I read an article back in the day that stated people who fidget when they sit burn significantly more calories. Forgot where I read it, though. Maybe I'm just making excuses for myself...haha.
This is ill-argued.

Between 1980 and 2000
* Exercise rates stayed the same
* Sitting time increased 8%
* Obesity doubled.

And that's it, obesity is just a factor of exercise rates and sitting time? Nothing else in the entire world?
I was surprised to find out that Facebook tracks not only what 'like' buttons you have been clicking but also where you have been browsing. Is there a privacy browser extension?
A possibly related note: I use two browsers to browse the web in an attempt to protect my privacy (as futile as it seems to be); one is logged in to google, and the other is not.

When using the browser that is logged in, I get 15 "+1"s for google like-like button. however, when using the other browser that's not logged in, I get 0 "+1"s.

Can anyone explain?
Every data point used in this infographic shows correlation between sitting all day and poor health. I'm tired of seeing this argument repeated without any attempt to analyze the causes - this infographic is just as meaningless as my original pithy remark. It's just a way to take advantage of trends (standing desks) to get web traffic.
Good work Gondor team! It is nice to see another quick deploy service launched. It looks the pricing is a little cheaper than Heroku as well, should be an interesting alternative.

Can you get at the Linux on devices like this? Could you, say, install a MythTV front end, or run Doom on it?

Just curious.
But that is all this infographic consists of--- some correlations presented as if they were causal proof, with no actual analysis of whether that's the case. It has claims like "SITTING MAKES US FAT", with no support besides a correlation (and not even a particularly strong or well-controlled correlation).

You'd think that, but actually, that's exactly what film directors do, and I think we can all agree that they are de-facto "leaders".

Film directors become directors because they go around and tell people "I'm a director putting a movie together, do you want to work with me/invest in me/help me?" not because they work hard at unrelated task X and somehow become promoted to the rank of directors.

Leadership at its best...
Just look at the closing comments in Mason's email to "employees":

"We are generating cash, not losing it — we generated $25M in cash last quarter alone, adding to the $200M we had before. In other words, we’re doing the opposite of running out of money."

Apparently, the opposite of running out of money is holding cash that you owe to others. Very sleazy, IMO.

Judging by stack traces ado.net is talking tds directly. Mono's implementation is based off freetds. Ruby has tinytds and of course existing c and c++ programmers can use the freetds library which works on Unix and Windows. The freetds community might be small but it is very active.
I do, but I rarely update it: http://nerdnomad.com (and I have http://flickr.com/photos/nerdnomad and http://twitter.com/nerdnomad which do get updated pretty regularly). Instead of blogging, I've mostly decided to write a novel instead, so I'm working on a semi-autobiographical zombie survival road novel. I'm about 36,000 words in (that's about 50 pages, I think).

With the blog I began to find it difficult to think of things I do from day to day as out of the ordinary and worth blogging about. I know it all seems strange to folks who've never done it...but, to me, it's just another day and seems unworthy of writing about. I may give it another shot eventually. I'm in Detroit right now, which is pretty interesting and is probably worth blogging about.
Under this recent HN post http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2917761 is a discussion about how CBS is not supposed to be able to do that. Comments begin here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2918834

Historically, the Star Trek copyrights haven't been enforced very strongly. It's why they allowed so many fan projects to go ahead (and Star Trek has a great fan base). Maybe CBS got new lawyers who aren't familiar with 40 years of de facto policies?

(This isn't a trademark issue where CBS has to defend the trademark or risk losing it. It's a copyright issue; the reason the Tricorder app vanished is that CBS sent a DMCA takedown notice to its creator [Moonblink]).

Here's the full quote from the memo:

P.S.: I almost forgot to address the nonsense about us running out of money in the article above. If you apply the same logic used in the article, you’d have concluded long ago that companies like Amazon and Wal-Mart were running out of cash too. Both have often had payables far in excess of their cash. Finance geeks call this a working capital deficit. It’s normal, manageable and a lot of folks actually believe it’s good thing and would kill to get paid from their customers long before they have to pay their suppliers. We are generating cash, not losing it — we generated $25M in cash last quarter alone, adding to the $200M we had before. In other words, we’re doing the opposite of running out of money.

In that light I don't believe either of us is qualified to assess the sleaziness of their cash flow management.

