Bollywood Movie Calendar 2010: Bollywood Movie Release Dates August 2010
There are so many movies released worlwide and some of the films reaches as highest-grossing films level. Here is the latest list of Bollywood Movies going to release in August 2010. This movie calendar is updated regularly with announcement of new movie release dates. Some dates may also change as films get postponed for various reasons.
How exactly is this service better than, say, a simple text file on my own machine with a daily reminder set up through some other means?

Why would I want to use some third-party website for something so simple that I might as well do it myself? I can see some pretty annoying downsides (need to have a crypto layer because I don't want you to be able to read my journal, need to export regularly the data to my own computer because I don't want you to be able to lose my journal), but no real advantages (it's not even more convenient!).

In any case, I believe that the two following statements, at least, are plain wrong:

- "The easiest way to write your life story": no, the easiest way is to fire up a text editor and start writing.

- "Only you can see your entries": should read "Only you and us can see your entries".
To experience the sexist things, you would first have to enter the industry, though. I somewhat doubt it is a good explanation. Also, is life in CS really so unbearable for Stubbornella and other women?

Facebook's complexity is much bigger.

Your personalized news feed and what you can see depends on the settings of all your friends and those friends.

Reddit is just a simple forum site...
I wish we could at least have the attitude in the UK that talented people coming to your country is a good thing... During our last national elections the hyperbole against any kind of immigration was astounding to me (as someone who employs and has employed people from around the world).
If they truly have to handle a massive amount of traffic with only four people, a service like Amazon is a pretty good deal. It makes it trivial to create, clone, archive, or upgrade servers, and you never have to worry about drive/CPU/motherboard/RAM failures bringing down your site at 3 AM.

As someone who's worked in a data centre before, I can say hardware problems only increase as you scale up. We had around 350 servers with an average of three drives each, and we probably went to the data centre to swap dead hard drives on average three times a week - SAS, SATA, or SCSI. Nevermind the time I spent testing motherboards, swapping CPUs out, etc.

Owning your own servers means dealing with maintenance and downtime. Virtualizing 10 servers on one physical server is great until that one physical server's RAM starts acting flaky, and then you have to take those 10 servers offline, or shift the VMs onto your other hardware.

Renting your servers typically means paying a monthly cost for the hardware, including RAM and disk, long after the fees have paid the DC back their costs.

For Reddit, being able to bring N extra nodes for X purpose (mysql, cassandra, web serving, etc.) with a few clicks in a few minutes is likely a huge draw for them. It means they can grow gradually (instead of having to shell out another $10-20k for a new server), and it means they can dynamically adjust to meet their needs. For example, if Monday is a busier day than Saturday by a significant stretch (and if their architecture allows it), they can bring more nodes online early Monday morning to handle the load. Take them offline until Thursday evening to handle the 'It's Friday, to hell with doing work' rush I'm sure they get, and so on.

I don't think somebody studying medicine ends up being a nurse. Not the women mentioned here either. I suspect Stubbornella simply didn't check many numbers.

For example, maybe because a lot of women are working in people facing jobs (secretaries, receptionists), it distorts impressions. Meanwhile, the men are shoveling shit in the backyard. At the same time lots of men and women have "better" jobs, but they are not as visible. So the impression is "women tend to become receptionists".
There's a difference between a physical response to withdrawal and a physical requirement to live. As far as I'm aware there aren't any addictions that change your physiology to the degree that you have a permanent dependency (would be fascinated to know if there are any though).
Who are you to decide what others cannot do? If I want to drink wine occasionally (which I do) or take drugs (which I don't) and I don't cause any harm to others, I don't see why I shouldn't be able to.
Research always implies not knowing... If it's already known, there is no need to research it.

However, it also implies wanting to know. The consequence of your comment seems to be that we should not research because we will never know and that goes against the entire body of knowledge collected by Humanity over the last 10,000 years.
I don't think Reddit is doing it now (since they said their boot process is not automated) but there's a lot to be said for spinning servers up and down according to demand. I'd be curious what Reddit's utilization graph looks like. There may be times when, give smart load monitoring algorithms, they could run at 2/3 the number of servers, or even fewer.

