> "I'd love for them to learn how to build a real circuit or a real tree house"

Part of learning how to build something is being able to visualize it, prototype it, and understand the key principles.

Professional electrical engineers don't always begin by building physical circuits. They sometimes begin by laying them out in software, refining them in software, and then eventually printing a usable version.

MineCraft is a great way to explore the idea of building. So is lego, and construction kits of various sizes.
Yup. There's a reason it's been Amazon's best-selling laser printer for... at least a year, I think.

I believe I've read that baggage-handling expenses are estimated to run somewhere around $10 for the typical bag. Instead of giving that service away for free, they can ask for that $10 as baggage fees, reducing the price of the ticket on a price-comparison website by ($10 * avg_bags_per_pax) and attracting more business.

You forgot to tell us WHY.

Clearly you want to talk about it since you brought it up. So why did you switch from Android to iOS (8)/iPhone 6?

iPhone 6 and iOS 8 are definitely doing well at playing catch up: Larger sizes, custom keyboards, NFC, pop-over text message reply box, and so on. But all of this has been available on Android for literally years.

The only place where I feel iOS really kicks Android's butt is in security and privacy. Google's permissions are too broad and the lack of notifications for invasive things (e.g. Address Book access) is particularly troubling. Third party solutions exist but they void your warranty to install (require unlocked bootloader, root, etc).

I am not an accountant -- but you should talk to one if this is for a lot of money (or learn to put together the cashflow/depreciation schedule yourself)

Leasing is generally more expensive overall, but offers near-term tax deductions that match cash outlays (instead of depreciation). It might be shorter term better for cash-flow.

If you don't make any revenue, deductions are meaningless.

Truth be told, I didn't know Min when creating Picnic, but I loved it when I saw it and will try it for sure.

The main point of creating Picnic CSS was to make a more complete and semantic version than Pure but not as large as Bootstrap. Also, adding some interaction like pushable and toggable buttons, hover states and responsive navbar which were traditionally done with Javascript.

These are the pros I think from Picnic over Min:

* <input> actually has some light validation. This is not yet in the DOC though.

* Forms are more consistent since I've styled all elements to look alike.

* Responsive grid (mobile first).

* Built on top of Normalize, so many of the elements have actually a lot of intensive external testing

* Default <select> that looks nice (couldn't find Min's one so I am not sure whether this is actually something better)

* The invasiveness main advantage is that, with one single line, you have Picnicss already working for you, while in most other frameworks you have to be constantly checking the documentation to see what class names to use.

* Under 1 week of development. This is not a final version, just a point where I wanted to stop and ask for feedback, so I showed it in HN and got better feedback I could ever imagine.

* [opinion] Encourage the use of Fontello instead of the old glyphs

* [opinion] The style in general looks more personalized with Picnic

* [opinion] Not supporting IE5 - IE7. Depending on your audience, this is a pro or a con. I consider it a pro since the statistics (for most America-Europe) tells us that there's almost no one using it, and it cuts a lot of code/testing and allows for using the latest improvements.

And the Cons:

* Buggy. It's a very young project so it's only normal that it has some bugs. I'm fixing them as fast as I can.

* Low browser support. While I wanted to support IE8 initially, I decided not to. This is because my audience is mostly 18 - 30 years old people. However this really depends on your audience so you must test it, but Picnic also degrades nicely in most of the cases.

* Incomplete documentation. There are some things that are not yet documented.

* Incomplete testing. Any help about how to test it on many platforms easily would be greatly welcome.

Note how some of the pro/cons are biased. However I couldn't see you mentioning any disadvantages or limits for Min. What do you think it's lacking?

Another point is variety. It's great to have many different options to choose, and I saved minfwk.com and will surely use it at some point.

PS, I have writen so many times the size of Picnic at so many stages that I've confused everyone. It's actually 2.7kb when minimized and zipped, so only 3 times bigger (;

Or perhaps he doesn't WANT to be the kind of person you "we all" wish he was. This idea that people who are good enough at a thing must somehow become a CEO or leader creates a lot of unhappy people.

Maybe but is it really a fair question?

Notch wasn't the only owner. In fact, he owns less than 50% and they have 40+ employees.

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

Open sourcing it would likely screw his co-founders, employees with stock options, etc. compared to the size of this deal.

Tbh, I'd be happier if he donated 10% of his earnings from this sale to Open Source projects and feeding people. Rather than, y'know, having gone the route you suggested. He also seems like the kind of guy that would.
It's arbitrage, not arbitration. I believe the mint began by denying orders from people suspected of being crazy-exploitative, and ultimately terminated the program altogether. (You can still order the coins, but you'll have to pay for shipping.)
The Galaxy Nexus is a special case, because its SoC producer (TI) stepped out of the smartphone market and apparently the drivers were closed source. The Nexus 4 and 5 will probably fare better.

Although in contrast to e.g. Safari on Android, Chrome does get continuous updates, even on older phones. But, of course, the general point is still true - most Android phones are updated for a miserably short period. Cyanogenmod deserves a lot of credit of lengthening the lifespan of devices.

It was a bizarre choice to throw the album into everyone's library, rather than just feature it on the iTunes front page as a free download. They probably wanted people to discover the album faux-serendipitously, but I feel they showed a profound lack of understanding of (or disregard for) people's music listening habits and preferences.
Comcast likely cares very much if you run a Tor exit. They don't care at all (and probably can't even tell) if you just use the browser bundle.

