The way I do it now is tell the client to check back in X seconds depending on how many available workers compared to used workers there are.

I already have this wrapper for client side on iOS and working on a Batman.js version.

I usually do this for client side Login with different providers.

Say Facebook or Twitter.
Login on the client, obtain token, send to server for validation. Server validates against Facebook/Twitter.

Server will tell the client to check back in X seconds.
Client waits X seconds and does another check. Server is either done or not.

I rather do that, than to keep a request open.
It's easier to manage on iOS as well since, say the user decides to check their email while the login is still processing.

Only a extreme small subset of websites get paid per viewed ad. Its mostly an relic of the past which most ad-networks has move away from.

The wast majority of websites with ads get paid per clicked ad or per sold unit/registration. They don't get paid a single dime for visitors that do not click on the ads (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compensation_methods). The big exception is video and video sites where commercials has a different purpose and economic model (branding mostly).

That means, if one never click on ads on a website, it's equivalent to running ad-block on your browser. There is no moral superior choice by allowing ads to run on the screen. When we do, we are just fooling ourself into believing we are "contributing". At worst, we get a worse impression of the website and thus won't encourage others users who would click on the ad to visits the website.

However, I doubt this has anything to do with economics and all to do with the ap-market and it's image. Google want to encourage new developers to code for the Google Play market place, and thus anything that might scare away developers is a threat.

Pure apologism.
Once you hit a population of 50,000, you start to get bad traffic. Density then ramps up pretty quickly from there. Quite soon you'll have a population of 200,000, and the traffic is quite a lot worse, but not terribly bad.

The real horror comes when you start a region's great work. A significant number of people will leave the city in the mornings to work at the great work. If you are making a great work you are probably sending dozens of trucks with resources to it as well. The end result is you get easily 10x more vehicles leaving/entering the city. The queue to get in through the single lane off-ramp from the highway then ends up stretching all the way to the next city, and it takes a good 24 hours for the cars at the end to get in. It then ends up stabilizing, taking maybe 4-6 hours for someone to get into the city.

Also, a large number of cars 'just passing through' will use your city entrance as a 'quick' way to do a U-turn on the highway, blocking traffic even more.
"a feedly clone of the Google Reader API – running on Google App Engine"

So it will also die when Google shuts down App Engine? :)
It is time consuming. I have been working on my own open source reader and it takes a lot of effort to get right.

Even worse, I am having a hard time to get people to try it out so I can get feedback to improve it. I keep working on it just because I rely on it for my daily news/podcast.
well, their "cleaning"s now deserve their own blog; just google this: site:"googleblog.blogspot.com" intitle:cleaning
About visiting websites that you've never visited before. It's understandable why people have ads turned off. I don't know if they have ads or not; I don't know what ad networks they're using; I don't know if the ads will have sound or not; I don't know if the ads are secure or serving malware.

I chose not to run an ad blocker, but when you have smiley ads that shout "Hello!" at you, or that mosquito ad, well, advertisers really need to put pressure on the creators of those lousy ads to just stop doing it.
I worked in the games industry for over 10 years. A platform other than Windows was not an option. Microsoft provide a solid platform with an excellent tool set. Not only that but all of the main content authoring tools (3DStudio Max, Photoshop) exist in Windows only (I realise PS exists on other platforms, but MAX did not).

Games studios operate on extremely tight budgets, often a hand to mouth existence on publisher deliverables. This is their only revenue stream. It simply makes no sense to move a team of 50 people to another OS when everything they need and know already exists in Windows.

I've been out of the industry for 5 years now, I still keep in contact with my friends in the industry, and as far as I know things are still the same.

Qt is a very powerful library for C++, probably most popular for writing GUI apps. Google Earth and VLC are written with Qt (using QWidgets).

