I've been playing around with it recently, among other options. I'd definitely say it's closer to the way I work, but not quite "it" yet. Two things I think might help:

1) Integration with something like Full Contact so that folks can get social data about prospects. Having that makes it easier to personalize outreach and stay up to date with what folks are doing.

2) Outreach tracks. For a long time I've wanted a CRM to have adjustable sales tracks. So the way that might work is there's an initial outreach, and then the next step changes based on what the outcome of that was. If I get no reply, then remind me to follow up in a week or so and let me add a template for that follow up. If I get a reply, then let me note what happened and then go down a different path to closing. If I get an objection, then let me choose from a list of objection options with a template that I've already developed for each of them.

I'm a single data point, so don't take it as gospel. I really do love the email integration. It's amazing to me that so many sales efforts rely on email these days, but that so few CRMs handle email with anything close to something that works. I think you guys get that right more than most other options.

Hmm...interesting. I recall an application listed in the side bar of Yahoo mail (in one of their older interfaces) which I recall downloading and using as a drive through windows explorer. Somehow I am quite sure it was not yousendit because I do know yousendit through the time when they first started. Anyways, I think this Dropbox/Yahoo integration is more of a PR hype than a substantive item in itself.

Well, I have an MBA and also instruct on how one should architect their code since I have a strong engineering background.

I am smart enough to realize what language to use and how to do this in a way that fits the target audience. I don't preface my discussions with - "Please don't be offended that I have a business degree."

This is my point, your audience will judge you on your content, not your disclaimer.

You have your opinion on this and we respectfully disagree :). Good for you for writing the article.
I use FogBugz for a few personal projects. They have a free version for up to two users, and it includes bugs tracking and git/hg repository. http://www.fogcreek.com/fogbugz/StudentAndStartup.html

Let's stop the misunderstanding right here. They've done a fantastic job, both in terms of teaching and connections. 100% of the recently graduated first cohort is hired.

Their connections have brought top-rate speakers from Heroku, Pinterest, Twitter, TapJoy, Coursera and others and the connections did get more companies in the door than we have graduating students. That list just doesn't include some companies that stuck to more conservative screening practices.

I commented here to connect with those seeking skills I and my classmates have to offer, not to solicit criticism from the peanut gallery. I love Hack Reactor.
> it's generally bad form (even if not illegal per se, unless it amounts to trademark infringement) to make it seem like you have an association with them when you don't.

Doing this can be a violation of section 43(a) of the Lanham Act, 15 USC 1125(a):

"(1) Any person who ... uses in commerce any word, term, name, symbol, or device, or any combination thereof, or any false designation of origin, false or misleading description of fact, or false or misleading representation of fact, which— (A) is likely to cause confusion, or to cause mistake, or to deceive as to the affiliation, connection, or association of such person with another person, or as to the origin, sponsorship, or approval of his or her goods, services, or commercial activities by another person, ... shall be liable in a civil action ...." (Emphasis added.)

Glad to see the questions raised but I fail to see how free will can at all be compared to buffer overflow or how in doing so we draw any closer to an explanation or understanding of its existence. I think if your goal is merely to show that free will can't be discounted by the laws of the known universe you're better off comparing it to "strange matter," things that share physical properties with most matter but are missing fundamental blocks of what we call matter like mass (gravitons) or interaction with matter (neutrinos). That allows us to say that if this "strange matter" can violate those rules, there is the possibility that something exists in the universe that operates on the fringe of known matter, still interacting but violating most of what we consider "rules" regarding matter's existence, perhaps even allowing us to operate freely.
In computing terms, free will is probably more like a systemic computer, maybe it's more easily understood as a human's ability to reprogram itself. A highly evolved, biological machine capable of reprogramming itself. Although that just begs the question since the reprogrammer must still be programmed at some higher level to follow commands.
The process of making a biological machine like that is a blast, but they're wildly unpredictable, as you would expect anything truly capable of freely reprogramming itself would be. ;)

