I wonder if the author realizes how pompous is warning of "...if you steal any of my creative ideas, philosophies, phrases, packages, descriptive texts, names, graphics, pictures, colour schemes, styles, designs, and any other content displayed on this site, you'll be showing the world that you have not been willing to exercise your brain power, nor invest into your success by your own means, and thus you will add to the industry's already bad enough reputation for its concentration of brainlessness!

Another trap you'll be setting up for yourself is that those who visit you [or your client on behalf of whom you're working] will spot this very quickly and you'll achieve the opposite of the desired effect sooner than you realize.

So, be inspired, but use YOUR OWN brain to create! You can do it!" sounds... It gave me a nice chuckle...
Just playing the devil's advocate here, but would you not say Google's search homepage has a lot of "wasted space"?
I don't think one can always make such a quick judgment about whether space is a bad thing or not.
I had the idea to do something like this a while ago. I then googled it and turns out there were already a number of services doing this, though none here in Japan. Unfortunately Twilio is not available here yet. I wonder if there's another way of doing it cheap.

I never thought of using with coworkers though. In that case I'd simply tell them I'm busy with something important. My idea was for dates and other social situations where you need an excuse to "escape".
Does this Muck Work require talking to you/other musicians in person?

I'm wondering if this business opportunity requires a physical encounter or could be done remotely. I actually would love to support musicians and other artists/talented people by doing their Muck Work. One of the problems I've encountered informally is that there are major trust issues! My job requires them to trust me and building that trust is not easy, even in person, since there are so many sleazy MBA fraudsters out there.

Fraudsters specialize in getting people to trust them. Honest helpers, however, specialize in helping. I find that the fraudsters are accorded more trust than me, even though I don't have a scammy bone in my body.

I find it highly rewarding to help others focus on and develop their talents by moving the furniture out of their way. I actually just love seeing artists express themselves and so that motivates me to do their Muck Work. (great word for it by the way)
I am on the Nightly builds and I found that when Nightly was version 10.0 (now Nightly is 11.0), Twitter broke because LocalStorage did not work. Has it been fixed in v10?
Sexy and Stylish High Heels Shoes
Walking in high heels shoes adds just a little bit of confidence in our gait. Whatever get-up we have on, high-heeled shoes certainly add elegance and style; creating an appearance that exudes a touch of playfulness, sexiness and downright confidence.This is why women go for these types of shoes, and with plenty of styles out in the market today; we can have a closet-full of different high heels of various heights, colors, materials and designs; perfect for any outfit or occasion.

Good to see they have finally integrated developer tools natively. However, they're all over the place. Each tool sits in its own separate window, they really need to bring them altogether and implement something more like FireBug.

Oh, the JavaScript scratch pad is a nice addition. A CSS version would also be nice.

The new gmail interface really feels like it's made for a touchscreen, problem is a touchscreen UI feels awkward on a system with a mouse.

Question for all you web people out there, what would the difficulty of making a stylish/greasemonkey/something script to keep the old layout/look? I'm a programmer but I work on embedded systems in C, I don't have to worry about this fancy internet stuff.
NO, this is to use JavaScript in Java applications. It isn't to actually write the application.
What were the metrics used to determine that the design is "more effective"?
Indeed. I went to grad school, am a professor now, and I feel like a fraud pretty frequently. But, as I have learned, so do 98% of other mathematicians.

Aren't there countless websites out there with no Flash and only HTML/Javascript/CSS that have atrocious hover-state-based interfaces that are completely unusable on a touch screen device?

Why deal with hover-state-based interfaces differently for Flash and non-Flash websites?

Is it easier to show a user a mobile version of the site (with no hover-state dependencies) if that site is non-Flash than if it has any Flash on it?
Probably the most promising answer, but it looks like for now the only safe bet is writing straight up java.

Thanks for the explanation! I understand the difference now.
Would you happen to have links to any of these offers? A quick (albeit minimal) search doesn't reveal a "free for a year" option on any of these, instead EC2 and Heroku have pricing calculators that imply free only if hardly used.

In all of those cases I also presume I need to "bring my own" DNS registration and forwarding - whereas some of the cheaper hosts will let you register a name for a year as part of your subscription.

Thanks!
No offense, but if you didn't get accepted, wouldn't it be better to not follow your advice?