On top of what Linode offers (which, in Gondor's case is provided by Rackspace Cloud Servers) Gondor is fully managed with an automated provisioning and deployment platform. It's really another layer on top of what a VPS provider is doing.
At my company, I develop on a Linux system for a Linux system, using Linux servers to store source code.

We use jsTestDriver at Picklive to test our game, alongside Sinon.js for a mock implementation of our game server. It's very easy to test simultaneously on multiple browsers, run tests on the command line, and we run it headless for continuous integration.

In comparison with Selenium, I've found unit and integration tests using this setup fast and resilient.
Another alternative is to set up a Limited Liability Company (an LLC). An LLC is simpler and usually less expensive to set up than a corporation, and provides most of the same kinds of liability protection. However, if you expect that your side project may grow into a really large business, or if you ever plan to seek outside investment, a corporation would probably be a better choice.
Technology As A Material
It absolutely is, but "in active development" is to me another word for useless. SproutCore has been in production as MobileMe for three years and it still has difficult bugs. Let's see some source code, or implementation details - something worth talking about. All the page has right now are pretty words and broken demos.

And FWIW an implementation in nodejs isn't useful to most people. It's a cool proof of concept, but since nodejs isn't an everyday environment for web development, popularity will come by way of a clone in ruby or python.

Seriously? You're discounting this because she only created Flickr? (And Hunch, and whatever she's working on now?)

I was working on my own startup at the same time Flickr was created; the funding climate then was brutal. Flickr was expensive to run, and growing like crazy. This was before things like AWS, so scaling was much harder. Selling to a large company with the ability to scale it easily may have been their only option. So I doubt it was a matter of cashing out.
Does it make me vindictive to want to see most of these sites never "recover?" This basically reads like a list of sites that, up through the "panda" update, I would mistakenly click on, get pissed off, and go back looking for a REAL result.

Many of these sites were basically duping people into giving them ad impressions with thin, stale (and sometimes stolen) content and making people's lives more difficult. Kudos to Google for the first time in many years making a solid stand against obvious gaming of their search results.
No, I'm pretty sure I'm with you. One person 'checks out' a file to edit and the rest of the people see it as locked.

But I remember conflicts when working with that style of locking. The biggest was people forgetting to check their work in before leaving and kept anyone else from using it, but also people not checking the permissions before editing, and people who didn't have the lock editing it anyways knowingly because they had to fix a bug and didn't have time to do it right.

If we were using a dvcs (and no locking mechanism) we'd have been using our communication tool (then just email and calendaring) more and posting things like "I'm going to fix bug #... - this is going to require a rearchitecting foo.c and touching all of foo_*.c and all accompanying headers". This way it's not preventing someone from working on things, it's warning them of potential conflicts that would have to be merged.

As long as these conflicts seem small people are welcome to keep developing next to me. There's no reason to use a giant lock on a whole file. But also, this schedules my intent in a semantic way - people can see it and say "Whoa, you'll need to break bar.c as well and Dave's doing delicate work there." whereas if I'd just locked files nobody would have known to warn me and I'd have gotten half-way to a working change to be stalled by Dave's project. Worse, Dave would probably have needed my files to finish his work leading to a nasty conflict.
For Firefox, RequestPolicy adds a whitelist for requests to third-party websites. It's a hassle to set up, but it works. I don't know if an equivalent exists for Chrome.
Dental care isn't cheap, but a non-surgical extraction is one of the cheapest things you can do. It'd probably make sense for the hospital to pay for it instead of getting stuck with their ER bill.

(My brother and I have been self-employed for years, and we both just self-insure for dental and visit the dentist for regular checkups. If you have good teeth, it seems to be cheaper than buying dental insurance even if you have to pay for a $1200 procedure once a decade. But, see, we are willing and able to pay that when it happens; a guy who can't afford a $100 extraction cannot, let alone regular exams!)

What I really don't understand is why the body doesn't auto-extract these teeth. I mean, it seems like it would be in the genetic interest for that to happen.

You probably know something about certificates I don't, but as I understand the code that handles this stuff, your certificate either has CA=YES or CA=NO in its basicConstraints; if it's CA=YES, you're a CA full stop.

It's the combination of having that bit -- err, DER boolean -- set and chaining to browser root cert that makes you a CA.

There isn't a provision in the scheme for them to do less than be able to sign Google, which is why the CA system is so brittle and broken.

