Mos' def. They now have a reason to start looking at a revenue sources that aren't based on ads.

Every time I hear about a startup trying to shoe in an ad-based business model where you could make money selling directly or via high value intent-based referral fees to complementary businesses I cringe a bit. A lot of the time ads as a revenue stream are a total cop out that demonstrate a total lack of business sense an ability to spot value.

Google is successful in ads because they are a generalist intent capture platform. Unless your business also happens to capture generalist intent, you should be thinking about referral revenue based on focused intents.
The key line for me here is that the future is in 'easily created domain specific experiences'. I think this is very eloquently stated and can't agree more.

I like what Light table is trying to do, hoewver it is still working in pretty much the same 'domain' space as existing IDE's ('code'), and trying to improve on the 'easily created... experiences' part.

As the post is waxing lyrical, my piece to add to the broad-concept discussion is that I'd really like to see more programs which try to be applicable to a broad variety of non-coding domains, which actually occupy the majority of the work that people do on computers (working with images, working with spreadsheets, working with documents and pages, working with 3d spaces, animation, realtime information, etc.), allowing the easy creation of 'domain specific experiences' in these, which is generally impossible or very difficult in most of todays pre-compiled software for these tasks.

[I hope that all makes sense to someone :) Would also appreciate any discussion as something along these lines is a side-project of mine atm]

> "He is complaining about how the casino operated, not how he bet."

This is exactly right.

I have no sympathy for a gambler who gets beat because he made the wrong read or the wrong play. I have no sympathy for a trader who loses money because he was wrong about the market.

But when a gambler gets beat because the casino kept misdealing the cards, or a trader loses big money because the exchange botched the trade, he has every right to complain. The system is supposed to operate according to certain rules, which failed in this case and cost some people a lot of money. Maybe they would've lost the money anyway, but that's something that should be determined by the market, not by a NASDAQ glitch.

What is it about google that causes people to throw all of their thinking ability out the window?

This isn't some conspiracy to inundate you with ads, this has nothing to do with building "crawlers" for meatspace (seriously?).

This is a multi billions dollar industry that is potentially as large as google is on the internet, but in "meatspace".

This is as disruptive as google was to the internet, probably moreso. Actually, almost certainly moreso. Our ties to automobiles dictate the way cities are built, and the way that we interact with our environment.

Gee whiz, google employs an absolute shitload of brilliant engineers and encourages them to work on side projects. It appears that some of them have built something.

NO NO! Must be some alterior motive! Couldn't be that google is a business, and this is a viable revenue stream for them!
Yeah. Air keeps getting pumped in. It's unlikely that the Facebook IPO not blowing up on the first day will be enough to let out all the air of the bubble or at least let it out faster than it is getting put in. The truth is that the market for all other types of equity and debt based securities is pretty shit right now and that tech startups are relatively attractive psychologically to investors because they provide hope and the dream of a better future. Most other investment types involve a lot more cold and calculating decisions and don't benefit from irrational investment behaviors.

What they're doing is actually a violation of their email marketing software provider's Terms of Service (specifically, the Anti-Spam Policy - http://www.campaignmonitor.com/anti-spam/).

That policy clearly states that "This checkbox must not be checked by default, the person completing the form must willingly select the checkbox to indicate they want to hear from you."

Having no checkbox AND no indication you're joining any sort of list breaks the rules set by their provider.

I am sorry about you loss. The frustration must be tremendous, especially since we know the fault was so clearly on their system's part. How can you make $400MM (last year) and yet cannot come up with robust bullet proof transactional system, no idea.. Ain't that vicious on their part that the rules of game change when there is no other place to "gamble". Bet this 2648 (or whatever rule # it is) would not stand a chance when NASDAQ just started, but now it is "play with us or don't play at all".

Ps. Do you think there is any business behind being a "trade insurer"? Similar to car accidents, every high volume trader would be given an options to be insured up to X amount by paying substantially smaller Y fee.
Wowzers, that's a really nice compliment! Thanks!
Find me one employee who would feel ripped off that their 5000, 10000, or 100000 sell at even $20 instead of some hypothetical number could have been achieved by better hypothetical management. Oh those poor people, should have taken the offer to work at _____ instead?
In terms of inflating/deflating, then calling it a balloon might be more apt. Generally bubbles don't even inflate they just exist or pop.
He quit because he found type classes to be both insufficient and a lot of trouble for this purpose. My impression is that he would love to work on a new language targeting the same problem but making some different engineering tradeoffs. I hope he manages to secure funding so he can do that, BitC was a very interesting project.

