> My current job contributes positively to society, but I would love to have a job like this.

Seconded. You [the OP] don't give numbers in your post, but I would jump at a job like this. Having lived in London for several years, whatever wage you're offering would have to be at least liveable, but I (personally) would happily accept significantly less than a big tech company knowing that the work was important and impactful in a very real sense, and suspect many other people would also. Honestly, if I were still in London, I would love to apply for this: "complex visual tools for analysis" sounds just like my sort of thing.

To make this advice more actionable: perhaps you're best looking for academics/PhDs with programming experience, since they tend to be both more idealistic and accustomed to lower pay (this is a little cynical but sadly true, having come from this background myself). There is huge variability in programming ability amongst PhDs however (again, speaking from first-hand experience), but on the plus side many will have the other skills you need (knowing how to effectively distill and visualise complex information is often at the very heart of a good science PhD).
> it's really great that we have finally arrived to the point of getting common protocol

This. Common protocols is what has helped us independently, incrementally and exponentially make the internet more useful.

If we can (finally?) get this lesson learned down to the application level, computing may finally start advancing conceptually once again.

Right now we've been in a rinse/repeat standstill iteration for god knows how many years.

But I guess everyone is too busy trying to get rich building the next big closed service to consider fundamental issues like that...
(funcall #'+ ...) does not do a symbol lookup and does not need to retrieve the function from a symbol in Common Lisp. (funcall '+ ...) would retrieve the function from the symbol.

Treeshakers are generally used for application delivery in Lisp. When you do that, then one usually limits the amount of use of runtime dynamics. Typically you can tell the treeshaker what to remove or what to keep: the compiler, the symbol table, debugging info, etc etc.

Allegro CL and LispWorks have extensive facilities for this.

> making the browser "end-user-hackable" through extensions was an untenable situation

This is in response to a blog post where extension support is being added. And those extensions exist in great numbers. Targeting the most popular browser in the world. And there's no sign that they are being deprecated. So how untenable are extensions? Is Chrome untenable?

I'm very glad, then, that I didn't say that.

I'm flummoxed at this comment. There's no way this is an instance of that, nor would it even be possible for it to be, because it's not even my use case. I think I made that clear enough in my original comment.

Yes, like her supervisor being absolutely willing to go along with faking information against innocent Iraqis that got them jailed and killed.

Ummm, her commanders refused to listen to pure whistleblowing. Didn't you read about the case?

As someone required to report a crime, you aren't required to put in a show of effort and declare it done, you're required to do your best to stop it.

> Manning left the ethical decisions to that third party.

No, Manning made the ethical decision knowing what Wikileaks promised - to get the information seen. And she made the right one.
>> The difference is that Manning released it to Assange and
>> Snowden released it to more responsible journalists.

As we all know by now, it's illegal to read the leaks unless they're on CNN. "Responsible" journalists from CNN told us as much.

Why “C” Is the Default Drive of Your Computer Instead of a or B?
At the moment I am trying to help a workmate hang in there and get life back on track after a period of intense depression. I am not going to advise her to take LSD or to meditate, even if 'hipster' style with this 'mindful' nonsense.

Normal people who have happy, functional lives do not meditate or take micro doses of LSD.

With all drugs the underlying condition is important, with hallucinogenic substances that usually means the base mood - happy or sad - gets amplified. That means the risk of a bad trip. My workmate has tried coping with 'party drugs' but the comedown is horrible - more depression.

I am doing well with my workmate, we do things like eating, walking, cycling and talking, i.e. doing stuff. For a laugh though I might tell her she needs LSD and minfulness bullshit.
I applaud the effort, but what's the model for making money? Are you just self funding this?

there's also the truism that if your model predicts a 25% chance for something, then 25% of the time the thing should happen.

Even if the model said 95% for Clinton, there's still a small possibility for Trump to win. It's hard to accept because 95% is really high! But hey, people win the lottery, right?

Doctors are human too. Medical error is pretty common. It's not just doctors, either; every healthcare professional is affected.

Recognizing this fact led to studies in patient safety.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK2673/

It's a really interesting read, especially the chapter "Basic Concepts in Patient Safety".

