It's a little weirder than literally no representation. Puerto Rico, like the District of Columbia, has a non-voting representative to Congress. (This is the source of the popular "Taxation without representation" bumper stickers in DC.)

Apple removes Deathgrip test videos
Looks like Apple realized they did more harm than good by throwing other handset makers under the bus, today the cupertino, CA based company removed the Attenuation videos that showed that Apple’s deathgrip issues was not unique to the iPhone.
Yes, but hopefully it doesn't. There was some nasty inflation during that period. It could be worse, it could be better this time around.

I do things like this all the time. Frankly I'm surprised it has taken this long for a solution to come up. Perhaps it's only power users that run into this issue? I'd love to see some data on how people typically use their browsers.
12000 X %473(inflation) = $5,676,000

This is why I don't trust banks. Realistically you would of been smarter to buy capital that could immediately help your situation.

It seems to me bettering yourself as a person with that money results in greater gain.

hmm, so I guess by this argument, if I flip a coin 3 times and it comes up heads, the next time is more likely to be tails...
The textbook answer is to start in a niche. What you need is a large proportion of the market. Aim at a small market and you can be a big fish in a small pond quickly. Then you can expand from there.

Some examples:

Gmail: Google geeks -> well-connected geeks -> all geeks -> non-geeks

Facebook: Harvard -> Ivy League -> all US universities -> etc.

Stack Overflow: Joel's blog readers -> programmers at large.

A good proportion of success stories contain a similar history, and for good reason. It is particularly easy to see why this is so effective by considering Facebook.
Actually I thought the comments were the best part. ("It might turn out like the early experiments in making meth, it works until it blows the shed all to hell. These guys are playing in real markets. Imagine what mayhem they are doing in closed-system synthetic market models. What appears like the graphs above are what escapes from the lab!")
I would prefer Apple's Knowledge Navigator (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5144094928842683632...) or a Sun Starfire (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKJNxgZyVo0). Product for product, they are as real as the Courier.
In my opinion, this is almost certainly not shenanigans, but simply algorithms behaving in ways their creators did not expect. I believe this for several reasons:

1) If you wanted to deliberately manipulate the markets, you'd come up with something less obvious than this. You might even come up with a pattern that is non-periodic or even put a few calls to rand() into your code just to spice things up.

2) If you were doing anything in the markets on purpose, you'd try to be unpredictable. And by "unpredictable", I mean "hard for a human to look at a graph and guess at". Once you trade predictably, the other guy can exploit you.

3) I've come up with trading strategies myself that generate "crop circles" in simulation. It's never on purpose, and I'd certainly never be permitted to put such things into production.

Sometimes algorithms behave in ways you didn't expect. For instance, you might compute a quantity f(t), place a buy order when f(t) > 0.5 and cancel it when f(t) < 0.5. If f(t) oscillates wildly from 0.4995 to 0.5001, you will wind up doing "quote stuffing" yourself. Of course, most of the time f(t) winds up oscillating from 0.631 to 0.632 or something like that, and things work normally.

If your system is designed well, some monitoring system further down the line will prevent this. Not all systems are well designed.

Google, CIA Back Same Data Mining Startup
I'll preface this with, I don't have a better solution, so kudos to the FF crew for trying something new. That being said:

I don't find this compelling at all. Do I really want to spend part of my time browsing, by sorting and organizing my tabs into folders?

Did this ever work for email? I'm pretty happy with the Gmail model of searching instead of organizing, although that probably wouldn't work for tabs.
Why Not Go to a Party School?
I think anyone who is in the HN environment has already realized that the people and, likely more importantly, the ability to execute* is the #1 secret in a successful startup. People outside the HN circle don't understand this though. I have friends who are still looking for that perfect idea and then they'll start working on something on the side. I just don't see it working that way, instead you keep working on the side until you morph whatever you have into that perfect idea.

*Execution really is king, but is greatly helped by being smart and fast. Basically if you have all three you can take a whim idea do it quickly and see 'what if.' The faster that someone can iterate through that process the more chances they can give themselves at finding a good business.
from what i read online, concurrency is still a draft, its not implemented and that the killer new feature is its grammar and regex

Save money and invest for your entire life so you can be rich when you are older. I don't know. A lot of people doing this end up spending their whole lives making more and more money, only to realize in the end that they have all the money they need, but very little time to spend it.

