With all respect to the people in taobao, but this is different. The whole page (without css, JavaScript and images) in facebook case generated through one http request. In your case, they use Ajax to get content through serveral http requests. IMHO the facebook method is better. It avoid http request overhead and parallized steps as many as possible.
Did you actually read what the document said, or did you just do a search for the word "tax"?

The compulsory license idea was not a proposal of the commission but a proposal of "one workshop participant." The commission's report just mentions as something that was mentioned in the round table discussions and then mostly criticises it. That is very far from the title of "FTC mulls taxing news agregators". Also the compulsory license would not be applied to news agregators but directly to ISPs.
If "HTML5" is a term used for different things for different people, what's the term used for "shiny CSS toys" like the Apple HTML5 page? CSS3? Because that's actually what I'm interested in. All the canvas and video support is fine and dandy, but the shiny stuff like built-in rounded corners, border images, gradients, transitions, and animations are killer features.

I have a feeling that we're going to have to define a whole bunch of terminology to move ahead. People are confusing the HTML5 "markup additions" to the HTML5 "javascript upgrade" to Apple's HTML5 "hey look Ma, no Flash and lots of shiny!" (And to be fair to Apple, even Chrome doesn't fully support Apple's CSS3 shiny 3D toys, so that's why they had a Safari Only "HTML5" demo.)
No, one is forced to use IE6 by the IT department because many internal web applications developed during IE6's time targeted the browser instead of web standards.

I'd buy that if there were plenty of enterprises running Internet Explorer 4 or Windows 3.1 for exactly the same reason.
It takes something that's worth being written about. Connections help.
s/with eshell// and I agree. I prefer sshfs, but sometimes you are on Windows and tramp is the only way.
This is, AFAIK, the same route a Delta IV Heavy takes.
The history here is non-intuitive; I'll try to explain it. I was living in DC during the Crypto Wars of the late 1990s and covering them as a reporter (I've since shifted to working on http://recent.io/, of course).

The SAFE Act as originally introduced in the House of Representatives was designed to be generally pro-crypto by relaxing export controls. But as it made its way through the various committees, the anti-crypto forces got their hands on it and turned it on its head. It became a ban-non-backdoored-crypto bill instead.

More precisely, in 1997, a House committee approved a ban on domestic encryption without backdoors for .gov access. Here's an excerpt from the amended anti-crypto version of the SAFE Act:

"After January 31, 2000, it shall be unlawful for any person to manufacture for distribution, distribute, or import encryption products intended for sale or use in the United States, unless that product [...] permits immediate decryption of the encrypted data..."

Here's how one of the anti-crypto politicos, Rep. Bill McCollum, who went on to be Florida's attorney general, justified it while debating the House Judiciary version of that bill:

"Because this bill will promote greater use of stronger encryption, law enforcement may not be able to gather evidence that it can use to investigate and prosecute cases. Imagine a situation where the police with a search warrant seize the computer of a terrorist but cannot decrypt the list of people and places that he intends to strike next. Or the situation where the police seize the computer of a purveyor of child pornography but cannot decrypt the files to download the images to prosecute him." http://www.techlawjournal.com/cong106/encrypt/19990324mcc.ht...

So yes, you're right that sec. 2804 in one version of SAFE eliminates mandated key escrow. But other versions, including the one approved by that House committee in 1997, went exactly in the opposite direction.
So, another crime against privacy is being smuggled under the cover of helpful change.
A lot of times I wonder if people become entrepreneurs because they think its this fun lifestyle? Or do they think its an instant path to riches? Or do they fear a 9-5 job? Or are they doing it for the reason I do it: to create something?

Psychologists could have a field day with entrepreneurs.
Congrats on getting to where you have!

Overall I thought the video looked good. The problem is not necessarily with your story I believe though. The problem is that the market you are entering is dominated by major players with established markets, distribution, and customer base. You will really need to show how your product is better than those. The "anti-odor" avenue may be the best angle on that from what I gathered in your video.

As for your direct-to-consumer distribution method, that will be a tough play in this market I think. My suggestion is to go out to some of the high schools, athletic leagues, smaller colleges in your area and talk to the athletic departments. Try to get at least one or two on board with using your product. Get feedback from them and build on that. It may be a loss for your as you may have to give out some shirts to get there, but in the long run you will gain valuable insight into the product. If they like it and it is better or more cost effective for their players the word-of-mouth will get you enormous return.

