As a general rule of thumb, you should always take a person's actions as a whole when you can. Unfortunately, you don't always have the luxury of getting to know someone well before making a major decision of some kind (for example, hiring someone). Sometimes you have to rely on these kinds of techniques. Not because they're foolproof (lord knows they aren't), but because they're all you've got.
Is this intended purely as libraries to use in the browser? JavaScript doesn't just mean web anymore - but if this is aimed at web it might be worth saying so explicitly.

But people aren't single core computers. You're not going to tell me that all you ever do is work on one program. You go play squash in the evening, you have a barbeque in the weekend. The point isn't that, during your work day, you switch between 'job' and 'side project' 5 times; the point is that you work on your job in the daytime, and then at 10pm you hack a bit on that one algorithm you didn't quite get right, or on that lost sunday afternoon while you're waiting for your in-laws whose flight was delayed for 3 hours you experiment with that unit testing framework for language xyz you're been looking at. That's not multi-tasking.
A corollary to this, always speak in private as you would in public. Never say anything about someone else you would not say to them directly (even if you're talking to your spouse about work issues whatever). Sometimes you think you need to, but looking back it's always better to keep your own voice strong and true. It's like playing a violin. The more wrong notes you hit when you practice in private, the more wrong notes you hit when you perform in public. Eventually the bad notes resonate so much they start affecting the voice of the instrument and it starts to develop poor tone in and of itself. The wood particles start to re-align themselves. That's what separates the great instruments from the cheap instruments. Sure the great instruments were made well to start, but they were also played well throughout their lives. Always speak in private as you would in public.

The High Price of For-Profit Colleges
I identify with the CEO. Not because I am superior or because I have money in my account, but just because I seem to make fewer mistakes and be less clumsy than people around me.

I don't get mad at the waiter for making a mistake, because I don't know him, and this might have really been a one in a million thing for him, in which case, it just happens. I do get mad at my girlfriend, though, for example, who always seems to bump into things, or who doesn't think very far ahead to anticipate things, or notice things, or remember things as well as I do, etc.

I guess that she can't help it any more than she can help a random occurrence, but I can't help but think that the situation would be greatly improved if only she just paid more attention to things around her.

Anyway, it irks me when people have difficulty doing things that seem trivial to me. It irks me precisely because I don't think I'm better than them, and thus am confounded as to why they seem to have more difficulty. If I thought "I'm just smarter than them", it wouldn't irk me any more because it's an innate difference that can't change, but I don't believe that...

Captivating Summer Festivals in India Celebrating Joy of Existence
There are lots of stigmas against behaviors which are widely considered, well, stupid. Or immoral. Or degenerate. Even if lots of people have tried them (and perhaps still occasionally imbibe).

Hypocrisy is demonized. Sometimes rightly, sometimes wrongly.
One problem is that even if there are far fewer road casualties with driverless cars, there will still almost certainly be some casualties, perhaps many. Who do we hold responsible for those?

If we blame the car makers, there may not be any car makers because nobody will want to take on the liability.

If we don't blame anyone then there is no incentive to improve the situation and no way to hold people accountable for sincere negligence.

We would have to accept that a consumer product will occasionally kill us, and come up with some standard to judge whether the manufacturer "tried hard enough" to prevent it.

I can't think of any precedent for that. There are plenty of products that can kill us, but only if we misuse them. A driverless car will have a few deadly design flaws that we only learn about from experience.

Maybe this should be publicly acknowledged up front and a legal framework established. That seems better than pretending it's completely safe, causing a shitstorm when something inevitably goes wrong.
In theory, the Linux kernel has been binary stable since version 1.0 -- if it worked on an old version, it will work on a new one.

In practice, due to the vast number of configuration options, it's not entirely binary stable even across different people compiling the same code. With work, you can probably make things compatible, but it doesn't come for free.

Just FYI: the version of SproutCore being used here is SproutCore 2.0 developer preview, which made aggressive use of new browser features, but missed a couple of places to polyfill. Those places are now plugged, mostly due to this exercise.

SproutCore 1.x, the current stable line, is in use for a number of major sites that work across a large number of browsers, including IE7 and IE8.

@tomdale's comment above provides some context for the rationale behind using a developer preview for this site: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2598829

It will be pushed as "driver assist".

A little siren goes off, warning you to break. Navigation tells you where to go, and how.

An override button appears, allowing you to give the computer control in an emergency. Eventually, the button becomes a switch, and the switch gets left on.

"Autodrive" licenses (similar to automatic licenses) are introduced, allowing people to pass their driving test in full auto mode, provided they only drive cars in full auto.

Good. It is a small gesture, but considering the recent decision regarding government support for illegal new settlements you have to do what you can. I suspect many people here might otherwise not have realized what is going on, and this draws attention to Israel's intention to do what it can to sabotage the chances for peace in the region.

