Thanks. It's clearer now, though you may consider retooling this in the future. Usually I've found your writing + videos admirably clear, but the message here still seems a bit off.

If it helps give you an idea why it's confusing: I get tons of spam comments on my site offering me spam content generation tools, among other spammy offerings.

They're obviously spam. I'm sure some people do fall for these ploys, and it's unfortunate. An appropriate message would be "don't fall for these". An inappropriate message would be "if you're relying on content generation in 2014, stop".

In other words, just because something has spammy elements, doesn't invalidate the practice entirely. What's still unclear about your blog post is this: If someone does legitimate, high quality guest posting, the kind they would do without Google, is this a positive or a negative in Google's eyes, and should links be no-followed the same way you'd do for a high quality affiliate or high quality sponsor.

I re-read my post and I realize I do sound like a whiny asshole for not getting feature requests for a $5 app.

Good perspective.
That's a great question; I want one of them too. I'll try to remember to ask somebody tonight at their talks. But last I heard, the barrier was finding a reasonably priced way to do it. I don't think they've given up, though; a year or so ago somebody showed me prototypes in a few different materials.
Any error due to using Newtonian dynamics instead of relativity is almost certainly swamped by guidance error and such. These things are never perfect, and corrections are always needed during the trip. They are really good, and the errors are small, but they're there, and errors due to relativity are smaller still.

To give you an idea of the magnitudes involved, consider that GPS satellites do need to be aware of relativity. GPS depends on extremely accurate clocks, to the extent that relativistic time dilation due to the altitude of the satellites becomes important.

However, the necessary correction for relativity is only 38 microseconds per day. That's about 0.00000004%. It matters for GPS, but that's a special case.

For another example: the orbital precession of Mercury was one of the first indications that there might be something beyond Newtonian gravity. Newtonian gravity would have Mercury following a steady ellipse, with small changes due to the gravitational influence of other bodies and the fact that the Sun is not a perfect sphere. However, Mercury's orbit precesses (which is to say, the ellipse itself rotates slowly) more than could be explained by influences from the Sun and known planets. This was initially thought to be due to an unseen planet called Vulcan, but none could be found. Eventually it turned out that general relativity explained the discrepancy perfectly.

The total precession of Mercury's orbit is about 574 arc seconds per century. The amount of that due to relativity is about 43 arc seconds per century. That's about 0.12 arc seconds per year, and it means that if you used pure Newtonian mechanics to predict Mercury's position one year from now, relativity would cause your prediction to be off by (very) roughly 17km. Not much, and trivially corrected for using the spacecraft's thrusters while on course. That's equivalent to a velocity error of 0.5 millimeters per second on the spacecraft's part, and I don't think rockets are that accurate to begin with.

I don't need this website. I can go through the thousands of pages of wiki spam I've been hit with. I don't know why they think my wiki would have pages describing random teenagers from Germany who enjoy horseriding in their spare time and were medical equipment mechanics. Presumably these spammers must be using a similar database to this website.

The lack of unemployed people generated seems a bit unlike real life, however.
Wow, how hateful of you. Do you not see the obviously glaring difference between the two?

I don't believe that Dr. King had the likelihood of being tortured and executed by his own government for pointing out the mistreatment, illegal or otherwise, of his people by that very government.

I do believe that Snowden is under a direct threat of possible execution and potentially being tortured, depending on the current definition of torture I suppose, by his own government for pointing out the illegal activities of said government aimed at its citizens.

You complain the post is hot to compare the two, maybe you should refrain from doing the same.

Snowden has shown the government to be corrupt in his eyes and now you expect him to directly face that very government on their grounds and on their terms? That seems to be a foolish thing to do. You may label the man however you like, I'll wait to see how history plays out a bit and see more of the evidence before making a judgement.
> So I'll put forward a controversial, but hopefully true point: If you believe in the Rule of Law, then Snowden should be tried, and probably will be found guilty, for a fairly clear breach of the law.

There was a time when it was illegal to leave East Germany for West Germany. If the border patrouls catched you doing that they were allowed - by law - to shoot you. When you were catched and didn't get shot you were judged by the judges of East Germany because you broke the law ('Republikflucht', i.e. "desertion of the republic", see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republikflucht).
The law was quite clear here, but most people don't accept that you should be shot or put on trial for trying to leave your country.

