Here's what I learned from this study of "conflict resolution."

After you use corruption to completely steamroll a small community so that it is permanently and seriously damaged, causing health problems for generations, you can then wait 100 years for people to get tired of fighting you, and for the artificially desertified area to gradually depopulate. Then you can draw down on whatever compensation you might have offered before, by complaining that it is too expensive - as long as you are the 800 pound gorilla, so that you can dictate terms to whatever remains of the community after 100 years of dust bowl.

All that's required is for the victims to develop a "new mentality" and "start listening" to the 800 pound gorilla. De-escalating an unjust aggression (contingent on victims accepting a raw deal because they can't get any better) now qualifies as an "impressive victory" and "proven conflict-resolution techniques." Great job, 800 pound gorilla!
People who have been diagnosed with something, and then pursue alternative lines of therapy, usually manage to use those alternative therapies responsibly, because they are actually thinking of them using the mental framing of "treatment for condition" rather than "fun recreational substance I seem to enjoy even more than other people."

A lot of recreational drugs are fine if approached in a medical context. Amphetamines, nicotine, MDMA, whatever—given appropriately-controlled dosing and a desire to achieve a therapeutic effect rather than a "high", one can consume these substances in a long-term fashion without addiction, and remain "healthy" or even "healthier".

It's the undiagnosed who are the problem. Since they don't think they have a problem (except perhaps a problem common to all human experience, or a problem with their environment—anything but an uncommon neuroendocrine ailment) they don't even realize that there's any other point than the "high" to begin with. They pursue these drugs because they seem really, really good: they get the recreational effects and they help with their problems! And then they get addicted, because they associate a recreational dosing schedule (rather than a therapeutic one) with their life getting better.

> Just because 90% of drug users aren't being harmed, doesn't mean it's necessarily helping.

Why would people use drugs that are not helping them? They avoid substances that make them feel bad. They use only substances that are helping them cope in some way or another. To say drugs aren't helping them is to dismiss their suffering and appetites for release.

That's something you're projecting onto me - I put in the line "Horses for courses, there is no One True OS" specifically to avoid that.

Edit: I also disagree with the comment that OSX is the only usable laptop OS. Linux does require more maintenance overhead, but it's perfectly usable. At my last workplace there were plenty of people complaining about their OSX laptops, both in terms of various problems, and also that their older machines were slowing to the point of uselessness.

Like I said, horses for courses.

It's hard to treat drug use as a social or medical problem because vilifying it is so tempting for evert aspiring moralist. It's as if there was a category of people who were addicted to demonizing addiction.
So are we!

What we learn from animals doesn't make it justified, but it might explain our own quirks. For instance, homosexuality is well-documented in animals, which is a neat counter to the position that sex is only "naturally intended" for procreation. And studying animal behavior may expose evolutionary reasons for said behaviors, which helps us understand and sympathize both with animals and with our fellow human beings. For the latter, it may lead to more effective treatment. For the former, it's just really funny. Because who doesn't want to see a drunk elephant or a stoned water buffalo?

Unfortunately, you need to gain a lot of tacit knowledge about an industry to really solve the right problems for it. That takes time and dedication.

There are some ways to speed it up by talking to lots of experienced people, reading analyst papers, researching, or even shadowing a person in the industry for a week. However, nothing beats first hand knowledge.
An idea I would be interested in submitting requires rather a lot of explanation on what makes it sexy; let's call it 1,000 words.

I realize it probably needs to be a little snappier than that, but the fundamental idea sounds a little tired and not particularly new without some explanation.

There's an opportunity to split this out in the "Idea" section, but really several strands need to be tied together in a specific order. Will it look weird to stick 1,000 words in the "What is your company going to make?" field, rather than something short and pithy like "AirBNB for Bees"?

1. I feel like social and productivity are at two ends of a spectrum. Searc, at least in my mind, is closer to productivity. Still seems unlikely to me that they'd build it from scratch rather than buy someone.

2. Interesting that you think of the stack that way. So you think Facebook will encroach onto Search at some point? What exactly is in the full stack?

And an obligatory reference to Apple, is Apple a different full stack or are they a short stack without search?

I'm genuinely curious--what problems have you had with the VS debugger? It's generally quite a bit nicer than the alternatives I've used.
To illustrate what situation?
Just to make sure I'm understanding how this works:

1. Faces are simply averaged for "Yes" and "No" training swipes.
2. Each one of these two "average" faces are mapped to an Eigen space (where the Eigen vectors are computed from the training sets? or were they preprocessed with some other dataset?).
3. For every new face, the bot maps that face to the same Eigen space and makes a Yes/No decision based on whichever model vector it's closest to (either the "Yes" vector or the "No" vector).

