So I've done consulting with a 20MM+ USD startup that has engaged MSFT over a long period for acquisition potential. It was the case that Balmer had to personally approve every M&A activity over 10MM USD. Hopefully Satya will put in place an A-team of shrewd investors to delegate much of this activity because it seems nonscalable for a CEO to get involved in nearly every transaction. Satya has a lot of work to do to keep what works, modernize and throw out the bad (repeatedly trying to apply the same UX from one platform everywhere).

PS: Azure is great technically and is lightyears ahead most other parts of MSFT but it has not found enough customers to warrant applause. AWS eats their lunch.

Another failing in consumer-grade routers.

It's depressing how bad many consumer-targeted products there are in the tech space. Printers (seriously, why do we still have printer drivers), routers, operating systems, even software. Even non-techie users take notice of this!

Is there space for a competitively priced consumer router of high quality?

"Is he or she purchasing the additional subscription for someone else?"

Exactly.

From the standpoint of a company A that uses Stripe billing, which would be preferable if you were selling per-seat services to Company B?

1) Make the person from Company B subscribe ten (or a hundred, or a thousand) separate times using different logins and passwords.

2) Let the person from Company B specify that they want to buy ten (or a hundred, or a thousand) seats, and manage them all from the same account.

5 Features the Next Generation iPad Air and mini Should Have
The way I prefer to think of it is: it is not your job to protect people (particularly senior management) from the consequences of their decisions.

That's a really, really good line, and also a good guiding principle.

None of this would've happened if people had just heroically fallen on their own sword and burnt out doing work nobody cared about.

Slight disagree here: it was entirely possible that many people could have sacrificed their health, happiness, and quite possibly lives to the altar of Google's code quality... and changed absolutely nothing about Google's trajectory because Google would neither have noticed their efforts nor, had it noticed them, cared. That's not one of my periodic elbow swipes at Big Daddy G, by the way, that's just Life At A Megacorp. It was substantially the same way at my old day job -- I managed to convince myself that with just a few more hours and a few more tech talks and a little more quiet politicking I was going to get us on the Modern Web Applications (TM) bandwagon, and yet, seen from the clarifying distance of a few years, I bet it is highly likely that you'd have to be really adept with the subversion command line to find traces of my lasting impact on that company as employee #4,256.

This is one reason I really prefer (personally) working for smaller companies. I like knowing that the stuff I work on matters. (And I totally get that there exist compensating differentials for working at Google, both for you personally and the other Googlers. You've previously mentioned "It feels great to have millions of people use something I made with my own hands", and I agree, that does sound awesome, and it's a flavor of awesome which will likely not be accessible to me for quite a while if ever due to the don't-work-for-e.g.-Google decision.)

So you would say $1,500 + 3,4 months building + 3,4 months training + modules + protection?

Assuming this guys are all dev. at $4000 month (easy premise!). I would say $1,500 + $12,000 + $12,000 + $1,500 (let's say it's modules are equal to the hull) + $10,000 (arbitrary for buying protection)

$37,000? That's crazy! :)

While the title sentence can be true under steady-state conditions, it's not true for virally growing startups. Growth depends on customers recommending the product to their friends. For example, if raising prices by 10% cuts your monthly viral spread coefficient by 10%, it will cut your market share by 90% after 22 months.

No, not the laws around drugs right now — the concept of laws around drugs. Because if it's just the current laws that are problematic, then it is indeed the laws that are the problem, not the agency.

This is not comparable to a hypothetical Rape Creation Agency, which is problematic in and of itself because we do not approve of rape under any circumstances and there are no laws that could be changed to make such an agency acceptable. The analogy is not valid for making that particular point.
Believe it or not, basically exactly that happened. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plebgate
I am no fan of MS given what I went through with them in the '90s, but I'll give Satya the benefit of the doubt. Here's what I'd say to him:

Recognise that operating systems are less relevant than they were and port everything to everywhere. This means dev tools, Office, etc. People will pay for Visual Studio on the Mac and on Linux if it's the same experience as it is on Windows.

