Hell yes. I don't know about anybody else, but I upvote all sorts of stuff that I wouldn't necessarily upvote if there was a separate "save" feature. I'm an obsessive collector of links, so if I see a title that sounds even vaguely interesting and I'm in too big a hurry to read it right then, it gets an "upvote" because I'm really just saving it.
Could A startup use this ad serving mechanism to also calculate and sell/publish the speed, uptime, etc of each hotel wifi network? Many won't care, but personally, I would like to see those figures next to advertised hotel wifi.
Well-made logo and landing page but I doubt that the idea will work at all. There might be some correlation of let's call it "social media activity" and skill. So, somebody who blogs a lot technical stuff, tweets about it and contributes to open projects on Github often is surely somebody to look at—but that's just it. Social media activity is a nice to have and btw can be checked with a few clicks, why do I need a dedicated app for that? There's so much noise in social channels and generally you find many people there who look rather for attention than real long-sighted achievements and it's hard to recognize the real gems in that noise.

There are many using social channels very rarely or in read-only mode. They don't because they just don't have time to tweet or their project is just confidential to be public on Github. Rather they work 12 months non-stop and quietly on a project and at the end of this period they raise with their work 2 million or got millions of user or whatever. And THAT are the relevant achievements and signals a recruiter has to identify—real achievements and no social streams full of "buzzword spam and unverified claims" (using your own words).
My experience with the marketplace submission process has been quite different. I have gone through it at least 4 times, and never had any problem.

"Apple also announced that the entire top surface of the iPhone, including the 3.5-inch screen, has been upgraded from plastic to optical-quality glass for better scratch resistance and visual clarity."
I don't think it's an accident. It's the way they talk about what they're doing. Partly because they don't want to be seen as VCs or an Incubator.

The assumption that migrating the entire www stack to something like C++ would help with the datacenter costs is not supported by reality. Please remember that the bits that are in PHP are mostly front-end code. This handles the presentation of the data, but the actual heavy-lifting and data manipulation is done by the back-end infrastructure which is mostly C/C++ with some Java thrown in for the hadoop bits.
I understand _why_ they did it. But it's still wrong.

The best option would be for them to put in the quarterly numbers for all years, then all bars would represent an equal amount of time.
Almost — C# has a cool feature whereby you can do pointer arithmetic if you pin the objects in question first, so the GC won't collect or move them. (The language statically enforces this by forbidding you from taking the address of a value until you pin it.)
My biggest gripe with eBay is when I try to buy second hand or non-OEM parts for my motorbike. Typically there will be a standard image and a description of the part or specifications which is good but what I would really like, or rather, what I need are high resolution images of the part in question. I want to be able to see how it looks and determine whether the shape will fit or if it has the pins or correct sockets that I need.

A uniform rule for including large / High-res images would really help me.

I have a Windows Phone. The Facebook app (disclaimer: I'm an employee) is quite nice despite missing some features I want. It is representative of the Metro "design language". In everyday use it doesn't feel like wasted space. It's hard to describe without using but the layout uses lots of vertical scrolling and the space to the left and right is usually a continuation of the current screent that shows related data (in the case of the Facebook app you swipe from newsfeed to a list of your photos then messages). This is very different to the static screens popular on iOS, and feels really nice to interact with.

The problem Microsoft faces is that the unique design of Metro excludes the possibility of a port of existing mobile apps. Apps need to be designed from scratch using native code - embedded web views won't cut it - which is expensive to do.
I love how Instagram is presented as a big hole in their app catalog when Android got it like 3 days ago.

"Ms. Murphy declined to say whether Microsoft had paid for the app’s development. "

I guess we know what that means.
I was wondering the same thing.

Recently, a coworker and myself were debating the use of tabs vs. spaces - and while I know this is a battle that has been going on for a while and won't end any time soon - one of my points against spaces was due to readability. 2 space soft-tabs seems much harder to follow - while using hard tabs for indentation, you are able to adjust your editor to visually work out what suits you best (2 spaces, 4 spaces or even 8 spaces).

