As someone with a blog, the size of my audience matters a lot, knowing I actually have people reading what I put out there matters a lot. Having people interact with my content or tell me it helped them sure does motivate me as well.

If I lost my search engine traffic that'd account for half of my daily traffic. (only around 500-600 people so not huge) If that happened that'd be pretty demotivating.

This reminds me a little of Android's "freedom", which has mainly referred to OEM's and carriers' freedom, rather than the user's freedoms. If Android was fully GPL'ed, the carriers couldn't lock down their devices. You could say that Android gives the "freedom" to the carriers to do that - but that's not the freedom that really matters. The freedom that matters is that of the end user.

By a "free" and truly open Android, I would normally understand an Android that the user can use it however it wants - not necessarily the vendor. Unfortunately, Android isn't GPL, so that freedom is mainly for the OEMs and carriers to do whatever they please with it, which has also become a pain in Google's butt, because they're taking it in all sort of different directions, fragmentating it.

It's also a little like the bill of rights. You're free to do a lot of things, as long as you don't harm others (generally speaking). You don't have the "freedom" to harm others.

Same with GPL. It doesn't give you the "freedom" to harm that software and its users and close it down any way you like. That's a real strength of GPL, not a weakness.
This is also not true in the US where USDA requirements for organic livestock include a requirement with free access to the outdoors and space for exercise, a ban on growth hormones and antibiotics (which are the only way to keep animals packed in close together), clean dry bedding, clean drinking water, direct sunlight, shade and much more.
Humans on Mars within 12 years?

They probably said the same thing in the 60's about the moon missions (and they were wrong), but let me repeat the phrase..... "I Highly Doubt It!".

I won't stop doubting it either until I see a lot more robots on mars first.
Naturally, a complete answer will depend on your advertising goals, and any serious advertising campaign will want to be prefaced with experiments and cost/benefit analysis, etc.

That being said, you can check out these ad networks. I get the sense that they're somewhat stilted in their demographics, but whatever:

- Reddit

- StumbleUpon

- Digg

- Pinterest

- I think Demand offers display advertising?

- Project Wonderful
This looks fantastic! I'm a writer/editor and have been envious of programmers for having GitHub while I've been stuck with Microsoft Word (which is nice for personal use, but frustrating when you're working on a document with multiple people). I just signed up. Can't wait to test it out!
I'm not going to comment on the product itself and whether it's useful (people are already doing that), but some of the inconsistencies in capitalization and grammar might put some people off:

1) "Follow the topics you care about, grow your reputation, get notified about the hottest news as they happen and chat with people like you."

-"get notified about the hottest news as it happens" sounds better

2) Categories are sometimes capitalized and sometimes not: fashion, music, Gadgets, Health, Most useful Apps, Movies, news
-Stick to one structure of capitalization
The simple answer is that these office plans are cheaper. It's a common business pitfall. The cheaper short term solution wins in spite of long term health productivity and culture advantages.
Its not like there's some standard or minimum level of competency required to create an account and comment here. I think many expect this to be an enlightened and learned crowd of commenters when most people here are likely still college age or younger. Heck, I created my account back when I was still studying in university.
Your assertion that SEO's are unequivocally a scummy bunch is wrong and seems pretty irrational to me. A lot of SEO is simply making sure you include good descriptions for items, include keywords, have a properly marked up site so that you are not unfairly penalized, when you have a legitimate reason to show up in results for certain search words. The fact that these SEO companies also did affiliate marketing (not spamming links on message boards and people's websites!), used to be considered pretty white hat and necessary to get any sort of ranking above page 39 or something.

Advertising via adwords and things like that is a very expensive activity, with no guarantee of increasing legitimate traffic and interested customers. Prices have increased greatly over time in most categories, and though larger businesses might have the margins where losing a few tens or hundreds of thousands here and there on ineffective advertising might not be a problem, but it disproportionately is for smaller businesses.

The biggest problem is really that Google has a pretty effective monopoly on search, and can extort whatever prices they want for advertising, and can also make widespread secret changes that pretty much affect what sites are allowed to show up on the internet and which are not.
Another thanks, I will have kids at my local coderdojo using the api tonight!
| Why does it matter so much? That's a blog, and a non-commercial one at that. Why do you care so much what your 'link profile' is?

