How does adding several independent simple things make systems more complex in a way that is unavoidable (ie. incidental complexity, not problem complexity)? The interaction between simple elements will be explicit, whereas complex elements by definition interact in ways that you can't control.

Of course, sometimes the complex tool might be exactly what you need to solve your problem, making things easier. But in cases where you need only a part of the functionality of this tool, the complexity bites you as all the unneeded functionality (along its cost) is forced on you.

What sort of "overall complexity" does having several data structures in code introduce? As Rich Hickey says in his talk, complexity is not about cardinality.

In Clojure's model, the elements are distinct, and as such there is more simplicity in the system than in lisps where you have to understand the difference ("untangle" the complexity) between several different uses of lists to get anywhere.

I also think having several datastructures makes code easier to read due to the visual differences, but that's a separate discussion. :)
Motorola's acquisition will go down in history as one of the top 5 dumbest business decisions of all time. I won't be surprised if Larry Page is replaced as CEO within 3-5 years.
It used to be "No matter how bright you are, you have to be the one who have. You have to be the establishment. (because they're the only one who's got the dough.)"

Now it's "No matter how good your product is, you have to be the megacorp to abstract away the patent problem."

We're getting there, we're on the right track, but it's no way sufficing.
I believe this happens for video playback at least in the default setup. I'd imagine CyanogenMod etc. could make it happen for any other app (since they don't have the screen size hardcoded).

Now I just need to find the time to read it.
It actually has made it into machine learning. See the works of Gigerenzer on heuristic decision making, where he shows that simple heuristics outperform complex statistical models unless the amount of data is really large. It blew my mind when I saw it, and a good paper to start with is here: http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.130...

That being said, almost anything Gigerenzer has written in the last five years is extremely relevant to this topic.

Browser capabilities have come a long way since 2007, and the use cases are very different between mobile consumer apps and business apps. While ChromeBooks aren't able to fill every need, I bet they could still fit the needs of a lot of organizations. I've worked in at least a couple places where every single business app was web-based.
Well, the article is going to help that. Despite its title most of it is a very shallow overview of the currency in general while mentioning how the rate has fallen and some examples of how it is not universally accepted. Finally, in the second to last paragraph, it offers up the hypothesis that it was a speculative bubble.

Usually you get better fare from the Economist.

Well, at least they're still using Emacs. That being said, they have a weird way of describing the hotkeys. For example, for C-x C-f, they tell you to hold down C-x, release all keys, then press C-f. You don't need to release the control key, and it adds at least half a second if you do.
wholeheartedly agreed. I left my 9to5 last week, and have spent this week focusing on my startup from my apartment.

or should I say attempting to focus... after spending so long not particularly caring how super-crazy-efficient i was - putting your life/job/happiness on the line, really drives home how important the skill of "focus" really is.
How does the course get around the problem of functional programming being a complete pain in the arse in Python? For me the value of SICP was to teach me how easy, beautiful and powerful it can be to program that way, because everything else before it failed to communicate that. I can't see how an SICP in python could have the same effect.

You're putting the cart before the horse.

The Swiss desire peace. In their history they've suffered from some stunning little civil wars. In order to obtain and retain peace, they have amongst other things decided on a policy of strict neutrality. They can in part uphold this because of their geopolitical position in Europe -- an almost perfect natural fortress. It is easy to defend and they can keep themselves in food and water more or less indefinitely.

As a consequence of neutrality and defensibility, their country has natural competitive advantages in banking. Complaining about the Swiss being good at banking is like complaining about the USA being good at farming. In both cases natural features and political history have pretty much made certain outcomes more or less inevitable.

I posted this on another thread but I think it's worth repeating. Here's why Larry Page is doing poor job.

A company's Return on Invested Capital is the ultimate measure of a company's valuation. it's not the PE, EPS, etc. Basically, ROIC is a measure of how efficient a company is in using its capital to generate returns. Warren Buffet uses ROIC to evaluate companies.
Let's compare Apple and Google's ROIC. Apple's return on invested capital is 30.4% with a 5-year average of 26.1% despite Apple having lower gross profit margins compared to Google. a 30.4% ROIC is amazingly high for a "hardware company". Google's return on invested capital is only 18.3% with 5 year aveage of 17.2%. Why?

Different types of growth earn different degrees of return so not all growth is equally value-creating. Growth strategies based on organic new product development (ie. iPod, iPhone, iPad, iMac, etc.) frequently have the highest returns because they dont require much new capital. Apple can add new products to their existing factory lines and distribution systems, without much capital expenditure. The investments to produce new products are not all required at once. If preliminary results are not promising, future investments can be scaled back or canceled. Contrast this with Google's growth strategy of acquiring companies (Motorola, Youtube, Android, Doubleclick, etc.). Acquisitions require that the entire investment be made up front. The amount of up-front payment reflects the expected cash flows from the target company plus a premium to stave off other bidders. So even if Google can improve the target company enough to generate an attractive ROIC, the rate of return is typically only a small amount higher than its cost of capital. Factor in the additional traffic acquisition costs and costs of running hundreds of thousands of servers to support Google search, Youtube, Blogspot, GMail, etc. and you'll see why Google's return on invested capital is much lower compared to Apple. Google has a habit of wasting money on money-losing initiatives with low ROIC (Google's $280-million solar power initiative, self driving cars, etc.). Wall Street perceives the $12.5 Billion Moto acquisition as an expensive and inefficient use of capital that will further dilute the company's ROIC. Motorola's acquisition does not create or add value to Google. it actually destroys value, at least until Google recoups the $12.5 Billion acquisition cost.
This is the reason why Apple is the most valuable company in the world. Meanwhile, Google's market cap's been stuck in the $170-$200B range for a couple of years now.

