> This article is so chock full of speculation and all around horrible advice it's hard to pick just one thing to criticize.

I always thought "This is so wrong I'm not going to criticize it" was a pretty lame way to disagree. Also, there's no speculation - it's real world stuff that worked for him from a guy who is rather successful...

Edit, one more:

> I feel sorry for those who take legal advice from people who are not lawyers.

Actually, I disagree with this. Don't just take advice from lawyers on dealing with lawyers - their advice tends to skew a certain way (usually towards more billable hours). Advice from successful businesspeople on dealing with lawyers is very valuable too.
nobody would actually take less money, right?

Often it appears that you take a hit to your pay, but when you do the benefits math (paid holidays, vacation, health insurance, sick days) it's at least a wash.
BTW, this isn't really the first time.

It's at least the third time.

There was a case where someone got a bone marrow transplant (because of cancer) and the donor was immune to HIV which cured the recipient.

Also some people are naturally immune.
My point with the 3D body example is that it was not done by MS.

But take a look at a place like CodeProject. People post their projects and write up an article describing the technical aspects of that project. It's actually a surprisingly strong community. In the past month ~500 written or updated. I actually tend to find this place more interesting than GitHub or CodePlex, due to the exposition.
Most of the contractors I know are making about $100/hour. I dont know any FTEs that are making $200k per year.
It’s really sad that you are blind to your own severe discrimination. If you think in sweeping generalizations like, “leftists make the mistake...” you really need to step back and spend time not commenting at all and work harder to gain more self-awareness about your own prejudices.

I know you will not like this comment and you will want to knee-jerk reply to “refute” it, but you need to resist that urge and admit you have really significant and really troubling prejudices that come through like a megaphone to others observing you, and spend time just dealing with that.
Just the term 'astroturf' and the meaning behind it makes me feel like an ancient roman 5 years before the collapse of the roman empire.
The pronoun associated with a gunship is "it", I have no problem referring to people as "it" if that's what it prefers.
I had a bad time with this a little over a year ago and stopped using Signal over it.

If my phone was off and I used Signal Desktop in the meantime, when I turned my phone back on the sync would often take as long as half an hour, with my phone buzzing for each message received during the duration in which I was online.

I contacted support and, well, it's a free product, what do you expect?

I stopped using it after I received a text message from my then-fiance about a medical diagnosis and couldn't call her back until Signal stopped overloading my phone. Awful. Purged from my device and I never recommend them anymore.
> They need to know where your primary residence is

I think even for privacy reasons it's perfectly reasonable to never give out your address. You can always give out a UPS box as your primary address.

You could also have 2 residences in 2 states or even 2 countries and have them both with weight=0.5 and no primary node.

The entire idea of a "residence" address is an invented notion and de facto optional. You could always be on the move in an RV for example and still go show up for remote work every day.
The best thing about the Swedish system is that it also ruins the public schools. All schools get paid per student, so public schools have also taken to using marketing and non-education related ways to attract students, such as "cool" designs, free ipads etc.
This argument is equivalent to supporting the IRS going after small-time tax cheats because the big boys - with billions in public revenue lost by their fraud every year - are "too difficult" to prosecute.

Regulators exist to prevent the most dire threats to a system - the system being the American economy, not simply financial markets (and their profits). They should act like it.

If a crisis manufactured by Wall Street hubris and capitalized upon by retail traders functionally crashes the system by way of a massive wealth transfer, so be it. Regulators should be concerned with the setting up of the earthshaking domino set in the first place, not with taking a chainsaw to the hand that goes to knock everything over.
Funny I actually viewed the 2020 BTC drawdown (and subsequent rapid recovery) as my number one buy signal for the current crypto bull market. In a time period when the Dow loses almost 13% in a single day and the fed has to use every move in the playbook to maintain liquidity, crypto holds its own with no fed assistance at all.

As for inflation, I’m guessing the exact opposite argument to yours was being made in the 80s.
So what? Don't work for a large company if they're not willing to pay your salary.
This is it. Free market at work. If you live in Tulsa, OK you won't have easy access to as many $150k jobs. The goal of the company is to get the best quality of work for the lowest price. Why would they pay extra?
but how many of these folks are compiling bevy on these tier 2 platforms?
I agree. Music theory is a bit like calling English Grammar book “language theory”. Not really a theory, and far from broad enough to cover all music.
It's a new asset class so it's in a huge growth phase. Over time it's volatility is beginning less and less and will continue to do so as the market matures.
I can't edit this now, but I just realised it's 1e7, not 1e6 in 1s.
Why? The "bootstrap" stuff utilises modern, standards based semantic markup. The linked site is poor both aesthetically and technically.
I take this as a hint of the author going underground for the next 6+ months, then reappearing and announcing ST4. </snark>
And why would anybody spend an hour reading? Ugh.
I worked in an expert systems company in the 80s (one mentioned in the Phillips thesis referenced in the danweinreb article). Take all this with a dose of IIRC.

