Android is 100% open source. Things like Maps are just third-party applications that you can install as it pleases you. (And yes, I did install those apps after replacing the OS.)

I love the idea but I'm really hesitant to sign up for such broad categories. What would get me to sign up would be allowing me to enter keywords like:

Physics, Austrian economics, marketing, Ruby, Android, Spanish fiction etc.

I'd be fine with those even if the newsletter only had one book in it or if it came only once every couple months as new books were released. As it is, getting a newsletter with all fiction or programming or science or business books in it wouldn't be much better than sending spam with random Amazon links.

Great idea though and the site looks really nice.
Can Linode instances occasionally randomly be killed like EC2 instances, or do they offer stronger guarantees about uptime?
I am an ENFP too. I've heard that Isabel Myers (one of the creators of the MBTI) was ENFP, and I wonder if she optimized the test for our type without meaning to, making identification more accurate than for other personalities.
Provided you can afford the impractical degree or you don't mind the debt to get it, then no, they're not. The problem is that people are investing tens of thousands of dollars into degrees that won't return anything on that investment. I've heard the argument that such an investment is not in money but in making one a more well-rounded person, but I've personally never understood paying so much for knowledge that can be gotten for free with the internet and a library card.
You misunderstood the intent of my possible continuation of the original post. I was not trying to invalidate it, but just noting what problems might (and do) arise.

I totally agree with all the article says. Caching in general and especially memcache are awesome, but as always it's a trade off. What you get in performance, you pay for in complexity
I understand that point and I agree. What I'm saying is that upon reading the article closely, I noticed he was primarily promoting the "view infinite as arbitrarily large" technique for dealing with the appearance of infinity.

Example quote from article:
"Interpret the problem as saying that the width of the capacitor is so large relative to its thickness that you don’t have to worry about edge effects."
Doom for the iPhone is available on the App Store and it's been GPL'ed for a long time.

There are probably more examples. The GPL is not incompatible with the App Store.
I don't generally explain my downmods, but this one may be worthwhile: That is not a valuable addition to the conversation. Do you think there's a single reader who hasn't already heard that a hundred times? That's just flashing a social signal about how you're in the non-lazy, non-stupid "us", and aren't "them" stupid and lazy? There's quite enough of that on this topic, we don't need more.
The iPhone is pretty much the only cellphone I know of that you can’t buy unlocked in Germany.
One word of caution: sometimes when an instance becomes unavailable (think network partitioning), all its EBS volumes will become unavailable as well. You can't snapshot, you can't detach. My most frustrating experience on EC2 yet.
I like this. Can you give more information on the origins? E.g. in what country/language is this proverb? What's the original language text?

It is wiser however to open a bakery in a street where there are none but a bakery is needed.
This is the point where people from my neck of the woods (Ontario, and, frankly, most of Canada) suffer severe cognitive dissonance. We have two very different post-secondary tracks, and around these parts a "college" in colloquial parlance is a diploma-granting institute aimed at providing students with marketable skills (technicians, technologists, accountants, nurses who have no aspirations to teach nursing later). The programs may be two or three years, but they are all identifiable by their practical applicability. (The full designation of such institutions is "Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology".) Quite apart from that, we have the Universities which, apart from a few professional programs (medicine/dentistry, law, etc.), come with no promise of applicability whatever. (And even professional degrees are merely preparation for practical situations that will eventually lead to real certification. A BEng degree doesn't make you an engineer, a PEng certification does, and so on.

The point is that, from my perspective, more people should probably be going to college rather than to University. It's not that we don't need thinkers, but that we need more thinkers that can translate thought into action.

Probably it was more common in the days of the peacetime drive (1953-1965?) but various NFL players had been in the Rangers (Grabowski) or had been jet jockeys (Max McGee). Rocky Bleier was not in an elite formation, but did have to recover from wounds received in Vietnam.
Yes. You can delete keys. But you need to know the name of the key. You could not use some kind of tagging ("these keys are related to component A" and later "invalidate all entries related to component A")

Using memcaches expiration is what the article does. But I was referring to the requirement of real-time data. If the source data changes, you might want to see the new data and not have to wait for the caches data to expire.
I don't understand why people have opinions of themselves, let alone why they have negative ones. If I'm not good enough for YC, I'll apply and let the YC people tell me. Why would you reject yourself?
There are 494 posts on the blog, and they're mostly organized chronologically based on what I was working on at the time. Probably about 50 of them are about SEO, and only 28 are categorized. I could track down the rest of them, but I don't have the patience to weed through a hundred posts from 2007 looking for where I initially described my core SEO strategy.