QML is the new, declarative (finally!) way to define the GUI. Blackberry 10 is built atop QML 1.1 (Qt 4.8.4 with some custom improvements for QNX). QML2 in Qt5 runs the entire UI atop Open (E)GL 2 and is very responsive, even on some very old hardware. Last I read the equivalent to Android's 4.0->4.2 graphics backend overhaul isn't landing in master until 5.2, however :/

[] There are 20+ languages supported by (some more complete than others) bindings. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qt_(framework)#Bindings
Sure, but the 'authorisation' portion of a CC transaction reserves the funds and more or less guarantees payment.
This is a nice idea, and I love IFTTT, but it doesn't substitute Google Reader for most people. First, as pointed out, it is setup on a per RSS-feed basis. But still, take 50 or 100 feeds and you'll very quickly have a problem over too much information to handle. Google Readers deals with this well, but if you pile it into Pocket, it will be difficult to sort and track your reading, and your normal Pocket saves will be buried below mounds of RSS-articles that you may or may not want to read.

To me, the beauty of Google Reader (and iOS apps like Reeder) is the ability to sift through a lot of incoming information and DEAL with it, e.g. send it to Pocket, Pinboard, Evernote, etc. I'd actually wish Google Reader was even MORE optimized for dealing with large and quick information flows (such as - why can't I feed it Twitter feeds, or any page with/without RSS?). And the reader should do some pre-filtering or guesses on wheter the articles is of interest to me or not.
Absolutely not worth it if you have to invest serious time or money.

I've found that at elite schools the undergraduates are often stronger than the graduate students. My suggestion is that if you aren't happy with your current job, practice interviewing and maybe take some online courses for stuff you don't know and you'll be much better off. Most companies in the valley look at pedigree merely for sourcing candidates; once you're in the interview it's almost entirely based on your performance.

You can often get the interview with a decent GitHub resume.
> Also I don't really buy the "I've never in my life click on a website".

No, really, a lot of people just don't ever click on ads. They don't even really see the ads. There are sometimes parts of websites that I subconsciously filter out because I'm used to seeing ads in that area or they've made that bit look a bit too much like an ad.

For more extreme view-points there's the Boulder Pledge, and some people really do see any form of advertising as a type of spam. Like I say, this is a minority extreme viewpoint, but it does exist.

I wrote up a quick reponse to that one (many googlers ask for data when confronted with how their main product is declining) and here it is: techinorg.blogspot.com/2013/03/what-is-going-on-with-search-results.html

Not pretty but have some real examples. Please post your own and paste a link here or in the comments.
"I have children, a mortgage, a ridiculous collections of
bills, and a COBRA payment that's going up by $500 April 1st"

The first two are valid reasons, I should think.
Side note for comprehension, if like me you wonder: GI means GastroIntestinal. It is used in the comments both as adjective but also to refer to the whole gastrointestinal track and connected organs.
Totally fair concern. For what it's worth, I think this was intended as an interest barometer first and funding vehicle second.

If I understand correctly, passing the one million mark was sufficient to bring in WB backing. Since this would probably only cover a fraction of the production costs, it feels as if they [Warner Bros] really just wanted some market research validating interest in the product.

> Warner Brothers using Kickstarter -- or, "forcing" their property to do so? It just stinks, to me.

I know where you're coming from, but I don't feel the same way. The alternative, in this case, was literally nothing. The production would not have been greenlit, and fans would be left without a potentially interesting movie. Kickstarter has made this project a reality, and that's no small accomplishment.

There is a plethora of truly wonderful effects possible once the transaction chain is forked.
The guy did the simplest thing possible with the least effort invested after the chain forked on its own, basically.
In case we had several BitCoin codebases operating in the wild, such forks would be too easy to trigger.

Key point: the technology is crap but the demand is huge.