As part of out work, we evaluated and benchmarked Xerox Interlisp machines, Symbolics systems, VAXen, later Gold Hill etc. to find a cost-effective delivery platform. We even eventually funded the development of a delivery-focused subset of Common Lisp.

One aspect that Symbolics didn't seem to understand back then was cost of entry and deployment: the Xerox D-machines were (IIRC) around 1/3 the cost of the Symbolics. Perhaps not as speedy, but adequate for our day-to-day development work as well as for the end customer's needs.

Symbolics had great development systems, but the delivery answers were late in coming; too late to help us.

There's lots more to be said about the late 80s collapse of AI (ES) applications and expectations, but the margins here are too small to contain it....
Don't use vi, use vim.
Just out of interest, why does the holding company need to be YC backed?

Almost about to jump into hyperspace!
I really see no excuse why people don't carry a cell phone with them in their car. It doesn't even need to be activated, all cell phones call 911 for free. I don't stop and help people because 99% of the time I see them on their cell phones.
Hi, I am the founder and it is definitely not just my pet project. My team and I are working very hard and fast to bring people on as quickly as possible and provide more public details. Follow us on twitter (@phpfog) for the latest.
See, that's what I have an issue with. Just because we can't record something or didn't record something doesn't mean it doesn't/didn't exist. We just haven't found a way to measure it. So something happens some time ago called the big bang, changing the layout of the universe. This doesn't mean time or stuff didn't exist before that. It simply means things changed.

No, that's what I'm saying. You don't understand this concept of spacetime, because it is not intuitive, and so you do not "get" the reality that the physics (which has ample amounts of supporting evidence and is not in doubt) predicts.

Time can easily be manipulated, and it is manipulated all the time. Travel at the speed of light, and time ceases to pass for you. Travel really close to the speed of light and time will pass much more slowly for you. See the twin's paradox (which is only a paradox because it contradicts our intuition) for an easily understandable example of why. This effect (time dilation) is proven by mountains of evidence in the form of decay rates of particles, which change depending on their speed. It is not up for argument. Any subsequent theory must explain this observed effect.

So, back to the initial question, your intuitive understanding of "time" is what is faulty. We have this perception of "time passing", but as far as we know that may just be an illusion in our heads. The only physical principle that has a clear direction in time is the increase of entropy. Time clearly exists, but the constant, measured passing of time is something that our brains made up to make sense of the world. There is no more necessity for time to exist than there is for for a balloon to exist. Time can be stretched, squeezed, and otherwise messed with. And it can even cease to exist.

Yes, this is hard to wrap your head around. Welcome to physics.
Follow-up question: I assume this also means that it would result in new hashes for the same passwords?

I'd prefer to write an application which made me wealthy, than an application which made me famous. Wealth is a useful thing to have, fame is more of an annoyance surely...?
The site is just way too "IN YOUR FACE" for my liking.

Because it's so "IN YOUR FACE" and "made for nerds" I almost get a feeling that the whole thing is a huge insult to every serious hacker out there.

...Especially the flow chart seems so fucking insulting to me. Yaddayaddayaa, yes, every geek likes starwars & light sabers, yes we've read the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, yes, we've seen the back to the future trilogy etc.

In my opinion, funding entrepreneurship shouldn't be about making jokes on stereotypes. We're talking about peoples livelihoods here - not about star wars kids.

I like the idea but not the execution.

...And the art is in the execution.
I love how fast Safari 5 is (faster than Chrome for me) - but the UI of Chrome just makes browsing and navigation much, much better (auto hiding everything you don't need, combining URL and search bar etc). Apple should have learned from Chrome, it's superior.
> Always been available on the iPhone, you can do whatever you want while taking a call. With iOS 4, users will be able to do even more.

"Taking a call" is an example, an placeholder for X. You can say "use free turn-by-turn navigation all while chatting through Talk" or "use free turn-by-turn navigation all while tracking my progress using My Tracks" or "use free turn-by-turn navigation all while staring at Google Sky". The X is anything, not just specific vendor supplied apps (or in OS4, vendor approved activities).
Taxing activities in proportion to their chance of future burden on society makes sense to me (i.e. healthcare costs), as I believe individuals ultimately choose their lifestyle.

