I hope this gets not turned on it's head and we are supposed to be sorry for the guy because he seems to be "socially challenged". He is general being described as a smart guy, it seems safe to assume that he knew exactly what he was doing.

Also, I wonder how accepted bribes really are in some cultures. My guess is that bribes exist in certain cultures because their policies put people into power and give them the chance to ask for bribes. I don't think the people having to do the bribing particularly like it, but they can't help it because the other people are in power. It's maybe more a sign of a defunct legal system than of cultural attitudes.
Last call: London YC/Hacker news Meetup
I suspect this simply won't happen, but I thought I'd make one last call. It was suggested to be tomorrow, March 3rd, but no one seems to be responding.

ADDED IN EDIT: There were initial expressions of interest by:
albion, gaius, nagoff, mattcole, pclark and swombat (by proxy)

I suggest March 3rd be abandoned, and we try again another time.

Any suggestions?

If you wanted to sway me into disagreeing with parent's post, then you pretty much failed. Your post came across as pretty insincere. Sorry to say.

And this: If you can do a story about Open Angel Forum on Thursday and get it to the top slot on HN I will gladly give you an Apple Tablet.

Always an agenda, eh. Even if the event is news-worthy (and organization good), together with the rest of your post it certainly made me sneer.
I would but sadly not located in London.
It just goes to highlight the vast gulf between the Apple brand and a small unknown company. Apple has shown us time and time again that its not about the idea, its all about execution. Just look at what they did with mp3 players and smart phones.

In California, where I live, gift cards do not expirs, and are redeemable for cash if the amount left on the card is $10.00 or less. I got a blockbuster gift card one time, went to blockbuster, asked for two $10.00 cards and one $5.00 card. The next day I went in and cashed all the cards in. Maybe a bit of work, but since I will never use them, it was worth it for the cash in my pocket.

Never email something you're not comfortable with sharing with the world. Aside from the security concerns, your email is not going to be read in a clean room and you never know what distraction, mood or state's caught the recipient.

Is USANA a pyramid scheme?
Friends of friends have recently tried to sell me USANA products. Analyzing it, the math looks a bit suspicious to me; but I couldn't find much on Google about this company. Do others have experience with it? Is it legit or a legal pyramid-scheme-variant?

Thanks!
If he was so concerned about keeping it private why did he e-mail you in the first place? Did the e-mail specifically ask you not to share? If not it's a valuable lesson in how the exchange of information works in the real world. Talk to your good friends about private issues in a private setting. Don't start sending e-mails to strangers(?) and expect them to understand the implied privacy concerns without an explicit privacy request attached.
Sorry, won't be in London, but would have liked to come.
A lot of people are suggesting that it was immoral of Burry to profit from his insight instead of warning people of the impending calamity, yet what message speaks more forcefully? Saying you think the market is going to implode, vs. paying millions of dollars to insure specifically against that happening?

No one would have listened to his warning, and indeed his investors didn't like hearing it. Burry is not the bad guy in this epic catastrophe.

Ask HN: Discovering new music?
How do you go about discovering new music? I find it easy to listen to the same old favourites, and would love a music-equivalent to hacker news. A lot of services, like last.fm and spotify, recommend music based on my listening habits, which definitely is an excellent functionality. I would, however, love to be fed recommendations somewhat uncorrelated to my current taste, in order to broaden my views. Any suggestions where to look?
Because the post is positively oozing insincerity, and most of us here value honesty?

Two things surprise me about this article - probably because I've misunderstood it and don't see the big picture.

One is that there are master and slave databases and searches are done off the master - I've always seen them done off the slaves in other systems. The other is that they state that using MD5 doesn't allow for horizontal scaling. One of the qualities of MD5 is that all bits have an equal probability of being 0/1. Surely the last 1 or 2 bits can be used to indicate which server is holding the data?
uhhhh..... correct!

it would have been kept confidential if it said confidential in the subject line or first line. i get 400-500 emails a day... i scan most.

