I'm guessing that coke has added color, but without that added color, its still not clear. It likely took additional processing to make it appear like vodka (the goal of the endeavor).
Or how bribes work every time, if you know, what the persons really wants.

Or that it pays for big corp to rub with the ones in power.

I remember doing a test in high school science class where we poured coke through Norit (activated carbon) a couple of times which would result in the colourants binding to the Norit and the coke become colourless (while still being safe to drink).
That's because those companies are part of a centralized Internet where they are providing key infrastructure while acting as super users/root.

I personally find it interesting that they bothered to mention Ubuntu TV.
That project hasn't seen a code commit in months, and by the looks of it there have been little effort to transition away from the deprecated Unity-2d base it's built on.
"Once a life opportunity for cute girl"
All these things are tautologous and there's nothing special about governments that causes them:

I am talking about wars from one country to another country.

Only governments can start international wars by definition.

You know, the wars that kill vast amounts of people ?

International wars tend to be more bloody due to the increased stakes and military power involved.

You will find out the later largely outweighs the first.

Since more people die in international wars, the majority of people who die in wars die in international ones.

Of course, what you don't mention is that outside of wars, there is a relatively tiny amount of violence in most developed countries, as a result of the monopoly on military power.
Congratulations Dave! About a year ago I self-published my first book and it ended up being the best thing I ever did (so far). How did you write the book? I used LaTeX for mine, less mess with the tools! Another thing, have you considered going Print-On-Demand as well? I've got my book on Amazon using CreateSpace, they don't take a lot of the money and the book gets good exposure; while I also have a DRM free PDF, ePub and Mobi. As well as on Kindle.

Good luck with the sales and again, congratulations on becoming an author!
Wait, why would you still use Google, Microsoft, or Facebook? Am I missing something here? They gave your data away without telling you. That's unacceptable. Hit them where it hurts - in their pocketbook.
I would say "have created" rather than "are probably busy creating" for most large countries.
How many employers at universities have any idea about what their employees are doing beyond 'something with computers' or 'something with microbes' ? (exaggeration - but not a whole lot, in academia by definition most people are not in a position to understand what others are doing because what they are doing is supposed to be cutting edge)

You can make your own white/clear Coca Cola too! I play with my food a lot and have experimented with this.

All you need is an old/used Brita filter and a beverage carbonator (or if you're like me, you have some sort of multigas siphon).

1. Pour Coke into Brita jug (with filter in place)
2. Retrieve colourless solution, and then recarbonate.

It tastes like Coke but is colourless. I had also messed with other variants that require fancier filtration (special carbon filters for example) and centrifuging, but the Brita filter has pretty good results.
The article pretty much says "Today's browsers are bad because they don't support all the things I want".

Well, I don't want the stuff you're talking about. How 'bout that?

So definitely a high performance open source kitchen appliance.

Or something to do with open source movies/3d (Blender).

Or maybe its something like literate CoffeeScript but allowing you to use any language that compiles to JavaScript.

Or maybe its a way to edit programs interactively by using a non-textual abstract syntax storage format that allows for different types of presentations or editors. Like reactive CSS for ASTs or something.

LOL.
I can repro this, but I'm amused that the article thinks it's censorship. It seems transparently like an attempt to avoid common embarrassing autocorrects. See http://www.damnyouautocorrect.com

Is this still that big a problem? From my vantage point, everyone is ringing the cash register. B2B and B2D is huge right now (in SF at least), and all but the most naive of entrepreneurs (that I meet, but I do meet a lot of entrepreneurs) have a B2B focus, with enterprise on the mind.

How many people are still making go-big-or-go-home consumer/social/mobile startups?
>You have WAY MORE examples of States leading wars than corporations. Even in recent history. Proves my point.

Not really. It proves it only against a bizarro argument that nobody made, that coporations lead wars directly.

Of course states lead wars. Corporations don't have armies and state like powers except in very few historical situations (namely, in the colonial era, like the East-India company example).

It's not about who "leads the war" or "who fights in it". That's not what we mean when we say corporations create wars.

What we mean is that corporate interests (often of more than one corporation), exert power at states to further their interests, including by war, but also by other kinds of malice (dictatorship, lackeys in government, favorable laws, igniting civil tension, etc).
To the best of my knowledge, DOM and JavaScript does not allow for a secure implementation of end-to-end encryption in a browser, especially if you want the decrypted text to populate the DOM. You'd be leaving your data open to XSS attacks, browser extensions and the service provider changing their code. For this reason, I think it would be better if you started advocating for specific changes to the HTML standard.

Sadly, I think mostly in the BigCorp world, you always have to take time aside to learn new stuff (or read HN etc). Everybody knows that no one works 8h/day doing real work. Sometimes taking time for learning is frowned upon (the "bad companies" out there) but mostly it is up to you to take the time.

