The newer Moleskine books tend to fall apart easily. This is unfortunate, since they do so much correctly (size of page and color of paper being two big ones for me).

In the search for a replacement, this blog reviews many alternatives, and is generally a good read.

My initial reaction, "trust is going to be an issue."

Besides that, my first search attempt "www.domainsdoneright.com" brought up as unavailable for the TLDs com net and org. However using "domainsdoneright" brought up com as unavailable, net and org as available. I didn't check for accuracy using whois. Regardless, these results on your app should be consistent. You're going to need to filter for these alternate inputs.
It's incredible the sound and fury generated by version numbers. Ubuntu is almost there if they would just drop the rather silly animal names and stick with 10.04, 10.10, 11.4, 11.10 et cetera. Also having such a easy to remember and unique string makes searching for support and technical questions nice.

Programming != Computer Science

I think he's doing himself a disservice by not investigating a little further into what Computer Science entails. There's a reason that a lot of the early computer science departments grew out of the math department.
It's not the same thing. How is Firefox 7 version called then? What about 6? Does Firefox have 4 modes instead of 3, like Chrome (dev, beta, stable)? Firefox's "dev" mode might be equivalent to "Chromium" mode for Chrome, in which case I suppose Chrome also has 4 modes, but their dev modes are still not equal to each other.

The point was that Chrome 13 will become stable in 2-3 weeks from now (an Chrome 14 - beta), and then in another 6 weeks Chrome 14 will become stable. While Firefox 6 will become stable in 3-4 weeks, then another 6 weeks for FF 7, and then another 6 weeks for FF8, before it becomes stable. You do the math.

I'm sorry, but it doesn't seem like you understand how human society currently works. In a 'free society,' if a majority of people think you are an asshole, they are going to treat you like one. If you don't want to be treated like an asshole, you'll have to adjust your behavior. Technically, this is forcing you to self-censor yourself, but it's a hell of a lot better than state-censorship or even organizational-censorship. I'd be curious how you would approach eliminating this sort of 'censorship.' So far as I can tell, it would impose the idea on other people that they can't think or act the way they want to just so that 'you' can feel comfortable walking around acting like an ass (and living in a fantasy where you believe that no one thinks you're an ass).
And addon support?
That is a brilliant idea. Not just for the reason you mentioned, but also in communicating with non-geeks.

"Oh, you're using IE from August 27, 2001? That's a little bit out of date. Because browsers update so fast, we can only support browsers released within the last 2 years." :-)
yaakov34 is talking about power density, not energy density. The sun's core power density only about 0.3 watts/liter, compared with >100,000 W/L for a power-generating nuclear fission reactor.

No, but 8 is the version in development right now. 6 and 7 are being tested.
As I run past the RIM buildings, I see these posters
"Last Saturday" is pretty misleading, given that this article is from 2003, and it isn't in the original title.
Exact same system, here. Little notebook for general calendaring, big notebook for specific tasks, note taking, sketching, etc.

And liberal use of checkboxes on both to trigger my OCD reward pathways.

I find computer apps to be counter-productive to me. Having another "screen" in addition to my computer monitors gives me that import mental swap from task management to execution. Then again, maybe I just like watching myself write.
The "send email" button, which is disabled/confusing to enable on most profiles, probably fits the "direct message" bill. Having a G+ profile implies you have (if not necessarily use) GMail, after all, and G+ does claim that your actual e-mail address is not revealed to the sender, either.

On the other hand, I could conceivably see a need to converse pseudonymously via the service, but being that G+ has taken the FB-like approach that urges users to create profiles that mirror their identity "as you are known to others," they probably do not have any urgent plans to implement a separate messaging service on top of G+ when they see GMail as a natural replacement.
Because there's no way and it's never been done to disguise malicious intent as incompetence or error of judgement.
Facebook already has circles!

Facebook groups is a distinct feature from facebook lists.

Facebook lists are the same feature as Google circles. And the only reason you didn't know this already is that you did not care enough to look, so circles cannot be all that much of a killer feature.

To utilize "Facebook Circles" first you must put categorize some friends into a list.

https://www.facebook.com/friends/edit/

Click "Create a List" and drop some friends in. I have restricted permissions for anyone not in a list. A "Good People" list for those that I'll share anything with, and a few others.

Now to utilize sharing type some stuff into your status box. Anything, but lets go with "I can have circles too."

