I think it is a little bit different:

Fortran and COBOL are implementations of imperative programming languages. The ideas did not change. You still use while, for, if constructs in your ruby/python/java code.

only another level of abstractions was added now with object principles, you can create your own types, you can use polymorphism

but without an idea of imperative programming you would not be able to use these "new" languages (functional programming left aside)

I think it is the same with science, at least regarding physics - einstein did not proove newton wrong. he just extended his theory so that it would better describe the reality (in this case: what happens when you approach speed of light) but for most calculations newton's formulas are still fine.

I was turned off when I started college why I had to learn so much cs theory, but once you start to understanding the concepts and ideas behind certain things you are (theoretical) able to dissect the latest hype look and understand why things are the way they are.

tl;dr: learn concepts and ideas not specific implementations

I think the people that are explaining how Facebook has the right to do this, and should be expected to do this, are missing the point. This is not about Facebook's legal rights to do stuff: it's about whether it's a smart business decision to exercise those rights in certain ways.

Facebook wants to be a useful platform for its users, including companies as users. A platform is not useful if any nitwit can file an infringement claim and get a page taken down. It's in Facebook's best interest to review such claims closely enough to notice that, for instance, they have no reason whatsoever to assume that the 'Mr. Stevens' from the story is actually a laywer representing anyone. At a bare minimum, infringement claims should come on good old paper or should be cryptographically signed, in order for them to be taken seriously.

As such, this shows a serious problem with Facebooks proposition to small companies. If you use them, and use them successfully, you open yourself up for extortion. That can not possibly be something they want.

In Norway, we have the opposite problem: Nearly half of the grades in some subjects at NTNU are Fs, and 40% of all students get an F every year. The institute for IT, maths and electronics implicitly says that "a high failure rate means the standard is high", and they ignore feedback and complaints about professors.

Luckily (if I should put it like that), the grades themselves are usually fair. It's just that some subjects require too much work to be considered as one subject, which seems to be the university's intentions.

I think this is the client I want to use for replicating my desktop like Max Hodak describes[1]. It sure has enough options for target storage.

It boasts client-side encryption, but the author says that "In terms of speed, Syncany only transfers the changes of files, so if you change only a couple of bytes of a 100 MB file, only those bytes which have changed will be transferred (+ some more)[2]."

Sounds like it uses homomorphic encryption[3]. I don't have the skills to read the code and know whether it's well done. Can anyone comment?

I deliberately picked that example, where they thought they were doing net good, but in fact they were not on further consideration. Some descendants think still that the Empire did net good, but they are ignorant of many of the details.

The example I gave shows starkly their attitude towards those they subjugated, and if you go to the wiki linked, you will see it was a popular viewpoint. It's an effective example exposing the views popularly maintained by those holding power in the Empire. How can people holding these views do more good than harm, overall?

A famine on the doorstep of a superpower is not forgiveable, no amount of scientific progress or engineering prowess can forgive it. Many of the things they credit themselves with improving they initially instigated and promoted, e.g. opium trade, slave trade, penal colonies, regional wars arising out of 'divide and conquer' tactics. They were not a civilising force.

I'm sure there are a number of bots that are able to fool people a lot of the time and many have been around for a long time, but that isn't what people think of when you say AI.
My observation with why it has the potential to fail has to do with the sub-set of my friends who have accounts and those that don't.

There are two groups I noticed that signed up. I know lots of people that got invitations and didn't sign up for various reasons as well. But two main demographics appeared:

1) my techy introvert friends

2) my attention whore friends which to be part of the in crowd

Group 1 is a pointless demographic as they don't tend to express on social networks, and have small groups of associates.

Group 2 are full of hot air and even on Facebook I have many of them blocked so I don't have to listen to dribble about how great they are.

I added maybe 30 or 40 people from my friend set, and over the span of a week 3 things where posted. My attention whore friends posted recently on Facebook about how they had G+ accounts, but not one of them posted anything, well at least publicly.

I consider both groups rather caustic. Group 1 tends to be quite depressive and negative as a bunch, they also prone to being preachy fan boys and interjecting opinion whether asked or not. Group 2 tends to get annoying although they often have things of interest going on, the tirade of babble is enough for me to off dealing with them often.

So I closed my G+ account, and I'm secretly hoping that both groups stays over at G+ and doesn't pipe there content into Facebook. Since closing I've had a few conversations with people interested in why I closed it, and several people have commented they don't like the current crowd all that much either. And thats dangerous.
The title of this article is bit misleading as each airline has their own system, British Airways even having rather different-looking interfaces in the various cabins classes (though the films are the same). The one thing all such systems do seem to have in common is instability. In my experience, the inflight entertainment locks up on about one in four flights without any hostile action from my side. It could of course be someone else experimenting.

Who is Most Americans? I'm okay with any sort of sentence that begins with "Some people," because "Some people want to experiment sexually with small mammals" is probably true. But when you cross into "most" you're making a statistical assertion of majority, and that sort of thing requires fact instead of ho-hum generalization.

What happens when you say "Most Americans" in this way is the creation of a mythical Other. "I'm American, but I'm different from _those_ Americans." (I am aware that I'm assuming you're American.)
Pathetic Air India

A few points

1. There is a much bigger correlation with India than you suppose.

You can
a. build universities and schools to train people
b. create favorable tax and corporate structures to foster industry
c. capture markets to make a and b and c into a positive feedback loop that makes rapid advancement possible.

