As others have pointed out, a the point of a "phase 1 trial" is to find out how safe the treatment is. This drug passed.

Another data point. I have had no problem with my existing links (1697 of them that all seem to be present), exporting said links and have had no problems logging in or using my existing id and password.
Nice game, looks like its well polished. I'm curious how much time did you spent on the game? I assume you wrote it on your spare time and this challenge is just for educational purposes.

I guess my real question is do you think taking the challenge was worth it?

I was an early Delicious user and have 7000ish bookmarks in there which I tend to frequently. I hadn't seen or experienced any significant reasons to leave yet. I can still tag stuff, still look up links by tags.. that's pretty much all I used it for anyway.

However, if export is broken/not going to work, that changes things a bit. While I do backup every few months, having no guarantee I can save future links almost invalidates the whole idea.
I do believe there is some positive wisdom to be found in the bible - especially in the teachings of Jesus, and I tell you that as an agnostic atheist. Pity only a tiny fraction of the people who call themselves Christians actually act on those teachings.

Yep, Tonara is much farther advanced. The app turning the pages automatically is a fantastic helper when playing the piano, where your hands are constantly on the keys. It really works, and works well - I'm using it constantly.

Unfortunately, Tonara has a very limited store: Etude has Lady Gaga, Nora Jones, the Beatles etc. while Tonara only has classical composers. Also, Tonara doesn't allow users to add their own compositions, and they have publicly said that they will oppose against this public wish (http://getsatisfaction.com/tonara/topics/when_can_i_add_my_o...). Not a good strategy if you ask me.

This is still very early in the game.
I do share your concerns but I still use Chrome more often than Firefox because Firefox has some annoying issues on the Mac that don't seem to go away (stalling text entry and scrolling after a few hours of uptime being the worst)

I'm keeping a close eye on what Chrome does in terms of privacy related settings. The moment I feel that Google does indeed leverage Chrome to spy on me more than they would otherwise be able to, I'm back on Firefox. After all, Chrome has some very annoying issues of its own (window switching is broken on pages with Flash vids, and Flash keeps crashing more often than in other browsers)

I'm not convinced that blocking all ads helps my privacy interests though. The alternative to ad funding is a paid subscription model which takes away privacy altogether.
Git is too complex to learn. The internal stuff is beautiful (if you take the time to grasp it). But the UI is just horrible, in my opinion.

I love git, and use it for all of my projects. But my love for git might also be because I have spent so much time on learning it.

I don't know what it's like for other Javascript-based environments, but in mine it looks like this:

Mars.load("olympusmons.js");

var app = new Mars.UIApplication().init(1280, 720);
app.setBackgroundColour(0xFFFFFFFF);
app.startRenderThread();

var scene = new Mars.UIScene().init(app);
app.addScene(scene);

var surface = new Mars.UISurface().init(app);
surface.setSize(300, 200);
surface.setColour(0xFFFFFFFF);

var texture = surface.getTexture();
texture.setBackgroundColour(0xFF0000FF);
texture.setPixel(150, 100, 0x000000FF);

I disagree strongly with the praise for Tumblr's landing page - there's nothing there to say what Tumblr does, and no obvious link that explains the concept.

If you know what Tumblr is it might be great for conversion, but if you've stumbled across the site you have to invest effort to understand the offering.

I know this has already been stated and it doesn't add much to the discussion. However, I feel it's important to add my little two cents just so the Stripe team (and others in the same space) can hear it (again):

Please, please, PLEASE make a payments solution like this available outside the US. Europe, for instance, still lives in the dark ages as far as online payments are concerned and has plenty of startups who would jump at the opportunity to use Stripe.

Great. Who?
Start to finish was about 6 months; actual hours, I would estimate 400-500 hours. I spent a good 2-3 months probably working 30-40 hours a week on it, I took a couple of months off pretty much completely in that time too.

The challenge itself, I thought was a good starting point, it motivated me for the first month. I had a playable game at the end of the first month but it was very amateur and I really wanted it to have that polish of a 'real' game, which I am proud of, I think I managed to achieve quite a high level of quality.

It was mostly an educational thing, I did have some small hopes that I might make some proper money from it but it was never the expectation. I'm glad I did it but I don't think I would do it this year. I'd rather work on something that I don't expect to sell, the dollar signs at the back of my mind did guide my design a bit. I'd prefer to work on something I could be more proud of as a game in itself rather than as a failed product.

As an aside I recently got a really nice review from a customer who wasn't a friend of mine. It seriously made my day and was much nicer than the small amount of money I made.

Well from what I know Valve operates on pretty much the same principles (employee-driven, very flat hierarchy, high inter-team mobility and teams as interest groups more than boxes to put people in), so if you can keep the culture in and manage to only hire good cultural fits it scales at least to 260 (approximative valve headcount when Portal 2 was released)

> Nope. It doesn't have a concept of a naive* user.*

I forgot who originally said it, but you comment reminded me of this quote: UNIX is user friendly, it's just choosy about who its friends are.

And occasionally even your best friends get on your nerves, I find.
You say that with a lot of certainty. You must be crazy.

Jokes aside, you have a good point.
In the major urban areas (Cali, NY) about 50% (with quite a big margin - more correct would be 'between 40 and 55%), excluding health care insurance.