I don't need links from SEOMoz -- I just want an outline that I can refer people to, because the experience of trying to find specific topics in my blog is terrible.
Knowing personalities is certainly essential. But, I think if you want to find that out, it's better to interact with them and form your own opinions and talk to others who've done the same. Using a 4-dimension set of binary states (just to pick on MBTI here) will only tell you what you could have found out faster, cheaper (there's an industry around these things), and without making the person feel like a replaceable part.

In an interview situation (where you have less time to decide than building an internal team), that could mean going through hypothetical situations and finding out how they would solve a problem, having multiple interviewers, and checking on references. Having them take a personality test beforehand sends a signal that as an employer, you're not willing to take the time to get to know them, which starts everyone off on the wrong foot. Also, IANAL, but it sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen.

_why actually proposed (on a few separate occasions) that there should be more computer books in the 80 page range. More like the Poignant Guide or Nobody Knows Shoes than a dead-tree, slow version of Google.
Pincus talked on Charlie Rose a year ago about wanting to build a lasting company as opposed to being a serial entrepreneur. I actually love that sentiment, but also think it is hard to differentiate from his current goal: going public.

Wall street investors will value this company very differently if it appears to be a fad that will have momentary glory (and revenue). That said, wall street tries to value a company's current AND future revenues (with an appropriate discount for risk and earnings out in the future) -- so Pincus is trying to get them to believe it is building the bedrock of a company that will last a hundred years.

Right now Zynga is a revenue rocketship (even if you don't like the product, people, or business) that will make Pincus and all their employees wealthy. Pretty easy to get people to work there with those prospects. The sustainable business will be the work of the next generation of employees after first 1000 have vested and moved on.

I wish them the best, but wouldn't count on them being a great stable business in 5 years. Tastes change and the best employees will have long since have cashed out.
> Scaling depends a lot of how much data you got, how much data you generate and how much you plan to grow.

No doubt, but 37Signals shouldn't have a lot of relational data. The bulk of their per-project bytes, it seems likely, is non-relational stuff like attachments.

> Given the size of Basecamp and 37 Signal's future projection I doubt it would be wise to hope that they can scale vertically

Isn't it less wise to pay a cost you don't yet need and may never need to pay? You pay a significant price in development velocity by forgoing a relational database and using a non-relational data store. Certainly any reasonable organization should be able to project when they will actually need to pay that cost.

> big sites with millions of users

Single digit millions of users isn't that big.

> and tons of data should not scale vertically (it can't payoff and at some point they'll hit the limit).

It can certainly pay off if you never actually need to convert to a non-relational data store. The limit is a lot higher than you seem to think: banks and financial institutions process billions of transactions for hundreds of millions of users daily on the same ACID, relational data stores that you're saying a site like BaseCamp will hit the limit of. I don't buy it.

I disagree. I think being able to install any .apk file I want from any source on the internet is a clear benefit of this openness.
Probably because they couldn't convince people that it was magical.

Why did the iPhone run at such a low resolution while Windows Mobile and Android phones were coming out with 3x more pixels? Yet when they increase the DPI game slightly, brand it as a Retina Display, you think they're innovative?
I've spent roughly half that on single pairs of Shure headphones, and while I like the sound quality, I recommend avoiding them, because the cables are of very low quality. Jason probably doesn't wear his headphones out in the Chicago winters, but I do, and every pair of Shure's I've bought (I think I'm up to 4) has ended up with frayed cables or cable/driver connections.

Shure has an amazing replacement policy (it's basically no-questions-asked) and I like the company and the user experience, but losing a pair of $200 headphones every 6-9 months isn't acceptable.

I've been using the Ultimate Buds (what a terrible name [for headphones]) versions of FutureSonics FS-1's and Etymotics; in both cases, UB swaps out the OEM cable with Apple's vastly superior version, which has the added benefit of working as a handsfree with my iPhone. I highly recommend these.

