I think that is beside the point. If I'm understanding the author clearly, the only thing he knew before the ride completed was that there /was/ a surcharge, not the amount he would have to pay. It's difficult to do a cost-benefit analysis without knowing the cost up front. I agree, if I saw that I'd have to pay 20 dollars more than normal because it is a holiday, I'd choose to pay it, but there's a certain threshold that I wouldn't cross and uber seems to be (again, if I understand the author correctly) intentionally hiding the surcharge from its users to avoid the possibility of users deciding that the surcharge would put the price above that threshold.
(1) It's not pure CSS3, there's JS involved to handle events. Sure it's small, but it's not.

(2) The only real gripe is that the animation is not accurate to an actual iPhone. After the unlock there is a delay between the lock/title moving away and the icons moving in. Both items clear the screen before the other items enter. Also there's a fade on the lock screen items.

Demos like these are cool if they are well done, and correct. Otherwise they feel more like a gimmick. Having written webkit animations, all the added effect (the fades and timings) could be done with CSS3. So if you're gonna do it, do it well.

Now after the criticism, good job. I like that all the icons and font and screens are all HTML/CSS objects.
How a Bad Online Reputation Can Kill a Brand 
Acme started out with high hopes. It built a website (but only one), which ranked pretty well. In fact, it ranked right at the top of a Google search for “Acme Opportunity Group.”
Do you have the original tracks from the recording? The mix could use some help – the EQing of the vocals pulls the low mids out and makes them sound hollow and the reverb is overbearing (and low quality). This may seem like minutia, but the quality of your father's voice is such that a rawer, more organic sound would, I believe, make it genuinely come across as more authentic. (This is in contrast to his guitar playing which is fairly precise – it actually might work better if it was a little sloppier.)

Just for reference, I think a mix like these might get closer to bringing out the subtleties:

http://grooveshark.com/s/Company/2h3knu?src=5

http://grooveshark.com/s/Old+Man/1MhNJ8?src=5

Those are both really dry, imprecise recordings, but that's appropriate for the material.

I agree with the others that the fundamental character of this experiment is pretty different from what Louis C.K. did. But your father is a good songwriter, and I think you might get more milage out of releasing the source recordings with Creative Commons licensing and encouraging people to mess with them and report back. It'd at least have the potential for more of a feedback loop than you'd get just posting them as-is.

Though it's a good point I don't think it's valid counter-argument to the moral imperative "we should provide good education to our nation's children." Globalism may be around the corner, but until then, "our" nation's society is the one "we" are responsible for.
This.

EVERYONE (or at least a lot of people) thinks that once they get funding, that means they'll be able to attract the right talent that just knows what to do. That is seldom true. If you can't attract talent to the team before funding, getting funding won't change much other than being able to access a bigger pool. And as many here can probably attest, attracting talent is incredibly difficult as it is for many. Attracting specific talent if it requires specialize in-depth knowledge in a particular area is even harder. Don't rely on VC funding as if its the magic that makes your engine tick.

That said, I'm also extremely concerned by the fact that you refer to fund raising as VC's taking the bait. They are an extension of your team and they often play a much bigger role than just writing you guys a check. You should reconsider this if that was the way you viewed VCs (angels too).
This is highly recommended according to the docs(http://nodejs.org/docs/v0.4.12/api/vm.html#vm.runInNewContex...): "Note that running untrusted code is a tricky business requiring great care. To prevent accidental global variable leakage, script.runInNewContext is quite useful, but safely running untrusted code requires a separate process."

So IMHO, it's a good start but is not quite there yet, I'm not an expert in security but I don't think just because you are using V8 and a separate process model doesn't mean you will achieve the same level of sandboxing that Chromium provides. In fact, Chromium relies a lot in several security mechanism of the OS:

Windows: http://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/sandbox

Linux: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/LinuxSandboxing

OSX: http://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/sandbox/...

So if you just want to keep your globals clean, running the code in a separate V8 Context is more than enough, I did it once for a javascript library that was corrupting one of my global types(https://github.com/firebaseco/safe_datejs).

