5) You don't have a TOS, which is awesome, because I hate censorship. Can I assume that you will eventually install the standard one, which forbids pretty much everything, depending on interpretation at your sole discretion?
I shut it off after a few minutes (not a huge techno fan), but it did shame me into going back to work on an iPhone app I've been putting off for far too long (which is great because I built it for myself and there have been numerous times when I've had occasion to use it since I thought of it).
Since 2000, I've spent half my time in locations with only dialup internet access at home. While I can still get distracted by Hacker News (as I just now have when I had meant to come out and enjoy an hour of spring twilight), it does cut down on the distraction level significantly.

My laptop is entirely self-contained, with everything from mail archives to my blog in git (and large files managed by git-annex). So when the net does go out I can easily not notice for an hour or two. Or, this winter, when my solar power reserves got really low and I couldn't afford to run the internet connection after dark, it was not a big deal.

In time periods when I have broadband at home, I have considered putting a dialup throttle on it, but could never quite bring myself to do it. :)
I wouldn't use the word problems, remember that Apple is in the business of selling them. If a gimmick sells them, so be it; Siri helped with S4 and Retina is helping with the iPad3.

I agree that Windows 8 tablets or slimbooks might give Apple a run for their money. Personally I prefer an ultra light laptop with touchscreen over a tablet. They're easier to hold (floor, thighs...) you can move the screen back and forth and I can use them for a lot of other things.

Notebook prices are dirt cheap now, for less than $600 you can get an amazing Win 7 laptop with 1 TB drive, 6 Gig Ram and so on so maybe they'll do something cool and cheap with Windows 8.
I completely agree and I find it mystifying that you would be downvoted for that comment.
Not in the US. iPhones bought for full price from the Apple store in the US were still locked to AT&T.
> The British government has a special office for behavioral economics, and I work with them. At the moment we are focusing particularly on taxes − trying to get people to be persuaded to pay taxes − and on education.

This is both hilarious and damn scary.
> that the direct proceeds from illegal enterprises can't be used to fund the legal fees of the accused

I like how the determination that something is an illegal enterprise did not require a trial. Our gov't must save a lot of money that way.
(Also my first listen). The piano repeats exactly the same 4 clusters over and over. I wouldn't call that random. It's soothing to me after giving it 60 sec in the background.

Skipping ahead 30 sec at a time is definitely a sign you don't like something. What are you hoping to find at the end? :)

Anyway, you're right. Artistic taste is personal. Sometimes I think the majority of our judgment is more about avoiding turn-offs than really feeling something new.

Your link sounds nice to me at those times, too.
Very interesting post. The biggest thing it’s gotten me to think about is whether we’ve been using the internet “wrong” the past two decades. Maybe at some point in the future (or the present, for this blogger), the internet will be confined to something we only use at a certain time of the day. Or something else will supplant the internet as our leisure activity.

I’ve actually been running similar experiments, and you can start trying this in a much easier way than cancelling your internet. http://ndrw.me/2012/03/01/afternoon-refresh/

My experience (round 1) wasn't good nor very popular among the most "pro-startupchile" individuals. It's documented here: http://hervalicio.us/post/14915671294/on-startup-chile

Basically, it's a good opportunity if you don't have a business network (or a business) and go there with the sole objective of networking and getting to know people. Other than that, it's a great opportunity for tourism (most people I hear saying they "loved the program" were very focused on getting girlfriends and visiting the idillic places of Chile). Not much more than that, I'm afraid...

In any case, I heard from more recent batches that things changed a lot in rounds 2 and 3 (not sure if for better or worse).
I love Forbes but they've gotten it horribly wrong. In East Lansing we want to be the next Boulder. It's a big audacious goal but it is also within the realm of being achievable.

PS Strongly agree with Brad Feld if you are to succeed it has be led and run by the entrepreneurs or it won't work.
Simply put: the lack of work/life balance due to not setting environmental boundaries at the onset of self employment had destroyed your productivity within both work and life.

I suggest continuing to work from an office of some sort - be it the coffee shop, a co-working space, or renting a room or desk in someone else's office, so you can continue to separate your work and life environments.