This is spot on for how the hotels operate. Everything is a cost on top of already slim margins and if it doesn't contribute to an extra dollar in the till, they won't pay for it. I used to work for a company that internet access at a large number of hospitality locations (never did ad injection, but we talked about the possibility regularly) and the typical billing model was for us to get a percentage of the cost to purchase access, or charge the location more to provide free access. The normal model was that the brand owner would sign a deal that x% of the franchise operators would use our service and then the operators would fight tooth and nail to keep it from going into place. We did full PMS integration, 1-800 support lines, were a top provider and operators would still fight it on the basis that they thought that the fact it wasn't free would impact their people staying there, but were unwilling to pay extra for it to be free. The plus-side is that we worked extraordinarily hard to make sure that once service was provided (after clicking through the terms of use or paying) that no traffic was discriminated and what the each user received was the best that could be provided and was just as secure as any random computer on the internet. Use of subnetting, vlans and disallowing communication between switchports was common, though nothing can be done to protect against someone connecting to the same wireless network because it's impossible because even if encrypted, the keys would need to be publicly available (negating the protection of the encryption) and not nearly enough devices support 802.11x or client certificate authentication.

I sometimes reminisce about the things we did, but even if you refuse to race to the bottom, you get dragged down by a Linksys router and consumer grade internet connection even if the experiences for guests is markedly lower. I'm much happier to now be working in and industry where our customers, and our customers' customers, value the work that is done and pay accordingly.

Windows 8 for ARM will lack the classics desktop and also run WP7 apps. In appearance it looks very similar to the phone OS.

It makes sense that it will be the next step for their mobile platform. I don't see how this makes WP7 a dead end. Even the naming indicates that the core Windows product and mobile version are related and intended to evolve together.

In summary US manufacturing output is increasing and US manufacturing output exceeds that of China by about $100B, but only employs about a tenth as many workers as China.

Didn't read the article, but do they count companies like Apple and Boeing as "US-based manufacturers?" Of course they are, in the sense that they are US-based corporations who manufacture and sell $X worth of goods per year... but crediting the US with their "manufacturing output" would be nothing more than brazen statistical dishonesty.

Also, if "manufacturing" is defined as the "act of final assembly," as it is under certain Commerce Department regulations and those of other government agencies, would Apple be able to meet that criterion by setting up a factory in California that did nothing but bolt together imported PC boards, cases, bezels, and LCD panels?

It is far from clear that the US really manufactures much of anything anymore, the way the term would have been defined in the post-WWII era. I've heard people only half-jokingly refer to McDonalds as a "manufacturer" of burgers.
No from one bar to the next for the previous years, the gap is 1 year (ie, Q4 2010, Q4 2011 -> 1 year), but from the second last bar to the last bar, the gap is 1 quarter (Q4 2011, Q1 2012 -> 1 quarter)
I haven't mentioned downvotes to date, but the down votes on this is puzzling. Would the down voters care to comment as to why the comment is deemed down vote worthy? (I would think those who work/grok on memory managers do get the point.)
It is to find naive people who are prone to flattery and manipulation. The reason people want to hire people who respond to "rock star" is that they want to manipulate that person into accepting well below average pay and far above average hours. In reality it enrages developers who see right through the patronizing attitude.
If your country of citizenship is eligible for the Visa Waiver Program [1] you just need to fill a form [2] online, declaring you're not a terrorist, drug dealer, child abuser/abductor, etc. [3]

It is probably a good idea to get some health insurance for your whole stay, unless your country has some kind of arrangement with the U.S. to this effect (and I don't know if any country does). You can get insurance from your travel agency or separately online. Check the terms of your home insurance or credit card, if any. Some include some sort of travel insurance.

