And then, you receive a zip file from Linus that has file.c, File.c and FILE.c files on it. You extract it, and then? They either end up on disk, breaking your case-insensitive UI layer (yes, you can see those files, but can you copy them elsewhere?), or they don't, breaking the makefile that's also in the archive. Here be dragons.

Locale-specific ordering of course _must_ be done outside the disk because disks may move between systems with different locales, locales can be changed at will, and multiple users could read the same directory with different active locales (well, must: one could store a locale for sorting per directory and force that on he user, but that is madness)

Agreed. Many cities on the East Coast have a Caltrain like system in the Amtrak Acela trains. DC, ATL, NYC, Baltimore all crush the system here.

Muni is terrible. Full stop.
Don't do it. They can find out anything. As if they were watching a live-stream of what you are doing. By law, employers have access to monitor anything and everything that happens on company property. Company property, in the modern sense, includes laptops, company-issues phones, tablets, and the wired and wireless networks. They have every right to in-near-real-time perform surveillance of what you are doing.

As for employee IP agreements and contracts, it really only becomes litigious if there are large sums of money involved.

For example, Mayo Clinic v. Peter L Elkin, MD

There are cases of litigation against 'small fish' I can't find references for at the moment.

In most cases, they will go after you with non-compete (which is not really legally enforceable in California). Technically, if the company you work for is big enough - you can be 'competing' with them.
I looked at the data and it doesn't seem to be a voting ring, though it's hard to exclude that for certain. Also the new accounts posting in this thread seem to disagree with each other.

As far as I can tell, it is mostly that a lot of users thought the article was interesting. Presumably it wasn't obviously a hoax to them.

This is so beautiful; I'd never seen it before, thank you.
I love the app but I've found the data feed can sometimes be spotty (maybe this is just in Chicago)? For example, it's snowing outside right now and Dark Sky shows no precipitation for the next hour. Yahoo Weather correctly showed it was snowing (and showed it was likely to continue for several hours, so I parked in the garage).

It would be useful to have some insight into the underlying data, it's freshness, and an easy way to report inaccuracy (I've sent support emails but they've gone unanswered -- I assume the support load is enormous for a small team).
Yes, that's the catch phrase of AOPA's Airport Watch campaign, in concert with TSA and DHS: http://capnhq.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/888/~/aop...

Honestly, that program is more likely to turn up drug running or theft from airports/aircraft than terrorism.

In terms of seeing odd or unsafe behavior, I feel a moral obligation to talk to a pilot I see doing something unsafe. Talk to him/her, not call the Feds. There's a pretty lively debate about talk face-to-face vs call the Feds. While I've had excellent interactions with the FAA at every turn, I've also read absolute horror stories of other interactions, so I'm still inclined to offer a "word to the wise" type conversation rather than dropping a dime on someone. If I feared for my safety or the safety of others, and didn't want to talk directly to the person, there's ready and ample means to get such an inquiry started.

And of course, there are codes (that are basically an open secret) for hijack situations and it would not be hard to encode a message to ATC without using the most well-known code. I don't want to link them directly, but google "squawk codes" and it'll come right up.

> We want to select only the best technical people (i.e. no business guys).

Problem 1: Bias

Problem 2: "Guys" (no feminism here) should actually be "teams" (even if they're all 23, white, male)

> what are the best questions I should ask people in order to gauge their technical aptitude and general awesomeness?

Doing this won't get you anywhere. You are a business accelerator, not Amazon hiring a genius who writes assembly that can squeeze out an extra 2% on their servers.

You should be evaluating teams (most important), their execution (also important) and their idea (least important but very valid).

Personally, I don't think you should be doing the interviews on your own, or if everyone thinks like you, should probably get experienced entrepreneurs to do it instead.

Please note that I am not insulting you or any of your abilities. It just seems that you have an ingrained technical bias and you may recruit highly-talented tech people but most of their ideas are shit and your accelerator will bomb-out soon.

I really want to think that this particular attempt at reproduction is not quite as bad as it sounds, because replicating this stuff can be very hard, depends on special reagents (cell lines, viri, etc. etc.)....

On the other hand, these are by definition high impact studies, ones Amgen wanted to try to develop drugs upon, and they wouldn't have gone public unless they were reasonably sure they'd given them a legitimate try. And I already assume at least 1/2 of biomedical research is junk ... and it wasn't just because I found organic chemistry easy and fun, I switched my major to chemistry in part because I didn't like the ... vibes, for lack of a better word, I got from the (MIT) biology department, aside from my adviser Phillip Sharp (who was clearly going to get a Nobel soon, and from solid research; Lord Baltimore, though ... did not impress).
Question- Lets say you patched this 'too late' - Would doing a hard reset of the router by holding the reset button of the router actually remove any backdoors/exploits? Or is it the case if someone gets root that backdoor will be persistent forever and your only hope is to get a new router? My understanding is that the factory reset only resets the configuration options and does not physically reimage the OS.

"subjective value varies from person to person, and we can both agree that's irrational."

I dispute that it's irrational, on two counts:

First, rationality is a question of how you pursue your terminal goals; it can't tell you what terminal goals to have.

Second, perfectly rational agents with identical utility functions might disagree on the amount they're willing to pay for a thing if their circumstances differ.

I think the above example is an example of both differing goals and circumstances.
There are many startups that are worthless...again, if you absolutely are not selling, then say that and move on.

