If I would have the money I would buy it for $25 a share. Personally I don't believe it will go under this. Facebook is a good business, just not by the price people were told. I don't believe FB will grow much more. A P/E=100 ($31) is still too high. $25 corresponds to P/E=80, high enough in my opinion. I believe that one Buffet wouldn't pay more than P/E=25, around 8 bucks.. Google right now as a P/E=18, Microsoft less than 11..

Some Kitchen Gadgets We Love
For gadget freaks, the love does not stop at Apple’s latest phone or the latest tablet. It extends to everywhere in the house, even the kitchen. There are followers of the latest kitchen gadgets and they want everything from the latest and greatest knife to modern technology in their lighting.
Actually it is a very debated argument. Most of the choices about colours are about brand/category recognition.

In my experience designers (and is the role I sometimes have) must understand that visual appearance is nothing if not considered in its context. A blue logo is obviously more obvious (no pun intended) and not revolutionary, but is able to vector the category of the much more fast than an orange one. What does an orange circle on an app logo mean? A blue one is more clearly inserted in the right category.

But I see some more interesting issuess: what does that greenish/blue look that social networks acquired after Facebook and Aqua (oh yeah, that aqua UI) really mean? That green/blue is considered in semiology the color of the death and dead bodies[1]. Do you want YOUR logo to pass THAT semiotic message?

Please excuse my ignorance, but how is not tipping the servers considered rude ("morally equivalent to taking money out of their pockets"), and flat-out lying about the prices isn't? If I'm told one price, and am considered a thief if I pay it exactly, this is morally acceptable? I'm a bit confused here.
No, it isn't. "Nice girls"?

Models are attractive people. The terms works for both sexes. Ask yourself why there has to be any reference at all to the fact that the pictures are of females. Your placeholder image leaves little doubt about that fact.

I'm trying to get an idea across to you: it isn't okay to use women as sex objects in public conversation like your site. It isn't okay to single women out, even as "nice girls." Both your image and your text make it about their sex and sexuality. Use whatever images you like on your own computer, but when it comes time to share with the internet, have some tact. Lie a little and choose something less offensive when sharing a story like this. A quick flickr search found the following pictures of attractive, presentable women:

* http://www.flickr.com/photos/jamespicsatflickr/3531188607/
* http://www.flickr.com/photos/jamespicsatflickr/4327536639/
* http://www.flickr.com/photos/chamberimages/4489201274/

Without any emphasis on women in your text, you'd still have a great contrast to the photo of your cofounder with any of these images, with none of the sexual overtones.

I wouldn't take the time to respond if I didn't care—you have some truly great design work that deserves to be shared. I'm trying to help you see the parts of it which are unacceptable, so you know not to make the same mistake next time.

And for now, seriously, just remove "nice girls". It's awkward English, regardless.
Most of the gain was from actual logic, if there had been only models & controllers we wouldn't have seen any major benefits. But there was a lot of IoC with the customary mountains of rather pointless interfaces, an "admin" of sorts & a "messaging" queue running tasks. Most of the POJO data classes ended up being replaced by Python's built in dictionary. Basically the mixture of Python's stdlib, the language ecosystem & Django's got rid of most of our code. In the cases where we couldn't reuse anything from anywhere, something like a business logic class would normally shrink by 2/3. And the frontend was not JS heavy so that factors in.

I hadn't started when the decision to go Django instead of Rails was made (Rails & .NET MVC were also considered) but I've been told it came down to a number of things:

* This is in Europe, generally Ruby is not used very much over here, Python has been used in some shape or form in every company I've have experience of but I've only seen Ruby recently and then mostly for Chef or Puppet.

* Lack of explicit imports did not work in Ruby's favour.

* If needed numpy & scipy don't have a analogue in the Ruby ecosystem.

* General negativity towards the religious zeal permeating through the Rails community.

Does this start to lead to fragmentation? Enough that developers will have to start thinking about different models when building their UI?

I personally still run IOS 4 on my original iPad as well. A number of developers / apps require IOS 5 (ex. iHeartRadio) that I can't use.

It isn't as fragmented as Android but is the IOS ecosystem reaching critical mass where developers will have to build multi-display optimization code and once you've done it how much incremental work is it go from supporting 2 resolutions to supporting N resolutions?
I'm going to play devil's advocate with this one.

The title is no different to becoming a Doctor after getting a PhD. Here, you become a Sir after getting a knighthood.

It could be said that the PhD title is equally dubious as it also automatically commands more respect. The only difference is they both come before the name and not after (as with MBEs, OBEs, academic qualifications like BSc (Hons), etc.)

But anyway, isn't that the purpose of a title?
I don't know if I should laugh or not :|
Samsung won't reveal revenue for Android, for reasons that will become obvious shortly

How very conspiratorial. So what, exactly, are they hiding? They want the price per unit to seem high? Or maybe they simply don't feel those are relevant numbers or numbers they want competitors knowing.

