Because as someone with experience in UI/UX for the common man, I dislike the way many geeks present technical solutions that are out of reach to those people.

These kind of solutions is one of the reasons why desktop Linux never really took off, rather Android, ChromeOS, Tizen and such, where the presence of the Linux kernel is a mere implementation detail, as it could be changed by any other POSIX like kernel without any difference on the user experience.

We should strive for solutions that work for everyone, not the tiny percentage of proactive, technically competent users that know about HN and XDA.
But if this process like most things has diminishing returns, then wouldn't after a while government use up all the "easy wins", leaving only things to do that have a mix of good benefits and bad side effects. And once the best of these things were done, the remaining options would be more and more "bad side effects" and less and less "good benefits".
I don't think it's a good comparison, because those genetic disorders are usually single gene mutations, and much rarer than homosexuality. In many cases we know the exact enzyme that's broken and how it causes the disease. In the case of homosexuality, there are genetic markers that are statistically associated with it, but no clear proof of genetic causation. The genetic aspect could be indirect, by changing susceptibility to environmental factors.

With some IDE skill, this is easy in Java, but then developers get used to this way of developing caused in no small part because of the language and think that features of the language (like static types) enable and entail the IDE features (auto-refactoring, intellisense, code generation), rather than the IDE features being developed partly in response to the limitations of the language.

Dynamic languages often have a tooling problem, at least from the perspective of Java developers, but often you don't even need those heavy IDE features to get equivalent or better work done and so tooling suffers or isn't evangelized much. A coworker complained he can't just find callers of a JS function (unless within the same JS file) with eclipse; I pointed out that vim trivially does this after generating ctags and demoed it... Still, in lots of code bases that aren't in Java, I find myself needing to know "who calls this" not as often. Besides, old school find | xargs grep or ag work to find that info usually too. Even better, if it's a Web Service name, a string-based tool will find the usages on both the client in JS and on the server in not-JS.

Meanwhile there have been dynamic languages like Common Lisp that have IDE features like debugging built-in to the standard language itself, there are strong types that implementations can and do use to produce optimized machine code (not just correctness -- and you can verify an optimization with 'DISASSEMBLE, another standard function), modern implementations like SBCL have at-compile-time warnings for type issues or typos or whatever, and ancient tooling (slime) has things to tell you who-called-what, etc.

Machinarium 2.2.9 Registration Key with Crack
I know it sounds counter intuitive, but I’m not necessarily saying Walmart needs to pay its workers more, but singling our Walmart, yes, they should have to reimburse the government.

How can one not single out Walmart when more Walmart employees get food stamps than any other company, walmart directly receives $14B in revenue of this taxpayer money, and Walmart lobbies to keep these laws in place (and writes them).

The average joe minimum wage worker doesn’t have a level playing field and is less likely to successfully lobby the government to up minimum wage as Walmart is successful in lobbying to increase SNAP benefits in a given year.

It’s not a minimum wage issue it’s that Walmart is the beneficiary of taxpayer money ($14B/year) not to mention the indirect benefit of taxpayers having to subsidize the Walmart workforce (which other companies don’t necessarily receive period)
That's true, especially for physical products.

Yes, I know the details, no I never remember them when it happens to me ;)
As a Chinese I have to say simply number is totally meaningless. China's research is still closely connected with government behavior and all of the top universities are founded and managed by the government. A few top universities are actually government departments. In China the only way to get more salary and promotion in title is too give as much as papers as one can. Thus a considerable amount of them are totally rubbish which was published only for appraise and competition.

The point of this motorcycle is to take over if it spots a potential crash scenario. This kind of passive system is the perfect kind of system for cars as well as motorcycles.

Self-driving systems are great for alertness/response time, where as humans are better at vision. So having the self-driving systems take over if the human misses something / becomes unwell is the perfect kind of human augmentation.

This is opposed to the Autopilot style, where the car uses it's poorer vision and the human uses their poorer alertness skills to take over if needed.

I can -- leaks seem to be becoming the norm rather than the exception. The company has seemingly gotten too large for the remarkably open culture we had when I joined.

As a Canadian I don't have a strong opinion on the content of this video, though I remember the event. But I do have a strong opinion about leaks/leakers.

It's not that I want what we do to be 'secret' -- it's that I want an internal work culture that is open and I want to know what's going on across the company and have issues discussed out in the open.

Finally, no I am not surprised people leak even with risk of termination. There's lots of jobs in the valley for people to switch to.

