I have the system76. Not bulky at all. Mine has no CD slot but an SSD and 500 GB internal drive. Been playing steam games just fine on the Iris pro graphics, it controls 2 external monitors simultaneously (3 in total including laptop screen), drivers for everything worked out of the box (although Skype for linux is acting up wrt audio). Add to that: System76 support is great.

Edit: I should add that keyboard and clickpad seem to annoy some people but I haven't found anything unusual with them as laptop input devices go (they all give you RSI anyhow). I only use them on the go when I really need to but use ergonomic ones via USB most of the time.
I completely forgot that this was a feature of the phone. haha

There are whole varieties of fungi being used as natural flavouring, for instance in yogurts to give them the natural flavour of apple, vanilla, strawberry, pineapple, etc

A couple of PDFs on the subject:

* http://wsmbmp.org/proceedings/2nd%20international%20conferen...

* http://www.fungaldiversity.org/fdp/sfdp/FD13-153-166.pdf

Perfectly natural, but certainly not what you would expect these flavours to come from.
They're months away from finalizing the VP9 streaming protocol. Please don't tell me we'll have to wait 2+ years before they implement VP9. I would think they'd benefit greatly from cutting the bandwidth in half, especially for a heavy multi-user video-chat service like Hangouts.
Why Hive and not AeroFS?
But then what do you want? Isn't there a technical limit to how much local storage a phone can have? Syncing to some external disk seems unavoidable?
Wondering the same thing. What would it take to set up an equivalent of an LLC there to hold the IP of a saas business? And would Americans be able to do a tax pass-through (no or limited NZ tax liability and no change in US tax situation).

Keeping the software company in a NZ trust and using that to own a US LLC (for US operations) might be a good way to minimize IP liability.
Software consulting places and body shops (unfortunately the line is increasingly blurry) don't generally do them. There was small software company in Jhb that used to send candidates for invasive IQ and personality tests to a psychologist, but they don't exist anymore.

Many big corporates have psychometricians on staff. At least one even has a department dedicated to psychometric testing.

There's plenty of demand for skilled developers so I don't understand why people put themselves through the humiliation. I expect that a lot of skilled people self-select out of these sorts of psychometric processes if they can, to the detriment of potential employers.

I also wouldn't be surprised if many of the tests contain an element of uncorrected racial/cultural bias, and the psychometric industry has been exploiting the inability of the government to enforce the law (Employment Equity Act), which makes discriminatory testing illegal.

Truly a great speaker/thinker, able to communicate his thoughts well.

As a former avid Scala developer, I started down the path of watching every Rich Hickey presentation I could find one week. Every video tweaked my thinking just a tad (as I almost always agree with his line of thinking), and I came out of it a better functional programmer and a Clojure developer.

Note: I still do/love Scala, I just develop much less of it in favor of Clojure.
Yes, in our brave new FullStack™ world we've gone from having three or four people who are each insanely good at something to having one person who is not insanely good at anything.

Shopify constantly seem to be pushing new ground, although I find it hard to imagine a store on that platform turning over $1,000,000+ just seems to limited unlike Magento.

I think the best effect of Kickstarter might be to show just how hard running a business and selling a product really is.

I often hear people lament over "it only costs $3 to make China, why are they selling it for $19 here!" without realizing how many details and costs are involved.

It seems every month there is a new story on reddit/r/boardgames about someone with an idea for a killer new game who raises ten of thousands through Kickstarter but still can't ship the actual product.
I started taking Bob Sedgewick's class and like it so far. https://www.coursera.org/course/algs4partI
Unfortunately, he is very much correct.

My associate, left finance to do something that he thought it was valuable to the world, that was make Android (because for iOS it was already a popular business, but Android noone was doing yet) games for children, with quality, and ethics, no ads, no in app purchase, no abusive tactics, no information tracking...

He came to me with that dream, and I jumped on it.

