Not even slightly. I don't think there is one last good form. The future is a variety of devices. Despite the rise of tablets, I still code using a desktop machine with multiple monitors, and I wouldn't ever trade it for a tablet.

The Android SDK works fine with it. Turn on debugging mode on the Glass and code away. Sensors are no problem:

I did an internship at Audi a few years ago and it looked exactly the same.

The one thing that was much more impressive at Audi however is that, as opposed to Tesla, where one line seems to produce one type of car, at Audi, the same line (i.e. the same robots) would sequentially work on different models. A robot might, for example, attach an A4 windshield, then a Q5 windshield, etc. That was very impressive. The required identification information (model, type, options,...) was contained on a small transmitter attached on the transporter carrying the semi-finished vehicle.

This is obviously not necessary at Tesla since they only have two models, but it was nonetheless the thing that most impressed me.
Thanks for the tips...

As for my browser, it isn't 2 lines of bookmarks. It's one line of bookmarks and Web Developer Toolbar is the second line. As for the menu bar, and this is the way Linux version of Firefox works, although I would probably turn it on even if it was hidden because I use History, Tools and Bookmarks menus all the time (like 20+ times a day)

I don't want to auto-hide the taskbar, I like to see which applications are running all the time. Not all people use the computer the same way, and I surely wouldn't change my usage pattern of desktop environment just to please one web application.

"Pop out reply" and Shift+Ctrl+End help, and GMail is now usable. So thanks again. :)

BTW, I did try to pop out the message and then reply but, when it pops, it opens a 800x540 window which still has text box with 7 lines of text. Even if I maximize that window, the reply box is still 7 lines and I got half of screen filled with blank white space. I missed that there is a second way to pop it out. One could argue that even HN's default textarea is a better textbox than GMail's.
It seems they utilize it (from what I could gather from the video) much more than German automakers. German companies are hesitant to push the automation boundary, at least at home, since it means lowering human jobs. They won't ever fully automate since they have a social responsibility to their factory workers.
Building this thing will be expensive. SF-LA is probably best place in US if you optimize for traffic volumes and capital needs.

I seriously doubt that this is going to happen between SF-LA first. If this is feasible idea, he will be able to sell it to Japan, China and EU countries first.
Google reps have stated you are allowed to "gift" it to someone else when you pick it up, though. I'm sure there are plenty of people who would privately gift you some money back.
I think citizenship is a good general rule, but like every rule it has corner cases. But citizenship guarantees you due process, not a trial regardless of the circumstances. At some point, it becomes impractical to provide a trial (e.g. consider a police man killing a suspect because he presents an imminent deadly threat).

We did give civilian trials to terrorists like John Walker Lindh and Jose Padilla who were American citizens in our custody. But Al Awalki evaded our attempts to give him judicial process for a decade. Does citizenship mean that you can't be touched as long as authorities can't bring you in alive?
It is obvious.

However, what you refer to as unwanted side-effects, are the entire point. Those side-effects, aren't side-effects, they're the goal. Obama is aggressively pursuing these powers, just as Bush did before him. It's not ignorance at work, or misplaced faith in the system; everybody at the top of the food chain understands exactly what this means.

You want to know what he's thinking? He's thinking the same thing every despot in history has thought. If this were 20 or 30 years into the future, with the way things are going, Obama would be a truly frightening monster. The next three or four presidents that come after Obama, are the ones to be afraid of; they'll start off right out of the gate with the kind of power the founding fathers would have understood to be the domain of kings and tyrants.

Personally I am quite delighted to see my UK tax money going to back this project. Compared to the amounts we spend on much sillier projects it is a rounding error.

[e.g. My home city of Edinburgh is spending £1 billion on a rather short length of trams and the UK is spending ~£7 billion on two aircraft carriers when we can only afford to run one!]
I've been wearing glass for a while now and am active in development (see http://openglass.us), there are a few select groups of people I'd recommend it to at this point: developers (it's a fun/simple/exciting platform to write for), researchers (just like with the kinect, it makes it much easier to reproduce experiments), people who are constantly running around town while being in contact with others (business/sales people), who drive all the time (much safer/easier than a phone), who would use a gopro on a regular basis (sports), and who travel often (in the US due to mobile data).

At this point that's really it. If you sit at a desk all day you're going to have a bad time with the notifications, "oh great I got a notice on my face a minute after my phone buzzed and my laptop notified me". They work much better when you are active, out and about when even picking up your phone is a chore. If you already know your way everywhere you go (you don't travel) then one of the best features, directions, is lost on you.

This applies to the current device/software/apps, part of what we are trying to do with OpenGlass is push it past being a "beeper on your face" because that only applies to the segment of people to whom getting notifications faster than you do with your phone matters. Once they allow devs to push to the Play store (coming soon) it'll be a much more compelling product for end users. I think it'll ultimately be an amazing product, it's just the current feature list targets what I see as limited audiences.
US military interventionism spans from far before WW2. The Spanish-American war, the Mexican-American war, the war of 1812, and the brutalities conducted under the umbrella of manifest destiny come to mind.
Author here. I agree with you that "buying things for happiness" is not the best idea someone can have.