Good on you RMS.

Consciousness as an object isn't even a scientific entity, - That's good news, not bad. If it's not a scientific entity, we don't have to worry about it or hold it up to scientific scrutiny. Similarly we can stave off worrying about whether it has a soul, and which God it belongs to should it in fact have a soul--whatever that means.

Ah, but this is the crux of the Chinese Room argument. You're saying that since we can't measure it or detect it, it doesn't exist, and therefore isn't important. When you have a brain simulation going and having a conversation with it, that's enough for you. It says it's conscious, and we can't measure consciousness, therefore it is conscious.

I disagree. Strongly. That brain simulation is a zombie. The man in the room does not speak Chinese.

But we'll see. I actually think we will, Kurzweil might be somewhat of a crackpot with his singularity, but his extrapolations of increases in processing power say that we'll have the power to simulate a human brain in a pocket-sized thing in 2030-something, and the power to simulate all of humanity in 2040-something. I'll be around 60 years old then, and hopefully still sticking around. :-)
My aging BMW had most of the features you mention (may it rest in peace). It indicated how many brake lights were out, whether the fluids were low, and when the brakes were worn. It also had electronic stability control, which made driving in the snow possible and driving the rain much safer and faster.

We also have mandatory annual safety inspections where I live, which should catch things like worn suspension, rust-damaged parts, etc.
This doesn't co-exist with their business model. If Google were much better (or personalized, or social) that would kill their search engine advertising business.
This is really tough, and the question relies on the nature of your organization. If your organization is well-run and has clear escalation paths, then you follow the process, and the process will sort out the situation out for you. If there are no such processes in place in your organization, then you either rely on your direct relationship with that guy's boss (if you have one), or more commonly, escalate to your own manager, and your own manager dialogues with that guy's manager.

I like it. I am one of those crazy people as well and have been kicking around the idea of making something like this. I keep quotes in a google doc and I have a ton of them so I'd love the ability to import a list of many quotes from a text file. Also would like the ability to edit quotes after I submit them. I included the quotation marks in my quote so the result has \" in it.

A couple of other notes: the export link seems to be broken, and when I click on the star the quote disappears. Using Chrome on OS X.

Yet another dead/hidden comment that shouldn't be: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2598559 by brudgers. Here's the text:

Keep in mind that the analogy of the mill is only one element in support of Leibnitz's central argument in the Monadology. A crude outline:

Perception exits.
Perception cannot be found in the parts.
Therefore there must be something else.
To avoid the same problem the something else
must not be composed of parts.
Therefore a simple substance [the monad] which
perceives must exist.

What the passage from Leibnitz suggests is that the step from drawing an analogy using most sophisticated technology of the day as representative of the brain to the belief that the brain is the technology is not unique to the invention of computers.

It depends - for purely factual content, it would work well. However, it would also discourage the random articles, essays and writings which give E2 its particularly personal voice. Wikipedia is very much about stating the facts about each subject in an encyclopedic way; E2 often ends up being more about several peoples' (possibly differing) opinions on a subject. They're both very valid approaches, and I'm glad both can exist at the same time.
A REST wankery question
My way of thinking towards serving staff is mostly the same as to everyone else: "Here's a person, I will be polite to them".

On a semi-unrelated note, I feel really really badly when people pour my water/drink, probably because it's servile and I am really averse to it (I don't like thinking of people as inferior). Perhaps surprisingly, I don't mind waiters bringing me what I ordered, I guess it's because that's expected and accepted, thus it's not something that shows (or forces) inferiority.
No worries, the majority of people make that mistake.

I think this is one instance where talking about the "average consumer" is meaningless, since if you define the average to be something like the median 50% of the population, you're still excluding the 50% of the population at the ends of the distribution.

I don't know why nobody mentioned this but commuting is not killing you. When you have the feeling it's a waste of time it will kill you. Just like a job that feels like a waste of time will kill you.

Check the comments of people who are commuting by bike or by walking. Commuting that way feels like freeing your mind and exercising. That's why it doesn't feel like a waste of time. Same for the people who are programming or reading a book in the bus or train.

Commuting will not kill you. Wasting time will.

My biggest complaint with Wikipedia isn't deletionism, but epistemology. Stating that the sky was blue in London on Monday May 30, 2011 demands less rigorous verification than claiming that the rulers of some state did or did not commit genocide. One is superficially inconsequential while the other is likely to lead to a lot of strife.

To give a concrete example, a prominent US geneticist states in the biography on his personal website that his biological father was a highly decorated American pilot. This is a fairly uncontentious claim, yet fails to meet the Wikipedia standard of verifiability.
