I absolutely loved one critique from the article:

> middlebrow megachurch infotainment

This hits the nail on the head on so many levels. (And maybe that's enough; maybe the college-educated need their megachurches as well).

Like megachurches, TED offers highly-produced "public speaking as entertainment", but the purported content of the talks isn't entertainment, but $SERIOUS_ISSUE being told to you by $PERSON_WHO_KNOWS_BEST.

This grates because TED events are inherently artificial; everyone knows that they're there to be entertained, despite the trappings of importance. Contrast with political speech, which is (usually) ugly, but has the solidity that comes from serving real (if often equally ugly) purposes.

Once might say, hang on -- what's so bad about public speaking at TED and megachurches? What's the difference between TED/megachurches and, say, standup comedy, or storytelling, or politics?

The difference is both 1) honesty, and 2) the role of the audience.

Honesty: Speech at TED or a megachurch comes with almost suffocating trappings of weight and import. In contrast, storytelling and standup and all sorts of ordinary entertainment are much more honest and down-to-earth: they don't claim to present anything more than a good yarn, some ear-tickling.

Audience: In both TED and megachurches, their audience does not expect to think critically, or to in any way hold the speaker to account. They do not expect to ply the speaker with questions later. In contrast, the audience keeps standup comics honest and can turn on them viciously; and politics invites constant comment and criticism from all quarters, of a kind that mostly keeps politicians from indulging in extravagant and exalted speech that could distance them from the everyman.

Could we make it more honest? That's tough without making TED itself have more of a functional purpose than just entertainment. The world does need exploration and discovery and curated content, but TED's format is clearly "preaching as entertainment", not discussion, and not journalism. It's like a Church devoted to episodes of "The Price Is Right".

But apart from TED developing its own 'platform' for change in the world and becoming a more functional organization, to go along with the views it invites ... as a thought experiment, I can imagine for instance having 2 experts on the same subject, each presenting it through their own lens. This would complicate preaching tremendously and keep it much more honest, but it would probably be far more instructive and nourishing to the audience.
michaelochurch routinely questions the motives of a large class of people. That in itself is arrogant.
> between two extrinsically identical algorithms, the one that can be expressed - or implemented, as it were - with less characters is fundemantally [sic] simpler in the context of the problem domain.

It does not make sense to say "an algorithm can be expressed in fewer characters" because an algorithm is its description in the fixed (universal) description language. This confusion between the Kolmogorov complexity of a string and the Kolmogorov complexity of an algorithm [1] haunts the entire article.

[1] Or what, the Kolmogorov complexity of a language? Saying "extrinsically identical algorithms" makes it unclear whether the author understands the difference between an algorithm and a function.
You only don't need the degree because they don't teach operations at college, you have to pick it up on the job.

I was thinking of applying to give a TED talk. Then I watched some of the newer ones. No.
You are right, v will highlight per character, Shift-V highlights entire lines. Also, as you pointed out, I made a mistake on the paste, it's p, not y (which is copy).
I saw a poll somewhere in an article about managing millenials that showed how people polled felt about working with people in different generations. Gen Xers actually did really well on a lot of the most important attributes, way better than Gen Yers, and a bit better than the previous two generations.
Several years ago[1] I requested an option called 'splitvertical' that would cause all window splits to be vertical by default. Christian Brabandt made me a patch I use to this day even though it was never merged: https://github.com/chrisbra/vim-mq-patches/blob/master/verst....

It's still fairly straightforward to merge. Ping me if you need help (email in profile)

What I'm interested in is how should I encrypt and store sensitive user data on a server such that it is retrievable but secure.
Since I usually work with small laptop screens I tend to use vim tabs more than split. I find these key combinations quite comfortable:

nnoremap L :tabnext<CR>

nnoremap H :tabprevious<CR>

nnoremap <C-N> :tabnew<CR>

Also if you use offline docs (I only know Zeal) it would be pretty helpful to map the offline doc application to the K key depending on the language

nnoremap K :exec "!/usr/bin/zeal --query ".&ft.":".expand('<cword>')."&"

The above copies the word under the cursor and query it with zeal.
Uber is charging a fee which is their costs plus whatever profit they think they can get away with.

