"Find some popular keywords that lead to traffic and transactions, wrap some anodyne and regularly-changing content around the keywords so Google doesn't kick you out of search results, and watch the dollars roll in"

Is he not doing exactly what he describes? He is writing about a topic popularized earlier in the day by TechCrunch. There are no objective measurements of the assertion that searching for dishwashers produces spam. As comments here note, searches for "dish washer" product pretty good results. Face it, it's the HN equivalent of Google spam.

My point is not that increased utility is bad, it's that what you consider increased utility is not what I might. Reduced privacy is a reduction in utility to me.

Now, note - I'm a FB app writer. I'm happy I can see more of this info. My own privacy settings are tighter than most, so I don't lose out there either. However, if FB wants to provide utility to users, educate them much more about the implications of each checkbox because most users still don't get why it's important.
Craze for Designer Brands
There is a growing craze for designer brands. If you are a fashion freak, you will know what we are talking here. At one time only Hollywood celebrities, models and the elite went for designer brands such as La Femme Short Dresses, Jovani Dresses, Faviana Dresses, Sherri Hill Dresses and Tony Bowls Dresses. Today designer brands are no more reserved for limited group of people. Even working class women and men prefer designer brands.

Well, let's agree to disagree on the recommendation of Manin's book. I think it's confusing, rambling and often downright unhelpful.

The reason Godel's theorem is proved as (little other than) a corollary to Tarski's in Manin's book is that Manin presents a weaker, semantic version of Godel's theorem that is indeed little other than a corollary to Tarski's. See Manin's discussion of "Godel's argument" and particularly step (c) on p.255 of his book. Manin explains that Godel's proof doesn't use the assumption that D is a subset of T (all provable statements are true), but that he, Manin, doesn't think it's important to care about that, so he presents the theorem this way. In the form Godel proved it, the theorem doesn't require any semantic assumptions.

Manin is entitled to his own spin on what is and isn't important about the Incompleteness Theorem, but it should be apparent to you that his presentation uses an assumption that Godel's theorem in its general form doesn't require. It's interesting (where by interesting I mean "weird, and goes toward explaining my opinion of Manin's book") that Manin nowhere even deigns to mention Godel's Second incompleteness theorem, the one about axiomatic systems being unable to prove their own consistency. Now if you were to take up a better book than Manin's, say Smullyan's Godel's Incompleteness Theorems, and study the proof of the second incompleteness theorem, you'd find out that its proof requires a syntactic proof of the first theorem, the proof that Manin says isn't important. This is because proving the second theorem entails formalizing the proof of the first theorem inside the axiomatic system itself, and you can't do that with a proof that uses semantic arguments and talks about true and false theorems (why? because of Tarski's undefinability of truth!). Think of that what you will.
While I think your argument is very valid for consumer-level interfaces, I don't think it holds for more skilled and specialized tasks like server administration.

Someone who's never done it before should be following a guide regardless (for security reasons if nothing else), and if you set up servers often enough that you don't need to at least glance at a guide or checklist to make sure you're not forgetting something, even the more arcane commands are going to be second nature to you.
I agree the Android buttons are a bit of a problem. I dislike how every handset maker seems to implement them differently. HTC is a funny example because they use at least 4 different button layouts/orders. More than a dozen if you count clickable buttons versus touch buttons. That's a bit much. I'm not looking forward to upgrading to a device with a different layout in the future. I don't really care which layout is the best I just want some consistency.

The other issue which you eluded to is Back versus Menu -> Quit. I'm always a bit paranoid that Back isn't really closing an application and my battery will be dead so I often re-launch the app and look for a Menu -> Quit option. I have a little mental spreadsheet of which apps I can use Back on and which ones I need to Menu -> Quit on. Android really needs a more sensible way of handling multi-tasking.

In my experience perhaps the only way of dealing with characters like David Marks is by completely ignoring their contributions.

He does, I agree, almost have a point. However, his lack of respect for those who spend time and energy contributing to these projects could (and will likely) drive away many useful contributors. "Feeding the trolls" is a dangerous game, much more so than avoiding the advice of a few David Marks.

The problem with this strategy lies in the fact that most open-source projects are large, open communities, where experts in a particular area useful to that project are likely not to be ignored. John Resig's response to the situation (in which he condemns the entire comp.lang.javascript usenet group) seems an extreme (but perhaps appropriate) response to this -- he's sending a very strong message to those who contribute to jQuery: "no more feeding David Mark".

