...which have been filtered by publishers deciding which manuscripts to publish, a past consumer deciding which book to buy, AND a used bookstore deciding which books to purchase for resale

..which is filtered much like the used books

... and then later filtered by YOU from the thousands of items in the store.

Why would you want to perform the role of the professional editor anyways? They already went through millions of items to get you those last few thousands of items to you.

Editing is a full-time job, why should consumers do that for themselves?

And, if you can't find products from a selection of professionally edited products, then your sense of taste isn't going to work with other people.

We need to trust editors and human filters more, not less, because they know whats better for you than you know yourself, and certainly better than algorithms.

Algorithms have always been terrible at making taste. This is why a real radio station with a human DJ is always better then the algorithmic radio services. Every time I try to listen to an algorithmic station, I have to turn it off, since they're so bad, even when given my existing playlists.

And can you imagine how bad a fashion magazine would be if it were algorithmically determined?
There are many examples where multiple experiments moved from an original bad result and slowly converged to a correct value. People will throw out results that where overly far from what was expected, but the drift is in the correct direction.

And really science need not move quickly as long as it continues to converge on accurate answers that's plenty useful.

EX: Nutrition research often get's dumped on, but it's far from useless. There are 41 things we know you need or issues will show up: (http://www.nutrientsreview.com/glossary/essential-nutrients + energy + water) Getting the specifics right is complex and we are working on it. Thiamine deficiency from white rice is the kind of thing you need to get right or die, 'optimal health' is a harder target.

Diving has pressure differentials of potentially hundreds or thousands of atmospheres.

Flying has a absolute ceiling on the pressure differential of one single atmosphere - and you have to be in space to get it.

This means that an airplane depressurization event can exert a maximum of around 14 PSI. A diving depressurization event at 100 feet is 50 PSI.

EDIT: Re-reading your comment, I'm helping prove your point. So, there's that. :D

This in spades. We spend so much time arguing the merits of our choice in cell phones, computers, living styles, organizations, cars, etc. seemingly forgetting that we are supposed to choose things, things aren't suppose to choose us.

The Mad Man marketing people salivate every time an iPhone versus Android argument sparks, they spent decades trying to get consumers to be loyal enough to get into fistfights over brands of products.

And we should all remember to keep our seat belts on. And also seriously you should put your mask on first quickly before helping others. Your ancestors didn't experience a lack of oxygen without excess CO2 so you'll only experience the later as feeling that you're running out of breath. Without oxygen you can become too stupid to put on your air mask[1], then black out and die without noticing something is wrong. And if you're working in a lab with a cryogenic liquid that spills don't try to be a hero, just get you and your lab-mates out of there.

> They do not coerce anyone by exercising that power, though.

It's muuuuuuuuch worse than that. They actually hire people (20000 if I trust my local media) to actually "clean" facebook. So it means that facebook defines what is socially acceptable and what is not. And, contrary to the law, the definition is not written, not shared. I'd prefer physical coercion (normally attributed to police) any time.

Definitely – services like Spotify or Apple Music make it easy to listen to the same top n tracks as everyone else but the lack of an effective training mechanism makes it really hard to break out of the recommendation loop and the cumbersome UI discourages attempting to find things yourself because everything is built on the assumption that the recommendation engine is worth using.

Since they’re widely used, there’s no room for local color or taste the way you used to have local reviewers, independent store clerks, etc. Everyone in the country gets the same thing.
And it wasn't until now that I got to that section of the timeline.
Is SubstrateVM part of this release ?
I think they're all deeply flawed, despite being great reading.

Neuromancer benefits from a neat underlying idea (an attempt to free an AI), but reading it today, it suffers from overly linear plotting. The "heist" story is made out of a clunky series of steps so the characters can collect McGuffins, and has the "gang" stay together just so the main character can be a passive spectator to it all. Plot points such as Case's relationship with Molly are not fleshed out enough to make much sense, and Case himself remains something of a cipher at the end; characters like Armitage are much more fleshed-out by comparison.

Count Zero, on the other hand, has more careful characterizations, and shows Gibson mature as a writer, but relies on the old sci-fi trope where multiple intertwined subplots slowly accelerate, then race towards a suspenseful climax in which everyone eventually comes together and realizes they're all part of the same mystery. I liked a lot of the parts, and Turner is certainly a lot more fleshed-out character than anyone in Neuromancer, but I always felt it was a bit scattered, and its conclusion, which should feel neat — AIs inhabiting the net and manipulating events from behind the scenes — feels flat, perhaps because the AIs' manipulation seems overall more mundane and less profound than what Gibson intended.

(I don't remember enough of Mona Lisa Overdrive to comment, which is perhaps telling.)

