I bought the "beta" edition of the book and really enjoyed it so far. I think it covers different topics than the free django book and I absolutely think they are both valuable resources. On a related note, I always seem to get more out of books that I payed for, similar to how expensive wine always tastes better. Anyone else experience this?
> iOS is only good for people that want something which works

I believe that already disqualifies it from being a "complete joke", and the definition of a "powerful mobile computing device" might involve something else besides "being able to install whatever software you want to".
In terms of cash. So they might get 10% up front and larger portions as they near the end of the vesting period.
Yes iOS is for people who want to do something on their devices, android is for people who want to do something to their devices. Like a car owner who knows how to drive, but is not a mechanic and car owner who is a mechanic and spends days in the garage tweaking the engine instead of driving. Guess which one drives more.
Maybe that explains disparity between the market share and web usage stats for iOS and Android.

>what wonderful things google has created in the world for them to use.

Like.... search? That's all they made that I used. Every other product of theirs I used wasn't theirs when I started using it. They bought it and often fucked it up.

In another post you go on about how we should be so excited by google cars and google glass. I am excited such things have been made but I'm very disappointed that they come from google. If I ride in a google car am I going to get to recover that wasted travel time by reading a book or working on my laptop? Or will I be unable to do anything because some shitty ad is blasted at me the whole way (or, worse, at regular annoying intervals)? Same thing with google glass, this could add so much but will it? Or is this going to end up as a way for google to blast more shitty ads at me?
Completely agree with your point.

The problem is that the majority of first time founders are:
(1) overly protective about their non-existent brand
(2) afraid that they will not get any clicks
(3) so attached to the idea that even if no one clicks, the design is to blame not the idea

This leads into spending far too much time not iterating on a broken realization of an idea, insisting that "with time it'll work out" or "just a little further, we're gaining momentum", when evidence shows that the company is actually at its worst :P

Well, mostly I want to take this opportunity to double-check our assumptions. Does this threaten the autonomy of the communities and individuals that Heroku is giving to? This doesn't give Heroku some undue influence, does it? Does this create a fairness problem or a secrecy problem?

On the other side of the coin, I want to provide value to Heroku so they and others like them are incentivized to give further. See further comments below.

I've never met one that was cheap - every single one earned comfortably into the mid-$100Ks and were worth every penny.
That's irrelevant, no where is it written that mid $100K is "not cheap," supply and demand. Google, I read, nets around $1 million from an employee.

My point is that companies usually want students from top schools, pay them as little as they can, hire them young and kinda drop them into their late thirties and then complain that we have no workers. It's a nation of 300 million people: some education reform, pre-work training maybe, giving others a chance etc can go a long way.
It's not really anonymous though, transactions are publicly recorded for all time. It's also not 100% frictionless. There are fees and though they are currently low, they are there.
The mention of net2 and net4 sounds like the .Net runtime could be involved - the numbers referring to the version of the runtime. Quite the coincidence if not.

Perhaps a .Net decompiler could help. Reflector used to be the only good tool around, but since it became a paid tool, other free ones have sprung up. dotPeek is one (no idea how good it is).

that 90% of the current acts in dance music scenes would never be capable of clearing an album because of the overhead in licensing.

This appears to have two interpretations, one that the cost of licensing would be prohibitive. This seems reasonable - if there is a desire to remix then I see no reason why society should not say we will allow this at a reasonable cost. It encourages reuse and original creativity. It's a licensing issue.

The other, that it is too difficult to remember which tracks you sampled, seems invalid and is down to the professional musician upping their tools.

Overall, I have missed the last 250 years of musical progress, but I still think copyright is a good way of rewarding creativity.

This is a narrow sighted viewpoint.

I would feel scared in it on the streets due to low height - rinding a bicycle is fun, efficient but a tad risky; but riding a recumbent or this one feels like a deathwish since a SUV or truck wouldn't notice a 90cm high vehicle right in front of them, it would be obscured behind car front hood.

I don't understand how once the zero coin's serial number is revealed in the spend transaction it can remain anonymous. Can't you then go back and test previous mint transaction to see if it was for that serial number? If you're doing it continuously, so you keep a record of which mint transactions you know have been spent it would reduce the workload.

My suggestion: Make the LyX program capable of using online LaTeX compilers. (I posted this already to http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/108283/213).

This means having an API and usable connections to existing online services. I'm sure the vendors of such services would support it. So a user could simply install LyX, and benefit from the newest TeX version without installing it - slim but capable and up-to-date installations would be possible.

File storage services such as dropbox could be connected, the storage of an online compiling service used, or files could simply be uploaded each time when being compiled - LaTeX files are small, and compressed uploads or syncs would be quick.
I've just switched to self-hosted one week ago. I do not want to wait until google decide mails are not profitable enough.

