Slightly hilarious, because /. is full of men too young to shave asking stupid questions.

I'm not asking a question about style or sites, or use of JS. I'm asking about your anger. Are you really this angry over stuff? I have a lot of experience with mental health issues and raging at the world because it doesn't behave the way you'd like it to is a sure-fire path to any one of a number of disorders.

I'm not going to tell you to calm down, because that's patronising. But maybe you could take a look at your anger and ask yourself why you're so angry (without blaming it on other people's behaviour).

Unidirectional inference in the presence of subtyping is undecidable in the general case. Languages like Haskell and OCaml don't have this problem because they don't include subtyping precisely for this reason.
In _The Dharma Bums_, Jack Kerouac actually describes one such time when he was in a fire lookout tower. It's a lovely part of the book, evocative of solitude and natural beauty but also informative of the pleasant things you give up being there. Loved it.

According to my understanding this allows beacons to analyze patterns. How could that be?
Sure, the question is sometimes trivial. But it's also a question that keeps us on our toes. I run a secular student organization - atheist, agnostic, secular humanist, pro-free speech, establishment clause, all that and so on. Our group is largely feminist, but for years suffered a severely lopsided gender disparity.

We ask ourselves "is it sexist?" because sometimes things that seem so obviously, ordinarily not-sexist, like a self-ascribed title, can result in a sexist impact. Some atheist student organizations I've met across the country allow personalized titles. I've met people who described their position in the organization as "Batman", or "God". These titles send signals that the group isn't serious.

Completely innocuous, non-sexist things can send entirely sexist signals. The types of events a student organization advertises: board games versus video games, can result in huge gender disparities. Catering to one because your current members prefer it is not sexist. Catering to one and ignoring the impact it has, is.

I think to be a proactive feminist, you have to examine the total impact of your actions, not just what individuals intended to happen. You have to examine not just why a decision was made, but what factors weren't considered in making it.

Is Parisa Tabriz sexist? No, I don't think so. Is she a bad feminist? I couldn't even begin to answer that question, I don't know her.

But is her title sexist? I have to think of my student organization and the signals we send. If my Director of Membership asked to change her title to "Membership Princess", I would say no. That sends the wrong signal to potential members.
There are universal esthetic values and it is possible to offend them. A neat appearance appeals to one's sense of order even while the imagination may gag at the lifestyle the imagination assigns this neatly-groomed person.

I don't understand what you are asking here. The example at the beginning of the "Distribution" section shows how to get the value from the door in room1 while running on the node corresponding to room2.

The same way you can call 'Portal.Door.get({:orange, :"room2@COMPUTER-NAME"})' on the first node (the one corresponding to room1).

That seems odd - if A visits will road and buys drugs off B then A owes B one bitcoin - that is a human level contract that is clearly understood. A balance sheet accounting of this transaction would as easily be In bitcoins as dollars (A has a liability of 1 bitcoin, B has an asset)

As long as B wishes to denominate their accounts in bitcoins this is quite reasonable.

Or am I missing something ?

This was (overall) a good article and good advice.

I take exception with two points:

1)"You end up being the average of the people you spend your life with."

-I don't agree. While this can happen and often does, you can be who you are, and you will, in spite of people around you.

2)"Perception is reality."

-I hear this all the time (mostly from sales types) and it is complete and utter nonsense. Perception is not reality. Reality is reality and the consequences of reality catch up with us no matter what our perception is. Want to find out and control reality? Change your perception to more closely align with it. Just believing something doesn't in any way make it so.

Otherwise... good points. Exercise, don't drink, be productive. Can't argue.
I may be wrong, but it's more than just a random feeling. I should also point out that I'm not suggesting that all data should always be released. And also I'll reiterate that it's not just 'randomwalker' I'm referring to here. I'm disappointed that the paper he's rebutting seems to be making the silly claim that 'it's safe' instead of 'it's a worthwhile risk'.

The case I'm most familiar with is the Netflix Prize. I think I can safely say (in my semi-professional opinion) that a lot of good research was published as a result of Netflix's decision to release the data that they did: http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=netflix

I view these publications as a public good. It's possible the techniques described were previously known privately, but before the contest there was no description of them in the available literature. At the conclusion of the contest, Netflix briefly announced that they would have a second contest, which would involve the release of another data set. In large part as a result of the press coverage of randomwalker's work, this potential release was cancelled: https://freedom-to-tinker.com/blog/paul/netflix-cancels-netf...

