No, I really don't. Like I said, he can have whatever opinion he likes, but once he starts advocating that laws should reflect his opinion, it's stepped over a line. The relevant logical fallacy that you and others using this argument, by the way, is the tu quoque fallacy:

I think part of the problem is Wolfram named it poorly.

I'm excited because with my NLP stuff it can be "Mashups built with your voice" or "Mashups your Grandma can build"
It's probably cancerous on 4chan because it's plainly obvious you're profiteering rather than trying to build a community. After the cheezburger/meme monetization age, I'd expect everyone on that site to be extremely wary of anyone trying to make money off of them.

>4chan is good at some simple things but doesn't serve specific niches in a thorough and interesting way.

Have you been to 4chan? Are the papercraft/origami and "general" thread boards not good enough for you? Not to mention awhile ago poole did a post about how thoughtlessly adding boards dilutes the community and just ends up causing mayhem.
> But my hunch is that

This is not a hunch right? There's so much evidence supporting this. Off the cuff, I can recall the following the studies. In the US, SAT scores correlate with parental wealth; in India, IIT JEE qualification success correlates with parental wealth; there was this story about 'crack babies' here a few mon
ths ago which also cited a long term study showing that kids born in poverty are less likely to complete high-school, college etc.

I'd be interested in studies showing the opposite.
You mean there is no ecology or atmosphere on the moon. The environment is whatever there is around. On the moon it will be a terrain of grey and white matter that reflects a lot of light when there is a full moon to the point that you can see around you here on earth. This is what I'm pondering since moon cycles affect nocturnal creatures here on earth. I'm not worried about plants and animals becoming extinct on the moon because there aren't any.

Btw, there is an atmosphere on Mars but I believe it is only CO2 and very thin. Mars missions have recorded Martian winds blowing sand on the tiny rover.
A poor person becomes rich only through the exercise of their own expertise.

A rich person can draw on the professional expertise of others in order to stay rich if they are not particularly clever.

This is a huge reason why the rich stay rich.

I was a member of both forums. I watched the whole thing go down and participated in the discussion, including a short correspondence with Steve.

The GP is correct in his characterization, as was Steve in his post. Steve had been mulling over the 'forum problem' for some time, not really sure what to do with it. The discovery of the alternate forum was what finally tipped his hand. There was a sense of betrayal and it pervaded his posts and his actions in the last few days before he killed it.

The other forum itself was, as the GP put it, a very private, invite-only community. It remains so to this day. They started it because of a disagreement in how the board was being moderated. Many long-time Pavlina posters were disappointed when very personal posts became fodder for vitriol and they perceived that nothing was being done. After about a year of this, they voted with their feet and went to the new place.

I witnessed a very curious dynamic in the last few days. The members Steve was complaining about with the "sense of entitlement" and the members who'd started the new forum were exactly the same. There were lots of hurt feelings flying around and a lot of things were said that would have been better left unsaid. Steve wielded his ban-hammer with little concern, perhaps because he'd already decided to shut it all down.

I detected a bit of unacknowledged self-serving-ness in Steve's blog post concerning the shutdown. Everybody was cool with Steve's benevolent dictatorship, but after awhile he'd just moved on, not posting much if at all. I guess he thought that the king could leave the castle for years and the subjects would just welcome him back with open arms when he finally steps back in and hands out royal decrees. His blog post swept a lot of stuff under the rug, that, honestly, probably should have been, but he didn't take responsibility for any of the bad stuff and just pawned it off on the new forum.

The situation definitely needed to be rectified, but his handling left a lot to be desired.
Ok. Would you email me (sillysaurus2 at gmail) so that I can have you beta test it? It's pretty straightforward, but I'd feel better if you look at it before I publicly launch it.

I beg to differ. You can for instance return plain html and process it from a separate js file.

FB makes money when they receive data created when people interact. Anything that limits this interaction, will eventually disappear. Take this reasoning to the limit, and everything will be made public.
Although your point about earth isn't completely true (night lights are very visible from space and we don't have photos from before space missions), the thing that concerns me is whether mining Helium 3 from the moon will affect the terrain's reflectivity. Helium 3 will simply be scooped off of the surface and while only small amounts of it are needed I don't exactly know how little will the impact on the moon be. Remember that the moon is many times smaller than earth so the comparison is apples and oranges.
I don't see how this ends up challenging Google. It might win the nerds away but I think you'll find the top 85% of queries by volume are already handled well enough - and more importantly, the top 95% of queries by monetization/profit are already handed correctly.

