I scanned the link you posted, found it actually is confirming one of the arguments on the blog post, about the Piltdown man Hoax. And it says in the link you posted that science corrects errors. On the blog post link i posted, one of the arguments is that in the bible it is written the shape of the earth (circle)

It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth…
ISAIAH 40:22

One of the argument of the writer of the blog post, in his other articles
(e.g http://esoriano.wordpress.com/2007/05/25/from-dust-to-man-a-...). is that Science and the Bible doesn't contradict each other. He points out mistakes of other religions, for the wrongful claims of other religions for example that the earth is only 6000 year old or so.
I disagree with that section of the guidelines.
Since the majority of plastics are produced from petroleum, I wonder when it may become viable to mine the plastics that have ended up in landfill and the oceans - most of them are thermoplastics like polyethylene, which can be easily remelted and recycled.
We did. We ended up forcing people to stand-up
How Indian Version of US (like Freshdesk(Zen), Zoho(SF)) are highly successful? 
Is it just price or is there any other critical factor that makes these Indian versions a huge hit?

We do live in a world where this policy isn't necessary. the UK doesn't really have a ton of people who take creationism seriously like the US does. As the article mentions, the state mandates the teaching of evolution in schools, and bans the teaching of pseudoscience. That latter is actually pretty funny since UK educations are crammed with pseudoscience, but aside from a few high-profile cases creationism isn't really a problem there.
If you read the article it applies to all the schools that take government money.
The post is interesting, but was written in 2010. As you'd expect, some of the details have changed since then. For instance, garbage collected pointers have been moved out of the core language into a library.
"The rest of the article dealt with interpreting biblical statements to fit the current undeniable understanding of the universe.", (How do i correctly put a quote here in the replies?)

In Isaiah 40:22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth…

This is written before any scientist can confirm it. Thats not interpretation, its a clearly stated fact, "circle". And he points out if other religion gets it wrong.
The article wasn't just about the poor teachers. It also complained that students aren't getting value for their money.

But my main point is this: given that good competition exists, if colleges don't fix this quality issue, enrollment will drop and the situation for their teachers will keep getting worse.

(But professors at Coursera could get paid well for their efforts, if Coursera ends up with an effective business model.)
Really hard. Any hints?
I'm often sad and happy when reading this problem. Sad because it's the state of things, which sucks! And happy because the more that it's said the more chance there is that instructors will actually be paid well, and students can learn in an environment that doesn't treat their faculty as cheap throw away labor.

This addresses many of the issues that we are solving with our startup Oplerno.
I just don't understand it. What is it exactly that creationists argue against? What part of the theory of evolution do you disagree with? Is it the fact that there is a thing called DNA? That DNA determines traits of organisms? That DNA gets mixed up as organisms multiply? That some traits are better than others? That this process leads to evolution and natural selection?

I'm sure there are, within the field of evolutionary biology, numerous claims that will turn out to be false, as well as many phenomena not yet understood and explained.

But draw from this the conclusion that the theory of evolution is flawed and must be replaced with creationism, is absurd. The basic claims of the theory are well understood and have been confirmed in the real world over and over again.

Just stop the nonsense.

The 'arguments' you refer to are meant to support the idea that the theory of evolution is "senseless" (the author's own choice of words). Given that evolution is pretty much a scientific fact, the author clearly believes that the Bible contradicts science.

Now I'm going to be blunt: neither you nor the author have a sufficient understanding of the philosophy of science to be drawing any conclusions regarding science.
> This is written before any scientist can confirm it. Thats not interpretation, its a clearly stated fact, "circle". And he points out if other religion gets it wrong.

The Earth was considered to be a flat disc, so there's nothing of value there.
Please do some research before coming here with your bullshit.
It's a poorly argued essay.

The author starts from an assumption that the Bible is true and cherry-picks evidence in an attempt to support that, choosing the interpretation (or misinterpretation) that best fits into his pre-existing biases.

