DM;HT - I like this.

One thing to note, all of those things will matter when it comes time to determining valuation and risk-level of you/your team, and potentially if you'll be a fit for the investment firm. I do agree if you have a product and traction that it will be easier to find money, and you'll likely find money from somewhere - though the terms offered will be based on the overall package.
It started at midday and there are already such scenes, I wonder what will happen during peak commute times.

Note that the first area to have power restored is NDMC, which houses top politicians and bureaucrats.

There is a ton of Languages for erlangs BEAM,

My favorite: Joxa a Clojure inspired (really just inspired ;)) lisp http://joxa.org/

Then there are Elixir (mentioned already) and Reia,
Both seem to be inspired by Ruby.
http://reia-lang.org/
http://elixir-lang.org/

Erlang has a far superior computational model an implementation than Node, it can handle way more requests faster and is newcomer friendlier as any web request is simply a message received.

I would much prefer my store rank than my personal blog.

I found something I didn't understand. Googling the issue only found pages about content scraping. I thought I would bring this issue to people who know more than me.
Well, any time you're looking at companies before vs after the death of their founder, you've got the confounding factor that the company is always younger when the founder is alive.

Google founders Brin and Page were what, 25 when they founded Google? If they've got a 75 year life expectancy, Google will be a 50 year old company when they die. I'd have thought a 50 year old Google would look more like a stable blue chip company than a fast-moving frenetic startup.
I 100% agree with you wrt to their reasoning. It does seem sound given the problems they are trying to solve requiring diverse skills etc. Interesting that they contract it out. Thanks :)
I'd like to know under what circumstances you think that a company or individual should, or would, pay for advertising which is not (by definition) used?

even if it were at a different price, why would anyone pay for advertising, knowing full well that it would not be viewed?

For a serious long term project I'd certainly use 3.x, to be future proof. It'll probably take some sorting out compatible packages, but it prevents a technical debt. Also the added performance, features and cleanups are worth it.

For a quick hack I'd still use 2.7 because everything is compatible so it should be easier to get up and running.
The performance of doing it in nginx is _much_ better, and you can't do anything complex enough for unit tests to pay off. For the SSI stuff, you have your web framework of choice produce html with SSI tags in it, cache that, and nginx just swaps out the volatile bits at the last second (even for pages in cache).
The cultural issues are usually the largest issue (qv. Conway's Law). You don't need to stop writing new code, but you do need to stop adding crap code (or at least stop adding it faster than you can clean it up).

It's why I'm a big fan of code ownership as a negative reinforcement tool. Despite it being a really bad idea, it does tend to rein in the cowboys - because they're too busy fixing the bugs in their code to add new ones.
Ask HN: Does listening to music keep you focused?
I've read an article about the new trend in the Olympic games is that swimmers are walking out to the pool wearing headphones - and keeping them on right up until the last seconds before they climb onto the blocks.

It seems that music keep them concentrated up until the last minute when they jump onto the pool and it allows them to not be distracted by the crowd.

I am now curious what kind of music you guys are listening to in order to stay focus and increase your concentration.

Anyone?

Its shameful that people like Rahul Tyagi and Ankit Fadia making fool to many organisation and students in India by showing kiddy tricks.
Most surprising part is Ankit is getting business and he is teaching Hacking in some of the university in India.

I'm wondering if anybody has done a definitive study on the conversion value of a "click" on google versus Facebook, both in terms of brand recognition, immediate conversion (purchase), and long term conversion (delayed purchase)

People do this all the time - there are whole advertising optimization companies built around doing it automatically.

You won't usually see public numbers for it (because it is pretty site/product specific), but the IAB has some public studies on the display/brand recognition side.
I have a "motivation" playlist on Spotify, the songs either have lyrics which are either motivating or non-existent. I find while coding or writing that lyrics can get in the way too so I have some playlists which are focused on purely lyric-free songs...

Some funk or disco (Sly and the Family Stone) in the morning to start the engines, some non-vocal groove (Medeski, Martin & Wood) throughout the day, and some energetic rock (Queen) to draw out extra juice by the end of the day.

When going gets tough, some really loud noise (Mike Patton).

When I learn something new intensively, some baroque polyphony or nothing.

Of course, the music I really care about I don't listen while I'm working.

Google replaces video chat in Gmail with Hangouts
Simple. Pages with long content under the fold. Most of the ad tags are called with page load, and there will be many situations where the ads will be served but not seen. The situation cannot be helped.

