You objected to the upvotes, but do you actually disagree with me? I do not disagree with your claims. In your last paragraph, are you claiming that your suggestion is not only "achievable" and "doable", but simple enough to implement that the challenges don't bear mention in an argument for reforming academic publishing?

For elaboration, I endorse and agree with pseut's comment, he said more or less what I would say.

I recently served on a hiring committee in my own mathematics department. It is extraordinarily difficult to evaluate the work even of other mathematicians. In areas other than my own, I can distinguish bogus work from good work, but I find it difficult to distinguish good work from excellent work. Although we rely principally on letters of recommendation, and interviews (although we must of course first narrow our search down to a shortlist), we find that quality of journals is a good barometer for quality of work.

I would like to see publishing change as much as anyone, and I am a signatory to the Elsevier boycott (see www.thecostofknowledge.com). I believe we stand the best chance of effecting change if we seriously consider the obstacles standing in our way.
Luminosity/temperature/humidity inside a house or office is usually very different from the value outside. So these data are usefull for the user but not for a weather modeler.

But pressure inside a house is usually almost equal to the pressure outside. So it can be crowdsourced.

"Don't worry guys, I read about landing a plane once on the Internet."
kellishaver, thank you indeed for the detailed reply. Your journey that you have described sounds beautiful and certainly something worth cherishing for a lifetime. I agree with you that in the current day and age, it's hard to know oneself until one turns closer to 30. I am currently 33 and only in the past 3 / 4 years is when I seriously started meeting someone with a view to having a relationship with them.

The second factor that you have mentioned, about the odd sort of co-dependence is actually undergoing a rapid transformation. Several women these days are extremely comfortable with online interactions and things like twitter, facebook has actually created avenues of finding emotional support from someone other than plus one to be much much easier. This is actually creating some strange kind of issues which I don't think even existed 5 years ago. In fact, I might make a guess (based on empirical evidence around me) that there are more women who are very active on twitter/fb than men, among the people I know.

The realizations that you have shared are deep and insightful and they will certainly help me in my journey.
I have been on/off in a relationship since the past two years and it has been very hard trying to make sense of where it is headed. Sometimes I feel like I would like for it to continue forever, and then there are times when I know that it won't last more than a few weeks.

Your point 2 is well taken, though right now I am in the phase which is "even though they can, at times, be really hard".

It was wonderful to know that you have been in a 17+ yr relationship and things are working out so beautifully!

Thanks again, for sharing.
I don't think that cost is the main reason for getting this product. It's just convenient to always have soda water here without having to carry it through the city.

I recently bought one for convenience reasons (after i learned about th glass caraves) and am totally happy with it - I guess as more (young) people in the bigger cities don't own a car (and only buy small quantities of food in the supermarket around the corner), more will use products like SodaStream.

This wasn't an advertisement that was going to shock value, but crossed the line. This is an advertisement that was 'too competitive' with entrenched interests. CBS saying that its advertisement sales are not a 'free market.'

It's less disturbing then the issue with CBS + CNET + CES2013, but it shows a pattern.

> Your app won’t save the world.

> In fact, if the world is to be saved, it won’t be through human devices.

> Our image of primitive man is that he was a bumbling, grunting idiot.

Since the author is Christian (shown prominently anywhere his name appears), these three sentences make me question what he means by the word 'save.' If he means it in the 'spiritual Christian sense,' then of course no app will do that. And the 'our image' of primitive man seems like the Christian one, influenced by the concept of original sin.

> The world is governed much more by human nature than we’d like to admit, and human nature doesn’t change.

It seems to me that human nature can very much be influenced by technology. Slavery used to be commonplace, with many people (including the strongly religious) having no moral opposition to it. Massive atrocities throughout history have taken place because they were outside the public eye. Hateful words were much easier to speak in the past, before being caught by a recording device was a possibility. The fact that knowledge can now be spread quicker to the rest of the world (something that apps these days can sometimes help with) keeps a lot of this 'human nature' in check.

Just looking at the world today, it's hard to say that technology has not made a significant (and probably net positive) change in how people think and behave.

Many people probably would just torrent it, but there could be just as many people who have been on the edge about getting a Netflix subscription. This could push them over that edge, since they're not just getting the original content but also the entire Netflix library.

