I'm red-green colorblind (deficient would probably be a better term).

What I've heard fairly often is the percentage ranges from 8-12% of males.
I think you are right, economic factors have made a big difference. The Yen, the liquidity trap, the disproportionately old population and resulting humongous government debt are the main culprit.

It is impressive that Toyota has manage to survive.

People say that Japan is good at hardware but not at software. I own multiple Samsung products and their software is downright embarrassing yet the company is thriving.

They all have excellent hardware but if I for example use the 'smart' part of my 'smart TV' it is unresponsive, crashy and generally a terrible experience. My Samsung blu-ray player takes seconds to respond to button presses and integration between my Samsung devices which is promoted heavily by them is not reliable and the user interface is terrible.

Yet Samsung manages to dominate and actually make decent devices when the mostly rely on other's software (Google).

IMO the difference between Korea and Japan can be explained by economic factors not technical ability.

I do think there's a fine line between being resilient and becoming unfazed by failure (the latter of which is bad). As the article points out, failure is important as a learning tool, but by the same token, trying to avoid failure isn't necessarily a bad thing. In fact, startups that consciously navigate uncertainty efficiently and mitigate risk as much as possible tend to be much more sustainable.

Sometimes I think entrepreneurs err a bit too much on the side of being too 'okay' with failing and pivoting (buzz word), but I'm a big believer in planning, executing, reflecting, and repeating. Sure, for some things you just have to jump straight in, but I think caution, thought, and preparation all go a long way.

It's a good idea but any cut above this will make the lottery very expensive. National lotteries can pay out 50% because they have a monopoly and the remainder usually goes towards a community project.

Isn't hypervolatility for an official currency worse than hyperinflation?
It will vary some between colorblind individuals. I can see the difference, both at apple and 37 signals. I do appreciate when people use a texture/hashmarks or shapes to differentiate as well.

I struggle immensely with the bitcoinity charts though. red, green, look nearly indistinguishable on the depth chart to me. And when I can tell a difference, I couldn't tell you if it was red or green. Just that it's a different shade than another bar.
And if you happen to be running ubuntu 12.04, then keep in mind that apt-get install ruby-bundler will pull in the wrong version, so just install the ruby1.9.3 package, and install bundler, posix-spawn, therubyracer and execjs via 'sudo gem install'. After that the youtube comments work just fine.

Took me only 3 hours to figure it out being a total ruby noob. So easy.
I will probably increase fees (nothing to exorbitant) to covers costs if this takes off. I don't think it will require to much to run unless it becomes insanely popular. At that time, I will open up more lotteries for different payout ranges to make it more beneficial for costs.

Samsung has long bought in additional panels on the spot market in addition to using their own production. The higher end TVs tended to get their own panels and I think they found it wiser to mop up any bargains in the spot market rather than let competitors undercut them drastically.

I think that shows:

1) How many TV's Samsung is selling.
2) How desperate Sharp is for cash.

What isn't clear from that article is whether these are high or low end product and how profitable it is.
A total failure (not an acq-hire) is bad for your reputation. The acq-hire gets you a Director or VP-level position at the acquirer even though it leaves your employees screwed. Actual run-out-of-money business failure makes it hard to get funded again. VC is a regressive reputation economy in which no one likes you if they perceive others as not liking you, so actually having to close a business down makes you unfundable.

Problem is plenty of people aren't reasonable, or may be reasonable but refuse to apply reason to some discussions; you can probably thank religion for that.

It is entirely possible that future generations will look back on the debate and just laugh at it as we laugh at people who used to burn witches. You will certainly find people today who would think it was disgusting and offensive to even think of supporting gay marriage and these people have some considerable % of the money and votes so you can't really dismiss them.

So the purpose should not be to enforce views, but to enforce certain actions. So you can be as racist as you want , but you can't refuse somebody a job on the basis of race.

