I mean, there's nothing wrong with Stratfor. It's just the business they're in means that the clients who engage them for one-off analysis jobs are often into some pretty... globally interesting things.

Think of it like this.

Say that, one day, all the pigs in town just disappear. Gone.

And everyone's like, "Hey. Where are all the pigs? This is crazy. Hey, Danilo, do you know where the pigs went?"

"Me? Uh, no."

But a few years later, the town librarian has all his emails leaked. And included among this is a brief exchange, a week before The Pig Event, wherein I ask "So, librarian, any advice on books for transporting livestock? Oh, could you set aside Pigs for Dummies for me?"

This message is now... pretty interesting.

Does it prove I'm a pig thief? Not necessarily, unless I get into more detail in other messages. It does suggest, though, that I might have known more than I did when the event happened. And that it's worth digging around for links between me and the pigs.
One as a web server and one as a toy.
Is getting information from JSON going to solve the problem at all? I like the simplicity of simpleCart, and I do a lot of front-end stuff. With simpleCart, I don't have to write a huge chunk of server side scripts and correspond the back-end with the front-end. I can just add a few classes in my html and simpleCart is going to do the magic.
Sigh.. I guess we have a winner between javascript and php now. (I heard a lot of debates recently arguing the javascript would replace php)

If anything you're the one guilty of baseless slander, as if every member of the military was a racist war criminal. If anything, you're only demonstrating my point about OWS not being the kind of people to make a political coalition with.

Closure Library also has a class for doing this:

http://www.google.com/codesearch#epIciakqvFc/trunk/closure/g...
I disagree. This class was very easy compared to other courses in the department. There's no problem with the class not having a theoretical focus. However I do think that it is bad to have assignments/quizzes that require no critical thinking and programming assignments that can be done in 30-40 minutes. There is a lot that can be taught in the area of applied machine learning.. I have to disagree that applied machine learning is inherently an "easy" topic.

I think this course would be great for what it does if they made the programming projects a bit harder and maybe labeled it an intro level course (CS129?). I totally agree with the posters sentiments -- I'd much rather have a harder class where you interact with other students to learn more complex material.
Interesting article. I think reading outside one's comfort zone (as well as programming outside one's comfort zone and meeting people outside one's comfort zone) is valuable for a few reasons:

1) As Charlie Munger and others have said, to win an argument, you must know the other person's position in their own words better than they do.

2) Reading for reinforcement is useful hut has diminishing returns. I may not agree with a lot of Noam Chomsky or Ann Coulter but I have still read some of what they write. If nothing else it sharpens my reasoning. And it also opens horizons.
3) As the article states, being narrow is boring.
4) Being broadly read provides access to ideas that others don't have.

I think it is too wordy though, and for 99% of projects, the MIT vs BSD vs Apache difference is not terribly important, so why weight your project down with a crazy big license?

I prefer MIT. It's a little clearer to me, and is claimed to be GNU GPL compatible.

Great start.

However, as a heavy RSS user, an MVP isn't gonna cut it for me.

Couple of specific things are going to prevent me from using your product:

1. Your UI shows way too few feed items on a page. Compared to Google Reader, for example, you display maybe 30% as much content on a single page. That makes reading RSS feeds slow on your product.

2. There is no ability to group RSS feeds in any way. I'm not a single interest kinda of a person, so my RSS subscriptions contain all kinds of content. I don't read all that content the same way, and I don't feel like reading some of the content all the time.

I like the filtering capability you have on the feeds. This is something I've been missing for some time. I wish you'd expand it from simple keywords to maybe regular expression based. Look into how killfiles in Usenet clients used to work for inspiration maybe.
The US tree usage statistic originally came from TAPPI (the tree pulp, paper, packaging, and converting industry assocation).
It's a sad fact of subjectivity that you can, apparently seiously, call out anyone else for trolling. You've run every fallacious argument up the flagpole here. But it's the fault of jonhenry or any rational person for taking this issue up with you, since you admitted squarely in the beginning that your intellectual justification for this is "fuck it."

The only thing preventing my using this line to justify the publication of internal emails between the 5 people who run my competitor is a thin, grey line that you seem to be drawing and redrawing continually. This is an intellectually and morally bankrupt idea you've got here, it hardly suffices for a proper argument as to why this is legitimate action.

Let's say that we tell the AI to eliminate malaria.

So it incinerates the biosphere. Now we don't have any malaria, but we also don't have any humans.

The AI would have done exactly what we asked it to do, but not what we wanted to do. For any reasonable request, you need to specify a ridiculous amount of background information as to what is and isn't acceptable. Probably any simple list you create will be missing something, and we'll be miserable/unhappy as a result of it's exclusion.

Definitely agree. Unfortunately the tools sometime make it easier to shoot yourself in the foot. No matter how smart you are.

And sometime smart people tend to think they're invincible/bullet-proof. Not too many people have high-level discipline. And those that have high-level discipline tend to be shunned by "hackers" because "hackers" hate "processes". They just want to write fun code.