The 1962 CIA Paper That Predicts the Big Deal With Big Data
Absolutely correct. But to speak it aloud properly, I need to parse it properly first :p

If this were a podcast, I would have no issue understanding if spoken with the tone you mentioned.
I suspect that the percentage of knowledge workers in Europe & the US/CA who have held menial jobs prior to entering the professional workforce is significantly higher than the percentages in developing countries. I could be way wrong, but it seems there's far less social stigma attached to holding service jobs in countries where everyone knows there are attainable, relatively straightforward to achieve, better options, compared to countries where the middle class is still much smaller and a large percentage of service workers know going in they'll be holding those types of jobs for life.
State of RSS Readers
Eh? It's early days, and he's approaching it more like an engineer than a scientist; but it looks like he has the right end of the stick (for some sort of stick). He's synthesizing his food de novo, so it's very easy to control the inputs and eliminate confounding factors. He's also doing occasional measurements (albeit not regularly enough for Proper Science, perhaps), and he is offering his replacement for free to other people on the condition that they do the same measurements. His hypotheses are not ideal, because he's not a domain expert yet, but that just means he's going to be a bit slower until he reads more papers and starts avoiding other people's mistakes ;-)

One key thing I learned in university: Once you start reading papers, you're quickly going to turn into the world's leading expert on the tiny corner of science that you're reading on. (Of course, this has nothing to do with being a genius, and everything to do with no one else ever having cared about that corner before. :-P )
no. you are completely wrong and also fallacious. here is why.

i am not under any sort of misconception. i was refuting an unequivocal claim that "millionaires do not..." with 100% verified fact that yes, they in fact, do. certainly not all of them, but certainly not anywhere near NONE of them.

i never said my anecdotes were typical. you put those words into my mouth. i was refuting an unequivocal claim with specific equivocations. STRAW MAN ALERT.

and i am not fucking naive, obviously i know a lot of people have high incomes and just spend all their money and have bank accounts that look like dog shit. nobody ever said that wasn't the case. STRAW MAN ALERT.

and you know what? that is a perfectly valid way to live. the great thing about money is you get to do whatever the fuck YOU want to do with it and not what some self-righteous cheapskate on the internet tells you.
The ad business model is unsustainable and prices are falling rapidly so these people may as well come up with a better model. I have never clicked on an ad either except for testing, although I don't run ad block on all my machines although click for flash kills some too. I mainly install it if I get the particularly unpleasant weight loss ad that is common in the uk.
It would have to know the context; those limits don't apply for

That they would make such an oversight makes me even more uneasy with giving them access to my data.
I can't tell you how many or which in the global market, because I have no idea and would only speculate.

I only have an idea on the numbers in the country I live where I work for an online only news website that makes all the revenue with only advertisement.

I think I'm safe to say that we are talking about websites that are big enough to have a small team with at least one "Ad Sales Rep".

The Sale representitive will go directly to companies and sell ads either by impression (CPM) or a flat rate for a fixed period of time.

Since the amount you can sell a flat rate for a week/day/month is based on your number of impressions/users is basically another kind of CPM sale.
I'm an English teacher, so I'll bite.

That sentence is bursting at the seams. There are too many words between "Poor people have clutter" and "they have it to reduce risk", so the reader loses track of the context.

Maybe a really good writer could make that sentence work. But the rest of us can do just as well by breaking it down into smaller chunks:

> Poor people aren't dumb. They understand the virtue of living simply. But they also know the regret of discarding something, only to find they could have used it. They know the fear of repeating that costly mistake.

(In a later edit you can discard the chunks you don't need, condense the rest and, with any luck, you'll have a much pithier sentence.)
For kids it has to be more "visual" appealing.. Check out Kudos for http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/kodu/default.as... , but that is for programming.

For Web Development, i think you just need intrest and start from zero. I think your girlfriend is old enough to learn how to research things.
Help her understand the documentation so she can do it on her own and get to you when she has real trouble. (eg. learn her to Google efficiently :P)

Why don't you create an controller which results things as json, give her a basic responsive template and let her develop something with jquery (eg. a todo list), that should give some basic understanding.
Right, but those sophisticated replicators are so sophisticated that they tend to be rather tolerant of their input.

There's no reason to think we can't science out what that input needs to be, or at least to be able to find one or more valid subsets of input.

This is a rather large improvement over what most people do; one typically applies little to no science whatsoever. :-P
Also I don't really buy the "I've never in my life click on a website".