Not convincing unless one has already been indoctrinated into the belief that everything is 'God-given', rather than being more open-minded and inquisitive about the nature of the world.
The post is not very clear, but disqus already released a patch for it last night (included on version 2.76).
Which government though - we have three parts of the UK with different levels of devolution:

- The Northern Ireland Executive

- Welsh Government

- Scottish Government

[NB I was careful to get the name of the institutions correct - the Welsh and Scottish bodies are styled "governments"]

Edit: Mind you - I rather wish it did apply here in Scotland!
> Try getting a job at Google without a degree from MIT/Stanford.

I know a lot of people working at Google who don't even have degrees. There are over 5,000 Engineers in Google's American HQ. Thinking that everyone of them works there purely because of the brand name of whatever college they went to seems to be a rather self-limiting belief.
It does say that, but news organisations are notoriously poor at articulating the constitutional situation in the UK.

In this case, for example, the move has no effect on Scotland - the education system there is totally devolved, and AFAIK there's no concept of the "free school" or academy model which has been introduced in England and Wales. I'm not sure about the situation in Northern Ireland.

The Scottish Secular Society has been campaigning for a similar ban in Scotland - this will probably happen at some point, although my experience suggests that there's not as much of a problem there anyway.
Saying you can't measure value in dollars is kind of like saying you can't measure a distance with inches. Inches are also a kind of abstract concoction.

throwaway account.
The Target, Sony hackings were indeed unfortunate, but they are exceptions rather than the norm.

No, they're just the high-profile. Credit card hacks are happening constantly. A quick Google search shows crafts store Michaels (3 million CCs), White Lodging Services and Creathe Group (5 million CCs), all just announced since March. Last year, Adobe lost more than 100 million CCs.

There was $11 billion in CC fraud just in 2012!

And they can also be likened to the many exchanges and wallets that have been hacked in the bitcoin world.

Exchanges are not comparable, the only people who need to keep money there are traders.

As for wallets, that's true, but the difference is that there's only a single place with the data, instead of dozens or even hundreds of retailers each with a copy of a single CC. You'll probably never have a single wallet service with dozens of millions of accounts, such as Target, Sony and Adobe had.

Except in the latter case, consumers could not get their money back.

Anyone who thinks that comes for free is naive. You're paying, alright. Just indirectly.

---

This doesn't mean Bitcoins are the answer. For example, here in Portugal, we have had sane push-based payment mechanisms for years, and requiring credit cards is thankfully rare. But I've never seen such a service work internationally.
this is pretty cool but network requests and javascript support would make it even more crazier.

The first thought that comes to mind would be to try to nest the things... a browser inside a browser inside a browser.
All of that is true and is why an AirBnb costs more than renting an apartment. However, the cost difference between an AirBnb and a comparable hotel room is all regulation.

Without the regulation, it would be unprofitable to sublease a single apartment on AirBnb as you'd be unable to compete with people who can run a whole building at scale with dedicated maid service etc.
I know this isn't the point of the article, but surely if you were a time traveller you wouldn't bet on the stock market and risk being found out or have your cash confiscated? Surely you'd research a financial instrument that has existed for a long time before your now and go back and make a modest investment in it.

You could do a number of things that are more subtle to establish ways for the investment to not be noticed, by moving the money around, etc., but I expect that your main concern would be how to fly under the radar while compounding works.

In fact, perhaps people in the time-travellers world who want to invest into their future would be chiefly concerned that time travellers in their future are coming back and dominating all the investments without ever plowing the proceeds back into their present ..
I'm not sure education counts as an entirely political issue.

It's obviously an area that interests the HN community quite a lot - there's a bias towards science and engineering here, and everybody interested in those fields should find the teaching of creationism in a scientific context to be abhorrent. So I think it probably warrants discussion when the education system adopts policies which are actively hostile to the fields many of us are involved in (or in this case, when there's a push back against it).
It doesn't seem like much of an improvement on TeX's macro language, to me.
Not that I necessarily disagree with you, but I do want to add two points for consideration:

1. a lot of attention to its security

That doesn't help if bug reports rot in the tracker for years. The developers' attitude might have changed under the current media attention, but for how long will that last? I have yet to read a public statement by the OpenSSL team on how they plan to improve code quality and processes in the long run.

