I don't particular agree with the "visit other countries" sentiment, because I have not been convinced that traveling inherently leads to challenging your own ideas -- in fact, most people seem to come back pointing to experiences that confirmed their already existing biases.

But: the status quo is dangerous. It always has been. If we stay comfortable for too long we run the risk of being overtaken by those who don't know how to relax, by those who cannot relax. The tortoise and the hare retold again and again, ad infinitum.

Mostly due to certain parts of the job being very enjoyable and that this sort of thing isn't that big a bugbear for me to look... yet.
I used to think that was a solid rule but no more. Nowadays it's almost a strategy to launch with barely more than a functioning prototype and then re-write later. The learnings from the first draft are immeasurable.
You could be right (http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7228/7217382732_b147182406_b.j...) but I guess it didn't sound concrete in the first chat log. Anyhoo, will be interesting to see how this develops further!

I'm partial to Localytics, but that's because we pay for their Enterprise solution which insures a complete copy of your raw data stream on S3 and much better reporting (including custom funnels).

We also run GA in parallel just for the real-time reporting (which the biz folks love).
全椒太平桥
I've written a lot of scrapers myself and let me start off by saying there is no such thing as a site that can't be scraped. You can add in honey-pots all day long and at the end of the day once I've discovered my bot has been detected, I'll find a way around it. If the content is worth scraping and the site owner doesn't have an API (free or pay to use), then people will find a way to get the data regardless of what you do.

A well-intentioned article that puts forth a few great ideas for amateurs, but at the end of the day it's wasted time and effort that could have been better spent, oh I don't know, developing an API for your users instead.

If I want data I'll get the data, I always win.
Hey Patrick it's great to hear that Appointment Reminder is doing well - congratulations!
In addition to mentioned suggestion I will add some here. Make difference layers difficult to understand and use (which will affect real user too!):

1. Script delivery. Use dynamically loaded modules.

2. Content delivery. Use websockets to deliver data. Does any developer tool show content going through websockets?

3. Content rendering. Use canvas to render content on the screen. Use fonts that make OCR difficult. Handwriting? :)

4. Use of browser plug-ing like Flash and Java.

5. Content delivered over video.

6. Quota based content delivery for requests originating from the same source. Use of multiple signals like cookies and IP addresses to pinpoint the source. Progressive

However, I would not recommend doing most of these. As mikeash aptly compared it to DRM, usability of the website will be affected negatively.

Like software, we can make it hard to reverse engineer them but cannot prevent a determined person from reversing it. There is no way to prevent a determined scraper. They will scrape your data using appropriate tools like real browsers, OCR or real people (mtrurk?).

Edit: formatting.
He may have actually meant share in the sense of percentage: I'd rather have 1% of Google than 2% of Facebook.

1 Google: 203.13 billions (market cap in http://www.google.com/finance?q=GOOG )

This is only true if you believe recessions are caused by a lack of confidence, rather than by negative returns on bad choices.

It also assumes that A stuffs the money into the mattress rather than lending it to C, who uses the money to create something that B wants to buy.

It's a very simplistic two-part scenario and has a lot of problems, not in the least what the 'something scares A' part of it. It also assumes that nobody else wants to buy products from B.

In fact the more I read it, the less I am convinced it has any merit at all.

I spent most of 2004-2010 working on government/military (including NATO and Iraqi and Afghan government, which were the worst) IT contracting.

For instance, it took me 5 months and a 3-star general's approval needed to make a (trivial) firewall change, between two lobes of a network all at the same accreditation level. It only happened THAT fast because making the change had a measurable impact on trauma care (i.e. it probably saved >1 life).
Why would a company ever cut 30,000 jobs at once, instead of smaller amounts of jobs incrementally? Presumably their desired number of employees did not actually change overnight by 30,000.
Non US citizen here.

I think the senators are taking this personally. More than 'He didn't pay the tax' this is about 'Does US no longer matter that people are renouncing citizenship?'

The fact is rest of world thinks they don't need US or go to US to do big things, anymore. That is something for the Senators to think about.
Long ago, I built a lesson plan generator for the LAP and e-LAP skill tests (0-3 year olds). The teachers each put their activities designed to improve a skill and it would print out the needed activities for each child after testing. It was quite the hit. Never did go commercial, bit it did save a lot of time and provided a weird form of networking via activity sharing across centers.

Lesson plans are a big issue for pre-K also. You tend to have to do the plans in a much more individualized way with not all of the kids at once. It was quite a challenge just finding time to write up the plans based on the tests. Automation was a huge gain.
I am not so sure that the situation is as simple as that. My perception is that these tiny issues are usually symptoms of an underlying reason why there is no longer (if there ever was) a fit between the company and a person. I think what happens is that once a person consciously or not realizes that this underlying reason has come up, all these tiny things start becoming more and more irritating, until the person explodes.
> Beat them out for that (and Facebook could potentially do so)

Google searches have purchasing intent, see http://cdixon.org/2012/05/15/facebooks-business-model/ .
P/E is about predicted growth. There's little reason to invest in non-dividend stocks unless you expect the company to grow in value, so predicted growth is a much better metric than current profit.

