I agree, and that is sort of what I was trying to get at. A really good developer should be able to create a wonderful user experience all the way down to writing stable and performing code.

However, not all developers are really good. Sometimes you have to bring in someone to work on the design, allowing the programmer to focus on stable and performing code. That is why we have come to have designers and developers.

Similarly, not all designers are really good. Sometimes you have to bring in someone who can focus on the experience while letting the other designer focus on the style. And that is why we're starting to see multiple people take on the different design roles.

Becoming really good at your craft is hard. Some people haven't spent the time required to become really good, or don't have the interest, or in very rare cases are incapable.

Because really good people are hard to find, businesses are forced to break up the jobs up to allow multiple people to fill their niche. I don't know if it is the right thing, but I'm not sure what else can be done. We can't all hire Apple's top talent, even if money was no object.

Not a documentary, but http://folklore.org is an incredible resource of true stories in Apple when they were starting out.

Also not a documentary (and exaggerated in parts), but I've always had a soft spot for Pirates of Silicon Valley. It's a good watch.
I don't think that's true. There's 51 volumes of 400-450 pages, or ~23,000 pages. Let's say you can read half a page a minute, or 7.5 pages per day (at 15 minutes of reading per day).

(23,000 pages)/(7.5 pages / day) = ~3,000 days or a bit over 8 years.
Taxi fare? Where do you live? I've lived in NYC for about 8 months, and I've taken the taxi by myself about three times, and that was purely out of wanting to get home faster.

Getting cross town definitely sucks, but unless you live and work on far opposite sides of town, it's totally doable.

I think your post highlights a key point about NYC: you have to live in the right place. I pay a bit more to live where I do (East Village), but the transit options are awesome, there are numerous grocery stores and markets within walking distance, and many cheap or at least reasonable restaurants nearby.
True, but missing the point.

If you prove, convincingly, to a "locavore" that the stated benefits of their choices are in fact better achieved by (say) acquiring all your food from Wal-Mart, will they thank you and be glad that they know this now? Of course not, they'll get angry. And that's because the actual desire for "locavore" eating is not about the stated benefits, it's about being able to feel superior to others.

Now me, I don't see the point of this. But that's probably just because I have plenty of other reasons to feel superior to others. But if I were denied these then, heck, maybe I'd be tempted to engage in this sort of hair-shirt behaviour too.

What I say is: let the baby have his bottle. If someone wants to feel superior to others due to whatever random harmless activity he's engaging in, then give him a pat on the back and try to avoid bringing logic and reason into the conversation. Everybody has a deep-seated psychological need to feel like they're better than others, and if denied this fairly harmless sort of outlet then these folks will start lashing out in other, probably more harmful, ways.
I agree. "Choose your own storage system" is not a feature for at least 99% of the people who use a photo-sharing service. To the typical user, choosing your storage system means choosing Flickr, or Picasa, or SmugMug, or OpenPhoto, or whatever else. It doesn't mean choosing OpenPhoto+S3 vs OpenPhoto+Dropbox. That's not a real choice. You're still tied to OpenPhoto, even if your files are stored on S3.

Your files (and especially your metadata) aren't going to magically migrate from OpenPhoto+S3 to Picasa unless he's also planning on writing a tool for that, in which case I'd suggest that investing in his startup is an even worse idea than it seems at first, because he's spending time on features that only benefit non-customers.

Neither of your comments make much sense. Amazon already collects tax in a lot of states so collecting in more would not be a major burden except financially.

I've recently committed myself to reading all the books on that supposed "BBC book list" that has been floating around (largely as a facebook meme) recently.

http://fashionabroad.wordpress.com/2011/03/30/bbc-book-list-...

I'd already read 32 of 'em, but I'm working my way through two more (Brideshead Revisited, which I'm enjoying, and The Wasp Factory, which I'm really not [and I don't think you're supposed to]). There's some absolute crap on the list as well (Bridget Jones' Diary? The Five People You Meet In Heaven?) but most of it is pretty good, and I think it'll expose me to a lot of good stuff that I wouldn't have read otherwise.

Virtual Assistant
A virtual assistant is the same with administrative, secretarial, and clerical support, creative and technical services for clients in which the services are done online.
Today, several companies are offering a virtual office services. Some business centers offer small company. They offer furnished office space that has telephone, fax, and receptionist services.
When you are a virtual assistant, you should work in an ongoing relationship with your clients as people who you are working with daily. You should have to get closer with your client as you become the right hand of the client that you are assisted. You have to know about his/her business, family and life experiences in order to build a continuous relationship. You should have to share also about your personal life experiences if possible so that your client can also relate with your backgrounds as his/her business partner because the more knowledge and learning you give to clients, the more they will be able to support you in the future and will give value to you as well. You also do secretarial works but even more than that, like some personal matters, you should have to do what the client demanded as a partner. You should always create value to your clients through a professional and dynamic process of learning.
A virtual assistant can also be described as a special job because of the kind of relationship build between a VA and a client. For me, this kind of job is very much exciting and challenging because you will know several people in some several foreign places that you are able to learn much more than what you expected ahead of time.
Or to put it the other way around, supposing you have seventy years of reading (from the day you learn to read 'til the day your eyes give out), then you'd only have to read 0.89 pages per day to read the whole thing. If it takes you fifteen minutes to read less than a page then you really need to work on your reading speed.

Amazon: Notice of Termination due to New California Law
Hello,
Unfortunately, Governor Brown has signed into law the bill that we emailed you about earlier today. As a result of this, contracts with all California residents participating in the Amazon Associates Program are terminated effective today, June 29, 2011. Those California residents will no longer receive advertising fees for sales referred to Amazon.com, Endless.com, MYHABIT.COM or SmallParts.com. Please be assured that all qualifying advertising fees earned before today will be processed and paid in full in accordance with the regular payment schedule.

You are receiving this email because our records indicate that you are a resident of California. If you are not currently a resident of California, or if you are relocating to another state in the near future, you can manage the details of your Associates account here. And if you relocate to another state in the near future please contact us for reinstatement into the Amazon Associates Program.

To avoid confusion, we would like to clarify that this development will only impact our ability to offer the Associates Program to California residents and will not affect your ability to purchase from Amazon.com, Endless.com, MYHABIT.COM or SmallParts.com.

We have enjoyed working with you and other California-based participants in the Amazon Associates Program and, if this situation is rectified, would very much welcome the opportunity to re-open our Associates Program to California residents. As mentioned before, we are continuing to work on alternative ways to help California residents monetize their websites and we will be sure to contact you when these become available.

Regards,

The Amazon Associates Team

Yes, which is what we thought too. But, you can setup a "custom search engine" with some default site (we used www.google.com), then change the settings to that it uses the entire web, and remove the site that you originally put in.

The Bing and Yahoo APIs are definitely a lot better, IMO. But, as long as Google wants me to use their Custom Search API, then that's what I'll use.
Google's CDN is not down, you are just requesting a file (/ in this case) that does not exist.

You are not giving Chicago a fair shake. I bootstrapped one company in Chicago and raised money from local angels and funds and coastal angels and funds.

Venture funding in Chicago has become significantly easier to come by than a few years ago, and much of your analysis of the city is a perpetuation of rather old stereotypes.

Sittercity, Grubhub, Braintree, GiveForward, Fango, Scholarpro, FeeFighters, Inventables, IfByPhone, BrightTag, PVPower, Centro, Vibes, Groupon and all the lightbank companies, Pawngo, Poggled, SproutSocial, Where I've Been, Local Offer Network, SoCore, TapMe, RedFoundry, yCharts, AnalyteMedia, Appolicious, FutureSimple, RedFoundry, CleverSafe, HoneyApps all raised real money at an early stage in Chicago.

Also, I don't understand why corruption would be a concern at all. If you are a tech company you are never going to need to bribe an alderman.

Since the vast majority of sites with Google CDN references are referencing it via http://, using an unnecessary https:// reference on an unsecured site eliminates most of the potential for cross-site caching (which is probably the biggest advantage of using a popular CDN like Google's).
The Value Of Simulation

Or, take 4 months out of your life, go somewhere remote with the collection, and spend about 4-5 months reading 6-8 hours a day to complete it.

Or, perhaps this could be a business -- host a Harvard Classics Resort where everything is taken care of. You supply the ideal environment for reading (whatever that may be), including a small community to discuss the books with.

You could teach a few speed-reading and self-study courses for an additional cost.
Unlimited never is. I mean, there /is/ such thing as "don't worry about it as long as it's within an order of magnitude or so of what I expect" pricing, and that can often make a lot of sense on the low end or other places where the cost of the customer worrying about the bandwidth used is greater than the cost of providing that bandwidth... but this is not true of the 'at scale' uses of the cloud.

1. It is likely that the passive components are chosen to match the specifics of the cable. This would be more expensive to create with adjustable balancing.

2. This also gives them the ability to have longer haul optical cables without changing the motherboards, the optical transceivers will be inside the cable.

3. None of the ESATA ports on any computer I have ever owned has never seen a plug. All of the firewire ports are empty. Probably 2/3 of the USB ports are empty. If Thunderbolt goes the way of these, why not move the circuitry out of the empty ports?

End withholding taxes, just give people a big bill at the end of the year, and ensure that the names and faces of their elected representatives are on that bill, so they can be reminded of what magnificent service has been received that year.

Triumph of the Nerds is amazing. Some of Steve Jobs' best quotes come from there. It's interesting to see in historical context as well - Microsoft was still on top, and Apple was going through hard times.
I stopped reading after the first question, where the interviewee states that people are "rarely" forced into inpatient treatment against their will. Maybe it's an insurance thing and they kick out the indigents by rationalizing their "commitment to outpatient treatment", but I have multiple friends who sought psychiatric help proactively, got talked into conceding suicidal ideation, and ended up stuck in worthless inpatient prisons for days and days.

This is real, serious problem with how we handle mental illness; anybody savvy enough to know what emergency help is available should unfortunately be savvy enough to know to avoid showing up anywhere in person.