Gibson is a great prose writer who often conjures up terrific images of futurism, which is what ultimately saves some of his books from being terrible, but he also has a huge problem with plotting. Most of his stories follow a very specific formula, in which a mysterious something (usually an eccentric billionaire who's into art) hires a brilliant, no-nonsense loner to do something that turns out to involve shadowy, revolutionary tech, or some variation on this. As great a writer Gibson is, he is never able to hide the mechanics of his plotting, and as a reader, it's often jarring to see the writer show his cards so much.

I think my favourite work of his is still his early collection of short stories, Burning Chrome. It highlights his scintillating prose and wonderful ideas, but suffers from none of the awfulness of plotting.
The government will, and we won't entirely know but it'll be better than it is right now.
In my opinion yes. It will probably just save me a couple of clicks, but it's irritating, especially on mobile.
Uhm... this is a very serious accident by any standard.
I was in an emergency landing (complete with evacuation on the side without an engine fire) in 1990. We didn't have a catastrophic failure like this; there was time to prepare.

What really surprised me was how cooperative all the passengers were. In those days emergency rows were given to people who needed extra room, so the flight attendants told the elderly folks in the emergency rows to change seats and recruited youngsters like me (I was 25) to sit there and review how and if to open the window (I was the last-resort option and did not get to actually do it). They collected all our shoes and checked everybody's practice crash position. There was no screaming (except during the rather abrupt landing). And unlike what you see today nobody tried to take their cabin baggage with them (they'd told us to empty our pockets, though I was naughty and kept my passport, which later made life a lot easier for me).

One thing is unchanged: I was the first one to leave the arrival hall (this was pre-mobile phones so I wanted to find a phone and get a new flight rather than let the airline deal with it like everyone else did), and there was a camera crew there. I was asked "were you on that flight" and when I said yes they asked, "and how was it?" I said, "exciting but I felt safe the whole time" they switched off the camera, looked annoyed, and went back to watching the exit door. sigh.

And I really got a strong lesson in the real purpose of flight attendants.
It's specifically making the clinical decision I quote from the FDA press release, whether or not to refer to a specialist for further diagnosis.

I don't think it's about insecurity. I think it's that YT is usually consumed alone, and having someone with whom to share a reaction enhances the experience. For me, it's about emotional contagion: if others are laughing, you're going to laugh more, too. So, pile on top of this a charismatic personality that attracts people, and its entirely sensible you have commentators/reactors to video game streams or live streams, rather than just the base content which is devoid of social experience.
With the Twin Towers, the issue wasn't so much that they fell on top of other buildings (they didn't - you can see that on footage of them coming down), it's that when they hit the ground, the debris cloud billows out at high velocity and consists of projectiles that can structurally damage neighboring buildings. All that gravitational potential energy of the structure gets converted to kinetic energy as it collapses, and that kinetic energy is basically like a bomb going off at ground zero. When a bomb goes off near a building, the building is gonna have a bad time, even if it doesn't directly hit it.

> Sherman Antitrust Act

Broadly defined, in terms of economics. I don't see much discussion of Facebook with regards to "market competition". It's free to use, tough to argue that prices are being artificially inflated when there are none.

But I also don't doubt that antitrust suits are how legislators want to pursue action against Facebook.

EDIT: The justification I could see is that (1) advertising prices are being artificially inflated, which is tough given that many other tech companies compete for the same advertising dollars, and (2) that consumers aren't receiving fair compensation for their personal data, but even that doesn't seem like a good fit for anti-trust law.

> In my discussions in New York political circles, many see a Facebook antitrust case as a paved road to a Governorship

As a lifetime NYS and current NYC resident, I sure wont be basing my vote for governor on whether they take action against Facebook. I'd see it as an attempt to use the governor position as a stepping stone to federal government. This state has more pressing regional problems to deal with, in my opinion.
Even Dave Brandon couldn't kill 'em.
This is seriously huge. I wonder if it actually gets popular.

Can anyone comment on TruffleRuby ? What remains to be done for it to be production ready ? GraalVM page still mentions it's experimental.
Are you aware of the scale of failure here? The article (referring to the executive summary here) gives some really incredible figures. In psychology 100 reproducibility studies were only able to produce statistically significant results from 36% of prominent papers - compared to the 97% of the original studies. In biotech, a firm tried to reproduce 53 "landmark" studies in hematology and oncology - only 6 could be replicated.

The reason this is being called a 'crisis' is because it's looking like the vast majority of science, particularly in the social and human physiological sciences, is junk.
Thanks for sharing your experience, I'll steer clear and inform my friends to be weary.

What about domain owners like mysql who have no email attached to their domains? I only have two personal domains, but I have never had a need for an accounts to be associated with the domains nor do I think I would ever check it.

