It sounds like you were probably a child of the 70's. It wasn't exactly a decade of plenty, and even with money, good eating often meant overcooked roast or steak and potatoes, or maybe stinky fish. The only garlic available in most places was a near delicacy, two small heads in an open fronted box wrapped in cellophane.

Don't apologize for the length. It's a brilliant and inspired analysis. If everyone who had something significant to say would refrain from saying it because of its length, we'd be poorer on the aggregate. Thank you for sharing it.
From the article

"For example, those with a childhood IQ of less than 75 ("very dull") go to bed around 23:41 on weeknights in early adulthood, whereas those with a childhood IQ of over 125 ("very bright") go to bed around 00:29."
Wait, so 23:41 -> morning larks and 00:29 -> Night owls.....Are you kidding me?
This just sounds ridiculuous....

Oh I love the fact that we (night owls - sleeping at worst at 1AM, and worst at 4-5 AM) are called "more intelligent". :)
Why would you be exploring the options of the popup blocker if you didn't have it enabled, let alone changing them?
Considering most progress bars are just approximations anyway, Cancel buttons don't even work half the time.

I distinctly remember pressing Cancel while loading a TF2 server, with maybe 80% filled, but it loads anyway, because it had actually finished loading, just didn't update the progress bar.
I have a stone statue of a sacred indian dancing girl on my desk. I use her as a rubber duck. Yes, I know, this wouldn't work at all for most common uses of a rubber duck :)
One big question is if you need confirmation button then should you put a "Cancel" or "No"? or both?
Actually I am talking in both of the case. In case of travel we generally take help of google or any of our friends, relative familiar with that place. But the process is really time consuming. I am seeking for a one place solution which can provide nice and relevant information regarding that place.
As you replied in case of moving, when we have some narrow timeliness for our work then above solution is like a fail.
but practically most of us like to go with this way only.
Yes. The U.S. has always had a popular culture that is deeply anti-intellectual and teachers are (or were, at one point) a form of intellectual.
I purchased insurance through a corporate membership with the American Electronics Association http://www.aeanet.org/Insurance/InsuranceStart.asp some time ago. Don't know exactly how it is now. But it was good insurance then, it was easy to get a small company started, and the cost was reasonable.

Vertical farms make perfect sense when you rotate them 90 from the base, remove all the glass, and maximize your usable surface area. A basil garden in the windowsill is about as vertical as your going to get in any non-scifi form. Maybe having big tubes of circulating algae would work, but then you're all eating delicious Matrix Goo.
My goal is finish up my application for the Peace Corps, after postponing it for 3 long years. They keep knocking my door since 2007 when I indicated my interest. Gotta do it this time while my knees are still strong.

>If the government decides to enact a law mandating installation of CCTV cameras in your living room, you can't refuse.

Unless you live in a democracy.

>Because the government is unlike any other organization. It has a monopoly on the use of force.

In a democracy of course the government is the combined (in some way) will of the people. It bemuses me when people rail against "the government" and forget that means "the people's expressed (in some way) demands" in a democracy; I'm not saying that you're forgetting that part about democracy BTW.

After about 6 months I went to a Freemium model and started selling a Pro version. Sales have been consistent over the last two years, not growing consistently like I'd like, and not enough to quit my job, but a nice side business.

Disappoint? My great-grandparents owned a bakery, and it's one of my small personal dreams to do the same, though it is probably a dream I will never realize.
That's true, it's better usability. But not all options are so visual that it's easy to muck around and then cancel.

E.g turning on Bluetooth – either the user wants to turn in on, or not. Sure, the Apply / Cancel removes the possibility of someone clicking around hitting the "On" checkbox. But I think it's better to optimize for regular use, and not have a Apply button when you just checked to apply.
50% saying they would not repeat does not mean the other 50% would definitely repeat.

Matters of life and death
Chris, I brought up the popup blocker specifically because it was a very simple demonstration of the conditional / predicate nature of exploring the configuration space, not because of its intrinsic configuration worth. Your response makes me think you're not responding in good faith, and have little interest in honest discussion.

The reason for exploring the configuration space? Are you serious? In order to discover what is possible to be configured, of course! Take another example. I'm interested in protecting my privacy, but not at the cost of too much convenience. So I'm interested in clearing some history when my browser shuts down; but not things like cookies or saved passwords. In order to discover what options are available here, in Firefox I need to enable the "Clear history when Firefox closes" option in order to discover how configurable it is. But I don't know how complicated things are going to get when I click on that Settings... button, and I certainly don't want my cookies etc. cleared prematurely, but I can comfortably stride forth into it, because I know I can hit cancel at any time and back out.
Hope to see you all there. It's been a while so I'm sure everyone will have lots of news!

