Revealing the salary is one thing but i think revealing the monthly expenses is even more important for kids to realize how much money actually just "disappears", into recurring bills like rent, for one to live a comfortable life.

There's a reality TV show in Sweden, called the teenage boss(tonårsbossen), where in each episode the teenager of a family get's to control the whole budget for his family for one month. Surely there's selection bias on what type of family they put on the show but it's quite revealing to see how kids think when they get that much money because they don't understand how much or how little it is. Even when the hosts help them lay out a budget they always always end up overspending. First they go buy tons of clothes the first week, they give their parents less pocket money than what they themselves normally got before, the food bill is always double because they don't know what's normal price for grocery items, there's always some recurring monthly expense that's easy to forget like gas for the car, they don't take into account unexpected events like the fridge breaking down, nothing goes into savings etc etc.

I think every kid would benefit greatly from doing this kind of exercise at least once, at least letting them join the budgeting and let them see where the money goes.

You piqued my curiosity - a quick search turned up an article[1] that has some info:

"Take the Porsche 911. Its buyers are 86.8% male with the average age of 51 and median income of $390,000."

[1] http://www.forbes.com/2008/02/05/cars-sex-signals-forbeslife...
You could easily afford at least a boxter at that price and I don't think a 911 would be too much of a stretch[1]. It really depends on your priorities, though (i.e. do you also want a really nice house/condo, boat, cabin on a lake, etc.) But I would say anyone making $120k/year who wants a Porsche definitely has one. (We are only talking about financial restrictions/opportunities, of course.)

[1]MSRP:

911: $85k

Boxter: $52k

What (Some) Silicon Valley Women Think of Newsweek
>> But he noted that by many measures, Apple shares appeared to be a bargain. “The valuation is still inexpensive,” he said. “It’s less than 13 times next year’s earnings and less than 10 times cash flow,” both below the market average. “Those are very low multiples. They have $140 billion in cash on the balance sheet and they’re generating $60 billion in cash a year. All the numbers are just enormous, which is hard for people get their heads around.”

So would it be a good idea to load up on AAPL stock ?

OK, but in this sort of race, publishing your very latest internal techniques lets everyone else instantly catch up.

If these techniques are commercially valuable and in current use – and I believe they are! – then no leading company, or even member of the leading pack, would want to do a current-best reveal. They all have competitive reasons to do only carefully vetted, incremental reveals of somewhat-older work.
Thanks for the insight. Do you know anything about "downward" shots. That is, bullets that go from the head towards the toe in line with the body. There were several in this case (and a couple in the case of Mike Brown).

Also, why do medical examiners often conflict when looking at the evidence? Is it open that much to interpretation? Are the primary medical examiners motivated in the wrong ways somehow? Or are the alternative opinions coming from quacks?

I realize you may not know all these answers, so I apologize for lobbing them all at you. It is hard to get genuinely balanced knowledge in these things and I want to be as informed as possible.
Apple had the grit, conviction and endurance to see it all through. I mean everybody wrote them off in the mid 90's.

Reddit discloses U.S. government demand for users' private records
Upon re-reading this quote and its source article, I believe he was probably referring to moviemaking at a more meta level; i.e., there's no decision-making process wherein all (or many) filmmakers discuss and agree upon a narrow choice of colors to use across all of their films. As the quote continues, "[e]very film has its own look."

I inferred "we" as meaning a single production team. It makes much more sense if "we" refers to filmmakers as a whole.
But it means significantly more than nothing. Incremental improvement matters, and each success paves the next step toward the big important goals. There isn't a magic switch to just flip this enormous machine on its head. It's a crude, long, and brutal slog beating back the nonsense and cruft built up allowing such personal liberty injustices, and this is just another step.

You can't protect whistleblowers if you can't know about them or the reasons they were thrown in jail. This is a step to getting that information and working on a legal vaccine. (IANAL, but I am a cautious optimist.)

It's a speech. People cheer during speeches. Also, it's pretty mind blowing that they're actually calling native components from JS if you ask me.
Even if you are allowed to reverse engineer software in certain cases, directly taking what you learned from the effort and using it to write other code by yourself is another matter. It's the sort of situation we have "clean room" reverse engineering[1] procedures for.

An automatically testable scenario requires a perfect formal definition of the thing that you want to test. For example, testing "don't do things that cause lots of humans to die" is automatically testable only if it relies on exact formal (nonverbal) definition of the concept of what is and isn't "human" and what is and and isn't "death" (i.e. is a transformation that fundamentally changes the personality 'death' of the previous one? Is a replacement of decaying biological brain with a "prosthesis" that keeps the same personality 'death'?).

