I have observed this also. Right now I can predict that any episode will have two "myths" that are bound to be either about explosions, cars or alcohol, with the possibility of mixins.

The myths are gone, all that's left are busters, or rather blasters.
"I don't have any firm numbers" followed by "I'm pretty sure". Sounds like the beginning of a myth.
I've worked at a hosting company before, and yes, it sucks when your site goes down. They know that, and it reflects badly on them if your site is down. It's quite possible that there's a problem which isn't just an easy fix. Once, the data centre where half our servers lived had a fault... well... explosion. And the fire department forced them to shut everything down for several days. It sucked, but it happens. They're not deliberately dicking you around.

Yes, you are paying for your hosting, but you're betting your business on a budget supplier. These companies work by selling to lots of small clients and cramming them onto a server as tightly as they can. Even so called "business plans" from them often don't come with any actual SLA. You are paying for the hosting space and bandwidth. Service is an added extra which they're giving you. Just because you're paying money doesn't mean that you're their most important client; you're just one of thousands of clients who are also paying them money.

If you're serious about running your business, you should go with a proper business host. It may be more expensive, but any one worth their salt will 1) have better, personalized support, and 2) will often have guarantees or insurance in case something horrible happens which takes your site offline for days.

One last thing - don't be too trusting of "99% uptime guarantees". They sound great, but your site can be offline for three whole days a year without them breaking that guarantee.
3.5% of offsprings between these mosquitoes and "normal' mosquitoes survive. I wonder if these offsprings are immune. If they are then that means the experiment failed - In a few generations the population will be back and you might not be able to use the asme trick as before - those immune offsprings will mate with the engineered mosquitoes, whose offsprings may be immune also.

Apparently not big enough then. This was a lucky case. Wern't and apparently couldn't have undone any bodily harm that was caused.

If they indeed were several kilometers from anyone else, then they have miscalculated the ballistic trajectores so gravely that it's completely mindboggling to think of how these guys were allowed to play with explosives in the first place.

While I do like some of the MB Episodes, I'm not a fan of blowing up things with oversized explosions in general. Please note that explosives are dangerous. Leave it to professional use. Playing with fire will eventually get you burnt.

Accidents do happen, no one is infallible, but one should really go to the utmost of efforts when it comes to blowing stuff up or launching heavy projectiles into the air at great speed. At least if accidents happen because explosives were used for something useful, say, construction, then one could at least think that the damage or bodily harm was for a greater good, even though that is by all means a meagre comfort. However, when these sort of things happen for the entertainment (and the profits of the show, mind you!) of others, then something is really really wrong.
A Startup: Don't Try This At Home
I think you can thanks America's post 9/11 paranoia for a TV show not being comfortable with (or perhaps legally allowed) telling people how to make explosives.

I really hope they share what went wrong. When they deal with explosives they usually (always?) have an expert on hand to ensure things are done right, so it'll be interesting to see a post-mortem.

Launch conference is giving away 1000 free tickets to startups
True and I'm not trying to undermine the point that Paypal is a complete PITA but..

One of the properties of money is that it's value can be trusted. If money can be easily laundered then it can't be trusted and it's utility is questionable.
I agree. I was hoping for a little more content from Mr. Rose himself— especially what he plans on doing in the future for Digg and how he decided to deal with the problems that arose.

Facebook To Launch A Subscribe Button For Websites
Why so small reduction? The 30% cut that apple, google and facebook require is arbitrary and absurd already. The fair cost is much less than that and should be coming down with competition now that platforms are becoming commodities. (Oddly it's something that developers don't complain much about).
Is intelligence just a greater ability to rationalize wrong ideas?
From the site:

"We're giving away the first 1,000 tickets to the event for free to startups with under $500k in money raised and under 10 employees. There is a $1 processing fee."
HTC makes decent hardware, but really shitty software that no self-respecting developer would release and be proud of. They wanted to "brand" htc with thier own bs crap of shit.

However two funny things:

1) There are better alternatives out there than HTC software. HTC could have picked a partner to make the dialer/calendar/home screen.

2) HTC software is easier to use than default google 2.3 software, so htc was forced to customize.

HTC was in a damned if you do damned if you don't situation. They chose the rout with maximum friction: make software that cannot be upgraded via regular market updates, don't focus on software, don't outsource it to a good software maker that would allow that software to run anywhere. They wanted the "HTC" experience. We got it. It sucks.

I vowed I would not buy another HTC phone after the EVO. I will stay with that until HTC shows true improvement.

Fair comment: if the geometry is done right, the geometry should be timeless.

