Correct, as Putin pointed out in the piece (in the section I quoted above).

The point I was making was that this a political play by an invested actor, not the passionate reasoned plea it was trying to come across as. That was quite an omission he made there, though it made sense rhetorically for his purpose. The poster above found him/herself "not only nodding along but inspired" by they man who is responsible for the weapons that have killed tens of thousands in this conflict so far.
Just to be 100% crystal clear:

I think teenagers still make mistakes and I do not support photos of them being in general circulation in any form. I am upset at a boyfriend getting charged with CP possession when his girlfriends parents find out that they are sexting.

I also am against photos of teenagers getting distributed, but some teenagers look for teenage porn, and it shouldn't be as big of an offence as actual CP.
It is. The intern said that in the video.

Economist Tyler Cowen has some advice for what to do about America's income inequality: Get used to it. ...

In the interview, the economist basically says "give up" because that's the way things are going. The economist attributes (mostly) this to computers.

"Computers will play a larger role and people who can work with computers can make a lot."

But those who aren't in the "top 15%" will be okay, since:

"... But I think people who are not rich can be extremely happy. And I think the chances to be happy in this new world, with many more opportunities to be creative, to be online, to educate yourself — there'll be a lot more chances to be happy. It's not to say everyone will take them or be equipped to take them, but there will be a lot of new paths to opportunity."

I do not subscribe to this wishful thinking...

> You should make it clearer that you don't actually handle voice recognition.

You're right, we'll make it more clear on the landing page. A full out-of-the-box integration with some voice recognition engines (we love CMU Sphinx, open source) is in our roadmap.

" My generation (approaching 30) were among the first to have always on, reasonably high speed internet and yes that did mean easy access to pornography but despite that the majority of us are in long term relationships."

My impression is that this generation has historical low levels of involvement in long term relationships and family formation

(not arguing that causality is internet porn ---> people don't get married, but it's an interesting data point)
The book to read here is What Intelligence Tests Miss, by Keith Stanovich. In it he argues cogently for both the importance and validity of IQ and the limitation of its scope. Rationality is not a concept contrived by theologians! (I find this idea extremely funny.)

You are referring to Howard Gardner's popular idea of Multiple Intelligences, which has been roundly criticized for having pretty much zero support. To quote the book,

Consider a thought experiment. Imagine that someone objected to the emphasis given to horsepower (engine power) when evaluating automobiles. They feel that horsepower looms too large in people's thinking. In an attempt to deemphasize horsepower, they then being to term the other features of the car things like "braking horsepower" and "cornering horsepower" and "comfort horsepower". Would such a strategy make people less likely to look to engine power as an indicator of the "goodness" of a car? I think not. [...] Just as calling "all good car things" horsepower would emphasize horsepower, I would argue that calling "all good cognitive things" intelligence will contribute to the deification of MAMBIT [Mental Abilities Measured By Intelligence Tests].

> the recent cultural shift with the prevalence of handheld computing has a lot of negative side effects and we need to rethink the norms

One possible rethinking of the norms would be to worry less about teenagers, letting them sext if that's their thing, and advising them to not let societal abuse (e.g. bullying) get to them.

Scenario: a teenager sends a nude picture to a friend and the picture becomes public.

Possible solutions:

1. We keep teenagers from sexting, and people from seeing pictures that teenagers sexted.

2. We learn to not abuse teenagers who sexted and had their pictures leaked.

The latter is harder, but it's better long term. You can force people to not do what might harm them somehow, but you should look at the fundamentals: why do people suffer consequences when they sext? Is it because of the sexting itself, or the reaction people have to it?

> I'm very upset that this is the top comment on here. 14 year old teenagers are definitely children and they do need to be protected by law from predators. Just because they are old enough to have children of their own doesn't make them adults. Is not OK for sites or individuals to be collecting sexual images of children and distributing them.

Age is a spectrum. A better definition of, say, a 16 year old would be "not quite an adult, not quite a child". They're closer to adulthood than to childhood, but still don't have some of the baggage of adulthood. Talk to a 16 year old and you'll find out that they don't want that lack of baggage to keep them from enjoying the benefits of being treated like adults. I doubt having a line drawn that says you're not an adult until you're 18 years old, and until then you're still a child will keep working in this century. It worked when social dynamics between teenagers and adults were different.

