The CurrentUserResolver example in the README shows that some initialisation control is possible here.

This is the dependency injection part, not the policy/service/responder core of the framework I am talking about.

There don't have to be. The classes and instances are being referred to by the developer in the same way as any first-class functions defined elsewhere would be - they're actually resolved and called by the framework.

I am not talking about what happens on the level of Ruby, I am talking about what happens logically at the level of the framework. The classes represent functions, sure, but they do not call other functions (services/policies/responders), the only "function-calling" is done by the router. Yes, this too is a form of functional programming, the form known as dataflow programming where the flow of the data is described explicitly.

It certainly is OO. There are instances, and they receive and act on messages. Yes, there's a dataflow-like DSL for routing, but that's not to the exclusion of other paradigms.

It isn't OO at the level of the framework. Yes, Ruby is underneath, there are classes, there are instances, and the thin ORM layer is object oriented, but the objects within the framework do not exchange messages, the only object doing all the message dispatch is the router. This is not OO, just look at the traits listed here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object-oriented_programming

The framework basically forces you to abandon messaging (since there is no exchange of messages, just single directional messages flow from the router), abandon encapsulation (since the services have to access the data of the domain objects and hence the domain objects must make their data available to everyone) and abandon polymorphism (since the services are statically dispatched by the router). How can this be object oriented?

The key here for me is the emphasis on ensuring that code that carries risk (i.e. business logic) must be protected from regression – and that testing is a good way to achieve that, rather than preaching for a particular approach such as TDD/BDD/XDD.

In reality I see quite a few successful approaches of reaching the goal of protecting code from regression and giving us the confidence to change it.

There are 3 relevant costs for a single Shuttle mission.

There is the incremental cost. How much it would take to squeeze in another Shuttle mission in a given year, if possible. That cost was around $450 million in the last two decades or so of the Shuttle program. This is a useful cost estimate if you need to decide how much it's going to cost to launch or not launch a single Shuttle mission, for example, but doesn't actually give you a sense of how much it costs to operate the Shuttle overall. As an analogy, if you have a car and you want to decide whether you can hop in and make a long drive to a nearby city the cost that is relevant to you just then is the cost of just the gas to get there. However, the actual cost to you should take into account maintenance, insurance, oil changes, parking, car washes, tires, etc.

So, there is also the overall "operational cost" per flight, which takes into account all of the cost of the fixed overhead (Shuttle personnel, mission control, etc.) for the Shuttle program. In the latter years of the program this cost was around $1 billion per flight, though it fluctuated from year to year based on flight rate. There were a few years where NASA still spent billions of dollars on the Shuttles and yet no flights were happening (after Challenger and Columbia), for example. This is probably the fairest measurement of Shuttle costs since it tells you how much it costs to keep the Shuttle program going.

Finally, there is the total cost to the tax payers of the entire Shuttle program from development through the last flight, divided by the total number of flights. This is about $1.5 billion per launch. It's the best "what if we'd done something else instead of build the Shuttle" cost estimate and gives us a sense of the opportunity cost of STS but it's not entirely the best cost for deciding whether to keep the program running (since it includes sunk costs that shouldn't affect future decision making).

By any measure the Shuttle was far and away the most expensive launch vehicle to be used so frequently.

Even if they could do all that it is still wild guesswork with too many possibilies. And the effectity of that fantasy also assumes that there is endless supply of advertisers from all different industries. The reality is that if, for example, only some dating sites and hosting companies are willing to pay for ads that match your profile then it is only dating and server hosting ads that you will see.

It's hard to imagine Facebook going the way of Yahoo. Facebook has a relentless focus on their product and continuing to ship and push the envelope. I don't know too much detail of Yahoo history, but it seems like they took their eye of the ball early and started spreading themselves really thin across a ton of disparate products and acquisitions.

I don't see anybody blindsiding Facebook on social the way Yahoo was blindsided by search. The bigger risk seems to be that there is simply no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow to justify a 100B valuation IPO valuation, thus souring everyone on FB and social before we see what the true potential was.
You handled it better than I would have. I wouldn't have rescinded the DMCA. I cannot stand people who make false accusations, are self-righteous and/or act like they are blameless when they themselves are at fault.

