If you have larger projects, agile project management methodologies have a good solution:

The Scrum method advocates keeping two backlogs - a product backlog and a sprint backlog; the sprint backlog is created by the team off the product backlog at the beginning of a fixed duration sprint (and adjusted by the team if needed), and the sprint backlog belongs to the team, and can't be changed by the business / users (instead, new issues go to the product owner, who can add them to the product backlog for them to get picked up at future sprints). The team is supposed to produce something that is 'complete' for some definition of complete at the end of each sprint.

Because sprints are fixed in time (maximum of one month) and have finite scope (whatever items on the product backlog the team are able to take to completion), each sprint delivers iterative forward progress towards the long term full set of requirements, and even if the project runs out of money after a few sprints, the most important requirements will have been met. The product owner still gets to prioritise a backlog (the product backlog) according to business and user requirements.

Source SDK 2013 Release - Github
you may want to consider using hnsearch.
Many of us long-time Firefox users have actually found the past three years to be the worst so far, in terms of design.

The rush to copy Chrome in appearance and behavior has essentially ruined what was a decent experience before. What's worse is that the design changes haven't actually brought any benefits, either. And to make it even worse, there has been nothing to suggest that things will actually improve any time soon.

Firefox's declining market share over this period is very good evidence that people are not happy with it. It initially became popular because it provided a better experience than other browsers; now it's declining because it's providing a worse experience, and the recent changes clearly haven't been helping the situation.
"The source for this new SDK release includes the latest code for all the included games, and has many new features:

•	The games now build and run clients on Windows, OSX, and Linux. Dedicated servers are supported on Windows and Linux.

•	Steam Pipe (the new Steam content delivery system) is supported by the sample mods. Existing mods can change their gameinfo.txt to match the new format and gain Steam Pipe support.

•	Support for Virtual Reality via the Oculus Rift has been added to the SDK. Running a compatible mod with -vr on the command line will run the mod in stereo and enable head tracking on the Rift."

It's not like having DRM is really stopping piracy, especially in Netflix's case. For example their new original series of House of Cards and season 4 of Arrested Development were both pirated (I assume using some kind of desktop screen recorder?) and posted online within days of their netflix release. So the use of DRM did not stop people from pirating their content, in only prevented potential customers on other systems, like Linux, from legally purchasing their content.
Maybe, but quite a few stuff (enough to implement DRM) is different.
I have been collaborating with 2 IIT grads, one Mumbai, one Calcutta. Holy cow, these guys are mot-ti-vated! They may not always be the inherent smartest guys, but man they can pack in the hours. I know that working smart is better than working hard but they sure as snot can work hard. Here in the US, I think we have an ok balance of the work and sports and school aspects. There in India, if your name gets published in the local newspaper next to your score, you can bet things look a bit different.

Not much to say, other than that those kids are gunning hard for a middle class life and legacy.
That's obvious since the email header and body are in the same document. Presumably what's going on is they capture all emails, process them to strip off the body, and then make the headers available to the analysis systems. They can then go back and retrieve the body of any email that interests them. One of the points that critics have been making is that analysts can make the decision to retrieve the content on their own without a court order, so this whole metadata safeguard isn't much of a protection at all.

I thought it was extremely clear that they are selling their image instead of just saying:

"So, we've got this wiki-ish kind page but when you click on a link you get this modal popup thing where stuff is explained to you instead of visiting a new page."

They know they are selling their name and image and they do it full-force.

> If the NY Times wrote an article claiming that Sergey Brin dumped raw sewage from his yacht, the responses would be based upon the assumption of accuracy of that story.

You should not assume the news is accurate. Read the news for entertainment, not facts.

In EVERY single case where I have been involved in something that later got on the news it was reported incorrectly. Every single time.

The news is not accurate because they don't care about that. They care about being interesting, and that's how you should read it.

It gets really sad when wikipedia editors force incorrect information to stay in an article because a news source said so. Even when it's wrong.

People should be taught from a young age: "The majority of what you hear and learn will be wrong."

Students cite EU data protection laws, challenge firms over NSA data transfers
That's where the "minimization" documents from last week come in. They actually collect everything, but then there is some kind of filter at the collection point that is supposed to remove any communication that they are certain is american-to-american. But that filter also has exceptions for things like encrypted messages or pretty much anything else they are interested in. They make the filter as loose as they can while still being able to maintain some deniability that they don't collect domestic communication.
Actually, I recently started using Firefox again precisely because of the recent design changes. I love the way the new UI looks and feels. They've also worked out a lot of the technical issues, such as high memory use.

This makes sense. I would imagine, a prism would create a more noticeable loss of signal at the other end too since I'm guessing a splice is involved, whereas a passive leak would be less detectable.

Those responding to shit, pay close attention to my original quip towards dinosaur content-providers and "Hollywood execs" here. What Netflix wants or not is largely irrelevant; I can't say for sure they would ever consider running their service without some sort of DRM or downloading deterrents. It is clear to me they want to provide a more sane service than other offerings, allowing me to watch what I want without being hamstrung by a DVR, multi-month contracts, and holding back episodes to be played one week at a time and having to hold a subscription for 3-4 months to catch the whole season, or only providing the last 5 episodes and being screwed if I start a season when the 7th episode is airing.

