It strikes me that the problem was in this case an interchange of mental model. Tabs on top implies that the location bar belongs to this tab. People were balking because they had mentally yoked it to the browser as a whole, "this is the part of the browser which tells you where you are," and now it was a part of the tab which mentioned where the tab is presently pointing.

I think that's important to remember. The UI designer is always trying to give you a mental model for how their device works, and how the parts are causally connected. The "designer arrogance" is much more understandable when it applies to people who are merely upset that their mental model is changing. That is not the case with the facelift choices of changing text labels into icons, or removing borders and highlights. Those cannot be a valid occasion for this sort of arrogance.

Interesting. You get about 7,830 results for First World War there.

Some of these may be spurious - "Psychology of the Great War: The First World War and Its Origins" (new material this edition (C) 1999" - is that the original title?

By contrast, you get About 532,000 result for "great war" which is what I thought it was referred to before there was a need to number the great wars.

Why would I move the cursor to an area in which there are no visible controls?

Thanks for your response, but this is shitty UI. Is the user supposed to sweep the entire screen, pixel by pixel, looking for Easter eggs?

The Racket (http://racket-lang.org/) dialect of Scheme also provides different levels of a programming language with features of increasing complexity, for educational purposes. In the current version, there are five levels to be used while working through _How To Design Programs_ (http://www.htdp.org/). This book is geared toward adults, but Scheme/Racket is also a great language for teaching children (http://www.bootstrapworld.org/). Perhaps this can provide some inspiration for your project.
This is premature optimization. Do you think it's expensive to write a few brackets, quotes and escape a few characters? We have harder problems to think about than optimizing for writes in our logging system :-)

How can you trade write/read without some structure in the log message? And do you know that sprintf actually costs something too? It's basically a mini-language which must be parsed and interpreted. You can go google sprintf+performance to see stories of people finding this out - but most of the time it doesn't matter, because the cost is insignificant and you can do what's most convenient for you.
Congratulations on launching - I've been in a similar position with getting a HN spike and hitting email caps, but that's why I love Heroku (and SendGrid) for easily scaling things up, especially when I didn't really know what I was doing.

Do you guys have anything in place to alert you if you get another spike in traffic? If not, I'd recommend using Chartbeat and setting up alerts so that it emails/notifies your phone when you get a flood of traffic - you might find that press mentions pop up here and there and knowing about them straight away can help you fan the flames a bit. It's also pretty useful for when your site goes down as it instantly alerts you. Well done again - great job with launching.
You can be yourself after you've spent 3 to 5 minutes getting through these questions qualifying yourself as somebody worthwhile getting to know better. Investors are busy people with thousands of proposals crossing their paths every year - they need a quick way to disqualify the proposals that haven't been thought through properly.
Thanks for the chat-box info.

This is more bad (Easter-egg) UI: There's no visible control next to "chat" (or any of the other labels) until you've already rolled the cursor over it. Why would the user roll the cursor over there, if there are no visible controls?

It's incredible that we're LOSING common UI sense at such a rate.
How do you even log as JSON?

Is your entire log file a giant JSON array? That would be challenging for most parsers I know because they would have to read the entire array into memory first.

Or do you log one JSON object per line? Then you would get problems as soon as you have line breaks inside strings and still have to parse until the object ends in some other line. Also, JSON objects do not have to be single-line to be valid, so you would in fact be working with some self-defined subset of JSON.
Right - none of these questions are difficult to answer quickly and concisely or to prepare for - if you have a valid business model. Applying for investment without a business model you understand through and through is like applying for a job without a resume.
Some of the books seem to have had (some of) their notation modernised, e.g. in Hardy's A Course in Pure Mathematics, epsilon & delta are the "right" way around in the definition of limits.

It is a nice touch how originally there are 6 zerglings coming out and others came in pair.

