Then again, I don't expect much from a banking website, although I don't get it today: seamless authentication, easy transfers, easy listing and canceling of pending authorizations... I don't think I need more services, I just need the usual ones to be usable. It's unfortunate that the usability concept seems beyond the reach of most bankers.

Ask HN: How much would Google make if they auto-added affiliate links?
There's a billion reasons it'd never happen, but I was just running it over mentally and think it's an interesting question. Just the traffic they send to Amazon alone must be immense.

Again, it won't happen. We all know that. But what's your best guess to how much they'd make per week if they did?
IMO the big differences between flash/photoshop and dreamweaver is that people look at the output.

Few people stand up and complain about the poor bytecode in SWF or the poor encoding inside PSD files, while _everybody_ used to complain about the code produced by dreamweaver and how much better it was to write HTML/CSS/JS by hand.

Probably once web devs stop looking at the "generated assembly" tools for programming at a higher level will be more successful.

A few of my old colleagues bought the code from our bankrupt employer and made a second attempt at creating a business with it. They did better than the original owners, but not much.

In all other cases I've come into contact with the code just dies. Open sourcing would be nice, but that's obviously not a priority in a bankrupcy.

Yes WebGL is the first step....like OpenGLES ...next step would be something like CoreAnimation and CoreGraphics....then something like UIKit....(then something like Three20 haha!)

Although I think its very hard for any company including Google or Facebook to make something the matches the design quality of these frameworks....The real problem is that no one company or person is going to take this responsibility...and hence even a good attempt will end up looking like a clusterfuck....and that is exactly what Joe is trying to say!...the Web needs its Apple!

Not to mention that by the time something like UIKit exists for the Web Apple would be miles ahead!

The thing is, for creativity you need a foundation of knowledge and there is no way to avoid memorization. Also, you may need to memorize what was already done:
if you keep recreating everything yourself from scratch you may not have time to create anything new.
Google denies 'cooking' search results
Not sure if it was the GP's point, but it seems incredibly naive to think that the search algorithm itself is such that someone can just go in and "look" at it and gain any meaningful understanding. Even assuming Google is guilty of outright manipulation there's never going to be a smoking gun of "if(website == google) rank = rank +1, it is going to be an abstract machine learning algorithm with hundreds of inputs and dozens of outputs, all themselves the results of complex statistical properties gleaned from the web. There would be zero insight available to any mere mortal who might gain access to the code driving it.
Yeah thts true...But how cool would it be if the objective C code was loaded dynamically and run on the browser(or something like the Web Browser for apps)....No need to load any apps..just use em when you need them....Just like the Web...On the Android similarly the Browser will send Java Code.

I have thought a lot about making something like this...With the power of the Objective C Runtime I think it should possible!

Does anyone here know what was used to produce this? I'm guessing HTML5 canvas trickery, but I'm not a web-dev so I'm really curious if that's the case.

However it was made, this is one of the best web-demos I've seen in a long time. Thanks for sharing!
It is if you accept relativity's statement that there is no privileged reference frame.

That said, you'd have to be clueless to think that there were no search engines before Google. Haven't they at least heard of Yahoo?
Open sourcing is always a good option.

Etherpad (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EtherPad) got sold to Google and the code was subsequently open sourced. It's since launched a number of hosting sites providing collaborative editing services. The source code lives on, there's even a node.js port available with a much smaller footprint (see Etherpad Lite (https://github.com/Pita/etherpad-lite).

Another good example is Mozilla. When Netscape crashed and burned Mozilla somehow managed to come out of the ashes.
But yeah I agree...Writing different code for all these platform kinna sucks!..But the results are better!
That was my question as well. Skimming the paper on nature.com (http://www.nature.com/cr/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/cr201115...) turns up this :

"We next characterized the possible carrier of circulating miRNAs. Microvesicles (MVs) are small vesicles that are shed from almost all cell types under both normal and pathological conditions 13, 14. They bear surface receptors/ligands of the original cells and have the potential to selectively interact with specific target cells and mediate intercellular communication by transporting bioactive lipids, mRNA, or proteins between cells... "

It looks like the miRNAs are trapped in tiny bits of the rice cells. These bits have receptors that can interact with mammal cells and transport RNA across the cell barrier. (This really sounds like a protovirus!) If this can happen from eating a plant, I wonder what miRNA is circulating after eating a nice rare steak.

Every Door Direct Mail:Leaflet Distribution
Many direct mail postcard printers do provide postage services as well, where you as the business owner include the mailing list where the postcards should arrive, and as soon as the printing is done, the cards get delivered. There is also the option of having the postcards in addressed envelopes, as well as any other accompanying incentives like free gifts to go with the cards.
If a miRNA alters the expression of transcription factors, chromatin remodeling agents, or other epigenome modifiers, the effect could last long after a person stops eating the miRNA-containing food.

