I would, and once I get my shirt I would wear it or not, depending on what's in the back, my advise to you would be to allow people ordering the shirts to pick what company or design they'll have in the back, I might have a problem wearing merchandise of companies that don't sit well with my lifestyle (e.g. as a vegetarian, I wouldn't wear the shirt of a company that primarily sells meat, like McDonald's).

Offering the people that are wearing the shirts a mix of back designs (say, three different ad designs to pick from for Whole Foods or any other advertiser) would be a plus to improve adoption.
As far as I know, it's this:

Facebook's IPO roadshow started around May 7th. This was basically Zuckerberg and the underwriters going around and selling stock to investors.

On May 9th, Facebook released an updated S-1 filing to the SEC. This was made public at the time. It's here:

http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1326801/0001193125122...

Immediately after that, the underwriters(Morgan Stanley, Goldmans, and Merrill Lynch) updated their growth estimates downward to reflect the fact that Facebook made less money in Q1 2012 than in Q1 2011. They notified a subset of their paying clients about this. That's where part of the issue is. SEC rules also bar underwriters from making public statements about IPO's that they're involved in, which is probably the primary reason that the analysis was not made public.

EDIT: More context.
The default apps work fine for me... I use "notes" and sync it with my google account using the default mail app. The only 3rd party app I use a lot is "WhatsApp" - and that's just to text some friends around the globe.

I then have a few games and some useful server monitoring apps... as well as some comics. 3-4 pages of 3rd party apps maybe? But none of them replace the defaults for me...
Maybe I missed this... What is the target retail price? I see that a contribution of $60 will get you one; is that the target price too?
It depends on the advert.

If it was a cool brand which I would like to associate with, then yes, I would wear and photograph myself in it.

If it was a brand which I don't intend to associate myself with, then no, I wouldn't wear it much less have a photo of me in it

This is extremely shady behaviour by these institutions. I would love to see them get severely disciplined about this by having to make good investor losses but cannot see them getting more than a smacked hand.

I always thought Facebook was overvalued at something like a PE ration of 70+ at issue but this is no excuse for the way these companies released the analyst information.

Why running a startup is like playing poker
@klez

What exactly do you do? The reason I ask is because 50 hours a week I'm an Auto Tech. The remaining hours that I'm awake I code. This week my project has been reverse engineering a pc based scanner that I have to learn about how it interacts with OBDII / CAN in an attempt to make a super tool that gives me specific abilities. The people I deal with during day know nothing of computers and the people I deal with at night know nothing of cars.

You are the first person that I have ever heard mention both in the same post.
"The guy should be in the dock"

While I am no fan of ex-Sir Fred I'm struggling to think of what criminal offence he should be charged with.
That was my first impression from skimming the page. Now that I have looked at it again, it's obviously not what it seemed to be.

The pattern of "Get one, give back 3, receive something back" is the pyramid/Ponzi pattern. Basically your copy needs to change, it's heavy. Drop the numbered list, get to the point faster and more succulently.

Also, somewhat related. Have you seen this - http://www.iwearyourshirt.com ?

This is really common. One reason you IPO is to monetize your investment in the company.

That's not true at all. Their claims about wind tunnels are also ludicrous. Take a peak at the Reynold's number wikipedia page sometime. That's EXACTLY how aerospace engineers do preliminary calculations: by scaling aerodynamic factors (which is completely viable with a nearly incompressible fluid like low speed air).

The idea that it gets MORE efficient by having more cargo violates the energy equation. Literally. That concept was disproved (utterly) when the sound barrier was broken.

I call shenanigans.
I believe most of that was sold specifically to pay the taxes he owed. Not all of his holdings were just subject to long term capital gains (deferred until realization). Some were some kind of RSU or option like deal which were taxable at the IPO.
Oracle Buys Vitrue for $300 Million
What do you think of our tech podcast pivot?
Just to expand, the Guardian mentions this as well.

In essence, the lawsuit revolves around MS and GS passing bad news round internally without publicly broadcasting it publicly - a form of insider trading.

The SEC is also investigating regarding this and similar matters.
Because someone else would do it, leaving your customers wondering what the fuck your problem is? Sneaky tricks to get your customer to needlessly waste your product so they'll buy more of it are bush-league bullshit. No one at Heinz will subscribe to your reasoning.

