I believe the UGM-27 was the first to be targeted via something like GPS, but it was only used for determining launch site, and I think that stayed the norm until the late 80's when the GPS systems could be shrunk and hardened for high-g operation. So yes, most Ballistic missiles maintained an inertial guidance system for many years after GPS was launched. But it was the requirement to know accurate position of mobile launch sites (in order to preprogram the missile's flight computers with appropriate inertial target solution) that motivated the system in the first place.
If serious, I would love to show what I mean. I am not a programmer at all, I know nothing but photoshop, HTML, and CSS.

I would be happy to create a demo "web3.0 startup" landing page on bootstrap doing nothing but adding 1 less file and some graphics. And then I could write what I did on my blog or something, or just make a post here.
I think that if the founders simply wanted to say "complete personal freedom" then it would have been simpler to write that. The classic "you can't yell fire in a crowded movie theater" example. You can't just say anything that you want.

The real problem is that everyone thinks that if we all just use common sense, and be nice to each other, it'll be ok, but that doesn't get us very far. If some kid slanders someone else, for example, how should it be dealt with? You don't have complete freedom to say anything you want about someone else.

...I guess the short of it is that if you don't want the school to handle the problem, be very specific about how the problems should be dealt with, otherwise when my personal freedom and yours clash, we're going to have a mess. Don't just wave the flag and cry "freedom!"

[Update]

I got down voted immediately. Thought I might. :-) Was it the wave the flag and cry freedom part, or do people think they have complete personal freedom? Yeah, I'm trying to stick a few simple-minded people in the eye. Anyway, people really need to think beyond the simple "I don't like it when this happens..." If you can't provide the answers to a problem, someone else will do it for you.
Having Starbucks is a measure of success?

At this point, I'd happily like to point out that my country - Australia - weathered the GFC better than pretty much anyone else and has an exceptionally strong currency, low unemployment, and is generally up near the top on any quality of life measure. Starbucks came here, opened nearly a hundred stores... and failed horribly - they were too shortsighted to see that we already had a quality coffee culture (born of our Italians, Greeks and Turks) and their shitty coffee made no inroads here.

(an aside - the one and only time I've had anything from starbucks was an iced chocolate in LA on a hot day - and it was gritty)

So I read this article and wonder if they've totally misread another market. Whatever the case may be, having Starbucks is not a sign that your country is successful.
I tired it once but It crashed all the time... -_-
That being said, even if you only market to the Indian middle class, that's a market of over 100 million people.

If a kid slanders somebody else, the somebody else can sue for redress in the courts (or, I don't know, talk to his/her parents. It is not the governments job to monitor its subjects "just in case". That is absurd, and thinking like that is why 12 year old girls are getting interrogated and why certain departments think it is OK to fondle citizens, young and old (yes, this case, it's "allegedly", but this is not the only case.)

K-12 education is such a mess. My kids go to quite good public school, and even there, it is a joke the control they think have. Anybody know if it is a violation of the 1st Ammendment to prohibit kids from dying their hair (serious question)? As a kid who had blue hair, that prohibition drives me nuts!

Good point. It does seem that Paul B. could be the friend. In addition, PG mentions Paul B. in several places, just a few including:

If true, it's especially interesting that Paul B. was the creator and lead developer of Gmail and that he corrected PG by stating that "GMail has become painfully slow" instead of "GMail is painfully slow" thereby humorously dissociating himself from the act of having developed something slow.
There is a whole field of study, called industrial and organizational psychology, that researches issues like what hiring processes are most likely to obtain employees who do good work for organizations. Studies of many different hiring practices across many different industries and job categories have shown that the two most valid predictors of work performance and success in an occupation are

a) work-sample tests, if one can possibly be devised for a particular job,

and

b) general cognitive ability tests (IQ tests or IQ-like tests such as SAT scores).

Both work-sample tests and general cognitive ability tests have about the same predictive ability (predicting less than half of the variability in actual work performance, but predicting more than any other kind of hiring screen) as each other, and considerably more validity than many more common kinds of hiring procedures.

