No, people should not, and do not, have the right to do whatever the heck they want with their property, especially when what they're doing puts other people's lives in danger. That's why we have laws against things like drinking and driving.

That's not to say that I think Glass should be outlawed while driving. But lawmakers certainly have the right and responsibility to question whether it should be.
Not the first time a gel has been tried, but admittedly what you're thinking of is a different concept.

edit: meaning that with gel, maybe the problem is actually a UI problem. :)
My argument against showing no pricing is that general consumers are similar enough that you can bucket them. They want to see pricing. And they're smaller dollar values, so you can't afford to take the time to customize a quote for them.

Enterprise buyers are used to the effort to get a quote. And they want to feel special. Combine that with how different they are (is enterprise 100 users, or 10,000?), and you can see why they aren't sufficiently similar to treat in one plan. The high dollar value also means you can afford to have a high touch sales process.

Normal customers often shop on price. Enterprise customers often don't. You're selling to the normals, and sending a signal to enterprise folks that you can handle a customer of their size.
Who says Google Glass will always cost $1,000+? If it or anything similar catches on the prices will drop like a rock (see mobile phones as an example).
CloudFlare doesn't proxy HTML pages, by default, because so many of them are dynamically generated. You have to add a page rule to proxy HTML too.
In Silicon Valley, nobody has kids until their late 30s, if ever.

Edit: the post I replied to originally said something to the effect that finding engineers without kids by age 30 would be statistically difficult. Which is false in Silicon Valley. That said, it's also not atypical in Silicon Valley to remain single well into your 30s.

I believe the idea is the "trade" was forced. Choice on when and how to dispose of one's property is what having property is all about.

If Google Glass crashes you just see whatever you would normally be looking at, the display is transparent.
Don't forget Samsung produce more than just phones, even if Tizen doesn't take off for phones, Samsung do a lot of other embedded Linux stuff.

As for Tizen's success on phones, apart from lower end devices (where you probably don't want many custom apps just a solid base, symbian style), I see the appeal of all you're devices (TV, Fridge, Car, etc) running a consistent UI with plenty of magic and auto-configuration running behind the scenes and I'm not seeing many low end devices with Android yet.
Are we talking about entrepreneurs or engineers?
As I've said before, maybe people should actually try one of these things before they assume they know how they work. I've seen them before. I've used them. One of my professors does research with them. In particular: A person displaying contextual task information - like GPS navigation - with a head-mounted display spends less time switching contexts, is less distracted by context switches, and is generally more focused on the task, than someone using a text-to-speech display, a piece of paper, or a conventional display. They are able to complete tasks more quickly, more precisely, and more accurately. That's not intuition or experience; that's data. PDF: http://dmrussell.net/CHI2010/docs/p1695.pdf
My experience with parents was, that they became more serios about their career. But I can't say they became really good at their job.

Probably they became better than they were before, but not as good as I wished them to be...

Anyway, I don't like to work with people when they get to serious about stuff.
I agree, here is my related take on the meaning of "hello world" http://www.win-vector.com/blog/2008/02/hello-world-an-instan...
Interesting. Quite possible since the attitude adopted by Larry Page is the same one Jobs reveled in: 'I know better than anyone, even millions of users.'

This is in contrast to Google's previous data driven method of decision making.
He lost me when he said you have to use the Dart editor to find references. First of all, the whole idea was to bring JavaScript as Dart into an IDE with similar functionality of a C# or Java IDE, such as refactoring, which works like a charm. Second of all, there is a plugin for Sublime 2 http://news.dartlang.org/2013/02/using-dart-with-sublime-tex... and I'm sure there will be more for other editors. But I kept reading and it became clear he hasn't tested tree-shaking or doesn't understand it. Then he says tree shaking is slow, probably not realizing that converting to JavaScript is not a regular build step, and it's not slow. For development, I code and debug on the Dart VM, which has almost no build time.
It's great to see Etsy hire more female engineers! But really, they had so few female engineers to begin with (3) that the 500% figure is a bit sensationalist
"The recovery from the Great Depression began instantly with Roosevelt’s policy shift, in March 1933"

uhm... no.... more like 1946 - if the recovery had happened before WWII then we wouldn't have had to ration and do all the massaging to get the economy up to war production.

Are Programmers smarter than Lawyers?
Politicians don't use facts to make laws, they use irrational fear. If they used facts, we would all have healthcare, no guns, prostitution and marijuana would be legal, but high fructose corn syrup, and diet soda would be illegal. And we certainly wouldn't have to take off our shoes to board and airplane.
What does the rest of the world have to do with my comment?

