What does "No Result" mean? It doesn't seem to be explained on any of the linked pages, and makes no intuitive sense to me.
Taking money over the back of one that does nothing but good to me is pretty vile. I'm curious too but that does not temper my anger. The .ly registrar pulled a similar trick on a YC company and I thought it was just as vile. 6 figures (initial offer) from a guy that spends his time teaching people is absolutely outrageous.

But if someone takes you up on your interview offer I'm definitely interested, it should give a unique insight in to the psychology of people like this.
Global 2-child policy for the 'immortals' + colonize space. When people like Einstein can continue building on their knowledge and understanding for ~1000 years instead of ~60, I imagine we'd develop the science and technology required to colonize space at faster rate.

Any time people ask for C code to read, I recommend the OpenBSD userland. Between that, the outstanding man pages, and the thoroughly integrated memory protection (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenBSD_security_features#Memor...), OpenBSD is an excellent platform for C development.
why not #startups on irc.freenode.net? (thanks for setting this up, though)
Stanford prof in S.Ct.: Patent claims should clearly mark what's off-limits
Bah, I got kicked out. My connection here at school is really bad.
The video takes too long to get to the point. A better approach might be to sell the performance upfront very quickly, by having a video [ autoplay ? ] of a real user entering real text ie. 8pen on iPhone actual footage. Only then is it obviously worth the viewers time to go in more depth to see the explanation.

Im presold on the idea that there must be a better way - swype is one well known improvement. I dont need to be sold the problem, I need to see the solution working in a real scenario before exploring further.
For the US government, a community isn't nearly as important as having someone to blame. Same seems to go for a lot of companies, unfourtunely.
How many computers come with Linux as an option? (And how many still would if installing it wasn't significantly cheaper for manufacturers?)

As alternatives go, it's pretty established.

Also, while I know where you're coming from, Esperanto isn't a great example - Dvorak is just as expressive as Qwerty, it just doesn't bend your fingers up as much.
Private businesses and individuals can do whatever they want with their money.

The government instead is paying using taxpayers money.

Our process can take up to 1-2 months before people have full systems access and everything bedded down. I've seen some new hires have literally zero access for up to the first three weeks.

Sorry about that, had to restart the application.
So, looking back through my notes it turns out I just wrote things out much more frequently than I used the keyboard. Negating the legibility bonus.

Here's a page from my Signals and Systems class notes from '08

Interesting idea, I wonder if streaming sites like ustream, justintv, etc. will build this type of functionality into their services.
I like your optimistic outlook.

Cute..., and a good start to a UIKit visualization.

By the way, the methods you see in the diagram are to be implemented by a UIApplicationDelegate. Your UIApplicationDelegate class is usually laid out by default in new XCode projects. There are the methods currently documented by Apple.

I'm in a similar situation that you are in. The pros and cons I currently see.

Both:

Have a great company culture. Have awesome smart, employees and have interesting problems to work on.

Facebook:
Is a rather large company now so you won't learn as much. It does have extremely interesting problems though and does have smart people so you will learn a lot. However, facebook is most likely overvalued, so if you join facebook, it is highly unlikely you will get rich off of the stock.

Palantir:
Has one of the most excellent engineering teams I have ever met. They have the best team I have seen in terms of algorithmic problem solving ability. They have an awesome company culture and great perks. Whereas facebook is the current hot place to work, I could see Palantir being the next hot place to work.

The one major downside of Palantir is that they work on enterprise software and thus, the product isn't as cool to the general consumer. Most of the people on this thread have no real idea what Palantir does and just assume that since they work for the government, their work isn't interesting. You'll have to deal with this because truthfully, their work isn't well understood and isn't as sexy as facebook.
Interesting. I applied and I know that if we don't get in it is far from the end of the world. We didn't get in last year and our business has grown tenfold since then. It would be an amazing opportunity but not the golden ticket.

Do yourself a favor: stop worrying and get back to working on your startup.
It saddens me that you seem to have made this account just to say that...
My first two startup jobs were in the Canadian health and education sectors, respectively. As government responsibilities, education and health care are covered by provincial freedom of information and privacy protection (FOIPP) laws. They go by different names in each province; Manitoba's is known as FIPPA.

In general, the laws are pretty strict about not releasing information. Student and health information is not supposed to be available to anyone except on a need-to-know basis, much less made available publicly. Our product had to have an elaborate system of permissions to prevent instructors from inappropriately viewing student data. Even something as apparently innocuous as posting a list of grades matched up against student names or IDs is forbidden.

