Can't really pinpoint it to one thing. What I was trying to get across was the fact that numbers (P/E ratios, etc.) should only be a factor in one's purchases. I think that when you look at Facebook, the market it is in, and its revenue model, and then compare it to Apple back in 1980, there are some stark contrasts you'll find. Sure, there's hindsight bias and all, but I personally feel that Facebook has entered a market where making money is a lot harder that it was for Apple. In order for Facebook to grow a few order of magnitudes, I feel that there would need to be a radical shift in the way we Internet users feel about spending money online or else the way advertisers reach potential customers.

But I just looked at your profile... and wow! That's one impressive resume! I'd be a lot more interested in hearing your perspective on Facebook and its financial strength, etc. This is one of those moments where I'd really wish HN had a PM system.

"Could History Repeat?"

Hrmm this is interesting but I don't think history will repeat in the Valley. I would turn attention towards NYC and the tremendous initiatives being put together there. From Cornell to NYU, it's all coming together with local, national, and international gov to do brilliant things. DARPA and other govt funding already goes through institutions like MIT and Carnegie Mellon and all that work is stable.

But to see another tech explosion, Silicon Alley is where I would look in the future.

You've probably heard of LZMA, xz is merely an implementation of this (7zip and rar also use LZMA). The most notable differences to bzip2 are significantly longer compression time and rather moderate decompression speed increases. This makes xz quite good for packaging data for distribution, although it takes a lot longer to compress, it decompresses a lot faster (unlike bzip2) and saves a significant amount of space.
"x|0" is the preferred idiom for this IMHO; it's one character cheaper than the shift and calls [[ToInt32]] in the same way. IIRC this is what Emscripten uses.
I think your idea of what traffic is friendly to Tor is too limited. Traffic like this improves the anonymity supplied to users of Tor who need it most. The more traffic runs over the Tor network the better.

Also, on https://www.torproject.org/about/torusers.html.en it specifically talks about using Tor for the single purpose of concealing your IP address for privacy reasons.
Good, as far as it goes, but misses (IMHO) the biggest advantage of the shell, which is composability. In the shell, you can interleave and connect any actions you have access to. In the GUI, programs can typically only interact in ways explicitly supported.

37signals is a web products company, most famous for Basecamp. Ruby on Rails came out of there.

I don't know if their generosity to their employees translates to their bottom line. I think it works the other way: they are profitable enough that they can afford to be generous to their employees. The 37signals model seems to be: 1) have amazing people working for you 2) treat them really well. It's highly effective, but you need to have cash in the bank to get to step 1.
Ok, the thread is dead and we're off-topic but to clarify: I just don't find important things like good physical health (you can revolutionize theoretical physics before dying of a heart attack at 45... and yes you could be very unhappy knowing that you would die sooner but I don't care about about happiness either). The only worthy purpose for any eugenics-like social engineering strategy for me would be ACCELERATION OF SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL PROGRESS AT ALL/ANY COST, as I believe that in the long run this will lead to better overall health and change everything for "better".

NOTE: Yes, such a measure or anything similar would lead to human rights erosion that might amplify further, and this is why I wouldn't actually promote the proposed soc-eng strategy in any current society, but that's a different thing....
Not just art. Try writing and editing text with nothing but shell tools.

One thing that I'd love to see in all GUIs is a unified "search box" for commands, settings, and tasks. The OS X help menu comes close (but it only searches help and menu bar items); the "Control-Q" box in the Visual Studio 11 beta comes even closer (but it only works in Visual Studio).

Neither, however, go beyond basic substring matching, and they really should. As an example, help searching for "disable Flash" in Safari could easily point me to the appropriate preference pane and the Safari extensions Web site before falling back to a general Web search as a last resort.
This discussion is absurd. If an institution wanted to filter Wikipedia, they could copy it en masse and just leave out the naughty bits. I don't think the license could forbid that.

The fact of the matter is that censorship is not trivial. The cost of filtering should be burdened by the censors, not the Wikimedia Foundation itself.

Edit: Jim Greer points out that Wikipedia actually does suggest using proxies for censorship, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Options_to_not_see_an...

Not trying to be argumentative, but I think you may be misreading what the headline is really saying. The idea is an 'alliance', which by definition requires more than one person. Multiple 'hackers', not just 'hacker'. Some of us 'hackers' would like to work with other 'hackers' in order to build things that we cannot build alone.

