My 2 cents, start hosted and get sales moving and work within the confines of a hosted solution. If/when sales are moving at a good clip and they can justify the expense then you can talk about using either a e-commerce framework or a custom solution.

As for frameworks/systems: there are lots of options other than Magento, it depends on the stack you want to sit on and they all have pros/cons.

I almost always recommend small clients (or new ecomm shops) start off with a hosted solution, then graduate to a framework solution and only when all else fails going to a fully custom ecommerce solution. The costs of developing, managing and scaling a custom solution is just a high barrier to entry so that is why it is the last idea to me. There are always exceptions but I have seen this recipe work well for people.
#go-nuts is a great experience. I've been on IRC for many many years for dozens of different technologies and those first few years when everyone is just centered on the technology itself, where the egos are still in check are just a joy.

#go-nuts is just like that, helpful and healthy people, a sane pace for everyone, none of the inbred humor that older channels tend to promote, just simple flow and sharing of information.

Console parts are commodity, not cash cows. I'm sure AMD will make a profit, but not much. NVIDIA and Intel never made much money here either.
Yes.

While (British) newspapers are happy to print any old nonsense so long as they can source it to "somebody said", bogus AP press releases is just daft.

Which is why the British government shouldn't spend so much time whining about how Google, Amazon, Starbucks, etc, "aren't paying enough taxes" when it's the EU laws they backed that enable their behavior.

Personally I do blame EU regulations for this situation, but the British government is worse in being hypocritical by supporting certain laws and regulations while being unhappy with their consequences.
After reading Taleb's books and thinking about his strategy, it's akin to buying lottery tickets. Lots of little losses with a large win on infrequent random events.

It sounds more regal when you say "structure the trades to reduce your exposure to downside risk while increasing your exposure to upside from unanticipated random events" though.

In my experiments, canvas performance on iOS devices is horrible, and especially with Phonegap... it takes from 100..200 ms to draw a single frame, crazy... Try opening iPad http://funwithhtml5.com/source/reportCanvasBug.html and try to rotate iPad and see how from 1..2 ms per frame it goes to 200ms per frame.

I am playing right now with Ejecta which translates JavaScript to ObjectiveC, and then I get a very good speed, no matter how I rotate the screen.

Which is another shrinking market. AMD needs a mobile and/or GPU/CPU integration strategy. I think ARM is about to eat everyone's lunch for consumer products. Not sure what may happen with Intel, as there's still some life left for servers.
The Netherlands might be the closest country to Switzerland where you can buy lots of painkillers for cheap. Germany is also expensive.

They should have released two different products. Chat Heads and Facebook Home.

I think Chat Heads looks like a strong product (only from referencing the videos though, I don't have it).

Without Chat Heads, would Facebook Home have been released to such a fanfare?

Don't know how big is the target market for this, but it shows that you put lots of work in this, the website and sample chapters look great!
Looks like it has some good info, but you need a copy editor. If I'm going to shell out $30 for a book, I don't want to see typos and strange run-on sentences. Those sorts of things make the book much harder to read.

For example, take your home page:
"You’re interested in making games or other interactive HTML5 apps, but you don’t quite know were to start and what you will need to accomplish that."

That should be "where", not "were".

That is not entirely correct - UIWebView canvas rendering is far behind OpenGL layers like CocoonJS, Ejecta or directCanvas(AppMobi) in terms of performance - the difference however is, that those tools are able to ONLY render canvas-contents, so you are not really able to render any HTML5 forms, input ect... but that's not what canvas-games are about.

Good point. I'll add it.
Well, I believe the person in question wasn't saying that the project itself was saying "fuck you", but the people answering the response were saying it. The point being that there are too many people that say if you don't contribute then shut the fuck up. But, of course, different people contribute in different ways. Not everyone who uses open source software are developers, and for many of these people the simple fact they use the software is their way of contributing. So when one of these people stand up and say, "I have this problem", the appropriate response is not "contribute or shut the fuck up". This is the response that is being encouraged here. It is irrelevant if the statement about a problem came from an individual or a company. The reason that such a response is a bad idea is that it actively encourages people to not use the software in question. If the goal is to get everyone to stop using open source software, then by all means continue to tell them to fuck off.

