There's plenty that's been written about trans issues and gender issues, much of which is available for free on the Web. Trans people are not unpaid tutors or teachers for cis people (if you don't know what "cis people" means, look it up). Do the research, and then come with questions that show you've done it.

Lucky you. I don't even know how to easily see a list of my organizations.

That works but is rather counter-intuitive...

That said, I would have sworn sometimes there's a small dropdown next to my username with the organizations in it. But right now I can't reproduce it.
Top reason for me: separation of presentation and content

Which, when actually practiced, is the biggest advantage raw HTML offers over anything WYSIWYG. Except with Markdown I don't even have to write out the HTML, and that practice of only caring about content (and addressing presentation later using styling rules) is naturally enforced by the beautifully limited syntax Markdown offers.

I disagree, voice command would be perfect for iWatch. iWatch shouldn't be just a "second touchscreen", a user should be able to interact with it. And the best way to interact with a device that lacks sufficient screen real estate is by voice command. It'll take significantly less time to just talk into your watch than taking your phone out and typing on a virtual keyboard.

Now imagine that large numbers of people got together and coordinated their time, energy, and money to solve big problems. There are a handful of super rich successful people and an innumerable number of problems.

What I really want to read in the press is how "100,000 hackers from the online site called [insert Hacker News/reddit, etc] worked cohesively for X years and were instrumental in solving problem Y."

Certainly there must be some problems where a large number of people can solve them together.

An Interview With Raspberry Pi Founder Eben Upton
Some people want to market to specific groups for good reasons. Is it possible some great services and ideas can come from smaller groups? Maybe even better service, better designed for a specialized, smaller group?

Demonstrated in our thread is intense negativity, lack of recognition and anti-support towards some people's gender identity -- and even a resistance towards writing about it.

If significant social biases exists, and alternative support networks remove social biases, is it potentially helpful?

If great technological people can be identified within specific groups better than before, why resist?

That research would benefit a NASA attempt to build a new launch vehicle as well, yet there's no way they could have done so at anywhere near the cost SpaceX managed (they even acknowledged that with a study).

We're not being armchair historians here, hypothesizing about a world where NASA never existed. We're talking about rocket development in the here and now. And in the real world of today SpaceX is able to build new launch vehicles about 5x cheaper than NASA could.
Yup, that pissed me off. $18 million is a warchest. I wanna hear about the dude who bootstrapped it to 500,000 users while working on a day job.
I live in Australia and I know our government isn't in that much debt compared to all the other countries. But I saw how the government spent billions of dollars inefficiently (Basically a lot of fraud, involving subsidies to people upgrading insulation in their house). During the boom we saved $20 billion dollars but after the financial crisis the government is now at -$80 billion dollars.

Really? The best Keynesians in the world managed to save 20 billion during good times and needed to spend 100 billion to prop up the economy when times are bad? Oh and the government estimates we will spend another $200 billion before we start saving again.

I doubt they will be able to save $320 billion to get back to where we started, before the next recession.

How is that sustainable? We'll be fine for the next 10 years. But seriously... "Don't blame Keynesian economics for the failings of the politicians" is like saying "Don't blame Communism for the failings of the people".

I'm not blaming the system. Just need to vote for the party that is going to keep the budget balanced. The system works fine, I just voted for the wrong party last election.

The key points are here:
"So where does this whole thing about the field-of-use restrictions (that prevent an independent implementation from being used on mobile devices) come into play. Why, it's in that separate TCK license referred to in Oracle's third slide above. But notice that in that slide Oracle maintains that "[t]hese restrictions prevent Apache Harmony from implementing Java SE." They do no such thing! Apache never signed the TCK license. That didn't prevent Apache from creating and distributing Harmony; it only meant that they couldn't call it Java or imply that it was Java-compliant, a point which Sun admitted (see Jonathan Schwartz's comment in the second Google slide).

Many of Oracle's claims and presentation in this case will be based on misdirection and creating a false understanding of Oracle's rights and Oracle's right to restrict the activities of others. The Oracle position is in direct conflict with the previous statements and actions of Sun upon which Google relied. If Google can keep the jury straight on these points, Oracle will be shown to have significantly overreached in bringing the copyright claims in this suit."

Apache started the Harmony project in 'co-operation' with Sun on the understanding that they would be given access to the TCK tests when they needed them. This was based on Sun telling Apache that they would 'waive' the FOU restrictions for Apache so that Harmony could claim to be Java (ie. it passes the tests).

IBM and others contributed significant amounts of code to Harmony - why, because having a truly independent version of Java has real value to them as they base a lot of their business on Java infrastructure.

