No, I wasn't quoting anybody, I was paraphrasing John Cage. Here is the quote:

“If something is boring after two minutes, try it for four. If still boring, then eight. Then sixteen. Then thirty-two. Eventually one discovers that it is not boring at all.” ― John Cage

> A large number of the poor have come up from the depths and are very intelligent people.

I like to consider myself one of those people.

But I have to say, I can't imagine how my IQ would have stayed the same as I got older if I had not at least been able to eat regularly, drink clean water, make medical check-ups, etc.

I get what you have been implying, which is that a person's theoretical intellectual capability is not necessarily tied to their current intellectual capability. But the brain is an adaptive organ, not a monolith that comes out of the womb fully-formed.

It's at least possible (and likely, IMO) that there are various 'gates' in the development of the brain where if pre-requisites for development are not met, that the opportunity for that natural development gets closed off as the brain moves onto further forms of modification and maintenance of its neural net.

At some point the brain has to switch over from adolescent development to adult 'maintenance programming'. If you are resource-constrained during that adolescent phase it may be difficult to catch back up, even in a resource surplus as an adult. This would show as a lower IQ (even on an ideal IQ test), even though a higher IQ could have been achieved with proper 'care & feeding' as a child.
Announcing (ISC)2 Board of Director Elections
Well, some alleles (genes) cluster among populations, and many people believe that statistically different genetic populations equates to different races. It's a widespread mistaken belief that has no scientific basis, because having different races requires 100% isolation of the populations. There are many horrible things that have happened in the world on the basis of this belief, and it irritates me when people propagate it, even if they aren't doing so maliciously.

Note that I realize now I may have been quoting him out of context about the physical differences, kind of hard to tell.

Okay, based on recent comment, apparently a total misunderstanding.
Actual comment is here: http://fyre.it/tjlVmC.4

Says alternately that he's taken 100,000+ user records, or just 73 Apple worker records, or no user details at all. And that he's keeping all the "evidences".
But it was corrected to actual article title. Might be better to submit with comment than wrong title.
FEMA Hactivists Embrace Slow-and-Low
There's something I've ignored here, which is that most of these systems are at a higher level of abstraction than text-based languages. Modules (called "objects") in Max, for instance, are written in C. Max is more analogous to Unix than an actual programming language (by admission of its author).

A question for me is why we write things like web servers in a programming language at all. After using dataflow systems, I believe there are much better abstractions possible than Rails-style web frameworks.
I don't think it captures audio, though.
Security Researcher Detected Apple Dev Portal Breach Before Apple Did
She actually does mention teaching- she lists sub-par problem sets as a contributing factor to a particular month being difficult, and she groups teaching in with research as her non-quota-having activities. But I suspect that your analysis is fundamentally correct.
Article title or not, "David Cameron cracks down on online pornography" is not news to me. I know this. But the submitted title was big news. That's why I clicked over and that's why I read the article. Otherwise I would have skipped it entirely.
It's unbelievably easy and condescending for someone who has a tenure-track junior faculty position at harvard to call it a "seven-year postdoc". However, the advice is generally good.

I do however take issue with this: "I guess my hope is to add one more option to the list, which is covering your ears and making up your own rules." No... That shouldn't be a hope. You should just do it.
This is a move to shame those who watch pornography, that you have to ring someone up and say "Yeah, I'm trying to jack off here but for some reason pornhub won't load... Yeah... Uh... I'd like you to remove the porn filter please?"
Meh.

I doubt the Tories have a clean house in this regard. Every time some politician or other 'moral leader' starts pontificating about moral panic, I get suspicious that they're just trying to ban their vice. Clearly if they're so vocally opposed to it, they mustn't be partaking, right?

Glenn Loury and cocaine.

Well that article was better than expected, I lost my money on out of the money options, whereas this is a generous philanthropy piece. I'd like to think my way was more effective.
An H6 definitely has some upsides over a V6. A V6 has never been the "best" engine in any specific regard; it strikes a nice balance in the spectrum of the many, many compromises an engine makes.

For example, a V6 can be used in a transverse mount vehicle, which is the majority of vehicles available today. It does this with minimal sacrifices in performance compared to an H6, which is much too wide to ever be considered.
NULL doesn't mean "no value", it means "unknown value". It's much closer in meaning to IEEE floating point "NaN" than to Haskell/ML "None". In particular, NULL != NULL. Also like NaN (and unlike, say, Bottom), it is testable via special predicates.

(I think, though I may be wrong, that a lot of the trouble with NULL stems from the very fact that it is testable. Were it more like Bottom – i.e., merely a means of lazily representing erroneous expressions to overcome limitations of a non-dependent type system – designers would be forced to encode meaning explicitly and we wouldn't be having this conversation.)

I disagree that 3D printers are the new 2D printers and everyone will eventually have one. Lets think about 3d printing in the context of the rise of 2d printers.