You are going to need to hustle the product yourself to these groups. Look at the story of Kevin Plank and how he built Under Armour into the brand it is today. Great hustle (it also did help to have some pre-established pro-athlete connections and the fact he played football at a division 1 college).

Overall, I think the quality of the video is good. Maybe just focus more on what is different and why it is better than existing brands/products.
Congrats to A16Z.

My biggest memory of Sinofsky is just after he joined the Windows 8 team. I went to the copy room to get a notebook. Sitting in a corner, on top of one of the desks, in meditation position was a guy working. That was quite odd, I had never seen anyone "working" in the copy room. So I started talking the the guy, and it turned out it was Sinofsky. In over 2 years on Microsoft it was the first time I saw a top executive on our building. I saw him many more times - in the cafeteria, in other peoples office, almost once a week at least.

He was intimately immersed with the product and the people. Contrast to the rest of the execs who you pretty much so once a year on the Microsoft company wide meeting.
tl;dr. yes. i don't care anymore. they should fire their employees and just close down shop. i know the article implies it should be automated, but i don't really care. the food is horrible for you. this is the time when we all stand up and say, fuck fast food. let's eat a food that wasn't chemically marketed to make us want more.

Here's one more efficient way... use perl!

#!/usr/bin/perl

use Modern::Perl;
use List::Util 'reduce';

sub cook {
my ($i1, $i2, $f) = @_;
say "get the $i1";
$f->($i1);
$f->($i2);
}

cook "lobster", "water", sub { say "pot " . shift };
cook "chicken", "coconut", sub { say "boom " . shift };

my @a = (1, 2, 3);

map { say $_ * 2 } @a;
map { say $_ } @a;

sub my_sum {
reduce { $a + $b } 0, @_;
}

sub my_join {
reduce { $a . $b } "", @_;
}

say "sum " . my_sum(@a);
say "join " . my_join(@a);
I thought just two months ago we were reading a Fred Wilson article about how this is not a bubble. So, it is a bubble now, but Fred just doesn't like that word?

This is a off topic, for which I apologize, but the way his Etsy Mini is cut off there doesn't exactly highlight the wonderful design and programming prowess of Etsy. Or well, actually sad to say it does encapsulate their design skills very accurately. The Etsy mini has not been updated since 2006. Can you imagine? I guess the fact that one of Etsy's main investors puts that on his blog, with the right 25% cut off no less, and seems to think it looks fine explains a lot.
You appear to be mixing two things here. What you described is a form of a "slab allocator" whereby all blocks in a certain size range are allocated from one big piece of memory that is sliced into equally sized chunks. This is really fast, it works great for smaller blocks and it is the way to speed up the STL-heavy code. I did some profiling a while back and a lock-free slab allocator delivered 10x speed up in the code that operated with std::map and strings.

The second thing is locality. An allocator like halloc could theoretically utilize the fact that two blocks are explictly marked as related and allocate them close to each other. However, for this to work the allocation function needs to be passed a pointer to the parent block, which is not the case with halloc. So the API needs to change, the implementation needs to change too, and then it will no longer be a light implementation of a simple idea, but something else.

The issue is not that he holds such views, the issue is that he brings it up in the context of free software in order to push the line "the gummint is out of get us", which makes it a little unpalatable to many.
Even the most trivial computer programs have lots of bugs (with VERY few exceptions [1]), and we're worrying about creating a super-brain that is actually smarter than we are ourselves ?

And let's not forget the debugging, which is TWICE as hard as the coding ;-)

We may be able to simulate the hardware of the brain (using "biologic hardware"), but programming the AI software is probably greatly under-estimated....

[1] Some of the NASA software is probably as close to bug-free as we get, and check the required amount of planning, documentation and testing compared to the amount of actual code produced

This isn't true for Google. Akamai has all kinds of archaic network issues that cause problems, but it isn't often OpenDNS related. They certainly do their best, and know our network map well as we send it to them whenever it changes.

For Google -- If you use OpenDNS, you will always go to the most appropriate Google datacenter to you (not OpenDNS).
At least so far it's just VC money that will be wasted in this bubble. Money from people whose job it is to invest properly, so if they lose it all it's quite literally their own fault.

It's not a giant wealth transfer scheme from Main Street to Wall Street like the last bubble. Not yet, anyway.
As usual, Ravi is spot on here.

