Diffusion of responsibility?

When trying to create something disruptive and radical, it is much easier to screw things up than to get them right. (There are more Dunning-Kruger poster children with grandiose over-estimates of their own ability out there than there are actual geniuses.)

Most corporations are structured to restrain loose cannons in positions of authority, because everybody except the loose cannon in question is afraid of losing their meal ticket. (See, for example, the recent fiasco at HP, where Leo Apotheker decided to turn HP into a fundamentally different kind of corporation and did immense damage to internal groups that didn't fit within his vision.)

The standard form of corporate restraining structure is the committee. Committees are designed to promote consensus decisions, and consensus decisions stop random-looking outbursts from happening. From the stake-holders' point of view, this is a good thing. However, committee decision-making gets in the way not only of the very common bad internal entrepreneur, but in the way of the much rarer good internal entrepreneur.

The last time Steve Jobs answered to a committee was 1985. And they fired him. Thereafter, he carefully structured his working environments as start-ups, where the founder could impose their autocratic will on the company without having to drag a boat anchor of committees after him. For most people, this would have been disastrous. Luckily for Jobs, he was as good as he thought he was.

Affiliate Programs Review.
A great tool for domain harvesters. I expect all meaningful .in domains to exhaust in a few months giving way to black market.
The new privacy/group tools are a step towards helping solve that.

It's not perfect but with a little bit of organisation you can use the same FB account for random people, casual acquaintances and real friends without causing issues.

Hopefully this will only get better.
I am not programmer,i always wanted to be one.Can you help me be a programmer by recommending some languages i should learn,Please?
Yes, specifically drugs. There is significantly more money in drugs than other types of illegal activities.
I was in the "WHY????" crowd for quite a while until I actually tried writing a somewhat big SC 2.0 app in coffeescript. What I found is the following:

* Debugging is a non-issue. The mental map from coffeescript to javascript is straight-forward. So if you hit a bug in your javascript, you know where it came from, even if the line-number doesn't match. Clean, organized CS code will yield clean, organized JS.

* Its a language for people that know JS already. Basically, its a shorthand notation for many javascript idioms - if you don't know what the idiom is there for, you will be lost.

* The compiler is easy to install and runs great - you can get started pretty quickly.

* The documentation is adequate and even explains special cases proper looping over all properties of an object.

* A lot of JavaScript syntax still "just works", like using Javascript Object Syntax instead of the coffeescript one.

All in all, my experience was quite positive (I also had a few nitpicks, especially when it came to SproutCore idioms like calling functions of functions for bindings etc.).

So, before you start ranting about all those issues, please do yourselves a favor: try it for an afternoon. And then complain about the stuff thats really an issue.

Help!! With all the none-scrolling stuff the new design has, on my netbook I have only some 600x300 pixels left to see the actual email message.

I don't care about a static user account bar, a static search bar, a static action buttons bar, a static folder and tags sidebar, etc. All that c%#p should be scrolling! It's a web page!

Is there any fix for this in the Gmail settings?

GBBO is very poorly executed though.

Google Sites was never intended to be used for external sites, and the sites are both difficult to navigate for the user and difficult to maintain for the company.

The only redeeming factor of GBBO was the free .co.uk domain name, but that only saved local businesses around £10.

I don't see what this thread is doing on HackerNews.

Most of the opinions on this Reddit thread are ignorant, prejudiced, and as far as I can tell nobody in there has got actual CoffeeScript experience.

Their main point seems to be that debugging source-translated code is hard - ignoring efforts like https://github.com/jashkenas/coffee-script/issues/558

This is definitely not constructive.

Writing CoffeeScript is a far nicer experience than writing JavaScript, but I choose to write JavaScript. There are two reasons:

1. First, a minor point: When I find JavaScript experiments I did in 2001, they still work out-of-the-box and I can immediately start editing them (and fixing my horrible style). I'm always impressed by this. With coffeescript, you need the correct version of the compiler to be saved with your project.

2. More importantly, I think CoffeeScript is a temporary solution. CoffeeScript fixes the problems with JavaScript. But JavaScript is also working to fix the problems with JavaScript. I know it's going to be a good while before JS.next is usable for the masses - but I'm sure that before that time there will be a good CoffeeScript-like transpiler that takes care of the old browsers.

