I think something like a built-in 'back' function for previously visited annotations would be very useful instead of having to press back on the browser. Perhaps even a whole listing of annotations that you visited before.

Either way, I would like to agree with JohnBooty in that this has amazing potential. Great work!

I'm no expert, but I don't think so yet. At the minute it seems that pretty much all the money is coming from large, well financed entities - venture capital firms and large corporations such as facebook and google. These are large firms who are much not so much subject to emotional impulse and more focused on growth and the bottom line. They are playing a strategic game.

Very little of this is coming from an overly hyped up general populace. The NASDAQ is increasing, but it is a fairly slow steady increase compared to the other indices - nothing like the crazy rocketing we saw in 1999. There are few IPO's and they are mostly of relatively stable and profitable companies.

The thing which I always see missing from these descriptions is the persons other half.

The usual logic runs - from 8am to 6pm I'm at work. From 6pm to 8.30pm I'm dad (or mum but realistically it's usually Dad). Once the kids are back in bed I get back on to e-mail, catch up with what I've missed and start planning the next day.

That's great - you've covered work and your kids/family as a whole, but where are you fitting in time just as a couple? I'm not talking about weekends away or big nights out (though those are tough enough), I'm talking about just fitting in time to talk and catch up and remember why (and indeed that) you like each other.

For me that's the toughest one. You or your other half can find time on your own - that's easy, the other one takes the kids. Time as a family is always a default for any spare time because guilt drives you towards your kids. The tough one is time as a couple because it's the one that by default comes after everything else and is therefore the first one to get squeezed.
Yes, we have arrived. I have become more and more interested in Huxley over the last few years as I have become more and more aware that we have become something like what he described.

This isn't the case with every WebGL demo, only animations need to continuously render. For example WebGL apps that change view only when camera position changes do not require to continuously invoke the render loop and often can have low CPU requirements.
It depends I think. There isn't any built-in reason why WebGL code would drain batteries faster then a similar native-code demo. WebGL has to do a bit more validation on the CPU which may contribute a bit. But other then that most demos should be very light on the CPU side, so the difference between JS and native code wouldn't be an issue. However, many WebGL demos move a lot of work to the GPU (especially the shadertoy demos, which render the entire scene in a single fullscreen quad and have absurdly complex pixel shaders), epecially in fullscreen mode these would suck your battery dry very quickly.

On my fairly old MBP, all fullscreen 3D apps (also native games) kick the fan into high gear immediately and the bottom gets warm very quickly, while most "reasonable" WebGL demos don't have this effect (e.g. some of the lighter ones from here: http://alteredqualia.com/)

I think the best argument against swift is the plethora of knowledge, tutorials, stackoverflow answers there is for objective-c. When I started learning Unity in 2009, I wanted to use C#. Yet 90 % of all the tutorials, docs, etc.. was in javascript at the time. As I was fairly new to programming then, translating from javascript to C# slowed me down. In hindsight, if I just used javascript I would've progressed much quicker than I did. I think the situation within a year will be different, the iOS community is producing swift tutorials en masse. But I would advice you to start with objective-c.

The best iOS material is:
- Objective-C programming book from big nerd ranch or Programming in Objective-C from Stephen G. Kochan (more in-depth)
- cs193p from Stanford (iTunesU) iOS 7 course is objective-c. iOS 8 course (starting in 2015) will be swift.

After cs193p you should know enough to make apps.
If you want to be a great iOS developer, you should also learn:
- ios / cocoa design patterns
- cocoapods | git
- visit http://nshipster.com
- visit http://objc.io
- Learn from other apps source code: http://maniacdev.com/2010/06/35-open-source-iphone-app-store...

I have a friend who's about 60 here in the US. He doesn't have to work cause he's all set but he wants to. He's brilliant. Has wide ranging experience but, if he's not used your tech in the past, I guarantee he'll pick it up quick.

If you ever had eye surgery or used a vending machine, you've probably used his equipment. You've probably visited a couple of web sites he created for large companies. He's worked on Hollywood movies and you can see his face in some of them. I would almost go as far as say he's the most interesting man in the world.

Over the past year, he's gotten zero replies to any of the resumes he's sent out. Two companies complained they needed their sites updated and managed in their want ad yet, today, those same sites have changed little and are still awful.

Yet, I look out my home office window and see him working in his garden this morning.
First, congratulations.

