I agree with much of what you have said -- I think you misunderstood my original post, I'm not claiming these jobs are going to be completely eradicated from society come another 20 years, I just simply think that they'll decrease in numbers by a considerable amount. So a restaurant that once used to have 10 servers working at any given time will need maybe 3 or 4 with automation going on.

> So I wouldn't count on robots replacing humans in actual customer service - on the contrary, I expect companies that do not provide proper human interface start losing customers to those who do.

Right, but that's for the /edge/ cases. Like when you're going through automated calls and the robot voice has you go through a process of giving information in various ways -- either by saying something out loud and it'll try to determine what you said, or you just simply type it through the keypad... and then when you fail to communicate properly you get transferred to a real human being.

I can tell you that a very high amount of my friends/family relatives (middle-class folks) cite the reason of their not going to restaurants to be the cost of eating out. Automation will help reduce that cost, so I don't think you have a very strong argument here that people will just stop going to restaurants. And, there is more to a restaurant service than just the 'server experience' -- there is the decor, the fine view, the washed dishes, the nice walk around the town it takes to get there and so on.

As for pubs and bars, yes they are the places that people go to socialize, but not all of that socialization is with the bartender or the server, it's with other people too who're there to also socialize. Bars and pubs will get help from automation, just lessly so than restaurants.

As someone who wrote multiple iOS jailbreaks, the above post is entirely incorrect.

(1) It is almost certain that JTAG is not exposed on an iPhone, as this would be a massive and obvious error on Apple's part, though I do not actually have proof of this.

(2) No type of debug interface is exposed via the dock connector, as this would also be a massive security hole. Rather, as previously stated, imaging software uses exploits, often for bugs previously found by jailbreakers and since patched. (Note that people have used the kernel debugger over the serial interface on some dock connector pins, but only as a convenience after exploiting the kernel to enable this functionality. It is normally disabled.)

(3) A raw block copy of the NAND is useless, because the data is encrypted using the UID key hidden in the hardware AES engine.

(4) Even if you get an exploit running, some information (sensitive information minus the information that's required for operation while locked) is encrypted with the passcode. You can bruteforce the passcode, the process of testing a particular passcode requires using the aforementioned UID key, which you can only ask the hardware AES engine to encrypt and decrypt things with, not actually retrieve. Therefore, without some really powerful hardware attacks, bruteforcing must be conducted at a fixed rate on the phone itself, rather than offline on a compute cluster. If you use a 4 digit passcode, this isn't much help, since it doesn't take long to try 10,000 possibilities, but a good password will take a long time to bruteforce.

Not perfect - among other things, as previously mentioned, you're screwed if they also have the computer you sync the phone with - but not bad.

This project will be very cool if it succeeds.

But the fatal flaw could be its monolithic nature. Linux is just a kernel. Unix, by nature, is more easily broken down into a loose collection of components that can more or less stand on their own. NT was created as a monolith by one company with tremendous resources, and it doesn't easily break down into smaller pieces. It either all works or it all doesn't. So this project seems to have a much bigger scope than Linux; it's more like Linux+GNU+X11+KDE+Wine+... all rolled into one. Unless they've figured out how to drop in chunks of NT itself and have it work. So I wish it luck, but it sounds daunting...
There are many definitions of poverty.

The use of a quick percentage is used for policy as it is easy to put figures to, however it is being used as a measurable indicator for a deeper definition.

If you do not have people living hand to mouth in your society, then you have got rid of poverty, until then it helps to have some quick and dirty economics to work out where to direct your efforts.
The block type syntax is just standard pointer to function syntax of C with `*` replaced with `^`. Yes it's mind blowing, especially when `returnType` is another block, but anything else would be at least inconsistent and/or illogical.
I'm sure those stronger systems people won't mind also being on call when the automation breaks down at 3am on Labor Day morning.
I originally thought it might be that too, but it seems to me like you'll have to hit the database n times for n queries no matter what. Unless Django has some builtin batch save functionality.

