This was my favorite talk from PyData SV 2014 http://pydata.org/sv2014/abstracts/#194
If that isn't derivable from the guidelines' call for civility, nothing is.
You should read the book "The Accidental Billionaires", the screenplay is based on that book.

As with every movie, they had to shortening some scenes like "hacking" houses websites and coding Facemesh in one night (in the book and in reality it was not that case - it took several days/nights).

And the book is missing a side-"story" too. There was already a "Face Book" kind of website called houseSYSTEM. And Zuckerberg tricked this guy: http://www.aarongreenspan.com/writing/essay.html?id=80

So the reality is even wilder than the movie.

Yes but it doesn't understand. Let's say I gave it something more complex like, "let's call plus one meow. What is meow of two?" I bet most third graders would get this correct.
Good question. I enjoyed this exploration of that question (using cellular automata instead of crabs):

Muhlestein, M. (2013). Counterfactuals, Computation, and Consciousness. Cognitive Computation, 5(1), 99-105.

Yes, they can. And they actually do, in a sense. There was recently a thread on HN about lots of ants behaving as a one intelligent entity although a single ant is very dumb: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7658551

The discussion 'evolved' into evolution (of systems). It's strange that this paper discusses computation also as evolution, but I'm not sure if they mean the same thing. I also suggested that human brain computes (or thinks) by 'simulating' evolution. In this case, your individual brain cells would be like those bunch of crabs, just doing their business and producing thoughts as a whole.
Only tangential to the ethics of immortality, more about possible consequences of immortality for a given individual is "All Men Are Mortal" by Simone de Beauvoir, highly recommended.
This is nothing new. "Publishers" get in all the time with less than spectacular backgrounds. Google provides a method for reporting sources that shouldn't be there.

I agree, there was an "other" section on the complaint form for him to use.
Nice-do you know if videos are or will be released of the talks? Would like to see this one so there's more context on what's being shown. A little tough to follow what are probably the raw materials for the talk.
No. 0->100 is not easy (I know from my own experience), but it is a realistic goal and you can get there slowly. Adding even one user every weekday, you will get to 100 in six months. But, and this is a big one, if you support your users well, you will get referrals -- which is the best way to grow.

My whole point is to go for recurring revenues, and, aim for slow, sustainable growth. If you want to go for 10K users, you will need funding. And, that will be a much, much riskier path.
Yes. Anything that doesn't use a password field is normally a giant hack anyway.

What is the story behind that?
I didn't mean to imply that being on the far left or being made up meant 'worse' in any way. Quite the opposite in fact - I think that if someone can create a word or phrase that becomes normal in everyday usages, it's a sign of... something. Maybe influence, maybe genius. Like you said, Shakespeare first used words that we consider common.

I have no idea at what point a word becomes 'established' though.
The notation is interesting, but the "bird song "metaphor" makes me suspect that this paper inspired the misguided era of monad metaphors that followed.

Should be done outside the normal blood donor system. There's not that much donor blood around, so it would be unethical to use it. Not a practical problem, but it would look and feel bad.

Anyway, yes, why not try this on humans? Sounds perfectly reasonable.
The Yao pronunciation was introduced to me as the "military" one in Taiwan. Kind of like you would use "foxtrot" to spell out F on the phone.

The problem you cite only exists if you explicitly want to estimate the underlying vocabulary of the writer. However, as a description of this particular corpus the vocabulary sizes are perfectly valid and exact rather than an estimate.
I'd totally use this if it added features that didn't S3 didn't support - which shouldn't be aproblem since S3 isn't a standard anyway. Two major features that come to mind: Batch operations and querying objects by metadata. Right now if I want to rename 100 keys to 100 other keys without making 100 requests I'm kind of out of luck - which makes S3 useless for having a data store back-end for say, a document management solution, unless you flatten the file system (which is what I end up doing)
Most of the parabiotic procedures on mice had two organisms almost always connected to each other. Not sure if the case you described above is feasible in near future.

To my mind, the big trend is toward polygot programming, which perhaps reveals what a transitional and perhaps revolutionary time this is in the world of computer programming. This paragraph struck me as the most important:

"Almost every language shows a long-term downhill trend... My initial guess is that users of languages below the top 12 are growing in share to counterbalance the decreases here. It’s also possible that GitHub may leave some users unclassified, which would tend to lower everything else’s proportion over time."
I don't disagree that there is a lot of catering to the lowest common denominator in the music industry, both in pop music and the "best songs of all time" lists.