But there are things someone needs to buy and I see buying something someone needs and spending some extra money to get something he or she likes to look at or use as a good idea.

IMHO those are two different things.
I've never found a use for a tablet myself. My phone is fine for Kindle reading and anything else I'd use a tablet for. Past that I use my Macbook Pro Retina which is barely heavier than a tablet anyway and has a nice keyboard. Glass/watches are handy because they don't have to be taken out like a phone/tablet/laptop.

While I get this sentiment, in fairness, I think the reason we expect people not to be underwhelmed by beta testing is because it's beta testing. If you ask people to shell out $1500 for the privilege, you've now raised expectations - they're not just beta testing, they're buying a significant luxury good.

I get why G charged - when you get people to invest in an item, especially by weeding out the less-passionate, you bias them towards strong positive responses - but they did cross "beta testing" and "luxury goods" wires.
We had real democracy, in 1993-1996. Basically we democratically voted against it. Democracy is against Russian traditions, and most people either actively opposed it or passively (i.e. voting for the funniest candidate to discredit the whole system), and people were happy we gradually returned to normalcy, which is dictatorship.

First, put out the fires.

Next, look for ways to simplify your stack. You're flying solo, so consider SaaS services where you pay a premium for having someone else handle the ops. For instance, dodgy email stack: have you tried something like sendgrid? AWS RDS instead of self-managed MySQL? Etc.

Finally, can you find a cofounder or another technical person to help? You can literally double your productivity (and more) with the right person; be willing to give up some equity / cash to help the company prosper.

This is just not true. John Walker Lindh and Jose Padilla were "terrorists" yet they were given civilian trials. The Supreme Court has strongly opposed every attempt to make "terrorist" a label that changes peoples' rights.

Al Awalki was not killed because he was a terrorist. He was killed for the same reason Dorner was killed: it was impossible for authorities to bring him in alive and give him a trial.
it's silly to suggest he borrowed them from OWS

What does it matter where the tropes originally came from? They are what they are and they're easy to identify regardless of whether from OWS or his own personal experiences.

Jeez, just commenting on the actual movie trailer itself and the politics that it seems to be pushing pretty hard. Seems like I pushed some buttons to get the straw men and heavy negative moderation hammers thrown at me.
It can definitely save you some time (SSDs in general, not just this one,) but how much depends on the operations in question.

Example workflow - SQL Server, approx 1TB working set - putting it all on SSD (a RAID set of consumer level SSDs) basically doubled our operations per second. Modifying the algorithm a bit while still on the SSD gave 20x speed up.

2nd example - SQL Server, approx 10TB of RAID Prosumer SSD vs same amt of 15k SAS drives: SSD = 8x speedup.

3rd example - SSD as swap on linux operations - performance dropped by 10%. This mostly had to do with the SSD used and its role.

In other words - it's not a magic bullet but it can definitely buy you some breathing room.
So the rule is, the president can kill the family members of whomever he considers a terrorist? As in, not the terrorist himself, but his son? Where does that power end? Three degrees of separation, like NSA spying?

Sorry, but this is the sign of a seriously f*ed up nation.
When I was looking for work I was amazed at the number of recruiters who contacted me regarding roles which didn't match my skillset. I've now found a great job, but because of this experience when I've been contacted recently by recruiters who have matched me with roles which I would be a good fit for, I respond and thank them and explain that I'm not looking at the moment.

Everything else I laugh at and ignore.

History.

A lot of people seem to ascribe to the "cult of personality", but with or without Mao, it would have been done.

That's why it was done almost in parallel in other countries too.

Lots of people have the crazy theory that some guys, maybe because they had too much swag or because people were of lower IQ back then or something, managed to rise from nowhere and get hundrends of millions to follow them, changed their countries etc.

The real story is that the historical currents had formed to move those countries out of their aggrarian past. They had to do something or perish in the modern age, and due to mix of circumstances and need, those kind of figures emerged to deliver that change.

It was a time of huge changes all around -- the colonial struggles, WWI, WWII, communism rising, right wing dictatorships -- those things did not happen all in parallel because some guys managed to dupe billions into following them.
I do this whenever a recruiter uses a code word from my linked in profile. It states at the bottom "If you are a recruiter and contacting me about an opportunity, please use the word 'crabs' so I know you have actually read my profile. Thanks"
I actually think industrial applications might be the hidden killer app for augmented reality. Imagine walking around a power plant and seeing your environment annotated: last inspection time for each inspection point, what is flowing through each pipe and its current pressure, etc. Construction sites could be truly amazing.
I'm in the "no experience" boat. I recently decided to switch jobs; jumping from sales to a aspiring programmer. I'm dedicating the next 6 months (full time) to learning Ruby/Rails and becoming comfortable with HTML/CSS/Javascript.

A few things I'm doing to get prepared:
1) I'm enrolled in a online Ruby/Rails bootcamp (https://www.gotealeaf.com) it lasts for a total of 16 weeks and we're building out several projects.
2) Taking lessons at Treehouse, I'm always up for some extra practice!
3) Just started a side project that I will have completed by the end of the 6 months.
4) Attending a weekly local Ruby meet up. Additionally, I'm getting involved in other local tech events, like Startup Weekend.