I've never heard any of my (ex) bosses in BigCorp say that taking time from daily work to learn is not permitted. Of course it would be cool to have the 20% stated by the management, but I don't see that happening. Mostly they leave it up to you to take the 20% from the daily work.
You cannot really go in straight lines in the solar system due to orbital mechanics. Whatever you do, you're in orbit about something, even if the orbit is a hyperbolic escape trajectory and you're never returning. So the probes were not launched in the same direction they're currently traveling.

I believe the Voyagers didn't gain solar escape velocity at launch; they were sent to Jupiter via a regular Hohmann-like (half-ellipse) transfer orbit and used the gravity assist there to actually kick them to an escape trajectory.
Sweet!

If I had read this in a science fiction novel few years back , I would've rolled my eyes.
Common turns of phrase wouldn't be so troublesome if they were simply avoided in favor of direct language and makings of actual points. "We have to fight these things when they come up, but we tend not to," or whatever, instead of defensive profundity. Language is a lossy codec for thought, metaphor doubly so.
You seem to be talking about some sort of very narrow non-motion definition of thermogenesis and I am not. I guess according to you, shivering because one is cold is not thermogenesis.

If you want to know more about what I'm talking about with drastic changes in calorie expenditure, do a google search on "non-exercise activity thermogenesis".
I'm guessing the Marshal didn't want to display his corruption to the "dirty water of the American imperialism"¹ even to the workers who stocked and served his beverages.

¹As the members of our marxist-leninist-maoist party called it ;)
Yes, and historically, governments more often have military power than corporations. So it's not surprising they use it more often.

The fact that governments are more able to wage wars does not prove anything about what kind of entity is more likely to start one given that ability.

Maybe it's harder to type a common phrase that gets autocorrected to "Vergewaltigung" than to "rape". "Tape" seems like the most likely candidate: "Can you tape me during my performance?" Suppose you mistype that as "fape".
The point is not that everyone will recompute everything, but ensuring that it remains possible.
The contradiction is in promoting personal "meaning" (I'm guessing he actually means preference, though) in the composition of software features in an application, yet not allowing for the same to be a feature in the composition and practice of free jazz, a style he baldy denigrates as "meaningless." The only way this contradiction can be resolved positively for free jazz is if the style included pandering to his taste.
Dropbox: extra storage.
The point is not for everyone to recompute everything, but to ensure that it remains possible, and with known, well defined hardware platforms capable of running a specific bundle of software, it will likely reman possible for much longer than anyone cares about the specific papers.
Install Rails 4 correctly on OS X Mountain Lion
seriously failed attempt then, or it was never there in the first place.. If you mistype a single letter eg abortiom, then how exactly it is embarassing to make abortion out of it?
That's an awesome app! How is the marketing going? Because I think this could be a really big hit.
"Rape" is probably in order to avoid the things that show up on http://www.damnyouautocorrect.com/tag/rape/, like "Lol he needs a new hose now. I duct raped it !" (http://www.damnyouautocorrect.com/32070/the-damage-may-be-pe...), an error which you could easily imagine resulting in a call to the police, HR, or someone's spouse under slightly different circumstances.

The others seem less likely to come up by accident, although apparently in http://www.damnyouautocorrect.com/53824/shes-a-mess/ the iPhone autoincorrected "hair" to "abortion". I have no idea how.

I'm curious whether anyone can persuade their current-version iDevice to autocorrect "a nap" to "anal", as it's done in the past.

This sums up very nicely why I'm interested in building a company. It's not something I'm a 'natural' at (I'm not a great programmer, but I feel very at home with it), and I don't care about being rich, I just want time and freedom.

Even with the small amount of money I've made with LiberWriter, I've tasted some of that decoupling he talks about - it's an awesome feeling when someone signs up, asks a few questions to our support team, and has their book done without me lifting a finger!

> My Macbook Pro is slow enough in general running OS X, and especially so when RAM gets tight. I'm not sure I'd want to add this additional overhead.

The point of this is that it makes things /faster/, not /slower/. It's essentially trading 1GB of DDR3 for 3GB of DDR1, which is a net gain when your ram amount is more of a bottleneck than ram speed (which it pretty much always is, IME)
It was a joke. Tourette's/Coprolalia refers to having a tick like behavior that might cause swearing. It is laughable that his writing is caused by Tourette'ssyndrome /Coprolalia.

Let me guess. You are coming from Java. In Java this would be:

myArray.sort(new Comparator<MyClass> ({
@Override
CompareTo(MyClass lhs, MyClass rhs) {
return rhs.compare(lhs);
}
}));

Is that really shorter? I don't think so.

