Ask HN: Founders, how did you manage to actually get to work?
Ideas are easy - but choosing which idea to follow, then following it, remains hard. How did you choose, and then, how did you force yourself to execute?

Among my friends, I've been exposed to dozens of good ideas this summer, but no one seems willing to settle and just work on what we have in front of us. We're all always seeking "a new idea", and abandoning the tiny bits of work we've done so far. How did you manage to stop searching and just work?
We wanted to be based in one of the live music capitals of the world to be close to our industry and were torn between New York and London. It could have quite easily gone either way. Over the last few years Europe has become quite a strong place for online music (Last.fm of course, and now Spotify and Soundcloud), which is nice to see.

It's hard not being based in the Valley though and means a lot more travel if you want to close major distribution partnerships. You have to appear like you're based in the Valley to really compete for deals.

I wonder how the situation is today. Any new findings?
Bruce Schneier has written that patents are useless for cryptography. You can't trust an algorithm until a lot of cryptographers have beaten on it, and they don't bother with patented algorithms. Patenting your algorithm just dooms it to obscurity.

I made this after reading back through AskHN's to try not to overlap something recent. Then I posted it, and just down the newest list, saw "Ask HN: What stops YOU from starting today?", at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1613709

I'm concerned that these are awfully similar - if I get a downvote or a post of complaint, I'll remove mine. I'd still really like to hear responses, though.

Thank you all - I made the choice and chose specialist mathematics, and I strongly believe that this was the better choice.
At the lowest level biology is physics. And physical systems are not approximate, they are exactly what they are, and a small round-off error can give a huge difference in the specific outcome, even if on a macroscopic level that outcome might be indistinguishable from the 'real' outcome.

So the real question then becomes does biology tolerate working on an approximation of the underlying physics and does that simulated biology still have the ability to exhibit intelligence. I think the first is a maybe, the second a yes but I couldn't give you any reasons why other than that it might be that our biology needs 'its' physics to operate and that probably anything Turing complete has the potential to exhibit intelligence, regardless of whether or not we find a way to achieve that.
I posted "Ask HN: What stops YOU from starting today?" and then found your post and replied it. :) Dont think we are so similar. Although I think answering my question might help you to understand yourself better.
Well, then, is any decent idea really good enough? We tirelessly shoot holes in our plans, and lose motivation, becoming sure of failure. Should we just run with whatever our hands are on at some certain point?
Venture capital insanity... Or, why VCs do what they do
Yes, but the articles are all HN reprints. The added value is in the pdfs and I see no problem with them charging for that, it's a ton of work to make them.

I think the whole concept is very nice but the real value for me of HN is mostly in the comments on the articles, that's where I learn the most. So even after reading an article in 'Hacker Monthly' I'd like to re-visit the relevant entry on HN.
What is the best way to do categories you've seen?
If you have multiple groups e.g. football, tennis, cycling, make up, hair, etc - you can do it the old way of having a category header e.g. Sports and Women etc but it can be a pain for a user to find their specific group.

What is the best site out there which allows the user to find what they want quickly but without the pain?

I'm thinking spotify has a nice way of finding a track and finding the relative album etc via tags but i'm wondering about any others as well...

The Inevitable Eventual Consistency of Cloud Computing
"I'm sorry, but who said the current situation is network neutral?"

Err, that's exactly the point. Net neutrality already doesn't exist in a lot of ways, the Google proposal is seen by some (e.g. TorrentFreak) as an attempt to regulate something that can already be arbitrarily done in an unregulated way.

You can't take away a freedom or right that doesn't already exist.

I have my finger in at least three project pies at once, and can't choose which would be right to follow.

Then, school starts in 3 weeks. I have no money, and many expenses. There's so much that I feel I need to learn before I can do anything useful - I've never made anything big from scratch, and am only now reading about good program design. I should 'work on open source' first, or put in appreciable time at a large company first. I should pay off my growing student debt first. It feels like I only become motivated to do real work when I'm about to be pulled away from my computer.

Excuses spring to mind so quickly. I don't think I should be starting a company right now; I think I should finish this last year of school and then work until I pay off my debt while learning practically, then move to a startup hotbed and join a small group, and then I should be involved in starting a company.

Unless, of course, the 'right idea' strikes at the 'right time', and I find myself working with a tireless passion all of a sudden.

