I don't think releasing stable software is harder than rebuilding a 747 while it's flying. Especially for one of the most valuable companies in the world. If they can't deliver stable, high quality, easy to use software, while also meeting their goals, then they need to change their goals.

Google has more options than just the size of the box: for one thing they could make the box surround the ad (that is a common UX design to show related elements) and put the word "ad" around the entire border or the box, like police tape. That would make it a lot clearer that it was an ad.

Really? Unlike Twitter, I think Facebook actually emphasizes mutual friendships. (There's no one-way followers.)

I have around 1,500 friends on Facebook and that seems like a pretty high number. But I do know all of them, at least in passing, to the extent that I'd be willing to pass along a message for one of them.

Separation calculations aren't about extracting big favors, they're about finding minimal ties. One of the original experiments was literally just passing along a letter. [1]

> Also, "success hides failure". If you're a titanically successful corporation, any internal argument along the lines of "we shouldn't do X anymore, we should do Y instead" can be shot down with "well, look at how successful we were while we were doing X! X must not be so bad after all." It degrades an organization's ability to be reflective and self-critical.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but WebOS was open sourced after it started failing, and it was only parts of webos that were first "open sourced". I think the contexts are different, from day one b2g has been open source, and has had a contingent of supporters.

Plus, WebOS never actually got as far as FirefoxOS did on physical devices -- FFOS is powering phones for people all across the world right now. From what I remember WebOS got mostly relegated ot tablets.

I understand and share some of your frustration with their seemingly indecisiveness and willingess to drop certain projects to chase other ones. But can you blame them? They're trying to stay profitable.

So I think they'd have a little bit of an advantage becuase they've essentially ported the web model to run on embedded devices, and I think that could make it easier for manufacturers to integrate. Instead of learning to make some special kind of android app (+ ide support of course), manufacturers only have to worry about making webpages, and using some `window.mozFridge.changeTemperature` API, rather than something heavier.

My statement was more about trust than some implicit advantage in IoT (though I think the case could be made that they do have some advantages).
PSA for programmers: 2 tips to save your eyes (2012)
A lot of the excitement in a project comes from learning: "can I do it," "what will happen," etc.

After a certain point in your life, you grow convinced that you've seen it all before, and that has a way of draining you of excitement. Children are a common tipping point because they also make you less selfish. Nobody is asking you to make those projects, so it has to come from within, and if you act only for others, you never get around to it, because there's always another household crisis looming in the distance.

The only way to pull through is to turn it into a habit, instead of relying on your whims alone.

> The government plays a regulatory, distributive role in society

"We shall see the entire people transformed into petitioners. Landed property, agriculture, industry, commerce, shipping, industrial companies, all will bestir themselves to claim favors from the State... Everyone will have good reasons to prove that legal fraternity should be interpreted in this sense: "Let me have the benefits, and let others pay the costs." Everyone's effort will be directed toward snatching a scrap of fraternal privilege from the legislature. The suffering classes, although having the greatest claim, will not always have the greatest success."

Perhaps Bastiat was overoptimistic. The suffering classes will almost never have the greatest success; as over time the path to becoming wealthy becomes more and more dependent on the ability to extract benefits that the government doles out with increasingly byzantine rules and "arbitrary (i.e. cronyist)" process (think SBIRs).

Goldman Sachs is the least worthy company to have to "rethink capitalism" - it itself is such a cronyist organization that in many circles it's nicknamed "government sachs". If Goldman Sachs is only now saying, "there are broader questions to be asked about the efficacy of capitalism" - that's stunningly oblivious about its own actions. If anything Goldman Sachs should be asking itself about the efficacy of government in doing anything but redistributing wealth upwards.
Microsoft's OAuth stuff is ridiculously buggy. I've tried half a dozen times to get my Office 365 Microsoft account properly linked with my (identical email address) MSDN Microsoft account, and it's always wrong.

