Is it really the women who are avoiding marriage?

Do this experiment: go to a newspaper stand and look for magazines about weddings. Look for books about marriage. I have never ever seen one addressed to men (there are ones which seem to be, but on a quick glance I actually think they were written to feed the women's ego), which means IMHO that men wouldn't spend money on subjects like these. Meanwhile you sholdn't be surprised to find at least half a dozen for women. So I really really doubt that men are more willing to marry EITHER.

I would actually dare to say that men were (and still are) the ones who don't really care about marriage.

A few months ago HP acquired Vertica (http://www.vertica.com/resources/videos/), which was founded by Mike Stonebraker (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Stonebraker), the inventor of PostgreSQL. Vertica is the real-time big data analytics system that Zynga is using -- it looks like HP is planning on making a push into that space.
While we're on the subject...

An American woman visiting Berlin - intent on hearing Bismarck speak - obtained two tickets for the Reichstag visitors' gallery and enlisted an interpreter to accompany her.

Soon after their arrival, Bismarck rose and began to speak. The interpreter, however, simply sat listening with intense concentration. The woman, anxious for him to begin translating, nudged and budged him, to no avail.

Finally, unable to control herself any longer, the woman burst out: "What is he saying!?" "Patience, madam," the interpreter replied. "I am waiting for the verb."
We buy from the wholesale fruit and vegetable market in our area. Being in the scheme means once every few weeks you have to go to the wholesale markets at 6am and buy from a list. Then it is bought to a central location and distributed into boxes that people come to pick up. It actually takes less time then everybody doing their own shopping.

As for people getting what they want, people can put in requests for certain grains/fruits/vegetables. But most people don't mind what comes anymore, since we are no longer penny pinching, a huge variety of stuff comes with every delivery sufficient to make a wide variety of meals. Where I live, everybody does their own cooking, which I hear is different to North America. (I live in Sydney, groceries are actually more expensive here than the US and $30 AU > $30 US, so don't think this won't work where you live.)

Also, when I say I eat for a week for $30, that is not entirely correct. I live with 4 other people. We all eat for a week for $30.

So now I buy the nice Bourbon.

If anybody lives around Surry Hills, Sydney and is so inclined, message me and you can join. I have been thinking about how to expand it with minimum effort. It'd be really interesting to have some hackers involved.
What?! I'm so against this-- I think that my first understanding of the internet really came from looking at url structures as I surfed. It made me realize where I could explore, what subsections I could change to get different results. Sure, it's meaningless to the general populace, but it's still a good feature. Additionally, if there wasn't a url bar then it might be harder to detect phishing.
I suggest you extrapolate just a tad more next time. I may have a good guess at what you are saying, but that doesn't mean you don't need to say it.
If Apple had just announced they were going to stop making computers and were discounting the rest of their stock by 80%, you'd see a lot of people buying them to install Windows on.
developers have long had tons of libraries that we could access and use almost as a jigsaw puzzle, whereas the equivalent for design never really existed until recently.
tl;dr: Groupon reports $100 in revs with 50% margins. Should report $50 in revs with 100% margins.
This is one of those things teetering on the edge of "public knowledge". I have never met a single person who believes women receive the short end of the stick in divorce. In fact the only complaint from the women's end of things I've ever heard is '50% of his income is not enough'.

It is of course anecdotal, but as best I can tell, it is anecdotal evidence that is shared by every person in America- aka, 'public knowledge'.
What is the deal with companies who have dominated the mobile sector, Palm, Nokia, Microsoft, just losing focus, ignoring it for a while, and then letting someone else come in and start making all this money.

Will Apple and Google head down this path? Unlikely, it seems to be worth more money now than ever.

It seems like everyone these days is using she. Its perfectly acceptable english to use 'they'. For example: Once a user is signed in, they are taken... Much better imo, as the gender is meaningless in that sentence.
I see what you're saying. The analogy I would use is a numbered list in a word processor.

That got me thinking, just about every intro to programming book I've seen explains arrays with a picture. I then thought to do a Google image search for JavaScript array and found this:

http://www.webreference.com/programming/javascript/diaries/1...

Would that have helped? (I also wonder if that's a good tutorial as well.)

It seems the focus at Code Academy is on doing, which is fantastic, but more (any?) images will help get the point across faster, esp. for visual thinkers (like designers, who are the perfect audience for learning JavaScript).

I am sure you are not alone, but there are a significant number of people who enjoy trailers, possible the majority. Trailers can be more entertaining than most films they portray.

So what do you go when you see a film, come in 20 mins late?
I have a theory that I haven't found expounded before. It came from a combination of travel through 60+ countries, living and working and interacting with local people on a pretty intimate level sometimes, and study of lots of history.

It's going to be controversial and maybe even shocking, so brace yourself for a moment before reacting please.

I think peaceful societies self-destruct.

With a few notable exceptions that require a geography suitable to isolationism, long term peace has historically been achieved through your country or one of your ally's having military supremacy over the rest of your neighbors.

