Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

At least it looks cool, organic and futuristic at as other posters already said. When I saw the video, the first thing that popped into my mind was:
I want to use this to build a retreat in some desert in the middle of nowhere.
Reminds me a bit of the settlements in Star Wars - A New Hope and those autarkic villages in New Mexico.
Illegal? Starting a startup is demanding beyond any normal job. If discriminating based on things that will take time from work becomes illegal, the industry is done in the US and will move somewhere else. Investors have little enough information as is. Take any of that away, and they start to wonder whether investing under those conditions is worth it anymore.

Just plain old text as it came in. I see now that is not what you were referring to. You're talking about JSON, XML, etc I now think.

There is also a print_xml function, which puts the tree into XML, but it's mostly used for debugging at this point, not export to other systems. I'm hoping that with time these kinds of features will crop up.
I originally registered one of my primary domains through Google, but I transferred the domain to my primary registrar before I had to renew it. --Back then there were some problems with people not being able to renew some domains and running into problems as a result.
I actually really meant this from a UI perspective where the _screens_ from different applications can flow back and forth between each other. But data is an equally important point to bring up.

The resulting CSS is really inefficient.

1. It should only write the URL of the background image once, and only background-position on the rest.

2. The most widely used width/height should be specified as the default and width/height properties only included when it differs.

Also, to avoid the need of any padding between the images you can emulate background-crop with pseudo elements (http://nicolasgallagher.com/css-background-image-hacks/).
Advertising, no contest. Annoying, intrusive ads I have no qualms about adblocking, because they will never actually get me to buy a product. Helpful, non-invasive ads and clearly disclosed affiliate links? Feel free, since I'm getting some benefit too. There is no way for me to benefit from you using my cpu (ignoring the actual content in this comparison, obviously).
> On android and iphone I typically just wrote front end by hand. While the drag and drop functionality in xcode was very nice, I felt restricted by it.

Those two are actually very different actions in Cocoa development. From what I remember, when you use drag and drop to create objects, those objects are actually created and serialized when you save the interface file. Creating the front end in code is a very different process in comparison. I have to agree that creating iOS UIs using the Interface Builder portion does feel restrictive at first, but it's actually an amazing tool for creating and using standard UI elements.
Linked in is a must for start-ups, unemployed people, people searching for better jobs, people keeping up to date on industry standards and standards committees, meet-ups, events. It's also a public list of who is connected to whom, because it shows who you really know. Another good point is that, the questions that get answered by experts, presumably unemployed, or in search of consulting gigs, are really good answers and the information on that site is sometimes genius for developers.
I was homeschooled. I listened to tons of music. I have found it probably decreased my ability to concentrate. However, I have a friend (also homeschooled) who swore by the "Batman Begins" soundtrack to accomplish his math studies. So I think it depends purely on the person.

And, on another note, music is the least of your worries as far as distractions go.

(And on a purely suggestive note, let your kids explore anything and everything. That is how I am what I am today. I took way too many breaks in English to go learn about this, that and the other [especially programming and computers]. I still turned out okay—A's on all my college english papers so far.)

I think your last sentence is the most poignant.

Important thing is understanding the fundamentals
and seeing the overall patterns.

And the most damning for C and Java in my opinion. C and Java's syntax (which does matter to those who are learning), is so verbose as to hide a lot of what the fundamentals and patterns are.

This is why I chose Ruby and Python. The languages syntaxes are clean and are never in the way, allowing new programmers an easier time understanding those fundamentals.
Not at all. I can honestly say LinkedIN is one of our top lead sources.

It is also fantastic for simply getting quick context on people I'm about to meet, and to find some conversation topics.

Even if you're not looking to hire or get hired it's a great platform for bizdev. Consider you're interested in working with/purchasing from/selling to company X, you can use linkedin to figure out what indirect connections you have to people in those companies.
The main claim in this patent is about you tagging a person and them being notified and allowing them to reject the tag.
This reminds me of someone hiring Pivotal Labs for their dev work.

I actually don't think it's faster or slower to develop on one platform vs. another. The speed of releases you might see from companies probably has more to do with their release cycles and resources they devote to it.

Also a lot of Android developers these days are much newer to the platform than iOS. Thus there is a certain amount of learning involved which can slow down development. As I said in the article, iterating on UI was much faster on Android than iOS which can be a big win if that's where the complexity of the app lies.
I assume it only makes sense for US companies with US visitors? Or do they have other locations? Latency from Europe might be to long?
1. Yes, I've read these books.

