some real tips:
read javascript the good parts http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596517748
and anything else form mr. http://www.crockford.com/

read (and understand) the "learning javascript with object graphs" series http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Ahowtonode.org+Learning...

use node.js for the backend of your apps to come (start with https://www.duostack.com/ or for a quick hack http://jsapp.us/ )

do not use w3school ressources (they are wrong in critical cases) see http://w3fools.com/

and the most critical tip if you really want to get serious about javascript: learn other programming languages as well, then revisit javascript. one language can never be enough. take the learnings from other languages and apply them to javascript.

oh yeah and: do not seek cross browser compatibility. it's frustrating. (after you are good it will work cross browser anyway (excluding IE)).
Ha, I passed on dropbox too, I was asked to invest in the series B and thought the valuation was too high. Learned my lesson - valuations go up for a reason.

I think it is one of those problems that most people don't run into until they do - for example, you're suddenly having to work from 2 locations on the same code base - then try to find some means of keeping both in sync... The first attempts I had at it ended up pretty much as a "too hard, not worth the effort" solution.
I guess the pain threshold was not quite high enough for enough people, but now with a brilliant solution, a lot of people will revisit it, and with the multiplying numbers of web devices, it will become more of an issue - so it was more of an issue of tackling the problem at the right time.

the fact that their main competitor Reddit.com currently only has 1 software devloper - shows that the main problem for Digg is management - there is no need for so many developers anyway

they can hire as many of the worlds best developers as they want - it does not hide the fact that diggs management people are yesterdays stars

I thought I had my Facebook set to maximal privacy, but it turned out that I didn't. I'm not too surprised at this, to be honest.

You think you can do something else cool with the data? Have at it! :) Let me know if other data such as more detailed user profile info will help.

wow. I really haven't been following gaming news.

"The OnLive Game System is only available for sale in the contiguous United States. " so not much use -- but still very cool.
you say: Kevin was pretty quick to realize that Twitter/Facebook were going to eat Digg's chances of become a huge company.

Then why Digg´s main competitor Reddit.com is growing like crazy these days ?

its because Digg was managed badly ..

Pakistani 30 Plus Peoples Chat Rooms
To a point, I agree with PG. It's perfectly ok with me to have superstars getting paid like, well, superstars. I certainly do not want everybody to be equally rich, or, much more likely, equally poor (let's call this "equality of arrival"). But I would like a more equal society at the starting line ("equality at the start"), and not only for reasons of justice, but because a system of haves and have-nots that in fact makes it much harder for the sons and daughters of the latter to make it is also depriving society of people who could make a contribution, and sometimes never get the chance to. As a result, society will end up being poorer. I do not at all think it is by chance, as a counter argument, that countries and societies where women, who make up 50% of the population, are on a more equal standing with men - think Scandinavia, or Holland, or Germany - are also among the richest, not to mention happiest and most peaceful, in the world.
I think I've stumbled upon that EFF link at some point, but I didn't study it very much.

The CA graph they list there is nice, but it doesn't say much since many of the CAs there don't actually sell to consumers certificates, no?

Looking at this PDF[1] I see on page 23 that there are about 30 root CAs that have signed more that 1000 certificates. And (from page 21) it seems to me that the providers are very much US centric.

With regard to what does the SSL cert contain, I don't know much about this field, but I do know that the certificate may present and organization name and address/state/country. Hence I assume, identity also matters for some besides just domain ownership.

Anyhow, I'm not claiming I've found a better solution than the smart guys sitting down and working out solutions, but I do find annoying that the solution they found is so expensive for commoners.

As an armchair discussion, I still think that certificate info seems best to belong into a DNS record. DNSSEC perhaps could help with this?

Pakistan vs West Indies Live Match 1st Quarter Final : Cricket World Cup 2011
I recently launched a startup which I named bfffr, playing on the word "buffer" since it ties closely to what the product does. I also chose that name because dribbble and forrst seem to be doing pretty well even with odd names like that. Admittedly I would have liked two f's, but the domain was taken. I paid close attention to how people were responding to the name. Many didn't even know how to pronounce "bfffr". I shortly changed the name to "Buffer", with the domain name bufferapp.com. It has turned out to be a very good decision. Domains may be hard to get, but there are plenty of examples out there that show we don't have to deny ourselves a good name simply because the domain name is gone (just look at all the 37signals products).

