This is a great strategy, well argued, well reasoned, but it's, to quote the article, 'so 2007'. Single function is great if you're trying to appeal to business people who have no other need than email, but that's becoming increasingly rare.

I would happily trade all the crappy extra features on my Bold 9700 for bulletproof durability, push email faster than outlook, and a glitch-free interface (all of which it fails on at the moment). But the minute our IT department starts supporting iPhone I'll be dropping my Bold.

Consumer smartphones (iPhone/Android) have become a 'good enough' enterprise phones. No they don't email as quickly and don't sync quite perfectly, but neither does RIM. And even if RIM does get that extra 10% of convenience from email, it still won't be worth losing every other app I use. In addition to email I want maps, calendar, dictionary, news, books, music, and games. What do you think is more likely: will iPhone get better at email, or will RIM get better at... everything else?

Our new class of analysts are all dual-wielding iPhones and BB's, and everyone is waiting for IT to start supporting iPhone so we can finally drop RIM. Will email be as fluid, easy, or quick? Probably not. But it'll be good enough, and I can stop carrying this single-function brick around.
Apparently their idea also has external consistency with measurements.

Gurzadyan and Penrose are saying that there is observational evidence for a particular cosmological model known as Conformal Cyclic Cosmology (CCC). Specifically, the evidence comes from measurements gathered by the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) (a satellite) and Boomerang '98 (a balloon flight above Antarctica in 1998, which also measured temperature fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background).

Specifically, they claim to see the signatures of supermassive black hole encounters in the aeon prior to the Big Bang - these show up as families of concentric circles over which the temperature variance is anomalously low in the cosmic microwave background radiation.

Of course, other cosmological models might also be consistent with the measurements they cite.
Subscriptions are great and we offer one as one of our products. Obviously we have no piracy problems there. But our software is arguably more sensibly delivered as desktop software due to it's cpu and file size considerations.

So while we started with an online offering, users demanded a desktop version and we delivered.

It is easy to assume that because your business is not a victim that those business that have suffered are just not as good at delivery, but I think you are wrong and I would argue that even businesses that make bad decisions deserve to have their IP protected by government action.
You should have stopped embarrassing yourself already.

Your price is not based on supply & demand or market value, but just how bad someone wants the domain you're holding, which happens to be a perfect fit for his product or service.

I've actually managed to personally come up with, and get two perfectly fitting .com's for (two of) the products I'm going to make.

Those two domains consist only of words in English too. One of them is cutesy, and the other is clever. I won't tell you the names, though, because that would reveal my real name. But it really was difficult to come up with the names, because of human scum like you.

If you're a "doer", then I don't even want to be one.

Thanks for playing.
CP+B also did the famous (and awesome) Burger King Get a Whopper for defriending friends campaign.
I don't know. Why did it take so long for touch screen interfaces to become huge when almost everyone loves them?

On the other hand, why are command line interfaces still the most efficient way for experts to interact with a system?
He kind of fumbles on the question of "what is the killer app?" You'd think it would be on the tip of his tongue considering how long hes been working on this...

That said, there really needs to be more open source software to enable this front. I think we will really see some innovation once a hacker can take a $10 webcam and and open source lib and start creating software with these types of user interfaces.
* Don't force anything, have a list of different subjects that you want to learn (Ex: guitar, emacs, emotional intelligence, judo). Study what you feel like in this list.

* While reading, tag you book in interesting parts, but don't break you flow. Have the tags at hand.

* Use something like anki or mnemosyne to dump all your tags.

* Enjoy what you are doing. This is connected to the first suggestion.

* Sleep well, exercise at least 5 times at week, eat healthy, and socialize.
The big reason people do an S-Corp is to avoid double taxation (and to be a corporation rather than LLC while not having the complex structures of a C-Corp). Better than being a sole proprietor. Keep in mind that S-Corps can only have a certain number of shares and shareholders (100?) in one class of stock, so a startup or large corporation can't be an S-Corp and take advantage of the tax benefits. Also, here in California, all corporations (S and C and even LLC) owe tax even if the company's net income is zero.
Interesting usage of a watch. I hope this takes off.
I'm quite positive this was a deliberate joke by GFK_of_xmaspast...
Yet another item to add to my user verification service - which blocks these kinds of things. I like getting my users real email address - and blocking "high risk" accounts
I can't see how Dropbox wouldn't end up getting crushed in this fight. Just recently, they reclaimed all the promo/referral/college storage I had, and shrunk my space from 40GB to 15GB. Pay up $10 per month or lose all your data.

I shopped around, and got a $2 per month from Google Drive. The product is pretty much on parity with Dropbox on the Mac, and works exactly the same way. Yes, I'll take that 80% discount, thank you.
Bill Gates, a hacker? Never. He wrote bad code and marketed it aggressively.
How about contacting local news stations? Seems like an interesting piece for them.

