They're both good. My open source repos are on Github. My private (thus client-related) repos are on BitBucket. I've been pretty happy with this configuration.

Perhaps it helps that I know a few other companies and developers locally using BitBucket for private repos.

Incidentally, reliability and price are both valid reasons to "use an also-ran copycat", in my personal opinion, if that also-ran copycat is pretty damn good.
Both of these things go on (landlords with 'psuedo' hotels) and short term contracts that try to skirt hotel rules. The hotels has been shooting rocks at landlords and AirBnb for just this very reason. (if you measure disruptiveness by the number of people in power you piss off AirBnb scores 11 out of 10 :-))

There was an AirBnb story posted here a while ago about a NY tenant and AirBnb provider that got a letter from his landlords lawyer to cease and desist because it was a violation of his lease and oh by the way it was competing with rooms the landlord had set up.

Statistical approach is more interesting imo as it could lead to some insights for data compression algorithm perhaps?
When I first got into programming it took me months to truly understand the purposes of methods/functions. I picked up on pointers quicker than I picked up on functions. This was a little over 15 years ago. I could write them out but I could not understand why they were needed. I can admit it now but it was embarrassing then. I know the problem now was because I was teaching myself and really had no exposure to the concept until that point. I was really bad at math in high school.

That is the same thing with learning an artistic endeavor. There are going to be even seemingly simple parts that some people struggle with. It takes time to break through that wall but it will be broken at some point. Sometimes you just have to advance past that lesson and come back to it. Maybe then the person will be able to understand why they were having problems.
It's not a binary choice between runaway Shanghai-style development and amber-like stasis. You can equally argue that if people don't have any input into the planning process then they won't invest that property market in the first place. If there aren't enough people willing to buy, then developers won't be willing to build. This is why developers create HOA corporations for apartment buildings and tract housing, and make membership a condition of sale: to assure buyers that the development will be maintained in similar style to the time the properties were offered to the market. They don't emerge naturally from some common democratic impulse of apartment-dwellers or suburbanites.

Also, home ownership is not an investment opportunity for most people, who are looking for a place to live long-term rather than to flip or extract cash value from (the departure from this historical approach has a lot to do with the recent financial crisis). Rather, most homeowners want to extract use value and simply maintain the asset price.
I disagree; you are not tied to Swing or any Java UI toolkit merely by using Clojure on the JVM. You can just as easily integrate with a GTK, Cocoa, and whatever Windows uses.

You'll notice how the current Emacs is weird on all three platforms by default (at least they switched the scrollbar position). C/Guile isn't a panacea for a UI frontend, they're entirely orthogonal.
I am not surprised at a musical aptitude, the correlation between engineer/programmers and music is quite strong.
Also the children.

I'm only half joking, there have been cases where children (teens) have been charged with child pornography for images of themselves. Forget about illegal data, this is what happens when you try to stop one action by criminalizing another. In this case, stopping the exploitation of children by criminazing child porn.
Our approach is different from other dynamic language JITs that I'm aware of. While there is lots of diversity out there, most other dynamic language JITs can be roughly categorized as either having a method-at-a-time strategy, or a tracing strategy. Our system is neither tracing jit nor method-at-a-time, but basic-block-at-a-time.

The systems that it has the most in common with are actually binary translators; e.g., VMware's software x86 hypervisor, or the Dynamo system. Those systems run basic block at a time to solve a number of problems; e.g., disambiguation of code and data. We're basic-block-at-a-time for a different reason: closure under type inference.
I can see what you mean to some extent. The top of the line server parts are still Sandy Bridge-E. By the time Ivy-Bridge-E is out Haswell will be available on the traditional PC side.

I would actually make a different argument though. As time goes on the absolute cost of the CPU is not that important. For big data centers lowering costs is about efficiency more than cheaper hardware. So in my mind a lot of what Intel is trying to do on the Mobile side, both laptop and smartphone/tablet, will help them in the data center. If Intel can drive down both peak and idle power consumption while maintaining or even improving both single threaded and multi threaded performance, there's potential to really lower the power needed to run a data center and in turn create a lot of value.

The real question is what's the next big thing going to be? Eventually the current CPU model will give out to something else. Maybe that's something like Psi or Tesla or maybe something completely different.
This was exactly my experience.

It seemed to take a few months for my body to transition off caffeine. I recommend switching to tea for the first couple of weeks, since that'll at least prevent the terrible headaches.

I definitely feel healthier for quitting the habit, though I still miss "real" coffee sometimes. :(
Or for Pete's sake...

