You're thinking in partial equilibrium. I've no doubt that many women suffer under the yoke of gender expectations that are at odds with their biology. So do men. And even now, somewhere, there are women who suffer because of gender expectations you'd no doubt be in favor seeing made the norm.

But a world in which your vision ("Gender needs to go" == "your conception of gender norms needs to go") is realized is one where many more suffer similarly oppressive expectations. And anywhere in between we're making tradeoffs that are costly to someone on some margin.

Somewhat relatedly: "Theor[ies] of oppression" would be all the more compelling if the humanists and sociologists who peddle them for a living bothered (or had the training) to think in terms of general equilibria.

> So your claim is that everything global warming scientists have been saying is wrong because they ignored vital evidence?

Nope, my claim was only that a few things that some global warming scientists have been saying is wrong because they ignored vital evidence or followed bad evidence. Other things that even those very people say are fine. But there's a lot of confirmation bias going on, and there's a fair bit of propaganda.

A big PART of the propaganda is to mischaracterize what skeptics are saying and why they are saying it. It is simply not true that people who doubt one element of the warmist litany doubt all elements of it. Hence the need for terms like "lukewarmer". The propaganda effort says that "denialists" are disagreeing with "97% of scientists", but in fact if you look at what questions were asked to get that "97% agreement" number you'll notice that essentially all the people accused of being "denialists" are IN the 97%. The stuff skeptics disagree with is mostly stuff that is still quite legitimately up for debate. For another example (besides the "unprecedented" thing), nobody knows what the actual climate sensitivity to CO2 (including all feedback effects operative at any given time) is; the IPCC can't give an exact number on that. They can give a range of guesses, but these are still guesses. Thinking they're guessing on the high side doesn't make one a creationist or even a 3-percent-er.

Does that make sense?
Why preserve culture? You answer still comes down to "because we can't lose it". The other side of the coin is it's being done at the expense of forcing all minority language speakers to be economically disadvantaged. Great news if you're an American, not so great if you're a Nepalese. I have to disagree with you there. You haven't shown any reason why a member of a minority culture should be excluded from most of society and prevented from even learning modern knowledge, reading literature, or even understanding the ways of thinking of most of the world.

This is why I favor storing languages in museums, rather than burdening millions of innocent people with the job they didn't even sign up for.

I dunno if they really did have nothing interesting. The part that is intriguing is the fact that they repeated over and over again that this was the biggest overhaul of android yet, while being very unenthusiastic about it.

I think this might be because they've either changed strategic direction or are awaiting an overhaul of senior management, what with the Nest acquisition and Vic and Hugo's departures and all. I think the stuff that they had to announce today was simply a lagging indicator of their current direction.

About the link back to the site - I don't see anything in the API results to link back to and just a link to the site will probably get a lot lower rate of clicking than a link with context to the search... Perhaps, it will be a nice idea to add a link_back_url (just url?) for every result, so people can navigate to "searchcode.com/codesearch/view/n"?

Let me suggest the Quantcast File System (QFS) [0]. It's much closer to GFS as described in the paper (crucially it uses Reed-Solomon encoding to reduce storage requirements), it's highly tunable to different workloads, and it's written in C++. Quantcast uses it to store petabytes of data and for running map reduce. Unfortunately it hasn't seen much uptake outside of Quantcast, despite being a clear improvement over HDFS.

And here's the clincher.

Google cares deeply about your privacy. They desperately hope that the concerns of people like yourself never become mainstream - or that they never push their luck too far and the population at large becomes as cautious as some of the more tech-savvy already are.

Because almost their entire business strategy depends on people trusting them just enough.

You are a canary in the coal mine and I have no doubt that Google is very interested in your feelings about privacy for just that reason.
Indeed, that's the definition I am familiar with. To give an example, consider Prolog:

parent(john,mark).
parent(steve,john).

ancestor(A,D) :-
parent(A,D).
ancestor(A,D) :-
parent(P,D),
ancestor(A,P).

This is a declarative program - it describes being an ancestor means (the parent of a person or an ancestor of the parent of a person). The program does not specify the steps to find a ancestor given a descendant or a descendant given an ancestor. Yet we can do such queries thanks to Prolog's resolution procedure:

?- ancestor(steve,mark).
true
findall(A,ancestor(A,mark),L).
L = [john, steve].
?- findall(D,ancestor(steve,D),L).
L = [john, mark].

