I doubt being well versed in philosophy is relevant to most scientists nowadays, at least from a practical standpoint.
As I heard Michel Serres put it a couple years ago : « Today's society produces ignorant technicians and cultivated [put any word describing someone that can't count up to two] » (roughly translated from the original French). And they do fine by it, apparently.
But it is damageable to ignore some fundamentals, from Pythagoras to Descartes (regarding science).

As I think about it, it comes to me that whether philosophy is or isn't necessary isn't relevant.
Empirical necessity doesn't sums up human aspirations, and music or poetry play in the same field.
Philosophy is a way or structuring certain angles of thinking, and that's pretty cool.

While I agree with you that MS Office has -in general- the most features of any common WYSIWYG document suite (note: that's just how I categorize this kind of software), Word isn't really the best example for it. Pretty much any feature in Word can be matched with LibreOffice and most can be matched with iWorks Pages (while the later is worlds simpler to use). What distinguishes MS Office the most IMO are:

1) smart art in PowerPoint

2) most of the data analysis and pivot table tools in Excel

3) powerful and mature, albeit cumbersome scripting support (VBA)

These features are important for a multitude of reasons, but for those who only need a good word editor, MS Office is certainly not a necessity anymore.

On the other hand: the rest of the world has benefited a lot from the Indian pharma industry's growth. The same companies that you're criticizing are actually subcontracted by Bayer, etc. to produce their products so they can be sold in the developing world. If Indian did not produce these medicines, they would not be available to the poor at all. So at least they're saving lives that the developed world wasn't interested in saving.

Secondly: historically, Indian pharma growth was stunted due to old British laws. Once the industry was unshackled, it grew at a breathtaking rate, mostly by building generic variants of well-known drugs. This has allowed the Indian pharma industry to develop enough local expertise about formulation, manufacturing and distribution. Now they're moving up the food chain by patenting new drugs. Ranbaxy Labs, for example, is busy filing patents[1].

You can't expect the domestic industry to just sprout up organically. The Indian government never spent much money on R&D, so there wasn't much local drug research. But now that they're under the same patent regime, the Indian industries will have to figure out a way to survive.

Having said all this: please don't assume that Western drug companies' hands are clean. They are busy trawling the jungles of Amazon (among other places) to find new compounds, often taking knowledge from local shamans, etc. without any respect for their "IP".

Java is preparing to co-bundling and native binaries
I'm troubled by the invisible UI stuff, including the hot corners. And I'm worried because knowledge of these features is required to operate the system at a basic level. That's kind of frightening. Not insurmountable, but frightening.

I think OSX's interface elements are more approachable than these hidden elements, given his(and most people's) prior experience. If you've used Windows, you're not going to be a stranger to drop down menus or desktop like icons (a la the dock).

And I agree that the invisible user interface elements will be a nightmare for IT people around the world. But to be frank, I don't want to restrict change to things that make IT folks happy ;) (Of course, I'm not a company worth a few hundred billion dollars whose livelihood depends on enterprise acceptance...)

I'm interested in seeing how long it will take for these 'new' UI concepts, where screen edges and corners are elements to be touched and modified, to sink into the general consciousness. It seems to have sunk into the OSX world rather quickly. Now it's time to see how the other 90% cope with it.

Transportation Department Takes Aim at Distracted Driving
The Department of Transportation will spend another $2.4 million to combat cell phone use while driving, Transportation secretary Ray LaHood announced today. The department also issued a detailed plan pressing for states to pass laws and the auto industry to adopt technology to reduce distracted driving nationwide. The “Blueprint for Ending Distracting Driving” and the department’s “Phone in One Hand, Ticket in the Other” enforcement program are the latest actions aimed at what LaHood called an “epidemic” of distracted driving, which is responsible for 3,000 deaths annually—with teens and young drivers being at particularly high risk. The $2.4 million layout will expand the pilot program “Phone in One Hand, Ticket in the Other” to California and Delaware in the fall. The program will examine whether “increased police enforcement coupled with paid media and news media coverage can significantly reduce distracted continue

This frequency is protected because there is a gap in the absorption spectrum of our atmosphere. This is not the same for every atmosphere, so other planets will have different gaps (unless the composition of gases is similar enough), and thus it won't make too much sense right now to single out this frequency for other civilisations. AFAIK we don't broadcast, because it would interfere with astronomic measurements.

Nothing has been said about packaging for Android or iOS. From the info that's actually in the article -- currently it targets desktop applications.

From my point of view, iOS is extremely improbable target unless Apple changes their application requirements. Currently they do not allow use of any 3rd party JIT on iOS and Java is all about JIT.

