   This sort of thing is why so many have decided to preemptively reject GMO foods. After so many failures, anything artificial in food is guilty until proven innocent. Engineered food really has a terrible record. With the exception of a few

   "Left" and "right" are pretty superficial things.

   This stuff really isn't liberal at all. Our culture is Protestant, Christian, Puritan. Always present beneath it is a deep subsurface ocean of sexual paranoia, prudery, and holier than thou moral crusading. Overt religious forms of thi

   The article hits on this but doesn't bring up Google's high turnover rate. Google is a resume tick box. Go over to AngelList and look at lists of startups. Take a drink every time you see 'worked at Google' listed as a q

   When I looked it over it struck me as a stripped down Java that's friendlier for systems programming and could interoperate with C without the torture of JNI.

   Ultimately we need more secure OSes and apps. If something being 'exposed' a little is that dangerous, it means it's broken.

    It's not the difficulty people are whacking, but the practice of white board coding.

    Curious: how does one discuss negative things without negativity? Oops... missed a dose of Soma. You're absolutely right. It's also a way of prohibiting criticism, since it's sort of hard to criticize without... umm... critic

    You're absolutely right that "everything isn't broken" and some things are better. The problem is that all the better things are mostly not helping ~90% of the population. You do have orders of magnitude better access

    Not overall. There may be a bubble in certain small areas of tech, but there is nothing happening right now that equals the mania of the late 1990s. I was there, and nope. Totally different economy and culture. To have a bubble like that yo

    I don't see that... or rather, if it's true here it's true to a significantly greater extent in most other industries. Money continues to be available, and often lots of it. It's available on better terms than most other

    "hide complexity" You mean hide ugly sprawling uninstallable messes of rube goldberg code? :) I'm referring to things that require PHP+MySQL, Node, Redis, and an old JVM process running Struts/Spring all managed by nginx

    Real estate is basically a sponge. Any surplus wealth in an economy is soaked up by unlimited real estate inflation. You can see this with the tech wealth in the Bay -- all those high salaries just inflate real estate. This happens when you

    In the short term there's probably some truth to this, but in the long term I'm talking more about the hyperdeflationary effect of a "software defined world" than about outsourcing of labor.

    You are absolutely correct. As is the case in other countries with a strong religious fundamentalist base, there are many who are willing to suffer in order to punish perceived sinfulness. I guess you see the most extreme version of this wi

    I'm curious about this. Any references? The problem I see is that you already have this huge taxation burden which soaks up surplus wealth that might power such things. Implementing basic income at the government level would redirect t

    While I'm not a fan of coercive taxation, it's better than The Hunger Games. It's also important to note that populist revolutions also often result in totalitarianism. So without basic income I think we have a choice between

    Guaranteed basic income. It's the only way... at least if we want a future that is actually good for more than ~10% of the human race. The only alternatives are bloody destructive revolutions or totalitarian panopticon police states to

    It's just jargon. Sometimes in CS/IT discussions I will switch off the part of my brain that parses IT jargon and acronyms. It becomes utter gibberish. There are real ideas there. I'm not totally convinced they're all go

    Windows NT is sad for its missed opportunity. MS could have done something inspired by these newer architectures. They did depart from Unix, but to do something in no way better and in many ways worse.

    Depends on who you're talking to. For some people, college is huge -- those also tend to be the people for whom Stanford, MIT, or Harvard counts more than ten degrees from a state school. For others what you've done will count for

    Our unsustainability is exponential, and our innovation is exponential. We have two exponential curves. If the depletion/unsustainability curve wins, we all die horribly in something resembling a cross between Mad Max, ISIS in Iraq, an

    I have heard that. Open organizations with no inner or outer boundaries tend to become pathocracies -- ruled by psychopaths and other pathological abusive personality types. Hierarchy can facilitate abuse, but it can also be a tool for limi
