Steve Jobs Transcript of his entire inspirational speech at Stanford University
It seems like the statement of (1) is an admission that we aren't accurate at evaluating whether someone is "healthy" or "not healthy" to an acceptable level yet, since I would include precursors to cancer in my "healthy" classification.

It's hard to say who deserves the most credit. But Steve Jobs was the one pushing to push stuff past the competitors. I bet Samsung, ASUS, and the likes have or could hire equally skilled designers. But the people on top want to cut costs, so they don't opt for the milled aluminium case, or buying the companies they need to secure technology. Steve was the one pushing those envelopes, allowing them the resources to accomplish those goals. You give any designer, engineer a goal with very little limits and its amazing what they can come up with. But its really important that someone is there to give them that.
Check out lulu.com, sounds like others use them in a similar fashion.

Why is packaging covered by patents instead of trademark or copyright? It's not like a slight alteration to the inserts in a box is unique innovation. I honestly don't understand how patents are the right thing to apply to packaging. What am I missing?

OP's sentiments might mean well, but this is a pointless article.

The entirety of this interaction boils down to two words from Steve said out of politeness, revealing nothing personal, nothing surprising, nothing humorous, nothing charismatic about a man that possesses all those qualities.

This simple post is much better:

Observe a moment of silence and reflect. We all lost a great man whose vision changed everything - I just smile a little at the comments from people who say Steve Jobs didn't affect their life, because they don't carry an iPhone, or because they are a DIY guy, or because anything else. You didn't have to own an iDevice to have been touched by Steve Jobs - you lived in a world in which he tinted every facet of technology with his genius.

Truly my hero of heroes.

Any discussion of the technology of someone who is running a small business is certainly on-topic.

So, what about using exponential smoothing or 95% peak estimation to get a better "current" spending rate? There is also the possibility to do some data mining on the actual usage (assuming you have collect that data and are willing to use it in aggregate to improve service) — i.e. customers who spend like you do and have a balance like yours usually run out of money after x days.

Another option I just thought of: try and estimate usage several different ways, and then check the variance — if its low, then issue an alert. I wouldn't be surprised if there is some research on how to do this, so it should be cook-up-able relatively easily if its a feature you want to add.

Not necessarily. Bill Gates didn't just start giving money away, he started spending it in a fairly controlled manner, trying to accomplish well defined goals.

A typical patient has no idea about the precise nature of the manipulations that are to be used - location, intensity, type of manipulation and so on. For chiropractic to be valid they need to be able to prescribe a specific treatment to a specific condition for a patient. If the prescription is valid then if the patient undergoes a different manipulation it shouldn't have the same effect. If it does then the idea that it was that specific manipulation is potentially invalidated.

See: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10519559

You could actually even double blind it by having one chiropractor diagnose and prescribe treatment, and then have that treatment randomised so it was either done as prescribed or substituted for a sham treatment. That treatment would then be administered by a second chiropractor who was unaware of the diagnosis and not allowed to speak to the patient about it or modify the treatment.

Even if that was too complex or otherwise flawed a properly constructed single blinded RCT trial is still valid evidence, even if it's not the best of the best.

No, but I have read the results from a number of reasonable sized peer reviewed trials on it which show that whatever my personal experience might be, the most likely reason for any benefit I might experience (for any condition other than lower back pain for which there is a certain amount of evidence that chiropractic is effective) is the placebo effect.

Well, it is only pushed by RedHat (hence the adoption by Fedora only) so progress is slow. But steady I'd say. There are patch for a lots of server and SystemTap seems compatible with Dtrace entrypoints so I guess the thing now is to document it better.

A "state of the Union" document and good documentation and example would indeed be very welcome. It's a very promising and underestimated piece of technology. I'm really enthusiastic about it but I didn't take the time to study it yet.

> Death is not good; it is very bad. If given the opportunity to live "forever" (and not age), you'd take it. In a world without death, nobody would think introducing it was a good idea. But because we currently can't do anything about it, we try to tell ourselves it's a good thing.

That doesn't explain self-sacrifice. And, honestly, I wouldn't want to live an "eternal" life when everybody I love and know around me would be dead at some point or another. Maybe this is also why I've come to see Christianity's "promise" of eternal life as ridiculous and almost scary at times.

