I was interested in the decision-analysis section as well, so I tracked down another interview where Kahneman covers that: http://www.strategy-business.com/article/03409?gko=7a903
It will be interesting to note if political biases heavily skew how "trusted" certain websites are. With left-wing sources being "trusted" and right-wing sources being "not at all", or vice-versa.

How easy is it to register multiple accounts to 'game' the site? If this ever becomes a popular tool for gauging how trustworthy a news source is, I smell foul play in ratings could become a thing - which makes the ratings themselves untrustworthy.

After several rounds of the same people always being in the first ten people to vote, how doesnt that fit the defition of a voting ring?
No, hilarious is your not bothering to read the article properly. Budapest and Bucharest are each mentioned exactly once and appropriately in context.

"A Hungarian police car stops the bus shortly before Budapest, and once again demands €200"
and
" Others were back in Romania only briefly because they needed to take care of paperwork in Bucharest."
I think the article is too eager to dismiss hotspot-style links, valid as its point about multiple connections may be. The solution I'd prefer would be something like Medium-style inline comments, where the immediate "hotspot" is a number representing a collection of responses, and the links occur inside of those.
In both this demonstration and the demonstration by Google of image generation by neural networks (http://www.popsci.com/these-are-what-google-artificial-intel...) you can see hints of organic, naturalistic behavior emerging from artificial networks. Is there any doubt that such networks can simulate even more complex aspects of our cognition? Isn't the writing on the wall (no joke intended) with regard to the Strong AI hypothesis? Or at least a stronger weak hypothesis.
I agree with everything said above. I think the term "data scientist" is used very loosely. With some of the "data science" I see in big companies, they tend to just import the library and leave the math up to PhD's and the writers of scikit-learn.

I do think this is a problem and that is the point I was trying to get across when I wrote the post.
jRuby is one of the biggest reasons I lean to Ruby over Python. Ruby gains a lot more from the JVM than Python (at least that's my understanding) does and that leads to much more momentum behind jRuby.

Super cool but very wasteful I am sorry to say. I wish there was more creative value added for people interacting with the device.
Man it feels good to hear somebody else say this. I feel like I'm shooting myself in the foot sometimes business-wise by not participating regularly in Product Hunt but I find that it's just not inviting. I don't feel a part of the club. I browse, find cool products, click through, and that's about it.

But I rarely comment as it just feels forced, like I'm standing next to a circle of people having a conversation at a networking event and I'm a few inches outside the circle, and it's clear I'm not a part of that circle.
And Rush said, "If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.".

There is no alternative to curation. If you display all the possible options, there is still the order -- humans, being humans, will not thoroughly read and equally consider even a list of a thousand options, so the order will affect their choice. Choosing to display the results in random order, or in alphabetical order, or in chronological order, is still a decision which affects the choice of the user.

Curation cannot be avoided, as long as we are men.

New York Panel Recommends $15 Minimum Wage for Fast-Food Workers
Borrowing from others' arguments, one can argue that such selective and/or one-sided enforcement actually weakens a law or regulation. (Meaning here, no penalties for abusing the DMCA.)

Akin to speed limits. Make them unreasonable, and selectively enforce them -- perhaps for purposes, e.g. revenue generation, other than their ostensible purpose -- and people lose all respect for them.

You may attempt to enforcement through force, but you no longer have the public's buy in and willing participation -- something upon which democracy is founded.

P.S. I didn't mean for my comment to ride this high on the thread, by virtue of being a response.

Nonetheless, my point: We continue to fight e.g. artificial scarcity and strengthening threats, rather than working with efforts to actually improve the public's experience and gain willing participation.
Overstuffed wording aside, copyright is just a set of laws that can be interpreted with more or less ambiguity; it's not some sort of ineffable concept. And laws aren't mathematical theorems; they don't become invalid just because they're self-contradictory.

