> Why should you post life updates? Because it's the "done thing".

No - it's because you've done something you think your friends would be interested in and it's a lot easier to take a photo and click 'post to Facebook' than to write to 30 people.

That's really the fundamental function of Facebook and any successor will probably succeed by doing it better in some way. eg. Snapchat enabling you to send naughty pics without them being archived on the web for the rest of your life and so on.
I wish to simplify your question: Is there any actual basis for this?

Or in other framework: I there an experiment that can prove that this theory is wrong? I this theory falsifiable? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falsifiability

From the article:

> A psychology based on rats in mazes rather than the human mind, Jaynes wrote, was “bad poetry disguised as science.”

Ok, let's forget rats for a moment. Try to apply this to a closer relative: chimps

Does this theory imply that chimps are conscious xor they have gods? (Or chimps are too dumb for any of them?)
do you have a blog? are you theist?
These publications are only relevant if you're building a tech business - eg one that sells to tech businesses or consumers. If you're doing anything else then these are worse than useless because they'll distract you from things that will help your company grow. Find the media that your potential customers read and target those publications and the journalists that write for them. Build relationships with them. Respond to their tweets. Tell them you liked reading their articles. Treat them like human beings. Then pester them for coverage.

Naughty Hack: When I was building UsableHQ I signed up for a free trial on http://muckrack.com/ and scraped the entries using http://import.io to build a target list of 'journalists who write about business tools or write for business publications'. It didn't really help us considering we failed, but it felt good and with more runway it may have been useful.

EDIT: Looking at Muckrack again it looks like they've killed off the free trial. Probably because of people like me. That's a shame. I'm sure the same idea would work on any other journalist database though.
That is awful. I don't want to imagine one of my children being seriously or terminally ill. I'm glad Facebook was able to help you and your son in that horrible situation.

Thank you for sharing your alternative viewpoint.
I enabled it and I still see social buttons. :(
This looks amazing. Looking at relay makes me think that the reason Facebook only released a boilerplate implementation of flux was to start spreading the ideas; relay seems like flux++ in that it is an advanced implementation without any of the cruft (like the verbose dispatcher and action name constants).

> Women and different ethnic groups are treated in different ways with regard to things like hiring, performance reviews, etc. and there's a significant enough difference that the system could be defined as racist and sexist, even though no individual feels that they themselves are racist or sexist.

I think the issue here is that the difference in treatment is only an issue for a subset of races and genders in certain industries.
Chimps don't have language, so they cannot be used to test this theory.

Not the op but, I often disable adblock on sites I enjoy because I feel similarly. I'm not really interested in a semantic debate about what is or is not "stealing," but it certainly deprives others of revenue for creating content I get value from. When that content is otherwise free except for ads, it makes me feel rather shitty to go out of my way to block their revenue stream.

Edit: that said, I do still keep adblock on for sites with rather abusive or obnoxious ads.
Gitlab, Bitbucket, GitHub are the big three. There's a whole lot of others, but those are the ones I know off the top of my head.

The bicameral mind sounds a lot like an early type of consciousness. I think Jaynes' timelines are off, but it is possible that our consciousness worked differently back in the day. After all, we've seen how much humanity changed after switching to agriculture and farming.

Also "The picture Jaynes paints is that consciousness is only a very thin rime of ice atop a sea of habit, instinct, or some other process that is capable of taking care of much more than we tend to give it credit for"

Isn't this more or less the current theory of what consciousness is?

That it's a small part of the brain, and has little direct control over the brain/body, instead controlling it through indirect means such as habits, reflexes, instincts and other subconscious activities?

I mean, excluding all the "soul" and "God" theories, of course.
So what's was the essence of the trick: did Brazil have some special case of inflation where country was in fact economically healthy, but the people massively underestimated its economical health? Sounds so unreal (maybe that's why the currency was named so :) ).
If it were true, pills wouldn't have fixed it... consciousness would be some sort of contagious cultural norm, taught to children and so forth.

