> Edit: my ECG knowledge is a bit rusty- 2 points of contact is enough to produce a single waveform reading...

Any just to clarify further... you'd need two points of contact that complete an electrical circuit. You couldn't just wear another watch.

You _could_ wear two watches and have a small wire that you use to connect them together when you want to check, but that's only going to give you Lead I, which is one of the less useful leads (and it's completely useless in isolation).

If you really wanted to get crazy, a watch on your right wrist connected to an anklet on your left ankle would give you Lead II, which could at least get you a look at the inferior aspect of the heart (and therefore the RCA).

But I'm just getting silly now... If you think you're having a heart attack, call an ambulance. They'll do a full 12 (or 15) lead ECG right in your bedroom.

It's nice to see someone who isn't on a hype-high over Bitcoin for a change. I still don't see why people think that a new unregulated currency would be somehow free of all the problems and abuses that prompted all the regulation of existing currencies in the first place - y'know, tax, fraud, customer protection, money laundering, market rigging, etc etc...
My interactions have generally been limited. Three or four traffic tickets, with a couple of warnings. An interview after I was held up at gunpoint, a conversation with a county cop who evaluated our townhouse for security. All, even the ones giving me tickets, were polite.

Maybe I should go back and get my heart checked. Last year I found out I had a silent heart attack at one point(had to do some physical for insurance first time I've went to the doctor in about 8+ years). I was 27 at the time. I do remember one time in college having sharp pain in my left arm and all the signs of a heart attack, at the time I was doing some PT for a class and the instructor thought I was playing around trying to get out of it.

Good luck on your recovery.

It's interesting to note that we essentially do the same with javascript in the browser, except the user doesn't even know there's some code that is automatically run.

The big difference, of course, being that javascript code runs in a sandboxed environment. Maybe we should create some kind of sandboxed sh ? (I actually hardly believe it will ever take on, seeing that so many sites tell you to run not `sh` but `sudo sh`... yeah, sure, why have unprivileged users, we should do everything as root anyway)
As everyday Americans, we simply do not have the power to directly influence other countries. The world does not operate as a border-less, humanistic, and unified entity. It is not a matter of protectionism and/or tribalism, but practicality. I don't believe it is very easy to influence politics outside of my state, let alone the country. IMO, comparing the plights of people across these 'imaginary borders' is of little help in this context.

I don't think this is accurate - though London might just be very different. I'm a 26 year old Australian C# developer that moved to London this year. In two weeks I had several job offers ranging from £50-57k.

Since then I've built up a network of connections and beefed up my skillset (spending more time with js frameworks such as Angular) and since received offers in the £65-70k mark. These were always "senior tech lead" positions, but they never seemed like real management jobs and I'd still spend the majority of the time writing software.

In the end I've jumped to contracting because the money is 2-3 times that of permanent roles and it was just too tempting. But the roles are there, especially in London - Ruby devs included.

"Appliance failure"

I converted from an old fashioned clothes washer to new high efficiency a couple years ago. No problem, but I suspect a big problem for the software devs is an old fashioned washer sounds like a modern direct drive just exploded and vice versa. I imagine that's quite a puzzler. Also when my water softener kicks in at the same time as the tankless hot water and the washer and the dryer and the furnace that must be an audio analysis puzzler to tease it all apart.

The washer biz likes to segment by UI, so a clothes dryer that tweets completion costs them an extra $20 to build but they sell it for an extra $1000 which I find highly unappealing, but if this thing is smart enough, it could short circuit that marketing driven profit center and send me a notice when my dryer finishes tumbling. Ditto clothes washer, dishwasher, maybe other things?
So I'm actually a fan of leaving dev tools installed and available in a normal user's web browser; whether it's IE, Chrome, FireFox, or whatever.

If a user is reporting some bug or issue that's difficult to reproduce, I like being able to just hit F12 _on their computer_ and diagnose and debug. Sometimes I can guide the user, sometimes I do it remotely.

Having the ability to debug software like that is phenomenal.

Hi Form engineers and Form finance department, you have my attention and desire to purchase this. Can you provide answers to the following questions:

1. How much will this cost to purchase?

2. Will their be a subscription fee?

3. How is the Point system installed, from the video it appeared to be a magnet?

4. When is the actual release timeline, so I can start figuring out where I can put this in my house or if I should simply Arduino / Pi / Grove a solution instead.

5. Why kickstarter, you appear to have the infrastructure (e.g. engineering, prototype, etc.) in place.
I don't see how this is less secure than downloading a program and running it. Or downloading some package that asks you to run an install script.

One part of the Firefox dev tools I find useful in every-day browsing is the ability to delete a DIV (or similar) element whenever something causes a bad layout or otherwise gets in the way.
I have no idea what Mozilla has been building, but I would guess building a browser from scratch with development in mind gives more possibilities than the most advanced extension for a browser. As long as the rendering engine remains the same as Firefox it wouldn't technically be a "different" browser, just a developer flavoured Firefox.

