Author fails to mention:

1. That "capitalism" does not produce anything. It is people who produce for each other.

2. Who to decide what's needed for particular human's flourishing?

3. Who to decide how exactly, at what costs "schools should aim to produce self-determining agents"?

Capitalism is defined by property ownership, it does not have any inherent rules how to profit. And profits, after all, are not monetary, but subjective. You are earning money being software developer, not carpenter because probably it fulfills your life better this way, with lesser regard of the amount earned.

Truth is nobody can authoritatively answer what is good for other people. But if everybody respects each other's property, it is possible to see how for each pair of exchanging persons both parties profit. Even "useless" speculators are doing social good by equalizing prices making calculations and predictions easier (unless they participate in Fed's money printing, which is not a feature of capitalism, but simple robbery).
And it's not just about devices themselves, it's about being alert. Other rules also require to have the window shades up so you can see what is happening overwing when taking off or landing, for example.

Having a phone on, or let's say, an iPod, won't disturb at all the electronic systems on board of the airplane. Maybe if you're flying a small airplane you'll have a phone doing weird stuff to your headset as someone said below (my personal experience is that it only happens when the phone starts transmitting with more power after you lose cell coverage). Or perhaps if it's a very old plane. But not a really big deal.

But when accidents do happen, you'd better be ready, and one of the reasons the FAA hasn't removed this rule yet, is that it forces most users to actually mind about what's happening (during t/o and landing) instead of being looking at their phones or listening to music. In case of an accident, or if an evacuation takes place, everything would happen in under two minutes and it is usually a good thing to have people see by themselves what's happening and ready to listen for instructions (and not disorientated).

Of course your plane won't crash if you're playing Angry Birds during landing. It's just not a good idea to do it.
I love the ability to notify people that if they reduce the email length I am more likely to respond quickly. Awesome work. Keep coding.
If you don't like callbacks, you can wait until generators become available or use the likes of fibers today.

I've implemented a number of synchronous CommonJS specs on top of Node using fibers (https://github.com/olegp/common-node), which allows me to use libraries written for RingoJS (e.g. https://github.com/olegp/stick) with Node.

All in all I'm very happy with the stack I've built - I get the performance and low memory usage of Node combined with the ease of development of RingoJS.
This probably sounds negative but isn't this just adding needless complexity to something that's simple? I've tried rules in mail clients before, but in the end the best filter is myself scanning the from and subject columns.
Instead of building EM detectors into the plane, they've shielded the plane! (New aircraft have shielded circuitry)

A much smarter way to do things. Who could've known.

He was obviously heavily influential.

One of the jurors, Ilagan says:

"Apple said they owned patents, but we were debating about the prior art. Hogan was jury foreman. He had experience. He owned patents himself…so he took us through his experience. After that it was easier."
>Now, if they can figure out how a boy band that started out with a following of veritable teenyboppers wound up receiving near-universal adoration, I'll be really impressed.

Ah, they did figure it out a long time ago - Beatles were writing a good music.
Is there any intention to add machine learning to the system so it can realise I never read email from particular people, but that something from a particular user I'm all over it?
You may not be able to "win them all", but you can certainly piss off everyone by making a stupid decision.

If an iPad user asks for a mobile version of a site, I would assume it would be so that they can view it on a smartphone not on an iPad.

Personally I wish people would get over this fetish for making the tablet version different to the desktop version.
If it doesn't work on the tablet you'd be better off fixing your desktop version.
> but is it grounds for an appeal

It sounds like one of the few angles that possibly could be used as grounds for an appeal. Clearly the jury did not execute their duties correctly in this case and it's been fascinating and quite surprising how openly and freely they have revealed their own willful ignorance. But that ignorance is the product of three things: Samsung's failure to educate them, Apple's failure to educate them, and the judge's failure to instruct them well enough. Samsung and Apple's failure's are clearly not going to be grounds for an appeal ("Your honor, we need an appeal because our lawyers are incompetent!"). The only thing left is if Samsung could show that that Judge Koh did an unusually bad job in instructing the jury. If she instructed them just fine and they still completely ignored her - then I don't see how this will be useful in getting an appeal.

