Oh come on. You know what he's trying to say, you're just saying he's making an over-generalization and that he's wrong. If you want to say that, say it. Don't pretend like it's so incomprehensible you can't parse the sentence.
Interesting. They wrote a blog post about security and phishing just 5 days ago. I wonder if they already knew about the hack at this time?

I also wonder if this effort was spurred by Snowden's criticism of their system?
What if the guy created accounts so that people can check those are "real" and collect free bitcoins? Picking similar emails is to try to trick us into believing that he has 7 million of those.
After working for some time on angular project, I got a conspiracy theory: Google bought this company and threw angularjs to masses so they get all excited and spin wheels reimplementing stuff already done elsewhere, while Google will keep building products :)

I am joking of course, but each joke always have part of truth in it..

@userbinator I'm Marcus from Geek Ammo (the designers of the MicroView). Our mission, like SparkFun’s is to make electronics accessible to anyone.

I carefully chose the price.

I previously founded Ninja Blocks (ninjablocks.com) and one of the things I learned was that when you price a product too low it is impossible to get distributors. This is what happened with the original Ninja Block.

This time round I wanted the MicroView to be available through SparkFun’s amazing distributor channel, so anyone around the world could get a MicroView locally.
The way you're using thermodynamics to support your point is wrong, you are asserting that the human body is a closed system, which of course it is not. A human will absorb and excrete carbohydrates,fats and proteins at differing rates depending on a bunch of factors. To simplify the human metabolic process down to a simple (in)-(energy burned)= zero equation is completely false, as again, the body is not a closed system.
[missing reference] I see this thrown around often, but have never found any references which take into account the trade balances, respective debts, tax contributions, etc.
Your tech bias is showing. Gmail is huge amongst techies and the young, but Hotmail and Yahoo are still very, very big e-mail providers.
You mean like last Friday (closed for training) and yesterday (closed for Columbus Day)? Well, one thing I don't do during those days is read hacker news (sorry for the delay getting back to you).

I take full advantage of my flexibility. When the kids are off, I take the day off too. My wife's vacation days are limited & tracked, mine aren't, so I'm the first backup when daycare is closed. Not always the best for work, but I do really enjoy those days. Friday was a blast - I made breakfast for the kids, we hit the park, met my wife for lunch, I sped through some work while the kids napped, and then we had an encore park visit.

Looking back over your list of skills, you cover a lot of different technologies. I think it might be wise to pick something to be known for and run with it. Don't leave it up to your future customers to figure out what they can use you for because they will never figure it out.
Show me a video of that half-hour conference presentation, and it takes me half an hour. Give me a well-written report with the same ideas, and I'm done in ten minutes, and understand the ideas at least as well as if I had watched the video.
I'm happy to take the criticism for the overall documentation. However I believe JP did a great job with the library's doco.

Please show me an Arduino library with more documentation than: http://learn.microview.io/doco/html/index.html
Depends how strong of patents they can get for the tech, I reckon. I highly doubt it's so revolutionary that it could be easily reverse engineered.
Yeah, this got me thinking. Pricing at $40 also meant that we were able to recover from our Snafu (https://www.sparkfun.com/news/1575), and provide everybody affected with 2x MicroViews.
When you have work to do, doing a small part of it right is better than finishing all of it wrong.
As the co-author of "The New I Do: Reshaping Marriage for Skeptics, Realists and Rebels" (Seal Press, Sept. 28) I find the post and the following comments intriguing. Correlation is not causation, and sociologist Philip Cohen has done a fine job of pointing out the difference with similar findings reported by the National Marriage Project (http://familyinequality.wordpress.com/2014/08/27/my-rejectio...).

I love what Scott Burson says, "Your marriage will be what you make it." Amen! A marriage license doesn't dictate how you set up your marriage. It doesn't require that the couples live together, have kids or not, be monogamous, etc. That is up to the couple to decide and in truth, we don't all marry for the same reasons. The license grants you more than 1,000 government perks (and why the government gives those out based on a person's love life is a curious thing) and marriage still matters to many of us, otherwise you wouldn't see the push by same-sex couples to be treated equally.

Our book offers seven alt models that couples have already chosen to break free of the one-size-fits-all, until death-do-us-part traditional model, which doesn't work anymore. We no longer marry for the same reasons that marriage was created. Time for new models that set up couples for success by how they define success, not just longevity.

If this is the case, how can it have depreciated down to $0? I feel like I missed a key concept somewhere. With all the functionality of a new lathe, it must be worth something over the value of its materials as scrap... right?
Communication is absolutely the killer app for these technologies. You lose SO much from staring at people through a screen, if you could trick your Amygdala into believing a far away person is real and in front of you it would be an astounding leap with massive benefits and implications across everything humans do.
Yeah some of the quotes really raised my bogometer.
> Text is great but images conveying the same meaning are always better.

This is clearly false, and makes me think you didn't read the article, since the article provides a counterexample right near the beginning; try to express this in an image: "Human rights are moral principles or norms that describe certain standards of human behaviour, and are regularly protected as legal rights in national and international law."

