Havard Course Online: Justice: What's The Right Thing To Do?
Do we really need these for every multi-page article? I mean, on this one in particular you read down to the bottom of the first page and see:

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | SINGLE PAGE

Clicking SINGLE PAGE even puts us at the correct position in the single-paged article! When I saw the link though, I couldn't help laughing to myself and thinking, "I should be one of those karma dudes who posts 'Single Page:' as a comment." Then I checked out the comment thread and here it is.

Who votes these up? Don't we all know by now that clicking the "Print this article" or "Single page" link on a multi-page article will transport us to that magical single page?

(In case you're wondering, I didn't vote the parent down.)

I think their open graph protocol is a little simpler and easier to use than rdf/microformats -- I think they were aiming for simplicity over completeness. You can represent pretty complicated structured data with rdf/microformats. Sometimes simplicity wins over completeness. See http://www.jwz.org/doc/worse-is-better.html

Maybe, but the circumstantial evidence against Ivins is far more damning that anything they had on Hatfill.

> Ivins had been the sole custodian of a large flask of highly purified anthrax spores genetically linked to those found in the letters. He had allegedly submitted purposely misleading lab data to the FBI in an attempt to hide the fact that the strain of anthrax used in the attacks was a genetic match with the anthrax in his possession.
Your own personal experience with Facebook just isn't relevant when comparing it to 400-500 million people.

I've seen comments on here that people doubt Facebook is as strong as it is. For young adults Facebook is synonymous with the Internet.

I'd be interested in the numbers as well, but the whole idea that because most of us on here don't use it, it can't possibly be doing as well as everyone else says is pretty silly. It's like Avatar, yes it did gross almost three billion dollars world-wide, and yes it's not the greatest movie in the world but the money and in FB's case the userbase speak for themselves.
C++ and C++ development are hugely different from Java and Java development. If Java and C++ don't look very different to you, it's because you need to take another look at C++. About the only thing they have in common is their hideous verbosity. You can write C++ as if it were like Java, but you can write C++ as if it were like Haskell, too. Given the question, "What mainstream language is most like Haskell," the answer is C++. Unlike Java, C++ is actually capable of sidestepping its limitations.

That's true. But there's still a syntactic cost and a cognitive cost to making useful abstractions that can be much less verbosely and more comfortably made in other languages. And I find myself going with less clean designs because of it.

Most digital camera enthusiasts may meet the situations that deleted the photos inexpertly for example the camera fell into the toddles hands.

Actually these are some ways you need to know for SD card recovery and Photo recovery.

Here's the thing. Helvetica is indeed awesome. But it fits into the design of US currency about as well as an Eero Saarinen table fits into a Victorian living room.

If we're going to have Helvetica on there, we need to go full Modern. The old Dutch Guilder notes (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/48/5_Gulden_...) might be a nice place to start.
I am the sort of person you are talking about (distrusts FB) and I do what I can to make others realize how evil they are.

Chances are they won't really check the address. Why not just put a fake one?

You could also look for a mail forwarding service in the jurisdiction.

Giving you a proper answer requires that we know more details– are you expecting that somebody will want to take this site down? Or is it a potentially valuable domain?

Another solution is registering under a local's name and address, and have a contractual arrangement with them limiting their rights.

You could also set up a corporation, and run the domain with the corporation. It all depends how safe you want to be.

Well, maybe upgrade for free, with a time limit, and an email saying "if we don't hear from you in x days, we'll shut 'er down."
It would be unusual for Apple to spend that amount of money to essentially shut down a company. ARM makes all their money from licencing their designs, so this rumor is saying they will close down their income stream and turn them into an in-house chip design company.

It would take a while for this to have any effect anyway, because I suspect that most ARM manufactures have licence agreements that protect the upcoming Cortex-A9 designs (NVidia Tegra 2, TI OMAP4 etc). The Cortex-A9 should be good enough for a couple of years.

Longer term, there are good alternatives to ARM around anyway. Atom is making good progress, and Loongson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loongson) could be an option too. (The idea that Loongson could come to dominate the market is so ironic that I think Shakespeare would rise from his grave and write a play about it)

While probably true, they get ATI for free (from the AMD purchase :-)
One aspect of lisp that I love the most is the "map" function. Arguably, many languages have it now and the infamous Google's map/reduce was inspired by this :-)

Also, Lisp has been used in many A.I applications, natural language processing, and of course, I believe this little company called Viaweb (founded by one of the HN users, pg, I think ;-) used lisp to their competitive advantage.
we (and when I say "we" I mean "you" because I'm not from the US) should be more concerned about the un-separation of church and state and less about the design

It might make more sense to skip AMD and just get NVIDIA. It would put them in an interesting position with Intel and Tegra seems like some hot tech these days (at least based on the headlines I skim it does).
That checkbox is one of the first things I reached for when trying out Chrome recently, and when I couldn't find it I went back to Firefox pretty quickly.

It's kind of a shame - because there's no widely-available, attractive fonts for web pages, authors must specify ugly fonts. Because authors specify ugly fonts, people who have attractive fonts installed have to configure their browsers to use their font-of-choice and ignore authors' suggestions. Because authors' font suggestions are ignored, the minority of authors who go to the effort of using WOFF and picking out attractive fonts have their effort wasted.

Maybe one day the authors who care about typography will specify good fonts, and the authors who don't will leave my chosen defaults alone, and then I'll go back and tick the "allow webpages to choose their own fonts" box again.

