Well, in so far as the episode by the pool was concerned, there was consensus among all three present--Kennedy included--that he should not have done what he did. Perhaps he was just shamed by Powers. That doesn't reflect well on him either.
Reminds me of Clayton Christensen's book How Will You Measure Your Life? which deals with questions of dividing time between work and family. It isn't long and I'm glad I read it (though I wouldn't call it a page turner). One of the points he makes is that your family life is like any other investment, and you need to actively invest in it to be able to get a good return later in life.

Two words: Character Assassination.

These seemingly mild form of abuse are precursors to physical violence. You really have to understand how clandestine operations work to fully grasp the concept.

I suggest you guys watch/listen to his final speech on youtube and really pay attention and listen to what he was saying before he got assassinated. Quite a few of the elite didn't like JFK.

You don't just get rid of someone arbitrarily. Especially if they have a public following and great influence. You have to destroy their credibility first and demonize them to prevent the public from inquiring and asking to many questions.

JFK and Michael Jackson are the prime examples of this. Listen to MJ's songs and the message he was trying to convey. Does it really align to what he was accused of? and ohh by the way the F.B.I. realized a statement after his death saying that none of the accusations were true and that he was innocent.

Never take anything at face value, do the research yourself.

In theory, you could use something like MD5 auth, but really there's not much point.
I think you are improperly comparing community consensus with tragedy of the commons. Community consensus is more akin to regulation than it is to nash equilibria. It's the nash equilibria that has been a bad heuristic for finding the global happiness maxima, because it's through the nash equilibria that the tragedy of the commons occurs. In contrast, effective regulation can better ensure the global happiness maxima. So that's why community dialogue and a rough consensus of mores can be useful and productive towards the health of a society.

This is something that I wrestle with on a regular basis. I am not a top engineer... I am not even an engineer at all. I work in support and want to move over to programming. Reading the writing on the wall... programming is the future, if you want to make a good life for yourself from working in technology.

That said, I have a little girl about to hit 2 years old and a wife of almost 5 years. And I'm going to hit 40 in about 2 weeks. I don't learn as quickly and easily I learned when I was much younger.

I know it takes some serious chops and time investment to learn to code. I guess that I just have to trust that I'll get "there" eventually... a little bit at a time.

While I want to continually improve and make a good life for my family... it would be a total travesty to do it at their expense.

btw, the struggle I refer to is the fact that for turning 40 soon... I don't feel old. I just feel like I should have accomplished more with my life, by this time. Know what I mean?

The Invisible Gorilla Strikes Again [pdf]
"democracy cannot survive overpopulation. Human dignity cannot survive it. Convenience and decency cannot survive it. As you put more and more people onto the world, the value of life not only declines, it disappears. It doesn't matter if someone dies." by Isaac Asimov

Wow, this comes off as the first of many hit pieces against Google more than an objective review of the current state of affairs. It wouldn't be surprising to see this as competition picks up.

The entire article is summed up fairly well in this one line "But for all its expertise in developing search technology and software, Google has zero experience building cars."

He effectively ignores the fact that Google is demonstrably farther along in development than any other company. Not to mention this isn't even a problem of building cars, it is a problem of software and AI, both of which Google is slightly more experienced than BMW, Audi, or any of the other companies he mentions.

All of his concerns about the timeline of this work seem to be based on some idea that in ten years, automation will only be ready for "limited highway driving" and that there are a lot of "Uncertain road" issues that aren't accounted for in these estimates. This differs greatly from Google's claims I read last year.

I couldn't bring myself to do more than skim the second half of the article but I saw no actual evidence to support his thesis of automation being farther away than expected (i.e., ten years). I only saw evidence to suggest I shouldn't bank on the auto-makers to get there first.
I studied at Eindhoven University of Technology, where Dijkstra walked around for quite some time. His students stayed with him and became teachers. They all copied his handwriting.

No kidding - my first two years in college consisted, for a large part, of watching elderly men with beards write on blackboards in exactly that handwriting.

I can't help wonder whether they all drove the same car as Dijkstra too.

> Researchers have shown that people often miss the occurrence of an unexpected yet salient event if they are engaged in a different task, a phenomenon known as inattentional blindness. However, demonstrations of inattentional blindness have typically involved naive observers engaged in an unfamiliar task. What about expert searchers who have spent years honing their ability to detect small abnormalities in specific types of images? We asked 24 radiologists to perform a familiar lung-nodule detection task. A gorilla, 48 times the size of the average nodule, was inserted in the last case that was presented. Eighty-three percent of the radiologists did not see the gorilla. Eye tracking revealed that the majority of those who missed the gorilla looked directly at its location. Thus, even expert searchers, operating in their domain of expertise, are vulnerable to inattentional blindness.
Assuming your concern is across a single/uniform language:

How about Smalltalk as a basis or the foundation of what you want? If somebody pursues the approach, how hard would it be to develop a layer that takes care of the safe-unsafe issue?

