There is a difference in commitment. You can easily get out of that apartment, but not out of those future social security-type outlays. That is why accountants call 'future payable' stuff a debt.

That "out of their current budget" is irrelevant. Most people who buy a house on mortgage pay of their debt out of their current budget, too. A mortgage still is a debt, though (ideally (more than) balanced by the worth of the property you bought for the mortgage)
Yes the DPA does cover you on the same basis that linked parties on a credit file can be obtained under the act.
Well my counter thoughts are that the difference in look up speed is big enough to make a distinction.

If I read information from an encyclopedia I would be much more inclined to try remember it at the point in time.

Whereas it's habitual for me to now just skim over information on the internet and store the reference point to it instead.

Edit: Effectively instead of filling my memory with facts I store it with pointers to facts. Which makes it harder to put two and two together.
Too terse. It turns out that some points cannot be made in one Tweet, just as other points cannot be made in seven minutes.

And you need to be a bit more generous to those who still admire fine old art forms like the classic long lecture. It is a genre. It used to be the genre, and now it is just one, but the masters of the big lecture were and are great, and a lot of them aren't going to master the new genre - they were born too late, perhaps - so enjoy them for what they are. Use the high-speed button if you must.

All that said: Yes, you're right, the central awesomeness of Khan is not Khan himself or his lectures - people have rightly pointed out that Khan isn't the teacher to end all teachers - but his relentless pushing of this new genre, a genre that relies on the presence of ubiquitous handheld portable video players. In a world where everyone on the bus and in line at the supermarket has a smartphone, a traditional lecture, with lots of throat-clearing and repetition and class mechanics ("before I tell you anything useful let me talk about the TA assignments") and a long recap at the start of every lecture to let the people who slept through the last lecture catch up... it's tedious. Cut out half of it, deliver the rest in chunks, build a replay system that makes it easy to navigate to and play the individual chunks, and suddenly you're in the 21st century. I've been waiting for this to happen ever since I first used YouTube, and countless YouTube teachers have pioneered the technique; Khan is finally doing the evangelization.

I keep wishing, probably in vain, that TV would go the same way. I put off watching Mythbusters for years because I just couldn't stand the editing: shows are edited for people who tune in and out constantly, so every five minute chunk has one minute of pure review of stuff you just saw ten minutes ago, two minutes of new material intercut with one minute's worth of stuff that you have already seen, and thirty seconds of previews for things that you will see fifteen minutes from now.
Ask HN: Push Notification not working using production certificate
When I test Push Notification with apn_development_cer, it works with the loaded app on the iPhone device from Xcode.

But, when i am downloading the same application from App Store or with the Ad Hoc Distribution on the same iPhone device from Xcode, it just stops sending Push Notification with apn_production_cer.

For the sandbox instance we are using gateway.sandbox.push.apple.com, port 2195 while for the production build we are using gateway.push.apple.com, port 2195. We have verified that the port 2195 is not blocked by the firewall.

Thanks in advance!

David, if you have something better than excel in mind, I'll be glad to hear that.

Personally, I have been giving it a lot of thought and I can't come up with a complete better solution. But other (Palo, Hyperion) seems to make money on solutions that do not change the excel paradigma.
If most of the world would stop watching television, movies, playing video games and listening to copious quantities of audio media, it would be a much happier place here.

G+ should allow you to import your Facebook data if you download it using Facebook's own export tool.
Political correctness aside, names like 'pantyshot' and 'upskirt' do pose a practical problem: search results about these terms have the risk of being NSFW, and might be even blocked by your company's firewall.
The zoomed image was meant to illustrate why the photoshop button was rendered better at default size - it has nothing to do with browser zooming.
Yeah. Except Google's DLF allows you to export just about anything and everything you can create in Google products. It's true that Google's search is it's bread and butter but in the battle for good will, Facebook keeps shooting itself in the foot.
You can import FB contacts to Yahoo. And then G+ can import them from Yahoo!

In itself the renegotiation is not that bad, and often works out. What makes it worse is that the government openly admits that it has a very big problem in staying solvent. This makes it harder for them to get new loans in the future.
Also other financial institutions will lose trust in that country, causing money to flow out and devaluation of the currency. This in turn makes it harder for that country to do business with others.

In the end, hard measures will have to be taken so that trust can be restored.
You can read something written the way you want; No I don't like people with titles because eventually they're over-paid to do nothing.
User Experience, the way its spreading now and the way UX people are trying to force things, is a way to make things look alike. A strategy created by big corporations to make their work easier.
Where are the customization features every website had a couple of years ago, where people can create their own UX?
Ah, someone thought he can tell us how to "experience" better.
Sorry, I'm too sarcastic but that's how I see UX.
Can you convince a Chinese not to eat with chopsticks because you think that people that eat with forks and spoons are having a better experience?
Think again!
There was a bit more to it than that, but on this specific point, lesson well learned. I rushed this instead of looking for an agreement - as they say, measure twice, cut once.
Ask HN:what happens to diaspora now? Google+ is targetting privacy too.
All the hype that had been created around diaspora which had many critics which still has this " Open signups are closed at this time." Is it as good as finished now ?
They do compensate you for the special promotions. I'm not sure of the percentage but being the free app of the day and getting paid doesn't sound like a bad deal. Unless you are really intent on selling your "I'm Rich!" app to the 10 people you want to buy it.
Are Entrepreneurs Born or Taught?
Well, not all infrastructure work is confidential. I work on the Production Linux team at Google, and we're quite open about a lot of the work we do, and we try to push as much as possible of the work we do upstream.