You can turn on the internet at your apartment, but place priority in what you actually want to do outside of work by granting those things greater space in that environment. If you like to read, have books easily accessible for you to pick up and read. Get a nice chair/couch for you to sit and enjoy reading. Build a nice wall of bookshelves for your books. Join book clubs, arrange lunch/dinner with people who also like to read, etc.

Make your priorities visual.

Very interesting idea. Looks like some form of NetJets on a budget.
I am currently in Nicaragua. I am from the USA and don't have health insurance. I had a toothache that was periodically dehabilitating, mostly in high altitudes.

Having an irrational fear of the dentist and a rational fear of dental bills, I put it off for longer than I should have, and only last week got my work done in Managua.

A root canal, 3 cavities, a half a dozen or so xrays and a teeth cleaning was about $600; and included 3 visits and xanax for 2 of the 3 visits.

The last root canal I had in the USA was in 2002, and cost 1100 with insurance.

I went to one of the most expensive dentists in Managua because he was recommended highly and spoke perfect english, and I didn't really trust my spanish.

Really interesting to wrap this phenomenon in a profitable venture; but I found it easy to get the information myself.

I would 100% absolutely do it again.

Given that someone already wrote something (scratching their own itch, hoped to make money but gave up, altruism), they may decide to jump from low adoption+recognition to potential ubiquity by releasing the software free for others to exploit. On the basis of individual incentive alone, this is inevitable.

With straight calculators, I don't know if there's a whole lot better for them to get than the 89. For anything more advanced than the built in computer algebra system and BASIC can handle (which goes quite a way, the CAS is really pretty good), you'd likely want to do on a "real" computer anyway, strictly for interface (screen and keyboard) reasons.
Replicating what already works is one option. Building off that and creating something that is yet to be known is another option.
Show HN: FizzBuzz in an esoteric programming language.
I've been contemplating applying for HackerSchool, so I was looking at the application and saw the piece about FizzBuzz. I'd somehow never heard of this before. It is a trivial task in a conventional language, so I thought I would have some fun on a long internet-less train ride back to Rochester.

Great piece, very much sharing something very painful from the heart.

Potentially off-topic but I have to say, some of the comments on the actual blog post are horrendous. particularly:-

"You sound like just a weak person."

"You should try farming some time. What you described is what a farmer would think of as 'retirement'"

I've found that sort of nastiness (totally invalid nastiness to boot) extremely distressing. These commenters are fucking idiots who have no idea what they're talking about, passing on their own frustrations to others.

Sometimes I feel like no longer doing anything on the public internet knowing that kind of person lurks out there. Seems to be particularly bad in our profession.

It actually makes me feel like I don't want to admit to my own weaknesses, nor risk making mistakes which might make me look stupid in case the internet tough guy bullies get involved.

Can't wait to see the response and the PR campaign launched by American Dental Association (or whatever it is called).

"<fade in> <sad marimba music playing> <black and white scene> some guy is on the floor in fetal position, in some dirty antiquated medical office, he is alone, holding his jaw with his hand. Camera slowly zooms out, out of the windows, we see he is in Bangkok. Voice over "thinking of trying dental tourism? Think again!" < fade out >"

On a related topic. I've been practicing medical tourism for 15 years now. Had 1 surgery, dental work, regular comprehensive full panel tests and saved lots of money. (I went to Eastern Europe). What can I say. I go and also visit friends and I have connections there to know which doctors are good. Can't imagine just going there without knowing the doctors or knowing the country. Corruption is rampant. Imagine it is the same in Thailand or South America. Once this takes off, there will be lots of opportunity there to prey on American "health" tourists. I would have to really trust the whole chain of connections : company that manages this, people they employ locally, local doctors, nurses.

If you actually read the linked article you'll see it has almost nothing to do with graphic or web design, but rather digital design is used as a less highbrow synonym for "information architecture".
Nitpick:

> If you write, read, bookmark, share or search for something like this [0], does your conditional probability of killing someone go up?

I would guess yes - it seems likely that the fraction of killers who look up things like that is greater than the fraction of not-killers. Even taking into account that some killers will look up stuff like that and hide their tracks.

