It's up to other investors in Facebook to raise this issue. Andressen would at least be expected to recuse himself from any discussions or votes on the matter and I expect he would be sued anyway if the purchase went sour.

Are there any good resources for improving one's approach to Project Euler (or Open CS) problems? I tend to brute force everything and would like to improve and diversify my approach. However, when I search for solutions, I tend only to find people's best-effort code, and would like to see more of a break down of multiple approaches.

This blog seems like a good start, but more diversity and comparison would be ideal:
http://project-euler.blogspot.com/
Yeah. I had to close the article lest my head explode.
Glad to see I'm not the only one annoyed by the sluggish feel of .net applications. That's why I still use good old C++, albeit with some Borland extensions around the Win32 API. My clients are grateful for it.
IMO XMPP/Jingle is the best alternative:

- Open standard

- Supports federation between different servers

- Open source cllients available

- Also integrated into GMail (that's the technology that is used when you do a voice or video call)

- Will be fully integrated into Android starting with version 2.3.4

what a bunch of rubbish.

>Cats do a lot of damage to local wildlife.

even if they were doing it, the damage by cats would be incomparably lesser than damage by humans that live in the same village, town, ranch, etc...

Actually, cats are protectors of the wildlife. Whenever cats are removed (it happened on more than one occasion that such idea got implemented by the stupid human race), the wildlife gets significantly damaged by rats, rabbits, etc... (the rats what humans bring with them as a little bonus as if all the other damage wasn't enough)

>Keeping your pet cat under control in Australia and preventing them from roaming around is exactly the right thing to do.

yep. Otherwise the pets would damage the wildlife which is happily roams around where people live. Are you kidding? Or just too lazy to think?

Right, the idea is only a small part of the equation, actually getting it to a state that people like it is the other.

These ideas are probably simply the most popular startup ideas. Which means they also fail the most. Or simply, no one got them right yet.

For example, Dropbox became a big hit where a helluva lot of online drives and sync services failed before.

Before I watch any long videos, I would like to know how he explains all the Bin Laden videos released on Al Jazeera?

I remember one specifically which was released to rebut claims of his death several years ago, in which he mentioned recent news to prove that he was, in fact, alive.

I'm not unwilling to believe that the government would lie to us or whatever, but I do require both proof and convincing explanations of any available data to the contrary. Right now, we have lots of confirming evidence and no good explanations of why it was all wrong.

That said, I expect the conspiracy theories to go on for decades. I'm sure there will be TV specials discussing it, just like there are for JFK, the moon landings, Roswell, etc.

i turn off the pc and disconnect the brain from my project. Focus on something else, possibly something that require not much brain usage and that is fun! Reward yourself with some good time for your hard work and when you'll get back to your project you'll be more motivated.
Forcing yourself to focus it's not productive!
I believe that's the geometric mean he's referring to.

(a*b)^1/2 # geometric mean, square root of the product of the two numbers
(10^5 * 10^6)^(1/2) # substitute in for 10^5 and 10^6, the limits of the six-figure range
(10^(5+6))^(1/2) # simplify inner product
(10^11)^(1/2) # more simplify
10^(11 * 1/2) # move the 1/2 in, and ...
10^(11/2) # simplify
10^5.5 # and finally you get the same result

The geometric mean always struct me as an interesting idea in mathematics

Anything that makes programming "easy for non-programmers or businesspeople"
Why?
Make Car repair "easy for non-mechanics" ... presumes people want to work on their own cars. They don't.

I don't buy in to this answer. People obviously connect with the idea of creating content on their computer whether it's word processing, creating music, or editing photos. I think people like the idea of creating their own programs too.

The problem with general programming is that the output is too ambiguous, so it's impossible to build simple tools to express them. Lego for instance has a drag and drop tool for programming mindstorm legos but the input and output are a known quantity. With PCs it is impossible to anticipate everything that can and will be built.
US Citizenship and Immigration Center

The blog post said that they detected traffic patterns in their network that they couldn't account for. They also said that they checked logs and checksums and found no intrusion yet.

So the post basically means: "we have no idea what's going on/went on, but here we are, informing you early. Here's the steps we have taken and here's the steps we are going to take"

You can't have everything: On one hand, everyone wants to be notified early (see playstation network breach), on the other hand, people want to know everything when they get the information.

