Users' natural inclination is to read a site's content, as well. Why not design with that same behavior in mind?

What you're saying is that a site's design purpose is to get people to read content; so build the site using unreadable text so that you don't have to be aware of that purpose...I disagree, and made this little site for me and anyone else who wants more than pseudo-Latin nonsense that objectifies content.
Practices rejuvenation of human skin, complete rejuvenation of the old man.
The aging theory* states and proves that aging skin, its destroys the structures and weakening vital functions leads internal organs (kidneys, liver, heart, brain, and so on) to fatal illnesses and whole organism to death. This is confirmed by life. This is called the death from old age. The theory shows that recover the skin structures and vital functions will return old organism to young and healthy state. It is our way of rejuvenation. Skin as well as muscles, bones, hairs, nails has own mechanisms of rejuvenations and is able to restore and develop itself, own structures and functions. But it needs the help of specialists. It must be done in the Spa’s through physiotherapy, with massage, creams, baths and other skin renewing procedures. The ancients practiced this way. Egyptian Queen Nefertiti, for example. But they did it by intuition, not on science and not enough. They did not know that human organism does not have programs of aging (the human genome already decoded) and can stay young as long as the man himself wants. There is a method confirmed by medicine and life. All old people do not want to grow old and die from it. They want to be young. This way needs professionals and sponsors.
This is the essence of the idea. Thank you. Mr. Valery Chuprin

What do you mean by that? Nature, red in tooth and claw, and all that.
It's more about log analysis than just transferring the files over. Apart from splunk there aren't many projects which handle this well.

It also seems to have many input plugins apart from standard syslog. And that's great. I think we're way past the time where lines of text just don't work well enough. First you format your data to text, then you want to get your original data back from that text by parsing... seems like a wasted effort.

Hi, Adam Brault, &yet CEO here. Thanks for trying &bang. Our team has worked hard on it and we have a lot more work in store for it.

We've gotten some incredibly useful feedback so far (lots of "Well, duh!" moments).

We certainly would be grateful for any feedback you have and would be glad to answer any questions.
A PIMPLE REMEDY FOR TEEN ACNE
This is really very awesome. The keyboard shortcuts [1] are particularly well done and worth trying out.

Just a really great version 1. Down the line, it'd be amazing to have some sort of Github/Github Enterprise integration and/or Salesforce integration.

[1] Too few people focus on these, but they are absolutely key to get power users for webapps or apps in general. This is why Gmail is irreplaceable if you need a webmail ui and can't use gnus for some reason.

The funny thing is that it's not that hard to build an app around keyboard shortcuts if you design it that way from the beginning. Hopefully we'll see more of this.
So do long time emacs users just remember the keystrokes or have some kind of logic like that for them?

A bit of both. There is muscle memory of course, but they attempted to lay out the default key bindings logically: Ctrl-k is "kill" and Ctrl-y is "yank", Ctrl-h is the "help" prefix so Ctrl-h k brings up the "help" for a specific "key" binding and Ctrl-h f brings up the "help" for a specific emacs "function". Ctrl-a goes to the beginning of a line (a is at the beginning of the alphabet...) and Ctrl-e goes to the "end" of the line. Alt-a and Alt-e go to the beginning and end of a paragraph. Ctrl-b goes "back" one char at a time, Alt-b goes "back" one word at a time. Ctrl-f and Alt-f go "forward" by one char/word. Etc.

The issue is precisely that regulators are in bed with monopolizers. More regulation will only strengthen their stranglehold on this market. The proper response in this scenario is complete deregulation, allowing international players to drive competition in the currently stagnant market.
Thanks! We've got lots of interesting integration ideas in the pipeline. Stay tuned :)
I'm using this with some projects and enjoying it. Overall I agree it's a very fast way to know what everyone's doing. It is suited for a desk environment since it is desktop-only. (It's closest to working on the iPad but has some bugs.) The price seems a bit much, but we haven't fully ramped up usage and we'd happily pay for anything working well for us.

