Agreed. To say that everything depends on consciousness is somewhat naive. In fact, the things we are "conscious" of are not always accurate representations, whatever that may mean. For example:

"People commonly misreport their own experiences. We don’t even have good insight into how much fun we are having or even whether an experience we are having at a particular moment in time is pleasant or unpleasant. Some examples (among many): being paid a paltry sum to tell another person that the boring and repetitive task in which we have just engaged is fun leads us to think we enjoyed it (Festinger & Carlsmith 1959); observing that we have chosen one item from a range that seems identical leads us to conclude that we have detected differences between them (Nisbett & Wilson 1977). Subjects who experienced arousal caused by an injection of norepinepherine reporting being happy or angry, depending on what cues they’re given (Schachter and Singer 1962), while subjects who exercise prior to encountering an opposite sex confederate of the experimenters rated the confederate more attractive (Allen 1989). We are systematically bad at assessing the causes and the precise character of our experiences. Moreover, there is evidence that our intuitive physics is unreliable. Naïve subjects assume, falsely, that an object that is travelling through a curved tube will continue to follow a curved trajectory when it leaves the tube (McCloskey et al. 1980)."

Hum. This remind me of the case of a big delivery company a few years ago in France. Basically, all delivery guys were supposedly "freelance contractors" with the big company. Of course all wasn't so rosy in real life because it was just an astute scheme to circumvent employment laws such as maximum hours of work per day or week, minimum wages, unions, etc.

The delivery guys sued en masse and got their contract re-qualified as salaried employees proper.

I'd be wary that actually the "freelance revolution" may be another big jump backwards to the 19th century for workers marketed as a "freedom gain".
How to Lose Thigh Fat in 2 Weeks
Even if business plans may seem obsolete, its a nice way to get your thoughts and plans sorted, written down in a well reading way. It probably helps you as the founder the most and might also give you new ideas because you suddenly analyze so many competetiors and the market in a deep way.
I have written a business plan and while probably nobody read it (just guessing), its still always a good thing to be able to send someone a well thought out 30 page plan when requested. (we got funded)

Its not that much about the businessplan itself as about the fact "ah ok, so these guys have actually thought this through and are serious about it"

Of course you should still have a good 10-15 slide presentation about the most important stuff, because people will actually look at that ;)

I can't find any historical instances of someone being criminally prosecuted for a quiet-period violation. It appears the usual enforcement is to force the IPO to be delayed after resetting the quiet-period clock.

Presumably there is some level of shenanigans that'd become criminal, if it violated some other bit of securities law (like deliberately manipulating the stock price, or making knowingly false statements to the SEC), but my non-lawyerly searching doesn't turn up any examples.

One of the big aspects that often gets overlooked in any discussion about freelancing is the notion of having a cash cushion. One of the comments on the article stressed that we may be moving towards a new culture of frugality/austerity as a byproduct of more people needing to keep cash reserves to deal with the up/down cycle of freelance income. It's a transition that took me a bit of time to make personally, but I'm glad I did it.

off-topic a bit: What's a little odd to me is how much small/medium businesses rely on credit for payroll. I've got a friend at a small business, and they have a credit line they use for payroll every 2 weeks, and they've been worried that their credit line would be reduced, meaning they'd have to lay people off. I've asked around and some other companies do this as well. Is this practice really widespread, or just the few I spoke with?

Thanks a lot for your concerned post and suggestions. Their point was it would be more convenient for me if I take an increased salary after the six months instead of equity. They were also very willing to listen to alternative suggestions I might have.
Also I do the think the people are pretty honest. They called up to clarify that it isnt the case that equity is not an option, its just that cash would be more convenient for me.
I do believe that they are good and honest people and if I have implied otherwise in my post, Its a mistake on my part.

And I agree with simplegeek, selenium should be fine in your case. Although can't imagine how you could test animations... :)
It is a worrying sign if they pay wages on credit. Payment to small businesses is erratic generally, and it gives no scope to grow. When I was in this type of business we kept 3 months costs in the bank at all times.
I fundamentally agree with this article. I think there are two factors at play here 1) Modularization of everything we purchase. Freelancers/contractors give business flexibility to scale up or down as they need to. 2) A continuation of the erosion of loyalty to a corporation.

Our parents generation spent 10-20 years at a job. Our generation spends 2-5 max.

In my view this is great especially for the US because it means that more people get paid for the value they create as opposed to wasting a company's time/money by clocking in from 9-5 and just waiting for Friday to roll around.