Not sure what's disturbing about it. Many times in my life I've met people who seem to be able to say the right things at the right time, but it feels like they're only some sort of clever parrot that recognizes that repeating that phrase is moderately relevant without actually understanding it.

Has that never happened to you?

Bye sourceforge!
I kind of had the same thought the person you are responding to had. You switch from "I" to "you" in your last paragraph, which seemed to imply that you were using your experience to declare how things are for others. I found myself nodding while reading the prior paragraphs, as I have similar experiences, but disagreeing with your last paragraph as it clearly wasn't true for many others. It's somewhat true for me now, but I joined Facebook because my mother was quite (terminally) ill, and it was a perfect medium to share with her but not place any particular burden for her to write emails or respond. And I'm the 'you' in the context of your message.
Well, "recent" is relative. Modern money laundering procedures started to develop in 1920's and 1930's; the proceeds of crime were hidden with banking schemes, and Meyer Lansky eventually even bought a Swiss bank to help do it for the American mob.

But I would guess that already ancient Chinese criminal gangs did something similar, to make the proceeds of illegal activities appear legal.

I personally have and greatly appreciate my CS degree. I don't know if anyone else on my team has a CS degree and I largely don't care. It is not a requirement to do the job of software developer and lots of great software developers do not have CS degrees.

That said, most of the really good software developers I know who do not have a CS degree, at some point in there career wished they did. Whether those wishes are worth the investment is hard to say.

My biggest question is why not get a CS degree? If it is a question of resource allocation, then I completely understand. If it is a question of lack of interest, that would be a red flag to me, either of the institution you are studying at or of your own motivations. But that could just be my bias because I found CS fascinating.
You speak with yourself inside your brain, right? And show yourself pictures, video and audio files that you stored around in there, commenting on them each time? So how is this any weirder? :-)

I think CS has its place, but just like music, some of the best musicians and producers have not studied music theory formally. There is not a day that goes by that I am not learning something new about programming or technology (which should also be true of CS majors), so keep that in mind, learning doesn't end at graduation.

How do you feel about disabling javascript by default, and making things click-to-play? I ask because I think the line between "advert used for site finance," and "drive-by malware" can sometimes be blurry.

I agree with your "Why not?" point. If you are already in college and plan to do 4 years, you might as well get a cs degree. For me it was too late to switch majors when I found out how much I loved programming. And it really wasn't worth it to do a 5th year. But I did take as many courses as I could before I graduated.

Facebook's probably peaked in the USA but has a lot of growth ahead globally.

McQuary or nothing.
The majority of people in this day and age are still not conscious most of the time (if you consider consciousness as self awareness or awareness that one is conscious).

Generally people act out of habit, conditioning, or mechanical stimulus/response. This lack of actual consciousness is the cause of many tragedies, accidents, cruel behaviors and downright stupid decisions.

Maybe the evolution of consciousness is just getting started. I hope anyway.
Facebook Map Tracking of Friends
Not a real story. Hyperinflation in latin america was systemic and ended in almost all countries around the same time, most of them didn't change their currency. And with sucessive crashes (97, 99, 2002), we can't call it a success.
I know I don’t like doing it that way. I use `git` (actually, I have `alias g=git`, so I actually write `g`) directly for most things, only pulling out `hub` for GitHub-specific things.

I don't quite follow where the contingency comes from. In fact, most scientists seem to subscribe to naturalism which posits that the world is fully deterministic. Also, in case you're not being facetious, these are pretty long running debates so you're probably not the first in history to claim something like that.

> Once a candidate links their online portfolios and projects—usually Github repositories—to Gradberry, the platform analyzes whether or not a candidate has written good-quality code.

