Hey,

at http://Trak.io we can definitely handle that data volume, all data analysis is done retroactively and in realtime.

Note: However we don't automatically track any events, as we found most people were collecting a ton of garbage event data that they would never use. So you'll need to setup the events to be tracked at the beginning of the integration.

We don't have iOS or Android SDK's, but a raw REST http API (and JS) but we'd be open to discussing what we could sort out to win your business ;)

A/B tests: date vs. date cohort segmentation, event vs. event cohort segmentation, property vs. property segmentation. And groupby (breakdown by) view.

Trends

Linear funnels are in progress, but again for an app this size let's talk about what we could do.

The main way we differentiate ourselves from Mixpanel (and similar) is that we're trying to go for as simple interface as possible. Essentially, if analytics tools or reports are complicated, they just wont get used. So we're sticking to a very design-led product which may or may not suit you, depending on what exactly you're looking for.

Hey guys, staccatomeasure is a terrorist! Lynch him!!!

See how that works? Just because your government said it does not make it automatically true.
I'm not really sure what you're trying to say. Regardless, read your primary sources:

"[It is] easy for us to provoke and bait this administration. All that we have to do is to send two mujahidin to the furthest point east to raise a piece of cloth on which is written al-Qaeda, in order to make the generals race there and cause America to suffer human, economic, and political losses ... This is in addition to our having experience in using guerrilla warfare and the war of attrition to fight tyrannical superpowers, as we, alongside the mujahidin, bled Russia for 10 years, until it went bankrupt and was forced to withdraw in defeat." - OBL, 2004

So yes, it's very fair to suggest that his goal was to get Afganistan and Iraq invaded given that his formative years were spent, in his mind, bringing down the Soviet Union by provoking them into a protracted and costly battle in Afganistan. Al Queda is responsible for killing thousands of Arabs directly. It's no stretch to think that he didn't mind seeing a few million killed, like all sorts of utopian-totalitarian ideologues who preceded him, in the cause of bringing about 1000 years of utopia on earth through the establishment of a new Caliphate.

OBL was an intelligent man, like Hitler or Stalin were intelligent men. Ruthless, but almost impossibly warped in his views on why the present he lived in didn't fit his own fantasy.

"It is enough to know that the economy of all Arab countries is weaker than the economy of one country that had once been part of our world when we used to truly adhere to Islam. That country is the lost Al Andalus... No Muslim territory should ever become non-Muslim...Let the whole world know that we shall never accept the tragedy of Andalusia." - OBL, 2004

There's your motive if you're looking for one. Spain defeated the Muslim invaders who had conquered part of it 500 years ago and since it's now richer than the whole Muslim world put together it proves that... wait... what?
The domain name market is completely broken. It shouldn't be allowed to register a domain name if a legitimate business isn't going to use it. It's just a corrupt practice and I feel sorry for everyone who plays ball and shells out top-dollar for this things.

A very poor estimate.
> This guy's son was a bad enough dude that he got put on a terrorist kill list.

There is no oversight in this process, and even if there were that provides no justice for the innocent people at the cafe where the grandson was killed. This whole story disgusts me.
This is one of the reasons I ended up using the Mac app Movist (which was once open source, but later redone to be on the Mac App Store for $5). I actually mainly use this because of better shortcuts and because of its subtitle handling.

I would say it depends on the audience, maybe? EG cutting edge webapp for developers [app].io or .fm is probably fine.

>I think it's a mistake to imagine that it is a requirement that individuals in power with a megalomaniacal or fascist inclination is a necessary precondition for the creation of the sort of government which is functionally identical to a police state and which runs roughshod over any concept of individual liberty.

I have never claimed that.

>Indeed, I think such an idea is not only limiting but actively harmful, because in reality the destruction of our freedoms can quite easily take place at the hands of people operating on good intentions, with no great desire for power, and indeed with the personal perception of a great love of freedom.

Exactly, I agree 100%. Remember, each communistic state had "Democratic" in its name. The USSR Constitution was so liberal that it granted more freedoms than the US Constitution. You had freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of religion.

So, again, this reminds of this what the US Government does today. It is pursuing the total state fighting "war on terror" and this draws all the other laws irrelevant. Exactly, exactly again, like Nazi Germany or Soviet Russia where the point the Governments were making was: as soon as we get rid of this "threat of Jewery/Communism/burgoise", all the Constitutional laws will be put back in effect.

The Communists for sure thought of themselves of "good people" who had to do all these barbarian things to be able to live in a better world and society. The same goes to Nazis.

EDIT: reply to your EDIT reply so to speak:

No, no, no. I don't care about the label on the box. I care about the contents of the box. Namely: kill lists, torture, raping the Bill of Rights, human rights, like imprisonment without trail, killing citizens without trial, spying on all communications, wars, censorship, lies, etc. I could care less what -ism you put on the box.

