I think that behind the scenes video doesn't give that information. Although they did shot last frame last, they didn't say that they shot them in order.

Also they only shot 2300 whereas the clip at 24 fps would have taken 4920 though the 'real' frame seems to be lower. Finally moving around jelly beans is a lot easier than setting up the scene from scratch, as mentioned, a frame took 5 minutes to 3 hours to setup.

5 Keys For Getting Your Ex Back
You're sitting in a meeting to talk about strategy next quarter. Ideas are flying. People are talking over each other. Every so often someone scrawls something on a whiteboard. Then they start talking about dates and "quick wins." Estimates get thrown out, which inspires another furious rush of discussion.

You keep trying to interject. You lost two engineers a month ago. Another one has put in his notice. You hired a bright kid a week ago, but he's going to need time to ramp up. You keep trying to say that hiring needs to be the focus of any new strategy, because nothing's getting done if you don't have the engineers to do it. You keep trying to raise this point and get the group to talk about how you can redouble your recruiting efforts, but everybody wants to talk about "establishing social media channels" and "improving our performance marketing network."

So finally, you sigh, and raising your voices a couple notches, you say:

"There is no way we're doing to do ANY OF THIS SHIT with our current staff."

The room quiets down. All heads turn to you.

Then the CEO says, "All right, let's talk about recruiting."
The poster is right. Next up, I'm expecting another whiny thread about why all these t-shirt wearing "fuck that shit" guys aren't paid or treated like doctors, lawyers or architects.

These are _public_ presentations. Act professional. There are almost no other professions where it would be considered de rigueur to pepper your professional presentations with profanity, or, for that matter, porn.

You want to swear in your office, or in your source base (not in the public-facing API stuff), go ahead. But if you want to swear in your public persona as a professional, don't expect to be treated like that much of a professional.

I used to think it was an industry with low barriers to entry, as did lots of people who have lost lots of money on Groupon clones. I'm not sure why, but it turns out to be a really tough business for all but a few companies.
The frequency of swearing increases as you descend the ranks of society down to the lowest levels, down to the floor where you have drunken hobos sleeping in their own filth on the side of the road. Where profanity is the most common.

I support your right to use profanity, and I support my right to judge you poorly for it.

PROFANITY IS KIND OF LIKE USING ALL CAPS TO GET PEOPLE TO READ THIS POST. ALL CAPS IS A GREAT WAY TO GET YOUR POINT ACROSS RIGHT!
I couldn't reply to your last post, so I'm replying directly above it.

That's a good idea. I've thought of that, but 1. I'm not a very outgoing person and don't know if I would be great at pitching an idea and 2. It seems that students wouldn't bring the quality that professional programmers do. That's definitely an option though. Thanks.

"The difference between the almost right word & the right word is really a large matter--it's the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning." - Mark Twain

There are occasions where only the word fuck will do.

They're less common than what the habitually profane might guess (and I regrettably count myself among that group).

Still – there is a talent to swearing. Part of it is delivery. Part of it is timing. But the most crucial part is knowing when – and when not – to use a particular tool for a particular instance. The people who write the Onion's headlines have this air-tight.
The headline only means anything because of the convention restricting IPO share prices to a fairly narrow range. The more relevant number appears in the fourth paragraph:

The stock sale values the company at $12.65 billion.
We just made it as a side project originally, for ourselves. But then it started to spread, so we opened it up for everybody and just seeing where it takes us.
It is a bit like small dogs shouting at the caravan, but if I had to express a concern about Google, it would be more about their new design, the replacement of default scrollbar, the autoloading of next images, etc.
I don't argue with $12.65, it's the "billion" added at the end that makes me scratch my head.

Rent to Own: Can I Rent to Own a Bank Owned Foreclosure Home?
I think the cause for header/footer tags is that there's no way for another program (like googlebot, browser extensions that use JavaScript to access the DOM, page scrapers, etc) to figure out where the header and footer are. Sure, it's easy for you to figure that out if you wrote the page, but how does a program that's reading the page figure that out?

I'm sure there are readability-like algorithms to figure this out, but I'd also imagine that they're not 100% accurate and need hints from the page's creator from time to time (just like readability).
As a Desktop Linux user since 2005 who has tried over 20 combinations of Desktop Environments/Window Managers on a wide variety of machines, it seems to me that you consider "from the ground up" a selling point. If you want a beautiful (beauty is in the eye of the beholder) desktop, I'll agree that that's the only way to go for a personalized/custom feel.

I've settled on StumpWM for underpowered laptops/terminal servers and openbox for all my desktop needs. As somebody who does not have the ability to create something from scratch like you're doing, I feel that openbox is as "barebones" as I can imagine a WM being, by default, and allows for AMAZING cutomization, without proprietary (unique) configuration methods that LXDE and Fluxbox use.

