I remember having this as a 10 year old watching another child draw something. I always now get it when having an eye test or haircut - strangely, even remembering an eye test causes it. I wonder if that's because I have a photographic memory or something? I would be interested in what is actually happening mentally, with tests done as an ECG.

Some of the videos are "triggers" for me, strangely even the "hair salon" one. I have never been to a hair salon in real life but the quiet whispering / personal attention given causes it.

Unfortunately when trying to explain it this does sound like some weird sexual thing but it really isn't. I think trying to explain it only causes more problems.
Amusingly, trying to explain it to my wife: she said that she gets a feeling when scared when being chased. That wasn't the feeling I was trying to explain - that's fear haha.

Pretty much any language can be used to program pretty much anything these days. After all, a decade or so ago people would have sniffed at the idea of Javascript running on the server side, Python being used in physics labs and anything other than C++ or Perl for UNIX systems programming (a touch of an exaggeration, but you get my point :))

These days the limitation of a programming language is the programmer him or herself.

I have been doing C#.

I never knew about that Ctrl+,. Thanks for pointing it out. I don't think it is as powerful as XCodes, XCode does more fuzzy matching. I think (don't have mac open to check) in XCode if I have a file called ClientsController and I type ClientC it will bring up ClientsController. In VS it seems I have to know I want the plural ClientsController..

You are spot on with your other points though re debugging and syntax fixing. VS is better than XCode in many ways, but I would say not so much that XCode should be despised as satans spawn.
Perhaps we should get them the old fashioned way, by hacking peoples accounts?
Well that explains a lot. I had no idea that this was a thing, although I seem to recall an MP3 I had on my phone which was a "3D" recording of a barber-shop. The whole thing gave me a weird sensation in my scalp as I listened to it. After that I realised that a lot of sounds do that.

At the moment I'm really into Dubstep/Techno/Electronic music - when I hear a song that is really well layered (think Skrillex, Madeon) and you hear one of the lower layers like a tambourine or a tiny synth it will give me the same feeling. I can't explain why, but it's something about it.
It's too complex, we're already have C++.

Like in most countries, including the US, budget deficit is paid with debt, and increase in taxes. That is the problem. The solution here is to uncover the underground economy, make them pay taxes (at reasonable rates), although this is no silver bullet.

noting that this kind of sales volume ranks it as the 13th largest U.S. retailer by annual sales

Statements like this are very misleading. Square isn't a retailer, it is a payment processor. The real question is how Square compares against other card processors, both terminal POS based and mobile reader based?

Alternatively, how much of the market has Square actually taken, and what is their current growth rate? Without knowing pertinent numbers, Square topping $100m after 5 years of operations could be evidence of a damning failure (I'm not saying it is, but rather that we do not have nearly enough data to know).

According to the article:

This new legislation requires every Spanish publication to charge services like Google News for showing even the smallest snippet from their publications, whether they want to or not.

This sounds as though it won't matter if Spanish news aggregators move abroad, because the law applies to the Spanish news sources themselves, not the aggregator. Unless I'm misunderstanding (and maybe I am, so correct me), if a news publisher inside Spain doesn't demand payment from an aggregator located outside Spain, the publisher in Spain gets punished by the Spanish law.

This approach would be a nasty way to do as you said: limit the ability of smaller, alternative news sources, to attract readers. Unless they left Spain, they would not be allowed to volunteer their content to any free aggregator anywhere, and if they DID leave Spain, they would lose the ability to report on local Spanish issues.
Interestingly enough, I found myself searching through news.google.es and using google translate to navigate the local news about impending shutdown of itself. Pure irony.

This reminds me the situation is actually bilateral. Unlike the precedent cases, it will block NOT ONLY Spain but also the WHOLE WORLD to access to a lot of Spanish content. In effect, this is, IMHO, even worse than China's infamous Great Firewall, which is evil but not stopping google to index local articles.
Considering the "current order" is Google News existing and as a result it doesn't anymore, that fits the disruptive tag perfectly.
Ah Silicon Valley's big ponzi scheme. A year ago today a Bitcoin was worth $820, right now one is worth $360. How long until it hits its inevitable price, $0.00, considering it has no value whatsoever? Who knows? As Keynes said, markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent. Marc Andreessen talks about how older people have dot-bomb hangover fears, but nothing screams bubble to me than this modern scam known as Bitcoin. It has all the attributes of a scam as well - the anonymous architect, all the big players running off with the money or getting raided by the police. Yet the big names in the Valley keep touting this worthless ripoff. Plenty of HN'ers are involved in the scam, so this post is sure to get downvoted to oblivion by them.

