I'm so-so on this concept.

I'm sure it'll be a reasonable success and generate you some cash, but on the other hand, seeing someone holding a creative grab bag of interesting domains and concepts that they're only hoping to flip for a profit makes me uneasy.

There are a lot of clever, interesting names here though, and I can definitely see someone who has a concept without a a title seeing a lot of value in paying $250 for something like this. It's more than likely a hell of a lot cheaper than most domain squatters (which isn't exactly what i'd call this) would charge for the domain alone.

My major fear - the owner of this content might find someone who uses a similar name as one of their concepts-for-sale, and attempt to sue them without being able to properly verify if said person actually ripped them off, or just themselves came up with the idea coincidentally. It's one of those slippery slope endeavors.

I'm torn over whether I like "Feastable", "WhamBox", or "PixelKeg" the most. Definitely some great names here.

Very interesting to see how Google works. They could very easily become evil. Here's hoping they stay on the straight and narrow. Its strength lies in its multipronged positive feedback loop. But while it may be easier to thwart incremental advances from competing companies as was the case in the GPS kerfuffle, unlike with most industries a giant leap forward overnight can happen in the Internet age. That would easily put them in a negative feedback loop which they may not be able to recover from. That's what's best about the Internet, there is very little distance between a good idea and implementation to consumption by the masses. The roadside is littered with previously high-value tech companies who were devalued overnight by a competing idea.

Flags are a binary mechanism just like voting, and as such are vulnerable to precisely the same epistemic problems. As you say, comments offer a way of demonstrating expertise, not merely asserting it.

For this reason someone interested in a disputed topic such as this will either have to read the comments, in the hope of discovering the main lines of argument and improving the likelihood that the picture they form is correct, or suspend their judgement until such a time as better evidence (in this case, peer review of the claimed proof) is available.

> Silk seems to be an Opera Mini-like proxy browser, where the client asks the server to fetch and render the page, and then receives what’s basically a bitmap image. This makes for very fast browsing and little data traffic.

I doubt it's basically a bitmap image, because you lose the ability to highlight the text. My guess is that they'll essentially rewrite the markup, css, resize/recompress images and deliver it all in a single compressed stream that can be decompressed and laid out with something akin to absolute positioning.

It could even be that the assets are encoded inline using data uris, but that seems like a stretch.

Ask HN: Why is UX being so important yet so overlooked by businesses?
Even for large enterprises with enough $$$ to spend, a good portion of them either don't really get what UX is about, or have really bad UX despite having 'pretty bells and whistles'.

Is it because of UX's intangible nature and therefore is difficult to measure? Or is it because businesses simply do not understand or care about it enough?

What is your opinion?

So malinvestment is a good point but money does not disappear. For malinvestment to happen someone has to make good investment... Therefore the money does not disappear it goes to the person with better investments... Let me put it this way money transfers ( what i meant by it hides in someones pocket)

Coming back to your house... When you commissioned the house you paid for materials, salaries etc... therefore transfer of money.... Next when u bought the land u invested in a certain property for a certain value, the value was destroyed (due to whatever reason tsunami etc) so you lost money but the person who sold it to you gained (aka transfer of money)

Now if you talk about which building is worth building thats a whole new debate... Sorry I didn't explain it before... I was just talking about how banks usually have pretty good ways to make money... They invest in competitors cause no matter who wins... They get the interest...

At a premier journal in my field, a "managing editor" is paid for the 25+ hours/wk of work assigning submissions out to the SEs/AEs (based on area of focus), and—more importantly—following up with them on their progress. As I understand, he's also responsible for managing itineraries and speaking engagements for the editor-in-chief, who travels regularly evangelizing (and getting feedback on) the top journal in our field.

We have a couple of EICs for major journals at our school, and I suspect (but do not know for certain) that the journal subsidizes their conference attendance too, so that the journal's senior editorial staff can meet in person at least annually.

My point is: don't constrain your cost focus to just distribution. There's more to running any organization than initially meets the eye.

> Callback spaghetti is a sign that you're doing something wrong.

I have some Node.js code that does direct uploading via Amazon's S3 multipart uploading API -

* multipart form processing, callbacks
* each part requires multiple S3 API calls, callbacks
* parse XML results from the API, callbacks

Granted not all workflows are this complex. But many are - and they will result in callback hell. But saying that people are doing something "wrong" is at odds with the reality that complex workflows are a fact of life.

One consequence of the second incompleteness theorem is that no consistent arithmetic theory of sufficient strength can express its own consistency. One way of proving such a theory inconsistent is therefore to find a proof within that theory of its own consistency.

A complete theory is one in which, for any statement φ in the language of that theory, either φ is provable or ¬φ is provable within that theory. Note that this is a different sense of completeness than that proven in Gödel's Completeness Theorem, which states that any sentence satisfied by all models of a theory is provable.

