What modules demonstrate well is PostgreSQL's largely unsung degree of programmability. Most databases tie you to the data types that came out of the box, which leads more complex type modelling to be pushed out into the application code.

But PostgreSQL lets you go in the other direction, pushing type logic closer to the actual data store. This makes data storage smarter and can with a bit of judicious footwork simplify your application code.
I was referring to your mention of "permanently backed up", i.e., stale demographic information, whose value decreases predictably with time. While FB is in business, you're spot on.
I just had to shut down my chrome a few minutes ago and restart because I have persistent issues with tabs becoming unresponsive, where you can still scroll, but you can't click on links or highlight anything. The tabs either refuse to close entirely or take several seconds to close.

I know that chrome is supposed to be more robust by isolating the the processes of each tab, but my entire chrome hangs for 10 or 20 seconds at a time nearly once a week. I love the browser, because it feels very lightweight, but these issues have been dampening that feeling lately. I don't have any exotic plugins and I've got a new computer, so I figured I'd share that chrome is by no means as great for everyone as it is for most people.

It doesn't matter too much (although silence is probably the better option) as long as you imply that you may sometimes lie about what you actually had in the hand (the most important thing is that your opponents know this), which makes all his tweets about his hands pretty much unusable for information.

Because assuming someone at his table is reading his tweets, once you start feeding misinformation into a poker player's Internal Bayesian Inference Engine, then he is going to have the wrong probabilities of what you play in his head.

But the best option is to stay silent, because if you go with the above strategy, you now have to deal with figuring out whether or not your opponent has read your tweets, and whether or not he knows that you have fake hands in some of those tweets, because then that changes his playing style or the way you are perceived by him so you now have to start guessing whether or not he read your tweets.

So yeah, stay silent.

"grams of CO2 per km" is a very strange way to rate an engine.

It makes sense for a complete car. But just an engine by itself? Without specifying the speed of the car, weight of the car, aerodynamic shape, type of fuel?

You could try the cracked version. I heard that removed this 'feature' from Assassin's Creed, and it is very likely then they will remove it from D3 too.

Of course, chances are that you may not be able to log in from cracked version - and will have to play as a single player game.

It's a pity. From a technological standpoint the new Windows Phone stuff is actually pretty appealing. Programming in a nice modern language like C# for a new, clean UI paradigm sounds like fun. And working in a less saturated market has its upsides too of course.

But I won't touch anything from MS with a barge pole because they've shown time and time again that they have the ethics of a back-alley pimp. Have no doubt that they're behind this.

She Really Sticks to Her Beliefs
95 grams of CO2 while burning gasoline will get you .4 kWh.

If you drive 120 KM/h then you can a most generate 46.8KWh of energy during that hour. (.4 KWh for each km.)

Divide by an hour, and that gets you 46.8KW of power. And that is assuming perfect usage of every bit of energy in gasoline which is of course impossible.

So how in the world do they develop "110kW while emitting just 90-95 grams of CO2 per km". It's completely impossible to produce that much power.

You would have to drive at 282 KM/h in order to do that.

Unless I have a math error. Or whoever wrote up that story completely got their facts wrong.

(When checking my math be careful not to mix up power and energy. And I hope I didn't mix them :)

Couldn't this be construed as an abuse of a monopoly(antitrust)? They have a monopoly on social networking(there are alternatives, but they are very very small in comparison) and they are leveraging that to expand massively in another sphere, namely as email providers.
What are you afraid of, that I will be trying to fool someone that we have the same interests? If that was my goal, I'd just create a new facebook account just for your site.

You need a Facebook account attached to become Facebook friends.

Allow users to change email or msn over, say, the chat (as they can already). Problem solved.

Your arguments for locking yourself into facebook are artificial. Doesn't matter if you plan to incorporate other things as well, it doesn't break your site to go without the information of "likes" or whatever, especially considering that you hardly will ban facebook users that doesn't "like" anything.

Another dissatisfied Mixpanel lead here (who didn't get past the evaluation phase).