Now click the lock icon to the bottom right of the status entry widget. It will say "Make this Visible To:" And you see have a text box you can now type your list name into. I type "Goo" and it auto completes "Good People"

You can even exclude lists! So you can have a "Friends" list and a "Coworkers" list with people who overlap, but then post status that only go to your "Friends who are not coworkers."

The only difference is that google puts the UI in your face, which I like. But saying that Facebook cannot do this is absurd. It's there, you just never cared to look.
Versions 6 and 7 haven't been released yet, but the feature sets are locked in due to the faster major version release cycle. The recently discovered memory fragmentation issues (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=666058) and more efficient garbage collection are being addressed in version 8.
As for the new logo, good idea, poor execution. I like the hexagonal grid, but too much is going on. Why is the "o" solid? Why does the "e" have a green dot in its counter? The enclosed "js" makes the mark read "nodeo".

However, definitely better than the current logo.
They are employing 6 weeks for each version number, like Chrome, so they'll be out much sooner.
I've trotted out this a number of times, but, well, here it is: http://73primenumbers.com/pencilpaper.html
In my comment I did not state whether I agree or disagree with the current US tax laws and that was not the point. I was responding to the post above mine which I think made some incorrect assumptions concerning beagle3's income level and ability to afford professional accountants.
Are you depending on users to input all the different types of beers? Would be nice if you could scrape together an extensive list that I could pick from. Was imagining a grid with pictures of bottles/logos and easy one click to select.

I searched for the last two beers I had, nothing terribly exotic, and didn't find either and so gave up at that point.
(I was the guy in front scraping hot sauce off my computer/bag/clothes after you threw the bottle up front)

Totally understand why you would be offended by the slide. Noah is a bit edgier than most, and he was likely going for entertainment value. It was not in the best taste to do it.

From what I know of Noah Kagan, he seems to be a good guy that goes out of his way to help people in the scene. If all you got out of his talk was to type faster, I think you missed out on a lot. There are lots of great points that were made that may have been lost in presentation for you. Also not sure if he fully understood why you wanted to explain why you threw the bottle, but I'll let him defend himself on that.

I'm all for being upfront and honest about things (sort of what my last post was about [0]) so its good to have these things out there. Its much more effective than throwing hotsauce at innocent bystanders :-)

I'm not sure I believe it, but I can believe it -could- happen.

Investigating potential terrorists is their job, after all. If someone reports a suspected terrorist, they would be fools to ignore it.
More context: As I'm jogging to work, there were students holding up boards with those posters right in front of the RIM buildings. I feel embarrassed as a fellow Waterloo student.
Chrome's killer feature for me is still process separation. Slow pages kill my entire browsing experience in firefox, and when I have 20+ tabs open, that can be really annoying.
It is one effective CSS method, not the only CSS methododolgy.

From the introduction of lint's man page: "The lint utility attempts to detect features of the named C program files that are likely to be bugs, to be non-portable, or to be wasteful."

The recommendations singled out by the article go beyond these rules to delve into opinions about CSS best practices. The CSS Lint name is thus IMO misleading. It would be better called OO-CSS Lint.
I find that a bit debatable though. It seems like these laws are specifically targeting hidden cameras in public spaces. If I'm a celebrity wearing a skirt (or kilt) with no undergarments on, who has an army of photographers capturing everything I do, how can I reasonably think that my private area would remain 'not visible' when performing certain maneuvers.
Not 100,000 years, he is talking about the total energy produced over the Sun's lifetime of billions of years (his calculation is for the last 4 billion, actually). The number is still surprisingly small - 2.3e13J is only a few billion kcal, quite an imaginable number.

Look at this another way: ask a layperson, who consumes 3000 kcal a day approximately, how much of the Sun's mass would be required to supply him with this energy input. The answer, unless I mislaid a zero, is 755 tons or so.

Now, I will absolutely be a monkey's uncle if laymen give you an approximately correct answer. My guess is that people will say that it takes a tiny drop of solar material, or a microscopic amount. Can someone try this?
PRSA International Conference Schedule
To an extent I am relying on users input. I imported a beer database I had of around 3,500 beers...though it didn't have many common ones and I am continuing to fill them in.

