> I think the only thing undemonstrated for me is how much difference their program makes.

It can be difficult for people who have not experienced it to understand the sort of progress you can make in such a short period of time. I obviously can't speak as to the other hiring bootcamps, but the guided pair programming approach taken by App Academy is very effective for rapid hands-on learning. I had taken a CS class or two prior to App Academy, and the difference is night and day.

Also, there is more to the program than just technical learning. There is a 3 week hiring bootcamp, where everyone works together on the job search process, under the guidance of an App Academy hiring instructor. For people new to the tech industry, this is very effective at bringing them up to speed on how hiring works in tech.

At this point, there are many companies that employ App Academy alumni (including thoughtbot, Facebook, Vimeo, Hipmunk, Twilio, and Zendesk), and many have realized the quality of its graduates, and so whenever a new cohort is getting close to graduation, managers from those companies come to a "demo day," where students can show their capstone projects and get interviews.

The idea behind the penalty is not to force people who cannot afford health insurance to buy it; your case is an unfortunate side effect. The point is to incentive people who can afford insurance, but rationally say that it costs them more then their expected benefit, to buy it.
> Perhaps, but that is more easily said than done. For both me (to move) or for the State (to pay for the expansion of Medicaid)- remember, the State can't just print money like the Federal Government can!

Just to let you know, this is not about the state not having the money. This is about them not accepting the money from the federal government solely out of political spite. And you and your family are on the receiving end of that.

The timing of this (vs. the Google/Samsung arrangement) really makes it look like Google's involvement with Motorola was simply to intimidate Samsung. The message was we'll piss away our advertising revenue to destroy you if you don't do what we want. Short term success maybe but in the long term it puts Google firmly on the Microsoft track. You can only gain so much via intimidation.

> Maybe we need to start thinking of labor as a (actually, the main) party responsible for creating the value the firm produces for society.

Right. That's pretty much straight Marxist ideology. (I say this as a matter of fact, not as a matter of denigration per se.)

Idea for you.

It's a free country, relatively speaking. So if labor is truly primarily responsible for the value in something, perhaps you and a bunch of laborers should get together and start a business providing value to people, and paying lots of money to the labor. Assuming the labor is the primary thing that generates value, it should be easy - in fact, they can attract the best labor by paying more than they'd get in a regime which does not value their output.

If, however, you find that it is really hard to get started because it takes a lot of money to buy equipment (or to pay salaries of people programming vast troves of computer-code, which is more or less custom-manufactured capital)... if you find that it's hard to get started with labor alone, then you've effectively demonstrated that capital provides a significant part of the value.

Silicon Valley may provide a few interesting case studies for you if you wish not to do the exercise yourself at this time.

The thing that really makes me curious though, how many people are running VPS's on so many clients that they need a tool to tell if it's virtualized? I can understand wanting to know, I guess, but why not just have a list like "if /proc/whatever exists, you are in kvm" instead of compiling and running this? Who would do it? Why is this on the frontpage?
Rackspace - a couple of VPS's, different sizes, about $100.00 / month

Github - $50.00 / month

Hoovers.com - $99.00 / month

Random AWS EC2 time here and there for demos or experimenting - varies, usually about $0.00 / month, but has been $40-50 a couple of times.

Co-working at Underground @ Main (Durham) - $199.00 / month

Mixergy subscription - I forget.. $20-25 / month or thereabouts, I think.

Motorola was bleeding money when Google purchased them. Google can deduct the operating losses from their profits to reduce their tax burden.

In addition, Motorola likely has many depreciating capital assets, and when the loss was booked by the sale, they can also write those off from their profits. A deal like this will have tons of tax lawyers going through them to maximize their benefits.

What Big Banks Have to Say About Open Compute
You made ad/malware available for phones as a slimy monetization gimmmick for 1000's of apps. Wish you would have learned another lesson.
Yes, it is.

But that is not the point. The point is, that the manual labor gets less and less earnings, but the possession of the properties. How many creative products with high value are in the hands of their creators?

In reality, the high earnings are not made by the inventors or creators of things, but by those that have acquired them in any way. In corporations, it is normal, that inventors just get some small fixed amounts for their inventions. Even in the music business, the musicians have the smallest part of the earnings. Often time, the musicians have to sell the rights to the companies, so the companies are earning most of the money. Only very few musicians can make extra-deals and get rich.