Was the thing that held back personal printers the lack of things to print- at one point, likely. Did a massive influx of 3rd party things to print solve this problem? No. 2D printers were popularized because people had shit they needed to print- text documents to start with and later photos. They made these things themselves. Thingiverse was not the solution for 2d and won't be the solution for 3d.

The only reason Thingiverse gets mentioned is that its damn near impossible for anyone who isn't a specialist in the field to design anything printable. The software is too complex and physical items must be durable.

This say we solved the software problem. We still have the enormous problem that the vast majority of people are incapable of making cogent 3D designs. IE, customization isn't buying you anything other than the ability to emboss your name or make a slightly different iphone case. Really, name one item that the average Joe can customize that isn't kitsch. Here's my list: glasses and jewelery (and only the later with quite a bit of hand holding). You may name a few more, but they problem have integrated circuits or other components that are not printable (lenses, diamonds, etc).

Maybe 3D printers will one day be valuable for printing out replacement parts; perhaps this is true. You'll take your broken whatsit to get 3D scanned and replaced. But of course, this business model may never come into existence due to copyright/patent laws. Even here, you will most likely get this done at your local kinkos because they will do it better, faster, and cheaper.

I don't foresee personal 3d printers becoming a thing, if ever. Perhaps in 20 years I'll look back on this statement in the same way that I think about "why would anyone ever want a personal computer". We'll see.

First off, I hate it how they always try to frame new laws as trying to "protect" people. The same with airline searches and the whole PRISM deal.

Also, I read somewhere on the subject of child pornography that allowing those people to look at images cuts down on the act because they seem to "get their fix." I can't remember where I read this so I can't provide a source, but it seems to make sense.

What's your story of adding value to tech community as a non-technical person?
75% are active-duty or former military (all O-4 or higher), and most are graduates of one of the service academies. Without taking anything away from their accomplishment, it's safe to say these individuals were already high-achievers to begin with.
yes with Brunelleschi's lead (but he still needs a big team), but since Buffet only outperforms by about 15% I wouldn't call that "dramatic" in the context of your post. As for Jordan, I suspect five of me could beat one Michael Jordon, and I suck at basketball.

Maybe you could better make your point by avoiding analogies and staying within our hackery field for alpha examples. For example, a single Linus Torvalds in a weekend could put together git, which could then keep thousands of mediocre programmers confused for years :-)

I'm one of the batch founders (Binpress). I know most of the companies on the list intimately, and most of the data is completely inaccurate (some is even ridiculous - 2 companies have 0 employees according to this chart).

I hope no one, and especially investors - take this site seriously. We're doing well, but some of the other companies are counting on the upcoming demo day for a last push to their fund raising efforts. Mattermark would serve themselves and their users better by doing some actual diligence on the companies before publishing this data, instead of just aggregating old crunch-base data and Alexa rankings.
> Every household in Britain connected to the internet will be obliged to declare whether they want to maintain access to online pornography

These declarations will only be used to shame public figures once the list is leaked.

> The possession of "extreme pornography", which includes scenes of simulated rape, is to be outlawed.

Video footage of two consenting adults, acting out a scene, will be illegal to own. With this on the books, it seems a short hop to outlaw videos of simulated murder.

> The Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP) is to draw up a blacklist of "abhorrent" internet search terms to identify and prevent paedophiles searching for illegal material.

A single search can now land you on a government list of accused pedophiles.

Yikes.
It amazes me that people defend the US system, especially in this way. If a statistical majority of a group do something, is treating the whole group the same a good idea? Using the same logic, most US citizens didn't commit any crime punishable by imprisonment, so why imprison anyone?
The submitted title appears more or less verbatim in the lede of the article, and is the more significant news. I don't know if I'd call it wrong.
But on the other hand, "you get to work with the highest-tech and most insane things the human race has ever produced".
Nice! Just a couple of minor nitpicks:

1. The delay between updating the regex/test text and seeing the result is a little long. I find regex tools much more useful if I can see the results change as I'm typing.

2. I did a simple regex with two capture groups and the second backreference came up red in the matches box. As soon as I see red, I assume there's an error. Might be worth removing those "danger colours" from the list.

Other than that, looking good!
`The government today has made a significant step forward in preventing rapists using rape pornography to legitimise and strategise their crimes and, more broadly, in challenging the eroticisation of violence against women and girls`

What? In what world would 90% of ANY porn be legitimate?! I want rapists using strategies found in the fake garbage you can find online, at least then they will be less effective than they could be.

`And, in a really big step forward, all the ISPs have rewired their technology so that once your filters are installed, they will cover any device connected to your home internet account. No more hassle of downloading filters for every device, just one-click protection. One click to protect your whole home and keep your children safe.`

That's fucking censorship and I THOUGHT WE ALL AGREED THAT IS A SIGN OF FASCISM. Seriously, how many bloody times can someone use `FOR THE CHILDREN` as an a valid excuse? I hope this fellow gets put out of office with no pension. He is committing widespread censorship of an entire nation. And the people appreciate that. People also appreciated that Hitler brought Austria and Germany together in anschluss as well as the fact that he returned them from 40% unemployment. Funny how short sighted the people are.

