How to promote your website with articles and Links.
Article marketing basically involves writing articles about a particular topic or niche area of your website and submitting them to article directories on the internet with links back to your website in order to create awareness, information and knowledge about the topic, product or service. There are several things that a website owner can benefit from using article marketing as a way of promoting their website. Some of the benefits include traffic generation, link building, website awareness etc. Some of the things to consider critically when promoting your website through article marketing include -:
Target Keywords
Articles that are written for the purpose of article marketing must be optimized for specific keywords that are related to such websites. This makes the articles to appear easily in search queries relating to such keywords. The keywords must be related to the website in order to provide the desired results. It is often advised that new websites that want to rank well in a niche or for a keyword that is competitive should target keywords that are long tailed phrases maybe three to four word phrases.

Good Quality Content Articles
Another critical factor is that articles must have good quality content before they can be approved for publishing. Articles that are poorly written with grammatical errors and inadequate word count may not be approved. Articles that are rich in good quality content not only get approved for publishing; such articles normally attract good traffic to the owner’s website. People are hungry for good information, hence when they see an article with good information they are always likely to click on the web link provided.

Article Directories Rules
Almost all of the article directories currently available on the internet presently have some rules, terms and conditions that people must fulfil before they are allowed to submit articles to such directories. Some of the rules are usually editorial guidelines but sometimes there are a number of other rules beside editorial guidelines that must be fulfilled. Most of the directories usually demand that your articles should not contain more than two self seeking links (i.e. links to your own website or affiliate links), and some do not accept affiliate or any other kind of money generating links in articles submitted to them. The articles must be original and of a particular length in words. There several of such rules, ensure you read the terms of service for such directories before you start submitting articles.

A good directory to start submitting your Articles is http://rids.us
You can also submit your links at their Link Directory http://rids.us/link-directory/

Concerning the workload:
As far as I'm concerned, the academic workload is definitely not all-consuming. From watching my colleagues, I came to the conclusion that everybody chooses their own workload. Some of my coworkers come at 9AM and leave at 4PM; others think they absolutely must finish that experiment and stay until 10PM. Some people think they must immediately rush to the lab if their supervisor sends them an email on Saturday afternoon; others just ignore the email until Monday morning.

I have never heard of anybody getting into trouble for turning their computer off on the weekend, or working normal hours; I think much of the pressure is self-inflicted.

Personally, I currently work in academia (doing my PhD), and I run a profitable business on the side (selling my own software). Sometimes this is a bit stressful (when you have to prepare a talk and keep getting emails from customers because of a nasty bug you introduced in the last release), but most of the time this works out just fine.
It might have been just a novelty affect. Users must have just been curious and clicked on it. The real test is the conversion rate. How many of those that clicked took further action.

I haven't read the spec. or followed the topic in general, but from a quick glance at it: the size of the registers isn't given, and the registers aren't memory-mapped.

Why not use an integer instead of Cell? 42 is memory address 42, -3 is register R, including for SP, PC, etc. Or addresses >= 0x10000 are registers, then you can just have

def ife(self, a, b):
m = self.mem
self.skip = m[a] != m[b]

with Python's native indexing of the mem[] list, which could be an array().
A bunch of cargo cult ideas and otherwise terrible advice. Looks like it was written for PHP4.

There is almost no justification for any of these techniques and they don't come close to PHP best practices.

For example, "1. Do not use relative paths , instead define a ROOT path", what advantage does this provide? Use an autoloader. Furthermore:

define('ROOT' , pathinfo(__FILE__, PATHINFO_DIRNAME));

Is completely redundant. If you move your file, you might as well just keep using your relative path.

I'm going to stop there.. but just about every technique misses the point.
1. My work consumes most of my time and energy - how would one find time to work on side projects and build a portfolio, when the academic workload is so all-consuming

Turn off the TV, close Ph.D. comics stop procrastinating. That's a fairly glib and slightly offensive answer, but it's the best I've got. There are no shortcuts. Getting yourself ready to work in industry will take time and effort.

