problem with audio is delay. even all analog you already had delays (granted some of the analogs are acumulators so...) but all the formats you see in audio are just lots of people, all with differents ideas of trade offs for delay and easy of use. you are on the far right... so do not invent a new one and use what we already have there, which is optical i think.
Possible concrete repercussions include:

Refusal of the EU bloc to cooperate over sharing banking and passenger data, and potentially other treaties down the line

Refusal of large South American nations to do trade deals or negotiate with the US, and a decline in US influence in the region

A move away from American dominance of the internet, and a reluctance to use companies with servers based in based in the US

The decline of the American empire, which is based on the tacit consent of the nations within their alliances like NATO (this one is more a long term potential outcome).

HAHA 3.5 Billion Valuation!

Honestly I am afraid that Snapchat will suffer the same fate as MySpace or DIGG once the younger generation finds something new (look at who uses google+, no one and I am not talking about your techy friends). We can already see young teens are leaving facebook. To be honest I stopped using it once my parents and other older adults started joining and that was 2-3 years ago.

"In US and Most of Europe, Bikes Outselling New Cars"
Ridiculous comparison.

This is not a displacement market. Few people chose bike OR car. It's more like car AND a few bikes. A family of four can do with one car yet needs four bikes.

As others pointed out, the case is the same in the US.
It does clearly include the average value and the USA value - even if it cherrypicks a few examples from the huge list of countries, these two numbers are enough to see that the impression isn't false.
Do you think that when CGI signed the contract they realized the integrator, the government's CMS, plus those above, HHS and the White House, would be constantly demanding major changes, right into the week before launch??? Also check the date of the "you must register first, no window shopping" decision, it was quite late and had a very major impact.

That CMS, responsible for integration testing, would delay that until 1-2 weeks before launch (see above change orders problem), see the tests failed, and launched anyway.

Well, I'm actually sure CGI wasn't surprised by the latter, but, still, I can't blame them for any of the above. The White House -> HHS -> CMS, all insufficiently experienced in running a major development project, turned out to be a customer from hell. Heck, given how important this site is, a key part of Obama's legacy, I and many others assumed the Administration would treat it with appropriate seriousness. We were wrong.

It really is astonishing how the most idiotic services gain so many users by "going viral." And it just motivates more hackers to work on being the next Snapchat or Instagram rather than putting in the effort to solve the real problems that plague our society.
I think you need to try a little harder than simply linking a wikipedia article section and saying "myth busted."

Specifically, women being more likely to initiate divorce has nothing whatsoever to do with what the parent is saying. The reason behind that statistic is that women are no longer as dependent on men and therefore have more freedom to end the marriage if they aren't happy with it.

For people having issues finding the files that need to be removed, look for anything related to Conduit; and remove that. SearchProtect and a few of the other names are not what the software is called in all cases it seems. I had to remove this from my wifes machine yesterday, and everything was related to a Conduit installer. No mention of SearchProtect.

uTorrent is gone in our case, I've moved her over to using Qget with our Qnap NAS and while it's not as feature rich as uTorrent it's a much better option. And it's one I can watch and control a little better as well!
That's really amazing, I think I can speek for the all IPython team by saying that we are Really happy with this.

We've cross a few authors that were writing books for O’Reilly with IPython Notebooks in the last few month and we have plan to help convert those to (and from) many format. We would be extremely happy to work with people from O'Reilly to simplify the conversion process.

We also have plan to integrate with publication in academic world (see https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/4119) but we really need more people involved than the few of us (Core Team).

Even if IPython seem like a big complicated project, moving forward in area like document conversion is not that hard, but just needs lots of eyes and tester to catch all cases.

As for people wanting to convert notebook to other format than those currently supported, it is perfectly possible using nbconvert with template.
We can spit the TeX that is just between begin/end document so you can include in your preferred dissertation template. It should be pretty easy to also just write a converter that export to asciidoc or doocbook.

For those interested of the idea behing how nbconvert I wrote this quite some time ago:
http://nbviewer.ipython.org/urls/raw.github.com/Carreau/post...
and
https://github.com/ipython/ipython-in-depth

Hope this will push some people to contribute, we'll always be happy do guide you in your first step.

The most horrific aspect of how it was handled was that they didn't tell anyone. They desperately tried to keep it quiet. They didn't even tell the people doing the emergency work what they were actually doing, many of whom sacrificed their own lives without knowing anything.

You could have had evacuations, people simply getting out of the way themselves, but no, there was silence. Only when it was clear that they couldn't keep things under wraps, did they own up to it. By that point, it was too late.