Go and buy those keywords and see what happens. Google posts ad for bought keywords and that usually includes every commercial word. If the defense is that not sure if you're helping them.
The external access to your personal data is a problem that has to be acknowledged by Google or anyone else that might come with assisting solutions. I see no problems in collecting of public information and combine it with one's private information in order to serve one's needs. It's just that the resulted combined data has to stay out of some stranger's hands so I guess it has to be somehow private and local (and the tech that does the job - open-source in order to be trusted). I would therefore have no problems If I could be sure that my digital assistant, after entrusting my intimate data, would be loyal only to me. The solution provider might gain as being my supplier of public informations.

> Contracting with the enemy: 80% of DOD contracts in Afghanistan fund Taliban

No. We have here a classic case of the submitter not reading the article.

What this article is about is the perfectly boring fact that DoD's funding overseeing is not anal enough to extend to 80% of contracts made in Afghanistan, since they're so piss cheap, and checking for compliance is so difficult. Yeah, it would be cool if those contracts were taken by Taliban shell companies to fund their warfare operations. And I'm sure a few of them are. But that's not what the article is about, and that's largely not what's happening.

Take that away, and what we get is, I'm afraid, a very boring story that could interest some accounting wonks somewhere, but not many more. Not nearly as interesting as the title hints at. Massive dissapointment.

Great idea! This would also allow LyX to take advantage of collaborative editing and version control built into the online LaTeX compilers.
I don't want to act flamey here, but you should read [The Blind Watchmaker][1], R. Dawkins. The whole book is pretty interesting and analyzes exactly that complexity from an evolutionary perspective. There's also a chapter in which he describes his own "genetic algorithm" which produces life-like creatures. Pretty related to the topic in question.

All of the posts here with the vitriol turned up to 10 seem like either paid shills or friends / associates. Recent accounts, or accounts that just magically started commenting for the first time a week ago. A few comments on other articles, but strong comments defending Mike and Techcrunch. Sketchy stuff.

If you want to help Mike out, calling the girl a psycho / gold digger etc isn't helpful. All it makes me think is "maybe the guy tormented/manipulated her and drove her a bit nuts."

In her posts, she explained pretty clearly the way she expected Mike and his friends to respond through harassing posts and shill accounts etc. It's sad to think that's what is going on here.

WTF why make things even worse by posting the lawyer's letter, including private pictures etc. Fighting fire with fire? Won't that set yourself up for a defamation counter-claim?

I know what ZeroMQ does. But you argue that a one can easily write a broker on top of ZeroMQ that provides persistency, but that invalidates your biggest reason of using ZeroMQ, namely brokerlessness.

Besides SPOF is not an argument. All serious brokers have supported clustering and failover for quite a while, and they support persistency. I don't see a good reason why you may want to write a ZeroMQ-based broker instead of just using RabbitMQ.
For those that say yes, is there any reason that you don't get a personal domain, forward it to gmail.com and have Gmail send outbound with your domain?
My sentiments, exactly. (I'm 49)
I used to use a self hosted email address, but it just lead to confusion.

It was much easier to pick a team and run with it.

I picked Google.
No. Using email with your own domain is very important, especially if you use it for contacting a real person: it unties your email address from a provider. The biggest benefit is that you could switch provider very easily without ever changing your email.

Once you've done so, it no longer matters which email service you are using. If the service ever decided to shut down or shut you off, you can just switch to another service without ever worrying about losing contact.

I think the moons are okay. The very early algorithms we're seeing are primitive -- they try to avoid moons by thrusting directly away from them, which is a bad idea. When people introduce proper route planning, moons will look less overpowered.
Neither is it going to happen that every developer spends considerable resources on creating packages for every platform. Just look at the popularity of curl installs, or even at the number of developers who don't bother to provide binaries and stick to source tarballs.

I see quite a lot of these vehicles in fly by on the dutch roads, they use the road and not the bicycle lane. They are becoming quite popular. Luckely we don't have that many "tractors" as we call the big SUV's. Drivers already have to mind the bicyclists so the velocycles are just another road user.

When i'm on my racing bike i can barely keep up with the non electric velocycles, often driven by 40 year old or so professionals commuting. They are incredibly fast for little energy expended.
Care to elaborate on the why?
True, but given the way the ATC or TCAS receivers work, they really care about the history of the echos.

They are looking for a vector. It would be theoretically possible to create a ghost, give it a speed and heading to make people avoid it. But I'm not sure what it would achieve. Maybe I'm not being creative enough.

Thing is though, why would that be any different to "FY holding London NDB UFY 60 descending 40." on the radio. If you then dropped off the radio completely a massive poostorm would happen as ATC tried to figure out who that transmission came from. Whilst ATC have to try and find the plane that thinks it's got full service in class-a space (non pilots this is the busy bits of sky where you have to get permission from guys on the ground) they would divert away from that area.

I'm not aware of a TCAS system which doesn't alert the pilot to the fact it is changing the autopilot heading. If this happened in busy controlled airspace, it would have to be with acknowledgement from ATC or the pilot would at worse do a near miss to avoid a phantom that wasn't there, he certainly wouldn't hit one that was to avoid a ghost which ground wasn't warning him of.

If you're over the north atlantic and the TCAS wants to change heading or attitude, it will alert the meatbag AFAIK.
that's what I'm doing, but people see both adresses (via mydomain.com)
