Apple is the largest buyer of SSDs in the world, but their largest supplier has been Samsung, a company they've been increasingly at odds with in the phone business.

In one day, it is announced that Samsung has sold this business, and that Apple has purchased a competing SSD supplier. Just like that, the shape of the market shifts dramatically.

Thanks for the feedback. Sorry about that, but it inherits from the fact that none of Three.js' demos resize. This is because doing it is a lot more fun than it looks: not the entire DOM canvas has to be changed, but all the rendering engine behind has to be recreated (camera, scene and so on). I'll see if I can make it work.

>* Nobody wants to run this centralized website, not even the government.*

That's not true, actually. Media companies will want to run this organization to protect their interests, and tech companies will want to ensure it's run fairly to protect theirs, while free speech groups will want to make sure that society doesn't suffer as a result of both parties just working to earn a profit.

You've done a fine job to point out a few potential problems. It would be more interesting to hear ideas about solutions.

>Q: Can a merchant charge me a fee to use my MasterCard card? Can a merchant require a minimum purchase amount to use my MasterCard card? A: The answer to the first question is almost never;

Technically true, but merchants can offer a cash discount. It's effectively the same thing, with the key difference being that they can lower their stated price if you pay in cash, but they can't raise their price at time of purchase if you choose to use a credit card.

>the answer to the second question is not ever.

The FAQ is out of date on this point. Visa, Mastercard, and AmEx all started allowing a $10 minimum purchase last year:

Spanish Tapas is a delicacy that everyone wants to relish. Moreover, it’s easy to prepare and nice to eat. Every family in Spain eats this before starting a meal and after those tapas they take Spanish desert. To know more about Spanish Tapas read this article.
To set yourself up for success with minor changes in routine is brilliant. While I'm all for retraining ourselves to be more productive beings, I wonder where the limit lies.

For example, I need a period of brain-less routine for an hour to recharge after a long day at work. Something that breaks the pattern during those times wouldn't provide that mental rest.

So how far can we practically push the balance? Would love to hear personal anecdotes.
Garden water features ideas are designed for the ultimate comfort 
Garden fountains are designed for the ultimate comfort and relaxing atmosphere in the garden. The stone built fountains are best for your big backyards as they are very strong against heavily rain and cold. They are very effectively and beautifully designed for the decoration of the garden. Most of the expert designers are making these exterior decorative products.
Call me idealistic, but if we can manage to do so without impacting companies creating real value or enabling real expression, I see nothing wrong with shutting down companies whose primary purpose is distributing free copyrighted material at the detriment of those who create it. Artists are more important to me than companies who almost exclusively facilitate piracy. There is all kind of grey area in between that needs to be protected, but speaking exclusively about these two groups - I care not at all about companies who profit off the backs of others and provide no other value. Their right to operate here, or anywhere, is the least of my concern.
For me, Minecraft had a perfect gameplay flow. When I first entered the world, I was lost and scared. Monsters came out and destroyed me. I hid.

Slowly I learned how to acquire and build resources. I found an island and built a house on it. Monsters were no longer a threat. I made a farm and had all the wheat I needed.

I started caving not for survival, but to acquire extra resources. I turned those resources into large builds, both aesthetic and functional. I built a minecart track into my mine shaft just for the convenience. I built art on my island despite the fact that nobody else would see it. There was a huge amount of freedom.

Minecarts used to act very strangely, to boost them you'd put them side by side. I consulted the Wiki to figure this out, and learned about redstone at the same time. I started building larger-scale contraptions with it, and made a "challenge map" (I had never seen one before at this point).

Multiplayer came out around this time, and while extremely buggy, it allowed us to play survival with friends. This hit at the perfect moment because up till that point, I had a full understanding of the game and my interest was beginning to wane. Multiplayer rejuvenated my interest, and I worked on some large builds with friends. All vanilla, of course.

