If Calvin is reading this thread:

I am sure you are a most upstanding, interesting, and funny fellow. I respect that you appear to possess a love of hats.

Despite my sincerest regards for your person and well being, I must say that the UI of your site is somewhat hard to use. I, and others like me, read the web as much from our small screen devices as we do from our big screens.

Your site, when viewed on an iPhone, has a large overlay at the bottom containing a photo of you wearing a hat and your name, and it takes up nearly 1/3 of the entire viewable screen. It makes reading the content of your site uncomfortable, and nigh impossible. This is at least the 2nd article from your site which I have had to avoid from Hacker News. This is disappointing, since having made the homepage several times indicates you are someone I might find interesting. As it stands, I am bereft of being able to discovering your thoughts and reflecting on them myself.

Please, consider a modification to your UI for those of us who only have small viewports with which to interact with the world.
I understand you may be under NDA, as well as the general pressure to not reveal knowledge that is the basis of your career, but would you care to point out any open literature you think is worthwhile to study?
So traditional marketing 101 is geared towards larger companies with lesser operating uncertainity and more resources.

As a startup, the key question that helps prioritize between everything you mentioned is "what activities are hygiene activities, versus what are growth enhancers?". Defining your customer, gathering feedback, iterating on product and packaging all fall under hygiene activities. Meaning-if you dont get them right they will hurt your ability to grow. Pricing the product right and the rest of biz dev, marketing and sales activities are focused on enhancing growth. In a startup, the center of gravity for the hygiene activity is the product team (of course this depends on the type of startups). Thus, the job of the non product folks is getting the product found and getting folks to use the product.

If I understand correctly, you can now keep track of a repository in two ways: starring it or watching it. If you star it, it's more like a "favorite" in that you can find it easily in the future, but that's it. If you watch it, its activity shows up in your stream much like before. This allows you to separate repositories you like and will want to find later from repositories you want to participate in and follow the development of.
After publishing a video on improving the first run experience for software applications, I now have a small flock of little birds telling me that you should really, really consider doing this.

Dropbox has one of the best I've ever seen -- seriously, sit regular users down and watch them interact with it, it will be worth your time. There is still significant value to doing this even if you're not going to nail the execution nearly as well as they did. It should be embarrassing how easy it is to wring huge increases out of the standard drop-folks-in-the-app-and-pray-they-think-like-your-tech-lead experience.

Similar to what Swivel was trying to do. Great idea, nice execution, but really how will you monetize this? There is no real market for consumer grade "intuitive" statistical software. While this will appeal to casual data analyzers, these users arnt ready to spend much money on tools. And those doing data analysis for a living prefer their power tools: R, SAS, Matlab, NumPy, etc.
You can tell gcc to keep around the assembly files it generates and it is human readable, does it mean that C code compiled with gcc is actually written in assembly? Is the litmus that they are caching the intermediates of the compilation on disk instead of throwing them away and regenerating them every time?

Yes, Visa offer debit clearing as well as credit-card clearing. As do Mastercard (Maestro). How switching to a debit card would help, I'm not sure, unless it was a Visa debit ... and in which case, how's that different?

By consensus you mean misconception? I don't remember Macbook Air "clones" being cheaper by $1000. Some are even more expensive.
OTOH, I prefer to use computers, not specs. "Multitouch trackpad" may look the same in specs, but in practice it makes huge difference.

Disagree? Feel free to put your arguments where your vote button is ;)
The author's assessment is fair; I felt offended on a road trip in Ontario when I found out that the Tim Hortons only accepted Mastercard. An international event like this should not accept only a single type of credit card.

I do not understand the reasoning behind this by the Olympic committee, because in all likelihood the big corporate sponsors are using the event to entertain clients, and they will likely pay with company Amex cards. Imagine being a businessperson whose company shelled out a sponsorship cost greater than the GDP of some of the competing countries, only to be embarrassed while buying drinks or food for a client because you have to pay for the items on a personal card. Even more embarrassing would be if their personal card was a Mastercard. Angering these types of visitors is not what behooves the olympic committee.

Skimming the slide set #1 (Systems) is highly useful, even for people that don't do machine learning.

For example, he covers the frequency of hardware failure, and also gives latencies for different operations (L1 cache read, disk read, etc.)

