I seriously wonder what made the NYT start this drip-drip campaign against Apple. How many factories produce tens of millions of units without any industrial accidents?

The New York Times is weird. Hundreds of thousands of people are dead in Iraq and elsewhere, due in large part to conditions the Times' Judith Miller and other media sources helped bring about. There is no reporting on that. All computer companies can be called to account for complicity (and yeah, unto their suppliers' supplier!), but never a newspaper for starting a war.
The transliteration of Å is usually "AA". In fact the "circle" above the A is really a lower case "a". It's just that as time passed, it "devolved" into a circle.

You won't miss much if you skip the article entirely. That said, the material it links to seems pretty good. I've been trying to learn Python lately and working through the interpreter at first seems to be a good way to get a sense of how Python does things. And there are some neat libraries out there. For example, you're not much more than a "from pygr import worldbase" away from wandering through the human (or mouse, or yeast...) genome if you want to. That said, I still need to set up a proper vim config for Python.
Just to add, while HTTP 418 is an April Fools joke, I had a semi-legitimate usage case for this at one point with http://drostie.org/ .

The idea was that I might have domains configured on my DNS which resolved to the same machine. And if you connect to that machine on port 80, no matter what domain, you will get the HTTP server.

The problem is, the DNS might recognize domains which the HTTP server is not listening for, e.g. "mail.drostie.org" or some such. When you visit those in a web browser, the server can't do what it's supposed to do -- pretend it's not listening on port 80 -- because it already received the HELO and the GET.

It's also clearly a client error, so the error code should be in the 4xx range. But just go down the list: it's not a syntax error (400), it wasn't unauthorized (401), payment isn't required (402), and the server technically didn't even understand the request, so it's not 'I understand but I refuse to fulfill' (which is 403). It's not that some file was not found (404) or that GET is not allowed (405) or that we couldn't fit the Accept HTTP header (406).

The real problem is that you asked mail.drostie.org to do something other than handle mail. None of the 4xx status codes really fits, and the one that comes closest is... 418. You asked me to brew coffee, but I'm a teapot.
'France really does not hold up to the values of humanism, rights, and freedom we're so proud of.'
Digitally speaking, you're right. But better days will come, as french politicals and execs tend to be more of followers than of trend setters. Very few older people (above GenY) understand the concepts and issues of the open web and the importance to provide it to each citizen on the same level.
Meanwhile, France is still making of fool of itself.
Wait until the NY Times finds out how many loggers die
each year to cut down the trees to make its paper.

This is brilliant. How many millions of papers has the NYT moved in its history? How many barrels of ink and logs did that use? And what's the death/injury rate in ink and paper factories per million units?

Multiply this through, and it is quite likely that 1000+ people have died in the process of feeding the Times.

Netflix is magic. It has the only recommendation engine that actually works. I'm a streaming subscriber, and the only problem is their somewhat limited catalog: many movies I look for are only available on DVD. There are very few recent releases.

But their catalog will inevitably expand.

It's incredible how one comes to love something that works so consistently and dependably.

If you have the time to review your accounts performance on a daily basis, do not do automatic bidding.

Competition is very high for website hosting, so what you'll need to do is create a long tail of keywords with the keyword tool.

AdWords can be very bloody, but it is very important at the beginning to get good data on your ads and keywords. Make sure your conversion codes are working too.
You'll have a big spend in the beginning because you dont have a good Quality Score. Its a game of patience, and don't go broke! But keep in mind for the first few weeks your cost per acquisition will probably be twice as high as it will be after that.

I bought Netflix @ $75 last year. It was the first time I ever bought stock, but I had to do it out of sheer confidence.

> "You are never as smart or dumb as they say," Hastings said in a Wednesday interview.

This is exactly why I bought. Everybody and their mother was jumping all over themselves to talk about how stupid Netflix was. I figured the stock was pummeled about as low as it could go because at the end of the day Netflix has amazing infrastructure and product assets (I say this as a direct competitor). It's certainly the case that they are being squeezed mercilessly between price expectations of customers and profit expectations of the content cartels, but at the same time, Internet streaming is an irresistible force and no one is positioned better to capitalize on it than Netflix.
I wouldn't say it's related in any way to the alphabet in use. Take the English 'a' as an example: skate and car produce two different sounds out of the same letter.

