The premise of RWDWS is flawed by assuming that the secondary market in stocks is 'free'. This book was published in 1973, and after the 'analytic' schemes of the 1960s (and continuing in the 70s), it had obvious appeal. What it did not account for was government manipulation of financial markets through (de)regulation. For example, the Monetary Control Act of 1980 and the expansion of IRA coverage under ERTA in 1981 opened the flood gates to the securities markets and intensified the Ponzi-scheme nature of securities 'investing'. Prior to the publishing of RWDWS, it is reasonable to claim that the stock market was a arena for transferring risk, not pretending to be a savings institution. Something else to bear in mind is that there are little or no real alternatives to 'funds', and this exaggerates the influx of capital into them. The idealized view of stock and bond trading fails to fully account for the transaction costs, which are largely hidden, and this 'vigorish' makes it a losing game eventually. The costs associated with funds ('index' or otherwise) are also carefully and skillfully masked, but it is easier to market the diversification arguments. There's a reason that the 'financial industry' is so profitable: http://chartingtheeconomy.com/?p=665 It's an increasingly elaborate wealth transfer mechanism.
If I log in with Twitter then I give you access to post on my behalf. It's not clear to me why you need this and many people will not give access to their Twitter account without a very valid reason.

Second, when I declined to connect via twitter I ended up at an error page "Something wrong! Tokens do not match..."

The "About" link doesn't do anything.

When I go to a question then the footer at the bottom makes me think I'm logged in (given there is a log out link).

Bottom line: good idea but you should clean up some of the bugs.
* You can write short introduction how it works: Can I post directly from twitter? How can I answer? etc.

* On this Q&A sites: Directly after the question box there should be the answer boxes.

* All links should work (about, press, search(!))

It seemed an interesting anecdote, but in a more recent post on network neutrality he referenced the TCP encryption proposals again (http://www.reed.com/blog-dpr/?p=85):

"In the early days of the Internet design, my officemate at MIT, Steven T. Kent, who is now far more well known as one of the premier experts on secure and trustworthy systems, described how the Internet design could in fact, be designed so that all of the bits delivered from source to destination were encrypted with keys unknown to the intermediate nodes, and we jointly proposed that this be strongly promoted for all users of the Internet. While this proposal was not accepted, because encryption was thought to be too expensive to require for every use, the protocol design of TCP and all other standard protocols have carefully preserved the distinctions needed so that end-to-end encryption can be used. That forces the design to not depend in any way on the content, since encryption means that no one other than the source or destination can possibly understand the meaning of the bits, so the network must be able to do perfectly correct job without knowing same."

I hate to be harsh (I've been told off about it just now in an earlier comment too!) but the one thing that stands out most in this series of redesigns is how not a single one of them presents a brand that stands out in any way... it seems like every one is a cookie-cutter of other websites' style. Near the end they even start to look like keyword-spam holding sites.

Have you considered taking a very slight risk and actually creating a striking, unique brand that people will remember after going to your site?

Also, your logo looks like a frowning face... you sure you want that?
The scrapers are probably doing lot of SEO optimization. It is time for stack overflow to hire some SEO services. Wikipedia is not monetizing in anyway other than donations whereas stackoverflow does display ads of its own so why not hire someone to do SEO and stay on top?
I didn't go into a lot of detail in my original comment, but basically before going low carb a) I was doing a low fat, almost vegetarian diet, b) I was always hungry, c) I was losing weight, but very slowly. When I went low carb, a) I stopped counting calories entirely, b) I stopped feeling hungry (in fact, I rarely feel like snacking), c) I lost weight effortlessly (without even exercising!), and d) there were lots of other side benefits, such as elimination of the post lunch sleepies.

So, no, it wasn't a scientifically controlled experiment, and perhaps you could theoretically achieve the same results via a standard calorie restricted diet. (I'm not willing to regain 30 pounds to rerun the experiment... ;)) All I can conclude that in my case, low carb works and is much easier to maintain than a low fat (high carb) diet. And it's really easy to try.

If you're willing to pay the tens of millions of dollars and take the PR hit that is a government anti-trust lawsuit, you may eventually have the privilege of making that argument before a federal judge, who probably isn't technology literate enough to comprehend it. Let's face facts here, this conversation goes over the heads of 80% of internet users. The judge is going to see "the federal government accuses them of restraining this site's trade by removing them from the search index, and Google admits to it" and then that's the ballgame.

Or maybe the government never gets around to suing Google. Or maybe they get a judge who knows this sort of stuff already. But that's still a scenario keeping Google's Legal Dept. up at night.

Assuming this is a response to yesterday's news about Debian's Ruby maintainer, I don't see how it's relevant. Matz is almost certainly compiling his own Ruby (as many Rubyists do) and not using the Debian packages for Ruby.
But if Google shuts those domains out, then the content farmers can just pick up new ones. Furthermore, Google would need to have some sort of process for determining which domains are content-farm spam before shutting them out.

As with spam, the bad guys can be far more agile than the good guys. The point of having algorithms is that once you have a good algorithm, your search-quality staff doesn’t have to scale linearly with the number of pages on the Web.

