I have a form of cystic fibrosis. It is well established that it makes all the tissues generally more acid but it is not really treated under conventional medicine.

I know of people who tested urine or saliva to monitor ph levels but I did not. I monitored it symptomatically. I could feel when my gut was more acid and it eventually became clear that lung inflammation was directly correlated.

As for blood ph, the body works really hard to keep that within a narrow range. Otherwise, you die. And pretty quickly. The body will strip your bones of calcium to try to keep blood ph stable. If you have an acidity issue, it is best to assume it is systemic rather than localized.
there was an assignment to print 10000 random number.

a guy used excel, put a formula into cell A1, and drag it to A10000. file-print ... presto ... wait for 200 pages or so

i wrote a one liner matlab and printed the result in about 20 pages

i just happened to know little bit of matlab -- and that's all needed to 'beat' the competition by 1000%

Weapons grade HEU is typically 80% or above, though strictly speaking anything above about 20% is pretty easy to make a nuke out of provided you have enough material.

Also, back in the day it was quite normal for such small research reactors to use HEU (specifically, about 93% enrichment), and such reactors were pretty commonplace at the time. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Research_reactor

150 is not that much. Think of each text as a sentence in a conversation. So talking to 5 people per day, with only 30 sentences per convo, will put you at 150. Some days (not most days) I'm well over 100 and it never seems like an insane amount.

"The stock market is rarely rational. This is exploited by value investors, like myself, who invest in companies that are undervalued for no reason."

Which tends to make the market more rational again.

But I agree that the market is not always rational, else there would never be a bubble.

Why are you even talking about that kind of thing in the first 10 seconds of talking to a recruiter? Discuss the terms of the job after you get offered the job.

But you can't omit the hidden cost in your cell phone bill every month that is present regardless of whether you buy your phone from the carrier (subsidized) or from Google (unsubsidized), which will automatically make the phones sold by Google much more expensive.

The only real solution to this problem is for Google to become an MVNO and start selling cheaper cellular service (cheap enough to get people to switch en masse and bring about some real change in the market).
Microsoft to call the next generation Xbox console "Xbox 8"?
It's true there's much to be learned from microsoft on commercially successful platforms. They began with BASIC interpreters - a platform - which became a standardization across machines, to the extent that manufacturers boasted they were Microsoft BASIC compatible.

Then, their insight that DOS was important. The original PC had a choice of three OS's - MSDOS was cheapest. Start at the low end, as the article says.

Perhaps one reason they failed where iPhone succeeded was that the iPhone initially wasn't a platform. There was no appstore, you couldn't actually run apps on it, only those built in. The original iPhone was an app, not a platform - and it seems likely that that's what was needed to create that market. Of course, that doesn't excuse MS from not playing catch up as fast as Google did.

The main problem here is consumers don't want to pay $400 when they can pay $200. If they're going to stick with their carrier for the long haul the 2 yr contract isn't really a problem. It comes down to upfront cost and the carrier will always win at that game.

I agree, and I i'm surprised all the cools kids haven't moved on to some new social network already. (perhaps they have, i'm not in the crowd).

Who wants to be sharing stuff that your mum can see?

Wouldn't teenagers even hate the idea of using the same site as the old fogies in the house?
I think everyone I know uses, checks, updates, posts to Facebook using their mobile phone or iPad/Android tablet. Almost no one I know actually visits the website.

It's been a while, but last I checked the clients for these devices don't even have ads in them. If this is the case, I would wager that no one is seeing these advertisements even if it is one of the largest most visited sites in the world.

Comparisons between software and medicine
Your parent poster didn't imply agreement with the line of reasoning he explained. He was just illustrating why the question is important to begin with.
A few weeks ago, I bought an HTC One S unsubsidised from T-Mobile. The cost? $599. Friends thought I was crazy. You can get it for $199 on monthly contract! But do you know how much I pay per month? $30. For unlimited texts, web and 100 minutes of calls. I'll make up the difference within months.

If Google can make this kind of thing easier, I'm all for it.
It's about time people realised Mark Zuckerberg is a prick and Facebook is shit.

Well done.
Wow. That is very disappointing. The one reason why I stayed with my T-Mobile service was the free hotspot feature of my htc sensation 4g. I certainly won't be upgrading to its now, and will likely leave T-Mobile when my deal ends. Sure the others charge as well, but my T-Mobile service was already a compromise of poor coverage for me.
Just make it easy to cite - often the most difficult part is finding the appropriate citation. For example, how would you cite bash?

And consider the University of Illinois/NCSA license http://otm.illinois.edu/uiuc_openSource - according to gnu.org, it is a simple, permissive non-copyleft free software license, compatible with the GNU GPL.
since most Ads dont work, and people advertising "healthy food" and "local plumbing" figured it out already, the only one truly left are the advertisers that make money of ripping off innocent or unaware people: ads such as mom that makes $150 per hour, amazing cream for deep jungle that makes grandma looks like shes 30, pills that will let you lose 50 pounds in 1 week, etc.
If not ad revenue on mobiles, or loss of cool, I think what will kill Facebook is when the EU or the FTC "realizes" that social media access is a critical part of the societal infrastructure and should be regulated by government and available to all.

