Actually, his primary example of "simulated learning" is more modest than you put it. Essentially, researchers really did and still do want to have computers as a tool for performing experimental simulations and using computing for communication. Computing has been "marvelous" in advancing what scientists have been able to in the past couple of decades, and Apple is still very prevalent here today.

For example, even today the "workstation" is still quite common in labs. Where I work, I see a lot of 8-core Mac Pros. Huddled away under desks are old G4s and G5s. What do we run on these machines? MATLAB, Mathematica, heavy Fortran compilers, expensive microscopes, and almost-real-time experimental setups. In other words, all stuff vital to scientific experiment and computation.

Yes, he broadly lectured on "higher learning," but it is no surprise to me that the Web was born on a NeXT computer at CERN and not anywhere else. On the other hand, it is true that we have not seen the "simulated learning environments" or other AI-esque dreams from the 80s materialize in modern computing. At least not as we thought we understood them: OpenCourseWare, Khan Academy, and Stanford Online Education have begun to revolutionize the "learning" half. And as for open publications, well, the arXiv is 20 years old now (nearly the age of the Web!), the NIH requires open access 6 months after publication, etc. We're definitely not there yet, but I think we're on the right track.

If there were one thing though which would mark a great leap in progress, it would be Open Data. The incentives don't really exist today for open data---data can be like a trade secret to be hoarded for publications, and getting ahead in academia is all about getting there first before you get scooped. We need broad, systemic changes.
Here's a landing page from Trello which made me sign up: http://trello.com/. It tells me why I need them, what they do, and, lo and behold, a video demo right on top.

I signed up with trello right away. I haven't used them since, but at least I signed up. &! just makes me go ?!.

What's the name of the startup? It sounds very cool.
I don't doubt that Rogers embellishes things like that. I'm still happy with $30 for 6GB.

I'm equal to any "power" user, I work on the road and tether daily while using the iPhone for basically everything. I'm still not getting anywhere near 6GB. You'd literally have to use the iPhone connection as your main internet source to get above 6GB. I'm not torrenting or streaming a TON while on my phone, but I watch mobile streamed hockey (they are at 400 kbps) fairly often.

HD video is indeed more then 300kbs - but are my Youtube videos on the iPhone 1080p? Hell no. Even netflix for mobile is severely compressed and still looks OK.

You may use more then 6GB of mobile data a month, but as I said before, I'm willing to bet you're in an extremely small percentage there.
What does this even mean? I assume that you're talking about in a moral sense because of the value judgement you appear to have made.

Of course, when I say 'good' I don't mean in the moral sense. Imagine you were to design a way for people to keep score and they had to use tangible things. What would make one tangle item better than another? Here's a quick list I came up with...

1. Easily transferable. Money fulfills this because it can be transferred electronically. The physical good need not even exist. Money when talking about it as a point system is strictly an abstract. Put another way it is a stored value that can later be redeemed for big macs or Jane Austeen books.

2. It must be difficult to acquire. Money you can't just print (Well you can, but it is mostly worthless). The difficulty makes it more of a way to keep score in the game of life. There needs to be a way to prevent someone from adding to their score arbitrarily.

3. You must be able to keep score at small enough intervals. Keeping score by buying big macs becomes unproductive when you get into the millions of dollar range. At the same time keeping score in the form of luxury cars becomes impossible in the thousands of dollar range.

That's why I said money is good. Not in the moral sense that those who have more money are better people or some form of Prosperity theology. Just that money has many of the traits needed to provide a way to keep score.
That sounds like a neat idea. I'd be happy to contribute occasional article and/or an EC2 instance that the blog could be hosted on if needed.

> Landing page optimization is an art

Maybe, but it is also based on very simple common sense rules, like "if you want your words to be read, put them is a font size that is neither too small nor too big for common user at common screen distance with common screen size".

Opening this one landing page in the morning, the words are so big, it is really hurting my eyes. Closed the page. Same with ifttt.com, by the way.

That is a real benefit on the big mac side, but in my current value scale it can't compete with the hours of delight, the self-improvement, the aesthetic pleasure, the deep insights in human hearts, etc. I am rewarded with when reading, say, Pride and Prejudice.
I'm not sure about European tel-cos, but i can tell you of a north American telco that is a virtual government monopoly (no other private company has comparable rates and service), Sasktel, they have an interesting history.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sasktel

They were the first, or one of the first companies in north america to offer: Video-On-Demand, Fiber to the home, IPTV, HDTV over IPTV, HSPA, ADSL, etc.

This is while servicing a province with roughly half a million people and is larger than every American state minus Alaska and Texas. While at the same time serving hundreds of small communities with full speed access.

This is at the same time as offering plans and service that is much better than what you can get in the surrounding provinces that have cities that have more people than the whole province.