Alphabets transmit words, much less so sounds.

I agree with the abov post, but would like to add a solution to criticism:

Go back to a genre-defining game like the original Raiden or Ikaruga and actually sit down and play through and take notes on every enemy, attack and boss pattern and write what you like and dislike and of course the why.

I'm not saying copy them outright, just give yourself as a designer a better idea of the thought that went into these games originally.

On a side note, it's amazing what people are using HTML5 for these days!

> It has the only recommendation engine that actually works.

I wish it let you split out recommendations based on users, with the option of "recommended for the whole account." I like Sci-Fi, and I've watched a fair amount of it on my Netflix account, including 10/11 Star Trek movies, but the last time I went into the Sci-Fi section, it was recommending me random kids shows and things I'd clearly not like.

This is because my girlfriend uses it a lot and has watched a lot of older, especially teen (nostalgia), shows. To quote from A Christmas Story, Netflix "labor[s] under the delusion that I [am] not only perpetually 4 years old, but also a girl."

Not knocking their engine, just a random anecdote.

Didn't Netflix run a competition once for people to come up with a better recommendation engine a while ago? Maybe that's why it's so good. Crowdsourcing.
Fun fact: Netflix now has almost the same number of subscribers as Comcast (21.67 million versus 22.4 million for Comcast).

I find that amazing, because it means Netflix has the same distribution power as a major cable TV provider.

Do you compress per row/column or over a given set?
I think this stands as a perfect example that I can use to educate friends and family on why having access to the source code for the programs that you use is important.

When someone is proud of their work, they like to show it off, and this is true of programmers as well. If I make a neat program, and I'm really proud of the job I did writing it, I want to show that off by showing people the source code -- thus increasing my epenis/karma/reputation points etc. Conversely, if I presided over a software product that I knew had bugs and I needed to release said product regardless, I would have to keep the source code tucked away so that nobody could tell how bad said product is.
I think in the Netherlands, we've had this discussion a while ago already. Outcome: cities like Amsterdam have intentionally few parking spaces in the center, and they cost ludicrous amounts of money per hour.

People living in the center either complain their asses off, or ditch the car.

I'm not sure that this really helped people much. Ditching the car means you can't go visit your grandma in that village without a train station on the other side of the country easily. Keeping the car means everything sucks (super-expensive, no place to put it, takes ages to get from your house to the highway). Real solution: keep the car and move away from the city center, the exact opposite from what the OP is suggesting.

Long story short, I doubt there is a simple solution. Back in those wonderful old days, everybody lived 2 miles from their grandmas anyway.

(there probably are plenty non-simple solutions though)

The biggest problem with mass-transit is that most often riders do not want to pay what it actually costs, so they vote for some form of tax-supported subsidy. And that almost inevitably hobbles it, because acquiring new passengers will affect total revenue only a little, whereas conforming to the whims of the public and the local government will affect its revenue a lot.

Aside from that, these sorts of analyses ignore the many benefits that cars provide and the many downsides of public transit. You aren't going to get people to switch just by pointing out how much more efficient something is, you have to make it actually better.

When I have to commute I prefer to do so by bus, but there are still a ton of use cases for local travel where I would only consider mass transit as an absolute last resort due to the intrinsic advantages/disadvantages.
Hi Fred. I would love to hear about examples of small companies that got it right. Have any stood out? What hiring techniques would make you happy?
I agree strongly with this; we've observed the same problem. Within our family, we have many common tastes and many differing tastes, and it would help to have recommendations that took those into account.

The same thing goes for the "recently watched" list on Watch Instantly, which mixes together shows watched by any user on any device.
Doesn't Comcast have a legal monopoly in many areas? While that may be further damning to Comcast from one angle, it does make them much more of a stable bet than Netflix.
Insider trading was not a crime until 1995?

Capital allocation in Germany revolves around raising money for the Mittelstand, which are medium-sized business where the executives usually own more than half the business, equity investors are connected to the company, and it is only the debt investors who have distance from the company.

