It might be a challenge but there's no need to completely dismiss the possibility.

Here is a $5 keychain that can record for 1.5 hours. http://www.amazon.com/808-Car-Chain-Camera-Recorder/dp/B0084...

I'm sure Google and the countless engineers and scientists working on advanced battery technology could make something work for a reasonably long amount of time.

And there's no reason that you couldn't put a laptop size battery in a bookbag with a cord to the glasses and have an all day charge. Either 3 hrs without the optional extra battery or 24 hrs with the 3 lbs bookbag battery, that doesn't sound so bad to me, at least until we create better batteries.
I don't think standard Markdown as specified by John Gruber can handle that. You can't use (a,b,c). It has to be arabic numerals.

Markdown will ignore the actual value of the digits. (1,2,3) or (1,1,1) will both be rendered as (1,2,3). This is a result of the way that HTML & CSS deal with lists. The HTML has no way to specify the value to a list item. However, you can use CSS to specify the way each list nesting level is styled. So you can have a list that has Roman Numeral -> Uppercase Letter -> Arabic Numeral -> lowercase letter

Some enhanced version of Markdown may get you closer to what you want. I use MultiMarkdown and check it, but it doesn't support directly using (a,b,c) notation either.
FYI, this page only links to Amazon which says shipping on the 20th - but if you go to the Google Play Store and Devices, it's there in multiple colors (black, or white w/accents) and ships by the 11th.
We all recognize the importance of fire safety, but there is no excuse for the design of smoke and CO detectors to be so painfully obnoxious. If it motivates homeowners to disable them, it is a bad design, isn't this obvious?

When one of these things has a low battery, it chirps intolerably - but only every 30 minutes!! So when this happens at night, and there are several of them in the residence, you are literally kept awake half the night, waiting by one after another, just to figure out which one needs a battery.

I could go on, but all this is familiar. All they need is some thoughtful UI, and the Nest model looks excellent in this respect. It does not compromise safety - it will still go off if a human doesn't interact with it right away. It has other flaws (wifi required? no thanks; and probably expense) but this is an improvement over the "dumb" models.

Truly impressive and wonderful, thank you. I have one request - please add more thunder! Or the ability to create more rumbling low rolling thunder noises.

The site is fantastic - and the aesthetics of the background pics you chose are very well done.
> But I agree loud and sensitive better than the alternative

You don't have to choose! If you want the loud alarm to go off when it detects X PPM, have a gentle alert go off when it detects (0.9 * X) PPM.
I am always perplexed by stories like this. These ports are on all sorts of machines from all sorts of vendors - deliberately crippling your self-branded hardware that can easily be swapped out for a working version (potentially with a refund in some jurisdictions) seems very shortsighted.

This graph is pointless, revenue is not the same as profit. Sure total revenue has stayed the same but that tells you nothing about profit.

One the the major increases in revenue is concerts. They are expensive and often operated at a loss to promote physical media sales
That is a good question. I will first repeat the advice often given to startup founders: Get it working first, find a was to monetize it second.

Beyond that, I have had a few thoughts. Yes, I actually agree that this would be a harder endeavour to monetize than most startups, but if it really came to it, you could make a profit. I did not really go deep into these considerations, as (like I said) I don't actually have the resources at the moment to make it a reality, but my main idea was to integrate it somehow with the bitchain. AFter that, there are several ways you can profit. Say, have each post cost a fraction of a bitcoin to propagate it along. It would encourage others to catch the posts and pass them around in the same way bitcoin miners getting bitcoins for mining encourages bitcoin mining. And then I could charge a commision on that.

That is one example, of course I would have to way up all the pros and cons of each approach, and of course there is the drawback of any monetization system necessarily introducing some point of centralization, even in a otherwise entirely decentralised system.
That is a seriously sensationalist title for this Q&A article.
> My impression is that refactoring with an IDE is mainly an artifact of Java, not Clojure.

I don't think this should be so. If an IDE could help refactor Clojure - why not?

> Whereas an IDE is often used to generate repetitive code in files -- i.e. Automated Repeat Yourself.

