Sure, but pinterest is pretty similar to other sites. I do expect an explosion of this type now of course.

It'll only be good for everyone but pinterest investors and owners. Not that that will stop the fangirls and fanboys from being outraged I bet.

The best part is that hipster.com did the pinterest thing after it was cool.

Im pretty sure reddit does not have "power users", sure someone could sell a ton of accounts or a service by which they upvote posts through a large number of accounts.

There is no easy way to get to the front page of reddit.
Agreed, I personally counter this by having different private keys for different networks and levels of security clearance. My work key gets me onto the work networks, once inside, I have a network specific key to use inside the network itself. This way I don't need to use ForwardAgent and my personal boxes will not be compromised if my work or any of my friends are.

Mirroring is not backup. If you keep your "backup" server in sync with your live server so that you can promote it to production quickly, it's also going to be in sync with any loss which occurs through sysadmin error or deliberate attack.

Ideally you should have both a mirror on standby and a backup server with multiple earlier copies of your data.
"too enterprisey" = a service that large businesses can integrate deeply into their existing applications, Amazon can bill them for, and yet another compelling reason for companies with obscene amounts of money to dip their toes into AWS.

Look at this feature next to the AWS Storage Gateway, recently announced: these are features to get businesses using portions of AWS so that they demonstrate their reliability and cost effectiveness at a small scale. Once a business is comfortable dealing with Amazon then they provide compelling reasons to expand into more of their services (EBS booting + attaching Storage Gateway volumes to EC2 instances for braindead simple cloud compute migrations away from expensive, inflexible on-premises datacenters, SES, SQS, SNS integration with SWF, etc)

Never forget that Amazon is playing the long game.
Since I can't comment on the site itself:

* don't use agent forwarding ever. If you know better, be damn sure you are right

* don't back up your private key. If you lose it, generate a new one and have someone add it

* do use passwordless keys, but only if they are command (and preferably IP) locked to trigger specific jobs

* use RSA keys, not DSA keys (see Debian random number fiasco for why)

I covered some of this in http://www.tenshu.net/2012/02/sysadmin-talks-openssh-tips-an...
One usecase is analytics workflows. It can also be used to build more elaborate machine learning models (say over data that is too large to fit in one box, and requires distributed coordination)

Tesla uses apparently Li-ion battery. I wonder why I han't experienced the same problem with other electronics using that same type of battery. For example, I had my fully-charged mobile stored away for approx 5 months without charging. When I needed it again, the battery was still usable.

A side-question: can somebody explain what happens to a Li-ion battery when it fully discharges? Why does it become a "brick"?

I think this is meant to be a parallel to things like celery and gearman, i.e. a task queue. A table mapping between AWS services and what components they replace in a typical DIY stack would be helpful for a lot of people (i.e. SQS = RabbitMQ, SWF = celery, ELB = nginx, DynamoDB = Cassandra(?)).

On a related note, there's money to be made by being on the top of reddit, ergo there are a lot of people actively trying. I would not be surprised in the slightest if people have cracked it - albeit it may not be as easy to manipulate as the Digg of yore.

Precisely. And we already have the solution at hand, it just lacks implementation:

swipe up from the bottom of the screen

This would reveal the task switcher the same way it reveals the Notification Center, smoothly and progressively. It would thus give both instantaneous feedback and trivial cancellability. What's more, once the move is complete your finger will end up being very close to the switcher's row, so going back one step (or up to four steps, really) would be a swift swipe-tap.

What they said doesn't necessarily have anything to do with mirroring.

When we take a backup of MySQL to our backup server, we also create a my.cnf file configured to use said backup. As in, we have multiple config files, each created at time of backup, specifically referencing that individual backup. Each can be easily used to start MySQL up using that X day old backup. Then I can shut it down, and start it up again using a completely different backup just by specifying that backup's my.cnf file, all without modifying either backup.

This is also nice because it makes it simple to make sure your backup actually works.
Anecdotaly, most people I know dislike dating.

Catalog all the problems
My whole life I've been plagued by the fact that the world has so many perennial problems, so I started listing them at http://theproblemist.com/

It should go without saying but this is definitely WIP, a very early framework — I've only created a wiki site and filled out a few pages to get a feel for the idea and execution. Still, I'd love any thoughts/collaborators.
It needs an easily pattern-matched reference point, though.

