I disagree, I think there are plenty of social groups where this type of media isn't looked down upon at all. Same with shooters... ect.

If your goal is to chase immediate gratification (as many a person seems to do), you'll be better served by metrics that reflect this aspect of things, instead of deciding to spend time doing something you think will be immediately gratifying, and getting something else in return.

Good for society? Decidedly no.

Unavoidable because it better serves demand, I think probably.

At the same time... I think if these sorts of metrics become ubiquitous, people will become more acutely aware of the distinctions between quality and gratification value... so I don't think these things are only a symptom.
I counted last night that not only was the first page 30/30 Saint Jobs, but the second page was at least half Jobs.

Really, the man made an impact on everyone. I wonder why it took until he died for everyone to realize it?
You can look forward soon to a project code named, Tempus for the time being. It will be a fully featured Time Management & Invoicing software(web app) written by and for Freelancers & Dev Shops alike, with tie-in options for accepting online CC payments and Basecamp - ALL at an affordable price. Even a client-count limited FREE version. I've been contemplating a blog of the design, and development process and posting to HN, but didn't know if that might be too boring even for all us nerds. My competion would be companies like Cashboard and FreshBooks. Let me know what you think!
That one disappeared to page 3 rather quickly.
The late Mr Jobs. It's happened a few times before.
Excellent nuttiness! Odd sentence structure, some spell-check-acceptable misspellings ("hear" for "here"), inability to see beyond its own prudishness. A fine vintage, indeed!
Ah, yes. I had assumed it had something to do with the death of Steve Jobs.

Not all of that happens in 48hours, there's a lot of strategizing that happens before the competition, and a ton of work that happens afterward. BUT, you can create a hell of an MVP in 48 hours if you know what you need to do.

3.5" is very practical. Any larger it will surely fall out of your jeans pocket. And the screen is enough to complete all tasks since it is a productivity and communications device.
Worrying about keeping the information private is inconsistent with posting it publicly.
hardly. exploiting the vulnerability is clearly and objectively illegal. It is likely to affect not only the company itself but also any innocent customers one might defraud.
I guess then, it depends on execution. If you're combining both of these numbers into one single metric of "goodness", then you'll just be accomplishing Pahalial's point of "legitimizing 'poor taste'". If, however, you can expose this information separately and well, then perhaps it will add value.

Personally, I'd like to break down the "rewatchability" metric into more components, to really get at the heart of the matter, like others here have commented. Pace, quality, fun, emotional impact, length, genre -- these are the things that really matter. But now we're getting into movie geek territory.

Speaking of movie geek -- I can't believe you left out the most interesting thing in that blog post. Where can we see a breakdown of what movies are where in that scatter plot? I want to know what those outliers on the high quality / low rewatchability scale are!
>It's actually more like playing a video game within a video game

I was in one of the larger player alliances before I quit;

I'd compare it more to having a second job within a video game.

By the end I spent more time working in excel and managing people (read: herding cats) to prepare for the game than I did playing the game.
The mistake there was precisely that they didn't see the clones as competition.

yea u seen the same exact thing but different post
Glen it basically comes down to a genre by genre breakdown I think. If you're looking for a comedy which should inherently have high rewatchability, if any are rated as low then I can assume I should avoid them. For example, in college my buddies and I alternated watching 40 Year Old Virgin and Grandma's Boy for an entire semester. Neither would have the best quality ratings, but they were fun and sure had high rewatchability.

Now take the other end of the spectrum of film like Black Swan or even some slower paced films. I love 2001 A Space Odyssey but am not rushing to rewatch soon (though it has top quality) because it is way too slooow for me. Or take some dramas that while interesting on first glance don't really merit another watch.

Basically I think you should start with a top down approach by genre, and if something like comedy then the dominant factor is rewatchability but then for others it may be "quality" (which itself could be subdivided further into cinematographic elements for an auteur film, the musical score for a certain type, etc). But I feel like maybe you end up going down a rabbit's hole, so perhaps I'm asking more questions than I'm answering.