De-complexify Windows and focus on its number one use case: Office. Windows is essentially a platform for running Office and playing games.

Well, and this is the very problem with these tactics and the very reason why they are so thoroughly evil.

I do not have the ability read a scientific paper and judge its merits. I'm a software engineer. I can usually get the gist of what the experiment did, what they found, etc, but not judge the merits.

The fact that this amount of scientific critique can be bought, for someone like me, calls into question any scientific discussion anywhere. Because I don't know who to trust to tell me whether a paper or experiment is good or not.

My natural inclination would be to be suspicious of Monsanto and side with the glysophate paper's author. After it was so thoroughly discredited, I believed the critiques of the paper. However, reading about the methods that were used against Tyrone Hayes, I'm now thoroughly questioning that paper's being discredited. Because the manner in which that paper is being attacked looks so similar to the manner in which Tyrone Hayes was being attacked.

Do you see what I'm getting at? It ruins the trustworthiness of scientific discourse for anyone not a scientist. And that's an enormous problem.
Singularity cannot exist until at least one machine is intelligent in some manner, something that is further away than most people think.

and they went in a bad direction imho:

- Apple closed down the app distribution process (we don't like what they are saying, let's censor Phone Story etc. etc. ..)

- The One of Google graps all information it can reach: the world (how boring it gets), me (nicely aggregated behind closed doors). Meanwhile spamming the world with ads.

Regarding the former, governments should enforce a non-exclusive app store policy. Regarding the second, it's more difficult, maybe the Chinese were right to 'shut them out'. Of course I like/kind of depend on some google services. Tricky.
No, that's possible. I'm not clear on CCP's policy on character transfers, so it may be illegal, but it's certainly possible. That said, a titan pilot is almost certainly worth more than $1,500. I have heard rumors that players are paid real money for their participation in alliances; it wouldn't surprise me to have confirmation.

"I now believe the only way to have a secure career is to make one for yourself. You could be let go at any time, for any reason."

This is absolutely nuts. Do American workers have zero rights to redundancy pay, notice, warnings etc? I realise this may seem ignorant, but it blows my mind that you can just be fired from one day to the next without compensation or any kind of due process. It reminds me of the working conditions for stevedores in the 19th century.
The really interesting thing, which I only learned a few years ago, is that there is actually a reason that we perceive colors in the "purple" range (including violet and magenta) as falling between red and blue on a "color wheel". Specifically, the "red" cones in our eyes have a minor secondary region of sensitivity that's way out in the blue-violet range. So violet light also partially stimulates our red receptors, making our brains interpret it as a mixture of red and blue.

Here's one source: http://midimagic.sgc-hosting.com/huvision.htm (I know I've seen other sources as well, but this phenomenon isn't discussed terribly often so I'm a little bit skeptical about it.)

> So you're saying it's not possible for someone in control of a Titan in Eve that is hard up for money enough to turn the keys over for $1,500 in real life money?

Possible, sure. But, CCP is very quick to drop the hammer on transactions like this that involve converting in game assets to real life money. This sort of transaction is explicitly banned.
I'd heard of this before, but never tried it myself. Out of curiosity, I just tried playing a game through OnLive, using my relatively high-end (for the US) business broadband connection.

I chose Witcher 2 since it was featured on the OnLive home page.

As the intro video streamed, I was impressed. It was smooth and the quality was good.

After the intro video, it all fell apart. The round trip latency on the menu screen was very jarring. Gameplay significantly magnified the latency issues. I felt like my character was drunk, trying to walk around even in the tutorial phase. I can't imagine how terrible that would be during demanding phases of the game. It really was terrible.

Maybe this would be useful for less demanding games, where latency isn't so crucial, but isn't that the whole point? A low powered device probably wouldn't need to outsource rendering in the first place if the game is slow enough that latency doesn't matter. Maybe I'm missing something.

Ironically, playing a few minutes on the OnLive trial made me interested in buying and downloading the real game via Steam, and made me never want to try anything on OnLive again.

