The tone's fine, it's not a great response to your frustrations. Carriers and phone vendors see additional support costs for no benefit. At the very least, Nexus does mean that you can get everything you need to build an image from Google directly.
The caveat there is you also have the drawbacks of google voice, most notably that MMS messages get silently dropped so neither you nor the sender know that you never received them.
There are also the privacy implications of going through google, if you care about such things.
mafro, stop adding your own spin to the post title.
Quite the opposite. It reduces the BS for me. Seeing 'FDA CFR Part 211' on a software vendor's site tells me they have spent time assessing the needs of my industry and I don't have to start from scratch. Dropbox.com doesn't need to do this. But http://www.mastercontrol.com/out_of_specification/oos_softwa... does. I care about HL7 and HIPAA when working with clients in Healthcare and need IFRS when dealing with accountant firms.

Now a lot of sites do a horrible job at this. Putting a stock photo of a nurse next to a patient does not make me feel any better. But mentioning in 'Healthcare' industry section that your data-logging software can export to a format usable by EPIC EMR makes my day. Or mentioning in the 'Process Manufacturing' industry section that the same software can import data from OHaus Defender scales makes me choose you over your competitors.

To put it simply, breaking down by industry is just organizing the list of features in a different way. If your software can do 1000 things, you don't want to put it all in one page. Listing them by software/technical taxonomy would not be useful either because then I'd have to go over all the categories to find which features apply to my project. Properly organizing them by industry shows me all the key features of the software AND the ones that best relate to my needs.

There is nothing wrong in not catering to specific industries. After all, the software should be flexible enough that anyone from aeronautics to zoology should be able to use it. But specifying that 'yes, it will work for you because X, Y, Z' where X, Y, and Z are regulations, standards, and requirements specific to my own industry, will make it an easy sell for all parties involved. And when you're talking about software starting in 5-figures, you want to make it easy for the tech guys to sell it to the management.

I would rather like to note that the noise we're now waging a "war" on was brought on by the very social media providers and advertisers now engaged in conflict over how much eyeballs on the noise should sell for.
Ambiguous because it would be different per person, and different per person over different time periods.

The thought that 40 hours is the local maxima for all persons on the planet in all jobs is frankly ridiculous. There are organisational benefits for averaging this when co-ordination is needed (ie assembly line, construction site) - but this isn't as important when so-called 'knowledge workers' are able to individually work on projects and come together at set points for the vital co-ordination.

Productivity discussions should be about flexibility and the ability for workers to set their own times (both total hours and start/finish times). Not about some type of 20th century union negotiating point.
If Microsoft Studios released the sourcecode to any modifications they used, or even just documented the setup they used for that compilefarm, I'd be grateful for the contribution. Yeah, it's not as good as opensourcing the game and porting it to linux, bsd, solaris et all.. but it's still a contribution to the community that they had no need to make.

For the record, I was a netflix subscriber and canceled a long time ago because of inaccessibility of their instant video service--If it won't run on xbmc, I'm better off getting it somewhere else like amazon Prime. I even told them as much. I still appreciate them releasing all of this stuff though.
Ten Signs a Claimed Mathematical Breakthrough is Wrong
Repeatedly used inline object literals:

Object literals are one of the best features of Javascript, learn to love them. In the example cited, you already have a function dedicated to creating this object; why would you need to further obfuscate it by delegating the actual leg work to a buzzword-filled framework (or worse, vanilla constructors)? Even for more complex examples, I find it clearer and simpler to use an extend() or clone() method than something that tries to emulate classes.

Strict equality everywhere:

You cherry-picked two simple examples, but normally it's more complex than that. Javascript has rather odd coercion, and it will bite you if you try to memorize all the cases where it's safe to use ==. It's not really that === is "strict", it's just that it generally works how == was supposed to. More importantly, though, there's never any harm in using === instead of ==, so why would you use the latter? Why is === "overkill?" Because it's one character more? I fail to see the argument for not using it, except to play the devil's advocate.

Strict coherence to a standard:

This is a fine swing to take if you're doing hobby work, in fact it's very healthy, but if you're working on any sort of larger project where you are or will be collaborating with others, it is nothing short of essential to agree on standards for everything from brace style to camel case to testing frameworks. Almost every other argument concerning style, practices, and idioms falls apart in favor of consistency.

Zynga CFO David Wehner deflects to Facebook
I read here (see below link) they are soliciting user donations in order to speed up the bug fixing of the server code... so presumably to help pay the overtime of the coders. First time I've heard that a game user has been asked to pay to fix bugs in their game. I congratulate Molyneux on his chutzpah.

