You gotta kick them out. Unless they get cancer or are struck by lightning this kind of babysitting of 25 year olds does more damage than good. And with Mom and Dad around taking care of things there is zero motivation to make mistakes, lea

With elections around the corner. And everyone dependent on FB I am finding it hard to believe anything is going to happen until after 2020. Who expects a politician, to take a stand on this when their views, clicks and likes might take a h

Practice. Practice. Practice. My prof set up a small reading group when I was in college. 5-6 students would get together every week and discuss a preassigned paper. I was like you, lacking in confidence, hesitant to disagree, handling con

It's quite clear what he is saying. Programming languages are what programmers use. And how programmers think is dominated by how a computer works, which is usually a gigantic distraction to actually solving real world problems. Newton

> outside programmers This is not true. Ask a Lawyer, Accountant or a Journalist wading through govt pdfs. The reasons cases and investigations take forever is the time spent manually reassembling related data residing in different orgs.

So if some critical mass of the population find Mark Zuckerburg offensive can we get him banned?

Having been around hospitals a bit, I have a feeling some percentage of the population just don't want to deal with the medical establishment. Whether it's because of bad experiences from the past or what their families have been

Just google news search Yeti. Hundreds of news links yesterday.

Well the Indian Army was very eager to claim they found a Yeti yesterday. People in the military clearly aren't immune to the bullshit propagation syndrome effecting everyone thanks to the news media and social media making Seeking Att

We are a at new point, compared to those in the past thanks to the level of interconnectedness. Its very hard to actually see how much things are connected until things break down and the connections reveal themselves. Applying deadly force

Well Europe has figured out how to redirect all that energy into football so other paradigms are possible. Before that discovery they spent most of history killing each other every 3 months or so.

I had to google Thatcher in the Rye :) Thanks for the laugh. That said I have hope. The more clowns in power, the more pressure on real leaders to step up. This is a phase where the media and social media have allowed things to happen that

Why? These fields have never had access to this level of data. What they bumbled about doing in the past without all the data, cannot be used to judge what their impact is going to be in the future with it.

hmm...Mark Z stood his ground well enough. Didn't expect that. Long way to go to work all this stuff out, but there is some depth to some of the things he is saying. Not just typical corporate denial/defense I am used to seeing.
