Assuming current incumbents are capable of doing that. That's a big if. If their competition can't effectively compete, their profit margins will remain steady allowing them to develop more interesting vehicles/capabilities.
That's different from this article though. You fit all your content into the tweet, didn't link, responded to an open request, and required nothing else from the targeted user. I'd say you were doing it right, while these guys did it wrong.

Also seems a bit odd that Dan announced another big show today.

http://blog.5by5.tv/2012/5/18/coming-soon-big-week-with-dan-...

Probably coincidental, but TTH was a tent pole show, and Big Week appears to be one as well.

I also think that bringing in Dalrymple might have made 5by5 feel too crowded. To my knowledge, of the 5 or so major podcasts on 5by5, Talk Show was the only one hosted by a blogger. (Though I'm hesitant to call John a blogger because he rarely writes original content. 95% of DF is links or quotes with one sentence of analysis, but that's neither here nor there) Dalrymple was only the second blogger, and Gruber must have felt that Jim was stealing his thunder.

Frankly, I think it's for the best. The Talk Show has been going down hill, and can't hold a candle to B&A or Hypercritical.

Yes, it's a great first-world toy for teenagers and young adults.

>Wow, so short-sighted I don't even know where to begin. You must not know how deeply mobile technology has penetrated on earth. The fact that phones are now becoming small computers seems to completely escape you.

Likely not, as I work for a wireless provider and know, up to the minute, what our customers are doing (in the aggregate, of course). Mobile phones penetrated the market because you can use them as phones. That's the killer app. Sure, they're little computers and can do other things too. But they'd have the same penetration as the old Palm Pilot if they didn't make calls.

Tablets are too big to carry around with you everywhere. You might buy a phone and a tablet, but if money is tight you're not going to get both, and the phone is more useful.

>3rd world countries have wireless coverage. There are villages in Asia and Africa where a kid comes through on a bike (or horse!) with a car battery to charge people's phones in the slums for around a US penny or thereabouts.

Yes, but for what they pay they're not going to get the bandwidth you need to take advantage of a tablet. It makes perfect sense for people in far-flung villages to buy mobile phones - they can do things like arrange business transactions or check the latest prices for their crops. But they don't need an expensive data service to do it.

This is textbook spam and I'm glad they were banned. It doesn't matter how engaging or targeted your content is, sending automated, unsolicited messages to someone through any medium is spam.

Also, the headline is pure linkbait. There was no hacking of Twitter. Simple standard search and tweet API calls are not hacking.
My SOP is to make sure first that all non-canonical versions of the home page (the page with the most value, usually) are redirected, then make sure you set your preferred address in WMT, then add the rel=canonical tag to capture all the possible versions of the home page that you can't think of. As a side note I also noticed (the hard way) that Google treats capitalization in URIs the same way as these examples so www.Example.com is treated differently (at least for link value) than www.example.com. Basically if there is a single different character in the URI then it's considered a different URI.

You're right! The iPad isn't groundbreaking, because it exists and I can buy one today. Something really groundbreaking exists only in promo videos, has no publicly stated timeline for release, and is only actively discussed in tech news comment echo chambers.

I don't know if the transition was respectful in what regards Dan, but it sure was not respectful towards the listeners.

As you, I also feel he's free to move his show wherever he wants, but I also thing he owes his listeners an explanation, or at least a comment. 5by5 was the house we visited to listen to John (with Dan) and we show up and he's not there. A mere link on his website, with no explanation, is, in my opinion, rather distasteful. I haven't heard the new episode until the end, so I don't know if he makes any comment at the end. But certainly there's no explanation or introduction. Even if they parted ways in an unfriendly fashion, he still owes a lot to Benjamin.

Finally, he's an awful Sponsor message reader. Poor Piezo.
This is a really neat idea, it's kind of like a randomised 3D Hirth Joint[1] which means you can lock the joint into a far stronger piece than it'd be able to maintain by actuator strength alone.

Actually, just looking at the WP article

Interesting. I wonder what effect trading on Second Market had on FB's IPO. It could well be that people were gobbling up FB stock in expectation of the IPO pop. When that fizzled, they may well have dumped that stock, leading to the later depressed pricing.

Now, this is all contingent upon how much stock was being moved on SM, and the blackout period I suspect was in place preventing its trading. Still, I'd be interested in an analysis of SM's impact.
People hate change. Worse, people hate surprising change.