I'm hopeful that Judge Koh will be embarrassed enough by the outcome that she'll dramatically reduce damages or even facilitate the process of an appeal herself. It's pretty clear something has gone wrong here, and if I was a prominent judge I would not want my name attached to it in the history books.
Those wanting to succeed with node.js should listen more closely to the parent post. IcedCoffeeScript promises, "Say goodbye to callback pyramids; say adios to massive code rewrites when synchronization requirements change slightly. Say hello to clean, readable, maintainable control flow for network and asynchronous operations!" (http://maxtaco.github.com/coffee-script/)

Personally though, I haven't yet tried/loadtested it, so can't speak to its effectiveness.

In any case, simply using plain CoffeeScript + async + underscore, will greatly cut down on node.js's complexity. Sure, you still have some async callbacks when doing I/O like calling some service, but it's much less awful.

(I haven't yet evaluated ClojureScript.)
>Now, if they can figure out how a boy band that started out with a following of veritable teenyboppers wound up receiving near-universal adoration, I'll be really impressed.

Or you could, you know, buy one of the tens of books in the history of the Beatles, the sixties music scene, and their contribution to it. Or ask any musician you consider serious (a jazz guy perhaps?) for the importance of their music.

>This is a sincere request: can someone tell me why I should care about this?

It's a social bookmarking site. The other users cared enough about this to have it upvoted. You do not "have to" care about it. That's not how social bookmarking works.

>If the homeless guy on the corner–sorry, make that two homeless guys, with one on the piano to get that extra bit of dissonance–had been first to play this as people walked by, I can't imagine it would have amounted in much interest, appreciation, acclaim.

If those homeless guys managed afterwards to write several fabulous records and have a big cultural influence on a whole era, then people would be interested in that initial sound too.

In the way people are interested in anecdotes from the early UNIX days of which they could not care less if they happened to some random programmer in the 90s.
I'd guess, if they know (and mention) Moore's second law, you are almost guaranteed a good article.
Stanford University: Are people who work from home more productive?
I usually start a web project by doing fairly complete mockups using Balsamiq. From this I can work out what the DB data model should be. Then I build screen by screen.
so it should be easier to use javascript on server side, no?
This may be overkill for some people, but if everyone could just easily scan from and subject columns then there wouldn't be a global email epidemic that lots of people are trying to solve. Tray is trying to allow you to define how you use your inbox, rather than assuming that your like the next 100 people...
Hotel receptionists in Vegas, obviously.

Fun fact: At Google, they have (or used to have) a page with advice for employees who are new to the US, where they tell you about things like getting a SSN, buying a car etc. One of the advice items is: If you get pulled over, do not attempt to bribe the police officer. If you try, you will be in real trouble.

Whoever thinks that the US is anything like the countries where you need to bribe people, is very disconnected from reality.
Are you guys as turned on by this question as I am?
yes, there is going to be machine learning and analytics processing.. Eventually rules would be suggested to you, and some rules would take advantage of all the information that has been learned about your account

Quote of the year!
But you already monetized the visits, right? You should build on that.

I don't think 20,000 likes are that much to build something on.
In my (limited, i'm only around 40 years on this planet) experience it's far from simple for people who don't want to know/learn. But I learned from my 94 year old grandfather who was not intelligent as in IQ but who knew how 'life' works and what is important and what not. People who know 'better' do usually (again, personal experience; it's easy to spot the sour people at a party) not achieve this happiness. It's quite easy for most people who just listen to older people.

The people who are truly not happy who I know personally almost all (2 exceptions) have a hangup about money; they want money to buy stuff. What stuff is unclear; once they get stuff (over the years), they usually don't do anything with it. Or if they do it didn't turn out the magic bullet they thought it was, which is of course the reason people don't buy it in the first place. It's like the 4 hour work week book; you can have your dream X TODAY but a lot of people will not do that because when they finally do their dream X it's very disappointing. And you didn't gain much happiness from it in the end.

The happiest people I know, who, I would say, scored a 10/10, are people who do not reason about their existence AND do what they like most all the time. My neighbor (who is a small goat herder) is 24/7 happy; I have only one creature who seems to have the same happiness and that's my little dog (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6134596/Screenshots/y835c9xw_lg~.png). I don't think people who meta-live in any way can do a 10/10 or would they want to; I think a part of happiness is misery but I don't know exactly how that works yet. Might be my Calvanistic-ish upbringing though. People (I like to think i'm one of them) who do 9/10 on the scale, in my experience, do what they like and work only as their hobby, never for money(I know at least 2 people who rather live under a bridge than do something which is not their passion, and they both have in the past, but now they are doing well). I have no exceptions in my circles to this. Again; might be who I attract or not.

