And there are many structured discussions on Wikipedia that follow set patterns and rules. Take deletion: at Articles for Deletion (the area of the site where deletion is debated), there are a set of common patterns and anti-patterns of arguments that you should use and avoid using, and there is a time period where you can submit comments and something vaguely like quorate required before a decision can be made. At the end of a week, the discussion is wrapped up: it's obvious, it gets kept or deleted, and if not, the admin has to sum up the arguments and accept them in a sort of quasi-judicial manner. It's rather more civilized than YouTube or newspaper comments pages...
I appreciate passion, but I was more heartened by the reports that during the last few years he devoted himself more to family.
Does anyone know exactly what API's there are for accessing Siri, or is it pretty locked down at this point?

Informative as they are, the graphs don't show the complete information. For example, they don't show the effects of various deductions and other ways the actual tax for individuals can be reduced, and they don't show the treatment of capital gain, so for example, you can't draw a conclusion about any period of time being more tax-heavy than another.

I would imagine for the same reason as wearing two watches doesn't improve your knowledge of the current time. You're more likely to be within the largest margin of error (i.e., the latest time on either of the watches is probably no later than the current time), but what can you say about the earliest time? Since it's equally likely to be correct on either watch, the only thing you can do is average it. But in the case that one of the watches is actually correct, you've just introduced error.

A lot of articles get deleted because they're crap (CSD etc.). Yes, deletionism can go too far, and crowing about how much one has deleted is hardly the epitome of virtue, but keeping the site clean of spam, vandalism and crap is a good thing.
When you're at that point in your career you cost a lot more to hire and there are fewer positions, especially since it's usually better to promote an insider instead of hiring a buddy from outside the company.

He's clearly bringing his experience and design ideas used in webOS to Android. Some of the features may have existed in Android before, but clearly he's driving the UX/UI for them in a direction based on work he did with webOS as well.

Its not just a checkbox for "yep, does multitasking", but how that is presented to the user. The "card" metaphor is very different than iOS "double click home, show row of icons"

The competition between the mobile OS is driving innovation and movement toward better design patterns that will be common between them. Notifications is a good example of something moving that way already and how iOS has copied notifications that are similar to Android, but also more so webOS.

Is it? When I'm writing about somebody who refers another person somewhere, I use "referrer." When I write about HTTP headers, I use "referer," even outside of code (i.e. in chat or prose). They're distinct concepts that now have distinct (but homophonic) words.

Design is craft not knowledge.

It is learned by doing because it is a process.

The act of designing requires an iterative process incorporating a feedback loop, and proficiency is only demonstrated through execution.

There is no such thing as "a design in my head."

If it ain't "on paper", there is no design.

That's why it is taught in a studio environment and multiple choice is not used as a means of evaluation.
I wonder why is virtualization needed to have multiple profiles in one phone... wouldn't it be easier to integrate that at OS level?
They aren't accessing any API's - Siri is still pretty locked down at this point, and will be for a while. All this does is sync your Calender with Remember the Milk, which never actually interacts with Siri.
Terse Words: MapReduce with Mongoose and CoffeeScript
You can't compare seeing human beings interacting in a "true 3D", real-life setting to the same thing happening on a screen. You don't get depth perception, and there are artifacts of recording in video and audio (even in modern HD shows) that make a real-life scene distinctly different. I don't know scientifically how that's important, I just know there's a difference. You know there's a difference if you ever see someone on TV and then see them in real life for the first time.

A remote doesn't explore causality inside the media, it's only exploring "when I press a certain button it will switch to a different show which is not of my choosing and which I can't predict". They might correllate pressing the same numbers with the same show at the same time of the day. The "camera angle" interactivity in live theater doesn't get into causality at all, just different ways you can look at or listen to a scene, but in videogames causality is rarely so random.

Think of it at a very basic, I-don't-know-what-TV-or-videogames-are level: I press the channel up button on the remote, the image suddenly changes to something entirely different. If I do this a few hours later, the former image and the latter image are entirely different from before. Let's even assume I'm watching Netflix and I've figured out how to navigate menus: the menu is interactive, but the media I'm watching doesn't give me any control over what's happening inside the media. In a videogame, if I press a button a character will move, a gun will shoot, a menu will open. If I do the same thing a few hours from now, the same thing will happen. A different thing might happen in a predictable context: if my dude is in front of a wall he might climb the wall rather than jump when I press A, it's generally bad design to allow otherwise. The link between cause and effect is much more clear, and my role as an agent of cause is much more clear as well.
Sounds like you've definitely brightened up one mans life!