It's disputable, but I feel this additional data set would have generated a similar number of good publications, inspired new research, spread knowledge, and offered a similar benefit to the public.

It can be argued that preventing further data releases has prevented further harm to the public. But I think it's important to look at the actual harm done by the release of the first dataset. While there was some degree of potential for harm, to my knowledge no individual was actually discriminated against as a result of being identified in the data set. By contrast, I think it is accepted that numerous individuals have been harmed by other online data breaches. If more attention is paid to anonymous datasets than to other matters that cause actual harm, the attention is likely misguided.

I'd draw a parallel with the increase in airline security post-9/11. It's possible that confiscating oversize toiletry items and removing shoes has prevented further harm. It's indisputable (I think) that the additional hassle has had a negative cost to the public. And if more people choose to drive than to fly, the net effect is likely negative. But at least in the case of airline security, there is a clear case to be made of actual harm. Whether the current policies are a good compromise of inconvenience and safety depends on both the risk and the reward.

I know less about the other cases, both for benefit and harm. Have New York taxi drivers suffered harm as a result of the poor attempts at anonymizing the data? Is there public benefit to the data that was released? Have individuals been harmed by the semi-anonymized release of health records? Was this offset by any positive effects? This is the discussion I think we should be having, rather than simply pointing at the abstract potential for harm.
I'm working on a site where we follow this philosophy, and it works great but we have to design our features around the plugins available and how they've been implemented. Yes there are lots of plugins, but some of them are very dodgy and buggy.

Why did social bookmarking die? I say this in the sense that obviously Pinboard shows it is still around, but the hype and velocity that was in the space a few years back is gone.

Hacker News, Reddit, and bookmarks in your browser don't do the same thing. The former two because links you submit to them are not considered "yours" in the same way del.icio.us and Pinboard, and browser bookmarks because they are not social in the same way.

I guess Twitter does the same thing for a lot of people but it isn't as focused and it doesn't feel the same to me.

Does anyone else have any thoughts? Is social bookmarking forever relegated to a niche market or...?
Audio works, just restart your Chromecast and device.
The differences are more than just in syntax. Elixir is also a standard lib that many enjoy, out-of-the box tooling (even Erlang folks have praised mix, the project manager for Elixir), meta-programming.

For example, this code generates a bunch of functions using some compile-time code execution and a macro: https://github.com/alco/benchfella/blob/2513f85eff3886fdf1b3.... Doing the same in Erlang would involve using some 3rd party tool for code generation or doing the whole thing at runtime, in a more verbose way.

In short, achieving similar development productivity with Erlang would be quite a challenge.
I think you made the counter-point yourself - because "cash" is so difficult to police governments treat it specially. Bitcoins are or perhaps are becoming a medium of exchange that is hard to police and attractive to criminals. So irrespective of our current definitions of funds society has an imperative to treat bitcoin as funds and so as something to be policed. Hence the ruling.

Well ok, the ruling was really "no, there is no way you are snidely gettin off Scott free because the law forgot to think of crypto-currency"
So basically you're arguing that bitcoin's lack of success thus far at achieving its explicitly stated aims is a defense? What if he were conducting transactions in Syrian or Iranian currency? This is a disingenuous argument.

It's easier to create a PayPal account, link it to your bank account, list an iPhone, wait for someone to buy it (could take anywhere from minutes to days realistically), wait for them to pay you, take it to UPS/FedEx to deliver it, and then transfer the funds to your account than to visit one of the Bitcoin exchange sites?
It is unbelievable. I created this website to deal with a very simple and common scenario.

If you're on 1.4 Mbps then the odds are very good you're too far from your exchange for this to make even the slightest bit of a difference.

Not just by a small factor, but at that speed you're likely to be around two orders of magnitude too far away for this be in any way useful due to the attenuation inherent in your copper line.

The only way this latest increment is useful is to bring fibre in your case about 99% of the way to your household. This will bridge the last 1% because it's cheaper than running fibre into your household.

