> that software is "thing-oriented" rather than "people-oriented

Yes, that is the dominant view. You may have a different opinion (which you haven't substantiated except by assertion), but that's just that, your opinion.

> without proof, that these observed differences are stable across cultures.

Actually, most of the studies that replicated these findings (with large effect sizes and very large sample sizes) were cross cultural.

I collected references here:

http://blog.metaobject.com/2017/08/the-science-behind-manife...

One of the most interesting finding (that's also been replicated), is that gender differences in these traits increase the more egalitarian the society. This is the exact opposite of what you'd expect if the differences were caused by cultural pressure.

Well, you just were.

So they replace constant low-level anxiety of politics with low-level anxiety of getting hit by a truck?
I was mostly referring to how Iraq after 9/11 was repeatedly claimed to have WMDs. This was done to justify a war, which was obviously actually about oil.

US intelligence agencies time and time again claimed to posses evidence of Iraq having WMDs, and how it was vital to invade to stop Saddam from using them.

After the invasion it was obvious to pretty much everyone that the WMDs weren't there, they had been deliberately lied to, and that the "evidence" was manufactured.

I remember even Colin Powell being furious about this, seeing as he was the one who stood in front of the UN presenting the "evidence" as fact. A massive loss of face. He was not happy.
> perhaps better advice is to use words from a random language other than your own

I think you may have missed the point that the XKCD cartoon was making. The question here is NOT how to generate passwords that are hard for computers to guess. That's a solved problem: simply generate a 128-bit string with a secure random number generator, and that's your secure password that computers can't guess easily.

The PROBLEM is to generate a password where the ratio of ease-for-humans-to-remember to ease-for-computers-to-guess is maximized. Using words from a language other than your own is NOT a good way to maximize this. Introducing just one more randomly-generated word from your own language will be far more effective by this criterion.
I agree, you'd need a way to verify every machine is running the the open source software. The risk are too great you'll fail and the rewards for anyone that can hack the machines too great.

To say a machine hasn't been hacked is trying to prove a negative.
User Data Privacy in iOS: Why and How To
Yes, but framing the problem as a clash of demographics with derogatory terms for entire age-groups of people is lazy crap IMO.
If sixty people are suing google, then the 'manifesto' author may have had a point: there is something wrong.
How can we begin to keep _humans_ safe? Most people would never willfully kill someone, because of morals they've been taught since childhood. Human babies naturally have a strong connection to their parents, and can even respond to their emotions. Young children naturally want to be like their parents. Similarly, a successful AI must have a group of humans from whom it wants to gain respect.

Most arguments saying AI will destroy us assume a singular goal. With one goal, it's impossible to succeed. It's far better for the AI to try to get approval from it's "parents". Since this isn't a singular, well defined goal, its impossible for an AI to follow it in the " wrong way".

Of course, this gets into the whole "artificial pleasure" idea, where robots inject humans with dopamine to make them technically "happy". But, how many humans do you see drugging their parents? Any AI advanced enough to be truly intelligent will know whether or not its " parents" truly approve of what its doing.
You got to that just by the word "serverless" being used to refer to the code execution? Amusing caption contest, but completely missing the point.
What does this post bring to the discussion ? This is worthless.

Dart is surprisingly nice, considering how little I hear of it. I picked it up recently as a target for my hobby project (a Clojure interpreter). Dart's VS Code integration is phenomenal. Its VM is pretty efficient from a resource consumption perspective (especially compared to the JVM). It's worth a look, for anyone who hasn't bothered with it yet.

Then I'm not sure what your point is. "freedom" in this context usually relates to the law. As such "freedom to X" usually implies the legal framework to support X.

If you are saying "freedom to X doesn't mean no legal consequences" then the phrase would be meaningless.

The Guardian (and other news outlets) can report on claims that others make without fear of repercussion. If their reported viewpoint is later shown to be defamatory, they can fall back on simply reporting the facts: Some other source condemned the document.

But if they make the claim that a document, person, or company is misogynistic or scientifically inaccurate, stating it as fact, then they are liable.

This is why so much reporting today is sprinkled liberally with the word "alleged". It's more common (and reasonable) in reporting on crime, when police or prosecutors claim that someone is guilty before the trial is complete, but it seems to be a habit that seeps into all reporting.
It's not a big deal if you haven't made the egregious choice of investing any extra money you may have earned, perhaps via an ETF.

Furthermore, good luck finding a place to invest in the first place. If looking for a US company, the likes of Vanguard and Charles Stanley will freeze your account if they find you reside outside the US. In the UK, I've gotten very used to seeing the text 'we are unable to open accounts for US, Cuban, Iran, Sudan, Syria, and North Korea persons'.