It would be cool if there was "computer vision as a service". Just post a pic to the URL, and it sends back a string describing what it is.
Very useful, fun and even has research value. Draw a circle and find a lot of emoticons. I couldn't find any of the letters from my mother tongue though, hopefully they will be added.
One thing I've been waiting a long time for someone to announce -- and realize I probably have a long time to keep waiting -- is a light, subsonic jet that can do NY-SF without refueling, in about 6 hours. The current VLJ projects (Cirrus, Honda, Diamond, etc) don't have a range that comes close to that, nor do decommissioned NASA/USAF jets (which, though they can be much cheaper and obviously way faster, devour gas). Especially if you want to go international: either you're flying essentially an arctic route and bringing survival gear for a 3-day trip, or you're buying a $20M+ jet. A VLJ capable of the North Atlantic tracks? Amazing.

If I ever have the resources, and Rutan is still designing aircraft, one of the first things I'd do is see if I could commission him to design that plane. A very long range, low-cost, 2 or 4-seater would be huge.
The visibility APIs look useful. Why didn't anyone come up with that before?
new will be anounsed yet. . . .
Maybe it's because so much of Silicon Valley is left-wing, and the military is more of a right-wing institution.
Celebrating The End of 11.11.11 with a Bunch of Free Gadgets
Here is the deal. I need the emails of people from Hacker News so I can send out ONE (no spam, I swear) invitation to the startup I'm working on. Here is what I'm willing to dedicate to achieving my goal.

I made this page with a quest: http://iamsmartandpromisetokeepthisinsecret.com/indexz.html

Whoever passes it first gets an Amazon Kindle. If you complete it 11th you get to choose between the Kindle Keyboard and Kindle Touch and so forth. The more people who complete the Quest the greater the prizes become.

1 - Kindle

11 - Kindle Keyboard / Kindle Touch

111 - Kindle Touch 3g / Kindle Keyboard 3G

1,111 - Kindle Fire

11,111 - Unlocked Motorola RAZR 4G

111,111 - Canon EOS REBEL T3i

1,111,111 - Trip to Paris for a week

11,111,111 - A trip around the world for 2

111,111,111 - A brand new BMW 3 series

1,111,111,111 - A private jet

BTW, US only, one per person.

P.S. Amazon has nothing to do with this, I just love Kindles :-)

### Live coverage:

- Nobody has passed yet.
I also think the new design is a step backwards in usability. And yes I thought we all learned by now that symbolic icons are not as good as text labels. That's pretty much the point of human languages like English -- they are symbols which have a meaning, and you arrange them in different ways to convey different meanings. Given a choice between some arbitrary shape and the text "STOP", guess which one will more clearly and unambiguously convey "STOP"?
I use something similar to this, but I also translate it into German.
Skam
Incidentally this is exactly how I feel about every iPhone UI I've seen. A bunch of cute icons, but no clue as to how they will behave.
If you want to ensure that your new hire will stay with the company for four years, you put that in the contract. You then negotiate a compensation package that factors in the opportunity cost to the employee of granting you an exclusive right to their services for the next four years. This compensation will consist not of "maybe-someday-we'll-all-be-super-rich-won't-it-be-grand dollars", but instead "we're-a-startup-and-we-don't-have-many-of-these dollars". This will be expensive.

Fortunately for you, dear founder, there's an alternative (at least there was, until these guys ruined it for everyone). Instead of requiring the employee to commit up front to stay for four years, you structure the compensation package in such a way that the employee has an incentive to stay, but isn't required to do so. These packages are often called "golden handcuffs" because they bind an employee to an employer for a number of years, the result you're after, in a way that relies on a large signing bonus of "maybe-someday-we'll-all-be-super-rich-won't-it-be-grand dollars" that is to be disbursed annually over the life of the agreement.

You and the employee both hope those dollars will eventually be worth something, but right now all you know for sure is that you have a lot of them. It's a trade that works for both parties; you keep your employee if those dollars prove valuable enough to compensate for the opportunity cost incurred by the employee in continuing to work for your company, and the employee has the freedom to move on if they don't. It's the "golden" part that keeps the employee around, not the "handcuffs". And remember that it was you, the employer, that chose to do the deal this way. You would have preferred regular handcuffs, but didn't have enough "we're-a-startup-and-we-don't-have-many-of-these dollars" to afford them.
Ha-ha, you still have a chance to grab a first Kindle, though.

