Why do people keep coming back to games like farmville and games are now rampart with side achievements with little point like collect 300 x in zone y? I think some people on some level would feel the need to use all means available to maximise scores purely as something that needs to be checked off like achievements in games.
> When Motorola first made its maneuver into Android-land, I remember every bus shelter, subway platform, billboard, everything plastered in Droid ads, with clever (if slightly unimaginative) slogans.

And that shows how powerful marketing can be. The Droid wasn't Motorola's first foray in to Android-land. That milestone belongs to the Motorola Cliq (in US on T-Mobile) / Dext (outside US).

The Droid was Verizon's first foray into Android-land and they marketed the hell out of their new smartphone brand (licensed from Lucasfilm), so that's what you remember.

"if you’re required to get eight hours of work done each day, plan to be there for 9.5-10 hours."

No. If this is actually effective nobody will expect you to be there longer than 8 hours. Either way, there are more important things in the world than being productive.
Javascript.

Benefits:

- Sharing code between client and server is a huge win

- Less impedance mismatch glue code in general

- V8 is really fast

- Node.js makes me write everything streaming style which may reduce page latency

Drawbacks:

- Javascript (I like coffeescript but I still write more bugs in CS than in plain JS...)

I was lucky to be in Sao Paulo for a few weeks, setting up some trading systems. I think people generally underestimate Brazil's potential. Locals apparently joke that Brazil is the country of the future, and always will be. Lucky for them, the future has arrived. The enthusiasm of the locals (at least the elite) is infectious.

I heard a funny (and somewhat racist) comment there from someone who was explaining why Brazil is far more interesting than China or India: 'Brazil is basically a Western country. Would you rather go to China and eat frogs or go to India and eat spices so hot that they make you sweat?
I can find two laws:

- The racist Jewish National Fund, which manages a big chunk of Israeli land exclusively for Jews, was authorized by the Knesset to refuse to lease land to Arab citizens.

- Arab citizens are not allowed to obtain citizenship for foreign spouses while Jews can.
Why are EC2 and S3 in São Paulo 36% more expensive than US-East?

http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/

EBS volumes are 90% more expensive, and data transfer is 200% higher.

Much higher than US, EU, Asia Pacific. Are costs in South America that much more than the rest of the world?
That there exist errors that cannot be type-checked makes type-checking irrelevant ? I dont quite see why exhaustiveness is a pre-requisite for relevance or attention. Is that a thumb rule you use for other things as well ?

I am not sure if type-checking even aspires to be exhaustive. As long as it can detect my stupid and costly mistakes at a cost that is cheaper than the cost of the mistakes, I am happy. But I can understand that for people who do not make costly and compile time checkable mistakes, it might not be worth it.

@tedunangst Got you. Your second paragraph in the previous comment threw me off. It does read like you consider type-checking unworthy of attention because it cannot catch all possible errors. Agree with your comment about people overstating their case. I think the noisiest of both the camps (if one can call it that) are equally guilty.

i'd like to see someone solve the problem of buying used cars

What do you feel is the problem?

There are lots of problems, but I think they can be largely segmented by demographic.

Edit: The problems also extend to dealers and there are many demographics that have problems there. Many women, in fact. Dealers are unfriendly places, I spent a very short tour of duty within the industry and have lots of experience as an enthusiast and consumer.
I agree. All things being equal, picking one idea will get you somewhere. If all 4 things will make you happy working on them, and now you're just trying to figure out which is the "best" then just pick something so long as they meet your criteria for potentially successful businesses.

And nothing says you can't validate more than one idea, but that is going to cut into your resources.

Presumably power and/or network connectivity are more expensive, and they have to pass on the prices. Also, given the high cost of disks these days, it's not surprising EBS prices would be high in a newly opened region...

* Choose the project that you find the most fun and interesting. If you do something that you enjoy and are passionate about, it becomes hard to pull away from it; hence, you'll get further on it. Set up small goals and milestones while for you to accomplish during the project. I try to break things down in a hierarchy, where I am looking at goal in a monthly, weekly, and daily perspective. These are not hard deadlines, but they give me metrics of success, and its ok to adjust these as the project matures.

