This is a great summary from that link Gabe:

"we've focused on building a better search engine by concentrating on what we think are long-term value-adds -- having way more instant answers, way less spam, real privacy and a better overall search experience."

Now I'd probably word it 'building a better search experience' and remove the duplicate at the end but that's just word-smithing. One of reason we love you guys is that we share the same values in this regard. The more 'engine-like' you get away from 'experience-like' the more dubious Google and Bing get with sharing their index with you :-)

And, like you guys, we like to partner with folks who can provide the 'long tail' as it were.

Ask HN: What's the cheapest way to have a PDF printed and mailed to you?
Hi HN,

Simple question- is there a simple answer?

I understand there are local pickup alternatives like [FedEx Office](http://fedex.com/office) and [Staples Copy Center](www.staplescopycenter.com). Is there any application that can do this easily? An API would be incredible.
With Wunderlist we've already seen many repeat users and have daily users adding new tasks, especially during the week. With Wunderlist 2 we will have more features that will help grow this.

Fred Wilson wrote about user metrics, he called it the 30/10/10 rule (http://www.avc.com/a_vc/2011/07/301010.html) - 30% monthly active users, 10% daily active users and 10% new users each month. We can apply this rule to Wunderlist, but as we're in the 'task' market, we generally have more monthly users than daily users - because the product is more optimized for weekly use.
The issue you refer to is in a poorly formed, ad-hoc serialization format. It has nothing to do with representation of variables at runtime. It has nothing to do with the language.

It is a programming error, not an inherent flaw in the language.
How Yipit deploys from Github with multiple private repos
You made two points that sound contradictory without further explanation, if you don't mind providing more insight. First, you mentioned that you want to stick with Rails without duplicating views, etc. Second, you mention that you're using Socket.IO (i.e.: Node.JS as opposed to Ruby/Rails).

How are you integrating Socket.IO with your Rails app? Do you have a separate Node.JS server that is just glossed over in your post, or do you use something like execjs to integrate Socket.IO directly into your Rails app?

Thanks for sharing!
This guy has a very bright future ahead of him.

Absolutely agreed. I was also 5-0 Google. Examples: "mdc date" "python math" Google is the clear winner here, as well as many other scenarios where more specific searches yield incredibly higher quality results.

Am surprised 4A suits haven't been filed en masse. Would be great for rights restoration if some lawyer could whip up a "filing suit over right X violations without a lawyer" guidebook, keeping it simple & cheap and leveraging sheer numbers in doing so (rather than trying to concoct the perfect case, just overwhelm the system with enough conflicting verdicts that the Supreme Court has to resolve it, with enough range in cases that nuanced narrow verdicts are impossible).

Matt, they seem to have re-appeared in the trash!

Yesterday was some very odd behavior, so I must have missed them in the morning.

Basically:

1) I logged into gmail, and saw only one email that I had gotten that morning, everything else was gone. I looked in trash, and the things in it were from over a week ago [I've been out of town at Burning Man for the last week], so things hadn't just been moved to trash.

2) Did the "recover deleted messages" request via google, and a few hours got a response that some things should be restored to "All Mail", but still didn't see much.

3) Now they're back!

This is great! :)

Write code in the sun: Kindle DX as E Ink computer monitor
Very true. And it's highly unlikely that another distribution channel could come along and convince the same publisher to sell the ebooks to them at a lower price, so they could compete with Amazon without selling below cost.

It seems a lot of people are fixated on the idea that digital goods have no cost, which is simply untrue. Even discounting the fact that the seller has to purchase the item from the publisher (under the traditional model), there's still a base cost associated with the good because of licensing issues. People need to get paid, and certainly some people do get paid on a royalty basis. As a trivial example, someone needs to pay the author, which is typically done through royalties. But the publisher also needs to get paid, as does anyone the publisher employs.

If you're self-publishing and selling on your own storefront, then no there's probably no marginal cost as you don't have any sort of license or royalty agreements with yourself. But as soon as multiple parties are involved, things change.
I read your article and surfed around for better information, but couldn't find much. So here's a bunch of conjecture, feel free to skip it. Link me better stuff if you find any.

First, you can't go giving away other peoples money and call it 'charity', or measure it against actual charitable activity.

As far as I can tell, the 'best in the world' status relates only to the fact that they 'give' (redistribute) a higher percent of GDP than any other nation. They still sell or give arms to despots (as even your article points out). Much of their aid is in the form of government purchase of Swedish products, then given away, which surely leads to some crony backroom deals with industry leaders, as all protectionist measures do, you know, pork barrel politics.

My assumption, and the reason that it's easy to smear, is that people with power aren't angels, and taking money from locals to deliver off to some foreign land may be for reasons that are less than scrupulous or benevolent, that there is inherent conflict of interest (conditions for corruption) in every government expenditure.

Of course all such matters will be offset by very visible donations to the humanitarian effort of the day, in this case, Syria. Whatever form their aid to the 'refugees' takes there, unless it's going straight into the mouths of the needy, you'd better bet some of it will be redirected into winning the fight.
Stuxnet was a covert intelligence operation. The FBI is a whole different beast than a "secret intelligence service".

