Even today you can get a very capable Android phone for a quarter of the price of an iPhone. Phones like the ZTE Blade, Samsung Galaxy Mini and SE Xperia X8 are perfectly capable phones. Sure non of them can go head to head with the iPhone, but for a quarter of the price they certainly hold their own.

The interesting question is will the person who bought a Galaxy Mini upgrade to a Galaxy SIII or an iPhone 5 in a couple of years time.

I think this is all nonsense. Google's work should be to separate good content from bad content. Now, they are inverting the relationship and saying that web masters should be responsible to handle that information to them.

This is wrong in several levels. First, Google starts to dictate what is acceptable or not in their index, using tools like webmaster central and all the "semantic web" talk -- Why should I care?

Second, it creates the incentives and the opportunity for bad guys to do well. If you need to do all this overhaul of a web site, the only people willing to do the work will be the very same ones that created content farms in the first place. After all, they are the ones that make big buckets from Google, not the after hours hobbyist that maintains a single web site.

> Ah yes, because today's demographies without easy access to birth control are rocketing past us in fitness.

It takes a lot longer than that, and it would be impossible to measure due to birth control being correlated with medical care.

> ...yields an upward trend in fitness because it results in fewer, better cared for offspring.

The level of care to an offspring has no effect on its genes, and if anything can mask genetic weakness by substituting extra care. So it does not cause an upward trend for the children of the offspring.

Interestingly one trait that is being selected for is female non-sensitivity to hormone contraceptives. Now that would be interesting to measure.

Another trait that is theoretically being selected for is behaviors that would discourage contraceptive use (physical or hormone based), but I doubt that that would be measurable - at least not for many more generations.

It's an interesting world we've made for ourself, I would love to see demographics for 250 years from now.

I think Jon Markwell's comment on Twitter sums it up really:
"Something that's been on my mind for a while: Feels like the values of Twitter the company have moved away from those of the product we love" (http://twitter.com/#!/jot/status/81434698773049345)

Twitter-the-product is friendly, sociable and open. Twitter-the-company is increasingly evil - is the recent shift away from being developer-friendly with loose T&Cs to locking everything down something specific to twitter or is it endemic to a company of their size and a product of their growth?
very nice idea! would be nice if we could type out playlist in textboxes and then open them via roll.io so that those boxes are easy to emded in forums when someone wants to list out a few viddys without going to youtube to expressedly look & link for them.
In the absence of data one random-ass hypothesis is as good as another. Here is a different one: Thanks to the invention of reliable birth control, the declining risk of childbirth (particularly late-in-life childbirth), and the decreasing economic value of children in modern urban societies, human mating rituals in such societies have tended to become orders of magnitude more baroque and complex, now typically extending over decades and involving multiple pairings-off, moving in and out with each other, extended auditions with both sets of families, and careful correlation of childbearing attempts with career paths and financial flows.

Remember, though: This is a hypothesis, no data. Consult your friendly neighborhood sociologist, who will tell you that the world is more complicated than that. Consider, for example, that not everyone in America is in the same social class...

Can you have man/help page? Because a lot many guys were confused at first. Nice job.
Exactly. Why do you think China insists on celebrating diversity (the 55 official ethnic minorities get lots of airtime in cultural events - I've seen a national day celebration on TV in which every official minority had a representative dance troup), while emphasizing some kind of fundamental unity of the country (at the end of the celebration, all the dance troupes danced together).
I love how simple yet functional it is. If I can suggest just a few minor things:

1. We have the 'hide video' options, can we please have 'hide list' option which makes video bigger?

2. Can we have the 'always select best quality' switch?

With these features roll.io would make it to my favorite music players list.
Totally on board. I quit a well paid job in New York two years ago, and didn't earn a dime since. But I would make that decision again in a heartbeat :)
And Apple is manufacturing at full capacity - the prices suggest that there is still lots of pent up demand for iOS devices, but they cannot produce enough to meet that demand
it became apparent after I saw the sample "upload text" but perhaps having a default text box with sample lines in it would remove the confusion.
Microsoft reiterates stance on 'harmful' WebGL
Once upon a time, I played poker for a living. The most important thing I learned was that the least important factor in how much I earned was my skill at poker. The most important skill was table selection, my decisions over which games to get involved in and who to sit next to. A close second was managing my resources, making sure I was playing within my financial and emotional means.

