American Mormons seem to use religion in fairly constructive ways - choose pretty much any social indicator, and they drastically outperform nearly any other group at a similar income level.

Realistically, most of the violence perpetrated by religion these days is done by a subset of Islam. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any attacks comparable to 9/11, 26/11, Baga or similar that were perpetrated by anyone besides Islamists. A quick google search finds an article on Daily Beast which purports to disagree, but can only come up with a small number of minor attacks.

I created a bastard.
I get the criticism because I imagine most of us work in a field other people do not understand the complexity of and would like to over simplify. However, I would rather they have a cursory understanding of what I do, what problems I am trying to solve and the challenges I face than have none. I feel the same about many areas. I think that environmental change is a problem, but I can do little to actually solve the problem other than attempt to understand it and influence policy with my votes or money. I am interested in various scientific fields, but hardly an expert, so I follow them at a surface level. It's not perfect, but I think it's better than nothing.

This isn't a Lenovo issue, its a larger Windows OEM issue. HP, Dell, and the rest are guilty of the same sins. When is Microsoft finally going to reign these guys in? I'd love an Apple-like experience of just booting up into a standard OS and not worrying about various faddish and profit seeking applications pre-installed on my machine. If MS wants to make Win10 the next XP, they need to control these OEM's.

Chinese acquisitions of US tech companies rarely works out. They just two very different business cultures. Sadly, Lenovo also bought Motorola's mobile division, so we can expect more of this treatment with the next batch of Motorola phones. The same way they ruined the thinkpad brand - they'll ruin the Moto brand.

A pretty interesting story about job titles and descriptions that are not representative of the job they're trying to hire for.
People get called unfunny names regardless they actually have sex with someone.

And no, I'm not assuming that men are incapable of being genuinely interested in a woman. To the contrary, I have no reason to think otherwise. It's just that a funding meeting is not really the appropriate venue to express such interest, just like it's better to wait until one has reached the toilet before expelling fluids in excess.
No, I was talking about iterating over an array of objects calling their virtual functions (or either of the additional cases listed above). Of course it's easy to "do the right thing" with homogeneous arrays, either in the compiler or by hand if need be. But if you're iterating over a homogeneous array, calling the same virtual function on every single one, and your compiler somehow manages to notice this before you do, you probably screwed up in your design somewhere, so that's not the kind of problem I'm talking about.

It usually is smarter for performance to do the "data oriented design" thing and break the heterogeneous arrays into separate homogeneous arrays, so that you can potentially avoid a few levels of indirection, hoist loop invariants out, and maybe even make use of SIMD. But the whole point of the conversation was to talk about a nontrivial abstraction that (supposedly) trades performance for clarity. So I gave a scenario that would exercise that overhead.
Amazon offers subscription services for many products (including windshield wipers). You set your schedule, you get an email, and you delay or cancel any time.
I think he refers to the fact that any OEM installation, any installation you yourself don't do from scratch, will always be full of crap.

So like he said: Redeem the OEM Windows license, install whatever you want, maybe actually Windows, from scratch, and you should be happy.

I just bought a Carbon X1, nuked Windows and installed Ubuntu. Not sure if I can redeem the Windows-bit or not, but I'm definitely not plagued by crapware anymore.

"Managed VMs" is a service offering within Google App Engine that lets you use any runtime (e.g., Python, Node.js, Go, C) but get the benefits of the GAE PaaS auto-scaling, versioning, etc.

It actually works by shipping a docker container to the Google Container Registry (privately scoped to your project), spinning up a "VM" that shows up in your Compute Engine instances list that you can then SSH into if you want (this is why you're both right; they call it Managed VMs, it shows up in your GCE instance list, but they literally are, I think, running your docker container, probably with Kubernetes under the hood).

I've hitchhiked around 1000 miles in Europe without any problems. I love the experience of meeting, chatting and sharing stories with complete strangers. Most of hitchhiking riders used to hitchhike themselves, so they have a lot of stories to tell, and it's easy way to find out about local culture.

When I've been on a trip to western Ukraine 3 years ago, I picked up a female teacher, which was commuting to her school by hitchhiking every day.
Strange that it's easier to hitchhike in poorer rather than richer country.

The arguable reason the web exploded in the first place were the architectural principles behind it were intentionally constrained to enable 50+ year sustainability and recombination for apps built within its architecture.

