As I get older I just get more cranky and tired. The LHC returned a negative result for SUSY, it's time to stop and to just accept that. For heaven's sake, the moment MM started thinking the earth was dragging the ether they should have realized they should stop, and at least history could remember them more fondly.[0]

And we're getting to a point where philosophers are reconsidering Poppler's Criterion? It's time to stop. Every day these people continue publishing about SUSY is a day Young Earth Creationists and Climate Change Deniers can notch down as evidence in their favor.

[0] I think it actually isn't widely known that Michaelson and Morley didn't publish their experiment as evidence against a static ether and instead claimed it validated the "ether dragging" hypothesis.
I think blaming the douchebag with a hummer is focusing on the wrong part of the problem.

There are factories right now polluting the environment with CFC, which you might remember as being a. the cause of the hole in the Ozone layer, and b. forbidden. Whomever approved this awful idea will likely get no sanction, amd yet they'll cause way more damage than a guy with a hummer will do in their lifetime.

Just like the ban on plastic straws, focusing on those things that are moderately bad while ignoring those that are ridiculously, catastrophically bad is a wasted effort. Unfortunately we created institutions to deal with those issues, and they have no interest in doing their jobs. That, I believe, is where the anger should be focused on.

You like CMake in much the same way people like Visual Basic: it has lots and lots of features and therefore people find it useful.

But, just like VB isn't a good solution for an embedded language, it doesn't mean cmake is a good solution to the general problem of building large codebases.

But the truth is, that makes Harry Potter and Game of Thrones much more of a "classic" than Shakespeare.

Shared cultural context is something I believe we're losing anyway, or at least it's not scaling well with population size and civilization - these days they're just so many books being published, along with movies and TV series, that it's increasingly difficult to find things you've both read/watched with random people. Schools in a given country are forcing the same set of literature on people partly in order to ensure a shared cultural context, but as we all know (and as is discussed elsewhere in this comment thread), this only makes people know the titles but not read the books themselves.
I’m not sure but I think since angular momentum is conserved, and angular velocity remains constant at all distances to Earth’s center here, then there will not be any lateral forces due to Earth’s rotation about its own axis.
It seems like a lot of comments are debating the relative merits of which solution will work, whether this is the right solution, pointing out this doesn’t address the entire problem et al.

What about AND?

work on reducing plastic waste AND try to get it out of the water. Deploy this solution, try it AND iterate on it. Do this AND the next idea AND the next. Keep trying things until you find the right solution.

It seems to me that this project does a lot more good than harm, even if it doesn’t work, it paves the way for solutions that might.

The amount of naysaying and nitpicking here is depressing. Is it perfect? No. Does it address every problem? No. Is it a start? Yes.

How many times has the right solution been the first thing someone tried? Rarely. But you keep trying stuff until you find something that works.

At least this guy is DOING something rather than endlessly debating how to fix it.

It’s easy to be an armchair engineer saying you could dream up 10 better solutions. Well great, go do it then.

Props to this kid and his organization for taking action on a problem to try and do some good in the world.

Thanks, that was what I was hinting at, without providing details. Fin Tech companies have also, in the recent times, fought in the Supreme Court for the biometric based resident ID scheme called Aadhaar because they stand to benefit from tracking people and their transactions. ISPs in India have also shown that any John Doe orders to block several sites are implemented without any questions whatsoever. Indian companies, in my knowledge, do obey government orders without question (as long as it doesn't affect their profits too much) than foreign companies would. We have seen the resistance from others, like with Blackberry being asked to provide interception by the Indian government several years ago and other instances (like the recent instance of WhatsApp being asked to control the spread of fake news and allow the tapping of conversations).

> I'd imagine, providing Google doesn't get too much negative feedback from it's upcoming censored China search engine, they'll likely make a censored version for India if they see it as a big enough market. Hey presto, the worst of both worlds!

Governments, companies, NGOs, etc. are all just collections of people. At the end of the day, I do think the issue is that we’re fundamentally selfish creatures, only able to really make decisions for the good of ourselves, or maybe also a few close friends/family members.

We understand that we’re destroying the planet, but we figure, why should I consume less, if others might not limit their consumption the same way? It seems that we’re incapable of making decisions that prioritize the welfare of the human race. I do think that apocalyptic sci-fi is probably right - on the scale of 100s to 1000s of years, we’ll likely drive ourselves to extinction, or something near extinction. The tragedy of the commons seems like an unavoidable consequence of the way we think, and I don’t see us getting past it.

Loved the 6th video - How, when and who of sales. I was pleasantly surprised how the generic advice to find a corporate sales guy to lead your early stage startup sales is so ineffective.

A similar analogy to engineering also applies I guess. One who functions well in a corporate engineering department - with a ton of support might not do well in an early stage startup and vice versa.