`You're the people who have worked out how to map almost every inch of the Earth from space; who have developed algorithms that make sense of vast quantities of information. Set your greatest brains to work on this. You are not separate from our society, you are part of our society, and you must play a responsible role in it`

I see, you want the people who have been working for their entire lives to better the human race to take their valued time and put that towards your endeavors of censoring anything that could potentially offend the parents of children? I'm sorry, you are what's wrong with the world.

I say we should build systems designed specifically to undermine these authoritarian measures.
Are there any real studies on the "corrosive influence" of porn on children? I'm pretty sure every young teen boy has seen porn these days. The only actual studies I'm aware of say that porn reduces actually violent sex crimes. It acts as a substitute.
I'll disagree here.

The first XBox was basically a PC with an exact spec. The 360 was plagued by RRODs. I know 5 people who own XBox 360, and every single one of them was either on the 2nd or 3rd console due to malfunction.

The Kinect was not developed at Microsoft - the camera and original skeletal modeling is from PrimeSense (although later MS took over the software part, at least). It was a marketing response to the Wii, true - but it's a third party product they bought.

"Only limited to academic level research"? I had a chance to play with the commercial ZCam almost two years before the Kinect came out; And ZCam wasn't the first product.

> In that regard I think that the XBox team is probably the only well-ran unit in the firm.

Have they turned a profit yet? I suppose they have by now, but they went through at least 4BN in funding before they did (if they have indeed). It might be well-run, but without real evidence I can't assume that.
>Sure they get a big fat settlement

Does the definition of "interracial" there include "White" and "Hispanic" as an example of "interracial"? Strictly speaking, that would be incorrect, because "race" is one category, and Hispanic ethnicity an overlapping category, in United States Census data. (Some summary reports, doubtless including the report you are kindly sharing figures from, get confused on this issue. What is your source?)

The Census Bureau says

"The U.S. Census Bureau collects race data in accordance with guidelines provided by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and these data are based on self-identification. The racial categories included in the census questionnaire generally reflect a social definition of race recognized in this country and not an attempt to define race biologically, anthropologically, or genetically. In addition, it is recognized that the categories of the race item include racial and national origin or sociocultural groups. People may choose to report more than one race to indicate their racial mixture, such as 'American Indian' and 'White.' People who identify their origin as Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish may be of any race."

http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/meta/long_RHI525211.htm

A similar statement is found as footnote 7 in the Census Brief 2010 "Overview of Race and Hispanic Origin: 2010"

http://www.census.gov/prod/cen2010/briefs/c2010br-02.pdf

"The race categories included in the census questionnaire generally reflect a social definition of race recognized in this country and are not an attempt to define race biologically, anthropologically, or genetically. In addition, it is recognized that the categories of the race question include race and national origin or sociocultural groups."

Personally speaking I would be glad to have this filter, but I wouldn't want to force it on other people. So if people got a choice about enabling the filter I would be okay with it, i.e. if it was opt-in. In that case it's providing a service to people who need a human barrier to help them stop looking at porn if they have a problem. Any preventative mechanism that you set up for your own sake is pointless when you have root.

Are there any arguments against an opt-in filter? The legislation is for an opt-out filter.

I think prototyping will remain a big thing for 3d printers for a while. See eg the hexbright project [1]. Similar to how you could print a (poor) proof on a 9-pin matrix printer from your dtp program before you sent it somewhere for laserprinting/printing (the laser printer would be a commercial cnc or 3d print service).

Other than that, I could see myself using it for "throwaway plastic stuff" - coasters, maybe (novelty) cups/glasses (for parties) -- and for replacement parts, as others have mentioned (for those plastic things that always breaks and can't be replaced except by replacing the entire thing it came with).

I could also see the community coming up with some standards -- like lenovo/thinkpad has standards for peripherals and covers -- so could boxes for 2.5/3.5 slide in closures for harddrives etc. So you could print (or build) a mini-itx case with as many 2.5" front-loading slots as you needed for your own dyi nas etc.

Yes, it's true LabVIEW has its own issues. It's a memory hog and the UI is cluttered and doesn't scale well for large projects. I don't think LV will be THE model for future programing, but I do think that its synchronous dataflow programming model could be part of the solutions to the concurrency issue that languages face today in the massively parallel domain.

My experience was very different from yours. I couldn't believe how simple it was to add an additional test in parallel. It was just a copy/paste, update the functions, test parameters, and I/O. If only writing multithreaded code in C++ or Java was that simple. After my experience, I could see how LV could be a good fit for computer vision apps running on highly parallel architectures.

It's too bad there not more modern, open dataflow languages out there. Massively complex modern CPUs wouldn't exist with tools like Verilog. As software grows in complexity, these tools may also offer some solutions on the software side.