If you want to be world champion or mix it up with the legends in Bobby's Room, you need to be a phenomenal player, but being great at poker won't stop you from being broke and miserable. Everyone in poker knows a 'That Guy', a bona fide poker genius who keeps fucking their life up because they care too much about the game. The archetypal example is Stu Ungar; He won three world championships and over $30 million, but died aged 45, penniless and alone in a crappy motel because he just couldn't get his life in order.

Like poker, software is intrinsically meaningful only as an intellectual puzzle. It can be fascinating and beautiful and it can send you mad. Fall into the trap of believing that poker is a worthwhile pursuit of itself and you end up in the trap - living out of your car or on the crappy end of the Vegas strip, some weeks a millionaire, some weeks a bankrupt. You see them come and go, the bright-eyed but slowly dimming college dropouts who could be living the life of Riley if only they knew something outside of poker, if only they stopped trying to beat the hardest games for the sake of it.

Your usefulness as a developer is only indirectly related to your ability to code. There are bona fide geniuses working in poverty and obscurity, there are utterly mediocre programmers doing amazingly useful and important work. Github is overflowing with brilliant, painstaking solutions to problems that just don't matter. Your most important skill as a developer is choosing what to work on. It doesn't matter how lousy a programmer you are, you can still transform an industry by simple merit of being the first person to seriously write software for it. Don't spend good years of your life writing the next big social network or yet another bloody blogging engine. Don't be That Guy.
Really nice idea. I have created something similar but I try to create a playlist for those who have last.fm accounts: http://lastvj.appspot.com

I see a lot of negative comments that lead me to believe that few here have seen the problems with RDBMS's that lead some of us to consider NoSQL alternatives. An application that frequently times out (page loads over 30 seconds) to me is a good candidate for a NoSQL backend, especially considering we are mainly storing documents. This app was not developed by us and granted the design is terrible with many N+1 queries (which we are eliminating one by one), but I'm very eager to consider alternatives to MySQL for this and future apps. Any comment that dismisses this need off-hand strikes me as somewhat unaware of the problem. What I would like to see more discussion of is what are the viable alternatives to RDBMS + ORM (specifically MySQL + ActiveRecord). I am specifically considering Mongo + Mongoid. Now if anyone can give me some solid reasons why this is not a good idea, I would be glad to hear it.
On a macro-scale the non-Han are relatively small, though, especially compared to some of the other cases of multi-ethnic countries. Non-Han-Chinese make up only 8% of the PRC population, whereas non-Russians make up about 20% of Russia's current population, and made up about 40% of the USSR's.

It is true that they're much more prominent in the outlying areas; e.g. 60% of Xinjiang is non-Han. Those areas have relatively few people compared to the more populous parts of China, though; Shanghai alone has more people than all of Xinjiang. China's current strategy seems to be to take advantage of that numerical imbalance to Han-ify the outlying areas, since the smallish (in absolute numbers) non-Han population can be swamped by moving only a few percent of the people from the central cities out there.

I think you're talking about a few different points here that aren't necessarily related.

Persistence (which is available in MongoDB) has nothing to do with testing of a model (a single document inside a collection). Some actually see that as an advantage of using a schemaloose (yes I just made that up) storage like MongoDb. I don't need to have a whole document defined in order to test the functionality of an embeded object in that document. Yes, you're relying on the application alone to enforce the model, but that's a trade off made up front regardless.

As for modeling and the cost of refactoring, I think it depends on more than just the storage facility you're using. The code that handles your modeling in MongoDB is only as brittle or robust as you choose, same as a SQL solution. Yes, it helps if you think more up front about how you are going to query the data that you store using MongoDB as this will help to minimizing refactoring later on. However, I think the pain associated with moving part of a table to another / new table in SQL is no less painful than moving an embedded object or other data structure around in MongoDB. In both cases you're moving data and affecting changes in your application.

Back in first year uni, when I felt like everything I was supposed to be learning was a bit of a walk in the park I'd program in my free time a whole lot. later in uni when I was swamped with engineering maths and compulsory management subjects I didnt program in my spare time at all (I suck at analog maths and ROTE learning so it sapped my enthusiasm to do anything in general).

when I finished uni and got my first job, I was back in the position of being given boring menial tasks and I programmed in my spare time for fun again. I left that job for something a lot more interesting and was quickly given enough responsibility that at the end of the day I didnt feel like programming so I didnt. After a few years there I'm on top of things at work again and I'm back to coding for fun in my spare time again.

