You are right of course. I was thinking a split followed by the announcement of a dividend. In this way hedge funds and index funds can offload some of their AAPL exposure to retail investors who do seek a dividend.

I think Apple under Tim Cook is quite different, and is taking shareholders' interests very seriously. Why else would they adopt the resolution to have Apple directors being voted in by majority in the last shareholder meeting?[1]

Yup - it's not that difficult either.

It'll be much more difficult to convince citizens to set up a Mars colony at a cost of $1,000,000 per citizen as opposed to only $1,000 per citizen. Therefore, I'd argue it is relevant. If you were talking about setting up a privately owned colony - a larger economy means there is more chance of a company large enough to take on this task. (In large economies capital is more concentrated, at least that's what I'm observing from history. It would be difficult to have a company the size of Apple in an impoverished country whose GDP per year is less than Apple's quarterly income, for example.)

The USPS may not be an ideal case study, since it
is the only entity that is required to pre-fund 75 years
worth of health benefits to employees.

http://about.usps.com/news/national-releases/2011/pr11_102.h...

"Without enactment of legislation by the end of this month, the Postal Service faces default, as funds will be insufficient to make a congressionally mandated $5.5 billion payment to pre-fund retiree health benefits, Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe told a Senate committee today."

This was a manufactured crisis, passed by a lame duck Republican congress in 2006. See Title VIII - Postal Service Retirement and Health Benefits Funding in the following link:

http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h109-6407

Yes - E-mail has made an impact on the USPS' bottom line, but it's because of POLITICS that the USPS is in such bad shape.

If you can't answer the question, consider this a call to action.
The abstraction of "jobs" from "the things we do to survive" is interesting. The only things we "need" to do are reproduce, and find food and shelter towards that end. It's crazy that we have blown past the struggle for survival so far it's almost been forgotten, like the binary code under our lovely Ruby scripts.

But we still feel the flutter of our primal fears for survival, even in the abstraction, and fight to the death over increasingly excessive piles of wealth, as if we might not "survive". And because we do that, in the global picture not everyone DOES survive. If you are convinced you do not have enough to survive, it's very hard to share.

Even worse, as our personal bar of "survival" continues to rise in this abstract world, our frantic and instinctual struggle to "survive" is apparently driving us towards an incredibly sad and ironic demise - if you believe the headlines about nuclear war and global warming.

I agree with the article's idea that as technology takes care of more and more basic needs we should move to "information-based products" to keep ourselves busy and satisfied. We have to. All the world's billions can't have two cars in the garage, but they can all have giant digital art and music collections. (I guess we could do more recreation/sporting too, that's not a finite resource.)

But it's another level of abstraction. How far can we get from our concrete instincts for food and babies and still find sufficient meaning and purpose?

How are we to create sustainable jobs if we keep taxing, regulating, etc... such that we increase the requirement for marginal productivity of labor in order to turn a profit?

Basically, on-the-job training and low skills employment could be made more profitable by making it so that there is some room left for the free market. If they have lower non-employment costs, then they will be able to hire less productive people. This drives demand for employment, and thus, wages.

But I'm not suggesting that this will ever happen. ;) Some people in power pay lip service to the free market while attacking it, and others aren't shy about attacking it. We create "make work" jobs that come at the cost of companies and individuals. If it didn't come at the cost of companies and individuals their costs would be lower. If enough wiggle room was given, on-the-jobs training would be possible, and low-skills labor more profitable.

As of April, the US will have the highest corporate tax rate in the world. This approach doesn't seem to be solving the inequality of wealth problem, and it doesn't look like it's giving people a way to earn their living.
I don't feel the analogy is entirely accurate. Imagine having to learn 5 "if" statements, or 10 ways to say "++". In a spoken conversation, you don't get to look up the API docs if you forgot something. However, most programmers are likely at least bilingual because most programming books are in English and many companies in non-English countries use English as a common language.

However, I do feel there's some similarities between constructing a possibly-correct sentence and seeing if it actually works, and constructing some possibly-correct code and seeing if it compiles.

And the value of Fidelity's Apple stock would go down by $2.6 billion.