As Seneca used to say, it doesn't matter how long you live, it's what you do with your life that matters (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Brevitate_Vitae_%28Seneca%29)

"""
The philosopher brings up many Stoic principles on the nature of time, namely that men waste much of it in meaningless pursuits. According to the essay, nature gives man enough time to do what is really important and the individual must allot it properly.
"""

And to finish in an even more pathetic tone, I don't think we should strive for living an eternal life, but rather do what Julius Caesar did when he realized that Alexander had already conquered the world by 30: weep, and then try to conquer the world by ourselves.

I know I am on the wrong website with this but once you look just a bit outside of silicon valley and a bit outside of the (comparatively very) rich western world, you start to realize: there are just very very few people who were or are ever as blessed as to not only be able to follow their heart but become so influential and important by doing so.

This makes me just more sad. Or maybe I am just at a bad place in life.

Evolution is a vehicle for genes, bodies are just incidental to this process. We are, however, more than bodies that breed genes. We are persons, we have minds. We have developed into something that goes beyond the substrate from which we came and we owe it to ourselves to some day outgrow the need for that substrate completely.

Imagine what our minds could do if they had centuries to develop. Imagine what our culture could be like if we didn't have to start from scratch every 70 years. Imagine a society without loss and scarcity. I know it's not an idea that appeals to a lot of people, but it does appeal to me. And I do believe it's an inevitable next step. In the end, it doesn't matter what most people think of this idea. It's not a development that the majority of humanity has to sign off on - we'll just move along without you, no harm done.

He died 30 times.

My comment tastes aweful doesnt it? Just like 30 fucking posts on the same thing.
I don't know enough about patents, but Jobs was definitely obsessed with the "out of the box" experience and wanted Apple products to be unlike anyone else's products in that regard.

I remember having a 12" Powerbook delivered to my Windows-using office - everyone gathered round to look at the packaging - and then were amazed when the computer was up and running, and connected to the internet, within two minutes.

Tell HN: Seriously We Get It
Hey guys, I understand how amazing of a person Steve Jobs was -- visionary, genius, marketing prodigy, etc... I will never discount the amount of influence he has had on every one of us (and the entire world for that matter). I personally was affected by a sadness I never expected when I heard the news.

HOWEVER, I find it ridiculous that literally every single story on the HN front page is about Steve dying. I have been one to frequently tell people to keep on topic and chill out in the past, but this just seems ridiculous. Steve has died. It is a sad time for everyone (especially people who ACTUALLY knew him, like his family). As much as I would like to honor his memory, I really disagree with having a separate story for every single person who has anything to say about him. I don't give a shit about 99% of what people have to say about his death and it really shouldn't be clogging up our news feed. Let's consolidate the Jobs posts and clear our feed of the 900 stories stating the EXACT SAME THING.

Jobs was undeniably a giant. Cringely seems to be a midget who happened to find a megaphone.

Steve Jobs stories on folklore.org
Thanks, I'll try that out
I've become convinced that cancer is among the elite series of diseases that are,
in many cases, just how people die, meaning that perhaps in many instances the medical
term for "dying" is "cancer".

Our bodies are machines. Biological and very complex machines, but still they follow a system of rules and their functions are defined in machine code. Cancer is a certain type of crash that can befall these machines, literally. As the cells are executing their DNA code, an error creeps into its daily routine.

There is a variety of reasons those bugs can come up: for example, the codebase could have a pre-existing weakness that gets triggered in certain conditions. Sometimes, the code was copied incorrectly from one cell to its successor. Sometimes an external influence corrupts the local copy of the code.

When cellular code develops a bug, there are a number of things that can happen: sometimes, the cell just becomes bad or inefficient at what it does. Sometimes it shuts down. Sometimes, nothing happens. And other times the bug introduces an infinite loop in the cell's replication subroutines - that's cancer.

You see, cancer is neither a medical catchall term nor is it an inevitability of life. In fact, our immune system regularly attacks crashed cells, including cancer cells. If it didn't we'd all be having cancer at a very early age. However, sometimes due to the nature of the bug, the immune system is incapable of recognizing that a cell has crashed. That's when cancer breaks out, because those cells replicate and the immune system doesn't stop them. This is also precisely the point where the most promising treatment options are. We are just now figuring out how to teach the immune system to recognize those crashed cells and once we advance this research enough, we'll have the capability to simply correct these flaws in our systems and get rid of the bug completely.

