I'd be super interested to know how other countries / jurisdictions specify what is learner approved. For us, I guess it would just mean a bigger dataset and potentially, more sophisticated mechanisms of filtering?

While it's frustrating for users of the service, I think this Reader shutdown provides a great opportunity for so many smaller developers to spruik their product or build another option in the space.
I didn't mean that comment as a complain so push back a lot :)

The thing I wanted to mention, is I'm actually doing well for myself (well, somewhat) but if you are earning 20k EUR a year, after taxes, you don't have that much to save after everything is payed.

But since you mentioned the 32k, care to share how much you would take home a month after taxes? Just curious...

> Though, GPUs are meant for highly specialized number-crunching, they doesn't have direct access to system memory. One also gets additional latency transferring data between RAM and GPU memory.

Yes they do when shared memory is used, not all GPUs have dedicated memory.

Even the PS4 will have shared memory between CPU and GPU systems.

> Also, GPU is a temporary technology. Wait for some time, and see CPUs getting more GPU like.

This is Intel's wish because their GPUs suck, I don't think it will happen.

The mining rewards on the 0.8 branch went poof

A mining reward is actually just a special transaction that the miner includes in blocks they find that let them pay themselves out of thin air.

So, the mining reward transactions on the 0.8 branch only exist on that branch, since the 0.7 chain had its own reward transactions made out to its own miners. When the network reached consensus on the 0.7 branch, money that miners on 0.8 thought they earned just disappeared (other clients stopped acknowledging their reward bitcoins).

Some pool operators lost out too, since they paid people who found blocks on the 0.8 branch.
Seems to be back up again now. Is getting a bit silly though.

It's possible to build a decentralized fork detector that anyone can run. All you have to do is run a bunch of versions of bitcoin nodes, and run a cron job to check and see if they have differing opinions on which fork is currently valid.

If you discover a recent fork of length > x, you might want to hold off on verifying or making transactions for a bit until things clear up.

> The bitcoin industry/community seems incapable of writing secure software

Dan Kaminsky (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Kaminsky) would probably disagree:

"When I first looked at the code, I was sure I was going to be able to break it, Kaminsky said, noting that the programming style was dense and inscrutable. The way the whole thing was formatted was insane. Only the most paranoid, painstaking coder in the world could avoid making mistakes.…He quickly identified nine ways to compromise the system…when he found the right spot, there was a message waiting for him. Attack Removed, it said. The same thing happened over and over, infuriating Kaminsky. I came up with beautiful bugs, he said. But every time I went after the code there was a line that addressed the problem.…I’ve never seen anything like it, Kaminsky said, still in awe…Either there’s a team of people who worked on this, Kaminsky said, or this guy is a genius."

Kaminsky was talking about Satoshi's code, but some of the current devs seem good. For example, there's Mike Hearn, a senior security engineer at Google. And Jeff Garzik, a linux kernel developer.

Question: Do you have any technical friends? If so, take them out for a beer and see what they think.

Either way, it might help to get a bit of technical experience. If you want to start making these apps yourself, and I think that might be a good idea, think of the simplest possible one and try making it.

This is a good article I read earlier: http://www.jakelevine.me/blog/2013/03/dont-learn-how-to-code...

Many people have done this before you - gone from zero to coder - especially if you have the time and motivation.

But I can tell you that this sort of thing is a lot easier if you have someone to help you out with it or at least provide you with support and motivation.

Alternatively, if you have loads of money, you might want to hire a professional to make you a prototype. Then, when that's done, try selling it. When that's done, hire full-time staff to keep driving the product forward and selling it.

But if you're looking to get involved yourself (it can be pretty fun!) in the dev - give it a go ;)

Good luck :)

You raise an interesting point. I've seen plenty of white female entrepreneurs and plenty of black male entrepreneurs, but I can't recall any image of a black female entrepreneur (or any other woman of color) asides from Oprah :p and a few women who appeared on Shark Tank.

Sigh, I actually started building a RSS reader for fun five days ago. Now Google Reader is shutting down, and it seems like everyone is starting to build one.
This is not an oversight, it's even mentioned in their privacy policy [0], although I also stopped at that point. Whenever I see a service requesting permission to even have a look at my contact list, I really wish there were a button like "No, I really don't need this social stuff because I know noone in my contact list uses your service anyway and if someone does, I really don't care".

Well, get back to yours :)
Only a small subset of sites get paid at all. Many networks has a treshold on how many acquisitions a publisher must create before they get paid anything. E.g a small publisher may create one customer per month with a commission of $5, but the threshold for payout is $50 and the network may charge a withdrawal fee plus wire transfer fees going to other middle men. In the end, the network gets huge amounts of advertising but pays almost nothing.
Ideally there's little difference, like Google Reader. There's a web interface and a mobile app that syncs with it. (Do people really use a desktop client? If so, why? Seems like a relic of another age, like desktop email clients.)
Google cant change its mind like that. It wod project a badly on them.

If so, I start to understand why I'd been hearing so many people talking about wine investments.