Expecting job-seekers to have

1) X years of work experience in Y technology,

2) a smooth manner in a face-to-face interview,

3) a degree in field Z from an elite university,

or any of many other hiring criteria are all less likely to identify job-seekers who will be successful on the job than a work-sample test. If the work at your workplace is so complicated and varied that it is difficult to design a representative work-sample test for job-seekers, test the job-seekers' general cognitive ability with one of the validated hiring tests used for that purpose. That can reduce the expense of your hiring process and improve its results.

I don't think that in this case they wanted to look at her account without reason. It seems like she said something someone didn't like. That someone probably printed her page and went to their parents and they went to the school?

Also, shouldn't Facebook be deleting her account? She's only 12, and you need to legally be 13.

I find that a lot of the comments here are missing the point. Sure, Baby Boomers have no moral high ground when it comes to generational criticism. Who cares? I think the OP makes some really interesting points and, for my part, I don't think he's trying to moralize or call people lazy. "Go-nowhere" sounds pejorative, but the fact is that people have less of a use for transportation now, and I think there's an interesting insight there.

As a country, we deeply suck at moving humans around. Europe has actually fast trains and they're actually reasonably priced, unlike Amtrak. If you want great service in Europe, you take Virgin; if you want cheap flights, you take RyanAir. We lose by getting RyanAir service for Virgin/BA prices. We're great at shipping bits, U.S. freight rail is world-class, and we can get almost any fruit in any season, but when it comes to passenger transportation, we essentially stagnated in 1949. Air travel is still expensive and far more unpleasant than it ever was, passenger rail is at the same speed it had in the 1920s, and most of us still rely on the car for commuting. If you want to live in a place where you can actually walk or bike to a city, you'll pay absurdly high prices to live there. This mediocrity in transportation is a deep national morale problem that is exacerbated by the current economic climate (i.e. many people having no fucking money). A result of this is that the world is becoming larger. Much larger.

Moreover, what's left of the job market fills through social connections. "Front door" approaches are officially dead. It's possible to make "weak ties" and acquaintanceships online, and that kind of "networking" is often enough (strength of weak ties) but if you fall into a bad spell (or, say, are female and take a few years off from work to raise children) and need someone to take a chance on you, you're going to want strong ties. With wealth disparities widening and talent geography becoming more unfavorable, people are less inclined to believe they'll easily make strong ties after college; it rarely happens. So people are averse to moving without a strong reason to do so.

Then there is the difference in job markets between continuous (efficient, low-latency) and discrete (illiquid, high-latency) ones. For high-talent jobs and candidates, there are 3 places where the markets are continuous: New York, Silicon Valley, and Boston. That's not to say there aren't great jobs (and great people to hire) in places like Portland or Minneapolis. There are, but there isn't the massive number that makes a market continuous. A lot of talent is coalescing in these 3 areas because living in one of them means that changing jobs doesn't mean that one is likely to be changing cities. What that means is that people who are willing to move for economic reasons, by and large, have ended up in one of those three places (and will stay there).

You'd do that too if you had to present in front of a large group of Python developers. Calling them the center of the valley was a little over the top, though.
I agree with you and have actually seen this in action. Another effect I've seen is with someone whose reputation precedes them -- their reputation for always negotiating piecemeal. No one wants to deal with this person, but since the person is important enough to the negotiated deal that people often compromise without too much effort just to avoid the unpleasantness of dealing with this. So in effect, the piecemeal negotiator has won all their points of negotiation in advance!
Strength in numbers is the key. If you think by yourself, then you're faced with these challenges. If you choose to line up with other ppl facing the same challenges you might help each other knock those barriers.

Exactly what I needed.

For the last few weeks, I've been trying to increase my productivity by getting rid of time tracking. So I decided to hide my computer's clock.

Sometimes, like when I have an appointment, I still need to check what time it is. Googling "time" doesn't always work (I don't know why exactly). So I bookmarked this site [1] but the information density is so high that I need to scan the page in order to get the time.

Time.is works quite well, with useful customization options, though it still carries bits of useless information (like the time zones at the bottom). But the time's font size is big enough to trigger instant focus.

UPDATE: as guptaneil pointed out, clicking the time (or navigating to http://time.is/just) removes all the clutter. Thanks for the tip.