Now 1 year a a couple months forward, we have lots of free downloads, almost none paid downloads, also although other stores invited us, OEM contracts were offered to us, and whatnot, Apple and Google ignore us (I cannot decide what is worse, Apple, that we cannot find how to contact them at all, or Google, where a Developer Advocate review all our newly launched apps, and all of them so far he approved and sent to the editorial team, that... did nothing with them).

Then we look at our competitors, and what we see is: those having profits, are those that throw away ethics, like making games that allow kids to buy 1500 USD in smurfberries, or that not only put ads, but put them in a ambiguous manner so that kids activate them by accident. Those that follow the same path as us, are all extremely unprofitable, no matter the quality of their apps, the exception is those owned by huge conglomerates (ie: TocaBoca for example, owned by Bonnier) or those that profit from something else (for example making unprofitable kid games, and selling outsourcing services to other companies).

The reason we don't jumped ship yet, is mostly because there IS some wildly profitable companies out there (as I said, for now mostly conglomerate-owned ones), and the market is still new and growing, and we are trying to be one of the early ones on it. But it is painfully obvious and tempting the power of unethical behaviour.

Coincidentally I was experimenting with LaTeX for writing my resume today, so this caught my eye.

In the screenshots, I see the same problem that I was facing with an [offline tool][1]:

There are too many hyphens all over the place! For example in this screenshot:
https://www.cvsintellect.com/img/home/sample-resumes/Classic...

... you can see "Devel-oped" "function-ality" "con-version" "expo-sure" "communi-cations"

Most other word processors can justify text without too much hyphenation. The TeX system seems to work differently (at least by default).

> How to completely miss the point

The post did not make a single point, but a large number of interesting points. I was responding to this one specifically, which the original author gave an entire headed section to:

> Yes I wanted to file a patent. If I work my ass off for something I don’t want it ripped off. I don’t want to lose money in the future due to bad business decisions in the past. I hate software patents like the next guy but physical inventions deserve some kind of protection.

Your criticism seems to imply that I should have to address every point that the original author made in his post which would be insane, especially when other commenters have already addressed them better.

> The repeated ignorant, ill-informed, incorrect amd emotive use of the word 'monopoly' merely betray your naivety.

I'm happy to be naive, but nevertheless, you're more likely to cure me of it with arguments rather than personal attacks. I will defend myself somewhat though:

I could possibly accept emotive, but ill-informed, incorrect and ignorant? Good alliteration obviously, but here's the thing: patents literally are state granted monopolies.

You can see them mentioned as such on the patent wikipedia page. The Mirriam Webster definition includes in its definition for Patent (noun):

> 2a : a writing securing for a term of years the exclusive right to make, use, or sell an invention

> b : the monopoly or right so granted

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/patent?show=0&t=13...

Patent law in the USA has a lineage going back to the Statute of Monopolies in the UK.

I find it strange to imagine how someone could reject the assertion that patents are temporarily granted state monopolies, but feel free to educate me out of my naivety.
But there is nothing weird about eating fungi. It’s common (e.g. in delicious Gorgonzola).

In that context I can see really nothing strange about using fungi for flavouring.
Anatomy Of A Unit Test
That's funny, since in Commonwealth-speak managing director means CEO.
Two years ago (October 2011) I submitted this idea to the first Shopify Fund (http://www.shopify.com/fund):

"The second idea is to create a POS system that integrates fully into Shopify. Thus one can use Shopify to manage sales for all the store's inventory both those that one sells through the web and also those that one sells from the physical store. The POS front end for Shopify will allow for Shopify to expand into those with both an online presence and those who also have a storefront. This is perfect for small businesses. I believe it could be very disruptive to the POS market because it would be very easy to adopt for customers."

Back when I applied to the Shopify Fund there were little requirements it just asked for ideas: http://web.archive.org/web/20111018133854/http://www.shopify...

I never heard back from them.
This is pretty cool. A lot of manual work on OSM, back when I was with some OSM nerds in DC, faced the problem of manual imports and a tool like this would have been very, very useful.

