And why would you have to do that? Do you really think people will start guessing domains instead of putting "company blog" in their search engine?

People don't care about domains. They put "facebook" and even "google" in Google and click on whatever comes up on top.

Nobody goes to books.com to buy books, nobody goes to albums.com to buy music albums, it's all irrelevant.

"My dear photo sharing friend, enclosed you'll find the collection of my latest pictures which are simply to huge in volume for my crappy internet connection. Enjoy and keep sending pictures in return. PS: I love your artistic subtle casual picture style."
I'm not sure, but I think this is 'Web Components'. The Mozilla page says so https://wiki.mozilla.org/Apps/x-tag
Do you mean that they're faster if given the same pages to render and run on the same hardware?
Tcl is an interesting beast indeed, since it takes its extreme love for strings so far, it's actually homoiconic.
The NSA would find these handy, too.
As a consequence of its design, HTTP Basic auth wouldn't have worked as expected with meteor. All it could've done is prevented access to the whole website, users would still be able to see each other's stuff.

Progress. Wow, look at all my megapixels.

I mean as an achievement (from the technical point of view), this is pretty amazing, but this feels as more of a "look at what we can do" thing, than a real attempt at a phone.

Much love for nokia though, hope they reclaim the throne one day.
Exactly. You don't have to read any posts. Facebook will email you when someone has invited you to a party, or give you a push notification when someone wants to be friends. You can use Facebook's integration with your phone's address book to get all their contact details, so you can always reach them. You can have all the benefits of Facebook without visiting the actual website or app.
You could argue ICANN extorts money here by putting pressure on companies to apply for gtld's in order to protect their marks.

You could, except I've shown that you don't have to register the mark to protect it.

Companies are forced to purchase and renew registrations for direct matches and typos of their trademarks in many different gtlds.

No, they aren't, Amazon doesn't own amazon.net and nobody gives a fuck, because people don't write domains, they write "amazon" and click on the first result of the search engine.

Companies buy other domains for irrational fears based on outdated assumptions from when dinosaurs roamed the Earth and search engines sucked.
So after all these years we continue to support the middle-man idea (Google) instead of trying to figure out a way to move away from that.

It's not OK for people to not know how to use the internet.
What would you get with the choices set as:

- everything is a literal
- everything is an expression

Is there a Tcl variation that's a functional language?
Exactly. What's needed is more public education. DNS is a basic thing all users should know about. You can stop someone on the street and they will know what "RAM" is. They might not be able to explain how it works or what it stands for, but they know what it is and they know they need it for applications to run smoothly. Same should be true of DNS. Mozilla, not to mention Adobe, can coordinate millions of people to all download the same program (Firefox, Flash plugin). People can be taught how to control their own DNS, e.g. how to choose a DNS server. But ICANN likes users to remain ignorant. They want everyone to use their root server without ever thinking about it. Well, that server is about to become overrun with needless tld's.
Or the less popular option is to forcibly remove them from the planet.
Hot water preheat wouldn't be too hard to do, and would save serious money in colder climates. Maybe someone could work a deal with an apartment complex? (Hot water preheat for rent?)
This no doubt also has implications for lab-grown meat because so far the stuff being produced is essentially just a homogeneous slab of tissue (e.g. would taste more like spam than fine meat). If full animal organs can ultimately be grown, including the textures, you could really imagine moving away from live-animal sourced meat.
Virtual Assistant
Looking for virtual assistant? At LHI you can get an experienced and reliable network of administrative and technical support virtual assistant. Each of virtual assistants we have has specific skills and experience, you need not work anything on your own or have to waste time on training them. Just assign them task and leave the rest on them.
So after all these years we continue to support the middle-man idea (Google) instead of trying to figure out a way to move away from that.

If you want people to move away from middle-man, domains are certainly not the solutions, and the new TLDs will not change that for better nor for worse.

We had domains before Google. People switched because they suck as an human interface.

It's not OK for people to not know how to use the internet.

It's not only about that. I know perfectly well how it works, but I still use Google all the time for finding company websites, because it'd be incredibly stupid to spend 10m guessing the domain instead of making a 300ms request to a search engine.