We are in a Cloud era, if you really need to run untrusted code on the server side you should be using Virtual Machines instead of a processes, or even better, create a web hook for your web app. I like the initiative but I'm having a hard time trying to find a use case for this.
Not exactly true - for example I can force-quit apps using the multitasking bar.

The VGA is a DMA controller built into the board, so all graphics were just modifying the framebuffer.

We spent 6 weeks getting the game to work (~10-15 hrs/ week). This was all in C targeting the PowerPC and included effective double buffering for graphics as well as all the game logic.

We then spent another 2 weeks getting interrupt driven sound to work. This was also in C, but was valuable because in order to understand the nature of the generated interrupts we had to understand the underlying bus architecture.

We had 3 weeks to do a basic hardware module (a slave on the peripheral bus that powered some 7-segment displays and generated interrupts when switches were pressed) and then to do the creative portion (which was another slave).

Finally, we built the Audio DMA controller, which took 4 weeks. The Audio DMA controller was by far the most challenging because the rebuild cycle was 20 minutes (terrible EDK) and debugging was difficult.

So I'd say about 50-50.

It was a pretty cool course. No homework, no final, no text books. Just the project and all the documentation we could get our hands on.

XSLT is typically used to translate XML into HTML. Sure, you could use CSS to style XML, but I believe the point isn't to argue the semantics of the markup, only to say that some sort of markup is required in order to use CSS.

There are some indications - if something is getting location data in the background your location icon stays on in the top bar.

There's definitely no indication for "chewing up all your data in the background" though, but thus far I've personally found no need for it. An app that's chewing up data in the background is usually fairly obvious - Skype, Pandora, etc.
Good data point. Is that the primary component of off-peak demand, I wonder?

I suspect the author of the post is glossing over the fact that technically he was informed, he just clicked through the "Surge Pricing / are you sure you want to pay 5x" screen without reading it closely, figuring the email had already prepared him for a slightly higher fare.

I infer this from the fact that the post focuses on the email and Uber's pricing decision in the first place, rather than the notification or lack thereof, and then at the end slips in: "transparency is not just a vague email or a short notification".
Accessing foreign website in Republic of Belarus, now illegal
The n-grandparent was not trying to discredit the facts of the article. He was discrediting the thesis that it is useless to close all applications.

The facts of the article were correct.

The thesis of the article was not correct.

The facts listed in the article said that some applications are able to run in the background.

Some application is causing battery loss. Not 'all of them', like people who are actually mistaken think, but some, like people who know the facts think.

I don't know how to explain it in a clearer way. The n-grandparent is not a cargo-culted ignorant who thinks there is a need to kill all the apps. He has one or two apps that are abusing background permission, but doesn't know which one or two. There is no 'anecdotal misunderstanding'.

You yourself agreed that the concept of a broken background app can coexist with the facts of the article. But you are conflating the thesis, the theory, with the facts. They are not one and the same. Insulting the thesis is not an attempt at discrediting the actual facts.

I apologize for ranting but redundancy can sometimes help make a point clear.

Some might consider it so, but for the most part it's standard practice in the industry to put the benefits to the user on the page, and let them find out about the negatives later after they've invested time and energy into it and are less likely to say no.

I just checked out Facebook: "Your Facebook Timeline: Tell your life story with a new kind of profile. Learn More"

I read the learn more page, there's nothing about violating privacy laws, switching to the timeline so that ads are more compelling, etc. Only after you've signed up to Facebook do they tell you that they've created this "free" service as a way to get your personal information so they can sell it to advertisers, or use your likes to sell stuff to your friends.

I've still never been told by Facebook that they violate PIPEDA and European data laws.

Went to Google, no mention of using your click stream and browsing habits to sell you unwanted ads, and worse, no way to turn them off.

Seems like it's industry standard practice to offer a "free" service so that you spend your time giving data to a company so they can sell it to advertisers. Apparently these companies have employees to pay and servers to buy so can't offer you a completely free service with out getting something from you.

Do I care? Not really, Facebook, Google, get my data, I get a service.

