Well I appreciate them having a market (at least at a university with on-the-go students), automation backfired on Starbucks a few years back.

They ended up getting rid of many of their more automated machines because the "theater" was lost [1].

It seems reasonable. As long as the quality on the site is not dropping what is the problem with affiliate links?
Because somewhere in a Anon marketing meeting the DoJ plant pipes up and says "hey, we should put something about how vaccines are a tool of the 1%", and everyone else thinks it is a good enough idea to include it?

This post on Great Hackers is a good read for every programmer lhttp://www.paulgraham.com/gh.html
I hate the Django ORM and I don't know why Django doesn't just deprecate it and switch to SQLAlchemy as the new default, which is a much, much better ORM and used primarily by non-Django Python apps.
Err, the vast majority of vaccines have a colossal amount of government/corporate push even when a cursory look at the history books shows that the vast majority of catastrophic communicable diseases were in decline before mass vaccination programs. The solution? Proper hygiene, clean water and modern sewage treatment. Seriously. Most of these virulent diseases were at their deadliest before Pasteur convinced everyone that "germs" actually do exist. They peaked in fatal potency with mass-migration to cities during the late 18th and early 19th century.

So I can understand the evolution of the thought process that companies like Glaxo-Smith-Kline and Novartis, to say nothing of the well-document link between the WHO and Tamiflu manufacturer during the H1N1 pandemic, have undue influence on whether you take a shot of a polio vaccine for a disease that is literally only spread through contact with infected feces. When's the last time you bathed in shit-filled water?
It seems unfortunate that you can't configure screen readers to say "_" as "under" or some such thing. Also, I think it would be very useful if punctuation was pronounced in a different voice or tone.
Online Privacy: How to Control Your Personal Data
Googling keywords like non-coding RNA, reverse transcriptase, and epigenetics suggests that even further back than this article, this was suspected to be the case.
Same as a DNA samples then. We Brits let them get away with that one, why would we be bothered by mere phone data? The battle is well and truly over. Well, I say over, it never really started. I really don't know why we don't just have random home searches, you know, just in case, and of course, what have we got to hide?

What I would like to know is what will the tipping point be? When will the general public say no, enough is enough?
> That kind of job is something that NOBODY needs to do. If we really tried, we could automate those jobs within a couple of decades or less.

OK, so let's all go without fruit for 20 years? No, that kind of job is something that SOMEBODY needs to do for as long as a couple more decades, and it's something that SOMEBODY has needed to do for the entire history of the human race. If somebody needs to do it, why can't you or I? Because we're so fucking spoiled and lazy that we get worked up over having to work in cubicles?

I get your argument. I think any good programmer is insulted by the notion of doing something a machine could do. And if it was between me and a machine, I'd happily sit on my ass and not worry about it, just like I happily sit on my ass and don't worry about calculating square roots. But it's not between me and a machine, it's between me and another human being who was born in less fortunate circumstances and goes out of his way for opportunities that I feel are below me. For someone in our position to sit around blithely talking about how automation can solve the problem "within a couple of decades", as if that's a solution to labor rights and unemployment today, is like one of America's founding fathers writing about the inalienable rights and freedoms of man while owning slaves.
Yup. ASL uses a pretty large amount of space and it's not clear to me that this thing can resolve every gesture. For instance, what happens when one hand occludes another from the Leap's perspective? Can it know that my thumb is up if the rest of my hand is hiding it?

But we can imagine a kind of ASL shorthand, like the original Palm Pilot's 'Graffiti'. Or, maybe if you buy two or three, you can set them up to combine perspectives, giving them more insight into the full 3d space.

That could be useful to deaf people and maybe could also serve as a new form of shorthand for people who are writing long texts on devices without keyboards.
These days I won't get near an addictive game - I tend to favor games that I can easily pick up and put down, like collectible card games or board games. Also, as a "game designer" I often question whether I should intentionally make my game non-addictive.
I love the UI. Simple and focused.
My 2 cents - When I am in a different day, other than today, perhaps there can be an indication that what I am viewing is not today's task list. There could be a watermark or something of the sort saying 'tomorrow' or a date or something. Currently it displays the date, but I'll miss it if I am switching between tabs.
Likewise, I submitted a dev request. I'm already working with Kinect/Primesense tech to get point clouds and do gesture recognition work, but this could be a cheaper and potentially better option. At this point however, who knows? There's just not enough info on the capabilities, features, and API.
Having a knowing friend is the only real way to shop for a guitar. I was lucky at the time when I was starting that I had my brother-in-law help me choose between the cheap guitars and we found something for under $100 that sounded "good enough". Straight away he told me: "start with this, if you don't get bored in 2 months sell it and buy a $300 guitar".

