How I got phished
Interesting to see the scornful mocking of Tinder here, when just a few years on it's produced so much value for so many people. (Sure, no-one needs it - but no-one needs the selection of fresh groceries in the supermarket either. Sex is every bit as human and fundamental a need as food).

The truly naive thing, the glib and facile thing, might be thinking that writing or coal mining should be worth more than coding, based on nothing more than this impression that coding is "kids playing around with tools given to us by adults".

I have a good friend who worked in investor relations for a tech company that IPO'd. He worked with these analysts and they would send him models. I'm told that most of these analysts were juggling 5+ companies and couldn't devote much time to any particular company without neglecting the others. Due to this, their models were often very poor or were missing large, publicly known items.

Something to think about.

This seems highly subjective to me, and to be honest, I can't help but be mildly offended - you just discredited the vast majority of my friendships, and yet I don't even understand what you're trying to get at.

I don't connect with people via words. I've always felt people are primarily defined by their actions, so it is very much about the "doing" for me, and it's through doing things together that I make connections with others. Obviously, my friend with whom I rock climb isn't just my rock-climbing partner - we do other things as well, many of which are unplanned and are new experiences. But it's the possibility of playing out our spur-of-the-moment ideas, as well as the other regular hobbies, that make our friendship even remotely interesting. Without being able to do those things together (which is way, way more difficult when you have to take a plane ride to visit), neither of us would be able to glean any meaning from the other's existence.

I don't know - was I really far off in how I interpreted your comment? What is a friendship, to you?
Thank you for all the suggestions. Yes, 360 views of items are on my to-do list :)

As you mention, some sellers care (but might not have the technical tools, and that's where I come in), but others don't.

I'm absolutely convinced that the shopping experience can and must be improved :) , thanks again for the feedback.

fwiw, Spine is made using libgdx [1], which is open source. The various stretch-goal animation runtimes are also available [2] on Github.

AFAIK the team behind both libgdx and Spine are quite good at giving back to the community. After libgdx they quit their day jobs and went full-time as Esoteric Software [3] and did an excellent job following through with Spine's two kickstarters.

I think this is very relevant to HN not only because of the guys' open source contributions but also their entrepreneurial history (success?).

I think you're the target market as a software engineer, not as a young dude with disposable income. $3000 as a business expense is small, it's the opportunity to build an app for a platform early. If it becomes something larger, then it was a great investment. Of course like all new bets, its risky. Anyone who bought into google glass early sunk with the ship.

Bullshit is a byproduct of a highly incentivized research market. This is what respected journals are supposed to help curate. There are opportunities to create better forms of curation with less bullshit and I would bet people will pay for it.
This is still a bad method of distribution. It would make a lot more sense to make the hardware free but require an application process to purchase them (along the lines of how Google is managing distribution of the Glass v2.0... which likely almost no one actually knows much about).
It's completely standard for some companies to make their development kits ridiculously expensive (compared to actual cost) or put up other insane obstacles for people that want to build something that might create a ton of demand for their product.

A long time ago I was interested in applying Echelon LonWorks devices for a completely different market than they serve. But their development kit cost tens of thousands of dollars[1] for a $100 worth of parts and their development software. So screw that.

To take another example, Broadcom is simply impossible to talk to directly if you're after something as simple as the documentation and a library to access the API on one of their chips. You have to speak to idiot manufacturer's reps, who'll pass on your inquiry to Broadcom if they deem you a worthy customer. The only language a manufacturer's rep understands is the dollar value of the order you plan to make within 3 months for which they'll get a cut. They don't give a damn about wild new ideas or applications you might have if it doesn't translate into immediate large-volume orders for them.

The stated reason for all this BS is that the companies want really serious customers because of the demands and questions imposed by the developers. If that's the really the case, they should have 2 pricing tiers: cheap but no support, and expensive with access to support. But I don't think it's the case; I think it's just the usual big company delusion that they should speak only to important customers and all deals must be big deals.

[1] Their kits seem to be "only" $2-3K now.

