Your missing why he is doing this. He is acting like a professor giving a lector in that interview and being redundant. The important take away is how to talk to the slowest person in the room or in this case the million+ people watching that interview.

PS: I wish more scientists would act this way when interviewed. Global worming, simplest explanation for the 100+ million direct and indirect measurements of atmospheric chemistry and temperature we have taken that fits in with the basic physical laws. Don't agree with it? How do you discount the discrepancy of absorption spectrum as you change atmospheric chemistry etc?

On the other hand if you had taken your app on your own domain, you don't have to deal with any of these limitations.
You are completely right for things that don't involve real-time video (like games do).

A 1/60 frame skip rate sounds like nothing important, but your eye will see it easily and it's instantly annoying. It's not subtle at all, and not something you can write off. Everyone will be annoyed by it and then your product will be doomed.

(Edit) I do however agree that the frame rate is not that important. 30 fps ought to be enough for anyone. However, it has to be a really really smooth 30 fps; all the frames need to come out exactly 1/30 of a second apart. Not realizing this is where a lot of people go wrong. A smooth 30 fps looks much better than 120 fps to a human eye. A game framerate that isn't an integer divisor of your monitor's refresh rate is also a disaster (since it means the display will be skipping frames).

I can’t stand it. Judging from the transcript, at least whoever did that seems to feel the same. (Since humans are not terribly dissimilar I would be willing to guess that actually many other people feel the same.)

That’s all I’m saying.
Grab Video from Screen
Do you want to grab video from screen to make tutorial video? Do you know by using what to achieve it? This passage will introduce some solutions to deal with it.
Then you're not making sense. Do you want to be able to fire pregnant women, or do you want to be able to refuse them employment after they return? That would be a horrible thing to do, perhaps it's good that you're not an employer then ;-)

it looks like this is (going to be) for making self-contained android applications, packaged, and distributed through the market (possibly?). ASE as it stands requires ASE for your code to run, plus it has to download the Python interpreter separately. This project (a part of a multitouch multimedia framework project) is aiming to do this all a bit different and it seems embed the entire interpreter. i'll be excited for it!
Make the changes required to fix the single biggest gripe you have gotten, and relaunch under a new name.

Some tough love for you: Quit being so negative and complaining about hard work failing. It's a part of entrepreneurship - things will go wrong. How are you (especially if you are a CEO or founder) going to pivot and survive despite the hardship?

Dust yourself off, take a deep breathe, deal with the problem in front of you and address the core issue.

Your product plan made the assumption that a million users would use it locally. This part never happened, so how are you going to fix it?

This isn't only a tech problem, but also a marketing issue. You need to address how you will get a lot of users in one geographic location using it in order to make it really thrive.

You have to find the strength in yourself.

Your mental health is #1. Hopefulness and camaraderie can enable you to solve seemingly impossible and overwhelming problems - but seemingly impossible problems won't give you hope or camaraderie. (by "mental health", I mean analogous to physical health - being fit and in good shape). Posting this shows you already know it.

Getting critical mass is a ordinary standard marketing problem. See "Crossing the Chasm". It's about niche marketing: it suggests ways targeting a very specific subset of users, and then adding another niche ("bowling alley") and another. It's not about geographical niches, but you could apply the approaches to "geo-niches".

Though, it also might help your app if you target like-minded niches of people, e.g. based on sports, or cinemas, or plays. Or follow facebook's beginnings, and target local universities or schools...

Marketing is just as much work as creating the product (if not more), and it sounds like you need some recuperation time if you want to tackle it. You can always launch again.

When Jeff Bezos creates a new division at Amazon he'll hire a product manager for the first 0-1 million in sales. When the division grows to 1 million, he fires them and brings on another person for the next 1-5 million stage of the company. He knows that some people shine in the early stages while others shine later.

I think it's OK to skip from one thing to the next if you build a team that will support and nurture what you've built before you leave.

Despite activations, a study by Flurry Analytics (http://blog.flurry.com/bid/79061/App-Developers-Bet-on-iOS-o...) says that developer support for Android actually decreased by one-third over the course of 2011, so I'm not convinced that there is a trend going on.
I could be dead wrong, but I seriously doubt that Google or any publicly traded company will shut down for a day. I just can't see them taking that big of a step in protest of the SOPA.

They'd probably to announce it first, if it was a complete blackout; but if they didn't, someone going to the site would probably see just a blank page with information on the SOPA etc. Call me cynincal, but I'll bet 9 times out of 10 that the consequence would be the person either just clicking the Tweet/Like/+1 button (unless those sites have also blacked-out) and/or going to another site that provides the same service ("Google is down, so I'll use Bing" "Facebook is down, I'll use Twitter/Google+") That's not all though; other apps, companies, etc. that rely on Google or whoever would also have to shutdown temporarily (except if the parent site kept the APIs open, but then what's the point?) Is that fair to those companies, to those coders? You might say it's a short term loss, long term gain, but other people might not see it that way; e.g. "This site is down, so I'll use this other service until they are back up." I'm not talking about why they shouldn't but why they wouldn't if they don't.

