I don't really see it that way. The startup cost for a new business is a one-time, finite "project" (in my mind) that would adhere to the concept of Kickstarter well.

The problem Kickstarter has with this project (and, similarly, when I tried to do the same thing) is that it's not an "artistic" endeavor. That is to say, they don't allow small business projects, unless you plan on producing a short story or documentary about the process as you do it.

Looks like a cool little product, I would buy one if I wore watches. My only suggestion would be to stop designing your dial as if you had a round face to work with, your display is square so you should design accordingly. All of the analog versions you show are made for a round dial and they end up looking cramped and awkward.
While you can get cheap housing in Sacramento or Stockton, the California equivalents of Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto are just as unaffordable as those cities. Maybe more so. If you think commuting Clarington to Toronto is bad, try Inland Empire to Los Angeles or Union City to San Francisco.

I also had 486SX and the only time I needed the co-processor was when I wanted to run some 3D software (mostly 3D Studio).

In case of games it wouldn't probably be a viable solution as it was obviously slower than the real thing.

The problem is even companies that may be ok still can have dinosaur recruiters, once a company is of a certain size is inevitable that not everyone they employ will be technical and for companies that are smaller they probably aren't able or interested in devoting technical resources to streamline the recruiting process

I wonder how hard it is to interoperate perfectly with Word's Track Changes, or, let's say, with a minimal set of critical Word features. Could a small smart team pull that off? That's how I'd try to do it if I were trying to kill Word. Or is Word so complicated that it would just be hopeless?

Adittionally, probably the most famous example is the Celeron range.

Celerons were originally Pentium IIs with large segments of the cache fused off, unusable due to defects. However they turned out to be so popular that Intel started to disable the cache of otherwise good cores, and then later began specifically fabbing them, to meet the demand.
As other comments have said, some (possibly most) of these chips likely have a core disabled because of manufacturing issues, so it's probably not a good idea... Apart from power usage (which the AppleTV doesn't have to worry about, being plugged into AC) there really isn't much reason to do it otherwise.

From the README:

Redis Failover attempts to provides a full automatic master/slave failover solution for Ruby. Redis does not provide an automatic failover capability when configured for master/slave replication. When the master node dies, a new master must be manually brought online and assigned as the slave's new master. This manual switch-over is not desirable in high traffic sites where Redis is a critical part of the overall architecture. The existing standard Redis client for Ruby also only supports configuration for a single Redis server. When using master/slave replication, it is desirable to have all writes go to the master, and all reads go to one of the N configured slaves.

This gem attempts to address both the server and client problems. A redis failover server runs as a background daemon and monitors all of your configured master/slave nodes. When the server starts up, it automatically discovers who is the master and who are the slaves. Watchers are setup for each of the redis nodes. As soon as a node is detected as being offline, it will be moved to an "unreachable" state. If the node that went offline was the master, then one of the slaves will be promoted as the new master. All existing slaves will be automatically reconfigured to point to the new master for replication. All nodes marked as unreachable will be periodically checked to see if they have been brought back online. If so, the newly reachable nodes will be configured as slaves and brought back into the list of live servers. Note that detection of a node going down should be nearly instantaneous, since the mechanism used to keep tabs on a node is via a blocking Redis BLPOP call (no polling). This call fails nearly immediately when the node actually goes offline.

This gem provides a RedisFailover::Client wrapper that is master/slave aware. The client is configured with a single host/port pair that points to redis failover server. The client will automatically connect to the server to find out the current state of the world (i.e., who's the current master and who are the current slaves). The client also acts as a load balancer in that it will automatically dispatch Redis read operations to one of N slaves, and Redis write operations to the master. If it fails to communicate with any node, it will go back and ask the server for the current list of available servers, and then optionally retry the operation.

It really depends on your interpretation. The math just gives you a continuum of possibilities, each with an amplitude. If you choose to interpret this continuum as being actually real and applying to the entire universe, you don't need spooky action at a distance or FTL travel. You also don't need quantum randomness; the universe always travels down every path of possibility it can, so it never needs to make a random choice. However, this does mean you end up in a 'many worlds' interpretation - but with an amplitude ('measure') attached to each world (corresponding to the square root of the classical probability of that world coming to be). The philosophical implications of this interpretation are quite interesting as well - what happens to all of the 'you's that live in a world in which entropy spontaneously reversed, at an incredibly low measure?