I find it notable that greater safety is achieved by avoiding reliance on memory. The amount of memorization in medicine is astounding. When I tell my friends there's no shame in looking something up, they look at me like I'm some kind of madman. "What will the patient think? If you can just look something up, why have doctors at all?" Yet this article clearly advocates the use of checklists to make sure nothing is forgotten.
My guess: one's mother / uncle / neighbour who wants Windows 10 on his/her laptop, but heard about it spying on you and does not want that.

I know that the usual rule of thumb is that "normals don't understand or care about complicated technical issues" such as privacy. But Windows 10 telemetry was so widely discussed in media, that I noticed even the non-tech people around me were refusing to upgrade from Win8 to Win10 on the basis of "I heard it spies on you".
That's why I built Magnetissimo: https://github.com/sergiotapia/magnetissimo

It's easy to build a crawler, the hard part is spending time on bullshit like DMCA takedowns and such. Even if you say: "I just crawl, I don't provide download links, I don't even know what is indexed", you have to deal with legal issues.

So, host your own locally or for your community. No big deal.

Even Google has to deal with DMCA!
So how untenable are extensions?

An extension API that has a well-delineated API border and limits the internal surface that is exposed is obviously tenable.

A full "end-user-hackable" browser where add-ons can access all browser internals is not.

There's no way this is an instance of that, nor would it even be possible for it to be, because it's not even my use case. I think I made that clear enough in my original comment.

Your use case was to try to limit the breakage caused by changing the exposed internals. You explicitly said so. This use case entirely hinges on maintaining a fundamentally broken design.

Firefox's XUL add-on system is a perfect example of sunk cost fallacy.

Great entertainment for anyone with basic knowledge of statistics: read medical papers. Lots of laughs to be had. Most experiments are bogus. Most conclusions are drawn with little in the way of supporting evidence, often without controlling for obvious confounding factors. Correlation is implied to mean causation. Extrapolations abound, both for concentrations (i.e. if I give this mouse a megadose of X it'll die, hence X is harmful) and between species (mice grow tumors if I give them a ton of X, so humans will too if they consume a tiny fraction of the amount per unit of body weight). Most of it is basically bro science, except expressed in much longer words.

And, just a hypothetical follow up question: how would it work out if the site was not even DMCA compliant?

Thanks , for such search engine,that really includes no javascript and no cookies in any form.

Secondly Its amazingly fast, I believe its more than just C language. I tried different combinations of searches on your search engine to check whether results are being served from cache or so. And it looks all searches(don't know your cache/uncache db design) are several times faster comparable to many. + +1 for speed. Also i feel i found a minor bug.

You can pull SATA cables 1m, and PSU cables much longer. Upgrade to SAS, and you can do 8m cable runs.

> hospitals, both fixed and mobile, ambulances, hospital ships, medical aircraft, and medical personnel are not to be fired upon

This van didn't have any markings to indicate that it was a dedicated medical unit. What about enemy combatants that are performing medical tasks at the moment? As far as I understand, they're fair game.

> (You'll also note the trigger-happy attitude of the gunner. He kept begging for permission to engage, and at one point got pretty frustrated that he was having to wait. Like the OP said: chilling.)

He was looking at people, that (in his view, conceived by a completely honest mistake) were there to kill his comrades in arms. His attitude, being eager to kill them, is completely reasonable — war is a constant kill or be killed situation, and allowing your enemy to evacuate the wounded combatants mean that they will later come back and kill you or your comrades in arms.

Once again, your reaction confirms my main point: the general public doesn't bother to think the situation through and judges actions made in war without the necessary context. Which just confirms that this kind of transparency is just as good as determining whether or not climate change is real (or if vaccination is harmful) through general election without any minimal education requirements.

The branches should never be separate, in the end every branch cares about final product, that it sells.

What is missing in the model is strategy - there should be people responsible for an overall strategy. That part requires communication with all branches while having a general vision. In a small company, that function always belongs to CEO.

Next, someone who cares about internal company health. In some companies, this would be called "operations". Those people would handle adherence to rules, mood and day to day infrastructure. (maybe part of hiring process)
Think of them as legal branch of a government.

This makes it four.

Tossing these two as one (company machine) is problematic. Strategy needs to "be plugged into" all of the processes quite directly, as well as being aware of external conditions.
