Ask people who have money and problems what their problems are. Solve their problems. Charge money for it.

Same here, I hate their "iPaper" Flash applet as well. If you're using Firefox, you can remove Google search results by URL with the CustomizeGoogle extension (http://www.customizegoogle.com/). Go to the "Filter" section of its configuration to do so.

It also has many other useful Google tweaks, like removal of text ads and click tracking.
I agree there is such a large revenue base because you can be scammed relatively easy into subscribing by phone... it should not be this easy there should be a terms of service or a signup that you have to agree to. It is the phone companies fault in my opinion and there should be options to disable it, especially since younger children are very susceptible to this thing like text ##### to get a free ringtone of your favorite artist then in impossible to read text there is a 9.95 subscription included.

Most of mine are .com.au or .net.au (e.g., body.net.au, industry.net.au, rating.com.au, lends.com.au, knows.com.au, etc), but I have three .coms I have never got around to using:

twitcorps.com
Plan was for a register of businesses using Twitter, categorised by how they were using it and how well they were using it. It would be a way for newcomers to get ideas on how their businesses could give it a crack.

topictwits.com
The idea was basically wefollow.com, but then that got released and so I forgot about it.

popslide.com
First idea was for people to email a bunch of photos and get back a URL pointing to a quick, thumbnailed gallery. Like what Posterous does, but for one-offs. Second idea was for something similar, but you'd email a sequence of statements and you'd get back a URL pointing to an animated Flash presentation (a la Powerpoint) that you could tweak and style later.
I've been holding on to irtue.com/irtue.net. It's supposed to mean "I refuse to use Evite".
Zapfino is the most immediate counter that comes to mind. Monaco was for decades the best monospaced font going. My Mac has Futura on it (a fantastically influential and important font that I happen to dislike aesthetically a great deal), Gill Sans (probably the best sans serif body font), Hoefler Text (gorgeous), Optima and Palatino, for starters.

You don't need to commission new fonts if you have the good taste to buy the distribution rights for excellent existing fonts.

The one place where the functools.partial failed me was in partialing on class methods. functools.partial actually gives you a callable class, instead of the functional closure that this example gives you (though I don't really consider this to be that great of an example). When a class is instantiated, the method functions (unbound methods) are turned into bound methods, something a class can't be. Guido talks about this a bit whole process here... http://python-history.blogspot.com/2009/02/first-class-every...
The basic premise here is "focus on the iPhone, not on being a generic mobile app" (and "test" which is sort of a "duh point")

Almost a year ago there was a post saying Apple was making a mistake by not focusing on Java development for the iPhone SDK. I responded (here if you're curious: http://www.tomstechblog.com/post/Objective-C-Savior-of-the-i...) by saying Objective-C made developers focus on the iPhone exclusively which would result in better apps.

Articles like this make me think history has backed me up. There are a few low quality apps starting to sneak in to the app store but I still think by and large iPhone apps are of a far higher quality than your average java based mobile app.
I've actually seen my share of this type of spam as well. Lucky for us all of it came through Indian IPs, while our users were all from the US.

They are really getting creative. They WILL post several messages to "gain your trust" before they throw in a link. I can't believe all this effort is really worth it for whomever is sponsoring this "human spam".
If you don't want to tell me anything about why you want an extension, you have to accept the fact that the probability distribution over "I want an extension" absent any information is heavily weighted toward "I went on a bender and am too stupid to stay in school", and as such I was unlikely to say yes. I don't want details details; but "I broke my leg, this, this and this is going to be a week late, I'm sorry" as happened to a friend of mine is perfectly good.
Well, I wouldn't recommend it. A bad sleep hygiene in pre- and adolescent kids (especially pre-) is known to associate with obesity, hypertension and diabetes - there is quite a great deal of literature on that.

At your age your sleep pattern is already pretty much messed up by itself (you may already find yourself working late at night and having big sleep inertia in the morning) and I wouldn't complicate things any further.

