Err... yes? He's saying, don't disregard race & class. Considering all women vs. all men certainly does not eliminate race & class as impactful factors.
Google Now isn't perfect and does require a bit of tweaking. Assuming you're on Android, I'd try tapping on the three dot icon on cards to make sure they're set right (for instance, changing it so that Google knows you prefer driving to bicycling.) Also be sure to try the "wand" icon at the bottom for overall settings.

To make sure Google Now is up to date you can pull to refresh. For me it's never more than 20-30 minutes out of date.
It has NEVER created the same amount of jobs. It has always looked like that because new markets where liberalized, but technology creates less jobs than it destroys.

The upside of this is that it make many things very cheap. But it's not good news for most of us unless something change.
Yes, I know of the ACM. But why would I have expected a global scope 'Turing Award' to have anything to do with them?

Was Turing a member?
Not looking over your shoulder when turning will give you an instant fail in the driving test in Germany. In the US most states' drivers manuals recommend looking over your shoulder but most people don't do it. I tend to blame it on the fact that there exists no mandatory driver education and driving tests are almost impossible to fail.

When I paid several thousands of Euros for mandatory driving school in Germany I was very annoyed about the high price tag, but seeing on a daily basis how safety and efficiency of traffic is compromised when no system to educate drivers is not in place, I am glad I had a chance to go through it.
Thats simply not true. In some areas yes but those new areas tend to require fewer and fewer people.

What you have seen is new markets getting liberalized and that made it look like technology would just open up new industries that everyone could get into. In reality that is not the case.
What if it was a donation to Americans United or Planned Parenthood? There are people who earnestly believe that AU hates religions and-or religious people, or that PP hates traditional family structure. What if he donated to a group that was against the Affordable Heathcare Act? What if he donated to a group that was for it? There are many reasons why people may support different causes or groups, and a contribution in and of itself doesn't do anything to show that it is motivated by hate or fear. You need to look at the person's other actions in order to better determine that.
I have an AWS instance with Ubuntu Desktop installed and xrdesktop. Works pretty good as my dev machine and running Eclipse and everything.
I think this can be generalized to: Turning and/or crossing lanes results in more potentially dangerous situations than traveling within a traffic lane.
I forgive you. Apologies from me for my misunderstanding of the article and subject.

I took a big karma hit from it, but I'm a big boy. One of Odin's chosen warriors to fight Frost Giants, so it didn't hurt very much.
Ya, that pop up when the page loads is pretty annoying. Also, the first link in the post is broken (the url displayed is correct, but the underlying href is not).
Probably because their broke and/or barely making ends meat? That's my excuse anyways...
What a coincidence that sites using it, including the beelinereader.com site itself, use super-tight line-height.

Thing is, line-height helps with the same issue (but without the weird colors), so if they'd fix that, the funky colors aren't as useful anymore.

But I guess we gotta save the trees from those printing their web pages or something.

Whatever one may prefer, I see they offer a plugin, which is a better way to use this tech, not by random sites forcing it on us.
For it to be really useful, you have to let Google know a bit more about yourself: you have to enable Search History and Location History. I think there's a separate option for access to your Gmail, too. Assuming you enable all this, you can get things like reminders for flights and shipments, it can remind you of topics you were searching for earlier, offer driving directions for places you've previously searched, movie times for movie trailers you've watched on Youtube, suggestions for nearby restaurants you might be interested in, etc.

I find it useful, but I'm completely in the Google ecosystem and don't have a problem with Google exposing all the data it knows about me.
... for $5 a pop.
From a certain viewpoint that's not even the problem. The problem is when a person doesn't gain value in other areas or have the opportunity to gain value in other areas, either on their own initiative or through the labor directly.

Treat every job like that job's on the endangered jobs list and try not to put all your eggs in one basket.

Now, I'd personally have a problem if you didn't add the opportunity portion I mentioned above b/c then it just turns into another "bootstrap" fallacy.
I've read enough Tyler Cowen to be relatively confident that it's a positive claim, not a normative one. He isn't judging them, or at least he isn't expressing that judgement. He's simply saying here thinks there's a significant number of young men ill-suited to the available jobs. Now, perhaps you think he's mistaken about that, which is fine, but just calling it sexist doesn't establish that.
I believe liability must rest on he who makes the decision.

Will the following work?

