People familiar with unit testing and test driven development will feel at home with this kind of puzzle. That doesn't mean that they will be less biased in social/political decisions, it just means that this test will fail to prove a point.

There is no penalty to being told "no". That also applies to "I think I know the answer". There is no penalty for being told "no" there as well, so once you have a reasonable guess why not check it? Disagree with their analysis.
Yes, check out the Nocebo effect[0] (Placebos evil twin) and related phenomena like Voodoo death.[1]

From Wikipedia:
"Voodoo death, a term coined by Walter Cannon in 1942 also known as psychogenic death or psychosomatic death, is the phenomenon of sudden death as brought about by a strong emotional shock, such as fear."

> Czechoslovakia was advanced capitalist country

Did it have sufficient over-production that redistribution would remove "common wants" for everyone?

As early as 1845, Marx set that out as a central criteria that would have to be met before a socialist revolution would have any hope of succeeding.

> We just don't like to share, as a species.

And in fact, this is a central aspect of Marx' argument for socialist revolutions: We don't like sharing, and so for the vast majority of workers, the only way of getting a reasonable share is to join up and force the upper classes to surrender their wealth.

Marxism is basically founded on two ideas: 1) Capitalism will eventually make production efficient enough to produce substantial surpluses. 2) Workers will only get "their" share by cooperating to fight the ruling classes, and if they don't they will eventually get marginalised as capitalist competition starts driving down employment and/or incomes.

Nothing assumes people wanting to share. On the contrary, the Marxist focus on revolution is basically based on the idea that there's no chance you'll get wealthy ruling classes to voluntarily give up their wealth.

There is an implied penalty because it says about the answer box "Make sure you’re right; you won’t get a second chance" in contrast to "You can test as many sequences as you want" about the sequences.
Compared to Go or Java you're not missing much - I'm not sure what the state of Rust's generics is these days but at the very least they're not far behind Java's. Compared to a higher-level functional language you're missing higher-kinded types that would let you do things like http://typelevel.org/blog/2013/10/18/treelog.html . See what you end up doing for "cross-cutting concerns" - things like logging, auth, transactions - as those are the kind of thing you need a higher-level language to handle elegantly.

The big thing you're missing compared to the mid-level languages you mention is garbage collection. Rust makes manual memory management much easier than C++, but it's still never going to be quite as easy as the "just make objects and don't worry about it" that you get in a garbage-collected language.

When I was a very green coder I saw the vertical tab in one of those tables and spent a fruitless afternoon trying to use it to align some text. I don't even remember what I thought it did but the afternoon could have been better spent if anything anywhere had said it does absolutely nothing on any modern system.

So the harm is that people see vertical tab and without the associated historical context come up with their own ideas of what it does and then waste time.

If you do include it at least show it in such a way that people know it's a historical oddity with really nothing but very obscure uses like the fingerprinting example mentioned elsewhere in the comments.
A question for those in-the-know about the state of VR: Could a home desktop render these scenes in high-enough resolution in RT for the upcoming headsets?
Your task is to learn a class of objects by example. Without seeing any negative examples, you're unlikely to learn the right class (which is unique, it is precisely the class of increasing sequences of length 3). (x, 2x, 4x) is not "a correct answer", as it does not describe the class you were supposed to learn to distinguish.
Mock Test Double Using Prophecy
Imagine... if Neanderthals were still around today. How would society view them? Would they be social outcasts, literally, a caste of individuals destined for menial jobs (garbage collection, etc.)? Would there have arisen an extreme form of political correctness, denying any difference between the species because "we're all human beings"? That there would have been differences is clear, both physical - Neanderthals were much stronger than modern human beings - as well as mental, although it is unclear how those mental differences would have played out - Neanderthals had bigger brains than modern humans do.
Well put - and I had to chuckle at your use of the term 'rageviews'... I hadn't read that one before.

Well, yes, in this situation random guessing would be very likely to provide an immediate check on the solution.

(1x, 2x, 4x), as indicated in the video below, is not sufficient. It represents a subset of the values that are valid.

Think of it this way. When asked to write a unit test, do you only test the positive outcomes? No, you test to make sure the failures are as you expect as well. Otherwise, you are likely to have what you think is a failure end up as a success.
I wouldn't extrapolate too much from the observation you made about Google producing more founders. Both companies are "corporate" in that they have lots of jobs dedicated to keeping the company running, but have no direct impact on the revenue streams. A good example would be a license manager who negotiates licenses with third parties and makes sure his/her company stays in compliance. I'm sure there is at least one of those positions in both Apple and Google.

Without knowing a breakdown of the people who left Google to become founders, it's hard to draw any meaningful conclusion. The 20% time policy may have given engineers ideas for their own products. Or, Google may operate like an startup incubator for its own products, so employees feel very comfortable with the mentality and pace of a startup. Or, you may be right that Google is more "corporate" than we think. Who knows?

That was kind of my point - at least in terms of science they have regressed.

