this may get me down-voted, but i tend to drive faster and more aggressively than, uh say, my parent's would like me to [1]. when i'm driving this way, i'm fully engaged and almost always "in the zone." i constantly work towards a better position and continuously work to predict actions of all cars around me and the consequent reactions of other cars to that action, as well as any reactions i'd make at any point. my mental model of traffic is largely based on fluid dynamics, w/ hooke's law (springs) thrown in for stop/go traffic. i often joke w/ my wife that if there were an olympic event for navigating through traffic, i'd at least qualify for the team. while risks are greater than going 65 in a 65 and not changing lanes, i'm never ever reckless. some may disagree, but b/c of the heightened level of engagement, i do consider my self far safer than other cars on the road who commute home, thinking about work and largely disengaged. day dreaming? can't. texting, etc? cant. drinking coffee? can't. fwiw, i've always driven a car with a manual transmission, and i do feel it's a variable in lower levels of driver disengagement. i've never had an accident or ticket while driving in this manner.

driver disengagement is the problem, whether caused by a physical, visual, or cognitive distraction. the goal shouldn't be weighting how dangerous these various devices are, it should be on how to ensure drivers are engaged to a point where they can take over from auto-pilot (repetitive aspect) when something goes wrong.

[1] i'm not a kid, i have many kids of my own, just trying to avoid quantification of driving.
What’s at stake in San Francisco’s fight over how to legalize Airbnb
This is anecdotal, but having known schizophrenics, make sure your son stays away from drugs (e.g. marajuana and the like). I had a close friend who attributed his very bad schizophrenic symptoms to an increase in drug use (specifically marajuana). Correlation does not imply causation, but in this case, it's probably not worth the risk.
Lego is really, really paranoid about the kids being exposed to "bad influences" and predators. Those definitely exist, but Lego is a huge, fat target for lawsuits. IIRC chat was next to nonexistent in the Lego online products.

Mojang? Too small to care about. The parents seem to know that; at least I haven't heard about any multi-million dollar lawsuits revolving around MineCraft's chat, for instance.

I really wonder what Microsoft is going to do about this.

Yes. Basecamp is great for managing them all. If ideas sit too long and get cold, I archive or delete them.

Another way I deal with "cold" ideas is through StartJumper: http://startjumper.com. I design a one page business plan, brand it, then sell it as a concept or business starter.
`luden dare'

There is a latin root word that means 'play', `have fun'. There is a philosophy and a religion whose names are coined off this word. Perhaps `ludens'? Hesse's Glasperlenspiel -Glass Bead Game?

Learning about notch here this morning, I see a master living this reality regardless of philosophy or religion nonsense or the noisy crowds.

He `got game'.

Note the date.

Here's the quote:

"I carefully evaluated every single document I disclosed to ensure that each was legitimately in the public interest," he said. "There are all sorts of documents that would have made a big impact that I didn't turn over, because harming people isn't my goal. Transparency is."

The article itself continues immediately:

"He purposely chose, he said, to give the documents to journalists whose judgment he trusted about what should be public and what should remain concealed."
That presupposes that a treatment exists for the "correct" diagnosis. In bipolar disorder there is a wide range of symptoms and prognosis. However, the subgroup don't inform treatment decisions to the point that the first choice of treatment usually works.

Any subdivision must lead to better treatment options and guidance to be meaningful.
Ideally, the language won't permit you to make such assumptions without making them explicit. In practice, every language falls short of that, and many implementations of generics fall far short of that. Note, though, that manually implemented generics - copy-pasting and changing what you have to - isn't actually any better in this respect.
Interesting comment about the petrochemical revolution here:

We’re living in the wake of the petrochemical revolution of 100 years ago. The petrochemical revolution gave us free energy—free mechanical energy, in this case. It changed the texture of society in most ways. This revolution, the information revolution, is a revolution of free energy as well, but of another kind: free intellectual energy. It’s very crude today, yet our Macintosh computer takes less power than a 100-watt light bulb to run and it can save you hours a day. What will it be able to do ten or 20 years from now, or 50 years from now? This revolution will dwarf the petrochemical revolution. We’re on the forefront.

---------

What I think is interesting is that the computer revolution is, and will continue to be, dependent on the petrochemical revolution.