2. Yes, I've taught my students this way.

3. I've chosen Ruby, SQLite, and the like because of how easy it is to go from 0 to learning. Have you ever spent 8 hours trying to figure out a messy install of MySQL? You can bet a learner will.

Actually, tagging photos was one of the 'killer features' that caused many people to migrate from Myspace.

Like all great, yet 'trivial', ideas, it seems crazy that no one thought of doing it before them (or if they were, not at the same scale).
It's still extremely difficult to observe network activity in vivo. Even the most sophisticated methods can only observe tiny fractions and only a single property of neurons at a time. A large scale in silico network makes it trivial to tinker with properties of cells and neurotransmitters and observe how the activity of the network changes

We already do things 10x to 100x as fast, but in a parallel way. Look at reddit's "new" page after a popular post reaches the top. You'll have dozens of similar submissions riffing on the popular one within an hour (breadth of 100 people submitting in parallel, not depth of one person submitting serially).
I didn't go back to logic chips, but I built a Z80 machine with 8K RAM and 8K EPROM. I designed all the random addressing and latching logic from HC series chips, and wired it up to sensors and motors to make a maze-running "mouse." Getting the noise off the board was a bitch.

I etched my own two sided board, soldered the vias by hand, soldered all the socket by hand, designed the power circuitry for the motors, etc, etc.

It was fun, and I learned a lot. I wrote my own serial communications routines in Z80 assembler, and soft loaded all the code until I had it right, then blew it into the EPROMs. Got it wrong several times, and eventually plugged the EPROM into its socket the wrong way round and fried it.

I still have it somewhere ...
I am an open networker on LinkedIn, and here is my opinion.

Pros:
1. Good way for recruiters to find you. (I am a consultant)
2. Good way to keep in contact with co-workers (past and current).

Cons:
1. Too much spam, way too much spam.

Claim 1 is the primary part of the patent, and I don't see how it would apply to generic tagging.

Flickr does have this same feature, but they only added it in October 2009. Before that they just had generic "notes" and I would guess they are not particularly happy with the patent.

A small room several paces across, a green floor, blue walls and ceiling. A dim bulb overhead just out of reach. Beyond the walls, nothing; void without even a large expanse and stars to ponder. I've had a couple of lucid dreams end in that room, with the walls seeming to softly vibrate, due I suppose to the instabilities of my brain's simulation of the geometry. Deep despair threaten when I contemplated being stuck there, but I always had the hope that I could wake up and get back to this nice stable world of "reality" that we share.
I recently posted a job opening on Craigslist for a UI Designer and iOS dev that asks for a Linkedin profile. They're easier to scan than most resumes (though for designers we ask for portfolios).
There is no meaningful difference to people that understand the difference between the two. Unfortunately to the general public, a "hack/hacker" is scary whereas a "URL exploit" sounds closer to a technical bug. Semantics matter in the world of public perception despite the facts pointing out otherwise.
Judging by its description (CDN-like functionality?), it might also do a great service if it offered to dual-stack the sites that use it. Even if time before June 8th runs short, I am sure they would get some new customers because of this.

The anti-ddos functionality is indeed pretty cool. I guess the reliable detection of "anomaly" vs. "spike in traffic" is the secret sauce - but if not, would be entertaining to know more about that.
While that is often an interesting question, it isn't very interesting in this case, because for all J such that J is a Jerf, J demands control over J's brain state.
Sure, no problem. I'd honestly be more inclined to pay on a quarterly basis, and I think my threshold for something like this is probably around $4/month. If it were me, I'd eliminate the free plan (or take it down to one domain). Also, at $4/month, I wouldn't care whether it was ad-supported, so that's another potential revenue stream.

Is this kind of thing really helpful? I mean if I think about what "Hacker" means to me, it's someone who's passionate enough about computers to explore the inner workings and make cool things.

It seems to me that if you need a guide for the journey, you're already kind of missing the point.

No, and coyotes can't survive head-on collisions with tractor-trailers, dynamite explosions, anvil impacts, etc. Yet most of the baby boomers who grew up watching the Warner Brothers cartoons were not gravely harmed by them. Is the concern that some impressionable child might try to swim away from a polar bear? The danger seems remote.

