I don’t think making “SDK” a bad word is a good idea.

I get that maybe they are trying to simplify things for non-software people, but this seems a poor attempt.

This seems to be a root document with more links:

After having worked on government contracts for many, many years - this is an amazing leap forward - I had to do some googling. DIB is the Defense Innovation Board (https://innovation.defense.gov/) which consists of some big names (Neil Degrasse Tyson, Eric Schmidt, Reid Hoffman, Marne Levine, among others).

Interestingly CGI is a Canadian company...

Great work, wonderful to see voxel engines becoming more popular and feasible. Also check out http://procworld.blogspot.ca/ great technical write-ups on the engine chosen by Sony for EQ2.

My grandfather took the time to teach me some BASIC back when I was around 7 years old, and it led to my career. I've been working at teaching programming to my kids as well, but the video here inspired me to give the same chance to other kids...

I contacted the principal at my kids elementary school and offered to use my expertise to help any way I could. We get so caught up in what we're doing, it's easy to forget that just a small bit of effort can have a significant impact on peoples lives.

Great story. Even though I love the island, especially if/when you have kids, get out of there. It's sad that rather than advise an intelligent, motivated, hard working individual to stay and make the place better I'd advice them to get out, but I just don't see the problems getting better. There is something broken about the current culture in Puerto Rico. I'm glad I'm raising my kids on the mainland, they are learning the culture and language but in an environment where I don't have to look over my shoulder at all times. There are plenty of bad places here too, but it's much easier to get away from them here than there.

As much as it saddens me, I haven't met anyone who has left and hasn't found a better/safer opportunity here. We're lucky we don't need to worry about citizenship...

Mano y si necesitas ayuda me avisas, yo soy Cagueño también! 3 in one hn thread! Ship me some alcapurrias ;)

Please do expand.

I look very Hispanic, and have a marked accent. What have I been missing in life?

I think your post lays out a clear case that it comes down to parenting, hard work, and access to the USA. And as an American (Puerto Rican) you had access to the only one ordinary people can't control.

But I feel your article gets derailed with too many anecdotal stories. Some rub me the wrong way, but maybe I'm just reading it wrong...

I was also born in Puerto Rico and grew up in Caguas (Bairoa). But that wasn't a bad thing...

I have a horrible accent (which seems will never disappear) and would probably not pass the Texas State Trooper test. But that has not impacted my career...

My family was religious, but the first person I met who believed the world was only a few thousand years old was in Florida. I find it irritating that you would insinuate Puerto Ricans don't believe in Science...

I don't think being or not being Hispanic has anything to do with it. There are plenty of people, minorities or not, stuck in crappy areas. With good parenting, they can at least ensure their kids have a chance at hard work. It's what helped you, and what helped me. I was also the first person in my family with a six figure salary.

We should chat though, boricuas in tech has to be a very small group ;).

Indeed they are:

As a young "minority", living in the South (Appalachia), I just don't get this... People in the South have been as kind, welcoming, and intelligent as people from other areas I've lived/visited.

There are idiots on all sides of the political spectrum, and throughout the world. Lets call them idiots and stop trying to map their behavior to demographics. Maybe it's only been my experience, but as a "minority", I can't wait for all this racism talk to end.

I'm just a human.

Latest update:

"At approximately 7:30am Pacific time this morning, Google began experiencing slow performance and dropped connections from one of the components of App Engine. The symptoms that service users would experience include slow response and an inability to connect to services. We currently show that a majority of App Engine users and services are affected. Google engineering teams are investigating a number of options for restoring service as quickly as possible, and we will provide another update as information changes, or within 60 minutes."

Great article. Another suggestion if you don't mind... the floating Steven Kovar block makes it difficult to zoom in and read in a mobile browser, as it floats on top of the text.

Speaking as a parent of two children who we have spoken exclusively Spanish to, and who picked up English from their environment, friends, and school. There has not been any impact. And this is coming from the teachers, who are usually extremely surprised to learn that we speak only Spanish at home.

You underestimate the ability of children to absorb knowledge from their environment.

As a matter of fact, if anything, it has been a net positive. Kids at a young age have a huge curiosity about languages and having bilingual kids in the classroom encourages the other kids to learn. My first graders class begged to have my daughter teach them some Spanish, and the teacher set aside some time for her to do so. The other parents heard from their kids, and thanked the teacher for it!

I'm in the same boat as you. The code-switching is kind of freaky.... It just happens, and the appropriate language is used for the apporpriate part of the conversation, with the appropriate people who would understand. And I feel the ideas/emotions are transferred more efficiently than when using just one language. Which is why it works so well when angry and venting :).

The challenge I'm having now is doing the same with my kids. My older child has had no problem, and spoke only Spanish until preschool, but my younger one speaks in English to her sister and is having a more difficult time with Spanish...

Is basics of social media conduct a class that should be taught in school?

I mean, it's easy to say these are just idiots. But maybe they really don't understand the ramifications...

This is getting silly now, the hash for my unique strong password was in the list. And there are many others who have stated the same. It should have taken them a whole of 5 minutes to find if these hashes were from their database. It's shameful and shows an utter disrespect for security that they didn't bother salting them (and sha1 really?).

Now it's time for them to own up to the mistake and inform their users, before anyone has anything else compromised.

It was about a year ago now. I checked the hashes for my previous password and it wasn't on the list... Mind you, as many have noticed, it seems to be very incomplete.

My complex unique password is also on this list (full hash no 5 0's). So nope, not a hoax. Unbelievable/insulting they didn't even bother to salt.

The part you're missing (and what I think kls is getting at) is that groupthink is not exclusive to religion. A group of people will gravitate towards each other and stop critically thinking. It sucks, but it's human nature.

Atheists are just as capable of groupthink as any other group (conservatives, liberals, environmentalists, capitalists). And just as religion has been used, and still continues to be used, to justify some truly horrible things; the militant desire for the elimination of religion can be just as bad. Sitting around pointing fingers at a very large and varied group of philosophies doesn't really do any good...

In the parent post you mention we burned Toyota at the stake for a faulty floor mat, and then in the same sentence say "we pay no mind to the religious implications of our world's enormous head counts all tied to religion." What do you propose? We burn those religious at the stake? Because your groupthink of atheism makes you feel superior (saved)? Because critical thinking is king, and those that you deem unable to do so are inferior (not saved)?

Scary, and almost religious...

This report shows us a terribly broken culture. It may have had foundations in religion, but that was so long ago that even if we could magically wipe away all trace of religion or God from the minds of every Mauritanian, the problem would continue. The only way to fix broken cultural aspects is through education, which is what the abolitionists in this report seem to be doing. Maybe it shows my ignorance, but if not for this report I would have never known about this problem, now that I do, I'd love to find ways to help.

Pinning the blame for Mauritania's slavery problem on "religion" takes the eye off the ball, which is fixing the problems there. It also seems like creating a convenient straw man for atheism, which if the constant preaching of is any indication, seems to be turning into quite the religion...

How did this get on here? The guy obviously has religiously political views.

I'm not sure what industry he's in, but in many industries it takes money to increase customer demand. And his absolute statement of "Hiring has no correlation at all to profits or to income - none." What? Again maybe in his industry...

If he has so much money left over, why not set up or donate to a charity that helps mining workers in Appalachia? Or invest it in a business?

If you want to make an argument for higher taxes, this is not the way to do it. This is political drivel, and not worthy of HN.
