but, overall, this is emotionally difficult work where you can sometimes feel like you spent a whole day and accomplished nothing. it's a lot like cold calling, and it's just as necessary/

Hmm.. I should have been more clear. My, not very well put, point wasn't with respect to developers available. Its allocation of developer resources. If I'm going to develop a mobile application I'm going to start with the platforms with the greatest reach.

Android, iOS, Blackberry, etc.
It's kosher now, as of Apple's recent changes to their developer agreements.
Too much complaining, just keep skimming the stuffs you find interesting and ignore the rest. why should you complain?
What problems do you have with Apple's Enterprise deployment solution?
It's clear that none of these services have quite figured out how to best price their service but it seems that CheddarGetter is the only reasonably priced option.

Why is it that they seem to be perceived as also-rans? With Chargify, you'd have to bring in $60,000/yr before they would begin to be reasonably priced. Completely unreasonable for a bootstrapper seeing if they have something that will stick.
Holding an upright posture requires exercise. It IS exercise, actually, which is why it is hard to maintain for a while. So for that aspect of the problem, one part of the solution == training, strengthening back muscles, yoga, meditation, etc. By this, I mean as a extra-curricular activity.

As for posture itself, there is no simple answer. The way you sit, the placement of your peripherals, how much time you spend sitting, these are all factors. In order, then, and in brief:

Rolling your hips forward pushes the spine up. This is fundamental, literally. Try a sitting position where your legs decline from your butt at a downward angle. Sitting "indian style" on a decline is a good place to start (or the "beaver" stretch position, with flat feet together. Obviously, your average chair is not conducive to this. ALternatively, you could sit on a pillow on the floor. You can sit with the lower half of your ass off a flat chair, with legs tucked under, but it is not the best for circulation.

Your workspace is all important. If you're a pro programmer, it's worth every effort to make your workshop (or command center, if you prefer) as close to some ideal as possible. For instance, putting your monitor above the parallel plane of vision is probably a big deal. Parallel plane = straight ahead. Ergo(nomically): you should look upward to your monitor. This will encourage your posture.

Again, since maintaining the position is actual work itself, it follows that your should take regular breaks, stand up, walk away (or pace), return after a few minutes, and get back to work. This also helps circulate blood. A programmer I work with espouses the Pomodoro Technique, which is a time-on/time-off regimen for deep cycle work flow. The effect is you set a timer, and follow basic rules without fail. It's also good for your eyes to to turn away from the screen every 45 minutes.

Bonus: breathing is life. Breathe deep for a deeper life. Regulate breath, keep yourself extra-oxygenated. This is good for awareness and staves off fatigue, which are critical for not recessing down into a slouch.
I just wanted to say that I take you at your word followed by a modest version of the interdiction below, but then I noticed your fine piece of corporate doublespeak of only allowing opt-out against mail from free users of your service, which allows you to show a pretense of trying to do the right thing while at the same time co-opting those concerned about your offering into providing arguments for up-selling your customers.

So I once and for all forbid you to include any of your tracking technology into any message that is sent or forwarded to any email address that I currently use or own, or which I will at any time in the future use or own. In addition, I also forbid you to collect, store, process or share any information related to any email sent to or recieved by me or any email account I can access, or related to any device or software I may use to access this mail. And no, I am not mad or gullible enough to tell someone so completely lacking in moral judgement as to even think about implementing a feature like that and then defending it in the way you do any information about my email adresses, to protect them against being sold to other equally dishonest email senders, or abused in other ways.
Who is richer: someone who lives in a fancy house and constantly worries about losing it, or someone who lives simply, has no debt, has saving, and can basically do whatever they want?

Wealth is the extent to which you can let things alone and still be comfortable.
Prophetic. Now that the prices have changed I think we are going to jump ship on principle alone.

Ahoy..
Another essay to read on the subject is "Attacked from Within" http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2009/3/12/33338/3000 .