In case you're wondering about asynchronous ad-loading, i.e only load an ad when the tag scrolls into the viewport, no that is not a viable option because the world out there is crazily varied, and not everyone uses the latest nightly build of Chromium. There are a lot of bad javascript engines out there, so I wouldn't jump to assume that async loading of ads would work across the board. Trust me I've worked on this problem before.

As for why different pricing would work: what I had meant was billing post-facto.

So for example, you may have an IO saying you're buying 300k imps per day at $1 CPM viewed and $0.1 unviewed. At the end of the day you may have 150k viewed and 150k unviewed. You only pay $165 instead of $300

I didn't mean to imply that video game programmers were stupid... :)

I was saying it seems more likely to me that any random developer making a stupid mistake like this seems more likely than a company having real motivation to create this kind of security hole.

I suppose, alternatively, this could have been an individual developer's intent. An exploit like this would get a pretty penny on the exploit market, I'd think.
I am always amazed by people who claim Apple is ''breaking new ground''. Thats the exact opposite of what they do. They are never the first ones to introduce new devices or new services. They are rather followers than innovators. They did not invent mp3players, they did not invent smartphones and certainly did not invent tablet computers. All you can say is that they are good/fierce competitors, and good marketers, but ''breaking ground'' classes you either as an ignorant or a member of the mac cult.

As far as I know, Indians are more prepared for such failures than most people. Every (middle class) Indian house I know has batteries or a generator because of the daily load shedding.

Such failures somewhat complicate the commendable struggles against new nuclear plants and dams (e.g., http://www.frontlineonnet.com/fl2803/stories/201102112803090...)

It's pretty common, I can recall lots of these cases around IPOs that didn't sky rocket as planned.

This one may be a little more unique because NASDAQ seems to have had actual technical issues with the IPOD. Given the current stock proceed of FB though, I'm curious how their argument is framed.
This has been a very good resource in the past. Thanks for sharing!
This isn't about the support level of Facebook's share price. UBS claims that NASDAQ was de facto dysfunctional. Too many buy orders were triggered, cancellations not being fulfilled and so on.
In the javascript console. Enter that number, it gets repeated back to you. Enter a number 1 bigger and it comes back with 1e21.

IMO it's more likely to be that they know full well those bots are skewing the figures underpinning their valuation and their general popularity with investors. They're trying to quietly move the narrative away from that part by focusing on the naming issue.
This is a new spin on an old phenomenon. For banner advertising, a tiny percentage of the population (< 10%) contributes a massive percentage of all display ad clicks (> 80%). She's disproportionately a lower-middle to lower-income older American female in the Midwest who plays the lottery and subscribes to Reader's Digest. Totally not joking. A word often used to describe this segment is "compulsive clicker."

Online publishers are well aware of this and, well, do not go out of their way to highlight this fact on their rate cards. Instead they'll provide their audience information and often do not mention that they know their typical click is not representative of their audience. Given that they're the "whales" of the CPC business model, they're frequently not quality-priced down to zero, unless they so dominate an advertiser's campaign that the advertiser complains.

There are related issues with almost all online advertising. One should be very attentive to the default settings at one's major advertising network of choice, because the default settings almost always group the prime rib cut of the attention market with the pink slime and sell it at prime rib prices. (Examples: there are strong differences in pricing with regards to user location. Many advertising platforms, ahem, make it very straightforward for American advertisers to advertise their wares to users in developing markets. All you have to do is not opt out.)
It's about controlling your emotional response (not dynamics really), which music does great. And you have the ability to control what you listen to. Conclusion is self-evident.
Music in itself is distracting - especially if you love certain music and dislike doing work - then you will focus on what you love.

Music will only help you concentrate if the music is about the very thing you want to be concentrating on.

Perhaps they are listening to some variation of "SWIM SWIM SWIM".
No, these are the things covered by the litigation specialists at corporate law firms.
When it comes to the advertising giants, it's not a bad strategy to write a blog post but send it as an email first. Realistically, no matter how long or short your email is, you're unlikely to get a helpful response from either google or facebook to your problem, especially if that problem is on the scale of "You need to change your entire ad algorithm (and also give my money back) - unless you somehow manage to turn the issue into a PR problem for them, by, for example, getting it on the front page of hacker news.