For anyone who never played Starcraft: zerglings are created in pair, two per egg and the maximum number of eggs are 3. A player who attempts to do a zergling rush wait for the first 3 eggs to be available, hatch them and subsequently make a new pair of zerglings as soon as a new egg is available.
Tusulog complements email and more but we honestly don't think email can replaced completely. It's a simple product that sends and receives messages between people. What it does:

First it turns the basic idea of email upside down that's anybody can send mail to anybody's inbox. With Tusulog messages from people you don't know goes to Public Pipe and also you can disable it altogether. BTW, your friends can send to your inbox directly.

Second with email you apply the filter after getting the message. With Tusulog you apply the filter (pipe) before. PG, taking your example literally: You create a TODO Pipe with public_key THEPUBLICKEYOFPGSTODOPIPE. You give this public_key to people you want. They can send message to that pipe in other words they can put a task into your ToDo list. They can do it using Tusulog UI or Tusulog API.

It is in the faq: http://meteor.com/faq/can-meteor-serve-static-html

Can Meteor serve static HTML? Does Meteor work with JavaScript disabled on the client? Can Meteor sites be indexed by Google?

Meteor has been carefully designed to support this important use case, but it's not in the current Meteor builds. It will be part of our upcoming Routing release, which will make it easy to build Meteor sites that are aware of the current URL.

Briefly, the way server-side rendering works is that the Meteor app is started on the server and allowed to render the page. Then the session state is serialized (using the same migration technology behind Hot Code Push) and the app is frozen and pushed down to the browser, where it can optionally be restarted if the browser supports JavaScript. Since Meteor templating is based on HTML strings, not DOM manipulation, it's not necessary to run a DOM emulation package on the server.
Maybe I'm unusual in that I have a limited number of things I'm willing to get outraged about in a given 6 month period before I start to question the people trying to stir me up. I'm under the impression that that's not terribly unusual, but I guess the popularity of Fox News is a pretty solid counterpoint.
I'm a sucker for clean layouts with a lot of whitespace, gradient-free themes and monochrome icons, but here there's just too much space wasted, especially with the bars in the upper part. That's my only real gripe with this Gmail and Reader redesign.
The 4th amendment encompasses: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects..."

The literal text applies to your house and your person. You can make certain analogies from there, but even paper mail is a bit of a stretch (it was found to be protected because the Constitution creates the postal service). For example, one analogy might be: if I go everyday to the local news stand, the 4th amendment doesn't prevent the government from asking the news guy what magazines I look at without a warrant. So why should the government need a warrant to ask Google what things I search for on their service? I'm not saying that its the right analogy, but rather that people who say "oh the 4th amendment obviously covers information online" are starting from the result they want and working backwards.

The problem is two-fold. First, there is no general right to privacy in the Constitution. Privacy is a pretty modern concept. People in the 1700's had very little privacy even in the physical sense.[1] What the 4th amendment protects is a narrower right: the sanctity of your home and personal effects and freedom from physical government harassment. Second, we don't have a well-defined idea of privacy even today. Why should the Constitution protect information I freely give my credit card company, Google, Facebook, etc, with the knowledge they use that information to sell me crap. Why should the Constitution protect information third parties collect about me from their own observations? There might be good reasons to institute those protections, but we don't have a well-defined idea right now where the lines should be drawn.

[1] There is an interesting documentary I saw once about how hallways are a pretty modern concept that arose contemporaneously with ideas of personal space. In houses from the 1600's you'd through bedrooms to get to other parts of the house--the expectation of private space was just a lot less.

Okay, and as soon as I switch to JSON, I have not just 5 million referrers logged per day, I also have 5 million times the word "referrer" in my log. Nice.
Is your entire log file a giant JSON array?

That's not necessarily a bad choice, but it's problematic for the reasons you describe. Still, since JSON is concatenative, you could indeed store all of your objects with a comma at the end and then use:

import json; json.loads("[%s null]" % file_contents)[:-1]

Then you would get problems as soon as you have line breaks inside strings

Then you are not logging JSON. JSON does not permit that.

