Pick up a tablet (Android!), connect it to Wikipedia and google's Translate service, and you're a few steps closer to Douglas Adams' universe than he had the opportunity to see. Wikipedia launched just a few months before his death.

He actually started a project along similar lines:

All of the things you call "social problems" can be solved by disruptive technologies.

What if robots could install the fiber automatically instead of with construction crews and do it via overhead instead of underground cables? Social problem gone.

What if they could build the entire bullet train track cross country (Almost all of that multibillion dollar California train is labor)? Social problem gone.

Or how about ultra low cost solar, geothermal, and wind power, again with robots to set them up? You think the oil/coal lobby can politically compete against all of the industries they fuel? Social problem gone.

How about cheaper automated air transport that's not developed by Boeing or Airbus (monstrosities who, in my opinion, only innovate because at those scales its impossible not to)? Social problem solved.

Only on space travel can I agree with you, and just barely. Have a search through Google Scholar some time. Search for gas core (late 60's, early 70's), pulse (70s and 80s), dusty plasma (90s), and gasdynamic (00s) nuclear rockets. The technology is there, we just have to work out the details. However, the social problem we're trying to get over is the lack of FUNDING for radical (read: risky) R&D pathways.

It's of course much more complicated than that but and the end of the day the beauty of technology is that a new invention can cut through all the crap we humans have put up and it can change everyone's life for the better. (look at the internet: even with so many governments censoring it and controlling it we nevertheless are more connected than we have ever been and there is so little anyone can do to stop it)
Sounds like depression.
1) Its not the physically smaller or weaker part that is the problem - how often really do women need men to come rescue them? Is it any more than men needing women to rescue them? Why then are most of the video games, even the puzzle based ones where brains not brawn are the deciding factor, all about saving the women? It seems to me that there is certainly a curious imbalance there.

2) Strawman - parent is not demeaning the "weak and passive" so much as pointing out that a lot of video games present a wide variety of male types, but only the weak and passive female type. This is strange. The women I know seem to fall on a scale ranging from weak and passive to "alpha as fuck", just like the men.

3) Goalpost moving, true scotsman, and strawman rolled up into one: There is no argument here about orienting the games toward a gender, only the portrayal of genders within the games. If you think they are the same, then there is perhaps something else going on as well... basically there is some sort of assumption that games oriented towards boys should only portray men strongly. Which is weird, because how the hell would it appeal less to boys if some of the characters were strong women?

4) Actually a good point. Unfortunately mixed up in some sort of strawman - you are angry that people would like to see strong female characters in action games, so you are accusing the parent of only wanting action gams for kids - which is not evident in that post - and therefore hurting the chance for girls (who apparently can't like action games) to get good games for them. (I'm guessing that your conservative basis in reality suggests that means they need games about vacuuming, cooking and ponies).

Great dad
Does anyone have any direct experience using them? Curious - not familiar with prediction markets...
i really wish they wouldn't lock form into being horizontal or inline by putting a class on the form tag itself, but rather by using the fieldset tag. The whole reason is because sometime when you are doing a large form, some sections just flow better as an inline rather then a horizontal and vica-versa. I submitted a ticket about this a while back, but it must have been overruled.
I feel like if I had a more finite amount of email I would feel that way. I know I used to. I actually get tons of "blank emails" from users leaving my app open in their pocket and sending an email (something difficult to control due to Apple's remote view setup, and a restriction that Cydia can't come with Substrate). I used to feel those totally no-action-item-at-all emails were great, but then I ended up having hundreds of them, now thounsands. The result is that I finally just feel anger and try to pre-filter them (which isn't 100% effective as users have custom signatures that are long or complex sometimes).

I think I felt the same way with thank yous, but now they seem like a penalty, a cost I incur if I respond to a user and solve their problem. I think of it more like my job is to help as many people as possible in the time I have, and every X thank yous is one less legitimate question or bug report I'm able to find.

