This isn't a privilege thing. The (as you put it) have-nots have attacked Google buses, unfortunately making it a necessity.

That was (imo) the worst part of the blog post. You're comparing death threats from obsessed fans of a platform known for being filled with users of a younger age, to angry backhanded tweets and blog posts from professional software developers.

Thank you. Shit like this is why I love to visit, don't want to live there. Let's be straight: The homeowners who live in San Francisco are greedy hogs: they refuse to share their city with the newcomers by building denser housing, and the government caters to them at the expense of the poor.

The idiots shouldn't be protesting the Google buses, they should be targeting every NIMBY idiot who thinks that it is possible to keep San Francisco the same as it was before. Cities aren't meant to stay the same, they are meant to shift and change and adapt, and they always will. Want to keep the houses single family, the apartments low-rise, and keep the original buildings? Fine, the buildings will look the same, but the people living in them will be filthy rich, cause nobody else will be able to afford it.

The irony to me is that a city filled with people who claim to be environmentally focused is so dead-set on being low-density. Low-density development is, on the aggregate, worse for the environment, but hey, you get to pay 2500 for that bedroom in a Victorian, so why not?

Caltrain picks up in only one location in SF (meaning employees would need to get to CalTrain), it takes over an hour from SF to Mountain View, has no WiFi, and drops off about 3 miles from the Google campus[1].

For a company with no shortage of money, a shuttle makes complete sense.

I've experimented with multiple CGMs and have been plagued with severe accuracy issues. I know this isn't the case for all people, but I found myself constantly recalibrating the CGM only to be given readings that were — no joke — 100% different than the "normal" meter's. I'm talking CGMs giving "30" or "300" when my trusted tester claimed "150."

I was careful w/ calibrations, tried for months, spoke w/ people at the company, etc etc...it just wasn't worth the effort for me. Maybe they're better now, haven't tried in about 3 years.

That was the final straw for me, but the effort around these CGMs is also not to be understated. Calibrations, extra items to lug around attached to your body, extra pieces that can break / not work, etc etc. Anything that helps with this is huge.

When I think of the big picture I realize that Type I Diabetes is nothing compared to the health issues many people deal with, and I consider myself _extremely_ lucky. That being said, it's a daily battle that you never, ever get a break from. Personally, the CGMs didn't make the battle (or my results) much better.

Who knows if this technology would be any better, but I can cross my fingers. I would gladly pay almost all spare money I have for a CGM guaranteed to be both accurate (keep me healthy) and reliable/simple (keep me sane).

Type 1 also, and I fully admit that part of what prevents me from using pump therapy is the CGM technology and how invasive and frustrating it is. The lens project gives me hope, but as others in the thread have mentioned - I've gotten my hopes up on several occasions about potential technologies and agree that it seems like a lot of it comes down to profit. Full disclosure, I'm the COO of a tech company and I love data - so a constant frustration is lack of consistent data that can be manipulated in usable ways. (Also mentioned by others in the thread.)
This seems like a prototype of what Google Glass will evolve into. The medical device will offer a first generation of solutions to several major problems for augmented reality contact lenses: fitting "an antenna for wireless data communications, a chip to process data, and tiny battery onto a tiny, thin, curved surface..."[1]

Then, a later version will need to solve the problem of projecting crisp images from the contact lens onto the user's retina. Google's experience with Glass seems like it could inform that effort. Perhaps we'll see this product on the market with significant usage within 10 years.

Augmented reality contact lenses have other implications. For example: what does it mean for privacy and advertising to not being able to shut one's eyes?

This is great. I hope at least the UI is open-sourced at some point - it's really clear and it'd be good for other reversing tutorials.

One major concern I would have is that, in diabetic patients their eyes experience more dryness than non-diabetic patients. This might lead to more scratches on the cornea and prone to further infections and ulcers. As diabetics care 101, diabetics patients have mucher high risk of systematic infections. And this is all way before any diabetic retinopathy develops in those patients. So why Google[x] thinks it's a good idea to have diabetics patients wear contact lens?

Do you think an expensive pencil performs better than a cheap pencil? What about folders, glue, notebooks, graph paper, etc?

When we get into electronics, the school list specifies which graphing calculator to buy. Will my kids find a used one on ebay? Probably. Will a used one perform worse?

It is an interesting concern, but we haven't had a situation where their frugality has gotten in the way of their education. One of my kids likes fancy mechanical pencils, another one uses wooden pencils until they are nubs. It's their choice :)

You have to admit, whoever came up with that law was being pretty clever. If only they would use some of that cleverness to just send me a bill for my taxes.
I have a pretty sure fire way to solve this problem.

Step 1.
Call your local Manpower or Kelly temp work office.

Step 2.
Ask to do the most unskilled rote industrial labor intensive job they have.

Step 3.

Do this for a full 40 hour week.

If after the entire ordeal you're not inspired to quit the temp agency and go work on your project you should probably quit both.

Problem solved.

