If you sincerely want the legislature to tax you less, you should ask it to reduce or eliminate sales taxes on all retailers, not just on Amazon and not just on online retailers. To grant an exemption to one company or to one industry, the legislature would have to decide which lucky company or industry deserves it. The government thereby picks a winner before the market gets a vote. When they try this, governments usually pick wrong.
> With OpenPhoto, Mathai is transparently attempting to put the user back in control of where their photos are stored, so the service will allow users to freely select which cloud storage and database services meet their needs […] for example, OpenPhoto users can select Amazon S3, Rackspace Cloudfiles, Dropbox or any other service with a file storage API to store their photos.

I’m having a hard time seeing the practical utility of this. Professional or dedicated photographers have their stuff carefully backed up already. Ordinary users haven’t ever heard of S3 or Cloud Files. There might be a couple of geeks left who would be interested in the different hosting options, but surely these wouldn’t comprise enough of the user base to make that much complexity worth it.

I agree that Flickr has been unfortunately stagnant, but—at least from this article—this guy seems like he’s too focused on the implementation details and not enough on the high-level features that will actually draw people to the platform.
I'm waiting for the Triple-Oxygen Free cables.
i agree on the overall sales tax issue (and in MA a year or two ago there was a ballot issue to eliminate it -- and for some reason beyond me, people voted to keep it). but if there's a loophole that lets me pay less, i'm going to take advantage of it and i'm not going to give the guys who closed it a pat on the back.
would love an invite, please!

The same system as the anti-serialization mechanism I described also used an RPC-like mechanism between client web pages and the server. From the JS perspective, it queued a list of commands to execute, with a return value closure passed along to each command. AJAX (pre-JSON days) roundtrips were minimized, because all the commands could be executed sequentially on the server, all results batched up, and returned.

The anti-serialization mechanism also acted as a transactional store - either all instructions succeeded, or the server effectively had no state change (DB transactions etc. were included into a distributed transaction as necessary). No in-memory state. It was a neat architecture (still is, I guess it's probably still in production).
While I believe that's psychologically sound, Machiavelli's advice was specifically for a singular figure head to maintain order and control for as long as possible (i.e. indefinitely.) Normally, this is exactly the situation a CEO is in, but if he's announcing that he's leaving the company, his goals may differ from those of Lorenzo the Magnificent (as I imagine Machiavelli would have offered different advice to Romulus Augustus.)

Your assumption was correct. And same to all of you.

One of the best places to live in New York is actually New Jersey. Large areas of Jersey City and Hoboken and their surroundings are just as easy to commute via the PATH subway or a bus or even a ferry. Rent goes very roughly 20% cheaper than Manhattan for similar digs, everything from tiny studios to ultramodern luxury towers. Hoboken has plenty of nightlife in its own right too. Car rentals for weekend trips are as much as 50% cheaper in NJ. Bonus: you don't pay NYC income tax, and NJ sales tax is a bit less than NY.

I've lived in NJ and commuted to NY for essentially my entire professional life, and quite happy with that setup.
AWS drops bandwidth pricing
This is a false dilemma. It's not a question of whether taxes can be justified at all, but more of a question of whether all taxes and government expenditures can be justified. Certainly, there are some things that governments that are essential. However, I think it is folly to believe that all government expenditures are prudent.
Putting StartupToDo to sleep; lessons learned.
Amazon owns a company that has physical buildings in Texas, and disagrees as to whether that constitutes a tax nexus or not. Pretty easy to argue with a straight face! Tax law is a matter of technicality, not "does it seem about right".

I feel like Chomsky's argument is being mischaracterized a little here. I don't think Chomsky is necessarily looking for 'simple' rules, but he wants models that explain. Norvig is looking at statistical models that can predict what is going to happen, but don't explain why.

I think Chomsky is bringing up a good point here, but he is also being a little hard on people analyzing the data. We are gathering more data now than ever before, it's impossible to carefully analyze every piece of it to understand exactly why things happen how they do.

We can use data and statistical models to predict stuff, so they are useful for the short term. I think in the long term, analyzing this data will give leads at where to look for understanding.

I have been using this service for the last two days along with a number of other coworkers at the game studio I work at. We all find it to be a wonderful service. I can't help but notice how turntable is succeeding so well in the "social music" realm (at least initially) while myspace has failed going after what would seem to be a similar demographic. It is obviously to early to tell what the outcome will be for turntable, but if I were calling the shots at myspace, I would take heed.

Seems like a graceful failure -- jQuery is still responding to calls.

For anyone that this freaks out and wonders how they can utilize the googleapis service in the future but have a fallback incase things fall apart, here is a fun little snippet that I got from the HTML5 boilerplate[1] project to help:

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>!window.jQuery && document.write(unescape('%3Cscript src="/public/scripts/libs/jquery-1.4.4.min.js"%3E%3C/script%3E'))</script>

More or less, you try the Google CDN, then you try and execute your own script right after that checks for the existence of an API-provided element, if it's not there then the CDN failed and you load it directly from your own server.

TIP: You can use "!jQuery.ui" as the check for jQuery-UI if you are using that.

The first time I saw this approach I thought "well that's ugly", but it's the 0.01% of the time that it gets you out of a bind that I think makes it worth it.

Q: Does anyone happen to know if scripts are loaded serially in all browsers? Is there ever a scenario where the 2nd script executes before the 1st script tag loads from the CDN and inits the jQuery object?

Properly speaking, the concept "monopoly" properly pertains only to situations where the government enforces the monopoly. This is the original meaning of the word (before it was altered in the 19th and 20th centuries).

I'd love to see where you got that idea because it isn't true.

