This is pretty great actually, nice job. I like single purpose sites like this.

Couple of things:

1) Maybe just show the box score instead of "click for details". Its not much detail, so it seems pointless to require the extra click.

2) Is it possible to see their previous games from this week? With MLB especially its easy to get 2 games behind.

Looking forward to you adding the other sports.
Mine:
1. Loose lips sink ships
2. There is no deal until a contract is sign, and then once a contract is signed, no deal until the check cashes.
3. Have a good attorney
Probably depends on the idiosyncrasies of the individual items e.g. ones that already support VP6, Matroska and Vorbis would be a better bet than ones that stick closer to the MPEG family of standards and whether they've ever added a new codec or codec profile in a previous firmware update.

Vorbis, despite never really hitting the bigtime seems to be present as a default on all the cheap "mp3" players, even when the don't mention it on the box, so with Google's weight behind it I think it'll be in all of the next generation of similar products.
Well, at least when it all comes crashing down, we can call it "Disaspora".
Does this imply that nobody uses the "I'm feeling lucky" button?
It sounds like each server is single-profile, though perhaps the server could be shared for a household. But if you want the true privacy of Diaspora then yes you would need to host your own Diaspora server.

They don’t use canvas, just a lot of divs and javascript.
It's implemented with javascript and html, but they're using Flash for sound.
I've no friends, so I'm just playing two-handed.
Try it for an extra challenge..
I'd take #2 unless you feel you can play a role in tacking down #1's business structure because it sounds like it will likely need it.
I wonder if it'll show on the stock market...
Like it, although for some reason, the autocomplete isn't working for me. If I type "Yankees", the box fills in "yankeesk Yankees".

Any media box worth its while will support Matroska for semi-obvious reasons so it shouldn't be grouped with VP6 and Vorbis, which are much less likely to be supported.
At some point I would like to blog about it but right now I am under the gun to deliver a product so I'm writing a lot more code than english for the next few months.

In a nutshell I use Postgres for the relatively static data and Cassandra for the very high volume transactional data. I use Redis for ad-hoc data structures and some caching. The natural fit means I'm not jamming de-normalized data into a relational database for performance reasons. Hope this helps.
It works on the iPhone too. Type in the address in Safari, then click Classic mode at the bottom of the screen. ^_^
I found a bug... collected a pill as a previous one's time allotment was ending and it didn't register in the game.
They just tapped into an area -- crafting, artisan designers, etc. -- that was underserved by the market. eBay's client won't recognize these types of vendors as much as they seek out stuff like major commercial brands so the selling capacity was likely limited.

I don't care for etsy as a customer but it's a great company from a business standpoint.
I took the time to visit the website and he says, 7.8% is the ratio paid/free of the current accounts they have, but there is a but, they are not offering a free lifetime account. So, this is why the ratio is high as the people who just wanted to try will get their account removed after 30 days.

In fact, this ratio may only increase with the time for such offers as the number of paid customers will increase over time but the number of new signups may start to plateau.
Thanks!

1) Are there more details that I should add? I'm hesitant to add more noise to the page, which is why I leave it hidden, but if enough people want it by default, I'll definitely change it.

2) I am storing the scores for each game I've captured, so it's definitely possible. I'll put it on the list of things to do.
If anybody's curious about the source, here's a reformatted version:

great love it !

but I didnt saw the "Show the details" before reading the comments. Maybe you can put it in red or underline..
That's UserVoice.
There's nothing really all that interesting here until this mess gets hashed out in the courts; it's all academic (and legal) for now.

Nobody (that matters) is going to aggressively move to VP8 prior to that; you'll get the usual lip service. Or you'll get ignored. Or both. Until there's some standing and some idea of the patent landscape, any commercial entity (with money to move forward, which is also money to lose in a patent tussle) will be making an investment that may get the company either nowhere, or sued.

If it proves unencumbered, VP8 would put a ceiling on MPEG-LA and H.264, and thus the patent holders will undoubted get to tussle this in court.

If encumbered, you'll either pay or you'll be blocked depending on what the patent holder(s) want.

Apple has H.264 in hardware. They'll either ignore VP8, or it'll take multiple replacement cycles or a software work-around to get a new CODEC out. And given that Apple already has H.264, they'll likely be disinclined just because VP8 is not Better Enough to warrant the migration effort.

Either way the tussle ends, we'll know VP8 is in the clear or not. Odds are that there are patents. But until the legal tussles end and the CODEC is unencumbered or encumbered and licensed, it's all academic.

Fake Steve Jobs: Why I'm Switching to Android
If you want an easy way to add more greens to your diet, try a green smoothie. Just blend together a bunch of frozen spinach+banana+apple (my default), or spinach+banana+frozen blueberries (tastes chocolatey for some reason...), or whatever combo of leafy greens+fruit you want. It tastes awesome, and it makes it super easy to get a pound or more of greens every day.