* You will have to deal with the ADD, or you will not get anywhere, speaking from personal experience. In my case, I hit walls and managed to work around them. But sometimes new and easier things came along, and then I would pursue those interests. Unfortunately, when I did this, the work I did got tossed, and I started back at square one on the new stuff. Don't be me.

* In general, I begin an idea that may not be great or novel, but I try to build on it, iteratively, add new concepts or features to it. This process heavily depends on the project though. Generally, as I work along these lines, I am bumping into random problems that need to be solved or need a better solution. (this advice point may not be strong).

* Don't be afraid to fail. Failing is half the battle.

Hope these four points help.
Letter from a poor black kid: Baratunde Thurston responds to Forbes' Gene Marks
There was a definitely a project called "Team Themis", yes. But some of the documents describing it make no mention of any offensive (active disinformation/cyber-attack) tactics, nor even of Wikileaks specifically – merely the usual kind of passive intelligence-gathering, from legitimate sources, that Palantir does. Then at some point the additional sizzle of proposed offensive tactics against Wikileaks got added. (In the most infamous presentation, the word 'Themis' is not mentioned.)

So to say "[t]he Wikileaks-offensive project was known as Team Themis" is begging the question.

My concern is whether Palantir as a corporation ever meant to endorse or participate in the specific 'dirty tricks' sizzle. I find Palantir's explanation plausible enough to deserve reporting, anywhere that the allegations against them are also reported: telling the full story requires it.

Everyone is welcome to their suspicions, but I've yet to see any evidence that definitively falsifies Palantir's explanation.
If you look and listen carefully, you can hear that the constant circular velocity is favored over sub-metric regularity. The notes in the middle of the measure are more rapid than the notes on the outside. It's a little ugly.

I dont think it is meaningless. The circle is used to represent repetition and the lines juxtaposed over the circle is used to represent a pattern of pitch. Together they represent a repeating pattern that changes. It isn't the deepest it could be, but it isn't horrible.
Real estate there is insanely expensive. Bandwidth is also likely pricier too. So datacenters will cost more.

To be precise, I said the name was the first thing holding Windows Phone back, not the only thing. I completely agree marketing is a problem for Windows Phone, I just think the marketing is influenced by the name and that you will have a harder time marketing something called "Windows Phone" than you would have marketing the same thing with a different name.

That's a really polite way of saying "They will squeeze the last drop of blood out of you and then some".

Very true! However, they do have a lot of cash and very few ideas of how to exploit all their digital assets.

We already have the software. It's called spotify, soundcloud, grooveshark, iTunes etc. The technology to pay the artists a slice of the revenue is in place. Except currently it's mostly used to pay the labels instead.

I didn't mean software for end users, but software for the music companies to use internally to manage their assets. You'll be surprised (or not) to know quite how disjointed and hacked together their internal systems are. Every music company merger results in years of hacks in getting data from one set of archaic systems into another. Of course, the same software could also be used for managing other media, such as film, tv etc - there are small companies that have done very well supplying custom software to entertainment companies

Actually that settlement fell through. Per Bloomberg, "The county’s efforts to negotiate a definitive settlement were frustrated by the recent sale of sewer debt to investors who didn’t want to restructure the bonds under the terms of the September agreement, according to the bankruptcy filing."

Amazon is increasingly problematic; their eventual evolution into a kind of Ultra-Walmart seems more and more inevitable. Maybe my son will think visiting a store to buy a book made of paper, or perhaps any physical good, is as quaint as churning one's own butter. Main street will be maintained as a theme park via corporate sponsorship. The stores will resemble that Korean grocery store with no products on the shelves, just info, images, and barcodes.
We don't think the county can pay off the bonds, so we'll demand they pay faster? What's the logic behind that cunning plan? Are they hoping to get paid early enough that the bankruptcy court won't claw back those payments?
tldr: You might as well try to "fix" VMS.

