This strikes me as a clever anti-competitive measure. You flood the web with cheap clones who have small user bases and low quality, and no one can gain enough traction to overtake your site.

Aren't we already seeing this with tools like Apple's Automator?

You know, a person can always CALL on a 'telephone' and speak to someone from LinkedIn in person. After dealing with a short wait period, you will get to talk to someone who will help you, thus avoiding the nastiness in court.

Actually, these test results were not able to be reproduced even by the author(s). So while it was predictive of the set of people the paper was written for, unfortunately it isn't any use outside of that. Citation - Second comment by the

Why, subterfuge! That way whenever anyone accuses them of having a disinformation blog campaign, they can point to their open source project to deflect blame. Wheels within wheels.

As most readers here already know, scribd is a YCombinator startup, so it's a useful feature for news.YC to have.

Question: if a publisher pays the author 4-6x the revenues brought in for the book, wouldn't that mean that on any 'good' books, they're losing money to publish them? Or am I missing something?

A friend of mine speaks highly of Lulu books as well, says the ones he printed out were the same quality as one you'd get mass produced from a major publisher.

Funny, I find just the opposite to be true for me. Formulas in code are easy to understand while math in notational form isn't.

Thank you. That's the sort of answer to the question I was looking for.

Does this mean that implementations of the algorithms in PCI won't work as well as something one would write if they first learned all the deep math those techniques are built on? If so, then sure this is a problem. Otherwise, then the 'd

Why not try something novel: Initially place articles with a random number generator. It will ensure that the site's front page has a varied content.

Ada has a pretty impressive record in safety critical systems; something that cannot be said of C. Aircraft software systems and many air traffic control systems in particular are all written in Ada.

How is the thesis good? The thesis states: average developers are too dumb to grok object-oriented programming so that some alternative simpler method for data hiding and encapsulation needs to be adopted. Only the really smart people sho

Whichever social network site wins is going to conquer the online auction market as well. Think about it. Once your reputation and social capital can be used to help assess your credibility as either a seller or buyer, then a good deal mo

Your suggested approach is flawed simply because it would require all the little companies to cooperate together on some sort of system.

Ok, this is getting ridiculous. Does anyone here know what it would cost for hiring a chartered flight? Assuming people are more flexible about their travel dates, I wonder if some sort of collaborative scheduling could be done via the In

The answer depends on the purpose of the project. If you're building something to make money, you should not spend the time now to switch languages unless your NEW language has some library or feature which your current project simply cann

You're posting this problem to the wrong place. There are too many enthusiasts in the Ruby/Rails and Django camps for you to get a reasonably straight answer. Instead of asking here, I suggest that you pick a subset of your project that ca

When they can walk the packages over to the UPS hub and they have such a large volume in shipping, UPS probably cut them a pretty good deal also.

I agree. It seems that with print magazine sales on the decline, Conde Nast might be looking at ways of increasing their online presence in the same space as Wired.

I would be interested to see if they did any sort of market research into whether people are interested in such a service. It doesn't seem like it will be all that useful for one of a kind/rare items.

As long as your comments contribute to the discussion about your submission, the community here is pretty reasonable. Also, they seem to be pretty good about downmodding comments that are unreasonable or otherwise unhelpful - so if you 'st

Imp is right, that's a terrible book for someone just getting started. I'd recommend "How to Think Like a (Python) Programmer" available on the web here: http://www.greenteapress.com/thinkpython/ O'Reilly's Learning Python is also an exc

This might offer consumers a cheaper alternative to buying Windows Vista Business or Vista Ultimate and 'downgrading' to XP for new licenses of XP. That way, you get a cheap, Linux-ready laptop along with your OS license.

While this is a neat project, what does Python gain by being hosted in the Common Lisp interpreter? Is there an extensive library as is available for languages hosted in the JVM or the Microsoft CLR?

Well, from what we have been told so far, this is a medical startup. Which means that there's a good deal of regulations and rules that someone has to learn how the company should handle. Since they took investment money, that means that