Google got involved and licensed the Harmony libraries (which is fine, ASL allows that).

Oracle buys Sun and then does 180 degree turn on its stance for supporting Harmony (Oracle where one of the bug supporters of Harmony when Sun owned Java).

People just reading a tiny bit of the press on this and thinking they understand the nuances are almost certainly wrong. There is a lot of history around the licensing of the TCK and Oracle is trying to deceive people about the TCK license vs the license to use Java.

Oracle's behaviour ensured that Apache dropped out of the JCP (along with many other high profile open source people).

Simple In/Out 3.0 Released
I think developers tend to love backward-compatability while users hate it.

As a developer, it means we don't have to keep digging out the old projects and porting them to the new API.

As a user, it means we are left with systems that have many years of cruft and with features being held back from systems because they couldn't make it backward-compatabile.

I think most users are willing to pay any higher price that will result from developers being required to work harder to port their software.
I really like this, because it fits into how I work too. I'm much better with one 60 hour week and one 20 hour week (or an 80, 0) than I am with two 40 hour weeks.
Special Relativity is easier to understand than General Relativity. On a systems-category/wicked-abstract level it's like "Macroevolution" and "Microevolution".

Special relativity is like how if a car going 50 mph east collides with a car going 50 mph west it's the same situation as a car going 100mph hitting a stationary wall. When a train is moving at 35 mph and you're driving 50 mph in the same direction and you're passing it at 15 mph, that's special relativity.

Everyone knew about 'special relativity' Galileo wrote about it, it was a label put on something really everyone always knew. This is similar to how everyone knows about "microevolution" farmers and herdsmen have been manipulating animal and plant DNA for centuries. "Macroevolution" like general relativity required a global perspective.

Einstein wrote about General Relativity for the first time ~ 1907, it is the idea that everything that moves moves at a rate that is relative to the speed of light.

General relativity has the implications for the clocks and the twins where one goes off in a rocket ship and comes back and the Earth twin is so old. Einstein's theory had it's basis in differential geometry and was verified by Arthur Eddington's snapshots of starlight that bent as it passed through the Sun's gravitational field in 1919. The comment you're replying to had the two topics switched around.

>Some areas of life require a delicate moderation of technology, and education is one of them.

Care to explain why? The GP had some valid points and your rebuttal is that he or she 'hasn't done their research,' without making a single valid point. The metaphor about 'watching people interact with tablets' is not at all what GP mentioned. He suggested that teachers design what interactions take place, and take a proactive role in ensuring that their interactions are effective, while still injecting 'human' aspects of teaching.
I've done quite a bit of looking around re: 433 Eros's composition. I have found very little to suggest to me that there's large amounts of valuable minerals there. Can you cite someone that's done a composition extimate?
This: http://www.psrd.hawaii.edu/Feb02/eros.html suggests such estimates are spotty at best, since the formation of the object hasn't even fully been agreed upon.

I'd welcome the evidence about precious metals coming from collisions, that meshes with some of my understanding of the early solar system, but would be glad to know more.
I think markdown could be the lingua franca of publishers. HTML would be the best, but it's a bit to specialized. Where as markdown walks the line of being specialized yet easy enough to learn that it won't scare away brand new users. I mean markdown can interpret plain text into something useful. If enough non-technical sites adopted markdown, front and center, it could spread widely.
Slightly tangential, but I recently started using Mou (http://mouapp.com/) and am totally hooked. Now, almost everything I write, I write in Markdown.

Just in case it hasn't been considered, this is all stuff that can be negotiated with the original company.

To be fair, it's not so simple.

Elon Musk is an exceptional individual, he has a degree in Physics and he taught himself engineering and "rocket science". Not everyone is capable of replicating what he has done, regardless of the money involved. The average case of a billionaire dumping money into aerospace ends up with the billionaire having less billions and nothing much of consequence occurring in aerospace.
I think that the more important question is, when another company wants to do space exploration in the future, will they also get access to NASA's expertise? Otherwise, the taxpayer's money has been used to create a barrier to entry for the (future) competition.
I'm sorry if this is offensive, but try expanding your horizons.

I love music, and I decided that I spent too much of my life staring at a screen, so I took up the guitar. I am terrible at it, but the feeling you get beating a hard boss on xbox is only a pale shadow of the feeling I get when I am playing music (even badly). And the feeling I get when playing music by myself is only a pale shadow of what I feel when I get together with some friends and some beers, and we play music together.

