yep. gates has enabled research that simply would not get done otherwise because it is not viewed as being a good candidate for development. that is, vaccines.

but i don't think he's looking for a return in monetary terms. he's looking for results of a different kind.

and that's the difference.

now, the question to ask is whether the investors that enable these sv startups have enough capital that they could fund projects to get non-monetary results, even if it means they might take a loss.

that's why things like spacex and such are different. it's not just about the money.

the worst part of this facebook ipo is it is totally unnecessary. they do not need the capital to carry the facebook idea forward. there is no reason they need to pass the risk on to the public.

when you invest in facebook you do so for one reason only: a financial return. facebook contributes little to society. it's technology that makes the contribution. this is hard for some people to process. but you can take away facebook and technology still remains. everything that we are doing with facebook is still possible. the network effect is still there.
First things first, I'm very sorry for your loss; it's never easy to lose a friend, let alone one so young. With that said...

This hit so close to home that it's scary. I'm 24, and my weight hovers between 350 and 385lbs. I've always been fat and otherwise unhealthy. While I don't eat a lot (I definitely eat more than I should, but I don't think that I eat to excess by any means), what I do eat is terrible; that's gotten worse since I moved to NYC and had money to get delivery effectively every night, meaning I eat at my computer and pay no attention to what I'm eating. In my case, it's not gaming but programming that's killing me; I don't get away from the computer and exercise effectively at all, and even if I ate perfectly I'd still be screwed for that reason.

But with that said, blaming programming/gaming/whatever for my health problems is like blaming the manufacturer of my chair for making it so damn comfortable. At the end of the day, it's an excuse to take the attention away from the real issue: sedentary lifestyles are unhealthy and will kill you.

I don't want to get too far off-topic here because this is about your friend, not me or anyone else here, but the focus really needs to be put on a healthy lifestyle, not on isolating one specific component as the failure point. A serious change in my life (and I imagine Russell's) wouldn't involve removing the object of obsession, but changing a million factors, and it's definitely easier said than done; that said, it's something I'm working hard on myself if only because... I want to live.

Edit: Something that I missed while writing this initially, as I got caught up in it.

> We should have tried harder.

I know you say that with the best of intentions, and I know that you're beating yourself up over this, but you shouldn't be. Speaking as someone who's been on the receiving end of that many times, I can't describe how deeply embarrassing it is to be in this position and how much shame is involved. I know you can't exactly hide being this fat, but you damn sure try to put it out of mind and keep it from being a topic of conversation. That absolutely makes it harder to get help. Think of it like someone being a closet alcoholic, but they always reek of beer regardless.

This is somewhat like the way antibodies are formed. There are genetic changes (recombination) at the DNA level in the antibody hyper-variable regions. This is how we produce antibodies for everything based on a single gene (somewhat).

However, antibody VDJ recombination is more akin to write-only memory. Once it is produced, it doesn't change.
From FAQ

How can I get a free developer kit?

We’re distributing thousands of kits to qualified developers, because, well, we want to see what kinds of incredible things you can all do with our technology. So wow us. Actually, register to get the SDK and a free Leap device first, and then wow us.

Do you support windows?

Yes! We also support native touch emulation for Windows 8.

How about Linux?

Linux support is on the agenda.

When do dev-kits ship

Depending on which batch you’re in; anywhere from 1-3 months.

What are the tech specifications for the LEAP?

TBD.

Hey thanks a lot for the reply, really means a lot. It's good perspective because you've accomplished so much in tech and I guess I have a head start in that regard.
These devices should be used with the monitor turned into a drafting-table like angled work surface instead of mounted vertically in the usual way. If you can work touch/resting into the screen, you have a much more humane setup.
Ah. Even better.

Thanks.
You can't. He's confused.
Point #2 really hit home for me. I recently switched jobs and my new job affords significantly less opportunity to get up and walk around. It is essentially in a business park and the city I live in is much more of a commuter city than I'm used to. Any suggestions on how to maintain a non-sedentary life?

I usually go running or hit the gym after work, but a lot of the new research is indicating that sitting all day and then working out for an hour is quite a bit worse for you then staying mobile all day, even if the net amount of exercise is equivalent. Thinking about how much time I spend sitting at a desk is pretty depressing for me.
I'm a web developer and software developer for 20+ years and I didn't have a clue what Coda was about until I did a lot of viewing/reading their site. Very pretty but very badly explained.
This was always awesome to me. I knew it perfectly from the moment I saw the ashtrays that it was a conscious and genius decision for the human-centered system of an airplane.

This has business implications more than UI implications, I think. We don't question airlines when it comes to safety regulations, pilot time off, good amounts of rest, all that. We regulate everything liberally. Air travel is a system designed like clockwork for every single variable and every single complex input. And it works nearly flawlessly.

