<looks over at MBP charge indicator>

Well, it's plugged in... I can tell because I see the plug in the computer. And it's charged because the light is green. Blinking light? Seriously?
You just perfectly described a 2010 Blackberry.
People don't need it, but I do anticipate that they will buy it. Nice.
+1, Didn't knew about this documentary, definitely going to order it.
> ARB_ES2_compatibility

Can anyone comment on this? What's the standard procedure, do I just write regular ES2 code and it's somehow automatically GL 4.1? Or what would I have to do? (OpenGL noob here)
But how much does the timing of the blinking light add to the cost of a macbook? Would it cost $10 less if it pulsed 40 beats/minutes like a Dell? Of course not. Maybe only Cornell students like yourself can afford such false dichotomy. By the way, did you know that the difference in annual tuition between Cornell and an excellent public school like the University of Michigan is three years salary for a middle class person in someplace like Mumbia, India? Is an Ivy League education really a requirement?
Conversely, it also encapsulates why Apple will never do well with a particular segment of its competition ;)
Ask HN: Why are tech conference/event prices so high?
I might be mistaken, but don't sponsors pay most of the cost anyways?
It would be nice to add the ability to install open social apps. I'd like to add my own custom Gmap application. Will fridge have any integration capability with open social standards http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenSocial ?
Who's interested in buying this data? Could you point me to some companies? It'd be helpful as I'm working on an analytics app, sort of.
No shortage of HN "hypotheses" too. :)

Hypothesis: Lisp/Python/Haskell/Ruby is the best programming language ever made. Evidence: PG recommends/PG criticizes; Libraries for X available/unavailable; Supports/Omits 1st class functions, etc. etc.

Hypothesis: You need a cofounder to succeed at your startup. Evidence: YCombinator funds/does-not-fund solo founder startups; Fail rate higher/lower for cofounder tech startups; etc. etc.
Jive SBS is great software, and as your say brings the Facebook collaborative model to business, but it is also absurdly overpriced unfortunately.
I wrote three comments and erased them all before posting. Let's try #4:

This thing bugs me in a greater sense than simply the issues or people involved, and here's why: you're paying this guy to petition his students to pay him more. Strip away all the (real) problems and politics and all of that, and you end up with some guy you write a check to who is doing his best to a) call you a slovenly idiot, b) get you to spend more on him and his projects, and c) use his position as educator to influence his students to advance his causes.

He may be exactly correct. I don't think he is, but whether he is correct or not doesn't matter. Even if he is 100% accurate in everything he says, it's a conflict of interest. We simply can't have people on the public dole who also are political activists -- even in their spare time. I wish there was some way around this quandary -- the military has higher standards but we still see them getting dragged into various political fights. We have scientists who are activists, teachers who are promoting dissent, and public sector unions who are playing politics with public funds.

Again, it's not that I disagree with their politics or efforts. It's that we cannot self-stimulate. The money that comes from taxpayers cannot be caught into a feedback loop to promote even more money coming from taxpayers. The people we entrust with various public functions cannot also be using the stature we give them to score political points.

The only exceptions to this are political appointees, whose sole purpose is to play politics and be party hacks. For the rest of them, I am concerned that this is a really bad thing that is only getting worse and worse over time. I really hope some of these professional organizations can come up with appropriate ethical standards. It's like I read the other day: it used to be that scientists told you what "is". Now they tell you what we need "to do". (It was accompanied by an interesting graph from Lexis-Nexis with the frequency of the words "science says we must" which is rising exponentially in popular media.)

Aside from the specific politics in this case, the trend here is not good at all.
Looks cool. Will await its release with interest.

There's no privacy information on your preview page. While I personally have faith that most people posting here on HN asking for feedback would not sell my email address to Russian gangsters, it might be an idea to address such issues explicitly.
I use DuckDuckGo almost exclusively for web searching, but admit I hadn't really thought of DDG as a technology play, either.
if their attention to detail is so good, then why are the edges of their laptops sharp as hell?

Definitely, I like the way it is written. I don't know how to describe it, but it feels like an entrepreneur wrote it. It has a feel to it.
If you prefer cheaper computers, buy a used one or two generations back model. Simple as that. Better than buying crap just for the psychological satisfaction of having something "new".

How should equity be allocated to employees in acquisition-oriented companies?
Not true, unfortunately. For example, creating objects and deleting them uses a different method (put instead of save). There are tiny syntax differences, also.

Not to mention the fact that designing an information schema for a SQL database is quite different from designing an info schema for a hash-table like datastore (which appengine has).
Did you get my email?
I tried it today, but it had a lot of bugs, almost every link I clicked something weird happen, now it's even down for quite some time. I guess they are fixing it like there's no tomorrow.

This is not good for the company rep. I mean, how can they launch a new version and the god damn thing it's crashing already ?

