I don't think they have ditched the idea. You can still see those molded in separators around the sides. I am on a good carrier, so I have never had problems with the 4 antenna design, even though I can get the bars to go down by "holding it wrong".

I like the idea of the body serving the roles of the case, the antenna and providing structural support. So hopefully this is version 3 which fixes all the problems they had.

Crowd-sourced recommendations are inherently flawed. People just aren't the same. My favorite movie of all time is There Will Be Blood and no matter how smart an application may be, it will never connect the dots to realize that my second-favorite movie of all time is Lost In Translation. People are strange and recommendations are an educated guess at best.
0) Embed apps on the frontend: The APIs you mention are good, but they are backend APIs or APIs for customizing (say) maps within a widget on your site. I'm talking about opening up the frontend too. A prosaic way of thinking about it is an App Store for each large Yahoo subdomain, starting with search.yahoo.com but ultimately allowing very deep apps that pull from many Yahoo properties. Importantly, app installation buttons should be heavily but tastefully promoted: every relevant URL, map result, or email from an app provider should allow a one-click install with ID and billing optionally from Yahoo.

Read that GMail API again - it is designed to do exactly what you are proposing. The section you need to read is https://developers.google.com/google-apps/gmail/#gadgets

Both Yahoo & Google tried this previously with OpenSocial. It bombed badly.

Re: Github, it'd be pretty interesting to allow one click deploys from github.com to a Yahoo app or widget. Millions of engineers would also see the Yahoo logo all day long.
I've been doing this for a long time now, probably for the 8-10 months, and I can safely say its awesome. Xamarin is awesome.

Not all eggs in one basket, etc.
I did something far less sophisticated many years ago for my undergraduate degree. Basically a Navier-Stokes solver using finite-differencing techniques to model gas particulates in an enclosed area. This was to support a larger framework to pinpoint things like electrical fires using sensors in something like the space shuttle. Originally written in C++ but ported to Fortran 90 as my grad student couldn't read C++ (or maybe it was my C++).

The technique here which I guess is effectively finite element was far more difficult to implement at the time and reserved for professional tools like Fluent (my company today uses Fluent for this stuff today though not me directly and I'm sure we pay quite a bit for it.)

I browsed through the code and it was far better than anything I ever wrote at university. I think its deceptive to say 9 lines of code given the volume of support libraries but I would have killed to get my hands on this 17 years ago. Boundary conditions and configuring the actual volume was actually the hard part and took a majority of my time back then and I'm guessing that probably hasn't changed. Anyway cool stuff if only a few years late for me to make use of.
... This is my last year participating in the contest as a one man team. The same big teams always win and the little guys stand no real chance. Here are my suggestions for future contests:

1. Create team divisions so that big teams with dozens of members and dozens of GPUs would only compete with each other. Sort of similar to divisions in boxing (heavy weights, middle weights, light weights). That would make for a more evenly balanced contest and ensure that small teams have just as much of a chance to win as the big teams.

2. Provide bonus points to teams that use software they wrote themselves or hardware they built themselves from scratch. Anyone can download and execute other people's software and/or buy lots of high-priced video cards. Neither of those require much thought or creativity and neither of those are a cool hack suitable for Defcon.
I disagree; corporate funding (ads and advertisers) need not have influence over the institution itself in order to place ads in a news source. From a journalistic standpoint, your value is based upon how trustworthy you are as a company. If you are trustworthy, you have readers, and you will never be short on advertisers.

Readers can stop reading if the newspaper stops agreeing with its viewpoints perhaps even more readily than advertisers can. Coming from Utah most of the uber-conservatives that live near me mock the New York Times as propaganda yet watch Fox News and call it "truth." Unfortunately, as was mentioned offhand in Aaron Sorkin's "Newsroom," today, "People don't choose the opinions they want, they choose the facts they want." Reader supported is just as prone to bias as is corporate supported.
Liked your idea and will follow your developments on GitHub with an eye towards how you're going to integrate a CoreData client-side library. Besides the front-end issues you highlight, a key challenge will be synchronization: unless you don't plan to allow your users to work offline?