Because networking is everything in life. Maintaining a good reputation, providing valuable information may not pay off immediately today, but you never know what you'll need tomorrow. If you are penalized today, you have no chance at tomorrow.
Not all religion is about 'believing' in gods and spirits. They are often used metaphorically to convey deeper ideas, e.g. In Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism, and Sufism.

The idea that all religion requires uncritical belief in gods and spirits is itself a false belief.

What you stand to gain is to learn ideas about the experience of being human and the nature of the psyche. You do not have to start believing that mystical beings are real in order to benefit from the metaphor.
I'm replying to the parent disagreeing with him.

I definitely agree with iterative refactoring and incremental changes that SoundCloud did.

If SoundCloud has tons of money that can provide a long-term runaway, they can do major refactor or re-write.

i.e.: if competition _AND_ money are not the issue, why not?
No, it wouldn't require Java (thankfully).

The problem is the IO driver abstractions available on each platform are wildly different. Getting working filesystem driver code on Windows (7/8), Mac OS, and Linux is a non-trivial task that requires a lot of kernel mode hacking.

If you are willing to live with the performance impact, at least initially, you could use FUSE for MacOS/Linux. I don't recall if the Windows UMDF (User Mode Driver Framework) supports file system drivers or not.
Developing a Basic Website Functionality with Webix and Struts
You forgot to account for speakers - more cables there. In general, the advantage to an all-in-one device is aesthetics. If you want something in your living room? All-in-one is the way to go. If you go with a wireless keyboard and mouse, you're tethered by a single solitary power cable.

It's once place where I'm generally disappointed in Apple's competitors (I loathe Apple but I freely admit they win because they're the best). Non-Apple all-in-one devices either ugly and anemic or fail to compete with Apple on price (if Apple beats you on price, you lose). The big thing I think competitors need to learn from Apple is to stop being such size-queens. Save some money on monitor size and focus on getting the other details right.

Same goes for laptops - the average Windows laptop the same size as the the largest Macbook. Apple is one of the only companies even building in the 11" form-factor.
No, it's pretty appropriate in this situation. Don't be an ass.
Forgive me for being stupid, but what does google have to do with all this? It's the last source of traffic that I would think of when it comes to blogging, I could be completely wrong about this but I can't imagine that's the way to to it.

What would do it is: interesting articles, a userbase that likes what you write and passes it to their friends, a reputation for quality and useful articles, people linking to you because they found your content useful, engaging you audience and so on.

In contrast with that (which takes a long time to build up, that I will readily admit) google traffic seems so fickle.

My company is co-located with another company and they encourage dogs in the office.

My question has always been: what if you want to hire someone with a dog allergy?

Worse: what if the person isn't currently local and there aren't any dogs in the office the day they happen to come in but relocate only to find they can't possibly work in that office?
That depends heavily on the workload. For optimized floating-point code, Haswell is a beast (16 double precision flops per core per cycle, vs 8 for Ivybridge).
Yup, also 386BSD. According to their website, Linus actually had some code in there in the early days, which is interesting.

Your nickname reminder isn't working. Try a post-it note on your monitor.
If a business X is 5% better than business Y (for whatever reason) and marketing helps a customer go to business X rather than business Y then value is being created.
Cicconi is self-interested, but he's right on one thing: most proponents of reclassification haven't thought through all the implications of that proposal. Your typical net neutrality advocate has probably never heard of the Universal Service Fund, and certainly couldn't articulate why, e.g. a long distance call made on a Title-II internet using Skype or Google Voice should be treated differently than a long distance call made over a traditional Title II telephone network for the purposes of the USF fees.

The author argues that Title-II reclassification wouldn't expose content companies to regulation, but how does he explain the fact that VOIP services are required to contribute to USF? Isn't VOIP just content too?

Title II is a Depression-era regulatory regime, designed back when people thought that things like government-regulated rates and prices were a good idea. That's not the way forward, it's the way backward.