It's not hard to imagine a PC laptop manufacturer designing a light that moves side to side like a Cylon. In fact, this might even be a good fit for an Alienware laptop.
Maybe they could mimick the sharp edges on my wrists with some sort of blinking device.
Ask HN: A VC wants to talk to us, what to expect?
I've been working on a bootstrapped startup for about a year (applied but turned down for the last YC class). Like most founders, I think it is a great idea and I've continued to work at it because it's something I enjoy doing. Recently we've gotten some traction with a conference invite, some press exposure, and a couple of paying clients due to research we conducted and published on our blog.

Yesterday I received an email out of the blue from an investor at a large VC who is interested in speaking with us. I've never spoken with a VC and am a bit nervous about it. Could anyone tell me what to expect in terms of questions they might ask and generally how I might prepare for the call. Thanks!
I like that quote.

To be fair, on top of that, they're also really good at marketing. But their marketing is only effective because it has a sincerity--they're genuinely proud of the products they make. I bet you can tell when someone is trying to fake that.
Is there a way to remove our own comments?
I think that it greatly depends on the company and its needs. If you think that there is a great chance that someone will simply ape your code and use it to compete directly with you, it might be wise to hold back. If, on the other hand, you a likelihood of people getting involved and helping to improve the code, that might outweigh the risks. I'm not so worried about the former seeing as you're already competing against some very powerful players, but that's just me.

It really depends on whether you think that your algorithms important enough to keep secret, or whether you thing that an open source search engine would really add something.
A better technique is one where even if the spammers know what your countermeasures are, they still can't spam you.
The stats I think consider only the startups that were incorporated (if that's the right word).
This is interesting, but I hardly think it is unique. I would expect Microsoft to have done lots of work with their mice and keyboards. I expect IBM likely did simliar work when coming up with the ThinkPad (a 15 year old form-factor, which is still the best laptop form factor money can buy). Even car manufacturers have very similar types of research.

It's cool to see the patent, but from what I know of various people who work in usability, this sort of thing is not at all unusual.
When dealing with websites the GPL is almost a liberal license. There is no requirement for a server operator of GPL'ed software to share the code with the users of that software. If you want to copyleft the code and make sure ALL users of the software get access to the sourcecode, use the AGPL.

This is really well-done. In terms of suggestions ... how hard would it be to turn it into a jQuery plugin?
To date, I've concentrated on community as well, although doing so in my case is arguably more intertwined with technology. In any case, I wasn't making reference to DDG, just adding more color to the reddit decision.
Any evidence for that?

Yup, I was involved in hiring positions at a big company in London and had some of my candidates down-graded in the committee because the startup they worked at failed (thus they must be a failure).

(ok, you could argue this is BigCo thinking, but I don't think it would occur at the big companies here in SF/SV)

Also anecdotal evidence from friends who have been in this boat. Banks are especially cruel as it's all about 'being the big dog' and weakness and failure isn't tolerated at any level (ok, you could find that ironic given what happened to the bank industry - but it's hard to argue when you are the one interviewing. Plus most people in the banking industry still don't seem to accept they had any fault, grrr).
That's not an indicator that your computer is sleeping. That's an indicator that your computer is going to try and annihilate the human race.

(I think Mozilla has an oscillating status bar they use, which is called a "Cylon".)
In looking at my ThinkPad it got me thinking as to why IBM didn't blink at all. And I'm not sure, but I have a theory. I have other devices that blink to indicate that something is happening to them, and I always seem to catch them at the state when they're not illuminated. And, while this state only lasts for a second or less, I often get brief anxiety that something isn't charging or whatever.

IBM went with the constantly illuminated moon. I've never laid down to sleep to it, but its worked as a great, at a glance, indicator that the computer is sleeping, and not off or on.
Unfortunately, I'm not a VC so cant offer a response that'd do justice to your question. Most of the VC investments happen based on the team and little based on the idea (at least thats what I've read everywhere) - so I guess the founders impressed the investors enough to invest.

I'm writing my first job posting and really want it to stand out. Can you point me to some of your favorite listings or "/jobs" pages if they're still around?

There's definitely an art to writing good ones, and I'd love to see how other people approached the challenge of explaining what they're looking for and what they offer.

Fortune 500 companies tend not to use Pivotal Tracker, Git Hub, etc.

The money they spend is because they want custom integrations but that's not the company I wanted to launch. I wanted to build an 'off the shelf' dashboard you plugged in yourself.

