I always thought that was a deal breaker and the very reason that people head to the bay area (or any Startup city).

I would be pretty easy to have an existing relationship move across the country/world and then still make it work, but I think it would be quite difficult to be able to find a stranger and build a strong working relationship.

I'm pretty sure that 37 signals started that way.
I gave it a try today. Wanted to send process stats to graphite. Installed it on Ubuntu Trusty, installed the graphite plugin and the process watch plugin and... The td-agent couldn't start watch metrics plugin was incompatible with the 0.12 version of fluentd. So I resorted to collectl.

So few understand that most "real life" things involve inductive logic (IE, probability) because real life is simply too complex and variable to give absolute deductive proofs of most things. You can still come to solid conclusions, but those conclusions are still "most probably true" rather than "absolutely true."

This looks awesome.

I hope it has SATA though. In fact among all the "popular" ARM chips, only iMX6 from NXP/Freescale and A20 from Allwinner provided SATA interface. Marvell used to do ARM/SATA and now it's hard to find those chips used in any open designs.

Very much off-topic, but your punctuation error left me wishing English allowed for infixed exclamation marks. This would place emphasis on the word 'privilege' rather than on the whole phrase (as the case when appended to the end of a sentence).

I'm not saying we need NAT, just that without prior need for NAT, perpetuated by ISPs only giving us one IP, I doubt anybody would have any ingress filtering at the border. It's a lot easier just to block ingress to the whole house than it is to ensure a dozen devices are secure against unwanted incoming connections... this problem will present itself with the IoT sooner or later.

I've occasionally been known to let my annoyance get the better of me, and post a complaint about the article. Many times it's because an article exhibits a "helpful" feature that frustrates the way I use my computer; the NY Times, for example, changes the text size when I double click to highlight a word.

I do feel like nobody's interested in hearing it most of the time, but I also feel like such a comment would naturally fall near the bottom, out of the way of any real discussion that might crop up but above the trolls. What's so wrong with having a tangential but not harmful comment on what's annoying us about the medium?
I think it's worse when you're single and really have no plans on having kids. It's just one of those things that make it hard to socialize since the common activities aren't going to align as often, either. That's been my experience so far.

It's a devkit, not for general release. Microsoft has already addressed why the FoV is narrow, and it has to do with battery life and power needed to process the scene. So the wider FoV will come when battery tech and processing power catch-up.

I've used a Hololens, yes the FoV is off-putting, but the technology itself is incredible. If I had $3K to throw around, or if I were a big enterprise looking to invest for various research using Hololens, I'd say it would be worth it.
I agree with the sentiment. Experience of elders has much more added value in stable, non-evolving society.

Is There Any AVMetadataItem Alternative in Android?
I have a requirement where we need to draw different shapes like Circle/Oval etc on top of Video Player probably using a Surface View. In iOS, we are using the AV Foundation's AVMetadataItem Objects to store the required information like Object's Shape, Coordinates (where it needs to be shown). When the Video Playbacks, we use the AVMetadataItem Object information & use the same to draw these back on top of the Video. The data is being stored for every MilliSecond. The Video Format currently being used in iOS is MOV.

Is there any direct alternative approach available in Android which can be used to fetch the TimedMetaData from the video & use that to draw Objects on Surface View.
I suppose I can understand your attitude, but it would never work for me. I have very few friends. I cannot afford to lose a single one due to distance. I am not very good at keeping in touch with friends who live far away, but I certainly try to, and I seem to be able to keep about 2/3 of those relationships at least for a few decades (more study would be needed to extend this estimate <wink>).
I suggest taking a look at the logz.io - it's essentially ELK as a service. We take care of many problems ES has and also have great features extra such as Alerting, Apps and Insights. I'm one of the core developers there so I'm fluent in pricing but last time I checked it's wasn't expensive and definitely worth your time and hosting costs. One the the great things about it is that you can simply migrate your dashboard and just ship to our Url.
I'm not paranoid or a conspiracy nut, but I can see where people would jump to the conclusion this is being done purposefully by the government to extend its blanket surveillance of the population.

I may not be able to hack your iphone, but if I can get on your network through a rather easy means, it will give me access to what the information I really want and then correlate it with the rest of the information they can get from the carriers.

This seems awfully shortsighted. Perhaps some 'home' devices are gratuitous at this point but certainly there are other uses for headless devices to be connected to the internet.