Obviously, diplomacy can keep the peace for long periods of time, even human lifetimes, but eventually incidents happen when there's a hothead in one government, and then that's when the military supremacy determines whether you get attacked or not.

Anyways, I've found the more a country renounces war and gets further away from it, the more birth rates go down. You get an explosion of commerce and art for ~30 to ~70 years, and then the society self-destructs.

No longer forced to confront mortality and with no externally unifying cause, people start living for luxury, pleasure, and consumption. They stop having children. Birth rates fall off.

Eventually, this destroys a country's economy, the military supremacy fades, and one of their neighbors comes in and cleans house, and the cycle begins anew.

This has happened many times through history. It's happening in Japan right now. If I became an advisor to anyone in the Japanese government, I'd advocate two things as chief priorities - (1) exceedingly good relations with China, and (2) re-militarize.

Then join the next war they can on America's or China's side. Combined with some standard messages of nationalism/strength/growth/unity, birth rates would almost certainly increase.

At the moment it is organized over an e-list, but there is definitely potential for it to be organized using a database and web front end. At the moment, people in the scheme know at least 2 other people, and it works on solidarity and trust. It requires participation from everybody, but like I said above, this participation is less overall work than if everybody went and bought their groceries themselves.

Every monday 2 people in the scheme drive to the wholesale markets at 6am, buy from a list (with requests from previous week), and return by 8am with the vegetables,fruit and grains in a central location. The material is then divided up into boxes based on size. Everybody gets the same stuff. Since there is variety, there is little waste.

The main problems are these:

1) Due to social values, we build momentum. If marriage ceases to happen and children cease to be born, 50 years from now we won't have 50 million fewer people- we'll have 1 billion fewer people, and it will take decades to reverse the trend. (made-up numbers, but I hope you take my point)

2) It's not just about protecting the species. We have a tiny bit of a Ponzi scheme going. The young support the old, and as a result graphs like this:

surprisingly enough, 'species' is both the singular and plural form of the word.

"There's only one chess champion in the world and a handful of grandmasters, by definition, and those are gonna be the ones with talent and hard work."

There are in fact over 1000 grandmasters.[1]

Originally there were just 5, but as you can see, over time the ranks of grandmasters have swelled.

Many in the chess world lament that it's too easy to attain (or even buy) a grandmaster title these days, and that it doesn't mean nearly as much these days as it used to.

I have been using UDID to track on how many physical devices my app has been installed. In part - to see if there is any piracy (a spike in new devices would certainly mean something is going on).

If Apple removes support for UDID completely, I will have no way to track this information. Generating unique ids randomly will result in new ID being created when app is deleted and then reinstalled (something that happens all the time with iPhone apps). Are there going to be other ways to create unique ID based on some hardware specs, or Apple will provide a new function call?
This is a poorly reasoned article. I will only respond to the two bolded statements but the bulk of the article is questionable:

businesses should become profitable before they become big

This is contradicted by virtually all of the big, successful internet companies. I would challenge anyone to name even one internet company that was profitable before it was big (such as Amazon, Google, Ebay, Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, etc).

Groupon's fundamental problem is that it has not yet discovered a viable business model

Groupon has discovered the most outrageously viable business model of pretty much any company formed in the past 10 years. It takes 25% of the business it facilitates. Totally unheard of in such mature markets as small business services and retail.
Thanks very much. I worked on it on pretty steadily for about a year and a half. Most of the work was figuring out what I thought would be the right order to present things and how to explain the concepts. The content itself I was already mostly familiar with, though Haskell was pretty new to me.
janees' grammar is terrible, but he's not entirely wrong. We like to think we are above 'foolish' things like being related to people, but as my grandparents have put it, my brothers will always be my brothers. That is one thing that cannot change- and somehow, that is special. Call me base, call me old-fashioned, but I have come to feel that blood ties are not as imaginary as I used to believe.
Just set the client and server defaults in my.cnf. MySQL has four places where encoding can be set: client connection, server, database, column. Setting the client and server in my.cnf covers everything.
OK, I see that it is not equivalent to a link, because it loads stuff even if you don't click it.

However, is it any worse than an off-site image, or an off-site JavaScript? Those both contact a third-party server. For instance, if I use MathJax on my site, downloaded via a script tag that points to cdn.mathjax.org, would I get in trouble in Europe?

I actually really agree with you. But- I don't think Japan can re-militarize without essentially declaring war on America. Part of the treaty we set up at the end of WWII and all.

Wait... Maybe that means the reason they are declining is because we neutered them...?

P.S. I suspect the reason your theory has not been explored much in public writings is because it has an implied support of continued military activity, funding and dominance, which is a very unpopular position in the US today. Ironically, probably because we reside exactly in the part of your described cycle corresponding with military decline!
"Facebook has a responsibility to do the right thing or loose a lot. It has executives, investors, and assets which are all exposed to lawsuits and criminal investigation."