If the person genuinely cared about their charitable work their first email would have said. "What do I need to do to get my sites up ASAP."

Their anger should have been directed at GoDaddy. If I had received the emails you had I would have responded after 12-24 hours with. "I do not respond to slanderous, false or abusive emails. If you would like to discuss this issue please reword your email"

The term Lifehack is just a catchy term to describe ways of optimising the things you do, that has slowly turned into a way of short-cutting things so you can fit even more stuff that isn't fun into your day.

Realistically, the only reason you should use lifehacks is to free your time up for things you enjoy. I occasionally use the pomodoro technique to get things done, but gave up massive GTD lists a long time ago.

I used to use super-organised lists and manage my time GTD-style, but I found that the big problem was whatever I did, there was always more stuff to do. In the end I just left it. No matter what I do work-wise, there will always be more. All you can do is set time limits and work within them.

Nowadays I just use Wunderlist to list what I currently need to do that's urgent, then cut off at 6pm. I never take phone calls after 8pm unless it's from my wife or family, which makes my life a whole lot simpler outside of work. The only downside is that I typically work a 6 day week. Still working on that, but I'm grateful that what I do for work is mostly actually fun.

When does a website spread itself merely by means of the Facebook Like button?
I recently soft launched a website by publishing a status update on my personal Facebook Wall. My goal was to get very early feedback from my friends and see to what extent the site would spread beyond my friends. I calculated that I got about 40 of my friends to Like my site (and Liking means that a link to my site automatically is posted on their wall, so that their friends can see it and Like it also). The total number of Likes at this point is 125 and has stagnated. Of the 125 Likes, 40 are my own friends, and 85 are people that are unknown to me. I have not done any marketing outside of the initial Facebook status update (there are no links to my site from blogs, Google, etc), so I am pretty sure that this can be viewed as a closed system with Facebook as the only spreading mechanism.

Now, to my back-of-the-envelope hypothesis: if for every Like I get, if that Like results in 0.7 more Likes every time I go one more degree outside of my own circle of friends, then the numbers would seem to add up correctly to the 125 Likes.

In other words:

40 of my friends Liked the site;
28 of my friends' friends liked it (40 x 0.7 = 28);
20 of my friends' friends' friends liked it (28 x 0.7 = 20);
14...;
10...;
7....;
5....;
3....;
2....;
1....;
0....;
SUM = 130 (ie pretty much 125)

And yes, I can think of ways that this calculation could be flawed, but I am not looking for an exact answer; I would be willing to tolerate a fair amount of error as long as the answer is systemically correct.

Continuing on, and for lack of better terminology, I am going to denote 0.7 as the "magic number". In my opinion, as long as the magic number > 1.0, and there are endless degrees of circles of friends out there, my site will eventually take over the universe. As we all know though, those assumptions do not hold, so I am interested in finding out what the magic number has to be for me to be able to open up a Jolt Cola and sit back and comfortably watch the number of Likes grow steadily, and at a moderately increasing pace. Would the magic number have to be 1.2? 1.5? Finally, when does it go viral? 3.0? 5.0? 10.0?

I would be very curious if anyone else has done any similar calculations, or if anyone can reject my initial hypothesis.

SMS is probably the root of quite a few Twitter restrictions, not just this one.

there any theft? Nobody stole anything. Just another example of why the DMCA is
a very bad law and needs to go away. Ideally along with copyright as a whole.

So you've redefined the word free to make it meaningless.

Giving a way food to homeless people? You're getting the satisfaction of having done something good in return! That wasn't a free meal!
You think that it is knee-jerk hyperbole because you
do not take account to the user the risk of using
the service.

The risk means that even if Google provides the
service free, it still can have a cost for the
user that can be very high depending on the
importance of the emails the user is locked out of.

It also means that the cost is invisible 99% of
the time, which is why people keep using Google
services. After all, most companies that offer
network services mitigate the risk for the
user by allowing the user to contact them for
help if things go wrong.

