This is why we don't track the Bing It On challenge itself and instead do lab studies; on the website, it is fairly easy to game if you're trying to. Though every once in awhile, having seen it a million times, I'm still wrong about which one I think is which, particularly since Google changed their results to look more like ours.

(Note: I work for Bing.)
You forgot Philly.

It's cool. 5th largest city in the country and everything, but you know, whatever.
It is getting increasingly hard to do an apples-to-apples comparison (social sidebar, snapshot, etc.). The best we can do is try to narrow down to just the web results, for the moment.

(Note: I work for Bing.)
I started reading slashdot in like 99.. the editors didn't 'edit' the stories back then either. In fact, as far back as I can remember people have been complaining about the editors no longer doing their jobs.. which is weird because as far as I could tell, they never did them to begin with.
> I added an update to the article looking at what happens when you vary the average car length (corresponding to the % of trucks on the road), fwiw.

That's silly, at most reasonable traffic flow-rates the difference in a couple of feet between a short car and a long car (esp with how uncommon the outliers are) is insignificant compared to the constant overhead of the per-car padding. And below reasonable traffic flow you're already at a high enough density to cause catastrophic traffic speeds.

This concept of 'JS all the way down' is what hooked me on Titanium Mobile (crossplatform app framework) as soon as I started using it. It's a much lighter cognitive load, since I'm not constantly switching between varied featuresets and syntax of templates/HTML/CSS/JS.

One of my favorite features, is that any piece of the app can instantly become a reusable, extendable module for another app. Since it's 'just JS' it always ports. In this way I share UI widgets between web apps and mobile apps.

Generated CSS and HTML should be syntactically perfect, and JS has much better error handling than either CSS or HTML. With those traits, the resulting code can be better than a human could write on their own.

The concept of JSON syntax for DOM creation has been around a long time -- HAML, JsonML, jQuery... And although the JS syntax can be verbose, CoffeeScript object notation is available, and quite similar to HAML and SASS.

I hope we see a lot more of this.

Also as a side note I just started reading (yesterday) "LL Bean: The Making of an American Icon" by Leon Gorman grandson of LL Bean and former president of the company. It is a fascinating read on the ups and downs of a 100 year 4th generation family run business. It sounds like something you might find relevant to your business.

My library has overdrive as well, and I get the books on the kindle (app). There's an option to read on their site, but the software sucks compared to the dedicated reader. I think they also do adobe's epub as well.
Yes, that probably would improve things. I could totally see that working if we had electronic (or other quickly reconfigurable) lane markings.
The site could use a better example. I understand what it does but I'm left wondering what problem this addresses.
How much time was involved in building this setup? Just curious.

Whilst I agree that Nokia and Blackberry were disrupted by Android, not the iPhone, Apple is gaining customers everywhere. 'Marketshare' is a flawed concept because it assumes a unified market of undifferentiated customers. Apple is simply not in the market of commodity devices. It never had any of that market to lose. Claiming that apple is losing those customers is clearly incorrect.

If the story does unfold as it did with Mac/Windows, Apple will again be the clear winner, just as they are in the PC market.
Ummm, not in my experience.
The separation is definitely still a good thing -- OJ isn't trying to break it! The only difference is now some of that separation can be done in code. Think separate functions or js files. One that creates the site and one that styles it. The separation doesn't have to be a completely separate format, it turns out functions are quite good at abstraction=)

That said almost every example on the site is just creating HTML and JS (not CSS), so it would be very easy for you to use OJ to create everything and then style everything with .css files like you always have. So use it however you want, but please don't think it is trying to force markup and formatting together!
Good idea!

Nitpick: The Read More section on the right seems a bit of a misfit for a product that seems to take away distraction. I found it irrelevant and distracting.

So you reject the posibility with the argument that the space is big? the vastness of space says nothing about life density or travel capabilities of advanced civilations also we know so little about the structure of the universe.

But I don't understand the ridicule and lack of arguments, I fell like I'm in 1400 saying that the earth is round.

Also why the hate and downvotes?
That is a question you should be asking when you decide to post bounties. It is not a question you should be forced to ask after someone goes and finds vulnerabilities all on their own without your knowledge and then comes to you and asks for payment unbidden. That is called extortion.
>The strange thing is that millions have the same thing in their minds, could this be a collective mental illness? but why do all of them report the same things and have the same details?