There are many others examples, from history (think about a certain time in german history for the most famous example) or current: North korea, China and so on.

So, the question I put forward against your point is: The USA can judge him as long as they want, but does he have to go back and accept their judgement? because of "rule of law"? I'd say no, but the debate is still open.
It makes me minority - I started using Windows 8 from Day One, and actually like it. I completely understand why people who are computer semi-literate bash it.

I have to reconsider my assumptions about a Hacker News visitor.

That's the purpose of the 'hot' algorithms that you get in a lot of ranking sites. In order to keep new content rising to the top, you can build algorithms that prioritise the rate of increase as well. Even weight the listens of users who historically listened to successful tracks before they got popular ('trendsetters' etc.).

So there are other alternatives to human curation when it comes to getting ahead of the curve.

So it's vintage 2012 (like a wine), we might do another vintage in 2015 or 2016. I'd like to do other cities but I don't have so much time right now.

Thanks for the link. I tried some software before but no matter what you use, you still have to do manually keep the records. Given that, I'll just deal with the paper work until it generates enough money to pay for someone to do it.
That's all any model used to construct a predictive simulation can do.
First was a female dietitian, 5'7" and pushing 200lbs. Sounds like a great dietitian.

Next one had a hometown right down the road from me. Cool. She's 53 years old but her SSN starts with 180. PA's SSN range is 159 to 211, and everyone else my age has SSNs starting with 178. SSNs are assigned in-order. See the problem? Her SSN ought to be in the 160s I reckon.

Next was a 70-y/o timber and logging worker. I don't believe it.
I'm wondering if this will stay the same. Prior to 8, I've found that Windows has been easier to work with than Mac OS.

The first example, (not the best example, but illustrative) that comes to mind is I was asked the other day to set up an AirPort Time Capsule. It was unboxed, and so I looked at it, and at first I had no idea what it was. It had no identifying marks, no product name even on the underside. I had to go to the mac store online and browse through images until I could see what it was.

I found the box, and there were no instructions or disks in it. I went online, and found that you had to use a program to configure it. The page to download the program only had a link to the iTunes store, so I had to set up an iTunes account on this computer to download it. Once all of the iTunes linkage was done, I found out that despite the fact the page said it was an iPad, iPhone or iOS app, it wouldn't run for iOS, or at least not in any trivial way that I could find. I then had to hunt around for an alternative download source through google, for the actual iOS application to configure it.

Now the nice part of it is, once it was configured, it was trivial to set up the time machine portion.

And that's always been sort of illustrative of my dealing with Mac. As long as you're doing exactly what is expected, the experience is simple. As soon as you want to do something a little bit differently, it's not simple to accommodate.

Windows is able to accommodate, but sometimes the simplest things become more complicated as a result.

(Contrasted to Linux, which can accommodate anything you want, as long as you don't mind writing it yourself, but has a more limited set of options for pre-compiled software.)

I think 8's real failing is that it wanted to have the rigidity of a tablet while keeping the flexibility that a desktop has historically held. And whenever the question of which to use by default would come up, they erred on the side of the tablet interface, which is frustrating for anyone who would prefer the desktop.
VIDEO:Man overcomes LIFETIME of anxiety with INSPIRING Adventure

To cycle across Africa was completely a dream and you must believe I never imagined it would be anything more. I suffered with fear and anxiety for most of my life but I figure there comes a time when you need to ask yourself “If I could do anything, what would it be……”

“My story was a little unlikely. I lost both parents some years ago which I never really got over. It led to (but was not the cause of) a series of bad choices, I lost my way, lost the girl of my dreams and lost so many friends until I realized I needed to do something about it…so instead of blaming life, I changed it. I’m now cycling across Africa and somehow everything has started falling back into place – I love life and most importantly have gotten to know someone again, that I thought was lost forever – m
A significant amount of Windows PC users stick with Windows because they're gamers. However, the number of recent and current games for the Mac is steadily increasing (for example, just under half of my Steam library is Mac compatible). Also, the "Mac tax" (ie extra amount paid for a Mac over the cost of the hardware) has greatly diminished.[1]

If Microsoft doesn't release a worthwhile successor to Windows 7 within the next few years, then yes, some consumers will buy a Mac.