Ah, thanks. I forgot about that.
This seems to make a lot of sense to me. It appears that in every situation starts off with a passenger randomly selecting a seat, summarized as either sitting in (a) seat 100 [Fail], (b) seat 1 [Success] or (c) some other seat [?]. Options (a) and (b) always have equal likelihoods while option (c) simply forces a later passenger to go through the same random process.
When I switched from iOS my first thought was "there's so much chrome." Useless borders, shadows, textures and gloss abound. Generally the phones are similar in capabilities but I think the overly complicate iOS design makes people assume it's a more advanced product.
Agreed but I have found customers with TLS_DH_anon_WITH_RC4_128_MD5 enabled for example. =(

It's much more likely for a vulnerability with WP code than with cipher but I just wanted to point out the importance of properly setting ciphers. Besides with AES-NI avail, it's much less CPU intensive so another win.

Quadratic Programming in C#
What is a "female-oriented" area of study, and what kinds of projects will "naturally be female-led"?
There's a free student plan or something for Github that you can have private repositories. Or, bitbucket.

Posting code is varies highly by teaching. I think most of my professors would have considered it outright cheating. Their interpretation of the collaboration policies was that unless it was a group assignment, you could help each other debug but you couldn't outright copy the code. Who knows who really followed that, but so long as it's in the gray area they can report you for academic misconduct. Even if it was fine for the current semester, some professors reuse homework problems. Clear it with them first.
People like the OP make many mistakes when dealing with people.

They believe by using some kind of systems, techniques and tricks they can find "best talents" and avoid "miserable candidates".

But the real problem lies somewhere else: People have the wrong expectation of people—expectations are always too high and aim for perfection. You can expect perfection from systems, programs, products, services but not from people and thus, you should treat them like this. Of course real talents often deliver this expected perfection but they are rare and usually if you got one it was a lucky hit.
I think you can only say that this is a visualization of how things are in Crunchbase, not "the startup world" in general. It's ranking things based on the number of connections each thing has. For angel investors this may be a good indicator, but not necessarily for companies or VC firms.
The Parallel Evolution of OS/2 and Free Software
That ciphersuite has no viable attacks. Many sites switched to RC4 recently to deal with browser susceptibility to CBC repeated-IV problems.
The regulatory situation I described only applies when some serious problem exists that will cause harm to others, but no existing law makes people liable for causing that harm, and no other financial incentive exists to self-regulate (e.g. the target market doesn't actually care about the problem in question). In such cases, regulation might make sense; I suggested that such regulation should just address the harm caused rather than the details of what (at the time of regulation) seem like the "right" steps to prevent that harm.

In the case of the ESRB and the CCA, self-regulation serves primarily as a marketing tool, with varying degrees of success; a strong financial incentive already exists to self-regulate. The ESRB works reasonably well because it helps the gaming industry target a broad age range and have everyone get what they want and expect. The Comics Code and similar systems worked badly because they attempted to censor rather than just label, and because they didn't do a good job of keeping up with what target audiences wanted; CCA failed because it no longer provided value to anyone.

Similarly, the automobile industry introduces a huge number of safety features because their target market cares deeply about safety; most such features don't come from regulatory requirements, and even the mandated features would continue to exist in the absence of regulation, because people demand them. Advertising for vehicles often touts independent safety ratings as primary selling points.

So, self-regulation works out very well when the target market wants it as a feature. It doesn't work well by itself when it provides no value to the target market.
Taskset is fine for the process pinning. Don't forget about hyperthreading, you want to try to keep each thread on each hardware thread. IRQ pinning, see an example script I have:

This will set queues 0-7 to specific smp affinity slots.
So, because your processor can only fit 512 instructions, and because it's a RISC processor, it's feasible to either write your own compiler, use colorforth, write it in straight assembly, or some combination thereof. Compilers are pretty bad at generating succinct code, and OK at generating fast code, and a RISC processor might just fit inside your head.

So, I really see two applications for this product: first, to create a supercomputer for fixed-point uses (maybe crypto) with 1 "petaFLOP" (I know, we're not actually talking floating-point multiplications here) for a fraction of the price and much greater energy efficiency. It'd be a world-class supercomputer for $200,000.

