If Marco Arment was serious about Android, he would most likely give up control and outsource development to a talented Android developer. Maybe even one who is employed by Google... I'm sure Google would be more than willing to work closely with Marco, as they did in creating Twitter's app, as Instapaper is a brand. Twitter was supposed to open source the code to their Android app as a condition of the assistance but that commitment got conveniently disregarded.

I wonder why someone from Google's Android team does not officially and publicly extend an offer (as a rebuttal) to help develop Instapaper for Android.
I really liked your comment and I'd like to add my own perspective, which is similar.

My ideal as a developer is to project the same attitude to clients and bosses that I would like to have. It's not exactly my current attitude, but it would go something like this:

If I know how to do something
"Yes, I can do that, I've done that before and I'm familiar with the steps."

If I don't
"Yes, I can do that, I just need enough time to figure out how."

Abstracted to general product marketing
"Yes, we can meet your needs with our current product or figure out a way to do so at a cost of x to you"

Any time that last statement turns out to be false in retrospect beyond some threshold (lets say 10% of the time), that's a sign of overselling. I guess the threshold is where some subjective fuzz comes into play. Likewise, the cost accuracy is important too (time also matters, but I'm rolling that into cost).

Integrity is about avoiding such statements when impossible or when needs are extremely high. They can still be said with large costs (I can build you Google maps, but it would take over ten years). A lot of this derives from Patio11's comment collection.

Well Phil, you'll be missed. I've been following MVC since the beginning years ago and love the direction things are going with it. I only just recently had the opportunity to jump into the world of Git.

Interesting. Atlanta security startups have significant pedigrees. It's the same in chip companies, where founders are older and many trace their roots back to Fairchild. Among consumer internet companies, most good founders have not been part of a successful company before.

Hey SOPA, cease and desist!
There will still be traffic lights, bottlenecks, and for the foreseeable future there will still be conventional cars.

Driverless cars will still be limited by physics (their size and how fast they can accelerate). If car routing algorithms deliberately route cars to places where the traffic is slow (because they can loiter, saving on parking while using little power) then the traffic jams will be worse.

If we rebuilt the road system specifically for driverless cars maybe we could eliminate traffic jams. Otherwise...
Such a tragedy...

Forgive my ignorance, maybe some pilots can shed some light on this. In the article it mentions that even though the plane was flying in "alternate" mode, my understanding is that it still has limits to what inputs can be given.

That said, even if autopilot is off, why wouldn't the computer have emergency functions to negate strange situations like this? When would pulling completely back on the stick while losing altitude rapidly ever be considered within the range of normal?

if somebody has worked most/all of their life in a low-education unskilled labor job (the kind that are most likely to be disrupted by computers), who says they even have the ability to become a robotologist or something very intensively knowledge based?

It is a win-win. China gets to be first (and Thorium reactor products cannot be easily weaponized), US gets to use China as a proving ground, and then the US regulators themselves are pressured to change their attitudes, which then creates a market for TerraPower.
The "official Instapaper app" designation does come with one significant carrot: users of your app wouldn't have to pay the subscription fee that others have to pay in order to access the Instapaper API.

I recently saw something pointing out another wrinkle about taxis -- per mile, their engines go between hot and cold a whole lot less, so there's less stress from thermal expansion. Once they're on, they pretty much stay on for at least the driver's normal workday.

I don't know how much difference this actually makes, but common knowledge amongst the people I know seems to be that the most stressful time for a normal engine is starting up.

"Or, you know, spend a day knocking together your own blog in rails."

Understood you're exagerating for effect, but underestimating the complexity of a process like "blogging," over-estimating how much of it can be "simply" reëngineered, and dismissing the collective work of tens of person years is a real issue. I've witnessed that attitude cost businesses dearly.

Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.
Just because you do do something, doesn't mean you didn't spend a ton more resource than was necessary. And because you spent more resource than needed doesn't mean you delivered the best possible result.

Just so you know, the content of that page is frustratingly slightly too wide to display on my 1024-pixel-wide netbook screen. (Using Chromium/Chrome on Linux, with Helvetica, it comes out to 1009 pixels.)

This means (a) I have horizontal scroll bar added to my browser window, (b) I need to scroll a bit left/right to read some of the text, (c) it is easy to accidentally "wobble" the horizontal scroll bar when trying to scroll vertically using multi-touch gestures.

If you were to shrink the width just slightly your site would be much more comfortable to read at 1024 pixels wide. As it stands I won't read the long-form letter because of the annoyances above. The bits I read sound interesting.

Instead of finding out strategies on how to fly under these circumstances, why can't the plane change its course, if they anticipate the flying route to have these conditions. How about running some reconnaissance drones in the popular routes if they suspect a bad weather and want to check out. Or try out better weather monitoring methods and tools on these routes.

