Sorry, but you're way over-optimistic if you think the 1% has the kind of intelligence (and I'm not talking pure IQ) and focus Bezos has. Bezos is more like 0.01%.

And I'd venture to say that the OWS movement wouldn't have much against Bezos. They're more against fratboys that rose to prominence and wealth through connections. And finance. Yeah, definitely finance. It's there that they sense some kind of unwarranted self-worth and wealth.
It wasn't the quality of the comment, but the fact that laluser said nothing about SSD, so I wasn't sure if that detail had been missed.
Why does Google require Adobe Flash for StreetView and Google Finance charts?
I am attempting to live a pure life by not installing Flash into anything but a virtual machine. Am I really going to have to use Bing and YahooFinance forever or is Google going to step up?

That's actually not specifically the problem with crytocurrencies. The CPU cost is dynamic in bitcoin, and has changed in the past to reflect more or less people mining new bitcoins.

The real problem with crytocurrencies is scaling transactions. In a model where every participant has to be aware of every transaction, it is extremely difficult to imagine it (quickly) handling millions of transactions a day.
I'm guessing that in the northern states, part of the year is a harsh winter and early sunset, so having kids leave school at 6pm could lead to them walking home in the snow and in the dark.

true, but as I've said here and on the site, the animations featured in the library are meant for interaction. I agree that until this tech evolves, games etc are better suited to Javascript animation (or even flash - or just let them stay in advanced languages and dedicated platforms!)

Oh, so some having _some_ consumer protection means there's strong consumer protection?

Please explain why the financial industry is so strongly against the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau; given that it will enforce laws that already exist. Why do credit card companies operate from the states with the weakest usury laws? Yes, the Supreme Court says it's legal, but why is there no federal cap on usury?

The only private recourse consumers have against bad business practices is a civil lawsuit, with the threat of high punitive damages. "Tort reform" wants to cap those damages, but promoters never suggest any alternative compensatory consumer protection. Why should I not interpret this as a reducing consumer protection?

Speaking of unions: Unions are a way for employees to protect themselves against bad business practices in the work place. (Whistle-blowing protection laws are another.) Many politicians want to break the unions, but offer no alternatives for employees facing those bad practices. Why should I not see this as politicians being aligned with business against employees?

How is it that the recent GAO Audit on "Major Conflicts of Interest at the Federal Reserve" found so many apparent conflicts of interest, and why weren't there policies in place to prevent that from happening?

Banking oversight over the last few decades (perhaps since the S&L crisis of the 1980s, but definitely in the last 10 years) has clearly not been enough to catch the numerous incidents of wide-scale fraud. These were already illegal, but where was the oversight, where are the investigations, and who is going to jail because of it?
Top Benefits of Drupal
The worst offenders here are those who host their jQuery and offer it to others on a domain that is also being used to host other web applications.

For eg. company xyz.com is a hosting company, but it also offers jQuery and other javascript at cdn.xyz.com.

A client of the company at client.xyz.com is setting a cookie for its users but sets it as xyz.com. Now everybody else that is using cdn.xyz.com will also see those cookies.

One example of this is the cloudflare CDN[1]. All of their clients and all of their hosted javascript is on the same domain. Test it out by checking the cookies your browser sends along[2], I see random Techcrunch cookies (they used cloudflare on a site)

The benefits of CSS animations are plenty. Unfortunately, support is still very scarce: the Webkit team brought the animation property to the CSS3 specification. Mozilla have only very recently added support in Firefox.

however, both Microsoft and Opera have announced support in their upcoming releases.

In my opinion, CSS animation are much easier to write than Javascript animations, and don't require external libraries such as jQuery.

Suggest PG: Put ads on HN and donate revenue

30+ Free PSD Templates
If you are lacking time and have to design a professional and complete website……then PSD website template is your tool!! Designing a complete new website from scratch can be tough, difficult and time consuming. For this you can use PSD templates, this will not only give you new ideas but will also help you do your work quickly and efficiently.
Of course! Your whole app is hosted on your server, you're already hosting a bazillion images and other files, including scripts and CSS - if your server is compromised it won't matter much whether your jquery.js is safe or not. Also, aside from security concerns, you're adding an unnecessary single point of failure to your project.

Sure, CDNs are advertised as super reliable and stable and whatnot, but all services go down once in a while. As with every monoculture, there will be large scale outages. It's something developers would be better off acknowledging and planning for upfront instead of having a heart attack whenever a service goes down "unexpectedly".
That's a good illustration of no matter how brilliant the leader is, a bad team under them and/or poor execution can lead to failure.

Even with this infighting and whatnot going on Amazon is still doing amazing things. I'd be interesting to see what it'd look like if they were able to execute everything well.

It seems that's also a crucial role of the exec - if they see something that needs to be happening and it's not, they need to get in there make the necessary changes.