Domains are great for decoupling URLs, configuration files, etc. from IP changes. They're certainly not a good mechanism for website discovery.
I looked into bitcoin mining before as a possible hackish investment, but there seemed to be anniversary where they made mining twice as hard. As it stood when I checked it out (few months ago) you would only make a buck or two a day with a top of the line graphics card, counting in cheap electricity but NOT the price of the hardware. I cant imagine what happens if they continue doing that (making it more difficult)

You can stop someone on the street and they will know what "RAM" is.

People in NY were asked what their browser was and the most common reply was "Google" - and this was before Chrome had any kind of share. People are completely ignorant when it comes to technology.
I think this article applies directly to people who have not sold a company before, or "reached the shore".

Talk to some guys who have sold a company for more than 10 million and are now working on their next one. In some cases its about the cash, but mostly its because they love doing what they do.
I don't know, I figure my machines still have 2-3 years of useful life left in them. A lot can happen in this time.

But I'm probably not going back to Linux (where I came from). Honestly, Windows doesn't looks so bad anymore. I admit I don't know the first thing about it, but maybe I'll give it a try.

Agreed. Been wondering where the fork in the road happened. Was it going OOP instead of FP? Should we be doing domain-driven design & using DSLs everywhere? Should we be using macros to write code that writes code as a routine practice. Was Dylan the way to go instead of Java?
I think Alan Kay is best interpreted as saying "there has not been a Moore's law level of progress for software", not "there can be no Moore's Law for software".

I can think of two metrics by which software progress can be measured.

Measure 1: Consider a software to be a sequence of operations which generates some arbitrary particular string of bits. A measure of progress can be, for any random string of bits whose generation we view as useful, how far is the totality of code (libraries, OS portions, etc) from the true Kolmogorov Complexity? Then Moore's Law can be, is this difference between true and actual complexity decreasing exponentially? Put another way, is the level to which we can compress the code specification of software exponentially approaching it's limit? I don't think so. But I also don't think this measure is useful as its too abstract.

Measure 2: For any given piece of software from the past, is the total number of man years required to replicate it decreasing exponentially as a function of time? Again I don't think so, not uniformly. I think it's more polynomial.

Of course there is a theoretical manner by which Exponential progress can be made in software. But some people view it as a dangerous existential threat. Either way, achieving Moore's law for software is not something that should be stepped into blindly.
Interesting that this press release carefully avoids mentioning 'bitcoin' at all...

The other thing that caught my eye is that $30k will supposedly get you 1 Terahash/s. Well, the entire bitcoin network hashrate is currently only 12 Terahash/s which means someone only needs to purchase about 12 of these devices to gain a majority share. That's less than half a million dollars' investment.
Ask HN: Shouldn't gTLDs be non-generic?
Shouldn't the gTLDs express directly the company itself?

I can understand let's say '.apple', but '.app' is just too much. Yeah, Apple runs an "App Store". But, be serious they are not the only ones and that doesn't give you any rights over such a generic TLD. The same applies for mostly all other name grabs.

If they want their own TLD kingdom then let them be, but not by powering them with such generic ones. It is so clear that these companies don't have any intention to make these TLDs publicly available.

Can anyone clarify me how these things got through?

In my memory, MFS did not have directories at all. The illusion of directories was implemented in the API's on top of the file system. Also, I do not remember a limit of one level. The need for more than one level simply did not arise, given that the storage medium held 400kB, and a thoroughly minimized OS maybe 100kB (20kB or so more if you wanted a printer driver), and an app 50kB (all sizes from memory, so they can easily be by a factor of two)

Back to the original question: the Finder has a tree view, but it is different than what Windows offers; it includes the files in the tree view.

Next question probably will be why Windows doesn't properly sort directory items by name, but insists on sorting by 'is a directory' first :-)
Tcl was lua before there was lua. It pops up under the cover as the scripting language of so many useful tools.
Bah, there is plenty of slavery without complicit governments.

Typical example: Criminals lure naive poor country girls with prospects of lots of money and a job elsewhere. As soon as they arrive to the destination country, they are held captive (they steal everything they own, and use violence) and then used as prostitutes. I fail to see government help in this scheme.

How come there isn’t a Moore’s Law for software?

There has been some progress on this front. Average programmer productivity has been roughly constant over the past several decades in terms of Source Lines of Code. (SLOC - Yes, it's a rotten metric, but it's good enough in huge aggregates.) SLOC per unit of functionality for mainstream languages stopped decreasing when we got to Smalltalk, and hasn't moved much since.