A lot of sunshine moment quotes on intrinsic motivation (Ezine Ready)
And then he says that the one he prefers is the one objectively correct way, which is silly. Personally, I find the minor inconvenience on the rare occasions I have to hit a corner of the 4" Nexus S one-handed is far outweighed by the increased reading comfort of the larger screen.
On the one hand, Steve Job's opinionated and stubborn nature helped craft some of the most successful consumer products in history, but tragically it may be that that same stubbornness and free thinking could very well have led to his early demise.
no other product tried so hard to drive me away as swype.

first version i tried, perfect, easy to change languages, just no non-english dict.

second version, i was downloading updates like a madman. not so easy to change languages. still no dict for non-english. harder to type in symbols i use often.

tird version. same problems. plus a change of settings to auto correct words that i had to find out how to turn off.

fourth... i don't really remember what they changed on the 4th update, maybe they made numbers as hard as the symbols now... all i know is that i'm back to the stock keyboard and after adding words like crazy to my personal dict, i don't miss swype the slightest. good riddance.

edit: remembered what they changed last... it was a mindfuck way of handling punctuation/backspace/space with the feature that delete the word right after it's typed.
in case it's not clear from the comments, op is most certainly a snapshot. surprisingly cooler than a screenshot.
That's good to hear. Admittedly, last time I stopped by was over a year ago at least.
I do not doubt that Apple not only did a lot of research on the perfect screen size, but they probably went overboard with it. They are nuts about these kinds of things. When I worked for Apple, I would always hear stories like how they created hundreds of different colored casings for the iPod mini and spent an entire week just to figure out which 5 to pick. Any other company would make that kind of decision in a matter of hours.
I think it took his death only to make the realization (and discussion) simultaneous.

Heck, I had been thinking about his impact this past weekend, and I've spent a grand total of two dollars with Apple (and own no Apple hardware).
Because they're following the dream of many people here .... start a company, raise money, turn it into something awesome.
This is a topic I'm quite interested in. I've had many product/project ideas that I think have merit, and a few that I think could be a viable business, but I simply cannot get behind the idea of giving something away for free for the ad revenue. To me, when I build a product, my personal ethos (and this is personal to me, not a moral judgment by any means) is that I want to build something for my customers that they will love and pay for. If that means I have fewer customers, then so be it, but dammit I want my customers to be my customers, not my product.

GREAT. More than worth to share.
If we agree that most OS vendors will probably ignore the copyright claim and keep using the current database, then one could put any newer updates into a "patch database", which clearly would not be under any prior copyright (and could be easily made available to everyone as the old database was).
So, I don't really buy your parable about how this will only affect future changes. If tzdata "forks", it will be between what old (possibly copyrighted) data is included.
Oh, definitely! I'm a huge fan of the Node.js Knockout.

Quick Tips for DIY Anti Aging
Nobody wants to grow old; however this is a fact of life. Yes, all of us will grow old, however what really matters is whether you are still functional in old age or not. There are positive things and negative things associated with aging. One positive aspect of aging is that it would make you wiser enough to pass on knowledge to the rest of the world. However, aging also places a toll on your body and appearance. DIY anti- can actually keep the effects of age at bay as long as possible.
I think that in the first part Fry is being very sloppy with his language, if not actually wrong, although I think I understand what he meant with it. I think what he means is more in the sense of PC open computing, like, you throw in whatever parts there are in marketplace and the thing is meant to work; like in, Google makes Android but don't know what specific hardware it will work on.
I suspect that this has something to do with the competitive nature of human beings. Publicly praising/endorsing a famous living person on one hand gives him more power, and on the other hand encourages antagonism from the detractors/enemies/competitors of that person because praising/endorsing someone is an act of aligning with that person.