The laws aren't for show, either. Everyone I interacted with in the course of that job, from bureaucrats down to individual instructors, took FOIPP very seriously. FOIPP compliance was a non-negotiable feature, and FOIPP violation bugs were always highest priority.

Typically, instructors become aware of student disabilities when they are asked to make special arrangements, such as arranging assistant note takers or special exams. Anyone who reveals that information is breaking educational and medical privacy, and would be in for a world of hurt.

I'm not aware if there are special exceptions for information released in the course of a lawsuit, but I'm not surprised that the university reacted severely. They take those laws seriously here.
Good YC Applications, More Interviews
Oh, I'm quite excited. I'm not going to be able to top Paul's reply, though. Perhaps my only hope is to reference this old photo of the 3 of us (http://static.businessinsider.com/image/4c587f3d7f8b9a814a68...) and suggest that we get a semi-professional photographer and haircuts before we take the first hipmunk company photo...
If You’re Not Rich In America, You Are Fucked
What is the author's objective? This is a lopsided rant against an internet 'spokesman'.

I had an opportunity to talk with Shirky; he is so not the arrogant person portrayed in the article. Before mechanical turk,cambrian house,crowdspring came by - he 'predicted' (for the lack of better word) CrowdSourcing.
They won't though. You are asking people to choose between getting groped/irradiated and BIG SCARY AMBIGUOUS THREAT.

Most people are not willing/able to make the leap you have.
Continuous Feedback Game
I'd imagine that yelling at people causes unpredictable reactions. People lock up, cry, or yell back.

If you want to interrogate someone, get them to tell their story. Then ask them to tell it again, from a slightly different perspective. Then again. Look for inconsistencies - there should be a few (everyone gets a bit hazy on things), but not too many.
Programming FAQ (Python)
I'm done with my undergrad CS and Bio education (with a few exceptions), and now I'm working on the finishing up on chem--then it's time for grad school. My biggest worry is that I do not know enough physics... I'm hoping P.chem rectifies that.

For the next academic year I'm taking the following: Biotechnology, Physical chemistry, Analytical chemistry, Instrumental analysis, Biochemistry, Drug design, Cancer bio, and doing some limited original research.

My favorite books in the past were "Cell and Molecular Biology" by Karp, "Molecular Biology" by Weaver, and "Janeway's Immunobiology", all of which enabled me to read the primary literature and contributed greatly to how I now see the world. There are also a bunch of poor or suboptimal ones that are not really worth worth pursuing. Once you read a few good texts, jumping right into a journal of interest is highly integrative!

Perhaps this is unwise of me, but I haven't yet made note of any of the people that are doing the reseach I'm most interested in. Even if I did, I probably won't be able to do work with them at this early stage.

In any case, my hope is that I can spend most of my time coding and searching through the chemical state space and biochemical pathways with computers. I strongly feel high-throughput techniques are indespensible and need to be utilized to make the best use of limited, prescious time. I would still enjoy spending some days in the lab running assays as they can also be quite fun.
I don't know if you can edit the submission title, but the upcoming YC cycle is actually Winter 2011. I don't say this to be nitpicky, but when I first saw the title I was confused, and thought others might be as well.
http://ypchef.com is another one. We built the site for them. The owners are good people, but I haven't tried the food (they don't deliver to my area).
Tried it. Paid $200 to get three sales of $30 software. Nearly tipped a virtual cow in frustration.
I might consider that for AR, but at $30 LTV the economics of mail are just punishing.
You are right sir. Doooah
Hottest Stealth Startups
The one thing that the climate change researchers don't need is Osama Bin Laden on their side. That makes an already ugly controversy even uglier.
People like Lukacs need to find organizations that are compatible with their irreverence. Although merit goes a long way, academia is VERY political especially when it comes to making tenure decisions.

It's funny that you would say that, because it seems there are few environments better suited to people like Lukacs than academia. The way they see it: sure, the politics is a pain in the ass, but at least they're in an environment where they can make very substantial contributions to the world. The pain of politics is worth doing what they love.