I can, however, suggest that adopting a more rigid industry-style work schedule can help. In grad school, my time management skills sucked, and I'm pretty sure I wasn't alone in that.

One thing you can sometimes do to speed things up is to take pieces of your research and turn it into side projects. For instance, something I didn't do (but should have) was properly package/test my numpy shared memory library.

2. I felt like I had to apply for industry jobs in my niche, otherwise I would be competing against a much larger pool of general engineers/science graduates.

You overestimate the number of general engineers who are capable of quantitative work. When I said there is value being the guy in the room who understands regression and confidence intervals, I meant it.

The much larger pool of general engineers/scientists is the target audience of blog posts like this one: http://www.zedshaw.com/essays/programmer_stats.html

Do things like Naive Bayes, SVMs and Black Scholes seem straightforward to you? If so, you are a quant. Now you just need to become a developer.
Not a brag--just wanted emphasize how straightforward and fun something like this can be.

>completely and utterly obsolete clause

I heavily disagree that it is a completely and utterly obsolete clause. Events happening around the world right NOW prove this incorrect. I also believe that an armed populace can successfully engage and defeat a government's military. Now, if that government somehow disarmed that populace under the guise of "safety" then you may have a point.

>but rather saving them from unnecessary crime

I see your point but I think you are being a bit naive here. Criminals will always commit crimes, regardless of your stance on the legality of how they go about it. Plus, if owning a weapon is legal one day but then illegal the next due to actions not performed by the person you are disarming, then you are in effect punishing that person to protect them from something that might not even happen.
I have adjusted my hue and saturation accordingly.

So, I, in California, buy something from Amazon, which pays Fedex to ship it from out of state to me. Fedex pays "gas taxes" in CA, and other CA taxes too[1]. If Fedex ships my pkg by air, there are at least additionally airport fees/taxes.

Since Fedex is not going bankrupt, it seems Amazon is at least paying Fedex enough to offset these expenses, so Amazon is in effect, through Fedex, paying these CA taxes (the same ones that in-state B&M stores would be paying for shipping a purchase to me, or that I would be paying if I bought an item at a local B&M store and transported it in my own motor vehicle).

Now, in my understanding, the purpose of these taxes is to pay for the "services" CA is providing to the taxpayer (in this case, Fedex, and, indirectly, Amazon). For a shipper, "services" would include construction and maintenance of (and bureaucratic overhead associated with) the roads, bridges, airports, etc.

But in your opinion Amazon is skating on their responsibility and should in addition charge sales tax to the customer (apparently for additional "services provided by the state" not covered by the above)? What are these additional services Amazon is receiving (in this transaction) from CA that are not being paid for via [[the above-mentioned]] taxes?

What do you mean by "benefit"?

There's a lot of stuff which has very little benefit if you define benefit in certain ways.

With luck the trickle down (people becoming rich from creating these gadgets; concentrations of very smart people in California; etc) could be used not only to explore deep oceans but also to create smart innovative tech for developing world problems.

It'd be great if Google (for example) had a developing world think-tank.

I like the idea too.

I'm not suggesting everyone should know programming, but that at least college graduates have some (semi) serious exposure to CS. After all it's safe to assume that every college grad has had a certain amount of exposures to other sciences (including chemistry! I mean ... really!?)

The alternative is a directory organized and categorized better. You would then need search to find categories faster than clicking through each level. Google killed their directory. Google Directory is no longer available.

I wonder if there are JS minifiers that creates a symbol file so that I can expand stack traces with it, much like compilers do.
If you're in the right areas of computer science, esp. machine learning, the answer seems to be that you have to make active effort to resist leaving academia, but not much active effort to let yourself get hired away. The recruiting at grad schools and even academic conferences from folks like Palantir has gotten pretty aggressive lately! They're particularly good at supplying temptation at that moment when a student's finished everything but writing up the dissertation ("ABD").
Never think of yourself as a simple X dev. While you may not have the same experience or background as someone else, that alone doesn't take away from you being a developer (keeping in mind I don't know your proficiency or length of time as a developer).