I agree with your hope that Rails could somehow be extended to cover this mobile use case, wish I had the chops to create a Devise+MobileAPI generator with a iOS native MongoDB-sychro engine. (Can Rails generators synthesize ObjectiveC source code?)

By the way, every time I think about doing something about this I keep an eye on the folks at Parse.com: seems like every week they're solving more and more of the backend part of this problem. And they're working on front-end libraries as well...

"Supported by the readers" is an extremely (and intentionally) misleading title. Reader revenue has only just surpassed advertiser revenue, and The New York Times still has huge net losses quarter after quarter (this round we're talking $88.1 million).

Also, I can't be the only one that finds the tone of the article ironic considering how hard it was to work your way through the spammy ads before actually reading it.

One thing that comes to mind- you would probably want a period of time where the 12-mark card has no prefilled marks, so that customers adjust. If you switch directly from 10-mark to 12-mark with two prefilled, the trick is a little more apparent.
Console.fm is great. Thanks.

Personally I'm not sure how effective loyalty cards can be. I prefer to shop places where the perceived prices are reasonable over shops that offer big discounts through loyalty programs (e.g. Trader Joe's vs. just about any supermarket chain). The reasoning is that I prefer the freedom to do without mental calculations over rewards programs over actual dollar savings. That is, I'd rather pay more not to have to think about cards, stamps, rewards, etc.
This is a cool project, but so far none of the music does it for me.

My personal collection is a combination of the following:

http://soundcloud.com/3lau/

http://soundcloud.com/r3hab/

http://soundcloud.com/morganpage/

All #winning. It's also great for running.

There are also tons of free podcasts online. Above & Beyond's Trance Around the World is fantastic (2 hours, weekly, it's priceless). 3LAU does one. Last but CERTAINLY not least, Morgan Page puts out some sick beats. He's also really into clean energy lately, he just picked up a Tesla and is getting all kinds of solar panels installed on his house. Morgan Page also does a weekly podcast which I love.

Again, don't mean to degrade the original post I just wanted to pipe in some of the stuff that really helps me get in the zone and jam :)

Interesting idea - I think the reason they don't exist is maybe that the dev probably wouldn't be happy about paying a finders fee to the agent? I mean recruiters obviously have fees, but these are normally paid by the employer and hidden from the dev (from my own limited experience the fee can be in the 10000s).

Some possible payment models - a) a percentage of the successful position. b) an hourly rate for doing the task of job hunting. c) a percentage combined with a one-off application fee.

I think the MonoTouch guys are handling this in the only sensible way. Non-UI code is shared across platforms but UI code is written per-platform using the native toolkit. I think this is about as close as you're going to get without compromising user experience.
Well, if you've tried making a Gmail gadget, it involves unnecessary XML wrangling, many separate pages of documentation, and is nowhere near as simple as it could be. Stripe/Square vs. Paypal show how a good API can transform a category.

Moreover Gmail Gadgets are not heavily promoted nor a profit center for Google, so they are an afterthought. As indirect proof of this, when pg had that recent thread on fixing email, had the Gmail API (+ Gadgets) been a strong API for working with email, people would have brought that up as the obvious solution.

As for OpenSocial, that seemed to me to be big companies banding against Facebook, not actually opening up the web. But we can agree to disagree here.
From the post it sounds like the CEO is the chief funder — so while it's not 100% clear if he was the founder (yes maybe he did purchase the business from a previous owner) he or she has "put their money where their mouth is". Although on the flip side the post doesn't indicate that the CEO isn't the original founder.

But the notion of "taking credit" is sort of at odds with the micromanagement of the employees. Also for a CEO that's also a funder the only real question is making money or not. For example I'm sure even when you had a CEO like Steve Jobs who always thanked his workers, the reality is that most people only know who Steve Jobs is rather than individual team members.
Seems like a weak jump, visually, from the previous generation. Screen is definitely lengthened and there are obvious differences on the dock, but Apple is usually much bolder in design changes for a new product.
None of this is about the food. It never has or will be.