Freebase: A free version of Google's knowledge graph
This is really closing the already-small-gap between Apple and their competitors in the All-in-one space. I've been shopping for an All-in-one and it's thoroughly unimpressive - to get something with Apple-level quality, you really have to pay an Apple-level price... and at that point, you start wondering why shop with a brand with a worse reputation than Apple? I mean, I like Asus hardware, but I wouldn't want to pay Apple prices for Asus hardware.
Ask HN: SEO beginners (similar to Hartl for Rails) guide for engineers?
Finding a good, reputable and up-to-date high level overview of best practices when it comes to optimizing for web crawlers has been difficult to find. Is there a Hartl Tutorial for SEO?
There's not really any similar techniques there, except that the tactics are a bit slimy. It's not like you can make an appeal to Google's Pathos.
Perspectives give insight into the "whys". You may not agree with the perscription, but understanding the diagnosis can be very enlightening. (For the record, I'm non-committal in either direction, atheism or otherwise).

Dunno how it works for the newest iMacs, but I replaced HDD for SSD on an earlier model quite easily.
They are frightened that tptacek might say mean things about their hashing algorithms.
Copyright violations only matter (legally speaking) if someone is willing and able to sue.
You now rely on chip designers being super-human.

The real truth is that the difficulty of containment is proportional to the interface that is available to the contained process. You don't need VM or hypervisor technology to build a virtually unbreakable container. You only need to prevent the contained process from using any syscalls at all.

Hardware only seems better at this kind of stuff because (a) it's harder to find errata in hardware and (b) the syscall interfaces of commonly used operating systems are much larger than what the hardware offers, and were developed without keeping containability in mind. It is a well known fact that tacking on security features in hindsight is problematic.
Is there a delay on Indiegogo or has a fundraiser that's interesting enough to hit HN front page for an hour only managed to attract a single $5 pledge in that time? (Which strikes me as odd given it's getting voted up.)
But google traffic is not networking. And a link profile is not networking either, that's just a bunch of bits.

Networking is meeting and engaging people.

The Scientific Way to Slice a Cake
If you can use mobile traffic, then there are DOZENS of mobile DSPs (Demand-Side Platforms) which compete to offer mobile inventory.

www.decisive.is is a rather good one, but there are tons of them.

Otherwise, the obvious suggestion outside of the search arena is Facebook. Advertising on FB does work, and it's insanely targetable.

Note: none of these options are exactly fire-and-forget - you'll need to put time into learning how they work and optimising your campaigns in order to reap rewards.

I am not in the SEO industry, and said nothing in defense of unethical SEO practices. My parents are also very ethical people, and would only do business with others they felt were the same way. Just because someone participated in affiliate marketing in previous years, with consenting partner sites, before it was outlawed by Google, does not make them immoral and irresponsible.

And besides paying Google to exist, no one my parents ever talked to even seems to know what it takes these days to show up on Google anymore, because it's secret, so no worries because Google's moral crusade has been successful, never mind the collateral damage.
It's not the five minutes of extra work; it's the cognitive overhead of knowing how to do this stuff. Talk to someone who knows nothing about computers, sometime. You'll find all kinds of misconceptions and worries. "What if I plug it in wrong and break it?" tops the list, usually.
If we actually had politicians that represented the people instead of whoever paid them the most, we might be able to craft laws that made sense to today's situation. But we don't.
I'm not skipping anything, and at least you are agreeing that shipping Android phones are not using open source software.

I do not dispute that having a related system that is open-source can aid in reverse engineering.

However the source of commercial Android phones is not open source, and does not have the benefits that open source would imply.
> If that happened that'd be pretty demotivating.

Ok, that's a good reason.

But when you started blogging you did not have any visitors at all, you must have done it for some other reason.

And when you have 1200 visitors (say a year from now) per day and you lose half your visitors per day (because they are search engine traffic) and you're back to 600 you could still argue that you lost your motivation.

How many visitors come to your site is just a number. What you get out of the engagement is the key imo, and in that sense 50 people that you engage with are worth 500 that just visit and look at what you write.
Yeah, that's largely what I do, especially for things like budgeting. That's one of the reasons I don't have automatic depositing setup with my bank. By forcing myself to have to go to the bank to deposit checks, I am always short on cash, and I know it, so it helps me curb my spending.
This is a people thing, not an academia thing.
I support this, but it makes me wonder: how can political correctness be part of the USPTO's duties? It seems reasonable to me that someone should be allowed to have a trademark on a distasteful, disparaging, but original and representative symbol. I imagine that's how much of the pornography industry's trademarks work.
Morally it's absolutely no different than Apple running PC guy ads targeting Microsoft, Windows, and PC makers in general. It was a negative campaign meant to harm the competition by making fun of it.
In Austin, that probably won't be too difficult. Expensive, but not difficult.
is it still exist? what is it's name/url?
You can certainly build a network by meeting people via your blog content. If they can't find it, you'll never engage with those people.
Believe it or not, some people don't want the clutter of extra cables and another box on the desktop to get tangled up in the other stuff. They'll pay the extra to have a clean setup on their desk.

