There were a couple different direction Mayer could have gone with Yahoo. Previous management was clearly considering taking Yahoo down the path of big Media, and monetizing the eyeballs by increasing engagement, whatever that took.

Mayer is hearkening back to the days of yore, when Yahoo was seen as a cool technology startup that the best engineers were excited about working at.

I have no idea which of those paths is the more profitable, or has the greatest chance of returning shareholder value, but I think we all know which one has the best chance of grabbing the imagination, and attracting the best employees.

I think Tesla is going after the premium buyers at the moment, but that can change very quickly if the Model S lives up to it's hype and they actually start turning a profit.

There are no cars on the market that even come close to the Model S, the Nissan Leaf has a pathetic 73 mile range. The Tesla is 10x the car the leaf is, performance and luxury-wise, and it get's almost 4 times the range on a single charge. The Model S Signature (equipped with an 85kWh battery for a 300 mile range) MSRPs at $87,900; a Nissan Leaf MSRPs at $37,250. Sure, that's a pretty significant jump in price, but when you consider the fact that the Model S competes with a BMW M5 performance-wise, you see it isn't all that crazy.

Even if you take the 40kWh Model S that will MSRP for $49,900 you can see that it's a way better deal than the Leaf. Sure, the Models is $12,650 more than the Leaf, but you actually get a reasonable range (160 miles) and the luxury and performance that the Leaf just cannot compete with.

My father had a 6 year old paid flickr account with 30k photos, 2m+ views, shut down without warning or explanation.

It contained tons of original genealogical research, macro shots of plants, photographs of family-related newspaper stories... And possibly some videos with copyrighted music clips.

It's a shame how far we've fallen from traditional justice, which involves:

1. right to confront your accuser,
2. right to legal representation,
3. knowing the charges and evidence against you
4. right to call witnesses and present evidence
5. judgement by your peers

I know, flickr owns the servers, they make the rules etc.

But as human beings, and as a company, I think it's a mistake for them to behave this way.

The feeling of injustice is really powerful, and I think everyone would be better served if companies didn't disregard it.

Honestly I barely knew about WATCH! But after reading through the docs, I don't think it would have worked in my case. I only had two keys: a list of pages to crawl, and a set of pages already crawled. WATCHing either key would have been too restrictive. Perhaps I could have approached it differently using lots of keys and GET/SET, but I like the simplicity of combining fewer keys with Redis's nice data structures.

It's an interesting question... does this policy (assuming it is enforced to a reasonable degree) provide enough disturbance among customers to galvanize the telecom industry into reform?

I doubt it, but I wouldn't be surprised to see small scale upheaval given enough brouhaha.
I think that in terms of pacing, it would be a lot better to have a much shorter cutscene followed by at least a little gameplay and then have some more cutscenes.

I only kept going because so many people here praised the art style (which is brilliant, by the way).

Pacing. Pacing. Pacing. Three cutscenes in a row isn't a video game, it's a lecture :)
Your ISP and the company that owns the wires to your house need not be the same. And I doubt the company that provides your copper backhaul is going to be involved in any "six strikes" laws.

Incidentally, I hope the ISPs that own everything lose their common-carrier status when they start disconnecting people over copyright claims. Look at the rage that copyright enforcement has when audio is stripped from YouTube videos. I don't think people are going to be happy when their net connection is cut off.

The six strikes system was organized with the help of the White House, so it is regulation in all but name. The fact that it is extralegal is troubling, because this means it is beyond the control of the people (via their elected representatives).

Ask HN: Hacker Retreat
I'm coming off working at a startup and looking for the next thing to do. I also love traveling and particularly beaches. My love for building things is only tied with my love for vacations, so why not combine the two? When you finish working for the day, why not just be on vacation for the next few hours before starting again the next day? I was thinking of putting together a "retreat" for hacking. Basically, you fly out to wherever the retreat is (think Thailand, Jamaica, Trinidad, Bali, etc.) and you pay for room and board for a month. You get to focus on product and build without the distractions of normal life in a house filled with other hackers like yourself. You don't have to worry about logistics, internet connectivity, food, etc. You get to stay in a beautiful new place that will both be exciting for the mind, but give you a chance to learn about a new place while still working. Costs will be dramatically lower than in most major cities in the US. Not to mention it would be crazy fun.

If you do think this is a reasonable idea, how much would you pay per month for a place to stay, and all your meals, utilities etc in an exotic beautiful location where you can just hack? (Small startups, you could have your whole team come and just focus for short bursts. Consultants, you could fly over to work on projects that don't require a lot of customer interaction etc).

If you're running RightScale, you're relying on AWS. Parts of New Relic. An Amazon affiliate service.

More generally, other tools such as a CDN, DNS, email delivery services, Facebook authentication, Twitter feeds, OpenStreetMap. Google APIs, mapping, Analytics, and others, all rely on some third-party infrastructure, if not AWS itself. I'm not saying that all sites rely on all of these, but many use one or more.

The Web is becoming increasing interconnected in ways that increase fragility.
I did not realize that the author was from the company named Heyzap. When they used it as an example of a good name, I scoffed and then hit the back button. That name is one of the worst out there. I don't know why in particular but it annoys the hell out of me every time I see it.