It's not hard to see why Shure's high-end pairs are of higher quality than the low-end pairs; the 530's have more drivers than the 115's.

I found it interesting that the exception was not for Javascript, but rather for WebKit in general. "The only exception to the foregoing [ban on downloading and interpreting code] is scripts and code downloaded and run by Apple’s built-in WebKit framework." [from section 3.3.2]. Perhaps Apple wants to keep their options open for other scripting languages in WebKit. I would love to see python and ruby scripting on the client side, personally.
I'm the founder of SEOmoz, but I'd say if you're just learning, you can do it for free. Both SEOBook and SEOmoz (as well as other software/tools/community offerings like WebMasterWorld or Raven) are great for when you've settled into SEO as a marketing practice and need the shortcuts those services can help provide in automation, data and expertise.

To start, though, I'd check out http://guides.seomoz.org/beginners-guide-to-search-engine-op... and http://www.seomoz.org/blog/6-ways-to-learn-seo.

Best of luck!
There are a fundamental rules and building blocks of SEO. From simple things such as definitions to page rank and beyond, it's important to find a way to grasp the basics. SEOmoz and other online tutorials are a great way to start.

Personally, I learn with a "hands on and explain it to me" approach. Combining a seminar series like this http://www.seomoz.org/seminar/series with lessons about what works, what doesn't and why can teach you the basics.

Beyond the basics, it's about experience. The folks who are the best at SEO have a wide base of experience gearing content toward diverse audiences. A combination of knowing what people want and being able to deliver the right message to those people at the right time is as much a part of traditional marketing as it is SEO. After you learn the technical building blocks of optimization, increasing rank, exposure is more about user interaction and traffic.

Experiment with your own content using the help of excellent tutorials like those found on SEOmoz and you'll be well on your way to successfully optimizing pages. You don't necessarily need to pay for subscriptions, but sometimes it will save you time to have everything assembled in one place and presented in one style.

Just remember... it's not about tricking search engines... it's about helping users find the best of whatever they're looking for and for search engines identify and categorize your content properly.
Jesse Schell talk at The Long Now Foundation: Visions of the Gamepocalypse
Correct, these benchmarks are highlighting the performance of an individual cluster compute instance, not a cluster of instances.
I was in a similar situation (I don't know about you, but I'm at a fairly beginner level).

This presentation was a good introduction: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/a-comprehensive-intro-to-seo-powe...?

Also, a great article from patio11: http://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/01/24/startup-seo/
Except that if the Django core developers thought that using Git, mercurial, or github would grossly improve their workflow, don't you think they'd use it?

They may be perfectly comfortable with their current tools - we agree though, this is not a source control issue. It's is a personnel, and social issue. DVCSes are not magical, and github isn't a cure-all.

If the problem is with the people; we have to fix the people, get new ones - not change the tools.
I just subscribed to The Long Now Foundation, and I suggest you do the same. Their speaker series is amazing.

I'm really sorry that you found us to be hostile, and I apologize for any part that I played in that. I hope you believe that hostility isn't at all our intent -- in fact, I try very hard to be open to criticism -- so if you experienced hostility that's a failure.

If you can, could you point to any specific moments -- mailing list threads, blog posts, responses on HN, IRC conversions, whatever -- that you felt to be hostile? I want to learn from my/our mistakes. Please feel free to post 'em here, or if you don't feel comfortable doing private email (jacob@jacobian.org) is fine, too.
Apple Relaxes Restrictions On Third Party Tools
"Apple has a hell of an R&D department. As far as I know, their retina display, unibody laptop manufacturing processes, and touch-based trackpad tech are unique to them. It's been shown a number of times that their touch screens are way more accurate than others, and somehow their battery life is quite remarkable compared to competitors as well. "

Almost everything you mentioned was designed and built by other companies. Apple doesn't design their SoC, they don't design or build their touchscreens, they don't build their cases (though they aesthetically design them).

Which is probably a good thing because they need to focus on their core competencies (interfaces and visual designs), and leave the specialized companies to make the specialized solutions. When Apple tried to take a lead on hardware years back, they fell miserably behind.

Apple barely spends more on R&D than Dell.

