It's probably as simple as it gets given the set of constraints (I assume) you've set on yourself. To open it up to a wider audience you'd either have to have write some sort of provisioning tool (possibly a local app) or lean on someone else's (Linode marketplace, etc). DNS shouldn't be overlooked either as something troublesome for users.
It's possible to unfollow everyone who posts outrage tweets, give it a try. It will become eerily quiet, and hopefully only occasional once-a-day quality tweet will remain.
> (Fair warning, I have our city's flag inked on my arm, so I may be a booster).

It is a kickass flag, to be fair.
Not convinced at all. Who would wear that ?
I remember John specifically saying at Quakecon that he wanted the game to be an app that people use to show off their iOS device.
It would depend on the hardware used.

Standard counter-intuitive example (from the game development domain) is how to check if an array of integers has a zero in it. The answer, when all things are considered, is to scan through an entire array making a simple arithmetic for each item and one comparison at the end rather than compare each element.

The same may happen with your example. Filling up 32-bit mask might be more expensive than to flip an element in a boolean array. That's not even considering that the array option allows for early termination of the second loop.
Yes, there are many SMS clients, such as Handcent.
Severely disappointed this wasn't about some major change Apple was needing to make to Obj-C/Cocoa frameworks. ;)
Why do you think the iPhone is such a hit? It's basic functionality? or the fact that you can have a lot of fun on it?
The iPhone was initially a hit because it was the first smart phone that was really designed for the consumer (before that, the way I see it there were mostly business smartphones). It is a hit today because it is seen as the cool phone to have and it is very well marketed. The eyecandy provides only the finishing touch.

their desktops come so poorly packaged
People get what they pay for, and for a lot of people they pay a relatively small amount of money to a company that puts a large markup on the hardware in their PC so they end up with something cheap. Most higher end machines from the likes of Dell are pretty useable on the RAM front from what I see.

Most users are running W7 or Mac OS X
On the server this doesn't matter at all. Servers run mostly Linux, generally with no UI. Or Windows Server - which runs with a UI not that much more advanced that what you might have found back with Windows 2000.

Lastly, I am glad to see smaller companies making a difference, like the one in the article.
I'm sure we all are - but I don't think that they are making the difference you think they are. A 512 core server set-up won't help any user make a home video, listen to their music or play games. What it will help is large datacenters who can serve more requests simultaneously.
> 100 rems "will cause illness," . . . equivalent to eating around 10,000 bananas

Well, those numbers are for acute exposure, so you would have to eat them all at once. In which case, I'd think the 1.2 million calories would also be a concern.
> Could it be that he's biking as some sort of recreation perhaps?

He could be trying to impress someone. Maybe there's a bet involved. Maybe he's trying to affect bicycle sales.

People do things for many reasons. However, observers are really bad at figuring out said reasons.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_attribution_error for some related discussion.
I think a lot of people (including yourself) have caught on to the business model. It's just that many people can't get past the WTF factor of the funny cat site to see that there's a serious business there. Nobody is keeping what we're doing a secret.

It's not just "Internet memes" though, it's more about finding untapped types of crowd-source-able humor. There wasn't a popular "there, I fixed it" meme before we launched thereifixedit.com

I haven't been keeping explicit score, but the killing 20% figure feels about right. Our count of surviving sites has been constantly growing, we're up to 53 at the moment.
? What do you mean? I'm not sure how that makes sense, Particularly considering that the modern banana is largely a product of human bio-engineering and has very little resemblance to a wild banana.
No it is NOT their platform! If I buy it, it belongs to ME.

Umm, not really.

They do, however, own the store and it just so happens that they've rigged the phone to prevent customers from obtaining software anywhere else.

See? That's what "owning the platform" means.
By that logic it is the same number of HTTP requests. Embedding images in the document is trivial at this point.
http://noostr.com is another one (my project, actually). The current version works and is customizable, but the upcoming 0.7 has a lot of new features. It should be release at the end of the week.
Earlier this year, I created a list of things I want to do before I die:

1. Write & produce a Grammy-winning Song, that shakes people to their core.

2. Break the 100m record in 2012

3. Master a technical/engineering subject

4. Design a house

5. Write a bestselling book

6. Travel to each continent

7. Travel to space

8. Learn a foreign language

9. Learn to fly an airplane

I don't know if I still want to go for #2, even though I'm a Jamaican like Bolt. But one can live in hope, right?

