> Equally clearly, America does not act this way.

Does not ALWAYS act that way.

However, while it's clear that America is far from perfect, it's unclear who, if anyone, is anywhere near as close. Suggestions? (Note - the answer has to have significant capacity. Otherwise I'll nominate some random church group in Texas. Come to think of it, random US church groups do more good than most countries.)

I note that whenever there's a natural disaster, the first thing that goes through everyone's mind is "How soon will the Americans show up?"

Until you've got something better, the appropriate response is "thank you".

Spring offers some if the features to JAVA, that these newer languages have. Spring annotations lessens the XML configuration, none at times, it's AOP jar allows passing methods to methods as in some of the functional types, etc. Problem is people haven't updated their codebase and continue maintaining the old XMLs.

It's not that they don't get the email so much as they don't understand it. Where I work, I make a new account for someone, then send them a password reset email asking them to create a password for themselves, and a personal email writteden by me explaining exactly what they need to do (go to this other email, click the link, enter your new password twice, hit enter, then log in) and I still have 1 in 4 result in support requests. Usually along the lines of "I don't know how to log in because I don't know what my password is.".

Interesting. I had a play with it and I think there is some potential there. Its somewhat similar to http://www.chunews.com/ which I wrote some time ago in that you can follow the links between similar articles and paged. I like your implementation though.

How are you working out whats related? Links or some deeper textual analysis?
> Military intervention should only be used when our nation's interests are at risk.

Or when you caused threat to others and now need to take care of it. Or where you'd want others to help you, and thus should help them.

But yeah, it's pretty obvious you're only in this for yourselves.

> We are not the world's police force.

Strange, you say otherwise when it comes to wiretapping the world, enforcing your drug laws around the world, forcing your patent system on others, etc.

> We're already spending $4million/day in Libya and the Iraq/Afghanistan wars will cost $4trillion.

What of it? You've not only blow more on crooked bank bailouts, but you easily gain more value than that in ensuring American control of Iraq and Afghanistan's resources and in permanent military bases in more countries.

Financially your wars are a huge win, as soon as the world forgets you started them and lets you profit.

> Not to mention 6,026 US soldiers who have died.

No, not to mention them. They've killed and participated in the deaths of over a million people. At a thousand-to-one kill ratio, when you're the aggressor nation, you need to quit whining.

That the war was predicated on false pretenses was known long before troops got overseas. The virtuous among them had plenty of time to refuse to fight.

> The biggest portion of U.S. aid goes to Iraq ($4.27 billion), Afghanistan ($1.46 billion), Sudan ($725 million), Colombia ($562 million), Egypt ($541 million), Nigeria ($514 million), Democratic Republic of Congo ($486 million) and Pakistan ($465 million).

So you spend less fixing up Iraq, Afghanistan, etc, than you did on ammunition, let alone bombs, to destroy them and you want thanks? You give (to cronies) about as much aid money as you spend air-conditioning your soldiers.

> We cannot afford anymore wars.

You don't even begin to suffer from your wars. When you say things like that remember the countless dead who cannot afford your war anymore, either.
Not just Enterprise software 2.0. but Localized Enterprise software. The idea to adapt, say, SAP for Russian or Indian or Chinese laws, regulations and actual document flow is totally broken. Hosted services also limited to US market.

The problem is - it is almost impossible to get funding for such projects in domestic markets.

So, it is a very simple and obvious idea to build Enterprise software using the same technology that powers modern global-scale online services, targeting emerging markets, but it is quite long and very expensive journey.

There are huge demand for hosted niched services for small and medium business, such as tour operators (schedules, synchronizations), goods carriers (simplified logistics), B2B systems (customer - supplier) and so on.

Stupid name - NeoGopher.

The basic idea was that with 10 to 15 lines of Javascript you could bring back results from any XML or JSON web based API and display it as a list. You could then link any row or cell to any other list.

In a way it was like a reinvention of the old "gopher" protocol which allowed the user to navigate from one data list to another.

Thanks for the heads up on chunews. I was having some trouble finding similar projects to judge where I should focus development. How many users did you get?

As for linkedness, I'm going to do a detailed blog post about it sometime, but here it is in short:

Use the HITS algorithm to get hub and authority scores for each domain. Pages are related only if websites with higher scores link to both of them. This makes spam much less of a problem (I think!), and will make for some interesting search algorithms that I haven't quite implemented yet.

Did anyone actually notice and give a damn? I personally remember those animated twitter stream search results as being a useless distraction, and I am quite glad they are gone. I think google realized they were of little relevance to the typical searcher and Google now has enough data to decide the results aren't worth paying much for. In fact, Google has already long since pulled the realtime search results from the primary serps.
> Laziness/Strictness control

I don't think there was any compromise here, just a different choice of default. Both offer a great deal of control over what evaluation method to use.

Haskell, for what it's worth, compromised on:

* Formal definition - this is an often-overlooked win for SML, and the sort of thing that lots of languages could use.

