You have to make them speak English first. I mean, for the majority of Chinese people, they don't care about your Github thing...

Edit: I'd suggest you do some research on this: where's all the information hiding in the Chinese internet?
- An interesting example is this: http://www.pudn.com/ It works different. Yes you can download stuff for free there, but you have to upload your own stuff to gain credit.

It's just that, things work quite different here in China... All the things you talk about, you have to think whether they stand, first.
As we more westernised in our outlook, bigbillionday is something similar to "Black Friday" and deep discount on single day ....might do more for overall internet penetration....currently only 25% of Indians have access to Internet, which stands at 243 million , if this crosses to 340 million, That's a huge market growth of Internet users ...this will in the long term benefit everybody.....perhaps remove poverty of more than 500 million Indians.

Unfortunately mandrill does not provide the same type of customizable routing that Mailgun does. Specifically, the ability to set up a forwarding route so that Mailgun handles all of the forwarding is the reason we selected them. To date I have yet to find another email provider that does this and provides API access and multi-domains support.

>Cohen has announced that he will institute more robust compliance measures to prevent insider trading, and he has hired the Silicon Valley security company Palantir Technologies to monitor his traders.

nice twist. What smells worst, HBGary or Cohen? Does Palantir have the sense of smell?
I used to love Codeigniter, but recently have been introduced to testing, testing and more testing. Codeigniter makes testing near IMPOSSIBLE unless you do some core system hacks. And even then, stubs, dependencies, fixtures.. don't even think about it. Unfortunately to make Codeigniter a fully testable framework, they will have fundamentally rewrite the whole thing. And I do think this has become more and more of a core requirement for modern frameworks.

That being said, I suppose at the end of the day, Codeigniter is still blazing fast and so incredibly easy to introduce to a newer developer. Maybe it will always have a place, and if so, I wish BCIT best of luck!
The problem with travel planning isn't frequency of use: as other people have pointed out, Zillow and Cars.com are used infrequently but make money.

The problem is generating a consumer willingness to pay. Kayak has a commission on every sale, so their business model is baked in. But a travel planning site will need to get customers to pay extra, in some way, and they're reluctant to do so.

Travel planning is something that people have never paid for directly -- travel agents used to extract their fees invisibly -- so a travel planning company will either need to sell the travel themselves and collect commission like existing travel sites, or create a new market.
I think you meant to say "more inclusive".

I don't see any evidence of a huge number of people, that could otherwise contribute anything meaningful, avoiding Linux kernel because it's "hostile". They avoid it because they simply don't have anything meaningful to contribute, or are not able to contribute with the level of quality required in Linux kernel, or they are unable to handle the inevitable criticism.

Also, I'm pretty sure Linus has never used those words to tell people to get lost. Don't invent stuff. He might use strong language but in many cases it is humor or he knows the receiver personally.

This article rings very true, but on the other hand I've thoguht the same thing about a dozen other things that seemed dead until someone came along and did what seemed impossible.

When Myspace was neglected and Livejournal stagnant, a lot of small actors tried to fill the void but there was absolutely no money to be made and I predited them all dead within two years. I was almost completely right.
Kind of surprised that the OP hadn't mentioned Hopper, the travel startup that was founded in 2007, promised to bring "big data" to travel discovery, and still hasn't much to show for $22M in venture funding: http://techcrunch.com/2014/01/20/why-travel-startup-hopper-f...

But I agree with the OP. Travel planning is a rare luxury, even for the rich. And I don't know what it's like to be rich, but when I find time to travel, I put a loose itinerary together and then improvise most of the way, with occasional lookups on TripAdvisor. There's not really a travel service that can meet the needs of wanderlust.

It stands to reason that in the long run Samsung would get better margins if they are consistently the majority of phones sold on all carriers. All things being equal its to the carriers advantage to have a number of suppliers.

They actually were deliberately tricking the customers. They are known for doing this. Actually Amazon.in is hitting them hard with excellent and transparent pricing, great customer service (at least from Indian standards) and that is making them desperate.

Andreessen on Finance: ‘We Can Reinvent the Entire Thing’
I want to pick up more skills like this. I've just done something similiar at work to break in to some event recorder files we could only view as the application provided no utility for exporting the data into CSV (among many other limitations). I was pretty lucky and fluked a lot of it, mainly by just identifying a pattern and messing with the hex values of a file then viewing what it did in the viewer application provided.

I'd love to expand my skills and try this out on a number of other projects. Is there some good starting material which can push me in the right direction?
I used to run a home Linux desktop and a home Linux server. Neither had ECC RAM. I spent something like two years trying to spot a soft error.