Flipboard does quite a good job of grabbing content from multiple sources of your choice and displaying them in an attractive format. It's not a homescreen thing, but that's probably for the best. Do you really want non-urgent things shoved in your face constantly?

Google Now has the most useful approach here, and I'm eager to see that developed even further. If you could populate it with selected RSS feeds, that would be nice.
Orbital has been around the block many, many more times than SpaceX.
I think successful "pivots" like this usually have to do with rebalancing the risk of the customers. In the article's example, the risk is shifted away from the publishers ("am I sure this software will be worth it?") to the startup ("we only make money when this works").

To my eyes, even the more traditional enterprise-to-SaaS model shifts that are happening reflect the same trend - trading the (customer) risks of big $$$ up-front, long implementation etc for the (startup) risks of needing to attract more customers to make the same amount of $$$.
This is irrelevant.

those intrusive apps are made with carrier integration in mind.

Narrato are building an open platform for the quantified self. They currently only have one sample app called Narrato journal but it might be one to keep an eye on:

On the subject of quantified self Stephen Wolfram's blog post 'The Personal Analytics of My Life' (http://blog.stephenwolfram.com/2012/03/the-personal-analytic...) is an interesting read.

Having experienced all three, by working as a grad student, as well as in a quant fund and starting an internet/tech startup, I can say that I gained enjoyment from all of these roles.

Each experience presented interesting challenges. Quant trading was very mathematical, academically interesting and presented "big data" issues right at the start. Tech startups taught me a lot about management, getting things done (TM) and why you need to have a market BEFORE building a product! Academia taught me how to really analyse a problem to an extreme degree and how to quickly find solutions.

Right now I'm enjoying building quant trading systems. To a certain extent they can be fully automated (although you have to be aware of "alpha decay" - i.e. strategies losing their profitability over time) and thus it is possible to have other interests.
>If someone makes Facebook Home for aggregated RSS feeds, than they've invented mobile crack and I will never be able to put it down. So maybe don't do that.

Chat Heads is actually a separate feature although I haven't seen many people online note this. I cannot yet install Facebook Home on my device but when I last updated the Facebook Messenger app on my phone, I got Chat Heads.

I wonder if the comment period is just another part of security theater, given the LATimes is showing a lot of pre-established counter arguments to claims.
There's tax evasion, which is clearly illegal. There's tax avoidance, which is clearly legal, and is what everyone should be doing.

Google are in a weird middle ground. They're obeying the letter of the current law, but certainly not the spirit. 'Be careful with incentives' comes into play here; the UK government incentivises with some tax breaks, and so obviously some companies exploit that.

Google is stupid when they mention PAYE. That's not a tax that they pay, it is a tax that their employees pay. Pointing out that the little people pay their tax while the big company doesn't is really awful PR. Starbuck is stupid when they point out all the VAT. Again, that's a tax paid by the customer, and not Amazon.

And tax avoidance is against Google's best interest. They want smart, well educated, workers. Pay the tax and fund the education system.

Perhaps it's a cultural thing? In the US when someone makes a lot of money people tend to think "The American way, well done them" etc. Over here? Not so much. It's a lot better than it was, but we've had ridiculously high tax rates in this country. The highest rate was over 99% during WWII. But it was 90% for most of the 50s and 60s.

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxation_in_the_United_Kingdom)

While we're going through austerity we're going to be vociferous when we find people not joining in, not doing their bit, not pulling their weight.

Google really needs to work out some better PR. Hopefully along the lines of "Our tax avoidance was a bit extreme, and we're dialling that back a bit so we pay more tax in the UK. Also, here's some stuff for schools, hope it's useful."
This also has a similar profile to the classic momentum - "trend following" - strategies. Higher quantity of loss-making trades (albeit small losses), but the winners win big.

