Exactly! TrackPoint is THE functionality for which I stick with ThinkPads. For people who write with 10 fingers blindly, it is a must have. As with all good tools (vi, shell, haskell, 10 finger typing), it is hard to learn at the beginning, but in the end it is a productivity boost.

I have a X220T and I love it. It's light, the battery lasts very long, the screen is gorgeous, I can work outside. When I need to take notes, or to draw, I use the pen. And for typing it has the excellent ThinkPad keyboard - I do not understand the new mode for keyboards with flat, quadratic key buttons with spaces around, I personally think it is bad for people that need to write a lot. The only thing that I am missing on X220T is the 4:3 screen ratio that would give more vertical space in horizontal mode.
The banks could not only have done more risky investments. Americans seem to keep forgetting that they are not the only country in the world. American bank can still invest in foreign bonds. There are other countries which also happen to have a better security rating at the moment, you know?

Custom level: 1000 ducks, 5000 bullets... Fire in the hole!
Being in the Kindle conversion and formatting business, one of the advantages of having such a simple format was that self-published authors can create books that look just like those from major publishing houses. There's only so much you can do to make something fancy with the current Kindle format. With more capabilities, we'll likely see people try and do 'fancy' and end up with stuff that's actually not that great looking.

The wording of the text regarding 'older readers' is also a bit confusing. Will material created for KF8 be 'automatically translated'? Will the tools output two different formats? I'm curious to see the details.

I guess I'll need to order a Fire though, in order to keep up... I was a bit ambivalent, as I'm not wild about not having the Google stuff, and about the Android fork of an older version.

The good stuff: table support currently sucks, and the ability to do a bit more with the formatting will help with things like manuals or textbooks, that currently don't always work well on the Kindle.

I am worried, though, that for many people, it will be "enough rope to hang themselves with".
Combined with all the talk of Isaacson's new Steve Jobs biography, makes me want to read an in-depth biography of Bezos's life.
The Challenge of Building a New Web
How I helped build the bomb that blew up Wall Street [2009]
The only thing that bothers me is the movement of the ducks, it feels too "smooth", too realistic: the original was less "curvy", much more straight-line and brutal on direction changes (certainly a simple sign change on the constant directional increment when reaching a boundary). This creates a weird reversed uncanny valley effect.
Almost all of the difficult underlying technologies in Apple products were created 10-50 years earlier by other companies and government agencies such as Intel, Xerox, NASA, Qualcomm, the US DoD, etc. They are basically the world's most famous system integrator. If you still disagree - let me reflect the question: list the fundamental, widely accepted contributions that Apple made to cutting-edge EE/CS research between 1990-2010. And compare that versus NASA, Microsoft, Intel, etc.

Apple is like that apocryphal hot girl in high school who got the nerds to do her homework. Due to her popularity - it's almost impossible to question her intelligence without bringing a world of hurt down upon yourself, yet despite her good grades and high social status, she isn't generating very many fundamentally new ideas on her own.
Absolutely, including Steve's life!

Apple must plot a new "post-Steve" path and there is no reason it can't succeed.
Well written! Is Jeff Bezos really like he paints him to be?
Probably you need to read and understand more about the tech industry.
Interesting read on Bezos. Did not know that he was like that. I added Yegge to my circles since he seems to tell a story well.

I have no relevant experience with anything, but my impression is that usually people who gush on about the superhuman abilities of an individual just have a skewed perspective. I've been on the receiving end of that kind of gush a time or two and I don't really feel that it's accurate in my case, and I don't believe that it's accurate in any other case. The people that talk just can't see the inadequacies and the common weaknesses that are visible from a better-informed context.

Jeff Bezos may indeed be smart, and he may indeed come up with things that "domain experts" haven't yet thought of, but the explanations are usually much more timid and general than "Jeff is practically a giant-brained alien".
Don't worry too much about it. I know it is often said that good programmers start early, but it is not an absolute rule. Not that I consider myself great or anything, but I start to program when I was around 24-25. Now, 5 years later I am making a quite decent living of it doing interesting stuff.