Failing that, you can head to a small music shop where the guys selling (sometimes they have an in-store technician) can give lend you a hand at choosing something worth your money. Never buy your first instrument from a big shop where the guy behind the counter doesn't know shit.
I second that request.
That sounds like an issue with the screen reader, surely? CamelCase is arguably somewhat less readable for the seeing than underscore_separated_words, as the underscore can be read practically as a space. Presumably, you'd need a syllable to distinguish between CamelCased and underscore_text, but I don't see why you can't have Python or Ruby style underscores as a convention?
Seems like a more extensible/future-proof approach would be to have some sort of built-in storage that was accessible via USB. I'm not sure precisely what part of the iPhone is required to make this work, but it seems far easier to not tie it so directly (i.e., the physical enclosure).

Plus then you have the benefit of not limiting the product to only those people who have an iPhone. :)
Agreed. Especially not when algorithmically managed. It is in no way comparable to a curated service / site.

The author refuses to admit any bias in their position, too (that they make money in and around the world of affiliate marketing).
I meant a really very big faded watermark as background of task list.
Will it be able to emulate a trackpad and OS X Lion gestures?
Why does it say "$9.99 for now"? Does it mean the price will come down or go up?
What is the API of the dev kit like? Does it give the programmer events translated into hand kinematics (like, 'right index finger pointing forward') or is it just a cloud of points?

What language bindings will it ship with?
Let he who casts aspersions actually check to make sure he doesn't make a fool of himself.

The Panic guys definitely did work to make the site work in different browsers. There's some notes up on their blog at http://www.panic.com/blog/2012/05/notes-from-the-bleeding-br.... Of interest is the fact that they spent a day trying to figure out why Firefox was broken, but stopped when they discovered that Firefox 13 Beta 1 fixes it. They also put in workarounds for Chrome/Firefox bugs.

In any case, even if they hadn't done that, there's a far cry between "Designed for IE on Windows", and using new web standards that aren't fully implemented in all browsers yet.

I really dig the idea, and probly like many people here came up with it independently years ago (though using a smart phone as the brain never occurred to me). But it kind of leaves a sour taste in my mouth and heres why:

A decent sounding fender acoustic or electric will only cost you about $250 brand new. And then you have a real guitar, that will get better and more valuable with age. The GTar is a hunk of plastic that will end up in a landfill and be obsolete in 3 years.

It's tied to the most recent IPhone. Isn't that a huge red flag for other people? Unless the connector is modular, this thing will be useless when the next IPhone comes out.

People aren't going to want to hear you practice on it. Luckily your iphone can't get loud enough to annoy your neighbors, but the small speakers and digital sounds aren't going to be pleasing to your friends.

---

That all being said, I think more people should learn to play music and really any attempt to simplify, or encourage the process is a net benefit to society. To me the GTar just doesn't like it would be as fun or rewarding as buying a real guitar.
You can't make this shit up! Err, wait.
True, unusued CPU power is "going to waste", but when an i7 950 overclocked to 3.5GHz, running of an SSD and 1600MHz memory with Chrome 18 uses 20% of CPU for a transition that's a problem (though with what is a different argument).

My point, though, was that to me it highlighted a more symptomatic issue, that a certain segment of the population, who used to rail against discrimination against their chosen platform, are more than happy to cheerlead / defend / exonerate discrimination for their chosen platform.
Pretty much, with different objects for "lockin". ;)
But does anyone really think of glass? How would glass help with familiarity? Lots of hardcore digital people always had their terminals set to transparent. Microsoft (following Apple^) did the same and add a blur for usability reasons.

If MS suddenly declared that the solid blue shapes in Windows 8 are solid-colored origami paper, would the same interface suddenly be worse because it was skeuomorphic?

(^ I'm not talking about the mirror Dock in 10.5, but about the transparent modal dialogs with a blur in 10.5+(?), and the old 10.4 Dock.)
Sorry to hear about your friend Ben.

I actually had to kick the video game habit I have to get my electronics cert by August (or I am jobless, will be the first time in 30 years) and I haven't played any game at all since early December last year. Console (an apt word) or PC games certainly are addicting, some people say it can't be since it isn't an opioid drug (some say the same thing about weed) but it's your world when you're alone.

It will be nice if, maybe, someday technology will be so seamless that you won't sit and browse the web or play video games maybe it will be a part of our lives all the time but more subtle. Like the telephone was so futuristic when it came out people had no idea it would become so ubiquitous and easy to use. Maybe information won't have to be sifted through on Google or Duckduckgo it will just be there when desired.

I remember reading about stimulus response reward training given to US Army soldiers so they would instinctively fire at the enemy it pretty much removed the thinking part of the procedure. That's what it seems like for me anyway when I played, really I had trained myself to play without thinking and kills in the game were my reward.
I'm sorry, do you remember the state of touch screen consumer devices pre-iPhone? It was a much different world. If your jaw didn't drop a little the first time you saw the pinch/pull zoom on a map during the keynote, I don't know what it would take to actually amaze you.
Actually, altering the link can alter the destination because in many cases the page presented to someone who entered via an affiliate link is different than the page presented when someone enters with a "naked" link. So if safe harbor is meant to protect a provider who doesn't make any changes to user generated content, then changing the link structure can in fact change the intent of the user.
It's also because if you make it untimed, some poor shmuck will spend 8 or more hours trying to finish it when they don't have a chance.

