If you liked American Prometheus (which I agree is fantastic), have you read Richard Rhodes' The Making of the Atomic Bomb [1]? It's absolutely superb. It covers quite a lot of Oppenheimer's career, although the sequel, Dark Sun: The Making Of The Hydrogen Bomb, goes into more detail, not just Oppenheimer's famous trial, but also his family life and his lesser-known political work in helping form the Atomic Energy Commission.

This is pretty cool, I could see it being used mainly when your thread gets pretty filled up.

It might be hard the catch the users that could benefit from it at the right time, no?

Because given how GUI frameworks are implemented, one needs to add explicit workarounds to follow "only write code for which there is a failing test".

After all, writing the test needs to be possible, to start with.

So adapters, views, commands and what have you need to exist only to fulfill such purpose, and even then, their interactions with the GUI layer don't get tested.

So one is creating them, without knowing if they are the right elements for the GUI layout.

Hence why testing, 100% behind it, TDD not so much.
Hadron colliders make surprisingly bad precision measurement machines. All that crap creates a lot of background, which makes doing the fine work very challenging.

Now a lower energy lepton-lepton machine, like the proposed ILC, would be good for just those sort of measurements.
>>> Does it seem to anyone else that they have conflated "civilization" and "political entity" for lack of a better term?

They even got that wrong. The Roman Republic, the Roman Empire and the Byzantine Empire are the same political entity.

Arguably the Ottoman Empire was as well, since the Ottomans basically left the Byzantine bureaucracy intact. The Sultan even used the title Caesar and declared himself protector of the Eastern church.
And now, good ol’ western civilization experiences regression to the mean.
Amazing choice of typography and design!

I call bullshit.

As a kid who grew up in the 1980s and suffered through endless funerals and stuff, I also observed that any time a research lab was nearly out of funds, they'd send out a press release claiming something that sounded important, but wasn't. The local congress person would find funds to keep the research group going and "save the day".

The research that was "saved" was usually an impressive-sounding tidbit that wasn't really impressive. "Kills HIV in the test-tube" became a red flag for me... that was always an indicator something fishy was going on. HIV is easy to kill. oxygen kills it. Sadly, you can't pump pure oxygen into the blood or the patient dies. Killing HIV in a testtube was the experiment you did to get PR and more funding.

One person "cured" is an anecdote, not a breakthrough. Occasionally people's bodies cure themselves. After 12 years of trying someone was "cured"? I'll believe it when I see it done in a repeatable way.

Sorry for being such a downer. I've had my heart broken too many times.
That's some pretty amazing numbers for one week! I wonder how it affected Apple Music with cancellations.

It is interesting that Spotify is $1.68 in India.
While I agree with the point you're trying to make, I don't think that's a provocative statement for the rest of the world (or even all of the people living in Western Europe and the US), especially now as increased communication and analytic tools help us to better understand the ways in which massive transfers of wealth are still happening from the rest of the "postcolonial" world.

I suppose an argument could be made that it was built on hard work and ingenuity in much the same way that you can say politicians really are better at something than everyone else. It's just not necessarily the thing you'd want them to be good at. In this case, that would be that the powers we're talking about made some incredible innovations in terms of colonialism and internal methods of quelling the dissent of the aforementioned cheap (or enslaved) labor.

Of course, it's not at all clear to me that this hasn't been the case for every single past (or emerging) empire. But the "self-made civilization" is maybe even more ridiculous a concept than the "self-made man".
I don't think a King George Washington would preside over a young America as affluent as President George Washington did. Tyranny has a way of sequestering innovative spirit.
The Chinese government keeps camps of Falun Gong to harvest organs from. The fact that their religion is problematic is not even close to relevant in the face of their oppression.
I can speak to the Vedic dates. Those are contested but only due to their novelty, meaning they are MUCH older than what western media gives them credit for. And the Vedic civilization exists to this day in India as Sanatana Dharma followers or as the ancient Greeks & the modern Western world calls it - Hindus.
I am a conservationist to what some would say is the extreme and yet I agree with you. My eco-actovist friends would probably never talk to me if they heard me agree with you but it's true. We are naive. Some of us are greedy and through greed destroy, but even those people are naive. We are still monkeys with rocket ships. Forgiving ourselves coupled with dedication towards preservation of life is our only way forward. Everything else is ugly.
Very true, but that's also not a pure interpreter anymore. In languages that support eval() or generating and loading bytecode, it's leveraging the JIT compiler and effectively generating native code.

