How could you possibly can think that knowing someone's actual real identity, which is publicly linked to mountains of personality and behavior and social connection details, is irrelevant to advertising?

There are many people who use math in daily life problem solving and others who don't know how to do it. They don't know how the individual math chapters interact together with a larger whole. If they knew how it interacted with a larger whole they wouldn't ask "When will I ever use math?".

Here's what Russel Ackoff professor of systems sciences had to say about it

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdBiXbuD1h4 (3 parts)

Analytical thinking allows you to analyze the system at hand in a way that let you describe its behavior, its structure; it allows you to answer the “how?” question. Yet, it never helps you answering the “why?” question.

So, we [Ackoff and his colleagues] had to develop a new way of thinking; the “systemic thinking” [,or sometimes it’s called “synthesis”]

Synthesis, or systems thinking, allows you to truly understand the system and answer the “why?” question. Actually, it also has 3 steps (the same numbers of step for the traditional analysis), and each single step is interestingly quite the “opposite” to the corresponding step in analysis!

Traditional Analysis

1. You take the thing you want to understand apart.

2. You explain the behavior of each part taken separately.

3. You explain the behavior of the containing whole. So if we’re trying to explain a university, we have to first explain the education system of which the university is a part.

Synthesis (or Systems Thinking)

1. You take the thing you want to understand as a part of a larger whole.

2. You aggregate your explanation of the parts into an understanding of the whole.

3. You dis-aggregate the understanding of the whole into an understanding of the parts, so that we explain by identifying their role or function of a system in the larger system which it’s a part. And the explanation of a behavior of a system lies in its role or function in the larger system of which it’s a part.

Example - You go to a business school and you look at the course structure. You study marketing as a separate subject, finance as a seprate subject, production as a seperate subject. The net result is at the end of the business school you have no understanding of what a business is and not even the understanding of its parts. You can't study production independently without understanding how it interacts with marketing, finance, personnel, product and so on

I got my first email, here's some feedback.

You should make sure that the summaries don't scale linearly with the size of the content--just because an article is 10x as long, doesn't mean I want a summary to be 10x longer. Maybe scale logarithmically?

I didn't find any of the summaries to be high quality or any better than I could get from briefly skimming HN myself.

I've unsubscribed.
Very cool. I really like the numbers / page changing system as well -- thought it's a fairly small area to have to click.

Nicely done!

Your webpage layout sucks: in a Browser half a window wide (Opera 11.61, 64-bit Win7, 1680x1050 resolution), the text overflows past the right margin. When I scroll it horizontally, the blue block of text ("Paul Stamatiou") and the purple ad overlap the text. This (1st line of text) is where I stopped reading.

So why not simply begin with a mail client plugin for that?

I imagine something like that:

When the user clicks "New Email" and types in the mail address the mail client would automatically connect to that domain and retrieve a list of the required metadata. Or you'd need to send an email that nobody except your server will ever see. But that may be too slow.

Then in the mail client you will get a notification (hopefully not an annoying popup) that the server supports "semantic mails" and that when using it you make the lives of people easier and probably get an answer faster.

What types of mail does it support? (Bugreport, Task, ...). That's the first thing you chose.

What fields are required? What fields are optional? What data type does each field take? You then can just draw appropriate widgets.

That would be a basic idea. Probably needs some tweaking, but doesn't seem that bad to me.

You know whats absolutely stunning about this baseline and every discussion on here about it? Not a single mention of any kind of understanding of design. Thats nothing short of ridiculous.

I'd take ten front-enders who knew about baselines and typographic rhythm, relative font-sizes etc. before I took one of these guys. Why? Because these are the people translating your designs into the final medium, so you have to be damned sure they will get it right. Without knowing how to use CSS to represent designs you are pretty much useless to me.

If you've ever had to hold an HTML guys hand through properly aligning the type or matching up colours then you would understand how painful it can be, and how vital this knowledge is.

I love the idea of treating web-sites more like applications. From a programmer's point of view - yes, keyboard should be a more utilized way of interacting with a web-site, beyond arrow-navigation and filling text-boxes.
BTW it isn't very clear how to download the apps - took a couple minutes to figure out that you had to click those litte icons on the home page and when you are logged in you have no way of knowing.
>But no, I don't agree with you that humans' desire to live is any more real or special than a lizard's, or a tree's, or a rock's desire not to break apart for that matter. It's a natural extension of physical laws combined with the circumstances of our evolution as a system--in this case linked directly to our basest subconscious instincts. To say that your desire to live is fundamentally stronger or more complicated than that of a deer reeks of geocentrism of the ancient world to me.

You say "more real or special" here, though, whereas you said "simpler" in your previous comment.

You get back to the same argument at the end though: "To say that your desire to live is fundamentally stronger or more complicated than that of a deer reeks of geocentrism of the ancient world to me."

It might not be more "real or special" or "stronger" (I never argued that it was anyway), but it SURE is more complicated.

And to deny that reeks of obsessive reductionism to me. The desire to live as expressed and felt by some billion (trillion?) neurons of a human, is more complex than the desire to live as expressed by the primitive brain of a lizard, or even a "rock's desire not to break apart" (!). I don't even think we can call the latter "desire".

