The problem is you do not understand risk at all. You compare things with many orders of magnitude different risks as if they were equally risky. In fact, in my original post, I addressed the issue of risk, and mentioned hedging that risk using put options. Yet, you think that because you're not sophisticated enough, or didn't bother to actually read my post, you think you can spout off and accuse of saying things I did not say. In fact, you claim that I "don't understand the point of arbitrage, at all", on the basis that you are unable to price risk accurately, or do not understand the concept of hedging.

But hey, just keep on thinking that gold is very risky.... sucker.

May I suggest speakerdeck[0] instead of or as well as slideshare?

I've seen a pair of slide decks on it lately and it's been a much, much better experience than consuming through Slideshare: it's faster, more reliable, it looks better and it's not flash.

If you are sufficiently connected to massive amounts of information, it is possible to be able to see many possibilities and make accurate predictions which, given the right circumstance, can come true.

This doesn't mean that his predictions were so wild - but that reality was so drastically divergent than what would have been perceived to the future.

I.E. There are definitely times when one can extrapolate very accurately multiple/many possibilities given an assessment of the current state.

Connecting-the-dots.
You can have multiple connections on the same port from the same client. E.g. all connections via HTTP commonly go over the same port and a single browser usually has 2-4 simultaneous connections to the server. They don't use multiple ports to achieve this.
Sad. Share the Air is middle of the pack of pitches and demos I've seen.
That is a terrible analogy. It's as if you were given peoples' posessions but you had someone working around the clock to find a way into your home to deface you. You're condemning Sony's engineers for missing something, even if it was a "simple" something. This LulzSec guy, however, did act in malice. He's the one who leaked information, after all.
once people get out of their twenties, they are basically a bunch of walking scar tissue, more informed by past failures than future possibilities.

our perception of why things didn't work is often flawed. it is often exogenous factors that stops it.

The Influencers Verdict: the Google+ example
I was previously using 960GS as my starting point and Bootstrap is a significant improvement because it comes with better default theming and the LESS layout is robust so I can churn out better looking designs quicker. It's also more flexible since you can specify an arbitrary number of columns not just 12 16 or 24.
The Scientific Method could be boiled down to:

10: Question Reality

20: Verify Results

30: GOTO 10

You are assuming the person doing this has not also bought puts against the gold sufficient to cover the long position.

There is no such thing as "not taking any risk" or a "risk free" investment. The idea that arbitrage is without risk is, kinda amusing, if you think about it.

Even buying the put options I described to protect the position involves risk, though it does reduce the level of risk dramatically.
"In my experience OKCupid profiles (the best available online dating site the last time I was single) were just a thin veneer of bullshit designed to sell only the best qualities."

The same could be said about meeting people in real life.
Let's play the "more appropriate analogy" game:

Say you take your valuables to a bank to put in a safe deposit box. They position themselves as a leader in safe deposit box technology. Then one night a burglar notices that the boxes are protected simply by a piece of cardboard panted to look like a real door, and there are no other security systems. Further the locks on the boxes can be opened by merely tapping them in the right place with a screwdriver. He takes your stuff in the heist.

Are you pissed at the burgler? Of course.

Are you pissed ath the bank? You should be ...

But by your logic, we should ignore the facts regarding the bank's complete lack of proper safe deposit box handling and security. Obviously they must have tried real hard, and their statements about good security are no match for the evil burglar.

I wrote my post, presuming anyone who might follow such a strategy was sophisticated enough to understand what risk is. Risk can be hedged. Risk can also be calculated.

You're right that gold is not the same as USD. It is less risky.

You'd do well to not tell me what I believe about various asset classes, especially when it is clear you have not even read the original comment I made.

By definition, people engaging in arbitrage are being paid to take the risk that the arbitrage might fail. The idea that there is such a thing as a risk-free form of property is fallacious.

Thus your arbitrary demand that I be talking about something risk free is an impossible standard (and quite off the point... but then, maybe derailing the possibility of sophisticated financial discussion was your goal?)

I mentioned hedging risk, and everything else you've brought up in my original comment.
Well, at the moment i can't pin it down to EC2, but it's the only thing i can imagine it'd be. The network/cpu/memory usage is all healthy, and there's nothing in the kernel log, so that's what i'm guessing is the cause. Although i may be wrong.

I "Liked" and commented on status updates that showed up on my wall before that was an actual feature, but the friends whose updates I acted on didn't get a notification. Will this be the case for when the timeline goes live?

I also noticed that you can arbitrarily add events to any point in your timeline. So I guess FB is aiming to be a retrospective diary, too.

That was not my logic at all.

Just because Sony should be held to higher standards and just because they should be in trouble maybe for having a security flaw (like they're the only ones? It's just fashionable to hate Sony's divisions), this doesn't discount my very first point that you shouldn't downplay the fact that this person committed a crime. A very real crime that you wouldn't be defending if you liked Sony instead of disliked them.