The word mando'a bounced around in my head for a while, then I remembered that mandu'a is Guarani[1] for 'to remember'.

I don't know if there is a better way to do this, but when creating our own API we also added a $_GET['_method'] variable with 'GET|POST|PUT|DELETE' values. This was basically to override the HTTP request method. This gave us a lot of convenience calling the Rest API from flex/flash which does not support PUT/DELETE request types yet.
So, if I understand you correctly, the average error decreases but the best error actually increases?
Steve Jobs wasn't the next Thomas Edison - he was the next AP Carter
Yeah, sorry - that's not totally obvious from the bit I snipped. Apple (and presumably the other phone manufacturers) do sell into Russia, and a 25% import duty would probably have a significant impact on their sales.
Love this hack, it's the reason I joined HN, to learn about things exactly like this. My question is, when Apple opens the API, are we going to see Siri games?

Being an introvert loner is not a permanent condition, and you can put in work to improve how you socialize and relate to other people.

Just like with any other worth-while self-improvement process this will require you to step out of your comfort zone.

A great way to to both improve your social skills and improve your job prospects is to start going to local networking events and meetups associated with the technologies you are interested in.

Set a goal for yourself to talk to atleast one or two new people. At first it will seem contrived, but think of it like going to the gym, and talking to people like exercise. Eventually as you improve, you will find that you actually enjoy it.

The point is that you have to expend conscious effort to improve this aspect of your life.

What would be really cool is to make reminders that reminds you when you are in a special area.

For example:

When I am close to a special shop it reminds me to get that special battery that only them have.

When I get home it reminds me to do something in my home, take out the trash for example.

When I visit a friend I get a reminder about something I should inform him of.

Location-based notifiers instead of time-based (or a combination so it would not remind me to go to the store nearby in the middle of the night and its closed).

Maybe they could have used the SMS hack to interface with Siri too?

As of now via Siri I can update Twitter and Facebook by telling Siri, "Text Facebook," or "Text Twitter." In my contacts i created a Facebook contact with my carrier's FB short code, as well created a Twitter contact with it's short code.

This same hack possibly could be applied to Evernote, ping.fm, a wake up call service (random example) & other services that have a SMS component?

From everything I've seen of Jobs' private life, it was all about his family. Up until the end he spent his time on the two things he loved the most: his family and Apple.

We should all be so lucky to find a job that we love doing 'til our last breath.
Well, before you get back into the workforce, you could try acting more likeable. You might disagree with something but you can choose not to let them know. And if your boss hired to to work on a project, don't refuse to do it; otherwise what did he hire you for? It's like signing up to be a cleaner but refusing to mop the floor.

I don't know about your CV/resume, maybe you can reformat it so we can view it anonymously but still get the gist of it and comment? (Delete your name, your previous company names, organisational names, project names, school names, marks, copy and paste and change the font to plain text format, use your imagination).
This article is in desperate need of an editor... or at least a simple proofread. There are a few weird formatting mishaps and at least a few sentences that don't make any grammatical sense.
It means more satellites in the constellation(s), and in circumstances where that makes the difference between getting a GPS/GLONASS fix and having to rely on cell tower/WiFi positioning then the difference in accuracy would be very significant.

Good points, cheers. It's messy (at the very least just visually) but there are some standards.

I'll stick to my assertion, though, that more people need to think about this stuff, because the organically grown processes don't always cut it — otherwise, you wouldn't have frustrated rants like those of Zed Shaw (http://sheddingbikes.com/posts/1297662169.html) and Jason Scott (http://ascii.textfiles.com/archives/808).
If your site is so sparse that Google can ruin you just by handling a search query, your business model was broken or non-existent. There must be something they can do with all that traffic data to differentiate. Where's the aggregate statistics?