>Do we need real data to know that too much porn is a bad thing?

Yes, we do. We also need a definition of "too much". For too many people, "too much" means "more than I prefer."

>If I wanted to look at pictures of girls when I was a horny teen, I had the bra section of the JC Penny catalog.

Those pictures fulfill the same purpose as looking at a girl with no clothes. The motivation was the same.

>The jump from that to the type of online porn that exists today is pretty big

You know what's an even bigger jump? Going from looking at pictures to actually seeing a real naked female, or actually having sex. That's as "hardcore" as it gets for a person, no? Yet everyone manages, forever throughout human history, often with no intermediate steps of seeing pictures of women. Crazy, I know.

I'll name 4 possible explanations of many. I'm not listing these to justify any behavior, just to explain what I've seen.

1) If the company has someone in particular in mind that they want to sponsor for a visa, they need to prove they couldn't find someone local, so they tailor an unattainable or excessively tight job description. This is real, and happens very frequently.

2) Many companies discredit experience gained elsewhere. "2 years with us is worth 5 years anywhere else." So they set the bar high.

3) HR reps get burned by letting unqualified people through. If they can't understand themselves if someone knows Python, but they know the last 3 peoples with 5 years experienced got crushed in the interview, then they ask for 10 years.

4) Most firms know that employee referrals are the highest percentage shot for good hires of both technical and cultural fit. As such, the external barrier is much higher than the internal barrier. At my current and prior employer, I could get anyone an interview for an open position by dropping their resume off at HR. It didn't matter if they fit the credentials as long as I vouched for them. This helps them avoid point 3, because if the interview doesn't go well, they're off the hook.

We can talk about the injustice of this, but there is a simple answer. If there is a place that you want to work, make a friend there. Or make a friend who has a friend there.
You should expand your horizon once in a while. JAX-RS has ben her for a while. Ditto with Spring MVC.
My concerns were similar.

What bus can be used which will be fast enough for all of the components to work together? Sticking a cpu, camera, memory, and screen on the same bus will cause an amazing bottleneck.

How will the components be made to fit in the same thickness? Can you really fit a higher resolution camera in a larger (but not thicker) package?

In that regard, what's to stop someone from making an uber battery which only takes up a few slots but then covers the previous layer on the back, thereby increasing the real estate?

How much force can those pins hold?

Will the bins be biased in some way such that the positive will be every N pins and negative every M pins, and data lines every L pins or something? If so, will the holes be keyed to ensure proper placement?

There are a lot of questions to be answered before this thing can come to fruition, and I think the bus is going to be the biggest limitation. There's a reason this phone doesn't exist yet, as I'm sure hardware manufacturers would love to continue selling people hardware over and over, but there's a genuine problem with bandwidth in this setup where anything can go anywhere.

A better solution would be universal plugs/ports with specific uses for each port. Battery port, CPU port, memory port, and then accessory ports, just like a modern desktop. This would allow the components with the largest bottlenecks to have their own dedicated bus.
While I do feel the sentiments against paying again for a successor, it makes me feel sick[1]. It's 5 bucks; generously about two coffees. After apple takes it's cut the developer receives about US$3.5, just how many copies does the developer need to sell to make it a worthwhile venture?
Reeder has been in the AppStore since September '09, until it went free in June '13.
That's, in todays terms, 3.75years of support and updates for an app that cost's US$5 today. If Reeder2 takes the same path, that would be about US$1 per year taxable income to the developer.

[1]: I think this will become even more apparent over the next few years. Buy once for 99c, get lifetime updates is no sustainable business model.

I thought reddit is all that. And since people know who got rid of the story from top page, it means moderation is transparent. Although it's fine if you don't agree with the moderation.

In prior messages you said "Where can we find freedom to discuss on this large and free internet today, uncensored anything we like? Wikipedia?" I think it's not a good idea to have no moderation - I have a blog where I post once in few months, and daily it gets few spam comments (no real comments). So my point is all websites require moderation - especially popular ones.

On a personal note, when I hear the phrase "special relationship", to me it implies that more data is shared. For example Russia shared with US that they thought Boston bomber could be a terrorist, yet there's no "special relationship" there - still the countries share data. It would make sense that countries with a "special relationship" share more.

