> It's worth asking if Wedbush Securities has a short position on NFLX.

It doesn't look like they take positions themselves. They seem to be your standard financial services broker/dealer, in which case they do research for clients who take positions.

It's likely they have a "Sell", or at least "Hold", rating if they're writing negative notes. But that's as it should be; I think you have the causality backwards in your implication.
Right on the money. We every log record contains LSN (log sequence number) that allows us to reconstitute the order. Then as at the recovery time you need to merge sort by LSN from the shared log servers
I wonder if Apple has a patent on this technique.
Tablets are distinctly different from smartphones, and although the iPad dominates this market segment at present there is a android invasion taking place even as we speak. That's just the first wave; with NVidea's Kal-el chip already sampling and supposedly reaching consumers by October, the tablet market seems poised to go into overdrive. between increased competition and the availability of networking facilities on large-screen TVs, I'm not certain that consumers will really need desktops for much longer.

Now, what you are talking about - computationally-intensive tasks that traditionally require workstations - Android does not perform nearly as well. But the people who really need that kind of processing power and can't satisfy it with a tablet, game console, or other home-oriented system are only a small segment of the overall market.
Perhaps a new Nexus model is in the works?
No worries. One problem with adding a Jit is you usually want to put extra information in the ast, such as LLVM objects, so I'm not sure how totally easy it would be to hack in in an unobtrusive way.

The other problem is that VMs like LLVM are quite good for statically typed languages, but not always great for dynamic ones. It's probably too early to tell either way. And yeah, even if you use the C interface to LLVM, you still need to compile it with a C++ compiler, which sucks a bit.

Regarding what I thought was a typo, you define n but undef t, but no worries, I guess I didn't read the rest of the code.

Good luck!
Thanks Zach!
Ya, I'm bringing it up with the Apture folks.

I installed the app on my cheaper version of a smartphone. It started configuring for about a minute, but it realy feels natural to use the controls on the app.

If the app really performs this well I wonder if it will lower the bar to use facebook mobile. An $100/€80 sim unlocked phone could do the same as a lot of people would use an €649 / €599 smartphone for.
The answer seems to be zero nearly all the time.
Very interesting. It sounds like they had some troubles getting this to a properly working state.
What I loved was when I signed up some time ago they had given me a partial derivative with a single variable, telling me what the variable was. Meaning that the answer was 0. Some of them look REALLY complex but they're actually far simpler than they appear, except for the fact that it'd be incredibly difficult to break them in practice given the variation they produce.
Netflix is free to set their own prices, and I am free to change my subscription (cancel or drop to streaming/dvd only). However doubling the price of something, and expecting no backlash is silly at best.

In addition they cut the cost and hassle of legal entertainment. With this change they have now increased the cost of legal entertainment.

I'm fine with them upping my costs, as their costs increase, but this seems beyond that.
This is a side project by my company, PaperG, which is intended to help small businesses. Most SMBs we work with try to manage social accounts, but quickly get burned out trying to keep up and leave them dormant.

Polly.IM helps automate routine things (thanking new followers with coupons, responding to check-ins, etc). It also helps identify and and suggest responses to other things like compliments, complaints, suggestions, etc. using our sentiment analysis tech.

Would welcome any feedback or suggestions from HN!
I disagree. People become Zed Shaw or Jim Carey based on merit but if everyone is equally meritorious then nobody is. Being good at something is subjective but being better than most people is measurable.
I liked 'Gnu', but you're right. While such issues might seem trivial, the fact that Gnu has had the same crappy drawing as its logo for >15 years has always struck me as proof that almost nobody in the Gnu project understands or cares about user experience. I got quite excited when Tux the penguin showed up because it suggested there were still people out there who thought the GUI desktop was rather important.
Facebook does this as well if it believes you're creating multiple accounts.
Developers Working Overtime is the Problem, not the Solution
We just had a comments model (in mongoose) that had an array of subcomments (MongoDB arrays are awesome). Therefore the "trees" (not really trees as we implemented it) could only have one level of indentation ... but that's all we wanted anyways.

