All of which is possible by creating a package for existing package managers. It's how I tend to manage services: I build packages that depend on the other packages I need, and that uses post-install hooks to orchestrate the connections between various services, or replaces config files.

The level of support for cleanly handling things like replacing config files vary between package managers, but I've done this easily enough with both dpkg and rpm.
But always wearing glasses is certainly not more convenient than just using a device when you need it. It is like stripping your Smartphone on your wrist so you don't need to pull it out of the pocket.

Also I doubt the vision will work that good like in the video. Just a detail: Imagine the battery constraint of an always-on and always-connected device! The glasses would be heavy!

And second I find the Google googles vision more scary than awesome. Like someone quipped on a former thread "why would an advertising company would want to put a filter between your eyeballs and reality?" And while I understand that many would love a more cyberpunk-like future it frightens me. Imagine the amount of pointless distraction to always have a newsfeed in your visual field! Imagine the procrastination of people always lurking reddit or facebook or hackernews! You know how incredible rude it is when you are talking to people but they are checking their phone? And last not least: Imagine getting used to the glasses and not functioning without it anymore!!
Exactly, it's not a programmer thing, it's a culture thing.

Non-development oriented conferences I've been to end up in the bar too.

It's not just conferences, plenty of non developer activities I've been to end up with most people congregating in a pub/bar afterwards, all of them with a mix of age ranges and healthy ratio of women/men. Mountain biking trips, rock climbing weekends, skiing trips, beer festivals - actually scratch that last one.

It might be more pronounced in tech companies and conferences than in some other areas because the age range is probably skewed a bit more to the lower end (baseless assumption) than in other fields?

Yeah you never want a firestorm of interest around new products.
If I had a huge company, I would probably try to operate the departments like little startups. It is probably really hard to avoid the drudgery of bureaucracy and whatnot in big companies. Having more resources could be a curse.

Therefore I think MVP might have merit even for large corporations.

Also, studies seem to show again and again that nobody can predict the future success of a product, which would speak in favor of MVPs even for big corps.

> I am going to neglect the responses 'Bullshit' basically because that means you don't have an answer at the moment.

Saying 'python feels like java' or 'exponential gains from switching language' is bullshit, and augmenting it with "calling it bullshit means you don't have an answer" is more bullshit.

> But I can't convince that to people who can't look beyond 'readability matters' and consider that as the Pinnacle of programming language design.

I don't remember mentioning 'readability matters' as being pinnacle of programming. You are responding to arguments you are imagining I am making.

> Sorry to ruin your party. But there are languages where there are exponential gains in productivity with time. Languages like Lisp, Perk, Haskell etc.

Get off your high horse. Lisp, Perl, Haskell aren't some exclusive club only you are allowed into. I have used Racket, Clojure, Python, Ruby etc. and if your gains are exponential accumulated over a period of 1 month between say Python and Racket, be assured you are a very lousy Python programmer. Let alone exponential, a gain of even 2x is quite a stretch. Why don't you put your money where your mouth is and show me your 'exponential gains'?

About speech recognition:

Google has very many computers. Google has many smart people. Google knows how to wrangle large data sets.

Google also has a bajiliion customers, and those customers are used to jumping through various hoops. Google could get many people to speak words from a dictionary; and then wrangle that data to improve speech recognition. (I'd be interested in differences between languages and quality of recognition.)

Couldn't disagree with you more.
Not initially, but later I intend to allow the Silos to accept 'wrapped-up' transactions. I've previously worked with a DB-like system which allowed historic transactions to be reversed-out. This requires that the updates to the Silos become fine-grained - e.g. "update field 'foo' to the result of that query plus two", rather than just updating 'foo' to 42. This will take a lot of work, but will produce a system with very useful properties.

I want to focus on simply getting the core working first, without ACID guarantees.
Exactly. Having more resources and more experience doesn't mean that the company can't use Lean methodologies. It actually should to avoid waste and false/overrated convictions about self. And especially in case of very fresh products like these Glasses.
As a counter point, a lot of stories on HN seem to be about people just creating a sign up form for a newsletter as the first step, to gauge interest for their product idea.
No, see, the question is precisely "why the hell is an emulated programmable 16bit CPU newsworthy?"

