We have 100% totally pivoted on this one. Every proposal we put out, now has Echo front and center. As we say "screens", you mean like your father/mother used to use? How old school. A screen? Oh boy ... :-)

As Woz says, "bigger than the iPhone." That sounds like a hell of a prediction to me. Woz knows all. :-)

Peter is a MAJOR supporter of the arts. Big time.

> With his first wife, Norton accumulated one of the largest modern contemporary art collections in the United States.[30] Many of the pieces are on loan all over the world at any given time, and many were on view at Symantec Corporation. The foundation and the Norton Family Office are located in Santa Monica. ARTnews magazine regularly lists Norton among the world's top 200 collectors.

A. Accident B. Suicide C. Take over of his car, similar to what some conspiracy buffs think happened to Hastings from Rolling Stone.

Civil disobedience was a lot harder to do in 1776 then 2016. Marching in the street will probably have you bio-scanned, in a database, linked to your Metro Card.

So Plan B?

Ok, I know, first reaction, utter STUPIDITY of the human race. But don't let it down OK? There are some good, smart, people out there that care about it all. They're out there, they really are. Just keep looking. :-)

I hope people realize that every living being on the planet now has been contaminated by the atomic tests. Not a one of else escaped that one - if you were born after 1955 that is.

I can hack d3js. Can crunch billions of records in a flash of the eye, can wrangle most any DB (NoSQL, et al) out there, why would I need Tableau?

Answer: We want someone stable! Not some crazy hacker. Plus if we don't spend the cash, we don't have it in our budget next year.

Oh, I get it now. :-)

I can say one thing?

Firebase. That's it. Just one word. :-)

I'm happy with my iPhone 6 Plus. I see NO reason to buy another right now. Zero.

Think have to give some credit (lets say LOTS) to Kai Krause of Kai's Tool fame.

At his talks he would espouse about zero UI way back when, just a black screen, and nothing else. That's it. We all would just go WOW! We were blown away.

I think now he lives in a castle and just meditates all day __ or something like that. :-)

I would LOVE to have my scans crowd sourced. Having my name out there would be of little concern to me.

Living in NYC. What can I do tonite? 63 plays, 22 gallery openings, 18 meetups, 23 movies. 31,245 restaurants to choose from.

Northern New Hampshire: What are we going to do tonite? Nothing. Absolutely nothing going on.

Lets do some heroin.

Cool. It's all we got.

WTF.

Companies absorbed, dead links, contracts that had to be met at midnight, one booth with wifi, zero chance of getting anything like this out into NYC wasteland (where millions live). Soon the flashing giant ad monitors will all be strewn across midtown, not a byte will make it to deep Brooklyn not a one.

Do some googling on this one, follow the trail of disappearing companies involved, in the end, Google took it all over, that's the footnote, its all Google running the show now. But hey, more screens, that's Times Square. I'm ok with that. :-)

It's been a long time since I've gone to a site and just said WOW! Flooded with zillions of links daily, media overload for me, finding this one was well worth the minutes spent on the site.

I'm getting really bored with all the JS frameworks. Is it time to get back into perl?

Cassette tapes are hip again, why not perl. :-)

Many, many, many years ago, I took over an office space from Matt Goldman, who was one the founders of The Blue Man Group. His full time job, before starting Blue Man, was duplicating AOL disks. Day after day. Just one of those tidbits of AOL history.

Is there anything I can't do in Swift? Perl is super cool, but Swift seems like it can now be used on most of your text parsing and big data crunching needs (DNA, lab R&D, etc) now.

And it was everyone's first web language in the day. I was super impressed when ran my first perl script. I was hooked. :-)

Sigh, everyone here is totally miss-understanding the term. Can used as: dude that shit is totally Gay. Can be interpreted as "totally cool, awesome, far out" has NOTHING to do with being a homophobe. NOTHING.

Source: Live in NYC, and with a linguist.

And "Fucking Coders", etc, implies awesome coders. I'm confused how posts here don't understand the slang being tossed around.

And it all makes you wonder if the NYC school system is the next to be dis-rupted. A budget of 25 billion ($$$) a year. That's 10X the total VC invested in NYC last year.

Expenditures of $20K per student.

DART? I guess, but is one side of Google at odds with another?

Google Will Not Integrate Its Dart Programming Language Into Chrome

This is actually a pretty cool talk. We're kind of lulled into thinking our Apps are super secure, he seems to take them apart fairly easy, SSH seems simple to ignore.

Adding some science, just those crazy people from Harvard:

Harvard Unveils MRI Study Proving Meditation Literally Rebuilds The Brain’s Gray Matter In 8 Weeks

Test subjects taking part in an 8-week program of mindfulness meditation showed results that astonished even the most experienced neuroscientists at Harvard University. The study was led by a Harvard-affiliated team of researchers based at Massachusetts General Hospital, and the team’s MRI scans documented for the very first time in medical history how meditation produced massive changes inside the brain’s gray matter. “Although the practice of meditation is associated with a sense of peacefulness and physical relaxation, practitioners have long claimed that meditation also provides cognitive and psychological benefits that persist throughout the day,” says study senior author Sara Lazar of the MGH Psychiatric Neuroimaging Research Program and a Harvard Medical School instructor in psychology. “This study demonstrates that changes in brain structure may underlie some of these reported improvements and that people are not just feeling better because they are spending time relaxing.”

By the time if reaches Bloomberg news, it's dinosaur time.

Check out CloudKit, or Digital Ocean. AWS is really showing it's age. It's now just a Chinese List of confusing services, with just horrible documentation. (IMHO).

It's Monday at AWS, lets see: OK, today lets add: Cloud Replications Across Distributed Mobile Latency Image Systems Plugin Transient Architectures!

Great, throw up a link!

I'm sure that's what they are doing. Their services seem very similar to the Bullshit generator. Kind of spooky :-)

Damn, I just lost my: Amazon Elastic Transcoder! Holy shit, now what? OMG :-)

Just killed my AWS account, and this is what they sent:

My experience interviewing at Apple, don't let them know you know more then them (guess common sense, did i get the "then & than right?), you ain't getting the job. Sorry to say you have to dumb yourself down to work at these major companies, it's a pretty big ego game at play.

Actually it's probably like that across the world, but sometimes you luck out and actually get to work with just awesome people.

Required Reading. :-)

You can also ask any of the thousands of Amish.

By year is pretty cool. Even a film made in 1900. Working my way to the future now.

It is a bit ironic that Peter Thiel is backing Palantir, and is the biggest investor in the marijuana trade. They seem like opposite ends of the spectrum.

In photographs, I've noticed that Kim Jong-un has a Mac on his desk.

It hits a lot of Americans at one point in their life, "We're not always the good guys." It's taken me a lifetime to understand that.
