The "dormant commerce clause" power is actually the last bit: B/C the power to regulate interstate commerce is given to Congress, it is not within the domain of the states to interfere with (i.e., by regulating) interstate commerce.

The dormant commerce clause power doesn't prevent states from having incompatible vehicle compliance measures...the commerce clause does b/c Congress has passed legislation on point. States are allowed to have incompatible vehicle standards (Cali and NY/NJ can set their own emissions and fuel efficiency standards) b/c the legislation allows them to seek waiver. If the dormant commerce clause applied, they wouldn't be able to do this b/c there wouldn't be any waivers available b/c Congress was silent on the issue.

"This whole "HTML5" campaign will likely benefit Flash, because few remain who oppose the idea that "experience matters"

Sadly for him, many people who back the idea that "experience matters" are also against Flash, in all its nasty, proprietary, CPU-killing ways.

It has taken a long time, but Adobe's chickens are finally coming home to roost. Profits are way down this year, because customers are ignoring CS4, and in a recent conference call they admitted they've had to begin hiring R&D staff again, which must really stick in the craw of the marketers who took over.

It's amazing how often people forget the old "be nice on the way up the ladder" maxim. But then you get to enjoy the schadenfreude of watching them come down.
There are apps built with C# (via Mono and the Unity3D game development tool).

"de Icaza identifies almost 40 applications (most of which are games) in Apple's App Store that are built on Unity and Mono...Mono's robust portability and advanced support for features like static compilation are enabling developers to use it in innovative ways that wouldn't be possible with Microsoft's .NET implementation"

Yeah, I thought the same thing. If you're living in a car, you probably can't afford to drop the British equivalent of $50k on a house - especially one that doesn't come with land.
If the prices come down, I would love to have one of these. But only if they can get some economy of scale and mass produce parts for them cheaply.

If I was experts-exchange.com I would be shiing myself just about now.
The Perl folk are being very bold, IMO. With Parrot and Rakudo, they're saying that you can write code in Perl 6 and utilize libs in other languages (including the CPAN in Perl 5), or you write code in other languages and still have access to all those libraries.

That is, they must be quite confident that Perl 6 is a winner, and that most users won't just write, say, Python, run it on Parrot, and make use of the CPAN from there.

(Please tell me if I'm totally missing the point, but my understanding is that any Parrot-hosted lang can access any other Parrot-hosted lang's libs.)

I totally appreciate the value of "open", but pragmatically, it simply doesn't matter.

Every modern PC or Mac has Flash. Developers and, more importantly, "webmasters" (implying lack of technical skill) can rely on it being there.

OK, so the iPhone doesn't have Flash. How many web pages are broken really? Much fewer than you'd think. But even when broken pages affect the average user, they don't think "Damn you Adobe!" nor do they say "The people who run this site are stupid!" and they certainly don't blame Apple who makes this device they love so much. Believe it or not, the average user immediately assumes they personally did something wrong or are completely unsensitive to the problem. "Hmmm, I guess this page doesn't work on my phone... I'll show you later."

Openness solves engineering problems. Users don't understand engineering problems. More over, openness solves FUTURE engineering problems. Most people aren't sensitive to problems affecting them tomorrow, much less problems affecting the greater web community 5 years from now.
> But since Slashdot posters ran the term 'FUD' into the ground ten years ago, you can't use it anymore without being derided.

Quite important. These days 'FUD' tends to gets used more for 'anything which threatens to evict me from my self-imposed ignorance bubble'.
IPhone development on Windows - a basic framework starter kit
Actually, the reason is that old people who live in these communities don't want young families or children, and don't want to pay school taxes. In some states, retirement villages are exempted from paying local school taxes b/c there aren't any children to support.

Local governments hate retirement villages b/c they are not net contributors to local tax coffers: they use up more police, fire, and medical services, they rarely purchase goods (IOW, no sales tax), and they don't own property (b/c the units are "leased" not owned) so they don't pay property taxes. On top of all that, they usually oppose new development in the vicinity of the retirement village, which can freeze commercial development.
Experts-exchange has an annoying and deceptive business model. Does Stack Overflow make any money? Is it supposed to?
YouTube Infrastructure Costs Vastly Overestimated
I had to work w/ ASP.NET from 04-07, and ended up on EE once in a while. I can't complain; never had to pay for an answer, and usually found one more often than other sites.

