I don't appreciate people putting their personalities (whether I generally appreciate their personality or not) into software. The project you are creating is, or should be, an intellectual endeavor and it serves no technical purpose to push your personality onto users. What's more, it lessens your credibility - if you don't understand not to put your personality into your project then I question what bigger mistakes you are making as well. It's the same reason I wouldn't trust savings to a banker wearing a clown costume, it's not about me hating clowns, they can be a clown in private all they want, just don't make a clown out of your own software.

I like your product ideas so I can see why you thought they had merit. But burn this into your mind "the product is only the start." Marketing is what most new company spend their time doing. Look at any new company and you'll see that their marketing budget is by far larger than any other part of their business. If you are lucky you might have a viral marketing episode but after that marketing spending is what keeps the business going. So in essence there's a cost for every customer you get. So, Sale price - (Marketing+ product costs) = profit. It better be positive to stay alive as a business. Marketing also helps you refine your product to meet customer needs.

Also, to start, a product must meet your customer's needs not yours. I love programming but I can tell you 99% of the people out there don't. If I want a successful product it's much easier to hit the 99% rather than the 1%. It's a numbers game. Also you have to tell customers why your product is great and how it's going to make their lives better - real or not.

The media has conditioned most of us to think that all you need is a good idea to be successful but they never tell you about the hard work it took to get to be successful. A product is not a business. A business is so much more. As a business owner you have to deal with, marketing, taxes, payroll, hr, leases, unhappy employees (because they rather do anything than work one more day) and on and on. Your goal is to make the business profitable enough to have those chores done by someone else so you can focus on what you like or at least get someone to finance you to do it. Read "The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Don't Work and What to Do About It by Michael E. Gerber." It's old but the wisdom it provides is timeless. All startup wannabes' need to read it.

Given that you can come up with good ideas and produce a working prototype you might want to patent and licence your product. There you only need to figure out who might want to license it and work towards selling the idea to them. Good luck!
Hence the humility. But I don't know if the shrill voices aren't less dangerous than the supposedly "impartial" ones. At least you can usually tell what horse are they betting on.
> as long as I can pay him/her by output and not on a full-time salary or a contractor rate...

Does this kind of thing actually exist? Or it is wishful thinking? I'm under the impression that anyone worth their salt won't settle for payment solely based on output/performance.
That's exactly what is getting ruled out by using fraternal twins and identical twins - you measure the difference of this effect between these groups.

If the outcome was determined by how they were raised (or where they lived, or who their parents were), the link would be equally strong between fraternal twins and identical twins; but if the outcome depends a lot on genetics, then the effect will be much stronger in identical twins than in fraternal twins. This does rule out pretty much all other factors except genetics.
Just for clarification are you saying they submit all the pages on a website whether that page contains infringed content or not and leave it up to Google to determine if it actually does?

FWIW, Anil Dash had a great talk relating privately-owned public spaces/parks (e.g. NYC's Zucotti Park / Occupy) to the state of the web in "The Web We Lost" (2013): https://youtu.be/9KKMnoTTHJk?t=3m40s
No worries; I downvote like once a month or so, so I like to leave a reason.
I believe that in most cases, these privately owned public spaces (POPS) are built and made publicly accessible in exchange for zoning floor area increases for the attached development. Public access can not be restricted on a whim.
Where do trying to be "Jesus-like", relentlessness, or replacing one fixation with another come into it? That's the bias I'm talking about; you're making a leap from one extreme to another that's unsupported by anything in the discussion, or the referenced text.
We should also be very aware and cognitive of large entities pushing their own agendas with propaganda for the benefit of themselves at the cost of us. Think for yourself, and think about WHY something was said, rather than WHAT was said. We have to save the future..

Yes, that tends to be how startups come off - even the "sophisticated" ones. They tend to have minimal knowledge of the steps necessary to turn their prototype into a mass produced thing: DFM/DFF, supply chain management, identifying/negotiating with component/bare board suppliers, etc. Generally speaking, they need lots of hand holding through the entire process, and that makes it take way longer for everyone.

The nature of stateside electronics manufacturing doesn't help startups much in that regard, in that shops are kinda either set up for NPI and rapid prototyping or not. Sierra Circuits is good for that, but idk how well they'd fit with a startup budget. Beyond that, the low-complexity nature of most IoT products means they're more cost effectively manufactured in China, as most US shops focus on low to mid volume runs of high complexity boards, as opposed to high volume low complexity runs. Figuring out how to manufacture in China can be a big obstacle for any company, especially smaller ones.
A few years ago, the word on the street was that bezos agreed to boost prices to reward the longtime shareholders/hedge funds/etc. And as expected, the prices on amazon have noticeably increased and the shares are at all-time highs.

Amazon is large enough now that they have a "captive market".
Thanks for politely understanding and agreed I could have worded that better. :^)

A lot of people have asked in this thread if I did any customer development. Many of these projects aren't actually indented to be companies, fwiw. But some were.