Someone was likely threatened with disconnection for the former. This is probably the source of the confusion.
I find this research to be very interesting. It should make it much easier to pin down the cause of the individual features of Schizophrenia, many of which are believed to be caused or triggered by the modern Human diet (refined sugars, grains, other (sometimes highly) processed foods et al.) by a growing number in the scientific community.
I heard a lot of people complain that the album had been automatically added to their library. I'm glad that they made a simple way for people with limited knowledge to remove it.

I still don't understand why the songs were automatically added and downloaded. Why were they not simply made available for free on iTunes?
Credit card, new car and catalogue debt. Everything purchased is gone or broken.

I threw a lot of money into a mortgage and ended up in negative equity for 2 years as well.

This is how I learned that status and material things are not important. Unfortunately my parents taught me the opposite to this and I paid with slavery for a long time. I realised that they too are slaves to their purchases and status.

Shit happens! Everything I own is worth about £1000 now and I can afford to just replace it and go "meh".

You may confuse talent with algorithmic or scientific skills. Which, in the case of videogame is just one small part of the whole.

People like notch and other indie developpers are looking for things beyond immediate technical prowess or easy instant fun. They are after something you may call poetry, and how to explore new opportunities created by technology.

In this regard and judging by the large interest of children for minecraft, this man is talented.

I have no idea how airline accounting works, but if these numbers are correct, you'd have to assume quite a bit of money collected is not counted as revenue and is going to cover direct costs like taxes.
Before I start, I want to make it clear that I am smiling as I type this. I think this discussion is valuable, and your opinions are valuable. While I disagree with you on many points, I am not trying to insult you. :-)

Responses to your responses:

1 and 2) I guess I'm trying to say that maybe the differences do not matter as much as you think they do. The virtual world is encroaching on the physical world more and more, but in the same way, our lives are sliding into the virtual just as much. Not only does this seem to be inevitable to me, but it also seems like a positive development.

3) I would certainly be a different person! I don't think we can really know which approach was better, but I know that I am enjoying life as I am. I fear that less freedom as a child would have turned me into a bitter, broken adult.

5) It is a cool social experiment! I'm not sick of it though :-)

I might not respond again for a while. There is work to be done!

That's really good news - if the same were discovered for bipolar and depression (which are often diagnosed along the lines of "well, you have these symptoms, so you probably have it") then it could help prevent a lot of misdiagnoses and increase quality of life.

> Comcast doesn’t monitor our customer’s browser software, web surfing or online history.

I'd take this as evidence they monitor every connection that isn't over http ... which happens to include VPNs and Tor. Otherwise, they would have just said "We do not monitor your internet connection except to gather aggregate statistics for billing purposes".
We (www.lalina.com.br) are a Brazil only startup and have had some success with a different model. Our head office is in NYC (better access to talent) and we just opened our office in SP. We are beauty only and a traditional business model. We discovered early on many of the points this article highlights and confirm confirm most of them. Talent is a huge problem in brazil and the startup culture is only in some small circles. Not to mention vc's are very unsophisticated and do not offer much value except for cash and what they read off investment blogs, granted there are a few exceptions.

I think it depends on your icloud settings. If you set music to automatically download when added to your library, the song would just pop up on your device.
This is promising. If you read the DSM (the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, published by the American Psychiatric Association), it reads a lot like a fuzzy pattern-matching algorithm:

(A) Characteristic symptoms: Two (or more) of the following,
each present for a significant portion of time during a
1-month period (or less if successfully treated):

(1) delusions
(2) hallucinations
(3) disorganized speech (eg. frequent derailment or incoherence)
(4) grossly disorganized or catatonic behavior
(5) negative symptoms, ie., affecting flatting, alogia,
or avolition.

Note: Only one Criterion A symptom is required if delusions
are bizzare or hallucinations consist of a voice keeping a
running commentary on the person's behavior or thoughts,
or two or more voices conversing with each other.

What is a "delusion?" What is "bizarre?" There is a lot of subjective judgment here, and just generally speaking this feels more like alchemy than science.

I don't mean to criticize this approach too much though, because without a more detailed understanding of the underlying mechanisms and causes, this approach is the best possible way of at least clustering mental problems into groups. That at least allows people to share data about what treatments have worked for people in each cluster.

But if we can get a better understanding of the true underlying causes, and isolate the causes with better granularity, it should put us in a much better position to (I hope) provide much better and more specific treatment.

There are two forms of this argument. Many people don't care about new features but everyone needs to care about security updates and, eventually, a relatively recent browser. If they don't care yet, give them one major exploit and they will next time.

Many Android users have a distinctly inferior web experience because they're running a copy of WebKit from 2011 or so but they'd be perfectly okay with an upgraded browser which has the same UI but supports the more recent features supported by the sites they use. Unlike the app situation, this is more noticeable because sites upgrade outside of your control and Android's fragmentation means that many sites won't make it a major priority when deciding whether to backport or simply disable new features on older devices.
Fine points, but he's not likely to be a billionaire.

He's a part of owner. Throw in the 30% Sweden tax on the sale, he's more likely to land around $600m to $700m (including previous income realized from Mojang). He's close to being a billionaire.
You realize it is walmart right? There is no bad word association. Any company the size of walmart, regardless of how you feel about their core business, is likely doing some cool things with technology.