I also got bitten by their handling of timestamp.

e.g. - scenario:

Your users create bookings (which are normally done in the future).

How do you approach this? Well you submit a date field in the document you send to Mixpanel. But then you figure out that ONLY time axis supported by Mixpanel is their timestamp. Which could make sense for an off the shelf service, since you probably really don't want to build indexes against random user data.

Ok, take 2 - so I only have one X axis available (the Mixpanel Timestamp), however you soon figure out that Mixpanel just silently prunes your future timestamp to @now.

The worst part for me was Mixpanel teams total bewilderment as to why anybody would want either additional time axes OR future timestamps.

Guys your service really shows promise for building a fast and simple to use analytics. I really don't want to roll my own analytics service just to show simple activity timelines to my customers. I also don't want to maintain and support the infrastructure necesary - at least not at this time. Please realize that there are other cases for real time analytics besides funneling users towards "Buy now!" or "Signup now!" pages.

Are there any similar alternatives (I searched quite a bit but found nothing) or on the other hand if there are not - would there be anybody interested in joining up with me to build a service.

The state of the art of this has advanced significantly with the advent of "extension" support, as seen in CREATE EXTENSION in 9.1+:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/sql-createextension.html

The new way is much better than the old way.
From my way of looking at it, industries differ a lot in how patents affect them. The ideal solution would not be to toss things out, lock, stock and barrel, but to craft a more fine-grained system. I agree that software patents stink, though.
Indeed, as at first I thought it was just like Honda's IMA, which removes the starter entirely, and replaces the whole flywheel with an electric motor[0]. Here's a graph [1] showing the huge low-end torque boost of the CR-Z electric engine. It's clear that putting a regular turbo (like Ford is doing) would certainly help torque on higher revs.

Toyota's HSD has two motor-generators, one to boost low end torque (MG2 or MG-T), and one higher up for speed (MG1 or MG-S). They do not operate in the same mode at the same time, one acting as a generator for the other that acts as a motor. As such it resembles the principle of a supercharger, in that it takes unused energy to apply it somewhere else on the drivetrain. Both motors do slip and they actually use that as a CSV transmission to replace the torque converter in a auto gearbox. Contrary to Ford's solution where the electric "supercharger" motor drives the driveline, there is no actual uninterrupted physical connection between the engine and the wheels.

While we're doing a round up of hybrid technologies, Peugeot insisted on creating a hybrid diesel engine and could not overcome reliability problems when designing an engine similar to IMA, so they went back to the drawing board and simply made the two systems independent yet synchronized: the electric motors drive the rear wheels while the IC engine drives the front as usual.

What's your opinion on my User Experience Design tool - UXPin?
The @facebook was always there and could always have been used to reach a person's FB messages via email. Also, most of that other information would probably be marked as only available to friends or friends of friends. So you wouldn't be able to scrape it.

Don't get me wrong, this is a horrible move by facebook, but spam isn't the reason why.
few pointers:
Never, and I mean, never ever, call a journalist after you sent them your news and ask them if they got your mail and when they will write about it. It's a sure way to get you blacklisted.
Target your mail. A tech-blog needs other information than a local newspaper.
Set up a page with pictures and link to them.

And: Get a professional PR person. You might be good, but if you let your pr be handled by "guy x in marketing" then you are no better than those companies who let their IT be handled by "my sisters brother, he really knows his way around the internet".
In PostgreSQL 9.1 the contrib modules were all converted to the new concept of extensions. So instead of having to run a SQL script you can simply run.

CREATE EXTENSION hstore;

The advantages of this new command is that extensions can easily be uninstalled, installed in other schemas, and most of the problems with modules relating to database upgrades are gone.
Yes, I'm worried as well.

Wundermap (http://www.wunderground.com/wundermap/) is literally the only functional weather map on the internet.

"Some people really seem to have an emotional horse in this game, I'm not sure why."

