Yeah, it's an interesting design challenge. It seems like "design a SoC that performs exactly like discrete chips connected by a bus" is a task that'd have a lot of sneaky pitfalls. Partly depends on how close "exactly" has to be.
The fun in driving a sports car is all in the handling and improving your skills as a driver, not necessarily in raw power.

I drove this little thingy for years: http://pics.ww.com/v/jacques/cars/copen/dscf1074.jpg.html , 700 cc, not even 80 HP and an absolute hoot to drive. On the straights not the fastest car (about 175 real km/h), but very quick of the mark because it's so light and absolutely unbeatable in corners.

It's also RHD which helped a lot in not having it stolen.

Most fun I've ever had driving a car.

I devote a fair amount of time to indulging my idle curiosities in gbooks, and it takes a lot of work and more than a little luck to find anything useful. It's a total mess. Great resource, but nowhere near what it should be.

I'm glad someone is drawing attention to the irresponsible sloppiness.
My guess is that you're seeing two opposing effects balancing out. More grants are needs based buy wealthier people are more adept at navigating the bureaucracy and applying for awards they're qualified for.
This is a great comment. Thank you.

In startups, typically the founders have to play the product manager role - their biggest responsibility being converting the ad-hoc complaints/feature requests into a workable product roadmap. PMs must have regular conversations with customers, engineers, and sales team and filter all the input from these sources.
The impact is more of what you make it. My girlfriend is not technical at all and can barely use facebook. She has become my "usability expert", it's an awesome way of keeping her involved and she catches a good amount of my nonsense.

I definitely get your need to be understood, but leave the business side to your co-founder. My reference experience is that if somebody doesn't ask about your startup, they don't need to know.

For it to work at all, each user would have to have a different URL for each group they were in.

Along with nearly every other SSO solution short of LDAP, OpenID infuriatingly only authenticates the username — it provides no means whatsoever for context about the user, much less group membership.

Brad Fitzpatrick (the creator of OpenID and founder of LiveJournal) has been working on a new protocol called WebFinger to add context to usernames, but so far they've avoided trying to codify a mechanism for group membership.
Well, figure that game publishers will have some of their animation/game timing routines keyed to the specifications of the original model. If the new one has more juice and programmers start taking advantage of it, Microsoft would probably get the blame for those titles' failure to run well on the older models.

I was actually surprised at how smoothly Sony managed to phase out the ps/2 backward compatibility (to lower costs) from the PS3 after the first year or two. i guess it helps that you can pick up the older console for something ridiculous like $75 if there's some classic old title you can't give up. Incidentally, word is that development has already begun on PS4 games, so you know what to ask Santa for in 2012.

You're basing your assumptions on a broken premise. You're clearly not browsing normally, but rather are crippling your browser in some way, after which you decide to bash whatever you can, without clearly identifying your methods.

As I mentioned earlier it's at the developer's discretion as to whether they want to enable JS degradation or not. Sometimes when an application is sufficiently complex a developer may choose not to, or not have certain actions map to links.

You shouldn't base your assumptions on one implementation, but rather, read what the technology claims to do and then try it so you can actually see, rather than just slash and burn.

It's people like you that really make me wonder whether we should even continue down the standards based route, or continue to support text-based browsers, as mentioned in our latest blog posts http://dev.noloh.com/#/blog/, or http://dev.noloh.com/?/blog/ for you. Not a single client or user has ever asked for such features, but we always get complaints from the die-hards. So we work and implement it, to what effect? Next you'll complain that some app that uses NOLOH doesn't do XYZ. There's nothing we can do about that, we can't force users to upgrade, or implement a feature, we can only offer it.

Clearly it doesn't matter what we do, or how compatible we try to be, you won't care, won't listen, and won't actually try it.

> figure that game publishers will have some of their animation/game timing routines keyed to the specifications of the original model.

Any game programmer worth his salt will stay away from that though. Platforms change over time and the raw speed of a platform should not be something you tie your animations to. That will already backfire when there's more or less active objects in the game.

