Use Of Hypnosis In Regaining Memory
This is regarded to as the major basis for the emergence of the whole hypnosis issue. Many people have a likelihood of losing memory mainly after fatal events like accidents. Psychiatrists and physicians adopt the use of hypnosis to induce a relaxed environment in the client’s mind so that they may open up to them. This condition sends them back to a situation where they can remember the last successive events just before their memory loss.
Suprised no one has yet brought up the obvious comparison to campfirenow.com and hipchat.com. While being free and self host-able is nice, the Candy UI seems light years behind its for pay competitors.

But I'm glad to see more options available. I've been advocating web-based chat in my offices for quite a while now, and am happy that a few decent choices have finally started to pop up in the past couple years.
I'm kind of shocked that "all reports" would say code is easy to port between iOS and Android. Have any sources for this? For me its not even just the differences between unmanaged Obj C vs managed Java + XML, but also the overall development patterns used are fairly different (note that I'm not a professional mobile guy, I do .Net and web for a living but I've looked around at both platforms before).

I've hardened myself to them. Crank up the cynical notch and think "I don't participate in gimmicks like this, I'm not barking like a dog for a few measly bucks from these guys" and arrogantly leave the coupon code blank. Its essentially an emotional appeal anyway.

I don't think anybody(or any union for that matter) will stop working just like that. Especially considering the fact that time is equally crucial for them.

It happens. The union has a very charismatic "one of us" leader, and when he says the trucks stop, the trucks stop. A few years back, they stopped bringing milk and meat for a month to protest a new tax. This in a country where it's normal to eat meat more than 4 times a week, and milk is considered to be a basic need.

I'm not against any hardworking person becoming rich. They certainly deserve to reap the benefits of their hard work. what I am against is for someone who was not elected democratically having the power to drive the direction of a countries growth.

No offense meant but who is "us"? I'd like to look at your site, compare it to my target market, and then decide if I think it's a technique we could use.

The big concern in implementing techniques like this is that the number of (a) abandoned carts rises due to people who have a coupon yet can't figure out how to use it (or didn't read the instructions in your email), and then (b) the number of support requests will rise. If "us" is a company with 1000 customers, I'm not sure that you've tested the scalability of it with promotional emails sent to, say, 50,000 people on a Tuesday morning. Support for shopping cart-related frustrations is one of those "You'd better provide a response ASAP or you will probably lose the sale" types of problems.
A large number of New York City startups use something called PartyChat (hosted on AppEngine). It is maintained by some current/former NYC Googlers, and basically creates an IRC style chat interface over XMPP, allowing you to create fairly full featured chatrooms using your various Gtalk or XMPP accounts. It's easily extensible with commands and "hooks", so you can pipe code commits, deploy messages, alerts, and the like into the chatroom.

> I really do think he means that he marks as spam messages that are not spam.

You honestly think I mark as spam receipts, emails I ask for, and email from friends? Did I really need to put the disclaimer in? I thought "While I'm not limiting spam to this definition," was enough.

Here, I'll help you.

Just to be clear, I also don't mark as spam email from my half-sisters, half-brothers, brother, sisters-in-law, brother-in-law, mother-in-law, father-in-law, step-mother, step-father, and my wife. Oh wait, forgot to mention all my cousins, and the rest of the family! Clearly, I must mark them as spam.

Most of the profit in the banking industry comes from being able to take on massive risk, while simultaneously being cushioned from that risk by the government. Risky positions and derivatives are extremely profitable, but for most people -- those without guaranteed bailouts, or cushy borrowing rates -- the risk is too great. For investment banks, as we've seen, the risk is minimal to nonexistant (or at least the banks seem to function as though it is).

Traditionally, the role of the financial industry was to "provide access to capital," primarily by underwriting, facilitating, and assisting in the execution of large transactions and deals for corporate clients. This role is, ostensibly at least, productive to the overall ("real") economy.