"The popularity of the app has now forced Molyneux to ask for donations so that they can help improve the experience, but we’re not too certain how well this plea will be received."

Hardware and Product Design account for just 4.2% of KS projects and 21% revenue. With 75% not hitting projected ship dates it's easy to see they applied the 80/20 rule and cracked down. KS simply wasn't made for pre-orders and they don't have a system in place to track projects after funding / enforce refunds. It's just not the business they want to be in. We can understand that. We just wish they would have handled this differently but, at this point, it's water under the bridge. We believe in our product and are up for the challenge!
It's called scapegoating. All you have to do is convince the board that someone else is responsible for all the company's problems, then you not only get rid of an opponent, but make yourself look good in the process. It's a win-win for one person. :-)

Of course, this is just speculation.

I'm impressed because people have been trying to nail this problem for decades. Try convincing people that a few million automated half-ton canisters of metal going 60 miles an hour are safe. An early success will win investors or make a nice press release, but developing a rigorous, safe product of that complexity and risk is a long slog. It's got to be so well understood it's boring - then it's ready for massive public use.

Interesting. I have the 3D maps enabled in Nokia Drive, but I haven't see the 3D map data that is enabled in the WebGL version. I do live in a city where this data isn't present on their website, but if those handful of cities is the only ones they have I'm disappointed.

And you upgrade the OS on your Macbook regularly? Isn't there a lot of software that drops support for older releases (10.5, 10.6)?

Really sad to hear them closing up shop! I used Loosecubes a few times to find space at TheAlley in midtown. Perhaps they had trouble monetizing? They certainly had loyal regulars such as myself posting reviews... shocking to hear they went under.
Nice reading. The catch-22 mentioned in the article ringed a bell to me. I'm prone to analysis paralysis whenever I need to choose a name, especially if I start thinking about these kind of things. Seriously, it's been about four months since I decided to choose a new nickname on github, and so far I didn't find anything that satisfies me.

This tendency leads me to take the opposite strategy: take a word that has no special meaning (checking first that it has no bad connotations, of course), that sounds rather good and it's easy to spell. I also often wonder if taking a name that has a deep relation with your current targets won't hurt you whenever you need to pivot.

I also liked the discussion that developed on another thread about a month ago: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4684599
Molyneux has stopped delivering on his promises long, long ago. I think it was from Fable that I noticed that the most. He proposed an open world with all your choices having an impact on all characters and nature around, but it ended up simply a series of binary choices between good and evil. Hardly revolutionary.

Well I enjoyed Populous, Dungeon Keeper and Theme Park. After it all went down the drain.

Lessons from my failed startup
congrats to an awesome team!
Measured performance around 120/80.

This is the kind of thing I'd defer to Tom's Hardware or maybe Ars Technica or something for a comprehensive comparison, but I've never gone wrong in buying Sandisk products (except when in Asia, where 90% of the devices, even at "real" stores, were counterfeit with less than advertised storage capacity; I ended up having a friend buy real products from Amazon and bring them to me when she flew in).
Love this strategy. Something like this would make for a great startup, and there actually is one doing something similar in NYC called LocalResponse. Their approach is a little different in they're focused on marketing rather than customer development or conversion.
Thanks! I'm assuming you're talking about the home automation piece. We've integrated with SmartThings and Belkin's WeMo. Once you've drifted to sleep it can everything turn off and will remain off. It can also turn things back on based on your wake event which occurs during your preset "wake window". It's all fully customizable through Lumawake's free app.
Oh, I can see how this would look. That wasn't my intention, sorry!

I added the #hn in what I thought was a pre-emptive gesture in case Lumawake would have liked to submit the post as themselves with their own headline (as opposed to my own editorialized one). I did not see or test that it had already been posted.
I'm waiting to see how they can blame this on employee health insurance.

"Data Scientist" is such a weird title for somebody who is basically a statistician with good IT skills. I think in some market verticals they're simply called "Quantitative Analysts" and make very good money.

In a previous job I did lots of analysis on very large data (at the time) data volumes, millions of structured or unstructured records, homo and heterogeneous datasets. Lots of aggregation, sifting, sorting, simplifying, deduping, summarizing, etc. All in support of similar kinds of things that "Data Scientist" positions seem to be intended to support. But the output was not a statistical model, or a machine learning exercise or some other similar. It was the distillation of gigabytes of data into a handful of slides and a report. Usually with a virtuous cycle of feedback directly into software development to improve and expand the next go-around.

