I love this post because as an entrepreneur in the IoT space, I agree with most of what is being said. I've tried to come up with value-adding use cases for quantified-self devices as well as smart watches and most of what I've come up with has been very weak. It could be that I just haven't thought about it enough, but for most of these wrist bands, they don't seem really helpful in providing you better data than a phone. That coupled with the amount data massaging you need to do makes for a very poor experience.

Hi guys, a good friend of mine sent me the link to this conversation which is very good and maybe I can add some clarity. Patented 3Drsr is closing the gap between 3D Printing & mass manufacturing for hollow structural parts. 3D Rapid Structural Replication allows us to produce parts not possible with injection molding. In the case of the Rodin Wheels, injection molding cannot produce a seamless hollow wheel with hook bead rim, internal ribbing and variable wall thickness where needed to counter stress. 3D Printing can reproduce the wheel in the same complex form but they are not nearly structural enough, took 32 hours each to build on the FDM printer and ended up costing about $3,000 ea. In contrast 3Drsr will produce, under high temp and pressure the otherwise impossible complex fully structural wheel in under 5 mins for less than $200 each during the Kickstarter campaign.
Also it really isn't BS that as the composite material cools it forms and aligns in interlocking chains that make the final cooled part want to hold the solidified state.
As for the tooling time, we are not planning on employing rapid tooling techniques which we would normally do for more reasonable sized parts. Thanks for being interested and talking about 3Drsr Technology and Rodin Wheels.
I really liked the moving columns, they added another layer of unexpected difficulty. I lost at 23 (8388608). The fact that the moving column would bring the flappy tile beyond the bounds of the playfield was a little disconcerting.

One thing I've been wondering is whether all these 2048 clones are subconsciously causing people to take notice of powers of 2 far more than they would otherwise...
Yea, and I don't think it is Larry that is the problem. The problem is Vic Gundotra etc.

Honestly, hell no, we need to raise hell now. If they're even thinking about this as a realistic possibility, the entire notion needs to be burned from their minds. Purged.

Edit: Normally, I'm an arbiter of the 'wait and see' variety, but this is such a horrible, unethical, undemocratic, un-American idea that it cannot possibly for a moment be considered.

Fair enough, but what about periods where there is little or no competition between connections of different priorities? Could low-priority transmissions be throttled well before they begin to experience packet loss?

The basic belief is "someone complaining of abuse" is always taken seriously.

Further, this is concerning a person with a power disadvantage in their environment who is going to be subject to the array of classic silencing techniques that criticize not her argument but her person.

Interestingly enough you're using one as well classifying the response as "radical feminism". This discredits their position because they were "too aggressive". It is another argument that adds nothing because it attacks their tone and not ideas.
I'm the lead developer at a video startup. This policy may make our concept economically infeasible. I'm so angry that I can't even think straight right now. I thought we won this battle. I thought it was over. I want to take to the streets. We need to do something. We can't let this happen.
Brilliant story.

That being said, Page should learn to be a better writer. Take this, for example:

As for my right ear, I was born deaf in it lol. This was not a fun experience to say the least.

Being born deaf in one ear is rarely a cause for "laughing out loud," and the "lol" adds nothing to the first sentence. "To say the least" is a cliché and should be eliminated.

Anyone could be guilty of these writing sins and in a large enough sample of my own writing I'm sure someone could find clichés. Nonetheless they're pervasive enough to detract from the piece. It wouldn't be a bad idea to get Write Right! (my favorite short, pithy writing book) and William Zissner's On Writing Well.

How about double taxing American salaries overseas? E.g. if I visit the states on business, I have to pay US taxes AND Chinese taxes for any time I spend there (neither recognizes the other's jurisdiction in that case). That is about a 60% tax rate, and you can't even deduct the taxes you paid to either country from the other.

I’m a member at a worker-owned mobile dev coop in Ottawa. (htttp://www.brierwoodapps.com)

I spent some time in grad school studying economics, and I've felt a bit like a mole on a couple of occasions, but I do think it’s a really interesting structure.

There’s definitely been some self-selection of members based on equality- and social-mindedness. Some of that expresses itself internally: There’s a lot of information sharing and support for professional development.

I think one of the great practical advantages is that it’s a structure without employee numbers. Every new employee is hired with the hope that they’ll stay on and become a full member-owner. The fact that every member is on the same footing as the founders can be pretty advantageous in a tight labour market when trying to bring on board talented developers who might otherwise prefer to work independently.

I think this[1] blogpost has one of the best introductions to Haskell syntax that I have ever seen, and it doesn't get lost in other stuff. Perhaps you might find it useful.

After some experience, I think the biggest pain point in Haskell's syntax is that it is very light on keywords so many things that would show up as syntax errors in other languages might show up as type errors in Haskell. For example, forgetting a comma in a list will result in a function application between the two list elements instead of a syntax error.

