Most of the NYC trading firms are 60 blocks south and at least 3 avenues east of the advertising firms on Madison... physical and logistical proximity don't matter though, traders are working on their strategies now.

All of this hype in the IPO only helps the pros profit - no advertiser or marketer on Madison has 9ms access to the exchanges.

I think your points 2-4 all make sense, however:

1. What do you mean by price?
1. Price is hard to figure out. Do you want to sort by the
base price of an item, the price plus shipping (which
depends on where you live), or the price after discounts
or specials? What about products that are sold both by
Amazon and third party sellers, where the 3p seller
charges less for the item but more for shipping than
Amazon? Which price should be shown?

What possible reason would we have to care about the "base" price before shipping, discounts, or specials? When I say sort by price, I mean sort by how much money my bank account decreases by, and I think Amazon already knows this, because when you look at "New" or "Used", it sorts by base price+shipping, just like it should.

That being said, the other 3 reasons sound intractable, and are exactly the reasons I would have guessed.
Hmm... Aerofs seems like dropbox, but peer-to-peer. Not quite the same as what I was thinking of, but very similar.
I completely disagree with the conclusion.

If I go along with the premise that people are merely "acting" stupid, that is all the more reason to casually dismiss them. I can have patience with people that have limited capabilities, but people who choose to act stupid?

Being semantically correct isn't particularly relevant. It's how you deal with consistent stupidity (and I'm not talking about the occasional brainfart or error of judgement).

Whether or not casually dismissing stupidity is the right thing to do depends completely on the context, not on whether you use the correct semantics to do so. I people are being viciously stupid (as in "gay people shouldn't have equal rights"), I will dismiss them as stupid, and I don't give a flying fuck if they are acting or being stupid.

And on the flip side there are also situations in which it is useful to figure out why people do or say stupid things. It's context that determines if my judgement is poor, not semantics.

The server environment is JVM-based since they expose GWT as the way to build UI. I think I remember seeing Rhino-specific error messages.

The coding environment is not very good, but you can build ERPs, CRMs, document management and similar for small businesses on Google Docs, in a way Microsoft Office / VBA never made possible. The modules it provides (spreadsheets, forms, formatted text document, gmail, calendar, wiki) seem to be very useful building blocks for describing your business processes.
I've seen this argument a few times. Forking on github is just the fastest way to try something out with the codebase and/or make a pull request. That was happening before, in a smaller scale, you just couldn't see it. I think the number of forks directly reflects the size of the community and traction.

I agree that it's hard to find real forks, watchers are a good indicator but you can't search/filter by that. On the other hand, meaningful forks tend to change their name the moment they detach from the original.

Your point regarding crapware makes sense, I hadn't thought about that possibility.

And regarding Flickr... You're advocating that you would have your dad use Kicksend, which presumably he won't have heard of either.
As a rule people are a lot smarter than they may appear to be at first contact. And people that think they are very smart are typically smart along some fairly narrow field and then extrapolate their smartness in that one area to all areas.

Thinking is interesting that way, if you're 'smart' it usually means that you know a lot about some subject but that isn't actually being smart. Being smart means that you can use the knowledge you've got in creative ways when presented with unforeseen problems or situations.

And there are plenty of people that would not normally be called smart that excel at that.

Being smart or not has nothing to do with making mistakes or falling prey to cognitive biases. The first is typically evidence of people trying things a little bit outside their envelope of experience, in turn they'll acquire new knowledge because of this. Guilty as charged, I make mistakes all the time. Your environment has nothing to do with you being smart or not either. Otherwise, how would you ever be able to recognize someone from a society with different levels of development as smart.

The fact that someone does not appear smart in a way that you recognize does not mean they are not.

I can't test this on IE<9 right now, but comparing to flot it seems they added the option to put axis labels, which I think is a big deal. In flot you can do it, but you need a plugin.

Now if they add also a 3rd parameter to points (x,y and identifier) it will be amazing.

Even people that are in general stupid may surprise you.

The problem with labeling someone as being stupid is that you're applying a stereotype to his behavior and by definition, you have preconceived ideas about stereotypes.

However, stereotypes are human-invented concepts and the world is much more complicated for that, as in fact everybody has a unique combination of knowledge and perspective that's dependent on his environment in which he grew up, his passions, his ideals, his education, his friends, his luck, his misfortunes and so on.

In my country we have a billionaire that started making money by herding and selling sheep. He's also a completely illiterate buffoon, a redneck that still has the same mentality as a sheep herder. Every time he talks, stupid things come out of his mouth. However, he's a billionaire that started from zero, while I have the income of a regular employee, he's also a politician with a seat in the EU parliament and he's also pretty involved in charity work, while I'm not. Judging by his words or actions that end up in the media, he's completely stupid, but judging by his accomplishments only, it's really hard to do that.

So be wary of calling people stupid, because stupidity is relative.
Thinking about Google Docs simply as an Office competitor is wrong. If you come to it expecting to do everything you do in Office, it is probably adequate but definitely much worse. However, Docs can do sharing of centralized data, use web APIs, integrate with your mail, and more - things Office can't even hope to match.

It seems as if this concept of not discussing politics in 'an election year' is the same as suspending public debate in the US for 1 year out of 4. So that's like the government wasting 25% of its time doing little and saying nothing.

Additionally from my distant from the US point of view I would say that suspending public debate is essentially coming down on one side of the party line.