My day job for years has been a developer at early stage startups, so I'm fully aware of the amount of sheer grinding involved in customers. And the years of iteration to achieve something that resembles product-market fit. I've incorporated some of these tricks we've used as I've learned them from our teams.

Some of the low-cost things I've tried, with varied success:

- Writing to influential bloggers,
- Social media grind
- Adwords

But ultimately these are side projects. Can't pound the pavement in the middle of work.

Yes, along with Canary Wharf, both private places with even private police. But I'd say the City Hall example is a level more problematic than that because that's where you would demonstrate, there's where the decision making is happening.

OK, I'll bite: "What's wrong with RPi?"

* Expensive

* Physically large

* Sucks power like crazy

* Slow

* Hardware is unreliable and inconsistent

* Constant hardware availability issues

* Form factor changes on every release

* CPU changes on every release

* I/O is adequate if you're building a PC replacement. It doesn't have the right sort of I/O for embedded tasks (multiple SPI buses, multiple serial buses and so on).

The RPi is a fine learning tool, but don't treat it as production-ready. I strongly recommend the BeagleBone Black instead.
The H1B salary numbers outside of Indian body shops don't back up that claim.
Well, we already ban:

* Selling cigarettes to children

* Building buildings that burn to the ground with everyone trapped inside

* Murder

So... I guess that America isn't a free country? If everyone was a perfectly informed perfectly rational expectation maximizer we wouldn't have any of these problems. But since none of those things are true, there're all sorts of predatory and greedy-counterproductive practices that are, yes, unacceptable, things that we have to ban for our civilization to continue to improve. I submit that american football, in its current form, is likely one of them. Too much glamour, too much money, too much tradition, too good at messing with people's heads, both in the way it sucks everyone into it (high school football!) and with the brain damage thing.
Correct. If they actually reported infringing content, there wouldn't be an issue to begin with.
While I agree, we have to also acknowledge the fact that people with entirely selfish intentions are already using tech for purposes opposite of what I suggest. So a big part of my motivation is just to combat tech being used to amplify capitalist motivations in news distribution.
There are lots and lots of artists and developers out there who learned Flash's toolset and got good at it -- and now all that knowledge is useless.

One can say that about a lot of things. FoxPro made me a good living for probably 6-7 years, and it got me in the door at Microsoft. I would also argue that for creating a data-centric LOB application, there are not better tools to replace it (even to this day). But times changes, technology moves on, yada, yada. Now I do other stuff with other tools. I miss that little smirking fox logo, I miss slapping together a CRUD app in no time at all, but FP had it's shortcomings, too, so I try not to get too nostalgic about how it was better in the old days.

As for Flash, well, I try to stay away from web dev, but I won't miss it taking down my browser on a regular basis. In fact, I miss it so little that I haven't had Flash installed on a machine in years (and promptly rip it right the hell off there if a client's policy sticks it on the machine they hand me).
This project is simultaneously a great example of the democratizing effect of Ethereum while also being truly terrifying. A Stanford '17 grad with a few internships worth of industry experience is able to create and deploy a peer-to-peer loan infrastructure. This isn't meant to be demeaning in any way, I'm just remarking on how incredible of an accomplishment it is for both you and Ethereum that the previous sentence isn't fantasy.

Now, I'm someone with ~10yrs experience in finance/production engineering/regulation. That doesn't mean I'm right, just that I've been in the trenches for far longer and seen this type of domain from a number of sides over the course of many years. I need to at least mention that, well, this project is probably a bomb and you should be really careful with it. I, at least, wouldn't want to be the next DAO dev (e.g. project takes off quickly, unseen exploit exists, I lose some 10's of millions of other people's money) at mostly a personal (I'd feel guilty) and career trajectory level.

The Parity multi-sig bug occurred in a solidity shop that was founded by the father of the language itself. It got past a serious audit and had the best eng process known (for solidity) enforced. The odds that your code -- currently unaudited correct? -- doesn't have an exploit are, while impossible to accurately calculate, quite remote. Even an audit, as shown by Parity, is no guarantee. And while yes, we're all human so there is always the chance for a bug, your system could be the next ITO market and thus could gain a huge amount of attention (from both regular folks, regulators, and hackers).

I'm not saying you shouldn't do it (I wouldn't but you do you) or that you must have more exp to do it. I'm just recommending to be careful. Have fun and good luck!
> MFC, ATL, and the .NET stuff with the exception of XAML all use win32 controls under the hood.

Oh, I wish that were true. I have twice been a test automation engineer and stopped exactly that not being true for all widgets. Some are, but many of them, including some styles of buttons are not. A simple heuristic to tell is that when a UI widget does something the win32 can't, its probably not a win32 widget.

Even using UI inspection tools like Spy++ panels with .Net buttons that aren't backed by win32 buttons just show don't show up as an item is the tree of UI elements. There are also applications that just do silly things like use GDI, DirectX or OpenGL to draw a thing that looks like a button and isn't controlable of adjustable via external calls at all.