Guess which of these is the hardest. It is c - having a captive market. The british captured the Indian market through money and cunning and proceded to systematically weaken then denude native industry then force export their own goods under the pretext of governance. The ratio of manufactures turned from something like 4:1 in India's favor in 1800 to 1:4 by 1900. This entire period was the one of greatest growth for the industrial revolution and it was in fact financed by India. As a french guy wrote, even if the french lost the war to the brits, it was beneficial for europe as this arrangement reduced the cost of development for all of europe. There was no capitalism or industrialism in the west before the Brits came to India.

2. There is no simply comparison between famines under the British, where supplies were not sent out even though they had control of them, and instead levies on starving peasants were increased 10% year over year and famines before and after. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengal_famine_of_1770

3. It has become standard practice in the west to use the caste system to whitewash British exploitation. Fact is British rule made the situation for the poorest in India much worse than it had ever historically been economically.
Poor people could'nt even buy salt which was monopolized by the British for almost 200 years. This salt tax which Gandhi nonviolently protested against was not repealed until the British were kicked out of the country.

4.There was a popular election in 1939 which Jinnah lost even in muslim majority provinces in India. When Nehru tried to pressure the British to leave, Jinnah took the opportunity to get the Queen's support to launch a party which never got even the Muslim popular vote for a new country in the name of Islam. Hindu-muslim is kind of a false label for what actually happened.

Nothing against the British really - they took advantage of history when it was in their favor. It's just the false propaganda that they were somehow hugely beneficial for India that needs to be called out, something which has become truth by sheer repetition.
I think that hits the nail on the head. If Facebook were brazenly advertising Google+ as if they had no fear, I'd think that a proper bit of cheek.

Of course, they're probably looking at actual click-through rates and realizing that's not worth it...

Hi all, earth rotated, greetings from another side of the globe. There are many good points in the article, but not this one:

"Communal (including communist) countries remain primitive and poor, whereas the rich, advanced nations have gotten where they are by means of economic exchange."

From European (continental) perspective, that statement is false. Rich countries in Europe (Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Norway etc.) are observably more communal than poorer countries. Division is not between the former Communist countries vs. other countries. Among the former the more communal, bourgeois-oriented Czech Republic has bigger GDP per capita than more individualistic, nobility-oriented Hungary or Poland. More communal means richer, how weird! Why is that?

My favorite theory explaining it is based on historical military considerations - countries in mainland Europe have long land borders other countries of approximately equal size and development level. In order to maintain sovereignty a country (or other "culture" as defined in the article, say independent city) needs as many soldiers as possible. So it pays to offer free medical care and welfare to the population so that all citizens are stay in good health and can, if necessary, defend the country and it's culture. So it was beneficial to the country to divide resources more equally rather than based on equity. Prime example is Switzerland which was founded in exactly these circumstances and look where they are: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(PPP)_....
I have a question: I am receiving stock (not options) in a publicly traded company for part of my compensation in a project. I believe that is considered by the SEC to be restricted stock, so to sell it I will need to follow Rule 144.

However, as I understand it, from the perspective of the IRS, it is no restricted as it is an outright stock grant with no vesting or other such provisions.

So, given the above, let me lay out a scenario:

I earn 100 shares of the stock at a rate of $1/share. On the day that I invoice for this stock, it is worth $1.50/share. After six months, when I am able to sell the stock, I sell it at $2/share.

As best I understand it, under section 83(a), I have to report the full $1.50 as income on the day I receive it. Section 83(b) does not apply as it is not restricted stock from the perspective of the IRS. As such, when I sell the stock at $2, it is taxed as capital gains.

Is my understanding correct?
You can advertise on BMW's website using CPC or CPM? Where is the signup form?
I got the email too. This is the strangest product shutting down (non)-announcement I've seen from a startup. I think most startups could do with a crash course in how to communicate with their users.

Given all that's been written about the importance of user feedback, most founders are very responsive now when they start - what with stalking visitors with Olark accounts, replying to emails and tweets within seconds, answering questions on social news sites. All is great when they want to benefit from the users' comments. But as soon as that's no longer the case, they treat users like a commodity and don't seem to care about telling them what's going on or what to expect next.

It doesn't bode well for their future projects.

Yes, we use Twilio.

Our goal to start is to see how people are using the application in terms of minutes and call styles. After that, we'll probably tweak the plans to allow plans to have minutes built in. We figure most customers won't use the lines heavily as a main point of contact (like a Startup who uses us as a contact us line). This way we can build minutes into the plans and still turn a profit.
To be crude, this is bullshit. I am not a genius by any means whatsoever. I am 23. I have a degree in studio art, and I'm listed as a coauthor (along with small teams) on papers in machine learning AND biochemistry. It is 10,000 times EASIER to contribute to multiple fields today! There is still so much that we do not know, and it is so
much easier to learn the basics. This kind of thinking, that we know almost everything, that we must specialize --- oooh, it enrages me. I can walk into any lab in the country, and two years later, have contributed significantly to published results; and that isn't a bold claim about me --- that's a claim about how easy it is to learn new things, and how much there is we do not yet know.
Sounds to me like the curriculum/material is the problem in such an instance.