Slide 25 lists many different types of data on the web, categorized. This jumped out at me because, reading the list in one big picture got the gears in my head turning about potential data sources, and what could be done with them.
If you wanted to estimate value, you could do that based on the fixed cost you mentioned, as well as the ground-side operation and maintenance costs (including salaries).

And assuming you were talking about the market price of using the channel for just anything, add some valuation of the opportunity costs of not using the line for the things NASA will use it for.

edit: why bother saying this? Private industry is entering space, professionals who know something (unlike me) will be very interested in figuring out the value of things NASA has been doing.

untaxed? really? I thought you were supposed to report and pay taxes on all income.
Everything seems obvious in hindsight. Trust me, if what Dropbox has done is as obvious as you seem to claim, a lot more software vendors would have done it.
Totally agree! NO amount of marketing, sales, business development can overcome a bad product or sub par customer support. A wholistic approach will always win over a piecemeal approach but in a resource constrained environment, we are better off picking the one or two things that give us the best bang for the buck. The "programmatic" way of running marketing isn't optimal for small startups
This doesn't seem very profitable when so many textbooks come out with a new edition every year.

Hey,

- the data we used was crawled by Kwak et. al in 2009. We wanted to use a real social network dataset for the experiment and that was the largest/most useful one we could find. Other than de-duplication we did not make any modifications to the dataset, so the statistics reported in their paper still hold:
http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.153....

- You mean what is the overhead induced by pre-computing the stream edge rather than collecting the relevant streams at query time? You are right that this requires a significant amount of storage space, however, as you also pointed out, this will get cold quickly and be sitting on disk only (i.e. not taking up space in the valuable cache). The reason this is very efficient is because of the time-based vertex centric index we build for the stream edges. This allows us to quickly pull out the most recent tweets for any user. If we had to compute those at query time, we would have to traverse to each person followed, get their 10 most recent tweets and then merge those in-memory. That would be significantly more expensive and since stream reading is probably the most frequent activity on twitter, pre-computing it saves a lot of time at the expense of inexpensive disk storage.
I'll tell you what, I'd much rather be working amongst a team of engineers who are learning to run a business than a team of MBA types who are learning the ins and outs of software development. I'd put my money on a team of engineers every time too. But I also steer clear of anyone who describes themself as a "hacker". Code is a craft, MacGuyvering something together is no way to build a sustainable business.
zeromail.com asks you to pay. It used to have a $100 lifetime deal but has moved to monthly payments.

FYI I am not affiliated with them in any way. Just thought I would pipe up with a premium mail service I am aware of that's actually quite good.
Most hackers I know understand all this, but minus the fancy business school acronyms.
I don't understand why you feel his work ability is at all correlated with this. It seems to me I hear the same narrative frequently with American politicians: "Clinton's sexual misconduct means he's bound to be a bad president," etc.

This goes to the concept of "character," which I honestly don't understand. Why do we insist that people be flawless in all aspects of their lives? I find history to be full of examples of people who excel at one trait but are terrible at another.

Doesn't he get a private life, uncorrelated with work? I mean, I'd understand it if the article pointed out he was a heavy drug user who needed to steal for a habit, but the only thing this guy seems to have done wrong was handle stupid laws in a poor way. Does that stop him dealing with stocks? I don't think the two correlate, and I think people ought to have to make more significant mistakes before its time to discard them.

I guess what I feel here is this could be anyone, and I'm uncomfortable with such a punishment for a small error.
Yes I'm assuming I call a company having lost all access. Would a company have a different way of establishing identity for someone who lost all access if they've implemented TFA?

Not sure if it's sentence structure or my stupidity, but I'm not sure what you're saying here :)

Are you saying that all software applications should have a 'how it works' video, or that you made a video about the 'first run experience' and everyone should have a better 'first run experience'?

Thanks in advance!
Since it's proven we can never exceed the speed of light, and it takes ~14 minutes for light to travel to Mars...

No.
Absolutely, without NoSQL solutions like Cassandra Titan would not be possible.

Regarding Zookeeper: We actually build a locking system into Titan that uses quorum reads/writes with time-outs and cleanup to ensure consistency for certain edge/property types as defined inside Titan. This gives you consistency guarantees out of the box without having to introduce another component (like Zookeeper) into your deployment. For infrequent lock usage (which I strongly encourage ;-) this should be sufficient. For frequent locking, something like Zookeeper is far superior.

