It is also immediately theme-able with any Bootstrap theme, which is a major leap forward. And, it is responsive...another major leap forward. The old way of handling mobile is to have a custom theme for mobile devices (currently based on Joe Hewitt's iUI, which is pretty long in the tooth, and looks like ancient iOS versions).

We're about a week away from an alpha release (suitable for testing in the wild), a month away from a beta release (suitable for daily use by people who understand how to file bug reports), and two months away from it being the default theme in all of our products, both Open Source and commercial. Assuming I am able to maintain the current pace of development.

Bootstrap (and maybe moreso, jQuery) is pretty miraculous, honestly. I've tried to do this on two separate occasions in the past with YUI and ExtJS, and failed miserably, because they simply don't work well in a progressive enhancement environment (and my brain doesn't work the way their developers brains work...jQuery fits my Perlish brain a lot better).
That looks very interesting, will have to play!

Except that's not possible, even for a Chernobyl-level release of radioactive material. You might as well suggest that Chernobyl made all food from Britain to Afghanistan inedible. We can detect material from Fukushima in the Pacific, but only because we have the technology to detect radiation in infinitesimal amounts.
Hawaiian is one of Hawaii's official languages (the other being English). Drivers licences in Hawaii are issued by the state, so they should have to support the Hawaiian language. In effect, the state of Hawaii has already come up with standardization: English or Hawaiian.
You're absolutely right, that's why we plan to release a "run on your server / embed on your device" runtime.

Having it online for configuration has at least two advantages:

1/ Easier to start (1 minute and you're playing with it)

2/ Leverage existing, "live" data to build your configuration
> Would the practicality of a "CO2 vent to space" work?

No. The atmosphere is not isolated from space in way that could be addressed by venting (selective or not).

You could in principal isolate CO2 and launch it into space (long-term, that's an oxygen-depletion strategy, but, ignoring the resource requirements, it might be better than building it up in the atmosphere on some time scales), but when you consider the resource (including energy) costs of launching material into space, that's a pretty bad idea, especially given that if you can isolate it, you can sequester it on earth with the same atmospheric effect without launching it into space.
I thought Google only switched it from A-records to NSA-records...?
If you're going to be this nasty, you'd better be right, and in this case you're not. If I went in person to Nepal to find people who need help, I still wouldn't do as good a job as Watsi.

The one useful thing about your comment is that it gives us a way to measure the background radiation of mean-spiritedness online. Watsi is about as good as anything ever gets. The founders are as selfless as anyone I've known. And they are not merely unrealistic do-gooders. They know well what things are like in the field. If people wholly focused on doing good and very effective at it still manage to get attacked online, that's therefore the baseline for being attacked online.
I hate advertisers because:

1) The sense of entitlement they feel - "I should have a right to telephone you at any time, or to mail you junk, or to interrupt your viewing, or to scrape your email address from somewhere and email you garbage, or to use obnoxious loud music or other weird techniques."

2) The destruction of the WWW as a useful source of information, moving instead to really foul pointless content farms or link farms or other weird useless broken sites. Or to sites that are just massive collections of everything, but with no concept of curation. I don't want (eg) every different spectacles case ever made anywhere in the world available from one website - because most of them really are pretty similar. I want a nicely chosen list of twenty different cases.

3) The fear of most sites to let go of advertisers and to just let me pay for the content.
You need something like half of the Sahara to produce the global primary energy consumption from solar panels alone. [1] ( Or the next few largest deserts combined.) So this is certainly not easy, but it is on the scale of doable. On the other hand, there are reasons why no one has ever tried to finance a nuclear power plant out of his own pockets, it is basically a bet on the interest rate of the next 30 years. ( And besides, we see in Germany that nuclear power gets slaughtered in the market when there is too much renewable energy. [2])

[1] 100 TW primary energy, 100 W/m^2 for solar irradiation on earth and 20% efficiency of the solar cells. Then you need 5e6 m^2.

I've built several production systems using node/express/jade + require/backbone/handlebars, and I completely see why you made OJ. To me, OJ is the logical next step, just beyond where we are now. Please ignore the hate and accept my Kudos.
Looks great. I am also using a Chromium-based browser, so half the elements do nothing when I click on them, but that's understandable seeing how new this is.