That's pretty stupid. Is Google seriously claiming rights on any possible variation of the word "google", including misspellings that form other words, like goggles?
I was just about to and then realised that I had turned it off a while ago. The fact that I had completely forgotten it shows that I don't need this data.

However, it's also not something I'm hugely concerned about; as others have said the main danger is from some unscrupulous individual gaining access to your account. In terms of Google having access to my data, I would imagine my data will never be seen by human eyes. Having said that, one does need to remember the inherent permanence of data on the internet, as Facebook's timeline has shown sometimes your data can surface in unexpected ways.

I think it's just trying to tell you this isn't a silver bullet for get-me-out-of-google, there are other systems that keep records of when you login/do things or other systems that log searches but don't identify them to you. You just opt out of this specific system.

This is why I like python more than ruby. I feel like ruby has more magic and is harder to deobfuscate than python.

This eventually bubbles up to how rails does things.

Another note is CoffeeScript. I've looked at it but generally feel like it is too much magic with not enough reward. Yet I like jquery which is just the right amount of magic and lots of reward.
StackMob provides a platform for mobile apps which includes a backend/datastore that's running for you in the cloud running behind a REST API. Push messaging is also available, user authentication.. The things you build for your backend infrastructure - except that it's already built. Just start using the StackMob SDKs to help you take advantage of the services.

This particular component is part of our HTML5 offering - in particular how you would host your HTML5 files on StackMob via GitHub. We provide a JS SDK that enables your web app to access StackMob (datastore, push, etc). To accomplish that, and to make sure that any browser can support it (and not depend on implementation of CORS - cross origin - headers), we provide hosting for your web apps so that there's no potential of cross-domain rejections. The aim for that is to support as broad an audience for your app as possible - not just the latest browsers that support CORS. It also helps answers security concerns we had, as we didn't want your OAuth keys floating out there in your JS source.

Just a quick snippet of what we do in programmatic terms. The following code via the StackMob JS SDK saves your user object to StackMob servers.

var user = new Stackmob.User({ username: 'Chuck Norris', password: 'my fists', age: 2000, weaponofchoice: 'nunchucks' });
user.create({ success: function(model) { /* saved! */ } } ); //this fires of AJAX that saves your user

We'll need to do a better job of encapsulating that in a digestable format for news consumption, but I do hope that helps a bit!
My feelings and the reason that (personally) I don't want this is I spend all day doing online marketing for brands and retailers and I have very different interests outside of work.

The system (at present) does not seem intelligent enough to decipher between which of my friends should suggest what film I should go to vs. which should be giving me financial advice vs. which are just backing a product because they're a client.

Strictly regarding the web/search history thing, if I work on a campaign for Burger King and browse their site and related products a lot of the day, I don't really want "Burger King" to come up first on a search with local intent for "restaurants in New York", in that instance I'd prefer see the generic results.

For me it's not that I don't want Google to have the data or I have anything to hide, it's that I think the "search" experience it creates because of my very different needs in and out of work is poor (and likely to get worse with sharing this data across platform) and I don't want to spend my days having to keep a super close eye on which account I'm currently logged into before doing a search.

It's all personal preference and for some this will provide a great experience, and it may get better. For now though, I like the ability to say "no thank you, I like generic search".
The stupid thing about IE's implementation is that, while it is supposed to restrict third-party cookies unless sites have an acceptable privacy policy, it treats an invalid P3P header as if it were an acceptable privacy policy, rather than treating it as if there were no privacy policy. I don't see anything in the spec which mandates that.
Regarding the taxis, just about every taxi in Australia runs on LNG these days. It's widely available, and aside from the benefits on somewhat cleaner emissions, you can easily make the money back on the conversion for the number miles they rack up.
I'm surprised this is not subsidized in the USA, especially now that the reserves of gas have been revised up so much.
I turned it off a couple years ago, but I just removed it, just in case. I don't trust Google any more than I do Facebook.

Look past that. This is super useful - high scale services often have loosely coupled services which pass data from one stage to the other and act on it based on various decision factors. Almost everyone I know invents their own mechanism for gluing these things together - the SWF seems super useful there.

Windows Azure (my former team) actually tried to do this with Azure Workflow Services several years ago, but that got killed around a year into it's existence.
Forrester: Get Ready for 1 Billion Smartphones by 2016
Call me naive, but I like the idea of having tailored Search results and integrated information and recommendations based on my data at Google products.

