Tip: If Firefox is slow / consuming too much memory, start a private browsing session then close the browser. When you restart it, all the tabs will re-open to the previous pages, and the memory footprint is usually smaller.
I have no idea, all I know is that when I can't do it it feels like something is deeply wrong :-)
Reason's simple: you have to support in your 11g server clients written in the dim and distant past, so you can't monkey with the protocol too much. You could do this as you suggest by subscribing for DCN events when your transaction completes, but obviously not with SELECTs.

> IPC is very expensive.

I have trouble taking that at face-value; Linux seems to do OK with it and, for a while, there was a little-bitty web browser for Macs called Stainless (http://stainlessapp.com/) that did one-process-per-tab, and it seemed quite performant. Better, in fact, than all other browsers at the time. Unfortunately, it hasn't been updated in about a year now...

> Note that chrome's default is not per-tab either.

Oh yeah, somebody pointed that out to me back on that Reddit thread, too. I forgot. Still, I really think it should be, and that it should be considered standard practice for all browsers.

A while back, my frustrations with browsers resulted in a quickie project that I called "Crash My Browser" (still up at http://crashmybrowser.com/). I haven't tested it with recent browsers, but, once upon a time, at least one of the tests on that page could completely cripple not just that page's tab, but the entire browser, for most browsers. Since nobody seemed to get why that was a really stupid design flaw, I figured a demonstration was in order.
There's a practical (for some value of practical) defense against this attack: "Countering Trusting Trust through Diverse Double Compiling." It's fairly clever. http://arxiv.org/pdf/1004.5548

If I recall correctly, here it is in short:
1) Invent a new virtual machine ISA.
2) Write a trusted compiler that targets that ISA. It is totally OK if this compiler is crap as long as it is correct.
3) Build the original compiler with the new compiler. The result is a cross compiler, running on your new VM-ISA and targeting your host architecture (e.g., x86).
4) Build the original compiler again with the output of step 3. The result is an x86-hosted compiler targeting x86.
The abstract seems to imply the last step:
5) Diff the output of step 4 with the untrusted compiler.

The point is that URL shorteners hide those parameters; you're reading it the wrong way around :-)
They do put a lot of care into their products, but their cult following does seem to play an important part in protecting their image. There's another thread on the front page of HN where people are describing how their Apple laptop power adapters burst into flames.

I am typing this on an iPad that periodically loses its wifi connection. Googling the problem yields dozens of complaints about this issue. Apple supporters on these forums blame wifi routers, even though the iPad is the only device with these issues.

I like the App Store, but, by default, I can't buy games on my iPad - why? Because I live in South Africa, and unlike every other device manufacturer with an app store here Apple hasn't applied for self rating games, which, according to most sources, is a straightforward process. Again, Apple and its supporters don't bother mentioning this little detail.

Apple does put a lot of care into their devices, but I also think there is a tendency to deny issues, to brush them over and to rely on the cult to impart an aura of invincibility.
You might want to get your system professionally checked for the presence of a rootkit or virus. We just cleaned up two client systems this week with a particularly sneaky rootkit that only targeted network connections to Google. The only reason the client called us was because their Cradlepoint router was warning them about DNS poisoning and refusing to otherwise load pages for them; there were no other signs of infection.

If you opt to check it yourself, you'll want to scan your hard drive, offline, from another system, and use a good tool. Kaspersky's is actually pretty good for this.

Or maybe you just have a simple network issue. :-) No way to tell without a traceroute or a ping or some other diagnostics.

I agree that there is nothing wrong in it. However the Indian market and Chinese market are different in this regard. For example there is no need for an Indian language based search(since most people use English), there is no need for an Indian facebook(since people are allowed to use facebook). My point is that in a lot of cases, the US based product just works out of the box for the Indian market, whereas that's not the case in the Chinese market(due to language, culture etc.), so there is much less upside in an Indian knockoff than a Chinese one.
Does anybody know if the adapters are covered by the warranty?
You missed the worst part of the new magsafe. They don't perform the job magsafe was invented for: preventing an accident from yanking your laptop off a table.

