"The workplace homicide rate for prostitutes (204 per 100,000) is many times higher than that for women and men in the standard occupations that had the highest workplace homicide rates in the United States during the 1980s (4 per 100,000 for female liquor store workers and 29 per 100,000 for male taxicab drivers)."

I wasn't really into OS/2 but I concede that it was probably about as good as NT at the time.

I would, however, much rather use NT 3.51 as a desktop OS than Solaris 2.5 with CDE and its 80s-style command line utilities (luckily it seems they are using GNU stuff nowadays?).
It seems like it is a fair comparison; why do consumers care what MS's target market is, except insofar as it affects a product they want to buy?

I suppose this is why many people prefer Ben and Jerry's ice cream to Safeway.

Oh, my real goal is to teach people how to get well (or at least healthier) when that is supposed to be impossible as I have a form of cystic fibrosis. I have found that the written word on my website is just not information dense enough. I have begun supplementing it with links to videos and graphics and such, but it seems it is just not enough. The gap between my mental model and what the rest of the world "knows" to be true is just too large. So I want to create a simulation showing some of the ideas of the mental model which has worked to help me get well so that people can play with the concepts and learn them in a safe way rather than making huge and damaging mistakes with their health.

I've discussed it with my adult sons. They have suggested a type of game as a starting place: A roguelike. I need to come up with a means to measure or graph (for game purposes) some key things I mentally track in my own life, such as acidity, germiness, and toxic/allergic exposures. I really have no idea where to begin. :-/ I find it frustrating because the few people who have been able to make use of my ideas indicate they have gotten some very exciting results. But most people are just angry at me and treat me like a liar, charlatan, and snake oil sales(wo)man. They just can't wrap their head around where I am coming from and it just makes them angry to hear from me, like I am sticking my tongue out at them and saying "nanner nanner -- I'm well and you're not!!!! ha ha ha" And now I think I have figured out the means (a game/simulation) to overcome the information gap but just can't seem to figure out where/how to start. Sigh.

Yep, you are spot on. GitX is the best OSX app for Git right now. Though last time I checked the barrier of entry was a little high because there were lots of forks with different features.

The moon's placement is also such that it's the same size as the sun when viewed from the earth, making total solar eclipses more stunning, and intelligent life viewing them may become a more inquisitive species, and maybe more likely to innovate Agriculture, and so sit around in cities considering philosophical questions. But is this the only Destined Entity?

The moon has not always been at the distance away from earth that it is now. The moon is moving away from earth at about 1.5 inches per year. Thus, one cannot argue about its placement because it has not always been at the distance it is now. What people knew about the moon before the 20th century is merely an artifact of when literate man appeared on earth.

More seriously, I think the simple reason is probably just that the flash memory doesn't work anymore but the OS and its apps maybe were installed in the ROM which has survived. Dunno... just a theory.

That looks great on OS X and Safari but the fake italics are just wrong. Don’t know why you would say that it sucks.

I don't mind the look too much but I do hate the all ajax navigation that gratuitously breaks the back button.

I also don't like the fake scrollbar and the arbitrarily small content window that wastes half of my window height--I've got a large screen, I shouldn't have to look at your content through a peephole.

I personally like the muted colors and lack of gradient/round corners/drop shadows everywhere but I can see it being criticized as "too plain". Minimalist doesn't == good design, necessarily.
Instead of code inspection, maybe the manager should impose short and easy to validate requirements (sub requirements of the general requirements imposed by the client) and ask the programmer to show the software passing them.

Even if TDD is not being used, the programmer can write a simple test for it and then show the manager the test succeed.

This semester I had a class of Software Engineering when we did a project using Scrum and weekly we had to show our teacher that we had accomplished our tasks. The teacher was playing the role of someone who didn't know any code, but we still had to show stuff working. So we would write simple tests to show for instance that SOAP Messages were being sent by one entity and in fact received by the other.

Did the library design get any less bloated that way?

Barely related: When my brother dropped his iPhone in a harbor, it took me about 3 minutes to find it with my toes in the frigid, chest deep water, but when as I lifted it to the surface it was still running with it's hello screen glowing.

