So, I want to be very clear, I am not suggesting this analysis is sound. However, it provides data to answer your question.

In other words: yes.
Thank you thank you thank you thank you so much for writing this comment.

I had no idea that this blog post would blow up the way it has, reaching far more people than I ever thought. I originally wrote it with people like you in mind - people who know me personally, and otherwise would never have realized that someone they know personally was affected by our policies like this.

The post was really difficult to write - I didn't want to have to relive that experience again just to put it onto the page - but seeing a comment like this makes it worth it.
From my understanding, Google and Google Ventures are 100% independent.
Here's one way:

1) Join the HTML5 trial http://www.youtube.com/html5

2) Open Chrome inspector, select the <video> element

3) In the Chrome console, type $0.playbackRate = 2.0 ($0 refers to the element you've selected in the inspector)

This also works for other sites that use the HTML5 video element, and allows you to go faster than 2x if you prefer.

YouTube's HTML5 interface also has a menu option (gear icon) which has a speed control, but the Chrome inspector trick works with any HTML5 site.
To seed a comment, here are some VIM links I have enjoyed recently:

How exactly do you use this thing? Do you have to have the earphones cord running from your wrist to your head to actually use any of the nano's intended functionality? That, to me at least, looks like you're being brain monitored or something.
Yeah, it's so hard!

This is sound advice and I've seen this in quite a few small multi-server environments. The only thing I'd say is that once you get to 5 - 10 servers you might want to look at a VPN such as openVPN (http://www.openvpn.net/), at which point all your SSH services can run on their hidden networks.

This makes a bigger difference as well if you have more than a few people accessing the boxes, and for purely remote-based businesses quite a few use this type of setup to host their 'internal' network tools like an intranet, file storage, internal wiki etc.

If you have the cash and capability, I'd recommend an IPSEC VPN over OpenVPN (using something like a low-end Cisco ASA for example, but shop around - the point is to use dedicated hardware), but if you're starting out, OpenVPN is fine.
I should chime in here. I've been bootstrapping a small games business for about a year. My first game Neptune's Pride has seen some success and my second game Blight of the Immortals is due out in January.

I'm on the iPad right now, email me and we can chat off line.
You are preventing the users from making emotional investment in your game by witholding progess feedback. I don't think it is a good idea. Just display big flashy numbers when a user places a square on a tile.

And if you really really want decent AI then maybe you should hire some people, teenagers, kids to play it for a while.
This is also good advice. I didn't want to put it in as I just wanted it to be an explanation of my own position on port munging and to keep it fairly simple, but ssh-agent is a great way of making multiple ssh accesses easier.

Surely that's normal?
I believe that somewhereoutth means that after the tape removing operation you must have three separate separate components, used tape, cable, and floor. If you separate the tape+cable from the floor the tape tends to wrap around the cable and stick to itself making removal very difficult.
No. It's pure 'not invented here.' If your 3d format can do NURBS it can do anything.
Source maps I suppose.
You'd think the solution to "scared" and well armed officers wouldn't be more weapons.

Tasers were heralded as a way to reduce casualties because they were a less-than-lethal replacement for guns, but now cops are still shooting unarmed people dead and using tasers as legal torture devices.

US police doesn't exactly have a stellar track record when it comes to the equation "problems + more equipment = less problems".
Yeah, though given the history of both of the former I'm a bit wary of using a non-open source solution I can't host myself (Newsblur can be self hosted, but AFAIK Feedrinse can't).
That's the point if we increased to 6000 members, it would be more 'normal' people running the country, and less about persuasion. It shouldn't even be about politicians/persuasion. It should be about getting a fucking job done that helps people, not gets their 'pet' project accomplished because 'narcissism'. How do you think narcissistic persuasion is good for government? Have you looked at how far mired in shit we are?

Why people are so afraid of change when ANYTHING is better than what we're currently dealing with in Washington. The entire system is one fucked up Republic just waiting for the fate of Rome to befall it. If it's not already too late. We've already lost our place as the #1 country in the world on SO many levels where it really matters: Education, Healthcare, Freedom, Journalistic Integrity, Propaganda, Human Services, etc...
Interesting perspective and I mostly agree with the kernel of your article.

