in the strictest way and/or use `go build/install`; choosing instead to use their preferred vendoring system. So I doubt many people would have a problem if you wanted to do your own thing just so long as the code is still compatible with Go's standard build tools should you release your projects to the world.

> "Also, in my experience, when I refused to pay eBay for some charges I disagreed with, they simply sent the debt to a collections agency."

Well, eBay does this because they know that legally they don't have a leg to stand on in some cases, so they resource to harass their client into complying and give them money they are not legally entitled to.
Haha thanks for pointing out that typo!
Any time your voting system for the general public involves "fiddle with this computer/software", you've lost. The public in general can't handle security methods, and many folks just shut their brains down when it comes to computers. Similarly, if you can't explain the method in terms they can understand, then their trust in the system will simply not be there.

People lose wads of cash that are valuable to them; they're going to care even less about their electronic verification file.
Hickey doesn't get OO? You obviously aren't familiar with is work as he makes it clear that he worked professionally with OO in Java and C++ on large projects for more than 10 years before working on Clojure.
Great idea! That worked quite well, thanks.
There's been maintenance commits regularly (2 days ago, 20 days ago, etc) and the project itself is stable. So while there's been no new features added, I don't see why that would be necessary if it works well as is.
That worked well, thanks!
I avoid any library that is too magical. If a project asks you to just run this magical tool that will organize your source tree just so, and then it asks you to put your source code for each thing in a certain place, and don't worry about anything, it'll just work (cough cough RoR cough cough), then I'm not interested. Because sooner or later, it won't just work. And then I'll have to figure out what went wrong, which you won't have told us how to do.
They seem to favour unit tests over integration tests, which is achieved by abstracting the layout logic away from Activities and into view models that can be unit tested with no fuss.

Behind the specific problem of eBay prioritizing buyers over sellers, there's a more general problem of how marketplaces can determine who's right in a dispute. Other commenters have suggested taking a video while packing up the item and unpacking the return. However, that could be vulnerable to fraud as well; how can you prove that the package you film yourself opening is the package the other party actually sent?

Perhaps UPS/Fedex could act as a verification service. For a small fee, the UPS store employees could photograph the contents of the package before it gets mailed, check if the electronics turn on, write down the serial numbers, etc. and send a report to eBay.
Huh? Isn't that statement trying to defuse the political polarization?

How to monetise peoples feeding habits data with consent
I am working with a company that is developing a app that will allow you to check if you can eat food due to various allergies and intolerance's.

They are planning to build a community that is willing to share its food requirement data in return for having food better designed to serve their needs.

They are pondering on how best to monetise that data, auction, straight sale, give it a way....

> Clojure itself is dynamically typed, which means it ignores a large chunk of research itself.

It does not. PL research is about how to construct type systems if you choose to construct them. There's plenty of research in untyped languages, too (for a recent, pretty exciting example, see Dedalus, which is the language semantics at the core of Eve).
It seems that Yahoo has a problem with moribund accounts- many people had a Yahoo ID 10-20 years ago, and then abandoned it.

If these accounts are not deleted (and there are a bunch of organisational reasons not to), then the MD5 hash has to be kept around somewhere, until the user re-enters a password and a better hash is generated.

They still made the null mistake. Their experience clearly wasn't enough.
Saying that these two people are facing the same or even similar options is disingenuous to say the least.

I didn't see anybody say that, so I'm not sure what your point is.

At the end of the day, sometimes doing "the right thing" has horrific consequences. Some people can and will accept that, some can't or won't. But the choice is always available.

Consider that the Founding Fathers of the US had "Give me Liberty or Give me Death" as a rallying cry, not "Give me Liberty, or erm, well no more than minor inconvenience". Sometimes you have to be willing to accept death, imprisonment, etc. for a cause you believe in. Look at Edward Snowden, who did what he though to be "the right thing" even though he knew the most likely consequence involved death, imprisonment or torture (or some combination of all of the above).

Assuming a web page, does the page reload in less than 1 second?

On a full sized keyboard, the normal rate is 3.3 key presses per second. On a mobile device, I'm sure an 8 character password will take far more than 1 second.

For brute force attack defense, rate limiting a single account globally to 1/sec, i.e. independent of source IP address, should be sufficient and prevent parallel attacks by bots, but this still makes DOS attacks on a particular account easy, but not the entire system except traditional overload.

Many API systems work this way and it's proven effective.
I think we need to find ways to hurt big companies in the pocket book who do this. Stage (IT) employee walkouts, boycot the products they sell, etc.