This crowd should know how to ignore ads or view the google cache anyway.
Part of the anti-HTML5 crowd is more about simplicity and ease of tools. While you and I may understand HTML5 and it's underlying technologies (ECMA4, CSS3), it's confusing to developers who don't understand the reasoning behind certain features. Like the CSS vs. Tables argument, Flash seems easier to do glitzy effects, and have it supported by all browsers.

That said, I'm all for HTML5. Whenever YouTube officially supports the video tag, I'll me more than happy to uncheck that "Enable Plugins" on my browser preferences.
If there was a way to permanently blacklist experts exchange from my Google searches I would do it in an instant. As far as I can tell you can only moderate it down each time you see it which frankly seems to have zero relevance to your future searches. You'd think after demoting it 50 times Google would realize I'm not interested but... nope. Seems to always be in my top 10 searches when trying to solve a problem.
But market size is not static over time, nor are these the only two players in the market.
This is not sustainable at all - they require lots of space, materials, they are expensive... Dense cities and tall buildings are, surprisingly, much more material and energy efficient than this.
One of the more conspiratorial explanations being passed around earlier today was that these bonds were secretly sold Japan in the 80s, to finance the growing deficit without letting anyone know. At that time, Japan was the largest holder of US debt, so it makes sense that Japanese people were found carrying the bonds. And if the debt was issued in secret, it should be no surprise that there's no official record of these denominations or coupon/maturity combinations.

I'm pretty sure it's just a criminal scam and we shouldn't read much into it. Still, it's always fun to come up with conspiracy theories.
I don't believe the Treasuries' statement for a second, because it is precisely the only statement the could make regardless of the truth of the matter.

This appears to ring true with my personal experience. An interesting articulation of a common sense approach.
Well, he's helping write it, and gives talks about it at conferences. I think he's permitted a little evangelism on his personal blog.
OK, but wouldn't it be better if the pages just worked for the user? That seems more important than being able to escape the blame. As you said, openness solves future engineering problems. I think that matters pragmatically.
Until a while back(a year?), I recall that if you came across a question on ExpExch, there would be lots of 'join now' buttons (those blingy types) just below. But If you go down the page down - about 2 page downs - all the answers were there to be read. This way, I did find some decent answers once in a while.

anyway, good riddance.
I'm really excited to see Firefox 3.5 come out soon. I know Chrome 2 and Safari 4 have been out already, but with FF3.5 a really large slice of internet users are going to have a really fast, kickass modern browser.

I was testing my software (which is really heavy on the javascript - makes extensive use of Ext-js) with RC1 earlier today and it just flew. Feels damn near like a desktop app.
It breaks even on a very small amount of ads. There are plans to make more money with a job board and a contractor/client bidding board. They also have plans for internal enterprise versions for companies.
It was recently valued at $1M during a recent podcast.
See, that's wrong in many circumstances. If I want January 12th, 2019 + 1 month, I expect to get Feb 12th, 2019, not Feb 11th. Also days does not convert well into seconds in UTC, because of leap seconds. Historical dates are even more of a mess--consider September 1752 in Britain and the US, or February 1918 in Russia. (Julian -> Gregorian calendar conversions that caused several days to wink out of existence--there is no September 13th, 1752 in Britain, although there is in France.) There is a February 30, 1712 in Sweden.

Calendrical calculations are imposing an artificial setup on a changing system, and have lots of weird anomalies as a result of this.
Poll: Do you think Google will sue MS over infringement of PageRank patent?
Google and Bing rankings are suspiciously similar, at least for common queries. If Bing continues to attract market share, do you think Google would sue Microsoft over potential infringement of the PageRank patent?

I would not live in a nearly $60,000 shed. That doesn't even include the land you need to put it on. Say in many places you can find a cheap apartment for $500-$800/month and just do the math. The shed makes absolutely no sense. You'd honestly be better off with a trailer since there's a bigger existing market for them including used & rental options.
Huh, I hadn't thought about that... I may be able to pull that off. Thanks for the suggestion.

