Hmm, cool problem...maybe a small circular patch, kind of like a band-aid, and you stick it right over the meatus (the "eye" if you will). The band-aid itself has an elastic reservoir in the center that fills up just like a condom's. That way you'd have pretty much all your sensitive parts still directly exposed. The main challenge would be a user-friendly way of cementing that sucker to the head of the penis though. Bioré pore strips are ridiculously clingy to skin (don't ask how I know), but take a while to apply. Maybe something in that vein? Would probably need something that chemically reacts/bonds to skin (a band-aid's level of stickiness just wouldn't be enough), but is soluble in some other gentle chemical.

"What would happen if teachers were not unionized and had to compete for their jobs?"

That only makes sense if the schools are all private. Keep in mind that public schools are not for-profit institutions, they are constantly at the mercy of the government. Without unions, what you get is a system that pits individual teachers against the government itself, which means each individual teacher is now at the mercy of the mob. Unions have their flaws, but it would be far worse if teachers had to constantly worry that the latest political climate will cost them their jobs or their salaries.

"My gut feeling is that the rich have nothing whatsoever to do with the problem"

Your gut feeling is wrong. Wealthy people spend a lot of time ensuring that their children receive a quality education; few volunteer to improve the education of the poor in any meaningful way (like ensuring that the poor learn enough to attain any real power). Wealthy people oppose stronger progressive tax systems, but have little to say about public lotteries and other regressive taxes.

The entire system of credentialism -- the use of a degree to judge a person's merit -- is an invention of the wealthy, and it is by far the most destructive force in education today. The idea that one must be educated in order to be employed has been pushed by the employers themselves, and those employers are generally owned and controlled by rich people.
I think the point of structured education (school, university) is to guide you through a topic. When you learn completely autonomously, you can end up with knowledge that is not as relevant as you wished. University courses provide a collection of stuff you can learn.
I find smart stay and the multi windowing very helpful.
“⌘” is the key that the USB HID spec calls “GUI”. It is the same key as (for instance) “Meta” on Sun keyboards and the Windows logo on MS keyboards.

Now you know how to press it.

Your next problem is that much Linux software (Chrome included) insists on using the MS Windows convention of overloading Control for menu shortcuts. This is a great nuisance when you want to be able to use, for example, both Control-V (the conventional LNEXT character in *nix consoles) and GUI-V (the conventional Paste shortcut in GUIs).

Pre-Linux X programs tended to get this right, since they were not focussed on slavishly imitating MS Windows. Apple got it right somewhat accidentally — the original Mac keyboard had no Control key at all, and it got added to support familiar editing and remote terminal uses.
I found meditation really did help me a lot in graduate school. And I'm talking only 5 to 10 minutes a day.

It shouldn't be so surprising that an ability to concentrate is a skill that can be improved, and that the best way to improve a skill is to directly practice it!

> The point of not being able to read a whole book seems like bunk to me, though, since I read for recreation, and it takes the amount of time it takes. I can't sit and read a whole book, just like I can't sit and watch a whole season of a television show.

I don't that's what the article refers to -- it's finishing the book at all, not just in one sitting.

This is just not true. If you look at immigrant software engineers, they are usually married by 30 and then start having kids.
I feel like Foursquare had their biggest revenue thunder stolen by the hype around the Coupon companies.

They had a major opportunity to be a universal customer rewards program, using checkins as a proxy. But that has to be a much tougher row to hoe after the rise and fall of Groupon et al, and the stories of burned businesses in their wake.

I also think they missed the boat a bit on social. They had a chance to focus on building communities of people with geographically similar habits, but I don't think they ever found the way to make it click. I don't know what the revenue model would have been there, necessarily, but it does feel like they missed an opportunity with it.

This reminds me of Mozilla's Ubiquity a few years ago [1]. You could write commands for it with JavaScript that would make http requests as you type and render bits of HTML. It seems Ubiquity no longer exists, which is a shame.

I'd love to see something like this that integrates with the browser or command line. Perhaps Ubuntu's Unity comes close.

Another hypothesis is that Facebook had been showing you the barbeque sauce ad all along, which is why you bought it. You only noticed afterwards.
Perhaps a slight modification: the farther down the list, the more an upvote should count (because of the top-comment bias), with it being unnecessary all together for the current winner... If someone is up-voting a comment farther down, they not only went to the effort to scroll, and they should be rewarded for actively curating, but it means they had to endure other comments higher up that were not as worthy, which is an increasing burden the further down the comment was found (for example, a geometric weighting of upvotes). It might mean more flapping of the position, but it also ensures equal (fair) exposure of equally-good comments.

