The contract Object.hashCode() does not require a stable results between processes; it _only_ requires a stable result during a single run of an application.

So if you need a stable distributed hash, the article recommends using a different method than Object.hashCode(), for instance DistributedObject.stableHash(). Using Object.hashCode() can bite you since not all implementations will have stable over multiple runs.

> Shit website, shit marketing, and shit video aside, I'm seriously intrigued

Given the last statement, it appears the marketing has done something right. It is a 'coming soon' product. All it is a tab running windows 8 so making someone seriously intrigued is a marketing win. At this point they don't want to give you all the facts to make your purchase decision. They want to build interest and excitement.

Personally I think they will have messed up if this is not for sale very soon as interest and excitement are quickly lost.

It seems like getting a wide enough adoption to make this useful would be really tough, since as soon as you started to get traction (if at all) you'd get bought by someone who was scared of you or a more established player would break into the space. Further, inventory and sales systems are long established and are big investments for a lot of places, so kind of tough to upend. As many have said, widespread retail adoption would be unlikely.

The meat of the concept is fantastic, but why not come at it from the consumer side of things. Try to figure out a way to take transaction information (like, from a receipt) and upload it at the point of sale. You'd get a live data stream of what was being bought, where, and for how much. You could entice consumers to use the product by providing them with mint-like app for day to day purchases. You wouldn't have inventory for individual stores per se, but you could make a lot of inferences.

Is This the Solution for How to Deal With Erroneous Tweets?
Lots of good thoughts here. Thanks for sharing.

I like your example of art as naming the unnamed. It's similar to Paul Klee's "art does not reproduce the visible, it makes visible".

I don't think rational/irrational are two separate realms. Personally I believe the totality of "existence" is an open system - so you seek connections of what you know with a rational mind, and you push the boundaries of what you don't know using intuition.

(And no, I'm not quoting Rumsfeld)

Do people actually use siri? The extent to which I've seen it used has been:

1) Making it say silly things about hiding dead bodies in ravines.

2) Trying to make it text things, only to give up and type the message by hand. Usually done while driving, and usually spanning the course of around a minute.

It's not even remotely close to something usable yet, at least not from what I've seen. Just look at how people use it, they don't even understand [or maybe they just don't like?] the interface for it!

Most people I see address it by name, like you would the computer on star trek. They hold down the button, and then say:

"Siri, where can I get a blah blah blah nearby?"

Which usually doesn't return a useful result. In this time I'm usually searching on google maps, and telling them the instructions before they've finished their attempt at an interaction.

You don't invoke the service by addressing it. The service was invoked by pressing the button.

Seriously I have yet to see a person who uses siri for something useful.

Most items that cost enough that one store has a $10 or more savings over another store, I'm already comparison-shopping or buying from amazon. Retailers who aren't already cutting their margins in your examples 2-3 are losing my business to the internet. Where's the value to the retailer here? If they're back to being competitive with amazon, I'm going to have the opportunity to realize it, and I'll go back to buying from them.

Also note that your store in case #3 doesn't lose the sale from their use of the app; I can see their price because I'm standing in the store, so they lose the sale whether or not they're using the app. Using the app doesn't gain them anything, so they might not use it -- but it does gain their competitor a sale, so the competitor definitely should use it.

And of course a lot of what I buy costs little enough that comparison shopping is pointless. It's $3 at Wal-Mart and $4 in the store right next to my house? The closer store might gain a sale by telling me they exist and they have the thing I want (whether or not Wal-Mart is using this app, the dollar savings isn't making the difference). So the retailer again has the chance to gain value here.

The net result here is that there is incentive for retailers, at least in some markets, to use such a system. They've already lost all the sales you worry this will make them lose, but this provides some opportunity for them to make back some sales in other circumstances. So it's a net win.

Of course, it may not be enough of a net win to make it worth the effort for either the store or me as a consumer to use. Execution matters an awful lot. But it's not unreasonable that, done right, it could provide a lot of value to customers and retailers alike.

For some reason, stuff that takes less than three years for five guys to make, is usually the stuff that gets done. If it takes only one year by one guy, it's probably done already.

7 Reasons Why Paying More May be a Good Strategy
I was skimming this article and thought that the premise was that first person shooters were switching to using the up, left, right, and down arrows instead of wasd. I felt the lede + nut graf (was there even a nut graf here?) was misleading--it was completely about the buttons, not about the identity of the gamer, the game industry, nor society in general.

I am interested in articles about female gamers and how they deal with the unpleasantness surrounding the gaming industry, but I wish that blog posts were held to a slightly higher standard--I am a fairly fast reader, and had to double back to reread large parts of the article to recalibrate as the article started talking about being directed to games with fuzzy animals and facebook games instead of shooters, when I expected the author to be complaining about the wasd keys opening different menus rather than moving around the character.