Even without that, keep in mind dedicated servers have investments in hardware management. That's a huge cost. Plus, when you're a fast-paced company, the ability to move quickly is invaluable, which EC2 definitely does allow, but dedicated does not.

Even without that, managed dedicated servers are still often more expensive. Rackspace costs $420/mo[1] for their cheapest dedicated, which is roughly equivalent to 2 small EC2 instances (~$140/mo). The Planet has a similar(ish) machine for $184/mo[2].

As far as I know (I don't own iPhone myself), what you describe is called unlocking. Users resort to jailbreaking to install non-AppStore applications. Jailbreaking is different from unlocking.
Umm, quite interesting till the last paragraph:

"The reality is this: Big American companies may never rehire large numbers of workers. And they won’t even begin to think about hiring until they know American consumers will buy their products. The problem is, American consumers won’t start buying against until they know they have reliable paychecks."

I'm not sure they is any link between hiring US workers and what US consumers are buying. I mean plenty of stuff is made my Chinese workers that is purchased by American consumers. Why couldn't it go back the other way?
I am male and I would consider the people you describe to be unpleasant, too. Either I didn't encounter that many of them, or I did a better job ignoring them than the average woman. It's not as if you have to put up with that kind of behavior (when was the last time you were FORCED to join a D&D game??).

Thanks for replying!

I live in India so I can't help you out in 2 & 3, but I can help you to develop the content. The thing is that I went through pretty much a program like this in my high-school. So, I do have a few observations and experiences that you might like to hear.

for e.g. I think that you're making a mistake by starting them off with Arduino. Kid's unless they're really fascinated by it will get bored and won't pay attention if they don't see immediate results. It takes too long to make stuff out of raw materials and Arduino isn't a gentle introduction at all unless you use a kit, which doesn't make financial sense. A better choice would be to start with Lego and let them outgrow it.

Allow the older kids to hack it a bit (Lego NXT is opensource) and make their sensors etc. for it and write code for it in the language of their choice. Whereas allow the 12-14 y/os to play around with lego and make mistakes until they get a hang of stuff and then move on the quick learner to the second rung.

After they've exhausted this paradigm then move them on to Arduino. Now, they should be more receptive to the concepts you're about to propose and they'll love the challenge instead of fearing it.

Can you email me at yesthisisananonymousid on gmail? I would love to thrash this out with you.
The core Rails APIs are mostly the same, though you'll have to basically rewrite a couple of files in config/. I'm currently porting a moderately large application from 2.3, and few of the remaining unit test failures have anything to do with the Rails core.

Your biggest problem will be that a number of third-party gems have been heavily updated for ActiveSupport 3.0, including RSpec, Devise and Mongoid, and these may cause more headaches than Rails itself. Figure a few days of updating stuff and staring at unit test failures if you rely heavily on these gems.

Of course, all bets are off if you use a lot of dodgy, unmaintained gems that heavily monkey-patch Rails. We have a pretty strict policy against using dubious minor gems that stick their fingers deep inside Rails, after some bad experiences over the past couple of years.
Rather than pointing out where it won't work, how about finding places where it will work. The northeast, for example, is densely populated and the major cities are close. The real problem is building straight tracks so trains can go 200mph.

I'd say "bad enough" is usually judged individually case by case.

If somebody decides that their biggest goal in life is to sell as many condoms as possible as a traveling nightclub salesman in order to add to the total amount pleasures felt by mankind, they might consider a habit of getting drawn into reading HN in nightclubs much worse than a habit of getting drawn into grabbing a drink from a hip flask.

Basically anything that yields pleasure (or suffering) can affect the way you perceive and evaluate things and make immediate choices in your life. I think this is the basic mechanism of mental addiction. The results of this mechanism can be either good, bad or somewhat of both.