This isn't so much about plain-jane HTML pages (useful as they are, since they have a simple interaction model than many understand and enjoy). It's more about using and exposing data in a visible manner (known formats and semantics) and hyperlinks rather than a single page app with opaque data. This gives you network effects.

Think about the minor uproar over hash-bang URLs around 5 years ago, Twitter being the primary offender. That was single page application oriented rather than hyperlink orientation. There is a reason they've moved away from that.

In the 90s, Google or Yahoo was just something students did with the links that were out there - that eventually generated hundreds of billions in value because of network effects and visbility of the information in HTML (Ie. They could apply algorithms to it like PageRank).

The point of the web architecture is that it enables serendipity. Most anyone who has had massive success in business will explain the role of luck, serendipity, and network effects in their rise.

Designing a web app for today's paycheck by closing it off behind a WebSocket+ JavaScript mess eliminates a proven avenue for network effects. Sometimes that might be OK, but it's unnecessarily limiting for many kinds of ventures.

Sure, maybe there were rare situations where this happened but the truth is that before prohibition there were more breweries than we currently have even today[1]. These breweries were in larger towns and they cooperated with farmers in a tightly nit ecosystem:

grain from farmers -> make beer -> spent grain back to farmers to feed cattle

I fail to believe that "competition" was a problem because the infrastructure required to distribute beer far enough to kill the competition did not exist. Yes, perhaps the brewery and bar were owned by the same person and they didn't allow the competition's beer, but there were no laws stopping the other brewery from opening their own bar.

And the fact is that today every brewpub I've ever been to has guest taps and beer from other breweries. I've never been somewhere that refuses to sell anything but their own.

The real problem today is that thanks to the three-tier system being completely controlled by MillerCoors/InBev it is VERY difficult to get your new product into bars and stores. The documentary Beer Wars[2] covers this very well -- better than I could in this posting.

tl;dr three-tier may have served a purpose 75 years ago, but it has been holding back competition and hurting consumers for at least 50 years.

(At one point large towns also had their own local mayonnaise, too!)

testing seems to be somewhat of a niche field. Using manual unit testing and random testing gets good results and seems to be the standard. But, you certainly could not devote an entire semester course on them.

Beyond that, more advanced program analysis techniques, such as model checking and abstract interpretation, use some tricky math and don't seem to be widely used outside of some niche fields (critical software).

Testing in VLSI design seems much more commonplace (people usually attribute this to the Intel bug). I don't know how much hardware design is done in a typical CS degree.

I wrote what I wrote not because I thought you'd disagree with it, but to make understandable why he is so energetic.

He speaks about dangers a lot of people ignore unwillingly and some willingly because they get rich by doing so. [1]

If you see a fundamental threat in doing a thing and everybody is ignoring your warnings, then it's natural to start to speak more drastic and alarming.

Having this in mind, I think he is a terrific speaker.

He speaks fluently and easily understandable. The presentation was creative and informative. He seemed to speak what he thinks, honestly and openly.

I didn't agree with all of what he said. For example, the connotation of the word "start-up" he suggested is non-existent to me.

His talk was still one of the most interesting I listened to in a long while. And, I don't see why it was elitist or disparaging.

He complained about dangerous power imbalances in the world. About the fact that mostly white people try to bring their vision of a modern society into other cultures.

Can you quote problematic parts?

[1] This needs to called out, and he did. People are ridiculously blind to injustice and dangers when they profit by it.

It's an arbitrary threshold, but seems like a good point in the life of a company where it transitions from a small company to a larger one, where you need to start making various informal policies and company customs and values more formal.

don't forget though, AOL owns TechCrunch, Engadget, Huffington Post, and a bunch of other crap, and they have a pretty massive ad platform. Id wager that the ad platform is what Verizon is really after here.......and maybe a nice bonus would be controlling huffington post and getting them to stop writing articles about how shitty comcast/verizon/twc are and how net neutrality is a good thing.....but that is just me being a bit speculative

I wanted to say "thanks" to the Jython team. I've been using Jython for a few years for a project (called STempo) that uses Java and Python. Jython has been a great bridge between them, we have run into a number of issues in the project but Jython has always been solid. The senior faculty on our project knows Python but not Java and she can happily develop in CPython and it always works fine when I bring it into Java-land (assuming no dependencies written in C have crept in). Bravo and thanks!

We wrote our scraper to use phantomjs via the selenium.webdriver interface in python 2, simply because for something like 80% of the sites we extract information from, the data was not fully available unless we could render the dynamic parts of the page. I am not at all surprised that Google's bot is executing js. I have assumed they could do this for years now.