A few small gripes.
All three words start with the letter M perhaps to make them easy to recall, but I feel like other words that are more familiar wrt the subject matter (from existing literature), could serve the same purpose better.

The kernel of your article and the preceding “Craftsman, Executive” seems to dwell on learning to make the right decisions for the context at hand, which we can just generalize to decision-making.

Herbert Simon, one of the best thinkers on decision-making, came up with a model that was improved upon by George Huber, that is neatly captured by this graphic:

https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Asefeh_Asemi/publicatio...

The diagram helps highlight the differences & similarities between the two modes.

Using the diagram to better understand your article, I would characterize

- meta: intelligence

- mystical: design

- mundane: monitoring
A good chunk of countries, counties and cities on the planet have mythical beasts in their official signage. So do the militaries and companies dealing with them. From the other end, entrepreneurial scene is full of discussions about a particular mythical beast, the unicorn (as 'DoreenMichele pointed out upthread). And, of course, dragons.

Really, it doesn't seem to me that you're uncomfortable with mythical beasts per se. It's just this creature isn't part of the old, baseline culture. It isn't Greek/Roman/Chinese mythology. It's a part of the nerd subculture. That's what I think you're uncomfortable with.
Just to clarify, it is officially called 'American Service-Members' Protection Act' which was supposedly passed as there was a chance George W. Bush could be arrested & tried at ICC for war crimes; media & human rights organizations call it 'Hague invasion act' for what it is.
It was already the default in 2.0 unless you explicitly disabled it, so 2.1 should not be a surprise :-)

I bought this course and I did not like it. It is wayyy to verbose and way to slow even when playing in 2.5x the speed. I learned way more with this free version of the intro to swift https://www.udacity.com/course/ud585
That certainly is one way to look at it.

But people still do lots of horrible jobs. People work waiting for crap pay and abuse by people as well.
That second bug is lacking in technical details, but the first one is clearly about the memory consumption of the CSS rules used to hide elements. If you only use rules that match URIs instead and not element ids, ABP is extremely efficient.

It's worth remembering that ABP only implemented the element-hiding feature so that things like inline text ads could be blocked, but now the popular rule lists are using a large number of broad rules to hide all kinds of elements, many of which could probably have been effectively blocked with URI-matching rules.

Additionally, it's very unfair to the ABP devs to be criticizing the performance or memory usage of ABP when the problem is really the memory usage of EasyList. Using a more restrained and targeted rule list makes the problems go away.
If you were looking for MITM targets likely to have access to many interesting things, HN would be high on the lists of sites to intercept.
I've written a bunch of stuff about this, but yeah these past few posts/submissions make me realize that there would be utility in a centralized post. I think the closest thing I've written about this is "Letter To A Young Songwriter"– http://visakanv.com/1000/0152-letter-to-a-young-songwriter/
There just don't seem to be many restrooms around. And even if the schedule allows for it, maybe the bottle saves time and drivers could opt for it simply to get home sooner.

Principle is not at all “in effect deductible” in the slightest. If you spent money on expenses that is deductible whether you borrowed that money or not and has absolutely nothing to do with principal. On the second point accelerated depreciation is NOT a subsidy in the slightest either and not at all related to government debt. Depreciation is already a delayed acknowledgment of expenses. Without depreciation someone would deduct the entire amount of a cost immediately and pay much lower taxes. Accelerated depreciation costs taxpayers nothing. The government is not funding anything, the government is collecting less tax up front but more over time. Whether the government has liabilities is irrelevant. I don’t understand the point you are making on communism or how that relates at all unless you assume all tax collected is communist.
That was exactly my point. Too bad there is 0% chance that all of a sudden county/city governments across the nation suddenly decide to double to triple the pay for those positions so that they can be filled by competent people.

Thomas may have phrased it badly, but his underlying point that declaring code in a program satisfies the 17 USC 101 definition of "computer program" seems sound.

Declaring code in statement based languages is (1) a set of statements, is (2) used directly or indirectly in a computer, and it is used (3) to bring about a certain result. That hits all the points listed in 17 USC 101.

This is trivial to prove. Take a program that works and remove the declaring code. The program no longer works. That shows that the declaring code is indeed being used by the computer, and it is being used to bring about a certain result.