This time we're trying out the Doorkeeper application from the Mobalean guys. It's quite a full-featured app. I recommend checking it out if you're looking to do an event and want to keep track of registration.

I can.

Optimize the site for the most active users: musicians. They haven't leaved MySpace yet. Don't know exactly why, maybe it's a chicken and egg thing, since every artist is on MySpace.
I don't think the Apply button is a good idea, as I said in a cousin posting. Ideally changes would be previewed in a modeless dialog, even to the point of temporarily enabling Bluetooth, but still with a cancel option.
You're looking at Emacs, which has a terminal, and a browser (well, the browser is a bit trickier to add in: http://www.haxney.org/2009/08/its-alive.html), among other things.
I always hear about these types of agreements and wonder what the opinion of the respective nations peoples are.
Unfortunately, it is very easy to see the cost of the new SSD, not so in term of manpower. I would not be surprised if many companies will choose the "more enginering" part because the bureaucracy has made this kind of tradeoff impossible to make.

Does the Nike swoosh pass your test? The brand is the logo, not the other way around. So this would stand out, if MySpace was doing something great. If a logo is supposed to make all impact by itself, and not by the content of the brand – a bright cyan logo with sharp objects would be the best logo..
You have a point, but guidance is important. Without it, there's no structure (which is worse than a rigid structure, imo), hence no directed focus, hence no learning except by accident. A teacher, or parent, or anything else that would fulfil the role of a guide in a child's thought process and experimentation yet at the same time "step out of their way", if you will, is what educational systems should be striving for, in my humble opinion.

Of course, since I'm so humble, I may be wrong and ignored. :-)
The idea is neat, but all of these problems are trivial (that is, they’re about following a simple set of very concrete instructions rather than figuring anything out). It would be a more interesting site if there were some more challenging problems.
I do admit it was wrong of me to suggest that you would not explore the options of the popup blocker if you did not have it configured. Maybe this is because the predicate nature of exploring the configuration space is less common on OS X. For example, when configuring Secondary Click for my Trackpad there is a dropdown that is enabled whether or not the checkbox is checked, allowing me to explore the options without checking the checkbox. Why disable these options? This seems like a better solution than having a Cancel button.

I also suspect that the Cancel button is just masking another problem, that settings dialogs get nested so much that you forget what you changed.
I'll launch a blog search engine until Nov 30th.

This is a much better argument than is usual in these discussions. But I think it suffers from a common flaw: your observation that the students of good teachers in bad schools tend to do less well those of poor teachers in good schools.

This metric is not that useful, for reasons you correctly identify. What would be useful (as far as evaluating teaching goes) but which people seem quite averse to measuring, is the rate of relative improvement, ie the first derivative of aggregated test scores over time.
Cancel buttons...[give] users the opportunity to accidentally click on it when it’s mistaken for the Submit button. Removing the Cancel button completely removes the chances of this mistake happening.

This is an excellent point.

There are two situations where Cancel buttons are proper.... The first situation is confirmation windows.... The second situation is progress bars.

Would this suggest that Cancel buttons are never appropriate on basic HTML / mobile websites? This seems like an extreme rule to me, but maybe it's good advice.

Well then it's your problem! Allow me to claim that if it looks bad to you it's because you were lazy. The possibility of changing the defaults in the browsers is really there because tastes are different. All the pages without "styles" allow you to see them better than the others where the style is forced on you, once you adjust the default style. You set that only once for all such pages you're going to see. It's worth, much more than applying something every time you come to some such page which is what your suggestion was.
I've been working on a simple graph based UI called ConceptsMap that creates a map of all the topics involved in a concept, and how they're connected. Users then submit materials that are related to each node on the graph, and vote on existing submissions. So if you want to learn about LLVM, it'll show you all the branching topics, and you can pick the 5-6 best resources for that concept.
I agree with this so much. Taking the time to learn, just the basics, will save you so much money. Even if you never implement the final project it will leave you in a much better place to negotiate. And if your a coder, take the time to learn about online marketing, same principals apply.

Whatever other skill set you have above all learn to write, if you can write you can express yourself, you can create a business plan, write a blog and write marketing copy and grow your idea on the cheap.

