Oh it's almost certainly disinformation to some extent. He's not really discussed it at all (and definitely not under oath) so it's hard to draw any real conclusions about whether or not he's a rapist.

However he's almost certainly a complete cock to people on a regular basis. There's a lot of evidence for that. Just because you are totally awesome at one level of social discourse doesn't mean you aren't also a complete bastard to people on a personal level.
This is great... It was a more: Is it possible or fundamentally impossible?

The X220 is a poor candidate to complain about. It is their ultralight, ultraportable model. If you are unwilling to sacrifice specs for size, weight and battery life, then it's the wrong model for you in the first place.
I think it's wholly appropriate : To put up a warning flag around some of the major non-tech life events that the site's main demographic will be making decisions about.
Sorry what i meant was, even with the same brand and manufacturer, might there still be slight differences in viewing angle depending on how well each individual monitor was made/calibrated? My point being that, as cool as the idea is, mightn't it be impractical if you have to test/calibrate every monitor that's used, versus a manufacturing process that takes the usage into account from the beginning.
I think his point is not that everyone who goes to jail for political reasons is good, but that you can win politically despite facing/doing jail time.
This is definitely cool, but I still hate shitty LCDs. I bought 2 separate Samsungs that said they could pivot, but both (being made years apart) still had such horrid viewing angles that even looking straight on while vertical would make that distortion effect and make me feel sick.

I fought Samsung for false advertising using every method I could find and eventually they just gave me 2 24" IPS's and a 22" that can do 3D. The IPSs are really nice, but you can fry an egg on them they run so hot.

Using one of those shitty monitors if I get to the sweet spot where the text is invisible, if I move a hair up or down I can see the text :S
"There is plenty of empirical evidence against this from countries that actually have introduced minimum wage laws."

So you are saying that an employer would hire someone that only produces $96 worth of value per week for $106 per week?
That's just a silly example I came up with in 5 seconds.

Of course you can design a proper delivery/control system.
It's not ironic, this was one of the points for me "writing them off". Wikileaks reponse to inquiry about their financial matters was basicaly "none of your business" and since then I see them as Assange's personal PR tool, nothing more, despite the claims.
That's a better example. My explanation was wrong, but it's still an exception in the context you provide.

Looks cool. I'm downloading now, but is there any chance of an ipad version? The art looks like it could be great with a big screen.

Edit to add comments on the game itself:
Overall nice look and feel. The motions are nice, and the movement is very responsive.

A few suggestions:
-I wasn't sure of the rules when I started. How good a hand did I need to create? Any five cards is technically a poker hand.
-I'd suggest using the four color playing card system--diamonds are blue and clubs are green. Much easier to identify flushes that way.
-The text on the main menu sign looks a little funny, like something is off with the anti-aliasing. It could just be an artifact of playing on an ipad in iphone mode.

I did like how the instructions popped up the first time each new playing piece appeared. That helped get me started. One sentence of text with each pop-up wouldn't hurt.

Overall this looks fun! Best of luck to you guys.

The problem with sending money via bitcoin at the moment is that it will likely be worth significantly less tomorrow than it is today, and less still the day after.

I wonder if this may have come a bit late to be useful - I can't see that colour inversion effect on my laptop monitor even at fairly extreme angles, so I'm not really confident that it's going to work on here. The advance in LCD technology may prevent this seeing any serious adoption, although I do think the "unread emails" one is pretty nifty. I'm not so sure about the banking one since I'm very unlikely to do any banking with someone sitting nearby, even if I knew a technology like that was in place.

I personally have found, research or no, that shifting my sleep schedule later has deleterious effects on my state of being the following day. I do not sleep less time (I wake later- my internal clock is very reliable about extracting 8:30-9:00hrs of sleep when alarm clocks don't intervene). This holds whether or not I am keeping a regular sleep schedule, have curtains, when I last ate food, etc.

I find I am most effective when I begin sleep at ~11PM.

I'm really trying to imagine where the "what's up with that" would even come up in any of the good interviews I've had. Who has time to waste with that? The best interviewers I've ever dealt with had me on my ass with algorithms, distributed systems, and concurrency questions moments after starting.

I agree, asking "where'd you go to school" isn't particularly offensive.

Having kids will change you, no question. You would throw yourself under a bus to save your kids, absolutely. But let's not forget that you are still an individual with aspirations, ambitions, needs. Even after your child is born. Some people are better than others at repressing that side of their identity, instead evolving into a seemingly completely altruistic being. I couldn't.

The first year with my first born was hard but still magical (plus my wife stayed home with him so it helped a lot). After that, time to be used for myself was coming back, restful nights... Piece of cake.

Then I pushed for a second child (I always loathed the idea of raising an only child for some reason). My wife had resumed working by then and it was understood that she would go back after a couple of months of staying home with the baby.

That's when it became insanely painful for me, trying to protect my newly returned freedom (after my first born became more independent) while carrying 50% of the child rearing load with a newborn and a toddler.

