I think that's fine with PEP8. I'm not 100% on how to name things that can be abbreviated. I dislike using img, pwd, tmp or similar in my code, but js or id is fine and I often use db or app, but I don't feel happy about it for some reason.
This interesting. Owning Glass, I can assure you that of is possible to maintain eye contact while viewing content. Depending on the amount of cognition needed to process the content, this perceived conversation might be broken.
I don't see that being much of an issue. When you're out in public, most expectations of privacy are gone anyways.
I think the reason his messaging is effecting is because he's being judgmental. Maybe he does it naturally, maybe it's on purpose, but I think if he used wishy-washy language, nuancing his points to tell people that some of their consumerism is okay, that it would hurt his ability to deliver his message.

I think there is a side-effect to this, where people see what MMM is doing and take his advise to the extremes, failing to full think through their own personal situation. These sort of teachings tend to build some cult-ish/guru-type followings, but I think for the vast majority of people, the messages resonate on some level that allows them to either think about their spending choices more, or cut back.

I see what he ultimately advocates as more of a "think about how you're spending your money" rather than "don't spend money".

It surprises me how much the closing paragraph sounds like certain elements of Buddhist philosophy.
The photo quality is pretty awful, but obviously that's just a technical issue.

I agree that smart phones are a clumsy hack, but so are glasses you talk to.

Many years ago I speculated about something like Google Glass built into your eye (contact lens would be better, that didn't occur to me, oddly enough, especially since I wear contacts) that would somehow respond both to your thoughts or sub-vocalizations AND more importantly react to events proactively. That's less of a kludge.

It's a pretty convincing take on the product concept -- it surprised me.
You can review the video you've taken. I'm not sure if the timeline cards support the video HTML tag. The hardware can handle it, so this is just a software limitation,
I was REALLY hoping there would be no links to livingsocial in that email and that there would just be instructions to enter it in yourself. Now a phisher can copy the entire email and have that link in the yellow portion send you to a phishing site.

My guess is that voice recognition happens mostly server-side, similarly to voice search and voice typing in Android.
There isn't an option. We will just purchase the new device. I have a hunch that if you do cool stuff with Glass using the explorer edition, Google will have problem shipping you the final release gratis.
Hitchhiking is pretty dangerous. Better to use a car-sharing board. I once took a long-distance Greyhound bus to Florida at Christmas, which was filled with homeless wanderers who had splurged for the bus ticket because they said hitchhiking was too dangerous. It isn't an option at all for women and most of the men had stories about being robbed, aggressively solicited for sex, or even having been shot at while walking roadside.
You criticise him for being judgmental ... by being judgmental about him. Practice reading without taking things personally, it'll stand you in good stead.
A little negativity maybe, but not "so much".

More of a joke at the expense of designers that like everything pixel perfect.
Markdown is flawed, no doubt, but the brilliance of it is the resemblance of markdown text to nicely formatted ASCII vs. the suggested alternatives.

I agree that markdown's flaws are significant, but the suggested alternatives don't address them either (except turning off or carefully dealing with inline HTML).
The pictures aren't bad. I've taken quite a few with my Glass and most are more than acceptable. The hard part is making sure your head isn't tilted.
1. You could also say that Alphabetus law says that in any discussion the likelihood of using all letters of alphabet approaches 1. So what? Godwin's law doesn't say anything about validity or invalidity of mentioning Nazis or Hitler.

2. I meant neither Nazis nor Hitler. I merely pointed out that if they were giving free accounts to a group that is not (considered to be) discriminated then suddenly it wouldn't be so cool.

And just in case: there are many white males with blond hair around, I know quite a few personally and I've never suspected them to be Nazis. If you have any proof that some of them are give me a shout so that I can unfriend them!

Remember Drive = Docs + Online storage so you're essentially only comparing Dropbox to the latter. You're probably aware of this but with the rebranding of Docs to Drive I thought it was worth making this explicit.

The point pg is making is that it's not an averages game, it's a lottery game.

Say there are two different people playing the lottery. Every day they buy a number of tickets. Person A buys tickets in a pool along with someone else. Person B buys tickets on their own. Thus, if Person A wins the lottery they'll have to split their winnings, whereas Person B gets to keep it all.

OK, so who ends up being better off? The answer to that is entirely decoupled from their share of the lottery winnings, what matters is entirely whether or not they won the lottery. In terms of VC financing, the RoI from "winning the lottery" by hitching your horse to a small company that grows until a multi-billion dollar enterprise in a few years is going to dwarf any other aspect of investing and returns. Thus it's vastly more important to ensure that you are doing everything possible to maximize "winning the lottery" rather than trying to maximize the share of the prize you'll get. 2x or 3x may seem like a lot, but it's nothing compared to the 100x, 1000x, or 10000x that you'll get from being on the ground floor of the next big thing.