Another thing is - how do you know really if Obama isn't a mass murderer? My God! Journalists are not allowed into war zones nowadays. The Government learned from Vietnam. Remember, most of the people governed by Stalin and Hitler thought of them as great leaders too who would never let any wrongdoings to happen. They were all shocked to learn about gulags or the camps. Some, still don't believe. Would you sign off drone attack on 16-year old child of a suspected terrorist. Obama did! Without a trial. Now, imagine the personality type.
Where is this guide?
> And they couldn't care less.

In general, making people believe that they are important seems to be a malicious but very effective trick. Everyone likes to be important.

Historically battlefields have occasionally been quite expansive, but generally one knew whether or not one's country was "at war" with another. This allowed people to plan and take actions accordingly, including political action.

Today the idea of war is increasingly omnipresent. It is never ending and all encompassing.

I wish there was a rule which freed up a domain as soon as it could be confirmed as having been bought for profit and nothing else.

Whilst I can get a squatted domain if they're sitting on my trademark, there are so many great company names which haven't happened because some bugger bought all the dictionary word combinations and runs ads and a GoDaddy auction link on them.

Goodness knows how you do that in a way which didn't require huge teams of people. It'd have to be automated. Anyone got any ideas?

I remember doing the math in my undergraduate physics studies. Air molecules actually do not move very far when a vibration (ie. sounds) goes through them. Amazingly, high frequency sounds move air back and forth only a few angstroms.

I can't find a link describing the calculation. This link talks about how the change in pressure is equivalent to "140 molecules for every million molecules"

You'd think they'd put together another team and make a separate frontend. I mean, surely they can build two web interfaces to the same backend storage servers, right? They should have plenty of programmers to throw at the problem.

The fact this hasn't happened probably says a lot about the situation, both technically and politically.
> Fires have never before or since destroyed a steel skyscraper.

Unless you replicate all the aspects of the event that statement is meaningless.

What other steel building has been hit by a 300 tonne aircraft, fully loaded with jet fuel and flying at full speed?

It is actually pretty easy to understand why these steel buildings fell.

All it takes is stock standard structural engineering modelling:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FfAYIaH-wE

Now this modelling involves a high level of maths, but we do know the modelling is correct.

Why?

Because that exact structural engineering modelling is used to put up these massive sky scrappers.

I take it you do you not accept the maths?

A response which includes fighting conventional wars is, I think, justified, but tossing our freedoms out the window is not and never will be "the only effective response" to terrorism.
Yeah, when you have nothing, attack the messenger with standard insult, tell people they are mad conspiracy theorists.

Trouble is, too many of these conspiracy theories turn out to be true. Just cast your mind back to the reactions of politicians when the rendition allegations first surfaced. Oh how they laughed and patronised. How they insulted and mocked. And then these same shameless filthy cowardly politicians came back to then justify their lies.

As for 9/11, I'm not sure any one knows the whole truth yet. Maybe we do, maybe those same politicians are telling the truth, but equally they themselves give us enough reason to doubt their word.
Please let it include DocBook.
Not trying to create a bubble of vacuum (though that was my old idea =).. then I realized what you lost gained by low density you paid for in high velocity).

Also, the idea here isn't involving high frequency sound.

Read closely. Abdulrahman al-Awlaki was killed in a separate drone strike, two weeks after his father's death. The real target of that second drone strike is currently unknown.
I like how you say "tin-foil hat aside", then go on to state with what seems to be complete seriousness that 9/11 was carried out by the U.S. against the U.S. using drone-controlled passenger airplanes.
Well, to be fair, the NULL check was in a wrong place. The pointer was already dereferenced before the check.

I always thought the fear of Lyme was exaggerated (though I'd learned to remove ticks carefully). But this spring, a niece got a really bad case of Lyme. Spent a long time in the hospital, and is still recovering. I don't know all the medical details, but I suspect she'll have to learn to live with aching joints for the rest of her life, which is hopefully a long time; she's 8.

Why would it not possible for a fire and/or an explosion to do exactly the same thing?

Because it would very likely tip over, or at least veer to one direction, instead of folding neatly into itself.

Did all the people in the building not see the dynamite strapped to the pillars?

What makes you assume dynamite?

Did they not see the 100s of meters of wires?

What makes you assume wires?

When did the guys that wired the build do the wiring?

Who knows? When did the dude who sucked at flying sports planes learn to fly a boeing so well? How did a passport of one of the attackers allegedly get found on the scene? If you want a conspiracy theory, try a bunch of guys taking down THREE high rises with TWO airplanes and a bunch of box cutters. Hah.

Was it during working hours or after hours?

How is that relevant?

How come no camera, person or security guard managed to see them?

