"But for building a robust application that will have to be maintained a long-time, you have to religiously write tests in these languages or you'll be buried in bugs. And even then, you still may be buried in bugs that a static, strongly-typed language would have detected."

People make this sort of claim all the time, but my personal experience has not borne it out, and I have seen no data to backup this claim which would override my personal experience.

First, I find I have to write tests nearly as religiously in statically types languages, so I don't find that a convincing argument.

Second, most bugs I've experienced in large code bases using a dynamic language are not the sort that would be caught by most typed languages. On this point there is even some data that backs up my personal experience (http://vimeo.com/74354480).

Third, writing code with a static language takes more time in my experience. Maybe it prevents a tiny fraction of bugs, but for most things I'll take saving significant time and cost over preventing 3% of bugs (I made up that number).

In short, I'm not sold on these arguments for static typing.
Hey, sorry for the confusion. Each video you watch decreases the price of the item for sale. In addition to the price decrease, you get vidfall points. These points are used at the 50 to .01 ratio. It is just an added bonus. Something users get even if they don't make the purchase. Users can apply these points at any time.

I imagine the front of the terminal is a place where groups of people can typically be found - drop offs, pick ups, waiting for baggage, etc.

Also, blowing up the front of the terminal has the potential to shut down airport operations much longer than a remote car park.

Thanks. This could be a direction we can explore.

Although, in our case, the receivers of the equity are individual salaried employees of our company, not sole proprietors. However, this seems like worth exploring so I'll take it up with a tax consultant.
What are nulls extremely useful for in programming languages?

At least one serious problem with nulls in many languages is that you can get one somewhere you are not expecting it, and you won't handle it correctly, resulting in an null pointer exception (if you're lucky) or a crash (if you're unlucky). That's why alternatives like Option types are so useful: you really cannot ignore them, so they won't catch you by surprise. And at the same time, you can often handle them in pretty painless ways.

Do they let you carry that own or do they hold that until you get off the plane? The latter was my experience some years ago.
A few seconds warning seems like it might be kind of useless for humans, especially at 3am, but it would be cool to have this feed into automatic systems to automatically put them in a "safer" state before an earthquake hits. It might even be that 10 false positives a day are worth it to catch one real event, if the "safing" operation is relatively non-disruptive.

Yes, I meant 83b :-).

> 83b elections only become a problem for people where you grant them actual shares which they vest in over time which is only common for founders.

All equity we are planning to issue has a vesting schedule attached. My understanding is that it's uncommon it issue equity that doesn't have a vesting schedule attached and it's true for all employees and not just founders. Vesting is indeed at the core of this problem.

We live in that wonderfull time in development,where a lot of things are questioned.A lot of languages that used to rule everywhere are questioned,like the OP,and devs try to come up with the ultimate language that would solve every use case.

There is,of course, no such a language but future languages wether they are dynamic or static ,strong or weak (type wise) will certainly not make the same mistake as their ancestors.

Personally I want a scripting language,with type inference but real strong static typing, that can be easily interfaced with C++, that handles concurrency the right way(ie not like javascript callbacks),that is trully multipurpose(like python) elegant(a bit like ruby), 00 with composition and strong encapsulation in mind and access modifiers, with immutable structures and variables by default but not limited to it,with some functional features without looking like Haskell,resonably fast for GUI dev,scientif computation and non trivial web apps,easy to deploy on a server, with sane error handling,IO streams everywhere, a clear syntax(no unreachable characters on non english keyboards everywhere),with a good package manager, an interactive repl(like IPython or the tool for swift,I forgot the name) and with battery included.

So we are definetly living in an exciting period.
If the system were relatively reliable, 10 seconds is actually a lot of time. During the day, it's enough time for many people to take cover. During the night, it's enough time to at least get people up and semi-oriented.

The other thing to note is that earthquakes are much shorter than most people think, usually about a minute long. 10 seconds is quite a bit of time compared to that.
Methane vents occur in other parts of the world as well. For instance, Yanartaş in Turkey is a methane vent that is associated with a mythology in a couple of respects:

No, this is incorrect. Most of arctic ice is landlocked: it is currently not in ocean waters. This is why its melting directly contributes to sea level rise.

Imagine filling half of a salad bowl with water, then resting a strainer full of ice on top of the bowl. As the ice melts, the water will drip into the bowl and raise the water level. That's basically what is happening with the arctic ice.

