This is such a puff piece that one has to wonder if it's not simply a PR plant.

I've been saying for the last year or more that Twitter is doomed. I stand by that prediction. Twitter was originally envisioned as a place for real-time status updates. It became a place where, to a certain extent, news broke but now? It seems to be a graveyard where people follow celebrities.

Not that there isn't necessarily a business model in following celebrities but it seems like the difference between being Facebook and being Myspace.

Twitter is (IMHO) terrible at conversations. As others have mentioned, they're disjointed.

This post raves about Twtitter's real time abilities and potential but:

1. There is only real-time data to process while people use it and, honestly, I don't see the incentive to produce it. Twtitter just seems to be another box your brand management company checks on their social media checklist; and

2. There's still no hint of a business model anywhere.

Honestly, the idea that Twitter will be "bigger than Google", even for a narrow area like "real time", is laughable.

I see Twitter as another "bubble" company (like Quora). People in the Valley think it's big because "everyone" (in the Valley) uses it but this gives a very distorted view. Twitter is more mainstream than Quora but I wouldn't be surprised if Twitter's 7-day actives were much lower than the ~175 million accounts and stagnant, even waning.
It's definitely not running on Heroku.
A collection of stories and anecdotes about clueless computer users
Do I play hardball and tell them I was already hired? Do I ask if they can beat the pay and benefits of my current position? Do I say I am still interested but have been employed elsewhere?

If pentesting is what you'd rather be doing, be up front with them about the situation. If you'd be willing to leave for a similar/better/wildly better offer, say so.

Do I tell my current boss that I might be considering a better position at another company?

No. Do not tell your current boss that you might be considering a better position at another company. If the company that you're not working for right now makes you an offer that you'd like to take, make 100% certain that you have a position there, and then notify your current employer that you're leaving. Under no circumstances should you indicate to them that you're thinking about leaving.

I wanna display interest without making it obvious that I am gonna push for the best offer from both parties.

Do not push for the best offer from both parties. The only communication you should have with your current employer about this situation is to notify them that you're leaving once you have employment elsewhere secured.

My advice might be different if you'd been working at your current place of employment for longer, and had reason to believe that they'd be willing to negotiate to keep you around. For an entry-level position (I'm assuming, based on the given context) that you've only been at for a few months, I wouldn't think that would be the case.

In my personal experience, according to pingdom my Heroku app is significantly less reliable than my plain EC2 apps: https://twitter.com/#!/jamiemill/status/154566469479444480/p...

For ref, the heroku app is rails, 2x dynos and a shared DB with minimal traffic. The others are PHP/apache apps, one using RDS, on plain EC2.

Heroku is at least 5 layers extra to go wrong on top of EC2. On the one hand I feel that each layer adds to the probability of failure. But I'd hope that one of the benefits of Heroku would be extra redundancy and failure handling, though my limited personal experience hasn't been that way so far.

EDIT: Regarding openness, I certainly feel that every single outage is admitted by Heroku, whereas I feel Amazon's status page has not listed a few outages I've suffered. Again personal feeling, not evidence.
By adding to the requests to the status page. As commented below, we've slowed it right down!

I don't have a site on Heroku, but I clicked through anyway - it's on the top of Hacker News, so must be worth looking at.

The thing I like the most about it is the part where they demonstrate selectively including certain elements into Sinatra. I like Sinatra exactly because it doesn't come with the kitchen-sink - like you I prefer to just add gems and plugins as I need them (and I rarely find I do), but if I do I might look at Padrino.

(As for the admin interface, their site claims it has DataMapper support)
Smartphone Technology for Health Tracking
The paradigm of needing to have various health indicators measured at the surgery, by a physician, is set to change. How quickly that will happen is yet to be determined, however smartphone and app designers are already creating medical devices and programs that can record diagnostic data and upload it to existing health records.

I'd go with a business rational over the theory of distributive just over lifespans. It's an adverse-selection problem. Wisdom-tooth extraction is usually not an emergency (Nick's case excepted!)-- they have to come out sooner or later, but often you've got some time. And it's a big cost compared to most dental work. If the insurer covered all or most of it, you'd have people signing up for dental coverage, getting their teeth pulled, and dropping out.
Hehe, but in all fairness, what matters in any infrastructure failure is information spread, not information uptime. :)
But sometimes things are simple and just time consuming, so you'd rather have someone else do them...
This reminds me of Flask for Python (nb. although more is built in to Padrino, most of the functionality for Flask is provided by plugins). I've recently started using Flask for new projects in favor of Django. I feel that most of the libraries I use are framework agnostic, stuff like ORM (SqlAlchemy), PDF generation, redis/mongodb adapters etc, so being able to pick what fits and leave the cruft out is great.