You can try to convince pirates to stop stealing stuff... or you can put the stuff in a system which you control and then use technology that essentially worked fine thirty years ago for controlling access to it. I know which one I'm betting on.

Client/server means you fear piracy of the client about as much as 37Signals fears someone downloading Firefox.

Also it misses the point of "CSS hacks", interpreting it to mean hacky CSS, just so they can score points.

In reality a "CSS hack" is a way to write CSS that doesn't get seen by certain browsers, usually by reverse engineering and taking advantage of certain wacky interpretations of CSS. That is "hack" here is used in the good sense.

It's not clear from your post if you understand this or not, but for the benefit of anyone else, the reason it breaks is (I guess) because the face is made up of many superimposed letters, colored and positioned with CSS. If you translate the page it's likely that certain letters or runs of letters will be translated to equivalent words in the other language.

This is kind of interesting, but doesn't really say anything about whether the web is broken or not. The fact that it doesn't work for me in Chrome even in the original spanish might though.

God I love GitHub.

I had never contributed to any open source project before GH came along. Since then, I've contributed to at least 5, that I can remember. That's nothing compared to many, I know .. but how much does it all add up? What's the total value of the efficiency gain GH has brought to the open source world?

Indispensable.
While I realize we typically tend to let titles stand at HN, I really think this one would benefit from "Joel Spolsky On Why He Is Quitting Blogging."

I think he just tries to rationalize the fact that he's done blogging for 10 years and now he's just bored with it.
I'm surprised more people aren't using the trialware model for mobile apps. If someone downloads this app and uses it 15 times they probably won't be too worried about 1.99 vs. 3.99 for the paid version. The people who don't use it more than 15 times would have never bought a "full edition" if you had gone the lite model. Seems like a good way of doing it.

Yeah, his argument "nobody else really was successful with blogging for their company" seems weird - so what, what matters is that he is successful.
Do you think Apple and Amazon will allow me to releas
such apps for their devices? I doubt it. The only way
left for me is to write it as a webapp. Such control is
bad for free market in general.

First you assume Apple won't allow such an app. Then you reason on your assumption which may have nothing to do with reality. That's exactly what I call FUD.

BTW, I bought a kindle edition of the book yesterday on Amazon.com and was reading it on my iPhone with a free kindle app. I assume, that if I had Kindle too, I'd be able to read said book on both devices.
Apple did not care much where music on you iPod came from — why should they care where do books on iPhone/iPad come from? The more content available, the more useful the device is. It is hardware that makes money for Apple, and if something helps to sell more of it it is good for Apple.
What is "surprising", however, is the rush to release this version. I mean, it was a process for months, of alpha, beta versions... Then RC came 3 days ago, and hop, gold already, even if still some bugs.

Surprising, but understandable, as the "browser choice ballot screen" they fought for is released this week. It's their chance to propose a "perfect" browser, the moment they will be the most exposed. So I can understand this decision, but I hope that there won't be too high bugs in it, lowering the image. Because it's easy to give up on a new browser on the first error.

Other than that, I have to admit that this new version is amazing, much faster and more pleasant to use.

As I said months ago (cant find the link but it was here on HN).

The JooJoo (then Crunchpad) had to be cool; but more importantly launch quickly before Apple hit the market.

They failed that; so it will be a flop. shrug

However, C99 section 6.9.1 "Function definitions" asserts that

int f(void) { /* ... */ }

is equivalent to

int f() { /* ... */ }

Note that this is not true of a function declaration since

int f();

means function accepting unspecified arguments.

"What's more, I have trouble pointing to other successful entrepreneurs who have used the same formula and reaped the same dividends I have."

The first bit of advice given by anyone is to start building content, so that SEO can help your webapp be discovered. While this is good advice, in a way Joel is contradicting this. He is effectively saying that SEO will only take you so far. This has further impact when it is coming from probably one of the most linked to blogs.

