Never heard of Yammer until now. The buying price is a lot; I remember the days when millions were only used (born in the sixties).

Anyway, yet another company swallowed by Microsoft. Whether it will "live" or "die", it is too early to tell.

You need to ask yourselves why anyone would choose to use this currency. Why would I request payment in Freicoin instead of USD or Bitcoin? Why would I choose to be paid in a currency that is specifically designed to not "store value"?

Javascript: Keeping It Classy
An information architect is very similar to a product manager.

They have expertise in information systems, but are essentially performing a product mgr role in being the expert on what you're building, and who you're building it for. In many internet businesses, information is the product.

Info architects also cop the same criticism and praise as product managers. Jack of all trades, master of none. Not a critical hire because their role can be covered by others. But good ones can make a real difference to the process and the final product.
This type of plastic is used to shield LEDs in many infrared remote controls (TV, stereo, etc).

We used a variant of it to make the entire "puck" of the Dropcam (http://www.dropcam.com) so that you wouldn't have to see the ugly IR emitters we use for night vision.

Good purchase.
Demurrage drives the velocity of money up, and the interest rates down. These have other beneficial effects, such as easy access to credit (as long as you're creditworthy).

More noteworthy, demurrage is assessed immediately whereas inflation is delayed. Under a demurrage system, this places an incentive to invest in assets which lead to longer-term sustainable growth. Inflation can instead incentise nearsighted short-term growth (and all the ramifications that has).
AT&T will also sell me naked or dry DSL as it is called. It is sonic that insists on bundling "free" phone service and then charging for it through additional surcharges and fees.
Error 451: This Page Has Been Burned
Inflation in the US has been pretty low lately, which does not really encourage investment (relative to hoarding). That's at least partially because huge banks control the interest rates. If someone other than huge banks could control the rate, they could make investment more enticing compared to hoarding.
I am not aware of anyone being sued over codec RE. But are you sure it's not just TwinVQ MPEG4?
Yes.

I've always been fascinated by the 'show me the tax' mindset. I'm probably in the minority but an all inclusive, up front pricing structure will always make me happier than one that has a base + taxes + fees.

I have no illusions of being able to convince you that one pricing structure is 'better' than another. But there are a lot of us out there who really don't want to know about all the components of the price.

I think PG did comment on a subsequent post asking why post on subject[0] was taken down. I am not sure if commenting on a soon-to-be-killed post constitutes an official comment though, perhaps it was decided there is no need since according to policy meta-concerns should be dealt with using email.
What kind of animal did you have to sacrifice to get into that program?
In theory, couldn't one gain of demurrage be that the fees could be proportional to the amount of money being "secured" (stored)? Inflation is across-the-board, but demurrage could be more targetted.
Now Microsoft seems to be finally getting wiser, Yammer is a good purchase for Microsoft. Specially if they can integrate it with Sharepoint and Office Suite. This can turn out very cool product from MS in long time, now I can only wish they down't screw up with a good product.

We've used Yammer inside our small company, but quickly gave up on it because we are few and I think Yammer is a lot more useful in big companies were you should keep up to date on what the other groups around you are doing.

The implementation is pretty solid though and I liked the features provided. It really is Twitter for the Enterprise, so this acquisition makes sense for Microsoft.

Some smart people like Coda Hale also work there. I wonder if they'll leave or not.

Tell me about it. All these valuations and buyouts starting with a $"B" make me a bit nervous (and truthfully, envious as well).

I don't understand how a market of rational actors can support these kind of numbers. There is just this complete disconnect in my mind with the value these companies provide (people, assets, IP, networking, users, etc.) and the sort of figures getting tossed around.
Interesting, but I am still waiting for something that would be positioned between Bitcoin and Freicoin with inflation controlled democratically, not set by an authority (developers behind respective currencies). Every user would choose how fast coin mining should be, making the inflation/deflation react to the people using the system.

I assume this means that there's a reason you don't. If you can share it, what is the reason? Rightmove is the only site I browse for apartment rentals, do they have restrictions on who can list on behalf of others?

I have Sonic at home, and applaud this log deletion policy. There's only one thing that bothers me about Sonic, the marketing vs reality of DSL.