Tell me one human being that can read someone else's code and determine whether it's "written good-quality code" and I'll have you a queue of companies that want to use you as a recruiter. AI instructions are created by humans. If a human can't determine the rules for "quality", then how is an AI going to do it?
Thank you! This, fwiw, is YC's general advice. Entreprenuers sometimes chase tech press because of Meerkat valuations and stuff, but getting customers is the real way to build a business.
Perfectly acceptable. I believe it's within everyone's right to filter what hits their browser (and what their browser gets in the first place) as much as it is the website's right to serve whomever they want.

They should attempt to use technical means, though, as it's unlikely that a simple 'Do you use adblock?' prompt is going to work very well.
I disagree. I had a startup in the recruting space. Companies only have about 3% to 7% of their jobs filled by head-hunter placement fees. This company is smart.

Most of existing head hunter placement fees were obtained because a head hunter getting a 20% to 33% placement fee was only able to be obtained by a lot of manual sales labor. This company automates that with a low 5% placement fee winning over competition and not requiring the high manual sales labor.

Second, this company is trying to find companies that will hire most of their engineers through their system, instead of only 5% of their company hires. Also placement fees at 20% to 33% are only paid on: a) exec positions, or b) when a position takes a very long time to fill. That small category limits the percent of employees able to be hired with a contingency fee (from 3% to 7%). This company being cheaper means that companies can hire all levels of engineers and do it for quality reasons, since the 5% is no longer a blocker.
Would you edit in which country you're referring, too?
One thing that bugs me about this, is that a lot of theorems seem to be formulated backwards. To give an example:

Theorem 9.1. Let f be a continuous real-valued function. Let y be a real number. Let b ≤ c be real numbers with f(b) ≤ y ≤ f(c). Then f(x) = y for some x in [b, c].

Why is this well-formed? Once you say "Let y be a real number", I'm free to pick any real number, which means that there might not be a b and c such that f(b) ≤ y ≤ f(c). Now, I obviously understand what is said, but shouldn't this be formulated more like:

Let f be a continuous real-valued function. Let b ≤ c be real numbers from the domain of f. Let y be a real number in the closed interval bounded by f(b) and f(c) ([f(b), f(c)] or [f(c), f(b)], depending on whether f(b) ≤ f(c) or not). Then there exists an x in [b, c] such, that f(x) = y.

The way this and other theorems, definitions, etc. are formulated in the article bugs me, because I must go back and re-qualify variables based on information deduced from things introduced, after the variable in question was introduced.
As other reply had mentioned, with their LTS you are stuck with fairly old software. For example with RHEL 6.x (surpassed just a year ago and still supported) you still have python 2.6 on there, even though 2.7 was released in 2010 (actually before the release of 6.0). You can find similar cases for pretty much every piece of software, from kernel to desktop environment.

It's not a bad thing in enterprise world, it sucks on desktop.
> Traits are properties that types can have, like Java interfaces though more powerful.

The GP asked about formal definitions. So I think they want something more precise than that.
To quote an old saying, "Nothing in life is free."

Websites rely on ad revenue. If the ads are blocked the website or streamers on Twitch do not receive the revenue. Just because it doesn't go into my pocket doesn't mean it isn't stealing in my own personal view.

For example if you take a sapphire from the Museum of Natural History and than throw away or lose the golf ball size 563 carat Star of India. You gained nothing from taking it but you still are guilty of stealing a diamond.

> I wonder... Is bundling adware installers with GPL software a violation of the GPL? (If not, should it be? v2?/v3?)

I would assume that adding in stipulations like this would actually be more of a hinderance. Who decides what is "crapware" vs legit software? I can see use cases where you would want an installer to install more than just 1 GPL app (ninite?) and I'm sure it has further implications...
"in some countries" might include countries outside the US, though! ;-)
Hah, hope you're being sarcastic. Consciousness/thought existing prior to matter is the foundation of most ancient philosophy.

In fact, it's only become increasingly fashionable in the last couple centuries to posit matter as a "root-level" metaphysical construct (or actually, to make the claim that there is no metaphysics, just physics.)
