I'm the guy who made this video, so I want adress some questions from this thread. Really interesting discussion by the way, I'm happy so many people take an interest in this film!

Not really family/adoption:

To be honest, the whole history of the Houshi family is kind of a mistery. There was no real documentation in paper back then. No photos, and paintings or such were only for rich people. Yet, the whole town kinda grew around the hot springs and this one hotel in particular. So the history of the hotel and the family is very much connected with the history of the town. That's also where the proof for the Guinness Bureau came from. They wouldn't just accept them saying "yea, we old."

What changed in 2011:
An even older hotel submitted their application.

Also: as far as I found out, that older hotel is not a straight "same-family" business, or at least not anymore. I'm a bit sceptical of that posted source below.
There's an association for family businesses older than 200 years AND still running, and that hotel is not part of that, Houshi is.

The daughters motivation:
I shot this film over the course of six days, in April and in June. When I was doing the interviews in April, the daughter didn't actually know that her father decided that she should take over. I was the one who told her during the interview (assuming then she was aware of it of course). She officially started in May, and when I came back in June, she was much more adjusted. She's actually doing pretty well.
There's also a second son, even working in the hotel, longer than the daughter. but according to the father, he's not smart enough to manage the inn. The daughter is actually much stronger and smarter than she thinks she is. That's why the father chose her.
In 1,300 years, no woman was the official owner of the inn. However, they were allowed to be "temporary owners" until the son came of age or someone was adopted. Yet, the father considers giving the daughter now the title of Zengoro. She would be the first woman in 1,300 years to wear that title. But it's not final yet. I consider going back there in a couple of years to see what's changed.

The first born son gets trained from day one to become the owner. The daughter wasn't properly prepared. Yet, she loves her family dearly and is caught between her love, obligation and duty. For someone carrying the weight of 1,300 years and 46 generations, she is doing remarkably well.
Not sure why the downvotes, its common human behaviour. Its even discussed at length in Carnegie's htwfaip.

To draw a parallel in an industry that went though this process some time ago, in Australia journalism was a male dominated industry and they organised programs to encourage women to enter the industry. Things like the women in journalism awards and press club events aimed at women. In the most recent one they announced the statistic that 65% of journalists in Australia are now women despite this the female targeted events continue.

Once you have these events its hard to give them up and if someone was to now organised similar events aimed at the minority group men the reaction would be very hostile.
China has a long fascination with ivory, and Chinese have traditionally valued many exotic goods derived from animals. China also doesn't care much about the environment or natural resources, especially those that are not the natural heritage of China. The rising price of ivory will not deter people in China, on the contrary, the prestige of many items in china (eg Chateau Lafite Rothschild) is connected primarily to the price of the items.

Gah! I'll keep trying to see if I can reproduce. I really appreciate you finding something deterministic, though! This bug is slowly driving me mad.
Any chance of releasing the training data you used? Also what are the plans with DeepSpeech? Just for use by baidu or will it be released as open source or a developer api service?
Right, my mistake. In my native language "insect" is common name for any bug.

"Some arthropods are delicious" then.
Not sure what it is, but I have the same reaction when it comes to diet sodas -- with the exception of Dr. Pepper. Not sure if it is the additional spices in it or not, but a number of times I didn't realize I was drinking the diet version.
Yeah, there's already an issue to track that (https://github.com/ianyh/Amethyst/issues/129), but in general it seems like people want more flexibility in defining how they want things to tile.
While I understand what you are saying, it isnt a fair assertion as some men are very much on fire not every male has the same perceived privileges afforded to the "straight white male" stereo type.
You can spin up hypotheticals until sundown if that helps you feel good, but I would be a lot more interested in the conversation if you even pretended to address the point I raised. It wasn't that discrimination is fine, it was "the existence of things not aimed at you does not ruin your life"

Higan SNES emulator “dead for now”; author moving on to other pursuits
To be honest you're just arguing semantics as Blink is a fork of the same webkit components that Chrome was using previously. So little has changed from a rendering perspective.

