I've seen companies come in and present at Google IO about how awesome it was for them and players both when they added upload of game moments to YouTube. It was a huge word of mouth advertising win for them that users were sharing and promoting videos of playing their game. If anything this is a case of Google hurting games, probably due to some lawyer of theirs forcing them to.
Good luck with that. Depending on the condition they go $1500-2000+ on eBay these days.
Are you just not thinking through the road that will maybe lead to that outcome or what?

Before we live in this utopia that you are describing that will probably not happen, a lot of people will find themselves destitute and a lot of people will die from that and the ensuing revolution that will probably be required.

Also based on what has happened historically in the real world and in the past decade, it seems far more likely that we are moving towards a dystopia that will not be what you are imagining. However it will still require making a large portion of humanity destitute or on the dole living hand to mouth at the leisure of those who retain power/employment.
Yeah. Why cultivate social skills, when humans are being replaced by robots? I'd rather have programming skills.
Indeed. It is becoming less uncommon, especially in the UK where I work with a national policy to require research papers arising from tax payer funded work to be published using OA. Also, the Universities are really leading the way: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_access_mandate

UCL are exceptional in this regard and we work closely with the institution and many of it's students and alumni publishing their (OA) books and journal articles: http://www.ubiquitypress.com/ebooks and to download these books: http://www.doabooks.org/doab?func=publisher&pId=1194

OA shares many parallels with the rise of Free/Open Source software its uncanny.
Docker simplifies the setting up of a server so that it becomes a set of building blocks. And it does so regardless of which server management framework you use. This means that you can ditch the more complicated Puppet and Chef and go for a simpler solution like Ansible and still manage a large number of servers.

So it is really a different approach to the problem space that Puppet and Chef have attacked. Docker only addresses the building blocks aspect of the problem, and leverages Linux kernel features that most sysadmins have not yet tried to incorporate into their systems. You can either choose to not use a server orchestration framework with Docker and stick with ssh and bash scripts. Or you can choose a lighter framework that is easier to learn and operate like SaltStack or Ansible. Those of use who have run Solaris systems in the past, know the advantages of containerization in partitioning system resources so we tend to be attracted by Docker.
Scalable, Example-Based Refactorings with Refaster
Don't worry. I'm an American and by far the three worst experiences I've ever had with being searched happened in Europe (going into Russia, going into France and through Germany to Italy).

At worst the TSA has been annoying, but I've never had to say, dump the contents of all of my carry on onto the floor and talk the person through what each item was and why I needed it (France), or get questioned why I had brought a snack in my carry on (Germany), or detained while my instruments were looked through with mirrors for drugs (Russia).
Now imagine a dystopian future when all such diaries are available to a privileged subset of society. Imagine the power that subset would hold, and all the ways it would likely be abused.

Surely that power comes not from the honesty of the words in the diary, but from the fear that those words become widely known. Do most people have something to hide that is so shameful, so damning? In many cases is secrecy a luxury we might quickly be happy not to have? Is this current need for privacy because society is less accepting of us as people? Perhaps our obsession with privacy is the problem, not the solution.
it's a known mechanistic issue. the pyrrolobenzodiazepine molecules are pretty selective DNA alkylators. Cardiotox is caused probably by transport chain involvement when the 9-position is oxygenated (makes it look like Co-Q). Without that oxygen, the PBDs zip on over to the DNA. PBDs have a slight twist to the molecule which allows them to nestle in the minor groove with exactly the right pitch so that the lesion evades base excision repair response, which is what is thought to cause the more serious side effects in DNA-alkylating chemotherapies.

However, you are right, there could be unforseen toxicity issues.
Haha ok I'll stop here :)

#1 I just want to say that I own a good number of video games OST and that there are some rare gems, but frankly in my music collection the video game's part is a small, small minority. I think people here reacted strongly to my statement because when you think about good video game music, sure you can come with great examples (I love the OST for Castlevania Symphony of the Night, for example), but in the thousands of games I have played since my childhood, I can't seriously say, with a straight face, that there's more art in there than anywhere else. A good number of video games have been (and remain) sub-par in terms of production quality, and just like you don't have that many good stories/scripts in video games, you don't have many good musics either in the industry as a whole. Sure, you can have a catchy tune here and there, but is that really good just because it sticks in your head? I'll let you ponder.
I wasn't trying to sound condescending. It's a very well made application. Thanks for your efforts!
How are robots and automation going to replace sales? I find that hard to believe with all the networking and human interaction required.
Businesses have a need for secrets, as grellas explains. Whether or not you call the need "a right" or refer to the secrets as "privacy" isn't really important.

It seems like his particular setup is the limiting factor. He should have no problems with 56k rs-232 wih proper cabling. The mac had a dedicated serial controller used for rs-232 and rs-422.

