Love watching this. It makes you realize that the process of discovery and trial/error during programming is universal to everyone and what makes you feel sometimes stupid should never stop you carrying on.
Also shows the celebration of the minor successes ('yeah! it's working'), followed by the 'what the... ?' is something even the greatest experience.

I have only had remote jobs for the past 5 years (two jobs at two different companies on the opposite side of the country).

I found both of them on craigslist (and many more..that either I turned down the offer..or they didn't hire me)..maybe you can look here?

To be exact, they currently send around "Abmahnungen" (written warnings; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abmahnung ). Germany is quite "special" in these laws, and there is a lot of abuse of this here. You can just wonder what the actual trademark owners are thinking about this (and how someone can be convinced of officially registering terms like "Gamer").

They secured these terms:

3020130531612 | Barney Stinson

On Google Play you can ask for a refund. The request gets forwarded to the developer who can accept to do the refund or not.

Steam could at least provide that.
Is the autonomous car really the robotics killer app? I don't doubt that the autonomous car will reshape more than one industry (real estate, insurance, and transportation spring to mind), but I think proper robots might allow us to shed so many assumptions about what is possible that it's actually currently difficult to imagine all the things they will end up being used for.
It is the eighth robotic company that Google has acquired in the past 6 months.

And, Boston Dynamics had created lot of interesting robots such as WildCat, Cheetah, Atlas, Petman and Big Dog. We can see highlights of them at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4OCko9Ws6M

An interesting experiment I conducted in ACJC. The test subject was a teacher.
Sure, you can run command line c# apps just fine but the web hosting solutions for c# web apps are terrible compared to IIS + Windows.

And this is coming from a linux veteran who wrote a C# web app and hosted it in production on Linux for a few months and then had to re-write it in .NET MVC hosted on IIS. I hate Windows servers. Every time I have to RDP into them to change some configs instead of just vi'ing files in /etc I want to shoot myself.
The advantage is that it's definitely all in memory the first time you read it. For games this is very nice.
It doesn't help that the robots produced by BD look a bit like the ones from "robots versus humans" movies. This acquisition feels a bit scary, but also very exciting. In reality, self-awareness is probably far enough away that we don't have much to worry about for now.

For command line apps they're fine. For web apps you still need to host them on Windows + IIS since the Linux+Mono c# web hosting is awful.

> it's sad to see all of that money be wasted on rounded corners, perfecting fonts, and scrolling animations.

It may seem like a waste from a technocratic point of view, but it's probably worth it just for popularizing and normalizing technology. If we didn't have that bump in style and usability in smartphones/tablets, people would be less comfortable with carrying around the internet in their pocket, there'd be less demand for tech like 4G, etc. Now people's minds are a bit more open to pervasive tech, and it may help adoption of whatever tech BD+Google develops.
I don't understand your indignation. Just because this guy is in a minority compared to most presidents does not mean he is wrong.

"Infected with these ideas", really? Is it not you who has a fossilized thinking in regard to what other people should do? "he should act like a president, dress like a president and live like a president". Why, because you say so? I believe that if he is the president then he should act respectfully to his citizens, of which a lot still live in poverty. Dressing up in the most expensive clothes, living in luxury houses and eating only the finest food is a slap in the face of every person in that country who was not lucky enough to be born in a position that would grant them a good life.
In the same vein, there's also anarcho-tyranny[1] coined by Samuel Francis

What we have in this country today, then, is both anarchy (the failure of the state to enforce the laws) and, at the same time, tyranny – the enforcement of laws by the state for oppressive purposes; the criminalization of the law-abiding and innocent through exorbitant taxation, bureaucratic regulation, the invasion of privacy, and the engineering of social institutions, such as the family and local schools; the imposition of thought control through "sensitivity training" and multiculturalist curricula, "hate crime" laws, gun-control laws that punish or disarm otherwise law-abiding citizens but have no impact on violent criminals who get guns illegally, and a vast labyrinth of other measures. In a word, anarcho-tyranny.

which is sort of inverted authoritarianism.

> Fortunately no-one has invented AI yet.

Not that we know but if someone did create it, is it reasonable to think that an AI would soon learn that humans should not know about its existence and kill the creator by hiring bitcoin paid killers ?

Obviously the bitcoin will be acquired via hacks on wallet, mining on hacked boxes, etc

Will this work only for Americans? Is there a minimum deposit amount?
I can think of a few projects that would be useful and fun, i.e. laundry-sorting bot, sandwich-making-bot etc., but they'd all be expensive and difficult to do.