Totally agree. I believe they're waiting till 4K reaches a price that will sell - which is just beginning to happen ( http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/15/seiki-offcially-prices-it... ). It's the only realistic way they can offer a future-proofed device that will look great for an extended period of time as more 4k content becomes available.
But, the only real change is the larger address space. And some rarely used features of IPv4 were removed. How is that 2nd system syndrome?
First, thanks for your contribution. Second, I didn't downvote you. Third, the question was never whether you knew how to store a password. There are many reasons to need to be able to use even 'broken' primitives (esp. for compatibility with legacy apps or conversion), which makes them valuable (or at least necessary) for some apps. This is why I was guessing that your post was focused on passwords.
It's not a joke! In Canada, go to the pharmacy section of any large supermarket and you can easily find large bottles with 500 tablets of 500mg acetaminophen/paracetamol. Even small pharmacies carry bottles with 100-200 tablets of Tylenol (branded product) or a generic version.
One could always try rewriting IPv6 into a ipv4 extension as rfc1726 hint that some IP versions could be done, and then use the original ipv4 part as backward compatibility data, pointing towards a ipv4-ipv6 gateway. On the upside, it would be cooperative with the current ipv6 work.

I do not know if such attempts has been made or considered, or if its would be easier than the current approach.

Taleb responds to the analogy with lottery tickets by pointing out that lottery tickets have a strictly bounded upside (and a strict bound on the expectation of winning).
Totally with you! All too often I hear the blanket statement thrown around that you should never use a tutorial and instead focus your energy and time in creating a really elegant UI. We live in a world where things have to happen quickly, where reinventing the wheel is startup failure 101, where you can get a full web app running in under 10 minutes. Build the tutorial, and then figure out your UI when you have time and money. Not true for all cases, of course.

Under the APA, administrative acts that establish new regulations (rules) require notice and comment. The TSA tried to implement this without the required notice and comment process, and EPIC got a court order requiring them to. So it's for show on their part in the sense they didn't want to do it in the first place. But now that it's a notice and comment rulemaking, that sets the stage for endless litigation over any procedural failures and court oversight of their determinations.

The pre-established counter arguments are there for efficiency. The way notice and comment works is that you have to respond to significant new issues that come up. You might have to have another round of comments on the new issues. If you anticipate counter arguments up front, that saves time on the back and forth.
Isn't the issue here that pretty much everyone would be behind Carrier Grade NATs? For every 1000 or so servers (or CGNs) an ISP adds to a network, 1000 home users must be NATted. I think you can rule out vhosts and the like for NAT traversal use, so that means you need to supply a VPS or dedicated server for this and pay extra for the bandwidth/IP address. Alternatively, you can use 6to4/Teredo/native IPv6 right now as your "overlay network" to address clients directly and avoid all that at the expense of using up CGN mappings. Bearing in mind that Windows 7 already has decent IPv6 support along with Teredo on by default anyway, why bother trying to work around the NAT?
I agree 100% (I didn't create the shared project, was just sharing it)
It's not about opening up safari or chrome. HTML5 "apps" are simply a browser window and the guts are implemented in HTML/Javascript/CSS. This is how LinkedIn's app used to work and it is the basis for Phonegap (which powers most HTML5 based apps).

The memory management bit Prasad references is a big deal too. Can you imagine not being able to release a feature that you've invested a lot of money into because you've got a performance problem or crashing issue that the tooling is not good enough to let you solve?
Chat Heads is really great and it made me think apps multitasking could learn a thing from it. Say for example you double tap on the home button to get all open App Heads, close the ones you don't need anymore and open the others in mini windows by taping on their logos. I can see that being a much better experience than what we have right now (which is not multitasking at all).

Given the figures (1 in 50 women has an abortion, per year, CDC figures), yes, I would find it very hard to believe that humans killed more dogs (whether in North America or the world) than they abort human fetuses. I doubt vets put down 1 dog per 200 people per year.

The shape of the container of the neurons does not really influence whether they fire or not. 18 days is simply the earliest that I've seen neural activity reported (actual firing neurons, after receiving signals). It's actually more of a "at the latest" figure, not a lower bound.

There is no even a compelling theory going either way as to whether these signals are random (I assume that's what you mean by "spontaneous depolarisations of action potential", otherwise it'd make no sense : that happens in fetuses, you and me, and granddads. For that matter, it happens in corpses weeks after death. They are neither an indication of consciousness, nor an indicator of it's absence).

Given how neural cells work, and that there are actual living animals that have shapes very similar to fetuses in this stage of development whose movements are definitely not random, my guess would be that these signals are anything but random. I would even say that it's extremely likely that these neurons are capable of sensing their environment in some way and attempting to come to grips with it, because in the animals they are.

Here's a picture of the human embryo at 18(-21) days after conception :