What we have here on HN is me, who over a year ago when Bitcoin was worth $460 said it was worthless ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6753545 ), and we also have the scam artists who were hyping it then, are hyping it now etc. The potential Bitcoin investor suckers who listened to me would have saved themselves from losing the $100+ dollars on each Bitcoin they bought since the current price is below $360. I've been prescient, they've been wrong, but they're still running their scam and will downvote me to oblivion - they still have some suckers to fleece. The real thing to note is how hard the big names in the Valley are pushing these hashes that they know to be worthless, which has been surrounded by an architect who hid his identity, and multiple ripoffs and police raids. Supposedly the Valley is about people who have insights that others don't. In this case though, the big names and big money have one insight, this is a scam, and try to hush those pointing that out, as there are still suckers left to fleece.

Unfortunately, a lot of what I do with images is constrained by what can be losslessly embedded in a PDF. Even if no influential organisation is opposed to BPG it will take at least 3 years, I would guess, for BPG to become part of the PDF standard, and then another year or so for it to become reasonable to expect people to have PDF readers that can handle it. However, I wouldn't be surprised to see BPG being widely used in 2020.

As a developer there might be some benefits, but as a user I am firmly agains web apps for most classes of webapps (let's say except mail or cloudy stuff).

First of all, webapps almost always screw something up in the UI. If they're wrapped in a native container maybe they scroll differently, they don't respond to some gestures, are missing some menu entires or make other small mistakes. Depending on the user this can be mildly annoying or just strange for them.

Secondly, web apps make customers dependent on something they have no control of. That cool startup might close shop tomorrow and if you're lucky they'll give you one week to export your data. The company might decide to pivot or charge more or a myriad other possibilities and the customer has no choice but to either cancel the service or deal with it. I can give you an example of many iOS users that are still on 7 because some apps were broken by the update - they can do that with apps and we're talking about iOS here, desktop is even more flexible.

Thirdly, speed. Ironically, Facebook themselves admitted that they made a huge mistake by using webviews because this made their app incredibly slow. Your case is almost impossible to believe, and indicates that something is completely broken in your software configuration.
In most cases a native app will outperform a web app, from the UI speed (scrolling, panning, drag & drop, viewing documents) to performing various tasks. It's quite logical, as a native app has direct access to all APIs, while a webapp has to go through N intermediate layers.
It was really funny when they published an article in El Pais comparing news aggregators with piracy and you could see the social sharing buttons next to it including those news aggregators they hated so much.

> For example of confidentially as part of the resolution process in a public organization, see the EEOC's own internal resolution guidelines at http://www.eeoc.gov/federal/adr/resolvehandbook.cfm .

Interesting, I shall have to read more. But that document seems to be about negotiated resolution prior to a formal complaint, and explicitly disclaims any findings of right or wrong - if we're making analogy with the legal system it seems to correspond more closely to the settlement/plea bargaining stage (which is confidential).

> Bu to be clear, you want every investigation of a violation of internal policies to be public? Including things that aren't illegal, like plagiarism, or drinking on the job when internal guidelines prohibit it, or not following the dress code?

Sounds right to me. That would make it easy to e.g. explain to a subsequent employer that the reason you don't have a reference is only that you violated the dress code, or conversely if you really had been fired for major misconduct you couldn't bluff that away. Transparency is better for society.

> Or is there something about this case which is special, and if so, what?

I think the very public announcement from MIT changes things; in the "ancestral legal environment" someone who was fired for misconduct would, at worst, leave town and be able to continue their life elsewhere. But I think in the longer term that's where society is headed - once you can instantly look up even obscure bits of background of anyone you meet, maybe different legal standards are appropriate. (Alternately, elsewhere in the thread someone claimed that this announcement opened MIT up to a defamation lawsuit if a jury wouldn't agree that what he did constituted sexual harassment. Maybe that's an adequate check, and nothing needs to change.)

> You also seem to want an entire new level of government rules and oversight.

Yes I do. I think the angry public of the internet has become a powerful weapon that can destroy lives, and new regulation is appropriate.