I'm using mapQuest geocoding API[1] which basically does what you do for free, without the rate limits.

setting it up was quite a pain because they don't use semantic http codes, and I had to play with it a lot to handle their undocumented error codes (they store it inside body.info.statuscode). Good to read that you return semantic http codes.

If you want to differentiate from the competition, I would suggest that you improve the address parsing and support more patterns. Think of us having to geocode user-typed location fields from twitter. Enjoy it :)

I'm guessing there is a lot more "No because" rather than "Yes if" attitude in London?
Seems to me that it's the same in all cases, whether it's a traffic stop or you're being questioned in connection to a murder: be firm but polite. Don't give out any info you're not required to, but don't be an asshole. Clearly there will be some differences (i.e. you should insist on a lawyer if you're being questioned about a murder, but should not do this during a traffic stop) but my point is that we should not consider a polite insistence on your rights and polite refusal to give out information beyond what's required to be in and of itself being a dick.
LESS/SASS are not what the post is referring to.
The first thing I noticed was that the vehicle field doesn't seem to be sensitive to the products available domestically for the person's address. And for bonus points, it could even consider demographics of the address versus price of the car (I got a Bentley while living in the middle of nowhere in the rust belt, which seems a bit suspicious).
I think the main problem is the big banks are right next door to the Silicon Roundabout area, and they typically pay 3 times as much.

The "Microsoft believes in Apple" from that might be more Job's reality distortion field. :-)
I can think of a counter-argument to all this. I live in New York, but I have worked briefly in London. I could make a case for London that would go like this:

There are brilliant programmers in places like Italy and Poland and they feel stifled in their home countries, so they escape to London. Many of them would prefer to go to the USA but the USA's strict immigration policies keep them out. As EU citizens they have a right to move to London, so that is where they go. London is bigger than San Francisco and it is also bigger than New York. London is also much more international than just about anywhere: this place used to be the capital of an empire that held 25% of humanity. The phrase "The sun never sets on the British Empire" used to be literally true. London is nowadays the favored playground for Russian investors and Saudi princes and Brazilian entrepreneurs. The amount of money in the city, waiting to be invested, is beyond imagining. And also the amount of programming talent, drawn from all over Europe, is of the highest caliber imaginable. At some point these 2 things, the vast pool of investors and the vast pool of talent, must inevitably spark something, and when that happens the results will be great.

"If the price were right, we would be buying nothing but Hitachi drives."

I don't understand why they don't. Are the Hitachi drives really that much more expensive so that it doesn't justify their vastly longer lifespan? Even if they can get "free" replacement disks during the warranty period, that has a cost for them. And they mentioned that some replacement disks die even faster.

I'm sure Backblaze has crunched all these numbers - would love to see them. BTW thanks for sharing this data!
Same here for me with http://timebot.io/ I just have no clue how to go about getting customers.
I assume it's been posted here to show how much the thinking has changed since 2008.

Not just with the precompilers - LESS/SASS/Stylus - but with the overwhelming amount of web apps being developed with modern CSS frameworks like Bootstrap and Zurb Foundation.
This is the best news I have heard all day. I HATE LOGMEIN, though one of my clients uses this in preference to a VPN into their network. I don't know if this is a free client limitation, but the remote window is stuck to the resolution that the pc is set to. They built a bargain basement PC and stuck a 1024X768 monitor on it. It ends up looking horrible on my 1440x900 display and is barely usable. Im hoping this spurs the client into providing a reasonable way to access their SQL server...
great for mocking up nethack levels!
The answer is still valid. LESS and SASS are CSS preprocessors, not frameworks. Sending spaghetti code to the user's browser can be limited but LESS and SASS do not address the flaw of CSS frameworks.

Even with shareholders. In the end, what they truely care about is that the bottom line keeps going higher. It's only when it's not that people start to care. But its really easy to look at expenses, and wonder how they are relevant.. then inadvertently make harmful decisions. Maybe the best programmer is most productive when surrounded by hookers and blow. If that showed up, people would instantly bulk, and it would be gone. But now the programmer is at a disadvantage.
