I think part of the reason I'm uncomfortable with this is that those characteristics I would most desire for my chlid, are not selectable. For example, happiness, gratitude, tolerance, etc. It's not clear whether greater intelligence makes you more or less happy.
Obligatory mental health comment:

Depression is very real, as is SAD. The article has some great suggestions on how to alleviate symptoms. However - as hackers all to often we get stuck in a 'I can hack it, I can fix it' mentality - even when it comes to our own brains.

Sometimes it's just 'the blues'. Often you can 'fix' it. But sometimes you can't.

If you are suffering and nothing you do seems to fix it - please - please - see a doctor. This isn't always something you can fix on your own. We can't afford to lose another hacker - not even you.
I have fully taken the functional Kool-Aid. I like writing what I want, not how to get there.

But this limits me to writing what I want. In some cases, it is more concise to simply write how to get there---especially when you can accomplish two aims at once.
No. But then again, I feel the same way, so my opinion may be biased.

Indeed! I was going to remark the same. Also a side effect of digital zoom is that it is not perfectly sharp. You see this already in the example pictures. After all, digital zoom is more of an effect then real zooming. For this reason I never use digital zoom on a digital camera. On my PC I have software that does a better job :)
I'm actually reading your examples as arguments for doing it - if the decision point is "should I do this for my next kid", then:

Class: No matter what class I am, I would definitely want my kids to [have a chance of] go a class higher than I am, and if I would deny my kids that opportunity for my own reasons, then that would be an evil, selfish act against my children;

Cruelty: If such society really is likely, then the same argument applies even more; I have a clear duty to protect my kids from such cruelty, and that duty is more important than the need to protect myself from some discrimination or conserve financial resources;

Race: well, it doesn't apply for me (same race marriage, all embryos would be the same), so I can't honestly say how it'd feel - but yes, given current experience in many countries it will mean that there will be a bias of skin color. But does it have horrible consequences? I mean, the current effect of gender-biased abortions in large Asian countries results in skewed gender rates and the excess males w/o mates will create social unrest; but race IMHO is generally a cosmetic difference, so nothing really changes if suddenly all of Earth decides to have white, black or purple skin.

Sure I watched it. I was not convinced. Handwaving is not the same as research.

It may be true that fixtures could be set into place in an automated way. Its not true that they can be connected. And certainly no existing fixture is ready to be installed this way.

Housing construction depends upon massive efficiencies of scale. All the new fixtures for these imaginary houses would be designed differently (for robotic installation, not hand-installation). They will start out at a price many multiples of existing fixtures. They will go down ONLY if this process becomes very, very common.

So, maybe this could be used to make novelty houses for the rich. That's about it. The video makes grand claims about cheap housing for the masses. That is preposterous. Folks in India are not suffering from expensive housing because construction is a dangerous occupation. Its land and materials that are expensive. Labor is the cheapest part of their equation I think.

Dealing with pages can get trickier if you allow the user to change the number displayed per page when not on the first page. It's not particularly hard to figure out, but what the right thing to do when the boundaries don't line up is a question that needs to be answered, as well, as well as dealing with user confusion about what page they are then on. Dealing with number ranges instead of pages solves these problems, at the cost of some readability.

And that is exactly why this will become a runaway success/runaway societal problem. Because no sane parent would opt-out and put their own child at risk.
Your points are all good ones.

The likely problem is the potential for increased suffering for future generations, not necessarily to the child to be immediately born.

There are genes that a usually superior when heterogenous. Sickle cell is the classic example. But it is quite possibly true that Tay-Sachs is also heterogeneous superior -- there is circumstantial evidence that it has been positively selected for.

If people feel it is necessary to make the smartest children possible, the grandchildren will risk immense unnecessary suffering, unless they are brought into this world under the loving care of a genetic counselor.
If people in disadvantaged racial or ethnic groups can choose to have their children born with the same skin color (or whatever physical signifier people use) as children of the privileged race just by checking a box on a form, many will do so to allow their children to avoid the prejudices that they would otherwise struggle against.

