Sony blames "Anonymous" for stage-setting theft
So if you are stranded on an island with no one else, reason is pointless? I don't think so.... I think the so called confirmation "bias" comes from the fact that the primary mode of reasoning is induction not deduction. The implicit goal of the confirmation bias is to identify the causal connections that will convert a probable conclusion to a certain conclusion. For the Humean skeptics in the audience, yes, the sun will rise tomorrow and we know it. The authors of this study should learn a little epistemology before spouting epistemological theories.
Andreessen was an investor in Qik.

Andreessen did a huge deal to buy Skype.

Andreessen is an investor in Facebook AND on the board.

He sold Qik to Skype for $100M and now he's going to sell Skype to Facebook for billions?

"No conflict, no interest" indeed.
Does complaints to medical board actually get a fair hearing? I imagine it would be a little like complaining about the police to the local sheriff.
I really don't think that's the case for technical reasons.

I was trying to think of a good counterexample though and I realized that I can't think of any new first-rate apps Microsoft has "innovated" since they sent their app division down the .Net road.

Perhaps some new component that comes bundled with Windows (other than .Net runtime platform itself of course). Perhaps the movie maker thing, malicious software tool, etc. You might find a UI built with .Net, but I doubt you'll see much (if any) under-the-hood code written in C#.
My favorite is craigslist killer...because craigslist is already dead. So true.
There's no argument there. However I see more new projects that use MIT/BSD/Apache or similar than GPL. It could just be the projects I come across and/or are interested in, but I keep pretty broad tabs on technology and use various OSs on a daily basis. I suppose if you use Linux most of the time you will see a ton of GPL software relative to other licenses, but if you look at cross-platform and web stuff I see less GPL. Just my observation.

Chat Log: What It Looks Like When Hackers Sell Your Credit Card Online
Do you have any names in mind for this "talent" that Skype currently posess? I'm not familiar with the company's staff at all but from how the OSX client 5.0 release was such a failure & how bad the android client is I'm inclined to think there isn't much left at all.

He has the thread model backwards. If your advisary already can modify files on your computer, you have other things to worry about than SSL being compromised through the network.

The malware could just as well intercept your data before it is encrypted, for example, by installing a rogue SSL library. No need for sniffing and fake certs.

I am not a doctor but am very much involved in health care and have worked in a major medical center for more than a decade. From what I've heard, complaints to review boards are taken very seriously.
Mmm...I personally see a distinction between front-end developer and front-end engineer. What you're describing sounds like a FE dev.

A FE Eng. is still a software engineer, which means you ought to be able to pick up any backend language, be it Python, Rails, PHP, or a Java/C++ service. A lot of the time you'd be tasked with bugs/features that require a lot of FE work, and some backend work as well; it's so much more efficient for you to just write the backend handlers, esp. when it's usually a stone's throw away from an ORM layer or a simple SQL call.

I'd also consider knowing something about UI/UX to be a nice bonus. In reality, your UI designer isn't going to provide mocks for every page and every interaction; you're going to have to fill in the gaps, and probably do so without a huge dropoff in quality. At the same time, I usually find myself bringing another perspective from the UI side when talking w/ the designer, and since most places only have one UI guy it's valuable for them to get feedback, even if it's from someone not at the same level.
The layout of the compound definitely had some design or goal to it. To my eye I couldn't tell what the effect was--religious was my first guess, but what you're saying makes sense. After all, he was 1800 yards from the Pakistan ~WestPoint. Coincidences of that magnitude don't occur flippantly.

There really is an unwritten law somewhere that Google must and will expand into every possible web-related business category. They look more like Yahoo and AOL to me. Jobs says it best: People think focus means saying yes to the thing you’ve got to focus on. But that’s not what it means at all. It means saying no to the 100 other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully. I’m actually as proud of many of the things we haven’t done as the things we have done.

Several points which don't flow well into paragraphs:

1) On-board sound isn't very good, in my experience. Admittedly, my 2006 Macbook sounds considerably better than my 2010 Toshiba.

