Awesome. Thanks so much for releasing the source; this looks like an extremely significant contribution. Kudos!

--args is an option to the OS X open command, you shouldn't need it on windows. My guess is:

Hey everyone, I'm a Hooktheory developer. Site is back up. We are also setting up mirrors. Will post them shortly.
Doesn't work for me either. I wanted to do this with midi files (after transposing them to a common key). And apply some dimension reduction on top (LSA). Never got around to do it.
Will do. P.S. Looks really nice. Good job.
This is awesome! We were just talking about building a desktop IFTTT. Can't wait to play with this tonight and learn to make agents.
Got a link to share with us?

I like that the subheadline on their front page for the story is "The Rumors Are True", implying people were talking about Digg.
Infosec Reactions
Currently there's no mechanism for their sorting, but we'll add it for next versions, good idea.
Certainly interesting. It looks like a 1 year medium is a good bet if you're unsure how long you'll need the instance but it's probably more than 6 months.
I'm guessing that reputable dealers don't even give 'good deals' (i.e. discounts), but rather provide VIP clients access to their secret stash of exotica.
I'm sure there's an audience for which that's true, but it would seem like that's an edge case of people who prefer to overpay for nostalgia purposes if they could get the same product cheaper and more conveniently. Wine is often a luxury good though, so I'm probably underestimating the people who are willing to be snooty about it :)
It isn't about writing Lisp parsers so much as about writing a parser for your particular language that solves your particular problem. Instead of writing a python program that plays minesweeper, you write a minesweeper language where minefield, detonate, mine, digit, grid are keywords in some sense, where minesweeping can be explained in terms of your minesweeper language itself, not in terms of python & variables & functions & all that.

I will let the master explain -

http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/paulgraham/onlisp.pdf

Read Section 1.2 - "Change the language to suit the problem. In Lisp, you don’t just write your program down toward the language, you also build the language up toward your program. Language and program evolve together. Like the border between two warring states, the boundary between language and program is drawn and redrawn, until eventually it comes to rest along the mountains and rivers, the natural frontiers of your problem. In the end your program will look as if the language had been designed for it. And when language and program ﬁt one another well, you end up with code which is clear, small, and efﬁcient.

The greatest danger of Lisp is that it may spoil you. Once you’ve used Lisp for a while, you may become so sensitive to the ﬁt between language and application that you won’t be able to go back to another language without always feeling that it doesn’t give you quite the ﬂexibility you need.".
Not you though, sounds like!

It's also in contrast with some of their own previous behavior. When they saw opportunities to make things faster/better, they were comfortable breaking standards (or, well, making new tech that might stand as a standard one day and asking people to let go of older standards). One example: SPDY. Another: go. Additionally, there's a whole bunch of examples from chrome where they broke conventions for user experience and drew people's ire, but in all cases they defended these decisions with well thought out (if controversial) arguments.

Where's the argument against CalDAV? (I'm not saying it doesn't exist, I'm just surprised to not have seen anything from them)
"Yes" is sufficient. Remember that this purpose is to formalize a usually in-person handshake deal. Even out of that context, claiming "oh I signed the wrong paper" won't fly.

Sometimes I have to work even when I'm not motivated, because if I don't, I don't eat and can't pay the rent. So I guess in a weird way that's my motivation. It ain't pretty though.

I'm aware of Eric S Raymond's attempt to change the definition. It's still not correct. Nobody uses it that way other than misinformed pedants. This includes the general public, the media, security professionals, and the people who maliciously break into other sites. Just accept that "hacker" means both and move on.
Short answer:stock. The simplest form of resale provides value to the guys on the big end by relieving them of the pain of dealing with many small transactions and to the small guys by keeping stock(#) and letting them buy smaller quantities of stuff.

(#) Which is obviously a risk - who knows if you find buyers for all of the 100 thingumajigs you had bought wholesale. And taking this risk is a part of the value provided by the reseller.

Reselling E-Books and the One-Penny Problem
"They’re all instances of refusing to make things worse for your users in order to make more money." <-- factual statement

However, 'evil' is not defined in context: https://www.google.com/about/company/philosophy/

Therefore, the leap "evil = make things worse for your users" is not from a google source. That's Aaron's attempt to construct a categorical rule from the examples.

