Oz has more startups, even Google have an engineering team located in Sydney. As for VCs, there are quite a few, but compared to the Silicon Valley VCs they don't have the same appetite for risk. Compared to NZ, there are more ops, etc. Cost of living in Oz is somewhat higher than for NZ, but not by much. You have to remember that Oz is about the same size geographically as the US, but with less than 1/10th the population. If you want to ski a lot, the NZ south island is heaven. If you want to surf and enjoy a beach culture, then northern NSW and Queensland are terrific.

Note that in the article comments it is pointed out that it is not clear if the article refers to billionaires in yuan or in dollars. In the former case, there would be many more billionaires and the death stats not quite so unusual.

In the comments the author adds that this article was made to poke fun at China "statistics".

"Hi Luisa: My analysis? Ha! This is purely a case of ambiguous information in / ambiguous information out. Any apples to apples comparison—whether directly or by way of illustration—is purely accidental. In truth, I had a few minutes between meetings and wanted to poke a little fun at China “statistics,” which often leave much unsaid. Besides, I wanted a chance to use the word “nefarious” in a post (as in “death by nefarious means”) and you just made my wish come true. Thanks"
Come on, that is BS statistics.

No. I have not read the book. I feel the point I am making is valid without having read it. The fact is clear that this person is a design profesional even without the book.
Thanks for the comment viggio! Never considered it as a failure of Time Machine but I sure think it is something that can be prevented by Time Machine by just running a integrity check on the disk drive (even as optional feature) prior to doing a backup. After all its a backup that you rely on :)
But there isn't much power there, and we aren't good at extracting power efficiently from lower temperature differentials. I read that wind power goes as the cube of the wind speed, so you really want to maximize this system to extract power during the day time (when the temperature difference and hence wind speed is most), and not the night. Even if it can support 1/2 the wind speed, that's only 1/8th of the power production.

Yeah, ABQ's in the valley so it's probably more prone to thermal inversions. I get the idea (eg, from http://www.arizonensis.org/news/sonorandesertedition/news03_... "PHOENIX, Az. ... The perfume is most noticeable after dark when temperature inversions trap it close to the ground.") that mountains aren't required, and that it's a common feature of deserts, but I wasn't able to track down numbers.

In my experience, small business owners are a hard nut to crack - marketing to them feels a whole lot like mass marketing. And mass marketing feels an awful lot like playing roulette.

Something you might want to think about is turning your existing customers into your sales people via an extremely generous affiliate program (though don't call it an affiliate program - the name makes me cringe).
Please re-read my response. I said it is what our readers wanted. Readers. Sometimes your audience isn't always right and you have to deal with that and show them the way (like Apple), but was not one of those cases.

To re-iterate: OUR READERS WANTED THE HOMEPAGE AND NOT THE MOBILE SITE ON THEIR IPHONES.
I'm Australian but not a lawyer... have heard "unable to pay debts as and when they fall due" as a definition of insolvency, which requires one to declare bankruptcy if directing, say, a limited liability company. The actual act of becoming bankrupt is separate to insolvency, though, so they're probably just trying to cover all bases.

Again, not a lawyer, and only passingly familiar with this stuff, so excuse me if I'm stating the obvious or if it's the same the world over.
Oh because lobbyists have NOTHING to do with the media... sheesh, how could I think such a thing.

That justification is more acceptable, but still a poor excuse (which doesn't sound like your fault), and if anything highlights the problem with the focus of user-centered design.

I'm sure you'd agree, design isn't a democracy. Clearly, your users are wrong.
But where does this $2.5bn get spent on ? Will data centers and employees cost this much.. Also since this is a loss, the actual costs must be much higher than this...

Two problems, IMO.

One, there are a bloody lot of social media services out there now. Why you? You've got a pretty page, but you don't answer that.

Two, "simply reply to our daily emails" doesn't sound very simple. You should give a more specific understanding of what this entails.

There is a lot of potential for value-add by this sort of service so it's something small business could be interested in, but I think you need to improve the pitch.

That big graphic with the Twitter and Facebook icons isn't really contributing anything proportional to the space it's consuming. Can you put something there that addresses these problems? Perhaps an illustration of the email queries.
This makes sense, as financial firms want to avoid cash-strapped employees who might sell HFT algorithms to competing firms for money.
I must admit that it was with some amused curiosity that the primary thing removed to make the site cleaner was "ads". That along with opening paragraphs were the two major changes in layout.

