Do you think this is a fundamental problem with letting kids date. Or is it the potential for misuse that's the problem. I was thinking more along the lines of letting kids who already know each other set each other up (have there parents set them up?).

You could even hit the whole parenting thing head on & let parents in on the action. Could be very successful in certain places. I hear China is resurrecting arranged marriages in a modern form.
awesome - but how do I get it?
The primary problem with Sony Reader is that it is too expensive. A new model that is $100 more expensive is counter-productive. I would buy the 505 for $150 or $200 or if I could get a $150-$200 credit for purchasing e-books.

The second problem with Sony Reader is that, for optimum readability, books need to be reformatted and resized specifically for its screen. Novels are okay as-is because they are laid out for small pages, but technical books' pages are usually too large to port over as-is.
Unless you got a Kindle with a Sony bookstore.
Revolutionize everything.

That's what I'm setting out to do. I've been self-employed now for just a little over 6 months, and already I've built networks and solved I.T. problems for a number of folks locally, at a fraction of what it would have cost them otherwise. People are happy enough that, even though I've yet to do any marketing at all, my business has grown beyond my ability to handle it, on word of mouth alone.

But I'm only bootstrapping right now. Eventually I want to make sure that the people with skills in various areas get all the exposure they want, and that the people looking for skills can find them. I want to make all kinds of resources more available to all kinds of people. I want design and produce everything from new software to revolutionary backpacks (not so much school packs, but packs for backpackers, climbers, photographers...).

I've helped launch a local Rotaract club, and I'm the sole founder of a local club for "solopreneurs". At just over a month old, the club managed to form some relationships that are helping us to launch my county's very first inexpensive shared office space for budding entrepreneurs.

So, a long way to go yet, but not too bad so far either.

Ask HN: Why do you do what you do?
When I was a kid I used to drive my parents nuts by playing the "Why?" game. For the unlightened, you start by asking a simple question ("Why does it snow?") and then when you get an answer, you ask why again ("Why does the rain freeze?") and so on until they can no longer give a satisfactory explanation.

Is it independence? Achievement? Fortune? Security? Excitement? Family? What is it? Why are those things important to you? Will you be happy when you've achieved them? Are there easier ways to do accomplish those things than what you're doing now?

I ask because I can't answer these questions without slightly contradicting myself. I'm hoping your wisdom will help lead me and others like me closer to those important answers.

The first time I've ever had dual monitors working in Linux was two days ago when I installed Intrepid. It took a couple of clicks and (unfortunately) restarting X. Compiz doesn't work with Xinerama (multiple screen support) either. I don't really need the extra space, so I stick with my large monitor and turn off the laptop display.
I've been sick enough to be delirious before. Maybe this is because my brain is so information-focused, but I hallucinated messages everywhere. I could "read" messages in the weave of the blankets.

It's creepy how logical it all seemed, and yet none of it was real. I was reflecting on how maybe this hospital has problems with theft, so they decided to print their name into the very weave of the blanket. I thought that was a pretty cool innovation.

When I mentioned it to the nurses as I was checking out I got only arched eyebrows. I only figured it out a week later.

I think this might be more common in the world of serial entrepreneurs putting together a team with their rolodex. Those guys are always "just looking for a developer." It's painful what they're usually willing to offer to the guy that they expect to develop all of the product.

For technical people doing their first startup it's pretty different. It almost seems like there should be different words for those two classes of businesses.

I think there is perhaps a point in the text highlighting, where it shows you an excerpt from the page containing your search terms. To do that they need either a very complex index (or to optimize for the most popular queries) or full page text in-memory.

Good way to put ads into web app?
I developed a web application and I'm trying to figure out a good way to add ads to it.
Is seems that Google AsSense is bad fit since it needs to examine context of the page to serve relevant ads, which is going to be more or less empty for the web app (ironically my web app is built with GWT). Moreover, AsSense crawler is not going to see same page users sees after user login.
Is there a way to optimize AdSense for the web app?
Is there ad provider suitable for web apps at all?
Achievement - because I yearn to create and innovate always, it's just a matter of finding the time.

Excitement - because I am ready to break out of the confines of college and make a difference.

Independence (team) - because the agility and dynamic I have felt working toward an agreed upon and challenging goal is addictive.

Fortune - because my ultimate hope is to be able to reinvest in people.

Family - sadly, these ambitions make me take leave of my family (moving), but I will change that.
You could do that at the point you render the result... and only after the page scored highly enough. That wouldn't necessarily need to be in memory to perform.

