I woke up w/ an idea for a t-shirt and have been looking into this all morning so hope this thread gets some traction.

I was wondering if there was a way to use KickStarter.com to handle the business side of things. The reward would be the t-shirt and you would insulate yourself from risk.

I found this site http://yque.com/tshirtprinting2.html that gives a starting point on what it would cost.

I was also thinking about how you could use Amazon's fulfillment service. It would cut into profits but save some hassles.

I was thinking, use KickStarter for a 2 week run with a goal that would be sort of a breakeven profitability mark (using those costs above). If it doesn't hit the goal, you cancel orders. If it does, you order the shirts from a place like the link above and have them drop shipped to Amazon for fulfillment and then have them sent out.
Thank you, I've been looking for something like this for a quite while
The main criticism isn't that "the rich" have a lot of the income and assets, or that their share is increasing, it's that the rest of the people are getting less. The american society as a whole is getting richer, but the majority of the members of that society are getting poorer. Is that really the way things should be?

On the other hand, this piece only talks about inflation-adjusted net income. If you compare the quality of life or purchasing power I think that everyone is still better off with each year. Even though a typical middle-class family has less money now than 30 years ago, they can have mobile phones and a flat-screen TV and a computer and internet and one or two fuel-efficient comfortable cars, and none of those things existed 30 years ago.
The highest mean salary in the US (according to the Dept. of Labor) is "surgeon" at $219,770.

So, to answer your question, there is no profession (in the USA, at least) with "a high degree of certainty" of hitting $500k.

> In the edge case, where some unauthorized person has signed up using my email, then include some directions at the bottom of the email that instruct me how to deal with the abuse.

The same tactic (along with 1x1px images etc) was already used by spammers to determine "alive" addresses, whose owners do read spam and do click on provided links.

That's the reason I'd be very annoyed if I'll get such email.
I salute Madden for this move-- particularly not showing defenseless head-to-head hits and other risky plays. The recent science on football concussions and long-term neurological damage is very concerning.

The thing that is lost in the debate about NFL concussions is that a million American youth and college football players emulate the way the pros play. So enforcing responsible rules at the top of the game will ripple down through the entire sport. I'm glad that Madden realizes that their simulation game probably has a similar impact, and cheers for doing the right thing.

(I played football for 11 years including at the college level, so I love the game and am not some hand-wringing observer.)
> I used to think that these "security" companies were paying Microsoft in order to keep their software buggy so virus scanners and firewalls would sell more. Either Microsoft started fixing their software or stopped adding bugs on purpose so the security industry has had to find new sources of revenue.

You honestly think software bugs are some kind of AV industry conspiracy?
A recent survey found rather surprising consensus between people on different part of the political spectrum if you asked them what an ideal wealth distribution would be. Overall, people thought the top 20% should ideally own about 32% of the wealth; liberals preferred 30%, while conservatives preferred 35%. People making over $100k/year were slightly more pro-inequality, but still only gave 40% as their ideal target. No demographic group gave anything close to the current proportion, which is around 83%, as their ideal target.

So it seems like "top 20% should own 35% of the wealth" is roughly the consensus of the vast majority of Americans, give or take 5%, across many demographic and political groups. Where they differ is what, if anything, we should do to make that happen.

Google links to all kinds of bad sites. How come they haven't been blocked? Oh wait.
For "high degree of certainty", a median or percentile figure would be a better predictor than a mean.
This is often the case, a plan for the removal of waste to a disposal site is promised, and then once the plant is built, and the contractors have been paid, nothing happens. New plants are then built, it is said that a disposal plan will be put into effect, and still these plans never materialize.

I don't think its even that complicated. There are lots of companies online that actually do that business already. My question is more towards which one offers better quality and service.
The problem is that we have fewer IPV4 addresses then we have consumers who wish to consume IPv4 content.

Take our current situation: We still have large swaths of china and india without Internet connectivity, yet we are basically entirely allocated with demand for ipv4 addresses increasing.

