god dammit, why does everything have to be an apple/android battle? can we not complain about the deficiencies of android without some smug apple fanboys chiming in? yes, apple is better at pushing out software updates than android is. that's not relevant to a discussion on where we can and can't use websockets. now go away.
OK, but "cleaning" is yet another word for artificial intelligence. I think you underestimate the power of economics. Can you imagine how many people are busy cleaning things?

I find it amazing that the difference between tasks like washing cloths and cleaning toilets is so small for humans and so huge for machines. We've had washing machines forever, but we're still cleaning our toilets manually.

And cleaning is just one of a large number of tasks that require similar kinds of intelligence. If robotics is able to close that gap, the world changes more profoundly and more quickly than ever before.

All of a sudden, most of the jobs performed by untrained people will disappear without replacement. The current thinking is that tasks that get automated are replaced by "higher level" tasks, but I think that's not actually what happened.

Automated tasks have largely been replaced by other tasks that are equally simple for humans but more difficult for machines. As a result, most people are still doing work that anyone can pick up in a week.

If that gap closes, we're in for a pretty difficult but ultimately wonderful transition. People have been crying wolf out of fear of this transition for hundereds of years. This time it's for real. Even if humans find new things that aren't yet automated, the transition will be too fast for at least a generation.

Thanks for the Swahili tip, I will definitely check that out.

Wow 4-6 months, that puts things into perspective...we go through the same steps except for the logo design trademark search. Currently we're two devs, looking for a designer and business/marketer. Until then, I wear those hats as well, and we always figured once we get a decent designer on board, we'd have a logo worth pursuing a design trademark for.
It's also possible that his experiences jaded him as well as what another commenter said about group dynamics. Having that sort of attitude may just be how he copes with it. There are all kinds of people in the military, many like you and many that are not.

Out of curiosity, have you tried it with a mouse and keyboard yet?
I bought a das keyboard last year for home. I got the blank keyboard, but found that a lot of random hand issues went away. I ended up buying myself a second one for work, and will absolutely not go back to a standard keyboard.

I wonder how many other people are waiting on the next Mac Pro. It has really been a long time...hopefully the new Xeons ship this month and Apple builds something awesome.

The really crazy thing I'd love is a Mac pro with a super high bandwidth external port, letting you connect a couple or 4. Some of the 4 CPU IBM servers do this.

I don't care if Apple only sells 50k Mac pro machines, as long as they exist for the right professional tasks and users. And I think they would sell a lot more than 50k if it costs less than 10k.

Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie on Unix beginnings
Well, the author says he is not an academic so I think we can freely assume he may not necessarily mean sociopath as how it may or may not be understood by psychologists or the DSM-IV. I think he refers more to apathy.
the gp might be alluding to operations where it would be pretty hard to find someone staff for. You'd need very motivated people to kill a journalist in Scottsdale, but you could rely on any operator if you could make it look like a terrorist in Afghanistan.
I can say the priority inbox works extremely well for me.
The "button" solution can be cracked by exactly the people you'd rather not send you any email, ever: people who have a lot of time on their hands and can spend a day pressing a button (or, worse, have someone in India pressing the button for them).

The cash solution is interesting, but again, do you want only rich people to send you email?

I think the prioritization problem is hard because it can only be done by the recipient (not her secretary, not her colleague, not anyone but her).

But I also think that people hate to prioritize not because it takes time, but because it's incredibly boring and then stays in your mind (you remember you were bored, and you remember all the useless crap you had to go through).

But very important and very busy CEOs still watch TV or go to baseball games, so they do have time left; it's just that they'd rather watch TV than sort through their mail.

So the problem becomes: how do we make prioritizing fun?

(I have no idea how to answer that question, but rephrasing the problem is a first step).
I like Firefox's Keyword Search bookmarks. The Awesome Bar becomes a "web command line". Some example search bookmarks I've configured:

* "d pi" to search Dictionary.com definitions
* "am pi" to search Amazon products
* "map pie" to search Google Maps locations
* "g pi" to search Google

and many others. :)

Totally agree. For me it's a way to assess the quality of the website: be wary of websites that complain that emails can't contain a +.

