I've had two tiny disc magnet implants in two fingers for over three years now. I originally had it implanted as part of an idea for a novel man-machine interface I came up with for my Master's degree research project at the Uni of Reading (UK).

The early reports of electrical fields inducing sensations had intrigued me, so I set out to explore the possibility of controlling the magnet with an external electromagnet, which in my final design was a simple coil ring worn around the finger, and use it as a sensory substitution man-machine interface. After measuring the frequency response, sensitivity etc characteristics, I finally put it into a practical application demo by using the interface to couple an ultrasonic ranger and a mobile phone to myself. The ultrasonic ranger was used to feed the distance information and I learnt pretty quickly to judge distances and move about with my eyes closed. In the phone scenario, I encoded characters as Morse Code pulses and could "read" the incoming text messages. My morse skills weren't that good but it worked!

The internalization of the sensory information, with the magnet being inside the body, made a qualitative subjective difference as opposed to simply having a magnet glued to the finger.

There's a bit of info on this and pictures/xrays on my blog: http://www.jawish.org/blog/plugin/tag/smii. The details on the interface is on the paper we published: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/freeabs_all.jsp?arnumber=5898...

My best experience with real world magnetic fields? Wires. It was mind blowing to be able to feel the field around a wire which we usually think nothing of. The power cable to the electric heater generated a field I could "touch" about 4-5 inches away! What does touching it feel like? Like touching a stream of air. :)

Even discounting the cruddy resolution of iPad screenshots, I'd say that I much prefer the Metro aesthetics even though I'm a big fan of Apple products in general. I think Metro is really a nice design paradigm since they focus on fonts and pictures, in other words the same elements of great web design and print. There are no gradients or design elements that would look dated 5 years from now. Whereas Apple designs need to be constantly refreshed and refined to keep the polish (it's a hard thing to pull off and for the most part they've succeeded at it).

While Apple seems more refined in many ways and pull off consistency with simple but rich designs, I feel like they've been going overboard with rich textures in the post Jobs era. Applications like Find your Friends on the iPhone, iCal and AddressBook on OSX Lion sacrifice simplicity and east of use to emulate "real world"-ish look and feel with faux leather textures that serve no other purpose than to "look" nice.

The more I see Metro the more I like it.
What really scares me is that somewhere, some code that looks like "%matrix = (); do 'init'; ..." exists. That's one way to implement config files, I guess...
Huh, I didn't realize that Metro doesn't support 1024x600. That doesn't sound like great news for netbook users.
Great suggestion, only in my case the contrast of the signatures to the backgrounds is not good, and this would be a problem with many works saved by Google as well. But it does give me the thought implementing this idea might be technically easier than I thought. Implement the saved signatures as images with the background whited-out and provide tools to easily bring a requested signature image into that state.
I agree it's regrettable. But it does seem necessary.

I think the point where it happened was when we, collectively, noticed that people were exploiting professional power asymmetry for their own sexual gain. Often at the cost of another human's dignity and self-respect – not to mention career prospects.

I take 4:20 breaks and try not to work on weekends but I'm still tired at times. I'm the founder of a startup that's about 10 months old and have to do most the work myself. Sales are so low I'm on welfare and I'm angry about that. I resent anybody who hasn't bought my company's merchandise. I can't afford the gas to go anywhere outside town much less the other costs of going on a trip to get away for a while. Any more genius ideas? Excessive talking about misdiagnosed selfishness doesn't count as an idea! The person who commented that doesn't know squat about psychology and needs a shrink.

I don't suffer from lack of inspiration. I have tons of ideas. I'm exhausted from working full time for so little reward.

I need financial incentive to keep going and to pay the bills; i.e., you buying merchandise!

I'm very confused about why this story has so many votes. spottedsun.com doesn't even resolve for me.
I think he's trying to say that he the lack of gender balance in tech has nothing to do with him, and since the things which women complain are lacking for them are not things he finds he needs, then the complaints are all a bunch of malarky - women aren't in IT simply because they don't want to be.

I disagree. Rather, I find the lack of any sort of root-cause analysis about _why_ women don't want to be in IT to indicate large blind spot in the author's understanding of the problem.
I don't think you can diminish somebody's complaints and then follow up with "this is not to diminish your complaints".

I've learned to just let my phases happen. I'll go weeks with amazing productivity and then just hit a wall and all I want to do is game or read. So as much as possible I try and get it out of my system. I find that trying to force myself to do work actually has the opposite effect. I sit there and procrastinate and get mad at myself. Its much more fun to clear out my work and just say, I'm going to game for three days straight. I get the same amount of work done either way and enjoy life a lot more.
However, if you need to interrupt your procrastination, I suggest travel. Get out of your routine, go away for the weekend with no electronic devices. Its amazing how much more motivated you are when you come back.
Sounds like another argument for more people to read "How to Win Friends and Influence People"[1]:

For the people making sexist comments, there are lots of interesting stories and points in there. But obviously you can't force people to read the book, and expect any difference!

However, it is very applicable for the OP also. Take for example this overview of one chapter:

How to Change People Without Giving Offense or Arousing Resentment:

Begin with praise and honest appreciation.
Call attention to people's mistakes indirectly.
Talk about your own mistakes before criticizing the other person.
Ask questions instead of giving direct orders.
Let the other person save face.
Praise every improvement.
Give the other person a fine reputation to live up to.
Use encouragement. Make the fault seem easy to correct.
Make the other person happy about doing what you suggest.