...right?

Not necessarily (getting addicted that is), or even likely

Some interesting studies in that article. Environment and personality has a dominant role.

Rats in boring cage will prefer the drugged water, but put them in a cage with toys and other rats to be social with then their use of drugged water goes down significantly.

And we've seen the same in humans. A significant percent of US Vietnam war soldiers were on heroin, but 90% quickly kicked the habit on returning home to a better place. Likewise for medical patients on temporary strong opiates.

Sure that % of people who do get addicted is significant and need support, but definitely a change in the way of viewing the issue.
Please don't take this wrong. I think what you're doing is great. I like perf too. I'm just kind of thinking outloud.

For example copy/paste and "define" require you to support selecting text on your canvas and then telling the OS about it when the user picks "copy" or "define". Otherwise you get the bad behavior that 99.99% of all native apps have which is that they don't support selecting anything except in editable textareas so if they display an address I can't copy it into maps.

You could argue the browser should add APIs so you can provide what the user has selected to the OS but, it means every developer has to be perfect. Developers who get it wrong end up making apps that don't follow any OS conventions, don't handle the edge cases, don't handle things when running in other languages, etc etc etc.

To take it to an extreme, maybe the browser should just be a rectangle of pixels and JavaScript. No DOM whatsoever. Imagine we had that world. There'd be no search engines and every page would have a totally unique UI. Some pages you'd use the keyboard to move a cursor to select something. Others would use the mouse. Still others might use a joystick. Some would require IJKL instead of the cursor keys. None of them would have native OS widgets. They'd all use a different font system. Most would probably only support ASCII and maybe ANSI at best.

Instead we have HTML and a DOM and most of these issues are solved and that uniformity has some arguable benefits.

I'm not saying stop your work. I'm just saying I'm there are trade offs. I think an argument can be made either way. Maybe rather than going back to a rect of pixels we should also be lobbying for ways to make the DOM better so we can keep the good parts (universality?) and still do better?
It's kind of like a counterpart to Martin Gardner's amazing observation in aha! Gotcha that you can store books with a single mark on a stick (assuming you can measure tiny distances with superhuman accuracy):

It's not physically realizable: people in that particular comment thread point out problems about the size of an atom, but there's also the Planck length, which I believe people theorize is in some sense a minimum size for objects in our universe, and I calculated that there are only around 2¹¹⁶ of them in a meter, so you could only store 116 bits by making a single Planck length-sized mark on a meter stick. :-( :-(

But it's a super-cool idea!

On my Mac I use the messages app for iMessage, Facebook messenger, gtalk and a couple of other XMPP services. I actually tried to have a "hangout" call from someone today -- it required downloading a plug in which frotzed my Safari. I gave up and called the guy back on his phone. He told me that was what usually happened to talk to people outside his company.

This doesn't seem like much of a loss. "Hangouts" is a google+ service which means only ex googlers try to talk to me with it, and I can call them on the phone. I only have two people who try to talk to me with gtalk -- we can switch to something else.

It's crazy that messaging has become so balkanized when SMTP and HTTP/HTML have managed to become so standard. It feels stuck in the 1990s!

Nice. The next problem is finding an SMS service provider with good pricing. Most mainstream cell providers will try to sell you some data/voice/SMS plan at upwards of $40 a month. There are SMS-only services for which you can buy SIM cards, but they're either in the price range of regular cell service[1] or kind of sketchy.[2] Twilio may be more cost-effective. If you have a big volume of SMS, Twilio or its competitors have more bandwidth (they're tied directly to the SS7 network) than a single GSM modem.

SMS tends to be an expensive way to send data. There are lots of devices that send and receive SMS. They're generally things like industrial air conditioners reporting their status to a maintenance service every hour or so. The data volume is thus low. If you need to send more than tiny amounts of data, it's probably better to get a device that gives you an Internet connection.

You're confusing intoxicants with stimulants.
Noone accidentally ran over a kid or beat up his wife because he drank too many cups of coffee or smoked one too many cigarettes.

edit: If you are going to say that cocaine is primarily a stimulatant, You can't even compare the harmful effects/addictiveness of cocaine with coffee or cigarettes.
Funny that you mention corn specifically, because all contracts are not delivered the same even on-exchange! The deliverable grade of corn is "#2 Yellow at contract Price, #1 Yellow at a 1.5 cent/bushel premium #3 Yellow at a 1.5 cent/bushel discount" per http://www.cmegroup.com/trading/agricultural/grain-and-oilse... .

