Let's argue based on aggregate statistics instead of individual situations. I don't see why otherwise rational/scientific people feel the need to debase themselves by talking about edge-case individual examples when it comes to things like this.
Not sure if you got what I'm saying...in case I didn't explain it clearly enough: Bell's inequalities show that quantum randomness CANNOT be explained by an underlying deterministic law of physics that we're ignoring. With ordinary probability you can never find out whether it's truly random or whether there is some underlying deterministic process that you just don't have knowledge about. Turns out with quantum mechanics, which works with probability amplitudes instead of just probabilities, you can rule out such an underlying deterministic process (again modulo technicalities). This is one of the most striking results of physics, and Einstein himself didn't believe it at first.
Due to faster download times it can apparently actually _boost_ battery life in some web surfing scenarios.

Not that it matters if your network has no LTE.
Very interesting, I wonder what happened to cause this and if it's wordld wide
That's not really impressive, considering it was designed for computers from 15 years ago. I'd be pretty surprised if it weren't snappy.

Still a nice environment though, and ridiculously customizable.
Wow, thanks a lot! I'm happy that DrawChat is helping app creators think about getting adoption right.
My theory is MIT has really good PR (in addition to a lot of really smart people). Over many years I've noticed when research comes out of MIT headlines almost always state "MIT does X". I haven't noticed this pattern as much with other Universities.

Here's a test, go to google news, and search for '<university> researchers' and look for articles about research results/breakthroughs from that University. I tried it with MIT and Harvard, here are the top three results about research for each:

* MIT figures out how to power tiny devices with... the ear

* MIT Breakthrough Could Lead To New Military Body Armor Only...

* New MIT Method Could Help Communities Plan For Climate Risk

and for Harvard:

* Tiny, Artificial Lung On Microchip Used To Test Drugs

* Harvard Research Finds New Ways to Change Coating Colors

* Bio-battery could power medical implants
Isn't there some Senator, who was trying to suggest that raped women could not get pregnant as the female body rejected rapist's sperm, and there for abortion for rape victims was not necessary? I'm sure that, if I have the assertion correct, is not scientifically correct. That would there for be a scientifically untenable position.

In theory, I absolutely agree; however, in reality I disagree unless you can show some data that indicates money being spent this way is more ethical than inhibition. Considering the competition for apparel, ample supply of workers, and what actually goes on in factories, if I have the option I will buy from a place that is more likely to uphold human rights.

If you would like a glimpse into my position and haven't already watched the PBS documentary China Blue, I recommend it.

Call me stupid. But I think Apple probably 'sees' what Google is doing.

And I really don't think they could care less. Apple has never been about competing on market share. They care about profit. And I personally this strategy by Google may be great in the short term it has the potentially to really harm the platform in the long term. Because what it has done is set a price point that transfers margins from the OEMs to Google. And with some of the OEMs already struggling that can't be good.
Quick question. Why move to California? I think everyone knows it's one of the most expensive states in the country. I sort of imagined you moving from CA to somewhere much cheaper with access to more economical space/employees.

You're correct in that, for example, purple lies halfway between read an blue in terms of hue. However, an interpolation between those colors based on hue that does not adjust saturation, will look quite ugly, as it passes through magenta, etc. The question is, how should one adjust the saturation?

There's nothing wrong with any given color space. It was designed with particular goals in mind, and those goals generally did not include attractive blending through linear interpolation. So, yes, we developed a means of hand-tuning the interpolation such that it produces colors that look good together, which is what our users really cares about.

I don't think so. There are a lot of problems with Gnome 3, but that doesn't mean there aren't a lot of problems with Gnome 2 as well.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: someone really needs to build the "Google Web Fonts" of Web Audio API instruments/effects. If developers were able to include sampled/synthesized sounds as easily as dropping in a script tag, it would open up a whole world of possibilities for interactive music on the web.
Most people DO have access to LTE. Verizon's network covers 250 Million people in the US, and their 4G footprint will equal that of their 3G network by next year sometime (2013).

Controversial statement usually get voted up if they're good reasoning.
The viral aspect is hands down the most important. Like you said, look at SnapChat. It's unreal how quickly it spread. Even games like Temple Run quickly boomed from friends comparing scores.

It seems like the simplistic ideas are the ones that go viral the most quickly.
This is great news. I'm hoping SpaceX's recent success has put a fire under NASA.
If you can find a nice polo at a thrift store, go with that! We shop thrift/vintage ourselves, and love re-use vs. new manufacturing.

We're going to strive to hit price points that the average American (US!) find reasonable. As we build the company we'll have an increasing ability to do this.