A company can also buy its own stock. In the short term this has little impact on the stock price, but as future profits are shared among a smaller pool of investors you can cycle though rising price and splits even with a stable income stream.

PS: This is only really efficient when the P:E hovers around 10:1 but it has great tax implications for long term investors.

It's just an integration of ELPA (http://tromey.com/elpa/) which has been around for quite a while. According to the mailing lists Tom Tromey will continue to maintain his archive in parallel. I'm not sure what licensing restrictions he has but I'm fairly sure you don't have to assign copyright as per FSF projects.
It's true. I mostly just thought that it was interesting that after reading all that hubbub over the last few days, to pop open ruby-talk and see this...

At the same time, there is a certain amount of relevance: while lots of Rubyists (including myself) talk a lot of shit on Debian, Debian is still the only Linux that is (technically) supported by Ruby. It's this way because the Hudson (or whatever, it's still early...) server is running Debian, and they don't have another box or two... but still, I guess my point is that Debian is important, no matter how frustrating their policies may seem at times.
This may sound dumb, but the best way is to work directly with (good) designers on projects.

Like engineering, design is something you learn through experience. You can be taught the basic patterns and rules of thumb easily enough. You will however, end up running into situations where things don't fit nicely into those patterns pretty quickly.
Those sites exist, and no-one's disputing that. But the point is that the Wikipedia result is in the Top 5 (and often the top result), and answers.com is further down the list if it's even on the first page.
This is where I make two points:

1: I just replied to your sibling, and

2: So do most Debian Rubyists. Through rvm. ;)

Even when you're the one paying Google real money, the customer service is often lousy and Google's methods are still opaque.
Caveat: Market prices are largely driven by huge pension funds and other institutional funds. These are judged by their customers on their annual or even quarterly returns. Therefore, given a choice between long-term and short-term returns, their managers are compelled to choose the former.

Thus, stocks with great long-term returns but poor short-term returns will not be correctly priced by the market - even if it's obvious from well-known information.

An example is when a stock is hit by publicized litigation, that will drain some cash, but not impact their core business. Not only does it look bad, but it will negatively impact their hard numbers... in the short-term.

my understanding is that you can buy government bonds indexed to certain measures of inflation. TIPS, I believe they are called. Obviously, they yield less than a regular bond, if inflation doesn't go up, but they do keep you in positive territory, if inflation does go up.
Good point. Sorry I missed that. (Although I have to admit I don't remember that last time I actually took anything to 4th Normal Form. It just seems like too much hammer for most problems at hand.)

Yeah, but that would be like suing Microsoft for making Windows more secure because that can "restrain the trade of companies producing Antiviruses".

That would be a pretty stupid argument, even in the face of a non-technical jury, wouldn't it?

Of course, the negative image would hurt, but lets be honest, the suit against Microsoft accomplished basically nothing it couldn't handle, while waisting taxpayer's money. Are these antitrust suits getting started so easily?

This is not an attack on you personally but I absolutely abhor the inner workings of wordpress and would thoroughly recommend against it for a beginning developer.

A much better approach would be to start a simple html/css based website and start abstracting out common elements, building a templating system, get content from a database, dispatch http requests with a front controller until you've got something that looks like an MVC based system.

Then you start from scratch and do it again, learning from the horrible code you wrote the first time.

Eventually you realize that a framework does it better than you and learn to use rails, zend etc.

JUnit '76
Most valuable things can't be sold, regularfry.

Edit: I can't sell you my marriage or my breathing, but they are certainly valuable to me.

The above single-sentence description of the Haber-Bosch process would have made it possible to manufacture ammonia artificially from air, starting a century earlier than it actually was possible --- if someone with the money to build and debug the equipment believed it, of course. That would have revolutionized both agriculture and warfare in much the same way that the Haber-Bosch process eventually did. That would have been very valuable.

"Scarcity in your favour" is just a way of controlling who the net use-value flows to. It doesn't contribute to creating the value in the first place. Often, in fact, it decreases it.

It's true that valuable ideas stop being valuable if nobody believes them, just as valuable machinery stops being valuable if nobody uses it, and disciplined execution stops being valuable if it's executing a stupid idea. That doesn't mean any of those things are valueless. It just means their value is contingent.

The Nihilism Diet
Just be aware that using 'set -e', while good advice in general, won't catch everything. Particularly lists and sub-shells may return with the status code of the last command, not the failed command, depending on how they were used. So it is possible a command failed within but won't trigger the -e.

The best way is to write the compound commands and any sub-shell commands so that they will exit with the return status of any command that failed, using, say, &&.

Most of the content is timeless I believe, mostly philosophical ideas. A lot of it is the same as what can be found in Paul Graham's essays on his website but I think the book is a good read nonetheless. I've read it about 2 times by now (when I found it around 05-06, and just this year) and would recommend it.
This book is not about technologies that tend to fade away fast, and it would becoming irrelevant in a few years. It is mostly about the idea of hacking, connections of this let's call it state of mind to other activities. This book has a number of what is known as PG essays. One of the almost timeless of those about the language for the next hundred years is there.
