This guy was probably getting a fat paycheck during his time at GS, and then when he left he tried to take some of the code that he worked on. It's long been illegal to take intellectual property (even if you made it) from your employer. But to make a law, you have to define things like "take", to exclude the case of an employee taking home his work to be more productive, which may be against company policy but shouldn't be illegal. Inevitably, the law fails to capture the full complexity of the universe and ambiguities are resolved in court. There's nothing wrong about the government and damaged party pursuing charges in cases where the law is ambiguous. That's what courts are for. When the federal courts ruled that federal law didn't cover Sergey's actions, the New York state prosecutor thought that a unique element of New York law might make things different in state court. Nothing wrong with that.

There are 7+ billions of "evidences" sitting around. Look at the people alive today, chances are that either their ancestors did something like this, may be as little as 1 or 2 generations ago. Over the last 10 thousand years (or any other arbitrarily large time-frame), there were large number of potential ancestors whose offspring did not make it to the 21st century. So those people must have been doing something right...

But of course, it is really easy to demand more evidence for the facts we "very much doubt" that for those that confirm our preexisting ideas.

> I guess I just see a disconnect between beliefs a person actually holds, and beliefs a person says they hold because they are under impression those are the 'correct' beliefs to hold.

How do you know which is which? I definitely haven't said "it's your belief if you claim it aloud, no matter what you really think about it".

Consider the population of wives cheating on their husbands. Do you really believe that only an insignificant number of them think what they're doing is wrong?

First, you need to establish that we differ in our definitions.

One of the coolest conversations I got into recently was with the person who designed the audio system on something called Kalliope (a GIANT, 75,000 watt sound system/art car).

Audio is cool, and the rabbit hole on it goes really, really deep.

For instance, I learned that Kalliope uses something called a cardioid array for its subwoofers, meaning that some of the speakers are pointed forwards (towards the crowd), and some are pointed backwards (away from the crowd).

The result is that the pressure created by the subs pointed backwards is collapsed by the pressure wave created by the subs pointed forward.

(Alex, the audio engineer calls this a warp drive).

The amount of thought that goes into designing some of these things is astounding to me. Building PA systems is NOT a matter of plugging speakers into amps and pointing them where you want them, and making loud sound systems is NOT a matter of getting more speakers.

Large scale monoculture is not necessary. It's not one tiny farm, it's many tiny farms owned by the people who live in that region.

Many of the problems that are "solved" with technology don't exist in natural perennial polycultures. For example, pests. In a natural perennial polyculture, you have an ecosystem that naturally manages the pests (via predators). These organisms evolve with the pests.

Tiny farms grow more food per acre than large monoculture farms.

Agricultural tech creates problems of it's own & does not match the prowess of nature. Natural processes grow the food, not technology. Technology can help, however, it can also hinder, and it does in our current petrolchemical centralized paradigm. Look at the pollution, soil degregation, erosion, desertification, poverty, etc. Large scale monoculture ruined just about every ecosystem that it has been used on. For example, the American Plains used to have 10s of feet of rich topsoil built by natural processes over the years. It's now eroded due to runoff & mismanagement propagated by large scale monoculture.

I can provide many other examples & problems, but I'll keep this post short.

Large scale monoculture is a failed experiment & a blight on the planet. It's also only viable because of government subsidization. Our monoculture paradigm benefitted from, wasted, & toxified our natural inheritance in less than 100 years. So yes, monoculture is extremely efficient at creating a mess.
No, I think you are being too charitable to banks here. Just answer this: where did the bailout money go? Who has it now? Describe to me the flow of money and you'll see that it went to service debt that was held in large part by private institutions.

Even if I agree with your argument, I guess what we should say is that the haircut wasn't enough. The lenders should have lost all their money because they debtors are insolvent. There was no reason to involve taxpayer money in this mess.
Nothing. I think the prosecutors should have taken their lumps and gone home after the Second Circuit ruling.

There's no way silicon microlitography will keep working once transistors are just a few atoms big. In fact, at 10 nm tunnel currents should be already a big problem on all sides of the transistors, and not constrained to the gate - channel insulation anymore.
Design looks great, though I've encountered a bug. When I click "Get Started" the signup modal displays. Clicking the browser's back button after this removes the signup form, but leaves the modal in place. Continuing to hit the back button appears to toggle display of the signup form. Hitting the 'x' in the top right corner will dismiss the modal.
Well, the text editor has just about as much UI as this calculator thingy, actually I'd say more.. That's why it came to mind as a good comparison.

I don't know you, your business, or either one of them... but I think you need to take a step back without the love goggles on and ask yourself if this isn't going to be massively regrettable mistake in hindsight.

It's great that you've recognized how bad the situation can go but... why would you carry on? There are plenty of other people out there and while I'm sure she seems special you can't just go getting in bed with every employee/cofounder/friend's significant other you're ever attracted to.

"When the engine goes out you generally only have 10 seconds to decide where to land."

Even helicopters don't fall that fast.

Lets say you're cruising 5000 feet above ground. That's a mile. You're in a plane with a roughly 10:1 glide ratio so you can glide 10 miles. At a best lift speed around 60 knots that's a mile a minute. Locally the only way to be more than 10 miles away from an airport or farm field would be over a great lake. During takeoff if you climb at 1000 FPM (maybe optimistic) that takes 5 minutes which puts you 5 miles away you can always turn around and glide back. All of my engineering estimates are wrong but wrong by far less than a factor of 2. Its a very long and stressful glide down if you have an engine failure.