What I tell patients is, if you like coffee, go ahead and drink as much as you want and can," says Dr. Peter Martin, director of the Institute for Coffee Studies at Vanderbilt University. He's even developed a metric for monitoring your dosage: If you are having trouble sleeping, cut back on your last cup of the day. From there, he says, "If you drink that much, it's not going to do you any harm, and it might actually help you. A lot.

What else can you expect from an "institute" with a name like this?

And, surely enough, a little more digging brings this:

Nashville's Vanderbilt University is to establish an Institute for Coffee Studies this fall, funded by $6 million from the Brazilian Coffee Association and other coffee-growing organizations.

Laughs and just closes browser. I've had enough guys.
This is rarely (if ever) mentioned in all these articles claiming that coffee is so beneficial. I drink a fair amount of coffee and try to cut back frequently because of this issue. It isn't just that coffee makes me crap more, it degrades the...qualify of the crap. Am I alone here? Seems like it can't be good for me.

Can you expound on why you feel this way? Personally, I prefer the strength of intrinsic rewards. Gamification seems to devalue my effort. But I'm not denying that it works for people. It might not be a perfect solution, but an 80% solution is better than not preparing for an interview or not being active (FitBit). Why dismiss this outright?
The easiest way to figure out one's international expansion strategy is to look at GDP or GDP per capita over the accessible market for your product. Many startups in the attempt to hoodwink growth find that it's AMAZING to get growth in developing countries. They fail to recognize that their predecessors or competitors are not catering to those groups because it just doesn't make economic sense.

I, for one, am a bigger believer in the small dedicated cohort of people strategy, e.g. Facebook, etc.

I can't put in to words how much better I feel, and sleep, since switching to decaffeinated[1] coffee.

1. You still get some caffeine; decaf is about 5% of the caffeine of normal coffee.

> How do you quantify "for free"? If we mean "at no cost to the taker," then it's equal to theft, which is obviously not much of a position to take. I'm guessing this isn't what you mean.

This usage of the word "theft" only makes sense when dealing with private goods, as I explained in my original post. We're dealing with a good (information) that is entirely nonrival and fairly non-excludable, putting it somewhere on the spectrum between a common good and a public good.

> Excluding that cost from our analysis of the situation leads to a distorted view of economics and reality.

Applying the economics of private goods to goods that are neither rival nor excludable leads to a distorted view of reality as well.
I really hope RIM makes it - their keyboards are beyond compare.

It seems like they've been putting a decent amount of effort into the ecosystem - with incentives for developers and all that. The one thing I haven't seen much about, which is a deal-breaker for me, is apps from Google. I really hope they're putting in enough effort to make sure there's good native Gmail and Maps apps (and Authenticator, though I realize very few people use that).
According to Dave Asprey (self-described biohacker), you should drink good coffee but never drink decaf: http://www.bulletproofexec.com/coffee-5-reasons-you-can-perf...

If you are adventurous, you should try his "bulletproof coffee" (high quality coffee with butter, but there's more to it - you can find details on his website). Butter is also good for you. Really.
Hey Scott - don't worry, it didn't come across as too negative and I appreciate your feedback. :-)

There is definitely a lot missing as my main goal was just to help people realize that it's not an either / or thing when it comes to sales vs. inbound marketing. Granted, this is business 101 but in the startup community, because of the speed at which companies move, you have first time entrepreneurs without that business 101 experience trying to move the needle in a meaningful way in a very short time. It's because of this that answering these sorts of fundamental questions is ideally done sooner than later.

I dunno about you, but in my experience, queries eventually need to be generated dynamically, which means having queries that can be externally represented by data structures.

Having a data structure that represents a query in the first place is a pretty good idea.

Even better is being able to go back and forth between strings and data structures.

No worries, "consumer protection" laws and "protection racket" are quasi-idomatic expressions. [1] e.g. even here in your example of the fire: its true that not-breaking the law "protects you" from being prosecuted. But the law itself (ie=must show fire escape) is called a "consumer protection" law (ie, by idiom). Its not on the books to keep the hotelier out of jail...it's on the books to keep the consumer from dying in a fire because s/he gets lost =D/.

That is refreshingly honest, Phil Libin sounds like someone I could get along with. Too often people at that level of the company focus on the exit (theirs, the companies, etc) and lose site of the product. Great companies don't do that, they focus on the product even if it means they don't get to cash out this year.
I've actually found that one cup of a specific type of coffee, namely instant coffee, drank immediately after breakfast, nearly always guarantees a bowel movement.

I've actually found it to be extremely useful part of my daily routine and when I need to break the routine for whatever reason (I live nomadically so my routines are always changing), my whole day is usually a lot more uncomfortable (i.e., my digestive system and bowls feel slower).