Google is one of few companies that I trust. So while most people are freaking out about losing some sense of privacy I personally think that it can open some very exciting opportunities and new features. I want to see where this is going and how Google will be able to use my information that he has to provide something valuable to me. I'm happily keeping all my google data and search history. And I'm also ok with Google selling my anonymized profile with third parties.

After my password was stollen on PSN PWNAGE and my own Mom broke into my MSN account to delete my contacts on a Rage spree I don't trust many people anymore. So don't think I don't think my info and privacy are not worth my caution.

But after reading Google ToS carefully I agree with everything they want to do and I'm ok with it. Most people certainly never read Google's new ToS. a lot of information on the news in the last months and even here in Hacker News are FUD and misconceptions. Google will not own you, they just want to use your data to provide more value to you and it's advertisers. You are not exposed.

So top freaking out a little bit. Read the ToS and think about it.

>This does not mean a Jabber ID is an email address.

Though on many mail providers these days, it's the other way round that's true. A lot of people use GMail, but few realize that this means they also have a JID (Jabber ID) and can use XMPP, since Google opens their servers.

It's a shame, really. Google seriously missed a chance to kill all of the mess of a thousand and one IM providers (each with their own, proprietary protocol) and replace it with the open and partially decentralized XMPP protocol, which anybody can implement and run.
I offered to write this a while ago; apparently they've already been working on it, though.
Have you discovered Google Chrome's helpful "Users" feature? I use it for keeping Facebook and other abusive sites away from my main web activity, but it sounds like you've got a good use case for "Work" and "Real life" users.
The new Gmail is worse than the last one. I have dropped a few feedback lines. A few examples:

- The decoupling of reply box and the email "cards".
- The removal of colors in the names, which was very useful to guide yourself through the different actors in a email conversation.

Just to new a few. The new Gmail pretends to be better, but it just can't cut it off.
There's been a recent surge in users I believe. I've seen the same thing. And this new feature isn't a big change. Previously when u as ken a question then the only way to how it to others was y paying wih credits for that feature. They've just taken one step out.

The quality of e questions is a Function of new users who don't realize that quora requires well formatted questions. They will either learn or they won't be able to add anymore as they will run out of credits.

Quoras incentives align so that the most popular answer gets to the top and also answers by celebrity get to the top - this one problem with the present incentives.

It's what people say about all kinds of dating. It's just that men are more active about looking for women, I think.
The use case is automating the pre-recording of a voice snippet which will be used hundreds of times. Fiverr is not cheaper: $5/$10 for vocal talent, $200+ for me to interrupt my schedule five times to find the talent, explain the task, check the deliverable, upload it, and receive OK from the client.

I'd much rather spend two days hooking up the API so that this is entirely self-serve for my customers.
As far as I know, Google Takeout doesn't support Web History. If they supported it, I'd take out my search history in a heartbeat.

As it stands now, I do sometimes refer back to it, but I don't think it's worth having it if it means giving up the information to advertisers as well.

Concept2 Model D Indoor Rowing Machine : A Review
Tech Depression and Suicide
Seeing that something sucks is not the important point. Everybody can do that. You must ask WHY, before working on solving your problems with the situation on hand.

And I think the reason for dating sites being quite bad is not, that nobody sees the problems. It's just that there are way bigger problems that need to get solved first and when these problems are solved you don't need to solve any other problem anymore to be successful (at least in the short run). And the big problem of all social communities and market places (dating site is something of both in my eyes) is that you need get people to come in. If there are a lot of people, other's will come automatically. If there are no people, nobody will come. The software or the service quality is only a second rank problem. So I wonder, how do u solve the community problem first?

I likely won't. Reason being, if I want customized, "filtered" searches, Google is where to be. If I want privacy and/or unfiltered searches, I'll use Duck Duck Go and Blekko.

If trust becomes an issue with Google, I won't just clear my search history, I'll leave for good.

Yeah - I'm fed up of all the "What does it feel like to..." and "Which Quora users like to" questions. Haven't figured out how to get them out of my stream yet.
Search results not carrying over to Google News when you click the black header tab is something that drove me crazy for a good week until I trained myself to use the left-side menu for switching between result types.

It doesn't make sense, particularly when "News" is the ONLY tab which doesn't carry the search terms over. Try it with Images, YouTube and Maps; wonderful. I wouldn't necessarily expect convention to follow with Gmail or Documents, sure, but NEWS? Come on!

The missing + on Chrome made me think I had a screwy update.
