Beck's ‘Sound and Vision’ as a 360-Degree Interactive Video
When it comes to notifications, easy sharing and usability features in general, it has them all and they are touch optimized.

I guess you mean that it doesn't look like Android or iOS. This can be changed easily through a theme. Conveniently you can download new themes from the theme settings screen, you don't need extra software nor you have to search in random places.

On the other hand, certain programs, like its text editor which can highlight code in almost every known computer language, does regular expression searches, support vi input mode etc, can't get much eye-pleasing. But you do get something you can actually work on.

I love the touch drived interface of tablets, but I don't think there is a reason to hide that a tablet device is a computer in different form and when you need it, it can perform as thus.
Some excerpts:

He was a charming, damaged, charismatic, fiercely intelligent, dissolute individual, who lived entirely on his own terms. As a professional gambler, it is unlikely he paid much if any tax in 37 years. He had no will, no funeral plan. He never did fill out the forms necessary to vote in the last election, or the one before that, as I discovered. He just hated forms. I could sympathise. Had he stayed in the US, it is – how you say – dollars to doughnuts he wouldn’t have got it together to fill out the forms, and would have had no health insurance. He considered the US system “absolutely unmanageable”.

However long this goes on for, they'll continue throwing resources at this individual and never show a single sheet of figures to any of his relatives. Not because they'll get anything back, but because this is what the NHS does. It’s free care for throat cancer sufferers who only gave up smoking four years afterwards, for drinkers who were told 35 years ago that if they didn’t quit drinking they’d die. Free care for American immigrants, for jerks and gents. Free care for parents whether they showed up or not. Free care for guys who tried to try. Free care for the only father I will ever have.

So here comes the TANSTAAFL argument: I don't think anyone argues that what the OP describes is a "bad thing"...in fact, I think it's probably the dream scenario that people optimistically assume is the case before they have their first encounter with an emergency room.

But the reason why it doesn't happen is because of cost, plain and simple. And to be concerned about cost is not just the domain of greedy insurers and fat cat cost cutters, but of reasonable people who understand that preventive care is less dramatic than end-of-life care, but is surely as deserving of resources and attention. And both types of care rely on the same limited pot of funding.

It's easy to be emotionally invested in the personal case of a man who is lucky enough to have a loved one so eloquent with words. But what about the hundreds, thousands of routine cases that are treated by NHS with a protocol governed by cost limitations, limitations that will inevitably be imposed by the decision to give blue-chip treatment to the untreatable?

These routine cases don't pull at the heart strings because it is the nature of the human mind not to realize/dwell on how an exam/procedure not scheduled two years ago is the main factor in the chronic disease one suffers today. And yet these people are just as deserving of optimal treatment as OP's Bill. The way that OP judges the value of healthcare, though, means that the Bill's will get a greater share of a finite set of resources. Is this really the way an optimal healthcare system should work?

This is not to say that the U.S. or any other system is currently better than the NHS. It's just to point out that fashion in which the OP (positively) judges the NHS is susceptible to being ignorant of the problems that occur earlier in the pipeline of health.

Good to see some of these firms get some good PR, but the metric they are judging by is number of companies in their portfolio that were acquired (IPOs aren't included). That's going to heavily favor funds that do lots of deals, and doesn't give a good indicator of whether the exits were profitable ones.

What's Missing From The New Digital Classroom?
The biggest problem with the NSA proposal was that it was dishonest. Industry has been asking them for threat alerts based on tier 1 network surveillance for some time, but the NSA (dba Cyber Command) has continually questioned whether they were chartered to share that information. As a response they offered to share data only with organizations that would place NSA instrumentation inside their private networks, which is what raised the privacy concerns.

Simply put, defense is hard. That's the main reason you've seen all of the national intelligence organizations playing hot potato with the issue. Hopefully this will be changing a bit for the better based on the executive order Obama signed recently that directs DHS, NSA and the FBI to expand their programs that share active threat information with private companies.

The warnings comparing carbon-nanotubes to asbestos are simply because of the shape of the structure - they are both microscopic needles and our white blood cells don't do a good job of breaking them down.

Not all nanomaterials are dangerous (just as varying sizes of dust are not), but many new materials may adopt unnatural properties that our body doesn't know how to deal with. So there is still handwavyness to it all.

For myself, I find I can do almost all my work on my ASUS Eee Pad Transformer, a 10" Android tablet with keyboard dock; so much so that it's become my primary machine for most things (which I certainly didn't expect when I got it—I picked it up second hand at around a third of the regular retail price; I never would have paid full for it with my expectations of it at the time). It's got a decent keyboard and marvellous battery life.

Most of my work is done in Ubuntu, installed inside Android via Debian Kit (http://sven-ola.dyndns.org/repo/debian-kit-en.html). From a terminal emulator, I can then run proper versions of Vim, Python, Mercurial, etc. as required, and have it all just work marvellously. (Before going with Debian Kit, I'd had clumsy parboiled editions of Vim, Python and Mercurial.) It's great for web development. Not a particularly speedy machine (the TF700 or even the TF300 would be considerably better than the TF101), but quite sufficient for most things.

I don't believe that this is true, although admittedly I only have anecdotal evidence. I have known several people who otherwise would possibly be alive if they had access to primary care in the earlier stages of their cancers.
I agree with another poster, it is not a great idea to do both the Chicago and the NYC marathon in the same year, especially if it's your first.

