One of the better methods I've heard of is to just hash the domain you're logging in to. Choose a PIN, like 1337, then add that PIN to a substring of the domain:

ycombinator.com = 1337ator

techcrunch.com = 1337unch

So, yeah if someone finds out your PIN they can log onto all your accounts. So use it only for non-essential passwords, especially not for email/bank.
It reminds me of a cult. "They seemed like such nice people!"
How do you know how they came up with those lists by simply grouping them into location, work, etc?

Look at the lists closely. Not everyone who went to your school is included in those lists

What you are seeing is what they want to show you. The AI happening in the backend is really complex. But of course, you don't have to believe everything I say. You should check out the background of those 3 co-founders. They are all AI guys, and they are not likely to want to solve simple problems.
I like the hypothesis the article presents: focusing on working intently hard, followed by relaxation and you will perform better. It's something I would want to beleive.

But, I find his analysis a little suspect. It appears to confuse corellation and causation. It notices a difference in behavior between the "great" and the "average" and assumes those differences to cause the difference in ability.

It completely ignores the possibility that the behavioral difference might be caused by a difference in ability, rather than the behavior changing the ability.

Also, another problem is that student classification is based on faculty opinion. The fact that students with a class of behavior tend to be liked more by their instructors implies something about the instructors, not the students. It does not measure music ability. It measures the ability to be perceived positively by music professors.

I would be interested to see a study that actually measures music ability, using set learning time frames with unfamiliar pieces and double blind assessment of music samples.

If that was correlated with behavior, then it might mean something.

The best the study can say is "if you want music teachers in Berlin to rate you highly, then behave this way".

Suggestions:
- decrease the page width some. Both hainbit1.png and hainbit2.png are partly cut-off at normal browser widths.
- add captions to each URL. (As jk86 suggested, delicious integration would be neat.)
- ability to drag and rearrange the link boxes.

Google Acquires Apture: How Long until We See AdWords in Search Pop-up Boxes?
Very awesome.

You could use Levenshtein distance (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenshtein_distance) as your search metric. That would provide two advantages: it would handle slight misspellings, and it would find the closest match first ("radius" would prefer "border-radius" to "border-top-left-radius", and "border" would prefer "border" as requested in another comment).

You might consider providing a quick list of the property names (perhaps over on the right) in addition to the fully expanded list, to make it easier to tell if you have the right results, and jump to them in the list.

Please put the "[source]" links closer to the content; right now they seem more closely associated with the following entry. How about putting the link near the top right of each entry instead?

Please don't fade the "default" and "inherited" text so close to white; I found it uncomfortable to read with that little contrast.
One of the main advantages for windows is that backwards compatibility is excellent (I can generally run programs for Win95 without getting into some weird dependancy hell) and I have never had a big update (like a service pack) totally break everything like I have had with pretty much every linux distro I have ever tried.

One thing I never really understand is why people complain about windows RAM usage, especially on recent versions. RAM is cheap and you have about 8GB of it , why are you complaining about it showing usage of 2GB after boot? You didn't buy all that memory for it not to be used, surely most of this usage is due to windows preloading commonly used DLLS into memory at bootup so parts of the system can load faster?

I heard at one point that data to be preloaded is deliberately organized into contiguous blocks on disk so it can be read quickly in one pass, giving an overall performance win vs seeking all over the disk later trying to load in bits of DLLS to run a program?

I'm sure somebody can correct me on the details of that.

I'm not sure the security argument is even particularly valid anymore, is there really any concrete reason that a Unix OS has an inherent advantage over an NT based system?

I think allot of the issues stem from the culture (or pherhaps lack of it). Linux users are generally happy with their open source software from aptitute , whilst Mac users only tend to use a small number of good quality commercial apps. On the other hand a huge number of windows apps seem to be 'freeware' type apps that make their money by bundling crapware, also there is more pirated software used which I suppose would be more likely to have viruses bundled. I generally stick to either open source or fully paid up commercial software on my Windows 7 box and I've not had any real problems.

