I don't know about Apple, but I know lots of companies that will avoid using the registered logos of others whenever possible, as it opens up the possibility for being bound by another legal string. By avoiding the issue entirely -- not even using the registered logo -- this completely avoids the question of fair-use vs. being sued and/or paying fees.

Now, what they will do is explicitly write the company that has the registered logo -- requesting written approval for a particular context/usage. If they get that, then they will use the registered logo. But as the default case, "avoid as much as possible" is standard policy. Some are more afraid of legal matters than others. Whether this fear is justified is not as immediately relevant in this particular context, as is the existence of the fear itself and the consequences thus.

"Poking fun" would be something along the lines of using the blue-screen-of-death screen as seen with previous networked computer icons in OS X. Whereas, in this instance, the visual representation is a very simple, generic "window" that is still distinctly different from any previously registered Microsoft Windows logos. To me, this instance appears to just be simply avoiding unnecessary use of a registered logo.

I could also get into it further, elaborating why textual registered trademarks may be considered easier to use for fair-use (used for informational purposes) versus registered graphical elements (i.e., logos), but I have no such desire.

This article is merely clickbait.

You probably can find the research studies behind your hypothesis covered at nutritionfacts.org.
Needs citation: what is this "widespread creative drain among the hacker community" that Unix has somehow induced? (Also, what are the levels of "path dependence" that you're referring to?) To me, the advances in operating systems in the last fifteen years have been deeper than the programmatic abstractions -- ZFS, jails/zones/containers, DTrace, MDB, etc. Unix has inspired these advances, not confined them.

Finally, in terms of Spring: I think it's more accurate to describe you as romanticizing it than me as reviling it. As I have outlined for you before[1], I merely ran the beast -- and it was horrific, even when used as intended. It's certainly not lost: I have a copy in my basement, if no other copy exists, and I would gladly make it available to you if only to force you to see it as it was and not as you wish it to have been.

Wikipedia disagrees with that:
"The term "brutalism" was originally coined by the Swedish architect Hans Asplund to describe Villa Göth in Uppsala, designed in 1949 by his contemporaries Bengt Edman and Lennart Holm.[citation needed] He originally used the Swedish-language term nybrutalism (new brutalism), which was picked up by a group of visiting English architects, including Michael Ventris. In England, the term was further adopted by architects Alison and Peter Smithson.[3][4] The term gained wide currency when the British architectural historian Reyner Banham used it in the title of his 1966 book, The New Brutalism: Ethic or Aesthetic?, to characterise a somewhat recently established cluster of architectural approaches, particularly in Europe.[4]"

The post definitely does read like a sales copy. Way to go!
Thanks for your feedback, a couple points:

Once you select a city you'll get results with venues for that city. On the left hand side you'll notice additional filters such as "Event type, Venue type, Venue Capacity, Price, Amenities". You can play with these filters to further curate the results to your liking.

We're more than a directory, if you actually create an account you'll notice that you can select "Add To My Queue" on several venues and send them all a bulk message at once with your budget, event details etc... This message will be delivered directly to the venue representatives of those venues - you can expect responses shortly thereafter. I've on-boarded 50+ venues so they will be receiving your message directly.

To your last point, yes this is the goal so we're in search of our market segments/users.
You are welcome anytime. I found you guys with the Chuck Peddle interview. Awesome.
Thanks, that was a thought-provoking essay on its own merits. The book itself is worth reading for the relentless pace of socio-techno-cultural change, best experienced as a dramatic deluge rather than exceprts.
What on earth is weird about not wanting to have government founds go to groups you don't like?

"We are all dust in the wind"

"We are just dancing on this world for a short time."

A million years from now, no one will know or care what you did with your life. If you do nothing, it matters only to you that you did nothing.

Go for a walk in the park. Go to a movie. Go talk to people outside of your little personal bubble, people whose lives are different from yours. Go try to catch the deluge in a paper cup, drink deeply of it and see what comes of it.

People have all kinds of needs, include things that look "stupid" to you. Many things that seem trivial to an outsider are not trivial to the person engaging in them.