We're not really able to write code that defines that - we'd need an intelligence to learn them from the available inputs; but different intelligences (or buggy intelligences) may understand them completely differently. This would result in a machine that passes a test "in scenario X, don't kill jsnathan" because by it's previous version's understanding it's not really killing you but doing you a favor. Furthermore, if you're writing a "dumb-almost-AI" to self-improve into a proper GAI, then that first version is not smart enough to formulate these concepts yet, so it can't check the next version.

Furthermore - can you give an example (a fragment?) of what you'd put in the goal function? Perhaps that can help me understand what direction do you have in mind?
I might misremember the number of columns (could have been 20,000 - also, it had many rows), or maybe the 16,384 column limit applies to xls(x) files only, not to importing CSV files.

Color theory is like a fractal. The closer you get the more detail there is. The Color Correction Handbook: Professional Techniques for Video and Cinema by Alexis Van Hurkman is a great book if you really want to geek out or are considering working in DI. Two particular topics come to mind. One is memory colors which describe the ideal colors people within a cultural group tend to think of when remembering common elements such as grass (greener) or brick (redder). The other is cultural preferences regarding saturation. Seems UK audiences like things a bit less saturated which I now understand is why all my British photography magazines "look washed out". In a the 90's there was a craze for bleach bypass and other alternative film processes. I'm pretty sure the 3 Kings dvd says not to adjust your tv.
> They updated the controls, made hi-res versions of all the character textures, added dynamic lighting, re-recorded the entire score with a full orchestra, and of course made it run smoothly on modern machines

You forgot one thing: they updated the price as well. Instead of costing 5 dollars like every game older than 10 years mostly does, it's 15. But hey, there's no little profit, and they got a lot of free press coverage on top of that just because it was a miserable mess before to run this game on modern computers (Thanks ResidualVM folks for doing their work).

Very interesting, I've not yet ventured in to the BLE protocol world yet. I'd love to see what the Fitbit protocol looks like, they require a special USB dongle just to connect to Macs that already have BLE built-in, yet iOS hardware works on its own. Strange.

My first opportunity to reverse engineer undocumented hardware was Ubiquiti Networks Airview2 900MHz/2.4GHz spectrum analyzer USB sticks, the cheap $39 ones that hit the market back when Wi-Spy sticks were really the only comparable hardware and were quite a bit more expensive. They have an undocumented serial protocol for controlling the device and getting RF power level readings (and the proper info to parse it).

Once I got the basic command set figured out I wrote up documentation and a Python library[1]. Without reverse engineering the device firmware or the original software it was basically blind guessing (and later automated guessing). Finding a new command and being able to put more and more of the puzzle pieces together to see the big picture is really fun :)

Ageism, Sexism, Racism ...

When people want to solve a problem, the problem gets solved. There's no proof for the money/power men that solving (ageism,sexism,and racism) increases profits. So, it takes a back seat.

The brightest minds in the world are centered on how to manipulate the weakest among us. Sounds like a young uncultured/unlearned man's testosterone fueled dream.

High cost of living/High tax narrowing focus even further. The crucible .

Why do the most significant discoveries center around the age of 30? Because, by then, you've participated in the rat race long enough to understand there is slim to no value in it or the majority of products pushed out of it. You've seen failures. You lived through enough specific experiences to be able to generalize. In your higher order representations of the world you've built, you grasp a deeper meaning to life, society, and knowledge and are truly able to give birth to an idea that serves to truly, deeply, and positively impact the world.

So, what happened to equality/diversity/society?
Profits
(A short sighted focus that is most easily ingrained in young males who have been taught that the pinnacle of life is carving out a little empire for yourself) .. 'Some' older men figure out the folly in this pursuit as they do/don't achieve this goal in a timely fashion. 30 sounds about that age when that happens. Of course, there are some of us who never grow up.

Story of the world.
What makes good Customer service awesome customer support?
First, I appreciate the thoughtful discussion. Good points, and it's nice to have avoided Godwin's law in a thread this deep.

> Skype

I fundamentally agree with you. Skype does support way more platforms than just about any service I can think of, especially when you consider Skype for Web beta (http://blogs.skype.com/2014/11/14/please-welcome-skype-for-w...). But I agree that nobody can support every platform.

> Chrome

Kind of true, but not all platforms can or will support arbitrary browsers. Worse, as a user I should never have to run multiple browsers just to use a web app. Extra chagrin here because holy cow this is the web we're talking about, and Google's established a pretty clear pattern over the past year of Chrome-only dev that should be pretty worrying to anyone that cares about web standards.

>shadenfreude

In my case, I decided that I was irritated enough at Google's actions that I'd rather not have Google apps on my phone apps than support their ecosystem. Plus, I genuinely prefer Windows Phone as a platform.

>OOXML

That was 2006, the same year jQuery was first released. Cars and Da Vinci Code were big movies that year. That was before Windows Vista shipped. It was a long time ago. If that's your reference on Microsoft's standards support, it's not the full picture.