Nice that canvas dashed lines are now working, but there are still a lot of html5 features that either aren't implemented or are buggy: audio recording with getUserMedia sometimes turns off after a few seconds, drag+drop images from another website isn't implemented (only file upload from your own computer supported), no screen sharing. I've had to put a "try chrome if you have problems" message at the top of our app, as chrome is currently the only browser that fully supports all of the html5 features that we use.

Actually, I feel very good about this line here:

"More than one thousand times as sensitive as the cones, they can reportedly be triggered by individual photons under optimal conditions."
http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/vision/rodcone.ht...

So while rods have a response curve which is similar to codes, that response curve is shifted to be a thousand times more sensitive than cones. So at any lighting level which activates the cones, your rods are just maxed out, screaming "YES, IT IS VERY BRIGHT", and you don't get any useful information out of them.

Hence, no integrated, tetra-chromatic vision.
My grandfather worked in law enforcement for most of his career, after his stint in the military (in the 40's and 50s). I think he would be really disappointed with the legal system as it is today.

There is another nice feature of ES6 that helps a lot with callbacks and promises: proxies. Check out this article I wrote on Flippin Awesome (http://flippinawesome.org/2013/11/18/taming-asynchronous-jav...). The following is some sample code to show how code can be simplified with ES6 proxies, making async functions chainable (example in coffeescript):

getUser = (user) ->
_("https://npmjs.org/~#{user}")
.get()
.extractLinks()
.filter( -> /package/.test(arguments[0]) )
.map( -> "https://npmjs.org#{arguments[0]}" )
.log()

getUser("foo")

where `get` is THE jQuery get for Ajax requests returning a promise and is chained with the rest of the functions in a pipeline fashion. I've found that these techniques can work very well for form validation, as [you can check here](http://www.vittoriozaccaria.net/chained/demo.html) — Firefox required.

Yes and no. Yes, he could say "I work for AmaGooFaceSoft on a new type of infrastructure product which most companies can't even conceive of but which makes a lot of sense when you have 10,000 engineers and several hundred thousand servers." Then the question is "Oooh ooh what kind of infrastructure product is that?" and the answer will be "Do you remember Map/Reduce or BigTable or Hiphop? It's spiritually similar to those but totally unlike any of them and if I tell you any more my boss will have my guts for garters. Really cool tech though. You'd love to hear about it... if you worked here. Of course, if I told you about it, you'd not understand half of the explanation, since it plugs into four other proprietary systems that you -- as a member of the general public -- will never know about."
But you can totally walk into EVE, drop down enough real money to buy gametime coupons that you can sell for enough ingame money to buy a character (on the offical forums) that can fly a titan and then buy an existing titan. You don't have to bootstrap your way to your spaceship with a pickaxe and a roll of duct tape.

So, you base your knowledge of Common Lisp on the fall of 1984, the same year the book Common Lisp the Language was published? Strange. What happened in the meantime? Did they just wake you up?

Liquid Common Lisp? The chapter on 'multitasking' is hard to find?

http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/lcl50/aug/aug-103.htm...

Threads are in Common Lisp usually called Processes. The Lisp Machine had them and basically the same API was used in Common Lisp implementations. Allegro CL, Lucid, LispWorks, ...

The entry points have been literally for decades functions like PROCESS-RUN-FUNCTION and MAKE-PROCESS.

> Did the Macintosh do threading as of 1987?

The Macintosh OS at that time did cooperative multitasking. It was supported by Macintosh Common Lisp. Macintosh Common Lisp supported what was possible and the old Mac OS was crippled.

Symbolics had little problem providing Common Lisp. The Symbolics Lisp Machine ran Common Lisp and ZetaLisp side by side in one Lisp. Of course you could call the scheduler functionality from within Common Lisp. Since Symbolics also developed a new scheduler, I guess the new one was written Common Lisp.

To corporations, if it's not about making money, then the motivation is unclear. Part of the reason why you hear the BS about climate scientists being money-driven (you know, all those fat 6- and 7-figure salaries, and the multi-billion dollar grants?) is because of this narrow perception. The structural underpinnings of businesses like this make it nearly impossible for any other motivation than "how much profit can we make" to be a factor in planning.