Mike is mostly mocking the people upset with this on Twitter, but if you enjoy a show made up of two people, people get annoyed when one party leaves with no explanation.

Lots of people say "they don't OWE us an explanation". I disagree. People invested in 5by5 through buying shirts, buying the app, listening to ads and using their promo codes, and the time they spent listening and interacting with the network. And when you sign off a show saying another one is coming, and then switch networks and drop 1/2 of the show with no explanation, that's rude.

The way this went down, there's two possibilities:

1. Dan had no idea, which is why he got the shirts printed and TTS was still on 5by5's recording schedule as of Gruber's announcement it moved to Mule.

2. Dan was in on it, but had agreed with Gruber and Mule to keep it secret, for whatever reason.

This entire article is nonsense. People in SV buy expensive cars, boats, planes, flashy watches/jewelry, and all the other shiny things that rich people in LA, NY, and Florida/Texas buy.

There's also a very poor underclass and a shrinking middle class - just like everywhere else. It's suburban America with boring office parks and shitty chain restaurants and Target stores and burrito stands just like the other 95% of the state/region. Everything is just way more expensive because there's so much money floating around here.

>As much as I dislike Facebook, there is some scientific evidence that increasing one's social ties produces measurable improvements to health, including longevity.

Yes, increasing those ties in person. I have yet to see any evidence social media has the same effect.

Also, those studies may have the causality arrow going the wrong way. Sick people tend to stay at home and not get out much, so it may be that you're more likely to have social ties if you're healthy than the other way around.

This is no more outlandish than thinking that BATS can't handle their own IPO due to technical issues ;)
You're right on what it means, but not why.

This is the reason IPOs work the way they do, with investment banks underwriting it. They get a large profit (potentially huge profit) in exchange for providing the services of a market-maker in the stock at $38/share.

There was nothing nefarious, just market making.
There's a couple of problems with that argument. Apple is a great Silicon Valley success story, but they don't make products in Silicon Valley. They design them there, but they are manufactured elsewhere. In its heyday, Silicon Valley used to make things. Tangible things.

Manufacturing companies not only provide direct labor employment opportunities, but they also create 2-3 jobs in the local economy for every direct labor position.

The hardware companies of yesteryear made products that had a compounding value in the economy. Test and measurement equipment, processors, workstations, etc., were put to use making other products that had value, hence the compounding effect. I'm sure Apple products have a compounding value effect, but a company like Facebook probably doesn't, at least to the degree the old SV companies and their products did.

Right, and that made the microcomputer a disruptive technology. Web browsing fifteen years ago wasn't "extremely expensive and cumbersome", it was cheap and pervasive.

Ergo: the iPad is not a disruptive technology. It's just an improvement on existing stuff.
I have to add my kudos to Matt and Pierre for taking the time to respond to these threads. They could clearly just refer users to the Google Webmaster forums rather than answering in detail here.

I think you should include the iphone and ipad together because they're pretty similar.

Cheap smartphones/tablets will totally transform the third world.

One good example is education:a billion+ people in the third world have awful or nonexistent education.Just imagine them having access to the best teaching in the world via khan academy, coursera etc. How will this change the world ?

What else could cheap smartphones/tablets do for the third world ? help tranform healthcare ? let them organize into big groups to achieve things? let marketers of usefull stuff cheaply reach them ?

The thing is that wasting commute time is a small problem relative to the problems the third world suffer from.And smartphones might have a big role to play in solving those.

I know Diego personally and can speak from experience that he's the sort of person that will help you more than most "angels" out there would even if they tried (most don't/can't; spray-n-pray is still in full swing out there, folks!)

Maybe we need a new label that identifies people like him. I'd like to believe that I would qualify for whatever it is that we come up with as well, but others need to decide that.

For many of the same reasons he so eloquently described I've avoided using the "angel" term like the plague, even if some people need the quick epithet to summarize where you fit in this crazy world of ours.

The so-called democratization(/crowding?) of funding is going to bring more, not less, of these types of dumb-money checkbook swinging people out into play. It will end in tears for many, but as long as we are all adults about it, and we don't place those bets with large pools of money that should be directed to a different asset class like fixed income for pension funds distributions, we'll survive yet another period of frothiness and call it a day while we wait for the next one to materialize.

There is no central bank that plays with the valuations of things (ie. price controls) in the startup ecosystem, and that's a great thing, mind you. Yet as long as IPOs like $FB today return not 1 but 3 VC funds in one large swing for the fences, we are all going to be playing this game here for a while.