"Google unambiguously break their own definition of 'evil'." <-- False, since google didn't explicitly define evil. They broke what Aaron believed google meant when they said "evil".
I was not saying "distribute is not enough like setuptools", but rather meant I'm glad the author of distribute is taking over setuptools, with the maintainer of setuptools 'retiring'.
Sure, yeah.
A Real Simple Solution to the Death of Google Reader
Maybe. Or perhaps people just give up and the corps get their way and all content is rented; and can only be accessed by devices with DNA biometrics.

There will be niche boutique artists creating dead tree books of obscure short stories and bad poetry, for phenomenal pricing.
Out of curiosity, if drop shipping enabled you to quit your job in finance a few years back (http://ecommerce.shopify.com/guides/dropshipping/about-the-a... ) , why are you now 'giving away your secret sauce' by running a website dedicated to teach people how to setup "copycat" businesses?

Is it that the drop shipping business has gotten so competitive that there is more money in teaching people about it than the business itself, or were there other reasons?
Please let me know if you have questions. I'm planning to make a screencast tutorial on how to make and link Agents.
Javascript needs to be turned on to view hotstudio.com . Also their HTML does not validate. Why are they acquiring a firm that does not care about valid HTML?
I just wrote something similar on an another site:

"For now, Google Reader was the standard.
Now that it isn't it anymore, I hope that it will get developed a nice API to sync feeds between decides, and that the major reader will implement it.
This way every application would be able to sync with every backend, without any problem. And if a backend close, you could easily switch to a different one by changing one line in the configuration."

I seriously hope that this will be true. What has got me stuck on Google Reader for now (beside the "it just works" interface) is that every major application synced with it. I don't really want this to happen again, only with a different company.
At the moment, it's the curl default I believe.
Number 1 reason for restaurant failure in the first year.. undercapitalization. Initial capital investment in a food truck is higher than renting a location which already has a kitchen. You are basically setting yourself up for failure.

Plus lets get down to the real money.. Profit margins in restaurants suck for the food items (unless you are high end); You make all your money on drinks + booze + deserts. But with food trucks a large percent of the people aren't purchasing drinks, booze, or deserts; as they are getting the items to go.
Google must believe that the barrier to entry is now (only) brand awareness, rather than product (search) quality. Let's see whether that remains true forever.
Being a big fan of discovering music I love the approach!
Would love to check this out if it isn't hammered right now. :)
Your professor probably also mentioned that there must be intent to make a binding agreement. If these agreements are regularly made in this situation merely as an offer to negotiate an actual contract at a later time, then the parties do not intend to be bound and they are not contracts. I believe that to be the case.

From Anderson's Business Law:

> Because a contract is based on the consent of the parties and is a legally binding agreement, it follows that the parties must have an intent to enter into an agreement that is binding. Sometimes the parties are in agreement, but their agreement does not produce a contract. Sometimes there is merely a preliminary agreement, but the parties never actually make a contract, or there is merely an agreement as to future plans or intentions without any contractual obligation to carry out those plans or intentions.

> In some cases, the fact that important terms are missing indicates that the parties are merely negotiating and that a contract has not been made. When a letter leaves many significant details to be worked out later, the letter or printed matter is merely an invitation to negotiate. It is not an offer that may be accepted and a contract thereby formed.
The author himself shows a little more humility: "You’re exactly right. This is a risk, an experiment. " -rob [1].

I find it incredible that you will not concede any significant difference between D3 and D2 or between K1 and K2 groups. When the facts show the opposite. [2] Have you actually read the book on K2 and the evidence that it reduces arterial calcification?

You act like it's perfectly reasonable to dismiss studies and because of your preconceived notion that this diet is a perfect and "very complete" and "100% completely and totally covering all vitamins" (your words) and therefore any counterclaims means <insert strawman attack>.

I like this Rob fellow. I'm a huge supporter of ground up approaches, but this is simply not a black and white issue, and no amount of bullying from your quarter is going to change that.

How does the DMCA handle cases like this?

