Keep in mind that unlike auto accidents, incidents like AF447 are incredibly rare. That particular problem could've been fixed with better pitot heaters, no need for HAL-like software gimmickery. By implementing large-scale changes in an attempt to eliminate corner cases like that, it is all too easy to introduce vulnerabilities that will lead to completely different accidents, no less unpredictable.

There's a lot I don't understand about AF447, like, why couldn't a simple GPS receiver have saved them? GPS does a relatively poor job at reporting altitude, and is obviously useless at reporting airspeed, but it's certainly capable of telling you that you've dropped 10,000 feet over the past minute or two. I can understand how pilots could become disoriented, such that they don't know "which end is up," but I can't fathom why they shouldn't even know whether they are climbing or descending, which apparently was part of the AF447 scenario.
This is exactly why Yuri's Milner's involvement in YC is controversial. Most likely, given the political and economical climate in Russia he did not earn his wealth by playing fair.

Yes, what you just said.

I don't use Spreedly, but it is a similar case with the AppEngine pricing: I want providers to charge a fair price and keep providing services. Also, same as AWS: I have customers who grumble some on their monthly bills, but providers need to charge a fair market price.
pg is extremely naive if he thinks the this guy's money is not tainted. Actually, it does not take a genius to figure this out. IT IT IMPOSSIBLE to make that kind of money in Russia by playing according to the rules.

Jobs was an amazing capitalist.

He was the epitome of an exploitrepreneur.

I know he loves Apple, but that does not mean his articles are junk. In fact, they are quite the opposite. I love his article writing style, his logical approach to thinking, his ability to dig information (like his frequent articles on things going on in the google chrome project, Facebook insider info, apple insider info, etc), his ability to make articles interesting, etc.
One needs to read his articles with an open mind, enjoy the content/news, but assuming he will be slightly biased towards Apple and/or more excited about Apple than a typical geek would be, but that does not mean his articles will be crap.
These are not real devices, but it is more than spoofing the user agent and the resolution. For example, for the iPad, I use a mobile browser, which does the same scaling as the real device amongst other things, enable/disable features or behaviors, etc.
The link to the paper is given in the comments:

While you are right that it is from 50 years earlier than stated, it seems like a solid study. No, it's not actually "life expectancy", but I was impressed on how well designed it was. It makes for sobering reading, but the conclusion is actually positive: with only six hours of direct experience training, they could teach people how to make a safe 180 degree turn with a high percentage of success.

They explain the choice of the Bonanza, saying it was the most complex plane that a non-professional pilot could be expected to fly. The emphasis of the study was that simple training could save lives, and thus they wanted a high bar. "In sort, the assumption was made that if the subjects, none of whom had soloed a Bonanza, could master the technique in this airplane, they could master it in any single-engine airplane under 3,000 pounds gross weight."

And it's not quite true that the pilots had zero instrument time at the time of test. The first lesson included a very small amount of time to familiarize themselves with the instruments, and were given a second try if they lost control within only a few seconds. How much of a difference this is from the current 3 hours, and how far short of the recommended 6, seems worthy of discussion and likely a more modern study.
Conventionally, you would just say "Jesses" and the possessive would be clear from context.

As for the apostrophe, the veritable Strunk & White (arbiters of writing style) say:

Form the possessive singular of nouns by adding 's. Follow this rule whatever the final consonant. Thus write,

Charles's friend
Burns's poems
the witch's malice

Exceptions are the possessives of ancient proper names ending in -es and -is, the possessive Jesus', and such forms as for conscience' sake, for righteousness' sake. But such forms as Moses' Laws, Isis' temple are commonly replaced by the laws of Moses the temple of Isis.
Well, sure. But the reason we don't have "money on hand" to pay for anything is we're servicing all the debt we racked up in previous years.

Over the long term people who pay off their credit cards every month are in a better cash flow position, which is why I laugh when people say they need cards to maintain their standard of living. Countries are no different.

