I think this is actually bad for older job seekers no matter what the outcome is, just because of awareness. The next time a skilled but borderline elder candidate applies to a younger company, the company will probably have a higher chance to pass on the candidate.
Welcome to platform business. Anytime you build on someone's platform, using someone's API, you're at risk.

Microsoft did that well against a little known company called Netscape.
To illustrate the "humanely fulfilling": while students in Rotterdam, we had to ride our bikes back 5km from a pub... it just started raining, but while biking the sky literaly fell on us. We arrived soaking wet, drenched. Among us, this remains one of our best memories.

Why would Quora decide to open to search engines? I'd think this would dilute whatever value the site has, given that there are already a glut of Q&A/recommendation sites coming on line. More interesting question: on Jan 11, 2010 Quora (Adam dAngelo) said Quora would open to search engines on August 6, as happened. Yet they were still in private beta then. d'Angelo gives a mildly altruistic reason, wants to share high quality knowledge with the masses. Obviously, I know my way around there a bit. Calibre of content is inconsistent: some is much better than slashdot, some is narrowly focused. Not as dangerous and Hacker News, thankfully. Entire afternoons can be swallowed here...
In my opinion, Facebook has some time left but not much. I would guess that a new site will take over within the next 12 months. The transition will be similar to the one we saw a few years back when everyone made the shift from Myspace to Facebook.

Even though I am 20 and in college and am friends with everyone I know in real life, everyone I knew growing up and from summer camps, and many of my internet friends as well, I rarely go on anymore. It used to be a daily activity.

What went wrong? I think it just became so popular, had so many people that it wasn't not interesting anymore. We all have a little hipster in us - once everyone you know and their mother and their grandmother is using something, it starts to lose its appeal.

Lastly, Facebook had too much change. They could have updated it once or twice with fairly big changes and been fine. I noticed that I hated hearing about facebook or going on facebook when they were rolling out new privacy agreements and rearranging the site layout once a week.

There is a big potential for anyone developing the next social networking site. Who knows what aspects will make it popular though.
So did one of you fake having a kid to post a "review" on the AppStore? A poster on Tech Crunch says you did.

IIRC you mention elsewhere on this thread that neither of your is a parent but on TC someone said this. I quote

"

I think these products are great.

For example, Mick Johnson, CEO of Wheroscope/Stalqer/Zotora/ChildPulse/BindTwo/Gasbag/Knetckr/… was a childless 30-something guy at the start of 2009.

But due to the power of location-based services, he has apparently discovered that he has not one, but multiple children, one of whom is apparently old enough to be taking soccer lessons.

From a ‘review’ that Mick posted to the App Store, of his own product:

“I think it’s great that I can give my child more freedom and at the same time get more peace of mind. I’m not worried about where he goes, but it actually makes his life easier if he doesn’t have to keep calling me to let me know he’s gotten home from school or is later to soccer practice. At the same time, it’s easier for him to know how long until I arrive when I’m driving over to pick him up.

I would love to be able see more than 1 of my kids on it though – looking forward to the update. “

Is this guy blowing smoke? Or did you guys fake a "review"?
I tried modifications for PageRank for rating soccer teams, and I will say it provided a questionable rating and not very good predictions compared to other rating methods.
It is solid and it is easily computable
Proved was the wrong choice. Implicated is probably more accurate.

But really, there was some article very recently that made all the same points.
The blog entry on the topic is available at http://www.sensepost.com/blog/4873.html Also, GoWalla & Bit.Ly were informed pre-publication, and fixed their stuff.
Sounds like a good idea. I've had this problem in the past (family photos I didn't want to put on my public blog).
It's not about stalking your children. It's about having the safety net: IF they go missing, I have a way to find them.

How many parents do you think would accept a decision by their children not to use this? Your logic is the logic of police states: it's not to hurt you, it's for your own good, so why do you need privacy anyways?

Whatever the motivations of the authors, they are marketing their product to the unreasonable paranoia of parents (our society is actually really safe, people) and the effect of this software will be to make the lives of many children worse.
What Shamu Taught Me About a Happy Marriage
I live in Hamburg, Germany. I always tried to use the bicycle for any regular work route under 20km.

I use to use my bicycle for a job where I lived outside and the company was in some inner part in Hamburg. 18km.