I think that's asking a bit much. Either we get informed early ("we've seen something strange, but we have no idea what's going on") or you want all information ("we've discovered and researched a breach. here is what's happened", followed by a story that spans two weeks).

As lastpass contains potentially sensitive data, I'm happy they chose to inform early, even before they had a complete picture.

(disclaimer: I'm not using LastPass nor any other password manager as the risk of losing access to that and to all the services I used them with is too high for me)
I'm so glad I haven't owned a television for over a fifteen years. Setting up and using one wasn't exactly straight-forward even back then and the situation apparently is only none the better but actually worse. I get shivers from looking at the preferences settings of VLC already: I wouldn't want that in a television as well if I had one.

Assuming you're not too old to take this advice -- you can just wait it out. In the meantime, follow your interests.

Perhaps eventually you will feel differently, or random chance will step in to decide for you that it's time to have a kid.

But in the meantime, if you're doing something worthwhile, you do not have to rush away to check the "kid" box.

Personally, I don't like the heavy Java and C# VMs at all.

Browser javascript VMs seem to be much more lightweight, which is good for interactive clients, and lately with NodeJS they gain a lot of momentum server-side too.
Yeah, would be great to get that statistics/benchmark as well, because now that does not making huge clue.
TechStars Outshines Y Combinator As The Top Startup Accelerator
The best algorithms in the world won't make up for a lack of data. Few companies are in a position to make good recommendation engines.

I also don't think math is to be blamed -- human psychology plays an important role -- i.e. I may be interested in software-dev stuff or in startups stuff, but not every hour of every day. Basically I'm inclined to read such stuff only in the morning, while drinking my coffee (the perfect time of day for big plans).

But in the afternoon I prefer reading articles about my OTHER (lighter) interests / hobbies, like photography. And I also prefer getting stuff solved, like finding an electrician to fix the poor wiring in my house or searching for gifts for my wife/child.

For any person on this earth, immediate interest in something is relative, based on time of day, time of year, mood, current needs, current problems, current hobbies, etc...

A good recommendation engine is practically unfeasible -- because if it cannot anticipate your future desires, both short-term and long-term, then it's useless; because people "search" for stuff as soon as they realize they have a new need/desire, and then it is too late to make a recommendation (at this time, the user's history is only useful to "understand" / parse the search query).

Recommendations need to happen before the user searches for stuff.

For example -- I searched for books on drawing / colors on Amazon, and bought 2. Amazon should have anticipated that I may like getting into photography, as they do know a lot about me, but it didn't, even though Amazon's recommendations are some of the best. Now that I already bought stuff, I don't care about special offers on the same kind of stuff that I already bought.

Also, people with "hackish" attitudes have done pretty amazing stuff btw, contributions to AI included -- software isn't just math, it's also biology / chemistry / physics / psychology / philosophy, amongst others.

Micropayments is a subject of interest to me, because my current hybrid honours-project-slash-startup work is in approximately that field.

The business model I'm following most closely resembles the now-defunct Contenture; Readability is similar but not identical. Obviously I have some additional technology secret sauce or there wouldn't be a project in it to satisfy university requirements.

To me the main failing of conventional tipjars is the requirement to manually tip the recipient. To my eyes Tipjoy was the first real twist on this -- that you could commit to tip before paying -- but otherwise it was the same as Flattr and the dozens of others that have come and gone in this space. Flattr's twist is OK, but I think imposes even more potential cognitive overhead in terms of "I really like this site, I need to find more articles to flattr".

I think that the Contenture / Readability / my-company-name-here model works better because it requires no thought on the part of the customer. Payments are divvied up automatically. No transaction cost ("Do I tip or not?") is imposed on the user.

Mind you, my most imposing business obstacle is getting a merchant account. Businesses which take money from party A and pay some portion to party B are basically viewed as kryptonite crossed with rat poison by the banking sector.

Fair enough, too -- such businesses have statistically high rates of complaints, failures and money laundering shenanigans.
Take this advice! It's on the mark 100%.
I feel the same way, and I'm doing the exact same thing right now. I formed a support group with one of my buddies from college, and we check in on each other and demo our product to one another as we develop. We also challenge each other to see who finishes their next version first, and we give each other feedback and ideas for refinement.

tldr; find a fake cofounder (someone else who's also doing a startup alone), so you can use each other for moral support + encouragement.

