>> The entire analogy of the CPU is to implement pure boolean logic through strict controls and limits of voltage levels in analog circuits.

But this isn't the whole story either, right? What is "pure boolean logic" anyway? It doesn't exist even at the lowest levels. Logic is always applied to a statement of some kind, it doesn't exist as a pure abstraction. It's interesting you bring up Godel. Russell and Whitehead attempted to map logic to math in the Principia, and were refuted by Godel's incompleteness. I don't want to make too much of incompleteness (as many do), but let's not make too little of it either. At some point logic can only do so much for you, and you have to resort to analogy. I think this happens much earlier in CPU architecture than you're allowing for.

What you have at a low level on the CPU are a set of instructions arbitrarily (to some degree) defined to efficiently model analogical actions like "push" and "move" and "shift" and the fundamental operations that map to assembly. And here we've already moved out of the realm of pure logic -> math envisioned by Russell and we've created logic -> language, by way of analogy. This is, I would argue, a rhetorical move rather than a logical one. We've already prepared/redacted the ones and zeroes for human consumption, and assumed a specific semantic to provide for a human imagination that will accept and adapt to the semantic.

It is the investment in existing factories and supply chain. They invest billions into these calculating the returns over long periods of time (think 15 to 30 years). This is also the reason why we are able to afford cars. If we want new, innovative cars every 3 years the manufacturers will have to ensure their ROI over 3 years which means the price tag will go up x10.

Our world view is a little skewed because of our ability to launch software products over a weekend or release a new build every afternoon.
My intention was to distinguish between their product reviews, which are very useful, and their consumer protection initiatives. Many of these will cost a lot and may not justify the benefits. I don't think I've ever seen them make an argument which includes the cost of a government mandate that they favor.
If you have pain you need to make sure that your ergonomics are correct before you do anything else.

As for little keyboards: People like the Happy Hacking Lite; proper keys and nice travel and small without being too cramped.

MS keyboards are often recommended, especially their ergonomic range.

The only reason that sentence is "obvious" to many people is because we have a reference to a famous band from Liverpool that got its start in the late 50's/early 60's that is already embedded in our brain's library of facts.

Removed from that context human beings see that sentence as equally meaningless as a parser, because it is. I'd imagine many young people (who don't have the "correct" reference points) wouldn't have a clue that the sentence is about George Harrison.

In order to properly handle this sentence one would need the same external reference that your brain has. Without the reference the sentence can be discarded as incomplete, since that's what a human would do too.
After over 20 years of very happily using vim and other vi-clones, I'm in the process of making emacs+evil my main editor.

Making the switch is slow and painful for this veteran vim user who has perfected his vim environment, but I can already see that the emacs environment that I build will be superior... eventually.

Plus, I get the joy of scripting my editor in elisp and eventually guile (I hope). No more vimscript for me!

That said, vim is a wonderful editor. Even if vim ultimately isn't as flexible as emacs, it's still incredibly powerful; and there's a lot of cross-fertilization going on between the two editors, with vim users getting inspired by emacs features and packages and writing vim equivalents and vice-versa.

Perfect Audience launches Facebook News Feed retargeting
The effect sizes that you're talking about are the result of hidden correlations causing the random variation to be larger than the statistical model thought possible. On the one hand you can always argue that this is a sign you did statistics wrong. On the other hand the internal correlations caused by ethnicity, diet, environmental pollution, etc truly are hard to estimate.

Another common cause of finding significant p-values when you shouldn't is looking at many metrics (or the same metric at many points of time). Eventually you get (un)lucky.

However if you do the stats correctly, and the statistical model (which usually assumes independence) is accurate, then a p-value of under 5% will only happen 5% of the time. No matter how big the sample size is.
What You Do Is Not (Necessarily) Who You Are
Then what does this specifically have to do with programs?

All works of substance share such an 'incompleteness' and meaning. We just look to non-programming works as complete in a sense when they are recognized. But such works are constantly being rewritten in different forms in order to produce the effect they are known to be able to produce.

In the end, everything is a program in some sense whether to be executed by a brain or computer.

The point of what I was saying was to refute the idea that somehow our programs are so complex and have such amazing behaviour that they will not be reducable to a core set of rules. If the programs run on a computer they must be computable and thus reducable to a core set of rules. That's it.

Whether we can be reduced to that core set of rules is not evident yet. Using logic, a statement that denies it's own provability in the language it was writen in was crewated. Logic was not thought to be able to lie, until it did. Who knows what the right brain can make it do?
I agree, lying is bad regardless! My post isn't anti p-values, it's anti poorly-understood-or-performed-statistics. NHST just happens to be the subject of choice, because it's particularly misunderstood. Anyway, I'm less worried about lying, and more worried about accidental inaccuracies, e.g., someone collecting data until they get tired or run out of funding, but running the calculation as though the "intent" was to get exactly that number of observations.
How Netflix Ate the Internet
The main issue with H1B is gross misuse of it by outsourcing companies like Infosys, Wipro and body shopping firms that pimp out low quality talent at higher rate and pocket the difference.

