> Its far easier to find a job if you have a job.

I've found this to be true on a very practical level. When I go into an interview while already employed, I have the confidence that the worst that can happen is that I will still have my job. It removes a lot of the anxiety that comes with the process of interviewing and that leads to a better experience all around.
I'd suspect that there is a wide range of what we're willing to accept in a given situation, reflecting our incomplete model of how sound works. However, this isn't the same as us accepting any substitute sound, the TV tropes continue because their absence feels awkward. An AI that correctly mimicks TV-acceptable sounds is just about as impressive (however, this isn't on our list of 'hardest problems', for sure).
That covers everybody on an iDevice - the only browser on iOS is Mobile Safari. Chrome, Firefox, Opera are all skins on top of the Safari Webkit renderer.

Interestingly / Ironically / Whateverally, it doesn't cover a ton of other, non-iOS users. This may be a push to Desktop Safari usage, but I am really uninterested in supporting proprietary browser tech, especially when there are competing open standards, doubly-especially when (as the OP mentioned) Safari in particular doesn't seem interested in supporting other open, interesting APIs.
> If they can do it for tanks, you be they do it for other, bigger toys.

I get that, but why does the jobs program need to be specifically aircraft carriers? Why can't the jobs programs be drones or cruise missiles or stealth submarines or missile ships? Those are all pretty sweet, and won't makes us look as bad if they're quickly sunk in an engagement.
It's interesting to me that your approach to automated testing includes a real, physical device.

How well do you think your robot offering is positioned versus fast and free virtual automated testing within an Android/iOS simulator? I assume there must be some material advantage to testing on a real device, but I don't know a lot about the domain. What happens if the layout of the app changes slightly- are your testing programs purely based on physical coordinates?
Amazon is loaded with questionable shit, with little enforcement from what a buyer's standpoint. Besides the counterfeit stuff, there are reviews of items which are clearly dangerous with accompanied photos. The roll over to paid listings is only going to make it worse as the sellers find more loopholes so they can earn even more to cover their cost-of-sale.

Generally a big fan of Amazon but in the past two years I've increasingly spent more times on other ecommerce sites who police their inventory. Hell, try finding something as basic as Egyptian cotton sheets on Amazon now.

Fighter planes are that old too. And machine guns, and grenades, and even night vision goggles. But the aircraft carrier of today is very different from the aircraft carriers of WW2, and so is the rest of that equipment. Except the grenade.

Moving to California recalibrated my understanding of lettuce/salad greens. Not sure if you meant just lettuce, but in California a typical salad has little to no lettuce, and instead: mizuna, arugula, radicchio. What lettuce is does have is Romaine and butter lettuce, not iceberg.

I wrote an online multiplayer game called Aberoth: http://aberoth.com. I released the first version to the world in January 2010, but the game did not have many features initially, and there was no way to buy anything. Toward the end of 2012 I felt good enough about the product to start selling memberships.

I continued to work on the game on the side over the years, and I released the game on Steam in July 2015: http://store.steampowered.com/app/354200/.

> Supercarriers are good value for money compared to fighter jets

Good value? You're comparing the cost of Tennis rackets to tennis balls, which is irrelevant. We either buy both, or neither.

As for your arithmetic regarding carriers and subs, that flies in the face of the article. The Ford is now (2015 at time of writing) at $14.5B, and is late. To expect that the Navy delivers 3 of those, for just $15B more.... not realistic.

The value of the subs is that they are not vulnerable.
According to the article.
I wish there was a youtube link that demo'ed this here :)
I don't know about that. Apple switched processor architectures twice, and both times software written for the old arch ran on the new one. And when they replaced their entire operating system, they not only made it so you could still program against the old API—just recompile and go—they also made it possible to run the old OS inside the new one so you could still run apps that hadn't yet been recompiled.
Right, because you're searching for stories about interfacing with Epic and they have 50% of the patient marketshare. That's how appeals to popularity work.

You still didn't elaborate on why you said Epic has no HL7 integration.

Another completely missed opportunity on their part. Apple has the cash and where with all to be a bank. All they would need to do is purchase a community bank somewhere, and bam, they could start cutting out credit card processors. No doubt it would be a lot of work, but when you have $200 billion in the bank and their focus, it becomes quite doable.
I have those memories too! I'm certainly not claiming to have invented the idea of dial-up. The idea for this library is to provide a soft modem, highly configurable (thanks to liquid DSP), which comes "batteries-included" with a TCP stack (thanks to lwip). The examples shown in the README can even run on a nearly-ultrasonic modem profile whose spectrum content lies >= 19kHz
None of what you've written here makes sense.

The Russians don't have ballistic anti-ship missiles. There's only one model in the world so far, and it's Chinese.

It's large, expensive, and incredibly complicated, so they don't have many. It relies on a trio of satellites that can be compromised in various ways, and can be destroyed on the ground. It can also be shot down by the SM-3, which is pretty widely deployed by now.