Also, JSON objects do not have to be single-line to be valid, so you would in fact be working with some self-defined subset of JSON.

Yes, and? Working in a subset of JSON which forbids newlines as whitespace -- that's still JSON, and it solves your problem elegantly.

Do... do you have multiple logging programs, logging to the same file, and one of them wants to insert newlines? Is this a real problem in your dev stack?
Opera Mini is wrong in so many ways! And few people know about this proxying.

> or demonstrably false (because someone makes a testable claim and it's proven that the phenomenon under discussion has a natural cause).

Beware that you actually test the claims and not necessarily the existence of that 'supernatural' object.
People make all kind of claims about the supernatural, often contradictory to each other. Proving one wrong, doesn't make the other ones wrong. You still have to prove each individual claim (statement within a system of beliefs) to be wrong.

Saying that an entity S is X and Y, and given that claim X contradicts fact F, doesn't yield that S is not Y (unless X and Y are dependently bound), or that S doesn't in fact exist(ed).

One can claim about Aristotle that he had blue eyes, or red beard. If these claims are false, does it mean he didn't exist?
> That $20 trillion won't be $20 trillion with the added supply.

> Incompetent people will invoke whatever card is convenient for them, whether it's sexism, racism, ageism, what have you.

Of course they will, but then the pathologic PC people will attack anyone calling them out on it. With this modern attitude that no one should ever get hurt, we are giving a carte blanche to the rotten apples. Just keep that in mind.

> There's a higher concentration of people of people willing to pay their dues in the smaller companies like startups, but I'm not convinced that percentage-wise, the "handful of women" you talk of is any worse than the percentage of men in tech on the whole, which includes the non-startup world.

The handful of women I talk about were absolutely brilliant and could and did go in stride with the best of us guys. And thus they were accepted as a part of the team. I have never thought of a coworker "she is incompetent because she is a woman" but I have thought of a coworker "she is incompetent and expects to get away with it because she is a woman".

Many women often try to play their sex to their advantage when in a bad position. e.g.: I have never heard of a woman demand to be given a ticket by a policeman, when in fact such would be the law.

Tech people just have really low tolerance for bullshit and don't care as much about etiquette. That is all I'm trying to say.

Being politically correct for the sake of it won't do much for quality of engineering being done.

My history of closely scrutinizing Google products doesn't go back very far, so I couldn't say where the line between their old and new approach might be drawn. It also might be something that varied between product teams...

There is another possibility, that direct (verbal) user feedback is discounted as being "anecdotal" and not included when making "data driven" design decisions. But as you mentioned, this is all speculation without an insider's POV.

My intuition, however, is that their data-driven technique over-optimizes the various minutiae while allowing broader flaws to persist. I'd chalk that up to a lack of design vision to guide the testing.
I wonder how exploitation rights are handled. Can any company just send robots up there to mine it? Or will there be a remote war fought on the asteroid over the resources?

So, I don't know about zero-gravity metals and pharma, but space-based mining and manufacturing is absolutely essential for producing large-scale stations, spacecraft, and other things. It costs a ton to put things into space and during that time they're subjected to a considerable amount of force. By building in space, you don't have to build for gravity (look ma, no support structures!) and don't have to concern yourself with the cost of launches.

Imagine building a massive spacecraft for long distance travel. It'd never land on a planet, just go between them; you'd take a shuttle from your planet up to the craft and leave from there. This is possible with space-based manufacturing.
Both by Peter F Hamilton, the novel "The Nano Flower" and the last story in the "Second Chance at Eden" anthology deal with first-gen space colonization (and the latter is in the Night's Dawn universe if you enjoyed that series).
I like this a lot because it summarizes the direction my own C++ has taken since I first learned about FP. I've found that making a member method functional (i.e. changing usage of member variables into passed parameters where reasonable - I never use globals) makes it more reusable from an OO point of view. The biggest gains by far have been in multithreaded programming.