That is, when the EU or FTC standardizes APIs that they require of Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, Twitter so that tweets, and posts can stream easily and automatically from one network to another.

And I don't know, but I bet that could happen with the next couple of years.
It's good they got a judge who knows a little about programming :D As far as the case in general, I think it's quite interesting, but I personally feel Oracle has somewhat of a case, but to what extent, I don't know.

Downloading data and rendering a ui around it is very different from providing a general purpose HTML renderer. One is going to make you vulnerable to attacks on a single custom protocol, the other to any security issue in the rendering engine for all users of that browser. It may well be that Apple derives both business and security benefits from sticking to one HTML rendering engine, but it's simply untrue to argue there is no security benefit.

As for the iPhone being crippled — it's the only significant computer platform with no malware in the wild. And it's not for lack of interest - jail broken iPhones are not free of malware. It's a tradeoff that some customers choose to make. It's also a trade off apple thought made sense for a device we carry around, communicate with, which can track our movements, and so on.

Personally, I think the security model apple is pursuing on Mac OS X is better than that for iOS (an opt in walled garden which is what I think you want). Maybe they'll converge. But I don't think there's any evidence (so far) of insidious intent behind Apple's moves. They're figuring this stuff out as they go along, and they're being careful. One thing is pretty certain -- they can't put the genie back in the bottle, so as they ease up on security and other restrictios they need to figure out what works and what doesn't.
I think it's not a distinction of degree any more than the difference between algebra (which everyone is expected to know) is different from calculus (which most high school graduates are exposed to) and then fourier transforms and vector calculus (which 2nd year university students are expected to know).

I think something like "basic automation" provides the same type of introductory computer literacy as algebra does for maths, and "learning how to program" is similar to a continued education in maths.

Where did you get this $30 plan? Is this with T-Mobile?
A good point? I think it is false to equate a day's worth of work -- were rangeCheck to take a day of "writing, testing, debugging, naming, and documenting" -- to a day's worth of profits, but say you [they] are right, I expect Oracle can get away with $2083 -- 3e6/(24*60) -- of Google's earnings, assuming the first days of Android can be as profitable as "now." We'll see how Oracle equates their "nexus" between those lines of code and their profits, but it can't be as simple as Boise is trying to elide in this statement.
> , I agree with you, that all this should probably somehow be obtained for less than $100k.

There are efforts underway to provide the education, filtering, verification and signaling services for $0-10k per person. It can be done. We just have to cut out all the fat.
Perhaps you classify this as willfully ignorant, but I suspect he has no idea what it is like to program. He also probably assumes that if they're litigating it, it must be important or hard to do. With mental barriers like that, I could see him believing he couldn't do it in six months. But, again, you may consider that the same as willful ignorance.
There's something a bit odd about that page/edition - only one review, and just a few likes - the one I bought has thousands of reviews and likes. Could your link be a rip-off, and that's why the OCR was so bad?
I don't see how this is relevant. Just because no other country taxes in the same way as the US, doesn't make it acceptable to dodge US taxes. You don't get to choose what laws you follow based on what other countries' laws are. I paid my taxes when I was working abroad, and find it really annoying that billionaires are skipping out. In any case, the work was all done while he was a US citizen, even if he deferred realizing his gains. If this is becoming standard practice among the wealthy, then the US needs to restrict immigration more tightly.

In the book called "Dip" by Seth Godin - he talks about the plateau where most people quit when learning something new. Initially, the excitement of trying something new get people started. Once that wears off, you hit the plateau. To really become good at something, you need to fight these plateaus.
That's a consequence of cutting deals with the music industry. Apple had to block users using their iPods as devices for copying music around to enable the iTunes store to work. There are all kinds of trade off in iTunes design, but in the end it's the only significant end to end solution out there, even after all this time. (Kindle Fire is close.)

Oh and anything that involves the file system is not friendly for a surprisingly huge number of users.

Thats actually an awesome idea! the FB phone rumors were around for a while, then died. I guess FB realized everyone already has IOS/Android device... but they never seemed to pat into video a right way, just yet.

if there is none already, somebody could build a skype-type iPhone app to talk/videochat only with your FB connections. If that gets traction, it may be bought by FB, given they wont shut down the API connection.

You make it sound like search is the be all and end all reason why people use the Internet. It's not.

It's obvious that a Google employee would believe this, and believe me, I think Google ads are amazingly effective when used with Google search. I've just started using Adwords and it's great.

But Facebook is entirely different from Google search, and there is no reason why their monetization techniques need to be the same way that Google monetizes their users.

