There is a lot of work going on to develop 3D printing as a mass manufacturing process. It is improving rapidly, but you have to understand that in the physical world progress is always slower than in software. 3D printing isn't a small change in manufacturing process (like more advanced CNC machining is) but a completely different approach. The level of investment, testing and iterating required to produce 3D printed components which demonstrate proven reliability and lower costs than existing processes is high.

The aerospace industry are actively pursuing 3D printing as a manufacturing process. Selective laser sintering allows shape-optimised parts to be built out of titanium - something that we cannot do any other way - which will lead to upwards of 50% weight savings. It will make a huge difference in the weight (and so efficiency) of aircraft. The issue is that the aerospace industry operates on the principal of proven heritage. The 787 may be the newest large airliner, but there's nothing in it that we haven't been using elsewhere for 20 years. Space is even slower at adopting new technologies - reliability is key.
Hmm, generally a corporation would seek payroll integration with attendance info (since they are linked, and why would anyone bother entering employee details multiple times).. Just my 2c, after all no one ever knows the market :) Best of Luck!
That doesn't really make a lot of sense. Cell phones existed in 2004. So did "smartphones". Really, the only major difference that you could use the word "market" to describe is the notion of a platform for general-purpose mobile computing, the key part of which is a general market for apps, instead of just baked in features on a phone.
Wait, so it isn't even worth prioritizing a field which heavily influences pretty much all of today's economy and the influence will only grow in the future. Your input about business proposals is certainly valid, but it dodges the issue at hand.
This is certainly an interesting study, but I can't help being seriously disappointed by this part:

Sometimes when I hear people railing against porn, declaring it as the downfall of society, a poison infecting masculine minds and demeaning female ones, I wonder what kind of porn they’re talking about.

[...]

So when I hear somebody claim that porn is ‘degrading’, I can’t help but ask: which porn?

If you think most porn isn't degrading, then you need to look a bit closer and think a little harder. I've already posted my views [1], but I'll copy & paste the relevant part here:

First of all, there's very little porn out there where the woman truly enjoys the experience. It's not always glaringly obvious (although we'll get back to that in the next point), but if you actually stop and look, you'll see the discomfort and/or indifference very often.

Second, a lot of porn out there focuses on and glorifies the woman's suffering, pain and degradation. Seriously, you only have to read the word "painal" once to realize that. However, if that's not enough, you might also look for the occurrences of "choke", "gag", "destroy", "slut", etc.

Third, even the porn that doesn't focus on pain teaches wrong stuff. One might get the idea that the only thing a man need do to make a woman enjoy sex is to pound her fast and hard. On top of that comes the whole issue of hygiene: the way anal is portrayed means that if you try it at home, your female partner will likely end up with an infection.

Fourth, it creates unrealistic expectations. Let's just say that gag reflex is not as easy to suppress as the porn makes you believe and that anal sex is not a matter of just sliding in any time you want.

TL;DR: No, it's not just about whether the sex if fun or boring.

Finally, I find the claim that "female porn stars dictate the type of sex they have by listing in their modelling profiles the acts they’re willing to perform on camera" to be disingenuous. It propagates the idea that everything is okay and whatever isn't okay is "her fault".

When stock prices fall, where does the value go?
Yes, the worst thing about HN is that it's work related enough that you can sort of justify counting checking it as "work", indeed I've read things in HN comments and articles that have been very useful to my work.

On the flipside, I'm sure in practise it is a net time waster.
Some fast food workers were expected to turn up for work, and when the restaurant wasn't busy they'd have to clock out, but stay in their waiting room until they got busy, when they'd have to clock in.

That counts as work under the EWT. Any time you have to be on the premises, counts as 'work' under the EWT Directive.

I simply assume that with "type system" you mean "statically typed language" since lisp is strongly typed, which implies having a "type system": bigloo & typed racket demonstrated that static typing & lisp/scheme aren't incompatible. That prediction was rather unlikely to come true, anyway.

Opera really needs to focus on their core product: the browser. Its truly lost its way. I uninstalled the desktop version a few months back because of it's so flaky and unreliable.

On the iPhone, it's being blown away by upstarts like 360, Mercury and especially the slick Dolphin browser.

Chrome is still the best browser IMO, but like I said in an earlier comment, IE9 is surprisingly snappy. Stop being a snob and try it out.

As for Opera, can't truss it.
> 5. Lisp will be in the top 10 most popular programming languages by 2010. This failed hard.

I don't know about hard. I can now imagine a day where Clojure is the predominant JVM language--whereas if you told me five years ago a Lisp would be even as popular as Clojure is now, I would have scoffed.