It seems that the author thought that his solitary 'subscribe' button would provide enough income to support a large media organisation and make it nicely profitable - all internet commentary to the contrary.

The other thing I took away was from the navigation bar. So what if it's long? If I'm a regular user, I prefer a mildly long navigation bar as long as the items stay in the same place. I can then get to the subsection I want very quickly, without having to wait for some eye-pleasing pretty animation slowly exposing the subs of some higher heading. Obviously this is a highly personal issue, but his 'prettier' version of doing this involved horizontal nested menus that take up a monstrous amount of vertical space. Most of us have widescreens (not tallscreens) on our non-mobile devices - and woe betide those folks using netbooks.

I think you're right - it's a nice layout for a blog, but doesn't really suit a rapidly-changing, info-packed news site.
Juniper Networks Developer Event on Aug, 4th

I use Netvibes. Good to see other interesting news readers suggested here. I'll give them a try.

I avoid using Google products as much as I can. I still have a Gmail address that some people use, but it forwards to another address. I should probably set up an auto-reply to tell people to stop using it. I still have a site on App Engine that I need to migrate (will give me a good excuse to try Flask or Brubeck :-) The only Google product that I think I'm going to keep using is Youtube, because it has content I can't watch elsewhere.
Porche and Ferrari cars (well, most of them, not of the racing variety) can run on the same gasoline and the same roads as the KIAs and Hyundais.

I agree, and I'll add that Andy's proposed reduction of the front page to a simple series of articles (as in the search interface) is a terrible idea.

He does not understand the value of a long-time reader's experience with parsing text-dense front pages, where headlines give way to subheds, and where reporters' bylines are visible. The whole point of the front page is to tell me what's important at a glance, and they really do a great job at that. It's clear that the editorial team puts a lot of thought into curating the "top half" of the front page, and the "series of articles" approach throws that out.
It appears it's using SVG gradients, so the banding depends on how your browser is rendering it.
The lifesaver for me has been the "Remove This Permanently" Firefox plugin (well, that an the Flashblock plugin).

If something's sufficiently annoying, I just find its xpath and remove it.

Does this put me in the top fractional 1% of browsers? I have no doubt. Does this work for me? Yes. Does the 1% bit bother me? Not in the least.

If anything, it's the final trump card in an argument I've had with web-design geeks that the end-user ultimately trumps style.

Video very likely does bring in the money. I can live with that. But so long as I can rip out the offending content, I'm cool with it.

I've also seen some other good/bad paper designs. In the Bay Area, I'm continually amazed at how good the _design_ of the SF Chronicle is (the content's of course gone fully to crap), and how poor that of the San Jose Mercury News (in the capital of Silicon Valley) is. I actually did an analysis of how much (and respectively little) content was presented above the fold in each design.

Sadly each, even in their online incarnation, is becoming increasingly irrelevant and local-focus blogs/news services are emerging.

On the topic -- if you haven't read John Sealy Brown's _Information Rules_, I'd highly recommend his section on the community-binding element of newspapers (and sports teams). It's a strong indictment of micro-targeted / individualized news streams.

According to the linked article, it's not even yuan billionaires: http://www.hindustantimes.com/72-millionaires-die-young-in-C...

> The numbers of millionaires may be rising steeply in China, but their life span appears to be shorter than average Chinese as studies showed 72 of them died young in the last eight years. The Chinese multimillionaires, whose personal assets exceeded 100 million yuan ($15.51 million), have
died of unnatural causes or passed away at a young age since 2003, according to a report.

For most universities, the transfer credit is evaluated manually at time of admission. For-profit schools are likely to be the major exception. Solve that problem, and you might have a good idea. Absent a solution to that problem, any implementation is going to be very limited.

Also, what's the math on the potential size of the user base? How does that compute against your expected revenue sources? Obtaining data is likely to be effort intensive. In the optimistic case, is it possible for this to break even?
Didn't mean to offend anyone with "shit" - I really meant "too much information to sift through."
Small businesses is too vague a classification. You need to define your target market a bit more specifically.
My point is that when DBAs were new(ish), you had a lot of people you had to train to become them. We don't see this as a problem now because we're past that point in the database arena. The people I knew who ran databases when I was in high school had all learned it on a job somewhere. It's only with my generation (it seems) that DBA was something you got a lot of external training for.

Some of the jobs quoted in the article are short workers because they're relatively new. "Managing integrated supply chains" is something most workers would have learned only recently, since before the spread of IT in the late 1990s/2000s it was pretty much the province of major corporations.
It's worse than that: he cites billionaires in dollars for the total number, while the source for the number killed is billionaires in yuan. These are actually 72 out of 60,000 [1], not 115. Flagged for being terrible "journalism".