If it were up to me, taxes like this would be based on the same modelling that insurance policies are. People would choose what they lived like and the price would reflect the risk they are undertaking.
> I'm happy to report my iphone is entirely free from carriers control.

Then you are mistaken. All settings under "carrier profile" (for example, enable tethering is there) cannot be set by you, the owner. They can be only imported using settings file signed by the carrier.

> Erm... yeah? It's a google soft...

If you were paying attention, exclusive features for own products is Apple tactics, not Googles. Actually, there were people asking why Google bothers with Maps and Voice for iPhone (i.e. why it is helping iPhone at expense of Android). If you know the answer why, you already know why Google doesn't play platform favorites.
The default search engine is still Google – it’s just that you now can also switch search engines and also pick Yahoo as well as Bing (that’s the order in which they appear in the list).

They just heavily advertise this new option with a huge image [1], ordinarily a feature like that would get a line or two of text or maybe not even be mentioned. I guess that’s supposed to send a message to Google, something like “We have a good relationship with your competitor so you better not fuck with us!” (i.e. stop us from using Maps or something like that).

No, DPI and PPI are literally the same thing. (Photoshop used to call what is now PPI "DPI"). "PPI" comes from people wanting a way to talk about the dpi of a digital image without including all the baggage and confusion of dpi, which too few people understand.

There's no technical difference, however.
It shouldn't be very to hard to generate a list of running apps that link against the updated libs and ask the user for permission to restart them... Or let the user ignore it at own peril.
Any suggestions? I'm also looking for some resources on those topics.
For at least some locales, you need to sign up with an email address and choose a valid password before Netflix will show they package options and prices.

I’m not sure if that’s a deceptive design or just a downright sleazy one.
Yeah so the shrinks, like Ximena Rojas Núñez, who verbally apologized for malpractice when caught (I just can't protect the guilty if it's easier to name them than not, some are actually worth some respect, not her, she was just embarrassingly stupid), so her, from the very beginning was informing about me looking for a second opinion, like fucking Daniel Cussen twitter. Had to show a different, superior doctor like ten pages of confessions for him to consider I was in the right.

And that's why I talk about this all publicly, I care a lot about my privacy and THEREFORE I share this, so that it isn't known exclusively by the people I hate the most, by traitors of patients. Privacy isn't nobody knowing your secrets, well obviously it is but at this point that's a fantasy. Says right on the box cryptography is about forcing the government [or anybody else] to torture you. Beyond that point? Cryptography is useless. In fact I used 1Password diligently before, during and after getting tortured, back in 2009. Really liked the app, good placebo. Didn't add up to shit, and it's not their fault. I voided the warranty.

So you divulge. If the worst people know your secrets, share your secrets. That actually increases your privacy. And it's the perviest thing, they think slandering me will ensure my silence, well it did for a long time, but come on. What is the solution? Literal Daniel Cussen twitter.

The death of freedom of speech is ushered in with thunderous applause.
> Should implies an obligation.

That is a weird phasing. By "should" I mean that it is a good thing to call out bad things that happen, such as in this case with these apps, and I am happy when the US retaliates against bad things, such as what is happening in this example. The reason being, that these apps are doing bad things that should be stopped. You have not contradicted this point.

> established they're bad

In this specific case though, regarding these app and the actions that they are taking, they are bad though!

> You live in a democracy, this is your will.

Ok. And bad things being punished in this specific example. Thats good. And misdirection to talk about something different does not overrule the fact that it is good in this specific example that these specific bad things are being punished/retaliated against.

> gives it a morally acceptable varnish.

Specifically in this example, it is morally accepted to punish these specific bad things that these apps are doing though. So there are no problem with retaliating against these apps and actions, because in this example they are indeed bad and should be retaliated against.
Thank you. On the one hand, I'd like to think the world is still mostly full of reasonable people.

On the other hand, I'm also (lamentably) aware of how few griefers it takes to turn a great multiplayer environment into something nearly worthless for that large majority of reasonable people.
> Try to ram this through your thick skull

What the heck
> The killer app is decentralized, permissionless, open source, and censorship resistant network.

That's not an app. That's meaningless advertising lingo.
> The only data we were able to get at the time was mostly white patients. We talked to many hospitals but many were/are reluctant to share anonymized data for research

I joked to someone from a small country with public healthcare that the best thing they could do was release as much anonymized high quality data and essentially get every machine learning algorithm tuned for their population for free.