Yes, the only thing that benefits from a an internet connection is a computer, but eventually everything will need to have a computer in it.
Eset Smart Security 8 Username and Password 2016
A very excellent read, thank you for sharing. I've experienced a very similar thing about a year and a half ago, so it's always comforting to read about someone else's experience!

I still remember it vividly now, I took exhausting notes during the process - notes that I thought were full of pure spiritual brilliance - and which turned out to be mostly mad gibberish in the end.

Among other things there were a few days that I spent convinced that I was a character in a video game and I had to make sure that the game was "entertaining" or else the "player" would "switch it off".

Some things were downright Lovecraftian in nature. Reading his stuff now, I'm pretty sure that a lot of his stories were inspired by his own mental trips. ie, one of my favorites: http://www.hplovecraft.com/writings/texts/fiction/hy.aspx

But mostly it was full of that exhilarating rush of being connected to some hidden truth that no one else has access to. I can see why it's hard for people to just walk away from that when those visions feel so meaningful at the time.

Anyway, well done for recovering! I guess a lot of people don't, which is quite a disturbing thought - being stuck in that mental state forever - so that makes us quite lucky.
> But it would be really interesting to have cities with that have 200k - 1m inhabitants and are extremely dense like central Hong Kong. They may be big and dense enough to have the economies of scale of their larger rivals. But, as pointed out by "vidarh", they would not remotely match megacities in terms of interesting cultural life.

I think with that kind of density, if you go to 1m-2m size, you have a sufficient base for very regular high capacity public transport to other similar sized high density cities very near.

E.g. Macau fascinates me (though I've never visited). It's a fairly small city - roughly	643,100 people (2015 estimate) - , yet it's spread out over a positively tiny area - about 30km^2. Overall density of 18,568/km2. If you condensed London into smaller cities with that density, you could have e.g. split London into four cities of about 120km^2 each, and still free up more than 1000km^2 for green belts or low density zones around them, and yet they'd still be near enough to each other for it be pretty much as easy to travel between the areas as today, and the increased density in each city might even cut down total travel times in many cases.

The biggest challenge with something like that would be disciplined planning, beause obviously if you put big, dense cities like that near each other, the land in between would become immensely desirable.
Thanks for the posting, I know 37S did. Do you know of others?
> What do we want? Make some scifi become real? No, we just want helpful machines.

I think you underestimate the desire for mankind to create something that resembles itself. It's a very old myth, and IIRC some traces of it can be found as far away as in Greek mythology. And it can be found here and there towards modern times, from Frankenstein to Metropolis or Terminator. There's a reason why Science-Fiction is such a significant portion of modern literature and why this theme is a major part of it. It has a powerful appeal.

You say we want helpful machines, but how many of the machines we create are more toys than tools? Even a machine that would be as smart as a dog would probably be extremely lucrative as it would be sold as a pet. Slightly more intelligent it would be used as a domestic helper or a companion.

I would even go as far as saying that for some people, the ultimate goal of AI is to replace the human body, including the brain, by artificial counterparts that would free them from the pitfalls of a biological existence.
"NAT isn't providing ANY security" - except for the fact that there's no way for a host outside your NAT to initiate contact with any host inside your NAT. That sounds quite a lot like security. As for "your private addresses are betrayed all the time by your browser", I'm not sure what an internet host is going to do after discovering my IP address is 192.168.something that they couldn't already do.

The IR emitted is a structured laser light at IR frequencies.

They're already using "lasers". The problem with using any sort of structured light is that your frequency can't be in the same band of any sort of flood lights (sunlight, ballasts, IR camera lights). It's also why X-Rays work well: it's a structured light (kind of) and can be used because we won't have a flood of XRays everywhere.

The problem isn't with "IR": they should not be using a structured light solution. It's just not durable enough for 3d scanning applications. It's also why I've worked on a SLAM-like 3d scanner. Understanding geometry, corners, edges, and gradients are much more versatile in scanning, because it is passive. Our very eyes don't send out beams of light, and yet we manage a very accurate SLAM-like map inside our own heads.

The problem with the Hololens is that until they switch to a vision-only system, they're going to be plagued with problems regarding IR sources (or whatever freq they choose).

We don't, because people don't care.
Nope, it also means that they have much more votes in comparison to young voters.

It's not about cheating or "proportional representation". It could mean that too, if we were discussing voting systems, but we are not.

We're discussing the fair share of the vote each group gets -- and how the total of young votes vs old votes are out of proportion, that is imbalanced.