Actually, you could solve #2 and #3 very easily by moving some of that material onto the homepage. Personally, I'd go with a simple, clean cut demo video. "Meet Martha...Martha is a high school teacher. But..." etc. and then later on in the video describe everything you put into pictures in more detail. Keep the graphic and diagrams though, in case users like those more than the video. And between those two, you'd get rid of a lot of white space hanging around. As for explaining it, the hook is very compelling and clear if you put one or both of those onto the homepage. Because the homepage as it stands now gives a basic idea of what the tech can do, but no examples of why what it does is useful. Having a teacher say, "Remember class is in room 142 today!" via text broadcast is more compelling for teachers than the comparatively less descriptive graphic you have on the homepage right now.
Thanks! You are right about the main page width. I always have this problem because of using a 1920x1080 resolution. Thanks for the suggestions I will hopefully improve this project.

great tips! auto reloading css is perhaps my most favorite timesaver. i add this snippet to a page when in development:

<script>
if(location.href.indexOf('file://') == 0 || location.href.indexOf('http://localhost') == 0) {
var s = document.createElement('script'); s.async = true;
s.src = 'js/css_auto-reload.js'; s.onload = function() {
document.styleSheets.start_autoreload(1000);
};
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(s);
}
</script>

it uses http://nv.github.com/css_auto-reload/ and updates the page (in place) nearly instantly after i save css in my editor. i use sassy/scss, so i also run "compass watch" in a terminal. it's css tweaking heaven for me :)
Personally, I don't think I'm going to bother to change my password since it's a 64-character or so generated one for their site only and they don't have my credit card info. But I can see some reasons why I would care about the details of their encryption method. If it's MD5(pass+salt) then most people probably need to go change it, along with any other sites they're using that password at, and possibly mess up their evening a bit. If it's something silly but better like sha512(sha512(...(pass)...)) enough times such that it takes a good chunk of time for any password, or even better bcrypt, then most users can relax and change it when they can get around to it.
Android and Native Client are two big areas that would help to give Go traction. If Google really cared about Go's adoption they would certainly talk about integration with these.

The best herniated disc treatment
Treatments for disc herniation depend on where it is located and how severe the damage is to the disc. Once your doctor has diagnosed you, he/she will establish the proper treatment. If your disc problem is not too serious, you may just need some lifestyle changes and medication. Unlike other back pain problems, bed rest is a good idea.

Is there anything similar to bootstrap? Just wondering what else is out there.
I think you've got it wrong.

I live in a 1750 square foot penthouse apartment (two floors, 14' ceilings, hardwood throughout), with easy access to two different subway lines (U8 and the S41/42 ring). I can be anywhere in the inhabited part of the city in under 25 minutes.

I pay $1400/month. That's $9/sqft/year, or $0.80/sqft/month. Did I mention that's including heat?

Berlin is a world-class city. There are several authorized Apple service centers (and they're building an Apple Store right now), Canon service centers, and big box retailers. There are great restaurants and hotels and conference centers and such because it's the federal capital, and all the embassies and consulates are here, this country being the largest economy in the EU.

I defy you to find me another city in the first world where one can live so cheaply, with access to the benefits of a truly world-class city such as Berlin has. It's simply not possible (and indeed, in the trendiest parts of town, rents have gone up 100% in the last 5-7 years).

It won't last, but we've got at least 3-7 years left before it turns into another stuffy expensive boring German city.
The statement "I've actually never seen a website that uses bcrypt or PBKDF2 in the real world" doesn't discredit the "Use bcrypt[/PBKDF2]" argument, though.

Yeah, it's pretty hard to prove you were fired for an illegal reason, especially if your employer has a paper trail.

My point in all this is that there is no legal claim here. What's at dispute is shares that have not vested. It's kinda like being pissed off that you will not get the free coffee you get at work if you get fired or if the employer chooses to not provide it anymore; or next year's bonus, or whatever else you have not earned yet.

I guess the downvotes mean fellow readers do not like what I say, which is ok. As long as what I say is not false I'm ok with it.

Brilliant move to latch onto the 1%/99% rhetoric flying around right now.

Also, a pretty neat idea. I wonder how VCs, etc... would look at a company with that odd percent-chunk missing in funding rounds.
I started using bootstrap for my a homework assignment and my only regret is that why didn't I adopt it before! I've used blueprint before but bootstrap is just so idealistic - earlier I've struggled for hours to vertically align image and multiline text. Bootstrap just takes care of the OCDs when non-designers feel frustrated with the lack of design skills!

I didn't mean Mexican cartels in the US, just cartels in the US in general. I don't buy that it just doesn't show up in the news, if people appeared decapitated or hanging from overpasses in the US I think you would see it mentioned in the news. The corruption and incompetence of Mexican police makes the problem more obvious since the government has to put the army and federal police on the streets to keep some control.