I think the Charlie Gard case proves your first point wrong. The government absolutely will know in such a system, it has to in order to decide how limited medical care resources will be distributed. Every citizen won't be able to receive an unlimited amount of expensive healthcare procedures.
>They fall into the trap of valuing breadth over depth (as depth has diminishing returns to time-spent) that they ironically never become an expert in anything to a point where their expertise is truly unique.

Go look at some hilariously long job requirements and tell me there is not an economical reason for breadth-over-depth engineers.

Following a specialization is risky. Going after unique expertise is risky (it probably isn't unique anyway, just rare). These are true for tech because everything moves so quickly. You don't hear about the people that tried to specialize and failed to do so. You hear a bit more about people who specialized but the company/committee responsible for the tech decides to deprecate it.
Yeah, I'm really interested to see that happen. Any idea of when?

Even then, the ACA came up pretty quickly after Obama got elected, they had one or two years to back up premiums, and premium increases seem to have remained steady during that time. What the ACA did do is outlaw junk insurance policies that were cheaper but not useful as health insurance.
If the sizes of the components aren’t too small, creating a custom PCB and doing surface mount soldering is not that hard.

Brilliant idea but no explanation about how it works, not the slightest hint and no before-after-pics.

Will you stick eyes closer together, stretch noses and mess with other face geometries so nobody takes selfies anymore?

Curious.

EDIT: Ok, I think I know what they do, my first guess:

They change/normalize/randomize the proportions and geometry of the face + make the pic blurry. Look at their team fotos at https://www.deidentification.co/#team where their faces don't look normal.

They slightly alter distances between (and dimensions of) eyes, eyebrowes, nose, mouth, chin and other face features that it's harder to identify faces.

The questions is if this works with pictures shot from other than frontal viewing angles and if users want to put such pics on sites with public exposure like LinkedIn, FB or Instagram.

Basic financial security if you can pull this off better than the average American. Early retirement if you do much better.

Most people are stressed about money. Then they get a raise, their expenses grow with it, and are just as stressed about money. If you can skip grow half of one raise-grow step, you now have some breathing room. If you can skip several, you can get a lot of breathing room, and still have a comfortable life.
Then you have to figure out how to take down the social bots, and the people paid to spread disinfo, and all the people who are wrapped up in the disinfo :/

> shouldn't the computer conform to how the human wants to work and not the other way around?

Completely agree. I am actually currently developing a tree-style-tab browser that has Chrome embedded for this reason [0]. I feel most people that tell people not to have a ton of tabs open haven't experienced the increased productivity with tree style tabs. I can ctrl+click 15 source files on a github page, opened as background tabs, then (with multiple tab handler) I can click+drag across the 10 close buttons and close 10 tabs with one gesture. I almost want to take a video of me "power-using" the web with tree style tabs and multiple-tab gestures to help others understand.

I see it as vim:intellij::fewer-tab-argument:more-tab-argument. To each his own.

"These people voted against something they wanted" -- no, people objecting to judicial and mayoral overreach voted to override that overreach. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12721928 on judicial restraint. I'm baffled you got my point exactly backwards, so pausing here.
This works great if you measure value in terms of dollars spent per hour, but most people don't.
I don't pay the mechanic to fix my car because it is cheaper than doing it myself, I pay the mechanic to do it because I don't want to do it myself. I have the means to avoid doing many things I don't enjoy by paying others to do it.
If someone has a job they don't enjoy AND they have the ability to choose how many hours they work then your system would probably work, but most jobs have requirements for hours per week anyway so those hours are spent either way. After that you have to maximize the enjoyment value of the time you have free.
No, sometimes it's the court in the US. http://journalofethics.ama-assn.org/2006/10/hlaw1-0610.html - and this has nothing to do with who pays for it.
Just a heads up: on the US Amazon site Feitian has a USB-A + NFC token for $16 (and there's a one-per-customer coupon on the amazon product page to knock it down to $10).

Feitian also have a BLE + NFC + USB token for $24 (with a coupon to buy it for $16), but that requires charging a battery, is less rugged, and the USB requires a cable to connect to it.

It's not as cheap as USB-only (there used to be a $6 USB token sold), but NFC support doesn't have to cost much more (especially as the secure element chips they're built around all move towards having NFC support as a baseline anyway).

Also there seem to be a handful of Java Card implementations of U2F on github already (one of them is even sold as a Fidesmo app, if you want to pay for easy installation), so an NFC-only U2F token could presumably be had for as cheap as any javacard-compatible NFC smart card, and then just registered as a second token.

I don't think it's enough to help push U2F forward by itself, but I think if webauthn can get solid cross-browser support for U2F implemented, price won't continue to be a big problem. Having just read up on webauthn, and seeing how many browsers already have test implementations shipping, I'm pretty optimistic U2F is going to be seeing a lot more interest soon.

The bookmarking interface in chrome could use a facelift. The fact that I have to come up with a name for the folder and think about where to put it makes this less than ideal.

Extensions like OneTab make this sort of dump a one button affair, which makes the process easier when you also have ten windows open. It also keeps them separate from your longer term bookmarks, which is nice.