LocalTalk wasn't speedy and we were pretty thrilled when we got macs that could support 10/t ethernet, but there was a distinct charm to LocalTalk. (like, the terminators for the cabling consisting of a resistor sticking out of an rj-11 jack!)

I still have a few Dayna Ethernet to LocalTalk bridges I the garage...

Unless someone already had passive/active access to your machine before you left, they won't be able to get at your data.

Your restore should be fine, too. Just watch out for passive access being added by the tech teams inspecting your machine (say reinstall-persistent malware) - though this shouldn't happen in the majority of cases, we'd hope.

What is wrong with that? Just because an idea was ahead of time and too idealistic does not mean it's not useful or worthy. Socialistic Sweden is doing better than capitalistic USA. Look at Switzerland considering a quite generous guaranteed basic income.
Docker is something that helps people set up and manage Linux servers. You don't need it.

In fact much of what Docker claims to deliver is actually delivered by some capabilities that have recently been incorporated into the Linux kernel under the title LXC (LinuX Containers). It is similar to Solaris Zones and to the non-kernel features of OpenVZ. Docker just makes LXC a bit easier to use, but you could actually do the same thing with just plain LXC. You would have to figure out some configuration format to use and write some bash scripts. And you would not have the benefit of the community including shared Dockerfiles and the work that Phusion has done on solving some LXC problems.
Out of curiosity, was there anything wrong with the two handed design (like intrinsically/ergonomically, not wiring-related) that caused you to switch back to a one-piece design after the Mark 9?

I've been wanting for years for the monitor-keyboard setup to be replaced by something that's set up to a human body and not a table. Screen is set to your head and not vice versa. Manual input devices are physically based on your hands and not to a table. You don't have to lean forward to look at a screen. You don't have to hunch over (or even tend to hunch over) to type and mouse. Ergonomics problems vastly go out the window because you don't have to conform your body to a machine built for compactness and manufacturability.

On the monitor front, once somebody mods the Oculus Rift for non-gaming [read: programming etc] use, I'll dance an embarassing unskillful engineer jig and then buy one immediately.

On the input (mouse/keyboard) front I'd love to have two devices attached to my hands instead of having to reach forward to a keyboard (dual myo bands? some kind of handheld gig?) so the two-handed keyboards are always intriguing to me and I'd love to hear more about your experience with designing them. (and in general).

Rock on!
It would be a tremendous waste of memory, as a large percently of strings are small. It would also be a massive slowdown for any situations where you are copying a big string unchanged (in which case Ruby "just" marks the string as "copy on write") or where you are copying a small string.

As for slowness, there are many, many obvious targets much higher up the list than String. Slow method dispatch being the primary culprit.
I hope robots will not run to me before I even had a chance to browse the store. "Do you need any help? - No, thank you."
Are they including retail sales associates? When I was a kid you couldn't go shopping anywhere without being molested by a handful of sales people. Now I can walk freely around any department store or costco or best buy or whatever for hours without have to resort to human interaction until checkout (and even then, some stores are self-serve checkout now with 1 person per 4-6 lanes of checkout).

If you continue on that trend you're fitting the prediction pretty well.
I'd wholeheartedly agree with you. As someone that speculatively bought (or should I rather say, bartered) for Bitcoin on IRC before the big crash in 2009, it's the absolute wild-wild west. The saddest thing is seeing newcomers invest some money, they see the price go up, they dump in _everything_ and then there's some mini-crash and they panic sell everything.

Fear and greed are emotions that Bitcoin will teach you about. Don't risk what you can't afford and are not willing to lose.

Maybe I should suffix this and say that I don't think Bitcoin is a bad investment. It has an enormous potential and I still fervently have "faith" that it's going to turn out being something extremely useful long-term, which is why I haven't "cashed out" yet. I'd also gladly trade my BTC for goods as and when stores come online that accept them (e.g. I would gladly trade BTC for second hand books)
In the US maybe. In the rest of the world it's usually free.

IMO:

1) Basic income

2) Tariffs linked to basic income provisions and OHS standards.

The point of 2) is to stop a race from the bottom occurring. You remove the ability to profit by under-mining working and social conditions, because everyone agrees to put a tariff on your goods if you break ranks on 1).
Also one has to question how many of those low-skill workers are capable of "reallocating" to more creative jobs, particularly the older ones.

I suppose hinduism could spread that far. I mean consider this, Buddhism actually originates from India. Buddha was a Hindu Prince! And yet its all over the far east (and ironically not much in India). So i suppose Hinduism could spread that far too. (Well Islam and Christianity sure spread a lot!)

Btw, I think you are right about the whole area not being in Hindu control at one point in time. The largest Indian kngdom i remember was of Ashoka, and even that din't completely cover all of modern day India+Pakistan (he gave up war right before conquering the south-most tip because he converted to Budhism).