If you have your own domain (which I think most people have on HN?) you can use different usernames to the same effect, or a different separator.

But even if it worked all the time it's only part of the solution.
...which explains why Linux has taken over the desktop market?

Seriously, Linux has had MAJOR advantages, people HATE M$ and the Mac has shown ZERO interest in taking over anything other than the elite market segment.

I tried using Linux for a while, and it is a major pain in the ass. I've been using a Mac for everything since 2009, and it is so much easier. I really miss some Windows apps, so I'm going to have to get another machine just to run those apps, and of course I will install Windows. But there are no killer apps for Linux on the desktop.

Running a server farm? Of course I'll use Linux. No point in using anything else. But on the desktop, what's the point?

If you use Linux, it's like tithing. It's free, but you have to give up 10% of your life just to get by. If you're a sysadmin, that IS your life, and you can kernel hack all day and night. This is why Linux controls the server market.

But Linus has no conception of what the average user wants and needs in an OS. For example: if I'm using Linux, I'd like to be able to seamlessly run lots of Windows software. Linux should have an executive suite for Wine.

The charitable interpretation of his antics is "Lilliputian victim". He sounds like a 13 year old.

On top of that, the vitriol is a waste of breath. The Mac broke binary compatibility two times - Motorolla to PPC and PPC to intel. There were VMs available and fat binary alternatives available for both changes, and Mac users and developers just rolled over.

Linus does some things very well, but I would not describe him as a model leader.
No, it's better than that.
> * Jawbone

+1! I think Jawbone has a great opportunity for post-phone consumer devices. They have a strong brand and are branching out to non-headset form factors.

I am surprised at how readily mainstream consumers have adopted Jawbone Bluetooth headsets. People where them all the time, even though 99% of the time they are not taking a phone call. They look like dorky Borgs, but I think this is a sign that mainstream society will be open to transhuman/cyborg enhancements.
Metro isn't even supposed to be used on a workstation. It is as simple as that. Of course "windows 7" is better for real work on a desktop, noone will ever claim otherwise (for other than marketing purposes or for bashing windows 8).

So I don't know what your beef is, just don't use Metro for stuff it isn't good for.

And use it for what it is good for, on your laptop in "tablet-mode" for instance. Don't use it on your workstation, that's just insane.
You're usually pretty safe if you allow well-tested date and time libraries to do all of the heavy lifting.
Thank you, Paul, for sharing this.
It's been fun. Had a small issue with reversing the electrodes during a pitch... kinda put me too sleep. Some people thought I was stoned.

But in general it has been really useful in learning coffee script and teaching my friend how to longboard.
Thanks for this, zeromail does seem very interesting!

The signup for the closed beta is $100 though, which is expensive just to test something.

Also, it seems that in order to use it you have to migrate to their service completely, which is a big commitment.

Having a service that progressively takes part of your emails would be less aggressive maybe.
Give a third party my password so it can scan my email for financial data? No thanks.

I realise there are people who would love this convenience, and you'd make a killing on targeted ads, but this is a privacy nightmare. Good luck getting people to trust you. Furthermore, you really want the results of the filtering to be applied in the user's own mail client rather than having a separate UI..

Might be feasible as a client-side app. How about a Thunderbird/Outlook addon with a subscription service for known filters?

(What is the Google Chrome of desktop mail clients, anyway? Hardly any seem to use WebKit.)
I think personal health monitoring is probably the most important thing on that list. The thing that excited me the most when smartphones started becoming popular was the prospect that they could coordinate data collection from a number of sensors always collecting data - basic ones like Nike+, but perhaps also sensors measuring sleep, taking periodic bloodwork, etc. At the same time, perhaps you could automatically monitor personal behavior such as foods eaten.