That being said, since it's going to be a virtual CPU with what seems to be a system based on 6502 opcodes (or similar), we can assume that this means there will also be an opportunity for abstraction/compilation to that system. Basically, there would most likely be cross compilers available in a matter of time that could aide in the development so you don't have to learn ASM or anything that low level. If you want to learn for the sake of learning, and with a great chance of being able to implement that new knowledge in to this game, then learn C - it will teach you a lot more about lower level development and would be a great candidate for a cross-compiler when one were to come out (ex: http://www.cc65.org/)
completely off topic but you put Mitsuo Iso's name in my internal map of the universe and now an entire span of dark fog is gone.

That sounds pretty nice; I hope you wouldn't have to fuss too much with it to implement video seeking.
As a offset, probably, with appropriate changes. You're probably better off channeling C design here than Python. I'm running on the assumption that while speed may not be your overriding priority, you will want this to run with some speed. I haven't examined the opcodes, but in this case even if I had to distinguish between a number and a register reference I'd probably do something like let numbers be numbers and let register references be one-element tuples containing the register offset, then switch on the type when it came time to try to use them. That is most likely going to be significantly faster than going through the very powerful class/instance machinery on Python, and should you be inclined to play with PyPy it'll probably JIT a heck of a lot better too. (Although I'd also play with having a number with a very high bit set to indicate that it's a register reference, which would probably JIT even better, since there'd be no type check.)

By splitting the difference and playing with PyPy you should be able to use Python to dodge out on a lot of the C bookkeeping BS while potentially not paying very much on the speed penalty. Using a lot of Python constructs could result in a multiple orders of magnitude slowdown for only marginal gain in this case.
We seem to be making one conversation out of 2 points. Point one: The video is nonsense, Point two: Will Glass be successful?

Video: I agree that it should have been anchored to current reality, like the Google Plus and self-driving car videos were. But I don't think the video itself was a bad play. RIM/Blackberry released a future-world video back in October (seems to be unavailable now) that had many far away ideas. Gruber criticized it, of course, but I feel like he was right – because in RIM's budget there was no allocation for these imaginary products. Google is actually creating these devices.

Glass: As for the hokeyness of having an extra band over your face – technology tends to bend to the habits of our lifestyle. This is what makes being an inventor/entrepreneur frustrating – watching others create applications or devices that people just won't rewrite their whole way of life to use. Seeing people passionately build devices you know have no chance – because they ask the user to change their habits – is cringe inducing. So I get why people might get a bit of that feeling from this device, because I feel it too. On the other hand, humans love incentives and if this device ramps up productivity by doing many of the operations shown in the video (albeit, less fluid) it might be a sell. If you can get people to wear a Bluetooth device in their ear all day, this might be a slight extension of that.
ACTA: First EU Parliament Committee Opinion Says “Reject”
Interesting article, thanks. I live in France, where it is forbidden to have alcoholic beverages at work, so I'm a bit surprised reading your description of the situation in the US. Same thing for the events I've attended (Linux Expo, RMLL, XP Days, EuroPython...), where it certainly was possible to get a beer (generally not for free), but no drinking parties were organized (or I was not aware of them). So maybe you should consider moving on the other side of the Atlantic where you could possibly feel more at ease :-)

If we're going to argue hypotheticals, what would have been the outcome if the lone nut had decided to drop some highly potent poison in to the local water supply?

Also, to point out one common thread with your examples of mass shootings, they took place in areas where it is illegal to have a weapon in your possession. Maybe not the Giffords example since I don't know the local laws about possessing a firearm in the presence of an elected official. But the key is they tend to target an area where they know people are not allowed to possess a firearm for defense, by law.