But while their decision is rational for them individually, it perpetuates racism in the culture by reaffirming that the skin color of the privileged is the "right" skin color, which reduces the pressure on the society to examine its prejudices. Children of those parents with the wrong skin color who can't afford the treatment will still be discriminated against, but there will be fewer of them then there would otherwise be, so they'd be even more isolated and unable to effect change.

If this cycle continues to a point where the cost of the treatment becomes zero, eventually everybody chooses to give their children the privileged skin color, and the disadvantaged group effectively disappears. Is that genocide? I dunno. But it's definitely something.

These dilemmas have been common to disadvantaged groups throughout history -- see the struggles light-skinned black people in America have had with the morality of "passing" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passing_%28racial_identity%29), or the tensions that can emerge in Jewish families when a child marries a Gentile. Genetic modification would just make the process of choosing to "opt out" of your own race easier, which would tempt more people to try it.

CAM machining advancements were mostly pushed forward by car companies and government spending, right? Almost all of the computing technology we use today began as a .gov or .mil project, or came from some private lab with funding from the .gov or .mil.

I think that that rather neatly undermines your point.

It wasn't the VCs spending lots of money. The big desktop revolution (outside of Apple) was initially driven by IBM, Commodore, Tandy, and Atari...all relatively established businesses partnering with younger firms for software or whatnot.

Sure, we had Sun Microsystems and Silicon Graphics, but at the end of the day it seems like they're all gone and blown away while the more lasting impacts remain attributed to academia (.edu and .gov again), defense (.mil), or consumer software not really driven by venture capital.

Maybe you can look at in hexadecimal. Let's see. The proof for sum-of-numbers = divisibility by 3 goes as follows.

1 % 3 = 1
10 % 3 = 1
100 % 3 = 1
...

since things congruent modulo 3 are either both divisable by 3 or neither we can do this (because 10 and 3 are relatively prime):

(a * 1000 + b * 100 + c * 10 + d) % 3 = (a + b + c + d) % 3

Hmmm 16 and 3 are relatively prime as well, and:

16 % 3 = 1
256 % 3 = 1
4096 % 3 = 1
...

Ergo the sum of hexadecimal digits follows the same rule in hexadecimal ! Hurray !

So :

def divby3(x):
s = 0
while x != 0:
s += x & 15
x = x >> 4
if s >= 16:
return divby3(s)
return s in [0,3,6,9,12,15]

Also, 5 works "like 3" in hexadecimal:

def divby5(x):
s = 0
while x != 0:
s += x & 15
x = x >> 4
if s >= 16:
return divby5(s)
return s in [0,5,0xa,0xf]
Race is far more than cosmetic; but lets address that part.

If many parents choose to blunt the racial characteristics (not just skin color but eyes/lids, nose width, lips, limb length, jaw, teeth) it will serve to make any 'normal' child with those characteristics a real standout. Racial characteristics become almost proof of genetic inferiority. There's no problem with that?
Are they "massively profitable" though? I haven't really heard anything regarding their financials. They're well funded, but that doesn't really mean anything these days.

There's certainly a need, don't get me wrong. It's just that for most people (paid) dropbox is the wrong solution. And at some point the right solution will present itself and suddenly dropbox will see its market disappear.

I think your Amazon point is rather inaccurate. With amazon people are ordering different products at fixed prices from one seller. In this case, the question is how do we actually determine the price for one product(say Google's stock) given many buyers and many sellers all with different price points. It's not the same thing at all.

Someone/some algorithm has to match offers for sale with offers for purchases. Buyers are willing to buy at up to some price and seller sell at down to some prince. The question is when the matching is done, how frequently and whether you gain any advantage by being faster (other than having marginally more time to analysis). By contention is that you can accomplish this.

While this may not work for, I don't think amazon or anything like that has much to do with it.
Tcsh does just that by default (at least on FreeBSD).
Get most StackOverflow rep by avoiding difficult questions
I really shouldn't be surprised...programmers are lazy, they say.

