Are these the 3 only options? Define "European"? Sweden, Greece, Russia and Turkey are all parts of Europe,but I imagine you would be a lot quicker to call someone from Turkey "middle eastern". Also, with this classification someone from Brazil or Mexico is also American, since they live in one of the Americas, and you seem to prefer continental or regional denominations rather than ones based on state.

But technicalities aside - I am from Poland. Country which has every reason to hate Germans the most. Yet my opinion of Germans is that they are incredibly polite, worried to be perceived as even a little bit racist, and the part about border crossings is completely made up. Even before the Schoengen zone was opened, if you were stopped at the German border, sure, they could disassemble half of your car - but then they would put everything back together exactly as it was, and they would apologise for taking your time. Compared to the Belorussian, Ukrainian or Russian borders, where you have to be careful to not get shot.

That was an response to the previous poster's incorrect observation about hearing "nothing in the way of mass murders on airplanes."

It appears that you incorrectly interpreted it as a complete list, as you concluded that only two incidents have occurred. http://listverse.com/2014/03/26/10-people-who-committed-murd... gives other examples of people who have committed mass murder on an airplane, including http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continental_Airlines_Flight_11 (as a consequence of a suicide-by-bomb insurance fraud).

Also, the context was "mass murders on airplanes." Mass murder means typically 4 or more deaths. I have found many murders which took place at churches in the US [1] and ending up with one or two death. However, I haven't haven't found much in the way of mass murders of the sort that is supposed to be identified by security theater measures.

[1] If we go outside of the US then there are certainly metal detectors at some synagogues, bomb detectors at Mecca’s Holy Mosque, etc.
Agreed; "The server operators cannot decide what 'parental control' would mean for parents" is the most important part, for me.

There are as many definitions of "what is appropriate for kids to see" as there are parents.

The decision belongs with the parents, not with the 3rd party sites who, let's not forget, are the ones supplying the content in the first place.

This just seems like an utterly naive and vague idea.
I would say that the answer for the 5 year old scenario is supervision.
The weapons in the video are not powerful enough to take down an airliner. They'd likely harm a handful of people nearby or blow a small hole in the side of the plane but not much more than that. A small hole in the side of the plane would likely not cause it to crash.

Of course, I don't mean to be flippant with regards to the lives of people close by but it's not a larger threat than someone doing this on the ground. The biggest point of airport security is to keep the planes from falling out of the sky or flown into buildings.

Our society has a weird and twisted notion of freedom. Have everyone do whatever they feel like (within the legal limits, of course) .. and no one thinks twice about it. Millions of people dying? Yeah, sure, ressources are scarce - not our fault the universe is so cruel. Right?

But then as soon as someone somewhere manages to twist reality in a way such that it actually impacts our emotions, e.g. by claiming that it could be your child to suffer this inequality in life, all of a sudden there's an outcry out for regulation to fix that one specific issue with rationality-be-damned and ends-justify-the-means methods.

How about instead we take a step back and look for structural causes for these issues. Chances are that if our society allowed for the tech-industry to be unjstifyably hostile towards women, it also allowed for some generic industry X to be unjstifyably hostile towards some generic group Y of the population. Chances are that if our society allowed for marketing to negatively impact the opportunities that women have later in life, it also allowed for some generic business practice X to negatively impact the opportunities that generic group Y of the population will have later in life.

Given this, what kind of madman would assume that providing an ends-justify-the-means hotfix that solves (or at least tries to solve) the issue for some y (in Y) is the right approach to this?

Or to put it more bluntly, what makes women so much more worthy of our attention compared to all those other groups of people that are struggling in life? Why do they get to fasttrack their issues, rather than have to wait for a structural solution that benefits everyone, just like everybody else too?

While you're correct in that bad algorithms will produce bad outcomes, forward thinking companies will improve the algorithms with feedback from the workers.

If previous Lean / Six Sigma studies are correct, this feedback loop will lead to improved employee morale as they become the drivers of decision making and less likely to feel disenfranchised.

A layer of management can be removed and it is mismanagement that generates the most workplace animosity, as you say yourself.

I'm a Jawbone UP user and I have absolutely no problem with this anonymised data being used like this. It can make not only the product better but could also lead to useful research around sleep and health.