Edit: I have three machines running openbox, all three are tied for "most beautiful desktop I've ever seen" (again, beauty is in the eye of the beholder) and all three are set up completely differently (even Conky displays are each unique) but have the same configuration file locations/methods.
Can you or somebody expand on that last bit...run vim locally on remote files? How? How does this improve lag? Any downsides to it? This would save me so much bother.
Oh, shit.

SF Bay Area. Full Time. Founding Team. www.cinecandy.com

I am the founder of Cinecandy, the world's first Movie Studio As A Service (MSAAS, for cute). I've spent the past year solo and I am looking for a programmer and a designer.

Think of what moviemaking is: a writer, a director, some actors, a post production crew, and ultimately distribution. If you think which parts of moviemaking have been disrupted by technology, really only distribution has. The creation of movies, however, has not!

My vision is to completely automate the moviemaking process, from scripting, to directing, acting, post-production, and distribution. And Cinecandy will make it so easy that anyone can do it, and do it with their friends.

The first step in achieving that vision is a tool that will let people easily create group videos with their friends for special occasions. The example I like to use is the video shown at a wedding by the Best Man while he gives a speech - lots of well-wishing from friends and family in the video.

Because this initial set of users will show their videos in public, they are willing to pay for an automatically produced video. More if it's professionally edited.

3 Misconceptions That Need to Die
I would think something more like "If my opponent is going to get four moves in a row, why should I play?" is more what I was going for. I'm not trying to screw other people over, I'm trying to figure out why I'd play this game at all.

I'm as big a believer as you're going to find in rational markets, but that entails also knowing that in point of fact they can often be quite irrational by exploiting various human irrationalities, such as using past experience when we really shouldn't. Big fund managers aren't even remotely immune to this. This strategy of selling such a small portion of the company on the market feels like a way of exploiting the fact that "everybody knows" these big tech stocks "always" explode and exploiting the demand that is higher than it should be, while in fact selling hardly anything of value at all. Arbitraging the belief that tech stocks can't help but pull a Google, basically.
It is a poor man who relies upon swearing to have an impact upon his readers or listeners. I view it similar to "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent."

Swearing may get the attention of people though it seems like a quick fix that won't last. You know what else gets people's attention? Slapping them. :P What is more lasting is effective teaching skills and telling stories well and to do these well it requires practice and study. Instead of swearing try asking a good question that will get them thinking and again, good questions usually take preparation and it's not 'bad' to prepare questions as some people seem to think all good questions must be thought up on the spot.

The author mentions that it's more likely that Americans (Or rather, native English speakers) find the words more 'offensive' than other countries and I've noticed this too in a few Asian countries. For example, when I was in the Philippines and we'd be talking to kids/teenagers and some would outright swear (Sometimes at you) though were ignorant of it's true meaning/effect and simply had heard it on movies/TV shows and the internet.

What will amazon do in the next 5-10 years?

Options:

1. wait to see if cloud based gaming catches on, and move on that market, maybe together with trying to control the TV.

2. online banking/insurance services(maybe?). uses cloud + trust + credit cards. Those are industries are on a verge of disruption to a much more efficient and automated model, need complex automation, and are consumer facing.

3. Control the e-book distribution market worldwide,

4, Get a larger part of the content creation ecosystem(movies, publishers, maybe music or educational content)

5. An online advertising move using the kindle fire silk browser and amazon browsing history. They would combine that with their general retail savvy to create highly effective service

6. Groupon like service - have a cut of every local commerce transaction. Again superior customer knowledge helps recommend offers, and they could find a way to advertise to small business owners in their site.

But their main goal is :

Sell move stuff , more groceries / CPG and more heavier stuff. They could do all this based on the success of prime and new logistics build for it.

Where I grew up on mischief night we didn't egg peoples houses. We filled water balloons with an egg-flour mix and hurled that, because 10 hours later when people went to clean it off it was impossible. It's literally drying pasta into brick and then trying to wash it off with a garden hose and you don't have any water pressure because the council hasn't had the funding to upgrade the mains, but they're still selling off land for new housing and drop the systems pressure even more.
I would assess the strength and execution of your competitor's product, then decide whether you think you can build a better product. Google didn't quit building a search engine because Yahoo beat them to it. They just figured out a better way to do it. Depending on the potential size of your market, there may be room for multiple companies, even if you do come to market second.

On the other hand, one month's work is not very much and if you have another great idea in a more promising market, I would say get working on that and try to make sure you get there first. But, like I said, it's not when you launch, it's how your product compares with competitors. Just my $0.02.
The author's previous post is titled "It's the transparency, stupid." How is that any better?

