And what do you do when you have finished your PhD? Only a very small fraction of the people with PhD have a chance to get a permanent position in academia, and end up looking for jobs in the industry and realizes that they are both missing some skills and are overqualified for most jobs.
Even Google blurs out things from street view... all of which is in public view.

Our difference here is that as far as I can tell, your viewpoint is a bit of a fatalistic one - 'this is something you have to adapt to'. I am saying that this is not true. Just because something is possible does not make it right, and we don't have to abdicate our sense of what is right simply because technology has progressed and made more things possible.
I agree 100%; quoting myself from a previous comment on a different post:

Bitcoin is revolutionary. THAT is most likely true. Is it doomed to fail? Perhaps it is, but things are not quite as grim.

Here is what is likely to happen as a result of bitcoin: 1. The future of banking transaction fees is bleak - The current financial systems will get threatened and adapt. Here bitcoin will succeed. 2. Bitcoin is used as proof of concept and paves the way for a world currency, think euro but global.

The two points above are definitely wins. If you have any problems with those playing out, its likely you have the same concerns about bitcoin and just haven't realized it yet.

Here is what would likely happen to bitcoin v1, it will fail to become a real currency.

Its currently morphing into a speculative store of value. I'd like to say its like tulips, but I'd be wrong, as it is definitely more useful than tulips. On the speculation front it may play out like the tulip mania/bubble, but I hope I'm wrong about that.

The reason for it to fail as a currency is the very reason for the spike in interest at the moment. Exchange rates seem to be soaring and may continue to soar which would make people vary of buying some thing worth $1000 USD for 1btc if there is a possibility that deferring a purchase by a couple of days could offer a notion discount of x% from the hope of the value of btc increasing. If you could wait a few days for the purchase and buy the $1000 item for 0.8btc, who wouldn't wait?

On the flip-side, if you bought 1btc for $1000 to buy something but the value of btc suffered a temporary squeeze to the effect that 1btc = $800, hence the same item now costs you 1.25btc or 25% premium to what you were willing to pay. Hence who would be willing to pay extra if you were sure the value of btc would rise?

This applies to all commercial transactions. In 90%+ of cases people will likely defer spending btc unless the value was at the same level +/- 5% as their purchase price.

Bitcoin as a currency/for commerce will leave every consumer in a constant state of buyers remorse and THAT will be the real reason for its failure.
First, slavery exists today and second, even if it didn't, the word would still be useful when talking about history or when talking figuratively.
Some people report that they can get in a state of flow while pair programming. I've experienced this on occasion but I'm unclear on what the exact ingredients are to produce flow while pairing. A big bonus with pairing, however, is automatic and real time code review, architecture review and perhaps even product review. Two people together are a lot less likely to run into the wrong direction _together_ than a single coder.
Bitcoin is the biggest prank of my lifetime. Hats off to Satoshi for figuring out the most remarkable get-rich-quick scheme in the history of the world.

Make no mistake, it will one day go down in flames, and 10 years from now people will write stories about bitcoin the same way they do today about how insane Iceland's banking system got, or Pets.com being worth $20 billion or whatever.
Why Cryptographic Currencies Matter
Flow, under the name of flow, was applied to software development in the 1980s in the book Peopleware.

It may go farther back than that. But that's as far as I know about off of the top of my head.
> This is why IT people have a bad reputation in the world of socially adjusted adults.

Come on! You run around saying things like this about large groups of people. How is that better than using master/slave about machines?

Hint: It's much, much worse.

There is no consensus among libertarians about BTC. The mistake that Gary North makes here is in assuming there is one. He is entitled to voice his opinions, and he does come across as being prescriptivist. However, as long as he does not contribute to creating laws and regulations against BTC, I'm quite comfortable with anything he has to say about the matter.

what do you think of the value proposition?
That's astonishing. Caught in a lie, he first denies it, then backpedals and immediately blames someone else who is clearly not at fault. My already-low opinion of him is now even lower.
Perhaps a better way to say this would be: The more money on each side of the market, the less volatility, since it will take a much larger amount of money to move the market.

