Given Nitro's being converted to LLVM bit code and NaCl was using it as well, it seems like a good thing to have LLVM bitcode/assembly be declared the web standard language .. then any tool that generates llvmbc can be used with browsers. This would open up a lot of scope for other languages too - bringing the choice of languages the server-side enjoys to the client-side as well.
Rent or Buy? The Math Is Changing
You may be right but considering today's situation, it really looks like a local maximum. Cheap and fast can get you only that far.

What I wonder is why for 20+ years there was no successful free software project that would mimic the Lisp Machines.
Certainly, but she wanted to speak about diversity overall, not just gender. Ignoring all the other parts of diversity in favour of only gender doesn't help solve all the other problems.

Plus, having more awesome women speakers talking about technology rather than their vaginas would help set a precedent that women are just as capable of talking about technology, and the fact that precedent needs to be set still is a big part of that problem too.

It's the fact that she keeps being asked to speak about owning a vagina in technology, rather than being a technologist who incidentally owns a vagina, that upsets her, and that's part of the problem, not part of the solution.
Not everyone reads like that. A good test to note if people uses pattern recognition is the way they pronounce a character proper noun after reading a book: I never can pronounce a character's name at the end of a book as I have never actually "read" it but only "recognized" it.
the problem is where should the client store encryption keys?if one has multiple client on multiple devices,how one does manage all of them?(that's just a question,thanks).

yea fellas, i know this, and it's great. love light table, etc, etc. you're talking to someone who's read every single character on his site several times over. He needs to release his damn code. He could be many times more helpful that way. nobody's saying his talks and research isn't profoundly meaningful--but he could be more so if he released with the code. It's very hard to do a lot of the things he's hinted at. Code will help majorly.

Like most models this assumes there are no black swans. If housing follows tech valuations in bay area then this question is just another way of asking are we living in tech bubble? If bubble is going to burst then hot market will suddenly become very cold.

Looking at valuations of things like Whatsapp or even AirBnB or Dropbox for that matter, I personally think we are living in giant bubble. The profit has little meaning in tech now, revenue projections are extremely optimistic and on the top of that there is huge factors applied on to it to arrive at valuations. This causes funny implications like Dropbox can buy entire chain of Cheesecake Factory with over 150 stores and still have 3/4 of its valuation intact. This would be despite of the fact that all prospective buyers have developed effective competitive products and are giving it away for free.
I grew up drinking milkshakes, but I didn't know that sharing one is a thing in America! So, add another two billion people to that number (highly scientific estimate).

I decided to quit my job and start Webflow.com on the night that I saw Bret's Inventing on Principle video [1] and read his Magic Ink paper [2]. Based on lots of conversations I've had with other entrepreneurs, I'd say that a lot more people are inspired by Bret's work than you might think...

nobody said don't do these talks. I'm saying just release the damn code along with it. like, i said, it makes zero sense if he's trying to help us all. The devil is in the details with coding and creation--the details of his partial implementations could help us all.
I doubt the feedback loop would be very severe, simply because most tuition is not used to pay for faculty. Instead, most goes to the ever-increasing army of administrators whose actual responsibilities are harder and harder to pin down. The more likely scenario is that colleges would be required to trim the fat.

I'm the complete opposite. I'm a bit of a tinkerer, so my hardware and OS are transient (flash a new build every 3 months). Instead of migrating data, my habits have instead slowly evolved to using SAAS. Don't get me wrong, I have a NAS drive somewhere with a load of music/movies on, but I just don't touch it anymore. It's easier to open up a browser and sign-in to grooveshark or google play.

(Apologies for this rant. I'm just hoping someone from Mozilla sees this here.)

I was very excited last year when I found out that there were phones running Firefox OS that you could actually use. I was disappointed when I found out that the only way to get my hands on the hardware in India was to fly to a different country, buy the hardware there, and fly back to India.

It's been a year since that day, and I still haven't been able to get my hands on a Firefox OS device (except briefly playing with a friend's Keon). I get excited every time there's a Firefox OS announcement from Mozilla, only to be let down by the inevitable "We're sorry, we don't ship this product to your country."

If there's a good reason Firefox OS developer devices still aren't available in India – one of the countries Mozilla is targeting with these phones – I'd like to hear it.

I've built a couple of webapps for desktop browsers, and I really like the idea of being able to use the same development stack on a mobile device. Webapps on Android and iOS can do a lot these days, but there's always that one API that you need that is missing. I was hoping I could build something fun with FirefoxOS, but I suppose I should just suck it up already and learn how to use the Android SDK.
"My dyslexia means that the most important thing for me about a language is the tool support, which often rules out new, hip languages." - a language without a proper tooling isn't worth learning. How can a language be "modern" without automated refactoring and smart syntax assistance?

