It's fascinating to see musicians who can afford (socially) to dress neatly in spite of the assumption they'd dress in ripped jeans and T-shirt.
Love the powerstrip idea. Sounds like a movement :-)
Who Benefits Most From the New Facebook Changes?
to be honest this was fully expected. Most crawlers don't execute any JS or CSS so fine, this one display: hidden, the next would be width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; position: absolute; interpreting css rules without a css engine is very hard, hence why honeypot fields work. Css engine is too slow to crawl. So google does not interpret it.
One of my ideas isn't big enough, and has taken longer than I expected; other of my ideas may be too big for my brain to accomplish (I don't want to do any web-gimmicks).
Amazon and Apple
Not sure why people are so interested in who a company will put out of business when they put out a new product. I just care if it is good or not.
The best news about this in my opinion is that websites can no longer block EC2 IPs if they want to work properly on the Kindle Fire... between this and free inbound bandwidth (now we know why they made that happen in the first place), scraping just got a lot easier.

Don't forget that the Humble Bundle guys are also backed by a $4.7 million venture capital investment by Sequoia: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/34255/Humble_Bundle_Backe...

Puts an interesting spin on the whole situation. The sliders are set to give the organizers 15% of the gross, and they claim that when all is said and done, that's approximately the rate that they actually get.

How many more bundles until Sequoia turns a profit? What's been the total gross so far?

Anyway, an interesting business / promotional model.
Could this perhaps be your answer: http://www.colinux.org/ ?
HackerThings recently posted a widget I created (the ATX Power Supply to Bench Supply). In a few days I'll post a writeup of traffic (or sales, if any, none so far) mainly for the benefit of coderdude.

Thank you, coderdude, for sharing my product!
A few other missing features: polymorphic variants, structural types for objects, functors, camlp4 (though it's not really O'Caml core, it's pretty nice).

Of course, F# adds lots of things; here's a nice summary: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/179492/f-and-ocaml/248527...
About.me founder Tony Conrad: From Launch to Acquisition in Four Days
I can't think of many reasons to work out a coffee shop instead of a public library.

Unless the coffee shop is dead, they don't want you there.

The library on the other hand is funded in part by utilization, and very much does want you there.

The library is quiet, is designed to provide work spaces, far larger, and generally very pleasant to be in. And it's free.

The coffee shop is loud, is certainly not ergonomic, cramped, and often jarring.

Also, I don't know what the word is for an ostensible who brings their own lunch daily to an establishment that serves any kind of food, but I'm sure there must be a word for it.
Sheesh.
Look @ both sides of the data - how many startups fail that come from top tier schools?

I think top tier schools push people towards leadership and entrepreneurship and that is what causes them to start so many companies – not because they are genetically better or something you have no control over. It is all up to the individual. Don't be deterred. Being successful is a personal choice (often a hard one).
ibm/accenture ....optimo/northrop no matter which way you slice it the majority are incompetent. On their blazing 32bit windows xp systems, they feverishly code their 1998'ish websites with state of the art j2ee/struts/xml/oracle/websphere 5,6 and copying all their favorite javascript widgets. To top if off most of the people use SVN as a filesystem with total disregard for history. I could go on, but the name of the game now is the resume dance.
I don't think it's reasonable to expect the process to define how a team should confront the problems found in a retrospective. Those project and team specific problems are likely to be unique and giving the team the framework to choose the best course of action is likely to more effective than some prescriptive process that says "If A then do B".

It also wasn't meant to provide guidance on how teams should improve themselves, that's up to the team to choose the best route to get there. It excels at enabling the team to make those decisions for themselves.
Box.net Raises $50 Million From Salesforce And Others
I would be ecstatic to have an idea that's both reasonably achievable and that has reasonable chance of making some money.

Yeah. Not shooting for the stars. I'm just looking for a base hit to build some confidence.
Plenty of big-city libraries will allow you to bring coffee in, too.