I also used it when I lived in some inner part and was working in some part of the harbour. 16km. There was a Fitness center near the office, I was a member of that chain of fitness centers. I was using the bicycle to get to that fitness center and have a shower there. Then I walked to the office.

I would expect that it is important to take a shower before walking into office. It's just a matter of planning. Really good companies have showers for their employees. For example many of the larger companies have some kind of sports facilities.

Additional to taking a shower, one also needs some fresh clothes. Also you need a save place for the bicycle.

It takes some planning and organization, but once you use your bicycle three or more times per week to get to work and back it pays back.

The excellent fitness is what you get in return.

Currently I live in a suburb. The whole area is reduced to 30km/h for cars. I use my bicycle a lot. Bus station is 50 meters away. The bus comes every 20 minutes. The bus takes me in 5 or 10 minutes to two local city centers. The next local train is 15 minutes walking or 5 minutes by bus. That local train gets you in 18 minutes into Hamburg City. So, public transport is sufficient for me. Though there is also a Autobahn nearby. Generally connectivity is great.

In the inner city of Hamburg one can now rent bicycles and a lot of planning is now done to improve the whole bicycle co system. Even the port authority of the Hamburg port, one of the largest in the world, thinks about using bicycles - they are working on a 'master plan' for using bicycles in the harbour region:

Maybe... At least I've got the impression that on HN reactions are way more professional, I see people here actually listening to the arguments of others and that's the least you need to keep things quiet.

Most people here keep extremism out here anyway. Emotional arguments don't succeed to gain traction, you have to be factual and nuanced to gain respect here, and as far as I see blind extremism doesn't get that far.
Who, considering working their first startup job, can possibly end up in an epistemic state of knowing that their hard work will pay off? How could you reasonably end up assigning a confidence of more than 50% without it being sheer naked Lake Wobegon effect and overconfidence? If no one can possibly get rid of this uncertainty, it ought to be part of the unbiased review.
Great answer (by google engineer) to your question http://www.slideshare.net/padday/the-real-life-social-networ...
In Sweden (average 164 days/year with rain), there's a saying typically used by parents when their kids complain about the weather.

It goes, translated very verbatim: "there is no bad weather, only bad clothes". It's far snappier in Swedish where it rhymes, but I guess the point comes across, still.

Update: after reading a few more comments, I guess this doesn't address the other end of the spectrum, that it can be too warm/humid to go by bike. Score one for cultural bias.
Which Suburb?
There's almost no legitimate fear here. Kids are almost never abducted.

Maybe most parents will tell themselves it's just for their kids' safety, but what do you think will happen when Jane spends the evening at her boyfriend's house instead of going to her music lesson? Do you think most parents are going to pretend they don't know? Does it matter?

Jane is now living in a police state.
Yup, I was slightly surprised that it's not more widely known.
At will employment[1] gives you a lot of freedom when it comes to hiring and firing, but, there are some restrictions[2]. For example, you can't fire all the women in your organization just because you don't want any women working for you.

In practice, it's usually not difficult to come up with a legitimate reason to fire someone. For example, there is a whole industry of computer forensics consults who for a relatively small fee will "probe" (search the target's work computer and network logs for things that shouldn't be there) an employee to come up with a legitimate reason for firing them.

Oh in that case, I'd buy the book just for the foreword.
I don't worry about the privacy in the first place.

What I'd really worry about is what happens when some backdoor captures and sends your child most frequent location to someone else? (now imagine that someone else as a network of pedophiles or organ traders)

This is an iPhone app, I think it could be solved by using a specialized separate device (not connected to any other computer (including the Internet)).
Wait, you mean they didn't do a perl script to automate the downvoting ? With such a simple and regular downvoting scheme it shouldn't be very difficult.

They must hate computers too
It always meant "retaining backwards compatibility at the cost of deprecated names" to me.
Yeah, reddit started that way too. It doesn't last long.
If you have a decent waterproof jacket, sensible shoes and maybe waterproof overtrousers for when it gets really wet then even walking in the pouring rain is fairly comfortable.
In those days, you'd use FTP a lot. And Archie, a search engine for FTP sites. IRC and usenet also existed as popular ways of online communication before the web, and email of course ;-). Somewhat later Gopher servers came into being, and you could use Veronica to search gopherspace.
"what happens when some backdoor captures and sends your child most frequent location to someone else? "

Well I would think most people wouldn't be comfortable with any company having record of their kids locations all day, every day for years [1]. Why would any sane parent want to give away this data to a startup?

