I'm not necessarily saying you're wrong, but supposedly MS gets $5 for every Android HTC sells... http://www.businessinsider.com/htc-pays-microsoft-5-per-andr...

Site here says that in 2010 HTC was selling Androids at a rate of around 18 million per year... http://www.fool.com/investing/high-growth/2010/05/27/deciphe...

So that means around $90 million in income for MS, for which they did basically nothing, pure profit.

On the other hand, $90 million just isn't that much when you're MS. Even if they had a similar deal for all Androids (which they don't AFAIK), it would still only be $180 million, less whatever they gave up to get those deals done.

So MS does seem to be making money on Android, but the amount is clearly dwarfed by their other businesses.
Nobody else thinks it's an odd coincidence that this post by Linus and a post by Douglas Crockford both on Google Plus were submitted two hours apart?

To clarify, I don't think it's a coincidence and I think Google employees probably submitted these.

Yeah, lots of broscience nonsense like that stems from the "bob did it and he is ripped so you must need to do it" line of thinking. Sedentary people need 0.69 g of protein per kg of lean body mass. Strength athletes need 1.41 g/kg (which is only 0.64 g/lb, way below the crazy numbers broscience likes to repeat). People who lift weights casually 3 times a week are going to be somewhere in the middle obviously.

And in your summary and description, there are a great many almost borderline poetic parallels to a lot of situations and things in our life; there is a tension, almost an arc... great effort but it is all in futility, in vain because there are more modern, better solutions. Old technology vs. new ones? Past vs present? Or the great effort it takes people in poor countries to do something that is totally effortless for most of us? And those are just some silly ideas but still fun to think about it, at least for me.

SEEKING WORK - Toronto / Remote

Computational Designer, specializing in 3D parametric design

Blog: http://www.emergentforms.com/blog/

Projects: http://emergentforms.com/projects.html

Trained as a design architect, I am exploring ways of applying my expertise in the design of 3D physical space to your products. My work ranges from the design of a major public space in a North American urban center to the planning and design of a professional Football stadium. In all of my projects my work centers on creating an optimal user experience while communicating strong ideas about the identity and brand of my clients.

I want to help you develop your products by applying these skills to your design and user interaction challenges. My skill set lies in communicating complex ideas in intuitive ways to clients using 3D visualisation, video and graphic design techniques. Please see my portfolio ( http://emergentforms.com/projects.html ) for samples of my work.
I'm not an Instagram user, so I may be off base... but why not start uploading the photo right when the user snapped it, i.e. before selecting a filter. Then apply the selected filter server-side on the original photo. That way you save a few more seconds while the user is selecting the filter.
Stitch Fix is in San Francisco at 3rd and Market. Full-time candidates only, local preferred strongly over remote, relocation possible for the right candidate.

Stitch Fix is a totally new way to shop -- check out our video (http://bit.ly/GSelpp) for a quick introduction to our service. Here's how we do it: Our clients provide us with details about their size and personal style. Once a month they are offered a Fix: for a $20 styling fee we hand select 5 items using a combination of our proprietary styling algorithm professional stylists and send it to their home. If a customer chooses to buy one or more pieces, the $20 styling fee is a credit toward their purchase. Lots of additional detail is available in our faq (http://bit.ly/JaVIM6). Our clients love the service and the business is exploding. We have thousands of paying clients, business doubled from November to April, will double again by September, and we will grow faster in 2013. We just raised our Series A from top-tier VC firm to invest in scaling engineering, operations, and merchandising -- which is where you might come in.

We are building the team that is going to take us to 10x by the end of next year. We are looking for folks that get super excited about jumping in the deep end, building outstanding products, and delighting clients. In Engineering we're big fans of Continuous Deployment, Specializing Generalists, and people that know the difference between hacking together technology and consistently delivering world-class products. We like people that take their work seriously but aren't serious at work. We believe the best products are delivered when engineers are empowered to solve problems, involved in how the business works and have a clear connection to their customer. The engineering team is currently a data and analytics engineer, a front end engineer/designer, and a generalist engineer. We are in the process of moving from a Linode/Django/jQuery architecture to AWS/Rails/(ember|backbone|similar) and beyond that we have lots of new products to build and will need to incorporate a bunch of new technology to get there.
We are looking for 2 more great generalist engineers, ideally with Rails experience but it's not a requirement.

If you're interested please send an email to jobs@stitchfix.com.

That's an interesting idea, but I suspect there are legal and practical reasons why it would be impossible to implement profitably.

A major medical incident (or worse: being diagnosed with a chronic condition) can cost tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. Any kind of "payment plan" would likely bankrupt a good number of subscribers, and then the "insurer" (really, in this case, a creditor) is left having to make up a big loss.

My preferred solution would be for the government to strongly encourage (who knows if a mandate will end up judged Constitutional) everyone to buy into truly catastrophic care coverage, with high annual deductible limits that would be subsidized for the poor. Ideally, you'd end up with a market where everyone's covered privately from birth against actual "insurable" events.

Let employers or private sellers offer "benefit plans" that cover things like Viagra, dentistry and pregnancy with better deals than you could negotiate yourself.

But ACA combines the worst of both worlds: Mandate coverage of every politically popular treatment, often with no communication to the consumer of any price information at all.

I think you are wrong. I don't think people listen to Torvalds because he created and leads the development of the Linux kernel. I think people listen to him because he is very active in the free software community, voicing his opinions, writing in a somewhat balanced way and clearly expressing what he believes. People don't always agree with him (obviously the Gnome guys don't).

You can do exactly the same thing: make your voice heard, state clearly and preferrably factually what you think is best for the free software stack. People will listen!

Is it a privacy risk at all, though? Instagram starts uploading after you click the green check mark, which presumably says, "Hey, upload this for me," and continues uploading while you dilly-dally over the photo metadata sheet.

I'm a complete paranoid when it comes to privacy issues, and I don't see any issue with an upload that starts after I click a green check mark that, to me, means, "Hey, upload my photo, please!" There's the question of what happens to the uploaded photo on their servers when you cancel at the metadata stage, for sure, but that's a data retention question, not acquisition.