> Otherwise, you have people simply taking whatever job they find the most enjoyable, living off the government subsidy, and leaving other less desirable jobs unfilled

What's wrong with this, honestly? If less desirable jobs go unfilled, I'd expect that people would find ways to mitigate the need for human beings in those jobs. Let's let the market figure out what those jobs are and if we can do such mitigation. That seems preferable to the current situation, where people such as yourself say that we need people to be placed into explicitly undesirable positions.

Let's actually see this problem before we anticipate it.
So governments own everything by default, and if you don't like it, just piss off (assuming they let you)? Leave your home country, give up, adieu?

You may be joking, or pushing a theoretical concept, I have no way of knowing. But coming from eastern Europe, I find this world view of your-life-as-leased-from-government disturbing.

Because you know, the next step to "the government owns all lands" is "government owns all babies, and if they don't like how you raise it, they'll 'take it back'". It's all been here before.
There is one flaw in the plan though. How are they going to automate the automation of the servers? If they can't trust people any more, they're going to have to find a way to automate a system administrator without the help of a system administrator (presumably another automated process).

The ridiculousness of this proves that no matter how many billions of dollars and expensive infrastructure you have at your fingertips, the people in charge aren't very smart. Automate a system administrator? Good luck replicating a bearded Unix loving man with a penchant for energy drinks who gets angry every time something breaks. As someone who works alongside sys admins, I feel as though I am allowed to say that.

Amaze us, NSA.

"Regular" people give away their private info to Facebook as well. Most do this kind of stuff because they don't realize the implications, not because they think that it's really OK to do that. Sure, some might not care at all, but most simply have no clue. Unobtrusive DRM is actually even worse than obtrusive one, precisely because people might think that it's acceptable. It's like having hidden cameras in people's houses, and them getting comfortable with it, because they don't see it.

I didn't mean my numbers to be accurate. That's why I referred to them as a start.

Yes, there would be considerations such as the differences between rental prices in NYC vs Idaho, or whatever.

But more importantly, what happens if there's a hefty increase in taxes? -A lot of businesses will shut down or get the fuck out, and then the tax burden is just that much heavier on everyone who's left, and then they're even more motivated to shut down or get out. It's a feedback loop of higher taxes.
You might even say that's...Epic.

Or not. I'd recommend not.
To be frank, the juxtaposition is still odd.
If Dean has a superhuman power, then, it’s not the ability to do things perfectly in an instant. It’s the power to prioritize and optimize and deal in orders of magnitude. Put another way, it’s the power to recognize an opportunity to do something pretty well in far less time than it would take to do it perfectly.

The take away message is that Worse is Better!
I'm deadly serious. The 2 points you consider evidence of me "not having a clue" are including Bootstrap and jQuery? Are you serious?

It's the first iteration - I've included the entire bootstrap lib for speed and ease whilst developing a UI and the entire jquery lib because it just ships with rails. As for the MIT license stripping, that is a weird one, because I'm simply using the jquery-rails gem, no tampering on my part. I'll look into why it strips that out.

Maybe you don't get the "1st iteration" idea, but to me it should look like shit. I just want feedback ASAP. And guess what, it worked. Thanks for yours.

OP here. In Slovenia we had a well publicised deadline of 15. June 2013 to implement the strict opt-in version of the directive with penalties up to 30.000 EUR if failing to do so. So most sites actually implemented annoying cookie dialogs.

The irony is that most websites can actually avoid using invasive cookies all-together and avoid confusing users with cookie dialogs. That was our strategy when ensuring compliance for our clients and the submitted no-cookie GA library was a part of that.
"Parasite" is kind of a charged word. Trying to reinvent it as something OK is walking blithely into doublespeak territory. If you feel you need to redeem it, then okay, but I'm not seeing your reasons for wanting to.
Ignoring for the moment the argument that the grandmother may well have paid a load of taxes before getting alzheimers, one thing that would seem fundamental is that the grandmother gave birth to a parent of the carer, without which the carer would not have existed at all, so how can the grandmother be considered a parasite?
Right now, I am trying to fix my spelling and grammar. I do this through feedback with the people who I am chating with on IRC.

