>UI's _need_ discoverability and plane cockpits do not

Interestingly enough, Boeing has a world-class ergonomics research/implementation department focusing on solving problems just like this within the cockpit.

You see, it turns out that pilots were occasionally activating the switch for Undercarriage when they meant to activate the Flaps switch, because the switches were near each other on the console and they looked identical. This despite the switches being clearly labeled, and despite the intensive training that pilots undergo. Apparently this was enough of a problem that a habit developed amongst some pilots, of sticking a tiny paper cup over the Undercarrige switch shortly after each takeoff (the kind of tiny paper cup that they serve you your tiny cup of water in).

The Boeing folks were tasked with this issue, researched likely causes and tested potential solutions, and (IIRC) came up with the idea of physically/visually distinguishing the switches, and furthermore to actually design each switch to be visually reminiscent of the feature it controls.

(Hopefully I related this story correctly, it comes from a textbook-level source I read ages ago).
When you are used to having money, you're more likely to think that material things can be replaced. A bag of candy is a much smaller deal when you make 100k a year as opposed to 20k, so you don't think as much of it.

Just one thought.
You know that the majority of US cities house less than a million people, right? Seattle, San Francisco, Detroit, Boston, Denver, Washington DC, Las Vegas, Atlanta, Miami, etc. There are only 9 cities in the whole US with over a million people.

It wasn't Lisp all the way down in the Lisp Machine design--it was a microcoded engine, of course. Though, yes, the system software was written in Lisp.

There was a front-end processor (designed by Howard Cannon, who also was the main designer of the Flavors system) which loaded the microcode and booted up the main processor.

This comment on the article reflects why many people that I have met personally do not have checking accounts or bank accounts. They are worried about having money seized.

From the comment section of the article -"If you would really like to know why poor people regular these establishments I'll tell you why: it's because they keep you off the grid. I used to have a checking account too all my life. But after I lost my job, even though I'm a fulltime single father, the "child extort" kidnappers levied my checking account several times. They just took money at will no questions asked. There was no rules stopping them and nothing I could do. The Sheriff of Nottingham might as well been barging in me and my daughters tiny apartment and stealing all of our shillings. So after the "child extort" agency did this 3 times, I shut down the account. And from that moment forward I just began to live off the grid using cash and money orders. "

Massively Changing Microeconomic Incentives in the Macroeconomy
Good question.

I had tried this approach and had issues in getting it to work. Particularly, how to specify that jade was still a dependency in package.json. Both regular dependency and peer dependency didn't seem to fit the bill.

A simple proof-of-concept would be to take the built-in binary and have that be it's own package which depends on jade and jade-inheritance.

If you can offer some advice on how to go about this, could you create an issue? https://github.com/paulyoung/jade-inheritance/issues

Thanks!
I didn't like the intersection example.

They say drivers of high end cars are more likely to 'break the law'.

That's true but in this case I think it's just a civil issue. I phrase it differently. Since this is a civil issue (i.e. just a fine) I'd phrase it as drivers of luxury car are more likely to risk a fine of X$. At that point you have a totally banal observation.

What would be interesting is to separate out the price sensitivity from the behavior.

For example, maybe fines should be based on a percentage of income instead of an absolute amount. Say 1% of income (with an absolute minimum).

So if you run an intersection and you have the median income (40K) the fine is $400. If you run an intersection and you make 500K ... the fine is $5000. I bet you'd see the discrepancy narrow or disappear.
So basically the check cashers have become more like banks, and folks who are short on human interaction value that more than the extra couple bucks a monolith that pushes you to an ATM (that may charge you extra for your withdrawal as well) costs.

Wonder if any banks will see this as a proper wake up call...
From what I read it seems that they controlled for that. Even in the experimental game setting, where both players are just as rich in real life, the player thats richer inside the game starts exibiting those unseemly behaviours.

> But we found consistently with people who were the rich players that they actually started to become, in their behavior, as if they were like rich people in real life. They were more likely to eat from a bowl of pretzels that we positioned off to the side. They ate with their mouths full, so they were a little ruder in their behavior to the other person.
It's definitely not the case that climate scientists are uninterested in discussing methodological problems with paleoclimate proxies. A considerable amount of the literature is taken up with doing precisely that, and it takes up a good portion of the Paleoclimatology section of the IPCC report: http://www.ipcc.ch/pdf/assessment-report/ar4/wg1/ar4-wg1-cha...
Did you read the article? They were able to reproduce the effects by making people feel richer, by giving them a leg up in Monopoly, after determining which player would get said leg up by a coin toss. Unless you think participant wealth was substantially impacting that coin toss, they did rule out correlation (and causation in the other direction) being the sole explanation.
This article validates one my key beefs with "big data" - databases (like chexsystems in the article) remove slack from the system. Humans need slack and only humans can provide slack.