2) My favorite headphones are the Etymotic ER-4P. I found mine online for a bit under $200. They're an almost perfect aural match for my beloved NHT 2.5i speakers.

3) The Boostaroo is a horrible amp. Unbelievable hiss and distortion. I don't know how they're still in business. If you need a portable amp, look for a CMOY in an Altoids tin, off eBay. Cheap and (IMO) vastly superior.

4) A computer's case is about the worst environment I can think of for audio electronics. Get any sound card which gives a digital out, and feed that into any consumer-grade receiver that supports digital decoding, like a Pioneer from Costco. This way, your uncorrupted digital stream gets converted to analog well away from the noisy PC case. You'll be 90% of the way to a ultra-high dollar sound for a couple hundred bucks.

Doesn't even have to be online, Bitcoins also work really well peer to peer (unlike credit cards), and things like NFC-capable phones can take advantage of that in-person someday soon.

It's a completely independent currency, so products and services must begin to accept Bitcoin before you can use it to pay for things. That is, it's not interchangeable with debit or credit cards, so you'll need to acquire Bitcoins before you can do any of that (by buying them or earning them or mining them).

On the upside, it's much easier to send and receive Bitcoin payments than it is with credit cards. There are no "merchant accounts", nothing you need to fill out, no barrier to entry. Just run the Bitcoin daemon, it even has a convenient JSON-RPC protocol.
This is where the medical community as a whole, including medical-licensing boards should get together and look at the long-term negetive impact of such ethically dubious practises of a few doctors.

If this goes ahead, every member of the medical community would suffer due to the taint caused by a few rotten apples.
Yes, thank you. That's exactly the one I was thinking of.

I don't fancy Facebook buying Skype.
Assuming you are right about the tech (I have no idea), it's not necessarily a simple 'user acquisition.' I have a facebook account that I rarely use and a skype account that's always on.

If logged in to skype meant logged in to facebook I would become a very active facebook user.

I can't gauge the value of that to facebook because it's still not entirely clear how they make money (at least not the kind of money investors are aiming for), but it's possible skype is very valuable. Who I call, how long, what hours, these all tell facebook a lot about me. Possibly more than my facebook account does.

Different people use facebook for different things. Photo sharing, address book, networking, chat, email (sort of), social news, games. Skype can add another big bullet point to that list.

Again, it's hard to say good or bad for facebook's bottom line at this point. If you are going by their current revenue model, you would have to relate everything to demographically segmented pageviews but these kind of numbers assume bigger value than that.

Does Facebook have $3-4B in cash? I didn't think they had that much money. And even if they do, they wouldn't have much left after the deal to move other big plans forward. I guess if they go public first, then it could happen.
I don't think it's about the "look", it's about the crappy interpolation. 120fps video is NOT THE SAME as interpolated 24 or 30 fps video. Period. Full stop. It's that "look" that people are finding so objectionable.
I really, really wish more reviews would use real-world scenarios (file copying/moving, boot-up time, application load times, game level load times, etc) when benchmarking hard drives instead of almost useless theoretical tests or benchmark suites that give you a large number at the end that means nothing. All this review tells me is that hardware decryption is faster than software decryption.

School isn't about learning, it's about baby sitting and imposing respect for authority and ability to do make work. If you're lucky you'll get an education as a side effect. For myself I went to some of the best public schools in the country and the education I got was generally only comparable to what I could have gotten from self-study with the exception of perhaps one or two excellent teachers.
I originally designed levels for my yet-to-be-released iPhone game by coding the layout by hand using a calculator and pen+paper.

I switched to Inkscape to do level design and then finally spent a couple of hours banging out a crude designer in html + javascript. That was a major productivity boost.

I have the same issue myself. I feel that I generally have good taste but I am so inexperienced with design, that I would never come up with good looking design from scratch. That being said, I found out about this useful Mac program called Little Snapper. It helps you build a scrapbook of screen captures. I use it to capture webpages and design elements that I like the look of. I'm not saying to steal other people's design, but I find it to be a very inspirational source to browse through once you've built up a bit of a database.