OK, this is ridiculous. It appears the original article wans't even talking about yuan billionaires, but instead, yuan hundred millionaires ($15m). Creative headlines are one thing, but manufacturing facts to get traffic is almost blacklist material.

Personally I dislike it when a site redirects me to some mobile version (often breaking the permalink and sending me to the main page). I think a URL should render the same no matter what browser it is being viewed from.
I sit in the middle of blocking ads - I block flash, but leave images. Animations are distracting, and 'proper' advertising tends to use low levels of animation in their images (by 'proper', I mean that newspaper sites don't tend to have "you are the 1000000th visitor!" animated gifs)

The worse ad culprit I ever saw was an ad on article pages that would wait on a timer that would have you about halfway through the second paragraph... then expand to cover the article text. I can't imagine what kind of fresh marketing graduate thought that that would be a winner.

Also, regarding your comment on microcontent - it's often a necessity in the news world because Subeditor Bob has come up with a wacky headline that sounds witty, but out of context has nothing to do with the article. I'm all for the brief illuminating blurb.
In my experience if you set a search engine other than google to the "not so tech-savvy" they will use it to search for "google" and then proceed from there.

Nice post that would be even nicer if accompanied by some pseudocode examples.

You go on and on about constantly reducing the size of your controllers. I'm sold! I just don't know where to start :(

Let's say I am verifying login. So I have the controller that looks something like this:

Function logincontroller() {

if (model->verify(user,pass))
redirect(validurl)
Else
Redirect(invalidurl)

}

How can I improve this? Btw my intended syntax was php but left out proper syntax due to iPhone:)

This isn't going to help us. The "reform the education system" model is usually an incredibly stupid idea. The issue is that you're essentially farming: you take 22 years to grow a new crop of skilled workers.

In the education reform arena, what we should concentrate more on is patching workers. Most people could probably gain hackable proficiency in languages like Java or Python in 6 months or less. We need to be concentrating on this sort of thing, not making high school and college better.

An example: the retraining benefits attached to UI are often meager and highly targeted towards special interests (the construction and healthcare industries seem to loom rather large in my conversations with EDD). What we could be doing instead, at least in California, is directing the CCs and CSUs to create 6 month curricula in more portable skills. Again, we could be teaching scripting languages plus basic data analysis skills.
Don't you think that most of your weight loss was water?
It's more that I get annoyed when I see people doing things for whatever cause they support, and then being surprised when they discover there can be consequences, or that the big entrenched system they're fighting will act like, um, a big entrenched system.
One of the best online newspaper designs I've seen recently is the Indian paper The Hindu (http://www.thehindu.com/). While most Indian newspapers will give you eye-cancer just by looking at them (ex: The Times of India, which is one of the oldest newspapers in the country also has one of the most horrible online editions, plastered with spammy ads and horrible layout). The Hindu has always been a bit of a boring (some might call it lack of sensationalism) but it's got an excellent new redesign. (The original design was like a 1995 webpage)

Also up there in my list is NPR (http://www.npr.org/) and PBS (http://www.pbs.org/). Not technically newspapers, but their pages are mostly about news delivery.

Still, I wonder how this will work out.
It's important to make a distinction medically between pushing as many as people as possible towards the high-age end of that curve on one hand and scaling the entire X axis on the other. The first one is what we're currently doing with modern medicine, and it boils down to debugging the most common causes of premature death.

The second one is completely separate from this and way harder to tackle because it involves messing with the parameters of life in a profound way. The main problem here is that the human body, like all higher life forms on this planet, is designed to be a disposable object from the ground up. We now know that human biochemistry is the result of an evolutionary process which when faced with a problem consistently comes up with the worst possible solution that is still workable. It's 3 billion years worth of crufty spaghetti code, literally.

Contrary to disease, aging isn't one factor going "wrong". It's a million little modules coming to the inevitable end of their cheaply designed life. Of course, we'll tackle this eventually - we have to if we ever want to move on from this weird intermediary half-state between nature and intellect - but it's going to be slow, slow progress.

Intuitively, I'd say we might have some very limited success in scaling up that X axis within the next 20 years, but it'll be a long time before we actually solve this issue. Which is sad, because I wanted to be around for much longer and now I most likely won't get to do that. Then again, the subject of life extension meets with so much hostility it's actually easy to argue that we as a culture are not ready for this yet.