Would like opinion about a new school to teach Digital Marketing skills
Hi. Some other marketers and I are working on creating an immersion school to teach 25 expected technical digital marketing skills that CMO's and marketing leaders say Junior Digital Marketers need to know. Our survey of CMO's says they are underwhelmed with the skill sets that applicants, and even the people they hire, possess. The list of skills cover topical areas such as SEO, SEM, SocialCRM, Email, Analytics, Affiliate Marketing, Content and so on, plus over 2-dozen tool sets. We have a survey where we'd like to get feedback from people who are attempting to break into digital marketing. If you are one, then we'd love to have your thoughts. In the survey we list the 25 skills sets we've identified after researching this with over 25 CMO level people. So regardless of your interest in attending a school such as this, the list will give you a sense of what you need to know to land that dream digital marketing job. Here's a link to the survey... http://MarketingRules-S2.questionpro.com<p>Thanks for your help<p>Tim O'Connor

An open letter to those experienced in the IT telecommuting scene
Most studies find that marijuana use doesn't actually significantly impair driving ability. The increased risk is somewhere between 1.0 - 1.3x

Uh that meta-analysis of 9 studies you posted disagrees:

Specifically, drivers who test positive for marijuana or self-report using marijuana are more than twice as likely as other drivers to be involved in motor vehicle crashes. The increased risk of crash involvement associated with marijuana use is generally consistent across studies that were conducted in different geographic regions and driver populations, used different research design approaches, and were based on different methods for measuring marijuana use.

Further, one of those studies showed a 3.3x increase in crashes for high levels of THC-COOH in urine.

And as anyone who has been sufficiently stoned will tell you, there is no way in hell you should let them behind a wheel (or frankly, anyone who is mentally incapacitated). There is an upper limit just as there is for any number of prescription drugs that affect mental performance.
Right. But I'm married, so I don't care :)
> I think many people here are confused as to what constitutes "stuff".

I think you're just redefining "stuff" to suit your argument.

In normal terms "stuff" means "physical things".

You're redefining it to mean "physical things that aren't worth keeping".

If "stuff" only means "physical things that aren't worth keeping", what's the name for the "stuff" that is worth keeping?

Hmmm, I meet > 30 of these criteria (I don't like natto, at all), and I'm in Tokyo. Sadly (for you), I'm taken.

My advice is to perhaps reconsider your approach to your romantic life. Confusing Github with a dating service is kind of an obvious clue, but perhaps it's not so obvious to the person so confused. Also, this list is too long. Condense it down to, at most, three must-haves, and then judge case-by-case from there.
1.0 means a different thing to developers than it does to consumers. API backwards-compatibility is a very important thing, and calling this 1.0 is a signal to developers that it's safe to start building things on top of Wayland that should keep running without modifications for a very long time.
Yeah I've been doing the same actually heh.

baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them.

40:23 Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him.

41:1 And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh
dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.

41:2 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well favoured
kine and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow.

41:3 And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the
river, ill favoured and leanfleshed; and stood by the other kine upon
the brink of the river.

I don't think HN is the right place for this. Am I right in thinking that the only reason this is receiving attention here is because it is on github? Please correct me if I am wrong.
Sorry, but I just check this site and it has nothing to do with online activity or I am taking it wrong.
Isn't it related to SW..??

My question is related to online activity..
Sins of commission vs omission, both are a problem. This has tacit approval as a PC policy hack by the bad guys. Oh, and its about as voluntary as collusion. Or a protection racket. Just enough plausible deniability, opacity, and one-step-removedness to keep it under the radar. But I hope I;m wrong. =/
I think this could be considered a 'hack' in the loosest sense of the word.
The HN guidelines call for not saying things you wouldn't say to someone's face. Since your comment is one of the meanest things you could say to someone's face, it's inappropriate here.
I understand the mindset that this list is coming from. But in my experience, and my observations of others (had a female friend who had an even more extensive list- spoiler- she was atheist and the primary thing she insisted on, was she never wanted to even meet any christians-- but she ended up marrying one.)

You might find a guy who meets all of these criteria and is a total jerk. And you might end up marrying a guy who is wonderful, who happens to spend 16 hours on a weekend raiding in World of Warcraft.

Part of the process of dating is learning what is, and what is not important.

She's figured out that looks aren't important- that's great. I think she's probably reacting to a lot of things she's seeing in japanese culture- understandable.

But the real requirement -- find someone who makes your life better-- can't be easily quantified.

Thanks for the data. Gotta love people who test their hypothesis and share it with HN!
drop the list, socialize more!
Well a bit of mild narcissism isn't that bad, usually. Also, she's not demanding a great deal from a partner, it's just that the list is needlessly exclusive, if that makes sense.

I do find it sad that someone can make it to their late thirties and still be this clueless, though.
Good thinking. Make sure we never allow people to do anything that may cause them to be an impaired driver. Can't let anyone get too tired, or drink too much, or eat too much.

Your post screams of canna-phobia. It's like people having gut reactions to homosexuality because they're conditioned against it.
I see that, but I think this is more of a service misuse than a hack. There aren't really any advantages or 'cool' things about using github for this, bar the novelty.
I have an Argentinian friend and will probably visit at some point in the future :). How is it?

A few months ago, the District of Columbia (a Baltimore neighbor) increased their speed camera fines to minimum of $150 per violation. The late fee is double the fine if, for example, one changes addresses and the USPS doesn't forward the ticket to the new address like they should (or by design). That would be a total rage-inducing price tag of $300.