For example, Amazon Web Services and Microsoft
both allow you to purchase support. However,
Google seem to only provide support when they
decide to invite you to it.

In my personal case, my main email of 16 years
is becoming increasingly spammed. I needed to
find another email to migrate to, and decided
to try out Gmail. Gmail has failed my evaluation.
Of all the car I worked on (mostly Mitsubishi and Ssangyong) very few of them had non-standard procedures for erasing DTCs.

I don't know what you mean by 'erasing the emission monitor', unless you mean the freeze frame, which usually gets erased when you erase DTCs with the standard 0x14 request.

Anyway I work exactly as you do, by reverse-engineering official tools.

And I'm not very knowledgeable about cars anyway :)
Before Survivor entered Reality Television into the collective unconscious, there was already a predecessor: Judge Judy. Judge Judy was precisely the sort of arbiter that judge.me aspires to be -- including the somewhat-misleading terminology about "courts" and "judges", even though the arbiter is not strictly bound by local laws but rather by the arbiter's whims -- also they probably excluded the $150 cost to bring the lawsuit, since they instead sold ads. Actually, if you told the reality TV folk about Judge Judy nowadays they would probably ask the audience to text in votes which would determine the ruling, and the "judge" would mostly be a mediator and host who would decide what evidence was "admissible" for the public's consumption or so.

Judge.me might in these respects be a difficult sell. If it is ideologically anarcho-capitalist, then that provides robustness against corruption: but it also means that your 'judges' might simply say "yes there is this nuance in your country's law, but I don't like it and it seems too complicated, so I'm just going to ignore it." There doesn't seem to be an appeals process if this happens. So the lawyers of large corporations might be very hesitant to turn over their contracts to something so seemingly whimsical. I don't know. I am not sure that this acts to further anarcho-capitalist idealism, but it will probably work for its purpose as long as that idealism exists in the first place.
It is clearly their plan to do this, and in line with their stated intent to form the "identity layer" for the web. It's unlikely to work though, because the web has a great tendency to upset the plans of those who want to basically control the whole thing. It's sure that some kind of identity layer will come into use, but an open system (maybe a descendant of OpenID, maybe not) will always have the advantage of allowing myriad people and (importantly) companies to do different things with it. And that's the kind of evolutionary openness that saw off AOL in the 90's in favour of the web.

Watch The Natural Birth Of A Baby
I'm going from memory here, so am possibly treading on thin ice, but I believe your numbers are on the high side. To my recollection, the marginal cost of each shuttle flight (additional consumables and labour) was on the order of $65M to $120M -- a seeming bargain. But the fixed cost of maintaining the Shuttle workforce -- the "standing army" of over 25,000 people -- was around $2.2B per year, which worked out to $300M to $600M per launch, depending on the flight rate. So in the pre-Challenger high-flight-rate days, it was possible to launch a Shuttle for around $400M total, but as NASA became more cautious in later years and the flight rate dropped, the cost of each mission climbed precipitously.

I believe you're correct about the all-up amortised cost of the entire Shuttle program. An expensive beast by any measure.

Much of SpaceX's cost-effectiveness comes from clever engineering, of course -- but a larger part comes from making sensible managerial decisions to minimise workforce costs. They don't split their workforce into umpteen zillion congressional districts in order to keep their political base satisfied; this minimises coordination costs and allows for a vastly more appropriate manager:engineer ratio. This has allowed them to develop and run the Falcon and Dragon vehicles with less than 1/10th the workforce that the Shuttle required. At the end of the day, that actually matters a hell of a lot more than achieving absolute engineering perfection.

They've done the correction burn to put them in the same orbit, but 2.4 lower than the ISS. They will undertake in an hour or so from now, passing between the ISS and the Earth.

When some distance ahead they will burn again and rise into a slower orbit and let the ISS undertake them, thus dropping behind. Finally, they will go back down to a holding point, and wait till tomorrow while they check all the data.

Tomorrow they do a similarly detailed set of moves, ending up a hundred metres away, when they will be captured by the robotic arm, and docked.
