Cloud Throw Down: Part 2 Azure vs. AWS
http://compositecode.com/2010/11/03/cloudthrowdown-part2/
Ok, in this edition the fight gets graphic! Let’s jump right into the bout. I’ve also been thinking about adding Rackspace or another cloud provider, so if you want me to add a comparison point, please let me know and I’ll get them added.

Deploying .NET Web Application Code into AWS and Windows Azure is done in some distinctly different ways. There are two ways to look at this measurement;

One is with a configured Web Role or VM Role in Windows Azure and already configured EC2 Instance for AWS or…
A Web Role or VM Role as is and an EC2 Instance as is.
The first scenario one can deploy .NET code directly to the Web Role by simply building the code, directly from Visual Studio and just clicking on publish. For simple web applications and even some complex ones, this is all that is required to get the app into the cloud and running. This takes about 1-5 minutes depending on your build time and bandwidth. I’ll measure this first method of deployment with the web role already started, so it is only the deployment being measured. For AWS I’m making the assumption that you’ve already got an EC2 instance running with either Linux + Mono or Windows with IIS Configured and ready. I’ll call it the…
Soon to launch startup looking for a rad web designer 
We’re a start-up based in Los Angeles looking for a web/interface designer who is passionate about designing simple, clean interfaces and who seriously enjoys finding ways to organize information.

A little about us:

- We’re launching our beta mid-May
- We’re interested in someone who can come in and shape the identity of the site and push our design style
- We’re open to someone interested in freelancing but prefer someone who might want to join our team and own design
- There are three founders, each in their twenties with one who has experience leading social products at some of the hottest and most demanding tech companies, the other who loves building and engineering complex web data systems and the other who has a background in grassroots sports marketing and raising capital.
- Our product took eight months to build and is pretty damn complex (awesome!) but like any good athlete, the front-end should make the experience feel easy
- If you have a passion for sports, that is a plus but certainly not required
- We’re well capitalized

We’re athletic tech nerds and get off building simple products. If you’re interested and feel up to the challenge we’d love to hear from you: design [at] firststring [dot] com (shoot us your portfolio and no matter what we’ll be in touch!)

Ask HN: How much logic/probability/statistics do you apply in your daily life?
Let me give you an example. Someone asked me to freelance a side project that will pay me X money.
Then I could also study for an exam that if I pass it will net me a job that will be 40% of the money more than I get now. I estimate based on previous exams that my chance is about 10% of passing it lets say (because they select only the top 0.5%) (exact numbers don't matter). Now if I study, my chances would be highered by self-estimate to 15%. Then calculating how many hours of study for this 5% and then the amount of money it would net me for X years if I get this job and comparing it to the hourly that the side project will offer me is something I do often.

Does this process sound familiar? It is difficult to explain to people that are not so much math aware that it doesn't matter if I don't pass the exams and my action of studying is actually netting me money because it increases the probability.

Ask HN: How would you define a good work ethic?
I started paying attention to my productivity 10 years ago. It waxes and wanes. Right now I'm in a downturn. After an easy day of work, I just browse reddit and YC. It's depressing.

I remarked to my date last night how I wish I was type A. I've seen them at work. They're machines. They literally get done 4x as much as normal people.

However, I remember reading an interview of an Asian billionaire (might have been Li-Kashing) and "capacity to work hard" is what counts.

Wikipedia's Awkward Adolescence

Like a startup maturing into a real business, Wikipedia's corporate culture seems conflicted between its role as a harmless nouveau-digital experiment and its broader ambitions. Love it or hate it, Wikipedia is a powerful force. As the site matures, optimizing that force in the pursuit of truth will mean that Wikipedia must learn from others as much as it teaches.

Bloomberg.com - Black or White (Safari vs Firefox)
http://noir.bloomberg.com/
I'm hoping someone can help me figure out what is going on with the Bloomberg website (www.bloomberg.com). I recently noticed when visiting this site from Firefox that the styling has changed significantly, specifically the background has changed from black to white and the layout has also changed. Now I much prefer the old style to the new, but more importantly I recently visited the same site from Safari only to find the old (Black Background) design still in full operation. When I visit www.bloomberg.com from Safari I am re-directed to noir.bloomberg.com

So, here I think I'm onto something and I return to Firefox, type in noir.bloomberg.com and wait for the magic - but no luck - instead I am redirected back to www.bloomberg.com and forced to endure their new (and crappy, IMHO) white background website.

What gives? Are they just subjecting me to an A/B test against my will? Is there anything I can do to get my precious noir Bloomberg back on Firefox?

New Webix Demo App "Smart Sheet" Focused on Grid
http://webix.com/featured-blog-posts/demo-apps-smartsheet-2/
While developing Webix, we’ve made several demo projects, in order to check the usability of our library. One of these projects is “Smart Sheet demo”. It is focused on the DataTable, one of the core Webix components. Smart Sheet demo can be used to show tabular or hierarchical data.

screen-001

You can download the full demo or check the demo online.

This mini application resembles the interface of Smartsheet, one of the best web-based spreadsheets. It presents the hierarchy of tasks and allows users to edit it. (We’ve implemented only the client-side interface. There’s no real back end code for this demo).

Let’s look from the inside.

My flatmates and workmates fancy guns but I don't have my firearms license yet so I'm holding off on that front.

And if you do have one, what do you use it for?

Ask HN: Startup Idea to Improve Corporate Accountability
I was reading this article (http://thomashawk.com/2010/12/an-open-letter-to-carol-bartz-ceo-yahoo-inc.html) and had the brainstorm -- would there be a market for a startup that monitors and rates corporate board of directors?

I know there are often a lot of misaligned incentives for the people serving on these boards, but wouldn't there be some real value add if I could look at, say, the top 10 (by market cap) companies in an industry and get a breakdown of what % of the board was comprised of, say, the CEO's handpicked buddies vs. relatively independent appointments?

This data could be used for board election notices that stockholders receive., and companies could highlight their participation or rating in this startup by saying "we're the only company in our sector's top 5 who submits to this level of transparency," etc.

I suspect that the principal-agent problem would make this tough to implement, but as an investor/citizen, I'd love to hear any thoughts...

Abstract: In the last several years, micro-blogging Online Social Networks (OSNs), such as Twitter, have taken the world by storm, now boasting over 100 million subscribers. As an unparalleled stage for an enormous audience, they offer fast and reliable centralized diffusion of pithy tweets to great multitudes of information-hungry and always-connected followers. At the same time, this information gathering and dissemination paradigm prompts some important privacy concerns pertaining to relationships between tweeters and followers and interests of the latter.