I think the main reason is that communities grow only so big and then they turn into a society. Users recognized in a community will lose their recognition that evaporates into the mediocre society.
Pringle, i think it is clear what the OP means, what he should add ?
Their justification on Twitter seems to be that they needed to get rid of their free tier. That makes some sense, but that doesn't really explain why they double the price for their lowest tier and increased the pricing on their other tiers as well. It's unfortunate that they're increasing their price without adding any extra value to the product.
I learned about linux back in 1996 and tried LFS in about 2000. It helped me immensely in understanding what I'd been playing around with.
ugly is in the eye of the beholder :-) A logo well suited to the brand is better than something not well suited to the brand. I would argue, however, that a great designer could come up with a unique and closely matched logo, and you wouldn't have to settle for one or the other.
I lean back, put my feet up on my desk or the computer underneath, put my keyboard on my lap, and increase my font size till I don't have to strain to read it. :)
Now with the new pricing we are 'free agents' looking for a recurring billing platform. I really wish I had more information re: FreshBooks...
well you had to have a colorimetric assay, which might not be so easy for a DIY project. We were testing alkaline phosphatase activity, which generates a yellow color with paranitrophenol, but only when you put a lot of stubstrate in - actually outside the michaelis-menten range (enzymologist cringe). There are other things you can test, like phosphate concentration using malachite green... But the real limitation is what's a reliable visible colorimetric assay. It's also not something just anyone can reliably do, you have to be trained in how to use a pipet, etc, which is possible for a dedicated high school science lab, but might not be for just anyone to do without specific, supervised training.

One of the other problems was I couldn't figure out how to do nonlinear fitting in perl... The RGB density:concentration was a polynomial of order -3/2 (IIRC) Got too lazy with proprietary mathematica fitting to figure out how to do it myself.

If you're really looking to do real-time floating sensors (which I suspect is overkill) you wouldn't want to use what I developed... I bet I know people who might be able to help though, that sounds like a real project with a real need.

Make the old customers part of a 'legacy' tier which allows them to continue to pay the same and receive the same, but don't allow new customers to join that. Put new customers in the 'fancy shmancy' tier and allow old customers to migrate there (with price increase) for whatever new features you are adding.

It's still going to be a bitter pill for the old customers, but it IS better than saying "Sorry, you gotsa pay more now! Suckers!"
I think the opening is a statement about how the art is taken out of the modern simpsons by the way they are produced. The links in the opening are the asian workers and the sadness in their depiction. This fits with banksys regular theme about the value of art and its opposition to commerce. Subtle enough?
The vast majority of startup employees don't (and never will) qualify for secondary markets; most (all?) of the companies being traded here are IPO-quality already.

Startup employees shouldn't be joining companies in the expectation of being able to sell private shares.
Meh. This was a nice anecdotal story. But, I was expecting more of an extracted lean/agile process from it though. I'd like to know how you could apply such techniques to build devices like this: http://www.picarro.com/gas_analyzers/ch4_h2s
Government spending is not stimulative, because the inflation (or taxation if it is paid for that way) is detrimental to economic growth, as you have pointed out.

The fear of deflation, however, is misguided and I think founded on a deception. I'm not sure the deception is intentional or not.... but politicians certainly benefit from it because it allows them to get away with more inflation.

Deflation can happen in two ways. The first way is that there simply are no customers out there and so businesses start lowering prices desperately to cut inventory because of inventory carrying cost. In this age of just in time manufacturing, there is less of a risk of this... This is a bad situation and we can call it desperate deflation. But this kind of deflation is due to a serious structural problem in the economy, and it is not solved by monetary inflation. Keynes believed it could be, helped with short periods of monetary inflation, but nobody is actually following keynes prescription (Which calls for the government not running deficits and for the inflation to be absorbed when good times come back, which is effectively monetary deflation in good times.) Anyway, this "Bad deflation" is very rare, and is a symptom of another problem.

The other form of deflation is the increasing purchasing power of money. This can happen in a robust economy, in fact it often happens in a robust economy. Imagine a country on the gold standard. The economy is growing well, but gold is coming out of the ground slowly (which it always does) so monetary inflation is low, while GDP growth is high. This means each year a given amount of gold will buy more stuff.

Businesses make more profits, even as they lower prices, consumers can buy more for a given amount of gold, and the economy continues to grow, in large part because prices are going down.

This is a good thing, and in fact this is the natural state of affairs in a free market, because productivity increases are always being created and technological advances are always being discovered, which means every decade the efficiency of the economy should be going up creating an increase in purchasing power.

Governments, on the other hand, operate by promising programs to people in exchange for getting power. These programs are often not well managed because they are not subject to market forces. Further, since government has turnover of less than a decade, there are constantly new faces who want to make a name for themselves with new programs.