More importantly though, how will this change anything? I'm not saying people or companies shouldn't protest, but I think the only thing the company that blacks-out their site will get will be a lot of angry customers and investors. More people will be aware of the SOPA, and maybe mainstream media will at least mention it, but talk doesn't change unless action follows. Perhaps I'm over-thinking this, but to me it just doesn't seem to be the most effective way of protesting.

Why not just replace the website with a full page banner that the user can close after reading? It will inform the user without pissing them off that they cannot use the website.
Not totally true: for such case if you have a nasty bug and you are quite sure to have fix the problem, then you can ask Apple review team for an expedite review. There is an online form to fill up, and you are good to go.
I know at least 2 developers that had to use it and their update was approved in less than 4 hours.
Obviously it is not for abuse and only for critical issue but the idea that it will take a standard full review time for Apple to approve an emergency bug fix is totall untrue.
After having added this circle the last time it was posted I can tell you it's for overrunning your stream with posts you won't care about.
Chinese internet censorship is driven by the Party's need to remain in control, not by corporations seeking intellectual property protection. Little effort is made by Chinese censors to protect copyright holders' content. Though the parallel feels right, the rampant copyright infringement in China cannot be called a result of its internet controls. SOPA has nothing to do with the Great Firewall.

Having spent a long time in China, I can see the dangers of the censorship enabled by SOPA. But I also know that, should the Party decide to eliminate piracy, they could do so. There's simply no incentive right now - it would be an unpopular policy that would largely benefit foreign firms.
Focus, yes. Also, listen.

If your customers are consistently saying, "this is nice, but what I really need is..." that's a massive sign that you should refocus your product to address their pain.

Something that I don't see mentioned much is that China also restricts access to Chinese sites, probably partly to stop foreign countries complaining about copyright violations. Many videos are geo-restricted to be visible in China only, the same is true for music download sites.

Less people raise this because more Western people want to access Western content from China than want to access Chinese content from the West, but it is another issue affecting free exchange of culture. It's also not as straightforward to get a VPN into China as it is to get one out of China. Not to mention that this annoys Chinese students studying abroad who want to watch TV from home.
These aren't just school policies, they're usually state laws. Education policy is a huge political topic, and one that the general public often feel qualified to provide input on, regardless of their actual expertise.

That said, why should a hacker be exempt from English requirements? How does programming show that they know English? Many schools are willing to count AP Computer Science for math credits, but that's a different story.

What makes programming a higher-level elective than art, Spanish, or geography? Bear in mind that they all have AP courses, so you're definitely stepping on someone's feet here.
If you're interested by this and haven't seen it already, Marc Feeley's talk about compiling Scheme to C is really awesome, and has been posted here at least once.

It's actually worse than that. Most students don't get part time work (most people I know here never worked before finishing their post-grad university). When you see someone young in a 7-11 they are probably stuck there. Education has such a huge social force behind it and every job is very competitive so you get people with masters degrees working sales jobs. For the folk who never did well enough to get into university they are often stuck in minimum wage jobs for life. No safety net means most people rely on their children to retire, if you were infertile or your children died you are probably going to be sorting garbage when you are 80 in -10°C temperatures. I stopped to talk to this old woman on the street yesterday, she's one of millions in her situation.

South Korea takes capitalism pretty seriously. Competition is real here and failure is ultimate. Japan still has a fairly decent safety net with their pension schemes. South Korea, however, does not and relies on children to deliver for their parents. When children don't (because they are poor, they died, they abandon their parents) it all falls apart and the government doesn't step in (which provides a pretty strong incentive to succeed).
Obj-C++ is working well for me so far and the STL is much better than Obj-C's awkward and slow collection classes for anything that needs to run fast or that requires significant algorithmic complexity.
Dropout rates are dependent on a lot of factors, including financial aid and similar things. College GPA is a much better measure.

GPA is dependent on a lot of factors, including teacher bias, prior experience with instructional learning and similar things. Dropout rates are a much better measure.

If true, this suggests that there should be a gap between low level education results and standardized test scores (which are immune to racial bias, since the scantron doesn't know the race of the person filling in the bubbles).

It suggests no such thing. It would only suggest that if you believed every child taking a scantron test had received equal levels of prior education.

The fundamental flaw with your logic is that you believe incorrectly that everyone has equal opportunity at some point and you've decided to base all of your calculations off of this mythical point in time that everyone has equal opportunity and therefore any deviations from averages is a sign of actual inferiority in the capacity to take the average advantage of that equal opportunity. The reality is that no one ever has equal opportunity - from the moment of birth on. Black children are often born into a far more disadvantaged environment than white children. To overcome that disadvantage and succeed takes considerably greater amounts of effort, if not innate intelligence in some percentage of cases, to equal the success levels of those white children born to environment lacking that disadvantage. Everything prior to college admissions was not equal opportunity, everything prior to a scantron test was not equal opportunity. Equality of opportunity is not normalized after a scantron test, it is not normalized after college admissions and it does not normalize through college and post college.