Yes, IDEs do that, too, but IDEs had existed long before this feature came about. There's probably no need for code generation in Clojure, but an IDE could still help with debugging, building, navigating the code, refactoring, and maybe even new things like Light Table tries to do.

I agree that IDE functionality matches the programming language. But IDE features are not a pre-specified set. I'm sure there are many ways IDEs could help Clojure (or any other language).

I'm interested in the number of people in this thread who have little idea about how their smoke detectors work - where to put the batteries or what the flashing LED means, for example.

Smoke detectors are a safety critical device which save many lives each year.

It's fucking stupid to not know where these are, and how to keep them serviced. Recommendations are that you test smoke detectors each week. 9v batteries are, for this purpose, dirt cheap. Change all of them at the same time. Or buy a more expensive detector with a 10 year battery. (Or buy the Nest device.)

http://www.fireservice.co.uk/safety/smoke-alarms

* Once a week test each alarm by pressing the test button till the alarm sounds.

* Once a year change the battery (unless it’s a ten-year alarm).

* Twice a year open the case and gently vacuum the inside using the soft-brush attachment to remove dust from the sensors. If it doesn’t open, vacuum through the holes.

* After 10 years it’s best to get a whole new alarm.

If you're living in an apartment building you can get fire alarms which tell you the zone an alarm is triggering in, which tells you what detector is having a problem with its battery.

Some people are comparing the Nest device with regular smoke detectors. That's gently misleading because the Nest alarms can link. That's nothing new, plenty of alarms link, but they are all more expensive than just a regular alarm.
Will you explain what the issue you have with this device is again? I think I must be too dense to understand.
> just more difficult

Why should she have to? If she's healthy and going further requires committing tremendous personal resources to weight-loss? For somebody who has a medical condition that causes their body to commit an inordinate amount of energy into fat production, reducing their intake to weight-loss levels may leave too little energy for the person to function effectively day-to-day. Or they may have to slave away on burning calories five hours a day. Is that a realistic project for the sake of vanity?
author of the post here - this is exactly what I meant.
Trivia: Lafargue was Marx's daughter's husband.
We're long past the point where you should be replacing smoke alarm batteries at all.

Put in a lithium battery. The lithium battery will last for the entire 10-year life of the smoke alarm. Thus, you should only replace smoke alarms -- not the battery.

In fact, these days, they're selling smoke alarms with sealed non-replaceable lithium batteries. This prevents people from attempting to use an alarm past end-of-life, and thus getting a false sense of security.

Change all the batteries and go back to sleep.

For me personally Chrome OS is that compelling, that is what I like about Chromebooks. The browser, where I live 90% of the time on computers, is the default view in Chrome OS. And I get an extremely secure OS that acts as a dummy terminal to more powerful computers.
I find it depressing how most of CSS related drawing is basically all just hacks. I saw the same a few weeks ago when someone posted a bunch of different CSS shapes - the code behind it was the most unintuitive stuff. It's like saying - here's a bicycle - now lets get another one and weld it together in some ugly way and make a car out of it. I dont understand why CSS / Browsers have not come far enough to natively support basic shapes? Surely if we can make self-driving cars - rendering things in browsers should be simpler? (yes I am aware of SVG & Canvas - but they dont work everywhere - dont get why the good folks at google , ms & mozilla cant get together and agree that the web shouldnt be full of ugly hacks masquerading as stylesheets).
Hmm, I don't know. I like my smoke detectors to be as simple as possible.

Complex tech that might cause some kind of hang and failure in critical devices gives me a bad feeling.
I think you're using "inherited" to mean "comes from your parents in any way," but that's not what it means in this context. If something is learned from your parents, then it would not be consider an "inherited trait".

