Because Amazon can't tell you went there (unless you use their iPhone app), and therefore there can't be a financial support passing from Amazon to the store. Of course, Amazon doesn't need to open its own Amazon-branded stores; they could just make an agreement with Best Buy or whoever. The key idea would be integration of the Amazon purchase system with the physical store.

So true. Someone should look at learning tools and systems from the "customer" perspective. Are they already interested/willing to learn? How hard is it to motivate them?

As a result, money ended up being a big part of the graduate program I chose. This allowed me to actually make money on graduate school. The lesson being: college is a system, and you should learn to game it.
I believe the point of this article was not to trivialize college debt but to criticize the media's frequent citation of college loans in excess of 100k for an individual.

Part of the debt problem has been the dearth of students going into high demand majors (mostly STEM). We on hacker news know the benefit of a engineering/computer science degree and being even marginally good at it comes with great rewards.

It's really too bad that students are sandwiched between the "Gimme everything now!" attitude and such a grim employment outlook, but since when should you not have to repay what you borrowed? It's almost like such easily available credit of the past few decades has caused us to forget what exactly a loan is: borrowing money with the promise to repay it in the future.

The intensity of a sound in an ideal gas is proportional to 1/r^2, where r is the distance between the sound source and the sound receiver (in a game, the player). Specifically, I2 = I1 * (r1 / r2)^2. You can use L = 10 log_10 (I2/I1) dB to determine acoustic intensity levels in decibels. Long story short, if you want to cull sound sources, you need to do it based on both distance (well, squared distance, which is thankfully less expensive to calculate) and sound volume.

Even that is an oversimplification: in reality, attenuation varies with every material surrounding the sound source, because it’s actually the result of the pressure wave being scattered and absorbed.

Sears does this in some locations. They'll have a small storefront with a low amount of inventory. Some best-selling products and seasonal products sit on the floor/shelves to be seen, there are product specialists working in the store who know the catalog, and you order what you're looking for. The employee will answer your questions, then the item gets shipped to the store or to your home.

It's not a huge operation, but they do this in a lot of small towns across America, towns that can't support a full store but would still like the benefits of having a location to visit.

They're really unrelated.

Tor proxies your traffic through several random machines on the internet, so by the time it gets to the destination, no one knows who sent it.

This captures and relays your DNS queries to OpenDNS in a new way.

DNS queries are used to translate a site's name ( facebook.com ) into it's internet address - 123.456.789.

OpenDNS has run a service which did the translation for a long time, but when you ask them to translate, it passes through your ISP, so your ISP could, in theory, see what domain name you were asking about.

This has a way of encrypting the request, so that OpenDNS can answer the translation, without anyone but you being able to see what you asked for.

Wow, the article's presentation of statistics is abysmal and certainly intentionally misleading. The chart produced, by including each bar as all persons that have greater than the level of debt, rather than into bins, means everyone in bars to the right is also included in the count of bars to the left. Sure, she explains this, but it is completely different than normal convention, isn't going to be expected or realized but any but careful readers, and the result is to support her assertion that debt levels are not that high by massively misrepresenting the left side of the chart.

Then there is the issue that she is not even including anyone who graduated in less than 6 years! It's hard to imagine that if we saw those numbers they wouldn't skew the curve as well. The whole presentation reeks of cherry picked data classification.

The expense of a Javascript line of code compared to a Java one
It's not exactly luck. Until today this question hasn't been active since 2009, when opened-ended questions were permitted. Now that it's been bumped it'll be closed shortly.
I'm really glad to see someone scrutinizing the use of JavaScript this way. JS is great for a lot of things - but part of the price of using it the way we are, using it do to more and more things formerly done by native code, is that it opens up more and more vulnerabilities that used to only exist in native code. Progressive enhancement is the way to go - and I think there are far too many egotistical developers out there who assume that their webapp is the special one that really, really, really needs JavaScript. It probably isn't. Every time I see that it reminds me of Raymond Chen's stories about one poorly-designed Windows app after another whose developers were convinced that their app was the special snowflake that should be allowed to break the rules in whatever way.

Get over yourself - and more importantly, stop putting barriers between customers and your bank account. Virtually everything that you'd do to make a site progressively enhance with JavaScript, is something that'll make the site more robust and tolerant to unexpected visitors and their environments. It's a bad idea to reject those visitors just because you didn't expect them.

>GOES-P was built by Boeing for NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA. Twelve days after a flawless launch, NASA and NOAA's Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-P (GOES-P) reached its proper orbit and was renamed GOES-15. GOES-15, is the latest in a series of meteorological satellites designed to watch for storm development and weather conditions on Earth. From its location in Earth orbit, GOES-15's state-of-the-art instrumentation will supply data used in weather monitoring, forecasting and warnings. It also will detect ocean and land temperatures, monitor space weather, relay communications and provide search-and-rescue support.