Has anyone actually felt noticeably different when going healthier, though? Or is it more a long-term thing? I went from a pretty average lifestyle (macaroni and cheese everyday, and no exercise except walking everywhere) to a super healthy one a couple years ago, but I can't say I feel any different. [Though I haven't been objectively measuring myself in any way.]
Every time I go back there it's worse. Sometimes I read a thread on the main reddit and it's virtually incomprehensible.

I've been somewhat weary of taking supplemental vitamins ever since reading this study that indicates taking supplemental antioxidents may "undo" some of the benefits of exercise: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/8043456.stm

Of course there are always going to be new studies suggesting this and warning against that, but it's just a constant reminder that no one really has a full understanding of what the hell is going on in our bodies. And that makes me hesitate to spend a bunch of money on man-made supplements.
well, in a second times yes
Cool, that's fun. Could be more fun if I wasn't an Indians fan :( Where are you getting stats from?
Not at all. Vitamins are something you need to take in. Eating less of anything won't give you more vitamins.
I don't know why people are down-voting you. I shouldn't be that confident. Steve Jobs did reply to someone asking him about VP8 and Jobs just linked to the x264 author's post about VP8 (http://www.macrumors.com/2010/05/21/jobs-responds-to-googles...). However, I think this situation might be different.

MP3 and AAC had better hardware decoding support than Vorbis. That affects Apple a lot. Theora (to my knowledge) doesn't have chipsets made for it. On a mobile device, you kinda need hardware decoding for both processing time and battery life. With Google's weight behind VP8 and Vorbis, Broadcomm has committed to implementing it in their chips. Qualcomm is also on board with WebM. So, that might assuage Apple's concerns.

In terms of patents (which is one way Apple argued against Theora): I think this situation might be different as well. First, it looks like it'll be implemented by a large number of rich companies quickly (Google, Qualcomm, AMD, Broadcom. . .). When people pushed Apple for Theora support, who was implementing it? Who has implemented it? Few. Having lots of rich companies in the same boat means more people to to defend against patent holders. And, to be fair to Apple, I don't really know of mobile devices that have implemented Theora. It's nice to have someone else go first and prove that it can be done. I mean, from what I know, Android doesn't support Theora. Anyway, with the weight and excitement, we're likely to see patents come to light, if any, sooner rather than later.

Plus, Google wisely put a clause in the license saying that you lose rights to their patents if you take action against anyone using WebM. If there's enough weight behind WebM, it's going to be hard for people to pass up access to those patents. If WebM becomes web video, you're not going to want to sue a WebM user and then potentially be permanently banned from playing in the web video game. Think about it: 5 years down the line Qualcomm, Broadcom, and other chipset makers decide they can save a lot of money implementing WebM rather than MP3/AAC/H.264. Most web video has gone WebM. It's what people support. Then someone comes along with a patent. They're not going to want to be excluded from being able to push video to the millions of devices out there that are WebM devices.

But yes, I shouldn't be so confident. I think I've made my case that Apple is more likely to support this than previous free stuff, but you make a good point.

Just to clarify, they do have the CSS-based animations, since they're WebKit-based, but they're just not hooked up to an underlying hardware-based implementation.

I'd like to see a box score when "Show the details" is clicked. (As opposed to the line score. I note some are calling what you now display a "box score.")
It might help ... maybe happy people can make a bit of a rally.
Google is replacing the need for the "I'm feeling lucky" button with their auto-complete system. It's the same effect as the button but is shown in the auto-complete field while the user is typing.

This has the same side effect for Google regarding ads as does the button. Although if a user wants to be taken directly to website ABC they prob aren't a good audience for ads.

How is it crazy? A trader takes a short position on CDOs. They find a way to go further with that short position by driving up the amount of toxic debt in the market and betting on that. There's nothing to limit the amount to which they can short the market because they've figured out how to hedge their risk and make a small profit as long as the bubble stays up. That's essentially what many of these hedge funds managed to do.

And of course, that's what they're paid to do - they're just good at their jobs. Which is why there's a larger issue at stake here about what constitutes ethical trading behavior in modern markets, and I think this is part of that discussion. It's completely inaccurate to say that short bets are wrong, because as you say, they are so crucial to keeping liquidity in the marketplace. At the same time, to take a position that you know for a fact will drive the bubble up to be larger, to fall harder, well - are you completely irresponsible for the consequences of those trades?

When you get right down to it, this is why regulation is necessary. This is why we have referees in sports - nasty behavior is encouraged and necessary in competition, so there needs to be some sort of line to say what is in and outside of the realm of acceptable behavior. And the boundaries of what is and is not acceptable are always changing. Rules aren't static in baseball and football - they change as people figure out how to play within and around them and change strategies.
what's the difference between a box score and a line score? Sorry. I'm not really a baseball fan. :)

Edit: Thanks to wikipedia, I realize that you want player stats for the game. The feed I get doesn't include them, so I'd have to use another source.
Hey Joshwa, thanks for the tweet-vite, I'm glad to share.

Etsy is successful, ultimately, not because of some putative secret sauce (though we do have very powerful and unique behind-the-scenes tech).