When I lasted looked into them, most startups in Bangalore were run by MBA-types who seemed to be intent on just copying the latest fad from Silicon valley. Even some of the most successful Indian startups - naukri.com and makemytrip.com are just copying well-established international websites and derive their success from paying attention to the Indian market before the country was on the radar of those players. It'll be interesting to see how these companies do now that they have competition. In any case, as Ravi and many others have pointed out, only the founders got rich out of Naukri and Makemytrip.

The other thing Ravi alluded to, about having credible proven founders is also important. I know a few devs* who, if they offered me a chance to work with them, I'd jump at the opportunity. However, the vast majority of these startups guys were folks I'd want to avoid working with even in GenericBigCorp.

* Unfortunately I don't know Ravi personally but if I did, he'd be near the top of this list.
Consumers are overrated. Do you really think Sysco is going to go under because the average guy on the street doesn't know or care about them?
I was coming here to say this but can't talk more due to NDA.

However, I would say look at the capabilities as listed for Synology DS2015x and extropolate. I, for one, kind of wish that Annapurna remained independent for other uses outside of AWS.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/8777/synologys-ds2015xs-brings...

"The SoC at the heart of the DS2015xs is the AL-514 from Annapurna Labs, an Israeli startup that is still in stealth mode. The company has declined to speak to the media as of now. However, tracing some coverage of Israeli VC firms reveals that Annapurna Labs was founded in 2011 with the intent of bringing ARM-based communication processors to the market. Datasheets of SoCs from Annapurna Labs are not currently available to the public, but Synology was kind enough to divulge the following details (which, I suspect, can be gleaned via SSH access to the DS2015xs):

The AL-514 has four ARM Cortex-A15 cores running at 1.7 GHz
The Cortex-A15 cores are configured with LPAE (large physical address extension) that allows addressing of more than 4 GB of RAM (the DS2015xs supports up to 8 GB)
The SoC has two 10G Ethernet MAC IPs integrated"

What a great plot for a sci-fi/noir novel; an evil old man captures babies and infuses their blood into himself.

With a variant: the babies don't just vanish, they disappear for a while, and then come back. But alas, inexplicably, once they're back they begin to age very fast.

Maybe they don't disappear at all, they just start to age and that's how the inquiry starts. People notice the disease and think it's some kind of virus; but a young journalist trying to connect the dots notices all affected babies stayed at the same clinic at some point.

He goes there to see for himself and is greeted by a brilliant doctor who's wise beyond his years...

The very possibility of a "backup" implies a dualism that makes me uncomfortable.
If I've understood it correctly, the subsidary in the tax haven actually owns the IP and then licenses it out to the proper company at high rates. This way, the profits are shifted from the regular firm to the company in the tax haven, and as only profits are taxed the company can stay largely tax free.
Absolutely! Here ya go:

Politely decline meetings. Say you're always willing to listen to offers and opportunities. Until they come up with some hard numbers and terms then they are getting more from you then you are from them.
> The great thing about UBI money is that most of it would go straight back into the economy.

Your first part of the comment sounds like the Broken Window Fallacy and doesn’t answer the question.

> I think this is a much more moral and desirable outcome than the current situation where we rely on putting people in a position where they are forced into degrading, disgusting, or dangerous work. All too often that work is then used to belittle and degrade those people further.

Nice in theory, until you need a plumber for a broken toilet 3am on a Tuesday but nobody is a plumber anymore

Hotels fall into a class of businesses that are considered a public good, much like taxi companies. As such, there are often really strict regulations on what hotels can charge customers. Some of it is to prevent racist practices, but some of it is to prevent straight-up profiteering in emergency situations.

As others have noted, most states require that hotels post their maximum rates on cards inside the room for this very reason. I’m not sure, but I expect that the hotel’s business tax may be based on those maximum room rates. There must be some incentive not to just make those max rates “one meeeeelion dollars”.

The unwritten rule is that we expect hotels to be there in times of crisis to house the population. There are also a ton of regulations around things like keeping an up-to-date guest register, providing a phone in every room, and providing a hotel safe. This is part of the reason that hoteliers get so upset at Airbnb - they aren’t subject to any of the regulations that hotels are, which helps them undercut their pricing, and which also leaves their patrons open to abuse.
"Millenials are soon to be the biggest hunk of the electorate and, if the mid-terms are any indication, they simply don’t care. And that shouldn’t be surprising since no one is connecting to them in the ways they connect with each other or talking about issues that matter to them from perspectives they can identify with."

