Looking at all these answers it is amazing how well propaganda has worked. Alright then, go ahead and believe that radiation is not dangerous. Please try to stay clear of strong radiation sources nevertheless, if only for sentimental reasons.

Half of all wild boars shot in central Europe can not be sold because their radiation levels are still too high for general consumption because of Chernobyl.

It is documented everywhere I looked. Check out pg162 of http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ECMA-ST..., for example.
The pricing model seems like it could be a big win for heroku, phpfog, and anyone else arbitraging EC2.
Edit: My reasoning is that currently EC2 performance sucks and is reliably inconsistent, and if you can spend a fixed price to ensure that you're actually getting what you're paying for, as an ec2 arbitrator, your clients are going to be a lot more satisfied

Edit 2: Ah i see, i misunderstood
How would this be useful to them? I don't think they care if their instances are on the same box or not. Also, how is what Heroku and PHP Fog arbitrage? They're just providing a service on top of another service; they don't even work with multiple markets.
India doesn't innovate. How can India people innovate when they live in Garbage filled, car congested, slum infested, and highway deprived neighborhoods such as...most of the cities in India (Yes, I've been to Bangalore, Mumbai, Chennai within the past year)

I laugh when people want to go start startups in India. Go ahead, live in a 3rd world country and try to focus on your startup.
Presumably you have no response to his key question regarding what major tech innovations have come out of India recently. Perhaps those $10 laptop computers they announced?
In fact, one of the first foreign (non-Korean) StarCraft players to move to Korea went on to become a pro poker player (Bertrand 'ElkY' Grospellier: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertrand_Grospellier)

From what I understand, many of the Korean pros get into online poker as well.
You're right, that is what many NoSQL databases are. However this simplicity also allows NoSQL databases to more easily implement features like sharding, which is why they're useful. I've yet to see an SQL database that supports sharding and doesn't cost a lot of money.
If it causes that much irritation, have you considered making your own CA, adding it to your browsers, and then using that to sign your temporary certificates?

It's quite straightforward to do this with openssl.
Indeed, however even with SEO consultants brought in, and even a Snake Oil Consultant or two, the $40 million pricetag is insane. Obviously $10k is no where near realistic when it comes to all the planning between however many stakeholders there are in the site, as well as figuring out ads management and what not.

Realistically, we would all still be shocked if they had paid $2 million total.
>look at the icons, .....I don't know what most of them mean

I'm curious how ubiquitous ZeroConf actually is. Every user that has iTunes installed will generally have Zeroconf/bonjour installed as well. Based on the number of iPhone, iPad, and iPod users alone it should be a fairly significant number.
I think there's an understandable case to be made for the spending (when your future hinges on your digital properties, you can't really blame management for being scared and wanting outside advice - and lots of it.)

But it's hard to see how the Times can work this out, and it's worth remembering that the paywall is a desperate attempt to do this. Desperate people tend to pay more for even the simple things. There aren't any models worth using - if the Times is to get this right, it has to invent one on its own dollar.

Is there hope? Monday Note's Frédéric Filloux thinks that the NYT can be a digital-only enterprise:
http://www.mondaynote.com/2011/03/27/the-nyts-melting-iceber...

Let’s stop a moment and behold the printed New York Times’ true gem: its Sunday edition.
It changes everything in our look at the paper’s digital equation:
- Sunday circulation is 54% higher than on weekdays (1.35m vs. 877,000).
- It’s an expensive package: $5.00 in New York, $6.00 elsewhere in the country.
- Sunday copy sales bring five times more money than any weekday.
- Advertising-wise, some analysts say the Sunday NYT accounts for about 50% of
the paper’s entire advertising revenue.

He suggests that it cuts out its daily paper, keeps the SundayEedition cashcow, and switch everything else to digital-only.

But it takes a lot of courage to do something so drastic. Till then, $40 million seems regrettably understandable - the price of being scared and unsure of one's future.
> - If you think you need variables (like in SASS), you are probably thinking about it the wrong way

I've yet to see CSS code for page layout without the usual awkwardness where margin-left of some element MUST equal some other element's width minus some bar's left offset, yadayada. It's for stuff like this that variables make sense. I wholeheartedly agree that if you need a variable to colour two bars and a heading orange, you're probably doing it wrong.

The blog you refer to only has an example with colours, which is just too easy.
> You believe that there's some mythical "21st century" business model that will save journalism with no evidence to back that up.

There are plenty of free (paper) newspapers that are funded by advertising revenue. I don't see any reason in principle why it couldn't work for the online newspapers, who have lower overheads.

> I think donations sought by non-profits are a better way to fund journalism

You may well be right.