Personal diagnostics would be an important use of that, but I think more importantly, with a very large public dataset of basic biometric data correlated with behavior data and medical results across a significant portion of the population, we could stop treating human health studies as bespoke one-offs put on at great expense and start treating them as data mining problems. You could begin to spot correlations between behaviors and results that are unintuitive given conventional wisdom. I think that the resulting burst of discoveries would be on par with any of history's great scientific revolutions.
Far be it from to tell anyone what they should do but I must say this comment was very well written, engaging, and informative. You might want to consider writing about this more; I think the best way for the civilians to understand what war and military life is like is for those at the tip of the spear is to communicate.
Not quite. http://moongazeponies.deviantart.com/art/Pinkie-Pie-the-Hack... appears to be the original.
I think you are right.

I don't agree with PG when he is talking about Apple. "None of them are run by product visionaries" is simply not true. Steve Jobs had great respect for companies like Sony because there are product visionary companies. Sony, IBM, Philips, and a lot of others, all companies that gave us great products we now are using every day. But it took years to get there.

E-ink for example was created in 1997 and is still in development. But we all know e-readers. A great example of a visionary product imho.
There's a clear search engine improvement which I'd love, and my friends would love, but I think it's not yet technically possible. (the tech to do it exists, but it's a big engineering challenge to actually build it in an economically viable way).

A way to search (public, private) documents without leaking ANY information (beyond possibly "I did a search") to the operator. DDG's "trust us" security policy doesn't really go far enough. A mix-net anonymizing your query is the best option now, but it's insufficient. Just knowing someone in the world is searching for a specific piece of information is itself highly actionable in some contexts.

USG and other highly security conscious entities accomplish this by having the full search corpus onsite and running the searches on their own hardware. There's Google Enterprise (which was the most red-headed stepchild product I've ever seen from Google) too, and there are commercial ways to buy the crawl and run an engine on top of it, but this isn't really something even Fortune 500 companies do.

Basically, either a permanent "personal google appliance", potentially hosted in the cloud using some tricks, or a way to spontaneously instantiate a google each time you want to do a search.

Probably the way to do this is to write some interesting sci fi novel featuring the dangers of public search leaking, and also wait for some interesting prosecutions which use search data as evidence.

You could actually still do advertising this way, too; just requires some tricks.
Configuring Node.js cloud application database settings
This is pretty cool. The explosion from the 70s and 80s is really interesting from a design perspective. Rooting around the electrical flea market in san jose a few years back I saw some of these in person...quite the sight in this day and age.
I see "You're the product, not the customer." and "The publisher is the user, not you." as labels of warnings.

For me that isn't twisting words to accomodate things like DRM and privacy-invasive tracking. If you tried to mask "You're the product, not the customer." as "The customer is always right." and "The publisher is the user, not you." as "Software is made for users." you'd be twisting words.

If I'm the product or the publisher is the user I'm very careful with what I share or do on the service. One of the many reasons for why it wouldn't affect me much at all if google disappeared tomorrow.
Scott Adams (Dilbert guy) proposed this a few years ago as a way to win the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

Being able to "tivo rewind real life" would be pretty amazing -- watch a bunch of things passively, record data, notice a spike in mortality, then find the common factors and stop the new plague (or the kids who found a Cobalt-60 source, or the pump infected with Cholera).
The medicine comments are spot-on, right now we only fix our bodies when we feel pain, when it is often too late!
How to convert repeating decimals into fractions
Yeah, it's an asshole move, but asshole moves are to be expected in such a high-stakes game. If someone works really hard on a project that fails, or doesn't do as well as he'd hoped, its definitely mean, and idiotic, to gloat. But, if in the process he gets to gamble tens of millions of dollars of other people's money, well, that's a different thing altogether. The project may very well still be his passion , he may very well work just as hard - or harder - but once he takes all that money that's a different territory.

If someone fails to finish a marathon after confidently convincing a lot of people to place large bets on his winning, I don't know if that makes it "ok" to gloat, but it's certainly asking for it.

To put it simply: when you run a marathon you want to be valued for your effort; when you ask people to bet on you, you're asking to be judged on the outcome.

