FWIW if you go back about 3 pages in my comment history there are some highly technical posts that might be exactly what you're looking for. Things about Futamura projections, real-time web scalability, Python 3.4, Google open-source projects (of which I've authored a major one), etc.

"The one place where we only care what is inside peoples heads and not their feelings?"

Here's the thing: no, you can't. At least not if you want your work to have a big impact on the world. The real world outside of technology circles runs on emotions, and if you ignore them you'll isolate yourself into a small bubble of little relevance to the outside world.

This was a hard lesson for me to learn, because I've always been really facile with logic and really dumb about emotions. What made me eventually put in the effort to understand emotions better was that I hit a brick wall in what I could accomplish with code alone. I was writing a lot of code that was technically challenging but nobody was using or caring about, and getting outpaced by people who didn't really know how to code but were adept at getting others to work for them.

There are sites on the Internet - like the technical mailing lists and bugtrackers of specific open-source projects - which do focus exclusively on technical discussions. Hacker News has always had a focus on the impact of technology, though, and that includes social hacks through and about technology.
OP here. Thought I'd give more detail. Say I earn $100/hr, working a 40hr week, I am limited to earning $4,000 a week (before tax and assuming I work a full week at 8 hours a day). I also get unique insight into my clients' problems, which are often common across clients. How can I turn this into stable, repeatable business that scales beyond by weekly potential earnings?
I've always thought of dogecoin as the "CJ" of cryptocurrencies, and I'm still not entirely sure I'm mistaken about that.

In that context, this is a much tamer "conspiracy" than I expected.
Amazingly insane spam email I just received

The amusing/sad thing is that so many folks don't realize that only a few of the "market movers" actually profit. Those who don't have the inside inside track, will lose when those who make the call to buy and sell. The whole "we move the market" thing is accurate...but, the suckers who think they're part of moving the market are just the people giving money to "-wolong-". I have a hard time feeling sorry for people losing money in such a scheme, because they intended to take money from others...but, still, the biggest asshole in this scenario is the leader of the pump.
What makes the OP a "sad idiot"?

Indeed, and by coincidence Izabella Kaminska published an interesting piece on why that's true with reference to cryptocurencies yesterday:

I think your final statement is demonstratably false.

There are many more ways to discuss things and to promote your interests/views. That is sort of the whole reason crowd funding and the like came about and function. There is much greater interconnection between any given individual than I think you care to admit.

Yes the vast majority of social networking is pretty vapid... But to use even a ridiculous example of such, like the Kony memes of 2012, you can see what I'm talking about. The meme became a joke, but brought a lot of attention to something that likely would have just disappeared, or never even have entered the 'public' consciousness otherwise. The Travyon Martin situation (regardless of your stance on it), also became a much larger issue than it likely would have without endless tweets, shares, jokes, memes, etc.
From a constitutional standpoint, that is irrelevant. In a benevolent dictatorship that would be justification enough for any policy,no matter how restrictive or oppressive. If that is in fact the sole assumption you base your views on, there are larger problems in your argument than I anticipated.

The real question in what is meant to be a constitutional democracy is whether there is a popular mandate for industrial espionage enabled by mass telecommunications surveillance.

If you can't establish a clear connection between the popular will and a government policy then that policy shouldn't exist. As Snowden has stated repeatedly:

>The consent of the governed is not consent if it is not informed.
I have family members who are (good) police officers and I've discussed this with them in great detail. Their concerns boil down to the following:

- Some of the pro-camera advocates are in favor of gun cameras, which turn on when a gun is drawn. The fairly reasonable argument against those is that they fail to capture what happened immediately prior to the gun being drawn, lacking context

- The always-on cameras are unpleasant to consider, simply because who wants to be recorded all the time? There's a concern that a casual conversation before a police incident might be taken out of context or used to embarass the officer

- There are also cameras that are designed to activate either manually or automatically when you leave your squad car. These are better, but apparently there are reliability issues, or what happens when a camera accidentally does not turn on? Is the officer automatically going to be judged as negligent?

- Beyond these things, police departments have generally terrible IT. Who's going to maintain the cameras? Who's going to manage the retention of the video? What about the privacy of the officers? And so on.

Note, I'm not saying these are universally valid complaints, or that the reality would be as bad as officers fear. But I think that in the same way people in general chafe against oversight that they worry could be used against them, police officers worry about being monitored and tracked moreso than they already are.

