Truthcoin satisfies 8 of the 22 requests: https://github.com/psztorc/Truthcoin

my implementation: https://github.com/zack-bitcoin/Truthcoin-POW

Science/Drug development: truthcoin allows for a new method of funding public goods that is far more impact per dollar than taxes.

Government: http://hanson.gmu.edu/futarchy.html

One million jobs: Successful traders can do it as a job. Every job that involves nothing more than decisions making can be replaced by a trader. Doctors, Governors, CEOs, various boards and counsels, Congressmen, Supreme Court Judges, etc. are all in danger of being replaced by anonymous, potentially uneducated, traders.

Diversity/Developing Countries: It will give modern financial instruments to everyone with internet connection. Insurance to hedge everyone's risks.

Enterprise Software: prediction markets are very unconnected today. Each business has a separate in-house prediction market built. They have to be heavily regulated.
Truthcoin makes prediction markets as available as google or facebook.

Financial Services: prediction markets are a financial service. They are illegal. Use of a blockchain circumvents the law against prediction markets.

My city (or well my old city) Chicago takes 12 years to resurface a road. That's not efficient.
Same on n7. Developer should phonegap this thing and drum up some revenue on the app stores, OSS or not.
Oh, I fully agree. The fact that it's been the subject of so much research and remains only very incompletely solved demonstrates just how difficult a problem it is. I'm just saying that navigating a potentially dangerous machine through a physical world populated with erratic human beings is also very complex and difficult--albeit probably far less so in some contexts (limited access highways in good weather) than others (Manhattan, Boston).

Amazing truth: people lie in real life too :)
Interviews: Ray Bradbury, the Art of Fiction
And this is opposite to real life in what way? Do you tell everyone you know every problem you have? Do you tell all your friends everything about you all the time? Why would a digital medium of communication be any different?
Sweet! I'd really like to know how big the resulting binary for that blinking leds example is.
I am pleased to know that the breakups, affairs, deaths and births I have heard of over facebook did not actually happen.

No one ever gives people the full details of their lives, whether via speech, writing, text message or facebook post, so, perhaps, everyone is always lying.
A programming language is just a tool, it's architecture and design that matter. A competent developer can write a great product in PHP, many have done so. The negative correlation is trivially explained, the startup world is like a big fashion show.
That should be __asm__ __volatile__ but extended inline asm, even with no actual opcode (even if "nop" would work pretty much everywhere) is not portable.
So at this point, you might just use clang/gcc/icc pragmas instead.
Have they visited Facebook, Yahoo, or Wikipedia?
The medium is the message - it's the context that changes the meaning.

Sitting everyone down for pictures is almost gloating; but when you remove the obligations, people's desires to be nice, helpful and curious kick in so they take a look and click like.

But yeah, I'm surprised that companies involved in travel aren't all over social media. My only guess is that it might be difficult to change the messaging from "travel is exciting" to "travel with Xyz travels pty ltd is exciting" because of the industry's commoditization.
I think we need to balance the need for deception in some cases, against the fact that tricking/pranking people is fun, and makes you look cool. There is an inherent ego boost from making other people look stupid and foolish, and that applies as much to the Sokal hoax as this.

That said, there are some reasons why I would be more in favor of using deception in your example:

- Facebook doesn't claim to have mechanisms that prevent deception. It is an extension of social life, and people are already equipped to understand that other people might lie to them. Academia claims to be robust against deception, because of the impact that a single faked academic result could have.

- The purpose of a probe into academic deception would probably be to prove that the safeguards were inadequate. This research, on the other hand, is used as evidence that people are always being dishonest when they use Facebook. It is very bad evidence for this claim. I would object to submitting a fake paper, and using it as evidence that all academics are biased.
rsync since version 3 has stopped doing the full tree traversal It's not in RHEL/CentOS 5 but is in 6, and is really trivial to compile by hand anyway. That's made life a lot easier for me in the past.

Some of the other features in rsync would seem to make it a more logical fit for this task anyway, e.g. it's resumable, it supports on-the-fly compression (though the value of that depends on the types of files being transferred), native logging etc etc.
I know about this author from growing up listening to 'Hans Kloss Misery Hour' who is a Polish student that runs an apocalyptic/dystopian broadcast that has consistently recommended Lem.