Maybe three times, ever. And not in the last 5+ years.

Advertising of any form provokes an annoyed reaction in me now. It doesn't grow your brand (with me), it doesn't make me think about your product, I don't care if it's cute or hip, it gets switched off or blocked or even just mentally filtered out. And if you do manage to break through my technological or mental walls I'll remember not to buy your products, ever.
I want to experience a site the way it was intended to be, not a manipulated version. When you create a site the placement of ads is a vital part of the actual design. Besides, nowadays with all the remarketing going on I am actually shown ads I care about.
Human females contain an environment in which an organism, after being bootstrapped, can assemble itself into a human using mostly food as input. I would argue that building the correct input for that environment and process is exactly as complex as building a human.

Bullshit -- plenty of people, especially technical folks or individuals working in IT more generally -- still haven't learned the lessons of hard work and problem solving + prioritization of tasks under pressure. Even if it's treacly, it's still worth hearing the same thing for the millionth time. I can tell you, for one, that I'll reshare this link in a place where my team might see it (especially for the benefit of the remote teams in Mexico, Brazil, and India, where programmers tend to come from upper-middle/upper class families anyway and may never have held a manual labor position in their lives).
How does AdBlock detect the ads? Isn't there a risk it removes non-ad content?
I guess you mean hard realtime. What usually on the web is called realtime is soft realtime IMHO.

Well, that's what science is for. If something is complicated and we don't understand it, we need to develop hypotheses and experiment. Over time our understanding grows.

What we don't do is go all "hurr durr it's too complicated, let's not even try".
Alright Google, I'll make a deal with you:

Until then, I'm not going to touch you.
Thanks! This should really be listed in the HN/rss page.
I don't think the ad business model is unsustainable for the simple reason that Advertising is too important for most Business to let go.

I do belive that advertising agency have not kept up with the new Technology and are playing catch up (as many other business are) and that the actual ad business model should probably be changed and right now is not what it should or will be.

The death of Google Reader might actually be a good thing, in the long run.

Google giving away their product for free effectively prevented a working market - nobody could make money selling a feed-aggregator.

With Google out of the way, there will hopefully be money sloshing around, and users who now realise how much they want this kind of service (and are prepared to pay for it).

> $10M doesn't create a TV show. It certainly isn't going to create a movie with well know actors like Veronica Mars

...I somewhat disagree. If you're financing a film of an existing property with a lot of goodwill around it (i.e, Veronica Mars), with a short shooting period (2-3 weeks, which is what they're talking about here), then you'll probably be able to get your cast to work at union rates along with points/profit participation.

US TV tends to be on the expensive side, but that doesn't mean you can't produce quality TV for less. In the UK the BBC tends to budget around $750,000-$1,000,000 per episode for prime-time drama, which gives you a good ten episode season for your $10 million.
I read the article as stating that Microsoft provide national security services with the ability to tap Skype in different ways. It's not that the Russians have figured some special hack out as I naturally inferred from the HN submission title.
If you remove the incentive to freely distribute content, eventually people will stop doing it. When this happens, most of the content you enjoy will end up behind a paywall. The reason you don't see it now is only a small portion of the internet is aware of and uses these products. Most of us can't work for free, and I imagine a substantial portion of this reader base's income is directly or indirectly supported by advertising.

> Also, we make Backbone, $ and _ globals so we don't have to inject them in every single module.

We don't; we explicitly define every dependency, always, so that it does not make any assumptions about the environment it runs in (a webpage with jquery / underscore included via script tags, for example). Second, our end-product is a single .js with Backbone and some other dependencies all combined into it. (we're not allowed to use a CDN)
Yes, and this issue is well known to anyone who's actually looked into the technical details of Bitcoin. It's really scary from a technical perspective - I believe that the developers have accidentally introduced similar issues before, it's just that no-one mined a block that triggered them.

But unless you made a site especially for mobile devices, and also use mobile-friendly ads, I'm just downloading the huge ads that you serve your desktop users, without even being able to see them when I zoom in.