Our first run, however, just isn't feasible at the quality we are holding ourselves to (plus Kickstarter and Amazon both take a cut).

I think we'll hit $25 for a polo quickly. We hope you'll follow the progress and buy when you're comfortable!
No, but ignoring prior wrongs also don't make them right. The goal should be to try to make the shackled man whole again, not just free. To give him what he needs to participate in society as if he had never been shackled. It doesn't take much statistical or anecdotal evidence to see that we are a long way off from that ideal scenario.
Hey Luke. Always good to see another Mainer here. What town are you from?
The issue here is that affirmative action conflates two separate things. One
element of affirmative action is correction for economic disenfranchisement.
You're right that maybe we should look at this more broadly and attempt a more
race-neutral approach.

However, the second horn seeks to correct for prejudice and descrimination, not
poverty. This is not necessarily heavy-handed correction, like quotas, either.
For example, one of the most effective instances is the enforcement of
blind auditions for orchestras. Almost immediately after the rule was
instituted, the demographics of major US orchestras shifted hugely. The point is
to correct for latent, perhaps even unconcious, descrimination.

To understand how even unconcious descrimination can be self-reinforcing,
consider someone hiring a new software developer. If they have a team of
middle-class white male software developers and a middle class white male
software developer applies, they have to give almost no thought to how they will
integrate with the team. Sure, there are your corner cases, but we all share a
lot of the same cultural background. With vulnerable groups, it's not the same.
It requires some thought. Since we all don't like to expend mental energy on
something we're not really thrilled about doing in the first place (reading
resumes, interviewing, hiring), it's just so much easier to pick the white
male and be done with it. By putting counterbalances in place we don't have to
actually favor anybody, we just have to reduce the forcing function in the
system that pushes us towards the status quo.
This is something I've been waiting for for a while. Quality American-made basic clothes at reasonable prices is an incredibly compelling offering. I usually shop from a mix of H&M for basic nondescript items (shirts, polos, socks) and reasonably-priced premium brands for the rest (Calvin Klein, Levi's, etc.).

Uhm, that's not how it works.

If you are white the odds are massively stacked in your favor. That doesn't mean you can't lose, but it's less likely. All AA does is fudge the odds a bit in the other direction. No more.

Just stopping to discriminate would do nothing – because that's for the most part not the reason why the odds are stacked against minorities. Structural racism is the reason. Society is constructed in a way that leaves minorities with less opportunities, that decreases their odds. Individuals changing their behavior cannot address that problem.
The Death of the Written Software Specification
Paul Ryan was and is the head of the House Budget committee, which under his leadership proposed a detailed budget that was passed in the US House of Representatives but failed in the Senate for both of the last two years. Romney said he supported the Ryan budget. Remarkably, no Democratic Senator has proposed or voted in favor of any budget whatsoever for the last 3.5 years.

So this "fact-check" seems to invert the truth--the Democrats have given no details about their plans, while the Republicans have been very specific about theirs, whether or not you agree with them.
But the existing space station in LEO took 10 years to build and cost 150 billion. Wouldn't a similar station in deep space be an order of magnitude more expensive?

It may not be widely deployed outside the US, but that doesn't mean new devices shouldn't support the new standards.

Imagine if when Microsoft was designing Windows 7 they said "well, no one is using IPv6 right now so we won't include any support."
CONTINUOUS DELIVERY ftw
The worst part about a non-removable battery, besides no replacement, is if the phone is dropped. The battery usually ejects and takes the force of the fall. I have never had a phone case and have dropped my 3 droids many times without incident.

With case, you lose a lot of the sleekness.
Thanks for the feedback, there are a few challenges around this - we need to get it order ASAP. We've had a few performance-only hack days, and have another one this weekend.

It'd probably be work a blog post talking about some of the challenges around eeking out performance in places where you're not accounted for (as an extension, for example), and some ways to work around it - once we've fixed it, of course!
http://www.multiplayerpiano.com/ is similar. It only supports the piano instrument, but it has a public lobby where you can play with other visitors to the site, as well as private rooms.
All our partners (dye houses, sewers, pattern makers, mills, etc.) are in/around Los Angeles. I had to learn apparel manufacturing from the ground up, and this isn't an industry where I could just read, Google, and make phone calls. I've spent hundreds and hundreds of hours side-by-side with all our partners making sure our process is as perfect as we can make it.

I moved from Boston -- LA is cheaper for me, but that is a pretty small part of our overall costs. We're all tech guys and are used to living on ramen. :)

Besides, I think the most talked about phone award probably goes to the Samsung S3...
Thanks so much for the support! Make sure to stay in the loop and let us know what things you'd like us to work on next!
Sure, but then I have to rebuild those symlinks after install... now, I don't do installs every 30 days like some Linux users, but I do upgrade with each new release and having stuff "just work" is just simply beautiful.