To answer your second question: No, it is absolutely not the intent! By making "intellectual property" the same level as other property, the intent is not, that the inventors should have them (as normal copyright once was intended), but the intention is, that it is a trade-able good, that can be accumulated by the wealthy and used against those that are creative (something, that money is not, so creativity must kept cheap).
Yeah, I trashed pretty quickly because I realized I didn't have time to work on it, nor did I have the creativity to write good examples. It would have better suited to be about JavaScript rather than Node, and there are already plenty of better ways to learn good JavaScript on the internet. I might do 'Haskell by Example' which would be really fun, if I ever have time for it.
I meant there is still lots of technology to be developed that can make many goods much cheaper than they are today, and as they become cheaper due to technology, then more people will be able to afford those goods.

I wasn't really thinking too deeply on how the cost of labor affects the price of goods, but I tend to have the general attitude that if everyone in a firm (including management and the owners will accept 0 profits) wants to work for free to make their goods the cheapest on the market, then they are free to do so (and there is a reason you don't see this in our society...it doesn't last long). However, I think it's a crime, and a serious problem when shareholders and top management reap billions in profits off the backs of thousands of wage workers who earn $7.25/hr and then rely on government welfare programs to support themselves...that's basically the government subsidizing cheap labor for big corporations.
I don't disagree with what you say but you wrote:

"Similarly, privacy is going away,..."

Privacy is definitely going away in the public space. But I'm not so sure privacy in, well, the private space is going away.

We may even see a movement --heck, it may even get a name one of these days-- for apartments and houses built in a way that some rooms get a "100% no intrusive technology inside" treatment.

For example you may have an intelligent fridge (so that it can send spam as already happened and why not be part of a botnet mining bitcoins), intelligent TV which can report your mood to advertizers, etc. but have, say, a bathroom with no intelligent lightswitches (because even lightswitches will surely have NSA-friendly webcams and microphones), with no WiFi and just a "detector" at the door ringing a bell in case you try to enter with a smartphone / smartglasses / whatever.

Same for the bathroom and the toilets.

I don't know about you, but as long as the state isn't forcing me to have a webcam and a microphone in my bedroom and in my bathroom, I'll still have privacy there.

I see more and more people now putting a little piece of post-it on the webcam of their laptop (e.g. MacBook, on which there's no physical slider to obscure the cam).

In other words: as long as I'm still a free man, I get to decide where, on my private property, I do still have privacy.

And I invite you in ten years in my property and you'll tell me if the NSA can switch on a webcam and a microphone in my bedroom or not ; )
Instead of asking a rhetorical question with an implied conclusion, it might be worth addressing the actual argument.

You're implying that there is a certain threshold past which society will not tolerate its actions being potentially recorded.

That may be the case, but I haven't heard it argued convincingly.

If we are to take any lessons from history, it is that accepted social norms are subject to radical change. What was once utterly unthinkable has in many cases become hum-drum or even the social norm.

Why should this (glass) be the hard line in the sand that human civilization draws?
> the primary negative reaction is the voyeuristic-rejection of having a camera always pointed at you

What about people with cameras on their smartphones? Every time you see someone on the phone or playing with their phone and their camera is pointing at you, there is a chance they're filming/taking pictures of you.

We got used to it. Things change so fast. It's not because right now we're thinking about privacy that we'll still think about it tomorrow.

"Even with the modest ACA reforms implemented to date, the growth of healthcare costs has already slowed down."

It's sort of hard to parse what you are saying, but the growth in spending (not costs) went down before the enacting of PPACA. This is likely due to the recession, and something of a counterpoint to those that claim healthcare is subject to inelastic demand.

Having the highest medical loss ratio is not equivalent to being the most efficient, as many services do not warrant claims. Capitation is inferior to market pricing in many ways and not "required" to reduce costs. Another solution is to force providers to charge a single posted price to all consumers, instead of practicing price discrimination. This achieves the purported benefit of single payer, while still allowing for people to choose how much they want to spend on medical services.

Tuition costs rose as subsidies increased. Without subsidies, they couldn't have risen. This created a bubble, which often happens when the government provides price insensitive support to markets.

I am not saying that these are the only answers, but you seem awfully sure of some counterfactuals...

> I disagree that people will become comfortable with Google Glass - the primary negative reaction is the voyeuristic-rejection of having a camera always pointed at you (that may or may not be recording).

When personal cameras first came on the scene -- the newspapers tried to inflame hysteria -- ANYONE COULD TAKE PICTURES OF ANYONE! There were pushes for regulation, banning, and people where ATTACKED for using cameras in public. Google for "Kodak Fiends" and "The Camerist and the Squaw" -- these were the old version of "Glassholes".