Why not spend your days earning as much money as you can, and using that money to do the things you like. So, when you are older, instead of having 1 million dollars in a bank, you have 1 million dollars worth of experience.
It's more an empirical question rather than a theoretical one, and short-read sequencing wouldn't be as popular as it is if it didn't work out most of the time.

I don't have all the exact numbers handy, but 76bp will uniquely map about 80-90% of potential reads, just with single ends. A high proportion of reads can be mapped uniquely even down to 25 or 30bp. There are some 'mappability' tracks available in the UCSC browser if you're curious about a particular region.

http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/hg18/encodeDCC/wgE...

Of course there are repetitive and low complexity regions that can't be sequenced at all with these read lengths, or which haven't yet been properly sequenced or assembled at all even with much longer reads.

I'm not aware of a paper that has fully explicated how read-length and the structure of the reads affects mappability (especially with pairs or reads with multiple gaps), though it's certainly something that all the people building the instruments (and the mapping algorithms) have thought about a quite a lot.
I think you got it. Calling yourself and idiot has huge negative undertones for me. I do understand that smart people tend to undervalue themselves. Trying to convince everybody you are an idiot (or that you were an idiot) just didn't sit well with me.
The lesson I learn from Hacker Monthly: you can make something truly beautiful with content and ideas (articles / comments) out there.

You need to see the opportunity and execute it well. Great job, once again.
Twitter Blows Past 20-Billionth Tweet
The University of Alabama in Huntsville uses NAT for the folks who use its wireless network, or the network in the dorms; everyone on those networks gets a 10/8 address. Additionally, UAH is connected to I2, but doesn't provide any IPV6 connectivity for those who use its I1 connection. :/
No, it's not fine. It's just what's been the focus in more cases. This article addresses the 'downloading' side of things for two other cases. http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2009/09/p2p-download...

I know that my mother (apart from being a teacher, a very normal internet user) also has quite a few tabs permanently open, but that's mostly facebook and similar sites; she spends less time reading long articles than I do.

In other words: This is a problem that mostly power users who shifted all of their reading to the web face. I, for example, now only read about 6 physical books a year, but spend a lot more time reading online. I probably read the equivalent of a small book every day, it's just that this happens in the browser and thus instead of stacks of unread books I have heaps of unread tabs.
Very interesting article, except for the ticket price graph, whose lower limit is $40. Why show a bar graph that doesn't start at 0? It eliminates the purpose of bar graphs - to visually compare the magnitude of values.
But some code really does suck! I mean, really.

I don't disagree that often I fail to understand why someone did something a certain way, on the first reading. But after I understand all the logic, and have run test cases etc., the fact that code is poorly structured, buggy, full of duplication, excess global variables, etc. is sometimes unavoidable. When that happens, I have to conclude that it does indeed suck.
This sounds like a standard spiel that financial advisors at your local bank are trained to give.
Even aside from all the problems with this sort of 'analysis' like using past to predict future, extrapolating from a small data set, etc, the fact that their computation of past returns has no reference to inflation should tell you that you'd be better off listening to someone else.
When I used Firefox I had up to 15 tabs open.

When I switched to Chrome, I found that a few changes in behavior of tabs allowed me to maintain up to about 75 tabs.

When I enabled No More Tabs, (a piece of advice from a recent article posted on HN) I dropped to 5 tabs and I really haven't felt a lot of loss over the change.

When I browse with my iPad, I use 1 tab even though the device supports more.

I suspect the anything related to "tab management" is solving the wrong problem.
One should always hold back un-constructive jabs, but some patterns of suck (ex: c&p vs looping) can be detected and undone even without understanding the entire project.

That said, I sympathize with anyone who is doing iterative client work on an hourly basis, and is called out on re factoring. Explaining the cost and benefit of refactoring work to clients can be a hard upsell, and IMHO helps separate great clients from not-so-great.
Tickets don't start at $0, and the average will never be $0.
Parser spins and spins with no output for me. Have we already overloaded it?
There is a big difference between a business and a startup. And at this point most people trying to start a startup would know the term. So I think the explanation is simply that "start a startup" is not the kind of phrase people would type into Google.
Interesting article. That is probably what I was reacting to. Anyway, I hope you didn't think I was personally trying to offend you.
I'd love to hear the backstory on that!

Any other reddit anecdotes I can share for you? I shared a few on my blog (http://reddit.blogspot.com) during the startup, but we lucked into Chris because he went back to his PHD after doing YC that first summer and had 2 spare bedrooms, which Steve & I promptly moved into when summer ended and PG talked us out of moving back to Virginia.