The grid with pictures of bottles/logos is a feature I definitely want to add in :)
And the comments are from 2006, and the article he read was posted in 2007? (It does say 'a copy of the article' and links to a 2007 post.)
I built nift.ie a while back if you want to check it out - it's incomplete and I think it only has one regular user, me! - but I find it very useful for myself, which makes it worth building :D - actually I couldn't function without it ...
I was really glad to get an advanced look at the "new" logo. I prefer the old one so much that I've stashed a copy locally in case I ever want to get it printed on a t-shirt.

The new one is horrible! The point to point graph under the hex text. Rubbish!
I switched to Chrome because of all the memory issues and crashing. But there are so many little details as well as add-ons that I miss from FF that I'm pretty excited about version 8. If it proves out, I'll switch back.
How do you organize your workflowy so that things don't get lost?
Coming from someone who's done almost the same thing, you need to remove the barrier to entry (signup) - for some reason beer drinkers won't fill in forms. Allow twitter/Facebook signin or even anonymous ratings- a signup form was the single biggest mistake I made with my site (and I made a lot of mistakes)
The way I read it, the author was explaining his expectation that Facebook would beat Google to implementing that model. This then emphasizes his misunderstanding of the point of that quote about building it before others. Even when agile about specific features, the inertia of Facebook's existing core product can be hard to overcome; entirely unsurprising given their huge userbase. Google was effectively starting from scratch.

Google has a lot of work to do, but with a mostly blank slate and less inertia to overcome. It's also remarkable how they have used this as an opportunity for improvements across the board, a the very least visually.
Google Reader can do both of this things (click on the little "[v]" in front of "Subscribtions").
>They ask me where I went, and I struggle for a moment to remember Saturday.

This is why you don't talk to the police without a lawyer. Forgot a stop at the ATM? Dropped something off at a friends house (who later turns out to be dealing drugs) and now you're lying to the police, or in this case the FBI which is a crime. Now if you end up getting charged with something not only do they present whatever evidence they may have but also your statements where they prove you lied and your credibility is shot.

>"Weapons, drugs? It's not a problem if you do, but if you don't tell me and then I find something, that's going to be a problem."

And now the investigation has broadened where the agent wants you to readily admit to a crime and give up the evidence but "It's totally cool we won't arrest you if you just admit to breaking the law."
I don't know, this website was so bad I didn't even bother reading the article. The needless choice to shoot in the actual post via javascript bothered me and the javascript based content loading took forever just to load some static text, the loading of the html document itself was quite snappy.

I hardly call dedicating the entire page's leftmost 400px of horizontal space to 4 links "gorgeous" use of some of the most valuable screen real estate. It was impossible to read on my portrait monitor. Even on my landscape monitor this website seems to be designed with the assumption I keep my browser maximized. I know my viewport is smaller than most people would like to design for so I let things slide if there is a lot going on the webpage, but this was entirely text, there is no excuse if the style can't adapt. Not only did it not adapt to my browser size there was no horizontal scrollbar to bring me to the text that went off of the right hand side.
Except this could be easily used as a DOS attack on FBI's resources, letting real terrorist acts without investigation. That's why it's stupid. It not only doesn't make the country more secure, it has the potential to make it more insecure.
Looks more geeky and corporate than the current one. Good move.
But this is the FBI. If you don't cooperate, they can just throw you in some secret prison and never let you out. Because of the Patriot Act, they don't have to follow habeas corpus anymore.

The best thing to do is cooperate as much as you can and appear as boring and mundane as possible, so that they'll eventually get pulled off your case for more pressing work.
Thanks for the clarification and putting it into perspective (I wasn't getting what yaakov wanted to convey).

And yes, that does make things more difficult :) .
Do you have any proof of that? I'm genuinely interested.

It seems like this might be moot soon since unlimited data seems to be going the way of the dodo anyway. Assuming the T-Mobile merger goes through, Sprint will be the last carrier to offer it.

AT&T had also started cracking down on people tethering without paying, with the punishment being losing your grandfathered unlimited data. I imagine this wouldn't be hard for Verizon to do either, now that they've got data caps too.
Could you detail what you call the "ravages of freetype"?
The characters are a bit obese, but I like the concept.
If they can find a way to charge you, they will.
I guess they'll start looking into various other checks such as browser/user agent when visiting websites.

From a business point of view, what Google will care about is pageviews and pageviews/user (because that determines the #of ads they can show).

It may be that having fewer friends makes you update more and check more often (because it's more relevant). Or it may be that having more friends causes you to check back.