A more common approach is to tie the animation to the display frame rate by locking to the vertical refresh.
Empirically that doesn't seem to be true for many areas of rock--- there are singers singing "wrong" with no surgery for 30+ years. Note that she incorrectly predicted that Ozzy Osbourne would have a short career based on the way he was singing, when in fact he had an exceptionally long and successful one.

From an artistic perspective, in some areas an operatic-style voice is just inappropriate. Operatic vocals on a punk band might be an interesting novelty, for example, but it's not usually what you want; you usually want something more like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGjk1Y_j8QE

(From that perspective, metal was a fairly good choice for this interview, because operatic vocals are often appropriate in metal.)

By "The Rules" I think we mean an accumulation of techniques and practices developed and refined by many people over time because they have proved useful. If one has any interest at all in the ones art one will surely be aware of its history and of what others have done. How else does one become interested in the first place? In this respect some awareness of this heritage seems to me to be unavoidable.
I bug reported that in horror. It's optimised now.

I just tried it out a bit and I must say that I think it has potential.

Small change I recommend: make the "Add photos and post" button more visible. Now you have to put the cursor in the post field for it to become visible.

I wish you all the luck.
I think most people (myself included) feel that context here is important and deeply philosophical. If Reason indeed reigns supreme, who or what are Its subjects? Is it Love, Emotions, Experience, the Senses, etc.? But then what would reigning supreme mean? That Reason is (say) more aesthetically compelling than Love? But what would that mean? You get the idea... this kind of question is intrinsically rather vague, though not necessarily worthless (at least to me). It's a topic more amenable to long essays and treatises than to polls. (Still, see http://philpapers.org/surveys/results.pl .)

If your intention was, however, to restrict your question to mere humans, it should have read something like, "Are human beings eminently rational?" But I doubt that was your intention.

I think what Google is doing is fantastic, despite these problems. Some of the sloppiness is a byproduct of the attempts to automate the book scanning and metadata gathering. This has got to be a hugely expensive undertaking, so I can understand the shortcuts to reduce cost.

Until this gets cleaned up, what then, is the fallout from the metadata errors? Researchers will have to verify publishing dates and use other means of search for period pieces, but they will have access to historical texts over the internet. That's still pretty awesome.

I would go as far as to suggest that mentioning python in this manner (in this community) would in fact be geekier, thus merit a higher score.

Not sure about ruby, but would venture that it wouldn't make much of a difference on the scoring...
In music in particular, I often don't find this to be true, at least for my personal tastes. A good proportion of my favorite musicians are "outsiders" who went directly into doing unconventional things--- Roky Erikson, most punk bands, most grunge bands, etc. There are a handful of folks with formal music training (Bad Brains had jazz training, although it's only recently that's counted as "classical" training), but they're fairly uncommon.
Thanks! This was a preview version to get the site out and bang at it. We have a new version that will address a lot of these interface on ramp issues.
To be honest though, farmers in Europe go on strike and pour out their milk or throw out tomatoes every couple of months. They've been spoiled by economically insane price support and import tariff policies, and don't (maybe refuse to) face the economic reality that agriculture in Europe can't compete globally.

So yeah Aldi does put the squeeze on its suppliers (as it should), but the agricultural sector is not the best poster child for that.
SCRUM ... all irrelevant unless the software we're building meets the needs of those that are using it.

That statement misses the entire point of Scrum. What are those short iterations for, if not to get feedback from those using the software? Why replan at the end of every sprint, if not to know how user needs have changed and been informed by the current software?

