I guess it's a good advice. Somehow similar to unit-testing: don't test or do outsource things that don't need to be of high quality.
You could probably extend Racket's pattern matching to do the same stuff. It can already match against structurs you define yourself, but I don't think it can do things like "match anything with this pattern in this recursive data structure" unless "recursive data structure" is a list, and even then I don't think it will do any kind of complete search of the list other than the top-level elements (not sure though).
"distributed 100 times more unequally" doesn't mean anything, certainly not anything that implies anything about "the worst off". You need to characterize what happens to that specific part of the distribution if you want to estimate the impact.

In particular it is possible to reduce the shares of the top N%, and the bottom N%, increasing the share of the middle, and have many measures of inequality go down.

Metamorphic testing means taking an existing test case and mutating it into a new test case that produces the same answer (or at least an answer that can be easily predicted).

Property-based testing is, as far as I can tell, a meaningless term since all testing is property-based.

Not quite. They're raising campaign money to try and influence five upcoming congressional elections in favor of campaign finance reform. To do that, I imagine they'll run ads in key districts in support of whichever candidate or another will agree to support and advance reform, or at least to unseat an incumbent who's been historically against reform. It's definitely ironic! They even admit as much towards the bottom of the main page; it's just the way politics are in the US raising and spending this much money is pretty much a necessity for the goals they have.

"I have been made aware of the proposal to add the named color beccapurple (equivalent to #663399) to the CSS specification [...] I did set one condition: that if the proposal is accepted, the official name be rebeccapurple. A couple of weeks before she died, Rebecca informed us that she was about to be a big girl of six years old, and Becca was a baby name. Once she turned six, she wanted everyone (not just me) to call her Rebecca, not Becca.

She made it to six. For almost twelve hours, she was six. So Rebecca it is and must be."

I never thought a tweak note for a minor proposed CSS standard would make me cry this hard.

Most people are already aware that being wealthy is a good way to make capitalism work in your favor and that saving money is a good way to become wealthy over time.

It's not a coincidence that most people aren't in a position to save enough to live off their capital.
The issue in the article isn't that there will be novice programmers or lawyers, it's that if you can even become a novice programmer or lawyer, you're supposedly already in "Extremistan". The premise is well-contained in the quote early on that "most people are like horses" and can't operate in fields that require primarily intellectual labor.

I'm not sure that I agree with this premise, but it means that it's not an issue of crowding out newbies, just an expression of the popular sentiment that "[insert highly-paid professional position here] are really, really smart" and that to even attempt to become a highly-paid professional x is out of the reach of most people.
Yes. You just did (more or less).

Someone even could _write_ a "safe" operating system. That's what NASA did (they worried about bugs, not security, but that doesn't matter much) for the space shuttle. http://www.atarimagazines.com/compute/issue132/92_Space_shut...:

"Since the computers are essential, NASA decided to use five identical computers in operation for critical periods like launch and landing. Four of the units operate together, and if one has a different result, it's presumed wrong and is "outvoted." The fifth computer is programmed separately from the other four and acts as a backup to prevent possible generic software errors from causing problems."

And, of course, for that application, you cannot have the "won't get a meaningful result" outcome often. That's why they made the effort to make that unlikely (http://www.fastcompany.com/28121/they-write-right-stuff)

Becuase of the extra effort needed, the resulting OS may lack features, though.

> By saying that software isn't patentable because it is simply a collection of mathematical algorithms, you aren't distinguishing between the algorithms that describe the thing and the thing itself.

With software there is no separate thing. The software is the only thing. If there was a separate thing you could identify it.

You can clearly distinguish between, for example, a physics text describing how bricks are affected by gravity, and an actual brick that you can pick up in your hand. The physics text is not patentable completely regardless of how creative it is or how much work went into producing it. The brick may be patentable, e.g. if you make it out of some novel weather-resistant material.

The problem with software patents is that people making texts and not bricks are being accused of infringing patents.

> But in reality, much like the photograph, there is a great deal more to software than that; there is thought and creativity involved in "collecting" those algorithms.

Now you're talking about how the software is produced. The end product is still an algorithm. Are you suggesting that if I write a computer program that can produce other computer programs, the programs produced that way should not be able to infringe any patents because they were created deterministically without any human thought or creativity? Patents have no requirement of creativity. Again, the protection for creative works is copyright, and it applies to software as well as it does to photographs and books.

More to the point, analogizing software to several other things that are all indisputably not patentable is a very poor way of arguing that software should be patentable.

Of course, this would require a custom modem firmware and/or hardware level access to the phone.

I'm both freelancer and I had a chance to interview a few candidates found on oDesk. Here are my thoughts:

1. Reviews by clients are not worth much. I've had a situation where my client asked me to fix the project after previous developer, who's code was horrible, but at that time my client didn't realize it, so they gave him 5 stars.

2. Pay attention to the language candidates use - very often their summary/portfolio is written in correct English, but during conversation they make lots of very basic mistakes. I'm not a native English speaker, I also make mistakes, but quite often these people just can't communicate in English, and this , sooner or later, will become a problem for you.

3. It's better to invite developers than to just post an offer - I've seen offers starting with "ONLY DEVELOPERS BASED IN US" to which hundreds of people from Asia applied. People don't even read descriptions, they just apply everywhere.

4. Developers' summaries are overrated - I've interviewed people with "more than 5 years of experience in web development" etc. whose code was more like junior developer's.

5. Having said that - ask people for samples of their work. The best is some OS project, because then you know it's their code, but actually few people write OS. Anyway, reading the code, even just 2-3 simple files, helped me to reject a few developers who made good impression during the talk.

