Probably YouTube went for MySQL because that was a standard part of the LAMP stack — in the absence of any compelling factors, just about any Web developer in the mid-2000s would have chosen MySQL — and Google didn't see the benefit to switching.
HP offered a 1920x1200 display in some of their 15" laptops. And Apple lagged behind in screen resolution for years (when I bought my Mac, 1440x900 was the highest res 15" display they sold).
Big problem there - lack of data.

Tripadvisor et al have the advantage that, with all the Internet posting (admittedly with dubious quality, but...), they can show a review of almost anything.

Within my social circle? They won't even be 10% comprehensive for my own town, let alone once I start going away.

Nice idea, won't work.

Where on earth did you get the idea that there is something illegal about selling exploits? Several companies exist that do exactly this, and they operate in public, above board.

To my knowledge, the US government is the biggest buyer of unpublished exploits. And they pay a lot more than 60k. One well-known US-based company is even run by a former NSA employee, and they're currently advertising a remote pre-authentication exploit in the latest version of MySQL.

Accept header based versioning is self-documenting. I've worked on implementing support for this in tastypie: https://github.com/toastdriven/django-tastypie/pull/394

It's like this:

-->
GET /api/
Accept: application/json

<--
Content-type: application/vnd.api.v1+json
<stuff>

Then your consumers can know what version of the API they're interacting with and act accordingly.
WRT prejudiced reviews, venues that have a decent number of reviews usually reach some sort of average weighting such that aberrations hardly affect the star rating. That's why 5 star places still have 1 star reviews and 1 star places have 5 star reviews.
Rackspace Cloud or AWS are your most equivalent options. There are lots of cloud VPS providers, but it's difficult to tell if they have any better security practices. I'd venture to guess that most small VPS providers aren't really any more secure; they're just smaller targets.
I did this once before and it was instructional and fun (for a certain definition of fun). If you like hacking around on your system, this is a great way to understand a lot of the moving parts in Linux.

I still like the idea of a minimally patched system built and configured from the ground up. Building everything from source takes a long time, so I didn't do Linux-From-Scratch more than once and instead most of my linux machines are now running ArchLinux, which has a similar philosophy about systems except that they distribute compiled binaries.

Anyways, if you haven't built many programs from source before, this is a great way to get a curated introduction. Worth it in many ways.

I disagree, the sandbox is by far the best defense ever made in a browser. 60k per exploit is quite a good sum. Even for a couple month's worth of work.

It should not be a blackmail sort of operation.
I've seen that as well. There are two things going on. One is that agencies will add the jobs to their books. It makes them look better - "hey look at all these cool jobs we are recruiting for".

The second is that they can claim to have introduced a candidate to you and can try to sue. Often a company will just roll over especially if it turns out to be a good candidate.

Remember that the good recruiters will be successful meeting the needs of their clients (employers & candidates). Bad ones won't so they will spread themselves far and wide until they get a bite.
Convince me it's extortion and I might agree with you, but I've read many filtered and unfiltered reviews and it seems that Yelp does a fine job filtering. The filtered reviews sound like morons or shills; the unfiltered reviews sound like customers sharing an experience. Paying Yelp to advertise doesn't seem to be a factor.

I'm just not feeling the hate. My main problem with Yelp is that the star ratings are useless because everyone else's standards are different from mine. I don't care if something is expensive; I'm happy to pay money for good food and good service. But for other people, that's an automatic negative eight billion star rating. So Yelp becomes essentially useless unless I read every review. (I understand Zagat has controls for this, but I've never actually used it.)

And now for the statement that's going to get me in trouble: whenever I see an ad like a Yelp ad or an Adsense ad, it implies a certain amount of shadiness to me. The businesses that are good don't need to buy ads, leaving most ads to be from businesses with some problem.

I'm not sure that is inherent to games. Many people devote a lifetime to mastering games like Chess or Go.

Its a little more true of video games, but even there the lifetimes can be quite long. The original StarCraft was relased in 98 and is still being actively played even with StarCraft II out.

