Well, it's basically a protection against intricate pump-and-dump schemes that include mergers and acquisitions - the rule basically says shares allocated (rather than _bought_ or invested into) need to be held for 6 months. (It is sometimes known as "lockup period", and versions of it exist in many countries).

However, the entire allocated stock in this deal is ~1% of the buying company; so this protects no one. Even if all of the allocated shares were sold on day 1, the stock would not have moved more than ~5% as a result. However, the market conditions has caused it to move 40% in a week.
I gather it depends on how you're entering the field. My mother studies early childhood development with a focus on how it can go wrong (I forget the technical term, but things like severe autism)

It doesn't seem to be a 'hard' science, but it's still a science. As such, there's no glitter and construction paper involved, except when they are interacting with the children!
Thnaks for your comment.

At first, we are in the process of refine the phrases on the Web with some native English speakers, and will clarify the description soon.

Second, we just use GB instead of MB because we will increase the free quota in future. Current quota is for temporal use to avoid paying too much unexpected infrastructure cost.

Thanks for your advice.

I think this idea could work - or at least it's not as bad as you are making out.

You are thinking too traditionally.

Imagine the site was called "BankersLookingForDates.com". You charge $5000 (or more?) to become a member, then go visit other dating sites to find women who might be good matches for your members, contact them, vet them and arrange the date.
I just don't get why people are so obsessed with customer feedback in advance of shipping, because it is usually useless. People are fickle, insensitive, and generally don't know themselves as well as they think they do. They are quick to say they would or wouldn't use something without any real thought because talk is cheap (free in fact) while their money is not. This seems to be the same phenomenon driving entrepreneurs to build products that are deemed totally useless once they are out in public- they don't know themselves or the perceived problem as well as they think they do. They think they would use their own product, but start building before really trying to understand the pain point and figuring out why it exists and how it came to exist. I think the best way to approach a startup is the Steve Jobs method of building something that you yourself really wish existed. Much easier said than done for sure, but who ever said building a successful business is easy?

If you have a vision for something, it is impossible to translate to a customer in any meaningful way short of actually building a version of it and trying to sell it to them.
I used to teach as a graduate student. It's nothing compared to what actual teachers do. Someone else has set the syllabus and usually has set the lecture notes. There was no teaching work for me to do during my "holidays". And while I didn't mark papers at home, the other grad students who did got paid - something that salaried teachers don't get. Sure, there's a bit of a hump in getting used to standing up the front of a class, but it's only a part of what being a teacher is.

The main article also neatly skips over the risk that teachers do have - excluding tertiary, they have far more job roles than they used to and get sued or abused with monotonous regularity, particularly in regards to their new-found 'nurse' role.

The whole article reeks of "teaching as a profession is just being a glorified graduate student TA" when it's clearly not. It's like a bricklayer saying that there's nothing special to being an architect.

"To me it sounds like it's being suggested that teaching becomes "easy"? Effortless? Not necessarily mentally taxing?"

I doubt teaching will ever be "effortless," at least if you're any good or aspire to be any good, but the idea that you have to spend five hours of prep (or some ridiculous number) for every hour of class; I probably spend ~15 minutes prepping for a 50 – 75 minute class if I've already read the material a couple times, have a loose lesson plan, and, as one of the above posters mentioned, know where the likely trouble spots are going to be.

If you're good or want to be good, I don't think you ever just phone it in. But these stories of hero teachers spending 12 hours a day, every day working to prep for class sound highly improbable to me, based in part on experience and based in part on the aforementioned BLS data.

Teaching can also be hugely mentally taxing while you're in the classroom. That's when I'm most on my toes and most ready to follow where the class goes; if a bunch of people want to discuss a subject, or unexpected questions arise, or whatever, you have to be ready to roll with it. Those are often the most satisfying classes. Most of the time I go in with a loose plan that'll cover whatever I'm shooting to cover that day, and if the class goes in another direction that's still productive, I'm ready to roll.
I saw the CEO speak at SXSW a couple years ago. I still can't figure out what the big deal is.
I wish it also did prompt(). That would save a lot of work when you just want to input one field or want to let users copy-paste a URL to the page.