Yet, in business—even in the best businesses—we expect far more of individual people than they are capable of, instead of improving the systems they're in. You have to control for both, and design for the realities of business and work; even the human ones. Don't believe in myths, don't depend on rockstars, and prepare for anything. Improve your systems as if it was as important as air travel. Your employees are great, but put ashtrays in the bathrooms so they don't set the plane on fire. So to speak.

For those interested in systems thinking and especially how it relates to people and business, look up W. Edwards Deming and read at least his 14 points. Read "Out of the Crisis" for more. Personally I think systems thinking needs to be more prevalent in business today, but we're still a very individualist society so it's very difficult to make the leap. Something to consider as well.

Bootstrapped GitHub Now Raising a Round from Andreessen Horowitz
Thank you for your thought-provoking blog post. I think wide-scale group experimentation and play is slowly becoming much more incorporated into our daily lives and I'd love to see that process speed up.

Organizations like Groupon, LivingSocial, Airbnb, Kickstarter and (around where I live) The Boston Society of Spontaneity are all encouraging people to get out and make more random, meaningful connections. I look forward to the day when these organizations, ideas like thepoint.com, and the concept of something like a "sanctuary city" [1] are more commonplace and acceptable.

[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanctuary_city
As mentioned earlier, I am waaaaaaaay overweight. That, of course, means that I'm at risk for heart disease, diabetes, and all that jazz. So when I found myself sitting in my chair with shooting pains and numbness in my left arm, and severe chest pain, my first thought was "well shit, time to call 911 because I'm having a heart attack". To make a long story short, the actual cause of the symptoms I felt was a combination of a herniated disc in my neck and a panic attack, but the thought that death is right around the corner, due to something very preventable, is not something you ever forget.

So while I've not lain on my death bed while dying from 'nothing', I can tell you that thinking you're about to die from something in your control (at least partially) is a terrible, terrible feeling. I really can't emphasize how bad a feeling that is. I love butter, but I'd trade it in a heart beat to never feel that again. Who knows, maybe it's the same whether it's in your control or not.
My uncle was killed 6 years ago in a plane crash. In the following days and at the services held, many people said that he "died doing what he loved." My aunt said that this was the worst consolation she received.

No, it wasn't--knowing the context actually makes your post quite a bit more thought-provoking. What languages have you programmed in?
I'm kind of flabbergasted at how good that Construct theme is. I've looked at themes on ThemeForest and didn't see anything of that calibre for sale. Now I'm awkwardly wondering whether I can buy a theme for my Rails site instead of amateurishly hamfisting it myself. Arggh.

This is an important lesson. Programmers are constantly blaming users for this and that. Yes, it can make sense for stuff that's rare, but building your apps around the idea that users are rational human beings who read error messages and instructions makes no more sense than building your apps around the idea that computers have unlimited processing power and storage space.

99% of the time, "that was the user's fault" just doesn't cut it. You need to be design around the user's flaws just as you need to design around the computer's flaws, the network's flaws, the OS's flaws....

Because, although it could bring down a plane, it's very likely not to. The fire will be detected quickly and then put out.

Your question is sort of like asking, if an airliner can fly on one engine, why do they bother putting on two? The answer, quite simply, is robustness.
You do understand that it wasn't the iPhone that killed Windows Mobile, Palm, Symbian and (maybe) Blackberry, right?

It certainly didn't help, but to this day (and probably for the foreseeable future), there is still a larger non-iPhone slice of the market to divide up. Existing smartphone players could have stuck with incremental improvements and held onto more than enough to survive.

As evidence, I'll note that iPhone didn't pass Symbian until somewhere between Q2 and Q4 2011 (depending on which analyst you believe) - after Nokia announced the switch to Windows Phone. Existing players could have survived the iPhone, but something else happened...
I'll just add my agreement to Rocksmith. I've found it to be a lot of fun aside from the learning aspect. It's a fun game albeit with a quirky interface.

The fact that it lets you plug in your real guitar is definitively nice. It handles bends, chords, slides etc... is super nice (not sure that the gTar supports these from the video).

I will say the tech isn't perfect it sometimes will let you get away with things it shouldn't but you can be your own police too.

If you already own a guitar it's a cheap investment I feel. If you don't I really don't but want to learn. I believe you'll be better served with this than gTar. You'll have a real guitar at a minimum. I can forsee a upgraded gTar with a 3/4 plug etc... I'd wait and see. Plus the iPhone requirement makes it's it non workable for many people.

(I don't think this should discourage the gTar folks, I'm sure they will have enough early adopters to improve the concept.)
"The fire risk alone should immediately discount it."

A quick Google turns up only two airline accidents possibly attributed to cigarettes (a 1982 Illyshin IL-18 crash in Guangzhou, China and a 1973 crash in France). Pretty minimal, given that smoking was allowed on millions of flights for close to 90 years.
Site is down. A conspiracy by the TSA to bring down those that would thwart security, no doubt. ;)

I don't know about the Middle East. I've flown on just about all the Middle Eastern airlines over the past 7 years, I don't think I've seen a single one that permitted smoking.
Very informative. The use of code examples is a nice touch. I imagine that a lot of novice game developers could benefit from this guide.