First, I don't know that it's necessarily true that "millions" of people have experienced this. But let me offer some evidence that at least to some degree this phenomenon whatever it is doesn't represent objective truth.

There was a point when the majority of UFO sightings comprised of airships and not what we would recognize as spacecraft. It's telling that this occurred at a time when there was no popular archetype of what qualities a spaceship might have to have. The denizens of these craft were described as basically human looking, and some claimed to be from Mars (at a time when the possibility of intelligent life on Mars was commonly accepted as possibility.)

One would expect an alien spacecraft to have some properties which are, well alien but all the descriptions i've seen and heard about don't often describe technology at a level far beyond the understanding of the time. Until it was scientifically proven impossible, many "aliens" appeared to be humans claiming to come from Mars or Venus.

Prior to this, many of the phenomena associated now with alien abduction was associated with demonic possession. There were no spaceships or airships, but plenty of hoary beast-men in the woods and wicked things convincing wizards to swap wives with each other.

My point being, the nature of this phenomenon never seems to rise above or to give information beyond what could be generated in the imagination of a single human being, and it seems to evolve as popular culture evolves. now we have to deal with the post-Lazar post-Roswell Post-Ancient Aliens/X-Files world of self-aware media irony in which it's claimed these aliens are responsible for practically every event and are behind every government and have portals everywhere and secret bases and yet despite the media and camera saturation... still nothing but mythology to account for any of it.

Now you could say the demons were aliens, and the airship captains were just taking on an appearance which we could comprehend. But again, while that makes for an internally consistent narrative, it doesn't really prove anything. The face on mars turned out to be a trick of the light, and i'm sitting here near the end of 2013, and it turns out the Mayans didn't know shit about the future after all.

meanwhile we do know there are such things as hallucinations, and hoaxes, and sleep paralysis, and any number of physiological and psychological phenomena to account for much if not all of the alien abduction scenario. What we don't have is strong, credible, independently verifiable publically credible evidence that aliens are abducting anyone. I'll tell you what it would look like - something undeniable and irrefutably alien. Not stories. Not weird lights someone's brother's cousin once heard someone saw one time. When they crash their saucer into the White House i'll maybe consider it. Until then, it's just faeries in the garden with updated costumes as far as i'm concerned.
Launched products are disruptive when they start taking over functionality that other products were once doing. Google Glass is, for now, a publicity vehicle to show that Google is forward thinking.

Only when the product is launched will we learn whether it is disruptive.

We're looking for developers with a strong history of building scalable platforms while leveraging new technologies, languages and frameworks. In particular, we are looking for coders who are just as comfortable building complex backend services as they are building elegant user interfaces.

Languages and technologies we like to build with include: Python, Ruby, the JVM, Node.js, Rails, Django, Redis, etc… We're big fans of using the best tool for each project.
From the article:

While BlackBerry was guided to omit consumer features from its enterprise buyers, Nokia never secured enterprise buyers of any significance

I wonder if BlackBerry would've prospered by doubling down on enterprise buyers, maintaining their keyboards, and ignoring the consumer market. From what I can tell, BlackBerry haphazardly attacked the consumer market where Apple was the strongest.

Your link says: There are some circumstances under which individuals who participate in “for-profit” private sector internships or training programs may do so without compensation.

Which is directly contrary to the point you cite it to support.
That is a good way to think about it. As programmers we are used to objects that give us methods and properties to change them. A Form object should have a submit function, a Table object have a addRow, removeRow function. OJ does this for the web.

I just ran the crawler and see one mapped to Portland. There are two more if you use full text filter (currently I'm storing only location per post).
I just looked at my comments and submissions for the last year. 12 comments and zero submissions. Before, I'd punch out 12 comments in a day.

The problem started with the lateness of the submissions...easily trailing other sites by days at times. I quit posting submissions because they'd never show up, despite being fairly interesting topics on other sites.