With PCs as they are now, there's no base-line, no consistency in what the hardware can do. Sure, games might have minimum and recommended specs, but they're not perfect, and its often a blurry area.

Regarding passing stuff on, I imagine it will go like this, just as it always has done:

2. Die.

3. For you, there is no step 3 :)

In the long run, if your data is valuable to your descendants, they will be sure to take good care of it.

On the other hand, if your data is valuable only to you, consider what just happened in step 2...
Clothing seems to be a big pain point for a lot of people. I've pondered going so far as to start a clothing company that makes clothes that fit certain criteria, including doing mass customization for knits. I'm not currently in a position to seriously pursue such an idea. For now, I am just adding info to a blog and wondering where to go with this. And gather links/notes.

I think a nice touch would be to auto follow or make it a selection that users can toggle on or off. Let's say someone tweets at my business, I think it adds a nice touch if the business auto follows the user who took the time to tweet about me.
You're right. I guess it's more comparable to walking up to a checkout or a cash register without looking to see if anyone is waiting in line. Great UX if you don't look around you.
A lot of people consider enterprise software boring. Ok, great, I'll happily relieve a few customers of their money, selling them "boring" enterprise software. As jasonlbaptiste said here:

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1447428

in the infamous "How to become a millionaire in three years" post.

Charge for something- Building a consumer property dependent upon advertising has easily made many millionaires, but it isn't the surest path. It takes a lot of time and scale, which due to cashflow issues will require large outside investment probably before you are a millionaire. Build something that you can charge for.

Besides, I reject the notion that enterprise software is boring. I mean, maybe it can be boring, depending on what you're doing. But the stuff we're working on at Fogbeam Labs is largely the same technologies people are using on consumer facing web apps... And on the back end, we're doing really exciting stuff with machine learning, AI, data mining, information retrieval, semantic web technology, etc.

The one area where we'll probably always be forced to lag a little, is client-side technologies; if we find that many of our target customers are far off the leading edge on browsers. But whatever, we can live with that.
Perhaps not so exactly. Since there are multiple authors somewhat disorganized, it's a matter of either being placed in line to write (real-time, all online at the same time), waiting for your turn to add, or receiving email notifications that the story has been updated, at which point you can take some time to add the next entry before submitting--but in this time period, someone else may have continued it and diverged.
Thank you for taking a look, I appreciate your feedback!

1) I see what you mean. I need to make more use out of that area.

2) I agree. Twilio is pretty inexpensive, so I may go ahead and integrate with them. At first, I was seeing this as less of a near-real-time service and more of a, "hey, heads up" service, but I can see real value in providing more immediate monitoring and notifying.

3) Great point. I'll definitely add this to the FAQ, and FYI, it's polling every hour right now. As I mentioned above, I'm rethinking this, so I'll probably decrease the polling wait period significantly and I might make it user configurable. The connection is very light weight, so it's easy on my server and the clients'.

I'm glad you think it's a good idea. There doesn't seem to be much interest yet, but I'm still optimistic!

Importance of old files is overrated. Old files have some value, but not too much.

It's important to forget old stuff to free our attention for new things that are often more valuable.
Which specification does it violate?
That isn't the point, though: the point is that people are using closed-source software by default.
You don't even need to cycle MAC addresses; just send DHCPDECLINE messages for any address the server gives. DHCP requires that any address that elicits that response from a client MUST be marked unavailable, and provides no provision for it ever becoming available again.

Ignoring the client is the only automatic mechanism DHCP provides for countering this.

You have to remember that DHCP was written back when it was assumed that a competent systems administrator managed the server and could manually respond to running out of available addresses (which was considered a likely sign of misconfiguration), and didn't attempt to specify what to do in the case where it happens.

Not giving out an address and notifying the systems administrator is what the DHCP spec recommends in this case. In fact, section 2.2 claims "The allocation mechanism (the collection of DHCP servers) guarantees not to reallocate that address within the requested time" so any reclamation of IP address on the part of the server is technically in violation of RFC 2131.
Really too bad to see such a large price increase, they have lost money from me.
that's a great idea. we wanted to release a minimal viable product first to get feedback and ideas for new features. our beta actually already yielded a lot of helpful suggestions like allowing manual approval/editing as well as enabling auto-generated coupons for new followers.

we definitely will allow more granular control going forward.
Oh God, that stirs some memories. I'll read it again, thank you.