Of course, the thing all these examples have in common is competition with other players, but that is true in all MMOs as well.
I feel like apple is already slipping without steve jobs. calling the new ipad "the new ipad" certainly doesnt seem like a smart move (same goes with the iphone 4s - wouldnt you rather have an iphone 5?). and furthermore, there's again very little innovation in the device, the outside hasnt changed at all, albeit being a little thicker. just improving display resolution seems like a change most ipad2 users won't appreciate enough. I just feel like that apple is now just draining every penny from it's customers with small innovations and a huge brand - while still being unable to decide what to do with it's stockpiles of money.

Ask strangers in the street. If they are civil enough you would get pretty good recommendations from locals. They have more experience and no incentive to bullshit you. I have been doing that everytime i go somewhere new, and it works well. It gets me to places I would have never found otherwise, and if the chef knows the person who got me there, I usually get preferential treatment and it becomes a subject of conversation. Thats probably how people knew where to eat before all these online services.
I preordered an iPad 3 and plan to sell my Galaxy Tab 10.1 as soon as the iPad shows up.

The integration with Google Talk and Gmail is a plus for Android, but Android on a tablet seems to still suck for usability otherwise. Additionally battery life sucks (some random app would occasionally just grab a wakelock and suck down battery to zero), and so does media management.

And after having an Android tablet for 10 months now, I still have yet to see apps for it that are as compelling as I've seen from day one on the iPad. Aside from Google's own apps, Android apps that actually take advantage of the tablet form factor (as opposed to just being smartphone apps that get stretched awkwardly to the giant screen) are few and far between.

Are you familiar with anyone who has ever gone to prison for selling an exploit to a third party? What were they charged with? You may not be interested in the kind of attention you'd get from intelligence or law enforcement, but as far as I know the act itself is legal in most/all jurisdictions.
Don't know if the author is reading, but would be nice if the main domain list was sorted.

Have dealt with a few of those mentioned and agree, and was going to forward the site to our internal recruiter to make sure don't use them. :)
It takes a ridiculous discount rate to effectively become 0 in 20 years. 5%/year * 20 years = (1-.05)^20 = 35.8%. 10%/year * 20 years = (1-.1)^20 = 12.6%.

Still, 100 years is often considered a reasonable limit on such things as 5% * 100 years = 0.6%.
When Sol Food had their original restaurant the food was good and it was fairly cheap. Now the prices have gone up and they give you less. Like the side salad used to have lots of avocado now it doesn't have any. Glad its there though since there are not very many good eating options in Marin.
"To a certain degree"... Not so much...

So I, as a Content Creator, have to a) be mindful of, and b) take action to opt out of 1) Pinterest, 2) any other of a potentially large number of sites / applications, purely in order to ensure said sites don't claim commercial rights to and derive income from my work and effort?

Not the way it works, or should work, say I.

It sincerely bothers me that no where no the apple.com site, has Apple referred to his as the iPad 3. The closest thing to a new name that they've given is "The new iPad".

It's funny because many years ago I read comments from people saying, "Yelp cannot last."

Then a few years after that, "It's a fad and it will die."

The a couple years after that, "When people catch on, they'll disappear!"

And, now, on the day that they went public, there are people still harping that Yelp's days are numbered.

Really? Remember they used to say that about Google (and still say they about Facebook).

Yelp is a reality that will _not_ go away. Venues have to adjust to the modern day reality that it's easy for people to share information. As you said, "There's no way to keep people from talking about the things they enjoy."

If Yelp did disappear, it wouldn't be because people "wised" up or because of some court order. But if they did, there are plenty to take its place. Facebook, Foursquare, or any other social media website that supports ratings of venues.
I actually agree with you to a large extent (especially on the iPhone 4s), but a vastly improved resolution + substantially better hardware do constitute a legitimate incremental release.

You can't really expect them to do a full redesign with every product iteration, especially when they've obviously already landed on a local maxima of aesthetics and usability.
This post we're discussing _is_ the popular pressure. And yes, I also wish them good luck because the pendulum is currently far too in the direction against fairness to end-users.
Does DollarShaveClub represent an inflection point for verticalized subscription services now that the UX has been potentially nailed for streamlined checkout? I was super impressed with how fast they got me to sign up, but as usual, I could be an outlier. I have never signed up for a subscription product this fast, though.

