There's something to be said for being straightforward though. If you can subtly build a flowing narrative that eloquently describes your beliefs without stating them, good for you. I generally do better just by calling a spade a spade, even if it doesn't like being called a spade. Sometimes people don't like that, and I accept it. But in general, I think people trust me because they know there aren't multiple levels of meaning to everything I say.

And besides that, what's wrong with cult-of-personality moves? Generally, strictly logical arguments don't get anywhere. I know because I've spent years losing arguments because I couldn't focus on anything but the logic. :-)
Perhaps a better example here is the work of the empirical psychologists Fechner, Weber, Helmholtz, Wundt &c., respectively influenced by and reacting to Mach and Kant.
I don't mind the harsh criticism, i actually love it. Makes me wana try even harder. Now what I do all day? I got a full time job where i work 8-10 hours. Then remaining time I put into implementing my idea. What we have implemented in last 2 months doing part-time would take full times teams even longer. So I know a thing or two about busting balls.

Anyways, post your # and would love to chat with you and hear about your personal experiences and achievements.
This. Private tagging and public tagging should be separate. I'd love to be able to tag the pictures with my kid in it, who is 2 and has no email address or, of course, Google+ account, and a few other people/animals who also don't have these things either because they don't care to or because they're animals, because I want to orginize them. I can do this on my local computer with desktop Picasa but then I have to start worrying about loosing my local data again, the whole reason I paid for the extra storage on Picasa in the damn first place.
All my time wasted meticulously trolling too many sites to count.
He managed to get some publicity, so I guess he reached the goal. I wouldn't hire him though, he gives the impression that he is a pain to work with.
As I recall, it's not that they force you to go public, it's that they force you to start reporting a lot of information publicly (revenue, etc.) similarly to how public companies have to.
The position she was applying for was not a programmer job; it was a community manager position, and doesn't involve any programming apparently. So your arguments, while valid, are besides the point.

Giving this a try now. While I'm waiting for XCode to download, can anyone comment on the best way to get Apache httpd running on OSX? Is there a Homebrew package for this?

I use Apache to front Tomcat on a linux server, but it would be really handy to be able to test stuff locally on my Mac before copying changes up to the server.
Such service could work, although it could possibly create a nuisance for continuosly updating your wallet that are tied to other services such as bitcoin mining deposit accounts, or if you ever treated your bitcoin wallet to handle monthly subscriptions, like a credit card. For the sake of true anonymity though, such inconvenience may still be worth it.
Upvoted. I sort of "forget" people here don't really know me. In other circles, it's perfectly okay for me to say that. I used to give a lot of advice in "gifted" circles on the internet. He's actually had some testing. I was a very minor presenter at a gifted convention thingy. A presentation there and conversation with the presenter (big name in testing circles and such) clued me. (Due to professional ethics, she could not give me a number but did remark "It will be okay because you homeschool"...in other words "My sympathies. You have quite a challenge on your hands.") ...blah blah blah.

I don't think he's "gifted". I think he's a huge pain in the butt. But I also adore him.

Thanks for the feedback.
Its not based on media hype. If you've had personal dealings with the government, you'd notice that it takes weeks and several people that the private sector does with a single web form.

Its obvious that even software development is bloated beyond belief with no pressure to actually be responsible with the people's money.

From what I can observe, there are plenty of people that believe what politicians say. And that's a far more dangerous thing than listening to all the conflicting superficial voices of the media. There are just as many voices in the media that claim more government is the answer to every problem as say more government is bad.

Government is perfectly efficient at spending money on its pet projects and pet people. 100% of the money go to them.

But what the people who pay for this massive mess care about is what matters.
Twitter is already the dominant force in whatever it is you would call what they do, and they can't fund their operations without huge influxes of cash at regular intervals. This makes me wonder why investors would let them spend investor money on something that doesn't at all help them stay afloat long enough to become profitable.

Perhaps there is something in this that makes them more likely to be a success? Perhaps they are making employees agree to stay for some amount of time as a part of accepting an option buyout? Giving away 5% of the value of your company seems like an expensive way to avoid some SEC paperwork, so I'm at a loss on why they would do this, other than just to be really nice.

thermodynamic efficiency should correlate pretty strongly to watt/area because the device harvests sunlight.
The article insists on the plant's low maintenance costs, so this may be a stupid question, but won't the greenhouse* have to be washed regularly of dust? I imagine the accumulation of detritus would significantly impact power production.