Warms my heart too, but what interests me most about this story is that I recall assemblers being written this way as a sort of a standard technique in the 70's and 80's, and it seems to have been a lost art, now recovered (or, at least in 2001) .. I remember some Tandem (or perhaps Wang?) machines used the shell to emit assembly instructions, and in the days of MIPS as a hardware manufacturer (RISCOS pizzabox) there were such assemblers, very rudimentary, for the boot console, so you could emit code to start the machines ..

{Hmm .. what is the term for this, it occurs so often I'm sure there must be a description of it, where new, old stuff becomes new and interesting again?}
Most of the time I want to watch something, it's on Amazon, not on Netflix. Which is a shame since their video player is vastly inferior.
To me the Apple icon is actually the worst. The Apple icon allows me to guess what the icon might symbolise, but I'm constantly guessing wrong and skip that icon, and it's completely unrememberable, to me at least. It simply looks to much like the download, so I often overlook it, because I think it is the download icon.

The Windows icon or the "graph" is in my opinion much better. Even if it might be stretching the "share" metaphor, at least I'm not skipping the icon because I think it's something else.
Sharing is called 分享 on the Taiwanese Facebook (and in my dictionary).

I think I've only seen 共 in compounds for things that are already shared, communal or co-existant, and notably as an abbreviation for communism. 中共 = 中國共產黨 = Chinese communist party. Not really a positive connotation. :)

you can get an fha loan for 3.5% down for a house up to $625M. If it's a multi-tennant property that can go up to $1.4MM. And to answer your next question, yes you can find housing for those prices in sf. EG I saw a few 800sf 1br and 1200sf 2 br condos about a block and a half from the caltrain station.

There's also a program called 'kiddie condo' that also allows just 3.5% down, but that usually if not always requires a cosigner.
Getting depressed by hanging around with assholes is not very surprising. If these are the people you get to meet in your online activism, it probably helps to stop thinking of them as partial to your cause, especially if you truly believe that there are more constructive ways for the movement to manifest itself.
"Don’t think about marketing and growth until you have a product you know customers love. Everything else comes after that"

This implies that the author thinks marketing is a uni-directional endeavour. Is it? I'd always thought it was a bi-directional thing, perhaps I am wrong.

Superfluous disclaimer: I know nothing about marketing.
Here's a working hypothesis:

| Why is Amazon's security for replacement orders so lax?

Amazon values customer satisfiction above their fraud write-off.

| Why would they send a replacement to an address that has never been associated with me, and is in a wholly different state than the one the original item was sent to?

Because the time between ordering an item, and defect can be sufficiently large to cover moves: people shift around all the time. It's entirely concievable you'd like to exercise replacement rights from Texas, even though you've ordered it from NY.

| How did the scammer know about my order in the first place to social engineer the replacement request?

Via: either buying order requests, using third-party honeypots to capture your info, using the domain registrar, or a combination of any of these.

| Why haven't Amazon black-listed the 13820 NE Airport Way; Portland, Oregon address as a destination for replacements? This package drop address shows up again and again when you Google around for people who have been hit by Amazon scams.

I suspect this might be http://reship.com/ (Alexa rank: 166K). This is entirely legit: if you're a UK customer who'd like to buy stuff that are exclusively US-only, reshippers are the cheapest way to do so. Based on their Alexa rank, I suspect Amazon makes quite a money on these customer segments. Blacklisting them also wouldn't help this case: reshipping companies can easily buy up a handful of different addresses in a range of cities, making this a game of whack-a-mole.

| Can I really trust this company to hold multiple credit card numbers of mine in their database, one click away from someone potentially ordering thousands of dollars of merchandise that they can apparently easily redirect to an address that should have been black-listed years ago, if there were any kind of sane security policy in place?

Note that no credit card, or password database has been compromised in executing this attack. This is social engineering corporate goodwill at it's vilest.

I suspect the root cause of this issue to be the friction-less execution of this engineering. A proper solution for this problem might be as simple as sending out an email with clickthrough-link-confirmation before replacement shipping; this would raise the bar from "knowing about an order" to "knowing about an order, and having an active compromise on the mark's inbox".
>The Windows icon looks too much like Ubuntu to me

The definition of "Ubuntu" (from wikipedia):

"...is often used in a more philosophical sense to mean 'the belief in a universal bond of sharing'..."

Also, I love the circular sharing icon if you see it as an overhead view of 3 people holding hands.

tangle is really old, and his least innovative stuff at this point. it hardly counts my friend. Bret needs to stop teasing us. At least deliver the code for the one he said he would put on github.

I think it's very obvious what needs to happen to software development right now. I'm straightup doing it--my startup is making come to life much of what Bret put forth in Javascript, where it should exist (on the web, not objective c and other technologies). He could help a lot by sharing his code, no matter what language it's in.