Are you say it's not possible to deposit bags of C4 (etc.) with remote triggers in the right spots even just 10 minutes before impact, and safely get out? Or, to be alone in a room just enough to hide it in the ceiling or walls or wherever? I'm not saying it's easy, but it seems easier than even just flying a boeing so well without practical experience, or such a tall skyscraper folding neatly just by pure luck, and both of that happening twice on one day.
Doesn't it depend on the situation?

E.g., if you have a resistive load and an inductive power source, the power source will keep upping its voltage until the load accepts the current that's being shoved down its throat.
Eric,

Are you using the prod version of React? The dev version includes helpful debugging checks that consume a lot of CPU - (But don't worry, it will never show up in production builds).

I really like how you described React as "striking a balance". Here's how I think about that balance:

1. CPU time in React is an investment: What I've seen with large apps with complex css rules, is that the cost of performing even one additional style recalculation can cost upwards of 50ms - 75ms. If React invests an additional 10ms to find the absolute minimum number of DOM mutations and avoids even just one unnecessary style recalc, then we appreciate a great return on that investment.

2. If we run into a case where we're not seeing an outstanding return on that investment, we just use React's supported optimization hooks (shouldComponentUpdate).

3. React's API is unique in that it encourages optimizing for performance, but optimizing at the later stages of development, as opposed to the beginning stages. It's nice to develop rapidly and not let performance concerns interfere with the creative development process, while at the same time knowing that there is always a way to speed up the bottlenecks using the optimization hooks (if needed at all).
Better just kill everyone to be safe.

Yep I'm just a fan and minor contributor to Docker. Thought it was interesting to see a book so early but I do agree it's probably too early. Docker is changing fast. Version 0.5 should likely be out today.
I imagine something like this is going through the heads of many people:

Oh, an alarm is going off. Is this a drill? Must be, I don't see anyone running or anything on fire. No one is telling me that I have to leave, so I'll just stay right here and carry on with my business. I don't really want to go outside only to wait 15 minutes to half an hour until they tell me the alarm was an accident.

Solution: Have someone go to the fire panel, see where the alarm was set off, go to the place where the alarm was set off, verify there is an actual emergency, make a live announcement on the PA system telling people to exit the building.

At the minimum, telling people to exit the building, even if it's an automatic recording that plays when the alarm was set off, is the best way to get people to comply. Telling people to exit is much more powerful than a noise and having people decide for themselves whether or not to exit.

At least one person's been arrested for keeping track of and publicly reporting police movements. Guy in Brooklyn who aggregated information on police movements around Pittsburgh during a protest, and Tweeted them: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/10/04/elliot-madison-accu...

The charge seems to have been based on not the reporting itself, but a theory that he was conspiring with people committing crimes, like a lookout at a robbery. I wonder if it'd be on more solid ground if it were a website that just always updated with police movements, rather than only in connection with a specific event.
I think that's the median gross income of "workers" - people of working age, in the labour market.

It's crazy; almost all forms of broadcasting are made without any consideration of proper display. 4:3 TV shows from the 80s and 90s are cropped to 16:9 (which kills the resolution to abysmal levels); films on VOD services and TV are cut down from cinemascope to 16:9; black and white sources are colorized and made weird and ridiculous. why on earth would I ever want to pay for any of these services? Well, I don't. I don't watch TV anymore; I buy a couple of DVDs here and there, and that's about it.
Yes, fine, but: Saddam Hussein couldn't stand Al-Quaeda. So... what's up with that? I don't even care who did 9/11 and why, but I know how it was used. That alone is shameful enough -- with those kind of "friends" who the fuck needs enemies, right?

And? You thought the 9/11 commission report was good and conclusive? WTC7 just "imploded" due to "natural causes"? And of course destroying all the evidence pronto was the best way to investigate the crime?

I don't think a single word that comes out of the US (and UK) gov't is truthful. Why would they be truthful about 9/11?
Didn't it occur to you that posting a link to your (i'm sorry, but pretty arrogant sounding) blog post about how great you are on HN just isn't such a good idea?

What do you suppose the average reader should learn from your post? It is telling the story of an accomplishment you made without generalizing or implicating it could apply to others, it's just about you (and by the way, programming is more than just getting your head around problems, depending on your position it can even be more about architecture).

What you've done is analog to writing a good grade at school and running to your mother so she tells you how great you are. The only difference is that you gave the grade to yourself and now you go to HN and argue with people that disagree about it.

The only thing you accomplish with your behavior is that people think you are a little know-it-all who won't accomplish much and probably terrorize your surroundings with your incompetence and arrogance, regardless if it's true or not.

I'd suggest letting your work speak for itself. Build something great and the people will honor your work and acknowledge your competence (not always on HN but that's another story).

While it is called the 'sheep tick' around here, Ixodes ricinus has a number of hosts, including mice, deer and birds (eg black birds, robins) that contribute to the spread and maintenance of the species in forests and woodlands.