We are in the process of finding out whether we can replace petrochemicals with renewables. If we can't, or only partially can, computing gets more expensive. This goes contrary to our expectations of more and cheaper computer, indefinitely.

I don't see it as an either/or proposition if appropriate limits* are set. My wife (a former montessori teacher) was of the same opinion. After observing how they play and interact, and its impact on other activities, she has come around to the power of the game.

Just sharing my anecdotes, not trying to change opinions. I'm sure there's some actual research out there on the topic.

*time played, game modes, who/where they play, etc.
> NSA also tapped FB upstream.

Which might have made sense as a defense if Snowden was talking about MUSCULAR... but he was talking about PRISM, and by your logic (saying he had IC expertise and wasn't simply a sysadmin) he should have known better than to confuse "direct access to Facebook" with "data directly from Facebook's servers".

Honest question: is there any compelling reason to tie the account you buy songs from to your device? It seems to me that the way the manage your music for you is more of a nuisance than anything else.

Maybe I should restate the question in more general sense. I keep my gmail logged out while I browse, I never connect my kindle to wifi, because I find all of these integration moves to be more of a nuisance than anything else. So in general hat's in it for me? what's good reason to sell all of my data to large_tech_company, as opposed to just some of it?
I have this exact same problem on google music. They give you tons of free pop stuff and I HATE almost all of it. There's no way that I have discovered to remove it from your library either (at least from the phone's interface). This prevents me from shuffling all the songs in my library because 90% of them are shit pop songs I don't like.

Edit:

It appears you can remove songs one at a time. But you cannot remove entire albums Google has added to your library. see: http://imgur.com/a/CrsKN

It appears you CAN do this from the website.

This statement is not true.
"...That is why it’s hard doing interviews and being visible: As you are growing and changing, the more the outside world tries to reinforce an image of you that it thinks you are, the harder it is to continue to be an artist, which is why a lot of times, artists have to go, “Bye. I have to go. I’m going crazy and I’m getting out of here.” And they go and hibernate somewhere. Maybe later they re-emerge a little differently."

Apropo today given Notch's announcement.
They do let you hide purchases so that they won't show up on in the music list on iOS and iTunes. They won't let you delete a purchase, which makes sense.

It's confusing because they're using purchase history as a basis for your entire library, which might not sync up with your mindset for your music list. I've definitely hidden past purchases that I know I'll never need easy access to.
"...and share his vision of gaming."

I think you may be ascribing meaning to a man with no such vision. He says he just wants to have fun and tinker, not change the world and I think that probably sums up his sentiments pretty well. I myself would love to change the world, I don't think you'd ever hear me speak those words. If you're a like-minded individual then I think it can be hard to put yourself in those shoes. Some people actually are just happy doing what they enjoy.

Snowden "chose for himself" just as much as John Walker "chose for himself" to figure out U.S. Navy anti-submarine doctrine during the 80s and pass it to the Russians.

Wow, I'd never seen that. What an odd restriction.
> and people cheating like this screw with the airline's

No. That is not cheating.

The airlines offer something for sale and I buy it. If buying a third ticket makes my entire trip cheaper - it would be illogical for me not to buy it. And whether or not I use it is entirely up to me.

The problem is the airlines are using inefficient and illogical pricing - for a whole host of reasons including incompetency and unwillingness to adapt to a changing marketplace.

> to keep flying some-what affordable to everyone.

Saying this keeps flying affordable for all is a "feel-good" argument - it has no substance.

There has been so much bullshit in psychiatry.
My mother, who lived for her children, was essentially accused of child abuse by a psychiatrist during his explanation of my sister's diagnosis of schizophrenia to her. She apparently had been an over controlling and cold mother.
None of her children would subscribe to that.
However that accusation and the stress of caring for my sister over many years contributed, in my view, to my mother's untimely death to an autoimmune disease.
I'm sure that psychiatrist probably never gave it any thought beyond that day.
Psychiatry has a long way to go before I'll consider it has risen beyond quackery.
I don't understand this line of thought at all.

For this guy a step to get to whatever his goal is was to raise funding on Kickstarter. He was successful in that.
You can download it, you just have to check a preference to 'show iTunes in the Cloud purchases' or something like that in settings.

As someone who didn't mind they gave me free stuff, it was hard to find out how to actually GET it.