I do not believe the US would respond to conventional missiles with nuclear missiles. For one thing, there wouldn't be any need - we could do a whole lot of damage to China with aircraft and cruise missiles, so there wouldn't be any need, and why invite a Chinese nuclear response? That would be suicidal.

Russian tanks are still vulnerable to the A-10. If we just want to attack "groups of farmers with AK-47s" there are much more efficient solutions, like Embraer's Super Tucano II, for example.
> I wonder how many Civil War technologies remained dominant in WWII; probably not much in the navy.

The US civil war was not a particularly maritime war, so indeed not much in the navy.

But that war pioneered two interesting logistical elements: first, it was the first war to permit rapid movement of material via rail (a surprising amount of rail was constructed during the war). Second is that it was the first economy vs economy war.

By and large the Europeans ignored the lesson, because they figured the details of what was going on in the US just weren't that interesting (big mistake). WWI was an economy-vs-economy and rail war (one problem is that both sides built rail heads to their fronts, so if they could move forward they couldn't supply their new front while the enemy could). The only European power that paid attention was Russia who therefore chose another rail gauge.

WWII was economy-vs-economy on a global scale: the US poured huge sums (mostly in kind) into the UK & the Soviet Union so Germany had to battle a large economy on both sides. In the Pacific the trigger for Pearl Harbor was the US cutting off Japanese access to raw materials (what are bizarrely called "sanctions" today) in the hope of ending prior Japanese aggression in Korea and Manchuria: again, economic struggle.

Big Napoleonic set piece field battles and ship-of-the-line battles appear to have faded into history, but most of the military spending in the US, Russia and China seems to continue to focus on that obsolete model. These carriers and attack subs aren't that useful in the asymmetric fronts we have today.

By the way another good lesson was the American Revolution, which was mostly won via lobbying/payments in Whitehall. Both sides have conveniently ignored that for their own political reasons :-)

Surprise package
App Store policy requires any app rendering HTML/JS to use the safari/webkit-backed UI components.

See 2.5.6 here https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/

"2.5.6 Apps that browse the web must use the appropriate WebKit framework and WebKit Javascript."

As for why this is, one can only speculate. There used to be an extremely strict "no interpreted code allowed", which was relaxed to "no interpreted downloaded code", which I think (with the addition of the JavaScriptCore framework and the lack of bans on bundling a LUA interpreter as many games do) has turned into a "no major functionality changes or additions in downloadable code". I guess their main concern was developers publishing app updates outside of the app store review team's oversight.
Is based on the average refresh cycle for those product lines. Given how Apple is usually pretty scheduled in their updates, it works pretty well usually.
2 people have given me original 2008 aluminum macbooks (the original brick). Maxxed RAM and added SSDs, and I really can't find a competitive reason to buy another computer. My 11 yo son bought an Asus flip simply because he didn't realize a 2008 Macbook was about to show up out of nowhere, and he uses the Flip, mainly because it's his and I think he likes that it's smaller, more his size.

But, yeah, I have the original rMBP and can't bear the thought of upgrading. Any new gear would be more painful than it's worth.

Fascinating analysis, that the authors sort of rebuffed at one point. Carriers are there to project power.

China may have catamaran missile boats and Sovremmry destroyers, but guess what? Those ships won't be operating far from Chinese coastal waters. Those "obsolete" carrier battle groups can operate virtually anywhere on the coast of any ocean. And they'll be able to deploy whatever mix of manned and unmanned aircraft they need to.

another look at this trade thinks its part of a short vol trade - this kind of trades lose money when the price moves too much too fast.

Around that same period was the peak for plane hijackings - almost one per week in 1969. Cuba was the typical destination, 34 times that year.
Well yeah absolutely, I'm saying it's a qualitative trait as opposed to yield per acre which is quantitative.
Example #1: How do you automate a test for what happens to your streaming music app when a phone call comes in? (This was a real scenario a client couldn't figure out how to automate any other way.)
Example #2: You're a car company and have a mobile app that controls parking your car. You have a business (and possibly legal) requirement to test the app with the same unmodified hardware your users will use. (So you can't only use simulators.)
Example #3: You make wearables that measures steps taken. How do you test the wearable to make sure it's logging steps properly? (You shake it with a robot.)

Every company that makes a device (phone, car, wearable, anything with a touch screen, etc) has a secret robot testing lab.

I didn't know all of these examples were real business problems (with the associated big enterprise budgets) when I started the project. But after enough of these conversations, I realized there's something there.

A year.

I was spending way too much time on eBay, so I wrote something for myself that would scrape the web pages and use a kill list to filter out the junk. I wanted a better UI to add words to the kill list and realised I could make money via the eBay affiliate program.

So I took two months off between contracts and wrote the first version of AuctionSieve - http://auctionsieve.com

There was a D&D forum, the Acaeum where a bunch of people started using it and giving feedback.

It was making me money from day 1 but it probably took about a year to repay that 2 months of time investment.

It's now been 13 years(!) and it still makes me money - not enough to live off (the payout calculations from eBay have changed several times) but a nice chunk of change. And I only have to occasionally prod it. And add the occasional new feature.
