In Lamport's defence: (1) He's Leslie Lamport, so his comments about academic Computer Science should be at least considered before they are dismissed. (2) His audience (and the target of his critique) was not an arbitrary set of self-taught programmers, hackers, and vencap enthusiasts. It was mathematicians and computer scientists who went to a Leslie Lamport talk. Ability to read basic set theory notation isn't exactly something that's weird to expect in that environment. (3) The notation he is using is not at all complex or obscure in academic CS. You literally would have trouble reading even rudimentary papers and summaries of basic theorems in CS if you couldn't follow that notation. He's pointing out that he's seeing a lot of people who claim to be CS people that have the sort of disability that a "physicist" who doesn't know what a matrix or determinant is would have. Without those rudiments, they just can't follow the discussion. If you can't follow the duscussion, you can't contribute to it. CS != Programming.

Hangouts Meet and Hangouts Chat are part of Hangouts realignment to be enterprise-focussed, and are, IIRC, only available as part of GSuite. Users don't choose them, admins do.

Android Messages is an SMS-only app; your device vendor probably has their own default one, but if not (or if you don't like it) you can use the Google one. (It's not that new, it's been around since about the time they announced the new direction for Hangouts, long before they implemented the new enterprise-focussed Hangouts offerings.)

If they are not used to the notation quite often, they are likely to forget it. I surely learnt all those notations, passed the math exams and don't remember some of those notations.

How you're affected by noise is not quite that simple, is it?

As someone who must have been a guard dog in a previous life, I can sleep absolutely fine in the middle of a busy city or next to a busy road or near an airport. But it's the noise variations that gets me. IE in residential areas outside the city it's usually very quiet at night, except when it's suddenly not. In the cities its always pretty loud so there's little sudden change of noise.

If you remember whose Google's customers are--advertisers, not users--coherency is a lot easier to understand.

So it's really easy to predict Google. Just ask the following questions:

- can Google run ads to every user of the product?
- can Google extract usage data to build a better user profile, in order to charge more for above ads?

The answer with regard to Talk or any interoperable service, is almost always no to both.

The incoherency we see is related to the fact that not every engineer or manager at Google is fully plugged into the above or sometimes they create a product that fails to answer the above with the hope they'll figure that out later. Sometimes the nature of the product or the fact that it's an open standard makes it impossible to evolve the product to get the questions right.

I loved that I could use my native Mac messaging app to communicate with colleagues in google chat. It was real-time and all messages were logged and available in gmail. I guess that's going away.
The 25A is, in the house of my parents (built '05), what each breaker and line support.

As a line might be hardwired to multiple sockets, or to an appliance, or might be connected via a CEE plug instead of Schuko, it might support more than 16A.

If you build a large-scale GPU Cluster, you won’t connect them all to a single socket, but each to a separate socket, although they might be on the same line. That’s where the 25A can be useful.
Besides the notation (math language) another large factor is that programmers are generally not used to declarative languages as most languages are imperative and it takes deliberate practice to make the leap. Haskell has the same problem.
Reconcile that with "stickerless commingled inventory". How would they possibly track it? They are, at best, stretching the truth.

Note that in areas where it exposes them to liability (movies), they won't allow stickerless. That tells you something about "tracking the source".

Edit: If the bins are such a good idea why are stickers sometimes required? Also if finding the sources is so easy why do sellers selling counterfeit goods stay in the system for so long?
"I had already explained that [1..N ⟶ 1..N] is the set of functions that map the set 1..N of integers from 1 through N into itself"

As a programmer, I would read that as if he is defining a set of function objects. And the domain and codomain of the those function objects must be integers in the range 1..N.

