That's concerning! I'd really appreciate if you could collect a set of specific examples and report at http://duckduckgo.com/feedback.html

That's how we improve fastest. But generally, the way we get results shouldn't result in a lot of stuff actually missing, which may speak to some bugs in there.
Is this surprising since chrome uses a sandbox model, It is firefox's apparent memory leaking that's the worry.
So logically college in Japan should teach English just as much as programming.

I am from Austria and we need to do lots of coursework in English in economics because all the literature is English and you can't work in the profession without a good command of the language.
Just google for

cache:http://www.example.com/

and it will take you directly to the cached site. This is particularly nice in combination with Chrome's omnibar where you just have to prepend "cache:" before the current URL, hit return, and it will automatically show the cached version of the page you are viewing.
Again, it varies by publisher. For instance, CUP (at least for the type of journals that I read) allows the author to put up a preprint (before peer review) or a postprint (after review but before editing) on a personal page or the institutional repository immediately on acceptance; once the final version is available on their website (I think), you can also put it up on your own page; and once a year has passed after publication, you can also upload it to the repository. It's not optimal, but it's much better than nothing.

There is a difference between people here knowing (or at least suspecting) that facebook keeps all that, and the lambda user.
You would be ok if gmail kept a copy of every email you sent, received, the "drafts" you saved at one point? We can suspect they keep everything and still hope they are not in the end.
Tumblr already does this, why take it external?
The Brain vs the Mind
> It sounds like you're in a 'bugfix' position,

You might work differently, but that's not bugfix mode. Everything is an issue in an issue tracker is a development model followed by many projects. I don't think OP is in bugfix mode.

> Once you get into Scrum, it isn't hard to remember the terms.

So not very different from not having terms at all? Which is what OP is following.

> A 'story' is just a feature to implement.

And since features/tasks it interchangeable, I would rather not introduce another word.

> Yes, it was WAY better than waterfall for us.

Of course, but there are methodologies other than scrum and waterfall - like the one OP mentions. I don't see how scrum terminology improves over the model OP is talking about:

1. Having a list of tasks to work on.

2. Fuzzily committing on the tasks which will be done in a given cycle(5 days, 10 days...)

3. Repeating.

> Instead, they were forced to actually put things on a timeline and decide what was more important, instead of just getting upset when everything didn't magically happen.

How is scrum doing anything different? I have a list of tasks, I can only commit to a certain ones which I am going to deliver this week, management can choose which ones. Isn't that the same with having a list of issues on an issue tracker?

> they gained the ability to estimate when things would be implemented

Your team must be super efficient. I have been doing this committing for the week for last 4 years, and I can recall only 2 or 3 weeks where I haven't lapsed. Whatever I tell you is my best guestimate, nothing more.

> instead of going months between releases, and having a ton of bugs when it finally did launch.

You can release early without having all this extra terminology kludge.
The Kindle Fire is not an iPad killer. It's a color Nook killer. The two Kindle models correspond exactly to the two Nook models.

The iPad is a different kind of device. Kindle is a reader. The Kindle 3 is an electronic book, the Kindle Fire is more like a magazine. The iPad is a general purpose computer that just happens to be delightfully useable.

There is no basis for the assumption the any one of these devices is going to kill the other. Many consumers will want both.

Being in attendance, I don't think the size detracted from the quality of the event. It actually made networking a lot easier (merely because there were so many different people to talk to). Being that this was the first NYC event ever, I think things went well. If you decide to do another in the future, you'll know what works and what doesn't. I hope more than anything, though, the size and enthusiasm of the crowd helped to show the desire for a strong startup community on the East Coast.

China to Launch 1st Space Lab Module on Thursday
This is really getting tempting! Before I procrastinate hours away by learning a new editor:

Does ST2 have advanced editing features like vim's cit, ysaw( or ci'?