Hey, I know an MMO with an emulated programmable 32bit CPU; it's called Browser Quest, and was recently released by Mozilla; you can access its console by pressing Shift-Ctrl-J; it even comes with a high-level scripting language. With the JS implementation of Notch's 16-bit CPU you can even quickly paste Notch's CPU into BrowserQuest, so that you can write with his opcodes!

To the extent that it's not a feature but a game mechanic I would say it's interesting enough for one HN post in the top 10. That's what it was recently, and all was good. Today implementations of the opcodes take up four of these posts, for apparently no other reason than "Notch is a pretty cool guy with the ability to make this happen."

And that's my point. It's the ability to make it happen, not the thing in itself, which makes it newsworthy.

A big question is how soon these can function as a standalone device, or whether they would be tethered to a phone in your pocket first.

Otherwise, are they much more than a head mount display accessory for Android?

Just one thing I wanted to add. The "old" Google was all about solving problems. Searching on the net was difficult. They made it easy and relatively accurate. Creating documents online was a pain, they made Google Docs. Email clients were troublesome and did not have advanced features. They made Gmail. It was not easy to link addresses to real-life locations. They made Google Maps. Google Code made it easy to find out code extracts. Arguably, not all of their products solved problems, but many did.

Google Plus - does not solve any problem I had with their services. Actually made things worse as I do not want to share data among all those services, I like to keep apples and bananas in separate places.

Google Chrome - it's always good to have competition, but honestly, it does not bring much more than Firefox. It's not solving much of an issue here. What's with all the TV ads for a mere browser?

Google Play - I don't know what they are trying to solve here. Again, nothing wrong with adding more competitors on that field, but that's not really new-to-the-world problem solving solution. It's just more of the same stuff. It's plain boring.

This being said, the Google Cars project is very much true to the original spirit of the company. So, it's not all bad. But overall, there's a lot more crap being produced.

What kind of productive discussion can be made about it?

The existence of something exciting, like 0x10c, generates discussion about possibilities. The existence of something infuriating, like the Path scandal, generates discussion towards solutions.

This site is bad but mundanely bad. It is apparent from comment thread that the only comment people can muster up is "oh look, I can't believe NBC would suck this much". This is largely of interest to no one.
I always wonder if it's possible to replace all computer monitors - could you plug your glasses into your work pc and see the display as virtual monitors floating in front of you? Or is there a resolution/eye focusing at wrong distance/strain issue?

Also I think (have opined this before) could be huge for local social network - suppose you walk into a tech conference and you can see what everyone is currently interested in talking about floating in bubbles over their head. Or flirting using only show indicator if both parties show they're interested. Or a waiter can see who's ready to order/pay etc..

> "But it works"

No it does not. It fails on the following points:

1. Readability: Both headings and excertp text have the same colour. This creates uncertainty about what is what. Same applies to the various other page elements like the tag cloud.

2. Readability: Contrast ratios. This is for many a subjective matter, but displays are very capable of displaying black text on a white background. If you want to decrease glare, you should make the text lighter (#333 is popular) but not the background darker. Tis decreases readability on many devices, especially with LCD displays.

3. Readability: White space and liune height. On the left, there's a overly generous amount of white space. This is not bad, but it fails horribly when in the right column the white space is not considered at all. This gives the page a messy, chaotic look.

4. Readbility: CAPITALS. This has already been discussed above, but I'd like to recap. Captials are considered shouting in online written text. Capitals decrease readability by making all characters similar in size, therefor creating less visual anchors for the reader to attach to. This leads to losing the thread of the sentence. This, by the way, is also why there are special titling and/or all-capital fonts included in typefaces.

5. Readability: Dots in titles. That's not how you write 'READ. POSTS'.

6. Visual consistency: Page elements seem to have no, or very little relationship to each other. Normally this is conveyed through colour, contrast, size and shape. Many parts of this page fail in at least 3 of these, severly degrading the usability of the site as an interactive application.

7. Usability: There is almost no visual feedback for the interactivity besides the hand-cursor. This is bad for usability.

