Your calculation of claimed percentage of robots is deeply flawed. Not only do web browsers aggressively cache CSS files, but internet service providers also aggressively cache them.

Though I'm a rare exception, my web browser is configured to ignore CSS completely, including both in-page styles and all additional loadable files. A configuration like this is very rare because it's difficult to do and the result often breaks sites. The only place where it is common is for people with visual impairments.

A well behaved bot will (typically) announce itself by its User-Agent string. A securely configured browser (IMO) will never send a User-Agent string or Referrer, and will reject cookies as well as ignore javascript --Needless to say, this breaks a whole lot of sites, but suffice to say, HN does have a higher percentage of people wearing tin-foil hats than the regular populace.
Would you have your surgery at a hospital where the staff were playing Flash or WebGL Facebook games on the intravenous drug pump management console?

This is quite a bit of FUD in it's own right. Would you use a computer who's only ability was to manage an intravenous pump? Apples vs Oranges. Even with medical devices being highly audited, not running Flash or WebGL & not being on the Internet, they still can end up with life threatening bugs.

I'm surprised that only 3.5% appear to be using 27" iMacs or 27" Apple displays. I thought they were pretty ubiquitous at startups now (though less popular than MBPs, of course).
The reference section on the Wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-it_note#cite_note-0 has some good links:

So it was actually two inventors at 3M. Spencer Silver discovered the low-tack adhesive in 1968 and spent 5 years promoting it as a product within the company. He eventually hooked up with Art Fry at 3M who recognized its utility for small notes. In order to get the company to recognize it as a useful product, (as I heard the story) they had to personally make the post-it pads and distribute them to the secretaries all around the company.

Eventually some executives got hooked on the notes. The initial product launch in 1977 was deemed a failure. It wasn't until 1980 that the product was re-launched successfully.

So even after the chemistry was done, 3M's own product developers had to do 8-12 years of internal evangelism to get this new product launched to consumers.

So, being pedantic, is Diaspora even a startup? I've thought of it more as an open source project. And even if we're willing to label it a startup, why jump to the conclusion that doing a startup was the trigger? Couldn't it just as easily be a breakup, family problems, various emotional issues, etcetera? Why do we assume that the incidence of depression and suicide is higher among founders than non-founders?

I don't mean to trivialize the interplay, often strong, between emotions and work, but we're making a lot of assumptions here that as far as I'm aware are unfounded.
> But whenever I start thinking about my customers, what they need, why they need it, and how cool it is to help them get it, it's almost impossible to get depressed.

Agreed. I have a 2560px horizontal resolution but my browser is only around 1200px.

It's their entire system, not just the customer-facing site. "The woes stem from Virgin’s switchover from its old reservation system, iFly, to the industry’s 800-pound gorilla, Sabre."

Simpler explanation could be just hormonal levels changes.

For example, increased testosterone levels correspond to increased stress tolerance. The testosterone levels increase in man and woman up to age of 35-40 years.

So if you just sit and do nothing, your body could work in favor of your mind, if you're young enough. Chances are you were.
One of my history professors in college said something I found quite remarkable. Let me share it ... he said in the history of humanity, there have been very few revolutions. When humans figured out how to talk was one. You can suddenly communicate with others! The other big revolution was when people learned to write. Now, you ideas can span space or time. The advent of computers, telecommunications and the Internet was another such revolution. You can now instantly connect with anyone around the planet! While the iPhone can't take the credit for all this, perhaps you see why I disagree with Thiel :)

Well, the hand holding is basically showing you how to build a simple application that has a few buttons and a few input fields. It's sort of like reading the simple 5 line example of how fork() works in a 101 class. The author writes 50 line programs for computer science books. However, when you're writing an application with a bigger scope the simple 50 line example isn't much use.