Long Beach Island NJ Real Estate
I discovered this web site which is packed with useful information including long beach island new jersey homes for sale, tourist attractions, business directory, hotels and restaurants and useful real estate information.
haha what a crock by a sad hack who continues to rely on sensationalism (go read his archives, when has he ever been right?)

guess what folks, lots of people care about transactions. the "scaling" crowd balks at any notion of referential integrity v. performance because the fact is, what is in their databases isn't really important. if you run an airline booking system, stock order fulfillment system, credit card transaction system etc etc etc., you have real money riding on the integrity of the database. these people have been using oracle and its rdbms competitors for decades and will be using them decades from now, or something that provides the same integrity level. the notion that these systems will be replaced by shmem or sqlite or some other cub-scout retrieval system is absurd
all irrelevant. the google web index is not a transactional system. most uses of oracle are.

Ask YC: Will the bailout make it easier to get a loan for a startup?
The politicians said entrepreneurs need credit to start businesses - to create jobs and pay employees, it seems like we should all go take out some bank loans and do our part.

Are the loans going to be of a lower interest rate than before or has nothing changed and the bill just enabled what existed before to continue?
why would you defer compensation? getting vc funding is the time to pay yourself your fantasy salary. most very-early people i know at startups now are paying themselves minimum $150k AND UP. you can get the funding to do that if you have a non-bullshit idea. if your funders put you on poverty wages, its time to read the tea-leaves...they are assuming you will fail
Maybe we're talking about startups at different stages. I'm sure an angel-funded startup doesn't pay anyone 175k

15PB/year is "today". 6 CDs per second is the hoped-for "full speed" future.

Today, three weeks after the first particle beams were injected into the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid combines the power of more than 140 computer centers from 33 countries to analyze and manage more than 15 million gigabytes of LHC data every year.

However...

"When the LHC starts running at full speed, it will produce enough data to fill about six CDs per second," said Michael Ernst, director of Brookhaven National Laboratory's Tier-1 Computing Center.
I'm sure you are supposed to assume he follows his own rules and that examples are in his portfolio. That being said, after looking at his portfolio, I was not impressed. Some of the logos he created did not seem memorable at all, had unnecessary detail, etc.

You can't just follow a set of rules to come up with a nice logo. You kind of need to have talent and an eye for colors, typography, etc.

Nevertheless, give him credit for listing out some helpful things to keep in mind for designing things.

The one thing I would say differently is that if you really like a certain logo's style, it isn't a crime to adopt similar styles for your own. All art is influenced by others in some way, and don't stick with something that sucks merely because it's 'original'.

I would rephrase what you called contradictions as range of orientation.

Early in trilogy we used to have this talent development programs identifying our orientation. One would identify highest and lowest orientation.

Most fresh grads would be Challenge oriented with least orientation towards Balance (work-life/family) and the dial does rotate couple of years down.

I think I am Achievement oriented, followed by Excitement followed by Independence/Fortune.

Reliable Search Engine Submissions
The main reason why business owners launch a website is to promote their business and to reach out to more customers. However, launching a website is not sufficient enough to make this happen. The website has to feature in the search results pages when users search for your products or services. In order to gain online visibility it is important that you announce the launching of your website to search engines and this is called search engine submission.

Definitely. Note that many great coders are rushing into web apps, by default. It's the obvious thing to do and you can get a result out a lot faster than a well-designed app that requires installation, licensing, help files, hassling with different operating system flavours.

Which is why it's great. If you're willing to put in the time to make an app really good, then you can do really well.

It is a momentum game. It can take a while to build up enough steam. Subbing to a web app is very easy. Convincing someone to fork over their cash to a download, is generally tougher. But you only need a couple of percent to do that, to do okay.

I'm kinda going to be doing both. I have a downloadable app and I'm extending it with Google App Engine to provide some online features.

Most web apps will never reach the level of scale that cannot be handled by a well coded app with well managed centralized atomic data stores (RDBs being the most prevalent).

If you are building something with tons of content (video, images, pages that rarely change) you won't store this in an RBD, but your other data can certainly be managed well with one.

I've seen lots of poorly written apps which in turn have severe RDB bottlenecks. But this doesn't mean the RDB itself needs to go away. It you need atomic commits (and most apps do for some aspects of the app), an RDB is a good choice.

Besides, Oracle isn't even on the radar of most web apps; which go with MySQL or PostgreSQL. This article is mostly gibberish.

Strictly speaking, I agree with you. I ultimately don't care how I'll be remembered since I'll be dead, but life itself is much more fun when you aren't hated while living it, at least not by too many people. Also, for those people with a conscience, just the personal knowledge that one's success is "based on a lie" might well be enough to sour the flavor of that success.

From what I've read, there's no evidence that Katz drank himself to death because he was overwrought with guilt caused by "stealing" ARC. I feel that if someone takes an existing program and re-writes it entirely in a more difficult language and creates very tangible improvements to it, it's not simple theft. Almost nothing is that black and white.

Katz was, apparently, a guy with no friends who spent most of his time with strippers. I would probably drink a lot, too.