Society creates social norms to deal with this stuff. See again camera phones... a lesser for of "Kodak Fiends" trended in the press, then we adapted, and now no one even worries about it. It will happens for Google Glass over time, history tells the tale.
Wow, this is pretty cool -- one of the most direct approaches to open-data that I've seen so far (and the research world is of course in dire need of this kind of open data/connect-the-dots enabling effort)!

I think it would be pretty cool to have trending datasets on the front page (I'm sure you could do a small cron that would find the most-downloaded per-week/per-day/etc)

Also, while not a dire necessity, I think a cooler name would help this project fly farther -- You should be able to make a play on "data torrents", maybe something like datastorm/samplerain/datawave/dataswell/Acadata?

Any way, trivial stuff aside, nice implementation -- bookmarked for when I get the urge to do a data-analysis project!
Courts do not stop thieves. That is done by police. You have not supported your assertion that owners can defend their own property in some way that is different from how intellectual property is defended.

NEM – New Economy Movement
The BBC coverage quotes a Lindsay LeBlanc, of the University of Alberta, "a physicist not involved in the study":

"Although these results offer only an analogy to a magnetic monopole, their compatibility with theory reinforces the expectation that this particle will be detected experimentally."

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-25946734

The overall phrasing seems to say that it's still just an analogue of a monopole, but that it's a far more useful analogue in a system that you could do meaningful experiments upon.
One point to mention -- the results appear to apply to a quasiparticle rather than a naked monopole.

Just so you know, the Federal Government never made any offer to pay for the cost- sure, they were going to float the bill a few years, but after that?.... Yeah, the State would have to pick up the tab.

While I generally hate the idea of Google Glass, a recent story by Ted Chiang gave me a lot think about regarding omnipresent recording:

http://subterraneanpress.com/magazine/fall_2013/the_truth_of...
Thanks! But this is not my project. It is something created by a grad student I met just a couple hours ago at a hack night discussion.
Roughly it would be some sort of structured text, markup that represents the structure of the code rather than having a flat text file which then requires parsing to reconstruct structure. There are a couple of motivations here: structured representation allows editors to much more freely handle custom visual representations. Debates about tabs, spaces, braces, semicolons, parenthesis, etc etc are painfully outdated. These simply become properties of your chosen visual representation. It also allows more meaningful transforms without requiring a compilation pass, as a meaningful intermediate language is already present. This would have a few benefits: semantic text highlighting, straightforward semantic changeset merging, enhanced error highlighting and more semantic error detection (if I insert a line of code somewhere, the error is readily marked as the inserted line as the surrounding code is still semantically valid), sharing the semantic representation between IDE plugins. I'm sure this is just scratching the surface.

I'm reminded of the project I recall reading about from steve yeggie regarding a language agnostic IDE framework (whatever happened to that anyways?). A language agnostic, semantically rich file format would allow entire classes of transforms to apply across all languages that could be marked up by the language agnostic file format.

There are so many possibilities here, and yet a non-trivial amount of programmers are still anchored by the supposed benefits of editing code from the console! Programmers should be the first to be looking forward rather than being tied down to the past.
And, how else would you recommend this gentleman get traffic to comment on his work?
The Truth of Fact, the Truth of Feeling by Ted Chiang (story)
This isn't a newly discovered fundamental particle. This is a new form of behavior observed in ensembles of particles, in this case superfluid helium. This is an exciting new result in condensed matter physics, not particle physics. It's kind of surprising how much the mechanisms of particle physics (gauge fields and all that) carry over to describing the collective behavior of particles that's studied in condensed matter physics.

As to the sibling's comment from Lindsay LeBlanc, I don't believe that at all. While true magnetic monopoles are allowed by our theories, we just haven't seen any real evidence that they exist, and that's a bit strange. Personally, I don't believe they'll ever be observed.

(I used to be a particle physicist, for what that's worth. Take my opinions at face value!)

People are funny. Probably most do not want to be recorded without their permission, but many of them will think of situations when they want to be the one silently recording. And some of those situations would actually be valid, recording cops for example.

So, unless there is a law, I can't see forced LED for recordings. If Google tries, then one of the most popular apps for Glass will be a hack which deactivates the light.
That's not how it works. It doesn't allow you to patent prior things because you're first, it is just to kill of disputes when people patent something "simultaneously".
