I agree with the other comments here,

but

The -1's that trickle in from time to time, on questions/answers from a year ago are just, well, annoying.

I wont delete them, as I guess they serve as a testament of what not to do & generally have helpful comments thatcan be useful for future searchers .. but if an answer is at -1 on a question from march last year, with an accepted answer ... what are people getting from distributing further downvotes?
I think the "need" comes from the content owners, who refuse to license their material to services that don't implement a form of DRM that they approve of.

It would of course be much easier if the content owners some day understood that DRM solves absolutely nothing, only makes the UX worse, and the content is still being copied freely out there, despite all the protection.
First off I believe Sheryl Sandberg move to Facebook had less to do with money and more to do with intellectual challenge. She was set for life before FB. I am sure the money only helped her decision making.

These figures seem pretty crazy, but competition for top talent in the tech world is nuts right now (Amazon, FB, Apple, Google, MSFT, not to mention other cool, smaller companies). I would be curious to see how FB compares to the banks in total compensation (including stock/options). Most banks have moved away from cash compensation. Tech is hot now, but I bet during similar cycles in other industries these figures would not be completely off. Things within the industry should normalize long-term.

This would be a great way to create a PHP-based templating system that just uses a subset of PHP as syntax. Would be very fast.
My favorite underdog platform is Nintendo's 3DS. No flash support, but it does have a browser and a Netflix app.
The part I'm not yet getting about Pepper - does it only support those native client objects as described here? https://developers.google.com/native-client/overview

Or do plugins like flash have the choice between native client and just using a shared library as they did and Pepper also supports that?

In the first case it would basically mean that flash would run sandboxed (and maybe on every system supported by Pepper, so once ARM support is added it could run there as well again). But probably with some speed-hit (~5% according to the documentation)
Fair. Whatever case you want to call it, the point is that privacy shouldn't have to be a conditional, special-case thing (a "specific" "concern" or "need").
The article is missing an important detail. They didn't just remove the ability to reload. They replaced it with the ability to go back to the top of your stream without reloading everything. (on g+ at least)

Since google+ already loads new posts automatically. In practice this will do almost the same as before, but with less waiting on the client side. Sounds like a smart design choice imo.

I thought that was common knowledge - that with drinking - you have in general poorer sleep. It's rather insidious.
How to Link 3rd Party Service Identity to User Data in Kinvey
My brother in law is a "sleep scientist" at UPenn.

His recommendation is that sleep cycles typically happen in 4 hour intervals so it's best to sleep 4 or 8 hours a night.

Getting up int he middle of a sleep cycle is often as bad as getting less than 4 hours of sleep.

And going to bed drunk is the worst for your sleep cycle.
Much easier to just open the app and get prompted to download the latest.
According to my Bodymedia Fit, I almost never ever get a true 8 hours or more of sleep. Sure, I lay down at 10 PM or so and get up at 6 AM or later, but if this little device is as accurate as they claim it really opened my eyes that I was never getting 8 hours, when I thought I actually was. It says normally I get between 6 and 7 hours.

Edit: I'm curious what the recommended amount of sleep, or if it really is an individual thing per 24 hour or so period.
Yes. The phone I carry because I want to call people, not because I want the GPS to keep a watchful eye on my position.

The sassy display glasses would be wielded exactly because I want a computer to analyze what I see in some way. It's not merely an extra component.
Lazy web: Any idea what laws were passed in the area that helped lure Apple and Facebook to create data centers there?

I am guessing Apple is going to use this facility for their iCloud services. I am sure they will be buying up large plots of land all over the place in the coming years as iCloud becomes more important to their business.
erm... have you been there?
I guess the problem is that the target you envision (people conscious of car consumption who drive small cars) does not exist in the united states.

Good or bad, this creates a market for someone selling them the same massive cars americans like, but with an electric engine.
Maybe people succumb to the hype. Maybe they want the latest shiny running their own shiny new thing. I'm sure these things contribute greatly.

But I see another aspect to this whole "We Use Shiny Cogs" movement: high-level vs. low-level. As we make tools that abstract us away from the metal, we are able to spend less time thinking about the electrons flowing across silicon and more time thinking about building something John Q. Public will pay for.

We architect higher and higher abstractions for exactly this reason. And it comes with a price: at some point you stop running things as efficiently as possible and there's waste. If we were all studied CS students and could write kernels and compilers from scratch, we might spend five years building a very tight, efficient stack for Twitter that could run on a single box (maybe with a hot failover). But we're not. We're a collection of humans with differing levels of understanding and will power, many of whom just want to Get Shit Done and stop thinking about kernel task queues.

