What to (or not to) put on a personal website?
I want to make a personal website for myself that would potentially have a blog, resume, projects, etc on it and I was wondering what is a good idea to put on the site and what isn't such a good idea?

Others have told me not to put my resume up because it won't really be useful at all. I also have concerns with what an employer might think when he/she looks at the blog and whether its a good idea to mix the two?

Advice on this issue in general is appreciated!

Keep in mind I'm a sophomore in College studying CS. I was hoping a project like making a personal website would be cool and look good also.

You're missing the point, I'm buying the suit to support the designer / tailor, the creator NOT the mass manufacturer. Like you I'm supporting the creative endevour of an individual or group.

In this sense it's a far better reason for a suit than for a band t-shirt. A suit is the primary output of a tailor, a band t-shirt is a commercial by-product of a band. There are better ways to support a band than buying a t-shirt - buying their records or seeing them live for instance. There is no better way to support a tailor.

As for the circular reasoning on its dirty - I agree but it's the same for both suit and band t-shirt. You have to have a reason to own it which I've given you.
This is an apples-to-oranges comparison between use tax collection in Q1/Q2 vs. Q3/Q4 with anecdotes about companies that weren't even paying use tax before leaving the state. Put short, all of the arguments people are making here or are being made in the article need to look at whether the actual "tax revenues" (which the title erroneosly claims to be looking at) dropped due to /income tax/ changes from companies leaving the state and it needs to take into account that different parts of the year are going to have drastically different behaviors.

This is especially true given that use tax is almost entirely, without this law, paid by end users as part of income tax collection, and so trying to break revenues down by month is inane: not everyone bothers filing estimated payments, especially if they are part of a payroll system that does withholding for them. They are going to report use tax once during the year, and it is going to be in April.

How to take a screenshot in Windows Phone 7 Mango?
First of all: You should do what you feel comfortable doing. If you are not comfortable, it will show in an unconscious way and will taint the over all experience, when someone visits the site (potential employer).

Then: You should show yourself as much, as you are. Why that? Well it might (depending, the way you are), make some potential future employers decide, that you are not, what they are looking for. Well, too bad, but would you want to work there anyway? Somewhere, where you don't fit? Where the culture is maybe not that tolerant?

I, for an example, decided some time ago, that these kind of rejections were a good thing. Because it saves my time evaluating a potential employer. As well, as it saves time for the employer, finding a good match for them.

So my tip is, put on the site everything, you are comfortable with. Even old stuff (code, i.e). Show your way, show who you are, what you have learned, show problems, that you have/had and how you tackle them. show the why behind the things you share with the world.

Be yourself, as much, as this is possible. Add value above just an cv or a resume. Make it easy, to "get to know you better" as a person.
Introduction to Technology for Good: A Historical Perspective From GE
And how would you compare the work in the factories to being a Chinese farm worker, for example? Why are millions choosing factories over farms?

I hear this argument a lot, and I consider it BS. What their original work was has no bearing on whether the conditions in the factories are good or bad. It just tells us that they are better than the alternative.

Working as a human slave in 16 hours shifts for money barely enough to make it day-to-day is still preferable than dying of hunger in a chinese village because of lack of resources. That doesn't mean that it is good in itself, or that it should not change.

Doubly so if the chinese farms and village economies are broken down by pollution, regulations and measures taken to ensure the farm population is driven to work in factories.

You know, like the Stalin-era forced industrialization of USSR (which is not unknown in the West too: that's how most workers where forced to leave previously livable farm work and seek work in industry, starting from the 18th century Manchester (UK) case to the colonies. In most cases it was not a contemplated choice of what is most beneficial to the individual, but a forced decision).

My impression is that you should not just a dire or unfair condition based on the existence of an even more dire or unfair condition.

If there is a famine in an area, and people are dying, is it OK to offer them food and water in exchange for slave labour? No pay, just food and water, and everybody that doesn't like can go and die of hunger. How does this deal sound?

A forced choice is not much of a choice.

Unfortunately Gists aren't very viewable on a mobile (certainly on an iPhone) as they're truncated and there's no way to scroll to the right. A number of times I've been disappointed to find articles (The Zen of R that's on the front page at the moment, for example) that I can't read. There's a button to view in raw but it's a bit of a shame that I can't view the content with highlighting and proper (non)wrapping.

"

I am reminded of a quote from the preface of a book that was eventually CC'd and distributed as a PDF because it was too niche to publish.

"Our decision to publish on the internet came from a long and tedious course of attempting to work with both university and commercial academic publishers who failed to publish it. Bringing this manuscript to publication was an epic adventure in itself, so we decided to share our experience here, along with some commentary on academic publishing today and its inevitable demise." - "Pioneers of Soviet Computing" (http://www.sigcis.org/?q=node/85)

While I haven't personally been involved in any academic publishing. It doesn't exactly inspire confidence that they've had to push so hard against open-access journals. The "No open-access publishing" clauses a lot of the major clearing houses tried sneaking into their agreements with researchers is a sign of weakness, no matter how successful. (And you could argue that it backfired spectacularly.)

So no, I don't think you're being unreasonable not to expect the things you don't expect from academic publishing. From an outsiders perspective the bullets you listed appear to be accurate.

Sorry, I don't have time to make this short.

There are 2 ways:

1. Talk to individuals who you expect to be your users.

Ask them how they currently do what your idea makes easier to do. Try to find out if they have any problems with it, but don't push too hard. Just listen. If they seem at all receptive, tell them about your idea. Then pay attention to everything they talk about (good or bad). If they don't seem interested at all, move on. Find the next person to talk to. Your aim at this stage is to find people who do think your idea has some value. The uninterested ones provide data to act on in case you don't find anyone interested in your idea at all.