A cheap, robust robot hand/arm would go a long way towards making this kind of robot-hacking accessible, but the bigger obstacle is that the generic computer vision building blocks that you'd need don't really exist yet (OpenCV is a good start)

The problem is that many tasks that seem simple (when you take millions of years of visual system evolution for granted), for example recognizing a sock in a pile of laundry, turn out to be pretty difficult.
CCTV have just ( as of 11:30 UTC ) announced live coverage from 20:00 to 22:00 Beijing Time.
> In 30 years, there's a good chance that you won't be using any of the technology that you're using today. Spend the next 20 years doing the same technology in a big company and you might find yourself with a big problem.

I don't doubt that it'd be different technology. But why would I not evolve? I'm constantly learning new languages and techniques through side projects. People who aren't constantly pushing themselves to learn more probably should get left behind.
Are you just stringing words together by rolling dice here?

If the planets align with Saggittarius, and they just might, crystal chakra energy will release thetans and quantum bio vibrations will slaughter thousands. Sylvia Browne's dreams will literally become reality.

1. In the Matrix, humans were not replaced by machines.

2. The Matrix was not a post-singularity world

3. Ray Kurzweil hopes humans will achieve {some kind of singularity}( it's not clearly defined) for the benefit of humans.

4. This news is about physical moving robots, it's the less relevant part. If you fear self improving AI then Google's usual software work should be what you panic about.
I'll tell you what I told my deeply catholic father when he mentioned this; once they start sending out engineers and doctors instead of missionaries, then I'll be impressed.

> Whereas in Nazi Germany the state dominated economic actors, in inverted totalitarianism, corporations through political contributions and lobbying, dominate the United States, with the government acting as the servant of large corporations. This is considered "normal" rather than corrupt

Indeed. As a non-American, I find it quite absurd that corporations can "donate money" to change a Congressman's opinion on a law, and then support them in Congress when passing new bills. As far as I know that's what bribing is pretty much anywhere else. So US has in effect legalized bribing, and almost everyone in US seems to think that's "normal" and okay, and that there's "little corruption" in US, when in fact the whole government wreaks of "legalized" corruption.

Does that happen in other countries, too? Sure. Bribing is everywhere. But at least we see it for what it is, and even if we don't catch them in the act, there can be investigations later, and have them arrested. Good luck doing that in US - ever.

The US is also hardly a democracy, even if the politicians were perfect. The voting system of the US (and the UK too), is just horrendous.

The simple fact that in some cases less than 40 or 30% of the population can choose an election (if you don't believe me, look it up on youtube, CGP Grey made a video about it), show it's hard to take seriously the claim that the US is a democracy.
This is such a briliant concept. U dont need supercomputer to run hardcore apps from your home computer, but you can still be as much productive as working on latest and fastest computer.

That was absolutely horrible. Could not watch more than a couple of minutes.
I hate it when some people misuse Wikipedia like this. This reads like an opinion piece, and belongs to a blog.

edit: from the talk and history, the term was invented by Wolin, but has found little acceptance elsewhere. I am all for adding this to Wikipedia once it becomes generally accepted. But not as a means to get there.
> Are you declaring that there are copyright doctrines more restrictive than the US?

For copyright specifically (not IP in general, and definitely not patents), the US is very soft.

For instance many mainland euro country have a concept of Author's Rights (or moral rights), which may well be perpetual, inalienable, unwaivable and unassignable (in a company, the moral rights belong to the employee who created the work, the company has an exclusive license to the economy rights of the work). In french law, moral rights provide 4 sub-rights:

* divulgation right, the author is sole holder of the right to decide the original disclosure of the work

* paternity right, respect must be given to the parental relation between the author and the work

* work respect right, the author can forbid any and all transformative work. This alone means "fair use" is much, much broader in the US than in France

* repent right, even after divulgation the author can "uncirculate" the work (although he may have to compensate license holders)

and because these moral rights are perpetual and inalienable, you can't put something in the public domain in France, you can only provide a universal license. The work will only fall in the public domain once copyright has expired.
"Visit and nothing else" is a great idea. Living there isn't.
I love the old Rainbow 6 and the Arma series. But that's a matter of taste, I guess.

Yahoo mail is great for all the "noise" accounts I need. E.g. schedule announcements from my kids' sports coaches (my wife tracks those, so I only want a "backup" copy).

Having all that go to Yahoo keeps my other mail accounts much quieter than they otherwise would be. Keeps me from missing personal messages, etc.

