The fact that people are making videos about the Google glasses mere hours and days after the unveiling video, whether negative or positive, is a very good sign for the project. It shows people are very interested in it one way or the other (remember all the "big iPod" and MaxiPad jokes about the iPad before its launch?)

In regards to advertising, it's very unlikely Google would make the ads like that, and they might not even make special ads for the glasses at all, other than the ads you'll see in people's content (like on a webpage, app, etc), which is inevitable unless they straight out ban it, but it doesn't make any sense to do that.

People thought Google's mobile OS would be littered with OS-level ads as well, and that never happened. It's even less likely it will happen for the Google glasses, because if they sell the product themselves, they stand to make a lot more money in profit from the hardware (going by how exciting and innovative it is) than a few bucks per year they would get from ads (like they get now from each Android device).

Building Your Vision: What to Consider Before Hiring a Dev Shop
I was part of a startup 5 years ago that built something identical to this for hotels. We used privoxy and a regex of doom targeting the <title> tag to inject javascript that would add flash toolbar on the bottom of the page you were viewing. It would show local ads and allow access to some hotel services.

Worked surprisingly well but I'm glad it never took off. I don't think I could have forgiven myself for being responsible for what would come of that.
I agree with your take on industry's disdain and ignorance for academic research -- those are some of the most painful, agonizing conversations to endure in a professional context.

They hold this opinion out of fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of what they do not understand. Fear that a new research paper could make their jobs obsolete. But most of all, their fear that because they do not understand academic research, they are less intelligent and less capable.

So just think about it from their point of view. They are defending their own jobs and decisions in life, albeit subconsciously.

This is what I thought. Go is primarily targeted at server-side applications, which are almost exclusively running on 64bit hardware/OS. Memory is so cheap now that it's silly not to have more than 16GB plugged in the chasis.

Then I realized there are many small VPS/EC2 instances with <1GB memory (I have two right now running on 64bit) and there are people who try to squeeze every last bit out of them by going 32bit...
Answers to a range of comments on my post:

Price: Once you start manufacturing products by the hundreds of thousands, costs go down very quickly. Any of of these large companies can easily commit to making a million of just about anything. If the BOM cost is in the order of $100 to $200 that means only $200 million to make a million units. This is chump change for both Google and Microsoft. I don't think that Apple would a significant cost advantage if competitors play at the right level. Cost is asymptotic.

Buy a Samsung <model number> and don't activate: Consumers don't operate that way. They need to be marketed a solution and they need to go to Walmart or Amazon and buy that solution.

Ecosystem: Valid points.

Content partnerships: If you build it, they will come. Content providers want more ways to monetize their content.

MS/Google designs that differ: Yes! Huge problem. Apple got it right. They design and build. Period. The Android landscape is horrific. I have zero interest in developing for Android. Fifty different devices running half a dozen (or whatever) versions of the OS? Nah, life is too short. If MS is smart they will control this very tightly and provide uniformity and consistency.

Zune: Crap. Not the same concept. What I am talking about is Phone/Pod/Pad/Tablet/Desktop sharing UI elements and apps.
I feel that windows phone is more realistic in its assumptions of how tiny and dense content can be and remain usable, but that's probably because i don't have perfect vision. I also think the chromeless look is more future-oriented, because it won't look dated as quickly. The iOS look already seems dated to me (perhaps because i used a mac for years before i saw iOS).

Oh, and the app-centric model of iOS and Android is in my opinion a design flaw. A humane design shouldn't organize based on apps but based on tasks, and those tasks shouldn't get equal visibility an an icon grid.
Do you need to draw attention to your lack of a specific swear by creating a visually-distinct meta-swear?
Perhaps Microsoft should copy Apple here as well. Apple and Kleiner-Perkins created iFund in 08 [1] to fund mobile app development.

Yes; as a female programmer I find both of these kinds of things offputting, not encouraging.