I do have to second this thing about the "celebrity programmer". We have a group of people working on ext4, some of whom have been working on it at Google before I decided to start working there. (In fact, I learned about Google adopting ext4 from their contributions of no-journal mode for ext4 to the upstream.) I may be one of the more visible persons at Google, but I'm certainly not the only one working on ext4, and ext4 wouldn't be where it is today without some really talented folks who have been working on it with me for the last 2-3 years --- and I've only been at Google for 18 months!

One of the reasons why I am at Google is precisely because it is a big company. It is only when have a very, very large number of machines in your data center does it make sense to put a whole team of people working on infrastructure code such as file systems. (I'm pretty confident, by the way, that Sun never recouped all of the money they poured into ZFS --- it's a project which is highly impressive from a business perspective, but from a business person's ROI perspective, not so much.)

One of the things I can definitely say about Google is that while it may be a large company, compared to IBM, it has a minuscule amount of bureaucracy. I used to sit on the team that worked on the annual budget for the Linux Technology Center, and that would be weeks and weeks of conference calls where the ROI of work items at the granularity of 6 to 12 persons months worth of effort for the next fiscal year would be weighed, judged, and decided. Which is something I'm glad IBM does as a shareholder --- but as someone who had to sit on those interminable conference calls, not so much. I get to do far more real, honest coding work at Google than I did at MIT (where I spent the bulk of my time on Lotus Notes, PowerPoint via Crossover Office, and conference calls.) The one good thing about having gone through a very dispassionate review on the ROI of various different bits of technical work is I can say with fairly great authority that there is huge amounts of work which makes sense from an ROI perspective for me (and a whole team besides) to do at Google, but which wouldn't make sense at most other companies, just because of the scale at which it operates.

If you are interested in working on very large scale systems problems, Google is definitely one of the best places in the world for you to do this kind of stuff. I know a tenured faculty member at Harvard who decided that it was far more fun to do systems work at Google, and who left his tenured faculty position for this reason.
Googling Misaka - the new name chosen - made me despair. Its like the author wants another sly chuckle at his towering maturity.
Industry secret - at the most basic level, registrar and registry staffers don't need access to a customer account to manipulate a domain name. We've implemented tons of controls to manage who can do what, etc. but relying on customer passwords to safeguard domain names from internal tampering isn't really a great tactic.
I disagree that it is your data. If I befriend you on Facebook I am not giving you permission to bulk import my information into any old website which may or may not treat that information respectfully. People are focused on Google but forget that if they enabled this your information could be bulk imported into schemy websites who only want the data to spam. Even if those applications get banned it's too late if you're the one getting spammed and your information sold to other spam lists.

The key here is that Facebook relationships are not people you trust. They are people you kind sorta know. That doesn't imply that they are trustworthy enough to hand over your personal information to do whatever they wish with.
So your point is that you should build something that you believe people will need even though this need/want doesn't yet exist. Ok, I can agree with that. But if you're going to run a company, you better build something people want now, or be able to make people want it, otherwise you'll go bankrupt.
This look cool.
One question though: How is this different from gearman? Is it the connector with nodejs?
I don't disagree with most of what you are saying, and would add that good security practice is a shared responsibility. Sharing passwords across sites is the user equivalent of storing passwords in plain text. i.e. It might be secure enough until its not.
I like the way Carl Sagan described how organisms store information in Cosmos. We store all of our vital information in our DNA (i.e. how to metabolize proteins etc). What we couldn't fit in there we stored in our brains, passed on through rearing children, word of mouth and shared culture. That eventually lead to the written word and now the internet. He articulates it a lot better than I do.

Don't fool yourself. If they're not that trustworthy, you shouldn't be friending them, because preventing known Chrome extensions from doing this does not prevent the other 5000 ways (including a pen and paper) of doing the same thing.
> On the Market, if I purchase a free app and it goes paid, I basically get to keep the copy on my phone and that's all. If I go to another device or wipe my existing one, app goes bye-bye.

That's because they're technically different apps. Google doesn't let developers turn a previously free app into a paid one. The developer has to create a new package and obsolete the old one.
You're thinking about it in terms of a traditional dating site too much. I think this comic may be a good way to explain it:

http://dilbert.com/strips/comic/1992-09-09/

The dating site would let you create a landing page to promote yourself (You could also do things like A/B testing on it) and buy advertising to promote it on places like Facebook. It's absolutely irrelevant who else is using the site to promote themselves.
A different vision for the value of Big Data
The more experience with end users I get the more my design goal is security in spite of them. (I recently got an email from a user who was disappointed that a program I wrote prevented him from doing what he wanted to do, even though what he wanted to do was illegal and would expose him to substantial liability.)