There was a kid exactly your age who in 1964 decided to establish the world record for sleep deprivation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Gardner_(record_holder)
He went on for 11 days and he was supported by a physician all the time. This was back in the days when we still didn't know sleep deprivation was lethal in rats.

I was thinking more along the lines of an aide to existing human moderators. If you start with a clean slate for each particular website and then use the moderation queue information to slowly train the system. Maybe, just maybe that would be enough.

If not, then why not take the context into account as well? Context based troll filter. Whenever a troll posts something there is usually a resulting discussing with a healthy dose of profanity. We can all just glance at such messages and say with complete certainty that it brings no value, certainly that means there are existing patterns.
That is one of the things I meant by "I think there are always going to be illusions in the way of this "help""

PaperG: The right local ad solution for struggling newspapers?
I don't think anybody ever looked at that. To be honest I don't even think there are so many studies on polyphasic sleep, tout-court. There's quite a lot of literature on people doing work shift, though, and we know they have plenty of troubles.

As far as the memory part: the link you talk about (declarative NREM vs procedural REM) is very intriguing and many researchers are looking into sleep and memory in general. Yet, we are not at a stage where we can actually make so clear distinction: most work is still very very correlative.
mmm, I am sorry but I am not sure I got the question. Would you like to reformulate?
The point is that the censorship software is mandated in every sold PC in China. If it is so vulnerable and user's machine so eaisly to be taken control of, considering China's population, thounds and thounds PCs may be turned into hacking proxies.
Free Anonymous BitTorrent Becomes Reality With BitBlinder
I put on my two excess domains, and I tried to put in that I'd give them away for a $10 donation to a worthy non-profit. (Some guy in the domain swap thread asked for the same, and I thought it was a good idea.)

Instead, it converted that to $0. Maybe have a comment field?

Also, how can I edit listings after the fact?

Edit: http://mailhide.recaptcha.net/ is pretty good for protecting emails from getting harvested.
Another thought: put a better title on this news item, please.
The site looks like a parked domain/spam. I navigated away the first time I loaded the page.

You might want to differentiate the design a bit (not sure how).
How does one get a sample of their own intestinal tissue? Seems pretty advanced even for an AP course.
Actually, I thought it was good question to ask, certainly better than the dozens of "review my startup" posts I frequently see here.
The only fonts in that list that Apple commissioned are Monaco and Hoefler Text, both from more than ten years ago.

I'm not complaining that Apple ships with a poor selection of fonts. I'm complaining that despite the heritage, they don't appear to be innovating with typography at all anymore. Microsoft is simply crushing them on this front.
I've seen the IQ test many months ago. I'm surprised that it took so long for Facebook to ban the ad network. They do have an army of people looking for obscene photographs.

It is, but a 3 or 4 word description along with it would be nice.

I sell words for money, but I have never made anyone reading my material look at ads.
The search function could stand to give more results. It said 'rivetinggames' in the little list oin the side so I typed in rivet and got nothing. I typed in 'rivetinggames' and got it. What if I would looking for a domain with the word 'money' in to the title? I'd like to be able to type in 'money' and see all the possiblities.

That's just remarkable. I've always wondered if one could get objective information from a psychedelic experience, but most of the time, the stuff you bring back makes no sense once sober. I guess the dosage is very important, you want just enough to get enhanced senses...

But, apparently if you do it too well, folks will make false bids just to be part of the story. No way is anyone paying $350 for a crappy old washer (when a midrange new one sells for that or less).

Netbooks: Small but disruptive
Hyrban: The Open-Source Hydrogen Car
There were also a couple changes since then. IIRC the most significant are that ontable is gone (each expanded to take its place) and that you can call readc etc with no arg (and read from stdin).
The legal consequences of this (in China) are frightening. Imagine a malicious site that uses this vulnerability to download child porn onto the target computer, and then reports the user to The Authorities. Many lives could easily be ruined, as I imagine China does not provide many rights for the accused. (This will probably get you into trouble in the US, too, which is why I make sure all my filesystems are encrypted.)

