That's an awesome story!

Initially I didn't like the genetic bottleneck created by just having one pair (i.e. that they should go back and get more now that they know how to care for them, perhaps as a swap) - but then I realized the original source on the island was probably a single individual, so they are all probably virtually clones anyway.

Once they have enough they should sell some - tons of people would be delighted to keep them as pets, and it would remove the risk of having them in just one location.

Companies that use analytics don't care about individual users behavior - they care about behavior of users en masse.

They want to segment their users to figure out how to market and how to evolve -- are their users males between the ages of 18 and 35 from the UK? Do the users spend their time on the front page of HN or the comments? What's the ratio?

That's the kind of analysis these companies do. They don't care about what kijin does on the site -- if they do, the fact that it's YOU versus anyone else is 100% inconsequential.
> The important thing, the scientists thought, was to get a few of these insects protected and into a breeding program. That wasn't so easy. The Australian government didn't know if the animals on Ball's Pyramid could or should be moved.

Defunct LimeWire Buries The Copyright Hatchet, Settles For $15m?
On a hunch I converted 497 days to seconds, and it works out to be 42.9 million. A suspiciously familiar number, as it is precisely 2^32 hundredths of a second. Since 10 ms is a common clock resolution on systems that points to an obvious cause: a 32-bit counter for time rolling over and horfing the relative age calculations, so all of the sockets that were open prior to the rollover stay open forever.

Apple Confirms to Launch iPad 3 on March 7

I have two Macs, two iPhones, an iPad and some Apple Software and I enjoyed them. Also I told my Father to buy Apple products (since I'm the one who tells him how his computer works). I saw Apple getting more and more ridiculous over the last few years (there are hundreds of stories), so here is my conclusion:

Getting more money makes them more evil. That's it for me. I'm not going to buy any Apple products again. I was using a lot of OSS tools, so switching to Linux should be easy.

My Advice to software developers is:

Try to make cross-platform software. You are giving such companies much less power this way.
Oh, yeah, so it is. I didn't notice initially. Probably explains why I was so reminded.

Again though.. I hate to see devs getting screwed over in any context, and I wish Bryan the best, but personally I think he's making his point poorly. Apple is not trying to take his house, and his birthday is irrelevant to their actions.
There are pros and cons to both. Someone paying you $1M may start to act like they own you. Worse yet, if you don't have much other business, it might be true. Also, the process of selling will likely be long, drawn out, and complicated, wasting a lot of time you could use for development.

Also, it might be a lot harder to grow your business from 1 to N $1M buyers, whereas it might be comparatively easier to grow from 100K people paying $10 to 10M paying $10 or, say, 10M paying $10, 10K paying $1k, etc.

Looks beautiful. I particularly like your idea to prepopulate the data using the stream from twitter #tags. Quick question - have you automated this process and if so how do you identify which tweets are images and how are you maintaining quality control on them ?
If python was treating it as a text value then int("009") is 9 as you would expect. Even if it wasn't you could do lstrip("0") to remove leading zeroes before converting to an integer.

From reading the post it sounds like the faults lies more with the developers inability to use python than pythons inabilities.

Also, I know python has functional aspects, but is it really classified as a functional language now?
9 Coolest Smartphones At Mobile World Congress
Hmm.. how do you get sound effects working 'pretty well' in iOS? Apart from the latency the big problem is that you always need a user action (such as a click on a button) for sound to start (1), which is pretty hard for games.

As jacques_chester has already pointed out, being an entrepreneur is all about leadership. It's about recognizing that you are free to do what you want, and that the things that you think are stopping you are just problems to be solved, not immovable barriers.

I think that many entrepreneurs are young because they learned this lesson early in life from their parents. I see kids doing amazing things whilst they're still in high school, things that I would never have tried because I thought that I was "supposed" to just study and do well on my report cards. I hadn't understood that I could start doing things, real things, already. To quote Pink Floyd:

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

That realisation, that you are free, is key to being an entrepreneur, and I think that there are not many people that manage to make that realisation once they are already an adult, and it is this that keeps the number of older entrepreneurs down. All of the usual reasons "Oh, I have a family that I need to spend time with", "But I have a mortgage that I have to keep paying" are not real barriers - or at least they are no more difficult than the other barriers that an entrepreneur is going to be confronted with. The more I look at these reasons, the more I see them as a manifestation of the fact that the person suing them has not yet had the key enlightenment that they are free, and that problems are there to be solved.