The question to ask here is whether this building content stuff so very important? I agree with the thought about building an audience, which is priceless, but what about plain old content found through google?
I'd suggest you do the same at a medical office. The people who man the computers are typically paid just above minimum wage and have a painfully difficult time using the software, in my experience.

That said I think you are right about other professions, e.g. anyone who works in IB for a large firm isn't allowed a mouse because it is much more effective to become efficient with the shortcuts.

I have a deep interest in keeping my competitors hating the pirates and going apeshit on them.

Meanwhile, I labor in obscurity hoping to one day prove my entrepeneural theory about copyright.

What I see here is pirates indicating market failure created by government intervention. The only way to beat pirates is to destroy the needs for them. That's why you rarely if ever see open source software pirated.

If I ever succeeded in my entrepeneural ambition, I have destroy the video game industry and prove to be one of the most evil capitalist on the planet. :)

I did not downvote your comment even though your comment sounded insincere and provocative. I did not down-vote because it was already low on points. I think most HN-ers hate downvoting.

there are a group of them who down vote everything i post... doesn't matter how insightful...

I don't have much experience in the industry other than reading a few blogs and even I could not spot any insights in most of your past comments in HN (especially the ones from the SEOmoz debate).

Anyway, I've got more important things to attend to at 1AM than Daniel extortion plot fall out.

Really? This is enough to piss off anyone who read it. As far as I can understand you forwarded a private email. You have more important things to do than attending to things you screwed up? I can't understand what is so insightful in that.

+ Spotify gives me a lot of flexibility and choice (when I know what I want to listen to, or if I can spend sometime to go through the "related/alike" artists and dig some) It's replaced Itunes almost completely for me.

+ Last.fm is not built too well IMO to discover new music

+ Been trying to go back to radio. AOL stopped streaming outside the US. Yahoo still works.

+ Been trying to follow a few Music magazine/ Music label blogs which has proved to be the best way to "discover" new music. Completely automated services are too, well automated. Such as: http://www.sixdegreesrecords.com/ , http://www.juice.com.sg/music/
Yes. And if the new copyright owner Eve declares the original license invalid, Bob won't be able to re-licence (or even use the program any longer). Also Alice and Eve could be the same person who just changed her mind.
For me there's a big area around corporate blogs vs personal blogs. With our startup we've always erred on the side of corporate, keep it very much about releases and other important pieces of information we feel our users need to know about our product.

Recently we've wondered whether our next startup should have a much more personal feel - much the same way that say Peldi over at Balsamiq has developed his product and blog (http://www.balsamiq.com/blog/) and in a similar way to what Joel has as well. Peldi in particular has been completely transparent with his numbers and you do feel a genuine personal connection with him when you read his blog - I think this has helped him to connect with his audience (as with Joel) and you can relate to them both much more in a personal capacity.

For me I think it's important to have a blog (even just a coporate blog) - but I do wonder whether you can gain more traction by adding a personal touch to it.

Not sure what other YC'ers think ?
The one thing Opera needs to do now is support it's userJS community, so many of Firefox's most popular extensions and plugins have been recreated for Opera, but few people know about them, making it somewhat of a deal breaker for many.

Sadly this is currently left to third parties like http://userscripts.org/

The reason for this is they're currently rather fiddly to install and configure for the layman, so if anyone knows how to create an all purpose and usable front end for javascripts, they're likely to be welcomed with open arms.

good design is about fitting as much power into as intuitive an interface as possible. Simply removing things does not necessarily mean better design.

It's like getting a car with raw power or good mileage. The trick is in getting as much of both as you can, but sometimes you may prefer one over the other.

Thanks for this and amusingly I've followed the same 'path' - what feels right. I majored in Business at university (and only subsequently taught myself to program so I could converse correctly with the programmers I employed) and we were taught to do a lot of market research before making a decision. I've never really done that though and just chose a price which is why I asked the question. Maybe the market ultimately decides by whether they buy or not. Thank you for sharing though - really appreciate it and I'm sure others on here do also. Best of luck with your venture