Minimizing the profit part of the fee sounds admirable.
I would imagine he uses Tails and TOR.

He used to use Lavabit for email. The founder of Lavabit chose to shut the company down rather than comply with subpoenas from the US government. There is probably pending litigation to this day. He's obviously not going to disclose his current email provider as it would suffer the same fate.

I'd be curious to know his choice of OS. It's probably a Linux distro, but it could also be a BSD.

If he uses a cellphone at all, it's probably a blackphone: https://blackphone.ch/phone/ I believe Glenn Greenwald has talked about the Blackphone and was a beta user.

It's unlikely that Snowden would reveal any details about his computing as they could potentially be used compromise his comsec.

I wish there was a deeper technical explanation on how they made such a difference with a layer of file system. Would this also improve relational db perf?
Define sensitive user data and how do you want to store it? In a file or in a database? AES-256 is pretty good for encryption but you also need to handle decryption somehow - and you don't really want to store passphrases on a server. Passphrases can be encrypted using pgp if you want multiple users to have access to the passphrase. When it comes to password hashing (not encryption), then go with bcrypt or scrypt.

But please define sensitive data more in detail. Are we talking about passwords, messages or photos of passports etc?
Seeing as it's Intel I might guess that they either have extra instructions in the instruction set they know about or other optimizations that they know to look for. Seeing as they only support 4th generation and E5 v3... it wouldn't surprise me.
If they want to take surveillance to the next level, leapfrogging the other surveillance states, they could go with a text-based UI that leans heavily on AI - like Wolfram Alpha as an OS. Would save on having to keep up with UI trends and still be bleeding edge.

User: "Open interwebs"
Machine: "What internet site would you like to go to?"
User: "One with email"
Machine: "Opening email application...you have a message from Mary."
User: "Say hello to Mary for me."
Machine: "Reply sent."
User: "What's on at the movies?"
Machine: "Based on your location and love of Dear Leader, I recommend X."
User: "Sounds expensive, how much money do I have?"
Machine: "You have X in your account, however a Gazprom bill for X will be arriving soon."
User: "What is the average velocity of an unladen swallow?"

That way your system is always acting as a layer between the user and the content, ensuring you not only know what they're doing, but influence it as well. It would also work on cheaper handsets.
It happens very rarely and it sounds like this guy is just crazy.

The difference is that we don't have sudo-government states mounting attacks and beheading massive amounts of non-muslims. Even if you look at the statistics, attacks in the name of Christianity in modern times just don't happen very often.

I agree on some of what you say. However, I disagree with the interpretation of the result. On the surface that veneer is tantalizing, but in actuality it's more damaging than blatant leftists and rightists. Do you recall the Movie "They live". It's like that. Insidious. Pretends to be nice and psychologically it's more sophisticated, but also more believable and people tend to give their pieces more credence with less critical questioning than say a Fox news or MSNBC, because they mask it well.

But as I said in other comments, they're the best available option (to me), but that does not mean they are a good option. so long as you keep your ears open for their biases, they're okay to listen to.
yeah, it's ES6 shorthand for `keyUp: function (event) {`; the new syntax is valid both in objects and class definitions.
> With a $5 investment in starting a business, I can get absolutely, unequivocally, zero odds of becoming a millionaire in the next year as a result.

That isn't necessarily the case if you're resourceful. Someone can teach themselves to code, register a domain for 99 cents, get a Microsoft BizSpark account and have a free server for 3 years, etc. If you want to write apps you're at $125 ($99 for an Apple Developer account and $25 for a Google Play developer account) but that is still far less than most lottery players spend on the lottery each year.

Most parts of your rant are recursively applicable to your own comment.

It's kind of a key component of navigating oneself to a place.
It's not that far-fetched a description of what people in general like to do. After all, we punish social transgressions by confining people to quarters, drastically limiting their ability to go outside (or to move around much at all), and serve them formulaic food.

