"dangerously similar to Facebook’s" with the only difference being "Unlike Facebook, the inbox doesn’t have a fixed width and users can choose one of four display density types". I cannot imagine what innovations are to be made in this field, but still, I like what Google did and it really looks nice, outsmarting the Facebook gloomy system.
First reaction: "Do Not Want ><"

It does look a lot more like G+, latest G-Doc and so on, so it feels like a natural evolution of it, but I don't like that suddenly everything became so big and sparse. I want to manage my emails and last time I checked I had a buttload of them, don't need something that makes me scroll x3 more than I already have now... Sure it looks prettier but is it more usable? I wouldn't bet on that.

Though I guess it's going to be the same as any redesign people don't like - lots of complaints and everyone will forget about it sooner rather than later.....
I think the Unix philosophy jab is about data. Instead of using string/text file with no form, I think he's suggesting that a standard format (like JSON) could be much simpler.

HTTP is just that, a protocol : a standard way for two entities to communicate. In Unix, there's no protocol, its just text without any standard form, which makes it difficult to write tools.

2. The iPad uses encryption just like the iPhone. Most people won't be able to defeat that encryption, but most people will be able to do this simple on/off hack.
> Coming from the Midwest though, I think I would prefer the rain over 3 months of harsh winters.

I'm from Oregon, and to make a long story short, I think I much preferred the winter in Innsbruck, Austria, where we spent a couple of years. It's cold, but relatively dry. You can go out and do stuff in the snow, whereas with 5 C and rain... the only good option is to simply stay indoors.
I've lived here for eight years now and I still complain about the weather. I grew up in Minnesota, though, not California.

"Apple makes them most money though -- I am not sure how Foxconn conditions are caused by Apple."

Nike was very heavily criticized for the working/living conditions of workers at the factories that made Nike shoes.

For quite sometime, Nike hid behind the claim that they were not shoe manufacturers, but a sports product design and marketing company, and that the actual conditions of the workers were not Nike's business.

What you are telling me "Apple makes them most money though " is that Apple has a great deal of leverage with FoxConn, and that Apple can use that leverage as Nike did to dramatically improve and police the conditions of the FoxConn employees.

And if Steve Jobs had, or Tim Cook would, tell their users that in the future prices would take a $10 jump per player to ensure they were manufactured in better conditions, my guess is that it would affect sales in much the same way that Nike's sales were affected (which is to say, increase.)
Jobs proposed … that schools stay open until 6 p.m. and that they be open 11 months a year.

"He had walked several kilometres over pavements, and his varicose ulcer was throbbing. This was the second time in three weeks that he had missed an evening at the Community Centre: a rash act, since you could be certain that the number of your attendances at the Centre was carefully checked. In principle a Party member had no spare time, and was never alone except in bed. It was assumed that when he was not working, eating, or sleeping he would be taking part in some kind of communal recreation: to do anything that suggested a taste for solitude, even to go for a walk by yourself, was always slightly dangerous. There was a word for it in Newspeak: OWNLIFE, it was called, meaning individualism and eccentricity."
As I mentioned in another comment here, on October 11, the IDPF membership unanimously voted to elevate EPUB 3.0 to a final IDPF Recommended Specification. Apple's iBooks (e.g. on the iPad) already supports some parts of EPUB 3.0 [1], and Kobo says they'll have an e-reader device that supports EPUP 3.0 in the next 3-6 months [2].

Yeah, but if you want all schools to be open until six, I'd say the president is a reasonable place to start that discussion.

(That's not to say that I think this (good) idea could ever be implemented in the USA, though.)

Try looking at it again:

It's posted in "Friends of the Unofficial Google Reader API"

and he says: "I realize that we're using an unofficial API, so we have no right to
complain about any changes to it (instead we should be thankful to have been
able to use it for so long). But at the same time, the Reader team is well
aware that developers such as myself are using their API in our software,
and some of us rely on this software to generate an income."
For his usecase (multiple people editing with automatic version control) pity he didn't try Google docs which I think is better for this. No appending initials to the file to indicate review completed, full tracking of changes and indication of who did what. Office.live and few other similar services also would have been better.

No offense, but from my perspective you're getting a little rude here without really explaining the situation.

So far I grasped from you that external static files compromise the security model so much it's worth the time and effort to keep up to date with them locally and be okay if the page load times suffer (they do especially with minimalist sites.)