That's not what happened with Microsoft did a one-time dividend of $30bn. On July 19th, 2004, their stock price was 27.94. They announced it on July 20, 2004. The stock closed on 28.86 on July 21. The stock ran up to almost $30, and the day of the dividend dropped to 27.39.

On July 19th, their value was $301.7bn

On November 15th, it was $297.8bn.

(Numbers computed by Wolfram Alpha.. kaching!)

Believe it or not, there is value in ongoing dividends that makes "Fidelity's Apple stock would go down by $2.6" incorrect. Income funds, for example, would not buy Apple right now because it's not a "yield" stock. If they pay a dividend, those funds can then buy it under their prospectus. This opens up the overall pool of buyers for the stock and can stabilize and even raise the value over time.

Lawsuits, government charges, settlements, contracts -- these all seem factual to me. Only some emotional words of keep "gall" (which I agree are manipulative, the facts should stand on their own) add non-journalistic color.
I presume you meant "pieces of the ground".

If my assumption is correct, let me reply- land has real value. This is for two reasons.

First, everybody occupies space. We all live somewhere; space is valuable because we all have to occupy it, the same way that food is valuable because we all have to eat.

Second, all wealth originates from two sources; human labor/effort, and natural resources. Natural resources are harvested from land.

Thus, the competition over plots of land will go away only if land becomes so plentiful (or humans become so scarce) its value is unimportant, AND resources become so plentiful their value is also nominal. An example is air; it has little value, even though we all have to breathe, because there is so much of it.

If you're interested in how our ability to detect cancers (and other diseases like diabetes and osteoporosis) has surged ahead of our ability to know when treatment is effective, I highly recommend Overdiagnosed by Welch, Schwartz, and Woloshin.

Right now medical science seems to be at an uncomfortable phase with certain diseases where we can't be sure our treatments will have a greater benefit than the cost of the treatments— and not just in terms of price, but at the expense of our health itself.

A lot of great and capable languages are overlooked.

The question is how do they overcome the opinion, hearsay and preferences that are louder than the truth?

Too few devs:

- truly give something 5 minutes before jumping to their foregone conclusion.

- admit that most languages with a decent capable and decent programmer are all, pretty equally equipped.

- every language + framework has it's pros and cons.
Many statically typed languages have excellent library support. At this point Java, for example, has all of the libraries that Python has, and more.
I really think there is more to this.

My guess - small changes in the way you use words may reduce the chance that you are badly misunderstood by some people.

I love your essays, but our personalities are probably similar. My friend Mike, who was always a word man when I was an idea guy, has a reaction to your writing that is so similar to hers that at first I was sure he was the author of her post.

When I read her point by point rebuttal, my reaction is that she seems to be missing the ideas behind the words, fighting the texture of the bark and missing the layout of the forest.

But in her mind the bark looks phony so the whole forest is a fraud.

The whole tension may be about personality and perspective, not truth and falsehoods.

I don't have an answer, or even specific suggestions. But I sense that there is something to learn here. And I suspect that you are more likely to solve the puzzle than she is.

Adobe have been actively downsizing their enterprise offerings and refocusing on media.

“Adobe has made a decisive choice to move away from traditional enterprise software markets and to focus on digital marketing and media. It will also shift aggressively to a cloud delivery model. These moves follow an August 2011 message to customers that Adobe would no longer update LiveCycle Content Services ES2. These actions signal that LiveCycle Process Management ES2 and LiveCycle Content Services ES2 are no longer important to the company’s strategic direction.”

What software is used to include the slides and the talk video in the same frame?
A speech is like music. In music, the composer goes from low tempo to high tempo. Every good song will have this pattern of going from low to high and then descending. Good speech has these elements too. Great orators, present their ideas with the tempo going up and end with a crescendo. Think Martin luther King, Obama etc.

Here, the content is important, but more important is the music like rhythm.
Thus, it is more like entertainment, rather than conveying of ideas.

If you are in a live concert, the audience enjoy the music, most of them don't really understand it. It doesn't have to convey much, except to keep the audience engaged and inspired.