Can't even see site intro because my mobile browser doesn't support websockets. Please fix so I can at least read about why I might want to use your app when I get to a pc with a modern browser.
I only took a quick look at your site, but it seems ripe for some cool promotional event to kick things off. Use your app to chalk up your city with all sorts of hints that lead to a prize. Kind of like a virtual scavenger hunt. Then write about it everywhere you possibly can (local blogs, craigslist, social networks etc.). Could lead to some real publicity as well. Good luck!
I think a more basic question is how much is this service. They mention that the service is a subscription, but how much is it?
I have a feeling this may come down to boredom and creativity. When children are bored (e.g. there is a lack of stimulation), they tend to use their imaginations to entertain themselves.

Electronic devices carry wonderfully rich worlds and media. It's conceivable that such readily available stimulation may replace the need for a child to use their creativity and imagination.

At least - at some young age. Electronic devices can also open entire worlds. I just saw a TED talk where a 6th grader has been developing iOS apps. Without exposure to iPhones & iPads, that young boy wouldn't have made such creations.

So my uninformed, intuitive guess is that there's an age - or more accurately, a maturity level - at which a child can be exposed to apps, electronic devices, Internet media, etc, without any worry of stunting that sense of youthful creativity. At the right maturity level, such exposure may even unlock further heights of creativity.

BTW, I don't mean neglect, I mean boredom. I don't think you can achieve the same effect by totally ignoring your kids. :P

I have to disagree on using a broker for healthcare. From experience it is a lot easier to just call up Kaiser Permante than to use a broker who gives you a gazillion of things to choose from.
Great advice. The more you give to the world the more you receive back. (At least that is my hypothesis.)
The only real solution is reverse surveillance, watch the watchers.

Government leaders and bureaucrats have to be placed under relentless scrutiny. To some degree the US political system already benefits from this (Eliot Spitzer being ousted after financial monitoring turned out to be just a hooker, not corruption), but foreign authoritarian governments do not. Remove the troublemakers before they have the ability to do things like Assad is doing in Syria now.
Heh, I know the guy who piloted that way back. He still gets royalties.
I thought the landing page explained it pretty well.

I am not aware of an attempt to scientifically approach software engineering generally (though it seems like the type of thing that would have been tried). I have seen some pretty scientific approaches to performance and efficiency. What do you think should be done? Perhaps more peer review. Blinded testing of code complexity and development difficulty for different code systems?
Hey cool! We're a team of two so I'll be trying this out for sure. Your landing page lured me in perfectly. By the way, your <article> tags are rendering with a white background-color, but I assume they're meant to be transparent/#202020. I'm using FF 7.0.1.

We have a bit of a description of the features as you scroll down the page, but we're aware it needs to be improved.

In essence, everyone makes short lists of what they're really working on that day (or near future) then marks what they're actually doing as active.

Then you have a live dashboard view of your full team, can see each other's lists, and add each other. Throw in team chat.

But it's more than the features. Here's the philosophy: http://blog.andbang.com/post/6038837039/the-philosophy
What f word? Are we talking about? Foul? Folly? Full? Fickle? Fat? (btw, some people have started censoring this with f-word when talking about someone that is fat, kids camps are particularly bad in this regard, fat is considered a swear word!)

What makes fuck so different from any other word that society has demanded that we replace it with beeps and or "f-word" when in reality they are both the same thing? Instead of teaching kids that it is a really bad word and that it should never be said how about we start teaching them what it means, when it is appropriate and when it is not?
This absolutely needs an interface demo. While the page looks nice, I have no idea what the product actually does, and I'm not really interested in giving up my email address just to find out...
The really cool thing about money is that it makes an excellent points system. It's neat that you can trade green paper for physical things, but more importantly money is a way to keep score to two decimal places.

Often times when people talk about money they are talking about resource gathering. At some point the resource gathering turns off and the money becomes an easy proxy for points.

So I'm not sure that creating another Lisp is less cool, but it can't be easily measured. What if IBM uses your Lisp for everything they do, how does that compare to another guys Lisp that has 6.5 million downloads. Who is cooler?

If you want a full stack framework like Rails, Play is fantastic (http://www.playframework.org/) and is also now part of the TypeSafe stack (Play supports both Java and Scala).

If you prefer the more minimalistic approach to web development, or want to focus on building a clientside application, Jersey (jersey.java.net/) is an excellent framework for building restful webservices.
Slic3r is an interesting project that goes in that direction. Only for printing though. You can feed it an STL exported from sketchup and it will generate a toolpath. And of course it's all on github and completely free and opensource and multiplatform.

