It's more problematic with low-end products made by child labor for instance. If they couldn't compete with other child-labor products they'd go out of business. There you need to do a more comprehensive blacklist or you're just swapping the devil you know for the ones you don't.

I'm just impressed to see a decent sounding, 5 letter .com domain for $250 (Vueta) - tempted to snap that one up myself.
This is a really great idea. One of the things which young startups often spend too much time on is picking a perfect name + brand. This is a great way to get started.

You can always iterate later if necessary, but this gives you something to use NOW, and put the discussion away and get back to real work.

Also, I love the layout. Very straightforward.
I currently subscribe to the http://justdropped.com/ mailing list which has daily domain names that he buys as they expire.. I could see something similar for your site, but with logos attached.

Also, a NewsLetter would be a great way for me to keep up with the (weekly?) new designs you add to the store.

Keep it up!

Unless your pictures are very attractive, I think you need some "game" just to get people on OkCupid to write back to you. For example I find my reply rate goes up a lot when I inject humor into my first message (whereas in real life I might save the jokes for when an opportunity arises naturally in the conversation).
Most of these domains are names of types you can easily find using tools like nametoolkit, and purchase for $10.

Nonetheless, this is a superb idea, which can become easily profitable.

I think these companies are only called consulting companies because they are a vehicle for skilled programmers, engineers, etc. to get into the country and then placed at a client as a 'consultant' to fill roles specific to projects where the client wouldn't or couldn't arrange for an H1B visa themselves.

I've always had a lot of respect for Bezos and what he's done but this lowers my opinion of him. Not only is it a petty cheap shot, it's not even true (so does he not know somehow, or is he lying?). Most tablet makers were having a hard time competing with the iPad on price. It's incredibly cheap for what it does.
The Pros & Cons of Frictionless Sharing

> which is entirely reasonable, yet he gets lambasted in the press as being "creepy" [2] based on a sensationalist snippet.

The creepiness factor in his comment, and in the way advertisers and those selling us to advertisers operate, isn't really about the information being out there. It is about being followed by an entity you don't know and have no particular reason to trust.

We don't like being followed like that, there is something in us that takes it as a threat. It is something we share with most animals and is a sensible reaction that evolved by making animals with that reaction less susceptible to certain threats (in the wild, being followed usually means you are a target for something you are not going to like, probably involving claws and teeth). Even in modern life it can be a useful reaction - if someone follows you down an alley you get ready to take action just in case that person turning down the alley after you isn't a perfectly innocent coincidence.

Being followed by Facebook/Google/any-one-else-on-the-planet-who-wants-to-sell-info-about-my-life is not the same as the physical risk that being followed in RealLife(tm) could imply, but our brains are not wired to see the difference. Anyway, people knowing more about you that you know about them can be a threat in some circumstances, or at least could put you at a disadvantage.

A secondary issue is that people sometimes want/need to hide things because other people's reactions could have unreasonable negative repercussions. If you were a gay man in a place where being so could get you strung up for what local laws (or local vigilantes) consider to be moral deviancy, "just stop being gay then you'll have nothing to hide" simply isn't an option and you wouldn't want the information "leaking" out by virtue of services giving you personalised adverts relevant to it while using facebook (or any other ad funded service) in public. That may be stretching the point a little far, but there are reasons to want to keep things about yourself to yourself (without wanting to completely disconnect that part of yourself from your private online activities) other than it being illegal, which if I remember rightly was what Eric Schmidt was talking about when he said that oft-quoted-out-of-context phrase, and sometimes something being illegal doesn't make it wrong (morality being a lot more subjective than peopel like to think - what is wrong to me might be fine to you).

There are some lovely domains in here. Very cheap in comparison to their worth!
It sucks that when this post becomes more popular, most of them (if not all) will be taken.

Serves me right for having worked almost 4 years for a very large mobile games developer here in Argentina and having seen 40% of my paycheck being eaten away by inflation in the last few years.

I simply can't afford these domains, I would have loved to have them turned into full blown sites, just for fun!

Congratulations to the people that purchase them... please treat them nice :)
So these ACM people are legit? I get tons of junk mail from them and I don't even live in the States.

One piece of information that's missing in this article:

Nokia closed down its plant in Bochum, Germany in 2008 and transferred the jobs to Romania in Eastern Europe where labour is cheaper. This damaged their reputation in Germany significantly. The Bochum theatre put up dumpsters where people could get rid of their Nokia phones and replace them with a competitor product.

It's not a small irony that just 3 years later, the employees in Romania lose their jobs as well.

In retrospect, the people in Bochum got really lucky because Nokia agreed to pay millions to be able to shut down their plant.