I think that it depends on what you're hiring for. This is analogous to Gladwell's, "there is no perfect pepsi, only perfect pepsis"

Ideally, githire should let one select from a few different hiring algorithms, which rank people differently.
The screen is small, and it's hard to type out a message while you're walking along or in a car. Granted, it's more an issue of form factor rather than a shortcoming of Apple's, but again, this is the gap that Siri is designed to close, and the whole basis for their Siri ads.
It's not a standard feature for the Google Analytics tool but I found code that adds viewport logging:

Ashkenazi Jews comprise a significant fraction of the population of Israel, and they are a rather intellectually fecund group. Ashkenazim earned roughly a quarter of Nobel prizes, Fields medals, ACM Turing awards, and over 60% of John Bates Clark medals, and account for roughly a quarter of Ivy League students.

Those figures above come from a population where Ashkenazi Jews comprise 2% of the population. They constitute at least 10x as much of the population proportionally, in Israel. (It's hard to get an exact figure due to admixture between Ashkenazi and non-Ashkenazi Jews.)

Having an abundance of such people, relative to America, has surely helped. The specific circumstances surrounding Israel and its birth help to channel its brightest people into startups and technology, and less into law, finance and policy, as in America.

Totally cool. But I am looking for a video that shows you trying to pry two items apart. I want to see how strong the bond is.

The video of the stack of items isn't enough to see how strong the bond truly is.
That's one way to look at it.

I don't remember it quite that fondly.

I also remember the missing replies, broken threads, spam you couldn't really do much about, endless flamewars about top-quoting vs bottom-quoting, etc.

Plus the pace was just glacial - it could take hours for some posters posts to appear.

Maybe is was better in the REALLY old days - a bit of quick, non-exhaustive google groups searching shows my first usenet posts in June of 1997.
I got a lot out of your slides. Sometimes it can be difficult to discern the point of the slide without audio, but I felt that your slides communicated the point pretty well. Thanks for sharing!
It's funny how until you are in a business, you don't realise how monstrously complicated it can be. I work for another GDS (if Sabre is an "800 pound gorilla", I suppose that makes us a small elephant), and the amount of work that goes into a cutover is just mind-boggling.

And if you think this type of transition is dangerous, consider the fact that this is a switch of the reservation system, not the DCS (departure control). That's when things can get really messy...
And regarding Europe, should the Eurozone start to crumble things could get pretty dicey. May be less relevant if your work is remote, but I imagine it will be profoundly uncomfortable no matter what.

That said, if the Eurozone crumbles, it will be profoundly uncomfortable worldwide.
Wikipedia's article on mvp (I know, I know), includes this:

>The canonical MVP strategy for a web application is to create a mock website for the product and purchase online advertising to direct traffic to the site. The mock website may consist of a marketing landing page with a link for more information or purchase. The link is not connected to a purchasing system, instead clicks are recorded and measure customer interest.

from: [wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_viable_product#Techniqu...)

That seems to directly contradict the implication of 'mvp' that you're using, which is that it MUST be a viable product that customers can use.

EDIT: The best part of markdown is when it isn't supported, the code is very readable. I say leave it!

Having worked with Sabre and Gallileo (did they merge?), I, too, can attest to the fun and joy of working with airline res systems. Wacky XML, fixed length fields, unique fields that aren't really unique. It's a right of passage that most devs should take so that they (1) Promise never to build something like this and (2) Learn to never work in travel.

Your comment identifies that my above comments aren't really depression -- more of a dissapointing lull, and should not be confused with a real clinical level of depression which I'm not sure I've ever experienced.
A few years ago online poker proponents thought they had the UIGEA squelched, and then it got tacked onto the Safe Ports Act in committee (when they reconcile the house and senate versions) and sailed through in a midnight session.

I think the idea is more similar to "accept you have a drinking problem." It isn't that you should embrace bad things, but that you should get rid of your mental aversion so you can respond consciously rather than instinctively. It might mean that you react less aggressively than you would have if you realize it's not really a battle you want to fight. It might also mean you respond more proactively if you realize you were ignoring a problem (as with alcohol abuse).