I had to surrender (my self lost) for my own sanity and the well-being of my children. The lesson I think I've learnt is that to be as "successful" as possible at raising kids (whatever that means) you have to let go. A lot at times. And hope for the best.

"Photographs will be telegraphed from any distance", "Man will see around the world", "Grand opera will be telephoned" and "Telephones around the world" are all quite close approximations, all based on universal access to communication technology.

The "University education will be free to all ... all will receive free eyeglasses and medical care" part was a depressing read - in the US we're probably further from that now than when the article was written.
I played the free version, and here are my initial honest opinions:

First the good IMO:

1) The graphics are very nice.

2) It's simple in that you can just press Play and play. I like that a lot.

3) It's very smooth and feels polished.

4) The game idea itself is very interesting and made me want to play.

Here are the things I had a problem with:

1) I didn't know how to control my cards by dragging when I first started out. I tried tilting and touching in different spots. But got it figured.

2) It felt like it started super slow until I learned to drag the cards down into place.

3) The first time the dynamite showed, I was a little upset. I was playing a fun game, now there are these strange things happening. It would be nice to be able to turn this off.

4) It got super hard really fast. I started playing strictly based on symbols. Hearts, Spades, Clubs, Diamonds. I couldn't mentally chase down other poker hand possibilities once it stacked up a little.

5) The controls got tough because it was as if I could sometimes drag cards upwards, sometimes I could not.

6) I'm on a iPhone 3GS, and it crashed every time I tried to play the "Levels" mode. I would touch 1, and it would boot me out to my home screen.

=====================

In the end, number 4 above is what stopped me from buying the game. It just got so hard so fast that I couldn't find a way to get any form of long-term enjoyment out of the game. The Levels didn't work, so I didn't get an opportunity to try them, but hopefully I will someday.

I wish you the best of luck, I'm just one opinion, and the big thing to remember with these mobile games is not to jump to the code and graphics every time someone says something bad. I used to do that and it turned out that the loudest people were the biggest complainers and all the people that liked the game quietly like it. I now prefer to keep my happy customers happy because the unhappy people aren't coming back anyway - for me anyway.
Thanks. Maybe I'll take the plunge then.

I don't see why one needs to refute a text to point out that polemics written by authors who eschew the use of conventional economic methodology is a less than ideal introduction to economics for the uninitiated. Its like pointing out the writings of Seventh Day Adventists aren't a particularly good introduction to Christianity, particularly when it comes to understand what Catholics believe in.

I find the behavior of most bikers in traffic to be dangerous, obnoxious and rude. Bikers often say that they should be treated on par with cars (in matters of passing, etc.), but they themselves operate somewhere between vehicles and pedestrians, combining the worse characteristics of each. I have observed many bikers not to stop at stop signs or red lights, because, you know, they're for cars, jeopardizing pedestrians.

This sums up my own experience with cyclists. I've decided that they just don't belong on the roads. It's worse for everyone involved.

I have no problems with cyclists getting their own bike lanes, but until they do, I just wish they would stay off the roads entirely. I hate dealing with them both as a driver and a pedestrian.
Here's what I don't understand at all about Cassidy's argument.. is there a single free parking space in the city that's been displaced by a bike lane? Every bike lane I've seen and ridden on is right next to a bunch of parked cars.

Secondly, as far as increasing while they're currently under-utilized, I'd say that there's an argument for increasing to the point where there's a solid network over most of the city (which we're about at now). It's hard to say oh we don't need a bike lane on the UES because the west side lane isn't always full of bikers. Additionally, during rush hour those lanes certainly are utilized, I'm never the only one on a bike on a given block's length of bikelane during rush hour.

You must have absolutely amazing eyesight. 2800x1800 is entirely too many pixels on a 15" screen. I could see a resolution that extreme on a 27" iMac, or possibly even a 21.5" iMac, but on a 15" screen, no way.

Resolution for resolution's sake is pointless if its not useable.
Erm, no. The X200, their previous model, has a better 1440x900 screen. Screen resolution has nothing to do with portability, there's nothing to sacrifice. All previous X series models had the high resolution option, now with the latest model it's just not there.

And it's not only the X series that doesn't have good screens anymore.

I have 5 ThinkPads, all of them high resolution, and all of them have a higher resolution than any ThinkPad sold today. And I own two X series models.
"But does this not make sense to anyone else? "

Most of what he says doesn't make sense to me. I think he's a blowhard protecting his job at a hedge fund and trying to drum up business, but what do I know? My prediction: his hedge fund will tank within 120 days.

Every time I've borrowed $10,000 I've paid it back with interest. Apparently in the circles he lives in, nobody pays loans off. That could be a problem.

There are bits of truth in there, e.g., "Europe`s reached its debt limits." , "you reach a point where you can`t anymore[sic] get more debt", "So we`re in a deleveraging". Well, blow me down! What insight! Where do I sign on to be a hedge-fund manager? This guy can be replaced by an 8-ball:

Outovate.co (winner of Lean Startup Machine) is looking for a tech co-founder.
We're building a platform to do for innovation what Twitter did for news reporting: give the power to the people.

