>That's the basic reason why we have markets.

No it isn't. There's no such thing as 'markets' and it's sloppy thinking to believe there is. What we have have is a political system that uses a stylised propaganda framework to propagate and reinforce itself - much as the Church did in the middle ages.

Belief in 'markets' as some kind of metaphysical efficient all-but omniscient decision-making entity is central to that, in some segments of the population - just as belief in Church dogma used to be equally pervasive.

The reality from anthropology is that there's nothing inevitable about trade or markets at all. Some cultures don't have any concept of a 'market', or if they do, trade is a peripheral activity, and certainly not used as a tool for centralised decision making.

>you can't dictate to people what they should want or not want, because they won't listen to you.

Which is why advertising is such a huge industry, and all governments use propaganda?

It's actually incredibly easy to dictate what people want. What's hard is creating an educated and informed population capable of original, independent, creative thought and high-quality long-term strategy.

Using the many available tools of persuasion to direct the thinking of a majority of the population isn't difficult at all.

If you believe your culture doesn't do this, it's possible you may not have asked some hard questions about how it works.
I think there's more to it than that since the shipping is usually free worldwide, not just the US. I think most countries in the world have an agreement through the International Postal Union to pay by total weight for international packages, and the rate is low. In China/HK and some other places, they pass that low cost to the consumer, unlike the US.

This is the only metric worth paying attention to, in my experience. Whatever you do, your product will end up with defects, you'll need to get rid of them, and towards the end of the project there will always be a huge pile of them. (And, thanks to natural selection, only the hard ones are left. All the easy problems are long extinct.) So why not optimize for this stage? Even if you don't end up turning a time/effort profit overall - which is unlikely - you'll at least benefit from being under far less stress during what's always a fraught period.

And for whatever reason, C++ debuggers and debug info formats don't seem to be doing a great job of keeping up with the language. Even basic stuff like nested function calls (as easily found with any smart pointer/iterator or array class...) tends not to work very well, to say nothing of single stepping in to std::function, or watching STL types, or using iterators or smart pointers in the watch window. So this necessarily means being a bit conservative about which features you use.

(You might have to go through the shipping-a-product process a couple of times before you really internalize this. But once you've learned it, it really does stick.)
My personal preferred suggestion: the Bittorrent Channel for Plex[0]. Plex is, effectively, a media indexing, library management, and transcoding daemon, that also provides plug-ins (Channels) to access virtual media items. In this setup, you have a streaming player (e.g. a Roku) and a PC running Plex--you access the torrent through the interface on the media player, and the PC will start downloading and transcoding the torrent and streaming the result to the media player.

I was really excited about the idea of App.net being a developer-friendly replacement for Twitter, but when I finally got to try it, I was appalled by its complex and awful UI. One thing Twitter does relatively well is be simple. You can write tweets and you can read them. App.net had poor focus and failed to do a simple thing by trying to do a complex thing instead.

If I'm understanding the idea, this reminds me of the processor in my first computer, the TMS9900 used in the TI-99/4[a] computers.

This processor didn't have general purpose registers, it had "workspaces" in RAM that served as register sets. The processor had a workspace pointer register that pointed to the workspace currently in use. This was cool because it meant that a context switch could be achieved by just changing the workspace pointer. However the downside is that RAM access is slower than register access.

> Or did you just try to "solve a problem"?

This comment misses the point. The first goal of a startup should be to solve a problem. Companies identify problems and offer solutions to customers. If you've started a company without having identified and solved a problem a lot of people face, you've already failed as a business. Trying to organize a "community of passionate members" should be considered incidental, particularly considering that the overwhelming majority of successful companies (particularly young ones) have no organized "passionate" community whatsoever. You don't need to spend your free time hosting events to rally people around your brand identity if your product is legitimately good and useful -- and if your product is legitimately good and useful you'll attract brand loyalty organically anyway. Trying to do this in the opposite order by attempting to bind people to a brand that hasn't proven its worth and doesn't actually do anything worthwhile is going to be futile.

Not everything can be covered by science.

Not everything that is not covered by science is bad.

Some of the things that are not covered by science are bad: these include pseudo-scientific beliefs like astrology, religious belief, and so on.

The question here is to do with knowledge and scientific explanation. This is the subject matter of epistemology (the study of knowledge in and of itself) and philosophy of science (how something gets to be scientific in the first place). You are right that it is entirely unscientific but you are wrong that think that as a result it should be rejected. Not everything that is unscientific should be rejected, this is one instance of that. You need to learn the distinction between science and philosophy of science.

A small nit to add: IPv4 did not have 1+ multicast groups per every host. That's a dramatic difference in terms of capacity on the middle-gear which escapes if one thinks of IPv6 as "IPv4 with bigger addresses".

You imply that DHCPv6 allows admin control, but as I understand it, it is not guaranteed that the request (DUID) can be mapped to a known device (MAC) (Type 1 DUID).

Especially with installation media, it is just not feasible to custom script them to force Type1 usage. This makes bringup and configuration mgmt just rely on IPv4 to get an identity.

I'm running into difficulties with this in our campus deployment. - I need static addresses in DNS (DDNS is just dirty, especially with DNSSEC) and also reverse records for kerberos.

I'm sorry, but when you see the huge drop from "none" to "less than daily" in men you know there has to be something else going on there that only happens to be correlated with alcohol consumption.

Yes and no.

Quite a few large environments use SLAAC and they work just fine (though I work for cisco so a bias is quite possible ;-).

But there's certainly something specific to MIT's setup that makes it melt down in such a spectacular fashion with v6. "Forwarding loops" (preexisting?) from the blog raise some suspicion.