A quick mechanical dewatering, clean water rinse, and another dewatering followed by a couple days of desiccant and gentle warmth and it mostly recovered. The camera did not survive, and a volume button is flakey.

I wonder if there is a business to had with a scooter, some anhydrous alcohol, and some vacuum desiccators. I suspect most toilet/pool drops could be recovered if you could train consumers to call for the superhero on the scooter to rush in, dewater, clean, and leave a loaner desiccator for the customer.

> I'm confused here - according to Wikipedia, (coital) prostitution is illegal in Japan.

And so is gambling, yet you'll find plenty of pachinko parlours or soaplands/"health salons" announced very explicitly. I believe the main reason is that many of these places are run by Yakuza (organized crime), and police would rather not stir up the hornet's nest - there's a sort of tacit agreement.
My local library solved this problem by blasting three different operas at obnoxious levels just outside the doorways.

It works, but it makes me cringe every time I walk into the library.

The country defends the right to speech, whether you are hateful with it or not is your choice. The country defends the right of guns to remind the government that the population is armed and willing to stand up to oppressive regimes. Proliferation of sex outside of the family unit, destroys the family unit. Seems straight forward to me.

Firstly, as a left handed person, if you are also left handed, learn to use your right hand(You probably don't have time for this though).

I would recommend the Palmer mothod, His book from 1935 is available to download here for free.

As someone who hated and avoided cursive writing (all my writing is print until I made an effort a couple of years ago) this really helped, but it takes a couple of months if you're left handed (learning to use your right hand) I'm sure a lot less if you're right handed.

"So Sasol could provide a replacement for oil that only costs 10-20$ per barrel?"

With sufficient natural gas feed stocks, yes.

As to why it's not being used now, until the very recent fracking revolution the supply of gas had been pretty tight, at least at where it's needed for consumption. See e.g. Russia's regular fights with the Ukraine.

Probably the only places where it might make sense to build GTL plants are in relatively unstable oil producing nations that are currently flaring off their gas instead of doing anything else.

There's also the issue of your confidence in predicting the future. These are expensive plants, and if e.g. a world-wide recession eventually leads to a crash in demand then you may not be able to service your debt on what you're able to sell your product at (there are plenty of people who suspect oil might crash to $10 a barrel, e.g. what if the PRC's demand sharply drops?).

I think there is a lot of evidence they are improving personal freedom and the rights of the individual, not dramatically so, not as fast as many would like.

Looking at property rights for example, the ability of people to appeal the decisions of local authorities, the ability of people to complain about local corruption and have action taken is reported to have improved greatly as compared to 10,20 or 30 years ago.
You're right about the 3D standards. Creating raw 3D content is one thing - use two cameras at perspectives that mimic the human eyes. I think I meant to say that the standards for publishing weren't there. You could release a 3D film for one standard, and it would be useless on another. It seems similar to the HD DVD and BluRay problem. The filming wasn't an issue, it was choosing which standard to package it with that was causing the issue.

Your argument may be too simple. If you have a look at the history of the steam engine, you will see massive gains in efficiency.

Those gains are what allowed industrialisation to escape Britain in reach the rest of Europe, where coal was more expensive than in Britain and labour less so.

(See e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_steam_engine as a starting point. I am sure there are better sources.)

Or look at the history of steel making. The 19th century alone saw huge decreases in the amount of coke used to make a single ton of steel---while improving quality all the time.

A couple of interesting things I've read about China.

Firstly many Chinese don't tie democracy and individual liberties together in the same way people in the west do.

Secondly I read that in China much is freeing up but the "3 Ts and an F" remain very sensitive. The "3 Ts and an F" are Tibet, Tiananmen, Taiwan and Falun Gong

Just like with your earlier post, I agree with almost everything you say. My one sticking point here is this:

A Great Unknown exists with things in it that will highly interest us and affect our lives.

"Things" in it? Hard to say. Depends on the definition of "things". Although I do agree that whatever the case we would likely have great interest in it.