It might be better to not respond to a disrespectful comment, but when responding, there is a need to respectfully disagree. When someone lowers the quality of the discussion, it is important for everyone else to make up for it. This also communicates the desired standard of conversation to the writer of the disrespectful post.
I've backed Kickstarters only after they've already reached their goal, just for the sake of preordering the product.

Yes, Kickstarter and IndieGoGo are not meant to be storefronts and I might be a bad citizen for treating it as such, but the incentive is there. If the developers are going to treat these fundraisers as a place to sell a product, I'm going to use these fundraisers as a place to buy a product. Especially in cases where the Kickstarter product is significantly less than the price of the product when it hits retail. If you tell me I can "buy" your product for $8 on Kickstarter and get the product in the mail weeks before it's officially for sale, or I could wait longer and buy it for $20, what do you expect me to do?
Outside of hubs, and even in hubs, it's ridiculously hard to raise money for a startup that isn't making money. I had so many conversations with investors for thecityswig.com who literally did not even want to have a conversation about user and customer traction if it didn't involve them writing me a check or paying me for something - no matter HOW good the news was. Did not even want to hear it. And maybe that's ok, maybe that's even good, but it's certainly true.
I think it's reasonable for it to be a big deal to folks who have made a personal decision (for whatever reason) that they don't want to consume animal products.

Personally, if beaver butt is tasty, that's fine with me, but I respect the desires of other to avoid animal products, and think it's reasonable that such information be clearly disclosed.

Disclaimer: I didn't RTFA, and it's entirely likely this argument was made there.

How to use JSON to parse data into android application
I went through two K800s before giving up and getting a mechanical. The K800 is buggy and broken.

The first K800 I owned, the spacebar broke off within 2 hours of using it. I sent it back for a replacement. I was a lot easier, and cautious with the replacement, which ultimately hindered my typing ability.

There was some kind of key ghosting going on that disallowed me to type "ID" too fast. The D would always miss. I had to purposefully slow down when typing things like UserID, ProductID, things I type all day every day as a programmer. That was the last straw for me.

Just off the top of my head I count over $1000 worth of logitech stuff I own, but the K800 is the first product I would recommend against.
Yes, running them until they halt is one way of determining that a program halts on a given input. However, we can prove things do or don't halt without that. Consider running, on an idealized machine (so no overflows),

while(i>0) { i * 2; }

I think you would agree that this clearly never halts for any i > 0, and I think it also clear that we did not determine that by running it until it did not halt (because there is no such point).

Turing proved that for some programs there is nothing we can do but run them and see. That doesn't mean that's all we can ever do.

What makes you think HR people are any better than we in hiring those ones? (Hiring other HR personal excluded, they are probably good on that, the same way that we are good on hiring techies.)

I don't have an answer to your question, but I'm quite confident that it isn't "you ask a psychologist".
Question: Did you not bring this up yourself, to the person in charge? ... or were you possibly not so interested in continuing to work there, or maybe feeling that bringing it up was the sole responsibility of the person in charge?

You don't have to use the "entrepreneur" label. I don't, but mostly because it sounds stupid. If you run a popular media site, you're in the media business. If you sell e-books, you're a publisher. If you run a time tracking SaaS, you're a business tools provider, software engineer, productivity expert, whatever.

Telling investors that the startup makes no revenue is a joke to them

Maybe this is just poor word choice on the part of the author, but a startup with no revenue is a joke unless you haven't launched yet. If you have, you still haven't taken in any money, you might want to think about whether the product or service you're offering is worth someone paying for.