Of course, as the sibling poster points out, it's a spectrum. Even Prolog has procedural aspects: the ordering of clauses has an effect on execution, as well as the use of cuts, etc. But the definition cited is more a definition for pure functional programming.

> Spreadsheets explicitly rely upon mutable state for all functions (i.e., the value of cells)

How so? The values in the cells don't change as a spreadsheet "runs". You put the formulae in and the output is there, conceptually instantaneously. Some spreadsheets have some cells that are seen as "input" and expected to be edited, but that corresponds rather well to monadic I/O.
Absolutely.

I hate with a passion the attitude of "Don't bring me problems. Bring me solutions". Sure, if you've got a solution as well, that's great. But I'd much rather know there's a problem that you don't have a solution to than be completely ignorant of it.
> Self-consciously derivative and combinatorial art exacerbates this.

You are absolutely entitled to your artistic opinions and I have no interest in challenging those.

However, using the hammer of law to enforce your aesthetic perspectives is just unwise.

Copyright law is absolutely not the place to choose a best-possible-definition of what constitutes good art. We should instead take a broadest-resonable-definition and work from there. And I think most reasonable people -- who are attempting not to enforce their own aesthetic sensibilities -- will agree that if a significant subcommunity of well-established artists call some variation a piece of art (even if derivative or uninspired), then we can proceed assuming it's not an "exact copy".

> there are few scientists who labor unrewarded out of compulsion

There's up to a $40k split between what a top science student can make in industry and a first year grad student stipend at a top school. Plus the dent to future income potential. And even then they are not paid exclusively for the science -- the stipend typically includes lots of community work and/or teaching that is unrelated to the science. A lot of students at lower ranked universities get stipends exclusively for teaching and complete research in their spare time. In other words, completely unrewarded.

And "most scientists" are grad students.

So I respectfully disagree (and even resent) the implication that science doesn't involve significant personal sacrifice for most scientists, at least on the order of magnitude of the what most artists experience.

My point w.r.t. science was that a lot of highly derivative work is done (including "mashups" of theories, techniques, etc.). Although we realize this research isn't "as original", people aren't going around accusing these researchers of stealing their ideas. Of if they are, they certainly aren't even thinking about the hammer of law or lost profits. This fundamentally demonstrates that the artistic community is making an unnecessary and avoidable choice.

If they're not making money, I don't see how pissing off their current player base in favour of garnering an unknown number of a hypothetical different player base is a good move. Heck, they could have split the product into classic-league MWO (no coolant, no 3rd person view) and modern-league MWO and captured both markets. It really boggles the mind.
Interesting. Let me stick to physics because that is the field I am most familiar with. If the idea of falsifiability was not well understood before the 60s, then how did physics manage to progress after Newton? I mean well before the 60s physicists had discovered mechanics, electrodynamics, special relativity, general relativity, quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, etc. There were many other proposed theories, but these were the theories that survived empirical tests. Theories that made no testable predictions did not survive. So, based on the history of physics, it seems to me that physicists understood this idea well before Popper came along. Do you agree?

If you agree, then perhaps Popper was responsible for spreading this idea to the social sciences, but he was not the one who introduced it to science.

Now, falsifiability is in fact an outdated notion, and this too was appreciated well before the 60s. As a first example, consider quantum mechanics which was formulated in the beginning of the 20th century. It postulates that the state of a system is described by a wave function, but only certain aspects of the wave function can be observed. The theory makes many testable predictions, but not all aspects of it can be tested (and therefore falsified). Popper argued against this theory (along with Einstein), but it turns out he was wrong. So it seems to me that, not only did physicists understand falsifiability before Popper, but they actually understood more than Popper did (or at least some of them did, like Schrodinger).

A second point about falsifiability is that it is in fact quite a naive and unproductive idea, even without the complexities of quantum mechanics. It is true that theories cannot be proven, but it is also true that they generally cannot be falsified, except in very simple cases. If I have a theory that the sun rises every day, this theory can be falsified. But most theories rely heavily on statistical measurements, which are inherently uncertain. Therefore we can only assign a probability to whether the theory agrees with measurements or not. If we start thinking that we actually 'falsified' some theories, this can actually damage the progression of science. If you like Bayesian statistics, for each theory we can assign a probability of it being correct, based on our measurements, but the probability is rarely 0 or 1. This, again, is well understood by physicists, and I don't think this idea was introduced to physics by philosophers.