MOP: extensibility without ubiquitous useful patterns.
My experience says that "ubiquitous patterns" manifest when you use a technology against real problems. So use the MOP to tackle several problems and then watch the patterns emerge. If 1/25th of the raw brain power had been applied to abominations like PHP had been diverted to using Lisp and exploring the meta patterns in there.... my gut says your blog post would have been about some cool framework you wrote to solve the problem ;)

On the other hand, if your concern crosses the single language barrier (you mention LINQ) then what sits at the top of Object Model A and Object Model B? It is some Meta Model or a specific library framework that understands both. Back to the meta again, back to all those leaves on a branch of history left unexplored.

What do we have instead? Brainpower, time, money and youth/a generation being devoted to the "hip hop VM" at Facebook.

Given your prolific programming output (thank you for pip and virtualenv, big admirer) it is no wonder that you ponder these issues and wish to pursue something higher up. What I was trying to get at is that, respectfully, you are not the first and that there might be some lessons in the history of our profession that we could learn from and use as a basis for progress.

Regarding ZeroVM, I am a bit confused as to what exactly "moving apps to data means". If I have a 20 GB log file to process living on a filesystem, how do I "move" my Python processor script to it?
Hello World - My path into web development...
All that is fine and kudos to you for having that ambition. Do remember that you also need to know how things work and what makes them work.

Internet, at its root, is a communication medium. Things like facebook, google+, pinterest, snapchat, etc. are part of a VERY natural evolution of this medium.

Being part of the chaos doesnt mean you cant see order amidst it. That's where great entrepreneurs come from. They dont go away from all society and magically, one day, reappear with a brilliant idea. They are in the middle of the chaos, figuring out what works, why it works and how to make it work even better...
After driving 2000km over the weekend and then getting stuck in traffic each day since, I've been wondering the same thing. We're a way off trusting our cars enough to sleep while it's moving at high speed, but a car that could handle the crawl into the CBD would free up drivers to check email, read a book or eat breakfast. A lot of that time is waiting and watching for a light change, or moving slowly down a busy road.

Something a bit like cruise control (in the way that it can be quickly overridden) would be a start. Put it in robo-mode and get a warning if you need to take the wheel within the next few seconds.
I know it's tough to look on the bright-side, but consider this.

You're in your mid-30s, no house, no car, no wife and experience in one of the most saught after and well paying professions in the world! Nothing holding you back from living the dream.

You've got money coming in from your consulting gig, but maybe that isn't what you want to do. You've got a good grasp of the english language, but you mention 'nothing put away for medical', so I assume you're in the USA. I'm also assuming, since you're on HackerNews, that you're interested in start-ups and working on cool tech.

I've got many friends from different parts of the world who would die to be in your shoes. If I wanted to move to the US, I'd be dying to be in your shoes too.

If you're not in one of the tech-hubs now, why not move? It costs too much to move? Companies will pay your moving expensive. Moving to a new city is hard? You bet it is, I've done it twice in the last two years, but what have you got to loose. You can be miserable where you are, or miserable somewhere else.

Eh, I don't know but the 'open question' argument has always made sense to me: 'For any non-moral description of an action or object it seemed that competent speakers could without confusion doubt that the action or object was appropriately characterized using a moral term such as ‘good’ or ‘right’. The question of whether the action or object so described was good or right was always open, even to competent speakers.'

C and Unix were invented in the 70's. Yes, things have improved a lot in the meantime, but underneath, it seems like a lot of the really basic paradigms are the same. We're mostly typing imperative code into a plain text editor, saved in a disk file in a tree-shaped filesystem, that probably runs on a Unix-like system. Maybe Windows, but in the space of all possible operating systems/environments, they're not that far apart.
We use them appended to our error logs to be able to filter out logs by sections of the code; for example #userSignupFlow #asyncTask, etc.

I also use hashtags on Twitter to find things happening at an event where I am (conference, talk, etc.), and post pictures that I take etc/quotes from the speakers, etc.

On Instagram, I use hashtags in my searches to find pictures of cities where I have lived/visited that I miss; my girlfriend is an artist, and does public art, and uses them in a similar way to find people posting pictures of her works.

> The assignment or transfer of a patent necessarily implies the original holder isn't interested in the state-conferred monopoly that a patent is, and therefore he's not interested in having a monopoly on the invention the patent covers.

It means no such thing. The monopoly has value whether they go through with production themselves or sell it. Selling it just realizes the value in the short term rather than the long.

What seems missing from this HUGE discussion about "the end of antibiotics" is vaccination.

There is work in progress toward a MRSA vaccine[1,2,3], though it won't be easy. Nevertheless, the way I see it, vaccines are a strategic approach, while antibiotics are tactical.

Obviously we need to continue to pursue both, but I just think it's important to consider and even maybe refocus our efforts to deal with MRSA and other tricky fast evolving bacteria that become widespread and problematic in our communities by pushing hard for vaccine development.

Ah right, you were luckier then I was.