No kidding. This is either a lie "Golly, I had no idea, I am shocked! Until this news story blows over.", or a scary truth. If a contractor for the NSA was able to find more shocking abuses of liberty than the Commander in Chief knew of, it would seem what little oversight there is, is completely ineffective.

Both look bad for NSA and Obama, both should compel us to demand more transparency.

P.S. Some would say Snowden should have gone the sanctioned whistleblower route to bring this to the attention of the proper parties such as Pres. Obama. Personally I am not optimistic that that would have been effective. I believe Snowden has claimed trying to start conversations with superiors, and NSA claims he never did such a thing.
Can someone explain why I would want to support OpenBSD?

I get, from the comments, that: openSSH is great (sure, I can believe it) and Theo is an asshole but you should compromise and give them money anyway.

I don't get why a parallel operating system ought to continue existing, especially one that comes from the same legacy codebase as several others. I also don't get why, if openSSH is so good, the goal isn't to write a new SSH or fund openSSH separately and drop the rest that can't be supported. Why does the world needs OpenBSD instead of having the talent focused on making a smaller number (..Linux) better.

Certainly the answer might be 'because that's what the talent wants to work on' but that's not a good reason to fund it.

I have also gotten the impression, from limited observation, that there are real problems in the open source community with too many people doing the same thing and not working together, and with people being jerks (or just generally anti-social or at least not-highly-personable) and making it hard to get involved or care about otherwise important projects. I don't think supporting Theo, from what I've read here, helps that trend.

I know very little. Can someone fill me in?
One of the author posted on Reddit that they had been contacted by the administration and their project was being re-considered.
I did not break any commit rules. I acted as an agent of the company that is responsible for management of that project, and I did so in a manner that promoted the company's agenda. (Which, just incidentally, is that OSS should be inclusive of non-male people, and that our language should reflect this explicit inclusion.)

"Libel"? What did Bryan write that was a false statement? There were some unkind judgements, but I didn't see any factually untrue statements in it.

If not, then as it turns out, your claim that Bryan committed libel is itself libel, as it impugns his character by promoting a falsehood (ie, that he committed libel).

Don't use words you don't understand.

How about open sourcing the tool. Release the tool as a self hosted solution, and let any one who wants to host it, host it. Or just use for their own purposes. I am not sure if that could get them in trouble, as I am not sure what crazy provisions Yale has in their student honor code. To be safe I would obfuscate my connection to the open source tool, if I were a student.
The reason Steam does sales is because they make more money: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/10/24/less-is-more-gabe.... From the article, they expected that cutting Counter-Strike by 75% would result in 4 times the number of people buying it, thus being revenue neutral. Instead 160 people bought it for every person that regularly did, this increasing the revenue by 40x!

He's right about charging less in alpha and beta: those players are taking a bigger risk and for a multiplayer game he needs to build critical mass. But after the game is launched, Valve's results show that sales make you more money, not less.

> Because of things like this, I now think both protests were just whiny children crying but it's not faaaaaaair!! without bothering to think anything through.

Says the guy who didn't bother to do 10 minutes of research either in this thread or anything linked to in it. Heh.

Look, I don't think the violence is okay, and I do think to a degree, the protests against the buses and gentrification are poorly aimed. But these people are not protesting without cause.

A recent protest focused quite heavily on the number of evictions going around San Francisco, in an effort to raise the rent on the property. The gentrification here is stark- families who have lived here decades have seen their per-month payouts rise by hundreds, if not thousands of dollars over just the last decade. All of this in a city that by and large doesn't receive tax money from companies making the greatest profit(by working outside of the city's bounds and busing their people in), and can't afford to raise taxes very easily without hitting middle-income families.

Don't turn into just the caricature of someone too aloof to even attempt to understand.
Google runs shuttles to the caltrain and it isn't three miles away from campus. Campus is huge; I see plenty of google employees on caltrain. There are 2 Caltrain stops in SF.

The issue with Caltrain is that there are simply not enough trains running on it to ferry all the people who need to get to the South Bay. My ideal solution is better express routes through the city to the caltrain station and from there shuttles to the corporate campuses. We'd need some serious infrastructure improvements to the caltrain however.

I wish companies were more willing to spend their lobbying money on pushing politicians to commit to infrastructure improvements that could benefit a broader stripe of the population then just their employees.
Absolutely love Rdio too, but you're also completely right about search on their iOS app. Not only does it not take you back to the results, but when searching for a song or artist, for whatever reason it does not prioritize for what's synced to your phone. Overall, amazing service with a great UI, but search needs some improvements.
Devil's advocate:

Why don't the people of MountainView and surrounding towns build high-density developments on their own door-step near the employers? Why don't you accuse homeowners there of being 'greedy hogs'?

Why don't all the people who want to work at Google and Facebook move closer to work? Why do they have to be so selfish to want to live in the city? Why do they expect their employer to bus them to work for free? They're grown ups, they can pay their own way and take Caltrain or drive, and if that's inconvenient then move!