Now, if you're making an investment sometimes it's worth borrowing money. Businesses do that all the time. Governments do it too, but only very rarely, and they usually end up spending far more past the point of diminishing returns.
Another data point: I started college in the US at 14 as well without a GED or high school diploma. There weren't really any safe-guards to prevent this.

Review "my" profitable startup
A friend of mine used to work with a modeling and promotional agency when he lived in Australia. I guess he noticed a huge need for better coordinating employees so he developed a web based staff management system.

He is the programmer and has finished the site sometime in the middle of last year. In any case, he has done no advertising minus a dozen cold-emails to agencies in Australia and New Zealand, which have netted good results.

He has asked me to come on board and help him market and get more customers.

Currently, there are 4 customers with a price point of $250/month. I believe one of them was through his own connection and a couple were just cold-emails he did. There are also 2 in trials now, which he suspects will be paying customers after their free month trial.

He lives off of the revenue (cheaply) in Eastern Europe. He cuts into his savings from his past job too so there isn't a whole lot of money we can put into advertising. I tried doing some cold-emailing to American promotional/modeling agencies, but I had no luck. One lead was interested, but ended up not paying.

I'm thinking that if he can get 4-6 agencies in Australia/New Zealand interested enough to pay that kind of money, there should be plenty in the U.S. What do you guys think about the startup itself and how might you tackle the market for gathering more customers?

www.staffconnect.net is the staff management system.
Clearly, this is FB's VERY POOR attempt at framing MZ in the light of Jobs.

This is manipulative BS - and very transparent at that.

This sentence doesn't even make sense!:

"I get asked often what it is like to work with Zuck ... because they want to know how to do it themselves."

You get asked what it's like to work with a person because they want to know how to work with said person?

Is this english?
You could probably drop out, get a GED, go to community college for 2 years, and then transfer to the school that'll give you a 4 year degree.

With that said, I think some states have different rules in terms of what age you're allowed to drop out at. For example, Illinois requires students to be 17 years of age (and receive parental consent, of course) to drop out. At that point you're better off just finishing high school. even if you want to rapidly track into college.
He was young that time -- that does not mean he was dishonest for the rest of his life. And secondly, Woz loves him. Who are you dislike him, based on what Steve did to Woz, who knows what their relationship was...Since Woz loves him, I think this resolves the matter. Remember Steve made Woz a multi-millionaire by creating Apple, by providing his vision, entrepreneurial, marketing, business skills to his technical skills.

Similarly, people criticize him for bad behavior to his employees, but I see all apple employees love him (and love him much more than employees in most other companies love their leader) -- since I am an apple employee myself, I know. So I am not sure other people should dislike him for that when the actual employees that he talked to liked him (obviously there would be exceptions, some people obviously did not like him, but most did)

On Sept 6, 2011, ANA Airlines had one of their flights flipped almost 180 degrees, because one of the pilots pressed the wrong button. The weird thing is that although passengers felt the turbulence, they didn't know they had flipped almost upside down, I guess because of the same forces that confused these pilots. It's a scary thing, and if I remember correctly, its the same thing that killed JFK Jr.

SJ and Apple have been fantastically successful at leveraging their position. The company has produced amazing products, but you'd be foolish to think that their margins aren't anything but ridiculous.
Among other things, those monitors only refresh at 41 Hz, making them primarily useful for static images.

No it does not.

That is NOT what I am arguing - you are putting emotion into a technical claim.

Apple's products are amazing - but to say that Jobs was anything less than SHREWD is just naive.

EDIT:

I DO NOT DISLIKE Jobs.

I am making the point that he was an amazing shrewd businessman - I am not calling him dishonest - I AM calling his tactic exploitative.

Good luck saying they are not. Quality and Success are NOT an issue I am discussing.

Aaron, I applaud your principles and enjoy reading your somewhat condescending(because the bureaucratic idiots deserve it) yet still controlled responses. Incompetence drives me mad and I can't imagine how pissed off I'd be if I were in your shoes right now.