Perhaps our understanding of the word 'hacker' is evolving to the word 'hackers'. And given your presence and comment here, aren't you by definition a "Hacker News reader"? Just sayin'
SSDs haven't replaced spinning HDs yet. And probably won't for slow read but massive storage. They handle the functionality of general use with 300GB HDs but that's some ways off current multi-terabyte spinning disks. And those might increase storage capacity faster than SSDs. So server OSs will have to maintain compatibility.

And NVM tech will probably be more limiting in storage to current RAM than SSDs are to spinning HDs. To replace even 30% of RAM/Storage in 5 years seems like a stretch.
Where exactly does their money come from?
I think the issue boils down to whether kids will accidentally come across porn - the author presents a very misleading example of a search result for 'male human'. When I search for that I get a high-quality porn-free page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Male_human.

If kids are actively looking for porn, they are going to find it. Now, it would be nice for public schools with strict white list based domain filters to be able to include Wikipedia as a safe site.

They are good enough to keep kids from accidentally finding porn - though honestly I don't think that happens very often on Wikipedia either.

dead thread and offtopic but to clarify:

a tax is centralized, but the fact that some can pay it and some cannot it not dictated by a central authority, that's the reasoning. The state would not decide who has enough money to pay the tax, and this would be an emergent effect from economy. NOBODY would decide and this I think would be a good thing!

Your group of friends could just as well finance the poor people that nevertheless they think have desirable traits.

NOTE: I still would'n support such my proposed soc-eng strategy in any current society because the erosion of human rights and possibility for abuse is far too great, so the discussion is entirely theoretical anyways, but it was fun

The only complaint I have about G+ photos is that it emphasizes albums instead of individual photos. If I want to share a single image, I have to create an album for it, and then have that album-containing-a-single-picture hanging around forever.

Q.E.D.
Reminds me a bit of Bpipe (http://bpipe.org), and Ruffus (http://code.google.com/p/ruffus/) ... though perhaps more mature? But the syntax is a bit more obtuse when you actually look at the examples (not that I mind learning it if the payoff is sufficient).

I think we'll see a lot of DSL style / scripting languages like this pop up as big data computing becomes more mainstream and people try to make parallelism easier to grok.
Saying that we can either save or consume is a false dichotomy that suggests that a balance of the two isn't possible.

The problem with the current system that promotes consumption beyond our income levels is that in the medium to long term it ties up more and more of the money being exchanged as money rent (e.g. interest rates on loans, credit cards, mortgages, etc.) for many people. If you keep spending beyond your income you eventually reach the point where you know longer have disposable income because you're servicing mainly interest. I've been in such a situation myself and know many other people who have also been in a similar situation.

The problem with more and more money being tied up in financial services is that financial services are far less efficient as properly allocating capital than consumers buying what they want. One million consumers spending $1 each will better distribute a million dollars than one investment banker. The only time an investor can better allocate money is when there is demand, but there are structural reasons why a return on investment will not be seen for a long time, due to time spent on "ramp-up" activities such as construction or R&D. However even with these activities, we're now seeing a shift with financing models like kickstarter that turn the debt model on end. Kickstarter permits consumers to allocate capital more efficiently than an investor for goods and services that require up front cash.

The ideal situation for individuals and the economy in the medium to long term is to spend exactly what you earn, no more and no less. This won't produce the best short term results, but also won't result in short-term hangovers later. We waste so much potential and productivity yo-yoing back and forth between periods of under capacity and overcapacity.

Oh, and in case your wondering how to solve it. Your only real options as far as I know are to SEO yourself to death to get the geocities crap off the front page of google. Or ignore it.
I think it's a great idea in concept as well but it seems likely based on the way it's described that Jason's project will move forward (because he's the CEO) and then the rest of the folks will have to battle it out to get their project funded ongoing.

In addition to allowing people to go off and do their own thing there also needs to be some sort of evaluation criteria set up or else you're going to have a bunch of annoyed people at the end of the process who worked hard then found out they didn't have a realistic chance to get funded.
I love the comments. I can't keep my kids from seeing porn, so let's censor Wikipedia. The logic, is just... breathtaking.
Not the advice you're looking for but in all honesty, its not worth bothering or caring about this. As its been said a million times over, once something is on the internet, its there forever. I wouldn't worry about clones or old info or anything like that, no matter how much you hate for that to be out there. Its not worth your time.