It's going beyond screwing up mobile. I've noticed over the last few months a great increase in the number of major sites that are crappy on the desktop, too.

For instance, many sites behave poorly if you have the audacity to use your browser's zoom feature. Their floating social sidebars intrude into the text, or the margin goes completely away, or the text extends into the sidebar.

It's getting to the point where blog spam is often preferable to the original.
It was just a blank page.

I don't see how you would be able to tell how long it takes to load- unless you control the site it's prefetching, in which case you should be able to tell if they've been there before anyway.

A base at L2 is interesting. However, I have a fundamental problem with these plans: timeframe. JFK's moon speech was so memorable, and the policy it implemented so successful because it was aimed to be done while JFK was still in office (well, pretty close). Obama and NASA targeting a Mars landing by the time Obama is nearly dying of old age...well, it's not inspiring. It's also not likely to stay on track for so many decades. "By the decade is out" -> "When I'm 78 and elderly"

I am also nervous about the continued approach of establishing bases to "learn more about supporting humans in deep space". The ISS did this for not-deep space, and it trapped us in. It was so expensive that it prevented further exploration.

I would suggest that we should not establish small expensive bases to learn more. Unless the bases are intended to become permanent colonies, which I think would be an excellent move. I realize this starts to sound expensive, but start with a small but expandable design. Like scaling a web start up.
Please compare the price of an unlocked iPhone to the price of this unlocked, powerful phone.
If you have more money you can go with the S3 or any of the other Android phones with all the features that are missing in the N4.
The power of choice...
People don't address and recognize sensory issues sufficiently. In my case, I enjoy interacting with others. However, I simply cannot tune out their presence in my immediate environment.

I'm happy to collaborate with others, meeting and then going off to my own (quiet) space to think further and to implement.

Electronic communication also helps me, as I can control the level and times of sensory input / stimulation it provides. And even while interacting, I'm less overwhelmed by the immediate physical presence of another person or people.

If you are like me, I recommend not straining overly in an attempt to force yourself to "adapt" to today's typical, noisy and distracting physical "collaboration" environment. I've been at it for several decades, and it just doesn't work.

People simply love the work I do, when I'm given the resource and left in peace to do it. (I do engage with others, freely; however, this is not -- incessantly and counter-productively and irrelevantly -- forced upon me.

Please save yourself the aggravation I've gone through. Leave bad environments, until you find one that accepts how you function and fosters your excellence within that context. Do work to grow and expand your abilities; however, beware of demands that are instead excessively stressing you, diminishing your productivity, and wearing you down. That is a long-term course to failure.

P.S. I'll add that I tend to be very good at teaching and training, because I really pay attention to the other person or people and work from where I find them to be at, in knowledge and conception. I've often received thanks and comments from people who've told me that it's the first time they've really gotten the topic at hand.

If there are lingering doubts about my ability to collaborate and work with others, I'd cite this as a prime counter-argument.
The problem is not so much the glass back as it is no removable battery. With a removable battery, when the phone is dropped, it ejects and takes the force of the fall.

And probably making some 50$/day workers be able to become 100$/workers and helping those with whom you at least have some cultural connection and also just because you also care for your country and why not, letting some jobless youngster start a career in the USA. And not promoting what is akin to slavery in states about whose workmen we have no clue.

Two complementary things can be good at the same time. Giving money to a beggar and not giving to another can both be good for the same person.
I think there are opportunities for a company to do an incredible amount of good in other countries as well, like we hope to do locally. But at our stage, we don't have the leverage to vet or monitor contractors in a way we'd find acceptable. We aspire someday to make our apparel available outside the United States with manufacturing in the respective areas! We don't think transporting inputs/outputs across the globe multiple times is fair to our environment.

This idea comes up all the time on r/space. It can't be done. The ISS is not safe out there. It does not have enough radiation shielding nor is it sturdy enough, nor would you be able to accelerate it out there, etc. Making the modifications necessary to do so would cost much more than just building a new ship.
Ok, if you want to play semantic games then let's play semantic games. If you think any policy based on race is racism I will for the sake of the argument accept that weird definition and say that the racist AA policy is super awesome and that I full-heartedly support that racism. I'm a racist for AA!

It's not my thing. I do think it's pretty poor form to take out APIs without some more advanced warning and heads up to the community than apparently the gnome team provides. Whatever they think they're doing in terms of communicating their roadmap/plans/vision wrt their API, it's certainly not enough based on this sort of feedback.