Two people are sitting down. One has a 50 lb weight tied to his arms. Everything else being equal, which of those two will need to expend a greater amount of work effort to stand up? Does the fact that the individual with the weight took 25% longer to stand up mean he is less capable than the one with no weight? If they both took that same amount of time to stand up, which one would be more capable?

AA doesn't cut the weights off - nothing can do that. But it is a method of recognizing that those weights are there and accounting for them to some degree.
Can you actually buy an Android phone for 80 dollars or is that after the markdown for signing a service contract?

These are all great resources, but remember:

The most important part of design is sitting back and thinking about the impact your choices will make. What will a given element say about your product? How will it affect functionality? If you can ask these questions, you can achieve great design. It easy to be distracted by glossy aesthetics, but a simple, well-thought-out, polished, application is what your goal should really be.

So pay attention to every detail.

No pixel should go unexamined. It sounds hard, and at first it's tedious, but it quickly becomes habitual. You start to look at the corners of boxes, or unfocus your eyes after you read a logo.

If you're going to take this one step further, learn about typography and negative space. Specifically vertical rhythm and the use of 6.

Just like you can't "hack" a well-designed API, you can't "hack" good design. It takes effort, attentiveness, and the willingness to try ten variations before you choose an option.
I disagree. Package management is a nightmare on Mac--bad enough that I work on a Mint VM at home for my OSS contributions and on a Ubuntu VM at work. This is a significant consideration for any dev.

Note: I know MacPorts exists, and I'm not a fan.
AppleTV provides an intuitive way to choose from tens of thousands of titles, making it easy to purchase them and to view those titles on their TV. Those are the tasks I was referring to.

Android allows you to pirate content, run all kinds of dodgy file formats and doesn't put much emphasis on content quality or security, that has been well established.

I'll let you guess which way is better for consumers.
not true, just tried it.
Sometimes when people say 'blackout', they mean exactly what you are suggesting: a noticeable barrier/interstitial, rather than a true shutdown.

The reddit link as submitted doesn't have enough context to be sure what the proposer (user 'sub_par') means.
I guess that I assumed that they were talking about putting up a permanent black bar at the top of their pages with information about SOPA and their reasons for opposing it. I hadn't seriously considered that anyone would take down their entire site. If organizers are hoping that a large site will completely go offline, I think they are nuts.

This is one of the problems with a very decentralized anti-SOPA movement - there is no organization. I think that's why people are just hoping for a Google to take the lead.
It would be design by committee if every idea gets incorporated as a feature due to a lack of vision and leadership. That's not what I'm after.

What I'm suggesting is more like poll the audience in Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. While you would think that phoning a friend or reducing the answers to 50/50 odds would give you the best chances, polling the audience returns a correct answer 91% of the time.

I'll accept all ideas to improve the existing product, but only those that are vetted through both the community and me will be implemented.

It won't succeed if everyone is a chef. I don't think it will succeed if I am the only chef either. So I aim to find a happy medium.
That's true, but the content providers seem to start respecting content IP on their own. Youku, Tudou, Baidu, all have started to do this. A Chinese law professor blogger I read says that this is probably because those companies are publicly listed in the US, so not good to bite the hand that feeds you.

* Internet banking has been around for years. ATMs are open 24/7 in convenience stores.

Except on public holidays when said ATMs magically cannot process credit card transactions. Japanese banks are most certainly a joke. I know of one large Japanese bank that completed all transactions on paper (they would process it electronically then print it out and hand verify the details) until a few years ago. Think of a vast network of vacuum tubes launching paper around a building storing billions of records. That was their head office.
"Can you actually buy an Android phone for 80 dollars"

Yes, unsubsidized. You can also buy Android tablets for $120. They're just not very good. Also, none of them will have brand names you'll have ever heard of, or they'll have the logo of some telco on them.

The cheapest phones by LG and Samsung cost $120, the LG Optimus P350 and the Samsung Galaxy I5500 (both SIM lock free, unsubsidized).
There are multiple facets to the GWF's raison d'être. Most touched on in this thread. One area not given much voice is China's desire to handle legal issues in its domain. If you want a web site in China, you have to have a person (usually through a company) that is the agent responsible for the site. This person must be a Chinese national. That person is the one that has to show up in court if the site/company gets sued. If China is serious about nurturing its legal system, its a perfectly valid approach that parties conducting business in China be required to answer to the legal system when required. This means that if Facebook wants to serve up to Chinese people, they need a Chinese company and agree to be subject to Chinese law for what they serve up in China. Many may not agree with the restrictions on what you can serve up, but this is a different aspect of the GWF.