Old stuff, new stuff, literally everything on the internet gets reposted somewhere (sometimes thousands upon thousands of times over again) and there will always be clones of something. Its a losing war and one not even worth thinking about in the first place.

The other answers aren't wrong, but I think listening to 37Signals Partner DHH from Startup School would speak best: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CDXJ6bMkMY

Almost more than their products, they're known for their very vocal broadcasting against the standard startup focus of investments, valuations, exits, etc...

Their books "Getting Real" and "Rework" represent their bootstrapping, sustainable-business values - they're not timid in speaking out against the nonsense of the modern startup conventional wisdom.

Personally, I think it's a very refreshing and empowering voice for entrepreneurs. It's not without controversy though, so dig in to their content for yourself to make your own judgement. (FWIW - "Getting Real" is a free PDF out there somewhere. I recommend it, though others may or may not.)

• close-up photographs of ordinary intercourse

Oh. Foundational information on a fundamental, universal behavior that propagates the human species. Yes, there's no reason "the children" should ever be allowed to define human intercourse or put it in a coherent context - best to just let them discover sex from a blinking pink banner ad.

Will Indian Ecommerce Shift To Social Commerce?
I wonder why this topic is even on the front page of HN.
The thing is that most of the articles in this edition deserve their moment in the focus of Hacker News. Money is the ultimate software, it is a protocol agreement that drives human behavior in the real world. Money may be the illusion of value, or merely an allusion to value; but it is also the dominant abstraction of the age of abstractions. You need money to live as a member of society, and to be effective within society you need more than some minimal threshold amount of money. And while we don't wear our bank accounts on our sleeves (or social media profiles) we do have a finely honed sense for who has money in quantity and who does not and it is one of the primary determinants of social status in our society.

Money is a topic worthy of investigations, and of criticism and critique. It is also a fertile ground for entrepreneurial improvement.
There's no problem at all.

I created a content filtering firewall for conservative Lutheran elementary school to using Dan's Guardian and it's naughty word filter.

Problem solved in 30 minutes, and the children get to see 99% of Wikipedia, including topics like "Breast Cancer."

When we were testing the filter, we found that occasionally a topic with a slightly naughty photo may come up from time to time, but nothing you couldn't find in a National Geographic. We didn't care to filter it any more.

Everyone knows that the best work comes when you are free to create something you believe in and that you have a real desire to create.

The problem is combining that desire with capitalism where someone wants to get rich from your ideas, and with a minimum of costs.

Googles most successful products such as Gmail and the search engine was created as small, experimental products, born from the brains of people who were NOT under strict deadlines and pressure to perform. The brain works much better under those conditions, and so does creativity and thinking outside the box.

Today we see the influence of managers and bosses in the way Google ignores privacy. That was probably never part of the vision the product creators had when they put their products together.
itunes and appstore is monetization of the post marketing success. you convert them to switch, and then lock them there.

hard drive was a step back. for the same price (and 5 months before ipod launched) you could get a creative flash memory mp3 player with 2/3 of the size. again, same price, you give away 1/3 of the storage for NO gravity or dropping of issues. far superior if you ask me... yet, bad marketing on creative. (btw, ipod evolved some 5yr later and what? 1/2 of the space and flash memory, so yeah, even apple consumers agree it was better without it.)

The use of the word "hacker" itself should be considered ballsy. (Though 3rd parties have diluted it enough to weaken the conviction the phrase allegedly once held.) To put "hackers" in the organization name implies that all members are wizardly to some extent.

That's true but irrelevant. Military spending as a percentage of GDP has decreased significantly over the last 50 years. Government healthcare spending as a percentage of GDP has grown unabated over the same time and shows no signs of stopping. It's this trend that makes healthcare spending a priority to solve today instead defense.
I wouldn't have thought so either, but apparently there are some folks out there who are enjoying pushing the limit of exactly how much pornography they can incorporate into wikipedia.

I mean, do we really need an article on the subject "Cock And Ball Torture"? I would have thought it was fairly self-explanatory. If so, does it really need to be illustrated with four photographs?

(You can look it up, I'm not gonna provide a link.)

I'm guessing, here, that the page exists less for the greater edification of mankind and more for the sexual jollies of that rather narrow section of humanity which happens to enjoy not only putting their genitals in "humblers", "testicle cuffs" and "parachutes", but also get off on exhibitionism.

I dunno if it's "unsettling to children", but that page is sure as hell unsettling to me.