You're more likely to get on the front page of hacker news if you can show that FB is aware of the problem but doesn't care to make any changes, which you can do by posting the email exchange. And you're also more likely to get the HN readers interested in an email that's basically a meaty blog post than in a short exchange that goes "Your algorithm sucks and I want my money back. :("
Even Indians are not used to such large scale load shedding, where almost half of the country is without power.
I've found silenced office much more distracting than one filled with some tunes or radio.

You might recall the article about anacoustic chamber here on HN - the very silence of it made you brain perceive otherwise imperceptible sounds much louder.
Is it just me or is the adoption of HTML5 stalling?

So much innovation seems to be coming out of the Javascript, client side JS, mobile development stacks that HTML5 seems from the outside like a set of solutions to partially solved problems. It doesn't seem to be getting as much attention as it might.

I admit I don't mix in these circles much so interested in learning here...

It might be that they need to maintain a particular rhythm in swimming, and they're just playing the song which happens to be or is artificially made to be that exact target ideal beat.

Might even be that there's no music in there, just the beat.

I'm pretty sure NASDAQ has their asses covered with armor-clad underwear so thick that a bunker buster penetrator missile will feel impotent.

That said, time to load up the popcorn machine.
In short the reasons for failures are something like this.

a. No proper control systems/automation to detect and prevent overload/tripping in case of excessive power consumption by any particular state.

b. No back up/redundancy planning.

c. The grid architecture is badly designed, and leads to cascading failures of sub grids.

d. Low quality equipment which fails often.

India's energy infrastructure is ancient. Its patch work for overgrown villages(Read cities) totally incapable of meeting any sort of dependable demands.

Add to this massive bureaucracy, license raj and corruption in purchase of equipment in electricity boards. They buy low quality equipment which fails often(because they are bribed to do so), since equipment fails often they buy more.

The state of affairs is so bad, transformers fail and burst even if rains a little heavily. What follows next is hours together of effort installing and fixing new transformers. This is a common scenario in many areas in a city like Bangalore. This is apart for hours together scale of unscheduled load shedding which is frequent.

On top of this there are frequent protests and lobbying to stop the construction of power plants(Hydel/Nuclear or otherwise).

And these are all state controlled monopolies. Recently I heard, Electricity board in Bangalore is complaining against builders of gated communities(Flats and Villas) and forcing them to use Govt supplied equipment. Because the private builders are using better quality equipment which is exposing and is making the Govt board look bad in front of them.

Any attempt to correct this system is met by massive political hostility. And people proposing modern changes are perceived as anti-Indian culture capitalist stooges being used by companies in the west to sell their equipment.
Well hopefully this will happen for a few more days, and that will galvanize people enough to get someone to deal with the rampant power theft, and terrible power gen vs demand ratio.

I think you've picked a terrible example. I had to buy this very adapter yesterday, and I slowly start to wonder if I should've bought the USB one instead. It looks almost the same and doesn't prevent me from connecting an external DVI screen like the Thunderbolt adapter does. Maybe there's a Y-piece, but it'll certainly be another $29 or more.

Do you use email signatures and salutations?
I'm seeing more and more email missing signatures and salutations. Based on the fact that this information is generally in the email headers I can understand why.

Do you use them?
My brain algo is something like this:

If I know exactly what I want I search in Google and might or might not click on the first result (the ad) since sometimes the ad is exactly the same as the first organic result (and sometimes with a discount because you go to a landing page instead of, say, the home page of that company's site).

If I want something but have no idea which company I want to buy from I usually do look into the ads first and click on those that seem directed at me (because, as you said, they actively want me to buy from them).
As an Australian I always find it bizarre this desire to goto the US when so much untapped opportunity exists in the region. Indonesia (240m), China (1344m), Japan (127m), Australia (22m) . All of which have have very little competition in so many areas.

I know there is a lot more money in the US but without any connections the only way you're going to get anywhere is by having a proven product. So why not exploit advantages closer to home.

Would love to know why you say what you do. Do you work in the field?

I just switched over to a firm in the power generator sector in India, and the Govt Contracts for power are beasts. Those are things which we make sure we go over every page to fulfill.

They are also not that archaic - their backup/redundancy planning exists, at least on paper. We've supplied it for various institutions/bodies. Plus the Engineers in BHEL and the like are pretty smart chaps, sure they may be slow but they are far from being daft. (Again! My experience, and mileage will vary)

Not sure about how bad the architecture is, or how badly designed it is either. From what I recall quality levels are a patchwork. As I assume are equipment quality levels.

I'm not well versed in this, so I'm more interested in learning, whats going on.
