No?

People really don't pay attention to TLDs when building websites, aside from ones that have domains actually available for nonextortive prices. That's why .io become a thing.
AFAIK, the "Channels" on the Apple TV gen 2 and 3 are already JavaScript and XML-based (a while ago, people discovered that they could spoof the XML and JS on the Trailers channel to play arbitrary videos). So it's somewhat natural that the new Apple TV continues with Javascript.
And open themselves up to be judged as a serious game player? I don't think they want that, as someone who views the gaming community with a great deal of disgust. Whiny, entitled children who are extremely critical.

Apple has an amazing casual market and it makes more sense to capitalize on that.
Perhaps I don't subscribe to your narrow definition of humanity. I found bland nutrient goo perfect for my needs. It meant no shopping, no dealing with perishables, and other logistical and organizational benefits.

Have you considered the possibility that perhaps not everyone thinks like you?
It's about time somebody did...
Yep, you can find cheaper products with more ports. Go buy one and be happy. This one is the mindshare, design and profit leader, which is why we're talking about it.
Yeah, but fortunately delivery also matters...
I would like to short APPL long term, say for 4-5 years. Is there a (simple) mechanism to short a stock long term, that is immune to local price fluctuations?
Are you implying that the ancients never had access to weapons capable of killing thousands/millions of people when unleashed?

What about chemical/biological weapons? I faintly recall some stories of the Bible where rats were used as weapons (not a plague from the Lord, but actual humans collecting lots of rats and releasing them near the enemy city), and the ancient Jews were not particularly advanced compared with other civilizations of the time.

> It doesn't have to be built into the language; it could be a macro based on COND or even on WHEN/UNLESS. But…

In Common Lisp IF is built in and COND is a macro. One of the conditionals needs to be built-in.

http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Body/s_if.h...

> One has to have some special forms in order to build everything else as macros.

For conditionals, one conditional needs to be there, into which the other macro-based conditionals can be expanded.

> And in practice, of course, there can be some big efficiency gains to having lots of special forms vice having only a few and lots of macrology.

Not really. Common Lisp has a minimum of special forms and usually has some of the faster Lisp implementations.
True. And yet, it still means there is some pushing of demand into the future due to the deflating prices. Which means that your argument in the GGP post is false. The fact that, despite the pushing of some demand into the future, Apple makes tons of revenue does not change the fact that demand is still being pushed into the future. That is, your reply, while true, is irrelevant.
Yeah I can't wait for this guy to go buy his macbook air and start doing all his fancy graphic design on its non-touch non-retina screen.

Obviously the same use cases for both products!

The Hardest Program I've Ever Written
Very interesting - thank you for sharing.

Summary for others:

Protein misfolding and aggregation inside the cell was known to contribute to Alzheimers. This article points to the possibility of misfolded and aggregated proteins of Alzheimer patients triggering (or seeding) misfolding and aggregation of otherwise 'healthy' proteins in non-alzheimer patients. Much like the mad cow disease.
They dominate the profits -- and the people that actuall do anything "smart" (most web use in the US for example, is from iOS devices, despite Android devices being far more percentage-wise).

Androids huge sales are mostly low end of the market -- people who don't care about smartphones or computers, and just get whats cheaper with a 2 year contract.
Maybe, but what surprises me every time I browse the App Store is the amount of expensive apps I encounter. There are many textbooks that have made the jump to iPad while keeping prices that are far above $10.

For an example, see http://www.pcronline.com/eurointervention/textbook/pcr-textb...:

"Get the iPad application for only $149.99"

Maybe that is just a web site in an app with limited interactivity, but there definitely seems to be competition in that market. The disadvantage of free updates in such markets may be more than balanced by the advantage of very limited ability to resell apps (the easiest way I know to resell apps is to create separate iTunes accounts for each app, and let te buyer set a new password for that account. That becomes impractical soon, of you have tens of apps)

That 3D knee visualization, to me, seems a clear indication of that.

Are you also rocking that brown Zune?
Their main point was that pre-computers, cognition was theorized to be tied to physical stimulus. When humans learned how to code computers, "AI" was theorized as existing in "black boxes" of pure abstract symbol manipulation.

The paper discusses how this doesn't make sense, and how cognition must be tied to biological sensing to be "smart".
That sounds really horrible, but as a lisp enthusiast that worked on a substantial live system in PHP for a couple for years, I do believe it's possible to write a fair amount of PHP in a functional style. Making use of array reduce, map and filter for example.
I think you're right. Control is definitely why I switched to Android. Switching back to iOS soon and that's one thing that has me worried.

Are you doing this to get maximally rich? Or because you want to make something useful? If the latter, there are ways to make enough money to have a sustainable business.

Monetization gets easier when you're big. If you have most of the schools in a state, you can find something they'll pay for.