> ...just that without the need for NAT, perpetuated by ISPs only giving us one IP, I doubt anybody would have any ingress filtering at the border.

I disagree. Defaults are a powerful thing. If one's router ships with a default REJECT ingress firewall, a non-technical user is not likely to change it.
> I am not sure what will be their (Flipkart’s) value proposition.

You are missing out on the whole forest. If you think Amazon was an innovation, solving for ‘hate to go out for shopping’ scenario, then ecommerce in India is 100X of that innovation.

It for simple reason that for vast majority of Indians (non-urban, big and small towns, villages etc.) there is simply no alternative if they want to buy a mobile or a SD card for mobile, or a particular book, or that latest Levis, sneakers, and so on… Heck even in big cities it is a struggle to find things.

The local business that you are mentioning who do home delivery is for day to day things, doesn’t extend beyond ordinary grocery items.

Now why Flipkart still has an advantage? It is simply because it had first mover's advantage. Its brand is well settled in the mind of people, particularly if you consider non urban towns and villages. Those people have simple mind, once a brand settles in their life it is very difficult for another one to replace it. Amazon et al will need to work 10X hard to replace Flipkart from their habits.

Another angle is - mobile.

At the afore mentioned places, the primary device for online shopping is mobile. Now if an app has entered into their device and they have gotten used to it (mind you these folks are not as tech savvy, smart yes but not tech savvy as they never owned a PC before), it becomes very difficult for another online retailer’s app to replace the app that they are used to.

Flipkart still has lot of advantage over Amazon, Snapdeal due to its brand recall (still today if you walk out of city area, online shopping means Flipkart to majority of Indians - almost same as what Xerox is to Photocopy).

That is their value proposition (to investors).
A Closer Look into Pocket's Transformation into a Social Network
Maybe it's too early on a Monday and my reading comprehension is off, but I'm not sure I get the point of this. Is this just a fancy blog for engineering stories as a means of hiring more engineers? If so, I'm not sure the magazine-like reporting style is speaking to me here. I'd much rather see these types of stories in a first-person, conversational blog format. But maybe I'm missing the point, or I'm the wrong target.
How do you define European, anyway? Is Moscow a European city? How about Tbilisi? Tel Aviv feels pretty European to me as well.

I realize it's not PC to talk about these thing in the open, but Europeans do share some form of common cultural heritage that unites them - they're all part of the West and Western Civilization and all that implies.

Historically, Istanbul was always part of "The Orient" - it's where Europe ended.

I'm from Eastern Europe originally, which has a complex relationship with Turkey - Ottoman Empire and all that. Most people I know do not think Turkey is part of Europe, nor that it should be ever let in. And that position is considered "soft" compared to how the Greeks feel about it - whoooooo boy.
In my opinion, you can only value tech companies relative to each other, because as a whole their price/earnings ratios are all too high. For example, if you sum the value of the entire solar power industry, you get roughly the value of Twitter. That does not make sense to me.
this would explain quite a big amount of arguments between people too
There is a difference for Hololens, they already presented half of the goodies in the video LIVE.
> If the current comparision shows a smaller value, we update smallestSoFar.

if ( a[smallestSoFar] > a[nextToCheck] ) {

This code makes me twitch. Finding a smaller value by checking to see if the old value is larger than the new value... Instead of checking to see if the new value is smaller than the old value.

Additionally, calling the value you are currently checking 'nextToCheck' is also confusing. It's not the next one, it's the current one.
I agree in a lot of ways. I've kind of dramatised the point for clarity.

I live in London, out in Zone 6.
In some ways it's the best of both worlds, but often it feels daft that I don't just live in the actual countryside.
(I previously lived in Z1/2 - great for 'doing stuff', but it had me feeling like a farm animal fairly rapidly).

There is indeed lots of green space, within the city and outside of the city.

But it's still a city. It's almost completely manmade, there's pollution or at least distraction everywhere (billboards, vehicle noise and fumes, people).

It doesn't appeal to everyone, and the idea that it's the 'way forward' I find quite obscene. We should be giving people the choice.

There are lots of parts of living in the city I enjoy, and lots of parts of living in the country that I enjoy, and I think we should be setting up society so that people can choose their poison. Remote working would be a great start.

I think the most basic issue I have is with the idea that all of the problems of cities can be solved.

There's at least one which is impossible to solve - and that is the sheer number of humans and the restrictions that go along with that. I don't want to live in a street or a tower block that has 10,000 other humans in. It makes me feel like I'm in an ant farm.