For example, Horace Rackham was an early investor in Ford and he received a 1300x RoI, Peter Thiel received a 3000x RoI on his investment in Facebook, while Kleiner and Sequoia capital each turned $12.5 million into $2 billion through their investments in google.
> After some time, when you go back to look at the pictures you'd taken, you live those moments again the same way you remember them, from your point of view. This was my take anyway.

Wow, I've never really thought of it like that. Being able to take effortless snapshots from your own vantage point instead of lining up quasi-staged photoshoots seems pretty... organic (somewhat ironically).
Yes, it's a great idea.

It's called "salting" the password. Everyone does it. It works really well.

Of course, if they can steal your salt (from your source, or a config file) then you lose.
And one more thing - I'm not against Ada Initiative or Github giving them free accounts. Good for them & cheers!

What I'm sayin is that justifications like this one:

"This reluctance has good reasons behind it: fear of being told they are bad programmers, fear of being publicly mocked or harassed, and even fear of losing job opportunities. All of these are greater risks for women on average than men."

are IMO simply not cool. You discriminate one group of people, favor another group and all that in the name of equality.

Exactly what danger did you believe there would be in touching something containing lead?

Leaded gas was done away with because you could breath in the fumes, because the gas was, you know, incinerated and released the lead in fumes. Leaded paint was removed from homes, not because touching the paint was bad, not because having it was bad but because children were eating the paint chips. Lead piping was again a problem because of drinking water with lead now in it.

So unless you were planning on inhaling or eating the camera, what danger did you think there was from it.

Mtgox, the most popular Bitcoin exchange site, plans on supporting Litecoin soon[1]. Also interesting is that Litecoin now has a Wikipedia article[2] dedicated to it.

Same in Romania. It might be linked with our communist past. Back then some goods were not available to the public, they were only produced for export, but you could still get stuff that was 'refused for export' if you knew the right people.
Yes, but you don't want every Tom, Dick and Harry to start photographing you either do you?

i've started using Elixir for all my side projects. It's very satisfying to use and as it sits on Erlang/OTP, you get all the power of Erlang, all the libraries, etc. It still means it's not great for math; it's too slow just like Erlang. But it has all the concurrency and stability of Erlang/OTP in a new, sexy, non-prolog language.

Further, Jose Valim (the language creator) is incredibly talented as a developer and has made rapid progress in iterating the language, and responds quickly to suggestions. The mailing list is also picking up momentum, folks are contributing ideas for how to make the language great.

Yuri (yrashk) has spearheaded the efforts around a package manager - http://expm.co/ which allows all Erlang Rebar packages plus Elixir packages. Still missing is "binary" package support but that's been a gripe about Erlang for a long time.

I believe in Erlang/OTP and I really believe Elixir has a bright future. In a few years there will be folks who build Elixir apps and don't bother to learn Erlang. This could really freak out the Erlang "old guard" - many are friends of mine - but they don't really care that much, as Erlang has has always been a niche musical instrument and Elixir is Erlang's ticket to Carnegie Hall.
I'm sure the sentiment is deeply rooted from the time when Poland was controlled by the Soviets.

"Because the other guy interested in the same field watches Star Wars, I'm going to change career!"

Whether you like a field is supposed to be based on whether you like the field, not how cool you find the other people in the field.

So you're not describing girls who are interested in CS, you're describing girls who want to get into a field full of cool people.

Maybe if they are intolerant to having nerds as colleagues, said girls should aim for Hollywood instead of CS
why is it that being fans of a popular sport and wear you team s jersey is cool, while being fans of more niche interests like geeky movies or tech isn't, to such a degree that kid who like it gets teased? there is some thing inherent in being more intellectual that provoke those who aren't.
You should probably specify in what language. I would use a totally different scene for C++, Java, C and so on. Normally I try and gravitate to the norm, unless there is something that anoys me.

For example I dislike C++'s standard to appending _m to local variables. ie vabiable_m. If you need to be specific just use this->variable.

I'm currently working on a product that gives you a useful bot for your team chat room (http://www.getinstabot.com, contact me for free beta access), so I've had a bit of experience with the two protocols lately (I'm currently rewriting the XMPP frontend in Go, the architectural evolution has been enlightening and it's a very fun process, I might do a writeup if there's interest).

This post looks a bit like filler, it's not very accurate on the details (as other posters have said), and it doesn't have much content.

I think the main reason people will prefer IRC over XMPP is one of culture. IRC is for talking to strangers, XMPP is for talking to people you know.