I feel your pain--Comcast is the devil.
Have you looked at Sugata Mitras hole in the wall experiment http://www.ted.com/talks/sugata_mitra_shows_how_kids_teach_t... videos
Seconded. I've been a happy Pinboard user since the service launched. Haven't had any trouble.
Huh? Informationless trading is pretty much the exact opposite of algorithmic trading. It has nothing to with volume, it simply means that you are buying/selling not because you have information that leads you to believe the stock in question is about to go up/down but rather because you need cash, or it's an IPO, etc.

Algorithmic trading is nothing but informational - the whole purpose is to analyze information, detect a trend, and ride it. Add to that quote stuffing and other price manipulation techniques (emphasis mine). It think it's rather hard to make a case that the robots that make up the majority of trading volume have no effect on prices.

I don't know where you get your nebulous is thought not to move prices. Thought by whom? HFT firms and technology providers? Well, duh. They are making a killing in essentially passive income and they are about to get shut down by various regulatory bodies in US and Europe. What do you expect them to say? Of course their party line is, we have a zero net effect on prices, and a positive effect on liquidity.
Is it just me but, even though the information is sent to the DMV and insurance companies, it's completely unenforceable? How is this any different then me just calling your insurance company (assuming I have this knowledge) and saying 'Hey, this guy was driving like a tool on such-and-such a date'. What proof is there? If my insurance company or the DMV did anything with any of these reports against me, I would immediately challenge the veracity of the data.
Also.. not particularly surprising. MapQuest hired one of OSM's community managers this summer. Good to see collaboration and innovation on top of good data.
Good point on vigilantism, but I think it's more than that. This whole scheme smacks of grade school tattle-tailing with the worst of everything about red-light cameras. You can't face your accuser, and there's no frazzled teacher who you can tell your side of the story to defend yourself with.

It's a seriously flawed system and I hope no insurance companies adopt it.
The title way oversells what the article delivers.
How is this better than spinning up a free Heroku dyno to serve your node.js app?

Heroku's free service is more limited than it was in 2012. Current policy: "Heroku comes with 750 free dyno hours for development use. Beyond that you must pay for what you use."
I'm adding a lot of common words to the blacklist right now. Expect to see an update shortly!
A nice write-up that explains this code is available here: http://www.pagetable.com/?p=764
For Amiga demo programming with 68000 assembler, this video tutorial series is great as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p83QUZ1-P10

I wish I could send these back in time to my teenage self.
There were a lot less tutorials, they tended to be for Linux/Mac, it was rare to find windows installers, some python libraries didn't work at all on windows without some seriously complicated compiler knowledge.

It might have been easy to go php > ruby, but C# > ruby meant massive amounts of pain or complety changing your environments. While my company at the time had VMs, they were all windows and it wasn't a case of simply spinning up an EC2 to play. The pain of leaving a MS stack was massive.

I'm using ruby/python a bit interchangeably as I was.playing with both, but even things like gem took a load of effot compared to now. Like a couple of days of fiddling doing nothing interesting, not programming but constantly hitting errors or tutorials not working as you'd got a step earlier in the chain slightly wrong. It was a huge barrier to entry.

The worst tutorials claimed to be for both windows and linux, but would link to an out of date windows installer and all the command line commands would be for linux. I once made the mistake of thinking I'd write little maintenance scripts in Python instead of VB, it was great until I tried to connect to a MSSQL environment, ended up in a world of pain.

Last time I span up node.js on a new windows computer it took me like 10 minutes. Everything has changed.
Just don't be surprised when everything turns into a walled garden.
But as you point out, the IETF and NANOG have openly documented how to set up hotel wifi that doesn't suck. It doesn't take any technical experience whatever to hire a WiFi firm and instruct them to set up a system the same way that the IETF did it.
Free dynos shutdown every hour when it's not active.Starting up can take next to 10 seconds.Furthermore it's a free service,I don't think people should abuse their generous offer meant for testing purpose. There is no guarantee they will continue offering free dynos forever.

Some people got burned recently hosting mongodb servers on a popular Saas that used to provide free mongodb hosting.Now that Saas is paid only,and though they aren't deleting existing test dbs,they could choose to do it at anytime.

One shouldn't consider free offers fit for any production purpose.

Like you wouldn't use free domains for a production app would you ?
Reminds me of Go Pro IPO
https://g.co/finance/GPRO:NASDAQ?window=MAX

And to a lesser degree, Fitbit, which of course was bought out.

