No, hustling can not be taught.

Hustle means many different things. Depends on how you were brought up and reared. Growing up i used to shineshoes and had to fend for my own. So what i deem as huslin', is much different then the hustle that is talked about in regards to sports, of the startup hustle. Hustin' for me, notice "hustin", opposed to hustling, is going to the book store after work shiningshoes each day and learning about the different keywords i picked up while shining the shoes of the guys who were taking shit. I would listen and get the job done all while getting a education.

My desire was to learn what was being discussed. In this case, the hustle i developed is not a hustle that can not be taught. Many people are lazy because they have had certain kinds of resources provided to them. When a person doesn't have resources they have to make do and develop without the resources.

Hustle can not be taught, nor can it be purchased. It's a natural gift that is born out of passion, desire, and inspiration from a specific set of circumstances. When these circumstances are aligned then the ingredients are perfect and a person can have hustle. Just because one person can out talk another doesn't mean they have hustle. It just means they have a much broader vocabulary and a set of different experiences to pull from.

I have had many experiences dealing with people who have judged me to varying degrees because of have and use language in a very interesting way. What they have failed to realize is that anything that i bring to the table is an assert. Most have preconceived notions about certain people which are detrimental to many different processes. If they would simply set their shit to the side and see that some of the people who have some of the most brilliant ideas come from a set circumstance far beyond their own life experience. Once they can do this the possibilities can grow like ivy.

Some of the best conversations i have had with people have been when i was hustlin'. Not because i was on a quest to get money. It's because i set my own judgements and prejudices aside and appreciated the moment. Simply, because it was a way to get out what was in side that was stored up and build up as energy.

I say all this to say that [hustling]/hustlin' = passion
if a person doesn't have passion, they will never be hustlers.

Your two complaints are that 1) your phone is slow and old, and 2) a specific app is poorly put together. Somehow, from this, your conclusion is that the entire Android ecosystem is broken/worthless/something.

That's ridiculous, to put it mildly.
The problem may have a simple answer, but 0.5 is not it, because the answer will be a function of n, the starting position. If n is near 0, the chance you hit zero before 1000 steps is larger.

The Nexus One was released January 2010. You might be thinking of the Nexus S that was released last year.
i agree, the offers app is useless.

why does offers need to be an app? it would work perfectly well in-browser. it's not android that's pointless, it's the tendency of users to expect an app for every little tiny feature that belongs on a website. and it's only worse on iOS.

Of course they don't. Unfortunately people who bought it last decade do.
Perhaps it is meant in the sense that, in a capitalist society, if 10 new restaurants open up on your main/high street to serve a "need", let's say steaks, then price for raw beef will go up since all these restaurants have to buy supply before any steaks are sold/eaten.
Except that case was appealed by Google, and the judgment was cancelled.
What about pollution? In a way I feel very pessimistic, because I can't find a reason why humans wouldn't exploit every resource to the maximum. For example fish in the sea, wood in the rainforest (or just surface below the rainforest), air, oil...

I think humans will survive, but how much will we destroy before reaching equilibrium?

What's the point of Android? Golly gee, how about we just have no competition in smart phones, and Apple can own everything. Everybody else should give up so we can have a smart phone monopoly. That way Apple can make $100 billion a year in profit by owning the entire market! Their stock would go to $1,700!

The point of Android is competition. Competition is good. It's that simple.
The phone is not slow and old, the OS is a resource hog. Compare the specs to a Windows phone and see how smoothly it runs with similar hardware.
On my opinion, this is why Google Payments never took off: they used the same smart-ass approach to shut down merchant accounts, knowing when a merchant was about to commit payment fraud before it was actually committed. In the case of sale of physical goods, an account termination could be much more harmful, so people stuck with PayPal, no matter how imperfect it was.

WebGL around the net, 5 April 2012
Rich Hickey is borderline genius in my book, and I really enjoy his philosophical approach to CS. Clojure is a fine language, but I frankly never bought the "concurrency issues" as a reasonable motivation for Clojure (over Java).

Fact remains that STMs (as originally developed by the Scala team in (yes) Java), "outstanding" [OP] concurrency, and idempotent/functional programming remains /well within reach/ of the seasoned developer in Java.

Also, unless I misunderstand their architecture (and it is single node ..), then the fact remains that in a distributed system, the "semantics" of interaction are not bound by the programming language behind box x, and are entirely a matter of the (remote) API you expose. STMs are a concern of a shared memory space -- once you go distributed, it is really borderline snakeoil to talk about the benefits of "functional" languages in creating remote functions.
You'd think so, but then every other calculation in that paragraph is based on bytes:

1MB for 8192 identifiers (as opposed to 128K as strings, or 64K as ints)
384GB for 3 billion identifiers (rather than 38GB strings, or 19GB ints)
119GiB if 1 in 3 is unique (rather than 12GiB strings, or 6GiB ints)

6GiB is not a lot of RAM anymore.