I don't agree with great hardware, if we're talking about durability and easily fixable. At least the Macbook line seems designed to fail after a number of years or be too expensive to continue fixing in favor of buying a new one. Apple products, besides the high end desktops, seem disposable, no matter how well made it looks.
I had whatever version was around when the video ipods came around (and a bodgy bit of hardware that was). I couldn't sort videos the way I wanted to - itunes says that that file extension means "tv episode" instead of "movie"? Sorry, it's a tv episode. Not to mention the terrible UI with tiny targets that doesn't blend in with the user's desktop theming. Maybe that was v4+, but all I remember is hating to use itunes (including managing updates as already mentioned)

I tend to enjoy these type of announcements and discussions regarding Google, because it seems to remind the general population that while yes, Alphabet is a diversified technology powerhouse, at its core, its most primal competency is that of an advertising firm. A very successful advertising firm. Sort of like how Jerry Jones was a very successful oil business tycoon before diversifying his interests by way of purchasing the Dallas Cowboys and 'business-ing' it up to a multi-billion dollar brand. No oil, no Cowboys for Jerry. No ads, no self-driving cars for Google.

Except you can't legally park and live in them in many cities. Sure you can relocate if you get caught, but how many times before they catch on and you get in big trouble? Its a more practical way to break the rules, but in most places you are still breaking the rules.
Yes they did. Default is a real thing and that's the risk you earn a premium for taking. On equity the price of the asset can change, on debt you either secure it or charge a rate of interest that reflects your assessment of the risk. Hence the shitty rate of interest on savings accounts - your principal is guaranteed up to a fairly large amount so you earn less.

All of those links recommend grains as part of a healthy diet. Usually as the second-biggest source of food after fruits and vegetables.

I really think the success people have (when they have success) with low-carb dieting is because they are cutting out half of a normal person's intake of calories when they remove carbohydrates.

That's a normal person, too - dunno how it works out when a person is getting carbohydrates through icing-covered donuts and not through, say, whole wheat bread, but it probably isn't good.

p.s. I love donuts.
I don't think that javascript can be seriously described as "the worst...language ever designed". I don't think that anyone who has ever written any non-trivial program in AppleScript could agree with that, and I am sure that there are other languages that are, in their own way, unquestionably worse. For me, it set the tone for the article and greatly diminished the value of his observations. After that patently hyperbolic statement, everything he said had to be taken as a possible exaggeration. This is fine if one has direct experience with everything he mentions and just want to read a colleague rant about a frustration one shares, but it means that this blog post is not a useful document to anyone else.
I actually had trouble finding something for my keyboard. I use a "gaming" (ugh, I hate that label) keyboard that's quite wide, but I'm not willing to give up the macro keys for something smaller.

I finally realized a shoe shelf would do it. I think I paid $20 CAD for it. I think it's half the price in the US. It looks as cheap as it costs though. Originally I thought it would be a stepping stone to a Varidesk, but now I realize I can get away with a stand-only setup if I just got a stool.

FWIW, I just bought the stool a couple of weeks ago, so it took me around a year of standing to pull the trigger.

I've been looking at chairs for a while, but like you said, they can get expensive (I had my eye on the Humanscale Pony Saddle [1]). I don't sit for long periods of time on the stool, just here and there to take the weight off.

At $60 CAD, I figured the Ikea Nilserik was probably a low risk purchase compared to something >= 2X the price. You obviously get what you pay for, but if you're not planning to sit most of the time, it works out fine.

How about the following:

1) All countries drop their borders.

2) All countries begin taxing especially international companies (Amazon, Apple!) fairly and impose sanctions upon countries currently acting as tax heavens. Also, criminally obtained and stashed profits e.g. of (former) dictators or corrupt officials, gets seized and redistributed.

3) Rich(er) countries use this money to actually improve the conditions in the countries where migration originates, no matter if due to poorness, wars, climate change etc.

As a planet we cannot longer extract and privatize profits from poor regions and people. It is simply not sustainable (and never has been, tbh).
Thanks. I followed the links in your first two citations mentioned inline as relevant to figuring it out, and neither one provided the answer, which I found frustrating. I did not click on the third as from the comment itself it sounded unrelated.