"and affect our lives"

Not necessarily. And here, again, is a reason I'm led to believe you're theist. If you believe the height of conventional scientific wisdom then the universe will expand indefinitely, and we will simply be left more alone. To suggest that we are to be affected by something unknown is to take a position to the affirmative, as a theist would.

Two biggest threats to airliners are guns (for taking over the plane) and bombs (for blowing them up). Metal detecters, bomb dogs and maybe armed flight crews (we do this now) are really all that's needed to deal with all of those.

The current setup is all about $M's that security contractors get for high-end scanning equipment (as opposed to dogs that can be trained for $50K).

If you think sniffer > dogs, I have a shooting bag (complete with recent burns from muzzle flash) I take as my duffle, and it's been through the sniffer and nothing was detected. It's easy to imagine a hermetically sealed large laptop battery with explosives to bring a plane down. The people who did 9/11 were engineers, they could figure it out...

We're no more safe than we were, but the chances are VERY slim to be killed yourself. We're better fighting heart disease than airplane terrorism.
Resilient communities are a good hedge against globalization.

Best case, resilient communities can mitigate the harmful effects of globalization, improve local quality of life and dampen the magnifying network effects (whether financial, political, or natural). They can provide a "monkeysphere" that members can care about and be held accountable to, an excellent alternative to all the divisive, useless rhetoric and posturing in the MSM.

Worst case, they're the ones still eating and recovering ground after the the zombies/terrorists/enemy paratroopers/global pandemic/massive earthquakes strike.
If I'm honest the "restraint of colour" is really a lack of colour. It needs colour - I fall foul of this all the time as I don't mind grey-scale colour schemes but it really needs at least 1, preferably two colours.
China's people will make it happen. Their government seems to be contributing. China has great strength, and they compete globally. They are in the game. The fact is, the Chinese would be stupid not to build a just, fair and democratic society, for the universal benefits it endows. They aren't stupid.

It looks like there's still no way for applications to detect when ZeroMQ encounters common networking problems. If my application can't differentiate between "no response received" and "network error", I'll end up re-implementing timeouts and error detection logic in the application protocol. In most situations that's a waste of time and adds extra weight to the system. No thanks.

Magnus Carlsen vs. The World
I kind of agree with the author, although I see your points. If you are talking about getting a broader understanding of your subject then that's pretty much part of the phd and nobody will argue against you for studying things that you think _may_ be relevant.

On the other hand a PhD is not the place to study Arabic or Sociology if you want to be a high energy physics: you can do that, but in your free time, not in the University paid time. For a long time I thought it would be great to be a student all my life and just go to lectures and learn. But nowadays I know that if I want to learn I can pick up a book and learn. That's how a lot of people do: undergraduate is there to give you the tools but also to teach you the method.

Anyone worth their salt with a phd can study another topic by themselves: you don't need to be lectured and have tutorial anymore.
Adeo is principled in that he is honest and consistent. He's not an unadulterated cheerleader, and in Founder Institute, the aggressive/pressure inducing techniques (standing up before the room and having Adeo and investors/mentors question your idea) serve a very obvious purpose -- if your first high-pressure experience pitching your idea is in front of a VC, and you fuck up, you are doing it wrong, but it is a lot harder for standing up in front of a room of cheerleaders in training to be an effective simulation.

If someone is unwilling to endure high stress situations, that person should just get a job somewhere, vs. being an entrepreneur (and Founder Institute is pretty biased toward whole-business founders, vs. tech people). Calling people fat/ugly/bald/etc. is just a way to try to put them off guard. If you go out drinking with Adeo after Founder Institute, he's definitely a nice guy.

That's the concept behind a tenure: you don't need to _prove_ yourself anymore, and hence are free to take risky path that may fail and leave you with nothing.

But if every PhD student thought they were going to be the next Einstein and tried to write a new revolutionary paper, we'll end up with a lot Universities closing doors.

You give the risky stuff to those who have proved themselves, not to the ones who have just started.
This is the exact question that I raise whenever I find a new one (and there seems to be many). Lots of people use Aviary but that is more a Photoshop sudo-replacement over a true "drawing app."