I understand the risk that Google CDN might be hacked and turned into a data mining monster, but it would, at the same time, infect so many important and popular sites on the whole web, I can't even imagine my sites being targeted.
Same amount to each recipient each month?

If you're with a major bank (BOFA, WF, etc), you can schedule payments with your bank via their online banking.

The original question implied an API for outgoing payments, but since that doesn't exist (afaik), you can ease the burden. For payments that vary in amount, most major banks allow you to add a payee once, then whenever you know the amount/date a payment will be due, you can schedule it. Ideal? Probably not, but I find it much less painful than checks+stamps+USPS.

Yeah, but you don't know if it's a dip because the typical person made less, or the richest 1% made less. Given that 2009 was a recession, you'd expect average to be down either way (since population didn't change appreciably.)

That's the problem with averages.

I have no idea if the math works as you say but the federal government doesn't fund primary education. That is all done at the local and state level and so it isn't just a matter of tweaking the federal budget (as if that itself was easy).

I think the bigger problem is that teacher's unions have created a calcified public education system that is risk and change adverse. Hard to experiment with new ideas in that environment.

As someone who ships items daily with the postal service, the cube is not necessary. Yes, you have to pay extra for the "package rate" to get delivery confirmation, but you don't actually have to add extra items to make it a package.

This is the fault of the shipper, not the postal service.
Sorry, but that's far from free. Very misleading statement.
I agree. Note that it also apply to humanity itself.
Apple actually did a lot to better the labor conditions at the plants. They routinely publish a report about it as well.

What I wanted to say is that Foxconn makes products for a large number of companies : Acer, Amazon, Intel, Cisco, HP, Dell, Nintendo, Nokia, Microsoft, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, Vizio, and others, apart from Apple. I am sure their products are also manufactured in the same labor conditions. Why is Apple being blamed and not any of the other companies? In fact, since Apple's name has been publicized, they have done much more to improve the conditions there, I am not sure whether these other clients did even a little bit.

Siri Says: A Ruby gem for receiving commands from Siri
I was originally from Seattle where I was an engineer at Amazon for a couple years before moving to the bay area. Seattle is an incredibly livable place. If you feel yourself getting bothered by the rain, just remind yourself that the rain cleans out the air and produces the greenest, freshest natural beauty that you can find on the West coast. Hands down - better summer climate than anywhere. If you're doing a startup, do you really leave your computer anyways? Just save it for when the weather's nice. I don't know why Seattle doesn't have as large of a startup scene. It's got a huge tech scene, no doubt, and it has every ingredient in the mix to foster a large startup community (smarts, companies, UW, coffee, good beer). Most of all, it seems more business friendly. In particular - the economic climate seems more startup friendly. You could get a really decent place to rent for 800 dollars a month. The transportation has gotten much better with the underground train/bus tunnel. About seven days a week there's almost always a killer happy hour where you could eat gourmet food for under ten dollars - much better than the food I've had in the Bay Area. Also, there's no state income tax. If you're looking to buy a house, I believe that all things considered, your house purchase dollars go five times further in the Seattle area. - And you're just an hour and a half flight away from the South Bay. It seems you could live there and be very frugal, and spend your credit card miles commuting to the bay area once every other week - and still come out ahead.
I haven't been back there in a year, but I hear the startup community is getting even stronger. I hope it does well as a startup hub.

I'm not trying to diminish you or your argument, which was in fact quite a good read.

You said that it is very annoying having to sell ideas to both customers and your creators. Well, that's a given because creators are quite stubborn people. But creators listen to other capable creators, for which they have enough respect to just trust without much questioning.

You will always struggle to get creators to do what you want, unless you are a creator yourself that can get shit done. For software engineering, it does not matter that you're brilliant in so many other ways if you are not capable of doing the job yourself (and you mentioned that you can code a little, but I don't think that's enough).

Look for example at Linus Tolvards (since he was on the author's list). He said so himself that he doesn't do much coding these days and his main talent is to get other people to work for him. But he can start stuff like nobody else, his knowledge is unparalleled and when he talks people listen.

About Steve Jobs, it is relevant because he's kind of a role model. But Steve Jobs is also a product of the right circumstances. You cannot be like Steve Jobs without having Wozniak as your best friend (this works both ways, Wozniak also benefited greatly from his friendship with Steve Jobs).
hes talking events i guess, instead of A saying "B do this" it just pushes "i want this done" in a queue. and someone else, may be B, could dequeue and get it done. this decouples A and B.

