In hindsight I can see how one could read it that way. It was poorly phrased. Sometimes it's hard to see your own text as others will see it :-)

It was certainly not my aim to slight the talent of people originating from anywhere else; I merely wanted to point out that over time the US actively sucks up external talent, and that since there is very little counterbalancing flow out of the US you end up with an unbalanced talent distribution. The quip about the single-instance MySQL was not at all to suggest that this is the only thing (or the typical thing) people outside the US do; it was that this kind of expertise is much less actively recruited into the US and so the distribution of talent is much more uniform across the world.
It's pretty common not to identify the company, companies don't want to reveal their funding or their growth until they're ready to use it for PR.

Before we get lots of comments on powering things with food:

It is not powered by the potato!!!

It is powered by the metal leads stuck into the potato!

The metal oxidizes (burns) and releases energy. It would work just as well with salt water. The potato is simply an ion bridge (i.e. it connects the two metals together via a conductive path, and encourages/enables them to oxidize).

If you had a time machine to 11 years ago you could tell him to just soak a napkin in salt water and put the leads in that and avoid rotten potatoes.
The relevant video from MIT Media Lab is here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtsXgODHMWk

> MIT researchers have created a new imaging system that can acquire visual data at a rate of one trillion exposures per second. That's fast enough to produce a slow-motion video of light traveling through objects.

Didn't like it that much. After about half an hour using it went back to Textmate 1. Now I'll give a chance to Sublime Text 2 that I've had around for ages but never got to give it a real chance yet.
See my other comment in this thread, but in short it's not powered by the potato, it's powered by the metal leads. A tree would make no difference.
Kevin v the world: reformed pirate sues tech giants for millions
Cheap to manufacture usually refers to per unit costs. If a machine costs 10 million dollars and has an output of 100 million units per year, your per unit cost is 10 cents (plus materials), or "pretty cheap."

Only state sponsored counterfeiters would be able to replicate this technology in the next 10 years.

In a Work Day, One Apple Employees Makes More Than $2,200 in Revenue
Apple must be pretty proud of its employees, or at least we think it should. According to some new, exciting research from Asymco, it appears that every Apple worker brings in revenue of about $278 per hour. The revenue of Cupertino’s California based Apple was about $320,000 per employee in the first three quarters of the year. Now, compare the numbers, let’s say, with a company like J.C. Penney Co. who brings home only $124,000 per employee per year. Notice the almost triple difference?
But does it scale?!

I have made a couple of games published by PopCap, and from the fanmail I get this stereotype seems to be about right (I wouldn't call it the 'average' gamer, rather the 'typical' one). There's often nothing casual about them - I get email from women complaining that the high score overflows the space allocated to it on the screen after they kept their game going >100 hours.

How they able to repeat the scene each time exactly?
I don't watch the Daily Show beyond the occasional clip, but it seems to me the difference in this case is that many (most?) people are not informed about the issue from another news source, so they have nothing to compare to. Unavoidably some of it will get taken for true...
It makes me unfeasibly happy that they have achieved a self-sustaining business model. I wouldn't necessarily have predicted that I would feel this way, but it makes me trust them more.

Can you share some pointers?

E.g. a page giving an overview of BSD, GPLv2, GPLv3, LGPL, the Creative Commons bunch (no idea if they are usable for source code). Basically I'm wondering if there's a "Intro to licensing your crap on github" post somewhere on the net...
There was this famous spat in 2009 when one of the popular themes was being distributed under a different license: http://wordpress.org/news/2009/07/themes-are-gpl-too/

As long as the themes and plugins are GPL-licensed, it should be fine by the community is my understanding. Selling, by itself, was never an issue.

Wordpress.org itself showcases some of these commercial themes: http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/commercial/

I started my current company as the sole founder in 2007 and it has been good so far. Compared to previous ventures where I was a co-founder, more of my energy is spent on building the business as opposed to too much discussions.

However, this time around, I need to pay special attention to asking for feedback and be exceptionally open to it. Often times, feedback contradicts each other and I'm glad I can make the final decision by arguing just with myself. So much more efficient.

The journey is very lonely though and it takes a lot more work. Fighting alone is not easy.

Eyez 720p video streaming / recording glasses prototype demo
Former Envato employee here. I helped build ThemeForest with my buddy, and lead-dev, ryan-allen (who has already commented) and a bunch of other cool guys.