Finland leads the world in education

Slightly off topic, but Finland leads the world in junior and high-school education. They have only one universities in the top 300 of the Shanghai rankings and nothing indicates that the advantage Finish students have leaving high school gives them any advantage at University. One needs to be careful about idolizing the Finish school system. While they are no doubt awesome at producing students that can do really well on PISA tests, they don't seem to be producing students who can go on to achieving academic excellence in a post-high school setting.

When you build the Hoover dam and the interstate system, yes.

When you loan money to stimulate defense contractors, non-competitive solar manufacturers and for all sorts of other boondoggles and build bridges to nowhere, no.

The problem is that the process of spending on infrastructure rarely is positive in most places for a whole host of reasons. Therefore, austerity is better because it avoids malinvestment. Doing nothing is better than wasting capital.

If you borrow money to spend, the spending has to create more return than the cost of the borrowed money, or the money is wasted. This is true in the case of the individual, the company and the government. Individuals rarely invest money for greater returns (think : new cars), companies that last always invest for greater returns, but governments have few incentives to do so.

They would much rather make a big splash and announce jobs now, than worry about whether or not they are creating something worthwhile.

The problem, of course, is always in measuring the positive returns of large public spending. But again, in times of over-borrowing, governments should always err on the side of caution.

No, some things are just stupid ideas. Just because Steve wouldn't have done them doesn't now make them good ideas. :)
I'd go further. I'd go so far as to call this article disingenuous.

Aside from a very superficial reading, the actual functionality of the page components for each app behave quite differently, and have different purposes in mind. To call these apps similar, disregards the fact that they are messaging systems in two distinctly different ecosystems.
Quitting is a little bit better than not getting in to begin with. Getting an MS is getting an MS - loads of people "quit" grad school this way and it's rare that anyone outside sees it as more than you having an MS.

Also, try talking to your graduate school about whether you can switch to a different program. This is not always possible, but it may pose an alternative to getting your ass kicked by graduate-level theoretical mechanics.
On a much smaller scale, my company's founder and CEO is viewed as one such super-intelligent alien. And for sure he is very smart and has an incredible memory. But I can guarantee you that he doesn't know "everything" at all, but this is how he is perceived by many.
I think that is a good way to approach anything in life. Prepare hard for it but accept that there'll always be people smarter/better than you. That way, you will worry less about bombing out during presentations, and be more receptive to constructive criticisms.

The best teachers I had in highschool all seemed to despise their principals, precisely because they were nothing more than overpaid bureaucrats. The best case scenario was a principal that just stayed out of the way. Of course, it's the system that made them that way. If you let principals actually make performance based decisions, then you would attract a different sort of person to the position.

By the way, the most important part of the post is where he says that Google is following through on the problems he pointed out. I'd be curious to see what (if) will come out of this - if they will expose their internal services to third parties, that will be great news.
Which school are you enrolled in? The value of the MSc is two-fold:

1. What you learn on it and the quality of the contacts you make, and

2. The prestige and contacts that come with it.

It sounds as if you don't value (1), and (2) is only worth much with an elite university.
I'm sorry; I think I'm being dense - what is their use in that context?

You seem like a very interesting character, ycalumn throwaway account.

Having read Matt's account of his actions, I agree with your reading. It feels like he came to believe academia was bullshit, but didn't want to hurt his close friends in academia. (Which is fine! You are using a throwaway account, no?)

Over time, I came to view CS academia as bullshit as well, but I am starting to reverse this view. Academia is inefficient, anachronistic, political, bureaucratic, and doesn't do a very good job measuring its own output. However, that seems to apply to countless other institutions, especially institutions with billions of dollars.

Is it possible that academia is a flawed system that sometimes has good results (e.g., new knowledge, startups, quality engineers) that would not have happened otherwise? Or have new inventions like incubators or online education arrived that make it easier to achieve those good results without the old, flawed system?
I've presented to Bezos once. It went about the same as Yegge's experience, except I didn't have his balls to laugh in my CEO's face ;)

The whole thing felt like I was meeting the President - layer after layer of aides and executive assistants, tons of security, and briefings on where to sit, where to not sit, where to stand, where to not stand, look him in the eye when you shake his hand, etc etc. It was kind of surreal.