We recently won the Lean Startup Machine competition here in NYC by getting a Letter of Intent to use our platform from a certain $80 billion consumer products company, on a Sunday morning, 36 hours after forming the company.
Now we need to add a badass developer to help us build it.

Requirements:
* God-mode web development skills
* A fondness for network effects
* Desire to disrupt the living heck out of not just one industry, but the process of innovation itself (consumer product innovation for starters)
* Preferably NYC based - we're working out of Dogpatch Labs

If that's you, or you know that guy (or lady), please email dave@outovate.co. If that's not you, please ask around!

Friedman's approach is more scientific. He asks a lot of "Why?" questions to begin his discussion of various issues. His approach always has the strong feel of being scientific and falsifiable, and most importantly data driven.

Economics in One Lesson is also a good read, but to me it comes across as a bit more dogmatic... the examples are a bit less falsifiable, etc. In general, it's not the sort of book that is likely to be quite as convincing to a skeptic as Friedman's.

C&F (unlike some of Friedman's other books) is very welcoming to those with different ideas, and focuses on the goal of the discipline of economics and does not get caught up in political issues. I found the opposite tone in "Free to Choose", for example.
Thank you for doing so. You've got heart.
How do you expect a high-performance laptop with high-spec parts to get incredible battery life? (Besides simply waiting for power management to continue to improve)

It wouldn't make sense to ditch the high-spec parts, either- that's what the MacBook Pro is for. If you don't need the top-end bits, get an Air.
Loved the names
while i think the cause is great, i can't help but feel a little sad that it has taken this event to spur everyone in the community to a more philanthropic direction. many of us here are looking to become rich and successful and forget that in many ways, we are already very wealthy.

honestly, i think it's a good time to think of all the positive things we can do with what we have - including using our technical knowhow to make the world a better place for those less fortunate.

It seems like the software isn't very good at determining the difference between a "voting ring", and a small-ish subcommunity that's interested in a specific technology niche.

For myself, as a node developer, articles about rails, python, erlang, and iOS apps aren't so interesting. I don't upvote them. Articles about node, politics, system programming, http, and JavaScript are interesting, so I do. As it turns out, a bunch of my friends are the people who write node-related articles, and often post them on Hacker News, and then tell me about it.

I'd be surprised if I wasn't one of these alleged puppets. Of course I'm more likely to vote up something that someone mentions to me in IM, because I have to see it before clicking the button.

I can see how this looks like sock puppets. You've got a few dozen users that always upvote the same articles from a few dozen other users, and are much less likely to upvote other articles. I'm not sure the best way to know that we're all humans. If there were fewer people using/excited about/writing about ruby on rails, then the behavior would appear very similar, I suspect.

The term "gaming" is really vague. It's not at all clear how "this is something interesting that I'd like to share and discuss" is much different from "this is something that I'd like to get people to look at." It seems to me like the ultimate purpose of a site like this is to be gamed in a particular way by a particular population.

What the Nodejitsu guys did was more extreme than just asking a few friends to upvote your stuff. The software catches and ignores most of that automatically.
An Open Letter to the First Bench Toppers by a Last Bencher
I said you'd be a fool to discard resumes that don't have "Education" on them, but the actual subtext of what I'm saying is "I don't believe you", just like I don't believe that after hiring hundreds of people, you've never seen someone hired that didn't have an "Education" section on their resume, as you intimated upthread.

Now, saying I don't believe you is also pretty rude, so: I'm sorry if that upset you. Getting upset is a reasonable response to rudeness.

As I don't believe we're actually having a conversation in good faith, the simplest solution to this problem is to stop replying to your comments, which is what I'm going to do.
Why would anyone sign up? No SSL and no security rationale talked about anywhere within the site. DNS isn't just for fun and games, the site doesn't exude much confidence in security as a development component.
I disagree about the reinvention. It may just be my advancing age showing, but when I try to buy a Christmas present for my cousin it is rather annoying that the majority of the sets seem to be Star Wars or Harry Potter which to me rather defeat the point of Lego, especially since the pieces tend to be a lot more specific to the particular set than I remember from my youth.

Technic has been around for 20 years or more, since I had that back in my childhood.

I agree that overall it's a great toy and a great brand, I just think that they're going to have problems maintaining their current revenues if producing your own became practical, especially since it's not at all cheap in a store.

Really? People lie about being Eagle Scouts? That says about as much about your character as lying about Mensa membership says about intelligence.

Presumably, that never happens on resumes with real career track records; if you have an established career, the upside to lying about being an Eagle Scout is relatively microscopic. I probably wouldn't "yea" an inexperienced candidate simply on account of their Boy Scout record. I have to wonder what these people are thinking.

Ah, you are talking about a lack of a high-res option. I was not aware they got rid of that.

If I had to guess, I'd bet lack of demand killed it off. Most people seem comfortable with the standard resolutions of today, and if I recall from my X61, the high-res screen was an extra $200.

As for portability, I believe a higher resolution screen tends to result in a small hit on battery life, and the back of my mind is telling me they tend to be bulkier. Grain of salt though.
