I'm not sure that I agree with this ruling. Although Google says that they're using it for one specific purpose, I can imagine that they'll use it for other things like improving their search and ad technologies. If that&#x2

If you haven't already, check out http://www.snpedia.com/index.php/SNPedia . It's kind of cool to cross reference your SNPs to NIH studies.

Yep - lots of fighting - bar fights, street fights, amongst other things (at least as a kid). I turned 40 this year, so it could be an age thing. When I was 20, I probably seemed more similar to you. At least, I was certainly motivated by

Old fashion. :-) But, more seriously, as a counter, I've spent most of my adult life trying to be less 'manly' and more male (xy-chromosomer ). The western traditions of what it means to be 'a man' have not made my

Wait - wouldn't that cause more demand and thus more opportunity on the supply side?

Back around 2000, when I saw education costs rising (and was a big believer in market forces), I figured more educators would enter the market, and things would stabilize. It's been 15 years, and I haven't seen any new colleges or

We live in a strange time. Many of our ancestors worked very hard to provide a better life for 'us', their future generations. And, here we are. We've reached a point where there's not much 'real work' to do fo

Still not following. Believe me, I'm really trying, but something seems off. Maybe an analogy would help. We have two populations A and B. A has walked slower than B. One individual, a1, says 'hey I suspect B (who controls the foo

First thing I thought when reading the headline was 'so is Oracle'. Glad it's mentioned in the article. AWS is absolutely killing it. Every release cycle, they put out quality products that directly attack Oracle. And, Oracle

The federal reserve study seems a little suspect. Not saying it is, but it's curious that it just happened to be 51% of the papers that were deficient. And, their methodology kind of glossed over their sampling strategy. I wish the sc

Interesting thoughts. I've been working in and managing software development teams for a while. The most striking thing about the female developers that I've worked with is how quiet they are (I wouldn't say 'introverted

I got somewhat distracted by your use of words (e.g. pundit class) which seem to be meant to be purely inflammatory (not sure if you meant to be - but it is). But, let's say I follow your logic on its own. Should I just believe that t

Yeah a basic CLI is super easy. I mean at the sophistication required to be as usable as the parent post implies may be more difficult.

It's probably very difficult to evaluate oneself 'objectively' but that said, if it's affecting your life negatively, you may want to get a medical diagnosis. Your sudden paranoid-like behavior could be caused by any one

Assuming a CLI is on parity w/r/t usability as a GUI, which takes a shorter amount of time and less effort to construct? GUI certainly.

That's the first that I'd heard of this 'strong trend in contemporary black counter-culture that opposed race equality and integration' in the years around 1968. Any references where I can read more on the subject? I lo

I only had time to skim, but is the first myth really false? When I was a kid in the 70s - 80s, I had never met another child with autistic like behavior. Yet, of my son's friends, two of them are clearly autistic (and diagnosed), and

Partly, because they're designed that way. Stores that are mandated to issue receipts are giving away trade secrets. If the format was standardized and easily readable then it'd be much easier for competitors to analyze their data

Anyone in academic research able to give a summary of how grants are decided? I'm under the impression that most science research is guided by military, corporate, and imperial needs. And, far less pure science gets funded just to empi

Could part of the problem be that programming languages hijacked ASCII characters which partially hijacked typewriter functionality? Pascal was always my least favorite language, because it never felt practical. For instance, its assignment

Interesting perspective. I had no idea that this was a concern. But, I can certainly relate. As someone who is often involved in hiring, I feel a similar pressure. I try very hard to be objective. But, in order to feel comfortable with

Did I write something that was offensive? If I did, please point it out; otherwise, why the ad hominem?

Certainly a valid point, but I decided against pointing it out, since because of market demands, pretty much anyone with a brain can get a job in tech, currently. That a particularly skilled and experienced candidate was being rejected so f

As a white in tech, I sometimes sense that I'm being discriminated against by Asian / Asian-American hiring managers. For instance, I've never been offered a position by an Asian, whereas I'm rarely not offered a positi

To me, it's simpler. You have people who 'believe' in the current system and their role in keeping it stable and sustainable. And, you have people who don't believe or just don't care. I am unfortunately a believer.

Wow - the guy's simply amazing. So, what would I do if I was as smart, rich, and old as billg? I'd invest in things that exponentially accelerate the rate of collective Human scientific and technological progress. Then, I'd

A matter of personal taste, but I greatly prefer the lambda style (though I wish the example had the .stream() on the following line). I have been coding Java (and C-style) languages for a really long time. And, I still have some cognitive

I used to be a frequent buyer of indie games on steam. But, my buying habits have changed significantly recently. A while ago, interestingly around the same time that the chart's lines started to plummet, I stopped buying indie games.