But besides that, I feel that in recent times development is moving much more to the client - and client code like Javascript/CoffeeScript, Java for Android and Objective C, is getting much bigger at the expense of server side code. This is recently evidenced by the new 37signals Basecamp Next app which is 50/50 CoffeeScript/Ruby.

So the server side programming is on track to becoming "just" a API endpoint for all these different technologies and I think micro frameworks like Flask and Padrino are very well suited for that.

Twitter is growing up
Looking at negative opinions here, and my own small understanding of the subject, let me propose an alternate approach for Twitter to really become exciting again:

And no it is not exciting as you've premised in the article.

Here is an over-the-edge idea though: Merge Twitter with Square. Think. Probably Square will get a big consumer-face for its mobile payments company where every user of Twitter is able to exchange/collect/sell/charge anyone (friends) for petty purchases. And Twitter will get a business model.

Using a nicely integrated web-to-mobile-to-anything system, Twitter can empower people to use their twitter accounts to not only converse, but also share money with each other. Just like we do in college.

That's much more value than serving like a news hose. How does this sound to you?
Feature phones now more profitable than smartphones
A colleague described Twitter as "marketing people yelling at other marketing people". I see his point, but I find that in my local community, Twitter serves a purpose. There are frequent conversations between local individuals interested in urban renewal in my city, which often include city councillors, officials in various capacities, journalists, and so on. So this is interesting and quite valuable.

But there's no question there's a huge amount of noise. And I question whether anyone who follows more than 300 or 400 people is actually reading much at all in their stream.
Leaving aside the global variable, I think this example's biggest issue is the complete lack of whitespace and the big stack of chained calls (which I'm not personally a fan of, but your house, your rules :)) - this is it with a few reader-sympathetic newlines added: https://gist.github.com/1710254

Personally, I find using comma-first and omitting semicolons except where required for ASI reduces the amount of noise down the right-hand side of the code and the amount of scanning I have to do there (for variable definition, object literals and nested calls in particular).
Benefits of Recycled Original Toner Cartridges
The recycled original toner cartridges generally refer to the cartridges which are produced by using the recycled empty toner cartridges in a thoroughly professional way here at mouse2house. They empty cartridges are dissembled carefully.
Are marginal costs enough to see the impact of offering multiple options? My concern is that by having so many battery & other options, Tesla is probably requiring different manufacturing processes, different equipment, which can dramatically affect costs (esp. fixed costs). To put it more simply, if you offered only 1 option, you manufacture at scale and can easily bring down unit costs. However, if you are offering, say 3 options that means you split your scale by 1/3 and its harder to bring unit costs.

This wouldn't be an issue if the parts being built were commodity items but I assume a lot of the parts for Tesla are quite customized / niche. To put it another way, I remember reading that for some American manufacturers it was actually more costly to produce manual cars since demand is so low in the US and assembling them would require a separate line which would reduce efficiency.

However I really don't know anything about manufacturing cars. Anyone with auto industry experience want to chime in?

Hi im leader of brainhacking project in Brmlab
There are different ways to provide universal health care. Canada, for example, has a single-payer system in which most medical practices are private but they bill the public insurer.

The system isn't perfect, obviously, but it is quite efficient at allocating money to actual health care rather than administrative overhead. Whole categories of business expenses (including, ahem, profits) just go away.

On the other hand, Britain has a fully nationalized system in which doctors are public employees, and their system is even more efficient than the Canadian system. In fact, across OECD countries, the overall efficiency of the health care system seems to be positively correlated with the extent to which the government directly controls it.

In the US, the public parts of the health care system are overall much more efficient at allocating resources to care than the private parts.

Sidenote: I will pause here to draw a distinction between allocative efficiency, or the extent to which a system allocates capital where it will maximize ROI, and what we might call outcome efficiency, or the extent to which a system allocates resources where they will maximize effectiveness.

Market based systems are better at allocative efficiency, but the evidence is that they are much worse at outcome efficiency. Market-based health care is great business, but it leaves far too many people under- and uninsured. This is because the principal economic imperative for a for-profit insurer is to collect premiums but not pay out benefits.
To further your points with my own experience:

When Heroku has issues during working hours, their support is great - you can pretty easily be put in contact with an engineer or a product manager. The catch here is that there doesn't appear to be any guaranteed response time to any tickets (my urgent ticket (everything is on fire) from Sunday was accepted Monday morning).

