There was some server company I can't remember the name of right now (bare metal or something?)that offered roughly rasppi sized servers for rent from them- they weren't offering it yet, but they said you should be able to buy them within a year or so from them.

Also, don't forget that USB is just another serial protocol, if it wasn't USB it would just be some other serial protocol. It may not be the best option, but with stuff like the rasspi I imagine price is a bigger concern.

Counter-point: The RIAA would so love to eliminate the human element from the process. As in, the most profitable artists are the dead ones. If you've read about hit-machine-in-human-form Max Martin, then you're aware the guy is a total obsessive with an approach (balanced lines, best vocal lines, etc) and if he could be in charge of a fake-singer by way of programming, then I think he'd be unstoppable.

when the first iPhone was announced, I couldn't help but think of an emergency use case where I could dial 911 on my old nokia even while it is switched off. Now I have to switch on my phone, unlock, open phone app, dialer and then 911. A total of 4 additional steps.

Was this addressed in some way that I am not aware of?

+1 thanks, I just bought "The kingdom of God is Within You" for a dollar (kindle version). I am into spirituality, not religion. Reading your summary of Tolstoy's philosophy and the comments on amazon convinced me to move this to the top of my reading list.

A little off topic: I agree with Tolstoy that love is the foundation for what society should be, and I beieve that there is much more love, cooperation, and people doing good things in the word than anyone would imagine after exposing themselves to corporate news media.

I'm thinking of something a little more full-service than that. There are a number of small contract dev shops that will do end-to-end product development. I've had fully designed apps churned out in as little as 6 weeks for under $50k, and they handled design, project management, QA, requirements gathering, etc.

The problem is that you have to find companies like this, and they tend to be small because the model doesn't scale past a certain point -- once you expand past a few teams, it becomes very difficult to control quality. Customers get upset and refuse to pay, which causes a cash flow problem. The best way to keep your accounts receivable aging down is to do quality work consistently, and the best way to have consistent quality is to keep your scale of control small.

This is not a business model that lends itself to VC well.
this just made my day :-D
It is weird because it is present in many "mundane" plants and in the human organism, allegedly released at the time of death. It lasts 10 minutes which is strange for a psychedelic substance, which after the experience you can go back as Terrence said "answering phonecalls". Apparently the human body knows perfectly well how to metabolize it completely without any taxing effects.

From my personal experience in psychedelics, all of them, LSD, mushrooms and so forth, the user still maintains a reference point to reality around him however weird it might look. With DMT, the whole content of present reality disappears and you are seemingly transported in a completely different reality booming with alien intelligence (described by DMT users as self transforming machine elves) that purportedly is also very happy to see you "broken through".
Users also report an incredible amount of information being transmitted to them, albeit completely indescribable by present human language and concepts and find themselves being under a dome-like structure (called the "DMT Dome").

From what I know, these effects are only present if you follow a specific dosage and no less than that.

Another strange fact is that while all other psychedelics are boundary dissolving substances with your ego first to get booted, with DMT you apparently "maintain" your present self throughout the trip.

This is what the "Death by astonishment" quote of the same author, refers to.

> The Poor Reviews of Apple Watch Now Probably Means It Will Be a Major Success

It's good to look at the water in the glass, even when it's not even half full. I guess.

The iphone made computing ultra portable, the iPad reinvented the couch, and both of them
revolutionized the toilet experience.

The iWatch doesn't quite revolutionize or transform anything.
There is no inherent advantage to having half-a-computer on your wrist at all times.

The iWatch is a fashion item at the moment - hackers don't seem to be impressed with it as much (judging by the very few articles about iWatch on HN :)).
And if you don't impress the hackers, your days are numbered.
Well, except for the part where it's not actually true:

Javascript is, obviously, very widely deployed. But the idea that it's the most popular language in the world is laughable... it's the kind of myopic statement I'd expect from someone who comes from the web world and happily forgets about the millions and millions of lines of C, C++, and Java written every day, powering everything from web servers to cars to the very browser you're reading this in (or the engine that precious javascript runs on).
Maybe both, or none. It's complex: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5wpm-gesOY
I sense the same thing. I always see HN types bragging about their long hours, or how dedicated they are to their startup. I suspect a lot of these people don't have hobbies outside of work.
You say "probably", and then link to statistics that don't support the premise and in fact cast serious doubt on it, so I'm not sure what you mean to say here.
It had a working web browser.

