We do have some that no one will do, but usually that's a problem with the question (e.g. they can't find what we ask for or it doesn't exist). Turnaround varies with time of day. I wrote more about this question here: http://blog.clayvale

Applying this information to parenting is the killer app for genetic profiles, much more compelling than employer screening. A sheet of paper that tells you what's unique about your kids and how to raise them? It would be very hard to say n

Goes to show that anything you enjoy, if you think about it hard enough, can be applied to startups. It's all human experience. Feynman said it as "The whole universe is in a glass of wine." http://hackvan.com/brain/msg00058.html Personal

Great idea on bootstrapping user interest from del.icio.us. I have too many del.icio.us tags. Please sort them by frequency rather than alphabet (or at least provide the option). I use del.icio.us as a repository for technical bookmarks (as

I recently encountered the "no spec" campaign, which argues against doing preliminary design as a proposal before getting paid. More here: http://www.no-spec.com/ Your example illustrates why I find their position unreasonable. Designers

You're right, I'm not arguing against the article so much as trying to continue its thought. I agree that generative models are useful. Among people who use them, I suspect that the next major predictor of success would be adaptability. Con

Sure, the ability to form generative models is important, but it's at least as important to be able to change or adapt them when faced with contradictory evidence. The "CS IQ" test in the article bothered me because it rewarded premature op

Great article! This quote makes me grateful for version control: Indeed, Picasso seems to have put into practice here an idea he had expressed a few months earlier when speaking of one of his paintings: "If it were possible, I would leave i

The splash page is impenetrable. That kind of minimalism worked for Google because you can type in anything and get results. With your page, it took me minutes to figure out what it did and anytime I typed more than one letter, I got a conf

Yahoo got the tools to index Flash files as well, they just haven't implemented them yet. Getting there first doesn't make Google evil, but painting Google as an evil monopoly might get your blog some easy traffic. Earlier story: http://ww

That is the most common reason for using a cache in the first place, so you seem to be stating the obvious. Am I missing something? If I remember right, skip lists are unfriendly to caches (compared to balanced search trees) because they do

You should pay to check whether the message is available because your requests cost Amazon money. That way, if you don't care to poll frequently, you won't be forced to pay some average price that's driven up by other users who do need to p