(I would also agree that this Matt Kruse fellow seems to be going about things in an excellent sort of way. His response to Resig < http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-dev/msg/e93f9484cd5246... > was, in my opinion, spot on)

They lied about the evening and may have been there before or during the murder, then panicked after Guede fled, so they cleaned up because they knew how guilty they were going to look. It does not mean that they are murderers.
Also note that Italian defendants are allowed to lie while they are being called as witnesses.

I don't think the quantitative probability analysis of the Less Wrong thread is that meaningful in the semantics of the analysis itself, but I think it shows that a reasonable person would have a qualitative reasonable doubt about the murder.
I wrote a list of jobs I could perhaps pipe to this method of instance procurement but the fact that the process could be terminated at any moment really messes things up.

I'm not even talking about "high-availability", but the cessation of a key node in a dependency tree of instances messes stuff up (at least for my problem space).

What is missing here is a "5 minute warning" API call before shutdown that would let me engineer in a) the opportunity to save any long-duration calculation to disk and b) have my software make a decision to instantiate a full-price instance if my queue is too long and having no cheap-o priced instances running is going to mess things up.

Thoughts?
The point of the post on lesswrong.com is that since it's agreed that Guede murdered the victim, you have completely explained away the murder. So now you must start over, from scratch, as if the victim were still alive, and ask how likely it is that Knox and Sollecito killed somebody based on the other evidence: that both lied repeatedly to the police, that there was only one good fingerprint of hers within her own apartment, that she uses bleach to clean her apartment, and so on. Taking that evidence by itself - without any dead or missing person, mind you - would you even accuse them of anything more serious than obstructing the police?

And yes, the priors - like the probability that a 20 year old female college student with no history of violence or mental disturbance of any kind would commit a murder - are certainly very relevant. That is one of the least violent categorizations of humans you can create. (In fact a more accurate prior would be even more miniscule: the probability that such a person would lead an elaborate team sex murder, an act so rare there is no term for it.)

(However, there is some other evidence that is hard to deal with in this model, like the crime lab saying that there is Knox DNA on the bloody bra clasp of the victim. That evidence seems hopelessly entangled with the murder. How can this model be used to reason about it?)

Anyway, all I know of the case is what other commenters here and the OP on lesswrong.com wrote, so my facts are suspect. I've just tried to explain what the OP is saying. Did I succeed?
I can feel the fierce envy with a passion of a thousand burning suns.
I think you did, and it's important to say that the Less Wrong OP has just made one of many different cases for why reasonable doubt exists. This approach was not used at the trial because the defense argued the version of the truth that Knox and Solecito tried to create.
jQuery.Behavior: Simple jQuery library for boosting productivity
Maybe someday. Right now Google would have to offer at least 2 different handsets (GSM/CDMA) and would need to strike a deal with Verizon/Sprint because they do not activate unapproved handsets. Sprint might be more flexible on this because they're desperate for customers but Verizon will flat out refuse your money if you want to use an unapproved, unlocked, phone.
I can't remember where but someone was claiming that the subsidized model is bad for carriers too, but they feel trapped in it.

Google pushing against the model may have the same effect as Apple pushing the record companies to sell music online (and then later) DRM free i.e. more money for everyone.

For Fun: Research says wealthy men give women more orgasms
My experience is that unlocked phones with pay as you go are very common here in Italy. In Austria, not so much... I'd say about 50/50 in the stores.

I kind of like seeing the real price for things, without having to figure out whatever monkey business the provider wants to foist off on you.
b) have my software make a decision to instantiate a full-price instance if my queue is too long and having no cheap-o priced instances running is going to mess things up.

If having your instance die is going to cause problems, why not just bid higher in the first place? You're only going to pay the spot price, regardless of what you bid.
Glad to hear it.

The OP would say that his framework is the only rational one.
Probably. If so, I'd like to hear how his idealized Bayesian system of justice works.

The legal system doesn't work on Bayesian analysis. It has a probability system defined based on the meaning of English words... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burden_of_proof#Standards_for_d...
I think they were involved in it, but doesn't a murder conviction usually require proof that person X actually did the killing? Otherwise it's accessory to murder or something.

It is.

This is the moment of commoditisation of computing. I reckon there will be price fixings at a commodities exchanges like the Chicago CBOT in the forseeable future, and standard node classes, provided by various vendors.

What will be the consequences? Probably quite some pressure on margins and on quality, the only variables where you can vary with the product. Once there are other vendors, of course.

Blah. The last thing we want is to have more people reading his stuff, getting mad, and feeding the troll.
That's true.

but thinking that out... I guess if Amazon allowed everyone to programatically do that via an API warning then I guess everyone would simply build their software to bid up 1c at the time of warning... and at scale, everyone doing that would simply inflate the spot price higher and high to the point it would approach the full cost.