And now it's what, a year later? Minecraft has had some very large updates lately, and while I'm not as enthused as I once was, I'm still looking forward to see what the Mojang team and modders are able to do with the game.
Because it is an ongoing and serious issue that hurts startups as well as women and minorities.
Agreed, and if anything this makes it harder to aim for something like holidays on the moon.

If it costs the same to try and build a spaceship as it does to create the new social fad then why not reach for the stars (literally) - but when it's so much cheaper to try and start the next Facebook, and you know that starting the next Facebook could have just as much potential to make you far less people will take the riskier option.
It seems to me that Android would be the easiest to switch away from. Not so much for any technical reasons, rather because of the mindset most Android buyers (I know) have.

Android is the default choice if you don’t want an iPhone. It’s the default and generic smartphone. All people who have Android phones I know don’t care about the OS at all. They may like the phone (Look at my nice new Samsung smartphone! Isn’t this HTC phone cool?), they know nothing and don’t care one bit about the OS.
Ask PG: When is it too late to start a startup
Just saw, Y Combinator's Graham Discusses Start-Up Industry on Bloomberg. It was great.

I couldn't exactly grasp, what you've meant. Too late as in age or market?

Thanks.

Sentiment Analysis library in Python

Where then? As far as I can tell, there's no sensible way to extend the functionality of printf()/scanf(), and compilers special-case their format-strings.
A winter of discontent in the web design world?
Very cool, and a lot more involved than I would have expected.
Not really, what disappears is the Facebook "potential" to make money, and the valuation is done thinking at this possibility. Now if you look at it in this way, billions of people using Facebook can be monetized probably much better in the long run compared to selling a new HD from time to time to millions.

I tried Omni Focus (I was in the beta programme, and I had been using than Schoonover's Kinkless GTD before, from which Omni Focus derived) and didn't like it. After some time I discovered Org mode and this works for me.

I think the Org mode journal style just fits the way most people plan much better than the GTD ramified list approach. You have a file per project or maintenance domain and you jot down your priorities, interleaving tasks where they are relevant tasks. Then Org mode's tools put together the lists you need when you are getting through your tasks. There's no need to internalise a complex external model, a step that clearly many people fail at when they try to apply GTD.

More generally, I find that when I started using OSX, I used a lot of the Apple-esque programs but over the years I've mostly migrated back to software that runs on Linux. OSX has increasingly become a wacky UNIX with a nice GUI to me. The superbly integrated Parallels is the only non-bundled software on OSX that I would really hate to live without.

I store the schema as SQL instead of the .rb file nightmare. Here's the script to do it quickly with Postgres & bypass the Rake slowness:

#!/bin/bash

root="/path/to/your/code"
user='postgres'
db='dev'
schema="$root/db/schema.sql"

pg_dump -U $user $db \
--schema=public \
--schema-only \
--no-owner \
--no-privileges \
--file $schema

pg_dump -U $user $db \
--table public.schema_migrations \
--no-owner \
--data-only \
--insert \
>> $schema

Then a trivial `dropdb`, `createdb`, `psql < db/schema.sql`

And then a small script with 4 or 5 curl calls can get enough data into the database to drive some tests.

Nasa space telescope finds 'twin' of Earth orbiting a distant Sun-like star
A rocky planet the same size as the Earth has been discovered orbiting a star like our sun. It is the first time a planet of this size has been detected in another solar system. Scientists have hailed the technical achievement of detecting Earth sized ‘exoplanets’ - the technical term for planets outside the solar system - as it increases the chances of finding life-bearing worlds.Although the planet, Kepler-20f could have a thick water-vapour atmosphere, its surface is believed to be too hot for life.

> And there have always been people saying we know enough now, or it's getting harder so lets stop now. And some have, and many haven't and that's why we still have progress.

I'm not a scientists or anything close to that, but I agree to most of what you sad. What I wanted to add is that there's something extra to be sad about the "let's stop now" part.

I'm talking about things like human cloning and, I don't know what its exact name is, "organ harvesting from human clones", let's name it that way. I know that for the most part this is still SF-material, but we're getting there with very big steps, and I think a serious discussion on sensitive subjects like these which would also involve the scientific community must take place rather sooner than later.