People have to click the ads for revenue to be made. This being HN, an aggregator for people who spend most of their day on computers(& the web), I think it's safe to say most of us have become immune to ads, and the effort(however minimal) in setting up\managing ads would ultimately be futile. What HN could possibly do is have an affiliate link when a product is featured; I think most people would make the conscious effort to buy via HN to support it.
Ubuntu-based netbook hits South Africa at $188
I'm sure Sergey doesn't dictate, but he does set direction, and that's what is called for here.

Also, I don't care if he was joking, it was inappropriate considering it was such valid criticism. Nothing is intimating that they get this at a high level and his joke just underscored that.
The smallest plan for the netbook includes 100Mb of data per month. Not sure if this is enough to cover even security updates...
Although, good idea anyway.
Its neat and useful.
I would pay a small sum to read / post to HN, especially if I can avoid ads. I don't care what they do with that money.

I do not use an ad-blocker. I wouldn't if HN got ads, but it'd be a shame.
In fairness to the author, he only used event driven servers everywhere. The default assumption would probably be that this was the highest throughput approach, but ignores the sheer maturity of Jetty vs Aleph. I doubt the numbers for ruby would be as good if he'd used WEbrick.

> People have to click the ads for revenue to be made.

Is that true? I remember someone saying that ad-blockers were evil because the website got revenue for views, not just clicks, and ad-blockers were killing that revenue.

(http://arstechnica.com/business/news/2010/03/why-ad-blocking...)

>There is an oft-stated misconception that if a user never clicks on ads, then blocking them won't hurt a site financially. This is wrong. Most sites, at least sites the size of ours, are paid on a per view basis. If you have an ad blocker running, and you load 10 pages on the site, you consume resources from us (bandwidth being only one of them), but provide us with no revenue. Because we are a technology site, we have a very large base of ad blockers.

Maybe Steve imagined something like the European system. You go to school until 5/6pm but you do your whole homework in school and the afternoon is for that and other activities to broaden the mind.

Otherwise, that's a stupid idea. In Germany teachers are civil servants so they can't build unions, they can't get fired too, but they can pushed off their position when they are bad teachers.
History of Fiestaware
Try attacking it from a different angle: The first thing he does is post a link to a google blog post that clearly states that they are releasing a new and changed version of google reader, and later on talks about changes to the API can ruin peoples businesses.

Now, if he really was talking about google reader being retired, and not just the API, that would mean that he in no way, shape or form could have read the blog post he himself initially posted a link to.

My best guess is that it simply is a poor choice of words, and that he figured since he was posting on the webpage of the API, he simply skipped the word API.

It's the difference of knowing what a dollar is worth. Imagine if the US devalued the dollar and paid off their debts immediately with some other currency. All of those bondholders would be mightily pissed. Because their bonds are worth pennies.

Provinces and smaller countries can't do this. The value of their bonds will always be compared to the dollar (unless another currency becomes the standard).
That is how all currency valuation is based.

I'm thankful to Betty Edward for "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain". This is the best book i've ever read on arts/drawing subject. First, it teaches you to see things as they are, without reasoning (mute your left brain). Hold on it (see details with your right brain). And then, it teaches you to copy what you just saw, again without reasoning. One could understand the true meaning of "Good artist copy, great artists steal" by reading this book.

> The cult of the MBA likes to believe that you can run organizations that do things that you don't understand.

Exactly.

A few years back, I found myself in a one-on-one saying: "you would think someone taking a job managing a hog farm would at least know what a hog is."

Though, that was about web-development.

A suitable allegory.
Mixed-langage projects can be incredibly powerful (e.g. NumPy doing the heavy lifting in C and the rapid development in Python) but it requires taste and experience to decide which bit of the system belongs on which side. And it's subtly but importantly different to just writing a binding to a C library.
I think it is odd they would consider still selling bonds regardless of our debt load. Who never heard of a rainy day fund?

Also, the screen doesn't flash

It does here (Chrome 14).
Continuing with that thought though: if the people advertising didn't see some sort of gain(financial or otherwise), they wouldn't be long in pulling the ads from HN.
It's great getting eyeballs & all but if that doesn't turn into something more concrete, nobody's gonna pay. Sure, other advertisers would step in but they'd see the same results(minimal\zereo ROI) as previous advertisers, and before long, HN would be regarded as a no go for CPI/CPM ads.

2. The iPad uses encryption just like the iPhone.

Sure, but the decryption keys are also on the iDevice, otherwise it wouldn't work. Which means that a competent cracker can get access to your data. Not a big issue if all you have is personal stuff (but then, how bad is it if your personal data is compromised), but the gains for bug business espionage could justify the expense of a crack... So yes, the battle is already lost if an attacker physically has your iDevice in their hands. Don't do that.

Still, the default setting for the smart cover is clearly a bad security error by Apple - I trust it will be quickly fixed.
