I read something once that said you should do as many deals as possible.

In theory, whenever you do a deal (a good deal), you are getting something you want and so is the other party. So the more deals you do, the more progress you are making towards things that you want and hopefully only giving up things you are happy to give up.

I have to say I haven't done as many deals as I would like.

Part of doing deals seems to be having the imagination and experience to think about what is possible simply as habit, rather than just accepting the standard way that people do things by default. It's a hard habit to learn.

Sprint HTC Hero Owners: Android 2.1 is available
Well, that's exactly the thing... There's a vast difference between installing some library for a programming language versus an application that John Q. Enduser wants to use.

As far as installing things from source that also has improved greatly in the last two years as well, so there's that.

But in general I'd say the user experience when installing applications on the mac is certainly miles ahead of the way Windows typically works, and arguably better then even Linux (Ubuntu or similar) with the gui frontend to apt-get.
Is this really the sort of argument Apple would like to be having?

"Your cellular service sucks." "Yeah, but that's because we're locked in to a sucky provider."

"I can't tether through my phone." "Yeah, but that's because we're locked in to a sucky provider."

"Your desktop software sucks." "Yeah, but we think this other software sucks more."

I thought Apple was the one who figured all that matters in the end is user experience.
there's nothing special about Wordpress, it just has a ton of plugins and a ton of themes, both of which are being actively developed and launched. Other CMS systems can't match their size
Interesting that this article got so many upvotes. It seems to have struck a chord.

Ever since my last two submissions(interesting technical articles which should appeal to hackers imho) sank without a trace, I have been looking for an alternative myself. I wonder if (and this maybe blasphemy) whether three distinct sub-yc s for hacking/startups/other-intellectually-interesting-stuff may not solve the problem.
On a side note, does anyone know how bad it is for your name and reputation if the company has to go bankrupt and go through that process? Will he get gray listed for future incorporations, background checks and such?
BE SO GOOD THEY CANT IGNORE YOU
Long time HN reader, but this is my first comment. My wife and I have been planning our son's 5th bday and have used etsy for the first time for party favors, labels, etc.. My experience with etsy sellers is A+. We searched ebay, craigslist, and amazon before deciding to make our purchases on etsy. Maybe, evite should team up with etsy, so I can buy my crafts for the carnival party, while I send out the evite. Hmm...maybe I just found an idea for a side-project.
Anyone have a date / time on the removal?
I really hope this statement is meant sarcastically, for the irony here is overpowering.
How do people find stuff ? Is there a repository of sorts ?
That puzzles me because it's pretty conventional, "bookish" advice. It's the sort of advice you're likely to hear in any business-related course, book or blog. Try googling ' "your boss" options OR solutions "not problems" '.

I'm not saying that it's bad advice, but it's only a start, and it can fail you in many, many ways.

Edit: I realize my comment wasn't very constructive so here are some examples.

1) your girlfriend has gained weight. Instead of just telling her that straight out -- which is usually a bad idea, of course -- some people think it's a good idea to offer her "options", like offering to eat healthier with her or doing exercise together. But this won't fool your girlfriend. You're still telling her that she's fat and she very likely won't be happy about it.

Often your boss won't be happy to hear you pointing out problems no matter how good your solutions are.

Also, when you point out problems you might make other people or teams look bad, especially if your solutions are good.

2) Your boss might be a "sociopath" (not literally) and will use your "options" against you.

I really don't like the word "street smarts". Mostly because I am a book smart person. I've heard the same refrain self-proclaimed over and over again since high school "I might not get good grades, but at least I have street smarts".

Street smarts is really just a euphimism for doing bad academically. Now I do acknowledge that that there are a lot of important skills such as knowing how to sell, talk to people, make a pitch, get along,...but I would call that "social skills" or "social smarts"...not "street smarts"

Street smarts for me is literally knowing how to handle the streets...like a drug-dealer would...
IMHO, making everyone else look bad is about the worst thing you could ever do. It's highly unlikely that your manager will carry more weight in 10 (or even 2) years than everyone else you've ever worked with. Beyond that, your coworkers are a lot more likely to be your friends than your manager.

Basically, if you want to look good, do really great work and bring as many of your coworkers (and hopefully friends) into the fold as possible. When you're willing to share successes, you end up having a lot more of them, and credit will find its way to you.
Probably he then sells to some other company that wants to be publicly listed without filing its own IPO. Its an old scam.
Would would agree though that even though you don't really use it, it would be nice to have there? Sure it's valid to say you find enough iphone positives that you are willing to live with the lack of flash.
I'm just very curious to know which medication is being referenced here:

Now, the new medication prescribed in Woodland has made a positive change in his interactions with other people.