Also, "original" in the law doesn't mean the same as in regular conversation; it merely means it's not an outright copy. That's why a work can be deemed to be derived from other(s), yet still have copyright protection for its own contribution.
The whole appeal of a slot machine is that you might put in a dollar and get back a thousand. The prospect of a huge payoff is what keep s people pulling the lever.

I don't know. Classical mechanics is useful but has proven to be wrong in various places, I don't know how useful string theory is but, at least to my knowledge, it has never been proven wrong. Whether a set of facts adds up to "murder" is debatable and what is and is not legal under Dodd-Frank is also debatable.
That's a rhetorical question, and not something that I'd say is relevant. My point was and remains that if compiling from source on FreeBSD is doable but takes some effort, it's not a brick wall for language adoption.
It's a very large unknown if a disembodied simulated human brain, even if it was a perfect copy, wouldn't be screamingly insane. All human brains we know of are embodied. Now, if you could also simulate (or at least stub out) the entire body, that might help, but that's a lot more than "four pounds"...
Your outlook on this really depends on subjective definitions of "truth", "understanding", and "alone". I realize it's one of the central hypotheses of the article that side projects need to have a social component - but whether that's true is entirely dependent on someone's personality. The overwhelming majority of side projects will never get shared with anyone, and I differ with the article in saying that's not a failure which needs to be corrected. On the other hand, there are side projects that happen with many people collaborating from the get-go; however, I would be hesitant to declare this a globally ideal format for all programmers doing hobby hacking.
The only thing that seems like it's missing here, in the instructions for the project, are that it should be pulled down with go get instead of git clone, which would have resolved the dependencies for you.

Obviously, correct me if I'm wrong, but... that doesn't ever actually change for any other language. You still do a pip install or an npm install and then another command to run and/or compile your code.

So, really, it's a documentation failure, and on the part of the project authors, at that. You never used Go prior, so you didn't know to use go get. You used Python, Node.js, etc for a first time, too, at some point, and the only reasonable conclusion is that you also didn't know to use <insert language-package-manager-relevant command here> that first time, either. Unless, of course, the project you were using it for documented that. Or you went off and searched for it yourself.
The article almost reads like a parody! Who would have thought that getting good, restful sleep would enhance cognitive ability and performance? Almost a "duh" statement.

I am however very interested in why we need as much sleep as we do. Certainly a product of evolution/biology but I am constantly amazed how little we know of what happens to our brain when we go comatose for 8 hours a night.

To another species/race it might actually seem frightening. What?! Humans go into a death like state every 24 hours?!
Dropbox Acquires Clementine, an Enterprise Communication Service
Maybe its only the export movies, but I am having a tough time remembering any pro-nuclear Japanese movies. Fukushima was a systemic and human disaster, but the reactor type is an old model. We have a lot of old models, and not a lot of in-the-field innovation because of the anti-nucleaur media. If we would have had decent evolution, some of those plants would have been closed and replaced by safer plants. Since its all political, we have not deployed new technology in a timely manner.
The fact that we're at a point where millimeter distances from one side of a CPU die to the other is starting to be considered "long distance communication" is bemusing and awesome at the same time.
Not sure if you've ever heard of Bruce Schneier, but he is regarded by many as the father of modern cryptography. He also happens to know a thing or two about security, and frequently testifies to the US government such as the Senate on cybersecurity related matters.

Feel free to disagree with one of the leading experts in the field, but I doubt you'll end up right.
Clearly there's no accounting for taste. The Netflix has no idea of The context when I sit down to watch a movie. Such as am I watching my geeky Friends or am I watching with my girlfriend.
Yeah, kind of. Not much I can disclose.
Clearly you think "post-YC" investments are a good deal, and I agree in aggregate. But the problem is that they can always be a better deal and some companies will be better than others.