My response has been to do everything I can to rely on "indirect solutions". Like, if I can cause a user to get a refund email from PayPal, I know they don't need me to also tell them (in fact, by this same moral, we might even call the duplicate rude at this point ;P). That massively cut down my "thanks!" responses.

(Yes, I realize with even more email technology I might be able to better cheaply outsource the filtering. I am working on that. At some point, though, you wonder why you can't just solve the problem at the source ;P.)
If you're seriously interested in the anthropology, this is your guy:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Nathan_Cohen

EDIT: He's quoted in the article you linked, actually.
From the 2011 "Updated to include the latest guidelines and research" version of the canonical "The Paleo Diet" by the scientist Loren Courdain who started it all:

====

You'll be following the diet that every single person on the planet ate only 333 generations ago. ... Here are the ground rules:

1. All the lean meats...you can eat

2. All the fruits and non starchy vegetables you can eat

3. No cereals

4. No legumes

5. No dairy products

6. No processed foods

It seems like much more than a straw man or marketing copy.

For those that remember the original tv series (based on the books, of course, which were in fact originally a radio play), you will remember the shockingly bad special effects (themselves outdone only by Tom Baker era Dr. Who effects in terms of sheer awful). The one exception to the BBC standard guy-in-a-bad-rubber-suit effects in terms of quality was the animation of the HHGG screens. I was shocked to find out that they were, in fact, all animated by hand.

I've seen a doc about this, can't find it online now. Here's a brief clip of an example:

By hand... Reverse-Skueomorphism before it was cool.
"There was once a boy named Milo who didn't know what to do with himself - not just sometimes, but always.

"When he was in school he longed to be out, and when he was out he longed to be in. On the way he thought about coming home, and coming home he thought about going. Wherever he was he wished he were somewhere else, and when he got there he wondered why he'd bothered. Nothing really interested him - least of all the things that really should have."
What are you showing? This is just a name of a product that doesn't exist and it explains nothing. Is it an api so my apps can do this? An app that I would use to send sms?
Utter rubbish, in my experience: I've done it with no degree, and ~7 years out of the western workforce.

The US was OK but I much prefer Asia and Europe (for quality of life, languages, art, history and conversation).
You said the entire premise of this book is based on a straw man argument.
This means 'this book is trying to discredit claims about paleo diets that nobody actually makes'.

My point is that you are wrong that nobody makes those claims, here are some examples of people using exactly that description. Feel free to argue that it misrepresents the makeup of and the reasoning behind paleo diet, but don't argue they didn't say it. And if you've literally never heard someone arguing that they eat just meat and vegetables because our bodies evolved for it in the Stone Age and haven't had time to learn anything else, I envy you.

Here is a fun article about some people who self describe as being 'paleo', for an example of how this 'just marketing copy' is the same as the actual justification for paleo used by many people: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/10/fashion/10caveman.html?pag...
Ah! Cult of the Dead Cow.
Yes. Overused. This is one example of dozens from the Mario franchise that use this trope. Further, Nintento has pushd mario harder than most other franchises.

I really don't understand how you take issue because this game was the first, it seems disingenuous. It's like me saying "this is the first example of a digital computer. Digital computers changed, even revolutionized the world", and you saying "that was the first computer, it added some stuff it didn't revoultionize anything". Pure, unadulterated, disingenuous crap.
You grabbed a bunch of SEO-juiced search results to represent the entirety of the Paleo movement's stance?

No doubt the scions of many middle and upper-middle class NYT readers are having a hard time seeing the ROI on their liberal arts educations.

Yup. Wasn't meaning to disagree with anything you said. Just putting a different emphasis on it than you did.