Of course, if I were a female programmer who needed $5k and a kick in the pants to level up (e.g. if this had been around 2 years ago) I would probably jump at the chance, it's all a matter of perspective.

One of the issues is simply lack of good alternatives. How else would we encourage other female programmers to come out of the woodwork? Strong female leadership of the program would be a great start in my opinion. Women Who Code in San Francisco has a great, active, healthy Ruby study group going on which is arguably a mini-Hacker School. It's run by and for women, and there's been (as far as I know) zero issues getting enough people together for lively discussion. Plus, some of the newbies have explicitly said they preferred this all-women environment as they could ask the sort of questions they may self-censor elsewhere. Although that's hardly realistic of the real software engineering world - any full-time programmer has probably got to get used to working with men as well as women. :)

Yes, I realize (after a little research) that the show is called "Silicon Valley" and that the phrase "Silicon Valley" does occur several times in the article, but unless I missed one, those are all references to the actual Valley, not to the name of the show.

A long time ago I had the opportunity to work with the late Frank Zappa for a few months. I also had the opportunity to have long chats with him over dinner. Very interesting fellow.

One night the topic of religion came up. He suggested that there was a market for starting a religion that enabled everything that all other religions said was not permitted. Funny, but probably true at some level.

Take a look at everything Apple black-boxes and make it open while keeping enough controls to keep the platform consistent and uniform across devices. This could be huge.

And please, give me the ability to talk to a serial port (or USB or I2C or SPI) without restrictions so I can put the devices to use in a lot of very interesting areas that are just about impossible to approach with Apple's offerings.
"Beds are considered a cost center but are tolerated because they are the number one amenity requested by guests."

WiFi is just as much part of the service a modern hotel provides as a clean bed, nice breakfast and whatever else they might advertise. Why isn't it treated like that? Why aren't they putting ads on my pillow?
This sounds like precisely the use-case for x32: Running userland programs that only use 32-bit pointers on x86-64 bit hardware in 64-bit mode; you only get to address 4GB of RAM, but your pointers fit two to a register and you have all the x86-64 registers, opcodes, and special hardware.

Sadly, it isn't here yet.

> It's more likely (of course not 100%) they have more data and experience than you and me.

Having data does not imply usefully analyzing it, and "experience" is nothing more than a plurality of anecdote. Without actually seeing the data, I think your best guess here should be 50/50, rather than the very biased-toward-the-high-end "more likely (of course not 100%)" that you have. Appeal to authority is especially dangerous when you are making decisions that affect your company's bottom line based on peoples' ability to format text.

The author sees his time better spent addressing each comment rather than just do something simple like using the Posterous tagging feature. A 'fiction' tag would be sufficient and no one would be confused. I doubt the author would tolerate end-user confusion in his software, why defend it in this case? His blog is full of non-fictional, fictional, opinion, etc. There is no obvious delineation for those who don't read his material and the fix is easy.

> Well I should have learned long back to not argue with impolite people.

Sheesh. In this thread, there is nothing but platitude in your posts, and you are constantly trying to put down people(everyone else who doesn't agree with you about perl is a troll, saying that what you know about python is not correct is me defending my religion etc etc), and then you whine about people being impolite. Pot, meet kettle.

> This is one lesson I'm not going to forget.

Another lesson would be to actually learn and use Lisp before claiming exponential gains.

It's not impolite to say you are regurgitating blogosphere bullshit when you claim with utmost confidence "I am sorry to ruin your party but there are languages like lisp and haskell which results in exponential gains" when actually you haven't used either one of them.
That's cool; I think another way of doing it is to allow programs to request a sandbox where the GC doesn't go so they can do all of the pointer-arithmeticking they want as long as all their pointers fall within the sandbox by the time they're written through or dereferenced.

It seems that overall, "race balance" is harder to define than "gender balance" because the gender balance is about 50% in every country, whereas the race balance can vary wildly.

That doesn't make it less important or valid of course. Race discrimination is a serious issue in many countries.
Agreed, the biggest issue highlighted in the new Lumia 900 views (which most are calling a fantastic phone) is missing some of the key apps in the ecosystem.