When conveying ideas, I think one-to-one conversation is best. In the absence of a one-to-one conversation, a speech that feels like a conversation or an essay would be best.

unlike other languages, a framework isn't as much of a requirement in Go since the Go standard library includes an http server, json serialization/deserialization, html templating, email, logging, basically everything you need in a web app. The url routing is pretty crappy, but that's my only real gripe. ngmoco's Falcore is worth looking at: https://github.com/ngmoco/falcore
> Is there currently a good web framework for Go?

The standard library gives you almost everything you need.

The http package provides a web server and client: http://weekly.golang.org/net/http/

The template package provides text templates:
http://weekly.golang.org/text/template/
and automatically-escaped HTML templates:
http://weekly.golang.org/html/template/

For other bits and pieces, see the rest of the standard library: http://weekly.golang.org/

I also recommend the Gorilla Web Toolkit for some other useful web-app functionality: http://gorilla-web.appspot.com/
there are also a lot of libraries for the .net platform outside the framework itself , too

I think you're changing your question from the first sentence to the next. I think what ahoyhere is taking issue with is not that good ideas are essential to writing well, but that good ideas are most of writing well (a statement that I, too, would argue isn't entirely accurate).

To re-use some of your essay's ideas, I've seen just as many well-loved "motivational writers" (e.g., Joel Osteen [who seems like the king of this sort of writing] or to use nerdier examples, Malcolm Gladwell [in some cases] and Seth Godin [to some extent]) as you've apparently seen bubble mouthed motivational speakers. I read books from authors like that, and, while well written, they don't actually do much for me intellectually other than motivate me to progress my own thinking or actions (i.e., very few actually new ideas are introduced to my brain).
er, I don't see what is ethically wrong with it if the organizers are charging people to attend - like Scott says, the organizers can make $250k from tickets to see him speak.

What is ethically 'troublesome' is when conference organizers like O'Reilly (but others do it, they just happen to be hosting the post) take pay-for-play speakers at their conferences but don't disclose.

In other words, the speakers pay the conference organizers AND the attendees are paying too. I have no problem with speakers being paid, in fact it increases the chances of high-value speakers attending.

Unfortunately, you're right about prostate cancer screening in general. It's hard to interpret correctly no matter what way you look at it.

Not only could these results lead to people who need to be screened skipping a doctor's appointment, but also our ability to diagnose prostate cancer has exceeded our ability to know when it's sensible to treat it.

Prostate cancer is usually treated by removing the entire prostate, which causes years of impotency and incontinence, without mentioning medical bills. All in all, that would be a small price to pay for your life, but we're inconvenienced by the fact that prostate cancer doesn't usually kill people. Most men will die of other causes long before prostate cancer gets them. For example, while over 80% of men between 70 and 79 have prostate cancer, only 3% will die from it. That means a lot of potential for unnecessary disruptive surgeries and lost health no matter how you look at it.

to be honest, I've used both gevent and Go and concurrency is far more natural in Go. Sure, you can do most of what you want with gevent, and if you're using stackless or pypy you can even have channels, but implementing concurrency at the library level is a mistake. It feels bolted on. It's like how some programming languages weren't object oriented from the start, but then they bolted an object system on top of it in a later release; it feels kludgy and you notice that it's bolted on. Concurrency in Python reminds me of that. Yes, it works, but it's awkward and feels like a second-class citizen.

Interesting article on a real quantified self / personalized medical testing case study. Three key paragraphs from article:

For two-and-a-half years, he's had regular blood samples drawn, and tracked the ebb and flow of 40,000 different molecules within his cells, from hormones to blood sugar, to the proteins of the immune system and mutated genes. Snyder also watched as his genetic vulnerability to diabetes turned into actual disease.

Snyder admits that integrating 40,000 pieces of data collected over irregular periods "wasn't so trivial," which is why he and his collaborators hope to narrow the data down to the most telling markers. His next research goal, he says, is to do a similar long-term analysis of 250 people who are at elevated risk for diabetes, so he can watch the disease develop.

Eventually, Synder says, he hopes people can analyze a full range of molecular information at birth and then again every six months to catch medical warning flags and make lifestyle or medication changes before problems develop.
The changes include the merge of kernel code from the Android project.