Just ban these companies from applying for H1B. For outsources, create a separate and temp visa category for them and tax them at higher rate or have increased fees whatever.

Increase penalty for these body shopping firms. Right now the risk associated with running a body shopping firm is so less that it makes business sense to flout all H1B regulations. USCIS is definitely getting better at cracking down but still lots need to be done.

It's not about audience. You can implement all those "gestures" but only as shortcuts to functions that can be accessed in other fashions as well.

Don't make me have to middle click for something and make that the only way to perform said action.

The author even stresses this trend to focus too much on providing great interfaces for mobile and not for other platforms. :-)
Apache is fine, too (though there aren't any patents involved so it has no real advantage). Apache v2, BSD, MIT, are all in the same open spirit - Apache is just more explicit about what it gives away.

It's important to understand that when FSF talks about "freedom" they explicitly mean keeping the users free - not the developers. As a developer, I'm personally biased towards being free to other developers, and I think GPL (v2 and esp. v3) are very much pro-user at the cost of being anti-developer.
I'm aware of all that, but of course you DO want to show things to the outside, all the time. I also know about the newer syntax, which is awesome the few times I still dip into ObjC, but I'm more thinking of map/each/select/detect/etc. There are builtin methods for doing those, but their sheer verbosity tends to discourage the sort of free and easy chaining that Ruby encourages. (Some might argue that's a benefit. Not me.)

Cocoa is a fantastic system to build on top of. NSDate is MILES better than the Ruby time stuff, for example. NS/UI solid core plus Ruby's flexible syntax and culture of sensible defaults is a marriage made in heaven.
> When it comes to privacy and PII, Google holds itself to an extremely high standard.

With all due respect, but you've gotta joking.

Google doesn't even hold itself to the standards set by the laws in countries it operates in. Laws that are for now still full of loopholes Google happily exploits with zero restraint, despite knowing full well (not in the last place because they've been warned on a regular basis) that this at the very least violates the intent of those privacy laws.

Also, Google has been actively lobbying against privacy protection laws in the EU for several years now.

Yes, for English. There's a standard multi-lingual evaluation for statistical dependency parsers (the CoNLL 2007 data), but none for constituency parsers.

I had a look at that paper, but didn't read it carefully. All I can really say is that there's a real evaluation problem between rule-based and statistical parsers. Rule-based parsers recover richer representations, but tend to have lower coverage over arbitrary data --- they normally can't guarantee that a parse is returned; they may deem the sentence ungrammatical.

In that paper, the parsers were evaluated on "home ground" for the rule-based parser, as they used the treebank created for it. Having worked on the CCG formalism through my PhD, I can say that even small differences in annotation scheme can make a big difference in which parsers come out ahead.
Vim Align and Ctrl+V Shift-I works for me but I agree... multicursors would be awesome.

First of all, Tesla was not created by Musk alone. He owns a large portion of the company, but he had co-founders with more experience in the automobile industry.

Second of all, there's a reason that Tesla started with a high-end sports car and that's because bringing a sports car to market is easier than bringing an economy or mid-priced sedan. Most mass-market cars have small (or even negative) profit margins. In order to make financial sense, the development costs need to be spread over a large production run, preferably world-wide. The size of the big auto companies is so that they can take advantage of economies of scale to make a cost-competitive car. Building decent cars at a competitive price is a different market than the one Tesla is engaged in.

This does nothing to answer me. I was making an ethical point, not a political one (although it does have political ramifications).

Google Glass hands-on: Not a good device for consumers
I suspect what the commenter meant is that Google could have created an open social platform for others to build upon, resulting in a plethora of specific social implementations targeting many different verticals.

Instead, what we have today is G+ as a glue that provides a social foundation for all of their products, although I hope that G+ will open up soon to allow others to build upon it.

Re: your first point.

In English, the first noun is almost always the actor of the verb, with subsequent nouns being acted upon. This isn't true for other languages though.

(I'm sure someone will come up with an exception to that rule but for 90% of the cases this is true).
I have purposely kept it light as those are not as important as other things. Once you know how app works, you don't need to read those.

Wordnet & the Brill Pos tagged corpus do the trick, more or less
I've seen a grand total of one of them in the Boston area (Somerville, to be precise), but Boston has never really been a big place for supercars... this is for two reasons:

1) General New England frugality.

2a) New England winters eat cars due to the salt and potholes.

2b) ...which means that you must garage your supercar for 3-4 months of the year because it's just not practical to use.

2c) ...which means that you have:

2c1) ...two cars (no big deal)

2c2) ...and the ability to garage one of them full-time for 3-4 months, which is a problem anywhere in the 617 area code because...

2c2a) Boston Is Full.
The technology to do any of those is little more than a few database joins and some fuzzier matching logic like you are suggesting. What's creepy is just the extent to which they match. In the email contacts theory, for example, it's not hard to remember an email address that was in a user's contacts list and then suggest they connect when that email address is used. It's only creepy because you personally had no control over giving them the information that allows them to make that leap.