I wonder why don't you write it.
No; these reasons show why the are is ripe for anyone to do it. The only fallacy in Paul Graham's comment (or in possible interpretations of it) is that Google has a weak spot there so it's an opportunity for somebody else to beat Google. Trust me, we have a ton of resources dedicated to improvements in search and we have lots of cool things coming down the pipe, although maybe not in the velocity that one could dream (e.g. something like intelligent research for scientific papers is firmly in the sci-fi realm today, at least for fully-automated computing).

BTW, Paul's article has a big #fail when he mentions code search as a possible idea; dude, we do have that and it's amazing (but unfortunately we recently shut it down; not sure if this will eventually resurface as part of some other product).

All that said, of course some company can always make an effort dedicated to a specialized niche that we are overlooking and beat Google Search in that niche; an excellent example of that is Wolfram Alpha. Still, not a big deal; to really "beat Google" you need a new general-purpose, full-Web search engine that beats Google's. Not impossible either, but the barrier to entry is simply colossal and it amazes me that people don't realize that and dream that it just takes some cool new idea or clever new algorithm to do that--we are not anymore in 1998, when Google, still working off a garage, started to beat the current top engines like Yahoo! and AltaVista.

Almost 20 years and running, I don't know if I'd go with that whole transitional part.

We could change its name as specs evolve, but the idea of (and demand for) an information browser will remain so long as humans find it desirable to not personally decipher the code for each page or application.

Hop into the iTunes Store - you're suddenly in an 'information browser.' As a general consumer, whether you're looking at information on the web or some other platform, you will be using a browser of some sort. A web browser just happens to be for the web, and that isn't going anywhere any time soon. The curve to change mass consumer behavior is extremely high once you've deployed a billion versions of a software concept and people find it comfortable and effective to use.
"Perhaps more worrisome, kids who grow up during tough economic times also tend to believe that luck plays a bigger role in their success, which breeds complacency."

Based on your comment I assume that you have the means of supporting your "More to life than work" lifestyle? That you're not on the government dole or living in your parent's basement? If my assumptions are correct, then I commend you and I'm envious of your ability to strike a balance.

I don't believe for one second though that the reason Gen Y suffers from a high jobless rate is because they share the same values you do. I believe they're lazy, spoiled and entitled. I have several cousins who are between 16 and 18 and have no jobs, nor have they ever. And it's not because there's no jobs to be had, it's because they don't want to work as a grocery story stock person or a cashier. Those jobs are below their upper middle class upbringing.

And because of Facebook, they don't need jobs. They can hang out with their friends all day online for free. Their parents provide them with food, shelter and clothing - so what more could they ask for? I don't believe this is sustainable though. Our society works because people produce things. We've seen what happens when we trend towards a service based economy rather than a manufacturing based economy. What happens when we transition to a sit on our ass and surf the internet economy?

The school never has a right to ask for those passwords. If what she wrote is public, they can see it. If what she wrote isn't public, it shouldn't matter. Email is private, period. If it takes a court order to get access "in the real world", a school official shouldn't be demanding it.

If she said something about somebody else in a public way (yes, your "friends" probably count as public), the person being spoken about has multiple options:

1. Suck it up. People say mean things; get over it. (Side note: my guess is this whole case boils down to "contempt of cop", that horrible crime of not showing a person who has authority over you enough respect). Students don't check free speech at the gates and especially don't at home.

2. Contact FaceBook about a violation of its terms. FB could delete said post. I think FB's 13 year old policy is stupid (yes, the underlying law is also stupid, but FB takes the stupidity to new heights), but it is their policy. The principal could have just gotten the account nuked.

3. For a public posting, involve the parents. It is, you know, their job to raise their kid. If a parent decides they value freedom of speech over respect of authority, well, see #1 above or #4 below.

4. If the comment is truly libelous (and, remember, to prove libel you have to show harm was done[1]), you always have redress in the courts. But, again, the inequality in the relationship means the principal doesn't have to bother with that.

We want adults who question their leaders, yet our schools (including, sadly, many colleges. Just look at what happened at Berkeley) do everything they can to crush any leadership questioning. Is it any surprise most adults don't care about what their leaders do? They have been trained from a very early age that they have no control over "the man". Why would that change after college?