And before anyone accuses me of being a "religious bigot" or something like that I must tell them that I don't care at all about religion, but I do feel that scientists themselves should stop burying their heads in the "we only do science here"-sandy dunes, and confront the real world.

Another big issue is, the programmers are getting nearly none of that wealth they create through these efficiencies. If I save the company $2m/yr that's the same as making them that money. I've made the company $2m/yr richer than they were. But I'll be lucky if I get a $100k bonus. Executives, in contrast, will capture a lot of that newly created wealth.

I think there's three groups. There's "smart enough", which is your fairly high-output productive person who gets shit done and may be somewhat dulled to the fact that the world is insane. (I wouldn't call them optimal but they're very handy to have around.) Then there's "too smart for your own good" which is as you and the article describe, seeing all the BS everywhere and feeling paralyzed and recognizing your own limitations (whether for how much BS you can put up with or even sharp intelligence barriers--it's not always too-big-an-increase in difficulty per se that kills a Lisper in college, but a dramatic increase in the amount of required BS to plow through to get anything done or get an acceptable grade). I don't think the monetary future for that kind of person is necessarily bleak, though, at least in the present times. There are so many startups you can join if you're smart enough to do even a little Lisp programming on the side, or you can start your own, you can also "float around" pretty easily and if you're lucky you'll get caught with a winner.

But then there's "John von Neumann" smart. I'd even lump the modest-in-comparison John Carmack in that distribution (not at the top end of course but I think he's earned a spot there), Dennis Ritchie and John McCarthy too, along with a bunch of other relatively modern figures like Linus. These mythical people are worth at least 20 of the first group, and maybe 5-10 of the second group on the second group's good days. This third group can make the second group's lives even more depressing, since someone in the second group is smart enough to see and understand what they might have been if they had only slightly better brains.

Why constrain the definition of an ebook to something analogous to ink and paper?
A great release in my opinion, and a brand new web site, too.
This article rings quite true with me. The pointlessness of school resulted in me barely attending class at all this quarter; thankfully I did pretty okay this quarter. The kind of thinking we're talking about is neither a symptom nor a cause of depression. Rather, both are wrapped up in the personality of the thinker.

When I'm depressed, my thinking is skewed. I admit it. And here's an important point: if rational reasoning leads you to one conclusion and emotional reasoning suggests something else, then doesn't that mean that your meaning of life depends on how you feel in a given day? My emotions aren't predictable enough for me to accept that.

It is my opinion that, based on their conduct past and present, Microsoft's existence and power is a net loss for the world. Google's past and present conduct lead me to the opposite conclusion. Naturally, I will treat these two entities differently.

Hypothetical future scenarios based on some rather extreme assumptions I do not agree with are not going to change that.

You are, of course, free to reach different conclusions, but the level of hostility and condescension I've received here for voicing my opinion in response to a direct question is disturbing to say the least.
Cool stuff!

It looks like you're just rendering plain cubes, I'd be curious to see how much performance could be had by doing things the same as Minecraft (batching only the visible surfaces into larger 'chunk' meshes). I've been interested in WebGL for a while, and it'd be interesting to see how practical Javascript is for a fairly CPU-intensive game like Minecraft.

I've always thought Minecraft was an interesting programming challenge (I made a little clone of my own a while back (with portals, for whatever reason): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qk_KjtbHUIs).

I actually think #2 is more of a hacker symptom rather than limited to the weird Lisp Programmers. Someone here put it fairly bluntly a while back in the form of a "How to tell if you're a hacker" quick quiz. At the end the answer was something like "If you intuitively tried to 'game' the test, you're probably a hacker. If you don't even know what that means, you're probably not one."

I think it's a useful skill to sharpen and definitely not limited to passing tests. There are diminishing returns to worry about for how much you want to try and game something, but having even a basic intuitive feel for it is pretty useful in "the real world".
