Cool website though! I've always wondered how often decent domain names lapsed.
There are actually a few more developers at Silent Circle who are just as good as those two, so it really is an amazingly strong team.
More simply - Bezos isn't saying you shouldn't get a patent, and use it. He's saying you shouldn't be able to get certain types of patents.

He's not calling his competitors unethical for using patents against him. He's saying the game is at fault, not the players.

"I thought PHP would be smart enough to optimise this."

I wish Ubuntu and debian would bin code names. I'm forever confused as to which release version has which code name. there needs to be one clear name for the release, which should be the version number.
If these guys want it to go more mainstream they should let people purchase PRE-PAID cards. I love the idea of easy encryption but hate the SaaS. (That's fine for webservices but this is more of a phone-service. 20 bucks a/month is too much for most people).

I would have replied something similar if that was the question :-) (I use PG a lot these days).

Agreed on the first point (but I'm not sure you get exactly the same type of flexibility in all my use cases - I'll have to make a closer comparison).

For the second point, well not having to handle the schema for ETL jobs is sometimes fairly useful and removes a lot of cruft, that was part of my point (those ETL are code-based, only relying on MongoDB as a flexible store).
Is MongoDB more marketing hype than quality product? I've heard it before and this article seems to point in that direction as well.

Thanks for pointing that out!

Here is a presentation (slides + video) I gave about a Ruby ETL, for instance. It illustrates the typical use cases I run into.

Adding column per searchable field is precisely what I wanted to avoid :-)

If you need to store multiple forms types, it gets hairy very fast.

MongoDB allows to query inside the data (which is not a blob in that case).
let’s measure our core platform by mobile metrics, things like battery life, number of running processes, memory footprint, and polish the rough edges that we find when we do that. The tighter we can get the core, the better we will do on laptops and the cloud, too.

The SAT is similar. Quoting from Wikipedia: "For each correct answer, one raw point is added. For each incorrect answer one-fourth of a point is deducted. ... This ensures that a student's mathematically expected gain from guessing is zero."

I suspect that 'crushing it' first referred to standard usage of the male sexual organ and later was extended to other usages.
I have to disagree with you most emphatically. PCI DSS was a response to a very bad issue, which was and is credit card fraud.

If you look at the DSS, it's eminently sensible and in fact if you implement it properly you will most definitely have a secure environment for credit card transactions. If you do not follow it, then you are leaving yourself at significant risk to be being breached and credit card data being stolen.

I'm curious though: what part of the PCI-DSS merely creates "a racket", and what parts "extract money"?
You must have some strange definition of "modern".
Thanks for elaborating! This is much needed and spot on :-)

A long while back I built a somewhat complex survey app: I can confirm it's fairly more complicated to handle with a RDBMs, compared to a document store.

These ideas sound a lot like one of the more amusing texts by Marx that I rediscovered just the other day. In Swedish it's called "brottets produktivitet" which roughly translates to "the productivity of the criminal".

With every crime a chain of business emerge where only first link is in itself criminal. For the internet security companies, graffiti removal services, security consultants, lawyers, anti-theft system resellers, locksmiths, insurance company and so on – it's business as usual.

I've found a part of text here: http://www2.cddc.vt.edu/marxists/archive/deleon/pdf/1905/apr...

“A philosopher ‘produces’ ideas, a poet poems, a preacher sermons, a professor text-books, and so forth. A criminal ‘produces’ crimes. If we look more closely at the relation in which this branch of industry stands to society, not a few prejudices will drop.
“It is not crimes alone that the criminal ‘produces’; he also ‘produces’ criminal legislation, and, as a consequence, he is also the first mover in the ‘production’ of the professors who ‘produce’ lectures thereon, along with the inevitable text-books in which these professors cast their lectures as ‘goods’ on the markets of the world. . . .
“Furthermore, the criminal ‘produces’ all the criminal and correctionary branches of society—police, judges, hangmen, juries, etc., besides all the several branches of industry demanded by these, and all of which constitute just so many categories in the scale of social labor, develop different faculties of the human mind, create new wants and new means whereby to satisfy them. . . .
“The criminal ‘produces’ an impression—good or bad, as the case may be. He thereby ‘renders a service’ to the moral and aesthetic sentiments of the public. It is not only text-books on criminal legislation that the criminal ‘produces’; he ‘produces’ not merely the penal law itself, and consequently the legislators of that law. He also ‘produces’ art, literature, novels, even tragedies as shown by the appearance of Mullner’s Tanjte, Schiller’s Robbers, the Oedipus, and Richard III. The criminal breaks the monotony and humdrum security of bourgeois life, he thereby insures it against stagnation, and he arouses that excitement and restlessness without which even the spur of competition would be blunted. Thus the criminal furnishes the stimulants to the productive forces.”

