None is the most popular with B2C and Subscription with B2B. That's exactly what you would expect. Maybe I misinterpreted your comment, what do you mean by "inversed".

most of these "business guys" who are you talking about? this is a gross generalization.

How is a user protected from a transaction history subpoena?

I'm constantly frustrated by this. I use incognito browsing way too often. Then when I come across something by accident that I do want in my history (either for searching through history later or because chrome occasionally crashes), I

how is this not good? it's exactly how "seo" became an everyday term...

why? facebook would benefit a ton from crowdsourcing their revenue. users could artificially drive up the value of their browsing history through various tricks that would develop.

by jpwagner 14y ago
wouldnt this flip the issue. rather than users complaining about their data being used, they'd be involved in a marketplace to make their browsing data more valuable.

facebook should give a cut of the revenue to each user whose data was used.

do we all think about the same thing at the same time or does Jonah Lehrer read HN religiously? i _just_ watched that talk a couple of days ago because it was posted here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4082308

his point about not selling to laypeople is important in at least two ways. it's a shame that many scientists game the grant system making their research sound more sexy than it is, seems to undermine the point of publicly funded research (

Clearly good advice, but I'll add two cents. Hang around people who are passionate about things and try to make your circle include people passionate about very different things.

the available commands are discoverable within the development environment only by greatly limiting the available commands. a turing machine would be easy to implement visually, wouldn't it.

"Visual Programming" helps with learning, thus comprehension. how do you know?

yours is the answer to "why do people care about non-programmers controlling machines" not "why do people care about visual programming". how do you solve the issue you point out? isn't using symbols to represent something machine-readable

by jpwagner 14y ago
Why do people care about "visual programming"? The idea seems nice at first, but you always end up back at traditional programming ( http://drakon-editor.sourceforge.net/python/python.html#clas... ). To think that this is for non-programme

I'm also a guitarist and at first I agreed with your sentiment, but then I realized: it's a toy. Forget the positioning as a guitar learning tool, it's not a guitar. It's advanced-guitarhero for your iphone.

The thing that sucks about this story is that at the end, the customer is DEAD. Every great salesman I know cares deeply about the continued satisfaction of the customer. It's why they sell in the first place!

No, I believe you've read the code above incorrectly. This would be, for example: Todo.high_priority().all() and would allow, for example: Todo.high_priority().filter(id__gte=1) I haven't tested chaining these, but this might

Wait, what's wrong with: class Todo(models.Model): content = models.CharField(max_length=100) # other fields go here.. @classmethod def incomplete(cls): return cls.objects.filter(is_done=False) @classmethod