As your post's parent points out, Amazon have depressed earnings due to a heavy investment in expansion. Plus, Amazon's growth strategy (go international and sell more digital goods) is both obvious and working well for them (based on YoY revenue).

Facebook have already-declining revenue and only speculative growth strategies, as they have peaked out the "obtaining users and selling impressions" strategy and they haven't proven that they have a method for converting mobile users to revenue.
The problem is that the teacher has an incentive to reduce the quality of her education during the normal class.

I guess it's like the difference between buying 'protection' from the mob and hiring a legitimate security guard.
"I see the future of mass long-distance travel being underground vacuum trains. It's a huge engineering effort but would solve so many problems (eg air congestion, travel times)."

I don't think this will happen if the universe has taught me one thing its that things tend to take the least path of resistance. If anything I think the future will be a realized matrix, in that increasing the fidelity of the current internet.

I recently reread Cormac McCarthy's All the Pretty Horses.

I was prompted to do so by another book discussion. Not his best book - I think Blood Meridian and The Road are better - but McCarthy is a great writer.

For nerd non-fiction, I just read Jim Lovell's Lost Moon which though not a great book, is a good solid book about greatness.

I was quite surprised by how true this was when my wife started teaching high school math. I initially suspected 10~11 hours a day. Which I equated to my days of going to college full time and working construction full time -- easily 11-12 hour days, 6 days a week. She does so much more. Her typical schedule:

- 4:45am, awake

- 5:30am, out the door

- 6:00am, gets to school

- 6-8 she does whatever needs done for classes, meets with students, meets with peers or administration

- 8:00am, classes begin

- 9:30am, break time for 1hr 30 minutes -- but students will come in during this time to either make up tests, get extra help with something, or just do work. She can also have meetings (again) with peers, administration or sometimes parents.

- 11:00am, lunch for 1hr -- but again, students will usually come in to do whatever they need to do.

- 12:00pm, next class

- 1:30pm, next class

- 3:00pm, school's out

- 3-5, meetings with peers, getting ready for class tomorrow, emailing parents, handling disciplinary issues, prints lesson plans or whatever else needs done at school

- 5:30pm, home

- 6:00pm, eat and take a nap for however long she can get

- 8:00pm, wake up from nap, grade papers, enter in grades (if grades aren't posted online within 2 days she'll get about 5 emails a day from parents asking about it)

- 10:00pm, gets ready for bed

- 11:30pm, can finally get to sleep due to thinking/preparing for the next day.

She gets paid $36,000 a year. I have so much respect for her. Oh, I forgot to tell you -- all her lesson plans change each semester. They don't have books in half their classes -- they use a county wide "lesson plan" which must be printed out for each student. The school system believes in "evolving" education, so every semester they try to incorporate different topics or try to approach different methodologies. While I commend them for that, it negatively effects the teachers in excess busy work. If they used a printed book for 10 years in a row, she'd do it once and be done, with variations being in classes taught.
Also let the coders name the internal libraries/apps they write. It's their creation, also improves the culture. Generic names are just not good.

Even our internal servers are called with strange names, //pictures being the main intranet for the studio :) It's all good...
I never really thought about it until one place actually misspelled my name and then told me I was wrong about it. That was fun to straighten out.
If you are charging someone for access, then presumably you are requiring them to log in to access the data. In that case, it should be pretty straightforward to throttle or completely block them if they are doing something (e.g., scraping) that violates your terms of service. Then you charge them again to use your API.
A better trick I discovered when I used to work in an environment closer to this was to always give the person requesting help some trivial but sincerely related task to do before you can help them, e.g. "can you just write down all the steps in the process before you get stuck, it will help me solve the problem", or "Hmm... I'm not quit getting the issue, can you draw me a diagram and then get back to me". This acts as a great filter for people that are just helpless versus people that really need help. And if anyone complains to the boss that you aren't helping, you can say "oh well did you do task X? that's really all I need from you to get started"
Insanely well. I've been posting publicly as dmd@3e.org for 16 years now, and at a few other addresses that forward to that for 22. All of that mail goes to gmail. My spam folder gets ~600 messages per day. I get a false-negative (spam in inbox) about once a month. I check for false-positives (ham in spambox) pretty regularly, but haven't ever found one.

Workers (as in people who work for a wage) aren't Capitalists (as in the Noun).

You don't have to be a Socialist if you are not a Capitalist. There are not 'a lot' of Capitalists anywhere (proportional to the overall population).

