The marketing guy in me wants to suggest FFOS since it immediately evokes "fast forward" in my mind.

Actually I find it quite sad.

It means many developers are doing software in 2013 as if their main system was a System V one, stuck in 1977.
The zoning restricts the market somewhat, but it like anything else can be changed. Didn't mean to come across as patronizing above — sorry if I did.

One more thing... you may have misinterpreted my comment. The situation I'm imagining is not the case where The Grove is turned into a residential development. It's the opposite — some residential areas are razed and rezoned for business, driving down The Grove's rent.
HuffPo doesn't rise to the level of "mid-tier" - they are definitely less Relevant (at least in the united States) than the mid-50 media outlets, and don't even compare to something like the Top Tier (NYT, WSJ, Tribute, LA Times).

For example, from HN Search:

Having a car is not that much of a status symbol anymore as it used to be, being ecological is "in" and saves a ton of money if you have good public transport or like biking.

I'm 29 and never owned a car.. I use Carsharing from time to time.. if I need a car I check https://www.car2go.com/de/berlin/ and https://de.drive-now.com/php/metropolis/city_berlin?cit=6099...
Can you expand on the burn thing for those of us who don't know much about pr? Is it just because hard hitting journalists don't like to be second?
> Your #1 is false. A single unreplicated study is much less meaningful than several successful replications, but it does have some meaning ...

Not to a scientist. Without replication, a single study is conjecture, interesting but weightless. Are you not aware that an unreplicated study is a standing joke among scientists? Why do you think the gag science journal is named the "Journal of Irreproducibe Results"? Scientists find the name funny because (a) it's an inside joke and (b) it's a truth about science that member of the public just don't get.

> That doesn't mean that a single study always has to provide its own replication

Then it's a good thing I never said that. But a single study has no standing until and unless a disinterested, independent laboratory succeeds in replicating it.

This issue is so critical to the future of psychology that, after a series of scandals about replication and credibility, a well-known figure in the field has made an emergency call to create replication circles among psychologists to (a) replicate each other's studies, and thereby try to (b) restore public confidence in the field. He says without a replication program, "I see a train wreck looming."

Quote: "For all these reasons, right or wrong, your field is now the poster child for doubts about the integrity of psychological research. Your problem is not with the few people who have actively challenged the validity of some priming results. It is with the much larger population of colleagues who in the past accepted your surprising results as facts when they were published. ... My reason for writing this letter is that I see a train wreck looming."

To see the importance of replication, all you need to do is read the scientific literature.

I concur absolutely with you - I am the worlds great sim fan, and I've lost countless thousands of hours watching my little guys (and gals) run around in Stronghold, Settlers 7, and Caesar 3. I also got a lot of fun in previous Sim City games.

The Latest SimCity got about 6 hours out of me, before I just went, "meah." - I didn't really get the same sense of progress, or emergent features, or ownership of the process and events that I get from other sims.

But - EA scammed me out of the $60 before I discovered that the game actually sucked, so - maybe it wasn't such a bad strategy on their part after all. But, with that said - this approach (hyping a game, limiting its playtesting, not providing extensive reviewer copies) - only works so many times before people start to get wise to your ways...
In many cases, companies cannot give explanations for such actions. Either because they'd be sharing private information, or because they'd be helping spammers/defrauders/... to figure out detection systems.
When I looked at the big hubbub about Yahoo's decision to end telecommuting, I couldn't help but think that Mayer was making the right decision by not commenting. She was hired to turn around a company in crisis, there were major problems, and she based her decision on data (seeing that many people who were supposed to work via VPN weren't even logging in according to their VPN records).

It was clearly a unique decision for a unique situation and not a comment on telecommuting in general, despite what all the screamers were screaming. Judging from various comments from alleged insiders, it was a good decision because many of the telecommuters were just loafers.

Fact is, who cares what the screamers were screaming? Would people boycott Yahoo's products because they ended telecommuting? This so cannot be compared to buying products made in sweatshops, which many people clearly did for years anyway (and still do). Would employees stop wanting to work at Yahoo? Apparently, job applications are way up, including what industry considers top tier candidates.

When you make the right decision, sometimes the best option is to stay quiet and let the truth come out naturally. Of course, OP is more about the strategy in general, not whether or not the truth comes out naturally (in fact, in OP, they cared not for truth). I'm just saying I felt throughout the whole Yahoo telecommuting thing, Mayer did the right thing. Screw the screamers. They had no idea what they were talking about and wouldn't affect Yahoo in any way anyway.

It is hilarious how clueless you are. Even if you take offense at his speculative registration of domain names, you can't criticize Jacques of lurking. Check the HN "Leaders" list . . . he's #4 on the list of all-time karma.