I've been fat before. Used to eat a whole box of chocolate kudos bars a day as a kid. I don't think it's particularly odd to get made fun of for it. I got to eat the boxes of chocolates after all, it was a trade off. Other people worked harder and cared more about their health and are welcome to their opinions and the benefits of their work. Seems to be kind of shirking responsibility to say no one can criticize you for it. Even if you have health conditions you still have to put enough calories in your mouth to get that large and that is your decision. I think she is kind of hurting herself by wasting so much time issuing take down orders and contacting comment authors. It didn't matter what they said, but using up your time to fight them, that actually is a big negative to you, you could be out spending that time enjoying yourself.
We should celebrate Ladar for making the decision to put himself at risk in order to protect his users, but I think we should be careful not to forget that Ladar was forced to make that decision because the security of Lavabit was all a total handwave.

This wasn't untested water, either. The exact same thing happened to Hushmail for the exact same reason, and should have been evidence enough that the model isn't viable.

So I think we should definitely support Ladar as a person, but we also need to be careful not to confuse that with supporting Lavabit, which was a very real danger that should never be repeated again (again).
This is entirely sensationalist. There is no safe way to just blast audio data to any old DVI monitor. Something bad might happen, and AMD didn't want to take that risk. So they (wisely) including configuration to disable a non-standard feature when they didn't think it would be supported. The only thing I could see them doing better is allowing vendors to add themselves to the whitelist, but that amounts to starting a standards group for audio over DVI.
If that's the issue OP has with the device, then I don't understand why. They made the statement that, "[t]hough the kitchen is the most common location for a fire in dwellings, kitchen fires are among the least likely to be fatal because cooking usually is attended and occurs during waking hours." This is in reference to their assertion that alarms which trigger from cooking are probably inappropriately placed and should (presumably) be further from the kitchen.

So if you're awake, in the kitchen, attending cooking, and you dismiss the alarm, how is this different from having no alarm in the kitchen? It seems like it would be an improvement, full stop.
I remember I was in middle school when I first realized that "funniest home videos" was actually quite distasteful. There were people being hurt; why is there an entire TV show about laughing at them? The joy of /r/cringe and the like is simply lost on me now.
>Is audio even included in DVI?

No, but audio is not on physical layer in HDMI.

> The HTML has no way to specify the value to a list item.

The "value" attribute of the HTML "li" element does exactly this, but setting the value isn't really what you need for what GP was asking for; setting the kind of marker is. This can, as you note, be done through CSS, but it can also be done through HTML (using the "type" attribute of the "ol" element.)

In the context of conversion of legal documents, where the marker type is intended for reference, it would be semantically correct to do this in HTML, so it would probably be desirable for markdown to support all the marker types supported by HTML for ordered list as markers for ordered lists, and set the type attribute correctly.

So, using a number should result in the current behavior, using a lowercase letter (other than one which might be a lowercase roman numeral, like "i"!) should result in lowercase-alpha markers, etc.
I think the messy desks in the article are exhibits of said persons ability to focus, despite the metaphorical chaos around them.

The desks might simply be a consequence of the huge volume of work these persons got done through the day and are a symbol of resilience at most, but not the cause of their success.

I have to confess I would love it if it were the other way around: only having to mess up my desk, and voila, extreme focus and productivity engaged! :)

Interesting analysis attempt though, I'll upvote this despite the wrong conclusion(s), I find myself reading almost anything from medium just because of the pleasant typography.
The nest thermostat is fucking stupid

Why do you think this? It's been a huge win for me. I routinely forget to adjust my thermostat when I leave the house, even sometimes on out-of-town trips. You could argue that I'm just a dumb idiot -- OK, that's fine -- but this hasn't been a problem since I got a Nest. Add in the other (relatively minor) energy conservation features and the savings have been pretty big.
Nobody said she has to. If she does want to, though, I think it's possible.

The Peace Prize and the science prizes have very little to do with each other except that all the prizes (except the economy prize, as you pointed out) was created by Alfred Nobel. The science prizes are awarded by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, while the Peace Prize is awarded by a 5 member committee appointed by the Norwegian parliament. So in some sense the Peace Prize is a political prize from the start, even if I don't think it was Nobel's intention.
Normally I'd agree, but the current crop of devices demonstrably have exactly that problem - they get disabled because of chronic false-positives. So some improvement/complexity is called for.