How is the readme so different from the sprint's user stories? Working from the desired end docs looks like another version of the currently fashionable "pull" methods. Not a bad one for a particular kind of project though.
They're taking after the RMS school of linkbait PR — a mix of activism that's too earnest for all but their most strident supporters and neologisms so punny that even your dad would groan at them.
It doesn't necessarily have to go back centuries, though. If you're doing rock, you might be intimately familiar with the past 50 years of rock, punk, metal, post-punk, grunge, etc., without having a clue about opera.
I really liked Inception but wanted Mal to be right too. There is a similar film called Avalon which isn't half as entertaining:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0267287/

However, the ending in Avalon is mind blowing and makes the film worth seeing.
Trader Joe's is pretty clever.

I go there and there are about fives things I want and which are good deal. Then there are ten things I'd buy if I was in a hurry and are only a good deal if want I to pay premium for processed stuff. I get a good deal there but I suspect most customers throw down a lot of money for convenience that isn't cheap or healthy - but I suppose that's what they want.
I know. I know. It isn't endearing when RMS or the FSF do it either. Turns me off from supporting them in the future.
That's good advice for when you can't find any dirt and there are a bunch of coffee grounds lying around.
I often need the very specific tiny bits of information that is trapped between pages of paper stored in some library somewhere. Today I need to fill out forms and afterwards wait days/weeks to get that information delivered to me.

The thought about all of the necessary resources for this (paper, transportation, storage, etc) makes you almost feel ashamed, because most of the time the amount of desired information is very small.

I would love to abolish this waste and have a service payed for by a flat rate that gives you access to all books, papers, phd-thesises, etc by keystroke. The service should not be completely free in order to maintain the incentive of writing well structured books as way of personal income.

Whether it is Google Book Search or something else, I think humanity definitely needs something like a global digital library.
Let me make sure I understand this: The supposition is that if you take your millions and put it in a money market account you're not going to earn enough interest to offset inflation? No kidding. How about putting your money into something that makes money at a much greater rate - like a business. Is your risk increased, sure. Is your potential profit considerably increased, absolutely.
> Similarly, if you manage a junior employee and they ask you about their career development, you can say what comes naturally and generally get away with it.

Somehow, the wording of that statement makes me reluctant to work for the author as a junior employee.
Because most of the people I've targeted have been small businesses who need a website, but after the website is built there's not much opportunity to sell more services. I do have a few customers that will give me more work in future, but most have spent their budgets and are waiting for their next financial year. I have some meetings this week that should drum up a bit more work which will help but probably not enough to keep myself afloat.
Braintrust seems to be more company and enterprise centric which is a great market to grow in. Dropbox doesn't have the social component, group feed, and conversation around the media. Soon enough we will allow people to upload any media type and share it with the group and perhaps partner with a dropbox or dropio around hosting and serving the files.

However we are going to stay focused on the socialization aspect of groups and try to address this notion of simple, private, and/or temporary. Definitely more to come!
That's a bit unfair to judge a recently graduated startup on its current face value. I am sure they have more under the hood a-brewin'. They already solved my pain indirectly for group travel - I was screen sharing with my friends and the layout helped us figure out a time much faster! I do hope there could be some sort of group travel exploration feature down the road a la chat or group search :-)

"Hipmunk" is a cool pun - it's a hip c'hipmunk' (or could be Hip Monk :-p) Either way, it's much more personified with the mascot (like the Reddit alien) than vowel dropping startups.
>> "If you think about it being funded by YC is tech news."

Only really if you consider them having more chance of success than all other startups. I think the juries out on that one personally.
From what I've read, Brits don't have the insane supermarkets we do here in the states.
I'm not sure vertical integration is something to be inspired by. In fact, it tends to create a variety of conflicts of interests, and anti competitive environments. Both effects are generally bad for competition and consumer choice.
"I have to go well out of my way to find a different branch of Sainsburys or Waitrose to get certain products"

Gah, too bloody right. The supermarkets aggressively target SKU's to demographics, and in the E2 . . E14 area, demos are all over the board. One time this borough qualified as one of the lowest per capitas in the EU, yeah, riiight, it's a cash economy, which isn't obviously getting measured, off the back of which Tower Hamlets gained vast supplementary funding which they used to create a hegemenous political enclave.