Amazon on the other hand is quite opaque - SQS/SimpleDB, for example, went down today for a few minutes (as in the service endpoints told us as such), but there wasn't a peep on the AWS status dashboard.
What about the market for car sharing? At Google we have a fleet of electric (and normal cars that are offered to employees for personal & business use and it's never been a problem since they are used for short trips. If they can produce a cheap model, I can see a market for players like Zipcar for dense urban centers where a majority of trips are quite short.
Same here. I really like Sinatra's gem ecosystem, and with unobtrusive Javascript I don't have much framework-dependent code on the views, nor helpers like his link_to confirm example, in the presentation...

I admit that sometimes I miss generators, but Sinatra's boilerplate code is so minimal that I just don't care much anymore.
One can imagine the hypothetical scenario where a large filling station network would offer a battery subscription service of sorts, whereby you can stop at a station, swap in a charged battery, and drive off.
One thing that has me perplexed about Adsense. I have a site that used to get around 400 unique visitors per day and I was making $100/month from adsense. I haven't touched the site in years, now it gets around 1000 visitors per day but I'm still making $100/month from adsense.

Is there some kind of cap built into Adsense, or is it just a coincidence that the amount stayed the same.

BTW with this traffic level, is there a better ad network I could use?

Padrino is really nice web framework for Ruby. I have used it for experimental projects.

My work was using latest Padrino framework at work, but extremely unhappy with the its performance (slow response). We had ported the app to Rails 3.1 for better performance. (We will upgrade it to 3.2 soon)

In fact, I think Padrino is pretty ideal for personal and small apps. Not really ideal for medium to large apps.

Just my opinion and experience.

Twitter is very much mainstream. In the UK especially.
I have refused to buy any Sony products for a good number of years now and have no intention of ever buying any of their products in the future. Their actions have lost me as a customer[1] and they will never get me back.

Sadly, I am currently using a Sony Ericsson phone, though somebody gave it to me - I did not buy it.

[1] I have owned many Sony products in the past, including (but not limited to) the Playstation and Playstation 2 (and many many games for both of these), so I am definitely a lost customer and not someone who claims to be one but who never bought their products to begin with.

Hi

Thanks for your feedback.

I completely agree that twitter got worse - especially at social conversations. This was the reason why i saw them - like you - as the forever second (if not last).
But the move to categorize, contextualise and present real time content and provide it for third partners is a big businessmodel. E.g. thousands of press agencies pay their bills like that - and twitter has already a pull by media houses to go that way. If developers were ok to pay for firehouse i am pretty sure mediahouses will pay for firehouse news.

And as said - i agree it sucks at several levels. But this wy to look at it gave me a new light to it.

Facebook is better suited for that actually.
Seriously? They've been doing this for ages as it's required by US law (read the DMCA notice they post at the bottom of the page). This isn't new or news.
I haven't read about css in ages, and I need to throw some together. I couldn't remember the syntax of the type, id and class selectors, specifically putting them together. You reference combining selectors, and then immediately give an example of "ul#social li a {". Does this mean list items and links within the ul with the id social? Or what?

tl;dr; The lesson is pretty poor. Sorry.
I agree, also the price is to high. $49.9k for a range of 160 miles? 5h+ for full charge? With the super charger it still takes 30 min for 160 miles charge, but then you have to buy the $59.9k option.

Of course the cars could hardly be any cheaper since they are built with new technology etc., but this still is just a prototype of sorts, electric cars won't become really commercial until either the recharge and price problems are solved or when the price of gas is so high that no one can afford it.

The question is though, even if this was a mistake and Google admits it was their 'robot' or something like that, is the bridge totally burned by now.

Yes Jeff was making a fair amount of money and why not? For all the work he put in through the years, why not get a monetary compensation that will allow him to at least cover the hosting expenses. If Google turns back and says yes we made a mistake, we are reinstating your account, will Jeff go back to them or will he say eff this.

It is very difficult for someone to forget when they have been treated unfairly.

Ask HN: Why don't enterprise software vendors show prices or screenshots?
I can (kind of) understand a tactical advantage in not putting pricing information on the site in order to try and squeeze as much as possible out of each possible customer. But why don't any of them show screenshots/videos/trials of the actual software?

Is it just as simple as "we don't have to because the person buying it doesn't care"? Or is there some tactical reason not to do so that I'm missing?

Or to put it this way, if I were to be trying to enter and disrupt some enterprise software market, am I losing anything by trying to show more of what the actual product does and how it works?
