I don't think anyone is purchasing on CPI anymore. What happens is with the multiple pageviews the odds of a click go up. It's not linear, so you won't get 3x the revenue on a 3-page article v. a 1-page article, but it's still an increase.

I've found Cracked is pretty bad with this. "Oh, you wanted to look at a Top 10 list? Here it is over 4 pages."

I don't understand, what exactly is preventing them selling their own tickets? Is it that the venues are opting to go with TicketMaster when booking them? Can they not just refuse to go with TicketMaster and then sell their own tickets? I don't understand...

I'm a foreigner with a bank account and no Dankort, and I haven't really found it a huge hassle. While it's hard to get a Dankort, it's easy to get a Visa Elektron, which most places accept without fees (unlike foreign credit/debit cards). And the only things I've found really necessary about a Danish bank account are: 1) having an account to designate as a NemKonto; and 2) being able to use the betalingsservice through netbanking, e.g. to pay my rent, utilities, and TV license fee. For smaller things, I haven't found just using cash to be problematic, even if most Danes don't pay in cash.
How much (if at all) were uniques v. pageviews taken into account? Was it better to have 10,000 people visit the site twice a day or 2,000 people ten times a day?

For those interested, the Bastard's Book of Ruby is written by Dan Nguyen, a journalist and developer who works at ProPublica (http://www.propublica.org/site/author/dan_nguyen ), and the dude responsible for SOPA Opera (http://projects.propublica.org/sopa/ ).

I'm not sure how many other programming books have come up out of the news apps/NICAR world (the National Institute for Computer Assisted Reporting), but one of the reasons i like the Bastard's Book so much is that it's a really practical bent on learning to program.
Really like efforts to make payments and secure transactions easier however not sure how this will compete with the big boys (banks etc).

For example Visa offer contact less payments for merchants via pay wave.

Barclays have payments from your smart phone via ping it.

Then there is nfc technology.

Just trying to test the longevity of this product. Does it alleviate the pain of using a card and remembering a pin.

Edit: also worth mentioning Paypal, Barclays Paytag.

I pretty much think the same way. Having funky title like Jedi or Ninja may sound cool but it is not digestible for the outside world.

I being a Web developer / software engineer prefer being called a Software Engineer cause it is all about software engineering that I deal with and it doesn't always have to do with the web. Being called a programmer narrows my skill set, Cause it is more about finding solution, designing, managing projects and a lot more then just coding/programing.

So I love being called a Software Engineer :)

I think people are also conveniently forgetting that the first Windows Mobile reboot was ACTUALLY the Kin. Its funny to look back at it now, but the Kin cost Microsoft 2 years as well as a ton of talented engineers.

Just imagine what things would be like if WP7 was released when the Kin was ... it probably would have been even earlier than that if they had focused all of their effort on WP instead of fragmenting the company (and causing a ton of internal strife) between the Kin and WP. We would be looking at a much different situation right now.
Isn't that an undesirable behavior? You are consuming network bandwidth without even using (or knowing about) it?

Historian Lewis: Challenges of scholarly analysis of controversial subjects
To be specific, jokes are much more welcome in /r/programming than they are here, which invites Eternal September.

I think the pro-business mindset helps as well. People start complaining when the depth that they remember isn't present in the discussions of the internet community (sometimes the gap is only perception/nostalgia).

I am pretty much a poster child for someone who threatens HN culture. While I am deeply interested in the intersection of computers and human enterprise, I came over from Reddit, and I don't have any practical experience to speak of. There are many times here (or in /r/askscience) when someone leaves an opening for a joke and I feel like I just have to make it. I'm sure that originally the impulse was tied to the possibility that a lot of people would like it, but now it's merely a conditioned response.

At any rate, my tendency to temporarily believe that my youngish impulsiveness would be a positive thing for the community make me an outsider here, but I don't want to change that.

I know that that having a clearly defined purpose helps a community to be strong and it isn't worth making HN (or /r/askscience) more like me if it jeopardizes their existence.

What's more, once in a great while, when it really is time to make a joke I've watched them go by unmolested.

Edit: I'm sorry about the double post. I was having trouble typing on my phone.

Edit2: In response to your comment below, I'd say that people who are pro-business are probably less introverted than I am. Given that assumption, I'd say they'd be less motivated to make those kneejerk comments because they're probably getting enough social validation elsewhere. Granted, those are assumptions layered on assumptions, but at least that was what I meant
Balmer's and Gate's 9% ownership stake allow Microsoft to be organized into a divisional structure along the lines of profit and cost centers. Wall Street can fuss and fume about Online Services or Entertainment and Devices quarter after quarter but Balmer is free to run them as the massive R&D organizations which they are (e.g. field testing of Kin, development and support of Metro, and social graph construction via Xbox Live).