I was five at the time, living in Kiev. I remember being in kindergarten and I remember they rounded everybody up and told us they were going to take us away, an evacuation. But then they cancelled it. Nobody knew what was happening or why. Eventually my mom came home early, but she didn't know what was happening, only that something was happening. It was days before we found out and moved to stay with our relatives further north.

Wikipedia seems to support my memory of the event.

"The general population of the Soviet Union was first informed of the disaster on 28 April, two days after the explosion, with a 20 second announcement in the TV news program Vremya."

I'll take the Western approach to things. Capitalism and all. I don't care who's to blame or who goes to jail. I want to know so that I can protect myself.
This is soooo cool. I have been teaching my son about programming using Scratch.

The biggest problem is the huge gap between the kinds of programs a kid can make vs. the kind he can easily download. When I was a kid the kind of programs you could type into a C64 were not that different than anything you might get, so you had an incentive to learn how to do that.

Using Scratch to control hardware could be a really appealing way for them to learn about programming.

If I were the leader of a major world power right now, I would push for a law in my country that decriminalizes the hacking of any government systems of countries that have proven hostile to my countries government. The only exception would be the hacking of public infrastructure like transportation systems and public utilities. Everything else would be fair game. Seems like this approach would introduce and element of M.A.D. into the mix that would mitigate the current hostile actions we are seeing from the US via the NSA and China via the PLA.
$3.5B for an app lots of developers could create over the weekend is absolutely incredible. It also has absolutely no income, and very little avenue for actually gaining any. I don't know what they're doing to need seed money, I can only imagine that the service runs itself outside of tweaking EC2 instance sizes.

• As a point of reference, the average price of a new car in August was $31,252. (That's a US statistic, but all I found.) The average cost of a bicycle is probably three-figures.

• Ownership of the two is not mutually exclusive.

• Usage habits of the two vary wildly, probably mostly favoring cars, not only because keeping an unused car is far more expensive and complicated than keeping an unused bicycle is, and because people don't tend to buy cars the first week of January to work off those holiday pounds.

I'm not sure why this article matters much.
As a part of the system, I hope you'll work with the rest of the Wikipedia High Priests to address the problem that so many people have pointed out for years.

The ability to contribute to Wikipedia is based more on one's expertise navigating the insular secret-handshake culture of Wikipedia than upon actual expertise or knowledge.

Naturally, Wikipedia needs safeguards to protect against the vandalism, manipulation, and inaccurate information that would flood the site if left unchecked. But in doing so, it's grown into a secret club where only the people with time to learn its byzantine customs and rules participate. Some effort should be made to contribute, but the majority of one's time should be spent on subject matter expertise, gathering quality citations, and good, clear writing—not on learning the intricacies of entering said content.

I expect there's a certain badge of honor that comes from being a part of the system. Once you've put hundreds of hours into learning a system and joining a community, outsiders and newcomers are viewed with suspicion at best. Why let some latecomer barge in and just start writing when everyone already in the community had to work harder to get there? But it's that "community consensus" you talk about that makes Wikipedia the closed culture it is today. As long as a small, demographically homogeneous group holds the keys to participation, Wikipedia will suffer.

It's like the Catholic church, centuries ago, when the liturgy was in Latin, and only the initiated could have access to the scriptures—everyone else had to rely on their interpretations. Wikipedia needs its Martin Luther.
You (and I) keep that average up at 40 by balancing out all the bikes that get 0 km/yr.
I have to say, I'm a little shocked that Snapchat's valuation is only ~10% lower than Pinterest's (3.8bn)

I would think there is a pretty huge difference between their potential revenues
I predict that it will become acceptable for men to earn less than their wives, stay at home, and take care of the kids.

I also predict that those men will do so in a very masculine way.

Finally, I hypothesize that a lot of the demand for good breadwinners from women who already have all the bread they need is cultural rather than hormonal.

The best indicator that this is true is the massive difference in how couples behave in public (keep with the norms) and in private (endless variety). Another observation is that lots of "cultural revolutions" are simply formerly private activities becoming public.
Same thing here working for government... it's ridiculous.

What mathematical models? For your company financial assumptions and forecasts you generally need, in essence, the sum(...) function, percentages and multiplication, repeated ad nauseam, and if any of your formulas even have space for 'not easy to spot' bugs then the bug is in thinking of making such formulas in the first place.