My problem is we go to hold criminals accountable for real life crimes that you wouldn't want committed against yourself and then you get these online people whining that they are heroes somehow. It's ridiculous.
Just because you have weekly sprints doesn't mean the developer can't show their work more often (you just don't have the right as the PO to interrupt a developer).

I think at PivotalLabs, they have the PO's sitting near the developers.

Also, perhaps, during your iteration planning meetings, try and break the stories into tasks that feel like they are less than a day.

Also, listen more carefully during the daily standup/meeting. If the "what I am doing" is not one of the tasks or on the current log, maybe ask why. Whatever they are doing, add it to the tasks (if that really should be done).

If the answer to "what is inhibiting you" is "nothing" but the "less than" one day tasks are not complete then there is something inhibiting the developer(s). It is your job to make sure that whatever is causing the developer to fail meeting the commitments is fixed. Could be bad estimation on everyones part, could be that tasks feel overwhelming (as other people pointed out), could be the developer(s) are just not interested.

All of those are fixable.
200M iPod users are nothing to sneeze at: they represent an enormous pool of potential iPhone and iPad users, and Apple has been using the iPod Touch as a "gateway drug" for iOS for years now.

The Retina display 16G iPod touch has to be the lowest margin product in Apple's lineup, due to its place as a low cost stepping stone to the more expensive iOS devices.

It would be cool if they made the Nano a wrist mounted remote display for the iPhone, though.
280slides was nothing more than a demo app that hasn't been touched in 3 years. Atlas was the real product of 280north. I suggest trying Cappuccino today. If you're dealing with any significant browser issues, the problem is certainly not Cappuccino.

You can talk benchmarks all you want, but it doesn't change the fact that for 99% of consumer facing applications you won't have any noticeable benefit from those native speed.
Shooting in the Snow
The ice crystals falling from the clouds grab everyone’s attention. Yes I mean the snow in winters. Winter reminds us of the chilled cold weather, woolens, bonfire etc. but along with this the most exciting thing that happens in winters is the snowfall. Many times it so happens that we want to capture the snow and cherish it forever. The little ones playing in the snow or you making snowballs and throwing them to your friends and families make the winter more memorable. But to cherish them forever you need photographs. So take your camera out and get set to shoot in the snow. But remember shooting in snow is again very challenging.
Most journals can be accessed by those working professionally in the field.

Some argue this isn't good enough (and I have some sympathy for those arguments). But it's very different to a deliberate action to hide or obscure information.

Go down to your local university library. Go over to one of the computers (or hop on the wifi). Read the article. Email it to yourself. Not that hard now was it?

This is not ideal, but it's not that you _cannot_ access it, it's just not convenient.

I put CC on virtually all of my Flickr photos. I still get asked permission to reprint them (and once was even paid). It doesn't seem that I get much of an increase in traffic, though....though I've never really tested it by setting the whole collection to non-CC and back. I just don't think Flickr's "interestingness" algorithm would make CC-photos rise higher, as typically the most visually striking photos (also, the photos of models) will not be CC-licensed.
Interestingly, eBay is implementing a new policy that requires sellers to offer either no returns at all, or give the buyer at least 14 days. No one except sellers in a couple of narrow categories will be allowed to offer 3-, 7-, or 10-day return periods starting in Q1 2012. So eBay no longer even vaguely resembles a real auction venue where cash, carry, and caveat emptor are the first three rules.

That will obviously kill womens' clothing sales completely, which is a nontrivial part of the company's overall revenue picture.

It also opens up all kinds of amusing arbitrage opportunities (buy gold coins or other assets that fluctuate in value, return them if the market goes down over the next two weeks.)

It also makes me think that eBay needs a good corporate drug-testing policy. Or maybe they're just using the wrong drugs.
From what I understand, this is true in most states in the U.S. -- you're considered to have run the red light if you haven't exited the intersection by the time it turns red.
Kid solves Game of Life using Scala
They're probably selling 20-30 times as many iPod Classics/year as they ever did xserves, even at their peak. The xserve also didn't do anything to act as a draw toward other Apple products, and required frequent revisions to keep up. I bet ongoing iPod Classic R&D budget is statistical noise.
Yeah, I really wish people would start making some meatier games for the iPhone to go with all the 5 minute junk food distractions that are about as entertaining as bouncing a ball. There have been a few games of more substance, but for the most part, it doesn't hold a candle to the DS' library.
Succeed. As long as things are going well whether or not you are an amateur is irrelevant.

For example, Mark Zuckerberg and Andrew Mason would have been called amateurs if their business didn't take off like a rocket and never look back. Kevin Rose was considered a rockstar for a while and when Digg started to decline everyone changed their minds about him.