Moreover JavaFX doesn't even run on Android or iOS at the moment (even without this new kind of packaging).

The proposition that the article makes is not that anecdotal stories must be false, but that they might influence the reader more than they should. Thus they should not be encouraged.
> That's not an operator, that's a lambda. The end result is the same, but semantically it's very different.

It's not, actually. In most functional languages — including F# — operators are just a special case of functions. Haskell will let you both use operators as (prefix) functions (via sections):

Prelude> (/) 42 2
21.0

or use functions as (infix, binary) operators:

Prelude> even `filter` [0..20]
[0,2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20]

and operators are defined exactly the same way you'd define functions:

Prelude> let (><) a b = a * b in 3 >< 4
12

although you can define them infix if you prefer:

Prelude> let a >< b = a * b in 3 >< 4
12

then again, you can also define functions using infix syntax:

Prelude> let a `add` b = a + b in add 3 4
7

You can also partially apply operators (again, via sections):

Prelude> :t (1 +)
(1 +) :: Num a => a -> a

in roughly the same way you'd partially apply functions:

Prelude> :t map (+ 1)
map (+ 1) :: Num b => [b] -> [b]

> Passing around an operator means you don't need to know the types involved

Uh? You need to know them in exactly the same way you do for functions.

> you can have a function that operates on any two values and applies an operator to them.

No, you most definitely can't, both operators and functions are typed. They work the exact same way but for the syntactic difference that operators are infix and may have precedence junk on top. But that's parsing, aside from that, a functional language will treat functions and operators the same way (outside of the odd builtin)

> I haven't left philosophy because everyone in it is stupid, as this article seems to suggest. I left philosophy because after all my reading, note-taking, class-discussioning, and debate tournamenting, I never felt like I'd made any progress, and that mattered to me personally. At the end of the day, the questions that were hard to answer were still unsolved, and the gray ethical areas were still gray. This is why I don't do philosophy, and I why I found the science bug.

I get your point, but for all intents and purposes that's one of the things that makes philosophy great, i.e. the fact that Heraclitus's sayings are as actual today as they were 2,500 years ago. You'll also have to agree that deciding once and for all (or "proving" by scientific means) what makes as taking "moral" decisions, or if "morals" even exist at all, or what makes us not kill each other once we've stopped believing in gods etc., is better left "unresolved", because this "philosophical quest" is what makes us humans.

In your example, A is not relating a statistical or experimental finding, but instead dispensing commonsense knowledge which happens to be objectively false. It's not what the OP is talking about.
Let's take an example, since they seem to work best: vaccines.

Vaccines protect you from the risk of contracting particular diseases, some of which are crippling, lethal, or incurable. Plus, most are extremely effective: once you take your shots, you are effectively immune. That's good.

There is a downside however. Sometimes, vaccines have side effects. Most side effects are quite benign, but if you're unlucky enough, they can be crippling, lethal, or incurable. That's bad.

From a medical point of view, vaccines are a net good (let's leave aside logistic considerations, or the effort required to go to the doctor). When you look at the stats, you stand a much better chance at life and health if you take the shot. Even for relatively minor illnesses like the flu.

Now, let's say someone post a heartbreaking comment about how her 9 year old daughter died of a vaccine shot, with all the gory details about the suffering, how she couldn't participate in her school's festival, the size of the coffin… I'm quite sure there are stories of the kind. Given the sheer amount of readers here, maybe one of you will more or less directly relate to that. My apologies to those who do.

Nevertheless, what makes a good story doesn't necessarily make good evidence. When you know of reliable statistics, and you read a contrarian anecdote, you should shift your belief in the direction of the anecdote by a precise amount, which is almost always tiny. What your brain will actually do behind you back however, is shifting your belief by a significant amount, often crossing the "reasonable doubt" line. That's not rational, but that's what will happen. Nameless statistics feel abstract, remote. An anecdote on the other hand feels concrete, real, close. Worse, you can spend far more time reading about the salient anecdotes than learning about the end results of reliable, but boring, scientific studies.

Another example: you don't win the lottery. Period. You don't know of any close family of friend that ever did. But maybe one of you readers do. Maybe that one could comment and say "Hey, but my cousin did win the lottery!". Would that prove me wrong? Not at all. It's just that when the sample size is huge enough, even the tiniest chance can actualize.
Quite. Given that the PC market, which I believe is the source of their highest margin sales, seems to be shrinking, perhaps high-handedness with potential allies is not the wisest course of action.