I have a serious medical condition. Playing games is one of the ways I distract myself from pain and keep myself from losing my mind when I feel like hell. Game developers are as important to my quality of life as are medical breakthroughs. Entertainment is hardly a trivial need for me.

There are lots of people in pain, whether physical or emotional. So I am far from the only one who needs distraction or a way to pass the time constructively.

You seem to be getting all bent out of shape over the idea of doing something "important." Just do something. The time passes anyway, whether you did something or nothing with it.

Best of luck.
Why not just set up an e-mail filter?
> I'd rather see self-driving buses and trains that run on clean renewable energy than self-driving cars.

That's certainly where this is going, but the problem with mass transit is bootstrapping.

Currently, I take one of the Amtrak trains regularly, not terribly fast, but I'm not driving. However, I still need a car at either end of the train for the short hop to house/office.

If I could summon a self-driving car, I would take the train more often. In addition, if I could summon a self-driving car, I wouldn't worry about keeping a strict schedule at the office (very few places have trains/subways that run with enough frequency that you don't have to pay attention to schedule).
For one, it takes more time to digest calories in food, than it does to digest them from sugary water.
Maybe that's a net figure. Certainly I trust TfL wouldn't be doing it if it wasn't worthwhile - they're generally very well-managed.
Scouring the Web to Make New Words ‘Lookupable’
This work sounds like, in 5 years, after they're finished understanding the last 30 years of parser research, they'll discover the subsequent explosion of type system and model checking research, and move on to that for whitelisting.

Extra oddity: language-based security is an entire field.

Edit: I'm happy that they're advocating the application of these techniques, and especially helping implementors pin-point where it's needed, I'm just confused at their selection of techniques.

Switzerland begins postal delivery by drone
Is there any good reason not to use an ordinary pipe there? In zsh,
strace blah |& read sid
This sounds like a conspiracy theory to me. A much more plausible reason why this is being targeted at individual vehicle taxi-like behavior is that it's a lot more cost effective to use human drivers for public transportation because the ratio of passengers to drivers is much higher. I doubt it would be worth the cost of the research to do away with all the bus drivers in the country; the expensive part is maintenance.
Great piece -- well argued and timely. I certainly realize from reading it that I was insufficiently skeptical about the whole anti-trafficking thing.

It's not that actual sex slavery is not abhorrent -- of course it is. And it does exist. But as Ms. Brown explains, hard evidence that it is a large and growing problem is extremely hard to come by. And the efforts nominally being made to combat it are mostly actually going toward criminalizing ordinary prostitution. The vice squad has figured out how to turn on the money tap by pushing the emotional button labelled "slavery".

Indeed, I just the other day read an online appeal by a young woman arrested for being a teenage prostitute. The fact that that could happen -- and it's not a unique occurrence, as Ms. Brown mentions -- shows that the anti-trafficking story is a lie, because the rhetoric of the movement is that an underage prostitute is always a victim, never a criminal. Well, if you really think someone is a victim, the last thing you do is arrest them!
Finance is hard. But not that hard.
Products like this come and go. I don't know what the value of Evernote is. I've never been a power user. I prefer using Kippt ( sadly, also shut down ) + OS X Notes + Chrome's bookmarks + Google docs + Dropbox.

Doesn't feel like a company doing something so specialised can expect a real growth out of a product that isn't remarkably well done.
Well, I just disabled JavaScript with ScriptSafe recently due to security and privacy concerns.

And there are many blank pages I get to see, because of this kind of Architecture and CDN's. Nowadays even blogs with mostly static content don't work. That's realy annoying.

If you depend on search engines, remember you get penalties for this kind of sites. You need to have some kind of prerendering to satisfy you ChiefSearchEngineOptimizer.

How do you support Bookmarking in a Single Page Application? I think this is an essential feature and not trivial to implement correct.

I tried Angular. It works. It looks nice and smooth, but I don't think it is a good solution. JS is nice as an enhancement, but I don't like it as a dependency to use the web.

===Addit
Not so long ago we have had similar approaches to JS-SPA.
They were called Java Applets and Flash. These Technologies are dead. Everything you do today with JS was 10 years ago possible with these technologies.
The only constant in the web that's gonna stay is HTML.

