> 1. It seems, possibly, the exact wrong time to make rooms with giant displays. With things like Google Glass and Oculus Rift as first gen (2nd?) VR/AR you could project all of that info virtually and cheaply and be able to have all the visualization he describes wherever you are, not just at a makerspace that only a few people can use at a time.

I think the reason he wants giant displays is the reason we have giant shared displays in control rooms to: so you can see what others are looking at. Don't forget maker spaces are supposed to be communal spaces where you share ideas. You can learn a lot just by watching someone else use a tool the right way. And then there's of course the collaboration, where shared displays are even more important.

> Amazon is out quite a bit of product and a lot of trust from me.

The product is still a drop in the bucket for Amazon. Hopefully some of you actions will trigger their fraud protection dept. to blacklist the address or maybe they think it's not worthwhile blacklisting a whole address with multiple suites for a tiny amount. Anyway, I don't think it's reason enough to lose trust in Amazon. As long as they got the honest customer covered, it's OK to lose some when you are running a business of Amazon's scale.

As @sdrinf mentioned, it's social engineering at play. Maybe they can raise the bar to placing phone orders/replacements. Or maybe they think, they'll lose more business by adding a teeny hurdle than gain on fraud recovery.

> He worked for a company out of his own will

Did he?

I understand a guy like Brett Victor has more options than most people, but think of the statistics for a second. Most of us work for corporations. The only real choice here is which corporation. (There are other ways, but they often amount to helping corporations, or building your own. That doesn't exactly solve the problem.)

At the end of the day, one's gotta eat. Are you willing to starve to save your own soul? Neither am I. But I'd like to have my cake and eat it too anyway.

---

Background: I side with Noam Chomsky and most classical anarchists here: corporations are a systemic problem: they just concentrate too much power. We should dissolve them. As for the problems they solve (like shiny graphic cards), I'm sure we can think of a better way than corporate capitalism (no, I'm not thinking of command economies that are often associated with "socialism" —yet are anything but).

TL; DR; Possibility to have URL link only to portions of a document with the rest of the document showing as transparent.

When wanting to link within a html document we can have only two possibilities anchor to a name or an id attribute.

But many times the author of the page doesn't provide id or name to be linked.

Too many times I wanted to show someone only a part of a page.

Is it a good idea for browsers to support something like this, and have a "Make an URL for Selection" right click option?

URL##<CSS Path>

Would jump to that specific element.

URL###<CSS Selector>

Would show only wanted selected part of the document the rest being transparent, with an accessible option to show the entire original document.

This way you could share articles with friends article without adds or comments, or highlight just a section of some page on the internet.

I am aware that this could be done in the browser/HTML standard or done externally by using a web-service and a browser plugin.

Would you use this kind of feature or is it just a fad of mine?

I see it a great feature but I might be biased so this is why I am putting this idea outside to the test to see if its an easy kill or might have some traction.

Thank you

All that chart shows me is the following -

As stated earlier; humans beings must die. If not from infection or injury then from lifestyle factors.

The fact that we have lived to an age whereby lifestyle not predators, infection, war, crime or malnutrition will kill us should be celebrated.

Worldcup Updates From Google
No, this is not true at all. In practice every program is typed. There is no useful function that is fully general, so in practice there are limits on the types and the values of the inputs.

All dynamic typing gets you is that you can ignore this fact, and then hit it head on when you make a mistake.

It is possible to give programs that are truly dynamically typed, but they are not "real" programs. What can you do to a variable with zero information on what it contains ? Not much : return it, pass it around, ... that's about it.

The real complaints are mostly about two things

1) it's hard to know what type an input parameter should be, so I just don't. This is just not a valid complaint. But type inference helps a lot here. Generic programming catches the other usecases.

2) many languages make it really hard to correctly specify types. This is a language flaw. Dynamic typing can be an improvement over C code, but not over Haskell code. Other languages are somewhere in between.

Sometime, it's another flaw that may exist : the standard libraries are not correctly thought out to have a good algebraic structure (e.g. correct IS-A relationships for all number types, and the ability to generalize over them)

These complaints basically boil down to people having constructed wrong type systems. It's a flaw in many, many languages. Python and Haskell are the only ones I know to get it close to right.

3) You want to eval() in your program (or, for example, read in arbitrary json). If you're doing this, you're doing something wrong. Even if you do manage to isolate things correctly (history says you are unlikely to get this right), you're open to trivial DDOSing.
It is quite telling that the article itself, towards the very bottom, prompts to share with facebook, twitter and google+ buttons -- but no share icon of any sort.