You have overloaded play in a very specific way in your response; playing an instrument. I'd have preferred it if you'd chosen something else, because I think it introduces a third meaning for play (specific to instruments) apart from both the focused play like that of a child and something an adult pursues casually (which I doubt should be called play).

My hobby (as well as my only form of transport) is motorbikes. I do it for over an hour every day. I'm definitely getting better at it, because of an iterative process of analysis and experimentation. If I just looked at it as a means of transport, I wouldn't be so eager to stretch myself; I'd be content with getting from A to B in a safe and not very efficient manner.

It's completely different to programming, so in some ways it is relaxing; it's certainly highly enjoyable; but it is also simultaneously energizing and tiring. It uses a completely different part of my brain, and gets the adrenaline going.

I think if guitar-playing was my hobby, I'd be focused on improving and having an iterative experimentation / analysis cycle. But if guitar-playing was something I did to make music, perhaps to entertain other people, then the focus is elsewhere. It would no longer be play; it would merely be doing.

What I'm getting at is that play (my definition of it, at least) necessarily implies stretch goals, doing things that you have room to improve at, because without challenge it's boring. What makes it different from work is intrinsic motivation, and hence the lack of a need for application of will.

But you're right in another respect, this is all coming down to a disagreement over the use of words, rather than a disagreement in concepts etc. The start of the presentation just rubbed me the wrong way, and I've made far too much out of this small thing...
You're not doing system programming.

On a platform-related side note: if you're not using UNIX then it's going to be pretty hard to run into the described issues. When you go with a proprietary developer platform like Visual Studio you are outsourcing a lot of little headaches to Microsoft whose job it becomes to make your life easier. The problem is if Microsoft decides to drop their clue off in the weeds somewhere you have to either start writing pleading letters to Ballmer or make a huge jump to some other platform. In UNIX you suffer a steady string of little headaches, but you have the open source ecosystem to back you up, so with enough persistence there is almost nothing that you can't solve.
Microsoft still has the better P/E ratio. 9.4 for MSFT vs 14.5 for IBM. I can't say I understand why investors would value IBM's growth potential higher then Microsoft's.

The next big milestone is when Apple is worth two Microsofts. Heh.

AW But I love throwing it all out.

My First Google Hackathon
It's interesting to me that you believe you can achieve the same kind of inner thoughts from reading books. There are many people here that have come out from trips feeling more enlightened than when they entered them. Remember also that you are in the comments for an article about a study in which it is said to increase openness. You're telling people that it won't enlighten? Do you disagree with the results of the study?

The belief you're holding is too strong since you've not been able to demonstrate any evidence for it.

cohort analysis is the best investment for us so far. without cohort, we never know if our iterations are contributing our goals -- usually it means keeping track of retention for identifying product/market fit.
I aslo had experiences which made me a much more open and eclectic person. I was about 23 years old and found the experiences to be overwhelmingly positive. At the time (70's) the counter culture was well underway and there were many fellow travellers who would advise on the importance of the setting and also (sounds kinda corny now) that one should make the whole thing sacred and not treat it as just a buzz. Also there were many apocriphal stories of people who had gone on trips and hadn't come back.

I'm curious how that works for New York City. That calculator gives quite a range. For what I make in a small town in the Pacific Northwest, it says the equivalent is something like $110k in Queens, $120k in Brooklyn, and $160k in Manhattan (I don't remember the exact numbers).

From what I've read, New York has really good public transportation, so one could live in any of those areas and work in another of them reasonably. How does that affect what companies actually pay there? Are salaries in Manhattan actually higher in accordance with the Manhattan cost of living, or does the presence of nearby, cheaper, areas bring the pay down?

What's the point? That half of your code base has already been written for you. Rewriting performance critical parts is a lot of work, and not having to rewrite a corpus reader, tree transformations, or evaluation procedure is an advantage; aside from being an excellent prototype platform. With Cython you can seamlessly combine Python code such as that from NLTK with your own optimized code. This was indeed never the intention of NLTK, but I have found the general idea of combining arbitrary Python code with optimized Cython code to work very well. The end result is a much less bloated code base in comparison to something like Java or C++.

So your argument is that (1) since every drug/substance/experience affects your mind everything is the same, (2) consuming something does not create so therefore has no utility to anybody: the only utility is 'taking action'.

These points do not stand on their own.
Everything might affect your mind but that doesn't mean that every experience is the same.
Consuming something may not make a difference to other people's lives, but it might give direct utility to yourself (for example eating food, drinking water, reading a book, watching a film.) This article was about an increase in openness. If you become more open as a result of doing something then indirectly your future actions might hold more utility to the people that you affect.

Sleep Apnea Cures
Those who seek for sleep apnea cures are usually people who are overweight. There are studies that prove the fact that many who get this kind of condition are usually heavier or they are already suffering from an underlying condition. The most difficult part about sleep apnea is the fact that this can go on for many years without being detected. The reason that it is so hard to detect is because patients who have this disease do not show any signs or symptoms while they are awake. There are two things that could tell you that it is time to find for sleep apnea cures and this is when you suffer from being generally tired in the morning and if people tell you that you snore severely at night.