I can't speak for everyone, but the citations your parent post provided are certainly characteristic of the typical claim I've heard paleo proponents make. There may be a difference between what the average user of the diet believes compared to those who spawned it though.
Definitely possible. I was just replying to the suggestion that he had "no motive" to smuggle drugs. $400K (and tax-free) is a lot of motive, even if you have substantial savings. Martha Stewart was worth millions and ended up in jail over what, $250K?
You're not a citizen?
I felt like my life was being described by the author. However, I don't feel like that anymore. My life changed when I got to be responsible for a kid. There's nothing I rather be doing instead of being with my child; there's no nagging in the back of my mind anymore telling me to go read some more, to come up with the next big thing, to hack something out, to work out math problems.

I still enjoy doing constructive activities, but it's no longer my life's purpose. For me, it's like seeing the 'big picture' of life. I remember, like the author, being extremely impatient with family life and social activities because I would rather be spending time building something, learning something new. Normal human activities seemed boring and purposeless. I made a promise to myself that I would never have a family for the fear of being too draining and becoming frustrated for not having enough time for my projects. All of that vanished in a couple of weeks after meeting my now wife's kid.

The kid I'm responsible for is not my biological child, so it's not just the instinct of caring for my own child that's at play here.

Perhaps that's why the most important scientific discoveries come before scientists have kids; it's not the responsibility and the time suck that impede growth, it's an overwhelming feeling of happiness and indescribable feeling of "doing the right thing" that rearing a child brings.

I honestly thought that child rearing distracted and frustrated parents because they HAD to become selfless. It doesn't feel that way at all. Self-growth seems superficial and meaningless now in the grand scheme of things, and I am a pretty ambitious and obsessed person.

I don't think it is disrespectful to search their emails though, Harvard is fundamentally an institution funded by donors. This scandal majorly damage the reputation of the institution and was embarrassing to high profile donors and alumni. Protecting that is obviously worth more to Harvard then whether or not professors feel they have academic freedom. The only problem with all of this now is that the public also knows the emails were searched. Seems Harvard can't keep any secrets anymore.
"Existence precedes essence." Since you exist (I assume you're not a bot, but I could be wrong) only you have the power to define your essence. I would say, it is every person's duty to do at least as much.
That's especially true for Russia. The quality of russian university education is extremely low. Youngsters go to uni in order to avoid mandatory enlistment. Indeed, russian army is hell, composed of criminals. So, in some countries (like, Russia) you really HAVE TO go to uni.
I have certainly been under the impression that Dr Loren Cordain was one of the biggest scientific names in Paleo, and I believe his books are some of the most popular ones on Paleo, which means that they are the entry to Paleo for many people. If you believe his thoughts are not representative of Paleo, you may want to go find a new name for your diet (and do be careful not to quote his research when explaining it).
I like the addition of the .btn-block class -- I'll definitely be using that for mobile optimization!
Depends on what you mean by mostly. If the quotes are meant calorie wise, then there is disagreement.

If the quotes refer to volume, then they agree. Most paleo authorities say that plants should fill most of the plate.

Anyone know what Pollan meant?

Signing does matter. Those may still be exploitable to run arbitrary code, but you cannot write code to disk that will get executed on start-up. The victim would have to open the same PDF every time they use their computer.
yeah I saw the page in one of my tabs, and said "waht is this crap?" and closed it only to find out in another tab that this page linked to that hideous site.
Maybe I misunderstood this because of what books I have been reading lately, but I really enjoyed reading this piece as a piece of irony. Apparently the word irony, pre-14th century had more to do with an author writing an opinion he or she did not hold, as if he or she did hold it.

When I read this as if the author doesn't believe that life is wasting his time, but is being ironic, because the inherent flaw resides within himself, and not within life, then I find the piece to be a really, really interesting and an exposing and humble read.
> russian army is hell, composed of criminals

I wouldn't generalize like that. Russia is a big place. There are all sorts of things happening, and it heavily depends on where you serve.
My friend is in Russian army right now, he has access to internet and posts on facebook occasionally. He's doing pretty good and the people surrounding him are all right.