The number of Markdown editors that exist pretty much prove that Markdown has failed at its job.
Why does this have to a sort of CAPTCHA? It could just be the payment method for your API. I'm not sure that the current difficulty of Bitcoin mining makes this practical, but the idea would be that in order to get to my precious API you mine a little bit for me.

This way you don't need to buy API credits or stuff like that, login and billing are somewhat conflated.

Maybe someone with better knowledge of Bitcoin can comment on the feasibility.

You could also say it's just an implementation of mutable state. The "State" type and its operations are just a few lines of simple Haskell code. The implementation uses parameters and return values to thread state between functions. It's just a simple abstraction of a simple pattern of programming. It uses a monadic interface, which is convenient and gives you some syntactic sugar, but there's nothing magical about it.

From the Haskell point of view, so called "actually-mutable" state is on the other hand deeply magical, because it lets you do exotic things like having one thread modify a value in another thread. And that's possible through things like IORefs. But it should be avoided as much as possible.

StartSSL/Startcom already does not charge for individual (wildcard) certificates, you can request unlimited numbers.

You do pay a $60 fee for identity validation, which is valid for 2 years. You can also have automated validation, but they don't allow wildcard certificates (which I sort-of understand, they do need to make money some way right)

So you get unlimited free non-wildcard certificates or unlimited wildcard certificates for $30/year. Not a bad deal.

I wonder how feasible it would be to make a markdown sanity checker, to catch common errors, or if it would have too many false alarms. "Are you sure you wanted to make a paragraph with a ton of asterisks in it, or did you really want a list?" etc.

But really, when you make errors like that, it means the markup language isn't intuitive enough. I can never ever remember the proper order for links in Markdown, I hate it. I'd rather have a WYSIWYG-ish editor that both shows your markup (so you can edit it with the keyboard) but also styles bold, headers etc on the fly.

Actually, for a videogame community, the MWO community is pretty mature and helpful. But if people spend $100+ on a promise of a game concept and no progress towards that happens in a couple of years, they will get grumpy even if mild tempered.

I think PGI could have saved themselves a lot of grief by:

- Getting private matchmaking out much earlier than May this year. It's been requested since day one, and would have kept the hardcore folks busy until community warfare.

- Learn the art of tweaking game balance. They drop patches every two weeks. Instead of making huge, sometimes game wrecking, balance changes every three months they could have nudged the balance slightly each patch. "Missiles seem slightly too easy to avoid - making them 3% faster" doesn't make anyone blow a gasket. "Bumping missile speed 75%" will.

> "Declarative" always exists in a spectrum: one's specification is another's implementation.

I'll go further: statelessness and applicativity obviously have an intimate and important relationship with declarativity ("what rather than how") (just as non-Turing-equivalence does), but they're not the same, and trying to simply define the latter as the former is an annoying PR wheeze that spreads obfuscation.

I can't comment on the whole Google API offers, but I use Moves and I really like it. I was initialy meant as a low-level excercice tool but they steped a little away from that and designed the product more for life-loging, and this is gold for me: I can, every week or so, look back at what I did. I make a personal effort to do something new every day (buy a vegetable I've never taste at the supermarket, try a new restaurant, walk another route to work) and that app covers a lot of that -- not always directly, but it reminds me of context. "Why did I walk that much that day? - Click to map - Oh, I went through that park back home. Yeah, that was when my boss really got in my guills, and I needed the Sun." Including photos, notes would make is more explicitly so, and Moves has more of a low-feature general approach, but what they have makes sense.

It's not about getting a dog as much as having something that archive (your memory sucks at that) and tells you if you have the regularity that such a responsability entails: I can't. I can tell you I got home after 10 more than half the past month, but not because I remember it: because Moves let me see so.
More intuitive would be not having to know the command. Is it still "from" if my gmail is set to German or French?

Anyway, I do think google solved this in to ways: type contact and from:contact is suggested

To be hones if this was a contract between the developer and the community he could have been sued for breach of contract.

Luckily it's just a promise but I still think that's a bit fucked up.