The other application would be to embed it in mobile devices to take advantage of its energy efficiency.
I was in batch[0] and have spent a lot of time with the people who run this group. I think they're wonderful.

Want to hustle? This is a great list to go through and familiarize yourself with these people, what they make, what they need, how you can help them, what you might ask them for if they ever offered to help you, etc. Great way to visualize Crunchbase, which is a great resource.

Perhaps the better word, instead of 'impartial', would be 'disinterested'.
All updates are one-click and it tells you when updates are available. I don't see a problem with expecting people to keep their software up-to-date. I don't know of any software that is secure forever without ever worrying about updates.
Unfortunately most of it isn't dated. But yes it'd probably help.
"Am I missing something fundamental?"

Price and scale covered already.

Also important:

Demand:

Yes parents give their kids ipod touches not iphones. But that's still a fraction of the phone market. Moreover younger and younger kids get actual phones every year so that is going away to some extent.

Ecosystem:

As a game based machine, your AAA gaming app library is even more of an issue. Basically every gaming website is going to tell every kid that an iPod Touch has 10 times as many games. The kids that wake up xmas morning with an W8 Gamester are going to feel like the kids who got Go-Bots instead of Transformers. Younger people feel free to substitute Digimon and Pokemon.

Distribution:

The carriers solve this problem for phones (even 70% of iphones are sold by carriers) but they aren't interested in selling devices that don't come with a cell radio.

This is the same problem Android tablets have unless they have their own major distribution channel (which is why only Amazon and to a lesser extent B&N have been the most successful in this space).

I'd like to introduce VYBEING 
I’d like to introduce Vybeing. It has a very specific goal: to organize people around similar thoughts and broadcast their message to a vast amount of people, in real time. I seek to bring the power of advertising to the common man, and make it very simple. Finally, Vybeing is something I worked on in my off time (I’m currently working as a developer, and also working on a search product). I spent late nights crafting it for about a month straight. I treat it like a musician treats an album, I was inspired in that slice of time and tried to mold that inspiration into a cohesive product. It’s not perfect, but I consider it evidence as to what you can get done, if you sit down and do it.
Hopefully you'll also get some feedback on the content, not just the presentation :)

Although the exponential growth is amazing to think about, so the graph is pretty important.
I use Hipmunk for every flight to find the best day, time and route. But I never buy thru them.

They are simply too expensive. It is always cheaper to purchase thru another portal and that is unfortunate because their tool is hands down the best...
A good coding guideline should emphasize the importance of "consistency", so if you tell me that..

"..my advice is to insert them (semicolons) immediately before the opening parenthesis or square bracket in any statement that begins with one of those tokens, or any which begins with one of the arithmetic operator tokens /, +, or - if you should happen to write such a statement..." (http://mislav.uniqpath.com/2010/05/semicolons/)

Then I would say it is really not a good idea.

"The Porsche 911 proved both an immediate and enduring hit, and the company has never replaced it, instead allowing the car to evolve over almost half a century."

Not quite. That was true till 1998, but the present 911 is just a similar-looking car with the same name, like the new Beetle, the new Mini, and the new Fiat 500.

TWITTER’S NEW PR CHIEF Never USED TWITTER
I swear; This paragraph from the article reads like something out of "The Onion"

"Ben Huh, chief executive of the Cheezburger Network, a collection of humor and entertainment sites, said Microsoft’s market share was too small to warrant in-house development of a Windows Phone app. But when Microsoft approached his company about making an application featuring funny photos of cats, he agreed. “They made it very easy for us,” he said. “They took care of everything.”"
Thanks James - I remember reading that comment three months ago and being encouraged by it to apply, and it's been a stupendous experience so far.

I was one of the lonely programmers Nick describes in the post - it's been fantastic to spend so much time with so many people I now hold in such high esteem.