I'd really love to switch a to modern editor with a scripting language I like. But I use the constructs above all the time and would dearly miss them.
Wait, you mean people really are willing to pay for things when they are priced correctly? Imagine that!
People really need to be educated on how this stuff works. You don't need to be tech savvy to understand that this data has some value to Facebook (maybe you have to be business savvy, or marketing savvy, etc...). Once you figure that out, it makes perfect sense that they'll keep this data around forever.

Then, once you figure that out, it should be no surprise that this info can be "found" again, whether through Europe V Facebook or Timeline, etc. Maybe Facebook (or GMail) could or should be more transparent about this, but in all honesty, I don't know if that will change anyone behavior...
Listen. I bought my macbook when I was a student and it was considerably more than my current income level.

>How is this promise different. If he made a mistake in calculating initial cost, its his mistake and he has to own up to it.

He's a one man operation. The risks are different, and he's likelier to go bankrupt. What-I'm-saying-here is… that I would have an exceedingly easy time forgiving him.

All of this is assuming he will own up to it. He posts a blog post grovelling to his customers and apologizing to everyone in sight, blah blah.

>I have been on and off for a while,I missed when Jersey Shore hit HN.

Stop being a jackass.

FYI, you're being "elitist" because you're implying that someone who watches Jersey Shore is beneath HN.

>(hope you get hellbanned, I sincerely do)

Isn't that a little bit shitty of you to say? You know, I kind of hate this about HN. Secret bans, unexplained rules, etc etc. Everyone worships to the entrepreneur ideal but I'm not convinced most people have had to think about operating as a business.
One of the things he mentions here is that some sites don't have a cached link at all - it may be because they're explicitly telling Google not to cache the page. You can do that using the noarchive tag, which looks like this:

<meta name="robots" content="noarchive" />
This is a nice example of simple evolutionary algorithm. Next steps could be separating crossover and mutate operations, selecting more parent pairs for crossover and applying mutation in a more random fashion (not with every crossover).

Last time I looked through the iPhone clients, they seemed to all be overpriced, and half were abandoned and had one-star reviews saying they didn't work anymore.

Show HN: I'm releasing a series of OS iOS/Mac apps to show how they're built
I'm a iOS and Mac developer and the thing that mostly bothered me when I first started learning Cocoa programming was the lack of full featured sample code.

Now things have changed and more projects have been released, but I still want to do my part.

I've already released Color Picker Pro for Mac:

https://raw.github.com/oscardelben/Color-Picker-Pro

This time I built a copy of the iPhone Calculator which (I hope) will be simple to follow for beginners:

https://github.com/oscardelben/iPhoneCalculator

I hope this will be useful to people who are learning Cocoa. Feedbacks are very appreciated.

"The Heart of Research is Sick"
http://www.labtimes.org/labtimes/issues/lt2011/lt02/lt_2011_...

Essentially, it’s the publication process. It has become a system of
collecting counters for particular purposes – to get grants, to get
tenure, etc. – rather than to communicate and illuminate findings to
other people. The literature is, by and large, unreadable. It’s all
written in a kind of code, with inappropriate data in large amounts,
and the storyline is becoming increasingly orchestrated by this need
to publish. We all know it. We all suffer from it. I think the changes
to the scientific enterprise have been inexorable and progressive. The
deterioration has been so steady that people don’t really realise how
much things have changed.

>I'll report you to the BBB, file a law suit against you and pre up a class action law suit to rape you into bankruptcy and make sure no one will ever do business with you again.

No, you won't, because unless you're a lawyer even thinking about it for too long will be more expensive than the license in the first place.

This happens a LOT.

Your client doesn't pay within 90 days. Do you automatically sue them? No. Do you refuse to work with them in the future? It depends; if you automatically rejected every client who breaks the contract by not paying exactly on time you probably would run out of clients very quickly.

You need to be in the hole for something like $50,000 before it's worth the money involved in suing someone. So most of the time people cut deals and work something out.

Let's suppose you're underwater on your mortgage.

It's hell on your credit rating, but if it's not your DREAM HOUSE you'd be stupid to stick with the loan.

