> But is incivility communication?

In my comment, publishing any data is communication. But to answer in your framework, still yes. For example, some incivility will necessarily arise in proportion to groupthink (to counter). Classifying this type of incivility as "not communication" is bog standard anti-free-speech.

> If you're at a party in my house and you start behaving obnoxiously towards one of the other guests, I'm going to throw you out

This is always brought up as a justification for censorship because it is technically correct in the small sense.

But reddit's fundamental "asset" is its community, which came about (both implicitly and explicitly) from the idea that reddit is simply a technical platform and actual administration was done by subreddits (modulo the government-imposed censorship of any centralized site).

To continue your analogy, your parties got popular because they were awesome. When you switch to restricting people to 3 beers and ending at 10pm, it's entirely appropriate for people to denounce you as uncool and urge their friends to stop going.

> trolls could easily wreck an otherwise productive forum by lowering the signal-to-noise ratio below a certain threshold

> usenet ... tragedy of the commons

Don't find the citation for my sake, as my intuition agrees (it may have been posted to HN, too). FWIW, I think the same thing happens from low-quality non-trolling users.

For a decentralized system, users need their own filters and interesting configurable policies for unknown nyms (eg: be vouched for by other users, probabilistic viewing, requiring an anonymous bearer token). And there could certainly be opt-in voluntary aggregation points with differing policies, but they wouldn't own the users.

In relation to reddit, this problem only arises for the whole site due to the conflation of meta-forum and forum.
You can see exactly where the car is on your phone! I admit, not a great experience but certainly rare and obviously the sort of thing that Uber can minimize and regular taxi companies cannot.
Right. I was thinking only of time series.
Skybus is $18, which is not great, but it's better than $70 and it does run ridiculously frequently. It's pretty quick in traffic too, since it uses the carpool lane.

Edit: So long as you can deal with the sometime nausea inducing movement.
Unless we somehow lose the need to socialize, I can't see myself agreeing with your first point. People are excited to move to SF/NY so they can be around young, bright, like-minded peers.

People move out to the burbs once they find a mate, settle down, and have kids. Then they don't need to get liquored up with their buddies on the weekend and look for drunken revelry and romance.

Moving out to the boonies in your early 20's would probably stunt your social development, even if you could get paid decent money to maintain a couple of servers in SF out of Ironton, Ohio.

Also, 2 incomes - how do you manage that? One active and one passive I'm assuming.

I used to do that with separation kernels, security through diversity, and so on. My framework (below) I eventually published for free after Snowden leaks because people weren't keeping up with attackers.

Thing is, though, that the hardware kept getting in the way. I discovered too slowly that the problem, as Snow said, was the hardware inherently made safe or secure computing difficult. So, my counterpoint to Dan Geer (below) pointed that out, gave many examples, and showed it must be the first step. So, we need hardware like Burroughs, System/38, SAFE (crash-safe.org), or Cambrige's CHERI that makes our job inherently easy instead of FUBAR.

FPGA's might be modified by clever software attack along with being slow and expensive. ASIC's with right logic might be immune to software attack and fast but are EXPENSIVE. So, I was exploring S-ASIC option for non-modifiable, cheaper NRE than ASIC, and faster/cheaper than FPGA (maybe). I was going to do anti-fuse if I had to do FPGA's. Not sure what their cost or tooling is like vs typical Altera or Xilinx FPGA's.

Anyway, that's what I was aiming at. Appreciate your tip. Hmm, Opterons and PowerPC G5's were done at 90nm albeit custom. Can probably squeeze quite a bit more performance out of that easic than I thought. Could always go old school and do 4-way SMP box. :)
... then they could take fares around the airport and get matched for an actual ride at the airport without having to wait in line idly. The difference here is that they can make better use of their time while still possibly getting an airport fare, if that's what they desire for some reason.

No one expects these words to have magical effects - the anti-SJW "movement" is quite well aware that SJW is little more than window dressing on top of bullying. The point of posts like the one you are responding to to illustrate to thinking people that there isn't a consistent philosophy behind the words and they are merely a power grab.