It seems to me that a fleet of driverless information-gathering cars would be a natural component of a world with driverless cars. Primarily they'd be used for continuously mapping roads for any potentially useful information or dangers, eg lane closures, construction, potholes, etc. From there, though, there's no reason you wouldn't naturally start gathering more information: traffic, weather conditions, strength of cell/wifi signals, ambient noise levels, and all sorts of other things. A highly distributed network of sensors could provide all sorts of interesting information.

(Note that there's no reason that they'd even have to be empty cars. I see no reason why every car couldn't or wouldn't be decked out with sensors and reporting back to Google.)

I've seen talk of CPU-less render-to-vertexbuffer dating back to 2004, but I've never dug into how to actually do it until now. From what I can dig out, it requires PBOs which are not available in ES2. I guess copying back and forth over the bus via gl.bufferData(ARRAY_BUFFER, gl.readPixels(...), gl.STREAM_DRAW)) is still better than doing the math in JS. I might have to try combining the glReadPixels with the mapped buffer extension that is available on the iPhone P:

Sweet indeed. Certainly makes Obj C a little bit more concise.
Dependent typing is really neat, but it introduces some new problems. Namely, the type checker becomes Turing complete. We have other examples of this level of complexity turning out to be manageable (C++ templates, for example, and the Hindley-Milner algorithm which turns out to be super-exponential in the worst case) but the power of dependent typing is begging to be used and abused to a greater degree.

I have some hope for Rust because their type invariants system (I forget what they're calling it) lets you glue some of this information to variables in a compelling way without necessarily having to solve all the theoretical and practical problems that come with full dependent typing.

We'll see, I guess.

While it may be technically valid, artifice in modern usage is probably most commonly associated with deception & fakery. So, as a job title, I'd say it sounds pretentious and a bit out of touch, like someone who right clicked on the word "engineer" and espoused an adventitious synonym in order to have the earmarks of sagacity.
I always assumed the reason for the intrusive security checks was that at some high level, our government felt another terror attack was very likely, and they didn't want anyone to be able to say they weren't doing anything after it happened again. So perhaps it is to prevent rioting in the streets after an attack as much as to prevent the attack itself.
Interesting supposition, that the IPO might have gone down much differently if somehow NASDAQ had been more prepared or messed something up. But the last statement - that it could have been trading at $60 and $70, that is hard to believe.
This guy is a moron. Anybody who believes the stock would be at $70 if "the market" worked better doesn't understand how markets work in theory or practice. If there are people who really believe the stock is worth $70, there would have been buyers the past two days. Expecting "hype" around the IPO to support ONE HUNDRED BILLION dollars of extra valuation is beyond stupid.

Given the number of patents in existence at the moment and the complex wording, if someone didn't tell you what something was called you probably wouldn't be able to find their patent. Security through obscurity.
No, it's not nonsensical (aside: not a particularly polite way to disagree). It's not entirely clear that this is a priced round. Even if it was, Jamie is right-- they could have raised that money selling anywhere from 10% to 50% of their company.
As the article points out, technical glitches are covered in the rules. When you invest you accept these rules, if the hedge fund manager has a problem with the rules then he should not be investing. Therefore no rules were broken as the article points out, it's a stock exchange they aren't dumb they know how to cover their bases (they're bankers after all). He isn't the only one affected by this situation.

The bottom line is he would have lost money regardless of NASDAQ's handling of the situation, Facebook stock flopped. This guy needs to cut his losses and take it like a man, he isn't the only one who invested in Facebook stock and lost out, I wouldn't rule out others losing larger sums of money too ashamed to even anonymously come forward.

It might sound spiteful, but it's life. Unexpected things happen like these and there's nothing that can be done. I'm sure the SEC will be investigating everything shortly anyway, so we'll see what happens (if any action is taken, which is possible).

You would thinking that cute intelligent alpha male buying you coffee while the two of you pleasantly chat would be enough for people.

Also, as a potential employee, you can skip the standard application process and HR interviews (maybe they will have a formal interview process later) of most companies talk with a guy who is very likely going to be your boss should you get hired. This with almost no time investment on your side and your free to say your not interested and leave. Let me know next time your at a coffee shop in Florida. And I don't even like coffee.
Those are interesting comments you should probably email to the authors. Contact info should be on their website.

