ABSTRACT

Presented by Rob Pike

What is Go?

Go is a new experimental systems programming language intended to make software development fast. Our goal is that a major Google binary should be buildable in a few seconds on a single machine. The language is concurrent, garbage-collected, and requires explicit declaration of dependencies. Simple syntax and a clean type system support a number of programming styles.

For more on Go including FAQs, source code, libraries, and tutorials, please see: http://golang.org

ABSTRACT

Presented by Jason H. Wong.

Our brains are not as reliable as we would like to think. Human factors is the science of understanding human cognition and designing systems to work within its limitations. A lot of time and effort has gone into understanding how our brains work (and when they don't). However, we continue to make fundamental design errors that not only go against cognitive science principles but common sense as well. This talk will explore some of the quirkier aspects of our cognition, from visual attention to memory and decision making. There will be copious examples of design gone wrong along with discussions of how to understand how we think and how to avoid making design mistakes in the future.

Dr. Jason H. Wong is a Human Factors Scientist with the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC). He received his Ph.D. in 2009 from George Mason University in Human Factors and Applied Cognition, where he conducted research on visual attention and working memory. He was awarded the Department of Defense SMART Scholarship in 2007. This paved the way for his work at NUWC, where Dr. Wong examines the human-computer interaction aspects of complex systems, develops efficient submariner training methodologies, and creates cognitive models to simulate human performance.

Until now, corporations only influenced politics with high-paid lobbyists and backroom deals. But today, thanks to an enlightened supreme court, corporations now have all the rights the founding fathers meant for us. That's why Murray Hill Incorporated is taking democracy's next step-- running for Congress.

I rated a YouTube video (3 out of 5 stars): My argument is that with basic global income, all humans would have a fair start in life. If the start is fair, then the race is fair. If you cut the cake, I want to select the slice. Behind the veil of ignorance, global basic income is your best bet at getting a good life and that is why its morally superior.

"The poor complain, they always do, but thats just idle chatter. Our system bring rewards to all, at least to all who matter."

I rated a YouTube video (4 out of 5 stars): Our society has evolved in many aspects, except one ... our social system. We need to introduce matching solutions to our problems, but what's happening at the moment is ignoring instead of solving. Our politicians have prostituted themselves in order to keep their positions. If we rely on them, we will still be waiting in 100 years time.

We need to take things in our hands, otherwise our situation is getting worse. The unconditional basic income is the first step to heal the world again. After that we are able to focus on the real problems of our society. But first things first, and soon earth will be a place worth living on ... not only for a few but for everybody.
