Thanks for making me aware of the AttributeRouting project; I had not heard of it before.

From quickly reading about AttributeRouting, the biggest difference between it and JuniorRoute is that AttributeRouting apparently sits on top of the ASP.NET MVC framework and Web API--both of those technologies are flawed, in my opinion. JuniorRoute does not; instead, JuniorRoute hooks directly into the ASP.net pipeline and does not reference a single ASP.NET MVC binary.

When I set out building this, I was determined to provide a solution that implemented routing in an HTTP-centric way, not the controller-centric way that ASP.NET MVC does. I think I've managed to accomplish this but I'm only one man and my opinion is, of course, biased. :)

The AttributeRouting project has it right with regards to attributes, but the project's foundation--ASP.NET MVC--is still flawed.

Some developers scoff at the use of attributes because they view attributes as magic. In my experience, attributes are a great way to implement the convention-over-configuration paradigm, but purists may choose to rely on other mechanisms for generating routes. I was sure to design the framework such that both camps--the pragmatists and the purists--could be made happy.

JuniorRoute provides built-in conventions that use endpoint namespaces, class names and method names to generate routes (this is similar to FubuMVC). The great thing is, developers can very easily extend JuniorRoute and create their own convention implementations if the built-in ones are insufficient.

Another way JuniorRoute differs from AttributeRouting is much of JuniorRoute's source code implements the HTTP 1.1 specification directly. For example, JuniorRoute's CacheableResponseHandler class handles prevalidation headers (the If-* headers). Obviously, JuniorRoute is open-source so anyone can look at the class and determine how it does that or implement their own response handler that follows the specification in a different way. ASP.NET MVC tends to hide things like that. I wanted developers to be able to choose from a stock of built-in conventions providing implementations of the most common scenarios but still have the extensibility just in case JuniorRoute doesn't cover something they need.

There are very few classes in JuniorRoute that do not implement interfaces. I designed the framework to be nearly completely extensible while still keeping bootstrapping code and configuration to a minimum. One of my biggest goals is to keep the amount of time between bootstrapping and writing endpoint methods to a minimum. I will be releasing Visual Studio project templates to make initial bootstrapping even simpler; right now, there are a lot of manual steps because one must begin with the ASP.NET Empty Web Application template.

Yes and probably more often than you think but it can quite difficult to diagnose from a top down perspective. It usually materializes in costs becoming too great but the underlying cause frequently is a rushed product that eventually costs too much to iterate on because of sloppy underpinnings. Its a delicate balance - you've got to get stuff out quick enough but also stable enough to make sure the next iterations wont become exponentially longer and more costly.

Outsourcing, high turnover, constantly changing requirements with unreasonable schedules all can lead to codebases that become too expensive to iterate on when the market demands more. Sometimes the only way out is to approach a complete rewrite which is usually a risky proposition.

Many times poorly coded products from the outside can have correlated symptoms of poor performance, bugginess, and slow feature development which are the cited reasons users may abandon the product.
My takeaway (Cliff's Notes):

Customer: build from distribution backwards / know your customers / build small or incomplete first in order to test demand

Self: running a company is an emotional roller-coaster, be prepared mentally, schedule the important stuff, your team is extremely important

Company: build necessary metrics from day one, price test / analyze, iterate quickly, learn always
You are missing the point. The author claims to focus on the best product from a functionality standpoint, but he fails to convince us that the "best" wallet is actually any functionally better. His arguments for why it's better are based on imagined problems with cheaper products that don't actually exist.

The thing that excites me most (as a realist with a soft spot for anarchy) is the potential for crowdfunding to deliver public goods.

One example is a pitch I saw at DjangoCon, someone was running a kickstarter campaign for a detailed open-source tutorial for some software (if not a public good, open-source is definitely a commons). I just saw another on crowdtilt's [testimonials page](https://www.crowdtilt.com/campaigns). Apparently some enterprising Dallas residents have come up with a [direct, real-world response](http://i.imgur.com/1LI5U.png) to the ever-present whine, "but who will build the roads!".

