You must have never used Google's cloud services. Docs, Drive, Hangouts, etc... Everything works device to device. Even a non-Google device that belongs to someone else. All you really need is Chrome and your credentials.

How about Google Cloud print? All you need is to have Chrome on the computer that hooks up to your printer, and you can print to that printer from any device, even remotely. I can be at school/work and print to my printer at home... And if you buy a printer with the feature enabled, it doesn't even need to be hooked up to anything (except some sort of internet connection).

And of course, Google Now. Tells me how far to work on the days I work. What the weather's like, even when I go out of town. Where my car is parked if I'm somewhere new. Where the restaurant I just called is located. Even the application on my phone that I use to call people (the one with a phone icon that used to just be for calling people) - I can search for their name and call them or, if it's a business or place I've never heard of, I can search for them in the same box, and it will find them and just call them. Super cool.

I'm sure your Apple ecosystem is just fine, and I'm sure it feels like magic compared to Microsoft's sludgery... Heck, Linux feels like magic compared to MS. But on the other side, Google's ecosystem is absolutely fantastic.

Oh yeah, and then there's Chromecast. But even without it most Smart TVs have some measure of compatibility with Google's ecosystem...
I have the exact same problem. Hopefully it gets resolved, this looks really helpful!
Exactly. Roller skating is fun.
I mean, you're not totally wrong... Fruits like strawberries prioritize the localization of their sugars towards the outside of the fruit -- where the seeds are (The opposite is true for thick-rinded fruits like melons). Whole-fruit sweetness/flavor though is more determined by the soil composition than the size of the fruit.

Very nice!

Could you add host-side configuration of an upper limit on video length, after which the remainder is automatically skipped? That would handle the case where someone (accidentally or otherwise) chooses an excessively long video (for instance, a version looped for several hours), to avoid the host having to manually skip it.

Related to that, you might consider letting the host designate a privileged client, so that the person running the party can hook that up to their phone to control skips and similar, without going directly to the party machine hooked up to the big screen and sound system. You might also offer options for consensus skips: "if more than N people want to skip a song...".

I like that if you fullscreen the video, it stays that way when a new video comes up; that makes this useful for more than just music. (Please do keep that working if you add non-YouTube support.) However, you might consider making a fullscreenable container that puts the video at almost-fullscreen, but still shows Playlistful and the party ID.

It looks like on the Playlist screen you replace the username with "You", even as a substring of the user's name: I tried it out with users "Foo", "Not Foo", and "Random", and when "Not Foo"'s song came up, Foo's Playlist screen showed it as "Chosen by Not You".

You might consider letting people add a YouTube playlist, or for that matter let users with a YouTube account choose from their favorited/liked/etc videos.
I am happy to hear that. While I certainly think ZFS is the best filesystem available for storing this kind of data, i would like to add a word of caution that ZFS is not a replacement for backups. I elaborated on this in one of the supplementary blog posts:

'For fun find a cyclist discussion somewhere where they complain about something like this and post a mildly worded suggestion and see what kind of response you get. I absolutely guarantee it won't be "yeah, you know what, maybe we should be observing traffic laws like we're supposed to"'

The East Bay Bicycle Coalition, at least, explicitly tells bikers to abide by the laws, and offers classes in (amongst other things) what those laws are. I fully agree that there are bicyclists that don't know what they're doing and ride unsafely, and I condemn that - as do a lot of other people I know who bike more regularly than I.
I'm going out with some friends, everyone brings in 10 € into the shared "wallet".. (1 guy has an old Nokia, the rest is shared between Android, iPhone and Windows Phone). One guy has no wallet and only has Apple pay .

Next time he goes out with them, he will have his wallet. To give back the money he borrowed from his friends.

When the above situation can be handled.. There is an option for a walletless life. Where i live (Belgium), this won't happen within the next 2 years

Nice! I like how your homepage is clutter-free. The music starting as soon as a track is added is also a nice touch.

How do you "fairly" pick between queued songs? Do you rotate through every user one song at a time, or is there a scoring system involved?

I made something similar, but with the music coming from deezer instead of youtube, if you want to check it out : http://poll.dance

Usually the FTC would not allow a company to acquire all competitors. Hell, plenty of drug companies have been forced to divest assets because they are acquiring a company that has a competitor.

