"Want" button is interesting. If you are an advertiser, you can target users on Facebook who has an intent to purchase a specific product.
Quite a few of these were check-in/advert type applications. I can't make myself even try these things, like foursquare facebook places, etc. I just don't like the idea. Anyone I want to know where I am, knows where I am. Adding lots of ways to sell me stuff after I check-in, or just straight up following me around tracking live for marketing purposes, solidifies my resolve to not use these things.
We're about 50/50 with android/iPhone... It used to be everyone wanted iPhone and then eventually some folks would want android... now it's an even break. I think it's just a sign of the times, when you ship more handsets, more folks want software for the platform.
Quite possibly, but this is about BEAST and the ability of loading malicious Javascript. Performing the feat of code injection on a non-browser application is something completely different. If something is injecting code into your native application or throwing known plaintext into your socket streams then you've already been compromised.

"Entering so little text on a tablet is definitely not a pain for me"

There's a flaw in your argument right there. The fact that you specifically suggest that entering a little bit of text isn't a problem implies that entering large amounts of text is.

Physicians live in these systems. If your a developer, consider it analogous to an IDE. Are you ready to switch to full-time coding on a tablet?

I think tablets are awesome, the iPad especially... I also think Dr Chrono appears to be doing some really cool things in their re-thinking of the EMR for tablet computing.. but I think there's a big difference between you and I being happy with the iPad for our email, and physicians using it to document their EMRs (at least by typing). Lots of work to do.

Full disclosure: I build EMR/EHR systems, and have for quite a while.

Well the whole article seemed silly after he said this:

"First of all, you can't use heap - not when you're in orbit. Why? Because quite simply, if you do use heap, and malloc returns null... what do you do? You can't ask the user for help"

This is the OOM problem and is highly dependent upon the kernel you are using. Not bringing the kernel into the discussion means that the discussion is just silly. There is not much of a point to putting the heap in the stack as you said, but hey like the author we are just getting some ideas out there without bringing up the kernel.
It's unrealistic in the developed world and there are actually reasons for preserving privacy besides something so extreme like the example you painted. Reasons besides simply for hiding what the gov't thinks is wrongdoing.

We did something very similar to hire our designer with Fanvibe (now we're with beRecruited.com) - we ran a normal job post, then asked everyone to submit a rough mock-up of a mobile site design for Fanvibe in addition to their resume and portfolio. We quickly got to three top options out of 100, interviewed those 3 and hired a designer who is amazing and still works with us. I'm a big believer in "real-world" challenges before hiring someone

EDIT: We likely would have not even interviewed our top 3 choices based on resume / portfolio alone

This is pretty much my take on Richard Dawkins.

I remember when "The God Delusion" was a hot topic hearing groups of otherwise intelligent people hi-fiving each other over how smart they were because they were atheists, & how COMPLETELY WRONG religion of any kind is.

Maybe I just got all my anti-religious rage out of my system early in my life, but observing people carry on like the very fundamentalists they claim to despise (but it's ok, cuz we're secular!) is very disappointing.
I don't see the connection between patriotism and taxes. I could see an angle where explicitly dodging taxes could be unpatriotic. But patriotism isn't something you buy. It just doesn't work like that.

I've listened to Richard Dawkins debate live several times. In no instance have I ever heard him being anything other than perfectly gracious, even when being repeatedly personally attacked, so I'm having a hard time understanding your criticism of him - which amounts to calling him names.
I get the feeling that researchers and manufacturers always wait until we're close to falling short of Moore's Law to come out with advances like this. I guess they can push quantum computing back a few more years now.

I agree. WebMD has probably been a boom for drug companies as hypochondriacs (and wannabe hypochondriacs) research new ways for drug companies to take their money. I've met sane people who are positive they've got the latest bug or some rare disease.

I know that there's some dangerous ideas put out there by fundamentalists, but for the most part, if they stick to themselves and are generally good people who don't interfere with others ...

If only.

When Dawkins et al get their own worldwide television networks and suitably sized fund-raising and political infrastructure then I'll entertain the idea that atheist advocates are anywhere near like that of the fundamentalists.