2. a not insignificant increase in much-needed financial support

Even before Heartbleed, OpenSSL might not have been as poor as often reported:
http://opensslfoundation.com/what.html
http://www.openbsd.org/papers/bsdcan14-libressl/mgp00008.htm...

Again, I am too much of an outsider here to judge, I just want to add these points for consideration.
Historian Jeffrey Burton Russell says the flat-earth error flourished most between 1870 and 1920, and had to do with the ideological setting created by struggles over evolution. Russell claims "with extraordinary [sic] few exceptions no educated person in the history of Western Civilization from the third century B.C. onward believed that the earth was flat

〉Is a typical adjunct professor qualified to teach in a public school? And related, would they want to if they could?

No more than you are. If they don't have an M.Ed. or B.Ed. they're unqualified. Assuming you have those you may also need to do a certain number of teaching hours post qualification to get a teaching licence/QTS.

The typical adjunct almost certainly doesn't want to teach public school. Even in the crappiest community college discipline issues are minimal compared to teaching in high school or middle school and you have way more autonomy than a public school teacher.

We do have problems related to religion in education - particularly around sectarianism:

The Earth is a sphere, not a circle. That's not a nitpick either. They thought the Earth was a flat disk back then.

Regardless. Even if you were dumbly granted that the Earth was a flat disk, how would that have any barring on the rest of the Bible's arguments?

Plato was right about a lot of things, but does that mean he was also right about the elemental nature of the universe? (Everything being created from the base elements of fire, earth, wind and water)

Your argument is bad even if it were correct.

I doubt this will extend to the North of Ireland. We have a disproportionately large evangelical Christian contingent that extends to the (current) largest party in the Executive, which would aim to block it. The education ministry is held by Sinn Féin, though, who would pass it.
Yes, you can interpret circle as spherical if you wanted to. You can also interpret circle as a circular disk. Was it against all conventional wisdom at the time of this writing to hold a circular view of the world? Were there no other culture that thought the world was circular? I am no anthropologist so I can't comment on that last question.

This is just another example of vague statements.
Furthermore, simply the act of publishing this paper likely caused our time line to shift to a point where future travelers are privvy to automated methods to detect their presence in the past.

>Google excessively downplays

Only Google Now is entirely and absolutely built upon a pervasive trawling of everything you do, and users love them for it. It knows every location you regularly visit (categorizing them into locations like work and home), and will give you updated traffic and routing guidance. It knows every flight you take, package you have coming, sports team you ever searched up, things you've recently watched or searched, and on and on. If you have multiple devices, it happily and openly shares all of this data between devices.

They hardly downplay anything given that this is the entire foundation of an entire, front of market product.
Huh. I didn't know any of that. Sorry for my dismissive reply.

They also have to spend a lot of money on computer labs, stadiums and gyms and such to boost the reputation and attractiveness of the school. It's much easier to judge how beautiful and modern a school is during a quick visit than it is to judge teaching quality.

Furthermore, 18-year-olds with guaranteed loans don't look at the price tags for those gimmicks rationally. When you're a kid with $300 in the bank the difference between a $50,000 loan and a $80,000 loan is so abstract it might as well not exist.

Combine those two factors and you get runaway spending and debt with little emphasis on teaching quality.

- Chinese proverb

Not true. Gregory Clark has an awesome book on this, The Son Also Rises. Social status has a heritability of 0.7ish in every society he measured it in. That's almost as high as the upper bound estimate for IQ. To give an idea of how powerful heritability of social status/roles is consider this: Norman surnames are over represented among the battlefield casualties of WW1 and 2 for the UK. Nearly a thousand years later a prospensity for organised violence lives on. And despite the Cultural Revolution and 30 years of Communism, the same surnames that were over represented among the Mandarins of Qing China are over represented among the upper echelons of today's Communist Party.

Our youth now love luxury.

Prime numbers in Go
Personally, I like cooking but for someone who wants to eat well/healthily but (strongly) wants it to "just happen," a Google-style company cafeteria actually seems like a pretty good benefit. Even eating out takes effort, especially if you're picky about what you'll eat even within the domain of quality/"healthy" (whatever your parameters are for that).
Don't hold your breath for dynamic modules. Basically it's the whole binary into a .so file for loading in Dalvik. The whole Go program is in that .so file.

