Perhaps it's not that we overload our brains with information, rather it's the way society expects us to be. We turn into walking talking trivia machines. There's so much information that it becomes a necessary skill to separate or distill essential information from the non-essential.

I've noticed that many of the techniques or guidelines out there on the web involve resisting society or technology in someway. For example, quitting Facebook and Twitter, helped improve productivity and satisfaction. Saying "no" to many of the things that define and shape the society we live in, indicates to me, at least, that there's nothing abnormal with being depressed or being an escapist. It's the natural response, I believe.
How to use a load board – some useful tips
Load Board concept is quite old in the developed economy such as US. It is a platform useful to logistics manager of a company, transport houses and vehicle owners. The platform provides real time information on logistics market.
Free Internet for all?
You probably are generalizing that all countries in the world have great legal systems.
Indeed. Where do they take off and land those planes? I don't think a flat stretch of grass will do.
Load Board - A new system for successful logistic business
Load board is nothing but an online tools where supply chain, shipping professionals and third party logistic companies will be in a position to provide details on what loads they have put forwarded to ship for vehicle carriers to observe and meet. Load board provides the most modernized system to locate shipments for both freight and trucking companies. Shippers on a daily basis go through the internet to get access of Load Boards and upload their obtainable loads.
If you were mining bitcoins fast enough to overtake the natural growth of the network and selling them to profit from this activity, you would be creating a tremendous amount of downward pressure on the dollar value of a bitcoin, rendering your operation less profitable. Therefore you can't assume the current price of $5.

I agree with you until you say that "depressed" is normal. Really, it isn't, it is abnormal. It is also treatable. People who eat better, get exercise, and regulate their use of stimulants / sedatives tend to do well. Adding in a course of cognitive behaviour therapy (from an experienced practitioner) effectively cures many people. Adding medications helps lots of people too.

Perhaps you're saying that modern life pushes people away from healthy eating and exercise and sensible worklife balance and towards alcohol and caffeine, and that depression is the natural result of that. In which case, I agree.

You mention information overload. Here's a nice example of sub-optimal advice about procrastination. It's too long for anyone prone to procrastination to actually read.

There's still a small safety element. Sometime moonshiners produce toxic alcohol, or they contaminate their product with things that are toxic.

I agree that the main element is taxation.

Very many cigarettes sold in England are smuggled in from EU because of tax. But now people are counterfeiting so some cigs are both smuggled and fake - the quality of some of the smuggled product is alarmingly poor. (But it's tricky to get any sensible information about this because the only people releasing information are the customs / police who want to make it seem as scary as they can.)

I'm still trying to figure out why we need higher ups in the first place.

On a less anarchistic note, we need to start questioning the mental health of our society as a whole (the abyss might stare back at you but you stared first, stick with it).

That there is an obsession with everyone being in a particular state is indicative of anxiety. That it cannot comprehend the fact that our emotional states are the products of our physical and social environments indicates denial.

It's just like family therapy - no single member of a family can be mentally ill in isolation - the whole family needs treatment. So it is with humanity - the sky high levels of reported anxiety and depression are not isolated to the individuals suffering from them, they are a result of the very fabric of our society. It's the way we look at and treat each other, it's the inequality, the prejudice, the hatred, the litigation, the constant shifting of blame and severe lack of responsibility that's endemic in our culture. THAT is what's making people feel bad.

Treating individuals is patching the symptoms and not addressing the root causes.

Another recommendation for your reading list: The Plan 9 kernel (could be considered a modernized version of a classic code reading which is also highly recommended: Lions' UNIX 6th Edition commentary).

The Go compilers and stdlib are also a great read. Is no coincidence that Ken Thompson was involved in all those projects.

More on topic: I agree it is sad how underrated Tcl is, perhaps not the best language ever created, but deserves much more attention and credit than the latest JS-flavour-of-the-week.

Tk is also great and IMHO still the best portable GUI toolkit around.

If they did this, the attack would cause a panic, and Bitcoin would likely instantly loose its value, thereby undermining the validity of their own (illegitimately acquired) wealth. Not very smart...

The inventor of Bitcoin once described this scenario, saying it would be smarter and more profitable to simply mine bitcoins legitimately...
I've had similar experiences with AdWords. It's very tough to get a decent ROI. Plus, toying with it is a real time sink, and if you want to do it scientifically, then that's even more time and effort you have to invest.

