I don't disagree. I probably should have been more precise than "its a feature". My real point was more "protect the real revenue stream". Doing all the hard work to find leads, qualify them, get the lead interested in converting and then handing it off to a registrar for a one time bounty is selling the potential short. There are a ton of ways this "feature" could be launched with a fully-realized revenue stream - just simply tossing it out back-ended by an affiliate program does a lot more for Godaddy than it would do for the OP.

I guess if I had a summary point it would be "don't be so quick to give away your customers..."

Not sure about the other browsers, but this is mostly a solved issue in Firefox: it has grown clever enough to remember the contents of a text box even after going back, closing the tab (reopen it with ctrl+maj+t), or even quitting Firefox.
I thought Google's real innovation was their technique of using the interconnectedness of the web to determine the true value of content. So rather than only looking at the content of a page, they also look at the content from incoming links to that page. What package out there implements the algorithms for this, and is well-documented and trivial enough to use that a 14-year-old can understand them?

As far as I can tell, this article says 1) Shucks, hardware sure is cheap these days! and 2) There sure is a lot of software out there that you can mash together! Those things make it easier to start a company, but they don't provide the essential insights that make that company truly revolutionary.

Disclaimer: I've never used Kickstarter

This being said, I was under the impression that funding a project is still a bit of a risk - I'd expect that some projects (like businesses) simply don't work out how they planned - this seems like that type of problem. Of course they should have mentioned the signal problems (and even reached out to see if they could crowd source a solution) but buying in as an early "funder" would imply that there is a risk that it doesn't work, in my opinion.

Seems like they simply couldn't deliver on the project, glad that it's only happened to him once in 72 times.

What was the the most academically influential video you saw as a young child?
I spent the evening tonight going over great math videos with my wife and daughter. We looked at the most recent videos from Vi Hart, and I was happy to introduce to the both of them the "Powers of Ten" video by Charles & Ray Eames - somehow, I was lucky enough to have been introduced to this video while I was in nursery school. I just recently realized how influential this video has been during my whole life.
Here is the "Powers of Ten" video:

I was backing this project until the day they decided to raise shipping costs. It wasn't the raised shipping costs that made me withdraw my backing, but the fact that they had no respect for the backers.

Just pulling a few quotes from the project starter... That is why I backed out of it.

This seems like a strange bug, but I can not find the pattern. This link is on the page:

http://mostodd.wordpress.com/2011/03/10/pando/

No doubt that plays role. But why?

I was able to recreate your problem with my own Google Reader account. What is truly strange is that this URL is the 16th URL on the page. If you go here:

http://pandodaily.com/

and look at the source, you can see the link to Most Odd is way down the page. This bug would almost make sense if that URL was the first one, but instead Google skipped past 15 other URLs and grabbed the 16th one. (Nor is there an issue of time passing and new material being added to PandoDaily, I did all this checking within a minute.)

I am very surprised that Netvibes gets this right while Google Reader has such an odd bug.

Several years ago I went through a depressive episode that led to most of my life falling apart because I didn't feel invested enough in my own life to do things. It wasn't like I was preoccupied with more entertaining options, it was more like I had set fire to my life and wanted to watch it burn. I spent some time in a hospital, and the most useful thing I took from that experience was a talk with a social worker about getting things done before you were buried under shit to do. "Do it now" became my mantra and that got me back on my feet. The mindset isn't as vivid as it once was, but it's still very much ingrained - I've just gotten worse at listening to that voice in my head.

Since then, I have very limited tolerance for people who don't share that mindset. Unfortunately, that seems to describe most people I know. but even still I don't know many people I'd count on to take care of something important without nagging. I hate to feel like I have to follow up any time I ask someone to take care of something, but more than that I hate the disappointment I feel when someone doesn't and doesn't have a good reason.

I highly recommend Scratch. I teach 8 - 12 year olds using scratch. It teaches computational concepts in a fun (certainly not intimidating way). I am now planning to experiment using Scratch for adults as well as a starting point before introducing any of the common programming languages.

>They lose touch with people who are not like them. Monoculture develops; groupthink flourishes.

This is, I think, Google's biggest weakness. All the people I know at google think that google is a good company that has good intentions; not just that google is a good company to work for, but that google, an advertising company, makes the world a better place.

This leads to things like the google buzz problem. People at google genuinely don't see how the rest of us might assign less than honourable motives to Google's actions.

Every other company I know has a bunch of people (especially technical people) that may disagree with or take a cynical view of the company as a whole, employees that stick around because the work is interesting or the pay is good or what have you.

But that's the thing; everyone I know at google genuinely seems to love google. The two people I know that didn't, well, they quickly left. (Incidentally, both of those people were female. My impression, and I emphasise that I'm an outsider and that my impression may not reflect reality, is that google takes technical women less seriously than other valley tech companies.)

Part of this is that google tends to hire from the top 50%, and the top 50% have more options, and thus they are more likely to switch jobs to find a company they really like.

I believe it's more than that, though; I know plenty of people good enough to be google that have positions they like in companies that they don't like. Go look at any of the local defence contractors, and you will find plenty of people that are up to the google standard, doing interesting work for an end-goal that many of them find repugnant.
"The thing is - you are surrounded by incredibly intelligent & fiercely hard-working people."