I think if you accept 'how it works' from people who actually are what you want to be (and no, that doesn't mean millionaires in my eyes as that's the biggest let down on earth if it takes you, as it usually does, a lot of time to achieve and it's really not very interesting; it's nice, but not for the reasons you might think and I don't have anything I wouldn't be able to 'do' which contribute to my happiness level).

Also, to me, not native EN speaker, enjoyment != happiness. Enjoyment, if you would want it 24/7, is a heroine drip. If you manage to make it so you cannot meta-live then maybe that means happiness as well (I never tried), but if you have 1 moment to contemplate, your happiness is gone.
Except electronics aren't the only means of distraction, and not all electronic devices are especially distracting.

You can be asleep (I tend to fall asleep before takeoff). You can drink quite a bit of alcohol in the airport and on the plane. You can take a Xanax. You can be deeply into a sudoku puzzle, a book, or a conversation. You can even wear earplugs and an eye mask!

I'm pretty sure my attentions can turn to the emergency at-hand just as quickly if I'm playing Angry Birds or I'm reading a magazine.
The entire post was an opinionated piece of crap based on the author's opinion that anything to do with callbacks are evil.

I couldn't help but see in the comments that the author states that avoiding callback hell in node.js is somehow different to using the same javascript design patterns in browser side javascript to avoid callback hell. What's the difference?

The author's problem is he doesn't understand JavaScript, so he never had a chance at properly understanding Node.Js and where it's strengths and weaknesses are let alone how to build something in such a way to ease developer pains associated with learning any new language.
Because when writing client side js, you don't have a choice.

On the server, you can do whatever you want, and you're free to choose something better.

That would be threads.

Yet you're still allowed to read a big old heavy book (which can easily become FOD itself), or sleep through take off and landing. People aren't alert during those activities.
Glad to hear that you're committing to learn programming. Do you have a specific app/project to pursue in mind? I raise this because when I first started programming, what really hammered the lessons in was actually trying to build a non-trivial application (which in my case was an invoicing app that I hoped a local business would buy). Books and tutorials are useful to learn how independent simple pieces fit together but the lessons will not sink in until you actually try to use the concepts you learn to solve problems beyond textbook-like exercises.

Also, having a specific project in mind while learning will force you to actively think of ways how a certain concept/construct might be useful. Good luck!
i may be living in the past, but rounds/syndicates are held together by the glue of price and terms. when you don't have that, there is no round. just a bunch of investors, like you have in the public markets. you might want the private markets to behave like the public markets. but be careful what you wish for.
Node has multi-core via message passing. Erlang has... multi-core via message passing. Now there are other differences in their concurrency models, but they're not worlds apart, and the idea at node does not scale beyond one core is false (see the Cluster module).
Interesting. I'd love if this integrated with SpringPad (which I prefer over Evernote), either by formatting for their e-mails or preferably through their API. IFTTT does neither.

If this allowed anonymous analytics in order to discover and suggest useful rules, either at the personal level or in aggregate over all users, that would be awesome. Likewise if you can publish, clone and fork useful rules then modify them for one's account. The less a user has to come up with their own rules, the better.

And there are things that IFTTT doesn't do for e-mail that this might do. And there are API's that IFTTT doesn't support (the big one for me is springpad).

As for time sensitive, this could potentially learn what you respond to immediately upon viewing, and what you wait on or don't view, (and even analyze that as a function of day, time, sender, etc.) If it had permissions to analyze e-mail texts and had enough users, it could use machine learning to learn what phrases were likely to prompt immediate action, IE "By tomorrow morning" vs. "By Tuesday morning" on a Wednesday.

As for non Oauth accounts, A browser plugin that stored your credentials locally could still be possible. I seem to recall reading about somebody working on a clever way to do this involving passing session information using a proxy and encryption or something like that, but my memory isn't great.

All in all, I wish them luck.
I agree, I find there can be quite a lot of groupthink on SO in that kind of way. For example, the top answer to most questions about any kind of optimisation ends up being some patronising thing about "you should profile and only optimise once you know it's a problem". Well, I wouldn't be asking for advice on a web forum unless I knew it was a problem - just answer the question, please!
What is your definition of fast?