Total number of people using the internet seems like a questionable metric for valuating U.S.-based internet startups, most of which (understandably given their business stage) focus primarily on the U.S. and maybe OECD for feature development, user base growth, and monetization. It's currently a bit laughable to imagine Pinterest monetizing their Nigerian and Indonesian user bases. Is there any particular datapoint that would lead us to believe their userbase significantly extends or will extend beyond the OECD?

It's like valuating a paper products company by the total number of people in the world. Sure, they all might be able to or even want to use a paper product, but what's important when making the call is the company's ability to sell to them while still making money.
I think funnily enough even though it is the same mechanism bcp is faster cause it is 100% native, I have seen native odbc outperform sqlclient by a factor of 2, would assume you would get the same for bulk operations.

I think I'll try to find the time to write a longer response on this, especially on why I think that while Open Source won as a software production model, most companies still don't get the open way of working (http://bergie.iki.fi/blog/open_source-free_software-what_we_...), and users still don't benefit from the four freedoms (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software#Definition) that come from free software.
The same way everything else works: practice!

Your muscles respond to your thoughts not because they pick out some random thought from all of them and decide to act on it. That wouldn't work at all. Your muscles are controlled by your brain in a feedback loop where your desire to make a particular movement gets compared with the actual movement you are making and then that movement is corrected. For something new or exceptionally delicate that is a full-time conscious job.

For something that you've done a hundred times before you more than likely have abstracted it away and have it 'on call' to the extent that it can be done as a subconscious task.

I don't know if you have a driving license or not but because driving is a skill that many people learn only well after they've become conscious of their environment it is my favorite example of this sort of abstraction. When you first learn to drive it is difficult and each and every movement is something that your conscious is fully engaged with. If you learn to drive in a stick-shift car it is not rare to have an instructor operate the clutch and the brake for the first couple of lessons because there is already so much for you to pay attention to.

Fast forward a decade or so and you're listening to your favorite tune and possibly working out some problem in your head while driving on the highway at a 90 miles per hour.

That's the power of how your brain is organized, it has an automated process for abstracting skills on board that allows you to build on top of things you've previously acquired but still allows you to focus on those same things long after they've become abstracted away if required.
I'd replace the word "frustrating" with "exciting" or "promising". What's frustrating about choice, competition and experimentation?

Important point there seem to be missing from your goroutine description is it's scheduling with respect to system calls -- all interactions with underlying OS is asynchronous in Go even though it looks like a blocking API.

Hi,

I use in my mobile directory a page with a Google map. On the map the red balloon, indicating my business address, is outside the displayed map. Only when I move the map I can see it. But when I use the program Mobilizer and in it the Iphone 4, the balloon is correctly centered. So, which program should I trust or which one displays it in the way the physical devices display it?

Thanks in advance for your help.

If you score a job in the Bay Area (or anywhere else with a decent tech scene), they should be able to pay you enough to relocate. I would not limit your job search to what's locally available. Also try bidding on jobs on Freelance sites to get some work while you're looking for a job. This will also help you build a better portfolio while getting paid.

Here's a related interesting talk on TED that I recently saw:
http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/en/jonathan_haidt_on_the_moral...
Yes. Buy for anything under $75, it will hit $100 within a week or two. $150+ within 2-3 months.
I spent 5 years living like that at my first couple companies. These days, however, my life is no longer organised in a way where that's viable. So 2-2.5k it is. If I was in a real pinch, I could temporarily get to 1.5k, but I feel like 4 months is about the right period of time for this anyway.
I agree with this, but just because a doctor loses a patient once in a while doesn't mean that we should give up on medicine.
TED's argument that the talk is overly political would appear to be supported by the fact that this article appears on a site dedicated almost exclusively to politics. Out of 56 non-external article links the site's home page, only three lead to non-political articles. Those are, respectively, a story about congressmen having their houses burglarized, a take on the BrainGate robotic arm story, and a stub of an article mentioning that 13% of US citizens are born abroad.

Having read the text of the talk, it is in my opinion completely political, and while I may agree with his basic point; he fails to cite examples of where implementation of his propositions had any positive effect. The tone of self-righteous loathing used when describing his ideological opponents does little to encourage sober consideration of his arguments.

As a final point, the speech makes no attempt to address the bear in the room, i.e., the question of whether it is right to take by force from one person and give to another, regardless of how beneficial the effects.

It's an extremely political talk being publicized by an entirely political web site with a title more suited to a Girls Gone Wild commercial than talk on socioeconomics. "Too Hot for TED" indeed.
He uses SASS and SCSS interchangeably. For anyone else not familiar with the difference:

"Sass consists of two syntaxes. The original syntax, called "the indented syntax" uses a syntax similar to Haml.[2] It uses indentation to separate code blocks and newline characters to separate rules. The newer syntax, "SCSS" uses block formatting like that of CSS. It uses curly brackets to denote code blocks and semicolons to separate lines within a block. The indented syntax and SCSS files are traditionally given the extensions .sass and .scss respectively."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scss

Also:

"Sass and LESS both use the standard CSS syntax. This makes it extremely easy to convert an existing CSS file to either preprocessor. Sass uses the .scss file extension and LESS uses the .less extension. The basic Sass or LESS file can be setup like below:

...

As you may have noticed, this is just regular CSS, which compiles perfectly in both Sass and LESS.
It’s important to note that Sass also has an older syntax, which omits semicolons and curly brackets. Although this is still around, it is old and we won’t be using it past this example. The syntax uses the .sass file extension and looks like this:"
