As a brother and a parent who had went through the cancer journey. My son had bone cancer(passed away in April 2013, age 12.5) and my sister who had brain cancer (passed away 1996, age 15)

1) Open Standards: Images need to be shared from any hospital or lab to any doctor via internet! I had to go through the scan praying that there wasn't a new tumor or that the tumor was small etc... Wait 15 minutes for the CDs to be printed and my son was in pain and just wanted to go home. OR I forget and have to go through an hour or two days to get a copy BEFORE I can see the doctor. Also doctors should feel comfortable using whatever program they want to view MRI or CT scans!

2) Video: My son loved going to one hospital because they had a video player that went over his eyes! Awesome lets raise the money to get one at our local hospital. it cost over $40,000 :(. Really????

3) Open MRI systems are great. http://www.mrispecialists.net/Equipment.shtml

Any thoughts on the actual content of the article rather than the presentation style? Or is it the lack of a neatly packaged conclusion that throws you off? It seems like a perfectly readable exposition to me, even if I don't necessarily agree with author's points.

I would be extremely surprised if (quoting from article) it is only "as many as several hundred" accounts are being used by people paid to edit Wikipedia. I know at least a dozen people who have a wikipedia account just to edit articles to make where they work look good (I suppose it is not their full time job, but it is the only reason they edit wikipedia).
That is so wrong.

They may have performed work for you, and they might not have gotten paid. You open yourself to so much liability it's not funny. A judge would look very unkindly to such practice.

If you just want to save time but the Soylent thing creeps you out, try this: stop eating as often.

If you quote William Gibson's analysis of Japanese society as authoritative or insightful, you already lose. Gibson's social commentary has always had a strong element of pseudointellectual profundity masquerading as depth.

In terms of tech adoption, Japan may have been ahead of the USA in some respects, but in terms of how their society is structured they're still a few decades behind. Their treatment of women, in particular, would strike an American as archaic and quaintly Mad Men at best, and at worst barbaric and abusive. But the expectation of men -- to attach oneself to the underbelly of some company and be taken care of for life in exchange for labor and undying loyalty -- also comes, in the American perspective, from a long-bygone era.

Younger Japanese (age 40 and below) tend to be more worldly and cognizant of other cultures, and understand that the social structures which served their parents and grandparents are keeping Japan held back and isolated, economically and socially. But because of deeply ingrained Confucian cultural values about submission to elders, there's little they can do about it. The gooey nougat of the hikikomori phenomenon is, it's sort of a quiet rebellion against the complicated and restrictive social protocols that are part and parcel of being Japanese. It is the same with otaku: however trivial their interests may be, they are determined to follow their own interests and choose their own path, rather than simply do what is expected of them.

Is it possible for mainstream Japanese society to evolve to be more flexible and accommodate more individuality, yet still remain distinctly Japanese? We don't know that yet. They haven't tried.
What should Apple do with the iWatch?
Current smartwatches focus on a phone companion. SonyEricsson (now Sony), has been making that mistake for about ten years now, and Samsung is no better.
What apple should do: Some companies like Nike or Jawbone focus on tracking activities. In my opinion, Apple should make a bolder move.

a) Medical industry revolution. The iWatch would monitor people vital signs, and let them know if they are getting sick. It would be like your personal general doctor. People will know what to do before getting sick, and only go to the doctor if necessary. It would save million of lives, reduce the cost related to medicine, and solve the insurance high cost problem in the process. Doctors will have access to more accurate patient diagnostic, patient history, and provide better cares. Young ones who can’t explain their symptoms won’t have to. We would be able to gather more data, and learn more from the human body. We would also be able to see disease progression, so researchers could come up with breakthrough treatments… etc

b) Ability to wirelessly control physical devices by tracking muscular movements (they should immediately buy startups like Myo and Nymi).

C) iWatch integration with the Apple TV. Using what mention in (b), the user could control the apple TV with accurate motions (an app has to be activated before to avoid unwanted actions). I can’t tell you how many time I have been looking for my remotes. Apple would have a device far more accurate than motion sensor used on Samsung TVs, Microsoft Kinect, or Playstastion move (yes free pass to the gaming industry once again).

The issue is parents are the most scared they have ever been in their lives. They would rather take what ever their child has and die than have to see them go through the hell that they will be shown in the report, or find out something was missed 6 month prior. It might seem routine to others but I always go extremely stressed a week before any scan. First time parents will be praying that their child isn't going to die so they might be on edge.
Depending upon how far the PR firm goes to circumvent their block, couldn't they be brought up on hacking charges? Could the companies that hire them be found culpable too?