Let's look at a company who takes $120k from YC in exchange for 7% equity.
On demo day they get term sheets for
(A) $10mm at a $20mm post-money valuation, and
(B) $10mm at a $250mm post-money valuation

In either case the pro-rata vehicle has to take down $700k of the $10mm to keep the 7%. As long as the pre-demo day and post demo-day money are coming from the same fund, it's all good

But let's say the terms sheets are:
(C) $10mm at a $250mm post-money valuation, and
(D) $50mm at a $250mm post-money valuation

Term sheet (C) requires the same $700k, but term sheet (D) means YC has to shell out $3.5mm.

If you're less than excited about this particular company, would you be more likely to mention that "$10mm is plenty of cash and term sheet (C) lets the founders maintain far more equity"?

I doubt it. And conflicts of interest don't necessarily cause problems. But, this clearly going to cause friction at some point.

Universal might not be as "stupid" as people think...

That address is most likely for a client that the most popular french language pirate streaming Cacaoweb site uses.
http://cacaoweb.org/

Basically if you go to that site and download the client you will have a web service running on port 4001 which will accept certain parameters.

The links for that service (and other similar services) are published on the internet pointing to the local loopback address with a resource identifier of the specific content in question e.g.
http://127.0.0.1:4001/?f=4a3aba6e5e7cff2825347f7293a462ae

Pressing that link on an machine on which the client is installed will allow you to instantly view the content, on machines on which the client isn't installed it won't do anything (think of it as a torrent magnet link).

So while it's a bit silly to see that you see a local loopback address on a DMCA request what they want Google to do is to not display search results that actually provide the link to the content, even if that link requires dedicated software.

I've encountered this while doing some investigating into several breaches on some sites, the breaches didn't deface anything and they didn't seem like they cared to compromise the content of the site either.
What they did leave is allot of JSON content which was looking like this:

"episodelinks": [
{ "link": "http://127.0.0.1:4001/?f=73b2ca67915c6e6f7cc67dd75379bab6","...: "en","subs": "" }] },
{ "episode": "2",
"episodelinks": [
{ "link": "http://127.0.0.1:4001/?f=4a3aba6e5e7cff2825347f7293a462ae","...: "en","subs": "" }] }] },
{ "season": "2",

That content was then accessed over and over by multiple different clients from mostly french speaking countries oddly enough more from Africa and Canada than France (which there is also quite an interesting anecdotal reasons to why, Africa well can't afford and doesn't have Netflix and Canada rarely gets decent french Dubs these days as most American shows will be only broadcast in English even if they are dubbed in French for France or other regions.)

Some of the HTTP clients were sending User Agent's of various streaming apps including the cacaoweb client.

What Universal seems to want is to make sure Google doesn't display these lists on forums and various sites and there's not really a better way to do it than to include $HOME:1337/agrirpirate! currently :<

What people need to understand with the DMCA requests is that it's not intended to only remove the URL from showing up in google results as that is ineffective it prevents any website with that url in it's content from showing up as a result especially when tied to certain keywords.

Blocking say the piratebay or whateversiteahsreplacedrapidshare.com on google ins't effective making sure that all of the 10000's of forums that are used to actually publish the links wont be displayed when people search for Taylor Swift New CD Torrent on Google is.
Is the Agile Manifesto dead? Not by a long shot
It is scary to think about because automated exploits could perhaps be scaled up and cause real mayhem. Hopefully it doesn't have to get that far before some elementary redesign of network architecture inside of vehicles. It's not rocket science. Just separate the safety critical network (which include brakes, steering, etc) from the non critical information and entertainment network.
No. In most scenarios, make can parallelize builds and where compiling and re-compiling are still bottlenecks distcc and ccache generally scale. LLVM also tends to compile faster. For larger projects, cmake can also theoretically generate a configuration for ninja (faster than make) only changing the command line.

As for testing, I haven't really seen bottlenecks with integration and unit tests. If anything, running continuous integration on Linux should be as fast or faster though. I tend to use googletest where I can.

In this video Dan Ariely mentions some interesting research about the effects of beauty: http://bigthink.com/videos/dan-ariely-on-advantages-of-physi...

