How to retain website visitors
I think there's a big difference between $5-15/hr illegals used to pick crops seasonally by hand, vs. basically apprentice/permanent party farmhands who would touch a $500k+ piece of machinery.

It's pretty easy to evaluate the work product of a fruit picker in a field, compared to a "knowledge worker".

You can't compare a mobile app with a web application. One of the author's points was that "view source" world as we know it in the web doesn't work anymore on mobile apps. That's why he had to resort to Fiddler to see what is going on under the hood.

The better question is: What's the difference between this and a desktop application that gathers your data?

If the same thing happened with a desktop app (spying on your every click, "calling home"), it was labeled as spyware within days.
I don't think 511 is so much for security, I see it as being more focused on usability. For example if you have thick client program that talks to a backend server (perhaps for updates) and it receives a 511 response it can then tell the user that they need to login to the proxy (or just pop up a web browser for them).
Yeah. This is great. Will work great with APIs.

I agree that there may be a concept of innate intelligence as you describe it. I have no idea if IQ is an effective measure of it. My uninformed lay-person's instinct is that IQ is correlated with intelligence (with this new evidence we can add the proviso: at the time that the test is taken).

What this study seems to say is that IQ is more variable over time than first thought.

Perhaps the variability over time is itself hard-coded.

Regardless of the cause of this variability over time, I do hope that this study leads to more open-mindedness, and less labelling of kids based on early academic performance or single cognitive scores.

I spotted it immediately and was pleasantly surprised.

DDG was in Times 'The 50 Best Websites of 2011', now they show up in Opera. It does not seem to be so spectacular as being listed in Times, yet its gonna stay there for a long time, being one click away. It should translate to extra traffic in a long run.

Seems DDG is in a phase of building momentum which can take quite a long time and includes such (not so small) wins like these two.

Well, I'm not doing it for sexual or violent gratification (what I associate the word 'stalking' with) but I am looking to see how people are using the apps .. and it has definitely helped me identify trouble areas with usability, improvements over versions, and so on. Without flurry analytics, I probably wouldn't be able to identify improvements and tweaks that I can make that will benefit the whole, and would have to rely on a very small percentage of users giving me feedback, which may in fact not be of any benefit whatsoever to the larger whole.

Its a delicate situation, but as a developer I have to be trustworthy - and I think this is best reflected in the changes I make that make users think my app is worth using, more and more ..

Why? If they don't want people trying to break into their servers. I'm honestly asking, I don't understand your argument
It has nothing to do with security, but it's not pointless. It tells the client that this response did not come from the server it attempted to contact. This is especially useful for non-browser clients that will otherwise simply choke on the 302 redirect normally used for this purpose, but it could also be useful for browsers to present a better UI for signing on to the internet.

My only concern is that 511 could be seen as legitimizing the practice of putting silly click-through terms-of-service roadblocks on free wi-fi (making it impossible for devices to connect without a human operating a web browser), but since people are doing it anyway we might as well support it properly.

Where would Yegge go?

We know how he feels about Amazon ;) Somehow I don't think MSFT is going to be a fit for him either.

Oracle? Perish the thought.

Facebook? Maaaaybe.

There are precious few companies out there who give the amount of freedom to engineers that Google employees enjoy. For all its problems, Google is still one of a kind - unless Yegge wants to play the startup game for a while.
Sounds like what he really wants is Windows 8.
but what about people who do want to share their real identity with Google but who are banned from google?

Because Google owns both the browser and the search engine, and could use position in one market to gain a large advantage in another. Opera is neither a market leader nor it owns DDG. Moreover there is no such thing as anti-trust behavior, anti-trust is a legislation/action( the anti in its name ) that is aimed to stop such behaviour.

The same reason, to a lesser degree, that in a marriage you try and work through problems before you get a divorce. Nobody and no company is perfect, but Yegge apparently feels strongly that 1) Google is a good company, by and large, and that 2) by talking about a problem, it may get fixed.
That is Brin's code for "I don't care what Steve Yegge thinks."

So, Sergey, you need things in a paragraph or less? Here you go:

If you're going to put the Google name on a product and release it, try doing it in a manner that's not half-assed.

Sorry to be so curt, Sergey -- but I didn't want to lose your interest.
There are various auto correction/input aids - however the problem is that you can't use them to drive vim, or, say, type:

find . -name "*.php" | xargs grep "function whatever("

on the command line.
The actual quote about lisp is: "5. Lisp is opaque to you". I don't think the criterion isn't whether you used Lisp or not. He probably meant: "could you understand Lisp if you tried? If you can't, then that is a red flag".
And please stop whining about Steve Jobs getting more attention than people you happen to respect more. You don't get extra votes by posting complaints here.
Ah okay - I guess I just mean e61, e63, e71, e72. Those are the E series I've owned (except e71... )
He could have made it shorter but I agree. Maybe someone should write an executive summary of it and send it to Brin, because there is no doubt Google (and many other companies) should be paying attention to the key points that are made.

Hire Writers from the Philippines Today and Enjoy Business Growth Tomorrow
Maintaining multiple websites require a lot of work, time and energy. Most successful internet marketers do an outsourcing thing to save time for them to engage in other activities they believe to help their business grow. Having a regular supply of unique content for your site is something a website owner wants to drive traffic to their site. So, it is a wise solution to hire content writers.
Are IP addresses “personal data”?
Definitely agree with this. TechStars should have had veto power over the final product. That's a clearly rookie mistake.