Additionally, on the flip side of the coin, original content could contribute to keeping existing subscribers.
For engineering, the best university is IIT(govt. funded) and BITS Pilani (private). To get into them, you must take their entrance examinations (which are very competitive).

The National Institute of Technologies are a group of universities that give direct admissions to foreign nationals [0]. But be careful, only a few highly reputed ones might give a competitive education.

There are other universities like ManipalTech[1], VIT[2] which also give direct admissions to foreign nationals.

I don't see how the fact that it's an Israeli company has much to do with it. Sounds like they would have denied the ad it if it were an American company too.
That actually sounds like a very good idea. I've heard that community colleges in US don't get the recognition that they deserve.
You know, it's funny. I said the exact same thing you did, then a friend convinced me to try iTerm2 about a year ago. I still couldn't put my finger on what's better about it, exactly, but I've never considered going back after the first day. It just feels right.

It's probably easier to try than it is to find out why to try it...

Thanks codegeek. The pointer you've made about relationships working out well between people who have similar life goals is absolutely spot on. I have intuitively felt that in-synch "life goals" is the single most important factor in challenging relationships and it was good for me to have this re-affirmed by someone else too.

The four points you've mentioned feel like the four pillars. Based on my recent experiences, I've found that it's easy to start losing compassion once someone gets comfortable in a relationship.

I'm right now in a phase of trying to know if my life goals are similar with those of the woman that I've met. The four points you've mentioned are going to be helpful for me.

Thanks!

This is stunningly wrong. Human nature is change, the ability to not only adapt to our circumstances but to effect them is the hallmark of Humanity.

The changing of cultural mores isn't something that just happens, it's something people do. And technology is just the creation of tools to do things. It won't magically make us better, but it does make us stronger when we choose to do good and be good.

He's also mistaken about Communism; it isn't doomed to fail because of some supposed incapability of humans for collective action (counterexamples: every organization ever). It's doomed because it's based on a misapprehension of the scalability of central economic planning.

This was a lesson learned at the cost of many millions of human lives, and it does them a disservice to not learn it.

I agree with that even if SodaStream were American CBS wouldn't have aired the ad (which honestly was created to get this exact article published), but I thought the nationality of each company underlined how irreverent using public airwaves are to this particular issue.

That is an outrage?

I've found iTerm2 to be extremely slow on large buffers compared to Terminal.
If we ignore the word "user" it feels (and is) a lot less like abuse and actually fits very well. Linux has a proven and secure method of isolating access, and on linux servers and linux on the desktop this is used by different users to protect them from each other (intentional or accidental). In Android it's more important to isolate access between apps, again protecting them from each other, intentional or accidental. Even for well intentioned apps, like Chrome or Flash, that kind of secure isolation is extremely desirable, and I don't see much value in a custom built sandbox over reusing the isolation that's already proven.
I try to avoid upgrading OSX. When a new version comes out, I wait for a hardware refresh and just get a new Mac (Apple has a nasty habit of disregarding backwards compatibility, and it's really nice to be able to do stuff like run older powerpc programs)

It implies to me that they have better things to do. The crimes blatantly committed during the last financial crisis could easily be keeping every available FBI agent busy now. Instead the way things are going we'll likely see the statute of limitations run out on many major criminals who actually harmed others.

def random_password(n):

Just kidding. That stinks. I'm guessing your password was quite strong. Any idea how many bits of entropy it was?

It sounds like at this point Twitter sent out the email in parallel with trying to figure out how these compromises happen. Since they salt the hashed passwords, they don't know how complex your password was. Of course, you should still change your password. I changed my 80-bit Linkedin password after it was stolen.

Wow, poor precious. Are you likewise insulted when the bank tells you not to keep a written note of your PIN with your card? As obvious as it is to you to ensure good password hygiene, it should be obvious that Twitter has a clear interest in encouraging less informed users doing the same.
I would love to try out your DB, but your build system is garbage, and I mean that in the most constructive way possible. I know you guys put lots of effort into it, I can tell as I am reading through it trying to get it to compile on my Fedora system. Please for all that is good in this world take the time _now_ and switch to a sane build system. I know its cool that you scripted everything in Make, but this is stupid how hard it is to build on Fedora.