We are successful, ultimately, because we are providing tools that support and enable the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of people, help their artistic and creative achievements be seen and recognized around the world, and subvert the common shopping experience people have to add a personal connection to the creators of the goods they buy.

If anyone were to identify a similarly unmet need, another ignored and under-served community, and created a place online that had a positive impact on the lives, they would also succeed. What "business model", which metrics or revenue streams make sense, depends on that community's characteristics, and it doesn't have to be complicated or some sort of trick.

That all said, it's of course crucial to have reliable, flexible, scalable, rapidly evolving technology behind you. I have been working here relentlessly to get our team to the point where we are free to innovate as much as we can. To be honest, there is already abundant information on the web and elsewhere about what works, and what doesn't; it's not really a mystery.

But you need the resoluteness to actually execute on these best practices, and the courage to innovate even in the face of occasional mistakes.
* Redis is a lot simpler and more dynamic since it isn't intended to solve petabyte problems or used on large clusters of computers. An example, you can play with Redis online: http://try.redis-db.com/

* Redis is much easier to understand, since Redis is a key-value store with rich datatypes (such as lists, sets and hashes). Cassandra is a database paradigm shift build to solve Google scale problems.

* Redis perfomance is similar to memcached - and memcached's perfomance is pretty amazing.

I would only pick something like Cassandra if I had to store a lot of data on a large number of computers. If I wanted to do something fast and I know that my data won't grow to terabytes then Redis is a very good choice.

I have been skeptical of the whole electric car movement because of 6 reasons. 1) Running the AC heat or cooling really sucks that longevity. 2) Car wrecks could become more horrendous because of the acid. 3) Battery pack replacements are extremely costly. 4) Need more tow trucks fitted with charging kits to help out. 5) The entire economics of the thing just isn't worked out. 6) Are these cars actually green, or would they, in whole, including their destruction, cause more harm to the environment then help?

However, I believe in Elon Musk, an incredible guy, have a desire at least to see this company succeed, and Tesla's goals are noble goals. So, I'm very happy that Toyota saw the benefit and decided to invest. This means that Tesla will succeed for sure.

I agree on RPE, but the data on the Inc. website is highly suspect, however, with regard to number of employees.

I did a random sampling of several companies that had tons of revenue with just 1 or 2 employees and checked out their websites and the Inc. data is flat out wrong in many cases.
Yeah, that seems non-commercial.

One suggestion: After the initial team search, it would be nice to be able to browse the teams or games somehow. I liked the surprise of the score and description, and it would be cool to easily browse or view a random game or something like that.

Actually, its a watered-down reinstitution of some Depression era measures. It cannot and will not prevent future financial crises. It represents a colossal failure of vision on behalf of the leaders of both parties.

It fails to address the most pressing financial regulatory concerns (Glass-Stegall), creates ineffective and burdensome new requirements for businesses (Consumer Protection Division), and fails to alter the basic incentives that encourage investment fraud and shortsighted thinking (Compensation based on annual returns.)
From what I recall of the book it made it sound like the rating agencies were incompetent and the investment banks exploited this weakness to get their CDOs of crappy mortgages rated AAA.

I agree that it is amazing that these organizations still exist after having arguably been the main cause of so much chaos.
I guess because what's there works reasonably well for most people as it is? Geeks compare what they have to what's technologically possible, normal people compare what they have to what they used to have or to what others have.
Are we talking devices in people's pockets, or devices being sold right now? Because the former must overwhelmingly be baseline (just iPods and iPhones alone ensure that, and even the recently released iPad only does Main, not High Profile so it would be a surprise to see the upcoming iPhone 4G leapfrog it and totally fragment the platform), the latter will soon have WebM support and there will be a transition point in between.

(btw on the OMAP3 in existing devices supporting WebM, the TI rep answered someone's question on their blog with: We are working at the moment on supporting VP8 across all our OMAP products and we will contact you directly with a schedule for your products based on OMAP3.)
Aside from no sound, it works on the iPad. They seem to be handling touch events (swipes) for movement.
Hmm. Interesting. This gets a little tricky, because in a few hours, I'll start getting "in progress" and "pre-game" in the feeds, which means you'll end up seeing "They play the Padres today." Therefore, I don't currently use today's game, but the game after today. I'll figure out a way to fix this when I get a chance to do all the other things. :)
Seems to me that Toyota recognizes that government is among their biggest threats. To avoid this, it tries to make itself an insider by hiring citizens. This makes it hard for government to hurt Toyota without hurting its own citizens.

My problem with them is data entry, which google wants to let me take care of with my droid (and I'd love to). I have used search on a cable box exactly once because it was as much of a chore to enter the query and sort through the spectacularly awful search results as to scroll through all the channels trying to find what I wanted. And yet, every time I actually have something in mind I want to watch, I wish I could use an easy and decent search function. Then theres the possibility of hulu style "channels" which still give a buffet, but you get to stick to the sushi section of the buffet instead of having no discernible organization.

Lots of what google is trying to do has been done poorly and in half-measures before. A good implementation with all of them together has a ton of potential.
