Don't feel bad. I have to admit, I too was thinking that your project description was pretty detailed but somehow lacking, until I learned about the 1000 character limit, which "Mr. Case" forgot to mention or wasn't aware of. So I think it is really not your fault, but a shortcoming of Tinyproj, similar to the somewhat vague "timeframe" field. Considering the maturity of Tinyproj I'm confident that Kyle will iron out these wrinks.
I think you misunderstand the left position. The left does not dislike wealth or the wealthy. Karl Marx himself acknowledges the importance of capitalism generating wealth like no system before it. The left has an issue with the unjust creation of wealth. In the case of financial capital, the right and the left have a great deal in common - both right and left agree these financial methods by which people became wealthy during the housing bubble at the cost of others was unjust. The left would go a step further and say that there are some forms of productive capital that result in the unjust creation of wealth, such as businesses that are heavily reliant on manual labor for ultra low wages.

For this reason, I think #OccupyWallStreet as a movement against unjust investment of financial capital really does have the capacity to unite elements of the left and right.
The hype is indeed a little absurd. But look at it another way: Bard's paper enumerated a very potential exploit i 5 years ago .Issues with the IV were disclosed on the openssl list 3 years before that.

For the past 8 years TLS was know to be theoretically insecure and yet the fix was not widely adopted. I would have hoped we had outgrown ignoring "academic" issues with crypto systems after the debacle with non provably secure RSA signatures in SSL/the Bleichenbacher attack that necessitated OAEP in the 90s.

Maybe the security community deservers the world it lives in where this kind of hype is acceptable and productive? Certainly it could have been avoided by paying attention to these issues in the first place.

He had me until he said "If you're out of work right now there should be a significant reason why."

Really? ~10% unemployment and they need a significant reason to be out of work? That sounds like something you'd say when unemployment 2-3%, not 10%.
I think you make some good points that apply to conferences in general--at the very least, they can become a real distraction. They can be helpful for "getting your name out there" and it's possible to make some great contacts, but I suspect you can get similar results cheaper through other means.

My own experience, I've found conferences to be really draining when prospecting for sales leads--there's tons of people there but it's impossible to meet them all. From 8am to 11pm for several days, I'm running around in a suit, sweating and uncomfortable, trying to meet total strangers in order to sell them things they may or may not want. Good times :-)
This is scary. Would this also affect SSH (which uses OpenSSL) and SSL-based VPNs? Or is it specific to SSL in the browser?
I suppose I wasn't very clear, but what I was trying to say is that a lot of entrepreneurs are turning to Lean for a framework that will lead them to success. That's about as big of a misunderstanding as thinking being able to predict the weather will allow you to force a sunny day tomorrow. Eric Ries has never claimed to be able to do the latter, and I was just pointing that out. But right up there with misunderstanding #1 about Lean (i.e., "Lean means bootstrapped cheap right?") has got to be this particular misunderstanding.

What I meant by jury is still out, is that we might find that the framework suggested in The Lean Startup actually increases success rates amongst startups in addition to being a model for revealing truth. Revealing truth faster will allow startups to extend their runway and if we find that most successful businesses only require X pivots on average before they start to profitable, we very well might see startups be able to accomplish these X pivots succeed where they may have followed a more traditional launch and pray model and achieved fewer than X pivots, running out of runway.

If it sounds like I'm trying to be negative about the book, I'm not. It's fantastic and I'm absolutely suggesting everybody buy a copy :P

Everyone is bias. Even if you are an Atheist you are bias. You have a cultural bias, a sexual bias, etc etc. Your everyday experiences condition you to react to particular situations in particular ways.

Obviously sometimes people have a vested interest in the results of a study, but that's something different, and doesn't only apply to people of faith.

I didn't attend, but I did watch some webcasts. The moderator (Paul Carr?) was terribly unprepared and appeared unprofessional. He mis-pronounced company names, derided sponsors and, on a couple of occasions, introduced presenting startups with "I have no idea what their product is, but here is XYZ". As a viewer, it appeared disrespectful so I can only imagine how it would be if I was presenting or was a sponsor - not because I cannot condone unprofessionalism, but because there are other more effective ways I could use my time and money.

From far away, and I might be wrong, TC Disrupt feels like an old-boys-club gathering where startups are the entertainment.

But then Monday rolls around and it's back to work. Plus the audience wasn't that appealing. If there were more middle class people mixed in the protest than it might have broader appeal, if there was even a few that represented the group, clean shaven and able to eloquently speak that would go a long way.

From the outside it just looks like a bunch of hippies.
This isn't ironic, it's completely expected. The people most effected can't afford to come out to something like this. Their boss (or bosses for those that work multiple jobs) aren't going to give them any more time off than they must. If they even heard that an employee went to something like this they would fire them for sure.