Ok, having gone to business school I'm somewhat qualified to speak on this. First, I think most biz schools aren't staffed with highly successful businesspeople. If you are a crazy successful person in business you probably don't become a professor afterward.

Business schools are setup more like trade schools to teach marketing, finance, management, and accounting. Those have little to nothing to do with how to create a product, how to get your first customers and so on and so forth. Most business schools presuppose and existing, successful business of some sort. Take away the existing business and most of what they teach is not terribly useful.

Also, the best teacher of entrepreneurship is not school at all. It is experience. Starting a company, incorporating, getting customers, building a product, hiring workers all seems impossibly hard and confusing at first until you get some practice. Starting a business isn't hard, but it's a much different experience than being an office manager or accountant at a fortune 500.

I learned more starting my first company about how a business should be run than I ever did sitting in classes. There is no class that can teach you how to start a business unless it actually forces you to start a business.

Running a business should be taught like an art school or a culinary school - by doing. Try learning how to cook by just reading recipes or watching cooking shows, but never actually cooking a dish by yourself. Sounds absurd right? Ok, try learning how to start and operate a successful business without ever actually starting or running a business.

That is what business schools do and that is why they fail.
It's not about devaluing the concept, it's about people have survived for millions of years doing what they very much did not love; while it's great if you can manage it, doing what you do not love won't kill you and for most it's a damn sight better than starvation.

So, be realistic, and don't expect to feed yourself collecting stamps because it's what you love- but if you really love woodworking, by all means you can try to be a carpenter.
It is just not the case that there is a sustainable career out there for every kind of passion. Non-academic philosophy doesn't pay, coding pays.
First observation: geez teachers in the US don't get paid "that much". In Ontario (province in Canada), teachers can max out after 12 years at > 100K a year, it's not at all unheard of. The teacher's union here is very powerful, for better or worse.

I think deciding on how much a teacher "should" earn simply based on the time they put in and then compare it to another profession misses a valuable point - teachers can make a huge difference in the life of a human being. What's that worth to society? If a great math teacher encourages 3 kids to become engineers, then his salary is much less than it should be.

I saw a post on HN the other day about a teacher who told an otherwise disillusioned student that he was "gifted". Simply by being told so (he wasn't giften in the traditional sense) completely changed his perspective on school. If he goes on to become a contributing member of society, a good father, and good role model for others, then that teacher is probably worth more than 70K a year.

Yeah, one issue with CentOS/Redhat was that yum required Python 2.4 so you had to keep it around and install python 2.7 as python27.

Thankfully Python makes it easy to run applications in a virtual environment so you can install different versions of libraries into the virtualenv without worrying about breaking things somewhere else.
If you were teaching an MBA course on entrepreneurship, what would you put in it? I ask because I'm teaching one right now and I need to do some serious lecture prep for Thursday. Over the semester I've assigned some the the essays like "how to start a startup" and most of Fred Wilson's MBA Mondays with some random other things of interest smattered in (e.g. business models that rocked 2010) but the whole thing is feeling a bit haphazard at the moment. Thursday is going over the different types of financing available, a bit on how they work, and some how a student would go about pitching their startup.

If Hacker News could crowdsource me a textbook for next time around that would be amazing ;)
I think you charge too little to assure serious users that you will be around in the future.
Agreed. I am a coder and philosophy was my first love.
No different from breaking and entering followed by theft? Come on. The reason this is a big debate in the first place is that people seem so compelled to shoehorn new technologies and new abilities into old categories. The world we live in is full of cameras and we as a society aren't sure how we feel about that yet. But making that leap to 'theft' simply for lack of a better analogy is dangerous.
Actually figuring out how to scan papers would be the hardest part. I think it would require an affiliate deal with a document scanner company. Or perhaps they're cheap enough that you could give away document scanners for a year's subscription (say $120 a year plus a free $60 doc scanner).

