You just take it and use it. Joosy doesn't make to write you code in some special way (except CoffeeScript but it can be used with node.js).

What's for binding parts (pages, layouts), I doubt you will ever want to use browser parts in node. So this is not the case.
There is no need to speculate, Anandtech has already tested the battery performance of of Ivy Bridge i7s:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/5872/intel-dual-core-ivy-bridg...

It seems safe to assume they put a 36 watt hour battery in there (iPad3 is 42.5) since the transformer book is bigger in all dimensions and as you point out has hardware that needs a big battery. If the graphics are switchable (also reasonable) that should yeild 4+ hours for video and nearly 6 hours for web browsing with Flash.

I don't see why it shouldn't have decent battery as a tablet and possibly great battery life when docked as a laptop. There are also i3 and i5 models available.

Apple isn't doing this because they are supply bound on a product that has 40% margins.
Yer absolutely right. Hyper local is the only way to win as a newspaper. Sure, you can just reprint the AP stories on the big international news of each day, but a better tactic is to post pictures of locals on the front page, and to let them voice their opinions in the op-eds and column sections.

An Ohio paper did this just right a number of years ago, though I forget which city it was. It wasn't the Cox News towns, so not Dayton...

Anyway, this local Ohio paper's tactic was to replace its business section with a "Mothers" section, with info for local mothers, like day-care news, preschool listings, parenting tips, and info on places to take toddlers during the day. It worked extremely well, and the paper then opened an online forum for these Mothers, who then became the most common users of their Website.

I'm a journalist, as some of you may know. The thing that really makes a printed outlet work is its readers. They should be able to be a community, in the physical sense, rather than the social network sense. It's tough for magazines to make meatspace reader conncetions, as they are national. But local newspapers, they're a perfect place to build local communities.
The simplicity and elegance of this algorithm is really breathtaking. I'm mostly thinking out loud here, but I think you could use a related process to do inter-frame interpolation for smooth time-scaling of video.
I welcome efforts to help small business owners, but we shouldn't pretend that small business in general drives the economy.

Is that really true? Two original founders with 0.5% each?
We clearly disagree on a fairly basic level.

I'm very much of the opinion that anything which causes peace of mind is good thing and teaches the parents that their fears aren't grounded in reality. I'd say that most the fears that new parents have are rational in the overarching sense (in that it's entirely rational for a parent to worry about about their baby's health whenever the baby seems to deviating from the expected), but new parents lack the knowledge to determine if any one particular event is something that constitues an actual emergency, or is perfectly normal. Babies commonly have minor health problems (such as colic or jaundice) when they're very young which don't require medical attention, but sometimes they do require attention and it can be hard to tell which is which since babies only have very limited ways to express that they're suffering. A tool which provides more information to the parents (like, say, being able to see that the baby's heart rate or respiration has dramatically changed and so they might not be crying as a result of colic, but because there's something else wrong) and let's them make a more informed decision is clearly of benefit and is by no means 'validating an irrational fear'.

Of course it's a hard problem. (And I've never assumed perfect honesty on either part. It seems you just read what you wanted to read to make your point.)

What I'm claiming is that policies ARE needed, the current "hmm, what should I do now?" policy is the worst policy of them all, because improvised decisions aren't usually the best ones.

Such a policy can any policy, from "yes, we believe all women, be them malignant or not, and we'll ban you on the first offense" up to "I don't care what you people do outside of the venue, you should call the cops (here's the number) if you have a problem." It's important to know where the organizer stands to take your pick. There might even be a niche for "female-friendly conferences" that will by definition have harsher policies on the issue.
Well said.

We also have the right to make waves and be loud about the abusive, monopolistic behavior of Microsoft and Apple. http://jailbreakingisnotacrime.org

In this sense the political fight is for our freedom, not a restriction of their sales. If they do sell crippled devices, we'll just do everything we can to make that crippling public, including jailbreaking the devices to show that the emperor(s) have no clothes: DRM is a logical impossibility except through security by obscurity which is no security at all when the person trying to get in (jailbreak the device) has complete physical control over it.

Yes the app store limits improves security - compared to randomly clicked email attachments in windows.

But as the recent flame worm, signed by a microsoft trusted certificate (http://isc.sans.edu/diary.html?storyid=13366) shows central security systems aren't automatically foolproof - and if you are prevented from having any sort of local control or anti-virus by that same central security system, you can be up a certain creek with a certain paddle
There is a huge difference between designing the experience (UX) and the designing the interface (UI). I don't know if you got them mixed up, but I don't think the title suggests doing the interface design first, but the experience.

This can be done in writing on a piece of paper.
Two former cofounders with a combined 1% of equity should not have any effect on the future of the company. Even if it did have some minor impact, those shareholders earned and deserve their shares. Companies regularly give shares to advisors, board members, employees, friends, landlords, etc...

