Being requested by name is too ego-boosting to pass up, so let me take a crack at clarifying at least one apparent confusion.

> For example, you can measure momentum, position, energy, spin etc... and each of these observables has a different corresponding mathematical operation that you perform on Ψ to get XΨ, where X is the mean value of the observable...

>The weird thing though is that what you measure isn't always exactly this value. Instead, the mean value of many measurements will be this value. You can also compute the standard deviation of these measurements using Ψ, but that's about it.

A good QM textbook will actually say something much more precise. It says that (a) the set of possible outcomes of the measurement is equal to the spectrum of the observable being measured and (b) the chance of getting a particular outcome is given by the squared inner product of the wavefunction with the appropriate eigenvalue. (The whole business of calculating means and standard deviations is confusing unless you understand that; unfortunately, this is allowed to happen often in into QM courses.) This means that QM doesn't just predict some statistical properties of the outcome distribution, it completely specifies the distribution.

Also, I figure you know this, but I want to mention that when you say

> you can plot and analyze this data, and what you'll notice for two entangled particles separated by thousands of miles or more is that there are statistical correlations between the two sets of data

it's important to emphasize that these are non-local correlations (in the Bell sense). You can generate mere local correlations using everyday classical systems.

You're too focused on Apple, and not focused on the companies defending their positions against Apple. The big threats to Hollywood are: (1) Hulu; (2) Netflix; (3) Apple.

Valuation:
(1) $1-2B
(2) $10B
(3) $6-700B > Notice the orders of magnitude.

Strategy:
(1) Hulu - kill by benign neglect (this is done)
(2) Netflix - starve of tier 1 content (this is done)
(3) Apple - keep them out of the game (this is in process)

Right now, Apple themselves are more focused on SV (google, fb). But Apple has the ability to do things (1) and (2) cannot do, <should they want to> due to size ($100B cash?).

Thus, strategies to kill (1) and (2) don't work (against apple). The best way to 'win' is to never let them into the game.

Hollywood/RIAA will use a combination of vertical-integration, regional oligopoly, and legislation to protect their cash-cow businesses, just common sense.
I'm not sure what you mean. json.stringify {2,3,5} == '[2, 3, 5]', which is correct, isn't it? (Strictly, JSON has to always have a dictionary on the outside, but it's fairly standard to allow this.)

We'll keep thinking about this, but I don't think it's sensible to try to encode {11, ["11"]=11} at all. That's neither an array nor a dictionary, and so it doesn't have a natural JSON representation. I'm inclined to make it an error, but right now we try to be generous in attempting to encode.
This is very, VERY cool... but I can't help but think that an Arduino and some color sensors might be easier. Or some small RFID stickers and basic readers as long as the stickers didn't mess with the weight/spin of the balls, since color sensors might have problems with striped balls depending on spin.

Actually, figuring out how to do this without a webcam sounds like a pretty snazzy hurricane project.

I registered as a student (via DreamSpark) for a WP7 developer account back in december 2011. My account is about to expire in a month. In the meantime I received an email (january 2012) about a DreamSpark account migration. (Which is said to make my DreamSpark account active for another 12 months) - I haven't done the migration process yet. I am curious will this let my WP7 developer account be active for another year? Or should I just create a new account taking advantage of the 8$ fee?
Great catch! This should properly be implemented using leases:

lease.acquire('count')
local count = storage.count or 0
storage.count = count + 1
lease.release('count')
return {count=count}

We skipped the lease just for simplicity's sake, but if you need that kind of protection, that's why we implemented leases.
Thanks for your assessment. I actually chose Peer 1 because of the recommendation from FogCreek and I'll still thank you even after this incident.

I think it's ironic, that Peer 1 is getting accolades from Business Insider's squarespace article, while their misinforming email has hurt my firm and the small companies that use our software.

I won't hold my breath for an apology email.
That's life in the big city.
Unfortunately, no longer that much additional judicial scrutiny. The law used to view them suspiciously, since they didn't appear to really be bona fide contracts entered into by two parties who negotiated and agreed on terms. But as Justice Scalia's majority opinion in AT&T Mobility v. Conception (2011) argues, "the times in which consumer contracts were anything other than adhesive are long past", and courts now enforce them routinely, actually even striking down state-law attempts to treat them as anything but bona-fide contracts.
> Why would banning content farms draw the eye of regulators when the content farms are gaming the search engines?