I would not say that, no. Google's search homepage does not have a primary function that is similar in any way to Gmail's primary function.

The Gmail homepage, of course, should be showing you as much data as possible; as many emails as possible with enough contextual data and UI to read/delete/sort them.
Not sure where Wolfram Alpha gets it from, but that sort of data is available from, for example: https://www.flightstats.com/developers/bin/view/Main/

I don't understand why you have to "develop hardware" for this. Unless you are willing to produce hardware at a loss its already incredibly cheap to take off the shelf parts and put together a media box. To me it sounds like a lot of over engineering and blatant waste of resources.

Banks India,branch location,ATM Location,Loan Schemes 
Banks India gives complete information about list of banks, branches, ATM's in India. It provide about Banks Name, Contact address, Website address and including e-mail id. There are thousands of branches located in India. Banks India provides all branch information with IFSC code,MICR code and other details about branches. It also provides List of ATM location details with appropriate address.
This is pretty funny. Reminds me of how Steve Jobs dismissed it at the D conference when Google TV originally launched by saying something like "Google will find out in 6 months" how difficult the TV market is.
It says under the table "locations based on projections of delayed data" I would guess that they look at where a flight plan is going from and to and interpolate in between.

Why don't they automatically update yet like Chrome? Having to download something every couple of weeks is a huge annoyance.

But they do: my version of Aurora notifies me when there's a new update that's been downloaded, and if I don't click it then, it updates the next time I start firefox.
That's my feeling too - perhaps it's also a function of how many products you think might be suitable for a person. eg. if I'm looking at iconfinder.com I like 100 to a page, in a grid, so I can scan the icons really fast, little scrolling. I'm going to eliminate 99% of the icons very quickly.

But with teas, it's perhaps not so obvious, so the vertical listing seems to work better to allow people to choose.

I still do not understand why the old interface cannot be made available for another year or two.

The visual changes are obviously just cosmetic with little to no backend modification.

It definitely feels like designers were given complete override to engineers.
Pincus and his financial backers were looking for ways to maximize their own wallets without having the Skype fallout of firing people before the IPO. This was simply the reason for the clawback.

If he just fired the people there would have been a big blowback like what we heard happen when Skype fired a group of employees before the Microsoft acquisition was a done deal.

Pincus is a ruthless and shrewd businessman. From the co-opted game designs of others to cutting out some employees from the IPO's rewards, he is definitely not someone who can totally be trusted. He will do what's best for him.

Skype, Groupon, and Zynga are showing a more cutthroat way of doing business in SV. The high valuations that their investors entered into these deals are demanding ways to squeeze out as much of return as possible.

Google, Apple, Microsoft, Yahoo, and the old guard were all about maximizing both investor and employee shareholder value. Now it seems its mostly about the investors and some "worthy" "chosen" few.

Be careful!
I, too, thought this. Not from recruiting, but too many years in academia where nobody ever talks about a résumé, but uses curriculum vitae instead.

The general problem is fairly easily isomorphic to traveling salesman, so if you can get even O(n^2) you're already making simplifying assumptions that mean you can't solve the general case. Further, with n=20, I wouldn't usually worry too much about asymptotic performance unless you're in exponential territory.
I downloaded and ran it. Here's a few observations:

1. Mozilla is stating that Aurora has focused on enhancements in HTML5, but aside from the new visibility API for tabs not being viewed, both Aurora and Firefox score 314 on http://html5test.com (behind Chrome).

2. Aurora loads (warm, not cold) at about 2.1 seconds for me, from run to display. In context, that's about half a second faster than Firefox opening (again, warm) on the same computer, as Firefox opens in about 2.6 seconds.

3. This release seems like the kind of thing very easy to glaze over because it doesn't have immediately apparent differences with Firefox - power users and coders will find it useful and appealing.

Try reversing the search. After I queried "Flights overhead" I got a result set of a couple flights, including Turkish Airlines Flight NO 8.

I then queried for "Turkish Airlines Flight 8 location" and got the current trip and location, which is indeed right on top of me. Now I can see where my friends and family are when they come to visit!

Also, I've skimmed through your blog post but I couldn't find any mention of what your startup actually does.