* Module system - type classes complicate this problem, but the lack of a decent module system hurts Haskell when building large systems.

The issue was never killing babies. The embryos were going to be destroyed anyways, and parental consent was needed. It's like organ donation on a smaller scale.

The real issue is that a large section of the US population is committed to an ideological social conservatism. "Playing God", i.e. changing the fundamentals of social relations that were unchanged for millenia, is what really ticks them off. You see how even a relatively minor thing, like gay marriage, is heavily opposed; practical biological engineering will face ten times more vocal opposition, regardless of the way it may be achieved.
I realize you are posting your opinion, but you posted examples of past execution, NOT future innovation. I would argue that each of your "opinions" are ripe for disruption.

Right, I pay $0 for gmail itself, but I pay a lot of money for my Android phone and the service that goes along with it. If they don't get a slice of that, that's their fault, not mine.

In any case, if that phone gets bricked, or requires being reset and associated with a "blank" google profile because of an erroneous and irreversible lockout on my current profile/account, the blame will squarely rest with Google. They're the 2nd most visible counterparty to my smartphone usage, and numero uno when it comes to data services.

A long time ago when I was setting up my first business website, I listed email aliases for a bunch of fake departments: sales@, support@, press@, jobs@, etc. At the time I saw this as what bigger businesses did, so to legitimize my new business, I followed along.

A decade later, I'm now just using hello@ for everything even though my business has grown a lot since then.

It's much easier to funnel all incoming emails through a single point of contact than juggle a bunch of aliases.

Our replies come from the same hello@ address even though the actual person replying varies. Each email has a code to group threads together.

Only when email goes personal does it get pushed to a specific person's mail account. The vast majority of our emails are centralized. It's great.
I was more my attempt at recreating TailRank when it closed down (since I assumed that it couldn't be that difficult to write). It just seems to overlap what you have there quite a bit.

Not many users. It tends to get a lot of SEO traffic though (usually breaking news stories funnel through it pretty quickly and you see a large spike) with anywhere from 50 to 500 uniques a day.

Ah interesting. Chunews does statistical word ranking on each article it pulls down to group similar stories together. From memory it uses links as well but in reality since it checks exact links that never affects this.

One of these days I may iterate on it but for the moment it shows me whats happening in the world at any point which is fine for me.
There's no active consensus, but a defacto standard emerges.

If I want to talk about Google+, I'm more likely to use a hashtag, such as #googleplus, I've seen before. I could be a rebel and use #gplus, but it makes more sense to use already-established tags.

If we just experimented with hashtags on HN for a day or two, I'm sure they'd be hard to drop. (Although currently, I believe # is not allowed in titles)

I keep seeing these (admittedly cool) redis based job queues popping up for different languages, such as resque, pyres, now kue, etc, however I'm disappointed to not see any standardization among them. Obviously they're different projects created by different people, but it would be great to have a common protocol amongst them, especially since they're all just json based messages.

I want to be able to use a job queue as a standard way to communicate between various language backends, so I can use different tools for different jobs. I've started looking into beanstalkd as it has an impressive list of client libraries: https://github.com/kr/beanstalkd/wiki/Client-Libraries.

I'm curious to hear if anyone has any thoughts/experiences/recommendations on using open source job queues to facilitate background processing between different languages and backends. I'm already using redis and resque, something like rabbitmq is overkill, and I just started looking into beanstalkd.

Yeah because not intervening in one marginal conflict invalidates all the good America has done in WWI/II, Israel, Korea, Thailand, Philippines, Kosovo, Africa and the fact we already do more than the rest of the world... you're still claiming we're the worst.

Syria would never help the US under any circumstances, but the US is a better country than Syria and yes like I've pointed out Obama has already spoken out against it.

You wouldn't be happy no matter what. So why did I even bother? You're clearly mentally imbalanced/unstable and have some issues with conspiracy theories.

And like I've asked repeatedly: If the USA is so bad who is better? I'm taking you repeated avoidance as tacit admission that the USA has done the most good to the world and received the least back from it.

I'm not so sure. Given the rise of self-publishing services, once your product is done (or even close to done, I suppose), you can immediately start generating cash flow. If you have some pleasant "free culture" person spreading the book free of charge and against your copyright, you're probably losing some sales. (Obviously not every person who downloads it for free would have bought it otherwise, but c'mon. The number of people in that category is almost definitely not zero.)

It's not going to keep you in gold-plated Maseratis, but it can start to add up.
When I look at the history there is a clear pattern:

- Match.com solved it by starting in 1995 and working really hard.

- eHarmony solved it by attracting the christian crowd with endorsements by pat roberson and great offline marketing.

- plentyoffish solved it with a great brand name, and using the "free forever" look, feel, and marketing.

- OKcupid solved it by creating tons of questionnaires that were fun and interesting.

- AshleyMadison solved it by targeting the infidelity niche.

- AdultFriendfinder solved it by marketing to suckers on gaming and porn sites.

The pattern is clear. There is no pattern.
