As a web developer I find forms to be a pain for simple sites. They're a moving part I'd rather not deal with.

Lately I've been pushing hosted forms like what Wufoo offers. Provide the email address like you mentioned, but link or embed a simple Wufoo form.
all these "infinite" have different meanings, in particular cardinality, and using just "infinite" makes it into a senseless babble that can have any meaning one would ascribe to it
re: - Simplified browsing has happened ala tablets, mobiles etc, especially purpose-specific apps.

Mobile and apps certainly have helped. But, there is still a problem of knowing what urls (in the case of a browser) or sites to search or which apps to get to help out.

It seems like there should be a better way of just "getting information" based on location/interests/curiousities...

Not if the link can time-out or expire after X [days, minutes, seconds, ect]. When I think of emailing my self the password, I think of storing it in plain text in my email account. When I think of authentication via email I think of a one time use link that allows me to log into a session.
"Maybe that qualifies [him] as working in the domain of a professional, yes?"

Either you think he is a professional, or you do not. You appear to be holding up a standard, claiming that you believe he fits the criteria needed to be judged by it, and then lambasting him for not living up to the standard you have set.
Overall, I find this somewhat confusing, but possibly I dont have sufficient context to judge.

TBH Im not particularly motivated to 'stand up' for the behavior of anyone I dont know.

I am interested in what makes you so interested in casting judgment on Zed, as opposed to on yourself?

Whatever puerile, irrational and paranoid responses Zed may have produced, you seem to be matching them with a self admitted hypocrisy, a large amount of self righteous vitriol and a bewildering statement of tribal affiliation to an anonymous internet discussion forum that apparently requires your outraged protection lest it collapses completely under the weight of a misunderstanding between Zed and another participant.

Zed has, to my knowledge, done you no harm of any kind. He certainly represents absolutely no realistic threat to HN.

why do you feel justified abusing him in this fashion?
Yes, it has to be perfect or it will ruin the expected experience.

Unfortunately, replications are never perfect. Thus it will always ruin the expected experience.

The problem with Java is mainly that people think they have to use all the horribly complex, intrusive, badly written, underperforming frameworks that exist in the Java sphere. And then, of course, you will inevitably be screwed.

Indeed. Back in 1998 I worked on a Java Web framework that was quite slick, easy to use, and relatively lightweight.

It used URLs to map requests to classes and methods (e.g. /foo/bar/baz meant get a reference to an instance of class Foo and invoke bar("baz") ). It used convention over configuration for the common stuff (e.g. where to find classes and views) and was quite robust using a custom request proxy to handle the interaction with Apache.

It was easy to add new behavior (while the app was running, even), easy to do internationalization and custom styling, and easy to deploy.

When the company I was working for got bought the owners decided that they wanted some J2EE thing that could be maintained by a redundant array of mediocre Java hacks so they dumped the fast, efficient, and fun custom code and rebuild the app using beans and entities and war files and all that nonsense.

I quit shortly thereafter.

Since then I've seen countless people bemoan the state of Java Web development, but the truth is that much of the sorrow is self-induced. You don't have to build complex, complicated Java frameworks. And you don't have use only what others have put before you.

Java is Java.next();

I jumped on the java bandwagon a few months ago, but fully committed to it for work just in the last month (long story, sole/lead/CTO for fashion house with tens of retail outlets. Ass needed to be covered, and we're doing 30% Android, so might as well go fully java.)

Yeah, it's doable. In fact, it's tasty. Eclipse integrates really well with it. Java EE is better than I expected: I would kill to have hibernate/JPA for Lisp, to be honest. I tried a few web frameworks but decided to use Play, which is absolutely delicious.

If you have any substantial "backend development" you will cream your pants at how much "process" & good workflow the Java ecosystem embodies. Right click -> Run As -> Deploy on Server. There ya go, then you get a bunch consoles to monitor your apps and get some fine grained stats. You can hook a debugger to remote process, if you need that too.