In practice, Buddhists do protest, but they tend to stop before the point where things turn violent (at least from my reading of history). As for why the people in that country put up with the dictatorship: A lot of people, regardless of faith, but up with bad governments for a long time. As a counterexample, though, IIRC monks in Burma were among the most vocal opponents of the junta.

OCZ Octane Review
For the 512GB capacity, OCZ lists sequential transfer speeds of 535MB/s read and 400MB/s write on the Octane. Only the 1TB model is listed with faster transfer speeds, measuring 560MB/s read, although having the same 400MB/s write speed. To put these claims to the test, we used our 2MB sequential transfer test in IOMeter. The OCZ Octane measured 492MB/s read and 374MB/s write, above the SandForce models working with incompressible data and just below the Samsung SSD 830.
As someone who works on Backbone.js, the level of conversation in the blog post and this thread is a bit disheartening. Client-side libraries aren't just matrices of features to be checked off ... we're talking about the style in which you think about and work with the concepts that construct your user interface.

I'd tend to think that attempts to glom together Backbone.js and Knockout.js will produce something less than the sum of their parts.

Here's Knockout's documentation: http://knockoutjs.com/documentation/introduction.html

Most of Knockout's API deals with binding JavaScript objects to web forms. If all of your web app's UI is essentially a series of web forms, then great! You're all set. The Knockout examples demonstrate this ability: http://knockoutjs.com/examples/

However, if your UI starts to move in interesting directions beyond filling out a series of forms, then Knockout doesn't have much to offer you (see LargeWu's comments on this page).

On the other hand, Backbone's philosophy is that your UI is your business -- jQuery is already great at extracting data from forms and other elements in the DOM, and there are already a large number of wonderful templating libraries for rendering HTML from JS objects. Instead, it focuses on helping you model your data in the browser: providing events you can observe whenever a model changes state, adding essential functions like "map", "filter", "find", "groupBy" and "any" to collections of models, giving you simpler declarative bindings for DOM events in your views, so that you don't have to worry about whether a particular piece of HTML is visible on screen or not, and so on...

But really, the best proof of "UI wizardry" is in the pudding. If you haven't scrolled through it recently, I encourage you to check out some of the amazing apps built with Backbone over the past year: http://backbonejs.org/#examples

(with all due apologies for boosterism)
Or say "remember to" instead of "remind me to". (Double-replying to make sure you see this as well.)
After struggling through using sbt and Maven/Ivy I can say it is categorically worse than what I have used in other languages including ruby-gem python-pip clojure-leiningen (a jvm language) and node-npm. When I say worse I mean doing what the majority of developers want from a module system: easily install modules, not provide a complicated mess of configuration and versions.

This isn't to say scala couldn't adopt a better system, but I don't think the community has an incentive because scala's main appeal is that it has a steep learning curve, but after you get over the hump you can do everything you want and more. I just think that high barrier to entry, as indicated by the post, may not be worth the benefits.
I have just re-tried WebEngage and it seems very snappy. It was probably a temporary slowness on my end. Sorry about that. I will edit that out from my comment.

No one is overlooking the way Israel treats the natives. They treat the Jews fine! Oh, by natives you meant Arabs? Well that would just be a fallacy to say that.

In South Africa, the minority ruled OVER the majority. THAT is the definition of apartheid. In Israel, the Majority rules the minority. Which is the definition of democracy.

Also, there is a reason they are called "Arabs" and not "Israeli", its because they are originally from Arabia, not Israel. They have no roots in Israel.
Intel to Support TRIM in RAID0 with SSDs
Exciting news for anyone currently using their new SSD in RAID0! Intel will finally be bringing TRIM support. Currently the only way for TRIM to function on an SSD is to operate in AHCI mode. This means that drives in high-performance arrays such as RAID0 lose the NAND cleaning benefits which could decrease speeds as time goes on or as the drives fill up. Intel has stated that current RST versions don't yet support TRIM, but it will be unveiling it with RST 11.5.
