Funny you should say that...

I work at the Center for Open Science, and our founder was quoted in the article. One of the major use cases for our primary product (the Open Science Framework) is to facilitate preregistration.

Here's the relevant section of our "Getting Started" page, detailing how preregistration works: https://osf.io/getting-started/#registrations

It reminds me of that parrot image that was said to crash human brains, only even more intense. I certainly experienced some effect, as while looking at it and trying to figure out what exactly it was, I felt my head heating up --- probably increased blood flow.
> What happens to that homebrew community when they ship a microkernel with proprietary servers for everything, and nothing else?

In order to do what you did in your WD TV-Live you flashed the image with a new one. Otherwise you wouldn't be able too. So even in the case of a micro-kernel you would just flash the pre-installed with a new one (voiding warranty).

But to get to the point, do you have any idea how much effort would it take for a corporation, to write a reliable httpd server that has apache's capabilities, plugins, testing and support? Then write their own update system, dhcp client and so on? It would take huge amount of $$$ and time. And most of them would probably be buggy. So either way they would have gone with Free Software, if wanted to stay in the current price range.

How about Expedia then:

$5.7 billion in sales. $400 million profit. Solid, consistent growth. $15 billion market cap.

Airbnb might achieve those metrics - ten years from now.

Or, going on the order of magnitude premise, it implies Airbnb is worth half as much as Priceline.com:

$8.4 billion in sales. $2.4 billion profit.

This is a fantasy valuation for Airbnb, that is pulling forward returns from far into the future. Airbnb seems to have an excellent business, and they may grow into that valuation one day - that day is not nearby.
I see that doubled-modifier could be a bit confusing: "more less sensitive"; I meant that newer processors are becoming less sensitive to alignment.
I'll repeat what I posted on facebook because I thought it was clever: "Yes, but only if we tell them to dream about electric sheep."

So, tell the machine to think about bananas, and it will conjure up a mental image of bananas. Tell it to imagine a fish-dog and it'll do its best. What happens if/when we have enough storage to supply it a 24/7 video feed (aka eyes), give a robot some navigational logic (or strap it to someone's head), and give it the ability to ask questions, say, below some confidence interval (and us the ability to supply it answers)? What would this represent? What would come out on the other side? A fraction of a human being? Or perhaps just an artificial representation of "the human experience".

...what if we fed it books?
> What happens if your tank leaks on the dive boat next to an engine?

Nothing much would happen, the hydrogen would rapidly rise up and away.

You'd have a hard time intentionally causing a fire with a low level leak of hydrogen near a closed fire like an engine, never mind by accident.

A small amount of safety precaution (and diving is quite full of safety precautions, so I think they could handle it) is all you would need to make it safe.

Lovely imagery.

I never had much luck with generative networks. I did some work putting RBMs on a GPU partly because I'd seen Hinton talk showing starting with a low level description and feeding it forwards, but always ended up with highly unstable networks myself.
These days, scientific publishers are bundling everything together into one package, commonly known as the "Big Deal". Institutions pay a single fee for access to hundreds or thousands of journals.

Here's a paper that explores the idea and its impacts - http://www.vanderbilt.edu/econ/faculty/Wooders/APET/Pet2004/...
I think doing the same with videos would be far more interesting... and probably creepier.
The a16z deck posted a couple of days ago made a great point relating to this. In the past, an IPO would allow everyone to participate in the upside (e.g., 1000%+ growth of the Microsofts and Oracles). Now, the ones reaping the rewards are the private equity groups. By the time they unload companies on the public markets, most of the upside is gone.

I agree with banning subreddits that actually go outside their own subreddit to harass people. Otherwise, I don't.

> It would probably be best to do away with the term "mathematical truth" altogether. It's confusing and sloppy. Mathematics has no separate truth from the physical world - it's just a field of epistemological methods.
This sounds like a contradiction -- epistemology is, more-or-less concerned with what's true. If mathematics is simply a field of epistemology (with is own methods), then it's not a stretch to say that there is a mathematical truth -- a truth that satisfies the methods of the filed of mathematics.

> The simple fact is that mathematics is derived from nature first by observation of countable entities and then a process of abstraction from those observations.

I think it's more complex than that... I suspect that math (and many other fields) starts out this way, going from concrete to abstract, but once it gets to the abstraction phase then it takes on a life of it's own. People find the abstractions interesting in their own right, they seem to develop a sort of historical direction, and they have compelling properties on their own merit, so people felt compelled to develop them. People's intuitions, however, are strongly shaped by physical reality. And those mathematical abstractions are often useful for modeling physical reality, causing a strong interplay between reality and mathematical abstractions.
Maybe you will like the FST-01? It's a free hardware device that can run gnuk, which is a free software smartcard over usb implementation. While it also supports RSA 2048 by default you can upgrade it to use RSA 4096 or even Ed25519 keys with GnuPG 2.1.