Your example search is neat but the CPC on it will not be great. Wolfram could totally turn into a Thing, and a profitable one, just not on the same order of magnitude.
"wee" is subjective...

I have existing templates that exist server side. I don't want to recreate them client side. Rails JS responses to the rescue.. It's quite elegant and works well with the existing Rails workflow.
I was pretty sure that if its comming from a different domain that this is not the case.

For example:

If we have legitsite.com/json-only-with-sensitive-data.js and we load that by adding a script tag to attackersite.com then attackersite.com cannot get the contents of what the legit site returned.

The problem is when you either have JSONP (for which the attacker site could add a callback in the request to execute) or if you return js code that is supposed to run like in this blog post where RoR returns code like this:

$('#someid').html('sensitive data');
...

In this case it's just as bad as having JSONP because the attacker site can create a <div id='someid'></div> then add the script tag then onLoad of the script tag inspect the contents of the div.

I don't think running a garbage collected languages on asm.js will ever make any sense (since it would mean implementing and shipping your own GC as part of the application source). So, yeah, you're right. Scala (as-is) is not a good language to target any of the "native" targets like asm.js.

I wouldn't take it personally. Many companies seem to never be forthcoming with their reasons for doing the things they do.

I know this won't pay your bills right now, but in a way you can be glad to not be working at the company that didn't hire you. If they're the kind of company that makes people jump through a bunch of hoops, gives them positive feedback every step of the way and then doesn't hire them then it's likely not a place you want to work. The tougher situation is when you do go to work at a company like that, and they just arbitrarily hire you and not someone else, and then over the next couple years you have to experience how fucked up their decision make process is.

My last company fired one of the other developers shortly after I left; they gave him no advanced warning, no indication that they weren't happy with what he was doing, and no honest reason for why they were firing him. They fired a girl from marketing apparently for just being intelligent. They fired another guy from marketing because a few years after they hired him for a marketing job they decided he should suddenly be a coder.

You got a small peek into the decision making process at this company you interviewed for. For whatever reason they didn't think you'd be a good fit, and you should now be certain that they weren't a good fit for you either. Sounds like you're a smart guy/girl and you'll rock an interview at a place that will actually appreciate you and what you can offer them.
You do always have to worry when "those guys" are a running a business this size... don't ya think?

Seems like that'd be hard to do effectively, since the whole point of scrypt is to put more of the burden on memory. It precomputes a lot of data that it reuses, and it's faster to retrieve from ram than to recompute it, even with specialized hardware.

A 40 minute TV show (scripted, non-reality) easily costs $1-3M to make.

I tried to produce some online learning videos recently. Doing it myself took 10 hours of post-production work to create 1 minute of final content. After making 10 minutes of content (which took over a month), I had to stop for my own sanity. [Actually, this post reminded me to finally upload them. They're currently uploading to http://www.youtube.com/user/learndofun if you're curious.]

For some educational material (especially intro content), you want well produced, easy to follow material. The higher up you go, you can just throw a camera in a room and people will be happy with things like http://videolectures.net.
@cheeaun promised me on twitter that the rate limit is per-IP, and I've since implemented fallback servers (same as hackerweb) so this shouldn't be an issue any more. Plus setting up a local instance would make things unnecessarily complicated (nodejs and all that)
It's worse than that: MOOCs don't increase employability even to
someone who has the "means, the background, and most importantly the drive to learn."

It's like reading a book: No one else give a shit.

I would add that for most jobs knowing more than the basics from a course, and often not even that, isn't useful.

> Randomizing children at hospitals would likely have big negative impact on society.

I disagree, and I think the opposite could even be true. We are hard wired to protect our biological offspring; if we know that our offspring will be placed randomly into society, we would have greater reason to concern ourselves with the well-being of society in general.

(All successful modern societies have communistic and capitalistic components in simultaneous operation. Capitalism provides the incentive for productivity and communism ensures that incentives can be acted upon by as many people as possible. The most successful societies are arguably ones that balance these aspects well.)
When you learn for the sake of learning, rather than certification, there's little point in crossing all the t's and dotting all the i's, in entirely finishing a course. You take what you need from it, and move on. Lifelong learning precisely means that you mix education in more closely with the application of the information you have learnt. When I use these resources, I jump around from course to course because I am actively engaged in my education, trying to get exactly what I need to move on to the next step.

If MOOCs want people to follow the material point to point, from start to end, they will need to provide a level of certification which gives people a meaningful incentive to do so.

I backed the KickStarter near the beginning of this campaign to get access to alpha version of the book so I could review it for a few "new to web programming" friends of mine.

