I think it's a "rule" as opposed to a strategy like "don't sacrifice your pieces in exchange for nothing" is a rule in chess. It's possible to succeed without following that guide line, but it's very difficult.

VC firms produce modest returns for a very high risk. You've probably only heard of one out every hundred companies that have been venture funded. Low risk investments just don't produce enough return.

A link to a website which publishes photos without authorisation of the author does not in itself constitute a copyright infringement

Sorry for my naivety here but the way this is worded is creating confusion for me. Does the article mean:

1) Linking to photos that you don't have authorisation to use on your website isn't copyright infringement.

2) Linking to a website that doesn't seek authorisation to use photos on their website.

To me it reads like the latter, in which case how is one meant to know if a website has sought and gotten authorisation for each photo they use?
Your failure here is not that you are not making it available, but that you failed to communicate this limit in ability.

The flow for me was "hey neat", click link to reddit page, "ok, this looks good", click link to google play store, click green Install button, 'none of your devices are compatible', "what in the ever-loving ...?", go to hn comments, "oh goddamn, not again".

That could've been MUCH shorter and MUCH less confusing if the title up here ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11447273 ) said: "Announcing Reddit for iOS and Android in NA/UK/AUS" and at the very least having a text below the appstore/playstore buttons stating this.

Have some empathy please.

Edit: Going "Hello World!" in the "What's New" section also doesn't help matters.

Torrents are usually one file, which would not allow Adaptive Bitrate Streaming.
Content-wise there is no competition for the examples he came up with. I think their success should be credited to habit (people are now used to it) and content, not to their 'ugly' interfaces. I think that new apps / sites like Uber and Airbnb wouldn't have succeeded with Craigslist's aesthetic and that the iPhone would have flopped if the interface looked like Windows mobile.

And for a personal example, I come to Hacker news for the content and the community. I do not like the look of it.
The charts does point out one thing that gets in the way of a lot of narratives. Apple didn't lose the the marketshare war to IBM, Commodore did. Commodore had already passed Apple by a wide margin.
True to a certain extent, but to come back to an example given by the author; Apple Preview vs Acrobat Reader: both are successful pieces of software used by millions, one is a lot less bloated than the other though. Some companies/projects seem a lot better at avoiding bloat than others, for a multitude of reasons (culture, business model, ...).
WordPress plugin starter kit (Boilerplate)
Hi there!
I created a WordPress plugin starter kit / boilerplate, so probably it will be useful for someone. The project is available on GitHub - https://github.com/maxkostinevich/wp-plugin-starter-kit
Starter Kit is based on Tom McFarlin's WordPress Plugin Boilerplate version 2.6.2. The Starter Kit contains some useful modules, such as: - Custom Database Tables with CRUD - Custom Taxonomies and Custom Post Types - AJAX - Shortcode (with TinyMCE plugin) - Plugin Settings (Settings page with tabs is included)
It's not really pompous. Fund 'vintage' is the way that VC firm partners (GP's) have to orient their thinking because it's how their investors (LP's) measure the success of a particular investment in their firm. The term vintage has been standard fare in this world for a long time, even if it draws its roots elsewhere... See also: 'carried interest'[0], which draws its origin from shipping centuries ago.

My office is close to my home (35-40 minutes by either bike or car because traffic is heavy) and I actually look forward to the days I drive. That drive gives me 35 minutes to enjoy my coffee and listen to an audio book or podcast. It's a peaceful time of the day.

I live in the 'burbs now and I don't think I could ever go back to high-density living. When I was in my 20's, the energy of the city was electrifying. In my 40's, the peace of the neighborhood is calming. I love having community pools and tennis and basketball courts. I like having maintained trails for walking my dog. I love having a big garden. I like my neighbors and my gigabit internet.

I'm just waiting for self-driving cars to be available so that I can move further out of the city.

Honestly I think it is good to feel guilty. If you felt 0 guilt and just shrugged, I think it would make you seem a little bit of a irresponsible sociopath.

