Well so much for heads up displays.

That was a cool shot of the shuttle I've never seen before.
I wonder how many of those controls are redundant systems you only need to touch if they light up?
This is actually an artifact of the way planes are certified today (DO-178B). The verification process has to be done by hand - you can't verify automatically generated computer code.

The result is that you can't build say, a prolog program which produces a huge switch statement to prioritize errors. As a result, there effectively is no prioritization of errors and warnings at all. They're all treated as the same severity.

The new standard, DO-178C allows for computer models to be used in verification. So we may start seeing automated prioritization and management in the generation of planes after the A380/787.
A fair way to distribute them would be send them to those that chose to donate to the fund?
I'm not sure that we used the same method to get to this part, but I too ran into this output.

Interested in seeing how my solution was off, and if I was thinking about it the wrong way. Any luck?

This applies to everything. When you need something, look at what people who actually need it are buying, not what people who just want to cover their ass are doing.
Also if you have time try to use as much real-world data or a real-world scenario as possible. I've gotten burned when I've done unit and integration tests and still that one guy slips through that we never would have thought of but of course shows up come production time.
OK I'm going to go nuclear to determine if this is some automated script or a manual hack: @Socialize just put $300 (!!!) on the card (remember... this is to promote the SDK Speed Challenge... so maybe click the link so I can claim some kind of ROI! http://go.GetSocialize.com/SDK-Challenge)

I figure if it's a script, the $300 will disappear instantly. But if it's manual, it's unlikely that someone could manually xfer that at a Starbucks counter w/o getting questioned.

Confirmations (max was $100 at a time):

There were three different security exploits. The first was rapping with a mallet to compress the springs and release the pins (similar concept to bumping).

But don't forget:

"In another bypass, they insert a wire into a silicon cover for an LED light that blinks red when the user enters an invalid code. That wire can ground a contact on the circuit board behind the light that triggers a function intended to allow the door to be opened with a remote button, bypassing all its security measures."

and

"A third attack allows an insider to open the back side of the lock and insert a wire that flips a microswitch intended as an override for power failures. That trick resets the lock’s software, tampering with its audit trail and allowing it to be reprogrammed with different codes. Bluzmanis demonstrated in a video that the more elaborate microswitch attack could be performed in under a minute."

Draining the card to the penny is not weird. If there is $10 on the card and your purchase is $11.50, $10 will be removed from the card and you have to pay the remaining $1.50 some other way.

Google need to take a page out of the video-game emulation world and introduce filters and anti-aliasing at higher magnifications.

For example you can play a Gameboy Advance game at native resolution (ie tiny!) on the emulator Visualboy Advance or scale the video output 2 or 3 times and after enabling all the above settings, the output is much nicer than the originals.

It doesn't take all that much processing power to do either (the difference in power between phones and tablets more than makes up for it - many times over I suspect)

Anyone care to chime in? (and possibly destroy my argument)

It's kind of frightening to imagine what exploits these locks have are that are quieter and less detectible than sticking it with a paperclip.

It's also funny to imagine the company's security experts who just can't seem to reproduce the stick-it-with-a-paperclip trick outside of a laboratory environment. I'm surprised guys that sharp let the hammer trick slip through!
That $49 sparked my walk over to Starbucks on the corner to buy one. (I put $10 on the card last night myself, hadn't used any.) By the time I was halfway there it was gone, and I decided to just buy it anyway, hoping it'd gotten filled but the feed hadn't updated yet -- and the barista gave it to me for free, unprovoked. I didn't even have to present the card.
Bear in mind that there is a fair amount of criticism from many economists on the book's analysis. It may be worthwhile to include those on your reading list as well. Here are just a few: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shock_Doctrine#Criticism
Jonathan, re: not hacked -- do you think people are really spending exactly $45 at Starbucks in one shot?

@michaelschade that's my point exactly: $45 was removed and $4 was left on the card: http://twitter.com/#!/jonathanscard/status/10035604975584460...

So someone either bought exactly $45 worth of Starbucks on the card within minutes of me putting $49 on it, or someone is hacking it.

Great article Jason. Interesting thoughts to ponder. Here is my perspective as a web developer.

What you are creating for $53B is not a couple of a million jobs but a couple of million "start-up ready" employees. Frankly these employees are not that valuable and would be out performed by the couple of million already start-up ready and much cheaper to hire college graduates that are going to have an increasingly hard time finding a good job out of college. Also, are there really that many entry level start up jobs that need to be filled? I think that people who currently have the skill set you are describing are already having a hard time finding a job. The "talent drought" is only for highly trained, highly talented, technical people that have years of practice, experience and professional training as well as the in built drive that lead them to get those skills in the first place. Even a fresh out of school completely green CS grad has usually dedicated thousands and thousands of hours mastering their technical skills before and during their academic career.

Anyways, I do think you bring up some really great points and I do think some kind of reform is needed. Using tax dollars for valuable high quality vocational education is a great idea. Figuring out how to structure that vocational education to be efficient and effective is another whole problem to figure out.
Yikes. I refer you to Tyler Cowen's review of Klein: http://www.nysun.com/arts/shock-jock/63867/

Some highlights: "Ms. Klein's rhetoric is ridiculous. For instance, she attaches import to the fact that the word 'tank' appears in the label 'think tank.'"

"What the reader will find is a series of fabricated claims, such as the suggestion that Margaret Thatcher created the Falkland Islands crisis to crush the unions."