Both, the FST-01 and Gnuk are made by one of the GnuPG main developers, gniibe :)

I suggest this as I discarded a Yubikey NEO for one of these and i'm pretty happy.

Everything on that page is stuff you're going to find in a grad student's lab books, which are their property. This document is basically a primer for people transitioning into paid research where the lab-books become lab property. A huge proportion of research, especially in less commercializable areas of fundamental science research, is done by students (because they're cheap). This means the kind of lab-book described in your link is probably less common that you might expect!

It's only supported in chrome, with other browser support at least 6 months away (guess). After getting a test webapp to work with u2f tokens on chrome I wouldn't say it's easy. YMMV.

You need to include this js: https://demo.yubico.com/js/u2f-api.js

Really cool. You could generate all kinds of interesting art with this.

The problem is analysis paralysis usually strikes because you have to make a decision today which have profound consequences a long way down the road.

For example, if you're deciding between Ruby and Go, it's a choice between things like a more extensive gem library vs not having to rewrite the code to achieve scale. Those are things you can't test in an experiment, but they're choices your future self will have to live with.

That's why I believe it's good to just have a rigid flowchart when making technical decisions of this nature. The time to make or modify the flow chart is not the same time as when you need to make a decision. Later, once the product is off the ground, play around the edges with new technologies and use those learnings to modify the flowchart. This, to me, was the best way to avoid analysis paralysis.
Whew! As long as there's one other person out there who agrees, I know I haven't slipped into a parallel universe.

Not sure why you would hate the Greens. The two big parties have jumped the shark and don't care about the people any longer... it's all about a) getting into power and 2) keeping that power.
I'd imagine you can find guides on university websites. e.g. Search for physics, chemistry, etc. lab book format guides, etc.. These tend to be pretty formulaic and oriented towards ease of marking. However, they do establish habits that persist when experiments become life-consuming affairs rather than something that start and finish in a three hour period.
Maybe add [2014] to the title? It's pretty cool, though, not that often that one can read the way Peter Norvig is thinking.

Also, instead of "matches the last names of elected US presidents but not their opponents", would it be clearer to express "matches the last names of presidential candidates who got elected at some point, but not those who never became presidents" - or along these lines (sorry for the grammar). This is then a mutually exclusive list, and no interpretation problem.

I've been using my own homebrew security system for a while now - nothing more than a prototype though.

What I'd love to see these projects do is to step past OpenCL and use additional tools like OpenTLD to actually track and learn who is in an around your yard. That way it doesn't have to record or alert you when your wife or kids get home. It also means your system can alert you: "Hey, Jill just arrived on your front doorstep and left a pot of soup....or an IED...I can't quite tell".

Still, very useful - and in the grey area of surveillance.
I got a couple pages in before giving up. The question of existence/non-existence of theorems simply isn't as important as he makes it out to be, and I say this as somebody who's read a fair amount of relevant philosophy.
>If we choose higher-level layers, which identify more sophisticated features in images, complex features or even whole objects tend to emerge. Again, we just start with an existing image and give it to our neural net. We ask the network: “Whatever you see there, I want more of it!” This creates a feedback loop: if a cloud looks a little bit like a bird, the network will make it look more like a bird. This in turn will make the network recognize the bird even more strongly on the next pass and so forth, until a highly detailed bird appears, seemingly out of nowhere.

I would say that's a pretty good description of how many psychedelic hallucinations unfold. They start off as noise in your vision which turn into loose forms which turn into geometric patterns which turn into etc...
That's when it suddenly went from open source to closed source. One day, RIM removed the sources from the web and FTP servers.

QNX used to be a standalone company. They declined a buyout by Microsoft. Then one of their key people died, and they sold out to Harmon, the car audio company. So then they were heavily into automotive dashboard applications, which continues. Then RIM bought them, which gave the Blackberry a better underlying OS but didn't fix Blackberry's problem of an obsolete UI and business model.

Meanwhile, QNX still sells to real-time and industrial automation customers, but those customers feel kind of neglected. Incidentally, the Boston Dynamics robots all have QNX managing the balance and the hydraulic servovalves. You need reliable hard real time for that.

I suppose you've never run into an Android device that didn't run ssh out of the box, or had a locked bootloader? Perhaps not distributed with full sources so you could easily modify the system?