8. Usability: Aggresive social media sahring pop-up. The very sensitive pop-up menu makes using the other links hard.

My conclusion must be that this page was designed by either a programmer or a print designer. I lean towards programmer because of the colour scheme.

So, no, it does not 'work'. It's quite possibly the worst newslisting I've seen, and I thought Reddit was bad.
Not sure if I'd paint it so black and white, I think in general I have been in many of these things as well.

On both ends – I guess more on the 'I'm getting a drink' one because I agree that after a while there is no reason to stay sober anymore, because everyone else is on their way already. It's either that or go home, which I do frequently as well. But it very much depends on the kind of people I am with – in many cases it's not just colleagues or people I find interesting in terms of technological background: they are my actual friends (not Facebook-friends).

And despite getting smashed I've still had a lot of interesting conversations and discussions with people in the same setting. I don't want to call anyone out which is why I won't name names, but I think all (three) conferences I attended last year had an "open bar" at some point and it was still worth while.

One was an amazing weekend of great talks, conversations, food and drinks.

And I don't regret going to any of these either. For starters, I can stop whenever I want and go back to my hotel or go home. I can still stay around and not drink anything and chat with others all night if I want to. Or do the opposite and have a drink with them.

I personally caught myself pondering about how you keep a level of professionalism – e.g. when you see your work mates (and/or superiors) drunk all the time, how do you keep the respect around?

We hired a lot of people in the last two years and while it's good to be friends with everyone you work with, I think there is a gray area of how far you want to go. There is work and after-work and in the end, some people manage it and others do not. For myself, I just decided to not shift into last gear when I go out with them and that means I can still have a good time and even have a drink if I want to. Got that much self-control (or maybe just fear of the next day).

I'm not sure I agree on a ban for alcohol from conferences. I can see where you're coming from and I'd like to think people should consume within reason, but I'm sure that doesn't really work out at all. At least for the majority. In the end it's always freedom of choice.

I give you that though: Maybe drinks should not be free so people don't get wasted right on. Whoever sponsors them could also sponsor something else, or something more worth while.
Except they do have the product in their hands right now. They are testing it.
If most trojans and viruses are still made for Windows, how can this statement not be true? If you took a random sampling of infected websites or virus emails, the large majority would probably be targeted at Windows.

Actual risk of a _targeted_ attack is a different matter.
I guess that's fair enough. I'm mostly here to see interesting discussions in the comment threads and you're right, we can't have much of an interesting discussion on this one.

I was surprised to see "Go fuck yourself" on the video (0:39). Was that a mistake or a conscious decision? Otherwise, it's a very slick professional video.
Should i tell you how these videos get made at Microsoft? The MS Office division has a million left in his marketing budget "Why not make a cool futuristic video?" When they are hyper futuristic they are just Marketing. Look at us we are visionary and innovative.

Google has a prototype for a concrete product and tries to show us what the idea behind this is. Like Microsoft they also have the money for an expensive video.

Look at the difference between Google Cars, with a prototype and a clear value proposition and this Toyota video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4k0i0c2LWw where nothing makes sense at all.

The question will depend on the project development phase you are currently in. I assume that you're on the real beginning - verifying the assumptions about the customer's problem, right? So, you need to identify the actual target group, provide them some more information about the problem you're aiming to solve and ask about details of the problem - not the solution (as some of the questions in you survey are). So, people who have this problem will provide you with info without any inncentives. Those who don't feel any problem - will quit but that's ok coz they're not your target group. So the challenge is not to get lots of data, but data from small, but accurate sample. You can check how we used this approach on http://www.nanokoan.com If you're the leader of the project don't hesitate to fill the survey - you're our target group :)
This is kinda difficult - even if you manage to infect (via some kind of program trade, possibly), you probably won't have a way of directly interacting with the infected computer, so you would have to send instructions using the infected ships sensors... By moving your ship in his vision range for example, and decoding the movement with the virus for the instructions. That could take forever for any kind of direct control.

On the other hand, exactly getting surprised by people is one of the charming characteristics of meeting new people. The future you're envisioning scares me: we will move around in our own safe social cocoons without any need to interact with the Other. I fear that segregation will become an intrinsic part of life, being guided through society with clear guidelines on who to interact with and who not.