(Remember that killers, too, may be morbidly curious. Assume they're just as likely as anyone else to be. Then we're really comparing "how many killers looked stuff up specifically to learn to hide their crimes?" versus "how many people who subsequently became killers refrained from looking stuff up out of morbid curiousity, because they didn't want it used as evidence against them in future?")

But not so much higher that it's strong evidence, so your point stands.

That's a fairly common compression technique on PS3 titles. Breaking the file into regularly sized chunks about 64kb (for lzma) permits decompression of the file in parallel on the SPUs as the dictionary and decompressed data can fit entirely in local store.

Since optical drives have terrible seek times and low bandwidth most assets are stored compressed on disc.

For what's it's worth too, the bail for MU and others were granted because most of what the police said were made up stuff. You probably heard about this when they seized empty accounts.

I wouldn't be surprised if the indictment was also an overton window to make MU crack and seek a plea deal because of USA's enforcement reputation for trumped up charges.
They are running out of places to stuff all their bags of money, but yet they "have a fairly small team"? Hiring is tough, I know, but it's a lot easier when you can pay about whatever you need to to get talent.
If an article looks interesting, I usually comment saying, "Sounds interesting; I'm not going to use that social reader app, but I will look up the article later." That lets people know that if they really want their friends to read an article they'll get more bites if they post it as a link. Fewer people using the app does affect the market, and the plugin removes the main disincentive to using it, which is that your friends will ignore the links you post. It's better to raise awareness of that disincentive than to bypass it.
GPL 2 does. Look at my response to the sister post to yours.
Boards had a high cost/benefit in the wrong vectors. While they acquired a very low-barrier (i mean low IQ requirement) feature that has great SEO and pageviews benefits, it had a high cost of increasing noise and diluting the Q&A DNA of the product. What i didn't understand was why didn't they go into more related and deeper dimensions of Q&A like interviews, product FAQs, debate, surveys and polls. These are branches of the same tree with lesser noise penalty than a 'board that you can cram ANY kind of content'.

There is one explanation for this move though. Pinterest-envy.

Since it may not be obvious, questions like http://www.quora.com/Communication/If-you-had-a-conversation... won't show up in feeds unless you follow the Joke Questions topic. There are several other topics applied to content that doesn't have broad appeal like Quora Community. The alternative is to actively delete questions like this but the reality is that the site is too active for that to be feasible, also, regular users aren't doing the same kind of content curation that they used to. Questions used to get quickly edited or flagged, now they just sit there until they get activity and users just answer them without fixing grammar, punctuation etc... so part of the problem is that the number of people who care about curating content hasn't scaled with the over-all population.

The simplicity was important but more as a signal of quality.

I remember being frustrated at Altavista's or'ing of all your search terms; it often made attempts to refine your search counterproductive.

Google's results were just amazingingly good in comparison.

Also ..

DEC saw Altavista as way to publicise its "giant" computers. Eight Gb RAM back in 2000ish was amazing. But I and so many others could see that search was eminently suitable for a parallel solution. Using single (or few) large computers was missing an opportunity. This just reflected badly on DEC and Altavista. And I was reminded of Ken Olsen's famous quote of there being no need for a computer in the home. (unfairly apparently - it was taken out of context) It added up to a bad image.
I agree the site doesn't look that great, but I've been a happy subscriber for years. I prefer the "Chillout Dreams" and "Vocal Trance" channels over all the others.

Not only do people not pay for public schools in the same way they buy sweet & salty snacks because they want them, nobody "votes for federal education spending". About 1/2 of people who can vote in presidential election years and in other years about 1/3. Less than 1% of candidates propose even cuts to federal education spending, let alone abolishing the DOE.

$200 million goes to the Institute of Educational Sciences to track score data. In the absence of the IES would people pay this much for the data? I don't think so.

I'm not sure what you mean by "Anything else is sustainable only by wishful thinking." Education is not fundamentally different than any other good or service, besides that it is "important" and easy to convince the majority of people that it will cease to exist if the government doesn't provide it.
