I don't think this article attempts to provide solutions, only to 'add framing' to the problem.

Absolutely! This is actually very in line with Marx's thinking.

After reading your last paragraph, I think your issue is that you want more than the article is attempting to give. I agree, we absolutely need these kinds of answers. I just don't think that it was ever intended to be presented here.

Is it possible that these students might have other types of intelligence?

I've got friends who are very strong visually and they thrive in visual environments such as MaxMSP and Quartz Composer. They make amazing interactive art pieces. Yet, they seem completely baffled by general purpose programming and symbolic logic. The thing is, you can talk to them and they can absolutely reason about things. They're not incapable of logic, rather a certain expression of logic.

What worries me is that we've created a negative feedback loop. The tools we've created for computing are heavily dependent on symbolic logic. This attracts people who are gifted with symbolic logic. They in turn create more tools that work best for people excel at symbolic logic. And so on and so forth.

I don't think this is an issue with people being incapable of creating mental models. A gymnast has an amazing mental model of their body and it's relation to space and the things in that space. However, we have yet to create computing tools for interactive design that build on top of that mental model. Why is that? Because we engineers have some of the WORST mental models of how our bodies flow through space.

I think this is all mainly an issue with listening, understanding and compassion, traits that seem to be stunted in the software industry. Engineers seem to have a certain predilection to talk over people. We seem to always be waiting for the other person to stop talking.

And I'll take the poetic license one step further and say that our entire industry is incapable of listening. It is always "hey, lets set up coding camps"! What about, "hey, let's set up a symposium where us engineers listen to other people about how they live their lives and what they think!"?

Yeah, I understood the argument but unless RMS claimed never to have benefited directly or indirectly from his activities, I'm not sure why it's worth pointing out. In other words it's only a contradiction if he claimed premise 1 is true. Otherwise it's just a misunderstanding of FOSS.

In any case that's definitely not the main point of the article - just an example of sloppy reasoning that struck me on reading it, which doesn't necessarily invalidate the whole.
Man, there's really going to be a big industry in what essentially ends up being programming camps for rich kids. As the value of college declines, SAT prep programs and otherwise may suffer--only to be replaced with "learn to get hired as a programmer" programs. Private schools will compete based on the technical and/or startup chops of their faculty. And hey, I guess this isn't a bad thing? More people should learn to program, rich kids or not.
I kind of don't want them to have my code anymore. Since they didn't even consider it for the competition, I feel like they don't have fair use to have it on their servers.
> There is nothing whatsoever preventing a person of any sort from creating a code portfolio

You're wrong. Here are some likely hypotheticals:

* I'm lower middle class with four kids and don't own a computer that isn't owned by work. They own all the code I write on that machine and I'd be fired if they found out I was using it recreationally.

* My security clearance prevents me from publicly contributing for fear of getting swept in a security audit and losing my job.

* I've been harassed in the past by dogged pursuers who have doxed me and SWATed me. Publishing anything under my name is a no-go. If I don't use my real name, how do I participate on mailing lists and collaborate with other users?

So, yeah, I choose not to contribute and I own those choices. But pretending like there's "nothing whatsoever preventing a person" from open source contribution is, like I said, willfully wrongheaded.

That's the point of this article and Ashe Dryden's and the others linked before: there is demographic information associated with open source work in that a particular demographic overwhelmingly is able to contribute vs. others. They're not making idle suppositions; they're backing this stuff up.

High-Value Shell Aliasing
"What about old old money? I'm talking about people that have money because their ancestors were royalty of some sort."

They would fall under the rubric of what the parent comment said about "rose to political power." The old nobility got that way because they supported the king in military campaigns in exchange for titles, land, and protected agricultural or mercantile monopolies and warrants. (Incidentally, the origin of the word "entitled" dates back to the titling of the nobility by royal authority. A title is, in essence, the exclusive right to something. In many cases, that right was to specific regions or lands. When we say that someone is "entitled to" something, or "has a sense of entitlement," we are figuratively harkening back to an age when an "entitlement" was something very literal.)

For what it's worth, the fluidity of the nobility is vastly underreported in popular conception. Noble families rose, fell, were made, were broken, etc., about as often as in Game of Thrones. Today's "old old money" descends from the old old noble houses who, by some combination of luck and savvy, ended up on the right side of countless civil wars, uprisings, wars of succession, and dynastic transitions.

