> On the day, the 3,000 O2 employees saved 2,000 hours of commuting time, with the majority of that saved time (52 percent) spent working.

That seems positive for O2, and I'm not sure it would last.

My hours are 09:00-18:00. Just because I have to leave the house at 08:00 to commute doesn't mean that's the time I should start work if I'm telecommuting.
"do not expect to make it big, sale and not pay back your due"

Someone who creates a company where here was previously none creates jobs and pays taxes every step of the way. I feel it is morally wrong to 'extra-tax' them just because they make it big.

You know people just opt to skip Denmark all together right? (like they're already doing now).

There really is no 'free' education. It is paid by the productive people working in Denmark. Government can only spend money they take from their people using taxes.

I work 3/5 days from home, and I'm way more productive.

BUT, I also find that it's been very, very difficult to build the relationships required to do effective innovation or research and development. There's just not enough recurrent team communication to get ideas to stick or be elaborated.

However, another variables in my case is that ~85% of my team is telecommuting from around the US. And, to make it worse, our team started off telecommute. I have only ever worked in-person with the rest of the team 3 times, ever.

I suspect that the best mix would be all of us working from home most of the time, but with more opportunities for 'all-hands' co-working team sessions.

This reminds me of Zynga bosses talking about how they need to avoid the 'Google Chef' effect where a chef ended up with millions in shares.

People see an investor or founder making millions and think that it wouldn't be so bad to tax them a little more. It's better than taxing lower-middle income families a little more, isn't it/

Thinking of risk as a thing that needs to be compensated is something that needs to be learned.

From an ignorance and slightly tongue in cheek POV...

...is there a difference between discovering a new exploit and discovering a company is open to an old or well known exploit? This sounds like the latter.

I'm all for disclosure of a newly found exploit because by doing so you are informing every one who might have the problem and that allows them to take action, etc. But if this is just one business who refuse to fix a known problem then, well, that's their stupidity, no?

See, the bit that bothers me is that publishing the "news" that one company is vulnerable has to be a bit iffy. Its like publishing a list of buildings that don't have good door locks or something. We don't see that in the real world, so why would it be reasonable for the IT world? I mean, there is no legitimate list of vulnerable buildings created by white hat burglars, is there? Its never been legit for such burglars to gain access to a building and leave a note describing the poor security on the CEO's desk.

The bulk of the programming work in this world was not performed by handsome people in suits or fine cloths at clean desks in fabric covered boxes with serious professional expressions on between the hours of 9 to 5 under the direction and supervision of a non technical manager (with regular staff meetings).

The best programming is on par with performing neurosurgery on humans, we don't put neurosurgeons in a cubicle from 9 to 5 and measure them by how many hours they sat in the surgery room chair. We don't force them to "look busy" in their cubicle after they did a tough operation for 3 hours. A good neurosurgeon has to be on top of his game when he is cutting people. Humans are not on top of their game when they are forced to "look busy" for 8 hours a day.
The OP was asking about Perl 6, not Perl 5. Perl 6 has enough interesting things that a python programmer might get interested but Perl5 is a pain to use (coming from the python perspective).

A lot of the cost of a Barrett WAM arm (for example, they're popular in industry and research) is the controllers and motors. In order to get sufficient precision for pick and place you either move very slowly, or fast with extremely high gains. High gains mean overshoot unless you can also run the control system at warp speed. All that combined means the solution is non-trivial, and the few companies that have solved it can sell it at the sorts of prices we quoted.

As for computer vision, sure, it's possible. But an RGBD camera (e.g. Kinect) will be better. Condensing the explanation, these sensors project a grid of near-IR light using a laser, then use an IR sensitive camera to pick up the grid, noting that it is distorted by obstacles in the environment. These distortions can be used to determine the distance to corners in the grid. A normal RGB camera picks up colour, and putting it all together we get a 3D coloured image from a single frame. You cannot do that with a single camera in a single frame. You can do it with two cameras, but arguably its harder and more expensive.

Thanks for posting the video too, looks like a fun project.

Counterpoint; after some time experimenting, I work much better at work than I do at home.

Work, for me, is fairly relaxed; I can turn up whenever and leave at my convenience. Attitudes are relaxed and I have my own office.

At first working at home was great and I was very productive. But then the temptation of procrastination crept in. I slept later because "I don't have to travel anywhere", and that got to the point I would start work at 11 and finish by 3. There were few interruptions to break up my day so I got bored faster.

I enjoy working at work now; it is much more sociable.

Just my viewpoint :)
Maybe the solution to SR is more/better learning. The computer could ask for confirmation/clarification, and gradually learn your speach patterns over time - lessening the need for constant clarification. This sounds achievable. People in Scotland should be able to talk to Siri, the learning phase should just be a little longer.
absolutely nice game! nice avatar graphics by the way :P
>We don't force them to "look busy"

Working in a place where that was required damn near drove me crazy and made me extremely unproductive (since you learn how to look busy and find yourself using your newly acquired skill at every possible opportunity, possibly out of spite). Managers take note - you are shooting yourselves in the foot with such policies.
You should never "wait" for a programming language. :) I say this as someone who is deeply involved in Perl 6 development.

Learn Perl 5 if you want to learn how a full-featured, complete, and liberating-to-use programming language works.

Check out Perl 6 if you want to see what some of us are building, and if you value ideas as such, even when they haven't all been put together into a finished, polished product.

You Will
I guess if you have a central SR processor which everyone's connecting with (as per proposed solution for issue 1) then you also have a huge amount of incoming data from all of your users. That means your system can evolve by taking feedback on errors its made, and can rapidly improve based on this new information, building larger dictionaries, taking info such as location data to improve context awareness, and using the vast volume of samples to improve SR where unusual accents are involved.
Do NOT use it.

