I'd love to hear your thoughts - is Gmail + MailChimp + Wishery an effective and efficient startup CRM?
So does that mean that someone could de-orbit the space station?
There is definitely a learning curve associated with proper NoSQL data-modeling (and slightly different for each of the above stated DBs), but a place for both relational and non exists, as they each solve different problems! (NoSQL being really good at time-series data)
Finally, it looks like someone nailed it, or at least has a great start. We want to work inside email, not launch a separate app.
my experience with audio books have not been enjoyable. My speed of reading is much faster the narrator's which leaves me a little impatient. and books of depth require your complete attention, in which case it easier to sit down and focus on them ( so no parallel house work..)
On the Shopping List page, should the button read "Edit List" not "Edit Menu". Looks like I can use that for the secret ingredient, I can just use a recipe online close to what mine is, then add the one or two things to the list.

* Also was pleasantly surprised to see ColdFusion. Are you using CF9 or one of the open source servers?
This was a great stunt, good read if you want ideas in how to promote your work...
I like the idea, but I disagree that this is a pleasant interface.

There's a lot of repetition -- maybe it's just me, but I'd rather have the jobs separated by Fulltime/Freelancer first and then by month, so you'd only have two tabs at the left with a list of months under that tab.

I also like the Regex search so I can do some complex searches, but I wish there was some basic functions built in -- Like pulling out City/State when applicable.

We are a funded startup seeking our third software engineer. We deliver e-textbooks and digital course materials with the goal of reducing costs to students and improving educational outcomes. Meet some of our team: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47Tx21C-7G0

We're ~75% front-end (JavaScript/CoffeeScript) and ~25% back-end (Python). We iterate quickly and release often, and have a strong devops mentality.

We're looking for a professional with strong front-end skills, attention to detail, and the proven ability to ship. If you think you can help improve the educational experience for students and instructors then let's talk. matt @ courseload.com
It's interesting to see Marco change his mind on multi-page saving.

Last year, he defended his decision to not offer that feature: http://www.marco.org/2011/07/19/siracusa-multipage

I wonder if the timing with Readability's iOS apps released today is just a coincidence or perhaps the catalyst for offering this feature.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Marco has had to compete with a free clone until now, right? Read It Later has a paid app and Spool is still in beta.

PS. FWIW, the new bookmarklet still doesn't stitch together Siracusa's Lion review. Bug or still intentionally?
I'd be surprised if the information was Top Secret, or even Secret - when I was working at an FFRDC we could but that on any computer that would ever be attached to the internet. I'm guessing it was just FOUO (For Official Use Only).

> Who's lost out?

Well, the market, for one. All of your non-revenue market effects (discussion with friends, perceived usage, etc) show up as apparent success for a product that you feel is not worth buying. This can help promote purchases of that product and in turn diminish market incentive for the providers to improve on it.

Piracy does not send a clear message to content providers about your opinions of the quality of their content. If you are truly interested in having purchase-worthy content available, finding some financially appealing way of acquiring non-purchase-worthy content only hinders that goal.
which due to deduping (also what any sane enterprise would do)

Well, now. It seems possible to me that, in the current legal environment, copies are infringing or not, rather than links. If that's the case, then deduping is either destroying legal copies or conducting infringement, depending on exactly what operations were performed. This seems sane as long as you believe bits have color, I suppose.

He claims to be innocent. The US government claims he is not. There should be and will be a trial.

None of that is what bothers anyone. What people are up in arms about is:

a) Presumption of guilt. A company which may very well be defensible has been destroyed. If the court agrees with him over the feds he's suffered massive revenue loss at a minimum and there may be no coming back as competitors will scramble to replace him in which case he's lost an entirely legitimate livelihood.

b) Extradition on a global scale by federal authorities for what's basically a civil matter.

c) Jail time threatened for everyone involved in the company right down to the web designer when much bigger and, in the eyes of the public, "just as obvious" misdoings from wall street bankers was rewarded with slightly smaller but still massive bonuses.
> Microsoft aimed higher and sought to pretty much own the entire ecosystem and everything in it.

They've wanted to own the ecosystem but not everything in it. In fact, there was a significant strategic tension between wanting to control the tools developers use to build apps and wanting to leave the app development space as open and accessible as possible.

You don't need a developer licence to write an app to run on Windows. Likewise, you don't need permission from Microsoft to sell that app to Windows users. You don't even need to be running Windows on your development machine. Those are three significant, meaningful ways that Microsoft's approach, even at its most hegemonic, has always been more open, accessible and inclusive than Apple's.
This looks extremely cool, and I'm really tempted!

In light of recent things like Path etc. (and without insinuating anything!) - could you clarify what information is sent via Streak's servers, if any?
What Women Want - 6 Lessons from 100K Pinterest Visitors
Dart just seems phenomenally boring. Now, I'm not necessarily against boring. A great synthesis of what we've learned thus far in PL design, breaking no new ground, but packaging it together into a nice cohesive whole would be very welcome. But Dart seems like just a minor rearrangement of Java which does little to make Java faster, safer, or more expressive. Why invest in Dart as opposed to Java 8 + GWT, or CoffeeScript for that matter?
Good points. To clarify, by "suboptimal" I meant that the Javascript code generated by transpiling a Dart application will almost certainly be less optimal than writing that application in Javascript from the outset. But, again, whether this will be an issue remains to be seen.