I think it's great that Mozilla is exploring new territories; it may or may not turn out to be a good idea, but give them the benefit of the doubt, at the end of the day no matter how good web developers tools currently are, without experimentation there would eventually be stagnation.

I still find it ironic that Mr. Dell told Apple to sell itself and give the money back to the shareholders back in 1997 and 15 years later Dell sells itself and gives the money back to its shareholders. Will it make a difference? I guess we will see.
There are a lot of things that can be said that toe the line between empty cliche and profound concepts.

Ultimately Dell & PC manufacturers have for the last 20-30 years been lucky enough to exist within a growth market. There's a requirement to innovated & such, but it's all bolstered by the fact that computing as a whole is growing. That's the reason why Dell was able to grow so fast and big early on.

cpks makes some good points about product lines and I think this is one of those places where cliche and substance can sail silently past each other. Dell's product lines are meaningless words and digits. It seems like they think of a new tablet as something that can compete in the 8" under $230 "segment." That's not just boring, it's either lazy or timid. They names are noncommittal barcodes because no one believes in this past the idea that some people might buy an 8" tablet for $230. If not, the might try a 7.5" @ $190.

Dell came to be because the process of buying parts and assembling them into a computer you can take home and plug in was fat. Small computer shops were doing it all the time. Dell did it at scale. For the time, it was a bold enough idea.Today it isn't. Dell need to figure out what Dell is for. Right now, I don't see a huge gain or loss in Dell going out of business beyond Dell employees and investors.
This is like a landing page for a startup - or idea. They first test the assumption that developers need/want this. If they are proven right, they will build it. In the next seven days. ;-)
That's a nice example! I always thought that it didn't make economic sense to pay people more money just so they could buy stuff from you. But just now I realized that it's actually possible.

Let's say you're selling cars for 100 dollars, and make 10 dollars in profit from each car sold. There's a lot of folks who have only 99 dollars and can't afford a car. If you give such a person one dollar, they will buy your car and you'll be 9 dollars richer.

Now, of course that's just a market segmentation scheme in disguise. If you could identify the folks who have 99 dollars and give them a 1 dollar discount instead, you'd profit even more, because they wouldn't be able to spend it on anything except buying a car from you. That's how companies do it today, they use employee discounts to get all the benefit of raised wages without actually raising wages.

Both. Why not save power by turning off the router while shrinking the amount of time there is to break into my Wi-Fi network? I can't see a reason to leave my network on while I'm out of my house. I don't need it and as far as I can tell, my neighbors don't either.

That said if someone needed to use Wi-Fi, I'd be happy to open a guest network for them (I think my router can do that but I haven't checked).
I don't display heart attack symptoms well perhaps due to a high tolerance for pain. That said symptoms include some sort of pain, chest (elephant sitting on chest), jaw, in my case a feeling like a baseball pressing into the hollow of my left shoulder. When it started my very first thought was "I am having a heart attack." Which is to say when you have a heart attack its distinct enough from anything else you ever felt on your body you probably recognize it as a heart attack. So don't worry, you will know when you have a heart attack as long as you don't slide into immediate denial. Another sign of a heart attack pain is the pain gets worse and one squirms to try to get away from it (like a leg cramp setting in type squirm)so as it gets worse you will definitely ask to be taken to a hospital unless you are utterly insane. For me it wasn't what I connote as "pain" which has a sense of sharpness to it, it was more like a pressure in an area that was very uncomfortable.

By the way your heart doesn't feel pain itself no nerves for that, which is why there are all these other spots that get reported as uncomfortable or painful because the body "finds someplace else" to express the problem. The other sign is the shortness of breath and gasping...this must be simply because your body is responding to the heart not getting oxygen past the artery blockage (downstream)and is trying to get more oxygen. Note also when you get that second stent they are blocking an artery to insert it so you get a chance to experience the heart attack feeling as per shortness of breath if you missed it the first time.

Ooof. If I'm reading that thread correctly, Linus wanted to leave in a bug that would probably allow a local attacker (or maybe even a remote attacker) to execute arbitrary code in the kernel, just to avoid the risk of breaking userland code that did questionable thing that happened to work before by fixing it.

I can and do regularly work with the mentally ill, but I'm not about to go recruiting amongst the homeless in hopes of finding a skilled software engineer.

"Reform the broken model" is a positive, actionable step in the same way that "Change the culture!" is a positive, actionable step. Which is to say it's a statement of a goal rather than anything immediately useful. But more "arguing about words", right?