If I want out then Jawbone has a handy 'remove all my data' option.

People share all sorts of data in all sorts of places (as others have pointed out in this thread), and it is their own responsibility to read the T&Cs of those services.

I agree that data privacy is important for those who want theirs protected. But in this instance, people have chosen to wear their UP and have T&Cs which notify them of the usage. If they later change their mind then they have the option to have their data removed.

I can't see how any of that equates to 'shackles', but agree from some POVs it could be considered 'scary'.
Me too! I think it is great we have progressed to the point where we can have this sort of insight. :)

https://bitbucket.org/xnyhps/haskell-unittyped/issue/3/num-i...

Btw, it's weird... I just tried

ack-grep "Num\b"

and I cannot see any instance of Num defined anywhere inside unittyped's src

PS: ok, since I wanted to see exactly what was the problem with unittyped compiling under ghc7.8 I cloned the sources, but I forgot to checkout the actual release... thus running directly from tip was the cause

Installing it directly from hackage solved it, it's embarrassing how I was stunned by this in hindsight

If I understood correctly, the problem is that the money made abroad, is made by using the intellectual property owned (and presumably gained) in the U.S and some people think the U.S. should get a share of those profits.

However:

1) while it's true that good part of the actual work has been done in the U.S., great part of the value comes from the effort (marketing, sales, R&D, ...) that happens in the subsidiaries; it's not easy to quantify, but certainly those people are actually doing something, aren't they?

2) as far as I understood, the U.S. income tax is not paid until that money gets back to the U.S.
In fact it stays abroad, deferring the tax payment. The subsidiary could use that money to invest and expand the foreign market, with indirect but substantial domestic benefits.

I believe the issue of tax loophole in the country where the actual subsidiary works, is a different matter; but I don't understand what's the problem per-se with having stashes of oversea money held by a foreign subsidiary of your company.
This is naive in the extreme. Your online opinions and other data are potentially stored forever and trivially accessible to anyone. Have you ever expressed an opinion about politics, religion, terrorism, abortion or anything potentially divisive? Well in 10 years time the laws could have changed and those legal, innocent remarks you made 10 years ago could potentially land you in a lot of trouble.

What is legal and normal now may be illegal and dangerous later and the then government could go back and look for "troublemakers" by examining old data to check for subversive comments. Good luck explaining your comments from 15 years ago when you get dragged off to a secret court for "terrorist" behaviour based on comments and opinions of many years ago.

What about supposedly innocent tracking data. Suppose you had to visit the dentist several times in quick succession and suppose your dentist office was located very near to a known terrorist cell. Now you are in a database of people to watch. Several years later you have to make repeat visits to some other location which by sheer coincidence is near another terrorist cell. You are now a hot hit and this triggers a series of events starting with the IRS doing a full audit on you and your friends /family potentially followed by much worse.

This is not science fiction but easily plausible. The more data you have, the easier it is to establish causal relationships which are not real, but could have real consequences when some government or other organization takes an interest in you.

I think you're right. We need to start looking at the problem from further away. Fixing one specific lack of diversity doesn't help solve the others.

Take for example Google. In their diversity report[1] it shows that only 17% of employees in tech related jobs are women. That's something people have talked about for a while and shows a lack of women in tech. We seem to be ignoring the fact however that 94% of Google's tech employees are white or Asian. Only 2% are hispanic and only 1% are black. Why are we ignoring this? As you say we need to step back and look at the bigger problem - lack of diversity - instead of focusing on one specific area (women).

> "... it is their own responsibility to read the T&Cs of those services."

While some people may believe/feel this is reasonable, it has rapidly become impractical. Have you read the T&CS for all the services you use? Any idea how many pages of text that comes to? Did you also know that the reading level of most T&Cs requires college-level education (just to comprehend)?

My point is that it is already impractical (& will become more so) to suggest that T&Cs can make people aware of anything.

My feeling is that most of the people talking here do not have children yet. As a father, I would be really pleased to have such header accepted by many providers to just filter out content which is clearly not for kids.

A small example, I am French living abroad, if I want my kids to read a bit the news, I cannot send them on one of the 3 "major" French newspaper to read a bit. Why? Because at the bottom of the first page, they put a lot of sexual content like fully naked women wresting. If this header could remove such content, together with videos where people are beheaded. I would be pleased. Really.