I am also building SRS(Spaced repetition systems) decks cataloging grammar mistakes I made, formal grammar rules, as well all the spelling mistakes I made. Right now, I have 25 cards for spelling, and 55 for grammar.

The process of noticing my mistakes, being corrected, and learning about errors is a slow process. It has been going on for a month now. Two of my biggest issues are verb conjugations and plurals.

Edit: Fixed according to feedback

My uncle worked for a large railroad in Chicago, in their switching office. "You need a train engineer because that means someone not in management or the switching office is the guy whose hands were physically on the machine right before poor Mrs. Milly died. There is no other purpose to have them on the train. People like to think that having eyes on the ground stops accidents, because they think eyes on the ground stops physics, but if you are on the train track and the engineer can see you then physics says you better get off the train track because neither the engineer nor anyone save God Himself will stop the train from reaching your current location."

The train engineer's job is to hit the start button when the switching office says to. It's drive-by-wire, and he's not only just a wire, he's statistically speaking the most bug prone wire on the train.

He also had some sharp words for management on the topic of encouraging engineers to think they were responsible for accidents, claiming that it caused preventable suicides after unpreventable ones.
What has sharing personal information on facebook got to do with DRM? What does an informed person have against DRM if it lets him use the content anyway they want to consume it (e.g. netflix)? I am just trying to understand what the complaint specifically is.

Not just a template - but I think the page doesn't make this clear enough yet as I've had similar feedback. Thanks.
I think it'd be an interesting philosophical exercise to posit that we sell Facebook data traces about ourselves in return for easy access to data traces about others. What would that really mean, and what moral or economic consequences can be concluded from that?

I personally have no idea.
>>> So a restaurant that once used to have 10 servers working at any given time will need maybe 3 or 4 with automation going on.

Or, more likely, same 10 working part-time to avoid government-mandated expenses for full-time workers. This is what is happening right now. Keeping people on the job becomes more expensive all the time.

>>> either by saying something out loud and it'll try to determine what you said,

Oh how I hate those. I usually press 0 until it gives up and connects me to a live human.

>>> the reason of their not going to restaurants to be the cost of eating out.

See above - employing people gets more and more expensive. You have to abide by a hundred of regulations, have the proper paperwork to prove it, get dozens of licenses, pass inspections, and then some lawyer drive-by-sues you for not being ADA-friendly. And then comes the local union and demands you to double the wages because they say so. Of course it'd be expensive.
Yeah I noticed there's a lot of free versions, I just don't like their business model. Although trying to buck the trend when there's already free versions out there might be impossible, we'll see.
> What has sharing personal information on facebook got to do with DRM?

It was a comment on "regular" people. I.e. their acceptance of Facebook's disrespect to their privacy often comes from them being clueless. Same thing with acceptance of DRM which you brought above. People don't think.

> What does an informed person have against DRM

Informed person doesn't trust DRM, and doesn't proliferate it by supporting distributors who push it on people. See the whole discussion above. No point to repeat the explanations.
> NT was designed by the team that did VMS in a 3-month retreat to Hawaii. the design they created has lasted with very minor modifications for the last twenty years. can linux say the same?

How long does it take to design an OS, once you've already done one, and there are others to use as reference?

I don't think there was ever a similar moment in the history of Linux, because Linus copped the design of UNIX, and he states this freely and matter-of-factly.

Knowing English is important for every startup, let alone every software developer.

1. Outside of English-speaking countries, and particularly in the Schengen area, teams are made up of people whose first language isn't the local language. This means that all internal communication happens in English. Companies that make an effort to operate in English internally have a much, much easier time hiring.