There's preparing yourself for a career fair (which I would characterize as having a fairly specific "hit list" of companies to speak to and topics to talk to them about) and then there's wearing a suit (spending at least $100 on a rarely-worn garment on a college student's budget). One of these is a much more meaningful activity than the other. And given the culture of technology companies and the high demand for developers, you want to limit who's going to take you seriously.
One could look at the state-by-state markets in the weeks leading up and see if the probability predicted differed greatly from the main market. It would be far trickier to manipulate the markets state by state in such a way that their probable outcomes aligned with the probable outcome of the national markets.

I just looked at the InTrade state numbers from 11/2 (which I have on a spreadsheet) and running a few dozen simulations I was getting Obama winning about 80%. That's a pretty significant difference from where the national numbers were on 11/2 (I think about 66% maybe?)

Of course, if they differ it might just be because the Intrade market is imperfect, in which case it would represent a nice arbitrage strategy for the next election...
I agree with you and I disagree with you. Dustin Curtis seems to take it to a new level which I've not heard though in this writing though. Almost obsessive.

I would only do this for items you actually value and use. The tools that get you through life and you enjoy. Put to heavy usage.

Items I consider such are my computer for work, a few of my electronics for entertainment and relaxation (away from work), good books (I enjoy comics, such as Calvin and Hobbes, Peanuts, and Fox Trot), my work chair/desk and bed for proper comfort and rest, my bike, and certain pieces of clothing (my jeans and shirts). I picked out items that made me feel content and satisfied. Not necessarily the best. They are nice items, but far from the best.

The last thing I want is some brand, thing, material item cause me to be financially troubled in any such way.

I dont feel I am calling anyone out (except perhaps the website/author). I was trying to convey that this article is only getting traction /because/ of that. It is a deceptive invention that uses more power than it creates.
This is contrary to the article which would have you believe if you piss in a can you could have 6 hours of generator power.

Quite literally this device is nothing more than a fraud as it is currently written.

Article title is : "These four African girls have created a pee-powered generator"

1: It is not a generator

2: You are mistaken. Its the article author who calls out front and center they are in 3 different minorities (see the title above) - I am simply responding to that.

Amen to that. Sewage gas, on the contrary is used with great success to generate energy, both in the developing world and in the developed world. This urea-electrolysis thing, on the other hand, is plain weird, to generate hydrogen you must put energy in that you won't ever recover, thermodynamics tells you that, and hydrogen isn't something that's easily stored or transported.

When you read this paper closely you will recognize that the authors have discovered a way to remove bound nitrogen from effluent. It's possibly an advance over the well-established biological reduction of nitrate, considering that instead of putting energy in in the shape of methanol you can recover a part by burning the hydrogen the process generates - possibly in the sewage gas plant that you already have on site.

Who cares? Their points are valid. HN does seem, at times, ridiculously anti-Microsoft and Windows 8. As an informed user of Apple, Google (well, HTC) and Microsoft products I find myself disagreeing with the prevailing attitude much of the time, and I'm pleased to see a few people that don't immediately fall into the groupthink black hole.

Even if they are corporate shills, which I doubt, they'd probably be no more biased than many others on the site already.

Yeah, it's awesome. You can also try different electrode materials (connected to the battery with alligator clips) to make the water turn mysterious colors. Copper is the coolest in my opinion, if you salt the water it will go through multiple oxidation stages over time and change from green to yellow to black. (Oh, and if you use copper and let it react for a really long time, it will form copper tetrachloride and if you mix that with copper sulphate (blue crystals used to kill roots, get it at most any hardware store) you can come up with this crazy stuff that will eat up aluminum foil like some kind of nasty acid but does nothing to human skin.)
Hmm, I'm not sure how my point got turned into a claim that narrative will henceforth have less mass popularity than data. I'm talking about a shift among elites. Political media are going to be forced to adapt, in a direction I think most people here would consider a good one. If they don't, they will look ridiculous, which will weaken them even faster; appearing serious and important is their trump card, after all.

But tell me how you propose to measure "just as strong" and I might take your bet :)
You could reasonably conclude someone has 80% chance to win by using a large amount of slightly lopsided data, or you could reasonably conclude the same thing with a smaller amount of highly lopsided data.

As such there is a relationship involving the probability of the outcome, the quantity of the polling data, the quality of the polling data, and the margins of the polling data.