If you look at my top-voted answers, they all seem like things where someone either doesn't understand a basic concept, doesn't read available documentation, or hits an error message and drops it directly into Google without considering the issue on their own. It's an interesting phenomenon, and I wonder if it's a observation for other users. I have really simple questions that still get me 1-2 upvotes a month for years after the answer was provided.

If the answer also happens to be for a popular language/framework/n00b problem, then all the better.

Ex: http://stackoverflow.com/users/249543/jefflunt

If this is common, then it would seem a reasonable strategy to just look for easy questions and answer them quickly - if the only reason you're on SO is to play the reputation game, that is.

This supports my general view that, if you want a decent chance at running a business that will have a large client base, simply take a problem that is very common, but not very difficult (maybe trivial) to solve for an experienced person, and sell an automated solution to the masses.

> Sigh, if this guy had an actual 3D printer he would realize those doors and windows are a no-go :-)

If you notice guy obviously competent and expeirienced in the field presenting something stupid it's more likely than not that you are missing piece of knowlege that is required for understaning why it actually isn't stupid.

Just watch the movie. It shows how to deal with doors and windows.
Just read the info on the "Why Blu" page as the photos look intriguing, but as soon as the page mentioned "pre-fab", it became a non-start for me in the SoCal market.

The problem is that pre-fabricated or pre-manufactured homes are a very specific category of homes and require specific disclosures when selling and financing. It's basically a derogatory term used to describe cheaply built structures that are a step above mobile homes.

Home being one of the most valuable assets a typical family holds. In SoCal and many other places, land makes up the bulk of the value. Place a structure on that land that then detracts from the value doesn't seem very prudent. Not to mention difficult to finance, as banks do not look favorably on that class of building.

So, unfortunately, innovation has to deal with current market and regulatory frameworks. 3D printing as proposed (though my not be valuable), would probably fall under the "custom house" label, which is the most valuable classification. Even if it's just a tract home, it's still a lot better than being considered pre-fab/pre-manufactured.
I actually like using comprehensions in Scala so I don't find it annoying at all. Also I think having a clear distinction between the "normal" and "injected" functions is a good thing.

I do find having to add implicit parameters to every function slightly annoying, especially because when I forget, it's not always clear from the compiler error what I did wrong.
My two cents: there are companies providing social media CRM services that provide real time
1. market sentiment on their customers opinions
2. alert when complaining tweets require client service to follow up.
The monitored tweet volume is very small as the key words are mostly limited to company names or key products. Especially most complain directly @company handle.
Most of this can be done manually, to take my previous CPG client as an example, people from each merchandise group manually check the amazon review on the product skew they run and work with customer service together to follow up on bad reviews. They try really hard to collect online feedback to understand what people like and not like about the products.
Access to health care gets conflated with some universal or Obamacare-type system, though.

Case in point: my grandparents are on medicare. They pay basically nothing for it. One of them just had bypass surgery and the other a knee replacement. Cost to them: $0.

We pretty much have universal access healthcare in the US before the Obamacare stuff if you go through the system.
You can actually use this technique in your functional programs too if speed is important to you.

As Lessig notes, they're engaging actively in censorship. That's certainly their right, but it's not the same thing as not participating.
That's the same thing I've run into. It's a never ending cycle of trying an app (I love Omnifocus, it's just too much to deal with at times), reverting to something simpler (stickies app), yearning for some extra piece of functionality that doesn't exist (gee it would be nice if...), and then repeating the whole cycle over again.

Why irons though?

i remember a classic demo at one conference where they used a PSU. It had some advantages: 99% certain it will be used near a computer. USB and Ethernet ports for "power surge protection" that can add attack vectors.

the only reason i can think of for irons is either lack of other opportunities, or trying to be as inconspicuous as possible (tech savy people are more prone to opening a PSU than an iron)
Am I the only one that thinks this should absolutely be put up in some open-source version-control-based way? If it's public, it's public.

Should I really have to have a research project or composed purpose to view "open" things?

Self undermining, that is.