My sense is that MOST of the users won't come back. And that's a shame, because they were very important. Delicious is still around--I haven't logged in in a year. I love Google Reader, but I might just use this as an excuse to read a lot fewer sites...or more books.
The point is that RSS is dependent upon user's self-creation needs, versus that of a thing created for them by someone else. TV by its very nature a medium which is created for you and Internet was supposed to be the opposite of it. I agree with the gist of the argument presented in the OP's article but my point is that we were never progressing on the Internet for the better although it surely looked like that we are and we will. The lack of adoption of RSS by the mass, is just one evidence of how we use Internet like it is a TV.
#1 was the attempt with the legislation in question but it gives too many people an easy way out which is part of the problems it creates. But the other problem is that not everyone can contribute evenly. Thus begins the problem of pushing for fairness so that some pay more than others. Then to be more fair there's a push to increase the limit as to what constitutes "too poor" to pay. Next thing you know politicians are using it to buy votes. Today it's "vote for me or they'll take away your Social Security!" and tomorrow it will be "vote for me or they'll take away your health insurance!"

#2 is the most common way in the US but not necessarily through just unions. It's all about group plans and whatnot in an effort to control pricing. The problem is that this method doesn't cover everyone and discourages certain types of employment as described elsewhere in this thread. In some cases, large unions use the benefits as leverage against their members for various reasons and/or against the employer as a PR tool such as "they are hurting our kids!" type of tactic.

#3 is part of my point as one of the reasons that companies went wild on offering health benefits to workers was to get around a government enforced wage freeze during war. There were companies that offered such benefits before but during the wage freeze it started to become normal to be offered the benefits.

I find it fascinating that after decades of escalation in the problems in US healthcare and insurance the best solutions anyone can come up with and/or get passed is to increase the very thing that almost everyone agrees is broken. "He's been shot three times and he's dying! What should we do?" "Shoot him three more times and see if that helps. Otherwise, we'll have to think of something else."

If you're using your credit card, then it's security.

A lot of credit card thieves will make a small purchase (say.. at a gas pump) to see if the card is still active.

Doubtful that this practice protects against the card skimmers that get installed inside the pump (which is why you should be buying gas with a credit card and not a debit card -- you have better consumer protections against fraud)
Also, if you're interested in adding interactivity, I would love to contribute.

But then you lose pureness, right? The whole point of using high-order functions is allowing you to be as declarative as mathematics, so you can just operate functions together.

Thanks! I will do some follow-up posts on performance, but know that it has been a MAJOR design consideration.

Consider the following in Saddle:

val s1 = Series(vec.rand(10000), Index(Vec(array.randIntPos(10000)) % 100))

val s2 = Series(vec.rand(10000), Index(Vec(array.randIntPos(10000)) % 100))

clock { s1.join(s2, how=index.OuterJoin) }

This clocks in at 19ms on my machine after Hotspot kicks in.

The equivalent pandas:

In [10]: ix1 = np.random.random_integers(0, 100, 10000)

In [11]: ix2 = np.random.random_integers(0, 100, 10000)

In [12]: df1 = DataFrame({'x' : np.random.rand(10000)}, ix1)

In [13]: df2 = DataFrame({'y' : np.random.rand(10000)}, ix2)

In [14]: %timeit df1.join(df2, how='outer')

I really like this trend of mobile apps with a fully functional experience on the web. Adrift for iOS is nice example of using this approach for a trial/teaser experience. It's worth checking out the fully playable demo on the game's site at http://www.playadrift.com/, and the base app is free if you want to compare/contrast that to the mobile device experience. Beautifully done, IMO.
If you're familiar with or interested in Prolog, I would definitely recommend checking out Mercury. The language home page was just migrated and they're having broken link issues, but here's a link: http://www.mercurylang.org/ Also, you can check out the wikipedia page for a quick summary: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_programming_language

The language has a lot of functionality that Prolog doesn't have and (thanks to a strong typing system) performs much better. It just needs a bigger community to support it.

IMO the lack of adoption of RSS is more due to technical reasons and the complex nature of it than a lack of motive. You use TV as an example, but today YouTube has much more viewers than tv, choosing their own content. Picturing people as a homogenous, brainless mass is very short-sighted.