I could be off a bit, but I don't think "extra" shareholders become an issue unless their stake is large (>5%) or there are a large number. Regardless, two minor former cofounders hardly seems a significant burden, and eliminating their stake for minor convenience is suspect.

If this was the justification used by the continuing founders, they were either ignorant or taking advantage of their former partners' ignorance.

> I wouldn't be suprised if the current CEO were to pay them on the backend regardless of his dance.

I wouldn't count on it. This is not generally human nature, nor is it compatible with the behavior reflected in this article.
As the Anton of Ariel and Anton in this post, the logic behind returning the shares is based on the fact that the business should really have been restarted with a fresh cap table rather than keeping the old cap table in tact. The old cap table was maintained for reasons of convenience, and given that the company has a completely different product, focus, code-base, team, etc etc, I only have shares in this company on the basis of the poor decision to not launch a new company.

Also - Paul and Tal are awesome guys who have been hard at work for 4 years without any input from me. I think Ecquire will be a great success, and the divestment of my shares has nothing to do with my perception of the company's potential.
I don't think a policy is just about codifying respect. It's also about putting together a mechanism for handling the inevitable failures. Consider the model policy from the Ada Initiative:

A good chunk of that is about how the working-to-fix part works. I think that's really valuable to have thought through in advance. I have banned people before (never for this, thank goodness) and in the moment it's incredibly hard to avoid over- or under-reacting if you have to think everything through from first principles.

Apple bans Linux/Android Dual-Booting on iPad Devices
That's a headline you are never going to see. Well, OK, you just saw it.

Of course, this is factually correct. You can't dual-book an iPad. And, nobody is up in arms about it at all. Why is it, then, that when Microsoft chooses to exercise control over their sandbox the tech community is up in arms about it?

To be clear, I am neither an Apple nor Microsoft fan-boy. There are things I like and dislike about both companies and their products. And, when applicable, I do prefer open to closed, in almost every sense of the terms.

From that neutral stance I just don't get the criticism of MS for daring to nail their systems shut to other OS's. Apple does it. Why can't MS?

Are you sure you're not describing cross-platform with Windows Phone instead of Windows 8?

I thought for Windows 8, Microsoft is pushing WinRT as the cross-platform solution, and that "binaries" crossing from x86/x64 to arm will work as-is for javascript, as-is (if pure) for CLR, and with no modifications but requiring recompilation for native (C/C++) WinRT apps.
If where you're working has a big company mentality, someone in the decision making process screwed the pooch when they decided on JavaScript as an application programming language.
Good questions, and no. Anecdotally, talking to other Grails developers - ones who have switched from Java - they all acknowledge that they write fewer - often far fewer - lines of code.

I agree on the point that people may just be bad estimators, but I was assuming at least some of them have done approximate LOC counts on their own code from time to time to get estimates. I do.
Cool, that's awesome that backbone.js is building such a strong group of developers!

Interesting to me that you both don't really seem to love Pocket - you're just happy it almost does what Instapaper does, for free.

What's interesting about it, is the things people will decide to go without, due to something being free - when really the price difference of Free or $5 is fairly negligible.

( I don't use either service... merely an observation )
I'm more than a little confused by your comment. In several areas either you or Thiel (I'm not familiar with his thinking enough to know which) are completely disregarding some very basic economics...

It seems to me that the industries most kinds of 99% businesses enter is zero-sum

Um, no. Nothing in the economy is zero sum. Wealth is constantly being created and transferred. I think you are confusing this with the idea of a mature-market at an industry level, but those markets are almost non-existent because they destroy themselves like anti-matter.

Unless the market these businesses are in grows, any successfully-started new business only increases competition for the others.

Well, for one thing, if the market isn't growing we are in a recession, and recessions simply aren't permanent states. Recessions destroy themselves, because they are simply forced efficiency finders. Secondly, increasing competition increases pressure to become more efficient and/or innovative, which in turn drives market growth. The whole idea of helping and soliciting help in business is an act of innovation.

In short, your initial point - that of a zero sum market - is flawed, and therefore all your other arguments are too.

Increasing the quantity of entrepreneurs by default increases the quality, because it increases the pressure to compete, and therefore leads to the very innovation you feel is the real solution. You are arguing against the very solution you seek.
> It sounds like the person in question had a history of

> this person to come to the conference.

Even then, it may be far from clear-cut. We don't know what those problems are. Have there been reports of harassment regarding this guy? If so, that's fairly clear-cut. But maybe this is just kind of a jerk, but hasn't done anything over the line before.

While conference organizers certainly shouldn't put their heads in the sand, realistically they're a small part of the potential solution. The community at large really has the most power here - it has many more eyes and ears than the (usually overworked) conference organizers.