“Talking to strangers was really hard for me,” Lamo says. “I had to script it all in my head and act out normal behaviors in a very conscious way. Essentially, I had to learn how human beings act.”

“Now I no longer feel there’s a surface tension that I have to break through when I talk to somebody, like I’m a fish going after a particularly tasty bug and I have to break through the water to get it,” he continues. “I just talk to somebody, like it’s a natural function.”

Any guesses?
Wow, getting downmodded for creating a group to protest Facebook actions.
One thing I have been wondering is how will xiph.org guys react? Developing Theora much further seems bit useless now. Will they begin developing VP8 or maybe specialize Theora for something different that web video. Theora has the advantage of being bit lighter on resources.
Would you fund his "art" on kickstarter?
A counterpoint: people don't notice when you show up; they notice when you are still around. Determination, blah blah blah. It also means that if you train yourself to notice others it pays off.
Pioneering geneticist creates synthetic life
This was my sentiments as well. The market for sharing sounds just isn't popular imo. Adapt the site to mobile video and try to figure that out perhaps?
The point is that, when dealing with people who's sense-of-self is pathologically affected, I suggest you steer away from the "victim" concept, because it is ideologically loaded. Whether depressive or not, people often want to think that they can "choose to not be a victim", which can be a very destructive idea for some. It's much more healthy to think in terms of "patient", because most people don't think that one can "choose to not be a patient".
You would be surprised how many employees come to their boss with only problems. I can tell you from experience that it is exhausting. Having some options to discuss also shows that you have given more the a cursory look at the problem.

Web 2.0 Suicide Machine has been hacked
http://suicidemachine.org/

"Our server has been hacked! All scripts have been deleted and our root filesystem has been severly damaged
Apparently, there were several sabotage attacks last week since users reported that there were no free slots available. We do have a backup from yesterday and are currently going through our log files. We have to clearify what caused this nuisance and we hope to go online soon again!
We apologize for the inconvenience! Please consider suicide at a later moment!"
And why did it stop?

I suggest it was Apple's iPhone which put an end to this madness, just as I said in my first comment.

> Another problem with Jason's analysis is that he is comparing a new and "raw" video format to an established and mature encoder like x264.

VP8, and the libvpx codebase, is older than x264, as it said in the original article.
I'm going to try that, thanks.
"But it actually shipped."

And so will Android. I'm not sure what you're arguing here.
Are you looking for Bubblers?
Bubblers offer smokers a number of increased advantages.With a water bubbler, the smoke from the burning tobacco is bubbled through the bubbler pipe and the water helps to cool down the usually hot smoke.
Another interesting tidbit, you can't post the link above on Facebook.

OBTAL: "This American Life" produced an interesting (even to a non-car-guy) history of the plant about two months back:

http://www.thisamericanlife.org/sites/all/play_music/play_fu...
The work in x264 isn't that irrelevant suddenly. H.264 has great market penetration and isn't going anywhere. And x264 could already be adapted into a VP8 encoder if necessary; it'd work better than libvpx, as the fundamental algorithms and psy optimizations are all better tuned.
I'm not a medical doctor, but I some anti-depressants can have that effect, i.e Prozac.

The S1 may seem complicated, but if you've done 409A's and been audited you are very familiar with how these documents get lengthy on their own accord. Much of the language here is boilerplate that is then barely modified.

I've got an American friend who once got the "American treatment" at a Chinese border. They told him it was specifically because of all the pains Chinese people have to go through when they go to the US.

Sounds to me as though the second paragraph sums it up pretty well; the police in AU have been far more aggressive about hacking offences in the last few years. It's quite probable that the worn passport, plus the fact he was caught hacking that would have sent up a red flag when he came through, not so much the wikileaks stuff, or a combination of all the things he's done, not the wikileaks stuff by itself. Mind you, Australia does have a history of arresting those who "leak" protected reports [1], but then he would have been arrested, not just had his passport confiscated!

But it's easy to speculate!

Hehe, cool, I was helping Schwab Inst. first, then BofA Global Markets Group.
(I'm not saying anything here, rather just to stimulate your fantasy)

However, the best way to kill your enemies, is to kill their credibility. The government has the power to make you believe something (by actually doing it), till you spread what happened, and than provide counter evidence that the thing never happened.

To make that more clear:

* They tailed him, but later they did something else, and report that to the media

* They harassed him, but then told the story differently, even to him

* ...

To kill a political enemy, you can't kill him physically, you just kill the credibility. This has to have a name in political strategy, which I don't remember.

