We'll set up Facebook Connect for those that don't want to register directly. Reason we don't have anonymous demo page yet is that it would take significant work to get the data to port to your actual account if you choose to sign up. It'd be a bad thing for someone to spend 10 minutes entering data into the demo and then lose it on signing up. We actually had that before and it was a problem.

We want to do this, but for purposes of launching more quickly we haven't done it yet.

I bet "streetlights" is referring to stop lights, not the streetlights along a road.

even still, the point is valid. why do people wait until the day to call and complain?
I rarely watch videos like this; if I'm in a shared office environment I don't want to distract others around me. If I'm at home I'm probably browsing while my family watch TV so again, the noise of the video will be distracting. Without anything on the page to make me think it's worth reaching for the headphones, I'll move on.

Oh, I like these suggestions. Yeah, tagline should change. Perhaps we'll use "Organize things the way you naturally think". Need to put more thought into this.
I hear similar stories of editors not getting something important like that. What did he want to do with it, and what did you say that got him to grok it and leave it alone?
I would go one step further than that. It seems to be a common response here that simply asking these questions indicates he has a problem. I've noticed that "treatment" types tend to have that response to all people asking questions about their personal drug use. The obvious result of this is that fewer people seek advice. They'll learn the typical reaction is, 'if he's asking about it and he's thinking about it, he's probably an addict.' That answer isn't helpful and it isn't intelligent. There should be some measurable standards of addiction. How you feel about it shouldn't be one of them.
Point most definitely taken. We're going to put up a few descriptive paragraphs.

If you are trying to sleep more by sleeping in, that will happen. You need to wake up at the same time every morning and practice good sleep hygiene. If your body is used to waking up at 8AM most days and you try to sleep until 10AM, it will resist. Given that you say you go to bed at 4AM I imagine your sleep schedule is all over the place - that just won't work.

30 minutes of cardio every other day has done wonders for my energy levels, but I sleep 7-8 hours a night. People who exercise often sleep a little bit longer.

Ask HN: How would you spend $3000 a month for a year to create income?
I you had 3000 US$ a month to spend, for a year, how would you plan that money if you wanted to create a few (2, 3) online apps or something to generate a reliable income stream, generating, say, 5000$/m? Assume I can do some programming myself, but not all. Same with other tasks.

Another way to ask this: which parts of creating apps is it most efficient to spend money on. For example: a great visual design can be expensive, but you only have to (mostly) pay for it once. A few hours of a great (expensive) programmer can be better than a full time mediocre one. Marketing expenses should be x% of the budget. What types of apps would you focus on? And so on. All advice welcome!
Depends on what kind of debt. Having a $300k mortgage would not be a big deal.

You could try to look for information on this guy: http://www.worth1000.com/artists/deralt

He started doing photo retouching in the 1950s. After he retired he went on to make some of the best photoshops I've ever seen. He was then in his 70s if I remember correctly. He made some posts about how they did it back then, so if there's a way to search deeply in worth1000s forum history it will be there. These posts were made in 2004-2005 I'd think.

It sounds like you are self medicating with alcohol, maybe because of an underlying anxiety issue.

In that case, I'd recommend switching to other anxiolytic drugs (e.g. Benzodiazepines), since your alcohol intake will sooner or later manifest itself as liver damage or worse.

First and foremost you need to get diagnosed correctly. See a psychiatrist, one who got his degree recently and is experienced in substance abuse issues.

Edit: There are a lot of recommendations here to exercise, diet, man up, keep the beer out of the house, etc. I think these miss the fact that we all have different mental predispositions. In other words, there is no universal solution, and each case needs to be diagnosed correctly first before a treatment is decided upon.
Nice. That's what I like to hear! Please let us know what you think after a few days of using it.
Ok, but there's a big difference between "severe hangover and punitive exercise" and "ow I've got a headache, I'll still do at least a mile this morning".
I think I would define it as external events that you need to keep an eye out for. Something like being ready for the ipad launch with an app if thats your area, or moving fast on new API's such as when Facebook radically changed theres if you rely heavily on that.

Interesting product idea - could use a bit more explanation on the homepage (maybe a paragraph of explanatory text?), the video was nice but a bit hard to take in (fast paced, talking over music, short).

Your other video "How to use workflowy" was much easier to understand and actually convinced me to sign up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPMVtkNrquU&fmt=18 . Specifically, the part after 1:30 where you show the length of a list when it's expanded vs. when it's organized by workflowy. I usually end up with huge word documents that look like scarily similar to the sprawling, expanded list, and when you showed how the tool cuts down on that and only shows the level of detail you need, that hit home big time and made me want to try it.

Best of luck!
Interesting side note:

I watched the workflowy video in the article, thought "meh". Then I came back to HN to read the comments, and clicked on your app. Tried the demo, got intimidated by the interface and left. Came back to HN to read more comments, decided to check out workflowy's site afterall. A simple sign up, validation from Matt Cutts, and the fact that its a YC company persuaded me to give it a try.

tl;dr - Validation does matter. Convince the people who your target market trusts, and the rest will follow.

>However, approving having something deleted does not by itself make it an orphan work. After all, the copyright holder may have had it deleted in one place to publish it in another or had it removed so that it could be reworked into a new revision before being posted.

Destruction of a work I retain the copyright on is part of my [moral] right. For example an artist may not wish their earlier work to be seen, they should have the right to prevent it deleteriously affecting their reputation without that work being considered "orphaned" and fair game.