I'm guessing Peloton will follow the Go Pro IPO trajectory.
The numbers I get from mine match the power company’s daily numbers almost perfectly.
Seems to me this is more of a religious thing for one such as you than something with objective purpose.
I learned that the radiant heat in the bathroom floor used very little electricity compared to heavy-hitter circuits like hot water, so it wasn’t worth adjusting the thermostat schedules and give up comfort.

We use it to keep an eye on how much energy we use for grow lights in the greenhouse.

As a bonus, the electricity usage of the well pump is a proxy for water level in the well.
I don't know about residential. Seems mostly to be a plaything.

But there is big potential for this in industrial settings. Imagine being able to monitor machine uptime around the clock by sensing amperage usage.

Tracking cycle time by counting cyclic spikes in current and putting it on a live dashboard.

Detecting motor degradation by sensing increases in amperage required over time.

Calculating energy consumption per pound of commodity part produced.
> Second, HTML over WebSockets is nice, but what is better is reactive data binding over the socket. Let the browser maintain a DOM tree that templates over a JSON object, then reactive-ly update and it's an amazing experience. You have minimal data transfer, and minimal rendering updates. There is a great deal of power in having your UI be a stateless function over a giant JSON object.

I think a lot of the "best-practices" for SPA is trying to do this. But as streaming the data transfer is not yet common, the data is abstracted as a giant JSON object to be a parameter of the UI as a stateless function (React+Redux/MobX/etc, Vue+VueX). When enforced correctly on the project level, what's complicated _is_ syncing the data to the server. I think you'll like Supabase's subscription approach to reactively bind the JSON for the client.

I think a separation between the info-web (document-content heavy) and the app-web (needing stateful data sync) will be more clearly defined in the next few years. Nobody likes trying to sync data between the client and server over HTTP calls; we just have to wait for streaming to be the norm for the app-web (and native apps, ofcourse).
I haven't tested it specifically (I tried Gatsby), but it should work! I'm a Nextjs fan so I might try to tackle SSR in a future release
AMD's competitive mobile chips are bit different; higher TDP, higher core counts. Not ideal for a thin and light machine.
Collaborating with the free sample store gets them more business than if they don't and others do, but less than if no one did. So "If the stores really didn't want you doing this, they could just not give you a free sample" doesn't really work.
> One thing I didn't find on the website was a way to get an email with the actual data that was leaked so I can evaluate what's at stake. Showing it online would be poor privacy but sending it to the email should solve that.

Not it would not solve that since HIBP would have to store that data (which they currently don't) and thus might be subject to leaks themselves.
This is just modularisation though. You can modularise without microservices. Microservices solve a scaling problem, not a design flexibility problem.
Isn't that really a particular type of capitalism (sometimes called "free market capitalism") that has been popular with politicians since the 1980s? Not capitalism in general.
It's more about branding than choice. For example BMW is a brand, they pour all their branding energy into their overall brand and each car is just a model number: 3 series, 5 series, etc. Toyota is a brand but it also brands each of it's cars, for example the prius is a very well marketed and focused brand.

Both these marketing strategies work, the question is in android vs iPhone which strategies there are working. I see the droid brand being handled much better by verizon than the android brand is being handled by google. In the end the mind share may be droid vs iphone, but then it's not a software or hardware company that owns the brand, its a network.
Should be there!
I used that all the time. Saving an entire webpage as just one single file with all images and resources embedded was a terrific way to archive pages and resources in research. Of course pdf was works great too but you lose the flow of a browser.
> Statistics show otherwise. WOH employees spend more time on task and produce more.

Obviously not, or we'd be all be forced to work from home if it really saved businesses money.
Some fantastic pictures there. 50905348768 is stunning.
It seems low because Bitfinex has a literal money printing machine that the New York AG doesn't care about as long as they get their kickbacks in the form of fines.
Yes but that’s not what the parent meant but in a money making way, and that has been something big companies realized a long time ago and capitalized on it. The general trend has been to create attractive gardens, get people used to them then raise up the walls. In the end even open source has stated to make a bit less sense to its creators and maintainers who are people and need to eat too
that aren't much more simply explained by Apple being something of a laggard when it comes to implementing web standards?

Which is my complaint. We only just got WebGL, still no UserMedia, Fullscreen APIs. It's disappointing to say the least.
Thanks for the link, it's excellent. I've never seen that many things that are true on the same page.

As tzs said, you basically have to have someone(s) restart the system and re-enter they key.
Wow, this went from inspiration for entrepenuers, to 'my favorite movies' list real fast...
I'm 26, I did not take time off during college to travel, and I strongly regret not doing so. I recently convinced my girlfriend to take 2 unpaid months off work to travel with me (Aus/NZ). She was very hesitant when I first brought it up, but now she is 100% happy that she did it.