Disclosure: my father is a very well known research professor in his field, who is always complaining about campus politics. "So why are you still there?" always gets the response, "Where else could I go to do this?" If you happen to know somewhere else, let us know.
How do people decide what language, platform, engine, etc. to use these days? It's articles like this that make me want to give up tech and start working as a musician or artist.
Why I Love JSON
Buzz had a lot of early problems but one thing I really like and use is that I can easily make posts to private groups of my contacts. So I have a bunch of people who want to hear about baby news and they are in one group and they are getting buzzes about the new baby and there are others in the professional sphere who get different ones, and I can choose to post privately to those groups, or to everyone or to make it public - and this is all an integrated part of Buzz. I won't / can't post this kind of stuff on twitter or Facebook (both being too public in different kinds of ways) so Buzz fills a useful and important niche for me.
In my experience, sitemaps aren't for URL discovery, but more for URL prioritization. Google will pretty much crawl you whole site whether or not you include a sitemap. Where the sitemap becomes important is whether google includes in the supplementary index or the main index. With a sitemap, you can specify a priority for each page and basically hint to google that some pages are more important than others.

Der Spiegel was modeled after British and American news magazines when it was founded in 1947 in post-war Germany (with allied approval as was necessary for all press at that time). The magazine is really very similar to Time, Newsweek or The Atlantic.
The UI from Google was little more than proof-of-concept. The ability to sync arbitrary data, not just chat text, on the fly is what will make Wave useful if it ever sees wide adoption. That really is the core concept and not chat, as many seem to think. It's not accurate to say that there's no core concept.
Google can't kill Buzz. They need to maintain the illusion of having some social networking strategy. It's better to have people scratching their heads wondering what Buzz 2.0 will look like than to admit you're hitting the reset button again. They didn't have to worry about this with Wave because no one seems to have understood what exactly Wave was or what it was competing against in the first place.
To play devil's advocate, especially in a situation like Khan's Academy, $3,000 will end up being a very small sum compared to all the benefit new users who may not have found it another way will derive from its existence.

I watched a close friend of mine log into her gmail the other day. To do so, she clicked the Home button in an open browser window and then typed gmail into Google. Obviously, this made my head explode.

But as someone who remembers trying to finagle Yahoo, Astalvista, and Excite into giving me the address for something I knew existed (let alone something I was trying to find for the first time), I'm indescribably happy that just about everyone with internet access can find what they're looking for 99% of the time on the first try.

Like you pointed out, things we used to take for granted as important in many cases aren't anymore. And the internet is a better place because of it.
Very surprised nobody has mentioned this: A Facebook internship, if converted into a Facebook job, can be extremely valuable if/when they IPO.

Of course, money isn't everything. Palantir has some extremely smart people (two of my friends work there, and I have a ton of respect for them), and seems to move at a pretty quick pace. Going there could be very interesting from both an experience and an ops perspective.
Monetizing Business Ideas
I'm also very jealous of options like Swype and now 8pen, but I'm fairly satisfied with the iPhone keyboard in terms of inputting individual letters. What I don't understand is how Apple thinks that their current auto-correction is acceptable.

Typing Japanese directly on a phone's numpad should be a huge pain, but the phones have for years featured very intelligent prediction that makes it so you can type much faster than English even though there are five letters per key (as opposed to three in English). The phones come with standard "dictionaries" and also learn your own patterns, so you rarely ever have to actually type more than one letter of a word. Based on the rest of the sentence, there are really only a few options of what could come next and the phone can figure it out from one letter.

Whenever I'm typing on the iPhone and end up with crap like, "Okay, then ill send you the file," I can't understand how something like this is acceptable in 2010. There is absolutely no reason the iPhone shouldn't know what I'm trying to type; even a simple grammar checker could solve this problem. A more sophisticated prediction algorithm could drastically speed up typing on the iPhone without changing the interface at all. If nothing else, at least stop making me type apostrophes.

I really hope Apple sees the vulerability in their aging keyboard and buys someone like 8pen or Swype so they don't fall way behind.
Sorry, that wasn't directed at you, but your post spawn my thought, so I made it a reply.
Don't forget:

This should be a madlib. I'll go first.

When your only competitive advantage is a [feature that lets you poke your friends], your outlook is not often described as "looking good".
Graph theory is applicable for exploring biochemical pathways, and all manner of statistics, ML, and metaheuristics are useful.

We can't "code" an organism, unfortunately. That won't be possible for some time. Venter has inserted a bacterial genome into a preexisting cell and called it "synthetic life", but this is hyperbole. He essentially just swapped out the operating system if you will. Both the genome and the cell were preexisting. This would be impossible to do for a eukaryotic cell with any of today's technology since we have extremely complicated molecular (genomic) machinery. Not to mention how much of our state information is epigenetic--precise methylation, etc.

We certainly cannot create novel proteins outside of fusions between subunits. Protein folding is just way too difficult to solve. If we ever figure it out, society will change overnight.