1. An executive must carry some personal liability for the decisions he took during his tenure.

2. If the decision was made with the knowledge of the board of directors, directors too, carry some liability.

3. If you are an investor, you carry the same percentage of liability as stock. E.g. if you own 10% stock, you are directly liable for $1 million of a $10 million liability (financial or legal).

4. Investors are expected to do their due diligence before buying stock in a company that may be exposed to liability.

5. Investor liability for decisions made in accordance with corporate policies is unlimited.
Same thing with Python and PHP.
...forcing salaries down way below what is possible to live off.

This is an exaggeration. It may be forcing salaries below the level necessary to support US middle class consumption levels, but there is a huge gap between that and "possible to live off". Where I live, even the middle class don't live in homes with 2 rooms/person or own a car (unlike poor people in the US).

A full time minimum wage job pays $14,500/year. GDP/capita (adjusted for purchasing power) in Bulgaria is $14,100. In Brazil it's $11,700, here in India it's $3800, and in Haiti it's $1200. Yet people continue to live.

(These numbers are adjusted for purchasing power, so don't argue that it's cheaper to live over here.)

A just so story for you.

Historically male primates of the genus homo have been hunters, often operating on terrain with features at various depths passed through on the go. To construct an accurate representation of the the natural world and the relative distances of objects it would thus be beneficial for the male retina to spend more resources processing depth cues that arise from motion parallax compared to women for who survival may not have depended on being able to accurately discern distances of game moving through brush.

This story is just that, a story. But the biology underlying sexual dimorphism of the visual system is definitely real and the fact that a sex hormone is involved may not be surprising since if, for example, an androgen receptor is expressed in a certain cell type in the retina and that cell type is in the circuit for parallax depth perception and that receptor enhances the response to differential parallax by say, depolarizing that specific cell type, then only males will have that enhancement.
That section on linked lists (cons in c and sml) was really nice. I don't think I've ever seen such clear, plain c for working with singly linked lists (which even checks the return code for malloc!).

I actually had to look up what K&R had on it, and there's a section on tree-structures -- but it ends up being cluttered (although that's justifiable in K&R -- the focus isn't just on simple example code).

Disclaimer: I don't actually know C :-)

I've played with implementing both SSE and websockets on embedded hardware, and SSE is nice because of the simplicity--no need to do a handshake or other setup like with websockets. If you're primarily sending data from the server to the browser, SSE + a simple REST api (to send data back from browser to server) is a pretty nice combo.
What most people in North America seem to conveniently forget about this rule: You have to come to a stop first.

Another piece of trivia about free right: In all of New York the free right is allowed as long as no "No turn on red" is posted. In New York City, however, the free right is prohibited unless a "right turn on red" sign is posted.

In Germany the NYC-style free right exists, with a small sign showing a green arrow on black background indicates that free right is allowed.
Spoken like someone who's never had a particular software stack and methodology forced on him, and then been hamstrung by it. The genius of the friend I mentioned is evident, as much as anywhere else, in the way he has placed himself beyond the reach of the sort of mediocre-to-incompetent management under whose yoke web developers so often find themselves struggling.
Of course we aren't close to having no work worth doing - for volunteers. The hard part is coming up with something that people will pay for. This seems to be tricky enough that most startups fail at it.

The market isn't a magic wand. If buyers and sellers can't agree on terms then the sale won't happen, and the labor market is particularly illiquid. It's not at all clear that businesses want to hire large numbers of unemployed people under any reasonable terms.

Could you live on 14.500 a year? That 1400USD a month. If you have kids good luck with that.

50 years ago GM was the biggest job creator in the country. Average hourly wage was quite good to live off.

Today Wallmart is the biggest and many workers need extra help from the goverment to even make it.

The problem is very real.
How about "Google Now now available for Chrome"?

(I am kidding. That would actually make more sense, though.)
This is interesting. The article was extremely insightful regarding research into where the problems were and what needed more research.

> The problem is that if your audience is potentially "all humans", the ratio is 50/50.

This is true but the question is not so much whether certain roles are primarily male or female but whether you have just enough of both and a lot of participation on various ways from both.

I.e. if your engineering team is 90% male but your testing team is 90% female I don't think you are going to have a feedback problem.....