In any case, there is a more elegant solution in Go, which is simply:

sort.Sort(sort.Reverse(array))

You need to open your mind a little bit, to learn a new language.
> In 1986, SCRUM consisted of choosing an elite team of experts, throwing them into a room, and telling them to solve a problem with seemingly impossible goals.

I used to work in scientific research, and the concept there is exactly the same. And it works, I can confirm that!

> It kills me that almost 30 years after this was proven to work, we're still trying to come up with new ways to differentiate existing processes.

The problem is, in 1986 you talked about experts. What people have been trying to do lately, is to apply whatever methodology to average (or sub-average) developers and expect that the methodology itself increase substantially their productivity and the quality of their work.

But it doesn't work, simply because it cannot work. Buying a book on Agile/SCRUM/whatever is much cheaper than investing on the competency your team, and you simply get what you paid for!
Living the lonely solopreneur life? Why not try co-working?
I'm doing something similar. I sold the technology of my (very) small startup in 2007 and had enough to stop "working" and putz around for a few years. I had no aim but kept trying whatever took my fancy. Eventually, something clicked as being in demand, profitable, and something I enjoyed doing. That's now my new business and I try to optimize so that at least 80% of the work is something I enjoy doing (and try to outsource anything that I don't!)

Without that initial runway, however, I'd never have done it and this idea of having some extended time off or having a healthy pillow of cash to cushion a potential fall seems to be a common element of many stories like this.
I suspect that if they were only making small quantities of it, they might not want to mess with their working production setup, and so it could be more economical to mass produce the coloured product and get advice from their staff food chemist on how to remove the coloured compounds for the small special order.

I stand by my statement. I have nothing but respect for your obvious and substantial success but as you say yourself, you've mostly worked for startups. Whilst you're clearly more informed than most on all things tech & startups, in this one particular area, you're point is clearly ill-informed.

The vast majority of established organisations with 100+ staff have a HR department and in Europe, the HR department usually screens CV's and are regularly involved in phone screening and/or first stage interviews.
Ah yeah, that's what I do. It's usually over a few hours. I think it's more an addiction to sugar than anything. I could stretch a bag of candy over a few hours instead but it'd be far more calories.

Author here. While I appreciate the reads, I am even more glad for the amusement provided by various comments about how I'm confused about what "100% time" means (since, AFAIK, the post is where the term was first used outside of private conversations with friends of mine), or that it's potentially illegal, or that it's really just the typical 80/20 split and I can't tell the difference. Cheers! :-D

Snark aside, Craig Andera asked me about the post on a recent Relevance podcast, and we talked about it and matters related to 100% time for a good stretch:

Coca-cola could not care less if the General got the coke or not, if it made any money or not - what mattered was the US Army's support in creating a global manufacturing and distribution chain - and a ready made global consumer group in the form of GIs who would then glamourise the drink to the native populations
I've noticed this also coming from New Zealand to the US - there is a distinct difference in restaurant service here, and also in people's expectations for service.
Some advice I got was to go for an interview every 6 to 8 months whether you are looking for a job or not. The skill of interviewing well is different to the skill of actually doing the job and it never hurts to stay in practice.

Look at the rise of Dwarf Fortress leading to Minecraft and its various imitators. Once you get to the polished, simplified level of Minecraft then it can be (and has been) ported to consoles and phones, but the experience doesn't start that polished. You need to be able to experiment with something clunkier, something with many more possibilities - and something like Dwarf Fortress couldn't possibly happen on anything other than the PC.

I think, anyway. Maybe that's got nothing to do with it, and we see innovation on the PC solely because it's a more indie-friendly development environment. But I think it's telling that the dev versions of consoles come with keyboards.

[video] Earth from 3.8 Billion Miles - A Humbling Experience
Well, touchscreens are trendy right now and they're moving a lot of hardware and software.. but for real hardcore musical creation?

They won't be a centerpiece like a desktop running Ableton Live until they get a hell of a lot more powerful.. and frankly, the first thing most people will do with their touchscreen musicbox is find a board covered in keys, knobs, faders, and buttons to attach to it.

I think people might underestimate just how tactile music is and how important it is with electronic/computer-powered music to see what you're doing at the same time as you're doing it or--conversely but no less importantly--to be able to do what you're doing without looking at it.

I mean, there's talk of tactile feedback touchscreens and everything else, but really--this is a solved problem, it's called a button.
(Author here.) I agree that 100% time does not define anything. That is definitional. ;-) I'm "the boss" of the business, so I'm pretty well in control of what gets done and what doesn't.

The whole thing requires a great deal of self-control and psychological awareness…though I'd suggest that without that, the business that makes the whole thing possible in the first place probably wouldn't exist.