Presumably, there are people out there using it for what the things it (was likely) made for -- short computational tasks, temporary processing, or jobs that require lots of computation but aren't time sensitive -- meaning there will always be people who aren't using the instance 24x7.

Still, I wonder the same thing -- actually, whether or not it's possible for the spot pricing to go higher than the on-demand pricing, etc.
Linode is a VPS provider, not a cloud provider like EC2. Instances are always on, not on-demand. If they are ever killed it would be because of some kind of outage but I've found that to be extremely rare in my experience. Slicehost has also been good for VPS.
I'm as free market as they come, but when companies are using a limited public resource (the spectrum) they need to be regulated. The limited spectrum provides a nearly impassable barrier to entry for newcomers and thus competition can't effectively regulate the market.
It depends on the type of business you run. E.g., for newspapers, it can be argued that Google brings traffic to them, if they only publish a summary. For place pages, it's basically destroying the sites, as Google provides almost all the info (including reviews/stars).
It's from Croatia (in Croatian). I have no ideas about its origin though.
Several manufacturers had high dpi screens about 300dpi in phones before Apple. None that I'm aware of matched Apples exact dpi but then again, they had no need to exactly quadrupel the pixel count in the original iPhone while still being roughly the same size.

As far as the aluminium goes Apple has fetishised their materials choices for a long time and had as many hits as misses e.g. "Titanium" paint that flakes off, White iBooks that discolored, white iPhone 4s that they can't manufacture. Others generally don't bother as their customers don't want or need it. I'm not sure Apple users do before they are trained to by Apple.
That's great that you benefited from good parent(s). I wish everyone was equally well off. I think it's OK to allow people to enrich their lives by exposing them to the arts. It's a pittance to do so in comparison to war, a prison-industrial complex, ag subsidies, etc.

EDIT: I should say to allow government to provide people with the opportunity to enrich their lives.
Strong agree on the performance curve for earbuds too. If you can buy it at Best Buy for under $100, your money is probably better spent with something nicer online.

In high-end speakers (hi-fi, whatever you want to call it) there are always sleeper brands that even the audiophiles will say offer an 80% experience for under 50% of the price... I remember (before several buyouts) NHT bookcase speakers being one of those. It's probably the same in headphones.

Please, for the love of God, take my word for this: it's also very much true of cars.
Right, but this relates to a business venture where you can easily spot where there is a market. Thus, it is wiser to enter the market where you are sure there is one than breaking in new markets by yourself.
Isn't Asus the big netbook player? They "invented" them, anyway.
I'm thinking specifically about how the physical and mental demands of NFL training camp compare.

F'rinstnace I was reading on Wikipedia just now that at Ranger School soldiers are fed a very restricted diet that results in weight loss of 20-40lbs, I imagine the NFL guys would consider that counter productive.
I am from Buenos Aires, let me know what kind of places are you looking for.

Sorry for my bad english haha.
> it is still unacceptable

Can you clarify what you mean here? Unacceptable to whom? And for what purpose? Your words imply that Apple has submitted this document to some party or group of parties for review. I don't think that's the case, but I'm open to education.
So then similarly if I wanted to see all the events that I was invited to would I have to loop through all users, all their events, and all of their invitees to see if I was one?

It's funny, I wrote an essay (that I haven't published yet) over the weekend about being a female founder. It has some of the same sentiments as Amanda's post.

It was surprising how little of my advice seemed very specific to being a female.
It reads like one of those PUA sites. I suppose SEO is not dissimilar.
Endow an educational institution with funding to teach the data to students, and a trust fund to pay a stipend to any student who can prove they have taught all of the data to all of their children, and do the same for the children's children. The institution will determine invariant replication through rigorous testing of a recitation of the data set.

The human brain has superior data storage capacity and resilience to any of the mentioned media, and a longer functional lifespan. It can also adapt on the fly to changes in technology and language.

This also makes the data proof against illiteracy and technological collapse, assuming a cultural impetus to memorize the data and teach it to others can be maintained.
Thanks for your feedback. I think that the service as it is works for some people, and it doesn't for others.

That's why my next big feature is going to be adding the ability to follow specific authors, and probably keywords as well. This way people will have a choice. :)