I'm going to try to get good at working aluminum before I move on to iron; that's a whole other level. Fortunately I have some friends who are master ironworkers so I will go to them for advice should I eventually get there!
This isn't a research paper, it's an art project. If I saw these photographs exhibited as merely theoretical explorations of the idea of lying on Facebook, I would be underwhelmed. It's the fact that she actually convinced her friends and family that they were real that makes it great.
The issue was who made the political speech and whether it was electioneering (promoting a candidate). Before CU, corporations, associations, and unions could not spend their money on buying ads or air time to do electioneering.

I think the point of this law was to control the effect of money on politics. If these independent expenditures (IEs) were restricted, then campaign spending would be done through the campaign.

Campaign donation limits would further decrease the influence of the wealthy and organizations on elections. Again, these limits exist specifically for this purpose.

These laws just dealt with the obvious: money has a huge influence on how much speech you have, and the only way to make speech more equal is to put restrictions on how much money you're allowed to spend on speech. The laws were limited to political speech during elections.

Furthermore, there is a distinction between personal and commercial speech and election speech, and election speech is more tightly regulated, and always has been. Our system is supposed to be one-person-one-vote, and likewise, the restrictions on speech are used to try and achieve one-person-one-voice in elections.

Citizens United was a bad decision because it extended the general personal free speech rights to election-related speech by corporations, associations, and unions.

It's led to the creation of associations that accept donations, and then produced electioneering materials and buy media as IEs.

I work for the AFL-CIO union, and the leaders at the national level happen to think that Citizens United was a bad decision, as well. They've issued statements about it.
Last and First Men isn't really a story in the normal sense, so if you're quite plot and character driven it can be fairly hard to get through, but the perspective it gives you is like being woken up by a blast of icy air in the face.
How do you handle a goal like "don't eat ice cream"? I'm having difficulty imagining a trigger that would automatically shock you in that case.
I recently switched from magnetic stripe card to chip card and it is far slower to do a transaction... and by the end of 2015 most cards in the US will be chips probably... so I guess this could be one reason.

> "In effect, it will give China access to, and control over, some of Canada’s natural resources for the next 31 years."

Why 31 years, is that number commonly used in other trade agreements? Or is 2045 a special year?

If the next Canadian government decides not to honor this agreement, what could China do (outside of military action) besides negotiate a new agreement? If the next Chinese government decides not to honor this future legacy agreement, what could Canada do, besides negotiate a new agreement?

It seems inefficient to make secret agreements that can be rescinded by massive public opposition once the agreements are made public.

Startups that provide shared kitchens?
My wife wants to bake cakes and sell them, but since we live in apartment, and have a kid, and looking to get a pet it'll be impossible to get a license from Los Angeles.

So I'm wondering are there any start-ups that provide it? I've found by googling the "Kitchen Terminal" in Redondo Beach, CA.

Wondering about Los Angeles, or just about any cities.

Anyone had done, used or knew about such a thing? Please share your thoughts.

Thanks!

Note that the 10^14 figure is only what the HDD mfgs publish, and it has been the same for something like a decade. It's a nice, safe, conservative figure that seems impressively high to IT Directors and accountants, and yet it's low enough that HDD mfgs can easily fall back on it as a reason why a drive failed to meet a customers expectations.

In reality you'll find that drives perform significantly better than that, arguably orders of magnitude better.

That said, I'm still not a fan of RAID5. Both rebuild speed and probability of batch failures of drives (if one drive fails, the probability of another drive failing is significantly higher if they came from the same batch), make it too risky a prospect for my comfort.

The point is, as someone who has been in this position of being asked this question on several occasions for a number of different projects, it's extremely frustrating to be asked this question rather than anything actually pertinent to the project. So if you don't get any sort of answer from the Gravit.io team, this is why you should probably not be surprised. It's an insulting question. We're much more than just glue coders between this-and-that-frameworks.

> they were not best what literature can offer. In many cases they use story as boilerplate to present some technical marvel.

There's an awful lot of sneering at science fiction writing as subpar literature and it's completely unfair. Some of Asimovs work actually is good literature, despite the fact that some is just filler that he wrote because he was more or less forced to by his publishers. I've never particularly rated Clarke, so perhaps your criticisms there are fair. What about Ray Bradbury, or Philip K Dick or Frank Herbert or Zelazny? There are more I could mention too, including some writing today.

Having said that Lem is pretty special. I loved some of The Star Diaries and there's a scene in the Futurological Congress that still brings a smile to my face (sewer rats on hallucinogens hallucinating they're human and playing bridge).