Couldn't care less. The fact that they did this without being clear and honest about it is more than enough to completely obliterate any trust they might inherit for having much to loose. Especially since this alone should be more than enough for them to "loose a lot".

There is absolutely zero consumer protection against facebook as well.

And then you take into account that people most likely have had secret phone numbers in their contact list, what facebook did/do should be a criminal offence, especially considering they are a large corporation and exploits the inherited trust from that.

Why would they continue to do any of that? There is no money to be made. They couldn't even bother to continue to sell the devices for more than 48 days.
Samsung promises big announcement September 1st
> I don't think they can re-militarize without declaring war on America. Part of the treaty we set up at the end of WWII and all.

I think things have sufficiently changed since the 1940's that re-militarizing could happen without too much hostility, given good diplomacy with USA and China.

I actually think America would like another friendly military power in the Pacific.

It might lead to diplomatic tension, but there's like a 0% chance it'd lead to a declaration of war. They've got their hands way, way too full elsewhere.
I disagree. I think the market has truly changed. Back in the feature phone days, it really did matter whether you had an LG, Samsung, or Nokia phone. Now, not so much. You either have an iPhone, an Android phone, or a Blackberry. Nokia's done some great things in the past, but their brand alone won't be enough to cover for the weakness of the WP7 ecosystem.

Nokia's success depends far more on the strength of WP7 than does WP7's success rely upon the strength of Nokia.
I can't imagine a business scenario where [degrade gracefully] would be a legitimate requirement.

Not degrading gracefully, which rather than being a way to say you're going to support older versions or browsers without certain "advanced" or "specific" capabilities, is one way we ended up with bank, utility and government websites that only work in Internet Explorer. Most of those days are thankfully behind us, but that's mainly because IE doesn't have the market share it once did, and those browsers that do have the significant market share are now more compatible with each other. Often sites are more complicated than they need to be anyway, and if they weren't so complicated, they wouldn't need to degrade, gracefully or otherwise.
History always repeats itself. If you know about the history of ancient China, your theory makes sense to some extent. Smart rulers could have the country in his (and his offspring's) control for more than 300 years. Bad ones could merely last for 100 years.
I don't see any reason, competitive or otherwise, why it cannot at least match the basic rendering qualities of Webkit and Mozilla. It's maniacal that something like Twitter Bootstrap renders so poorly in a current version of IE.

There were two decent reasons why IE performed differently than its competitors: 1) competitive distribution of technologies such as ActiveX and 2) inability of locked down computers (ie, corporate seats) to update. But neither of these reasons hold water anymore (if they ever did).

I won't base too much too heavily on it. The idea that blacks were sub-human was once "public knowledge" because everyone had an anecdote about a black person doing something stupid.

It should be stated that:

* 'Common sense' is not necessarily common.

* 'Public knowledge' doesn't always match up to reality and can often be influenced by social biases (i.e. you may only remember the cases of a man getting the shaft in a divorce, but easily forget the ones where he makes out like a bandit).
A great point, but not very controversial. Mainstream historians often propose that the USA's late 20th century economic, technical, and military prowess was a direct result of WWII.

As far as Japan goes - IMO their population is too old to solve the problem on their own. No matter how much propaganda you feed them, 50 year old women cannot have 4 kids.

I don't think he's referring to Nokia's brand name. Personally I'm looking forward to the Nokia phones, though not holding my breath on their success.

Given the pseudo-acquisition of Nokia, MSFT has a golden opportunity here to create an end-to-end appliance the way Apple does; to make sure that they're selling a sexy package, instead of selling a sexy OS in blah hardware (i.e., all of the WP7 launch phones) or a blah OS in sexy hardware.

They can finally do the vertical integration that IMHO is sorely needed if anyone hopes to compete at Apple's level.

Buuuuut given MSFT's track record in recent years, and with the departure of some key heads (who pushed for vertically integrated "experience"-building, instead of OEM licensing), I'm not banking on it happening this way.
Sorry to "talk my book" as well - our start-up provides a personal health records system that is connecting the UK's providers where the government's master system approach has failed - but investing in IT does not suck resources from patient care, it frees them up. I noticed this as a physician having to walk around the hospital to deliver pieces of paper. So I wrote software for Palm Pilots with a peer-to-peer encrypted handover system, gave it away, and convinced each of my colleagues to buy a Palm themselves. Each of instantly saved time they could spend on patient care, and the quality and accuracy of our handovers increased.

The problem of health care integration is not just solvable, it is already being solved (we are playing our part) but many in the mainstream are still expecting a big system approach and thus missing the small pieces, loosely joined approach that allowed the internet to scale.

I wrote up a bit about how I did it here: http://kguac.com/2011/08/1-x-52-week-4-jambx-twitter-for-lyrics/. It's part of my "1x52 project" - I'm trying to do some sort of new web project every week. It could be an app, site, blog, or just a useful script - but hopefully something that at least someone gets a kick out of, or I learn something while building.