Jacques, I love reading your posts; they offer great insight into real entrepreneurship. Keep up the good work (including domain speculation)!
Same here: 36, never owned a car. I could easily afford it, but what puts me off is not the price or ecological considerations but simply the hassle of owning a hugely expensive machine that (from what I see with others) is breaking down or getting damaged and needs to be repaired all the damn time.

Of course it's only possible because I live in a city with excellent public transportation (Munich).

Well, just because you don't like it, why should everybody else not use it? If you don't like driving, then don't. And I don't mind more efficient public transport. But what is "steam engine machinery" for you is fascinating and a pure pleasure to use for somebody else. And to be honest, modern cars are easier to use than some kitchen appliances - don't need to insert a key anymore, press a button on the dashboard, you get two pedals, one to go faster,the other to go slower, and then turn the round spiny-thing to go in the direction you want to. Seriously, bicycles are more complicated to use than than.
Therefore Microsoft made a list of important programs that it knew would crash, and for those programs only gave them the old behavior. Many small companies did not make the list, and the result is that their programs wouldn't run after that upgrade.

In fact, I just ran across an old fax from one of the Windows 95 devs, telling me how they planned to patch Windows to work around a bug in my middleware library that didn't show up until people started running their apps in Windows 95 DOS boxes, and asking for my opinion.

That was a far cry from the "DOS isn't done 'til Lotus won't run" behavior that the company was previously known for, and also a long way from their later behavior with Vista ("They bought their tickets, let them crash.")
> Science has many parts, one large part is gathering observations without even trying to explain ...

Yes, and science requires microscopes and telescopes. But science isn't defined by microscopes and telescopes, it's defined by what scientists do with them. By themselves, these individual elements aren't science, because they don't lead to a falsifiable proposed explanation, the single essential element in the definition of science.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falsifiability

Quote: "Simply, to be scientific, a theory must predict at least some observation potentially refutable by observation."

> Quite often an explanation for a hypothesis is found long after the hypothesis itself has been proven correct ...

A hypothesis cannot be "proven correct". That's reserved to theories -- explanations that generalize observations and predict their relevance to phenomena not yet examined.

> "puerperal fever is a contagious disease (and washing hands helps prevent its transmission)" has been establishd long before the germ theory of disease was even formed.

Yes, and shaking a dried gourd over a cold sufferer will cure his cold. Isn't that science? -- it always works! If I visit 1000 cold sufferers and shake my gourd over them, every single one of them will get better if I shake the gourd long enough. So is my procedure science? No, it is not -- because I have not tried to explain why my method works, nor have I considered alternative explanations for my result.

The dried gourd example, and a thousand other examples of sloppy thinking, show that testable, falsifiable explanations are a requirement for science.
Did you use instance storage? EBS? Provisioned IOPS?

There are vast differences between those three.
Another difference, as an example, when the company I work for had some issues with the hosted mail from MS, my boss was able to get to a real, live person .. not left fluttering in the breeze as so often happens with google.

The handful of times I've had issues, I usually take to twitter, and it magically gets resolved within a day... I'm overly tethered to google at this point. via Andriod and Google Voice alone, it's been a difficult weekend with the issues GV seems to have had since Friday. I've recently cloned my dropbox to both google drive, and skydrive... which gives me a little security.

For the past two years, I've been using my gmail address more, and my own domain email less, because the gmail ui has been more convenient... without igoogle/reader I don't think that's as much the case, but if I lost my email (logins for other sites) I'd be boned... I recently had to re-enable a domain on my mail server just to change an old account on a site I needed to recover. Not cool/fun.
To be technically correct - the best kind of correct - the show has only been cancelled twice. In fact, to be even _more_ technically correct, it hasn't actually been cancelled, just not renewed.

People tend to confuse the times after the films where there were no new episodes to show and none in production with a cancellation, because the films themselves did not bring the show back to television. That's like saying Arrested Development is cancelled after the film is released, because no new film or television episodes has been ordered.

Pretty much.

All journalists don't like to be second, but most don't get a say (they work in quantity not quality).

Journalists need exclusives, just re-hashing an existing story doesn't offer a compelling reason to the reader to choose your news outlet.

So the top-tier outlets will only want to spend their column inches and reader attention on the stories that give a compelling reason for them to continue returning... that is, exclusive stories and additional depth into breaking news.
A better solution to that is graduated licensing where all new drivers start with restrictions on what times they can drive, at what speed, whether they can drive on highways, with friends of the same age in the car, etc.

You know, I somewhat think this is because fans distrust the fate of what will happen to futurama. However, if it were picked up by another party which produced smaller amounts and for quality, Futurama could continue forever. (I'm thinking mini-series 4-7 episodes a season).