"If nothing else, Ms. Klein's book provides an interesting litmus test as to who is willing to condemn its shoddy reasoning."
Thanks for the link. James is the son of famous economist and author, John Galbraith. A quote I pulled from his Wikipedia page:

"The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness."
Of course, what counts as "low level" depends on your perspective. There are plenty of programmers today who don't spend much time working on data structures or fundamental algorithms (e.g., quicksort). Most commonly used languages have a decent sort routine in the standard library(or at least one that isn't horrible). Unless it's so slow that it forms a bottleneck, there's no reason to treat it as anything other than a black box. The same is true of data structures. Today's languages come equipped with tons of collection types (queues, vectors, hash tables, sets...), interfaces to SQL (and noSQL) databases and key-value stores, and so on. The days when all you had were arrays with integer indices are past.
I set up some new PC laptops recently for a few non-technical friends. It's been a while since I've touched a new PC laptop so it was a bit of shock to be reminded of how much clunky, ugly, slow, proprietary junkware was larded on top of Windows. It's a bad soup cooked by too many chefs.

From what I've seen of recent Android UI's, vendors seem to be following the same MO, with the same poor, inconsistent results. If Google doesn't start pushing hard for stock Android on tablets they're going to lose this race.

If ever the online recruiting system gives you trouble but you think you ought to be able to apply, send your application to HR by email. (careers@fb.com should do it, I believe) And tell them about the bug too, so they can get it fixed.

Also, if you know somebody who works at Facebook, try to get them to refer you instead of applying directly. (Just email them your resume and ask if they can forward it.) This applies not just to Facebook but to most other big companies, especially popular employers that get a lot of resumes every week. Our recruiters try hard to evaluate all the resumes they receive, but if you guessed that they probably look more closely at ones that reach them by way of an internal referral, I think you guessed correctly.

I picked up a nasty bit of malware from an imbedded advertising on cnn.com and have since not only blocked them via adblock+, but I mark them as untrusted in NoScript. As a result, none of the links worked.

I will say, it's almost impressive that CmdrTaco (Rob Malda) ended up as #6. Having been unable to read the article the list almost implies people who have had serious influence in the past. I'd be honored to be on it (especially if, in 2006, I was named Mark Zuckerberg).

3 or 4 articles from/about Dan shipper and his product this week is starting become spam IMO. Maybe the problem with your product is that there's too much competition at better price points. While there are probably many people that will try it out, and continue to use it or even possibly in conjunction with his services, I'm getting a bad impression of Dshipper and his product for over spamming the community. Also your market is hard, because of services like dribbler and forrst designers may look to these communities first for feedback and as a programmer I've already created a script for my personal usage and imagine others have too. Look for other ways to spread the word of your service.

"Jonathan's Card is an experiment in social sharing of physical goods using digital currency on mobile phones."

What, exactly, is the hypothesis? While this _seems_ cool, I really don't understand what he's setting out to prove, that we don't already know: This will work until the number of people who abuse it grows to a certain point, after which everyone will loose faith, and nobody will contribute more funds.

Oh, I think I answered my own question. The lenders probably factor in inflation when they lend the US money. That would actually mean that the loans are in real money, and that there is no such thing as a nominal obligation.

Agreed. I tend to do the following to test any application that requires a high level of quality.

1. Unit tests - for regression testing and to enforce a clean design
2. Integration testing against real data - To check that there are no obvious bugs caused by bad interfaces or data
3. Smoke tests - To ensure that the core functionality works as expected

They also get updated in terms of frequency in that order. Smoke tests take the most effort to make, but they deliver the most value so long as they have supporting unit and integration tests which catch obvious errors.
There's an app for that (actually, a website):

What matters for readability is value contrast, not hue contrast. In fact, in extreme cases, too much hue contrast can make for less readability because different colors have different wavelengths which can cause them to be slightly out-of-focus on your retina:

Every company is different, so it is rather hard to make a statement about all industries everywhere. That said companies that make hardware tend to see software as easy, they typically will let hardware people do the software as well, or not respect their software developers. This is why printers usually have really shitty drivers. As far as what it like to work as a professional developer. Surely you have had a couple of group projects where you had to code something by now. Beef that up, with a much larger team and much larger time frame. As far as what you do at any of the companies you listed, just think about what they ship. You would take it from version X to version X+1, maybe launch a new product.

Follow-up, going to add money now but learning why for the modest bunch, this is genius. I spent a bout $5.50 USD to get a drink for my girlfriend and I. When I go to the Starbucks reload a card site, I have to put at least $10.00 USD on the card. What's more is this made me really think about the idea of Google Wallet and any other phone-based credit card apps. In theory, I could take a screenshot of anyone's card and just mail it to myself. Does anyone know if there's plans to randomize barcodes/symbols to prevent things like this? This really just brightened up my Sunday evening.

I'm intrigued, but one question: Who's Steve?
Aside from the article itself, I am confused by the title. Are they meaning to call themselves a "design legend"?

I have not heard of them. Also, their blog site layout is quite flawed. The text hits the left edge of the page at 1000px width. First, text should never hit the left side of the page. There should absolutely always be a margin of no less than 8px, but nearly always should be at least 0.25". Second, 1024px is more than half of a 1920px width screen and the site only looks proper at about 1280px width. This is too wide.

We (people using computers) have been forced into wide screen aspect ratio displays because of the need to show movies. Fine, that is the way it is. But this means that common use is to have two pages or tasks side by side. Full screen for tasks of reading produces lines that are much too wide to scan properly. Web pages should not require more than 960px for basic reading. The 960px includes the window scroll bars and frame if present, so the actual page text should be slightly smaller.

Do not design windows that expect 1024px or 1280px width, and do not design windows where the text crashes into the page edge when resized. Both these are very amateur hour mistakes. Therefore, it is inconceivable that the people at this firm are "design legends".
The problem with that is, as we've seen (and are seeing), it's trivial to manufacture an 'emergency' or a 'crisis' on demand, whenever it's convenient.
