Once bots get smart enough there will be no captchas that can stop them. The only way will be to ban the IP where the bot is coming from, assuming you know which IP belongs to which bots. They could easily disguise themselves by using proxies.

I guess my point is that if we get to the point were a bot can do generic requests without the aid of a human a captchas will probably not be able to stop it.
If FB launches Adsense like product then that would be massive. Lot of websites have FB connect integrated into them and given the amount of data users have on FB you can do some solid targeting.

Edit: Grammar
This seems easily doable without involving a third party that needs to keep a record of every file sent, the time and the sender and recipient.

But at least this is a step in the right direction.

Now, what if she sends an encrypted file consisting of copyrighted materials? RIAA, MPAA, are you reading along?

What are we going to do to prevent that?

I'm also very happy with 23andMe. It's really quite cheap, it has some cool ancestry visualizations, and it told me about some health risks I should pay attention to.

I think the privacy questions are overblown. I don't particularly feel like I "own" my DNA, anyway - I leave bits of it around everywhere I go, I share the majority of it with all the members of my species and the entirety of it with my family members. It seems like a fundamentally open-source aspect of nature.
Do you have a paid subscription to Highcharts?
good intent but the op must not be familiar with online advertising. It is very hard to command $20 CPM (or the equivalent in CPC) on no search traffic (where people are not actively looking for a solution). Even big brands that do 'image' advertising and do not care about immediate ROI would balk at such a figure. Case in point: GM just pulled out of FB

I can't try the search, but having tried the one in gdocs: yes it appears to be the same, to the point of showing search results when no factual data is available.

(I am baffled that someone would block google docs, you have my sympathy)
I hear you. Yeah, the problem with changing or updating Emacs is it's been too successful. No one can change its constitution without breaking everything that makes it great.

The leg that I'm trying to stand on is, Emacsy isn't a text editor. It does not use elisp. No Emacs code will ever run on it. It provides a set of Emacs-like facilities that do not currently exist in a lot of interactive applications. So the project has the opportunity to make a clean break with past and still provide something of value. We'll see if can obtain even a sliver of the success that Emacs has.

I updated the FAQs to hopefully be more clear on this issue.

How does it stack up against Google Charts?
Good points. I agree that it's really hard to think about how to communicate things that are just obvious to programmers.

But having spent some time teaching my daughter, I see some real value in starting with very (very!) basic programming. She was amazed that a one character typo made her program break. Nothing in everyday life - with the possible exception of government bureaucracy - is that unthinkingly inflexible. So she learned that computers follow directions explicitly, and what that means.

She also learned the positive side of this - that she was in charge. The computer did exactly what she told it to. I think that's empowering and revolutionary. It wasn't magic, it was a simple series of instructions.

From there, we've got a real basis on which to learn, ask intelligent questions, and figure things out.

EDIT: I agree with the comments, a lot of things are unthinkingly flexible. and the one of the best things to learn about computers is that for the most part you can mess around without causing real physical harm.
I believe that npm is now included as part of all node distributions.
My experience trying to prototype on Moai is it has promise, but they really need better documentation. There isn't very much of it as far as up to date examples and the API itself is not exactly complete. Since they went to version 1.0, much of their existing documentation is also depreciated.

I think in the near future as the project matures, it will become far more solid. It already has a big advantage of being open source and cross platform. Other such engines like Corona and Gideros for lua are closed and also have some limitations on how you can extend and use them at the code level.

I tried Moai for a few weeks for prototyping (after already trying Corona and Gideros before). I decided it would just be better to do the actual game in a native code framework on whatever platform (something like libgdx for android or cocos2d for iOS).

In our case, it isn't a large system. Our node production environment serves up a smallish set of API/Ajax requests that are heavily used. With that, we've been able to eliminate more than a few Web servers that otherwise had to load the entire Apache/PHP stack just to serve a small 20-100 byte request.

With your response in mind - I don't see Node being mature enough (yet) to solely support an end-to-end large scale Web property. But, for serving up API content from Memcache/MySQL - it is blazing fast with minimal footprint. On our stack - we run Node right on our existing Apache Web servers (behind haproxy).

My gut reaction is that this is unnecessary micro-optimization. Does making SQL server come up with the date and time really make that big a performance difference?
The biggest wild card from my perspective is that the premise and promise of facebook is that it remains cool. People didn't use google to be cool. Twitter, to my friends and I, was actually pretty uncool initially and now has become my primary news feed. If today's tweens and teeny boppers don't jump ship in the next five years, then facebook may have really become the infrastructure company it claims/desires to be, until then, the doubts will linger.
Chronic The Pot Hog - Map Editor
I already looked into that. The cost of printing the custom boxes, and servicing the advertising customers would make any profit disappear.

Most businesses cannot sell advertising to make ends meet.