This looks like a great piece of work, but I'd much prefer a textual format that I can read anywhere and refer back to later. A 3 hour video is rather unwieldy for me, and I can't grep it!

Do you have any plans to release the same material in blog or ebook format? If it's as comprehensive as the video TOC suggests, I'd happily pay for it.
It may be insensitive to be so blunt about it, but I think the longer you're an atheist the harder it gets to keep a "live and let live" attitude.

I liken it to having a friend who truly, sincerely believes in Santa Claus. At first, you might just laugh it off as a harmless quirk. But as time goes on, and every day you're hearing about Santa Claus this and he won't stop going off about whether or not he's on the Naughty or Nice list this year, you might start to tactfully point out some of the flaws in his belief.

How fast would Santa need to go to cover the entire world in one night? Why has there never been a photograph of Santa? What about people who don't celebrate Christmas?

Your friend laughs, and explains that you need to have more faith in Santa Claus, and that if you don't watch out you're going to be on the Naughty List. And now every time you go out for a drink your friend is telling people about Santa Claus, and he's posting Santa-related links on your Facebook wall. How long can you put up with that before you just snap?

They can do similar by sharing a SSL(only on CBC?) socket and piping known plain-text into it. This doesn't mean TLS itself is broken.
If I recall correctly, that was in the sense of a comment being factually incorrect, or so far off-base as to represent a damaging assertion. That is, the need to signal to a reader would outweigh the desire to avoid downvoting based on disagreement.

In this case, civilian presented interesting points regarding independent accomplishment and his own feelings of disenfranchisement. I can't come up with a very good explanation for a downvote.

Thoughts on the Jive Registration Statement (S-1) and IPO
Why don't you ask Rebecca Watson (co-host of The Skeptics Guide To The Universe) what she thinks of him?

There was an incident at a recent skeptics conference where Watson was accosted & hit on by an attendee in the small hours of the morning while riding an elevator.

She used her podcast & blog to describe the incident, hinting that maybe hitting on an un-escorted female in the middle of the night while the two of you are stuck in an elevator together is a good way to make said female feel vulnerable & uncomfortable.

Well, Dawkins wen't on to have a foaming at the mouth tirade about how she was carrying on like a hypothetical hysterical muslim woman who was all offended by being offered a coffee and that she should just toughen up.

He was rightly slammed by many for this, but the guy sounds like a dick to me.

[edit: in response to reply]
I understand his message. I also think he was "foaming at the mouth" and a "dick". I am an atheist. I am also not so besotted by the cult of personality that I can't see past Dawkins contributions & still think he's a dick.

[edit edit: after some thought]
On reflection calling Richard Dawkins a "dick" is not the right thing to do. Replace "a dick" with "an insensitive man".
Being a religious fundamentalist and good person who does not interfere with others, well those don't go together, at all.
If you honestly think that is possible, you should seriously rethink your stance.

Whether you tolerate them or not is meaningless, they cannot tolerate you, because of what you don't believe in.

You might wanna learn to recognize an enemy when you see one.

Build and Analyze: Mythical Metro
I don't know if anyone here watches Suits. But basically the reason the Harvey character wins is the reason Wall Street has not been held accountable. A lot of people pay a lot of money and there is enough ingenious strategizing to protect assets for large Wall Street firms (and enough tangential interests among any large American investor), that it makes complete sense that Wall Street has not and will probably not be held accountable.

However, if you truly want to fix a problem like that, you have to out-strategize back. Which doesn't necessarily mean legal measures. E.g., no need to occupy Wall Street, as long as the lessons are learned and it's replaced by something better.

> I agree that this is a big thing, but Pixar isn't just, or even mostly, iteration, it's the folks doing the iteration.

It should be self-evident that you need very good filmmakers making films -- no technology "makes" a film. But it should also be obvious that Pixar doesn't have a monopoly on "good" filmmakers. What they do have is a monopoly on iteration, due to their use of computerized-animation. Fohr ends that monopoly.

I think we probably agree here. I would further argue that Pixar's people might not be as successful on the live-action side, since the ability to iterate is gone. As exhibit A, I would present Andrew Stanton and John Carter (of Mars), which does not look promising at all. (This is not true for all Pixar directors though, I think Brad Bird will do very well with MI4.)

