There's an interesting dynamic in the industry. Sprint is hemorrhaging money and losing customers, ironically often to T-Mobile: http://newsroom.sprint.com/news-releases/sprint-nextel-repor..., http://www.dailytech.com/TMobile+Announces+Impressive+Quarte....

T-Mobile on the other hand seems to be on the upswing, but I'm not sure how long it can really last. Their new $70 unlimited data plan sounds great, but I can't figure out how they can possibly generate enough revenues to match Verizon and AT&T's capital investments into their networks. T-Mobile seems to be doing a decent job pulling together an LTE network, but it remains to be seen whether it continues to be solid once it starts getting loaded up, and whether they manage to keep pace as AT&T and Verizon invest in successive generations of technology.

I'm not sure what the business case would be for a T-Mobile/Sprint combination. I can see how it would be good for Sprint, but what does it buy T-Mobile?
This seems very strange to me, leaves me wondering if we should abandon our plans to use their service.

Hi Wiktor,

I think the best thing you could possibly do right now is rephrasing this from the point of view of your target audience. Perhaps to repost and see if you get better response this time, but above all, this will be a useful exercise for you. It will be useful for two reasons; 1. it will force you to specify your target audience (ideally to a narrow niche of those you think will want to use this most actively) and 2. it will make you think about your service from their eyes - as a solution to a problem, not as a bunch of features. These two things should be part of the foundation of everything you do, particularly in such an early stage.

Reading about this service you want to provide, I see a few words about what it would be like, technically, but nothing about why I would want it. Try to make this your starting point instead. (I know you're targeting an audience of hackers with this post, but if you're asking if we want to pay for it, we'll want to know why we'd want to use it first.)

Does this help you?

While making decisions pertaining to education like the choice of an university or major, competitive exams like GRE, SAT, GMAT, abroad programs, scholarships and the like, an information gap is usually encountered. It is intriguing that we do not have a go-to solution to this problem yet. We stick to conventional techniques like tedious search engines, rankings, speculations surrounding an option, unreliable sources in forums etc to find a solution. It is natural that a problem is ignored till the solution is forced upon us. When we joined hands for music, socializing, videos, professions etc., why not for education?

I thought Simula was the originator of OO?
I think he's alluding to the stuff that comes after the language is released, not the language design/architecture itself. Node is not a language, so his comment probably implies that he's referring to the design choices of build system, development cycle (of tools, libraries and frameworks), and things like dependency management.

That's not my opinion, but just what I understood his comment to be about (personally I prefer the npm approach any day over Maven).
There's a total opportunity here for a third operating system to make a desktop play - but no one seems to be interested in doing one.

Ubuntu? Window of opportunity has passed & Canonical doesn't seem interested in desktop market.

Chrome OS? Awesome as a browser+netbook, but a bit limited for some people's tastes.

Really, if a company like Google had been able to produce a true and full operating system, with Ubuntu/Linux extensibility and the beauty of Mac OS/ChromeOS, they could have come up with a winner ... but it hasn't happened yet.
The Dart VM isn't turned off by default, it's not included at all.

There is a fork of Chromium that we maintain, informally called "Dartium" that includes the Dart VM, bindings, an progressing set of dev tools, and native Dart-JS interop. Dartium is included in the Dart SDK, but only for development purposes.

"Dart is either just another compiles-to-JS language"

You aren't really addressing any of advantages or disadvantages of Dart.

* Can you live in a mostly Dart world?

* Is it easier to write code in Dart vs. Javascript?

* Are there performance advantages to using Dart that "just compiles to JS"?

From what I've read, the answer to all three questions is yes. Javascript is simply a target language, just like asm.js.
We've worked hard to ensure continuity and Antoine is excited to move forward, so hope you give us a chance.
Bad example. I can predict the dice game's problem space. E.g. for a single normal die (1-6), I can predict that I'll never observe a 7 [P(7) = 0%]. I can also predict the probability distribution. E.g. for two dice thrown together, the probability of throwing a sum of 7 is 1/6, whereas the probability of throwing snake eyes is only 1/36. Yes, the game's output is random. But what you're talking about is control, not prediction. If random meant "impossible to make predictions about", then statistics wouldn't exist.

Regarding winning, there's no way to improve one's chances (besides cheating?). But merely knowing that the game is predicated solely on chance can be useful for other applications. E.g. realizing that the lottery is a scam.

Personally, I'm in that camp that says reasoning is a instrumental value towards prediction.
The YCVC safe is uncapped.
I consider myself a mere mortal too but I can understand most of the discussion.
You can absolutely use Dart instead of Javascript, but that's because Dart 1.0 has been released, and because Dart compiles to Javascript.

The standardization means that the spec will be ratified, a conformance test suite will be created for independent implementations, and a process for evolving the language will be developed. It means that we can can compatible implementations, and that other individuals and companies interested in participating in the evolution of Dart will have an opportunity to do so.
And that's exactly what we do. Not our idea - the IBM as400 line (still sold and widely successful after several total changes to the underlying ISA) does the same.

Not only does the bit encoding change with new Mill models, but each family member across the line has a unique bit encoding, yet any load module runs on any present or future member without rewrite or recompile.

Are you full time yourself? I'm by no means an expert but I was under the impression that at the seed stage, they expect at least one of you to be full time. You might need a very good answer though, to the question of "how do you expect me to believe in you if you don't". (That question probably goes unspoken often, so if you have a better answer to it than they will expect, you might want to answer it before they ask.)