> that is decidedly pre-21st century

Except that it may well be easier to raise funds now with the internet. (Especially if/when we get a decent micropayment system.)
Yay, I tried to guess and pick the number which I thought would probably be picked the least amount of people.

10 was a good guess.
Jquery class selector is the slowest selector, avoid them as much as possible. ID selector is the fastest. So, if your application is jquery intense, better avoid css selectors.

Facebook shuts down applications for using Adsense
To summarize the story so far:

Back in the days, there were some small ad networks that used to run some very manipulative ads, or even popup ads on facebook applications. Since then facebook has imposed restrictions on what kind of ads are allowed. In the latest iteration, they imposed a huge list of draconian terms http://developers.facebook.com/ad_provider_terms/ . The terms seem to be designed so that no large ad provider (who is serious about its customers) can agree. Seemingly, developers will not be able to make their own advertising deals unless facebook agrees to approve it.

Google adsense was so far one of the best options for developers: they provide the safest kind of ads and their payout is much higher than the approved advertisers. Repeated attempts to get google or facebook to comment on the matter are left unanswered. Until now, developers were in limbo, as facebook vaguely suggested they are still in talks with google. Now it seems the decision has been finalized. This is basically an "FU" from facebook to its developers, depriving them of their best monetization options without providing an alternative (i.e. facebook ads revenue share).
43 is actually not bad. I would think that most people would pick something somewhere in the middle. A somewhat similar distribution as with the 1-10 results. Odd numbers more often than even numbers. Prime numbers even more often.
I don't see why you couldn't inject a CR LF? Sure it might not be that dangerous (although it could be depending on what validation the server does on # of args), but you're still modifying the query.
I think you're misunderstanding the pricing model. AWS is charging $10 per hour on top of the regular per instance charges, because if you have a small number of instances they may have to dedicate entire machines to your small instances. As you increase the number of dedicated instances they can put more of your instances on your dedicated machines, recovering the wasted resources.

Heroku and other multitenant PaaS services have no reason to use dedicated instances... customers concerned about running on multitenant platforms wouldn't even consider them in the first place.
> The only reason RIM hasn't totally imploded is that BlackBerries are dirt cheap which makes up for the lack of functionality.

I was looking for a new phone for company use a few weeks ago. The BlackBerry Torch was the only one in the store that wasn't included free with any of their longer price plans. In fact, I would have had to pay hundreds of pounds to get one, in addition to the usual multi-year contract tie-in.

I laughed and bought a £15 Nokia and a pay-monthly plan with no tie-in, because as a business user, what matters most to me is having a separate number from my personal mobile and a separate allowance of minutes/texts/etc. that I can expense. Smart phones are all very nice, but if you have a laptop and mobile broadband with you most of the time on business trips anyway, also mostly just a cute gimmick. (That goes for the other mobile OSes as well, of course, but at least they don't insult me by asking me to pay more for their device than I can pay for a real computer. If I were willing to accept a two-year tie-in, I might have picked up an Android phone.)
Not very "NoScript" friendly ... basically, nothing works (navigation, links) unless I disable it.

This always makes me pause to wonder if there's a compelling reason I should "temporarily" disable NoScript (which often then cascades to more sites I need to "temporarily" unblock), or just walk away. I often do the latter.

I suppose that would be a possibility, but we'd still have to configure every browser on every machine to support that CA and then generate a certificate for every new project. I'd rather just be able to click once in my browser to accept the unsigned certificate, instead of jumping through tedious hoops that I don't believe really help anyone.

Same here. I have done work for a number of large companies in software, healthcare, banking, etc. which I can't talk about. It leaves a grey hole in my portfolio.
> a CA will typically supply a certificate to anyone who can prove that they control the domain

This is true, but it is also a problem that needs to be fixed. A CA should not only check whether you control the domain, but should also check your (real-world) identity, and in the case of a company, should also check other documents. Yes, most don't, or do it only ineffectually, but they should do it.
> There are plenty of free (paper) newspapers that are funded by advertising revenue.

The ones here in Italy at least are complete fluff compared to 'real' newspapers, which do expensive things like send reporters to far-off lands.
I'd have thought the goal was "how do we stop people getting content without getting charged".

There are some features which read, essentially, "Check this box if you're an enterprise." This is one of them -- it addresses a very narrow slice of security concerns of the sort that people with a checklist need to address and most of us are (by implication) OK with ignoring. You should generally expect checking boxes like this to be very expensive, because anyone who checks it is not primarily motivated by money. (Similarly, Amazon isn't implementing this so they can get $10 per hour. That is absence of whee. Whee is landing the kind of client who requires this sort of thing to consider EC2 as an option. Their needs laugh in the general direction of $70k a year.)

