Before you follow up with a rant on being downvoted for merely having a different opinion: I only speak for myself but I don't mind you saying you're opposed to this proposal. Sure, it makes me not like you but if I downvoted everyone I didn't like it'd be a full-time job.

The reason (at least, for me) is the rather insensitive way in which you expressed your opinion. Take a few steps back and reconsider what you wrote on what is essentially a thread about a father losing his daughter.
infowars is not a reputable site. Isn't it the same site that argued the that the Boston marathon bombings were perpetrated by the US government as an excuse to search houses in Boston?
I find it interesting that not so long ago we were all discussing back doors Chinese manufacturers might be putting in our systems. Now the world is worried about what we put in our systems that we export.

It seems over time this will create some very interesting market dynamics and all sorts of "secure" clones of various technologies in different parts of the world.

This is the beginning of the real cyber wars.. When technology is so complicated you can only trust things you've built from scratch with your own two hands. And even then you might have created some massive back door that could be taken advantage of without you knowing.

Seems like the basis for a SciFi Movie.. :-)
Ok. It sounded pretty harsh over here.

Regarding markets: they are only the sum of the people that constitute them. Not all reasons or incentives for actions in a market have to be monetary. IOW: if something is of value to people, it will usually be done. If that doesn't happen, usually people say they want something, but do not really care that much.

You're right.
Talk to anybody who works for a company who offers meals. 12-14 hour days are typical at most. Not officially, of course, but that's the point. Raw ROI aside, the real benefit of offering meals is to foster the type of culture where the company is "home." You eat there. You exercise there. You socialize there. There's no need to have a life outside of work, so a lot of the employees don't have one. If you're always around your work and people you work with, chances are you'll spend most of your time thinking about and doing work. It's a way of getting 14 hour days out of people without them realizing it or complaining about it. In that way, it's absolutely a form of "mind control" (operand conditioning).

Most would say the above is harmless and it benefits the company, which benefits the employee, so why is it such a bad thing? It's bad because this type of culture makes it extra easy for engineers to burn out.
Interesting. I'm really interested in learning more about what you are experiencing. I have been developing this almost entirely in Firefox for OSX and haven't had an issue playing music.

Evidence is not on the side of ID. ID is not a scientific theory. It cannot be confirmed or falsified. It does not explain anything. Its premise is flawed (I don't know how X happened therefore Y must be true). Believe in ID if you want but don't confuse it with science.
I cleaned my keyboard and ended up swapping two keys because of their proximity to the keyboard when I reset their positions. A co-worker mistyped one of the keys, then backspaced, then typed it again and on several other places on the same line before stopping, looking confused, then staring at the keyboard asking "You swapped your keys?"

Indirect evidence, at least beyond the step of abiogensis, is overwhelming.
http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/comdesc/

There are probably no documented examples of macroevolution that would satisfy you because what you're looking for are systemic functional changes in non-microscopic species, in the wild, which then forms a stable population as a separate species. Such changes are the accumulation of minor changes (which have been observed), but are not observable in aggregate in modern times because there has not been enough time to observe them. And if such examples were given, you'd say that's just a variation of an existing species. The perspective required to judge a separate species in your view is longer than the time phylogeny has been rigorously undertaken by scientists. You are asking for the impossible and using that to declare a theory you don't like as invalid.

http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/faq-speciation.html

The GTE as you call it is not a finished theory. There have been significant changes in the past few decades (Lynn Margulis's work on endosymbiosis, for example), and there will be more changes in the future.

Intelligent Design is not based on evidence. It is not falsifiable. It is not a scientific theory. It is a quasi-theory-of-the-gaps based on the assumption that the progress of evolution is too small and too slow to have resulted in humans. It ignores the mountains of indirect evidence pointing to macroevolution. ID rejects the theory of evolution on the grounds that there is too little direct evidence, or that the probability (not that anyone can calculate it properly, but Creationists pretend they can) of evolution is too low, and posits an alternate "theory" of a designer, for which there is no evidence, nothing that allows calculating a probability of such a designer, and which completely ignores where the designer came from, typically by punting and declaring the designer God, and stating that God exists inherently, which is riddled with assumptions, and regardless of whether it's true says nothing about the nature of that God or what it might want or do.
Passion is a weird thing. If a prospective adjunct walks up to you and says "I'm passionate about teaching in higher education," or "I derive what I judge to be a large amount of utility from the prospect of teaching in higher education," is it bad resource allocation for him or her to enter that market, because you think that if they had had a different set of inputs (information) earlier in their life, they may have become passionate about something else, or had a different weighting on their utility function? Who are we to say our ideas for what they should do are better?