For comparison, the foreign exchange markets do trillions of dollars every day in volume. The daily volume of Bitcoin trading is around $100 million at times.
Reductio ad Hitlerum
Flow is not a buzzword. The concept of flow was introduced by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi in his book Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience. It is a known concept in psychology.

It is achieved when skill level is high and challenge level is high.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_%28psychology%29

Flow is the mental state of operation in which a person performing an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity. In essence, flow is characterized by complete absorption in what one does. Proposed by Mihály Csíkszentmihályi, this positive psychology concept has been widely referenced across a variety of fields.

Flow theory postulates three conditions that have to be met to achieve a flow state:

One must be involved in an activity with a clear set of goals and progress. This adds direction and structure to the task.[11]
The task at hand must have clear and immediate feedback. This helps the person negotiate any changing demands and allows him or her to adjust his or her performance to maintain the flow state.[11]
One must have a good balance between the perceived challenges of the task at hand and his or her own perceived skills. One must have confidence that he or she is capable to do the task at hand.[11]

However, it was argued that the antecedent factors of flow are interrelated, as a perceived balance between challenges and skills requires that one knows what he or she has to do (clear goals) and how successful he or she is in doing it (immediate feedback). Thus, a perceived fit of skills and task demands can be identified as the central precondition of flow experiences.[12]
As far as I understood from Twitter, the commit wasn't originally signed off.

@piscisaureus signed it afterwards and forced pushed it: https://twitter.com/piscisaureus/status/407022200290410496
I would start digging a few meters outside of those doors. If you use ground radar or the like, it should not be too hard to find such a tunnel even 20 or 50 meters from the bunker.
What matters is not only that there's a limited supply of Bitcoins, but that BTC has a network effect behind it. Almost nobody is accepting LTC, and literally nobody is accepting other currencies.

Not to mention the safety - it's easier to pull a 51% attack on the other currencies (see the attack performed on Feathercoin)
You're absolutely right. I'll get rid of that next time the page goes down.

And Thanks!

The argument is right. But consider rebates as support or venture fund by Govt. It promote sales - sales promote more production - more production promotes more private investment and better ideas.

The cycle has started and showing good signs.

I believe, if the same support is replicated across the world, it is very much possible we may witness electric automobiles a very viable alternative within next 10 years.

Beyond hearing your own heartbeat after a while, an ultimate psycho-acoustic experiment: hearing air molecules hit your eardrums.

Taken from Master Handbook of Acoustics 5th edition (page 39-40):
The human ear cannot detect sounds softer than the motion of air particles on the eardrum. This is the threshold of hearing. There would be no reason to have ears more sensitive, because any lower-level sound would be drowned by the air-particle noise.
This means that the ultimate sensitivity of our hearing just matches the softest sounds possible in an air medium.
It is not a payment system - effectively no one accepts it as payment. And no one spends bitcoins anyway. There is no medium of exchange here any more than there is for Bedheadcoin.

It's not a ponzi scheme, just an amusing bubble.
Big committees sure can produce lots of words.

It is good and proper to do the good and proper thing under the circumstances of the situation in which you are presented with the opportunity to do good and proper things.

I do have some sympathy for the problem here -- it's impossible to be actionable and specific in a document like this. This document could be the springboard for other more relevant work. Maybe this needs to exist as a first step. Maybe it requires 25 people to produce. Maybe my ACM dues (and IEEE dues!) are adding value. Maybe.

We believe our technology will fundamentally change how we approach computing.

Yourself: Generalist who can become a specialist given time. Self starter and mostly importantly a finisher - pick something up and deliver without supervision. You will be a manager with a team size of one - you. You will need to pick the next problem on the way to achieve our goals and solve it. You could be working on our custom OS twiddling GPIOs or you could be writing Scala on the backend or polishing off our iOS app. You will need to hold a lot of complexity in your head and have solid CS fundamentals.