TL;DR: chat to see if they can use English, read their code, be sceptical about what they and their clients wrote about them.
“We’ve never reported a loss of life,” he said, “so we’re doing pretty good.”

That's an interesting way to phrase that. Not "There has never been a loss of life" or even "We've never recorded a loss of life."
Wait, what can robots do to increase the size of the pie as it were. The size of the pie represents the market. And the size of the global market is fed by the population of the earth. So while the population may be growing at some steady pace, it has nothing to do with automation except in cases where demand currently.overshadows supply. "Currently" is the key word here.

No, automation is simply a tool for those who can afford it to cut out a large expense from their manufacturing process and increase profit. Not saying there's anything wrong with it. It's just you have to consider if nobody is left working and earning a decent living for themselves, then the size of the market starts to shrink.
They seem to have accidentally deleted it.

This completely ignores fact that "be better off" also includes control of one's environment (also called freedom). Considering that, in your example, most people would be worse off. They would all have higher material standards, but if you consider amount of wealth equal to "voting rights" about their environment, then they got a cut.

To say this less abstractly: Rich and poor are not a separate phenomena. Most people who are rich are so because they have power which they exercise over the poor.

Others have commented on here before about how that idea is incorporated into flight control systems.

Here's an example with the Boeing 777 that uses separate architectures:

>The aircraft has triple redundant digital autopilot and flight director designed by Rockwell Collins. The BAE Systems (formerly Marconi Avionics) triple digital primary flight computers provide control limits and commands flight envelope protection. Each of the three primary flight computers contains three different and separate set of 32-bit microprocessors, Motorola, Intel and AMD, to manage the functions of fly-by-wire.

One of my first comments on this site pertained to this issue:

>As computers begin to become capable of more and more jobs, the demand for human labor will decline. Automation is qualitatively different from mechanization. Education is a thin gilding on an impressive but non-optimal brain architecture. To say education will cure the ills of automation is a bit like saying fitness training could have saved workhorses from obsolescence. Workers of the world, you're fucked.

My opinions haven't changed much since. Though years off yet, we are heading into uncharted territory here. Sure, the labouring classes survived, actually thrived, after the economic obsolescence of their muscles; I doubt we will do well after the obsolescence of our minds. If a body's worth a penny a day, a mind a nickel, and it costs a quarter to eat - we will not survive even if the lump of labour fallacy is, in fact, a fallacy. It's entirely possible to starve to death while never once wanting for work.

Not really, what you're describing is profoundly difficult to do, and probably intimately related to a couple concepts in theoretical computer science:

1. Byzantine fault tolerance

Does your system maintain functioning even in the face of arbitrary adversaries embedded in the system?

2. Homomorphic cryptography

Can you execute meaningful computations on untrusted computers such that someone with total physical control could not discern the nature of the data or the computations being run?

Both problems are monstrously hard, open problems. They both impose extremely large computational costs as well, albeit in different ways. It's doubtful that an agency will consider these cost effective barring some radical innovation.

Edit: It looks like the two other replies address the issue of "suppose I have one or more systems that might fail, but not in an adversarial way." Intelligence agencies do not like to make that assumption, and so what is fine for NASA may not suffice to answer your quandary. NASA may produce 3, 5, 7, or more identical computers which then operate via a voting protocol to act. Unfortunately, if one of those machines is compromised, so is the data on it, and I am not sure what proofs NASA has for the reliability of their system if the machine could be compromised to produce arbitrary output.
I need more words and less marketing to convince me to send my cash to people who have far more cash than I do. I need a very specific and very concrete explanation of what they plan to do with it.

Is there a deeper link to documents with more detailed adult explanations of what they plan to do, how they plan to do it, and the specific criteria for support for a candidate? One that doesn't assume that I'm ignorant of the current state of campaign finance, SuperPACs, and recent SCOTUS decisions? Maybe a few names? I assume something like this exists, but I can't find it.

Or is this just LessigPAC, and I'm supposed to give money because I'm a fan or something?

Spectra dominates most applications today, so kevlar is not used so much for ballistics vests. Additionally, the police are not the main customers, much is military. Third, kevlar is still used for cut-resistance but that will not show up in this data (nor would the military lives saved). So for these and other reasons, its intuitively correct to think that the invetion of kevlar has broadly saved more lives than what is mentioned. Or at least that would be my guess. Other people may have actual data to flesh the subject out.

A couple of nits:

"It was developed to run artillery calculations, but due to the involvement of von Neumann and Los Alamos, in the end the first calculation it ran was computations for the hydrogen bomb, using around a million punch cards."

A more significant reason might be that while it was commissioned during WWII (middle of '43), it wasn't completed until half a year after the war ended.

"Some of the famous IAS machines include MANIAC (at the Los Alamos National Laboratory; von Neumann was involved with this one too and was responsible for the name), the IBM 701 (IBM’s first commercial scientific computer, with 17 installations), and ORACLE (in Oak Ridge National Laboratory)."

The Whirlwind project https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whirlwind_I beat all of the above mentioned computers in building a bit parallel computer. Also developed magnetic core memory for computers, significantly increased the lifetime of vacuum tubes (electrodes had too much silicon), was the grandfather of the minicomputer, and per the book on it, a talk by the primary inventor, Jay Forrester, and what I've otherwise gathered, pretty much defined the modular way we build computers. Forrester commented that he left the field afterwords because all of the interesting things had been done.

On the other, couldn't a LISP have a dual syntax?

So, you could use the "sugared" syntax, and revert to the isomorphic (that's the world?) sexpression syntax when you want to do s-expressy stuff like macros etc.

Of course you'd have to keep in your head the mapping between the sugary and sexpressions version, but it's not that difficult, and you'd only need to do that if you wanted to use sexpressions, not all the time when you don't really need them.