A bit off-topic, but since I discovered Intel's compiler years ago, I've been wondering why I, the generic desktop programmer, would want to pay for a compiler when the free ones are pretty damn good. I can think of only a small set of use cases where the CPU manufacturer might know the best optimization for some code that's heavily utilized in compute-intensive projects, but that seems like a small market.
I agree with you, seems that there are a million different frameworks but not enough community around one to make any of them really stick. If all the devs for those different projects could just put their heads together into one project...

It looks a lot like TowerJS or CompoundJS or FlatIron, but I'm still going to try it because there is still something lacking in those frameworks that I can't quite put my finger on.

Overall, though, I love CompoundJS with JugglinDB... but I tend to really love any framework I spend a lot of time with.

I wonder why there is no c11status page for GCC. They already added support for many things to GCC 4.6/4.7.

http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.7/changes.html

> * Alignment support (_Alignas, _Alignof, max_align_t, <stdalign.h>).

> There is now experimental support for some features from the upcoming C1X revision of the ISO C standard. This support may be selected with -std=c1x, or -std=gnu1x for C1X with GNU extensions. Note that this support is experimental and may change incompatibly in future releases for consistency with changes to the C1X standard draft. The following features are newly supported as described in the N1539 draft of C1X (with changes agreed at the March 2011 WG14 meeting); some other features were already supported with no compiler changes being needed, or have some support but not in full accord with N1539 (as amended).

Agreed. It's an interesting lesson for tech focused people.

I think you can get around this by introducing social or gaming elements to the product. We didn't have the resources or the time to try that (and the size of the opportunity/market didn't justify the investment required).
Fantastic. I've been riding for roughly 10 years and, in the US at least, the idea of learning to ride before one hops on a scarily-powerful/heavy motorcycle is a polarizing factor (either one absolutely agrees with it, or one scoffs at the very notion).

I realize this is targeting Aussies, but the more resources dealing with the idea of learning to ride _safely_, the better.

Thanks for sharing this. You clearly understand well what your core challenges were.

The interesting part is that you probably knew all of this going in. Perhaps you were so enamored with your idea, that you wanted to believe these were not the insurmountable challenges that they were. Reminds me of couples who marry knowing of certain glaring problems, but proceed anyway because they are "in love". Whether they downplay the problems, convince themselves they can overcome them or otherwise, these are frequently the very problems that lead them to failure (divorce).

But, more frequently, we probably just think these challenges will melt away or work themselves out somehow. Maybe that's why these businesses always look so good going in!

This is not to lambast you--quite the opposite actually. I have been there and I am still susceptible. I applaud you for acknowledging your challenges and getting out relatively early.

Good luck to you on your next venture!
What are the Options to Make Cheap International Calls
There's nothing stopping anyone from sending POST requests to wherever he wants, even without an XSS. the same-domain origin policy only forbids you from reading the response, not from sending the request. CSRF-wise, POST requests are just as vulnerable as GET requests.

Also, if someone does manage to find an XSS vulnerability, using a CSRF token won't be any good - the attacker can simply read the token from your website and use it.

It's horrible. Otherwise, I haven't bought anything I didn't really need in years :P Although there's another test I do to stop myself from thinking I "need" something - whether I'll still enjoy it and use it after one year (or two).

There was a huge bubble, that popped. Our timing was off completely (a lot of our target sellers want to sit on their stock until prices go back up), but the other problems we faced (outlined in the post) were greater.

As for wine prices - they're starting to creep back up again. It's an interesting commodity - a finite amount is produced each year. It tends to improve with age, while supply decreases and demand increases.

Prices increased so much (more than the normal 10-15% per year) because newly minted Chinese people got a taste for it and bought everything they could get their hands on.

>IMHO, feed reading should be integrated into the browser as a tab, not in the hands of commercial interests.

This is a really interesting idea. Has there been any talk in Chrome development about building a browser-side RSS reader? Google would still get all the information they get from Reader now but they'd be making the 'feature' exclusive to their browser. This coming not long after Apple removed their feed managing ability in the web browser, meaning they could get a load of Chrome converts on OS X just from that.

It'd be really interesting to see what happened if browser-side RSS became "the thing" again. Although, as julien pointed out, doing it browser-side doesn't necessarily mean your RSS isn't in the hands of a commercial interest.

Consumers/collectors wanted a better deal (they were paying minimum 10-20% to middle men when buying and selling).

It's been ages since I used icc. But last time I used it, it could really do magic when it came to vectorisation and SSE support. So if you have heavy numeric code then it might be worth it. For Linux you can get a free (as in beer) edition for non-commercial use.

For normal desktop applications it probably doesn't make sense.

I've had this discussion before: One reason you don't frequently hear about founders that are women and minorities is that journalists don't go out of their way to point out the physical characteristics of people. To do so would itself be potentially prejudicial.

To use your example, if a company is run by a black woman, no responsible reporter is going to put in their article "Oh, and by the way, this company is run by a black woman." Just think of how negative that sounds.