With all that MPAA and the like have done to this industry, I can't fathom Netflix getting to serve much content and for very long if they can't guarantee a strong protection over the content. Obviously there are always ways to circumvent the steps taken, so long as the GPU stream is pipeable.

Yeah, but not everyone is having a warrant served against them. It's obviously ridiculous, just like charging his mother with obstruction is, but you kind of have to marvel at the prosecutor's deviousness in charging him for something that would have been innocuous if they weren't charging him for something else.
It's not that PG has a grudge against Google (or vice versa) or anything like that. I believe that search engine bots crawl Hacker News hard enough that PG blocks most crawling by bots. In the case of Google, he does allow us to crawl from some IP addresses, but it's true that Google isn't able to crawl/index every page on Hacker News.

Here's a link where I answered the same question about three weeks ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5837004 , so this isn't a new issue. In fact, PG has been blocking various bots since 2011 or so; https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3277661 is one of the original discussions about this.

And to show this isn't a Google-specific issue, note that Bing's #1 result for the search [hacker news] is a completely different site, thehackernews.com: http://www.bing.com/search?q=hacker+news

In general, I think PG's priority is to have a useful, interesting site for hackers. That takes precedence and is the reason why I believe PG blocks most bots: so that crawling doesn't overload the site.

The irony!

He could have stuck with filesharing and useful (albeit controversial) technology, but he had to chase after pure hype companies aimed at internet noobs, like Facebook. As any resectable geek knows, FB offered us nothing we could not do before using the usual communication tools. There's never been any reason we have to pass all our private details and communications through Zuckerberg's website. He called users "dumb fucks" for doing so. That fact has not changed. He still treats users as dumb.

Parker relishes his celebrity and all his new high profile friends. Facebook made him something he was not before: able to afford a lavish wedding. And now he's complaining.

"Live by the sword die by the sword."

As he said, he's profited handsomely.

But he's right: there's a purpose behind privacy. And he's learning that the hard way.

So, Mr. Parker, put your money where your mouth is: dump some millions into startups that are the antithesis of Facebook. Let's chase privacy instead of celebrity.
"... at an even higher price" is perhaps unclear; I presume he meant "... at an even higher valuation". That is, the total percentage of the stock you have to sell to the investor to raise the money is less if you raise in two stages than if you get it all up front.

There's an assumption here: that you actually manage to make demonstrable progress in the business between the first and second round. If you think it's going to take longer to show progress than the amount of time $2M will give you, then you should raise more to start with.

This is pretty light on the details. I also use Nginx + uWSGI in front of an API that shakes up a lot of network IO behind it, and it has had a few headaches. On FreeBSD it ignores the die-on-term option, making it a pain to use in conjunction with service managers that rely on SIGTERM like daemontools. It's good that in your example you include the need-app option, as it will happily start up without being able to load anything otherwise. I'm curious what the intended default use case is, of mostly just wanting the server up - oh, and if you manage to load my app that would be ok I guess but don't sweat it! :P I disagree with a few choices in how it load balances, and tuning the backlog has proven futile with my setup. But yeah, it's lightyears ahead of mod_wsgi.

If you're a control freak who bases engineering decisions primarily on flexibility (and are bound to python/WSGI) why not use Mongrel 2 with a simple python backend instead? You can escape having to shoehorn your code into a gevent/gunicorn/uwsgi/whatever container if it causes headaches to do so. Here's a teaching example for how to play with mongrel 2 from python (feel free to change it into something that would work for you) https://github.com/tizr/belasitsa/blob/master/belasitsa.py

TL;DR:

Summary Points

- The wedding site was chosen because it had been previously developed,
so there was no environmental impact. The site was not public
property, it was a private, for-profit, campground, which was mostly
paved in asphalt and or cleared of all foliage. Development only
occurred in cleared dirt and asphalt areas.

- The natural environment was not harmed, despite widespread claims to
the contrary. There was no harm done to redwood trees, other plants,
or animals. There were no endangered species on or near the property.

- We were conscientious about protecting the environment, locating the
site with the help of Save the Redwoods League and soliciting advice
about how to avoid harming the redwood habitat.

- Hundreds of articles were written in the days following the wedding,
yet only one reporter contacted us for comment. Most of the
information contained in these articles was erroneous. No original
reporting was done, no interviews were conducted, and no fact
checking occurred.

- We voluntarily agreed to cover $1 million in penalties related to the
Ventana’s lack of development permits and past violations. We also
volunteered to contribute $1.5 million in charitable contributions
serving the coastal region of the Monterey Peninsula.

As a visitor to the US I noticed a version of this in small ways - shops selling things cheap to servicemen/woman, statements praising the military on buildings, headlines about military gains in papers, people in uniform all over the place etc. If I didn't know better I'd have assumed America was defending itself against a perilous onslaught.
Incognito windows don't block cookies, they just sandbox them from the rest of your cookies and are deleted when you close the Incognito windows, so the behavior you describe isn't too surprising.

But what does that have to do with Chrome's search/history? If I use Chrome's search bar to search using StartPage there's no way for Google to know my searches or even the fact that I'm using StartPage.

I'm just saying you can get the same behavior as DDG's shortcuts with Chrome without using Google at all.
