p.s. I love working here. The team is smart and talented but also deeply good, respectful, and empathetic.
In SF, I see cyclists jumping traffic lights, ignoring STOP signs, not giving right of way to pedestrians in the cross walk etc. etc.. In my anecdotal experience I see more cyclists breaking traffic laws everyday than cars. I havent felt the same way in other American or European cities, so its possible this is an SF only thing.

Science and technology would not be the fields that they are without such virtues. Your question is odd, the answer is kind of blatantly obvious.

I am not saying these people are infallible, I am saying that they are obviously equipped with better tooling and experience to make such judgements than someone who has no serious experience in dealing with "hard" subjects.

It was probably a mistake for me to explicitly list "STEM", but I thought it would hopefully convey my point a bit better. We live in an extremely technology oriented society, so it's a rather important subject to be decently versed in. However, a good, invested effort into the subject of philosophy would definitely be more than sufficient to make up for people's knowledge and reasoning errors.

Are we going to pretend this is not the case?
This. I don't understand why some people think companies are entitled to get people for whatever wage they seem fit. If you can't afford it, tough luck. Let market forces decide what people are to be paid.

> here's no case to be made that there is any economic benefit to farming in the city. By all measures, it's much more expensive.

I think that is a bit myopic.

A small farm can look nice too. And even with electric transport, there's the fact that cities have to bulldoze over miles and miles of nature in order to accommodate the kind of transport you're talking about, mainly cars. Which is why some cities are moving away from cars and into more dense kinds of environments. Once that's done, transporting your crop of the day from the farm into the city becomes a bit of a hassle

If the press digs up dirt on a candidate, should they not publish it until they dig up some dirt on their opponent? What if it's a foreign newspaper? Should Deep Throat's leaks not been published, because they would influence the election? What if he were a card-holding Democrat? What if he were a reptilian agent?

I hate Trump as much as the next person, but there was no shortage of actual dirt that was dug up on him. There was no democratic outrage over the source of his comments about grabbing people's genitals... Or that one page of his tax return.

> You could say the same thing about anything people do in secret.

I don't think that makes sense. There is no attempt to generalize this to things people do in secret. There is no claim that if something could risk your reputation then it follows that it should be made public.

Carmack's assertion is only that this particular work (for which the witness does voluntarily and is paid for) should be made public so that these witnesses use the same level of rigor they would for their other published work. And letting the public review it would have benefits too. (I am not agreeing or disagreeing with this.)

Ultimately, if we take Carmack's statements as true, it sounds to me like Facebook/Occulus' defense did not do an adequate job of instilling doubt in the report. He wrote that the defense did a technical tear down. I think if I was a juror, I would need to see this report completely destroyed. I'd need to see the same methodology applied to works where we know there was no copying and have it find false positives.
Which would in my opinion even be a good consequence.
Most people consider intellectual property as a given, and believe without questioning that IP promotes innovation. This book examines those types of arguments and makes a case that IP hinders innovation. Relevant considering the recent Oculus case.
I have no problem with them being in the streets screaming there message. In fact i prefer it then its easy to spot the crazy. For a private company like reddit i don't blame them at all for shutting them down. Even if reddit leans left (i am a libertarian) its there site/company they can do what they want. If people don't like it they will move elsewhere. I agree with you private companies and citizens shouldn't have to tolerate this non sense in the name of free speech.
The rise of the military as a check (or aid) to presidential power (think Turkey) is one thing that I strongly believe can't happen in this country not solely in a legal sense but military personnel won't be used in force against citizens they will simply refuse to.
It seems you are asserting that people who don't understand anything about the core concept can make reasonable decisions based on contrived analogies. Perhaps you are right, but I don't think so.

When both sides put forward equally convincing analogies and few, if any, of the jurors know what is actually going on then how do they choose which analogy to believe?

> That being said, working on company equipment during company time? Carmack screwed up.

I'm fairly sure Carmack saw his role as one of a researcher, such that working on VR and sharing knowledge with the outside was part of what he was being paid for. I'm not familiar with his contract but I remember his communications regarding VR at the time and that's the way it appeared.

It is surprising that particles going into your lungs would have significant cognitive effects.

Although it's fashionable to assert that pollution causes every imaginable ill effect, there needs to be a causal chain. In this case, "air pollutants induced inflammation, cell death and the buildup of amyloid protein in the brain".

That chain is not intuitive (and not predicted), thus, "Surprising."

They've already demonstrated they won't use this to build features you want.
GitHub is so strongly associated with Open Source right now for a few reasons.

First, git is decentralized by default. GitHub has very little secret sauce here; most, if not all, of their cool git tricks are actually pushed upstream into the git client to benefit everybody. For remote management, I can run `git init --bare` in any directory on any ol' ssh box I want and then set it up as a remote and get the same exact `git push` experience. Or use any of the strategies that git supports for interacting with remotes.

So GitHub chose a great decentralized tool as their foundation, and then got the community UX right. There's easy permissions management, easy SSH key management and instructions, issue and PR tracking, easily-accessed discussion, etc. GitHub is 95% about community and 5% about easy repo management, IMO.