Interesting that the "RSS" status link goes to rss.atom and is in fact an atom feed. RSS has more meaning I guess.
Hmm, the premise is scientific, if you want to check my sources. I think you're misunderstanding the difference between the pre-motor cortex and sensory cortex. You're right, the sensory cortex is the part of the brain that just "simulates" what you see. The pre-motor cortex, however, actually "primes" your motor cortex for action. Your brain is actually practicing actions you see. That's new research, but totally verifiable if you take an intro-level college neurobiology class. The idea isn't "think before you play games" so much as, "whoa, new research suggest games affect our brains like this--let's think about that!" It's a celebration, not a condemnation. No one's saying TF2 is evil: people are saying, "hey, let's use other parts of our brains and see if that affects us differently," because we tend to use certain parts more than others. That's me as much as you.

Besides, what's wrong with thinking before we eat? As the old Chinese proverb says, "let your food be your medicine." In both gaming and eating, science shows that it's legit to pay attention, to be "mindful" of what we're doing. That's okay. I mean, what's the counter-argument? Don't pay attention to what you eat? = P

"Your view is not objectively correct. To insist otherwise is fascism."

it's safe to say I'm not sure what you mean.

certainly if someone says 'we spend 20% of federal outlays on welfare' and I say 'no, it's about half that', one or both, are objectively wrong.

anyway, what do you mean?
Its far from "easily". Its not like you could just fork the code and run the benchmarks game - you would not only have to setup the environment for all languages, but also understand the not-so-well documented idiosyncrasies and deficiencies of the implementation (hardcoded paths? seriously?)

It doesn't seem like the code was originally written to be understood and modified by others and its not fully documented. As such your claim that its simple to fork it isn't really valid. (However I'm willing to admit the possibility that the configuration complexity is not easily avoidable)

I agree that its far from easy to write a benchmarks game, setup a test environment and invest oh-so-many CPU cycles into running the tests periodically. But I wouldn't go around telling people that forking the original is easy either - that would be very misleading.

Much will have to be done to improve the current engine to make it easier to fork. I'm seriously considering doing that (or alternatively making a new benchmarks game from scratch with the intent of making it easy to configure and fork)
My overall problem is that a lot of modern web development trends undermine the reasons web became so popular in the first place.

Linking is an easy example. Something that didn't require any "extra" effort now requires "correct" usage of some framework and extra effort. But there are many other things as well.
As a heavy etherpad user, absolutely.

Etherpad is optimized for text, while Ace (the editing widget CodeShare.io uses) is built for code. It has syntax highlighting, folding, automatic indentation, etc.

It looks like Etherpad Lite may be using Ace, but I don't immediately see a way to turn on the nice programmer-y features.

Really great to see more articles on dtrace recently. The one feature I was missing from them all, is a way to sort and parse dtrace logs programmatically. Since dtrace can dump method calls out-of-order, some sorting is necessary to see the correct program flow.

So here's a start: dtrace-json

It's in IcedCoffeeScript but could easily be adapted to Ruby or another language. I used it to debug a native iOS module for a Titanium Mobile app. HTH others as much as it did me!

Short answer: no.

Why Wired would publish an article with this title is pretty obvious, but for those of you who don't read through, there's absolutely nothing to see here. Resources continue to be invested in the project.

Everything Google has said on the matter indicates that they know that they would piss off too many people if the functionality was reduced or went away - and that the grievance would be real, from their perspective. It's far more likely at this point, based on everything we've seen (and that this article links to) that it will be integrated more heavily with + and hangouts and talk. Your phone number isn't going away.
Flagged as fake. This story is an IReport, which means it's user submitted, and it has zero sources.

Getting hired is easy. I got hired at Google, which is supposedly uber-selective. Getting taken seriously is annoyingly difficult even with minor mistakes.

Now that I'm 29 and have had 6 jobs, I really don't want to keep changing. I'll gladly bolt if I end up with an awful manager, bait-and-switch hiring, or any of the other nonsense that we put up with in this industry, but there's something to be said for a 5+ year fit. I really don't want another 6-month fling. Any idiot can get "a job"; getting the right one, one that comes with some credibility and autonomy, is important.