>Blame all of them or none of them

I'll blame them all then, but I definitely feel like Microsoft's by far the least bad in this area. I'm disappointed, when I first got excited about the Android platform, I had high hopes that it would be something else. I ran early releases in VM's before phones were available. I was excited about an open source phone platform, and Google's general trend (at that time) of doing cool stuff on open source, open services, open API's. Things turned out differently.

I wonder if CS will evolve further now that ES6 is about to land.
Wizards of the Coast posted a story today that featured a transgender character. I thought, and continue to think, it was a shit story. I've no experience with WOTC's writing, and I don't know if shit is the norm for their fluff, but nothing about the story engaged me, and the one 'interesting' piece was heavy handed; Oh, no, a sexist orc is literally a pig to the trans character and then put in his place! For that, it seemed like everyone I know who plays videogames or card games had posted it to facebook.

I don't know why I'm supposed to care. A demographic with a tiny tiny minority is getting represented? A few years back, being indistinguishable was the highest compliment you could pay a trans person. Now, it seems anything they do is 'brave' and you have to constantly praise how 'proud' you are of their transition, even if they become an utterly unlikable person with it. In my world, you try to build the best world you can by lifting everyone up, not by stacking praise where least praise is warranted out of some form of 'equality'.

Maybe if WOTC had made us like the character first I'd care. Maybe if it had been a bombshell, or something quietly unacknowledged, but it took two paragraphs before it was clear where this one was going. Maybe it was just spoilers; The subset of people who had posted it and their praise told me exactly what the moral was. Maybe if it were treated as just another trait; a birthmark, a minor disability, a past struggle worked through. Maybe then I'd care.
>Greek letters mean ordinals... mean universes

Maybe in your particular subfield.

When I think of epsilon or delta I think of a small number. Capital Delta is a difference. Capital Gamma is the gamma function. lambda is a wavelength. pi is a constant. theta is an angle.

a,b,c denote known constants. x,y,z denote variables to solve for. k,n,m denotes integers. i is the imaginary unit. f is a function. y is a function depending on x. Y is the integral(which in this context has nothing to do with integers)/laplace transform/fourier transform of y.
Right. There are also those color houses that standardize more or less the worlds palette for the next few years. It is not an accident that we all had avocado refrigerators and green minivans. It is a truly big brother industry.

Is interesting but now Microsoft is the more open company and Apple is IBM from the 1984 commercial. Maybe I'm just older, but now at 30 I'm much more of into Microsoft than when I was a teenager(I never really got on the hate M$ bandwagon though). What they have been doing with Azure and .NET ecosystems is great. They have top engineering and research chops; just look at the new goggles and a lot of their labs projects. MSDN is a wealth of free knowledge. Etc.

Apple is on top of the world right now, but so was Sony 2000. Somehow MS just feels more substantial to me than Apple in 2015.

I realize this is entirely subjective.
So that's the real issue? You're bitter that they're charging all of $15 for what's been called the best adventure game ever made?
Renyi entropy, and why this discovery is huge, are the whole cipher / counter cipher structure of modern "Crypto." If we (for a moment) hypothesis that math, itself, is an artiface of culture...then, we see that Lofti Zadeh (thank him for the 'net) and Bart Kosko's math model of the hypercube are still the best proofs.

Eg, to a large degree, Yitang Zhang validated both gentleman's work immensely, as Bart, in particular, first proved that the whole 100% of "Probability," is in fact a subset of continuum theory, aka, Fuzzy Logic. It's the "Probability and the hypercube," model, put forth in Kosk's 90's book. Fascinating reading.

Of course, it could be that, the model is too simple, to elegant to "fly," as we Americans like complex stuff that is far, far out of reach of lay people. It's an academic bias that I, with no degree holding family, simply do not share or partake in. Truly breakthrough discovery can, and does, happen in a lot of places.

One simply needs to know where to look.

Angus Johnson has a reply at http://studentactivism.net/2015/01/29/stop-whining-freddie-d... ... Freddie deBoer makes a brief appearance in the comments. I gather the two of them don't care for each other.

I don't know...I'm a relatively young investor. I started investing in 2009, bought a bunch of apple and google stock. Now I feel like the market is inflated like crazy and I'm afraid to touch anything. Am I being irrational or is it normal to see these types of cycles?

Anyways, if you want my unsolicited stock advice, I think Tesla still has a lot of upside. The way I see it, it has a $25b market cap where as a lot of big name car companies are above $60b in market cap (BMW at $60b, Mercedes around $100b, Toyota around $220b). I think Tesla could easily catch up to them because of their potential for growth. So that's a somewhat likely 2x return on tesla stock if you want to look at it that way.
It depends on where you look. If anything, anime/manga (or anything that is categorized/miscategorized under the Otaku category) are gaining wider adoption in the West by the day, and for music, "Baby Metal" is gaining traction: babymetal.net