What may have happened is a drug shortage. Generic companies run on razor thin margins and sometime stop manufacturing drugs that become unprofitable for them. If enough companies do that and you're left with only one manufacturer, price increases are typical.
True, I could implement it in terms of direct self-reference. At one point I used the "==" syntax for just that purpose:

\append==(\x\y x y \h\t [h; append t y])

Maybe I should resurrect that syntax option. :)

It was trivial to implement. When the parser sees the "==", it just automatically abstracts the symbol "append" from the definition and applies the fixpoint operator (Y combinator).

The only reason I eliminated "==" in the first place was that I was in the throes of using different syntaxes for lazy, eager, and self-referencing definitions. Now I've settled in on "=" always meaning eager evaluation, without exception. Then I got hyper-minimalist and said that's it, there's only one syntax for definitions, and it's "=", and if you want self-reference, use "@".

However, the decision to settle in on eager evaluation now frees up "==" once again as an option for self-reference. So I may bring that back.

Thanks for the food for thought.

Well if you shop at a mass market grocery store then you are probably getting the mass produced fruit.

But if you go to a farmers market or a fruit stand, changes are you are getting fruit from local farms. At least this is the case where I live.

Also there are tons of varieties of Strawberries perhaps the ones where you live are different. Fragaria vesca looks like a strain popular around Europe that looks very different from the American variety.

In theory, I think so:

> Each of the 308 million dots are smaller than a pixel on your computer screen at most zoom levels. Therefore, the "smudges" you see at the national and regional levels are actually aggregations of many individual dots. The dots themselves are only resolvable at the city and neighborhood zoom levels.

http://www.coopercenter.org/demographics/Racial-Dot-Map#thed...

However, it would depend if high levels of smudging max out the color intensity of a pixel. This could be solved with normalization, but I don't know if they did.
I've been using Siri for years and I get the trepidation, but it's really not awkward to do voice commands around people. In social situations, I look at it as simultaneously letting people around me know what I'm doing with the phone while I do it. Instead of saying "OK, let's see a movie. Here, I'll open Fandango and see what's playing around here." (or just pulling up the phone without telling them, which I'd regard as weirder, personally), I say "Yeah a movie sounds fun 'What movies are playing nearby?'" and we're immediately looking at movie times together. YMMV, but I find breaking eye contact for 15 seconds a lot more socially intrusive than a 2 second voice command.

I also find Siri works find with a low voice that nobody notices if I'm around people but not socializing (eg the open office). It just sounds like I'm taking a quick, quiet call at most.
Actually, I've had a Nexus 5 for the past 6 months, and I'm considering buying an iPhone 6 to replace it. I've never had an iPhone, so I'm curious to see how it compares to Android phones (my previous phones have been Samsung Galaxy S3, Nexus 4 and now Nexus 5).
Indians generally use Fahrenheit only for body temperature... to know if we're running a fever. But off-hand, I'd have no idea what an air temperature of 113 degrees Fahrenheit would feel like. I understand 45C quite easily. Surely you've seen weather reports and forecasts in Indian newspapers and on Indian TV. Did you ever see them use Fahrenheit?

For distances, a person's height is measured in feet and inches, tailors prefer to use inches for their dimensions, plots of land are often measured in feet. But everything else is metric. (Listen to the local farmer speak, in your own vimeo video link.) Speedometer, odometer, fuel, grocery, produce, etc. all use the metric system. To say nothing of my entirely-metric work in engineering.

I don't mind people using the term DPI. The part that confused me is that the OP is drawing a distinction between them.

In my mind DPI == "dots per inch", PPI == "pixels per inch", and they measure the same thing (although some people frown upon using DPI in a digital context). The author redefines them to mean "device pixels per inch" and "physical pixels per inch", where PPI / devicePixelRatio == DPI. I wasn't sure if that's an OP-thing or an iOS thing.

Re: "rather odd blank spots on a closely zoomed-in view"...

> The locations of the dots do not represent actual addresses. The most detailed geographic identifier in Census Bureau data is the census block. Individual dots are randomly located within a particular census block to match aggregate population totals for that block. As a result, dots in some census blocks may be located in the middle of parks, cemeteries, lakes, or other clearly non-residential areas within that census block. No greater geographic resolution for the 2010 Census data is publicly available (and for good reason).

Instead they should spend their life drawing on paper with crayons?