When I asked them what they thought should be done to curb police abuses, one of them who is a senior police official pointed out that study after study shows that the vast majority of police abuses are committed by a very small number of officers. That the better way to handle police officers who abuse their power is to make it easier to get rid of police officers who are bad instead of spending lots of money and effort to try to watch all officers.

They did all agree though that in a perfect world cameras would be awesome, because it would remove a lot of the worry they have around someone lying about their behavior. Their concerns were around real-world implementation.

I'm personally in favor of cameras for police, but I wanted to present the other side of the argument I've heard.
Market manipulation happens everywhere, why is this special?
Some server side code is required to obtain the data. Out of curiosity, what would it have to be written in to make you feel safe?
Just to be clear, your stance is that paying people to do something will have no impact on the number of people who choose to do it?
Not sure what your definition of "big" is. I have worked at Linkedin for 4 years and have been very happy there.

That sounds like an unusual experience. I just checked through a few days of my spam folder and didn't find a single legitimate email.
I don't think anyone is going to be dumb enough to try the specific scenario this article outlines. The real world is noisy, and in practice, an objective like "reroute path to include Krispy Kreme, but only if it isn't too far out of the way" is going to have too many edge cases to do 100% reliably.

And it only takes one "my car made me 40 minutes late to work by trying to take me by a Krispy Kreme in the next town" story to turn this idea into a gigantic embarrassment for everyone involved.
I disagree. Why do you say they are?
My corporate work experience is minimal, but I think it's possible to find a good groove at Intel. You would have to check if they have teams working in your area of expertise in Santa Clara or San Francisco though.

$100K does the following for me:

- is a down payment on a house.

- pays off my student loans.

- replaces our old clunker with a new reliable hybrid

- puts me 3-4 years ahead in terms of my financial planning

Yup, worth it!
This isn't that scary, in situations where the passenger does not own the vehicle the route is probably going to be shown to them on the device that they use to request the car, so there is plenty of opportunity for a negotiated route (rather than a route determined strictly by the vehicle/operator).

The trick is convincing enough people that they should pay attention to the route they pay for.
They can. It's expensive and often doesn't work when you need it most. Lots and lots of long-term gay couples can attest to the expense, complication and ineffectiveness of trying to replicate marriage through contract law and other civil deeds.
Ensuring ongoing access to petro fuels for the US is absolutely a credible national security interest, IMO.
Marriage is an anachronism - a form of oppression at odds with the consumer society that we worship.

Hey - time for my Soma!
Have you even looked at the (trivial amount) of PHP source code? Where is PHP going to be attacked? Perhaps I am missing something obvious but it seems like PHP is running some linux commands and parsing the results, not sure how this would be different/safer in another language?

Also you can put it behind http auth or restrict the vhost by IP etc
I wonder how biased it is, and what lengths they took to make it unbiased.

> Until now it was only "we just do it for the bad guys", not "to fuck France and Sweden businesses over".

Industrial Espionage is something that everyone does to everyone else. The US did not invent it, it goes far back in history, and everyone is involved.

The difference today is the US just happens to have the best and biggest resources to do it well.

What's disgusting is this direction that Snowden has taken.

He's game now is to embarrass the US, and to give ammunition to countries and players to use on their next negotiation deal with the US.
Wow, that is insane. Think the police or FBI should try to track down whoever sent that?
I don't think, that pressing down wages because so many want to work for Google does the company real good. Happier (content) programmers are better programmers.
"From a Constitutional standpoint"? The Constitution is completely silent on this issue.
Regardless of whether or not that is true (and full disclosure, I doubt that it is from what I've read) it is surprising to me how something with tenuous evidence can be presumptively believed to be true in certain circles. His own wife says it was a "tragic accident", and his brother says he believed Hastings to be in a "manic episode" at the time.

Why is it that random people on the internet have so much more suspicion and rage than his loved ones who were closest to him?

This isn't really meant to be directed at you, so much as expressing my frustration with a sort of casual canonization of a dubious event as a conspiracy.
I don't understand why Netflix aren't also making their own regular nightly/weekly shows (topical comedy, politics, current events, etc.), such as you find on HBO and Comedy Central. They could make several of those type of shows on a relatively modest budget, and it'd give viewers greater reason to continue subscribing.
Nearing two months, yes.
You're moving the goalposts. First, you suggest that US citizens are unlikely to support industrial espionage because they don't support it when China does it to us. Now, you suggest they don't support it because the word "espionage" is scarier than the word "war". Neither argument is strong, but at least be coherent.
I think the basis is that if you are poor and have children, there is a sharp penalty for being married, as household income limits for public assistance rule out homes with two working. There were a few folks profiled in our local paper who actually divorced after having surprise triplets in order to qualify for WIC and Medicaid subsidies for the kids.

The effect of these policies is pretty clear, especially among African Americans. Statistically, they were the most married population pre-LBJ. Today, not so much.
Intuit is consistently ranked highly in lists at Glassdoor, Fortune, etc. Often cited as a relaxed work environment compared to others in the Bay Area.
We would, had we not needed 10-ish other machines to complete the process. Our machine only does the 'difficult' part (lithography), not all the nasty chemistry parts.

Admittedly, this means that my description of what the machine does was cutting some corners. Ridiculously many, actually, but ok :)
The HP you reference is a lot cheaper:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?gclid=CIvD7qzOnLw...

$1,629. It would need a nice video card, I think, but let's call it $2,000. Now, it still better than the Mac Pro, because if you have a bunch of disks, you need to spend, for the Mac Pro, between $1,500 and $2,500 to hold the disks. That makes the Mac Pro a LOT more expensive.
Any reasoning behind such a generically bold statement?
It is highly specious to consider that the opinion of the US public matters at all to Snowden at this point.

The American military-industrial religion can justify its heinous criminal acts against humanity all it likes - there are still, nevertheless, some of us out here who would rather not live in fear of American tyranny. Who would like to actually build companies to compete with American concerns, and defeat them in the marketplace before it becomes too late.

What of this not-insignificant portion of the world who do not share the American privilege, yet nevertheless must labor under its hegemony? Do you think the subjects of American abuse care much if the American people deny their citizen, Edward Snowden, his due?

Certainly, to a majority of people in the world, Edward Snowden - and people like him, selflessly working to deconstruct the heinous machine built by maniacs and death-worshippers - is a hero.
Microsoft Silicon Valley is actually pretty awesome. HQ isn't in the bay area, but their Silicon Valley campus is 10 minutes away from Google's HQ in Mountain View.
I don't understand why, when questions like these are asked, they are never answered...
I make Zudio (http://zud.io), a tool for managing Azure storage, which uses Azure storage for its own system data. I've made it a goal since day one of developing it that I wouldn't use any other tool, and I've successfully stuck to that. It's been an excellent way to drive the development forward.
"cheat" as in "eliminate marriage's tax burden" in response to the parent commenter's assertion. Single childless people get maximum tax penalties always.

Yes, in many ways it's personal but likely not for the ones you think.

As for "vastly underestimating costs of children", not at all. My brother is quite poor and has a teenaged child and I've been managing his family & business finances for well over the past decade. Yes they file separately for a significant tax savings. I know exactly what it costs and I will tell you that the costs for a middle class family and a poor family are quite different. If you are living in California, working for startups and can even _consider_ daycare then you are in a vastly different situation from where I live, where teen moms and being poor are the norm. Full-time, year-round employment is rare here. But of course, the tax penalties & benefits are the same for your filing status no matter what the actual situation is.

Over here, often it's grandma taking care of the kids and the $3000 refund check the typically-single mother gets go to drugs and tattoos.

So here I am, working my butt off, not having kids I can't take care of...and even in the years where I have 0 withholding exemptions, the government decides that they need more money from me than they've taken and there's no wiggle room or options for me to do anything about it.

I'm working class and marriage and raising kids aren't even a reasonable thing to consider. I'd love more than anything to have a family. My only solution is to find a way to earn more money.

I wish it could be properly explained to white middle-class folks that in most cases "born poor stays poor"
They’re headquartered in Amsterdam, not SF, but Booking.com are probably worth a mention. (They have offices globally.)

I was invited over to their HQ to give a talk late last year and wow. An amazing company, every employee has a huge smile and nothing but great things to say, they have a really great culture, are a very wealthy company, and engineers are given a lot of freedom. Had I not just started working for myself, I would have taken them up on the full-time jobs they offered me!

Back when in dashboard GPS was a thing, wasn't access to the device cut off while the vehicle was in gear? I wonder how that will interact with an autonomous vehicle.

There are some interesting financial issues where driving me, slowly, past every McDonalds would waste a lot of time and gas. How much gasoline will I have to buy because a retailer purchased X number of drivebys?

For a variety of interesting and irrelevant dietary reasons I don't eat at McDonalds. Presumably a smart enough socially connected car would understand that and not waste my gasoline, time, mileage, and a restauranteurs purchased drivebys so it would not route me past McDonalds. There are two amusements. The first is lying and suddenly according to social media 90% of americans are now following a paleo vegan diet, or never eat any cuisine except Bolivian (because to the best of my knowledge there are no centers of Bolivian cuisine anywhere nearby me) The second is the car equivalent of "swatting" where you fool a social network into believing the victim is a huge supporter of NORML so it routes the car thru some interesting neighborhoods, or endless fun with rightwingers who are now "in the closet" per social media so they get routed past certain bars and bathhouses and such.

One significant problem is autonomous vehicles would remove the need to pay as much attention outside... so advertising would seem fairly pointless. I use mythtv at home to skip legacy TV network commercials; coming up with an exciting new technology to tailor TV commercials to me, which I'm going to skip anyway, sounds very much like horseshoe mfgrs trying to tailor their horseshoes to appeal to the new automobile invention a century or so ago. If no one's looking out the window any more, why spend all that money on signs? Just send them email spam. You can sent a lot of social media spam for the cost of running a giant neon sign 24x7 for a decade.
I work on a platform aimed at large non-profits that integrates online donations, advocacy, and various social features with Salesforce. I'm not running an enterprise level non-profit so not real sure what I'd use it for personally.
Honestly I'm convinced it's a lot more generally applicable than scientific computing. Much of heavy lifting I had to do in C, I can now do in Julia with nearly the same speed and efficiency. Plus, for a lot of the problems I would have chosen Python, Ruby, or even Clojure for, I could really see myself using Julia now.

To clarify -- you can read the documentation and code samples without having to register as an Apple Developer. You only need to do that to watch the tutorial videos or access the developer forums.
You seem unnaturally concerned with me understanding what Stalman is saying for how little you seem to be trying to understand what I am saying.

Im declining to continue as well, if you're going to throw around text walls full of straw men I see no value in continuing this conversation. Further the idea yield per word is very low in what you've writen here, so no I'm not going to go read your dissertations elsewhere.

Your strawmen so far in this thread:
"right to own slaves"
"value apple's cash balance as a social good"

Stalmans statement was about the good of gpl vs bsd, alternate rubrics are absolutely on topic.
PyCon US 2014/2015 and Passover

So you're saying that a majority of Americans like to lie, cheat, and steal their way to the top? That they prefer to have this criminal activity done for them, by their government, because after all everyone else does it.

Well you're certainly leading this non-American to conclude that your nation deserves, then, exactly what it gets. It ain't so special.
This is an impressively ignorant comment. Few hundred thousand people are standing on the street for weeks (months!) and what does the government do? Create new oppressive laws! How do you react to that when your peaceful demonstration is declared illegal?

Power-sharing, hah. Who cares about power-sharing with opposition? Opposition is weak and not respected, nobody will be satisfied if they would go with this proposition and they perfectly understand that. What would you do if you knew that if you accept premier minister seat, but people will still stand on the streets? They are afraid to accept that proposition and rightfully so.

Tyahnybok is as fascist as anybody else. His rhetorics is just rhetorics, and he's allied with Yatsenyuk right now, who is widely regarded being Jewish.

To add some reasons why you'd want to learn CUDA first: It turns out that simple things are a lot simpler, and take a lot less code, in Cuda than OpenCL. With Cuda, your kernel and host code will be close together in the same file. You'll need a /lot/ less boilerplate than are needed in OpenCL to accomplish even the most simple things. OpenCL exposes you to a lot more concepts, and a lot more extrinsic complexity, than Cuda. All this means just playing around a lot easier to do in Cuda.

Just take a look at some simple examples in both, and you'll quickly see what I mean. Even though I'm a fan of OpenCL because it is available on more platforms, Cuda is a lot better suited as a learning platform.
Why is this a hypothetical future scenario? AFAIK, Google is perfectly capable of doing that even now, with route finding/guidance on Google Maps.