Did these families "earn" their fortunes? I'd say no more and no less than any of today's political elites. We're kidding ourselves if we believe the political patronage system in the US is all that different from the political patronage system of the Tudor dynasty, or that of Louis XIV. The mechanics of government are different; the rules of the "Game" are entirely unchanged. (Replace "King" with "Presidential Administration.")

And my experience doesn't jive with your list. And they were not jabs [seems like you edited out that part of your response], just replies to each point. Nor did I accuse you of making it up - read again what I said. Just that simply because you have that experience doesn't mean it's like that for everyone.

I have lots of CFLs in my house and none flicker, and they all seem white to me.

I also find LEDs to have a speckle pattern sort of like a laser. I find them very unpleasant and harsh.

Well, I think the article is explicitly going in the wrong direction, criticizing the basic idea of FOSS for causing these problems. The article seems to claim that because FOSS relies on labor that is unpaid upfront but rewarded by social capital, that it is inherently going to produce worse outcomes for less privileged groups. And I don't buy that.

So it's not just that I want more than the article gives (though I want that too; I would prefer that more potential solutions were presented), I'm also uncomfortable with the way it's framing the debate, indicating that this is an inherent failure in the FOSS model as opposed to a bug that should be fixed.
The Physical Review Letters abstract[1] (kindly included as a link in the recycled press release[2] kindly submitted here) may lead to more information about this preliminary finding.

Research lab press releases are a known part of the Science News Cycle[3] and are at best just a teaser to get actual working scientists to read the peer-reviewed journal publications to see how much those really say.

There is such a visceral reaction to PhysOrg as a press-release recycling service here on Hacker News that I will, not meaning to put down the kind person who submitted this link, post some previous Hacker News comments about PhysOrg as a source below the references for this comment. It will be interesting to see what comes of this preliminary research report.

Ok, I interpreted it wrongly. But I still don't agree. I've worked in academia and a NASA research center and never did I observe a respected scientist making such an observation. I know that's anecdotal evidence, but I don't know what else to fallback on.

I always thought that the old tired line of "X is the core science!" was a trap that only mathematicians, physicists, and ignorant grad students fell into. I wasn't aware that any respected (and respectful) scientists actually took it seriously.
"Institutional and systemic oppression within the F/OSS community" is definitely an attack. Oppression is unjust or cruel exercise of authority or power. It's not unjust to assign more value to more highly skilled labor however that skill was developed, just as it's not unjust to hang the Mona Lisa in the Louvre while excluding the work of young students who have not had the time and opportunity to become expert painters.

When starting an mvp, you are bleeding (usually) bootstrapped cash. In that scenario the priority is really to get the product out the door, and some stable revenue stream. Testing is often put the wayside just to survive.

In an ideal software development scenario where you have a budget, then yes, testing should be there in the beginning.

But if it is a start-up, I'm tempted to give slack for the lack of a framework. And it seems like if you come in, you might be the person to lead the testing framework which would be a good thing.

>Meanwhile, it will be interesting to see what the federal legal response will be to the various medical cannabis related startups i've seen popping up. In general, it looks like the road to legalization is pretty open (well, if stoners voted and orange county didn't...), but production and distribution still need to be addressed if you're really going to remove the criminal element (which you should).

>Anyone know anything about the current legal climate around cannabis in California? Specifically, increase/decrease in raids/legitimacy/rules of/around medical dispensaries and current situation wrt supplying them?

In 2006-2008, Obama said that he would not prosecute medical marijuana operations that were operating under state law.

However, over the last five years, the administration has been responsible for a number of raids (most famously Haborside and Oaksterdam). These raids were conducted on the grounds that the dispensaries were in violation of tax policies. However, this was an underhanded trick: the dispensaries had no legal way of complying with the policies in question - they were in a catch-22.

By doing it this way, they were able to continue raids, while still paying lip service to the letter of Obama's campaign promises, while completely disregarding the spirit of them.

The last time I saw a comparison was sometime in early 2012. At the time. Obama was rated as the least marijuana-friendly president since Clinton[0].

Suppliers (growers) are even more vilified than dispensaries. The further away you get from the patients, the easier it becomes to distract people from the actual patients who suffer and instead beat the "drugs are evil" drum.