Chris generally just made us feel guilty for ever needing to sleep (since he was helping us part-time and PHD-ing at Harvard the rest of the time -- oh, and he met & dated his future wife then, too!)

Fair point, not sure that in this case it eliminates the ability to compare because the actually raw $ numbers aren't that important, it is more about the % changes.

With that said, when not starting from 0 a "squiggly" line should be used to make note.
I've been meaning to go through everything I've written and collect the mistakes. IIRC I was wrong about the low end of the age range here. It was also a mistake to advise people to work for an existing co for a couple years before starting their own.

differences in CTR not withstanding, advertising worked pretty well as a long term business model for Google...

Facebook barely scratched the surface of the advertising potential so far - targeted paid ads in streams, a recommendation engine and beating Foursquare et al at the location game are all feasible and likely to be more lucrative than their current rather passive sidebar ads.
>"It’s fundamentally impossible to improve on jet fuel because it would break the laws of physics", pronounced Laughlin. "You can’t have airplanes unless you make hydrocarbon fuel."

This guy's a physicist? The claim is absurd, unless he's rolling economics into the bucket - especially as he's talking decades or centuries from now.
Here's a hint: there's no difference between bookmarks, open tabs (read or unread), and page history.
I actually use separate windows for this purpose. Tabs have been draggable between windows for a while now. Drag the tab off, you have a new 'group'. The system task bar keeps an ordering, so I have spacial recognition.

Also, at one point, I was curious, so installed this plugin so I could stop counting... https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4422/

There's also tree-style-tabs... https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5890/
My non-computer savvy roommate generally has lots of tabs open at once, plus lots of applications open as well (which on a laptop are just system-managed tabs in effect).
A lot of the results look great, like ikea.com, for example. However, trying tougher queries yields no results. Php.net has no results (message still says 500 results found), and the message explains results were filtered for the tag 'php'; clicking "click here to undo this" gives a 404 error. Also, number10.gov.uk, the equivalent of whitehouse.gov for Britain gives a message the site is not popular enough for results. The overlay for "about these results" doesn't have a 'close' prompt, so users who may not be technical enough to try clicking outside the message area would be stuck on that screen. Overall, it looks like it has nice potential. Is there a way to see beyond the top 10 results? The first 10 results for Mixergy.com look great, but I'd like to see more results! :)

Reading was decently nice, but loading was a tiny bit slow and using the rocker instead of the next page button was a bit annoying when reading zoomed-in content. (I'd think that would be better on the K3's d-pad, though)

(I just noticed that some of the text is readable in the whole-page view in the screenshots - on the actual device, it's a tiny bit blurry)
The idea is that you organize it as you go, rather than repeatedly wasting time every time you have to figure out which tab a page is on by scanning the tab bar.

As other people have stated in past threads, there's plenty of room in the idea for automated organizing to be implemented later.
Seedcamp CEO Reshma Sohoni interviewed on Mixergy.com
There is no such thing as code sucking, only code that works and code that does not. If someone said that to me, I'd ask the client how much they wanted to pay me to make it please who ever they paid to review it. A bill usually shuts down inane comments quite quickly. The folly of their opinion is revealed when they don't want to pay to "fix" it because there is no problem.
It is a hook, a clever bit of marketing oneself and I haven't got a problem with that.

I have an interest in a female peer's perspective on our industry. I have yet to work with a female coder and feel my working environment would be improved with a better male to female ratio.
This isn't my entire checklist. The interview wasn't even about checklists. They just stuck that word in the title to get traffic. If you describe something as a checklist, then everyone wants to see what it is to see if they're missing anything. Much like the list-of-n-things.

This is probably closer to what you want: http://paulgraham.com/13sentences.html
I noticed that when they (the OKCupid guys) launched Crazy Blind Date, they limited it to a couple of areas where OKCupid had a lot of users already (Austin, and San Francisco, I think were the earliest launch cities). Of course, they already have a user base...but the idea is perhaps useful, anyway. You can't possibly afford to blanket the whole country with ads, but you might be able to reach a decent portion of young San Franciscans via some reasonably priced method.
We had a quite interesting conversation about NYC at the end but for some reason they cut it off. Maybe the cameras stopped working or something.
If you make 10 dollars an hour and have an hour lunch, cutting 15 minutes off your lunch nets you $50/month. Taking only a 30 minute lunch nets you $100/month.