I recommend taking time off as soon as possible. That way, when you return to college, your current classmates will still be there for 2 years while you meet your new classmates. Taking time off after college may also be an option if you are confident in your ability to get a job without the support that a senior might get from the career office.

Having said that, you should be sure that you will be happy spending so much time apart from all of your close friends (if you plan to travel alone). You may want to consider just a semester rather than a year.
What if we use our Yahoo login with delicious?
> what is the sensible way to use some vast number of credit card numbers to enrich yourself?

Selling them. At 5$ a piece they will make 375 million dollars. People who buy them are then most likely to use them for this kind of purchase, where it might be hard to get caught.
I love reading software patents.
From the article:

32. Of the patents Microsoft threatened Barnes & Noble with in the past, Microsoft has only sued Microsoft on the ’780 patent. Barnes & Noble denies that the accused NookTM and Nook ColorTM devices infringe any valid, enforceable claim of the ’780 patent. The ’780 patent appears to cover nothing more than placing a loading status icon in the content viewing area of a browser. In that patent, Microsoft concedes that loading status icons and content viewing areas of a browser were both known in the prior art. The prior art placed the loading status icon outside of the viewing area, but it is nothing short of obvious to place it in the content viewing area (since there are only two locations for such an icon—either in or out of the content viewing area).
It's a public key, you can perform the "brute force" (factorisation) entirely offline, to derive the private key. Hypothetically. For now, RSA-1024 is too expensive to crack, for mere mortals.
I don’t think you could get a better written article and demos here. Excellent job, a true piece of art.

I think a second part or another thing to talk about that is often missed is weirdness with nested element transitions and inherited transitions on elements. Can be a bit to wrangle for beginners and get to feel smooth.

Besides that, thanks for the resource. I will point this to many!
> I think it's not an unreasonable take that if a user has let Google know it doesn't want to be tracked, that Google shouldn't track them with any of the technology they have.

So the same people saying Google is a monopoly would say they must then further abuse their monopoly position to stop Google Analytics from tracking specifically Google Chrome users in incognito mode?

The only correct outcome of this case is for those involved to realize that a browsers' "private browsing" mode is referring to a completely different type of privacy. It has nothing to do with whether Google Analytics is present in a website. Unless they want to rule that websites can't track users at-all (and what does that even mean?) when they're browsing in private mode (and how would they know?), but that would be omnibus legislating from the bench.
Private-mode browsing has to just go away. It has always been misrepresented about what it does. Even the one, narrow use case it was originally intended for -- hiding browsing history from other users of the computer -- it never did a very good job at. Its continued presence confuses and misleads people, as this article demonstrates. I imagine the only reason it sticks around is so developers don't have to face the "bad optics" of removing a so-called privacy feature.
There are a lot of crappy trackpads on crappy PC laptops, but the ones on the high-end laptops are quite serviceable even if not the ideal version that Apple created. With a serviceable trackpad, the other benefits of having a PC over a Mac tend to far outweigh the trackpad (for people that value what a PC brings).
PIP also has pin-on-top feature, I believe letting you place the video in a corner over an expanded, in-focus application.
Supply, demand and reputation.

This quote is the most telling to me: “I want to work in the anime industry for the rest of my life,” Mr. Akutsu, 29, said during a telephone interview. But as he prepares to start a family, he feels intense financial pressure to leave. “I know it’s impossible to get married and to raise a child.”

He knows it's impossible to get what he wants in life, as an animator, but he still wants to do it for the rest of his life.

This isn't the case for most of the "jobs" that people are mentioning in the comments here, like people don't dream of being "cleaners" for the rest of their life, but there are other reasons why that might seem like their only reasonable choice. Lack of other marketable skills, probably being the most common. For cleaners, it doesn't even require that they can speak English, just that they can do the job they say the can.

My personal theory on anime, as that's the specific subject of the article, is that if there were a much lower supply of competent animators and the animations were more expensive to purchase, they wouldn't be so popular, people would find other things to do/watch, etc. Which really boils back down to supply and demand. It's not as simple as "people demand anime", but more something like "people are willing to pay $x for y hours of time watching anime", where services like Netflix (or more specific to the subject of anime, Crunchyroll) charge some small amount per month and give access to hundreds of seasons and full movies. If the masses had to purchase each season or episode individually, I'd suppose people would be watching a lot less or pirating a lot more.
Has anyone done a pricing comparison between borgbase, rsync.net, AWS S3, and Wasabi for offsite borgbackup storage?
Trying to BS me. I don't mind a bit of creative resume padding here and there, we all do it. However, don't lie to me and say you are an expert in something when you've done little more than view an introduction YouTube video on it. I will call you out and it will make us both uncomfortable.
Is there any other car in history that can claim anything like that?