Not paying the bills you have already run up or reneging on existing legal obligations is definitely the loony way of cutting government spending.

If you rent a large house, the way to cut spending is not to stop paying your rent or threatening your wife so she doesn't pay the rent or stop feeding your kids.

As a developer, I love writing code and solving problems. I spend my Friday nights writing code. I routinely pull all nighters writing code. Did I mention I love writing code?

I am going solo on my current project, so I'm having to do all the non-tech stuff (marketing, financing, sales, operations, customer support). I like doing it, but I'd rather not. My time is much better spent solving technical problems.

The non-tech stuff is equally hard and equally important. I might not be the best BizDev guy, but I'm definitely not going to trust it to just anybody.

Based on my experience, you have to be the best BizDev person I've ever met. That's actually not that high of a bar; most "BizDev" folks have no idea what hustle looks like.

Here's how I'd define that...

1) How well defined is your product? How have you evaluated the product/market fit? If you aren't regularly engaging with customers, you haven't even started yet. I want to see significant customer-facing interaction on a regular basis.

2) How well have you thought out the marketing plan? What distribution channels have you identified? Have you created marketing collateral for those channels yet? If not, get busy.

3) Where's your business plan? Don't laugh; I'm serious. Anybody that scoffs at a business plan is a fool (and they've probably never done one before, which is a very bad sign). It's a litmus test that shows you have gone through the business planning process. And it's actually quite informative for me to better understand how thoroughly you have thought through your idea.

4) Show me your financial projections. These had better be rock solid. If my accountant laughs when reading your financials, not good.

5) Tell me where you personally want to be in 3 years. What are your life goals, your financial goals, etc?

6) Show me your mock-ups, prototypes, wireframes, etc. You should already have these (sourced via crowdsourcing/outsourcing) and are actively iterating them as part of your conversation with customers.

7) You should have spent at least $5k of your own money on this project. I don't care what you spent it on (conference fees, outsourcing, travel, etc). I want to see you with some skin in the game.

I think that's a reasonable first draft list of things I'm looking for in a BizDev person. I'll add more as I think of them.

Does that help?

Crit-bit trees are great but they're not silver-bullet: like every tree structure, even in the lucky case a search can cause O(log n) cache misses, while a good hash table needs just one or two.

Also, as pointed out in another comment, it is not necessarily balanced (like red-black trees) and there are some real-world datasets where crit-bit (or Patricia) trees behave poorly, for example URLs. I myself have seen Patricia trees with height greater than 100, for sets of URLs where log n ~ 30. According to VTune, most time in searches was spent in cache misses.
Trouble is, without accounts, how can I tell who the originator of a conference is? My goal is to keep the UX as brutally simple as possible. I'm really against having payments get in the way of using the product in ANY way since I feel that this is a problem that needs to be insanely simple and easy since conference calls are always a pain in the ass for some reason.
I couldn't find any benchmarks on the web to substantiate the speed claims.

Still, it's a cool data structure, and I respect djb enough to trust that it's at least competitive with hash tables; I'll consider it when I want more operations than offered by a hash table (especially for a set that's very sparse compared to key length).

I have come to the conclusion that nearly every conference provides little to no value to you if you pay. Having done the SXSW floor and demoed at DEMO.. if you pay.. it's not worth it (if you're B2C... B2B works if you target startups)

Samsung to Make Bada Platform Open Source
I like TC, but for the past few years it seems to have lost focus. Ever since Arrington made a giant stink about the CrunchPad in 2009 the site has really introverted, wasting time talking about themselves rather than focusing on new startups and what's on the horizon. It's more like a forum with overbearing moderators rather than a "blog about technology start-ups".

I still read TechCrunch a few times a week but you have to wade through a lot of garbage to get to the good stuff. Slashdot I visit several times a day.
Got the book pre-launch thanks to Flashpoint[1] and read it cover to cover. It crystallized a lot of "gut instincts" I had had into a complete, coherent set of tools and answered many many questions we had spent hours pondering as a team.

Get it and read it, it's worth the time.

What is the goal of startups attending these sorts of conferences (e.g., Disrupt, Demo, Launch)?

It seems like the answers could be publicity, funding, sales, networking, or hype. Publicity doesn't make much sense because articles only usually discuss a few of the (hundreds of?) startups. Funding doesn't make sense because if you're unfunded, why spend money to go to an expensive conference? Sales doesn't make much sense because it's not a specific conference for the specific industry of the startup. (Unless the startup sells services or software to other startups.) For similar reasons, it's not clear to me why it is useful to network with other startups from arbitrary other areas. (Incubators and advisors seem like they would give much better advice than other startups, for example.) Is the goal just to get the startup's name in a list so that investors think things are going well (hype)?