Architecting Sidenotes
Came here to post this as well.
So is C++ and every other modern language. Every language has its positives and negatives depending on the implementation. Haskell is no different. This is why having some impartiality to languages is important. You use the right tool for the job.
Yeah I've got the time, to do it. Thanks. Just didn't know if it would be a good idea.

Before I offer any critical feedback, I want to first say that the first line of code I ever wrote, my "Hello world", was on Codecademy almost immediately after you launched. Since then I've learned how to use programming not only at my job (as a product manager at a web startup), but also to develop full web apps using several of the popular frameworks (flask, django, rails). I credit Codecademy for breaking down the initial barrier to entry (what is control flow, how do you tell a computer what to do, etc). I am a huge fan, but I think there are a few ways you guys could improve.

1) Put the courses into perspective as part of the onboarding process. Why do I need to learn HTML, CSS, JS, or Python? Most people who want to learn have no clue how everything fits together. If you can provide a high level guide as to how and why someone should work through specific codecademy courses you will likely increase satisfaction and completion of courses (just a hypothesis, but this is the most common criticism I hear).

2) I wish codecademy would cover database basics. What is SQL? How should you think about storing data? Until I started researching outside of Codecademy it hadn't even occurred to me that storing and structuring data was a huge part of creating useful applications (I was totally nontechnical). This is the largest hole in terms of actual content.

3) Your classes are already great at teaching newbies the syntax. The big missing component (as some have pointed out), is turning this syntax into real world solutions for real world problems. How do you get past this? You have to break into an area that you aren't comfortable in: Content Production. Unless you can come up with a way to show people how to create and run scripts on their local computer (or maybe a remote server?) through the browser this will continue to be a pitfall of the Codecademy experience. There is probably the potential for you to create some new software that does this (maybe a desktop app), but if you took a codeschool or treehouse approach, only for this stage of the learning, you would be able to truly offer an end to end solution. In your case video content scales just as well as the software. If you were to combine your superior browser interface with high quality video production you would be in a fantastic position to win the "Learn to code online" market. This sets you up with not only a differentiated product offering (your interface is the best), but a future revenue stream. Both of the aforementioned companies are making some serious cash... And thats without even mentioned the real juggernaut (Lynda).

Overall I love the product and think there is a lot of potential. If you have any questions or any of my points require clarification please feel free to shoot me an email (in profile).

Best of luck!
How I created a Passive Income Stream and my advice to those starting off
I agree. I thought the writing was really poor and very hard to follow. One moment he's talking about losing his hearing, then his vision and then having Epstein Barr.

That being said, it seems like a pretty interesting story, good for him for fighting through his problems!
I burned out around six years ago, due to constant insults, being shouted at, sworn at, criticisms (not constructive or analytical in any shape or form), taking the blame for other people's mistakes, threats of being "blacklisted", threats of violence, being treated like a retard, developing an awful cough due to the amount of dust on the premises and the disgusting hypocrisy and double standards practised by many of my co-workers. After eight months of work, I could count the number of positive remarks about my work that I had received on one hand with fingers to spare. The number of "incidents" would require roughly 80 or more pairs of hands to tally.

I don't think I fall under any category mentioned in the article, I will furnish myself with a new category: "burnout by feeling terrorised".

From my experience reporting these incidents to an outside authority is pointless, the usual response is "well everyone has problems at work". Do not give them a soundbite of what insults/threats you have endured, you might spend the night in a prison cell.

From the article:

> Treatments that include emotion regulation, increased cognitive flexibility, and mindfulness may help ward off burnout in susceptible individuals, suggests the research team led by Jesus Montero Marin of the University of Zaragoza in Spain.

After being released from this job, the only thing I diagnosed about myself was: "I try too hard to be understanding and sympathetic of others". If you find yourself in this situation, my treatment would be: if the tactics of your enemy are more effective than yours, copy and adapt them to make your swords sharper.
Building of Weft and the Incremental Iteration of Products

YouTube did something like this a few years ago for April Fools. I think on a modern Retina-level display it would look even more impressive due to the higher resolution and smaller character-pixels.

China will tax world-wide income for non-citizens if they spend 5 contiguous years in China. I recently had my month out (ok, it was more than a year ago) to avoid this situation.

The $100k floor only applies to work done outside of the US. If you work for an American company, you'll invariably go on business trips back home, which mess up your taxes substantially as this isn't covered on the US/China tax treaty.
But that doesn't mean that we have to appoint from within industry. There are probably many academics who would be just as qualified or more than former industry lobbyists. Moreover, these people would probably be more than happy to return to academia and research after serving their tenure.
So your claim is that when "2 km/s" is referenced on page 3 of the reference, the first which obviously is about the implosion speed after the shock is not related to the second -- which is the necessary speed for the lead.

So you repeat the claim of 2km/s for a vortex in the GF reactor.

A few decimeters irregularity in the bottom of the vortex for the lower plasma injector invalidates that, which you certainly know.

I have no physics background (cs/chemistry), but considering e.g. your insisting on the exact definition of Asimov's prediction above (which I acknowledged in my first comment), I believe you're trolling.