Windows Phone 7 is a field test of the technologies which allow Windows on ARM to scale. Five years after the iPhone Microsoft has a competitive OS that scales and is robust enough for their enterprise customers.

Balmer understands that Microsoft's success in the consumer market segment comes from treating those relationships as B2B by providing long term support - my 8 year old laptop still gets OS updates - they sell on improvements not by breaking systems into obsolescence.
Blizzard very intentionally made it online only to combat piracy. Not only that but I read they have units/loot/and map layouts generated server side to make it much more difficult for the crackers to release something playable. The servers are doing a lot of work, so it's not surprising in the slightest that they are having lot's of launch day issues.

It's a pretty sad case of putting business concerns over user experience. If it wasn't an anti-piracy thing they would have happily made a offline mode because it would drastically reduce the server load and all the support and development costs that massive multiplayer games have.

No, this grouping is not the intent but the consequence. What you actually do on G+ is tagging people and viewing them by tag. After a while, the tag-cloud per person over several accounts is a very nice statistical description. Most will tag you as friend or colleague, others will put you in a partition where they group acquaintances by hobby or interest.
In retrospect, I probably could've just refreshed the ads via JavaScript when I transitioned to a different photo

Dynamically refreshing ads usually is not allowed with ad networks, since it can be abused to inflate adviews. For example, look at the AdSense policy:

https://support.google.com/adsense/bin/answer.py?hl=en&a...

"Any method that artificially generates clicks or impressions on your Google ads is strictly prohibited. These prohibited methods include, but are not limited to, repeated manual clicks or impressions, automated click and impression generating tools and the use of robots or deceptive software. "

Whether or not using javascript falls under the category of "impression generating tools" is probably open for discussion, but I wouldn't be surprised if Google didn't like this.

A couple of things:

1. The "marketshare" that is referenced by Kantar is new sales marketshare, not overall marketshare. Its an important difference to point out.

2. Even with these gains in WP, iOS and Android are seeing similar absolute gains (e.g. in the 2-3% absolute marketshare growth). All WP is currently doing is taking a small piece of the symbian/BB pie

3. Given Microsoft's track record, the problem with WP is how long it takes for them to release a new product. Mango was what WP should have been initially, yet took a year to release. By the time WP8 is out, we will be looking at iOS6 and the Android version AFTER Jelly Bean.

Overall, I believe WP will not go away, but will stabilize at around 5-6% overall marketshare. The problem then is that given Microsofts development costs, they will continue to lose money. (Just look at Bing vs Google and even with 30% of US search shared, Bing loses billions of dollars a year)
> The customer must sign the transaction on the ipad screen with finger (even harder with iphone). it's very hard to check that to the signature on the back of the card.

In my experience, signing works really well. Also, in Sweden nobody checks the signature. I don't even bother signing my card, and I can't understand how anybody can read the signature on the card. I think it's happened once that someone's wanted to check my signature against the card.
> Yes there is preference for chip & pin but every reader I've seen supports swipe & sign still.

Many automated machines (e.g. gas stations) don't support swipe at all, only chip & pin.

And in Belgium, most of the terminals in smaller shop seem to be swipe-less, they're pretty big square things and only have a slot for chip-based (above the screen rather than below), no swipe slot.

Odd that the article completely sidesteps bureaucracy.
Facebook Needs To Take Marketing Seriously
It's a measure of their server farms that each bot in their swarms can run a javascript environment (though probably only needed in a very low percentage of pages). When each can read captchas and open accounts they won't need users at all.

>Carriers have absolute control over the consumer sales channels

In the US. But here, on the other side of the pound, there's hardly any carrier specific additions or subtractions to/from android, just the manufacturers. The big EU markets have some (like Germany, France, UK), but unlocked phones are still always available, and many customers opt for those.

I think you're right about the situation when talking about North America, though.

Personally I've been burned by both HTC and LG on slow or no updates, so I will never by an Android phone that's not a nexus device again.

Edit: Unlocked and unbranded nexus device.
For what it's worth, AOL had this 25 years ago and never even had complaints. And yes, people came to realize that "DanBlake read this" meant DanBlake's client had read this, and you, personally, might not have seen it yet - or, if you had, you'd marked it unread for later reading.

But we had that feature from day 1; user expectations grew up around it. Introducing this kind of behavior mid-game is dangerous for all the reasons everyone's mentioned.
This seems like a funny definition of "executing" that has nothing to do with a successful outcome.
How much are the payment fees? I couldn't find it on their website. And what about the 30% Apple Tax?
Obviously ads. Generally I prefer single page (+ Readability), but was surprised that sometimes I prefer multiple pages. I think it's when they act a bit like chapters, giving you a sense of completion. Maybe it's when the content is dense and/or boring. It also makes it easier to
"hold your place", if you need to do something else (like research something in the article). I'm one of those people who highlights text to keep my place on the page (so I have to adblock some sites' JS that hijacks highlighting (e.g. NYTimes)).
I disagree. He's not teaching "wrong history", he's teaching students to think outside the box and identify the weak points in the fabric of the internet knowledge base. What they choose to do with these skills is up to them - perhaps they will invent a more powerful citation system for fact checking, or even enhance the security of vulnerable financial processes.