Come to think about it... Isn't the size of the set exactly the number of permutations from 1..N? In other words N^N? If so, an audience of computer scientists would probably have understood the following better:

import itertools
list(itertools.product(range(N), repeat = N))
Your original post made it sound like discriminating by criminal record was illegal. Most of the time when discrimination is used as a pejorative, illegality is implied. I always assumed it was legal, but then again I know nothing about laws in CA so I thought maybe it actually is illegal in CA.
I'll add a second observation Dinah. Toxic personalities like the sort you run into on message boards are great at chasing women out of tech. The sort of person who will attack you with nothing but anecdotes to claim there is no gender imbalance in a field like tech or teaching, despite clear evidence of the opposite. These people demand the last word, so the only option women have is to sit down, shut up, and be put in their place... or leave. My experience is that most girls choose to leave.

IM isn't easy to solve, but it really is. All you need are

* commitment

* nice UI

* nice add-on services

Putting Skype's privacy and issues aside, it has proven to be a very successful IM product for the past decade.

Slack, HipChat are more geared toward developers / tech workers.

IRC is probably one of the oldest and still widely used because of its simplicity (once you know how to use it, it's easy to use)

If you merge all of them together, and have a real product team to support the product forward, it won't be hard. Of course, if your goal is to integrate with 20 other services, yeah, you will run out lucky hitting someone's walled garden.
Don't we already have GSM and LTE, and who knows what else? And I'm not aware of any legislation for the use of those over others. As far as I know, as long as I have the right to use the frequencies, I could start my own cellular telco that transmits whatever format I want.

Seriously. I somehow ended up using all of them, and I honestly don't know what's going on anymore. I thought my Talk got merged into Hangouts, if I start a chat in Gmail it's sometimes findable in my iOS hangouts app, and sometimes it's not. A while ago the Voice team asked me to merge Voice with Hangouts, which I did because clearly the service was dead. This seemed like a plan... your SMS chats are just chats in Hangouts and in addition to calling other Hangouts users you can call phone numbers, but we're keeping the Voice app & site around for legacy users. Fine. But in January they released an upgrade to the Voice apps with this gem:

If you currently use Hangouts for your Google Voice communication, there’s no need to change to the new apps, but you might want to try them out as we continue to bring new improvements.

W.T.F? Don't bring me into your internal office politics...

Then there's Allo because with all the above they made it too complicated to chat with someone or something. Also Duo, because video calling was completely missing from the offerings above (it wasn't).

In my experience users don't know or care to know the name of the product they're using beyond 'google'. If the app has their friends and contacts in it and people respond to messages they'll use it.

If I ask someone what app or service they used to send me a message I didn't see, they can't really tell me.

Increasingly they don't even know if they sent a text message or something else entirely.
"Mr. Trump, in a telephone interview moments after the bill was pulled, blamed Democrats and predicted that they would seek a deal within a year after, he asserted, “Obamacare explodes” because of higher premiums."

Yep, my experience is similar. I've bought tons of stuff online over the years and not once ever have I bought if I had to contact sales or had to fill out a lengthy form [1] in order to get a demo or price. This includes during the two startups I cofounded (ie where I was the person making the company purchase decisions).

Runes are the most obvious example I can think of. Runes have vertical lines and diagonal lines, but no horizontal lines. This is because the normal medium for runes were narrow wooden sticks, or staves, and horizontal lines would go with the grain and would therefore be hard to see, and while carving a horizontal line you could too easily get stuck in a groove and mis-carve. With the added difficulty of carving curved lines, you necessarily get runes’ distinctive angular style: ᚠᚢᚦᚨᚱᚲ

Talk was built on top of XMPP, an open protocol, which helped its popularity as third party clients could connect to it.

By the time google talk came around, third party clients were easily connecting to all the other major IM services. I don't think the open protocol made any difference to its popularity.

This is not true. There are email standards out there to help prevent spam. But right now Google simply ignores all this even if everything is setup correctly. I think Google has a responsibility in helping me debug _why_ an email is spam and give tools to fix it. Currently, there is 0 information, 0 support.

> Honest question: Is it actually illegal to discriminate in the hiring process based on criminal record?