If you can find even 1 or 2 people who love your idea and really get excited about some feature, then build that as quickly as you can and get them to use it.

2. Just build whatever little thing is useful to you immediately. It's ok if it's ugly and incomplete. It should just give you more of at least one of the following: time, money, fun, happiness.

Then show it to other people who you think might like it. Most reactions on design you can safely ignore. People have a natural tendency to talk about how things look because it's what they see first and feel obliged to say something. It happens on HN all the time.

What you want to look for is things people really love or hate about what the thing does. Also look at the data on what people are actually doing with your product. They often say one thing, and do something completely different. So pay attention to actual behaviour.

Out of all of this, you might notice one or two things really stand out. When they do, zoom in and focus on them to an extent that will seem ridiculous. It should make people say things like "This is just a feature, not a product". Then you know you're really onto something.

The more interesting and novel your idea, you are better off going with route 2. The new conventional wisdom (of Lean) suggests you should mostly always go with 1. But if you look at the landscape, the best ideas come from 2. The chance of failing may also be higher with 2, but that's where the artist in you comes out and pushes the boundaries.

Talking to people about your idea too early may kill the spark of magic that brought it to life. Make it real asap.

The guy that sells pixels made 1M+ with http://milliondollarhomepage.com/

Basically he sells 1M "pixels" for $1 each to show advertisings. The pixels you buy have an expiration date so he probably sold more than 1M px. I read somewhere that it works pretty well and brings lots of users to advertisers, probably because of the press and the momentum generated around the service.
At least we have something in common with these guys.

"Jerry and David's Guide to the World Wide Web" (quickly renamed Yahoo) was the first commercial project of its grad-student co-founders, and was pretty big within the first year (big enough for Ziff-Davis to launch a companion Yahoo print magazine). IPO'd about two years after launch. Mostly good timing imo; they caught the internet wave with a decently organized web directory.

I have two out of necessity. One for my Canadian iTunes account, the other for my American. I no longer use my Canadian one as I live in the us now. However, if I want to update apps purchased from my Canadian account, I have to switch. This is painful. Switching means settings like match get switched off and aren't turned back on when I move back over. It means syncing gets disabled. It means if I switch before other downloads are finished, apps are stuck in a half state of downloading but having stopped. I have to delete them and download the again. The app store icon will of course show me how many apps need updating across all my accounts. However, I can't use the update all button because I'll be asked to log in with the right account. As mentioned before logging in to another account while apps in the previous account are downloading will usually cause problems. Logging in is painful as well. After logging in with a new account, it doesn't just log you in. No. It tells you your apps is associated with a different store, despite being on the update page, and whisks you off to some other location, which then needs to load before becoming responsive again before you can go back to the update page again. There, you staart the whole thing over again.

You may want to reread the article. One of his main points is how his custom algorithm accesses the dataset sequentially and thereby massively outperforms bloom filters which need random access.
Patterns I've noticed (wrt monetary success):

It usually takes decades which is why old guys are richer.

You can do it as an exec-employee or founder.

Contentment, comfort, routine, closed mindedness, dogma, not questioning the status quo every day, following established patterns of entrepreneurship because "that's how it's done", these are all your enemies.

Greedy and selfish people seem to do better in business. [Yeah, it's not a feel-good statement, but go out there and count the beans.]

Iterating in cycles less than 2 years with a new company every time is a sure fire recipe for not succeeding outside the Valley. Inside the Valley, you'll probably eventually get your talent acquisition money from Google. You simply don't have time to learn the market, your customers and to surround the business with people who trust it.

It takes time for you to empathize with your customer. In other words, to understand why the hell they'd give you money for your product or service.

As a founder, not fighting tooth and nail to keep as much control of your business as you possibly can is usually a leading indicator of failure. Not saying you must keep control, but there's a level of passivity I've noticed in this that usually indicates an entrepreneur who doesn't have their heart in their business.

Of course overnight success is bull. But the lottery ticket perception outsiders have of tech entrepreneurship is actually good for attracting investors and new blood, some of whom actually become real entrepreneurs. So the myth of overnight success does have it's uses.

Many people didn't really have a choice. MobileMe Accounts (@me.com email addresses) were automatically set up as a new Apple ID - even if the user already had an existing Apple ID for the iTunes Store.

When iCloud was introduced, anyone who wanted to keep their old @me.com email address, also had to keep the second Apple ID.
Implications....

Lets assume that malicious page A, can figure out what extensions a user is running.

They figure out that some user has extensions, A, B, C and D.

Extension D is actually an email client extension which is terribly coded. The victim uses the very same email provider for all of his mail. The malicious website figures out that he can safely send POSTs to the mail provider through this extension that will alter the victims mails filter.

So the malicious website tells it to forward all email received to `foobar@email.com`.
Additionally, any email from @super-bank.com should be deleted. And any emails from @godaddy.com should also be deleted after it gets forwarded to the malicious user.

Now, the malicious user requests new passwords on Godaddy for example and receives the passwords then he transfers all of his domains out. Win for the malicious website.

That's an interesting point. In fact, the expectation of the random walk is always the same as its starting value, because, although most of the walks go to 0 like you observed, there are very occasionally walks that drift upward to astronomical values.

As for the usefulness of this kind of walk: the process we're modelling is an evolutionary one, where the rate of change is fixed (in this case within the species) and we'd like to detect 'random' (non-selected) evolutionary paths by comparing simulations to historical data.