I don't think OP meant content farms. I think he meant half of the sites that have articles repeatedly appearing on HN. All those smaller and bigger "news" services that write a lot of poor, shallow, lying or just plain wrong, controversial articles. The problem is with incentives - they do it for ad money, not to inform/educate people.
All I want to know is if this means the possibility of a Tie Fighter remake from LucasArts.

So the obsession many young girls have with Disney princesses, sometimes carrying it into adulthood (that makes for some very interesting conversations), has no influence on the narrative structure those girls are using to evaluate their lives?
It's not immediately clear what this service does. Sure, I could watch the whole 5 minute video but I'd rather get an idea first :) So I wtched the first 15 seconds, which answered my first question: what kind of script? (answer: it's LUA scripts).

Other questions, what does it mean to choose a URL? Does it host a website there which runs the script? Like a subdomain? Or am I completely thinking the wrong way here?

What can I do with your service? (like 3-5 cool examples?)

BTW I don't mean to say, "meh I won't use this cause it's not instantly clear to me", it's supposed to be constructive criticism because I think making that quick elevator pitch will get you more users! :)

And that I really prefer skimming a page of text before deciding to watch a video presentation of a service.
Wow, didn't see it coming, but this old comic comes to mind:

On the scripting-side, this should create one of the bigger if not biggest Python house(s). Disney was converting to it when I left (many years ago) and ILM is a known proponent... their whole pipeline from front to back is accessible from it.

>You were repulsed by the above description of this imaginary site.

Thanks, I was not aware that I found that hypothetical sight repulsive. What I do find repulsive is the idea that I should repulsed by something which "utterly and absolutely cheapens the experience of something very important", When I am not the one who determined that the 'thing' in question is very important.

What you described in your imaginary site sounds like a product for people wishing to engage in casual sex. It provides a service to record previous partners, and presumably help find new ones. It also provides a service as a background check for partners by showing you reviews from others they were with, as well as "heads up"s. Planned support for Geotags, which seems good as sex tends to be a geographically bound activity (in-airplane geo-tags seem unnecessary though).

If I want to link the physical act of sex, which I do for physical pleasure, with the emotional experience of a strong, personal relationship, than I would probably not use a service designed around the premise that I would be having sex casually, with many partners. But why should I want to make that connection?

Heh. It took me a lot longer than Steve here to set up App Engine on my current computer, and setting up XAMPP on my last computer to run a local server took a fraction of the effort. I don't use an IDE, either; I use Notepad++ for ALL my coding, so that's another trouble I don't have in any case.

GAE may allow you to set up a server visible to the entire Internet, but I think my fonder memories will be reserved for other tools.

Entanglement is a lot more superficial / complex than that.

QM is so differnet than how we are used to dealing with things the only really useful way to understand it is the Math it's based on. But, decoherence is the hart of a lot of the spooky voodo that really trips people up so it's a much better place to start than the 'cool' vs. trying to extrapilate based on the odd stuff that goes on.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_decoherence

PS: Also, avoid thinking at the large and small scales at the same time. Sensors really are just more fields and particles just like everything else. Also, decoherence is not an all or nothing event it's more a sliding scale between wave and particle.
As someone with hundreds of 'friends', I'm curious about how you use the site differently than me. How often do you log in? Do you participate every time you log in? Do you have a group chat with all your friends?

And how weird is it to have all the activity from your friends' posts elsewhere (comments/likes on public posts) in your news feed? It would seem like if your friends did it as much as my friends do, you'd see more strangers on facebook than friends.
Hi JD

You're right on the GET requests.. :) ..

Any attacker, pentesters, worth their salt would be able to garner some good info from this.

I don't estimate it highly, you're right about that. For your specific example, consider some other factors besides the intrinsic effectiveness of ambient product placement:

(a) Coca Cola employs many thousands of marketing people who must, to justify their salary, come up with venues to feature the Coke brand.

(b) Mass marketing is notoriously terrible with metrics, so it's not an extraordinary claim to suggest that maybe Coke is investing in some marketing that doesn't much help it.

(c) Coke's business model has as much to do with its distribution system --- the fact that they can get a Coke into the hands of virtually any person on the planet in minutes --- as it does with its brand.

