This is a pretty good list. I would also recommend running your ads for some time to see when the most productive traffic is and then dayparting to allow you to have higher bids when you can catch the biggest fish...
That's probably part of it, but if you're a good developer language shouldn't matter that much. I'd put you in at least 60k range.

Insert obligatory Yakov Smirnoff joke here:
your post is wrong in its claim that all civilizations have used gold as currency. In fact most civilizations until recently didnt really have an official currency. Furthermore, raw materials such as food were far more commonly traded. Taxes, until recently, were collected in raw goods.

Im not really sure why you want to go back to the gold standard so badly. Do you realize that the reason technologies like the internet have grown so fast is because we have a fiat currency? This allows people, especially small and new businesses, to borrow effectively.
Thanks for the additional tip!

One Course Source Announces New Online Classes
Have you been wanting to learn Linux or UNIX, but couldn't afford the high cost of the classes? Typical costs for these classes can be from $3,000-$3,500 for one week of training, making the cost to attend these classes too high for most individuals and companies.

In addition, availability is an issue as classes are typically not always held in your area. This often results in you having to wait for a class to be held in your area or you having to pay additional travel costs. It isn't unusual to pay up to $2,500 in travel costs just to get to the city where your class is being held! Imagine having to pay a total of $7,000 just to attend a Linux or UNIX class.

One Course Source has just announced a solution with a special offer of $995 for their week-long Linux and UNIX classes. The standard cost of their classes was already a low $1,900. With this new price, the training is even more affordable. You can now take three or four One Course Source classes for the cost of just one class with another training vendor! You can sign up here: http://www.OneCourseSource.com/Discount

Choose from a variety of class levels, from beginner to advance. All classes are conducted by a highly qualified One Course Source instructor. Their instructors have many years of training experience as well as a great deal of hands on experience.

One Course Source's Linux classes are also designed to help individuals become certified. Students learn the topics they need to know in order to pass Linux certification exams as well as developing skills necessary to utilize Linux in the IT industry.

In addition to providing these special rates on their San Diego-based classes, One Course Source has just announced new, online training! These online classes can be taken from your home or office, anywhere in the world. The classes are instructor-led, just like the classroom-based classes. Students world-wide can now take these classes and learn Linux or UNIX without having to travel or incur the additional expense of travel.

In addition to the Linux and UNIX classes, One Course Source has also discounted their Perl and BASH classes. Perl is an excellent language for parsing data from text files while BASH has long been used by system administrators to automate repetitive tasks. Combining Perl and/or BASH knowledge with Linux and/or UNIX experience will make you more marketable in the IT industry.

There is a limited time for these discounted rates from One Course Source. The discounted rate will no longer be available after September 15, 2011. Additionally, only five students per class can sign up using this discounted rate. This means that the sooner you sign up for a class, the better the chance is that you will get this discounted rate. To sign up for these classes, go to http://www.OneCourseSource.com/Discount

That's the point of Groupons: to buy first customer visits with below-cost products, instead of throwing money away in newspaper ads.

He's not saying selling below cost is a discredited tactic. He's saying it's a discredited strategy. He's not saying selling below cost means there's no market. He's saying it doesn't tell you what the market is.

If you're selling cupcakes, you need to go to Groupon knowing your cupcakes are good enough, and that there's sufficient demand, to clear in the market. Then it makes sense to spend resources to promote your business so that people are aware of your cupcakes.

Groupon might be a pretty good illustration of the perils of confusing awareness marketing with demand generation.

PHP 5.3.8 Released
I agree, unless someone can point to anything Apple has ripped out or deactivated in WebKit. Apple seems to have been pretty open with Mobile Safari.

The most closed thing I can think of is when they only enabled their faster JS engine for the browser itself and not for apps. The next major release changed that, and it is not related to WebKit itself.

The biggest difference: The second derivative of quadratic growth (the change in the rate of change) is constant. While any derivative of exponential growth stays exponential.

For quadratic growth, think naive sorting like bubble sort. For exponential growth, think bogosort.

Technically: If you use Big-O notation, then indeed O(x^2) \subset O(a^x). But also O(x) \subset O(x^2) \subset O(a^x).

You're forgetting SIM cards which contain contact information. People want to be able to start their phone app and have contacts already there. Then they can link to Google or Yahoo or whatever else to import more.

Also remember that this isn't just part of B2G. This is functionality that will be rolled into Fennec. So when you open your contacts web app in Fennec on Android you should have the same contacts that the native contacts app has.
And if you have multiple competent people, and are growing, you might as well hire both.

- I don't read Clojure very well, so the syntax is my best guess, and will be for any other people who aren't Clojurists. In particular, what do COMMENT and DERIVE do? And, is MATCH a Clojure primitive?

- What exactly are you doing that's object oriented? You've changed the type, which causes a cascade of changes relating to analysis.

