For instance, you can use yellow for "warning/important" level and red for "critical" level, and lights-only for staging environment and light & sound alarm for production environment, for instance. Pretty expensive, though.
This is one of the biggest misconceptions about voting out there. The suspension of your voting rights is dependent on the state in which your felony is committed. There are only 12 states where it can be suspended for life and even then it's usually dependent on the crime (i.e. in Nebraska only those convicted of treason will lose the right for life.) Voting rights are restored in all other states under different conditions.

Some friends of mine were trying to kickstart a business with an open source Convore / Grove like service called Helm (http://www.indiegogo.com/helm). Daniel's open source work speaks for itself and I think it's an excellent idea and model.
10TB isn't a large amount of data. I have more data than that sitting in my $1500 home NAS.
I completely missed this response until now, so I'd just like to thank you for putting the time in to write this up.

I'd have $50K in my 401Ks and up to $150K in other investments.

401k is a pension-type fund, right? I'm from the UK, so not entirely sure of the terminology. What would you put the other 150k into though?

or you could use your talent to rise within the few companies which
are actually printing money, and then let your dollars work for you

Those are very wise words.
Part of this is because the federal criminal case load is so heavy that there's no use to even waste money and time taking a case to a grand jury that can't lead to an indictment.

I believe Swartz's point is that 10TB of data is not something you can build a self-perpetuating bureaucracy around, anymore, and that this implementation is, in fact, simple enough that it can be made available and maintained for a tiny fraction of the cost of JSTOR.
+1 for Hipchat. Outsourcing everything but the thing you're selling always makes sense, for productivity and security reasons, even more considering how cheap these services are nowadays and also knowing how crappy free php scripts tend to be.
As far as I can tell, you didn't provide an argument here, merely reasserted "unions in the US are a cancer".

In particular, we're looking to understand why transit construction is so much more expensive in the United States than Europe or Asia. You posit that it's due to unions. But this can't be the explanation, at least not without something more, because many of the countries with cheaper transit construction costs have stronger unions and higher levels of unionization. So your explanation doesn't have much going for it, at least as it stands. Is there some reason American unions are particularly cancerous in comparison to French, German, or Scandinavian unions, all of which are stronger than American unions? If so, what can we do to move American unions more in the direction of German unions? Perhaps strengthen labor laws and increase rates of unionization, to aim towards a more consensus-based and less adversarial framework?

If I were hazarding an explanation, however, I'd guess something to do with the U.S.'s court-based regulatory framework and federalist style of government, that dumps everything into agency decisions and lawsuits, and has that all happen at multiple levels. When Denmark approved a new Copenhagen metro line, the details were negotiated for some time (including with the unions). One the plans were agreed on, the project was wrapped into a law passed through the national parliament, which authorized the construction. It was then, by statute, definitionally legal in all aspects (unless it somehow contradicted the constitution). It was impossible to sue over the construction, because the metro-construction plan was itself written into the law, superseding any laws that might otherwise conflict. By contrast, in the U.S., new metro lines have to go through a series of agencies at many levels of government (local/regional/state/federal), and can be challenged on the basis of any number of existing laws.
I was thinking the same. Could it be to do with the lighting circuit being separate to the wall-socket circuits?
I'd just like to posit that, in the UK at least, rave and the beginnings of drum and bass were the last pre-digital youth/music based counter culture. Not that I'm trying to call him out as wrong, I wouldn't expect Gibson to be a massive rave aficionado.

I think this article also shows up something about youTube I've noticed within my social group. It's half a decade old and yet it's become pervasive and it feels almost like it's always been there. Friends have said that like me they feel like they've been using it since about the turn of the century.
Are you suggesting the case against Swartz is as serious as a burglary in Cambridge, Massachusetts? Or less serious, since he did not damage a lock or deprive the owner of the use of anything? Or is your argument that this is legitimately a high-profile federal case?
Probably not. However I think there might be more of us if more children got to play with something like lego mindstorms or MIT's scratch or some other sort of fun programming games. I'm actually looking forward to Notch's new game a lot (programmable spaceships with a simulated CPU, ram and stuff). Sounds fun (maybe not for children though).
I'd guess that initially, an ad-hoc network is created, through which the bulb can be configured with the Wi-Fi password.

In the US, unskilled labour costs are lower than in the rest of the industrialized world. Therefore there is less incentive to replace labour intensive jobs like train conductors with electronic systems that have a high initial capital cost. The Nordic countries and Japan have the most industrial robots per worker because wage costs are very high.
I think a big part of the pitch of this thing is that it's ultra-easy to install, even in places where you can't change the electrical stuff.

If the wifi stuff was in the switch, you'd have to turn off the electricity, unscrew the faceplate, unwire the current switch, take it out, wire in the new switch, fix it in place, screw on the faceplate. Then, unscrew the current bulb and screw in the LED one. And if you move, you'd have to do it all over again.

This thing, you just unscrew the current bulb and screw in the new one and you're done.

Works in a dorm, even a hotel room, too.
> And the systems currently suck.

The stuff that gets pitched to consumers for self install is pretty terrible.

When I was in high school I used to work as an electrician for a security/fire/cctv/home automation company. I remember doing a brand new summer house for a CEO of some large corp in roughly 1999-2000 time frame. Even then everything in the house was controlled via low volage relay. Outlets, lights, dimmers, curtains, everything. Each room had a iPad like touch panel on the wall that controlled the entire thing.

