The Hangover Theory : Are recessions the inevitable payback for good times?
Someone posted something on Austrian Theory I think a week ago, I wanted to write something in reply but whatever I tried to write just didn't do justice to the question I wanted to answer.

Good thing Paul Krugman won the Nobel and I got this link from the Marginal Revolutions Blog.

How can I track or locate every profile I've signed into?
Hello guys, I've surfed quite a lot of time now, and I wish to start, emmm, cleaning a bit my webpresence. Is there a webapp I could try or some method to put some order into this madness?
What I wish to do is to get a list or something of sites I've signed into and close -or try closing- the accounts. I tried Spock (not many results) and Spokeo (paid service) without much luck. Anyone has any thoughts on this?
300k sounds a little high to me. I've read reports of mercenaries in Iraq earning around 250k - 300k in a year (and being happy to do so).

You'd have to expect that a guy whose job is to take a bullet for some foreign dignitary would get paid better than some guy who sits in a bunker and taps on a keyboard.

I'm just going by stuff I've read though, nothing really concrete.
Free markets never fix societal inequities. In fact, they exacerbate them. People with wealth use that wealth to generate more wealth. Additionally, only a percentage of the lower class can climb to the upper class in each generation. It amazes me that anyone thinks there can ever be "equality".

One trick is to completely turn off the backlight (can be done on MBPs), and treat the display as a reflective screen. It isn't perfect: looks almost as washed out as with max brightness on the backlight, but without the battery drain.

Definitely an inspiring story with Balsamiq, though I do also see it as competition to Dabbleboard, so -ahem- you know where my loyalties lie.
Wow, pretty cool to see other people have a lot of irons in the fire too. Working on a (yet another) better financial management tool, raising a newborn, and the day job :).

I think this is a great idea! She is offering help.

Frankly, this is the first post I've read where someone is offering plain and simple help. It would be great if she could help everyone, but her available 'free helping' time is I'm sure limited, and she choose a filter to limit the pool and to serve her personal goals as well.

I say thank you!

Supposedly you can set the visibility of your email to non-friends or non-network users. The problem here is that I have my FB email setting on private (friends only), and yet somehow this site can see it.

Methinks they may be simply attempting to log in with that email as your username... maybe Facebook returns a different error depending on non-existent username vs. wrong password. Very dumb of FB in that case, and must be fixed.
I'm not totally blind to banner ads. I still consider them visual noise and hence consider them annoying. Whenever I am on a machine without ad-block, I find myself having to scrolling a lot more, and usually I do it a lot faster.

Ad-block lets me relax and focus on the content, so despite my mind subconsciously "ignoring" these ads, it offers a so much better user-experience.

Hopefully one day these extensions will be a thing of the past and people can once again enjoy the unfiltered web.
Essential Badminton Accessories
A badminton set begins with the most basic and the most fundamental accessory, which is the badminton racquet. A good badminton racquet with a comfortable grip and one that adheres to the standard measurements is the most essential tool in the game. There are different racquets for professionals and some companies even make customized racquets. While most modern racquets are made out of light aluminum or carbon fiber material
It's not. The assumption - following on from cstejerean's comment - being that once XP is no longer receiving security updates, any reasonably knowledgeable person would feel compelled to move to something else. I know I will be.

My comment was really just a facetious one, coming from my personal point of view, which is that Mac's are looking better and better these days.
Some advertising works better than others. Before I started using noscript, I noticed the ads on cnn.com and nytimes.com. In both those cases, they made the animation of the ad move along a big path on the screen (sometimes by having 2-4 flash ads embeded in different parts of the page and then synchronized together to create one big animation).

Also, interstitial advertising seems to be effective, but annoying.
I'm not sure DARPA is that hot these days. Having worked on a DARPA project and talked to (and gone drinking with) a lot of people in academia and industry that work on DARPA projects, it seems they're suffering from focusing too hard on yearly "deliverables".

In my experience, that makes it difficult to get anything too interesting done as people (due to budgetary constraints, particularly at the industrial research labs) focusing on getting the minimum deliverables done, instead of trying new things. The downside here is pretty obvious: if a DARPA program manager could specify 3 years in advance what should be achieved, then it isn't really research, more like engineering.