To be clear: Andrew Stanton is a very good director...when he can iterate, like he did on Finding Nemo and Wall-E. Take away that ability and he struggles, as would be expected. It takes a different kind of skill to make a good film when you can only shoot final footage -- skill Andrew hasn't yet developed to my knowledge.

Live-action filmmaking has more in common with dancing than it does with drawing, and animation is not at all like dancing -- there's no real-time performance aspect to animation like there is with live-action. Expertise in one type of film production does not imply expertise in the other.
Nope, our main advantage is that we can be run in a user's own home. We use ordinary webcams, so if you have a laptop or webcam attached to a desktop we can track you.
You could liken it to that, but you're using a logical fallacy (it's both a straw man and a reductio ad ridiculum).
From GazeHawk.com "GazeHawk provides webcam eye tracking services. Our patent-pending technology allows us to runeye tracking studies in users own homes at a fraction of the cost of traditional custom hardware."

I must preface this comment with a personal note: Dr. Dawkins is the reason I understand biology, evolution, and all living things. I have read all of his books on evolution, including The Selfish Gene, The Extended Phenotype, and many others.

This being said, I have always been appalled by Dawkins' deeply ironic crusade against religion. The simplest explanation for the widespread phenomenon of organized religion is best described by none other than Dawkins himself: Religion is a vestigial extended phenotype.

Dawkins popularized the idea of an extended phenotype. This theory postulates that the phenotypic effects of genes are not restricted to a single organism. In effect, certain gene expressions could result in behaviours which affected the said gene's rate of survival. This is a profound theory, because it posits a very strong evolutionary foundation for human socialization and behaviour. As discussed in Robert Wright's "A Moral Animal", and Matt Ridley's "The Red Queen", among many other works, recent evidence has made Dawkins' extended phenotype theory extremely plausible.

Thus, if we are to analyse religion from the view that it is a set of behaviours which maximizes a set of genes' reproductive success, everything begins making a great deal of sense. Paradoxically, if Dawkins used his his own theories to explain the phenotypic phenomenon that is organized religion, he'd have the vast support network of evolutionary scientists around the globe who would provide endless empirical examples[1] to validate his theory. Yet, Dawkins continues to treat religion as a philosophy, and attempts to tackle it philosophically. As many philosophers have pointed out, this is not Dawkins' strong point and he comes off sounding like an extremely misinformed amateur at best, and an inflammatory pundit at worst.

Furthermore, it is the scientific explanation of religion which is likely to be the most useful and profound, and as Ridley, Wright, and many others have demonstrated, what we can learn from these insights are far more pertinent to the human condition than Dawkins' misplaced philosophical crusade.

I sincerely hope Dr. Dawkins sees the unbelievable irony in his approach, and addresses it promptly. As one of the most popular scientists in media today, he could reverse a great deal of enmity that various religious groups have developed towards scientists and the scientific community. Scientific illiteracy is the greatest enemy of our time, and I do believe Dawkins is making the issue much worse by inflaming the public with his misinformed rhetoric.

Science has explained every natural phenomena known to man, and its explanatory power is only growing as we gather new empirical evidence. There is a growing body of research which demonstrates that all human behaviour is guided by a deep evolutionary purpose. This is especially true of religious behaviours which are widespread and have severe fitness costs. Religious behaviours are thus best understood as a vestigial extended phenotype, and not as an ontological philosophy.

I agree. When I set out I did not expect it to be so long(!) but I'm a bit of a barge through and release kinda guy ;-)

What I'll be doing is a series of posts on Ruby Inside which cover much (but not all) of the material on a topic by topic basis and then, eventually, include an e-book version for free with the screencast product (for existing customers too). So in the long term, yes.

However, in the interim.. I've put up the notes I used to make the screencast as a text file at http://rubyinside.com/19.txt - it's also pretty unwieldy but is text, at least ;-)

I see. The parent characterized Dawkins as "arrogant" and "pig headed", and now you've characterized him as "foaming at the mouth", on a "tirade" and a "dick". You've also misstated his argument.

We get it. Many hate his message and because they can't argue coherently against that message, they mostly just call him names.