Facebook is more akin to TV in that people use it to browse content based on what their friends are doing. They aren't searching for things, they are browsing, which is different. So Google search and the techniques you use to monetize your users are completely orthogonal to how Facebook should monetize their users.

Facebook is more akin to a TV station, and if I had to make a choice, I would go for things like "sponsoring" of ads or items in the newsfeed. And the way Facebook could analyze the users is completely different. You could probably do an analysis on the types of articles or links that a user it clicking on, and then sponsoring items in the user's newsfeed that they might be interested in. "This news article was brought to you by the Ford Fusion" or "Your friend Janet went to Jamaica, there's a flight leaving for Mexico next Friday for $500 for 4 days, all inclusive, brought to you by Travelocity".

Right now, they are making something like $4/user/year in revenues, based on really terribly performing ads. I know this personally because I tried using it and it was terrible, even worse than Bing ad CTRs. In order to get to GOOG's revenues, they'll need to bring that up to $40/user/year. Depending on the growth rate, that would make FB worth even more than GOOG, so I don't think it's necessarily a bad investment at all. It all depends on how effectively and how quickly they can ramp up the monetization of their users.

Back in the day you install iTunes, stick a cd in your computer, iTunes recognizes the cd, rips it, names the tracks, loads it onto your iPod.

This is back when you had to figure out which Mp3 encoder you wanted to use.
Thomas Jefferson:

"Our ancestors... possessed a right, which nature has given to all men, of departing from the country in which chance, not choice, has placed them, of going in quest of new habitations, and of there establishing new societies, under such laws and regulations as, to them, shall seem most likely to promote public happiness"
Actually it did, and it was called the Harvard Connection, but a scam artist of a contractor thought it was a good idea and lead the founders on as if he was putting the finishing touches on the site to delay their launch and them settled that crime for pennies on the dollar, and here we are.

How complicit Saverin was in this crime is questionable, but it's clear that Zuckerberg knew exactly who he was "fucking" (his words) and how from his IMs.
Finally a sensible analysis.

Some people are just in a kind of Facebook daze.

"Hey, they had income for 3 years in a row. One billion last year. This is a sure winner."

They refuse to look at what Facebook actually does.

People will probably read your post and think you're biased because you work for Google. But there's a huge difference in what Google Plus can accomplish. You guys have the search engine data (intent) to combine with the social data.

So why doesn't Microsoft let Facebook combine with Bing? Then they would have a search engine. Or are they planning to do that already?
I have a darn similar story, writing a virtual memory manager for OS design class. I was the only one in class who even thought of instrumenting the thing, and then wrote a Python program to read the traces and tell me when frames got swapped to or from the wrong disk pages.

I was also the first one in class to actually finish the project.
Rolling with the whole talking to myself thing, I went investigating and implemented some of the suggestions with d3 and pilfered assets:

1. Does "hover and update only one poster at a time" right. If goodfli.ms had built there website as something that communicated via json instead of HTML, I would have rolled this sort of page into the graphic as well:

http://goodfil.ms/film/89441-cars-2

2. Attempted to make a visual difference between netflix and itunes. I couldn't figure out how they determined whether something was in itunes, so the colors are more of a proof of concept than anything meaningful.

3. Rolled out a trick using fisheye distortion to allow people to explore density spatially via their mouse. To learn how it was done, think about how this works:

http://bost.ocks.org/mike/fisheye/

Overall, this is quick, dirty and probably missing the point of the original graphic.

Even little nuggets from programming, gifted in the right way can radically change things for non-programmers. I introduced a friend to regular expressions and Textpad so he could cleanup the output from a news reporting system he used (excess line breaks, weird characters, that sort of thing). It turned a manual task that took him the bulk of his time into something that took seconds.

When I showed him a related tool that could hunt out and tag terms of interest using the same concept (phone numbers, email addresses, etc.) it completely changed his life. He ended up using those two little kernels of wisdom to mostly automate a previously entirely manual research process and now leads a team of 20 researchers in his field.

He's not a programmer or even a scripter, but he uses regexes pretty much every day in his work.

That’s not really what I meant. Most people do not know what algorithms are in the first place. That’s what you have to teach. You would tell them that some of the most common tasks are searching and sorting, for example, and then show different ways of doing it. It’s not about picking out the best algorithm, it’s about showing which types of problems are usually solved with algorithms and also explaining some of them, maybe also in a second step how those algorithms can be combined to solve more practical and complex problems.

That way people learn what’s possible. But you are of course right, in most cases even a naive implementation is better than manual labor.
Only realized capital gains are taxed. The capital gain is not realized until the stock is sold. So the answer is no, he's not paying "some" taxes now on his fb shares.

"The average tax rate, including payroll taxes, for the middle 20 percent of U.S. families will be 15.9 percent in 2015, according to an estimate by the Tax Policy Center, a nonpartisan research group in Washington."

Saverin's paying 15%. Sounds like the goal is met.
