Ha, I guess you are right. Though my parents might well have taken me with them on one of their many trips to an untold number of stores and I might have actually been present when they picked a toilet. I don’t remember, I was three at the time.

What I wanted to say that I can’t understand not picking the toilet for a house when you build it (or if you decide to renovate a house), I obviously didn’t pick the toilet in my current apartment.

I, personally, don't like the idea of a warm seat. All I'll be thinking about is "someone else just used this toilet".

Did you read the article or just the title? The subject-referenced policy Obama signed is pretty much detailed high-level policy guidance on what is considered network defense and what is considered cyber operations, and in doing so sets out rules for usage of such. This is exactly the kind of thing CIA, Dept. of State, Dept. of Defense, etc. don't need being made directly available to Iran, China, Russia, non-state actors, etc.

The article also notes that corresponding guidance for cooperation between the government and civilian agencies is still being worked both on Capitol Hill and as a separate Executive Order.

The thing that stands out to me is that the text styles are basically browser default, in particular the Times New Roman (i.e. serif) font, and that distinctive dark blue for all links. Most sites use sans-serif fonts, which are more readable at lower resolutions. While most sites retain blue as the color for in-line links, links that are structural (e.g. the menus on left and right) tend to be given styles more akin to the rest of the site.

Also those graphics would be JPG on a modern site, not GIF. The lower bit depth on the colors is quite apparent.

On what sites did the Google Ads appear? In my limited testing, I found that unless you explicitly limit exposure to selected venues, the majority of the click throughs will be accidental or fraudulent. Given the very small niche you are aiming for, it wouldn't surprise me if none of those who clicked were legitimate leads.

As others have said, you got lots of useful data: paying per click for ads on the internet is probably not a good way to spend your advertising dollars. Don't repeat the test at this scale until you have a theory on how you have fixed this.

I think that the overall idea that marketing will become better will be true, but not until after it becomes worse.

Now that the best minds of political campaigning have shown the way forward on the bring your friends along front, the hacks are all going to take a whack at it. And they will kick that horse to death and probably decry the failure of personalized marketing.

However, there will still be the professionals who know how to use personalized email marketing surgically to accomplish a goal. Perhaps they will have to be more implicit in the future. They will also have to accept that there is a ceiling to the power of this new tool. I don't believe that that ceiling has been hit yet however.

I bought a crazy expensive Toto when rebuilding the master bathroom because it was advertised to be quiet. Flushing sounded like you were using depth charges. A stream of plumbers, contractors, and sales reps came to look at the installation and eventually decided Toto must have changed something in that model, and swapped it for a mere mortal toilet that won't wake the entire household at night.

Maybe their brand hasn't earned enough credibility to command the prices.
I think it's just cultural: American men are not expected to be discreet or embarrassed in "practical" all-male environments such as locker rooms and public toilets. A loud belch or other powerful, resounding emanation signals manliness... and it was funny when you were 7, it's still a bit funny now.
I agree with you. I am calling them total bullshit on the scientific part.

They could at least try to put the Alpha Cassiopeiae and and Beta Cassiopeiae in the same "general" direction from the Sun. It would fool more people.

Distances seem to be correct but the coordinates aren't true at all.

Regardless, it looks beautiful. But it would be more beautiful if you could actually see their true locations. Without it, it is a just a game ui demo.
Since I haven't found a roadmap or mission statement on their site, would it be correct to summarize Elementary OS as an attempt to simply user interfaces and application development?

I laughed when I read the "Minimal Documentation" guideline in their design philosophy. Yes, aiming to make an application intuitive is great, but I first thought of how many developers achieve the Minimal Documentation goal in another sense.

It looks like they have put a lot of work into applications that meet their design goals, instead of rolling just another distro remix with the same old repositories, although it is listed as Ubuntu based on DistroWatch.

In case anyone else wants to look at their forum, it's at http://elementaryforums.org/
For such a UX focused project I find it unfortunate that they don't have a link to it on their support page and their answer service is listed as down from the home page even though I was able to reach it through Google.
No worries, those were some really good points. Things that I would definitely consider if this were my project.

As for explicit strategy, my guess is as good as yours!

The thing I like most in python is not python itself but a "pythonic way". "Pythonic" > Python.

In my opinion, it's not "pythonic" to use DBMS, just because it written in python.

So the "selling point" is flawed.

I'm using python since 2006. I've made a lot of evangelizing it. It is my weapon of choice for many tasks.
And I will never use python for many other tasks.

Yea, a "Town or Zip Code" placeholder would help direct users a bit.
Rob Pike is very smart guy, but he works in relative isolation from other programmers. He usually creates his own tools and works with people that are like minded. That is why he thinks it is so easy to just go directly to the code and achieve what he wants writing the right function to solve the right problem.

OO was created to deal with the general issue of organizing lots of code around a reasonable design. It is a tool for industrial level programming, where there are thousands of programmers, many of them with bellow average skills, contributing to a single codebase. In that aspect I think OO has been very successful, because it provides a framework to simplify design decisions.
Well we've got a solid one now, at least! Very clear.

But I totally get the judgement of the previous editor as well. When in doubt, and given a poor headline (nah, it didn't say .com), go with the headline of the article that is linked. It's a good rule of thumb, and this was the exception.

I'd certainly never say don't do something because devs can't be trusted with it, though I don't think that's Apple's logic here.

