Yeah, but that's literally the only time it makes sense - when you've got a first-class "undefined" or "unknown" type - and if you're going down the path of letting user classes participate in that protocol, I suspect that allowing them to override == in a slightly funky way isn't enough.

It's not a druthers kind of thing. If you need to trust that it hasn't been tampered with you must sign it.

And if you don't care you might as well not add authentication because without signing it's just a fancy CRC - ie, totally replicable by an attacker. As cookies and links are sent over TCP there should be vanishingly few errors in transmission - you're far more likely to introduce false positives with buggy code, and ...

You need to sanity check your inputs anyways. Just do it. This is also how you avoid bugs normally.

The Big Fat Metasploit Post
He was fantastically wealthy, and it all came from products sold to a huge percentage of the American people. We are interested in where that money went. That's hardly similar to wondering what Bieber had for breakfast, or how someone prefers sex.

Does not donating a penny make him a bad person? I'd say not, especially when you consider everything else he's done for this country, even just economically. People like Buffet and Gates have set the bar pretty damn high, though, and I'm happy their public altruism has put pressure on other wealthy people to do the same.

Hi Matt,

Thanks for responding.

The point of the site is to find items of a particular price that qualify for free shipping on Amazon.com. If you want I will give you access to my google analytics to show you that this is a site people want and use.

I guess I should not let people link to the search results page?

http://www.filleritem.com/index.html?q=hacker+news and http://www.filleritem.com/index.html?q=anything+that+is+not+... returns the same thing as if you did a search for $0. I will fix the bug so it returns an error. These are pages that no one has ever linked to as far as I know.
No reconciliation is necessary. Before the iPhone, phones were a closed platform. You couldn't get your software onto cellphones without going thru the carrier. There was no "app Store", there was no such thing as an app. You needed millions of dollars, to be a big business, to have special contracts or all of the above in order for carriers to even take your meeting to see if they'd think about putting your software on "their" phones.

The iPhone opened all that up. Anyone could write software, and provided it was minimally useful and didn't contain malware, sell it in the store. Any consumer could, for the first time, install software on their phones that they chose, rather than having it chosen for them.

I normally find this author quite enjoyable to read, and this seems like "the piece" he's been wanting to write for a long time. So it's surprising to find it thrown together so seemingly hastily and written so poorly.

It starts off with a couple paragraphs filled with non-parsable sentences like "I was employee #20 at the first start-up and the first engineering lead" (which start up again?) and "A growing groups needs to continually invest...", and then it spends four full paragraphs talking about "1:1", without ever bothering to define what a 1:1 is. It sounds like it must be a meeting of some type, but not one I've ever heard of, and as far as terms go, it seems to be almost designed to be non-googlable.

I gave up at that point.

So hey, Rands, if you're reading this. I (and probably others) would really appreciate it if you gave this article another edit or two. Put it back up here when it's ready!

Your comment is amusing, but there's merit to diversifying your cloud storage. I.e. if I lose access to gmail, I still have my dropbox stuff. Storing offline is another way to diversify, but it's subject to a lot of other vulnerabilities.

My advice would be to use robots.txt to block out the autogenerated pages; when users search for e.g. a long-tail phrase and then land on a page that's nothing but affiliate links with a lot of keywords, they tend to complain to us.

Users would be happier if they landed on the root page of your site or the root page of http://www.superfillers.com/ or http://www.filleritemfinder.com/ than if they landed on a deep page full of links and unrelated products.
Returning true on success is less useful because in general it's the details of a successful result that you want to operate on. It's less common (but not by any means rare, I admit) for the "happy path" through code to be concerned with details of the error.

> If the results should be saved, that should generally be done outside the if condition anyway.

That's as may be. This is one of those areas where the language is guiding you towards a specific code pattern rather than explicitly preventing something, and I just don't think in this case the guidance is helpful or warranted. I think it's a side-effect of a workaround for a bug in the compilation target, and that's not a good thing to expose at the language spec level.
It's great to see LtU linked-to on HN. It was also cool to see the link back from LtU to HN.
You're right. I definitely shouldn't have used the term "identical". The user interface paradigm seems very similar in concept, regardless of the underlying technology, and I guess I was trying to push back on that hype as an original take.

There was a consumer grade phone a few years ago that pulled very similar partitioning tricks but my Google-Fu has failed me in retrieving it. Thanks for clarifying.
A filler item is something with a specific (low) price used to make an order near the free shipping minimum reach that minimum.

A search for the words "filler item" is not at all related and not at all helpful.

I started watching the lectures at ml-class.org this weekend, and I found myself noticing the same thing. It's wonderful how quickly the professor goes through the introductory material so you can start learning right away. After only half an hour of watching, I had learned things I didn't know before (supervised learning vs. unsupervised learning, regression vs. classification, etc.). And after another hour he had covered all the way through a whole algorithm for solving regression problems. I'm finding this class to be much more efficient at teaching than a lot of my lectures in college were.
I prefer to stay anonymous as maybe one day we might talk with one of the above again.

Our goal is $100mm/yr in 6 years - $60k/mo is very very tiny compared to that goal. The $ we were trying to raise would be to hire a much larger team and scale out. So instead of hiring 30 right away, we are now hiring 1 or so a month.

if you are serious just read all type of baseless arguments written in this post and in similar "I love my I-whatever" posts. All I said is correct but most of the sibling threads contain vague, baseless guesses stemming from emotional connection to some gadget. That pollutes a sane discussion.