> Scala does a wonderful thing, it allows enterprise developers to taste some of the goodies of Ruby / Python but stay in static Java land.

rpearl already made a similar objection, but I think you're confusing things a bit here. How much of Scala is influenced by Ruby and Python? Aren't the main goodies in Scala related to the type system?

Programmers using those "mainstream" dynamically typed languages don't have terribly much to be smug about, sure they're less verbose than Java, but I'd suggest they should also invest in learning a functional language or two, like Scala.
Any tips on building an RESTful API with django?
Maybe a better way to tackle this would be to balance things up by imposing a weight based import duty that we shall call the enviromental TAX. This would be the way to address this and also balance out the whole import/export aspect, especialy if every country sat down and looked it from a impact perspective. But in a way that if you import a product in component and in part form that they both at least cost the same import TAX wise, that would be a start at least.

But at the very least the current situation is only accomodating with large plants like Sony's who are able to talk to goverments about TAX breaks and deals to actualy make a plant and the cost of import viable. This needs to be addressed as a whole and allow even medium sized companies to compete, so that even little people have some hope.

Sadly until enough people that people listern to speak up this situation will just stagnate on as it is. I'm full of hope this news item may eventualy put some momentum behind the needed changes and at the very least get them on the table in goverment so they start to look at the issues.
I hope that some gamers who want to squeeze every last drop out of their system will switch to improve performance. If enough games are ported (i.e., all the Source-based ones), this could very well happen. I know some hardcore gamers who primarily play one or two games, such as CSS and TF2.

Do you have any source for that? I'm in Israel and I seem to be getting the old beta on almost all platforms, but from time to time I do get the new one.
It's a cool hack, but with 32 bit ARM chips as cheap as they are, I'm a bit skeptical that anyone really wants an 8-bit phone that's "only" a phone when you can get a smartphone for a similar hardware cost.

Also, I'm trying to envision the slice of the world that simultaneously cares about an "open source" cell phone, but doesn't want a full featured smart phone. Maybe people like that exist, but I certainly don't know any of them (I know that doesn't prove anything, just saying...)

One application I think would be pretty cool for this would be some kind of remote monitoring, or remote controlled device - if you could get an SMS plan with that shield and then hook up sensors/actuators to the arduino, you could potentially get data off it via SMS, or control it remotely via SMS. That would be cool.
The old problem of power vs. security. You can't trust your users will be smart enough to understand "this extension should't access all sites", but you can just block the functionality from all the non-evil developers.

Apple's engineering group is much smaller than Microsoft's (or probably anyone else's). What's the GDP per engineer at Apple vs any other product company (like MSFT, Google or Samsung)?

That's noble and all, but you know what, it's still a toolbar. If I see it in an installer it's still going to put a bad taste in my mouth. You know as well as I do that 95% of those installs are not intentional, or are manipulated. The kinds of users that install toolbars are not computer savvy, and when the computer says "you should install this thing", they're the ones to say "accept".

Disclosure: barracuda pay me to do stuff
Hmmm, you raise a fair point in that, when you look at the import/export tax offset then its a whole new area in regards to importing compenents and manufacturing in the UK and then exporting. Not sure if import/export TAX works like VAT in that you can offset VAT you pay against what you charge, though I suspect paying import TAX and then exporting that item and expecting some kind of offset would make sence.
Learning "deep" statistics, probability, and applied models of the same. My loose plan is to hack at applied stuff with Clojure and J instead of R. R is clearly the right choice for this, with SAS/Stata/SPSS right behind in terms of increasing employability.

Neither Clojure or J are particular skills for me either, so I am somewhat doing the worst approach - tackling a new project with a new set of tools . . .
It might be premature to think that. There has so far only been one set of benchmarks showing better performance and that was more to do with OpenGL vs Direct3D.

Unless games start taking more steps forwards in terms of graphical requirements I don't know if this is much of a concern anyway.

Great, and I will keep not using your site, and I will keep filing complaints through every forum possible until we eventually end up on a new site and the circle of life of

useful startup--->gets an ego and stops caring about customers--->replaced by new useful startup

continues.

EDIT: The best part was they accused me of three things:
1) Being a newer member (I opened my account in 2000 so I'm not sure I agree.)
2) Not having enough account history. (In the 12 years I've been a member I tend to make 1-2 transactions per month).
3) The transaction being "abnormally large". (I get paid rent and pay rent through the account for thousands of dollars at a time, the transaction in question was for $400 dollars)

Twitter and HootSuite have entered into a "partnership", there are some clients Twitter have deemed "useful" or in some way beneficial to the service as a whole, as such these partners get special treatment. I'd imagine HootSuite doesn't have to worry about client limits and things like that, however in return they have to help Twitter drive consumers back to Twitter.com/Twitter owned apps. That's my speculation, HootSuite are killing off Seesmic and their "consumer" options because Twitter asked them too.
