However, Google know what you're looking for, and all your past search terms. Although Facebook might have more demographic information, with google, you can target ads for people who are looking for dog worming tablets, regardless of who they are.
That's right, it depends on the priorities we set as a society for this kind of thing. Not just living longer, but extending the enjoyable and productive period of a person's life. Of course, I'm in the minority (otherwise I wouldn't have gotten modded into oblivion while the guy who says that he doesn't want to have an impact on the world is praised and congratulated) but I still firmly believe it's worthwhile.

What I don't get is why many people are so violently opposed to this. I'm not even talking about transhumanism or anything as controversial as that, just preventing "old" people from degenerating.

As a med student I saw so many people wasting away in retirement homes, many of them were not even that old. With advances in biotech, I hope we'll give my generation a much more active and empowered existence when we come into this age group.
In the current economic climate I would encourage people to think really carefully before quitting their jobs. No matter how dynamic or talented you may be, it's a pretty tough environment.

Doctors already do: WHO, Medicins sans frontiers etc. How do you think smallpox and polio were eliminated world-wide ? Now that is "changing the world".

> "Unlimited usage for a flat, monthly fee" this would suggest

The weasely way around that, used certainly by UK ISPs in defending their use of the word "unlimited" is that you have unlimited access (24/7/365.25) rather than unlimited bandwidth use. While they meant "use as much bandwidth as you like" they never specifically said that, so they no claim they didn't mean that and noone can proove otherwise. The claim is that it is unlimited compared to dial-up days when ISPs had to maintain a massive rack of modems so, particularly for cheap or free-call ISPs, you would have limits like "up to X hours per day" and "no session longer than X hours".

So while it can be said to be deceptive and dishonest, it doesn't actually breach truth-in-advertising laws (at least over here).

There is an ISP over here (Sky) making a big thing of actually offering "use as much bandwidth as you can", though there is more weaseling there - there is heavy protocol level traffic shaping which limitis how much you can actually use and there is still a "fair use policy" which is sufficiently vague that it could mean anything.

I pay good money for what is essentially a business account. It has a 300G limit, but that can carry over from month to month and if I go over (unlikely) and don't have any carry-over left from last month they'll just charge me a known rate for the extra (charging by byte, not in much larger blocks). That is the only way (here at least) you can get a proper, unfiltered, unshaped, un-anything-you-didn't-ask-for-ed connection. Pay for what you want and you have a chance of getting what you pay for.
if you have less impressions, most likely you will get less clicks
And oddly none of the new browsers has the balls to tackle this problem, they're all about web standards which are very cumbersome for building business apps. MS obviously don't want to tackle it as they want desktops to last as long as possible.

The obsession with a web page as a document is the part that needs to be addressed.

Firefox's long lacking support for something as simple as overflow:ellipsis is one of the examples of the anti app ethos of browsers. You don't need it much on web pages, but it's pretty essential in business apps as you've got to present a lot of data but need to show it compactly. And it's essential to indicate there's more text to a comment or email.

That and the terrible support for non-fixed layout.
fwiw, that's true for cs and stat, and I assume for math too. What I refer to is something like this:

http://arxiv.org/find/all/1/AND+AND+ti:+riemann+ti:+hypothes...

This is a particularly egregious example; but if I'm looking for something on a different subject where I don't know some of the notable researchers, or don't know what I'm looking for, it would take me a lot more time than I'd like to spend to filter out the more interesting papers.
I am very interested in the outcome of this. Could you please make sure to post what you do and the results of those actions.
Which is to say, it does not match your style of interacting with email. Many Gmail users out there (Facebook mail, even?) are using email very differently and programs like this (Sparrow, Lion Mail) are catering for them.

Personally, I don't ever use folders. I've been there, and I'm glad I got it over with. I have no use whatsoever for Outlook-like complexity and complex rule sets. And please don't think that this is just because I don't deal with email a lot. But there are different kinds of people who use email in different ways. To each his own.
So I updated my code to also print out debug. And Haskell now is almost 4 times faster than F# on my computer ;)

As somebody pointed out, it's initialised here.

But in general, uninitialized variables aren't even random in C. Accessing them is undefined. That means you aren't guaranteed to get a bogus value, you could just as well get a nasal demon.
How to Buy a Business
We have a fundamental belief that the only way that we can maximise the sale price of any business is by generating real or perceived competition between buyers. This is only achieved when we implement a world class buyer generation strategy.
If what you want to use Evernote for can be done in Notepad, then you might not be the right audience. Or you might not be thinking big enough. I've been using Evernote since very early, and it took me awhile to get it, too.