And it is true that many startups don't care about dashboards - I'm surprised at the number I know who don't really have any visualization or tracking of their velocity, Constant Integration failures (if they even do CI), unit test fails, code commits, server health, etc.
drinking beer at work is overrated. There's only so much you can drink before you're too drunk to drive. Then you have to stay and do more work. That being said, free beer is free beer. Cheers!
Agreed. It seems to me that a lot of people assume that they can just reach their customers. For example, I deliberately try to make it hard to get in touch with me. I don't click on most ads (since they are almost never what I'm looking for) and I never answer promotional e-mail (unless it is personally addressed to me at which point I reply with a no-thank-you). If a company tried to reach me with their product they'd have to infiltrate places like HN and that is hard to do. So maybe the approach should be the opposite. Companies should focus on building a product they can market to people who will buy it and who they can convince to buy it.
In my experience, it's way worse in government (although that could be because they have large unions that protect the deadwood, not just because it's government).
So this seems to create some kind of market for counteracting technology - i.e. something that detects tampering, disables the gps device, or even just those mirrors on wheels with a handle that let you check the underside of your vehicle for foreign bodies. If there's widespread adoption of these kind of things, will the next step be a DMCA like thing where the police use devices that can't be tampered with, without violating some anti-circumvention clause?

It's a great idea, but no one else can use it. I don't like the fact of patenting even the frequency of a blinking led. It keeps adding constraints for competition, which is nice for Apple but I wouldn't celebrate it.
Funny, that pulsing light drives me nuts. If I'm in a darkened room with my MBP, I have to cover it or turn it to face the other way.

I don't think anyone is saying it's a requirement. Just a nice touch. Many people who work in technology are paid quite well and can afford to buy what they want instead of the bare minimum of what they need. I'd rather not be rude but since you went there why even buy a new computer at all? You could donate that money to one of those unfortunate places and feed a family for half a year.
If Apple had bought them, it wouldn't have been a "third party" platform :P
Ask HN: Any startups applying for YC funding using the Google App Engine?
I've seen a lot of startups using Rails, but are there any out there that apply for YC funding that are using something more enterprise focused for their application? If you've considered using the GAE and choose something else, what was the deciding factor?

Any blogs, articles or books I should be reading?

Yes: the social aspects, as well as a little bit of competition (perhaps contests/judging of answers/maybe even prizes) will be the selling points. Building the community will be your biggest post-launch task (and starting it pre-launch is definitely a good step).
Sure did. The problem with that type of post is they can often be a bunch of filler with a handful of "stating the obvious" bulletpoints. Heading straight for the bullet points lets you filter more quickly either way.
Faster is just one part of the whole experience. Buy a ssd and put that as your main drive in a mbp and you will have a faster computer and one that is aesthetically pleasing. The trackpad on the mbp makes it usable as a laptop without any peripherals. The fact that I can have my mbp sleep and wake with a reliability is one of the largest selling points to me. Every windows computer I have ever owned has consistently failed me on this point.

Edit: I guess I should make it clear that I am agreeing with you.

Like fleitz, my thoughts immediately turned to Sun as too much.

However, in a business environment, I don't think you should open source just for the sake of open sourcing (which seemed to be Sun's philosophy). Open sourcing has some potential benefits and some definite costs. Do the benefits outweigh the costs? Then it makes sense to open source. What I don't think we have a full grasp on yet is what all of the potential benefits are.

Regardless, I would never expect the community contributing code to be a realistic benefit. Even in a highly technical community, that won't come until much later, after the other benefits and costs have already made their impact.

This issue really is black and white, crystal clear, and very simple. I don't understand all of the legalistic bloviating. It all comes down to one question: What happens to me, a private citizen, if I plant a GPS tracker on a police car?

If the answer is anything other than "nothing," then brand-new police powers are being spun from whole cloth by this (lack of) ruling.
The biggest benefit of open sourcing DDG in your case is that it would be useful as research to programmers who are developing something similar (e.g. a search engine, wikipedia parsing, crawlers).

You might also think of extracting some common functionality into a project which could be directly used by programmers. That would also give you the chance to form a community.

Examples: Tornado web server (Friendfeed), Cassandra (Facebook), RoR (37signals).

Interesting background, I didn't realize Creative Lab worked on that campaign. It's certainly an improvement on Google's usual branding efforts and I totally agree that that's a better direction, but I think it still misses the mark in some ways. They want to pull on your heart strings, and yet the whole time you are stuck staring at a browser window. If the message was supposed to be human-centered rather than the Droid-style technology-centered, like "Your life is what's important, Google can help you", why did they stick the technology in your face for 100% of the time? Instead of showing the human side, it's almost like they unintentionally made an ad about fear of technology: you spend all your time staring at a screen missing real life. Who knows, maybe this is Creative Labs opinion of Google's culture.

This is unlike Apple's FaceTime ads, which also play on the same emotions, but that ad succeeds because it's set inside the human world. Facebook tried something similar with Places (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfX_ZQag1BM), trying to connect the technology with very strong emotions, nostalgia, etc. They did show a lot of real life scenes, but I think it also failed. They're selling the idea that Places helps you have serendipitous meetings with your "facebook friends", i.e. casual acquaintances you generally don't share those kinds of strong emotions with. It's completely incongruous for Facebook to try to brand itself around what are fairly private emotions that you usually reserve for only your most intimate relationships, especially after basically forcing everyone into public mode and declaring privacy dead.
