Personally this is just reassurance that Brits are sensible people. That most understand filtering to be annoying and shamelessly opt out.

And I find it hard to ciriticise parents that leave the filtering active. It is perfectly reasonable to try and shelter a child from porn. This tech may not do that particularly well but that is a different issue.
Uhhh, if you've had fried chicken you're probably eating the skin. And as you noted about the Chinese eating many things, I believe its pretty common that they eat the bones. I think bone marrow is common in some European dishes. I'd say the big difference between a hotdog and what we ate a long time ago is probably all the hotdog's nitrates.

I remember getting "Prelude to Foundation" as a gift when I was in middle or high school. The intro to the book contained this list and it was a great way for me (pre-internet) to get a concise listing of the stories in order. Ended up going through the whole list eventually even though I'd read some of them already.

'We Were Arrogant': Interview with New York Times Editor Dean Baquet
Are you sure that its not that the first site they hit which is a false positive causes them to opt out?

ThinkPad wiki is the one comedic false positive I get when I was testing Sky's offering (to determine workarounds in case this shit becomes mandatory one day).
The key point is interpretation and use of the data.

I don't particularly mind CCTV coverage of cities, if we still live in 1970 and technology limits it to essentially manual viewing of feeds to follow criminal suspects. In that world, ordinary citizens walking around a city centre are items of data that are discarded forever as soon as the tape reels run out. Even if they're kept, the volumes of data involved are so huge that they're effectively lost in time anyway.

The world we live in today is not that world. We are not far from being able to use facial recognition to track the whereabouts of every single citizen and save it forever, indexed along with the video recording of them at the time. We already have the capability to do that using cellphones. We can save the entire life history of individuals using these records and collate them into a viewable form near-instantly.

As I alluded to in my earlier post, the way we're going it's not a huge leap to imagine voice recognition allowing for phone calls to follow suit. Why is voice recognition important? Because it turns weeks and weeks of trawling through transcripts into a search query with instant results.

It's a completely different ball game. It's permanent, searchable, indexable super-fast memory. 'Forgetting' becomes obsolete.

In the old world of tape CCTV cameras, my neighbours knew more about me than the Government. Now, it's almost certainly the other way around, and if not, only because they've decided not to type 'stegosaurus' into the Big Database of Everything.
I've heard snacking is actually pretty good at maintaining your blood sugar level. Most people just snack on crap food though, and that's obviously bad.

Extremely ironic that you post this in response to Google search results, which have become a prime example of choosing what's best for Google over what's best for the user after first decimating the opposition.

And so far still pays off nicely for Google, even though the results are getting shittier and more biased year after year.

The only lesson here seems to be "destroy your opposition first, before you start focusing on ruthless exploitation". Let's just hold off on drawing conclusions about SO until another decade.
Making Top Colleges Less Aristocratic and More Meritocratic
Nearly all formulations of democracy are not just majority rule, they also explicitly include protections for the rights of minorities and consider it non-democratic for the majority to vote away the rights of the minority.

edit - This also makes sense from looking at the word. Democracy is rule by the 'demos', which means 'the people', which includes the minority. Rule by the majority is ochlocracy, from 'ochlos', meaning 'the mob'.
Yep. Robert's a crack dev and I found his insights on the issues with Angular spot on.
The filters on mobile were over-restrictive. I think I remember HN being blocked by T-Mobile's "Content Lock".
You're right, it can't do some calculation across all data for a single user or session or anything like that.

I suppose I was thinking that it might reduce "just a little", just adding stuff together as appropriate, but that wouldn't really be useful.

In practice, the way multiple events turn into a single event is that some are just thrown out, according to some static filter rule, or after checking a datastore.

The places where NSQ are typically used is where new data never stops flowing. So sometimes for this sort of thing, it updates a value in some datastore, and creates a new message for the next stage with the latest value, perhaps only if the latest value reaches some threshold, in a scheme where the value decays.
Plus the filters break websites all the damn time. I cannot count the number of times on both hands that Reddit has "disappeared" from the internet, and if you traceroute it it disappears into an IWF box. This has been almost common on Virgin Media.

Then there was that time that they "accidently" knocked all of Wikipedia offline because of a single IWF-flagged album cover (and then blocked the page, and then finally removed the block completely). It did spawn an interesting discussion on the difference between "child porn" and "art."
The scary thing is that, in the context of this app, "privately" means "in the privacy of the cloud, which we have access to".
It's somewhat misleading to look at an arithmetic average of the bandwidth of the fast/slow segments. Due to the way they architectured it, you cannot access both the fast segment and the slow segment during the same memory-fetch cycle, it's either/or. If control flow depends on data that's stuck in the slow segment, performance could be significantly degraded.