If, on the other hand, you assume that at some point, the universe rolls a die and picks a final outcome, then yes, you do need what is effectively FTL communication of this random roll of the die. This interpretation is easier to understand for many people, since it most closely matches what we think we see. However, it cannot be exploited for transmitting any actual information; the math conspires to ensure the information transmitted is _truly_ random (you provably cannot encode any data under your control onto this channel). You don't even know when the choice is made - indeed, the concept of 'when' the choice might be made here is ill-defined; it may appear to happen after the observation of the result, for some frames of reference.

Nice description. I'd suggest explaining how decorators that accept arguments (i.e. @memcached('some-arg')) work lest it befuddle some beginner. It is not straightforward (the first argument of a decorator is the function being decorated).

I still use a notebook from 2002 with 1400x1050 with an IPS screen. Ten years since, I can't find any notebook with an IPS and 4:3 (only tablets, thanks to Apple) and I'd really pay for both features on the notebook with an i5 or an i7 CPU.

I hoped increased demand after iPad's success would make IPS and 4:3 reappear on notebooks .
Nothing that you would consider usable information, referred to as 'classical information', can be transmitted via quantum entanglement. There is 'quantum information' in the state of the entangled particles that can be transferred instantaneously over infinite distance, however attempting the observe this information by any means will destroy it (ie cause the wave function to collapse).

If it was possible to transmit classical information faster than light, this would violate causality as we understand it (you could receive a message that you had been shot before you actually experienced being shot, thus allowing you to prevent yourself from being shot). It's a bit difficult to understand why this is true without a solid understanding of relativity, but you can read up on it a bit here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_relativity#Causality_an....

This is all heavy stuff and very non-intuitive, but if you're curious about it and eager to learn I'd highly recommend this tome: http://www.amazon.com/The-Feynman-Lectures-Physics-boxed/dp/...

Well we don't know whether there was what actually amounts to collusion, but assuming there was it might have been required to break Amazon's leverage over the bookseller which was artificially depressing prices.

That wouldn't make it less illegal, but it would be a reasons why it was necessary to restore the market as a pricing mechanism.

When you copy some content from MS Word into the clipboard, it gets copied in a number of formats, including plain text. When you paste it to another application, it is for the application to choose which format to use from the clipboard. I think that the author tried to paste the content to GMail and GMail tried to preserve the original formatting and failed.
There's something in here that says to me that if you just wrapped the tool's (wordpress, drupal, joomla, whathaveyou) admin page in a theme that made it look like a Microsoft Office app, people would warm up to it more. It's amazing the effort that people will put into figuring out how to do something (effectively half-assed, but still be reasonably successful) with Access, and end up doing it wrong, purely because it looks like the rest of the Office apps they know, when they could put just as much effort into another, more proper tool. And it's inexplicable how people will put the time into learning to use something that doesn't doesn't look like an Office app at all, like an Access database or some Word Basic application that runs inside of Word (where the buttons are all misaligned and the colors are inconsistent and the screens are just massive grids of buttons), purely because it's spawned from inside an Office app.

However, making anything look like a Microsoft Office app is offensive to anyone who actually knows how to use these tools.

Read-only is a choice, and it's one G+ is willing to stick to (look back at Vic Gundorota's posts about "curation").
If you're interested in quantum computation, here's a java simulation I wrote several years ago while a physics grad student. It demonstrates both mathematically and visually the relationship between a qubit spinor and the Bloch sphere, as well as various single-qubit operations.
http://www.pha.jhu.edu/~jeffwass/squankum/index.html

As of now it only supports single-qubit operations (thus no entanglement), as I still needed to figure out an intuitive way to graphically represent two qubits. My idea was to show two Bloch spheres to represent the individual qubits, with a third hemisphere to represent the entanglement, but this is only partially implemented as I'd need to think of the right mathematical relationship for this.

I licensed it under the GPL as project 'Squankum' after being contacted by some software engineers at Computer Sciences Corporation who wanted to see the source code.

For entanglement, which is certainly more interesting than a single qubit, here's another (earlier) java simulation of mine that demonstrates two entangled spins, but it's primarily conceptual, and more removed from the mathematical details.

Is there any difference between these 2 situations?

I have paper with sentence "Earth will be destroyed as of 2012.12.21 24:00 UTC". I am at Andromeda. The truth of the sentence changes from 0.000000001 % (or sth, bear with me) to 0% or 100% instantly, at the moment such time passes on Earth. But this doesn't transmit any information, and I still need to wait for regular light to come from Earth to check how exaclty the truth of this sentence changed.