We can feel everything a deer can feel about the desire to live (horror, survival instinct, etc --we're animals after all), but ON TOP OF THIS we can write poems, sing songs, make movies and have deep conversations about it. Including massive institutions on the matter, such as religion.

I'd call that more complex --calling it anything else would be delusional.

It frustrates me that these ROI calculations are done as comparisons between two separate populations, each with different characteristics like raw intelligence or work ethic. Return on investment should be looking at treatment effects only.

For example, it may be that science minded people have higher salaries in general, and those people also tend to apply to technical schools. In that case, the real ROI is from being technically minded, not from attending a school that focuses on that.

A better test would be looking at kids that got into both Harvey Mudd and MIT and separating them into populations based on where each kid decided to matriculate. That way you're factoring out the admissions bias.

Malcolm Gladwell wrote an article in the New Yorker about the difference between state schools and Ivy League schools that actually looked at treatment effects. And he found that there were none for the majority of the population.

I haven't seen one of these done for college vs. no college, but that would be much more valuable than misleading shit like this.

South Africa had a nuclear program, apartheid, and a few interesting property laws. But then they had a regime change and the previous way of thinking have been wiped "from the pages of history"; npt signing in 1991, cwc in 95.

SA split in two forming Namibia in 1990, the same year that the talks to end Apartheid started ... leading to the release of Mandela and the multi-racial 94 elections.

Sure, in California English, I'd be using different idioms for describing that transformation, but that is the whole point here ... sometimes idioms don't translate well and the nuanced connotative punch of a colloquialism can have different impacts in different areas. Some things just don't translate well; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_will_bury_you (although that one feels more like this: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/195/treehouse2.jpg/sr=1 ... who's to know?)

I would be in wide support for something similar to Israel, but instead of having say, a non-jewish prime minister, they take a Jewish State loyalty oath; an interesting opposite. Statehood ecumenism is seen as a radical idea in Israeli political discourse.

I'd just like them to be more inclusive and a bit less violent.

Yeah these comparisons are typically done incorrectly, as you note. Although Gladwell is often wrong, in this case he happens to agree with most research on the subject, in that the effects are small if at all present. However, it's worth noting that doing a study properly is difficult and there are issues with every single one, so we can't really be too confident of the result.

A similar argument shows that the "$2.3 million" benefit of college over high school is vastly overstated, although there is actually some effect in this case.

I really want to see one for no college vs college. People who got into MIT/Ivy Leagues/etc but decided not to go to college vs people who did go to the elites. Would finally stop people from doing the extraordinarily frustrating dual quotation of "going to college matters, they studied people who didn't go to college and people who did and those who did make way more money" + "but which college you go to doesn't matter, they studied people who got into ivies and went to state schools vs people who went to ivies and there was no difference!"

In the first case you're using two separate populations, and in the second you're not. Assholes.

EDIT: Actually fascinating that they found 191 schools with negative ROI using their ranking system. Suggests that the school really does matter - getting a simple degree isn't what differentiates you anymore, it really is where you get it from. Or perhaps those students just can't match par with the 75th percentile of high school grads, as that was their ranking criteria.

The JOBS act really helps my company -- we're too far along for VC, but not far enough along for a public IPO. The post-VC, private equity market makes the most sense, but as you noted, the amount of money you can raise that way pre-JOBS act is far too low, making companies like mine (Pixar for live-action filmmaking) either at the mercy/generosity of a Steve Jobs-like figure (literally), or simply not funded at all since we exist in the Government-created financial no-mans land. Either is far from ideal.

The JOBS act, at least for our company, changes this and makes a previously non-viable-through-inadvertent-regulation company suddenly viable. That's why I supported it, and continue to do so.

The cool thing about quantum mechanics is that a man-in-the-middle attach won't work!

The reason for this is the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, which states that there are certain attributes of a particle where we can't know both of them perfectly. The classic example of this is position and energy.

The relevant attributes here, though, are angular momentum (spin) in the "left/right" and "up/down" directions. Think of a particle as two arrows, one pointed either left or right, and the other pointed either up or down. The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle states that if I know with 100% accuracy that a particle is pointed left (or right), I can't know anything about if it's pointed up or down, and vice versa. In fact, if I measure the left/rightness of a particle, the up/downness gets set randomly to be either of them.

So quantum communication works more or less like this: We agree that left and up correspond to a 1, and right and down correspond to a zero. So if I want to send a 1, I randomly choose a either a left or an up, and send it to you. Then, on your end, you randomly choose an axis to measure on, and after I've measured, we tell each other (through a public channel) which axis we measured on. If we agree, we use the bit, otherwise, we throw it away.

Ok, so now, what if Eve comes in the middle and steals our electron, reads it, and sends it again. Well, she doesn't know what axis to measure on! So if I send it on the up/down axis, Eve measures it on the right/left axis, and you measure it on the up/down axis, you have a 50% chance of getting a wrong answer. So if we take a few bits at random and publish them, we can get a pretty good idea if someone's snooping.

Also, Eve can't copy our particle, because if she could, she could read one axis from one particle and the second from the other, which would violate the Uncertainty Principle (this result is known as the No-Cloning theorem).