Saying correlation is not causation without adding anything else amounts to nothing, it's just a phrase.

From HN user apl, because he said it better than I could:

This certainly is a true and tested adage, but I've got a feeling that the correlation-backlash has gone too far in the other direction. Don't just repeat it without getting it. If substantiated through proposal of a suitable mechanism, correlation is solid corroboration of a causality-claim.
More precisely, correlation most definitely never implies absence of causation.
"Sitting makes you 40% likelier to die within 15 years than someone who sits less than 3"

Same idea with the quote on heart disease - sure, but what was the base percentage of dying within 15 years that they based the 40% off of? If that's at all high, then I'd be worried.

I'm still all for quick breaks of exercise to refresh the mind, though.

I bought a desk-sized Lack table from Ikea, and took it to Home Depot to saw the legs down, so that it added around 12" to my standard desk. Now I can stand while working. Assuming you have an external monitor / keyboard / mouse, the only thing left is to put your monitor on some books to get it closer to eye level. I find this is ergonomically very comfortable if the desk & monitor are both at optimal heights.

Total cost: $40.

If you're in the Ruby world, Capybara is a great addon to Cucumber and RSpec. It solves the animation problem by adding a timeout to wait for elements in the DOM. A step like this:

When I click the link that does a 4000ms animation
I should see "#mydiv"

Capybara will wait for #mydiv to appear for some timeout period (30 seconds). If it appears before then, it keeps going.

This way you can have complex animation and still assert final state of the page. Capybara allows Selenium, headless WebKit, and other JS drivers. It's one line to swap.

If you aren't in the Ruby world, you might at least steal some ideas from that lib to make your Selenium tests better.

Also, you might drop the folks at Pivotal Tracker an email. They have a fat one-page JS-heavy product, and I bet you anything they automatically test it. They might have cool stuff to share.

Anyone else find Scala representation conspicuous by its absence at the JVM lang summit this year?

From what I can see there's been no talk relating to Scala and the challenges it has overcome and/or faces regarding its use of the JVM. Maybe, for now it has all been said and Scala is happily ploughing forward.

I read recently a quote from Martin Odersky [1] claiming that the virtual extensions methods (aka public defender methods) proposed by Brian Goetz et al comes tantalisingly close (but not quite) to allowing Scala to drop some of its class bloat from its libraries and runtime. It'd be great to see some Scala guys doing some talks on this kind of thing. Perhaps they're all busy covering the other conferences right now.

Similarly I don't see any representatives in the Project lambda mailing list speaking up for Scala's interests with regards to the changes to the JVM that need to be decided for Java 8. I'd hate to see comments and suggestions being made towards accommodating Scala but being rejected since its too late in the game w.r.t. Java 8. From what I can see opportunities to affect the JVM's evolution don't happen often.

I'm sure Martin et al are doing what they feel is necessary, it would be nice to be able follow the progress somewhere though!

You misunderstand engineering. Everything evolves, especially technology. The first airplane didn't spring forth from the minds of the Wright brothers fully formed. The technology evolved in spurts and hiccups, more at first but still a little up to the present day. The problems aren't even known beforehand, let alone the solutions. And even when you think you've got it figured out, requirements change. Good engineering IS evolution.

Its really pretty unbelievable that life takes such turns.These happen every once in a while. Steve Jobs says - you cant connect the dots looking forward,it is only possible looking backwards.What if a person just believed in his destiny and went off with only one belief that dots are going to connect for sure someday, and then they don't? Many must have tried to connect the dots but were unsuccessful.
For all the entrepreneurs in the world,I think,it all boils down to this: 'Is it worth it, if the dots don't connect? Will they not complain that they should've taken the safe route?'. If the answer for both the questions are 'yes' for once,never think again - its only going to waste valuable time.

Anyone have any experience with using Gondor versus e.g. Linode?

I printed out this infographic and taped it to my office door shortly after switching to a standing desk. Two of my coworkers have subsequently switched as well, and several more are interested.

I didn't want to spend a bunch of money on a standing desk, so I built a platform to sit on top of my current desk from materials from Home Depot. It uses pre-finished shelving and PVC pipe, and doesn't require any tools besides a drill and hack saw. Costs about $45 in materials and an hour or os in labor. Photo: http://cl.ly/1h282P2Q2N2a0i0a3u0K

I built a second version of this with deck railing legs and metal connectors (got access to a miter box so I could use wood instead of PVC). This also costs $45 in materials, about 2 hours in labor, and is much more sturdy. Photo: http://cl.ly/1J263Z3l223o0o1A1X0t

I've been meaning to write up some instructions and a materials list, but haven't had time yet. In the meantime, if anyone wants more info about how to build these, I'd be happy to help -- contact me on twitter or shortmail at @masnick.
Capybara works pretty well for any web based front end. I'm using it to do some basic automation of websites (scheduling tasks and the like).