For good reasons, too: when you want to share something, you invariably want to do so in a specific manner, meaning email, FB, twitter, HN, etc., rather than plain "share".

The meat of the article is about the follow on effects from that. Higher default should mean higher interest rates is a higher cost which would push down enrollment in those underperforming schools (which also underperform for students) and/or push the the school's price down. To the extent that loans are insured, the banks profits aren't really affected by incorrectly priced risk.

I'm very skeptical of free market solutions to higher education affordability issues. I think it's nonsense. But, screaming your slogan (fuck banks!) at a sentence from an article making a point about a different point of view is basically youtube comments.

Same here in Poland. Only the free universities are the good ones. Any paid-for private university is immediately considered worse and is very unlikely to result in a good job. All top 100 universities in the country are completely free.

And like the commenter above said - private universities will push through 90% of their students, so the degrees they get are worth close to nothing,no matter how much they paid. Meanwhile, the most prestigious schools in the country lose over 50% of the students in the first year because requirements are so high,and because they are not afraid of letting people go(they are not paying, so they are not entitled to anything). Out of 200 people signing up for an engineering course,only 20-30 people will actually graduate(and those engineers are sought after by every company in the country,because they are guaranteed to be good).

Nice site, but I'm always puzzled by this idea that a business can be managed entirely with a cookie-cutter product. Surely if your business can run on something like that, it has zero competitive advantage, right?

In practice, I find that supporting all the edge cases inherent in my business made it very worthwhile to build my own such tool. But then, I guess there are many other entrepreneurs out there who don't have the tech skills to roll their own version of this... this is probably for them rather than for me, and it certainly beats spreadsheets hands down.
On a similar topic, FORTH assemblers are interesting. You write FORTH code like:

It's not necessarily the color or the animations, I feel the page as a whole doesn't do a great job of communicating what the actual product is/does.

Nice fonts and icons but it fails to bring across the message. A little more text and some screenshots would have gone a long way imho.
No, having them voluntarily start gushing about how great it is is better.

Also, who is the boss/supervisor who would fire or penalise the driver for saying it's not great? More importantly, since there no strenuous and expensive licencing going on, it's simple to just stop being an Uber driver if it doesn't suit you.

Looks like you can buy order requests from people who social engineered order numbers out of amazon reps via chat. A rep from amazon provided someone who didn't authenticate themselves amazon order numbers [1].

I've worked in the online video streaming industry and I've never heard of such a restriction. I have heard of such restrictions for music streaming, however. (i.e. to be a "radio" service, a.la Pandora, you cannot have a predictable linear playlist).

Even if you have "auto-play", this is vastly different than the "scheduled content" of traditional TV.

Netflix stops every few episodes because there are per-stream costs, whether bandwidth or licensing (it's a waste to leave shows playing all night while someone's left their computer).

Does this support an ability to set up project templates or do any kind of business process/workflow management?

I have a specific business proces/structure that I need projects to run through with various roles intersecting at various stages. Each delegate needs to know what their role is and when they need to perform it.

Can this handle something like that?

I can't even imagine the justification in a board meeting that allows for shrinkage on their scale for such an easy resolution.

To me, a simple resolution would be to escalate the "item not received," issue to a state side department (not in India, from what I'm understanding), track recent orders and customer interaction (super simple algorithm), and lastly and MOST importantly do not allow customer orders to be given out so freely with a verification of address and name (at least require an account pin or last 4 digits for the order in question).

If Amazon implemented at least these barriers, then the security of an account would fall where it should...back on the owner...not so easily be phished through Whois data, or just knowing someone has an Amazon account.

It's almost as if a black hat could use a phone book and tie names, with addresses and phone numbers and straight phish for data. This is just way too easy for fraud that the fact that it's Amazon is appalling.

Nope. I had my Kindle replaced 3 times, and never had to send the old ones back, even though I said to the rep that I have no problem with that.

Basically the original Paperwhite had a wifi bug where in a presence of certain SSIDs it would crash the wifi driver and the wifi would stop working entirely. So I would ring up amazon,explain the situation, they would send me a new paperwhite, the same thing would happen, rinse&repeat. They never acknowledged that it's actually a bug in their software,they just kept sending me new paperwhites. After I got 4 of them, I finally managed to convince the person on the phone that sending me new paperwhites does not fix my problem, and they agreed to send me the new paperwhite 2 - which did indeed fix the problem. I was told explicitly that I don't have to send the old kindles back - but they are blocked from joining the Amazon network again, so you can only use them offline. Still, looks like a massive waste for Amazon,but I guess it's like nothing for them.