Most engine failures don't make the news because nobody got killed or even landed off airport.

What tends to kill people is over confidence. Well, I have a big meeting tomorrow and I can handle a little rain storm, whoops. I only have a single engine and can't be bothered to IFR so I have to run scud under the overcast whoops I'm 5 miles from shore and only 1000 feet up when the engine dies (I think this most famously killed John Denver?)
Not really. Small-scale precision farming has yields much larger, but it is labor-intensive. All things considered, it's more sustainable.

SE Radio is definitely a great podcast. I'm not even a professional developer (Linux sysadmin) and I find at least 1 episode in 3 fascinating. They do a good job of keeping the topics diverse.

I agree that sometimes the interviewers (or the recording quality itself) can be a little weak and difficult to understand, especially on older episodes. That seems to be pretty common among podcasts, actually. I dislike and/or disagree with the host, and the production quality sucks, but they get such outstanding guests that it doesn't matter. I used to listen to a lot of podcasts on homebrewing beer, and that was definitely the case in that world.

"iteration speed" is the trap that leads to pushing bad code churn constantly because real thought takes time, but feeling successful anyway because you're shipping.

"automation" can be a trap that leads to band-aiding core problems; rather than figuring out why your application has so many dependencies on the operating system and makes deployment so complex, you might try to hide the mess under Docker. Now you have the original problems, plus a big dependency on a lot of complexity.

etc, etc.

I don't know what the answer is as far institutionalization but it's something worth discussing.

Yep, it's clearly not a general answer. It's "obvious" in the three cases I cited, but even in 20/20 hindsight, under e.g. the old rules, it does not seem like it would have happened with the shooters behind the Charleston, Sandy Hook, and Littleton, Colorado (high school) shootings, and a whole bunch more. Heck, the perpetrator of that incident of "workplace violence" at Fort Hood was himself a psychiatrist, and, not particularly mentally ill.

> Do you have any evidence to support the benefits of a placebo effect in relation to religion and/or prayer?

So, you are implying that there is a switch that will magically turn off beneficial parts of human biology (such as some well known and researched mechanisms like the placebo effect) for those and only those humans that engage in activities that you find personally disgusting (such as religion and prayer).

That's the most overtly religious belief I have seen expressed by a self professed rationalist, you know...

The merits of the wonderful library aside, this is the first Material Design webpage that I visited that doesn't come from Google and actually feels usable.

There is no clunkiness, there is calm, the components have material properties only to the point it makes sense, layer shadows are not as obnoxious as they need to be on a mobile device.

And the library works with React.
It's a bit wierd to complain about people asking for fish when those people have walked into a fishshop that has a big sign over the door saying "get your fish here!" with thousands of examples of other people getting fish.

Sure, people shouldn't just yell "fish!", they should ask for a specific fish and give details of the aquarium / meal, but that's not the same as saying we should teach them about lines and bait.
Actually it maybe just that Firefox is the problem, and not only with your site, and possibly something to do with my Linux configuration.
They are very similar to military contractors and weapon manufacturers, except that their industry has so far no regulations that prevents them for selling their product to anyone that has money to spend. Government could start defining this kind of tools as weapons but that prevent them for using it on their own population, and weapon trade is a very high profit industry.
The team at facebook wasn't exactly the best at squeezing performance out of the browser to be fair. Their article was a little misinformed. I think they have learned a lot since then.
The only way to "finish" software in the way the author describes is to find or invent an abstraction that is exceptionally powerful and well-designed. It has to give users what they want for a multitude of different use cases without requiring the library to grow to accommodate those use cases.

In practice, abstractions this powerful and flexible are almost impossible to create. For example:

- the Linux kernel is based around POSIX, which is a pretty good set of abstractions. But its API surface area is huge, and whenever users want to do something not in POSIX, the Linux developers have to invent a new syscall or stick more crap in /proc.

- Lua is an exceptionally well-designed scripting language and implementation, that satisfies tons of use cases while staying small. But it keeps adding features to address pain points of existing users. For example, Lua 5.3 added integer support. Users wanted it.

- zlib is perhaps the closest I can think of to a library truly being "done." And it gets away with this because it is perhaps one of the easiest abstractions to define and contain: a simple string->string streaming transformation that uses a roughly constant overhead of memory. That's pretty much as good as it gets!
Yeah you know I was thinking the same thing. How unfortunate it would be to partner up in business with someone who cares so little about the business that they would pursue my significant other without hesitation or consideration for my feelings, her feelings, or most important of all: the business itself!

I see too many people treating startups and exec positions like regular labor jobs, as if they are just entitled to be there because they know what's up. It's a real privilege to be a part of someone's idea to that level of intimacy, and what a shame to let something so petty as lust to destroy that intimacy and opportunity.

Interesting! UQM has the "PowerPhase® Select 50" which is a 30kW motor. I would say this counts as the "very lightweight motor technology" I speculated they were using because you can't get any datasheets or information or even a price for the UQM products.

40hp 200kg brushless motors are extremely common by comparison. Dozens of places will sell you one for a few grand.