Whenever one of these things happens, it feels like I'm missing out on something by not being part of it. But on the other hand, I really don't understand what the purpose is supposed to be. What are the supposed benefits, and are there actual benefits?

The article puts forward a tree as a better alternative to hashtables:

"I have become convinced that this strategy should change. The revised strategy is much simpler: there should be one fundamental set-storage type, namely a crit-bit tree. Here's how a crit-bit tree stacks up against the competition:

* A hash table supports insertion, deletion, and exact searches. A crit-bit tree supports insertion, deletion, exact searches, and ordered operations such as finding the minimum. Another advantage is that a crit-bit tree guarantees good performance: it doesn't have any tricky slowdowns for unusual (or malicious) data."

Oh, what's the big-O of a lookup in a tree vs lookup in a hash-table again? O(lg N) vs O(1) with bad locality of reference to boot, you say?

you didn't miss much at all; just rambling conjecture

tl;dr - iPhone5 hasn't shipped yet, so it's obviously been delayed and delayed again, and Apple's legal assault on Samsung is because they're scared of the Galaxy S II. Oh, and if he were boss of Apple he'd have done X, Y and Z differently.
In a "just counters" scenario you can't imagine how much data a single Redis server can hold! It is sensible to understand when it is a good idea to use a database that holds data in memory, as there are obvious limits (that are are trying to break in a comfortable way with Redis Cluster instead of forcing client-side sharding), but on the other hand it is good to do some math before being worried.

Example: Redis can hold 1 million counters, every counter stored in a different key, for every 200 MB of memory. This means 5 million counters per gigabyte. Clearly you can have a lot of counters. But you can make this figure a lot higher if you aggregate counters using hashes: with this trick when applicable the above figure will be five times bigger.
Obj-C and Cocoa are defiantly the main language and libraries developers are using build apps. The language and libraries are well thought out and don't suck. Its not perfect, but nothing is. Not even Java and C# are perfect.

I'm no tech evangelist but I do know this: there are more apps today than there were a year ago, and there will be even more a year from now. Its like a train of money on the iPhone/iPod/iPad, and the critics to the system which came from nothing in 2008 seem as competent in their predictions as the Apple Dumpling Gang is at robbing trains.

The minimal-acceptor approach is also best when you're considering dynamic programs that effectively involve some kind of FSA-intersection, including best-first lazy versions like "find the closest spelling correction to a sequence of words in your lexicon of some text", because your state (suffix set) representation is canonical.

I only skimmed the paper, but a simple n*log n approach to produce the same result is to first sort the lexicon, then build the trie while canonicalizing the suffix sets depth first (needing to hash/compare only one level deep, by induction).

This guy wrote an entire thesis comparing various methods for the same task - http://www.eti.pg.gda.pl/katedry/kiw/pracownicy/Jan.Daciuk/p...
Speculation on the delay or otherwise of a future iPhone model is one thing, but claiming Apple are scared of Samsung's Galaxy is just laughable.

Apple, love or loathe them, created a complete vertically-integrated product stack precisely so that they never need be scared of a competitor again.

They built the game in which they compete with nobody.

A good argument is enough. I'm a mathematician and I have not read any of the original papers of Euler, Gauss, etc. but understand and accept their results fully. To me, philosophical and theological reasoning are not fundamental as they may be to you, because I have accepted they are an outcome of a particular brain architecture with its own tendencies and biases, itself an outcome of a more general process. This argument is convincing to me because it seems a natural progression to our realizations that humanity is not fundamental (which, coming from antiquity, is counterintuitive), and a natural extension of the shift from a geocentric to a heliocentric point of view. Understanding our reasoning capacities as the outcome of a natural physical process leads to my agreement with Dawkins's claim that any philosophical result prior to 1859 can be disregarded.

We have a limited amount of time. I was a faithful, practicing Catholic who scoffed at atheist ideas because I didn't understand them. I remember the precise position I sat while reading the God Delusion when my brain was shocked into realizing "Wait a second, I'm agreeing with this." I took a few more months to verify the ideas were sensible, and what I got was much more; a worldview with more coherence and explanatory power than anything I'd yet seen. So for me, I don't spend my time on reading further theological / atheist philosophy for the same reason I am not proofchecking Deligne's demonstration of the Weil conjectures, even though I accept and use his result.
Arrington's microphone accidentally on at TC (00:34)
Joe Wilcox isn't the sharpest when it comes to Apple rumours. My personal favourite is his bit [1] on why the Verizon iPhone wasn't announced by Apple (there's a great response in the comments which Gruber grabbed and put on DF)[2]. Apple's biggest problem with the iPhone 5 is that it isn't out yet, but that's OK because the iPhone 4 continues to sell reasonably well (ref. AT&T data showing it as the #1 selling smartphone in the most recent quarter).
