Well, it still has a higher chance of being alive than other common alternatives. From my experience, any url put in a CS paper has a very high risk of being dead just a few years after publication. It seems that once the research grant has run out and the researchers have moved on, noone takes on the responsibility of ensuring that the web page is kept alive. Domains and hosting plans are not renewed; universities reorganize their departments and don't map the old URLs to the new ones; or policies change, and personal department hosted web pages for researchers are closed. The solution has to be some kind of independent library service for researchers, like arxiv for data/source code, which is guaranteed to be kept alive.
In practice, the pointers are the authors.

In Computer Science, it’s a mess that works fine in practice. I go to GitHub - if it’s not there, then I google the authors or the name of the project. And I don’t know what I do if I don’t find any of them or their projects, because I’ve never encountered that scenario.

I’ve never seen a paper more than say 10 years old and thought “god I wish I had their code/data” because CS moves at a rapid speed. Important stuff is preserved because other people build on it. For example, it becomes the basis of an open source project.

Whilst from a rigorous and idealistic point of view, we want central long term data storage, in practice right now the real problem is that _many scientists do not make their data and code available in any form at all_ rather than worrying about pointers decaying.

Bird's book value is nowhere near a billion dollars, though. And putting a billion dollars together (to whatever approximation startup valuations can be considered "value") is pretty impressive no matter how you do it -- pile of gold or otherwise.
> Web IDEs in general are a great concept though, mostly because developers generally love having their editor customized the way they like it, and from there, having it in the cloud accessible from any computer is a huge win. That being said, it's hard to compete against the plugin model that Sublime/Atom/VSCode have.

I've tried Cloud9, and found that the plugin issue was a killer. If a Web-based IDE can't use an existing ecosystem of add-ons then the developers have to implement linters, debuggers etc. for every language, as well as things like build tool support and version control integration. For this reason, Cloud9 doesn't actually have the functionality of an IDE or a programmer text editor, and I could not imagine asking professional developers to adopt it as their primary environment: it is closer to Notepad++ than VS Code.

Seeing this published on Nature's website is quite thick with irony. They have profited greatly from locking up access to academic papers in their most prestigious journals.

The article includes the following tweet:

“Open Science is not compatible with one corporation owning the platform used to collaborate on code. I hope that expert coders in #openscience have a viable alternative to #github,” tweeted Tom Johnstone, a cognitive neuroscientist at the University of Reading, UK.

Github's current position is to be default open with a paid option for private. Nature's default position was to lock up journal articles and sell them for extortionate prices.

It's surprising to see them post an article noting that scientists feel MS will change that for the worse. They have been good participants in the open source community of late specially under Mr. Nadella's leadership.

Still, consider Codeplex, which isn’t around anymore.

It should not be complicated to move the repository somewhere where a search engine query with "mylabname/project" would find it.

As a side note, it would be nice to see scientists stop using git for dataset management. There are alternatives that are considerably better adapted to managing data.

Yeah, see Netflix for an example of this -- they leave their product "lying around" and people are plenty happy to pay for the convenience of getting it legitimately because it's so low friction, because it just works all the time and it's cheap enough.
Let me approach this from another angle. Excel, effectively, is 'programming for non-programmers'. And many of the accountants using it don't even realise that what they're doing is programming. So what? It works for them, helps them do their job. Maybe in the future we create neural code interfaces that let us express our code in an abstract symbolic way instead of as a sequence of characters, and we think back on textual code input in a similar way. Obviously the relationship isn't quite the same, but there's definitely a parallel. Some people can write good code and understand it, others can't, same with any platform. So what?

Is this not the problem with any programming language? It's turing-complete, yet you find something you can't do (I mean, brainfuck is turing-complete, but try implementing a closure in it), you complain to the maintainers, they say it doesn't fit the design criteria. Sure, you might be more likely to fit those limits earlier in a visual code design tool, but that's not a fundamental design limitation, just an implementation one.
I'm less familiar with math testing in general, but as far as direct effects go (not something caused by language of instruction) my guess is that it would be limited to instructions and word problems.

Make the penalties for such discrimination large enough that, even when factoring in the uncertainty that they will be applied in each case, they outweigh any conceivable benefit.

Interesting. Thanks for providing that additional viewpoint.

I always assumed there are racial disadvantage for an Asian male applicant, but it seems to be worse than I thought.

> Race plays a significant role in admissions decisions. Consider the example of an Asian-American applicant who is male, is not disadvantaged,3 and has other characteristics that result in a 25% chance of admission. Simply changing the race of this applicant to white—and leaving all his other
characteristics the same—would increase his chance of admission to 36%. Changing his race to Hispanic (and leaving all other characteristics the same) would increase his chance of admission to 77%. Changing his race to African American
(again, leaving all other characteristics the same) would increase his chance of admission to 95%.
same deal in canada although for doctors and lawyers the bamboo ceiling is real...
There's an article in the NYT about this story. Here are key quotes:

Alumni interviewers give Asian-Americans personal ratings comparable to those of whites. But the admissions office gives them the worst scores of any racial group, often without even meeting them, according to Professor Arcidiacono.

and then

At the end of the admissions process, the class of applicants is fine-tuned through a so-called “lop list,” which includes race. Almost the entire page in which the plaintiffs describe that fine-tuning has been blacked out. Mr. Blum, the founder of Students for Fair Admissions, said Friday that it was “disreputable” of Harvard to complain that information was being taken out of context while at the same time insisting on significant redactions of the evidence.

As someone who runs a company coaching software engineers on landing employment, I've worked with a number of engineers who have gone down the path of running their own business or consultancy for sometime before deciding to turn towards employment in a larger corporation. Personally, I've found many of these engineers to have some of the most interesting and compelling stories and projects to add to their resume and speak to while interviewing, and in that sense believe that coming from having your own business can add greatly to being successful in the job search. That said, I do not think that is the only path towards landing a job, and in this case especially if you already have experience as a software developer.