I love eating, and I found I was spending too much money at fancy restaurants, so I decided to learn how to cook. Cooking dinner during the week after a long day of work is bullshit, but going out on the weekend to a farmers market, getting amazing ingredients, coming home and making something that is wonderful is an amazing feeling. Even more then that, sharing it with your wife, or the rest of your family is even better. Watching people you care about close their eyes with pleasure after taking their first bite of the food you put your heart into is really wonderful, and hard to beat.

Last thing is programming. I am really good at programming, and spend a lot of time perfecting my craft. Several years ago I found I no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't make a good UI to save my life, I didn't enjoy the software I made. So I decided to change that. The first time I solved a problem for someone with software, and did it in a way that left them amazed and delighted, I felt better then all those years banging around with frameworks and sql statements. It was even a small rush either, it was something that was downright addictive. Nowadays I call myself a front-end developer, and I love collaborating with good designers to bring great software to life. But it isn't about twiddling bits for me, it is to make parts of other peoples lives that were kind of rough and not pleasant more joyful.

Creating is hands down the most fulfilling way I can use my time, to the point that consuming is only something I do now if I am too beat from doing creative things. I like to pretend I'm a gamer, but I can't really play a game for more then a few hours now without feeling bored and unfulfilled. I love to read, but nowadays the most time I have for fiction is to wind down before sleep, or in audiobook form on my way to do something else. I used to spend so much time and gain so much enjoyment out of those activities, but actually taking the time to get ok in a few creative disciplines, and the years I spent enjoying those things seem pale by comparison.
Annoyingly, it seems the Graph API just can't do much of what it seems it ought to be able to. So far as I can tell, Facebook doesn't offer any convenient way for me to read my friends' information -- that I have access to, on Facebook -- by automated means. (Or other people's info that's publically available.) This means I can't write a tool that makes a contact-info-list for me; if I want to assemble a list of phone numbers, for instance, I have to do it manually. (For phone numbers in particular -- but not for other things -- Facebook used to do this on the website, but this seems to be gone.) Nor can I do simple things like, say, given two people, whose friendslist I can view, determine which friends they have in common. Facebook lets me see mutual friends of me and another person, but not two other people. These are basic tools I should be able to write, but last I checked, the capability just wasn't there.

In any conversation about Markdown, I think it's appropriate to mention Textile [1] as well. Textile is fairly similar, intended to fulfill the same niche of markup with slightly different syntax. Personally, I prefer textile because I think it's a bit more expressive, though I'd rather be writing LaTeX...

Facebook making breaking changes does piss people off. It's interesting that it doesn't kill the apps. I can't remember any single change Facebook have made - possibly just because tere's so many - but I do remember when twitter made everyone switch to OAuth. People complained about that kill date.
How about email without spam, guaranteed, as just one example?
But why are those jobs necessarily "shit jobs"? Isn't that an even more condescending attitude?

The jobs you mentioned (mines, truck driving, fast food, janitorial) involve moving things around in the physical world. When the work is done, it's clearly and perceptibly done. In certain key ways this is less mentally stressful than information work. And nowadays even a janitor can afford an apartment, computer, smartphone, and internet connection.

For those positions you mention that pay less (janitorial, fast food), the demands and training requirements are less. For those that pay more (mines, power plants), the risks are higher but the training requirements are also less.

And in each of these areas, you do have some fraction of people who are ambitious, who care about the technologies involved, and who get promoted. It's not like software engineering is the only interesting thing out there.

I think the takeaway is to examine the effect a job can have on you. It can go both ways.. if you do something you're incredibly passionate about but it physically/mentally wears you out, that can just be as bad as taking a job you have no interest in that makes you question life.

A National Security Letter would do just as well, and at least two years of data need to be at the government's disposal.

Wow, I had forgotten what it's like to work in a world where I have to manage this drudgery myself. This is exactly why I build on App Engine.

Before all the haters reach for the downvote button: I have apps that routinely go from 2-3 requests/sec to bursts of 500+ requests/sec for hours at a stretch and the only difference is that my bill is a few tens of dollars higher than usual. And there's no reason it couldn't handle 100X that load as long as I keep paying the bill.
Either of the two workflows you mention are easily doable with dotCloud. Building locally (as you do today) should be fine: the dotCloud command line client uses git or hg (whichever you're using) by default, but can fall back to rsync if you want to push untracked changes[1].

In the long run, though, it's probably better to include the Brunch step as part of your build. With the new version of the dotCloud Python service[2], you can hack the build script[3] to do whatever you want. For simple build tasks, there's one version of Node already installed, but you could also poach part of the Node build script[4] to install another version, if you need it.