>What specifically is incorrect?

Everything. I mean literally everything. Every single sentence.

First of all.. calling NT 'not multi-user' is laughable. Anyone who knows anything about OS design knows that NT was designed from the ground up to be muti-user - with an extremely well thought out token/object security model that was hands down superior to any other general purpose mainstream OS at the time.

Secondly secureboot is not an active security model. It is a one-time validation of a chained-loading sequence from the uefi/bios to the OS kernel. It has nothing to do with "patching holes" in NT. NT is already a highly secure operating system. Infact, there have only been a very small amount of kernel vulnerabilities ever found in NT compared to most other widely used OSs.

Secure boot is also nothing new. They have been using something similar on the xbox 360 for years. In any case, Secure Boot is an OS agnostic general security 'best practice'. Many Linux distributions are also adopting it.

Interesting that the humidity and pressure are different when using different units (err, the humity and pressure are in the same units regardless of the units setting, but the values are different).
True, but Github does use the halo of "Open Source" a lot to promote themselves (or others promote them using it..e.g. http://www.wired.com/opinion/2013/03/github/) while overlooking the fact that most of their codebase is very close sourced indeed.
>Yet with the advent of unicode, there are fewer needs for a graphical interface - stay for a weather app

Of course the line between graphical and text-only is blurry. I'd argue that even small inline graphics are still graphics and thus not text-only, no matter how they are technically implemented (unicode or some "real" graphics).

Personally I don't think we have to resort for using the unholy mixture of 70s and todays tech that console apps represent to get clutter-free desktop experience. More importantly I think we could get even more clean interfaces using full graphical capabilities if we'd get a good design ideology/guidelines to build upon. Just because mainstream GUI apps are stuck on WIMP idea doesn't mean that it would be the only way to approach GUI.

You've taken this too far. My point was that while it's possible for me to modify my experience to my liking, I keep as many "defaults" as possible so as to have as close to the same experience as my clients and their customers.
If you put it in your PS1 then it will make a request every time your PS1 is printed, but it shouldn't be hard to have it cache and check timestamps.
Would syntax for choosing between 64-bit intermediate vs. 32-bit intermediate be appropriate?
Cleanliness is not about theoretical purity in this case. It's about type soundness, something that C doesn't have but which is a major design goal of Rust.

And it does cost you something: autovectorization, as I explained earlier.

The problem with these kinds of discussions is that we aren't talking about expressive power: it's obvious that you can do both 64-bit or 32-bit math in either C or Rust. The issue is just what the defaults should be. In these discussions, small communities (like scientific computing in this case) tend to have oversimplified notions of how things should "obviously" be without understanding the subtleties from other perspectives (like PL design). You don't "just" make the "+" operator return different types depending on context in a language with typeclasses. That can break soundness.
I would agree with you that the iPhone 5 has a better camera than the Nexus 4 but we're talking about camera phones, not a DSLR vs a Point-n-Shoot. It's better but it's not that much better. I'm sure my knowledge of exposure settings and basic rules of photography helped with my photos but they wouldn't have overcome the failings of a dramatically inferior camera.

Regarding the screen, Android's dynamic brightness adjustment setting is much dimmer than iOS's. In iOS you can define it to be brighter or dimmer while still keeping the dynamic adjustment, with Android the dynamic setting is either on or off. If you turn it off on both devices and set brightness to full, they're pretty on par. Colors looked warmer on the Nexus 4 when my gf and I compared the other night but neither screen was noticeably brighter.

That being said, Apple has the highest standards of quality in the industry so it's entirely possible that the quality of the Nexus 4's components varies wildly and I just happened to get a good one.
How fast are they compared to Delphi? Fast compiling was definitely one of Delphi's main selling points back in the day.
Foursquare had about 1.2M lines of code about a year ago (the last time I counted). And that's counting everything: code, tests, HTML & CSS, 3 mobile clients, various toolchain/support projects.

500M seems impossible.

EDIT: It occurs to me that I'm only counting code we wrote ourselves. We, unsurprisingly, use a bunch of open source libraries & third party tools. If you counted up all the lines of code in all those things maybe you get to 500M? Maybe?
You're right. Legally setup foreign businesses can't be forced to comply with US law, unless it's fraud or other criminal activity.