I'd guess the intelligence use of it is likely more important to the powers that be to risk a backlash against using it to catch speeders.

Paul, as a mostly former journalist, I'm going to say I think you are mostly reacting to the grafs about funding/Silicon Valley greed machine, and being referred to as "recently controversial."

> Bona fide administrative costs are part of the money that goes to the charity's goals.

Yes, but that requires a definition of "bona fide", something easier said than done. Yo can run a charity with 50 staff, or five staff and terrific computer software, as just one example where there's no wrongdoing, but a big difference in outcome. The problem is that many charities don't think of themselves as businesses with a bottom line.

I speak as a philanthropist with many decades of experience.

> ... there's a pretty big difference between the allegations against Mortenson in Three Cups of Deceit (or the findings of the Montana investigation into Mortenson's use of CAI funds) and bona fide administrative expenses.

You clearly missed the point of the "Three Cups" story. It only came to light because some insiders weren't on board. That problem is easily solved -- feather each nest equally.

> Abuse of funds (whether administrative or not) is an issue orthogonal to the share of funds used for administrative purposes.

That's quite false. In many cases of charity abuse, administrative costs is the exploitable and exploited defect, as it certainly was in the "Three Cups" story. Another is the cost of fundraising, which in some cases undermines the entire charity by paying too much in fundraising costs for each donated dollar.

I don't think we disagree here. I'm also in Houston, and though I haven't read them recently, I'm happy to know that the terms & conditions for my EZ tag properly lay out what they'll use it for. If the New York tags similarly expressed the ability of the companies to use the tags everywhere, I'd be completely in agreement.

> I'd like to see things like [...] the tags also reporting when they are accessed, and by whom.

Agreed; I already get a monthly letter saying "here's every place you went where you were charged a toll". How hard would it be do the same (at least on the website) with all the places your car was tagged-but-not-tolled?

Historically the delta between 16 and 32 GPRs has not made a huge difference to most algorithms (where the move from 8 to 16 was worth maybe 20% on typical code). Obviously there are outliers, but no: this was all hashed out in the early days of x86_64, when the early Athlons were turning in per-transistor-cycle performance numbers at or above what was seen in the RISC world.

Basically: more registers means less spilling and filling to memory, but more work in context switches and for non-leaf function calls to save the extra data. It's all about tradeoffs. Note that no one ever went to a 64 GPR ISA (Itanium and Sparc have more than 32, but they do it with a stack engine that takes the work off the user code for the most part).

ARMv8 is clean and nice, and 64 bit computation is clearly the future just as it is in the desktop world. But it's not a revolution (again, just as it wasn't in the desktop world) and we shouldn't try to make it one.
We have support for a"ServerInfo" file checked into OpenSSL. This is a file with PEM blobs that can specify TACK and similar data (e.g. Certificate Transparency) that an OpenSSL server will return to clients if requested. This is a generic mechanism for TLS Extensions instead of TACK-specific, but it's what we need.

It will hopefully appear in OpenSSL 1.0.2. We'll be submitting Apache patches for it shortly. Daniel Jackoway (in this thread somewhere) is working on the NSS (client-side) corollary.
So what is the point of this post?
>> The salient benefit isn't the 64-bit address space per se, but the benefits of a next-generation architecture.

This is what I thought too..

So is Gruber exaggerating when he says "There are serious performance gains by going 64-bit. Addressing more than 4 GB of memory is not the only advantage"?

People referred to them as "No Such Agency" for a long time. It's kind of nice to see how they went from extreme public obscurity to a household name; it's hard to stay clandestine when even Joe Nobody knows who you are and exactly what you do.

Someone famous once said something to the effect of: "When people believe in nothing, they will believe anything."

Interestingly enough most of those people are completely in denial about their own irrational zealotry.
Edit: I think PG answered this accurately in just one line above. The following thoughts might help the OP.