2. Investment often comes from outside the country, particularly from the US, even if your company doesn't operate or sell outside of its home country. Your CEO is going to have to pitch your company in English, and your investors are going to have foreigners perform their due diligence.
The high price is really just a test - that failed. I'll try again with a much lower price or maybe just a free version (although I don't like that idea at all, it's still worth testing).

I actually have a Syrian friend who I've recently been talking to about the situation in Syria and what this man said is mostly true except that this has been brewing for a long time.

My friend's grandfather was sent to jail when his mother was 6, becuase his grandfather was a sunni politian against hafez assad's regim.

His grandfather was in jail for 20/30 years and he told me how his mother didnt even know or remember her father until he was let out and she got to know him.

He told me how when his mother was in school soldiers would drag sunni girls wearing hijab (face cover) by their hair out of the schools and they would never be seen again.

The government would treat Sunnis like second class citizens.

And something he didn't mention and most people don't know is that this very same thing is starting to happened in Lebanon.

The army of Lebanon is hizbollah which is a Shia terrorist organisation and they have been mistreating Sunnis and now Sunnis are starting to rebel. I have a friend that was living in Lebanon and moved back to Australia because he told me a civil war is going to start.

Yes this is really what sparked the idea, I still get asked all the time to help setup a little one-pager (launchrock just isn't enough information) but I can't justify the time to do, hence a hosted option. Expanding that to just helping them get off the ground is a nice idea. Thanks.
The amount of progress in knowledge and technology in the past 200-250 years or so (pretty much all of the Industrial Revolution) really is staggering. Take someone from 1750, drop him in the world of 1500, and things would have been pretty familiar. Move 250 years in the other direction and he'd be hard-pressed to make heads or tails of anything (assuming you're taking someone from a part of the developed world -- for the developing world, the changes would be less pronounced, but still likely significant).
English is a tricky language, good on you for attempting to master it - you can write better in English than I can in any other language!

I hope you don't mind me providing some feedback on your writing!

"I am trying to fix my spellings and grammar." - We generally say "spelling and grammar", even though "spellings" is technically correct - when people say they want to improve their spelling, they generally talk about a skill rather than individual spellings.

"It been going on for a month now." - It (has) been going on for a month now - although this could have easily been a typo.

Best wishes on your endeavour.
If there's a language rule that says you can't combine these two this way, I'd be more than happy to learn about it. English is not my mother language so I apologize for any grammar/spelling mistakes in advance ;-)
It will offer more, maybe the page wasn't very clear. Primarily, the landing pages will have that much content on, as oppose to the minimal launchrock page. I don't think there's enough information on the launchrock version. I was planning on helping with the content, as well as guiding them through it with the UI.

I over-use commas, all the bloody, time. Thanks!
So, I don't know Rust very well and their code is not really documented at all, so this is just a guess. But...

It seem that the default world container assigns an integrator called "BodySmpEulerIntegrator", for which I can't seem to find the source. In any case, with a name like that I would have two predictions:

a) 'Smp' stands for 'simple' in which case this would be a stock/naive/vanilla Euler integrator. If that's indeed true, then I suspect the answer is that it will NOT handle the transition to SE(n>2), as they tend to blow up when the Hamiltonian becomes at all stiff. That is usually the case for your standard 6N+2 dof system in 3D.

b) 'Smp' stands for 'symplectic', which would make the default integrator some form of symplectic euler integrator. To my knowledge any SI should handle a 3D non-timevariant, non-chaotic Hamiltonian. This seems much more likely, given the amount of effort they've put in. Indeed, if you look at the examples that have a 2- and 3-D version, they don't seem to reassign the integrator.

That's a lot of guess-work on my part, though.
I definitely agree. I choose to study CS in English because of this. CS is made to be taught in English. I have a friend who was struggling in English and when she applied for a job the interviewer didn't even asked how her English was, all the interviewer questions were in English.

The US government is flawed on a deep constitutional level. The incentive structures and oversight mechanisms are broken. The constitution is pretty much a joke at this point. The founders knew it would become outdated quickly and recommended rewriting it every 25 years or so.