But props for mentioning Roland Barthes.
Tagging people in photos (and other things) is a fairly brilliant way to grow the activity in a social network. You send people a notification that they were tagged in something, they are very likely to visit the site to see what it was.

Thomas Metzinger addresses this exact question in his book _The Ego Tunnel_ ([1] a great non-technical overview of his work in Philosophy-o-Mind/Neuroscience), and he comes down strongly on the side that any artificial generation of "consciousness" would be reckless and could likely increasing the amount of suffering in the world.

There is actually quite a ways to go before we have high fidelity macro models of the heart in action. (The numerical research I do is closely related). 3D fluid simulations are expensive. Hopefully the quasi-discreteness of the brain reduces the computational requirements for a high fidelity simulation.

Nice. I couldn't find the description on how long-term public keys' sharing will avoid man-in-the-middle attack. It's unclear how clients will obtain long-term public keys from new servers and how servers will obtain long-term public keys from new clients? What if long-term keys will be compromised or updated? Is there keys' revocation procedure?

The page http://curvecp.org/security.html says literally the following regarding man-in-the-middle attack:
"The client knows the server's long-term public key in advance, before making a CurveCP connection. Servers that differentiate between clients know the clients' long-term public keys in advance."

I cannot imaging how all servers can know all clients' (billion of clients) long-term keys?

Assuming you're a materialist, a fully functional running model of a brain at the neuronal level would necessarily give rise to consciousness, and should be treated with the same ethical rules as biologically generated consciousness.

For some people, yes. For me personally, no. I find them interesting, but I'm not investing in them really.

I think the best way to do it would be to ask, and be very clear about what you're doing. Some people would gladly help you, but others may be more wary.

LinkedIn has a great structured search tool. Try finding a better list of Perl programmers in the Bay Area who went to [school you went to] or worked at [bigco you worked at]. Or try finding a better way to run ads targeting facilities managers in the Midwest.

LI's big problem is that most people don't have a good reason to keep coming back, so the average reliability of their profiles is in gradual decline. But they're trying to mitigate that with their Twitter partnership, which is causing some of the big business-y blogs (Business Insider, Mashable) to tout them as a sharing option.

Meanwhile, the tiny minority of their audience that consists of HR professionals and active job-seekers will always be responsible for most of their pageviews. That's just the nature of the service.

Thanks for this. Hadn't actually considered a quarterly charge. That's a good idea. Low monthly charges start to get difficult with per transaction standard fees (like paypal).

One more quick question. Are you acting as an individual i.e. freelancer, or agency? I don't think an agency would mind paying $12/month if they had a few hundred domains, so perhaps the domain limits are off and it would be better like this:

Professional - $5/month - 100 domains

Agency - $12/month - 500 domains

Max - $30/month - 2000 domains (can't see much demand for this plan)

I agree the free plan doesn't seem to make much sense. A better option would be to give a free trial period on the paid plans e.g. 7 days.

* Entering education is a bit cumbersome. My team is made of EE and CS students from CWRU in the BS, MS, and PhD programs, so our education section looks pretty weird.

Your consciousness is your brain hardware. The software exists in the neuronal connections and weights (both of which change over the course of your lifetime), and if these are taken from a real brain (presumably the brain that's been sliced and scanned) then the resulting simulation will be conscious. Specifically the consciousness of the dead person whose brain was used as the model for the simulation.

That is unless you are not a materialist, i.e., you believe that the mind is the product of some non-physical plane that somehow interacts with the physical world through the brain...
I guess the goal would be to choose work where you don't rely on people at slower clock speeds (say working on deep algorithm stuff - you can get low latency connection to a library and research stuff 100x faster).
Or you could change your clock speed / put your consciousness on hold until slower-time triggers mean you can do something productive, and then ramp up so that your end of things happens very quickly.
But, by that logic we're all using hacked systems; as surely we uses systems daily (OS X, Win, Linux) that are full of holes. Right? No.

There's clearly a difference in getting hacked and closing a hole.

It's not "pulling crap", as you say. For one thing, until you sign the contract, you're not bound in any way. Even then, the first few months are typically defined as a trial period, in which both parties are free to walk away. Better opportunities always crop up, and you can just say "sorry, a better offer has popped up".
That sounds really interesting, thanks for link.