Given the amount of redundant code in webkit due to Google and Apple pushing the library in slightly different directions, it does make some sense to fork it. And it's really no different to Apple forking webkit themselves (webkit2).

However when the forks diverge more in the future, your point will be more relevant (just as the difference between kHTML and webkit is now quite pronounced).

In any case, I did reference Blink in my first post. So your point isn't lost on me :)
Check out Spacemacs. It tries to be just this: Emacs with a lot of plugins out of the box, sane keyboard shortcuts and Evil integration if you want it.
>Those people are obviously uninsurable.

...if they were born to parents who had insurance they would have been covered.

>So health systems that don't leave people to die must involve an element of the collectivisation of risk.

...insurance is all about collectivisation of risk, is it not? You are paying in, hoping to never collect, and the money you pay in is used to cover those who did need it.
Magic Moments and the Big Screen, with Microsoft Xim 1.3
Wishing for ultra-fast delivery with no tipping is NOT the same as wishing for tipping to go away altogether.

Tipping is helpful when there is likely to be a high variation in customer service.

In a small-item delivery scenario the customer-vendor interaction is 0-15 seconds. How much tipping variation do you expect there to be?
I definitely think that those are good things: keeping order in a physical space when tensions are high and people's lives and livelihoods are at stake is no small task. But, I do believe that respect for tradition for the sake preserving this specter of a sort of "national respect" for the judiciary is misguided, possibly bordering on fetishization. I'd rather see that energy and same devotion used to make courts a truly public element of government that an average person can understand. Tangibly, I'd like to see people not dread going to jury duty and/or have a good understanding of what to expect before they go. I think that discarding some of the "courtroom mystique" would go a long way towards that.
Nobody is arguing that adoption per se isn't the same as "the same family". The practice being described here is that the adoption is specifically adopting someone _because_ they're going to be the next owner of the business. I'm sure you can see that there's a salient difference between your case of adopting to build a family vs the case here of a 65 year old guy adopting his 50-year old successor as part of a tradition of that business.
I have an Android phone that's not rooted, an Acer. Turning off shutter sound is in the camera settings, it's one of the first things I do with a camera as I prefer natural photos of family to posed ones.
I'm not sure how I feel about programs phoning home like that. I tolerate it with apps, but command line tools ought to be doing their stated function when run.
Is it? If they have a large publisher network, they can cross-promote within their apps. The only reason to pay a high rate for an install ad is to gain access to the audience you don't have.

I hope this and this [1] finally get Google to stop giving in to the MPAA and "going beyond and above the law" to meet their requests, as if MPAA will ever be satisfied without having a Great Firewall of America and the kind of control the Chinese have over the Internet.

I also hope Google finally understands that any, and I mean ANY (yes, even the child porn filters) sort of "censorship infrastructure", can and will be used as an excuse to force or at least pressure them to censor more - always more. So from now on, Google should be extremely careful about what kind of censorship requests they fulfill.

I have been in the workforce a long time and never noticed people talk more about woman behind their backs then men. Source on some research in that area?

So you are saying woman should be more concerned about their "reputation" then men? Sounds a little sexist to me... Hint, if you are going to give advice maybe you shouldn't involve gender when it is irrelevant.
You're right.

Also, the absurdity of expecting facts from a comedy show has been brought to my attention just recently. All in all, what a great first comment on this site ; )

Anyway, I'd argue there is an obvious atmosphere of disgust. The voice-over before the first interview segment states her philosophy amounts to being a selfish asshole.
See the relevant part of the interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFy9A7WEzPA#t=104 from 1:45 to around 3:40.

The net result is the impression that everything she's saying is basically bullshit. It seems to me that it's considered unacceptable to refer to her ideas.
For context, see http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2011/08/accuracy-takes-power-o... about higan (formerly bsnes).
Stereotypes of French waiters aside, service is just fine in Europe. (Speaking as a former resident with very fond memories.) Tipping is just a way for American employers to rip off their most vulnerable workers.

