Fantastic Planet Money episode. However, it is about 17 minutes long which a whole bunch of political stuff which may be viewed as fluff. Approxcript of the negotiation techniques below:

1. "Nibbles": Reach a general agreement (agree on a basic premise). Instead of instantly accepting the deal, push for one small concession at a time.

2. Before entering into a discussion, think about a 'BATNA' = Best Alternative To Negotiated Agreement. Are there other options? Is there a minimum you are willing to agree with?

3. "Expanding the pie": While certain points in contention may be very inflexible (salary, job position), "expand the pie" and seek out other areas which may be more flexible (vacation days, compensation). This also serves to clarify the central hinge of the negotiations.

4. Disarming Empathy. Essentially, the act of being empathetic (in a sort of self-deprecating way perhaps?) so that the other side bargains against themselves while you do not budge from your initial offer.

I recently decided not to attend UC Berkeley in favor of starting my career in product design. A lot has already been covered here, but a couple points:

> Got a chance to reboot my education, which was something I really needed to do.

Your entire personal anecdote is based off of you dropping out of high school. One could argue that if you had completed high school, there would be less value in college for you.

> I don't think Gates and Zuckerberg are good role models for young people.

You don't think Bill Gates is a good role model for young people? What's a better role model then one of the world's richest people trying to solve giant social issues? Gates should be a role model to all rich people! Zuck's not there yet, but his recent charitable giving suggests that later in his life he'll follow the same path.

> Most kids who try to be the next billionaire entrepreneur will fail.

When did being an entrepreneur become all about making money? Of all the college dropouts-turned SV kids I know (including myself) money is never the primary driver.

> And if we push the kids toward that, we will lead them to believe, mistakenly, that it's enough to create a massive fortune. It is not enough. And if they fail to create the fortune, according to this standard, they will have failed in life.

What 'standard' are you referring to? I think a lot college students these days understand that money doesn't equal happiness.

I think the author is a bit misguided as to the reasons behind some kids choose not to attend college. Personally, I'm devoted to product design, learn better on my own/with a small team, and affiliate strongly with SV culture. I'm not worried that I'm not going to be 'educated' – I see that as a ten-year, twenty-year, or even lifetime goal.
While 25% vs. 7% sounds illogical, it isn't necessarily. Maybe one person seeing a print ad gets the same results as 10 people seeing an online ad. Maybe for any single person, one print ad has the same effect as seeing 10 online ads. Maybe print ads reach not only less people, but also different people to online ads, and therefore even if it's less cost-effective it is still cost-effective enough to be worth spending money on. It's not a simple decision to make :)
Yes, I do. Because Hollywood isn't stupid. If they could make just as much money from a one million dollar film, with the same sized advertising budget, they would. On average film takings are surprisingly closely related to cost.
We're a team of 4 (2 of which are developers).
> I don't treat piracy of entertainment as a moral question, because it's just copying. If I can download it, I own it, period.

Do you apply this to software? E.g., if I download some GPL software, do I own it, period, and so it is morally OK for me to ignore the GPL?
>Your complaint about touch interfaces probably has more to do with buying a really shitty MP3 player than anything inherent about touch.

I just mentioned I have a Nexus 7. Same complaints mostly. Though the touch is more responsive in the 7, doesn't really alleviate my complaints. (I never complained about latency on the Sanza because it's a sub $100 device and can't be expected to have decent capacitive touch hardware. Which is part of the reason it should use buttons, there was no reason to make it a device driven by touch.)

That and I haven't seen very many "gestures" in the android apps I use. Though I've heard a lot of hype about them.

>Touch beats pens, keyboards, and mice in the respect that you don't have to carry around a bunch of peripherals. Nearly everybody has fingers and spent the first couple years of their lives learning to use them.

Yes, yes it does. Which is why it was probably a smart idea to force developers to assume only a touch screen for most applications, it stops them from requiring a stylus for stuff that doesn't need it. At the same time, using a tablet with just your fingers is really painful, and theres no way I'm the only person who holds this opinion.