Great points. I think that helps me fill in a few gaps in what Samsung might be thinking here.

Google has threatened that Samsung lose support if they fork Android. They might or might not actually do it - Samsung is a major Android player. The threat is still enough that Samsung have chosen not to try forking Android.

However, Samsung still wants more control. The solution is to use Tizen with Android compatibility to try and wrest that control from Google, but while still acting within the boundaries Google have given them. If Tizen doesn't take off then Samsung can just fall back on Google Android. If Tizen does take off, then they now have enough weight to push Google around as they wish.

Google isn't worried about Tizen as they believe that Samsung will not be able to out code them, and that Android apps running on Tizen will not be as good as Android apps running on Android. While I'm sure that Google would prefer if Samsung wasn't trying out Tizen, they believe they have a strong enough bet that Tizen will fail and Samsung will come crawling back anyway.

So the whole situation now makes a lot of sense from both Google and Samsung's side. From this we can probably take away that Tizen will get the best hardware first to give it more chance of taking off. Also, Google is likely to try and add new services in future Android versions that will make it more difficult to run Android apps on other platforms. Interesting and falsifiable, in a year's time we can see if these predictions are true!

Anybody think I've got way on/off track here?
a mindful / "zen" meditation would ask you to return to the state of being (i.e. not thinking) after you've noticed that you're thinking, but that's not the technique the scientists are suggesting in the OP, nor what the parent comment is talking about.

Searching for a topic to think about is the kind of creative process they're trying to encourage, and indeed it's not unlike a brief bit of mindfulness, in this case followed by a lengthy period of introspection. Assuming that the introspection doesn't fall into a negative spiral of memories and emotions, this is reasonably mindful in itself.
Another thing that Facebook is doing is running a background service on your phone to track your location.

I went to a restaurant. Didn't open the Facebook app while I was there. When I accessed Facebook on my desktop, the first thing it showed me was an ad to like that restaurant.
Check Android market shares on smartphones all over the world and see what you get. Google escaped Search scrutiny in US by buying off lots of politicians with tens of millions in lobbying but they'd get crushed if they blackmailed Samsung over Tizen.
Would that AngularJS be able to produce a sequence diagram of it's data-bindings in action!

I wrote a little bit about how the RGB AngularJS fiddle is near enough to a complete tool to introduce a newbie to web development, aside from the fact that you cannot see what AngularJS is doing in action. My ask was for a tool like Bustle for DBus, which generates sequence diagrams, showing what happened. AngularJS & other data-bound systems ought also have this output!

Great project thebramp. :)
For one thing, our solution is open source and has been described in an academic paper. Also, Chronon cannot record Scala or Groovy programs. ChroniclerJ has no such issues as it operates through byte code rewriting. Moreover, the technique we have implemented can be easily ported to other VMs such as the .Net CLR. Chronon does not execute code during replay so I am not sure how they are guaranteeing that the state of the program when it crashed can be reproduced. Chronicler records sources of nondeterminism while allowing execution of the deterministic parts of the program and thus guarantees that you will get to the exact state at which the program crashed.
Doesn’t it seem kind of crooked/retarded that Google’s trying to screw people over trying to implement H.264, developed as an open standard, with patents they have FRAND obligations on, and at the same time they’re trying to promote the technically inferior VP8 essentially for no reason, since it turns out it has the same patent problems as H.264, and they’re upset that Nokia doesn’t want to go along with this?

Google can’t solve the problem of H.264 being patent-encumbered by claiming they have the only sandwich made of piss-proof bread when really it’s a shit sandwich made with bread at least a few companies are able to piss on, and Google is actively starting a pissing war and provoking companies to try to piss on it.
Would full document or key compression help MongoDB?
I think it's a question of priorities and managing a schedule.

My time (3rd year as a CS undergrad) is split between coursework, 12 h/week as a student programmer, student representative in various university/departmental committees, and sitting on the board in a couple student socities (social and/or political).

I still have a couple hours every other evening to relax by watching YouTube videos or reading webcomics/HN/LWN. If I prioritized reading a book over that, I probably could read a book.
me too - equally, sitting staring into space was an invitation to a "you look like you have time to..." from my Dad.

That's my impression too, and the last time I remember anyone four-squaring was a long time ago. I think Facebook and Instagram ate their lunch.

We already have all the laws we need. Unsafe driving, for any reason, is punishable.

If we need a law for eye-mounted screens we'll need another law for intra-ocular implants, and exceptions for eye-taps for medical purpose, and another law forbidding thinking about fantasy football, and so forth.