Here's the link if anyone is interested.

Hypercard.

Speaking of which, why did Hypercard die in 2004? With the explosion in computer use by so many 'normals', I would think adoption would be huge. I'm not aware of any web-based technology that would enable Hypercard level of minimalist, user-friendly programming.
The numbers I would love to hear are a slight break down of where the uniques/comments/etc come from.

Disqus is used on a number of really big sites, some are listed in this blog post (such as RWW and Wired), but there are other massive examples, such as the MLB network of sites.

Of the 530m uniques and 35 million disqus-using people, is it a case of x% coming from y% of the websites that have disqus on them, where x is close to 100 and y is close to 0?

For example, 750,000 websites use disqus, if you take only the stats from, say, the 50 biggest, what percentage of the 35 million is that? (Replace 50 with any number that turns out more interesting.)

Any chance a disqus person might care to share?

I tried to use it for SIP recently and it did not work well for me at all. I am using Arch Linux and a tiling window manager. It doesn't seem to cooperate with my fairly normal sound setup and the interface is messed up on awesomewm at least. Not worth the effort.

The most reliable VoIP program I've found is twinkle, but it hasn't been updated in years afaik. I used Ekiga exclusively for SIP and video chat for several months but it was plagued with really annoying bugs, including frequent hard locks and unreliable presence/call functionalities.

I haven't been impressed with any Linux SIP/video chat applications to be honest. Empathy and Pidgin use gstreamer which usually doesn't work very well either. The most reliable video chat experience I've had is Skype, despite their buggy Linux client.

Sharepoint?

Isn't that primarily an ASP.NET web site UI? Yes, that's an example of the kind of thing that .Net is a good fit for. I think there are some COM components that SharePoint supplements MS Office documents with. I bet those are written with native code.

Visual Studio 2010?

If you recall the massive loss in UI responsiveness in the transition from the VC6 to VS.net, you'll see why they're excited about going back to native C++.

It's interesting how little value the answers to this question seem to have.

dating/t-shirts - Lots of people date and buy t shirts online. I don't get this.

social or mobile _____ - How long have these been pursued? Most people don't even have smartphones yet and the first and only social thing they use is facebook. Patience.

grocery delivery - I can get groceries delivered in my area (melbourne) by one of several big companies. 10% or 1% of a one of the biggest markets is not failure, is it?

Maybe it's not possible to answer this question in a useful way.
We are social animals all the way down.

Presumably now (and for quite some years, though how far back this extends I wouldn't personally be able to say) winning arguments is something that we're meant to do. It helps get your way in life, whether it's when negotiating the price of a car or part of your job. And 2000 years ago I'm sure there were plenty of other reasons for being able to win an argument, even if they weren't buying cars.

Maybe it's too recent in history to be classified as evolution, but certainly socially we can evolve that quickly, and presumably something like this does fall under the classification of things that can be influenced by how you are raised and the society around you?

(I'm absolutely no expert on evolution, or how social changes have influenced our developements, or on pretty much anything I just wrote about. But from a non-scientific point of view it seems to make sense to me, and I can say with absolutely confidence than confirmation bias probably didn't influence my thoughts.)
I'm surprised you got stuck on revenues. Typically if you can show that you are building something that people want in a big category in an area people are known to spend money, you would be ok. Ar you sur that was it? I would also reiterate what others have said: if you're grinding away on nuance, you need to simplify.
A more profound comment I could not have written.

It is amazing how much this rings true for me. I keep saying, once I launch....once I get X number of paid users...once I am doing $X/month in revenue....once I reach profitability...but this post and comment reminded me...I can no longer take today/tomorrow for granted.

This is one of the reasons why I used to force myself to take the night-shift to feed my 6 month old daughter, but then I gave that up in an effort to launch. I have to get my priorities back in order though.

I have to become more ruthless with my time and the time of my loved ones. When I am not working, I need to be spending more time with them.

I wish it weren't a struggle and there was some easy switch....until then, I have to keep being reminded by these types of posts...I guess.