Oops, off topic there, sorry. For readers not familiar with this territory, you've got a social housing ghetto sandwiched between Canary Wharf and Liverpool Street, our primary banking districts. I use the word ghetto accurately i believe, because the census puts young immigrant families of a single origin at beyond 60% of population, this over a vast area and this group are in one bit of it, a group i assure you is not equally represented in banking or professional services.

Yup, doing the shopping here involves Waitrose at Canary, Tesco Liverpool St, Sainsbury at Stepney Green. Maybe i should make something out of it by doing guided tours at the same time, since that triangle covers half of the biggest district in the country . .

I'm on HN, and we're discussing local frozen chip shortages, and we can't solve them. Ouch!

trivia: local slang for neigborhood in the East End of London has always been "Manor". As in "i'm going to be on yer Manor later, mate". I wonder if this has anything to do with the fact stretches of Victoria Park and elsewhere were, before urbanisation, in fact private Manors, some created by Canal barons, who got land deals like Rail Barons did in the USA. See, that guided shopping tour idea might have something in it . .
I buy my consoles when theyre being phased out. The hardware is cheap and more importantly the catalog for the console actually exists and is usually significantly discounted too. No point buying a console early on when there are barely any games out for it. So in 2012 I will probably pick up a PS3 for ~$129.
Only slight hiccup is no one has an iPad. The chances of meeting a hot girl, who has an iPad, who is in your history class, are 0.

How do you own several thousand domain names without being a squatter?

Feel no shame about this. The period between 1980 and 1990 is unique in history in that no matter what form of music you identified with, you should be embarrassed about it today.

As a be-mulletted youth I owned every Iron Maiden, Dio, Judas Priest and Black Sabath album, and would happily play them for you at 140 watts per channel through the obnoxiously distorted subwoofer in the back of my Trans Am. (Seriously. T-tops, screaming eagle and all. It was bitchin').

Today, you'll find a nice black hole in my music collection from that decade. You'll find that same mysterious gap in the collection of the kid who had the Pet Shop Boys haircut back in '85. It was just a bad time for music and there were no easy choices. We did what we could, but now we need to move on.

You kids today don't know how easy you have it.
You just happened to be one of the lucky ones!
Technicalities and semantics. The only thing that matters is what I'm presented with as a user, and what I get when I use it does not look good.
I highly recommend BlueHost if you plan on buying multiple domains. Its $10/domain, and for ~$60/year you can host unlimited domains there. It comes with SimpleScripts, which makes it a cinch to install wordpress, which is fine for putting up placeholder pages (or hosting a blog, of course).

A few other sites offer unlimited domain hosting, but the other thing that separates BlueHost in my mind is their support. There's 24/7 live chat support; I can't tell you how many times its gotten me out of a jam.
The CPI index is highly "massaged" (looking for a lower than actual value). A better inflation measure would probably be compare commodity prices then and now (copper, silver, gold, oil, etc).

Of course that is compensated partly with productivity increases.

I actually managed to get lost in a new one, which serves the vast sprawl of nearly prefab housing stretching beyond Canary Wharf down to the Dagenham bend and beyond. Last i looked, there's no update of the views on Google Maps to shock and awe you that housing so many miles from any kind of center could be so close to central prices.

But, yeah, big supermarkets are rare. The trend has been to "corner shop" style stores, which is basically the supermarkets gaming the planning system ("local amenities, social infrastructure", erk) so they can game the prices (20% markup on same SKUs compared with their own bigger stores not unusual, but this is just another incentive for them to not keep SKUs in every store, as the Frozen Chips Lament supports)

It's like YC funding film producers — it's a mercurial content business, not something that can scale wildly like their typical investments.

I think they've funded at least a couple companies selling tools & platforms for game developers (analytics, ads, login/matchmaking, etc.), but I thought PG had an explicit distaste for this kind of thing. It doesn't seem like Koduco intends to be something other than a content production company…