What is the bank setup that you're thinking about? I didn't think that BankOfAmerica.com could sign its own certs for CNs under BankOfAmerica.com. Our customers include large banks and they bitch about having to work with Verisign just like everyone else.
You're forgetting most of the enterprise software market and a significant portion (15%) of all web servers in the world. Why do we always have to be so adversarial when it comes to choice of software? The Microsoft stack works great in the areas where is is popular, and the .NET library and the related development tools are excellent.
Does anybody know how this affects ado.net? Would it make it slower / faster / no change? Would we have to change any of the code? Any features gained / lost? Thanks.
Facebook, google, all these other giant technology firms... They will be looked back on in the future as ruthless opportunists doing their best to take advantage of the public with technology before anyone can figure out what they're doing and stop them.

"And the fact that the cops themselves didn't go inside shows me that they knew what they were doing was questionable."

EXACTLY! Have you ever, ever known the cops to back off from doing something, and let a civilian handle it? In my few observations of such situations, I've always seen the cops take charge, and shoo the civilians away. For them to just stand at the boundary line and watch the Apple goons go in and search, to me, is clear evidence that the cops knew fully well what they were doing.
I love how chacha.com is the first one on that list. Of course they're doing worse, that was the entire point. Nobody wants to find results from some random person spewing out whatever answers they feel like.
> Just because lots more folks know about valuations and are connected does not mean that they are not building stuff.

It's not necessarily so, but there's some correlation. Startups are fashionable now in a way they haven't been since Bubble 1.0. At meetups I definitely have talked with people who seem more interested in worldly success than raw creation.

The upside of this current wave is that startup costs are so low that it's also sucking in a lot of makers who otherwise would have ended up employees.
I don't believe standing still while working is the best alternative. I think it's better to get up and move every half hour, even for just a 30 second break. Drinking lots of water to encourage restroom breaks is a good way to make it a habit. Also, choose exercises daily that have a variety of movements and avoid too much repetition.
That is neat. Thanks for sharing.

He granted what he assumed were the SFPD to enter his house.

And just because he doesn't know the law, it does NOT mean that it doesn't apply to him. The laws still apply. The cops knew that they had absolutely no evidence or reason to search his house; which is why they wisely stayed outside. But they also knew that they had created a false impression that the Apple goons were also SFPD, which allowed them to enter the guy's house.

As far as the value is concerned: so what? If I put a value of $1000000 on my Bic pen, does that mean I'm allowed to break the laws in finding out who took it?? If it really was that valuable, then what the heck was an Apple employee doing with it getting drunk in a sleazy bar? Will the Apple employee be docked $100,000 from his paycheck if the phone is not found? Get real!

My point stands on it's own two feet. I never said Groupon was engaged in fraud.

I was responding to the parent comment's proposition that criminal behavior is irrelevant to pre-IPO activity. Fraud is a criminal offense, and fraud is defined as "an intentional deception made for personal gain". The point is: Fraud is always a course of action available to the SEC, FTC and AGs.

I especially connected with the bit about "fear of missing out", and with her earlier post (linked in the article) on that subject.

When I started playing with computers in elementary and middle school, it helped me put aside some of the trivial things that were important to my peer group at the time, like wearing the right brands or being seen with the right people. Technology was about making a better world, sharpening useful skills, and attacking hard problems that used to be impossible to solve.

The connection between people that technology has brought over the last couple decades is awesome for a great many reasons. I doubt I need to defend that point.

The biggest downside though, for me, is the invasion of the messiness of the social world into the idealism of the tech world. It bothers me when I go to an event that is ostensibly a "hackathon" or some similarly maker-oriented affair, and the mood is not unlike high school, or hollywood, or a nightclub. Many of the people there are paying acute attention to signals of status from others, and working on sending the right signals of status themselves.

It is my impression that motivations like elevating one's social status, and fear of missing out, are the primary things bringing most people into the world of technology today.

Improving the world, solving hard problems, and making things seem to be lower on the list. I'm sure communities focusing on these things are still thriving, but they seem to be getting harder to find, because the status seekers can be pretty good at adopting the lingo of the idealists.
Oh please. Use a little common sense next time you post. Anyone who attends, what sixth grade, knows there are some rights you can't give up and my comment was merely an attempt to avoid some tired lengthy discussion of that.