The submission ranking, I assume, takes more into account than just upvotes (age, number and quality of sub-comments, etc). The top-comment problem feels like the same problem, so might be an opportunity for code consolidation.
Power usage is going down with every generation. A few watts is quite a bit for a machine with an e-ink display.

For others, maybe nothing but charge sustaining purposes at first.
Doesn't this seem a little sexist?
I only hope they give men the equal opportunity to women and don't start "paving the way" to make it easier for women to get a job there than an equally good man. Avoiding sexism isn't about hiring an equal number of men as women. It's about hiring the best for the job regardless of their gender.

> What are programmers famous for?
> Programmers disrupt.

What a load of self-pretentious crap. Programmers program.

Some programmers have the desire to launch businesses that will change the world. For them, programming is one part of a large collection of tools, abilities, and activities. But just one. The author mentions Paul Graham who also talks of the requirement for "schlepping" - a critical part of running a start-up, and nothing to do with programming.

Some programmer will succeed running a business, some will succeed in running a successful business that makes a lot of money. Some may even succeed in disrupting and existing market.

But "Programmers disrupt."

Please, spare me.
Of course, you can find plenty of sexism in both finance and engineering. And I'm sure it discourages some women from entering.

But it is important to note there are plenty of industries today with high female representation, such as law and medicine, that in the recent past were bastions of male dominance. A female relative of mine went through law school in the 1950s and can tell tales of male chauvinism more extreme than you'd find anywhere today in tech or finance. But somehow, women went to law school more and more, and today represent ~50% of law classes. Something must be different about these fields, but I'm not sure what.
This is a really great plan for hiring top talent in a way that's not immediately obvious. There is a lot of talk of 'sexism' in the tech world, but from my experience, many top male engineers are going to prefer working in a team with a few more females. If the article is correct then this proves this further - they were able to hire some big names simply by having those extra female engineers.

Training up female engineers is also positive as the main complaint about 'diversity in tech' is putting less competent female engineers before more competent male engineers to meet ratio targets. (I'm not saying that females are less competent, but female engineers are harder to find.) By training up female engineers first before giving them the jobs, they are hopefully making sure that their female engineers are just as competent as their male engineers.

Basically it's a win all around, and is much better than just hiring any female engineer regardless of skill to make quota.

"Less headhunters, more hacker school" - Good call, good call.
Sometimes secretly means that enough critical mass does not know about something, or it is not discussed in depth to reveal what it means. Forbidding of physical gold ownership could not be secret, could it? since they're calling everyone to bring their gold in. But its repercussion was not immediately obvious. Let's no forget it's 1933s, there's no twitter nor blogs.

Leaving gold standard is one of the big controversies for any nation as it allows governments to inflate the supply of the money and deflate its value. Essentially that's what happened eventually. Inflation is a silent tax on the citizens.

Given its founder's actions as mayor, it would seem to fit with their current trend and this article. Looking for historical precedents from respected[1] historical figures is a time honored tradition.

I don't know whether or not facebook is doing this, but it is worth knowing that supermarket purchase data is often merged with online profiles. For example, my ISP (Verizon FIOS) buys this data, merges it with subscription information and household data and then "shares" it with their internet advertising service bureau, who happens to be google. They don't need 3rd party cookies in these scenarios because they can match ip to subscriber name & address.

I don't believe there are feeds that are real time enough to support next day purchase correlation, but there certainly will be in the future.

Note that even if you've given them bad or no data when you obtained the affinity card they still match you with your credit cards that you've used at the grocery.
There might be a correlation, but it is almost impossible to prove that kids cause one to get better at one's job. For example, I am sure that people with kids (up to a certain number) earn more. But it might just be that they started earning more and then had kids.

What I believe is that kids are a normal part of life very different from anything you have experienced before them. Having them has nothing to do with your career (or should have nothing to do with it), and they don't really care where you work up to a certain age.
The argument is that sexism is what creates the scarcity in the first place. So by creating an environment where sexism is less of a factor you attract more women.
I agree with your branding conclusion. That maybe primarily one of the reasons why Nokia is going big on the Lumia branding that a WP8 branding.

Android does not have support on a lot of phones beyond the original version which comes with the phone. The only problem for MS is the fact they spell out the fact that old phones can't be upgraded due to a kernel change which end consumers don't understand.
Upgrade options are available on Android only because of the hacker community.

The rest of your post is just your opinion on Android v/s WP8. So, no comments.

This is very interesting, particularly because this capability exists without people knowing the little clues they leave can be put together in this way.

The EU data protection act contains the concept of sensitive personal data thanks to the abuse of people by the Nazis. It includes ethnic origin, religion, medical information and sexuality.