In some ways, privately owned companies that only have to compete with 2 or 3 other entities is far worse than a government monopoly.
I like it; I do agree that there are many blogs hidden somewhere with gems in them. Meanwhile, when posting on HN, you can use the 'text' inside of the url and write the article in it. It's not nearly the same; but it's tweetable and can get feedback/exposure to the community.
Or, you know, just use a login name with a password? Why do identities need to be connected by default? Who really thinks making up a name and password is too much trouble? Are the Hacker News and Reddit models really so bad?

I think you can see this in real world. Look at Linus or David of 37 Signals. They have created at least millions if not billions of dollars worth of value (uncollected).

As a quick experiment with my girlfriend:

Do you know who Linus is? => Uh, No.

Do you know what Linux is? => Yeah, it's your system.

Do you know what IBM is? => Yes, it's a computer company.

It's pretty clear to me that outside of our nerd/geek bubble at the society level those that make more money are cooler.

Love the idea. You should talk to the guys at kapost.com. They're a platform for group blogging and have lots of the features you'd want for managing a bunch of different editors on one blog.
You need to make sure http://mealmogul.com/ goes to @ as well as the www subdomain.
I created a site called learnfrom.it which is coming down tomorrow since i got busy with other stuff. But if you guys want i can put it back up so people can contribute. Aside from being busy it was hard to get people to contribute so if people volunteer i'll keep it up and change the cstegories so its tech focus.

I applaud you for having a business model. As well as one that does not involve ads. That said, I can't see myself (or anyone else for that matter) spending $10 a month (per user) on the current version of service. Basically, you've implemented a relatively basic 'wall'.

There really just isn't enough there to warrant spending that much money. I think you need to spend some more time on adding features than repeatedly posting to HN as a way to drum up business and feedback.

You could set up a Tumblr blog in about two seconds. And Tumblr blogs are set up for group collaboration; it's easy for multiple people to submit articles. You can make one or multiple people admins that approve the articles. Tumblr doesn't have a native commenting system, but it just takes a few clicks to install Disqus.
A key problem with ebooks is the lack of instant differentiation. It's all a sea of equality, no discernible difference until you in fact read it. This vs, say, my main bookcase (I've 26) instantly discerning deteriorating comic books from gold inlay leather bound classics ... and the key difference that my favorite works are in that case while lesser & disposable volumes aren't. This vs my ebook collections where everything is on what amounts to one set of racks differentiated only by retailer.

I mention this in context because my biggest concern is my children can with ease peruse a large collection of fine works worth their time and consideration just by the fact the titles are in a limited physical space, while the ebooks are mere bits in a dense sea thereof. Atoms are important for ensuring others can find them.

For those that don't click, Adobe published the (public domain) book and ran screaming away from the position implied by the parent. The file had some "don't read aloud" metadata that Adobe claimed was for devices and then removed in a subsequent version.
Rand appears to be, or at least to have become, a domain expert in SEO.

I don't think they're intentionally hiding it or going out of their way to do so. At least, I don't see it like that. The quotes you pulled were probably part of a sales pitch to get users on board and is probably representative of how they actually do things. The way they make money base on what dantiberian posted has no bearing on the pitch they're making (assuming all of these are true).

If they make money by charging brands, what does that have to do with you as a consumer? I don't think they're hiding it, I think its just a separate approach.
Focusing on what to do is fragile. Removing negatives and learning what not to do is often more valuable in a general sense.

Health is a good example of this. "Doing" could include, for example, taking a drug. It may solve the surface problem, but its side effects are unknown and could have negative consequences that are harder to correct.
On the other hand, behaviors can be removed (i.e. remove carbs, remove soda, remove sugar, etc.). Maybe their immediate effect is less apparent but they are systemically more valuable for everything and far less is open to going wrong.

This story was heartbreaking. How frustrating it is to be bound to our own shortsightedness, and worse - to know it.
Try reaching out to some people in your space (but not competitors). You would be surprised how many startup founders are responsive and willing to help. Obviously it depends what you write and how many you write to, though.
I noticed that too.. that's classic disruptive innovation. Expand doward into a market that previously couldn't afford the technology, forcing your competitors to ditch the low end and concentrate on the more profitable high end.

In a medium of strictly words, "show, don't tell" means that you should use your words to illustrate something, not just describe it.

In a visual medium, I really think that a bunch of screenshots does exactly what "show, don't tell" is trying to counter; you're just 'visually telling', not 'visually showing' (if you'll allow me to bend words). This landing page shows me that this product is something I want to try.
Research in Motion employees, other electronics companies. How about just business people? People who've worked for foreign cell/telecom companies who want to move back to Canada. IT experts who've worked with the infrastructure. Lawyers in the industry who work for private law firms (biased, but less so probably).

There are plenty of people who would be a better choice than someone who's worked for an incumbent player.
I don't use Facebook so I couldn't get very far. And I like cooking, but I wouldn't be keen to host absolute strangers in my house - I'm guessing that's the idea?