So to progress from here, we either have to:

- reduce SLOC per unit of functionality
- increase reuse of existing code
- increase the rate at which programmers can write correct code

I'm not sure the 1st is a good idea. When languages get too terse, they get harder to understand, and maintenance and debugging are a big deal.

The 2nd has been happening more and more. The way communities share good code has indeed progressed and increased the power of the individual programmer in the past two decades.

The 3rd one is quite a complex issue. I suspect functional programming can play some kind of role here, but it will have to be packaged in a way which is palatable to the programming mainstream.

Much could be done by a programming language that can enable the application of functional programming in much the same spirit as John Carmack's post here:

http://www.altdevblogaday.com/2012/04/26/functional-programm...

Just as OO became mainstream through "impure" implementations, FP could become mainstream through an impure implementation enabling programmers to easily incorporate it into their existing projects.

How about an FP-Lint for popular programming languages that can flag non-FP code in regions that have been designated FP?

Only 2% of the people I meet in the last 10 years, weren't organised enough, to save the files in the proper folders. So why we need a complicated directory structure ?
I guess you mean tortious (wrongful) rather than tortuous (winding, full of obstacles).
You can do that in base Tcl; the libraries won't exactly help you and unless they've fixed the dynamic scoping problem it had a decade ago when I last looked at it closures would be obnoxious, but the language itself is really clean and simple, very nice. The implementation is horrible and the original designers didn't really understand what they had, which is why you have really weird libraries like Tk that don't compose especially well (briefly: in Tk essentially every GUI object has global scoping and are named; the naming reflects the scope. It's possible to write GUI libraries for it but it's not trivial).
I think they should be only allowed to grab they trademark domains. (.amazon, .google)

Anything generic should be allowed to the public. Maybe the rights to sell can be sold a company.
You're meant to move to making money from processing transactions than mining for new coins, but that's still far from now.

The main difference would be that that logic is generally applied to products which confer the consumer with no external benefits.

On the other hand, using someone else's copyrighted material and passing it off as your own, using it as the public face of a venture, that's deriving massive benefits from its use.
Three monitors, side by side. The center is a 19" SyncMaster 997DF CRT at 2048×1536, the outer two are 23" ViewSonic VP2365wb (IPS) LCDs at 1920×1080. They're the same height vertically (although not the same resolution), so the result is quite harmonious. If you get an LCD then IPS is the only way to go, really.
That's correct. An HD 7970 (about $400) will mine $2.20/day currently. That's $66/month.

But for a starving student who lives in a dorm (doesn't pay directly his electricity), with a gaming video card, $66/month is nothing to sneeze at.
You must not have an eye for design. The original and plagiarized sites have identical typography and proportions in the navigation. The link you pasted looks only somewhat similar.

Well, I've read through a bit of his stuff that I found on Project Gutenberg. Personally, I prefer the outlook of Diogenes.

[edit] And don't get me started on Aristotle's politics, which in my view were largely self interested, shallow and myopic. For example -

"But is there any one thus intended by nature to be a slave, and for whom such a condition is expedient and right, or rather is not all slavery a violation of nature?

There is no difficulty in answering this question, on grounds both of reason and of fact. For that some should rule and others be ruled is a thing not only necessary, but expedient; from the hour of their birth, some are marked out for subjection, others for rule."

Now if we compare that to the story of Diogenes when he was taken and sold as a slave and then asked by the gangmaster what he was useful for, he apparently told them that he was quite useless at everything, other than as a governer of others. Also he apparently told Alexander the Great "I was searching through some bones for those of your father, but could not distinguish them from those of a slave."

The ICANN administration is notorious for its motives. While a public organization, many of its decisions are clearly to benefit their own and are clearly not in the public benefit.

I would say that real friendship requires intimate conversation - discussing things that you wouldn't share with just anyone. This is what separates friends from acquaintances.

Intimate conversation, by definition, must be (or at least feel) private. So if you communicate with someone face to face, by phone, or by email, you may maintain the feeling of privacy necessary for real conversation. I'd allow that "private" Facebook messages might serve the same purpose.

Wall posts, however, could not. Everything is said with half a mind to how everyone else will read it.