I guess that means that IBM - doing pretty much everything in IT - will fail any day now.
Oftentimes you just have to buckle down and do work you don't want to do. Many other times though you can figure out an alternative.

Maybe there's someone you can partner with to do the annoying (to you) parts? Or maybe you can just not do them at all.

Better to keep moving forward than stall out on something that can be skipped for now.

I totally agree with your points 1 and 4. Ofcourse your processor can calculate sound, but it's the AC that is important. When I plug in my headphones in my onboard soundcard and move my mouse I'm hearing noise and hiss. When I play music I can hardly hear it, but it's there and you will notice it when the music is soft.

Need great sound: get the digital signal out of your PC and have an AC outside your hardware.

What exactly do you mean by this? What is there that you can do in Javascript that you can't do in Coffeescript?
Maybe it's just me, but I find the problems on Open-CS poorly explained.

For example, in problem 9, it asks to find a number in a matrix 'generated by the same algorithm', but neither does it tell what that algorithm is nor is it obvious how the algorithm works, given the examples.

Similarly, in problem 20, some arbitrary tree is given with no explanation on how it is generated or what property it has, but you are asked to return the position of a given number in that tree.

In problem 22, numbers are divided into substrings, which makes no sense.

In Project Euler, the problems are carefully explained and demonstrated with a small example, so that you can concentrate on actually solving the problem instead of guessing what the author might have wanted.
KNN "no learning involved": one probaby wants to cross-validate K at the least, if not learn the metric.

Some methods say online learning isn't applicable. As pointed out elsewhere, objectives for K-means and mixture models could be fitted with stochastic gradient descent. In general there is always an online option. For example, keep a restricted set of items and chuck out ones that seem less useful as others come in.

First, it's not a given.

Second, selling the company puts money in the pockets of the shareholders, while going public means the company is getting the money. Going public, by definition, means revealing your data, your balances, budgets, revenues, it might not look as good as it is now, especially in a bubble-based market.

It's (very) basically like the usual 'let's make a deal' bargain, you can either get 1000$ now, or gamble for the envelope that might have ten times that, but might also have much less.
Sure, that's how it's marketed. And granted, it can be used to much good. But from what I've seen of it, the dynamics are like any other social network. A suit-and-tie one, but still.

If I were the product manager of a search engine and our chief competitor had an offering (411) that we didn't (at least branded in our name) and the cost to deploy said offering was cheap (because we already had one very similar due to a recent acquisition), wouldn't it be worth the relatively trivial investment (from a large company's perspective) to deploy said offering? Even if it were for reasons of "me too," so what? I believe most brand managers would reach the same conclusion, especially if the costs were low.

Furthermore, does the track record not show that Microsoft re-brands (assimilates) its acquisitions eventually? How do you (or the author of the linked post) know that the deployment of a Microsoft-branded 411 service was not part of this process?

Finally, everyone in the speech recognition industry knows that it requires a large sample set (utterances) to refine a speech recognition engine. If you are building one from scratch (Google), you will do anything and everything in your power to collect utterances. To think that Microsoft and everyone else in the industry did not recognize what Google was doing with GOOG-411 is preposterous.

Addendum: I don't think this means they're somehow abandoning .net. In fact the early Windows 8 leaks reveal that there's a new "System Language Runtime" which is a lower-overhead subset of the CLR designed to allow you to do things like write shell and IE extensions in managed code.

They are also integrating the new JavaScript engine from IE9/10 into the OS, and probably all OS features will have JavaScript APIs as well as managed/native ones.

However, .net APIs will no longer be emphasized over native and JS ones, the three options will just be treated as peers.

How is it that you can verify someone's DNA,as opposed to say, their brother, without their own DNA? So what if they say they had his sister's DNA to compare to? It could be his brother who was living there and died. How does that prove it was him? I'm honestly asking this, not trying to be difficult. I know photos can be photoshopped, but everyone can debunk those. Obama should show his death photo and let us decide.
I was referring to data compression not the size of the screen. A Blu-Ray is about 1% of the size of an uncompressed HD film. Of course if you're seeing a digital copy in the cinema it's been compressed down already so a Blu-Ray is about 13% of that. But a Blu-Ray is a tiny amount of data compared to what you see on film. So if you're already prepared to live with that, does tweaking a setting on your TV make that much of a difference to the average consumer? How much of a difference does it make?