Of course nobody's proposing we abandon images; they're indispensable for many things, like the conference slides you mention. But if I had to do a presentation and was forced to choose between only text and only non-text images, I think the best choice would be clear.
Grab the torrent of the list w/ passwords.

I will say that the passwords are usually very old, grabbed from some forums, and have probably been out in the wild for a while. So basically, as long as you don't use the same password everywhere for years, you're probably fine.
I agree that text is undervalued in our current media happy era; I say this as someone who uses terminal applications as much as possible (email, twitter, accounting, programming, etc. - I secretly pray for a return of the text only internet)

On the other hand, there are things that pictures can convey in ways that plain text couldn't approximate.

To link to a famous example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Minard.png

Just looking at this, in half a minute or so, you get a pretty good idea of the quantities involved, how they evolved over time, how they are linked together, etc. Conveying the same information with pure text would be much more lengthy.

I'm not going to make an entire case for this right here - just read Edward Tufte's books if you aren't too familiar with those ideas.
Even when you have a more formal "run" primitive, you still want a lot of inheritance; file handles (console programs and redirection), security identity and authorizations, current working directory.

There's also the matter of API complexity. If you want to configure the context in which a program runs, there are roughly two different API approaches you can take. You can deeply parameterize the 'run' command, or you can configure the "current" process and then hand that off to the new process. But you usually need the second API (configuring the current process) anyway.

So I don't see fork(), per se, as a particularly crufty API. Slightly more configurability, like clone() or Plan 9 is better.

Multi-threaded signals are pretty dreadful, though. In a multi-threaded system, signals should be delivered on a separate thread, not via an existing thread getting hijacked.
I liked the article, but in retrospect I'm not clear what it's arguing against. What are the technologies that people have promoted to the author but are trumped by text? I feel like there's an interesting story there.
VC-istan 8: the Damaso Effect
This tech certainly has a long way to go. I managed to use a prototype of the light field tech at gtc back to back with the oculus dk2. It's certainly cool research, but don't get the impression the light field protypes are offering a vr experience anywhere near what oculus has offered with any of their hardware.
This story has the best and worst of the current SV environment in one.

This isn't a Silicon Valley project. This project is in South Florida, the scam capital of North America.

This is a great argument for text over icons in design. I wonder if in 250 years people will still know what the 3 bars (hamburger?) icon did.
That's a completely different point than the one you made originally. If you want to avoid being misunderstood, then make the point you actually intend - "a C++ replacement must function as C++ does" instead of the one you claim - "understanding C++ is the first step in replacing C++"
I'd rather see a fixed tab on the left or right that was less intrusive that allowed you to open a modal or slide in the video div. I do understand the video is the focal point and the ratio of any video is important to show something non-squished, I've been there, but as others on laptops and netbooks have mentioned the video div takes up nearly 45% of the vertical spacing and it's distracting as you get your bearings figuring out what's on the page. Perhaps the video should be nearly above the fold and it remains fixed once you get to it, until the next informational section similar to a table header? I live for solving these types of problems and it's a shame I don't run into them more in my work -- and at no time am I saying I have all of the answers.

Edit: I like what you are doing on mobile since you are hamstrung without many options, maybe on iPad portrait and wider you could go for a 2 column approach with the video on the left in a "sidebar" and the text flowing on the right? Again, just an idea. At any rate what you have is fine and gets the point across and I'm just being picky!
Mass-distance, sure. Time starts becoming a metric of the quality and vintage of the elevators involved, and not of the capacity.
No, you're mistaken, and hga is right. Don't confuse incremental with generational! The MIT CADRs had incremental, non-generational collectors, before the 3600s ever came out. My recollection is that the 3600s had generational GC sometime in 1983-84; I'm not certain of this but I don't think it was much later.

> But you always had to GC; you couldn't just exit a program.

You could certainly reboot anytime you wanted. That may or may not have been a sensible thing to do, given what you were doing, but it was certainly possible. Given a choice between a full GC vs. saving your work and reloading it after the reboot, the latter was usually preferable.

It's true that you couldn't free the heap space of one application independently of the rest of the system.

I assume you mean in regards to employees posting internal information? A lot of people at Facebook have read both my articles so I feel there's been at least some light discussion about it. Whether or not it goes further than that, well, we'll see in about a year's time. :-)
Is the what's up thing correct?
When you have the numbers of people WhatsApp has, you can't remove features (b/c 0.1% = millions of people)

I recall WA made many efforts to support multiple platforms, etc. but not sure how far to take this comment.. (i.e. Facebook does it, Google does it, etc)
Yeah. I'm still not sold either.

To add to your examples, Google claims resource sharding is bad and complex and "hacky", and criticize this for possibly breaking client-side caching and invalidating HTTP proxy support.

Then they move on to show how "wonderful" server-push is with the example of a request for index.html also pushing index.js and index.css, two files almost guaranteed to be cached more than 99% of the time. As if that doesn't break caching.