I love 'two envelopes'.

I have tried to track down the original joke. The first time I heard it was 20 years ago. I was 10 years old at the time and the old Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc were falling apart. My dad was a political refugee from Eastern Europe who emigrated to Australia.

I asked him what was going on while we watched the news on TV, and he explained that communism was a different system to ours and it was one where the government controls the people.

He told me 'two envelopes', but with the characters being leaders of the Soviet Union. It was an old joke he first heard in Russian, and had heard repeated across the Eastern Bloc as a commentary on the situation they were in.

I couldn't find an earlier reference than when I heard it - so I will assume the joke originated in old communist East Europe. When you search for the joke, a lot of websites reference it as a 'Russian joke' [1], which backs up how I first heard it.

Hmm, I'm a bit lost by your paragraph about Occam. (I know next to nothing about the distinctions between nominalism and formalism, maybe I should check this out.) For now, I just trust the formal version of Occam's razor, based on Kolmogorov complexity (or Solomonov induction, the two are equivalent), but I don't fully understand those yet. (I should definitely check this out).

So, for now I must admit, that feels like a leap of faith. I am very confident, but my curiosity isn't satisfied yet.

Yes, I find it odd that Google gets so much attention while Facebook never rates a mention. I find Facebook way more creepy and actually much harder to switch away from - I can use bing any day of the week and the results are comparable. I can use G+ today and the results are useless. To my mind there has to be some recognition of whether a "monopoly" is due to exploitation of natural barriers to entry or not, and Google seems one of the least problematic in this regard.
I did draw an AK-47 instead.

Lean Startup by Eric Reis - highly recommended
Developers who wanted 3D content on the web have used Unity3D to achieve this. With the release of flash 11, developers who didn't explicitly need 3d web content may decide to throw it in, as they 'get it for free'. This is only considering that flash 11 will have a large penetration rate as people update. For the people who really want 3D content, the ease of development for each platform will probably be a deciding factor (obviously webgl isn't the most viable option for now, but that may change).

> Abusing your monopoly power is however illega

However the principle that underwrites all of it is harm to the consumer. If you can't prove harm then it is hard to justify action. If consumers are choosing the monopoly provider willingly with zero compulsion by factors other than that it serves them well then you have a good argument that the monopoly is not harming the consumer.

The best argument would be that the purchasers of advertising are harmed because Google's ad prices are bolstered by their monopoly on search. However even there, Google uses a quite transparent and open bidding system for ads. They have no direct control over what people pay, they don't set their own prices - Google only shows ads at the prices people voluntarily bid. This doesn't put them in the clear but it makes it pretty hard to prove they are gouging or any of the other obvious signs of a monopoly abusing their power.
the problem is that most of the new features are just 'catching up' with what native apps and flash have been able to do for years now.

and we are still a long way from having all those API's (most of which flash and desktop did 10 years ago) available on most web browser installs
Hi ale3x, I think BankSimple is looking awesome.

Have you ever tried the Payday iOS app? It works just the same (without the power of having a live bank behind it with searchable transactions): what you can safely spend (in our case daily), bills & savings (goals). It's a design I've personally wanted for years and ended up creating because no-one else did. If I'd waited 18 months I'd needn't have bothered! :)

You should take a look as it might amuse you.

p.s. will you ever launch in the UK?
The market is much, much bigger than $50M, so I wouldn't say they 'won'.

I just don't get why people think this is outrageously funny. I was going through a canvas tutorial on HTML5Rocks once upon a time, and there's a multi-user anonymous drawing sample program. While I was messing around with it, about 10 people showed up, drew a dick, then logged out. It's not even offensive, just stupid. It's like listening to a 5 year old who has one joke he tells over&over&over to everyone within earshot until you want to duct tape his mouth shut.

You make a good point. I wasn't intending to promote incestuousness, and to limit potential hires to ones who got referred.... if I ever get an email out of the blue from someone looking for a job, I'll help them, and I'll be keen to see if they might be a good fit. Someone with some gumption like that is automatically more interesting to me than someone who comes from a recruiter.

Also, kids in high school, new college grads, self taught hackers.... show me someone with a strong drive and I'm half sold.

So, no, I didn't mean to imply any sort of incestuousness... I'd like the opposite. I'm interested in a lot of people that reciters would filter out. "No college degree? Trashcan!" For me, its "No college degree because he spent the four years building a crappy startup that totally failed stupidly? Hire 'em!"

PS- please don't take this as me trying to recruit. I'm not. We're not ready for that, yet.