There are actually some really good systems out there, they just require that you considered it when you built the house to wire for it ahead of time or go through a costly retrofit. Also the 'best' systems were not that simple to setup. They weren't designed for the user to install so the configuration would often involve punching hexadecimal codes into a controller down in the basement to get the initial setup correct.

It looks like their goal is to make the entire project "electrician-free". Replacing a light switch is still intimidating for a large number of people.

From an efficiency/sustainability point of view, I have a basic discomfort with the idea of throwing away all the wifi/controller stuff each time you need a new bulb. I know LEDs don't run out very fast, but they do run out. This has cost implications too.

What about a setup where there are two levels of screw: the LED bulb screws into a fixture with the wifi stuff inside, which then screws into the light fixture? Then when the bulb goes out, you can just unscrew the LEDs without having to throw away all the other components.

Maybe there's something I'm missing though; I am by no means knowledgable about electronics.
They say they have mac/pc apps as well. I'd assume anyone on the local network could control the lights, probably with optional password protection?

SRS seems to be the right answer for increasing the long term recall of just about anything. For main points of a tech paper, you could probably use the link method to associate a strong image for each of the main points in the technical paper and then link them.

Then you could pump those images into your SRS system for review.

You can find info on the web about link methods and recall, or you can just grab Higbee's "Your Memory : How It Works and How to Improve It" from Amazon. I found old copies pretty easily in university libraries as well.
Well, you never know. If Intel continues to improve their mobile device x86 designs, they might surpass Apple and ARM's abilities some day - they do have a lot of architecture expertise and cutting-edge fab technology.

It also helps to do things in the real world. If you're spending all your time inside not moving around very much, you'll end up with that annoying situation where it's 2am, you're tired, but you can't fall asleep.

Just want to add that Anandtech has really stepped it up this year with great iPhone coverage.

That would also likely undo the color adjustment features (or make them really hard to implement). I'm probably most excited about that part if it works well.
I have the impression that some programmers would like this discipline to be exclusive to a few people, like if it was only for the elite. I don't really like this kind of spirit, I simply think some people don't see enough interest in programming.
I used to find sleeping hard. The best solution i have found so far is really simple.

-Stop thinking so much!!!

A few years ago, i asked my brother (who somehow falls asleep within 5 minutes every time) what he dreams about. He responded, saything that he does not dream! I was like, yea right. Who doesn't dream!
Then, the otherday i found this really interesting article on how to fall asleep faster. They went on to say that although there are alot of factors that affect us (light, food, water etc), the biggest reason we are not sleeping easily is because we are just thinking too much!

It's really not hard, just try not to think about anything analytical. Dream of flowers, clouds etc (don't count sheep), just don't dream of anything that makes you think.

I now see why my brother fell asleep so fast, it's because he wasn't thinking. (well, he probably was but not nearly as much as what I was).
I think it's weird that they'll gloss over CPU details, opting for "2x as fast", but then when the camera talk comes around, they go on and on about optics, filters, image processing, etc. I'm not sure why they go into so much detail on the camera details.
Their product is social video. Their biggest problem was getting people to use the product and getting them to come back, not profitability. If they had users, then they could deal with monetization in the same way youtube and vimeo and other consumer video properties monetize.

FWIW, I was a paying customer. I know others who were as well. Most everyone I know, including myself as of two weeks ago, has stopped paying for the service. It had gone downhill to the point of being unusable.

There is a demand for this type of service. Real-time chat is in extremely high demand still. Chat was the number one requested feature a "build-you-own" social network startup I worked at a handful of years ago even before Facebook added their chat.
They have most likely done many calculations that clearly say "if we lose Apple on the supply side, we lose <insert ridiculous amount of money that eclipses smartphone revenue here>."
Imho a "punk" style, anti-authority counter culture has emerged. It's called anonymous and just like punk it's a reaction to the excesses of the "establishment". Only unlike punk, instead of demonstrating membership via your hair, music and clothes, this one uses the shiboleth of computer literacy and meme awareness as the group identifiers.

And unlike punk's self destructive near impotence to do anything but rage. The modern movement actually has some tools to fight back with.

Just a head's up, this books reads more like a novel than a How-To. There are other books that are better for actually learning the memory techniques discussed in _Moonwalking_.

I don't mean to imply that _Moonwalking_ isn't worth buying; I think it's a really good book and was a very fun read, but at the same time, it was FAR less instructional than I had expected (though I did learn while reading it).

For a basic primer, I'd recommend this to get started with the memory palace technique: http://www.wikihow.com/Build-a-Memory-Palace

And for a much more comprehensive instruction, Higbee's "Your Memory and How to Train It" was the most referred to me: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001Y35JI0/ref=docs-os-doi_...

The single best thing that helps me consistently to get restful enough sleep that I wake up feeling refreshed the next day is to be OUTSIDE (not just indoors in bright light, but actually outside in daylight) doing aerobic exercise such as walking or biking somewhere where I need to be to accomplish some task. (We chose our housing location to be near a city trail so that we can walk or bike to the public library and to the bank and to much of our shopping. Our son who attends the local high school can walk or bike there too.) Generally, people who get outside (for light exposure to reset their biological clock) and exercise (for physical tiredness and mental relaxation) sleep fairly well. As DanBC correctly points out in his top-level comment, you may need medical advice for persistent insomnia, but if what he advises and what I advise here works for you, great. Good luck.

The work of these new body builders is far different from the efforts that produced artificial hearts decades ago. Those devices, which are still used temporarily by some patients awaiting transplants, are sophisticated machines, but in the end they are only that: machines.