In Gmail, the "Compose mail" form has a Discard button that serves as a Cancel. Have others found this to be a nuisance? (It's never bothered me before, and I think I've often found it quite convenient.)
Most of the reason KIPP is successful is because they eliminate the summer performance gap between rich and poor students. When you don't let poor students sit at home playing x-box and watching TV all summer they don't forget things you've taught them. This is why I believe one of the simplest and most effective solutions we could implement would be universal year round school (not 12 months of school, but 3 months on 1 month off schedule). We no longer have an agrarian society, there is no compelling reason to allow for a 3 month break in school during harvest anymore. And summer is absolutely detrimental to the learning of poor students. And because schools would still be closed 3 months out of the year (just not in a row) the operating costs of the schools would be the same (electrical, maintenance, free lunches, salary, etc...)
You have not seen their code base my friend. It was vile and nasty ;)
It's just another manifestation of acute tastelessness, which seems to be the predominant theme in mass entertainment these days.
I was there and saw Mike from MySpace unveil it today. For those who don't like it, reserve your judgement until the new design is launched. They're about to launch a completely new design which will really give it context, something this type of logo needs.
And, like the FMyLife/VieDeMerde kind of sites, I imagine you could easily spun it off to other subjects if some come to mind.
I agree though, but as usual, there is limited focus in the company and not rocking that boat meant more time spent elsewhere. However, it does feel a bit... wasteful.
Yeah, single biggest lesson learned. Since, my ideas have had a lot more time dedicated to it, more iterations(vs. NONE) and a lot more traction to show.
How long should we wait? We have copious evidence of how flawed the current system is.

I'm not sure it suffers that flaw--I may not have articulated it well, but my point wasn't that teaching cannot be improved, or these methods do not improve it. Or that it's not worthwhile to improve it... it certainly is! (implied: and your method may very well be a valid way to achieve that improvement)

It's a re-examination of goals, in a way. Improving teaching is a goal, but only so much as it serves to better educate students. So: is that the largest component in the US's current production of poorly educated students?

If I were making a movie, to invoke emotion and to inspire people (read: wide audiences) to think and to change, is that the most valuable way I could challenge the audience? Is that the part of the equation with the largest impact? I'm arguing it isn't.
Hilarious...

Fact #1:
The only increase in cost for "premium plans" is the new excise tax which doesn't go into effect until 2018.

Fact #2:
The companies who provide these benefits will have to pay the taxes, not the insurance companies.

Fact #3:
Since the insurance companies are not paying any new taxes on the "premium plans", any rate increases cannot be blamed on taxes they will never be required to pay.

This is, in effect, a payroll tax on benefits provided as compensation to employees. But only the value of the plan that exceeds $27,500 is taxed. So if the plan costs $28,000/yr, they will be taxed on a whopping $500 of the plan.

$27,500 is more than twice what the average employees' employer-provided health plan is worth. So yea, I don't think there's anything unreasonable about taxing whatever exceeds that amount.

Health insurance companies have been raising premiums at ridiculous rates and finding excuses to avoid providing coverage for decades now. I find it hilarious that people are now trying to blame it on a bill that was just passed this year. They only dislike the bill because they dislike who's responsible for passing it.
So, they made something that only runs on Windows. The one platform that runs all of these browsers natively anyway. Incredibly useful investment in time.
>The big question, it seems, is what exactly the constants are at each question mark.

I hate to do this, but mathematically it wouldn't matter what those individual constants are since they're all being multiplied together. The equation you want probably looks more like

S = ?I + ?F + ?P + ?T

or

S = I^? x F^? x P^? x T^?

IIRC in "freakonomics" (and underlying papers) quite a bit of time is spent analyzing why kids are successful or not, and proving (for economists' values of "proving") that peer influence is by far the most discriminating factor, even above family.

So the function that "seem to be" was at least also statistically recongnized and studied :)

(Also, it would point in the direction that what is needed for better education is a more homogeneous mix of the kids, I guess)

GMail's "Discard" button is needed because GMail saves your unsent e-mail as a draft otherwise. Whereas most forms don't upload your form while you're still filling it in, which is what makes "Cancel" superfluous from a functional point of view.

Summarised... a CS lecturer noticed that students who struggle with the small things like syntax, have less time to focus on the big issues of algorithms and data structures. The site gives short practice problems to that effect.

More challenging problems would be interesting, but there's a limit to what you can fit in the stated goal of short problems. Although, I wouldn't say that more difficult problems could be solved in similar space :)
