I'm a fan of all the missions so far, but when I hear that none of the rovers have been "properly equipped to find microscopic life", I fear that some of the mission planning may be trying to "preserve the mystery", trickling out plot revelations to keep the viewers/funders hooked.

Couldn't Curiousity have had some agar plates and just dragged them through the dust, for subsequent observation over weeks? (Even if any organisms detected were eventually suspected to be earth-originated contaminants, their growth details would be new info, right?)
There is a reason why I would never use such service like Prismatic. The main problem for me here is that it creates a confined universe for you where you are surrounded by only "relevant" information. For example I don't care much about fashion, but once in a while reading NY Times I stumble upon a very interesting articles about new trends in fashion or its history. It makes me think out of the box and expands my knowledge. There is no way a service like Prismatic would provide me with such articles based on my interests.
Will a programmers computer necessarily have different hardware?

It strikes me that with better virtualisation technology you could have your "appliance" device and your dev box sitting side by side on the same piece of hardware (or access it remotely). The question will be more about access to that, will it be something you can just install like everything else on your device or will you need to do some complex jailbreak or sign an agreement with the manufacturer to install?

I'm not sure to what extent Linux has "take over servers" though. Surely this would seem to be the case with HTTP servers (which are the most visible to the internet) but if you go into businesses from small to large you find an awful lot of Windows Servers doing stuff like Active Directory, Exchange and File/Print sharing. In fact almost all of the "IT Service Provider" companies in my area are Windows only shops.
Just a few paragraphs in, and I've stopped reading. This article is terrible. The author seems to neither understand who's driving the Wayland project nor the technical details of it. Case in point-

"Let’s start by considering what an end user will see. In casual language, future releases of Ubuntu will base their graphics on Wayland rather than X. Since Wayland is designed for 3D displays, the Linux applications of the future will look three-dimensional!"

Has anybody seen a "git for people who have no idea how to use git" tutorial?

I use git for keeping track of some personal projects, but the extent to which I understand how to use it is:

"git commit origin master"

We had a hackathon this weekend, and our team had three people on it. I wanted to make it so that they could also commit code into the same repo (I think this it the right term?), but had absolutely no idea how to actually make this happen, and googling didn't seem to give answers that were geared towards somebody with my level-of-understanding of git.

> How much of the surface have they covered with rovers?

They've landed four successful rovers on the surface. One the size of a microwave oven, two the size of small golf carts, and one the size of a BMW Mini.

Meanwhile, Mars has approximately the same land area as all the continents of earth put together. It's a big place.

Feel free to do the math to answer your question, but there'll be an awful lot of zeros after the decimal place.

Everything in a startup is a trade-off.

When faced with "build product" vs "prettify website" what would most people here do?

Seems like a lot of folks here are making assumptions about what's most important to a given startup at a given time by looking from the outside. I'm sure in some cases they're right but not necessarily all.

Admittedly for 'launching' at a conference I'd assume an informative website would be a priority but what do I know?

I would wager that the majority of users of Instagram don't really care about the Instagram social network

...and I would absolutely take that bet. I know a ton of (less tech-y) people that check Instagram like it's a bad addiction. It's become a less involved Facebook- checking that results in a huge cognitive load, Instagram is just a nice stream of photos for you to browse through.

I get far more 'native' comments on my Instagram photos than I do through the integrated Facebook post. I suspect I am not alone.
Nobody confines you to reading only articles surfaced by Prismatic. (and it does a great job btw)

If you could choose between universe where you don't have Prismatic and another where you have the option of using it, you'd seriously prefer the former?
What better/more/cheaper stuff do IG users gain from this? No comment from IG.

When companies "compete" by buying out the competition and shutting down trade, there is a loss of choice and utility and a loss to consumers.
I think the article is correct to say that technological innovation has slowed down and will likely continue to slow down over the next period of time. However, I disagree with the diagnosis that this slowdown is due to bad public policy.

Rather, the Internet is such a vast step forward that we are still struggling to build infrastructure. We will be tied up building this infrastructure until we expand the portion of our workforce capable of building technology for the Internet.

Since this is an infrastructure problem, let's compare building pieces of the Internet to building roadways for another great technology - the car. The differences between building roadway and Internet infrastructure are the following:

1) The building blocks of the Internet are not steel, but software and hardware.

If you look at things this way, the iPhone is not its own innovation, but Internet infrastructure. It's a mobile connection to the Internet that serves up other connections through apps. Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, Yelp - they're all infrastructure. And we've only touched the tip of the iceberg.