If anything, this is a loss for Intel. SeaMicro was the company to push Atom servers the most, and may have been even the only one. If they switch to AMD, that means no other other is interested in making Atom-based servers right now, which clears the path for ARM with their Cortex A15 chips later on.

Google Implemented New Privacy Policy Today
Internet Giant Google, despite of getting warnings from the European Union that it might infringe European law, has gone ahead and implemented its new privacy policy today.
The problem here is a lack of fit between the vendor, who is geared up to sell to Enterprises, and the buyer who is not an 'Enterprise' business.

The Enterprise software sales process is about navigating big businesses' procurement processes, and helping the buyer build a business case that the enterprise will accept.

I'm going through this pain myself. I work for a startup, and some of the vendors we are talking to are clearly geared up to sell 'Enterprise' software to 'Enterprises'.

But I'm CTO of a small startup, and I just want to know what the damn software does, and how much it costs. There's no procurement process, probably not much of a (detailed) business case. I need to buy or build something, and I need to know how much it will cost to buy.

What I do think the writer is correct about, is that software selling is moving towards a self-service/appstore model (not that I see Enterprise software sales disappearing very quickly) and eventually the Internet is likely to disrupt it like many other industries.

All that said, I also found the Enterprise Software sales model really painful when I worked for an Enterprise level business ("Hello IBM, can I buy a database from you?" "Yes, please meet with our sales team of 24 people as a first step")
"poor" is surely being used in the 'has been mistreated' way rather than 'has no money' way.

Whether he knows what his service is used for or not is surely irrelevant though. The ISPs know that piracy goes on over the internet, so why aren't they equally liable?

Computer manufacturers know that computers are used to download copyrighted content. So why not go after computer makers as well. They're enabling piracy!

The C (or at least POSIX) functions that accept broken-down (i.e. seconds, minutes, hours) datetimes allow numbers outside of the range which makes it possible to advance the calendar one month even if you're already in December. For example, give me the date for 8am yesterday:

>>> t = list(time.localtime()); t[2] -= 1; t[3:6] = [8,0,0]; print time.ctime(time.mktime(t))
Wed Feb 29 08:00:00 2012

That correctly handled the leap day and the change in month number -- the 0th day of March became the last day of February.

Give the 1st of the month, 11 months from now:

>>> t = list(time.localtime()); t[1] += 11; t[2:6] = [1,8,0,0]; print time.ctime(time.mktime(t))
Fri Feb 1 08:00:00 2013

That also converted the 14th month of 2012 into the 2nd month of 2013.

"This allows aspiring game developers to learn and build their own games from the code."

Everyone can put up code on Github but then you have to live with the fact that people are pointing out flaws - especially if you encourage other people to learn from the code you put up.

This is one of the few instances where I disagree with that attitude. The risks involved in relocating ill-studied life forms are, obviously, enormous, and it does need careful and dispassionate consideration. I'd much rather risk a mildly interesting species go bye-bye than risk introducing a major ecological stressor.

On the other hand, I might just be taking this stance because I'm so unfamiliar with biological studies in general, and if I knew more, I'd happily take a more gung-ho attitude towards these things.

We use Unicorn, which provides a Rack handler for Rails 2.2 apps. I just mounted the an API router app before the Rails handler in our config.ru. The API router app is just a big regex that looks for API related urls, or passes through to Rails. Though, jnunemaker recently showed me a trick where you can mount Sinatra apps in other Sinatra apps through `#use` (like any Middleware). I may try that out and get away from my ghetto regex routes.

We recently upgraded to Rails 2.3 which is built on Rack. `ActionController::Dispatcher.new` is the last Rack app on the stack now.

I figured you talk Python, that's good to know (x)! However, if you continue:

>>> t = list(time.localtime()); t[2] -= 1; t[3:6] = [8,0,0]; print time.ctime(time.mktime(t))
Wed Feb 29 08:00:00 2012
>>> t[1] -= 1;
>>> time.ctime(time.mktime(t))
'Tue Jan 31 08:00:00 2012'

So if you have a `t` that is Feb 29, one month ago is Jan 31 or Feb 29, depending on how `t` was constructed.