(d) Copyrights and trademarks mean that motion pictures need to acquire the rights to feature many (in a Spielberg film, perhaps all) of the brands shown on screen, which creates a venue in which major brands like Coke are consulted as a matter of course simply because either they or their competitors need to be shown simply to create verisimilitude.
God save the design world if an app with a spinner display for non-linear, non-rotational, non-user-controlled data and a prominent switch that maybe 5% of the users will use more than once is the future of Apple's UI.
This is a bit of an odd comparison. I don't see LucasFilm and Instagram as being even remotely similar. For example, the reason why Instagram was so valuable is because it was poised to challenge the #1 reason why people use Facebook. If a Facebook competitor had bought Instagram then they could have potentially toppled Facebook's position atop the social networking heap. This single fact made Instagram incredibly valuable. And it's not something that can be compared to the valuation for LucasFilm.
I completely agree that there's a dearth of information in this space. Unfortunately, I am in a position where I need to make licensing decisions before April, but I'm going to keep an eye on this conference and check back on it closer to the event to see what speakers have signed up to talk.

The root cause of all the symptoms that you are describing is that your client hasn't got the proper knowledge, experience and mentality to (co-)develop something innovative.

It doesn't matter that not all the properties fall in line with Fox News' agenda. That Fox News has a huge influence is undeniable, and the rest of News Corps news and pundit properties fall in line with that. The entertainment divisions simply put money in the pot.
I'd be happy if Disney released LucasArts games on some distribution platform. Being able to own those games without having to resort to torrents would be great.
Ruling out a product and dismissing it based on projected ROI is not criticism. That would be called "making a business decision," not providing constructive feedback.
Meh.

Now if they re-release the original Star Wars as it originally appeared without George Lucas' later additions, then I'll get excited.

Another issue we identified is that you can find those "hidden" admin panel or URLs that shouldn't be known to the outside, by just refreshing the page a few times and checking all requests.

It is not a best practice, but some companies do and it makes easier for those to be found.

I think the author is concerned exactly because his blog purpose is to sell ads. He even wrote it at the end of his post. I guess he just would like to sell ads using quality content - his own content - and not by aggregating tons of crap and producing even more of it. Maybe he even tries - I don't know, I didn't read anything besides this post. But the fact is that this doesn't work anymore - and that's just sad.

No. The Disney Princess "narrative" simply fits into preexisting gender norms. There was no "Disney Princess" culture in the 1950s. If you created a chart showing the trendlines of female mobilization into the workforce (and particularly the "professions") and the revenue extracted from Disney Princess offerings, you'd have a concrete reason to question the assumption you're making here.

And you think Calxeda will not have 40 bit and 64 bit chips? Of course they will. It's only 32 bit because they've used Cortex A9. Soon they'll use Cortex A15 on 40 bit. And in 2014 they'll use the 64 bit A57, just like AMD and everyone else. But Calxeda will be on generation 3 already.
Is it impossible to give people incentive to inform/educate people? I think this even worked for a short while, but I'm no expert on this matter.
These stories are perennial in the media. They are inevitably exaggerated or outright fake. Remember, their sources are kids who are bored and want to be on TV.

This is a very old text, and I believe he is not referring to function closures (as I assume that you assume) but crazy shit like the long-since-deprecated-but-still-works arguments.callee.caller.arguments

For example:

function test() { console.log(arguments.callee.caller.arguments); }
function test2(a, b) { test(); }
test2('x', 2);

Will print ['x', 2]. That is horrid; it makes it so you need to know the calling context to determine the behavior (and it could be globally anywhere; in a completely different .js file or even dynamically generated). With a closure the context of a function can generally be determined by simple static code inspection.

Michael from Braintree, here. I helped build our instant signup process.

You make an astute observation here. PayPal (and other folks who imitate their business model) have a earned a poor reputation for servicing startups whose businesses actually grow. Braintree has been winning clients away from PayPal for years on this score, and we absolutely will not embrace their model.

We are actually doing something quite different with our instant approval process. We've combined an easy signup form with years of experience and data from working with fast-growing startups. The result is truly a full underwriting process that helps us to understand your business, and can approve most merchants to accept credit cards online instantly. With an instant approval from Braintree, you will have your own merchant account and the assurance that when your startup takes-off we will be cheering for you, not witholding your funds.

It is fairly common to have vesting schedules as someone earns equity of usually 3 to 4 years. So if for example you were giving up 10% total on a 4 year vesting schedule, each year would earn 2.5% of the 10%. Some of these can also be met with milestones.

More and more of CouchDB gets converted from Erlang to C++ every year since its creation.

The core runtime and data structures are in C++. At this point, Erlang is mostly the negotiator between the nodes.

This schism in implementation is partly why I hated CouchDB back in the day. That and the fact that it's a data Roach Motel.