If you are not accepted you get an email saying something like [1]:

We're sorry to say we couldn't accept your proposal for funding. Please don't take it personally, because most of the proposals we rejected, we rejected for reasons having nothing to do with the quality of the applicants. For example, we were very reluctant to accept proposals with only one founder, because we think starting a startup is too much work for one person. We also had a higher threshold for applicants who were still in school, groups where one or more members planned to keep their current jobs, and groups that couldn't all move to California. We rejected a lot of proposals simply because we couldn't understand them, or didn't understand the problem domain well enough to judge them, or because the project seemed too big to start on only three months of funding. Sometimes we even rejected good ideas, because another group proposed the same idea and seemed further along.

We realize this process is fraught with error. It's practically certain that groups we rejected will go on to create successful startups. If you do, we'd appreciate it if you'd send us an email telling us about it; we want to learn from our mistakes.

Thanks,

It's your job to apply for positions, and their job to filter the applicants. Don't think you have to do their job for them.

Sure, you can use dpkg to orchestrate connections between services on the same machine, but last I checked dpkg isn't aware of other machines running other services and orchestrating the connections between those. Service orchestration between machines is something Juju excels at. It's really server and service orchestration abstracted so that you don't have to worry about what machine is where and connected to who. Juju maintains those relations for you, so it's really more like apt for the cloud.
Aren't JIT compilers technically pretty infeasible on iOS anyway because of security restrictions?
I did something similar on our site a couple years ago. One nice thing about tying it into Google Analytics is you can analyze the effect of each type of error on your conversion rate, which helps prioritize your fixes.
Subtle. I'm sure that many Chinese Internet users are saying: "thank you for shutting off access to this website I want to access, and providing me with this useful and interesting information, in a totally non-patronizing way".
That "retirement, mortgage and rainy day fund" could very reasonably be more than $1M. Especially as the $1M figure here includes your home, which isn't something you can extract an income stream from without grave risk.

(Back of envelope: Suppose you reckon you can safely spend 5% of your initial retirement fund per year, without running out before you die. And suppose you want $50k for medical emergencies, because you're in the USA and aren't sure Medicare will (1) still exist and (2) cover everything. And suppose you want $30k/year of effective income after retirement, which doesn't seem insane. Then you need $650k in that fund. Note that that 5%/year figure depends on the overall growth of the economy and how long you expect to live after retirement.)

Yes, saving a lot of money can just be pointless avarice. But I think the level at which that becomes a reasonable suspicion is rather higher than "total assets of $1M".
A quick answer isn't research anyways. It's like going to a wikipedia page and blaming it for giving the superficial amount of knowledge you needed in the first place. Do we stop there? No, we employ further systematic investigation.

Don't wear em if you know where you're going. I don't think anybody uses Google Maps to get to their own house or anything they're familiar with. I only watched the video without sound but my guess is the use case is to help you interact and get things done when you have no starting point or fishing for something unfamiliar.

Nice, article! Thanks for sharing your 'Bucket' strategy. Have been giving thoughts to how frequently I want to stay in touch with people.
At least back in the 1990's, French employers used all sorts of pseudo-scientific methods to screen employees. My sister applied to one school that asked for a birth date so they could consult an astrologer about the applicant's temperament. The most common screening method was graphology, though. There were thousands of graphologists who would analyze a handwriting sample to determine the applicant's character. It's all complete foolishness, but most employers in France still use it.
"You overestimate the number of general engineers who are capable of quantitative work. When I said there is value being the guy in the room who understands regression and confidence intervals, I meant it."

I'd just like to second that. If you've learned enough math to be an expert in a scientific niche, you're almost certainly miles ahead of most developers you'll work with.
I was trying to be somewhat polite, but... GPUs aren't magic speed juice. You know those big speed gains that get GPU advocates so pumped up? CPUs have the exact same massive speed advantages over GPUs too! That is, when have a task that the CPU is designed for and the GPU doesn't, CPUs kick GPU's ass.

There's no point in trying to jump through hoops to convince the GPU to be something it isn't. It isn't going to be faster than a CPU, or rather, a lot of CPUs.

Being 5 or 10MHz is irrelevant. Being able to simulate them faster means you need fewer servers to do it. (You can tell who actually works on clouds and who doesn't by the attitude towards performance; people who don't actually work on clouds think performance matters less in the cloud....)