Except the problem is, most founders have a "I wouldn't sell for $X but would for $Y" and the harsh terms for discussion immediately let the founder find out if CorpDev is 1. Serious not just doing business intel and 2. Willing to pay the right amount.

If the firm was totally worthless then generally no one would be calling anyway.
I'd like to add an example here. Forty five billion dollars may be cool but for me in my current situation, I'd say a million dollars (dare I say even before taxes?) would drastically change my situation. Also, we have to remember that even Google was at some point willing to sell itself for a million dollars...

I love all the Beatles songs where you can hear the guitar amps causing the bass drum to rattle a bit. Reminds me of when I played in bands.

More recently, Greg Graffin's folk album "Cold as the Clay" was very deliberately recorded with everyone in one room. It sounds good.
I can't tell if we agree that they shouldn't have fired the guy. CEOs and politicians are a different thing because they represent people (or are supposed to anyway). As far as firing normal people goes, I'm not sure. I guess you'd want the right to fire bigots, but you also want to protect employees from bigots at the same time.

Shouldn't be too hard to find many american comedians saying pretty outrages stuff on youtube. You can look that up yourself I guess. Mel Gibson isn't funny.

> You can't say bigoted things in this day and age and survive.

But that's exactly how comedy works. The point is comedians don't mean it. Mel Gibson probably did mean those things, but the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists didn't. They literally made a living drawing funny things they didn't mean. And everybody knows that. You don't have to think they're funny, of course, but we as a society have agreed upon that stopping them because of that can't be an option either.

Or that cmelbye has traveled outside the US.

I agree it's not as horrible as people make it out to be, but it is still in a pretty sad state. I've tried moving exclusively with public transport for the last month, but far too many times the Muni bus that was supposed to come just didn't for more than an hour, even though the sign said it would come 3 times in that time. And that's within SF, which is miles better than the rest of the bay area.
It's definitely bogus. I can't dig up anything on this except reblogs of it.

The Chirac video is taken out of context, from a television interview where he says the current state of France as a first world country, and a G8 country comes directly from its former past as a colonial power.

Not a single quote in the article is actually linked back to its source, just to wikipedia pages or websites and not even to a context in the article.

Under what definition of rationality? I mean, the subjectivity of utility is part of the foundation of the rational actor model (and its one of the few parts that isn't a simplification, at best, or contradiction of reality, at worst.)

> Modern economic theory assumes all human beings are rational.

No, it doesn't. Its true that most of the stuff that's taught in introductory undergraduate economics classes does, but outside of that there is quite a lot of work -- even within the broad segment of the economics community that still views the rational actor model as a useful baseline -- exploring how actual behavior in real situations differs from the expectations derived from the rational actor model.

>>I have not done significant research beyond the article linked, which includes no reference to supporting and more rigorous arguments produced by this group.

>So.. because you are to lazy to look up whether they have made good arguments you assume that they haven't?

Because I was at work and had limited time, I was limited to the resources linked in the article, which included a very non-rigorous page which is more concerned with its manifesto and self-congratulatorily declaiming the "mainstream." I also had the content of the conference they were protesting, and the quotes in support of their views.

The conference, as others have pointed out numerous times covered some pretty heterodox views to begin with, and that it was their choice of target as representative of the mainstream implies a naive understanding of what is and is not mainstream economics.

The quotes of the protesters and the economics these quotes represent are not heterodox so much as well-refuted theories, again, as others have covered numerous times in other comments.

>>A rough equivalent would be protesting a physics conference because the solar system model of an atom is not representative of reality.

>No. That would imply that they are cranks and you have no evidence of that. It's like you already have made up your mind on what to think without listening, which is kind of why they have to resort to demonstrations in the first place. :)

I have laid out above my reasoning for not putting merit toward their academic rigor. I, personally, loathe the "economics" put forth as support for popular political policy of the day, so I came into the article sympathetic to the thesis. Every element of the article and supporting evidence I was able to find based on my limited time during work pointed to the conclusions that I drew.

Finally, it is clear without needing further research that they do clearly hold the belief that the following quote is representative of mainstream economics:

"the fantasy world of neoclassical economics — a faith-based religion of perfect markets, enlightened consumers and infinite growth that shapes the fates of billions."

This belief is a strawman caricature of an introductory economics model. To declaim mainstream economics based on this understanding is hopelessly naive and is exactly akin to declaim modern physics because of the solar system model of an atom (another 101-level model which is an un-nuanced but accurate in broad strokes model used to introduce new students to a field).

Whether the quotation above is central to their argument, or tangential, my comparison holds. Further, the case is much stronger that the quotation above is of primary concern to their argument, which only strengthens any critique based on it.

I appreciate your feedback on how to come off less dismissive of the original article.

> As a ultra-simple example: with a case-sensitive file system I can have two directories, "documents" and "Documents". Which one are my documents in? Half in one, half in the other, probably.

That only really happens if you're an idiot who just haphazardly throws documents into any directory that looks like it can still hold files. And it's not an indictment of case sensitivity; you can achieve the same sort of stupidity in plenty of other ways if you're determined to do so.
reuploading the firmware should also work, it usually just reimages the system partition. if you don't know if you trust that you can also go to dd-wrt, openwrt or tomato and once you see that running you know the system partition has been reimaged and should be fine.