Okay, but I'd love to know what the alternative is. I can't picture any more efficient method to organize the web, not that that means it isn't out there.

Search implies loss, as the author says. But it also implies that you can be anyone or anything and be found, in the vast swamp of the internet.

Bad news?

I think it'd be cool if contributors were encouraged to remove blatant opinions from flame bait headlines. I think this would show more respect to our intelligence and openness as a community. I value the discussions on hacker news more than the articles themselves and I think it's too bad that this discussion started out with a biased tilt.

I think something more like "Google made a future vision video" would have been a more appropriate headline. Then, if the community actually thinks it's bad news, they can comment on the story and say so. I'd rather discuss plain facts than the opinion of a time magazine article.

Hmm, I don't care if people stop drinking. I care that it's such a huge part of the atmosphere and identity of so many events.

This is very tricky to do. Once you are part of a big company you are risking more than just your small startup.

There is brand risk - if a startup makes a bad product, then petfud.ly looks bad. If MS Startup Division does, MS looks bad.

If a startup makes a bad product that kills people (or they take on risky contracts with a big downside), they get sued out of existence. If some small division of MS does, MS gets sued out of existence.

Big companies are less agile for a good reason. They have a lot more to lose.
The problem is that if you try to delegate responsibility for avoiding the scenario where the information is "lost" to begin with, you have to make sure that the process performing the searching and organizing knows what to look for at least as well as, or better than, the person for who the finding is being performed. I'll be very impressed if you can create an algorithm that knows what I want, up to the second, better than I do.

Agreed. I think the author is focussing too much on semantics as opposed to intent, which is to filter. His over-emphasis of the word "lost" misleads us into thinking that the fact that we're searching suggests that we lost something to begin with. Perhaps an alternate view is that we didn't lose anything, but we had too much to begin with. Eliminating noise is the real problem. Doing so exposes that which we wanted, which was in fact always in front of us to begin with.
Is wikipedia becoming too monochrome black & white TV
Wikipedia is a great knowledge sharing sites. It has spread millions of people free knowledge. With current condition wikipedia is becoming more stagnant(interaction) and one way communication medium. Though there are links to external system, articles etc, but it lacks modern IM or Commenting system.

In case I want to modify the context I need to login and edit the content and submit. This seems to be old methodology. With new Jquery and Commenting system user can click particular paragraph add an edit or comment on particular paragraph and user can upvote and downvote.

This idea focuses to bring new social features to wikipedia to become socio-pedia(social wikipedia)
I take issue with the premise that search implies loss. When you solve a maths problem you could be "searching for an answer" -- it doesn't mean you've lost it before now. For me, Google isn't really about searching for something you're missing, it's about solving a problem. So it's not really serving results, it's serving "answers". Some of them are more correct than others.

I don't see that search is broken at all. I think search is one tool in a great arsenal of other tools, like social media, blogs, sites like HN, that we have available for discovery of new content and new sites.

Apple Likely To Launch Sixth Generation iPhone at WWDC in June This Year
For Apple iPhone addicts, here is a good news: Apple Inc. is going to launch iPhone 5 in the coming June.
I think he's arguing that Google has less of an established character because they've put less effort into establishing one than Apple -- they're more a bunch of teams working for the same company than one company.

I agree with this point, but I think Google is moving away from this, which I think will be healthy in the short term and unhealthy in the longterm. Focused companies need focused leaders. I think Larry Page is filling the Steve Jobs role nicely right now, but if he falters the whole company will falter with him.
I think this Motorola product is even more relevant:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden-i
I don't understand his jump from "search is unpleasant and implies loss" to "search is dead". Cleaning bathrooms is also unpleasant, but to say companies specializing in it are dead? I don't think we ever globally solved the lost car keys and lost pets issues, either. It's a fact of life. The world is a complex mess. Thinking you can "just organize it" is hopelessly idealistic.

Edit: And he also implies that all searching is for things that we had in the first place. He completely forgets about searching for new information or things. Searching a library doesn't have to be unpleasant.

I think there's a way around this. For example, YouTube has remained a relatively separate brand from Google so I think things they do wouldn't reflect back on Google as much.

One company I think is really good at this is Amazon. IMDB, dpreview, Audible, Zappos, Woot, and Endless all have maintained their brand fidelity while also benefitting tremendously from Amazon's technology and assets.

Even negative press for Amazon's Web Services doesn't really impact the Amazon brand in most consumers eyes, which is pretty amazing in my opinion.

In place of spewing this nonsensical shit, you could have quoted me an example of "exponential gains".

Out of curiosity, have you actually programmed in Lisp or Haskell? I am not saying you have, I am not saying you haven't; it's just that people who claim "fuck yeah macros - now I am 100x more productive" are mostly people who haven't actually used them and are regurgitating blogosphere bullshit.
I am not so sure. To be a good web developer, you need to have a familiarity beyond css, js, html, and the framework you are using. You should be able to understand the underlying protocol, for example, what do the HTTP headers look like? How are they separated? How can SQL injection be dependent on header contents? You can unknowingly build a vulnerable web app if you don't understand the mechanics.

And in my mind, "serious about programming" extends beyond building web apps.

Slide to Code
Interesting question.

Spec says
'a is always handled by the processor before b, and is the lower six bits.'

For Non-basic opcodes, 'a' is actually the opcode, and b is the argument. This would imply JSR is evaluated before POP.

What we want JSR POP to mean, of course, is 'jump to the last item on the stack, then push PC+1 to stack'. So I would guess that's how it actually works, and the spec needs a revision.