My plan of action is to make a trip to San Francisco (this is where I ideally want to relocate to) to speak to a few potential employers mid-way of my journey. Of course, it won't be a formal interview but I would like to let them know my plans and a get feel of their company, culture, etc. At the end of the 6 months, I will touch base with these companies and show them my progress. At that time, I will also reach out to additional companies.

What do you guys think of my overall strategy? Any suggestions?

In terms of my resume, what type of things should I list? Since, I won't have any "formal" experience, is completing the online Ruby/Rails bootcamp worth highlighting? How about my side project?

PS: I'm a female in my mid 20's coming from a luxury sales and customer service background.

Thanks in advance!

> "I can't conceive of what Obama has in mind with pursuing this law against resistance."

I think, logically, we're down to only a few options:

1. "he's lying": His stated opinions/positions don't reflect his beliefs at all.

2. "he's powerless": despite being President, he has no practical control over what is pursued, so his speeches and signing statements are essentially a plea for people and historians to not blame him for that which he cannot control.

3. "he's corrupt": Power has corrupted his ideals, and he truly believes he can fairly wield dangerous powers such as the drone kill list and suspension of citizenship/rights, despite their risks, and that having these tools available to him today is more necessary/important than denying them for fear of future abuse.

And none of those possibilities are particularly encouraging.

> Carter's being generous to himself. It was Nixon who opened up relations with China

Carter didn't claim to have opened up relations with China, he claimed to have normalized relations with China.

> and it probably could only have been a Republican who took that first step

While there was a popular saying relating to that about Nixon, it doesn't really stand up too much; its hardly as if Kennedy and Johnson were perceived, at home or abroad, in ways which would have made that difficult in any way that it wouldn't be for Nixon. What really set the stage in the 1970s for the opening in relations that began under Nixon and culminated under Carter wasn't the political party of the US participants but the growing rivalry between the USSR and PRC.
As far as I can tell, the production version will use LH2 instead of Liquid Helium to cool the incoming air. (after which the Helium will be burned for thrust, no need to cool it back down)

That's fair. I think the main frustration comes from recruiters that mislead.

The primary lie seems to be, "We want to hire YOU!" along the lines of "You've been pre-qualified!" junk mail.
For actual emails (real, or through linkedin mail) I'll always try to respond with a polite "thanks but no thanks".

What absolutely drives me crazy is the linkedin invite spam were they indicate that you worked together at "Recruiting Services LLC". No. We didn't. You're lying; why would I want to start a professional relationship on a lie?

The tragedy there is it lowers the value of all of linkedin for me.
Awesome, a little decency can make everyone's life better.

As someone who has hired lots of people, I always make sure that I email every candidate who applied and also let them know when the position has been filled. Treat people as you would want to be treated.
Aww, just a mapping error. I would have been far more impressed if Google had actually "annihilated" the island itself so reality would better match their maps.
It would be amazing if someone could confirm this; even if Google offered me an official pair I couldn't afford the flight and hotel (going back to school in the fall!). I'd love to write some apps for Glass, and it seems like a surprising number of Explorers don't want theirs anyways.

We have better refrigeration these days, sure, but before electric refrigeration was widespread there was an extensive nationwide ice distribution network. People would essentially quarry it out from frozen northern lakes during the winters, store enormous cubes of it in warehouses packed in sawdust, and ship it out in railroad cars across the nation.

The icebox significantly predates widespread electrification.

This relative peace was forced upon by the Cold War. It largely restrained the militant zeal from both sides.

As soon as the Soviet threat was gone, the US devised the new concept of evil - terrorism - and, with no viable checks and balances, went on fighting it around the world.

Except that, in time, the notion of terrorism became very vague and murky. Anyone is a potential target now.
The cops are tracking my car—and yours
First, breathe. Then, organize - you need to feel as if you're making progress, rather than spinning your wheels. Sorry to be prescriptive, but here's what I'd do.

1. Do something to energize yourself FIRST thing in the morning - We each have something different that works for us, for me it's rollerblading, for a good friend of mine it's reading, for another it's prayer. The point is that you need to take time for yourself, it'll center your day.

2. Make a list - This is boring, but it's how I live my life. Try creating two lists, one of emergency tasks, one of important tasks. Deal with a couple of emergencies, then take on something important. Over time, both will dwindle, but more importantly you'll be making progress. I can't emphasize enough, the psychological impact of crossing something off a list.

3. Consider staff augmentation - You don't necessarily need to hire (though it might help). Instead, maybe you can acquire the services you need on an as needed basis. I know of several successful startups where Support, DevOps, and even Sales were all part-time concerns.

4. Get a gym buddy - By that, I mean get someone else in your life, who you can talk to about the details. Depending on your business, this may mean a co-founder, but it could also mean working at a hackerspace and making the right friends. Positivity breeds positivity.

5. Eat healthier foods - By now, you've taken care of your mind (step 1), now start on your body. Some foods help you naturally increase your drive, your attention span. Others help you smile, just because you love them (for me, it's figs - go figure).