I think you already have the answer to your question:

Where to innovate? A: Fix the "Garbage filled, car congested, slum infested, and highway deprived neighborhoods" on which 1B people depend on.

Recently, there has been a good rise in innovative projects aiming to help people in different sectors of the country. Given, the size of the country and lack of infrastructure -- these don't get a lot of popularity. But it is interesting to see solid steps of tiny progress.
What exactly are you arguing here?

That no one should ever goto India to do a start-up? That due to the conditions you describe(mostly true, I must admit), you cannot build a start-up and a flourishing company in India?

Look, I think you can have a fair debate about whether the odds of a start-up succeeding is better in India or place X. But Infosys, Wipro, Reliance etc. were all once start-ups before they became billion dollar companies.

It wonders me that most IPv6 bashing comes "mainly" from US where the IPv6 adoption rate is low. If you check Asia or Europe there are providers running IPv6 in their backbone for a decade (e.g. space.net), also nearly every provider at least announces one IPv6 prefix (at least for testing).

Imho this shows, that people dissing IPv6 today have not had a look into it and are now in a hurry.

Amazon e.g. does not announce a single IPv6 prefix, imho a bad sign about their networking competence: They don't even have a testing infrastructure ready.

There are plenty of free (paper) newspapers that are funded by advertising revenue

I read one of those (Metro) on my commute to work every day, and it is, to put it mildly, very very bad. The reason they can be funded purely by advertising is because they seem to spend pretty close to zero on any sort of actual journalism.

AAAAAHH! Everything is a Headline! TOO MUCH EXCITEMENT!!! Can't parse any words. back Back BACK!!!!

At least, that was my four seconds on the site. Any survivors who managed to parse some content? Were there articles behind those links? Did those articles have any text in non-bolded, non-48px, non-shadowed text on a non-red background?
I think you should definitely use multiple files. By all means concatenate them and minify them for production, but I find it very helpful to have CSS files for layout, forms, and specific sections of the site or app.

CSS complexity is increasing at a huge rate and the volume of CSS for even a simple site is running at hundreds of lines. Splitting it into separate files keeps it readable and reusable.
How Lawyers Benefit by using News Anchor
So NAT, and the plethora of unholy "protocols" for traversing it, are acceptable solutions that will last us indefinitely, but DNS is so unusable that we're better off typing in IP addresses?

The real damage caused by NAT is mostly invisible. Because some people don't have IP addresses, creators of applications and protocols must assume that nobody does, making many ideas complicated or impossible. We won't know what branches of innovation we've missed out on until this constraint is lifted. As James Burke teaches us, it's these little things that so often change the course of technology.

I'm surprised this is from the government. It comes across as very spammy - like an affiliate marketing site. The copy reads like a content farm and most of the links are basically ads for different services. Surely the government can't be that strapped for cash?! Good idea, horrible execution.. (Though the site design is quite nice).
The Web != The Internet

What about VNC/Remote desktop/SSH?

What about protocols that don't use port numbers like ICMP and basically everything that's not UDP or TCP?

What about sites that grab data from other sources, often needing IP whitelisting

Sharing IPs for SSL HTTP services is tricky, do dedicated hosting/VPS users actually want to give their certs to the ISP (private keys and all) so they can manage it?

15 more sites that forbid you from linking to them
The article states that offloading work from routers to clients is useless today because memory and CPU is cheaper due to Moore's law. Well guess what, traffic has increased as well.

What you must think about is "where are the bottlenecks". When you are connecting to a client on the other side of a large network (e.g. the internet) and you're not getting the same amount of bandwidth your last-mile connection should provide you with you have to ask yourself: what's keeping the speed down?

Turns out that router processing is still a bottleneck. And by delegating the mundane router work of handling packet fragments and doing checksum validation to the end terminals we are getting a much more efficient network than with IPv4. IPv6 headers are also much simpler making it easier (faster) to process with ASICs.

Stating that reducing work is useless because we work much faster now than way back when is not a good argument.
No. Most of it is trivial advice (for example; under "ideas" it links to TechCrunch) with links to other websites and lots of partner offers.

On one hand, it is a useful collection of links for entrepreneurs in the UK, and the offers, while not exactly brilliant, are worth looking at.

On the other it's not revolutionary.

According to the media there is going to be £1,500 of funding/incentives for startups as part of this project, but I haven't quite figured out if that is launched yet, or whether it means those offers and the other bits on the page (which is not very impressive if so).

I was talking to someone who is involved in this at some level and he said they are developing a mentoring scheme, events/tutorials and some awards/grants etc. But we will see.

Without the latter it's mostly a collection of "government backed" links and bluster.
