What's vague about the question? I'm not sure how I can be more specific: have you actually ever worked in a production environment? The point being that the things you sum up sound very much like textbook-knowledge and theory, and nothing like something somebody who has actually, you know, worked with software to get things done (as opposed to just playing around) would say.

I think you're looking at it only from your perspective. If you're making a game for Android and you're using drawing primitives directly and the like I suspect the fragmentation is a non issue.

However, when making simpler applications that lean heavily on the built in widgets writing Android apps is a big PITA in my opinion. I write apps for both Android and iPhone (Because I love money) and it's way way harder to make something look nice on Android than it is on the iPhone.

It's not impossible in Android land. It's just too much work to make it profitable on small utility-ish applications. The ability to do absolute positioning on iOS makes it "easy" to make things look nice. However, in android land when I get custom graphics and designs from my designer it's REALLY a big PITA to make it all look nice and line up.

I personally wish Google had restricted what OEMs could do a bit more.

TECHNICAL CHALLENGE

It's not a shopping cart. We want to build a best-in-class integration of marketing and technology. This is the new golden skill set. You'll master it at Craft Coffee, and engage in very hard problems on the leading edge of online commerce.

See, for example: http://andrewchenblog.com/2012/04/27/how-to-be-a-growth-hack...

We ship coffee to paying customers in 48 states and 9 countries. Our subscribers LOVE us. Coffee is an everyday ritual and we elevate that moment for people.

PEOPLE YOU RESPECT LOVE US
Technologists, entrepreneurs, food writers, chefs, designers, filmakers.

Dave McClure, pirate at 500 Startups: "For all you aspiring lawyer-entrepreneurs out there, I just want you to know that we invest in lawyers only if they know how to code like [Craft Coffee founder] Mike Horn!"

Amanda Hesser, author of The Essential NYTimes Cookbook & founder of Food52: "New weekend ritual -- grinding @craftcoffee beans in manual grinder & making coffee in a French press.""They do an excellent job all around -- interesting sources, thoughtfully assembled -- and I really enjoy the element of surprise every month."

Ondi Timoner, filmmaker (Dig! and We Live in Public), winner of the Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize (twice!): "Thought I'd never tweet about food & drink but this is really a public service announcement - go get @craftcoffee now!"

Zach Klein, co-founder of Vimeo, CEO of DIY: "My favorite of-the-month-club is @craftcoffee -- three packages of coffee beans delivered from different roasters each month."

Retroficiency -- Boston, MA (no REMOTE, H1B for right candidate)

Retroficiency is a venture backed start-up that's developed cloud-based software to change the commercial energy efficiency game.

Want more proof we are the real deal? We just surpassed 100 million square feet evaluated in our first year of availability. We are growing rapidly and need great developer talent.

We are looking for great Front-end Software Engineers, Server-side Software Engineers and Web Developers

Much as I like the Economist, this isn't a very good article. It doesn't clearly distinguish proto and small-scale from large scale manufacturing and glosses over the fact that resource, energy, labor and transportion cost all affect the final cost of products in different ways.

There's no disruption or revolution, mechanical and manufacturing engineers have taken all these factors into account as a matter of course. The availability of better 3D printing is great and we use it to our advantage all the time but it's just one tiny aspect of the overall manufacturing landscape.

You'll have the opportunity to learn, hone your skills, and contribute valuable work to real projects.

I work with a team that's distributed across the world. Most of us are in the US (split across the time zones), but a few in europe, and a few elsewhere as well.

I've found it's not all that big of a deal, much less than I thought it would be. However if there are issues/questions that arise you have to handle them fast, as your overlap in a day is just a few hours if that.

If the company has a hard time getting requirements out there, or the employee has an issue with getting 'stuck/blocked' all the time, then it's going to be a much bigger deal.

Ah, if that's the case, then this seems much better.

If the user has to explicitly say, "Upload this picture" and only then does the upload start, then this seems to be much better.
Any chance of using Linkscape to create/power an alternative search engine to Google?
I've seen a lot of articles on it with varying data and results, but I think the answer is it depends on your audience and goals. Your intuition is dead-on and is usually the main argument for plaintext emails. I run Hacker Newsletter (http://hackernewsletter.com) and had looked into doing just plaintext, but found it was too hard to skim because of all the links.

The other big factor is how much you want to track. For me, it is key to know what is popular so I can adjust what I pick over time to include what my subscribers like more.

I'm more afraid that the use of a VPN will actually become less secure than without using it. ISPs are governed by different laws ensuring your privacy (to some extent). VPNs aren't subjected to those laws and can thus, legally, sell you out long before your ISP ever could. Sure, the potential outrage for such behavior is probably enough to convince most VPN services to never do it (although a secret agreement with MPAA or similar is probably tempting for many) - but you get no extra protection against the law.

Since the moment someone has a warrant against you both the VPN and your ISP are obligated to cooperate you really have nothing to gain, in theory, from using a VPN in order to pirate.

There is one exception and that is if your VPN resides in a different country, then filing a warrant is probably trickier but with time this hole will probably be a lot smaller (at least within countries of EU etc.). And having a VPN in another country is of course not the best thing you can do performance wise.

That or the absurd idea that VPNs is to be criminalized. I wish it was a joke but politicians are seriously considering it.

Occupy.com Launches in Time for May Day Protests
That link lead me to a NY times article from december 2000 with the following paragraph describing the height of the 1999 bubble: "Even the most traditional brokers and investment banks set aside the notion that a company's stock price should reflect its profits and urged investors not to miss out on the gold rush."

That sounds eerily similar to todays climate.

Each role is a hands-on position and you will be working closely with other developers on your team and editorial. There is the opportunity to work on a large number of fun and challenging problems as the site and team grow.

Frontend Developer - We're not beholden to any JS framework (yet) but lets assume jQuery as a start point. Emphasis on building solid user experiences and web applications. Focus on new and emerging "HTML5" technologies and APIs (localStorage, geo, offline) and a view to mobile first.

Design - Looking for a strong design lead to work with product and dev (we're all on the same team, literally). You'll be given wide creative voice and actively encouraged to push in new directions as opposed to traditional methods.

Bill Nye The Science Guy has a bunch on his website.
This guy comes off as a cynical MBA, and he actually is one. His valid points are:

- big data is overhyped

- potential benefits are likely smaller than you think (this is true for most new technologies)

BUT:

- he seems unaware about modern analysis tools and their power

- state of the art in machine learning has actually advanced a lot in the last 20 years

- as a result a lot of problems that were intractable back then are being solved (Jeopardy, Go)

- there are completely new problems (all the social stuff, huge recommender systems)

- big companies are not good at innovating

- outsourcing is MUCH harder than it seems, especially to Bangalore

If you want to pay to improve your piracy experience, Usenet is the way to go. For about $20 a month you can get unlimited downloads of whatever, as fast as your home connection can handle, non-peer-to-peer. It's not as general a solution as VPN, but it's kind of amazing to me that Usenet doesn't get more attention, at least if VPNs are now starting to.
At least you get a choice among hundreds of VPN providers and can choose a privacy-respecting one, whereas most of us are stuck with a monopoly or duopoloy in ISPs.
