And where are they supposed to get all the towers? That's a multi-year construction project and, if they try it, they'll alienate their existing carrier partners.

Now maybe Apple thinks they can afford to do that, but it seems risky.

One additional note:

Automate wherever possible. Especially if you're a developer there are no excuses. Automatically log your time using something like Time Sink ( http://manytricks.com/timesink/ ). Adopt a convention for your git commits so that you can use some of your git messages as line items for your invoice (e.g. anything with "Feature: " in the front)

I wrote a gem called "Big Bucks No Whammies" ( https://github.com/aantix/big_bucks_no_whammies ) specifically for my billing purposes.
You could narrow down the possible matches to just a handful by comparing movie lengths – say, within 10 seconds of the same length is a possible match. Maybe throw in some basic title comparison to narrow the search further, and then do a simple check to see if the audio tracks seem to line up (an exhaustive comparison isn't necessary) to rapidly detect and exclude duplicates with a more than adequate accuracy rate. It would require a bit more complexity in the Kopime device, but not so much as to make it impractical.

The background is that having replicated the design for the prime factorization sweater in Processing (http://blog.jgc.org/2012/04/make-your-own-prime-factorizatio...)

I tried Tim Ferris' "media fast" idea recently, though I only lasted 2 days (he recommends a week). No surfing, magazines, books, newspaper, TV...

I noticed I was bored, but I also felt that maybe it was good to be bored, at least once in a while. Having your desire for entertainment/attention constantly satisfied is just as unnatural as having your desire for sugar/fat/carbs constantly satisfied. Practicing meditation maybe helped me see that boredom can be beneficial.

Two other things I noticed: I suddenly had masses of free time. Previously, spare time was mopped up by surfing or reading books on my iPad. And while at the station I got the urge to look up something on my smartphone, remembered I wasn't allowed to, and rediscovered the forgotten experience musing about a question I had no way of finding the answer to.
I kind of agree. There's a bit of specialization worth noting. For example, Tor will likely be used to find and download the newest and latest works of art. But if you want an archive of "art throughout history" it would make sense to just go sync with your local archivist.
They are convinced of the value and therefore less likely to abandon the product because of one negative. Whereas if you aren't sure the app is really doing something for you (making/saving you money), you're more likely to bail and just get your money back the moment it goes

#5 isn't so much a sign as it is common sense, I think.
Very close together is a feature here, not a bug.
Seriously. I don't have a single music or video on any media in my home. I stream music to my Sonos and listen to a more awesome range of incredible music than ever before (thanks Pandora and Rdio). This morning it was ethiopian jazz, romantic era piano, ska and early reggae.

True that streaming movies are a weak selection today. But dealing with media is such an annoyance, I'd rather just wait till the selection gets better than deal with all the file formats and wasted time copying files around. I have a more interesting life to lead than that.

You're right, I probably phrased that wrong. It's apparent you are aware of there being multiple sugars. What I should say is that you're not giving him enough credit by assuming that he's somehow unaware that glucose is not rare. I attempted to show you that he is referring to fructose, not glucose.

I should have realized you are not at all familiar with his actual research and what he is saying.

A quick and simple overview is that fiber is critically important here and was not given proper emphasis in the posted video compared to his previous videos. It is not just "fructose is bad, the end", it is the combination of the lack of fiber and excessive amounts of fructose that leads to a situation not found abundantly in nature.

Go eat an orange, an apple, some grapes, etc. These are all pretty much fine and yet have fructose in them. So why shouldn't an equal amount of fructose in canned soda not be the same? The complete absence of fiber. This carries on even outside of the liquid/direct forms, in fast food or other processed foods.

Yes, this does mean if you drink nice wholesome orange juice or apple juice without eating the actual fruit, you could potentially be doing more harm than good depending on the rest of your diet.

Why is fiber almost entirely removed from so much food you'll buy at the grocery store or in drive-thrus? High fiber stuff doesn't preserve/freeze well in many situations for distribution and long term storage. Why is so much extra fructose added to these foods? The things they do to increase the shelf life on some types of food can result in some bitterness, which they compensate for with things like fructose.

If fructose is indeed a problem in this scenario and fiber cannot be reasonably added to the products, you get people saying the fructose should be removed, replaced or severely limited. Even if fiber did make it back as a larger part of the diet, fructose would probably still need to be toned down a bit considering how widespread it has become.

Does that make more sense? If you need more information and actually have a legitimate interest in this topic outside of the entertainment value of criticism, look up some of his other videos that go much more in depth. He goes into how he got into this, how it actually works, what studies he has run and what the results were that lead him to this conclusion. Then for future conversations you can have more well-formed thoughts on the topic.

Donald Trump, Jr. on patent trolls and innovation
He's really just addressing the elephant in the room by saying that as of yet the whole open source desktop mess has failed to produce anything that looks like a compelling , easy to use desktop.

If Google can produce a Linux based operating system that addresses the needs of casual users... [they can] simply eat everyone elses lunch.

He also addresses the elephant in the room that the major Linux UI pushes that consciously and grandly targeted those goals were grand steps backwards. That the things the UI prognosticators think users want, like abstraction and simplification, alienated real Linux users like Linus. That normal users missed features the UI cognoscenti banished as "too confusing," such as "easy mouse configurability for things like how to launch applications."

