Implementing a Successful Routine - Weight Training - Part 2
I think it is safe to say that most of us have pretty busy schedules. The average American works 8 hours per day. If you are sleeping the suggested 7 - 8 hours a night that only leaves 8 additional hours a day to do what we please. In reality, a majority of that time is consumed with driving in the car, running errands, paying bills, and just trying to stay on top of our everyday lives.

In response to 1)...free products and services are not always monetized so easily. Most free things on the web use display ads for revenue (which is rarely a GREAT way to make money) and Facebook loses millions a year.

I think the Onyx plan is interesting but I don't think it will "save" the AppStore. It is a cool little framework for building communities into GAMES. Fine. I take nothing away from that it is a great concept. But there are plenty of apps that are not games [Disclaimer: assumption on my part because I don't own an iPhone].

What keeps the AppStore going is great applications, regardless of price, not frameworks.

He really presented a poor argument. Came off looing like an advertorial.

I think that there's a push to use twitter for PR and it's a bad thing. I'm not saying that's what Mr. Gore is going to do, but Britney Spears set a bad example. Real voices are what make twitter interesting.

Yes, I know they're trying to monetize, but doing it honestly is probably going to work better in the long run.
I would think something is wrong with the system if all my comments were up voted. most other places my pro-capitalism anti-progressive votes get down voted a lot more than they do here.

Multi Table Poker Tournament
You don't get this opportunity often, but sometimes you can make a financial advantage just by registrating for a Multi Table Poker Tournament (MTT)!

“How is this possible?” you think? The answer is within the "overlays" given by guaranteed prizepools offered for some MTTs.

An example: On Sunday the 02/11/2008 the €250.000 Guaranteed Tournament at CelebPoker had a €320 Buy-In. 613 players registered for this tournament. Now the calculation fun begins!

First you have to divide the offered Prizemoney with the number of players who registered. In this example: €250,000 / 613 (players) = €407.

This means that your ticket is worth than €407. As your ticket costs €320, you are automatically gaining the equivilent of an extra €87 to pay for your entry (€407-€320 = €87). Ok, you don't get the cash in the bank, but you do get it as an advantage for the buy-in as you have less players to compete for the prizepool with.

You can easily calculate the number of players that turns a guaranteed tournament +-0 in added value if you divide the sum of guaranteed prizemoney with the Buy-In amount. In our example above it would be like this: 250.000 (€) / 320 (€) = 781.

That shows that when the number of players is equal or higher than 781 there is no added money in the prizepool. Therefore you dont get this extra value (overlay) for your registration. When you keep this kind of calculation in mind you can make use this overlay to your advantage by paying attention to the CelebPoker-MTT-Lobby.

Take these chances when you find these Overlays to pimp your bankroll! Good Luck!!

Here in Canada, the Liberal party recently ran on the platform of a carbon tax ("The Green Shift"). They lost badly. People just heard "tax."

It's not entirely a clear data point, because they also had a leader perceived as weak. But the carbon tax was a big part of why he was perceived as weak.

His rationale seems like it should be easily testable, though.

For example, the coolness and talent argument should apply to most intellect based companies. So, say software companies, should also have the same correllation between success and politics.

The free market argument can be applied to other investment firms.

The government intervention argument is trickier to test. I don't know of another business that has the same setup as banks.

Is there any big company that Congress is unwilling to bailout? Bailing out commercial banks makes sense. Then came investment banks. Then insurance companies. Now it's car makers?

If every company gets political influence and free bailout just for being big then no wonder companies merge and want to become too big too fail - it's like free insurance.
AIDS perhaps, but anyone that could afford to pay for a treatment like this is unlikely to have progressed past HIV, as they could surely afford the best current treatments.
We could easily save jobs by bailing out every company that fails. But then the incentives for innovation and for making things that people want are drastically reduced.

Even in years when the economy gains jobs on net, millions of jobs are destroyed and created. That's how progress happens. This used to be a country where over 90% of the population worked in agriculture, after all.

Also, it should be noted that this is not the first bailout for US automakers. It is unlikely to be the last. We will have our own automakers that are wards of the state, producing cars that nobody wants to buy, just like Soviet Russia and Socialist India before us.

I can't see Apple switching Macs back to PPC any time soon. In the last 10 years they've forced Mac developers and customers to switch to a totally different operating system AND processor architecture. Both were good moves, but it seems silly to switch back.

Apple has said they bought P.A. Semi to create custom chips for their portable devices:

Ask YC:  G1, IPhone or BlackBerry?
So, I'm in the market for a new phone. I live on Gmail and G-Cal, so I need something that works well with those.

I'd really like something that has a terminal client (think PuTTY), so I can log into my server if I need to. Does that exist?

I'm leaning towards the G-1. Any thoughts?
Ah yeah, sorry.

Everything in Silicon Valley is Ego. For all the bozo CEOs who take all the credit for _everything_, there's a gazillion unsung heroes who are smarter, faster, and are completely unsung (but hopefully they get some cash when there's an exit). That's the dynamic.
This generalizes. Most people are 'for' any cause, as long as somebody else handles it.
I wonder if they tried to market it as a 'Fossil Fuel Tax' ... and then sold it to voters as a tax on Big-Bad Oil Companies ... if it'd garner more support.

People seem pretty convinced that oil companies are the root of all evil, so they might actually embrace the word 'tax' in this case.

