but it makes sense. The innovation a company does is related to the average capability of the company (as it must, since its people who are innovating, and last i checked, innovation isn't some standard process like flipping burgers that can be replicated with anyone).

As the size of a company grows the average capability must tend towards the average of the population. I must say that can't be very high, and so you see the results here. Some companies have strict hiring standards, but i think eventually, pressure to hire more people end up costing them the quality.

Not sure if there is a solution, other than to keep the working unit tiny and independent.
Just a note, In the iterative solution, by changing the i (loop variable) from an int to an long int the times by both iterative and recursive are almost equal. Here are the new results

[Recursive - 7921 ms], [Iteratiive - 8078 ms]

So the difference is negligible.

Yes, just like that but using Jquery.
AFAIK it has to be extended every 14 days by a judge.

But yes, I agree with you on that, it can easily be abused and Sweden has been criticized for that in the past. That said, he has fled the country before and he could tamper with evidence if he had access to a computer (probably) so in that sense it makes sense to keep him confined - and he still has to serve his 1 year sentence from the TPB trial. The time he has spent now will be deducted from his TPB sentence so he will probably only have to serve very little additional time for that.

That said: It does not justify prolonged solitary confinement. He did get some access to others so it wasn't true solitary confinement but probably almost as taxing.
I am also curious about the how fast the AWS service will be. Zencoder is pretty fast. http://blog.zencoder.com/2011/10/18/zencoder-benchmarked-2x-...
I met Gottfried in 2009 and have been writing to him in prison. He is an intelligent person and there is no evidence that he has harmed anyone. Extraditing him from a country on the other side of the world, seemingly without any official paperwork or due legal process, and locking him in an extended period of solitary confinement should put the chills through all of us. Is this what 'democracy' has come to in mainland Europe, of all places?

Sweden should be hung out to trial by the EU, Cambodia by the UN.

Remember the words:

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out--Because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out--Because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out--Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

Our human rights are being denied by our own governments, who see no limit to their political power in breaking legal process and crossing global borders.

We have seen what they have done to Assange, what they have done to Kim Dotcom, what they have done to Gottfried. All within a single year. All within our community. All flouting international law. Not to mention Aaron.

As states merge with the internet and the future of our civilization becomes the future of the internet, we must redefine force relations. If we do not, the universality of the internet will merge global humanity into one giant grid of mass surveillance and mass control. We must raise an alarm.

I've had a couple of jobs at places in Europe / the UK who basically had a tiny sales office in the US. One of them was a small business of only around 15 employees total, and they still had a sales guy in LA or NYC.

I guess it would be the same with support. The only job I've worked in a tech support role in, only had enterprise customers in Europe.

Mayer's approach seems to be an inside-out approach rather than playing to Wall Street.

This is the honeymoon period though, let's wait and see. Yahoo is easily pressured by a few hedge funds, so Mayer will have to deliver result$ soon enough I fear.

If you think Google doesn't play to Wall Street, just count the number of ads on the pages (or the number on non-ads, it's just easier) and major search "updates"

Ask HN: Why are relationships so hard to work out?
One of the oldest activity that humans have indulged in, is to spend quality time with other human beings.

Is there any easier way to make lasting relationships work out?

We use KeePass as a multi-user solution: the kdb file is on a network share (with relevant ACLs). The only thing you have to take into account is that you dont have to leave it opened on your computer, so the typical use is: Open / Read (or Write) Password / Close it.

It works in small groups (we're three guys using it, two more frequently)
Some of the big ticket tracking solutions are even worse. For example in the past I have used stuff from "Peregrine systems" (now owned by HP) that was so bad that actual ticket tracking was done via shared .xls files and we dedicated a team member each day to putting the data into Peregrine.

That VCS system sounds a lot like just plain CVS (though perhaps under a different name), I remember checkouts under CVS taking an age.

Interesting. Could something like this be used to live stream video?

Edit: at those rates, streaming to 1000 people for an hour would cost you 1800 dollars. I can't see that being worthwhile....
Suppose that you cost $50,000 a year. If a new Sublime Text would only make you 2% more productive, even an upgrade for $100 per year would be peanuts. Start talking to your boss!

If you use Sublime Text privately, I can see your point.

I have no idea if this is related, but I remember reading something a while back about how hard this type of data is to interpret.

A poignant example was given, describing how an entire city might switch countries, for example from Ukraine to Russia (and maybe back again?), and how that is a difficult situation to deal with.

Do the entire occupants of that city count as emigrants? What if they then decide to move back across the border? What happens if the city moves back a year later?

In any case, I don't know if there are issue like that here, but I would not be surprised if there were.