Thanks for admitting that status is important to you. That's also the reason I would like to master a technical subject.
Last time I checked, Padrino didn't yet support page/action/fragment caching - a pretty serious limitation IMHO.

Anyone know if that's been fixed?
That honestly happened a while back with the shift to longer periods of VC funding.

It's an outstanding show. It's quickly become my favorite content on Disney+. They could triple the amount of episodes and it wouldn't be enough. It's produced and directed really well with tons of great content.
Ah yes, the only possible reason somebody could disagree is failure to understand your perfect words.
Well of course. That's because I'm correct.

Your analogy is irrelevant. Your example neighbor is only putting up signs for one person, and you don't explain why he takes down the signs.

Censorship is selective removal of unwanted ideas to prevent those ideas from spreading. Removing all ideas for some other reason is not censorship.
Not mass-produced, but an "open source" kit for making multi-touch: http://labs.nortd.com/touchkit/.
I gave this an upmod partially because I think that it imparts a bit of theory that many people may have missed in their studies.

One thing the article doesn't mention but is an important development in the models of Church and Turing is that, computationally, the two models are equivalent by the Church-Turing thesis[1].

I have 2 variants on my homepage :

"Free Trial" http://www.zookshop.com/?comb=1-b

"Sign up : 30-day Free Trial" http://www.zookshop.com/?comb=2-b

The first one is way more effective than the other.

I have no data with "a month" because I haven't tested it, but it seems to be common knowledge that "30 days" is better, because it looks longer.
I dropped by to say this.

The examples in Future Work 2 would all have been resolved by checking results against Soundex, a simple check with significant improvement.

There are two classes of errors: misspellings and typos. Edit distance (Levenshtein) is reasonable for typos, while the examples in Future Work 2 are misspellings.

Another trivial improvement is to weight edit distance by typo distance.
An incredibly in-depth analysis of Netflix from the man himself... this is what a top CEO thinks like.
I used to dedicate a lot of time to it and be active in the Wikipedia/Wikimedia channels on IRC. I would mostly add articles on the needed articles pages... just start a few paragraph stubs; or in some cases I would extend stubs. I´ve felt it harder to edit lately, although I have enjoyed working with Wikimedia Commons more...
Is there some service where I can easily create unlimited custom email addresses for a flat monthly fee? I want to use a unique email for each new website/service. That would go a long way to solving some data leak/privacy problems. The problem with custom domain is I have to maintain it right? I want a service which I don't have to maintain. I used to use new Yahoo accounts but they are a hassle and recently they disabled free auto-forwarding.
4) What was the user name? A password should be no good without a user name.
I'm not a cycling person, but I'm curious. Does the cycling community know about the book "Mrs. Armitage on Wheels"?

As an outsider peering in, this reminds me of that book, given its a way to mount your laptop and everything else to your bike.
Entity component systems are nothing new, I remember reading an article about it from Valve back in like 2007.

The recent hype comes from Unity, because they very unimaginatively misappropriated the term.
> Sadly, very few people acknowledged that prudence had a very real cost in additional infections, deaths, risk of mutations, slower economic recovery.

> The consensus only shifted to "First Doses First" after the faster spreading UK and South African variants emerged, and the risk of inaction became more obvious.

But isn’t this exactly what should happen if we’re comparing risks? It seems entirely possible that there was a well-understood risk to giving only 1 shot when the trials were for 2, and that risk was higher than the risk of virus outcomes before the new variants, but then the risk was lower than the risk of virus outcomes after the new variants. I don’t know if this was the case, but it seems very plausible and reasonable. Other things could change these relative risks too, like how quickly we have been able to get vaccinations done.
Fomo is a helluva drug.
They can easily switch to other retail power providers. There are other services in Texas that you can subscribe to that will automatically switch your retail provider based on whoever happens to be providing the best deal on any particular day.
Previous studies were already zeroing in on the cytoskeleton (made of microtubules) as the likely place where slime molds stored their memories:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4594612/

The break through here is that they've found the memories are encapsulated in the diameter of the microtubules: “Past feeding events are embedded in the hierarchy of tube diameters, specifically in the arrangement of thick and thin tubes in the network.”
And note that taxing companies is inherently a regressive tax. America would be better served by abolishing corporate tax entirely.

On the individual side I would expand schedule C to all income-producing activities--what it cost to make the money comes off the top rather than the current mess (especially as unreimbursed business expense isn't even deductible at present.) This would include all hobby activities, the only difference being a zero floor for hobby "income"--you can't write off hobby losses against other income.