Now obviously don't live in a basement for 6 months because of your sadness, it was an investment that they could afford to lose ;) But I think it normal / expected to feel sad/guilty when you let someone down...
In this case though the statement about "privacy" is seriously marred by the marketing of the product as "Hey, find out if your partner is cheating" rather than going "Hey, see how much we could find out from some vague details?"

When you are doing a task - say find a florist - you can charge people on the exchange to advertise right there on a PPC model, you can charge for keeping your wedding private (£50 say?) and you can charge for extras like auto generating a website.

I would add that it's quite an interesting problem in its self to decide what tasks are even in a wedding and what needs to be done. Maybe my idea is a little different in that it's focused around having control over all aspect of your wedding from the companies through to who will usher people into the church and what hymns will be sung...

This then makes me start thinking are there differences in the planning of a gay wedding, a baptist wedding, and Indian wedding...

Imagine if you could assign tasks and roles like groomsman/brides maid and you can agree to help out...

There's millions of possibilities with it... Even things like seat planning. Could be a lifetime of work.

Charging for the budgeting feature and allowing people who had already overspent by the most access to special offers by tradesman. You would have to be careful to filter out offers that were already being used!

With the purchase of AlienBlue over a year ago, I had high expectations for an official Reddit app. Seeing how hyped Jase (the developer behind AlienBlue) was about this app, I was expecting a less buggy version of AB with more features. Instead, what we got was a reddit app with less features. Here are my main issues with it:

1. No moderator support. With AlienBlue, we could read all of the Mod Mail, and remove posts, With Reddit.app, I can read some of my mod mail (some message chains are missing), and I can't remove anything.

2. No Comment flairs

3. Can't see which posts I've read already

4. The in-app browser isn't as good as the older AlienBlue one, and doesn't have an optimized view for imgur/direct links

5. No casual/favorite subreddit groups

6. Most of the settings in AlienBlue are not in Reddit.app

7. No swiping gestures except for swiping from the left edge to go back.

Commenters in /r/AlienBlue found more issues with it than what I've found so far. While I have hope for the future of Reddit.app, I'll be sticking with AlienBlue for now.
You should try Relay -- it's quite good, and even lets you manage multiple accounts.
It's incredibly hard to identify successful companies early on. But following Thiel's rule isn't actually all that hard.

The key is to look at the total addressible market for a company or product. It has to be large, or growing quickly, or both. For example, AirBnB might have looked like a bad idea, but the hospitality market is huge, so if it did work out then they could grow to become a giant company. On the other hand, you could create a transformative product for blind people, and build a business around it that makes you a multi-millionaire. But VCs will never invest in your company because there just isn't a big enough market. You might 3x or 5x an investment but you'll never deliver the kinds of giant returns VCs need in order to make their LPs happy.

Of course, I'm talking about traditional VC firms - like the one the blog post's author runs. There are all kinds of investors out there with different motivations.
There's a good checklist of app features, per /r/AlienBlue: https://np.reddit.com/r/AlienBlue/comments/4dqajk/new_reddit...

The big feature omission is no iPad support, which I am legitimately curious why they would leave that out.

If you are looking for a iOS Reddit client, I strongly recommend Antenna, which is amazing on an iPad as well due to Split View.

So I try not to and take it one step at a time.

But to somewhat answer your question: a personal safety device that is always active, not something that tries to detect an emergency situation (which I find very hard) and only then activate.

Have you ever taken money from outside investors? It doesn't really matter whether the investor expects loss or at least is aware of the risk. Losing other people's money when they took a bet on you is a miserable feeling. Add it on to the list of things that can keep you awake at night when you're a founder or startup exec.
See my other comment. I think you SHOULD feel guilty. You should also get over it and move on with your life, but if you literally feel NOTHING for losing someone elses hard earned money, something might be wrong with you.
I dont understand the appeal of this at all. The first demonstration gif shows how this mangles your text. Maybe this would be good for writing english for audiences who learned it as a foreign language.
> But the problem to me is when people think chocolate bar, cake, pizza or milk shake.. these are food items with 75% calories from fat

I don't believe this statement is true. Calories in pizzas are generally around 1:1 from carbs:fat[1]. Likewise with a typical (i.e. low cocoa solids) chocolate bar[2], milk[3], or cake[4].