I dont think that not coding in your spare time is a sign that you're a bad developer; it's more a sign that you're getting enough mental stimulation elsewhere. That said, I think if you've never coded for fun it's possibly a sign you're in the wrong career. You should love what you do enough that you'd do it even if you weren't being paid to do it; not necessarily the exact same work, but at least the same domain. No point spending 1/3rd of your waking life doing something you dont enjoy

wonderful idea
Harvester combine parts in punjab,agriculture
Great idea, but definitely needs a better explanation as I misunderstood it at first. Obviously the next step is allowing users to save their playlists.
Honestly, this doesn't at all surprise me. We all knew stories like this would surface once Bush finally got out of office.
I really like this, I had a similar idea a few years ago with 'YouLink' - essentially solving the playlist problem of YouTube - but I didn't think of making such a simple and clean execution. Mine was more Youtube meets iTunes style - pre Spotify days.

Plus back then, bandwidth was not so great / YouTube often buffered causing breaks in the music. So I abandoned the project.

However Roll.io is a great solution, often I have the situation where I have a track listing for something that I can find individual songs for on youtube, but need to quickly make a playlist out of it, but don't due to the horrible youtube playlist interface.

This is especially true when it comes to 'Remixed' music where the songs have particular unique names. e.g. http://roll.io/#4fvjsj!0

Thanks for making it. The only request I would have would be to automatically remove or recognise track listing numbers at the start of the tracks.

E.g. if I copy a track listing I often have:
1. SongA
2. SongB
3. SongC
4. SongD

- It is a slight pain to manually remove the 1., 2., 3., 4. from the front and may cause incorrect matching on the songs if I leave them on.
Of course...and relational databases might not be the right tool for the right job. Making a blanket statement that there is a "default" for data in a web site is purely ignorance of the problem (i'm not saying you're saying that....)

Of course the original author seems to think that most relational databases lack performance and / or features. There is no one size fits all situation. This is why companies like facebook, netflix, etc. use combinations of relational databases and nosql databases (although i think netflix is almost completely over to simpleDb now...)

I did not say that "nosql" databases don't have their place, I said that I'm not interested in using them as the 'default'. If you've built a site that just isn't running well with SQL, well by all means, use what works for you, but to me it seems logical to start with something solid and well known and then optimize later, should it prove necessary.
Ah yes, because today's demographies without easy access to birth control are rocketing past us in fitness.

It's the difference between having cash stolen from under your mattress and someone stealing your credit card.

I had someone make a fake debit card matching my account number. It didn't have my PIN, the number on the back, or my name on it, but it had my 16 digit number. That is something you can just create randomly, from the perspective of the customer there is absolutely nothing you can do to protect yourself from that. I guess they generate a bunch and test them somehow, but since the thief had a card that matched an account, he went out and tried about 9 stores in an hour. He was able to buy about $1200 in merchandise from 2 stores, the rest either rejected him or by that point the bank had declined my account.

The bank called me and told me all of this within 20 minutes of it happening. I saw the money debited from my account, my bank balance was lower, etc. They sent me 2 forms to sign saying it wasn't me, and within 24 hours the money was back in my account. Since then the bank has dealt with the merchants who took the fake card, filed a fraud report, etc. I spent less than 20 minutes dealing with this overall, it was not a big deal for me.

Contrast that with someone stealing $1200 from my safe or $1200 of my bitcoins. I'm just screwed then. I have no recourse, no one dealing with this stuff for me, etc.

While keeping your login information secure is a good thing, ultimately the banks are the ones keeping things secure. They have plenty of intelligent systems that know your typical buying habits, and you are quickly red flagged when some unusual purchases happen.

I know that transferring money out of my bank accounts over the internet at my bank REQUIRES a phone call and a piece of paper the first time. After that, sure, you can transfer instantly. But if someone installs a keylogger on my machine and transfer all the money from my checking account to my savings account or my investments, I don't really care. I'll just transfer it back. He will not be able to transfer it to his own bank account very easily, not unless he breaks the banks system. And as shown by the debit card incidident, when the bank's security fails the customer is not liable.