Google Sidewiki Closing Down - How To Export Your Entries
He does say that java isn't his language of choice, but it's one he has to stick with.
But if you've got a CS course as introductory to programming than his assignments go a long way to learning stuff. Bear in mind that this is not a class designed for elementary or high-school students, but for college, for people that really want to learn how to program, and how everything works.
It's actually become one of my favorite languages. JavaScript is a terrific language and coffeescript capitalizes on this. The source code just becomes so clear and concise, and I really like how the language was designed. I still get hung up on lexical scoping, but that is my bad. Does anyone know how to use constructor like attr_accessor? Anyway I love writing coffeescript.

Your point seems detached from reality. You don't learn any language (native or foreign) just by reading it for months. You are instructed to use it yourself and create sentences, paragraphs, essays, and speeches. You build up your writing skills in tandem with your reading.

Perhaps you don't write well until you've read a lot - but nobody expects you to write well as a novice.
If the US does take him from Sweden, then it will only serve as huge negative PR against them, and call into question the motives of the UK courts. The backlash could be huge.
This does not mean that every kind of discrimination is equally good. Dunking a site by an algorithm (sensible disclaimers apply) looks much better in court than a decision made by a human. The latter is vulnerable to questioning based on (supposed) hidden motives.
I don't get what it does. Does this extension make large binary files "diffable," as it states that's the problem it solves?

I use Google Reader a lot, and so found this critique of yesterday's UI rollout interesting. My own experience was not as full of grousing as this guy's, but I do have my own complaints.

His complaints are (1) of screen real estate having been reduced to something admittedly pretty insane, (2) increased number of clicks to share and (3) decreased privacy in doing so (he's incorrect about the last: you don't need to +1 prior to sharing; noted, he updates his post with a correction about this), and (4) lack of contrast of the grey on white of titles and links (to me titles appear black on white and links are underlined making them easily identifiable -- was this changed?).

As for complaint (2), integration of sharing in Google Reader and G+ means that there is necessarily going to be a bit of latency introduced, because you've actually got to do the work of choosing who to share with. This doesn't bother me: the precision and primacy of the circles concept in Google+ is what attracts me to it over the convolutions of exhibition on Facebook.

Lastly, as for the first complaint, regarding screen real estate: My usual daily objective in Google Reader is to be able to do triage on about 200 - 300 articles in less than 10 minutes. I am subscribed to a ton of feeds and in order to keep pace I need to consume headlines and form a general intuition about the content while doing as little reading as possible. I want to decide between (1) "this is interesting, I'll read it later" and (2) "this is not interesting, pass" on the order of milliseconds. I don't actually do any reading at all in Google Reader itself, so his screen real estate gripe doesn't really resonate with me. If I want to read an article I just re-tab (or in the case of some content, usually videos or music, star it) it and return to it later. His contrast complaint (4) would be relevant, but I'm not seeing it.

Which brings me to my own central complaint. Namely, general sluggishness. Because of the speed that I sift through articles, any delay between pressing the "j" shortcut which advances to the next unread article and actually advancing to that article is a really palpable, frustrating and significant. Such delays are frequent -- very frequent. I haven't actually looked into what the cause of this delay is computationally, but I'm fairly certain it's not a bandwidth issue, because Google Reader keeps itself loaded pretty far ahead of the current article you happen to have in focus.

In any case, as long as such delays exist, any UI issues are pretty much secondary to my use case.

Could you expand on that? I'm contemplating using Hostgator, mainly because it has received fairly positive comments in HN (as a hosting company). The "unlimited" promises seem too good to be true, though.

In any event, how can they be "overage" if they provide unlimited hosting? Do you mean "overselling"?

Sell mobiles with Pacebutler at good cash offers
It would only be sensible if we can find ways to save our environment. Organizations as Pacebutler have made it very comfortable for its customers as they can now return their old phones for recycling by online registration. People need to support companies that have a positive influence in society and that can be respected for reasons of morality. Sell mobiles and there’s a good chance you will be paid for cash, and even if it can’t be reused, it is still eligible to be recycled.
Every time I read about this I'm struck by the number of people who see Assange's treatment as politically motivated and seem unable to accept the possibility that he assaulted two women.

Excellent, I was considering making my own with a perspex chassis.

This confuses me. Are the Swedes more likely to extradite people to the US than the UK are? If not, I don't understand your point...

I'm a Brit, and I was under the impression that our government bends over and gives the US anyone they want, whereas the Swedes give a shit about peoples rights...