Parents who buy this app are crazy(imo).

[1]sure your cell phone service provide has this data but (a) that can't be helped (b) location tracking isn't their business and (c) they don't specifically target kids).
You should have looked in some more dictionaries. That definition is too strict.

Merrian-Webster:

fear and hatred of strangers or foreigners or of anything
that is strange or foreign

Dictionary.com:

an unreasonable fear or hatred of foreigners or strangers
or of that which is foreign or strange.

Yourdictionary.com:

fear or hatred of strangers or foreigners or of anything
foreign or strange

Cambridge Advanced Learners dictionary:

extreme dislike or fear of foreigners, their customs,
their religions, etc.
This happens with World of Warcraft, too. Someone makes an AddOn which enhances WoW with a great feature. Then after some time, Blizzard incorporates the feature in the base game, and the AddOn is obsoleted. I've seen this happen numerous times over the years.

If one of them wins a sum >=$25004, then I've succeeded.

Interesting, we have that saying in Germany too. At least amongst sailors from northern Germany. It does not rhyme though but is a direct translation. My wild guess would be that sailors brought it here from Sweden. Heh!
At least HREF makes sense. "Anchor"...?
It will deflect a lot of network-capacity-wasting opportunistic attempts if the masses don't even realise there's an SSH port there.
Hi again,

I don't think you're condemning us or anything -- I appreciate the honest feedback. Founders love people who disagree with them (at least a little bit :)) -- we much prefer to hear what's wrong with our products that we can fix rather than hearing about what we've gotten right.

I think it's perhaps a little disingenuous to suggest that kids lack the intellectual sophistication to evaluate the consequences of using our app whilst simultaneously suggesting that they are fully capable of evaluating all the dangers in the world that they inhabit: if they don't need the supervision of parents, then surely they can figure out what deal they're taking? If they can't make that kind of decision, I'd argue that they probably do have some growing up to do before their parents could responsibly let them leave their supervision.

I say that not only as an interesting intellectual puzzle, but also because we've spoken to kids about this as well as parents. There's definitely an age where kids really, truly can't evaluate what's going on. I don't disagree. What we've found though is that mostly parents don't trust those kids with the kinds of phones they'd need to run this software (even if we did port to Android et al). Indeed, I don't think we've spoken to anyone giving their kids a phone of any kind at age, say, 7, and these kids are under basically constant adult supervision. At the other end of the spectrum, by 16, kids know exactly what's going on, and they're of an age where they could have the kinds of phones they'd need for this.

I should point out that these are not numbers I'm pulling out of the air, but summaries of actual conversations we've had with actual kids.

The question is really whether there's an age in between where there's a legitimate need for supervision, yet they're responsible enough to be trusted with a phone, and where the children are wanting to start exploring the world and gain some freedom -- it's typically going to be the kids pushing to get more freedom, rather than the parents willingly thrusting those freedoms onto the child.

Our position is that there is such a transitional period, when a child goes from basically constant supervision to basically none, and that parents have a legitimate need to know where their kids are. It will vary for different kids and different families, but I do think that easing both parents and kids through that stage with an app like this is a net win for all concerned: if having this app gives parents the confidence to let their kids go farther afield, then we're accelerating the development of the child, rather than stunting it.

As for why YC is funding us, we ask ourselves that every day! :)
Well the main reddits have a sharp liberal bias. When people from other subreddits who don't conform to this view speak up they tend to get smacked down pretty hard and quick.
You'll find that a professional sysadmin (or DBA, or network engineer) is technologically conservative for the simple reason that he or she is personally responsible for uptime, and gets paged at 3am when there's a problem, and more than likely uptime is a metric that feeds into their bonus calculation.

That's not fear of change. It's the experience to step beyond the technnology and see the bigger picture. The company's systems aren't a playground, they are the machinery of production. Proven technology, even if it's "obsolete" according to the blogosphere, rules in this world. Calling such people names just betrays inexperience.
Another theory is that low calorie diet leads to longevity. Too many theories. :)
Eventually? Dude. Look around you, virtually speaking.
I think you are talking about this NYT column:

Because the app caters to an irrational fear while invading kids' privacy.
I think I learned more about elephants than relationships. It might have been because I couldn't get past the author's condescending tone and found myself wondering what the husband thought when he read his wife's article in the NYTimes. Did he notice how inferior she makes him seen? The non-witty the comparisons to animals just made it hilarious.