JS is overused. There are so many things you're better off without JS, like Blogs, Hackernews or simply valueable content. There might be usecases for SPA, but a high percentage are better off without these cool and fency stuff.

Eliminating Serverside Rendering for scalability reasons as a first step is often followed by implementing prerendered content in script-Tags or via react on node.
The only thing that gets scaled is complexity.
There needn't be a conspiracy. An evolved motte-and-bailey strategy is bad enough as it is.
> abortion too won't be fought over as soon as more conservative voters pass on

Opinions on abortion haven't changed nearly as much as gay marriage or marijuana have, and in fact have remained fairly static over the past 40 years:

http://www.gallup.com/poll/1576/Abortion.aspx

Scientifically, we really don't know when a fetus becomes a person - although we all probably agree that it does happen sometime between conception and birth - and since this question will likely never be conclusively answered, there will probably always be a fair number of people opposed to unfettered abortion.
Lots of things work fine, and then you go to some new startups page which loads JavaScript from 35 different CDNs and refuses to do anything until they are all whitelisted.
It might be possible with the new Rockchip ARM Chromebooks (more specifically Asus). It's been discussed in the Libreboot mailing list lately.

Nothing about this 'architecture' is new in any way.
It's not an implicit goal, it's tautologic. Organisms that don't have the drive or ability to survive and reproduce die as evolutionary dead ends.

AIs will exist in resource-limited, competitive environement as well, and the same process will apply too. Initially, systems that are symbiotic with (some) humans will probably have an edge, but there are no guaranties that it will be the case in the long run.
How about real fruit juice? Much healthier.

Giorgio Moroder (mentioned in the article) reflects on the synthesizer's rise in the song Giorgio by Moroder, from the latest Daft Punk album (Random Access Memories):

> I wanted to do an album with the sound of the '50s, the sound of the '60s, of the '70s and then have a sound of the future. And I said, "Wait a second...I know the synthesizer – why don't I use the synthesizer which is the sound of the future?" And I didn't have any idea what to do, but I knew I needed a click so we put a click on the 24 track which then was synched to the Moog Modular. I knew that it could be a sound of the future but I didn't realise how much the impact would be

Everything except sovereignty, and some of them are pretty good at working around that.

I'm actually sort of surprised that a company hasn't just "bought out" one or more of the smaller countries -- paying off the citizens to renounce their citizenship, say. It would be easier if you bought two, so as to avoid creating a bunch of stateless people -- pay Country A to grant citizenship to everyone in Country B, and pay the citizens of Country B to renounce their Country B citizenship. You now have Country B to run as you please.
I just started playing with the HackRF (https://greatscottgadgets.com/hackrf/). The inventor has a bunch of great video tutorials to walk you through all the tools and how they work, starting with analog and then focusing on digital. You can use OSX, Linux, etc. with the tutorials.

Your brain literally re-wires itself constantly.

There's no such thing as "temporary schizophrenia." If you're referring to acute psychosis, as you seemingly experienced, then yes it's certainly a possible side effect--though never a permanent one.

Bad experiences are usually triggered by an uncomfortable setting, or a dose for which you were not prepared. I'm sorry that was your experience, but concerned your reaction doesn't add to the scientific discussion.

LSD increases glutamate and modulates the 5HTA (seratonin) subtypes, as well as having modulatory effects on D2 (dopamine) receptors--it alters conscious processes and lowers the inhibitory threshold of the action potential, allowing "new" neuronal pathways to develop. While we don't know the specific pharmacokinetic MOA, we do know it has a favorable toxicological and therapeutic profile, and that the content of one's hallucinations depend far more on the individual and the setting than the substance.

Yes, it can be dangerous. Yes, you can take steps to effectively minimize the danger like you do in every other area of your life (seatbelts? helmets?). Like anything there's a cost-benefit ratio for each individual to consider--are you willing to risk a potentially terrifying experience for a chance at novel insight?

I think that's a choice everyone should be able to make for themselves.

The company I work at uses the pipe character('|') everywhere. It's fairly painless, and you can edit the files using standard text editors. It's also pretty easy for clients to provide or consume pipes. CSVs are terrible - people always have trouble providing or ingesting them with the correct quoting: probably 50% of the time it's suggested there is strong resistance to the idea of using CSV quoting. TSVs are okay - you can copy-paste from Excel into your terminal so it's got that going for it.