I'm really tired of reading stuff like this, the idea that the president doesn't use snapchat to communicate with voters and that is why millennials don't care. Communication is not the problem. I have no problem picking up the white house message, be it through the NYT, CNN, Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, RedditAMA, Funny Or Die, The Daily Show, or anywhere else he has shown up the past couple years. The issue is that it increasingly feels like there is nothing that can be done to influence the situation. That's not just from a personal perspective - it feels like the president has a really hard time getting things done as well.
Also it can be considered phising attack if both app ask for some user data and users enter their data in the fake app because they believe it's the real app.

I bought that same scanner. Freaking amazing. My intention is to scan 8 years of business documents, just need a plan to organize them for backup purposes. I did manage to scan my dad's novels he wrote on a typewriter in the 70s and 80s for him in record time. Tha alone probably justified the cost.
I think one major difference/hurdle of java web development and deployment is the fact that you HAVE to setup something like nginx in front of the app server or else you're working on port 8080 for everything. Or you have to know how to configure the app server for port 80 directly and mitigate the security concerns of doing so. By comparison, apache defaults to port 80, no tricks required.
Agreed. I am from Ukraine and after the USSR broke up a "democracy" was established, except the people in charge are basically the same ones who where in charge under the communists. Same agenda, just different pretense. I think it will take several generations to realizes that nobody is going to come and fix the problems.
I did the exact same thing a year back, except for the books. Spotlight for the searching, Dropbox for the backups and an scansnap for the pdfs. It's working great, whenever I want to look something up I just search for the key words and there it is. It's a pity there is no search functionality in the Dropbox site. I don't think I'll part with my books though, but being able to search through them would be awesome.
I don't see why something with a log-in restriction should be in the top posts..
These are going to be LEO satellites (no higher than a few hundred km), instead of GEO satellites, which would make the lower bound of the latency pretty low (comparable to cable or DSL).
Classics are often a function of their socioeconomic milieu. It's harder to identify older books that are more relevant to modern times than the time of their original publishing.

Sorry about the area of Germany -- I was
drawing just from memory from a remark in some
history video. I should have looked
up the area.

I should also add detail to the welfare
economics cost/benefit analysis of the
Baltimore subway system: The analysis
counted the construction cost as $0.
The only costs considered were the
direct marginal operating costs and the on-going
maintenance costs. Still the cost/benefit
analysis failed. Net, in the US it is just super
tough to make passenger trains pay.
There's also the anchoring theory, where the discussion centres around the first number that any party says out loud. So in the case where the company goes first they might offer a low number (for them) which may be reasonable for you but not what you want.

So the way to use that to your advantage is to say a number first, but make sure it is far more than what you think you can get, but not absurdly high. That way if they accept you'll be pleasantly surprised, but if they negotiate down it will be around that figure.

Of course if you're not confident in that, just let them put out the first number and go from there. But NEVER tell them what you are currently getting, that will anchor your salary to what it is now plus a small increase.
They kinda do, the default vpc they set up on new accounts has everything you need to use it without ever looking at vpc setup
All this talk about "reasonable doubt" reminded me of "12 Angry Men" (1), a 1957 movie that follows a jury in its deliberation of whether a man committed murder or not. The whole movie takes place in a single room, with the 12 same actors, yet it manages to be captivating throughout. Really a great piece of cinema.

There's even a relevant xkcd (2).

I'm optimistic about satellite internet done right, but I'm worried the speeds and lag are going to make it a bit frustrating compared to fiber. In 5 years (when this will be completed), I think virtual reality will be penetrating the masses. Can satellite internet handle virtual meetings, virtual online gaming, etc without major lagging?
What I meant by 'mechanical parts' is not spaceships, but actual mechanical parts, like that you're going to send to a 3D printer or a 5 axis CNC machine.

Blender is actually good enough to handle this. Not as well as things like Fusion 360, obviously, but for simple parts, it works.
This reminds me of the first time I took LSD. I ended up at a hippy coffee shop with a Canadian soccer player (also tripping) playing a game of chess with the goal of losing.

It’s hard to play to lose! We ended up having a long conversation with a bearded man who kept telling us he’d been where we were.

Of that I have no doubt.