Giving power to others is not something human beings naturally want to do. Neither is inviting opposition. When the subject of the praise or endorsement is dead, the whole equation changes. Dead people have no power over you, and whatever enemies or competitors they used to have are usually no longer opposed to them.

Just my two cents. It would be interesting to have a way to test this theory.

In recent years the US Congress has had a lot of success bullying other countries through the use of the banking system. By putting restrictions on the ability of US banks to do business with the target country's banks they can put a lot of stress on financial interests in that country.
This is completely true. When Pixar bought Disney for -7 billion it completely changed the atmosphere at the Disney Animation studio. The first thing Ed and John did was fire all of the executives who were making story decisions and let the storytellers go back to telling stories. There's still a lot of work to be done but things are finally back on the right track.

They aren't accurate, either; the SGS is shown as relatively larger than it actually is (not much, but when making comparisons like this, percentage points matter), and the SGS's "thumb circle" is smaller!

I guess the moral of the story is that if you have 2-inch range of motion with your thumb, you shouldn't get anything larger than an iPhone and probably can't draw consistent diagrams.
I have both, but I very often end up holding SGSII on left Hand and use right hand for navigation and keyboard input
Yeah there's no sense in combining them. Or even averaging scores, really. Using a scatter plot you can get quite a good insight into the film at a glance.

As for which movies are the outliers, that you'll find out when you're a member :)
I would upvote you 5 times if I could.

While not exactly what you're looking for, I find myself going back to http://nanocrowd.com quite often for movie recommendations.

They don't do TV shows, but their niche categories are usually pretty solid.

It works well if you can give them an example of the type of movie you feel like watching. For instance, I wanted to watch a cheesy, nerdy, thriller earlier tonight, something along the lines of Hackers and it suggested The Net, Antitrust, TRON, Live Free or Die Hard, The Matrix, Swordfish, etc. Exactly what I was in the mood for.

That's a pretty well-executed photo, though a bit stretched.
I was guilty of that yesterday.

I was looking at notebooks and thinking I want a big screen but with the keyboard in the center. I want my hands write in front of me, but I don't want to look to one side. I 'know' apple do it that way. Then I found an HP that was almost like that but the F was more left than the J was right, which are the home keys, so I thought still no good. Then I looked at the Apple and it was the same the F was more left that J was right. So I decided it must be right to do that, because Apple know best.

When using their thumb to press, how often are right handed people using their right hand versus their left hand to hold the phone?

I'm right handed and almost always am using my right hand, but the image in the article looks like the left hand is the common case.

Anyway, if the right hand is the common case then the Galaxy is actually the ergonomically superior format because you have to ask yourself, what is most commonly in the furthest position that you would be pressing with your thumb? The back button. Yet on the Galaxy, with it's dedicated button, it's well within reach.
Retina was Apple's "screen size upgrade" for the forseeable future. The devices like the Sensation and SGS II have screen resolutions of 800x480; 480x320 just wasn't going to look good next to them. Apple's stuck at 3.5" like you mentioned, so to compete with the new high-resolution (and larger screen, as a result) devices, they doubled the iPhone 4's resolution, which is a pretty decent compromise. One of the benefits of increasing resolution without increasing the display size is that your DPI skyrockets, and they jumped on that and marketed the crap out of it. The display looks "better", even if it's not larger. I would be genuinely surprised if Apple released an iPhone variant at >3.5". They might release an iPod Touch around ~3.75", but that's as high as they can really go before the 3:2 aspect ratio starts to make the device width prohibitive.
Can't help but to contrast it with the Netflix "apology" note, which basically said "we're sorry... that you're mad, suck it, we did nothing wrong". This one accepts full blame for mistakes, and that's a welcome thing.

Time will tell if Netflix did the right business move or not... but way they communicated it will certainly go down as a bad approach.

This is misleading.