Hi Chaitanya,

That's quite an interesting project you have. Unfortunately probably not really relevant to my use case since two skills are necessary:

1. (good) control of the native language (not english)
2. Understanding and experience at the subject field

I don't want to give too many details but the workflow basically consists of taking a poorly labeled entry and expanding/filling out the missing fields. To do this you both need to speak the language and have some experience in the field.

As for the data anomaly detection I don't do any data annotation

Anyways, sorry it's not really relevant to my case but good luck, I think it's a great project that certainly has a lot of potential. Maybe in a future stage you might be interested with partnering up with a platform like coursera to form your workers to do slightly more complex data annotation jobs (like mine).

Regards
Not GP. Having worked in a number of countries and having managed people from many tens of countries, I do think there is a pretty strong cultural bias around competitiveness/ambition and the degree to which it is considered good form to show it. (Of course, any individual can behave and feel vastly differently from any cultural stereotypes!)

So for example, just because this sort of thing works reasonably well for a Scandinavian country wouldn't mean it would necessarily work well in, say, California.
OK, maybe centuries, to get back to ~1950 or whatever. What I meant was decades of stuff getting worse, pretty much no matter what we do.
Not that I particularly care to start yet another meaningless bikeshedding argument about 0 vs 1 indexing but... I think that a proper high level language should have arrays that start at 1.

It's only because of C and many programmers' weird tendency to take to heart statements from authority (Dijkstra) without any criticism that the 0-index meme is so popular now. 0-index is useful because it makes pointer arithmetic useful while pointer arithmetic is not often used in high level languages. 0-index is for offsets not counting. Vast majority of people use 1-index for counting. People who say everyone should use 0-index for counting sound really really silly to me (and frankly the vast majority of people; it's only because this meme is so popular in the programming world that they can somewhat get away with making this statement).
Chinese tech is thriving but the overall economy is showing alarming signs of a massive slowdown and possible recession. Too much central planning, banks with bad balance sheets, and over extending into huge foreign infrastructure projects are placing an incredible amount of stress on the Chinese economy.

What's an "interface"? Obviously "file" is also just an abstraction but it has familiar semantics (read, write etc).

From cursory reading it seems that an interface is just a specification for (remote) procedure calls. Also reminds me of microkernel IDLs https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/idl.html
How to know how many pepole build/run your GitHub project?
I am hoping for the same. But yhe thing is that gas and oil are stored in big underground "warehouses" and the owners just have to open the valve to be profitable. They may just undercut any competition and drive it out of business.
I'm amused to see GitHub thought of as self-publishing. It is nothing of the kind. It's someone else's platform granting you an instantly revocable right to use their facilities, no - or just a few thousand - strings attached.
In principle no different from Facebook and Twitter and all the other shoddy complimentary crap.
I’m afraid I don’t. This was in fact why I stopped hosting a mail server for friends, way back when. I realised that if most of them put their gmail address in ~/.forward, any spam they received on their account on my domain, gmail would count towards my domain / ip instead of the original sender. This is a fundamental flaw with current email implementations; there is no equivalent to something like the “trusted downstream proxies” list.[1]

I always wondered why gmail wouldn’t have a (per account) setting to say: “I am forwarding mail from this host / domain / address”, with corresponding trust of Received: headers chain. If I could then add a header in forwarded mails requiring that to be set, somehow, then we could avoid this SPF / DMARC problem entirely. The fundamentals are there (received: headers and DKIM). All we need is some last mile config :(

But it would promote decentralisation, so I’m not holding my breath.

> And in the end nothing happened

That's nonsense. Demonetization was a contributing factor in the following:

* Increase in tax-payers

* Increase in E-filling

* Removal of fake currency

* Crushing of Real-estate black market

* Removal of shell companies

* Decrease in funding of Naxalites and Kashmiri separatists

Demo failed because the government didn't have a clear objective in the first place. Later they started shifting goal-posts to prove it as a success. However, saying that it acheived nothing is ignorance at best.

> People died

This is again nonsense. People are still dying in India due to the negligence of hospitals, civic officials etc. Blaming this on Demonetization doesn't make sense.

Demonetization deserves to be criticized but the criticism should be objective and not just a mere reflection of opposition propaganda.

Hmm... really surprised at all the responses, chill guys it's just a comment! Ok, for those who are throwing stereotypes around, here is a bit to chew on

1. I am from Tamilnadu, a southern state in India. A proud Tamil Indian from a middle class background. My father was a govt. employee and is a staunch anti Modi :-) oh also I am not a Tam.Bhram.

2. Modi wave is not a fact in Tamilnadu, similar to other southern states. I think it is difficult for any Hindi speaker to truly gain support. Arghh! Hindi! ;-)

3. I studied in a Christian Society of India school, am a Hindu but I know the difference between serving as a Christian and selling Christianity for money

4. I successfully exited my startup with 5x returns for my investors. As a startup founder I first hand experienced the govt. machinery and can vouch that being an entrepreneur in India is still difficult even after many reforms.