It was one of those problems that everyone was solving in their own way. Either through shared folders, shared gmail accounts, mailing attachments, passing around USB sticks, or putting everything into a version control system.

There was no single solution that was both convenient, compatible across devices and platforms, and useful for all the usecases. Dropbox nailed that.
Nope, you're just describing two different use cases (real time transfer vs. delayed transfer). Currently you can use the installable app and files will resume/restart whenever either disconnected machine comes back online to combat the often-sleeping laptops you reference.

The thing about persistence via storage is that now you're talking cloud storage, and that's a pretty overloaded and over-served market with a race to the bottom on price. We're fanatic about speed and privacy so we're p2p only right now and we really love the potential for this tech. Ideally, we'll make the persistence issue irrelevant rather than falling back to what we consider outdated tech...

I feel it has the same moral implications like torrenting while being much more difficult to set up.

It's sad and frustrating - a while ago I spent a couple of hours searching for a legal way to buy music from a Finnish band I really liked, and each and every service was geographically restricted (I'm from Croatia). A couple of clicks on your torrent index of choice, and there was the album in its full glory. The Industry(tm) should really learn a thing or two from the "evil pirates".
How to Feed the World by 2050
I agree with him, except it's more like a social league where everyone plays because they accept any and everyone. I've mentioned it here before, but I think it's plain silly that now - after all the publicity and hype - damn near everyone thinks they can make a startup without actually having the skill to build, much less a reasonable idea. Was reading a post on here previously about a startup that needs a developer to [make an api] for their site so users can customize their product - a magnetic bumper sticker holder thing with changeable messages. Come on dudes, really? An api? You need a printer and a pair of scissors.

Was gonna say that I hope I one day have a startup this guy bashes, but then I saw the date on this post.

For any projection of power, however well grounded, there will always be a seemingly well-reasoned rebuttal of its legitimacy.

There are a lot of people out there who want to stick it to the U.S. just for playing a power game regardless of grounds for said power game. These people will always find a way to make the power game look bad, since by its very nature power is susceptible to such criticism. At this point, I am just starting to ignore these people because I have learned that the number one reason people criticize someone exercising power is because they want the power exclusively for themselves.

Power is neither good nor bad; power is power. What should be criticized is brutality.
Agreed. It shows that you can achieve SEO goals whilst providing informative and valuable content. I hope that as google cracks down on 'poor quality content' sites, content rich, but SEO-aware, articles like this will be rewarded.

Instead of RRR it uses RLE and gamma codes. Oddly, I have found no comparisons between this approach and RRR. I would expect RLE to compress better, and it is also conceptually simpler, but I don't know how fast it is.
it would be great if there was some positive outcome.

because there may be the negative: i passed dropbox, i passed airbnb, i passed mysql and google, and see, i'm fine. what do you want? ;)

He has also long argued that investors with much money have far more attractive investing opportunities.

You claim that no other site would give a reason to install Silverlight. Someone mentions Netflix, a popular website which depends on Silverlight being installed. You then say that you would prefer not using Netflix to installing Silverlight. Your comment then becomes

1) A non sequitur. Your own choice has no bearing on the last two comments except to voice your own feelings about silverlight.

2) A suggestion that your own feelings for Silverlight reflect the vast majority of broadband Internet users, directly contradicting all available data.

I chose the most charitable interpretation of your comment, as option 1) is clearly off-topic and not relevant to the thread or the article.

That's how most encryption protocols work now, by exchanging symmetric encryption keys at the start. There are protocols to do this, PGPfone was written in the 90s.
Netflix Watch Instantly is full of mediocre B-rated movies. Even the foreign film selection isn't as good as I had expected it to be, considering how horrible it's A-rated movie selection is.

And about BluRays vs. DVDs. There is no comparison if you care about picture quality & movie experience, while trying to own the movie. Try watching the first 20 minutes of Dark Knight on BluRay on a decent quality screen at 120HZ, then watch it on DVD. You will buy a BluRay player.