At least 'shit' here is an adjective, instead of a direct insult.
I listed the editors due of their project handling and "search in folder" features. I listed the browsers, of course, due to their abilities to browse local files, more specifically, be able to open other referenced local files (images, scripts, links); this is very important for web designers. Archives split into volumes (e.g a sequence of .rar, .r01, .r02 etc. files) are still common in some areas, tipically the user only had to open the first file in the sequence and then the archived opened the rest. Not to mention the obvious case of unextracting all files from an archive.
Profanity has a purpose. It expresses strong dissatisfaction, quite eloquently in my opinion. The article was called "Don't Give Your Users Shit Work", and maybe ZH could have gotten the point across by saying "Don't Burden Your Users With Unnecessary Tedium". But seriously, "shit work" more accurately conveys the soul-crushing awfulness of it all. Listening to this author's ideas on what constitutes appropriate (who asked him anyway?) is unnecessarily handicapping one's ability to communicate.
I used to work for a company with an internet content filter. I'd search for a topic, see a promising link, and bam! the content filter blocked the page for profanity. I try to limit / self-censor my profanity in deference to the working stiffs of the world stuck in that situation.

I'm reminded of http://lesswrong.com/lw/13s/the_nature_of_offense/

If it really is a good idea, then you're going to be launching in a crowd and "first" might not mean that much(1).

The question you'll want to ask is "can we do this better than everyone else who has launched or will launch right after us?" If you're not sure you're going to be the best, don't bother. It won't matter if you're first, third, or seventeenth to launch if what you launch is second best.

(1) You might not want to show up a year late though!

OPM chief: ‘We messed up’ on USAJobs site - The Washington Post
I always found iBooks' attempt at skeuomorphism really off-putting, at least on the iPad: the size of each page will change depending on whether you hold it portrait or landscape, and so the number of pages, and on which pages text can be found, will all change. I actually stopped using it shortly after downloading it for exactly this reason. It promises to behave like a book, but falls far short. No pages at all would have been preferable.
Groupon's business is basically all sales and marketing. The v1 tech behind the deal-a-day offerings is trivial. (leaving aside recommendations and such)

You need to be very good at signing up businesses and getting good terms for your company to succeed. In addition, you need to figure out how to get a stable base of customers of your site.

Basically, Groupon clones have very low technical barriers to entry, but if you don't have a really good sales and marketing staff you're in trouble.
This can be worked around by adding a gateway.

I couldn't agree more.

Take any book you haven't read that is openly available online. Remove all vowels in worlds longer than 4 characters. Replace commonly used words (like 'the') with your favorite abbreviation (like 'T'). Truncate extra long words (9+ characters). Then try to read it. Horrible, isn't it?

Reading abbreviated (or worse, one-letter) variable names is like translating from a made-up language.

As these can be walked through with potentially zero-risk of mosquitoes following you through, then it would be useful in large spaces. IE hospitals, churches, community centres, etc. That mosquitoes can quickly jump from host to host.

Although being able to walk through one means I'd likely have one installed on my front and back door in no time. I'd possibly throw them up in my kitchen doors too as a just in case.
Element names are not designed to be hooks for CSS and JS - they are designed to have meaning, to create a semantic web. This can't be achieved with arbitrary names.

For example, pre-HTML5 sites often use a variety of <div id="head">, <div id="heading">, <div id="header">, etc. If each website is a separate entity that's fine, but if we have a longer term goal of creating some kind of global project - a programmable, mashable, indexable web - it's easier with a pre-agreed vocabulary.

I agree there may be a better way to do it and tag names could be taken to far, but with iterative development we'll get something that works and can be used by everyone (which is better than a perfect solution that never leaves the drawing board), IMO.
the tl:dr of this comment thread is that most HN'ers have sadly taken the question too literally and are commenting on the fact Google reads emails with a definition of "read" being that of "parse" (ie computationally). I think most people know and expect they obviously do that, for advertising targeting etc. I can't believe people are shocked or surprised at that.

Which is a shame because I think it's pretty clear the OP is actually asking about Google employees reading your email, which is a valid question but sadly lost in the fight over semantics. :/
Profanity is like yelling, where one is (in)appropriate so is the other.

Hence I never read articles that start with profanity - people who start shouting before they can explain themselves are rarely worth listening.

Though it can be effective, vulgarity on the web seems most often a product of laziness.

Which is not always a problem. Much content we read here is for information; many comments and blogs are little more than small talk.

We refer back to classic posts like P. Graham's because they were crafted with deliberation.
Have you ever listened to a web page read in VoiceOver or JAWS? When you can't see the screen, having additional details provided to you by the screen reader (through analyzing the tags surrounding the element) can be invaluable. Headers, Footers, Time and Date are all very specific types of content, in this case either "not part of the main content of the page" or "important things you probably want to make note of."