What do you mean by "so much"? Because they can't accurately, regularly predict the future?

I think you'll find that, in reality, economists know their fallibility and limitations. It's the proletariat that doesn't understand the under-pinnings and assume economists should be 100% accurate when they make predictions, and are upset when they are not.

My solution to this is to read them as sparingly as possible. What's the use of getting depressed over something you can't change? A smarter solution is to use as much of your time as possible to help yourself and others while only concerning yourself with issues you have influence over.
I don't have a proper list, it is more in the back of my head. I did read some of these each:

* Erlang VM

* sqlite

* Linux kernel

* Clojure functional data structures

That list may look very pretentious, but I don't try to fully understand the packages. What interests me is (1) the style, and (2) the larger strokes. What kind of idioms are there, and how does it fit together. I think it is pretty hard to get the idea of a software package from reading the code. For that some higher level description or book makes more sense. Generally I think reading source code is very helpful in becoming a better programmer. I don't think the above list is anywhere near a general recommendation. I did rather pick a domain that was intimidating to me, and the reduce ignorance there.

Large data transfers are still best done through physical shipping of encoded atoms. Take a look at AWS Import/Export for one real-world example. But the threshold for that being useful is rather high. Have you worked out the breakpoint for where a person moving cards is more effective than a network connection? What information, other than DVDs, would be appropriate for this?

Why do you focus on radio-only connections? The highest bandwidth devices can easily be plugged into a wired connection. Why do you assume that bandwidth will get more congested? I think instead that there will be a move towards smaller cells, with lower power. The network provider could have an antenna on every other streetlight or power pole, where each only handles a few dozen devices in range.

Your comment about suburb wifi congestion doesn't feel right. The most cluttered wifi I've seen has been in big apartment buildings, where the transmitters are much closer to each other. One possible solution there is to move towards per-building based cells rather than per-apartment ones. Though this would mean that the hardware has to be as reliable as the building wiring, which isn't yet true.

Where I've heard uucp being useful is for things like "drive-by wifi" for rural parts of the world, for example http://www.firstmilesolutions.com/ .

But the idea that "relaxing our need for synchrony could make newspaper profitable again" is just strange. If people want their news less frequently then that just gives more time for their local network aggregator to download that news. Where's the cost savings or revenue boost for the newspaper?

They claim 832 Mhash/s at 80W for the Singles. And, yes, my units match these characteristics.

It is worth pointing out that before they had a Single prototype, 6 months ago, they had pre-announced 1000 Mhash/s at 20W... which turned out to be off by 5x in terms of Mhash/Joule. I think there is a fair chance that this ASIC pre-announcement will also fail to reflect the actual numbers. By how much? Who knows.
The Bells and Whistles analogy doesn't have to be as bad as it's made out to be. I run a hybrid "more space" and "more features" freemium model, and it's the "more features" that gets me most of my conversions.

The key, I've found, is to make sure the features are always visible. Make the controls (links, buttons, inputs, whatever) always visible, but when the free users click, they get a "This is for premium, click here to upgrade" notice.

Plus, I have a policy now that any new feature defaults to premium, and I have to be convinced to make it free. So, the free offering stays the same but the glitter and gloss of premium gets better and better in comparison.

Finally, never fall into the trap of thinking something should be free because 1) it's easy to do or 2) someone else gives it for free. A "I coded it in 5 minutes" feature that makes life easier for your user sounds like an awesome premium offering to me.

I have one depressed friend. Anytime I visit him, it eventually turn into a Youtube party. This tendency is by far worse than with any of my other friends.

I'd love to track my personal wellbeing, right now my only metrics are "am I hooked to some flash game or not" and "did I go jogging this week or not". Tracking my web surfing could give something in like "it seems you're having a lousy afternoon" which would be more handy because I might snap out of it.
That clearly depends on what value you place on the destruction of the network.

> Required attribute alt missing: Most images are decorative, having alt is pointless in most cases. Should be optional.

NO. ALT attribute must not be optional. Just put an empty alt in for decorative images and learn how to do sensible alts or long_desc for other images.

And many of the supposedly decorative images are used functionally, in which case they need proper alts.