And what happens when Braintree (owned by Paypal) decides to drop you as a merchant? What if you're running a website supporting Tor, or selling proxies or VPNs, and they decide your content is "against policy?"

They'll "drop" you, and suddenly your "drop in" SDK is completely worthless and you're forced to write your billing system from the ground up.

From a risk perspective, using a solution like Chargebee, that integrates with multiple merchant accounts (including Braintree), is a much better choice. If for whatever reason your merchant drops you (it does happen!), you don't need to make any code changes. You only need to swap out the backend merchant account in your Chargee dashboard.

These "batteries included" payment solutions are nice for getting up and running quickly, but if you have any semblance of long term planning, it's a bad idea to build your entire billing infrastructure around the API of a single merchant account provider.

Pinterest is social bookmarking and is (obviously) incredibly popular. Delicious pushed "tags" as its killer feature. But if it had dumped putting tags front and center, and instead focused on beautiful photos of the items bookmarked, maybe it would have taken off more.
I doubt it.

I've not yet seen a consumer device were video rendering is done on one device then displayed wirelessly on another that works well at all. (Note, most Chromcast apps - Netflix etc) just tell the Chromecast what to play and it does the rendering.

This link works fine. I was not aware of it existence. I has a too long URI but it is way better than having to go to google plus and go to the the bottom right corner so that start a hangout button appears.

I am going to replace my Start button created by hangouts js library with a link to this URI.

EDIT: I just replaced the google hangout button created via js with google's framework by a direct link :).
I don't think it died as much as it captured the early adopters, which by definition represent a limited market. In my case, it's a great tool for archiving research. I'd describe social bookmarking as aspirational in the sense that a lot of what I bookmark is for future projects around current and latent interests, which I know some day that I'll return to. That's maybe a use case for the creative class, and not something as passive as reddit browsing.

Take Shirky's power law distribution ideas around content on the internet. A small percentage produce, another percentage participate and by far the largest percentage consume. Social bookmarking is a kind of curation that is in between the producing/participating levels. Much of the social aspect has been gutted by Twitter (which wins in terms of sharing, but drops the folksonomy and organization and production of a research repository), but what Twitter drops affects almost no one outside the 1-5% who are in that produce/participate space.

"Judging from the spikes every decade prior to about 1800, it seems that Wikipedia generously applies birth year categories when birth decades would be more appropriate. Nonetheless, the birth categories turns out to be far better curated than the machine-readable PersonData field."

I've already up voted you, but have to praise this insight. Folksonomy is a wonderful navigation and subscription method for the early adopters, but I still hear my wife telling my son to "search for a recipe you like on Pinterest". It's perhaps the Yahoo! vs. Google aesthetic in the sense that Delicious appealed to curators who were comfortable navigating by concepts, while the rest of the world just wants to find a like-minded, curated world that they can navigate by search.

Part of my intuition wants to buy into the idea that the age of exploration, and the sudden European expansion into the colonial/imperial territories of that period profoundly redirected the attention of people away from their peers, and instead toward the nature of the world at large (and maybe even humanity's place in the universe), and reduced the intensity of the run-away social chain reaction that produces interesting personalities that steal attention from each other.

If this analysis was only performed on English wikipedia, then there might be a degree of bias regarding European history. In any event, one would never expect the graph to bottom out, but possibly the reason the trough doesn't dip any lower than it does, could be that the rest of world history remains static, and picks up the slack, continuing to generate notable personalities in areas not disrupted by exploration.

Similarly, my intuition leans toward thinking that the long, steady, even duration of the trough might be an artifact of the nature of communication during the period, which also likely introduces a degree of delay between cause and effect. Long slow letter writing suddenly has to traverse an ocean or two, to maintain communication across populations spanning multiple continents.

This site is pretty helpful, I agree.

I'm responding to note my frustration with simple filtering by RT rating...a lot of movies have a high RT rating, but with very low confidence (e.g., 75, because 3 of 4 obscure reviewers liked it). You want want to filter by confidence also, but the interface doesn't allow it. It's frustrating because it's so close to solved; all the hard work of gathering the data is done, but the filtering is slightly too simplistic.