A win or a loss, I understand there are some very talented, and nice, people involved, and I hope they won't let whatever happens to them affect their self worth, their true valuation, too much. They will still be just as talented and just as nice even when they choose to play a high-stakes game and lose and feel some humiliation, perhaps, when others do gloat for justified or not-so-justified reasons. It sure does sting, but that's life. A man's (or a woman's) true worth isn't measured by his success, and that's important to remember. People will gloat, though.
You're probably talking about Mova. Facial motion capture (of that quality) is very different from full body motion capture since the face has so many more degrees of freedom. So generally it is done in an extremely controlled environment with many simultaneous cameras and specific lighting and very little head movement.

The problem with doing high quality real time performance capture at home is you can't control the lighting or occlusion - sometimes even a human looking at the footage won't be able to discern what's going on. Not to say it won't ever happen but it will require extremely significant advances in computer vision.
For insurance companies early detection of chronic illness can lead to a longer lifespan when old, which costs them more. Better you die fast after a certain age?

90% fiction - hmmmn

certainly a lot of the C# criticisms are to do with the Visual Studio IDE differences but to be fair not many people write C# code outside the IDE.

It may be unfashionable to say it but VB is a more elegant and discursive language - and very often a good deal more succinct.

I write in both languages (among others) - most major work in C# for reasons such as compatibility with existing code libraries. The one big advantage of C# accrues when you are working on a web app and you need to switch in and out of JavaScript mode - the language similarities are an asset then.

Having said all of that - language wars are pretty boring and the end user could not care less what you wrote the stuff in as long as it works.
It's the complete opposite here in Austria, you can show body parts all you want but violence will land you an 18+ rating very quickly.
Copyright is generally interpreted that you can only copyright the part of a work that is original. So if you are granted a copyright for a work that includes unoriginal materials (which is virtually all works) you don't get a copyright on those parts of the work. For example if you write a song that uses familiar public domain motifs, you can get a copyright if you combine them or add to them in novel ways. You don't get a copyright on the pre-existing works.
I have. Not the metro as such but Win 8 CP on my laptop. When I read initial reviews, I was not sure how much I'd like this metro UI but to be frank, I haven't seen much of it in last week or so.

Since I am using Windows 8 on a non-tablet laptop, all I see is familiar windows 7 UI plus some improvements. Apart from the occasional metro launcher, I have not encountered the metro coolness at all.

That makes me think if this duality of OS that everybody is talking about is much of an issue at all. Sure the transition to metro from old UI is a bit jarring. In the first day of use which is what most reporters/blogger based their impressions on, you tend to see it a lot, probably because you are just exploring and poking around, not really using the it as you'd use day to day. And that's why everyone seems to be making a big issue out of it. I think the OS deserves a continued real life usage to get a better feel.
Has this been an actual problem for you?

I decided to skip the chargeback shenanigans by offering my customers a no-questions-asked money back policy. So far, less than 1% of my customers have asked for a refund. I suspect that those who want to get my product for free will simply torrent it rather than weasel around with chargebacks/refunds.
Linux is the kernel. Linus doesn't have pretty much anything to do with the desktop or individual applications (save the occasional rant).

What you're saying is like judging the guy who build the road when it's the car that sucks.

Exactly. I used the OS for past week or so and haven't used much of metro at all. Because I am using it on my old laptop and haven't used metro as much.

I am planning to get a touch laptop in next couple of months and we will see how it works then.
Lockheed is a horrible example too because they have extensive classified operations (their support costs for email within classified projects probably exceed 7.5mm alone), and because Lockheed IS&GS is a major contractor for outsourced IT services.

I think the Gartner figure was something on the order of $500-1000/yr per employee for messaging in large high tech businesses. A lot of that is IT staff, and all the other systems for security and compliance. Email is one of the big apps within enterprise.

do you know what a volatility surface is?

you can start a service where you plot vol surfaces for option traders and for a fee, send them an email when you detect anomalies in the vol surface (i.e. the difference between the 10delta and the 20delta volatility > 120% of mean), etc.

Unfortunately, I think US option traders are quite pampered when it comes to having access to such information, but this kind of a service might really fly in a "developing" country with a newly created options market.