No surprise to see the GIS part of MongoDB is built-in instead of an extension of some kind. I know a couple of people who used PG without even knowing there was a GIS extension.

These days I have lost enough fat that I can, by eyeballing, see what I had for dinner the night before. Lots of carbs --> retain water --> some veins disappear. Few carbs --> less water retained --> veins more visible.

At the moment I try to schedule particularly carby dinners for hypertrophy days, on the theory that this will work better for sarcoplasmic hypertrophy purposes.

But at this point in the discussion I am well and truly majoring in the minors. The headline is still that I am losing fat through caloric deficit and that for me, the easiest way to do so is intermittent fasting.

Great site, excellent idea. If you want to make this useful to slightly larger audience you could add pagerank and backlink information for the domains. Pagerank is simple enough to determine (libraries will check it against the google toolbar). For backlinks you can easily create a link to reports on majesticseo.com or a similar service.
>No one wants to be thought of as a “user”

I don't want to be considered customer when I'm in front of my computer. Buyer, maybe when I'm just paying for something, but never customer. It has so many bad connotations. Calling me user emphasizes my actions as an independent agent, but calling me customer emphasizes the fact that I'm perceived as a bag of cash to drain.
I see your point but I do not fully agree with your view. There are so many times where we see patterns, correlations emerging from the data, which make no sense whatsoever. Statistical correlations can happen by chance (by definition) and something sticking out does not mean that something is happening. You would need to repeat the analysis on different pools of data to prove that there is indeed something you are missing.

By looking at established segments, at least you know where to look for things that MAY make sense, and then derive hypothesis.

If not, you end with bullcrap analysis we see every single day in literature where researchers find a "link between vegetarians and personality disorder" or things like that, without even probing the fact such links may be coincidental at best.

From what I can tell they never even considered how to monetize the company, on that basis it should be allowed to go bust.

I can't see what value there is there apart from the team, and that isn't worth a blockbuster sum.

Redis is not magic, in this talk we’ll rummage through source code, start reading C, examine the redis protocol, event loop and some datastructures. It should provide enough information that you won’t fear diving in the code yourself and have a good overview of what’s going on behind the curtain.

We just got done with the twiliocon hackathon..

The number is: 1-408-622-1117

We use sound-cloud + twilio to create a house radio station (We can change the style in 10 seconds), basically the gist is some peeps are broke, and nobody owns a radio, so use sound-cloud's cc music to entertain the world, even those in the 3rd world without data plans (this would require twilio providing phone numbers in that area of course).
The fact that the comparables are rising in price, and aid is available, makes the hikes at state schools thinkable.

Federal subsidies aren't the only reason for higher-educational inflation but there are growing hints that subsidies get largely captured by fee-increases. See for example these discussions:

I’ve been working on some similar analysis with EC2 and other providers. I think the big missing point in this post (acknowledged by the author) is with regards to EBS optimized instances and provisioned IOPS where we’ve observed a dramatic improvement in IO consistency. Another interesting observation I've experienced is that performance consistency often declines using multi-EBS volume raid, likely due to variations in spindle tenancy or network latency variations. EBS test volumes were 300GB. Better performance/consistency is possible using larger EBS volume sizes.

Here are links to a couple summaries of the analysis I’ve done on EC2, Rackspace and HP. I plan on writing a blog post regarding this analysis soon.

Disk Performance:
The value columns is a percentage relative to a baremetal baseline 15k SAS drive, where 100% signifies comparable performance. Benchmarks included in this measurement are fio (4k random read/write/rw; 1m sequential read/write/rw), fio – Intel IOMeter pattern, CompileBench, Postmark, TioBench and AIO stress:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20765204/1012-disk-io-analysis/disk-...

Disk IO Consistency:
The value column is a percentage relative to the same baseline. A value less than 100 represents better IO consistency than the baseline. The value is calculated by running multiple tests on an instance, measuring the standard deviation of IOPS between tests, and comparing those standard deviations to the baseline. Testing was conducted over a period of a month on multiple instances in different AZs.

The New Grooveshark
The genesis of this post was me thinking: "man, I don't really want to move to Silicon Valley." I have a family, and I'm happy where we live.

I started looking at where some of my favorite bootstrapped companies were headquartered: almost all of them were located outside of the Valley (with the exception of GitHub [no longer bootstrapped]).

I have a lot of respect for Rob Walling and his business philosophy. I just looked him up: he lives in Fresno!

While it depends on the idea, it seems there are many software companies that could really be started anywhere.

The one notable challenge: finding talent (which seems to be an issue everywhere, and might be resolved by allowing people to work remotely).