I once read the supposed confession of a medical research assistant that "cancer"
as a general thing is not curable but they keep the myth alive because "cure cancer"
makes a really decent slogan.

For your sake, I really hope you don't believe this nonsense. It's right up there with "the Earth is flat" and "God did it".

EDIT: After re-reading my post, I realize that it could be perceived as condescending - but I assure you, it's not supposed to be. It's just intended as a short programmer-friendly introduction into the nature of cancer.

Wait another 15 hours, then submit every article on Erlang you can find.

Edit: I don't know if the downvotes were for perceived flippancy or what, so I shall be more explicit.

The official announcement that Steve Jobs had died was posted about 9 hours ago. 9 + 15 = 24; I am advocating giving people who wish to mourn, remember and reflect on Steve Jobs a day to do so. He was an exceptional figure: an exceptional reaction to his death is appropriate.

And then we can move on.

(Why Erlang? Because it's traditional (twice = traditional, albeit not exactly the same circumstances) and because I've not seen any articles about Erlang posted here recently.)

I'm inclined to agree.

I don't think there's anything wrong with the death of someone like Steve Jobs taking up room on the front page of HackerNews. Look at the the current top 5 stories:

Steve Jobs has passed away. (apple.com): 2393 points, 282 comments

Apple RIP Logo design (jmak.tumblr.com): 265 points, 16 comments

Steve Jobs has died (marketwatch.com): 776 points, 59 comments

The Steve Jobs I Knew (allthingsd.com): 343 points, 8 comments

President Obama on Steve Jobs (whitehouse.gov): 361 points, 38 comments

Completely reasonable. Such attention for someone who was important to the tech industry as he was is precisely what I'd expect from a place like HN. A bit high on the points : comments ratio, but this isn't exactly a story that will lead to long drawn-out flame war (at least I'd hope not), so that too is understandable.

But it steadily declines from there: at the time of writing, the remaining 25 Jobs stories on the front page have 116 comments combined. If no one has anything interesting to say about these stories, then it doesn't seem like a far-fetched interpretation that there's nothing interesting in them, either, so why are they being upvoted?
When you know that you had success
> (especially people who ACTUALLY knew him, like his family)

To me this, including the capitalization, is very telling. You don't seem to understand where we're coming from. It's quite common for people to mourn the deaths of famous people whom we've never met, and whom have affected us in some way.

You can certainly upvote interesting unrelated posts that you find. But this isn't just HN. Tech bloggers wrote fewer articles that are unrelated to Steve Jobs tonight than they normally would have.
With respect to Mr Jobs, it's nice to finally see a story up that isn't about him.
This madness has to stop.

How To Migrate Mailboxes Between IMAP Servers With imapcopy
This is an appropriate topic for HN, since it has to do with roles & responsibilities w/i a company. So, let's try to correct some misconceptions.

Steve Jobs was the CEO of Apple. And...

“A CEO does only three things. Sets the overall vision and strategy of the company and communicates it to all stakeholders. Recruits, hires, and retains the very best talent for the company. Makes sure there is always enough cash in the bank.” (from Fred Wilson, Venture Capitalist icon, requoting something he was taught early in his professional career)

Jobs showed that he was able to do all three of these things extremely well, arguably better any other CEO of our time. He did communicate a vision and strategy [#1], and he used that vision and strategy to recruit the very best talent for Apple [#2], people better than Jobs himself was at getting done what needed to be done (i.e., the people you lament "will die unknown"). His ability to do both those things - and to make sure that everyone performed and delivered in line with the vision [#!, again] - is why Apple is projected to have $90+BILLION in cash reserves at the end of the year [#3], climbed from $10/share to $400/share, and is the highest valued tech company in the world.

Remember, too that history reinforces that technical ability minus a clear vision and strong leadership doesn't produce Mac OS X/iOS, MacBook Airs, iPods, iPhones or iPads. They produce Pink/Taligent, 20th Anniversary Macs, Newtons, MacTVs and Pippins. And a company that loses its leadership position, is valued at $10/share, and comes within sight of bankruptcy.