Calories in a milkshake are likely to be from 2:1 carbs:fat, at best (milkshake generally equals milk, plus sugar, fruit and flavourings).

You can learn how to create websites and offer that as a service to friends/classmates and/or local small businesses.(html/css, buying domains, setting up hosting).

Maybe learn how to setup develop and customize wordpress sites and offer that service as well. (setting up wordpress on hosting, pointing the domain, installing themes, customizing, plugins).

Apply HN: Getline – p2p reputation system
Get Line is a peer to peer lending platform with adjustable credit line and simple solutions to directly invest in other people.

There's a better alternative to loans than what is currently offered by the financial industry. We've created Line with strong belief that social connections and reputation are the most important currency. We're fixing the lending experience with social networks based on trust. That's right - we encourage our users to invest in other people's dreams.

I wrote more about this in medium.

Just a reminder that the phrase Technical Debt is used a bit broadly here. In general, TD is when the codebase drifts from continuing to align with the development team's understanding of the problem. So phrases like "design" or "security" don't seem to work. At least to me.

FWIW, I wrote a blog article a few days ago on TD, including times when it might be appropriate.

http://tiny-giant-books.com/blog/technical-debt-edge-cases/
There are a lot of important details and discussions here that would be lost in a single paragraph. For instance:
- Many people think that things that indicate social status cost money (who thinks this, why do they think this, when it is and is not the case)
- How education and occupation do, and do not, influence social class.
- How our culture defines class in ways that we may not realize even exist. We're so immersed in culture, it's difficult to realize alternatives.
- She explores inter-class relations, and how the perception of class differs around the world.

I mean, those are just a few things I ran through and picked up near the beginning. I found the article extremely easy to read, and appreciated some of the subtle details in the writing that drove the point home. Is any type of long form writing on a subject pretension, or what would you prefer?

Without reading the paper (don't hate), but just approaching the question as an experienced software engineer, technical debt SHOULD lead to a higher rejection of pull requests in a lot of situations.

Assumptions: Let's assume we are talking about a system with technical debt that is well understood to the maintainers, but difficult to address in a piecemeal fashion (most of them). Additionally, let's assume most pull requests are from external contributors for toy features with no deep understanding of said tech debt the features may be aggravating or making more difficult to address (most of them).

In such a state of things, it is absolutely the job of the maintainer to be extra choosy and reject more frequently pull requests that only make the task of paying down the technical debt that much harder.

Of course, taken to the extreme, this can ruin the project. But in the interim while a rewrite or refactoring or cleanup is ongoing, it may be justifiable to reject changes that constantly cause the target to move back.

I don't think that's unreasonable. Honestly, there's nothing you can say to bring me 100% on-board. I'll never believe that someone's right to smoke is greater than my right not to be subject to smoke and that the burden should be on the one who acts/smokes.

I can agree that someone should be free to smoke in their house, provided they have no dependents. Again, I don't have a strong opinion, probably because [in parts of the world anyways] I feel things are decently balanced (maybe you disagree). I was just curious.

I was gonna complain about the lack of binaries, which will instantly make me skip your project, until I saw this:

You'll still need the entire compiler toolchain, and 'libtool' on Ubuntu. I got as far as the ncursesw dependency before I gave up.
I've always thought it would be cool if I could have the option to run more rich apps in my terminal - ncurses and lynx come to mind as examples.
Reads okay, but far from agreeing with this personal point of view. And i think it lacks a lot of proof for some statements e.g.

'It works through matters you can’t address during the day.'

I'm curious how you assume this or what papers you read that makes you think this.

Being tired can certainly be a badge of honour. It's where for example you continued to get things DONE... and others simply say, tomorrow another day, i don't care what happens after 5PM. It's called responsibility. Though this obviously doesn't apply to everybody in the same way.

If I understand this correctly, Brightwork is essentially acting as a middleman between APIs and the developer.

Is this concept against the terms of third party APIs like Twitter/Facebook?