I'm sorry, but I must have the stupid this morning, because I don't think I am getting what you are doing. :(
Yes, that's possible with the right compiler extensions. For this example it's essentially the same thing as giving the type on its own line, so I chose the more common syntax.

I didn't see anything in that forum post from Google about improving or adding anything. I just saw a link to the already awful contact form and a message basically telling me to stay out.

I went to this forum every day to gauge whether I was the only one experiencing a problem or not.

Was I the only one seeing the "Just In" category missing?

Was the Market not loading for everyone else?

Did anyone else not get their full payout this month?

Is anyone else unable to upload to the Dev console?

Is everyone seeing the "authorization" failures again?

Is the sales report missing for everyone else for July?

At least seeing others with the same problem there meant that they were telling Google, or Google was seeing the problem in the forums, and I could chime in with a "me too" post so they knew it was wide spread.

Emailing using those forms is hopeless. Canned responses come back. I don't know if anyone ever read my question.

This is one sad and frustrating move by Google.

Orchestra is building a impressive platform indeed (from a tech standpoint). But as a developer it's a black cloud day. Been hoping PHP to be fading away in favor for syntax-wise less sucky languages (there are many superior alternatives - not only the ones I work with if that is the assumption of the reader) that bloat apps out the web for the reason of cheap outsourcing. I love what EY has done through the years for open-source, though I cannot see this action as anything else than choice between money and principles. I hope EY will continue to support open-source software as they have and not forget where they came from - many do.

Congrats to Orchestra guys though, you seem to be talented.
I'm with you, I think that if the Touchpad had launched at a $99 price, it would not have flown off the shelves the way that it has these last few days. Part of the reason people are buying them is that it is their last hurrah, no Touchpads will ever be made again. There is a very real novelty factor there. On top of that, it is not just a $99 tablet, but rather a $400 savings.

Reminders Don’t Mean You’ll Remember
This is the pattern matching library described here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2864482

match is not a Clojure primitive. match is macro that is an optimizing pattern match compiler. It works on all of Clojure's data structures.

The problem is that for things which are not Clojure data structures - primitive arays and bytes - how do you pattern match those without introducing overhead? Enumerating all the possibilities is out of reach. Adding an abstraction means introducing some kind of wrapper type - ridiculous performance loss when you dealing with primitive arays and byte.

So you can derive the compilation procedure (::match.core/vector, here shortened to ::m/vector) and specify what code to put in the critical locations. Instead of subclassing objects, we're "subclassing" the compiler algorithm and saying put in this code if the match expression has annotations like ::int.

The result is that we can match arrays 30 times faster than Scala, 10 times faster than Racket. And we have bit level pattern matching a la Erlang in what ... 10 lines of code?

I'm surprised there's no mention of http://compass-style.org/ anywhere. Compass has much more of those features(variables, mixins, support for other frameworks like 960 and blueprint, css3 mixins, etc)

The comment about reinventing the CSS syntax is nullified by the not-so-new SCSS syntax by the way.

Regular blogging is trickier than you think.

For instance, I started a little hobby blog a few weeks ago. I have a hobby of collecting funny pictures, so I thought it might be fun to filter them yet again, then tag the hell out of them and post them on a blog. Who knows? Might have a lot of traffic one day. If nothing else, it'll make it personally easier for me to find my pictures. (shameless plug: http://caption-of-the-day.com)

Pretty simple, no? I already have the pictures. The tags should be pretty obvious. It's just select one, then write a tiny bit of text describing it, then post.

For some reason even this tiny amount of work quickly becomes a chore. I've started doing exactly what this author is doing: schedule the post first, then use the upcoming deadline as a motivator.
Are you sure about that? How do you know they're not just spoofing the address?
Do they mean 2x slower than CPython or 2x slower than PyPy? If they wind up with something 2x slower than current PyPy (which is much faster than CPython in many cases), that'll still be a version of Python much faster than CPython that doesn't have the limitations of the GIL and can thread across cores, and that'll be a huge win.
Why One Entrepreneur Left His Dream Job to Build a Better Sharing Platform
It's awesome that Deck.js has virtual back/forward keys for iPad. Last time I saw some html/javascript presentation on tablet there were no way to turn page.
I used it in exactly the same way.. when I saw an issue I would check for forums to see if others were experiencing the same issue. I'm not sure I would have noticed payouts being lower than they should have been without the forum, and I'm not 100% convinced Google would have either. The "known issues" page only lists a small subset of the real issues with the market. Also more often than not when they fix something, something else breaks.
Great to see another NYC startup making waves. Even better that they've got serious technology under the hood to make it all work!

Because people who wish you harm for various reasons really exist, and nobody's figured out how to tell the entire world every detail about our defensive capabilities without substantially weakening them in the process.

