Yeah, I don't see the need to use a desk going away any time soon after all. Laptop docks are already popular due to this, why not mobile device docks that work the same way?
It's not a leak if the government published it:

The ridiculousness of this stuff is not the content, it's the linkbait hyperbole he uses to market it. He draws people in with shit like "The 4 Hour Workweek", even though his content doesn't say that's actually going to be the case - at least not until deep into the process. And it pervades everything he does - shady marketing tactics that cover up content that's actually pretty decent.
There's plenty of junk on the Mac App Store already. So yeah.
I'd love to know what their explanation is then when the healthy child catches polio and is crippled for life, or catches measles and dies from the complications, which are both things that have a much higher likelihood of happening to an unvaccinated child then autism, especially when everyone is going on the anti-vaccine craze. Maybe their child will thank them when he becomes sterile in adulthood by having measles, or she will miscarriage and become sterile by having rubella. Well, love is definitely the wrong word here, of course. Not quite sure what the right word is.

I might sound a bit harsh, but I was vaccinated against polio and that was the only thing that saved me from becoming a cripple for life when the stupid bug insisted on infecting me when I was 5 years old - the vaccine didn't quite take, but it took enough to dampen the bug's spirit, but I still had to spend 8 years on physiotherapy and I still suffer the effects from it to this day - all because someone shared a spoon between me and another child one afternoon. These people are the new Darwin Award winners, only they're doing it to their children. It's a shame.
Definitely, there are some really big opportunities regarding interfaces in that department. When someone plugs in an Android device into a normal monitor and uses a mouse, I guess a different launcher/home screen could come up?

We've already seen one mass-user migration from MySpace to Facebook. What happens when a newcomer caters to the needs of a large enough portion of the Facebook crowd that you get fragmentation? Will people simply accept the social fiefdoms, or will they seek out something different? Something more open?

Were this new, open network to exist, you could re-write the statement in your second paragraph to read:

"There's a big, exciting open social network out there that's more interesting and innovative than Facebook messages and friend feeds, and the user base is also getting a little more comfortable with computers and don't need Facebook to hold it's hand so much any more."

That's not to say I don't think Facebook would react positively and hook in to any open networks, but it's going to take some serious momentum to get them to pivot.
Out of the blue. I used to check out DimDim UI a year go to see how far they can use GWT. Never thought the next news coming out from them is this one.
No, they explicitly stated that their demonstration did not consist of virtualized or emulated x86 Windows. That doesn't at all rule out a dynamic translation layer for x86 apps.

I was a vegetarian for a couple of years in my teens, and then I ate a hamburger. I was very, very tired mmediately afterwards and for the whole next day... I actually think your body works harder digesting meat vs. vegetables and grains.
If it were that easy, the eyebrows and lips would be sunken inward because they are darker then the surroundings.

More like (I'm guessing) it uses the change in reflected intensity with respect to the change in light position to estimate a surface normal (e.g., forehead is the same for all light positions, left side of your nose is bright when the left light is on, dark when the right light is on, right side of nose vice versa, etc). It then finds a surface that agrees with these normals by solving a partial differential equation. Clever, not simple. (Although I guess it's a compliment to say they make it look easy.)
:) Glad you enjoyed it.
Don't take it so personal. I'm about 99% he didn't mean it to be too offensive. Probably only offensive enough to make people take action.
I thought exactly the same thing about the polyphasic sleep section. To be fair, most of it is admittedly written by Dustin Curtis.

If anyone else thought that chapter sounded familiar, it's basically this web page with minimal editing.

Going back, I see Tim mentions using the "Everyman" schedule with "great success." If you were cynical, you could interpret that as 'I managed to do Everyman for a while, but the Uberman plan was impossible for me to adapt to long term.'
Does that tell us anything dark about how they are in the real world; well, probably a little, I could guess that a really awkward guy on a forum is likely a bit awkward in the real world.

How people act when they're completely anonymous is, in some sense, how they really are. Once you tie some traceability or accountability to their words or actions, words and actions change to manage image and status.

I'm not. I don't take anything all that personally... especially as I'm not gay but I can think of plenty of slurs that no one would ever consider putting in a blog post title casually yet pansy is perfectly acceptable.

I'm going to assume.. o o look out... that you would find...

chink, nigger, gook, spic and lord knows what else equally acceptable and make a snippy little comment to anyone who pointed out how some might be offensive as being well... chinese, black, vietnamese etc...

BTW... this is the part where you can respond and pretend you didn't try to insult me as a person by calling me a pansy. Only problem... I don't care and... well I'm going to keep it civil and end right there.

EDIT: p.s. nice edit of your comment btw to make it less... well... you know...
im curious what caused you to write this post? did you read something in a book, or did you just think about a particular idea in the shower long enough to get inspired enough to write this? i'm always curious what the tipping point is for people.
I'd like to respond to your assertion that "he knows that doctors and counselors have allowances for when they can disclose information."

