Aha.

We have 6 teams with full stack developers and testers, sharing a (too) small group of UX experts. Each group have a product owner focusing on a specific area, but there is a lot of overlap.

But the general idea is to avoid big upfront design and instead try and retry the design.

is this related to Apple Music use? I have never encountered this problem with an iPhone, iPad, or iPod. I have music on each and separate settings for all four devices and never once has it asked to delete, let alone with a popup.
I learned to program on an Apple ][, where the programming environment was always a CTRL+RESET away. BASIC was great. I carefully typed long programs that I found in the back of computer magazines, broke them by changing stuff, and fiddled around endlessly. Those incantations are still in my fingers (CALL -3116 for a nice visual effect, PEEK -16384 for the current keyboard key, VTAB and HTAB to get around the screen, etc).

I volunteer at a local Coder Dojo and there's nothing to give these kids who want to fiddle around like that. Scratch is the closest I've found (with the bonus of not having to necessarily be able to read or type), but it's still cluttered with logins and passwords... and, being a GUI, it suffers when the kid's computer doesn't have a big enough screen to manage the complexity they eventually create. It's a shame. I tell kids who've grown tired of Scratch that they can "graduate" to Stencyl, a game engine that uses a similar visual programming metaphor but lets you drop down to the Haxe beneath. It also compiles natively to desktop or mobile, so that's cool too.

Python, ruby, and JS are all really close to the ideal "type and go" environments, but they're also littered with speedbumps. Installing packages and keeping the environment sane are difficult enough for some professional engineers, let alone kids who just want to mess around and make cool stuff.

The woman who started my local Coder Dojo got her son started with his own Linux computer at a really young age and he's a whiz at it, so maybe there's no real problem here and I'm just underestimating the ingenuity of these kids. They'll get it done if they really want it, I guess?

That's right, Craig. It's time to end your troll of the most gullible people in tech and HN. It's time to end it with one more scam: a fake confession of the broken man... who really is honest... who society just couldn't come to grips with. A cliff-hanger that should ensure any book or business deals will still be profitable if merely dependent on a few believing in his con.

Red flags and bullshit from start, especially presentation style in conference interview, to finish. Craig, if you see this comment, please aim for a Darwin Award next as you'd be doing humanity a favor.
Perhaps the Satoshi show is his way to convince Australian tax authorities of diminished capacity to lessen the penalties for his fraudulent acts? A sociopath grasping at any lever that could work in his favor.
I think we need to make some distinctions here. My Macs and iPhones have proven incredibly durable, reliable, and flexible.

It's the syncing services, specifically, that Apple is screwing up. They never figured this stuff out, even under Steve Jobs.

> Fortune magazine reported that during the summer of 2008, after MobileMe had launched to mostly negative reviews, Apple's CEO Steve Jobs summoned the MobileMe team to a meeting in the Town Hall auditorium at 4 Infinite Loop. After asking them "what MobileMe is supposed to do", when someone answered, Jobs reportedly shot back, "So why the fuck doesn't it do that?"

Theoretically maybe. Practically likely no. First of all, this is (assuming perfect sensor accuracy) fairly predictable in that identical interactions yield identical results. It's not very random. Then there is the whole point that the UI presented is context-aware in that it knows where your finger is. Thus is has the potential to be much better to use than a static UI.

You can probably compare it to the clipboard copy button appearing near your selection instead of in a static place on the screen. While it's not in the same location every time, it's in a sensible and usable location.

Of course, this all presumes that you never make mistakes, such as mistakenly assuming that a thumb from the left is used while it's actually the opposite. Then the experience is much worse. However, considering how often my phone thinks it should go to landscape mode while in portrait (never), I guess that's not going to happen often either. If things go wrong, it's your touch-screen. You probably wouldn't worry much about UI popping up in strange places when you simply cannot use your phone.

> If you have an O(N) algorithm that walks the data set in the order that it's laid out in memory(assuming contiguous data) it will beat your O(NlogN)

Not sure what you're trying to say with this particular statement. Of course it will. NLogN grows way faster than N.

And Radix sort is of course drastically faster than comparison sorts if the word size is smaller than logN regardless of the particularities of the implementation.

People don't and shouldn't use big O to describe absolute performance but it's a great place to start and you can't reach the level of implementation details performance tuning if you can't understand or formalize the basics.

But you do have a point overall.

In practice, performance may be different. Big O assumes a particular 'virtual machine' with a particular word size and a particular time it takes to execute an instruction.

'Bitcoin creator': I do not have the courage
I make Android and iOS apps.

But only because people want me to and pay for it... I wouldn't inflict the trauma that is using these on anyone.

I had problems with every single Android I owned, here is the current one:

1. Super slow, even after reformatting everything and reinstalling, it is not even a cheap phone.

2. Terrible interfaces overall, specially as they keep removing physical buttons, and apps started to shove important buttons (like "menu") in random places.

3. The interface thread seemly is prone to freezing, for example yesterday I wanted to use youtube, and the interface froze, and then suddenly opened a video I didn't wanted, and started playing full blast volume and waking people up, and I couldn't figure how to close the damn video, and then suddenly it crashed.

4. This all applies to the actual phone parts... more than once I had to quickly dial someone for some emergency reason (not life or death, but still emergency), and the phone app decide to be slow, or crash, or reboot, and so on.