So lets turn his "rich man's problem" around a bit: you build your idea on top of a stack that you understand and keeps you happy, and when you bring in the capital (through revenue or investment - whatever) you put money into deeper, lower-level engineering. Until then, build your idea the way you know how.
What do you think about this security product?
The article suggests that it's natural to take two four hour sleep sessions, intermediated by a one to two hour break.

I think that this bears out to what many of us are experiencing, and the idea to consider is simply to stop worrying about it and embrace it. The 'second sleep' is likely getting cut short, because we are not budgeting for the break.

I consistently tend to find myself daydreaming during this part of the night, anxious (as the article notes) about not sleeping. So personally, I'm just going to continue doing this without worry, and budget time for it. Duh, right? Why didn't I think of that before? It makes perfect sense now after reading the article.

I may even go wild and actually get up and do things for an hour or two every night, you know, for science.

Many thanks to the poster.
Why is there so much noise over this? How many times does Flash have to die? Yes, the Flash plugin will be with us for another decade, but shouldn't most of us have moved on? I uninstalled Flash on my two Macs in December. I'm doing fine so far. Sometimes, I need to switch over to Chrome for video, but so far I'm not missing it.

Does the Amazon EC2 terms allow that? If not, you might give Amazon (or a zealous front line fraud watcher) an excuse to lock out both your accounts, before you get into any dispute.
I have experienced this dilemma in a different domain: machine learning. You can either go the Hadoop way and commit to simpler algorithms that can be run in distributed manner or you can keep pushing the single machine more and more by use of ever more clever algorithms. Unfortunately, it is hardly ever possible to follow the route of push-single-machine-to-max -> thorw-more-machines-in. The distributed way and shared memory way of doing things often differ in fundamental ways.

Going with big data tool chains from the start is often a overkill for small experiments. But once you outgrow one machine, the pain of undoing all the nice (algorithmic) tricks is also quite severe.

Perhaps it is time to accept that we now produce data at a rate that distributed is going to be the way to process it. But this also means that some of the techniques available for scaling to larger data sets may need to be given up.
EU to Limit Mobile Data Roaming Price
I'm using ST2 for CoffeeScript/js development, and Visual Studio with ReSharper for backend C# development. The difference is night and day -- it feels like ST2 is designed with the sole goal of helping me write code as fast as possible with as little friction as possible. I used to wish that Visual Studio supported tmbundles, now I'm trying to figure out how to fit a C# development process into ST2.
If that's the case, that makes sense on google+. On GMail though, I personally am used to clicking on the logo to refresh my inbox. Now I have to click on the navigation tab "inbox" to do that. It isn't a big deal really, but I find it odd to completely rip out the previous action only to replace it with no action at all.

Maybe that could explain why the segmented sleep pattern was considered normal way back when. I don't imagine there was a whole lot for people to do in the evenings besides drink =)
I've found that starting the day with work right away boosts my productivity for the rest of the day as opposed to days when, for example, I check out my twitter feed or otherwise procrastinating.

Try this out: check your browser history and compare the days when the first thing you did was procrastinate on the Internet vs. the days you start with work. You'll likely find that days tht start with work are less filled with visits to sites like twitter, HN, reddit, Facebook, etc. than days that start with those activities. Now try making work the first thing you do in the morning and see for yourself.

I experience two sleeps sometimes when I'm not alone or when I drink a lot. If I'm alone, I usually read for an hour, and if I'm not alone, reading is the second choice. I always go back to sleep easily and get my full allotment. Until I read this article, it never occurred to me that I might be able to have that experience every night. Honestly, it sounds wonderful; sign me up to be in the vanguard. Now if only I could figure out how to make it happen when I'm alone and not drunk!

I have relatives on Linux and this will complicate things for me. Basically I have to install Chrome and explain why videos and other stuff work only on Chrome. However, it is the way I prefer it by now anyway: use a Firefox without Flash for daily browsing and Chrome for Flash things.

Don't underestimate how complicated it might be to explain this to "noobs", though.
Sailors' sleep patterns are mostly dictated by their watch schedule. Different ships have different schedules (eg, three eight-hour shifts, or four six-hour shifts, etc) and basically you try to get sleep whenever possible.

I sailed on a ship that had six four-hour watches with three watch groups. That meant that one group would stand two 4-hour watches per 24-hour period (eg, 4am-8am then 4pm-8pm). With less than eight hours between watches, you had no choice but to sleep in two different blocks each day.

The effects of such a schedule and standing watch in a windowless engine room deep in the hull of the ship are quite interesting. For example, people (myself included) would completely forget whether it is PM or AM. If you occasionally go outside--rather than straight from the engine room to your bunk--you never knew whether to expect it to be light or dark out. I often went out expecting to reminisce under the star-laden sky, only to find out it's broad daylight out.
That's not a subset, that's just a different syntax.

