I had exactly the same doubt, the setup requires a see-through augmented reality display, which does not seem to be the case with Google Glass. I would love to be wrong though.

I don't know if he's around here, but you should get in touch with Patrick Thompson at Inkstone Mobile ( http://www.inkstonemobile.com/ ). He has been working in this space for some years and did a wonderful present

There is all this talk about how he made a mistake going to Hong Kong because Hong Kong actually has a strong extradition treaty with the United States (although ultimately, mainland China can veto anything if it chooses to do so). Snowden

In two words: side effects. Some powerful antibiotics are very toxic (e.g. liver, etc) and thus less used.

If anyone is still in doubt about how the DOJ impacted Aaron's life, it may be interesting to have a look at his last published blog post ( http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/tdk , discussion on http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5047421 ). Aa

I think Ed's approach is not necessarily incompatible with GTD. All he is saying is that he uses only one context is his next-actions list (@now?), which usually contains only one item. Everything else is in a someday/maybe list... I partic

"The most important piece of knowledge I took from 4HB and haven't seen anywhere else is to eat a protein rich breakfast (I do 4 fried eggs) within 30 minutes of waking up. This was very hard for me to keep up with so I have sample data fro

Being a bit of a fat ass, I also used to delude myself into thinking that the "fat-lazy" relationship was a myth. But when I started carrying around my 2 year old girl (who weights ~25libs), I noticed how tired and slow I got after some min

Jailbreak, install XBMC and use your iPhone/iPad as a remote. You can thank me later.

I have always been fascinated by "sous vide" cooking, but could simply not put up with the idea of eating food that has been in contact with plastics for hours in a hot environment. Most plastics do leach some very nasty compounds, not to m

I am very intrigued by your approach, could you please share more of it or maybe point some books that go deeper on this?

Well, not that I don't think you have a valid point but some very smart people have done otherwise... "When we were working on our own startup, back in the 90s, I evolved another trick for partitioning the day. I used to program from dinner

I am almost afraid to ask you this, but here it goes. On the last few weeks/months before starting Viaweb, did you consider yourself a failure for being almost 30, well-educated but out of the formal career track, "poor" and unmarried? If s

If you think that founding a start-up is tough, wait until you have children. Raising them (properly) is the toughest and most rewarding job that one can have... Marriage is just a way that society found to keep both parties more committed

If you want something like this, but more generic than Wikipedia-only, have a look at PersonalBrain ( http://www.thebrain.com/ , no iPad version?). To be honest, I could never make it work for my main intended use (academic papers & cit

I think you have a point, but I have learned a lot about programming and UI in the last years just by being an iPad user. There are a lot of apps in the iOS ecosystem, some more cool than useful of course, but such concentration of great pr

I remember your comments from some time ago, where you described Mathematica as a good Lisp-like language with good development tools. I am also curious about Mathematica. Have you changed your mind? Why?

You need awareness. Stop comparing yourself with other people and learn what you want in your own way. “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”

Hi saurik, I just would like to thank you for the wonderful job you did (and do) with Cydia. Jailbreaking and Cydia access is my first priority on any iOS device I buy, and I could never imagine myself buying another iPad/iPhone if Cydia st

" it was tricky in Gmail to import a complicated set of folders like I have and retain the structure" I did it through a client (mail.app), synching with IMAP. It worked flawlessly.