IMO "the diet that works" can be anything. For some people it actually can be to eat anything they want, but at specific times of the day (and because for instance, they don't actually want to eat that much, it's just a matter of setting limits or not).
I don't believe in a diet working for everyone, I think it's complicated, especially as it can affect a lot of other things in your everyday life, and whatever works for someone is fine.

It'd be nice if freelance tech folks could pool their resources and get group health-care rates... but I'm not sure if a full-on union would be needed for that.
I am not so sure why you think this is bizarre. In an ideal world TCP is reliable, HTTP assumes it runs on reliable transport so it doesn't do any more integrity checking.

In the real world there are bugs in TCP stacks and in HTTP implementations that cause HTTP traffic to get corrupted. I see this every day. Some applications do implement extra checking, most applications do not. Browsers and wget and curl can't implement any extra checking because the way you check is application specific. There is no standard way to do it; what you mention there is an esoteric feature.

Just for anecdotal fun, Logic Pro tries to download over 50GB of assets over HTTP (each individual file is many-GB). It has never worked for me over any of my networks (and in fact I wrote a tool to fix this).
I think the author of previous comment meant that changes need to persistent, not transient. One can't just stop taking heroin for few months to improve their health and then go back using it again. Same with food - if you want your weight to stick, you need to adhere to your diet permanently and don't start eating junk food once you hit your target weight.
>Remember: These valuations aren't for what a company is currently worth. Otherwise, there's no point to investment. They valuations are for where they see the company going, and more probably, growing past.

At some level though, it HAS to be a simple matter of calories in vs. calories out. I will bet a large sum of money that if you literally give an obese person ONLY water and necessary vitamins for 3 months that they'll lose weight. You'll never find somebody who hasn't eaten anything for a month and is maintaining their weight.

Sure it's an extreme case, meant only as a thought experiment, but it's obvious that 0 calories in and non-zero calories out absolutely MUST mean weight loss. What are the alternatives?

Here's the thing... I'm willing to change my mind. Totally willing. Here's what it will take: Show me a person who is overweight and goes on a VERY strict, almost laboratory controlled diet for 6 months. Everything strictly regimented and monitored. If that person simply cannot lose weight then fine, Gary Taubes wins.
> Aside: I am intentionally sticking with U. S. customary units of pounds, miles, etc., to be consistent with much of the related literature.

Add to that the ridiculous habit of shortening "kilocalorie" to "calorie" when talking to humble folk without temptation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calorie (yeah, the wikipedia article makes it even more ridiculous with its "small"/"large" calorie language, somewhat in the vein of "up goer five").

I feel the opposite. I am a self-taught full stack programmer and yet I wish I had some sort of degree to pursue research as a career.
I would rephrase his statement as:

You lose weight by having a good plan and taking consistent action to follow it. You achieve success the same way.

I honestly believe that the problem with people who work really hard and never achieve success is that they didn't formulate a good plan. You can be the fastest runner in the world but you're never going to win a race if you run in the wrong direction.

>>There is instant regret, but that is after eating.

Yes and this is symptom of addiction. From that you can see that advice of "eat less" or "count calories" is as useful as "don't take anymore heroin".
The only useful advice is about how to change your lifestyle/eating habits to be able to eat less not that you should eat less in the first place.

Think about it like an athletic coach, do you tell the sprinter that he should run faster and count seconds or do you tell him what drills to do to actually become faster ?
"Count calories" is the same as "just run faster and count seconds".
Looks like it!

They have a choice on the HP of showing stuff I might not know I want, i.e., less related to my history, or stuff I probably do want, i.e., related to my history. They are prioritizing /less than before/ the stuff related to my history. This is actually a shift in the direction of some of their competitors (if you can call them that), and has never been Amazon's style. It's a shift.
If anything, the upside is that if we come up with better techniques for detecting unwated content we'll free these people for more productive endeavours.

Yes, they do happen. Not as often as 20 years ago, but they still happen. Personally I can't download more than about 1GB without an error. If you use bittorrent you might want to look in the logs to see how often it re-downloads blocks because the block it just downloaded has been corrupted. You might be surprised.

I don't know the root cause in general, but for me the most common cause has been bugs in the TCP/IP stacks of cheap home routers.
awesome! I wish I saw these earlier.. however the idea of "hosting" is really interesting, and that's what everyone who uses it gets excited about..

The name is perfect and I do not see myself changing it. The fact that so many people misunderstand makes it better.

Self Marketing. Age is definitely a road block, it might be worse in spain, but it happens everywhere else.

