I don't think it is an edge on pricing but more an edge on the freedom. Flickr make it horribly difficult to export all your photos with the metadatas, the comments, etc. And Flickr can delete your account as they see fit without any due process whatsoever (this has happened on several occasion), as you mention the annoying ToS.

Also when Flickr will close (merge, bankruptcy, etc.) what will happen?

Sure there is that step to move away from Flickr but once you escape you can do whatever you want. You can host it yourself, you can host it on openphoto, with enventually your own domain (move away, keep the URL), something you can't do with Flickr (but can with some other services).

Etc.
If you're a coder or tech just wait until January, companies start deciding who to hire and advertising work then. Until then just chill out, go to the movies, do stuff that isn't computers and decompress. The panic will pass shortly.

If you were close with your coworkers, invite them on linkedin and maybe ask if they all want to go get beer.
that's it, thanks

Good idea, I'll check it out.

one comment:
"We thought about how most people meet. Generally, a person will see someone, be attracted to them..."

That's not the first step. The first step is context, e.g. you're at a party thrown by a mutual friend.

That first step is important, it's context and that's what needs to be fixed. In the real world "dating contexts" are fairly limited, e.g. there are only so many parties you can go to in a week, only so much time to participate in a hobby with someone else, etc, etc.

I look forward to seeing this app evolve. If you address the "context" issue it could really take off.

Really? At least it's https, but how about building a proper package nightly, or commit-ly? You already assume ubuntu and apache, so this could be just a static, easily uninstallable deb. The script makes loads of dangerous assumptions.

"apt-get upgrade --assume-yes --quiet" - please don't assume stuff about other people's systems.

"apt-get install loads_of_stuff" - this effectively makes it impossible to remove all unneeded deps later on.

"ifconfig eth0 | grep 'inet addr:' | cut -d: -f2 | awk '{ print $1}'" - that's bound to fail in many cases - either return just 0.0.0.0, or try to find the actual default interface:

DEV=$(ip r l match 0 | grep -Po '(?<=dev )\S+')
IP=$(ip a s dev $DEV | grep -Po '(?<=inet )[^/]+')

Otherwise - I like the idea :)

It doesnt really matter. Whether this woman is liable for defamation or not, the judge's opinion on that law is important. Precedent now says bloggers are not journalists in Oregon.
Stripe API Implemented in Haskell (hs-stripe)
`C-u SPC` which pops the mark. This allows you to go back to different places in your buffer quickly. For example, if you are editing a program and need to add an import statement, you could do it like this: `C-SPC M-< [add your import] C-u SPC` and you'll be back to where you were editing.

If you are using transient-mark-mode, you can use `C-SPC C-SPC` to active and deactive the highlighted region. That'll still leave a mark.
Oddly enough, in many government departments there's also a huge need for "open data" to be exposed to broader audiences inside the firewall. It's hard to work collaboratively when every group has their data locked inside a crap Access database or an Excel spreadsheet.

Makes sense, I guess I didn't focused the video to explain what it solves, my bad. Well the goal is to make it easy the development of Node.js application when you work with a lot of asynchronous operations, which turns to be like 90% of the work you do in Node.js. Because Node.js works in a asynchronous way, so you have to write a lot of callbacks to work with the results when they are available, Fire.js uses JSON documents to define the behavior you'd have to write in plain javascript. With fire.js you don't have to write callbacks, just put expression calls in a JSON block one after the other.

{ "@DoThis": null, "@ThenDoThat":null }

Under the hood everything will be async.

If you want to give it another try, load the video at minute 10:58 and I will try to explain what it does and how it does it :)
It's because of their "Hotel California" strategy: you can check in but you can't check out.

Seriously, once your company is using SAP, it's rarely going to be worth rejecting them. It will be more cost effective to just pull SAP data out of SAP and use it in whatever way you need to than it is to try to customize SAP or get a new system that better fits your needs.