Are you allowed to rip the protection to keep access to something you've "bought"? Or is that circumvention and thus a criminal offence?
For me the dream team was GReader combined with the PostRank (Chrome Extension) to filter based on social metrics. Unfortunately PostRank was the second most important product that Google is its wisdom (and evilness) decided to shut down. For an idea of the power see: https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?key=tWri7T3f4.... Each row of the GReader would be lighter or darker based on the PostRank or you could simply filter based on minimum PR rating.

The one and only enhancement beyond this would be to integrate an Instapaper-type functionality so I have all my content in one place, whether fed by RSS, or random pages that I tag to read later as I come across them.

Digg is one of the few companies that I could see pull off the social dimension successfully.
I think I would talk to them about what the work is like behind the scenes. Coding is a lot like coming up with a recipe. You have to think really hard about what goes into a cake and when, or else when someone tries to follow the recipe the cake will burn or will taste wrong.

But computers can't think, so you have to be really specific. If you need flour for your recipe, you have to tell it where to get the flour, how to open it up, and how to measure it. You need to tell it how to mix everything together and bake it so you can eat it in the end. But the best part is, even though coming up with a recipe for vanilla cake is really hard the first time, once you have that, it's easy to come up with chocolate cake, or a really big cake for a birthday party or cupcakes you can put in your lunchbox. So you have to learn a lot about cakes upfront, but then you can make all kinds of different cakes- cakes that say 'Happy Birthday' or 'Thank You' are pretty similar to make once you know about cakes in general.

This is the fundamental problem of the business of making and distributing art, whether it's TV, movies, music, or games. It's not a commodity, it's not, generally speaking, fungible so it takes a much more principled stand to force change. If you don't like, say, the way a certain bank or grocery store or gas company or what-have-you does business you can just switch to a competing product. Even if that requires compromises generally there will be alternatives which are suitable substitutes. But that's not the case with artistic works. There is only one The Beatles, only one Veronica Mars, only one Citizen Cane, and there's only one SimCity series. You can decide to avoid playing the new version, and you can decide to play some other game, but these are all wholly inadequate substitutes.

And this is how game makers and publishers have managed to get away not only with astoundingly bad DRM but also in releasing quite broken and incomplete games in some cases. It's because gamers continue to let them get away with it.
There is a continuum of evil - on one end, you have ruthless bloodthirsty organizations who don't balk at breaking all the rules to make a dollar or point, on the other end you have "mostly self-consistent" organizations like FSF and EFF.

Microsoft isn't pure evil, they're were just seen as being closer to the bloodthirsty end than Apple or Google. It used to be that Google was seen as closer to the FSF side than, say, Microsoft.

Nowadays, it's pretty clear all of these big tech firms are not far apart and moving more towards the ruthless side of the spectrum.
Your guide looks really good, but you're definitely correct in your 1st paragraph: when I hear "guide to drop shipping" I immediately think back to the days of "MAKE THOUSANDS FROM HOME SELLING PRODUCTS ON EBAY" ... it has a bit of a snake-oil perception to me and I'm glad you addressed that right away.

My wife started an Instagram printing business (http://cheergram.com) a few months ago and it's going very well. All products are dropp-shipped from our partner lab so I know it can work.

I haven't finished the guide yet, but so far it looks really good.
I saw that the RESTful endpoints also existed, I was just curious about the additional ones. Knowing that I can easily choose to disable them is great to know — maybe mention it in the docs? I think that exposing these routes for testing is a great idea, but depending on them in production would be rather terrible and dangerous.
Yeah, Traci is a travel nurse. She's also done "registry" nursing, which is like local agency nursing on a shorter term basis. When she was a registry nurse, she would work at different hospitals, once or twice a week.
True, but at least with the web we have archive.org and other archiving efforts.

With DRMd ebooks there are legal and technical measures in effect to try and prevent archiving.

I commented on the article to explain that Portland is pretty different due to the differences between 'trucks' and 'carts.' Obviously a cheaper trailer without high fuel costs makes getting started a little easier, and I suspect our permits are a bit cheaper as well. All that equals more carts out there competing for business.