Does FaceCash have a legal team or are you doing this all on your own? I imagine you've researched every possible legal angle regarding the situation and you certainly don't need a law degree for that, but professionals could provide some additional insights, just from work experience (e.g. what happens in situations with other similar regulations and stupidity). Having practiced tax law in the past (three years in NY), I know that how certain things work in that field that you can't pick up from reading statutes or cases.

Given that you've gotten the exemption for doing business in other states, are you back to building out your business with the exception of in California? At some point, you've got to move on and do what's best for FaceCash even if that means not completely righting the wrong - unfortunately, incompetence and bureaucracy may be able to stand much longer than you can afford to fight.

Maybe they don't let students use computers because when you search for information about the Waldorf schools, you get all sorts of stuff about them being some kind of cult.

In my admittedly limited research, I found information about astral bodies, Atlantis, soul nourishment, clairvoyance and and a dislike of the left handed.

From the Skeptic's Dictionary:

Waldorf schools reflect Steiner's education theories, which hold that children advance through three stages....during the first stage, birth to age 7, the spirit inhabiting the body of the child is still adjusting to its surroundings, hence lower grades in Waldorf school offer minimal academic content. Reading is not introduced until second or third grade. During the second stage, ages seven to 14, children are said to be driven primarily by imagination and fantasy, so students are introduced to mythology. After age 14, the third stage, an astral body is believed to be drawn into the physical body, creating the onset of puberty.
This poor fellow has a history of blaming the world for his own business failures. Just lookback at his claims re: facebook vs his own competing site at harvard. The money transmitter regulations are a reaction to a serious problem with shady transmitters in california that prey mostly on poor people sending money back home. In this funding climate there should be little problem in raising the capital necessary to secure a bond if your payments startup is attractive to investors. The problem is that nobody wants to fund facecash.

“The idea that an app on an iPad can better teach my kids to read or do arithmetic, that’s ridiculous.”

In my experience this may be empirically false. My 4 year old could barely count, but after spending 2 months in the summer playing a couple of iPad games, he's adding 2 digit numbers and subtracting 1 digit numbers, and doing simple math puzzles. His elder brother couldnt do those till Kindergarten, and I dont think the difference was aptitude.

At the time some said that the upstream cause of the Arab Spring was increased food prices.

http://www.pbs.org/newshour/updates/world/july-dec11/food_09...

More controversially, some blamed this on the Fed's inflationary QE2 policy (printing money), as food prices went up across the world in real terms. In the US this was an inconvenience, but abroad it was something else.

It's a little more complicated than that. For one thing, people use the word "inflation" to mean two different (but somewhat related) things. When you or I say "inflation" what we really mean is an increase in the cost of living. But even beyond that everyone has a different cost of living - I bought a house this year, and I paid about half what I would have paid three years ago. When the government reports CPI this is part of the calculation.

For the Fed, "inflation" means an increase in the overall money supply. You get an increase in the money supply when people borrow money, and you get a decrease in the money supply when people pay off (or default) on loans. In a macro-economic sense we've been going through a period of pretty severe deflation since the housing market crashed, which is why the Fed is desperately pumping money into circulation. For all the gory details see here:

http://globaleconomicanalysis.blogspot.com/2008/12/humpty-du...

tl;dr: You can have a rise in the cost of living and deflation at the same time, just like you can have stable prices during inflation.

p.s. If you don't understand why the money supply increases when people borrow, this is a good (though a bit dramatic) primer:

Wow, incredible! The only thing though is that I wonder how long it will take Microsoft to actually commercialize something like this, or if someone will swoop in an eat their lunch.

If I remember correctly, they had the multi-touch Microsoft Surface years ago, but I didn't see them produce anything, until Apple came out with the iPhone and subsequently the iPad. Now everyone thinks that Apple invented that user experience from scratch. Bill Gates has talking about tablet computing for a decade, but it was Apple that actually made it a reality.

I wonder if they will make the same mistake again with this amazing technology (although they did get out the Kinnect which itself is a sweet piece of technology in its own right).