Here's the number one rule of conservation of value: anything that doesn't increase cash flows doesn't create value.

"Do four 10mph car crashes do the same damage as one 40mph crash? If it can be properly coordinated."

I know this is totally unrelated, but it is worth correcting: potential energy is 1/2 m v^2, so that faster car has 16 times the potential energy as each of the slower cars. That is why braking distances do not go up linearly with car speed and why high speed accidentals are way more lethal than low speed ones.

I guess there is an analogy here that one double-speed CPU beats two single-speed ones for most tasks, but I do not think it is very apt.
Show HN: Building Android Twitter App Using JavaScript
Hero worship exists as a powerful evolutionary parasite, designed to extract submission from a competing male from within your tribe. If a member of your tribe is climbing the totem pole rapidly, you can either let him by or challenge him. If you challenge him, you need to believe that you are better. This is risky, since objectively measuring human ability has proven difficult even to this day. Thus, personality cults emerge whose purpose is to make one seem superhuman with wild stories, and discourage potential challengers. Whoever has the strongest personality cult wins the status challenge, and moves up. The one who submits to the personality cult without challenge preserves his status relative to others, and is not removed from the totem pole.

Competence is a necessary, but not sufficient, trait to reach the top. There are a great many people in the world more competent than Jeff Bezos. They do however, lack the cult of personality and thus are not at the top of their own totem poles.

The lack of personality cults in Microsoft and Facebook is the reason why they always receive bad press for not having "visionary leaders" or "creative energy". This is all code speak for the fact that employees do not fear the personalities of Zuckerberg and Gates (and Allen), so they have less respect for the company and thus believe it is not a place worth working for as they'd rather not "work under an equal". Simply put, Zuck and Gates did not cultivate their personality cults enough for the average employee to fear AND respect them as a superhuman CEO demigod. And they pay the price to this day by being on the receiving end of slightly veiled slander at their abilities and thus, their right to rule.

I wonder how many people realize this as they read about Steve Jobs, the tech CEO who should have been a politician.

I'm working on backend systems for a small startup, and I am writing software that on my work laptop (MacBook Pro, Core 2 Duo at 2.4 Ghz, with 4 GB of ram) takes about 30 seconds to compile. Tests take another minute or so to run. That is 1 minute and 30 seconds too long because my attention is now elsewhere ...
>> I posted this on another thread but I think it's worth repeating.

No, it's not worth repeating. You couldn't manage to hold 30 minutes without controlling yourself, let alone 30 days.

No soup for you!

So now who's trolling? got anything intelligent to say?
The system has always been defective to a significant degree. The difference today is that the information age makes it that much easier to abuse and run afoul of the system. It's certain that there have been many independent invention "patent violations" throughout recent history that flew under the radar of the legal system merely due to the difficulty of researching such things in an era of less pervasive communications.

We've sped up the rpms on the centrifuge and the system is shaking itself apart.
This is to counter spam and malware, done the Microsoft way (like Outlook not being able to receive attachments with certain filename extensions):

"Michael Atalla, Director of product management for Exchange Server and Exchange Online, confirmed the limitation [...], arguing that it’s a necessary anti-spam measure:

'Every online service provider must limit and constrain its service based on limitations such as the amount of disk space currently in its datacenters or bandwidth currently available and also enforce behavioral thresholds which prevent inappropriate use of the service by malicious users or criminals. This is true for any form of web-based service.

In the world of email, one of the thresholds that must be enforced is the amount of email that is sent through the system by any one user or organization in order to combat spam, mass-mailing worms & viruses.'"
Really, it's as if paying off your friendly neighbourhood patent troll will become just another ugly cost of doing business.

Maybe they should set up an online patent-protection store where developers can setup an account to ease the friction (probably wouldn't have a one-click checkout though).
I guess the majority of these fires are caused by lightning. There are some 16 million lightning storms in the world every year[1], or about 44,000 every day. An interesting video of lightning seen from the Space Shuttle during night time orbit of Earth: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6RxE-f2iyQ

The Wired video is also interesting because it shows the expanding and contracting areas of frost and vegetation.

And to add one more point: if it were to become successful, governments would likely make it illegal. Yes, it's decentralized, but they could still sue random people for using it, just like with people downloading music.

So, yes, neat thought experiment, revolutionary idea, but very unlikely to be used by more than a handful of people.
"We are players in a game we don’t understand."

We've had the opportunity to understand the game ever since Darwin published the Origin of Species. Yet, even Darwin himself struggled with the ramifications of what we truly are (and aren't) after his mind numbing discovery. The truth is far too devastating for the majority, and it is this fact that divides us. A brain can only be of three dispositions: one that understands reality, one that refuses to, and one that doesn't. A subset of the last is a brain which simplifies a complex, poorly understood reality into one that is far easier to grasp. This last one is where the majority find comfort.

Human motivation is frighteningly simple if looked at objectively, and it is this truth that we hide from ourselves at all costs to preserve our sanity.
I'm surprised. Oh well.

BTW: Awesome thread.