Edit: The Bochum theatre also produced a play at the end of 2008 with the prophetic title "Connecting People - Erinnerungen an einen Handy-Hersteller" (memories of a cellphone manufacturer), its cast consisting of former Nokia employees:

You say that these publishers add value, but you don't really say what the value is these days.

Aside from review and editing, what else is really needed these days? Just throw it up on a website, make sure it gets indexed, and that's all that is really needed in the Internet age. For things like plagiarism, that really easy to detect if the source and copy are both online.

Custom Mobile Application Development – Hiring the Right Developer for the Job 
Information technology market over the globe is seeing increasing demand for mobile applications.
If you consider what a capable developer can bring in just in salary in a month you realize what a ridiculous chicken-scratch game this is. Making indie apps may be fun but it's a dumb way to try to earn money.
Executives make multiples of those numbers. Why should it be unheard of that any software developer ever make that?
Looks like a great idea, very clever, but I'm not sure about the pricing. I would love to use something like this as a small developer, but $250 is a bit much for a domain and a logo given my small-time budget. On the other hand, companies with a larger budget would probably just have something like this done in-house. So I guess I'd ask: who do you see being the target market here?
I'm assuming the blog the kid used the plugin on had all sorts of info and links to his Twitter account, etc.

They left in his real name in one of the screenshots BTW.

IMO it's quite an entertaining SocEng attack. And he just wanted to get the latest version of a commercial WP plugin! hahaha! I was kind of expecting something more malicious: I thought either the source file he requested contained login credentials or other sensitive info, or he was going to send back a "patched" version with a backdoor in it.

Odd, how he went through all that trouble. Anyone know what the plugin does BTW? I haven't looked, is it that good? :)
Their software has not "always" been lacking. T9 for example was a wonderful innovation, and looked magical at the time. They were destroying the competition back in the 90s thanks to great UI work on very limited devices.

They've lost the plot when they started to ignore the limitations of Symbian, probably because they had invested so much on it very early in the game and so it had gained almost 100% mindshare among their engineers. Then the iPhone came out and the leadership lacked courage to tell engineers that Linux was the future and they should all retrain RIGHT FUCKING NOW; instead there was a lot of internal politicking, keeping Maemo at bay and trying to put lipstick on the Symbian-UI pig.

Some of those layoffs are deserved, in a way, since resistance to change was coming from below as much as from above. Shame that it took an idiotic leader making the worst possible choices to make people see the error of their ways.
That's what I'm saying. If you make half of what you'd make in salary at a full-time job you're doing much, much better than most indie iOS devs. Hacking on apps may be fun but it's not a smart way to make money.

Most people are barely recouping their investment in hardware and the iOS developer fee. It's like one of those mail-in schemes in the back of old comic books.
Ask HN: What's wrong with Diaspora?
I've noticed an overwhelmingly negative vibe about Diaspora here. It seems to be widely deemed to be a conclusive failure. This is at odds with my personal experience of it, which is that it works well enough, and many people are interested in switching to it. Among my friends (particularly the non-techie ones) it has a lot more buzz than G+. For a long time I was very much of the opinion that Diaspora was all hype and no visible product, but now it's easy to sign up[1] and start using it I'm wondering what the problem is. Is there some reason I should be discouraging its use?

Some complaints I'm aware of are:

* It's had undeserved hype and funding

* The alpha release had egregious security issues

* It still has some visible bugs

* Its privacy selling point is a bit overblown

* It doesn't have users

At this point none of these seem to me like good enough reasons not to be using or recommending it. Is there something I'm missing?

unfortunately a logo and 2-syllable odd-sounding name don't make a brand. however, as a cost-effective way to get a name and image, it's relatively pragmatic, especially for those who need it NOW.
This is domain squatting pure and simple. Just because it's dressed up with a pretty design doesn't change the fact that these guys are the exact sort of bottom feeders that we should be blackballing from our industry.

Oracle calls Autonomy CEO a liar or an idiot
It's an interesting question.

I would hazard a guess (with nothing really to back me up other than a quick google search and my memory of the data I have seen presented on this subject in the past) that perl has a slight performance edge (cpu and memory) over python and more so over ruby. That isn't a great argument though, since they are all in roughly the same performance class.

I think the main difference between those three languages is cultural, rather than technical.

So to answer your question I guess I'd say: "Because you find the perl culture and community (and it's technical mores - such as it's approach to testing, documentation) more to your taste than the other languages". Basically if you prefer "TIMTOWTDI" to "pythonic".

But practically speaking, given the similarity between them, I'd guess you're likely to stick with the first of those you learn thoroughly, unless you change job or are swayed by "Perl is dead!/Perl is ugly!", "Ruby is slow!/Monkey patching is evil!" or "Whitespace-sensitivity is bad!/Broken lexical scoping is broken!" or whatever other clarion call washes through various blogs.

