I'm extremely concerned about the lack of women in another high paying career. Did you know that more than 98% of pipelayers, plumbers, pipefitters, and steamfitters are men? Clearly plumbers are not doing their part to get more women into plumbing.

Maybe it's the bro culture, maybe there is pervasive discrimination against women in the field, but it is unacceptable that there are so few women in the industry. The government should do something about this. Maybe if we offer women scholarships or prizes it would get them interested in this very lucrative field.

Firms spend much more of their time on survival. Arguably they have incorporated the market-based cycles of creation and destruction inwardly. ie they have absorbed this cycle.

In technology we see this in two areas:

1. In Outsourcing and the rise of contractors http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_process_outsourcing_to... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_technology_outsourc...
This enables the business to spend money on product maintenance and product development. Then the business can shut this off when cashflow stops. (But the firm keeps going!)

2. We see the rise of Product Management http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_management This is a kind of 'management science' devoted to starting, maintaining and stopping products. (But the firm keeps going!)

The point I'm making is that firms are getting older because they can incorporate the cycles of creation and destruction internally. You might argue this is good for the shareholder in the medium term.

Only half of the hawks are playing cynical power games, the rest of them think they are in the middle of a religious war as foretold by prophecy. Unless you understand that many of our leaders and armed forces are literally involved in a crusade, then you will never get a handle on middle eastern policy.

edit - and the most dangerous are those who don't believe, but claim faith for leverage. Those are the people who will go into a 'final war' with an eye on the spoils. The true believer doesn't believe there will be spoils at that point.
Done properly, the flipped classroom + MOOC format would allow for more personal interaction than the traditional university setting currently does for all but the best students at the most elite schools.

That they haven't succeeded says less about MOOCs than about the distribution of institutional power in traditional universities, where your typical administrator will see MOOCs merely as an opportunity to cut costs that wouldn't have to be cut if administrative bloat weren't crowding out everything else.
Thanks @Deinos! Although, I'd agree with Tommy that the site itself IS silly - it's like dead stupid simple if we're being honest. Hell, as the co-founder I called Coffitivity ridiculous before we ever started building. That said, the utility becomes apparent pretty quickly and outweighs how trivial it seemed at first.

So yes, the approach described in the article is exactly the approach used when training an animal. And no, that doesn't mean the poor autistic kid isn't a human being... it means the principles of reinforcement learning are universal.

Perhaps in this case the approach worked because it was a way to teach the child without the use of language.
Yup. Its funny as a dot net dev you learn to really love a few ms things and really hate the others. C# is a brilliant language. Entity framework is an awesome ORM.

We'll execute an open-source version of the Protocol during the YC Hackathon this weekend.
I don't think anyone argues that Python has more than one (static) type. It however has a dynamic type system. Significantly, static types and dynamic types do not behave the same way and their corresponding theories have somewhat minor overlap.

In particular, many things I can state about static types do not carry over to dynamic types and visa versa.

I believe many conversations get derailed early because among static type researchers, static types are known merely as "types" and dynamic types as "tags" or "classes". There are meaningful ways to compare these two kinds of things but somehow or another they ought to have different words since confusing the concepts will inhibit understanding quite severely.

If you are in a car, about the only way another car could kill you is by crashing into your car. And two cars that are both programmed to save the operator over others are not going to evaluate their surroundings and both decide that the best action to save their operator is to crash into each other... unless there is literally no other option. And if that is the case, then the crash was going to happen with or without autonomy or questionable ethics.

That is the problem.

The future of Perl is very, very difficult to predict. 14 years ago, the next major version was announced. It was explained and designed and promoted in public by gathering the community's list of 361 technical flaws.

P6 is now older than Perl was when P6 was announced and no one can tell when or if P6 will replace Perl. That includes developers as well as users and technical decision makers. If you start a new project in Perl today, how long will it be supported? Will you be able to hire or train enough developers? Will you be able to retain them? Will P6 ever replace Perl?

Python has its difficulties with the gradual adoption of Python 3, but at least there's a consistent and coherent story about community expectations. Perl doesn't have that, and that, to me, as a technical decision maker, is a huge risk.

I've come to understand where Hangout's come from, and to appreciate its features. I say this as a longtime Jabber fan (yes, despite the XML-bloatishness that people complain about).

Hangouts is a more-featureful answer to the likes of Whatsapp, Facebook Messenger and Line. The global population has strongly switched to mobile chat apps. What does "online/away" mean when you can check your phone anytime, whether in the office, on the toilet, having lunch or dinner, etc? Sure, you might not be immediately able or willing to respond, but so what? Do you know anyone nowadays who actually expects an immediate response from a text message? Hangouts provides one discreet but useful feature previous chat systems didn't : did you ever notice the position of your correspondent's icon in the chat stream? That's how far they've read.

My main issue with Hangouts is that the delivery-reliability on mobile is poor. I've had messages arrive minutes, hours, up to half a day after it was purportedly sent. At least I know my correspondent hasn't seen it from the aforementioned icon feature... It happens often enough that I use Line whenever I want any guarantee of delivery on my/their phone. Despite the poor performance of that app...

Hangouts also provides a free and seamless way to do voice and video chat. It may seem common now, but prior to it only Skype was doing as good a job, and Skype didn't provide the group-video feature for free! Google had long before provided protocol spec and open-source libraries to implement this in other Jabber clients. The pickup was dismal, so it's understandable if Google decided to forge ahead alone with their own technological developments.