I was so taken by the fact that they were conflating "political entity" with "civilization" that I didn't even realize that they were even breaking up political entities and calling them different "civilization"s.
> no, China or Bahrain or whoever is not going to pay this guy $1000 for the differentiated error to a cross-domain request to Facebook

Feels like a strawman.

You know what they say about selling - solutions, not features.

This isn't a 'cross-domain request' any more than Stackoverflow is a UI on top of 'select * from Questions order by Date desc'

It's a visitor identification system.

That said - I have no idea if this solution is something people will pay for. Especially given it needs an exploit that can be fixed once by one company and instantly sealed.
No prob, glad it was useful :)! Heh, I used to wonder how many people who find that easter egg. I figured it'd be a cool little surprise for anyone who tried to move the splash screen.

It's called enterprise sales. Focused politics and sales pressure to precisely influence and sell through to decision makers who are far from the actual users of the product.
In India, Spotify Premium is 119 INR / month, while Apple Music is 120 INR / month. Spotify also have few other options, like annual membership, and student plans.

While recommendation is off the charts, the collection simply isn't there. Mostly due to licensing issues, I assume.

For instance, really loved the tracks from Suits, and got my own playlist on YouTube too, consisting off some nice tracks compiled from tunefinder.

But the Spotify track list is only a subset, and not all those tracks are available.

Am on iOS, so no Google Pay Music on phone, and for me Apple Music is no worse than Spotify, except when it comes to search.
>...it would make a difference.

It sure would.

If I wanted to design a system to throw society into abject chaos, basically permanently, I can’t think of a better way than a rule of “make it impossible to build something for your children”.

That idea is anti-family, it’s anti-civil-society, and it’s anti-civilization.
I appreciate you sharing this. I'm considering embarking on this approach with my team, and everything you are mentioning is what I was worried about when I first started reading up on the microservices architecture.

Now I'm seriously considering a somewhat hybrid approach: Collect all of my domain data in one giant normalized operational data store (using a fairly traditional ETL approach for this piece), and then having separate schemas for my services. The service schemas would have denormalized objects that are designed for the functional needs of the service, and would be implemented either as materialized views built off the upstream data store, or possibly with an additional "data pump" approach where activity in the upstream data store would trigger some sort of asynchronous process to copy the data into the service schemas. That way my services would be logically decoupled in the sense that if I wanted I could separate the entire schema for a given service into its own separate database later if needed. But by keeping it all in one database for now, it should make reconciliation and data quality checks easier. Note that I don't have a huge amount of data to worry about (~1-2TB) which could make this feasible.
Ignoring the difficult task of actually deciding when a civilization starts and stops, is there some theory that suggests that duration is the right measure? Don't we need a reasonable model of how civilizations work.

It would be interesting to incorporate and merge the data from Joseph Tainter's Collapse of Complex Societies with the data presented here.

More to your point, we have vilified death a bit too much.

In the past they had poems about death, sung death, created legends.

> The US is different but not a special snowflake.
Just California alone I think would qualify. The weather, the girls, the agriculture, the money...

kidding aside... could it be that Canada is only worth about $39 billion for drug sales and the US is about $109 billion per year?

I only have one neighbor (that I know of) who would kill for under a thousand bucks, however if there was a million dollars sitting downtown in cash I am guessing there would be more.

I don't know enough about Canada to say, only a few minutes of edited tv here and there, but from what I had seen - people there appeared to be more willing to help people in need - on the street, and via the govt.