I had a very pleasant experience the two times I went to best buy: once to get a phone plan (the guy at the counter saved us good money by suggesting a nice text plan I hadn't come across during my research).

I'd go there again. And oh, I order lots of stuff from Amazon Prime too.

>Saying that kidneys should be "commoditized" to avoid the black market it's like saying that slaves should be legal to avoid people travelling in a container.

The analogy falls apart when you consider that one can legally donate ones bone marrow, but one cannot legally donate a slave. Thus the distinction between the two is not predicated on whether one receives payment, which is the policy change being discussed.

"people like WalMart make a business out of logistics, they only carry stuff where they have a strong financial advantage. It’s not impossible, but it’s hard to beat their prices when you factor in shipping."

Exactly and true except for long tail items.

In theory if you take an item and stock, arbitrarily 500 of it in a Walmart you only have the cost to ship 500 in bulk to the Walmart. The customer costs zero to come and pick it up (and they don't factor their time into the equation either). Intuitively that has to be much cheaper than using UPS or Fedex to have a driver stop off at 500 different places. Just like it would be cheaper to have everyone pick up their mail at the post office. Walmart is in essence an efficient warehouse.

And it doesn't matter who pays either it's a cost that someone has to bear. One way or another someone is paying for the delivery to the end user if the item isn't being picked up.

Hoo boy, that could be dangerous if there's something physically wrong with the plane (a non-functional aileron or stabilator, for example).
>If your plane engine quits - what would a human do?

This depends on a lot of factors. Some of them are things that a computer can probably be programmed to consider properly (e.g. specific cause of failure). Other factors require judgment, such as your more general situation: depending on where you are and what else is going wrong, you might chose to land the airplane at the nearest appropriate airfield, or you might choose to continue on to an airfield farther away where you can get better support while attempting to restart the failed engine on your way there, or you might decide that you have to get it on the ground right now, and that empty farmer's field over there looks good enough.

In case of more catastrophic failures like fire, computers become even more problematic because the sensors they depend on for inputs can be damaged or destroyed, leaving them with insufficient information to act properly.

>Near collisions - a constantly vigilant computer vision system watching out the window is more likely to avoid collision than a pilot with 30 seconds of reaction time.

People with a lot of money and resources have been trying to develop a fully autonomous system for avoiding impending collisions. They will almost certainly eventually succeed, but so far they haven't even come close to being as visual scan by human pilots.

Not having read the article provided, grass-fed beef has a much better fatty-acid profile, and that does not necessarily mean "more O-3!" but rather more likely, a lot less Omega-6, so the O-6 to O-3 ratio is closer to 2:1 which is what we're (theoretically) better adapted to, rather than the ratio in grain-fed beef, which can be as high as 14:1. Both types are "essential" as far as we need to consume them, but they way our diet has been distorted of late, with seed-oils and the "war" on saturated fats, the amount of O-6 we as a population get of late is way out of proportion. In general PUFA are easier to oxidize and possibly result in long-term degradation of health. Or you could (over)simplify and just say, hey, I need to eat what I'm better adapted to, and I would similarly insist that my food (the cow) also ate what it's supposed to eat, and they are supposed to eat grass, not grains.

Everyone likes new shiny things true, but the effort required to create new & shiny things consistently is extremely high, especially for a one man band. You probably know the effort required.

I get the idea that you like to see new concepts, but I don't get why you'd complain about people polishing old ideas. You suggest that it's keeping them from working on new ideas but just because something is new, doesn't mean it's good. Not every new thing someone puts out is gold. If they have a proven winner, then they should push & see how far they can take it.

This stuff seems to work incredibly well on Steam - I don't see why it wouldn't help here. The big value isn't just the front-page promotion, it's also the time limited sale for a bargain price.

I suspect the main effect in the long term will be to boost the app's ranking in its category (because of how many downloads it got) and in search results (based on downloads, active users, ratings, or whatever algorithms Google actually uses). Whether the app will manage to take advantage of that and hang in there, or will fade back to obscurity, will probably vary from app to app.
I've been selling for almost 2 years in the Android Market, have had millions of downloads of my free apps, and tens of thousands of paid app sales.

P.S. I have not been invited into this special $0.10 club. I'm guessing because my apps don't scale well for tablets at the moment.

Lowering my price in the Android Market has done nothing for me personally. Running a sale may increase the download rate, but it seems to even out or lose me money in the end. It doesn't increase enough to convince me to leave my apps at a lower price.

HOWEVER, I feel that if I had the opportunity to go all the way down to, say, $0.25, I would get tons of sales.

I probably won't run a sale again. The bottom line is that I make more money when my apps are priced higher even though I sell less copies. So, being that I'm in this as a business, and not a hobby, I have to stick with higher prices.