Q. Are there discounts for education and non profit users?

A. Yes. DotCloud provides special free and low cost plans for open source
developers, educational users and other qualifying non-profits. To inquire
about adding free or low cost capacity to your DotCloud account, please

Ask HN: What products/services are you looking for?
What do you want and/or need on a daily/weekly/monthly basis that you cannot seem to find or get easily?
Yeah, my transformer is Tegra2 based and pretty quick with the rendering. Tegra3 is right around the corner. Whats the use of this,really? Save 4 dollars per unit on a cheaper cpu and a little battery, but paying for it by pounding EC2 servers? Heck, we're in the age of 4G and wifi. Slow 3G might be par for the course in the iPhone world, but not elsewhere.

Danger, Opera, and Blackberry have all done this with lackluster results. Mobile Chrome has the chops to handle the modern web. This kind of pre-rendered solution might have been a good idea 4 or 5 years ago, but now its questionable and brings up issues of privacy, vendor lock in, EC2 issues (hi, my website was down for 48 hours a couple of months ago), EC2 load issues, etc.

So we are both screwed, because I obviously wont buy it for $288.70. Atleast I think that our fellow european friends feel a little less screwed now.
> I'd still be stoked to get a Kindle Fire

That could be a clever ad line for the Fire (if, you know, enough people knew the actual definition of "stoked").
Sure it is. IPad's real competition is clustering around the 4400 price point as far as hardware goes, but the Android app ecosystem needs at least another year to mature.
"If you think about this system as one in which a window handle is a window object and a message to that window represents a function call, then the WM_CLOSE is a public method that anyone can call. WM_DESTROY, on the other hand, would be a protected method that can only be evoked by the window system."

Yeah well there's the error in your thinking, and exactly what the OP was about: window messages aren't that. Every message is a callback, a 'notification' if you will. If you call RegisterClass() and pass a WNDPROC that does nothing (ignores all messages), it can still be created/destroyed with CreateWindow()/DestroyWindow(), and the 'notifications' it gets (WM_CLOSE and WM_DESTROY) can happily be ignored ('happily' as far as the window manager is concerned).

Win32 is not an OO API, and thinking of it too much in those terms will cause all sorts of confusion. Win32 is a C api, and yes things like MFC put an OO wrapper around it, but at some point the abstraction will start to leak if you take it to the extreme without thinking about the underlying system. Win32 is based around the OS calling back into your code through a well-defined callback function (the WNDPROC), a function with a fixed signature, and taking two arguments that are for all intents and purposes void*'s. The message ('WM_xxx') is a way to tell you how to interpret its arguments, and inform you about changes in the life cycle or state of the window. Everything else (like being able to 'send' messages to HWND's and make them behave in a certain way) comes from there, and much of it is convention - which often works, but when it doesn't, it's not the design's 'fault'.
Is it concrete enough that getting to the cache is now a series of 3 actions:
1) Hover over result
2) Move mouse to hover over double-arrow (careful don't miss it or you go back to step 1)
3) Click on Cache link

Whereas before it was just:
1) Click on cache link.

Not to mention the accessibility issues, which I'm asking an expert in the field about now to see how it affects screen readers.
Heroku is owned by Salesforce now and subject to their agenda. Could be a good thing for some reasons, but it leaves room for a nimble startup to use the start-up advantage (fast moving, close to customers, unencumbered by a corporate leash) to compete. They're going to have to keep moving though.
It's worse to stop exercising.
It's on this page: http://thinng.com/about
You always have to work with the information available at the time, and personal tolerances for risk, but Heroku has become a case study in selling too early.

Opera Mini's been doing this for more than a year. And Opera Mini is one of the main browsers on Android phones.

Works fine with Opera for iPad. Better than Safari imho.

> most people that earn a few million rarely retire after that

If you give a few million to random person, 99% chance he/she will retire. However, people who EARN few million rarely retire. I imagine that's precisely the difference between those who make it and those who don't.