At the time I wasn't aware that Nate had published his predicted margins. So, seeing he had a high probability for Obama in Virginia, which turned out to be close, I concluded that one of three things was true:

1. Virginia was very heavily polled and there was just a ton of good and consistent data, justifying a prediction of 80%.
OR 2. Virginia had a normal amount of good and consistent data, but it was all very lopsided.
OR 3. There was an error with Nate's model or with the data.

Had I known that I could have easily accessed his predicted margins I could have easily seen that it was 1. But without knowing that, I was ruling out 2 because it turned out the state was very close.

My point was that it's not easy to just look at Nate's map and score it against the result map. That's a very shallow and fairly uninteresting way to look at it.

My secondary point was that even if you understand that he had predicted some percentage chance to win in each state, it's not even easy to look at that percentage chance and score it against the result map, because, given a prediction like "80% chance Obama wins", there are many different ways he could have arrived at his conclusion, and it would be more accurate to inspect the method by which he arrived at the conclusion compared to the margins in the state.

I've put up a text file comparing the two here: http://pastebin.com/0RB5GRjQ and it turns out the results were within Nate's given interval in 49 of 50 states. It's not the shallow and misleading "50/50" you get by just comparing the color of Nate's map with the results map -- but I think it's much more interesting, more accurate, and more impressive.

If a prediction market is famous enough to affect an election, it will generally cost more than $1 million to manipulate. I doubt that voter turnout would have increased if Intrade had predicted a Romney win -- too few Americans know what Intrade even is.

A Moderate Voter
The proponents of Prop 37 sought to use rhetoric and language to sway against science.

Not sure I understand this. Labeling is a fight about marketing, not science. I don't think this headline flatters scientists in anyway.The argument for labeling is that the products will be perhaps not purchased if the origin of the produce was revealed. That is actually how a market economy is supposed to work. It's un-economic for consumers to do the genetic testing themselves. This is the same logic on why we have nutrition labels, and country of origin labels, etc.

None of this has anything to do with the term 'science', in its common usage.
The iPhone is arguably the most sophisticated consumer device ever produced, and so it represents general manufacturing advancements quite well.

I didn't read it as such, but can understand how it could have come off that way. The author seemed to be speaking with enough generality that each example was just a pit stop along the much broader thread of the post.
"Am I the only that thinks "Wow people actually give a shit about this?". It seems comical how much people are willing tolerate this typographical circle jerk disguised as "designing"."

A lot of people care about the finer points of typography. If you really want to see some "circle jerking disguised as designing" take a look at a book by this nutjob named Donald Knuth:

But it indeed seems to be somebody who is claiming to be the author of the SO post (perhaps for karma?).

Disagree with Curtis, it's actually possible to automate this so it doesn't take him spending weeks reading up on flatware. Just use the knowledge of those who already have.

No, it wouldn't. The "purpose" of a prediction market is to let people buy and sell shares in a certain outcome, not to provide information.

That's just a nice side effect of a sufficiently liquid market.
> ... the life expectancy for a meth addict is only seven years from the moment they get hooked.

Due to sleep deprivation, because methamphetamine has a very long half-life in the human body. The government noticed that people were enjoying short-acting stimulants with only moderate harm, so it restricted everything but methamphetamine to increase the harm to punish sin. The meth "epidemic" is a planned social cleansing program. (The government is very much not doing this by accident. They know they won the Battle of Britain because our boys used Dexedrine and could get their eight (hours of sleep) after each mission. The Germans used methamphetamine to the extent they used anything, and we know how that turned out.)

This is a repeat of the mass murder and maiming campaign conducted during alcohol Prohibition. Then the government quietly added methanol to industrial ethanol. Methanol was chosen because it selectively damages certain nerves, leaving drinkers blind, gruesomely brain damaged, or dead if they were lucky. Thousands of Americans had their health destroyed and the central planners considered it a great success.

Or why not own fewer items that are of the same quality? I'm not sure what its like over in the states but here in Australia, more expensive cloths are just branded, and high enough quality cutlery can be had in cheap stores. I'm not sure why you have to have higher quality to get less things? Is it the way you sell it to yourself? So you don't feel cheap? Isn't it a waste of your time thinking so so much about this worthless rubbish?
aren't markets supposed to be efficient

To a certain extent. Largely because of people doing arbitrage. So, if all arbitrageurs called it quits because they thought markets are automatically efficient, well, they wouldn't be.
