Connecting survivorship bias to UX is a nice idea, but the post doesn't provide any examples of what you'd look at differently with this idea in hand, and I can't come up with any off the top of my head.
I'd just be happy to see a 2560x1600 monitor at 120hz or greater. I think we're going to have to max out resolution (to 'retina' or whatever levels where most people can't distinguish additional pixels) before we start seeing monitors commonly supporting greater than 60hz.
I'm confused. Under $1000 for the 28"? It goes on to say that the 24" is available for $1399...

The idea that everyone is born with the same fitness level is rather crazy to me. For one thing there's things like fetal alcohol syndrome, malnourished mothers, radiation damage before birth. But much more than that there are recognized genetic disorders, which at the extremes nobody would say confer the same fitness - down's syndrome etc.

Is there any reason to believe that genetic issues obey a distribution where they are either very extreme, or have no effect at all? i.e. if everyone not classifiable as having a really extreme disease is equal? I don't think so.

I think it's much more likely that there is a normal distribution of breakdowns in fitness - a few very severe problems which manage to survive to birth, then many, many more variants with negative fitness, or ones which are good but very picky, and which may be left over from environments where they were +fitness. Then there are probably variants which are all-around good.

So the idea that we're all born with the same fitness level is a pretty extreme example of invalid "blank slate" type thinking.

I expect there will be scaled modes like there are with the Retina MacBook Pro's. So you'll be able to use a desktop that's effectively 2560x1440 pixels like the 27" Cinema display.

It's going to be pretty heavy on GPU's mind. The rMBP's do it by rendering a 2x density frame and scaling it down for the display. This means the GPU will have to render a 5120x2880 pixel frame and scale it down to 3840 x 2160.

Technically, it's not. Since he would most likely, as most corporate legal does, bill in 6 minute increments, it's $160.

That being said, 15 years ago I worked in high end corporate law, and our partners charged $750/hr+. I'm hardly surprised that $1,100/hr is being charged now, especially when it includes overheads.

I own the 50" Seiki and I use it as a desktop monitor. I need to modify my desk so I can move it further back but I'm getting used to the size.

The lag due to 30hZ is a big drawback, my mousing accuracy is noticeably lower, but I can live with that.

What I cannot live with is the fact that the monitor goes blank and then re-detects the HDMI signal all the time -- perhaps 25 times in the first few minutes and then once every 5-15 minutes afterwards. I'm using the HDMI port on my Intel Haswell board and have updated drivers and the Seiki firmware, and still get this issue. Seiki support is bad, and lots of people have this issue. They specifically released a firmware update that is supposed to resolve this but it doesn't help me. Perhaps another brand of graphics card would help but currently it's broken.

I noticed that you didn't bring up weather or birds, neither of which will communicate with the drone. I cannot wait for ravens to figure out some drones have food in them.

"3 dimensions and no human obstacles"

There are an amazing number of obstacles in both an urban and rural environment for a drone to navigate. Cables going from building to building are one such example. Never mind that the architects understand delivery by people/ground vehicle where drones are going to have to figure out how to fit in. Roads are used for travel and have mechanisms / procedures to clear them for use, the air routes are for drones are going to be something different.

They don't. You could serve your site off of www.domain.com and your CDN off of cdn.domain.com easily.
I haven't seen anyone mention another key PR benefit of announcing this early: to take the wind out of Google announcing delivery via self-driving car.

Google is probably more threatening to Amazon than any other company, and they have a clear interest in attacking physical good delivery in a manner that is deflationary relative to Amazon - almost certainly by using self-driving vehicles to provide local delivery to existing retailers, gaining access to the inventory databases in the process.

Google likes to do PR stunts to project an image of futuristic technological leadership. It looks like they have a competitor.

This is glossed over, yet I have no idea how I would even start contacting factories.
I suspect people who dislike the idea of multithreaded programming are over-represented in the Node community. I'd even speculate that Node owes some of its popularity to being a release valve for a general thread-grumpiness that has been simmering in developer circles for years, fueled by the common belief that multithreaded programming is error-prone and difficult to reason about. So there's probably a bit of an ideological hurdle to overcome, but I also think that it's not an insurmountable problem, as the community matures and if a really useful solution presents itself.

You seem to have formed the conclusion that all schooling is worthless parrot-fashion recitation and cramming knowledge into the students' heads without any understanding.

My assumption is that this is your experience of your own schooling, and possibly that of your experience of your childrens' schools.

It's not how my education went, and I was taught subjects, but I was taught to understand them and to approach them all in rather different ways. The subjects are very relevant. Languages bed down better in younger minds. Scientific understanding is different from mathematical understanding and different again from historical understanding.

So I repeat, I'm sorry if you felt your schooling was terrible, if you felt you were being asked to cram worthless knowledge into your head, that's not how it went for all of us.

All of us will at some point in time come across an investment opportunity where we can be fairly certain of price movement. The problem is, most people have trouble playing even when they are not certain, or even telling if they are certain. Nor can they discipline themselves to get out of a bad situation. The people who trade successfully all have very high understanding of when to play, and high emotional control.