V6 used to be hard to implement because older routers/switches implemented their support in software rather then in ASIC. This is now no longer an issue, which is why you see ipv6 connectivity sprouting up around the place. I would expect that when push comes to shove, we will see a fast v6 transition when it becomes a large enough deal for there to be > 0 consumer demand for it.
The way I'd try and design a fail-safe solution would be not to design it in the first place. No one is forcing us to build these things. But government contracts are lucrative and contractors exist.
The top 1% income-wise threshold is ~£100,000, rising to £350,000 for the top 0.1%.

£37,000 is very close to the top 10% threshold.

It's pretty bad, but I will say in their defense that sometimes the shoemaker's kids go shoeless.

My business's website (http://robotmodehq.com/) is pretty terrible and horribly out of date. I've had a redesign in the works for several months, but since I'm swamped with client work already there hasn't been a ton of pressure to finish it. I just point future clients at my past client sites instead.

Edit: Well now that I put it out there, I guess I should probably finish up the redesign, haha.
That ribbon is taking up way too much space considering 80% of it is disabled.
Every time I see a "periodic table of X elements" a question pops to my mind: what is the benefit of arranging elements totally unrelated to the natural ones using the same structure?

In the original table, elements are arranged in rows, columns and colors using their specific properties, which actually are not at all present in these html elements.

In this table I see only the meaning for the colors, but why not to use the two dimensions of the table to convey something different (losing, of course, the familiar shape)?
That would only seem to apply in the case where you own the majority of the company, so it wouldn't seem to apply to cases where >2 co-founders or 2 co-founders + investors exist.
Natty Narwhal with Unity: Worst Ubuntu beta ever
That makes no sense.

You create some random key K.

You encrypt k using the public key of the recipient, ie. e(k).

You encrypt the message using K.

You send both of those to the recipient. A cyphertext only attack can recover K from your message M. It is not then possible to recover a private key from K.

In neither case do you ever have the private key, as such it cannot ever be recovered from a core dump. In this script it seems like they are simply doing this twice, for some unknown reason.
Paid apps aren't very relevant in the long term though, for several reasons:`

- It's a race to the bottom. New competitors enter and price their app lower to compete. Existing players are forced to adapt. Marginal cost is zero so apps eventually settle at the lowest possible price point at which there is revenue ($1).

- People buy apps only once. Right now the market is growing, but once it has become saturated (everyone has a smartphone), sales for existing apps will drop to near zero.

- Freemium always wins the low-end. The low-end doesn't pay for content, so the only way to reach them is to offer the content for free. Revenue is made through advertising or by up-selling after adoption. The web went free because it turns out the low-end is bigger than the high-end.

If it's a given that the paid app market is going to dry up (and I think it is), then it's also a given that app developers will have to have a free strategy. Going free means having more eyeballs, because revenue per user is lower. So, you need to be on the biggest platform, and android is going to be the biggest platform. Why? Because google "gets it" and is spending all their resources into buying up market share, including the low-end (where most eyeballs are). Apple is not going to fight for the low-end, it's not in their DNA. Everyone else is simply not in a position to compete.

Look up the first nuclear pile experiments and you'll find out just how primitive you can be and still produce a functioning nuclear reactor.

There are large quantities of fissable materials which are not uranium. For example take thorium, which is roughly as common as lead.
I've updated the page to version 0.3, with a fixed and improved “Best” example and some improvements to the text, based mostly on the feedback from comments here. To all who've commented so far: Thank you.

In a few days, if I don't forget, I'll appoint whatever the page and samples look like by then as 1.0. Leaving things pre-1.0 bugs me more now than it did back when I originally published this.
Your definition of "safest" is not entirely true.

They are "safe" in the sense that the probability of a catastrophe is 1 in 10,000 years (that is the statistic).

But they are exponential orders of magnitude more deadly, with the consequences thereof lasting for tens of thousands of years, when that 1/10,000th year comes around.

With 500 nuclear power plants operating, we can expect a serious nuclear catastrophe every 20 years.