This can only mean one thing. The average selling price of those Android devices is well below 75% of the average iPhone sale.

I went along with your logic open minded, but you do realize there is a giant unknown in your claims, right? I suppose this links back to the conspiratorial claims about revenue numbers, however you have no idea what Samsung's average unit price is for Android phones. None whatsoever.

But let's pretend that the average Samsung smartphone sells for 75% the price of an iPhone. Does that qualify as "incredibly cheap"? That is a laughable notion.
I just went to technical death metal and free jazz. It is a really nice selection of music subgenres.

(I did post a link on fb, but not the official reference. :-)

Point is, depending on their music selection size, I'll have a window open a long time (I'm not an expert on the internet radio stuff, but this seems good). Go use anononymous (edit: I meant -- in the web browser) if you really don't want to risk fb interaction.

Edit: My problem is having to turn on Flash.
On the other hand, nobody is enforcing you to address knights as "Sir", so no freedom is taken away from you. I know many doctors but rarely address them as "Dr"..
At this price, I'd question whether this is using the hacked Airplay encryption key that was posted on the internet. I can't see Apple being to happy about losing sale on AppleTVs because of this device.
Finding right person for your shaadi
Yeah, I was put off by "nice girls". first of all, they're "women". Second, yeah....just "models" will do fine. "Models" are attractive to any gender..."nice girls" caters to a male audience. Which I guess is the right assumption, and will continue to be, sadly.
Where "other" includes Motorola, LG, Sony, etc. Fringe brands? Give me a break.

The revenue figures for each company paint a clear picture of what their average phone sale is, and a better clue to where the bulk of the phones are predominantly sold.

Where is that picture clearly painted? You conveniently jumped a massive chasm in your other post, inventing numbers, and came up with "75% the price of an iPhone". Again, "incredibly cheap"? This is a ridiculous conversation.
Who cares about the money anyway?

I see my email (Google Apps) as the main point of contact for ME on the Internet. Not my Facebook, not my Twitter, not whatever else. If someone has to send me a file, it goes to my email. If I just met somebody new and we're not at "Facebook friendship level" (a friend of mine's phrase) then they get my email. Email email email.

I'm also perfectly happy to use my email as a notification zone, as it's probably the one place online where I will absolutely definitely 100% receive whatever message I'm sent.

With regards to the emails themselves, I'm actually almost against the kind of personalisation that the author here is recommending. "Hey, Jim, your tweet got retweeted!"

Yes, very impressive, you worked out how to insert a merge field. How could I possibly have known the message was for me if you hadn't put my name at the top there? I suddenly feel so very engaged.

I just think it's a bit disingenuous, almost a little dishonest, to try and pretend that an email update from a company is actually a letter written to you personally by some guy who works at said company.

The yes-please-reply@ address is a nice gimmick, but if you're sending messages to this address and receiving no response then what makes you think anyone's reading them at all?
Thank you. Before someone chimes in calling you a PC prick, it should be pointed out that sexism concerns aside, using "nice girls" is redundant and a waste of copy. Hopefully that appeals to the naysayers practical sense.

What is this conversation about?

Read the complaint. Ellen Pao, an extremely wealthy woman, has issues with virtually every partner at KPCB, one of whom she sleeps with and subsequently charges with sexual harassment years later. By her own admission, over a period of six years she continually complains about other partners and her compensation, title, and responsibilities. On the one hand she demands a transfer; yet on the other hand she wants the "harassers" to include her in meetings and emails and spends a full paragraph on the outrage of not being invited to a dinner party and another on ostensibly being excluded from a get together with junior associates.

She marries a man who made millions off of discrimination lawsuits. To top it off, she then launches her own discrimination lawsuit after seven years at the firm which made her so much money.

These are facts. They come from her filing:
http://techcrunch.com/2012/05/22/kleiner-perkins-sexual-hara...

If anyone believes these charges at face value they are simply credulous. She is looking for "monetary restitution", a multimillion dollar payday comparable to what her husband has squeezed out of others in his multiple discrimination lawsuits.

Man, sorry, I give up.
Nice idea, but we had a similar need a year ago and we bought the Sony wireless transmitter. It works flawlessly with pairing. (without pairing interferes with wifi). The sony just doesn't work with Mac, but it works through a USB connection because we use it for non iTunes stuff. We play live feeds most of the day on it. Your device would only be for itunes because it connects directly to wifi.
During the dot-com bubble there were IPOs where the P/E was far beyond 100. So it isn't totally crazy to think the market could whip people into a frenzy over the idea that 'they are getting in on the ground floor of the next google' What is crazy is to think that NASDAQ hasn't fixed it by now. If there were a lot of people out there who wanted to get in on the next big thing they would have put in market orders and those orders would have been filled by now.
I presume your talking about the github incident. As far as I know that was just a proof of concept. There wasn't an actual, malicious, black hat forged commit, was there?