You shouldn't cite the suicide rate without context. Following your link, SF is doing better than average in California.
No offence and I hope you get better, but what has this to do with programming?
Some of it is because it's a niche market. And then a lot of the people in the market don't care how hard it is for the installer to set it up.

"Why not aim for a larger market" has a little bit of an answer in that a system isn't worth much without monitoring, and for example, for much of the US, petty property crime isn't so pervasive that $500 seems like a smart trade.

VirtKick Federation – Free VPS for Open Source
> I know when I was a kid, I was smart enough for BASIC and Pascal but C++ just looked weird and complex and hard. HTML, CSS and Javascript were awesome and I jumped into that instead.

When I was a kid, C++ was easy and I didn't start learning javascript until a few years ago. I also learned TI-BASIC in AP Calc, and Java (CS II-Honors) was presented at my school as harder than C++ (CS I). A lot of what is labeled difficult is very very subjective. A coworker of mine stumbled over Intro to CS/Programming because he was stuck trying to understand how to program hello world without understanding how the compiler worked first. Without a teacher to talk to, this very intelligent student could be seen as one who can't even grasp 'the basics'. I stumbled over my programming languages class because I confused the machine interpretation of Scheme, while we developed a interpreter in Scheme. I'm still confused over it.

> What drives a divide is when you go build an entire ecosystem and hand it off to a cloistered priesthood.

It's not so much that it's handed off to, it's more that people aren't very vocal about what they don't understand. This leads sort of to a 'survival of the fittest' cycle of development, on a macro scale, with the people who have a direction, at all, making important decisions, and the people who are most cautious, staring blankly in confusion. The reality is that everyone is probably missing some part of what is considered 'the basics' to someone else.

A responsive community dedicated to bringing people into development is also what lowers the barrier to entry. Students that are so afraid of their teachers and the 'scary aesthetic' of the material raises the barrier to entry. If you have someone to ask "what does this symbol mean?" or "am I thinking in the right direction, or am I making this lesson more complex than it was intended to be?" then complex and hard become more approachable (not more simple, however). Sometimes having a person reply back, "I don't know" can actually help a lot.

When I was just learning to program, I was afraid to ask questions, to talk about what I knew or thought. I don't know if many young developers struggle with that today, given how much the landscape has changed. Then I wonder, has it changed so much, or did it just take me about 15 years to become comfortable in chaos?

Just some thoughts.
Also scalability. The designers would probably enjoy people with large houses buying 12 of these things for every room and level of the house, and if marketing says a battery will last 12 months you Know that means it'll really only last 6 months, maybe only 3 months, and six month battery life vs 12 gadgets means once the battery use randomizes I'll be tracking down and replacing a battery every two weeks which is too much peasant work. I don't mind capital improvement like running wires when I'm not busy but I do mind unscheduled peasant work when I'm busy.

If you "can't" put in a power jack (UL? EMI/EMC concerns? Cost?) then at least please manipulate the case design such that when I solder wires directly to the battery jacks then the case can still be closed, I don't have to drill extra cabling holes, etc. The easiest battery to convert is 9volts for obvious connector reasons, but they likely don't have the energy density you need.

I have 12 volts available thru the house so if you could uprate the on board caps and power circuitry to tolerate 12V in that would be nice. Likely your silicon will be fine, and you can't have a thermal issue if you think you're running for a year off any battery smaller than a forklift battery, so its just please solder in 25V caps on the input of the voltage reg instead of 6V caps. Then I can direct wire to the 12V rather than running thru a nice inefficient converter.

(edited to add, I have a marketing idea for the "runs off 12 volts" plan... RVs and boats have 12V and make the software smart enough to understand "animal noises" and send an alert.)

Then again if this is going to be one of those "$300" gadgets, I'm not buying one anyway. And I didn't see a price.

I can understand power concerns (though I think home routers use very little KWH), but frankly shutting your router off every day to prevent intrusions is bordering on tinfoil hat-level of concern.

If you shut off WPS on your router and use WPA2-CCMP with a good passphrase, there is really no concern of someone getting into your wireless network.
The deep insight is nearly dying doesn't necessarily lead to deep insights and perhaps one really has to 'die' and come back to get deep insights and maybe even that doesn't result in deep insights. The other deep insight is, "I didn't die this time and that's ok with me." Deep insight may seem mundane because its just living through proving the obvious things you already knew...might be a third insight. For me dying quickly anesthetized looked a lot better than dying slowly from cancer or in a car crash burning to death or a litany of other possibilities which I assumed was the case before but now I really believe.
There really isn't a developer shortage - just a shortage of developers willing to work for below market compensation.

>specific MAC addresses and make the access point invisible.

Both of these measures do nothing if any other device is currently connected to the wireless network. A passive attacker will still be able to see your access point (by inspecting packets sent over the air by other devices to the access point) and can spoof a MAC address to connect to it.