There are bigger companies in Germany, but liquid equity is still not as important to the Germany economy as it is in the US, so it should not be surprising that the needs of non-insider equity holders has not been as important in Germany.

It makes me wonder what the start-up scene here in Germany is really hoping for: I don't see Germany having a straightforward "young IPO" market any time soon.

It's such a shame that more and more languages are recommending to go this route.

The point of distribution packages once was that they would allow for easy updates of your environment without you having to go through the hassle of self-compiling whenever an update (security!) is required and to auto-install dependencies as needed.

But as time went on, the distribution packages became more useless for users and now the recommended practice is to practically leave the distributions packages alone and recompile everything you need (losing the advantages of free security updates).

Ruby, Python and now Perl.

It's not just the programming languages. It's also about users wanting latest versions of their day-to-day software. New Firefox comes out? Wait 6 months and update the whole OS to get it.

Maybe it's time for distributions to slim down considerably to the point where they really only contain everything that's needed for the system to run on its own.

All end-user software (with all their dependencies - disk space is cheap nowadays) would then be installed directly from the vendors - as it's done on every other OS on the planet.
I think in this situation, rental cars would help.

If 6 days out of 7 you can do without a car, then spending $50 or whatever it costs to hire a car for the seventh day would make sense. It would take a long time for that to add up to $20,000 - $30,000 people spend to own a car. Not to mention services and other car sundries.
Couldn't you just rent a car? I haven't been to the Netherlands so may be I am missing something obvious here.

In the U.S. now you can rent not just by the day, but also get hourly rentals like Zipcar or peer rentals like GetAround. It is still early days for both those options, but those and similar new developments may make this a much easier problem to solve across the world.

Distribution power, maybe, but they're probably still significantly disadvantaged financially, since $8/mo is considerably less than anybody (who has cable) pays for cable.

I was looking into this just last night, actually. I'm not with Comcast, I'm not even American actually, but I wanted to add a couple channels to our account and I went looking at pricing. For the basic crappy channels - the first 20 or so, I think - I was $25. Our roommate, by which I mean by would-be brother-in-law, controls the account so I don't know how much it all comes to, but looking at the different packages, I'd say it's got to be at least $80-100, not factoring in any discounts for bundling with internet and all that.
There are a lot of myths, and myth building. The world already had RPC (control software, in which TBL participated), even hypertext with links. What he got, was a (very expensive) toy capable of graphics, while everybody else had falcos to gaze text (still a mystery how that found its way through CERN management). NextStep had an unused memory slot while handling font properties, so that's where the link got hacked in, almost à la hypercard, dead-simple "programming". It was arguably not very multiplatform.

The web as we know it today owes its success to being an open, multiplatform graphical standard. There were all sorts of similar standards, even graphical, but maybe less open and therefore less multiplatform. Students created with sweat the multiplatform stuff that was then openly given away and improved upon around the "rest" of the world. It was the work of many, built on the ideas of many. It was very much of an organic development, not somebody waking up in the morning changing the world.

But then it wouldn't make such a nice success story, which is essential to branding, for PR.

btw: I am almost convinced, that Robert C. was aware of the beautiful, but forgotten story about a Belgian from '30s, who was swept away in WWII. He really had the ideas nailed about what the internet is today, for which others (in the U.S.A.) took the credit for after WWII (ARPA, V.Bush, memex, IEEE etc.). Actually, the Universal Decimal Classification found in almost every library, or documentation system.

This looks like the standard set complaints made by most scripting language upstreams at most distributions, with the added complication that because so many distributions have essential core functionality that needs Perl, they want a minimal subset that supports that core functionality without including the entire distribution. Debian ships a "perl-base" which includes just enough Perl to run dpkg and other core utilities. (One of these days that might change, with more and more of those utilities rewritten in C, but it won't change anytime soon.)

While this post starts out with the classic "compile/install your own Perl" line that most other scripting language upstreams spout, it later reverts to the sensible position that distributions just need to provide some package which pulls in the full Perl distribution. That seems much more reasonable, and in fact most distributions do this. Debian provides the "perl" package for a full Perl distribution, and the "perl-base" package for the small subset that the core system needs.