That the declaring code is not directly used in actually calling the API is irrelevant. The "certain result" the declaring code is used to bring about is the compiler producing output that works with the API.
How is J2ME not competing?
I don't see any reason why the Irelands of the world would be amenable to the idea of a minimum corporate tax rate. There are huge economic benefits to be had by luring US and UK companies with favorable tax treatment. Yellen's fantasy about getting every country to apply the same high tax rate against their interests is not helping the US's global competitiveness.

In business, if you find yourself in a "race to the bottom" on price it typically means your product has become a commodity. The antidote to commodification is strong branding. Instead of trying to collude on tax rates like some kind of financial mafioso, somebody in Washington needs to figure out how to rescue the brand of the United States in order to reverse this trend.

I have spent many years as a concept artist in the video game industry. About 1.5 years ago I decided to take the dive into tech by taking a UI/UX certificate at Berkely Extension. Professionally I spent the last 1.5 years building and maintaining the design system and production processes for Google Fi and have recently come to the end of my contract. I would love to find a job with a smaller company that will allow me to deep dive into a variety of problems and work with supportive and smart people.

Thanks!
Difficulty in version control and testing is one of the reasons I don't think I could ever work in a no-code environment. It's an issue that I'm sure many people don't care much about but it's also a big reason I doubt no-code will ever overtake custom code solutions.

I think that in science there is an inherent tension between what scientists know and what what the public knows.

Scientific knowledge is covered in asterisks. To read and understand science typically requires an extensive amount of background knowledge; without that it is very easy to misinterpret the strength, significance, or applicability of a scientific finding. Many of the asterisks are themselves scientific conclusions with their own set of asterisks.

The public, at least in areas which are not immediately relevant to daily life, cannot be assumed to have that background knowledge. Therefore, the tension is essentially this: How can scientists make people aware of (or interested in) scientific knowledge if they have to strip out all the asterisks when talking to them?

Making science into a catechism is simply one solution to the above problem. Ignore the asterisks and turn the fundamental findings of physics and chemistry into dogma and dispense it as gospel truth. I actually am somewhat o.k. with this. Sure, Joe Public might come away with an over-simplified and over-confident knowledge about what science says, but I think that a clumsy knowledge of scientific facts is better than the impression that scientific knowledge is arcane and out of reach. After all, it is highly unlikely that Joey P. will find himself in a situation where it is very important for him to really understand all the subtleties behind his k-8 scientific knowledge, but that knowledge is likely to come in handy.

The only problems with the science-as-religion solution are a potential "loss of faith" and the perception of arbitrarity with regards to scientific findings. The first can easily happen when someone learns about a new finding which contradicts the dogmatic version of science but is entirely consistent with the heavily asterisked actual scientific consensus. The second problem is basically "rejectability;" if people think that science is a set of arbitrary rules, then they are free to reject them the same way they would reject other religions.
The headline is misleading. The article body doesn't claim that these 15 billionaires (actually it lists 20+, but focuses on the majority partners) own all, or any overwhelming majority, of US news media. It describes itself more accurately as

> Here’s a look at some of the billionaires who own news media in the United States

Many news outlets are instead owned by publicly traded companies: News Corp, Disney, the New York Times. Plenty more are small businesses.

Yes, there have been mergers and acquisitions, but I would say it's more fragmented than many other healthy industries. If you just read the headline and thought "it's unconscionable that these 15 people should own 50% (or whatever) of US news media assets", what number would you think reasonable? 30? 100? 1000?
That's pretty incredible. Glad they shared to spread the insight because I'll definitely hold onto the lessons learned from it.
I bet he would, because he's saying "this is the quality of life I want and this is the price I am willing to pay to get it."

In your book "I want to live in Sweeden. I am happy to give up 15% less. But I won't do it to somehow spite my company for paying more to its German employees."

He's be an idiot to think like that.
I think you need to also include the reality that you graduate to 2 to stop the bleeding from 1 and 3. I’ve been at companies where we have had literally no choice but to implement 2 because the ops team was drowning due to every part of the business demanding to be priority 1 and not being able to actually reason about prod because devs would manually make changes.