Many of the Retirement Communities Discriminate on the basses of age many places like this are in Florida where you have to be 50 and above some even higher in age..It would be a great place to live, BUT getting in would be the problem, the restriction on age is wrong, But I know they get away with it in Florida and it may happen in other States also...
Actually, you have to scroll through a lot of bs, but the answer you are googling for is at the bottom of the page.

Network Know-How: An Essential Guide for the Accidental Admin
The article you cite describes the exact inverse phenomenon.

The "shadow workforce" is people who want to work, but are not counted as unemployed.

The "funemployed" are people who are counted, but aren't really unemployed, since they aren't looking.

Both terms are stupid. The press actually overcomplicates the matter in coining these. Yes, some people use unemployment funds as a vacation. Yes, the government numbers on certain subjects are useless lies. We don't need special terms for these phenomena.
They still don't have an easy option to forward all your bios readings to the virtual machine to make it simple for windows xp oem to authenticate. Any of you know a good reference for this? The stuff on their faqs does not help.
As I understand, they're all registered and the registry is what matters. The paper is effectively a receipt.
on the same lines does anyone that how it is possible for a developer to be able to do everything from downloading the development kit to creating provisioning profiles and certificates, binary and uploading it without being able to access the contracts/sales/finance report?
How would Zimbra be a Gmail killer if Yahoo Mail has many times more users than Gmail?
a price that isn't ridiculous

I used to work in a (government-funded) technology incubator, and have heard some of the discussions behind pricing spacing.

It makes no difference to the incubator whether space costs $50 a month, $200 a month, or $1,000 a month. We didn't go with $1,000 because that would make us price-uncompetitive with other feasible options in the region. We didn't go with $50 because we thought our core client group does not want to be bothered by people who think $200 is a lot of money.

Looking at the diversity among people working in San Fransisco, have you perhaps considered that the ridiculous price is designed to keep out the weird startup crowd? From the perspective of, say, a civil engineering consultant, an unemployed 21 year old in jeans and a T-shirt who has had three consecutive all-nighters since his last shower might not be the ideal coworking companion.
I actually did a virtual toast when google results started offering the [x] removal/non-relevant option for the sole reason that I could have a say in removing e-e results whenever they showed up. How many times I have clicked on a e-e link and cursed my way to the backspace key? I honestly cannot count. I don't begrudge a pay business model at all! .. just being honest that as a busy programmer, knowing that my answer lies somewhere on a free forum, I so often end up wasting time with a tease of an answer lying behind a CC wall.
anyone tried it yet? i am waiting for my 3GS, will try it as soon as I receive it.

These were the older ones - up to the 80s you could still get the printed paper / 'bearer' bonds. Today it's all electronic of course.
Perl (especially Perl 6, if/when it reaches completion) and Python fill very different temperamental niches. They have profoundly different takes on programming, despite their similarities in terms of both being high-level, interpreted languages. So it seems likely that both will be around for a good long while.

If many languages start using Parrot as a VM, it will moderate the current "rich get richer" dynamic of programming language competition. A language leading in the module race will no longer have such a huge advantage. This will help Perl 6 immensely, of course, since it will start out with very few Perl 6 modules. They'll need to get the Perl 5 CPAN modules working on Parrot to compensate, and it is a happy side-effect that this will make these same modules usable by any other languages running on Parrot.

Also, a point the article doesn't mention is that Perl 6 itself is designed to be a mutable language. Going one step beyond the article, why implement a whole new language at all, just to add/try out a new concept? It may be simpler to instead modify the Perl 6 parser (written in Perl 6 of course) to add your new concept to the syntax and semantics of Perl 6.

I love the idea. I just hope there's actually a ready-for-production implementation of Perl 6 running on top of Parrot at some point.
I had previously posted skepticism at the article. I have reread it more thoroughly and thought about it at length, and now I feel that it could be highly accurate and applicable. The research is important.
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.
Actually, when I come there directly from Google, I do not have to login, just scroll down. However, if I bookmark the page and come back later, I won't see the answers. If I want to see it again, I have to enter the question title into Google and re-search, then go directly from Google again. Eeeew!
Honey, I killed the superbug
Somewhat related but not exactly the same is this scan of a paper document described as a "Safe Keeping Receipt" from the Federal Reserve:

http://etleboro.com/documents/copy-title.pdf

Note Page 2 phrase: "This ... is an operative instrument, and it is confirmed, irrevocable, unconditional, divisible, transferable and assignable without presentation to us."