I had the delightful opportunity to speak with Wes in May-June of 2015 via telephone on a number occasions.

I have been researching an image called the Digital Mona Lisa for many years, and in a round of searching last year, I came upon Wes's name in association with the creator of the Digital Mona Lisa, H. Philip Peterson, as they both worked on the TX-0 and TX-2 early computing projects. Wes was the project director as we all know.

I decided to give Wes a phone, (and keep in mind I didn't know him prior), and see if he could help me learn more about Mr. Peterson. Once we started talking in that first phone conversation it was like I had known him for years.
A simply wonderful, engaging person that helped me learn more about Mr. Peterson but importantly I got to know about Wes and his vast interesting career, (being at a conference where Oppenheimer was part of the event, his early days at the Hanford nuclear facility, his contribution to the ARPA project and much more). Fascinating stuff from a fascinating person!!

I also found out that Mr. Peterson's first name was Harold, but Wes said he liked to be called Phil and that Mr. Peterson was born in Utah, among other items.

Wes asked me if my last name was of greek descent, which I am, and he proceeded to speak to me in greek. His wit and humor are two things I'll always remember about him, even from such a brief time we spent getting to know one another.

He certainly was a computing pioneer. I hope that his memory is eternal and that we look to past to learn from the careers of others like Wes that paved the way forward.

Does that seriously safe battery? I would have thought push notifications are the most optimized thing ever.
yes and no - roads are such a critical piece of infrastructure, no state can 100% function without them. Government uses them, military too, and vast amount of business is done via them.

we all pay for it, and we all indirectly use it (how do you get groceries to your shop for example?), and most of us directly too.
Indeed. No point to it. I will correct that.
What also matters are expectations. If you have mediocre results, but everybody expected much worse, then you still are a hero (example: Paralympics). This is relevant when dealing with clients. Keep expectations down and then over-deliver. Much better than promise a dream and then (only) deliver something great.

Sometimes expectations are everything that matters. For example, elections. Turns out, you can get a Nobel Peace Prize, before you really do anything as president.

Not only that but Yelp "getting into" a new line of business or revenue stream does not mean you get to say "it's a $50 billion market we're getting into so clearly we can add $5 billion to Yelp's value!"

this is a great time to bring up Bullshit as a topic of study in and of its self. http://press.princeton.edu/titles/7929.html

We routinely say things that aren't quite true -- sometimes with the best intentions or out of necessity. The truth can be a very complicated thing.

What we are calling "bullshit" may go under more serious names (and serious discussions) if we look at specific cases - e.g. finance, medicine, game theory, biology, etc... My back-of-the-envlope definition is that of an "approximation to the truth".

Yeah... it also has a profound effect on children.

I grew up around the world backwards - my dad was a futures trader, and would end up working on a different exchange in a different corner of the planet every 18-24 months. He was also a serial philanderer, which it turns out was the actual reason for the frequent employment changes, but hey.

Between being born and leaving school at 18, I lived in four continents, a dozen countries, twenty houses/homes, and had attended nine schools - only in my last five years of education did I stay put - up until that point I'd not spent more than two years at any school.

So what effect does this have?

I have a weird approach to relationships with other humans. Being dislocated frequently has lead to a low investment high yield model of human interaction - that is to say, I spend as little time and effort as possible on relationships with others, and have an understanding of which levers can be pulled for maximal attachment (on their behalf, not mine - I stay unattached as losing people over and over and over gets a bit painful) with minimal effort. This mostly comprises moulding my external interactions with others according to the expectations that I perceive from them, and thus aiming for the "I met the most amazing X" the other night zone. This isn't because I want people to think highly of me or because I want to take advantage of people - rather because I want friendship in a lonely world but don't want to invest time and emotion into a relationship that may just be whipped away from me. Selfish, I know, but I have to survive somehow.

I don't stay in touch with people I don't see frequently, to the extent that people who were my best friends 10, 15, 20 years ago (all different people of course) I haven't spoken to in 10, 15 or 20 years. They may as well have never existed.

