Counterpoint: the Windows mouse acceleration is terrible. Messing with the cursor speed doesn't help, it's impossible not to end up with jumpy moves and constantly overshoot buttons and menu options (doubly so menu options since the single convenient always-at-the-top-of-your-screen menubar isn't present).

If you grew up with one system, the other is horribly broken and I'd argue nearly impossible to learn. I'm a graphic designer who used Windows for years at work without ever "getting used to it", even if I never came home and touched my Mac. Now I work full time at home and it's heaven to have a mouse/cursor that does what I want it to do.
Isn't "lack of probable cause" crucial here?

There's a difference between arresting someone when you have a probable cause and arresting someone just because you can.

The standard for probable cause might be low, much lower than a standard for proving a crime has been committed, but surely there is a standard.

If the cop cannot show that there was probable cause to arrest someone, he a) should be accountable in some way b) he shouldn't be able to arrest someone for resisting the arrest that he had no right to make in the first place as that's absurd.

Not to mention that based on the description of the events, the "resisting arrest" in this case is an excuse and not something that actually happened.

Why are Ivey grads so valuable to these financial institutes? It seems like if they wanted general smarts and abilities, there would be better filters. Like STEM grads from across the top universities. My suspicion is that it is partly about brand name. That is, these companies have an easier time selling a fund if they can say it is managed entirely by people with Harvard/Princeton/Yale degrees.
Brilliant design, thoughtful processes and an incredible toolset for designers. It is really indispensable. I think anyone who wants to build things for people should keep a printed copy with him.

Given the role the Fed played in fueling the nearly zero cost of speculative capital (not to mention back stopping the losses and paying for the bailouts via backing the Treasury) - that's probably the place to start making changes.

Of course, the real problem is our deficits. We can't pay for them any longer. The Fed is buying 91% of all long term government debt now. So they have to keep rates low or the US Government will become insolvent. Keeping rates low causes a huge surge in liquidity. And if you a reduction in slack in the real economy, zooooom there goes a bubble somewhere.
Sam was one of AdGrok's angel advisors. He is intense in person. He talks quickly, and his signal-to-noise ratio made us all take notes during our meetings as fast as we could write and type.

As an example, he told us that our company's valuation would fluctuate wildly up and down, that timing our investment rounds was critical to our success, and that valuation is driven as much by hype and gossip as by real value--especially in the early stages. It was all stuff that just rings true to you immediately, but that insight isn't apparent or obvious without experience.

(Thanks for the help, Sam!)

Well, in this case he speaks of ARM as being the slow option. It seems safe to assume he's coming from x86, PPC, et al.

There are corner cases like DSP and high speed FPGA's, but I'm not aware of any general-purpose embedded chips that make ARM look slow.

Of course, this is only my opinion, having spent the majority of my time with embedded devices at or below 1MHz. Those 72MHz ARM cores are speed demons in comparison!

@isthisascam yes this is a scam.
When my wife and I were about to have our twins we had read that it takes about 170 hours a week to take care of baby twins. Remember, there's only 168 hours a week.

Now that they've just turned a year old I can safely look back and vaguely recall that: Yes it probably took about that much time to take care of the little guys.

Good luck, Jeff!

If you're good, you can trick the client a bit, deliberately don't completely finish part of 1 till you have most of 2 working.

Don't do this just for your own gratification, but only when it will genuinely help the client.

It helps when you get a sense of how long they expect the project to take - if you do it fast, but deliver a poor solution you are not doing your job.

If they want it fast, and they know it will be poor then fine. But a lot of the time they are not expecting fast, but then you deliver fast and they think "cool", not realizing you didn't really finish things properly.

I had a long comment about security of old browser versions that I just deleted because I misread the article.

By "Chrome will instead rely on its automatic update mechanism" it means there will be a separate update stream using the same system, not that revocation list updates will be packaged with new Chrome versions. The latter would mean that not upgrading Chrome would stop you from getting cert revocation updates, which would be a Bad Thing.

To quote the original blog post[1]:

"Our current method of revoking certificates in response to major incidents is to push a software update. Microsoft, Opera and Firefox also push software updates for serious incidents rather than rely on online revocation checks. But our software updates require that users restart their browser before they take effect, so we would like a lighter weight method of revoking certificates.

"So Chrome will start to reuse its existing update mechanism to maintain a list of revoked certificates, as first proposed to the CA/Browser Forum by Chris Bailey and Kirk Hall of AffirmTrust last April. This list can take effect without having to restart the browser."