These numbers are based just on nuclear power plants and exclude nuclear submarines, warheads etc.

10 tips on working fast in Unix
The Forbes 400 contains a mix of entrepreneurs and inherited wealth, and tends to describe people as self-made if there is _any_ way of justifying that at all. For example, you typically might raise an eyebrow at the description of Philip Anschutz as 'self-made'... from Anschutz's wikipedia page:

"Anschutz bought out his father's drilling company in 1961" (age 22)

... as you do.

Paging down the list shows a quite interesting mix of self-made to lesser or greater extents, but a lot of Waltons and Rockerfellers... still.

More broadly, the emphasis on the ultra-rich isn't enormously illuminating either way, although it's worth noting that a lot of the 'entirely self-made' ultra-rich come from extremely comfortable upper-middle-class backgrounds, most obviously Bill Gates.

I would be suprised to hear any evidence supporting your "Forbes 40,000" line - got any, or are you just making it up?

First off no, nature doesn't thrive off solar power alone. At the very least hydrothermal vents provide energy to most aquatic life past the thermocline.

I'd also like to point out that the sun produces more radioactivity then anything likely to be found on earth, and fusion as a whole accounts for all the heavy metals ever created in the universe. (just some food for thought).
For apparently no clear reason, nuclear power plants are often built near the border. Usually people on the other side of the border usually don't profit in whatever way from the power plant. The situation may be different if you live on an island.
Friends of mine have created http://lockify.com/ exactly for the purpose you outline with the banking details.
That's based off search volume on the term isn't it? Meaning that there was a spike of new people hearing about the service. Just because the initial media attention has come off doesn't mean those attracted in the spike aren't still around.
Central standard system for software configuration.

Windows already has such a central system. The registry is used by almost all apps that aren't ported over from other platforms. And anyone can ship a management console snap-in to manage registry settings for their app. It's easy. Nobody does it because it's even easier to work some UI into your app to configure things.

Package Management

Windows couldn't use package management even if it wanted to. Packages are only necessary if you want apps to share dependencies. For various reasons sharing dependencies between apps on windows is not feasible (mostly because the dependencies are proprietary). Windows tries to solve the problem the same way OS X does: ship all the dependencies with the OS itself.

Generally, this is how most sites work. For each successive wave of popularity, they'll experience a spike followed by a decline, but the decline is to a higher level than it was pre-spike.
Something targeted at encouraging a strong hacker community around the OS - most likely lowering the barrier to entry for non-professional developers to build and distribute simple tools which add functionality in creative ways. Microsoft's idea of a developer community is still too focused on professional developers working on large scale commercial apps.

>Advanced lasers? Powerful magnets?

this 2, laser driven inertial confinement and tokamak, don't pose a significant proliferation risk even/when they are successful. Unfortunately this 2 is also least promising as the decades of experiments have clearly shown. As a result, there is no rush of investments into them.

The proliferation risk is creation of relatively compact, say, in the first generation, up to transport container size fusion device. Creation and maintenance of such a weapon wouldn't be possible to control as there is no radiation, no uranium mining/buying, no massive enrichment facilities, no breeder reactors,... nothing to control. Basically a nightmare for modern international politics.

At the end of 199x the government analysis shown that the fusion wouldn't be cheaper than 4c/kwt of coal power and it would pose the significant proliferation risks if developed and miniaturized into the deliverable device. Thus we have such a dismal investment and progress. Do you pay attention to Sandia?

The spike probably had a lot to do with the release of Tron: Legacy on December 17 who had a character named Quorra which could easily be misspelled as Quora. The trend for Quorra largely follows this spike as seen at http://www.google.com/trends?q=quorra&ctab=0&geo=all...