At one point, anyone on visas other than business/visitor could file for SSN or a Tax ID. That's no longer possible unless: 1) You are in the US on a legitimate Visa that allows you to work & 2) You have an offer letter for paid employment.
Now students on F1 visa (who are allowed to work part time on campus) can't get SSN unless they pick up a job and have a letter to prove it. Earlier they could.

I'll talk to an accountant about w-8 ben but my current understanding it that it's not feasible in our case. Perhaps because there's no immediate payment being made out.

Also, in our case, the problem will exist only if the beneficiary happens to be in the US at the time of these options vesting and liquidating due to a company sale/IPO. At that point, they can't make an 83b election so will end up paying much higher taxes.

On the topic of IDE's, WingIDE has an interesting approach where you can add `assert isinstance(your_var, SomeClass) to the beginning of your functions to help Wing analyse your code[1]. It's more verbose than type annotations and doesn't feel very idiomatic sprinkling asserts all through your code but I recall it being pretty helpful (I haven't used Wing in years now).

The article is claiming $3,000 per hectare per year under ideal conditions, perhaps closer to 1/3rd that on a real farm.

But compare that to average revenue per hectare of closer to $300 / ha / year. [1]

So when the farmers say, just tell me when I can start growing it, they aren't kidding. Very interesting research.

And whitelisted processes don't have to take input from anything other than the user himself; a command-line screenshot tool that can be run by any program and doesn't ask for interactive confirmation through a trusted channel (ie. keyboard events directed into its own window by the compositor itself) would be a pretty stupid thing to whitelist unless you've got proper sandboxing for any untrusted apps.
To be clear, the detectors in Napa felt the tremors then transmitted the data to Berkeley. They got a 10 second warning because the tremors travel much slower than the speed of light. Being 10 seconds away means the quake is much less intense. This is helpful, but what we need is a warning for people within a few seconds of the epicenter.
I came here to write exactly this, but after logging in, saw your comment. Comcast and AT&T are exactly the kind of companies who aren't going to invest a dime in any kind of customer convenience features besides an automated bill payment system.

>The "holy grail" of intelligence -- that is, actual human intelligence...

When people talk about human-level AI, are they referring to specific beneficial subsets of human intelligence, like holding a conversation or interacting with the world around them, or does it literally include all of human cognition? In other words, would the "holy grail" include AI that acts extremely irrational and makes poor decisions based on temporary chemical imbalances in the body? Does the perfect human-level AI get depressed and commit suicide some of the time? Are we trying to replicate all of the parts, or only the good parts?

I like that, but you'd still have to call a function to get the properties though and this wouldn't prevent anyone from accessing those properties directly.

obj.getFoo();
obj.foo = "bad stuff"; //overwritten

instead of

obj.foo = "bar";
obj.foo;
obj.foo_ //error, not allowed access

I think if they make some small changes, they would save so much money for themselves as their employees won't be spending that much time (by asking repetitive questions) on each call. Its so frustrating to keep repeating even the last four digit of social to each of those person and repeating address. If the call goes off because of network issue, they don't even bother to call, so you have to call again and go thru the same pain.

I think the point is that 10 seconds of warning really translates to 0-5 seconds of warning given the time it takes to send out the warning (text, radio, emergency broadcast). Then add in time to wake and get oriented.
I seriously doubt that a $5.60 fee has a significant effect on demand for $200-$500 plane tickets.

If that were the case, one could argue that the overpriced food at the airport also kills people.

As for your sources:
The paper linked by Business Week doesn't say anything about the price of airport security deterring people, rather it is about the aggregate group that substituted driving for flying after 9/11, which has a myriad of causes. It does not support the assertion that the price of the TSA kills people.

The second link asserts that the time spent due to TSA procedures puts more people on the road, but I doubt this for two reasons: 1. security has been quick and efficient in my 2x-4x flights per year experience and 2. the rule of getting to the airport 1 hour before domestic and 2 hours before international flights existed before 9/11 too. So if somebody spends 30 minutes in a security line or 5 minutes, that affects their time twiddling their thumbs at the gate and not their travel time (and therefore doesn't really impact the decision to fly or drive).
Wow, this is great. I have a bad heart, I will be keeping a close watch.
> So you also want airlines to modify cabins to handle oversized carry-on luggage?