I spoke with the leadership there about it but it seems the idea was abruptly dismissed during a leadership change a while back.
I had to look up "homeroom"..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeroom

Funnily enough, the Wikipedia article states "The concept is used in schools around the world", and then continues "Homeroom is a concept that does not exist in Argentinian schools" (nor in Uruguayan schools, which is where I come from).

Exactly. It will be interesting to see if this approach actually has any effect. There aren't many sticks that work on the US.
Interesting. Are there any consumer facing apps using these services (aws transcode competitors/zencoder)?

Could this be used to stream live video?
Not really. Amazon just builds what they need instead of depending on others and then sell it as a service to the larger market. Remember, they're playing for the long-run. Maybe they needed it to convert their videos on LoveFilm.com or maybe another future service connected with their Cloud Drive.

What is also means is that if your company provides a service to other developers you might well be in competition with Amazon in the future.

EDIT: Maybe I should mention that I work at PandaStream, another video transcoding service. We're still cheaper with 100% utilisation but our pricing model and target market isn't exactly the same.
Social also used to mean phoning people up, or before that writing letters (there have been plenty of famous historical friendships that were done an the speed of post).
It's interesting. It looks like people in the Russian Federation can't make up their minds about Ukraine and Kazakhstan. Lots of movement, near zero net.

Looking at the fact that you can do encoding across a lot of different regions seems to me to indicate that there isn't any special capabilities required for Amazon to implement this other than just a custom AMI.

If I had to guess, this is all part of a strategy to figure out ways to utilize their idle fleet. Spot instances are often used for these sorts of batch offline compute-intensive jobs, but if you're a third party you are hostage to the market dynamics (changing prices of spot instances). Since Amazon owns the market, they can just take capacity out of the fleet of available as spot instances instantaneously for free and be immune to pricing changes in the spot-instance market - something no competitor could ever do.

So if you were to ask - what is a common batch-style workload that requires a lot of computing power that a lot of people need who would otherwise not be using our spot instances and that can consume our idle capacity? I can't think of a better market than video encoding.

This is certainly scary for companies like Zencoder, and feels somewhat anticompetitive (IANAL so speaking practically rather than legally), but it makes otherwise good sense as a business strategy.

You are not selling to "a" person. You are selling to a group of people, with a variety of biases and self-interest, not all of whom you will necessarily even meet. That's what makes sales complex.
We've been using PassPack for around a year now and it's been great. The only gotcha is that if I store a password and share it with you, you can't then share it with someone else.
We use plain GPG-encrypted files stored in our version control system (git/svn). The files get encrypted with all the public keys of the users who have access to these files, and can be decrypted with their private keys then. Not perfect, but works.
Binder in the safe.
Zencoder recently came out with live transcoding. Its only a transcoding service, but I guess using brightcove you can stream live videos. AWS has only announced file base transcoding.
LastPass Enterprise is working well enough for our organisation. The only thing I dislike about it is that I have a personal LastPass account and can’t keep them both logged in at the same time through the browser plugin.

"Project Eternity" Gas Powered Games' next-gen cloud Modding Tool & Web platform
Chris Taylor of Gas Powered Games (Total Annihilation, Supreme Commander, Dungeon Siege) introduces their upcoming Web platform & cloud based Mod Tool - "Project Eternity" (http://youtu.be/kuGdQqUhKD4)

They're currently running a kickstarter for a game (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gaspoweredgames/wildman-an-evolutionary-action-rpg) that integrates this tool.
Back when I was 14 I played quite a lot of Phantasy Star Online on the Xbox (which had a very small community). My voice broke a year or two beforehand, and I was pretty respectful and eloquent. I had people constantly looking to me for advice and help, under the assumption I was significantly older (I have a pretty low voice). It was quite nice being treated as an adult years before people would treat me the same in person.
Agreed. Some load indicator, or "..." (in gray) will be more natural in this environment. "Waiting" can be perceived as "waiting for you to register" / suspended etc :)
Yes.

In my experience, small to medium sized business, experiencing growth, are a great place to start.

Typically they have started out using some sort of closed source industry standard product (Access, Hosted Webshops, eg.) and are now starting to bang their heads against the wall.

Usually the business owner is affected personally by these headaches, so is much more proactive on getting them solved. Also you can get into a nice research/development/feedback/training loop, directly with the handfull of users, who will be using your work.
I don't like the fact that underscore and camelCase notations must be mixed, e.g. in the clock demo:

def set_clock():
ctx.beginPath()
ctx.fillStyle = "#FFF"
ctx.arc(width/2,height/2,ray*0.89,0,2*math.pi)
ctx.fill()
show_hours()

This is not the case with some other languages that compile to JavaScript, e.g. LiveScript allows dash-case almost everywhere.
This isn't exactly related, but it's very easy to justify keeping a tube TV around if you're an avid gamer, especially with older games. Even LCD and plasma TVs made for gaming and low response times still have some amount of lag, just due to their nature, and they also display older systems very poorly.

