I'll bet you that the people you've observed live in the US, and we have really crappy beef here.
In order to provide phone-bill based billing, opposed to credit card based, Mozilla will need a large healthy margin.

Phone companies want semi-ridiculous fees which make paypal & credit card's 3% look generous. Yet I think Mozilla would be wise to leave phonebilling open as an option. Carriers demand profit and are scared of Apple making them redundant.

That 30% is thus leverage and running things close to cost at 10% would reduce Firefox OS's appeal to carriers. At the end of the day Mozilla needs to keep the carriers happy to succeed.
Seriously? Some people in this thread are dissing Fab as "Groupon for hipsters." If you don't know about Fab that's your fault.

They are on track to top $100 million in sales. Just because they're not in the valley doesn't mean you have to hate.
They might be examples research (cutting edge too) but from Bell came:

Karnaugh Maps, Transistor + MOSFET, Unix, C (this spans at least 1 to 2 years of any EE/CS curriculum). They won (at least) 2 nobel prizes in physics.

From IBM research:
LASIK, Networking, DRAM, Leo Esaki + 2 other physics nobel prizes, fractal geometry, ATM, relational databases, vacuum tubes etc.

I don't think a comparison is even possible. (Not to take a cheap shot at anyone - Google has been the single biggest contributor to the delta between my parents' and my generation - they didn't have internet + IR to answer their questions and I have used their services for a large part of my life and they are doing some sweet-sweet things all the time)

Overall, the formula seems to be the same - collect super-smart people, give them freedom and see the magic happen. From what I see, the PR boost each of those contributions brought might have resulted in a net positive (not to mention, being a potential destination for people with immense knowledge of their domains has to be a HR win).

This kind of thinking is simply not medically correct. The idea that eating a will lead to increase in b and then improve all these functions has no basis in evidence. The body is way more complex and the relationships between different proteins etc. is very complex and not well understood, yes, even despite all the work on micro-arrays and rapid DNA sequencing.

High blood cholesterol for example, has a large endogenous component, which is why statins work. It would be nice if the body was simpler and obeyed simple rules of cause and effect. But it's very complex and simple thinking like this aren't based in fact.

Trust me. I'm a doctor :-)

Compared to, let's say illegal small arms, nukes are not that common. And the catastrophic destruction that they can cause is extremely uncommon. There are only a few nuclear incidents of any kind that have caused direct human casualties. From this perspective, dismantling the whole nuclear arsenal of the USA would be a huge allocation of resources to remove a small threat.
Isn't that because our Canadian housing bubble hasn't corrected itself yet? I'm assuming that the two figures they used are denominated in the same currency, so if the housing prices across Canada decline by 13% then we'll already be equivalent in average net worth.

I don't believe 13% is far fetched. At least it's a more reasonable (i.e. less scary) scenario than some of the doomsayers calling for a bursting bubble similar to the US housing bust. This assumes that a significant portion of Canadians have their net-worth tied in real estate.
Plural of "anecdote" is not "data".

"Fruit and veggie eaters" being healthier is just as likely to be a confirmation bias on your part, that you simply not paying attention to contrary examples. But even if it was true and there was a correlation, there is another possible explanation for it:

People who are obsessed with health will do "X" and they will eat fruits and veggies, because both are believed to be good. "X" does a lot of good, while F&V does nothing at all. Since you don't pay attention to "X", not even knowing what it is, you come to conclusion that F&V are good, while in fact "X" is what decides who is healthy.

The point here is be careful with "I do have two eyes...".

> Cholesterol isn't bad, saturated fat isn't bad

The issue gets super complicated once you add chronic emotional stress. A huge problem with all these dietary disease models is they ignore cortisol and stress levels, which may ultimately turn out to be the single-most important variable.

In short, the original findings to do with fat intake -> cholesterol -> atherosclerosis weren't outright invalid. It's just that in healthy, unstressed people the final link to atherosclerosis doesn't actually happen, even in old age. But the situation in the industrialized world is massive numbers of people living in chronic stress, so who knows. Turns out chronically elevated cortisol levels produces the arterial damage that make "bad" cholesterol a problem at all.

The vandalism by the local chapter this year has been hilariously misguided. They destroyed a GM crop experiment that was investigating the damage GM crops do, attacked a building they thought processed cage chickens but actually cut off the supply of free range eggs and destroyed fences that were protecting reintroduced native animals from predators in protest against culling kangaroos.

Suppose the spam is specifically to get people to reason as you have you done, with the hope that it will cause a more serious leak to be overlooked?

Often, one of the best ways to hide that you've done something really bad is to let it slip that you've done something less bad, so investigators and other nosy people think they have solved the case.

This is also why, if you are using some scheme where you have an encrypted volume that is really two volumes, where one password reveals the volume that will get you sent to jail or executed, and one is the volume that is the decoy you give up after they think they have forced the password from you, you really should have something genuinely bad on the decoy. For instance have some porn that is legal but very taboo in your society, so that it makes sense for you to have protected it with strong encryption.

Learning to build a web app from scratch: Part II
Absolutely not true. The pose estimator linked to in CVPR (Shotton et. al) shipped with the Kinect. I don't know more examples from that list in particular but there are two other examples of academia + research labs producing solid world-class products:

SLAM : A model checker for drivers written for Windows.
Cilk : Out of MIT acquired by Intel.
UT austin + CMU were responsible for HW model checking (see FDiv bug)

I find it very hard to believe that none of these papers will be used by anyone ever in a decade or two from now.
Guys, please notice that I said that "a diet with a good amount of cholesterol is a necessary condition to achieve good levels of Testosterone." I did not say that it is a sufficient condition.

In other words, good cholesterol intake + "other things" (such as resistance training) = good total Testosterone levels. Sub-optimal cholesterol intake + "other things" != good total T levels.