Very strange, start to end.
Or Comcast just is that terrible. I'm not sure people are faking these 30 minutes long captures of a sales person repeatedly asking you to upgrade when you are calling to cancel.
I've been (politely, but firmly) going back and forth with iTunes support on this and had already written a draft to Tim Cook that I planned to send today. This is welcome news.

On a side note, how likely is it that we'll ever hear a correction from U2's record label as to the success of the launch? Spoiler: no chance.

Edit:
> Bono added that Apple had "paid" for the giveaway…

I was too quick to post without reading.
It's a little scary how quickly an unsourced and highly questionable story can spread when it feeds a popular narrative (in this case that Comcast is evil).
This was such a dumb idea. Just make the thing free, and if people want it they'll get it. Bad time to be doing anything that could be construed as "creepy", when you're getting into the payments business.

Dumb.
There's actually a lot of debate about that in games: best-selling games tend to be often at least in part boosted by bundling with consoles. For example, the two best-selling games of all time by some counts are Tetris and Wii Sports, but somewhere around 25% of Tetris's sales came from being bundled with the Gameboy, and >95% of Wii Sports sales were from bundling. (You can see some of that debate in the endless archives of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_video_game...).

Just discounting bundled sales doesn't seem quite right either, though. If you're measuring a game's ability to independently market itself, maybe, but if you're using it as a proxy for game popularity, # of players, cultural reach, etc., then bundled games like Super Mario Bros genuinely have a ton of players and historical importance.
Depending on how your preferences are set in iTunes it may now show up in your music lists even though you 'own' it. I ran into that myself.

The risk is only as big as the risk of the flight being cancelled altogether. The reason they go through a specific hub is due to the network effects: The person going from LA to Des Moines sits next to a person going to New York and a person going to Miami, and after the transfer sits next to a person coming from Boston and a person coming from Seattle. Rerouting willy-nilly to punish cheaters would impose a far greater cost on themselves.
They will certainly do this if you miss a connection (because, say, the plane you were supposed to get on never showed up and the one that did eventually arrive hours later was 50 seats smaller than it was supposed to be and had a malfunctioning main cabin door that had to be repaired before it could take off again... to use a completely hypothetical example).

Their system will literally not let them rebook you to somewhere other than your original final destination. I was flying to AMS, but the soonest they could rebook me on a flight there was 24 hours later (late enough to miss the event I was supposed to be attending). They had a perfectly good flight to DUS, which was actually closer to my final destination (by train) than even AMS was, and couldn't put me on that.

They finally booked me on a flight to AMS through DUS (with an 18 hour layover), but told me if I got off in DUS, my return ticket would be canceled, thanks to all the people who try to cheat fares this way. On the way, I managed to get one of the agents frustrated enough with her own computer system that she took out a physical pad of paper, stamped it with some kind of official stamp (she had to tick over a counter on the stamp with a special tool), and told me to go show it to the lady around the corner. The lady around the corner worked for a completely different airline, who happily took the piece of paper and gave me a free ticket to DUS.

So, yeah, thanks guys, for ruining the system for honest people.

I agree education is a big problem in Brazil. IMO, the main issue is this culture around not asking questions so it won't look like you don't know something. As a consequence, getting involved and going into depth to really learn something just isn't that much encouraged because it would require, well, asking many many questions!
> What do you do to minimize irritants like uneven margins and wonky viewing angles?

My favorite solution: CamScanner. It's one of the apps I use most on my Android phone, and is available on iOS too. There's a free version and a Pro version for $5. I don't know the differences offhand, but I bought the Pro version without a second thought after trying the free one.

It autodetects the edges of your document and crops and deskews it, and then enhances the color/brightness/contrast for readability. It will do this automatically or you can adjust the cropping and enhancement manually.

For more intensive cleaning up of scans (either from a camera or a scanner), there's a wonderful open source app called Scan Tailor:

http://scantailor.org/

A few months ago I scanned an old manual for the SIMPL (Systems IMPLementation) language we developed and used at Tymshare in the '70s. It was a photocopy of an original manual with most of the pages skewed a bit one way or the other, and dark speckles all over the place.

