This is under active development on the linker branch: https://github.com/meteor/meteor/tree/linker ! The goal, hopefully coming in one of the next few releases, is to provide package-scoped variables and explicit exports from packages, so that you don't need to rely on globals at all any more.

I mean this with the utmost respect. You're not there yet. Don't get me wrong, these designs are great and 3 years ago I couldn't do anything like what you're doing, but it's not something I would pay for at this moment.

Design #2 in particular, something just feels off after I look at it. Might be inconsistent margins? Lack of focus for my eyes? I think a few more months of practicing and you'd be a great person to hire, but keep working on it.

You're in the home stretch and just have a bit more to go imo.

But then, I've also head "If you have a pet project, don't make it your first project in a new language - you'll end up hating the project, and hating the language", so it's definitely a variable, and arguably much more related to people's learning styles.
I am not sure FB forking OS gives them the ROI. Its a waste of effort for them. FB does not have anything to offer outside of their social network. The Home project is all they have to offer. Nothing more.

Also the tech crowd do they marketing for Google. Goodwill and great services are their marketing tools and that seems to be working very well for them so far. Just look at this site and reddit to see how vehemently people support Google.
Many of the great directors since the late 50's/60's have come from a background in film criticism. Analysis can help a lot. Criticism isn't exclusively about making value judgments.
I wouldn't give >1% of my battery power to an app like this, especially coming from Facebook. Back when I used the Facebook app and Facebook it drained too much of the battery.

Now if feedly launches something like this, where the photos and content come from RSS feeds, you can sign me up for beta testing. You could take over and kill Chameleon, Apex, Go, and Trebuchet easily.
Your final paragraph was Ebert's great value for me: there are no shortage of critics who can tell me interesting things about the canon of great films; there are almost none amongst them who can also meet less elevated fare on its own ground.
Hate arguing/debating verbally? Tell us what you think about our App idea
IMHO, there are plenty alternatives out there for those who have facebook fatigue and are looking for something simpler, e.g. Path or even Google+. If it's beautifully executed it might have its room to breathe, but I think you'll struggle to mantain a healthy amount of active users on the long term. Although this might not be an issue if you are happy with it being a niche product.
We took inspiration from the great work Tom and Mike did on Meteorite; several of 0.6.0's features are essentially versions of what Meteorite let you do, except for much more deeply integrated into the core. For now, Meteorite is still a great tool for installing packages from Atmosphere into your app... a fully integrated third-party package repository is in the works but isn't part of 0.6.0.
I don't heavily use twitter because I hate the whole concept of it. I feel extremely limited on Twitter and never liked the "fixed" layout in the middle of the screen. Also, I don't think they let you pass money/manage your friend's calendar/post on someone's profile (not tweet @handle where it leaves a copy on your profile? correct me if I'm wrong).

Not trying to turn this into a feature fest, but these are simple little things I feel people would find extremely convenient and eventually love.
> why more smaller and medium sized businesses haven't banded together to form some kind of larger entity to combat these trolls

Well, one reason is that it may be illegal. We have antitrust laws that prohibit companies that make up a large percentage of an industry from coordinating in certain ways... this is an edge case but might be a problem.

But the main reason is just that it is prohibitively expensive. It's really, really expensive to fight a patent troll, and if you win then they turn out to be a shell company with no assets so you can't be reimbursed for your costs (and probably wouldn't be eligible for that anyway in the US). So for small companies, flying under the radar and hoping they won't notice you seems to be the way to go.
I think Paul Allen actually looks younger now.

Facebook has a lot to offer and its design is showing to be top notch. I think based on numbers they are a 'mobile' company, but all this fluff and desire to sandbox them from the others just proves that they aren't competing, but just being thrifty.

It largely refers to the complexity of the layout. HTML and CSS were made for styling pages of text with headings, images, perhaps a table here or there. But now people want to make application UIs with fluid layouts with them.
Are you warming up properly? I get the same stabbing pain in my elbows when I try to bench press anything over 115 lb, and an experienced powerlifter friend suggested it might be because I'm not adequately warming up my joints before I start -- it can be tight muscles pulling on tendons, or a bunch of things. I haven't had a chance to experiment, unfortunately, as I injured my wrist (not while lifting) and am waiting for that to heal, but...