Over the last 30-odd years, and especially over the last decade, the center of profit for the financial industry has shifted away from its traditional role (transactional facilitation), and toward the taking of proprietary positions in various capital markets. It's simply too tempting not to -- as Uncle Sam will lend you your leverage virtually free of charge, and he'll also be there to mop up your mess if you make one.

Imagine being able to gamble at a roulette table with free money, and being given more chips every time your bet busts.
I remember Krugman writing that a $1.5 billion stimulus was needed, but is a stimulus of that magnitude really feasible? We spent half that and had trouble with funding enough "shovel ready" projects. I think it's harder to infuse $1.5 trillion into an economy than he takes for granted, without pissing much of it away.
I guess you're just misunderstanding the concept of the key. A modifier key is only modifying when you press something at the same time. So when you do alt-a, that's a modifier; when you just press and release, it does something else. Quite simple, I never had a problem with it.
I'm haven't said that, so please don't insult my students by saying that. My argument for it being a capstone stems not at all from that it's too hard. We can not, should not require our students to be putting in the amount of time necessary, in my opinion 40hrs/week, to completely 100% understand this material as a freshman. In my mind, completely understanding it is required for the 'enlightenment' that many like about SICP, but this is not true for many other courses. By putting it in Python, students can learn many useful skills along the way.

Furthermore, I'm arguing that all things being equal, the time is better spent as a senior when you might be able to get the same points for a much lower time commitment.

And, please, remember that this is just one class in a curriculum of CS courses. There is a lot of effort being put in by dozens of professors to graduate the best and brightest, which we do.

Or flogging and self-torture if you're a Christian ascetic. More seriously, there are thousands of years worth built-up knowledge with regard to humans examining their desires and contriving methods of engaging them in a way which leads, if not to happiness, then contentment. Much of that examination is wrapped up in religion, but if you can pry it out or study a secular philosophy of passion--say, Zen Buddhism--then there is much to be learned.

If you're interested in books, I like these.

Intro to programming books:

Matthias Felleisen, Robert Bruce Findler, Matthew Flatt, and Shriram Krishnamurthi. How to Design Programs: An Introduction to Programming and Computing.

Daniel P. Friedman (Author), Matthias Felleisen (Author), Duane Bibby (Drawings), Gerald J. Sussman (Foreword). The Little Schemer.

Programming language principles & implementation books:

Daniel P. Friedman, Mitchell Wand, and Christopher T. Haynes. Essentials of Programming Languages.

Shriram Krishnamurthi. Programming Languages: Application and Interpretation.

Matthias Felleisen, Robby Findler, and Matthew Flatt. Semantics Engineering with PLT Redex

These are all by pretty much the same group of people (but distributed across the US: http://racket-lang.org/people.html) so the books all go together really well.

Having been to quite a few other first world countries (Europe and Canada) and having relatives there, I would say that the upper middle class life is most definitely not better anywhere else. In America, you can get a nice big house, a nice big car, and have a comfortable life.

For example, I'm in Japan right now, and I miss the central air conditioning (here they have boxed air conditioners in select rooms instead). I miss the ridiculously cheap prices for just about anything I might want to buy. But most of all, while there are certainly advantages to having a convenient public transit system, I have to say that I miss having the wide open road before me and the sweet feeling of metal roaring to go beneath my feet.

Of course, things may be different for the poor, since they certainly have it pretty bad in America, but I am fortunate enough to have never known poverty.
I think you have failed to grasp what was said. It's not an "interesting observation", it's about as fundamental a misinterpretation as you can get.

Unless you are suggesting that Google didn't know why the others were bidding on patents in the first place, in which case you have to tell us why Google was bidding at all.

We didn't spend close to that on stimulus, $288B were direct tax breaks to individuals and companies. Most of the rest went to bailing out programs suffering from the lack of incoming tax dollars (Medicaid, education, food stamps, unemployment insurance, etc). It's great that kids continued to get healthcare, and teachers didn't get the axe, but that doesn't cut it for what I'd consider "stimulus".