My detector was simple. I had a process that allocated a fixed size buffer, filled it with a pattern, and then went into a loop. The loop would check to see if the pattern was undisturbed and then sleep 60 seconds.

I had this process running on both machines pretty much continuously. Neither ever detected an error in the pattern. I was a bit disappointed.

I've been using a 2008 Mac Pro at work since 2008, and a 2009 Mac Pro at home since 2009. Both have ECC RAM. I've never seen an indication that the ECC has actually had to correct anything [1].

[1] I'm not fully sure how I would see if the ECC has corrected a transient error. I've read that it would show up in the DIMM status in system profiler, but I don't check that often, so I could easily miss a transient error.

One tidbit not mentioned is that Samsung's Emperor Lee Kun-hee is in a coma (most likely brain-dead) for several months, and his son is not officially the Emperor... I'm sorry, I mean the CEO of Samsung group yet, because Lee the father is not officially dead.

So, many mid- to high-level managers in Samsung could be postponing highly visible projects until the new leader steps in and clears up which way the company will be heading. (I once heard, from someone in a different Korean company, that there are implicit agreements to not be "too good" on the book in such a situation: if your company does just as well when the beloved leader is on bed / in prison / whatever, then the leader might not be the reason for the company's success. Can't have that.)

You're reading way too much into my analogy. The point is just that lifting up someone who's been pushed down does not also require you to lift up someone who's doing just fine in order to be "fair." This applies whether the disadvantage is due to outside bullying (as in the case of feminism and affirmative action) or an actual disability (it's not "unfair" to make special allowances for an autistic office worker, for example).
I would be very interested to see this happen. I'd like to get into RE but don't know where one would begin. Having an example from a modern game might give some nice pointers to start working on the games I play and love right now.
"Bitcoin is a classic venture capital endeavor: It will either work or it won’t. And if it doesn’t work, we will lose all our money. But if it does work, it will work in a spectacular way. Our investments will pay off 1,000 to 1 or 10,000 to 1 or some other crazy extreme, because these markets are so big."
To echo Thriptic comment: you would be surprised to know how little top US research universities actually provide for their, well, research labs!

The way it works today, mutatis mutandis, is more like a "hacker space" than anything else: you get, if lucky, some shared shoebox as an office; a parked website domain maybe; and some rather vague and guarded promise of institutional support... But other than that you run your lab essentially like a startup: you are responsible for securing funding for equipment, salaries --yes, including your own!-- and
workspaces. And if you can't, you close down: as simple as that.

So the oft-cited 'advantage' of having a steady supply of quasi-indentured post-docs and grad students to horribly exploit is only half the story: if you just don't have the funding, you can't hire them. Note that in this (restricted) sense, throwing more money at the problem would indeed help towards the solution.

It's quite grueling and ridiculous when you think of it, especially in this era of billions and billions of dollars in endowment at your typical RU/VH...

> the photocopy culture

I used to spout this phrase (or ones like it) back when 校内／人人 used to look like a pixel-perfect clone of FB. But I think China is growing beyond this phase. There are small things (like the touch to talk in iMessage? WeChat/微信 has had that for ages) and bigger things like the emergence of drones - the FAA just recently allowed filming of TV shows but some of China's most popular shows are already filmed almost entirely from drones (i.e. 爸爸去那儿).

I think as Westerners it's easy to see what's a clone (because it looks the same) and much harder to see what's not (for us without full fluency) because we can't recognize the innovative ideas everyone else in China may already take for granted.
The scale of China can't be matched by any other single country. But considering India's past and present, this is the largest ever e-commerce sale pulled off by it's own local company which is a giant leap in it's struggling economy.

People come away concluding that, because the problem with Wall Street is not deregulation, despite all the propaganda to the contrary. The problem was selective regulation or deregulation, whatever benefited Wall Street, as well as selective enforcement and interpretation of law. In a nut shell, Wall Street is in control and reconfigures the legal apparatus to their advantage; they don't randomly dismantle it.
> You might want to reevaluate that position. You're reflexively siding with the CEO. You don't know that he's lying and saying "I think was fired because I did this" is not lying either way anyways.

I have to agree with you. The fact that the CEO himself was so riled up about this is pretty strong evidence that there was a lot more to this story than a lack of productivity.
I have seen Amazon.in silently adding prices during checkout (deliberate or not I can't say ofcourse). I haven't experienced Flipkart adding prices during checkout, but the prices do fluctuate while browsing over the span of a day.
It seems to me that all you need to gain above average return is to identify someone who will accept below average returns.