Let's suppose you bid on a construction project, but a machine somewhere broke and you can't afford to replace it. Finishing the bid will make you go bankrupt; it's more rational to break the contract.
Speak for yourself. The only reason TM2 is a free upgrade, or even coming out at all is that Sublime Text 2 is eating up the cash cow that was TM1 and soon TM user base will go away unless he does something about it.
I agree with what you wrote mostly.
What dropbox could do to mess up and give Google a chance to do something much better is this: don't give people more free space when the average user struggles with the 2GB limit.
One of the things that made gmail a success was that hotmail and the rest cheaper out on space. People had to constantly clean up their 2MB mailboxes. Google might be able to do the same again if dropbox don't offer more space for free. But that would take away from their earnings, so it isn't an easy problem to solve.

This is why I don't think the product owner should have the sole power over the backlog.

In addition to business stories that need to be meant there are at least two other areas whose stories are as important: development and testing. Maybe ops too, depending on your structure.

With a product owner that doesn't listen to any area beyond business, of course stories from those other two departments are discardable crap. There needs to be conversation from the departments involved. Sure, if priorities change in mid-sprint that's one thing, but there are other voices that need to be heard beyond business, when planning the story selection.

Likewise, sole product owners might think, "Oh, if we have these programmers work 16 hour days, instead of 8 hour days, we can get twice as much work done, and make the deadline!". Again, other voices (voices of reason) need to be heard in this situation too.

I feel the same way. I keep trying to switch back to DDG and then run into results that just don't have what I want (and Google does).

String literals seem to be ignored now too. ("quoted terms")
This is especially annoying as in days gone by if you added + to the query they'd show a message explaining that you don't need to use + as Google only returns results containing all the terms in your query. I wonder when they stopped doing this?

Yes, erlang is nice, and I guess that using it to create some messaging broker is probably good, but I don't see what this projects adds compared to zeromq for example. 0MQ having the advantage of its large community, company-backed development, and (most importantly) brokerless messaging ...
Carmack is a long way short of the most awkward public speaker I've seen. Carmack knows what he's talking about, and can monologue stream of consciousness from that. Far more awkward is watching someone who only just barely knows what they're talking about, but gets tripped up by e.g. interjections or questions from the audience. You see it a lot with consultants doing presentations at conferences, pretending competence in some domain or other. I can find myself either cringing with embarrassment on their behalf, or shaking my head in disgust, depending on the personality and the degree to which they try to BS their way through.
From the author's remarks, it seems as if this event suffered from the same ailments that our education system has - we teach/perform/guide as if everyone (1) perceives and interacts with information the same way and (2) possesses the same amount of background knowledge. These assumptions are obviously fallacious, but coming up with effective alternatives is a challenging proposition.

The project page never uses the word "infinitely", simply "scalable". The project is obviously very new, but I have to note:

* There's no use of OTP anywhere.

* It has an inferior re-implementation of a supervisor

* None of the language implementations use BERT[1], but instead re-implements this in ways that will make common users of that language cringe (particularly Ruby)

* Does the author realizes that scalability is a lot harder than just using erlang's built-in node graph system?

Don't get me wrong, I wish the author the best, but using Erlang comes with a number of assumptions, and without these it's going to be hard to be taken seriously, especially in a field that's well dominated by RabbitMQ and ActiveMQ.

What's more likely is you're seeing the fact that democracy helps but what helps more is the same societal characteristics that are salient for developing a strong democracy

Yes. More important than democracy itself is a strong system of property rights and a functional market (these are things that tend to be present in democracies, hence the confusion).

The problem in Africa is frequently that property rights are not respected, so warlords and gangsters are able to confiscate the food and sell it themselves, or dole it out to their minions.
i too dislike the previews.
there's a few things that i find useful tho:

- image search

hum, well thats it.

special search commands used to be cool but they don't work so well now (i mean the filetype stuff and all). and the rest are just bloated reactions to "bing fear" or something