That said, they're no longer the only player in town. They're the most universally understood, but you can easily set up a GitLab CE server on your own hardware if you want the same thing for free, but there are management costs associated with that.

I think the other critical reason GitHub is associated with open source software is that, after all, it's 100% free for open source software. You get all the above features for free if you don't discriminate about who can see and clone your code. GitLab will give you free private repos, but in my opinion I think GitHub takes the better stance here for the Open Source world. "You want free tools? You have to either pay up or share."

Is signals your "done" channel?
The assertion is based on the idea that this thing you did is a reflection on who you are, so people who interact with you have a right to know about it so they can judge you by it.

I agree that in this specific instance, it was the job of Oculus' legal team to discredit the report in front of the court. Publishing it after the fact for review by the public doesn't make sense, and calling for it is petty.
There's been some really good progress made on the tablet mode in Win10. It's not really apparent if you're using it as a Desktop OS.

Specifically the Surface Book does a really good job of making the windows "experience" work in a keyboardless scenario. I'm sure the same is true of the other convertable hardware that's been popping up lately.

I'll concede that this isn't the majority of users but I would argue it's not just a rewrapping of existing software.

Or because they're old and beat to death and don't work anymore? They used to work and that's where Buffett started.

Yes, that's mostly true, which is what I said (I said, "most rich finance people made it from commissions of some form or another, not market gains.")

> And as far as "avoid psychopaths in management" that's actually nearly opposite Buffett's real philosophy,

No, it's really not.

> which is "you want to own a business any fool can run, because sooner or later a fool will be running it".

Didn't Peter Lynch say that? It's a good quote though; I've certainly used it. My favorite Buffett quote is "Risk comes from not knowing what you're doing."

Also "Long ago, Ben Graham taught me that 'Price is what you pay; value is what you get.' Whether we're talking about socks or stocks, I like buying quality merchandise when it is marked down"

I don't think that contradicts the other comment. They said that the hijackers all entered legally. You're saying that some didn't have legal status on the day of the attack. Both are true. That some of them overstayed or didn't meet the terms of their visas after arrival is interesting, but not very actionable unless you want to set up an internal passport system or something.

The 1% group is quite hereditary[1]

There are of course exceptions, but you are much more likely to end up in the 1% if your parents are also in that segment.

In the US I have the feeling that a lot of people support its social structure because they believe themselves to be future [mb]illionaires, aka the American dream.

In Europe where most realize that they will never end up in that spot, even with hard work, there is a much more egalitarian structure to society.

I'm not saying any of them are bad, but the notion that everyone can reach the 1% is by definition false. Only 1% of the population can be in that spot.

You can via social structures even it out though so more people can share in the generated wealth. And I think that is actually free will since the social structure is chosen unless one lives under a dictatorship or such.

I'm curious: Why did you think that? There are articles, from time-to-time, that decry this notion, and yet I find that young/first-time entrepreneurs often think this. Since it's such a common notion - I've become generally increasingly curious about how it (this idea) is spread. How it gets into people's heads. Any thoughts?

That will never happen until the power of the Federal government is rolled back to its strictly enumerated powers as intended by the framers. That, unfortunately, isn't going to happen any time soon unless an Article V convention starts whittling away at the last century of overreach.

> Why does everyone think that hacking the DNC amounted to "hacking the election".

In the American two-party political system, it is very important who the two candidates are, and how they are chosen. While it is formally only the business of the two political parties to choose their candidates however they see fit, in practice also the primaries are an important part of democracy.

If America had a more modern multiparty system, the decisions of individual parties would be less important for the whole.

Most European countries run their presidential elections in two rounds: First round all parties can run their candidates, and second round is between the two winners of the first round. In America the primaries pretty much take the role of the first round in the European model.

(Also, the whole idea of counting votes instead of counting winners per electoral district is a bit alien to the American system, so it's not easy to see how the European system could be implemented in America.)
The problem is that there's an adversary who, in practice, is not attempting to lead the jury to the correct conclusion, but lead them to a conviction. And that adversary will be equally able to explain in an understandable way why, despite your explanation to the contrary, you in fact are guilty of the charges.

The system works when juries are able to differentiate between expert witnesses, and that may very well require more expertise than just applying everyday common knowledge to two competing expositions.
I agree with the author/OP. UNIX may be not perfect (what is?), but I, too, believe that it is the best we have, and there are lessons to be learned. UNIX is an OS, an API, a library (and a good one!), and an IDE. In fact, it was created as a programmer's OS. Modern UNIX-based operating systems can be called "UNIX" in a very limited sense, almost to the point of that being largely irrelevant. The bloat, heavy-weight desktop environments, many of the GUI-based tools - all of that is goes against the minimalist philosophy and design of UNIX as it was originally conceived. Some may see it as being "primitive", in a certain sense, just as people call the C programming language primitive, but there is beauty in the fact that one can accomplish so much using such "primitive" tools.