I agree sharing political spy data is terrible, but it's likely that's just a legal clause.
Apple is apparently already approving releases built against the iOS 7 SDK, so it may indeed be an iOS 7 app already.

> AFAIK there is no official way to interact with Siri or Google voice rec.

Actually there are ways. On Android devices, voice rec is available to devs (even offline if the user enabled it!). We have a simple tutorial about how to integrate on Android https://wit.ai/docs/android-tutorial

Right now on iOS you have two options (none of them involves Siri, which is kept closed by Apple):

1/ Do the voice rec server-side (Siri does that)

2/ Use OpenEars to do it client-side

Server-side, you have many voice rec options, including open source CMU Sphinx.

Providing a fully-integrated solution with speech rec out of the box is in our roadmap.
Nice idea. But I simply fail to see how this could make something more than another geek toy.
Interesting the calculator includes utilities and tax bills as costs for the buyer but not the renter. Is this common in the US, for all bills to be included? In Europe here, once you factor in the additional costs of council tax and all utilities, the cross-over period reduces to about 4 years, as many people have commented previously.
Sure, marriage does seem to be down amongst the people I know in long term relationships but that mostly seems to be (in my circle) down to apathy about the concept, as they deem it pointless. "Who needs paper and a £10k party to show your love?" sort of thing.

That's an odd statement. Isn't 12-factor a requirement for Docker apps? It's not like you're "stopping and forking containers" in production; that's just a convenience for development.

In order to reduce electronics waste, we should recycle what's already there. Not invent a new phone that's easier to recycle.

It's not.

I was doing webdev in the 90s when Netscape Navigator was king.

I have always believed that Microsoft won the browser war, less because of integration with Windows and more because IE4 was so much better. It was generations ahead of Netscape and they focused on making a canvas for developers (excuse the HTML5 pun).

Lots of the 'Microsoft ignores standards' crowd were Netscape centric people who did not like that with IE4 Microsoft tried lots of new stuff but in hindsight this forward push propelled the idea of the web as a platform for development.

Most people using the internet today never used IE4, they were not there and have no clue how big a deal it was.

Interesting point concerning net-neutrality:

First this:

This proposal will end discriminatory blocking and throttling and deliver effective protection of the open internet. It sets out clear rules for traffic management on the Internet, which has to be non-discriminatory, proportionate and transparent.

Then that:

Companies would however be allowed to differentiate their offers (for example by speed) and compete on enhanced quality of service. There is nothing unusual about this – postal services (express mail) and airlines (economy/business class) have done this for decades. But this is subject to a vital pre-condition: that the quality of open Internet must not be impaired.

Would make a nifty niche browser extension I imagine.
Qt is making a change to what iOS/Cocoa, Android, and Microsoft developers call a 'webview', an embedded browser engine. Qt's version of a webview will switch from WebEngine to Chromium. So if you want to render a browser page inside an application built with Qt, in the future this page it will use Chromium's engine, not WebEngine which was a homegrown engine based on webkit.

This 500MB/s a merged stream when using all cores, I got like 140MB/s on one (from my answer in the SO thread you linked).

And I'm not ranting, I'm just crying over a lost opportunity. Nowadays you must spend time to think which PRNG to use and how to implement it to satisfy some quality/speed trade-off; an RNG (infinite cycle by design) directly connected to CPU (no transfer bottlenecks) that passes Die Hard (read random enough for science) would be a golden bullet.

Yes, PRNG makes RDRAND faster than its entropy source in its current design; but it is not hitting any wall. Intel engineers could made it way faster if they had focused on maximal throughput possible not just big enough for crypto.
I think it's lacking in scope of what's possible in the future. If you stick to the status quo of how things are, then yeah, the future will be shit for most people. The status quo will be different in the future though.

Loosely related anecdote: in a technical electronics high school my teacher showed us, as a cool trick to impress us, how to actually solder this way - you make a nice little ball from tin with the soldering iron, put it over the first pin of a multi-pin chip and let the ball freely fall through the other pins. It takes a lot of practice, but bits of tin stick to pins forming proper soldering joints and the (somewhat smaller) ball continues to fall. If you are good at it it's really faster then soldering each pin separately.