FYI, ttrashh's third sentence should have been the tipoff.
You can be sure it doesn't execute twice because the generation is lazy/on-demand. When you create a generator, nothing gets actually done, it just sits there waiting for you to pull elements from it, and which point it'll actually generate one element (and wait for you to request another).

This is in contrast with list comprehensions, which have a similar syntax, but which generate a full list immediately after being declared.

We can't talk specifically to brain-training for alzheimer's, and we know, for instance, that brain-training doesn't work for actually making you smarter.

As more of our socialising moves online the need for physical socialising will decline. Anyway there are plenty of cheap places in the world with a great social life, but without local jobs. Remote working would allow you to have your cake and eat it.

The idea of breeding cephalopods for increased intelligence is touched on in the (great) novel, "Manifold: Time".

Not cephalopods specifically, but the idea of breeding smarter animals is touched on by David Brin in his "Uplift" novels.

I've often thought about how fascinating it would be if some organization took on the long-term task of breeding for intelligence. Perhaps it would require a well-funded non-profit to provide the resources. Could it be done more open-source styled, with standardized tests, individuals breeding animals and submitting gene sequences for analysis (is there a 23andme for animals)?

How interesting would it be to (ultimately) talk to a gorilla or octopus philosopher?
The difference in share price won't be that big. Your analysis isn't wrong, but you haven't followed it all the way through.

If there is a big difference in price then that's an arbitrage opportunity for somebody, in the end all shares have the same claim on the company and will get the same payout if Google is bought or split up. In this case there would be a bunch of people buying class C shares in anticipation of the activist shareholders winning. Additionally, the price of the voting shares won't go up that much because the activist investors can't pay more than what they perceive the value of the company to be.
On the other hand, pointer chasing is decidedly not memory friendly. And mutable memory has a great deal of mechanical sympathy! A function's entire stack frame can live in the L1 or L2 cache. Imagine something like determining the length of a linked list, and then GCing all of the intermediate values.

I am not sure what the cost is of the cache coherency hardware, but if it were high, then presumably single-core CPUs would have a big advantage on single-threaded workloads. That doesn't seem to be the case.
I typically browse via nested VPN chains and Tor, and overall latency is ca. 500-1000 msec.

I'm not sure anything you wrote is very accurate beyond the reliance on web search ads. Their hold on Android is very strong and is an amazing demonstration of product expertise. Nest will likely continue to make inroads into the home. Google still appears to be the self-driving car leader and it's easy to see how that could be an incredible business for it. Considering Google search and Android are (humongous) consumer products, I have no idea what you mean that it "wants to be a consumer company".
I hate to say it, but your people really need to redesign the entire website. https://docs.bigobject.io is a better starting point than your main website. Your "Learn" page only has a video, but most developers would skip your "Quick Start Tour" video and assume it was a waste of time if they can't first spend time reading a detailed text explanation of how BigObject works. No link leads from "Learn" to your docs site. Technically, a link to docs does appear in the sidebar of the Product page, but that page contains so much uninformative text that many readers would lose interest before examining the sidebar. Please consider moving the information at https://docs.bigobject.io/docs/why-bigobject-analytics to your main page.
It's interesting how we have written off all of computing's current problems as solved and are seeking the next big thing. I'd hardly say the world's information is organized, universally accessible, and useful. In fact, while the Search Engine concept has served us well, I really hope it is not the last word on making information accessible and useful. There is so much room for innovation here it is sad, really.