A consistent theory is one which contains no contradictions. Because mathematics generally employs classical logic it is explosive [1] and any contradiction allows one to derive any sentence whatsoever in the language of the theory as a theorem. Because of this an alternative way to say that a theory is inconsistent is to say that all the sentences in the language of the theory are theorems.

The other day me and my business partners spent about 3 hours between us throwing around brand names and checking out .com's - we found a name we love and now we are getting a logo/branding piece done for it.

The costs in terms of our time, plus the design time are going to be way more that $250 - so if this has something you want and can use, great. If not there are literally millions of other names out there.

These guys, IMHO, are adding value. If you think not - fair enough, but they aren't selling just a domain. They are selling time saved. Some peoples time won't be worth as much, some people are already talented designers. For the rest of us, this is a great idea.
AppBrain stream: social Android app discovery
I absolutely agree. The pay-for-publishing model is heavily disadvantaging towards smaller research institutions, independent researchers or young researchers.
In the node.js project I just finished, I was also forced to write some "async" c# for a separate system that the node.js project communicated with. Now, I'll be the first to admit, I don't know c#... but, it was the first time I had used both node.js AND c#. I have to say, the c# approach was a horrible exercise in pain and agony. I started to run into significant nesting in node.js, then realized it was because my approach was flawed. I abstracted more, and I also started using async.js (https://github.com/caolan/async), and everything was well in the world.

oh, its a podcast! I couldn't tell at first. The front page is just images and captions, with no immediately visible info on what I am looking at. As the top center image is shoes, I thought it was some weird storefront... at least until I moused over something.

They might want at least a one-liner saying what that page is. There is such a thing as a design that is TOO minimal.
When you're at the beginning stages, trying to get something built and possibly seeking seed money, spending your time naming, designing logos, and branding is sort of like spending all your money on a nice office before you have a product.

By all means, do the things you talk about when it's time--but that time is usually not at the beginning.

In my opinion there is little in the way of yardstick metrics for UX quality. I definitely do not think it's because businesses don't understand the importance. The existence of buzzwords like UX are in fact evidence that businesses recognize it's importance. But how do you subjectively quantify the quality of user experience/interface design? It's difficult at best for the smartest of us, as it inevitably requires both designing for the lowest common denominator (amongst your userbase) while at the same time streamlining for the most experienced of users.

In my personal opinion your assertion that it's overlooked by business is not really accurate... it's more that business people don't know how to approach UX design, nor how to recognize talent in UX design.

Just my 2 cents.
No! A $7.99 domain name and what looks like to me a $99 logo thrown is not a steal or a good deal. Let me come at this way: Can I get the domain off of you for %80 off the $250 price ? I presume that the answer is no, because it's a lipstick on pig product designed to glorify domain squatting.

>Or are you making the point that all these languages are "fast enough" and so a perf difference between them isn't important for real-world use?

I'm saying perl might be faster at some loop that adds 1s together, but ruby might be faster at networking and python might be faster at method calls, etc. When you weight it all together it equals out.

In other words, if you wrote a big enterprise trading application in all 3 languages (i.e. write it 3 times with the best practices of each language) and then only looked at charts showing various performance benchmarking results of the application I think you'd find all 3 very close in performance.

>Do you know if the rendering etc is in python or is it at python UI on a C core?

I thought it was last time I looked but I'm not certain.
Nokia 600 full specifications,Review and Price
Good read, but what the article only mentions at the end is that the first step for all of these strategies is:

"Work really, really hard."

Writing a book, creating a whole icon set, or creating GitHub are all much harder and more time-consuming than doing client work.

So I think the biggest barrier to earning money while you sleep is probably the amount of work involved, not the lack of ideas.
So you expect to get a logo for free with that logic. What they are selling here is a somewhat pre-built brand. If you want a $10 domain, spend the time to think of one that isn't registered. This will definitely take at least a few hours. Do you value your time? 6 hours spent thinking of a domain name is "free", but it took 6 hours during which you could be doing billable work, at a very low ~$40/hr
Thx, duly noted. We are working on a suggestions feature though not sure it will address this particular issue.
Classic ugg boots for sale
True a $8 name - but times the (hu)man-hours to find a great one, and add a decent looking design. I've not had luck with either $99 logo designers, nor the logos they create - plus my time to brief them, provide feedback and pay them once 'something' is settled on.
While I share your suspicion that anything requiring judges to give a score is probably not a sport, if there's one thing bodybuilders and "fitness" models are masters at, it's manipulating water retention. They've got it down to a dangerously scary fine art.

... on the not-so-glorious side of the ledger, they probably know more about steroids than anyone short of an ex-East German sports scientist.
The difference between the two is that work for a client can typically only be sold once. Work like creating an icon set or writing a book can be sold infinitely and require virtually no post-support. Additionally, those streams of income can continue while you're working on more client work if that's your thing.
This was the case years ago but by now with all the people working in python and ruby I don't believe for one second that CPAN has some commonly needed library that they don't.

And if your only consideration is the size of the library, don't bother with perl. Java's library collection dwarfs it easily.