Better window management, with things like Expose, virtual desktops and window tiling. A rework of the file manager. Better integration with the command line. Basically small UI tweaks to make things slightly easier to work with. Something like Apple's Time Machine would also be kind of nice, and perhaps working to integrate some NTFS features into the core OS.
For what it's worth, I find your site pleasantly minimalistic. Most academics I know have a similar setup.
MagSafe WAS great, and now they broke it in the new models. The cable was pointing outwards in the old design and it really was almost impossible to pull your laptop when you pull the cable in any way.
Now the cable is pointing back (or forward) and its actually quite easy to pull the laptop (especially the lite air models). I almost dropped it few times because of that
/dev/urandom should be mixed with other sources of entropy (system statistics, epoch, low-level counters, cryptographic PRNGs like Yarrow)

It's already cryptographically secure PRNG, and already mixes sources that you mentioned, same as /dev/random (except on Linux /dev/random blocks when there's not enough entropy, and urandom doesn't).

Bash and the usual tools.

Integrated off-host backup mechanisms past Apple's Time Machine, with bare-metal reinstall.

A UI that wasn't so blasted proud of itself when it successfully connected up a USB key disk, and reversing the current UI of excessive chatter for one of quiet; only tossing messages on actual errors.

Transparent, integrated VM support, and with per-application VMs.

Cross-box-portable disk installations and full software re-installation mechanisms.

PostgreSQL and SQLite integrated.

Open-source multi-platform management and deployment tools. Make me want to manage the Microsoft boxes from Microsoft boxes.

Non-obfuscated data file formats, and a simple alternative to the current and over-grown Office suite; those tools can't decide if they're a text editor or a layout tool or a spreadsheet package or a database. (And yes, Windows and Office are two sides of the same coin.)

That Microsoft management and Microsoft marketing folks shut up until they actually have something to show, rather than their usual model of unintended death of product interest by a thousand leaks.

Stability is a given. No advertising is a given. Cleaning up the most fetid piles of legacy is a given. Fast install is a given. Fast upgrade is a given. Fast upgrades are a given. Fast roll-up patches are a given.

And all of which runs contrary to the existing Microsoft and Office implementations and models in the current market.

But I question why end-users are involved with Killer Features questions. Users classically stink at inventing Killer Features. All of what I've posted above are me to features. Not Killer Features. (In all honesty and not intending to slam Microsoft here, I can't identify the last killer feature that Microsoft came up. Which gets back to the 'good enough' comment.)
I guess the hype is wearing off? It was bound to happen when it was evangelized like the second coming of christ by TechCrunch et al. I'm guessing that the vast majority of users is realizing that it's not much more than a new Q&A-site that was fortunate/skilled enough to get a lot of Silicon Valley elite on board as users at an early stage.

It will be interesting to watch Quora in the coming times, they're facing some of the same troubles as HN is facing: it gained popularity because the quality of content was high due to the contributors often being well-connected SV-elite. Now they're facing the backlash of popularity; low-quality content on both the Q and A side of the equation.

EDIT: Not to say that SV-elite means guaranteed quality content, but "they" provided(provides?) a lot of interesting insight on Quora.

Web traffic is a very different thing. It's how many people actually visit a site. Here's an estimate of Quora's traffic:

You can see that while they've experienced a significant peak in traffic that has resulted in a recent decrease, they're doing very well.
> What’s upsetting is the number of people who have come to me with the idea of becoming miners: “I know nothing about software, but I can see there’s gold in them thar’ hills, and so I want to start up a company and make my million dollars! I’ve got an idea and everything, just tell me what magic incantation you did to get rich and I’ll be on my way.”

Reminds me of an interview I heard with Steve Martin (promoting his book Born Standing Up), where he talks about the advice he gives to aspiring comedians. When they ask him what the trick is to getting famous, he just says "hard work". He said they usually seem disappointed, because that's not what they wanted to hear.
Let assume someone signs you up for a dating site, creating your fake profile there. And uses some of your less frequent used email addresses, which you might be checking just a few times per year. Are you comfortable with scenario like that?
The rate of people who would visit your new product and then immediately leave would be high. Generally, this is called bounce rate.

A few people might see your product and stick around, but I think that the brand confusion (and potential law suit) might be strong enough con's to negate these few users.
Through simplicity I see you have avoided implementing necessary UI improvements.