Both YC and Imagine K-12 have a lot of experience helping startups with a popular product monetize it. But solve the hard problem first.
Sure, I can be more specific.

First I was suggesting that the money printing machine you allude to will sooner or later get too big to support its weight, at which point you'll be left with a bunch of dimes (or rather, companies that need to raise more to live but can't).

I also suggested that the popular narrative of "raise a huge round because money is cheap" is misleading and founders in these large rounds are actually giving up large amounts of control. That's more a general, purely anecdotal observation.

My point re: buying revenue but not profits... I think I'm more saying "More money will not make your business more profitable. But it can help book sales." If your metrics all work and you really are a profitable business already, that may be be made more scalable by more money. But if you're unprofitable, even accounting for "growth mode", more money isn't going to improve that by itself. My personal opinion is that many companies are showing impressive revenue growth but glossing over core profitability, and these companies will have a tough time fixing that.
I think ripping your own DVD is still illegal in the US under DMCA and WIPO Copyright Treaty countries. DMCA says you can't remove copyright-enforcing measures on your owned media. It's crazy dumb.

Someone correct me if this is no longer true, or if I misunderstood it from the DeCSS days.
I once spent several weeks living out of a hotel room without benefit of a fridge. So, sometimes it isn't as trivial as it sounds.
Actually, all operators can be macros. Why? Because macros can use some, ahem, special API to generate machine code objects directly. Thus anything that looks like it ought to be a special form can be registered as an actual macro, called by the macro-expander. Instead of producing a tree structure, it produces some code object. The compilation pass knows what to do with that object and so it goes. (We can think of that object as a special form, effectively, but it isn't really a form at all.)

(Also note that Lisp macros don't have to be all written in Lisp. They are just expander functions. When you're bootstrapping a Lisp, you can write macros in the bootstrapping language. So the chicken-and-egg problem of "how do you write the first macros if there are no special forms" doesn't exist. You write the raw functions in assembly, or C or whatever, and register them as macro-expanders.)
I'm glad that at least you find the graphs obvious, as I have a bunch of questions.

What are security pros and cons of using or not using GCM?

And which browser uses which settings of these displayed by default? How can we interpret the percentages?

What are the percentages anyway? It's hard to see them from all these graphs. Actually, I don't care about the peak-hour times when I just need to know the percentages.

And in which time zone is the time scale at all?

Thanks in advance.
That's true for any teaching aid. Teaching is a hard, time-consuming process. The fact that some teachers have used Minecraft very successfully in their lessons proves it can be practical. It's up to the teacher to decide if they can use it practically in their lessons.

Software tools (in general, not just Minecraft) could become a lot more practical in the future if the community creates a CPAN/rubygems/npm style archive.
> But it doesn't prevent deadlocks.

Could you describe how you've developed the misconception that Rust does prevent deadlocks? Whatever it is, we should try to fix it right away, because Rust has never tried to prevent deadlocks, and suggesting that it does is not good.

> And because Rust doesn't provide higher level concurrency tools than threads and mutexes

Rust's standard library has channels.
'Was' = 'way'. Typo, sorry.

No the key part is what target audience and use-cases are they optimizing for with each device.

Do they want to create an experience that's so simple to use that they're enjoyed by both kids and non-technical grand parents, that's optimized for the most common everyday tasks, e.g browsing the web, shopping, reading news, books, taking photos, finding driving directions, writing emails, etc.

Or do they want to offer a full Desktop OS that's suitable for everyone including devs and power users lets them run server software, multiple windows, anti virus software, network filesystems, development IDE's that enables them to build iOS Apps, etc. For those users they offer OSX on macbooks and iMac's and choose not to complicate their UX on their most popular computing platform - that's quickly becoming most of their Customers primary computing platform.

It's Apple's felicitous focus on simplicity and Customer use-cases that's what's made them the most successful company in the world.

Dear 4bby: What to Do with My Technology
I could use some advice.

Over the years, I have developed security software that I believe is of tremendous value to both businesses and home users. I tried to make a go of it as a startup without taking on investors. That has been unsuccessful in large part due to the inexperience of the team (including myself) and lack of industry connections.

I have reached a point where I need to decide where to take the company and the tech. I believe the tech can do a tremendous amount of good and feel that it addresses consumer needs that are unlikely to be adequately addressed otherwise (venture-backed companies will not see massive revenue potential in securing home users and are unlikely to address the space as a result).

From a personal standpoint, a pretty appealing outcome would be to continue developing the software full-time, distribute it for free to consumers, and make enough off user donations (or even a philanthropic benefactor who wants to see the technology made available) to make a reasonable salary. That allows me to continue working diligently on my passion while also potentially doing a tremendous amount of good.

But I do feel a strong obligation to compensate those who were part of the team even if we weren't successful in our first attempt. And I don't think that the above solution is as likely to result in that sort of outcome.