In the short term that may seem like a good idea, removing slack appears to increase efficiency. But in the long run it is socially destructive -- we are all people, not just numbers and reducing us to numbers ignores much of the realities of life. When you can't take into account the realities of life, then the imperfect systems that the databases model as perfect fall apart.
For what it's worth, I'm unable to replicate this on a 5s running 7.0.1.
Stephen Hawking: brain could exist outside body
Because their sympathy isn't the same anymore. All of the people thought: if I were running this, how much would I be OK with people taking? So the people with less money took less because they assumed the people running the show were like them. And the rich people took more, for the exact same reason.
But is stopping at the light really about avoiding fines? For most people I know, that kind of trafic rule is more about respecting fellow drivers and pedestrians than its about avoiding a monetary penalty.

The only real exception is speed limits because in that case, respecting other people has more to do with keeping the same speed as everyone else than driving under an arbitrary limit.
My skepticism in climate change is based on a long history of censuses in the scientific community that later proved to be completely wrong.

I'm not saying we should not try to understand the world. I'm saying we should realize we have limits. The more complex the system we seek to understand, the more we should be skeptical. The climate of the entire planet and to the degree one particular species impacts it seems extremely complex to me. Hence, I am highly skeptical.

I don't know. that's why I said it'd be interesting to separate the behavior from the price sensitivity.
Let me guess, you're a Republican?

The OP made a perfectly legitimate observation. People should be skeptical of anyone trying to prove a point by showing a graph.

The strategy of chasing price conscious consumers seems to have failed. Fairly recently, Blackberry was voted "coolest youth brand" in South Africa, while they flooded the market with poorly built, cheap Curves (I had a Curve, which took 10 minutes to boot). As bandwidth costs have come down, unlimited BIS has become less important. And people realise that having to give their phones in for fixing every six months is a poor deal.

I sometimes see the argument that a product being popular in the developing world is a ray of hope but Nokia's decline (despite dominating feature phone market with quality phones), along with Blackberry's decline is a signal that third world consumers are not a long-term cash cow.
He presented it in a joking way, but it would be hard for me to believe that he or the larger kernel community hasn't been approached. Backdoors through cooperation would be the least effort and surest way to get in and stay in. Backdoors by stealth would risk discovery and removal.
In the maps linked below, each isotherm represents a 2 C difference. So a global rise of 2 C would be equivalent to a 100-200 km or so shift towards the equator, for a given location. Or nearly equivalent to the temperature difference in the center of a major city compared to its suburbs.

Your comment or mine?
I'll give you some more hints:

His company came out with a "secure" voice encryption product, and then a previously unknown anonymous hacker reviewed the product and its competitors, and wrote a suspiciously positive review of it, claiming it was the only one he couldn't break. His company then published a press release trumpeting the favorable review, right before a big mobile security conference.

A suspicious security researcher baited the anonymous hacker to post on his blog, and it turned out he was using an ip addressed registered to the security company whose product he'd written a favorable review about.

When confronted with proof, the founder of the security company denied astroturfing, denied knowing the hacker, and implausibly claimed the anonymous hacker must have been using his company's anonymous browsing service.

The same security company founder who spent three years in jail for phone phreaking, because he was convicting of hacking and defrauding profit. The same security company who stores their user's passwords in unhashed unsalted plain text encrypted with a key on their server. The same security company who resets their user's passwords with their email address. The same security company whose founder claims that "many customer do not wish their password to be reset each time they have a problem" justifies not hashing passwords, and resetting passwords to "convenient" email addresses. The same security company whose founder refuses to change his "unconventional" security policies after being confronted with these facts, and instead makes ridiculous excuses for his incompetence, and continues to betray the trust of his customers even after he's been confronted with it.

Can you figure out who it is now?

I agree. I've been doing professional illustration for print (among other things) since the late 70s. My most recent published project is a book cover illustration. I have access to a huge range of media - gouache, acrylics, oils, pastel, oil bars, inks, etc - as well as pressure sensitive graphics tablets and various painting and illustration software for desktop platforms.

I was free to choose any of these, but I chose to use an iPad because it allows the immediacy of sketching and painting with natural media and the significantly faster turnaround of digital image making.

Like any tool it takes some adjustment, but once it clicks, there is nothing more immediate than using your finger(s) to directly paint an image. The fat touch region is a non-issue once you've learned to use it - after all, there's nothing terribly immediate about flexing one's fingers and having a mark appear 2-10 cm away at the tip of a pencil, pen, or brush - we've just become so accustomed to it that it seems "normal." A bit of time with an iPad and tablet finger painting seems equally immediate and natural.

That headline is a contradiction.
I think this stinks. The Science paper says their reconstruction is smoothed and has low time resolution. They say it preserves no variability at all on timescales <300 years, and attenuates even 1,000 year variations. Superimposing this with the 30-year Hadley data seems misleading, because it is on a very short timescale which is suppressed from the paleologic data.

(edit):

"Because the relatively low resolution and time uncertainty of our data sets should generally suppress higher-frequency temperature variability, an important question is whether the Holocene stack adequately represents centennial- or millennial scale variability. [...] The results suggest that at longer periods, more variability is preserved, with essentially no variability preserved at periods shorter than 300 years, ~50% preserved at 1000-year periods, and nearly all of the variability preserved for periods longer than 2000 years (figs. S17 and S18)."