Clojure is homoiconic just as much as CL and Scheme are. It just happens to use more than one datastructure to represent code.

The "oneness" in other lisps does not make things simpler, nor, in my opinion, easier. The reason why parens (lists) in traditional lisps are not simple is that they complect several different purposes. In contrast Clojure uses list forms (almost) exclusively for "active" expressions such as function and macro calls. For grouping and binding, vectors (and sometimes maps) are used instead.

In this manner Clojure manages to keep the roles of different data structures in code mostly simple.

I don't know where this 1.5% inflation figure is coming from. I am seeing a 10-40% (or more) increase in food prices when shopping for groceries. Bottle of hydrogen peroxide used to cost $1.69 a year ago, now costs 2 dollars. I don't belive this 1.5% figure, it does not match what I observed.

Think about it, how could it be that it is only 1.5% inflation when the size of the money supply is doubled or tripled?

Dropbox, for me, is the best tool I have for team collaboration.

We are an active and very early Same Page user (UX sucks ass) I've used Atlassian, Groove and other collaboration tools.

Dropbox is hands down the most efficient - because it requires ZERO THINKING on the part of ANY user.

They just edit files on their machine, shared directories between users are auto-updated.

There is NOTHING to do on any end.

If you cant figure out how to manage directory structures across your team, then you shouldn't be on a team.
This is a perspicacious comment; if you're curious about more, see Edward Glaeser's book The Triumph of the City (http://www.amazon.com/Triumph-City-Greatest-Invention-Health...), which is quite good on 1) how density promotes idea transmission, 2) the environmental consequences of cities, and 3) transportation problems, which affect (2).
This is GDP in current US dollars. Not in what US dollars were at the time. This is the only way to meaningfully compute GDP. Of course the choice of US dollars is arbitrary. But if you do some math you would realize that if you calculated it as GDP in current BRL you would get exactly the same curve.

But the only way to meaningfully measure GDP is to measure it against a single unchanging metric, and that's what they did here. Otherwise a country could double its GDP by simply devaluing its currency by half.

In theory, sure, a disinterested regulator would ensure that the cost of polluting was higher than the cost of not polluting. (Another solution to this problem is via property right enforcement, by the owners of the nearby polluted properties that share airspace/water table with the polluter).

But in practice the EPA is hardly a disinterested party when it comes to publishing studies on its own cost effectiveness. It exists to increase its budget and scope, just like all other agencies, but has no check on its behavior. Its officials are not elected, cannot be fired, and are effectively invisible to the public. Moreover, opposition to EPA malfeasance/corruption is often caricatured as opposition to clean air and clean water itself.

As an example of regulatory pathology, consider that the EPA is giving grants and instruction manuals to NGOs, telling them how to sue the agency into expanding its powers.

m.yahoo.com/w/news_america/epa-funds-greens-sue-221700941.html?orig_host_hdr=news.yahoo.com&.intl=us&.lang=en-us

The EPA even tacitly encourages such suits, going so
far as to pay for and promote a "Citizen's Guide" that,
among other things, explains how to sue the agency
under "citizen suit" provisions in environmental laws.
The guide's author — the Environmental Law Institute —
has received $9.9 million in EPA grants over the past
decade.

And, to top it off, critics say the EPA often ends up
paying the groups' legal fees under the Equal Access to
Justice Act.

What's going on? "The EPA isn't harmed by these suits,"
said Jeffrey Holmstead, who was an EPA official during
the Bush administration. "Often the suits involve things
the EPA wants to do anyway. By inviting a lawsuit and
then signing a consent decree, the agency gets legal
cover from political heat."

Most people have never read an expose on the EPA; they think of them as the "good guys" who protect us from the evil polluters. What's funny is that we can see through this kind of logic when the normal police invoke it to justify any action in the pursuit of common criminals, but not when the environmental police do so -- and the EPA is most certainly a branch of the police, with the power to raid, fine, and seize property.
I suppose he means that instead of A calling B directly, A should put work in a queue and B should consume from it, thus decoupling the two entities.

This all seems at odds with the Ira Glass quote that makes its rounds here:

Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through.

You don't have taste in something you're not passionate about, and you likely won't keep it for long after that passion wanes. You won't know that you've made a good cafe unless you care about coffee. You might not like accounting or mopping but you'll tolerate the grind only to the extent you care about what you're doing.