Pick a side, enjoy the game and don't hate the player but the game (while you try to change it if you can!) We can all thank PG for some of the most recent changes, and blame him for the unintended consequences of his particular version of the reality distortion field.
This looks interesting as well. Thank you!
I will miss Dan and John's talks. I think it's incredibly reductive to think that the Talk Show was only Gruber's opinions.
"Ordinary people" weren't browsing the web 15 years ago? I have a truck full of AOL disks and one stock market boom/bust cycle that says otherwise.
This was kind of a strange way to answer the OP's question, although I think you did answer it. I believe he was asking whether "solving NP" means "finding polynomial time solutions to NP problems" (the traditional way to "solve" P?=NP) or "creating machines that through quantum magic can simply plow through NP problems despite not having a polynomial time algorithm for them".

I think the OP assumes that a quantum computer would indeed be able to do this, but I don't know whether that premise is true or not. I have heard this question phrased often times as "Does P=NP still matter in a world of quantum computers?". As I am not an expert on either P=?NP or quantum computing, I have no idea.

So, given that, it seems you are affirming that you are referring to just the P?=NP question and not the "practical" question of whether we can get around this through other means (such as quantum computing).

Edit: revised first sentence since I now think you answered his question.
I read it as a PR push and an implication of deus ex machina for the lack of spike in their share price.

If it was going to be a smooth transition it would have happened a decade ago. Unfortunately IPv6 wasn't designed for a gradual cutover.
I'm curious as to how you make such investments though. I thought the rules were that you either need to have net worth > $5MM or a household income of over $300k/year. Those are from the SEC website and I'm not 100% sure of whether they apply to everyone or just on second market. (I guess contract investments work otherwise..)

If those numbers are right then that still does sound out of reach. Though to be honest, $100k per investment also sounds out of reach to me but I haven't had any big silicon valley payouts.

Market is where land commute takes time. Eg., in Bay area, there are lot of people who commute from South Bay to San Francisco. Slow traffic is common during peak hours and it is frustrating. I see this area as one of the best places to try local air-commute.

It would add the third dimension to the commute space. Like the fast-lanes in freeways, lanes could be formed by altitude.

I can't find any way to answer this question. We are asking whether there is an algorithm that solves a problem in NPC in polynomial time. I don't understand the question about a "theoretical shortcut," nor what it means not to have to "calculate everything." I am assuming there is a sensible question in the OP's mind, but it's not expressed in a way that makes sense to me. That's why I tried to state the question clearly and succinctly, to provide a basis for a follow-up question from the OP.

> Or is it quantum computing that simply

We're not talking about quantum computing, we are talking about classical algorithms.

Does that help?
The 5by5 app is a lot more live-listening-focused than the Black Pixel one. The Black Pixel/Mule app is a curated podcasting client. The current 5by5 app is specifically focused on live broadcast/notification/listening. It's an interesting contrast, IMHO; I wish each app had some of the features of the other.
Seriously?

It has nothing to do with the journey itself, it is what that journey allows you to do. The settlers of the American West could not make that trip with any kind of regularity because it took so long. These days, you could live in Portland and work in Seattle. Admittedly, it would be miserable, but still. The ability to commute is life-changing.

Compare that to the iPad. It does make reading my e-mail slightly more convenient, yes. It allows a number of different UI interactions. None of these are life changing.
The problem Steve Blank is pointing out is one of solving quality of life problems, and sustainability problems when there is easier money to be made in entertaining consumers. Facebook just accentuates the point. Its a bit idealistic to think that Silicon Valley ever really had it right or that government funding is the solution to innovation of 'real' problems.

People have a large dimension of needs. Some of these needs, while necessary for survival thousands of years ago, are now obsolete as a survival utility function. McDonald's designs french fries to exploit these needs; Facebook builds social mechanisms. These needs will always be there - but at the same time there is a finite limit to the amount of attention on earth that can be expended fulfilling these old-world needs - it will plateau when human attention is exploited to the fullest. Meanwhile, there is arguably no cap for fulfilling the set of user needs that make the quality of human life better, and give our civilization the ability to sustain its own existence. Over the long-term, the set of human needs that have utility in our current environment should present the best investment opportunities - at least I sure hope so.

Yes, of course, because the underwriters in an IPO act as market-makers at the IPO share price. That's their function in exchange for making an obscene profit taking a company public.