There's been one time where a client provided a couple hundred gigabytes of data where all the reasonable characters one might use were used in the fields themselves, including their own separator character(the comma). So I made up some rules for guessing which commas were delimiters and which were part of a field value, and stored it using the ASCII control character as a delimiter. The only other use of this character at my company are in jokes, like "We should ask the client to provide or ingest files separated using the ASCII control codes" which always gets a laugh.
New personality test (current p/m fit [sales])
It's interesting to me that EN is apparently in deep trouble partially because of buggy feature releases. Three days ago I wrote this comment in response to the last article about EN:

I wonder if they're experiencing feature creep because they've satisfied users of the core features. I use a program called Devonthink Pro according to this method: http://www.stevenberlinjohnson.com/movabletype/archives/0002... and in some respects my use hasn't changed that much. I use syncing features and some other pieces, and maybe the engine has gotten a little better over time, but mostly I do what I did with it 10 years ago.

I wrote a little more about DTP here: http://jakeseliger.com/2010/11/12/scrivener-or-devonthink-pr... , though I understand that some people use Evernote differently than DTP.

Mostly it seems to me that DTP is very close to "feature complete," for lack of a better term.
That's the finest compliment I could've got. Thank you! :)

It's crazy how easy it is to eat a healthier diet by simply avoiding the cereal/chips/soda isles. Sugar (especially corn syrup), and processed carbs literally make up these two massive aisle's in every store. Combine that with a moderate amount of activity throughout the week and you'll be in pretty decent shape.

Case in point: I live in a walking city (NYC), avoid the junk described above, yet I eat/drink out often and at 31 years old I'm in above average shape without any serious exercise (other than walking up lots of stairs, and around the city, daily). Of course I could do more, but the point is cutting out some simple items from your diet can go a very long way.
> For many years the Russian Ruble was pegged against a basket of 55% USD and 45% EUR

Minor point: Pegging is not equivalent to being backed by 55% EUR + 45% USD, and nothing else. The RUB had risks associated with it independent of those other currencies, whereas a true basket currency would not (or at least not to the same extent).

From this article, I have some of my software business beliefs validated:

- don't be afraid to charge money

- release frequent, small updates. Users tolerate this much better than infrequent big updates with major changes

- focus on quality. Every update should include several bug fixes. As much as possible, fix bugs before adding new features

- focus. Put all your eggs in one basket, to some extent.

- watch costs like a hawk. Operating in 10 locations sounds like Evernote let their costs get out of control.
Coffee based beverages don't explain childhood and teen obesity. Those two categories don't drink nearly as much coffee as adults.

Besides that, some categories of obesity have plunged:

"U.S. Childhood Obesity Rates Fall 40% in Decade"

http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB100014240527023048347045794053...

Adult obesity rates have leveled off for the last several years. I don't believe it's a coincidence things are moving in a better direction at exactly the same time Americans started drinking less soda (such that both Coke and Pepsi have been seeing declining sales in the US market for the last few years). What Americans aren't doing less of, is consuming fewer coffee products - they're drinking vastly more than they were ten years ago. If that were fueling obesity we'd be seeing a continued increase in obesity among adults.

Further, the obesity rates skyrocketed starting from the early 1980s. They trace almost perfectly inline with soda, fast food, and high fructose corn syrup. They don't follow any line with the vast array of coffee products, which only took off in the mid to late 1990s.

What idiot downvoted this? This is the solution for companies using single page sites. You render the page server side using some headless browser and serve that on the first load (or always for search engine spiders, or people with JavaScript disabled.) That way you don't suffer the latency penalty on the first load and subsequent loads work as usual with a single page app. I'm pretty sure I read that twitter does this, but it might be some other big player.
I think the trope of asian culture promoting "shyness" and respect for authority has some bearing on this, but not in the way the article mentioned.

While many asians may have these characteristics, it's not that it makes them unfit to lead it is more about the promoting managers looking for the wrong signals. We see similar trends with introverts and women, no? They don't fit the extroverted, authoritative, direct management style that is deemed "successful", but is often not optimal.