Computing leaves so much to be desired.
The reason for requiring a FIPS-validated crypto provider is that means the crypto provider been audited by a vetted auditor. In order to carry sensitive information, the crypto needs to be audited by a vetted auditor. "The CIO's nephew totally coded up the crypto last Summer, just trust us that it's good" doesn't cut it when handling sensitive government data. In particular, it means that random values are generated by a FIPS-certified generator, not just srandom(time()^getpid()); int x = random(); int y = random(); int z = random(); The government needs some kind of auditing standard and practice for systems that handle sensitive information. FIPS is far from perfect, but it gives a good lower bound on what the government is buying.
John Markoff exploited his privilege as a New York Times tech reporter and the general public's ignorance of computer hacking for personal gain, creating the infrastructure that tortured another human being for what ended up being not much more than e-graffiti tagging, trolling a few people, and having access to code that ended up being open sourced anyways.

He laid the framework for the ridiculous idea that Kevin Mitnick could "launch nuclear missiles by whistling into a phone", and as a result Kevin was thrown into solitary confinement for 8 months, and then after that he spent the remainder of 5 years in a prison cell without being given the due process of a fair trial:

`Mitnick served five years in prison—four and a half years pre-trial and eight months in solitary confinement—because, according to Mitnick, law enforcement officials convinced a judge that he had the ability to "start a nuclear war by whistling into a pay phone"`

As this process unfolded, John Markoff did nothing to attempt to correct for the consequences of his actions, unpollute the public's understanding of hackers, apologize, or do anything. Instead, he continued to defend what he had wrote, knowing full-well that it was completely false information, and signed a book deal that ended up further polluting the public's knowledge of the situation (and being a terrible book, 2.5 stars on Amazon and I'm amazed it's even that high).

The shadow is still very much there, and it will continue to stain journalistic ethics for many years to come.

Probably very interesting.

Being bred for human style intelligence, it would have similar capabilities to our own in terms of cognitive capacities. Yet its metaphors for interacting with the world would all be based on the body of an octopus. It would have a tenticle in both worlds.

Some things would overlap, like big meaning important, sharp meaning dangerous or cutting. Others might not, for instance any metaphor having to do with wetness would probably have a different meaning for the octopus whose home is the water than it does for those of us on land.
I remain unsold on the feasibility of remote working at scale. I also sense a backlash against "fake" ways to scratch the social itch, such as accruing likes on a facebook photo or watching countless Snapchat stories. A lot of my friends are getting fed up and ditching the services. They still go out and socialize physically just as much as before.

Ah, so you have two sets of costs then as well, and possibly a third on the horizon. Best of luck to you in securing a nice house in a nice neighborhood. Maybe wait until the current real estate bubble pops. Then you can rent it out to random people and have them work there with you :)

Had implemented this for a grad school project long time back. We had compared the complexity and effectives of this algorithm and compared it with lru, by the end the results of both were comparable unless in certain special conditions arc works well, whereas lru fails like a virus scan etc. But the simplicity of lru triumphs.

Of course; you can breed for anything. But intelligence wouldn't be very interesting -- what you'd really want is to get them to communicate.

>And how does the Right Question appear if not through exploration and manipulation of the data?

Questions don't magically come out of a data set. Doing so is called a fishing expedition and usually results in boring, descriptive results which have no impact.

To answer impactful questions, you must go into your data collection with the questions in mind. To understand what questions to ask, you need a trained, critical, and creative mind. That is something you don't get from pushing bits.

>If you can't program and manipulate data

Programming, and manipulating data is easy. Almost every new statistician these days can, and does do this routinely.

What's hard is the years of intuition about what is meaningful and what is noise.

I know. It's hard to hear, and career programmers most of all hate to hear it, but its the truth.

I think a lot of the issues involving overuse of state, are primarily related to using OO when a pure function would suffice. It's just too tempting to dynamically assign attributes to mutable instances.

To be fair, when Django is used properly it isn't usually an issue. Besides the queryset/model API is extremely nice, and at this point very polished.
I know that this is true in general, but this case here seems tricky to me. Look at the following line:

> yield (s[len(s)//2:], s[:len(s)//2])

I'm aware that the generator is being called lazily, but here we're actually calling each yield twice - once the left side is thrown away, once the right side downstream. Now, are you still sure that left and right is generated only once?