This seems to be a pretty good argument for paying for better quality journalism. I bought a copy of GQ, not exactly the highest brow magazine in the business, admittedly, and the articles weren't riveting, but it was efficient to read them, because they were written carefully and in the traditional journalistic style, with a lede, nut graf, and transitions. Furthermore, it's a magazine FOR MEN so most of the words were Anglo-Saxon and avoid the errors that Orwell rails against in "Politics and the English Language." I never felt like I was being jerked from one idea to another, and I understood the point of the article if not from the titled or the images associated with it, then at least from the first few paragraphs.

TL;DR: May there be truth in advertising, if bloggers can't write a proper lede, we will have to pay for news.

Nice strawman. As I stated, the abstract idea alone is not much value to me. iOS is much better than android for the things I do (web, text, gaming!, etc), and I have yet to see a killer feature on android as a result of this "control".

I think it's telling that you didn't point to a single app on android that adds significant value which doesn't exist on iOS because of "control".

As far as hackers go, I've been an emacs user for over a decade, I think I know something about hacker ethic. At some point in my life, probably after kids, my time became more important to me. Hacking up my own RSS reader, or maybe my own keyboard, etc is not the best use of my.

Regarding control, I have a droid x2 and I can't upgrade to android 4.0. I promise that an iPhone as old is this x2 can get the latest version of iOS

I must be missing something here, because I can't see any reason for a store to turn this down. They're getting a free inventory system, and they're being shown in local search results. The alternative is to pay for an inventory, and never have a chance to win the local search customers at all.

Sure, some customers will go to Walmart instead of a locally owned business, but how does the local business benefit from not being in the search at all?
New MacBook Pro Difficult to Fix
I don't understand the "OMG MICROSOFT MADE A TABLET IT IS CLEARLY COPYING THE IPAD" reaction Microsoft's getting here. They're absolutely ahead of the curve with the blending of mobile and desktop operating systems, something which I am extremely happy they are doing, and this is absolutely the logical design choices someone in that position would make.

Yes, it's very similar to the iPad in many ways. But other than some of the marketing, it doesn't seem to fall any closer to Apple than any of the Android tablets we've been seeing for the last year. In fact, the metro UI (extreme minimalism) is pretty drastically different from Apple's style (extreme detail). Apple phased out the bold color designs years ago. (And don't feed me the "Microsoft is just really slow at copying" nonsense - it's clearly as much an original design as any.)

A lot of the arguments against it are the sort of arguments Samsung fought against in its lawsuit with Apple. The result of that was a totally unique product, and an awful one. (http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/05/04/the-samsung-galaxy-s...)

Worlds of Ultima now free on GOG
This seems a lot like saying that my business should elect not to show up in Google search results just because we're not the #1 result (or that a product shouldn't be listed on Amazon if it's not the cheapest, etc.).

Pro: You get a free inventory system

Pro: You show up on local search results

Will some (maybe most) people go to Walmart instead? Sure, but those are people already using the app, which means that if you're not listed at all, you have absolutely zero chance of winning the business. Unless I'm missing something, this seems like a no-brainer for vendors.

Another way to look at this is: what if the business could use the inventory system for free, but opt out of showing up in the local listings. Are you saying that you think there's a vendor on this planet that would actually choose not to show up in the search results?

Answers to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1482480/xrange2100-overfl...
contain several implementations of xrange() in pure Python
If there are 4 stores in the "local search" and you search for "DVD Player" and each of the 4 stores lists "DVD Player X" and 2 have it for $100, 1 has it for $120 and 1 has it for $80, where do you go? You go to the $80.

As I explained in other comments, people currently shop based on expected value, they can't know for sure that shop x has the best pricing but they have been there before and got a good deal so they assume it will again provide them with a good deal.

If the only concern when purchasing is "which has the lowest cost?" this app would mean that EVERY user of the app can have that question answered, currently in the real world the question is "does the potential saving justify the time investment of visiting every shop and finding out their pricing"?

If there are 4 stores in the local area and you've previously bought a DVD player from store #2 for $100 and you want to buy another and you think $100 is around the best price you'll find you go to that store and purchase it; sure you didn't get the best price but was the POTENTIAL SAVING (which is entirely theoretical) worth the time investment to search out by visiting every store?

This app would create a race to the bottom, it would be worse than online for retailers because shops are quite close together, the only "cost" to the customer is the effort required to get to the cheapest store, in any mall or shopping district that's probably a very short walk. With online stores you can compete on shipping, next day vs. 7 days even though the item costs $5 more? I'll take next day, but $5 more to save me walking 20 yards? Not going to happen.

Local search would be great if you're the lowest cost retailer, otherwise it'd be a big problem.