His stuff could change the entire landscape, and now. I get it--we're all stupid developers doing the status quo who can't think for ourselves and invent something new. I get his message. And yes, that's a big part of his message whether he knows it or not. But the point is that the stuff he's put forth for all the live coding and coding observability stuff needs to happen now and like a lot--it will enhance coding by several orders of magnitude. So, I don't need any more talks about how we must think. We need to make simply what he put forth. We need to get done his gospel already so he himself can see what it actually looks like and move to the next level.

My guess is he doesn't want to share the code because of some sort of philosophy that we need to do it ourselves, and more people need to be true thinkers and inventors like him, thinking outside the box. Fuck the philosophy. It's kinda arrogant. Release the code if ur not making ur own company out of it. I used to think he was starting his own company, which is why I never spoke up. But my latest prediction (after seeing this maker spaces drivel) is that he certainly is not.

...And it's drivel because he's making the whole point about observability regarding hardware startups, where it's way less of a big deal as in coding. Like, his breakthrough moment was when he pointed out how all us coders were so stupid for going along with how current coding tools work, which are totally unobservable. That is especially relevant in the abstract world of coding, whereas it is way less profound when it comes to concrete hardware objects, which by nature are observable. Not that it doesn't apply--it's just not at the level of breakthrough described in all his essays on his site.

ps. ur talkin to someone who's read every single essay on his site, cherished his every word. this maker space stuff is crap. he's fallin off, side tracked, whatever. I'd like to see him truly help get some of his ideas executed. It would take zero energy on his part--release the code is basically all im asking.

Translation: they're government guaranteed by making the students seel themselves into loan slavery instead of by taxpayer money.

Note the evolution of public finances since this started : expenses increased.

Same thing will happen : government will bow to public pressure to make these things dischargeable, and suddenly the loans aren't worth their interest rate anymore. The government's companies panic and try to get back their principal.

Why ? Because these companies weren't financed by the government, in true American style they loan on the public market, then reloan to the students. Right now they're rated AAA of course, and loan at very low interest to people who probably aren't even worth BBB rating. And they roll over debt. As soon as anyone finds a way to discharge large amounts of student loan debts, there's more than a trillion dollar of loans that go from AAA to < BBB. Then at the end of the month, these loans need to be rolled over ...
This is an interesting research investigation, but it hardly fits into (current) real-world applications of smart metering, at least in the US. In the US, distribution utilities are capturing usage data in 15-30 minute intervals. Some may go as far as 5-minute interval data. But, even at that level, I would think that the granularity of consumption aggregates way too much load activity to pinpoint individual devices or specific activity on those devices.

Maybe someday we'll see metering at 5 second, or smaller, intervals. But, at that point, the only advantage would be specifically to monitor household behavior. Utilities already have more data then they know what to do with. And, if the goal is to identify a household's TV viewing, well, there are better ways to get that data, aren't there?

Then, aren't there technical challenges for capturing 5 second intervals? From what I understand (not being an EE or hardware person), the smart grid RF mesh networks are on the 900MHz band, which have limited spectrum and lots of other usage. In my dealings with mesh network vendors, I have gotten the sense that bandwidth is pretty limited.

The Windows Desktop app is much better as it's all in one place (like the iOS app). However you still have to "add" the music to play it.
I think you are over thinking this a little. If you take "share" as a blanket term for "make this file accessible to others in some form" then it is clear why all of these actions should be grouped together, even if their details and implementation are quite different. That is why I think the ios icon is not so problematic, because "share" in this sense is a generalisation of uploading. You are not necessarily sending the data to a server in the traditional sense, but you are transmitting it to another party in some form.
This has nothing to do with the actual product, which may be great, but... I am so ready for the trend of hyper-animated websites to start dying down.

Gee cry me a river:

'As a result, “the government has made it difficult for banks to price to default rates,” says Mike Cagney, founder of Social Finance, a socially based student lending operation known informally as SoFi. “By accepting FDIC insurance, banks lose pricing flexibility and can’t charge interest rates commensurate with the quality of schools—and default rates vary widely by schools.”'

How about the banks just get out of the student loan business?

Banks are make shitloads on the student loan program: all loans that default are insured.
On Android, iptables packet filter can be used to control what network connections apps are allowed to make. It is, however, an increased maintenance burden.

Well, I don't really "own" my music in a legal sense, although I do own some licenses to music as well as some plastic discs and flash chips that store digital copies of music.

I do have the same intuition that you do that subscription music services are unsatisfying, but I think the line is starting to blur. I use iTunes almost exclusively as my music library, through iTunes Match and my own iTunes purchases. Other than the songs that happen to be cached on my devices, this is not physically any more permanent or "owned" than a subscription service like Spotify. Granted, I can download and backup music from iTunes, but that's an additional step that most people presumably don't do. (I do keep fairly recent backups of my music, and much of my especially cherished music is backed up from CDs, though I refuse to purchase physical media these days.)