Hence the circle of evil.

Ice Cream Sandwich May Come To Galaxy S
Not trying to be a negative Nancy, but I just went to your site, clicked the 'live site' link to the 'Gooley' gallery, right clicked the image and 'saved as', and it worked.

I even checked to see that the downloaded image matched what I saw on my screen.

Is it supposed to do something else?

For the record, I'm using Chrome on Ubuntu, but I also tried it with Chrome and Windows and got the same results.
Subscription packs are the best part of your idea so far. I suggest you keep them, but spend some time thinking about who your target user is, how you'll tell them about how you'll provide them value, and how you'll provide them value.

Here are some questions I had:

1. what does a user expect to happen next when they click on a subscription pack?

2. why is your landing page dark while your app is light?

3. why isn't there an action when a user clicks "All your
favorite websites in one place."

4. why isn't there a clearer call to action?

5. it seems like you're targeting users who don't currently use RSS at all, will they even understand what your product does?
If the costs of hosting at a spam-infested provider beats the clean one by much, adding this layer would be a good idea.

I originally checked "QWERTY, not considering to switch", but after reading the thread I had to change my vote. Maybe I'll try a few-month experiment.

Question though:

How do you copy/paste in Dvorak? Does it really take two hands? Do you have to remap copy/paste to new keys if you want to maintain the one-handed ability?

Also, anyone know what default behavior is for remote desktop? Do I need to change my keyboard settings on the remote machine or only the local machine? (I could TIAS tomorrow at work, but I'm on my linux laptop with no access to a machine to remote into.)
I co-founded 2 separate companies that have (so far) made Flash websites for photographers our bread and butter. One serves the wedding/portrait crowd, the other high-end fashion and commercial photogs. Each does 7-figures in revenue per year.

We have had HTML mirror sites for smartphones and tablets since the iPhone existed (+/- a few weeks). Most of our competitors do as well. So the example in the post is only semi-valid.

Of course I'll be the first in line to celebrate Flash's demise. We're rolling out all HTML5 solutions now and the future looks good.

Not only is that pure speculation on your part, it's also not true.
Reading up on wikipedia, it seems like MacOS has an option called "Dvorak – Qwerty ⌘" which allows you to type in Dvorak but use your old familiar ⌘-C ⌘-V etc. for copy/paste. Anyone know if Windows has a similar option?

5 Businesses That Failed to Survive Trials of 2011
If the lectures were coupled with wiki-style video annotation, over time people could curate Q&A. This would be fantastic study material and it would be embedded at the most relevant moments of the lecture. It would get better with each new question and would be available to everyone forever.

So - people still learn together, just not necessarily concurrently.
It looks like it would be trivial to find collisions; all the functions used (xor, bitshifts, and addition) are trivially reversible. Just replace the nondeterminism of reversing the binary operators (xor and addition) with a random number generator and you've got yourself a collision generator.

And that just shows how pointless copyright law is in this particular example. It's analogous to someone inventing a device that causes food to rain from the sky across a large area, then passing laws which state that no one can eat the food that rains onto their property (without permission of that inventor).

I'm all for trade secrets (which really already exist as consequences of employee contracts and trespassing laws), but prohibiting anyone from using code that you deliberately share with the world seems so backwards to me.

Calling Clojure from Java is ugly, but calling Clojure from JRuby is quite pleasant, and I'm pretty sure a nice Clojure library could be written for calling JRuby from Clojure.

Calling Clojure from Java is difficult because Java is inflexible more than some inherent weakness in the "bootstrap on a host VM" strategy.

I've written a library to call Clojure from JRuby. It's about 100 lines, and took me an afternoon. I assume the situation is similar all high level JVM languages.

Given all the above, I agree that the JVM languages will fragment somewhat, but to a lesser degree than you seem to think. If there are any really killer app libraries in one language, it won't be too hard to integrate them into the other languages.
You're surprised... why? You were expecting Python semantics?

Unsurprisingly, JavaScript is its own language.
The mind design space is HUGE. (http://lesswrong.com/lw/rm/the_design_space_of_mindsingenera...)

The "default AI" is a program that we build. That's all we know. Most programs that we build do not properly represent human values. If they don't properly take those into account, then we lose things we care about. The AI that "optimizes our supply chain for paper clips" will, in the limiting case, consume humans and the environment and the earth and the sun in order to produce as many paperclips as possible and distribute them as widely as possible. A "default AI" will not care about its survival or the survival of its creators.
The prospect of going to a gym to lift weights and turn into [this] really doesn't appeal.

That's not to say that Zumba or similar girl fitness classes won't also make you healthy or look good. I'm just pointing out that you utterly misrepresent pretty much all high level weightlifting women.
Yes and no.

At the scale pof operates at you have to A/B test everything because some things are very counter-intuitive.