I'm wondering where the rest of the community was when this harassment was going on at the bar. The victim says they were there in a group. So a whole group of conference attendees was just standing around, letting this victim be harassed?

Unlike the conference organizers, they were there. At the bar. In close proximity.
the Equal Pay Act of 1963, which made it illegal for employers to pay unequal wages to men and women who perform substantially equal work.

How does this work? Do you go to every woman in the company and tell them "Hey the new guy is a better negotiator than you were, so we're bumping up your salary in order to hire him?" Do you have to offer men similar pay to other men? What about industries where women are paid more then men on average?
Criticism is not the same as attempting to restrict Microsoft's freedom. Telling others "these guys placed an arbitrary limitation on their product to hinder competition; you should not do business with them" is the free-market way to influence a company's behavior.

This is likely true: there are a number of Instapaper similes that are available now, many gratis (if your time/screen space are free, though that is a different conversation).

I hope that we don't see a "this confirms all my suspicions about Android" type of post in the coming months. The market is nothing like it was when Instapaper first hit it big on iOS (during a period where some of the biggest yielding apps were "Where's my car" and flashlight type products).
You make good points, and I do agree that multi-platform applications require a general enough server-side interface for many different types of clients.

However, you're still going to initially design your application based on a single interface, whether that be an iphone, browser, or tablet. While the implementations will differ, the UX between all the clients should be consistent.

In the article, I put UI ahead of CRUD because I believe the UI is closer to the UX and better helps you achieve your UX. And by UI, I mean a very very simple user interface. Hold back your creative artsy mind and just make sure you have the actions on the page.

thanks for the comment.

I don't have a problem with most of that explanation, but am somewhat skeptical of the last point. I don't think there is necessarily a linear relationship between quantity and quality that holds in all market regimes, across the whole range of possible states. Dynamical systems (such as markets) often have tipping points where things get wonky, so it'd at least require some empirical evidence that that isn't the case.

>"Because they did it correctly."

Huh? They split up equity in a non-existent business that ended upcoming back to bite them on what amounts to a completely different project that the other co-founders did not participate in whatsoever. It was only through the honesty of these other co-founders that they were able to steer away from real trouble. Those co-founders could have given up nothing had they so chosen.

That's the correct way to do things? Looks to me like this is a lesson in the exact wrong way to do it.

We have laws in this country to prevent people from getting screwed. Work with people you like and trust, and focus on building a product, not on what your "stake" is.
agree its just I'm invested in Spool and Pocket and provides better functionality. I see no reason to switch at this point.

The problem is that the cost of generating and distributing that local news is not sustainable in the face of internet technologies.

Witness this: I'm at a graduation celebration in Wisconsin this weekend, and all the parents attending throughout the day are very involved in student athletics. One of the kids was running in a track competition out of town with the rest of the school. The results were texted immediately throughout this small town. Another parent was tweeting the play by play of the track meet.

These are tech savvy 40 year olds, completely bypassing the print world. What can print offer them? Maybe a pic or two? They've got those instantly via FB. If this crowd is doing it, it's over for print papers.

And since online papers either need a paywall or higher revenue for ads, they just can't compete.

If you increase the length of a hackathon (from 1 day to 2, or 2 to 3) then you'll just increase the expected output, people likely won't take it easier.
Keep in mind that there's a cognitive cost to evaluating alternate services, too. If Pocket works for you, and trying out InstaPaper costs you an hour and $5, the $5 are negligible. The hour isn't.

That's IMHO the big problem with all app market places - there's a glut of solutions for every problem. Nobody can be reasonably expected to sift through this, and so we end up with lots of small apps.

Corollary to that: By now, it's almost a waste of time to develop an app in a segment where a cheap clone can be knocked off in a few weekends.
> Cloud Foundry is really not at the point where it can replace Heroku.

I'm curious what Heroku still does that CF can't.

As another person who is building infrastructure on Cloud Foundry like Lucas, I am biased, and don't quite agree with you.

I think from a user perspective, you can do as much with CF as Heroku.

Architecture wise, you can't compare CF to Heroku because its closed source. Heroku could be even more overblown and complex than CF for all you know. And even then, a PaaS by nature is sort of complex.

Administration wise, CF still has a ways to go. It isn't the easiest to deploy and manage, docs need work, etc. But that isn't something that is user facing or comparable to Heroku.
well, all those $5s add up when you buy enough apps, and that's the whole economics of the app market. you spend small amounts on enough apps, and you won't even realize how much you have spent compared to one time payment to all apps as a bundle.

Also I never understood the appeal of instapaper, what exactly does it do better than pocket? I never used instapaper, so any answer would be appreciated.

Peace of mind is most often effected by turning the mind from obsessive loops. Selling expensive gadgets to nervous parents is way too tempting a profit center to be responsibly marketed.