Too many laws doesn't achieve the objective, it just causes lawyers.
With all due respect, Doudowa, you should be able to get this level of basic information by browsing business sites online. I'm puzzled by your questions because you mention that you have both studied Computer Science (so you should be relatively tech savvy) and that you have time to surf online.

If you feel that you have skills are that valuable and can get you paid, then start off on freelancing sites such as ODesk or Elance.

They didn't have that, or at least not recent enough backups.

American employers relied increasingly on independent contractors, temporary workers, contract employees and freelancers to cut costs.

I think the article approaches the story from a particular vantage point. But for me personally, as freelancer and a substantial earner, I tend to not identify with the idea that we are part and parcel abused. It may be what I came from (poor farm family) that gives me a different perspective. But I have found corporate America to be fairly generous, you just have to ask. Which brings me to the above quote, while I do belive employers utilize independent contractors in some instances to cut cost, what I have found in many of the situations I have been in, is that it is a tool used to identify cost up front and to mitigate risk, usually companies are willing to pay a small uptick in cost to reduce a huge downsize risk and employees and employes health both represent substantial risks to a company.

I think where we as individuals go wrong is in charging rates similar to those of employees and then taking on the risk the companies does not want to shoulder on top of it. When the reality is, we should be asking to be compensated for that risk (just as insurance companies are) and we should be willing to walk away from a company that unreasonably expects up to take on their downside bet with no upside of our own.

What I don't believe that high earning potential people need is collective bargaining. That being said, what the article discusses sounds like they are more of a health care co-op than a employment union bargaining with employers and I am all for that. Health care co-ops help us offload that risk onto a proper entity, employers where never really the correct entity to deal with that risk in the first place.

That's the whole point. There is no central authority; all computers are on the same level. Each computer does the calculations independently, and then they compare results. The computers in the majority either get the minority computers to accept the results or they somehow override the minority computers. I'm not sure how they negotiate, for example, low-level hardware access, but that's just an implementation issue.

Take a look at the Bitcoin protocol. It's a very impressive example of many different computers agreeing upon something precisely, despite the fact that many parties have a vested interest in disrupting the Bitcoin network.

I think the vendors could already charge the batteries faster. A Tesla supercharger charges 40/85kWh in LiIon battery capacity in 30 minutes (from empty, it gets harder to push charge in as they get full). They use off the shelf batteries.

But the dirty little secret is of course that it's not necessary. You need one day of battery life, then people get home and charge it by their nightstand. Similar with the Tesla, it has enough range to get through five times the average American commute, and the majority of people just charge at home when they sleep.

Bandaging peoples irrational fears might simply not be a very viable business model.

I hate being referred to as a rockstar developer as a male. I couldn't agree more. I want more engineers, not tokens. If I can work with competent people, I am happy. Even if it's an all male or all female workplace.
I've heard this argument a few times: "It charges so fast that the density doesn't matter".

What often gets missed is that for it to charge fast, you need to provide a lot of power, a lot more than any current changer and laughably more than any inductive system can provide. Lithium Ion batteries can already max out the power offered by the 10W charger that comes with the iPad and charging off computer USB is often slow (USB is current limit). See Telsa's car charge times on normal wall outlets vs superchargers for another example.

To really reap the benefits of this quick charge technology you either need an infrastructure of ~1000W DC chargers throughout the world or carry something about the size of a desktop computer power supply with you at all times.

The Chinese approach is similar to the approach taught in an entrepreneurship class I'm taking at the University of Michigan right now (ENGR 520). They teach a variety of tools and models, but most of them revolve around how to identify the high-value-capture activities in an industry segment, evaluate the barriers to entry and founder capability sets, come up with a strategy to get into the industry, and calculate whether or not the business is worth starting. For the purposes of the class, they encourage us to assume the business implementation (technology) will work, since the point is to figure out whether or not the business is worth doing in the first place.
I know you did because you are probably emotional about it :) You may not be part of the majority but I've lived and traveled in Europe all my life and I can assure you that it is not a stereotype, probably not even 70% but more than 50%. it is a fact that politics, languages, history, cultures and lack of cohesion are barriers for expansion. Most poeple, besides uk, germany and scandinavia, in Europe work less and complain much more than in america (also because they have more weight,rights & insurances). How can you solve a problem if you fail to acknowledge it first? If Europe is still not a startup hub, that's the reason why. So I welcome the initiative which is a proof of a will of change and good analytics.
That metaphor applies to people who care, there's still a lot of people using incredibly weak passwords.
We're talking about hiring employees, not finding co-founders. The question is what the pool of engineers looks like, not the pool of entrepreneurs. It's quite reasonable to believe that the latter will postpone having children much longer than the former.