A big reason they stick around is because decision-makers are so fearful of changing very basic systems (i.e. payroll, accounting, etc).
The nice thing is that many commands set the mark automatically. So in your example, there's no need for the initial C-SPC.
No, no, I mean this guy claims that PayPal was not aware that Regretsy was having troubles with PayPal. Think about that. Think about the utter failure of management and customer service that that concept implies.
I find it perplexing that someone with a science background could have said this: "Gary Martin and Sean Ekins are personal friends so YES, I have close connections with the subject. And I believe I can objectively write a good article about them."

He may have good information, and it's great that he's sharing that information. But being friends with the subject immediately rules out the authors objectivity. That information needs to be corroborated.
yeah, sorry about that, I guess I didn't spend enough time to create a landing page or something. If you want to give it another try, can you jump to minute 10:58? :)
Here it is on Hackage: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/stripe
PostgreSQL has multiversion concurrency, which means it will not do update-in-place (a strategy that makes concurrency very difficult); the result is that any part of an individual row, such as the entire hstore/xml field (but also including any other fields with types such as integer), cannot be "incrementally updated", and must be replaced (by which I mean, having a new one written and the old one effectively garbage collected at a later time) "whole hog".

Good questions. One of the goals is to allow users to continue using their existing workflow. So we've got plans to make plugins available for as many apps as possible (aperture, iphoto, lightroom, etc).

We've also got sync features planned to sync your Flickr or Picasa account to your OpenPhoto one. Not sure what Picasa offers over OpenPhoto but Flickr has a community which you may still want to share photos with. Same goes for Facebook.

On Android you can set every photo you take to be uploaded to OpenPhoto if you're using the OpenPhoto app or not. We're not interested in fighting to be the default photo app. If we are, then great.

Not sure if that answers your questions. If not you can drop me an email (jaisen@openphoto.me) and we can discuss. I'd love to know how it does or doesn't work for you.
I would just suggest more screenshots of the interface, on openphoto.me and theopenphotoproject, because that lets me understand it much faster than reading copy.
> I don't see how law enforcement is more of a public good than education. There is enough wealth in the country, and enough means to provide decent education to everyone and decent law enforcement. Why is education not a public good when law enforcement is?

I don't see how law enforcement is more of a public good than donuts. There is enough wealth in the country, and enough means to provide decent donuts to everyone and decent law enforcement. Why are donuts not a public good when law enforcement is?

What, you don't agree with the use of public funds to supply the basic human right of donuts? Too bad, you have to pay anyway whether you like it or not.

If that sounds ridiculous to you, you now understand how many people feel about other uses of public funds that you happen to agree with.

I don't think he meant to say "anti-free-software" in that case, but rather "anti-free-software-as-a-service". Specifically it's the "service" part that shouldn't be free, primarily because it's an ongoing cost to keep it running, where as the development of the software is a sunk cost.

Argh! If you want to improve dating using technology, stop focusing on how to arrange first dates. That problem is basically solved to 90%.

Focus on how to fix the real problems in dating, i.e. the things that happen between deciding to go on a date and agreeing you're in a relationship. No, I don't know how to solve this in a scalable way. Yes, you will create a lot of value if you can do this.

Actually, it does. If the judge was going to find the media shield law inapplicable because it's a civil action for defamation, he did not need to reach the much hairier question of whether her blog was a "medium of communication".

Judges are supposed to avoid making decisions that are broader than necessary to resolve a case. This judge has unnecessarily set a dangerous precedent.
Agreed, someone else said similar. Will add that.
I passed the challenge! I was able to do it because I tried implementing the solution myself from the problem statement, and made sure I had a correct solution before clicking Start. If you manage to code in the style Quixey has used, you can just diff your code and the buggy code they give you to find the bug. I highly recommend that strategy.
That would have been embarassing.
Please file a bug for the script bugs.

Let me give you an example from the IDE source code, Check this expression: https://github.com/firejs/fire-ide/blob/master/FireIde.Core....

You will see how I check if the file "package.json" exists, if it exists then I parse the content of the file. If it doesn't exists then I return false.

Because I didn't use javascript then I didn't have to write any callbacks to achieve the behavior. It's a lot simplier with JSONScript.
Online dating is a huge potential market.

Whichever service eventually "solves" online dating wont call itself a dating service. People don't use online dating because it is just that - online dating. The social stigma isn't going away.