A telling quote:

"I agree with Martin Shkreli that when he raised the price of his drug he was within his rights because he had to reward his shareholders... If he's the only one selling it then he can make as much money as he can... We have to make money when we can. The price of iPhones goes up, the price of cars goes up, hotel rooms are very expensive."
Not necessarily pertinent here.

Think of it this way: If bigamy was legal, you would still want to at least know if you were the only spouse or one of several. A lack of reliable and readily accessible records makes deception all too easy.

Marriage is a contract. Agreeing to a mutually exclusive arrangement only to find out it isn't is a problem, even if you don't think polygamy should be illegal.

I don't know what percentage of the time bigamists are deceiving their spouses and married to someone else "behind their back," but that's certainly a version of events that happens and it makes everyone involved pretty unhappy to find out they aren't the only one.

This is typically done by someone who travels for work. It was much easier to pull off before our current state of global communications.

Meta: The original title is much better ("Musical sensor shows bad medicine plays false note").

The submitted title is using "literally" in the inverse meaning ("figuratively"), which is very confusing.

The described sensor (it's just a single design, not multiple that as the submitted title suggests) has sound as its output, and detects changes in density by changing the pitch of the tone generated. This is not music, and the sensor itself is not music (which would be the proper meaning of "literally" here).

Or maybe I'm just old and stupid (and, of course, a non-native speaker at that) to find this annoying.
Google has vast numbers of minority and immigrant employees, do you expect them to have no opinion when their own employees are afraid of the government discriminating against them?

This isn't political bias against conservative economic ideas, or even classic social conservatism, this is bias against racism and bigotry. And were they wrong? Two years later, everything people had been worrying about in this TGIF got worse.

Every few weeks some new dog whistle is blown.

There are some things which are just wrong, that if you're not a coward, you take a stand against. I hope any congressional testimony over this is combative, not milquetoast PR speak. Rather than spin, come right out and say: the company's values stand against racism and bigotry, and if Ted Cruz melts like a snowflake over it, so be it.
An interesting comment I saw today on twitter[0] points out that open source development is more of a development style than a business model. Still, styles can impact the bottom line. Enterprises can gain some efficiency in process (and hiring, as others point out -- working in NIH land without amazing tooling and products to keep you there sucks if you have an inkling of what's widely done and used outside in the open source worlds) by using the model even if they are the only consumers of the final project. You also open yourself up to including other useful open source software, depending on licenses.

The paper explains,

According to this maternal immune hypothesis, cells (or cell fragments) from male fetuses enter the maternal circulation during childbirth or perhaps earlier in pregnancy. These cells include substances that occur only on the surfaces of male cells, primarily male brain cells. The mother’s immune system recognizes these male-specific molecules as foreign and produces antibodies to them. When the mother later becomes pregnant with another male fetus, her antibodies cross the placental barrier and enter the fetal brain. Once in the brain, these antibodies bind to male-specific molecules on the surface of neurons. This prevents these neurons from‘‘wiring-up’’in the male-typical pattern, so that the individual will later be attracted to men rather than women.

You describe two separate items (that can build off each other, but are separate): - Not releasing as fast as you'd like
- Bad schedule estimation/deadline setting

As with anything you want to change, you have to make the case that your idea is better for the business. What is the business value in pushing a feature to production today rather than letting it sit on the shelf until all stakeholders are satisfied it's ready? In the beginning you're scrambling to have a product online at all. Now that you have some users, how quickly do they need those new features? And how well do they respond to churn and/or half-baked implementations? Is not having those features costing you potential new customers? Answer these questions to yourself, honestly, and you'll have the beginnings of a case you can present for what turnaround time should be.

If you want to push back on scheduling, you have to get better at time estimates than the person setting the schedule. How are the changes to process causing more developer time to be spent? How do they impact wall-clock time to deployment? Once you know that, you can say "This timeline covers a preliminary implementation, but doesn't include time for PM review or iterating on that feedback, here's why..."

Frankly, you seem more concerned with your particular taste in release cadence than building a product.
Depends on what Republicans you're talking about, the classic Buckley, Jack Kemp, Milton Friedman style of conservative, who you can have intellectual disagreements over economic policy about, or today's nationalist, xenophobic, cult-of-personality Republicans, which I'd call Trumplicans, who have abandoned everything classical liberals stood for (free trade, immigration, against crony capitalism) and now actively enable an administration that literally threatens to intervene in markets and pick winners or create losers.