My favorite anecdote of his (tried to find it on his blog but google is failing me) was when he briefly fixed the problem I hated most about the site: the aspect ratio of the profile pic thumbnails being off.

What happened is that it cost him lots of money. And the explanation as to why makes sense too: when the aspect ratio is messed up people can't tell at a glance what the person looks like so they click through to people's profiles a lot more instead of just scanning the top bar/search page. When your business model is based on page impressions getting people to load more pages means you get more money.

So in that case at least it's better for his pocket to have something that's obviously broken (and easy to fix) on the site.
You are missing a lot of context. The DRW tech team has a lot of ex ThoughtWorkers - many of the best got tired of traveling around for consulting assignments and were snapped up by DRW. Jay was a very respected dev when he was at TW (we worked on a project together- hi Jay!), and if I were trying to hire him I would be hiring him specifically so that he could raise the bar. Adding Clojure to a java code base is trivial, especially given the calibre of the DRW team. The idea at TW when I was there was that languages were expected to change and devs were supposed to "level up" as part of their job description.

TW had the policy that "technical decisions are made by technical people" and I wouldn't be surprised if DRW had something similiar. What mix of languages should be used on a project should (imo) be made by developers who work on that code base. If Jay insists on working in a language he knows (from experience, he is a great Java dev) to be better, then more power to him.
Thanks for a great reply! I think my (and I don't think I'm alone in this) bias is that when I think of intelligence I tend to think of tasks that the human brain has evolved to perform, like linguistic and visual analysis. It may be argued that these tasks form a small subspace of the "intelligence space", but, boy, is the human brain good at solving these! That doesn't mean that we are optimal; however, for many AI tasks the brain operates on such a vastly different performance level that comparisons with machine AI seem out of place. Even systems like Watson, which were created by many hundreds of man-years, can stump humans in narrow domain tasks.

Now, it might be argued that some sort of paradigm shift will occur as machines get more intelligent (e.g. similar to how results from STR and quantum theory were impossible to predict to Newtonian-constrained thinking) and some effects that we cannot predict now will prevail, like the massive increase in intelligence in humans that caused/was caused by the advent of language.
I didn't actually mean evil.

I think "evil" is exactly the right word. An entity with goals which are incompatible with your goals (in the sense that both of them cannot be reached) can be described as literally evil. That's exactly what "evil" means.

Eating plan in the Postmenopausal Woman Part 3
Also from that link:

No built in components from ASP are used. Everything is written from scratch. Nothing is more complex than a simple if then and for loops.

and...

In the process of getting rid of ASP.NET repeaters and instead uses the append string thing or response.write. If you are doing over a million page views a day just write out the code to spit it out to the screen.

I think this goes a long way to explaining how this is all running on IIS on a seemingly "small" hardware infrastructure. Last company I worked for reimplemented a "classic" ASP app which was mostly in-page SQL statements calling stored procedures, with Response.Writes building the HTML. The new implementation, in ASP.NET, used .NET components, an ORM, an elegantly abstracted object model, agile methodologies, etc. It was slower than sludge compared to the old app.

"Evil" is a label for a particular subset of human behaviors, which are a subset of all possible minds.

I think it's far more useful to define "evil" to be about goals which are fundamentally incompatible with your own. Not only does this cover every human example, but it matches the intuitive feel for what "evil" means even if the entity in question is not human, and leaves systems which have no internal representation of goals as morally neutral, like hurricanes, no matter how dangerous or damaging.

I see this viewpoint as containing the following characteristics.

* the idea that society-wide events happen because they are planned by an entity that is fully conscious of what it is doing

* the believe that entities actually exist that could actually reliably orchestrate society-scale things

* the idea that society-scale things can be planned at all, which entails that society-scale things can be predicted reliably

* the attribution of human characteristics to a vague group

* the idea that vague groups can be understood as having a singular consciousness

* the idea that vague groups can be understood as having a singular motivation exactly like that of a single human being, such as greed, avarice, lust, pride, jealousy

This type of thinking has been attractive to humanity for the last hundred thousand years or so. It's like Hellenistic polytheism in which the natural world could be understood as being comprised of human-like entities each of which can be understood the way you would psychologize a single person. You can understand the natural world as you would understand the complex interplay of visceral motivations of different human-like minds. You might find it similar to the world The Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire, Game of Thrones, any given soap opera, any Shakespeare play; the game of the viewer is you have to keep track of these different shifting alliances, relationships, and the visceral motives (lust, price, envy etc) of all these different characters plotting and scheming against each other; it's like porn for a certain part of the mind, it's just part of being a social ape. It's doubtless that it's a vital part of being a member of any small troop of chimpanzees, keeping track of complicated relationships, who owes who what, who's allied with who, who's sleeping with who, etc.

If u don't give anything back, not complaining about "zero equity" makes total sense. If u were as involved as I was in the local "big picture", the fsct that there's no 40k grant means I basically worked for the government FOR FREE, or at least with a VERY HARD return on my time.