Imagine if on every box of MS office sold there were advertisements.

Edit:

Most brick and mortar businesses do not have the luxury of "pivoting". The tech world is lucky on that way.

Ever drive past an empty locale and think "Wasn't there a Pizzeria?"
All businesses that follow will have to fight such phenomenon.

Due to the internet not being anywhere we don't get to suffer that.
“However, sharing those photos with a subset of your contacts or sending full quality personal images to just your family members is still remarkably difficult. That’s where we come in.”

Hmm, not really. My sister who is not the most technical person has been uploading pictures to PicasaWeb and sharing them with specific people and groups. With the extra storage (whose price sadly increased with Google Drive), I also always upload my files at full resolution and sharing is easy.

The odd thing to me is that if you position yourself against Facebook (who is the implicit target of the first paragraphs), and you go completely free, you have to wonder what the catch is. I pay Google some money for the storage at least.
This bug will likely not be fixed, since it is in a stable release and is not a security threat. So not updating in order to avoid this bug means not updating for the entire 6-week period. That's a huge amount of time to not be receiving security updates. It's hard for me to see the tradeoff making sense.

I guess delaying the update until the severity of the bug is clear might make sense, for a short amount of time. But if you don't have a good workaround for the problem, you again have the choice between the bug or between an unpatched browser for a whole 6 scary weeks.
> as long as government fulfills its obligations nobody cares how the money got there

I care. If they increase our debt or just start printing extra money, they have fulfilled their obligation to SS while screwing the rest of our economy pretty hard.

> has very little meaning except taking part of the money out of circulation for no reason

Very little meaning except having the government follow rules of financial discipline that any financial advisor would advise individuals and businesses to follow. If you want to save after-tax money for retirement, separate it out from the rest of your disposable income. Keep separate accounts, separate records, etc. Otherwise, you'll blur the line between your different monetary purposes and it's doubtful you'll mean your savings goals.

It's about discipline and clarity to the American public. Sure, a dollar would be a dollar if the government were responsible enough to follow sound money management principles... but when have they ever done that?
> It's hard to use 'Orwellian' when the entity you're accusing is entirely dependent upon other sources and exercises no editorial control.

There's a lot of trust in Google with that statement. If this changes, how would you know? That's what's Orwellian about it.

It's not hard to imagine the results being silently tweaked by Google - not to say that they will do this, but it's a real danger, because it'd be very bad and hard to detect if they did do this at some point in the future, after we'd all gotten complacent and learned to implicitly trust the results.
Thanks for the feedback!

regarding #1: how about hiding them when you're idle? Would this work? (Just pushed an update, please check it)

regarding #2: Is it still not playing? I visited that url http://daydream.fm/places/6a14bd5c7 and it seems to be playing. By the way, is it still not playing? It seems to work on mine. Also, the two youtube links you mentioned seem to be the same, aren't they?

regarding #3: Yeah currently there is no edit currently. I had it before but removed it because things started becoming cluttered with all the buttons, I guess I should add it back. In the meantime, you can "remix" to inherit existing properties from the current one, and delete the old one.

I'm curious how things like "bootylicious" in San Francisco and what appear to be mostly personal photos like "griffith observatory" in Los Angeles, and perhaps artistic things like "lighting shadow" in San Francisco made the cut. Is it that at least two different accounts posted photos with those tags in the same general vicinity within a certain time elapsed?

Maybe it would help filter out less relevant results if events without any photos featuring large groups or crowds of people are removed, since those typically go hand-in-hand with notable events. If there could be a way to separate out sporting and music events, that would be nice as well.

Prime featured content would be large groups of people in the streets, with bonus points if there are things on fire. Another would be natural disasters (floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis), which most likely do not contain pictures of crowds in the streets, but probably do contain damaged or flooded buildings. Another might be a disease outbreak, perhaps with pictures of individuals with lesions or other visible symptoms, maybe in a medical setting. War zone events like the shelling of a neighborhood somewhere would be interesting, and might fall under the damaged building filter for natural disasters. Maybe pictures of tanks or other heavy military equipment rolling into a town, or helicopters flying overhead. UFO sightings. Pictures of crashes and accidents are always popular as well, and might only have a few emergency personnel around. Political events would probably fall under the large crowd filter. What else?
Oh it's actually an animated gif I just found on the web. I don't know where it is :)

By the way can you hear the sound? Just asking since you only mentioned the picture.

> Education performance lagging in the US is not the fault of it being federated

It's not the fault of being federated, but obviously federating it here the way we did was a catastrophic waste of money and effort.

Maybe we should completely scrap the current waste of money and gradually put something else in place that works? I certainly don't trust the current power structure to do anything but continue to waste our federal education dollars.