And theres a reason tablet keyboards are so small, and usually clamp onto the device they're built for, it's because nobody is going to lug around a full sized 104 key desktop keyboard. And pens are small, they fit in your pocket easily. Together they probably fix enough of the weaknesses touch has as an interface to make a tablet usable as more than a toy.

when I say touch should be a "fallback" interface, that might imply it shouldn't receive regular use. I really mean something closer to "default". A good example might be GIMP. (Or any other image editor, like photoshop.) People who are serious about drawing digitally usually buy a drawing tablet, or in decades past some sort of light pen. But because drawing tablets work like any other pointing device from the operating systems perspective, users who prefer a drawing tablet can use one without locking out users who only have an optical mouse, and vice versa.

A capacitive touch stylus is compatible with touch screens, meaning that for applications that don't require extreme delicacy, pens and touch can co-exist without carrying around any large peripherals. Users who don't want to buy any fancy add-ons are happy, users who can't stand smudging their screen and cleaning it with a glasses cloth are happy too.

The anti-terrorism bill to which you refer does not simply criminalize political beliefs, as you imply; rather, it would have allowed prosecutions to raise federal terrorism charges for violent crimes if they met one 9 tests mostly having to do with deliberate attempts to disrupt commerce, target the US government explicitly, or involved people who were not US nationals. It was in that sense like "hate crimes" legislation.

The indefinite detention provision concerned foreign nationals who could not be repatriated (which is a sticky problem everywhere), and provided for judicial review in the US DC Circuit.

It was a stupid bill, but that doesn't mean we should be imprecise about it.
I'm going out on a limb here and supposing that he buys it from an insurance company. Not trying to sound snarky, but it's just not that big a deal for most people - it's a service and you buy it. Yes, it gets expensive for some people with certain conditions or over a certain age, but it's just a cost of doing business for a huge number of people.

Get a high-deductible policy ($3.5k - $10k) and your premiums for an average family could be between $300 and $600/month. (blue cross blue shield in north carolina, husband and wife in 40s and 2 teenage kids - sample quote).
That is an individual plan for myself, my wife, and our 1 year old son. We are both young (22) and have no health issues. Also it has a $5k deductible and we live in an inexpensive state (Idaho).

Because of the GPL, companies using Linux are required to release the kernel modifications they made to get it running on this wide variety of hardware, and this improves Linux as a whole.

EDIT: This article's extreme focus on the consumer mobile market is pretty narrow-minded, though: "There’s no denying the success of Linux in many areas, with Android being the foremost example." No, if you want to see where Linux really dominates, look to HPC and embedded systems.

Online collaboration platform for existing ticketing/issue management systems
Some days ago I was attending the Scrum meeting with usual arrangement (i.e. a white board with lot of sticky notes having ticket numbers, short description and assignee nickname) and all of the sudden I ask myself can't this whole process be automated.

I search but did not find an online team collaboration system which truly enable issue management systems to be used collaboratively online. I mean a system that read the ticketing information from the source issue management system, bring it to online Scrum board and using collaborative features like chat, voice/video conferencing the team members can collaborate with each other (even geographically distributed teams). Last but not least, the alterations in tickets will reflect back in their source system.

What you guys suggest, does such a system make sense or in need?

Does anybody know of great guides to master the majority of the useful CLI tools available on Unix and Linux? For me the challenge is that I don't even know I have some of these fantastic solutions readily available. I'd really benefit of knowing they're there in the first place instead of hacking a homebrew solution every time.

Learn Linux the Hard Way talks about them quite a bit, is that the go to guide in 2012 or can I do better?

Sure, common sense suggests that they do need some real people in customer support, but haven't you read the horror stories of their algorithms banning people?

People had their accounts closed with messages like: "Your account is now closed permanently. We won't tell you why. Don't try contacting us, we will not respond. Fuck You."

They have some real people working with customers, but they're meant for big, rich customers-they-want-to-keep. You get the algorithm treatment, and you're not supposed to even reach the real people there.

This is showing up in Firefox as well, since it uses "Google Safe Browsing" for information about suspicious sites.
Looks like yet another "malvertising" situation.

The Google Safebrowsing report [1] appears fairly ambiguous though:

"Site is listed as suspicious - visiting this web site may harm your computer (...)"