Now - blah blah prediction, blah blah heuristics, yadda yadda. If you don't use the memory fully (compute, 4K, etc) there's no problem, and even then you can optimize the problem away somewhat. This will work pretty well for AAA-grade game engines that get special attention - Unreal, CryEngine, Unity. But for memory-bound (especially latency-sensitive) compute applications, what you have here is a 3.5GB card, not a 4GB card.

Having a card show up with 1/8th of its specced memory units turned off is not acceptable, regardless.
Don't know if total ignorance is a blessing or not in this case, but....

Perhaps it has to do with how the animal is raised (grain vs grass?), or how the meat is prepared. Maybe there's something else in their diet or culture or even genetics which helps to offset it. Maybe they are dying of something else. Maybe the numbers of under-reported. Maybe cancer rates are more impacted by other factors, like smoking and drinking, and this is, relatively speaking, a drop in the bucket.

Is it actually a breach? It might be because I don't look at or for that level of specs but I didn't think the "advertising" such as it was included "it has this many ROPs".

There is a line, i think, in what counts as advertising in this case. If the specs that were wrong were not advertised by NV themselves I imagine they don't count as misleading.
I love the idea of recommending how to approach this topic with a GP. We've been a little careful, as described in another comment, about crossing the line of providing medical advice. Currently, we see Pacifica as a self-help tool. We have to find the right ways to do some of this because we don't want to upset the FDA. The truth is that they have the same goals that we do, and we will try to work with them to provide the best application we can, while making sure it is safe to use.

Regarding "privately," we had a slightly different take. Because of the stigma, there are so many people that aren't seeking help. We think that providing an application that can help you understand where some of your thoughts come from might help you realize that you can start talking about this. And ultimately, our hope is that creating a consumer application that is widely used might contribute to breaking down some of those walls. It's a lofty goal, but our mission is to do what we can to combat the stigmas around mental health.

> We still don't really "know" what's good for us, and that makes me want to return to what kept us going during the 99% of the time-span of our evolution.

I believe we (the general first world population) eat much better than a few hundred years ago.

During our evolution we would starve or get scurvy and if lucky would get a meal a day. We adapted. We can eat pretty much any junk and we will survive. The drawback is if we constantly eat exactly the same thing for months, we die.

Compare with today, we can buy almost any vegetable imaginable, meat, fat, protein, exotic fruit, minerals any time of the year. This is unprecedented in human history.

The problem is the food industry trying to make us crave for the next shit so that we buy more and more of it. Who can blame them?

I guess for now the solution is to use common sense, eat a little bit of everything, "good" or "bad", and exercise. As a friend of mine says: "Try to make your body die equally everywhere."
I'm fooling around. I'm sure everyone on the project rightfully will get a ton of return on their investment. I'm actually working on a browser UI myself. It's only because of platform OS integration that I'm using Java, but one thing I did learn using a lot of Kivy is how much of a pain it is to be far from the platform libraries.

Unlike Kivy, which is Python, you've chosen JS, so at least your UI is on a more naturally portable layer given that you have a browser runtime right there. Documenting your plumbing into the system libraries will be really critical. The JS community will hack every other piece of the system on their own, but user after user will shy away from the system plumbing because it's not what attracted them initially, so I would prioritize there.

Writing cross-platform UI's may be a pipe dream for now. OpenGL is headed towards a weird place with Mantle and Metal etc while OpenGL Next comes together. The HSA Alliance (Notably missing Nvidia and Intel) might offer some hope that CPU architectures and graphics API's (and GPGPU) will converge again, but right now, HTML5 with JS is probably the best we have for sheer everywhere.

Probably where I would diverge most sharply (and somewhat irreconcilably) with the web community and perhaps even the high-minded ideals of Mozilla is HTML/CSS, but the "superior" tools I find in Android are themselves relatively new. Do I wish that HTML/CSS/JS would go away? Yes, but without need of burial. A technology will displace it someday through sheer elegance that unicorns had not yet fathomed. If it's at all recognizable in what I'm using today, it's an early stage experiment.

What was called tech in 1995 used 1990s technology, pretty exciting at that time.

Whats called tech in 2015 generally means uses the same 1990s technology with some numerical metric improvements but nothing fundamentally unrecognizable by someone in the 90s, coupled with 2015 business model, 2015 financialization, 2015 art and styling, and 2015 marketing.

Unfortunately both types of companies are called tech. I think the author is basically bored with the 90s and wants 2010s technology jobs.

Wheres the companies doing 2015 tech in a 2015 company? Not, in general, in "tech".

I think my father in 1975 would have been pretty mystified by my 1995 desktop and programming. So you guys aren't running batched punchcards anymore, OK then. Object oriented derivative of C instead of cobol, interesting. WIMP GUI, very interesting despite unproductive. On the other hand imagine how bored someone from 1995 would be when introduced to 2015 desktop, after the initial irrelevant numerical surprises, which wouldn't even be a surprise despite every generation thinking they're the first to ever discover / appreciate Moore's law. Dominant corporate language is still a OO C derivative, although different, whatever. Tired old WIMP GUI still got the start button in the lower left corner, eh?

