His major point is that users regard bookmarking sites as a bank where they want their bookmarks safe and secure. I find that a pretty compelling difference.

So the statement still holds that if you don't pay for a product, you are the product.

"A lot could be learned from making such an organization of the world's data (cough) public."

Given Google's business model, that seems like a pretty good reason not to make the raw numbers public.

I don't think Sliders is a good reference for discussions on health care policy. I don't think you not spending money to build an object causes you to profit. Maybe you are using the term profit in a nonstandard way. It is wrong in every instance for someone's income to increase because they denied health care to someone who needs it.

IT Jobs Opportunities in Pakistan
IT Jobs Opportunities in Pakistan
I believe that we are presently seeing the results of a system which has (by and large) begun to fail on that massive scale. The main cause of this present recession have been IMHO due to the replacement of human labor with technology. Those jobs aren't coming back, and the only way for those people to get employed again is for someone to gain applicable skills--such as technology.

I was being VERY optimistic. The system I just described would be roughly modelling the free market system, which education is not. Wholesale governmental support of the present system will make it much more "resilient" than it should be.

The good news is that the internet works in our favor--we already have alternative tools which mitigate the lack of good schools. I'm talking about Khan Academy and MIT OpenCourseWare, of course.

"10 cents motivates you to put in your credit card number if you haven't - and then the difference between 10 cents and 99 cents for other apps later is pretty trivial psychologically."

If the difference between 10 cents and 99 cents is pretty trivial psychologically, why would this stunt persuade anyone to put in their credit card number if they haven't done so for 99 cent apps?

I know this is off topic but beware of Mint. As they say, if you are not paying then you are not the customer.

EDIT: ooh -4, I guess ya'll REALLY didn't want to be warned. It was just intended as a friendly warning but in reality I don't care what you do, go ahead use Mint all you want then.
> but because she wasn't employed by an official media establishment.

What the hell is "official" media establishment? It seems that the judge is saying thet there are separate "official" and "unofficial" establisments but if that is the case, who decides what is official and what is not?

How could LinkedIn possibly work for entrepreneurs? I see it as a tool solely for head-hunters. Given the focus of this site, the Facebook and Twitter apps would be a better suggestion than LinkedIn for team messaging and Press Releases.

A lot of the middle age geek crowd swear by Yahoo Messenger in my experience, so an app which could do that IM protocol, or all the different IM protocols, would be my recommendation for team messaging.
Well being open source meant that we released the first prototype about 2 months after we started development. We got lots of bug reports and feature requests but the last 5 months have been primarily focused on development of the platform, web application and starting the Android/iOS apps.

All of which we release as early alphas as soon as they're functional.

Not sure if that answers your question though. We're not super structured with the feedback we've gotten so far --- we just track bugs and issues and prioritize them.

Very interesting.

I'm also working on a senior undergraduate thesis project in a vaguely similar domain (static typechecking of Python, github.com/jruberg/pyty), so I have a couple questions:

- Is the code open source? If not, did you just choose to keep it closed source as your work on it for the thesis?

- The site mentions that it's statically typed with type inference; has your thesis work also involved formally proving such things?

- Is the goal of the thesis to make something academically interesting or practically useful? Personally, I've struggled with balancing time and wish I could focus more on packaging and making my project accessible.

"Design Patterns needs to be read with the understanding that the patterns are for specific types of languages and are not universally applicable."

Not really. I've found a use for design patterns in just about every language I've used. They're not all equally useful, but that was never the book's claim.

It's become a little fashionable to be cynical about Design Patterns, but most of them have held up well. A few of the patterns were always obscure (even at the time of writing), and a few others are trivially implemented in newer languages, but honestly, there are a lot of people who are doing a poor job of re-implementing the patterns, then doing an worse job of communicating their work. There's something useful about the notion of a consistent engineering vocabulary.

Also, I talk to a lot of people who claim to hate Design Patterns, but haven't actually read the book. They've used Java, decided that they hate Singletons and Factories, and thrown the baby out with the bathwater. There's a lot more to the book than just Singletons and Factories.
Going Against the Grain
OK just an FYI for everyone on here who does spend some time reading this article: other than being plagiarized, this article is also fairly inaccurate in its assessment of Introvert vs. Extrovert.

Intraversion and Extraversion have nothing do with how smart the person is. Both types have issues that they need to overcome (society calls it 'maturity'). For example, a typical intravert may need speak more often while a typical extravert may have need to think before speaking. This characteristic only provides for the perception of one's intelligence and is no measure of the actual faculty.