This article series is kind of a Bible to me. It's not going to solve all of your problems, for sure, depending on yer stack, and setting yourself up for a forkbomb isn't the wisest in all situations, but it's got a lot of good advice & is pretty good about providing you a "Okay, tweak these parameters and then try to break it" baseline.
The Classic is $249. The 64GB Touch is $399. Even if the next revision got 128GB at $399, that's a major price difference. A lot of people who would pay for the 160GB Classic are not going to pay for a 128GB $399 Touch.
It would seem to me that de-emphasis of the consumer side (i.e., psg and webos) to focus on the enterprise should have (in theory, at least) lead to greater confidence to enterprise buyers.

I don't know much about how smart a purchase Autonomy is (was?), but I do know that IBM has been acquiring data companies like crazy over the past 3 years.

I often have to have about 15 minutes of background talk when I meet someone about stuff I already know about them because I Googled them. Certainly I have to pretend I don't know all these things for the sake of not being awkward. :)
But that doesn't indicate a hard error bound; this is a statistical matter, after all. Most likely it's just an expected standard deviation.

I think a large part of their supporters don't care if someone commits a crime if it is done in a sufficiently shameless and entertaining way. Just look at Sabu's tweet.

Apple has always been one to do what THEY think is best, and then make everybody follow along. They did it with iOS and flash, basically saying "hey we don't like this, you shouldn't either, so we aren't going to let you use it." for better or for worse, this has always been Apple's Modus Operandi, and whether or not you believe in it, judging by their stock prices, it's worked.

One of the biggest killers of the iPod is the fact that the iPhone is no longer exclusive to AT&T. How many millions of people bought an iPod because they had Verizon and didn't feel like dealing with AT&T? This is only going to get worse with the iPhone 5, which will presumably be on all major carriers.

I think the emergence of Android has made all altogether killing the iPod unrealistic. I have yet to see an Android phone that handles music as well as the iPod does, and Apple knows this. I think what is going to happen is that Apple will revamp the line again in a year or so, and do something to make it relevant. I would say the iPod touch, ironically enough, is the one in the most danger of being killed off, what with it's big brother iPad owning the tablet market and the iPhone doing everything that it does and more.
OH at Apotheker's job interview...

HP Board: We think we want to focus on the enterprise, but we need a hatchet man to cut the consumer stuff. We know it's going to be unpopular and destroy your reputation, and we're going to fire you for doing that. We're willing to pay you about $30M for your trouble. You in?

Apotheker: Hell, yeah.
I'm using for all my admin/reporting/quick little sites I make now. It's exactly what I was looking for
I very clearly stated I care that a crime has been committed. I don't have an anti-corporate agenda. I have an agenda, but it is simply that we take care to ensure that:

1. the punishment fits the crime, not that we do our worst to everyone who breaks a law ever - this is unreasonable.

2. that in our attempts to find justice in one case, we don't ignore a hundred others because our bloodlust.

3. that we assess the responsibilities of companies to their customers and recognize liability and that large coffers are tools which can be used to unbalance the system.

I apologize that I have offended you with my long writing about my position on this, I don't know any one sentence platitudes or slogans on which to hang my position. You see, I have thought about it a lot, and none of the simple statements seemed to cover my thoughts fully nor appropriately.

Yes, your name calling is absurd - it won't change my mind and doesn't really even offend me, just slightly annoys me because it doesn't add to the conversation. It obviously hasn't made you feel any better, you still seem pretty angry.

I am actually curious why you think my postion is absurd. Would you mind telling me, using adult language and responding to the opinions I actually wrote about, not the ones you are claiming (those contradict statements I have made so I am not sure how you got them).
You can talk benchmarks all you want, but it doesn't change the fact that for 99% of consumer facing applications you won't have any noticeable benefit from those native speed.

I'm not talking about benchmarks, I'm talking about actual application development, and the real impact the tremendous number of hours we spend as consumer app decelopers on performance has on the user experience.

I honestly can't even fathom your position, given the context of my experience maximizing application performance. All available CPU cycles are spent quite directly on performance and functionality.

Your position implies to me a myopic inexperience with development beyond the web.

That's supposed to be the intention of eating your own dogfood. If a company's too big, maybe it turns into an exercise in "company loyalty" with no concrete benefit because there's too much red tape between devs in one group and changing requirements and design choices in a completely separate group, but for Github I think it might actually be working as intended.
They should do nothing. Keep upgrading the capacity upgrading periodically.

I bet that in the same keynote as the next iPhone release, Apple will rename the iPod Touch to just "iPod".
That's an interesting point -- Bootstrap can really help out on projects who don't have the time or money for a designer, where that project would otherwise look like a Geocities page.

At the foursquare hackathon in SF last weekend, there were at least three teams using it. I think it'll get old very quickly unless someone writes some sort of generator to customize the way it looks. But until then, I think it looks solid and has a lot more uses than anything on ThemeForest.

I really resent the degree to which companies like AOL, Gawker, and BI punch up their headlines for maximum effect. It's exhausting to skim these headlines in my Google Reader feed, because the emotions they invoke diminish my mental signal-to-noise ratio dramatically.
