Thanks for the advice. I'll take a look at both of them and choose the one I'm more comfortable with. Both the books look quite interesting.
How is that responding with a vengeance???
"It brings offline and online together in a very unique way, which banner ads simply don't do. It's definitely opening people's eyes up to the way e-commerce can be transactive," Aitken said.

People may like Facebook, but we're still very social creatures, and we do crave human interaction. Probably why we may be seeing more intertwined real-life/interweb stuff soon.

Edward Teller wrote this book in his 90+s, and nanosecond is certainly not the most technical word in this book:)

HyperCard? In my recollection, this was an absolutely great piece of software -- and it's high time somebody produced something as good, but for modern userland development.
Quick and Speedy Internet Connection with Ethernet Driver Download
Are you really frustrated with slow internet speed and frequent hang-ups? The reason might be because of an outdated or corrupted Ethernet driver present in your system that hampers your internet's speed.
Limit people to two articles per hour, unless they have special requests signed by an officer (such as to build search queries) - it would take about 125 000 hours to download all the cables under this system.

Of course it is not airtight, but it would make the leak much smaller (and the amount of people who could leak them all reduced drastically to a few people whom you could keep an eye on) and presumably less harmful.
I would point out that females are the sex more reluctant to mate in almost all species

I always have difficulty with people making points such as this; because we have such drastic differences from all other species that make much of the argument moot.

I think the real reason Women read porn and men watch it is simply because of past gender inequality that still persists. Men could look at porn, it was "dirty" and "naughty", but it was a male world so it got accepted. Women "hacked" around it by reading/writing romance and erotica.

I guess society has just persisted that social structure into the modern day.
Facebook - The new new telco
sorry, if I have to spam my facebook contacts to start doing something, I'm not going to use it.
That's very USA-centered though. Usually, something was open in some countries and closed in others, depending on legislation in that country. Closed systems of global scale are a pretty new thing, and it's not clear how this will play out.
John Kalucki from Twitter's platform team responded in the comments with what sounds like a reasonable alternative: http://hoisie.com/post/a_warning_to_hackers_be_careful_build...
Surely the alternative is to sell it on your website like how Mac developers have ben doing for years?
Freeman Dyson is 87. Nobel Prize winning neuroscientist David Hubel is 84 and still working; I see him around the building where I work. Ray Bradbury is 90, and while he may not be fond of the internet, I expect he's familiar with nanoseconds.

Grace Hopper went on the David Letterman show at 79 and showed her example nanosecond - a length of telephone wire that would take a nanosecond for a signal to traverse. She died at 85 in 1992 and would probably still be talking about nanoseconds today if she were still alive and mentally sharp.

Here's another one. Google for:

+my_city +linux +vacancy

And what do I receive? Craploads of job aggregation sites. What I actually want is a list of websites where people are advertising vacancies in their own company in my city. I try removing all the general job site by adding stuff like this to the query:

-site:jobsite.co.uk

But there are so many that Google starts complaining about the length of the search query and prevents me from adding more.

Ask HN: Where/How do I find a good salesperson?
I am a freelance web designer based in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Since I am in Bangladesh and most clients are in the US, I find it difficult to find and negotiate new clients. Email is not really as good as face-to-face interaction.

To help me out in this regard, I am looking for a salesperson who lives in the US and would be willing to work for commission.

I was wondering if HN could help guide me on where/how to look for a good salesperson.
This is so dumb it's almost offensive. All companies don't peak in their performance at the same time. Look at one seven year old company and another. If their numbers are the same at that moment, what odds would you place on their numbers still being the same (+-10%) ten years later? Me, I don't put much money on that at all.

Mac App Store is making apps cheaper and life easier
That's too bad. Regardless SproutCore will be huge now that they also have Katz on their team :-)
I have been using Blekko as my primary search-engine for a couple of days now, and in my experience their search-results are very decent.

Not, maybe in terms of falsely blocked sites, but certainly in terms of having fewer false positives (e.g. spam/useless pages) in the search results.

Mom & pop users (and even more advanced searchers, such as students looking for book-reviews, or torrents) might very well forgive them the few false blocks for this.

Zittrain in his 'The Future of the Internet and How to Stop It' already wrote about this trade-off in terms of spam being made possible by the generativity of the internet, and people increasingly preferring controlled environments over those full of virusses and spam (wonder why apple's locked down devices are so popular?).