A point I called out. What I was trying to do was make an argument that we may have begun our journey to "if you don't have a cell phone, you're suspicious". How long until someone could use their GPS tracking data and witnesses on the other end of the phone as an alibi to prove their innocence when the prosecution has a case that says otherwise, except they don't have a mobile phone?

Slipper slopes aren't always that slippery, but sometimes they are. It's just a possibility, and possibilities are fun to think about.

I'm sorry but Apple does not care about the 3gs either. Use it and it is slow and miserable. And come summer, you'll have the same experience with the 4s.

this is an excellent question. i personally know two clojure teams, both use rails for their front-facing website - i believe they feel clojure's offerings aren't mature enough yet. sorry, i can't elaborate because I don't have any personal experience.
Well I bought my phone last year and there is already dwindling support for it (no OS updates, just extra HTC crap), not to mention that the same model is still on sale as new now.

Many people buy smartphones on a 18 month - 2 year contract and often will wait until the price has dropped a bit to buy it. So I think 3-4 year old phones should still be well supported if they want to gain people's trust.

I own a company that does quite a bit of welding, both manually and with a robot. Your comment "since low-end welds can be done by machines nowadays, there's much less demand for a welder with <10 yrs experience than there used to be" is slightly off the mark, but not far.

Our robot needs the skills of an experienced welder in order to set it up. It is extremely difficult to get it set up correctly if you don't know how to weld, set the wire feed, set the amperage, etc. Personally, I can't weld very well, nor am I good at setting up the robot. I rely heavily on my lead welder to get the settings right for the robot, and once it is setup properly (which can be a few hours or a few days, depending on complexity) only then can a less experienced non-welder type worker run the machine. SO my lead welder does the jig design, figures out torch angles and then an outside contractor comes in and does the programming (Windows CE, on a Panasonic arm). Since we manufacture many of the same parts day to day, we only need the contractor once a month or so. Jigs are designed for quick change, with pins to set them exactly in place.

The robot is excellent at complex work, as well as "low end welds". Without a skilled and experienced welder for the setups, it is just a useless hunk of metal. You are correct if you think that a lower skilled worker can operate it on a daily basis however. The operator does not have to know how to weld at all (just how to push the emergency stop button and yell for help). The NY Times article is speaking about welders that doing some of the most difficult welds of all, and finding a person with those skills is about as rare as finding a really awesome iOS developer who is out of work. The people who can do that sort of welding are few and far between, since it has to be flawless.
Thanks. I've seen it before but will give a re-read.

1) his blog content isn't software
2) the general issue with GPL isn't copyleft; it's the patent clauses (in GPLv3), and all of the various distribution requirements, plus the essential forbiddance of DRM (in GPLv3)

It may even be generous to Android to consider his phone's performance average, considering many android devices are free, very cheap, and/or sold in 3rd world countries, the average android phone may in fact be worse.

Regardless, the fact that he cannot download a Google Deals coupon on a "Pure Google" Android device is pathetic, to put it mildly.
I understand his position completely and I can get behind his message - tone down the alco-centric messaging. That could have been a single tweet and not this long diatribe.

What I don't understand is the patronizing hyperbole.

The bit that irks me the most is the insinuation that this is an incubator for "brogrammers" and that because people like to go out for a drink with people they see maybe once a year they're "douchey" and like "wall street bankers"? Dude. Way off base, condescending, and border-line offensive.

Who knows how much overlap exists between these two groups but I'd like to point out that it was programmers who were sending Steve Klabnik's poor ailing father birthday cards. I'd probably guess that a few of those people are going out for a beer (or two, or 5) after the next ruby-related conference AND they're not "douchey".

He is complaining that the best feature one should expect from an Android phone would be the seamless integration with Google's services. If even at that it fails to deliver a good experience, what's the point then.

And whoever complained he's using an old phone... I'm still using an iPhone 3GS (released 2009) with latest iOS. Why can't he complain about a phone that is almost a year newer?

Yikes, my bad. Friend forwarded havent seen it before and it popped up on G+ today, my fault.
So I totally resonate with this, but I ask this question:

"What would it take to create a factory that could make an arbitrary fastener in 3 hours?"

There are things like having material stock, stamps, etc. But if you look at a screw factory one of the things that jumps out at me is that all the machinery is old old old. Which is to say, the typical fastener factory seems to have machines that were originally tooled up to make war material in the 40's and 50's.

Today, I've sintered carbide cutters, lasers, and machine tools that can repeatedly cut to a tenth. So why can't I build a factory which uses programmable tooling (aka 'soft tooling') that can produce thousands of fasteners per minute? The process can be made parallel in a very straight forward way, more production stations.