I guess that's why most savvy researchers only write DARPA/NSF proposals for things they've already done (but not published on); gives them money to work on the _next_ big thing :-)
My phone comes with an "off" button - you just have to press that before periods of time when you don't need any interruptions - works in and out of the car - and no idiot at the office can decide that their call is an "emergency" and thus bypass the process.

Seriously - when does this "nanny" idiocy stop?
Is there a "donate to your favorite project day?" Maybe there is and its not well known. If people would once a year, pay tribute to their most useful projects there should be some more movement in "donations".

If the geek community would participate in "donate to FOSS day" as enthusiastically as they do on "talk like a pirate day" things could get a whole lot better.

Not really. There are groups that are men's only and nobody bats an eye about it. (Sport teams, dating/relationship support groups). They just have to be something unique to men.

Any hackers in Barcelona up for Open Coffee tonight?
No, POST is typically for submitting data to some other "resource" for processing, while PUT is for storing data to a specific URL.

HTTP/1.1 RFC: "The fundamental difference between the POST and PUT requests is reflected in the different meaning of the Request-URI. The URI in a POST request identifies the resource that will handle the enclosed entity. That resource might be a data-accepting process, a gateway to some other protocol, or a separate entity that accepts annotations. In contrast, the URI in a PUT request identifies the entity enclosed with the request -- the user agent knows what URI is intended and the server MUST NOT attempt to apply the request to some other resource."

And from S3 documentation: "Objects are stored using the HTTP PUT method."

S3 and similar file storage services map particularly well to GET, PUT, and DELETE.

Yeah I agree, the fact that an HR person can easily type in your e-mail and get all your personal details is a bit much. But, with that said, you honestly should be using a different e-mail address on your job applications than your personal e-mail.
Where'd you get 25K?

I did similar work out there in 2006 (I was at Abu Ghraib) in a similar role, and I didn't make 25K a month.

I made four, with no OT, and I got a pretty nice contract-ending bonus. For the record, I considered $4K a month to be an impressive salary for someone my age... I was 19.

When I was out there, we had to wear our body-armour at all times, except when in the DEFAC (cafeteria), or asleep.

The note that they only have to wear it in transit makes me think that he's at Camp Victory aka "Camp Cupcake". Or, for the uninitiated, where Saddam used to live. It's probably (a lot) nicer than your hometown.

If it's honestly 25K, the dude must be Cheney's nephew, or that figure is in Rupees. Or I want to go back more than I thought I did.

And (from what I understand) most of the mercenaries get paid (relatively) shit money, because they're wackos from shit countries. Sure, there are some Blackwater execs, and ex-SEALs that make nice money, but most of them are there because they need somebody who's willing to be shot at, and whose almost inevitable death won't contribute much to what's already a shitstorm on the home front.

There's a few professors here at UCSD that are interested in low-power computing and data center architecture. The statistic was sited in a talk by Prof. Tajana Rosing that I attended earlier this week.

There's one guy here that is working on ways to integrate flash with the system memory; he thinks he can reduce power usage by something like 40% in a data center setting.
I think the chance that gizmodo is full of shit is much higher then the chance that Steve Jobs walks away from apple while it's turning into his vision. It seems much more likely to me that some asshat at gizmodo wants pageviews then that this analysis is right. Part of Steve's Jobs job (um) is to train execs that are ready to step into his shoes. That doesn't mean he is leaving.
I would say that aggregating publicly available data and making it searchable can be intrusive, even in seemingly harmless cases like Google Street View.

A couple of remarks on your second paragraph. I often read the view (Slashdot) that if you are in public, or publicly visible, you have no expectation of privacy. This is false in many legislations.

I cannot comment on U.S. law, but in Germany (and I presume in many other European countries), you need a person's consent before publishing their picture.

Exceptions:

a) You are in a public place and you are clearly not the center of the picture.

b) You participated in a public event (where it is likely that pictures are taken).

c) You are a public figure.

Note that even in the case of a public figure you would not be allowed to publish pictures of them engaging in sex.

