Short answer, They don't.

Longer answer, they're usually overnight, the transaction goes out one day and funds are available the next (to the bank anyway). In some cases, there's same day stuff if you hit the early window, but that takes a cooperative bank. Retail wise, they can take up to 2 business days if you try to do it at a small bank with a correspondent relationship to a real bank in alaska.

But when you see 4 or 5 days, it's because the bank is holding access to the funds because the transaction is reversible. 3 days is the window for things like NSF and incorrect account numbers, but in the case of unauthorized stuff, it's 90 days. Frauds can claw back even farther.

One of the operating systems that may be ported to the Pi is RISC OS, which includes a reasonably decent implementation of BASIC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_BASIC) which itself contains a built-in ARM assembler.

A student could quickly and easily start writing graphical programs (plotting randomly coloured circles onscreen, for example) or simple games, without needing to download, install and use a compiler.

We're literally returning to the world of 10 PRINT "Hello" : 20 GOTO 10... in the good "very accessible programming" sense, not the bad "...considered harmful" sense.
See the first paragraph of The Implementation section and the example of the proposed conversion.

foobar.com -> foobarcom

foobar.net -> foobarnet

foobar.org -> foobarorg

foobar goes to whoever registers it first

Congratulations Nathan! I'm extremely encouraged to hear about your success - especially since it's an application that addresses a real need and helps create value in society. I'm really inspired that you can do good in this world and make some money at the same time. Thanks so much!
Maybe I can put this arguement to rest.

It doesn't matter how competant your product is (CPAN) if you aren't delivering what the market wants.

Yes, CPAN provides a utility in the ecosystem, but most users do not use the extra features that CPAN provides over something like PyPi.

And even in the cases where there is a feature overlap (e.g. repository storage and breath), after a certain point things are "good enough" and theres a marginal return for adding more.

Does it matter if there are 17 SHA1 implementations on CPAN and 3 on PyPi? Not really, since you only need 1 good implementation. In fact it could be argued that having more implementations is worse due to paradox of choice.
But that's the point. Console companies control the supply of games, part in actual control, but also part in the known hardware part of things. The hardware is what it is, and developers develop for that. It's known. The issue with PC's is that it's unknown. Crysis wasn't bad if you had the machine for it.

But when you look at something like what Apple is doing, and what Microsoft is going to do with Windows 8 with the App Stores, you see things moving in that direction.

Basically:

> Computers are not the same because the supply of software is not controlled,

Yes, but that's something that's slowly going away. App stores are making that go away.

Couldn't you say one is a known entity and one is an unknown. So Bill Nguyen vs. Make up a Name.

All things being equal, who do you favor, someone for whom you know some history or someone for whom you have no history?

Kpcb has historic cachet. If a venture succeeds, it's a story, if it fails it's also a story. If an unknown succeeds it's a small story‡ --if it fails it's an even smaller story (for a blog to write about).

‡Smaller b/c there's less confidence in an unknown, I think. Like an entrenched sports team with a winning history vs an upstart. Who has the fanbase (audience)?

There is nothing wrong with using a credit card for a short term loan, especially if you actually have enough money to cover that loan.

The part that's suspicious is the $25 price point (the BeagleBoard is $125, the BeagleBone is $90, the Gumstix is $150-$250 depending on configuration). How many products can you name for under $50 (2x the cost of the Raspberry Pi) that approach its specs and capabilities? Also, they're aiming for user-friendliness to the point where it is supposed to be an educational product for young people.

These are both really, really hard to do. The foundation seems to be approaching this goal fairly well; if it is vaporware they have documented it quite well indeed. Having volunteers like their director and trustee Eben, who is an architect at Broadcomm, and trustee and operations director Pete, who is the managing director of a PCB manufacturer, can't hurt on getting this thing spec'ed out. Whether or not those relationships will last once this gets rolling is the shaky part.

Don't get me wrong, the team seems like a great group of people, and I trust them to have good intentions. However, I don't give anything approaching trust to Broadcomm.
Personally, I like the previous "did you mean" behavior; if Google thinks I misspelled a word, or that I want a synonym, by all means give me the alternative, but by default I want the exact query I searched for, because more often than not I really did mean what I searched for rather than what Google thought I meant.