Not directly.

I mean, given the disparate impact on protected classes, you could maybe make a case that of their isn't some clear business justification, it's indirect, e.g., racial discrimination and illegal for that reason, but I suspect it wouldn't take much to convince a court of the justification of most real-world policies involving criminal-record discrimination.

My grandmother's house got fiber this way in sleepy rural Minnesota. They were digging up and replacing all of the streets in town and laying fiber (including the runs to the home) as they went. It seemed really smart to me.

I have to admit I was pretty surprised to go down into her basement for a jar of homemade pickles and seeing an ONT bolted to the wall. She doesn't even have a computer or cable TV, it was only providing POTS. It's going to be quite the perk for whomever moves in after she dies though.

I tried Allo once, which was enough.

It was actually fascinating, because it was among the most viscerally negative reactions I've ever had to a piece of software.

It reminded me of that trick where you play back someone's speech to them in a very slight delay and it becomes very difficult for them to speak, only in this case with my inner monologue while trying to participate in a conversation.

Without claiming to know what the administration of an anonymous college thought a century and some years ago, James's clause "after supporting himself by literary labor for three years" suggests to me that the college may have hired this man for his literary reputation rather than his philosophy background.

I do not say that philosophy itself is irrelevant either to literature or the teaching of literature. I will say that there have been very competent philosophers whose judgment in literature is at least suspect--think of Kant quoting the poetry of Frederick the Great, generally regarded as pretty bad stuff--and that there have been very competent writers on literature whose grasp of philosophy isn't strong.

Shall I go home and remove from my shelves the criticism and poetry of T.S. Eliot, who never bothered to show up and defend his Ph.D. thesis at Harvard?
It was a product driven decision. The number of active federations was absolutely tiny and the number of messages sent over those links even tinier. The amount of XMPP spam was catastrophic, and for most users the only knowledge they'd ever have of XMPP was when they got a friend request from buy.herbal.viagra@cheap-online-meds.com. XMPP federation was a great idea, but it never had adoption, and at some point Google had to decide between UX and software purity - With one side having a clear high cost and unclear benefits.

(I was a Google SRE, sitting near the talk team. Everyone wanted XMPP to succeed, but the numbers didn't even come close to working out)
Thank you for this.

I plan to roll my own email server in the near future, due to legal and privacy concerns. As I understand it, in the US email archives aren't protected under the Fourth Amendment because they're asking for data from a third party, and the Fourth Amendment only applies to self-incrimination.
> That comment didn't understand that floating ice doesn't increase water levels when it melts. That's either a deliberate attempt to confuse, or something so clueless that it's indistinguishable from malice.

Your misunderstanding of the knowledge of an average person is either a deliberate attempt to confuse, or something so clueless that it's indistinguishable from malice.

See how unproductive such comments are?

But seriously, how many people do you think actually understand buoyancy? A simple explanation that floating ice displaces an equal amount (mass, not volume) of water would be both more civil and more productive.
This change does not impact Google Voice users who may continue to use Hangouts for their Google Voice SMS. Project Fi users who wish to use Hangouts as their SMS app will also not be impacted by this change

What kind of sense does that make? Does this mean that Voice and Fi users can't use Android Messages for SMS? And what about MMS?
I only notice when I visit my parents. It's super quiet there and I often sleep for 10 hours or more. I never sleep that much at home with air condition noise from the neighbors and cars driving by. Sometimes when there is a power outage you suddenly notice how quite it can get without all the background noise.
I think some of the most exciting and interesting work comes out of proving, not just capabilities, but constraints for systems, be it Gödel, Shannon, Aaronson, or any of the others in the smaller-than-desirable tradition of those who say, "No". I think a better understanding what Deep Learning can't do (well) is fertile material for better understanding the kinds of problems it can do, and am very excited to see more work in this space, and movement towards an underlying structural theory.