I wondered if you could have something like this but the host would cook a dish if they got a minimum number of takers and perhaps pick-ups were an option/encouraged/forced. So there'd be a tipping point to make a meal happen. If I already have a broad social group, but I want to make a bit on the side from my cooking, it's barely worth the $x to risk having some nutbag show up. But it might be worth me cooking twice a week for a minimum of 10 people each time, and charging $8. Then they drop in at a certain time to eat or pick up their containers/bags and away they go.
moving my question to ask all parents - is it the technology or specifically books? do your kids use your ipad/computer for other things?

I think it was more along the lines that Lucas didn't/doesn't understand the eastern philosophies he was trying to emulate, only copying the trappings (wearing robes, taking on apprentices, practicing asceticism). I think he needed a white knight and a premise, and the rest of what we know about Jedis just snowballed from that.
That's you. Sometimes I need to pull down a giant repo.
The ads almost have to be irrelevant, or there'd be accusations of bias. An ad for Google above the Bing article would cause a lot of criticism.

It could be kept tasteful - something akin to how NPR does it, it could be a bit of text up the top right... "Wikipedia is sponsored by [Google Chrome] and readers like you".
>(e.g., picking a toolset, or outsourcing a project, or simultaneously fixing resources, scope and schedule)

My company had non-developers make these decisions and we paid the price. We were an org of PHP and Python developers "forced" to switch to C#/.NET (At the request of two technical-ish, but non-developer VPs) It really sucked because the teams expert knowledge got wiped to zero and we had to spend several months learning new tools while also keeping our original deadlines. At the time, I jumped at the opportunity to explore something new. Ultimately however, it was bad business and continues to cost the company money as nothing we were doing received any direct or indirect benefit from being done in .NET. The only difference was we worked slower and produced more defects.

I think it goes back to that article/rant a few weeks ago about touchscreens and similar things being a transitional technology to hold us over until our technology gives real tactile feedback instead of a flat glass surface.

> At least we don't have death sentences where I live.

Are people more likely to die in jail than outside? If so, you have death sentences, you just don't admit that you're pulling the trigger.

Death penalty opponents claim that there are about 10 innocents who have been executed. (The actual claim is less, but 10, or even 100 suffices for our purposes.)

The vast majority of people who die in prison are not executed. Instead, they're killed by prison life, including life-without-parole. Unless you want to argue that the innocent are more likely to get death sentences than other sentences, you're stuck arguing that most sentences don't end in death. While true, that isn't enough to make the case.

Note that folks who get a death sentence get far more review and the like than folks who don't.

The numbers are pretty straightforward. Folks who yell about the death penalty killing innocents are either innumerate or care about the death penalty, not killing innocents. There's nothing wrong with the latter, when done honestly.
It says that NOWHERE. I understand it's a weekend project, but there's absolutely no explanation of what Überzet does on the landing page.
(Yes, Rentech being in finance is what I was referring to.)
Excuse my direct language, I should've phrased it more clearly as a thoughtful guess. Seems like an obvious bet too.

At some point in the past they hadn't broken into the phone market, or had a music store, right? Think of it a bit like how Google created AdWords/AdSense alongside their search engine.

I got a 4s the other day and outside of the US at this point, Siri is pretty basic. Can't ask for directions. Can't find a business. Too many things get directed to a basic web search which I could've pulled up myself in the time being. Didn't take too long to realise how quickly they could monetise the experience my charging for third-party involvement, for data, etc. "When's the next SportsTeam game?" "April 1, do you need tickets?"

Apple is a company. They're there to make money. I can't see how they could not take that route if they handled it very carefully.
We didn't post this. I was a bit surprised and it made for a completely unexpected and a bit stressful day.

No doubt, it's a nice surprise for anyone to be pinned to the top of HN for most of the day, but we haven't put out a press release for &bang for a reason: we have some things we kind of wanted to do first.

As far as price goes, businesses spend money on software that they use when they get value out of it.

We've bootstrapped our way from just me to a team of 15+ and while we carefully watch our budget, we don't handcuff our team when it comes to hardware and software expense.

We subscribe to web apps that run $15, $25, even $45 per month per user. At the end of the day, all of those combined are a ridiculously small part of our budget and we don't even think about the expense. They help us get the job done and that's what we care about.

With &bang, we're going to work hard to know our customers and deliver them value by making it easier and more fun to work together efficiently.

I absolutely appreciate your sentiments and believe me: we have a lot more we are excitedly eager to do with this product. :)
“It’s very common to do component and system-level testing…. That’s very typical in aerospace, ” says Alan Lindenmoyer of Houston’s Johnson Space Center, who has been working with SpaceX since 2005 as manager of the agency’s Commercial Crew and Cargo program. “But to actually put a vehicle together and do system-level testing of the rocket is not. That’s a level of rigor you don’t typically see.”

So they do unit and integration tests? Sounds thorough...

I mean, it's a simple mechanics problem right. Have you ever tried to lie down and read to your kid from an iPad, or kindle. It's not easy. Also, kids like to use books hard. Reading to them selves, kicking them around a room.