I'd have thought Assange is safer from the US in Sweden than he was in the UK. Plus he'll find it a lot easier to travel to different countries if he's on mainland Europe (assuming he's not imprisoned for this rape stuff)

What is the difference (in practice) between clicking "not now" to an unwanted friend request, and simply ignoring it?
Please fix the title because it's factually wrong: he has the option to appeal to the highest court and hasn't yet decided if he will. However if he does he could win there and not be extradited. Of course he might also lose there too. Point being being it's not yet known if he will be extradited or not.
My daughter is now looking at colleges. These courses both from MIT and Stanford give me, the one who will be paying, a sense of what my 70K per year will be buying. I think this is great marketing for less cost than those mass mailings all the schools seem to be cramming into our mailbox. I just wish all these tier 1 schools would offer something online, it would make judging the quality of what I will soon be buying a lot easier.

Sites are quite basic (http://www.vijashiviinternational.in/ http://www.khoslaprinters.in/). Well, they look pretty bad, but better than nothing for very small businesses.

There's an almost identical site for the same initiative in the UK: http://www.gbbo.co.uk

Wonder if they're going to roll this out in the US eventually, and they're using IN/UK as test markets?
The Swedish people want his blood too, as does the Swedish Prime Minister. He is going to go into a secret trial, and possibly just disappear. Also the Australian Prime minister wants him locked up, so I wouldn't be surprised they don't do something. It's likely they will help the US take him away somewhere nasty rather than do it themselves though.

When you have multiple world leaders going after you, there's not much you can do. Basically Julian is fucked.
I've been using JS "seriously" for many years, and only decided to try CoffeeScript out in my latest project which is on Rails 3.1 - so using CS was effortless.

The transition was very easy, and the syntax is much more readable - that was enough to sell me.

Going on, I also found myself starting to organize my code better with the use of CS classes. I still appreciate the idea of JS classless objects, but having a convenient syntax had a good influence on my code organization (at least for now).

Nazi Germany was doing this on a whole different level and for different reasons... in their own twisted way, they were actually believing they were doing humanity a favor by cleansing it. There were even scientists there backing all their "race theories".

So, that specific rabbit hole goes much, MUCH deeper than you think.
Ask Yourself: Is That How I Want to Spend My Life?
Any particular reason that you believe the alleged rape allegations more than the fact that they may _actually_ have been politically motivated? I mean, it's difficult to take sides without knowing what did transpire.
Not moot for someone who already chose a different product because of that. These decision are extrapolated and people infer the quality and seriousness of engineering from such decisions. Those, in my opinion, matter more than marketing or flashy websites.
Don't know where you are from, but since I am from Sweden and live in Sweden I can assure you that what you are writing is simply not true. There isn't a concensus on Assange's possible guilt in this case, opinions are divided (while most people don't care about this at all of course).

Can you give an example of any previous cases that has gone to a "secret trial" here in Sweden?
The Comedy of Errors at Olivier Theatre
It's quite possible that he did, but that's not proven yet. In the meantime, why should I not see it as politically motivated as well? It doesn't seem at all unbelievable to me that governments might stoop to some pretty dodgy behaviour to try to silence him.

Linear extrapolation in general is unwise, but with market share it is particularly foolish. I'd bet the opposite, that the gap between the two browsers takes longer than a year to vanish.
What I believe is what I see happening. Sweden has asked for him to be extradited to face charges for alleged crimes in their country. It doesn't seem unreasonable for them to ask for that, nor for Britain to comply.

My point was that I am surprised by the people who do take sides. Surely, the right thing is for him to be tried in Sweden as that's what the rule of law would require and to see what the outcome is.
Secret trial? We're talking about Sweden here, not the USA. Besides, this case is far too public for him to be "disappeared". I wouldn't even expect that to happen in Iran for this case.
This has been available in the UK for a long time, I got a few .co.uk's the problem is you do need to use their google tools, changing the DNS information required me emailing the service and they did it manually which is why it's designed for small business.

I agree with that, but setting him up on some sexual assault charge that itself seems a bit flimsy doesn't seem like much of a government operation. Surely, if they wanted to frame him they could do better than that.

How hard could it be to set him up on phony charges of being involved with child pornography? If you want to take the guy down then do that, or something that'll stick.
I don't think the Zetas will cease hostilities just because of that. Their best chance is to flee to the US and ask for asylum. With the data.

The redesign of Reader looks like it was done by a junior designer who got the memo that "white space is good" but didn't understand that little blobs of white all over the frickin place are not actually that good. Reader is now a mess of disconnected bits floating aimlessly in space. It's gone from being quite serviceable to quite disfunctional.
The judge isn't disputing that.

He's saying that it is necessary to face a trial to determine it, and he isn't going to just brush the charges away and say they were definitely nothing. He's saying there's enough uncertainty that there should be a trial to answer it.
There's really nothing wrong with HG. I've used them for quite a long time.