I'm a little-l libertarian and I'll happily join the calls for "more transparency" where appropriate, but "government should have no secrets", especially in the area of self defense, is not a realistic position. It's an abusable-but-necessary evil.

Until we have a new conceptual breakthrough, multiversion concurrency control (MVCC) [1], which STM represents in this context, is the only solution they have.

Yes it will impose a tax on all mutable data structures, and push people towards a more functional style of programming. This is generally good. It may be a challenge for people who think solely in terms of OOP, but then OOP will evolve in response, and that is also good.

thats true, but you just have to police it very, very tightly. if this service doesn't work out for me, I'll unsubscribe and filter (if I have to).
I've been looking to switch from PowerPoint (OO Impress in fact) and LaTeX beamer to something else for some time, because none of them did everything I needed:

* I like LaTeX/beamer for the declarative style. If I need a two-column layout on my slide, I just type it in and it works. If I need to reveal parts of the slide step-by-step, I just type in \pause and it works. Also, I rarely need to adjust the font sizes etc.: the defaults are just sensible, if not outright beautiful. And, also, custom themes and goodies like the progress indicators are great (see the Singapore theme).

* I like Impress for the fact that I have a fine grained control over a layout, should I need a something that goes beyond a columns/rows layout. Also, I can import and resize graphics without pain (in LaTeX it takes time). Also, I have more choice of animations, but adding them is very time consuming. Finally, I don't need to rebuild the slides after the tiniest change as with LaTeX.

The HTML/SVG/CSS/JS seemed to have a potential to offer the best of both worlds, but the scaling problem (as described above) was throwing me back. In the process I've written down a list of features for my dream presentation tool:

* beautiful typography

* flexible layout: I should be able to specify the layout declaratively (e.g. two columns and a header, or a header, block of text and a table) with the tool figuring out the rest (font sizes, margins, etc) or fine-tune it manually where I can specify the font sizes and positions of every element

* themes and widgets (progress indicators, timers, slide numbers etc)

* should be easy to embed pictures and diagrams with scriptable animations (SVG+JS seems to be ideal for it, and I've used Inkscape for a while). The animations should be: rotation, translation, resizing, showing/hiding, change of color and zooming (the latter one being the only thing that I'm missing in both LaTeX and PowerPoint/Impress).

* being able to edit the presentation on the fly. I don't want to rebuild the slides every time I fix a typo.

Great idea Kyle. How are you going to clean up spams? I like that its open but if one person decides to spam you will have lot of clean ups to do.
I agree that the value add isn't significantly high for small cluster type of situations, and I would much rather just have a caching API available that charges on usage and allows you to specify an amount of redundancy.

However, the automatic failovers is very nice. From Vogel's blog: "Amazon ElastiCache automatically detects and replaces failed Cache Nodes to protect the cluster from those failure scenarios." That is definitely nice.

Elasticache does seem to be sitting in an awkward middle ground between renting of instances and paying for usage in an API.

Edit: after thinking about it more and reading some of the comments, I think an ideal setup would be an API to a memcached like datastore with buckets so I can specify max-size, redundancy, expiration methods, etc on a per bucket basis. Even nicer setup would be all of that plus redundancy and HA across availability zones and regions.
"Asked what data Wikileaks might have, a Bank of America spokesperson told Reuters: 'We don't know what they claim to have had, and we have no comment on what they allegedly may have destroyed.'"

It's interesting how he states he doesn't know what they had, but he can't comment on what they destroyed. It's almost like he's insinuating that they have some idea what was destroyed. Domscheit-Berg seems to be using the specter of insecurity to destroy both Wikileaks reputation and now, it seems, the leaks that were supposed to be set free to the people. How the hell could deleting the leaks themselves solve any security issues? As far as is known no one has gotten in trouble for leaking to Wikileaks who has not incriminated themselves.

This guy is a tool (in the literal sense) of the highest order. From his weird smear tactic "My time with Evil Assange" stories, to his gutting Wikileaks system, to his opening up an alternative that doesn't actually give the information to the public, but allows only journalists access to it, now to this. Go after Assange's character. Sew seeds of doubt over the system's security. Take parts of it's infrastructure. Now start deleting the leaks that the people truly in Power can't let out... for the sake of security of course.

In one Q&A with Assange, I think it was the one with Amy Goodman and Slavoj Zizek, he was asked about the BofA docs and he mentioned he hadn't released them because he was being blackmailed and could not go into more detail. Maybe this was part of whatever that was all about.

The "analogue" look of genuine teletext that's often missing from emulators is caused by hardware character rounding in the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mullard_SAA5050 (see the datasheet linked from that page).

That said, I don't think that effect is being correctly emulated here either. It's just that the video has been resampled (the pixels aren't 1:1 with the original) which produces a somewhat similar effect.
How is 2 billion 2% of 24 billion? It sounds pretty significant to me.