In my experience, only the really big companies focus heavily on algorithms and math puzzles. That's because they don't really need to hire anymore people, they just want to steal 'smart' people, and they don't need to iterate as quicky. Start-ups and smaller companies have in my experience, typically asked full-stack type of questions that dive into things like networking protocols, databases, scalability, and so on. And I believe thats the way it should be. Start-ups that focus heavily on math puzzles and algorithms are doing it wrong.
Using less detail definitely looks better. I noticed that when my window is ~950 pixels wide, though, I lose the names above each person as the display scrolls down. I found the names helpful for understanding who someone was, as I didn't decipher all of the doodled versions perfectly.
/dev/random is not robust
FYI, if you don't want RDRAND to be used on your machine then disable it when you build a kernel (CONFIG_ARCH_RANDOM to n) or pass "nordrand" as a kernel boot parameter. Linus does not need to remove anything from the kernel for you to switch this off on your own.
Very cool! We were just discussing the need for something like this as we have a hybrid on-site/virtual team so our Planning Poker meetings become a bit difficult.

Couple of suggestions:
1) Allow flexible cards...the numbers we tend to use are slightly different
2) Allow mass import of stories once the game has started. Ideally I'd have one persistent URL that I can use in our recurring invite, instead of having to create a new game every time we enter planning. But since I can only do a bulk import when creating a new game I'd have to get a new URL each time.

Hopefully this kind of blatantly unethical behavior follows them around a bit. I don't wish the end of a career upon anybody, but maybe a few doors end up closing for some of these folks that would have otherwise been open.
Trying to say a source for a DDoS? Wtf?

DDoS often uses DNS Reflection to amplify the bandwidth of the attack. The source of the attack will be
a) distributed
b) not the actual attackers.

It's pretty but mostly meaningless.
I always end up with some watermark on my machines. I don't know, I consider them honor badges I suppose?
No, the answer is certainly not correct. Even worse, it's purely speculative and shows that the auther doesn't like MS.

I think it's not about the OS, it's about the drivers. If you would trace the power consumption properly my guess would be that the WiFi module is the culprit. As the hardware is the same, the driver must be the place, where Apple has the edge.
these would be cool swag !

Yes, only marketing.
This quote from James jumped out at me:

“The faculty of voluntarily bringing back a wandering attention, over and over again is the very root of judgment, character, and will.”

When people ask me what the point of meditation is, this is pretty much what I tell them. You are training a certain kind of "mental muscle", i.e. the faculty James mentions in this quote.

I know that James, in addition to being a major psychologist and philosopher, studied world religions. That he would express this sentiment so plainly makes me want to find out more about his investigations (since many religious practices have a meditation component), and to see whether James himself advocated meditation.
Trends In Education Technology
Google Spreadsheet -- always at a click away via Drive app on android. I am constantly adding new ideas, and I organize them from time to time w/ favorites at top - and whimsical ones at bottom.
A couple suggestions:

callback hell -- 1) Define your callback functions instead of passing anonymous functions everywhere. 2) Use a control flow library like async. https://npmjs.org/package/async This will greatly help in complex scenarios and the "waterfall" mode is particularly useful to accomplish something similar to chaining where values flow through multiple functions. Callback hell is not really an issue for most people after looking into these two things.

data manipulation -- https://npmjs.org/package/lodash lodash is a fast functional utility library that makes it much easier to do the everyday data manipulation tasks. I pretty much assume this will be a dependency whenever I start a non-trivial project now.

lack of standards -- Most people who really like node.js see this as a feature not a bug. This definitely drives away many people, but the intention is to promote as much choice as possible. Node.js people tend to be obsessed with choice and modularity. This is not meant as "you should think this way too" type explanation, but just a rough description of how the community is, good or bad. That being said, there are some standards out there. For example Felix's style guide is followed pretty well throughout the community (with a couple notable exceptions such as some of TJ Holowaychuk's stuff) http://nodeguide.com/style.html.

mocha output -- It appears you have your reporter option set to "spec". This is a great reporter for visualizing a set of features, but for integration with something like Jenkins, I would recommend "tap" instead. It is also pretty trivial to write your own reporter, and then you can get whatever type of output you want. https://github.com/visionmedia/mocha/wiki/Third-party-report...

mocha integration testing -- I agree that the example you showed was more of an integration test than a unit test. Mocha is not really doing anything to discourage unit testing though, and I would note that integration tests can be valuable. If it were me, I would tend to have my unit tests working against the actual module, instead of an endpoint, which is kind of sloppy.

I hope that helps though :) I know it is often frustrating coming into a new language ecosystem, especially a "friendly-anarchy" oriented one like node.js.
Except the all important: can they code? Your method may simply be filtering for good conversationalists and/or good bullshitters.
