Why not? Video chat is probably a pretty standard multimedia networking class project?

Or does bi-directional video streaming mean something different that what I assume?
I wonder if people at startups like ChartBeat, mix panel, clicky feel like the market is validated or feel worried. Or just keep focusing on doing a better job than competitors.
Do you see all tags you saved there? Did you browsed by tag after the transition? For example your programming tag collection have small set of links. I am sure there was hundreds of them before the transition. I haven't faced password reset problem though. I exported my bookmarks after hearing about transition. Lucky me :).
Yeah I think it would have been nice to stay out there, but my last team member was in NYC, as well as a nice support network (investors, free rent [living at home], friends). I might go back out there at some point :)
Unfortunately our editor's response to everything is "it's a staffing problem."

Our newsroom, if you want to call it that, spends most of the day re-writing (fluffing) press releases to get a paper out the next day.

Corporate has our system lock down, we don't have access to our database tables and responses to feature requests, like comment promotion, are usually..."We'll bring that up in a meeting."

In my opinion people tend to feed their ego behind a keyboard. A lot of people bite their tongue in face to face conversations, only a few will speak out and make their opinions heard.

Maybe some kind of pay-wall for us would be a possible tool against trolling.

Thank you for your reply.

Its a foolish dispute ... but the new hire's insistence on the CTO title is a red flag to me as well.

I'd just create a Vice President of Technology position, and offer it to the co-founder ... if he doesn't go for it ... offer it to the new hire ... if he doesn't go for it ... I'd keep looking.
Jesus Christ yes. I want a keyboard on my phone. Unfortunately RIM's software sucks, and everyone else's keyboards suck, so I'll be settling for a piece of glass.
I completly agree, the article just mentions that he wanted them to remove it.

There was too much randomness in his evolving. When I was evolving agents for my M.S., I used tournament selection (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tournament_selection) with an 80% crossover rate for the top 2 winners and only a 5% mutation rate on the offspring. I also started off with a population of 500 individuals. This approach seemed to produce much better results.

I don't know about that - with a population size of 500, every generation is very expensive to test, so your runway is a lot shorter.

I set up a test using your parameters, and it seemed to take an average of about 50 generations to evolve "Hello, World". That's a total of 50x500=25000 fitness evaluations (assuming you've cached results properly) to solve the problem. Whereas with a population size of 20, 100% crossover and mutation rates, the average is about 150 gens, for 150x20 = 3000 evaluations, beating your parameter set by a factor of 8.

Which doesn't mean much, other than that this is not such a good problem to use evolutionary methods on.
Scala strikes a good balance between flexibility of Ruby, power of functional languages, and type safety of staticly typed languages like Java. I've seen as much scala adoption from rubyists as I have from java devs.
So, it wasn't necessarily that people would no longer pay for music and that the record industry was dead, it was the reluctance of the industry to adapt to technological advancement as well as social behavior trends. Spotify, and to a lesser degree, Pandora, identified this trend and bridged the gap between piracy and the record labels. I wonder what Lars Ulrich from Metallica thinks...

I agree with him not wallowing in self pity but it seems that his decision to move back to NY was hasty.

I'm not saying he should have stayed in PA but should have at least spent more time exploring his options here in the Valley.

I know so many developers here that are looking for good product/business people to partner with.

There are a lot of product/business people here but most of them have just an idea and looking for somebody to execute them without much to offer anything in return..

I felt that Josh is one of the exceptions and would have found a good technical co-founder here.

All valid comments -- I think that ultimately team is the most important, followed by product, which is why I moved, and we were basically doing a reset. We had stuff without him, but I wanted to build the company around him/me rather than the team we had...but agreed in part, for sure

This is a sloppy abuse of typefaces. You can already base64 your icons in CSS, and you can already package them in sprites automatically with tools like Compass.

This creates more problems than it solves. IE9 will have SVG and SVG support gets better every day.
I really think that siesta should be legalized in the workplace. How much time do we really spend on actual work during that 8-hour period at the office? At least 20% of that is wasted.

When working from home you can maximize your working time. You are not forced inside the 8-hour box.
Not true. You can use :before and :after pseudo-elements.

Working from home probably demands more discipline that when your working in a corporate office. It is not for everybody. The slackers cannot thrive in a home-office environment :-)
"Perhaps in the future you should consider projects that you can work on yourself without being too dependent on others."