Training programs are really dependent on your previous experience. If you're starting as a non-runner (or a once-a-week runner) then your training plan would be much different than someone who is running 5 times a week. Also important to take into account if you're doing it just to do it or doing it to do well.

I used a plan that was based on a Pfitzinger plan. It was helpful (I got a Boston Qualifier on my first marathon), but you need to be quite disciplined. It is high mileage and takes commitment to running 6-7 days a week.

Sort of, kind of. Health care institutions do routinely refuse to treat people - just not when there is an immediate threat to life and limb.

I have a friend (Canadian) who had an internship in the US. He got a major (and quite serious) bout of the flu, and although he was insured (by a Canadian company) absolutely refused to see him until he coughed up a hefty (multi-hundred) deposit - evidently they didn't find the Canadian firm trustworthy enough.

This is a pretty core issue in US healthcare - early-stage care is routinely denied to people, either economically before they walk through the door, or at the door itself. This pushes a lot of health issues to ERs where costs are high and effectiveness reduced.
It's illegal to turn someone away from the hospital. Access to primary care is another story altogether.

Actually, it does refuse to treat people quite regularly. Aside from emergency department, health care providers are generally free to refuse care for patients they believe cannot pay except in the case of a life-threatening emergency.

What this means is that in the USA it's common for people to have to allow earlier-stage, less expensive to treat problems develop into serious problems before finally going into the ED to seek treatment. Which increases all of our health care costs overall. Not only does the problem that eventually gets treated end up being more expensive than it needed to be, but the place where the care is provided is also the most expensive option. And since they don't pay, health care providers are forced to raise everyone else's rates to cover the cost of this unnecessarily expensive care that they had to provide.

Long story short, the range of things that health care providers have to treat is much wider in countries with more socialized systems than it is in the USA. And that is yet another reason why the USA has such enormously high health care costs despite providing poorer quality of care.

And what's the threat model for this protocol, exactly? How many cryptographers have actually studied it? Encrypted transport protocols are notoriously hard to get correct... just look at how many times TLS, SSH, and IPsec have been compromised.

Their abstract mentions little about the algorithms they're actually using. For example, they mention "RSA authentication" but not what authenticated encryption mode they're using (looking at the code, it's encrypt-then-HMAC. At least their MAC comparison function looks constant time-ish)

I don't think the people who created this have any business designing an encrypted transport protocol.

Pinterest’s Founder: Algorithms Don’t Know What You Want
The author's father, Bill, around age 76, never paid taxes while living for decades in the UK, but was still treated, and died there. The author assumes he wouldn't have had care in the U.S. That's wrong. Even though he never held a recognized job (and probably was a tax cheat), as a senior citizen he would probably receive Medicare and as a poor person he would also potentially be supported by Medicaid for any shortfall. Further, his situation is hardly a model for national policy-- why should someone who never worked, yet apparently has well-off, internationally traveling family, be completely subsidized by taxpayers? Why shouldn't Bill or his family face some of the costs for his care?

An interesting side-note on Mandiant's report:

And of course Mandiant's not just releasing this information for fun. Chinese hacking is big business for them. Brad Stone and Michael Riley reported earlier this month for Businessweek that Mandiant's 2012 revenue of more than $100 million represented a 76 percent year-on-year increase. They say they represent 30 percent of the Fortune 100. Mandiant is so dominant in the China-focused counter-espionage game that the New York Times' reporting on the Mandiant report and other sources of information abotu Chinese hacking had to include an awkward disclaimer

I recommend Ubuntu.

The 'right' linux distributions is a balance between customization and getting things done. I used to run slackware, then gentoo, and then finally arch. I learned a ton, but now I'm focused on building great software and I don't want to spend the time emerge -DuNav world, or dealing with packages in the AUR, or even building the software myself.

Short of a few kernel bugs :(graphics drivers), Ubuntu has gotten out of my way and let me build things. Of course, this comes at a price, I no longer concern myself with customizing the entire OS to fit my needs, I just modified the way I work to fit well with vanilla Ubuntu and got on with it.

Coming back to your comment about being sick of Windows and OS X. I would caution you that the grass is not always greener. I used to have this problem where I would switch operating systems completely every 1-2 years and I bounced around from Slackware, to Gentoo, to Arch, to OS X, to Ubuntu, to Windows 7, back to Ubuntu. They all suck, you just want to find the one that sucks the least for what you are trying to do, and Linux might not be the right choice.

At first I thought the writing had taken another hit at NYT and then realized it was an editorial. I don't doubt that for students who show up at college unable to learn, having those students attempt to learn via online teaching would be similarly hard if not impossible for them.

The editorial is worried that 'online college' will disenfranchise those students, but there isn't any evidence to suggest it would. Nor is there any evidence to suggest that online course would suddenly replace teach student interaction in all colleges.

So basically I am left wondering what was the point.

Implying the NHS refuses to treat people?
Isn't that the same thing? Practically speaking, for many people who'd rather be ill than ruin their family with debt.

The thing that gets me is the attitude is that some people don't deserve free(-at-point-of-use) healthcare. For whatever reason; they haven't paid their taxes, or they've made mistakes in life. It seems unspeakably sad to me. Surely a civilised society should help everyone, regardless? It's the humane thing to do. It's as simple as that.

Let's not play with words like that. People in the US get treatment—you even say so later, despite your ominous lead sentence. They just get it later, via the ED, after prevention goes un-performed. That's abominable enough, and that's what we should talk about, not the (false) specter of non-treatment.