9 Things Successful People Do Differently
"Many didn't even know how to pronounce 'bfffr'".

What's with the even? Do you honestly think that is surprising?
Minus points for using /html5 as the url instead of /html5-forms.
Are they not also easier to trademark? You're likely to be the only person using them and made up words don't tend to have any prior usage or meaning assigned (thus avoiding the sort of battle Apple is going through with "App Store" right now).
a mark cannot be registered if it consists solely of a generic or purely descriptive term. "Store" is generic.

Yes, it is, but as far as I can read from the Bloomberg article, the question at hand is about the combination of "App" with "Store" (if 'App' were the claim, they would have to go after Google, too). I haven't read Apple's claim, but I am fairly sure that Apple will argue that "App Store" is not solely a purely descriptive term. Also, there are many trademarks on more generic terms. For example, "Jaguar" is a trademark of Linotype (http://www.linotype.com/3228/jaguar.html)

If it should be granted what it seeks, how will other vendors be able to refer even generically to what they are offering?

"a place where you can buy software", or even "a place to buy apps" (if, as I assume, they are granting that 'apps' has become or always has been generic)

Counter-argument: if someone invents a new category of item and spends money to establish a name for it, why should everybody be allowed to go along with the ride? Should an inventor immediately come up with two terms, even before knowing that others want to copy them?
[Two not-so-good-examples of this I can think of are Royal Mail and KLM. Both have almost generic names (KLM = Royal Air Line Company), British stamps do not even have a country designation on them.]

I do think Apple may be too late to claim the term is specific for their store, but I think it will be a close call.
My understanding is that a design patent is really only any good against a near-exact copy of the design.

No, you are utterly wrong, and here’s why:

There is also BBC Life.
The store is down for everyone right now, so if it just redirects to the homepage you should try again later..
Aye, which I assume (but as I've not tried it I can't say for certain) is essentially what they do for the free certs. So they would be no less useful as encryption only certificates than the cheap paid-for ones, assuming the level of acceptance by browsers is adequate for the needs of the site using the cert.
"As always, life and business went on and the brave made a profit."

I agree with you, but we mustn't forget that this is partly survivor bias, too... Much money was lost on bets that turned out wrong. I remember being glued to the news for hours in autumn 2008, and doing the maths over lunch with my colleagues on how much I would've made on a local bank's stocks had I actually bought the evening before, like I said I was going to (didn't have the balls in the end :) ). Either way that was on a Friday, and on Monday they were nationalized and many people lost their life's savings... I would've been really screwed had I gone through with it.

This guys need 1600 pre-sales to make this happen? (their unit price of the smallest product divided into the fundraising minimum goal)

Even if they get an array of donations/sales for their smallest to biggest versions, that's a lofty goal to set as the minimum requirement to produce these things for the public.

I call that this is truly a niche product and the fundraiser won't hit $48k...
Note his rebuttal is mostly addressed to their own suggested $43 million figure, rather than disputing that the original $1+ billion figure is correct, as he seems to agree with the part of the paper discussing the problems with that number.

There's an couple of orders of magnitude between the estimates, so it's entirely possible for both to be WAY off.
I might look better were it not surrounded by other typos and even one place where I appear to have typed completely the wrong word (or partly rearranged a sentence and failed to finish making the new form make sense...).
Barclays took a lot of money from Saudi. If memory serves the terms were in many ways worse than the UK government were offering but they were keen (potentially rightly so in hindsight) to avoid the political / PR entanglements of being in debt to a government which was under pressure from a banker hating electorate.
Isn't this akin to saying "EA is creating its own Call Of Duty"? Jobs wasn't using the term in a generic fashion ("app stores"), rather using it as a comparative ("equivalents to the App Store").

The trouble is, the average consumer doesn't understand or see the difference. They get bombarded with acronyms and marketese and they just shut down. And, they don't want to have to replace their movie collection with another one that seems to cost 20% more per disk for a difference they just don't see.

When it comes to media what people want is library size, convenience and cost-effectiveness. DVDs and Internet-based streaming have all of these things for the average consumer. Blu-ray™ is a 'premium' product that average Joe six-pack can't justify.