Heh, because confusing ML the language with "machine learning" wasn't enough, let's introduce SML so that we can confuse it with Standard ML :P.

The ML/ML conflict actually forces me to backtrack reading some sentences simply because I always assume the person is talking about the language.
The essay that preceded the book is also food for thought. It's freely available online: http://www.maa.org/devlin/LockhartsLament.pdf
I have been using it in Vietnam for over a year without any major problems and I have suggested a few family members (who are not tech savvy at all) to use it too.

The app works very good on both Android and iOS (I personally use the iOS app because I flashed new ROM all the time and sometimes Titanium Backup of the app doesn't work). I tried the SMS a few times, the message normally arrives within one minute.
We started out using PayPal which has a really similar fee schedule to Stripe ($30/month, swipe fee, 2.9% of the total etc.)

Stripe doesn't have a monthly fee at all.
Look at the prices - e.g. $170 new, $100 to rent.

I'm not sure about urban areas, but the further out you go, the worse Telstra (3G coverage) gets. I live about 100k's outside of Adelaide and Optus is superior by far to Telstra and Vodafone (3). All their prices and plans for mobile data are atrocious, so we go with Internode, who lease from Optus and whose prices, while still atrocious, are overall better. And everything about Internode, especially their customer service, is better. My two cents.
Why: Weird Stats in Curiosity's video on Youtube
First of all, your proyect is OK as is, I respect your criteria, of course.

My point in that regard was about the 3GHz requirement was because of the implementation, mainly, not because accuracy requirement. I bet 2-4x faster is possible, without reducing portability. If for "maintainability and readability" you mean keep it in C++ (L1 code cache impact, indirections, data structure penalty, etc.), I agree, that will be a penalty as fix cost in time and space.
Is it just me, or does SML already mean Standard ML?
Thanks for the suggestions. It's a delicate balance between appearing "complete" with the offering versus leaving headroom for customization for larger customers. Increasingly with the consumerization of the enterprise do you think that custom development, consulting etc are a must have to servicing an enterprise?

Gadgets and Apps Driving Medical Care - A Review
The medical app market is growing faster than any other mobile applications market. Products like smart phones, tablet computers and personal digital assistants devices have pushed the entry of mobile applications into the healthcare market.

You are correct. I have just checked my code that I used a couple of years ago to generate random numbers using %. I had the impression back then, when I then switched to arc4random_uniform that it works much better. It must have been something different or my perception tricks me. Nevertheless not knowing or caring about uniformly distributed random numbers and charging $1000/hours seems a bit strange. One could argue that % needs less CPU cycles but then again: Does this matter? Using arc4random_uniform makes your code much more readable etc. So from a pure code review standpoint of view I would argue that arc4random_uniform should be used if possible. Of course he might also not have used it because of compatibility reasons. Who knows.

Btw: I would like to talk to you in private. How can I contact you?
Sorry for the oblique phrasing -- I was trying to avoid being self-promotional. I'll rephrase to make it more comprehensible but it's going to require an ad:

I made https://training.kalzumeus.com <-- a video on this subject. (The site trades access to the video for your email address and permission to contact you.)

Subsequently to publishing that, people who I am declining to name (+) got in touch with me and presented several independent confirmations that, yep, their first-run experiences that they wrote using the video's advice did meaningful things to their business.

+ There is an idiom in English "A little bird told me that...", which reports a comment made by someone whose identity you want to keep secret. A "flock of little birds" is an amusing image for reporting the same comment made by many people, or at least I thought it was.
Actually the part about search engines doesn't seem to be true... I just performed searches using Google, Yahoo, and Bing and got links to CL postings that were made within the last hour.

Share your Twitter
Hey. I started using Twitter a little while ago and have not seen a post like this on here.

I thought it would be cool to follow some of the people on here and see what they are doing and be able to lend support or what not.

I don't have many friends that are that into programming and other things people here find interesting (I live in a smallish city) and instead of following some bigger names I was hoping to meet some new people working on exciting things and hopefully make connections with people living in other places!

I am a CS student in Canada. I will graduate in the following year. I have a few projects going on this summer and usually show them off on Twitter and here. Few recents are:
