Wrong from point 1. I use MongoDB and Redis because first is easier to prototype with ad hoc and second offers unique features one has to remap manually if SQL is used. In short, NoSQL requires less investment than SQL for my use cases.
I've seen a few people say that 1.0 compatibility can be a factor with some older proxies and similar services. I just wasn't sure how pervasive an issue it actually was.
Beats me. It's a cool project, my guess is there's a lot more money to be made there.
Seconded. We need to fix bug #1 in humans, rather than trying to cope with its many symptoms one by one.

What do you do with all the third-party software if you tear Java out of Android? I guess you could have a cross-compiler to <other-language> and run it automatically on install, with an option to run it at development time.

But that means you need to also re-implement the entire Java SDK in <other-language>, not to mention the entire Android SDK. Wowzer. Big project. But you're right, it seems possible.

The importance of being able to actually reach potential customers, and how to do so profitably (ie. cost of acquisition).

No matter how well you can covert or how sticky your product is, you need to be able to get to them first. Most hackers I know (and the old me too) think SEO, SEM, display ads and maybe viral/WOM have this pretty well covered. Not every customer is easily reached via search keywords.

Obviously, it also depends on exactly what kind of application you are building.

If you primarily want to persist objects and indices that don't have good or easy analogue in the SQL world, a NoSQL solution is good solution because you don't have to bother with the unneeded SQL overhead.

If you've doing something that maps reasonably well into the relational model, well, that's what you should use. Rational technology has been around a long time and has been scaled to huge levels. And it seems fairly clear a social network maps pretty well to a relational model.

Not clear what you do, so I didn't sign up. Is it like w00t, but automated? If so, it's a clever idea for rich people. I think it'd be hard to get cool items with mass appeal for cheap enough though.

I'm pretty sure there's an xkcd about writing a script to automatically order stuff off of ebay under $10 everyday. Using that could be a decent marketing ploy.
Yikes. Sorry. iphone. I didn't mean to cast it into the light of tablets specifically.

In this case, arduino (serial) interfaces for android devices are varied and extremely cheap. It wasn't possible at all on istuff until now, and only now with about $50 worth of rent-seeking added on.

One could argue that SQL is a premature optimization as well if all you need is a key/value store or a document store. Using SQL just in case you may need ad-hoc queries could be as harmful as using NoSQL just because you may need to scale.

Each application is different and you need to pick the appropriate tools.

Why is it so expensive to question patent's validity? It feels that if it was cheaper to issue challenges to obvious patents, it would be better for the whole ecosystem.

Tim O'Reilly launched BountyQuest a while ago http://oreilly.com/pub/a/oreilly/ask_tim/2003/bountyquest_10... but that died off, not sure a for-profit organization can be in the business of challenging dubious patents for a long time.
It's a view I've often come across on indie game-related blogs.

Companies like Zynga help push the issue to the fore-front: They get continuous real time data about how changes in their games effect player behavior, and try to use that to maximize the addictive factor.

As a type I diabetic, I use both my forearm and my finger tip for testing. While I find both to be almost painless (admittedly I may have built up a tolerance) arm does hurt slightly less, and more importantly, does not callus like the finger tip. However, in times of rapid blood sugar fluctuation, arms are delayed by about 10-20 minutes, where as fingers are not.
From <http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c112:H.R.1981:>;

`(h) Retention of Certain Records- A provider of an electronic communication service or remote computing service shall retain for a period of at least 18 months the temporarily assigned network addresses the service assigns to each account, unless that address is transmitted by radio communication (as defined in section 3 of the Communications Act of 1934).'.
(b) Sense of Congress- It is the sense of Congress that records retained pursuant to section 2703(h) of title 18, United States Code, should be stored securely to protect customer privacy and prevent against breaches of the records.

So while I don't like the slipperiness of this slope (or the logic of the argument), the May 25, 2011 text only appears to specify non-radio-transmitted connection records as retained. This means wi-fi, phone, satellite are "safe" where "safe" = "not yet".

As I read it, the authors then make a wish that these records be stored "securely" where "securely" = "no one will ever be liable for a breach".

We seriously need an attribution and karma system for Congress.
Everyone in the world has needs for sex and romance. Some people have their needs unfulfilled or repressed, and they suffer for it.

Wrote this comment on the OP (waiting for moderation):

NoSQL is not just about scale (although it can be). In my opinion the main benefit of giving up relational constraints is flexibility. Find me a relational system that can credibly do offline replication to mobile devices. Each of the options I’ve seen are full of gotchas. But if you replace the relational model with an MVCC document model, you can suddenly solve an entirely new class of problems.

Read about how Apache CouchDB is being used in rural Africa to bring collaborative data and web technologies to health clinics that don’t have reliable internet access: http://radar.oreilly.com/2011/03/couchdb-zambia-healthcare.h...

These same patterns are applicable to mobile connections in the 1st world.

And how does your ISP know whether you're using wifi?
I thought they had to keep logs of dynamic IP addresses already. I know for a fact that coffee shops are required to keep such logs (due to Sept 11th --- discovered this during a phone conversation with a local coffee shop's "router provider").
That is damn clever to be sure— but calling it a "very real" threat is a little sensationalist. In this day and age, an attack involving physical access is of little relevance to consumers. In fact, replacing the battery on a MacBook is only marginally more difficult than replacing the hard drive. Of course I'm sure various government organizations are going to have some stern questions for Apple nevertheless...

Anyway, they've already fixed this vulnerability in my MacBook Air. I'm not worried.

What drives founders?
I can think of two very obvious ways two suborn lib_openssl (obvious in that a competent auditor would find them) after relatively little due diligence.

1. Cripple the random number generator similar to the debian bug from 2008, this would be difficult to spot through source inspection, but not hard to spot from active queries.

2. Include valid certificates in the trusted certificate store that allow the distributor to execute a man in the middle attack. This becomes even easier if the dns servers are hardcoded to be those of the attacker.

Basically, if you think the US Air Force has reasons to snoop your communications; don't use their software to communicate. Linux is freely available, build your own high security distro or use OpenBSD or write your own from scratch, don't assume software is secured unless you implicitly trust the person who claims it has been secured for the purpose you are using it; and even then they might be wrong.
It's depressing to me that you would say something like this.
Please tell me that you don't really believe this?

They cold call patent owners actually.
There has grown in the minds of certain groups in this country the idea that just because a man or corporation has made a profit out of the public for a number of years, the government and the courts are charged with guaranteeing such a profit in the future, even in the face of changing circumstances and contrary to public interest. This strange doctrine is supported by neither statute or common law. Neither corporations or individuals have the right to come into court and ask that the clock of history be stopped, or turned back.

Definitely agree. Getting Rails up and running on MongoDB is a lot faster than with ActiveRecord on top of some SQL. Especially when your data format is changing quickly, it's nice to just make a few changes in the model rather than having to track migrations.

Software is about communities and if you don't know this, you haven't been paying attention for the last 30 years.

Software is about standing on the shoulders of the people who came before you. If every developer has to write their own stack, and every developer has to pay $99 for the right to do so, we'd still be in the 70s.

How the hell do people honestly think that this is a valid excuse?
Those people who knew him seems a good guide. In that video, he's talking about accounting math. Actually, I assumed "math whiz" meant proficiency in proving theorems, but the ordinary meaning of being good at arithmetic is reasonable, and probably what's meant here.

Although he's a maths geek in that sense, and he also went to Harvard, I think combing those two as "math geek from Harvard" suggests the theorem proving meaning.

To clarify: that wikipedia article says he graduated magna cum laude. I think to be a maths whiz, you need to be really good at it.

I'm a pen nerd. I keep two in my front pocket. A fine point for text. A wider one for whatever else. Maybe a better question would be "What would it take for me to prefer a digital device over pen and paper?".

Here are some issues that are important to me:

Physical feedback - I like the way a pen has some resistance against the paper.

High resolution - curves need to really be curves.

Ease of access - nothing to turn on with pen and paper.

I can see how a high quality digital replacement could have many advantages. Storage, search capability, sharing all come to mind.

I'm really looking forward to this one, but I'd like to say something about this kind of quality reporting in general:

Being from germany This American Life was off my radar until about a year ago, but listening to just two episodes instantly got me hooked and turned this podcast into an essential weekly habit. This kind of investigative reporting and the ability to tell, structure and plot everyday life experiences are a pleasure to listen to.

The same applies to the lengthy frontpage reports of The New Yorker - turned me into a subscriber of the iPad edition. If print businesses follow this route of intensive and detailed reporting, there will be no need to compete with the often-complained-about online resources, which may be faster but often lack the detail and on site journalism a staff like The New Yorker's can pull off.
You stated "I don't think Ive has even appeared in a speaking role in a keynote" and I was demonstrating this to be untrue.

The idea that Steve Jobs can't be replaced by a single person is based on the requirement that Apple would have to continue on the exact same way. It won't. When a new CEO is appointed, it will be more of a "new normal".