How can you build a real company without being too dependent on others?
Here's one of many things you won't learn in that class: NAT traversal http://www.h-online.com/security/features/How-Skype-Co-get-r... Not to mention tuning compression in real time for network properties, echo cancellation, audio/video synchronization, volume leveling, helping users find each other, and privacy settings. I've never done a streaming project and those are just the problems I can think of off the top of my head - I'm sure there are more interesting problems as well.
Have you considered changing it? Surely there's an A/B test you can do.

You have a good point about people who hide behind anonymity just to cause damage. Thankfully, the latest generation of Internet forums has been able to keep these voices confined to places where they don't cause any damage, or, in the case of /b/, in an environment where they can actually generate something worthwhile.

I'm not sure we will ever see a society which is so diverse and open that many of the views we see in internet forums could be brought into the wider public area. It would be awesome if this happened, because you often see groups of people who have interests and views which are considered unfit in most public gatherings (a mundane example that many of us are familiar with is simply admitting that you're a nerd and talking about a technically complicated subject), but which could flourish if the people who have them were brought together. There is an idea of "the normal" which almost everyone tries to adhere to, while repressing the ideas and impulses they really care about.

In the meantime it is still very valuable to have a place where it's possible to be honest. There are way too many games and too much acting in Western society. This might be the case everywhere, but the West is the only culture I know well enough to be sure.

Occupy Wall Street: Interviews & Analysis
> the delicious of 2004 cant survive in today's web

The old delicious had all the features I ever wanted it for. When the "sunset" leak happened, I immediately set up accounts at pinboard and trunkly but continued to bookmark on delicious and let the others pull in from my delicious RSS feed.

Now that the RSS feed is gone, I will start bookmarking on pinboard directly. Pinboard was built to emulate the classic Delicious anyway, and has tag suggestions.

The missing feature is the equivalent of delicious.com/tag/whatever, where you would see a ranked-by-popularity list of URLs that were tagged "whatever". That was always an excellent fallback/discovery tool when I didn't get good search results on Google or a vertical search engine.

EDIT: delicious RSS is back, actually. I guess enough people emailed about it.
Break the bad cycle! Do something that will kickstart your productivity mode. Reviewing a complicated code would help you create the momentum you need.

That's life, isn't it? We all have to show ourselves in a good light if we want people to like us.

I'm married (met my wife online as a booty call/hookup), but the main lesson I remember from online dating was from the woman who commented, "...you don't sound at all desperate." I didn't understand, so after we met, she showed me a sample of messages she got from guys and I couldn't believe how absolutely awful they all came across. Other women since that verified the same thing: 99% of men they met online seemed like losers at first glance so they just hit <delete> and moved on.

Basically, sound like a friendly person with a sense of humor and you're way ahead of 90% of the rest of people looking for love & sex online.
They already have their engineering schools in much better Manhattan locations, so I doubt they will be willing to invest hundreds of millions (or perhaps billions) to build a new campus on Roosevelt island.
I don't want to be the "Let's make an open source version; it'd only take a weekend" guy, but why doesn't someone else do a good social bookmark site? What's stopping someone from providing the features that are missing in new delicious?

Also, "stem to stem" should be "stem to stern" - I don't know why stuff like that bothers me so much, but it does.

None of the authorized resellers seem to list prices either, making me think it may be intentionally confidential.
This is very sad ... on the other hand, I think a service like this would be useful in other instances. When that guy with bad breath, who always stands in your personal space is chasing you around trying to relate some interminable story, it would be convenient to have a call you have to take.
The article is for those who work from their home office. But you are right. Home and office should not be mixed. It's a bad concoction. The key is to separate the home from the office and vice versa in all aspects - mentally, physically, and spiritually.
Why choose? There are times I want to be anonymous, partially anonymous, totally identified. Sometimes I want to be in an uncivil discussion -- sometimes public, sometimes private. Sometimes moderated, sometimes not. Sometimes sterile, sometimes provocative.

Right now, the Internet is perfect for this -- pretty much any kind of "community" I want to be in exists, and I participate in the ones I want to, following the mores established there.

Study Finds Freemium Model Generates Big App Store Income
It's not like there is a terrific economic climate. These people have families to think about, saving up for retirement and paying the bills. People that depend on them. This is real life. Not all of us get to have our own successful startup or become the next Jobs, Gates, Bezos or Zuckerberg.

It's very easy to assume you know what people want. The four people I mentioned above were as much a success because of timing as much as they were because of their genius.
Great looking redesign! It'd be cool if someone added harder challenges (like CS algorithms or something) that you could use for programming interviews.