A reading list should allow you to progress.
Heroku makes the most sense if you aren't running your app and your database on the same server. It's particularly easy to scale if your app doesn't contain any state in and of itself - just spin up a few copies that point to your database (which you can also scale up with a paid provider like MongoHQ).

For an example, I have a single-server app running on Rackspace with a same-server MongoDB. I pushed the web app to Heroku, now all I need to do is set up a connection to MongoDb (either via MongoHQ at $20-50/mo or with a hand-secured connection back to my existing database) and now I can stop worrying about Nginx and Apache and whatnot. If my load grows I can spin up extra web server instances or increase the resources allocated to my DB server.
I mailed them as soon as I received their notification to check my keys, that any kind of help on how to actually view the fingerprint would be useful. Also I suggested as a bonus, that they detect the OS from the browser and display the appropriate information. I assume, that I wasn't the only one asking for more detailed guidance. Funny enough, four hours later, they did the exact thing and notified me again via E-Mail. What a great response!
I wish I could up vote you 10 times. Your comment is a gem.
Looks like most of the negative comments are from designers which totally makes sense; you're getting paid for coming up with neat little buttons and so on... but on the other hand, why didn't you designers come up with a good (open-source) framework for these things. Teach people, give them rope, enable them... oh, and there are already tools like bootswatch coming up. This is not the end, just the beginning for a sane design for the rest of us (aka the developers).
Impressive game. One small issue I had with it was that when you're holding a direction key and jump (and gravity subsequently inverts), continuing to hold the key will now rocket you off in a different direction. IMO, it's design to have the user keep moving in the same direction until they release the key and then have pressing the key move them in the "correct" direction.
Actually New Zealand throttled speeds are 64kbps or 56kbps ("dial-up speed"). Network speeds are in bits per second, so you get 6-8kBps downloads.
But that's the thing, Bootstrap only covers all of the things that most designers don't want to worry about. Something that programmers sometimes don't understand is the staggering scope of what comprises design these days. Everything from layout to typography to color theory to information design and human factors.... To burden a designer with coming up with reusable CSS conventions or a module system for fancy UI components is unnecessary and cruel!
Why do program files go into the Program Files directory?
Although it could know what you paid for if it tied into your credit card statement with Yodlee and gave you some sort of points or reward system for doing so. Same system as Amazon's reviews and "Amazon Verified Purchase" program.
That's a vary western view of marriage, other cultures have a vary different view of similar concepts. In the US we pay lip service to the idea of separating church and state, but we don't actually do much to separate culture and state which means religion has a back door.
I find that the star rating of places/reviews in Google maps in Android is more reliable. Presumably, it does not suffer from the extortion bias either.
I very much agree they should have added instructions to the page. However when I went through the process there was a prominent note saying that when in doubt, you should reject keys and upload new ones. So the "I dunno. Looks fine?" case seems like it would be a problem only for the careless.
Show HN: Holy shit Lycos still exists
Transactions are not limited to add/retract. There are also things we call data functions, which are arbitrary, user-written, expansion functions that are passed the current value of the db (within the transaction) and any arbitrary args (passed in the call), and that emit a list of adds/retracts and/or other data function calls. This result gets spliced in place of the data function call. This expansion continues until the resulting transaction is only asserts/retracts, then gets applied. With this, increments, CAS and much more are possible.

We are still finalizing the API for installing your own data functions. The :db.fn/retractEntity call in the tutorial is an example of a data function. (retractEntity is built-in).

This call:

[:db.fn/retractEntity entity-id]

must find all the in- and out-bound attributes relating to that entity-id (and does so via a query) and emit retracts for them. You will be able to write data functions of similar power. Sorry for the confusion, more and better docs are coming.
If you don't have a contract or your contract doesn't specifically mention IP you should not tell your employer about what you are doing. But approach your HR and explain the situation that you are thinking of developing an app which is unrelated to the company's lines of business and that you will be doing this entirely for your own education and in your own time using your own computer etc. Put in those terms they should not have a problem with it. Make sure you get it in writing to avoid future misunderstandings / contradictions. Then after a suitable delay, you could release your app.