"most of it is produced in good faith by enthusiastic (and sometimes mistaken) individuals exercising their free speech" - citation needed. By definition, you will never know what the biggest lies out there are because they're never exposed, so your assumption that "all" lies are childish mistakes is wrong.
This is somewhat off topic, but why does the same lawyer show up so often?

David Boies has argued in Bush v Gore, defended Napster, worked for SCO in SCO v Linux, argued the recent California gay marriage law, was the council for US team in the recent America's cup case, and now he's Oracle's lawyer here (at least I see the last connection).

I can't discern a pattern to those cases other than their high profile nature. Wouldn't it make more sense to hire someone that is an expert in computer IP law for SCO, Oracle, Napster type cases, a constitutional lawyer for the Gay marriage and Gore v Bush type cases, etc. How can one guy be the go-to for so many high profile cases?
Although the page and everything on it are beautiful, I can't help but think that this kind of portrayal perpetuates the "series of tubes" myth about how the internet functions.
I can't see that your argument engages with anything I've said. I've spelt out a plausible mechanism by which some comments would add value to the community (by preventing deterioration of standards of discourse). If you want to say otherwise, you'll have to take issue with that argument. As it stands, you've not done so.

Regarding this:

> If the comment is not worthy of being on HN, then it's also reasonable to conclude that most comments it sparks will be of equal or lesser value.

I don't see any reason to accept it, but even if it did we're talking about a specific subset of responses, and so I've presented an argument for why that subset would add value. This is not inconsistent with the general claim, and so your general claim does not do much in the way of response - it is beside the point.

Finally, 'adding value' is more than just 'sparking valuable comments'. Comments can add value without sparking valuable comments by, e.g. re-enforcing valuable community norms.
Advertising is all about the number of touches sometimes. Just because they didn't say they were coming from facebook ads it may have been a combination of advertising that included facebook that would move a customer in your direction. We have seen a lot of success with facebook and linkedin advertising when trying to get a small group of doctors to attend live events. It may not make up the bulk of our registrations but when trying to reach a small niche audience we've found every registration counts and facebook lets us do that in a cost effective way.

Red Hat is funding the free plan right now. One of the reasons we started the service this way was so that we would really understand cost control in the public cloud from the point of view of customers. That lead us down the multi-tenancy path (lots of workloads on a single VM). SELinux and Linux Control Groups (as well as a lot of other tech) have been key for us in keeping costs under control.

Check out the OpenShift Origin work (https://github.com/openshift/crankcase) if you are interested in the code that we use to run all of this.

Not at all. Imagine you're a full-time professional journalist working for a paper or a TV station, and I tell you, because I've written a blog post, I'm a journalist too now, and by the way, it isn't that hard, anyone can do it. You might feel that I didn't quite get it. You might also feel that publishing articles without proper fact-checking is irresponsible. And so on.
Wow. Thanks. Works great.

Maybe for his litigation skills? I'm sure there's a large legal team behind the scenes that includes IP experts, but "litigation" is its own field - most lawyers never see the inside of a courtroom. There's rhetoric, witness examination, making motions and objections, and so much more than expertise in an area of law.

The more I think about it, this line of possibility seems at least equally likely to he PO'd GM theory.
Advertising for local businesses is huge business (the yellow pages -- a list of phone numbers on dead tree passed out for free -- are worth billions of dollars a year, to say nothing of newspapers, radio, and their online would-be replacements like Groupon). The vast majority of it is unmetered and ineffectual.

Anyone who successfully solves this problem will end up with a business which is, roughly, Google-scale. (As they always say about contents: many will enter, few will win. Many have entered, like every broken husk of a group-buying company before Groupon.)

Even more interesting: it does not buffer the video all the way, on my machine it reliably buffers 10 seconds of video then stops until I hit "play". At which point it loads all the rest of the video (so it's not that it only has a 10s buffer, they explicitly selected to preload only that amount of data)
If she is on a student visa, try to find out if she has the option to go on Optional Practical Training (OPT), the monetary commitment for an employee is minimal so I think many companies think this would be a good way to try out an employee before investing in their H1B process.

If the OPT option is not available to her for some reason, ask her to apply to a large company (Goog, FB, etc). Those guys have the resources to do an H1B without worrying too much aS long as the employee has crossed the interviews...