On the other hand, if the author meant "profit" instead of "revenue", then this sentence makes far more sense, there are plenty of promising startups and companies whose expenditures currently exceed their revenues, and shouldn't be outright dismissed by potential investors.
I have a MBA and the choice between OSX and Windows is a personal-one, but I actually prefer OSX for desktop usage. Linux for me is the best server os around, but using it on a desktop irritates me. OSX gives you the same command-line power any *nix will give you, I use vim, tmux, clang and gcc, grep/sed/awk/bash scripting on a daily basis on both my air and the Linux servers I maintain. To that it adds an actually usable desktop that simply works, multi-desktops that work brilliantly once you master the touchpad gestures, and fullscreen apps. Without this, I think a 13" display would have been too small for me. This however, is a personal OS choice. You can still install Linux on it if you want to.

Regarding the laptop itself, the only one I've seen come close, is the Dell XPS 13, which is impressive - but then again - it costs about the same. I've heard good things about the Lenovo X series, but haven't had any hands-on experience with them.

One of the things however that makes the MBA shine, and this I cannot understate - is the quality of the user input. The touchpad is superior to anything from the competition, and the keyboards is something the alternative 'light weight' laptops can't seem to get right (in my opinion). These are - for me at least - very important points to make, you will use these every single time you do something with the laptop, and if you're like me, frustrated every touchpad except the ones Apple makes (seriously, why has nobody figured it out that well as Apple?). I never thought I would ever say this, but I prefer the touchpad on my air over a mouse. I expected to be put off by the keyboard but was also pleasantly surprised. Could have been better, but I guess this is very hard in such a thin laptop.

It's easy to blame the governments for everything that goes wrong.

WE the people are the ones in power. WE the people are the ones who vote for the policies of a company by buying their products. Since when did we shift all of our responsibilities to government?

Do we really want to government to control every aspect of what a person or company can or can't do? If yes, then we can't blame the same government that we have to pay so much taxes or complain about lesser freedoms.

And it's not the function of a company to behave unethic just because it's legal. Legality has nothing to do with it. And at the same time, I don't judge anyone for buying at these companies, I just want to make people aware of what it means when you buy some company's product.

OSX is slowly moving towards an operating system where you can only buy at the App Store. Now you still can install outside of it, but the step of adding a checkbox to disable this has already been taken. I would not be surprised if this functionality will become the same as they do on iOS, which is already quite a cage.

About the factories I know that more companies use for example Foxconn, but that doesn't change the fact that this happens and they continue to use the services of these companies.

I'm not judging anyone for buying Apple products, nor do I try to push any opinion. I was just asking a question with the intent that this information might be taken into consideration and to point out our responsibilities as people for the behavior of companies.
I worked at a small telco (couple hundred people) long ago where HR saw themselves as providing "Resources for Humans" (as opposed to the physical plant guy who could replace lightbulbs all day but couldn't help figure out your health insurance)

They had their nose pretty deep in payroll operations; we were always paid correctly and on time. Insurance problems? They'd help. They were frankly pretty decent service providers for us.

Unfortunately this is extremely rare in corporate life.
It sounds like the author has mistaken the original advice of "Do what you love" as "Do what you think you love". How can this person know he "loves" being an entrepreneur when he never was one?

I guess he thought that being an entrepreneur meant more "If you build it, they will come", which is wrong. The reality of it is that creating a startup takes a lot of different skill sets, including knowing how to build a business and managing cash flow, etc. And just because you love the idea of being something doesn't mean you are actually good at doing it.
NZ is not the first country to disallow software patents (also patents on game rules and business methods in some countries). I'm guessing something is stopping Americans from exploiting that. We are talking about the country that taxes its citizens for what they earn while they live in another countries. Only sure way out of this stupidity is to ditch the US citizenship.

> Even if it would get investment, most investors would typically push me to make money as soon as possible.

Hell no they don't. They push you to get users/hyper growth. The whole point of investment is to let you grow faster than you can bootstrapping, which this article then goes on to say is the way to go with sustainability being paramount.

If you go for bootstrapping and sustainability and a competitor is being VC funded and burning down their runway of cash every year, they are going to blow you away in growth and your company will be irrelevant.