But yeah, to each their own I guess. I'm just a bit riled up because calling it "crap" is a very offensive and ignorant statement. I've seen much much worse dull and uninspiring "crap" being sold commercially as pop music, and that's a huge industry nowadays.

Anyhow to lighten up the mood, here, have some great music that might (hopefully) make you change idea.

The entitlement is for the user to feel! That's what the bear is for. He's angry that someone took his domain name.
The last mile handover is usually where things go horribly wrong.

That's why vendors that operate internationally choose UPS, the only courier that can deliver from a factory in China to a doorstep almost anywhere on the planet without having to hand it over to local services, which will vary wildly in quality.

Also, nobody wants to pay the extortionate prices an old school state monopoly like Canada Post apparently is. It always surprises me that North-America holds on to their state systems where in Europe all of this is being privatized and post offices are disappearing. The monopolistic postal service is exactly why competitors can't invest in a better service.
This story is about New Zealand, but I'm sure we agree on which government exerts the pressure that these police state tactics are about to become the new (and apparently accepted) "normal".

>>They wrote Vedas - the manual of vibrations. Following this many field of science evolved in India.

Well.. I've been writing phone games, backend system for gambling sites, written crm sites, spent years on billion dollar companies projects that got nowhere, fixed spelling errors in forms applications used by <3 users, and so on.

Recently I have been working on a project with a client where we have been using SkyDrive and its online Excel for simple and basic collaboration on a few documents.

The thing that I love about this setup is having the original Excel document sat there on the skydrive ready to be edited in the full Excel when more advanced editing is required and seamlessly updated on the web (although not at the same time, which is something I hope will be possible in the future).
Look up a C++ string implementation sometime, and you'll find that this is almost exactly how most efficient C++ string implementations do this too.

And it doesn't need to alternate between length specified or null terminated - they're all length specified (or how do you think short Ruby strings are also able to store ASCII NUL)

Businesses may have "needs" but just because they do doesn't mean we should help them meet them. It may be to the benefit of the public (made of humans) that businesses have no secrets or that their secrets can be investigated.

It's of utmost importance that we never refer to businesses' needs as rights.
>> I'm having a hard time thinking of the millions of job openings of this kind.

Supposedly after manufacturing, the economy will naturally transition to services. What I never got about this theory is what would account for the huge increase in demand for services to support such growth. It seems like the thinking is that, since there will be nothing else to drive the economy, services it must be. The people have no bread? Let them eat services!

Maybe someday I'll write an extensive rebuttal to the idea that jobs will be destroyed by automation and a significant fraction of the populace will be left permanently unemployable or unable to earn a living.

Here are two factors that are important though.

First, money has to be spent somewhere, and robots don't have bank accounts. Money saved through reduction of costs due to automation will naturally end up being spent elsewhere. We'll end up with a much different mix of jobs than previously, but overall employment levels will not diminish. This has already happened numerous times even in the last century. Far fewer people are employed in mining and agriculture. Far fewer people are employed in manufacturing. And so on. Jobs change, the economy changes, people adapt.

Second, wages for "the lower castes" won't fall or be left behind as much as people imagine. A big reason why being Baumol's cost "disease".

Personally I don't view "labor" as a sad, helpless group of unwashed masses a la the "proletariat". I don't think they need to be babied or rescued from the terrifying advance of modernity, I think they need to be empowered to make the adaptions that they've always been capable of. The "labor" of the future that I imagine is a labor of skilled and passionate people, many of them self employed. We're already seeing trends in that direction happening with things like craigslist, etsy, and kickstarter. A considerable amount of growth in the 21st century economy is coming not from "professionals" like software devs but from effectively blue collar folks, people who craft or cook or build or provide services.

HTC One has been an excellent handset; high standard of build quality, "basics" all fine (calls, battery, etc), with its main benefit for us being the fast camera (fast is vital when photographing young kids!).

That may be true if you're the kind of person who never stands up to anybody. If you never voice disagreement or opposition, then you can be that 100% transparent citizen.

But it's difficult or impossible to reverse this, once you've gone down that path.

And as soon as you'll feel like saying something critical, you can very easily be manipulated to remain silent, because the other party will know all your weaknesses. It will know where to attack you efficiently. (And if you take a look at our dumb and immature culture, you will notice that we still think it's ok to judge people, btw. all based on the illusion of "free will").
> Can you name any of the musicians who worked on the games you mentioned, by memory ? Good try.

That's a bit unfair. Movies tend to put the composer's name in big letters right before the movie starts, while in games the name usually comes "buried" in the credits only.

Also I personally find that the best soundtracks come from Japanese games, and I'm not very good at dealing with Japanese games.