Obviously, individual tax rates would have to go up, but so long as it was revenue neutral I think America would benefit.
I'm talking about being able to accurately assess the comparative chances of success between two (or many) startups, not to accurately predict the chances of a single startup's success. This is something that many talented developers do.

Technical prowess does not mean company success, but if you are able to identify a company that with significantly higher comparative odds of success, in which your technical prowess can directly impact the success of the product, you are in a much better position to achieve a positive outcome than if you had joined a company at random where your talent didn't have significant incremental value-add.

With regard to your prowess adding significant value-add, I think it is easiest to give a counter-example / example.

SnapChat's success likely doesn't ultimately lie in their ability to create beautiful HTML5 landing pages for their app on the web, so their front-end web developers likely don't add huge incremental value.

Conversely, Google's success largely hinged on their ability to return highly relevant search results with great speed, so early developers with talents in these fields had a much larger impact on the eventual success of the company. - This is the kind of situation you should aim to find.
There's no easy answer to this. A billion different places users could go doesn't mean they have active communities, and if I mentioned where I like to hang out on the internet, those areas would probably get ruined.

Instead, I'll mention two platforms some of my friends like, to avoid taking the cost of a ruined platform myself:

sqwok.im: This one is the most microblog-like of the two, but it's also the least conventional. The quality varies; the front page only looks good every once in a while.

tildes.net: This one is invite-only, which helps mitigate the masses jumping in somewhat, and is run by a former reddit administrator. The existing community isn't great, but it's good. Friendly enough people.
I'm curious, what areas of the US are slated to run out of water in 30 years?
Most spam emails do not even reach your spam folder. You wouldn't want to see those purged emails either.
Different strategies work for different founders.

Some of the successful indie solo founders I know do one-two weeks of coding and then one-two weeks of marketing, until they had enough revenue and "busy-ness" to offload one of those two things. It's wise to offload to freelancers/contractors initially (upwork.com and weworkremotely.com are good for that).

Hiring the first full-time employee, again deriving from what you want to offload, and slowly growing the team from there depends on market demand and whether you're bootstrapping (slow but steady) or funded (fast but risky) as well as your own vision.

Essentially, what-ever scale you have in mind, the idea of running a business is to offload/delegate as much of regular tasks to specialized individuals, who are ideally better at that work than you, so that you have more time and energy at hand to think, plan, and enjoy the rewards of money and freedom.
My go-to for these types of games is itch.io. https://itch.io/games/html5
Those have nothing to do with each others?
Gas and oil pipelines typically use expansion loops to handle thermal expansion/contraction by flexing the pipe: http://demonstrations.wolfram.com/PipelineExpansionLoop/

Because the hyperloop cars are discrete (as opposed to the continuous flow in a pipeline), I'd expect them to cause a lot of stress on the pipeline walls if they had to run around the bends in an expansion loop.
Just attended a hackathon (hosted at Socrata). The ad hoc organizing felt good, natural. Wish my day job was more like that.
Regardless of whether the US would have become fascist, the Soviet Union was a brutal totalitarian regime. I see absolutely no reason to applaud anyone spying for them.
Oops, not sure how I misread that, it's pretty clear! This unfortunately seems to reduce these projects in usefulness to pretty much awesome and interesting research - completely unusable in any business though. I don't see how any business can be expected to make all employees keep to these conditions - way too fragile and easy for an employee to screw the company.
Why do I get the creeping suspicion that this is modeled on an actual in rem civil forfeiture case, where only the names have changed?
I agree, I was speaking more on trying to block crawlers that look like browsers in general, sorry that wasn't more clear.
I don't know if Skrenta's approach is perfect (can spammers make slashtags? I'll bet they can!) but Google's is clearly failing.

Giant swathes of Google searches are now overrun with datafog spammers. Ehow, squidoo, hubpages, wikihow, buzzle, how-wiki, ezinearticles, bukisa, wisegeek, articlesnatch, healthblurbs, associatedcontent - all thee and thousands more domains filled with spam semi-automatically generated by legions of Indians for a few cents per page.

There's not one word of useful information on any of those domains. But apparently they serve a lot of ads for Google, so they don't get delisted.
I don't want to get downvoted, but is it ok to post just to say thank you, even though it doesn't add to the discussion?
it is sinking, but for a different reason. the web is getting away from google. getting locked up in apps, or walled gardens like facebook or itunes
The BNP is an overtly racist party. If you join them, it is assumed you follow their policies and general belief structure. Those policies and beliefs are incompatible with what the police are ordered to do as part of their jobs.