So for me it's a dilemma. Going in the consumer direction has the potential to do good but potentially at the expense of generating the sort of revenue or exit I feel would satisfy those who joined the team. Trying to find a way to monetize it in the enterprise space could satisfy that compensation of team members but likely comes at the exclusion of offering a free consumer product long term. Both have the potential to fail even if I pursue them aggressively.

So I am wondering if anyone has any advice or observations I may want to consider as I try to figure out what to do. Thanks.
I don't think that is natural. To think they are related? Sure. They are: the 6S is an evolution of the 6.

But it's not like they released the 6, the 6a, and the 6b all the same year. It's quite clear.
Actually, that's not Maven. In Maven, each project has its own java directory. With Blaze (and I assume Bazel), Java libraries from entirely different projects all live in the same giant java and javatests subtrees. Behold the glory of the monolithic repository!
Apple strives with the nuances of its hardware. It's not necessarily how innovative and unique the product is, but the strength at which Apple secures the most unique hardware that sets them apart from the competition. Their touch sensors are different than everyone else's in supporting multi strength touches. They have good battery life with larger than HD displays. The device weights 1.5 lbs, which is much lighter than the surface. This is no trivial feat. The blanket statements on the device's general purpose and how it has been done before is a huge generalization and a refusal to grasp the power of Apple as a company. It hasn't been done before in the way Apple does it.
Man, you can tell when people are at home vs. at work...
The math:
(1) the linked article says there is 24e6 km3 of water in ice caps, glaciers, and permanent snow.
(2) Area of Oceans from Wikipedia is 360e6 km2.
(3) The statue of liberty is about 93m, (Base is 46m, Statue is 47m)

Division gives 0.066km of sea level rise if all of item #1 melts into the oceans, which is 66 meters. (In a more complex model, warmer atmosphere would adsorb some of it as increased absolute humidity.)

For the Statue of Liberty, that's enough to cover the entire base plus ~40% of the statue. The movie AI is wrong, but it's a lot closer to correct than the "10m" you quote.
The price of computers dropped because of returns to technology investment, not because of deflation.
People with money just sitting on cash (instead of investing) is a nightmare scenario - it's the shape of global economic meltdown. Capitalism requires that people with capital invest it. In theory, capital gets something worth more than what they spent, a business is created, it pays employees who pay other businesses who pay employees, etc. and you get a self-sustaining cycle of prosperity. Everybody is better off than they were before.

Inflation encourages investment - you need to invest in securities with a rate of return at least as good as inflation in order to not lose money. Incentives are aligned to make you do the thing that keeps the cycle going.

Deflation encourages hoarding - you would do better to keep the money under your mattress and wait for prices to fall before circulating it. Incentives are aligned to make you do the thing that destroys the economy.

Inflation in principle isn't horrible, but inflating prices while wages stagnate leaves everyone objectively worse off than they were before. This is already happening to an extent and causes a baseline level of unhappiness; if it were to get out of control things would be very ugly.

The task of a central bank is to use some very broad levers (interest rates, creating currency, etc) to try to keep the rate of inflation low but positive.
Rook's unified search is finally about 3 years old (fall 2012) and the interface is terrible.
Schools probably have at least some money, but it is hard to get at (probably easier if you have success-stories you can show at your first few schools). Schools potentially can make students pay, but that is understandably a sure way to get attacked and scrutinized.

General ad-based models probably don't go over very well in education, local "sponsorships" (which also are ads, but packaged differently) might work if there is enough visibility and it fits the product.

In all cases: expect a lot of politics.

It does look pretty awesome, but I can't find anybody selling Psions here in Buenos Aires, and it seems like they might lack something in the camera, GPS, 3-D modeling, and audio department.

A close friend has a 16gb iPhone 5 with no available storage. Where is all the storage used? Message history. I'm not kidding - zero non-default apps, very few photos, message history for presumably the entire time she has had an iOS device which consumes (according to iTunes) over 14gb.

The real kicker is Apple has provided no first-party way to extract images from message history.

(EDIT: I am aware of the "keep entire message history"/"keep 1 year message history" setting - we are trying to extract photos from backup using 3rd party software so we can flip that switch. This is very non-intuitive and requires the use of an external device)

Beyond the issue of whether Wacom wants to license it in the first place, even if they did, it's probably a high per unit cost (Wacom is a premium-pricing sort of company), and it's in the tablet, not the pen. What percentage of purchasers will even want the pen? I'm guessing it'll be pretty low.

I suppose it is related to how monitors use temporal dithering to fake 24 bit colors when they really have 18 bits per pixel, but why is it more apparent on this kind of picture?

Is it a perceptual issue or a technical one?

It is also apparent when using Windows XP under virtualization. Some windows have checkerboard patterns that flicker.