This is true, but I think that it would be possible to find a counselor that would not disclose any information, even if they were technically allowed to do so. Furthermore, it seems possible to me that such secrets could be partially disclosed to a counselor in a way in which there would be no incentive for that counselor to pass along the information to another party.

Not having been in this kind of situation before, I can't imagine how horrible it would be to harbor such a secret for a lifetime, and perhaps for Bill the sheer weight of it made it impossible for him to tell anyone. But, I would just like to try to make the point that there are viable options other than keeping secrets bottled up.

As for your final comment, I sincerely hope that you can find the help that you need to make it through whatever it is that is distressing you.
Apparently, this FreeBSD port requires the PS3 have a tool called "petitboot" installed; the "petitboot" installation process seems to use the PS3's traditional "OtherOS" support (what you refer to as "Linux support"). So a PS3 whose firmware prohibits it from booting Linux won't be able to run FreeBSD either.

Now that all the signing keys are leaked, I'll be interested to see how long it takes for universal installers to appear that work even on PS3s that don't support "OtherOS".
Any plans to do the other test too?
One should normally be careful of any freely available service - they owe you nothing. If you really want to partner with twitter for a cool app, approach them about signing an official agreement or something, no?
As a woman myself I am pretty sure she is talking more about the possibility of getting pregnant.
I did a quick xnxx search for "humiliated". It's 36 vids per page. The first page had one male victim and the rest female. The second page had seven male. The third page fourteen. I stopped at that.

So it doesn't look like true numerical parity. On the other hand, there is clearly enough of both that you could watch either exclusively and never run out. So they are both effectively infinite, which is kind of like being equal.
From what I understand, he is using the 'statuses/filter' call of the stream api, filtering with users that have installed his app. This allows him to get the tweets of all his users in a single connection to twitter. 'statuses/filter' and 'statuses/sample' are the only two methods provided to all accounts and they are very limited. I mean, 100K users is a big number for sure, but not a surprising number given it's a twitter app on facebook. We are far from the firehose level!

As a work around, he might be able to go back to the REST api, use statuses/friends_timeline, and stay within the 300 per hour/per user limit.

Good luck Michael.
I don't understand why you're making us wait 10 seconds?
A good post. Terse, to the point. It's true, most people have a hard time just starting, though many fail to see that even the smallest movement would bring you closer to your goal. Thanks for the post!

While technically feasible, this would rule out a large number of high quality content sites which are currently ad-supported. For example, specialist community forums often carry ads just to cover costs. You need to allow for a different funding model for sites like that, such as subscriptions.

I'm sure Apple will tighten it up a bit but if it stops casual piracy that's probably good enough. More sophisticated and invasive DRM schemes don't stop people anyway. It's a waste of time to go much further than "keeping the honest people honest" style protections.

many people use terms that were meant as derogatory in a way they think 'isnt offensive'.. bully for them. i use derogatory terms and when i do... i mean it for effect.

if you are going to use a derogatory term and say you didn't mean to offend, some of use will think you are either disingenuous or clueless. but... that wasn't my point... there are tons of derogatory terms that almost no one in 'polite' society would use, some however, still have defenders and people who will say that it isn't offensive.

thank you for proving my point. i look forward to future hn posts where people explain why all the various slurs of history are no longer offensive and if you find them offensive you are an old foggy hanging out at the VFW.

From the WSJ article:

What I find tiresome are entire books dedicated to a diet that can be described in a few pages. In Ferriss's book, this diet described in a few pages, with the usual self-help testimonials to fill it out to a whole chapter. He put out the same diet in a blog post a few years ago:
http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/2007/04/06/how-to-lose-...
so at this point I don't begrudge him putting it in a book chapter.

His first book was kind of ridiculous IMHO, but I liked this one. You can cherry pick silly bits out of it like the reviewer did, but a lot of it is pretty reasonable and does motivate people to actually try stuff.
It exists: http://hackny.org. I was one of the students in the first class this past summer.
As I realized after Twitter's "developer" conference last year, the era of the Twitter hacker is coming to a close (see http://twitter.com/#!/dacort/status/12005978721 and http://twitter.com/#!/dacort/status/12032959629). If you are not building a business on their platform where money will pass into their business, good luck.

And who can blame them, providing 100,000 user tweets isn't free. Not sure where he got the idea he would never have to start paying.

Turning off basic auth also hastened this demise - whereas you could once pull whatever data you wanted from Twitter using a simple curl command, now you have to figure out OAuth. It's not that much of a challenge, but it is enough of a barrier to entry to dissuade somebody who's got a couple hours on the weekend and wants to have some fun.

