Well its not like they had to look far for inspiration, some of the products of the 30s through 50s were amazing. When manufactures, designers and engineers, started down the path of mass production many of them did it with beautifully designed products, from lights, dishes, appliances, to cars.

Being a fan of the art deco periods and vintage glass its not like Apple invented getting it down to the details, however they may be worth crediting for reminding us of when design, appearance, and quality, could all go together. Got a toaster from the 50s that meets all of those and still works; 1B16

"UPDATE - Monday, March 17, 2014 - 12:15 PM EST
Some have raised the statement that TCAS doesn’t work if the transponder is disabled… this is only partially correct. Other planes TCAS would NOT see MH370 at all. MH370 would not actively query other planes as it’s transponder is off HOWEVER it could still listen to any transponder output from other planes that are actively transmitting. SQ68 would have been actively transmitting while in-range of Subang ATC center.

Even if TCAS on MH370 wasn’t working for some reason, an in-expensive portable ADS-B receiver paired with an iPad and Foreflight app would allow a pilot to receive the ADS-B output being transmitted by SQ68 at that time."

Where's the framework for that?
There's a lot of research on emotional/cognitive sex differences[1] - from risk aversion to math ability. Leftists/feminists are the science-denying young earth creationists of the social realm.

The only way to eliminate gender based inequality is to start injecting female fetuses with male hormones pre-birth. Personally, I never understood why feminists so desperately want girls to be boys.

If you want to kill yourself - you just fly the plane into the ground during landing or takeoff. It is way too elaborate to get to the no mans land and then fly 5 hours and crash somewhere.
I think the concept of being proud of where its made doesn't really matter for most people as much as the media might portray.

I've had tiny Japanese cars from the 80's and 90's (which were a mixed bag), an American made pickup truck from the late 90's (which was fantastic), an American made car from the early 2000's (which was a piece of shit), a handful of Japanese motorcycles from the mid-late 70's (fun for what they were), a some Italian made scooters (utter crap for their build quality), and now a BMW motorcycle (engine made in China) and I'm about to buy another BMW motorcycle that is 100% made in Germany.

There doesn't seem to be any consistency about where its made and the quality. I really just want the best made thing on the road that can handle anything regardless of who designed it. Americans aren't making exciting motorcycles for me these days (Harley... zzzz....), and nothing touches the R1200GSw, so a German vehicle it will be.
Take this with a grain of salt.

The referring Google+ post comes from a German site that seems to be the only reference to said 'locking' and the hypothetical postulated in the link above is purely conjecture.
i am not familiar with the phrase "totem." care to elaborate?
Possible Echo of Big Bang Detected
Meh. Against my better judgment, I downloaded it and poked around. Predictably, it does not play well others. Most notable, there is no export functionality. There is a 'Share as PDF' which is (a) not the same, and (b) broken for me because 'my email program is not set up properly' which is false. Hard to trust. (Evernote has a fine export capability, fwiw).

One Note will, however, appeal to people who prefer 'structuring' over 'tagging'. In fact, if you prefer tagging, look elsewhere. The tagging support here is abysmal. There are tags, but they are canned and the user can't add their own tags. So you have 'Definition' and 'Idea' (which thankfully is not "Idea!") and 'To do priority 2'. And only the ones that the people at MS thought you might think were important. Even more bizarre, they seem to be only visual labels. You don't appear to be able to search for items matching a given tag. Wtf. Am I using a computer or not?

I will say that they seem to have nailed all the account management, in particular two-factor auth, for the 'microsoft accounts'. But they did this largely by copying google's two-factor auth stuff. Which, to be honest, is what I would have done too since it's pretty good. Anyway, they don't appear to have screwed that up. That's a plus and not super-easy. Separate from One Note though.

The tagging fiasco and lack of export are both unconscionable though and embarrassing, imo. They are not an early entrant here; they need to do better than the competition, not notably worse. Plus this is an old product for them, just new to the mac. Bill, where are you? Surely this is easier than Malaria.

...and the idea is that your notes are then available and searchable through app on website, phone or tablet. So if like me you have lots of notebooks but they tend to occasionally be "tied away", collating all that in one place could really salve that pain point.
I pay for a private torrent tracker because it's impossible to get the content (tv/movies) I want. So even if I wanted to pay content creators, I can't. Having said that, I don't feel I'm pirating content simply because, as a consumer, I'm being ignored. So either way content creators wouldn't be getting my money.