I would be shocked if PG allowed a program like this about YC to air.

I don't think you can argue that Bloomberg is in the wrong. They are a media house. They have to create drama to sell the show.

TS should have had better contracts to enforce more editorial control over the end-product.

I have just watched 2 episodes, and David Tisch looks like a real douchebag that seems to be acting like a dick for the camera.

This also feels less like a 'mentoring' program, where people are helping you make your startup success and more like "I (Tisch) know all the answers. Listen to me or you are gonna fail."

Definitely not the type of environment I would want to build my company in. The very point of being an entrepreneur is so that you can control your own destiny, not trade your corporate overlord boss to some entitled investor that thinks he knows everything.
it's back up.
That doesn't really encapsulate Yegge's main point, about Google needing to fully commit to becoming a platform company like Amazon and Facebook.

More rumors about the iPhone 5
I second the remarks about poor teaching (though C type syntax does sucks hard). The main problem probably comes from the fact that ordinary variables are themselves an indirection of sorts, and programming courses do not make that clear (we tend to confuse the variable and the value it holds). Excerpt from my article on assignment[1]:

[The pervasive use of the assignment statement] influenced many programming languages and programming courses. This resulted in a confusion akin to the classic confusion of the map and the territory.

Compare these two programs:

(* Ocaml *) │ # most imperative languages
let x = ref 1 │ int x = 1
and y = ref 42 │ int y = 42
in x := !y; │ x := y
print_int !x │ print(x)

In Ocaml, the assignment statement is discouraged. We can only use it on "references" (variables). By using the "ref" keyword, the Ocaml program makes explicit that x is a variable, which holds an integer. Likewise, the "!" operator explicitly access the value of a variable. The indirection is explicit.

Imperative languages don't discourage the use of the assignment statement. For the sake of brevity, they don't explicitly distinguish values and variables. Disambiguation is made from context: at the left hand side of assignment statements, "x" refer to the variable itself. Elsewhere, it refers to its value. The indirection is implicit.

Having this indirection implicit leads to many language abuses. Here, we might say "x is equal to 1, then changed to be equal to y". Taking this sentence literally would be making three mistakes:

(1) x is a variable. It can't be equal to 1, which is a value (an integer, here). A variable is not the value it contains.

(2) x and y are not equal, and will never be. They are distinct variables. They can hold the same value, though.

(3) x itself doesn't change. Ever. The value it holds is just replaced by another.

The gap between language abuse and actual misconception is small. Experts can easily tell a variable from a value, but non-specialists often don't. That's probably why C pointers are so hard. They introduce an extra level of indirection. An int* in C is roughly equivalent to an int ref ref in Ocaml (plus pointer arithmetic). If variables themselves aren't understood, no wonder pointers look like pure magic.

Exactly: a good example is how OS X currently works - everytime you connect to a new WiFi hotspot it fires a request to a static page on Apple's server in the background, to determine whether or not you have to sign in. If it detects unexpected content it assumes it's a sign-in page for a WiFi hotspot, and presents it modally.

Under this proposed system the OS can simply check for an appropriate HTTP response code, which makes life a little easier.

Well, that is not strictly true, a company can perfectly legally say it would not rehire you, and the next company will read between the lines. Good luck trying to sue - if word got out that you did, you really would become unhireable.

Also, hiding gaps on the CV is a major red flag. It would be grounds for instant dismissal, it's as bad as pretending to have a qualification you don't.
Cockroach Design vs. Dinosaur Design
They really need to bring back the downvote button. Posts like this make me really fell like the quality of HN is going downhill.
It might even have been a missed opportunity. Brin (or better yet Page) could have posted a public reply that said, to the effect of:

Yegge is absolutely right, I've been thinking along similar lines recently, and now is a great opportunity to do something about it. I'm issuing the same edict as Bezos - every Google product must expose its full functionality via public API. From today, Yegge is in charge of coordinating and making it happen. etc etc

One of the issues that Google seems to face is that a form of technical debt is catching up with them. They've had the same three officially approved languages for a decade now - C++, Java, Python - with Go on the way to becoming a fourth. But that rules out interesting new ones like Scala, Clojure, Erlang, Haskell that might 1) be good tools for particular projects, and 2) attract great developers.

Requiring all their products to interact via published API only might enable increased polyglot programming and a more diverse and interesting tech ecosystem.

Just speculating on all this, but I do wonder...
This is a really poor argument IMHO. You haven't addressed any of his points.
He was joking. It's his style, and it probably seems a bit offensive to the outside world, but he's always like this during company meetings.
Ok having the whole HN front-page covered with stories about Jobs' death on the day wasn't something I would have done, he's massively overrated in my opinion, but I can understand it. For many people on HN he's a huge influence, inspiration and they use his products so fair enough. Many of the evaluations of his life and career were also relevant, as well as ruminations on the future of Apple. Most of these things I don't mind even if I think most of the premises about Apple are wrong. But this post is just pure cult, it's a link to the Apple front page because the page no longer has a tribute to Jobs. But given he's dead and the funeral has been held, wouldn't the news rather be if they left it up for too long? So this is entirely non-news of a non-event from RVijay007. HN quality is in decline I think, and I have become uncomfortable after someone made a plausible accusation of moderator censorship.