(Of course, the oil companies and utilities could just point out that it would raise the price of gas, which would kill it. You could propose a law that gave everyone free ice cream for life and people would impose it if it raised their gas prices by a penny.)

That wouldn't work in Canada, because of the oil sands boom. Basically vast amounts of oil that weren't viable below $40 a barrel suddenly created billionaires overnight. And took our dollar from $0.75 to $1.05 (though now in retreat).

On the iPhone gmail and gcal webapp work prety well. iPhone's Mail.app integrates with Gmail seamlessly but Gcal requires third party software to sync -- I find BusySync on MacOS X to be the best option.

There's an iPhone terminal app that kind of works but not fully featured enough to let you manage a server purely on the phone.

G1 has homecourt advantage with Gmail and Gcal integration but cruddy design and a few other minor annoyances.

2) Google Mail has a web app, but more importantly, the Mail app on the phone supports it out of the box.

3) Google Calendar can be used on the iPhone using the third-party service nuevasync, in free beta.

4) Regarding a terminal app, a web app might exist that does something similar.

Also there does appear to be a third-party SSH app (http://code.google.com/p/connectbot/), but I don't have any experience with it.

I think that right now the IPhone is more polished. However, the G-1 is more open, so you may be better off with that in the long term.

I know this is gonna sound a bit, uh, odd. But have you considered Nokia N79? I am also in the market for a new phone (ever since my iPhone got a deadstrip) and I am leaning towards N79.

As regards you needs for Gmail, GCal, Putty, etc I have not looked into it but have a feeling that S60 apps for these would probably be available. The thing with S60 apps is that they are not half as polished as iphone ones when it comes to UI but some are very good at what they claim to do.

Ask HN: business case for watermarking or "social" DRM, for programs?
Some books are now published as pdf's, with no DRM - except for an invisible identifier (watermark), and your name on the bottom of each page. The upshot is: you can copy it as much as you want, with no hassles at all, but everyone will know it was you.

For example: http://www.informit.com/store/faq_nondrm.aspx

I find this very appealing, and it seems to be working (at least, publishers are adopting it).

What do you think about applying this to other downloadable products - particularly, programs?

Business 2.0: Bulletproof Startup
OFFTOPIC : (about CS & India)

Yes they should be allowed to. I always wanted to be free from studying general subjects common to all and wanted to specialize into my own interests as soon as possible. But the education system (as in India) doesn't allow to start doing that unless I have completed 12 years of schooling. Over that, to get into good institutions we have to compete on Physics, Chemistry & Maths, and not in the areas we are interested and have developed great skills at early ages. This system of education is really missing on students who tend to develop interests in particular field at early ages. And leaves such students (as in India) to third grade institutions with lack of infrastructure. Such students have learnt and played with things on their own eversince they got interest in their field. But this style of separation by competition in India won't help it in any ways. I find people in IITs who realize that they weren't meant to be there and they don't like computer science... after 2 years of college. And on other hand we got people in low ranking colleges with good skills but restricted due to their college's capabilities and lack of opportunities around their college. I think its clear from my loosely planned thoughts that in India money doesn't exist equally among people... same is the case with education. Apart from a few good universities and colleges, the rest of the majority still lies in gloominess of poor quality.
The goal should be education for everyone and not just for the ones who rank high in competition. Education for those who deserve and not for those who could change morph themselves into high scoring machines... not for those who cleared exams because of familial pressures... for those who like doing what is done in engineering.
The comments so far seem to be analyzing the rule as it pertains to themselves (I'm smart and don't need HS to be successful!). We need to take a step back and look at the larger demographic set.

My wife and I have been advocating this for several years now, but graduation would not be the only option. The emphasis here is on choice. Once they turn 16 (the magical arbitrary number) they have a choice: stay, test out, go get your AA at a comm college, go to a trade school, peace corps, military, or apprentice somewhere. Needless to say the entrenched educators we've talked to about this hate it, but I'm still behind it.

No, they don't. There's little correlation with that profession and political leaning.

And there's also no statistical data to link market performance with a political party. I didn't think you were inferring that, but as a failsafe, I mention it.
I doubt this would happen. Of all the players involved, it's probably the UAW that has the most to loose in a Chapter 11 situation. What's killing GM (and the other American auto manufacturers) is the unreasonably high labor obligations they have accumulated back when the industry was an oligopoly.

The question is, will a president who ran as union-friendly allow UAW workers to loose a ton? GM has a lot of people on payroll earning more than many computer programmers who are simply idle - they don't do anything, don't show up to work, etc. The average labor cost per hour for GM's manufacturing is over $70/hour.

While GM has made significant mis-steps in their management, the fact is that no management no matter how brilliant they were could compete when they have labor costs like that.

Yes and no. I agree that data analysis in excel is great and can be very useful. But intuition also sometimes isn't bad, and for the same reason. Excel or similar applications figure out "patterns" in data where there doesn't seem to be any off hand. Our brains can too, but on a sub-conscious level, so what we call "intuition" is really just the same pattern-extraction going on in a sub-conscious level of processing. So I agree that data analysis is key. But our brains can also do it to a certain extent too - not as an exact, mistake-free thing, to be sure, and therefore excel tools and so forth are still necessary. But, since the same computational principles apply in what we call "intuition" we cannot disregard intuition completely either.