The underlying symptom is bad project management and more work than the team can handle but convincing the business that the ops team actually needs to be twice the size and have dedicated managers falls on deaf ears.

Understanding how something works does not preclude enjoyment or wonder. Richard Feynman rather famously observed that understanding more of the science can deepen your appreciation:

> In Tom’s case, if he were to take the project, he should negotiate...

Negotiate? What does Tom have to negotiate with?

As an employee, if he's assigned a task it's his job to do it. He could certainly ask for resources but the term "negotiate" seems to imply he has some choice in the matter. Like he could decide to refuse to take on the project.

This is the reality I find myself in. Now I've just decided to care about the job only as much as management does. If they don't care about certain issues; why should I? They've shown me time and time again that doing a good job or doing a mediocre job is all the same to them.

I've decided to focus my energies in other parts of my life and I feel less depressed about my job now.
I know that quite a few states do this, I don't have an exact number so I don't want to quantify it, but it's more than at least 8 (<- every state I have lived in does it + cali).

Also, while not directly disclosed on a per employee basis, every single federal employee salary can be determined since their level and years of service is not confidential and their salary is based on a schedule. Same for the military(even easier since they wear their 'level' on their sleeve).
I used to take Ritalin, and it had serious negative effects on me after a while. When it would wear off I would become depressed and unable to do anything until the next morning when I would take it again. Since then I've been diagnosed with depression in addition to my ADHD, so it's possible that the Ritalin simply exacerbated an existing condition.

I do sometimes wonder if the depression is caused by the fact that I've taken stimulants of one kind or another for most of my adult life, as I don't recall ever being depressed as a child or teenager, at least not in the same way that I recall having ADHD.

I could talk about recreational drugs too (I used psychedelics from time to time in college), but I don't have much profound to say, aside from that you get out of them what you put in, and setting has a large effect on whether it's a mind-opening experience or not.

I have an idea about model numbers involving gross overgeneralization:

Asian cultures have a fetish for numbers. When working with a Korean company in the past, they would list their questions/answers in email in numbered lists; never bulleted or simply segmented in paragraphs, always numbered. In Mandarin, not only are the months simply numbered (it's not "June", it's "Month 6"), but extended family get the same treatment ("13th Aunt"). Goku and Vegeta (yeah, great example) keep blathering about numbered Power Levels.

Like I said, overgeneralization, but it's just a thought.

As for the original question; as most people say, the other laptop manufacturers provide a wider set of choices, and they offer them at prices people can actually afford.
The new backend is called "bitcask". Here is an introduction to it: http://downloads.basho.com/papers/bitcask-intro.pdf

This will be fast indeed. They mention 5000-6000 writes per second which seems very low to me however. Then again, they do not mention the size of the values written.

I too became enamored with log-based storage engines in December of last year. I created one myself to play around and learn. I moved on before adding in compaction, but the performance was "excellent" (200K writes per second, 5K random reads per second). Granted, the data model is literally just key-value however.

http://github.com/fictorial/logstore/commit/9ffa46a249a62a78...

Read a paper by Ousterhout about log-based storage here:

http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.117....

Maybe of interest is a somewhat wacky project in which data is stored in sparse files. The big limitations here are that your system needs support for sparse files, you use a number of pre-created sparse files, and each item's maximum size is fixed. Pretty big limitations! Then again, for trivial purposes, it is ridiculously fast since an item's file and location is trivially computed and I/O uses mmap.

http://github.com/fictorial/sparsestore

Sorry, I got excited that there was someone else who was interested in wacky data storage engines!
It's brand reinforcement. Notice, each time you typed those, you typed the name of the manufacturer.

Not saying it's a better approach than the Macbook, but high end car manufacturers do it too. It's why Lexus and Mercedes have cars named like LS400, S500, etc. You have to say the brand name with each model, reinforcing the brand.
I haven't read any of his books, though I got many recommendations from friends. Which one should I start with? (don't care much about relevance to startup/business, as long as its a good book)
Also, start keeping a separate google calender (subcalendar) for small daily routines you want to do (i.e. workout, check todo lists, etc). Set it up to SMS / push to your device, But don't sync the calendar on your mobile.

This way your calendar app on your phone only shows the important events in your month view, and you still get notified when to do daily things like "check todo list"