Well here is someone "in the industry", who completely agrees with the need for coding literacy. I can program, but I'm not a "programmer" by any means, and it's clear to see in whatever client I work with (I'm a Big 4 Management Consultant, sorry), coding skills are becoming increasingly relevant. Macro skills are the tip of the iceberg, some industries such as investment banking and engineering practically require programming skills to find a job, as the previous poster stated. Sure they can write the requirements for an application, but mostly these are not applications, these are ad-hoc, on the fly, limited use models that need to be made and altered in time with market fluctuations or environmental conditions - far quicker than monolithic IT departments can respond (even with agile work teams).

I don't really care which way you phrase it, whether you see the programming as incidental or the job function as incidental is just a matter of perspective. The fact is, programming (or at least "soft" programming skills such as VB and SQL) are becoming increasingly essential for many of the top tier jobs in today's economy. Don't want to learn programming? No problem - I'll find a few million Indians who do.

Incredible to see how much work has put into Emacs development.
I feel Apple will largely win the mobile Enterprise market (now fairly open with exit of RIM) while Android will win over the Education market (newer growing market).

To oversimplify, IMO businesses are a little less cost sensitive than consumers and very concerned about security. I think Apple will push the security message against 'open source' to get their product across the line. Plus they do work a little more simply, so less training required.

Androids 'cheap' will let them win Education. The simple fact that if a school uses Apple products there will always be a few parents battering the principles door saying why do I have to buy this insert apple product when I can but an insert android product at 30% less.

And somewhere in there is Windows Mobile for enterprise if they get it right and a million other factors I don't know, don't exist yet or just make up the grey shades in my point I didn't bother to include...

Tl:dr Article is not worth reading but the tittle does initiate an interesting conversation as to what are the levers that drive businesses to choose their tech.
If you want interesting trivia, try the "personal life" section of Eric Gill's Wikipedia article though I warn you, it may well put you off using his fonts.
How does Streak work? Is it a browser add on I need to install or does Google let developers create their own hacks? Btw, you should also consider putting up ads of Steak on your website. I misread Streak for Steak, and have been craving for some medium rare steak. I wonder if Streak.com could become the Amazon of steak delivery.
The Note fits in a pocket. For the Tab you have to have a special pocket or a purse to carry it everywhere. Phablets are a compromise, but after you use the Note for one day as a phone, you will say "Wow, what a small screen my old phone has! How did I manage to use it?!"

Diseases of civilization are a function of congregation, not eating grains.

Obesity is the result of a caloric surplus. Cavemen didn't have that luxury.
In June 2012, the FBI arrested Michael "xVisceral" Hogue at his home in Tucson, Arizona and charged him with selling "malware that allows cybercriminals to take over and control, remotely, the operations of an infected computer."

First of all, I don't condone this behavior, and using such software for "ratting" should obviously be illegal, but is it really illegal to sell this type of software (or any malware)?

It seems incredibly dangerous to make software illegal based on it's potential illegal uses.

I recall a controversy about a "hacking tools" law in Germany a few years ago, but never in the US. What law would this fall under, if any?
Google unfortunately got punished by the financial cartel for doing that. Remember the IPO price was initially at $120-$130. And then during the quiet period, where a company can't defend itself, Wall Street commenced its hazing ritual. People don't remember this now, because Google is seen as successful, but there was all sorts of negative press doubting its business model and saying it was overhyped, and so forth.

Google was then forced to lower the IPO price to $80 or so. It's hard to say for sure, but that probably wasn't a fair price, as the shares were trading for more than double within 6 months.

Although they were also trading for 4-5x not too shortly after that, since the company was in a spectacular growth phase at that time, so it is hard to say.
I'm from India and I personally feel that India is not yet ready to accept non college graduates. No one acknowledges a non college graduate here. College in India is pretty much mandatory. In such an environment even though college education doesn't make a very big practical difference, it is important for one to go to college to achieve some kind of a footing for future ventures, either a job or a start up. Although this trend is slowly changing with students starting up at the college level and below.
Wherever the students feel that the college material they are provided with is not sufficient enough they are looking out for online courses and other material from the internet.