Where do types come from?
If you travel and use hotels and rental cars, credit cards are very much a benefit. These companies insist on credit cards or require you to put onerous deposits and sometimes will refuse cash or debit cards outright. Airlines seem similar for their preference for credit cards. Also most of the benefits from credit cards are travel related. Like rental car collision insurance, travel insurance, etc if you use the credit card.

I think what happens is the price of an engineer has gone up. Engineer starts a start-up, big company buys start-up at a million per Engineer - Everybody happy.
Yes and Yes.

At that level you are not using the card for credit, but rather as a replacement for cash. And who wants to write a check when you can use a credit card instead?

It's faster and safer to use a credit card, plus the merchant doesn't have to worry that the check will actually clear.

And using a debit card when you have a lot of money in your account is not safe. So credit card wins.

And for that same reason dwolla will stay rare for such transactions - without the consumer protection laws that credit cards have people will just not use it with strangers.

It will be used exactly as the article describes: To send money between people who already have a relationship, but it will rarely be used for purchases.

Basically he's replacing checks, not credit cards.
I think the algorithm does too many "magic" things lately. I've noticed this when I had some search queries for "flask" (python micro web framework) and some programming related input and most of the returned results were about "flash".

> Games consoles are odd in that there are usually only around 3 major ones in the market at any one time and they all do basically exactly the same job.

So you're saying people buy consoles based on how much RAM is in the machine because they all basically do the same thing?

> Even with a mac there is enough to differentiate the models in specifications alone,

That is slowly eroding away. No more Macbook. Now, what's the difference between a MBP and a MBA?

I think the most striking example is when you compare an MBP, an iMac, and a MBA with an iPad with a keyboard. What's the difference in the hardware? With an iPad, the screen is easily portable. That's pretty much it with regards to what matters.
I know Perl 5 well enough but will my successors also?

Surely simpler soultion would have been to respond to a search for "+this is a +search" with:

Showing results for this is a search
Search instead for +this is a +search

As google does for other "typos".

Failing that, a replacement for + would be welcome. I can't imagine many people type, for example ^word or =word - allowing use of a symbol that indicates promotion of that word word in the search terms, they way + did.

The difficulty will be reeducating the (presumably quite large number of - even if proportionally a small percentage of googles user base) people who have been using + in searches for the last 10-15 years (I'm almost positive this concept existed in other search engines before google) that + isn't + any more, and please use this other symbol instead.

"The problem in his view is that many of the talented engineers
and product designers who are now starting their own companies
could have a bigger impact at places like Facebook, and they in
turn will have a hard time attracting the best talent because
those people can get funded to start their own projects as well."

Obviously I just read TC's article and didn't see what Parker said, but what's notably missing from that statement is any discussion about what is best, or highest expected value, for the engineer or designer. It's obviously better for Facebook/Google/Yahoo/et al if great engineers and designers have to work for them because they can't get funding. It's not obvious this leads to better outcomes for the people in question. It kind of feels like Parker is talking his book.

edit: formatting
It's definitely the case that <0.5% of searches use the plus operator, and most of those searches aren't using plus correctly. If you used the plus operator correctly, you're well within the 1% of most savvy searchers.

You might be surprised and discouraged to discover that most people don't know about things like the minus operator to exclude terms from search results.

1: Well in my bankaccount I can overdraft with no problemes (I think there is a system how often and how much you can overdraft but I never hit that limit). I just have more then one account (there nicly bundeld in the ebanking system) on for everyday the other for safings. So keeping track of all this is nice because you always know what you have. With Credit Card I never know how much I will get at the end of the month.

2. I think there is something like that yes but I have the same thing for the normal bankaccount the send you some kind of points and you get cheaper entery to all kinds off stuff but I never really read that stuff, In some shops you can use these points as money and I use the points for that.

3. I don't know about that but good for you if you can get some free money. A Irish guy told me once every cent is a cent closer to the next Guinness.
Actually rather than being unlucky, I think it would be more correct to say that they failed to get lucky somehow. In the absence of doing something right (promotion, naming, hitting a niche at the right time, having other successful apps by the same developer) or getting lucky (being featured by Apple or a blog, etc.), I expect the natural state of an app is to have sales that round to zero.

With hundreds of thousands of apps in the App Store, it's not much different from building a random website and expecting people to somehow just show up.
The current system works well enough and is unlikely to be replaced, ever.

1) Append .com and see where it takes you.

2) Let a search engine figure it out.

