I didn't see the image, thats helps me understand what you meant more, I see. I'm particularly sensitive to this because as a "young black male in tech" myself i've had to navigate around some the bias, though when I read the article I didn't get the feeling it added to the stereotype. I am excited to see YC involved with more minority founders though, so TC article aside, hopefully this leads to more.
The main problem is much greater than that builders are discouraged from improving because of a tax on buildings. The main reason we see slums, vacant buildings, fenced lots, parking lots, and single story buildings from 1900 next to new skyscrapers is that not taxing the annual rental value actually encourages hoarding land, since the value of land increases faster than anything else and the less an owner invests in improvements, the higher rate of return from "capital" (land) appreciation will be.
Is this the same site that was involved in the brouhaha a month or two ago because projects were opted in by default and had a hard time opting out?
Organic components prevalent in one kind of chirality may be a give-away for life-like processes. As would unusual concentrations for hard to synthesize components. Also, a surface under significant chemical disequilibrium (oxygen and reduced carbon (plant matter) in close proximity).
You can create all the standards you want. Doesn't mean anyone will adhere to 'em. :)

Yeah I have been using local containers and I really like the workflow.

I wasn't aware of that setup you linked. I'll give that a go, thanks!
It's not autoblogging, they are niche communities no different than HN or forums or StackOverflow.

As they grow you'll see us invest more in their design and build them out.

I'm not certain this will become a huge business for us, but our Q&A platform is really helpful for niche communities and I'm excited to see how it works.

Most folks won't hang out at a Yahoo Answers or Mahalo Answers, but they would hang out at an iPad Answers site or a Toyota Answers site I think.

Time will tell.
Ain't that the truth! I've got 10 or so SEOs who watch everything we do and send complaint letters by the dozens to Matt.

Keeps us on our toes to an absurd level.

Like any instrument, technique plays an extremely important role in singing. Poor intonation is less an indicator of a good voice and more of good technique. Of course no one would criticize a girl who picked up a cello and just started playing for just not being a cellist, but also no one would advise her to simply practice alone. The best advice is for that girl to find a good teacher and get some lessons.

I find it interesting that Derek downplays the role of his teachers. He mentions he took lessons with several teachers, but neglects to tell us anything about them. I could not begin to describe my development as a singer without discussing my teachers.

Yes, it takes practice to become a good singer, but any number of hours of practicing poor technique won't do much good.

"If you copy from one person it's plagiarism; if you copy from many it's research."
If your domain is costing you $10/year or less, and your content is a one-off, automated or crowdsourced, you only need a few cents/day to cover costs or edge into a tiny profit.

If you rank top for that keyword, 70% or so may click through. Most ads will pay at least a couple of cents, but could be higher. (I have a couple of static, set-and-forget sites where the domain registration for the year is paid by the first few ad clicks to arrive.)

When you have 500 searches/month plus some longer tail stuff, it will do better than many suspect.

In my experience, the 'ideas' suffix is also underrated (less competition for domains, decent niche to tackle) as incoming traffic is seeking a result and will often click an ad to get that.
My girlfriend works in this space and the real money is in consulting not SaaS.

For example:

- Brand protection (monitor social media; notify client about trouble when it starts)

- Social media reports (provide a report of what's being said; not a list of tweets for the client to slog through)

I looked at the demo and everything seemed very slick. I would say you could increase prices by 10x at least. You want to attract medium to large companies; not individuals and small companies.

Job title: Bearer of Bad Tidings.

Downside first: not getting to build something that people want. In fact, having to build things that people explicitly don't want. And having to do it with me. Ask other HN'ers I've hired if I'm kidding about that last sentence.

But, oh, the upside: Runtimes. Linkers. Kernel code. WinAPI, POSIX, Mach. Messaging systems. iPhone apps. Chipsets. Ajax. Javascript parsers. C. FFIs to C in your favorite language. Ruby. Scala. Lisp. Encryption. Electronic markets. Firmware. Reverse engineering. Middleware. Crawling around in the ventilation ducts of the world's most popular and important applications.

Are you an HN regular? You can't possibly waste my time with questions. We love smart people who can code who want to learn software security.

Contact info's in my profile.
Umm. Once again: will Alphabet's unionization effort spread to Alphabet?