Edit : Ok my mistake.On reading again, the article states "Unlike other planes' crews flying through the region, AF447's flight crew has not changed the route to avoid the worst of the storms. ".
This book isn't an argument against documentation. Until the recent advent of DCI there was no programming paradigm that brought the algorithm to be a first class citizen.
Tomdoc looks great, but it only describes methods or classes. Documentation will not tell you what will happen among a network objects during runtime, DCI will.

CRM is interesting stuff. It got popular in aviation after the crash of United 173,[0] where the crew was so involved in a serious landing gear problem that the only one who noticed that they were running out of fuel apparently didn’t want to be rude enough to insist on dealing with it before it was too late. In that case, it was generally interpreted as too much respect for authority: the junior crew member didn’t want to distract the captain by raising the fuel problem too often. So that can go both ways.

United 173 was only a particularly good example of exactly what you point out: many plane crashes happen when individual crew members miss simple things that others could easily correct but don’t. After flight crews got CRM-based training, the incidence of this kind of thing went down measurably. But as I was reading this transcript, it was eerie to see how little they were applying it. Why were they practically silent? If they’d each volunteered a little more information about observations, intentions, and actions (“I’m leaving the stick full forward”), they’d have been fine.

Anyway, I think CRM has some pretty clear applications to normal business environments, but especially to startups. The jumbled panorama of interlocking and quickly developing options confronting a small team of coders is not unlike an aviation emergency, though at a slower pace.

"What do you say?" -- I say Android 4.0 "save pages for viewing later offline" feature. I can't comment on the 50% cut as I don't know how much your API provides, but as for marketing I'd imagine I could target the "instapaper android" long tail and be done with it? Maybe not.

Cultural web design: Korean Google is different
Google acts differently in Korea. Search results open into a new tab when clicked, rather than replacing the current page.

Your premise is more accurate, you just need to replace IPX with 3GPP standard protocols (vendors dont make their own protocols - everything is standardized), and instead of radius/dns (which are used in telcos nonetheless), its more likley HLRs,CSCFs, MMEs, or PDN gateways that can bring an entire network to its knees, or a poorly implemented mobile backhaul solution
Perhaps, but as someone else noted, preferring something in the hardware range Android supports is a point for Android (when compared with iOS, WP7 is a more complicated question:

I'll also add that preferring Android hardware isn't one thing it can be one or many of all sorts of features:

- Larger screen (or smaller, though this is less common)

- Hardware keyboard (slider or Blackberry/Treo form factor)

- LTE (and faster HSPA+) support

- Removable / upgradeable battery

- Expandable / removable storage

- More flexible ports (e.g. HDMI, USB host support [control your digital camera!], etc.)

- Other niche options (e.g. NFC, gaming controls, stylus support, etc.)

Not to mention the dimensions that the iPhone only caught up on with the 4S like:

- Faster CPUs / more cores

- Higher-resolution camera

And on and on.
Who did you incorporate with? Usually you can ask them for these type of forms (stock grants, offer letters, contractor agreements, etc).
I took that quote from that presentation. He hates all OO code, so it's not specifically Ruby that's the problem for him, but object orientation. His point, however, is that being able to reason about your program is important. That is also a driving factor behind DCI. OO programs often hide exactly what happens among objects because we mostly see everything from the perspective of a class, rather than a perspective of being among the communicating objects.
Instapaper is not just the app. It's the supporting web service and brand too. It's not 50% of a new thing. It's 50% of instapaper for android which is nothing without instapaper.

This is a lot more akin to a sober driver with a car that constantly blinks "service" and not realizing that they're stepping on the gas instead of the brakes, and it's not pedals, but a joystick, and it's a blizzard, and you can't feel simply by inertia which which direction you're going.

This may be true, but most Android devices ship with some kind of weather widget built in (often on the home screen) in a much more visible way than the iOS weather app. You'd think that would mean there would be more demand for the iOS app.

Another unintended effect of driverless cars is more fuel efficient practices. If you have shared cars, then you can just order the car for your needs. No longer will people be driving huge SUV's to work when the only reason they needed the SUV is for that weekend trip to vermont. Recreational cars would be less common too. If you're not the one driving, the fun of a sporty car tends to be reduced.

I think a classic example is:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avianca_Flight_52

The plane crashed because it burned all of its fuel in a holding pattern waiting to land in JFK. When the flight engineer noticed this, he was afraid to tell air traffic control, who he believed was "higher up" than he was (and he therefore had no right to question their decision). The result was 65 dead people.

There are several cases where a lower-ranking person has noticed something that the captain has not. And when they didn't do anything about it, people died.