Goernment thus has a strong incentive to inflate (because taxation is politically dangerous) to pay for these ever increasing new programs (they can't cut old programs because that's as politically dangerous as taxation.)

Thus the governments spokesmodels (like Paul Krugman) are always pushing the idea that inflation is good and deflation is dangerous. Though it isn't difficult to see why the opposite is true.
If you are in debt at fixed (or capped) interest rates, then inflation is good for you, since your income goes up while your monthly payments do not.

If you depend on a fixed nominal income, then inflation is bad for you, since the prices of everything around you go up while your income does not.

I think poor and lower-middle-class people are more likely to be in the first group than the second.
My solution to this problem wrt cars was to buy a low-mileage used BMW off lease and learn to replace my own brakes (highest cost routine maintenance task). I'm making use of someone else's wastefulness (the previous owner) to subsidize my fancy car ownership, and paying less for the car than I would have paid for a new Ford or Toyota.
When unsubscribing from an email service most people would expect to get an email saying that you have successfully unsubscribed.
Good to see Banksy going legit, maybe he can contribute to cleaning up the vandalism now.

CC, EXP and CVC as well ?

Without those you won't be doing much in terms of migration.

Other than contacting the customer, figure you'll lose 75% or more of your business that way.

I think it's more subtle than it lets on. The message wasn't "the simpsons is produced by sweatshop labor" which of course isn't true. Because if it was, this intro never would have aired. By joking openly, "we use sweatshop labor", they're really reiterating that they don't.

The real message is "think about where your consumer goods come from". Which of course isn't the most original or controversial statement in the world, but the context makes you pay attention, much more so than if it had been direct, like a documentary. I thought it was a clever, self-deprecating way to bring up the subject, and a great use of context.
Ask HN: Iphone Games, who's made em? 
So I've had several Iphone games/app Ideas in my head for a while now. I've done a little research and have looked into what it will take to develop them.

I'm not looking to become a millionaire off of these, but would like to generate some monthly passive income.

So who here has developed their own apps? how have they done? I remember seeing a post where some people showed off their work, but couldnt find it again.

I'm not a developer so I will be outsourcing this, what should I expect to pay to develop a simple game/app? I've been looking around on Odesk, Elance, and Guru. I'd like to start with a simple game to learn how to market and then develop more if it does well.

HN has become an awesome resource, even for a non technical person like myself.
I actually tend to mark that SPAM if I get an email after I've unsubscribed.

One aspect of the Windows phone that may be a big hit in corporations and governments is whole device encryption. PGP (now owned by Symantec) can deploy strong encryption to these Windows phones. Apple has always been difficult to develop for in this area (lots of frequent changes ISP can't keep up) and they tend to advertise to home users and I'm not sure about Android's whole device encryption ability.
Pretty sure you're dead wrong here. I am in the target market, and I'll still make money using Chargify, but it took me two years to get where I am. Starting from zero today, Chargify would make absolutely no sense to even consider.
PS. Thanks for the help!
The only issue here is if the process of subscribing had them to delete their account, which it typically does. Then if you offer them a free month... it gets tricky, because they'd have to start with scratch. Therefore, you've got to catch/offer them something midway through the delete process.
I heard from a former Windows team member that Source Insight was popular a few years ago, but things have probably changed.
Amazing post from a rising star in digital media entrepreneurship. Comprehensive, balanced, and fun.
At Recurly, we did roll out new pricing in May of this year, and immediately received a lot of feedback from our users.

We then modified our pricing plans again in July to reflect their feedback, and grandfathered existing users in, if they so preferred.

Dan, I wish I could work with you to change your opinion of Recurly. I'd love to talk to you about your experiences and see what we can do to make it right.

What does your article add to this discussion, Jacques? I mean, besides points to your karma score? ;)
There was a time when Mr Krugman was worth a read. That time ended a while ago. Now his writing is a constant stream of attacks on those who disagree with him. This latest is a new low when it comes to seriousness.

His current argument is that there has been no recent expansion in federal government spending. His logic is that federal money given to states should not be included in federal spending figures. Too bad the debt holder won't agree.