No more so than they already do. See, I routinely travel with an acoustic guitar in a gig bag as my "personal item"; it fits in the overhead compartment. And when I don't have the big guitar I often carry a smaller "travel" guitar in a triangular case that is almost exactly the size and shape of a rifle case; they often let me hang that one in the coat closet to get it out of the way.

The problem here isn't that I want to carry a rifle on board, it's that I want other people to be free to carry a rifle on board. I want that because preventing them from doing so inflicts a cost on me. Preventing things like rifles means I need to get to the airport an hour before the flight and I need to stand in long security lines and let them grope and/or ogle me and search my baggage and confiscate my sunscreen and examine my guitar and send my electronics through a second time. Every. Single. Flight.

If I could skip all that nonsense - just come to the airport and walk right to the gate WITHOUT the search, that would worth at least an extra 5 or 10 bucks to me because it substantially reduces the chance that I'll miss my flight. And it would SAVE the airline money not having to pay for search goons and their equipment, and it would even make me more likely to fly.

I want other people to be able to carry a rifle because I'm not a hoplophobe. In fact, I personally would feel ever-so-slightly safer in a flight where I knew other people might be armed as a matter of default than in one where the ONLY armed people are likely to be bad guys or Official Security. Because I trust that on average, by and large, my fellow passengers are competent and well-meaning people. They're not ALL potential terrorists; any potential terrorists are seriously outnumbered and (in my world) outgunned.

I just want to get on the damn plane without the time-wasting rigamarole.

Have you ever gone skydiving? If so, did you notice that there's no airport security there - you don't have to take off your shoes and helmets and put the parachute through a metal detector? You just put on all your crap, get on the plane with it and the plane takes off. Right then and there. You can do this at small airports all over the country, using decent sized planes. And somehow nobody has ever used this as an opportunity to kick everyone out, hijack the plane and crash it into a building.

The specific threat that modern "airport security" is designed to stop is essentially nonexistent. We are fighting an imaginary hobgoblin, an empty set. The money we spend doing so is entirely wasted other than that it makes a few people feel more confident to think that we're "doing something".

We should address the same fear some other way. Maybe if we put up billboards and ran ads explaining why all the security theater makes us less safe, people would stop demanding it.

Customized images. For instance, I want a simple debian based email and web server. All I need to do is enter the domain name and it handles the rest, as well as maybe giving me instructions on adding SSL certs and so on. A freeswitch PBX - again, all I have to enter is a few things and it is setup for me. There are lots of ways to do this, but it would be a big attraction to some folks if it just worked on setup.
I'm deuteranomalous too, and I first thought, "I can distinguish these colors easily, I'm glad they chose colorblind-friendly colors". Then I read the color list and realized there were more colors than I thought.
About a year after 9/11 I flew from Phoenix to Corpus Christi Texas. I brought a carry on case from work with me full of papers and (unknown to me) some tools including a large folding knife, a smaller pocket knife, a leather man and some screwdrivers. I honestly had completely forgot about the tools, they were buried in the bottom of the case under papers (yes, my case was not very organized).

So, I took the case carry through x-ray in Phoenix, then, during a layover in Dallas I went outside the airport with the case, came back in through security, re-boarded the airplane and proceeded to Corpus Christi where I passed my vacation. After vacation, on the return flight to Phoenix, they found the knives and tools at the small airport in Corpus Christi as I attempted to board. I gave them to security and nothing came of it but I didn't feel it wise to tell them that I had already been through two checkpoints with the contraband. I realize things have probably tightened further since then but still... I was a bit shocked. And I'm still thinking a lot of the "security" at airports is for show.
"The system works because while earthquakes travel at the speed of sound ..."

That sounds like a somewhat misleading simplification or a complete misunderstanding.

Presumably "the speed of sound in the earth" and "the speed at which earthquakes travel" is by definition the same - earthquakes just being "sound vibrations" in the earth with macro level amplitudes. I'd be very surprised if that was particularly close to what people think of as "the speed of sound" (which I'd assume means "about 350m/s").
AutoHotKey-like behavior is already severely limited on X (can't send to non-active windows, same with XTEST). That is, if you want to use it for macros. For UI test automation it's fine I guess.

"There is no scripting or programming needed."

At what point will people learn that this is... just not possible? We can dress it up with fancy terms (DSL, etc) but... any business system will require people to be able to think logically and critically about what they're trying to accomplish, and define it out in great detail. Computer languages are the best way we currently have to translate those details in to a computer, and likely will be for a long time to come.