Isn't the idea that all mutation must either be local or transactional rather revolutionary? In a sense, Erlang is like that, too, but Clojure took the idea much further. It is pretty clear that that's Clojure's the main idea.
Yes but that is more for standard idle time expiration.. The problem being addressed above is for actively invalidating an existing JWT for a user once they already have it (and before the default/original expiry is met).
By "based on" I meant the character set, not the actual glyph designs, I absolutely agree the MSX characters don't look much like the PC ones.

...but the character sets match surprisingly well; outside the basic ASCII range they have mostly the same accented and Greek characters in the same places, many of the same glyphs for control codes, and some of the symbols right at the end. The box-drawing characters are very different, and the MSX has more accented characters in total, but nothing that would raise eyebrows in a European MS-DOS code-page.

You might be right but evidence seems to suggest you are wrong thus far. The German manufacturing model seems to beat the American one and it puts the guild mentality in the center of things.

Also 5 years to be a machinist, I don't think that is true anywhere. I don't know the German system in detail, but I live in Norway which has a similar system. You take 2 years of high school to prepare for say a machinist and then 2 years as an apprentice. That seems totally reasonable to me. That means vocational training is only 1 year longer than somebody taking 3-year high school to prepare for university study.

In Norway we have seen what has happened with the professions not being as regulated, like construction work. We have vocational training for this field but the applications to this study has fallen through the floor. Years of influx of polish construction workers have pushed the wages, benefits and status down. Initially the polish immigration was god send because we had serious shortage of construction workers. However now it turns out this was almost like peeing in your pants to keep warm. Should polish workers not stay, we are screwed. We are losing our native competency in this area and we have a lost a whole generation of native Norwegians.

More regulated professions like plumbers still see strong recruitment. They got higher wages and status. That means schools retain teachers, equipment etc. Getting rid of the guild mentality might make sense in a pure economic sense. But only in the short term IMHO. In the long run you shoot yourself in the foot, because you reduce the attractiveness of the profession. Remember the main problem in the west today isn't that people aren't able to train for these professions or that the barriers are too high. The problem is that too many chose to not get vocational training because it doesn't have high enough status. People want to be college educated.

If you kill the guild like approach, you also kill the status. If anybody can do it, without any papers, then the profession commands no respect.

One of the key reasons Germans kick the shit out of the UK in manufacturing is that being a craftsmen is highly respected in Germany, while it is not in the UK. Perhaps not an accident that this is because the medieval guild system lasted much longer in Germany than in Britain.
Admittedly I skimmed through it with a preconceived notion, but the research seems to by convenience target endurance runners, but I don't see where it has to be specifically running, or endurance. Why not interval runners, bikers, swimmers, rowers, Tabata interval trainers, any aerobic training?

Specifically since research I've read suggests that VO2 improvments is more efficient with interval training than with endurance training [*].

Interesting read, but I can't imagine how anyone could convince Google and Facebook to change their business models at this stage unless the market truly revolted and started moving away from their products due to privacy issues. I think change is much more likely to happen through disruption (which perhaps is the other side of his ideas, coming up with business models that are more privacy-friendly).

I think security and privacy are a lot more important to people than Facebook and Google's market share are thought to indicate. In 2017 they will be real selling points for a product if it can match the UX and features of the incumbents. That is the hard part -- particularly given that good UX for secure products has a long way to go. I don't believe it's impossible, but it requires a mindset shift in the industry. "Give an extra key to your friend/family member in case you lock yourself out" is an idea that's been with us a lot longer than "contact customer support." It just isn't how the tech industry has ever worked.
Like the back problems sometimes associated with rowing, a lot of knee issues from running are due mainly to bad form.

If you over-stride, particularly down-hill (and going "too fast" down hill instead of managing your pace/stride is a recipe for over-striding) the knees will be too straight during impact and so experience excessive impact force (and therefor potential damage) that would otherwise be absorbed by muscles/tendons/elsewhere.
They did mention that.

So far the surveillance and related laws suck, but to some extent they're controlled and somewhat public. Even before the Snowden revelations, some monitoring was expected, and some was talked about. Of course the scale and depth were a new revelation (tapping private links, etc.), but it existed in some kind of framework that was supposed to be controlled. (Regardless of how well that worked)

Since the new potential president is a lot less organised and generally random in his actions, the old framework will be harder to rely on. Who gets the access now? Who's tracked? Who's trusted if he doesn't believe the current agencies? That's still unknown and we may get more secret deals now without clearly defined rules (even if they're not public)

Basically we got a chaotic neutral/evil leader now. Anything can happen and I don't expect he'll care about the subtle effects of new decisions.
I'm in a right to work state, so they'll just find something else to fire me for.