Of course this has big downsides too, and even is bad in my opinion. But Blekko, by allowing people to create their own slashtags (categories, much more flexible and quick than Googles domain search) and google/yahoo/bing always being only one click away, might have arrived at a good middle-ground...

Imho Blekko might very well be able to beat Google at their own game. Give them a try, or at least sometimes when google doesn't do it for you, I'd say...

My GWT / GAE Project
I created a little WebApp to combine and cut Youtube Videos with the Google Web Toolkit running on the Google App Engine. I basically build it to get to know the technologies. But I think that it might be useful for somebody.

I would really appreciate any tips on how to improve the design / user interface.
Furthermore it would be awesome if some of you could try to create a video and post ideas on how to improve the general concept.

I'm not sure if I misunderstood your comment. But as far as I know most iOS users install apps using the app store built into the device. It's really not much different, if not more polished than the cydia store.

I think the real reason for the popularity of cydia is that 1) it has a user friendly UI 2) you can get apps on it that will not make it to the app store and 3) some people are just too cheap to pay for some apps and use it to pirate them
Did you forget the URL? Or is it one of those uber sekrit thingies that mortals like I do not have the pleasure in laying eyes upon? :(
In spite of the (justified) complains you get about the false positives, I think that's a great way to go. Unlike with email where missing a message might be critical, in search I'd rather have even as much as 10-20% false positives than deal with the spam sites Google delivers.

More in general, concerning the front page search examples:
"cure for headaches" works very well indeed compared to google.
However, "global warming /liberal" is a bit irritating. I understand the rationale behind it, however there is this slight difference between finding only what one is looking for and hearing only what one wants to hear. To find anything non-mainstream might necessitate a technique like this in Google where you otherwise don't see anything else in the first 50 results... But maybe you can strive to find for me what's really going on and not merely what's mainstream and politically correct. Thinking about it, your blocking of domains like Answer.com might be a great step in that direction anyway.
Apple has been straying from their own HIG for years and Gruber has been criticizing them for it every step of the way. You assume too much.
I had an even worse issue (entirely my own fault) which highlights the dangers of building on another platform. My app (tweetbars.com) had a tiny flaw in that it didn't time out the Curl calls to the Twitter API, and my host didn't kill hanging php executions.

So when Twitter started hanging (and eventually timing out after a minute or so) the app basically ate one of their shared servers and the host took my whole account down for 24 hours.
Israel doesn't just recruit from Israel. They recruit from Jews internationally.

This is a major part of their strength. How many brilliant Jewish software people live in the USA? Those are the people Israel would recruit, along with their homegrown talent.

Having said that I agree that the NSA would be more qualified than Israel at creating Stuxnet.
As a friend of mine pointed out when I complained:

I'm not going to comment on the ethics, just noting that there is a "solution." (Also: requires root)
"It is possible that a decentralized, autonomous solution may come up for social profiles."

ucentric.org are building exactly this with their FOS myCloud server-to-server network.
And redtube.com out of N is representative? Not to justify the grandparent's probably biased view (which I share btw), but arguing with ambiguous statements doesn't offer much to the discussion or our comprehension of the matter.
Assuming flat income for that period. You think this is a safe assumption I guess?

Continue replying to a cowards throw away account? Sure why not it is Friday night and I have a beer in hand.

Perhaps go back and read my comment you grossly misquoted [1] where I say "removed from most vaccines" if you are going to try to quote me at least do it right.

You should read the quote you posted then revise what correlation and causation mean in respect to science and biology in particular.

What you quoted explicitly states "thimerosal remains in several nonroutinely administered childhood vaccines". Note it says nonroutinely, which I will translate for you means not often. So even if only a fraction of the routinely used childhood vaccines had thimerosal removed in the past decade (and it sounds from your quote that none of the routinely ones did have it still in there in 07) we would see a corresponding drop in autism diagnosis rates.

We haven't.

Ball is in your court cowardly sir if you really believe in what you say you'll use your real account, no one is left on this thread to downvote you.

That's specifically talking about the expectation of a ratio though. The expectation of the number of girls is always equal to the number of boys, even for finite families.

Expectation of a ratio != ratio of expectations.