It would help to review the German article which is what a Google Plus post is linking to which this Soyent article is referencing:

http://www.golem.de/news/intel-hooks-im-kernel-sollen-androi...

> Im Fall des x86-Android plant Intel unter anderem, Dateioperationen von Virenscannern per Hooks zu ermöglichen. Damit können dann zum Beispiel in Echtzeit nur neue Dateien gescannt werden, ohne dass die Anti-Malware und das Betriebssystem die bisher üblichen Wege über das Dateisystem gehen müssen.

Which loosely translates as:

> In Android x86's case, Intel plans as well as other things, file operations could be monitored via process hooks designed for anti-virus. It would be done with only new files in real-time without relying directly on the OS.

Nowhere does this indicate to me that it locks you into an OS and chances are that it can be disabled within the firmware.

"2) Why does the background & image move around with the mouse? It doesn't have anything to do with the app."

That's what got me. To me it implies that when someone is within proximity of the phone, it will vibrate/notify the user; other than that, I have no idea.
It is most certainly location dependent. I'm in a standard suburb in the mid-Atlantic region (it's pretty much all the same, just different cities). I would be destitute if we lived in San Francisco.

It's a very interesting, albeit depressing, time to be a dev around here. Jobs are plentiful - I get contacted by recruiters all the time. The difference is they are offering senior devs what they offered junior devs way back when. It doesn't seem to be language or such dependent, I'm seeing the same thing in all the big corporate level and startup level languages. I used to be able to move jobs and easily get more money, not since the downturn. I guess companies decided they don't need to pay us what they used to (which was still just national average) and are sticking with that.

We don't go on any big vacations, we don't go out to dinner, our cars are old, I have a pre-paid cell phone, and I'm typing this on my 8 year old home built computer. The point being, I know what I need my salary minimum to be, and I'm really below that minimum now all too often (ie, come saving for property taxes). If I was single, maybe I'd move somewhere, but it's not really an option now with the kids in a good school.

Thanks for sharing the results so far. The problem with accepting bitcoin on a site that doesn't have anything to do with bitcoin, is that you're limiting your audience.

I would venture that only 1 - 5% of your visitors even have bitcoin. So basically, you're trying to get donations from only 10 to 50 users for every 1,000 visitors you get. If we then assume that 1% of those visitors will donate $1, you are looking at only $1 to $5 for every 10,000 visitors.

This just doesn't make sense from a business perspective. I would include other ways to make donations.

> You wouldn't write an entire browser in Go.

Why not? AOS has one written in Active Oberon, which is quite similar to Go feature wise.

The main differences is that Active Oberon's SYSTEM package is more powerful than Go's unsafe and support for untraced pointers. The later can also be achieved in Go via a mix of syscalls and unsafe.

tl;dr "It's not the same as evernote". I think that's a good thing; if two products are identical, it's hard to choose between them.

Also, if you think Microsoft's account management stuff is well put together, you... clearly haven't tried to manage a bunch of windows 8, XBox, skype and live accounts for an entire family over the past couple of years. It's a mess, and the only answer MS ever has for issues with an account is "make a new one".
We have the same story again, and again, and again... No matter if it's called SOPA or if it's wrapped in some other cloth, the intention is the same: Big business wants to preserve its cash cows (interests) by fending off pesky competition.

We think that our representatives need more information, so we educate them. But, as much as I think that is true, at the end of the day they'll vote along their party line, no matter if we educate them or not.

We're fighting with words (educating), big business with money (buying lobbyists). And they are prepared to ruin their vocal opponents, even drive them towards suicide (Aaron Swartz).

Sorry for being pessimistic.
Nate Silver discusses the Fox/Hedgehog division in his excellent "The Signal and the Noise" frequently, and he largely takes on the meaning proposed by Phillip Tetlock in his book on expert political judgement.

The idea that Tetlock puts forward is that pundits divide into two categories, Foxes and Hedgehogs. Hedgehogs explain the world and make predictions according to one large all encompassing principle. Foxes don't, and apply different principles to different circumstances. Tetlock concludes, and Silver endorses this, that Foxes are better at understanding the world than Hedgehogs.

An example might be the (proposed) principle that free markets lead to increased prosperity. A hedgehogy capitalist might state the above as a broadly applicable principle. A foxy capitalist might opt for something like: "yes, many times increased freedom makes us prosper, but sometimes it doesn't, it depends, let's talk about the specifics".