Thanks for the post; running a company is not only about making the right decisions, it is also about living with the bad ones. I think this blog post is a good testimony that helps with that.
You are correct about many of these points.

The other thing worth mentioning re:Google internal support is that Orkut had some, um, early controversy: http://www.wired.com/techbiz/media/news/2004/06/64046
That means that technical marketers are not growth hackers, they are good marketers who are keeping up to date with what's needed to do their job.

But it's more than that. A growth hacker invents hacks as a way to grow - clever, non obvious methods that drive adoption.

Things like the Reddit sockpupperts, the Dropbox two-sided incentive system or the Yammer variation of the Freemium business model are all things where a combination of technical AND commercial knowledge was the thing that drove the companies success.

That isn't technical marketing - it is elements of business model design, integration architecture and startup accounting.

If you think of a better name, excellent - but "technical marketer" undersells what is happening here.
I'm interested in machine learning, though I haven't had much exposure to that yet. I'd be interested in most things, probably.

I'm a rising sophomore, though I've self studied a few of my future classes (data structures and programming in C, discrete math) CS 223 and 202 at Yale, respectively. Apart from the languages and frameworks I listed above, I'm comfortable with HTML and CSS and ready to pick up anything new.

I live in California, though I can be anywhere if if the internship is reasonably paid.
Does "gimme the next one cap'n" just advance to the next song, or is there some Pandora-type 'I hate this song, never play it' thing going on? Presumably the former but thought I'd ask.

Also, the insertion of extra text into my copy of "gimme the next one cap'n" was annoying, though I see its utility.
QuickDialog (http://escoz.com/open-source/quickdialog).

Showing a dialog:

NSDictionary *dataDict = @{'title':'example', 'other':'other text'};
QRootElement *root = [[QRootElement alloc] initWithJSONFile:@"file" andData:dataDict];
QuickDialogController *myDialogController = [QuickDialogController controllerForRoot:root];
[self presentModalViewController:navigation animated:YES];

example json form definition file to match:

{
"grouped": true,
"title": "Example QuickDialog Form",
"controllerName": "QuickDialogController",
"sections": [
{
"elements": [
{
"type": "QEntryElement",
"title": "Title",
"placeholder": "item title",
"bind": "textValue:title" },
{ "type": "QMultilineElement",
"title": "Other info",
"bind": "textValue:other" }
]
}
]
}

data from dataDict is merged into the fields defined in the json definition file, using the bindings specified in the 'bind' property.

It's really awesome, and makes all kinds of dynamic views possible. I was skeptical at first (as I am about most cocoa libraries) but I'm pretty sold on it since I gave it a fair shot.
thanks for your input. i've started speaking with a few social media professionals about this.

A different way to think of it is a meta-network perhaps - so it wouldn't be just about aggregate stats concerning your posts but more like an overlying network and profile that is fed by the person's existing accounts. An activity feed of posts from people across all of your social graphs along with an additional follow model to help lower the noise of posts you dont care about.

consider the chance to use niche networks without the identity fragmentation that comes with it. an example is that i use Instagram to post photos but my grandmother, who would love to see what i'm up to, doesn't have an Instagram account or even know what it is so she is missing out on a major part of my life. With showw.me i get to use (and change) as many services as i want but i can still give out one page that i know will always display what i'm up to.
I'm trying very hard to avoid the "success if getting investment" path because I think it's an anti-pattern, which in turn leads to other anti-patterns. It's much much better to get funded initially out of your own pocket, and then next out of customer's pockets. The earlier you get a real customer who pays you for what you give them, the earlier you validate your business/product, and you indeed have a real business, with effectively an infinite runway.
I remember when I interned at Yahoo! several years ago, Yahoo! Shine, their women's lifestyle portal, had a fairly large audience. According to Alexa, it's still one of their larger web properties:

mail.yahoo.com 48.76%
login.yahoo.com 29.14%
yahoo.com 24.39%
search.yahoo.com 19.22%

news.yahoo.com 15.16%
sports.yahoo.com 6.35%
finance.yahoo.com 6.25%
omg.yahoo.com 5.86%
my.yahoo.com 4.71%

Actually, I think you were looking for this HN thread: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4309177 Yours links to the HN thread about the article written in response to this NY Times article.
No, "preference" implies intention and active choice. A preference does not exist in the absence of a human actor to have it.