2) Unlike building roads, the Internet requires highly skilled workers and doesn't have a 'completion date'.

We still have a lot of opportunities to build out businesses on the Internet, and a large percentage of people who are capable of building these businesses out are doing just that. They're not innovating, but executing.

Until our workforce becomes more educated, the rate of overall change will be stagnant.
You are bucketing Prismatic with "other services" without trying it or understanding what it does. Give it a shot, I think you'll find that it is designed to increase those serendipitous finds, not to filter signal from noise.
I've seen very little "users losing" in the past 10 years, despite continuous reporting to the contrary.

This might make economists cringe, but here's how I see it:

In the past, increasing efficiency was beneficial, because the people no longer needed for one thing could go and do something else, increasing the total amount of things being made and services provided. Most obviously, as agriculture was mechanised, people went to work in the factories (of course, early factories were nasty places to work, but that's another story).

Today, we're still increasing efficiency, but - as I see it - we're running out of things we need people to do, so freeing people up increases un- or underemployment. At best, people are employed to do ever more 'luxury' things that can easily be dropped when money runs tight.

I think we've reached a point where the sum of human happiness is increased not by churning out ever more stuff, and finding ever more services to provide, but by increasing our leisure time. When I was young, I imagined that robots would one day do most of the work, leaving humans to relax and pursue their hobbies. But economics locks us out of that, because having a lot of leisure time (i.e. unemployment) is something to be avoided. I wish I knew how to fix it.

Looked at another way: we can produce the stuff we need without needing all the people to work. But the people who do work resent non-workers enjoying the fruits of their labour, so we almost have to keep people busy for the sake of fairness.
TL;DR: Developers of graphical user environments like Ubuntu Unity will gain the ability to deliver smooth, fluid experiences via the 3D compositor; application developers will gain the freedom to do whatever they want with their applications' graphics buffers, because the compositor will be seamlessly combining all buffers on screen.

"We <3 Bootstrap"

I didn't go to college so please help me out here.
If Flatstrap < 3 Bootstrap is true then is Flatstrap > 2 Bootstrap also true?
not sure if this is the place for feedback, but i've been a hardcore user of prismatic since it came out (love it!), but one thing i've been getting is pretty bad repeated text. just sentences repeated over and over again.
Absolutely. There are so many trade-offs with mobile and the ones you described are spot on.

I feel like the mobile first is a ruse in some ways that investors love to hype. I had a startup a few years back (mid 2007- late 2010) that got some pretty good angel money. A pretty decent amount to get everything launched and keep us going and keep us running over the years. We rolled out a web site first and slowly built our paying user base up.

But as soon as the iPhone came out, my partner decided that we had to be a mobile company. He told me to remove the website, truncate our db, and start from a 'clean slate'. I was totally against it and years later, we never made anywhere near the money we had before we went mobile (company 'IP' was chopped up and sold off last year). But the thing is, our app really was location based, so from one point of view, it definitely made sense to have a very strong mobile presence. But we killed off our main revenue source to be a 'mobile company' - the stupidest thing ever and I'm a total business 101 fail.

Sure, mobile (as per Mary Meeker and others) has not reached its full potential. But if I were starting a new project, I would definitely consider if mobile first makes sense. I am primarily an iOS developer, but have built on many languages/platforms on the server side for years. I love making mobile products and I believe that there's pretty much always a place for it. But the whole 'mobile first' argument only makes sense for products that rely on the unique traits mobile offers.

Companies/apps like Uber, Wikipedia, News, Music stores, ticketing, Foursquare, etc, make most sense to go mobile first (even tho some may not have). They can be used away from the desktop easily and usually have a benefit in the real world. But unless you product fits into something like that, I would agree more with Vibhu and do mobile later.

And whatever you do, don't kill your main source of revenue to be a 'mobile company'!

Does this lead to a functional definition of freedom that's actually more useful for more people than what we're used to?

What is freedom? A functional definition might be -- you're not prevented from doing things when you try to do them.

Interested in electronics? Want to build an igniter for your home-brew rocket engine? Fine ... if we know enough about you to conclude that it's for fun, not for killin'

Want to build a rocket? Great ... if you're not likely to endanger others or sell your knowledge to those who might.

In a perverse way, more detailed profiles could lead to better discrimination between those who have esoteric interests but are unthreatening vs. those whose who are threats.

Of course, if you build it, it will be abused ... but it's an interesting thought experiment.

How are humans better at searching for life than robots?