Damn you, NSA, you gave Canada some ideas!
he's talking about in the middle of a project. Not some giant legacy software system written in cobol running on a 30 year old mainframe where all original developers are dead and no original source code or documentation exists.
Can you show an example how? Not 100% sure, but I believe all major browsers will block the direct access to the content of an external JS file from a different domain? You get just an empty string if accessing it from the DOM (at least in chrome)
That might be a valid (albeit ironically immature) response, except that the license is self-evidently satirical.
Have you heard of the NSA? I think it's pretty safe to say at this point that NOTHING online is private.
Perhaps public-minded funding would be better spent on ways to make the production of educational material more accessible and efficient.

Well, this is technically very difficult. I don't see how it is a new "paradigm" though. It's just a next step in the same direction technology has been heading, no?
I'm not sure what your expected result for this is: that they'll ace it, or do just as badly.
Based on a single 1-in-a billion anecdote, yes. It certainly does seem that way.
That's because it is a novelty. You're pretty much restricted to planar circuits with this approach and the resistance is pretty bad.
Clojure has other advantages which other lisps and go don't have such as immutable values and a prevalence of expressions (as opposed to statements), both of which give core.async certain features that go's implementation lacks.
From reading over the press release it looks like they intend to build an ASIC that is only as powerful as a high end GPU but instead of needing the full $350 video card you will only need the $25 ASIC. Then you put 14 ASICs on a single board and get 14X the power at the same cost. Though I'm sure the company will charge 10X the price of the video card. Ideally there is some real power savings in the ASIC.
We do not advertise on 4chan and do not engage the 4chan community in any way. Yet 4channers constitute a large part of our community for some reason.

I think I worded my pitch incorrectly but the "cancerous" part is not our site, but the activity itself. Our site is the cure to the cancer.

Just going off of the previous airbnb example, if 4chan had a travel board where people are spamming their rentals that activity might be considered cancerous. If 4chan told people to go to a site where they're invested in that would both solve the problem and be a win win for both communities.

>Have you been to 4chan? Are the papercraft/origami and "general" thread boards not good enough for you? Not to mention awhile ago poole did a post about how thoughtlessly adding boards dilutes the community and just ends up causing mayhem.

There are people attempting to do things on 4chan which are as complicated as the previous example of rentals. It is obvious that airbnb is a much superior rental platform than 4chan. The activity I'm referring to is much like rentals, a cancerous annoyance on a discussion site, but important and useful economic activity. 4chan should seek to join us and help it get rid of the cancer.

I'm lead to believe the bond that a mother has for the child that grew inside her for 9 months is something a man can never truly understand. I just asked my wife what she'd do if she found out our 3yr-old daughter wasn't biologically ours. She said she'd keep this child AND fight to get our biological one as well. I said, as painful as it'd be, I'd prefer to give up our current child and get our biological one....

The license author goes into the reason for the license and his thoughts on RMS in a comment on that blog post:

> It’s not about hating free software. I’m a believer in that; I released my first game for free in 1982. Note that the github thing I put up is essentially totally free (something I would have been restricted from doing, by my employer, up to a year ago).

> I have a personal dislike for RMS and I think that his philosophy of economy is at best naïve and dangerously unworkable. 25 years ago he was exhorting me to quit my job in protest to support some of his politics and he wasn’t pleasant about it. Thus, ABRMS.

> If RMS really wants a miserable little 6502 assembler I can always amend the license. I’m not unreasonable. But he has to ask. :-)
The license linked to is located in repository for an assembler... so, clearly there is atleast one, and perhaps only one.
That is actually a reasonable difference. However, how much could mining minerals from the moon really make a difference to its mass such that tides would be dangerously affected? If your point has merit, surely you need to suggest some of these issues?

1. I realized yesterday that when I reach for my smartphone it is often a brain-signal that I am lonely and I want to talk to someone. Web surfing or checking email is a poor surrogate for an actual human.

2. Thanks for the brave post.

3. (My guess) All humans are lonely. And afraid. We all cope differently with this reality. Some of us drown this out in one way or another, but all of us eventually acknowledge it. Moments of clarity occur, but are often quickly swept aside. These moments are too painful.

4. (My guess) The way out is through. My M. O. has been to walk through the fog of fear. Maybe that will work for you -- when your brain throws up little fear bombs treat them as gates you must walk through to get to where you want to go. Thank your brain for showing you the way.

5. Again, sincere thanks for the honesty and brave statement of reality. Today you were human.