I have a few differet use cases:

1. Keeping a copy of almost everything I read online. The search feature makes it easy to find stuff, and having a screenshot-like copy means I can tell when people try to disappear stuff. In my opinion, 95% of people using Pinboard and Delicious are doing it wrong; if you want to record where to find (highly dynamic) information then those are the right tools, but if it's information itself you want, why not just have a copy?

2. More general recordkeeping. The automated OCR means I can take a picture of a receipt and both (a) have it and (b) find it later when I need to be reimbursed. My family also moves far and frequently for work, and Evernote provides an extra place to store the kids' shot records, tax returns, etc. (You can make encrypted notes, or upload pre-encrypted files.)

And despite the fact that everything is in the cloud, a backup copy of your account is kept on your computer, so even if Evernote goes bust or loses your stuff, you've got a backup copy.

They also have great customer service. When my credit card number changed and my premium membership didn't get renewed, they just ave me a couple of months free while I got it sorted out. And it's $50/year ($4/mo) for a premium account! It's worth $4/mo just to be able to scan my records and then throw away te paper copies.
I think most people these days have switched to webmail in one form or another. Build this as a web app, not a strict desktop client.

The demo has it running on OSX. OSX users are more open to the idea of having (and paying for) a desktop application. From a business perspective, an OSX desktop application might make sense.
Isn't there, like, Eudora and some Oracle stuff, and several other corporate content management blobs that do complex email management, too?

Really? I know plenty of people that aren't meant to be bosses and need someone else to guide them.

Not everyone is cut out to be a CEO or President, etc.
Finally a client that merges / blurs the line between my email conversations and my IM conversations. I like to have a Skype open as a continuous conversation with people, like a link dump or easy way to share files. This seems to do the same for email. Great.
Who says it's about effectiveness of the ad? It might just be effectiveness of getting money from the advertisers. More data means you can do more hand-waving to say that this ad will be the one that really really reaches people this time.

I do as well. I sum up my online purchases from Amazon, add my wife's in, and pay the money. It goes to funding the things I use: Roads, firefighters, the library, the park next to my house. Heck, there was a fire two weeks ago in the apartment building next to where I live-- we sure as hell appreciated the firemen who came at 4:00am to prevent a catastrophe.

The argument above about how it's impossible/expensive/complicated/etc. to collect sales tax seems exceedingly bogus to me especially given the nature of HN: Sounds like a business problem to be solved, not some byzantine task. Someone should go make an online sales-tax-computing web service and be done with it.

Oh wait, someone did: http://salestaxwebservice.com/, http://www.avalara.com/products/avatax/calc, et cetera.

That is beautifully designed. Here are some thoughts from first impressions of the web app:

The Facebook login page looks like an error page. Coming from the beautifully designed homepage, it looks like a completely different site. Why don't you just add the facebook connect button on the homepage? Saves me a click and keeps it beautiful.

Once connected, it lists events by default by Popular. The problem is that some of the most popular events in my Facebook feed are in the past. Since your focus is on getting people out, I'd not even list past events. Just sort future events by popularity and filter by location, friends and time.

I just noticed the buttons at the bottom of the screen. I don't know how they look on a phone but on my computer screen, they are almost invisible. You might want to change the colour a bit.

On a particular event's page, the text is almost unreadable, as you'd expect from grey text on a grey background. This seems to be the most common annoyance I spot on well-designed websites. Maybe designers can perceive tiny differences in shades of colours, but most normals like me can't.

I'm not sure what the search function is for. It doesn't return any results for my friends' names, even when I can see events listed by them.

[Edit: In the list of events, it doesn't show me which friend of mine has created the event. Putting a picture of my friends' faces next to each event will make me hugely more likely to click on them.]

[Edit: Your blog doesn't link back to your main site. If I launched an app every time I spotted this on a startup blog, I'd be the appiest man in the world.]

One social problem with this kind of listing of events is that while it's cool to see what events my wider circle of friends are attending, it's not very useful unless I've been invited. (edit: and if I've been invited, umm your app is not very useful.) If I can see Sally is going to the music festival next Sunday in the park near my house, that's cool but I won't join her unless she invites me or she's a really good friend who won't mind me turning up.

Which brings me to the main problem with the concept of this app. Your taglines are:

Don’t know where to go and whom with? Discover what your friends are up to!

The first one (where to go) is often a question I have. Whom with? Never. I mostly go out with the same set of friends and their friends. Discovering what my friends are up to is not hard with Twitter, Facebook, SMS, email or a phone call.

I haven't yet seen or used an app which recommends me things to do based on my interests and the events I've been to. Maybe Foursquare does this. I should try it out, but its focus (check-ins to get free beers) is something I'm not too interested in.