I think the biggest problem tv-media is the hiatus, the blanks between seasons cause an eraser from the general public. If they good give a consist stream of content, fans would be much more in-tune with it, and less to forget about.
Ahhh yes - we all start out with the best of intentions, but I still somehow occasionally end up with what _I_ thought was prototype/demo code out there in production.

(I'm much more careful these days about either writing properly secured "demo code", or at least hard-coding non-routable ip addresses into it - with comments pointing out the lack of security right where someone would need to be looking to change those hard-coded addresses…)

There's a difference between not dreaming and not remembering your dreams. Everybody dream every night.

This is just speculation, but perhaps you sleep better on your side, so that you don't remember your dreams as easily? E.g. if you wake up several times a night, you will remember more dreams than if you don't wake up during the night.

(Of course I have to keep a backup of all the mail, but that's as easy as having some client download it.)
It's a stupid system. Technically only the social security administration itself is allowed to require an SSN. But most banks, companies, etc. do require an SSN from you, or else they put you through a ton of hassle. In practice almost everyone just gives his SSN, and the few who don't can be subjected to more scrutiny. SSNs are also reused after you die. After all, we don't want to run out of numbers, our nation's greatest resource.
In fact, I'd like it more if it was a compiled executable. A couple of weeks back I did something vaguely similar out of boredom on a sunday afternoon in C. It's quite simple, technologically speaking, but a lot of fun to play around with. Same here, it's not a great achievement but it's nice to look at. However, the whole fun originates in the responsiveness of the application and this being a browser implementation is horribly slow and unresponsive. Yes, we can do nice things on the browser today, but I have yet to see anything that ran fast enough to be useful while not eating all my CPU power in one big lump.

So, yes: I'd enjoy this a lot more if it was native code. And by the way, this is nowhere near a factor two of a compiled code implementation.

They had a Jihadist motivation like a metalhead has a Nazi motivation. Their father was a Russian anti-separatist enforcer and the older brother's act of rebellion was to act like a jihadi. And the younger brother thought that was cool.

I think that is a matter of expectation. In England (AFAIK), series aren't (necessarily) expected to be as continuous, nor even to run through the whole year. So, for instance, Doctor Who could "get away" with a specials-only year, between the 4th and 5th series.
It's not so much the novelty as the presentation that makes the difference, and I mean that as a positive thing.

Ignore the code/algorithm itself for a moment and look at everything else: we see the code first and the results underneath. It's inherently open-source and fairly accessible, because it's JS, and everyone is at least a little bit familiar with the language. Lastly, it can be tweaked and recompiled on the fly so playing with the code has never been easier. I don't recall actionscript working like that.

As far as I know, the closest other languages (that don't compile to JS) can come at the moment is something like the Go Playground, and in comparison the best it can do is a text-based Game of Life[1] or a non-interactive generated picture[2] (which can be combined to a graphical version of GoL I suppose). And even something as minimal as the Go Playground turns out to be pretty awesome when discussing bugs/ideas about Go on the internet, so even there it helps and I wish more languages had something like it.

Should Lifetime Customer Value (LCV) be Discounted?
This has always been a "problem" for Apple. And argument against their business model. That they were able time and time again prove to work. Because of the product/service/overall experience superiority to any and all competitors. You have 1000s of PC manufacturers and still Mac is better. Because they don't just assemble parts. They understand that the money in this business is in value added stuff, like user interface, like looks, like service, like uncompromising quality. Others seem to think that what they sell is just all about assembling together great hardware. Apple understands that there is more to it. That's where their value has always been and I don't think that this changed a bit with Samsung introducing S3 to the market. Samsung (and other smartphone manufacturers) is just an assembly plant. They may have better hardware in their smartphones, true. The same way you can build a "better" PC with better hardware than Mac Pro. The problem with this approach is that there is so much more to building great product than assembling parts. Customer service, software, user interface, looks, etc, etc. That's why S3 with better hardware in it sucks comapred to iPhone. Even though iPhone has smaller screen. The same way a PC with better hardware running on Win8 is worse than Mac Os X.

Again BMW is more profitable than Toyota. And Porsche is more profitable than BMW. Porsche makes on average $20k on each and every car sake they make in Europe. GM in Europe has a loss of nearly $2k on each car they sell. You tell me GM business model is somehow better? S3 is a commodity compared to iPhone and that's Samsung's problem not Apple's.
Apologies for replying without an answer, but I'd love to know this as well. Additionally, how/where is the hardware produced? I'd gladly pay twice this and more for full openness software/hardware/ethics-wise.