Another metric that drives revenue is how long you stay an active member -- that also might be better the more intimate your relationships are.
I love it! Can I offer some suggestions?

1. Change the name. Make it pretty.

2. The landing page should be a list of what people are listening to right now. (If not enough people, fake it. Come up with a few dozen playlists based on radio stations, etc.) I should be able to jump right in to a playlist.

3. Offer to let people sign in via FB, Twitter, or G+. Promote sharing their playlists.

4. Recommendations. If I have The Eels 'My Timing Is Off', let me find other playlists with that song, and of those that have the song, what comes next in their playlist?

5. Cue playlists, so that when one ends, the next begins. Offer shuffle.

Personally, I always thought YouTube was the big disrupter in music, and no one seemed to use it. If you play this right, you have a hit on your hands.
http://jqapi.com still seems superior or am I missing something?
And more importantly, is there any business in this? Converting code as a gadget in one thing, but is there actually someone looking for a practical use for this?

It's easy to say "But there are thousands of companies who want to convert there legacy code", but is converted code actually good enough compared to a rewrite? Is it feasible?
I have special place in my black dead heart for porn and fashion industry. But you could point out eg. an anti-violence or feminist conference. I doubt there would be any self-derogatory comments in those cases, though.
There really should be a feature (lab) to let circles inherit.

I see no "send email" button, so I guess it's not enabled for me. Being able to send you a direct message does not require you to reveal your identity.

they probably do not have any urgent plans to implement a separate messaging service on top of G+ when they see GMail as a natural replacement.

That's why I don't see why Gmail's not already embedded in G+. But as you said, maybe it's just something which is not enabled for me yet. If it is enabled for you, how does the interface work? Does it pop up a new Gmail window? Does the receiver get an email or G+ notification?

>it should take some time for the big guy to figure out how to implement it

Not when big company has as many people as big company wants to work on the problem.

>If a small guy invented the "one click buying" button, should it be protected?

No, of course not. IP does need to be fixed, I said that.

>Plus, in the end, we all win (if big company popularizes small guy's idea and it makes something better).

No we don't. Most of us may get a slightly better version of something we want, but we would have anyway. And we will have stricken a blow to ones ability to become better off than we started out.

Personally I'm for a world where as many people as possible can become financially independent. I utterly despise anything that means that "wage slaves" have to remain such and big companies get even more powerful. $1 million would change the lives of many people on this site but google/apple/MS wouldn't even notice such a relatively small amount.
"The only difference is that google puts the UI in your face,"

I see the thinking behind it, but it seems like it would be a mistake to make Circles any more conceptually complex than they are now. People are already making a decision about what circles to put things in, and what circles to share things with.

I'd rather see a distinct "group" or "topic" feature.
I like it!! I have been struggling with youtube playlist. pretty cool!
Seems to me that people prefer talking over listening and answering. Topic-specific boards focus the discussion away from the individual toward a topic. FB and Twitter do the opposite but if people really preferred groups then they wouldn't be in decline.

The article and comments also raise a couple additional points: there's now a large body of archived knowledge on the web and some decent Q&A sites so asking questions on message boards isn't the preferred mode anymore.

Having said that, I still miss Usenet.
Too complicated. Circles are damn simple, just tags with a visual wrapper. It's important that they are.

I think a lot of people are over thinking what Circles are or should be. It's probably because they're so centric to the product. But that's where their power comes from. Great ease in organizing your contacts to match your real-life associations, and having that be a central part to everything you do on the site, is what makes them useful the way Facebook's lists and groups, or Twitter's lists, are not really.
> If the idea was "nonobvious"

Lots of things are obvious in hindsight.

> Plus, the implementation should be covered by IP (but not the idea itself).

Huh? Are you suggesting copyright protection on the implementation is enough?

If not, what kind of IP protection on the implementation are you suggesting that isn't "idea" protection?

> Plus, in the end, we all win

I want the little guy trying to become big, because that's how things change. Letting the big guy win every time isn't nearly as good.
Five Ways Jon Brod Can Save Patch, AOL
>It sounds like you are supporting expanded software patents.

No, I'm not for "expanding", I'm for fixing. The idea of patents was to give the little guy a chance to compete with the bigger players. It has been corrupted into being the exact opposite. I would like a solution to be found that accomplishes the original goal. And no, I don't know how to do it but I'm not convinced that it's impossible.