I am putting together a patch and instructions for fedora, but this is silly.

EDIT: https://gist.github.com/4696023
Turned out to not be too big of a change BTW.
Hmm, I saw this story, changed my account password(s). Then I noticed that I'd already had the email.

The email said that the password had been reset (as in dewitt's post) but I'd just logged in - after the claimed reset - with the old credentials.

That's kinda worrying.
That's funny--as a python guy I was squirming for a set comprehension immediately:

>>> a = {'a':1,'b':2}
>>> b = {'b':3,'c':4}
>>> def keylist(*maps):
... return ', '.join(sorted({str(k) for m in maps for k in m.keys()})) or '<none>'
...
>>> keylist(a, b)
'a, b, c'
>>> keylist()
'<none>'

I'm sure people will have differing opinions on the readability of a nested set comprehension, but from the bullets at the top of the article to one-liner implementation in ~30 seconds. (For an arbitrary number of maps, no less.)

(edit: added '<none>' on empty, fixed formatting, whoops now I'm over 30 seconds :))
So, if you're saying that if you're descending through 80 feet AGL and you hear the stall-warning horn, you're going to pitch the nose down _first_ ?

Sorry - if I'm throwing in full-power first and doing whatever I have to do do to get leveled out and stabilized. Adding power in a single-engine will immediately increase airflow over the wings and thus _reduce_ the angle of attack.

Yes - you will have to fight the tendency of the nose to come up, but low to the ground there aren't really too many options.

It's basically a go-around, and the go-around procedure is power-first.

ATCs might be able to recover from a stall while only losing 100 feet, but most private pilots will need much more and an untrained pilot would not even get close.

Remote working is all great. One downside I notice is the blurring of work and home life, especially the working hours. I've drifted slowly to work later and later into the night. At one point I've shift working until 6am in the morning. That's time I decided to reset the clock and do regular hours again.
I understand where you're coming from, but I would argue that your true value add is discoverability or customer acquisition.

Payment processing can be added easily to any customer-facing website. One-time product fulfillment for any number of customers, for completed products all located at one place isn't too hard. Yes, packaging is a challenge, but there are dedicated e-fulfillment services like Shipwire that don't cost so much.

Assuming I have a product that I would like to sell for $100, after accounting for payment processing and order fulfillment (let's say at 3% and 5% respectively), that leaves around 27% for customer acquisition. So I have to decide if paying more than $25 to acquire each customer is worth it. If we're talking about Costco, Amazon, Walmart, maybe. Some inventors would give their first born to get on a Costco or Walmart shelf, probably for good reason too. I don't think Swish offers the same value proposition, at least not yet.

For there to be defamation, there has to be published statements that cause a "reasonable person" to think worse of the defamed person. eBay did not publish any statements where any third party could read them; these statements were a private exchange.

Because this is turning into a fun language code-off, here's something in Python:

', '.join(sorted(str(x) for x in set(map1) | set(map2))) or '<none>'

This works by making sets of the keys of map1 and map2, taking the union of those sets, converting each key to a string, sorting those strings, and joining them with ', '. And then if that generated an empty string -- if both dicts were empty -- then it evaluates to '<none>'.

Am I missing some difficulty here?

EDIT: and for an arbitrary number of maps, this one works:

import itertools
', '.join(sorted({str(x) for x in itertools.chain(*maps)})) or '<none>'

It iterates over all the keys of all the maps with itertools.chain(), converts everything to a string, adds everything to a set, sorts them, and then joins them with commas. I realize it's not a one-liner anymore because of the itertools import, but it's still pretty simple to follow.

I like Clojure, but for problems like this, it just doesn't seem to be doing quite as well as languages like Python.
They claim to have spectral analysis solutions. Does that mean they are going to zero in on the offenders? It is probably technically possible.
It sounds like you have a "fixed mindset" as opposed to a "growth mindset". You worry that you are not as skilled at X as you might like to be, but your focus should simply be consistently improving at X.

The y-offset at t=0 matters a little, but the magnitude of the slope dominates in the long run.