I cut off the binding (lucky for me it was Velobind so I just cut off the back strip with a knife and had it re-bound at Kinko's when done) and ran the pages through my Brother MFC-9070cdw at 600 dpi. Scan Tailor took the page images and deskewed them, removed the speckles and generally cleaned things up. There were one or two pages where I made some manual adjustments - and also I turned off the feature where it zooms the page to fit just the text on it since I wanted the text to be the same size on all pages. Other than that I just let it do its thing and the result was pretty nice - the PDF looks much better than the original manual!
Typo:

[0-9]{1,2} U\.S\.\C. § \d+(\w+)?( \([0-9]{4}\))?
Should probably be:

[0-9]{1,2} U\.S\.C\. § \d+(\w+)?( \([0-9]{4}\))?

\C. -> C\.

Great work! The line between computer user and computer programmer needs to be blurred. Many people who use computers would benefit from knowing a little programming. Just look at how useful Excel is.
Limiting circumstances is any case when people can't pay off the debt right away. For instance when buying living property which requires them to pay it off in 30 years because of insane pricing or simply when they have consumer debt like described in this article.
It's been interesting to see genetics slowly get expanded to help understand more conditions...

Just like cancer isn't caused by one thing, many of the common "psych" diseases aren't caused by one thing. The more obvious candidates for a strong genetic component are disorders like depression, alcoholism, and ADHD; but I'm sure this will be broadened into other mental health areas like diet, obesity and stress management.

There is still a strong environmental component, so I'm not trying to say that genetics is everything, but it's still important.
they buy it. ag drugs are not very heavily regulated.
This article does not seem to apply the same standards to itself that it purports to demand of psychology. Among other things, it freely makes false claims about the state of psychological research and then trots out a handful of examples to be assumed as exemplars.

It's little better than the Scientology "PSYCHIATRY IS DEATH" material.
In short, we totally disagree about everything.

Not surprising, given the # of downvotes I'm getting on here all the time.

It can make sense do grow the biz dev part of the business in the US while hiring the engineers in Brazil - this is what Waze did (replace Brazil with Israel) by the way. In Silicon Valley people refer to this kind of company structure as the "israeli model".
more importantly, the use of "natural" to describe a product with the implication that it being synthetic would be a bad thing is a fallacy.

In general I agree with you - much of the mental health field is bullshit. However, there are some really good people who are trying to make it better. So, like much of medicine, the problem becomes trying to find one of the good ones...
I sure hope not. Associating genetic variations with symptoms or physiological findings is a relatively clear-cut statistical problem. The major challenge in whole genome association studies (or their extension to whole genome sequencing data) is to get enough data to draw meaningful conclusions.

There is a cognitive dissonance in biology/medicine: On the one hand they complain about too much data to process, but at publication time, the power is too low...
I remember when my parents tried to temper a particularly deep obsession with a specific video game from my youth. My father was very quick to brand it as "not real life", "anti-social" and "worthless".

Needless to say, attempting to ban the game from my life was unsuccessful, even with scorched earth policies like physically cutting internet cables. Meanwhile, I firmly credit my time on this game as the kindling to my career as a developer. A point which (along with making more at 23 than he did at 45) I take great pleasure in reminding my father of whenever the opportunity arises.

Here's to hoping your kid grows up and finds an annoying and creative way to say "I was right, you were wrong, check out this pile of cash I got"
Sounds more like an issue with time management at home. A very permissive schedule might be: no games or internet until after 8pm, one hour limit, weekdays only. Weekends, up to two hours total, after family activities, chores, etc.

I suppose I don't totally understand your decision. If your children were equally as engrossed in a popular and technical school sport or club, would you disenroll them from it and cut them off from their peers? Have you found that your children having deep, socially enhancing interests and being willing and able to learn new or advanced concepts to be mutually exclusive?

Things like this can be important to kids, so if you're willing to give it another chance (since it sounds like you enjoyed it, too), I would try incorporating principles of analog circuits into labs for your kids to do in Minecraft, then design a project with them using what they've learned to see if it works the same way in the game as it does in the physical world.

(I haven't played Minecraft, so I don't know that this is possible, but from what I've heard about it, it seems plausible.)
@yusw is there any way to see more documentation, for example, on how the image uploading is handled? Also, is there a way (twitter?) where we can get updates on the progress of this project? I am fairly certain we will want to license it for a current project. Perfect for our needs.