By all means, we as a society should discourage people who don't know what they want to do from taking post-graduate education as a default choice, and we should discourage people who don't derive utility from teaching from being in the adjunct labor market. But I think that the majority of people in the adjunct labor market would actually say quotes like the ones above - they're not just "kids" without agency or passion for the work. And they would probably find it demeaning for the top post here to deign to "help" them to choose "rewarding... career choices." I'm pretty sure they've already chosen.

If we're going to spread information, let's focus on spreading transparency about hiring practices at universities to the students and grant-givers who fund their budgets.

Should be a passion, when a developer go into "get by to pay the bills" mode he/she should get restructured to a new project or whatever else can spark their passion again.

Me? Passion. I work from 7 to 15 and code on hobby projects / play with new languages/frameworks almost daily after that.
Interesting, since at our teams we haven't found significantly slower dev times on Android in comparison to iOS. Usually Android devs lose time on compatibility issues, while iOS devs take more time with UI/UX design.

But I agree, finding a good Android developer here in central europe is rather hard. Also finding a good Android job is rather hard - payment offers are usually atrociously bad.

Because that is where compiler vendors spent the last 30 years doing compiler backend optimization.

When I started coding in the mid-80's C compilers were dog slow and no better than the alternatives (Pascal, PL/I, Modula-2, Cedar, ...).

In fact, game developers would talk about high level languages the same way they talk about current modern languages vs C/C++, and use nothing else other than Assembly.

However with UNIX spreading into the enterprise and bringing C along, it meant compiler vendors focused on optimizing for the language they were getting money for.

The main issue when people compare languages, is that they forget although the design drives the implementation, not all implementations are alike.
If they are on HN, they probably do it for passion. I doubt people who code only for work would be on HN on a saturday.

Actually the site used to be really useful. Somehow I forgot using it though. One day Ubuntu came out, the package manager (including dep mgmt) worked really well and there was a ton of great software in the repository.

But in the tar xzf ... ; ./configure && make && sudo make install time it was really nice.

I wished something like that existed for JS libraries.
And that's fine. The concept of functional programming (currying, etc) is still difficult to execute on a large team or in a long-running code base with developer turn over. That said, new programmers are born everyday and they are finding themselves in a world we didn't. A lot of kids these days love python so they get introduced to list comprehensions quickly. C++ or Java never gave you that right away.

When information is presented by a source that has not been consistently wrong about just about everything they've ever asserted, I'm sure he will.

There's no "information" there at all. There are claims by someone whose track record tends towards self-aggrandizing lies and unreliability.

Yes, in this specific case, application-specific compression codecs are better for the storage of video, but that doesn't mean that video is small and that you can afford to transcode 4-8 different copies for every single image that would be uploaded (avail resolutions * formats * single piece of content), as that requires both a lot of CPU and a lot of disk space. It also doesn't mean any person around you has the expertise to figure out how to do this in a semi-reasonable manner, because as stated, most people don't understand the concepts used in modern video storage. You also assume that either WebM or H.264 will be supported by the user's browser. I don't think this is entirely correct, and in any case, it may always change, at which point the demand on the individual site becomes that much worse.

I think the real solution is to automate this and allow the client to request on-the-fly transcodes to the formats the browser can support, similar to the way some UPnP servers work.

For the LNUX IPO, VA made F&F shares available to anyone who had contributed to Linux. They were fairly liberal in how they interpreted this, and I think the contribution I used to justify my purchase was the "-e" switch to chpasswd.

Anyway, as I recall I was able to purchase 140 shares at $30. The day of the IPO it hit $300+ and I was too stupid to sell (gotta get those long term capital gains rates..doh). I finally sold those shares years later at something like $1.

Oh well. You win some you lose some.
Ada was good enough, but it suffers from a bad reputation.

On the early days it was deemed too complex to implement, although I would say C++ became even more complex.

The companies that sold Ada compilers had customers with deep pockets, so Ada compilers were too expensive and required worksations to be used properly.

When affordable Ada compilers became available, not many cared about it.

Nowadays it has found its place where human lifes are at risk. Many avionic systems, train control systems, hospital devices are coded in Ada.

I do attend FOSDEM regularly and also get the feeling its use is increasing in Europe thanks to the security exploits in languages tainted by C compatibility.
I disagree that the tests are not obviously worth keeping. Having a large suite of regression tests is vital to stop bugs reappearing.