That's not a fair comparison. Apple's kernel is Mach/XNU, which is a completely different architecture than the 4.4BSD derived kernels used by Free-, Net-, Open-, etc. BSD. That said, the API for kauth has been implemented (albeit not via open code from apple) on NetBSD. https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#technotes/tn2127/_i... http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?kauth++NetBSD-current

Apple guides development for WebKit and releases code for mDNSResponder (Avahi is admittedly used more in OSS operating systems, although NetBSD-current notably uses mDNSResponder), Darwin Streaming Server (the backend to their proprietary QuickTime Streaming Server, and ALAC.

They don't release everything as open source, but they certainly don't disregard its importance.
Surely you must see the irony of typing up your zing about C++ being relevant only to the "mil-aero" crowd into a web browser that is almost certainly written entirely in C++.
They do get engineering grads from other schools, to do the derivatives pricing and programming. Something like 48% of MIT grads went to Wall Street during the 2000s. Considering the dearth of academic positions, it's one of the only places for surplus EE, math and physics PhDs can even get a reasonable job.

In regards to Ivy Schools, they are generally ranked top 10 in most non-engineering subjects in the USA, including math, physics and economics. An Ivy grad is a reasonable guarantee that you are getting top class talent.

It seems interesting. I'd be interested to see what your user interface looks like.

I have the following comments/questions:

1) I'm pretty sure I've seen this kind of technology before on CNN, ie. real-time polling. Have you researched to see if there are any patents on the things that you've implemented?
2) Is there a large enough market for these services to sustain an actual business?
3) with respect to your %, do you account for people that started off giving real-time feedback, and then quit because it was too tedious? Do you still include them in your % even though they don't respond, or do you just assume that they haven't changed their opinion? In fact, how do you differentiate between people who don't change their opinion, and people that quit updating your app, or does that matter to the marketing research people?

I guess that will be one of the things that you'll have to deal with is the % of people that start off giving feedback and then just quit the app because they get bored or annoyed. There are a bunch of surveys that I've started filling out, but because they ask too many questions, I just quit midway.

"Businesses don't like GPLv3 [blah, blah]..." except for the ones who use and benefit from it.

Especially. The wide GPLv3 provides greater protection from certain players controlling markets via patents. Businesses that would otherwise be threatened by this would seem to benefit from GPLv3. And sure business aspiring to these monopoly positions via patents indeed wouldn't benefit. I think was already clear where Apple stood on this "spectrum" of patented-focused-ness.

You hit the nail on the head with the "convey" question. A fairly large number of people think there's a good chance that the AGPL is redundant because the GPLv3 is broad enough in its range of likely court interpretations. I've flip flopped back and forth on the BSD/GPL side of the fence a number of times, lately I've started moving back to BSD-land again. (Especially with things like the "Do what the fuck you want" license, version 3.)

it is entirely about brand name. add to your example the strengthening of ties within the old-boys ivy league network. it's perfectly rational - if you're them do you take the smart kid from the university of connecticut who comes from a modest background and is on in-state tuition or the smart kid from yale who, chances are, is related to a congressman, corp executive, or, if you're lucky, a saudi prince. kind of a no-brainer if your business is based largely on relationships and protected largely by class barriers.

come to think of it, why is everyone on here so concerned with 'killing hollywood' lately? we should be killing the too-big-to-fail financial institutions.
This comes as no surprise at all. At least to those of us who have been looking at the various BSD projects, and how businesses are shunning the GPLv3.

On paper the GPLv3 is awesome, but it adds some major restrictions that make it unappealing to corporations. I did some contract work for a company whose lawyers forbid the use of LGPL'ed libraries in their software even-though it means re-inventing the wheel a couple of times or using inferior libraries. They were deadly afraid that their code would somehow become infected and that they would have to open source they wouldn't allow it. Quite a bit of the code I ended up writing was later released under the BSD license free for use by the world, and one could replicate their product with their own libraries and a couple of weekends. (Company not named because 1, my name isn't attached to it so it won't be easy to find, and 2, I am under NDA still)

Why wouldn't it be in Apple's best interest to use BSD replacements for GPL licensed software if those are available and are comparable. Apple's LLVM/clang compiler for example is available under a BSD license and even-though they hired the project lead the entire project is still open source and being openly developed. There has in the past (I haven't paid attention lately) been code sharing between Apple's Darwin Kernel/Userland back to FreeBSD and vice-versa.