I'm at Andromeda, I have qubit entangled with qubit on Earth. Someone on Earth changes his qubit, and my qubit changed, but I have to wait for regular bits of information, to be able to read these changes from my qubit.
The author clearly has not spent much time using Word lately, and reading this I was constantly struck by the blatant inaccuracies throughout this piece. Some of his biggest complaints just don't align with modern versions of the software he is criticizing:

1) He start's with a rant about Clippy, which hasn't shipped for multiple releases.

2) He complains about the XML markup when you want to publish something to the Web through copy-paste. Has the author ever saved a Word document prior to publishing before? There are a variety of choices when saving a file, including the options to save as Plain Text (which removes all formatting), or even as a web page. No idea if the save as web page feature works well for complex documents, but to overlook this when complaining about publishing a Word doc as a web page demonstrates woeful ignorance of the product being criticized. This is especially ridiculous considering he highlights 3rd party programs that convert .docx into .txt. Why not mention that Word does this out of the box?

3) "The fundamental unit of Word is the single, proprietary file, anchored to one computer. Microsoft showed users how it feels about sharing work when it switched its default format from .doc to .docx in Office 2007, locking old and new Word customers out of each other's files." As far as I can tell, the author pulled this one out of his ass. The 2nd Google search result for ".docx" returns a link to a compatibility pack released by MSFT allowing earlier versions of Word to open .docx files. The 3rd result is the Wikipedia page for "Office Open XML," which is the standards-based format that all Office documents are saved in. (The 1st result is a free online 3rd party .docx to .doc conversion service.)

And these were just the things that immediately jumped out at me....

There are plenty of valid criticisms of Word and ways in which the software can be improved (apparently feature discovery...), but by not understanding how to use even the most basic features such as "Save to Plain Text," I have difficulty putting much stock in this individuals personal gripes.

(Disclaimer: I work for MSFT, but not within the Office division. The above is my own personal opinion, etc., etc.)
The point is that the 1% can potentially turn into a huge amount of money. Let's take the most extreme example: Facebook. If they gave 1% of their equity to a cause in the early stages, it doesn't seem like much. But with their IPO, it's now worth $1 billion. Facebook would never give a $1B donation to charity now, but they are held accountable to what they originally gave in equity.

STOCK MARKET CALLS | ANALYSIS | NIFTY OUTLOOK 12TH APRIL 2012
My girlfriend is an academic and uses the track changes feature all the time when writing or editing papers and articles. When you add Endnote integration and the fact that most journals outside of the hard math heavy sciences want Word documents, Word is clearly the best choice.

Does she NEED Word? Technically not I suppose, but Word is the tool that makes her job the easiest. That being said she still curses Word and Endnote all the time, so there is no doubt room for improvement.

> But as long as the content isn't being completely neglected, I think we should forgive people for wanting to control the font in which their writings appear, or for wanting their quotes to look "smart", or for spending 20 minutes tweaking the line spacing of their resume. It's human nature to mix a sense of aesthetics with everything.

Except that almost nobody I know does that. It's quite the opposite, actually - most of the people I interact with don't give a crap about how the text looks, as long as the content is right. Sometimes it applies even to people earning money on publishing, like Internet journalists. I can spot spelling, punctiation and spacing mistakes immediately, almost subconsciously, after looking at the text and because of that I tend to annoy many people by insisting that no, a text full of typos, misplaced spaces and without much formatting is NOT of an acceptable quality.

Why people completely don't care about aesthetics is beyond me. Maybe I watched too much TV series (like Star Trek: TNG) in my childhood and now believe that pretty and functional are not mutually exclusive?

This could be a good idea to improve bounce management from the client, if only for the reason that 80-90% of the world population simply don't understand english at all -- all bounces AFAIK are always in english, for a start.
So I still don't see the advantage to facebook pledging 1%. Seems like you just explained why everyone would want to have had 1% in facebook at that time.

> Facebook would never give a $1B donation to charity now, but they are held accountable to what they originally gave in equity.

Perhaps there's a reason why facebook wouldn't give $1B right now. So in hindsight that 1% donated would seem like a bad idea at this stage. So why not (for the startup) just wait and donate what feels right if they do get big?
the kid is a hacker and tinkerer. perhaps the most moving part of the story is the myriad clever ways he approximated all the things he wanted to do.

why reward that with giving him the "actual thing"? it may show your generosity as a benefactor but it does nothing to continue to stoke the flames of hacker in him.

donate some breadboards and electrical components, parts for a receipt printer, stuff that will allow him to continue to improve his approximations and simultaneously continue to tickle his mind (in learning how these things work).
