"The problem is that credit is not a fixed amount due to the fact that it is leveraged" can't be true. How could the amount of credit ever be fixed? Whether banks lend or not depends on whether they can make money lending. That'll never be a constant.

Good advice if you can do it. As a not quite starving entrepreneur I hardly have time to keep up with my life than to write a blog. I did take this advice a while back and kept a dedicated WP blog for a couple of months but like any startup it needs continuous care and handling. Then building an audience takes time, you have to comment on other blogs and hope they swing by and be sociable. With hundreds of millions of blogs, Twitter and FB pages out there you start to wonder if anyone at all will come.
Green Dot: The $2 Billion IPO You’ve Never Heard Of
Do you have a preference on size?

I ended up getting a Mac myself, despite intending not to, but whether I'd recommend it depends on your parameters. Do you lean more towards an ultralight 13" with 10-hour battery life, or a more full-sized 15" or 17" machine? At the 13", 4-5 lbs, long-battery-life side of it I couldn't find anything that beat a Macbook, especially for the same price range (~$1000, which excludes Sony's Z series). But for 15" and 17" sizes, the Macbooks start to look unreasonably pricey ($1800+), and there's a better range of good PC offerings.

Couldn't you speed up loops without annotations by compiling two versions: one that uses longs and one that uses bignums. You start in the loop that uses longs and before an operation that can overflow you check whether it overflows and if so you jump to the loop that uses bignums. This way you only suffer a few extra checks which is a lot cheaper than boxed numbers.

Making Debian Responsible For Its Actions
Because it's implemented as a one-system filesystem, there is no cluster capabilities built-in at the moment. The problem is that building the sort of huge fiesystems the cloud demands means clustering, generally. Of course you can go buy a DataDirect S2A 9900 and you'll have a nice 1PB fs in a rack, however the problem will be there again when you'll need to extend further.

Also, "400% APR" is misleading because it implies somebody might potentially take out the loan and pay it back five-fold a year later, when in reality these loans are almost always paid back either quickly or not at all.

By extension, any time you pay 50% more on the price of something in order to have it one day sooner (cough medicine at a convenience store, food at an amusement park, etc.) you're getting it at an APR in excess of 10 to the 60th power.

Based on the quote in the article, I'm not sure why Cringely would leap to the conclusion that Google is planning on entering the loan business.

Ask HN: Wrist pain from coding?
I recently started pursuing coding seriously (after a year of an hour or two a week).

It's getting wicked painful.

Many languages have separate words for "day" and "24-hour-cycle" ("den'" and "sutki" in Russian, "yom" and "yamima" in Hebrew). In English the word "day" may refer to both, depending on context. There is a word “nychthemeron”, but it's not used in day-to-day speech.

This is so important for 'us', here on HN. Let me try to explain why:

Many here are building SaaS products, and with the SaaS landscape getting ever more crowded we see a lot of SaaS integrations emerge. Have a look at freshbooks for instance. Currently these integrations are usually implemented 'server-side': the server of one web app pulls data from another web app.
If we want to allow client-side integrations, that allows a JS plugin to be loaded from another app, the we need to keep security in mind (as this is on purpose cross-site-scripting). This Caja lib seems to provide proper measures to allow these kind of integrations.

I didn't see the words "bug report" anywhere there. Debian is a volunteer organization, open to anyone. If you want to improve it, sign up and help instead of just ranting about crazy paranoid theories like:

> It's simply a tactic to make sure that you are stuck on Debian.

Of course I'm biased, as I'm a former Debian maintainer, but I think that Zed's connection with the reality of the situation is tenuous, at best, in this case.

Making a distribution is difficult, and doing so with 1000's of volunteers who are not working on it full time (and since you're not paying for it, they don't really owe you anything) and are distributed throughout the world adds to the difficulty, so yes, there are bugs and problems and challenges to overcome. That said, if each author of each package in Debian got their way about the exact location of files and so forth, the system would be utter chaos. If you think your package isn't being treated right in Debian, get on the mailing list, file a bug report, make your case, and get things fixed, rather than treating Debian as "the enemy"... Sheez.
wow, huge success!
>>> Frankly, I don't understand what benefits "synchronizing" offers.

I use synchronizing in Chrome, and the benefit is convenience. I drag a link to a toolbar (for example some bookmarklet), and I see it on another computer, at the same place in the toolbar there. I also use Google bookmarks, but sync is more convenient.
Everything Google do is strategic and usually has little if anything to do with their publicly stated aims. For example, Android, recaptcha, OpenID...

Does he want to be 'fun to read' or fix a problem? Because pissing all over other people's hard work and attributing nefarious motives to them to boot is not a good way of fixing the problem.

> The way Debian attempts to micromanage rubygems is insane and ends up breaking under real world environments. Why do they persist?

Good question - why not do some research and find out?

(BTW, I'll add that there are good reasons not to use Debian's gem packages, and that I disagree with the 'pile-on' downvoting of the parent post, even if I disagree with what he said)

In most cases I have found paper books to be a lot cheaper than ebooks, especially when using Amazon Marketplace.

Intel AppUp: App Store for netbooks
R has certainly gained some traction in recent years, as people have added more packages. It is interpreted so I'm not sure how this will affect speed. I haven't had a chance to use it personally so wouldn't be able to comment.