Meetup wants to be Facebook for the real world
Multiple groups of what? The question is vague, almost to the point of incomprehensibility.

Here's a model for you: Gmail. Gmail allows users to tag content (i.e., emails) with zero or more labels, and displays a list of labels. When the list gets too long, the user can decide which are always visible, and which are hidden by default. Clicking on a label shows all of the content tagged with that label.

Simultaneously, a built-in search feature allows users to find content by free-text searching (which is orthogonal to labels.)

This is one of those blog posts that appears to take longer to read than it did to write.

If the author were to take one of his 10 ideas, think about it for a few minutes, and then write a paragraph of insight, there might be something there. At the moment, we're left with a list of vague, poorly phrased bullet points, which is no substitute for an argument.
I, too, would be interested to know whether sites of that size tend to build their own email dbs in-house or find that anything available off-the-shelf is adequate (or make their own modifications to the latter).
what do you need to make it a delaware C-Corporation? any source or url?
I think the value-add is the editing and layout. Yes, you could find all of the articles online, but you would have to wade through several hundred articles of lesser quality, and it would not look as nice.
Oh jeepers! - definitely not work safe. My boss was pretty much directly behind me when "MOTHERFUCKING LASERS" appears on my 24" screen in massive letters.

This is the one time I'm glad the place I'm working is so backward web-wise, as the lasers didn't work - no CSS3 for me! - and thus my screen wasn't turn into even more of a profanity-emblazoned eye-magnet.

So thankfully, she didn't notice. Phew.
It's more likely that Checkout's limitations are due to Google's disinterest in the non-US world. This is just another consequence of that.
Very few great artists made money in their lifetime. The choice is simple -- be true to your self or sell-out. That's how it's always been. It's God's justice. Adam was cursed with having to toil. Money only comes from unpleasant activity. If you want to patent some idea that took you 5 minutes to think of... be prepared to spend time and money in legal persuits. You cannot beat the system. God made it that way.

If you do suceed when young, spend the rest of your life as a washed-out has been with none of the glory of your youthful success to recapture.

All you have to know in life is that God is just. You don't get something for nothing. And if you do, you probably won't enjoy it.

God says...
madest written walk Love Eastern needed maid Never beating
mortals inspired hasten work goading stirring star inhabitants
achieve discover murmur inactive Receive renderest Jordan
needful nought neglecteth

Don't listen to anybody sowing hate. There's no need for bitterness or resentment. The world is just. Trust that those who's money you covet paid for it or are paying for it.

For God's sake, there's a COMMANDMENT not to covet! There's not even a commandment to give to charity, but there is one to not covet!
As I said in another comment, if my 3G/4G service provider sold me the service as "X GB per month" without clarifying it can't carry voice or competing services currently it's unlawful and other companies affected could sue them. Or a class action for deceitful advertising.

Telcos want to have legal cover for that. That's new.

Well if your definition of "decent" is same is mine than YES! Any decent idea is good enough! Any! Just take it! And do it with dedication and love! And remember that long term plans are BS in our industry!

You kno for me the biggest fear factor was always competition. I remember how i was scared to start my first company. Back then I earned my first $100 or something by writing code. That was enough motivation for me to quit my well paid job and start a sw development company. I remember how i was afraid of competitors. There were thousands companies doing same shit! And I was no better in any means! Ffd 3-4 years it was business that make me what i call rich enough(not FU money, but still very well stable income and nice 5-digit bank account)
Now every time i start something new i still afraid of competition. Hey there is an app/site for anything in the web, how can I be better? But i always think about my own history, i think about facebook after myspace, google after yahoo, microsoft after ibm etc. If you are smart enough -you can do it, just start workin f..ng hard!

I had a teacher that used to say: if you don't (dare to) ask, you are already said no. This is the same with trying and success.

Though, going forward is also a chance of taking the route of another failure.

As for me, I failed once, after investing massive free time in a web project for 1 year. I built it, they didn't come. I recently decided to start over with friends on a smaller project that values manually added content over technical execution and design.

What gets me to work is: 1/ going forward is fun, 2/ not doing anything doesn't make things get any better.

It sounds that now is really not the time to start a company for you. Which is REALLY cool for you! Enjoy your life, school, your best years. Starting a company is hard and exhausting, and its never to late to do it.