I agree with your statement, re: Jobs, but disagree with your overall evaluation: the advice Jobs gave to Parker seems sound. It's important to note you are comparing a company that is 10 years older than Apple yet has a market cap an order of magnitude lower. Your anecdote is not incorrect, but it's not useful either since it doesn't show that Nike's original strategy was more useful. In fact, Nike's market cap has grown significantly (and significantly faster than it was growing before) since taking Jobs' advice, which is not to imply causation, but to refute the opposite. Nike may not have gotten rid of the shoddy cycling products (although we are talking post-2011, when did you sell Nike stuff?) but they did take Jobs' advice (at least according to Parker - I don't have the data on number of products).

> loads of historical subjects are not covered at all well

That's been precisely my experience too. Even compared to traditional encyclopedias and broad reference material, Wikipedia does not fare well at all.

Read one good book on the Middle Ages and you'll find hundreds of significant facts that would be appropriate for Wikipedia, but simply aren't there.
Extending your remarks, it is estimated that about 16 million people and families on the individual? market are losing their existing plans come Jan 1st because they aren't grandfathered and of course don't meet all the gold-plating in the floor plan (e.g. coverage of your children till age 26). There are of course replacement plans, but they're a lot more expensive because they by law must cover a lot more stuff.

As I understand it, If you are due a subsidy, as of now the only way you can get it is through the Federal exchange. State exchanges must use its subsidy calculator, ditto insurance companies (the latter is reported to have been a very low priority item in the system development).

As things look now (putting on my student of failed projects cap), a lot of people are going to be without insurance of any sort come Jan 1, especially because they can't afford whatever policies they're de jure or de facto allowed to buy. Which could easily kill as many people as lost in the Space Shuttle program ... except they didn't volunteer for something so obviously dangerous.

In my head, it's the other way. Why would I deal with pedestrians, a rougher surface, and surprised cars when I can ride a dedicated lane on the road? You just have to do it a bit to get over the initially scary feeling when cars approach from behind and you have to trust they won't hit you.

I think Wikipedia must evolve like old search engines evolved to using a pagerank.

Obviously I don't know how to solve this issue but at first editors must be evaluated by the audience and their scores accessible. All the other Wikipedia processes are bureaucratic .
First, let's get "correlation ≠ causation" out of the way.

Second, where does gender lie—is it a physical characteristic, a social characteristic, a cultural one? I'm physically male but don't really identify myself with any gender. It's not at all clear which direction the identity/behavior causality moves, and most likely it's both ways.

Third, I don't think much positive can come from drawing conclusions that restrict people's capabilities—in this case, ascribing broad behavior to what women and men want. It's an inaccurate viewpoint of the world and only helps you if the viewpoint happens to be a blind spot of yours, i.e. if you're a woman who does believe she won't have an issue finding a male in her thirties or a male who believes he won't be able to find a woman. In this case, of course it will make brilliant sense to you and help you, but not everyone has this problem. I certainly don't; I'm 22 and (hopefully) looking at marriage.

In other words, I don't think examining the cause will necessarily help us in any way but to change it, and binding poor or undesirable to an unalterable part of people will only retard change.

little that can be reasonably done eliminate the suburbs. Most people in this country simply prefer it

If people prefer it, why does the government have to mandate it by law?

Suburban zoning and -- even more importantly -- minimum parking requirements force property developers to build nothing but sprawl with isolated pods of single-use development. Wide, hostile roads are required (by law) to carry people between commercial, office, residential, and industrial sprawl zones.

If free markets were allowed to have any influence at all on land development, you would see at least some new urban style building. As it is, nothing but sprawl is permitted.
Whither iWork
>>Maybe it's because i don't understand dating as a competitive activity and my social interactions are very limited that i don't understand where are decisions to make (a.k.a, how people "play")

Yes, this seems to be the case.

And I don't say that to put you down - I actually used to be the same way. As a highly analytical person working in the engineering field, I used to approach dating as a rational activity. You know, you meet someone, and if the two of you are compatible then you start a relationship. Or at least that's how I thought things should work.

As I got older though, I realized things could not be further from the truth. Dating is an activity that is driven by two things: biological imperative of the two genders (that are different) and the emotions that are governed by those imperatives.

Once I understood that - i.e. once I accepted the politically incorrect fact that we are mammals first and foremost - everything started making a lot more sense.

Classical Forth systems worked that way. Being Forth, they of course went for minimalism here. Keys were unsigned ints (actually, ints interpreted as unsigned) and all values were 1024 bytes (see http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?ForthBlocks)

Programming that way was fun, but I wouldn't want to use it on a system with megabytes of RAM. Embedded, it would be fun to implement what you describe on top of that, though.