They probably did the wrong thing with mortgages-for-all. They set up Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as mortgage clearing houses that repackaged the loans into investments. So the net effect made all owners with a mortgage functionally equivalent to renters with a landlord, but with fewer obligations on the financiers. If you have a mortgage, you effectively have an absentee landlord with an agent on Wall Street, who doesn't even know your name.

They probably should have made mortgages secured by land property illegal to offer, except by credit unions serving a geographical region. That would severely limit housing options in less developed regions, but at least the money invested in housing there would stay there instead of getting siphoned off to international finance centers. If your mortgage payment goes to all your neighbors, you can get it back from them every month by offering them local goods and services. If it goes to a holding company, there's nothing you have to offer that it wants, other than cash. So that cash has to come from whatever it is that your region can export.

If the only thing Appalachia has for export is coal and whiskey, then everyone with a non-locally-owned mortgage is dependent on those industries to make payments.

Arbitrage Discovered (2015)
Pretty simple solution...if you don't want to be beholden to external shareholders, don't go public.

If you're pre IPO, fund your company through debt, which is extremely cheap at the moment with interest rates at historical lows, or sane, sustainable equity rounds through investors who you know and trust and are in it for the long haul.

If you're post IPO, pull a Dell and exit the public markets so you can refocus on core business ideas and long-term growth rather than spending time bickering with Carl Icahn and fighting market sentiment.

You don't get to take advantage of structural discrimination and then whine about how hard it is to have to treat people fairly. If that's a problem for a bank then they should find another asset class to invest in.
In case you haven't noticed, this has been how virtually all first-world states have operated for decades. This social democratic ideal has not worked out, but has led to a dysfunctional corporate statism where mere "deregulation" (which is a misnomer, as most cases of deregulation have really been regulatory adjustments in an overall baroque framework that unsurprisingly lead to new pathological regulatory states - just because you cut some edges off the graph doesn't mean the nodes are going to stand still) can lead to catastrophe. This is an example of the state being entrusted to ensure smooth regulation, and failing miserably at their task.

In fact, many banking panics and examples of financial fragility have originated from pathological financial regulations guided by desires of the state to subvert various public finance constraints. Authors like George Selgin, Kevin Dowd and Lawrence H. White have written on this subject.
It isn't the wage it's self that bothers me, it is this 35K GBP figure without any other context that bothers me.

I think it depends entirely on if someone is trying to become /part/ of a country, or if they are merely there to work in it.

For the former the rules should be more lax, that person should need to make at least the median wage for a given job (until they are fully emigrated).

For the latter that person should need to make at least 150% of the median wage.

Family's complicate the decision; but I would say that the most favored member of the family should be the deciding factor.

Agreed. I guess I was thinking more of a "landing-page-as-a-service" option.

Barebones, but enough so anyone searching locally wouldn't have trouble finding their phone number, hours, location, etc.

I don't use Facebook or the yellow pages. If you don't have a website, I probably won't find you. And if your website quickly tells me what I want to know vs. making me click through pages under construction to find it, I'll be much happier.

I've tried BlueGriffon a couple of times, and each time I gave up on it after pretty quickly. One problem was the need for various plugins, the most useful had to be purchased. I wasn't sure enough of the quality and hesitated to make the investment. Besides, documentation was pretty sparse about its UI features, which made it not so easy to use.

Interestingly, I was looking around the net recently for a simple web UI builder. Pickings were quite sparse, either online tools attached to some cloud provider, or elaborate proprietary systems way more than I needed. The ironic thing is that current "front-end tools" still require tediously writing out the UI whether in JSX, JsonML or whatever, pointing up where GUI tools would be most useful.

It's crossed my mind that writing a web UI generator in, say Tcl/Tk, would be possible and quite surprised no one has done it. ATM I don't have the time to pursue such a project, but a small GUI application to produce the "boilerplate" part of the code would be particularly helpful.