For every dollar that a Google employee does not spend on transport to work, that's a dollar extra of disposable income that can be spent on rent. Google perks can be considered a subsidy which is inflating rental prices. True, right?

Why doesn't Google, an Internet company, figure out ways to build software and products with distributed teams?! Why do you need thousands of people in the same building? How many people does the average employee really need to speak to face-to-face on a daily basis?
I agree with this. If you haven't been doing anything in past few weeks, go do something, anything. More mundane the better but it would help you a great deal if you do someone a favor. When I'm burn out I just do the chores around house. I will deep clean my house, my car or just organize my stuff. Send letters, photos to my family. May be not the most productive tasks but it tells my subconscious mind that I'm doing things and this just carries over into the real work. Suddenly I'm back in swing of doing the things that matter.
I thought this was an interesting article, but the following jumped out at me:

>Ronald Thompson’s case, and so many others, reveals that prosecutors don’t think that twenty-year sentences for shooting into the ground constitute justice. Why else would the plea bargain stay on the table.

The reason (in a majority of cases) plea bargains stay on the table is not because the prosecutors don't think the mandatory minimums constitute justice, rather the prosecutors do not have an incentive or otherwise want to go to trial. Therefore, they dangle the carrot and stick in front of the defendant (e.g. in this case, take 3 years or roll the dice and if convicted serve the minimum 20). So why don't prosecutors want to go to trial? Because the have extremely large case loads, they could not possibly take them all to trial, but to even take one to trial requires exponentially more work than getting the defendant to accept a plea. Additionally, if a prosecutor does all the extra work required with going to trial (win or lose) they do not get paid for all the extra work.
Arguably there's a bigger beef with the Valley folks--after all, they're the ones who've built the world's largest surveillance networks and data-gathering systems.
Why do the Americans insist on using this form of ritual torture killing even when the correct drugs to make it work are unavailable? Guns are incredibly popular in America, so why don't they just put a bullet in the criminal's head? Much more humane, and a good opportunity to exercise their 2nd amendment rights at the same time.

There are other options. Decapitation and hanging are old fashioned methods that we used use in Europe before we become civilised. They are painful, but not as painful as this, and they are cheap and don't require any special drugs. Yet the alternative American method seems to be the electric chair! Again it's expensive, complicated, painful.

Americans seem to be the sort of people who if you gave them a free copy of Mac OS X that would run on any hardware they would decide to buy Windows 8 instead.

The professors I had at Yale were all pretty good. Of course, I was a grad student, so I didn't take all that many classes.
We think we fixed this now.
It's perfectly consistent to think that non-enumerated rights should be protected by lawmakers without thinking that judges should enforce them. Remember, judicial review isn't even codified in the constitution. (If the framers had both considered and wanted judicial review, they obviously would ave written it in.) If we let judges infer non-enumerated rights, they could do anything. It's one thing to allow an unelected person interpret written word, but it's crazy to let the effectively create new rights based on their personal conceptions. Instead, the failure is with lawmakers.
I am fairly convinced that Yale would absolutely love to know which staff fits your description, and have detailed and convincing argument to let them improve their teaching style — or gladly defer that burden to more competent TAs. With increasing competition between universities, details like “accent too strong, can’t understand what professor says” become a million-dollar problem, with a solution that is actually cheaper.

Yale understandably knew that such platforms can be useful, but need some tweaking: anonymous reviews tend to aggregate YouTube-grade insults — and people who dedicated decades to their expertise do not react well to being openly and repeatedly described as “sucks ASS and Booawles!!!!!” by entitled students who failed after submitting their papers a month late.

“Open” and teenagers with social bias don’t mix nearly as well as one would love.
".. while they were in Richardson’s garage, Joy came in and said she wanted some marijuana. Richardson further testified that McGuire offered to get her some, and the two left in McGuire’s car.
The following day, February 12, two hikers found the body of Joy Stewart in some woods near Bantas Creek. The front
of her shirt was saturated with blood.
One deputy sheriff at the scene, Larry Swihart, also noted
that there appeared to be a “blood wipe mark” on her right arm. The body was taken to the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office, where an autopsy was performed. The autopsy revealed
that Joy had been stabbed twice. One wound, located above the left collarbone, caused no significant injury. The critical wound was a four-and-a-half-inch-deep cut in the throat, which completely severed the carotid artery and jugular vein.
The doctor determined that Joy was alive when she received the wound, and that such a wound could have been caused by
a single-edged blade shorter than four and a half inches, due to “how soft and moveable the tissues are in the neck.” The autopsy also revealed abrasions around the neck, impressed with the cloth pattern of Joy’s shirt.
The coroner’s office also took vaginal, oral, and anal swabs. The coroner found an abundant amount of sperm on the
anal swab, some sperm on the vaginal swab, and none on the oral swab. The coroner indicated that sperm could be detected in the vagina for days or sometimes weeks after
ejaculation; however, sperm in the rectum could be detected
for a lesser time “because the environment is fairly hostile for sperm, and * * * a bowel movement * * * usually will purge the rectum of any sperm.”