"Click next to ruin your life" is not good application design. I shudder at "Carefully evaluate whether any of the following statements allows a malicious person to ruin your life."

Well, however you spin it, it's a traditional dating site but without any women!

The only unique thing about this idea is that it starts by worsening the chicken and egg problem.

Can you tell me why advertising on Facebook for your profile wouldn't work if there already were women on your dating site? Why not just start selling advertising to people who have profiles on OKcupid, eharmony, PoF and other existing dating sites? If it's irrelevant who else is using the site, then how does excluding one side of the marketplace improve my odds to find a partner?
I think you mean Resolver Systems. The web based spreadsheet is not their "core" product, though: they started with a desktop spreadsheet app.
I'm tackling the web OS...

And so I don't think it's going to be Chrome OS, also because it has to work on any kind of device to be the web OS not just a Chromebook and too many partnership deals would need to be signed for Chrome OS to spread as quickly as the web OS needs to spread.

And live shows would only need to advertise events in UTC. DST is almost a symptom of day/night/time discrepancy already but it's a top-down rather than bottom-up approach.
Right on. But maybe a better time would be TAI - UTC without the leap adjustments.

Edit: We basically just need a logical clock though we may face problems reconciling this logical clock in a distributed space/time system.
Thank you! MMT was very eye opening for me.
Hilarious typo in a headline in the middle of that article:

"Pubic opinion"
I disagree with change for change's sake. This whole tau thing is born of some idealist that thinks things only make sense his/her own way.

The only thing I didn't see in the article is that the symbol visually looks like a T, so when you see it in a formula, you have to really look at it to know what's going on.

Pretty sure DabbleBD shut down because the company got acquired mainly to get the talent and not for the service. Cannot recall who acquired them.

I only ever played with it, but it seemed like a great piece of work, and was all coded in Smalltalk (Seaside).
I actually like the decision by Amazon to require secure communication. This is something that is very hard to verify as an end user and incredibly important in the days of Firesheep.

I've considered refactoring my pathfinding code - 2.0 is this magic constant that is floating around all over my code.

Inertia has prevented me.
That's a fair point and I don't trivialise the engineering however I am taken aback by the just how little product they produce. In a similar timeframe Facebook had created vast swathes of product and dealt with far greater user numbers than Twitter.
I love how they're handicapping one service at a time. And this is just in a week.
17/20 although I thought I had them all. Eyebrows don't move if you're faking. Also the way they returned to stone cold normality after the smile gave it away.
A restructuring can be classed as a default by the rating agencies, and for the purposes of paying out on credit default swaps.
Honestly, how did we end up in a situation where some website has a complete list of everybody's friends and family email addresses and doesn't grant you access to them?

One culprit is probably spam. Your email address became something to hide for fear of being spam bombed. This prevented any sort of universal person->email directory from being feasible and necessitated an intermediary sevice like facebook to share contacts publicly.

My dilemma

Now this can be most convenient in some circumstances because I can quickly find huge repositories of quality information.

[...] But due to me not really committing information directly to my memory I have less premises to call on when thinking.

I feel that my ability to be creative is impaired because all I am turning my memory into is the “Contents Page” of what I know. So instead of a novel, I am a dictionary.

This is a very interesting thought. But maybe the answer will be, that some day you will have to be online, in order to think.

Though, right now, this all sounds very futuristic to me. The access of information over the internet is way slower than over my memory. Not because of bandwith but by how poorly, the searched for information is presented.

PS: So what are all those Star Trek Borgs standing in their boxes? Surfing the internet of course!

Their "Download my information" option excludes users' email, which makes it mostly useless for exporting your graph.

Furthermore, if they were worried about server load, they would block queries altogether. Instead, what they're doing now is just hiding the email addresses if an IP address queries too rapidly. I don't think there is any explanation besides data protectionism.
That depends on your view of Knol.
Viral Math: R-Naught and Zarrella’s Hierarchy of Contagiousness | Dan Zarrella
I'm micro-impressed.
Read all of it before I looked at the date. (The date was added to the title just before I posted this.) I thought it very interesting that Clojure and Scala feature very prominently in the comments, and yet I just heard about them a few months ago. I feel like I've had my head stuck in the ground.

As for codebase size... Yes, Java is going to have more lines due to the nature of the language. He noted that experienced Java programmers don't see all that excess any more... He claims that's a bad thing, but I think that's what makes the language tolerable for them. They just look over them.

I also have to wonder how Mirah would stack up for him. I had high hopes for the language, but it uses the built-in Java types so all that verbosity is still there for anything that uses them. It doesn't really have all the syntactic sugar that Ruby does.
It is not that simple. Have you ever wandered why counties do not have to issue balance sheets at the end of every fiscal year( or at least before every election) ?