I implemented RBAC security, database auditing & roll-back (at the ORM level, zero SQL), object validation, the whole admin crud, and a REST API in 2-3 weeks. Having never done it in Java before.

Dependency injection is one of those opaque jargons that don't make any sense until you do a bit of Java. Then it's the most awesome thing you ever heard of.

Modern Java is not like the Java of old. It's all clean classes, a few conventions (yes, they discovered "convention over configuration" and the annotations make everything a breeze), and the rest are just rock solid servers and software.

I can safely say that XML is 100% optional. I have yet to write any of it. Nearly everything is done with var=val type configuration files.

Once you get the hang of it you discover you have a world of possibilities. I'm pretty much spoiled for choices.

Not necessarily "fun" and "hackish", but it's very productive (it doesn't feel like normal coding, more like assembling blocks. 90% of what I do is customization. As a matter of fact, I prototype all of it in Common Lisp before I rewrote it in Java, so I might be in for some pain later, who knows.)
How does breaking into private systems and releasing customers personal information expose abuse and corruption or promote human rights?

The exposed poor security in select system, perhaps. Does that amount to abuse, corruption or human rights violations? Hardly, irresponsibility at worst.
With all due respect to the severity of the issue questioning whether it was the Earthquake or the Tsunami is a pointless debate.

The Earthquake struck at 2:46 while the first Tsunami hit at 3:27. In a crisis situation you could not make an accurate assessment of the situation in such a short span of time. Meaning the only way to answer the question is to look at the evidence and surmise what happened after the fact.

But as the various quoted articles point out it's in TEPCO and the Government's best interest to stick to their story. Meaning you'll never get enough information to create an accurate picture of events.

Again it's a question we absolutely should get the answer to but the answer is permanently obscured. Asking a question you can never get the answer to is a waste of time.

Google may be an answer, but it is still oriented towards typing in search terms, maps, etc. Is there a better way to package this up as a ui/service?
The school kept trying to motivate us by pitching the selling points of this 'activities transcript' and how it would make it easier to show prospective employers what we were up to while earning a degree... I'm not sure I particularly enjoyed it, but the system made it as easy as possible so it only took a minute. It became a less popular Facebook, basically -- you'd keep it updated just like you did your Facebook profile.
Interesting use of emoticons in that section.

I think we've found a suitable candidate for a first-pass Internet Driver's License test. Filling out a few forgot password forms, checking email, checking spam in case it went there, clicking on a link, and changing to a new password that's >= 10 characters and not a dictionary word...
If you don't require a server environment, having direct access to data that resides in memory or on your local machine will obviously be faster. But, whether this is an option depends on your use case -- if Neo4j is backing your load-balanced Web servers, this isn't really an option, but you could create a local mirror of the database for running queries (similar to OLTP vs OLAP systems).

Gremlin is really just Groovy with domain-specific constructs. You can write multi-line Gremlin/Groovy scripts that apply complex filters and send them to the external server. You can also use any JVM langauge to create the equivalent of stored procedures on the server to pull data from multiple sources.

Another approach would be to query the external server and use TinkerGraph to keep a local in-memory cache, lazy-loading it as needed.

Stopped reading on "- Simplified browsing has happened ala tablets, mobiles etc, especially purpose-specific apps."

How is the answer "mobile" the answer to anything? it's like hearing microsoft saying "cloud"

About purpose-specific apps, how this even get close to simplified browsing? It's the opposite!
What to read website X on mobile? wait 7 months until they launch an app. And if they already have an app, you will probably have to go to the desktop to do something trivial (like adding a video to a list on youtube under android... you will have to favorite it so you can find, go to the desktop, move the video to a list)

My mobile browser for sure does not make anything simpler! Took me several minutes to import a bookmarklet to change the background to black and text to white on the current page. It involved setting up a webserver on another computer because it could't open pages on the local memory.
So what are the frameworks or tools that you recommend? Serious question from someone that has so litte Java experience, you might as well call it "none."

All of the XML config stuff was, to some extent, what turned me away from Java so many years ago.