The people I saw in the cities also appeared to be very comfortable and not so angry / intimidating - which may mean you can coerce people there without threatening with a gun or shooting up a block. If you can bully large groups with just a scowl, there is no need for guns and shooting.

I'm just guessing though, I am sure there are many factors.

The lack of help here in the states puts a lot of people on the street with lack of access to healthcare and shelter - that kind of creates environments for crime.

I also think people here are more willing to stand up and fight for what they have or what they want. Not sure that's a geography thing (are people more willing to be shitty to others around them about keeping their 70 degree all year california weather as opposed to the snowy mountains up north?

I'm not sure they actually have fewer guns per capita available up there, but I think they have less reason to fight and kill.

Maybe it’s the US’s prison to no vote and no job pipeline, not sure Canada has the same thing?

Could it have to do with things like the US has 58,000,000 latino / hispanic Americans and Canada has 700,000 ? The US has 10 million illegal immigrants and Canada has 100 thousand? Canada has a million black people and the US has 38 times that many?

I don’t mention these things because I think these people are bad or good, it’s just something that makes USA and Canada different.

Again I am not an expert, just seen a couple of shows and a few searches online. These are some ideas about things that may be factors in the differences. I’m sure I am ignorant in these areas and more. Could it be that people in the US spend more time outside throughout the year comparatively and so more fights break out down here? All kinds of things.

I looked into moving to Canada, but I don’t qualify to move there, I could try to sneak in and be an illegal immigrant, but I would not get the healthcare and votes and other experiences I assume – so I may visit one day, but I don’t expect to actually get a lot of first hand understanding of how different it is unfortunately.
Mozilla fears DarkMatter ‘misuse’ of browser for hacking
honestly this is just not?true.

the Chinese script have evolved, but one can still look at inscriptions from thousands of years ago and understand it.

it might be hard for people to understand different dialects in China but they all use the same writing system, standardized in the Qin dynasty.

Same with the borrowed Chinese characters in Japanese and Korean. A native Chinese speaker would have little problem reading those, although the pronounciations might be a little different
Apple users in India are negligible. There are just 10M iphones in India compared to 300M android users. Of course that number is just 1/3rd of Canada's 30M iphone users.
Interesting move! What are some of your favorite features/improvements thus far? I like that it now supports Chrome extensions
If OpenList [1] on Chrome was ported to Firefox (ahem, someone please do this), you could do this trick:
* Use openlist to copy the list of URLs that you currently have open.
* Paste the list into something. I use sublime because it will remember your _unsaved_ tabs.
* Paste back into a new window later with OpenList to open them all.

This extension is also really helpful for mass URL-manipulation when you're too lazy to write a full script, but want to mash on some API. Someone please make a 1:1 port :D

That's not what native ads are. They are about following the form and behavior of the surrounding content and can have all the same complex interaction and conversion tracking as any other ad.

Also video players with embedded ads have been around for years. The technology is already more advanced this and is just starting to roll out. Despite what you might think, there are plenty of checks against fraud and any publisher that does such blatant video fraud will get caught very quickly.
Actually it's the opposite I believe, at least for the same family of tires.

Sure there are high efficiency tires with harder compounds and are more efficient.

But if you get the sporty tire from whatever brand the higher speed ratings generally have the less flexible/harder material. The limiting factor being the heat generated from the flexing builds up. So generally a 150 mph rated tire gets less traction, costs more, and is worse when it's cold than a 112 mph rated tire.

So even on a fairly sporty car and tire you are best off getting the lowest rated tire that will accommodate your max speed.
Something missing is that there's a difference between how owners and employees are rewarded.

An owner's income doesn't necessarily scale with effort. Instead, it scales with impact (not necessarily theirs, either). An owner can make a decision or do some work and get exponential rewards. Or someone they employ can make a decision or do some work, and the owner can get exponential rewards. An owner can also completely stop working, and by virtue of being an owner still reap the rewards.

Employees on the other hand don't have this leverage. Your income basically scales with effort. Working hard or having a huge impact can get you a promotion and increase your income, but only a little. You won't get a million dollar bonus by earning the company a million dollars. Importantly, if you stop working, you stop earning (this is a big roadblock for many people who do want to try starting their own business, people who want to be an owner).