Look at go-android (already working for quite a while).
Argh ! was that possible ? I actually stop playing with that with my last overscan "320 x +/- 240" attempt during which, for some reason, the screen beamer concentrated itself on exactly on scan line of the screen, rendering it super bright and emitting a super scary sound. My screen always had a darker line in the middle of it since that experiment :-( You could actually damage things by playing with hardware...

Swift came out less 2 weeks ago. As a beta announcement. So most certainly nobody comes from a "modern language background like Swift".

Plus, it's not like semicolons are any big deal. If they are in a language, you add them and move on. Dead simple to add, minimal noise, instantly familiar to most C-derivative programmers. The only comminity that regularly complaints about them are hipster (for lack of a better term) javascript programmers.
Well, semicolons have special meaning in Rust. In some contexts, like the last expression in a function or other expression block, if you don't use a semicolon it will return the value that the expression evaluates to. If you do use a semicolon, it won't return that expression's value. This is good, because it lets you avoid writing the "return" keyword all over the place, but it also lets you avoid returning a value with just a single character!
I've used it for five years now. I started with one of those free fifty or hundred dollars vouchers in the business magazines and I don't think I've ever paid any extra. I would periodically get emails from google saying if I do something they would add an extra fifty bucks credit.

My biggest three recommendations are:
-Keep cost low. I saw that some people were paying like $10 for a Justin Beiber click. Maybe if you are trying to sell some hair-gel to make you look like justin beiber buying a $.25 hair-gel keyword could be better from a cost perspective.
-Target location. My clickrate went up a bunch for a few months but didn't see an influx of users. I checked analytics and found a bunch of clicks were coming from some weird Japanese website. Some kind of fraud. It was using like 90% of my click payments. I disabled Japan and had no problems since.
-Be very careful accepting their auto-recommendations. I did all their recommendations and I think it would be bad for a serious company. It adds creepy shit like "watch grandma peeing" and my keywords aren't related to that at all. It also isn't accurate. It says "we estimate you'll get 150 new clicks every day from now for x dollars." and I'll get none or one.

Path acquired a company that deals only in business feedback and say they’re rolling out their tech - even if they don’t plainly say it - in the summer (check the bottom of the talk page).

Just because they’re dealing with private social networks now doesn’t mean they can’t tap into another market, especially now when the private social network thing doesn’t seem to be working out for them.

Original article: http://theconversation.com/no-thats-not-a-video-of-a-bee-res...
This is all public though. Given Path is a "private" social network then if businesses can resolve issues without getting into a public mess, talking to the customer in a private tunnel in a sense, it’s easier to diffuse situations.
A function that consisted of a giant switch statement, with each case consisting of another switch statement. Half of the sub-cases contained GOTO statements back to the top of the function.

Even worse... I wrote the code. It was 2am, I had been working for 18 hours straight to get everything ready for a demo the next morning.

Even worse than that... the code worked so management wouldn't let me change it. I tried my best to find an edge case it wouldn't handle but never could. So the code shipped.
It is an ahead-of-time-compiling run-time for Dalvik.

ART and Dalvik fill the same role, and are redundant with each other. They both take DEX (which I suppose you could call Dalvik bytecode, but now that it's runtime independent it should just be DEX bytecode) and ART ahead-of-time compiles it into native code, while Dalvik JIT compiles it into native code where possible.

That makes the difference sound greater than it really is. In reality ART is simply "rebuilding Dalvik from the ground up based upon everything that had been learned". It isn't 100% reliable right now because it's an incomplete runtime with some issues.
I went to a catholic school and we were still taught evolution, the Big Bang theory, etc. Even had compulsory religious education lessons (sane number per week as maths, english, science) and accompanying GCSE in Catholic Christianity and we were still taught evolution.

Many teachers even said that the Old Testament shouldn't be taken literally!

It's quite rare I think and I'm surprised there are schools still teaching it.
Ironically, what you're describing would be considered libertarianism by most people outside of the US.