I think it's only matter of semantics whether you wish to call things like wanting to take care of your children an "addiction" although they are usually personally and culturally perceived as mainly "good" behavior. I think we culturally attach a nuance of negativeness in the word "addiction" but I don't think Paul's essay really depends on that cultural assumption.

I think he is looking at the issue more from the side of the perceiving individual and you are trying more to define some objective measures and semantics for addiction. These are both valid points of view but in my opinion very, very different.
Wow, I didn't notice any of this. My only problem is that I can't understand how I can see my past entries on the web and if there is a web interface for posting to the journal.
I have some design comments.

How about mouseover states for everything that does something, buttons, links, the three top of page links etc

Couldn't understand the -0+ rating system quickly enough. Actually going back to it I can't understand it at all and don't want to give it any more time figuring it out.

All type rendered in Museo via typekit is very ragged for me. I think most of it would look better via cufon.

Overall very impressed, both with the concept which I think has a lot of value and the design.

I think a lot of men actually stay away from technology both for the same "cultural" reasons as women and because of the lack of women. I know you generally start college earlier in the US, but when you get older you start thinking about what friends you'll spend your life with etc. When you're 23-25 the prospect of spending 5+ year in a quite homogeneous environment can be unwanted.

This might be a complete misconception, but I've gotten the impression that American twenty-somethings are quite childish. And with people attributing Israels startup success partly to youths "growing up" during military service (which I don't recommend), mixing things up seems like a good idea.

This is not aimed towards your comment, but I've notices that a lot of the time when non-technology and especially social science topics comes up here at HN. Everyone seem to disregard research and suddenly becomes experts based on what they feel. It's quite obvious that most people here aren't going to be experts in sociology or women's studies.
Agree with that. However, what would be a good way to show connection with Flickr, as it is a Flickr focussed site, without infringing on trademarks etc?
The entire body of knowledge collected by humanity over the last 10,000 years is one of war, famine, and neglect for others. We can do better.
I'd prefer to donate their organs to science/living people who need them more.

This is neat, and I'm sure the tradition behind it is interesting, but there's far more useful things to do with the dead.
The biggest two for me are massive performance increases as well as unobtrusive javascript.

Now, I haven't done any specific benchmarking with my apps yet, but the upgrade from ree to 1.9.2 seems to be fairly large from every benchmark I've seen, as well as Rails 3 itself becoming faster, due to the Merb influence.

Unobtrusive JS is awesome; I never used Rails javascript helper stuff because I prefer jQuery to Prototype, and just wrote all of that stuff by hand. Now I can actually use helpers.

Full HTML5 support is also nice, though I guess haml was already doing that for me.
Yep, I'd sacrifice myself if that was what was asked instead. The reason I mentioned "killing a random person on the street" is that it's more informative - it sets a higher bar for the required world improvement. My morals say that killing someone else without reason is strictly worse than killing myself, so there exist possible world improvements for which I'd agree to kill myself, but refuse to kill a random person.
This is a good point. In many cases, you sate desires with the substitute, you neglect to get all the additional long-term indirect benefits. Some examples: exercise vs. liposuction (exercise is Social, discipline-building), breast milk vs. formula (receiving formula instead of breast milk gives higher risk of certain types of cancer for reasons still unknown).

Consider "want to want" as "would do in the limit of complete knowledge, infinitely fast thought processes and perfect self-control", i.e., reflective equilibrium. If you had perfect self-control then you would choose to breathe, but not to play World of Warcraft.
So you're the kind of guy who admits he doesn't know, and then doesn't do anything about it. That's fine.

But there are people who readily admit they don't know, but will do research to find a solution. You're not in that category - that's okay - but at least realize that most entrepreneurs/hackers are in the latter camp.
You point is analogous to the idea of sales and marketing in start-up culture. Essentially how do you prove that this multimillion dollar deal was the result of the person being "fresh" rather than the product itself etc. As far as I know if you're being flown out as a sales rep already, you have to be an utter asshole for the customer to change his mind. The product/engineering teams are the ones that actually have to impress them. In all honesty when a company through a rep wine and dines a client, the rep wine and dines themselves.