Since this seems to work on temperature differentials, could you run it up the side of a mountain? Seems you could get height differences of 5-7k feet in a lot of places with that approach...
Admit it: environmentalism was an ugly experiment
Side note: /&([^&;]+);/g won't actually parse character entities in HTML correctly. There're a number of corner cases in the HTML5 spec for historical reasons, and this is one of them. In some cases, it's legal (well, it's a parse error, but the parser must return the specified entity) to leave off the trailing semicolon. Except in attributes, where it depends on what the character following the last character of the entity is. The particular cases are enumerated in a table that is over 2000 lines long.

http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/...

The example is particularly instructive: &notit; is parsed as &not; followed by "it;", but &notin; is parsed as a full entity.

So yes, even for HTML entity parsing (which wasn't the question she was being asked), the correct answer really is "use a library".
Really? Very cool idea, but some of the claims sound downright ridiculous.

First, the zero maintenance claim that is touted at least 3 times by the article seems suspicious. You can't really leave anything out in the desert sun and not have to maintain or replace it. Sun will disintegrate a lot of material, not to mention wind and sand. Anybody have any info or insight into what material they are using to create the "greenhouse"?

Additionally, the claim that "In fact, because you're creating a greenhouse underneath, it actually turns out to be remarkably good for growing vegetation under there." does not seem to jibe at all with the claimed temperatures ("add in the greenhouse effect and you've got a temperature under your collector somewhere around 80-90 degrees (176-194 F)"). I'm not sure I'm familiar with any vegetation that grows in near 200 degree temperatures.

Does anyone have any actual experience with this kind of tech?
It might be a poorly defined term, but I believe "web scale" refers to the performance and availability, not features, of web applications. To say "They messed up feature X for population Y" doesn't speak to their ability to scale.

No matter how much effort Google put into supporting "real names", they would still disappoint somebody. Does Facebook do this any better? I believe they also require users to provide their "real name".
That's really nice work.

I think it should be adopted by the official client, and, ideally, the users educated as to its usage; it would mitigate a lot of the entity resolution, which our work shows is a widespread problem.
No, it's because you're splitting hairs when the message was obvious. They used 'height' not 'elevation', and it is common knowledge that the Empire State (Building) was once the tallest building in the world.
It is a sad state of affairs that Tech conferences are now having to institute acceptable behavior guidelines.

Looking at some of the Past events, I suspect that at least some of this behavior is because some of the presenters want to be seen as "edgy". They will throw up a provocative image or make a sexist or borderline racist/Offensive comment to depict how much of a rebel they are.

Does this really add to the Technical weight or clarity of their talk? Personally speaking, I would never work with anybody who did this - no matter if they were a 10X productive super rockstar who invents new languages on the side.
"Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing more to cut off."

Seems to me like you'd need to keep all the glass clean too, which means more manpower & water/air power to get all the crap off.

I'd be quite curious what the actual maintenance costs will be. Still, no feedstock into the process means that you'd have to have pretty serious component failure to bring the running costs up to oil plants presumably.

I think it does align some of the founders and early employees with the investors.

The founders get to pocket a few million dollars, stop worrying about their paychecks and from there, they can shoot for the stars, which is something the investors want.

Well, that was easy; my work here is done. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to prove white is black and get myself killed on the next zebra crossing.

I'm browsing through there and see you've got good coverage on HN already. Is your thesis available publicly anywhere? I'd be interested in reading the full-strength version.
Yes, but that brings up a good question. Anyone who owns a computer knows that air isn't pristine. It picks up all kinds of crap. If this beast has as much suction as the article implies, it's going to be inhaling all kinds of debris. I would guess it gets filtered so you don't damage the turbines, in which case somebody's going to have to be cleaning those filters pretty regularly.
7 inch tablet PC is the most popular 
So the manufacturer start try the other size of tablet PC, like 9.7 inch, 8 inch and 7 inch, but from the aspect of market demand, obviously the 7 inch tablet PC is the winner on degree of popularity. And in society the women’s spending power is growing. The demand and consumption of women to tablet PC is also occupying a larger rate, and they prefer small size. So 7 inch seem is the best suitable tablet size for the market demand.

