I have been hearing this (the apple touchpad being better than a mouse) for a few years now. I just got my first macbook pro today and I'm hating the touchpad (I prefer edge-scrolling and the tap-click on PC touchpads, although I've never loved any touchpad). Am I doing something wrong or does this just boil down to personal taste? I really don't understand how a touchpad could ever be preferable to a mouse (the mouse-wheel is a wonderful invention).
I'm apparently the green guy. Yay. I still lean towards someone who's got a good sense of the technology. Someone that labels themselves as non-technical has already missed the point. I love learning business, there's nothing I don't want to learn about running a company. I think any founder should feel the same way, especially about the technology. Learn to code or at least learn to read the code.

I understand your frustration, but the point here is famous people versus regular. Not western vs eastern culture (for naming conventions). And I think its ok for famous people to be able to go by their public persona or stage name.

If non-technical founders are advised to try to code, technical founders should be advised to try to do sales/marketing/ops too. Just do not put too much expectations in either way: it will probably always be better to find a co-founder, not just to fill in the abilities gap, but also as emotional support / motivator / POV enriching...

I'm glad to see someone on here doesn't think this is quite so sensational. The only relatively new thing they've done is launching the native game from the browser plugin - and I also wondered if a custom URL scheme would not work instead (and be simpler).

In terms of game manufacturers it is light years ahead of what they've done before. I just don't see why the author is quite so blown away by it..
"Busicom actually owned the design of the 4004 and had exclusive rights to its use, but eventually agreed to let Intel sell the chip commercially"

That bit is not widely known.

Also, the article skips over the 8085 (a popular remake of the 8080), and does not mention the original 8086. This was the full 16 bit version forerunner of the 8-bit bus 8088.
Great slides. This really resonates with the experience I've had recently too. I'm a grad student doing a dual-degree MS in CS as well as MBA. A lot of MBAs don't really "get it" when I talk to them. I'll be sure to pass this along. Thanks Alex.

"And honestly, the fact that we've come to this indicates just how completely Google has failed at being an open-source citizen."

If you can download the source, distribute it, modify it, collaborate, and install the modified version easily on your device; then it's a quantum leap forward from any other mass-market mobile device.

In my opinion, that's huge. Right now, google is offering you the ability to actually know what your phone is doing (a huge issue when it comes to government or corporate surveillance), and puts everyone on a level playing field when it comes to writing applications and improvements, and it will likely speed up the convergence of networks so that everything is data (thus eliminating the separate billing for voice and SMS).

Eventually there will be more open, collaborative development. But let's have some patience -- PC's took a long time to be liberated (even now, many people think linux is "not ready for the desktop" and it has a small share). What google is doing is bringing linux to everyone on a new platform and already getting real market share. That's no small achievement.

Facebook runs largest memcached cluster in the world and largest sharded MySQL installation in the world (which they use as a key-value store since it's hard to evolve schema otherwise). So, essentially, quick updates are tremendous amount of duct tape and hand-crafted code to make it work more or less correctly.
Not that I've seen. Most technical people I know are aware that they lack the requisite sales skills.

What I have seen, however, is a moral judgement about the relative merits of what skills the founders bring to the table. Specifically, I have known many technical people who perceive sales and management as of lower value than technical creation. Consequently, they privately scoff at the notion that the person doing the "hobnobbing", "gladhanding", and perceived-to-be-commodity sales activities gaining equivalent equity or compensation as themselves.

Out of their sense of "fairness", some of these people go it alone or hire out rather than seek an equal partner in their endeavors.

I know this sounds highly anecdotal( and it is ), but I've seen it enough that I suspect it's at least somewhat widespread.
I see. Thank you for sharing that with me.

High IQ linked to drug use
I am doing async on even the initial requests. If you land somewhere 'within' the site the path will be passed from the backend router to the javascript router and then triggered on the client side.

the decision to be made there is do you want to load all the objects (models, views etc.) or have an init where it is all either loaded async or from the localstore cache. I went with the later so that the html page can be static cached.

this has taken me a while because there was a lot of js to write - for eg. a sync replacement that uses localCache and the server smartly, that responds in async with 'ok' so the view can be updated rather than waiting on the server, and then triggering server updates every x seconds or when the user closes the window (this all has to be cross-browser, which is the hardest part)

a node.js framework that does all this would be great, while I am using Python atm I think these types of apps are very well suited to run on node.
> I would prefer no coercion at all. Let people join a political entity if they wish and let them leave if they don't like how its going.