Yes, going 'gold turkey' can induce a heart attack which in turn can cause you to die:

The 'workaround' is to reduce drug consumption slowly or to use a surrogate (in the case of heroin methadone is usually used).
Check your firewall, the websocket doesn't use the port 80.
By the conditions of PG's dilemma, I'm offered the power to choose between two possible worlds, nothing more, nothing less. If I could remove alcoholism without removing casual wine consumption, of course that would be preferable, but this choice isn't on the menu of the thought experiment.

Any world I choose will make some people better off and other people worse off (that's inevitable), but not in equal degrees (fallacy of gray - thinking that all gray is the same color). While making the choice, I don't have a strict deontological prohibition that freedom of any single person must never decrease, all else be damned. If saving one person from extreme harm requires reducing the consumer options of two other persons, I go for it. It's a matter of balance, you have to weigh all the consequences, not just the ones that affect you.

To disagree with my original comment you'd have to believe that a world with alcohol is truly better than a world without. I don't think you believe that. To determine your real opinion, imagine you're given the option of introducing another new addictive substance to the Earth's population. You know in advance that it will spread worldwide, such-and-such percentage of humans will be affected, and such-and-such percentage will lose everything they had and die miserable deaths as a result. To counterbalance that, some other people will have fun using the substance casually. Would you introduce the substance? How is this different from introducing alcohol to a world without it? And how is that different from choosing one possible world over the other?

Never underestimate Intel when it has decided to focus on a market.

Intel has money, and its strength in semiconductor architecture engineering and process technology. Eventually, x86 will be ARM competitive. The real question is, will it be in time to catch Apple?

The problem here is that to bind the websocket to the port 80 they would need to code their whole sites in node.js (with no reverse proxying from nginx and the likes) or at least make a reverse proxy in node.js and use it as front-end.

Crawl Error Spikes Spotted With Google Webmaster Tools
Whatever cognitive differences there are between
the sexes, I think they're very minor

This is not about the cognitive differences but more about what we are attracted to. Men are attracted to stuff (and abstract stuff), women are attracted to relations.
Addiction limits our ability to choose our actions. If faced with a choice between being addicted and not-addicted to something, a rational person will prefer not being addicted. Therefore addiction is bad.

Oxygen is not inherently bad. Dependence on oxygen is bad.
If you don’t teach it or write it down, the accumulated knowledge of your career is gone. Yeah. Keep your knowledge in a working memory. Keep your tools sharp. We learn by doing and so on..

Add to this that in an IT field things are changing so fast, that you need a constant daily learning to stay in a shape.
Just add perma-death to WoW (and some incentives for not just grinding, but risking your virtual life).

But that won't suit the bottom-line of Blizzard.
I never claimed there was no physical component to addictions or that withdrawal symptoms can't be very bad.

It's just that it is possible to end all existing addictions (alcohol, drugs, Facebook, etc) and still live, but no one can end the "addiction" to oxygen and still live.

That's why it's unreasonable to compare breathing to addiction.

Digg Vs. Reddit: The Infographic
Ask HN: How Do I Get Math?
I just graduated out of high school and I want to learn loads of stuff in math, but there's a problem. I don't get it. Where I live it is expected of me to mindlessly crunch questions and output solutions by rote#. Practice is an important part of learning anything, and I know that I have to put my hours in. However, I need to understand why I am doing what I am doing.

Proofs of key concepts are like magic to me. I can follow the logic, but I cannot derive them on my own without seeing them before hand. I know that I lack understanding somewhere down the line, but I don't know where. Moreover, I don't know how to cure it.

I don't want to just rote up stuff. I want to appreciate the beauty of what I am learning, but I simply don't know how.

Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance.

# Most teachers tell me to practice in order to memorize "problem solving techniques". I don't want to do that. I want to see the logic on my own, follow it through and think about what I am solving. I want to see stuff for what it is, and engage it on that basis.