If you made something which actually tells me really fun stuff to do (my kind of fun), I'd use it, even if the design was fugly. Like Google.
Sorry, I fell asleep somewhere about 10 seconds into the video when the dreary voice and dreamy music started
For a start they could just use a proper random root password, instead of a default one, and maybe only allow ssh access from the same netblock the install was ordered from.

However, one thing i don't get: Why is it that people don't log in immediately after it is ready? On Linode it only takes a few minutes to (re)install a VM, but GoGrid might be slower of course.

I think his usage of G+ album to create a presentation was awesome and inspiring.

Also I believe he has a point. And found his message to be more lucid, clear and entertaining than 90% of three paragraph ramblings about this and that around here.

And just as a conclusion. Bill Gates was once a radnom person, as was Larry Page, Steve Jobs, Paul Graham, etc...

Maybe you should focus more on originality and evaluate merit of these ideas instead of only craving for more stuff to be fed down your throat by current status Quo holders.

And I believe that this is what HN is about. HN is curated, by HN community - and it's obvious that HN community believes this contribution's place is at the top of the front page.

But you don't have fewer impressions. The number of ads you display doesn't change, you can display just as many targeted ads as you can untargeted ones. If each of the targeted ads has a higher conversion rate, the number of clicks goes up without ever changing the total number of ads you display.

"Quitting your job" seems like the wrong directive. Find a better job.
Because in the end if ads are not effective, you won't be getting money from the advertisers anymore. Marketers can't know in advance which marketing channels will work - so they kinda carpet bomb with their campaigns. However once they start getting data, they sure as hell kill of the channels that don't work.

Unethical behavior does not scale in business, no matter how much your calculations rationalize it. In the end people just go away from sleazy businesses. GM and Ford might tell you a story about it and millions of others short term profit oriented businesses also.

Theres only so much bullshit you can pile up before your reputation catches on to you.
Sure they are, I debated enough to recognize that. I even debated with medical professionals and scientists to this effect. They think it's "unnatural" (whatever that means). For a short while there, my post had a negative score. They don't like to engage, but they are opposed.
My wife is dyslexic. She used to have a hard time with phonemes and syllables containing M/P, T/D, F/V, P/B. Please note that she's a native French speaker, and language type (opaque vs transparent) seems to have an influence on dyslexia. She managed to reach university by herself, but was hitting more and more road blocks especially as she considered a Law cursus. She reached a speech&language therapist ("orthophoniste", don't know how developed it is over there, but it's quite a well-known field here in France) which trained her at working around her difficulties. She's now on a successful path towards a masters degree in Law, and you probably know how much words are of much importance in that field, so I guess it's a total win.

SLTs actually use those associations to quickly and accurately diagnose dyslexia, so sorry, I have no reference to give to you. It may look like anecdotal evidence, but I get that straight from the horse's mouth.

Just like doing sports, everything relies on body gestures and voice command. And this is what you will do when you play in the major game console, Microsoft XBOX 360 with Kinect.

Speech language therapists ("orthophonistes" in France) actually use that kind of technique as training. Sometimes it's colors, or it can be pictures or symbols right above or below letters or words.

Moreover, there are several peer-reviewed journals which are already open (like PlosOne, JASSS or any other at http://www.doaj.org/ ).

The "upvote" mechanism is actually already there although it is called "number of citations". The only thing that is missing is an open system that presents such information in the proper way (something like Scopus, but free/open).

An Interview With Google’s Marcin Wichary
Yesterday I got an email from a journal asking me to submit a paper. They needed it within 2 weeks. And it would be published 2 weeks thereafter. After I spewed coffee through my nose, laughing, I clicked the "spam" button.

Publication in real journals is slow; reviewers are asked to send comments within a month, but they often take more than that. Publication in real journals is difficult; the best-ranked journals reject 90 percent of submissions. Publication in real journals is flexible; complicated decisions about how to transform unpublishable into publishable are made in each step along a long, often meandering and complicated, path.

The simple answer to the question posed ("why publish in peer-reviewed journals") is that, for many fields, not doing so ends a career.

But if the question is, as it seems by comments here and in many conversations I've had with students, "what value do peer-reviewed journals have" the answer is that, for many fields, doing so improves the science for the individual paper, and for the larger corpus.

I'll give you an example: WordPress is Free and Open source. The PHP code that you write for WordPress must be licensed with GPL. Even with that, dozens and may be more of developers and designers are making mad money selling plug-ins and themes. There are free Open Source plugins and themes, too. There can't be a worse situation than that.