Perhaps have those two account DNS lookups always go through the registrar who then forwards to your account email? Even that doesn't seem very fool proof, though.

>Any sociology/economic/psychology research should be taken with a grain of salt.

So how is that not an example of "science going wrong"? Unless you are proposing that science is right by definition, or that governments should ignore most of the branches of science that are actually relevant to government.

There are plenty of branches of physics that are at least as speculative as sociology, economics and psychology (e.g. cosmology). The only difference is that these branches of physics have few political implications.
Easier said than done. The people who know where in meatspace they could expect to regularly meet people who share interests... tend to be the people who don't have loneliness problems.

I would say, you create an interest in SEO/SEM - become aware of the various types of things you can do, then start experimenting with incremental changes to the site you're trying to improve. Some changes takes hours, some weeks, the results - similarly - will show in weeks or months. (i.e. getting back-links is extremely tough and time consuming and the results aren't immediate, but once you're in..you have a tremendous boost in rank improvement)
Collapsing bridges take priority over temporary website outages.
There certainly is a crisis that social media and greedy online platforms (greedy for your time and ad dollars) prey upon. And yes the breakdown of social relationships with family, community and neighbors is certainly a big part of this. But consider historical factors in the USA. The breakdown of church - this was the de facto center of many communities for generations up until the post-vietnam era and the culture wars that have ensued. Combine this with the loss of farms - from more than 6 million in 1935 to roughly 2 million in 2012 - farms have gotten bigger. When agriculture dominated the rural economy having closer knit ties with neighbors was not so much a choice but a necessity. Also we are a country that embraced the idea of moving - be it from the city to the suburbs or the American South to the industrial American north. We have not done a very good job replacing those connections and it is breeding an epidemic of loneliness and addiction - not only to digital media but also to opiates. There is not an easy fix of course but folks should certainly consider the intrinsic value of these things before they decide to write off their family or community because of a difference of opinion or worldview. And another factor is that capital is increasingly accumulated at the top percent or 1/10th percent of earners. The folks in the middle and lower class find they have to work more to have a quality life than they did a generation or two ago. We are so busy working and driving to work and running our kids around that we barely have any time for friends and that is truly a shame.
As dark as it is, there is a difference between malnourished and a famine. With "a lot to loose", in a lot of cases its those peoples lives. Alot of them are malnourished now, but they stay to loose the little that is available.

My point being, there isnt a simple way out. There is no get rid of the president and everything will be fine. It will likely be worse of, even if just for a short while for a lot of people if major NGOs dont step in.
Tax preparation isn't seasonal. Some people and companies have to do taxes quarterly, not yearly. Some taxes (payroll, sales tax, use tax, etc... in some states) have to be done monthly.

There's also all the extensions that get filed each year.

Writing that "changed the world" isn't philosophy or worth reading for insight just because it changed the world. You can make that point with anything that sucks or isn't philosophy but "changed the world", Mein Kampf being one of them.

As for Godwin, as any discussion gets longer (infinitely), the probability of any comparison "approaches 1". That should net a few coins to buy ice cream, not minting a "law". Reading people like Erich Fromm, Arno Gruen, Sebastian Haffner, Hannah Arendt, I look around the world I live in, consider the cute idea that Nazi comparisons aren't allowed for a few moments, and move past it.

Strongly typed language with Python-esque syntax: http://strlen.com/lobster/
I agree that the article is oddly bifurcated. It starts with numerous statistics listed out in a laundry-list fashion. Then it proceeds into unfounded speculation with no statistical backing. The traditional and more effective argumentative approach is to make a Claim, then provide Evidence to support it, and Reasoning to tie them together logically. Here, the author starts with heaps of evidence, then moves into unrelated claims/reasoning. Lack luster writing, which I have come to expect from David Brooks, a writer who is so out of touch with the currents of mainstream America that he is forced to be some strawman Republican writing on a left-leaning NYC newspaper who few from either side agree with.

Time to replace him with a more skillful and adept opinion columnist.

The big deal with tools like LightTable is it's much easier for newcomers to start working on projects. I understand why a user wouldn't want to learn both a language and an editor.

Personally I'm a VIM guy, so I got it working there, but that's after I spent some time deep in Vimscript and fiddling with plugins.

On both Aloha 243 and United 811, it was the first-class cabin that broke apart. In both cases seatbelts kept passengers from being sucked out of their seats. Aloha 243 lost a flight attendant who wasn't buckled in... but United 811 lost two whole rows of first class seats, passengers and all. And at least one passenger was sucked into the engine. So maybe being behind the engine isn't so bad.

It's a common trope that the rear of the aircraft is safer, since it usually crashes nose-first. Back when the rear rows were the designated smoking section, one would always hear a few rounds of "smoking saved my life!" after a fatal plane crash.