Regarding intent and labels like "sexist" (or "racist" etc). I think you are right on. I think we do this because it allows an assignment of personal responsibility, while if we accept that intent is really not that relevant, then we have to accept that we all have a hand to play in problems.
I've set up a cron job to automatically open the app at 7 in the morning every day (and to minimise all other apps would be nice but I can't find anything to do it). I'll also set up the same functionality on my iPhone (jailbroken devices can do this with Activator).

Maybe this would work for you.

Yep, our account was also just moved over to 2 day transfers: http://cl.ly/UpnZ

Thinking it might be volume-related --- noticed that Shopify Payments (powered by Stripe) also switched from 7-day transfers to 2-day transfers not too long ago.
Oh, I think you've taken my comment to be far more extreme than intended. I don't take all spiders outside. But, I live in Texas in a tiny house (a motorhome). Sometimes, this place just ain't big enough for the two of us, and the wolf spider or other big crawly needs to go outside. The ones that roam around too much also get taken outside. If they stay in their corner, we get along just fine. I'm just saying that when I have a choice between taking a "pest" outside or killing it, I take it outside unharmed.

Also, one time I came back to my motorhome after staying with family for a couple of weeks and found thousands of baby spiders crawling around on and hanging from the ceiling (and on my face and in my hair). That was another instance where it was me or the spiders, and the spiders got swept outside. I feel no remorse over this decision.

Turing's Curse – John Graham-Cumming (2013)
Thanks for the hints. Seems like my Google Now works as expected then, but my lifestyle isn't (yet) supported...

The fact that it recommends I bicycle from Alcatraz is after informing it (through the icon with the three dots) I usually cycle, so that works right, sort of. My commute is bicycle+train, which unfortunately is not a combination of travel modes supported by Google Maps.
Your example isn't really a good one because your friend isn't a service provider, she's an uploading user to a service provider.

By "gallery" I mean a physical art gallery, so she would be a service provider in my example. In the analogy, she would be YouTube, "I" would be a copyright holder, and "you" would be a YouTube user.

The point of implementing a proper DMCA notice and takedown system is to take advantage of the DMCA safe harbors.

The safe harbor, as I understand it, protects service providers from copyright holders and users, as long as the service providers register a copyright agent and comply with DMCA notices. Nobody's saying that YouTube doesn't have a registered agent and comply with DMCA notices. Further, there is almost certainly a point in YouTube's ToS that exempts them from liability for taking down content regardless of whether it was due to a DMCA notice.

What I'm saying is that YouTube has an additional, private, voluntary takedown process, that doesn't invoke the DMCA at all (and thus no penalty of perjury for falsely claiming to represent the copyright holder). Having this additional process wouldn't jeopardize their safe harbor eligibility, as I understand it.

I don't like this situation. It gives enormous power to large copyright holders, with significant collateral damage to independent creators like the Blender Foundation. I just don't see how a case made under 512(f) will turn the tide.

----------------

Maybe I'm misreading the DMCA as a layperson, but it looks like there are two penalties for false DMCA takedowns, neither of which would apply to a voluntary, non-DMCA takedown process: (1) perjury for falsely claiming to represent a copyright holder, and (2) liability under 512(f)(1) for "knowingly materially" misrepresenting a claim.

Perjury for falsely claiming to represent a copyright holder comes from this section (apologies if my citation notation is incorrect):

501(c)(3)(A)(vi) A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

----------------

Liability for damages for a "knowing material" misrepresentation comes from this section (emphasis mine):

512(f) Misrepresentations.— Any person who knowingly materially misrepresents under this section—

(1) that material or activity is infringing, or

(2) that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification,

shall be liable for any damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, by any copyright owner or copyright owner’s authorized licensee, or by a service provider, who is injured by such misrepresentation, as the result of the service provider relying upon such misrepresentation in removing or disabling access to the material or activity claimed to be infringing, or in replacing the removed material or ceasing to disable access to it.

Well, they should go buy their own motorhome. If they cause me trouble (like landing on my face, crawling across my food, hanging out on my pillow or toilet seat, etc.), they get a ride to the outside. Them's the rules.
I haven't really seen the data to back up what you're saying and I base my comments only on the generalized fact that the automation didn't just drop out of the sky - it took some labor to get it there, it takes some labor to maintain it as the current status quo, and there's almost certainly some labor already working to replace it.

It's all part of a spectrum where specific jobs die but "jobs for people to have" more or less stay the same, if they don't actually increase.

Yes, you are SO enlightened.