That there is a majority is a statistical fact. Whether anyone has a preference for male employees is the controversial question you refer to.
Err, Yahoo is making less profit, but it's still making $1B profit on the bottom line last year. Why is everyone acting like it's on it's beyond redemption?

Sure, Yahoo and Microsoft are boring, but they're still profitable.

"The phones are HTC One V phones running Android 4.0.3. Calls can be routed over the private GSM network or over Defcon's Wi-Fi network. The network is not encrypted and there is no emergency call phone number.

The "Ninja Tel" network is "the biggest open BTS (base transceiver station) network ever," said Ninja Michael J.J. Tiffany. BTS networks are designed to allow for software-based switching technology that can be housed in small spaces, such as a van."
I think Dave's point is powerful because of that: while most of the tech community doesn't know how to reach women, the combination of Marissa and yahoo's natural media strengths could make it work really well. Google couldn't possible do that...

Subject it to critical thought, like you should be doing with everything else. If it is sound, it will hold up to being logically dissected, and wrestled with in your mind. If we're talking about something that could change one's worldview, then you also need to evaluate whether it resonates with your own belief system.

For example, I liked Thus Spoke Zarathrusta's concept of the Ubermensch as a goal for aspiration, but realized I would never want to deify myself as much as Nietzsche espoused.
Nice. The piece mentions something about TWC trying to push people into contracts, any idea if that's true?
Looks like console.fm crashed... I got a 502 bad gateway. MOAR BACKENDS NOW!
The yahoo logo is not flash. It is a span with this image: http://l.yimg.com/a/i/ww/met/yahoo_logo_us_061509.png.

What your flashblock is actually blocking is an easter egg where if you click on exclamation point, a sound plays that sings the Yahoo jingle.
"not much can go wrong with an airbag" -- not true. The mission designers for MER (Spirit/Opportunity) admitted that a wrong bounce or an initial collision with a sharp rock could spell doom.

I think the airbag relies considerably more on good luck. You can't really model collisions the way you can a descent on a cable. The latter is 100% engineered.
All of the music comes from two json objects, one is 'fast' and the other is 'faster'. Clicking "the last one was sweet" goes back a song, and "gimme the next one cap'n" goes forward a song, from whatever list you're currently playing (fast or faster).
There's a difference between questioning something having taken the time to understand it on its own terms and questioning something because it hasn't gotten around to expressing itself in yours.

UK enforces Pegi video game ratings system
But do we even know the 2/12 variant is worse on "ease of understanding"? Maybe it's more understandable, and congruent with the buyer's real best interest, because it's not subject to an endpoint/inertia-of-zero bias that depresses sales from the 0/10 case.

Note that these same sorts of perceptual influences are also the basis for all the do-gooder initiatives that get proposed by Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein in Nudge. (So in fact I would grant there is at least one more dimension beyond deception: is the influence clearly against someone's interest? But there should be no presumption that whatever they would have done without the influence was the purest expression of their interests.)

Part of my ethical criteria is: what rules work? Part of 'work' is that they are evaluable. An accusation of undue influence, even though every observable aspect of a communication is true and fully disclosed, is very hard to evaluate. It's not very useful as a rule for deciding what one can do, or for assessing 'guilt' after the fact.

Using a bit of communication that is false on its face is easy to evaluate. It's fraud, and it's clearly unethical.

'Manipulation' is a loaded term. It just means "influence we don't like". In a commercial setting, reasonable people already assume a seller is crafting their communication to increase sales. Calling cleverly-crafted commercial influence 'unethical manipulation', even when it remains true in all observable aspects, overloads and dilutes the idea of what's ethical.

Is A/B testing that results in color, wording, and layout changes that increase sales 'unethical manipulation'? Perhaps if it goes so far, in total effect, as to create a tangibly false idea in the customer's minds. But not simply because it incrementally nudges someone towards a purchase.