I agree with the GP. Most mars-lovers would love a working holiday there, due to the exotic nature of the place. But there's a difference between 'working holiday' and 'rest of your life in a (large) canister'. And you better hope that you get along well with your co-colonists...
It is a shame the New Republic were the ones to get their hands on these letters rather than someone more reputable.

There was no reason at all to divert form the interesting historical war component to some sort of shameful generalisation about the racism of the letter writer.

Especially the implication the language used, which is not appropriate today, but was commonly used at the time is relevant.

The letter writer spoke his mind, which seemed rare back then. But is brought down, after years of war and post war atrocities because they spoken openly.

They obviously cared about being prejudiced, which I cannot see being common at the time.

They New Republic cannot even bothered putting in the proper quote without comment -

Android is for Google, by Google. The source is put someplace public each release, but development is completely behind closed doors. There is little transparency at all, on roadmaps, status of what is being worked on, status of existing bugs, etc.

If you aren't going to be part of the virtuous cycle of the Android ecosystem / OHA in general and license GMS, it makes less sense to use it as a base for something as grand as whats described in the article.

I think this is the way Google designed it.

I very much try to use the right tool for the job; and try to happily accept when my favorite tool isn't the right one. In this case, I think the author pointed out that it's not just the tool that needs to be evaluated but the job at hand.

>How many developers will you hire? Planning to do the work myself. Once the app I'm buying is tweaked and running smoothly there shouldn't be too much to do.

The real world unfortunately doesn't work this smoothly, servers crash, weird bugs appear in the software, networking issues happen, traffic increases(hopefully) requiring you to scale out. I'd suggest you invest in finding a consultant who can help you on short notice if things go bad and keep them on a retainer.

> How many customer service representatives will you hire? None - the app will just link riders to drivers, and they will take care of customer service. Bad drivers will get banned from the service.

Who does the banning? How is it decided they are banned? What if there is a dispute between a driver and passenger who will handle that?

Lego was a huge one for me -- I loved having a giant tupperware box of random pieces and no instructions.

Another big one, but one that I don't see often, is Capsela (http://www.wikiwand.com/en/Capsela). I loved the fact that it actually moved and did stuff and could roll or float.

Nowadays, if I were a kid, I'd probably play with one of the programmable Lego sets until it broke or broke something else!
Agreed, Mars is stark compared to the Caribbean, but there is some minimalistic beauty to it all.

There may also be some survivorship bias when it comes to the colonies. First colonies often failed and for quite a while (e.g. Roanoke nearly 100 years after Columbus), so I doubt it was all fun and paradise.

yeah, I agree with most of the article but she's missing an important use for it.

I remap the semicolon to the colon in my .vimrc:

nmap ; :

This makes it much easier to type commands, since you don't need to use a keyboard chord.

After using this for a year or so, I found out that the semicolon actually has its own function--it can refer to the current insertion point when writing ranges. But I've never used that; one could remap : to ; if desired.

American programmers like to think they are engineers. German ones cannot because "engineer" is a legally protected title here and programming is not recognized as an engineering discipline.

I think that is justified by the way. Programming is a fad / fashion driven industry more than anything.

This is relevant here because whenever I look at Ada source code I hear synth pop. It is so 1980s. Sorry, maybe if Google or some other hip company took Ada, and simply changed the superficial appearance (i.e. syntax, identifier names) to look more 2010ish, gave it a cool name, and marketed it as the hot new thing it might go somewhere.

Sad fact is, whatever merits Ada has or does not have is completely irrelevant until that happens.

There are an infinite number of solutions for the constraint for a single base. When you consider the probability of a solution occurring amongst the set of numbers of equal length, it becomes apparent that the size of each set grows faster than the number of solutions it contains. Requiring the number to satisfy the constraint for multiple bases causes the probability to decrease rapidly. This naive heuristic analysis suggests that the probability of finding a solution is not only inversely proportional to the chosen base, but also inversely proportional to the value of the chosen candidate.