As a guy in tech, I agree wholeheartedly with everything Dave has said, and was surprised he said it in an actually non-offensive way, given his typical writing style..

However, something I took away from this that really surprised me was how little money Dave started with and how little he still has. Don't get me wrong, I would kill to have $300k in the bank, much less $600k+, but I've always assumed that angel investing (despite the small investments) was a game for the incredibly wealthy and I wouldn't be able to invest until I was in my 30's and had exited with more than a few million in the bank. When he points out that anyone with more than $10k lying around can be the next big angel investor, it really jumped out at me. I've never considered investing $5k or so into something I really believe in when $5k-$10k is all I have saved up... However, as he said, it would be hard not to get my money's worth by investing in startups. I'm glad he conveyed how easy it is to become an angel because otherwise I would have never considered it until I had plenty of "fuck you" money.

I've always hated the "XX million copies sold" or "Fastest-selling Windows OS ever."

Windows sales are proportional to PC sales. New Windows OSes come out every 4 years. Assume the GDP increases 2% or 3% per year in that time, and PC shipments increase proportionally (heck, the population of the Earth grows that much).

Every 4 years you can automatically announce "This is the best selling OS ever, ~10% more shipments per month than the one we released 4 years ago".

Here's the press release for Windows Vista:

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/news/features/2007/mar07/03-2...

"REDMOND, Wash., March 26, 2007 — Initial sales figures from Microsoft show its new operating system Windows Vista made a splash in its debut. In the first month of Windows Vista’s general availability, sales exceeded 20 million licenses, more than doubling the initial pace of sales for its predecessor, Windows XP. These initial figures reflect the broad interest in the security and usability enhancements in Windows Vista."

As expected, Vista smashes sales records compared to XP [GDP growth + 6 years of pent-up demand?]. Was Vista a more successful OS?

Before you make such demands, it is not perhaps a good idea to understand where that 30% fee goes? Hosting, distribution, payment collection etc are an important part of an app market and they aren't free.
Isn't this only an issue if your app is submitting receipt validation requests directly from the device to Apple's validation server? E.g.

device -> itunes.apple.com/verifyReceipt

I thought the best practices for receipt validation involved having your app submit the receipt to your own server first, and then performing the receipt validation with Apple on the server side. E.g.

device -> yourownserver.com -> itunes.apple.com/verifyReceipt

In which case, even if someone man-in-the-middle's apple.com on their device, it doesn't affect the receipt validation that you perform server side. Or am I misunderstanding something and the hack is occurring at a lower level than that?

Cheers Josh, hopefully she won't hate me for that feedback... Heh.
I dislike Greenpeace with a fervour shared with few other groups.

They constantly try and damage companies, which has a very real flow-on effect on peoples livelihoods. Usually their campaigns are built on a base of lies and usually over something the target company has very little control over anyway.

The damage they do to legitimate environmental concerns with their jack-assery is untold. In truth they are just a corporate machine built to collect more donations.

I go out and pick up rubbish, help monitor local wildlife and generally try and help out. This afternoon I told off a pair of kids trying to destroy a tree for kicks and made sure they didn't come back.

The only people I meet from Greenpeace are very unpleasant and a Greenpeace shirt never appears at local cleanups and volunteer days.

Chinese Traditional Ceremony Gongfu Tea- Long Pot 
The long pot, a traditional chinese featured teapot, is named by the long lenth of its spout, aslo called long spout copper pot, long spout pot, long stream pot and so on. Most of them are made of copper.

Long pot in northeast China was firstly used for drinking alcohol instead of water. Due to the cold weather, people often gathered together around a bonfire and drank wine for warm. When pouring liquor for a person two seats or more away from you, it was more convenient to use a long spout pot as there was no need to stand up or to step aside for making space to pour liquor.

Cloud Computing | Windows 7,Cloud Computing - Part 2
Cloud computing describes the approach, abstracted IT infrastructures (computing capacity, data storage, network capacity, or even finished software) dynamically adapted to the needs of a network to provide. From the user point of view, provided abstracted IT infrastructure seems distant and obscure, hidden in a “cloud” to happen. Supply and utilization of these services take place exclusively via defined technical interfaces and protocols . The range of cloud computing as part of services offered covers the complete spectrum of information technology and includes, among other things, infrastructure (such as processing power, disk space), platforms and software.
Hopefully we will start to see some other providers offer SSD-backed storage since Amazon does it now. It would be nice if they offered it on some smaller instances too though.
How about we all just eat real food? Stay in the perimeter of the super market -- with the exception of some canned fish -- and you should be okay. You can't go wrong with fruit, vegetables, meat, seafood, tubers, nuts, and seeds. As for wheat...come on, don't kid yourself. A refined white powder that is highly processed is not real food. Drink water, exercise a few times a week, and get some sun. If nothing else, living this way will make you healthier than most Americans.

Nothing. There's also nothing to stop you from having a $30k income, and taking out a $130k unsecured loan, with a consequential $0 net worth (EG: $130k now n the bank and a $130k loan balance).... and going to Las Vegas and putting all $130k on a single spin of the roulette wheel-- or a weekends worth if they won't' let you bet that much.

You can blow all that money gambling if you want, but you can't invest it in startups. (At least not as an accredited investor... and places like angel list will only deal with accredited investors.)

HP Touchsmart tm2 here, and not everything works well. It has hybrid graphics (Intel chip for low power, and ATI for more graphically hungry applications) and Ubuntu 12.04 still cannot make any use of the ATI card. Worse, the ATI card is powered together with the Intel GPU at start, making the battery run out very fast and the laptop overheat.

This can be fixed with vga switcheroo, but it's really not an optimal solution. Net, avoid hybrid graphics laptops, usually they don't work well with Linux.