Don't know about you... but rent control is great... IF you can find a place. I am paying way more than that because I found mine second hand off blocket. Probably varies by region a lot though.
It really depends what you mean by highly successful. I doubt that there are many successful mathematicians that missed more than one or two questions when they took it. I also doubt that there are a lot of professional athletes with perfect scores. If what you mean is "rich" then, well, athletes make a lot more money than mathematicians.
By general forums, do you mean forums that allow anonymous posting (versus requiring an account) or do you mean sites that have a broad topic (versus a narrow focus like HN)?
[EDIT: Parent is dead. It was saying that the quality on HN had declined lately, and asking whether anyone agreed.]

This is an interesting comment, because I was just now thinking to myself about the unusually large number of really fascinating, informative, or thought-provoking posts that had appeared on HN lately.

Like the one about evaporative cooling in online communities.

And the one about autistic children and their lies.

And the one about getting rid of "Cancel" buttons.

And the one about ethics at HP.

And the one about not sacrificing partition tolerance.

And the one about saving local newspapers.

And "Memoirs of a Bullied Kid" and "Tomatoes and Election Season" and "New language Identified" and "JPEGs with Alpha Channels?" and ....

Now, none of these (except maybe the first, a little bit) is about startups. And certainly none of them mention angel investors. I consider the latter a terribly good thing, although I can imagine that many regulars here would disagree.
good call - working on that now :)
Cool product, but how do you deal with privacy issues ?
This is the best approach. I already wrote about that in my blog (I called it Continuous Improvement) and for me it is also the most effective way to deal with side projects (like, say, improving my blog ;)
Chargify isn't really a revenue driver, much love, the people that spent freaking hours integrating with chargify to have a bait and switch pulled.
How about the older poor and middle class on fixed incomes. Inflation will destroy their buying power (Though it may make social security less insolvent).
Wrong. Here is why.

Let's say you're poor, and spending 90% of your income on day to day needs. Versus if you're rich, and spending 20% of your income on day to day needs.

a 10% inflation (absent corresponding wage inflation - which lags, but I'll omit it to keep things simple, the numbers have been rounded to make the math easy anyways) takes the poor person to 99% day to day and the rich person to 22% day to day.

That represents a 90% decrease in ability to save or pay off debt. Versus the rich person who has lost 2.5% ability to save or pay off debt.

Now. With a 10% inflation, your real debt burden has gone down 10%. Would you trade a 10% loss of debt burden for a 90% loss of ability to pay off the debt? I would not.

Who is it that has promulgated this myth that inflation is good for poor people? I keep hearing it everywhere, and it appalls me that no one has really stopped to think about it.
Just a note that Recurly did this exact same thing several months ago, though they've since changed their prices again. We were literally 1 day away from launching on Recurly when they changed prices. Spooked by the sudden price hike, we spent a good deal of time re-writing our ecommerce on Chargify. And now this. Maybe it's time to just bite the bullet and roll our own solution.

Spreedly doesn't provide the same functionality, but it's great if you just need a basic recurring payment solution without the frills or deep API integration.

I haven't worked with CheddarGetter or BrainTree directly.

Hey all, we've gotten a ton of feedback through Twitter, emails, tickets, and a few phone calls. Plus we interacted with a lot of people over the past couple of months.

All of these inputs are coming together in a smaller plan we're releasing for existing merchants. Details will be out soon on our blog, via Twitter, etc.
Exactly! The more you think about it the more brilliant it gets. Like the Babel Fish argument against the existence of God in the Hitchhiker's Guide:

The argument goes something like this: "I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."
"But," says Man, "the Babel fish is a dead giveaway isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED"
"Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.
We can actually revive a deleted account.

Yes, there is definitely a concerted effort to get rid of URL shorteners.
You can predict the response based on a similar move made by Zendesk back in May (http://techcrunch.com/2010/05/18/zendesk-pricing/). Spoiler alert: there will be backlash.

It also strikes me as a dangerous strategic move. The reason I originally selected Chargify over competitors like Spreedly and CheddarGetter is because they had the lowest entry cost. I can experiment and find product market fit. By that point, I don't care so much about the monthly cost (and I'm locked in to a product that I like, which helped me reach my goals). The new pricing model is extreme enough to make me revisit the decision. I'm sure I'm not alone.

I find their product and support to be great, and I'd like to see them keep a similar model. Maybe they should lower the thresholds (free up to 10 paying customers, for example). I'm sure there are other models that will work for them and their customers.