Both, intraverts and extraverts, are equally suited to whatever jobs they do desire. That said, an intravert will have to work harder at being a salesman and an extravert, at a night watchman. The degree of hardness involved isn't that high... people overcome it on a daily basis. Its just a matter of experience and the resulting maturity.

The dopamine bit could be correct, I don't know about that. Its true that intraverts need more alone time to get reenergized - a situation in which extraverts would feel zapped out and very tired. Extraverts prefer more to be around people - a situation that makes intraverts very very tired.

I would not be surprised to see Paypal execs end up in jail.

I would be incredibly surprised to see bankers/paypal execs go to jail. It would almost restore faith in our system. The only bankers I've heard about going to jail in my life were a handful of scapegoats involved with the SNL scandal, a couple of "rogue traders", and Bernie Madoff.

That's a much tougher question. I am still early in the process, so I don't have a clean and clear answer yet. I am trying to approach FRP from the perspective of GUI design.

I honestly don't understand what you're trying to say. Seems to me like you're the only one here assuming anything (or even caring) about his interests.
If there isn't, can I suggest "No Code++"?

Tech humor/references aside, this is actually an effective way to explain intentions if it becomes ubiquitous enough.
I did a PhD in applied math, was a professor for a bit, and then dove into the startup world working on mathematical software. I'm happy to chat directly if you want (ping me by email, address in profile).

If I were currently a math PhD, I'd personally look toward some bio-info application since the bioinformatics startup scene seems (in my experience) to have a significantly positive second derivative. I personally went (~10 years ago) down the distributed systems / statistical computing route, which is good fun but (in my opinion) overly crowded right now.

As for languages / tools: I'd look at something like Python since Scipy/Numpy will give you a way to ply your trade. I'd also look at Weka if you want to do something more on the statistical / machine-learning side.

But, by far, the most important thing is being willing to work "in the trenches." A large part of working in software is solving problems like "Our optimizer's CSV parser is failing when we have nested quotes inside escaped HTML". Just picking the right algorithm for the right job is only 10% of the work; solving all the workflow's edge cases is far more time-consuming.
From:

"This past weekend, thanks to Android users around the world, Android Market exceeded 10 billion app downloads - with a growth rate of one billion app downloads per month"

I think it's pretty obvious that the graph is cumulative. They do mention the rate is accelerating, and a cursory glance at the graph tells that the delta between months appears to be increasing as well. I agree, though, that complementing it with a non-cumulative, per-month graph would be informative and interesting.

Besides the advertising that chc points out the thing that made me most uneasy was the lack of running balances.

A few years ago several credit card companies removed running totals from their online transaction histories, more recently they removed them from monthly statements also. It turns out that without a running balance customers are more confused about what is going on with their accounts and spend more money and don't notice certain fees. Running balances have been standard for decades and then the banks figured out they could screw people over by removing them.

When I noticed that Mint does not do running balances even though it is one of their most requested features [1] I knew who their loyalty lies with, they've proven that they'll make the user experience worse in order to please the banks. If Mint is not going to help me understand my money better then what's the point?

Completely respect your perspective but you should read the comments on this thread now that the service exists. It's much different from before it did.

Also, the idea did raise $25k on Kickstarter from over 400 backers. Curious why you feel that no one is interested in it. From what you said, you're probably not the target market.

I think Microsoft refusing to support NaCl is one of the best things they did. For once they pulled their head out of their ass and thought about the benefits of an open web.

I'm seeing a lot of comments here in support for NaCl, so apparently people have forgotten (or never lived) the days of ActiveX. I am not buying the conspiracy theory bits of this article, I also regret waisting time reading it ; however that doesn't mean NaCl isn't a bad idea.

As a multi-vendor standard with an
open source implementation ...

Dude, seriously, don't you think these "vendors" had good reasons to dismiss NaCl?

"Hey PayPal, do you realize people no longer trust you?"

The truth is they couldn't care less; they're a preferred point for e-transactions on eBay and elsewhere.

It's back when you wanted an iPhone but hated AT&T, they knew you couldn't get an iPhone with another provider, so they didn't give two shits about their crappy service and customer care.
The OP probably understands this, but is trying to get information on what typically happens to the property itself. Is it discarded and forgotten? Kept and used internally, perhaps also saved for a rainy day? Is it ever resold separate to the parent product/services they belonged to?

Does anyone here have any relevant anecdotes?
The whole point of NaCl is the sandbox that blocks access to Microsoft's Windows APIs. Adopting it wouldn't have benefited Microsoft at all. What Microsoft should have done is built the CLR into IE as a JavaScript alternative instead of bolting a crippled version on the side (in the form of Silverlight). They could have controlled the best Web development platform out there, but that opportunity is long gone.