Based on this other URL:

http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=ruby%2C+drupal&l=

and some clicking back and forth between the "Absolute" and "Relative" scales... I don't know what to think. The "Relative" numbers make no sense, so I wouldn't trust them for any purpose whatsoever. "Percentage growth: 375000?" I wish I could erase those graphs from my mind lest my subconscious be tainted by the memory of a single pixel.

Someone needs some unit tests, or perhaps a math teacher.
The only truly new and interesting thing about this is how big Facebook is.

That trend is relative. Here it is in absolute terms:

Ruby started out with hardly any postings, so its relative growth is astronomical.
Another element of the buy-vs-rent-home issue that I think is important but it rarely mentioned is the whole illusion of "owning" a home.

In my lingo, if I own something, I'm done paying for it. I paid for it. Done. Now it's mine. I don't have to KEEP ON paying for it. In the typical "own a home" scenario, even after a mortgage is paid off, you have to keep right on paying for that house each month/year. At a minimum, you have to pay home ownership taxes. Notice you do not have to pay ongoing "just because you own it" taxes on most other items that you own. A computer. A book. Clothing. Once you own them, they are yours, you don't need to keep paying for them.

But if there's some fee an external entity is essentially forcing you to pay, either directly or indirectly by threat of force, then you do not really own it. You are renting it. The key question is if you were to stop paying a certain fee whether some big mean people will come and take it away from you. If that's true, you are only renting it.

Arguably the OA is about comparing one kind of renting to another kind of renting. There are advantages to each, but in both scenarios you will be paying for the home for the rest of your life. And so will the next "owner", and the next, and so on.

There is no spoon.
Me too. That post was detailed & fair. On slicehost I had a 256MB slice which I upgraded to 512MB slice to host 2 small websites. After the post got a 360MB linode VPS instead and am very happy with it.

Not really a question. The trend has been going on for years now.
All the new dollar bills seem like they were designed piecemeal, with little thought as to how they coalesce into one image. Independence Hall is cut off on the right by the giant 100. It's not cut off on the left. Who cares about symmetry?

The back of the $20 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:US_$20_Series_2006_Reverse...) looks like a child took a highlighter and drew 20 on the bill dozens of times. There's no discernible pattern; it looks like noise.

The front of the $10 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:US10dollarbill-Series_2004...) has three things going on in the exact same place. Look at the seal on the right of the bill. It also has TEN written over it, and We The People in the same spot. Is it harder to counterfeit if you can't read it? It simply looks lazy to me.

Is this a widely held view? I'd like to understand the logic, so a reference would be appreciated.

This makes me think of a little side project I've been chipping away at called InstaCDN.

It makes it easy to minify, combine, gzip and push your css, js and image assets into the Amazon Cloudfront CDN with far-future expiration headers. It also automagically detects background images referenced in your css, and puts them in the CDN. It rewrites the css to use the new CDN image urls.

It's all done through a trivial REST API.

Would love some feedback, and to find out if/how it's breaking any of your complex css/js.

My own take a few years back - http://jobalytics.tamersalama.com/
I was in this same camp a few months ago. Then:

1. I reached a critical mass of friends where every time I was on I could click on "Chat" and see a few friends on.

2. I started chatting with a Facebook "poweruser"[1] who said she was going to "teach me how to be cool" by using Facebook better.

3. Partly thanks to (2), I started updating my status a few times a week, whenever I had something interesting[3] to share.

4. People started commenting on and "Like"ing my status updates.

5. I realized that it was pretty cool to be able to connect meaningfully[4] with people in a way that I couldn't before.

I love creating and building things, but social interaction with people I enjoy is just as important to me. Facebook is an invaluable tool in that interaction, just as a great IDE is an invaluable tool in programming. Just like an IDE, Facebook is most valuable when you are using it to its full potential. If you don't have a large number of Facebook friends and you don't use Chat and status updates, it's easy to miss the point. Perhaps you've experienced the difficulty in explaining the benefits of emacs or vi to an Eclipse or VisualStudio user?

[1] I was at a Taco Bell one night after my friends and I left the bar, and somehow we started talking to a girl and her friends. I walked them home, she got my name, she added me as a Facebook friend, and now we chat on Facebook a few times a month. If not for Facebook, I probably would have never seen her again. That is what makes Facebook relevant, the ability to create new (and keep old[2]) connections that weren't even possible before Facebook got huge.

[2] Just tonight I was talking to a friend on Facebook when another girl said hello to me, a girl that I was good friends with a couple summers ago but haven't seen or talked to much since. Now we're probably going to meet up tomorrow night to catch up over drinks.

[3] For certain values of "interesting"

[4] With Facebook-as-it-is-now, it is possible to tell people that you are barely friends with, "I appreciate you and I'm glad to be friends with you," simply by Liking or commenting on a photo, status update, or shared link. It was hard to do that in the past without being drunk or creepy.

What does that actually do? All the description says is that it saves you bandwidth.
Example: at the beginning of the time period there was 1 Drupal posting, and now there are 3751. Each increase of 1 represents an additional 100% growth over the original, so you have 3750 * 100% = 375,000% growth.

A poor way to measure rapid growth, but that seems to be their system.
In terms of keeping track of my events, I use twoschedule (http://twoschedule.com). It's sort of shameless plug because yes, I created, but I created it because it's how I wanted to organize because it works. I'm way too busy to use any sort of traditional calendaring application—I need to focus on what's important now and what will be important next. Twoschedule does this perfectly and it's done wonders for my organizational sanity.