That site doesn't list how much you need to consume to have any affects hence my statement that its comparable to salt, IE if you eat a lot of salt you will be in a bad way too.

That was my previous understanding though. If you have any sources to show what sort of consumption you need to have any sort of toxic effect I would be very interested.

Something people reading this may not know is that Chinese restaurants did use it for a long time as a meat tenderiser and still do in China and presumably in other parts of the world too.
You can write a configuration file named .flx and we will run commands according to the description in it. "Lokka on fluxflex" is a greate example for understanding how the configuration and the deployment work on fluxflex. You can read the source code at https://github.com/sowawa/lokka.

Various one-click install applications are hosted on GitHub, and you can fork, merge and push on GitHub as well as just install the application on fluxflex.
The linked article basically answers the question. The physical shape of the trachea, carina, and right and left mainstem bronchi was created from glass. Over the course of two days, that glass became lined with the patient's cells.

To be clear, the claim is not that the glass was replaced by human cells over the course of two days.
I think that vast majority of aspiring elementary teachers are not going to pursue a degree focusing on developmental disorders.
The BLS data being based off the survey question "How much work did you do yesterday" and extrapolating from that, instead of something more direct like "how much work did you do last week". Anyway, Google is loaded with heaps of research into teacher workloads, this line "if anyone has better data, I'd like to see it" is just a handwaving throwaway line.

But if you really do have a problem with anecdotal data, why do things like bring up Bill Gates, who is not only an anecdotal point, but an obvious outlier at that?

IMHO Spotify stopped being interesting when they had to drop their ad-supported all-you-can-eat free tier. That's what really drove growth in Europe and make it ubiquitous here in Sweden.

Now that that's gone, they're just another dime-a-dozen paid music streaming services that nobody wants to pay for.

edit: For anyone wondering what the big deal with Spotify is, is that it was completely free. Anyone could just download the app, and then listen to any song they wanted to, legally, completely free - there were just short ad breaks every couple of songs. This free legal option meant that there was zero reason to pirate music anymore, so everyone flocked to it.

If you paid €10/mo you got a higher bitrate, no ads, offline playing and access to the iPhone/Android apps. The pay option was attractive if you were going to have a party (ads are a turnoff in situations like that), or when you end up requiring the iPhone app since you don't have any music files to put on your MP3 player anymore since you've just been listening to everything on Spotify...

The record companies really hated giving away music (despite Spotify being a goldmine for them - Spotify is currently the #1 single source of income for record labels in Sweden, making them more money than any single retailer), so they had to kill it a couple months back (rumor has it they had to kill it in order to secure U.S. rights).

Without the completely free tier, they'll have a really hard time getting new users.
We had to rent another place and pay another month's rent. This place doesn't have a real kitchen, so we are buying much more expensive food and burning money faster.

You can simulate a great deal of a kitchen if you buy a hot plate, a rice cooker, and maybe a microwave or toaster oven. You'll have to wash dishes in the bathroom sink. It sucks. But eating out isn't always your only option.
have a look at jscex which is a macro that turns async operations into synchronous-looking ones.
Is it hopeless? What if we presuppose that business schools are going to try, what's the best they could do? I know I'm hijacking the thread here but I'm in the middle of struggling with this exact thing (teaching an entrepreneurship class to MBA students) so any constructive advice would be really helpful. What about an Entrepreneurship class having an assigned lab for example?
Why Do So Many PC Games Still Use DirectX 9?
Perfect is the enemy of good enough. The huge goal of CPython (especially 3.x - those who still stuck on 2.x are, well, just stuck on 2.x) is that it is good enough, was designed to be good enough and simple. Need speed? Write extension is C. It is simple and it was designed to be so.

Most of people still didn't get it. CPython 3.x is good enough for its purpose and its goals. It's evolving according to its philosophy (http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0020/) and it is really really good (If you understand some general principles like The Middle Way, Being Good Enough, Divide Et Impera and so on).

Making things too complicated is as bad as making them naively oversimplified. ^_^ And porting everything to JVM is just some kind of sport.