The major problem with it is that sketchup is a mesh editor, not a solid editor, so it sometimes exports geometrically impossible (non-manifold) objects.
With a small feature list and small, extremely-cropped screenshots? Not even close, in my book. Maybe those represent it accurately, but we have no way of knowing because it's just face + icon + snippet - context - content.
> Why would Android (3rd party developers) want to be so obviously using Apple's hard work?

Unlike iOS develoeprs, Android developers are not a homogenous group with a single vision. They are a diverse group of people, and there will no doubt be someone amongst them who will make such an app.

> In the middle of a patent trial?

I don't see the relevance of "a patient trial" to a 3rd party developer unaffiliated with Google making an app to harness Siri on Android.

> I'd expect all the big markets to not allow the app.

Fortunately, unlike iOS, Android doesn't suffer from a locked down app installation procedure that prevents sideloading. So the developer could just offer the .apk file on his site for all and sundry to download and use.
I don't mind it. It's well known from teaching that reading about something and actually doing something (even if it is the same something) is incredibly important. I find that writing the MATLAB code, even if it's just translating a known formula, has helped my understanding of ML overall.

On top of this, writing the Octave code lets me see line by line what the algorithm is doing as well, and it's a quick way to gain insight into the ML approaches by seeing exactly what each intermediate step is doing.

Finally, even when it's a "translation" I find that it's not that trivial to do. Seeing a formula on a page and being able to write that as vectorized MATLAB code has also been an interesting challenge.
Here is Copy-Paste from the home page. At what point should I start understanding what this is? I think I get that there is a suspense point and make me curious, but not strong enough to make me sigh up. In fact I will rather never sign for anything unless I have to.

I like cooking, but making a meal for just myself or my housemate seems pretty inefficient.

So I spent a few hours this weekend knocking together a site that allows people to post "meals" that they will be cooking in future. If you live nearby, you can eat a (hopefully) delicious home-cooked meal for £4 - £5. A restaurant in the area would typically cost £10-£15.

It's a little like GrubWithUs meets AirBNB, although I'm doing it purely for fun - I hack away at a startup as a day job.

If you're in London, pop by to one of my meals in the next few weeks!
He meant the opposite.

But to answer your question: Liechtenstein and Luxembourg?

So, for all intents and purposes, no... At least, not for anyone who is not already ridiculously rich already and therefore you could live anywhere anyway.
I guess it depends how you define slow. I've never been big on VIM but have used it a number of times. My biggest complaint with it is going in and out of insert mode. With emacs, as long as you keep learning more and more about it, all the shortcuts become muscle memory and you can whip through things pretty fast.

In my experience, the extensibility of emacs was why I kept using it. I don't really notice any "slowness" compared with VIM. It's not enough to make me go to VIM anyway. But either way, to each their own. It's probably best just to know one really well and know the basics of the other. I've never been big on the whole debate. They each have their pitfalls and benefits
No, I don't think it's really relevant. First, Switzerland is not in northern europe. Second, the program mentioned in the article appears to have been shut down more than thirty years ago. Third, it looks like the Swiss used to lock up troubled teens. While of course, teens are children, it does't read like they were locking up ten year olds to fold laundry.
This is going to sound like trolling, but compared to the European mobile telecoms services, you in the US are paying high rates for an antiquated service (specifically, non-GSM use is still common, everyday data speeds are slower, dropouts are higher, call quality is lower).

Judicious government investment into telecoms infrastructure in certain European countries has led to fast, cheap and stable communications. Government investment doesn't always equate to bad; if it's bad it means that particular government body did a bad job in that particular case, that's all.
"My fuck related question: why do some people on the internet self censor with asterisks in their postings? F*ck and so on. I have tried many times to imagine a logical thought process that could lead to this behaviour, but I cannot. Perhaps someone here who does this can enlighten me?"

In addition to what other people here have said: Some online forums will asterisk out swear words (at least some of them, based on how bad they think various words are, and on such a forum you can bet money that fuck will be censored). So substituting an asterisk for one letter is a way to get past the filters and say what you want. Then it becomes habit.
Top 5 Solutions to Acne Pimple-Free Face
Yeah, I'm gonna have to completely disagree with you here.

I'm a sysadmin that does a decent amount of automation and scripting work. Almost all of that is done in Perl. Among the other guys on my team, everyone uses Perl, except for one person who uses Python.