I think it's because no one likes being told what their limits are. And when faced with certain inevitable death humans will fantasize their way out of it to make themselves feel better. Even if it's illogical or obviously impossible. (ex: "When I die, I'm going to go to a magical place in the sky where there is no suffering, no pain, no death, no bad things, and I will have everything I want, and I will be happy and live there with all my friends and family forever." - Human fantasizing about "heaven"). And there's nothing wrong with that. We're only alive for so long, might as well spend that time being happy. It just sucks when people bring fantasy desires into scientific reality.

A MAJOR point I forgot to mention in my original post. If planets and suns existed forever then yes we might be able to work something out, even if we're not traveling at light speed. But the delays, distances, and time limits involved are what make all of this near impossible. We only have a few billion years before our sun starts entering into its red giant phase and burns away our home. A few thousand before another extinction event, and possibly few thousand before getting hit by a massive meteor. Whatever planet we find looking through a telescope will have its own time limits, it's own problems that we won't know about until its delayed and outdated light finally hits us. It's the delays, it's the distance, it's the time limits. Everything has to fall into place so well. And with no planet known 100% to sustain life, everything is a gamble with insanely impossible chances to win.

The distances are so massive in space, the time delay between sending a message just light years away and getting it back makes the gamble worse. Imagine starting a voyage and midway finding out the planet has been destroyed or has entered a massive extinction phase that will escalate when we get there. Or finding out the planet is no longer inhabitable. Lets not forget our own Earth has entered periods where it was one massive boiling ocean, one big icicle, a bunch of lava. Granted we've moved away from those periods towards stability. But what if the planet we're heading towards destabilizes while we're on our way there?

Most people are visualizing space by what they've seen in star trek or star wars. With percentages of failure and death completely missing from their mental image of what it truly means to travel in space. People see it as a game of patience. When it's really a game of 'ALL of the odds are stacked against you and continue to stack against you the longer you stay out there'.

The more I think about this the more I realize how really lucky we are being on Earth. Really really lucky.

Trusted Platform Module – Microsoft’s Secret Weapon in the Mobile Arena
Don't rush to judgement. I doubt this is about DRM, this is probably more about protecting players from hackers. Clients have to be analyzed for modification, it's the same as what any Punkbuster game goes through. Banning wine may just be a consequence of Blizzard keeping the game safe, which is a worthwhile effort.

Diablo games are notorious for being hacked, and I assure you that if you happen to lose valuable items or characters due to a hack, you will not be happy.

If wine users are unfortunately axed because of this they could be angry at Blizzard not having a Linux client (which they shouldn't because I doubt it would be worth their while to support) but they should not be angry about not being able to use Wine.

John Robb mustread on Resilience & DIY culture answer to the Financial big reset
The thing to consider about a press release is it's a way that other journalists know every other journalist has gotten the news, and thus, is a way to guarantee that not many people will write about you (journalists are driven by the scoop). If what you have is actually 'news' and not just propaganda, give an exclusive to someone at a major daily. That beats a press release. Don't worry that the story they write hasn't got your contact details, the best journalists are like hackers, they can get any information they want. So the people that call you the day the story has run (and for this you must fit with the journalists schedule and resist talking early) will be a selection of the best and most interested journalists.
Thanks for your openness. I must admit to being slightly amazed that Google would add an irreversible-delete-button to a consumer facing app, without appropriate warnings and whatnot. Is that just an oversight, or is it by design?

Since the per post karma have been removed the only way to show you agree is to write an "I agree" post. If I upvote it only the author will see that someone upvoted it, but it is also information that is valuable to others. Hence, the only way to truly support a comment is to write a "me too" or try to rewrite "me too" into some rambling as if you had something else to contribute with but don't (which is arguably even worse).

Not defending it or saying that hiding the per post karma is bad, but it is understandable and one of the drawbacks of hiding the per post karma.

I don't think you're pumping 46.8KW continuously when driving at 120KM/h, so you're not getting 46.8KWh of energy... The targeted 110KW is for when you're accelerating (a lot, or going really fast and having a lot of air resistance, or tracting something huge). While not still exactly there (110KW / 95g CO2/km), it seems possible, look at Citroen's engines (and CO2/km ratings) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citro%C3%ABn_C3#Engines_2