If there does turn out to be significant overhead to the transpilation phase, I'm curious if a pragmatic subset of Dart will emerge that avoids any language features that incur expensive tranformation costs, sort of like how some modern Python projects (e.g. Django) handle 2to3 compatibility by avoiding language features that are incompatible across versions to achieve a more unified codebase[1].

Ginzametrics - http://www.ginzametrics.com

We're hiring: Full Stack Developer

What we do:

Ginzametrics is an SEO and inbound marketing management platform for the enterprise market.

Our customers are large ecommerce, tech, agencies and media companies who have complex SEO operations, often in many countries around the world.

What we're looking for:

We're a small team building a big product for demanding customers. Almost all of us (including me, the CEO) contribute to building the product every day. We're looking for one more developer who can code on the entire stack of our application. On any given day, we are improving our web crawlers, rewriting analytics modules or hacking with JavaScript on our new (soon to be released) UI. We need another great person to help us grow.

Ideally, you'll have some background in at least one or two of the following:
building a big data analytics product, large-scale web crawling, social network platforms & APIs (Facebook, Twitter, etc.), online marketing and advertising, international customers.

Why you should work with us:

We exist in a great, underserved market that is growing quickly. We're the only company in our space that actually delivers on the promise of enterprise scale and sophisticated functionality. We're well-funded and have solid revenues from awesome customers. Our team is small, scrappy and energetic. We'd love to hear from you.
Whoops, sorry about that! Totally fair criticism. I wasn't thinking that deeply about it, just quickly adding to the page. And though we do love people who are familiar with Etsy and are into the mission, it's certainly not a requirement.

For those who are unfamiliar (since I can no longer edit my post below): Etsy is the global handmade marketplace. Our mission is to empower people to change the way the global economy works. We see a world in which very-very small businesses have much-much more sway in shaping the economy, local living economies are thriving everywhere, and people value authorship and provenance as much as price and convenience. We are bringing heart to commerce and making the world more fair, more sustainable, and more fun. As I mentioned below, tons more info and positions at http://www.etsy.com/careers, as well as contact info in my profile for any questions you may have.

awe.sm are building a social media analytics platform. Lots of companies have the same use-case: they need to track their content as it travels through Twitter and Facebook, and capture how much traffic that generates them, and ultimately how much money that makes them, e.g. in purchases, signups or page views. We do all of that for them, so they don't have to reinvent the wheel. We have a bunch of APIs and big-data crunching to make it possible, and we're getting bigger and faster and adding features all the time.

We're hiring 2x front-end engineers, and 2x back-end engineers:

http://awe.sm/jobs

For front-end: we have a web app written in Backbone.js, and are looking for people who are (or want to be) great at JavaScript, and are already great at CSS.

For back-end: we are more concerned with "smart and gets things done" than your actual language set, but big data and high-performance real-time systems should be interesting to you. Currently we have systems written in PHP, Ruby (on Sinatra) and a fair amount of Bash.

We're a team of 10, rising to 14 once we hire you people. Our perks include offices with an awesome view ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/seldo/6326815086/in/photostream ) at 22nd and Mission, catered lunch 3x a week, and a company IRC server, which should tell you a lot about the kind of devs we are.

Singly, sponsoring The Locker Project (http://lockerproject.org), is building an open source data locker to put you in control of the information you have on N services, and an application platform to make it all useful. We believe end-users should have absolute power over how their data is stored and used, and developers should be able to build on it without setting up servers or authing infinity service (we do it for you). We've just launched to developers (come play!) and are looking for people who {heart} data and want to charge through scaling and design iterations with us.

Apply through https://singly.com/#About-WorkWithUs or kristjan@singly.com, or just come hang with us in #lockerproject on Freenode.

I have the same issue on Safari 5.2 on OS X 10.7
It's not a simplification. It's information theory. It's not about one-to-one encodings (eg, bit 14 is whether you live in Arizona or not -- such a scheme would be ridiculous), but rather the amount of information that a discriminator reveals.

For instance, knowing that a person lives in the US reveals a little under 5 bits of information (there are a little over 2^28 people living in the US, according to Google). The entropy is just a measure of the amount of information that gives us in narrowing down a population; not an exact encoding.

This is really difficult sometimes. I wholeheartedly agree with Jason about giving new ideas some time (and thought). Most people are resistant to change and their immediate reaction is to reject new and/or novel ideas. Some ideas take days of rumination before you fully grasp the implications so you just have to take the time to let them sink-in.
this particular site uses browsers defaults. calling this lack of consistency is wrong :)
We do play nice with Rapportive usually, but ya difficult to test all different configurations. Will have to troubleshoot that with your specific settings.