5. However 2 yrs back, the IT dept actually refunded me for 15lakhs without any follow up or bribe, the cheque actually came by mail, can you believe! The govt is putting all efforts to make the system non personal and digitized which has a huge effect on bribes. Bribes thrive where there is subjectivity and misinformation, automate it and you have bribe gasping for air.

So that's it, sorry for disappointing your stereotype assumption on me.
"amount of pieces" is a terrible way to measure garbage though.

I helped develop SPF, and created what may still be the "largest" SPF record (eBay.com and PayPal.com). That being said, the author is mostly right. You shouldn't reject email that fails SPF.

BUT, there is a use for SPF. You add it as a factor in your spam filter. Deduct points for an SPF failure, or make it an aspect among many in your filters. It's still a useful way for one org to tell another org, "here are the IPs you should expect mail to come from".

> And having the source open and reviewable does not help with that? The problem with depending on is - this might not be apparent in a short term - is that it allows foreign control over the matters here.

The Indian government is in no mood to keep anything open and reviewable, or open to take feedback on. Look at all the data leaks because of Aadhaar and its linkages with various things. There is no openness or even admission of gaps. So I don't see this attitude changing in the near future, even if the parties ruling the country change in the coming years. Please look at the data leaks due to Aadhaar linkage and the responses from UIDAI and the state government arms so far.

> Basically what you are asking is something like asking to be ruled by a foreign power. Because local rulers might pushed around easily by pushed around by local corruption and influence.

> Basically there is potential for oppression either way. Do you prefer it to be by your own people or foreign powers?

I'll answer these together. Based on all the data leaks seen, how poorly government websites and data stores are managed, how government officials respond to security issues with denial first (and filing cases against security researchers for responsible disclosure), and how government officials also routinely use Gmail for communications, my guess is that any data that a technology strong country like the U.S. or China desires is already in their hands or is just an arm's reach away. So my concern with the internal powers having more control is very much valid and upsetting for me, more so when local corporates are also interested in tracking and profiling people, building things with a lot of sensitive data that can be easily demanded and obtained by the government.

> Governments used to have this kind of authority / determination.

I think the root cause of our climate change problems (and environmental destruction in general) goes deeper, and though it could be addressed by governments taking firm action, this will not happen: I think our economic systems are failing us, and are the real root cause.

And this is a problem that is still not recognized fully, or actively denied. And it is a problem that governments and politicians are increasingly less able to address, as their power wanes in favour of corporate interests.

That global warming is man made and likely to produce catastrophic results, seems well documented now. (possibly 10s or 100s of millions of deaths over the next 200 years, along with a number of species going extinct).

But any claims of cataclysmic outcomes (collapse of most civilizations or even extinction) seems unlikely, as far as I can tell. There are other possible events that are much more likely to produce that kind of results.

Here is my list of fears:
1. Runaway AI (>40% over the next 200 years)
2. Nuclear War (>20% over the next 200 years)
3. Runaway nanotech
4. Runaway biotech
5. Runaway, cataclysmic global warming effects (full ecosystem collapse, ice age triggered, >5 degree warming, etc)

I think this is a major part of the problem. Kids need their freedom, out of parents' sight.

I was thinking about my youth the other day. Back then (around 2005) in Germany we had youth clubs ("Jugendclubs"). A shared space where the local youth would come together almost daily - in many places these youth clubs where supervised by a someone best described as a municipal social worker, who would open and close the place at specific times. However the youth in my town was lucky enough to have a youth club without supervision, apart from the occassional visit by a municipal offical. A safe space away from parental oversight, open to anyone, but in practice resulted in a large group of tightly knit boys and girls between 16 and early 20s.

We met daily, had discussions, parties, started DJ'ing, had to keep the place clean, TV, gaming, BBQs, drinking, you name it - where there problems from time to time? Sure. To much noise, the occassional drunk. However there was a lot of responsibility involved as we had to solve any issues with neighbors and municipal officials ourselves, we had to keep the place in shape, do chores around the house/garden, renovate from time to time, had to gather and prepare wood for the winter (the place was heated by an oven/chimney).

I understand that we were lucky with this rather generous, liberal arrangement, but I guess it would be unthinkable today, and I simply don't see the local youth meeting at alternative spots, like public areas.
CMake replaces `configure` scripts. It would be difficult to imagine what multi-architecture support in a single build directory / command-line invocation would look like.

Instead, what we do is to wrap calls to CMake in a script that makes choices about build directories, which flavours to build by default, which mobile SDKs exist, etc. When producing a release, we notably don't use this, because we are precisely interested in building for each architecture in parallel on different machines.