Ember uses a built-in customized version of Handlebars, so there's no extra download for that. However, jQuery is a separate download.
That might explain why they are using an unmodified coffee machine, with a robot in front of it: it preserves the theatre.

From an efficiency viewpoint, it's got to be better to have a single machine that just makes coffee, rather a machine to make coffee and a machine to drive the coffee machine. I do think there is a market for Heath Robinson / Rube Goldberg style vending machines that produce a product, but also produce a show to go with it.
Given that they haven't ever taken any VC money, I wonder if they're doing this so the founders can cash out.
My work, as in day job, usually consists of 3-4 hours working with 3-4 hours having lunch, chatting with colleagues, staring at the window, reading reddit/HN/LJ, doing some 'transparent' research on my startup. And that's when I'm working hard.

Working on my startup could easily drag me into a 8-10 hours race with only a few tea breaks.

They had ~ 70 employees. This implies real revenues. What makes you think the founders couldn't cash out?
I disagree.

Yes, they obviously have quite a few loose screws (read: whoever invested 100MM in that).

Either way, this is not a matter of "tightening". It's a matter of hiring an admin and having him not only pay for himself after 3 months, but for 1-2 other employees, too.

Yes, when you have 100MM in the bank then a mundane couple dozen thousand dollars a month might seem to matter less. But I can't think of a company where that kind of decadence has led to anything positive in the mid term.
No, we let it slide after SW... it's funny, coming into that event my friend and I were really fired up about it, after the event we felt a bit deflated; most people didn't seem to get why people would want to put money into something like this, one of the judges even called it 'odd charity' despite me explaining it wasn't really charity at all. Also the attorneys that were there were pretty pessimistic about it and cautioned us about all sorts of legal issues.

But it is something I want to see in the world, so happy to throw the idea out if anyone wants to tackle it.

Ember is a much more complicated than spine.js. I recently did work with Backbone.js and Ember.js and reviewed the documentation for Spine.js. Ember has a lot of magic that's really awesome, but it can be difficult to learn how to work within the framework properly.

Not entirely new. See the Danger Hiptop / Sidekick (and its download catalog) from 2002, among other examples.

Did Apple do much better with a more powerful device and a large user population used to buying music and other media from them? Absolutely. But that's still doing it better, not doing something entirely new.
You might be right about any number of such subtleties, but you are not right about this. There is no way that spending half an hour to learn how public-key authentication works is a bad investment for any person working on an application that communicates with something over a network.

My point is that it is very unlikely anyone will try. There is exactly nothing stopping anyone from packing an airplane bathroom with alcohol soaked paper towels and lighting it on fire; and yet it has not ever happened. The TSA is a colossal waste of time and money - the more ways that it can be pointed out the better.

The documentation also completely ignores a number of objects and properties available in the framework which means that you either have to scan the source code or read through questions on www.stackoverflow.com with the [emberjs] tag.

About a year ago, I picked up a set of Perfect Pushups, those rotating pushup handle things you see advertised on TV. I try to do a set of 10 each hour while I'm at work. Co-workers looked at me askance at first -- probaby still do. I've cited the studies warning about the health risks of sitting at your desk too long. Nevertheless, I try to be discreet.

I still work out most days after work. But the push-ups get me out of my chair during the day, don't take more than a minute to do a set, and give brain and body a little charge.

I recommend something like the Perfect Pushup -- besides all the reasons in their commercials -- because they help overcome the psychological ickiness of putting your hands on the floor (even if it is no dirtier than your keyboard.) With all the effort corporations are giving to getting their employees to walk 15 minutes a day to bring down health insurance costs, I think the Perfect Pushup makers are fools not to promote this sort of office usage for their product.
They have plans to grow, which they need money for. If it was obvious they were just trying to cash out no VC would invest.

Given that Google bought Android in 2005 and was reasonably far along when the iPhone came out, I'd say it is safe to say that Android would have existed whether or not iOS did.

Would it have been significantly different today? Sure. But by that standard, iOS would have been significantly different today without Android, too.
The other reason for it is to make people feel safer about flying on planes. I think it has long outlived its usefulness for that purpose, but that may be my bias toward rationality speaking.

The author's making a slightly different point to the one you're trying to argue:

> the benefits of exercise massively outweigh the risks of even a dangerous activity like climbing.

In other words, the risks of heart attack, diabetes and other diseases are worse than rock climbing, even if you go climbing twice a week.
The airlines actually save money by preventing smoking : The air in the cabins needs to be recycled less often. The flip side, though, is that air-bourne diseases are more prevalent on flights now, since the air is rebreathed more often before filtering. Source : Qi series 1 (BBC UK).