Uruguay has a decent standard of living, so most of us don't want to move out, unless forced to by economic conditions.

It is extremely stressful to move to a foreign country where you won't speak the language correctly, you don't family and friends and the social and psychological safety net you're used to, and you don't know the local customs, AND you'll be a second-class person even if you do somehow manage to get legal papers (which are a huge source of stress in and of themselves).

That's why most people that do are either young people (more adaptable) or families under economic hardship.

In my case, my girlfriend won't consider moving to the U.S., and I won't consider moving without legal papers, which means a H1B visa for me, or moving to Canada and starting the long citizenship process.

That's why many smart people will accept lower wages in order to stay with their families and friends and environment.

I know firsthand what it means to emigrate, one of my brothers is living in the United Arab Emirates and tries to convince me to emigrate very often (I'd instantly double or triple my salary, plus the UAE are much cheaper than Uruguay), and I have family in Austria and Canada. All three countries are great (I like Austria the most, but I don't speak much German), but all of them represent all the challenges outlined above.

You've one copy of the file, encrypted with N public keys. Each of the corresponding private keys can decrypt the files.

Assuming you've all the public keys in your keychain, then for each key you pass "-r <email>" for the encryption, like "gpg -e -r foo@bar.com -r baz@bar.com plain.txt", and for decryption you do something like "gpg --output plain.txt -d plain.txt.gpg".
I'd probably be willing to pay at least $200, especially if it's spread out over some milestones. For example, I'd rather pay more after I see that people are actually actively working on it after it becomes open source. In fact, spread out over reasonable milestones I can imagine spending far more.

Of course, I'm probably an outlier here.

I think your assumption of 1.1 million installs belonging to 10% users is way off. Many people probably never purchase ST, but still install the Package Manager, especially since ST remains basically usable without paying. I'd think it's closer to 1%.

Of course, that still leaves us with quite a lot of money. To be honest, I hadn't looked at the figure of how many installs the package manager had - I'm pretty surprised (and happy) that ST is this popular. Guess I'll have to keep dreaming.
Sure. For example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPlpphT7n9s 00:04:36, states that film is spelled philome in Shakespeare's work.

Unfortunately a google search of "philome" yields only pages about shakespeare pronounciation, especially by these two guys; I don't know what that means.

However, I think that thinking about the evolution of a language as a linear
progression is misleading.

Is certainly possible that modern Irish pronunciation stems from what was spoken at that time, and the modern "mainstream" english pronunciation evolved later from a slighly different root, and epenthesis acted only in one of the two branches.

Film derives from west germanic filminjan, which in turn comes from proto germanic fello(m), and proto indoeuropean pel-, with cognates in lating and greek, pella and pellis respectivly.

So it's possible that epenthesis was applied on top of filminjan in irish scottish accents (possibly due to pressure of the gaelic substrate), while the dialect which originated RP didn't have this change.

I'm sure somebody with better knowledge of the matter can be more precise about that, however, it's strange how little (and often more misleading than uncertain) information is there about one the most widely spoken languages.

(Sorry, if I had more time, I would have written a shorter comment :-) )

This is actually that distracted me away from ST2.

It's 2013 and we generally still use text editors to work with code. The result is that code is typically tied to plaintext buffer by hacks and kludges in a quite awkward way. Highlighting is done by one subsystem, code analysis (if any's possible) is performed by completely another one (so highlighter output may accidentally contradict code analyzer), folding is totally separate from all those, and so on.

JetBrains has another approach to this, as most clearly seen with MPS.
Exactly, there is no market for real privacy and openness, and it certainly is not in Google's or Apple's interests.

That's why I count on free software to close the gap. Free as in: free of corporate interests, no need to make money, no need to provide access to intelligence agencies. I pay for the hardware, and I pay to transmit data. But the data stays mine.
Seems quite expensive to me. Wouldn't it be cheaper to roll your own on a (few) EC2 instances?
If you're suggesting that this won't work because the numbers don't make sense, then I think a better way to go about it is to do exactly what forrestthewoods did in another comment - talk about actual numbers.

Much more convincing than making analogies which most people can dismiss pretty easily.

Only h264/AAC/mp4 output though. I wonder how well they handle embedded subtitle streams, too (I don't even know if they're supported at all for mp4). Seems OK for the most basic of web video streaming, but then again, I guess that's the majority of the use cases they're targeting. (more concretely, this doesn't look to be suitable for digitizing dvd collections).