Apple knows some people treat PCs like furniture. That may make you grind your teeth, but at least you have the option.

This is the new eMac.

The audience are the same people buying 8GB iPhones and 16GB iPad Minis -- they need the platform, but don't care much about the speeds and feeds.
Replacing Title II with an updated version with similar goals would probably fix that. [e.g. Move the government out of the rate/price control aspects but retain the lack of discrimination requirements]

As far as the USF goes it is already being spent on broadband:
http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/connecting-america

At which point, it probably makes sense for the USF to be funded by ISPs as well as phone providers. However, the fee structure would need to be altered to not run off what is basically a long distance call tax.

The FCC doesn't have the power to do that, however. Congress would need to fix it. Shall we begin praying for miracles?

David w/ the Participatory Politics Foundation here, we created & ran OpenCongress from 2007-2013, and now it lives with the Sunlight Foundation. I wrote about version control for legislation here on OC Blog in May 2012: http://goo.gl/Ll2rDs. I still think it's possible on a site like OpenCongress or GovTrack, it's possible on GitHub, and this non-profit is working on it directly w/ their MADISON platform for text annotation: http://opengovfoundation.org.
I think your definition of religion (spirit beings) is limiting. The study of religion and philosophy can lead to a lot of interesting thoughts about purpose, meaning and morality. Those topics are usually interesting to everyone. Maybe add Ravi Zacharias to your list and CS Lewis has a lot of interesting stuff on this topic as well.
It's frustrating to see Sony fail like that - Sony was Apple back when Apple was doomed. I keep waiting for a Win32/Android company to position themselves as "Apple without the Apple OS". Sony has succeeded there with the Xperia line, but their laptops don't reflect that.
You enjoy eating at PF Changs China Bistro? Really?

I get what you're saying, but as far as business goes, it's just not very pragmatic to ignore the monumental impact that google can have on your hits/conversions. Your competitors certainly aren't ignoring it.
The presence is being documented, but presence isn't damage.

I'm not an industry apologist. But we can't spend billions on everything, and there are real issues that need addressing.
When clicking the 'Show me more topics' I expected to be able to see all the topics, but rather it's a random assortment with no way to change a URL to find one. There really needs to be human-readable URLs at least for the categories.

The front page could also use an example topic as part of the scrolling page to best illustrate a use case, as there are a vast number of other established sites and forums dedicated to such discussions. The small thumbnail mockup at the top doesn't highlight this enough I don't feel.

If I were to imagine a use for the site personality it might be for off-shoot conversations around something specific that I could link others to, but that would depend on the ease of sign-up.
Has anyone yet described exactly how the breach was accomplished? Or as usual no details come out?
People are not told they need certainty, but they are subject to a great deal of emotional violence to get them to conform to systems. You bring up the topic of social belonging - being ostracized is the primary form of shaming that is used.

Having been wounded in this way, people seek any path out of their suffering.

Spiritual experience is observable in the brain, but it is certainly not understood, nor are the mechanisms. This is equally true of psychedelic experiences caused by drugs.
Rebol is another example worth looking at. It doesn't come with regex at all instead it uses a parse dialect (an embedded Top-down parsing language).

In my experience of looking for an all-in-one: if you want apple-quality but from any other manufacturer, be prepared to actually spend more money than you would on an iMac.
Obviously with an iMac you are not getting a touchscreen that is standard on every other AiO,but I can't say I would use such feature.
I can't help but be skeptical about SELinux, having been written by the NSA. What would make you choose SELinux over AppArmor?
Which is why I'm not going to challenge the accusation of 'bullshit'. I don't think the principle applies here.

It does suggest I need to clarify that I believe that it is both the great strength and the great weakness of corporations.