Wonder what kind of state support for scientific endeavours they have today?
> (x, 2x, 4x) gives you a "yes" every time, therefore it is a correct answer

I think this logic is a bit wonky - if there are sequences that get a "yes", but don't match (x, 2x, 4x) then the correct rule cannot be (x, 2x, 4x), can it?

I don't think it has anything to do the relationship between the language and its (compiler/interpreter) performance. Besides, the subset of a large number or programming language could be considered bare metal, right? If so, why mentioning bare metal at all?

That's so stupid. If some islanders had their own gTLD, it wouldn't be .io. It's not like it's some natural right that belongs to the island or the peoples. Chagos Island? So they'd have .cg or something like that. Not so valuable eh?

That one single statement "systems programing language" bit Go more than anything probably as far as expectations and the number of words generated in blog posts talking about Go.

It was funny that the first response to "Oh but it can't compete with C" was "Well, we meant systems programming language to be more like back-end web servers not your traditional systems programming..." Now, had that come from other people I might have believed, but I cannot imagine Ken and Rob had no idea what a systems programming language was and just got a little confused.

But based on that blog post it is clear that they did want a better C or better C++.

In the end they did a mini-pivot and instead got a better Python|Node.js|Ruby + types + better concurrency + easier_dependencies_and_deployment, which worked out pretty well. So they see a lot of developers from those ecosystem jumping to them. But anyone familiar with an advanced type system (Java, C#, C++, ...) might not get as excited about. interface{} as void* -- yeah no thanks, this is not 1999 anymore.
Lysenkoism was certainly a highlight of the Soviet sciences. Mendelian inheritance was considered a capitalist fabrication.

I've driven through Baikonour.

For background, it's literally a circle of land, 100km in diameter, in the middle of nowhere in Kazakhstan.

There is one road in, and one road out. From this road, the only trace of 'Baikonour' that you see is a small enclave bearing the same name on the side of the road.

We actually drove past it - it's that small.
Inside this enclave (and it is - it's got huge concrete walls around it) - are the famous sputnik hotel, and various bits and pieces. But it's first and foremost a small town for people who live and support the program.

There are armed guards at the entrance - who don't let anyone in that's not a local, or doesn't have permission from ROSMOS.

North of this, is the actual launch / test zone.
It's desert. From the road, you see nothing.

The advantage of this being: if something blows up, you just try again elsewhere. There are many abandoned launch pads / facilities in this zone.

The actual 'creeping in' - there are no physical fences keeping you out of the zone. If you've bothered to make the effort to get there, getting into the zone and the hangar itself wouldn't be too difficult at all.

And yes - go and explore the world.
Kazakhstan is an amazing place. You wanna find desolation, you can find it there.

By the way, if you go through Baikonour, don't stop in the next town. The cops enjoy extorting cash :D
I use STL now, but in the past I've seen several reason not to.

Compiler support hasn't always been there, especially on embedded systems with old or poorly supported compilers.

Strict control over memory allocation hasn't always been possible with STL, and it's still not very convenient if/when you need your own allocator, e.g., embedded systems, console games.

And this isn't true any more, but I still remember what the error messages used to look like more than 15 years ago. Sometimes a single error exceeded the maximum output length for error messages in whatever compiler I was using, probably Microsoft's, and you couldn't actually see what the problem was. That left me with impressions of STL that took a long time to recover from.
Hah :)

Seriously, though, it seems a bit of leap from the existence of confirmation bias to explaining away the public outpourings of US Politicians about their financial crises and foreign policy disasters - in the absence of better data as to just why the given statements were made ascribing this to confirmation bias seems itself open to accusations of confirmation bias! :)
A company will hire and keep only those who are able and willing to worry about company's issues. For such employees it makes sense to pay them decent wage so they are free to worry about company. How should government fire citizen who are not performing well?
Anything can seem complicated, or like magic, until you take a little time to learn about it.
I am always wary of people claiming other languages are not complicated, or easy, because then I realise they probably have not really learnt that other language either, and are making superficial comparisons based on their lack of knowledge and experience.
> Rust is definitely not generally used by people who would otherwise use a scripting language.

I fail to see why pythonists or rubyist couldn't use Rust. On the contrary Rust has more semantics that are closer to these languages than Go has.
Consider the sequence

1, 3, 5, 7

what comes next? 9 right? Or is the sequence generated by 2n − 1 + (n − 1)(n − 2)(n − 3)(n − 4) for n ∈ N. Then we've got 33.

"among all hypotheses consistent with the observations, the simplest is the most likely"

33 is correct, but it's less likely to be the basis for the generation of the sequence.

Your answer of (x, 2x, 4x) proves the puzzle illustrates the confirmation bias, at least in your case.