Apparently research has shown that while taller people tend to earn more money, it depends on their height during puberty. People grow at different times, so some people who are tall later in life might not have been so in puberty, while others where already tall in puberty.

The hypothesis is that the effect of tall people earning more might actually be the result of them being more confident, due to already having been tall in their teens. Some effects of beauty might show the same relation.

Just curious, will this change how SAFE docs are structured? IANAL, but right now SAFEs make it challenging for seed investors to get pro rata. That has already been frustrating, and becomes a little more frustrating if YC automatically gets pro rata on top of that. I know it's a free market, and I don't have to invest if I don't like the terms, and so on, but it feels weird for me if YC takes pro rata by default, while their default docs for seed investors are stingy with pro rata rights.

TodoMVC is great because every framework has to implement the same thing. That lets you see some of the warts of the framework.

Skimming over the official Angular docs and examples you probably wouldn't guess that ngRoute won't let you use $routeParams if the app doesn't include an ngView.

The TodoMVC example makes that obvious, since that's the only reason it splits of part of the page into a separate template.

Framework authors and evangelists will naturally show off examples that make the framework look good. People complaining about a framework usually don't understand it well.

Implementing a standard task is a great introduction to a framework.
I'm tempted to say: "Such a rube! Welcome to the world." ;-)

Of course there were going to be problems. I used to be a huge Apple fan, but my enthusiasm has been badly tempered by experience. All the cloud and software-related weirdness of Apple (leave aside for the moment the mysterious hissing noise of my Mac Pro) became too much for me already a loong time ago. For example, iTunes Match completely corrupted my iTunes database but in a weird, random way that necessitated hours if not days of painstaking, manual labor to repair. Then I discovered that almost all my lossless files had been replaced by inferior substitutes, which Apple had explicitly promised would never happen. Oh, morning of joy!!!

I still own Apple hardware; but caught between the scylla of Apple's incompetence and the charybdis of Google's obliviousness (if not outright evilness), I have renounced the "cloud".

My main machine is airgapped and I refuse to let "the cloud" touch any of my files anymore (this is written from a "throwaway" laptop where I don't have anything except a browser and Little Snitch). It's the only way I can hang on to some sense of control over my stuff. This whole intermediation business is going too far these days.
I would tell them what you just told us. If you're afraid of what the hiring manager might think, then maybe the company you're interviewing at is just as bad. It is an applicant's market right now and if you are decent at what you do you can be a little choosey.

As long as you aren't going around, laying blame and spouting stories of dysfunction, you're just describing one of the most common reasons people leave companies. In my view, it's completely justified.

I'll add that I get to hire people, and what you've said here wouldn't scare me from hiring you.
> It's a very large unknown if a disembodied simulated human brain, even if it was a perfect copy, wouldn't be screamingly insane.

What does "disembodied" mean here? Whatever you use to emulate a human brain is going to have a physical substrate and support system (body). It may be differently bodied, but its not going to be disembodied.

(Certainly we know -- and in some cases even have some understanding of the mechanisms -- that parts of the body besides the brain are relevant in controlling how the brain works, so any cognition simulation intended to approximate human thought is likely to need simulation of those parts as well as the brain in the narrow sense, whether through direct physical analogs or simulations of the effects through alternative means.)
You are under no obligation at all to give them any reason whatsoever. Simply tell them your reasons are personal and leave it at that. Not all questions require an answer, some are simply asked to fill the void.
PHP is far from dead, yes. But JavaScript and Node are the first case where in my history where an alternative seems to stick and have proper staying power in PHP devs minds.

This never happened with RoR, for example. It was a passing fad in the mainstream. I know it's probably still used by millions, but relatively to PHP.

I think this needs to be expressed more often. Not only will draconian regimes now allow it, but it's also harder to protect such systems at the ends. I saw a presentation by cperciva at some point that talked about the "Three B's": Bribery, Burglary and Blackmail. So tech should be one of many tools to combat oppressive societal structure - some other ones being more social and legal tools.