Along these lines, I heard there were complaints in the UK's LIFFE market because excess rainfall was damaging French wheat crops, but even the poor crops were within the exchange's loose contract specifications.

But I suppose this is a bit of a tangent. The takeaway is that everything is traded on a market somewhere, but there are different sizes and standards for markets. Private companies can have some number of institutional investors while still keeping reporting requirements low (IIRC Facebook ran into this limit before their IPO). Ergo, every company has a market cap, but companies with fewer investors/owners are harder to measure.

I can't see why the same isn't true for docker. Rapid adoption leads to growing pains, which leads to introspection, which leads to fixing of issues to create better product.

If you've been around the block, it's hard to see Rocket as competition. There is a lot of sunk cost already in Docker (Amazon, Google, Joyent, lots of startups), if it's not obvious to CoreOS already.. Docker will be the predominant way we package our applications for the next 5-10 years

That was the official word from Microsoft at the time, but Mark Russinovich, who had Sysinternals.com at the time, benchmarked and said that pushing low-level graphics commands (draw line, fill, etc; stuff graphics cards do) across the kernel boundary wasn't a bottleneck. He was critical of those decisions. Microsoft eventually hired him to shut him up.
Having a preference for reading HTML seems fair, though I prefer closing parens to closing tags for short bits, and the JS formatting problem is one you've already got in the rest of your code base. Also, you'll be formatting HTML + JS bits and not just static HTML like in the example. JSX seems like a good deal of machinery to support this preference.

* I can't imagine that anyone is actually using C++ for web apps (are they?!?)*

Google is. They need the speed. Why do you think Google is paying for the development of Go? They need a better language for their back-end processing. 2x slower means twice as many acres of data center. C++ is too slow to write and too hard to debug, and Python is too slow to execute. (Google had a project to speed up Python, called Unladen Swallow, but it failed.)
And me. I think Dropbox is an essential service. I think of it as a complete product, since when I need a file I go to the directory or the app on my phone. Across all my machines, it just works. If google had their service earlier, I might have picked it up. However, for now I will use dropbox and happily pay for the service.

What is with the sentence fragments and jittery tone in that article? It's really hard to read.

It sounds like "deny deny deny" is the proven conflict technique that wins out in the end.
Windows started out as being for a single-user personal computer, and such a use-case is going to emphasise different features than something more security-oriented for large multi-user systems. The NT family was widely known for being more sluggish and resource-consuming than 9x, even in regular usage - I dualbooted with 98SE and XP for a long time, and the difference in responsiveness was very noticeable.

Also, it could be argued that vulnerabilities like these which are only locally exploitable are not all that scary, as a personal computer should be by definition one that obeys its user no matter what. It's a bug, but not a "someone can take over your computer without you doing anything". Maybe it's because I grew up with personal computers that practically invited you to do whatever you want with them and had absolutely no "protection" whatsoever (early 8-bit machines, then DOS on a PC) that I find it hard to get scared or excited by local-only exploits like these.
And, er, nevermind that comment. It's redundant.

Choosing between twilio or this definitely depends on your use case.
Gosms is handy when you have no internet connection, you require total control over the infrastructure and such. Use twilio when you don't want to worry about anything and just send messages. There could be more scenarios too.

Twilio's pricing schemes change per country, for us in India (where 1 Rupee = 100 Paisa and USD 1 = ~62 Rupees), twilio charges 60 paisa per message. At the same time, some tel-com providers have plans that cost only 5 paisa per message. India has other limits and regulations but for personal/in-house use they hardly matter.
That's an impressive segment, thanks for linking.

Ah, I see the confusion; I'm not talking about the Navy sinking a ship today. I agree with that. However, as we get better at sinking ships, the Navy's total capability for sinking ships increases.

This weapon, due partly to decreased per-shot cost, is likely to result in either smaller ships or larger destructive capacity per-ship.

In the event that the USN is capable of sinking every single civilian ship on the planet right now, in which case that doesn't matter much, but if we haven't reached that point yet, then it does make a difference.
At a startup, often duct taping is exactly what you need. It can't be worthless code, but good enough is often what's needed.

You need to build something that will get shipped and work for the next little bit. Then, when you have an avalanche of customers you get to replace the engine in mid-flight. That's the dream.

The scenario where you build hugely scalable infrastructure with squeaky clean code is not the dream.