I took an AI course at uni so that I could see some Lisp in action (and learn AI) but the bastard lecturers (2 of them) change it to ... JAVA! While still using the Norvig textbook that had the algorithms in LISP-y pseudocode. And with lead lecturer being a Vietnamese PhD who couldn't speak enough English to explain the most basic concept. 2/3 of the class flunked.

Way to go on your initiative to look for papers and context around your other courses! I bet the perspective it gave you has helped.
Some Simple Facts You Should Know About IVA Loans - JUGOmoneymatters
Really? Because the only people able to get paid after their work has been automated (textiles, manufacturing) are those who are able to collect from social safety nets, and they barely get by.

I'm all for a more equitable distribution of wealth though, through a combination of a much more solid web of social programs and higher taxes levied on top recipients of income (I dare not confuse those with "earners").
I'm not sure what to glean from your comment. Do you already have a family? If not, you should consider not having one in the first place. Your would-be wife and children will be happier with someone who supports AND spends time with them.
I don't know how that works,

God forbid say your dad is sick- Will you go and tell him- 'Dad, you better die for the sake humanity and than take these antibiotics and have you pain reduced'.

If you are poor, will you tell your kid- 'Sorry son, I have to sacrifice you for the sake of humanity, no more antibiotics for you'

The parent comment to yours is correct. Poor have better immune systems, because theirs is trained to handle such situations from their birth than yours and mine which live well sanitized environments and have never been exposed to them before.

That's at least true in a country like India. I'm not sure where you live, poor people dying out of fatal infections is one thing. But its also a fact, some that requires me or you take a sick leave doesn't even bother them.

> so C doesn't have proper type safe enums (though you could hack those up with typedef + cpp), but does require casts for most type conversions (except those for void*).

That still does not make them safe, implicit conversion to int will still happen.

No type safety.

That aren't part of any C compiler. So you can't count them being available.

You lost me there.

Yes, that is why I use Modern C++, C#, Java, D and will only use C at gunpoint.

> tl;dr: pascal and C are more alike than different.

True, except in Pascal when bad things happen is because the developer explicitly wanted them to happen.

In C everything goes and to have Pascal's safety back, all modern C compilers provide static analyzers. Thus proving a point about the languages design's.

I guess that begs the question: how is a web app that reposts content that doesn't belong to them and with zero revenue a "$3.8 billion company" again?

Quite possibly better than a human, since adrenaline is only so fast at moving humans from a relaxed state to hyperalertness, while computers can always perform at full capacity, and computers are probably better at predicting how to accelerate an object moving at high speed in order to avoid collision with multiple other objects moving at high speed.

You used the wrong term. What's lethal is not "infection" with rabies -- but a full-blown case of rabies.

Rabies infection is very survivable if caught before symptoms start to show up. We have a post-infection vaccine that can be used during the incubation period. We've had a vaccine for over a hundred years, and it works very well. In fact, the original rabies vaccine was the second vaccine ever developed, after smallpox.

What's lethal is symptomatic rabies -- but even that is not 100% lethal. There have actually been a few (under a dozen) documented cases of human survival after symptomatic rabies. Look up the Milwaukee Protocol.

Problem is, the treatment lies within the realm of heroic medicine, works less than 10% of the time, and requires a long period of physical therapy afterwards. The cost easily goes into the seven figures. And we don't even know if the treatment works. Survival might simply be the luck of the genetic draw.

So, $10 million to save the life of one patient with symptomatic rabies, vs. $2000 for the vaccine. So you can see why the treatment protocol emphasizes post-infection vaccination.

These technologies basically already exist in current production cars:

Autonomous Cruise Control [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_cruise_control_syste...] for changing speed up/down and even breaking depending on the car in front.

Lane Departure Warning System [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lane_departure_warning_system] for ensuring you stay in the right lane, some cars will even steer you back in.

Audi has a gearbox that changes it's shift pattern based on upcoming corners identified by the GPS.

Mercedes has advanced pedestrian/object detection integrated into their higher-end cars to prevent collisions.

and there are probably many other advances already present in cars that basically allow them to drive themselves without much user-concentration these days.

> One has to wonder: where is the money coming from that drives up these rents, if wages are stagnant? The issue is supply and demand.

I think housing is a typical example of a market that probably benefits from regulation -- a family without a place to live can't simply choose not to pay rent, or try to get a mortage to buy a house -- while (most) sellers have a much stronger position.

I seem to recall private debt is very high in the US, especially in medium to low income brackets -- so I'm guessing the money comes from credit? Which may or may not lead to another swath of bad loans.

People keep throwing around the liability/cost issues, but the savings to our system in the healthcare and auto insurance sectors alone will more than offset any potential downside, to say nothing of the lives that will be saved. My prediction is that it will be so good, that it will eventually become a requirement in all new cars and it will fundamentally change the face of our society. Trauma bays, EMTs, auto insurance companies and the like will all have to cope with this change.
