Thanks for the link. He definitely did quite a good job with the fitness function (bigrams, finger priority, etc), I just didn't see quite how he came up with the workman layout sp…

It sounds like all of these layouts are just people taking guesses and reporting on their anecdotal experience. Has anyone ever tried determining a fitness function (travel distanc…

I bet the tourism companies inside the USA are over the moon with where this is going.

It's because they're procured based on verifiable requirements, and yet there's no way to specify a verifiable requirement for user interaction. Security is almost the same. 'Must …

What if you have a laptop? I often have some crappy tv show over on the right hand side of my screen with the code editor taking up the other 3 quarters. Or two notepads in semi di…

I liked nReduce, but I think a lot of the ideas could have used some feedback (including mine at the time), or early pivots, some were very obviously not that great It might have b…

I'm probably still very uninformed about Japanese society (it's complex), but they are probably more prone to suicide than others. From what I understand there is a huge emphasis o…

Hopefully as batteries improve we can push into the new paradigms of compact wearable computing (watches, raspberry pi rings?) and augmented reality. The premise that we're all don…

Credit cards are privately owned though. You don't -have- to use them and if you stop the surveillance stops, so it's a choice. With government surveillance you have no choice, not…

I wish I could upvote this a thousand times. It's great documentation, about documentation. I wonder if it would be worth encouraging people to put their names on official document…

It's a service to society if the grandmother would otherwise be taken care of by the government (at enormous expense probably) I can imagine other fulfilling activities like helpin…

So train them. Give them a general aptitude test, tell them you're taking a chance and hope they'll stay for at least three years and give them mentors and a couple of months to co…

Unless you think of a dynamic ad market as an efficient market signals system critical to the economy. Ie get the most interesting market messages to the right people, while not bo…

No doubt. If China had done this, the USA would be at the brink of war right now. They would be 'terrorists', or 'information terrorists' or something bizarre for undermining the '…

Remember MS-Java? As I recall it was a superset of Java. So you could migrate your java programs effortlessly towards MS, but couldn't get away! I'm glad they lost that lawsuit

And Angular directives are pretty self contained, with their own scope, template, functions, etc. You need angular.js obviously, but that's just the generic library.

Don't forget corporate secrets. What are your profit margins? What is the maximum/minimum you're willing to pay for all of your current negotiations? What is the design/strategy fo…

Society gets to decide the rules though, and we can't all do that when only a tiny fraction know what the rules are, and anyone that tries to talks gets prosecuted under the espion…

The data retention laws in Australia haven't been approved yet to my knowledge, but as part of the Echelon program they're not safe either. Although at least they announced the int…