Out of the 4 possible directions a cable can be yanked - 2 of them (towards the laptop body and the direction the magsafe cable is pointing) are now more likely to pull the laptop than they are to safely disengage the cable.

Bookmarklets are awesome except they involve more user interaction than should be needed. I feel like almost every time I could use a bookmarklet, a plugin would do more with just as much user initiative.

They also don't have a favicon (or I haven't seen one in FF4) without a user pre-visiting a destination page, so they look unpolished.

Why You should Use WordPress to Build a Web Directory On
This review is absolutely asinine, which is clear regardless of your leanings towards the concept of a browser-as-an-os device. It'sa thinly veiled one-sided lash-out against a new technology which is apparently disruptive to MS's (or at least this blogger's) world view.
I had the pleasure of reading this paper during a computer security course. To complement the paper, the prof gave us the task of writing a 2-level polyglot quine (a program in language X that outputs a program in language Y, which outputs the original program). It was my first exposure to quines, let alone polyglot quines, so you can imagine how much I struggled. This paper will always remind me of the frustrations I experienced, and the brilliance of the moment when the "trick" finally clicked for me.

Lots of programmers need not equate to programmers who can build products. It is a mindset thing. The lower burn rate theory has already been tested with a company called True Sparrow Systems in Pune, who were the building team behind SocialMedian. The cheaper programmers angle eventually slides further towards the service model, which is good, but not very good if you are looking to put together companies that build products.

1. Big exits, outside digital, do happen here. They need not always be international.

2. 2-3 players show a healthy and probably growing market. Ability to attract investment is always tied to the potential of the market and ability of the company to bite into it.

No doubt about the market size in India, the question is about the right approach to unlock it.
Once I went into the city (Pune) and was informed that nothing (given, in a certain area) would be open until 11am.

I'm guessing this was a while back.

I live in Pune right now. Yesterday I bought supplies from the supermarket, got a haircut, and bought breakfast all before catching an auto to my office at about 8:45AM. Admittedly, my building's gym opens up relatively late (7:15).
My impression is that it's a historical milestone for anyone with a strong belief in labor laws, union politics and so forth. At least, it was from such people that I heard about it in the first place - I'm not American so I would not have come across it in school.

It is, but emphasis on historical. That happened 100 years ago, and - as historical events go - it doesn't seem to be one that's at the forefront of the average American's consciousness, at least not that I've noticed.

It strikes me that you're likely to receive some extremely hostile publicity if someone thinks you're leveraging the (perceived) familiarity of the term as a branding mechanism - you'll be demonized as a stereotypical callous capitalist milking the suffering of the helpless workers for a quick buck and so forth. That this isn't your intention at all would be beside the point if someone chooses to get worked up about it.

Well, it's not my project and I don't have any say in it; so I guess they'll have to take their chances. But I really don't think it will ever be an issue.
The market is global

Excellent point, and the one I came here to make. I think you're off, though, on the reason YC companies are so successful.

It's not the quality of the startups or the quality of the talent. It's the connections and exposure that YC comes with that gives them such a huge advantage.

Imagine if your little one-man company could land itself on TechCrunch whenever you wanted. If you had reporters at Inc. magazine using you as examples in articles related to your industry (or writing articles about your industry specifically so they could drop your name). If you could call in favors from pretty much anybody in the tech world.

That would be pretty cool. Way cooler than $30k (plus 150k), and certainly worth 6% of your thing. At this point, YC companies are successful because YC companies are successful. It's so self-reinforcing it's essentially a tautology.
There was a "crash" of a similar size a month ago. And another, a a little smaller, a couple of weeks before that. Someone needs to pay more attention :-)

That being said, I am expecting a proper crash at some point soon. I don't think this is it, though.
Agreed that the market is global and that PG, the team and the philosophy is a major factor.

I'm trying to point out the underlying fundamentals, other than the above factors: Supply of quality stat-ups, the size of the investments and market sizing.
Except of course - you wouldn't really need .html (.php or .anything) on a url...
You have to take this in stride. As an example, have you ever bought a laptop with a built-in WWAN card? Lots of hassle and custom software to "activate" your device. Activating my Thinkpad X220 took nearly two hours on the phone with Sprint, because they were convinced that there was no way a Thinkpad could use Sprint. Only Dell. And of course there was no interface like "log into your Sprint online account to activate this thing". Nope, "call some random people that know nothing about computers and maybe you'll get it to work." Wonderful user experience, and that's with Windows 7 from Microsoft right there. (I erased Windows after this step, of course.)