To warm up for squats, try some or all of the following:

- using a rowing machine

- running for a little bit

- "high knee" jogging -- on the spot, lifting your knees up to your chest

- doing lots of bodyweight squats, then lots of squats with just the bar

- kettlebell swings (making sure to bend your knees and throw your butt back at the bottom of the swing)

- cycling (taking care with knee position if you get knee pain there -- I get knee pain cycling if I throw my knees out sideways; trying to lift them vertically works much better)
Thanks for your opinion, I'm always trying my best.
It's easy to see what's happening if everything is written in one file. It's hard if your callback are fired from and/or go into minimized library code you don't control or don't want to debug. You may have your own pyramid, but it's really sitting on someone else's pyramid.
That wasn't my point exactly. What I meant by fair price was a price that would be somehow accommodated to a market. If someone makes $20 a day, you can't expect him to pay $40 for a game (or $5 for a 30min TV show). And sellers won't risk setting a lower price for certain market ...even if it meant bigger income in the end. It's a risky business since Internet is a global market by default.. whatever content providers try to do about it.

I think there must be some schism here between people with a design background and people with a programming background, or something. As someone who is more of a programmer, if I can think of a way to specify what I want unambiguously, and my language doesn't let me use that method to actually specify the computer's behavior, then the language is broken.
As an educator, I appreciate technology that provides students a quicker way to get feedback, but this software only reinforces students' frustration with essays: no one reads them except the professor. Most are written to be read by one person. Artists are able to share their work, but for most majors that require writing, assignments are meant to be forgotten. This is exactly the reason why students who major in these fields graduate without a portfolio of their work.

My husband and I developed https://chalktips.com/ to solve this problem. We wanted to make essays and school work for college students engaging and shareable. Students publish booklets and slideshows as part of their assignment. Students can tweet or share their work in Facebook or Tumblr.

Last semester as part of the final, I had professionals from different fields comment on student work, and the feedback from students was amazing.

Using AI to comment on essays might be efficient and probably comparable to having ONE person grade an assignment. But it doesn't make use of the power of community. It also does not address the fundamental problem with essays: after it's graded, so what?

We currently have 1,400 users with more than 2,500 booklets and slideshows published. Students are embracing the platform. Of course, I'm a community college teacher without the clout of MIT professors. But we're hopeful that more students start demanding that they are given assignments that have utility after the course is over.

GetJar's been trying the third-party / bundled app store schtick for a while, but the money in this corner of the world is in driving application installs through advertising. Here's an example from an industry news site:

http://www.gomonews.com/even-more-ad-funding-getjar-monetise...
> The easiest example is this: We're in 2010. X has been married to Y since 2009; In the DB it would be represented exactly like that: a "from" time period, no "to" time period, meaning "it is still true now".

This is not a fact database. This is:

X Married Y 2009-01-01
X Divorced Y 2013-01-01

This way you can represent any number of facts:

X Married Y 2013-02-01

Think how convoluted it would be for you to represent X and Y marrying again in your example, if not outright wrong (because you update/delete information).
I understand that in the context of professional applications of statistics, such as when writing research papers, professional statisticians often use uninformative priors. I'm not talking about professional statistics, and I'm not talking about the supposed debate between "frequentists" and "Bayesians." I'm talking about how an individual lives their life, sample size: one. The Earth doesn't have enough resources to answer every question of cause and effect that will come up in your life. For the vast majority of these questions, you will use a three pound mass of mostly fat to determine causation. Teaching that mass of fat that credible mechanisms of action and pre-existing information provides prior context for evaluating newly received information helps it not to discard valuable insight.

If you provided me research that showed, weakly, that using racial epithets did not affect a politicians chances of re-election (in relevant countries and scenarios, etc.), I would not discard my existing prior that it does, and I would be right to do so. But I would keep it in mind for the next round of evidence in the event I could be wrong.

In this case, no professional statistican is going to perform a Bayesian analysis to tell you the probability that making yourself stronger will cause a decrease in your all-cause mortality. No one is going to aggregate that information and tell YOU what YOU need to do, in this case as in so many others. But there is enough information that you should nonetheless, and this study, like it or not, does add to that information, not detract from it.

P.S.: I disagree with using uninformative priors except when they are warranted. This is how alternative medicine masquerades as "Evidence-based Medicine."

> I think what set Ebert apart is that he consistently judged films in the context of their ambitions.

A great example of this was his review of The Human Centipede. He said that the film perfectly accomplished its ambitions, but those ambitions were so dark, so far outside the norm that his rating system was simply incapable of properly rating the film. In his own words[1]:

> I am required to award stars to movies I review. This time, I refuse to do it. The star rating system is unsuited to this film. Is the movie good? Is it bad? Does it matter? It is what it is and occupies a world where the stars don't shine.

I'm not sure why you're being voted down. I've also seen some criticism, especially with respect to older (+40) people causing serious injury to their vertebra with the loads from correctly performed lifting. Lifting weights is not for every body, no matter how well you follow directions.
In some systems the problem is that you can never be guaranteed that the after_commit hook will always run. This is especially true in multi-server systems where the cache, database and front-end servers are separated. The front-end server can update the database and then completely die (power outage, networking, reboot) before talking to the cache.