Thought experiment: if gov programs were forced to be transparent, would they be any less brazen?

Not at this rate. I think officials see the Snowden-fallout and say, "hey, that wasn't so bad. the public barely cares. Yo Comey, hit the press & equate encryption to child abuse; we can win this narrative." Lack of transparency is certainly an issue, but i'd say the bigger one how to make sense of this information to the public.

In the UK? I highly doubt it.

The UK has a lot of wedge issues, like austerity, capitalism Vs. socialism, privatisation, classes, illegal wars, women's issues, train ticket cost, anything touching the NHS or the roads...

However they are rarely what I'd call puritanical like in the US and Ireland. I'm sure it does happen, but I cannot think of any particular moral-based wedge issues from the last few elections.

UK politics is very pragmatic.

I hear you and you're certainly not alone in your disdain for the platform, but it just doesn't square with my experience using it.

In particular I think it is a great tool for startups, as:

- We recruited most of our alpha/beta users over Twitter

- Our testimonials page is full of Tweets like this:

https://twitter.com/jhooks/status/558736048134438913

- We're still monitoring for support and issues people have and jumping in to help (which people seem to really like).
I make you right about Twitter. I think my primary point, and what I read in the OPs article is this...don't let the fear and worry about the tech you're using take your eye off the customers paying your bills. I'd much rather have millions of customers using my app while I work out how to fix technical debt issues, than piss about with my choice of tech for 6 months while the competition takes money off of the table. I love technology, but too often it's a distraction in business. Twitter will have known they pushed their luck on reliability while they scaled, and seemingly got the balance right as it didn't take them down.

If you're interested, here's some more specific answers to the points you raised:

So keep in mind we usually have a couple of engineers assigned to the backlog for Staff Squared. Their time is precious, but as with all things a technical solution is not always necessary, so we will often use workarounds:

Internal tools: They exist to help the sales team onboard more customers, or help the support team keep our customers happy, or keep the management team in the loop and so on. Most of these things can be traced back to my two points (getting/keeping customers) and if they can't then they're nice to haves and can wait. Alternatively we'll ask a non-techie member of the team to run a process manually using what they've already got available. We only create a tool if the process we're experimenting with actually delivers enough value to warrant the coding time to automate it.

Internal features that increase scalability. These do go in to the backlog, and they're things like integrating S2 with our CRM, or setting up KPIs (e.g http://imgur.com/itFzSaO) and dashboards for important info. Again, most of these things can be traced back to gaining more customers because we use the data to refine our onboarding and overall user experience, or speaking with customers who aren't as engaged with the app as we would like and ensuring they stay a customer.

Technical debt due to a lack of foresight in code maintenance is not something you want if you can help it. Having said that, I can't think of a bigger technical debt than complex, mature accounting app written in classic ASP running stored procedures to pull data from complex SQL views. So while we do of course have to factor in to sprints things like performance enhancements, code refactors, or just plain old upgrades to the version of .Net MVC we're using, they're just not as much of a priority as my two main justifications for the cards I include in upcoming sprints (Getting customers/keeping customers).
BY your logic I should be experimenting wit a load of NoSQL databases. Except I can see that in my situation they give me precisely zero benefit over a Postgres (except for some buzzwords on my CV). I can see that many of the NoSQL key value stores are not much different from a Perl hash tied to Berkley DB - I tried that 6 or 7 years ago - it can useful but fairly limited.
Unfortunately there isn't a lot of guidance here. We store your email address, which doesn't have to be an identifier as it can be anonymous, but we have to have a way to communicate with you. And we do ask for a name, but you can put whatever you want.

As mentioned in another comment, PHI is defined as something that originates from a healthcare provider. Some of the restrictions for what we can say the app does actually come from the FDA. We don't say that we treat specific anxiety disorders (we call it "stress and anxiety"), and we don't ask our users for that type of information. But it really is a bit of a grey area. It's something that we're acutely aware of though and are trying to follow all the guidelines we can find.
I wonder if a mandatory national service or conscription would work to pull some people out of their bubble. I'm not in love with the idea in general, but if you can stop someone from wasting their whole life...
We're getting to the point where it makes sense to take a complete, routine genetic profile of every person enrolled in a study, ever. What you're hoping for will more likely take the form of "given your genetics, we recommend avoiding the following foods, in the following combinations, and eating these things at these times". It is also unlikely to take hundreds of years.

"They justify this by arguing that "that insistence can only come from one place: that gender—specifically, masculinity—is inextricably linked to software"."

This justification reveals Joyent's (and many others) misunderstanding of English. The usage of the third person male pronoun is, and has been for many years, considered to be gender neutral. This is the case in many other languages, such as German and French. Sexism is a big issue, but I am not convinced grammar is the place to have this fight.