When you talk about abstraction, metaphors, making the filesystem invisible to users, and (most telling of all) appealing to "casual users" it sounds like more of the same talk that we've had for many years now. The more grand and self-conscious the community gets about user interfaces, and the more they target non-techie users, the less useful the desktop environments become for their actual users. That missing configurability that Linus laments, which was sacrificed for the sake of "casual" users -- did we really attract a bunch of casual users? Did we eat anyone's lunch, take market share from OSX or Windows? Or did we just make our desktop environments less usable for the people who actually use them?

Linus says GNOME was "useless" without that configurability, and that this new device might be usable as a laptop if it had a terminal and a development environment. That doesn't sound like a call for Linux environments to appeal to "casual" users. I don't think Linus is asking for even more simplifications to get in the way of his usage, like abstracting away the filesystem.

The elephant in the room is that Linux desktop environments did a better job of giving Linux users what they wanted when that's all they tried to do. Trying to give us what we didn't know we wanted has been a failure. Targeting non-techie users has gained us nothing that we didn't already want for ourselves. It's time for the community to get off its high horse about UIs and go back to what it's good at, which is humbly (and very successfully) catering to its own needs. And nobody should feel ashamed of creating or using an operating system that never eats Apple's or Microsoft's lunch (isn't that such a ten years ago obsession?)

(P.S. You know what's good at abstracting away the filesystem when and how it's appropriate? Applications.)
As someone who runs a type A business, gives C+ customer service, and has a significant amount of unplanned downtime (ie. "oh shit, the server is down"), I can back this up 100%. We lose some customers due to my bungling, but it's never enough to shake the foundations of the business.

This is a very skewed test I think. While your result and intuition are likely to be true, the test does not prove it. The streetlights test measures the response to a sudden change with no previous indication. While playing an FPS, you get multiple sources of information which converge before a specific event.

To be more precise, you know what to expect and when - even without counting exact seconds, if you see someone running, then disappear behind something - you know when to expect him to enter your view again. Then you've got sound which additionally helps you in orientation. Then you've got the time it takes between you spotting something and getting the correct aim, while you see the target moving - you're aligning your aim with the moving object and deciding when they meet, rather than just measuring a response to an impulse.

Why would you even look at require.js if you don't have modular code/code of your own spread over a couple of files? This is for me the one single reason to look into it in the first place. To organize my own code better.

By now it's clear to me that your argument has reduced to "I personally don't like Haskell's syntax, therefore Haskell cannot generally be a good language."

If you don't want to use Haskell, that's fine. Don't use it. If you have legitimate criticism, I'd like to hear it.
I have written (edit: arguably terrible) poetry that people really enjoyed. But, I never thought of it as anything other than a word game. When someone called it deep there was a part of me that wanted to call BS and say it's attacking the part of your mind that seeks meaning in everything.

Just Die *What someone says*
End the Endless Breath with Death *What an author says*

How would this crush the carriers when, as an MVNO, Apple would be writing the carriers a giant check every month to use their towers?

The CLEC wars proved that you can't use a network owner's wires to compete against them.
> RE: License sticker, it can't be overridden by family in a first-person consent state; it's the driver's decision to be a donor, and her wishes can't be overruled.

Even if this is technically true, I'm not sure it's practically always the case. Again, my info is anecdotal and a decade old but I was given the impression that the family is still a part of the conversation, and if they protest the fear of litigation can cause the donation to be avoided. Presumably the hospital and clinical folks involved have a number of decision points for whether or not harvesting will be followed through on. Your family is capable of suing, but you no longer are.

> Congrats on the donation. I'm working through the evaluation process myself. Do you have any advice to share?

Thanks! Congratulations on considering becoming a donor! As for advice.. that's a pretty broad question. It's a pretty long, scary, emotionally draining, and incredibly rewarding process. One of the things that I didn't really understand going in was that it's not a decision you really have to make before you get started (and even if you think you've made a decision, you'll likely find yourself re-making it many more times over)... For me the donor team was amazing at educating and preparing me to make a decision at the end of a lengthy evaluation process rather than the beginning. They do a really great job vetting you physically and emotionally for the process.

If you (or anyone else) has any other questions, definitely feel free to drop me a line. Contact info's in my profile, and I'm happy to answer anything.
San Francisco, CA - Scribd - Looking for creative engineers with various backgrounds

Scribd is one of the early YCombinator companies, and we've been growing steadily. We're now a top 100 site and one of the top 3 rails sites on the web by traffic. But we still have a very small, tight-knit team where each person plays a critical role.

Scribd alumni have gone on to found four other YCombinator companies, more than from any other startup. We think this says something about the kind of people that we like to hire.

Technology-wise, we mostly work with Rails, Javascript, and iOS. We also have a lot of challenges related to machine learning, text mining, and scaling large web infrastructure. We're looking for generalists with an interest in one or more of those areas. See http://www.scribd.com/jobs for lots more detail on the stuff we've built, a lot of which we've open sourced.

We're in downtown SF but we've hired a team of the best people we could find from around the world. Relocation and H1B / J1 visas are no problem.

We've gotten some tremendously talented people from these "Who's hiring posts" before. If you're interested, please get in touch with me directly - jared at scribd.com.

It's very hard to imagine Apple as a traditional MVNO where their brand would take all the hits for network quality and yet have little to no ability to impact things on the engineering side. There is a reason that there aren't premium MVNO's.