The $1M story is amazing but I think it is even more important to note how many authors are making a good living on the Envato marketplaces, not just the super-success stories. There are many, many authors who are making a good side-income or even enough to quit their day-jobs. The barrier to entry is super-low and making money is much easier than marketing your own wares on your own site. Have a look at the top sellers pages for the past month, or quarter, and do the sums. The money is excellent.

Their latest marketplace, Photodune is growing rapidly. It has very good payment rates compared to competitors. Worth trying out if you are a good photographer.

Also, if you are a Ruby dev in Melbourne, they are ALWAYS hiring. It is a great place to work.

End of unpaid commercial. I could go on forever.
I believe it's the sate sponsored teams that actually get most of the fake money into circulation (in terms of currency value, not units in circulation):

Its very cool, it looks like it would have tonnes of use's assuming there isn't a lower tech method of emulating a similar effect.

Counterfeit cash only has to be good enough to trick a human. It is for this reason that I don't think it would be too long before counterfeiters found a cheap low tech method of creating a similar looking effect.
Character-by-character undo is actually the reason I first started using Textmate. Most of the time, I don't want the editor to guess what I want to undo, I want it to undo each individual keystroke and action I made.
There's an interesting area of research called Homomorphic encryption (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homomorphic_encryption). In this schema, certain properties of the data are maintained even after encryption. In the general case you would be able to stored encrypted data in the cloud and perform operations on it without needing to decrypt the data.

But there's nothing we (non-US citizens) can do about it. Any noise we make means nothing to US politicians who are accountable only to the American people, and sometimes it looks not even to them.

Carrier IQ Gets Transparent About Its Mobile Monitoring
Azure's pricing seem optimized either for medium to big sites (who need more than 2 front-end servers, hence would benefit from the per-hour pricing) or for agencies that will host multiple sites on the same server. Also, Azure is more "managed" than AWS or Linode. That is, you just write your application code and push it to the servers. There's no sysadmin work to do, nothing to install and configure but your own code.

I think the issue of kids being manipulated by mobile games is a legitimate issue.

That aside, the Daily Show is comedy. It's astonishing that people are surprised that their sketches aren't factually accurate. They have 'live' reports from heaven and hell for fks sake. Enjoy it, try not to form opinions based on it.
To me the novelty appears to be the backend agnostic RDFa communication with the content server rather than the inline editing.

Would be nice if more CMS backends would support this, followed by more and more editing frontends and tools. Thereby everyone could pick the component of their choice. Even different editing frontends for different unsers on the same system would be possible.

For me anyway, there are few text editors that can equal the power than TM provides in this domain. Please prove me wrong.
It's rather "human trust-based networking" than personalization. And it rocks since the dawn of humanity as a solution to problems ranging from censorship (good luck censoring gossip), restrictions on trade (good luck stopping friend-of-a-friend drug deals), shady companies (bad opinions travel fast), hiring and yes, the good old spam too.

I believe we have not yet realized the full potential of human networking + computer networking.
Work in Singapore on Employment Pass

People keep using the "it's a fake news show" as a defense but I don't buy into that. I've always thought of the Daily Show as satire, holding up real news stories to ridicule has a long and glowing history of influencing the public - once you start twisting stories to fit in with a joke you've lost the high ground.

The fact that gamification's effect on kids is a legitimate issue makes it worse - there's enough real craziness around to make fun of without inventing some.

Why (Indian) students should attend college
My beef is Yelp's lack of data portability. No way to export my reviews.

In a way, this is a problem with the API, as if I could get (say) a WordPress plugin that would automatically post to both Yelp and my blog at the same time, I would write regular reviews. That's what really surprises me - their API has no write access!

Closest thing I've seen to that is Urban Spoon with it's blog integration. That's nice, but just I wish it had the active audience and content that Yelp has (which is perhaps because it goes beyond restaurants). I do like Urban Spoon's thumb's up/down rating option, which makes lightweight participation easier.
Miguel de Icaza is living the life right now. He managed to get Novell to fund his idea and then effectively bought it off of them for a steal. Well done!

Incidentally, I think this is the best way to start a business if you ever find yourself in the right position. Big companies are ditching / spinning off successful products which are just not "successful enough" and you can often pick them up for the cost of supporting existing customers.