I've been buying Mp3s from amazon for years - and the amazon downloader loads them to itunes seamlessly.

i started using amazon when itunes had a problem downloading MP3s properly - i keep my mp3 library on a NAS drive and amazon would write the file to C: before moving to the network, never seemed to have a problem. Itunes had a problem with this for a year or so before it seemed to resolve. itunes support was not helpful with this.

Plus - amazon has no conversion issues. i sometimes speed up songs for running using audacity, and you need to convert mp4s to mp3s before you can do this. with amazon - no conversion required.

not to mention that it is cheaper, sometimes 5.49 vs 9.99 for an album.

and now you can use the amazon cloudplayer from any computer. and they were giving away a special on cloud storage so i uploaded a copy of my old MP3s to amazon.
Is it safe to update to the nightly releases? Can you do it automatically?

I just upgraded to the latest release candidate (from a 1+ year old version) and it re-locked my phone and disabled the Google Play store. I finally figured out after much googling that I had to reflash google apps but was pretty stressed for a while there.

I'm wondering if perhaps I auto-update to nightlies if I wouldn't run into that problem again, but then I'm also worried about a bad release.

Are you trying to do this with existing solutions?

If yes, then:
galleryproject.org - This is a open gallery that does much of what you want. It is a gallery first and a store second.

joomla.com - If you need a bit more than what workpress can do joomla is very flexable and you can setup the security the way you want. There are a number of stores that you can integrate into joomla.

Best of luck!

"Amazon cloudplayer" can play MP3s you've purchased on your phone, on the web, or on a windows/mac client. It can also be used to purchase new songs or as a media player of other music (from any source) on your pc or phone.
The realclimate.org post discusses that as a potential issue, yes. See the section following the sentence: Because the proxy data have only a coarse time resolution – would they have shown it if there had been a similarly rapid warming earlier in the Holocene?
Yup. At the end of the Dog Days of August, expecting an early hard frost. We'll be wishing for "warming" soon enough.
> I've switched between iPhone and Android and I've never noticed it. OS lag, yes

A lot of less technical music geeks prefer winamp, but as a more technical user I really love Foobar2000. doesn't have any of the flashy UI of other player, but the UX is really top notch once you learn your way around it. My favorite part is how it adheres to the pythonic principle of "Explicit is better then implicit" in playback. You have your library and your playlist, and you play things my adding them to your playlist from your library. Dead simple, and easy to do plenty of complicated stuff with. Also it has a huge plugin community, and can even cater to every audiophile whim, if you swing that way.
Intel has been a phenomenal success story without major government assistance (that I know of, at least). But I guarantee that the government would bail it out if it ever fell on hard times. We seem to be entering a new era of international protectionism, and I suspect that more subsidies, protections, and tariffs are on the way.

Whether government investment or assistance is necessary for deep technological R&D is a really interesting question. A preponderance of our hardware (and many of our software) advances, even in the private sector, were built on the back of major government R&D investment. As you've pointed out, a lot of this has come from the military-industrial complex.

Our major companies (other than Goldman Sachs and its peers) don't receive the same level of protection that the Korean chaebol, or the Japanese Big Four, or the Chinese or even French conglomerates do. But that may change in the near to distant future. It will depend upon our domestic firms' abilities to compete on an international playing field that is increasingly turning toward the chaebol model, and not so much the free-market model.
I remember reading about this in the book "About Face" about interaction design at least 10 years ago. It is a problem good interaction designers already care about. I think it's more a problem of upper management understanding that maintaining some slack can be more important than squeezing every last dollar from every transaction.
How accurately can we track CO2 concentration over long timespans? I get that climate science is hard and produces nebulous answers based on arguably nebulous data, but when I read about about ocean acidification and see the long-term graphs from respected organizations [1] as a layman it's really quite alarming.

I.e. maybe the climate won't spiral out of control, but it seems reasonable to be concerned about the alarming levels of CO2. As a new parent I'd love to have my dire fears of catastrophe awaiting future generations assuaged by rational hard science, but (as a layman) everywhere you look the picture is pretty bleak.

I agree as far as the ritual of making it in homes goes, but in a restaurant using a machine doesn't bug me much. Even when the coffee is made in a briki/cezve, at a larger store it'll be in a big assembly-line process in the kitchen, which doesn't really capture much mystique for me, and isn't visible to me anyway: all I see is that some coffee comes out a bit after I order it. So in that case it's just as well, to me, if a machine does it, as long as the quality is the same.

It's a tough situation, it has a lot to do with momentum. If these check cashers had profitable local ventures to invest in, they could hold deposits and pay out interest.

Because there isn't a lot going on in the area, a deposit/commercial bank isn't interested in the area and in turn, business people in the area do not have as many local sources of capital.

In place that need it, entrepreneurship would lead to a rise in saving.