Thank you for the link. I'm surprised I haven't found earlier on my own. The only problem is though, it says it will disable Profile Stats (meaning that you can't tell who's been looking at your profile). I guess I don't really need that anyway.
History is littered with failed auto companies, so no, it's not that easy. Tesla very nearly didn't make it too (IIRC Musk had to sink a lot of personal money into it to keep it afloat).
Don't forget he had his own money to put into it and the confidence / belief he could do it. Try finding someone to give you enough capital to start a big holistic undertaking as this ... I don't think it'll happen.
Great question, and it'd take me a long time to answer.

My first thought about resumes is that they serve two purposes, one legitimate and one not:

(a) social status grading, which is easy for douchebags to game and for extortionists ("do <X> or I'll fire you and give you a bad reference") to abuse.

(b) a list of "ask me about <X>" topics where X ranges over areas of professional expertise and interests, so they can probe you during the interview as to what you actually know.

I'd focus on (b) while throwing (a) to the wind. One thought I had is an "allocate 20 points" system. You don't actually have to prove anything because resumes suck at that, but if you put "Machine Learning: 7" that shows that you view yourself as being "35%" Machine Learning and are fairly comfortable discussing it on an interview.

This leads to the concept of a scarce graph, which is weighted but also imposes granularity (e.g. 20-point limit with 1-point minimum units) to prevent sprawl, and forces people to prioritize. Running graph algorithms against scarce graphs, with data pertaining to peoples' desires for connection (new jobs, new candidates) could be interesting.

So there's that. You get as much legitimate information out of a 20-point allocation of interests and experience as you would out of a resume or a job posting. What you don't get is the social status bullshit (dates and titles).

Ok, onto fixing the labor market in general, I think the best solution I can come up with is to build this: http://michaelochurch.wordpress.com/2013/05/07/fixing-employ...

That's Part I. Part II comes from the fact that, if Part I is build, people are going to want to get better, fast, at marketing themselves so their call options trade at a higher rate. That leads naturally into career coaching (a better model than traditional recruiting) but also into objective evaluation of, for example, source code quality. Now we can actually verify that, yes, John is a top-notch programmer and his $200/hr-struck call options actually aren't out of the money.

Part III would be to use all the professional development data thus gathered and start scoring employers based on how much value they add to peoples' careers. How fast does a typical person grow, as a programmer, after 2 years at Google? What does it do for that person's employment potential 10 years down the road? Those would be great things to know.
While intraday trading as a whole is zero-sum, the HFTs are taking profits from other traders, not from each other. HFTs as a group are profitable.

I find that it's a happy day, not a sad day (even if I like open-source).

Why? Because now some of my customers are going to seriously think about using Ruby for Mac OS X apps, because they know someone is making profit while supporting this, so they feel they can rely on this.

I much prefer this to the fate of IronRuby (or to some extent, MacRuby).

If all you care about is the mean, I think it was Applied Cryptography that suggested:

1. First person picks a random number and adds it to their salary. Writes it down ands hands it to the next person.
2. Next person adds their salary to that number and writes it down on a new note, hands to the next person.
3. When the first person gets the note, subtract the original number and divide by number of people.
Throwaway anonymous accounts are unusually resistant to ad hominem attacks. As frivolous as it may be, let's destroy your arguments one by one:

> Wow, the MS hate really turns people stupid

There is no research about that, but I'll agree hatred may cloud your judgement. In this case, however, the relationship between B&N and Microsoft is very suspicious - Microsoft tried to extort B&N who, in turn, threatened to disclose the patent list and then, miraculously, they became a strategic partner, Microsoft paid them US$300M, and the list was forgotten.

> Microsoft, which has NO ebook story for their struggling mobile ecosystem, swoops in and suddenly becomes a player in the ebook market for 1.3 billion in one year.

Something that makes very little sense. Microsoft's focus should be in preventing the erosion of their software ecosystem - once its share drops below a certain point and network effects stop being relevant, it's hockey stick all the way to the bottom. Having a failing e-book distribution deal that is not attached to Windows does not help that. And attaching it to Windows will only make it irrelevant.

> And people like you, mtgx and rbannfy think this means MS patents were weak.

Addressed in the first point.
I read a lot of medical research papers and I'd say about 1 in 10 is about cancer. They usually go something like this: We found this receptor on a cancer cell and it caused it to grow or shrink. We therefore propose making a drug to inhibit or act as an agonist for this receptor site which also affects an enormous amounts of completely un-releated stuff around the body in order to fight cancer.

Truth is, they may have just gotten a funny little mutant of a cancer cell that happens to heavily express this one receptor as part of its unique mutated biology. For all we know a lot of cancer research has been about exploring the peculiarities of the genome of Henrietta Lacks.
I finally joined linkedin about a week ago, and it just feels...scammy.

It's interesting to me (or frightening) that some of the smartest people I know have the fewest endorsements. People I know doing [1]actual real work on things like "microcontrollers" have...3-4 endorsements with them, but people who I know have only maybe installed Linux, have 20 or so endorsements for "linux".

There are people I know who are post-graduate level experts on certain fields, and those fields are either not listed at all, or they have maybe 1 or 2 endorsements for it.

Stupid.

I'll keep just linking people to my github, and showing them projects I've built.
