This may make good sense from spotify's point of view without knowing all the facts but it looks like it makes very little sense. Spotify and facebook are two unrelated services that users get to apply the 'binary or' truth table on. None,

One of the very hard to quantify effects here are how many of the bugs found in 'short' routines would have gone unnoticed if the routines were longer. In other words, were all the bugs that were there (both in short and in long functions)

This is why you always use braces, even when they're optional. Imo a single-line if without braces is an accident waiting to happen.

This is the sort of thing that causes governments to enact legislation. Either you self-regulate and do a good job of it or sooner or later you get a bunch of rules forced upon you that may be far more impractical and expensive to implement

But it's not that simple now, is it? Facebook infests your life whether you want it or not and does not have a 'no thanks' or 'yes please' option that will kill all their cruft on a thousand and one websites. On a typical day of surfing you

The first time I noticed that I logged out of facebook, I haven't been back since. Way too creepy.

I don't think I want 'everything to go into the graph in a structured way'. Name, rank and serialnumber should be enough. Anything more and you should ask for permission first.

Thank you. So V1 is 'raw' and later cortices have performed more processing on the data causing it to be higher level, which in turn makes it harder to translate it back to a visual?

I asked this in the other thread: would tech like this enable you to view what someone is dreaming?

Would this allow you to scan the brains of subjects that are sleeping in an MRI to reconstruct their dream images? Reconstruction of what the subjects are currently looking at is interesting but a direct window into the imagination would be

Answering this question properly requires access to a crystal ball. A partial answer: If you go and do a fundraising round now you might burn up very valuable time being distracted when you could simply launch instead. In your shoes, I woul

You really should post that.

That's a super attitude and I wish it was more common. Thank you for showing the way.

Too big to kill, too small to keep. Story of my life. The 'worst' point to be at is $7K per month without any way to grow the business. You'll become dependent on it so you have to continue but it eats up enough time and energy that you can

Something close to this happened a while ago with an actress impersonating a founder with some totally ridiculous idea. It took quite a few of the people in the audience until approximately midway into the presentation before their bs meter

I absolutely love this project and I really hope that the momentum that it has found will be preserved. Anything that helps the web to become a marketplace, especially for labor will have a huge impact in the long run.

Yes, and I think that Agilents future is a lot more secure than HPs at this point in time. Agilent is basically the instrument division of the 'old' HP.

From what I've read about them their retirement was permanent, they both had more than deserved it. So I don't think they could have avoided the mess unless they stepped in and that would be highly unlikely. Maybe a 'watchful eye' would hav

It hurts just to think about that. In a weird way I'm happy that Hewlett and Packard are not around to witness this, to see the work of a lifetime butchered like this is just too painful.

QnX will survive in one form or another if only because so many defense contractors rely on it. (and RTOS of course). One can only hope that it would be open sourced under a permissive license in such a situation but I highly doubt that wil

It is hard to even think about what they could do to salvage their reputation at this point. The board (Whitman included) collectively falling on their swords as a mea culpa would leave HP rudderless (but that may not even be worse than the

Yes, but you can bet that any manager that was about to plunk down a large amount of money for HP stuff with a sense of continuity is now looking at the competition. The kind of boat-rocking that HP is engaging in is every corporate buyers

An auction is a totally different thing than offering something 'for sale', auction sites typically allow people to make bids and enter in to a contract which requires them to take delivery. If craigslist is the equivalent of ebay to you th