Humans seem to require much more onsite support infrastructure, including for activities (eating, sleeping, remaining social and sane) that are tangential to most exploration and life-detection experiments. Such an infrastructure also increases the magnitude of Earth-contamination of the Martian environment.

I'm all for having humans on Mars so we're a two-planet species... but I don't see boots-on-the-ground as offering a faster/better/more-complete search for life than the same resources sent as robots.

Mobile is unquestionably the future, but it's a little surprising that there hasn't been a huge, non-game, break away money maker.

Mobile devices are surely the future for personal information retrieval and a lot of social interactions, which collectively makes up a huge part of the consumer market. Mobile apps, I am much more sceptical about.

For one thing, web apps and cloud buzzwords took hold partly because it was so much hassle to deploy and maintain traditional native apps on the desktop. I don't see any reason the same arguments won't hold for mobile over the long run.

For another thing, you have to consider the nature of the markets. Winning big in web app world, where there is real money to be made in B2B, is being Salesforce. Winning big in platform/channel world, where you're not just hitting consumers but rather every interaction between consumers and other consumers or businesses, is being Google or Facebook or Amazon or Steam or PayPal. Winning big in mobile app world, where users look at a $1.50 app that's going to save them 10 minutes a day and wonder if it's too expensive, is... maybe enough to pay the rent?
Not because we don't want to. There are about ten different ways we could do it, and none of them look incredibly promising.
There are three ways:

1) A couple other users clicked the 'flag' link on the submission. Once you pass the 'too-many-flags' threshold, the post drops position drastically and immediately. Any user with sufficient karma can flag submissions.

2) A moderator flagged the submission. PG is not the only moderator.

3) Some portion of the 24 people that voted for the story were detected as part of a voting ring. The voting ring detector flagged the story.
It's up now, although this is still temporary - will be changed in a week or so, for two reasons:

- we pivoted into WordPress market because talking with our prospective customers revealed a real need for a real-time WP support platform

- we changed our name to Codeable, because Carmivore didn't position all that well (the new domain will be codeable.io)

We already have 40 contractors (hand picked, invited) that are on standby (while we prepare the legalities to be able to process payments online).
I agree that the CDC is a legitimate example of something that only government can afford to offer. But we can have a government without the CDC. We can have government without welfare or social security. We can take many things away from government and still call it a government. Taking this to its extreme, if we remove the social order provided by police or the sovereign protection provided by military, laws and borders become meaningless and our government becomes anarchy.

This is not to day that we should or shouldn't take these things away (or add more, for that matter), but that the core of government's purpose is social order for its citizens.
They're falling to an intrinsic bias - the technological advances we see are the ones that have already been made. Future advances haven't been made yet; effectively comparing sum(past_technological_advances) with sum(future_technological_advances)

The phrase 'diminishing marginal returns' is missing from this article. The essence of diminishing marginal returns is something like, "low-hanging fruit gets picked first"; problems that have a good ratio of effort in to reward out are preferentially attacked and so, over time, the average problem is harder to solve or has lower yields.

One could argue that 'stagnation' is occurring not because absolute innovation (however you make up a way to measure it) is down but because the average real-economy impact of a unit innovation (in made up measure) is getting smaller.
Great, another service trying to solve the signal to noise ratio. My thoughts on this: http://www.techdisruptive.com/2012/09/18/we-are-far-from-sol...
How does prismatic actually use NLP for finding articles you like? Does it use sentiment analysis of reviews from people it thinks are similar to you?

> The fact is that today there is very little you can't do in a browser app and can do to a useful extent in a mobile app

Yeah, I don't doubt the government could perform active attacks on more targeted individuals if they wanted to, but this mass collection of internet traffic that's supposedly happening is almost certainly passive.

I'm with you on this one. Especially in an iterative context, there is zero value in looking for the true root cause.

The point of the exercise is to identify economical interventions that will get the system to produce better results. If you go much beyond that, people can get off into moral, analytical, or philosophical weeds and get lost.

As long as you do retrospectives and five-whys frequently, you can count on useful analytical depth to come over time. If an issue is really both important and subtle, it will crop up again. The next time you'll have another perspective, so it will be easier to find. And by waiting, you'll have avoided examining all the equally subtle but unimportant things.

For me it had won. Linux had reached the point where I could go up to any computer I wished, fire up Linux, and have it not even occur to me that something wouldn't work. Not "have it work most of the time", but have it work "enough of the time that I no longer pondered the possibility that it wouldn't." My last two laptop purchases in the last 3 years were done with no research into Linux compatibility; neither time did I regret the purchase.

Now I have a concern again, and that doesn't feel nice.