Besides aptitude and opportunity, the economy wouldn't function if everyone started their own company. Many things truly do need teams working together to get things done. Perhaps we should be talking about how to reward workers in a way that scales with their collective impact rather than their effort.
I used to make/sell these bots back when I was in high school in the early 2010s. It was a great way to learn programming and make some money flipping sneakers on the side. The bot scene was in its reaaal early stages so I had a lot of fun catching up as Nike (nobody cared about Adidas at all back then) kept trying different types of lottery systems and captchas to figure out what would stick. Learned early on that notification systems were the best way to go.

I've always been happy with JIRA, using it successfully in large enterprises and in my own 2-person startup. But I know you have plenty of company in your hatred for it. As a tool for quickly entering an issue I want to track and having simple drag and drop across swimlanes for my development workflow, it does all I need it to do.

Can I ask what your preferred alternative is?
it wasn't all bullshit though, you were just to young to understand the concept of how science works. you thought breakthroughs were cure-all's, when really they were incremental improvements. By the 90's, they had meds which has allowed patience to live long and relatively normal lives - those meds came from the scientific breakthroughs of the 80's which you despise so much.

Likewise, no one is saying this a practical cure - but scientifically speaking these are two individuals whom have been relieved of the disease, thoroughly confirmed, and now with two patients, a replicated process (however impractical it is).

Sorry for your losses, just saying, you shouldn't 'shit' on peoples hard scientific work because it didn't fulfill your hopes and dreams.

There’s only one type system feature that Rust has that Haskell doesn’t, and Haskell will have it soon. Yet there are many features that Haskell has that Rust does not, and Rust is not getting that stuff any time soon. That’s what I mean by raw power; it is very close to a subset relationship.
This is definitely not true in iOS for the last 2 years at least.
> Google had their own version of the Facebook's opt-in but highly-invasive research app, but only for people who were over 18 (at least as of the past couple years).

This equivocation is a little ridiculous imho. Google's app was literally a tracking app by its very claim, there was no sense of deception or bait-and-switch.

Composing unix commands means endlessly adjusting the textual output of one tool to the input requirements of another. Most such coding only cares about the happy cases; it will march on with an incorrect datum because of some unexpected twist in a textual format. For instance, a field delimiting character suddenly occurs in a field. Or some code is scraping data by hard columns, but a field width overflows and the columns shift.

I have to say I quite like how he doesn't really care about what anyone thinks of a decision he makes and he stands by his points.
Not sure there are any good ways to prove it at this point, but I think that part of the appeal is the mass media coverage. You get instagram famous, news at 9 and news at 5 and 10 and 11 TV famous, you get facebook famous.. and the debates about guns and the interest groups and the people who want votes and those who want money and power - they all keep your name in the news for longer than most stories in a cycle.

Then when you trial date comes up it all goes on again - so these people see the fame that others have gotten - and how people have loathed them and feared them, and their shots are heard around the world.

Not so much the case when someone mixes bleach and windex.

> In other words, as mruts said, the government steps in to mess everything up.

Certainly. But it still actually happens under existing law to existing public companies, and happens less to companies that aren't public corporations (C corps.) and correspondingly don't have the same tax treatment. And having companies owned by smaller numbers of people also addresses the issue of ownership being so diluted that nobody has sufficient incentive to pay attention to corporate governance.

> Yes, but those problems can't be fixed by making the market less free.

The "[some regulation] vs. lack thereof" debate is uninteresting in the abstract. Most regulations make things worse as a general rule, but if we don't evaluate them each individually then we wouldn't even have laws against theft or murder etc.
Several related facts:

1. In countries that empower women, they are less likely to choose math and science professions:

2. In the past 30 years women have made gains in traditionally male areas like law and medicine, but have gone backward in software engineering

3. Men are disproportionately on the autism spectrum

It seems to me that aiming for 50% female representation in software engineering is not necessarily something we should be aiming at