As for why they've abandoned the light GChat desktop app in favour of the Chrome-integrated plugin... Vanishly few people (at the scale of Google's users) care about that, and it provides Google the guarantee that their users are running the latest version of the app. The latter is an incredibly powerful incentive, because it means they can expect feature and bugfix rollout to happen quickly, and not worry about legacy support. If you've ever developed a long-lived distributed app, you know how tempting that would be...

I remain deeply disappointed that Google won't open the protocol, because it means users like us with the will and the means to build alternative implementations can't do so. I don't know what the state of reverse-engineering is for the protocol, but I figure that, being built on protobufs and with the fast-rollout mentioned above, this isn't a viable hope, unlike previous chat systems that had to support legacy versions of their protocol for a long time.

I keep powerlessly hoping that someday Google, or some other mobile chat provider, will open up their protocol for technical users to get crazy with. In the meantime, welcome to the post-Jabber world and here's your Koolaid.

Danny Boy on the viola, and my own arrangement of Vivaldi's Four Seasons, for solo instrument (I'm using primarily the first violin line, reading it as written in alto clef, not treble, so down a 7th, dipping into the other violins or the viola occasionally to replicate the "feel" of the piece).

Because the viola is cool. Just like fezzes are cool.

Because life cannot be all-tech-all-the-time.

During my day job, key marketing messages, conceptual architecture, and high-level system architecture for an open-source service-to-business platform for governments based on two primary notions, true "tell us once" to ease the burden on business and automated on-boarding of new programs to ease the burden on domain-expert but IT-ignorant (as they should be) program managers.

Why? Coz it's like fezzes. And because after years in business, anything I can do to make dealing with the government easier and cheaper is good for me, good for the government, and good for the economy.
I'd look at patents. There are several expired patents for seat occupancy sensors that rely on EM wave disturbance. They're in pretty much any "auto off" passenger airbag system.
"in June 1988, IBM announced the results of Silverlake as the Application System/400, or AS/400. In many ways, the box was a repackaging of the System/38, with some left over Fort Knox parts,"

Brian Kelly was an IBM Midrange Systems Engineer for 30 years, and has spent nearly a decade as a System i5 consultant based in Scranton, Pennsylvania. He is also author of thirty AS/400, iSeries, and System i5 books and he serves as an assistant professor at Marywood University, which uses the OS/400 and i5/OS platform and teaches courses in the box as well.
http://www.itjungle.com/tfh/tfh040708-story05.html

My point was that the S/38 used some of the detritus from Fort Knox not, directly, the AS/400.

Quite a lot of work went into the AS/400 so it wasn't just a renamed S/38, but any discussion of the AS/400 should recognize its origins.
Of course NSA's actions aren't "the same" as Russia's. The question you should ask is if the NSA was somehow transplanted in the place of the Russian intelligence services in the Russian political environment, would they do the same things? I think it's likely they would.

If that's true, and if there is anything more morally reprehensible about on the one hand requiring bloggers to register with the state, and secretly de-anonymizing them, as you claim, then I think it follows that you can't give the NSA credit for being less morally reprehensible just because they happen to be constrained in that way.
As a Russian, I no longer care. Either this starts to change, or I'm out of here. There's an upper bound of shit one is ready to absorb even for the nice pay.

I think it's actually a step toward what you want. That kind of relationship is fairly rare and you're not going to be able to feel it with everyone.

It's been 4 years of working on this and I feel like I'm only slightly better at it, but hey - at least I have some real friends now!

> Or, the researchers admit, it could mean that the examiners are getting more laid back about giving approvals over time.

I would agree with this. My dad is a senior patent examiner at the USPTO. After working his way up, he's become a lazy GS14 (and so have all of his coworkers). Apparently, people at the patent office stop working hard after they reach GS13.

I guess it's symptomatic of doing government work. I don't mean to disparage government work, but approving patents isn't what you think of when someone says "public service". I see the same sort of thing at large companies as well.

If anyone has questions about how things work at the USPTO, let me know and I'll ask him.
USB Port Security Is Fundamentally Broken and Defenseless
Related: Recently Google has been sending me cheery messages about something called Albums that it compiles for me out of the photos I take with my Android phone's camera. The feature is as creepy as it's all over the place.

I think the titles come from my Google Calendar, and the photos are put together by date. Albums mix activities that happen over the same time period, like photos of my daughter before a trip in the same album as the mundane, banal and, at times, painful photographs I took of my father's flat and personal effects while documenting some paperwork I had to do during such trip, which was just after he died.

Thanks for the happy memories, Google! Now please tell me how to turn the feature off!

I think it's best we start considering these things before we get computers good enough to make it an issue, though.
IMO, 2-3 years is too soon. You might be pigeon-holed as a manager for future jobs. I guess you can always craft a resume to emphasize your hands-on technical experience though.

Maybe management is what you want? If so go for it. But your tone suggests you have reservations about this, so I'd suggest you ask to remain engineer and then after 5-10 years doing that, re-evaluate your desire for management.

Also, I'd be inherently skeptical of a place that moves you to management after 2 years of experience. That means they generally have non-technical managers. I think managers should be the senior engineers who also have people skills and like managing.
It adds it to Google+ Photos. It consumes the space which Google Drive provides, but you can't browse the photos from Google Drive. (Side Note: If you upload below a resolution of 2048px, it doesn't count against your storage space.)

Also, Google+ offered this for every Android device long before Apple's iCloud backup, Dropbox Uploads, or even Microsoft's OneDrive auto-backup.

Since most people get confused and avoid the feature, I think it makes sense for them to create a separate product called Google Photos which has nothing to do with social.