"they're just not necessary"

I am 29 years old. I thought the same thing as you until about age 25 when someone explained to me that CC's are a great way to build your credit rating. Since I avoided getting a credit card for so long...I had no credit and a very low credit rating! Whereas my wife who had had a CC for 10 years already had great credit. As a result, we had to utilize her credit rating when getting car loans/ home loans etc until my credit rating improved! Without good credit you can really get owned (bad loan rates) when pursuing a loan for any reason.

1. This would break links all over the web. e.g. all links to http://news.ycombinator.com must be changed to link to http://news.ycombinatorcom. Many of the people who will be responsible for updating links will not know how to use sed or perl on their html files.

2.a. .om is used by websites in Oman. cccc.om and ccc.com would both become ccccom --- conflict.

2.b. .et is used by websites in Ethiopia. nnnn.et and nnn.net would both become nnnnet --- conflict.

3.a. .er is used by websites in Eritrea. Quick, register twitt.er and you can own Twitter!

3.b. I hope no-one in Peru registered sky.pe, because Skype will take it off them for trademark infringement.

4. Users already don't need to remember whether a website is a .com or an .org or whatever. They need to be able to find it on Google.

The redesign is a really nice update overall, but in terms of pure search utility, I don't think this is a challenge to Yelp just yet. Yelp's massive review database is still a huge advantage, and provides high quality context to search results that foursquare can't match: http://d.pr/PYyf

The most exciting feature of the whole redesign is one that I totally missed until I read about it in the mashable article, and that's the recommendations on the homepage. It surfaces some really interesting content, and plays on foursquare's strengths which are social data and time-sensitive check ins. Unfortunately, this feature is pretty buried at the moment, and is limited to showing generalized recommendations for the current time. There doesn't seem to be any way to dive deeper into the recommendations by time/date, or to filter by category. There's a lot of potential there however, so I'm excited to see where that goes.

It is also really surprising to me that foursquare does't have a map on their search page if they're pushing local discovery.

I'd never written a cheque until I moved to the US; I was pretty shocked at how backwards money transfer is here.

Transactions between individuals are usually via standard wire transfer and are free, and often instant.
The lost concept in anecdotes like this is opportunity cost; he was rejected from all those art schools and found success -- by some definition -- in going to NYC. The implication in the story is that success is binary, that you achieve it or you don't.

But he may've switched to advertising at any of those other schools. Or he may have stayed in fine arts and enjoyed even greater success that he can't even dream of now. But those opportunities were lost in favor of the path he took instead (whether by choice or not).

Arguably, if you end up happy and without regrets, you DID succeed. But not everyone has that same metric, and depending on your dreams there's a wide spectrum of possibilities. Being happy doesn't mean you couldn't have been even happier otherwise.

He said the internet industry would consolidate like the PC industry did. We can see that happening already, with the trend of big companies like Google, Facebook, and Microsoft acquiring smaller companies to fill voids in their product offerings, talent pool, etc. Google is the definite poster child for consolidation, having bought YouTube, DoubleClick, GrandCentral, etc.

Is the supply and demand crisis for RoR talent a deal breaker for companies? 
The demand for Ruby on Rails talent has sky rocketed and it's very difficult to find talent. If you disagree, I'll pay you $5,000 dollars a head. For start-ups and corporations willing to embrace the technology, the decision to use RoR can be critical.<p>I began approaching well known Rails programmers via email the other day for my education technology company, asking if they knew of anyone interested in a job and as usual, I received a bunch of emails from people "frustrated and pist off."<p>My email went to the tune of: "Hello, was wondering if perhaps you know of anyone interested in working with a Rails based education technology company in Chicago. We're offering a really great package for both junior and senior level developers."<p>If companies are gridlocked and can't build the capabilities needed to innovate because they can't find Rails developers, why should companies continue to use it? I know of more than a dozen well funded start-ups who've actually decided not to use Ruby on Rails because of inability to find talent.<p>You would think those truly concerned with the adoption of the technology at industry would care a little more about companies looking to make hires and grow. I feel like this selfishness and willingness to embarrass companies trying to find talent is inconsistent with the principals of open source software, which thrive contingent upon their widespread adoption.<p>Even more concerning, it's not like we're offering chump-change for the position. We're actually coming in well above market rate, well over 100k, totally respecting the authority. So to those I've offended with a casual email requesting your help, please explain to me how businesses should proceed in their decision to adopt RoR and build out their capabilities.