Not a YC startup, but how do we get investment in this kind of idea? Can we even? I love reading some of Elon's comments about how ossified the space manufacturing industry is, and how they created things in weeks that the 'experts' were saying would take months or even years to make. We've got Jeff Bezos pulling F-5 engines out of the Atlantic, can we get him to fund the most amazing fastening company ever? Such that any fastener in the catalog can be produced in quantities from 1000 to 1,000,000 with a process where manufacturing costs are fixed across the volume window?

If not, why not?

My anectdata refutes you. I have a 3GS that is working just fine with the latest version of iOS. It's obviously not as fast as a 4 or 4s, but "slow and miserable?" Not even.
Looking past his non-sequitur, it does seem like there's a legitimate issue with this app. The Nexus One isn't that bad of a performer (there are much worse Android phones that can still be bought), and the app doesn't seem, on it's face, to require high specs. Especially since it then redirects him to a web page.

I don't see these posts (and there are a few of them, for every phone, every OS, and every carrier) as people wanting to turn others away from the phone, but rather wanting to turn attention to the flaws. Flaws that can then be fixed by the maker of the system. Nothing turns a company's head faster than bad publicity.
That's assuming you bought your phone at launch, people are still buying plenty of phones both android and iOS that are well over a year old and they are still being actively marketed.

To put that in perspective MS still supports a 10 year old OS and the majority of Windows Applications will still work with it.

You would think, but I think they have always felt that a "tough on crime" mentality was necessary to inspire confidence in advertisers. This is a direct result of the imbalance of clout implicit to the long-tail/short-tail dichotomy of AdSense; Google packages a (relative) many dime-a-dozen content creators into a product (commodified ad space) which they sell to a (relative) few customers (advertisers). In addition, they can bet on content creators seeing the risk as low stakes (even though getting banned from a monopolistic ad network is anything but low stakes), while they can bank on advertisers seeing the risk as high stakes (which it is).

A better solution is not to use cost-per-click in the first place, instead relying on metrics that are harder to game, like unique visitors and page views. These are arguably a better reflection of an advertising space's value even without taking click fraud into account. That's what Project Wonderful did, and it has worked out well for some of its users, but its model is also more long-tail/long-tail, which I think hurts its profitability.

You don't understand.

If they ever stop to think about how to play well, they will soon discover they can win by playing worse moves faster.

Just a little basic strategy with the clocks will trump a lot of play skill on the board.

The only way it can stay the way it is now is if they never think about it much. Which is dumb.

Imagine candyland or monopoly was played with clocks and whoever moves faster won. That would be a terrible game for new players. And if they don't understand that the clocks matter, it's in a very precarious position: the moment one of them reads any strategy guide or thinks about it, their game will change itself against their wishes.

They are playing with a ruleset that makes something the most important part of the game, then ignoring it in their actual play. The ruleset doesn't do what they want. It's the wrong ruleset for them.

It's much easier to win on the clocks than learn chess. They are all easily smart enough to do it. It isn't very complicated and doesn't take long to learn.

I don't think if they knew how completely broken there game was they would be advocating it to the internet. The internet has people who know how to play bughouse, the internet will destroy their ignorance which is the only thing keeping their game working.

None of this has anything to do with being super-competitive. It's just the easy, lazy way to win: by focussing more on the part of the game that's easier but also more important.

This problem is fixable. They could set up clocks so if you don't make a move within 30 seconds on a board, you lose. After moving you reset to 30 seconds. With that system they will have some time pressure to keep the game moving, and there also won't be a simple easy strategy that completely dominates them.

You don't have to be super competitive to think about how to win and what is an effective way to play. You just have to be thoughtful. They are clearly thinking about chess strategy (even if they are chess beginners. chess is hard. shrug). I'm just pointing out they could divert a little of that thought to something else, be way more effective, and also dramatically change the style of the game. You don't have to be super competitive to put the thinking-in-service-of-winning which you're doing anyway to a more efficient area.

And if you want a game that you can post on your blog and suggest other people use, it needs to have robust rules!

They are setting up themselves -- and anyone who listens -- for conflict. Some people will play slowly, lose, and be annoyed. Some others will start to play faster and win all the time. One guy will say, "Don't be so competitive", the other will say, "What do you want me to do? I don't spend more time on this than you, I don't practice, I'm still just as bad as you at chess in general. Should I intentionally sandbag and not try to win? That would ruin it for me."

It is time for those affected to unite behind a push to initiate Congressional action against Google (and possibly others) for these practice. They are highly destructive and unfair. These companies ARE huge monopolies. They just can't be allowed to behave this way.

I am the first one to raise my voice against more government incursions into our daily lives. However, there are cases where very few options remain on the table.

Unless Google, eBay, Paypal and others who are committing these kinds of acts on a daily basis change their tune in a hurry I think that a collision with government action is unavoidable.

A united front with government backing is probably the only viable option.