The Taj Mahal: A Wonderful Creation
I watched most of Charles Nutter's JRuby and invoke dynamic talk. It is a good reminder for Java/Clojure/JRuby/Jython/Scala developers just how important the platform is. This was driven home for me this week because I spent a lot of time helping a customer deal with some nasty GC problems.

A bit off topic, but: JVM developers don't need to know the following information cold, but we should be familiar enough with it to know where to look when problems occur:

Ah yes, the "infographic" SEO trick. I guess it's better than writing anti-Linux or anti-Apple blog posts.
To some extent, though we've been less active in doing anything about it. In part we tend to be less keen than Europeans on having the government regulate these kinds of things, but the various private-sector and non-profit initiatives (like TRUSTe) that are supposed to fill the gap have been fairly ineffectual.
My limited understanding (after some quick research, and advance warning: reading rule 134 is no help here) is that this is not correct, and that violating the "quiet period" (which is sort of fuzzy compared to other SEC rules) is, like several other rules violations, more of a civil-type issue; fines, recission sales resulting from violation, delay of IPO, lawsuits.
"In my state, Pennsylvania, it is my understanding that the homeless are not allowed to drive or even to receive mail, because a mailbox cannot be used for the address on their driver's license"

I'm certain you're wrong about both of these assertions, in PA or any other US state. There are federal laws at play, and both of these limitations on homeless people would definitely cross the bounds of federal law. Also, they would be incredibly evil; pretty much designed to keep homeless people homeless.

Mail can be received, by anyone, via general delivery at any post office main branch in a city, and often several other branches, if the city is large. Mail is damned near a constitutional right (federal mail service is one of the few services explicitly permitted by the constitution).

A drivers license is somewhat trickier, since some states do require one to have a "permanent residence" within the state, and don't allow general delivery for that purpose, and some don't even allow PO boxes, though most do. But, Mailboxes Etc. and the like are generally acceptable for this purpose (I use a mail forwarding service for my mailing address for all legal correspondence, including drivers license and taxes). Incoming mail is also one of the services that homeless shelters sometimes provide to their clients, as part of the process of helping them out of homelessness (if you can't drive or get mail in a shithole like rural Pennsylvania, you're SOL when it comes to finding a job, and getting your life back in order). I'll also mention that the federal government, and many states, consider a description of your boat or motorhome as an acceptable "permanent residence" address, as long as a mailing address is also provided.

"Therefore, unless the rules are different in his state, he is not allowed to drive, and if that's the case, then: How can he be a lawful resident?"

So, you reckon I'm an outlaw, flaunting convention and decency?

My residence state is Texas. One of the reasons for that is that it has very relaxed rules about residency, making it more convenient than many states...a forwarding address works fine for all government purposes in Texas. Most states actually want to claim you as a resident, rather than trying to prevent you from becoming one. California, for example, is still trying to convince me to pay income taxes there, even though I haven't been back in a year.

If you google "rv full-timer domicile state" you'll find tons of discussion of the best states for full-timers (South Dakota, Texas, Florida, Wyoming), based on various taxes, convenience and costs of renewing and maintaining licenses and registrations, insurance costs, etc. I chose Texas because I lived there for seventeen years, and I spend two or three months a year there (more than any other state), so Texas is the devil I know and it's ethically probably the one I should be voting in and paying taxes in. But, I considered all the others, and if Texas proves to be ornery for any reason, I won't hesitate to "move" to South Dakota or Florida.
The end of SlideScreen
One possibly relevant consideration: people who are elderly and/or infirm often have to sit around a lot more, because they are physically incapable of moving around as much. This may (or may not) account for some of the increased likelihood of death and other negative health effects.

Another possibly relevant consideration: having an active job means moving around and doing something. Switching from sitting at a desk for hours to standing at a desk for hours may prove to be no more beneficial, because the critical component may be the moving around part.

Not trying to be a parade rainer, but I'm always cautious about supposed breakthrough health trends, because there are many complicated interacting factors that make up someone's overall lifestyle and health factors. In the past, isolating a single factor (oat bran!) has rarely proved to be a panacea.