Personally, I really like the partial static checking perl does with strict mode on and I feel a little horrified that python doesn't provide that safety net (I don't know if Ruby does).
That s realy funny
Why the news must be uncomfortable | TED talk
I despise the blatant profiteering of domainers - they're sucking value out of a system that in some sense should "belong" to society, and providing nothing in return.

But these prices aren't completely unreasonable, they come with (generally quite decent) logos, and they would save a startup countless hours of faffing over domains.
It seems like it should be governments who fund the publishing and peer review services, they are already funding most of the research. Having private corporations as middle-men just doesn't make sense, even if they are non-profits.
I'm not sure it's as evil as you make it out to be. It's certainly not clear-cut domain-squatting.

They're adding value to a domain & selling it at (what I believe to be) a reasonable price. They're clearly investing time coming up with ideas for domains that they can create decent logos for. You would easily pay $500+ for a 'good' logo.
Isn't this the best way so far to do these things? It turns asynchronous code into synchronous. I seem to remember Guido recommending this approach too.
1. Not using copyrighted names.

2. Adding value

3. Not using means such as using expiring names

4. Not using "bottom feeder" tactics like parking page advertising.

From wikipedia: cybersquatting:

" or using a domain name with bad faith intent to profit from the goodwill of a trademark belonging to someone else"

What goodwill or trademark are they misusing?

[Edit: For formatting, but couldn't get it to look like I want.]
Seriously, it sounds like Python handles these sorts of cases much better, with "yield". I wonder why everyone suddenly discovered JS for asynchronous programming and rushed to it when Twisted has existed for years. Is it because of V8?
There is a significant difference between "supports" and "optimized and designed for". I think Heroku is awesome, but I'm still going to give them at least another 9-12 month or so to sort out all the kinks before I'd trust them as a python PaaS.
As someone said recently, if libraries didn't already exist, publishers would be doing their best to stop them happening.
The JSTOR incident shone a light on the practices of JSTOR and journal publishers in general and highlighted just how restricted access is for the general public to research we have all either fully or partly paid for and we fully expect to be in the public domain.

Further, it created a martyr for the movement of open-sourcing articles and to be quite frank about it, the journal owners are now very afraid of their monopolies crumbling to this movement. They knew this day would come, but the speed with which this is gathering pace is terrifying.

If only Mr. Lynch had just come out and said, "yes, we also went to Oracle to see if they might be interested". Then he would have had much less trouble =)
For some value of "supports" that apparently doesn't leave Jacob comfortable that it gets equal developer attention at Heroku. Of course the other language support could be perfect ... I'll prefer to trust the opinions of people I know with no apparent axe to grind.

From practical experience using sites as a selling tool, a 20% faster load time won't change my sales figures. Something that's significantly higher production value in look, implying a more successful company, will.
CQRS is too complicated
Or, as the author notes, sometimes you just realize the idea isn't going to work, isn't worth trying to retrofit into a sub-par result, and you're about to lose a rare opportunity to talk to the make-it-happen person. He came up with a better idea on the spot, and it worked.
I phrased that poorly. You are absolutely right, peer reviewers are unpaid.

I also have a big problem with the fact that journals receive a perpetual copyright to the work instead of it becoming an open license 6-months to a year after publication.

Returning to the cost issue. The cost I am referring to comes from paying for the software to manage the peer review process and the time it takes to build the relationships to have enough reviewers available to deal with the first submission and the revision that will almost likely occur.

To put out a single issue with 20 articles can easily involve 50 reviewers and at least 40 authors.

It is the social science and humanities journals that have real problems with getting papers ready for print. It's easy to only think about scientific journals but the reality is a great deal of researchers only have sufficient computer skills. They will write a professional paper and do the best they can to format it but it isn't anywhere near ready to send to the printers.

Large journals can easily cover these costs. Small journals are really struggling to get by. I hear small journal editors talking about how long they will be able to survive. They want to make it work but just don't know how.

It's not an easy problem to solve.

There are domainers that own hundreds of thousands and even millions of domains. Those are the guys making life suck.

These guys are actually helping, by doing the hard work of sifting through the relatively few good ones still available and charging a fair price for the effort.

Replying to myself here... Of course, it depends on the original load time. Changing the load time from 2.5 sec to 2sec - not that useful for a sales page. Changing the load time from 25sec to 20sec - well, there's a lot more work to be done, but that WILL have an impact on sales.

I haven't seen that much difference in basic food prices, at least not enough to account for the huge disparities in cost of living I've seen in calculators like these. I lived in Brooklyn for two months earlier this year and restaurants and little boutique organic foods shops were very expensive there were also big supermarkets that were pretty affordable. The only thing that was far more expensive than, Houston, for example, was rent.