So I'd really like to see other's arguments on this. I'm not going to spend time to get the cobwebs out of the part of my head where old math studies are stored for what likely is a troll. I have lost too much time as it is.

Sorry about that. In retrospect I should have hid it until that was ready. In the near future we'll have a desktop site to log into and use as well as mobile.

In the mean time you can also signup in the app.

This is one of my pet peeves. What makes is worse is that if I temporarily enable scripts for the page, there is nothing on it that actually requires scripting. The javascript just displays formatted text. Every HTTP service in existence already does that.
That's true, but the United States and most other English-speaking countries do consider them to be separate continents, and that's why we refer to them that way.

Two things:

1) It's a history book, not particularly an econ book, but "Nation of Deadbeats" covers this well. Each boom-bust cycle is actually quite unique, and most of them are caused by human action and not spontaneous.

2) In the 20th Century, just about all depressions, recessions and hyperinflations were monetary in nature. The ones that were not were due to failed states. A lot of this was due to the gold standard - which is nearly tautological - because since the gold standard was in play, we saw those pathologies. Douglas A. Irwin has a paper "Did France Cause the Great Depression?" that was an eye-opener for me. It actually describes a real mechanism.
Currently you could construct this statically (actually we used to host on S3), but we're building out the desktop app at the same time, so it made sense to host the blog on the same app. This should be rendering HTML server side soon.
This is a natural progression in any social network as people friend more people and follow more pages.

The Ada Initiative.
Short-term pragmatism and long-term pragmatism.
Excellent concepts that I've never thought to quite express.

It seems you can always 'win' an argument in software engineering or TDD by talking about taking the 'pragmatic' solution, or the 'proper' solution. It often seems rather arbitrary whether to build something properly now, or introduce some short-term technical debt.

It's easy to accuse people of being cowboy coders, or architecture astronauts, and it unfortunately seems to fall into these dichotomies. Admittedly there are people like that, but mostly through lack of experience. The progression is maybe commonly cowboy coder-> architecture astronaut -> balanced software craftsman.

There's probably a bunch of steps missing on the way and it's not a clear linear path either, but I do like the term of having different durations of pragmatism, than a one-size fits all, "We'll cut corners to be pragmatic, because we're not architecture astronauts".

Packet loss is the way that TCP/IP transmissions are throttled by the network. It's beautiful in its simplicity that way.
I think there's room for the perspectives offered by both formal and informal writing.

Given the informal context, reminiscing about first job interviews with friends, I feel that the author wanted to share that setting with us as readers.

It may not have been the same decision you would have made, but take it as a chance to learn a new perspective rather than opening with hard criticisms.

The future of crowd-sourced news?
Despite great strides in democratizing news through social applications like twitter , I still have a hard time getting real-time news that's relevant to me (I mostly find news that are relevant/amusing/interesting on a global scale). How can you envision consuming news say 5-10 years down the line ?
P.S: Wild speculation is encouraged as long as it follows a clear train of thought and reasoning.

> The biggest problem I have with the argument about limiting the amount of money that can be spent in elections is that it essentially implies that the electorate is uneducated and easily swayed. So shouldn't the solution be a more informed (however you want to do accomplish that) electorate?

This is true in somewhat the same way that the solution to teenage pregnancy is just to get all the teens to practice abstinence. Where that view falls down is that not all problems are equally tractable. Attacking a tractable problem generally gets better results even if attacking an intractable one seems more noble.
The Exynos has a hardware video codec, it's separate from the GPU.
I don't think a 3270 would be very comfortable for Emacs. I once saw a 3278 hooked to a 390 running Unix (I don't think it was AIX) and seeing text scroll on a 3278 was interestingly alien. Running Emacs would be doable, but most 3270 editors I can remember (low 80's) took advantage of the local terminal smarts and worked on a form/page based concept. Emacs was designed for the VT-100 world where terminals were not particularly smart.

Having said that, you can host Linux VMs under zVM. Binaries will use the zSeries ISA and the whole guest will run under the zVM environment. You can easily ssh to it. IIRC, Debian, Red Hat and SuSe support it.

This would probably be the least cost-effective way to edit text. On the other hand, few terminals were able to render monospaced text so beautifully.
That is why distributed storage would be so much better. You know, if 10 people download a movie, I should be able to download it from any of those 10 people. Or all of them could send me part of the file, improving throughput.

Oh, wait, we already have that technology. Too bad we have people who have worked for twenty years to kill it.
59% of their advertising revenue is off mobile, where their main products are app installs and click-through ads.

They don't break it down, but an ad product boosting likes to a business page that you're describing as highly susceptible to fraud is probably not a best-seller, and isn't even offered on mobile.
This probably isn't news to you, or anyone that cares about Facebook. I was curious about your description and went to investigate, only to find out that it seems Facebook pages are completely inaccessible unless you are signed on. I recall previously being able to see company or event pages without having signed in previously.

I suppose without logging into Facebook you can't make them any money, so why bother giving you any access.