I guess if you read HN you somehow feel guilty for now starting your startup :) Really shouldnt be the case in you situation. Enjoy school, get gob in big company (like Google, Apple), pay off debt quickly, then get job in startup, keep working within open source community, get some real world experiences. Maybe try yourself in sales or something not related to coding(was great experience for me). You will feel the moment once you have something that you really want to start for yourself. Good luck!
That would be nice, but whether two formulas are equivalent is undecidable.
Totally radical. I guess it's beyond our current technology by at least a decade. See the clumsy attempts at http://www.paulgraham.com/anybots.html
The issues with bringing a dog to work (and more generally, with raising a dog) are similar to personal hygiene. Some people raise a dog properly — you then get well-behaved animals that are a joy to be with. And some people just don't care too much.

Just as you can't generalize about programmer's hygiene (or can you?), you can't generalize about how dogs behave at work.

And BTW, raising a dog is a commitment many people should not undertake. It requires a lot of work and dedication. All too often people blame problems on dogs, while it is practically always the human who failed.
They don't put ads up on the text pages, so I doubt it matters to them. It's not like a free webhost where they're depending on you showing their ads to cover costs.
Interesting bit: "The most memorable point Kurzweil made was rather refreshing for me to hear him say: consciousness may be too subjective to measure. Sure, the Turing Test may let you know whether we believe an AI to be conscious, but consciousness itself may be immune to objective testing. An interesting concession."

Twitter's lead engineer on Twitter's scaling "In the belly of the whale (...)"
it actually was and is up for me, just loading horribly slow. The essence of this post is: "Windows suspend/resume may work just fine. Mac too. But Linux’s suspend/resume isn’t a buggy pile of crap. It’s an intelligent buggy pile of crap, that just wants to be loved."
Actually, this might be a result of natural selection. The beings that can be in 'the zone' have a higher probability of surviving and so they did.

Regarding the 'frames per second', I think just because your brain just hit nitro, it doesn't mean your eyes will 'see' faster. It just increases the information gathering ability of each 'frame' you see.

It's a joke article attributing the misbehavior of buggy suspend/resume on Linux to the kernel achieving sentience and expressing its desires through crashing (or not).
"We've already established what you are, madam, now we're haggling over the price."

USD$112 per year feels way too steep. That's on par with a subscription to the Economist, which is a) weekly, b) original, and c) one of the best periodicals in the English language.

If he can get that price, more power to him. But as a potential subscriber of --and an unpaid author for-- this magazine, I think the price is far too high for the value he adds.

"Atheist or evangelical, the more you talk about how others should live, the less anyone will want to talk to you."

Actually, this isn't true. This is closer:

"Atheist or evangelical, the more you tell others how they should live, the less anyone will want to talk to you."

In fact, his whole list is a list of how people should live... But he's not chiding anyone for not doing it. In fact, let's take it a step further:

"The more you tell others than they are wrong, the less anyone will want to talk to you."

That's the meat of the problem.
Yeah; I grew up as something of a dog person and liked/loved our general property dog plus my father's hunting dogs (short haired pointers, about the nicest breed in the world) that I took care of ... but within a quarter century or so I became allergic to dogs in general (not sure why, having had terrible allergies all my life).

This sort of thing sounds like something you could make work in special cases but could fall apart in all sorts of ways. E.g. I show up to interview at your office (at which time I'd immediately start reacting), and I'd have to say sorry, I like the office dog(s) but I can work here only if you banish them and seriously clean the carpets....
This is such a bad idea. There must be a reason the brain doesn't work at this velocity, right? I would guess it is way resource intensive and would end up with a fried brain.

I think the point is they've re-invigorated Analog computer tech, which is enormously useful for lots of AI-style calculations, like pattern-matching, fuzzy-logic, etc.
Software emulations of these alg's are traditionally far to slow to use real-time, so a hardware implementation could make this possible.

You will love Nicholson Baker's book "The Mezzanine", and Ian McEwan's book "The Child in Time". Both capture this phenomenon of the relativity of perceived time wonderfully.

McEwan's book will just eat at your heart. If you haven't read it I implore you to at least read the first chapter.

Of Baker's book, Wikipedia says: "On the surface it deals with a man's trip up an escalator in the mezzanine of his office building during a lunch-time sojourn from his building. In reality, it deals with all the thoughts that run through our minds in any given few moments – if we were given the time to think them through to their conclusions"