Don't Make Startup Equity Mistakes
Looking to simplify the equity situation in your startup? Want to remove the guesswork from how much equity to give employees? If so, you NEED to read this book!

I've been burned several times in my career with complicated equity situations. I have fiercely negotiated large starting equity positions with companies that never meaningfully found product market fit and are now out of business. I have had close founder friendships torn apart during an insignificant monetization event because both sides were dissatisfied with allocation of ownership that was incorrectly guessed many years earlier. I have also worked for late stage companies where the initial share allocation was decided many years ago, far away from the current growth business where all the risk and upside to the company's future now lies. These situations are complicated, stress-inducing, and frankly not fair for all involved parties -- Trust me, I was there.

I read an article that the author, Mike Moyer, wrote on BuiltInChicago.com that summarized the problem of slicing the equity pie problem, and his book's nutshell answer. Because of my history, the article resonated with me, and I downloaded the sample on my iPhone Kindle App. After reading the sample, my bell rang, and I not only had to read the Slicing Pie book, I had to read it TONIGHT!

I bought the full book and hunkered down on my mission to read it start to finish.

Slicing Pie: A Guide to Dividing Up Early-Stage Startup Equity
Not long ago, I was approached by one of my students at Northwestern, who was distraught over a situation in a fledging company that she had started in my entrepreneurship class. Her group had decided to split the equity in her company equally – 25 percent each. Now that the class was over, the other three partners weren’t pulling their weight. Two of them were pretty much out of the picture, and the third was only doing a little. However, all of them wanted to keep their share of the equity or sell it at an unreasonable price. The student was on the edge of tears. She didn’t know what to do. She found herself a minority shareholder in a company that she had dreamed about starting for several years. Now it seemed that the idea was going to die on the vine.

I wish this was the only time I’d heard this story, but it’s not. It happens all the time.

In spite of an overwhelming number of books offering advice to entrepreneurs, there are surprisingly few about how to properly divide up the startup equity pie to avoid situations like my students’. The last time I counted, the number was zero. So I wrote one, called Slicing Pie, which as far as I know is the only book on the subject that exists.

Because there have been no good resources, many entrepreneurs make the mistake of calling a lawyer or an accountant to help them solve the problem. These people aren’t free, and the money spent is money that could have otherwise been used for marketing, product development, or anything else that helps a company grow. Lawyers and accountants (as much as I love them) don’t really help young companies grow.
TechCrunch once said, "it's expensive to be right, it's cheap to be first."

Being first gets you a ton of page views for little work, you don't have to be right. Even being wrong is beneficial these days, since they get to make a big story about the correction too.
Circa 1992 I read a book titled something like "How to Speed and Get Away With It". It was written by a retired state trooper. One of the many things he mentioned was that the middle of the month is the best time to speed because troopers tended to fill their quotas early and late.

The most useful piece of advice, though, was on how to pull over. Turns out that every time a cop pulls somebody over, he's worried about getting smooshed by traffic or shot by a loon. His advice, which I've followed faithfully, is to pull waaaay over, so the cop can park close to traffic and create a bubble of protected space. Then you turn on the interior lights, roll down the windows, turn off the car, throw the keys on the dash, and hold the steering wheel at the top with both hands.

Authority figures like respect, and this display of considerate compliance has worked wonders for me.
Solving the skills gap problem
Nice work - It's very effective: I went to buy like, 3 of the domains. Then realised I had no need for them and put my credit card away!
In the recent news about the course, a headline reads: "Make a student tutorial video, Win an iPad" (https://class.coursera.org/interactivepython-2012-001/class/...) - Sounds wierd to give a non-programmable device to someone who is following a course on interactive programming. Someone did not get the point.
As a dev, this sort of marketing tends to push me to your competitor (Twilio, to be clear). I've done a little work with both, though, and Tropo is good enough that your time is better spent on technical merits than this sort of thing. Or, start a series going over the gnarly technical problems and 10,000 ft overview of Tropo's architecture. I'm sure that'd be an interesting read, and if it adds a tool to my toolbox, I'll likely remember Tropo when I need a voice service again.

Though, this all hinges on me being your target market. Quite an assumption on my part!
The code names are not the problem, they are easy to remember and give an operating system more personality. It's the sheer number of Ubuntu releases within the time frame of one Windows or OS X release.

Most people do not have any problem remembering OS X's code names. In fact, many of my friends and colleagues refer to OS X versions by their feline names. Most would be hard-pressed to come up with the version number of, say, Snow Leopard.

(iOS is somewhat peculiar in this respect. Since people always tend to run the latest version, people often don't refer to particular versions.)
I think Coursera needs to do a course on game engine architecture with real-world examples (idtech, ogre).