They can already do that.

I don't understand how the current system inherently prevents any of what you're suggesting. What you are describing is a problem with the people, not the system. What sort of system would account for problems with the people?

This legislation is indefensible;

Of course it's defensible: we're protecting American jobs...US film industry alone is worth $billion$...good American jobs...stemming the tide of pirate warez flooding our shores...could anyone make Star Wars today with the economic threat of piracy blah blah.

I think SOPA is terrible legislation and that copyright creep is a danger to our long-term competitiveness. But the entertainment industry is a large part of the US economy and has some legitimate concerns about how to protect its cash flow in an age where the marginal cost of copyright infringement is asymptotically approaching zero. Naturally the industry is going to argue for an extremely narrow interpretation of property rights under such circumstances, and copyright radicals don't help themselves with rallying cries such as 'information wants to be free' which sounds suspiciously like welfare socialism for couch potatoes. So far the best argument from the reform side is 'make better content and people will willingly throw money at you' which is on a par with demanding that government or captains of industry create more jobs or cut spending or pay more taxes.

It takes little account of the producers' economic dilemma, which is unreasonable, and in policy arguments the least reasonable-sounding participant usually loses. Notice how the best public wins against the RIAA and its ilk have come as a result of unreasonable overreach, eg the contention that LimeWire users owe RIAA members $75 trillion in damages. SOPA can be sold to a largely indifferent and ignorant public as a reasonable response to the objective fact of industrialized copyright infringement. As you might have noticed, the public is not too hot on free trade and related concepts at the moment, because unemployment is so high and wage growth is so low. So the Techdirt crowd end up sounding like the digital equivalent of Occupy Content - even where people may agree with it, there's a certain air of entitlement to the whole thing, the public has a limited appetite for the Chicken Little story, and the ongoing failure of the sky to fall (ie of innovation to halt despite the lamentable flaws of the copyright and patent systems) eventually causes them to stop listening.

This is rapidly turning into a philosophical argument, and we're probably not going to agree about methods. My question to you (and indirectly, to Techdirt) is this: what/where is the alternative to the IP status quo that will increase cash flow and jobs? A nice simple easy-to-understand alternative is a necessity, because although I personally believe in creative destruction and the marketplace of ideas, 'leave it to the market' is not a winning argument with the general public right now. What's needed is a positive alternative that offers an obviously bigger payoff than SOPA.

I don't know if anyone has ever pointed this out to you before, but the first law of computing platform wars is this:

A platform is either growing or it is dying.

It's true that there will continue to be work in Flash and Silverlight and AIR and XAML and Java Applets and Fortran and COBOL and Deplhi and Windows 3 and OS/2 and MSDOS and VMS for years yet.

The real question is are new developers coming to the platform? If not then new programs will slowly stop being written it, and the only work will be legacy. The good thing is that you can make good money doing that if that is what interests you.

Not have a real-name policy. Identity is too complex a concept to be reduced to simple data structures, no matter how much us engineers desperately want to.

If one is concerned about impersonation, attack impersonation - impersonation can and will happen even with a strongly-enforced real-name policy (name changes, anyone?). Empower support to deal with impersonation on a case-by-case basis.

Open-endedness in this sort of enforcement can be risky, but it's certainly better than the "baby with the water" policy the way it is right now.
Here's how to avoid that: when you realize you're watching for that reason, go on Wikipedia and read the entire plot synopsis.

I have found 1.5 harder to follow, but pretty interesting once you figure it out. The heart of it is the proof (if you can call it that!) of A = LU on pp. 34-35. It is quite beautiful - just one simple idea. But I have a question. From p. 35:

Both sides of (7) end up equal to the same matrix U,
and the steps to get there are all reversible.

What is the importance of "and the steps to get there are all reversible"? I don't see how the argument uses this fact.

How would you measure the utility of something? I think our definitions of utility are not the same. I see utility as ANYTHING one derives usefulness from. Utility == value. Value is subjective. You value Zen. Taking the time to appreciate nothingness IS valuable to you, therefor spending the day meditating has utility to you.

The short essay isn't really about declaring activities to either be productive or wasted. It's about learning to identify "empty" activities that waste time with the false promise of being productive. Whether your time is wasted or productive is a personal matter for you to weigh against your own goals and values.

P.S. My apologies to anyone who might take offence to my poor understanding of Zen.
I also have this question. Their website seems to have fallen to this trendy 'minimalism' fad in which they expect that everybody visiting their site already knows what their product is.
nah.