The general goal of this part of the spec, I think, is to deal with the case where an attacker forges a pin (using his own key) for a third-party site.

Think firesheep, where the attacker could make a fake pin for yahoo.com and send it to all coffee shop patrons. If the victim had not visited yahoo.com before, their browser would cache the fake pin, and it would report errors when the real one was seen.

To prevent the user from having to manage a known-hosts file by hand, like ssh, they went the route of making it take a second visit before a TACK pin is activated and the interval it is valid for is related to the delta between first and last visits.

SSH takes the route of forcing the user to verify the host key the very first time it's seen, and then it has an infinite lifetime. The user has to manually delete it to restart the cycle.

That wouldn't fly if it's a browser and your grandfather, so they came up with something more clever but slightly less secure in one specific way.
I thought the scary part was the pink my-little-pony wielding a battle-axe that Pinkie Pie chose as his ("his?" ... i assume) mascot. ;) But then, different things scare different people different ways, and maybe I've just become numb the Windows-scare already.
>>But tips are the most transparent part of restaurant pricing.

How and why are tips considered a part of 'pricing'?

Here in my country(India) I don't tip anybody, unless service delivered is exceptional. That is very important, because for an incentive to remain an incentive, it must be paid only when good work is done. Else it looses its value. Mandatory tips don't motivate servers, it just makes them complacent that they can do job as usual while they will be tipped anyway.

If tips are compulsory, they should make it a part of the bill. Something like 'Added 15% tip' and ask us to pay it as a part of the bill.

In such cases fast food restaurants will flourish, because no one wants to pay somebody a reward just for doing their job, like everybody does their job.

And please don't tell me how difficult servers are having it. Because every person who is working to make a living is having it difficult a way or the other. I work many hours in a month fire fighting, attending calls, working on late night issues, and sprinting towards deadlines. But I'm assumed to be OK with all that without being paid. I don't go around asking for tips.

Tip is not longer a tip when its mandatory, its more like service charges. I am OK with that, And will try to avoid such restaurants because I see no point in paying a service charge, when I can carry my food to the table.
> Vector operations and such... Well, in reality, they probably would slow down the processor, compared to having many atomic instructions, RISC being faster to execute than CISC and all that.

Vector operations are about expressing data parallelism to the processor. Parallelism/concurrency is the only thing that will save us past the end of Moore's Law. It has very little to do with fast MMX/SSE lanes.
I would estimate that the exits that are sooner tend to be smaller.
I wouldn't worry about it. Any company that requires open source contributions hasn't thought very hard about their hiring process. They would be excluding the vast majority of talented (and especially professional) programmers.

It's probably most useful as a bullet point to attract a recruiter's attention. So commit a line of code somewhere and stick it on your resume.

Not to say you shouldn't work on an open source project. But do it because it's something that interests you, not for your resume.

Linux was dependent on BitKeeper for about three years. Git was written from scratch and hosting Linux in a period of three months. Linus's use of a technology he didn't create is closer to a death knell than an endorsement.

Would you rather have stock today in MySpace or a hypothetical 5-year-old SubversionHub? Obviously, the answer is different for different people, and there are good reasons to support and use Github and good reasons to invest in it. That programmers are good at product loyalty simply isn't one of them.

Github is a decent medium-term bet, but Pinterest is a much better lottery ticket.

Pessimistic is realistic. Most businesses fail.
A mashup that is a cross of Geeklist (for credibility), StackOverflow (for topic listing and determining expertise) and this (to negotiate the details of getting people together) would be useful in those cases where one developer would like to spend 30 minutes picking the brains of a better developer.

For example, many a time I've spent 30+ minutes helping "orient" another developer with respect to backbone.js development.

However, right now I'm in need of 30 minutes to sit down and talk with someone who's implemented OAuth from the point of view of the API provider (not API consumer), and organizing your DB to manage developer accounts and permissions assigned to each "registered app" and it's hard to find the person whose 30 minutes of orientation would save me innumerable hours of research just to figure out what is worth knowing and worth exploring further.

Being able to accumulate karma based on spending 30 minutes here and there helping others and then spending it with others would be awesome. It would basically be a "productized" version of those "Offer HN" posts.
I think it's on a par with getting an update every now and then from a store you've bought something from. The 'subscription' is rarely disclosed in this case, but there's understood to be a 'relationship'.

I had a look through MailChimp's TOS and it could be interpreted a few ways but this sort of 'existing relationship' thing is covered, although it pertains to a purchase rather than a freebie.
