I feel like it's a form of opportunity cost that creates an imperials debt. Decentralization, and even more so all the motivations that lead developers down the path of decentralization, has nothing to do with making a good social network. It's like all the solar-powered cars... a cute idea, but no one ever (ever) buys a car for fuel efficiency. You buy a car to travel, to carry things. So the solar cars are cute, but they fail at everything a car is supposed to do. You can't possibly improve on something unless you start by implementing the thing.
In C++ block is often a way to ensure automatic variable destruction. This is important, because in C++ often there is important stuff going on in destructor. For example in RAII idiom.

Example:

...
...

{ //critical section
QMutexLocker locksInConstructorAndUnlocksInDestructor(&mutex);
a = doStuff(a,b,c);
b = doOtherStuff(a,b,c);
c = andAnother(a,b,c);

}

..
..

It would be overkill to make this block a function, especially when code in critical section changes many variables.
To me, that's not "bootstrapping" -- that's "founders funds."
Bootstrapping, to make sense, means that you go cash flow neutral ASAP and then grow the business organically.

Multicore does nothing for raw io rate, but they're using compression, and the claim seems to be that they can use higher compression levels and still be faster than an SSD (so that decompression throughput won't be a bottleneck).
The only real server-side web language is PHP (and Microsoft's ASP). Sure, you can do a decent job with Python or Ruby, plus some wacky hack of a templating language (there's a wide range, but they have never gotten the care and affection that a fully blow language would get), but PHP is really king of the hill for web work.

I think that PHP could be replaced by something just as specific, and without the warts. You could also look into typing and compilation (optional static typing, with implicit declarations where possible?).

Now, I don't use PHP, but you have to admit it's useful and productive for a lot of people. If Google can improve it, and I think it can, it would be a boon.

That said, every time I try to guess what the implications of Google's next big thing is, I'm completely off track. I think a PHP replacement would be the most useful thing they can do in this space, but they will no doubt have a different plan.
I guess that hints at why they've gotten so much tighter on indie client developers.

I completely agree. Twitter's motto of simplifying their current product definitely steepens the hill to justify their value. But then again, the whole concept behind Twitter is a simple microblogging service. Very hard to monetize this unless they expand...

Quote: “We’re thinking about how we can simplify the product even further. That’s what makes it different. [We're looking] for what can we ‘edit’ out.” He said. “These other products are adding services and we are trying to simplify ours down.” [1]

Twitter's value is going to stem from using that huge amount of data (yes, including where you had lunch) to power analysis for things like sentiment. I really think the "sponsored tweet" crap rdilutes their true value because it deputes the natural conversations that are critical for the validity of that analysis.

It looks like you are doing a simple frequency analysis to determine words for titles. In some cases it works, in others it reduces to just brand names. The Linux tab is filled with "Linux" for example.

Perhaps you need a learning filter that catches words that are too common and filters them out.

This is the kind of worthless comment I hoped would never become commonplace on Hacker News. There's no argument here. There's no point. It's just an snide jab with an information content of zero. If you disagree with the article, say specifically why. If you agree, say specifically why.

Funny these games make you realize how good the mouse and the surface beneath it and the height and so on needs to be...
Really like it and in an interesting space. Social filtering (i.e. Twitter as RSS) works for news sometimes, but it leads to filter bubbles.

Worth thinking about how this could even power 'slower' news (a.k.a. Economist-style) by utilizing the algorithm to find out 'what' is important over a period of time and then later finding the best writing about the topic and highlighting that.

From the link I posted here -- http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2977066:
The patent reform bill of 2007, which the current bill closely resembles[citation needed], was analyzed by the Deputy Director of IP division of Beijing High People's Court, Senior Judge, and he found that that the bill "... is friendlier to the infringers than to the patentees in general as it will make the patent less reliable, easier to be challenged and cheaper to be infringed. It is not bad news for developing countries which have fewer patents. Many of the Chinese companies are not patent owners in the U.S. market and their products are often excluded from the market because of patent infringement accusations. This bill will give the companies from developing countries more freedom and ﬂexibility to challenge the relative US patent for doing business in US and make it less costly to infringe."
It sounds like the information density of a given syllable is decided subjectively. The subjective measurements are probably not proportional. It makes sense - Imagine if you're tasked with giving a numerical value for how much information is in a sentence. Working through the sentence syllable by syllable and picking an arbitrary 'information score' of each syllable, then adding the information scores together won't get you a particularly good result.

The conclusion of the article (that all languages transmit data at the same rate) is supported by the research, but not proved by it. I suspect that if you read the paper, the researchers wouldn't make it sound so conclusive.
I know what you mean by sense of entitlement, that sort of thing annoys me too. But in this case I don't think the person was displaying a sense of entitlement. Just opining that people will, in fact, vote with their feet, and that it's going to hurt Twitter a lot.

It could be your browser blocking sequential alerts or some strange caching issue.
I'd bet against you, but I don't think your definition of "gain significant traction" is reasonable.

It's pretty easy for a network to get 1 million sign-ups, and then it's pretty easy to get 1 million people to pipe their Twitter status's into it. See Identica etc.

That doesn't mean is has significant adoption as a social network - it's really just a Twitter client.

I agree that there will be many social networks, but I don't think there is much reason for them to interoperate.

Take a listen to Eric Ries talk about his experience building an interoperable IM client[1].

He built the whole thing, then showed it to heavy IM users and they were (paraphrasing) "err.. why would I want that? I already run 6 IM clients, running another isn't a problem. And I don't want the same people to see me on each one"

We already have an interoperable, distributed social network for messaging purposes. It's called email. I doubt another one is needed. (OTOH, I did build a Pubsubhub powered demo of one back in the FriendFeed days. The technology was cool...)