Perhaps more interesting is that mzscheme changed a core language feature (mutable cons cells) without providing any backcompat.
I don't really think that captures what I was saying in the article. This quote is a little more representative of the overall message:

"On the job, the goal is to solve problems and get things done using any tool at your disposal. At the interview, the goal is to demonstrate why they should hire you instead of one of the other candidates who also have access to Google... A job interview is a competition, not a pass-fail test"

As for the comment that I am going to assume all kinds of things. Of course I am and so will other managers. We are all human and make assumptions all the time, often subconsciously. My point was just that it is in the candidate's best interest to recognize what you may be communicating by deferring to Google.

Getting mad about it doesn't help you get the job, so there is no sense in that. The intent of the article was to HELP candidates put their best foot forward with the benefit of some inside information from the other side of the interview table.
It's a different kind of work. I've purchased several typefaces with beautiful letterforms that are useless for coding on my mac because they are not hinted or hinted poorly. A couple more have really bad metrics that the "height"/"width" sliders can't really compensate for in the terminal.
Capital Alchemy: Make Fixed Costs Variable
I think you might want to re-read the article because you seem to be mischaracterizing the point. That point is: Yes Google is a critical tool to do your job, but it doesn't differentiate you from other candidates when interviewing so it is a worthless answer in that context.
This will probably get you into trouble in the US, too, which is why I make sure all my filesystems are encrypted.

That's exactly what happened to this guy and he got off: http://news.cnet.com/8301-10784_3-9970660-7.html

I don't doubt that there's a sizable chance of getting convicted anyway, but I really hope it's not "probable".
Apparently the MPAA and RIAA never watched Star Wars:

"The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers."

(And yes, I know that Star Wars is not the original source of this sentiment.)

The most amusing part about all of this is that the MPAA and RIAA "crackdown" and prosecution of file sharers has forced them to develop technology that is nearly impossible to monitor. Terrorists and child pornographers (+) are infinitely grateful. If nobody got sued for downloading albums, this would probably have not been necessary. Ah, corporations and governments... always thinking about society's best interests...

(+) Yes, I chose these two so that I could sound like a politician. jrockway for President.
The biggest problem with using LSD in such a way is that the dosage is incredibly small even when full-blown tripping. It'd be very, very difficult to get a small, measured amount from anything you get off the street. I guess you could do it from a sugarcube, but good luck. I guess it's not all bad, though; even if you don't hit your goal, you'll get a good time out of it.
Go ahead and pretend a job interview is not a competition. I hope that works out for you.

Also, you seem to imply that I favor asking questions unrelated to the job when my article says exactly the opposite, that I despise those questions and only resort to them when I have two candidates who are running neck and neck and I need a tiebreaker.
Yeah, that was a pretty dramatic move. It means MzScheme is no longer an implementation of the Scheme standard.

The latest standard, R6RS, goes no further than grumbling about mutable pairs and raising the possibility of deprecating them in the future:

The encryption ensures that you avoid charges in the first place.

My imagined dialogue: "We're here to seize your hard drive to see if you are doing anything illegal." "OK." "Damn, it's encrypted, tell us your password." "I refuse to testify against myself." "Uh, you have to." "I forgot the password." "Fuck."

The fishing expedition then ends fairly quickly. (If you really are distributing child porn, though, they will probably get you some other way. This is exactly how the system should work.)

(You might want to have a "honeypot" that can be activated with a certain password so that you don't even have to claim you forgot the password. This could be helpful for avoiding "contempt of court". IMHO, this should not be necessary, but I Am Not The Supreme Court.)
"Would you use this classifieds service for domain names?" sounds about right
You should be thinking about SEO (at least partially) with any content-driven site you launch.

There is also much more to SEO than just friendly titles and URLs, but that's always a good place to start. For most startups SEO is normally handed off to anyone working on PR/Marketing/Viral efforts.

A good place to start for most people would be Brad Callen's SEO Mindset e-book (http://www.seomindset.com/index2.htm) - Aaron Wall's SEO Book is a bit outdated. (Both of these can be easily found on other 'content networks' - but SEO Mindset is worth the small investment ($97) if you know nothing about SEO)
Fascinating. I notice that he is associated with "trance research", of a sort that's hard to evaluate from a couple minutes' googling. Trance and psychedelics do partly resemble each other.