I still haven't identified how all this works, but it's an interesting anecdote.
Yeah, this is just stupid. I have a friend at Amazon who said I'd have no trouble getting through their interview process, but these Google interviews are absurd to me. Why try so hard to get a job at a company that everyone is applying to when you can instead much more easily get a position at a lower profile company, like Amazon or Microsoft, that will still give you challenging and rewarding work?

Do I respect and like Google's creations more than Amazon's or Microsoft's? Sure, but that's far from the only factor when choosing a job, even though people act like it is.

I'll never bother applying to Google. It's a simple matter of leveraging the principles of supply and demand in your favor.
I've actually found Evernote to be pretty helpful in turning my random internet readings into more long term knowledge. I read a lot of random articles about tcpdump or economics and read them but don't apply anything immediately. In my head that knowledge goes into a place where I sort of remember things but not the details. With clipping plus the google search integration, it's nice to search for a vague idea and see the actual article and my notes about it. Helps a lot with completing ideas and turning things into long term knowledge.

Yep, I've read all about clinical definitions of caffeine intoxication, and its relative rarity isolated from any other factors.

I guess I was a little sloppy in labeling what I'm talking about a "caffeine overdose", although I think what I described happening to me (heart palpatations, dizziness) probably happens much more often than physicians are aware of, and could be classified as a minor caffeine overdose. Most people logically conclude they've had too much coffee and too little sleep, and just drink some water and go to bed like I did. They don't go to the hospital over it.

What I'm really saying is that people who consume massive amounts of coffee are usually trying to compensate for exhaustion or sleep deprivation. In fact, there's sort of a feedback loop, where massive amounts of caffeine make restful sleep much more difficult, which then leads to more caffeine consumption and possibly to a downward spiral in health. Studies have shown that a perfectly healthy person lacking in sleep is in sort of a pre-diabetic state already, so when you pile on massive amounts of stimulants at the same time, it's clearly bad for the heart. It won't lead to you being declared DOA of a caffeine overdose, but it could exacerbate heart disease, or help its onset, or even cause a heart attack.

Don't get me wrong, as I mentioned I'm a huge caffeine addict. I drink Coke Zero by the gallon. However, the picture the author is painting that massive ingestion of caffeine is consequence free is simply not accurate, and in fact dangerous.

Yes--this is already happening. Entire apt blocks (say 6 -12 units) set up to short-term-lease. The next-door property owners hate this (ie, short term = vargrants, if you are a snob) that is why they lobby for 30 day min-stay laws on sublets.

I once did an experiment and went completely caffeine free.

First three days I was sleepy, then I recovered to exactly the same productivity level.

Then I decided to make me more productive and drunk a 0.25 Adrenaline Rush. My symptoms were nothing less than caffeine overdose.

I wanted to work but was unable to do anything because of total lack of focus. So I wanted to sleep and unable to sleep because fo hyperalertness. Then I wanted to work because I cannot sleep, etc. The cycle lasted for six hours at least and it was very unpleasant. I was even unable to read!

Right now I take a long walk after work if I want to be really productive next day.

This reminds me of the carousel scene from Mad Men.
"Cloud" seems to have become synonymous with "having someone else ____ for you," where the blank is filled in with some verb like store/possess/drive/etc. Words have the tendency to become loaded with additional meaning over time but this one is stuffed full. Cloud starts to sound like service. Admittedly though, I doubt we'll hear things like "the trash service came and sent my garbage to the cloud" and your examples do work.

Right. Technically we could write a "language" by just writing a string parser that converts strings to protocol buffers (some day we might do that). But embedding into host languages is so nice, there was no need to do it so far.
Microsoft is between a rock and a hard place. Sell competitively priced to boost the Win8 RT platform and Win8 tablet ecosystem generally and it kills the OEM market. Keep the price high and profitable and have a walking wounded platform being propped up by the desktop Win8 ecosystem but with touch/tablet functionality as an afterthought in many apps unless a vibrant competitively priced OEM environment arrives quickly.

That was a rather selective quote, given that the same article says this just a paragraph down:

Institute director, Peter Martin, stresses that his research group wants to maintain "arms length" from the coffee industry for ethical reasons. "We are setting up a foundation to oversee the funds which will be administered by independent scientific directors to ensure that there isn't even an appearance of conflict of interest," he insists.

In addition, the original article described a wide variety of studies done by many different institutions. I suppose it's possible that they're all just "studies" conducted by people in the pay of the nefarious coffee lobby, but we probably shouldn't start resorting to conspiracy theories without a little evidence.