In my opinion reflection is key to understanding where roadblocks lie in terms of why one is not finding employment, even more so as most companies almost universally do not provide feedback (another topic...). In terms of "not surviving" in the job market, I'd ask where are you running into roadblocks, is it getting interviews, moving past recruiters, the technical screens, onsites, and within those categories diving more into why those opportunities did not materialize and what potential actions led to those outcomes.

Might this unfairly subsidise companies paying higher salaries? So Google and their employees would get more money from the government to support their pregnant employees than Joes Pizza Company? Why?

Companies that pay higher salaries by their choice incur higher payroll costs. That’s just how that works. Trying to engineer the system to even that out somehow is just introducing bureaucracy and costs into the system. The only case I do have concerns about is small employers who by chance might get hit with the costs of a large proportion of their staff taking maternity/paternity leave at the same time. That could be crippling and possibly there should be some special programme to help those companies out.

> it actually isn't a biological reality that the woman is away from work for longer. What's actually happening is that the man isn't expected to be away as long as the woman, so he doesn't take as much leave. It's a form of discrimination to make it the woman's problem because she's the one laid up in the hospital.

That's not completely correct when you factor in breastfeeding. Nowadays we do have the ability to overcome this with pumping, but if the parents decide they want to only breastfeed their baby naturally, without a bottle, this pretty much requires the mother to be with the baby for at least a few months.

This is a pretty common choice and situation for various reasons.
You mean the effects of the negative manifestation of certain behaviours. So you are saying that my logical leap, that because there is "toxic masculinity" ( which is a gross simplification obviously) that a counterpart to that in the feminine side, is something I just made up.

I usually make statements drawing from observed behaviour and interactions. And I can't deny that if we look on a spectrum of behaviour, and on one side we have masculinity on the other we have femininity. If we go all the way to the left to the masculine side, there are behaviours there that are what the media says "toxic". But if we go on the otherside of the spectrum, to the extreme, and say that yeah, things are just rosy on the other side, we are doing a great disservice to the truth.
Because the white people who take issue with actually verifiable discrimination against Asians, purely on the basis of their race, have so much to personally gain from speaking out against it. Your world view is so unbelievably flawed.

Not at all, only for the top schools. I got into 2 of my state schools (1 of which is also being sued for this) and I was a very average student (#2 in class, 1500/1600, 66 college credits).

You only need a fancy resume if you apply to the T20 schools, some of which are more selective if you’re from out of state.

It's people like Tim Draper that encouraged the fraud. From a totally logical point of view:

1. How do you invest millions in technology you cannot even look at even in year 10?

2. How do you defend a CEO in public by attacking credible journalists and not even once question the actual concerns in the company?

3. A medical company run by a first year drop-out and one without a single licensed doctor on the board?

C'mon. Even Steve Jobs did not get that leeway.

I also received a very similar letter in an email. I had an article on my site from several years ago about how to block referral spam, and Semalt was one of the sites I listed. I've deleted the article but did not reply to the email.

I feel a bit bad that I deleted the article as everything in it was truthful and helpful to people looking for that info. However, I don't want to get into a legal fight (although that's probably unlikely).

The only thing I can think of that I could possibly be in trouble for legally is that I called these sites referrer spam and ghost spam. However, so have a thousand other sites and what they did really seems to fit the definition of that exactly.

I read online that these sort of letters are supposed to be delivered by mail, not electronically. Additionally, I wonder about the statute of limitations is on this.

Anybody have any free, anonymous legal advice?
So should jail sentences be done the same way? If I am in jail 10 days, I lose a hell of a lot more money than some bum spending the same 10 days. So the cost of jail is much greater to me on a per day basis. This “based on wealth” concept is fine, assuming that also applies to jail sentences. We can’t expect an egalitarian scheme for fines if we neglect the same consideration for jail. Assuming our goal is inflicting pain proportionally. But people wouldn’t like a rich CEO spending a day in jail and a cab driver spending 25 years in jail for the same crime — even though the relative financial costs would be similar in terms of opportunity cost. Should a CEO pay $100,000 for a drivers license?

This leads down a very slippery slope.

Is there really an epidemic of rich people committing crimes at a higher rate than the non-rich? It doesn’t seem like criminality rates are higher among the rich, thus the premise that rich people should have a larger deterrent doesn’t seem to have much support in terms of evidence.
5 Marketing Mistakes That Could Destroy Your Startup
> The tragedy of the commons is a term used in social science to describe a situation in a shared-resource system where individual users acting independently according to their own self-interest behave contrary to the common good of all users by depleting or spoiling that resource through their collective action.

The Ivy League is a resource shared by both the commons and the elites. The belief stated at the end of my comment, that collective action taken to make Harvard more inclusive will inevitably strip it and all the other Ivy League schools of its vitality, will spoil that resource, forcing the elites to stop sending their kids there and snuffing the Ivy League's social ladder aspect out of existence.

That's a classic case of a tragedy of the commons. It's both a tragedy, in that nobody wanted that outcome, and it's driven by the collective action of the commons.
Empowering users with Machine Learning, i.e. offering simple powerful ML based filtering tools for the Twitter user.

More importantly allow opt out and configuration of stuffing feeds with politics and liked by those I follow.

But the idea is not to empower users but masticate users to provide more 'value' to Advertisers by selling them 21stC version of 'hits' - the false & forced engagement metric.

This all stems from the mentality that Twitter are serving the money not the user.

It is short-termism.

Hopefully crap-stuffing users will allowing the resurgence of a diverse market that necessitates open standards unlike our current hyper monopolies and their data silos.