Tipping is a truly toxic practice, and it's a burden on customers as well. Why would anyone want to be assigned extra work to evaluate how unhappy they are in order to calculate how much extra they should pay?
Or those that can create a pico cell that your phone connects to and then MITM your call. I gather the equipment is pretty accessibly priced now.

A more accurate headline might be that meditation appears to ameliorate genetic damage associated with stress. But I guess that's less surprising, exciting and clickable than implying that meditation causes Lamarckian inheritance.
Maybe, but not because they're men.

I'd love to see more people from blue collar backgrounds in tech, since I think we have much more in common with carpentry than we'd like to admit. Men fit within that venn diagram of exclusion. But not because they're men.
If we did that, they would also be governed by things like federal drug law and tax law. It does not seem desirable to apply the same rules both to citizens and non-citizens.
Yes, I have. Japanese customer service wipes the floor with US customer service, and they'll run down the street to return your "forgotten change" if you attempt to tip in a restaurant.
And by the Streisand effect, they got even more focus than they ever would have if they'd just let it play.
Which do I want more? That is a good question, will have to ponder that. I see value in both at this point. I see what you're saying about stress though, startups and a PhD are both very stressful, which is why I'm trying to use this time to research stuff for my future startup.
Thanks for the advice!
Thanks to Safari, I'm now several chapters into the book and it's perfect for me - thanks :) It was the ops side of things that was the biggest sticking point for me, although it seems like it'll dig into the JSONB stuff later on too.
Can people who meditate point to good resources on how and where to start? Books, videos, blogs etc.
It seems like the conspiracies regarding the power of the oil industry may be becoming a myth. Hail the future
> I don’t think your assumption holds for repeat interactions.

I would agree with that. However, I don't order enough pizza to be a "known" customer. If I had a rapport with a particular service vendor, I wouldn't mind tipping up front, provided that they have demonstrated a consistently high level of service prior.
This seems very similar to SQRL.... https://www.grc.com/sqrl/sqrl.htm how much does it differ?
Sr Android Developer – APN – Oakland, Ca
We're on the search for a Sr Android Developer to join our team at our new office space in Oakland (1/2 west of the 12th St. BART)!

Please shoot me an email at marc.lipkin@ask.com, if interested in discussing further.

If this role, we’re looking for someone with strong Android mobile and UI experience. We are a new team. Our engineers innovate constantly and strive to ensure that each individual’s talent is recognized and utilized. We rely upon each other to learn, grow and outpace the competition.

As an IAC company, APN is part of a family including many of the most successful media and Internet brands in the world, including Match.com, Vimeo and About.com.

What we’re looking for:
-BS in Computer Science or similar technical degree
-3+ years developing and shipping high-quality Android applications, strong UI experience.
-In-depth understanding of the Android SDK and its apps development ecosystem, including subtle differences between OS versions and leading manufacturers implementations.
-Experience developing and supporting reusable Android components impresses. Write well-abstracted, reusable and efficient code and correctly employ object-oriented design patterns.
-Sample code/app for review (which shows an understanding of android, something UI intensive would be great (custom views, animation, etc.)).
Gah. Incidents like this makes me frustrated OS X doesn’t have a solid package manager like APT.
I'm sorry for your mental illness. However, I feel like you would be insulted if I avoided replying to you because of it, so I won't.

I think you must be doing really well for someone who is passing as someone without mental illness, so that it probably why you believe people don't notice it. However, my bet is that it leaks through, and there is something off about your behavior that you can't pick up on. Just because you're mild-mannered doesn't mean that there isn't something that rubs people the wrong way about your behavior. I've worked with a lot of people who were mild-mannered who behaved strangely and caused people to not like working with them.

My bet is that this is likely the reason why you aren't getting job offers, as opposed to age. Because you are doing so well as someone passing as someone who doesn't have mental illness, you are probably hardcoded to believe that that's not the reason, but I would revisit that belief.
Postgres is about to be the new hotness. I mentioned to our hosting provider that we were looking into moving our in-house Oracle and MySQL to Postgres (off Oracle because it's expensive, off MySQL 'cos it's shit) and he said more than a few customers were looking into this precise move.

