The jury is still out but the general sentiment seems to be that Android is better software than WP7 and as you insinuated the "hordes of Android phones out there" aren't particularly well built, certainly not to the level of the iPhone. If Nokia is as good at hardware as they are being given credit for wouldn't they want to build premier hardware for the Android platform? It's not like MS will not license WP7 to all the other OEMs that are on Android right now and I haven't seen much evidence that Nokia is actually good at UX so it's unclear what they could add to WP7 that would be of so much value. After all "taking HTC's place back in the old Windows Mobile days" seems like a pretty scary image of the future.

If all they do really well is hardware, and both platforms are available to all OEMs, why not go for the more successful one, especially considering that WP7 is proprietary so MS can decide to play hardball with them at any point.

My own opinion of Nokia is that their classic line of phones had by far the best software, and while initially it had better hardware, that lead narrowed considerably pretty quickly. Yet that software was very good because it was an extremely feature limited and highly resilient phone OS. Nothing modern is as good at being a cellphone as a classic Nokia. And as the iPhone conclusively demonstrated, that doesn't matter these days. Symbian was a disaster and Meego seems promising but behind. They really lost a great catch in Palm, and I'm not really sure they'll be able to differentiate themselves as a hardware builder on any platform for that matter.

My weekend coach suggestion would be to take a leaf from the iPhone playbook and release only one phone every year or more, that has the best possible industrial design you can muster and that gets timely updates to a vanilla version of Android, properly tested and integrated. If you want a low-end model just tweak the previous year's high-end model and sell it cheaper (think PSOne).
Tesla was nowhere near profitability when they went public. Pandora just has to wait a few more quarters before getting access to a natural flow of cash. That's what I found strange.

Don't develop top secret projects internally. Develop them in a separate office. In this case, since it's more of a software project, you can leave designers thinking they are designing a Symbian or MeeGo phone, engineers using a current N8 hardware and ship your programmers to Redmond so they can work on their port from within Microsoft.

Current debate aside, just like to say thanks for Pinboard from a happy customer. Good example of something that "just works", so you must be doing something right :-)
Not that I'm disagreeing with the article, but I find the statistical analysis to be lacking.

The article cites the difference between seniors and freshmen as measured in standard deviations, which would be a good way to measure these differences — if you weren't also comparing them over time. 1 standard deviation in the 1980s, 0.5 in the 1990s, and 0.18 today.

However, if you note that college enrollment increased dramatically over the same time period, it is reasonable to conclude that the standard deviation of test scores now represents a larger difference in skill than it did in the 1980s. How much larger? We don't know.
Absolutely agree.

I'm fed up with seeing a whole swathe of 'degree' coures in what many years ago would have been a work-based apprenticeship. Hospitality and event organising, outdoor activities leadership and so on. And does the world really need quite so many qualified psychology graduates? Or, for that matter, English Literature? Why, exactly, are we paying for these courses?

I was doing some grocery shopping a few months back. The young guy at the tills was talking about saving up to go and do something-or-other with his University friends. Three years of expensive education and a large debt, and he's landed in a job you can get at 16 if you can nearly count.

That said, I was already rapidly concluding that degrees were of questionable value even before the recent fee change (not exactly a tripling of the financial burden because of the very different repayment model and possibility for writeoffs, but still...). I'm still not at all convinced that there is value added to your career prospects by delaying employment by 3 years and accruing a rough year's gross salary debt. I don't doubt it makes the first job easier to get at 21 than it would be by 18 but I've seen no evidence it makes a substantial difference by 25.

If you want to go to Univeristy, do it and enjoy it. But for a whole swathe of jobs it's a long way from the meal ticket that it's painted as being.
The world needs more managers like that.
It is very annoying that 'volatile' means different things in different languages. Inexcusable that Microsoft should unilaterally change the meaning of 'volatile' in their C++ compiler, adding yet another #ifdef into everyone's code.
When that thread came up originally, I was intrigued by the idea of the dual-pivot quicksort, and went on to browse Robert Sedgewick's Ph.D. thesis, _Quicksort_, published in 1978. Sedgewick considers and analyzes several variants of quicksort in his thesis, and I've quickly discovered that he analyzes and dismisses the dual-pivot variant under a different name. I don't know whose analysis is better, but it does follow that we shouldn't treat dual-pivot qsort as an original invention (not to detract from Vladimir Yaroslavskiy's doubtless ingenuity).

