"Forrester recently predicted that the daily-deal market will be virtually nonexistent by 2016."

The market will be nonexistent is a conclusion overdrawn.Taking the statistical data and interpolating it might give us figures but it is really hard to believe that people's interest in saving money will be non-existent in four years.

What might happen ( what is happening presently) is there will be many more competitors in this market and it is very much unlikely that one competitor will be consistently able to secure all the good deals in the market.This might lead to market in which companies will thrive to get good deals with no significantly big success.
In this very scenario, any company which will be able to successfully integrate the great deals from all the websites like groupon,living social etc can be very much successful without many efforts needed to be put in.
This is a great video. For one, it showcases SJ's confidence in deprecating technologies for the benefit of newer and better things.

It also underscores the importance of being able to translate tech "pieces" into compelling products. I'm an app developer. When reading documentation for the latest release of iOS or Lion SDKs, and seeing all of the new APIs, I feel like a kid with a brand-new box of Legos. The challenge (and art) is in combining these technologies to build something actually catchy.
Incidentally, that's how the federal government operates. At the end of every fiscal year, if there was money left, it _had_ to be spent.

You want to make money on a book you likely created most of while supposedly doing your paid job? GFY.

All the academics I know who have written books have done so on their own time, either by taking a sabbatical, going down to part time or during evenings and vacations. Sure the university let them use their office and the university library and stuff, but they didn't directly pay them to write their book.

2. Trusting verified Javascript directly.

Verified can mean a lot of things.

It can mean it comes from a source your trust.

Or it can mean you trust it to do something that you know and only that.

Which one do you refer?

The only way to verify behavior of codes is to do source auditing yourself. Which is what our average Joes would not be able to do himself anyway, so you get back having to trust entities instead of behavior. Which in that case, we are either get back to CAs or trusting individual certs directly.
Context: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDoc#Cancellation

This guy is not necessary a troll, of course this is just speculation, but if a project he was working on for a few years got cancelled, I could pretty well understand his frustration, even if the decision to cancel turned out valid in the end from a business point of view. I don't think it is valid to stick labels on people (both on the "troll" and on Steve Jobs) without knowing the whole story.

What my peer means to say is that the Govt. spent a ton more than the TARP amount on buying what basically amounts to garbage debt - almost a pure gift. It's a less reported but much more important number. The banks, of course, like to claim that the TARP stuff was just a loan, to misdirect your eyes from the elephant in the room.

I graduated a year and a half ago and have been with my current company since then. I used to work part time as a developer during university so I've probably got closer to two years worth of software engineering in a business environment.

Whilst I would say that a lot of my day to day stuff is what most would consider bog-standard standard web development, we do get to dabble in dealing with big data, being our own sysadmins and bringing our software to other platforms i.e. there is a lot of emphasis put on learning where I currently am and researching and incorporating new technologies is always encouraged.

That's a nice thought in theory, but it leads to antisocial behaviour in practice. Punishment is necessary. The severity of punishment is up to debate, but negative reinforcement works where positive doesn't (and vice versa).

Now, as far as desire to see a shit head get punished, that's pure petty schadenfreude and I make neither excuses nor apologies for it. I don't claim to be a paragon of moral virtue. I get warm fuzzies from seeing people get deserved comeuppance. It's such a deeply ingrained part of our cultural psyche (look at every movie Disney ever made), and so universal across cultures, that I suspect it's just an integral part of human nature. We can aspire to loftier moral heights, but at the end of the day a whole lot of us get satisfaction from seeing the bad guy lose.

Not that anyone can see my posts anyway but this should be titled "An Indian AppleCare Story" for obvious reasons (if you've ever dealt with AppleCare in another country). I'm bummed the guy had a hard time getting his computer fixed, but it sounds like perhaps the AppleCare in India is less efficient than it is in the states. That's unfortunate, but it's pretty clear the OP bought from, and tried to obtain service through, a shady reseller. That's not how AppleCare works in my experience. You talk to Apple or you're wasting your time. It's a shame this headline is denigrating possibly the best customer service system yet devised for a consumer tech company under edge-case circumstances.

What a guy! First he had no gonads to stand up against his girlfriends father and fight for her and their son. Then, after almost 60 years, he has the guts to publicly hide behind PRIDE (can you imagine? of all the things: PRIDE!) by saying "Steve will have to do that, as the Syrian pride in me does not want him ever to think I am after his fortune." Last but not least, according to [1] he also left Joanna (Steve's mother) and Mona (Steve's biological sister) when Mona was 4 years old.

But you don't have to implement to scheme perfectly to get major efficiency gains. Just give everybody in the same party the same color / let them board in the same group, and swallow the minor hit that it causes on boarding times.

OK it still wouldn't work for groups who don't check in at the same time, but those would likely have seats in other parts of the plane already anyway (unless they checked in online, in which case you could group them there...)

Any ideas in helping to improve writing skills?
I really want to get better at writing. It's something I never really placed attention to or focus on during college, and now I'm really regretting it. I now recognize it as an essential skill that's much more difficult than I initially thought.

I've been thinking of ways of helping my creative writing. Obviously practice makes you better, but I wish I could contact someone qualified with a good background who can really help look over and give me very helpful critiques.

I've started a blog as well to help motivate me and increase my online presence, but too be honest I'm extremely hesitant and embarrassed to post because I'm not content with the quality of my work, and I don't feel I have good subject matter to write on.

I wanted to ask the HN community if they had any tips, advice, perspectives, or resources that might be worth looking into. I also figured I wasn't the only one who could benefit from some assistance.

Thanks!
Obviously there is fatigue in the market due to the saturation. It has become increasingly difficult to sift through lists of deals to find the one that you're truly "interested" in. It's like sitting down with a different coupon book every day and looking for the best coupon to clip out, no one has that kind of time except for the real bargain hunters.

The market will stabilize and settle down, but I highly doubt the concept of "daily deals" or "group deals" will disappear as Forrester predicts. Discounting based on bulk-buying has been around for ages, and leveraging the internet is just a small pivot.

Not to diverge too much from the topic. At JFK, the first class passengers have a priority queue through the security system as well. I flew through JFK once on a Holiday (4th of July) and TSA was so understaffed that they barely had enough staff to handle the 1st class passengers that were arriving.

So as if waiting in security lines were not enough, imagine waiting in a security line that was actually getting longer as you just sat there holding your bags watching first class after first class passenger go through and everyone else just standing there.

I just couldn't understand why the TSA would even care about the class status an airline gives to its passengers, I don't know any other airports that do this.

If you present yourself as "just another person" that's how you'll be perceived. I'm sure you can think of many ideas to make you look even cooler than you already do.

No, you are the one missing the point. It's not about mixing first class and economy, it's about how to board within those groups, or maybe about finding ways that improve efficiency while still thinking about the different classes.

I'm not sure which part of WWDC this might have been from, but long ago there used to be sessions with Q&A, feedback forums, and even sessions where you could talk to the VPs. What this guy did could even be labeled as perfectly reasonable in the right circumstances.

Nowadays of course, only the very rare session even has a 5 minute Q&A, and "Ask the VPs" went the way of Jamba Juice and Mac Pro LAN party funtimes. I was there for the butt end of Apple that cared about face-to-face group feedback at WWDC and I rather miss it. 1-on-1 in labs, dev forums, twitter, and personally knowing Apple engineers doesn't really make up for the educational/entertainment factor of putting engineers on the spot in front of a large crowd with a controversial question.