I can now once again access my Yahoo mail, but what has gotten very little mention is that, so far, Yahoo hasn't restored about 10 days of email to my account. Incoming mail stops about Nov 30 and doesn't resume until Dec 11. That's not believable. I normally get 5 or 10 emails a day to Yahoo. So the odds are very high that Yahoo lost this incoming email to me, not that everyone just stopped sending mail to my Yahoo account for about 10 days.
I think you've hit on something important that I didn't realize at first; patents. Those BD patents have got to be worth a lot of time & money to Google. When I first read that Google had acquired BD I was shocked and a little scared, but now it makes a lot of sense.
Its also not that hard to build a backward (prolog) or forward (datalog) chaining predicate rule system in whatever your favorite language is; as a bonus, you'll get to learn the joys of unification, or go crazy with some higher order predicates.

Once you get bored with unification, then look at dealing with inequalities and learn some constraint solving. Prolog and datalog look quite simplistic compared to some of the more developed logics out there.
Iran 'sends monkey to space for second time'
That really depends on what Clan/Group you play with, how good their map creators and modders are. Many a game has been much more realistic in that way than you seem to think - mostly because most of the players in those groups are active-duty soldiers, there are commanders, and the map/mission creators are mil/ex-mil as well.
1) Are US taxes half EU taxes then?

2) "Middle class", do you mean working classes?

3) Why do so many people think its a choice between the two, socialism and capitalism? What people want is a sensible compromise where both systems work to service all of society's needs, instead of a single system which can only benefit one part of society. No one serious thinks pure, exclusive socialism is the answer to anything? Its not. Neither is pure exclusive capitalism. Simply, capitalism raises the money to pay for socialism to provide a useful work force and services for capitalism. We need a balance.
It's not misuse - it's a political concept, described by Wolin, a well known and respected academic in the field most thoroughly in his book "Democracy Incorporated - Managed Inverted Totalitarianism": http://www.amazon.com/Democracy-Incorporated-Managed-Inverte...

I mean, if this is misuse, you'd better nix nihilism, liberalism, socialism, and all the rest, as those are also just "opinions".
Honduras has life + 75 years. Also some countries provide circumstantial extensions e.g. France's copyright is life + 70, but if the author is "Mort pour la France" (died for France, which is usually applied to service members but may also apply to civilians) it's life + 80.
Well anyone who can reliably get around-the-house helper robots into people's homes is going to be the next-next megacorp.
There's a basis in reality for those. many powerful technologies have been used in the fast for "evil".
I might agree with you in other fields, but not in technology. There's no good reason (provided you have the ability to work) to have a 6 month to a year gap in your resume where you have nothing to show. You don't have to start a company (in the entrepreneurial sense) to do freelance/contract work. There are tons of remote opportunities.

Even if you can't find a job during that time, there's still things you can do to improve your chances of getting employed. Start learning new technologies, attend/start a local meetup, build a website, volunteer, take online courses (many of which are free or low-cost), answer questions on StackOverflow, contribute to projects on GitHub.

The worst thing you can do is to just interview and wonder why you aren't getting any offers. Technology is a rapidly changing field, if you can't get a job with your current skill set, do something about it and show that on your resume.

XPrivacy (FLOSS, uses Xposed framework, mostly fakes data instead of cancelling access, if possible) works for me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2320783

It has some rough edges like asking me to check permissions after every (auto)update, even if app hadn't requested any new permissions, but allows relatively fine-grained (API function-name-level) permission control. Root permissions are only required to install Xposed, after Dalvik's runtime's hooked no root's required.

Oh, and "pro" features are useless (you can just build your own version from GitHub sources to enable export, and sharing is completely awkward without any UI to see what happened), but I still donated. Disclaimer: I have no affiliation to this project other than using it on my phone.

There are so many Chrome options for the same thing. Hoverzoom was the original, but became commercial-fied and was forked to create Hover Free. The Hover Free devs were recently impressed with a couple other guys' great work on a competing add-on, Imagus, and abandoned their own work to help on Imagus. I have to say, Imagus is pretty awesome -- it even lets you page through (arrow buttons) imgur galleries inside the popup.

Generally, heads of states and governments aren't meant to go buy their official residences, they have the use of one provided by the state. The Dutch prime ministers official residence is Catshuis. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catshuis

Also, you're conflating head of state and head of government. Mujica and Putin are heads of state, Rutte is head of government. The Dutch head of state is the king, and he has a couple of palaces at his disposal.