So a year ago, when the new ICANN TLD expansion was announced, I wrote up an FAQ for normal people explaining the process. I actually read the entire 352 page document and took the time to call ICANN (and ICANN does not like me because I've been critical of their policies in the past, so that was no small feat) and get confirmation on how the process works.

This week, we've run a number of stories discussing the current phase of the situation, but to be honest, the general audience response has been 'meh.' CNN wanted me to do a spot on Tuesday or Wednesday about it, but it was a scheduling conflict.

The reality is, the story isn't substanatively different than it was a year ago. We're now at the application phase. For certain generic TLDs, communities can appeal against the use by one party. For many of the most contentious TLDs, there have been groups fighting for control for years. See .music.

The reality is that at this point, Google and Amazon applied for the use of certain TLDs. Some are likely to receive pushback -- cloud and search seem ripe for appeal. Google could argue that "blog" is synonymous with "blogger" -- they might win that (tumblr and WordPres could register tumblr and wp if they wanted). The reality is these won't be issued over night.

With some, Google might even have plans to act as an exclusive registrar for some of them.

The situation is this. Despite ICANN's claims that this process would be designed to prevent abuse and land grabs, what's happening is what we all expected: land grabs and abuse, but just from the people rich enough to file the application and pay for the ensuing infrastructure. It is what it is.

I don't see this phase as a huge story, only because it's the expected next step. The story will be what gets approved and what are the implications of those approvals. It's too early in the bureaucratic process to start trying to get people up in arms about a process the was designed to be as cumbersome and difficult to navigate as possible.

Publicizing (again) the way the process works won't change the process.

>The MIBenum value is a unique value for use in MIBs to identify coded
character sets.

>The value space for MIBenum values has been divided into three
regions. The first region (3-999) consists of coded character sets
that have been standardized by some standard setting organization.
This region is intended for standards that do not have subset
implementations. The second region (1000-1999) is for the Unicode and
ISO/IEC 10646 coded character sets together with a specification of a
(set of) sub-repertoires that may occur. The third region (>1999) is
intended for vendor specific coded character sets.

However that specific error (reference to entity "x" for which no system identifier could be generated) has this message:

>This is usually a cascading error caused by a an undefined entity reference or use of an unencoded ampersand (&) in an URL or body text. See the previous message for further details.

I notice this on one website that is using MIBEnumID:

<span

class="st_facebook_large"

displaytext="Facebook"

st_url='http://www.hardrock.com/locations/cafes3/events.aspx?locationid=108&MIBenumID

Could it be that it is just throwing this error because of the unencoded ampersand? And that since it is part of some MS/ASP.net setup it is everywhere?
If you want to understand the Erlang programming paradigm, rather than how the underlying paradigm is implemented, I can recommend ejabberd.
I don't think so. TLDs are, by convention, categorical in a way that search.com isn't. It's problematic for a company to own a category in that way.
> This shows how well browsers handle bad HTML

It's not that hard to handle something like an <img> tag with no alt attribute.
Yes, they will pivot. But if you legalize pot (easy income) and some harddrugs, there is not much to pivot to. The market will be too small to sustain. I mean ; if cocaine/heroine is legal, other drug users would swarm to that as it will be cheap (it is cheap to make anyway), so what do you pivot to?
Templates for Rails 3.2 starter apps you can deploy in minutes
No, it shows the author has thought about alt attributes and has included them because doing so is standards compliant.

For images that are purely decorative including an empty alt attrib is valid. People using screen readers (and people with images turned off[1]) don't need to hear (or read)"SMALL RED BULLET" for all 7 items in the list.

[1] I often have images turned off. I'm using a mobile broadband dongle. My ISP uses horrible proxies to compress images. I'm in the UK. The IP of the proxies is 1.2.3.9 through 1.2.3.12 - this is sub-optimal for many obvious reasons. Bypassing this proxy is trivial, but means I download a lot more data.

No. Why is it absurd?
The alt field specifies the text to be shown in the container when the resource is missing. If you don't use it you'll get an eyesore in the form of a broken image icon, within a reserved space for the resource. The alt="" instructs the browser to minimize space reserved for a missing resource. This is indeed useful for layout elements that are only a few pixels on each side. This way you don't mess up layout. It's used to keep the UI usefull when things go missing.