That's only part conversation; the other part is performance.
Ask HN: Finding the Right One?
As I have finally find an investor to get my site coded, what qualities should I look for in a team of programmers to make sure I get exactly what I need?
I saw that video. Hilarious!

But you're wrong. When people go to buy a computer, most know what RAM is, i.e., they've heard of it. It's because advertisements always mention it.
Thought the same. most of those are ridiculous...
Two or 3 of those will be professional drivers, and one is a rich amateur who brings money. Pay-to-play.

Often, though, amateurs and pay drivers end up becoming respected professional racers (e.g. Schumacher). DHH's results are showing that if he chose to do so, he might be able to do the same.

Certificate of incorporation - an summary
A Certificate of Incorporation is issued to after the formation of any corporation, it is a legal document presented by the government that supports the existence of the entity.
A Delaware corporation is to subsist when such a certificate is filed with the State secretary. The certificate of incorporation has limited objects that are needed to be listed and hence it is usually brief, the certificate has few legal items to make if effectual.
I think they're using easic.com, which lets you build an ASIC(or something reasonably close to an ASIC in price and performance), with small minimum orders, and low cost design tools.

They start at minimum of 45 chips for 45K$ including the tools, and the price gown down from there.

With the minimum quantities needed in order to justify manufacturing an high end ASIC rising dramatically, this seems like something that would disrupt the ASIC and some of the FPGA business.
What's really wrong with the recruitment industry
You can get lisp to interact more like a console language. Write a parser to accept python-ish whitespace syntax (whilst still allowing parens syntax), and transform that s-expressions so you can pass to the interpreter

To imply:

(define (fn a b)
(list (car a) (car (car b))))

You could type:

define: fn a b
list:
car a
car (car b)

As it's a console, in practice you'll mostly be typing commands like this:

load x y z

but you have good mechanisms for going deeper. And if you just want to write in s-expressions you still can.
So if you bought one of these for $30k and used it for mining you'd get 1/13th of the bitcoins generated? iirc, 50 bitcoins are released every ten minutes? So you'd get mine an average of 550 bitcoins a day. Which are currently worth about $5 each. So it would take about 10 days to recuperate the cost of the server.

[edit] Of course this assumes that nobody else buys one of these servers for bitcoin mining and that using it doesn't cause the value of a bitcoin to drop.
I can tell you I don't use G+ to play games.
Couldn't you say the same for .com domains? Is it fair that one company gets to own search.com?
I'm not saying that domain names solve the problem of people typing "facebook" on google [1] or that typing "XYZ company" on google is a problem to be solved by XYZcompany.com. In other words, domains and search engines have distinct use cases and the problem is that people don't know how to use either.

[1] It is a problem because it allows people not to understand the basics of how the internet works. I don't expect people to understand protocols and stuff like that. People don't want to understand technology, they only want to benefit from it. I don't know 80% of the features my TV provides but I don't care - I can still watch TV. People feel the same about the Internet - they know they don't understand it but they don't care because they can still log in to facebook and watch videos on youtube. But using a middle man (call it Google, Yahoo, or even Facebook) to do these things undermines the nature of the internet as we know it and allowing this trend to continue will most likely lead to problems that we will have to resolve. (Not exactly similar, but when MS decided that browsers don't matter it was our job to tell people to stop using IE6 and switch to Firefox. I wouldn't want to be the guy that tells people don't use Google for this, use ____ instead).
Stupid and honest question, but why would this be a meme? On a personal level I very much dislike Google Plus because they did spam me at least a couple of times with emails like "hey, X and Y and Z did that on Google+ last week (things totally unrelated to me) you should check it out!". If that's not desperation than I don't know how else could it be called.
Something around this. Procrastinators, depressed, escapists, there's common trait. Internet is such a wonderful constant stream of more-distracting-interesting things.
Thank you GB_001 for your reply and I'll take a look into twitter bootstrap.
Actually I have been meeting with the W3 Web Components spec author for about 2 months while we readied this. The document.register method that was recently added to the spec was in large part a byproduct of X-Tag and when browsers implement it (Firefox soon) X-Tag will use it internally in browsers that support it, as a polyfill always does. Once one browser implements the JS mentod, X-Tag will truly polyfill the method on document as well.
Would you mind to share the entire list?