I had two smart devices at the time. A Windows Mobile iPaq or whatever it called and a BlackBerry. The BlackBerry was the ultimate two-way pager, but the browser experience was MISERABLE. Given that Citibank and JP Morgan owned like 150,000 of the things, you'd think that the browser would render CNBC. Not so!

The Windows Mobile Device was sort of better, but the browser was some sort of scaled IE 5 derivative. It still had a stylus, and a Windows 95 style UI, complete with checkboxes and other awkward UI elements. The only third party app of any use was Google Maps.

The iPhone broke free of the carrier nickle/dime racket, had a good web browser and offered a user experience 10x better than anything else. EDGE was a bummer, but a slow network that would work was better than 3G without anything to do. The touch interface, pinch to zoom, etc was a game changer.

Yes, you are right I should have said public documents to be more precise. "Public record" is different than "copyrightable" which is what the issue is about. Public documents, that is owned by the state aka the people, cannot be copyrighted.

Bosun really is different in many ways than Nagios. There are 4 major components that are a the root of Bosun:

* Time Series Database: Lets you do forecasting and anomalous alerts. Basically lets your alerts have context

* Expression Language so you can manipulate that data: Makes the data you collect and how you alert more orthogonal

* Templating for alerts (Built on Go templates, can include graphs, tables, links, etc)

* IDE interface for developing and alert handling workflow. It also lets you test alerts against history which allows for rapid alert development.

So other than "it does alerting" it is a very different beast from Nagios.
Honestly, if you bought a fancy watch and don't want to wear it because you do manual work, that's a poor choice on your part and zero to do with the product.
Most phones have emergency lockscreen dialers, heck, some samsung phones have hold-down-button-for-emergency systems. That's besides the point though, what he's pointing out that this part of the iphone was a backtrack in capability compared to his older nokia. Now, we don't compare nokias to smartphones, we compare smartphones (most of which lack that capability) to smartphones, so it's never mentioned.
I thought the headline meant existential risk, but they seem to be talking about security/vulnerability stuff.
I've had a different experience. I wear mine most of the time. It feels durable enough to me that I don't worry about scratching it (the stainless steel version), and I actually find it makes me less attached to the Internet, not more. I can check it with a quick glance at my wrist when it is convenient, rather than having to fish my phone out of my pocket. It is nice to know that nothing important demands my attention so I can focus on the conversation at hand.

The reviews are not poor, and the Apple Watch has outsold the iPhone and iPad over the same period in its lifecycle.

I don't know if the Watch will be successful in the long run, and I don't want to post the slashdot quote for the millionth time, but that's exactly what people said about the iPod, iPhone, and iPad.

On the other hand, hackers were extremely excited about Maemo and Openmoko.

Yes, Korea (Hangul) really is about this easy to learn. It takes about a week of an hour a day to remember everything well enough to be able to sound out Korean words easily (and it's especially fun when you find English loan words).

Depending where you live, you might not use it very often, but it's a neat skill to pick up.

It also does that weird hack to your brain where you start looking at signs and instead of just seeing a picture of the sign, your brain almost starts involuntarily looking for things to read (almost like in some kind of unkillable background thread). Since it'll be a new writing system, your brain won't do it as quickly, but you'll never be able to look at ㄱ and not immediately have your brain turn that into a 'g/k' sound, but it'll happen kind of slowly compared to your native script and you can "feel" the thread working.
Bear in mind that sometimes the people on a patent listing aren't in favor of the idea being patented. A company I worked for started down the patent road for some processor emulation stuff I worked on; my name would have been on the patent even though I (a) didn't think it was patentable, and (b) didn't think it should be patented.

Because of the company's rules my name needed to be on the patent despite my objections.

That cat in the hat movie was an abomination. I mean, the source material isn't much to work with, however they just took the character and plopped him into some nonsense storyline with naught but suggestive glances towards the book.

Horton hears a who was pretty good though, and I think that was because the book had a plot that you could work with. The lorax had that possibility, but they just mucked it up.