I take this to be an argument about complexity. The fox side of the argument is roughly that the world is more complex than most people allow for, and one principle or world view will usually not cover an area of knowledge well.
If I understand the PEP right, this explanation is missing the part where it's only useful to extend abstract classes; python classes are open so you can just add a method to a concrete class to get single-dispatch if that's all you need. I don't think the example given needs generics at all.
I grew up in small town Scotland with an English accent and can report that in pockets of Scotland there is certainly blatant, out and out racism.

But in the cities and as an adult, I really don't see it as an issue anymore. I work for one of the companies sponsoring the event and I see probably about as many foreign employees (English and other European and world nationalities) as there are Scots.

I think most countries will always have some pockets of racism because some people will always be ignorant. So I'm not absolving my country entirely, nor saying the anti-English sentiment no longer exists, but I don't see it as the big problem it used to be.
> ample vacation (15-20 days)

15-20 days is hardly "ample" vacation time.
I don't think it was a state level actor. I think the most likely explanation in the event of a hijacking is rogue elements within the ISI (which is pretty common -- there are lots of factions within Pakistan, almost none of whose first loyalty is to the nation of Pakistan) providing cover and funding to a terrorist group. None of this would be unheard of; elements within the ISI protected bin Laden for years.

Stealing an empty plane from an airport would likely get you shot down before you made it 100 miles; air traffic is heavily controlled at passenger airports. If you want to break free of the air traffic system, you do it in the air over a sparsely populated and/or mountainous region. Older planes are expensive, especially large ones in working order with the range and cargo capabilities of a 777 (a working 777 would cost more than $200 million and be accompanied by a lot of paperwork.)

All of this is speculation anyway; we don't even know if it was hijacked or if it even landed if it was. It's just fun to play armchair intelligence analyst in the absence of good information.

Also worth noting that OneNote for Windows is also free from today (the desktop/Office 2013 version, not the existing Metro/Modern app).
Downloadable from here - http://www.onenote.com/Download

Great timing too as my Office 2013 1-month trial just ran out and OneNote was the only app I really needed! LibreOffice is good enough nowadays for the rest. Plus it runs great with a Wacom digitiser.
The lack of emacs keybinds is because they don't use standard Cocoa controls; unfortunately it's endemic to the entire Office suite on Mac.
Except that ratio can be falsified easier than cryptocurrency and you can't use ratio for anything else but "buy" movies.

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked,

dragging themselves through the Redbull fridge at midnight looking for an angry fix,

nodejs hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to DynamoDB in the machinery of the cloud,

who runway and hungry and hollow-eyed and high sat up staring at the supernatural luminescence of terminal illness floating across the tops of Macbooks contemplating scale,

who bared their brains to Apple under Jobs and saw cross-compiled apps staggering on tenant servers illuminated,

who passed through universities with radiant cool eyes hallucinating funding and Techcrunch tragedy among the scholars of more,

who fled from the academies to publish obscene odes to Mammon in the windows of the user's skull,

who cowered in unshaven rooms in underwear, burning their money in wastebaskets and listening to the Terror through the wall...

> This pattern, basically a curling in the polarization, or orientation, of the light, can be created only by gravitational waves produced by inflation.

I call BS. "Within our current theories, this pattern can be created only by..." would be a more accurate statement. The arrogance that "with this theory, we understand it all" has been shot down over and over in the history of science.

[Edit: tarrosion noted the caution of experimenters in making sure that the data could not be caused by something else. This is appropriate, and it's good that they have it. You now have one, and only one, theoretical explanation for the data. But the statement in the article that I quoted is still a step too far. It presumes that our existing theories are the only possible ones.]
I'm sure patches would be accepted as there's no reason the implementation of the function has to remain identical over releases.
Scottish Nationalism is usually described as "civic nationalism":

"Civic nationalism is a kind of nationalism identified by political philosophers who believe in a non-xenophobic form of nationalism compatible with values of freedom, tolerance, equality, and individual rights."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civic_nationalism

It is notable that UKIP, which really does have the xenophobic kind of nationalism, has almost no support in Scotland.
Nothing bugs me more than when a supposedly scientific magazine uses thumbnails of important images without actually linking to the full size. I just wanted to see the black lines in the image the article refers to.