Their marketing: $39.95/m for speeds up to 20Mbps

Their reality: ~$50/m for ~8Mbps

Now I continue to pay despite this discrepancy. I just wish there was more of an 'under-promise, over-deliver' mindset in their marketing dept.
Inflation hurts the poor and middle-class more than it does the wealthy, for the very reasons you mention: the rich have tools to mitigate it.

What I'm more concerned about here is making sure that under all circumstances credit is available to those who need it, interest rates are low, and money continues to flow through the economy at a predictable and at least minimum rate.

This is not an attack on the upper class, nor am I trying to redistribute wealth. In fact I'm explicitly trying to avoid that--some of the other #occupy currencies that have been floated in the past amount to little more than progressive asset taxes, the very idea of which I am categorically against. Rather, I want to create a fixed and unchangeable monetary policy which would keep the economy moving in good times and bad.

The Error of Failing to Emulate a Winning Idea
I'm a little concerned about this.

* It presents the idea of adding several dozen new rapidly-created "apps" to Ubuntu as a necessarily good thing. We don't need "more apps", we need better solutions, which IMO often means fewer apps.

* From the rules: "The application must contain exclusively original code and the Participant must be the original author of the content." This effectively limits library use to only what's in the default repositories, right? I suppose we're not allowed to use things along the lines of the Dropbox SDK?
those with the most assets (your "1%") can best manage their investing to avoid losing value, while the people with modest amounts of savings get screwed either directly by inflation or through encouraged patronizing of the fraudulent consumer-financial industry

Is there some reason why those with modest savings can't buy treasury bills? TIPS will match inflation and other treasury notes will often perform better. And you can buy them directly from the US government bypassing the "fraudulent consumer-financial industry" altogether.
In a discussion on Slashdot, I was linked to an IEEE article that claims that all OAM type transmissions are subsets of MIMO. I haven't read this in detail yet, but so far it seems interesting:

Here in the states, there are also the realty-related megasites like:

- realtor.com
- zillow.com
- trulia.com

Realtor.com is a giant commercial realty sales site that just happens to list rentals. The interfaces to the above sites aren't utterly terrible, but they're certainly not great (i.e., not lightning fast, crowded with extraneous material, etc.).

The rental listings still pale in comparison to CL, but they've got much bigger pots on the stove. Who knows, one day they may decide to split off a sub-site to handle traditional residential, commercial, short-term and non-traditional rental properties.

That's why I was careful to say that Google expects people to "produce", not work ridiculous hours.

Plus, I have no idea what Google is expecting its works to do these days. You say one thing, employee #20 makes it sound like a meal with the family on Tuesday night is the exception, not the rule.

I will say that if Google doesn't keep a strong work ethic, it will go the way of Apple in the late 80's and early 90's. I was at Apple when the "work hard, play hard" ethic somehow shifted to just "play hard". Apple was on the verge of going out of business for a decade or so because of that lack of drive.

If real money becomes a "hot potato" how does that encourage long-term investment? And if the wealthy transfer their stagnant wealth to something other than currency, like gold or real estate, their dollar value will skyrocket over time as the value of the dollar plummets.
HBO Offers First Episode of The Newsroom Free Online
I guess my main question is: why would people voluntarily choose to use a medium of exchange that loses value over time? Does it require force by government to make people use this currency, or is there a reason they would start using it by themselves? Said another way: how would I benefit from using a medium of exchange that slowly loses its value?
"Grant your employees one must-have freedom"

I'm the CTO at a startup and I have employees that are my responsibility. The mere idea that it's appropriate for me to grant one of my people a personal freedom that was theirs to begin with is offensive.

A company that requires overwork from its people, especially salaried people, in order to sustain itself doesn't deserve to exist. Paid overtime is another story and is a common aspect of the how the manufacturing sector works.

I'm sure Mayer is a good manager, people have attested to as much in this thread. The article appears to be designed to hack together a particular attitude towards work/overwork piecemeal from an interview with Mayer that I don't think she adheres to.

This article makes me want to defenestrate myself and join the Socialist Party.

I'll be avoiding entrepreneur.com in future.
I think the first step to a new currency is to create the groundwork to experiment with a new currency. In other words, if you can create a network of independent people and organizations who are willing to do some of their not-so-important transactions with currency X, then you stand a much better chance of discovering and vetting the best currency X.