The reservation fee for a small instance is $227.50 annually (http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/) but you still pay an hourly rate to run it, albeit a lower rate than for a non-reserved instance. Running a small reserved instance for a year costs $227.50 + ($0.03 x 24 x 365) => $490.3/year or $40.86/month. (This is in the US East region.)
Getting rid of pigeons easily and successfully
Pigeons are source of great discomfort for the house owner and they spread many diseases. There are many ways of how to get rid of pigeons. Feral rock pigeons are the pigeons that are found commonly. These types of pigeons are between 12 to 14 inches long. These pigeons spread disease and dirt in the house.
Another issue with five star ratings is that visually you would suspect that a 50% rating is 2.5 out of 5 stars.

However, the 50% rating is actually 3 stars. This is obvious when you list out your star options: 1,2,3,4,5. 3/5 stars visually appears to be better than 50%, but is actually exactly 50% due to the inability to choose 0 stars.

(This seems unresolvable as most people now recognize the image of 5 unfilled stars as null rather than 0%.)

I might not. Much as the hamburger isn't technically an American invention, the hamburger as we know it is. For all practical purposes it is from America, not Hamburg.

Cars-
It's true that a Frenchman made the first gas engine car, and that some of the very, very early cars (which were unaffordable and unusable by the masses) came out of central Europe. Nonetheless, it was US innovations that led to cars that were actually adopted by significant numbers.

Airplane-
I really don't know what you're getting at here. From the Wright brothers' first flight to the mass adoption decades later, the US lead the way.

Web-
The web as we know it started with Mosaic, which came out of Illinois. Even by 1995, the vast majority of internet users and sites were in the US. If one were to be pedantic, Lynx which came out of Kansas could be considered to be the start. I can only assume you're pointing at Tim Berners-Lee, who made the initial proposal for the protocol and a few proof of concept tools. He's an Englishman, but has chosen to do his work in the US out of MIT, which only goes to show the strength of the OP's argument.

I still stand by my remark that being seriously upset by that line in the article is an indicator of being out of touch with reality.
Building Powerful Confidence 
A confident athlete has the belief that he/she has what it takes to d on. The athlete who lacks confidence quickly becomes negative in thought and emotion. Negative thoughts and emotions combine to create doubt which drains confidence and takes away the ability to make things happen. When asked what he was thinking just as he began a sudden death play off for the championship of a golf tournament, Tiger Wood said, “I love it when things get messy”. Woods enjoys the intensity and pressure of the finish and optimistically believes that he has what it takes to win. He brings confidence to the course!

The graph of film "quality" versus "rewatchability" looks pretty linear to me. Why maintain two rating criteria if data shows they are practically correlated 1:1?

And nothing of value was lost...

Steve Jobs authorized biography so his kids can know him
While this is obviously the post with the most points, I just noticed that something might be broken with this. Looking for posts with over 1000 points omits the following post with 1770 points:

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2555349

Anyone know why?
Phone weight is fairly meaningless limitation in these size ranges, so battery size is mostly limited by form factor - internal components so a larger screen should give you better battery to surface area ratio and thus longer life.
I have a large number of old books in Fraktur (mostly Lutheran theology). I read so much more German in Fraktur that I find it easier to follow than the Latin script. It always amazes me that there are a good number of Germans who cannot read it at all. My wife (who also is well-versed in Fraktur, as well as the old German "saw-tooth" cursive) has had a number of German-speakers ask her to transcribe Fraktur to modern script. I mean, sure, it's different. Some of the capitals are especially strange, and there are a few more ligatures, but it's not that hard.
If any man deserved this, Steve Jobs most certainly did.
Add Einstein to this list, and three of them have the same biographer.

Walter Isaacson did a great job with Franklin and Einstein. Hopefully, it isn't too soon for Steve's biography (a bunch of Einstein's letters didn't get released until some time after his death, so a biography in 1955 would have missed some detail)
Actually this isn't very accurate. There are several posts higher than that, but they don't show up. Here are a few I remember being higher, I'm sure there are more. Granted one of them was about Steve Jobs too.