> living longer for the sake of living longer is something I pity rather than envy.

So do I, but that's not why I'd like to live longer. It's because life is glorious and more of it (currently) would be more glorious. If that ever ends, I'll agree with you. But I don't think there's a flat number for everyone. What if the number for me turns out to be 5000 years? I'd like a shot at it.
It should be offset to an extent by the larger cell (or pixel) size. The only reason it's "not", is that manufacturers have invested huge sums of money on production lines incapable of producing larger products while at the same time complaining that their ancient subpar desktop offerings don't sell well.

>Enough gushing, now some bug reports:

I like the way you wrote your comment! It could stand as an example to everyone. Yours might have had enough gushing, but I think every "negative" comment should start with as high praise as it can muster.

If the whole thing isn't as good, then it should first be "damned with faint praise" and then specific constructive criticisms shown. Obviously the praise doesn't have to be as strong as your comment.

I just want to point out how awesome a comment like yours is - it is incredibly hard to put together and share something. We could all do well to remember that when we point out how to improve it.

WTF is this? I'd love to see these things flying in SF bay (windspeed:25 knts) or SoCal during the Santa Anas (30kts sustained). That doesn't mean its likely to happen with a quick and dirty solution, at least on the tech side. But who knows, maybe on the people-org side you can have a real-time delivery window that just side-steps the problem. But the appeal to "authority" here is just BS and gets in the way of a real discussion. Synchophants vs Naysayers is not a debate.

Like jfb says, different strokes. I use multiple 30" monitors on my two workstations and I would prefer a single 50" display. My wife's Seiki has more raw pixels than two of my 30" monitors. I admit that an ideal 50" display would be OLED and concave, but I'll keep those off my wish-list for the time being. I don't want the manufacturers to think I'm being unreasonable. High-DPI and large form-factor seem reasonable for 2014.

I don't like the bezels between monitors in a multi-monitor configuration. I don't like the low-DPI of my 30" monitors. And I certainly don't like the price of the Dell U3011.

When you say you know people who can't handle a 30" monitor, do you mean that? They would refuse to use a 30" even if they were given one? I've only met a few people who are of that particular disposition, and I personally consider them odd. It's a weird self-flagellation or quasi-Luddism.

In my experience, most people don't deal with 30" monitors because they have been effectively fixed at over $1,100 for the past 8 years, only recently being disrupted by the Koreans and Chinese. From that perspective, where a small 1080 monitor can be had for a couple hundred bucks, it required a special type of enthusiast to pay the steep premium for 30" displays. But it looks that we're finally getting some changes in desktop displays, and I consider this positive progress toward what I would consider an ideal. To reiterate what I've said elsewhere, I want desktop computing to use nearly-immersive display technology, and I think this is more realistic in the mid-term than VR goggles.

But to be absolutely clear, I consider 30" too small for desktop computing today.
The problem with gas and this style of aircraft is that they would need to be hybrids, or else you would have a lot of weight dedicated to very complex transmissions.

I think an all-electric fixed wing/helicopter hybridization would make more sense. VTOL is probably only strictly required at the consumer end, on the Amazon side they could do CTOL and cruise on the same wings.
Laziness! Imagine ordering toilet paper without leaving the toilet! Hopefully Amazon will take the logical next step and have the drone drop my product with a smaller, indoor robot which can open my door via Lockitron and bring it directly TO me. Then branch out to fast food.

In seriousness, it has some utility. While I can buy toilet paper, paper towels, etc very close, it could be (for me where I live at least) considerably more difficult to find a hot new electronic item, a specific movie on Blu Ray, an unusual tool, paint in a certain shade, etc.
I believe it supports it for arbitrary monitors. I was able to do it on my rMBP, at least. You may have to use a third party utility like SwitchResX.

There are many stories on that.. honestly I think a lot of stuff about Stalin disbelief are pure propaganda aimed at providing an explanation at how bad Soviet army did initially.

In reality I think it was a combination of Soviet Army just being really bad initially compared to Germans(remember Germans destroyed French and British without breaking a sweat just a year before) and legitimate conflicting assessments of German army no preparing for war in Russia. This lack of preparation is what cost them in December 1941, if your tank oil freezes.. well you are not going anywhere
As I said on the previous thread, I'd really like to see actual evidence that the thing existed, worked, and was used. Every serious discussion I can find goes back to the mention in Feynman's autobiography, in which he presented the thing as a friend-of-a-friend tale, and it's a bit improbable to accept on that alone--it doesn't look impossible, but it seems like it would be very difficult to keep the gear turning smoothly without binding.

Without convincing evidence, it's hard to see the shaft passer as anything more than an engineer's prank. I'd love to be proven wrong, though.

I don't think anyone's suggesting you should be forced to live forever (physical invincibility) - just that dying is no longer forced upon you.

Presumably in 80 years the Buddha's mind stopped being a fire being kindled? Do you think he would mind living longer? I don't. I think rather that he would use that extra time wisely.

In fact, that's the general conclusion I come to about people: given long enough, people would probably become wiser, not more evil. Some would get there earlier, but I think everyone would get there in the end.