If you would like to study this, get some texts on cell physiology, molecular biology (genetics++), and maybe do some reading on higher level function. Like me you will see that your existing skill set is not immediately transferrable until you learn enough biology: you cannot effectively program in a language until you really know it innately. Biology is the same way, just much, much more sysemitized, complex and abstract. It has a very high barrier to entry (akin to learning Vim, but takes longer.)
Your analogy does not hold, as the guy was not prevented from doing anything. He was questioned, searched, and spied on by the FBI. As far as we know, no direct, material harm came to him.
One of the goals of this release was to make it as easy as possible to get started.

1) One line to install

npm install socket.io

2) Three lines two use on the server

var io = require('socket.io');

var socket = io.listen(yourHttpServerInstance);

socket.on('connection', function(conn){ conn.on('message', function(msg){ console.log('message from client', msg); }); }

3) Three lines to use on the client

<script src="/socket.io/socket.js"></script> <!-- assuming node serves the HTML too -->

var socket = new io.Socket().connect();

socket.send('my message!');
How to buy a Mac
Why only the one day? Isn't this similar to calls-to-action asking people to boycott gasoline stations for a day, which have no noticeable effect? Wouldn't a more effective strategy be to say that you will always opt out? If lots of people did that, the TSA would have to rethink their policies as eventually the number of people requesting the opt-out would exceed the manpower available to administer them?
I love JSON because there is a straightforward mapping from JSON to the data types supported by many programming languages.
And then you pay Amazon $6 for same-day shipping and get a crate of underwear all at once.
Another unmentioned aspect of this is Blizzard's involvement.

If this build is truly unstoppable in most cases, then Blizzard's balance team will simply nerf some aspect of Zerg to make it harder to abuse. For example, when the balance team determined that Reapers were too strong in early game, they made the tech required for them take longer to get.
Why is the text inside the document hard to index? Isn't that what Lucene/Solr is for? Not sure what you mean...

You just proved my point...if I have to install a standalone Java full-text engine running on Tomcat, I've already gone beyond what most forum owners can do on shared hosting.

Imagine searching through all posts on HN for the phrase "proved my point" anywhere in the post. There is no way other than iterating through all of the millions of posts.

For commonly-searched phrases such as "P vs NP", "scalability", or "rate my startup" you can create an index for faster searching, but it is impossible to anticipate every possible search, and in particular, long tail searches which can be the most useful will be the least likely to be indexed.
Logging out and not logging in again should work.
while there are assorted (great) Google developers and PMs using Buzz I haven't seen any senior leadership using it

Depends on what you mean by 'senior leadership.' Guido van Rossum uses Buzz and interacts with users there.
bin Laden has been fairly clear on this point: he doesn't think the United States should be involved in the affairs of Muslim nations. He thinks its an outrage that US troops are stationed in the same country as Mecca. There are other offenses on his list, to be sure, but this is the big one.

Sounds quite similar to this viewpoint: "In politics as in religion, my tenets are few and simple....meddling as little as possible in [other nations'] affairs where our own are not involved."
— George Washington
Technical choices are more religious than rational. Paraphrasing Bruce Eckel, the best language is the one that fits the way you think.
The link is not loading for me. So I can only guess how it was done. But here is how I would do it.

First as you proceed through the digits of a number, you know that after each digit you will have some remainder mod 7. And each digit changes that remainder. Now let's invent a piece of notation. Let's say that (n...m) is a regular expression that matches any string of digits that carries you from a remainder of n to a remainder of m without in the middle having a remainder that is m or lower, or n or lower.

So, for instance, (3...1) would match strings like '6' or '23' or '200', but not '242' because after adding the digits '24' your remainder is 2, which is too low for the middle.

Now with this piece of notation, the desired regular expression is simply:

(0...0)+

And (0...0) is not to hard to figure out. It is

(
0 |
7 |
(0...1)(1...1)*(1...0) |
(0...2)(2...2)*(2...0) |
(0...3)(3...3)*(3...0) |
(0...4)(4...4)*(4...0) |
(0...5)(5...5)*(5...0) |
(0...6)(6...6)*(6...0)
)

Taking just one of those pieces, what is (0...3)? It is just

(
3 |
(0...4)(4...4)*(4...3) |
(0...5)(5...5)*(5...3) |
(0...6)(6...6)*(6...3)
)

And so on. If you expand all of the pieces out eventually you'll come up with a horrible regexp without my invented notation that will test for divisibility by 7. (And nothing stops you from repeating that for divisibility by anything else.)