The interesting thing that I've heard about here in Portland is that at the bigger pods, landlord tenant contracts include agreements not to allow potential competitors to lease, include restrictions on style of food, i.e. landlord not allowed to lease to a second Thai cart on the same lot.
Try playing existing adversarial games with them. Instead of a single dice, each player gets a set of them and picks one of them before rolling, without showing it.

Risk gets much more fun that way, for example - because suddenly, even the individual battles are about imagining you can read the other players intentions.
The charges in the indictment seem ludicrously disproportionate to the observed impact. I mean, giving away your workplace credentials is beyond stupid (and highly unprofessional), but I think it doesn't quite rise to "30 years in jail" as a valid punishment.
You make some good points here, but I think you're arguing against a nonexistent position.

Is anyone really saying that RSS is obsolete? Google certainly isn't. As for "If Google Reader isn’t being used, then why the outrage around the Internet?", well, a few people use it (as Google says, "... the product has a loyal following ....") and they are being loud about it.

But the fact is that RSS is not that popular. Maybe it should be. It isn't. And outside of the ranks of the few that use it, that fact is rather obvious. For example, I'm a computer science professor. Not too long ago I set up an RSS feed for my class announcements. I asked in class once whether students were using the feed. And out of some 15 junior/senior computer-science majors, only one knew what RSS was. I think that's rather telling.

So the solution to the problem is hardly to convince Google to keep Reader around. Rather, it is to make people aware of RSS, and implement new interfaces to it, that improve its usability.
This is really fantastic. I've been working on a new UI for something like this and I'd love to compare notes once I dig in a little bit. Great stuff!
It could be something like a streaming Flash video, which the browser never has a complete copy of.
Thanks. Yeah good idea, I think we can change the table to prevent redundant data.
you know nearly every cracked executable runs in a similar fashion?

they are already nearly indistinguishable from malware.

your average anti-virus program will flag a cracked executable every time, and you can routinely spot the less savvy users by viewing any torrent comment section and looking for "AVG FLAG AS TROJAN DO NOT DOWNLOAD"
Thanks for this comment. Where can one get blocks of fax numbers. You mentioned CLEC's get block of phone numbers, is there a similar system for allocating blocks of fax numbers. For instance HelloFax usually assign Fax numbers to customers based on area code. Where do they get the fax numbers from?

Many thanks.
What's the maximum payload size on App.net? Last time I went looking all I learned was that it's larger than Twitter's.
1. Start with any key.

2. Look up the relative minor.

3. Go one step to the right and/or one step to the left in the Circle of Fifths. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_of_fifths

There, you have the most popular and pleasant-sounding chord progressions in any key. If you want funkier progressions, go further in the circle.

Edit: The chords sound more jazzy when you go counter-clockwise (it is the circle-of-fourths). Thanks for the correction, @gnaritas.
I wanted to find out which one is more ubiquitous and the None option (as well as the ones having both cash and phone) does not impact the result.
> And no it's not travel if you are in the same country

You can think that but you are wrong.
You can add alternate domains to Google Apps accounts which can work just as the main domain. So you don't have to migrate anything, it is the same account just acknowledges and accepts the alternate domain.
Friend of mine runs something similar. http://www.thefabler.com/
Really a pro PR move to do this on the same day as the Google Reader shutdown announcement and I/O sellout.
> If you throw out all the 'tit-for-tat' assumptions, it really makes sense. Google has an API for nearly everything. I could easily see this as a standardization approach.

Except caldav is just a protocol. It's not an API. Google could have made an API that supports the caldav protocol, but chose not to.

This also effects me a lot, personally, because I have a Kindle Fire and an iPhone, and I use my Google calendar to sync up everything between the two.
I don't think "how much everyone hates it" has anything to do with the reporting, in fact, just like the rest of us, they were probably operating on information provided to them by the developers, and just like the rest of us, are slowly finding out mechanics of the game are not what they were said to be at all.

some people just see what they want to see, though, I suppose.
As a side note, there is another "pipes like" project out there, called DERI Pipes[1]. Development appears to have ended some time back, but I've created a fork[2] of the Github project and am planning to do some work on this.

Anybody else who's interested in this sort of thing, give me a shout.

We also have a demo server setup where you can play with the thing, at: http://demo2.fogbeam.org:8080/pipes/