Google may not have all the questions to your answers, github may not have any such sample code and Stack Overflow may have a vaguely related question with no replies.

Team: ex-(Apple, Facebook, Google, Jawbone, Lab126, NASA, Samsung). Approximately 1/3rd of the team are PhDs (or PhDs on “pause”) in various fields (Math, Physics, CS etc).

Nobody debates that. In fact, the alternatives are worth mostly jack and very few will take off.

It's really not a technical question. Bitcoin came first, it has the traction.

Getting traction into another chain is possible, but much more difficult than with Bitcoin. (Which only involved creating the first of a new, disruptive technology).

Simply said, why would I want to buy any of the alternate coins? As long as you can't give me a satisfying answer to that, your argument is moot.

Are you sure it will reduce the pollution (genuine question)?

I live in NYC. I was thinking specifically of the air quality in NYC which its almost sure to improve, rather than total pollution.

However, I think it will improve total pollution as well. I'm fairly certain that natural gas fired combined cycle generation (which is most of the new generation being added) is both more efficient and lower polluting than the internal combustion engine, so total pollution should decrease.
"Look, I can create a commit with someone elses e-mail address, and GitHub will think it was actually theirs!"

Of course, the question is: is there any way to prevent this in a simple way? Given anyone can push the final commit, you would need some sort of commit signing, but that sounds more pain than it's really worth.
I think it's funny that everybody's defending the people whose conversations were being tweeted, even though that group includes people who abuse flight attendants for no good reason and people who shout their breakups from the rooftop for everybody to hear, but simply stating that maybe such behavior doesn't deserve respect gets this awesome passive-aggressive "I'm quite glad I don't know you socially" business.

To be clear, I'm quite nice to people who deserve it, and to people who haven't shown anything either way (i.e. I am nice to strangers whose personalities I simply do not know). All I'm saying is that I feel no need to accommodate jerks. It's strange that society has conditioned us so strongly that such an obvious statement is seen as shocking.

I generally don't care if you're talking at the next table over and I can hear what you say, although I'm happy to be entertained by it if it's amusing. However, I think it's idiotic to be at that next table over and then be shocked, shocked that the information you're broadcasting is actually being received by other people.
I agree with most of your post, but also keep in mind that PhDs are a bit different in Europe than they are in the US. Competition is much higher in the US, and the points raised in the article apply to the US definitely more than they do to Europe.

Audio / Podcasting startup seeking tech cofounders
Do you like Umano, Agogo, Audible and Swell?

Want to build a business that makes money and helps people, and changes the way people listen to news on the go?

Here's the idea:

Record audio versions of popular blogs

Hire voice actors to read articles from techcrunch.

Provide techcrunch with an audio player and the voice content, have them place the player on their site.

Repeat across the web.

Sell audio advertising.

Build and scale a profitable business.

What you'd be doing:

You'd be working on customizing an existing open source audio player (see http://www.jquery4u.com/plugins/10-jquery-html5-players/ for examples)
to collect stats on plays, and have a custom look and feel, and also to
create an audio archive where we can add content to the player.

Interested?

Let's meet for coffee, I'm in San Mateo but happy to meet wherever.

Best,

Russell

You are missing my point that in languages with explicit grammatical gender of nouns, it is not true that \forall grammatical gender==implied sex, e.g. in Polish if you wrote zegarmistrz (watchmaker, masculin) you would use masculin suffixes for adj/v and you would not imply the sex since there is no feminin counterpart (even if you really tried). In your case, решил probably (I don't speak Russian) inherits the gender from пользователь.

My broader point is that in many languages, which Slavic ones are a subgroup of (but in German as well), there exists a construct that is used when you do not want to imply sex. In English they struggle with the one/he/she/they. And, BTW, in my experience she is more popular than he (e.g. in financial literature bankers are all 'she' even though female bankers are as common as female coders most likely).