As other people have pointed out, you could release your app under a different company - but then you have a similar situation of technically working for two employers. Again, that shouldn't be a problem unless there is a potential for conflict of interest.
I like bootstrap because I'm terrible at getting things to align properly on a web page and it basically does it for me.

As a programmer, this is awesome because I can spend the rest of my time on the interesting programming stuff. Really, it appeals to:

1.) My complete lack of understanding of the intricacies of CSS and web page design.

2.) My mindset as an industrious but lazy programmer.

3.) It can be made to be generally portable.

I can see that down the line I might want to replace it with something else or hire a real designer to make me real buttons and web page styles, but it an excellent tool for the rough drafts of different ideas that I have. I can put things 'here' and 'there' on a web page quite easily, and that is really what I want/need.

It is much like a writer throwing down his ideas stream of consciousness style onto a piece of paper. He knows that he will have to edit eventually to make it consumable, but for now, he just needs to get the ideas down on paper while he has them.

Really? The 'different DPI' settings have been in since Vista, and worked pretty pervasively.
So for people as confused about this as I was, there are two similar but distinct contests at CanSecWest right now. Google Chrome is a target in both of them, and it has fallen in both of them.

This tweet refers to Pwn2Own, which is the one sponsored by ZDI, and which VUPEN apparently won (without having to share their exploit). The other, pwnium, is the Google-sponsored contest.
I can see not complaining about recruiters in general, but some are just really awful, e.g. soliciting for positions where the candidate is obviously not suitable, and just wasting everybody's time. When there's no chance that you'd get the position in the first place, they're not doing you any favors.
rhok are fantastic, they have international meet-ups for coding weekends on specific problems. highly recommended if you want to give some time without making a long-term commitment.

Most users don't even read the text you throw up in their faces, let alone notice the differences between different CSS frameworks. I've seen people hit F5 repeatedly in desktop applications and wonder why it wasn't refreshing. I think bootstrap is awesome, and is exactly what web development needs.

ctrl+f "cluster"

Yeah, cluster analysis is a pretty great approach as long as you have enough users to cluster around, so often you have to have a non-social component to start things off for low amounts of users (rec more $$, Chinese, and/or San Mateo options because you liked Joy Luck Place; get more data; then rely more on social once you have data points.)

For things that mine Yelp, it's especially convenient because you can mooch data off of Yelp's social graphing. (Of course, scraping that would totally go against their ToS.)
This is a great resource. But where should we locate our actual application: where should we host to avoid seizure?

Same here. I've read filtered and unfiltered reviews and my conclusion is that Yelp does a good job with its filtering. It's not perfect but does a pretty decent job.

WRT your problem: Have you tried filtering by price ($, $$, $$$)? Perhaps if you did this, you would find good restaurants that aren't just rated highly because they are cheap.

On your last point, I disagree. I used to think that only bad restaurants would need to advertise. But then I ended up going to a restaurant that I saw had advertised heavily in the past on Yelp. I went there because they were in my neighborhood. The restaurant and food were absolutely fantastic (which matched their overall rating). So advertising is good for 1) new restaurants and 2) residents who don't know all the restaurants in their neighborhood.
Both SimCopter and Streets of Sim City allowed you to import SimCity 2000 cities and roam around in them in 3D, which was pretty cool back then :)

I see the issue totally differently, entire styles of art came into existence due to cloning. It is also an essential part of being human, humans clone and refine ideas. I really wish society was designed to reward the original idea people in entirety up front and then their contribution went into public domain. So you make a lot of money for executing the idea up front, but then the entire work is public domain, to me we would be so much further as a society if we did not have to contort human nature around the idea of intellectual property.
Hotel concierges often have more glaring conflicts of interest than Yelp. They are often provided by outside companies that receive kickbacks from various vendors, though they dress like regular hotel staff. See http://online.wsj.com/article/SB115767671822257109.html

Also, the OP said he just moved, so that's probably why he can't just ask friends. Also, even once firmly established in a given region, not everyone has friends in their specific neighborhood, or a given neighborhood they might find themselves in with a rumbling tummy.