Here's an excerpt from the email I wrote to Prof. Sedgewick back then; he didn't reply, so I've no idea what he thinks about this:

"I believe that your PhD thesis studies this under the name of "double partition modification". I could find no real difference between the two algorithms. Yaroslavsky claims to achieve a factor of 0.8 improvements over the standard quicksort on the number of exchanges (neutral on comparisons), while your analysis led you to reject the technique after concluding it required many more comparisons than the standard quicksort. I've only attempted very cursorily to reconcile the math; it seems that both your thesis and Yaroslavsky arrive at 0.8n(log n) as the average number of swaps, but you have (1/3) n(log n) as the average number of swaps in the classic algorithm while Yaroslavsky has 1.0 n(log n) for the same thing, so what he sees as an improvement you viewed as a disaster. My interpretation of this may be wrong, and I haven't attempted to verify either analysis yet."

The "classic algorithm" in the above is the classic quicksort as presented by Sedgewick in the thesis, which is slightly different than e.g. the standard Java implementation. I lost interest soon thereafter and stopped investigating this, but it shouldn't be too difficult to find out who was right in that algorithm comparison, if someone's interested enough.

"He said the company’s engineering driven culture is also responsible, explaining that the engineers at the company see the design of the software on a mobile phone as secondary to the guts of the device"

The conflict is not between technology and marketing, but between hardware and software. The NYT columnist is using the term engineering in a manufacturing rather than intellectual sense.
Asymco has a fairly good list; http://www.asymco.com/2011/02/11/in-memoriam-microsofts-prev...
>"Because of the hardware similarities, the major differences of these devices appear within the software - specifically, the design, functionally and experience of the software."

It's not saying that hardware and software doesn't matter. According to their definition, Nokia lost because design (software) is secondary to hardware (engineering).

Actually, the article brought up a very good point: "In comparison to early mobile phones, most smartphones on the market today look identical."

And what do they look identical to? The original iphone.

Most hardware manufacturer are trying to compete on Apple's turf. The result is that most consumers will naturally compare their design to Apple's. It's going to be extremely difficult to catch up.

Remember the original Apple's phone collaboration with Motorola?

That's Apple trying to compete on Nokia's turf. Result: Failure.

Now the mobile manufacturers are trying to compete on Apple's turf essentially by mimicking iphone. Is it any wonder that they will find a hard time competing?
I note in the interests of the soundtrack they skipped the 80s turbo cars completely! No bad thing though; they were spectacular performers but not spectacular noises, to me at least.

I'm fairly sure I've seen all the cars they had in the advert running in person. What it's really lacking is the physicality, unsurprisingly; the pops and cracks of the overrun, the way the howl of even the older engines just reverberates and I think must have some key harmonics that are out of the range this reproduces, the guttural roar of the engine at low (for it) revs just shaking the world as it brings everything together.

Think of the difference between an orchestral recording and hearing the orchestra in person. Now give it the power of Metallica in concert. Welcome to live F1 engines.

> Nokia would be just another Android device maker competing with dozens of companies

Why would Microsoft favor Nokia over its own interests of selling WP7 to every phone maker out there? The only reason Nokia faces little competition is because nobody wants WP7. If Nokia takes the risk and proves WP7 is viable, other phone makers will use it. If it fails, it's doomed. From Microsoft's point-of-view this is perfect - all the downside is Nokia's and all the upside is theirs.

> offering basically the same exact product except

I can tell you Android phones from Sony Ericsson, HTC, Motorola and Samsung are quite different from one another. Some are more alike, having more in common with Android base implementation, and some others are totally different. My Nook, although running Android and having 3G doesn't look like an Android phone at all.

> Google isn't going to piss off Samsung/HTC/Motorola by playing favorites with Nokia either

Your assumption that Microsoft would not piss of Nokia, now that Nokia bet its future on their cooperation, is very risky. Microsoft will do whatever it needs to increase market penetration of WP7, with no regard whether that pleases Nokia.
I'd like to emphasize the point that in the smartphone market, software is king to hardware. It is the software that ultimately determines what you can do with the device and the hardware is simply there to facilitate the execution of the software.

Hence the desperate need for a software ecosystemem.
Me too. I'm also here to say "told you so" to the many, many people who refused to listen. Fortunately, Toyota knew how fickle Americans are, and weathered the storm patiently. After all, we do buy their cars in the end!

he just said that humans are, in general, better off.

He claimed that life is no longer nasty, brutish, or short. This is simply not true for a large group of the population.

While I happen to think that humanity is overall better off due to technological progress (shocker), this fact isn't really relevant to my point.

I simply think it's irresponsible to consider sweeping benefits technological progress when it's only allotted to a select few, and being aware of that danger is our responsibility as technologists.
These look like exceptionally pretty renders - I have the feeling that the final product will look nothing like that. The reason modern smartphones don't have those sleek contours on the back is that a long-running (read: large) battery is a prerequisite. All of the swooping contours in these shots are basically trading hours of battery life for a dramatic look - I'd be surprised if this survives basic testing.

Nokia has MeeGo, which is able to run Android apps using Alien Dalvik (sure, this is more proof-of-concept for now, than the real thing, but this is certanly feasible).

They could profit from two already strong ecosystems at once (GNU/Linux and Android), while not being Yet Another Android Vendor.

Now they are just a hardware vendor for WP7 platform (which is not a "ecosystem" yet).

I just read the original paper on samplesort, so this might not be the most up to date description, but the basic idea is as follows:

- From an input sequence of length n, choose a random subsequence of length k.

- Sort the subsequence.

- Partition the remaining (n-k) elements of the original sequence into the (k+1) partitions given by the subsequence.

- Sort the (k+1) partitions.

In the paper, the partitioning and sorting is always done using quicksort. Any n*log(n) sorting algorithm should work though, which includes using samplesort recursively.

If you use an optimal value for k (and this might be a significant fraction of n), you can prove that lim_{n->infty} E(C_n)/log(n!) = 1, where E(C_n) is the expected number of comparisons for a sequence of length n.

Now, using samplesort recursively, quicksort is samplesort with k = 1. Double-Pivot quicksort is samplesort with k = 2.

Burroughs-Wheeler transform is not just an academic idea, but is the basis for one of the standard tools for aligning short reads: http://bowtie-bio.sourceforge.net/index.shtml . There was a mention of compression earlier in the thread, but this is a red herring: BWT also used in bzip2's compression, but the use with DNA sequences is not to compress, but a pre-processing step on the haystack. As epistasis said, when you have billions needles, it makes sense to pre-process the haystack so that the per-needle cost is as low as possible.

As for the FBI's DNA database, this does not consist of sequence data, but, I believe, just microsatellite data. Even if they had full sequence data, it wouldn't make sense to search for new samples against the whole database, but to align the sample with a reference genome and then match the variations across a database of variations.
It enables Nokia to manufacture cheap smartphones with good battery life. Some Chinese Android-based phones are starting to have comparable prices, but certainly not battery life.
Android Got Thumbs
Paul, thank you for adding your point of view, and I understand that it was a bad surprise to hear the bad news to late.

But if I understood correctly:

1. he was not planning on applying to YC, you asked him to
2. he had a good living situation and local contacts, and you asked him to move to SV
3. he had a functioning company wit income and co-founders, and you asked him to do something (move to SV) that blew up the company

As he makes all these sacrifices, in a very short schedule, you decided that you no longer wanted to fund him, as he turned up, suitcase in hand.

It is fine that you did not want to fund him into your group, and that you have well-tested criteria about co-founders.

But the guy made sacrifices for you and YC, and from what I understand, you / YC dumped him in the last minute.

To me, relationships are built on moments of truth. (Not my phrase, I heard it from the CEO of a health insurance company.) What do you do when things are going badly, rather things are going well.

Perhaps you are being modest, but I cannot see any mention of anything you did to help him, now that he was in a foreign city with no connections and no co-founders, trying to follow your instructions. "Apply for the next YC" does not count as help, and the ability to mention that you had accepted him previously does not count as help either (although I am sure he used it in his self-introductions).

Good on him for finding funding, and of course he is a good entrepreneur for picking himself up and continuing, and you are a good spotter of entrepreneurs for selecting him in the first place. But to me, this story does not reflect well on YC.