They might decide it isn't worth the cost, or that it could expose them to health-related lawsuits (I'm worried about that myself, there's "non-toxic" and then there's non-toxic), but no one would think this shouldn't be incorporated into existing products because people will waste a little less.
I can't say that these are my big pain points. Intents are elegant, but apps are a comfortable model. Just as everyone has been conditioned by the modern web to "open webpage X to do action X", you "open app X to do action X". The workflow isn't as elegant, but in blurring the line between the app and the document I'd argue that they've done most users a favor. You'd be amazed at how few people are aware of the "open with" dialogue in Windows.

More than intents and access, I think apps need more memory and the ability to do some background processing. I keep going back to Safari because the fine third party alternatives seem to fall out of memory much more easily.

My biggest pain point with iOS is waiting for web enabled apps to load data. I'd like to see the top 5 pictures on my Instagram feed and the top 10 or so Facebook updates the instant I click the app icon. I'd like Dropbox and Kindle to refresh my document list whenever it changes. I'd like cloud-enabled notes apps to sync/update before I open the app. Of course, this requires some management (user controls,bandwidth limits, battery level, etc.), but nothing Apple can't handle.
Yeah - one of the piano guys plays cello...go figure :)
Last time something from judg.me was posted, there was a lot of criticism about your statistical methods of analysis. You've clearly put a lot of effort into attempting to do a better analysis of the data, and this time there's certainly an improvement in terms of actual analytical methods used.

However, the graphs (as others have said) are terrible. Simply having a graph type available to you doesn't mean you have to use it! For the sake of your readers, please, please, only use one type of graph. Stick with a plain bar chart. Nobody minds that it's not as fancy looking as a pseudo-3D bar chart or one with pointed cones. People want to see the data, not the fancy chart.

An additional point to this is labelling your axes. Please do it! If I can't see clearly what an axis represents, I'm inclined to ignore your data. Regardless of how interesting your data is, I'm going to stop reading if it's presented terribly.

These are the sorts of things that get hammered into you in scientific subjects at school/college. You don't need to do that type of class to know them though. There's plenty of information online about this stuff.[1] Worth noting is section 2.6, "Do not misuse the tools". Bad graphs are to statistics what the <blink> tag is to HTML.

No, this was actually the plan since the beginning, before IPO. They had a filing with the SEC stating they were going to do this (Peter Thiel also sold 16.8 million of his shares as part of this).
That's what is interesting though, will it mean that over time Apple will eventually have to start dropping their various restrictions one by one. Or does it mean as you suggested that they will just try and co-opt all the good stuff that everybody else is doing into their own software/devices which could lead to them spending large amounts of manpower essentially running on a treadmill.
Why Facebook still doesn't look cheap
Yeah, you're right, his stake in it is only $18bn or so after this.

What sort of half hearted investment is that?
What does what happens after your order is filled have to do with your limit order execution price?

If you want protection from price decreases after a buy, also put in a stop order (which will turn into a market order) or a stop limit order (which ensures execution at the specified limit price) but which may not execute if the price movement is highly volatile.
Nope, 90 days. And Mark, and a bunch of early players, like Eduardo Saverin, GS and others sold during the IPO.
I never tried this out in IE before, but it doesn't seem to be working in IE9. Can anyone else confirm?
I actually agree with you, but I'd want to see how a basic CRUD webapp looks written in this style; a lot of things that seem simple to do in a pure-functional style become harder when you're working in a multicomponent system and accessing a database.

A more theoretical criticism: this seems like it would encourage programming in top-down style with all the disadvantages that has.
We can start living simpler life with fewer needs and be content and happy until some more aggressive, more ambitious people come and destroy us, as happened to some in history.

Wow! The life hacker recovery points were great.

1. Less lifehacking, more life-designing

2. The best app/tool/gadget/hack for the job is the one you have with you.

3. The least possible (practical) amount of organization is best.

4. You are very important, but only to certain people. Make sure you identify them correctly.

If you only try implement one of these you got to moving in the right direction.
Sudo has authentication timeouts built in, so you don't have to type in your password (your password, not root's) every time you want to run an administrative program. Also, the fact that you have to sudo is one of the reasons why Unix is more secure than the Windows "administrator by default" approach.

As for your last point, you're complaining about nano. It would be perfectly possible for an editor to sudo when writing to disk.

I think lawsuits happen anytime there is big money to be made. Goldman, Morgan Stanley, and Facebook have hundreds of billions of dollars. They can settle for tens or hundreds of millions of dollars without batting an eye. That pays off for the lawyers and potentially the claimants in a life changing way.
It's not worth $108 billion, it never was - never will be.