And of course, many manufacturers don't even allow dongle-free 3G at all -- good luck getting a MBP with Sprint service.

The same goes for most of the points. Yeah, it has a shitty wifi card. Of course it does, so does nearly every laptop ever made. Yeah, it needs updates. Do you think for $500 they personally hand-inspect each device before shipping it to you, making sure it's up to date? Nope, they burn the OS image to a million hard drives 3 months before the release date.

When you spend $500 on a computer, it's not going to be very good. Chrome, Windows, or otherwise.
It's minor but sticking to conventional operators would be helpful. For example, I find myself typing "intitle:" rather than "title:" out of habit.
2030: How technology will change the way we sleep.
YCombinator works in very mature and evolved market/ecosystem where efficiency and filtering provides a major advantage as there is an oversupply of decent concepts. Thus the money invested itself is only a relatively minor factor, compared o the speed up that YC brings to both companies and investors.

India is not that evolved and there is a shortage of good ideas. Even when you get good ideas you may not have a market to sell it to, thus making it necessary that you have more than a YC-level round to get it going.

The McDonalds comparison is valid only to an extent. They did not launch in India with funding the size of YC round, which is my point in the previous paragraph - it needs a lot of money, you will often be opening up markets on your own and that is not cheap.

B-Trees actually have superior cache performance compared to other types of trees (such as T-Trees or BST Trees). In part, this is because B-Trees have a higher density of actual data to pointers.

There is a tradeoff of computation (doing binary search inside the node) and amount of storage (keeping less pointers). In environments where memory access is much more expensive than a CPU instruction, it is preferable to perform these computations than to have to read all the extra pointer data to jump to the right places.

In fact, a breed of cache-friendly data structures are precisely based on the B+Trees but with even less pointers, having the algorithm compute these pointers instead (CSS-, CSB-Trees)
Quite presumptuous is it not to say that nobody is grabbing every little opportunity here? I quit a well-paying job during the downturn to explore this side of life, so, yes, risks are being taken, but that is not my point.

I'm not saying we are screwed big time, if that is how the post appears to you, I need to apologize for the way that I put it across. My intention is this - what we are doing now is not working, let us try something different as the potential is certainly there.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there a relatively-easy solution to this?

Store everything in a versioned, secure-hashed repository. Git is too complex, just checksum everything and store it along with the code (this repository is created by the rest of this paragraph). Hand-build a minimal, trivially-human-readable (thus trustable by those who are interested) compiler to compile the first commit. Compile SHA. Get a secure hash of the binary. Store it.

Read the next commit. Verify there is no "compile('bug 1')" in that step. Compile it with v1, and store the hash. Continue.

You now have a chain of trust established, starting with something you can read easily, and building minimally at each step (just read the diffs). And you've got the signature of the trusted compiler at any stage. Now check the signature of the downloaded compiler against your known-trusted signature. Compile, secure in the knowledge you have no infected compiler - an infected one wouldn't match the signature of the compiler you could create from your most-recent trusted result.

This is extendable with digital signatures, the algorithms of which can be understood with a little number theory, and the code shortly thereafter. Choose who you trust, and spread the work out, just like every other trust-based system. Or trust nobody, and do it yourself (edit: yes, this implies you must build your own computer from tools you develop independently).

We've now arrived at the problems around trusting other humans, which are unsolvable. The fact of which must be accepted to varying degrees, or rejected entirely, which requires you to live in isolation. Since you're reading this, you're not in isolation, so you accept some level of human trust, so the previously-established chain of trust would solve the issue for you if the ones you trusted had approved the chain you're using.

In this setup, all you'd need to trust is others who fill the gaps you don't directly approve yourself (note that this includes the security / validity of the hash algorithm). Which is the best you can do without omniscience, which would solve the trust issue on its own anyway.