Just $105B went to "infrastructure" and was highly politicized to the point projects became difficult to find (for example my governor, one of the least popular in the country, refused [billions of] stimulus money for rail because it was Obama's idea). Republicans were looking at any chance to make the stimulus look like a failure since it wasn't their idea while at the same time looking to take any money they could for their districts. Basically dump on the big obvious projects and then take credit for saving teacher jobs and doing minor infrastructure work all the while not mentioning where the funds came from. It's pathetic.

Even being a tiny chunk, the infrastructure portion has been noticeable where I live. There are two stimulus funded housing developments going up within walking distance, the Federal Court House down the block is getting a much needed retrofit, bridges are being repaired, etc etc.
Consultant sues RIM, claims he was inventor of Blackberry "push" patent
So you're going to argue both sides of the question? You're really going to argue that every trick in the book has been tried, and that the amount that non-lying economists recommended to spend wasn't feasible? Which is it?

In actuality, the correct answer is that there are a vast supply of projects going undone for lack of money - crumbling bridges, roads, water pipes, sewer pipes, high-speed rail, just to get started - and that if there had been the political will to spend money on those types of manpower-intensive projects, the economy would be in much better shape today. (You get new bridges, smooth roads, AND a working economy.) Instead a vast amount of money was spent, most of it going to benefit a few thousand of the richest people in the U.S., who have dutifully saved their profits in off-shore tax havens, creating no economic benefit.
Of course he uses money as a measure of success, he's an investor!

Buffet did an interview on CNBC some years ago where the question where he was asked about success and his reply was something to effect of "Success doing what you love and doing it well".

This rings true to me.

A little anecdote told by my father in law, who was Buffett's pilot for a time, tells of Buffett being welcomed home to Omaha by a hostess. On remarking that he'd lived in the same house for 50 years it's claimed she said "Gee! You must have a lot of equity in that house Mr. Buffett."

Whether this speaks to the unpretentiousness of Warren Buffett or the unworldliness of the hostess is an exercise for the reader.

Austerity by the states and local governments has outstripped stimulus by the federal government. I find it hard to argue that 'we've thrown every Keynesian trick in the book at this recession', I would argue we haven't yet tried much Keynesian economics at all.

If you look at the job reports over the last year, more often than not the private sector was adding jobs while the government has been shedding jobs (first firing census workers - obviously that doesn't count, but then states and local governments contracting)

And you can make a fairly simple correlation between the winding down of the federal stimulus and the current feeling that we are going into a double dip.

I know you can look at this data and come to either conclusion (that we did a stimulus and we're not having a roaring economy now, or that we didn't do enough stimluus and we're not having a roaring economy now), and also that proving causation in economics is very hard, but I personally think that the economics show that the stimulus was too small while the politics show that the stimulus was too big.

Unsorted list of questions:

- Holy crap.

- How?

- How long did it take you to reach this point?

- Was luck a big factor? (Honestly.)

- Is your revenue spread evenly across your apps, or does it follow a power curve? Does your top-selling app account for around 50% of your income?

- How did you market / promote your apps?

- How did you decide what apps to build? (Probably the most important question.)

- Do you have a "launch strategy"? That is, when you finish making an app, and you submit it to the AppStore... Do you have any particular strategies? For example I've noticed a lot of developers write their app's description like: "Blah Blah says: our app is the bee's knees!" "Even your grandpa can't tear himself away from our app!" Etc. Does stupid stuff like that actually work? (Ok, those examples were perhaps exceptionally stupid, but you get the idea.)

I am not claiming that anonymity is the source of all crime.

Perhaps some of the misunderstanding is due to the broad definition of anonymity I'm using. Anonymity as I use it is the inability to link a person's actions to their identity. This type of anonymity breaks a lot of our social institutions. For example, if you don't know that a person committed a crime it's hard to arrest them.

If Anders Breivik was anonymous he would still be wandering Norway because no one would know that he was responsible for the murders. Some of the information I've read suggests that he wanted (or at least expected) to be caught. In such situations anonymity may actually discourage crime. I would guess, however, that most criminals would rather not be caught.
Even more than that, there should be laws against contentless articles like this.