If you're making a template language for use in a SaaS system, you'd want to perhaps allow echo, but not file_put_contents.

I run ArchLinux, use Chrome, and have the flashplugin-prelease installed. This is version 10.0 of Flash. Because this plugin is out of date Chrome will disable flash on all websites I visited that use Flash. It would then show a little bar at the top indicating that my flash plugin is out of date and therefore disabled. If I wanted to run Flash anyway it gave me the option to run it for the current page. I noticed that I rarely ever want to run flash unless i'm specifically visiting a youtube link. I really think this "Run Flash for current page" functionality should be the default though. I like having the option of turning on flash only when i absolutely want it. If I just keep running the older versions of Flash I can continue getting this desired functionality.

Depends on your volume, of course, but seems expensive. 1 million jobs scheduled, 4 steps per job? $200. And you're locked into their API.

You can have 8 workers each polling an Amazon SQS queue once a second for $19/month.

Having had huge problems with their queues (3 minute lags, spurious duplicates) I'm wary of Amazon's polling-based API. SWF's long-poll feature is smart versus SQS, however.

Sure, that's the best way, but most people cannot do it; they risk being late for work, or in my case, getting the kids to school. (Actually, to be honest, my only risk is in not having as much time as I'd like before the kids wake up.)

A good second choice seems to be using something like 'Sleep Cycle' for iPhone, or one of these fancy new wristband accelerometer gizmos. I've had good success with Sleep Cycle, myself.
The issue is not with start-ups or established players its with US Congress and the DOJ who have consistently used 911 to over-reach to control things so that they do not have to hear dissent.

My apologies to citizens in Third World countries as I lack the vocab early this morning to express it in a different way.
NaCL would probably have been mentioned if it was involved. I think Chrome can still do less fine-grained, OS-assisted sandboxing, and Flash on Pepper is cooperating with that.

hm, sorry to ask, but: are you employed?

most folks I know, including me, have serious problems with sleep. it seems like we tap into each corner of human body and understand less or more how it works, but yet there is no real science behind how sleep works and how much of it we need. Heck, afaik scientists still argue why we need sleep at all and whats the main reasoning behind it. But not to brag too much: sometimes it happens to me that I sleep less hours and am more refreshed than sleeping longer, or even legit 7 or 8. I guess I just hit the right spot at the right time and REM phases worked out. If someone comes up with a device that can help you sleep not too long not to short so you always wake up fresh, I think he/she will nail a billion dollar idea!
In the same place where they declare mobile (a bit of a misnomer, tablets aren't exactly mobile, not much more than notebooks anyway) Flash dead.

Flash is appealing because it has features HTML/CSS/JS do not have and because everyone on every platform has it. Since mobile devices are becoming ever more important and Flash is not supported on those devices (or will not be) the second part of that sentence is no longer true.

Conclusion: Flash is dead. We will have to deal with it for years but it's on its way out. A web technology that will not work on mobile devices has no future.
Most of all the new videos are truncated. I've subscribed to the course 'cause I know a bit of coding but i'm missing all the new MVC stuff, hoping to find a great course. Unfortunately I think the quality (for the first published videos) is a bit under par: truncated text in slides, noisy audio, no subtitles and generally (up to now) the level is quite basic. I hope it will be better going on..
I am really into 'do what works for you'. You may find that that sleeping in two 4 hour blocks changes your life. You feel alive!

Alternatively you may find yourself more tired. Personally I like sleeping 8-9 hours a night. I find myself fairly alert a few minutes after I wake up and I can start my day. It certainly doesn't feel 'unnatural' to me.

I am also a big fan of sleeping when other people sleep so I can enjoy time with friends and family. Unusual sleep patterns typically mean missing out on some of this time.

Yep. It seems to be impossible to delete an SSL certificate for an ELB via the console, for example. You can set one up, but not remove it - for that you need the CLI tools.
Aha, cheers.
But most ethanol is net energy negative. Brazilian sugarcane is an exception, but it loses some of its advantage when it's shipped to the US in tankers. Even then, sugarcane requires non-renewable inputs (just not as much as corn). Cellulosic ethanol (from plants that can grow well on marginal farmland, like switchgrass) _is_ still in its infancy. Also, most current engines would need to all be retrofitted to run on anything much greater than E85 because of the greater corrosion.

You're right, though, I should've said something like 'practical biofuels' are in their infancy. I was really more referring to algae oil based petroleum or butanol, as they seem like the most promising candidates for a net-energy positive and high energy density renewable fuel.

(also, it's very cool that you ran on that in the 80s, mind if I ask what kind of car it was, or if you'd had it customized?)