I haven't presented to any other big-corp CEO other than him, so I can't really draw any comparisons.

One thing Yegge brought up that I also felt the same about walking out of that room: Jeff is really smart, like really, really smart. I was warned about this beforehand and spent two weeks poring over every single detail, potential feature, everything about the idea I was presenting. He still managed to come out of left field with relevant questions that none of us had even thought of. So I can corroborate that side of the story.

The comparison to Liszt also seems apt - before we were even done presenting, he'd already grokked it to a surprising degree, and was already expanding upon the idea in out loud. You could hear my manager scribbling like a madman trying to get all of this down. This might not seem especially amazing, but the Director and VP level people I presented the very same idea to had not the same depth of insight. I remember being very impressed on the spot.

I'm no longer with Amazon, and I don't particularly want to go back - but that's not due to bad top management, IMO Bezos is one of the keenest tech CEOs around. He might be the closest thing we have left to Jobs.

To balance it out a bit and not make this seems like a complete Amazon love-fest: Jeff loved our idea, he gave us the green light right away. We left that room ecstatic thinking we were about to change the online retail experience forever.

Then middle management showed up. There was political infighting about who owns the project - it straddled multiple disciplines (hence why it was so groundbreaking), and there was a mixture of both hot-potato-oh-god-you-take-it and this-is-amazing-we-need-the-credit-on-this.

The teams that were interested were unwilling to yield to other teams that (rightfully, given their expertise and domain) wanted in, and some teams we needed support from kept punting it since it wasn't in their yearly plan (put together, well, a year or more ago). The project would have provided very powerfully tangible, very high-profile benefits to the customer, but said benefits weren't part of the metrics on which our department was getting judged, so at the VP level the willingness to devote resources was almost non-existent. There was lots of lip service given - especially about how a few people were able to hack together this thing and make it all the way to a Jeff Presentation.

But ultimately the project froze. It was, actually, probably the main reason I decided to leave Amazon for a smaller, more agile startup, where if the CEO wants something done, by golly, it's gettin' done.

"Am I wasting my time trying to get software just right?"

Don't we all want to "get software just right"?

"Is it worth my time to learn Clojure or Haskell, when I don't even know what I'll use it for?"

Reasonable question. Pick a project, choose a language. I introduced Scala where I work and it solved a problem but wasn't optimal for our team. Then I introduced Clojure and that's working better for us. Real world problem solutions will help you validate your choices (there was a great talk at The Strange Loop on real world Haskell usage at a startup, BTW).

You also have to do that on a MacBook Pro running Chrome. I assume it's meant to be like that, since that's what you have to do in real life. It's called 'leading your shot'.
The model you need to work is different from the freemium model, which says you earn money by getting people engaged enough to pay for upgrades. Here you want to make the game cool enough so that players want accessories to advertise their association with it. It sounds like more of an all-or-nothing proposition to me.

I don't think, pace patio11, that the game needs to be blockbusters to generate decent revenue, but you do need your players to feel that they belong to a community of gamers. I have the impression that merchandising generates decent revenues for some B-list webcomics: you might contact some of these to learn about their experiences. Who knows, maybe you can have your game characters appear as guests in their webcomics and vice versa?

I think being a startup has advantages here, since startups are cooler than corporations.
I think this is really cool. Though I can't figure out how you managed to make a profit on the first couple... but I bought one :).

Jobs exhibited his notorious attention to detail, telling venture capitalist John Doerr that the menu of shrimp, cod and lentil salad was "far too fancy".

Attention to detail and a certain bluntness has been attributed as part of Steve Jobs' immense success, but this come across as plain rude. It doesn't matter if Jobs is right or not, it's bad etiquette to criticise another's work in this context.

Of course, I am assuming that his opinion wasn't asked, and I know nothing of the relationship that Jobs and Doerr shared.