If that same 10-dollar an hour job isn't picky about overtime, showing up 15 minutes early and leaving 15 minutes late gets you another $100/month.

Show up 15 minutes early, take a half hour lunch, $200/month. On $10/hour, that's not something to scoff at.

Easier to get rich by focusing on increasing your income, rather than saving what you have, if you are on that low-level wage.
I regularly have over a hundred tabs open in Opera.

I also found this part of the article funny, "I found myself abusing tabs. Sometimes I would leave tabs opened for days, just chewing at my system memory."

Wow.. tabs open for days? Try months! Once every few months or so, I go back through my open tabs and clean out the ones I don't care about, and ones that are actually worth bookmarking.

On rare occasions, Opera will crash and get in to a state where it can't restore the tabs I had open. That's a real disaster... but at least it lets me start from scratch with my open tabs.

I would like my tabs to be better organized, but wish the organization could be automated somehow. Even bookmarking sites and organizing my bookmarks is just too much of a hassle sometimes (though I do do it with some really important stuff). With open tabs, I rarely bother.
Pretty much everyone doing "real" trades will look at things like VWAP (volume weighted average price) rather than just the pure bid/ask quotes because everyone knows bid/ask might not reflect the true market value. Indeed in many circumstances you may well be required to benchmark your trades against something like the VWAP to prove you're acting in the best interests of your client (getting good deals rather than pushing deals to your favourite brokers who give you the largest kickbacks).

Some exchanges do in-fact prohibit such actions by having fill ratio requirements (a certain percentage of your quotes have to convert into done deals) or minimum quote times (your quote has to be dealable for at least x milliseconds before you cancel it) and just kick off anyone who breaches them.
Actually I just checked HM #3 on PDF and looks too small on the kindle, barely enough to be read. The three column layout makes the font too tiny. I didn't realized I had an epub version of #2 (converted to kindle format using calibre), which can be read perfectly.

I have taken some pictures as example :

#3 on PDF, vertical layout http://i.imgur.com/6w80g.jpg
#3 on PDF, horizontal, with some complex graphics : http://i.imgur.com/RfeUH.jpg
#2 epub, horizontal layout, smallest font size: http://i.imgur.com/c39gL.jpg
OkCupid sets all of those up with match questions: you answer a given question, and mark what acceptable answers your "ideal match" would choose. The match percentage is calculated by comparing your answers to the other person's "ideal match" acceptable answers, and vice versa. The friend percentage is only calculated by comparing your answers to the other person's answers. But the set of questions themselves is the same, which means your "friend percentage" with someone can go up if you both like to be tied down during sex, or want to have babies, when these issues are clearly more relevant for matches than for friends.
delicious API? Why not just say so?
From the article: "bottom line on this one is that users click OK. Well we may or may not be able to trust users to read the screen before they click OK, it is not appropriate to paint this as an Android security flaw. What it really is, is a human security flaw. Therefore the hype is invalid, as this fact about the human condition has been known by almost every living being for hundreds of years."

I am not an Android user, but as a general computer user for years, this section annoyed me. The problem is that users frequently suffer from warning fatigue. After you see that screen 30x, you just don't see it anymore, no matter what it says. There are way too many people who don't take human factors into consideration when they design security features. Humans aren't robots. They aren't infallible. Even the best of us screw up. Software needs to be designed around that concept and provide multiple safety mechanisms and methods for notification. I'm not saying it's easy, but surely we can do better than just slapping a bunch of text into a dialog?
I'd love to see how you're doing with monetisation and of course other stats that matter like downloads and social media mentions etc. Could you please start adding en extra page dedicated to how HN Monthly is doing.. throw in some graphs etc? Your call :)

Among other things it would add a curiosity element among the readers.
In college I had a side gig for a blind EE student who could not get a particular electronics book in Braille. So I would read chapters onto cassette tapes (yeah, '80s!) for him to listen to.

There were many equations and such. I also had a stack of semi-soft plastic sheets and a rubber-padded clipboard; drawing on the sheets with the rubber underneath allowed for finger-parsable drawings.

Whether to attempt to an audible version of an equation versus making a drawing was the big decision. It was faster if I could read an equation, but I wasn't always sure I was getting it quite right. OTOH, having a large stack of "etchings" was not so good either, and the details had to be marked well enough to feel.

I asked the guy once how he could "see" computer screens; he said there was a device that had a matrix of a bazillion pins that was used to create an image of the screen for him to run his fingers over.