He'd pull up your actual Facebook profile and then show it alongside the fake profile that was created when you 'thought you were doing a person search', and suggest you can't have got it right the first time and wrong the second.

I can't take a newsflash seriously if they don't even link to the original study.

Are the socioeconomic levels of these higher IQ individuals controlled? How exactly did they select their sample for the study? And they mentioned marijuana, cocaine, heroine in one breath, as though those are the same drug. Surely different population groups use those drugs to different extents.
Not a lawyer (though at some point I should just say screw it and go to law school), but there's really no mapping as far as I know.

One of the things to remember about civil lawsuits are that the parties are generally treated as if they are on equal footing, and the standard of proof is "preponderance of the evidence", rather than "beyond reasonable doubt".

The criminal justice system is setup to mitigate the advantage of the government over the accused in a case that could result in loss of freedom (or even loss of life). The civil "justice" system is there to resolve disputes between theoretically equal parties in cases that mostly come down to money.

In practice, of course, our adversarial system gets thrown completely out of whack by that same money, but for the moment, the law is what it is.
Ultimately Adobe gets its money from Flash licensing. Adobe knows that serving as a video distribution vector is a fragile business and that "marketshare" could disappear overnight quite easily. What matters most for the viability of Flash is not the fact that it's ubiquitous, nor the fact that it "does more" than the competition. What matters is the popularity among developers.

And Adobe has clued in to the fact that Flash development is well past the inflection point on the way to decline. They could ride Flash into the ground or they could change horses when they're still doing well. If Adobe lets another player dominate marketshare in the new ecosystem while they are distracted with squeezing the last drops of blood out of the Flash turnip then they would miss out on a huge opportunity and suddenly be in the worst strategic position imaginable.

Right now, before Flash is well and truly dead, is the smart time for Adobe to transition and try to plant their feet firmly in the territory where it appears web development is heading (html5).
in my experience the more client-side state a web page keeps, the buggier it tends to be.

I've noticed that too. You still need to load a fresh DOM from time to time. I'm sure future frameworks will have some sort of a semi-refresh where all of the static elements stay the same, but the framework runs a sort of cleanup on the DOM.

Again, that works just fine in cases like this. Though note that the solutions for this site require either server-side scripting or just completely disabling the search functionality.

However, many sites use more advanced JavaScript features which do not necessarily allow for graceful degradation.

(Also, most other mobile browsers of the type you allude to consist of barely more than WAP; only the simplest of non-interactive websites has any hope of working with them. And many sites simply won't have any of those users in their target audience.)
This is exactly what I observed when using OCaml: Although it provides exceptions, I almost never used them. Most things were a lot simpler to implement via pattern matching (http://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/oreilly-book/html/book-ora016....).
Does anyone have any good examples of a substantial web app using this architecture that doesn't require purchasing a video game or creating an account? I'd like to take a look at Firebug (actually, Chrome developer tools) and experience the snappy performance the author talks about.
I've seen this too, and it hurts all parties. But I can sympathize with the tech guy---sales and management are other words for value extraction. How is a technical person to be sure they're not the extractee (i.e. getting screwed)?

I think the best answer is what mguillemot suggests---a tech cofounder should learn a bit more about the sales/marketing/deal-making side. He can then gain a better understanding of what the sales guy does, how hard it is (or isn't), and he'll be more respected by a career salesman, just as an MBA who knows how to code is much more trustworthy to the average technical person.
You don't need to involve the server in generating the UI at all. You can have a static index.html, that bootstraps a javascript environment from static js files, whose first order of business is to contact a web service to fetch the initial content and configuration as JSON data. This makes all content static except that which is truly dynamic, which offers amazing CDN and caching possibilities. The JSON data can be cached in local storage, for easy offline support without constantly revving manifest files.

Once you get at that point, the dev experience starts to look a lot like traditional desktop client-server app development. Except desktop apps are built using components instead of templates, components that combine rendering and behavior into one encapsulated entity that you can treat like a black box. There's nothing preventing a web app from using that same architecture. In fact, ExtJS does just this.

But I don't think it stops there. I think we're going to get meta-configuration languages like mxml to send the layout of these components to the javascript environment, which will, essentially, mean that we're building another browser inside the browser. And so all software evolves until it can render a web page, including web apps.
I think he is complaining that he can write code in a natural form and then GHC's runtime makes the necessary calls to the event loop to make things happen as declared. This is annoying because all the hours you spent trying to work around Python turned out to be a big waste of time. Or something.