In short, it's turned me borderline psychopathic in terms of how I interact with others, I've learned to be a loner, I can get on with anyone, I can reduce anyone to quivering rage. I don't think humans were really built to lose their entire social group every eighteen months - it's not aligned with the whole primate hierarchy thing.

I recognise the same thing in others who have had similar backgrounds, and almost as oddly they notice the same in me. It usually leads to us simply ignoring each other on mutual understanding of the pointlessness of getting to know one another.

Yep, when iterators do the trick, they're preferable to indexing. But some algorithms (e.g., the tortoise and hare algorithm for cycle detection) explicitly require indexing.

> At launch, we are using the same 32-bit Raspbian userland that we use on other Raspberry Pi devices; over the next few months we will investigate whether there is value in moving to 64-bit mode.

So for now it is a "64 bit" system on paper only?
In 2001 at RTA in Sydney they still had a PDP-11 they were proud of.
I think Broadcom finally realized they have something beneficial on their hands with millions of users and vibrant community. Pee gives them free beta testing of new SoCs. Afaik this is first armv8 from broadcom ever, they announced Vulcan almost 3 years ago and still didnt ship anything. Excellent linux support and great name recognition also count for something.

yet we have P+R on the edges to do exactly that. Bear in mind parking there is almost as expensive as in some private parking in centre, and having parking there + GVA public transport will get you a private parking spot for same amount, and probably no time saved either.

Raspbian isn't the only OS available for the Pi. Also, a 32bit Userland doesn't mean you can't run 64bit software, does it? Doesn't it just suggest that pre-installed applications (and apt repositories) are 32bit?
I'd like to point out that there are three possible stances on a phenomena. True, false and we don't know.

People are bad at maintaining the "I don't know" stance. But it's sometimes the only objective.

No, it is an actual 64 bit system. There is a huge difference between a CPU that can run 64 bit code and just hasn't had any compiled for it and a CPU that will never be able to run 64 bit code.

As the RasPi foundation investigates this "over the next few months" there will inevitably be other people who release 64 bit builds for anyone who needs the extra oomph.

Eiffel contracts are still checked at runtime, which kind of defeats the point - the real payoff of enforcing an invariant statically is not having to check it dynamically! What I'm talking about is using a special kind of theorem prover called “SMT solver” to guarantee at compile time that your array indices are always valid, eliminating the need to perform bounds checking at runtime. In many cases, SMT solvers require little to no programmer-supplied annotations, which makes them more ergonomic than full-blown dependently typed programming languages like Coq, Agda, Idris, etc.

Of course there exist many places where we have not reached the point of marginal gains (and hence massive room for improvement), but you don't make an argument why you think we haven't reached that point anywhere on Earth.

I think you underestimate the practical difficulties of providing 7 billion people with top-notch public transport and other public services, and there is no precedent of what a region the size of Texas with an average density of 10k/km2 would even look like (though there are artists' renditions, most of them dystopian). But anyway, if that could be done, it could just as well be done if you split everyone into groups of 200k to 2m and settled them in smaller regions of similar density. And that's not a hypothetical, that's what we call a city now, and they work fine.

That's true, but why is this a problem? For a sustainable, walkable city it's only relevant that all key infrastructure (e.g. schools, shopping, leisure, parks ...) is within walking distance and this infrastructure gets replicated in bigger cities.

I agree. I'm not saying that cities larger than 10m are a problem, per se, I'm just saying that smaller, dense cities get you most of the advantages from a quality of living and services aspect. I think it's a matter of taste whether you prefer to live in a city of 50k, 100k, 500k or 2m, and all of these are broadly similar in terms of sustainability.

Important and notable while reading this is that the company "Axel Springer" is the owner of the german equivalent (in paper) of Fox News, or for UK people, the Daily Mail.

The influence of this is visible at the very start of the article, which is a submarine advertisement for Berlin as a tech location, where Springer has many businesses that look for candidates from a large pool of developers who they then massively underpay.