However, I think the parent post has a point. (Now, I'm having a hard time figuring out how to effectively articulate it) The point of music isn't necessarily an insight. Listening to music is an experience, which is about how it makes you feel. Sometimes part of that is giving an insight, sometimes it isn't. Often, it is about combining an idea or concept with a performance or presentation; the idea/concept doesn't need to be insightful to be effective.
Scientists do a lot of grotesque things to mice, rats and insects all the time. We have to test stuff on someone, and humans are not really acceptable, even with consent.
they'll just sit there tapping the first picture until they reach their target. You'll get lots of votes, they'll just be useless.

Some people would do this, but as long as you randomize the order of the pictures their data won't alter the winner since each image would get an even number of bad votes.

You can also detect when people are doing this and start throwing out their votes, or just don't even prompt them to vote and show them ads instead. I'm pretty sure this would be a minority, since most people would understand that they want to get real results for their own photos, so they need to give real votes to other photos.

Scott McNealy (of former Sun Microsystems) and Miguel de Icaza (creator of GNOME, and Mono) supervised the movie. Several computer scenes involve Gnome Linux desktop, realistic IP address input sequences (though non-public IPs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reserved_IP_addresses ) and an infamous HTML code intro.

There seems to be a lot of text editors being showcased on HN at the moment. While the engineering involved in each of them is remarkable, and way beyond what I could imagine accomplishing, I've yet to be convinced that any problems are being solved. Nothing I've seen has yet convinced me to move away from my emacs/git based workflow.

Maybe they are simply CV showcases, in which case this is an impressive piece of software, and congratulations to the developer, but you've yet to convince me to move away from 1970s technology.
I've thought this for a while now. The only reasonable definition of computation is in relation to other systems. It's good to see this popping up other places than inside my head :)
You should check out microsoft.com in the whois database. It is also rather silly.

Does the scientific computing community count as hobbyist? It seems to be a significant niche for python these days, largely due to numpy.

Also, as another user noted, hobbyist/enterprise is a false dichotomy. There's shedloads of non-hobbyist code that also non-enterprise.

It's nice and simple, I like it. I can't see leaving Notepad++ on Windows or Geany on GNU/Linux for it, but I do like the concept. I think it would be good for someone just learning to use HTML, as they can see immediate results.
First I read all the comments already posted here. Then I read the fine article from beginning to end. This is a good article, and well worth a read. I am old enough to remember the kind of reporting that was done about Japan in the English-language press back when the book Japan as Number One[1] had just been published. Japan used to look unstoppable in the same way that China looks world-beating to many people now. But Japan's "lost decade" of minimal economic growth and declining soft power in the world has lasted a lot longer than just one decade.

Japan in the 1980s already had significant advantages that China still lacks in the 2010s. First of all, it had a political system with actual elections that weren't wholly rigged. (The political system in Japan has opened up more since then, but even thirty years ago it was well ahead of where China's political system is now.) Second, Japan had a free press and unfettered access to foreign reporters and foreign news media for decades by the 1980s. China still doesn't have either of those information channels for correcting problems in sufficient degree. Third, although primary education in China is quite good in urban areas, good primary education in China is still not as pervasive nationwide as it was in Japan by the 1980s. That's illustrated in part by how few people in China (compared to Japan) are even conversant in the national language. Barely more than half the population is conversant in standard Mandarin Chinese.[2]

China is at risk. The "socialism with Chinese characteristics" (中国特色社会主义) economic policy it officially now has cannot be sustained. It looks like it has been growing rapidly in recent years for some of the same reasons that Spain looked like it was growing rapidly a decade ago--a housing bubble. The inevitable correction that has to happen in the investment markets in China may not bring about a recession, but it can't help but bring about a change of investment priorities that may make China look less amazing for a while. China will really rise to world prominence when its common people enjoy free and fair elections, a free press, and good educational opportunity all over the country, something I hope they experience sooner rather than later. Meanwhile, I'm actually more optimistic about India during my lifetime.

For example, something that should be 15-2 votes, ends up being 95-82.

It's all in the presentation. If you just highlight one image and stamp "WINNER" next to it, most people won't even look at the numbers. Crowning a winner is more important than being scientifically accurate.
Some thoughts on security after 10 years of qmail 1.0 (2007)
A dash of social hedonism/utilitarianism and your fears are laid to rest.
We're a 5 person team at Ayalo (http://ayalo.co) with one junior dev; we've had trouble making it work so I'll share some reasons why:

- Lack of confidence in his deliverables. The worst is being told its done because it works on local and for small data sets (he's in charge of internal analytics) and then when we try it on production with a months worth of data it crashes.