5. Had the phone app crash on me while I was actually talking to someone.

And this is just my personal phone, in other phones I had one that I had to reinstall and the phone antenna stopped working after the reinstall (it needed a custom antenna driver, that I had to track down on internet and install...), random reboots, slow, extremely fast draining of the battery, specially if you made some mistake like leave a GPS-enabled app running, nevermind the fact that the OS itself is so crap, that every manufacturer ship the phone with several third party apps to fix OS problems (memory managers and defragmenters, app killers, temporary file cleaners, and so on...)

iPhone has another set of problems, but still is problematic. I personally would never buy one (my current client I am testing his iOS code on a device he provided to me...)

>Azoff chose his moment well. YouTube's contracts with the major labels are ending -- Universal Music Group's already has expired, although the two companies continue to do ­business on an ongoing basis -- and the U.S. Copyright Office is conducting a study on the DMCA safe harbors.

Potentially obvious prediction: This is going to be messy, with a lot of mud slinging and accusations.

Personally I'm okay with the system as is - the constant head butting between RIAA and Tech keeps both navigating similar waters. Times will change and new products and services will hopefully bring in more revenue. Now, that doesn't mean artists on RIAA contracts will see any more in their bank accounts, but the industry as a whole seems to be adapting...slowly...painfully...

>Most Internet companies need to get ­permission from labels in order to use their music -- a negotiating dynamic that results in high fees.

...and I have no desire to see that change. What the market will bear, it will bear. Even McDonald's tries to pull "Play for exposure!" if they can get away with it[1].

But, and it's a big but, YouTube as the 'new radio' is a pretty obvious correlative. Just look at how stuff can go viral (e.g. 'Panda') and bring people to a song, increasing its market value. Crazy! Granted, the labels can't totally control this dynamic, which I figure makes them pretty grumpy. We'll see how this plays out in time.

The point is that at the semantic level these statements are random noise. Sure you can see a signal in it if you look hard enough, but what you are actually doing is over-fitting. Some of these statements look like they might be meaningful, but that's just like generating 5 random points and finding that they are roughly in a line.

The finding here is that people on the conservative end are more prone to doing this semantic over-fitting than people on the liberal end. Sure, the sample is self-selected and not representative, but the results are still intriguing. The next step is to replicate this with a better sample, or at least a different one.
People have suggested it's possible that the real Satoshi could have destroyed or not kept the original private key, or it belongs with one of the other, now deceased team members. Is there anything to gain by not admitting to it if this were the case?

Even if a message were to be signed with the original key, people suggest that it would still not be proof as it could have been stolen or extorted. It seems there is no way to prove anything at this point.

CSW's backing by "experts" suggests he is not an ordinary conman. Surprisingly, none of the experts have so far backed down on their support of CSW. Even GA's statement does not withdraw support, only expresses regret for posting support too soon. Also CSW's boldness to assume that the real Satoshi would not out him at this point makes it likely that he was involved with the Satoshi team and has some knowledge about his identity (deceased or otherwise). Or, he is gambling.

CSW's writing style in his blogs and elsewhere suggest it cannot be the same person as the author of the white paper, and yet I've heard another say that his academic papers contain a writing style close to the white paper (I have not verified myself).

All of this is obviously bizarre - the backdating of evidence, fraudulent cryptographic proof, etc. Either he severely underestimates his audience, or he wants to be be discredited.
There has been a suggestion that CSW wants to discredit himself to throw off extortionists (reported 6 months ago).

> This is not an apology or admission of guilt

The narcissists never do that.

They make promises about what will happen in the future.

When it (doesn't) happen in the future, they don't say that they let you down or that they were in error or even admit that they agreed to something ahead of time.

In drawn-out cases there will be many deadlines, the narcissist never owning up to missing prior deadlines.

When challenged, the narcissist will create an emotionally hostile situation to cause an immediate distraction, again promising something soon, and never return to the original claim.

Thought this was a really interesting book about marketing cliches that become tropes in certain industries or markets. While targeted at higher education, I tend to think awareness and discussion would be applicable more broadly ('we are the uber/slack for X')

The title is in reference to "Three and a tree" pictures which show three students (often visibly diverse) interacting with a tree in the background.
Smart contracts may sound cool at first but like many things with bitcoin they are mostly a solution in search of a problem. In the case of wills, the blockchain doesn't address any of the real-world problems typically surrounding them. In most legal cases the problems are not the actual terms or recordation of the contract but in interpreting and executing the contract. Real world events are very rarely dictated by the types of simple binary conditions that can be represented in a smart contract, and the gap between the real world and the blockchain is wide enough to fit a skyscraper through.
Fingers already don't have much precision when tapping. It's even worse when hovering, so hover states on your DOM elements are likely not to work in a useful way. And then just imagine a menu that opens on hover suddenly obscuring the whole site.

[That is true in many places officially, though a blind eye is often turned.]

This is kind of off topic, but there are some places in the USA where you can get a DUI for riding a dirt bike in your own back yard (while drunk).

Since DUI laws often even extend down to roller skates, one could extrapolate that you could technically get a DUI for roller skating drunk around your kitchen.

Of course, no sensible judge would let that fly (I hope).

The problem in this case is that many of the DUI laws don't distinguish between private and public property.