I think it's very smart, and not just for the risk-averse and lazy... starting small and earning your first stripes as an entrepreneur may prove to be a solid stepping stone to pursue bigger ventures in the future, I think. And now that you're financially independent, you won't have to worry about money holding you back. Gabriel Weinberg (DuckDuckGo founder), Ben Milne (Dwolla founder), Nat Turner (Invite Media founder), the list goes on... were all proven bootstrapped entrepreneurs before they worked on their first venture-backed startup.

Congrats on your success, do you recommend any good books or resources for bootstrapping/marketing apps?

I'm a big fan of Rob Walling's book/blog.

Show that a human can decide if an arbitrary program terminates. You are the one making an extraordinary claim (and make no mistake about it, the suggestion that humans can be used as oracle machines is an extraordinary claim.)

In some ways yes:

- they are both hosted services
- they both are key/value stores

In other ways no:

- IronCache has a REST API and supports memcached protocol
- IronCache only supports the basic functions of Redis, redistogo supports all of Redis because it actually is Redis.
- IronCache is elastic and scales with you, without any effort on your part. redistogo requires you to choose how much memory you want up front.
- Pricing is much different due to the point above too: IronCache charges by usage, redistogo charges based on the fixed amount of memory you choose.
consider the advantages in sharing validation code between the client and server

Is there a mature implementation of this yet?

One that is not tied to an entire immature framework (meteor) or programming pattern (nowjs)?

Code-reuse was the big promise of node. Yet in reality I've never seen it executed beyond brittle experiments.

Where is the form_for_model() function that emits code for both the client and the server?
I used to use bubbl.us because it has nice keyboard shortcuts. Now I use www.checkvist.com because you can create stuff in a list format, which is easier to paste into documents and share with others.
I'd love to see Python Server Pages as well but not implemented anything like it is in PHP. Mixing View and MVC Controller methods/classes in View pages is simply not a sustainable model. Following the PHP example here would seriously taint Python's potential for webapps. Java's JSP, OTOH, is the reference model for that.

One big plus for Python Server Pages is the ability to pre-compile into bytecode. True Python doesn't have near the level of compile-time checking that Java does, but it that could be written into a framework...
OMG. Have you also algorithmically quantified love too? And tell me what a "proven economic model" is. One where the rich have to hire working class cops in their off-hours -- depriving said cops' families of their presence -- so they can feel safe in common spaces? One in which private security and private prisons are the fastest growing employers? I've got news for you, pal, and you can shove this up your algorithms: People are not machines and, as messy as you might find this fact to be, have emotional components. Someone in the lower rungs of society might not be able to explain with a PowerPoint presentation the precise manner in which he or she is being screwed, but emotionally they can show you.

While reading helps to improve your understanding of what makes good writing, I feel writing regularly is more important. You need to learn to foster your own ideas through writing, being careful not to just think what others write.

"For ever reading, never to be read." - The Dunciad III
You, as an individual, may not care. Unfortunately, historical evidence and social science evidence suggests that (bearing in mind that you as an individual may not care) when income inequality grows too great, other parts of society begin to suffer and eventually break down. This even affects things like the average health outcomes for the people living in the unequal the society.

There's a strong correlation that indicates that poorer health outcomes, higher crime, poorer standard of living all go hand in hand with greater income inequality.

Again, you may not care, for your own sake, but the country is a fair bit larger than you, and this problem does affect us all, whether we care or not.

Congrats to the Context.IO team!
I cannot believe you missed the most important reason: you shared some of your life with your daughter.

My dad was a programmer, and I was always hacking away on the computers that we had around the house (sure... it was an Atari 800.... but you'd be amazed at what you can do on that little thing). Unfortunately, he never worked with me on any of my code ever. He never taught me anything about design, about computer languages, --nothing--. Perhaps I could have been more aggressive about getting him to help me, but I was an introvert's introvert. I was the kid in school who blushed when his name was called during attendance.

Looking back, I can't believe the wasted opportunity. You should enjoy this activity with your daughter for what it is. Forget the other 1,000 paragraphs you wrote about why.

I'm glad that you did this, and your daughter will be too.

( I read your article twice to make sure I didn't miss it, but I sometimes skip a sentence, so please pardon me if I got this wrong. )
Facebook is going to do great for the first 2-3 years - until the big investors convince everyone that facebook is here to stay. Then, the bloodbath will begin.
Science as whole (especially maths, physics and chemistry) is quite inflexible when it comes to tolerating extremely small mistakes. I what you're really describing is the process of logical analysis, being able to look at something completely objectively and say for certain that this won't work or this will work. I think this is why I personally find maths and physical sciences as a whole so satisfying.
> I think it's also worth noting that the US already gets 70% of all its taxes from the top 10%

Yes, but they also own 70% of all the wealth[1], according to 2007 numbers (the percentage is almost certainly a little higher today), so that's perfectly proportional. If you own 70% of the wealth, you should pay 70% of the taxes.