Good that they're intelligent. Fiercely hard working -- not so good. I don't want to be surrounded by workaholics, no matter how intelligent they are.
I have a couple of boxes at home right now running NetBSD as dom0 w/xen3 and linux/freebsd/netbsd running as PV guests if I get a chance I will move them to some more modern HW and see what happens with NetBSD and multiple cores... Think one of them is a dual core right now but gotta check...

In any case NetBSD PV Kern on a small AWS might be a great combo for cheap BSD thrills....

On a mostly technical note, you're most likely seeing closed questions, not locked ones.

I think the heart of Google (at least at the get-go) was PageRank. Sure you had to write a web crawler, but that wasn't the magic sauce that made Google's search so good. I don't think most 14 year olds could understand the math behind PageRank, much less derive it from scratch.

I'm in line to receive some great products that wouldn't see the light of day otherwise and I'm excited. You don't get this excited over many things you can buy.

I must say though, reading the content of this Kickstarter they don't deal very well with their failure. With the proper tone they could have gotten another round and kept their investors happy.

I don't know where you get the notion that Python is in any way deprecated. I'd hope to know, as both a customer of Python @ Google and a part maintainer of some core Python libraries there. It _is_ discouraged for large projects, but there's a ton of glue in Python and more shows up all the time.

Also, I know plenty of people that started working on non-legacy projects, and I'm working on a legacy project and find it fantastically fulfilling.

The thing is, thanks to the net and open source, I can "surround" myself professionally with very smart people from the comfort of my home office.

I'm not too troubled by employees reading file names in the logs, but for some reason it bugs me that the apology post included a promotion (a link) for "Basecamp Next." In this context it didn't seem necessary.
The one thing that Kickstarter has taught me is something I don't really want to accept, but it's the sad truth: most project creators don't see Kickstarter as a real commitment to business, it's a way to get money for their "neat project" that they want to complete but without the hassle of raising money properly or selling pre-orders. It's a complete non-commitment and it seems a substantial number (enough for me to notice) take it this way.

Kickstarter really need to fix this side of the site, I won't be backing any projects from this point on unless they absolutely have a pre-created product and I'm happy with what I can see at the time of backing, putting money into "creative" projects or "prototypes" seems to be a guaranteed way to come away with something you didn't expect (if you get anything at all). I would love to see either some retribution for people that never deliver or project curation from Kickstarter.

On a positive note I backed "Romo" (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/peterseid/romo-the-smart...) a couple of months back and had an absolutely wonderful experience, they delivered on all their promises (so far) and the project is everything they promised.

>So when you say the words "real minimalist", who am I supposed to see in my mind's eye?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dieter_Rams#Rams.27_ten_princip...

Hidden complexity isn't minimalism. True minimalism demands fundamental simplicity. Minimalism makes the truth of a product, a process or a place more obvious, rather than obfuscating it behind white melamine. The actuality of less.

Minimalist lifestyle choices are those that positively simplify, that meaningfully reduce the total impact of our lives. Eating soy rather than beef, eating local strawberries in June rather than air-freighted strawberries in December. Insulation over of heating, two wheels over four. Measuring the size of your lifestyle in kilowatt-hours and hectares and litres.

China's economic growth slows to 8.9% in fourth quarter ~ Daily World News
This is in case somebody gains unauthorised access to the data, not in case staff can't be trusted. For example, paying by credit card over the phone you hand over your phone number to whoever is taking your order, but if they were to enter it into a system that system then has to comply with regulations.

Not exactly. The purpose is to limit the number of people who have access to your credit card number so that if one of them uses it fraudulently, it's easy to isolate and verify the source of the fraudulent transactions. Yes, the guy taking the order over the phone will have access to your credit card number. Yes the waiter running your card at the restaurant will have access to your credit card number. If the system is well designed, though, no one else will, and it'll be easy to find the person to blame if fraudulent transactions are made.

I've never worked on PCI compliant systems myself, but I know many developers who have, and they say that the sysadmins take solid measures to ensure that no one, not even the developers, gets any data from a database that handles credit card information. Any data pulled from those servers is first sanitized to ensure that credit card numbers and other personally identifying information is removed. Credit card numbers are replaced with a "sample" number that can be used for validation purposes. Names other information are replaced with sanitized data that has the same "shape" (e.g. number of characters and identical punctuation) as the original.

The purpose of these regulations is to ensure that there's always a clear chain of custody over your credit card numbers. Preventing unauthorized access is only one part of maintaining that chain of custody.
I don't always have the energy to execute on my ideas. I'd rather be traveling. Or daydreaming about another new idea.

Which I guess makes me one of those people who need to be nagged when I'm doing stuff I don't like :)

There are some "really hard problems" that could definitely use the brain power assembled but apparently are never pursued.

Are there effectively (company) political red lines at Google Inc. that preclude pursuit of solution to problems such as distributed, non-centralized, social networking, or, somehow the engineers unconsciously choose to [only] pursue solutions that fit with the corporations business model?
Wow - all these years on HN and I never noticed that! </sarcasm>

Yeah - I also clicked on the arrow. The problem is that nobody except the poster will see that. I wanted a more public statement of support.

Sorry if I offended you.
most project creators don't see Kickstarter as a real commitment to business, it's a way to get money for their "neat project" that they want to complete but without the hassle of raising money properly or selling pre-orders.

But that's true, of course. Kickstarter isn't a marketplace like e.g. Etsy where customers buy items. Kickstarter lets people fund cool projects they like. Often (but not always) the item istelf is offered as a "perk" for backers. But that's not really the point of Kickstarer, it's just about funding a project.
Thanks - we'll check it out.