I think maybe in the US the cartels have reached some equilibrium that allows them to operate without so much violence and be discrete enough that they don't get bothered so much by the police.
Agreed. I randomly tried イ, ア, 月, 四, and 行. It pulled back tons of results for each of them, but not a single list contained the correct result.

It's not a situation of how many lead software engineers can you buy for $50m. If Zynga had had $50m to begin with they wouldn't have given out options. What they offered, instead, was a 0.5% shot at $50m.

It's a fundamental concept of contract law that the damages for breaching a contract are what are necessary to put the aggrieved party in the same position he would've been but for the breach. The rule exists precisely for this sort of scenario: when people bargain up front about highly uncertain things like this, they come to an understanding about risk/reward, potential cost and potential upside. In retrospect one party or the other is almost certainly going to get more or less than he or she expected. If courts didn't hold people to their promises, one party would nearly always have an incentive to back out, and nobody would ever enter into uncertain transactions.

What Zynga is doing is at best unethical. The rub here is that we're dealing with unvested options. If it were trying to force employees to give up vested options it wouldn't be just unethical, it would be straight-up illegal. An options contract is a property interest, and can be readily valued in this circumstance.

Even dealing with unvested options Zynga might've opened themselves up to liability. "At will employment" doesn't mean "anything goes." Also, the contract the employees had re: the options could be a second source of liability.
The whole situation can be fairly simply explained: a conflict exists between rapidly-growing companies and their early employees. It's kind of a flaw in the way the system works, and it's not really just for pre-IPO companies.

A common situation is an early "non-essential" employee receives something like 0.25% of the company, vested over 4 years. Suppose that at the time the employee is hired, this 0.25% is worth $10,000 or so ($4 million valuation). If the company manages to grow 100x in value, the company is now paying a non-essential employee $250,000/year in stock. With at-will employment, the company can legally fire them.

The conflict arises because there is no legal incentive for the company to keep this employee at this point. Fortunately, it's not all that bad for the employees as long as they have some vested stock since this problem only arises if the stock value gets too high.
It's not rolling over if the sacrifice is needed for the company to succeed. If Zynga can't continue to grow then maybe everyone's shares will turn out to be worthless. That's where the greed factors in.

You can find the article for free at scholar.google.com - http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=The+role+of+deliberate+p... -

With this article you also have to note the estimated number of hours the best violinists and good violinists spent performing. By the age of 20, the best had accumulated 7,410 hours of practice, the good violinists had accumulated 5,301 hours, and the teachers had accumulated 3,420 hours. The best and the good violinists can practice the same amount, but if you are 2,000 hours of deliberate practice behind, it will be really hard to catch up.

If you are interested in expert human performance, I would read this article, the Talent Code, and Talent is Overrated. Every time I hear Gary V say that he is successful because of his DNA, I think of this article because it is the 10,000 hours he spent running a lemonade stand, selling baseball cards, working in a wine store, and deliberately reading wine spectator that made him an expert.

Because it adds a few attributes (like 'password') and methods (like 'authenticate') to your model, and you might not really want such things on every one of your models.

Clarification: has_secure_password does NOT mean you choose between secure or non-secure password, it just mean "I want a password on this model, and better make it secure guys!"
Perversely, I enjoyed reading this memo. Mark Pincus is a classic psychopath and it's always educational to observe how people like him attempt to justify themselves.

The psychopath's language is usually a caricature (sometimes to the point of absurdity) of going assumptions of the culture in which he's trying to win acceptance. Though they have no values, they are skilled at picking up others' values and using them to make their actions seem acceptable. In Pincus's case, he's taking the noble concept of meritocracy and twisting it into bizarre shapes, refusing to stop even at outright fraud.

Oh, and if I understand Mr. Pinkus right, people who work with food don't deserve to make money. Fucker.

Judging his attitudes from his writing and actions, he'd be a natural fit for the Tea Party. Since the Tea Party and Zynga are the two malefactors most responsible for insufferable activity on Facebook, this is a natural transition for Mr. Pincus.

To the screwed: sorry to hear it, but I guess this is what you get when you work for a company whose name sounds like 4th-grade anatomical slang.

Mexico is a nexus of the drug trade not because they manufacture lots of drugs, but because they is infective law reinforcement and a porous border with the US. Consider West Virginia's largest crop by cash value is pot, but they have minimal drug related violence because it's highly decentralized and relatively far from major markets.

Edit: Looks like pot is actually the #1 crop in the US http://www.drugscience.org/Archive/bcr2/cashcrops.html (if their numbers are accurate.)