They would need to match our platform to perform the mechanisms they have evolved for, but not necessarily to have adverse effects.
Apple had a very unique position at that time: the had legions of iPod fans, who are relatively wealthy, locked on to the Apple platform(due to music they bought).

Than they used that leverage on at&t , which was the weaker carrier in that time - in return only distributing via at&t - at&t agreed to give Apple full control - a thing unheard of in the industry. They repeated similar tactic in every geography.

That full control was the thing that enabled them to offer the best user/developer experience like matwood says and ride moore's law curve much better than the rest .

Ok, then why do none of the C app servers work in JRuby?
I haven't completely stopped wearing it, but I was also quite disappointed after the novelty wore off.

My main qualms were the viewing gesture not working that well and problems in the heat. We regularly reach temperatures in the mid-to-high 90s during the summer, and the watch becomes pretty useless in those conditions (screen is unresponsive and performing touch actions on its own). This makes it very difficult to use as an activity tracker.

Maybe the next version will address some of these problems, if they even make it that long. It is really hard to see this taking off like the iPhone did, though.
I'm reading "The Future Was Here" and it gives an excellent dive into the guts and history of the machine. I've really come to a new appreciation for how this crazy machine worked. Highly recommend this book for anybody with more than a passing interest in this legendary machine.
I've only had mine for two weeks. I wrote how I use it here:

https://h4labs.wordpress.com/2015/07/23/my-first-two-weeks-w...

My top 3 uses that I discussed are:

1. As a remote for music and podcasts

2. As an activity monitor (health)

3. As a phone.

Granted it has only been two weeks but I feel that the health "benefits" could be a big selling point. Who doesn't want to be a little healthier, or at least believe their actions are making them healthier?
I think theres an argument we are missing when only talking about the technical aspects of the Apple Watch. To be honest, I think it's to expensive for regular people. Even if it could bake you croissants and turn you a soup bowl, most people already burnt their tech budget on a phone that used to cost $200 and last three years, but now costs four times as much and is expected to last for two.
There are tools that do that, even more simply than Excel does. That's a separate issue, e.g., app discovery, corporate approval in some cases, and people unwilling to use the best tool for the job.
The whole "first generation" argument is flawed. Proponents of the Apple Watch claim that the hardware and software of the Apple Watch will get better over time. Fine. But the underlying form factor (a health tracker that makes it easier to read notifications from your phone) will not change.

While the first gen iPhone started out buggy and feature-sparse, the form factor was completely revolutionary: a phone with a touch screen and internet capabilities. A mini-computer in your pocket, rather than just a phone. It set itself up for future success as wifi, 3g + 4g networks, and the app ecosystem, developed over the next decade.

People will argue that there will be a different ecosystem of apps for the Apple Watch. The only input that it gets that is different from a smartphone is from the user's wrist. Otherwise, apps will be even more restricted by the small form factor of the watch. Who wants to play a game, read a book, or surf the web on a watch? Nobody. It's a glorified fitness tracker (do I really care about my pulse/heart rate? I just strap my iPhone to my arm and then I can listen to music while I run too!) that obviates the need to take your phone out of your pocket to check notifications. Which is simply awkward and rude in social situations.

The smartwatch form factor is not revolutionary and does not enable a large potential market for uses.

Rare? No. There are not a great number of regional paths, but there are lots of local paths in state/county/city parks, and in nature areas that are not so developed as to be called parks.

The regional path thing is changing somewhat as rail easements are converted to trails, but those tend to be a little bland.

There are also national trails like, for example, the Appalachian Trail (2,200 miles) and North Country Trail (4,600 miles planned, 2,700 miles completed).

I rather like your "religion" (at first glance it seems logically consistent), but I wouldn't personally espouse it except in the kind of company that might tolerate modest proposals :)

There is the "bootstrap problem", which is that what you're describing is more or less a truncated form of humanism - and that in itself is of course a belief system much in the manner of a religion (I guess, as you observe above).

Practically speaking, religion and belief are enshrined as "protected characteristics" for discriminatory purposes in most human rights laws. Right up there with age, disability status, sex, sexual orientation and so on.