As a first-timer, I really appreciated having Flask around. It might not have a database layer, but it did have really excellent documentation. I felt like I had a much firmer understanding of what was happening with Flask than I did with Django.
I don't know, to me it looked like taxes were higher during war years. The graph shows taxes dropping between WW1 and WW2, remaining elevated throughout the Cold War and increasing when the US participated in armed conflict, and then going down the last two decades. At least that's the general trend I saw in the graph.
Not as much as you might think. After the Daily Mail (think Britain's answer to Fox News but with the additional benefit that you can use it to wipe yourself if you are out of toilet roll) published a story saying that Amanda Knox's appeal had been rejected, we had an enormous discussion on the Reliable Sources Noticeboard about whether to ban the Daily Mail as a source.

We didn't reach consensus on whether to do so, but you can bet that the next time they do something equally stupid, said thread will come up in discussion. A few more major blunders and they will quite probably stop being considered a reliable source on WP.
No one is denying that Gates,Jobs and Buffett accomplished incredible feats. I'm just arguing that, at the beginning, each had a partner to help get things started. Woz created the Apple 1 and 2 which brought incredible financial success to Apple allowing Jobs to later start Next and purchase Pixar from Lucas. Paul Allen was instrumental Microsoft's early days including coding Microsoft Basic and making deals. Gates had the chance to then operate from a strong position to grow Microsoft and lock in that monopoly. Warren Buffett has always said that he didn't create Bershire alone and that Charlie Munger (as well as Benjamin Graham) helped immensely.

I am currently a single founder and I disagree with the idea that you must have a co-founder to be successful. I'm just arguing that if you want to use Gates,Jobs and Buffett as your examples of single founders they don't hold up well.

Rahul Dravid : A look behind the wall
You might try getting involved in some open source projects, that way you can build a network of people who have worked with you and know what you can do, but who didn't have to take a risk on hiring you, given you track record.

I don't know what your skillset consists of, but if you have any experience with mobile development (android, iphone, etc) or think you can pick it up, there's a huge demand for mobile developers, and if you build a few apps on your own and publish them to the app store/market, that gives you something to show people, instead of them only being able to check your past work history by calling up previous bosses.

Finally, if you can get stuff done, you might see about working for a startup. They will probably be much more demanding of your time, but they may be willing to give you a chance where a corporate HR person would otherwise rule you out off the cuff.

Good luck.
I have an issue with your second statement.

If you look at the commit logs of any popular open-source project (whether it's Linux or Apache) you'll notice 1 thing...

That the people who do the majority of the work are directly sponsored or employed to do that work by companies, who profit from the work on that project.

This whole "it's made by 1000s of people who do it in their free time" is pure marketing bullshit.

Your statement takes everything away from the people that drive the project and gives it all to the pure consumers, the fanboys, and the people who remove the extra space in some printf statement in the codebase.
Sure, Woz helped get Apple started. Then with that start, Jobs had cash that helped him at Next and Pixar and back at Apple where he worked for $1 a year. So, Jobs was really the 'founder' of the success at Next, Pixar, and the Apple we know today. Your point is just that the early success at Apple gave Jobs cash. With cash, Jobs was a wildly successful sole founder at Next, Pixar, and his return to Apple where the cash was relevant but not the early Apple or Woz.

The issue is, can a sole founder be successful? The evidence from Jobs at Next, Pixar, and Apple upon his return is, with cash, yes. So, just for the people involved, Jobs is a great example of a successful sole founder in his last three gigs.

You are bending over backwards to refuse to see this. Why don't you go on and say that the iPod was due to his mother while you are at it?

Again, yet again, so that even you might be able to get it, is Jobs, with some cash, was three times a successful sole founder. That's the issue: A sole founder, and three times he was. Even you can get that now.

There are some universities that assign Wikipedia articles as coursework: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:School_and_university...

There is a certain learning curve you have to go through when contributing, however, and one that makes sense and has nothing to do with power-hungry editors. Students, grad students or fresh PhDs especially, can sometimes trick themselves into thinking that their niche area of research is the most important thing in the world, and make the coverage of a small subtopic swell out of proportion, or write about it in a way that makes sense for other grad students but not for a broader public. That's something they can grow out of, but not everybody masters the Wikipedia style of writing from the get-go, not even very smart people.

Hence, the reason why I think these assignments are so great is because established Wikipedians get to learn students something about writing for a different audience, establishing consensus and writing in group, and Wikipedia gets better content in return. That's the ideal anyway.
If you can reproduce faster than anyone else you have a big edge. But I'm curious on what the rules of reproduction are.