> Really, a requirement that all these proceedings be public seems open for a world of pain, and I don't see what the benefit is, given that it's ripe for abuse. If a hundred Global Warming Deniers send 5 complaints each about the corrupt practices of a climatologist, then is the employer (like the court) required to publish all of the false claims and make an investigation?

We have those kind of issues already with e.g. FOIA requests. They don't seem to be insoluble.

It depends on your point of view, I could bring up similar arguments with Chrome. There is still no way in Chrome to open more than 25 tabs without the tabs being so small we can't see them and the Settings page of Chrome is not an example of clean UI either.
I think you should do what you ask to be done. You fork Go under a new name, create a community with the same objectives as yours around it, be competitive and develop the language further and then reap the satisfaction. If there is a significant need for your ideas I'm sure the developers will join you (otherwise you will have the best proof that your idea is just not good enough for many others). Personally I'm very glad and grateful for the product of a tremendous amount of man hours I receive for free even if I too have ideas (that don't overlap perfectly with Go) about how a better language should be.

This article is science writing done right.

All the information is there, but written clearly, without much jargon. A layman could understand it well enough, a physicist can understand it as well (the 'detailed' information hasn't been deleted or mangled by a journalist not understanding what they're writing, just presented clearly). And the graphs they show actually tell you what you want to know. Fantastic.
Certainly, there are valid moral arguments to allow, even encourage, this state of affairs. I was just pointing out that the economical argument that was offered is a broken window fallacy. Refuting an argument in favor of X is not an argument against X.

> how can Governments pay for services that a large number of the population uses, but doesn't pay

What do you mean by "large number of the population"? Most of the wasted money that Spain, Portugal and Greece pay are the interest on the loans they had to take to bail out the banks.
Including having billions sitting around waiting for the banks to fail. Of course the banks say they don't need it, but the interest is almost nil, so they all took loans from that money to borrow to the economy with giant profits. Those loans provided by the international institutions are simply wealth redistribution, from the poorer southern countries to the richer countries.
I think it was Rob Pike who later said he regretted using the term "systems programming" to describe Go. They never meant the phrase to mean purely operating system tools and programs (ie. not web applications or interactive end-user applications), which would be rather limiting. Instead, he said he said they meant it as a language for composing systems, as for example a typical SOA web site may be, or even for application development as you've alluded to.

Edit: Rob mentions it here at 06:50: http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Lang-NEXT/Lang-NEXT-2014/Pan...

This is what happens when you beat and tear gas peaceful protesters. Look at the videos of the Berkeley protest and you'll see the police instigating, shoving students, decked out in full riot gear. They were ready to go with tear gas and rubber bullets, before anything untoward happened.

It was absolutely shameful. They are protesting now not just because of some incident thousands of miles away, and not just because of an abstract systemic problem but because of actual injustice witnessed first-hand several days ago. A man has seizure and the police won't allow him medical care. Beating 19-year olds with batons, chucking flash grenades. Hundreds of people arrested.

You think this kind of thing only happens in the south. But it's happening here, and it's scary and disgusting.
Why won't the job start for another 6 months? Get a good answer to that.

And things can move fast in Silicon Valley. Maybe they now think they honestly need you in 6 months, but in 6 months, that could change. And they still have 6 months to find someone better or cheaper.

The same goes the other way aroundd of course. A job offer now is worth a lot more than one in 6 months. You could find a better job and not be available in 6 months. If they really need you, I'd expect them to hire you sooner. Maybe in one or two months. Some companies operate slower than others, but 6 months? That's a lot.

If I were you, I'd try to fill those 6 months with another job or with freelance work. That gets you money and experience. If the other offer is still there in 6 months, you can still quit the temporary job.

Your assertions are at odds with everything observable with regards to development of the Go language.
I usually think that peer review is broken, but that is because we almost always miss the point of what the actual purpose of peer review is for. Peer review is NOT for laymen. A scientific paper is part of a much longer process of discovery which includes massive amounts of debate and argument. Papers always reflect they very edge of a field where literally the only people who can judge whether the results are plausible are peers because they are the ones who are also trying to make sense of the same phenomenon. Over time some primary research papers are singled out because they really are excellent explanations of a phenomenon most of the time however you have to go look at a review paper. Furthermore peer review is absolutely NOT about reproducibility, it is a prerequisite that says that it MIGHT be worth trying to reproduce this work or work contingent on these results being valid. There are so many reasons why a result might be wrong that it often takes fields years to figure it out and the published literature is a record of that.