Because of this, various company chat services are gearing towards supporting XMPP, because people usually already use XMPP clients, and the whole environment is less "let's look around the server and see what channels are interesting" and more "I'll just make a channel here because everyone has a client that can talk to it already.".

Both technologies are great, and you can use them pretty much interchangeably, but each serves a different target market. That's the biggest difference, in my opinion.
Long-term Salesforce consultant here. Can't speak to the specifics in this case, but mixups of this nature are sadly quite common in the Enterprise world. In the Salesforce ecosystem particularly the fast pace of growth in customers with complicated needs has not been met by either by internal professional services within Salesforce or by the larger partner community (it is difficult to re-train people in proprietary technologies and rapidly build up companies around them). This means that many partners are billing high rates for subpar services. In this case they appear to be under subcontract to Salesforce, which could mean that Salesforce is partially responsible (IANAL).

I don't think there is any silver bullet here. Large enterprise projects generally need a lot of hands in the implementation, particularly when there are tight schedules involved, and when there aren't enough quality resources available, people end up using resources that aren't able to deliver on what they promised in the timeline they promise.

I've seen this happen before (generally from a distance) and all I can say my condolences go out to all involved. As far as advice goes to developers, consulting in general is filled non particularly interesting repetitive tasks that rarely attracts great talent, and the most talented people tend to up into management (i.e. architects) rather than hanging around in the trenches. As far as advice to people involved on the purchasing side, make sure you vet your consultants ahead of time. Usually if take someone who promises something too good to be true, it will turn out just that way.
Conversation continues to work as long as the other person thinks you're looking at them. And having an HMD on is close enough that people don't react to you jumping away into glass-land to look something up or jot down a note.

If I understand you correctly, you're asserting that talking to your glasses does not interrupt conversation?
And it's questionable if that satisfies my "significant experience" criteria.

They will have a grounding in the real world; whether they have enough of one will of course depend on the individual.

For that matter, if they grew up helping run the family business(es) as I sort of did, they could potentially go straight to B school with little to no harm.
This is the second Litecoin article I have seen today. Is there enough space for two cypto currencies? What problems does Litecoin solve apart from giving a second chance to those that missed out on the easy early mining of bitcoins?

And he is one of those that optimises for enjoying his life - I think you have _completely_ twisted what he says. They travelled enjoyably without wasting dosh: http://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2013/01/15/a-tale-of-two-vaca...

E.g. travel: "As twentysomethings, my wife and I saw a bit of the world including Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Hawaii, Mexico, and of course Canada and a great amount of the US. Now that we’re parents to a six-year-old, we keep things a bit more tame by staying mostly within North America. But that doesn’t mean sitting at home at all times. Even at this age, our son has been to four countries and about 20 US states. We spend about 3 months traveling each year and plan to do more as he gets older."
They might not come here to "study" us per se, but they might come to watch us for the same reason people flip on TLC and watch "Honey Boo Boo". Now that's scary.

It really varies. I try to play like I play prisoner's dilemma, my first move is "courteous" and subsequent moves are to do whatever you do.

Sometimes you get teams of mature people who realize we're all in it to have fun, who will wait for you, crack jokes while you're all waiting, and generally make you feel better about the game. Those have been some of the best matches I've played, and included extending condolences to the other player when I've killed them and giving them tips on what they could do better after they respawn.

Other times, people will just yell at you, swear at you, call you names, constantly unpause the games, and just be horrible shits.

Also, I wonder what's different (culturally) about Russians, as they seem to be, by far, the less courteous of the bunch. I think they are racist towards Americans, so when someone speaks English, they basically go "fuck him, he's an American". A few of my friends go the opposite racism route, and say "fuck him, he's Russian", but I obviously try to tell them that you shouldn't be a dick to someone if he's not been a dick to you first.

Airline delayed/missing/found baggage items. Once, the SITA database in Atlanta was bigger than google (10 years ago or so). A monopoly that carries extreme costs for airlines. All interaction via archaic terminals, with a few local GUI implementations. I've done one via piggy-backing, however if you're not a handling agent or airline then you're not allowed into the ecosystem. - I'm interested in pursuing this, but it's too large for me alone to handle.

Suppose we select the top 100 start-ups according to whatever criteria we use.

We can now proceed in one of two ways.
a) Make the minimum offer that we know all of the start-ups will accept.We now have a portfolio of 100 investments.

b) Make a lower offer that only some of he start-ups will accept. We now have a portfolio of say 90 investments.

The question is which portfolio will portfolio will perform better. If there is no difference in average quality of start-up between the portfolios in a) or b), then portfolio b) will do better (because we have obtained better terms).

There is no guarantee that this will happen. It could be that he or she has lost the only 10 companies that will be successful.

This is the problem that the VC has to face.