I've been using jquery in node.js for a while now in my tests. This gives me access to the DOM and all of the great stuff that jQuery gives us:

I dunno. I found dating fun. If it's a waste of time and effort, then why bother hanging out with women at all? As far as money, I certainly don't expect to pay for everything, all the time. Even the least "financially capable" of the women I dated insisted on paying when she could afford to, and often just cooked me dinner because she couldn't afford to go out.
Why don't you use SVG in your case?

I think there are 3 distinctions that we need to identify here:

1. employee that works in the traditional office
2. employee/freelancer that works in the home-office
3. employee/freelancer that works in the cloud.

These are the distinctions that define the modern workforce. Whichever category you fall into, I believe that you still have to have a home-office of some sort - may that be a dedicated room, a corner, or just a desk in the living room.

My feedback is more specific to Hipmunk in general. I want to use and love it but the prices have been off each time I try. For instance on jetblue.com right now I can get a ticket for tomorrow JFK -> AUS at 9:30AM for $423 but on Hipmunk it's $797. I'm guessing you might be pulling the price by flight time and not flight number. There is another flight leaving at 9:30 which is $797.
Yeah. Right now I'm just going with jeans since everyone says they go with everything. I guess I'll throw out the colored and patterned shorts since they're more trouble than they're worth.

"Fit is KING and much easier to understand." - Ok. I've ordered a copy of "Gentleman: A Timeless Guide to Fashion". So hopefully that will explain fit.
That's only a problem if you lack the proper workflow. If you design your icons in Illustrator using the pixel grid, you can export at any size while remaining pixel-perfect.
I think that's one of the many benefits of working from home. Yes, you have to follow a strict rule of professionalism when working from home-office, but not to the point that it becomes rigid. You have the option to be casual. Choosing which time you are most effective is a critical key when working from home.

Startup rule #313: If you have to ask a reseller how much it costs, you can't afford it.
Interesting, but this is a really naive (and outdated) NLP technique for analyzing sentiment. The researchers are injecting an enormous amount of bias by choosing apriori what words are considered positive and negative - they'll also miss bad spellings, abbrevs, sarcasm, etc. I worked for a company doing similar analyses (but with different techniques), and I've heard of margins of error as bad as 40% for this type of analysis. You might be better off flipping a coin.

> The Playbook is more business orientated

People say this, but I disagree. They shipped with working Flash and no email. If you look at their actions instead of what reporters and RIM's marketing team say, I think it's very difficult to call the Playbook a "business orientated" device.

All of their commercials even boasted about the Flash capabilities and the HD-movies-that-keep-playing-when-you-multitask-away. Business tablet? Yeah right.
1and1.com and Collection agency
We were hosting 2 dedicated servers with 1and1 for a few years paying around $600 a month for both. however in the past two months due to some increase traffic between the two servers tehmselves (web server & databse server) the bandwidth spiked so they billed us $7500 each month. so now we owe $15000.

When creating the account i made the mistake of putting my own name (canadian resident) but used our business (registered in the states) visa card. the address used is also a states address (my partners old home address).

so now 1and1 is sending the amount to collection agency. Is there anyway they can link this account back to me just based on my name? even though the visa is a comapny visa and the address is an US address when i live in canada.

the collection agency is NCO. can we usually sort out a deal with them to meet half way or something? i just dont want this to ruin my credit history.

What's interesting is if Google can offer this to webmasters, then somewhere inside Google they can tell about 90% of how many people are online in the internet and where they are.

Obviously not an exaggeration, it's just a mapreduce query of all that data from every service they own.

I don't have a single google service on my sites but I must be a super-tiny minority.
Diigo is a great alternative, and it has a free plan too. The feature set they offer is so impressive that I moved on to the 'Premium' plan the same day I signed up.

Oh, what a thoroughly misleading post.

One thing to keep in mind is that projects like Dribbble and Pictos would've not nearly as successful if they were not launched by people with a lot of existing exposure. Getting noticed and acquiring critical mass that would self-propel project's marketing is a really damn big issue.

Second thing to notice is that all listed examples are of an exceptionally high quality. The title of the post sort of implies that you can just ruffle through your recycle bin, pick something that doesn't completely suck, stick it on a website and it will magically earn you $$$ in your sleep. It will not. Regardless of how by the byproduct is, it will still require a lot of attention and effort to be brought into a marketable state.

Going back to Pictos as an example. It would've long disappeared from the radar if Drew would've not been very busy promoting himself (and Pictos) on Dribbble and in other places. He might not be working on the Pictos much, but he certainly puts a lot of effort in keeping it afloat.