We're just getting into PG now, and it's just really nice to set up and use. I really wish more web stuff properly supported PG and didn't pretty much require MySQL.

A bit of a plug. If anyone is interested in playing with (doing research on) SS7 vulnerabilities, a few years back (five) I've participated in building a pretty cute test toolkit that allows one to sent/receive/parse/play scenarios using SS7/C7/3G/CDMA/.../SCTP/SS7 over IP/... packets on any level of the network. The list of supported protocols is available here: http://www.linkbit.com/platforms It follows standards and usually implements 100% of the protocol (including conditional constraints, etc). But also allows one to 'break' stuff and send custom/unsupported/broken fields.

It is pretty cute, you can do most of the stuff just in the visual packet editors / flow editors and where necessary revert to python snippets.

To get the feel of it, and see some pics: http://docs.linkbit.com/

edit: and basically yes. as a protocol engineer and somebody very familiar with SS7/C7/GSM/.., once you have the access to the network (which can be done over IP!) I wouldn't be at all surprised, you could misuse it.

??? I was referring to the original comment which was about things said to one's face. It was icebraining that was concerned about things said behind one's back.
I don't really want to be a prof, I'd rather be in industry. I like making things too much :)

I see value in doing the PhD though, so it might very well come down to one off the other.

The timing of the startup is going too be really important, so that will likely drive things.
Thanks!

This is really a good way of approaching computer science theory of programming language. For example, i remembered there was something really nasty with javascript closures, and was surprised he didn't mention it. Then i went and look at what it was really that sometimes bugged me, and just realized it was just a combination of heavy closure use together with function-level variable scope (rather than block based), that sometimes made you need to wrap the content of a for loop in an a anonymous function, just to capture the current state of the loop increment.

Really interesting talk.

That was exactly my reasoning for Wikipedia's donation request: "if everyone reading this donated $3, we'd be done." "OK, well, I'll pay for 10 people then".
You make it sound as if that is some kind of security revelation. In reality, what you are saying is 'the light is controlled in software'. Which is just another way of saying "that light is just a light, and it has only a tenuous connection to the camera being enabled".

Which is of course an utter joke.

Implementation is obviously bloated and I was also taken off with this manual desktop-like micromanaging.

The team is already working on seeing what we get with CH. We'll let you know where we land. But your results are definitely impressive. We love to see new published innovation in the field. Kudos to the team!
What is missing in all this are real checks. People need to be more blacklisted. Every person that seems suspect or that have done something slight bad to you should be denounced publicly in a way that can be verified and consulted later.
If animals evolved independently on mars, it probably means the universe is full of life and that animals have evolved many times before on other worlds.

If so then we should expect many of those worlds to evolve intelligent life, and some of those worlds to still be around in the present day and colonizing, building stuff, or possibly even contacting us.

And yet there is no sign of any intelligent life out there despite intense scientific effort to search for it. This increases the probability of the hypothesis that most intelligent life goes extinct, which means we will probably go extinct.
I think people are getting confused about whats being spoken about here, this isnt a discussion about women being in tech this is about women being founders in tech.

Being a founder is a very small % of the total people working in tech, what I am saying is there are plenty of people from both genders that could benefit from same sex networking functions, I am not arguing against the female targeted events.
1. So then the problem they had was they didn't get the performance they expected since the benchmarks were done with different settings to juice the numbers? There is no upside to arguing this one, Mongo loses one way or the other. Can't play them both.

2. I haven't seen anyone say that Mongo scales in an unlimited fashion. You said that. I think what they might be saying is that it doesn't scale well enough to pay for the trade-offs from using it. If you aren't running a system that can be composed of somewhat-interrelated documents, you're gonna have a bad time.

To further eliminate the possibilities of confusion, at least in Washington state, there is a state-wide retail sales tax, and there are additional sales taxes based upon the city or county where the transaction occurs. There are over 400 different taxing regions in Washington state.

This looks like nothing more than spurious correlation. Even if rates of autism and levels of air pollution are found to be correlated, we cannot infer that they are causally related. Another factor correlated with air pollution could actually be causally linked with autism.
