aka "operation" vs "design". I agree, for targeting that explicitly as a pedagogical or philosophical end in itself.
A cool ideal, btw (though I think it works better with less powerful programming - more concrete, perhaps only regular or context free not turing complete).

In real (non-coding) life, there's usually overlap, of "adjustments". e.g. you're cutting tomatoes with a knife, and adjust the knife's angle, or your grip, or move the tomato, spin it on a vertical axis, rotate it, try sawing vs slicing, maybe change knives, etc. Perhaps you exclaim "This is the best knife for tomatoes!" and resolve to use only it henceforth. But many of these adjustments are unconscious, and part of everything we do. Is it "operation" or "design"? I think it's fuzzy in practice; we often chip away at things as we learn and adapt.

True, in software, there's usually a sharp line between user (operating) and programmer (designing). Customization crosses that line: macros, templates - even, hiding menus you don't use.
Is hiding a menu "programming"? While not turing complete, it's a step closer to it.

I agree there's not much market for the combination, in itself. Programming is so accessible these days, if you want to do it, you just do it. Probably starting with HTML "programming", then Javascript or PHP. It even looks like a real website! It's like hypercard, but global.
Agreed. What's next google acquiring four barrel?
Or find this strange and mysterious thing that even coffee shops have figured out called a "business model". Amazingly if you charge just a little bit more than what it costs to provide the service you can keep on going like this indefinitely.

OAuth is a mechanism by which an application can be granted authorization by a user to another application.

The identity question is not in any way addressed by OAuth. It is up to the application implementation to handle identifying the user creating the grant.

The link you provided basically establishes the same problem which is always the case - if someone is watching your (unencrypted) traffic, you're hosed.
Off topic to the acquisition, however, not being a Gowalla user, I went to gowalla.com and looked what they have to offer.

Naturally, I look at my town, Tel Aviv[1], and was shocked. Tel Aviv has much more to offer than what it is listed in that guide, and in my opinion, it is far more attractive city than it appear at gowalla (for instance, some photos are rotated upside down, others by 90 degrees).

Perhaps it takes more than just "snap a photo, type short description, we will get the location" to make a tourist guide.

The Google Webmaster Tools site performance is being measured through multiple data points which can include:
- People on dial up (yes these still exist)
- People in other countries, if you have not taken care of cashing or CDN, your website might load slower for far-far away visitors
This represents an average across all the data points being measured.

The way the data is being captured, is through:
- Google Toolbar
- Google Chrome
- Google DNS services

Your observations of the speed and the improvements are not always similar as the ones from the aggregated data Google has access to.

I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish with the dis-allowment of the next urls in robots.txt. Can you explain more what your hypothesis is in this test, and how you would measure success?

"costs nothing to duplicate"

I have a challenge for you. Make the last Metallica album in your home without making copy. How long do you think it will take you? How about Photoshop?

If you find it's difficult, it's because the original is what costs money, not the duplicate.

I also find it interesting that you can't see the value in bits that "cost nothing to copy".

Yet, with currency, it's just ink and paper (physically worth considerably less) that represents much more in value. I'm not sure why this concept is so difficult to grasp when we've already been using it for many years before digital content.

Is there any difference between Wordpress hosting your blog vs. Google+?

If anything, Google+ gives me some additional flexibility like audience control. For example, I could write general long form content on Google+ for mass consumption and also use it as platform for sharing content with a specific set of people (in one or more circles). Why go to (and expect) other people to follow you to each different social site for content (images, status updates, etc.) when I can compose all of them from a single place and have fine-grained control over who sees each piece of content?

Just because I can set up a personal blog site (whether hosted myself or by others) doesn't mean I want to spend the time doing so. If creating content and making it available are my top priorities, Google+ appears to be a good, centralized place to publish.

EDIT: Removed a dangling "Having".

No doubt that is crazy, I created an ICQ account back in the 90's, and used it probably 2 times, maybe I need to go digging through my old email archives to dig some of that stuff up, I don't know if it is a low number, but they where not around long when I created it, I remember that much. It seems strange to me to pay that kind of money for just a low number. Whats the deal, does it give you some kind of street creds or something. I have been on Skype since it came out, 2003, if I recall correctly, so I am not too up on things like ICQ numbers being worth money.
Just to take the headline without the context:
being rich and being smart are not necessarily synonymous and one never required the other.

In other words, smart people often do NOT aim to be rich. They have more interesting goals and they usually either sacrifice "common wealth" for them, or are just ok with a decent amount of money. Money's nothing. Money's not a goal. Never been.
Smart evil people go after power control and knowledge. Money is a side effect. Dumb people only go after money (which comes and go, really).

> This assumes that you can evenly distribute your transcoding load over the course of a month.

No it does not.

A low priced quad core is already in excess of their highest listed service, for less money.

Put a dual hex xeon into service and you have at least 10x the capacity (remember that even HD transcodes at faster than real time), and it pays off in less than a year.
Thanks for this. I did not know such a waiver existed. I searched the "Office of Research" website of my school, but I did not find any information regarding such a waiver. I will talk to a professor to see if my school has such a thing.