True, there's even Lego porn.

Show HN: Idea roulette (brainstorming site)
This is a website I've been working on in this holiday season. It tries to help creators in choosing the right idea to implement, and help you get reviews from your peers or from your friends.
To work you need to log in with a google account, describe your idea, and review the ideas of other (chosen randomly). You then will get reviews of your idea from others.
It's very basic as this is just a MVP of what it could be and I would really appreciate any suggestions/criticism you could give.
You can do it here or directly reviewing the idea of "Idea Roulette" I've created on Idea Roulette following this link (I know, really meta!)

I think this is great. Sure it isn't for me but neither was the Million Dollar Home Page, but it's a nice modern version.

Ignore any negative feedback (unless constructive), haters will hate ;)

The way the MDHP got press attention was with a press release, would be worth having a look at for you I think. What bothered me about the MDHP was I felt it was a fraud, he posted about having massive university debts, then as soon as he made the million he quit uni and moved to a big city to invest the money. Which makes me feel it was a bit fraudulent.

Gratz!
Nice idea, but it's a mix of ubuntu/mac/windows, so something web based would be ideal :)

But that's not the point of the article -- the author of the article agreed with that. And he was sorry for it, and sent a nice mail to excuse for his malbehaviour.

It seems his point is that it is very hard to get to actually speak to a human or even get a human reply with Google. If they decide to cut you off (of adwords, or the search engine) there is no real way to appeal or sometimes, even to know why it happened.

Google is in no way alone in this, though. I've heard similar things about Apple, Amazon, etc. It's pretty scary of today's companies.
Good point, but the valuation is supposed to go higher when Facebook IPOs.

How Postini ruins the good news about DKIM and Google Apps
I spent a few years at Apple writing internal tools.

IMHO, this is the way to have an effect on a company completely disproportionate to any other activity I know of. The tools I wrote at Apple have enabled projects which, AFAIK, are completely unheard-of at any other tech company.

That said, don't expect a payoff proportionate to the effect of the tool.

From a company owner's perspective, however, excellent tools can provide an advantage that is difficult for competitors to match. That's worth an awful lot.

There are people that are faster using T9 than using a keyboard. But I'm pretty sure that the world's fastest keyboard typist is much faster than the world's fastest T9 typer.

(I haven't done research on this though, so feel free to prove me wrong)
Of course you can't compare them directly but I thought it was interesting to see the numbers behind Google's valuation.

Based on these numbers, if you think Facebook is overvalued today you sort of have to make the same conclusion about Google in 2004.

In fact, Facebook has even higher profit than Google did when it was valued the same.

Interestingly enough, I found that by structuring The 4HB like this, Tim addressed one of my main problem with his previous book, The 4HWW:

The 4HWW "introduced a few interesting concepts but was pretty poorly written. Specifically because the information was scattered and the chapters didn't lead into each other."

(The above is quoted as it is from an email a friend sent to me yesterday: he summed-up my thoughts better than I could have.)

A friend of mine actually bought some pixels off of the MDHP back in the day. Apparently the guy who started it even sold all of the customer details to outside advertisers for money. My friend received a bunch of spam to the email address he had used. Bad pool.

Personally, I like that simple ideas like this can be the seed funding for future projects. Not just in currency, but also in education.
Does anyone else just not grok the idea that sex is about all these terribly negative things? I have never in my life desired to degrade or debase women through sex or any other means.

I know it's hard for women these days, and there are probably more screwed up guys out there than normal ones, but I feel like the latter are getting tarred with the same brush as the former.

I can't think of any guy in my immediate social circle that's not a true gentleman inside and out, not even a suppressed, closeted woman-hater.

Reading feminist articles like this usually makes me go WTF. On the hand I'm very sympathetic to the fact that it's not easy being a woman, but on the other I can't help but suspect the author has been a victim of bad luck with men and is projecting on the entire sex.

They've been saying this for... 20 years or so? Starting from the first PC soundcards?

Unless AI really takes leaps I'm sure this will not happen any time soon. Voice is too ambiguous to convert to text with sound only. The machine will really have to understand you.

Current voice recognition is really awkward and frustrating, and it's currently much easier to learn fast typing than fast voice input.

(and in addition to that there are the many practical drawbacks to voice recognition as voice elsewhere in this thread)