150 years ago, every person hoping to do anything vaguely mathematical should probably have read Elements.

But now, there is so much other material to pick from, I'm not sure it'd be a good use of time - it might now be a little on the abstract side, to recommend it to all modern programmers.

Thats what I was trying to get at; I should have phrased it better.

>But the fact is, within 3.5 or so years, Freckle would have brought in that much revenue anyway. And then it would KEEP bringing in more, forever.

So… straight up your expected value was higher than the offered acquisition price ;).

If they offered you more revenue than you expected to make in 10 years, instead of 3.5, you might rethink the offer. Different strokes for different folks. Maybe in 3.5 years you'll be tired of that product in particular and you'll be looking for a better exit, etc, etc.

Maybe the employee position is really sweet. You never know how your own life changes.

Wow, watching that news clip reminds me about why I never watch the news. So much bias and unneeded anger. There's no explanation as to why the canon ball missed. There's also no mention of the fact that:

a) the had firing experts on hand
b) the fire/police departments were notified ahead of time and probably had someone on site. They also probably had veto power and input on how it was staged.

(* I don't know this for a fact. I'm basing this on every other Mythbusters episode I've ever seen)

My favorite line: "his elderly mother thought the sky was falling." Makes her sound like a simple nutcase. The son then says, "Yeah, she thought it might be a tree falling on the house or a meteorite."

A few months ago my brother and some friends went on an epic multiday hike. The previous year, someone attempted it and was never seen again.

They were all experienced and were very prepared. In the end they found themselves in a situation where they had to have search and rescue pull them out -- going forward or back wasn't an option. They had a locator beacon (part of being prepared) and decided to pull it. The other option was to head back, miss their return date and have S&R come looking for them anyway.

The local news portrayed them as inexperienced idiots who were totally unprepared. They misinterpreted or manipulated quotes. They didn't actually understand anything -- just regurgitated facts with their uneducated and biased tones and extrapolations.

In conclusion, TV news should be ended in all forms. Reporters aren't experts in the subject matter they report. Even though they should be trained to know better, modern news programs make no effort to disguise their bias.
One of the promises of Android was to allow manufacturers to customize the experience (to a certain degree) to the end user. I wonder if it wouldn't hurt instead of creating things like Sense UI to try to provide the best hardware that supports the reference implementation of the stock Android OS.

On my Google+ and Facebook feeds my friends go nuts over the various Nexuses and when I've played with them I wish I could have that experience instead of the customization that's supposed to make my life better from the manufacturers.
If this happened to everyone on their distribution list, I suspect they know now.

In case anyone is looking for how many emails it takes to get me to unsubscribe from your newsletter, 8 emails in 8 minutes should do the trick.
Certainly, it is very influential - but is it a book that all programmers (even western ones) should read?

I'm not sure - it is very long. Its probably worth reading some subset of, but I'd be more certain about 1984 and even The Prince, depending on whether we mean 'read all the way through'.

How would you go about executing this idea?
I read lots of blogs and spend a lot of time here in hacker news. Often I stumble upon some really good learning that is tried and tested. These learning are scattered all over the Internet hidden in one of the blog posts or a forum.

Search engines are not the best way to find these nugget... You often have to weed through a lot of irrelevant data.
Quora or other Q&A sites are also not the best place. I see a lot of opinions and guesses there.

I'm referring to things that you read in some of the blog posts like PG, Guy Kawasaki, Yipit (founder), startupbound, and Entrepreneurial Thought Leader Speakers (Stanford) to name a few

If there was one single place that aggregates these learning wouldn't that come really handy? At a time you most need!

So I bought the domain name http://littlebookoflearning.com [purely not for profit venture]

I'm not sure how to go about executing this concept. Its not a Q&A site.

What would be your strategy to execute an idea like this? Looking forward to kick start with a snippet from your little book of learning :)
Shooting a high energy projectile into a residential area seems exactly reckless to me.

They weren't lucky, they were unlucky. This never happens. This is a military firing range. Do you know how many requirements had to be fulfilled for the range to be built? and the regulations they have to follow for safety? "miscalculated the ballistic trajectories" They didn't miscalculate, the cannonball struck the hill, as planned. They didn't plan for it to basically bounce off in a different direction. The trajectory is not the issue. "Leave it to professional use" They are professionals with many years of experience, and they were surrounded by more professionals. "go to the utmost of efforts" If building a firing range in the middle of the desert and firing toward a hill, away from the direction of any towns, isn't enough then what is?