Also one of my professors said that schools don't usually go after students making companies with university related research. Unless the company gets really big. But if the company gets big, then they could easily settle with some cash.
Figure out what they do that you don't. Figure out what they do that you don't. See if there is any potential to work together, or, whether to just remain friendly competitors.

You need to ask yourself if you really want a partner or what they can bring to the table that you can't already get.

If it is early enough in the game and there is some potential and you don't mind giving up some control, see if you can work together.

If you feel that you won't be able to work with them, then I would turn it into a meet and greet and see if there is a way to divide the world.

If he has control over the domain but not the server, it's man in the middle. He'd have to redirect the nameservers to a new server, which would either request html from the original server and add malware on the fly, or create a replica of the original site with extra added malware.

Either way, though, without the private key to the SSL certificate, which he won't have without the original server, he can't pretend to be the original site on the other end of an SSL connection.

My experience has been the the opposite, I stopped contributing to user forum based sites after I left /. and did not do so for a long time. I read HN for a while before deciding that it was home, and it was, because in my perception, there was a lot less "I'm the smartest guy in the room" conversations. Take that with a grain of salt though, because it has been a long long time since I have been over there. Things almost assuredly have changed since then. Has anyone else had the same positive impression of the exchanges over there? Most the posts I see on the subject tend to complain that there is still a lot of it going on.

But costs less. THAT is the point. (A quad-core is almost there, dual hex xeons will provide 10x capacity. Not enough? Add more cores. At $2000/mo, the payoff is pretty easy in less than a year.)

Look: You guys have a business which is not yet breaking even. Perhaps that will fix itself with a bunch more customers. But as with all businesses, once your invoices start showing up on the CFO's screen, he is going ask to design you out. He will walk down to the office of his head IT geek, who is always trying to justify his salary, and say: What does it cost to take this in-house?

You think the IT geek is going to say: Oh no. We need to have that in the cloud.

The Art of Minimalism shown at HN
The following lines are the entire JS stack HN is using to handle user votes. That includes DOM traversing, Event Handling and even AJAX-like posting without XHR.

In fact, these 18 lines are the only JavaScript code in the entire HN site.

function byId(id) {
return document.getElementById(id);
}

function vote(node) {
var v = node.id.split(/_/); // {'up', '123'}
var item = v[1];

// hide arrows
byId('up_' + item).style.visibility = 'hidden';
byId('down_' + item).style.visibility = 'hidden';

// ping server
var ping = new Image();
ping.src = node.href;

return false; // cancel browser nav
}

If I was assigned to a task of building a social site like this one, in other words, reddit/digg/hn clone, perhaps site was serving jQuery, JQueryUI, backbone and underscore combined into a minified file, all in all to have a "nice and elegant cross browser MVC model which let users vote up/down/flag posts and updating the UI asynchronously".

Now, do not get me wrong, I am not anti modernism or fancy/slick UI. I do want my products to produce a polished and smooth experience, yet, we can learn a lot from this, as we aim to build something people want, release early, and often, etc.

In just the last three years, Google has gotten into mobile devices, social networking and now allegedly e-commerce, Amazon now does full-on computing devices (with Google's OS) and Microsoft has the #2 search engine.

This report seems like the oddest one yet. Does a shipping service even qualify as organizing the world's information and making it universally accessible and useful?
I registered on your site and took it for a spin - very well done.

We initially geared our site towards teachers, but later learned that wasn't the market that was willing to pay for our services. Maybe your experience will be different.

It is a slow process. About 1-2% of our customers convert to paying accounts. When we started limiting what was free it seems people stepped up to the bat and subscribed to a paying account.

Note - your prices seem very low. You could experiment with your price structure, people might value your service more than you realize.
I've known that women often complain about how uncomfortable mammograms are, but looking at the picture of the machine Xeni tweeted made me realize for the first time how medieval the procedure actually is. I've seen pics of women going through the mammograms, but it's always been from behind-the-shoulder. This link has a NSFW pic of the procedure for those (like me) who didn't actually know how the procedure went: http://cancer.osu.edu/patientsandvisitors/cancerinfo/cancert...

There's got to be a better way, I can see why some women might be reluctant to have one.

Stay strong Xeni.

I think not enough emphasis is being given to audience management. If I write a blog entry, it's public for all the world to see, and, more importantly, it's public for all the world to comment on. With Google+, I can limit who can see and comment on my posts.

With traditional blogs, you don't get that sort of fine control. Either you have a post visible to everyone, or it's private and only visible to you. Either you have comments open, or comments closed. Yes, you can moderate comments, but that gets to be troublesome for anything more than a trivial number of commentators.

Google+ takes away all those problems. Your posts are visible to only those whom you're addressing in that post. In essence, Google Plus allows you to multiplex a single blog among multiple audiences by making posts only visible to certain circles.