I know a guy who has a dual processor Xeon machine, each with 4 cores, running MatLab. Once the code was parallelised it zipped along.
Hypothetical question: Now that rvm has been created, would anyone still use apt-get to install ruby even if the latest version was supported?

Sure you could argue that yes, ruby should be installed with apt-get and alternative versions should be handled with Debian's alternatives infrastructure...

I think this is an interesting case in which version numbers are more than just version numbers, they are more like sister projects, and they don't fall neatly into the "conservative and stable" or "bleeding edge and risky" camps the way maintainers typically view different versions.

From the perspective of a package maintainer, if we had to include an alternatives list for every dot version of every package, then the distro would explode in complexity.

Ruby and Python just happened to grow so quickly that their growth didn't immediately trigger the appropriate response from distro maintainers, and very quickly the community worked around the problem.
It is worth mentioning that AppUp will be preloaded on netbooks from several big vendors and that netbooks sold at places such as Best Buy will have a retailer branded version of AppUp preloaded. That means potentially an appstore accessible to millions of users. Whether users will know about it or care is not so certain.
I was looking at a few reliable hosting options recently; here's a few options you can consider too;

- VPS; a few good men are Linode, Slicehost, ServInt.

- Dedicated Server.

- Cloud Computing with Amazon Cloud or Rackspace.

One of my consideration is not to overpay what I dun need. First I look at the bandwidth I am using currently utilizing, do a rough estimate how much it will cost on Amazon Cloud/Rackspace/VPS. Also consider yr long terms options, do you want to go dedicated or in the cloud later on. Cause it can be quite challenging to move the DB and files around later on.
Applied last week. Wait & see :)
I just returned from two months living in a different country, where English is not the native language and any English-language book costs an extra 50%. I can take all my books and buy new ones on my iPad just fine. Now I got home and my house is covered in dust, a large portion of which comes from my books. A large library isn't just a pain to move, unless you have a cleaner or sealed cupboards, it's a pain to maintain in a clean manner.

Other advantages to eBooks that I found: I want to read a book. I don't need to go to the store or wait for it to be delivered - it's there right now; I want to find a particular passage but I cannot remember the book - I can search through the entire library in the time it would normally take me to search a single book; It's dark - not a problem with an iPad.

The drawbacks are obvious, but the advantages are not until you give it a try with a portable device. I bought an iPad, but I'm thinking of buying a cheap Kindle as well to take on camping trips - despite never using eBooks before three months ago. To a certain extent, one can't persuade you that it's a good idea; you really must just try it.
> would anyone still use apt-get to install ruby even if the latest version was supported?

Not everyone is a heavy Ruby user - someone might just want to install a package that depends on Ruby and be sure that things work. Just as they may want to install a package that depends on Java, Ada, Haskell, Erlang, Perl, Python, PHP, Ocaml, Tcl or any of the many other languages present in Debian, and not have to deal with a different package management system for each language on the computer.

> Ruby and Python just happened to grow so quickly that their growth didn't immediately trigger the appropriate response from distro maintainers

It's actually a fairly old problem. Perl and CPAN have many of the same issues. I'm not sure there's a perfect solution.

I'd also like to have something similar like Droid Wall for guarding the positioning information an app can get. I would like to whitelist certain applications who get accurate GPS and celltower positionig information. Others should get only obfuscated or no positioning information at all.

This author is confused about the meaning of "don't be evil". He seems to think it means to conform to a particular morality (i.e., the one to which the author subscribes) in all aspects of business. He probably thinks this is supported by the fact that Google embraces various left-leaning causes (investing in geothermal energy, etc.) when it's not clear that this could be justified in a business sense by the good publicity it generates.

But I think the original meaning of "don't be evil" is much more modest. It means: don't betray the trust of the user. For example, don't sell SEO favors, don't sell the user's info to advertisers, don't trick the user into downloading anything, don't abuse a monopoly position, etc. (This isn't to say that Google hasn't bent/broken these rules.) The fact that Google also supports various left-leaning causes is just a reflection of the fact that an unusually small number of left-leaning people influence the company's decisions.

I think the wikipedia article supports this interpretation.

I really don't think "don't be evil" has anything to do with a particular ideology which might disapprove of pay-day loans or whatever.
But what about those of us who are stuck in a sticky situation? It's not as easy as you claim it is. We can't just "pick up the wrench" and be a mechanic. There's a lot of friction.

I honestly didn't know xmarks existed, I probably missed it because I used to be more of an Opera user before Chrome with only a fleeting interest in Firefox inbetween. Firefox I moved to because of Weave, and I only fully shifted to Chrome when the sync became full-featured. Xmarks may not be able to compete within a single browser, but the killer play is syncing across them.

Having just read the feature list I would happily pay $5 per month for the secure password syncing across browsers.

The bookmarks have a little value to me, but the password syncing has pretty significant value.

I agree with your poiny--but I guess what the author is trying to say is that it's all about taking the first step, and finding your True North. Otherwise, it's pointless in the end.
His ability to grasp tech is missing the instinct that sees those numbers (re: the Twitter UI "bug") and immediately thinks "Oh, duh, ordered-list tag is showing numbers when it shouldn't be. CSS file error. Happens a lot when I use Facebook and static files don't get loaded properly. Not worth writing about."

Not saying that means he shouldn't write, but as a webdev it's easy to see what's wrong with that article.
