The only problem that I have with code-generating macros like the FLAG_LIST is that source code browsing tools typically don't work in finding these symbols correctly and it gets frustrating over a large code base. You have to resort to ful

Not sure why you call it economics of scarcity. The distributors want control over the distribution method to make sure they are paid for whatever they are distributing, not to create scarcity. If something is popular, won't distributors tr

I agree with you and have actually seen this in action. Another effect I've seen is with someone whose reputation precedes them -- their reputation for always negotiating piecemeal. No one wants to deal with this person, but since the perso

Something I've been thinking I should do, but never got round to. Good idea, will give it a spin. BTW, I was thinking about working on this because a number of Mortgage Brokers I have interacted with in the past have all been using gmail an

For your third requirement, rather than get a developer to develop an ad serving system (which can get pretty complex), you can simply use the years of experience built into this: http://www.openx.com/publisher/open-source-ad-server -- it

What happens when you are 3 pages down? Won't using the back button will take you back to a previous expired page? What I tend to do when I see the expired message is go back to home page.

Look at what the perl script at http://www.gson.org/egypt/ does -- if you are using gcc, you can compile with certain options to generate info from the source code into an intermediate file and then parse this intermediate file with a scr

You are right in that contacting people was easier via the postal service that via the Internet. BTW, my intent was not to discourage sendwrite.com, but to see if any lesson can be learned from the earlier attempts and avoid those issues. O

This type of service used to be popular among expats from India at one point when Internet service in India was not as wide-spread. For some reason most of the companies providing this type of service died out (the government run Indian pos

The title says this is a "generic distributed compile system", by which I take it to mean that it can be used for anything, not necessarily Go -- Go is just the development language for this....atleast that is what I surmise from my quick r

Twitter's approach (atleast in the early stages) has been more of Darwinian evolution ("Shit, we have to do something about this or we're screwed") rather than planned evolution :-). It has probably served them well -- the growth they saw i

I think, the primary reason to be mad about this is that the law in no way helps any one. It even seems like it will end up being a law that has negative effects. California affiliates will be cut-off by Amazon. So the affiliates either mov

An observation based on mentions of "low quality" in Amit Singhal's blog post at http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2011/05/more-guid... -- you mention that you have no-indexed thin content pages, but is it possible that if Google

Confused about the cost. At the end of the article it says -- "Nothing. It’s free. For everyone.". At the bottom of the page it says -- "Dwolla is just 25 cents per transaction.".

I think it makes sense in it's own weird way -- if the broadcaster had said "Call us on ...." it wouldn't have mattered because we don't know the service provider behind the phone number. But when they say "follow us on twitter" or "follow

Friend of mine has an app that could be used for this (you have to manually enter the location info). Android only though. See https://market.android.com/search?q=locum&c=apps .

Thanks for the link. Didn't realise that they are allowing you to buy the Yuan and the account is actually in Yuan (though you deposit in USD -- conversion at the time of deposit).

I don't understand this...are they giving you a better interest rate? Aren't they simply operating as a US bank (if they are FDIC insured). You really aren't investing in the Yuan...

I don't get it -- is that the purchase price of the bloom box (per watt) or the cost per-watt to generated on an ongoing basis? If it's just the purchase price, then it doesn't make sense to talk about that without amortizing over say 10 ye

I think a good business model would be sell this either as a SaaS service or sell the server outright as software to enterprises. This model of running groups has minimal friction in maintaining records of team discussions (as opposed to se