This was a scam. A Ponzi Pyramid Scheme. A cash-grab.

Actually, if you read their Kickstarter, they claim to be getting better fuel efficiency with higher cargo weight. They claim this is because it somehow lowers their drag. They also claim that L/D is unimportant for their aircraft, which is why a scaled test is useless to them, even in a wind tunnel. This doesn't pass the smell test for this AE.

Whilst noone would talk ever talk or gossip about her engagements, I'd like to think that most people are at least aware of her existence; particularly given her competing in the Olympics and huge visibility as Britain's IOC representative and huge visibility in the run-up to this year's games.

I think it's a good idea. Not everyone will wear any type of t-shirt, so maybe you should find a way to match people to brands. For example, I'd wear a t-shirt advertising technology companies whose products I use, but I wouldn't wear a Ford t-shirt because I am a Toyota/Honda guy.

DoneDone.me - a todo list, in reverse
All-

I just spent an amazing week at a health and spiritual retreat in Arizona. Besides the incredible sense of calm and focus I feel, I also now have a better understanding of what it means to be productive, and how perfection, by its very definition, can never be achieved for all of us with perfectionist natures.

I used to look back at my day and say, what the HELL did I do today? and feel completely unproductive, simply because I didn't launch SOMETHING or complete SOMETHING. Now I understand that accomplishing a goal means understanding what it takes to get there.

Anyway, I spent a few hours creating the world's simplest app - DoneDone.me. It lets you quickly record what you DID today, instead of what you are going to do. I've been using it for a few days now and, quite frankly, I feel better. I feel like I am accomplishing a lot more then I realized.

So I thought I would share - http://donedone.com. It's nothing special, but if it helps just one of you I'm happy.

p.s. yes it's on heroku so it might be slow.

p.s.s. it's responsive and designed to be saved to your iPhone home screen if you want (plus fun calm icon if done)
I agree. In Go break is the default, and there's an explicit 'fallthrough' statement.

Winning People with Code
I think you're missing Xion's point and taking the opportunity to complain about a pet peeve you have with the platform.

Personally, I couldn't agree more with what he's saying. Users of other platforms (like Android) have had the ability for apps to interoperate (with intents, for example) since the very beginning, and IOS is dramatically behind in this regard.
C# doesn't have fallthrough at all, but it won't compile without "break;". I'm really not sure what they were going for there.
ITA on Python(2007)
I would sign up for this service, on both ends... to get a t-shirt and to advertise on t-shirts (provided I could get in on a very small scale - a few t-shirts).

As others have said, whether I would wear the shirt depends on the ad. It would be great if I could see the ad before the shirt was sent.

Also, the word 'order' almost turned me off. it immediately suggests I'd have to pay.
Facebook's IPO: the list of incompetents

No, because I simply do not see the value of receiving a free t-shirt with advertising.

Also, it seems like a relatively significant commitment from a person who signed up because you're asking them to upload three pictures of themselves in the t-shirt (for either another free t-shirt or "credit").

However, I'm interested to hear more about your business model and I hope your idea does well.

Presumably,and I may be way off here, you're sub-contracting out the screen-printing of the t-shirts. And, as I understand it, the cost of producing t-shirts can be significant and you would probably have to hold a large inventory of t-shirts in various sizes.

- What kind of advertiser are you trying to appeal to?

- Does an advertiser pay only when there's evidence that the t-shirts are worn? Or why do you have to upload three pictures of yourself in the t-shirt?

- Roughly, what kind of margins are you expecting to get?

- Are you trying to focus in a local region or nationally?

- What happens with any left over inventory?

Lastly, I may be interested in a t-shirt that combines an advertising with "pop art", but that's just a quick idea...

Edit: Clarified the first sentence.

Yup. Twenty billion in shares is just a number in a book somewhere if you never sell.
Strongly disagree. The python website has always felt like one of the last bastions of function over form; it's not slick, but the content you actually want is right there without any distractions. If it turns into one of these 30%-margin, rounded-corners sites with half the text I'll be sad.

Makes total sense when you remember C's assembly roots. On most architectures including the PDP-11, the program counter just moves to the next instruction. To make it do anything different, you need a jump instruction, and that's what the "break" means.

Call me skeptical but I have a hard time believing that people of their calibre failed to notice that facebook's growth projections were massively overstated.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was the intention all along. They knew the projections were massively optimistic and knew they'd have a watertight case (this is pure skeptical speculation) when the inevitable happened.