I'm young, I'm female, I don't have the answer to what makes relationships work, but thinking you are better than your partner isn't desirable in a relationship. My man lived a successful life before I came around. Hopefully we make each other better people, but nagging about shaving or talking down to them when they lose the car keys isn't how to improve your spouse.

edit: Am I just being immature and stupid and grouchy that I didn't get anything out of the article?
No, it's just descriptivist trash and proper use of the language.

More like, should've looked it up in the dictionary and found neophobia.

Intellectual laziness is not just cause for using words improperly.
> and thus consent by taking the iPhone and enabling the app

"You don't want us to track your every move? Oh, then you can't have a cell phone like all your friends and classmates. Sorry."

Calling that consent is purely philosophical.
Almost certainly it was a matter of traction. This is, after all, one of the main arguments for open source and owning your own code: You can run it as long as you want it, independently of market pressures.
This is worrying. Apple have a history of treating developers badly with the App Store. They might start enforcing that rule someday.
Who else thought 'cute, typical for Americans' when reading this? Somehow I have a hard time imagining families around me in Europe using such a service. The fact that there is a market for these kinds of apps is telling about US society and its approach to parenting. Really, wtf!? Just let go a little & let your kids run wild.

Also: how long until these kids start hacking the system: pay off some other kid to carry the phone as an alibi? Even better: reverse engineer the protocol & write their own spoofing app. Now THAT would be a good education.

Actually parents could buy the app, because it seems interesting; and then forget it and leave it there to run for years.

I mean from a marketing standpoint you can sell it, and sell lots of it, but if you educate your users by saying that "by installing this app you increase the risk that bad people locate your children more easily, and then possibly kidnap them", I would doubt they'll buy it.
The final sentence is key:

Unless we take our innate biases into account, the blessing of human reason can easily become a curse.

So take your innate biases into account. Familiarise yourself with them. Read books like "Predictably Irrational". Follow Eliezer Yudkowsky most excellent articles on http://www.overcomingbias.com/ (and read his awesome "Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality" at http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5782108/1/Harry_Potter_and_the_M... ). Be aware of those biases.

Your subconscious has biases too. Don't take its answers for granted - test them out. Practice figuring out what your subconscious is biased about, and correct for that.

Being a rational thinker is not about explaining/rationalising your conclusions, it's about using subconscious and conscious reasoning in tandem, being aware of the shortcomings of both, and building up to valid conclusions based on whatever evidence you can get your hands on (and acquiring more evidence where useful).

Finding a co-founder is probably harder than finding a life time soul-mate. Unless the union between you and your co-founder feels 100% natural don't even try it. I say that it is better to be alone than to be in bad company. In this case you might as well start the journey alone, if you happen to find a great co-founder along the way great, if not, continue the journey alone. To advise somebody to not start a company until you find a co-founder is bad advise. Good if you have one, not terribly bad if you don't.
In the USA, 'permanent' employees not covered by a union agreement are generally 'at will', which means the employment can begin and end for any reason, or no reason at all -- except for discriminatory reasons, based on certain characteristics listed in various laws.

The factors that can't be considered are 'protected classes':

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protected_class

So when a decision based on one of these classes could be alleged, employment changes/terminations can become riskier.

There's no right to continuing employment, or direct severance/buyout payments, as seems to be the case in some European jurisdictions. But when more of your employees wind up collecting state-administered unemployment compensation, your payments into that program escalate. (Anyone not fired for specific misdeeds is eligible for unemployment compensation, for a limited period, while actively seeking other work.)
I remember watching Billy Connolly doing a stand-up show years ago where he went on a massive rant about people complaining about the weather.

He rounded of his rant with the statement:
"There's no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothes."

To this day I consider that quote to be one of my all-time favourites as it really helps me smile whilst most people are depressed over the fact that it's cold and wet.
If you care about life or death situations, get them a SPOT. Even better: consciously bring them in contact with life or death situations & teach them how to deal with it. Go camping or something. But don't project your fears onto these kids & then use some technological feel-good crutch. One of the main failures of modern society is its obsession with fear. Don't contribute to that further by raising a bunch of pansies.