For a long time US shares that paid high dividends were disadvantaged from a tax perspective compared to those that paid low dividends. So if you are a zero tax entity (retirement fund) you could reasonably consistently outperform by selecting those companies which pay high dividends.

I work for a company where we are first banned from trading for a period, then given shares, which we must then sell over a certain period to get a particular tax treatment. We always feel that the shares trade lower over the period we must sell. And higher when we can't sell.

These are all fairly public, and I think just the tip of the iceberg.

It's still not showing up for me. Checked on 3 separate Mavericks machines. So I downloaded the Software Update catalog (sucatalog) straight from Apple and did a case-insensitive grep for "bash" and there is absolutely nothing in there with that string. As far as I can tell, Apple has never offered this as anything but a standalone download that you need to fetch from them manually. Are we both talking about the same thing?

>your theory that the USA and USSR were morally equivalent.

mid-20th century significant share (if not half) of the world population was enchanted with the ideas of socialism/communism with those ideas symbolizing justice and freedom (not mass oppression as it ultimately turned to be). In that respect, _back then_, they were morally equivalent or at least close to it. We know better _now_, after observing of many decades of that failed experiments.

>The USSR conquered and imposed brutal slavery on every eastern european nation. The USA did not conquer any of the western european nations.

They all had their respective zones of occupation in Europe, Korea, Japan after the WWII. With time socialist regime in USSR zone turned to be the regime of "conquest and slavery", while capitalism in the western zones, South Korea and Japan happened to be more freedom conducting. For example South Korea wasn't fan of being occupied by US (for example among others http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autumn_Uprising_of_1946 ) and it took decades for it to ultimately start benefiting from having been occupied by US instead of USSR. Again, back then, it wasn't that clear for huge number of people, and it took decades for the differences to appear clearly.

>We didn't even conquer Cuba. If we had the military power, why wouldn't we?

you think it is easier to fight in Cuba jungles than in Vietnam one or that Cubans would be less fierce fighters than Vietnamese?
Do people still use travel agents? The only time I used one (trip was a gift) we had a bad experience. I think pretty much all the younger generation/tech savy people plan their own trips online manually.
I have two primary concerns when booking a travel, one that I don't end up at a boring place and two that I can manage it in the most economical way. Google search helps me figure that out pretty well. Google Maps are great when I'm actuall at that location. TripAdvisor has nice information. Airticket listing sites are a necessity. AirBnb works well for places to stay. Lot of hostel booking sites in Europe work well. But I haven't found one single tool that can handle all that exhaustively.

Way too many travel planning softwares try aggregating resources from across the internet, just posting it in varied forms. But they don't really give me the confidence that it's the cheapest and the best place I can be at. Moreover, when you look carefully at them, they skimp the details -- the prices and timings are usually way off. To top, if they try to put a fees on top of the original price, it adds to the cost without actually providing any ease. So I still have to resort to going to the original source of the content or just doing my own research. Also, many of the travel planning softwares overlook the fact that motivating people to go for a new trip is a huge challenge. It's also interesting to note that the blogpost was written over 2 years ago and is still true.
That isn't completely true, there are some insider trading laws that apply to commodities, in the US anyway. That is besides the point though, the fact that it is legal doesn't mean that it isn't insider trading.

I was commenting on "And there are definitely many traders in these spaces who consistently post outsized returns, which is why they get paid so much."

They outperform the market because they have superior market information...

And of course I realize that BP is going to sell their own commodity for as much as they can. It is just that there are actually pretty strict rules around how much information the trading branch is allowed to receive from the parent company.
Samsung has rested on its laurels for too long and has ignored important criticism of its products. So I'm not even sad about it. They also own too much of the Android market, and there should be more equilibrium, or at least have someone else dominate the market for a few years.

"cheapest and the best place I can be at" -- that phrase is entirely too subjective to be able to actually easily solve. I know for myself, say on the Big Island of Hawaii (a place I know pretty well), "best place" can incorporate temporal concerns, desire for beaches or mountains/hiking, maybe a place with a kitchen vs. sustaining one's self on market goods and restaurants. Those three variables could describe at least four different places on the island in my own mind. How does that get mapped to a general site?

Lua's standard library is so small, in fact, that until 2012 there was popen() but no pclose(), a bizarre situation that persists today for people still using Lua 5.1 (which is probably the most popular version deployed).

So you can spawn a shell to run an external program, but you cannot retrieve its return code to know if it succeeded or failed. Now that's minimalism!

Well, shit. I've been using the registry cleaner for years now on Windows 7.