Ugh, are you kidding? Charlie Rose is a terrible interviewer, fawning all over people he thinks have high status, and constantly interrupting and pissing on people he disagrees with. [He’s maybe better than cable news shows, but that’s a pretty low bar.] He asks far too many ridiculously leading questions, cuts off insightful lines of discussion by his guests to bring them back to whatever point he’s trying to make, and often just starts rambling about something irrelevant. His show is worth watching because of the fantastic quality of the guests, not his skill as an interviewer. My favorite Charlie Rose moment was maybe 10 or 15 years ago, in an interview with I think Bill Joy, but it might have been someone else. Charlie asked some rambling minute-second “don’t you agree that...” type question, and his guest responded with a bored look, “well, duh.”

Go listen to a couple of episodes of Terry Gross’s truly masterful interviews on Fresh Air, or watch interviews by, say, Bill Moyers, and then come back and watch an episode of Charlie Rose. Try paying attention to the different ways they lead an interview, and the resulting differences in the conversation. Often someone will be in the news or have a new book out, and will appear on both Charlie Rose and Fresh Air at about the same time; the Fresh Air interview is always dramatically better.

Can't the Raspberry Pi run an AirPlay receiver via XBMC? It costs less, and can stream 1080p video. The 3.5mm jack for audio output isn't ideal, but it can also run audio over HDMI if you're set up for that.

TuneBridge definitely looks like a more consumer focused option, but for the price you could put RPs in a nice case with custom software and still make a profit.

The research is a good idea, an investigation of the halo effect. The population of graders wasn't mentioned, that can have a huge effect on the result. Also, was 1000 people enough to analyze 12 variables?

However, I have to say, the graphs are ugly. Eg, spikes aren't good, you could have gone with with a bar chart. Also, 3d graphs are unneeded, and in general are very hard to do right. They can't convey much information. With just 2x2 variables, there are 4 datapoints. That would be fine on a 2d picture.

Otherwise keep on with the research...

So you have to connect to a wifi network that is created by the TuneBridge? Isn't this highly inefficient? When a user does this they will not have internet on their phone/ipod any more, it will make the device un-usable.

I got excited about this due to the cheeper price but lack of internet is a huge problem and it essentially "breaks" the device functionality. These devices were not meant to connect to wifi hotspots lacking internet conductivity. I have created wifi-hotspots with no internet conductivity in the past and it is hard to keep a device connected to it due to the device trying to find a real source of internet.

No, there's no need to consult the mailing list, except if you want to see the "legislative history" of the review process.

The person requesting the pull signs the pull request by signing the git tag. The GPG signature on the git tag covers the complete history of up to that point in the tag, so there's no need to sign each and every git commit, as you propose. When the upstream maintainer (or Linus, at the top level) accepts the pull request, git will automatically create a merge request that contains a copy of the git tag's GPG signature in the merge request. (After this point, the git tag can be discarded). When Linus releases something, he signs a git tag for the overall git repository, and everyone can check that.

So for example, when I am satisfied that everything in the ext4 tree that I want to push to Linus is OK, I create a signed tag named "ext4_for_linus", and send him a git pull request, which is created using the "git request-pull" command. This creates an e-mail message contains the URL of my git repository and the name of the signed tag. When Linus accepts my pull request, the resulting merge commit will contain a copy of my GPG signature from the git tag. This signature signs my name to the commit id of the git tag, and the chain of SHA-1 hashes inherent in git guarantees that the entire commits back to the beginning of time came from me. Of course, my changes will branch of something like v3.3-rc2, which is in Linus's tree, so what is being signed that is of interest is my new changes between v3.3-rc2 and the tip of the ext4 tree.

Once Linus has accepted my pull, I'll reuse the ext4_for_linus name for the next GPG-signed tag for the next 2-3 month development cycle, since the important bit (the GPG signature) is preserved for long-term posterity in the merge commit. But what's important to note here is that the signature in the merge commit is signed by me, since it contains the contents of what I pushed to Linus, even though the merge commit was created by Linus when he accepted the pull request by merging in my changes into the repository. What Linus signs is the GPG tag for the actual released kernel (i.e., v3.3).

See? So there's no need to refer to the mailing list to validate the pull request or to establish after-the-fact accountability. The mailing list is just used for review purposes. But of course the review is a critical part of the acceptance process.

WJW, 3 antennas!
From personal experience:

I've lost a bit more than a hundred (yes, 100) pounds during the last year. My social skills have improved due to an increase in my confidence.

But here is the interesting part.

People do treat me much better. I get more respect. More smiles. They think I am more intelligent, and show this by listening to what I have to say.

And even though I am an introvert, and somewhat shy, people tell me how "social" I am.

I have not changed the way I dress (jeans, t-shirt, sneakers). Though when I'm wearing exercise clothing (running shorts, a sleeveless shirt, running shoes), people are more likely to approach me.

So, this person does have a good point. We are indeed judged by our appearances. In fact, our social standing is calculated on the fly by others on how we look.