It's better than a policy of ignoring the beliefs of your officers, isn't it?
There is little rigor behind most of the claims of the NYTime story: The targeted site already negates any pagerank benefit of their links (they do implement nofollow), and the definitive example seems to be nothing more than good SEO of the site in question (most of the other front and second page sites are pretty mediocre as well, clearly with little web competition in the keyword space).

In any case, go to a shopping specific (sub)site if shopping. A google search is a terrible way of find either products or retailers.
I like start small stay small. That is my goal initially. In addition it should be a business where I can scale down the hours while keeping the earnings, and semi-retire early.

I was looking at ebay. But having spent some time on the Terapeek free trial, ebay.com.au and Alibaba looking at many products it seems to me that ebay sellers are making razor thin margins, or in some cases outright losses. I don't get it. I think the ones making good money are established stores who use ebay as an additional channel. They are trying to acquire new customers, so can take a hit on the first sale, offering free postage or whatever. I don't fancy competing with that.

So I am now leaning more towards the sensible suggestion in this thread to stick to what I know. IT/Programming.

My current idea is a simple one. To give 1 hour free consultation to a small business to see if I can help them save time/labour using automation.

If I can then I give them a quote for a solution, otherwise walk away. Even if I spend hours and don't sell anything, I get a lot of market research and new ideas, so it won't be wasted.
I think we are hitting the point where the technology is there, even if it is a bit rough. Unfortunately it is still bleeding edge, and it seems like adoption will take a while.
Sounds like someone is/will get a nice business out of selling tiny little "wifi killer" devices that just continuously sends deauth's to everyone, that can be plugged into some well hidden outlets somewhere when you're not happy with them...
Funny, how all these sad stories easily make their ways even among intellectual people.

"Our duty is to make Turks out of all the non-Turks within the Turkish country, no matter what. We will cut out and throw away any element that will oppose Turks and Turkishness." There's no such quote from İnönü. But when lies are supported with such strong words, suddenly people start respecting them.

These lies are made up by kurd-islamists in recent years, and other groups such as armenians are also trying to grab a bite from Turkey, by taking kurd-islamists side and supporting their lies. These lies can easily be traced back to kurd-islamist so-called historians' books, but one can go no further than that, for there's no supporting evidence on their claims even in their books.

But as always, if you repeat the same lies over and over again, people will believe it.
I do IT for a few hotels and I've never found this feature useful. While I agree it's useful to be able to control RF noise (by annoying someone enough with the deauth packets that they turn off their tethering), it's difficult to differentiate between nearby businesses and homes vs. someone tethering on-site.
I'm just wondering if the name is already taken :P slightly different but still same sound

"Linear Algebra Done Right": http://linear.axler.net/

From a math perspective some definitions could be "cleaner" but as a first/second round it gives a very good perspective on linear algebra.

Some of the good stuff:

* The general theme is "direct sum decomposition".

* Determinants are delayed as much as possible. (There are many good reasons to do this.)

* Eigenvalues are not computed using the characteristic polynomial but the other way around; This reflects the algorithmic side: For performance reasons a computer usually calculates the char.polynomial using the eigenvalues and not by using determinants.
The comparison is between Facebook and Microsoft's online services, not all of Microsoft. Microsoft's online services didn't do 60B a year in revenue.

Don't have an opinion on the Steelers but the other two are worthy goals. Good luck! (The way you are attending to your mom is admirable.)
"python web tutorial" or "python cgi" comes back with a lot of them.
I believe Zecco's business model was "We'll just remove our marketing budget so you can pay $4.95 per trade", which isn't unsustainable, but their merger with TradeKing shows that they probably didn't execute it as well as they could have.
An aside: it's independent thought and experimentation like this makes hackers so important.
Apparently it was serendipitous. They were just hoping the carbon fibers would slow down the polysulphite formation, and were surprised when they found stable gamma sulfur[1].

Outstanding film, outstanding cast, outstanding performances.

Survivorship bias. You often hear only about the top earners and not the poor person doing onlyfans and working another job. Or two. I'd expect the majority of performers not to live in large, nice houses.

This book is made of win. Please pass along an encouragement to make it available on Amazon if possible. I'm sure he's thought of it, but please add a +1 to the thought. For better or worse, lots of people buy there because the checkout/CC/etc process is already set up.