Is the 42k min+gzip all in? Or are jQuery and Handlebars still separate downloads?

A link doesn't need to be a copyrightable work for the "material" posted by a user to be considered altered. What matters is how a court defines "material" and whether or not the court would define that "material" as modified by the service provider or not.
Hmm I've just pre-ordered two from Japan (and applied to the dev program too).

Pinterest would be a even greater risk if they were to apply their own affiliate links to other people's copyrighted content. By putting a monetization model on other people's content, they would instantly lose any possibility of making a fair use claim.
Startup surprises
Given their growth rates and cash in the bank, and the fact it is still looking for a business model, it is probably better for them to focus on their key problems before working on other issues. If they were self funded, like 37signals, and are running operations where they'd tighten the screws on cost, then the focus is different again.

The law in the US (Title 17) is generally more restrictive. It used to be technically illegal to copy a program from disk to ram when you ran it, and Congress had to pass an amendment (Section 117) to allow that.
they didn't create an entirely new market

The App Store provided an entirely new sales and delivery platform for inexpensive smartphone software programs.

This is a $2B market for software that didn't exist before. I'd call that an entirely new market. Perhaps not big by Apple scale, but lots of companies would kill to have a $2B market.

You keep mentioning death, but death is just the worst possible outcome. What about maiming, paralysis, broken bones, etc.?

My uncle played football in high-school, broke his knee and it's bothered him ever since. He didn't die.

Everything we do has risk, and we shouldn't let it consume us. But I'd also not focus on death in isolation.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automat

My dad (who is 81) used to tell me about an automat that existed in Philadelphia when he was young called Horn & Hardart, in which was purely a rack of vending machines where you got coffee, pastries, lunch etc. This was in the 1950's. The business collapsed in the 60's.

A number of other attempts have been made over the years to bring back automats, but none have been particularly popular in the US. From what I've heard, in Asia they are thriving.

For whatever reason, apparently we Americans need humans to serve us hot beverages.
Statistics != "logging"

Then again anyone is free to track/not track, stat/not stat (so far at least) and only "not track" subset of their data (as long as they don't lie)

Then again there's a few privacy-aware websites who do logging and some stats but on pseudonymized IPs which is also a pretty decent compromise.

Firstly, I should have been more specific. I meant better physically -- physical activity, even overactivity, is better under the vast majority of circumstances to video gaming.

Secondly, I don't have negative opinions about gaming -- I play a lot of video games myself, in addition to other hobbies. I have negative opinions about obsessions, whether its an obsession with gaming or an obsession with work. (By negative opinion, I don't mean that I judge those with such obsessions poorly; merely that I consider them unhealthy.)
It seems like they're using the iPhone for pretty much all intelligence, which makes sense. Custom embedded systems are non-trivial to design, manufacture, and bootstrap software for (I've been involved in some capacity with several). You'd save significant effort and trivially enable many more features by relying on something as powerful and mature as an iPhone.
When I look at my more active friends, dying is the least of problems really. I had four friends who had their legs broken in terrible ways from skating or horse riding, while I haven't even had to go to the hospital since childhood.

Things like that could easily make you more sedentary for the rest of your life.

I'm not sure about climbing, I just don't think the math is as easy as that :)
Ankle boots
I actually am an experienced programmer - just not in Python yet. ;) I wrote the post from the perspective of someone with a keen interest in computer science education. My specialty is teaching beginners, whether it's a week-long course for eighth graders or non-major undergrads. This context is likely not clear in the post on its own.

When learning Python, I looked at it through the lens of someone just getting started with programming. While it's not really possible to do this in a completely unbiased way, that was where my musings came from.

In terms of your thoughts on programming: I find them interesting. I think it's a reasonable perspective. For the audiences I work with, it can be important to hook students early on with the cool stuff or else you might lose them too early. I personally hope we can then get them into what you define as programming, but even if we can't, at least they leave with something.

> who is allowed to opt out and study something abstruse in college for four years.

College is one of the last bastions of learning for the sake of learning. As programmers who often exalt creation for the sake of curation -- and discovery for the sake of discovery -- I think its better we commend that, rather than condemn it.
Honestly, I don't think you're giving them enough justice. It was more than just a "nice set of improvements", as the corpses of PocketPC, Symbian, Palm (and soon maybe) Blackberry can attest.

>Apple definitely forced the pace of evolution in that market substantially, but they didn't create an entirely new market.

Here's one example: mobile and mobile apps. Look at the number of start-ups (and established companies) in mobile, compared to just a few years ago. The app store model made buying, downloading and installing mobile apps, brain-dead simple for users which exploded the market.

You have to give them more credit.