In the sense that evolution drives speciation, yes.

If you walk around alone in an unsafe neighborhood at night, you're asking for trouble. If you don't have a choice but to be in an unsafe neighborhood, hunker down and get to a point in your life when you can afford a safe neighborhood.

In the programming world, this translates to : become a great programmer, and you will find yourself in a great programming environment (birds of a feather...). If you really love programming, you will get to that point eventually.

Great programmers love programming, and love learning from other great programmers even more. That's why they'll never offend another great programmer or risk it all by indulging in bad behavior. (You can actually substitute "great programmer" here with "great any-profession". There might be exceptions, but in 15 years of programming, I haven't met any.)

When you don't have these types of programmers around you, whats left is the (sub-)average programmer, and the concomitant sexist environment.

Also, by wearing a low-cut blouse to a professional environment, you drive away those people who actually contribute to a good environment, leaving behind those that don't.

Biologically, men's brains light up when they see a woman's cleavage. The people who value you as a programmer will avoid you, because they recognize what's going on in their heads, avoid the distraction, and the risk of offending you. Heck, some of them might not even look in your direction. My advice is the same one I give my daughters: wear a scarf - it prevents the over-heating problem you mentioned. Its the same reason I wear boxers, rather than walk around in shorts.

You don't need to lighten up, just hunker down.

It can be viewed as a security vulnerability, as many folks use the same password everywhere. As such, if somebody compromises your user database, they now potentially have a recoverable password and a plain text email address to go with it. This potentially compromise all users' email accounts, as well as other services that use email as username, such as PayPal accounts.

If email addresses are obfuscated in some way, the difficulty for an attacker is increased.

The tradeoff in convenience is that you force a user who has forgotten his password to remember what email address she signed up with in order to recover it via email.
This is fun! There have to be millions of definitions of art, each one weirder than the next.

Your definition seems to include bizarre sentences like “When the creators can (maybe ‘sometimes do’ would be better here) change their work after they released it, that work is not art.” Maybe you qualify sentences like that further (and propel it to ever more bizarre heights) to only include changes made because of public pressure.

Throughout history, many artists took commissions. The ceiling of the Sistine Chapel was a commissioned work. Do you really want to tell me that if we were to find out that Michelangelo was asked by the pope (the customer) to change something after he finished and did so, the fresco would no longer be a piece of art?

Stuff like that makes me never want to use the word art again. Videogames as works to be appreciated by others most certainly do not have to hide behind any other works made for the appreciation of others.
Mal either died or kicked up a level. She used the top as a totem, not Cobb, and multiple people knew the properties of it. The top could not measure dream or reality while in Cobb's possession. His own dreams would render that totem useless.
This seems to be an overly simplified take. If Nolan had intended to make it clear that the final scene was indeed reality then he could have just as well shown the totem falling while Cobb walked away. It seems pretty clear that Nolan explicitly intended to leave it up to the viewer to decide what was "real" and what as not. This ambiguity between dream and reality is one of the most important themes in the film - Cobb spends the entire movie preoccupied with keeping track of reality, to the point that one could argue that Cobb's had been incepted to remain obsessed with identifying reality to the same degree that Mal had been incepted to perpetually believe that she was dreaming. When Cobb sees Mal in limbo at the end, she also makes point explicit - pointing out that Cobb has simply chosen to believe that his children "up there" are what is real and that Mal "down there" is not.

The final scene preserves this ambiguity, while underscoring the fact that the obsession with reality is no longer important to Cobb - he is finally at peace with where he is - real or not.
Yeah, the conversation here has been so much more enlightened.
Replying here since we reached the thread root.

> >You have given nothing to support the argument that treating someone as subservient based on gender 'ultimately does us good.'

> I never said this. Quote me where I said this, or I will be forced to regard you as a liar.

You said, in the context of the OP's complaint about "'subtle' sexism":

> We need to distinguish between small harms that ultimately do us good and large harms that are sending society on a destructive course.

If you weren't arguing the poster's issue with subtle sexism as was one of those small harms then you've just been going on a random tangent.

If someone accuses you of saying something you didn't mean, it's not necessarily because they are lying or making things up. It could be a misunderstanding, a misinterpretation or a lack of clarification on either side. Further, if someone summarizes or distills your argument and cannot source that summary verbatim, that also doesn't mean it's a lie or inaccurate.

> And I never said "small issues don't matter". Why make things up?

You said this:

> There are much bigger, structural problems to worry about right now. It's like we're on a boat with a hole in the bottom and every interest group is complaining that their feet are getting wetter than all the others.

which implies that people shouldn't be complaining about their feet getting wet because there's a bigger issue. It very much implies that you think small issues should be ignored in favor of the large issues.

Why is it wrong to ask for people to attempt to refrain from being subtly sexist? Is it really that difficult of a thing to do?

> Whilst falling you feel weightless - almost by definition (if you and the weighing machine are accelerating in sync, you apply no pressure to it).

Ah but how often do have a chance to feel weightless? Unless you are on a space station, bungee or parachute jumping? So the feeling of weightlessness itself is pretty startling.

Also it is the moment from when you are standing on something and get pushed over the edge and then all of the sudden you are falling that is quite startling.

Think back on a dream of you falling. Everyone has those. For me, it is always the weightlessness that is shake me up and wakes me.