If I were to start over today, what kind of frameworks would be the wiser choices for desktop apps (gui frameworks) or web apps (web frameworks, maybe an ORM)?
You're still being ignorant or you're just really dense, in either case, I have no interest in continuing a conversation with someone who continually almost intentionally misses the point.

Indeed-- back button is completely wrong. Navigation transitions are wrong (the back button goes too far). Dialogs have the wrong background and the "delete" button at least looks wrong. Slider button is not centered. On/off button is completely wrong. Rounded rect buttons have too much shadow.

(For the navigation transition, make sure to use ease-in-out and the correct duration.)
There is a kind of uncanny valley to UIs that imitate native UIs. For instance, I remember back when IE6 faked UI controls, they didn't act quite like the native Luna controls, and that upset some users.

The big boys of online data preferences who Could do these things would be Google, perhaps FaceBook (which still brings up ridiculous unrelated ads to my interests, however, I don't "click" any apps or "like" many pages out of privacy). More on FaceBook, even my "prolific" friends (checkins, 200-400 friends, likes and friends with 100 or so movies, bands, apps, etc.) still don't click ads.

When it's winter north of the equator, some countries are on summer time (DST) south of the equator.

No. Once his own costs reached a limit where he had to settle, the other side would have had similar if not greater legal costs racked up. Continuing at that point is a double or nothing bet, which might make sense if the odds are in your favour (i.e. you think you'll win) and you can diversify over many such bets. But for a single individual in a single case, it's a huge risk.

I'll take the opportunity to post about my recently started (2 weeks now) project on "design dependent search" (idea 16).

The idea I'm trying to leverage is that typing long search queries on mobile devices is super awkward, but the touch screens make clicking much easier and more fun. My site displays similar search results geographically near each other on the screen, allowing you to make your searches more focused just by clicking on certain areas. Right now, it only works on blogs with RSS feeds due to my limited internet crawling resources. I hope to add media (picture,movie, and maybe music) search by the end of the summer. I don't see this necessarily working as a Google replacement though.

You can check out the prototype at http://blogumbus.com and visit the developer blog at http://dev.blogumbus.com.

Since I'm not seeing too much commentary... I'll bite:

"TLDR" version on 'Idea 01':
any cell can be regressed to a less developed version and can be used as a general purpose "stem cell"

"Did Read" version:
One item on this list which looks particular promising is the idea of "induced pluripotent cells"

literally: gone are the days of embryonic stem cells, and the social injustice associated with them.

It is in my experience when talking with individuals on this topic in particular that they really have a hard time disconnecting "stem cells" from "killing babies"

We literally now have the technology to regress these endo exo and meso ( differentiated cells ) into their previous undifferentiated states.

This is HUGE! Previously once a cell had "differentiated" to one of the above mentioned states, It could only further develop along that differentiation. Thus it was excluded from migrating from a endo to exo ... or meso to endo etc.

We built something alot like: 22. A web-based Excel/database hybrid.

The question is though, what problem does it solve? It was very hard to explain to people why they would need it or care about it.

Spent a year developing it and spent alot of money on it. For nothing in the end. A very cool technology and I still like it alot.

Lesson: build something people want, or that solves a real problem. Don't build a solution looking for a problem.

Taking the Keynesian assumption that AD and production are monotonically related to each other, we can conclude that AD has recovered.

I think most Keynesian have moved on from that simplistic view. Stagflation in the 1970s showed that the inflation/unemployment relationship could move, and few would argue against structural change having a similar effect.

In any case, the Keynesian assumption that employment increases with production is simply not true of the modern economy.

That's an effect, not a cause. Traditionally it has happened like that, but anyone who argued it had to be that way would be stupid.

I think we are strongly agreeing about the importance of structural change? (And hence I agree with you about the lack of a strong relationship between production and employment). I don't agree with you that demand has recovered though. Your data (http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/series/DGORDER) shows it still at levels around that in 2004/05.
Wufoo doesn't look like a database/spreadsheet hybrid to me.