I find it a little difficult to think seriously about "fixing democracy" when on the same day I see something like this:

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/14/opinion/free-the-fda.html

"The precedent risks placing the real power for drug approval not just with a cabinet secretary, but with the White House itself. The only solution, then, is to make the F.D.A. truly independent."

In other words, it's an essential aspect of American democracy that your elected officials have no actual power at all. Presumably Prof. Lessig reads the NYT?

Because frankly, if elected politicians have no actual authority, and this is a feature rather than a bug - I'm struggling to figure out why we should care so much whether or not they're on all on the take.

I'm not disputing that they're all on the take. The worst part is that if you make a political office symbolic in reality, its professional occupants rapidly grow entirely incapable of exercising actual power and become, basically, actors - worthless celebrities. You're selecting for Rick Perry and you'll get Rick Perry.
Reddit CoFounder Alexis Ohanian Speaks Out Against SOPA
Hopefully that means they'll be opening a data center in Australia before too long.

EDIT: To expand on where I'm coming from, I'm the technical lead at a web agency in Melbourne so I make recommendations on what hosting providers we use, both for our staging servers and live servers for our customers' sites.

We already have a few staging and live servers with AWS in California, but for most live servers we have to use Australian hosting providers for lower latency and (sometimes) for legal reasons regarding storage of customer data. I guarantee that if AWS were to open a facility in Australia, all of our hosting would move to that facility ASAP.

In that discussion they were not trolling you, at least not intentionally. Instead you were seeing what happens when you combine a strong dose of cognitive dissonance with the ability to downvote.

This is a common effect in HN and other so called "enlightened" communities because they do have higher concentrations of honestly intelligent people, people particularly susceptible to cognitive dissonance.

When you say something truthful that a "normal" person thinks is wrong, 9 times out of 10 they will ignore you, because they "know" you are wrong. Not so with intelligent populations.

Fair enough. I'm not exactly an old hat myself. My account's less than a year old so maybe I'm totally off on this and it's me who should keep my mouth shut and learn a bit more. That said, I still think there's enough people who are karma police in that they hoard points and use the up/down vote system in not-so-honorable ways to merit some discussion about that. I also think there's enough group-think going on to merit mentioning too. I'll admit my example wasn't really solid but, hey, now that I said it maybe you'll be able to spot it next time and be able to come back and say I was right. Or wrong. But I'm decently confident it's prevalent enough to spot easily and quickly.
Woo! Thanks!
The scriptability of Blender has been a big draw for me. It's pretty deeply integrated with Python. One can even use it as an interactive 3D front-end for a substantial Python script. That is, let the script create and manipulate the objects, and just use Blender to view what is happening. In Blender 2.4 it was possible to keep a script continuously animating the scene, something I found tough to make happen after the 2.5 overhaul.

Blender 2.4 also let scripts create UI components, such as entire control panels to influence the running script. The last time I checked in 2.5, this was either not possible or not well documented. But I'm not up to date on this.

I'm also not familiar for comparison with the scriptability of Maya or other tools.

If the original post does not mean to convey "I don't need this because I have ghc", well, it kinda sounds like it does. I didn't say type checking was irrelevant. I said its merits are irrelevant in a discussion about how to find bugs that have already been checked in. Unless the devs are really sloppy, such code has already been compiled and run through whatever more or less exhaustive checking that entails.

Type checking is useful. I like it. But I don't like people talking about it like it's magic pixie dust.

Right, I think my biggest fear in putting alot of resources into a failed project. But I guess it's better to start on something than to do nothing. I'll try the one that takes the least resources.

The ADD on the other hand I believe it's just something I'm going to have to deal with.
I hope so too. Bandwidth and hosting prices are outrageous. VPS rates are terrible too, though some vendors seem to have gotten the message in the last year or so.
I don't think it is asking too much to not elect people who will be bribed into screwing you over. At the community level candidate integrity should still be measurable. But the likely problem, given voter apathy, is not that they elected the losers, but that they sat by and allowed them to be elected.