I have worked for Infosys in the past. Now, following the path advocated by PG :-)

I mean that for the IT services Industry in India, Infosys has set a benchmark - Most respected company; Billions of dollars in revenue;great set of leaders who started it. So I meant that in the product space also, there should be Infosys quality companies in India. Or the Googles, Amazons, Yahoos of India, if you will.

I hope people with the spirit of an NRN Murthy, will start lots of product companies over here.
I hope that these promoted tweets don't cause background notifications on my phone. The second my phone vibrates to tell me that I just received an ad, is the second I stop using twitter.

Which is a shame as I really like twitter as a concept and, honestly, I think I would pay for not having to deal with this advertising crap. Careful selection of whom I follow really has made my twitter feed to be one of the few ad-free places on the web where 80% of the content is interesting to me.

This is the highest rate in years (in the beginning, Usenet was better, but that was more than a decade ago). Don't take this away from me.

广州打折信息
Yes I did. And all I needed from it was the fact that we are switching from first to invent from first to file(IMHO the rest was partisan fluff trying to positively frame the legislation)and the fact is that this will allow the Nathan Myhrvold's and Lodsys trolls of the world to file a tsunami of vague conceptual patents with no intent of using them to create products. They will wait for a real innovator to "infringe" on them and then seek damages. I absolutely guarantee that if and or when this bill is signed into law that there will be entire departments of tech corporations that will do nothing but think up ideas, patent them and wait. As I have said, first to invent was the single biggest stop gap keeping the small, independent inventor in the game. As an example, do you really think that Robert Kearns[1] could have possibly fought Ford Motor CO without first to invent? First to invent is what has set America aside and now that it's effectively destroyed I genuinely believe that the small, independent inventor(the backbone of american innovation from Eli Whitney, to Larry and Sergei) will be put out of business. And that will negatively impact American innovation. Downvote me if you must, but I speak the truth. This "reform" means the death of the independent American inventor.

[1]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Kearns

EDIT: I mixed up the terms on my first post. My bad. I still feel the switch to first to file will decimate the small, independent inventor.
That's pretty neat. Most Lion users I know have been complaining about poor boot times. My own machine takes 45-50 seconds to boot. I don't have a SSD, but in the Leopard days it used to boot from this same hard disk in about 20 seconds.

Lion has also cut battery life in half for a minority of users, and my own machine refused to go to sleep until -- get this -- I turned off Internet Sharing in the Sharing preferences.

I'm happy to pay my taxes, personally I don't think there is a much better use of my money than improving the lives of the people in this country, or any country for that matter (once my basic needs are met, of course). Putting people to work is just an awesome side effect of improving our infrastructure and schools. If there is wasteful spending in the government, identify it, and get rid of it. There's no need to maintain some religious faith against ever raising taxes for anybody though. I mean look at today's tax rates compared to the early 80s: http://www.taxfoundation.org/files/fed_individual_rate_histo... [PDF]

It will be interesting to see if the Republicans are willing to compromise on increasing revenue, and the Democrats on entitlement programs, in order to meet the goal Obama has set for the deficit reductions, which is what will ultimately determine if The American Jobs Act will come to fruition.

There are 3 other comments in this thread so far. Care to explain how mine differs from them?

If you disagree with the article, say specifically why. If you agree, say specifically why.

My succinct point was that the US federal government has given literally trillions of dollars to US banking institutions, while giving little to nothing to people who create jobs. Giving a bit of funding to entrepreneurs is maybe a step in the right direction for a change.
We plan to do consulting projects in the same market, adjacent to our product, hope to get more market insight and visibility.

Will be like dools says - consult X days to increase runway by Y days on product. Ideally Y>X.
er... hasn't the US just gained first to file?

This bug isn't showing the usual generated source but some kind of hybrid between original source and generated source.

- To see the original source, hit ctrl-u before dismissing the alert.

- To see the "hybrid" source, hit ctrl-u after dismissing the alert. I always expected this to be idential to what the webserver sent, just syntax highlighted. (Though I haven't messed around with document.close before.)

- To see the generated source, hit ctrl-a, right click & "View Selection Source". This is different to the original/hybrid source as Firefox inserts html tags to make the page valid. My example had no html, head, title or body tags. This should reflect the current page DOM, as affected by any JavaScript.
I think wavephorm makes a valid point. The government has been giving huge sums to the banking industry to bail it out, a fact. And a tiny fraction of that to entrepreneurs, also a fact.

If the US had more startup-friendly policies, you could imaging a $100B fund, still 1/40th of the banking industry bailout, that could have a huge positive effect.

Being aware of the disparity is the first step toward correcting it.

In a way, I kind of wished they had linked to something a little more relevant with the Kickstarter link. There was some strong talk about transportation infrastructure and technology leading that in the president's speech tonight

I realize it's reaching, but I think maybe using the revolights project page to suggestively highlight transportation/infrastructure is an important theme as a part of the Jobs Bill.

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/revolights/revolights-jo...
He did say why he disagreed--because the amount of this program is minuscule compared to the amount spent on bank bailouts. You can disagree with him, but that sounds like a perfectly valid point to me.
Well, it's not _just_ a social science. There's still plenty of interesting work to do with 1's and 0's and proofs. But even in "hard CS" areas like programming languages, the social since aspects are pretty significant. What influences the success of new languages and evolutions of existing ones? Why haven't some obviously good featuers like pre- and post-conditions and invariants been better integrated by most mainstream languages? How to make functional programming accessible to a lot more people?
But all that exists today with sleep mode, yet apparently a large number of people don't use it.