On the other hand I can see how you would want to drive out bugs instead of just sweeping them under the carpet with auto-healing...

Why thought? By all we know, it would be.

On most algorithmic benchmarks Go is 2-3 or more times slower than C/C++.

And parsing something like a large C++ codebase with a GC language like Go would result in tons of memory used (and slowness).

Heck, even Go compiling Go programs gets OOM'ed sometimes in Linux.
There's no direct SEO benefit per se, just the mitigation of duplicate content that can be introduced when an m.dot sub-domain (for the same content) is incorrectly implemented (i.e. not using rel=canonical/rel=alternate and other indexation directives). There's also the 'crawl once, show everywhere' benefit if you have a single front-end representation of the code. Introducing an m.dot version of your site requires Google et.al. to consider whether to use their separate mobile crawlers to crawl the content that has been created for the mobile experience.

Also, transclusion never really took off, so traditional web pages are different to an app's page state, which might be initialized from computation by composed modules on the backend and a series of asynchronous updates in frontend.

CSS has the cascade and @import and background-image links for example, but historically the document was typically one text file and some pictures; an app's UI is combined from many source files and subordinate resources. CSS works pretty well for declaratively styling a monolithic document, but it is not entirely satisfactory for styling the UI of complex app such as Facebook.
This is awesome, something I'd love to deploy as a simple backend for a mobile app. It would be great if this could be integrated into a known high-performance web framework/server combo so I could deploy it on AWS/Heroku/etc. I currently use Rails and set up RESt endpoints that make a JSON API from my Postgres data but it would be much better in many cases to use MongoDB and make REST calls through a tool like this.
How to hide $8.3 billion
> "You can do squats safely without a spotter..."

Just to add that 'safely' in this context means that if you fail at a rep, the cage will catch the bar. Obviously it can't do anything to point out bad form as a spotter, or even a mirror, could.

I use the squat cage at the gym I go to and I wish they had more mirrors. A pair of angled ones so I can see a side-on view would be really helpful.
Right, but it's all about the incentives. If they did that now, there would be a big backlash against Google and Android. However, with Facebook leading the way, it could become a plausible scenario to see some similar behavior from Google.

Hopefully not, though. I hope this whole thing is a disaster for Facebook.
Yeah, the real problem for me with the nested case is error handling. It's all manual, and the default (unless you're very careful) is that errors do not propagate and will instead simply be lost and ignored.

I mean, I gathered some things. And yes, I watched the large video (after some buffering issues) scrolled through the bullets of features and let it sink in.

I wasn't drawn in enough to read all of the text, but I did take in the headlines and subheadings. And form all of that I left with the impression that it was either:

a. some sort of app for Android (standalne)
b. an OS (some kind of lite version of Android with just Facebook social features) and/or;
c. a phone that Facebook were making with HTC;

... or some combination thereof.

I understand now that it's a homescreen replacement. But that certainly wasn't the impression I left with.
+1 for kettlebells. They are particularly great since they are really economical (mostly since you do not need many). I've been using a 35lb one for my morning workouts. The coverage you can get with a kettlebell in a short amount of time just can't be beat.

Polio for all it's complexity has one root cause, a viral infection. The poliovirus was first isolated in 1909, by which time the concept of vaccination was relatively well understood. It still took decades to get a working safe vaccine, after root cause, and generalized course of action were known.

Cancer as a whole has none of those characteristics.

There was a recent study which found that running only increased life expectancy if you were running 10-20miles (or km, memory hazy) per week. More than that and life expectancy decreased again.

There have been huge advances in, for one, breast cancer treatment over the last 15-20 years.

When you say "for what?" I can only point to the aggressive variant of BC my wife was diagnosed with 3 years ago. A death sentence literally a few years ago, she is now recovered and has good prospects for a long and productive life.

This is only possible because of the "fortune" of research thrown at her particular form of cancer in recent years; but it goes deeper than that. Because of the expense of the (relatively new) treatment and limited history of efficacy/results, her specialist had to personally argue the case for her to receive the treatment with our local health authority (I am in the UK btw so perhaps this is different to the US).

As more women (hopefully) successfully recover with the use of this treatment, resistance to spend on research will hopefully fade in the face of such positive results.

From the brightest cancer researchers in the world down to the people working in your local chemotherapy unit, progress is being made at a better rate than ever before. It's just very hard work, and I don't think money and fame really come into it - there are easier ways to achieve that:)