It's like adding your code to a popular CPU benchmark.
Say what you will about the motivations and justification, but it's got to take some courage to make a policy decision that wipes 1.5 Billion off your market cap in an hour:

This comment is entirely divorced from reality.
Ha, I'm currently holidaying in the Gold Coast, and I was quite literally asking myself the other day how/if I could bring my work to a nice apartment overlooking the sea. Would be nice.
Okay... no.

This is the problem. The 4th dimension is not time. We can represent time as the 4th dimension in a system if we want to, but you can have systems where the 4th dimension is not time.

A good example is when people create a matrix representing links in webpages. If you limit your universe to online 100 webpages and their interconnections, you can get a vector for each webpage. The vector is a point in 100 dimension space. The 4th dimension is not "time" but "if the 4th website on the list links to me."

I think the original commenter was envisioning a bus/train/van-pool/subway/ferry commute rather than a car/bicycle/walking commute. My last job involved a long subway trip and I found that a Kindle really helped. The trains were too crowded to make reading on, let alone working on a laptop feasible.
1) a collection of autohotkey scripts (key remapping, fast toggling for show/hide hidden files, toggle selected text from upper/lowercase and a heap more)

2) sms reminders on google calendar (free!)

3) learning as many kb shortcuts to your software as you can

4) automatic filters and a well thought out label system in gmail

5) sumatra pdf viewer, or any really quick pdf program

6) electric blanket on a timer, makes going to bed when I should seem so much more appealing

7) sysinternals process explorer instead of the usual taksmanager

8) a large good quality whiteboard hung somewhere you cannot ignore it (I have 3 main sections: Do, Dates & Buy)

9) write well thought out shopping lists before you leave for the store
I wouldn't say hard, but it can take me a few minutes to get back to full touch typing. Before switching to Dvorak Type 2 (plus <Alt Gr> + homerow mapped to <[({})]> for programming) I did already have to switch between QWERTZ (German) and QWERTY (UK, sometimes US) on occasion, which may have prepared me for it. Though the differences between QWERTZ and QWERTY are pretty minimal compared to Dvorak.
The first background image I got was absolutely awful. It greatly obscured the actual content of the page, and didn't look very good either. I tried the "Change background image" link, but couldn't actually change it without logging into a Google account. In fact, it was so awful that I left and did my search with Bing.

Trying the homepage again just now I got an image that had a little more contrast with the page content, and looked a little better, but still is not very attractive overall. Most of the sample pictures they list don't look very appealing either.

This is one of the biggest failures I've seen from Google. Marissa, if you're listening, please give us our white background back. I will not be executing any more Google searches with these backgrounds, and choosing my own background on an iGoogle homepage is not an acceptable solution.

In all the time since my first Google search in the late 90s, this is the ONLY thing that has given me sufficient motivation to switch my default search engine away from Google.
But the braggart said that he almost didn't use the phone...

I have a Nokia E72 and recharge every ~4 days with heavy 2.5G internet use, ~20 minutes of talk time per day, use as a PDA, etc. Almost no wi-fi, no videos, no music.
Does anyone else find it amusing that Bing's approached Colbert, whereas Google seems to support Stewart pretty hard?
I believe the original ReadWriteWeb version of this was already posted.

Also, H.264 is only royalty free for those distributing video on the web either for free or for clips under 12 minutes. Royalties on encoders, decoders (e.g. browsers) and a whole bunch of other stuff, is already in effect.
It's true that average Clojure code looks cleaner than average CL code. Still I'm looking for something more cleaner, still being a Lisp. Time for Arc maybe :]
Missing satellites is about lack of dwarf galaxies, not human made electronics :P ;)
You're right, of course. However, first, I think you'd be hard pressed to find someone who prefers depression to sexual dysfunction, weight gain, or nausea. Second, you can just try different medications until you find one that has none of the above problems.

To be honest, I find the discussion of side-effects in anti-depressants really strange. Depression is an extremely dangerous, life-threatening, life-ruining condition. The side effects, when they are present, are typically trivial. However, I have met many people who have not begun a course of medication because they were worried about them.
Uhh... I think it's http. Or maybe it's just any data that a web-browser can handle. Definitely a few OSI layers above the internet.

If you enable voice control in accessibility you can reboot the device using a voice command “reboot this device”.

After which you will need your passcode/word to unlock the device. Handy if you foresee a time you won’t be able to reach your device and tap the unlock button 5 times.