I think the biggest reason for many modern chat services to disregard XMPP is, because they fear that most advanced users might resort to their Adiums & Pidgins and wont use their web-services or Apps at all, resulting in half of the customers not experiencing the UX or unique features and therefore the value.

We had a long discussion in the beginning of the project and decided to make our architecture XMPP-friendly, but release it later in the future, as we need our early adopters to use the system.

So the answer to XMPP is "Yes, but after we gathered enough feedback"

Most of the claims I've seen about Square slowing down have acknowledged that they are dominating the small vendor market but claim that this market isn't proving to be profitable enough to sustain their growth. I haven't really double checked the numbers on this and it sounds like you probably know more than me here but it seems possible that Square is in the situation of having lots of customers but not having the right customers to make their business model work.
Why not NeoBundle? It's easy to use, has lazy-plugin-loading, and everything you could ever want that Pathogen/vundle doesn't have.

https://github.com/Shougo/neobundle.vim

You might say it's not sufficiently minimalistic, but the parent really isn't either and I'd say the lazy-loading implementation has to be a point in the favour of minimalism for NeoBundle
Food trucks are not a big business. If you've captured the entire food truck payment system, you're still not likely to be worth $6bn, especially not if you're taking pennies on each transaction. It probably also doesn't take so much money to manage such a business. I know someone who works at Square and it's your typical high flying startup wasting money on pretty offices, amenities, and other non-business related expenses, all while losing $100m a year with nary an idea for how to ever reach $6bn in valuation. The people giving out this money to Square aren't stupid, so there's probably something we don't know, but then again the same kind of people gave a lot of money to Color, RockMelt, Quora, Foursquare and some other less memorable walking zombies.
> Tested by time (I'm the OP).

This is so important, and so often overlooked.

The lure of "ohhh shiny!" is prevalent in tech. I love to use bleeding edge stuff, play with new toys etc, but that is purely for home and personal stuff. Never for work.

I want my work life to be utterly boring. Nothing breaking. Everything behaving exactly as expected.
I will happily trade a bit of performance and a lack of some shiny features for a system or component that works reliably. The less time I have to spend fighting stuff the more time I can spend tuning, automating or improving what I do have to look after.

XFS performs well. It's reliable, reasonably fast (they trade some speed for durability/reliability), and just works

Also the empirical studies from MIT about group problem solving. They have observed that diversity contributes more than the abilities of the individuals. It's not that the idea that diversity trumps ability in an unpredictable situation is wrong: it's that the original mathematical argument doesn't demonstrate that.

Obituary: Lode Runner Creator Douglas E. Smith
For what its worth, she mentioned in a television show that she got a 7 (out of 10) mark for the project, which was people thought was rather low. The fact is that she does a kind of art study and that the teacher was not all to impressed with the 'art' she created for the project.
I often encourage people to view current events from the 30,000 foot view of Stapledon, but people don't this naturally. Recent events loom extremely large in our minds. To my surprise US policy people have told me that the United States will "never end".

It's almost guaranteed to happen. Do you really think she has paints that can match any material in all parts of the visible spectrum? That's what you're asking for with this hypothetical "green to her, grey to us" paint. If she sees green, she's going to put down green paint. Furthermore, if to her these colors are the interesting part of the scene, it's natural that she'll exagerate them a bit. She's an artist for pity's sake, not a camera.

That's incredibly unfair. Scifi is a very broad category. Some of the best imagines just a small change to the world and watches how people live around it. Some is imaginative flights of fantasy, some is realistic futurism. And yes some is the presentation of technological ideas using the story as a simple vehicle.

Lem is great, as are a variety of other eastern authors, but they're not head and shoulders above their western counterparts nor is the genre lacking in literary skill in the west.

Some travel-related companies are "all over social media". Tripadvisor had some success with their FB apps showing "cities I've visited" etc.

To be honest, it's just that social media already does most of the job for them, for free (travelers post pictures on their own, nowadays even tagging the location or establishment), so why push it?
I actually think it has more to do with dosing the time out over a week. I'll happily commit a few minutes a few times a day to looking at some cool photos. Ask me to sit down for an hour? Sorry, I have to return some videotapes.

That's right, as long as the words are taken from the article itself, such as here, where the first sentence includes the extra info.

Square's value is that it reduces the overhead for economic participation. If you believe that in the future there will be a more networked economy with a larger number of small businesses and individual tradespeople, then Square is a great bet.