Gosh I hate when this happens. An American goes overseas, and suddenly thinks they've discovered nirvana and that everyone back home is now inferior. There's gotta be a name for this syndrome.

Every culture has good stuff and bad stuff. There's no need to scream in all caps about the USA because people in a major city center recommend one doesn't leave $3k worth of gear unattended in a busy coffee shop.
Sexism isn't the biggest problem with that phrase.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_attribution_error

There's arguably some sexism too, but speculating that there's a class of young people that finds subordination difficult and even that there might be more young men in this category than young women strikes me as reasonable. Sexism would be looking at a young man and assuming that he's unlikely to make a good subordinate based on his gender.
But multiplayer RTS games are notoriously easy to cheat in. Cheating is extremely common in Starcraft 2, and as far as I know, the only way Blizzard combats it is to detect unauthorized behavior and ban those accounts.
I mean that, as I recall reading, an automated takedown process doesn't meet the bar of "knowingly materially" misrepresenting a claim. "Knowingly materially" is the pair of adverbs used in 512(f) (http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/512#f), and if I recall correctly, is a very high threshold.
Can commented-out code be valuable documentation?
it doesn't automatically follow that "finding ways to build our systems around fewer and fewer people" in a SPECIFIC area = a system for fewer and fewer people. What if the journey to automation elevated job positions to something far greater than if the job had remained off-limits to automation?
Surprised no one's mentioned Bublecam: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bublcam/bublcam-360o-ca....

Everything you say is true; but in some cases, you want to know that things have disconnected and data won't be coming through even if it should. ssh -L (with ClientAliveInterval / ServerAliveInterval) does that. Also, autossh is good at keeping connections up.

(But for the ultra paranoid - spiped sounds like a better deal)
I am not sure what you mean. The US is one of best countries in the world for job creation and it is netto loosing jobs.

Those that are still around outside the Wallstreet/Tech scene are becoming less and less valuable wallmart being a great example.

Everything else is just a poor attempt to rationalize our way out of that reality.
I think men in the industry would be more willing to default to your more rational, and also more charitable, approach, had they not so much experience of feminists telling them they are evil. After a while, anyone will get gun-shy.

Exaggeratio ad absurdum is the besetting vice of identity politics. Nuance ceases to matter, and then to exist, because everyone involved comes to feel that his existence as a human being is on the line. For those who make such belief their bread and butter, that's great! For everyone else, it gets hard to take after a while.
It's such a simple and useful idea.

But being tied to what's in OpenSSL is scary.

You can easily live off 1400 USD per month. In India, they manage to get by for about 3000 USD (PPP) per year. Americans could, too. They’d hate it, but they could.

> Is it just me, or is this kind of OK?

For some values of "kind of." I would even go so far as to say on a practical matter it may be worse than intentional discrimination.

Look, the problem is really one of intent and how well something matches intent. If you want a combat flight simulator that you are marketing primarily to young men, that's not necessarily a problem. If young women are less interested in your product, you need to serve those who are going to actually buy it.

But this works the other way too. If your target market is "everybody" then inducing motion sickness in 52% of your target demographic is not "ok" from a marketing perspective anymore than inducing seizures in the photosensitive would be. You don't want possible customers to get sick from your product. So on that level it isn't "kind of" ok.

This is an area where I actually think the less intentional discrimination, the more problematic it becomes.
It would be nice if the article under discussion had anything to do with the technology that goes into the Rift, but, as I detail elsewhere in this thread and in an as-yet-unmoderated comment on boyd's blog, it appears to be based on research done in 2000 and not updated to account for differences in 3D rendering between then and now, e.g. the modern ubiquity of normal mapping, whose absence is called out as a problem in the 2000 paper on which the article is based. The article nowhere states that any of its content has basis in research carried out with modern rendering/VR technology, but the implication is so skilfully done that I'm finding it very difficult to avoid the conclusion that the article is deliberately deceptive for the sake of firing up controversy.

You are grabbing for straws now.

The whole point of technology is to increase production output. To do more with less.

This might open up new areas but it doesn't follow at all either. And unless you can point to something like the semiconductor revolution it's hard to see what you are referring to.
Wouldn't he have some type of notion that something went wrong during his update?

There is a way of injecting your code into an existing executable so that the executable still works like it did before. Basically your code gets called first and than the original program entry point gets called.