Now, the by 2010 part is wrong, indeed. But I see these predictions as being more about acceleration than current velocity.
> We got NoSQL (esp. JSON based ones) instead of XML. Close enough though.

JSON is basically XML with 50% less bullshit. It does less but it does it so much more elegantly than XML - and has the further benefit of a syntax similar to that of structured data in such languages as Javascript (duh), Python and Ruby - that it was a shoo-in to squeeze XML out of most non-enterprise uses, at least on the data transfer format side.

However, to this day most data still resides in SQL databases, which have the net advantages of speed, stability and reliability that come from long lead time. What has changed is that object-relational mapping has gotten vastly better than it was in 2004, so programmers can mostly enjoy the best of both worlds.

There's also the fact that SQL is an easy enough DSL to understand, read and write that it isn't a barrier to use even in edge cases where ORMs fall down.
Mobile can be way to capture desktop too. If you decide to use Opera on mobile, sync (Opera Link - http://www.opera.com/link/ ) can convince you to use it on desktop as well.

I would especially love having sessions accessible on both devices. I believe it's not possible at the moment.

There are dozens of possible ways to implement this in a distributed, atomic or near-atomic, low-impact way.

* One way is to have a list in Redis, just pop a dyno off it (atomic so each dyno is popped off exactly once), send the request to that dyno, and as soon as it's done, push the dyno back on the queue. 1RTT incoming, and let the dyno push itself back on after it's finished.

* Another way is to use sorted lists in Redis, increment/decrement the score based on the connections you're sending it/returning from it. Get the first dyno in line which will have the lowest score. This is harder but maybe more flexible.

* Presumably they already have a system in place in the router, that caches the dyno's a request to a particular app can be sent too, which includes detecting when a dyno has gone dead. Just use that same system but instead of detecting when it has gone dead, detect if it has more than 1 request waiting for it.

etc...

But in the end, 2-3 extra roundtrips for each inbound request is peanuts, that's the least of the problems with these ideas. That would add maybe 10ms? to each request. It's not like the servers are on the other side of the world. They're in the same datacenter connected by high-throughput cabling.
They've got them peppered through the Urals. Lots of Cold War silos in that neck of the woods, and definitely active ABMs - saw them being driven just outside of astrakhan in the dead of night last year.

Also, kaz is full of Russian military hardware. Baikonur for instance is definitely covered by ABMs, as to not do so would be an untenable risk as far as Russia is concerned.

Heroku doesn't (necessarily) host open source projects. And Github hosts source code, not applications.

Although Github may be more on the mark here then heroku since it is hosting git.

But I agree with dools, I think this prediction was about services like wordpress.
they are a lot of differences:

You can exit and drive a few miles into a town to find a gas station and fill up in 2 minutes.
If you filled your tank you know what you have inside, it will not drop due to temperature (relatively speaking)

A tow truck can ultimately bring you gasoline.

I think the practical significance of this kind of incentives is overrated. The company I work for does outsourcing work, paid by hour.

I'm pretty sure you're wrong about that. The last time we had a corporate controlled monoculture there really was little practical reason to switch away from Microsoft to Mozilla except the idealism of fighting against corporate control, in fact, there were plenty of practical reasons not to switch since a big chunk of the web at the time worked only on IE browsers. But significant people did switch, enough to make a difference.

You raise a very good point here. IMO there should be a big push in the pedagogic branch of CS. It should be a requirement for math teachers to study, just like manual division algorithms. I was lucky to have a math teacher in high school who pushed this subject out of her own will. However in my home country (Switzerland), what we call high school is only visited by about the top 20% of pupils, the others go non academic routes.
I find it fascinating that all the hackers start from scratch instead of creating a plugin which takes the templates, tools, & posts they already have on wordpress and figure out how to create a plugin which does more intelligent caching or even creates a static site.

It depends who you call centrist and who you call right and left.

Quite a lot of people who read the economic section of the economist think that it represents consensus economic opinion, as opposed to the political sections, which are pretty well known to be faintly libertarian. Even if you exclude socialists the economic section is putting forward a strongly Keynesian point of view and while Keynesianism is popular it is not a consensus.

In that the Economist generally supports fiat currencies and central banking, the economic section is "left wing".

Nobody really debated health insurance in the US in 1980, because over 80% of Americans already received health insurance from their employer. Now it's barely two-thirds [0].

And to tie it back to the OP, it also means education for those high-skilled jobs will be the best way to ensure economic advancement.

This is really unclear. For example, if education is primarily about signalling rather than skills (lots of evidence suggests it is [1]), all you do is waste resources on a signalling arms race.