I've upvoted you, I'm NOT speaking from first hand experience so I really hope someone with more experience can give better advice. Good luck!
Wearers of spectacles or contact lenses have a lens between their eyes and whatever they are focussing on nearly all the time during their waking day. It doesn't cause eyestrain and I've always been assured by optometrists and maybe once an ophthalmologist that wearing lenses for myopia doesn't worsen myopia: iirc it's focal distance that matters, and apparently the Rift keeps the focal distance at infinity. Of course Oculus is talking its book, but I'd be surprised if they have no-one who understands the ophthalmology of the lenses-and-screen configuration they're building into their product.
This is not really surprising, but it does raise one very important question for me.

Patrick: Sorry to hear you've been sick!

Everybody else: There's another reason to "not optimize yet" in many cases: If your traffic doesn't support A/B testing. Taking the example of 100 visitors/day of whom 2.5/day sign up for a free trial -- you're going to have anywhere from 0 to 5 signups/day on a regular basis. If could increase your yield from 2.5% to 3.5%, you should be thrilled -- but an A/B test would take over a month to distinguish that from a random fluctuation.
It's nice to have a reference like this, but as the comments on this thread display, everyone has their own preferred variant(s).

It's silly to think that there is a "one size fits all" email intro framework. Different contexts require different amounts of background information and introducer participation.

Really, the greater theme at play is the need for people to think more about how their actions (here, nearly effortless electronic ones) effect others. Sending email intros without understanding the benefits and detriments to both sides is impolite at best and downright rude at worst.

The Golden Rule applies, even to email.

Rather than a light, every camera should have a lens cover. Some opaque object easy to slide in and out of place. A tiny piece of circular plastic would do. Along with the light which, as you mentioned, should be required to be hard-wired with the camera connection so that the camera cannot work without the light, perhaps the little sliding piece of plastic could work as an on/off switch.

Imagine if every laptop & phone (and now, television) had one of these?

Heck, right now I have countless electronic eyes staring at me ... television, laptop, phones that happen to be in the room. Can I be sure that nobody's watching me remotely? Hell no.

Just curious are you watermarking to specifically deter unauthorized use of the image?

I ask because I could see how you could use steganography to hide copyright information or simply add the watermark in such a manner that you would only be able to detect/reveal it by a specific method of color alterations. That way you would still have a case if you needed to take legal action.

edit: I just realized that will probably never be answered so does anyone else feel like giving some perspective?

Scheduling is the bin-packing problem, which is indeed NP. However, long (40+ years) known heuristics get within low single digits % of perfect, and generally better than OOO hardware scheduling because static is not constrained by instruction window size. We didn't invent those heuristics, but they work for us too.
That reminds me of a little quote by Aaron Hillegass in his book "Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X" (p. 73):

> "Once upon a time, there was a company Taligent. Taligent was created by IBM and Apple to develop a set of tools and libraries like Cocoa. About the time Taligent reached about the peak of it's mindshare, I met one of its engineers at a trade show. I asked him to create a simple application for me: A window would appear with a button, and when the button was clicked, the words 'Hello World!' would appear in a text field. The engineer created a project and started subclassing madly: subclassing the window and the button and the event handler. The he started generating code: dozens of lines to get the button and text field on to the window. After 45 minutes, I had to leave. The app still did not work. That day, I knew that the company was doomed. A couple of years later, Taligent quietly closed its doors forever. "

I can connect well with you on that, being a generalist (+ specialist) myself. I have breadth, and depth in many areas (so would be more like a sparse comb than a T-shape that snowwrestler described). People who have worked with me, coming from different fields of expertise, have seen me as an expert in their respective field often without realizing that I am doing the same in many fields.

Yet, I suffer somewhat because those who do not know me are unable to see the specific area of expertise in my CV, which is filled with a much wider set than what they need or even follow.

I end up becoming the go-to person for those who know me and need help with multidisciplinary research projects or system architecture, solving problems that not well-defined, etc. Such jobs are not common though, and are also hard to get to unless people know you ahead of time.

So my advice to you would also be along the lines of what mchannon and others have written. Develop and area of expertise that you think is and will be in demand over the next several years. Then keep evolving.

"idiotic OEMs like ... Samsung would rather follow the fruity status quo"

Samsung has been immensely profitable with their strategy of 'following the fruity status quo' and have a huge design department and produce dozens of phones and if they thought there was a huge market for a flagship keyboard phone they'd presumably be all over it.

It will basically do the same thing as Mainframe2 except it'll be open source and you'll be able to run it (the server) wherever you like. I've been working on the X11 support quite a lot over the past few weeks... Hopefully the public beta will be ready soon.

It's been interesting reading statements like this over the past year.

Everyone I know in Ohio is in the process of switching away from them or is avoiding them like the plague. (I wouldn't dream of going back to them as a customer)

The seller can easily find out. Record the address of the wallet you put on the USB drive. Wait a week. Check out the block chain to see where the coins went from there.

That makes no sense at all. Generation X/Y/Z, sure (except does it roll over after Z and would that be AA or just A?). But millennial? The name implies turn-of-the-millennium, not before as that would be a premillennial. Back in the day, there were reports of people trying to plan a "millennium baby" to be born in the first week of the year 2000 so it would make sense to call them millennials as they're not exactly babies any more.

You may not want to miss the larger point to take away from this.. ">> Even if mattress retailers are making a fortune on margins, well you guys also have margins too. And a retail price of $299..to..$499-king tells me that your mattresses are very low end."..

"You get what you pay for" is an adage you will have to take into account when considering perceptions of your product by potential customers.

Whether correct or not, most people correlate price with quality such that a lower cost (to them) product is assumed to be of lower quality. Even those with an actual understanding of supply chains and intermediaries and their effect on pricing will do this, despite that knowledge.