Sounds like a round for the founders and employees to sell some shares (called a series f?), unless Dropbox has some major expansion planned to build its own CDN and data centres instead of using S3. The amount of savings at there scale (200 million new files / day [1]) would be huge as data via S3 is already more expensive then running your own bare metal boxes. I would imagine that Dropbox pays some sort of bulk price, but I can't find any information.

I don't think the 5 billion dollar valuation is out of the ball park considering that they solve a problem that a lot of people encounter including my mother. Their solution is simple and elegant and seems to work. Last statistics I heard they had 25 million users [1] and growing, while I dont know how many of those users are active subscribers I can imagine the conversion ratio is much higher then normal freemium products.

While there has been a lot of anti-Dropbox news in the tech press lately, we need to remember we live in an information bubble that doesn't reach the normal user.

The Google+ Game Plan (what Google really has planned)
Strange but not unexpected. Google Music doesn't work with my phone however it does attempt to replace the stock Music app by adding a second app called the exact same thing and anytime I try to play a music file it tries to load the Google Music app that doesn't work.

You're complaining about Belgium when Nepal is on the top 10 list?
I think there is a large class of people who have no moral objections to piracy. The only reason why they pay for something like netflix or itunes is because of convenience. That is, they are paying for the convenience, not the content. Therefore if the price goes up, and exceeds whatever value they are pricing that convenience, they naturally revert to other methods of getting the content (i.e. piracy).

So stealing is not ok because they didn't follow lean business principles--stealing was okay in the first place. It was just a happy coincidence that using netflix wasn't stealing.

You have a good point. Did the monkey get any bananas? It could be a Work for Hire situation.
No, from my experience with sharedtalk this is a definite problem for certain language learners (although not necessarily the startup since they don't need to appeal to everybody). Native speakers of English are in demand from native speakers of almost all languages. If you are a native speaker of a language popular with English speakers (such as Spanish or French) and want to learn English you are also in luck. However, on sharedtalk there are often many speakers of certain languages (such as Turkish and Chinese) wanted to learn English whilst the reverse is not true, and if, for example, you are a Turkish speaker wanted to learn Czech then your chances of finding a suitable exchange partner are very slim indeed.

The speakers on sharedtalk also vary with the time of day, so it helps if your timezone is similar to that of the countries which speak the language you wish to learn.

Looks interested! But I find the function args syntax very confusing:

greet =: user msg
console log('hello #{user} #{msg}')

You're using whitespace as a message separator AND as an argument separator.

Also, I don't think it is possible to implement lazy arg eval (opt-in callee evaluated messages) in a VM. That's why IO is an ast walking interpreter.

Good luck!
Sweet! I love seeing your thoughts come to fruition in the language design, and how you compare your syntax and semantic choices to ruby and js. Congrats!

I’d also say that going back to school is a good way to update your life
and change your profession. I’m a firm believer in getting government
student loans and using them to go to school. They’re cheap, low
interest, and the US government is usually very nice about letting you
pay them back. I’m not so sure about other places around the world
though.

CoffeeScript: A New Hope for JavaScript
Of course we can't all be Picasso (the role was filled by some guy who was hanging out in Paris at the right time), but that is no reason not to try. Trying to raise the collective professional standard is a Good Thing. I think more people should try to emulate Zed Shaw in terms of coding competence (there are already enough people trying to emulate him in terms of 'surly fellow who gets away with being a tremendous asshole on account of being a tremendous asshole who's usually right').
This is an excellent point, I think you are right. On shared talk the number of people in voice chat is always significantly lower than in the text chat although once in text chat people often, after say 5 mins of chatting, ask to move to skype for voice chat. Also, as a learner of Portuguese, I've noticed that the Portuguese/English native speaker ratio is usually much high in voice chat than for text chat which may be to do with the more extroverted nature (in general) of Brazilians compared to people from English speaking countries.
I'm pretty sure that was by far the most popular plan.
I have plans :D thanks man!