The first use of the word was by Aristotle, where he describes Thales of Miletus' (who was a private citizen) cornering of the market in olive presses as a monopoly[1]

It's true that later there were some government sanctioned monopolies, but it is a mischaracterization to say that the word's meaning has ever changed. It was well understood then that there were monopolies that weren't sanctioned by the government (eg, the guild system in Europe).

Thank you gentlemen!
As posted by somebody else it's also worth using a local fallback. html5boilerplate has been doing it for jQuery for some time now.

This can be done with most libraries by identifying the libraries global variable. e.g. for Modernizr

<script>!window.Modernizr && document.write(unescape('%3Cscript src="/public/scripts/libs/modernizr.js"%3E%3C/script%3E'))</script>
Short term there may be some cross over, as with MySpace and Facebook, but long term the average person will only maintain one personal "social" profile ie I don't include linkedin(business) or Twitter(broadcast/news) as a personal social profile (I know me not including twitter as social is asking for trouble but its a different kind of beast). MySpace is effectively dead after being sold today for a 10th of the price News Corp bought it for.
Indeed it does. I never called you wrong, just asked where you got your info. I'm in now, so I guess it doesn't matter any more.

The main reason I buy local fruits is because of quality. If you have to ship fruits from another country they're usually frozen and far too ripe when picked. On the other hand, when fruits are made for local consumers they are picked at the right amount of ripeness and aren't frozen. I can hardly eat a peach at a large grocery store nowadays simply because of the difference in taste.
Please read my text more carefully. I acknowledge a much with "that ship has sailed".

In any case, though, my original query still stands. I'm not after a philosophy debate, but a brainstorming session - please.

Good lord, about time. Why was incoming bandwidth ever on the list?
ooh "AWS drops bandwidth pricing" come on please be true! darn it just inbound.
I don't think the OP is asking Sal to throw in multiple PEP explanations in each 10min video. But looking at it from an absolute beginner's point of view, you're going to assume that Sal is (at least at this point) the authoritative source of how to do things in Python. You're going to comment all your programs this way. It's going to be a habit you have to unlearn later, or worse spread to others.

The real issue is that there is already a clearly defined way to do these things. If you've got any meaningful experience with Python, you should be following at least the spirit of the PEPs. I don't think that's unreasonable for Sal to do.

Introduction to programming languages and constructs are a great fit, especially if they emphasize and build upon the concepts discussed in the other videos. Writing and understanding the logic behind the factorial program is a great way to reinforce that concept -- with an introduction to Python as an added benefit. Looking forward to seeing how this develops.

Free is better for singular marketing messages. But for tabular data, when you're comparing different points, keeping the unit consistent is better.
The pricing change is better understood with the tables here which include a "previous" column:

http://aws.typepad.com/aws/2011/06/aws-lowers-its-pricing-ag...
I don't even remember what the old pricing was. For the first (non-free tier), was it at 0.18? 0.12/gb is getting pretty cheap for non-bulk bandwidth of this quality.

edit

above poster has link showing it was 0.15

I don't really believe that part(but it's a meme that goes around), but the important part of this is that a tech pundit paid to evaluate a service doesn't really need to consider «Is this product worth its price» the same way you and I do when we decide whether to purchase it, because they're already purchasing it to evaluate it.

It seems like the real solution would be to introduce low level guarantees and memory access (similar to Java) and the option to disable the GIL and C API extensions in CPython (until a new API is introduced?).

Also, give the developers access to some real synchronization primitives, that would be sweet.

I'm not a CPython developer, but the last points of the points on the desired list[0] seems very unfeasible to me. Not even STM solves the "Speed" requirement, but PyPy gives away with native extensions so it's halfway there!

"An 'average weekend warrior' or people 'without programming experience' who are daunted by the complexity of Java should not be implementing server applications (see PSN security issues)"

Disagree. If well-trained professional programmers were the only people implementing server applications, we wouldn't be where we are today. The fact that people can tinker, teach themselves, put together a highly-insecure server just to share their implementation with others provides a huge benefit to all programmers and the industry in general. Thus trolling.

And again, "I don't understand why anyone would use node.js" is link bait trolling. Anyone means anyone. I bet if the OP really thought long and hard (or just for 10 seconds) he/she could come up with at least a reason one person would use node.js. Coming up with one person makes the OP's title a false statement.

Yeah, seems like they keep trying to make the site "better". In reality, I had very few issues with the old layout and functionality. Judging by the cascade of negative comments on their blog, I'd say other users feel similarly frustrated.

At this point, member reviews don't even load at all, and the new side scroll animation just makes browsing more difficult.

I'd like to see them lay off the design crack and put more focus into what matters most; expanding their streaming content and making sure it works.
My first 3D graphics course in college was the same story. You go in thinking you're going to learn to make "Crysis", and you're lucky to leave with a texture-mapped plane. In fact, we probably didn't write a line of code for the first month, we instead spent all our time deriving the mathematics involved in 3D graphics.

As an analogy, it's like taking a "basics of the web" course, and instead of the expected lessons on HTML and CSS, you learn to write a web server and a web browser.

That said, in retrospect, I'm glad we learned those things. If they would have just turned us loose with Ogre (http://www.ogre3d.org/) or something, no one would have spent the time going back to actually learn how 3D graphics really works.
Because incoming still takes up bandwidth so it makes sense to count it is such. I however do remember it being free at some point in time.
Your example isn't so much UX Designer vs. Visual Designer, but instead an example of a good designer.

As Steve Jobs said, "Most people make the mistake of thinking design is what it looks like. That’s not what we think design is. It’s not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works."

Your visual designer that can't make an interface is someone I might describe as a [graphic] artist.

Semantics, I know, but a differentiation that I (thankfully) helps to reduce the use of "UX" in job titles -- a trend I've come to dislike.