So you have a possibly hacky thing you may do which may break something, which is bad. And then you have a new protocol feature causing the exact same problem. And that is good. Hey Google: Make up your mind, already!

Yeah. Not sold at all. HTTP 2.0 is a terrible protocol, and not because it doesn't do enough, but because it does too much. It attempts to solve problems not belonging to the application layer.

HTTP 1.x was a nice, simple, stateless text-mode protocol. This thing is a terrible, state-full, impossible-to-debug Rube Goldberg machine and has nothing in common with that simple and nice protocol whose name it attempts to piggyback on.

Type in your email address, you'll get the first two letters of the known password back. It should help to track down which service the password came from.

Will Boom Lead to Bust in Silicon Valley?
Have you seen React.js (http://facebook.github.io/react/) and Mithril (http://lhorie.github.io/mithril/)? They're supposedly smaller, faster, and easier than Angular, and does roughly the same things, as far as I've read. And they support server side rendering. At least React does.
Distributed is often much more difficult to scale than centralized esp because you n^2 messages for the system to reach consensus.

Distributed tends to produce higher availability than centralized systems and often that is worth the cost.

When I visited some smaller Spanish towns and villages, I was struck by how abrupt the border between the town / village and the surrounding agricultural land was. People would be living cheek by jowl, in terraced houses, with their cars parked almost inside the houses, in alcoves built into the house, often with a gate.

And this in the countryside, where one would think space would not be at a premium. This article explains a lot.

Regarding your second sentence, who says that would be a bad thing? I'm a little confused about the situation you're describing. Most analysis of voting systems I've seen isn't concerned with the fact that valid candidates may be left off the ballot. That's obviously an important consideration in real elections, and if there are primary elections the choice of voting system there obviously matters, but in the final election it doesn't seem particularly relevant.

It's not just about conveying the information. That's only one dimension in which value can be measured. Size, exactness, and ease of automatic manipulation are others.
I think the confusion may come from the Spanish version of the word. "Americano" and "American" seem to carry different connotations. See: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uso_de_la_palabra_americano
or
http://hispanismo.org/hispanoamerica/13746-usamerica-y-usame...

for more details.

Of course Natural language is ambiguous. It's also evolving and reflects attitudes, values and culture. It seems "American" == "US Citizen" has solidified, although the discussion was still going 60 years ago( http://www.jstor.org/discover/10.2307/486658?uid=3739920&uid...
).

Our experiences talking to Latin Americans probably differ because of language. I have lived in Latin America, as a native Spanish speaker (which may have made it easier for Latin Americans to communicate their musings on identity, US-centrism and language).

The USA uses the name of the continent to name its citizens (As if French said ... "We're Europeans, and the Germans? Bah, they are only German, they can't really call themselves Europeans ... everybody knows that real Europeans are French). In any case, it seems your use of the word is the accepted meaning in English, so I stand corrected. But for your information, this is not the case in Spanish.
I think nondeterminism is fairly reasonable in a cyclical Smith set. In fact, I think nondeterminism in voting systems has a worse reputation than it deserves.
Can you send me a details - krawwwler@gmail.com
It's clearly possible. C++ lacks pattern matching, for instance. Whether adding any given feature is advisable is another question...

Losing weight while consuming more calories than you use is simple: surgically remove something. Arms and legs will do, but removing fat is more popular.

A diet that manages to get half your fat cells to die off would be magical (and probably dangerous).
I read this with interest as I'm a founder of another CMS - http://grabaperch.com - that I guess is a competitor (although we're PHP & MySQL).

We launched in 2009, and have always been licensed on a commercial basis. This means that we've been able to bundle top notch support in with license fees, and continue to develop the product based on user feedback. I really love the idea of things being open source and there are definite benefits of being so, but in reality it is very hard to make that model pay.

Instead we've gone for the paid license route, meaning that we could - when we were also doing client work - ensure that Perch was a "first class citizen" and not abandoned for stretches while we chased client projects. As the customer base grew, we could dedicate more time to it.

It's still a tough business to be in, but we've carved out a bit of a niche in it. We aim squarely at small design agencies and freelancers who are rapidly building smallish sites for clients. They buy multiple licenses per month and know that we're around to support them and also that we listen and consider features that they need.
I agree, the wikipedia example is especially strained, sure you can not represent that sentence clearly in picture, but can you represent Mona Lisa or Beethoven's 5th in text? Different types of representations are used for different things, sometimes they overlap and one is more efficient than the other and yes text has been pretty useful.
This is why Snapchat is a chat, in addition to being a snap.

The things you describe, unlike Firefox and the web frameworks Mozilla develops, require servers. Servers are expensive, even with the current low cost-end users ratio of cloud servers.

I think few people will agree that it is within your "basic rights" to demand someone else store, munge, and beautifully surface your data at their expense.

What is your issue with Dropbox, Facebook, etc? If it's privacy, roll your own server. There are plenty of projects to provide Google Docs/Drive functionality on your own server. Normal office suites also work just fine. Dropbox is basically glorified rsync. Ello, App.net, etc cater to the privacy conscious social networker.