I'm not sure I hold this suggestion in that high a regard. It's odd that some of the most highly intelligent people around enjoy consumption of 2 dimensional art forms - graphic novels, comics, xkcd. So I'm not entirely sure that I can see how 2D screens would affect their abilities... and honestly, I didn't even make it out of 1 dimension. Comics never really did it for me. I never really graduated from regular words on a page, maybe a couple of pictures or diagrams thrown in :P

That said, there are some great educational shows on TV that I don't mind them watching every waking moment if they decide they want to (How It's Made, Mythbusters etc.) It's the mindless rubbish (and the advertising!!) that seems to cast a spell on them that I object to.
Super handy. Nice work.
Thanks a lot! Yes, the ability to either stop long songs getting added, or to skip the end of them is the next thing I'm going to add. The first test run I did, inevitably, someone added 10 hours of trololol man straight away.

Your second point is a good idea, I had considered having a pop up that is visible for a few seconds, or maybe even the whole song, but that sounds like it might be better.

Also, thanks for the heads up, yeah it's just a s/$name/you/ replace. I'll look into that. Thanks

> “We tell people to take a vacation, and we pay them,” he said. That way, if it does not work out, “you have one less week of vacation, but the next time you take a vacation it can be a nicer one.”

If I had 7 weeks vacation, maybe. Much less that you can basically only do a trial like this once a year, but spending half of your two weeks vacation a year might be worth a lot more than money.
I don't know about you, but I can't bring myself to punch my ID into a random website.
I can't recall the exact detail from memory, but I believe #1 has to do with the fact that zfs creates/clones/snapshots/etc are done in "syncing" context. Thus, each command has to wait for a full pool sync to complete, limiting the rate at which these can be done.

This is a known problem, and likely to be fixed in the not too distant future.
I'm glad that strategy worked out for you. We might try it again at some point. But, evidence so far has shown that our children do not get of bored of playing on the IPad. At all. We could reduce the number of games available on the device, that might help. Also, the fact that the device has Netflix might be a part of the allure - when one digital activity becomes boring, they switch to another.

Thank you for you comment, I realize perhaps the device itself is not the problem but the number of available content.
Oversight by who?
Velocity would like to introduce you to the latest addition to the program; the Velocity Foundry. Launched this summer, the Foundry is a free co-working space designed to offer students and alumni the equipment, network, and mentorship vital to establish their hardware, materials or life sciences startups - all within a grassroots community. Rooted in the heart of downtown Kitchener, the 11,000 square foot space houses over 20 startups and we’ve documented the dynamic environment to give you a feel of what it’s like to be part of Velocity Foundry.

The Foundry has been a lively expansion to Velocity, and we are happy to formally celebrate this milestone with a Ribbon Cutting event this Friday, September 12th, at the official Velocity Foundry Launch.

> Many devs will ignore the DPI differences between the iPad and the iPad mini, but that isn't ideal.

Most developers do ignore this, and Apple encourages ignoring it. Incidentally, this is why tap target sizes (button sizes and such) are a bit bigger on a full-sized iPad than on an iPhone; to allow for the scale-down.
That's an interesting clarification but I'm not sure it changes much.

After all, a 1000 year calendar is impressive, but who really has ever gone, "hold on is it the 20th century or the 21st"? That might have been an issue for a few of us who were a bit drunk on New Year's Eve 14 years ago but it's not going to be a problem again for at least 86 years.

I still think a $2.7m dollar watch has one purpose - to allow the owner to say they have a $2.7m watch.

I should point out, I'm not against expensive, mechanical watches (I own one and love it), I just think there are limits and for me they probably kick in around the point a sixth digit gets added to the price.
I just thought I'd compare this with information from the NHS on Penicillamine.

"Penicillamine 125mg or 250mg tablets. Cost per 28 days treatment for 500mg or 750mg/day: £9.96-
£14.94." - https://www.newdevonccg.nhs.uk/file/?rid=101735&download=tru...

edit - this is the dosage for arthritis and works out to £180, or around $290 per year. I don't know the dosage for Wilson's disease, but I am guessing it is unlikely to be several hundred times larger.

I've setup btrfs on software mdraid (raid 6) as a backup system (not the only backup!). You still get the checksums and snapshotting, but not the flexibility of the btrfs raid system. It has the advantage of being easy to grow, unlike zfs, which can't be resized once created. We've encountered no problems, even though it has been running for around three years of rsyncing and snapshotting.
I have no knowledge of who runs the industry, but assuming it's perfectly safe - I'm not looking for an advantage. I'm talking about a social enterprise that disguises itself as a sleazy payday loan place, same kind of branding and everything but with more favourable terms for the customer.

I'm guessing geographical location is the biggest factor in influencing their 'choice' of payday loan shop to use, so it would be a matter of taking advantage of that decision fatigue to help them without them realizing it.