The same movement to remove GPL licensed software is being done in two major BSD based projects, FreeBSD and OpenBSD. Both for very different reasons but with the same end result. I don't necessarily think this is a bad thing, more competition is a good thing.

I am still hoping that FreeBSD picks up the CIFS stuff that Sun released with OpenIndiana because it works much faster/better compared to Samba and I've had WAY less issues with it.

The GPL isn't so much fostering or creating an atmosphere for open source development, it creates traps and makes it harder to use the end product. btrfs will most likely never be available within any OS other than Linux. Isn't that the opposite of what you'd want as an open source developer, isn't the idea to spread your code as far and wide as possible, to have people use it no matter where? ZFS by comparison is available in FreeBSD, it is now available on Linux and Mac OS X. If I release something as open source I want people to use it, modify it, play with it and spread it around as far and wide. Would I like for people to contribute their changes, absolutely, but do I think that forcing them to do so under a license is the best way to go about asking for changes? No.
The "solution" to this "problem" is very simple. Give exceptional engineers exceptional compensation outside of Wall St. and things will level out.

The scale of the problem does not seem all that difficult to overcome (as indicated by the author). What I am interested / pleased to read is that a fairly popular, high traffic site is backed by a "plain old" RDBMS. MSSQL even.
I'm not saying it doesn't happen. I'm saying there are reasons for contributing to opensource and opensourcing your projects, other than being forced by the license. Sometimes it doesn't make sense and in those cases GPL forces the company to reinvent the wheel which is counter productive. And there are business models that could rely on GPL to make them viable (offer custom licensing for a fee for eg.) Point is GPL isn't the ultimate license of opensource, and BSD is a viable license, which you won't hear from GPL fanboys.
The whole point behind destroying evidence is to avoid accountability
In my experience the actual physical amount of time spent doing something can be pretty ordinary, but the amount of time spent mentally is enormous.

When I'm hanging out with friends or my family I'm not 100% there. I'm running over marketing scenarios in my head, trying to figure out how to squash this weird bug, or figuring out whether I should spend time talking with that one investor or not.

So no, I don't think it needs to take over all aspects of your life, but I'm not sure you can consciously stop it.

The people supporting this movement seem to say that people should choose entrepreneurship over financial services/consulting etc. because it is better for the economic good of society.

Maybe, but entrepreneurship takes a much different skill set than various financial roles and even in finance an investment banker has way different skills than a quantitative hedge fund analyst.

When we start talking about the smartest 5% of people on earth even within that smart group there are huge differences in skills.

Most entrepreneurs could not be hedge fund analysts or even stock pickers and most stock pickers and hedge fund analysts cannot be entrepreneurs.

When you substitute "people" for police, you're missing a crucial ingredient; other police officers have an institutional alignment with their fellow officers, and will continue to interact with other officers. Further, they are likely to need to be able to "get along" politically with other police departments in the future even if they don't interact with particular people in those departments day-to-day.

On the other side of the scale, the relationship with the mistreated citizen is totally expendable, and the relationship with the public consciousness is a diffuse one rather than a concentrated one (i.e. there's no one-on-one rapport with individual citizens, only a generalized "police force" and "citizens at large" relationship).

Game theory reliably predicts the outcome here: the diffuse and expendable relationships are likely to take a back seat to the concentrated and durable ones. Obviously this doesn't predict individual outcomes with certainty, but the imbalanced incentives with intra-institutional review are pretty significant.

Ya know, call me crazy, but I still think Buzz had a lot of potential and that Google really just screwed the pooch in terms of execution with it. For one thing, I still think it was a huge mistake to tie Buzz exclusively into GMail. It never felt right to me to need to go into GMail first, to get to my Buzz feed. Maybe I was the only person in the world who felt that way, but I can't shake this sneaking suspicion that a standalone Buzz interface (something closer to Twitter's interface) would have helped.

Buzz also never seemed to have discovery tools that were as effective as Twitters in terms of helping find interesting people to follow.

But they were onto something with the richer messaging format and some of the other features. Thankfully it looks like most of the best parts of Buzz got rolled into G+ (conceptually if not literally at a code level).

All of that said, I still think G+ feels a bit "heavy" and that something like Buzz (in standalone mode) that fits between Twitter and G+ / Facebook could garner some meaningful traffic. Or maybe not, whatever. <shrug />