I studied trance pretty intensively with a student of Milton Erickson's. Part of what drew me to it was a sense that it might be connected in interesting ways to the creative process. As it turned out, it was. But I don't use it very often.
I think better advice would be "Don't use eval on user-supplied strings".

It is quite safe to use eval on strings you generate yourself. It's like using macros, but with added syntax errors.
Impotency Can Lead To Relationship Issues
Impotency can be one of the most frustrating conditions for men. It affects them at various level. Some of us take sex for granted because we do not have any problem. But for those that are suffering from impotency and other erectile dysfunctional issues, it makes their entire life miserable. Impotency makes men lose their self confidence and self esteem. As a result, they become underperformers at work as well. They even end up losing jobs.
And in base b, it's 1/( b (b-1) -1 ).
Interesting.. It seems AFF (or this script) either doesn't support spaces in suburb names - or has something else going wrong. It picked up the first word of my suburb, but not the "Hills" at the end.
Yes, but that's not a 1-man job. And that company is EXTREMELY smart.

It may sound stupid to compete with yourself, but what about 'owning' a google search term? Good SEO on all 3 sites may result in 3 top 10 rankings for a single product, 1 on each site.

If you owned position 1, 2 and 3 - what % of that search traffic do you think you would get?
> Any useful product has to be rewritten many times before it's useful enough for people to pay for.

On the other hand, people have been talking about launching early and often. Even your first version of something could well be good enough to launch and iterate upon.

All in all, I'd rather not give my employer any of my own stuff.
Slightly off topic, but I'm curious: what sort of encryption set-up/software do you use? Does it affect access times in any noticeable way?
The health tracking site that I use to track my diet and exercise is http://www.fitclick.com - needs some work with the graphs, and UI, but the idea's there.

I thought you probably did but I figured I'd make the point a little more bluntly because it set up my real response which was that advice with illusions isn't all that usefull when trying to see yourself accurately.
Dealing with security questions (using relationship history)
I feel the same way. If I get the exact right combination of sleep, food, caffeine, and interesting work, my productivity is easily 100x that of a normal day.

I wish every day was like that, but the reality of the world (deadlines, distractions like HN) means that it only happens a few times a month.
I'm sure glad that my government will put me in jail for trying to replicate these results. I feel safe now.
I don't understand why this is interesting. Would adding any other infinite series using that same "fashion" not result in a sum which converges to some number? why is 1/89 special? Is it that the reciprocal of the infinite decimal expansion is an int?
Good idea, I've been letting domains expire all year long.

amateurhour.org just expired, but I could renew it if someone wanted it.

trrd.org, trrrd.com/org, nichekitsch.com, enoughnow.org and w9gfo/0.org are the only ones left, I think.

I love how you classify the fossil record as "expectations." New species appear in the historical record, complete with transitional forms. What's your explanation? Repeated acts of special creation?

Look, the reason I didn't link any more observations of "macro" evolution is because examples have already been linked (and you've ignored them), and because you seem to think that you have logical grounds for dismissing all evidence while clearly demonstrating that you do not understand either basic logic or the scientific method. Seriously, google "modus moron" and fix your shit if you don't want to come across like an ignorant creationist troll.

I suspect that your real complaint isn't based on anything that is clearly evident from what you have posted so far and that pointing you at stuff you could easily find for yourself if you were genuinely curious is a waste of time. But in case I'm wrong:

"Acting as an exit node provides the operator with plausible deniability, since they will have no idea what data is passing through."

This is a weak defence at best and a huge risk to whoever acts as an end node. What if someone further up the chain is downloading child pornography? Do you really want to be protecting their IP, relaying their traffic and sending your own IP in the clear?
Your argument would also support the view that one canonical set of quizzes and exercises ought to be created once, by a properly qualified prof, and used in all schools, so that profs everywhere might allocate their precious time more efficiently.