So at least until 2006, the Fed did issue paper instruments.
According to Wikipedia, the PageRank patent is assigned to Stanford University. Can Google still sue?
I know of single women who have been granted permission to live in a retirement community, since they had relatives there. For single women, it really is a safe, supportive community. It is typically very difficult for young people to be permitted to live in a retirement community.

The average age of the large retirement community near me is 77.
Isn't there supposed to be a two hour limit? That's what AT&T/Starbucks claims, anyway...
Someone occupying an otherwise empty chair has zero marginal cost. In fact to a restaurant, people at tables has a negative cost just before the busy period - would you pick an empty restaurant?
People in a starbucks at non-peak hours aren't a problem and may even attract other customers.
Exactly; and ironically enough, more indie coffeeshops have opened up recently precisely because Starbucks set their price point expectations so high that they get good margins out of it, versus $1 drip coffee.
They simply pretend to be a new startup. Think up a new name and a new image to compete/compliment starbucks and open stores nearby. Only the stock analysts need know they have the same owner.

Then all the kids who are too cool for starbucks can go to new-cool-bucks, dispising the people who go to starbucks - while putting money in their pocket. It's like people who are too rich to buy VW but will happily drive an Audi.
Jason Calacanis offhandedly, and a bit sarcastically, offered 100k for 10%. I wouldn't call that a 1M valuation. (I don't dispute that it's some valuation, but your statement is a bit misleading).
true, though there's a difference between candy sugar and whole wheat sugar. eating a slice of whole wheat bread versus a lollipop will probably provide the same benefit (if not better, being more sustained) without the desire to consume more and convert the sucrose directly to fat.

(afaik. i'm kind of speaking off of intuition here.)
This is awesome. While I really like the indentation-based syntax, allowing variables without having to use even more punctuation is fantastic.

These were bearer bonds, with no central registration. Obviously, there are problems with this, so the US no longer issues them.
Yea this brings the point that PageRank could have been licensed from Stanford to Microsoft at some time in Bing development and as long as they don't infringe on the google trademark they should be fine.
On a similar note a very nice Yurt can be built for under $10K, as always the real trick is finding a place to put it that has services.

According to Wikipedia, Google has exclusive license rights on the patent.

What if Stanford University is not interested in suing MS but Google is?
I'd hit it!
How NY Times of them.
You act as if AT&T's the only greedy one here... AT&T is paying Apple significantly more than $200 for each iPhone it sells (while the figures aren't disclosed, it's much closer to the unsubsidized prices that the public pays--$600 or so). AT&T also pays Apple a significant amount of money every month for every iPhone subscriber (which is probably why service is so much--I agree that the service pricing is insane).

They are both making tons of money here, but I think Apple is the real victor in the deal.
Haha, dude read the story:

"Meyerhardt said Treasury records show an estimated $105.4 billion in bearer bonds have yet to be surrendered."

and:

"Had the notes been genuine, the pair would have been the U.S. government’s fourth-biggest creditor, ahead of the U.K. with $128 billion of U.S. debt and just behind Russia, which is owed $138 billion."
The 10 second shutdown and overall quickness had this PC user flirting with the idea of converting for just a minute, but we all get similar speeds when we first reformat. How long will these speeds hold up for?
Ask HN : Please Suggest a Real Time Web Analytics Tool
For some time I've been using Clicky for my real time analytics. But now that free period is expired, i have to buy a pro version.
Before buying I thought it would be better if I could get some opinion on other alternatives as well.

Please share your experience with real time analytics.
There are much cheaper options than AT&T and millions of customers do indeed enjoy those lower prices. But with long-term contracts and device exclusivity, consumers don't change all that frequently. Number portability definitely helped though.
Hm... no.

I think you're just looking at the number of entries on the 'newest first' list. However, if you take a look at the number of entries for PHP alone there's thousands of individual websites.

The results are based on self reports. However, assuming wiki spam is kept to a minimum, the results should be at least as credible as other heuristic measures, if not more so.