Just an example is your claim your friends hate their androids, and love their ipad. No my friends, which I now count as 6 love their android tablets.

You see your claim is weak, and my -same type of weak argument- falsified it.
I have no idea about the answer to your question, but in Norse mythology, the Sun (Sunna) is female and the Moon (Mani) is male.

For the last decade, I've been wondering why people "just don't get it", not only about Apple, but about politics, economics, history, etc.

I've been forced to reach the conclusion that they don't get it because they don't want to. They are driven by ideology. Notice I was called a "fanboy" for defending Apple. The person who called me that name has substituted an ideology for their decision making, and thus, because I said something that pokes holes in the ideology, they must attack me personally.

Further, in the case of Apple, the fact that they are so good at being good, inflames the of people who are jealous or upset, because Apple isn't following their ideology. Richard Stallman, for instance, has been kicking Apple since they were down, and doing so while giving bigger companies like IBM, Google and Microsoft a complete pass.

They don't get it because reality disagrees with their ideology.

"Such a pain" as compared to what exactly? This will depend entirely on what it is that youre trying to do. In all my experience, Android is notoriously easy to develope on, being fully open-source the way it is. Try developing for iOS beyond a the basics and I think you'll come to agree.

I dont think its fair to call the emulator an obstacle, it just comes with limitations. After all, emulators are only designed to emulate, they can't replace areal device. A hammer is still a tool, its just not the appropriate tool when you're trying to assemble a clock.

Maybe its just time to upgrade your tools.

It seems like an interesting one-off kind of scenario. They have a lot of downloaded data, none of which is irreplaceable, but which would take a significant amount of time to redownload. This pod is a backup but a not very rigorous one, since the goal is to never have to download all the data, not to never have to download any of the data.

> Cluster headache attack cessation and remission extension of months or longer in six treatment-refractory patients administered only 3 doses of BOL-148

> Five male patients with treatment-refractory chronic cluster headache and one female patient with treatment-refractory mixed cluster/migrainous headache were administered 2-bromo-LSD (BOL-148) (20mcg/kg) at five-day intervals for a total of three treatments. Sixteen-week outcome data on the five male patients revealed a robust treatment response, with three of the five having no attacks for more than one month, thereby shifting their diagnosis back to the episodic form of cluster headache. Similarly, the female patient reported quiescence of cluster attacks for greater than one month and "significant" improvement in migraine in the following weeks from last dose of BOL-148. This poster presents longterm outcome data on all 6 patients who received BOL-148. In follow-up with these patients, BOL-148 provided significant headache relief that lasted for several months to more than one-year. Data suggests that BOL-148 may function as an important new treatment, though, at present, there is no explanation for such long-term prophylactic effects with no later drug re-administrations. There is some evidence that BOL-148 is affecting epigenetic mechanisms and may open the possibility for a near-cure-like treatment for patients afflicted with vascular headaches.

Incidentally, this is apparently a non-hallucinogenic analog of LSD.

I'd add "know when to quit". Determination by itself is great, but sometimes the right thing to do is to abandon your current startup and work on something else. How do you know when to quit? Unfortunately, there's no formula for that. (My tendency, if anything, is to quit too late.)

In particular, harvest-fnids has as maximum number of allowed fnids. If there are too many, it purges any fnids that are older than their expiration time, and the oldest 10%.

Thus, the more fnids created (i.e. the more users), the sooner fnids will get harvested and you'll get the expired error.

Still, when used as intended (with the query a dollar amount, like your 31.69 example), isn't his site useful? (I've not noticed a similarly straightforward tool for this same purpose at Amazon.com itself.)

The non-dollar-amount queries seem like a bug -- triggering a default of listing up from 0.00, unrelated to the query. If this were an intentional manipulative tactic, wouldn't the outlinks be related to the query?

Still, tons of sites have infinite paths when fed unexpected queries. At least in a cursory look over the filleritem site, there's no obvious self-linking to abusive keyword-based queries -- like your example <?q=teen+sex>.

If he just fixes it so that non-numeric queries get an error page, doesn't his homepage still deserve to be found by people searching for 'filleritem'?

It's not obviously worse than the current top hit for that (and similar) queries, which behaves almost exactly the same, but might not trigger your same heuristics with its AJAX-results loads. (In such cases I also have to wonder if the initial penalty may have been triggered by complaints, or maliciously-created links, from similar competitive sites that thought themselves immune from the same enforcement actions...)

I have no association with this person and just heard about this. But obviously those are search term result pages and not "autogenerated pages" in the usual sense. If Google is going to apply such a standard uniformly, they'd have to ban all sites that have search functions.

Autogenerated in the bad sense is link farms like fakesite.com/buy_drugwiththisname_now.html, with drugwiththisname replaced with 500,000 different possibilities, and all generating pages linked to each other, which also have incoming links from ten billion forum comments across the web where a bot has signed up en masse and posted spam.

Now, perhaps this guy is posting spam to his site in places which makes it valid to declare this a link farm and kill it.

Looking at the site now, being able to search amazon by exact price is a pretty neat function and is totally different from a link farm.

I think killing his site for having a search function is pretty unreasonable.

However, you are a private for-profit company, so you can do as you please obviously.