Find individuals, artists, independent businesses, etc, etc and get them registered into a database so that this network can internally experiment with currencies.
IMHO, MSFT's made somewhat strong progress on its integration of Skype (so far), promoting it as a strong value-add for the forthcoming XBox Live and WP8.

Yammer's a much-needed HR/quick collab tool for MSFT's appeal to CIOs, and I'm guessing it'll likely come to fruition as an integrated feature in Office 2018, and a beta feature in Office Live sooner than that. It's a good fit - much better than Salesforce buying them out to stifle MSFT/GOOG.
Great exploration!
The Yammer acquisition is consistent with one of Microsoft's core strengths (productivity and collaboration tools for the enterprise). Yammer is also a profitable business that's already really popular in Fortune 500 companies (by their own claims 85% of those companies, out of 200,000 total, which is pretty impressive).

Thanks stchangg! I'm on Khan Academy's school implementations team and just wanted to add that Maureen, who is also on the school implementations team, is a former 6th grade teacher. This summer, we also have 2 experienced math teachers working with us to flesh out a significant amount of our math content: Chris Talone (teacher at Marlborough, a girls' school in LA, who taught 7 levels of math simultaneously with Khan Academy this past year) and Jesse Roe (teacher at Summit, a charter school in San Jose, who taught Algebra and Geometry to 9th graders with Khan Academy this past year). We're really grateful for their thoughtful contributions which are grounded in years of experience teaching math to lots of different types of students.
Fun fact: if you have dark eyes, taking photographs of yourself in near-infrared will make your iris' appear light, which is good if you're going for that trendy vampire look.
I'm not really impressed by the technology behind this - IR pass plastics have been around for ages (the black plastic window on the front of your TV remote is an example).

But as for these guys...

"We have developed a technology to create covert concealment devices out of a material that black & white cameras can see through, BUT THE HUMAN EYE CANNOT!"

I may be wrong, but it seems to me that what they "developed" was a relationship with an injection molding company, whom they asked to use a slightly different, but still common plastic.

Fair enough, but I'm still wondering if I can just use "raw" OpenStreetMap data and load it into your app? Do you have some kind of internal "conversion" process to make the map usable with your app? maybe you could release that tool so we can do it for ourselves?

Some groups have had success in introducing local currencies with similar features. One path we've looked at is getting communities of people (perhaps starting with some #occupy groups and their supporters) to use it and convince local businesses to accept it, hence the subtitle of being the worlds first “global-community currency”.

We're open to other ideas as well.

Java being required means this is a complete non-starter for me.
I think its more than that. When you exceed by an order of magnitude the bitrate, different APIs will be needed to take advantage. Sure you can just send on a socket, but it will max out at the rate you can call that API (including kernel switch, copying data, waiting for a completion interrupt etc).

Some kind of virtual hardware or mapped memory will be desirable to achieve great leaps in bandwidth usage.
If you are saying yes to too many clients, increase your rate. Repeat this cycle until you reach the equilibrium you desire.
This is really a good buy for Microsoft. Yammer has the potential to eventually penetrate most of the medium to large enterprises. I have used it and it really is great tool for multi-location organizations.
How does this compare to Salesforce's Chatter? They seem to be the same thing, but I've heard Yammer is much better. I've only used Chatter.

Looks great so far! A question, though: why are the group sizes limited to 5 people? Is it an issue with the cross referencing being too strict to find good matches with more people? I would like to have a larger group size, 10 would be ideal, though even just 7 would be a big help.
I like the page. It looks simple but professional. Don't care so much about the design. Of course it shouldn't be ugly and hurt my eye. But on the other site you don't have to win a UX contest with your page.

I like the approach to fetch content from a website or a blog and create a Newsletter out of it. Most time I create a blog post and the same content I send out as a newsletter.

2 points I don't like.
First of all, there is the pricing? Is it really for free? How do you make money?
And the second point. There is the registration form? I saw that I can login via FB and Google. That's cool. But sometimes I want to sign up with my corporate identity. Login with FB and google should always be optional. But beside that it should be possible to sign up with username, email and password.

I hope my feedback is helpful.
Treasuries are not liquid assets for the average consumer -- they are held to maturity. This means that those with "modest" savings can't afford to own them, because of the liquidity risk.