I would be interested in how other countries handle this.

Having an argument about it is one thing, but there will be other startups that help people defend against this kind of aggregation and they are no less justified. For example, it wouldn't be terribly difficult to poison the databases of aggregators with inconsistent garbage.

The data they sell is crap anyway and there will be laws against it if only on the basis of preventing the distribution of false information about people. It's too much work to keep this data clean and that's why they are going to get crushed for spreading lies about people.

We need more women in startups (seriously, have you been to the meat market parties after tech events?!) ... Moreover, it'll give lonely male hackers more choice

Although you probably didn't mean it, this attitude is most definitely Part Of The Problem. It's a pain because you're right - in an ideal, evenly-divided environment, there would be a lot of within-group dating, and everyone would be fine with that.

The problem is that, as long as there's a significant imbalance, the constant romantic interest is going to be seriously offputting for the few women in the group.

The men don't even need to be malicious or socially maladroit (although, let's face it, as a group hackers tend to lack social skills, which makes things much worse). What would be a perfectly reasonable level of possible romantic interest from each individual person rapidly becomes intolerable if it's all concentrated on the lone female in a big group of males. Which is why you hear so many female geeks screaming "Stop trying to date me, damn it, and look at my code!"

Ask HN: Review our app, textpanda (web-based input shortcuts for the lazy)
After getting such useful feedback on HN for typd.in this week (special thanks to huhtenberg/LogicHoleFlaw/ken), I thought I'd put our next project out there to get some more ideas.

textpanda is a simple bookmarklet that lets you define shortcuts for any text input on the web (think really simple emacs bindings). Since it's more of a quick proof of concept than anything, we're not quite sure what to add next (functions and other dynamic replacement? real user authentication? subscriptions to other users' macros?) and would love to hear what you guys think.
Ah, dammit. Goddammit all. This is bad.
Chrome: is Google losing it?
I have been trying out the google chrome browser and i was a little let down. Google used to be the hub of innovation but this browser is a disappointment.

And the list goes on....

High effort/low reward: not an attractive proposition. It doesn't attract many folks.

but no bad for an early beta though.

Chrome will come to the fore when the first applications that rely upon JavaScript compilation for performance come along - the browser is waiting for the first "killer app".

Remember that processor speed increases are no longer a given - we need to develop ways to execute more code in the browser despite that, as then we can deliver the very rich browser based applications that (for the moment) are just a twinkle in a developer's eye.
Why don't you buy the last generation of Macbook Pro which was the best machine until yesterday and it will have all the features you want(matte screen, real button, firewire) and you'll save a ton of cash if you go refurb.

I'm a girl and found the suggestion interesting. Support when you are starting is apreciated :)

Sometimes you need someone to look upon, who you can use as inspiration or for support. The closer they are to you the better you tend to feel. For example, I would look first for a local incubator (Spain) instead of aiming for a foreign one (e.g. US), but that doesn't mean the foreign ones aren't as good, just that I probably will feel more comfy on the one that's closer and consider we will understand each other better. This of course can be true or not, and I will find out eventually.

Before thinking about "does genre matter", think of the subject and change genre for something else. Does it sound normal to you? Then why the controversy when it's about genre (or race, politics or whatever)? This is just a proposition to try to bring more players into the game :)
It's not that nobody cares, it's that people are actively pissed off that I questioned the selection.

Sorry, I'm not giving up being able to make a simple observation the group may disagree with. I'm sick of the herd mentality, and you guys can vote me into the gutter and it's not going to stop me.

No-one ever deletes things. When you "delete" your account, for example, they aren't going to invalidate their last set of backups.

Any information you give to any social networking site belongs only partially to you, partially to them, and partially to the members of your network with whom you have interacted.

I think you're missing the point of the article. Contributions can take a wider form than just donations, and more to the point, there is no obligation to contribute.

A business plan, as the author says, should be based on selling the support expertise of the clever people who made the software than by begging people for money in some supposed moral obligation.

Case in point:

Red Hat is quite profitable selling support licenses to banks and insurance companies who want someone to help and someone to blame when their own guys can't fix hardcore issues.

They don't run around begging people for money.