Finally, their partnership with Gnip is yet another indicator that this is simply not the days of the wild west anymore. You want the data, you'll have to pay.
Was Gandhi a pansy? He spoke against violence and yet he changed the world with his salt march. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahatma_Gandhi

Gandhi might have replied: "Be a pansy and do something".
Even if you decide to stop having kids after your first son, the population of males / females should be split evenly, so I don't think it would make a difference.

Static P/E multiples mean very little. Facebook has a much better chance of multiplying their net income by 28 times, to match Apple's $14B, than Apple has of multiplying their net income by 28 times, to reach $392B in annual net income.

Verizon is a Dow Jones Industrial Average component, like the AXP and KFT stocks the author mentions. Its P/E ratio is well over 200.

You should maybe consider tracking which images are more likely to lead to a correct curtain selection. Then run an additional survey where subjects rank the same set of photos for hottness/arousal level, and see if there is a correlation.
Especially if the hardcoded value isn't the strings themselves but a hash derived from them.
Not offline, just on our own servers, so we can be sure it's random. But I didn't realize it was written in Javascript, so anyone can inspect the code.

I don't like that it shows you your percentage as you go. Aren't people more likely to quit when their Porn finding skills are higher?

Also, maybe i've been spoiled, but some of the 'erotic' pictures don't seem that erotic.

I think with a bit of re-design this could make for a great, and useful experiment.
The problem is that it's a tug-of-war situation and in a tug-of-war, you win by passing a minimum threshold; there's no such thing as a runaway victory. Rather than leading to a kind of informational meritocracy, what you're talking about leads to the situation we're in now, where content that is perceived by some proportion of SE users as 'good enough' grows at a rate that is much faster than natural, and drowns out all other content.

If you take advertising out of the equation then the motives for producing general-topic content revert to what they were a few years ago: personal expression, free expert opinion, community discussion, journalism in search of subscribers.
Headline is a bit misleading. The Mac App Store wasn't hacked; that implies some tampering with the servers.

What's happened is that some developers haven't fully implemented scrupulous receipt checks, which weakens the DRM considerably.
Yup, great book, amazing stories. Ironically, the understanding for how shape an aircraft to redirect radar was inspired by a journal article by a Soviet aerospace engineer on how to design fighter nose cones for optimal nose radar transmission.
seems like a Pyhrric victory seeing as a million god damned people died in the resulting conflict. If the average person's life is worse under one regime than another what justification is there? Some sort of ethnic autonomy that says Indian rule of India is better regardless of the lot of the common man?

If singapore wanted to come govern my state I'd be all for it.
Humorous. Well written but a bit content light(This post anyway). The rest of the blog seems to be just as well written but sort of hit and miss as far as my attention goes.

Personally I believe that new years resolutions fail because they are new years resolutions. If it was something you were actually willing to do you would have started it before new year's day. That is to say making it a new years resolution makes is a delaying tactic for something you have no intention of doing anyway. I guess that goes back to your get started now point.
Amusingly, it looks like the front is stealthy but the exhaust isn't. I guess China only cares that their pilots deliver their payload, and not as much whether they come home.

Seriously though, sounds like the plane will be testing for about 5 more years, so they've got time to figure out low-observable exhaust configurations.
At risk of echoing others, I too found his approach a bit different from stuff I had read, decided to try it, and lost a couple kilograms in the first week (started on Jan 1).

I appreciate his hyper self-promotion, too, because otherwise I would have never heard of this book; it's the first diet book I have ever read.
Replying to say that I agree, and it baffles me as to why people are willing to put so much of their technology at the mercy of massive corporations they have no contract with. I might accept building tools for Facebook and Twitter in the interim, but if I were a third party developer, I'd be supporting the open alternatives (Appleseed, StatusNet, etc), if only out of hedging bets for the future.

Also... Hello, David, I also worked at Electriciti in the late 90's, and remember you from back in the day. Sounds like things have gone well since then!
Whether the picture appears on curtain 1 or 2 is predetermined, and the server provides proof in the form of a hash. You can see that on the bottom under your stats.

Yeah, I had a tough time finding erotic pictures. If you have a better idea of where I can find some to hot-link, also for gay / female audiences, lmk.

It was extensibility and low barrier-to-entry that ultimately gave the web its edge over the centralized online services. Growing corporate beurocracies couldn't keep up with the creativity happening in the wild.

If social is a frontier with similarly unrealized potential, an open platform will eventually emerge and innovation will happen there. Cool new things that Facebook can't wrap their head around will draw people away.

One of those new things will become so popular and so essential that its centralized control becomes a general threat, and all this happens again.
LinkedIn to go public in 2011
Even the previous Skype had quirks that bugged me. A really simple one was the login screen; after entering your login ID, pressing Tab took you NOT to the password field, but to a little web link thing in between the two fields. So, the one UI element you must use every time you run the program, wasn't thought-through; it's as if they didn't expect that the next thing you'd want to type after your ID would be the password. So every time, I had to hit Tab twice.