I make well below the standard deduction and just want to save a bit for my future. The US laws as they stand make this very difficult.

And because the two sides of the topic lives in their own social echo chamber, everyone will find enough validation on both claims and counterclaims, without being exposed to the the other side argument, in full with its flaws or in the parts that holds water.

The real victim here is debate. Even suggesting there's an issue worth debating is ripe for being flagged and flogged, and that's bad.

I understand they know how to do tech. Magic bands and their backend systems only really have to handle the number of visitors at their parks and hotels. I think that is much smaller scale than engineering something to provide streaming on-demand movies to the globe (which should be their goal). For their original content, they won't have licensing restrictions like Netflix does so the only thing holding them back would likely be tech.

Also from the article, they aren't doing the tech. They bought stake in a company that does MLB and ESPN streaming.

> For same responsibilities same salary.
Why is that? If there is someone who is willing to take on those responsibilities for less pay, well that's just fine for the company and I think that people tend to forget that Google (and many other IT companies) is a for-profit company.

For me at least, I've always seen salary negotiations as somewhat of a "right person at the right moment". If you're very lucky and the company really needs they will be willing to pay you more than what you would make at a different company on the same role, maybe more than what others are doing on the same role, just because you were there, at that time, when they were most in need. It may not always be like that, but think of it as demand/offer relationship.

So regardless of gender/race it's the need of the company that comes first. Because as a employee you fulfill a need that the company has and you are being paid for that.
> I now predict an uptick in people using 'correctbatteryhorsestaple' as their password...

At least that's slightly better than "correcthorsebatterystaple" which appeared in the XKCD. The really funny part is that I automatically noticed this when reading your comment because I have "correcthorsebatterystaple" so fully committed to memory that I noticed when you deviated.
> No, the claim is that you cannot have context-free universally true premises for every type discussion.

A core part of "rational discussion" (as I understand it) is separating premises from arguments, so that when someone comes to a conclusion you disagree with, you point out whether you disagree with the premises or the argument (or both) and then you can go into more detail to pinpoint where exactly the disagreement comes from.

The statement "Because Jews are possessed by mind-eating demons from Xzdrgs, the Holocaust was justified." is probably both too absurd in its premise and too abhorrent in its conclusion to warrant serious consideration, and yet if someone wanted to engage it in a rational discussion, they could do so, e.g. by stating that mind-eating demons from Xzdrgs don't exist or that assuming they did exist, you couldn't defeat them by killing the host, or any number of other arguments. Those arguments themselves are then subject to counterclaims based in the same principles of rational discussion, and so on.

Now I wonder whether you could turn "absurdist rational discussion" into a game and whether it would be any fun to play.
> $ node > [] + {} '[object Object]' > {} + [] 0

Note that that has nothing to do with math. It has to do with braces being used for both blocks and object literals.

Of course, I'm not too happy about the automatic coercion of everything and anything to either strings or numbers, but if you want consistency, try parentheses, or a + [], where a = {}.

It would seem that not much has really changed since then:

"To your request of my opinion of the manner in which a newspaper should be conducted, so as to be most useful, I should answer, `by restraining it to true facts & sound principles only.' Yet I fear such a paper would find few subscribers. It is a melancholy truth, that a suppression of the press could not more compleatly deprive the nation of it's benefits, than is done by it's abandoned prostitution to falsehood.
Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle. The real extent of this state of misinformation is known only to those who are in situations to confront facts within their knowlege with the lies of the day. I really look with commiseration over the great body of my fellow citizens, who, reading newspapers, live & die in the belief, that they have known something of what has been passing in the world in their time; whereas the accounts they have read in newspapers are just as true a history of any other period of the world as of the present, except that the real names of the day are affixed to their fables. General facts may indeed be collected from them, such as that Europe is now at war, that Bonaparte has been a successful warrior, that he has subjected a great portion of Europe to his will, &c., &c.; but no details can be relied on. I will add, that the man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them; inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods & errors. He who reads nothing will still learn the great facts, and the details are all false."

I love Google Play Music for exactly this reason: I have 20k songs uploaded and counting. No other service is offering anything close.
Sadly the team seems to have recently scaled back on the "Your library" features in favor of radio (where they can insert ads), neutering the Instant Mix feature, removing the ability to make a "Feeling Lucky" mix of my uploaded music, and re-jiggering the interface to push Radio harder.

The thing is, the paid tier of GPM is really only for on-demand streaming of the music catalogue and removing ads in the radio. As an upload-only user, I really see no reason to pay money for a service that I am fully enjoying for free. If Google were to add back (and continue developing) the removed My Library features and decide to make a payment tier for use-cases like mine, I'd happily subscribe. Their focus on "your library anywhere, with extra features" is something that really stands out. I'd hate to see GPM turn into just another stream-what's-licensed service.