But almost no statistics. Very very little, and what I did was very basic stuff.

What is that kind of job called? In my day we called it a "Data Analyst" but I don't see that around much.

I'm going to make a prediction, "Data Scientist" as "Senior Statistician" is going to be short-lived. I don't think they're going to provide the value companies think they will in most cases. "Data Analyst" is much more general purpose and useful cross-domains, except most Data Analyst don't have proper statistical training.

A Data Analyst with statistical training would be a much more useful tool to an organization seeking to make sense out of large volumes of data than a Senior Statistician as they'll have a much wider variety of tools at their disposal than just looking at the world through the statistics lens.

Bonus, jobs advertising "Data Analyst" can demand things like machine learning AND entity extraction AND automatic summarization AND data sanitation AND automatic correlation analysis AND automatic colocation analysis etc.

Most of the jobs I've seen looking for Data Scientists are for companies that are probably going to try and end up using them as high-priced Data Analysts, except the job reqs are all wrong and the candidates that get hired are way over qualified.

But this role is still evolving I suppose, IBM [1] views it as an evolution from the business/data analyst. So they definitely seem to be on the side of not so much statistics and more analysis.

The danger of incurring so much sleep debt so quickly is that you will start paying compound interest on it immediately - in terms of ability to avoid accidents, struggling with mental coherence, handling relations with loved ones, out-of-it attitude, and dealing with unexpected situations gracefully.
Jeebus, what a way to turn a molehill into a mountain. @22cans:

In fact @pmolyneux BEGGED the team to go home but they wouldn't have any of it :)
https://twitter.com/22Cans/status/268387590368030721

22 Cans is a tiny startup and they were expecting 10,000 concurrent users tops -- they're at 2 million and counting now, and they have to capitalize on that momentum and not piss off their obviously fanatical players. So they pulled an all-nighter to build and migrate from a single server to a clustered architecture, and hell yeah, if I was in that position I'd do that too.

Seriously, is there another option? If you think the answer is "clock out at 5:01 PM and go home", you shouldn't be in a startup. Obviously pulling 36 hour shifts on a regular basis is not sustainable, but this is precisely the type of situation where it's warranted.

Traditionally they send people scare-letters ("pre-litigation letters")^ offering a settlement for downloading. If people decided to fight it, they usually get brought to court for downloading and "making available" (distinct from uploading). "Making available" has generally been thrown out, as the ill-defined crap that it is.

""The court agrees with the great weight of authority that section 106(3) is not violated unless the defendant has actually distributed an unauthorized copy of the work to a member of the public," wrote the judge in his order. "Merely making an unauthorized copy of a copyrighted work available to the public does not violate a copyright holder's exclusive right of distribution.""

http://news.cnet.com/8301-10784_3-9932004-7.html

So basically they sue/sued people for downloading as well as some crap they made up.

Regardless, senseless pedantry. Here is a 'fixed' statement if you are terribly bothered: "That's nothing compared to the $150,000 or whatever per song downloaded and/or 'made available' the RIAA was going for."

This is why I think every API which gives an app access to your data / identity / etc should have a way to fake it, and track whatever it does. Using a different account is sufficient, but what about when things are integrated, like system-wide Twitter or Facebook? Just give us a black-hole option for such things - return no contacts, send no messages, and let us see what it tried to do. You'll have a lot less abuse when it's easy to find.
Googles ad relevance was always in the context of searching. I.e. the user informed google about it's intent.

It's my mission right now to change something a little different about EMR design. You're looking at the output. That's wonderful and I am really happy about it. We also need to fix input.

You're looking for an output design that is effective as a physical document. Please consider a follow-up challenge for EMR input UI/UX.

I wonder how much global warming gets prevented just through everyone adopting these practices for datacenters (either directly or by switching to cloud providers with an economic incentive to do so).

Maybe a carbon tax wouldn't be so unreasonable, if it shifts more innovation like this. There's probably a "Google of Cement Production", agriculture (arguably this is Monsanto or ADM or Cargill, as much as they are reviled over IP, they are quite efficient), etc.
I assume, given the robots will run 24 hours. THe comment:
According to a translated page from the Chinese site Techweb, each robot costs between $20,000 to $25,000, which is over three times the average salary of one worker. However, amid international pressure, Foxconn continues to increase worker salaries with a 25 percent bump occurring earlier this year.

This seems like a easy choice, each robot should pay for itself in a year or so.