I flag anything as spam which meets one of the following criterion:

1. unrequested

2. no email opt out (looking at you AppSumo) and not accepting mailinator

3. requires more than clicking an unsub link and perhaps an extra button on the loading page. I will not enable JS to do so.

I have marked several mailing lists, like Postgresqls, as spam. I tried to unsubscribe from that particular one for 10 minutes then gave up.

If you are sending emails that people don't want, even if they asked for them in the first place, you may as well be spam. I hope my actions eventually lead to admins being more selective with emailing.
Question: where did get the map and terrain data from if I may know? I used shapefiles from OpenStreetMap but they aren't as complete as I thought they are.
But student body is not held constant, not even ethnically. Even within the "white European" demographic bucket there's huge variation among ethnic groups - most relevantly regarding attitudes toward education itself, teachers, and relative levels of funding or social priority given to either. Treating US whites the same as European whites is wrong on a whole bunch of levels. For one thing, we're not all white. For another, the American population is drawn from specific subsets of the European population, and has experienced different patterns of population change since then (particularly evident wrt Jews with their known unique educational profile). Lastly there's the fact that even if non-whites aren't included in the sample their effects are still felt because many white students still share schools with non-whites, and not a few of those "white" students in fact have mixed heritage.

Of course, treating ethnicity - and particularly just white vs. non-white - as the only variable other than the educational system itself is itself offensive. One might also consider the effects that 300+ years of distinctly US culture and history have had on attitudes toward education, teachers, or the relative social/economic priority accorded to either. Or the effects that wealth distribution within the US or wealth differences between the US and other nations might have. The US student body is simply not the same as the Finnish one, so if Sanandaji really wanted to isolate the effect of the educational system then he'd have to adjust for more than one other variable.

Alternatively, he or you might take note of the fact that the current Finnish results are the result of change to the system while holding demographics relatively constant. What works in Finland might not work in the US for all sorts of reasons, but claiming that it won't work specifically because of ethnic makeup is both intellectually and morally dubious.
It's incredibly deep seated. We had a dog that we got through an animal shelter, and we knew that it hadn't been treated well by its former owner, but didn't really notice much for the best part of a year.

Then winter came, and one day I took him out while I was removing snow from the driveway. The instant I put on gloves he totally changed. He started circling me at high speed (he was built to run fast) and would snarl and try to bite my hands. Took the gloves off, and he'd instantly turn back into the most loveable dog ever. Back on, and the process was repeated.

This being in Norway, getting aggressive towards people with gloves on during winter was a bit of an issue, but at least once we knew we could keep a extra solid grip on the leash while walking him at winter. Thankfully he'd need to be quite close to someone before it was an issue.

Giving some benefit of the doubt, I really think the author was thinking "Done without images", not "Done without JS" when he was writing pure CSS. That change in perspective makes the title less misleading.

I for one think it's a hell of a job. I'm impressed with the work involved, especially in small things like the positioning of the clouds on the Mail.app, and the loudspeaker design.
There's absolutely more to this video than just that. I've been pondering the whole "chicken & the egg" predicament for my launch; just as recently as earlier today. I've yet to find/hear a good recent startup story about going 0-100 in a heavily 2-sided business. A lot of the bigger, hyper growth startups (Yelp, GroupOn) seemed to single marketplace launch. It's great to finally hear of someone doing a large launch and the tactics they used.

Ember-rails

Uber approached this like a bunch of math/econ geeks when they should have approached this like designers. Economics assumes that people who are rational, operating under perfect information will make optimal choices.

The problem was that the interface did not give people the information necessary which meant that sub-optimal choices were made and this is clouding the debate around surge pricing. If Uber had presented an interface that said "this ride will cost $143, do you want to proceed?" it's likely a lot more people would have hit no, the demand would not have shot up as high and it would have been a much more reasonable 2x - 3x surge.
This was bound to happen in some fashion eventually--it would happen to any company. The question is what will Google do about it. If it's a mea culpa I feel just fine about it. If it's a "no comment" one can hardly ignore the fact that they've gone down the road of filtering your access to information for the worse by making it less open and therefore less informative.