I don't think the size of the marketplace is the problem, every user has about ten key apps they need on their phone (the trouble being it's a different ten for everyone), but every most of the cases covered will help them a lot.

I expect them to do the same thing with Windows 8 and the store.

Is the phrase "Computing Science" only in use outside of the US, then?

It seems to be in common usage in Canada (it's what my alma mater called the department) and seemingly at least parts of the UK (as at the University of Glasgow), and is definitely used to mean what is meant by Computer Science in the US, as distinct from Computational Science.
Actually it hasn't changed that much. My cousins and other kids I know (age group 12-20) still like the newer Corvette's and 911's. Whenever they're putting up a supercar poster, its almost always a Lamborghini, one model or another going back right upto the Countach. Something about their design still holds the car-of-the-future attention in kids, even in 2012.

Having someone to hear your claims is a very big difference I think.

You're not alone in the desert taking to a wall.

Ask HN: What hosting do you use?
I've had experiences with the following hosting providers:

000webhost: Great free host for simple php applications. However, they don't give you SSH access and their servers do not handle spikes in web traffic very well.

Amazon EWS: Free tier for a year is nice, however you still have to pay 10 dollars a month if you want an elastic IP. Relatively expensive compared to other cloud hosting providers for small scale projects. Terrible customer support and convoluted usage reports.

Recently I've been thinking about buying a remote dedicated server or using rackspace cloud hosting.

What hosting do you use?
Apple is in the startup world. How different would the startup economy be without Apple's platforms to develop, deploy, and discover on?
But Ruby is more or less a "rapid development" environment.

You pay for quick development turn-around with machines.

Go is not in that kind of space as far as I know since, as I understand it, Go is sold as low-ish level language competing with C++ and C for system development. For something that would replace those languages, unexplained, systematic leaks would be bad (I mean, my C++ programs might leak but it's reasonably easy to discover why. That matters).
Within the JVM, object references are strictly separate from integers. Object references are stored within a structure they call an OOP, short for "ordinary object pointers", and the gc works by inspecting the contents of oops and potentially changing them if objects are moved around in memory (as happens if the gc is moving things between generations, or doing heap compaction). If you're curious about it, you can get some information about OOPs on the page discussing the CompressedOops flag implementation: https://wikis.oracle.com/display/HotSpotInternals/Compressed...

Clearly, there was a need for "Hey, things won't change as much from now on". Now, I'm still afraid little work will appear on the GC, which is IMO Go's biggest weakness to date.
If Ceylon/Rust are not ready today it means they will be immature for at least 2 years from their release date. Without a large community behind them, they will slowly fade away like D did.In order to get community, they have to have a good/clean/pragmatic design and a library as comprehensive as possible. If they don't have a good library they better have excellent interop with other platforms or they will be doomed. IMO Go is a solid step in the right direction and if the authors will resist the temptation to complicate it with (too many) new features&paradigms I think it will fare well.

But most businesses don't want SOPA. It's one tiny minority of businesses that control most of the media that wanted SOPA. So while it may sound like business and government want SOPA, it's simply not true; the media companies are merely telling everyone it's true.

(That's why they got so mad when the Internet companies, which have a lot of reach, fought SOPA. It resulted in an epic loss for them. And it will continue to do so, because the government isn't in the business of protecting tiny industries at the expense of much bigger ones.)

I always shake my head a bit when I see people mention Zune like this. The hardware (and software on device) was fantastic. Much better than the iPods at the time imho. Look at the reviews on Amazon sometime. http://www.amazon.com/Zune-Video-MP3-Player-Platinum/dp/B002...

The Zune software is beautiful. It's a little heavy on occasion but much better than iTunes (again heavy imho). Zune pass is a great music service as well. It's not as unique as it once was since Spotify and others let you play what you want on demand but it's price similarly and you get to own a few of the songs each month.