We had one person who came into the team as a Ruby fan. Within 6 months of working with us, she'd become a Perl fan. She told me she'd passed on Perl and gone to Ruby because she'd heard bad things about Perl. After seeing it in use and checking it out a little closer, she realized that almost everything she'd heard "bad" was outdated, incorrect, or overstated.

Outside of my team, I know lots of people who use Perl, a decent number of people who use Python, and a very small number of people who actually use Ruby. Yeah, there's a few high-profile apps in it, and yeah, Ruby on Rails got it a lot of attention for quick and dirty web apps, but it has a long way to go before it'll reach anywhere near Perl (or even Python) is.
Hence why I said "basically". I tether daily (including streaming the occasional leafs game, radio, etc) and haven't gone over 6GB.
Agreed. Ruby is very popular in a few smallish circles. It's still essentially unknown pretty much everywhere that isn't a small web-based startup.
Cool. Thanks for the feedback. It's definitely not as clear as it could be. We'll do better.
Yeah, I did 2 ai based classes, a probability class and tackled nlp for my honors thesis and still find I'm learning a fair bit from the ai class.

Yep. It needs to get a lot better. We'll work on that.
This looks awesome for someone like me - balancing cooking, healthy food, regular meals, and running a startup time is a major PITA. Food is regularly a burden rather than a joy.

Having a homecooked meal from someone nearby? Sounds totally spot on. It could be quick if I want to leave (could be some social issues), WAY cheaper than delivery, cheaper even than eating out, and presumably it'll be healthier than just drinking tea and alcohol instead of eating (my usual diet).

That said, critical mass if the big challenge here - sites like this take a huge amount of focused effort. Feet-on-the-ground city-specific events, marketing, networking, etc. And mealmogul could face an even bigger challenge for people like me who live in SF without a car, but up on Twin Peaks with few people around.

That said, I'd love to be eating home cooked meals from my neighbors soon, so I hope they can find a way to explode in SF!
Fear of Ignorance
By way of comparison, I'm living in Melbourne, Australia, and pay $55/month for the Nexus S w/ unlimited calls within Australia (including to other mobile phones), unlimited texts (IIRC) and 500 MB of data. That's for a one-year plan w/ Vodafone, and I didn't pay anything up-front for the phone. Needless to say I'm looking forward to upgrading to the Galaxy Nexus soon. :) My wife has the the same phone and same plan for two years and pays $45/month.

The Australian mobile phone market is very competitive, and it has a number of foreign players (e.g., Optus, Vodafone, Virgin). Australian fixed-line telecommunications are much less competitive due to the legacy stranglehold of the former government monopoly, Telstra.

IMO Canadians are far too complacent about government sanctioned monopolies or oligopolies (e.g., car insurance in BC, alcohol sales are provincial government monopolies, dairy product quotas, wheat board monopoly) that means they pay more for less choice, supposedly for their own good, when in reality it just enriches an old-boys network of politically well-connected players and condemns the protected industries to being being unable to compete internationally.

FWIW I'm Canadian.
Something important to note:

In an Ironman triathlon, the racers never go anaerobic, even the ones winning in the nine hour range. All of their training is directed towards building a base that lets them complete the race without going anaerobic. That is the reason why Ironman training is said to be harder than the race itself. 14 to 20 hours a week minimum. Once the body goes anaerobic, everything goes rapidly downhill. Tying this back to the original article, talent is the base that is maintained by focused training, so maybe base equals talent times quality of training times the quantity.

OT more but it you want to get into excellent shape, train for triathlons, even Olympic distance will make you feel good.
Besides the other specific/great tips in this discussion, get a top tech journalist to write about your startup. This will usually happen if you are very interesting _and_ you offer some form of exclusivity - e.g. during a closed beta, etc. Quora has a whole section on this topic, and it's very good. I remember Scobleizer himself giving advices there, if I'm not mistaken.
So, practice accounted for 50% of success; working memory accounted for only 7%.
Of course talent matters. Hard work matters more.

A hard worker with less talent will beat a talented slacker [tortoise & hare]. But a talented worker beats everyone. No surprises here.

However... if you work hard, other talents you do have may eventually find an application/be revealed [ugly duckling], because depending on the situation, a flaw can be a gift (and vice versa). So in hindsight, it may turn out that you were the talented one after all.