As for pure html front-ends, I understand the attraction, but when a single js-based implementation gets you consistent behavior and presentation across all browsers and mobile devices the advantages are pretty huge.
What is this exactly? As a general warning, I don't sanitize or otherwise modify the shared content, so any sorts of badness could be there.
The case I had in mind involved enabling a drug addict to get more drugs. The only gain was that the addict became less unhappy for a time.

Anyway, I propose that given that humans (possibly barring autistics etc) operate by building models of the minds of other people inside their own head, if a person does something based on that model to help the modelled person become more happy, it's a selfless act - I can quite literally create a model of someone else inside my head, calculate how to make them happy based on that model, and then do it. I'm not modelling how I can make myself feel good, or modelling how I'll look like a big man for helping someone; I'm modelling another person's emotions to work out how to make them happy.
Because the browser landscape is completely different in mobile? There isn't really any reason not to separate them. They're completely different markets.
That's really cool. Thank you!
Leaving a 1-year-old is typically a very different thing from leaving a 3-year-old to day care. And, even at the same age, children are different from each other.

My own kids are now all adults, but I remember how heart-breaking it was to leave a two-year-old to a day-care place where she did not want to stay. She'd cry all the way when going there, and stick to hug my legs "please don't go" though she could barely speak. It wasn't good.

Later on, she and younger brother were perfectly happy in another day-care place when they were a bit older.

Also, my daughter was all the time sick in her first day care place. She'd pick every infection there ever was around and we had horrible days with day care, horrible evenings queuing in the health center, and horrible nights without sleep. The daughter just had weak resistance as a 18-month-old, but was much stronger when she was 5 years.

My younger son on the other hand enjoyed day care tremendously from the very start, but he only went there at age of 4.

I would say that

1) there is variance in children, as individuals (some of them are naturally more dependent on their parents)

2) there is variance in day-care places (the first one we had was run by the council, the staff was inexperienced and they compensated for their insecurity by being rude; the other was a private one subsidised by the council, and the staff was really nice -- others have reported things being the other way round with very nice council-run places, so I conclude just that the human factor has a big impact).

3) there is variance in parents

(These experiences from the Finnish system which provides very extensive and affordable public service by North American standards).
In fact, I don't think the max number ever rolls (e.g. http://roll.space/?dice=300d6 never produces a 6).
Like Techcrunch or Huffington Post?
> But I don't think it actually calls for killing people practising other religions. (In the new testament, that is) Does it?

Luke 19:27:
But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.

As well as Matthew 10:34:
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

I'm not sure why you want to split the old testament off from the new testament. When we see condemnation of homosexuals by some Christians the Christians are usually making reference to old testament quotes. (Substitute "homosexuals" for children (because some christian sects promote beating children) or women (ditto) to see other appalling behaviour defended by Christians making reference to the old testament.

It's a bit odd that I got downvotes for countering someone saying that Christians don't kill members of other religions by giving two examples - one still happening today - of exactly that; exactly Christians murdering people from a different religion purely because they were members of another religion.

Christianity has, since the 5th century, had the concept of "Just war". So, even if it's not in the Bible (but it is, there's lots of it in the old testament) it's bene part of the faith for 1500 years.

It's a great language. Back in '06 I built a kiosk software platform on Lua. Hilariously enough I also built a REST based document store in Haskell, and we started using it probably three weeks before CouchDB came out. Weird languages are great if you're working in a field where you'll have to build everything from scratch anyway.

I wouldn't build a webapp in either of them, probably even today. The ecosystems for other languages are just too rich.

- 1 million miles in self-driving mode.

- 11 crashes.

This means about 1 crash of an autonomous vehicle every 90,909 miles.

- 5 615 000 reported total motor vehicle crashes

- 2,968,815,000,000 reported vehicle miles travelled

This means about 1 crash of a human-driven vehicle every 528,729 miles driven. So, human-driven cars are not hit as much as Google's. Maybe people hate them, so they run into them :D heh.

In seriousness, it's probably because where Google drives its cars there's much more traffic.
For most people they are doing generic work for a company. If you finish a task they give you another. There is an infinite amount of work to do. Therefore for the majority of people your statement means little. The employer would like them to work all hours to deliver more value. Every hour you work over 40 hours per week is a win for them and they are insatiable.