Proper syntax hi-lighting html markup is used for most of the MSDN content I've used recently. Definitely for the .NET and WinRT content.
Right underneath that, in large bold letters, it says "Page not available." Also, the title of the page is "Nothing found for ..." I don't think that users will have trouble understanding what they are viewing. It may be campy, but I personally have no issue with websites being too creative or too concerned with aesthetics (if such a thing exists).
It's malware because it's installing something that you didn't agree to install.

Whether this is something worth pursuing or not is hard to judge at this point as we do not know what the adoption rate of Windows 8 is going to be. In particular what the adoption rate of the new Metro interface for Windows 8 will be.
As a long time Java programmer I've found that Scala had made programming fun again. As much a I like Java I find coding in Scala more enjoyable. I am constantly surprised by the number of colleagues who have taken an intense interest in this language.
this is very much not a case of, "Eat a mosquito, get a gene".

Eating, no.

But it's my understanding that while uncommon, it does happen that viruses transmit genes from host organisms. Since the virus is hijacking the host cell's reproductive equipment, and all that DNA is just hanging around there, it's easy for some host DNA to get incorporated into the next generation of virus.

(Conversely, I believe that one theory for the origin of "junk" DNA in our genome is that it's viral genetic material accidentally incorporated into the host genome.)
I would love to hear some comments from you. I think this really speeds up custom Wordpress theme creation.
While Smalltalk doesn't have case statements, a) it's trivial to add them, and b) the way you get around it is totally different: rather than use a Dictionary, you instead generally make a pile of tiny classes, each with a fooBar: method, and then simply make sure you've got the right object type and call fooBar: on it indiscriminately--in other words, basically your classic visitor pattern.

That's totally possible in Python, too, but I don't really ever see it done.
pytyp will also do this, if anyone is interested - http://acooke.org/pytyp/pytyp.spec.dispatch.html

(in addition, it can be used to add type checking, and type-guided translation between json and python objects. it will also dispatch on "compound" types, like a list of integers).
No -- you can't. You can lock people out of your project, but FLOSS doesn't mean everyone gets to play inside your project.

The license guarantees anybody who doesn't like the way Google is doing things can take the code and start their own project around it. The forks may not be easy to keep in sync -- this shouldn't matter if you don't agree with the way Google is doing things because you'll probably stop using their work after you fork anyway.

What you want is to have Google's engineers run their project the way you want, which is NOT what open source is about at all.

Aside: You're wrong about proprietary code -- awesome people like jbq and folks from the AOSP have consistently worked with hardware vendors to open up their binary blobs. They are actively fighting for this, not using it to keep people locked into the official Android project.

Why shouldn't hobbyists pay for tools? As you said, the Express versions are free. But if you want to play with the same toys as professionals, why shouldn't you pay for them? Last I checked, Photoshop wasn't free to me just because I'm not a professional artist. Neither is anything else, really. There's not a lot of software licensed under a CC-noncommercial-style license.

The challenge with expressive features like multimethods - does your language give you the tools not only to implement it, but to make it fast? This is yet another benefit of macros - the ability to add features like this and get good, perhaps even great, performance.
How two people exchange emails reflects who is more dominant
I was defining profit = earnings - expenses, but there is no point in getting into a semantic argument about the definition of profit. (Note that there actually is no standard definition of profit for an individual.)

Lets treat profit as income. Your income is not increased, but your potential consumption is increased every time you decide not to buy health care for someone who might benefit from it. Is this immoral? I'm guessing not.

If an insurance company denies someone care (increasing revenue) and spends the money on perks for the CEO (increasing expenses commensurately, for a net profit of $0), would that be moral?

People do things that are against their long term interests.

So your belief is that you know what is best for everyone else, and their choices should be subsumed to your opinions? Um, ok.

End user technologies are less important than API's, which are less important than actual data and the formats used to store it on disk.

If you pick something like Markdown (for basic structured text), JSON (for data structures), or XML (for more complex document-based data), and structure your data first you're going to be better off than jumping into a front end design and working out the back end along the way.

Well, why should I shell out $479 for VS when I can get Xcode for $4? If a paid membership came with a VS install, that'd be one thing, but I've seen no indications of that yet.

Now, I personally see no problem with charging for tools, but if Microsoft wants to drive adoption at the same (or higher) rate as iOS/OSX/Android, they are going to have to make the tools free or very cheap. And BizSpark just isn't enough.

Developers are going to ignore the platform, end of story. This shouldn't be surprising. No offense, but this just strikes me as another instance of Microsoft "not getting it".