And keep in mind that politicians/CEOs/upper managements are strategists.
So far the only thing Google said is "they are very confident" which legally means nothing. They are not going to indemnify everybody that gets sued over VP8, are they?
The biggest thing I've learned over the years is to take into account different perspectives in any sort of situation. Whether it is conflict resolution or negotiations, you open up possibilities when you look at things in someone else's shoes. This also works great in problem solving. When I get stuck on a problem, I think about how a person admire might tackle the problem.

Nobody protests against the right of individual muslims to feel offended. People protest against the tendency for (some) muslims to try to impose their religious rules on nonbelievers by actual violence and the threat of violence. In the wider perspective this is a protest against the tendency to silence criticism of religions (or anything else)
by using violence against the critics.
Overt initial intimidation is usually an attempt to mask a weakness or fundamental flaw (Thanks Dad!).

This lesson has applied equally well to middle-school brawls, sports competitions, college professors, and litigious organizations.
Everywhere where i have a desktop computer, i also have Wifi. My mobile would download over Wifi, without having to carry around a cable just for the chance to get some files on the device.

Also, 3G downloadspeed has always been around 200kB/s for me.. that's fine for the times i have no wifi.
I suppose I should clarify. I like competition, and I think it's great that Google's driving a tank through the ol' walled garden Apple's got going.

It's not that their comments are unkind or harsh that gets me, it's that they're weak. Some of the things that have come out of I/O this year have been serious jaw-droppers. Wifi tethering, wireless sync, Flash, speed boosts akimbo, and most of all, this feeling of "everything just works together everywhere" that you don't get with Apple's equivalent. That's the king hit. That's the brown trousers moment.

"Hey, Apple, heard of the internet?" just sounds to me like impotent nerdrage.

For what it's worth, I think the speech at the start was spot on. ("If we don't act, we face a Draconian future where one man, one company, one device, one carrier would be our future. That's a future that we don't want.")
I must say, it takes a certain kind of flair to conceive and implement a plan to take a sole-founder company that is only 3 months old public for the purpose of raising $12K in seed funding while incurring $9,700.90 in out-of-pocket expenses in the process (see Item 13 for an itemization) - an IPO that will net a best-case of $2,300 for a stock for which the offering entity disclaims that any public trading market may ever develop!

This reads like a parody of a typical public filing - every disclosure solemnly declares that the company has no assets, no experience, no prospects, and no future to speak of (other than what one might expect of a very young and very green founder who is 3 months into his first company). This is actually pretty funny - sort of like a po-faced guy intoning in mock seriousness about something he knows is wildly out of sync with reality but never letting on about it.

It must be quite a learning experience for the founder and that I assume is its sole point. Quite an amazing story.

So true.

When someone new moved into the neighborhood, my Dad used to always go over and attempt to borrow a simple hand tool.

Keep in mind, (at that point) my father had been a mechanic in the Marines, a butcher and chef for over 20 years, and a serious cabinet-maker for over a decade. He already had every tool he needed.

His purpose was to "ask a favor" to simply start-up a conversation and a relationship. It's amazing what you can establish by simply asking a stranger for "a small favor".
It hit the news cycle, and now technical details which have existed unchanged for years and which no user actually cares about (HTTP referrers) provide new grist for the mill. And, of course, it is distorted beyond all recognition: "Anyone who runs a web page on the Internet -- including advertisers -- is passively informed of the page you were looking at when you clicked a link to their site. This is built into the Internet and is the way it has always worked" becomes, quote, "Facebook, along with MySpace, Digg, and a handful of other social-networking sites, have been sharing users' personal data with advertisers without users' knowledge or consent."

I don't fell all that sorry for Facebook, but man, am I sure glad I have never had my business interests aligned against a media narrative.

Look at people's actions, not their words, and it becomes pretty obvious what they're working towards. Some people and companies have incredible smokescreens. The most powerful smokescreens usually have to do with claims of morality, often tied to religion. The best of these smokescreens will fool almost everyone around. But if you look at actions and ignore words, you will be able to see right through such smokescreens, giving you significant insight that will help you in your situation.

This is from Jerry Weinberg, and also directly from my own experience. When you're paid to help someone accomplish a goal (whether as employee or consultant), you can only help in the areas where they are giving you permission to help. You may see some area where the company is misguided, and you may indeed have the knowledge or skill to help that area tremendously. But if they are not giving you permission to help that area, then you will only hurt yourself and the company by trying to "force" your help in that area. Stick to areas where they've given you permission, and learn to let the rest roll off your back like water off a duck. Over time, that may even gain you opportunities to help in other areas as well.