Javascript performance has come a long way since the days of IE6.

Saying that node.js is more difficult to work with than Python is just a matter of perspective isn't it?

Like any technology, in the hands of individuals that know what they are doing it is really not any more difficult than anything else.

For me personally, the fragmented Python community was what scared me to Node.Js in the first place. This was year's ago now, so perhaps Python has gotten better at that, but from a getting started point of view Node.js was and still is pretty easy, at the time the only thing that compared in Python in terms of ease of use was CherryPy, but It was not stable enough at the time for me to feel comfortable staying with Python for the one library that was not production ready.
you can put those investors on your advisory board and give them some options, explicitly recognizing them as valuable. this makes your round a lot less complicated and also allows you to be more concrete that you expect certain investors to give you value back

I keep thinking about this quote:

"That’s how you’re paying for school? Student loan scams?"

"Student loans are already a scam. Impossible interest rates, exponential debt, easy access. It’s a bubble; I’m in it 'till it pops."

Ten years ago I thought this way. Now I don't.

I've seen too many successful teams work otherwise to think that way any more.

In my experience designers getting the design "right" before handing it over to developers is often just as wasteful, and goes wrong nearly as much, as the developers kicking off at the start and expecting the designers to "make it nice" afterwards.

Business folk, developers and designers need to work together right from the start. Figuring out the best ways to validate the assumptions that we're making so that we can be sure together that we're building the right product. Sometimes that's user research, sometimes that's validating business models, sometimes that's building stuff.

That depends on what 'hard' means; it's hard to take the step, not to actually do it. People are very scared and security seeking. I don't like the ex CEO of godaddy much, but 'security is for corpses' is definitely something he was right about. When you are born, you are almost dead. There is no reason to be so careful; I mean, don't drunk-drive or inject yourself with random stuff to get a maybe-high, but doing only stuff you like? Whats the harm in that? You're going to die if there is a mistake? No, you'll have a maybe temporary hard time. At least you did what you like. It's incredible what small amount of people actually do this. Most people agree with this though but they don't do because of BUNCH_OF_SECURITY_EXCUSES.

Edit: I seem to have remembered the phrase from Bob Parsons incorrectly. It's "Security is for cadavers." (http://www.bobparsons.me/bp_16_rules.php). I hoped that it actually was from someone else :)
I agree with most of this well-written post. However, I think this deserves consideration: some percentage of those posters are not, will not, and do not want to be developers. They may be the accountant who is the designated "IT guy" in the office because he is able to unjam the printer or the office assistant/intern who is being given the "do this miscellaneous stuff we don't understand" task and has no idea where to even begin.

It may be hard to believe in this day and age, but there are still companies out there that have no idea that they even need real technical help (and might not be able to pay for it if they did.) Some of you who have done freelance custom software development work for small/long-lived businesses trying to come into the modern world may have seen this phenomenon (I've seen it plenty of times when I freelanced regularly.) The examples used in the post may not fit this, but plenty of SO questions I've read could fit this pattern.

If we /were/ able to be truly frank about it, we would perhaps suggest that they talk to their boss about hiring a professional developer (or Sysadmin, in the case of Server Fault) to do the job that they've been unwillingly thrown into. (edit: There's perhaps a great opportunity to connect small businesses with freelance developers/custom dev shops buried in here somewhere.)
We've just added some google labels support, so we'll be able to handle this in the not to distant future. There isn't enough time in the day to code fast enough :)

A post work world exists for the majority of humans on earth. That's why we are growing much too fast; China and a lot of Asia will be unemployed in the future (Foxconn firing their employees in favor of robots will become common with robot prices falling) (not to mention the move back to to west for several branches/markets, but even without that); most people in country X (not only China) can simply do nothing more than repetitive labor and those will be done in the future. I wouldn't give that 100 years.

What 'we' (of the HN crowd) will do post-work is easy; we will make new work. That's not an option for most (I'm not sure if it's 99+% but I guess it is). Happiness in a Federation (Start Trek) utopia is not very hard to imagine for people who have hobbies and passions. With real holodecks it's probably not hard to imagine for people with less ambitions or passions, but that's so incredibly 'not here' yet...