If it's an intentional thing I think they genuinely (possibly mistakenly but genuinely) believe that it's unnecessary rather than that it would be useful but abused.

Indeed, I check the HN comments for interesting conversation, not drivel about whether or not the submitted article's title is sensationalist.
See, my parents are the kind of people who would micromanage that kind of stuff. I mean, I know they would, because they did when they recently renovated their bathroom. This time they paid people to do the actual work (everyone’s getting older), but they made sure to get the right kinds of tiles and drew a plan for the tilers on how to arrange the tiles. Which tiles to cut in which way, and where to, for example, put the patterned tiles.

My dislike of OOP is its emphasis on state. If you do foo.bar(), then you have changed the state of foo, even for other references to it. If you do foo=bar(foo), then the state of the original data is unchanged, while code below behaves the same way. In most cases, I find minimizing state minimizes bugs.

I do however like objects, and think that they can have a very good role in code.

I think our ability to resist marketing decreases marginally with each marginal increase in quality. At a certain point it does become useful, and we don't want to resist. Telling me about a product I really do want and/or need and can afford, that I ultimately buy, is not the type of marketing we will learn to resist. To a certain extent we even seek it out (Twitter followers, catalog subscriptions, etc.)

I'm mixed on whether this is a good way to handle reporting something like this to the public. On the one hand, they didn't release the guy's name, which is completely and entirely appropriate, and I commend them for doing so. On the other hand, giving so many details—many of which are not relevant to the public, and probably were not intended for the public—gives this PSA somewhat of a "well, screw you too" vibe.

I think a simpler "we've been betrayed by an insider with access to everything, here's how we're fixing it, and yes, we're pursuing legal methods for dealing with this" would have been better. Leave out the gory details about who's hurt and whatnot. This is business. Still, this is better than half of the other "we've been betrayed" posts I've seen.

The format of the ppoop article is sufficiently similar that I thought it might be a riff on the classic "The Evolution of a Haskell Programmer" http://www.willamette.edu/~fruehr/haskell/evolution.html (itself derived from a similar work).
I imagine the only real thing at play here is the number of connections the server software is configured to handle. This site has a small handful of small static assets: there's no server-side render, and I'd put money on everything being cached even if no such server-side optimizations have been made (done at the disk and/or OS level).

I'd bet the only limiting factor of '96 hardware would be the NIC, all else being equal. Webserver software was a lot less complicated back then, so its memory footprint was far smaller.

I'm surprised that even old computer magazines are simply not available online. I subscribed to QST as a boy, I wish I had those now!

I hear what you say about expensive books, I have several that I was surprised to find out were worth more than $100. Those I just put at the back of the scan queue to decide later, there are plenty more $2 books to go first.

My comic book collection has vanished. Arggh.

One of the reasons I prefer my books digital now is I can blow them up on a large monitor - makes 'em easier to read with my old eyes. If my eyes get as bad as my dad's, I plan on installing a projector and blowing them up on the wall.
I don't see how this is responsive to the article, which doesn't deal with campaign finance or robo calls at all. It's about content of email sent to a decidedly opt-in recipient list, which quite frankly only barely qualifies as spam by most people's definitions.

How exactly would "more aggressive" use of "campaign tactics" like "offer free stuff", and "ask the recipient to do something specific" make a part of you die? (!??)

I mean, I can pretty much tell you're not an Obama supporter. And I can guess that the last week probably hasn't been kind to your disposition. But that's simply not what the linked article is about. Try reading it again.
Was the marketing successful? Popular-vote wise, it seems like most Americans just flipped a coin and voted heads for Obama and tails for Romney. Hardly a success, if you ask me.
The fact that the Vanderbilt device uses the patient's muscles and only kicks in the motors when they become fatigued is great.

Still, a little irrational voice inside is screaming that for something costing over $80,000 this should have a mind machine interface and not something pulled out of a Segway (the Vanderbilt is controlled by leaning while on crutches) or a D-pad (the Ekso and ReWalk).
Hopefully prices would come down with scale.

Safesecureweb.com. Heh.

Although other than knowing it's running IIS (which is in the Server header of the responses anyway), it's not particularly useful. Unlike modern web apps, it's not displaying a stack trace or debug information that contains db connection strings and the like.

Also, this is fixed by changing one line in web.config AFAIK (it's been a good five years since I worked with IIS in any capacity)
Yes, It needs some default text there for sure, but it should auto detect your location and pre-populate that based on IP address. Are you outside of the USA by chance? Could also just be a limitation of the GeoIP database
Kristi from Braintree here. To be totally honest, although we've been beta testing for a few months, we're still new to the market, and there are still some unknowns.

We could've launched with a standard high rate to cover for those, but we decided that offering custom tailored pricing would be more favorable to individual businesses. All of that being said, we're fast learners and should have standard pricing for Australian merchants within a few months.
Opt outs and email filters. The great thing about current technology is that it continues to provide the consumer with filtering options. I can DVR shows and skip commercials. I can turn on AdBlock. I can forward all of my Obama mail directly into my delete box.

The survivors of my filtering options are the products that provide me with some value that make me not want to employ a filter against them. Reddit's personal appeals and thank you put them on my adblock exemption list. The excitement of live NBA games keeps me watching commercials rather than DVR. A feeling of inclusion, no matter how manufactured, lead me to not autotrash Obama mail.

Filters cause better products, and Obama's campaign rose to the challenge(at least for me). That is hardly draggin the process through the mud.