Yep.

Success really depends on the conception of the problem, the design of the system, not in the details of how it's coded. - Leslie Lamport

You're not going to come up with a simple design through any kind of coding techniques or any kind of programming language concepts. Simplicity has to be achieved above the code level before you get to the point which you worry about how you actually implement this thing in code. - Leslie Lamport

You're not going to find the best algorithm in terms of computational complexity by coding. - Leslie Lamport

Sometimes the problem is to discover what the problem is. - Gordon Glegg, 'The Design of Design' (1969)

The besetting mistake of expert designers is not designing the thing wrong, but designing the wrong thing. - Frederick P. Brooks, 'The Design of Design: Essays from a Computer Scientist' (2010)

... then again ...

In practice, designing seems to proceed by oscillating between sub-solution and sub-problem areas, as well as by decomposing the problem and combining sub-solutions. - Nigel Cross

... but did you want re-use? ...

A general-purpose product is harder to design well than a special-purpose one. - Frederick P. Brooks, 'The Design of Design: Essays from a Computer Scientist' (2010)

Design up front for reuse is, in essence, premature optimization. - AnimalMuppet

Maybe there's something to do with how our brains interpret information differently when under the influence of psychoactive drugs.

I've been looking at Aldous Huxley's "Doors of Perception" and other psychonautic works recently and he hypothesizes that these sorts of drugs filter out the usual signals from the CNS that shut out the parts of perception that are not important for you to receive for survival.

It might be some great leap of armchair psychology, but I think we're due for another psychedelic revival, especially considering the new advances in synthetic psychedelics, legalization of more harmless recreational drugs, new tests in medical research using MDMA/LSD/Psilocybin, and the cultural shift away from the 'War on drugs'.

> Depressed mood may not require any professional treatment, and may be a normal reaction to certain life events...

Yes, because, again, the test criteria themselves changed.

I'd suggest your focus on a two-data-point trend and google (at the exclusion of every other company on this list) may just be revealing your own bias rather than the EFF's.

> it's because the 2014 report is bogus (two of the categories are "published a report")

again, I'd suggest actually reading the report. Several of the categories this year also only require a single line in a privacy policy. That's all this report has ever been -- some disclosures, but in many cases, just flat out statements that something will be done with no actual verification that it will be (since in many cases that's not conclusively possible).

Godly Dreams it will bless you in a big way, please subscribe Thanks!!!
Thanks. It doesn't always work out - clients/managers often seem to have "all the cool kids are using it" and/or "but it's the cloud, everyone uses the cloud now" mentality, but I try.

I should also emphasise that I'm mostly talking about infrastructure level "lock in" here - e.g. the artificial lock-in AWS creates for their Load Balancer and/or Elastic IP service by giving VMs new IPs on reboot, etc.

I definitely prefer Open Source solutions, but I'm one step more pragmatic in that space too - if a piece of locally-installable but proprietary software does the job and works with open standards (e.g. if you want to use self-hosted atmail) I'm less worried/vocal about that than if you say you want to use Gmail or whatever, but I'd still try to suggest a more open option.

In terms of resources, no sorry I don't have any single resource to go on, besides a basic rule/test:

Can I demonstrate the full stack being implemented, using one or more laptops (e.g. using VMs) on a plane or cruise ship? You could equally say "can i test the full stack while the WAN is disconnected" but that doesn't sound as fun!

I'm actually building my new business around this basic idea - giving smaller companies a better option to keep more control of their tech without the need for a full-time sysadmin (which is often financially impossible even if they wanted to). I genuinely believe the vast majority of things most businesses want/need to achieve can be done with existing Open Source software, its just usually not particularly easy to setup the various pieces, and make them work together.

Indeed. The insecurity of the scheme handling is not a new development and should be better known.
Why don't you publicised your work to get it better known, even sharing a link here might help?

I would say to request some frank and honest questions from your family and close friends about your job situation, and act upon them. Not that I am saying you are not doing them, but you have to act upon them, that is the real key.

The tie between the two is quite modern. There's now a whole guilt trip associated with Ellis Island. This is because Ellis Island was a quality control point for immigrants - the ones who flunked the physical exam were sent back. The reject rate was 15%-20%. This is now viewed as a bad thing.

Sorry to be picky but pulling into a current valuation all the future profits is the point of a valuation. The value of a company stock today is all of expected returns from stock ownership (ie dividends and capital) for the life of the company. If not then I would but the stock from you and just wait for it to survive longer than the timeline you valued it at.