Being simple extendable and at the same time close enough to a hardware and using optimizations provided by an OS is much better.
thats gonna be big
I agree that a great teacher is worth a substantial sum of money, but in order to pay it we first have to work out some objective metric.

It's relatively easy to become a teacher, so if we just start paying every teacher more money we just attract more substandard candidates.
There's something uniquely American about bitching whenever someone has something you don't have. Most people have shitty benefits and 2 weeks off. The rest of the world has free healthcare and double the vacation days. But the problem isnt that our employers are cheap bastards, its that the teachers' unions are too strong. Right.
Certainly. I actually kind agree with your original point, from what I've seen of education majors. I took an education class in college, aced it and got rave reviews on my papers, and I barely even tried. Made me a little concerned about my fellow students in the course.
I use google reader. One feature I would like is filtered feeds. ( something on the lines of yahoo pipes. Unfortunately the feeds from yahoo pipes do not update frequently enough and lot of items are missed. ).

Use it on your mobile phone, offline sync so you can listen to any track at any time even if you're offline.

Kei, I've just installed the node_sample "Hello World!" project on the free plan, and noticed it was running a bit slow. Apache bench shows an avg of 1471ms/req over 100 requests (from NJ). Do you provide faster response-times on the other plans? Where are the data-centers located?
Don't forget either that "It gets easier as you get more experienced" happens in all professions. Those people who now find it "easy" are people with skills, and people with skills are worth more money because they do things "easily".

I'd like to see someone approach any other professional and claim she should get less money now that her job comes more easily to her.

Yeah, I'm assuming the crazy math (5-10mm real users, the remainder being alternate accounts, abandonware, etc.) Plus, multiple devices per user, which you could be really crazy and count as unique users -- laptop, home, work, ht/game system, iphone, ipad each.

Plus, USA = "everywhere"; I'd assume if there were service in Europe and the USA, a lot of people in non-USA non-Europe would be VPNed or otherwise appear as US users for these purposes.
The near simultaneous release of all this is also amazing. Launching one or two things, and making sure it doesn't break the entire infrastructure is hard enough under good circumstances. Rewriting pretty much everything at something the size of Google really is astounding.
This is great advice if you're having trouble cooling your reactor as well. Just fill that melting core with boric acid and all your problem will be solved!

I recently had problems in reactor six and boric acid really helped me get things under control. (Too bad for Sergei and Vlad though...) Anyway, at least I was lucky enough.
The forum happened a year or two after the acquisition by yahoo. If it was before the Big Rewrite, all changes were on hold until after the Big Rewrite. If it was after, most of the engineers on the backend were moved elsewhere, so nothing that required backend changes could ever be done.

It was more like the experience with inboard in the early days.
I actually dislike that about Google+. In the process of accommodating strangers, they have completely gone away from the concept of friending. May be this is why my Google+ stream is a lot more similar to my twitter than fb.
Entrepreneur's struggle with entrepreneurship. There's data that basically shows that successful entrepreneurs in one space are no more succssfull than anyone else when the start a new venture in a new space. And I suspect the main reason why you're likely to be more successful if you stay in the same space has much to do with reputation and network than anything that could actually be taught.

The big takeaway I have is that everything you learned running your first startup is generally not applicable to your second startup, except those things you learn in a b-school (tax law, forming corporations, equity, etc...). And surprisingly this is also true of management in a F500 company too, but just at GE it's a lot harder to rock the boat -- for better or worse.
If there's an evolutionary cause for procastination, I'll offer a much simpler one:

It's best to conserve your energy unless you really want/need to do something.

Academic philosophy barely pays as well.
I read an interesting article a few days ago about how borax was used in the US as a meat preservative up through the early 20th century, along with more toxic substances like copper sulfate and formaldehyde. In those days there were no food safety regulations, so manufacturers used whatever they wanted.

Suspicious of the safety of these additives, a chemist from the U.S. Department of Agriculture formed volunteer "Poison Squads" to test if these substances were actually safe or not. The article discusses his work, and is worth a look.