If you start to think that this is censoring content, it is not, it is journalist work, that is, providing adapted content to the visitor.

Some more details:

* I used the complearn package from http://complearn.org/ - it hasn't been updated in a while and needed a few minor changes to compile on Ubuntu 14; drop me a line if you'd like the patch.

* Similarity clustering with NCD works best when you can visually inspect the items and get some level of understanding as to what they are doing. I recently clustered all of our web logs on a monthly basis and found that, while e.g. summer months were clustered together (around releases and conferences typically) there were a couple of unexpected winter months in there too. The logs were too large to inspect for differences by hand - in this case it is more useful to cluster e.g. individual requests, or summaries tables of each month.

* Wesnoth is a great example of an open source game that continues to grow and develop and the team are friendly and welcoming. I can highly recommend contributing to it!

I like that MIT is willing to embrace the internet as a teaching channel and open minded enough to be willing to question its approach.

After reading the comments posted here I wanted to add that, as I'm sure most hackers/entrepreneurs here will appreciate, innovation is not a straight path and you cannot know where you'll end up from where you started. The important thing is to be willing to go out into the unknown and find a path to what works.

I can appreciate the comments about how this approach to teaching may not be the best way for everyone, but then again this would also apply to the "traditional" face to face teacher to students approach. I'm not going to be drawn in to making a judgement of which one is better than the other, but I sincerely believe that having diversity in how content is taught is better for everyone.

Also with regards to comments about MOOC completion I'll use my own experience as a guide when I say that some MOOCs are taught better than others and some courses I've been more interested in the content than others. This creates a situation similar to when I was at University and I would say that my grades reflected my interest in a subject and not my ability in it. The more I was interested in a subject the more I would invest extra time and attention to the course content. I have come to the conclusion that this was a lazy way of thinking and now I have a different approach to learning, I can see how this applies to MOOCs.

My take on modularisation is that it can be a good thing and I would point towards Khan Academy and how modular the concepts are and how they build as you go through a subject area. There you can find a supportive community willing to answer student questions focused around the module. Also as someone who is unwilling to go back to University to learn specific areas of knowledge taught at University I'm happy to hear that I would be able to pull out the areas I want to need to know when I need it.

Lastly, I would also like to say that perhaps there should be a MOOC on learning from a MOOC. I'm not sure these comments apply to the Hacker News community, but I've noticed that many people don't acquire an approach to learning. I myself have self taught on a great deal of subjects, including programming, and at times struggled through learning how best I learn. Amongst the insights to I've had into my learning style I would humbly recommend "Learn Anything: Hacking Your Education with Dale J. Stephens" from Creative Live. Besides learning a new portmanteau word "hackademic", I learnt a lot of new and useful strategies for tackling learning.

What Should a 4 Year Old Know? (2010)
Teatro.io – features preview for web-applications in one click
During developing web-projects, manager always need to test new features. Typically, this is done using test servers. Often, manager cannot run a test server himself to see new features and has to ask the developers for the help, distracting them from their work. Besides purchased test equipment is not necessary 90% of the time.

Teatro.io automatically creates a test server in the cloud for each new feature at the time it was added to the project. The manager doesn’t need to configure anything himself – when developers have prepared a new feature which they want to show to their manager, they make changes to the code. Teatro sees these changes, launches a personal test server for this concrete feature and sends a unique link to the manager. It only remains to follow the link and start testing.

Teatro deploys a dedicated cloud server for each Pull Request (change in the code) on GitHub, and provides a comment with the link to the server. No need to do anything manually – Teatro automatically creates server specially for each branch. Service monitors the new commits and updates code on the server automatically.
Thus, you can run any number of parallel test servers under each feature and only when it is needed. Servers are not "live" all the time, and are suspended during idle time and do not waste resources.

Access to the service is provided on a monthly subscription basis. Pricing depends on a maximum number of parallel servers and projects.

Our features:

- Everything is set automatically, without the participation of developers and system administrators
- You can test a few features parallel at any time
- Teatro lets you save money, because no longer need to have your own equipment and spend valuable human resources for serving test infrastructure

We offer special prices for early adopters. If you're interested in it, please write me alexey@teatro.io