I think this has been tried before, with nReduce[1]. And failed. Story of taking a company off the ground is not so simple. And that story doesn't separate the role of investors and founders in such a discreet unattached manner:

> Founders focus exclusively on the startup. Investors care primarily about traction and who else is investing, so these decisions can be made remotely

No it doesn't work like that. Founders and investors together focus on the startup == traction i.e. building something that people want. That sense of togetherness gives the baby startup a chance of survival. Success is not guaranteed even then, mind you.

For other points:

> 1. Everything is remote.

I doubt this is even possible. Incorporation, paperwork is but one moment/small step of creating a company. It could be done remotely even today.

> 2. Cohorts are rolling.

Perhaps this is possible, however it's important not to discount the energy, vibe and support system of the batch psychology.

> 3. Partners are decoupled. You can book time with anyone and you know exactly what they specialize in, so there are no wasted meetings.

I think this would be hard on partners simply because he/she would be bombarded and not have enough time to digest and respond effectively. Also there is a saying that when the student is ready, the teacher appears.

> 4. Decisions made in 48 hours.

Handling anxiety and calm is one great attribute to have in entrepreneurship. That said, quicker decision making is always good unless rushed too soon.

> 5. Demo days all over the world. Demo days would be expanded out to metro hubs: LA, SF, NYC, etc. Kickstarter operates well and it’s run entirely online.

By 'all over the world' and LA, SF, NYC I think you mean just America. There could be a solution to demoing all over the world. Getting covered on Tech news and blogs is a form of it. The question is whom do you want to demo to?

It sounds like you are just great at sales for creative work. If that's the case, perhaps you can make more money doing BD for a dev shop or creative agency? I think the question is what the end goal is: if it's to make a lot of money, you'll have to model out the time, resources, and clients you'll need to make X amount of money and weight that vs the opportunity cost of doing BD for someone else. If it's the autonomy/owning your own business, that's a different set of analyses.

How were you able to convince the publisher to let you put up an online version for free?

Also, please collect data regarding whether this harms book sales. If it turns out not to have any significant effect, then this could be cited as evidence in any future circumstance where someone is trying to convince a book publisher to approve of releasing an online version of a book.
>Good grief. Then unplug your damned devices and go live in a cabin somewhere. Many of us speak as if our lives were so profound that governments everywhere are just dying to violate us.

It's not about boring people living boring lives. They can go on doing whatever and not care. This is about people whose rights get violated, people that do things, from investigative journalism, to politics, to corporate whistleblowers, etc.

And it's not just about some boring, cozy little suburbian part of the world (as if Nowheresville, Iowa and Sunville, California is all there exists), it's also about people living in oppressive regimes, fucked up governments etc.

Those people push society forward. If it were only for people whose "lives are not profound", then we would still have slavery, no women's vote, no gay rights, and 15 hour workdays (including for children).
ARMv8 has twice as many registers which can improve performance.
A few days ago, there was a lot of talk about how Tor has backdoors, because it is funded by the US Government.

The answer to that question is also here. You have the NIST, a government entity that is opposing another government entity, the NSA, because the former does not agree with the latter's practices. We should not forget that the government is not one cohesive entity and this is an example of that.

If you're looking for a nice validation API that doesn't require jQuery, I've been working on one recently for forms: https://github.com/segmentio/validate

I personally really dislike working with jQuery plugins, because their APIs tend to be very poorly thought out. And using strings as a way to call methods is generally unfortunate, especially when they are snake-cased like these ones.

> What about immediate improvements to battery life? Teich thinks that’s unlikely. “The only way battery life gets better with greater than 32-bit address spaces is to prevent swapping apps from physical memory to either SSD or HDD and then back again,” he said.

If there's anything left in the ruble...
If people are increasingly likely to trade in their phones, rather than just putting their old ones in a box, then the difference in value becomes an even more relevant concern.

It's difficult to imagine the 5c having within $100 of the trade in value of the 5s in a couple years, and therefore little chance of making sense, even if you think a 4% discount on the two-year TCO matters. (approximately $2500 vs $2600)
The most important component of a strategy to reduce CO2 emissions is a carbon tax, which is economically equivalent to a cap-and-trade system. However, people involved in tech seem to be especially prone to what I call a "problem solving" bias: discrete problems require discrete solutions, and we just have to figure out if the right solution is solar, nuclear, or the Savory Institute. The (correct) economic point of view is that there are many possible solutions, and a carbon tax properly incentivizes implementing all of them.