It seems that most people, after a startup fails, end up in the shitpile applying for bullshit subordinate roles where they might get to write 5 lines of new code per day in the vain hope that one day, several years later, The Boss might throw them a bone and give them a real project.

Most SV companies I've dealt with seemed not to have their act together. A couple were pretty cool, but one told me to expect 5 phone screens (I bowed out; don't have time for that shit at my age) and one required signing a full-on non-compete to take a coding test! This prima donna shit gets old.

Now, nitpicking: When the badges move, the speed is not realistic. Of course, that's only natural, because it's just an update to its new position, it's not actual motion. But it's still jarring to see buses zooming across 3 blocks in 5 seconds. :)

Would it be possible to visualize the position update in a different way, to better suggest it's just a position update, not actual motion? I'm thinking, leave the badge in its old place temporarily, make a new badge that moves quickly to the new place, and leave a faint low-contrast or transparent "trail" connecting the two. Once the new badge is in the updated position, remove the old badge and the trail.

Basically, the whole transition should be much quicker, and clearly indicate it's an update, not actual motion.

I don't mean any of this to sound like a personal attack, so please don't take it that way. I'm just trying to show you the other side of your argument.

Let's pretend I agree with Prop 8 (I don't, with the exception of what ChuckMcM mentioned below). Clearly you feel strongly about it, enough to avoid a company on the sole basis there is a leader there who disagrees with you, someone you may or may not work directly for or with on a daily basis. If I were a hard-line conservative and I knew that about you, I would be terrified to work for you. I have no idea what you might if you come across a blog post, a random tweet, or something else after we've been working together. Surely if you're willing to write off an entire company due to a single $1,000 donation (the line of reasoning goes..), you might be willing to fire me over a mundane tweet about a controversial issue you feel strongly about. This is to say nothing of the huge nebulous area about if I apply for a job working directly for you and we both know we are at polar political extremes.

Ideally, there would be a clear demarcation between public/professional lives and personal lives. I don't care what my coworkers believe in, vote for, or donate to. I hope the same respect is afforded to me.

I'm pretty sure some beliefs actually ruin lives (sexism, racism, homophobia, etc.). Do you just accept all of them as being "weird and wacky"? Shouldn't we draw the line somewhere? Even the great thinkers in ethics like Kant or John Stuart Mills draw the line somewhere, each in their own way... but both utlitarian and kantian ethics would agree that preventing sexuality equality is unethical.

I'm not implying that they are using the bombing for financial gain, however it is clear that horrific(and great, positive) events correlate with a certain spike in revenue in the news industry.
What I am proposing is charity.
Suppose event X creates Y dollars in ad revenue from it's initial spike in traffic. This would be a donated percentage of that money. Let's not forget that reputation is a key factor for creating loyal users.

If one had to choose between news service A vs news service B, knowing that choosing A has the implication of assisting those in need, people are going to choose A.

My only advice is to pay your nanny salary rather than hourly. You will get way more quality candidates. Also, try sitter city in addition to care.com.
Yeah, but seriously, why would you want to link to a particular state in a desktop-style application? Especially if the intent of the app is to be used by a single user working with private data.

Take google docs. During any given session there could be thousands of different states the app is in at any one time, such as certain formatting options being selected, different popover or dropdown menus shown, or the content in the document itself changing. There'd be no point in providing a different URL for each one of those states.

I agree the Canada is suffering from brain drain, but I don't agree that the big issue is that we are not educating people well enough. The University of Waterloo has one of the most respected CS/Software Engineering/Computer Engineering programs out there. The issue I believe exists is that a lot of the top end grads are being attracted to the valley or other large companies because those are seen as the most attractive jobs.

Until recently it was difficult for companies staying in Canada to get the kind of investments that people were getting in the valley. Getting investments has been getting easier for Canadian companies in recent years and I think this is the primary reason why we are seeing the startup scene start to grow.