Also you can quickly wipe the thing before entering a situation where it might get lost/stolen/confiscated [1]. Then take 5 minutes to set it up again on the other end.

Something happened to me yesterday that I haven't quite had the time to figure out.

I'm normally the introverted "stay at home and relax" type, at least during the week. I frequently want to get home from work as early as possible to play video games, play music, or read. The only problem I've had lately is I've had little motivation to do the creative parts (e.g. creating music or programming something).

But last night I went to the gym after work, making me get home an hour later than usual. Then I went out to an open mic with some music friends and had food and beers. Then I came back home and played video games for an hour or so. Then I managed to actually write music for another hour and a half.

It was weird, because normally I'd feel like I had a huge block of time in front of me (in theory, "relaxing"), so I could do whatever I wanted. But the catch was that I actually wouldn't do them! I'd procrastinate, and feel like I wasn't using the time "best" way. Last night was so different, and I felt really energized this morning.

What's the takeaway? I don't know yet. Maybe I'll try to do more. It was fun.
Are you married? If so I'm surprised if you've never gotten the "OMG I THINK I LEFT MY HAIR STRAIGHTENER ON AND I'M SURE THE HOUSE IS BURNING DOWN. Can you go check?" phone call.

Having a single page where you can add in any filter you wanted would be awesome.
> Have you ever had your smoke detector do the low battery chirp? Because I will easily pay 6 times more to never hear that godawful sound ever again.

Or, you can pay $5 for a lithium battery that will last the life of the alarm. If it chirps, time to replace the smoke alarm.

(You did realize that smoke alarms should be replaced every ten years, right?)
A company that loses marketshare quickly is likely to declare bankruptcy - the two are not uncorrelated. Be careful what you wish for.
"Rapid takedown" was foisted on us in 1999 when the original registrar agreements were being negotiated at ICANN. At the time, it was held out as a threat - agree to rapid takedown, or be subject to US regulation. At the time we didn't realize that it was the intellectual property community making the threat - it came to us under the cloak of the ISP community, which we've since realized meant "Big Telco's with massive media holdings".

Its been a slippery slope every since.

oBDisclaimer: I work at a large registrar and was in the room when the original contracts were being discussed and negotiated. I'm sorry for the part I played!

I don't think piracy has been a problem for a while. Most casual pirates transitioned to free streaming services/YouTube.

The odd ranges on the x-axis also make this chart a little misleading.

It's also interesting to note how revenues switching from recorded music to concerts will effect artists. Previously you could go into the studio, record an album, and sell it. You then tour behind it to promote it.

Now with the money coming mostly from concerts you will have to tour a lot more. In other words revenue from concerts has gone up but it takes a lot more work to make money from concerts than recorded music.

Isn't that a bit controversial?
It's not really the most flexible option. It allows you to make only a fairly limited type of triangle, only pointing in one of eight directions.

If you want compatibility with older versions of IE, use both SVG and VML, depending on the browser (VML for IE 8 and earlier, SVG for everything else). This gives you a lot more flexibility (you can draw any polygon, arc, or bezier curve that you want), and compatibility all the way back to IE 5.
The two are utterly different. A donation necessarily means you no longer have the money, and will not be getting it back. Even a purchase generally means you wont get it back (that is, under normal conditions, I'm not going to get $100 selling a gadget I bought for $100). This sort of (non-)"risk" is understood by everyone, and there has never been an epidemic of people losing their retirements because they donated to a cause or purchased a gadget, even causes and gadgets that turn out to be outright scams.

An investment is not supposed to be a permanent and total loss of capital. On the contrary, the intent is to get more out than you put in. People depend on their investments for their financial futures. And there is a well-documented history of vast numbers of people losing everything to bad investments, especially investments pushed by scam artists from the small to the very large (like Madoff and Stanford).
That's right. Something to do with the different type of firmware used in the Chromebooks you couldn't install Windows on them. XFCE on ChromeOS is as close as you'll get.