Facebook can disrupt online dating by introducing you to Facebook users near you with common interests. Unfortunately, I am not convinced a startup can do the same, or I would be doing it.
I'm a user of Delicious for 5 years, over 4000 bookmarks. It was restructured, not shut down.
They killed the 'network' feature, which was the only feature I used really. I didn't really use the bookmarking.

I used it as a kind of lo-fi Hacker News. I was following the bookmarks of a bunch of interesting people. It would aggregate all the bookmarks of the people I follow into one list.

I found that it was a great way to find interesting stuff on a variety of topics. It was a fantastic complement to HN, so I'm really bummed that they killed it. :-(

I'd love to see pinboard implement this (if they haven't already).
See the irony: pinboard is a clone of delicious' initial version. it copied the idea, the visual design and started selling it.

In every success story of pinboard, I'm very surprised to see how people are impressed from a carbon copy.

Let me introduce myself: I'm a guy who bookmarks everyday for 5 years, on delicious. After the Yahoo acquire, it was redesigned.

And I was annoyed. I started looking at the alternatives. Most of them were crappy except Pinboard. It was a good copy of old Delicious.

And I decided to use it just because it was a good copy of Delicious!

Then, I noticed that Pinboard is not free. And what it provides is nothing but keeping some text on a database. Same idea, almost same design but it's not free. Let the owner explain why it's not free: it's unsocial. and it'll be online unless a 90% percent of users keep paying it.

It's not ethical, Pinboard. If I think that it's not a waste of time, I'll code some scripts to store bookmarks in Dropbox for your users. It'll be under WTF PL license so that you can sell it.
Is there a particular philosophy or school of thought (no pun intended) that leads you to this conviction? There's a difference between saying "I personally believe that everyone deserves a free public education," and saying education is a "guaranteed right that the government is supposed to deliver upon."

Or are you just saying that currently education is required by law and should remain so?
Including Related Objects in Queries
You know, we discussed many ideas that have such public elements, like "Where you are" public statements, but we ultimately decided against it because we felt it might be susceptible to stalker behavior. And I don't think a lot of people would be comfortable putting that kind of information out into the world publicly. We kept coming back to the realization that a private chat is where information has to be exchanged.

We also feel that the simplicity will help encourage new users as the months and years go by. We think most people stay away from online dating because of the unnecessary complexity, when really they just want to be able to start chatting with people who like them, that they also like.
Just insults in two chances to list the serious "points" you claim I can't answer.

Insults are obviously your "points"... (chromatic had a similar experience.)

Please talk to a professional. I am serious. You're a bit beyond the usual sad trolls.
When one names a web site so and sucks .com then they are obviously coming from a standpoint intent on malice. Adding to that that the blogger in this case has also been regularly accusing someone of a crime they have never even been indicted on she in no way should be considered a journalist.
Most datasets that I came across in the "Data and Apps" section (http://www.data.gov/metric) were structured xml or csv files. However I spotted Excel files in the other sections (OpenData, Health, Energy, ...)
The references are the corroboration.
I don't think it's a single simulation encompassing all the data. That would be silly, as we obviously don't have a theory of "all social behavior given all data".

Rather, it looks like a general research platform for social simulations. The various models could be broad or narrow in scope, well proven or highly speculative. Perhaps some models will also be built on the output of other models. With all the models and all the data in one place, hopefully it would start to become clear which are accurate.
Since your idea is to recreate the experience of meeting in real life (I'm not sure if this makes sense, because people could then just choose to meet IRL - people date on-line for a reason), sell the same benefits that would convince cool people to attend a party and meet up.

Your app is party without a headlining DJ or popular promoter.

Sell the benefits that would convince cool people to go to a party:

- Convince females that your app discourages loser males who will spam them for sex.

- Convince males that there are plenty of females who are not justing wasting men's time.

It seems like those are the benefits you are comfortable offering. There are other benefits to users of dating sites, but it seems like date.fm isn't on-board with the things people normally look for from on-line dating: pre-qualified partners and easy sex.