This type of research spawns other research and projects outside of academia by acting as a proof of concept, even if the original researchers stop reporting bugs.

For instance Csmith (and others) inspired Gosmith, which has found a number of bugs in the Go compiler. I hope that someone will use the obviously successful strategy of EMI to improve it further.

Points 0 and 1 are (mostly) correct, though I don't think point 2 really has any appreciable impact on the costs.

To clarify one thing: Columbia doesn't exactly "subsidize" Barnard - in fact, Barnard maintains its own independent endowment and board of trustees. Columbia and Barnard "partner" together to provide a number of joint services (for example, Columbia students majoring in theater take their classes at Barnard, and vice versa for some other departments, but many departments exist independently at each school). Barnard retains its own independent administration for most positions; there is very little sharing of administrative roles.

Student organizations are joint-funded through student fees, and almost all are open to both Columbia and Barnard students. In fact, there was some debate a few years back about the Barnard group overseeing student organizations not contributing its fair share towards Greek life[0], which was soon rectified. It is important that fund transfers between (e.g) Columbia College and Barnard are generally not considered internal transfers the way (e.g.) Columbia College and SEAS (the engineering school) would be.

This is not unlike the situation at certain other schools like Harvard and MIT, which sometimes allow cross-enrollment, or other schools which pool resources for student activities. The main difference is that Barnard professors are awarded tenure from Columbia University, not from Barnard (which cannot grant tenure independently).

That said, I agree that Barnard's expenses are not indicative, but that's more because they share many resources with another school (Columbia) and reap efficiencies that way, not because Columbia "subsidizes" their costs. Columbia saves a lot of money from these partnerships as well, and I doubt that they would keep the current setup if they didn't feel that they benefited from it financially as well.

That was an interesting article to read. I have many fond memories of the very early days of Freshmeat and my introduction to OSS and Linux. Freshmeat helped people share their products and was a great place to find new and upcoming projects to check out or even help on.

I feel like the late 90s was such a Wild West time for Linux. Linux is in a great spot now, best it has ever been, but for whatever reason the community just feels incredibly different for me now. It's probably just me aging.

I think it's probably too early to call Gfycat the "winner", and I don't necessarily see why there isn't room for multiple providers. There's no reason image sharing needs to be a "winner-take-all" game; in fact, it behooves everyone if there is a bit of diversity in the space. I understand that reddit (the organization, not only the community) likes to aggressively favor single image sharing vendors, and that sucks, but surely there are other places where such a site can find usage.
It's obviously true that, say, UC Berkley has more socialists per captia than the public at large.

WikiLeaks Publishes Secret Draft Text for the Trade in Services Agreement (TISA)
What is amazing me is all the ignorance that is so boldly expressed by lessig:
a democracy is not a republic since republic was designed to kill the democracy.

The biggest argument against republic being a possible implementation of democracy was made centuries ago by Pericles. He stated that any system favouring money will end in ploutocracy (having only the richer's interests being represented). Republic filter's out a lot of people from the game of being eligible. It selects on a random criteria that will always end to be money at the end.

Republic whatever its implementation can be always will result in a feedback loop based on resources: money, media time, «fame», knwoledge, wisdom... As a result whatever the rule you make it will always end up favouring in the representation the guys with money. (you need exposure of your argument to win, that always ends up in making a 1:1:1 relation of exposure=money=probability of winning)

Democracy's goal however is to have all the population being represented. So as you can see these 2 systems are de facto mutually exclusive.

The big question is «are the human naturally bad?»
If answer is yes: you choose republic to ensure only a subset of «capable citizens» are elected, but in the process you will mathematically converge towards a ploutocracy that will favor the more powerful/rich.
Else, if all citizen are considered equally «capable» you can pick up any random citizen for forming a government. Hence living in a republic is NOT possibly living in a democracy.

Republic is just an aristocracy: it ensures the representant of the people are selected in a small subset of the population that tends to have more patrimonial. subset of the population that will tend to pass law to ensure the conservatism in the society so that their money is secured.

It is not clear whether Russia is in fact planning to build its own top-notch (28 nm, 16 nm) semiconductor fabs. I assume they won't, at least not at first. Building "your own" ARM processors based on stock IP cores licensed from ARM Holdings and fabricating them on commercially available foundries in Europe or China looks like a reasonable way to escape the US-based Intel and AMD and should not be ridiculously expensive.

There are plenty of examples of humans being mean to each other in pretty much every setting. America's allergic reaction to public healthcare is an example of a systemic/cultural cause of significant unnecessary suffering[1].