The idea is that once you can put together a list of people meeting a particular criteria it's very easy to round them up. While I don't think Facebook or the US are in danger of that kind of excess, neither was Holland before the second world war. Yet one of the reasons for the high death toll of Dutch Jews was the good state of the records:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Netherlands_(193...

I think it might be a good idea for Facebook and others to consider not just the data they have but also the inferences that can be drawn on it, and reflect whether that leaves them with certain responsibilities like easy opt out or not storing certain things.
The idea needs a lot of development - and a name better than a 'thinkerspace'.

Math and music? What about philosophy, literature, other branches of science? I can think and write with my flouncy fountain pen at home, so what are the merits of me going to a collaborative space? I'm sure there could be many, but these aren't elaborated upon at all. Conversation? About what? Will it be structured? Themed? How? Or why not?

Tea but no coffee? Bookbinding but no typewriters? Blackboards but no wifi? Why is technology unwelcome in this context? Are these important distinctions? I've no idea.

Sounds like you need a manifesto. And I would suggest you try very hard to make it as unpretentious as possible.

Short answer: Nope.
I would much rather see Bill Gates offer $100,000 to developing a cheap and easily reversible vasectomy, and disrupt the condom market.

Barry Eichengreen's excellent book "Golden Fetters" actually demonstrates very convincingly using cross-national time series analysis that economic recovery across the world began on average around six months after countries left the gold standard. This is now the mainstream understanding of the Great Depression in economic history.

His sample size is something like 30-35 countries, and shows clearly that countries which stayed on the gold standard longer suffered more deflation and higher unemployment than their counterparts who abandoned it early. So Bloomberg is in fact correct on this point. And it may also be worth noting that the observed changes are about as instantaneous as you get in economic policy, given that even today changes to the Fed rate are assumed to hit the economy with a six-month lag.
Does the current device actually do this? If not, I'd say that's a very good reason to believe.
You missed the point. From the quote: "Then we started mixing in all these ads for things we knew pregnant women would never buy..."

In other words, wine glasses are on par with lawn mowers as far as pregnant women are concerned. They know women aren't interested in them.
> People should have the right to do whatever the heck they want with their property.

The fact is that your property (your car) is only useful on public property (roads). Legislators have every right to regulate what you do on public property.
Those look strange and awesome; I hope they make it to market soon. Given that the thinness wars have not really resulted in a dramatically better condom experience, nor have new materials (polyisoprene condoms are pretty much just like good latex condoms), there definitely needs to be some new thinking.

There was a latex condom that went down this path a decade, or so, ago...the condom was internally lubricated and intended to move around the penis during sex. But, it didn't really succeed; it was just more condom to dislike. That "feels like wearing a plastic bag" sensation was more apparent rather than less. Hopefully, silicone and a novel sex-toy-like design will succeed where a big slippery latex bag failed.

Cool to see they have designs for all three common use-cases (empowering vaginal and anal recipients on the condom decision can be a good thing from a public health perspective; and this is the first anal receptive condom design I've seen), though I suspect they'll be too expensive for those populations most at risk. Hopefully health clinics will be able to provide them.
Hybrid solutions are hypothetically very nice, but as I understand it in reality the large battery banks associated with a gas-tank-like range, and the relatively minor amount of power the motors can actually put out, means that short-term power density isn't actually much of a problem.

Well, that's the way it should be, sexual intercourse is a fact of life.

But it's not so much about the shape, it's about the consistency, sensibility of the surface and the fact that the outer skin is not simulated in those models and it makes it harder to apply the condom.
Thanks for your reply piotry, as we speak, I'm coding something that replaces the QR code syncing process basically a 4 digits on the screen instead, we can keep both, what do you think ?
Knowing how many read a comment would help with comment assessment but how do you get that information. I suppose we could track scroll positions, I'm not sure how reliable it would be.

It'd be cool if websites could use eye tracking, then we could easily tell what got read. Maybe in the future.
Sarcasm? All you've done with your example is trade one set of authoritarian, capricious rules with another. How about we just stop dictating people's lives?
Don’t believe the crap about the patriarchy. More women are accepted and attend college. More degrees are awarded to women than men. Women outlive men. More men commit suicide. Men are twice as likely to be victims of violence, including murder. If you consider sexual assaults in prisons, twice as many men are raped as women (society thinks prison rape is funny). The streets are littered with homeless men, sprinkled with a few homeless women. Statically, women are happier than men. The myth that girls are being cheated by are educational system is belied by the fact that schools are bastions of femininity, mostly run by and taught by women. Girls outperform boys in school. It is the boys in school getting f*cked over, and prescribed ritalin for being boys. Real wages for men are falling, while real wages for women are rising. Just because someone says something enough times, doesn’t make it true. Men have nothing to feel guilty about.