I'd rather go to a party than meet girls on a phone app any day, but I'll def try out date.fm and give some more feedback, if it gets any traction.

Cool, thanks for the tip, I watched the video. It looks like you're doing some cool stuff, but it doesn't look appealing to me as a developer who is already comfortable with node.

The biggest mental leap for me is that you are using JSON objects to define sequential code. JSON defines an object as unordered. Obviously your compiler maintains order properly, however it just "feels wrong".

Like I said there is no way you can convince me to write code in a browser (unless there is an absolutely magical benefit), so writing fjson manually looks difficult both in the amount of extra syntax, as well as trying to connect the data to what it's doing.

The last thing that would hold me back is the debugging experience. Will i get back which lines im my documents are causing runtime errors, is there any static checking in place to make sure the strings of code are syntactically correct?

It's a big leap for me, but that being said, I definitely applaud you for developing something new and experimenting. I'm interested in seeing where this evolves.
Stoned vs Drunk: Which is more dangerous?
I imagine sometimes defamation suits are more about the reputation than the money. Also, can't you get legally defamatory content removed from search engines? I honestly do not know.
There must be hundreds of unfinished or even just undermarketed SaaS based sites out there developers have made. Personally thats the kind of sites i'd love to buy, i just wish there was a place that sold them. Flippa is the best known site for selling sites and its full of crap.
All of that data is also crucial if you want to sell advertising against your user base.
This was a couple of years back, so maybe the attitude has changed, but... The last time I reported a security problem to Facebook, I got an email warning me about my online activity, telling me that my account might have been hacked, and that my password had been changed as a result. Several weeks later the problem I had been trying to report was still there. I've heard similar experiences from several other people - so even though this guy looks like he was being irresponsible, I personally will no longer report security problems to Facebook because I don't feel like it would get taken seriously, and will probably only inconvenience me further. I'm not sharing this to flame Facebook, I just would honestly like someone on the inside to know this is a problem. I never knew about the whitehat link because all I see on the Help page is targeted towards victims that probably don't know what they're doing.
There's an element of inevitability here. It is natural that the most widely applicable material was written long ago, because the basic problems were solved long ago as well.

Today's problems tend to be more specialised, which means even a brilliant book about how to solve them isn't going to be as widely influential. Something accessible to mere mortals about functional programming probably has the best chance today, given the increasing penetration of related ideas into mainstream programming languages, but while there are some brilliant presenters working in that field, their focus is still typically far too academic for mainstream interest. Something about non-traditional databases, distributed systems, and why certain key problems can't be solved and there are necessarily always trade-offs, might also be applicable to many programmers today, but again I know of no natural figurehead to write a definitive book on the subject.

The drop-off in top-notch books also correlates pretty well with the rise of the WWW as a mainstream information source. Of all subjects, computing is one of the fastest evolving and perhaps the most natural candidate to find a home for new information on Web pages rather than paper. It's tough to write a book that won't date scarily quickly today, again partly because of the specialism aspect, but a Web page stays up-to-date for as long as you care to update it.

What's left? Lowest-common-denominator commodity books: X For Dummies, Learn Y in Z hours, the latest unsupported advocacy from some "Agile trainer", and occasionally a printed snapshot of an interesting web site as it was six months ago when the publishing process was started. Not exactly the kind of material written by the industry giants and sagely academics of 20 years ago, alas.
Would you want to expose people to your entire social world when you're still experimenting with whether or nor your even compatible with them? Dating experiments often go sour, or you might find out that someone is truly crazy. That's why we decided on a completely separate ecosystem that doesn't integrate with any other social platform. When things go bad, we think users would rather be able to quarantine the experience. In Date.fm, users can simply swipe and delete a match from their list, and it's removed on both sides. Neither can bother the other beyond that.

We totally agree about the online dating stigma, but we've got to be identifiable in some way.
Question: what happens when a guy copies pinboard (in other words, the old delicious) and open sources it?

A community evolves. And some of paid pinboard users switch to the free one because it's open source, some people implement some cool stuff periodically, it'll be maintained forever.

Another question: What happens when pinboard makes less money?

These questions were answered 30 years ago by OSS community.