At ~$2000 / site (which may be negotiable), I doubt he's doing them all from scratch. It seems he does the graphics, text, and setup.

>The query in question, the one that took 4 seconds, simply could not be implemented in a NoSQL system, except for implementing all the logic of the query in application code

I sincerely doubt that.

>NoSQL solutions also push a lot of data consistency tasks into the application code.

Sometimes, not necessarily. Depends on the consistency model and how much you care about consistency in each case. SQL also forces you to implement eventual/less-than-immediate consistency in various forms just so your application doesn't fall apart.

Lets readdress the first thing I responded to by probing how aware you are of what is out there.

If one were to implement, and I mean this in the simplest possible terms, a join and a group by in Riak, what would be the most straightforward means of doing so?
There's more than the privacy issue. If the tagged person does not have a Google+ account, then Google+ sends an email with subject "<Name of person tagging photo> invited you to join Google+" for every photo tagged. Spammy.
Get out of California then. Go to Nevada, Texas, Washington, anywhere that will be friendly at the moment to your idea. Seriously. Do what ever it takes to climb that mountain.
Copyright and drug laws are the two largest offenders in this respect. Check out the recent moves the the US Congress to make linking to the 'wrong' site a felony (the '10 Strikes' legislation).

Once they've criminalized being a common person, then the government can exercise discretion and selection to eliminate people they does not like, for any reason.

Aggregators don't make money!
You say "necessary elements", but I'm not quite sure what you mean. If you take the list from the article, I wouldn't really call any of them "necessary" to create a nude painting. They were just the ones that a lot of other people were using. That doesn't mean they're definitive in any way.

I use this system in photography all the time. I find breaking something down into distinct elements really helps you identify what's going on. It feels decidedly "uncreative" when you're doing it, but it works.

Rediscovering sublimation? Again? ^_^

It is said thousands years ago - control your emotions or be controlled by emotions. Freud emphasized that energy bounded to some emotions and mental states can be redirected, transformed, controlled.

General Taosist example is a river overflowed with monsoon water. It sweeps out everything when uncontrolled, but if people have built some dams and walls in advance, then all flooding waters will run into more-or-less controlled way.

So, if one can control himself why not use ones obsessions instead of being used by them?

This is inaccurate. You should at least know that moisture(water) is a big problem for most materials, more so than heat. Put your phone in the water, leave your bike outside, etc. It will rust.

This is why planes are routinely stored in the desert by the military. It's funny how people have a tendency to assert authority into areas of which they know little about. It may seem intuitive that the desert would not be an ideal place, that it would require a lot of maintenance - but maybe it's the opposite.

What do i know? I know that heat and uv radiation are not the only corrosive forces to materials. I know that water, is one of them. And i know that the desert lacks water, by definition. I'm not trying to play expert, but it irks me when people do, who are not.

That's a good point. Let me clarify. They won't have to pay for a feedstock. They may have to pay to ensure that there isn't damage to turbines, but i would have to think that turbines would be sturdy enough to cope w/ some particulate matter (or that wear and tear would be factored into maintenance costs).

What i'd also be interested in hearing is whether there's a drop in efficiency if particulate matter increases, and if so, what kind of curve fits the inefficiency
I think the F-35 is a better example. The selling point was re-usable components for three different jets. The only thing soaring are project costs.

>> Google is developing a social system

As I've said before, Facebook beat MySpace because it uses "real names". It's a lot easier to discover people you know, and that drives adoption. Google+ has to copy them, if they want to win the masses over.

They might be better off letting you have several, privately linked identities. For example, I could have friends under my "wisty" account, and friends under my real name. But they are best waiting until the muggles have already created great name accounts, and hooked up with their high-school semi-friends.

Once google is on near-equal terms with facebook, they can allow handles as well as real names. You could just move your "internet friends" circle over to your handle, and leave your "school friends" circle on your real name account. But until they have everyone's real name, this would be a poor business decision.