- Having to constantly remind him of the 80-20 rule. 80% of effects are due to 20% of the functionality and having to guide him to focus on that 20%. You want to be able to leave a dev working for two days, even a week, without worrying that he's accidentally inflating the scope of something. More experienced devs have a better sense of the importance and time-scale of the things they're working on.

- He's often so overwhelmed with having to learn things he doesn't know, or debug things he doesn't fully understand, that he doesn't have time or energy to think about ways in which to improve the company or product outside of his job description.

- Junior devs often need constant check-ins because they're sometimes ashamed of having to ask. This happens no matter how many times you reinforce that asking questions is the only way to learn, its human nature to a certain extent.

My perspective, from a bootstrapped pre-seed post-launch startup, is that early on you want people that can drive forward with you, that can push you, not people you have to pull along with you. We've kept our junior dev because he's motivated, passionate, and has potential. But I'd be lying if I said he doesn't hinder our speed
Why is that relevant? Anyway, computers are already good at syntax macro expansion. I feel like that's even less "understanding."

Well, many people seem to be suggesting (including the researchers themselves) that there is a possibility of the older person dying of insta-cancer after receiving the blood because their cancerous stem cells would immediately be told to start multiplying.

This could be what we consider "cloaking" in the ad industry. Ads containing legitimate content are submitted, but when a user clicks it, a risk assessment is done based on the users information (ip/location/js enabled/saving cookies etc).

If it's determined that you're unlikely to be a crawler or a person affiliated with the host site (google employee in this case) you're served a "Blackhat" ad, which is generally worded much more aggressively and against the TOS. High risk users are redirected to "Whitehat" pages which follow the TOS and generally don't attempt to actually convert a user. These high risk users are considered dead clicks.

A few years ago this was an insanely profitable industry on Google Adsense, but they've cracked down a lot. The new major space for this type of advertising? Facebook.
After I realized the recursion inside my conclusion, I jumped out for a while and asked you another question: Is the conclusion from that video/talk a tautology or a pure belief? The author just described what he experienced and didn't talk about the relationship between meanings and his intuition. He believed meanings do not come from what he feels (the artifical Chinese characters), and didn't say why his intuition let him hold that belief for natural things. He just know his own feelings.

This remind me of some words from Buddhists -- Everyone can not see the truth through other people's eyes.

Agree. I was surprised not to see DOOM as well. Another MC I think would score pretty highly is Chino XL.
I also think it's interesting how TV and movies portray caring for gunshot victims.

In the movies, the first priority is to remove the bullet from the victim, usually in a dramatic and agonizing way. Once the bullet is removed, the victim is miraculously cured.

In reality, the first priority is to stop the bleeding. Most of the time, doctors won't even attempt to remove the bullet. The bullets are sterilized from the explosion, and you'll generally do more harm than good by trying to remove it.

So the Sun is big and fusion occurs at a low rate. Good thing, otherwise we wouldn't exist. The sun is contained by gravity and we are using magnetic containment. Gravity is the weakest force. All true.

I am not sure I fully understand your argument. Some energy storage, exploitation and transport mechanisms are as easy as falling off a log. That a continuous fission reaction occurred in 1942. Yeah using a pile of bricks. It also has been occurring naturally in Africa, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_nuclear_fission_reactor what does that have to do with limitless energy that will flow from a fusion reactor? How much has been spent on the oil economy in total? That number has no bearing on my argument either.

I am not sure what

| billions to trillions in research that would have to be spent simply researching useful fusion technologies

actually means. Sounds like throwing up the dangerous boogie-man of unknown costs. The US has spent ~30B in total on fusion research. And on ITER we will be contributing only 9% of the total, the same amounts btw as South Korea and India. Yes, further fusion research will cost billions, not trillions. I don't dispute that further research, it simply isn't that much money. At this point the billions is beneficial just for the science and engineering advancements.

Back to my original point is that these billion dollar numbers are paltry, that the perceived risks and dangers posed by Iraq and Afghanistan are also inconsequential compared to total collapse of the worlds oceans, drought and farm land loss by global warming. We wasted trillions of dollars, a small part of which could have funded human race saving science.

Of course population effects carbon output. The poorest 3 billion people on the planet will pay the price of the carbon output from the top 1 billion. It is the 1% of the western countries that will survive while the rest of humanity dies in trash heap of civilization.

We don't simply have an energy problem. That could easily solved with existing renewable tech. We have massive carbon problem that most likely can only be reversed by the massive power output of fusion power.
