The articles criticism I think stems from the same feeling of discomfort I got when I understood a bit better how drugs are developed. As a culture I think we have a certain faith in the medical system to save us from…
Microsoft seem to have a vision for their device which is quite different from the IPAD. Perhaps I'm reading between the lines too much. Imagine a tablet that connected wirelessly to a nearby monitor and keyboard.…
I think this has to be tempered with an acceptance that we all have strengths and weaknesses, and sometimes you are not the right person for 'that' job. If you are working in a team at a big company it's easy to…
So you've been doing the minimalist living thing? Do you find yourself spending more or less time in the virtual world, having made the physical one a little less comfortable? Also, as an aside, how do you deal with the…
I got no mail, and was signed up for ai, ml, db. It seems only ai is open to registration so far, perhaps to get an idea of demand and discover bugs...
An irc channel on freenode would be ideal. How about irc://irc.freenode.net/#ai-class
I'm one of those people who didn't get a Google Plus invite, so maybe I'm a bit bitter. But no one else I know did either. If facebook can replicate Plus's killer features, even approximately, before it gets put on open…
Imagining that the release is true, this will do strange things for pay bargaining. Imagine if you could look up your colleagues before asking for a rise? On the other hand, I don't recall anything really horrific on…
The illegal technology is so ubiquitous you don't even notice it. As far as I know the DVD player in VLC is illegal. Does anyone remember when the blueray key was released? Without that I just don't think opensource…
In some public NATO reports, they said that during the Kosovo thing, NATO hackers took out specific Serbian radar installations to cover for the strike planes. I guess the Serbians didn't get the memo about putting…
That's sort of like saying that software piracy is theft. Blaming victims for rape is dangerous because it discourages victims from coming forward, and adds to intense feelings of shame and guilt that come with sexual…
I don't think a rational justification is really important to these people, but I believe a lot of the initial anger came from sony removing features from the original playstation. A major feature, removed by automatic…
I've heard that unlike say steel, the majority of gold ever mined is still in circulation, and by circulation I mean locked vaults. A few large organizations control the vast majority of it, and this is especially true…
I've been using emacs for a few months now (it's surprisingly good), and am starting to run into wanting to do little modifications. Speaking as a non-lisper, I really wish a rewrite existed in a more modern language. I…
I love the response. Anyone compiled it? What does the weird return code do?
This presentation: http://goo.gl/hgkea [pdf], shows why skype is evil. The protocol and client are both obfuscated at cost to performance and security. Exploits have been found repeatedly for everything from remote code…
Most of the time, IDEs get these features by calling CLI programs. It's very easy to call CLI programs from VIM/EMACS, and set up bindings to make it very quick. As for code navigation, plugins let you navigate to…
No one want's to be a second tier friend. But it seems to me most people have up to 10 close friends, up to 100 sort of friends (the colleague you like and talk to daily, but wouldn't ask about your sexual problems),…
I haven't been following while you wrote this, so maybe a video where you do a brief outline of the chapters and what we can expect to get out of them would help us decide whether to buy. Also, please consider selling…