Does the unit test that confirms your function returns the expected result given one set of arguments prove it correct?
In case you can't see what I get: http://i.imgur.com/k5aAvtv.png
Yes, I read /r/sysadmin, Brian Krebs, /r/netsec, etc everyday (Sysadmining and securing our environment is one of my job responsibilities) and its not only out there, its gotten bigger. I see it blocked on my firewall, filtered out in our mail, etc. More players have entered the market (there are several active variants now) and the malware is smarter. The malware uses new tricks to infect (html file in a zip file that just does a redirect to a exe hosted on the web), bundled with 'crimepacks' that perform multiple exploits at once (java, flash, etc), running as a word macro, running fully in memory to avoid disk write restrictions, etc. We've shored up our defenses significantly but unless we move to a whitelisted-only executable environment, then it will probably get through eventually.

One of my chief complaints about Windows 10 is that it does absolutely nothing to solve the "download invoice.pdf.exe" problem Windows suffers from. At least in Linux that file needs to be given a +x and in OSX non-Apple signed executable need to be approved in the system settings. Windows is still the wild west. Its a shame MS didn't use Win10 as a way to lock things down to address today's threats. Signature based AV cannot move faster than a certain speed and malware like Cryptovariants move much, much faster than that. Heuristics are terrible for some reason on popular AV's and everyone is constantly getting infected.

Yeah, leave exceptions for power users and enterprise, but by default it should not allow untrusted unsigned content to run by default.

I told myself that if I ever start my own company that actually allows me to quit my dayjob it would be 100% OSX environment on the client-side. MS just doesn't take security very seriously, its targeted badly, and even the pro-netsec people at MS that want to be better with security are knocked down by the other politics of having 20-30 years of legacy support for ancient apps and not breaking anything. Its just not able to keep up with modern threats. Its a shame Win10 isn't shipping with a Windows store only policy for installs and some kind of OSX-like exception in the control panel for whitelisting. Devs would hate, IT departments would lose their shit, but in a few months we'd all be used to it and the internet would be much safer.
Are You Suffering from Severe CI? (Funny DevOps Video)
Flash is a plugin.
So I've written a few things in Rust, none in Go, but I've looked through Go's syntax.

Everything that can be written in Go can be written in Rust. However, Go would be much more simpler for things, ie. right now, a web server.
On the other end, some critical performance things or microprocessors, etc., written in Rust cannot be written in Go.

They each have a purpose, and while there is some overlap, the purpose is very different. Go is geared more towards developer simplicity. Inevitably, Go will be a more popular language because of the simplicity. Similar to Ruby and Python. I also see Rust becoming a much more mature language that will take many C and c++ programmers over the next few years. It takes time, 1.0 was only released 7 weeks ago.

In the end, I see both of these languages growing more and sticking around for awhile. Especially with large corporate backings (Google, Mozilla) and growing communities.

I think I will probably learn both eventually.
It's amusing that you went to a website on confirmation bias, did the puzzle incorrectly, presumably read the material on confirmation bias, but still suffer from the effects of confirmation bias.
From the article:

<< Yet if someone like that came to a top venture capitalist’s office, he or she could very well be turned away. Start-up investors often accept pitches only from people they know, and rely heavily on gut feelings, intuition and what’s worked before. “I can be tricked by anyone who looks like Mark Zuckerberg,” Paul Graham, co-founder of the seed investor Y Combinator, once said. >>

Paul was right - this meme just won't die.

<< People will probably still repeat that quote, but now if someone does it will be proof that either (a) they didn't do their research or (b) they have an ideological axe to grind. >>

I'm amazed at how often the defence story in these cases, "He had a stellar, 15-year career with the DEA except for this one blip.", is accepted at face value. I imagine a smart, experienced, undercover DEA agent would be very difficult to catch breaking the law.
That said, it's a about the implementation not the language itself. The phrase is technically incorrect, right? One could write a compiler that compiles Python or Ruby down to machine language without the interpretation overhead, and not necessarily faster or slower than their original interpreters, or other C/C++ compilers.
My friend is a prosecutor and said basically the same thing. She recommended that any time the police read your rights and just want to ask you questions - immediately ask for a lawyer. Just keeps things much, much simpler for you.
What we call today the Great Plains (specifically, the High Plains) was the Great American Desert 150 years ago. (The term comes from the fact that desert basically meant treeless back then, which the High Plains most certainly were). The land was basically unsettlable until the introduction of better plows, deep wells for irrigation, and the railroads to allow for efficient import/export. And the happy coincidence that the late 1800s were an unusually wet period that gave rise to the disastrous moniker, "rain follows the plow."
Mat Buckland has always rocked. His book AI Techniques for Game Programming is choc full of in-your-face AI implementations. He does not hide anything from you. Incredible book, the total opposite of so many failed attempts at actually coding up some working, useful AI that you can learn from. To this day I'm thankful to Mr. Buckland for such a terrific book. He's not afraid of showing you tons of code and I mean tons.
Scour isn't 'lossless'. "Scour attempts to optimize the file, and as result, it will change the file's structure and (possibly) its semantics"

Scour can do things like change Ids, remove 'unused' data, and so on - but if you are planning on operating on the SVG using script, maybe you need those IDs or that data.
Lol - the code example seems to imply that Zuckerburg's user id is 4.