Then the quality of the comments started going downhill, largely a product of the overall malaise that fell over the site brought about by the rather mentally torpid powers-that-be that ran the site.
In my opinion, this is exactly what they should have done. They should have focused on providing value to businesses that the iPhone couldn't, and then incessantly emphasized those features to their enterprise customers.
MySQL prevents you from writing good SQL..

If you have a nice normalized schema, you will need to do joins, sometimes involving multiple tables and joining to sub selects. With MySQL, this is just a disaster, so you can't have a nice normalized schema, or if you do, you have to stash data in a denormalized way somewhere.
I mean, that's nice and all. But Slashdot, in design terms, has been locked in the past for so long without incremental design updates - it's likely that anything more than very simple cosmetics would be perceived as a radical change (much like this).

If Slashdot would have been doing incremental design changes like Reddit, then possibly this beta wouldn't look "unlike" Slashdot. It's just that they are attempting to radically catch up or risk being left a relic of Web 1.0 forever.

Slashdot's previous design changes have always, for me, made the experience worse, not better - so I for one appreciate this new direction and welcome our new /. design overlords.
> For the record, I am "that guy" who runs all the way down to the end of the closed lane before merging over. Except I don't consider it an asshole move because as OP points out, I'm making the best use of the road ahead (while allowing fewer people to merge ahead of me)

Asshole move? I don't understand. I don't live in the US, but here it is encouraged to act like this! It's called a zipper merge. I remember public messages on the TV encouraging this behaviour, and there's road signs near merging lanes.

What's so asshole about this?
One day you walk outside and you notice your neighbor left his keys on top of his car.

You knock on his door and let him know, he says "wow thanks for the heads up, I'll buy you a beer sometime"

You think to yourself, "A beer?? I just saved his car from being stolen-- that's worth a lot more than a beer"

A week later you walk outside and see he did it again. Instead of knocking on his door, you walk into the alley and tell a local criminal about it in exchange for 500 dollars.

This is essentially what you're advocating.

One view on cost of the current shutdown (Box2D web viz)
One of Blackberry's key barriers to innovation was that they were unwilling to cannibalize their existing revenue. It was quite substantial revenue, so I would understand the beancounters' reticence.

To connect a Blackberry to your own mail server, you needed expensive software and the enterprise level of network service. While BB did start to offer consumer data plans, you could not use them with your own mail server. When the iPhone came to Canada, I did the math and traded the blackberry for an iPhone.
the reddit stack is open source (beyond their secret sauce anti-spam stuff) so you can easily run run your own reddit clone already.
I don't think it's the treatment one way or the other of those that write C# code. I think it's just the Microsoft Bubble at work. I think there are just fewer .NET developers here than the other ecosystems.

I personally shy away from .NET shops because they seem to be such a mono-culture.

Actually, Bing is working better outside the US than it has previously and we continue to make heavy investments in other markets. But you're correct, Bing It On only exists in the US and China at the moment.

(Note: I work for Bing.)
Have you blocked through traffic? Only if the number of cars per second drops. Also as there's going to be a queue of, say 1000 cars behind the merge point, it's better than the queue doesn't extend backwards into some other area of traffic, causing people who are turning off before the merge point to become involved in the slow traffic
Using a forwarded message example makes the header-removal behavior non-obvious.

This is a single-serving posterous. " a link to your email" is confusing. This is turning my message into a webpage.
It's a way to generate a link to an email. It can be used, for example, in social networks, where you might want to share an email with your twitter followers.

I'll try to put a video later.
Your post skipped my pattern because it matches for "Seattle, WA", not "SEATTLE, WA".
I am saying people scoff at the idea because space is big. Come back with actual evidence and the off the cuff dismissal will stop. (though even then, expect some resistance since UFOists have been crying wolf so often)

As opposed to the old commenting system? If slashdot would have just stayed with the original commenting system (which didn't look much unlike HN), they would have likely stayed relevant. I don't think this beta does any more harm than previous design efforts.

You're right. As a result, white-hats should spend zero time with Yahoo (as the company in the article has indicated they will). The result of that is that only black-hats will be finding Yahoo vulnerabilities. Not a good end result.

What should happen is that Yahoo should have bounties in the first instance. They don't have to, but not having them leads to a bad outcome for everyone except black-hats.