The thing is that if you provide nothing for potential employers to see, then all they would see is resume and eventually your age. Make him get out there, make friends, build connections, show case what he has done online, get potential employers to see past his resume and age. When you provide nothing for them to see, they'll see what's in front of them. That is an older man trying to live in a young man's world.

When you are an older developer, it'll definitely take more work to get hired. You have to do more to stand out. Just sending out resumes isn't gonna do much good in this day and age. Your connections is what going to get you hired. It's true in Spain, London, EU, Asia and everywhere else.

It's not semantics in the sense that we're quibbling over the definition of words. Your point can be even more definitive. Gamergaters are claiming something that is not true.

"Furthermore, as much as there are local law issues in places like NYC against them, I don't anticipate those lasting long or having a large effect on their revenues."

If this is true, it will also apply to their competitors, right? Either the prices of Marriott will fall if/when they stop charging some crazy-expensive taxes on their guests, or AirBnb will have to start paying/charging for those taxes. One way or another, it'll change. Right now, one of AirBnb's advantages is that they are ignoring zoning restrictions and the like; either those restrictions will go away or they'll have to play by those rules.

To me, the biggest thing AirBnb has going for them is that they are choosing to play fast-and-loose with the laws, and hoping that they can grow fast enough to change them (similar to Uber). That gives them a huge advantage against the established businesses who have to play by the rules. Marriott can't just say "we're going to build a giant hotel in this area that isn't zoned for it", but AirBnb can hide behind its hosts because presumably they hold all the liability.

I imagine there will be some pushback at some point where AirBnb presumably makes most of their money: in big metropolitan areas. In Boston, where I'm at, these are generally illegal/against rental policies. People tend to look the other way for now, but at some point it might become a bigger issue. For me, personally, when I was setting up my condo association, myself & the other owners specifically wrote it into our documents that AirBnb and short-term-rentals are NOT allowed without prior authorization.

On a separate note, I wonder what percentage of the hotel revenue is business travel. I know in companies I've worked for in the past, they had some pretty good deals set up with hotel chains, so no matter where you traveled, you stayed at whatever the preferred chain was.

A coworker is doing a project in New Zealand and he loves it. It seems like the overall work environment in New Zealand is pretty good. When he told me the office didn't have free coffee a thought it was terrible. Until he explained you actually have time to take 15 minutes and go and buy a cup of coffee and take an actual "coffee break" a few times a day. That's kind of rare in the US. We usually get free coffee and enough time to walk over to the machine and back to your desk.

Well, in a way software doesn't seem to get a lot faster because now they're loaded with many more features in order to take advantage of the new pieces of hardware that have been appearing over the years, and I'm OK with that. I'd rather have a not-so-fast computer with useful features than a Flash-like machine that only works for the same things we used computers for in 1986.

However, I do agree on the fact that the experience must be changed, you can't help but feeling that everything you go through in today's computing (particularly desktop computing) seems dated. But then again, I'm not a technical guy either and posing a problem is a hell of a lot easier that fixing it, almost every time.

Oh, well. I guess I'll have to do with the fact that I can communicate with you at the speed of light. For now.

You can't get it over SSL. Not to worry, the binary will be signed by Mozilla right? Yeah, GPG only. Not x.509 signed.

But hey, the online install page supplies it over SSL right? Well, sometimes. But it turns out they don't enforce SSL use. Cue SSLstrip.

PS On MacOS X 10.9 Apple by default prevents running unsigned binaries. Not to worry, Mozilla tells you how to bypass the check, not even hinting it has a very valid purpose.

Well, for several centuries, to be a scholar you had to be a priest or monk. There were no educational institutions who could pay you money, and support from rulers (as well as rulers themselves) could come and go on a whim. So if you wanted a "career" in research (i.e. you were a smart and curious fellow who could read) the Church was your only choice.

This, of course, gave the Church the power to set the cultural and research agenda, and many bad decisions were taken with that power (as well as many good ones, of course), hence the "obscurantist" label. Also, burning one at the stake when you disagree with his theory of the universe is a bit harsh, you'll agree.
This service may be useful to security companies and security researchers or analysts, and for them it shouldn't be hard to get this type of data.

A better service would be to embed somehow honeypots into the client's infrastructure and deduce customized actions in a mostly automated, semi-supervised way.

The problem with security logs (and logs in general) is that they are hard to take specific actions on. I don't even recommend installing an IDS like Snort to most people; you see lots of automated intrusion attempts, almost all just fishing for a vulnerability in an application that you don't even have , now what, are you going to dedicate someone to go through them and see if the infrastructure is vulnerable to them?