The local environment frequently has a huge impact - and for the most extreme/"obvious" cases it took me to recreate the setup in the lab and show folks how it works fine with their config and traffic to make them believe that it was not just stupidly broken - because in their environment they could reproduce the bug every time!

> If you don’t distinguish binge drinking from daily moderate drinking, that would be due to Americans’ addiction-phobia, which causes them to interpret any daily drinking as addictive.

This is a quite common attitude in northern Europe as well, or at least in the Nordic countries. In Denmark it's highly suspicious to drink alcohol on a weekday (especially at lunch), unless it's a holiday, and will lead people to worry about alcoholism. But it's completely normal to have 6+ drinks on a weekend evening. Maybe even every weekend evening. You can binge-drink as much as you want, as long as it's only Fri-Sat (sometimes Thu). In fact it's even sort of expected; not doing so might raise suspicions that you're some kind of weird religious person (Mormon? Muslim?). Not sure how this arose, but it seems to be the cultural norm: 14 drinks/wk spread out as 1 each with lunch/dinner every day is seen as alcoholic, but the same 14 drinks/wk spread out as 7 each on Fri/Sat evenings is culturally normal. Whereas in southern Europe the opposite is more often true, at least traditionally, with weekend binge-drinking seen as more questionable than moderate daily drinking.
I actually thought something similar while typing my first reply. What if they gave pilots some sort of busywork to keep them engaged? But I guess it wouldn't work; as soon as you identify something as busywork, you stop giving it your full attention.

I know what you mean. I think any person with proper CS knowledge should know these things, sure. What is nice about this article is it is 1) short, 2) gives people that know roughly how executables work knowledge about tools like readelf and really basic things like objdump. This is not a deep article, at all, not even in the ballpark. But it can give someone a short bite to see and decide if they want to explore deeper references, presumably linked to by the article.

Agree with you. I have over 5000 notes on Evernote, but I only use its shortcut to write several content(about 10 notes). Now I am trying Weavi, but uploading files is not convenient like Dropbox. Fortunately, I find my files are less and less as I use more and more mobile devices. So what is need is pure content management not file management. If Weavi supports private records, and an extension like Evernote Clipper, it would be my best choice.

I have dealt with MIT network admins who while not infallible are pretty darn competent. If people like this don't know or cannot fix the problem then there is a very real issue with the process by a which ipv6 is taught. It is not reasonable to have a super duper airplane if the pilots you have cannot fly it safely.

The complexity and general human unfriendliness is a major downgrade from ip4 to ip6.
What if a pharmaceutical company invented a pill that resulted in a modest but significant reduction in the risk of heart disease in 90% of the population, but resulted massive increase in the risk of premature mortality in 10% of the population, easily shaving off 10-40 years in life expectancy in that 10%, depending on the severity of their reaction to the drug.

The company could find absolutely no way to tell the two populations apart prior to administering the pill. Most critically, once the 10% took the pill for a short period of time, they almost always ended up suffering the adverse effects.

Do you think the FDA would approve that pill? Do you think any sane doctor would prescribe that pill to his/her patients?

So absolutely, if you are sure you don't have any alcoholic tendencies (and if you have to ask, you aren't sure), then drink a glass or two of red wine a day (depending on your body mass). It will almost certainly improve your cardiovascular health.

But don't expect medical or public health professionals to go singing its praises from the rooftops to a partially at-risk population.

> So the issue isn't that these standards don't exist; it's that they aren't widely understood among users of object-oriented languages.

But we're talking about language design. I think enforcing constraints is much (maybe all, from a certain point of view and definition of "constraint") of what a programming language ought to do. Haskell code is principled because the language is principled, not because of conventions passed from an ivory tower.

Also do you know of any languages built around those principles you mention? It sounds like studying such a language might make OO click for me a little more.
Totally correct. By mystery, I wanted to say something different: Most people will not believe, how little is needed to make a beast out of "normal people".

Apropos science: the EU decided, that in the future, costs of the military will now be accounted for in the same category as investments into science, universities or infrastructure. Thus, countries of the EU can put more money into weapons without missing the EU targets for investments into the future. Sometimes politics can just be a totally dirty business.
> it really depends on what you mean by that. Is Go a certain brand of very refined OO? Yes.

Indeed that's what I meant.
What if the people in the 'none' group can't drink because of a medical condition? Many medical conditions are already associated with shortened life spans, and alcohol often interferes with medication.

They never occurred to me as OO. Could someone explain this?
I've read that doc and other warnings about reverting a merge. But I've found that if you revert the revert, then you avoid the problems they mention. I guess the worry is that you still have to remember to do that, or you'll have commits that silently never merge. But if you do remember, then reverting the revert makes things okay. But I'm no expert. Can anyone else confirm this for me?
The evidence definitely seems to be converging on non-drinking as less healthy than light or moderate drinking.

My question is, why does alcohol have these health benefits? Some earlier work pointed to resveratrol in wine, but there is a lot of doubt that's been cast on that hypothesis and the general benefits of alcohol seem to be agnostic regarding the particular form of beverage.
Well, daily drinking is a good predictor - 100% of practicing alcoholics drink every day after all.

How many users will want to change the file naming or folder hierarchy convention for their music library if they're managing them through a GUI application? Why is there a big list of "visible columns" checkboxes instead of setting that by right-clicking the columns? Does crossfade really need a whole tab for a checkbox and slider (and why does it need a checkbox when 0 seconds implies no fading)? Do people actually use crossfade anyway? I never have.

In short, there's room to clean a lot of things up. Even if it's minor, doing it across the entire system makes things a lot nicer. Plus there are some additional system-wide standardization features that elementary is doing, which should prevent a lot of inconsistency from software from all reinventing the wheel in different ways:
