Nice service. But how are you at interpreting the data?

Because bad stuff happened to them. Sometimes the bad stuff was us.

Bad stuff happened to us too, but we got over it.

Five; one to import the library and four for frivolous comments.

Maybe...if you could develop for it in Java and they put a lot of work into making it effortless to go from Android to their OS. At which point, you might as well just be running Android.

FFS. If your company name isn't "Apple," use Android. Availability of software is a key issue. I have no clue why anyone would want to build a completely independent and incompatible application library at this point. Buy some water pumps for Indian villages if you have that much spare money.

At a guess, you could probably get a few kbits.

But you really would get better results for video. Just using some round numbers from QR codes for an example, 33 px * 33 px * 15 Hz = 16 kbit, which is much more even allowing for the metadata overhead and an error-correcting protocol.

Cable modems do it all the time. Use it, if that's the infrastructure you have access to.

"The Diamond Age" by Stephenson comes to mind.

We get good at stuff by spending a lot of time and attention and hard work on it.

We like doing stuff we're good at. We don't like doing stuff we're bad at.

Spoilers: the media is usually wrong about anything involving statistical data.

It's a little frustrating that every article I've seen on this goes with the "town renamed after corporation" headline instead of the "$5000 equipment donation gives town clean water for next 10-20 years" option.

I don't know, maybe I'm expecting too much.

I got mine second-hand. Somehow, the warranty and all other license materials weren't included.

I can has open source now?

* Find a wildly successful product

* Find a subset of its users which are less satisfied

* Build the version they want

Netbooks over? Please. They're an increasingly popular substitute for lugging (and paying for) a full-sized laptop.

* It's not a mature language (yet).

* I can't seem to stop running into people promoting it.

* It doesn't solve any problems for me (yet).

Yes. It interrupts the flow of things. This helps you get a fresh perspective occasionally and reduces the risk of burnout.

He has an IDE - get him!

They're nice when they work and when they're appropriate.

Spoilers: that's not always.

* Use KML or other existing standards.

* You get what you pay for.

I'll believe it when I see it, or possibly even later.

You'd think that "the internet is forever" and "machine learning exists" would be sufficient to make people much more interested in safeguarding their privacy.