> Since Java has always been strongly typed and has a ton of libraries available

Means nothing for alt-Java languages' JS target. While the host language gets the Java ecosystem for free, to replicate on the client every Java library needs to be cross compiled.

It's a non-trivial endeavor, one that ClojureScript and Scala.Js can largely avoid due to their already having a rich set of cross compiled frameworks and libraries in their respective ecosystems.

There are two examples of misunderstanding the human element here.

One is that rotation and complexity rules lead to password spreadsheets and postit notes, a different kind of security issue.

Another is that forcing someone to constantly defend and explain why something is the way it is, leads to that persona eventually implementing something that (even is worse), will attract fewer questions.

"no poaching" is illegal but it doesn't go against free market principles.

I call bullshit. A no poaching agreement very much resembles a cartel. Same as companies colluding in order to squeeze the highest possible value out of, say, tenders for public works.

If poaching agreements are in line with free markets then so are lying, cheating and violating just about every aspect which is the basis of contract law.
all your examples are from repressive regimes (either economically, or politically). You see very low participation rates on hard STEM among women on countries where women have both large degree of economic and political freedom.
Basically, when women have choices, they choose against hard STEM. It is not just the US, but other countries with even better gender relations (Norwawy, Sweden, Denmark), it seems women just don't want to study computer science/engineering or physics.

In communist countries people were assigned jobs and often it was not their choice where they ended up. If the country had X % has to be women, then so be it.

This is not about being wrong or not resisting -- everybody can be wrong. The contemporary equivalent would be the Neo-Con intellectual who still today defends the invasion, who goes to Baghdad and sends back rosy reports of how healthy Capitalist markets are providing plentiful goods and well-paying jobs to all and the swift eradication of poverty in Liberal-Democratic Iraq, and who angrily dismiss all arguments that things are actually pretty crap by blaming the state of things on the existential and entirely justified need to fight Iran-funded insurgencies and the damn communist Kurds stealing the oil in the north.
I don't know if your assessment of that is accurate. I opened 2 cards last year, the AMEX Platinum and Chase Sapphire Reserve deal. I got 100k points for each card. I had some existing points and then some extra spending and I was able to get 2 business class tickets to Japan ($18k value) and 15 nights in 5 and 6 star Hyatt hotels. That was probably another $8k in value. I spent 170k AMEX points on the flights and 155k Chase points on the hotels. That trip was amazing and it was only possible because of the points.

Was it a lot of work? Not really. I just put all my spending on my AMEX for a few months. Then I switched to the Chase Sapphire for a months. Once I got all the points I needed, I just transferred the the Amex points to ANA and the Chase points to Hyatt. I then booked my flights and hotels. Booking flights was slightly harder as my fiance and I weren't married so we had to transfer points to separate accounts, but it definitely wasn't a chore at all. A simple phone call to AMEX took care of that. Booking rooms with Hyatt and using points was a breeze.

There are other benefits of having high end cards too. I got Global Entry for my fiance and I ($200 value). We didn't have to go through customs on the way back to USA. I got $300 travel credit from CSR card per year. $200 airline credit from AMEX Plat. I was able to get orchestra tickets to Hamilton in NYC for $399 through AMEX plat.

If I had a million points, I could book 3-4 dream vacations. Not sure what went wrong with your redemptions.

Here's Bill Whittle's version of Cultural Marxism:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3n8wQceQq_Y

Bill Whittle seems like an asshole by the way. But a slick asshole so he stays within the bounds of what's acceptable to say, though even that has some real craziness in it.

Apparently you're not allowed to tell homosexuals that Iran mistreats homosexuals. "Marxist Critical theory" stops him from saying that somehow. I'm not sure why you want to say that to homosexuals, or get annoyed that they don't listen. Presumably the real message is "don't complain, as it's worse elsewhere?" Maybe casually bringing up people exactly like them being killed for being exactly like them is to make them feel welcomed and cherished. He doesn't exactly spell it out, because, as I say he's kinda slick even though he says lots of crazy stuff.

Also, black people in 1920s America, didn't realise there was a problem until the Marxists told them they were getting a bad deal.

I guess this stuff explains why over 50% of Republican's think Higher Education is bad for America. Direct quote: "You are paying people to teach your kids to hate you".

But since "mainstream" Republicanism include Trump and Birtherism (which is totally not racist at all, just asking questions as you would for any President), Climate Change denial etc. I guess you're not wrong to call him mainstream.