This is a great article from Stelter, but he’s mistaken when he claims that the Auto Hop feature erases ads. I learned in one of my training classes as a Dish employee that the Auto Hop feature doesn’t manipulate what’s aired during primetime on CBS, NBC, ABC or FOX. The PrimeTime Anytime feature does record the shows from these networks during primetime, but the Auto Hop feature only gives the customer the choice to watch these recordings with or without commercials.
Ads are Facebook's and Google's primary source of revenue. I wonder if there will ever be a market for ad-free, subscription-based search or social sites.
I know a teacher that has to regularly submit her hand-written lesson plans for the principal to review. That way the principal thinks she can be sure that the teachers are creating their own lesson plans late at night.
Yes teachers do work hard and long hours. However, many people tend to forget that teachers also don't work year around. At least in the US, there is quite a lengthy summer break. In the compensation arena, (oregon) teachers have pension and pay nothing into FICA/medicare. With the average public school teacher making 45k (7k more than the avg wage in america), I have a hard time believing that they are underpaid. Teacher unions have done a swell job pounding this message.

So with Nginx, Apache, Tomcat all supporting SPDY that will be quite a lot of the widely used servers. I wonder how popular and widely implemented SPDY has to get before Microsoft would cave and put it in IIS and IE? I am sure they will hold out for a bit, but at some point if 50% of web traffic can go faster and IIS doesn't support that, it's going to be a pretty big disadvantage for IIS.
Its a great idea but the product seems only half done... I signed up and could only share links but I couldn't (as a product vendor) tell referly how much I'd pay for signups or register with the site in anyway.

It only seems to allow you to share links at this time, not register your product.

Nope. I don't mess with it. I am using GAFYD though.
Funny because the majority of homeschoolers I know teach canned curriculum. The only real advantage for a homeschooler like that is that they can select the best curriculum for their individual kid(s) rather than having to select it for a whole classroom at a time. But a lot of times they just pick what their friends use so they can feel comfortable with their choice.
As far as anyone who isn't technically literate is concerned, I'm a programmer. In my domain (the software realm), I prefer to be called referred to as a Software Engineer. dagw pointed out that engineers should have an Engineering degree, but I don't really agree.

As far as I'm concerned, anyone who meets the requirements of the definition of 'Engineer' ('A person who designs, builds, or maintains engines, machines, or public works.', according to Google) is qualified to be called an Engineer. Having an engineering degree doesn't make you a good engineer anymore than not having an engineering degree makes you a bad engineer.
I have a similar issue where most of the time 'surname+first_initial' means I end up with the last letter of my Surname being cut off. This becomes really annoying as because the email address is structured that way, my name on documents starts cropping up with the typo as well (as people will often just check the email address for the spelling)

Is the Tech Media Deliberately Not "Getting" Google+?
And what do they do with the 'pies' they collect?
I use Gmail, but I definitely get spam. I get false-positive spam all of the time (mailing lists I'm on have a decent chance of going to the spam box), and whenever a spammer has 'Google' in the email title, it has about a 60% chance of being a false-negative (i.e. showing up in the inbox). I also get false-negatives on spam when there is just a title and message body.

Perhaps Gmail's spam filters are mostly based on how you train them, so people who receive more email get a better filter?

For many it doesn't matter, but for some it's a big deal. Either because they have a handle that is important to them, or because what the policy comes up with is unappealing (for many reasons).

My point is: if its important to your engineer, it should be important to the company.
I have yet to see any anti-scraping method that can protect against a full instance of Chrome automated with Sikuli. It's obviously very expensive to run, since you either need dedicated boxes or VMs, but it always works. In my experience the most consistent parts of any web application are the text and widgets that ultimately render on the screen, so you easily make up for the runtime costs with reduced maintenance. You could in theory make a site that randomly changes button labels or positions, but to the extent you annoy scrapers you're also going to annoy your actual users.

Highly doubtful. My wife who is a NYC teacher comes up with her lessons plans on her own time. There's not enough time in the normal work day to come up with lesson plans so she's usually doing them at night. Teachers do a lot of work outside of 'office hours' to prepare for the next class.
Wow, perfect timing, thank you. I just decided to start Michael Hartl's Rails Tutorial, and was looking for something on Ruby because I don't know the language.

I love the practical focus; it's exactly why I want to learn programming. I have a very narrow field, and no one has applied programming + domain knowledge to it.

edit: forgot to add, the design is beautiful. A pleasure to read.
If we're going to be pedantic about it, it's not revenue that determines price, it's earnings, and specifically the expectations of future earnings.

And it still makes absolutely no sense. HP has a great track record over the last decade of generating solid profits. I understand why they have a low PE ratio, the market is anticipating very slow growth.

However, Facebook's growth meanwhile is slowing significantly, and they're IPO'ing at perhaps 120 times earnings (or more). That's a very large bet that Facebook will figure out how to accelerate their growth again. The market is wrong in its pricing of Facebook, and retail investors are going to suffer for it.

Facebook is a compression trap. You slow their growth to 35%, peg their PE ratio to 35 times, and they need $3 billion in profit to justify their IPO price. Growing at 35% it would take Facebook about five years just to trade at a reasonable valuation. These things correct themselves one way or another; either FB accelerates, or the market will slice it in half in the next year to 18 months.
Exactly jclulow -- it's a clue. Thanks for explaining.
Relevant! Thanks.