On the issue of China, because their per capita emissions are so low, and any reasonable global cap and trade system would allocate CO2 emissions rights to countries on a per-capita basis (or at least per-capita indexed to some base year like 1960), China is not actually the bad guy, and under a fair cap and trade system they would be net sellers of CO2 credits not the other way around. However too many people are blinkered by anti-Sinitism to accept this fact.
Sorry, but there will always be new tools and newer, better ways of doing things: best-practices will aways change, and people will always need to be re-educated. This is even more true in this industry than anywhere else, and I've noticed that the rate of this change has been dramatically increasing (which is why there's such framework fatigue in this thread).

Do you have any other reason why we shouldn't use OJ?
Yeah I vote that it be our first priority to implement those immediately after we complete our framework.

And then we can have laymen code the templates and styling because it will be so simple.

Don't be a idiot. You should know as well as anyone that simply "being in public" actually preserves a large amount of privacy and anonymity. Consider, for, instance, what would happen if any of the countless people you pass by daily decided to follow your every step, stalking you, recording everything you say and do, waiting for you in the street when you got home, then relentlessly pursuing you again when you leave.

You'd have the person arrested for harassment.

In a functioning democracy, it's not the thickness of the doors that prevents them from being kicked in, but the strength of the laws that restrains those who would do the kicking. Likewise, the "reasonable expectation of privacy" is not limited to the narrow range of situations in which violations are physically impossible, but the much broader range of situations in which violations are corrosive enough to be socially and politically unacceptable.
One interesting point that I haven't heard talked about nearly enough is that now Apple has ported its kernel and build infrastructure to A64. iOS and OS X share a great deal of code, so it wouldn't be crazy to predict that Apple may move to put their next generation of "Desktop Class" (hint hint) A64 chips in the Air or Macbook Pro.

Now that Apple has their kernel running on a modern 64 bit architecture, it would almost be crazy for them NOT to focus on putting their specially optimized A8 core into their notebooks.
Great technology.

But it reminds me a little bit to perl cgi in the 90's.

I wish I'm wrong.
I have never looked fat, in baggy clothes. In tight fitting clothes, years ago when I was at my grossest, someone called me "the fattest skinny person i've ever seen."

I began to exercise a lot. A lot to lose that beer belly. Finally it mostly came off. Then I fell for the excuse of "you need to eat more to gain muscle!" and ate the amount of calories some online calculator told me i'd need to maintain a given weight.

I've never had abs, and I didn't get them then. I could out-run, out-squat, out-jump any crossfit contender I met; and I was still kind of flabby. My motivation sank. I moved away and stopped my routine. I went back to drinking and eating a lot, without working out as much. I lost strength. The belly began to return.

Recently I arbitrarily decided to cut out drinking for two months, which helped a lot. Then I decided to cut out wheat. Not gluten, just wheat and products made from it. So far? I'm looking more cut than I ever did, and i'm hardly exercising. Eating smaller portions and less empty calories/alcohol is giving me the body image I always wanted. (It's probably just the lack of calories and not the wheat specifically)
Why are non-technical people looking at JSON?
OK, I won't add another "Why?"...but I'll just say that this paradigm already evokes a stomach-turning reaction from some people...why do the colors have to be so off-putting? It's tolerable on a standard Mac screen, but on my (cheaper) Dell monitor...which, let's face it, a lot of monitors are uncalibrated, the colors are not comforting...

There's already a lot of work put into this, it's worth going that extra step and make things look less like the messy days of HTML and Java and Flash a decade ago.
I almost agree with you, but there's a qualitative difference between obsession and focus just like addiction vs. dedication.

Focus/Dedication is something you can choose to do, it's a tool you can use (though some people's tools work better than others). When you need to stop you can and then move onto other things.

Obsession is something that controls you, you are the tool being used, and when it's time to move on the obsession continues to control you keeping you under its thumb.
