At least it doesn't seem to be as permanent though. Having a party over? Just deflate it and stuff it in the shed!

It seems pretty silly to me to assume "anyone who made money on stocks during the bust got their heads handed to them during the bust". Im sure that there's plenty of people that that quote does not apply to. Most people lost money in the 2007-2008 crash, but I got in an a triple inverse ETF in late 2007, so I didn't. Was I psychic? No, I was just paying attention, which most "investors" are not doing. Mr Money Mustache seems to be one who pays attention.

How is it that I don't get it? I can own my own domain and still use Google+ to power my blog just fine. I can automatically backup and store my Google+ posts in case Google goes nuts. In the process of backing up those posts, I can also store the Google+ ID so I can ensure that I can always keep my back-links intact.

Whats the problem?

Someone should just create a script to backup the content of Google+ posts on your blog. Could just save it the first time its loaded on the blog via the API with an option to manually trigger a resave on a post.

Sure Google could ban me, delete my content, or delete my account. But a competent hacker could write some code that did what I suggested and post it to Github for others. It would probably be less work (ok maybe slightly more) than setting up and managing your own Wordpress install.

Maybe I've found a new weekend project.

Ram is soldered to the motherboard on the new MBAs.

Siri was available in the app store until it was announced as an iPhone 4S "feature".

I only use it as a local development server running Ubuntu, but I've never had any problems with Virtualbox running on OSX or Win7.

Of course I've received a package from the bankrupt and insolvent USPS and yes I also buy food from grocery stores that receive food over roads badly in need of repair.

I didn't say that the government does not do or provide ANY good things. However that does not mean that paying taxes to a government that IS inefficient and bloated can or should be called the "common good". The same government spent over a trillion dollars on wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Are those wars part of the common good? The same government spends half a trillion on welfare of various sorts. Is that welfare part of the common good? The same government got us almost 15 trillion dollars in debt. Is that debt part of the common good?

Different people may say yes to one, two, or all of the three things above. I, however, would say no to all of them. To me, paying taxes to the government is most definitely NOT the common good.

I don't consider paying taxes to a bloated and inefficient government to be the "common good".

The menu button, back button, and search button all work with Phonegap. What version are you using?

For anyone interested in making an iPhone game, I highly recommend Cocos2d-iPhone as a framework. I used it to make Twiddle (find in app store) a couple of years ago really quickly and had a very good experience with it. It has come a long way since then.

There is also one in the parking garage at The Domain in Austin. First time I saw it, I was struck by how good an idea it was.

Although I love the idea of a completely consumptiom based tax system, one reason it will never happen is because: "(you get to fire a bunch of government employees)"

This same story was posted on HN a few days ago. Since then there have been some articles crop up that claim that "solar-panel" trees are inferior.

It's my understanding that in 1.0, the card barcode/number never changed, so it couldn't have been automated. Someone correct me if I misunderstood.

It runs fine on my Mac mini with 2GB of ram. I guess my projects are not very large. I only do iPhone dev on it.

Is it against app store policy to release a free app, then lock it down after 30 days (or some other time period) if they don't pay (purchase an in app payment or subscription)? That is a traditional "free trial" approach, but I don't think apple even let's you do it.

The Japanese word you are looking for is "Bunkai" ("Bunhae" in Korean Tae Kwon Do). Contrary to what you say, many masters still teach it when teaching "Kata" or "Hyeong". If you are taking a style of Karate or Tae Kwon Do where it is not taught, you should probably find a new instructor.

Wow, this is an excellent tool. Can't believe I haven't heard about it before now.

I didn't say it wouldn't be inflationary.

Interestingly enough, there are conspiracy theories that say JFK did something similar to try to subvert the FED's total authority to "print money" by doing something similar to what is suggested in the article. The order gave the Treasury the power to issue silver certificates against any silver bullion, silver, or standard silver dollars in the Treasury.

See executive order 11110: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_11110

It can only cause inflation when the money actually hits the economy. The effect would be no different than raising the debt ceiling. Some special book keeping (which is what this whole mess is) will do nothing by itself.

I've really been enjoying developing an app with Phonegap and Sencha Touch. Sencha Touch has a pretty steep learning curve, but once you get it, its pretty nice and you can put together a cross platform app REALLY quickly.

I plan on using Phonegap + Sencha touch to release first iterations of apps. If the app looks like it is picking up steam in either the iOS or Android markets, then I can decide to invest the time in making a native version.

this combo bluetooth + wifi usb adapter would work well with it: http://www.amazon.com/Combo-Adapter-Bluetooth-802-11g-Antenn...

Balancing a budget in a recession does not subsequently mean that the state will take in less tax revenue. It also does not necessarily mean that a "large portion of demand" will go away. That would depend entirely on what was cut.

However, consistently running an unbalanced budget will most definitely lead to a "downward spiral".

You can add "+facebookcrap" (or anything else after the plus) to the end of your gmail address for things like that and the mail still hits your account, but it makes it really easy to filter out.

This is definitely true. I made my game free and it jumped to the top 100 lists in a few countries overnight due to bunch of those automated sites that list app "sales" picking it up.

I was hoping this would also apply to UIWebView in third party apps, but no suck luck. Would have been a great improvement for apps built with Sencha + PhoneGap.

I've been using a standing desk for a couple of months now and will never go back. After a few weeks, I got a nice standing mat and found it to be a great help. This is especially true for me because many of the shoes I wear daily have very thin soles and little support. Yes, I could just wear a more supportive shoe, but at the cost of my excellent sense of style ;).

Maybe I'm missing some secret to twitter or something...but if you think someone is tweeting annoying or useless stuff, couldn't you just unfollow them?