"Of the 12029 pages we tested on the site over the past 90 days, 0 page(s) resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent. The last time Google visited this site was on 2012-12-30, and suspicious content was never found on this site within the past 90 days."

Why not? If people couldn’t watch movies, they would just read books. Lots of these in public domain.

Read Crypto by Steven Levy. An amazing account of how cryptography was finally opened up for the Internet. Because before the Net, the wording of the law was very, very restrictive in a way that made no sense with how the Internet operated. It really is eye opening to see the role the NSA played and the tactics they used to try to keep things smothered. Not very different than what is still happening right now with the NSA, apparently.

If someone asked to name your creator(s), one of the obvious answers would be your (my) parents.
To an extent that is correct.
But YOU are a part of the universe. And so are WE. With the sole purpose of life and bringing life. And the universe will eventually take US back.
And your parents did NOT create the universe. Their best effort has actually managed to land them way to short of interpeting it. They might have probably formed some of your habits and a way of thinking. So to everyone else. That is until we start figuring out that actually ideas can be formed and are not

Localizing packet processing significantly improves cache performance, in addition to avoiding copies and context switches. Receiving data from a socket almost always necessitates it being copied from a SKB to userspace memory, and prior to that from the driver's rx ring to a SKB.

As an aside, 'qualitative' is not a synonym for 'quality'; it means 'involving distinctions based on qualities' and contrasts with 'quantitative', which refers to distinctions based on numerical measurements.

Sounds like the same old saw that the computer cognoscenti said about desktop computers. From my point of view, I don't give a damn about any of their quibbles---they are either no longer a problem or subject to on-going R&D.

Good heavens, I can even have it cast in gold or sterling silver if I want :) This technology allows me to move from day-dream to reality.

Game testing for kids?
My 7-year old boy is, like many of his peers, really really good at video games. All sorts of games:action, sports, FPS...you name it.

And like most parents we continually put up barriers and create incentives to limit his total screen time. It's a constant game of cat and mouse.

Recently though, we were wondering if we criminalized his urges too much and wanted to find out if we could channel his energies in a different constructive way from which he could learn.

So with that as the background, we're wondering if there are any gaming companies out there that currently utilize or could utilize youth gamers for testing purposes?

The goal is not money, in fact, I'm sure no company can compensate underage kids for any work. The goal is to teach my son about the larger ideas of working in a team, collaboration, being thorough and helping with a larger project.

Anyone out there doing this sort of thing?

Or if not, I'd love to hear other's ideas on how to channel his gaming energy into something likewise creative and instructive.

Thanks

Seen that TDD refer to "Test Driven Development" I was nearly sure that the question asked about "MVP" / Model View Presentation.

I've implemented lots of different of UIs using MVC type 1 and 2, HMVC / PAC etc. and, as a developer, I don't have single clue as to what "MVP" means here. Maybe some context to remove the ambiguity would be good in laconic questions like this one, especially seen that the other acronym is used.

Google for "TDD test driven development MVC" and you'll see that I'm 100% correct on this one ; )

Those that TDD a lot have come to realise what TDD does is help you find a good design. It teaches you something about the way in which you code and design and allows you to cheaply play with the alternatives. It also ensures the code works and ensures so in the future as you undergo changes.

BDD for functional testing ensures that the functionality you test works and again that before you cut code you have thought about how your functionality is going to work. These are valuable exercises to do with or without the code to run.

So when it comes to an MVP to test the idea how well does it have to work and how well does it have to be designed? Some amount of your system will be critical and if in the process of changing it you break that functionality you may have no product. A certain amount of confidence in the core of what you are building is important, having it automated will allow you to change quickly. Ensuring 100% code coverage is not important, some bugs when you are small are probably acceptable.

> Nope, you probably don't do that. You use a computer (host) where you already have a C compiler, and you compile the new compiler (which you wrote/ported). Then you run this new compiler, on the host, to generate executable code for the new architecture (target), i.e. cross-compile. You can use this cross-compiler to (again) compile your ported compiler, but to run on the target architecture. You end up with a native compiler for your new architecture.