As computer people, scientists etc you should all be aware of the dangers of untrained outsiders who believe that they can not only understand a complex field with a minimum of logic, rationality and commonsense but understand it better than the trained professionals in that field. As a practicing lawyer, this analysis really sounds to me like the analysis of an intelligent climate skeptic or an intelligent arts graduate sounding forth on AI.

Criminal justice systems are hard. They're right up their with the hardest things humanity has to deal with. They deal with ambiguous facts, necessarily inadequate rule systems and with intelligent human actors constantly trying to game the system - what's more the stakes are terrifyingly high, up to and including the life or death of the participants.

Sure, errors tragically occur. But we should really pause before pronouncing --- based on Bayes, blogs and journalists --- that the cursory judgement of a non-profesional who wasn't in the court is superior to the considered judgement of judge and jury made in full cognisance of the likely outcome of conviction after listening to all the evidence including first hand witness testimony.

And no, throwing in an offhand comment about how Occam's razor disproves God and therefore a little logic wielded with "courage and a certain kind of ruthlessness" enables superior thinkers to do better than the hidebound judge and jury (who were probably irrational Christians anyway) doesn't make the argument any more convincing.
I'm a little unclear - I just logged in today and reverted everything to how it used to be (I think). Were the new settings active before I logged in? I.e., did I have publicly exposed info while I was away?
Hmmm. So using this model, what would the OP say if there were Knox DNA under the victim's fingernails? If her roommate weren't a murder victim (more precisely, that we don't have any reason to think that there's been a murder, since that's what we're imagining to keep ourselves honest) these things aren't even suggestive of murder.

Here's another question: what a friend of the victim had testified that the victim had called sometime around the believed time of death and choked out, "Guede and Knox did it!"? If we're imagining that we don't know if there is a murder, then someone doing that isn't all that damnning, since hey, "it" could be any silly little thing? Yet it sounds pretty bad. Aha! Guede's name there associates something he did with Knox and it's agreed that he only did one thing of note in her apartment that day. OK, can we make a fact that would be more entangled? Yes: what if she said in that dying phone call, "Knox killed me"? Then aren't we saying that we only add the additional evidence of a roommate who isn't thought to be dead uttering that sentence? People say things like that all the time using "killed" as a metaphor for all sorts of innocent things. Yet it seems pretty damning. Can we really untangle the murder from the other evidence? I mean, the probability that the victim would at that moment use the word "killed" to mean something other than "stuck a knife in my throat" seems really low. And I think there is some similar entanglement with the other facts I've mentioned, too. The fact of the murder seems to make this technique faulty.

You missed a step:

People say they want a physical keyboard.

Desperate iPhone competitors latch onto any competitive advantage they can find, even if that means embracing design features that the iPhone has actively avoided, and given solid reasons for avoiding.

People buy 20 million iPhones.

You could also add: and the geeks who didn't buy the iPhone find that their battery cover falls off if they look at it funny.

(According to an ifixit teardown, 1/4 of the weight of the Palm Pre was due to the physical keyboard. I'd imagine it had similar impact on volume.)

However the % change in volume of any reasonable shape of water is so insignificant compared to the difference in energy of hot water and cold water that this effect is almost certainly negligible.

You underestimate the energy the evaporating water takes away. The evaporation energy is much higher than the specific energy. The amount of water that evaporates is not only significant: it also causes the temperature to drop more sharply than you would expect based on only the larger temperature difference. When they reach the same temperature, there is less of the water that was hotter initially. As such, that body of water will be frozen earlier.

I disagree. When Amazon started out, their datacenter couldn't have been nearly as big as those of top hosting companies. I can't imagine it would have taken more than a handful of Google-style shipping crates to host the site.

I'd attribute their innovation more to their core values:

Ignoring competitors - probably the biggest factor. They actually sat down and thought about what people want, rather than doing what everyone else was doing. This puts them ahead of traditional hosting providers, as well as competition-oriented companies like MS.

Customer focus - having an insanely strong focus on the customer distinguishes them from equally innovative competitors like Google.

Commitment - Amazon recognized from the start that they had limited resources, and very carefully chose to enter the cloud computing market, ignoring all the other proposals. This focused them more, while also giving the public more confidence in the service. Compare Google App Engine, which isn't taken with the same seriousness.

Other than that, relative small size helps. Their customers know that Jeff won't eat them for lunch at the first opportunity. And having a few billion dollars of cash in the bank doesn't hurt either.
The link for that is buried down under my profile though