Reocities bringing back my teenage webpages may mean that people find things authored by me that I no longer want to be available, I took the appropriate course in letting Geocities wipe their servers; what right do Reocities have to recover that without my say so?

I don't care as it happens but I could and assuming that the servers are in a Paris Convention/TRIPS country I should win. TRIPS requires countries to treat commercial scale infringements as criminal!

FWIW safe harbour only works if you know you're not holding works for which you don't have the copyright or a license.

>Orphaned works are those where either the copyright owner no longer exists [...] or where there is no practical way to identify the proper copyright holder.

The former are orphaned if their estates or business successors can't be found. The later are not orphaned, they're just a PITA.

Wall Street Firm Uses Algorithms to Make Sports Betting Like Stock Trading
There are several reasons my blog isn't on blogger.

First: I like to own my own IP. And I don't want to be vulnerable to a spurious takedown notice if some random griefer decides to take aim at me.

Second: blogger has some hard limits -- official list here: http://www.google.com/support/blogger/bin/answer.py?hl=en... -- and there are anecdotal reports that there is a limit on how many blog entries you can have.

I seriously considered Typepad, but once I worked out how much it would cost it was cheaper to stick with a dedicated colo server (hint: there's more than one blog on the system I run, and there's also a mailman server and some other stuff).

Also: I've been running on a Linux colo since 1996/7, and I really don't feel the need to take a couple of weeks off work to re-jig my entire online presence. This is the first time I've ever had anything like this load level. If it starts happening regularly, I'll reconsider my strategy. Until then, it's a one-off.

In the eyes of the (US) law, independent invention is no excuse for infringement. The patent holder has an absolute right to exclude others from practicing the invention.

In other words, in the race to invent and patent, first place gets a big prize, second place is the first loser.
bookmarked. awesome sites, thank you very much kayla
These "What would you do with $x to make $y" questions come up all the time -- I'm sure you could find them if you search. You'll find lots of ways to spend money getting a design at some site or hiring a freelancer at some other site, throwing some at AdWords to test ideas, etc.

More important than any of that is whether you can self-motivate yourself to identify and test good ideas, build them into products, and follow through on them long enough to see if they'll gain any traction.

It's extremely unlikely you'll create 2-3 web applications that generate $5000/month in the span of a single year if you're leading them yourself. You might be able to hire people to build out 2-3 things, but you won't be devoted enough to any of them to aggressively find your initial customers and develop the application until it's something they love enough to start spreading the word.

My most productive time is usually after lunch as my mornings are usually filled with meetings, phone calls and emails. Evenings I work on my own projects and freelance. I'm more enthused about the work but find there are more distractions as well.
I take from what you say as touching on something I've often thought, we're treating the symptoms of an example problem as though it was an epidemic. I think that there are two sides to the security theater, what they show, and what they don't. I think that these devices will catch people sure, and make a great number of people like yourself sort of a comfortable indifferent, but I do believe that there is indeed a total package of risk management, and these public faces of the effort is just the tip of the iceberg. The evidence I have of this is when I went to Mexico one time and my significant other bought some kind of pill with my card. They could care less about me at the border, they went for the exact pocket of her purse. It took a matter of minutes, and we were on our way. I have some theories about how they might have done it, and I'm sure it was simple, but it is by no means obvious (maybe my CC info? the way she carried herself?) exactly how it was done.
Just played with it. I like it, except in the 30 seconds of playing around, wasn't obvious if I'm creating a new list when I do an entry, or if an entry is a list. It's nice and snappy though.

You might want to take screenshots of a few use cases, skitch them up and post that on a more....link for those who want to learn more.
the closest neighbours are several hundred metres away, and the garden is large and located in a very fertile area. It only gets attacked like that a couple of times a year. It's not something you'd do every night after work.
Most people don't know what an outliner is, so that's why we decided not to use it. We're really approaching it as text editor designed for lists, even though that ends up being an outliner.

For tech people, you're definitely right. For most people, this really is a new category of thing.
This case seems so cut and dry though that a lawyer is hardly necessary. Small Claims court will do the job perfectly fine.
Ask HN: startup idea
I was reading an article a few days ago, which quantified how much money is worth for a business when some of their users use Facebook's Like button to share the business with their friends.
Suppose you're selling something (movie tickets/rentals, gadgets, etc...) and allow your customers to share/like on facebook what they purchased. Naturally, some of their friends will check it out and even make the same purchase (especially for certain type of products, like events, movies, etc... where it's important if some of your friends attend).

I'm wondering what you think about providing this as a service to everyone selling something out there?

I'm thinking something like an ad network which enable store owners to let their customers engage with their friends, which in turn drives more traffic/sales to the store owner. The store owner would pay a CPC or CPA fee.

Thanks!
Fair enough :) But my question is more about: if you have some money to spend, and assuming that is at least somewhat helpful, which areas should you spend it on?

For example, you could just spend everything on Google ads to get traffic to your site. Or you could spend it on a great copywriter. Or you could spend it on quitting your day job.
My first reaction is that this sounds similar to SQL Server Stream Insight (in terms of processing continuous streams of data)

My personal opinion about this is that the better/more driven/valuable developers are the ones who are quick to try new tech and follow emerging trends. Many people know PHP, but I think you'd likely find better talent in the long run if you offer a position that uses a more exciting back-end.
Yeah, lots of this is right on. Dates: need to do it. Taggin/Labeling and filtering is super key and one of the next big things we're going to work on.

Regarding monetization, we're thinking that we're going to have a premium option above a certain number of lists/items. We're, of course, going to grandfather in early users.
I have no qualms with sharing my ideas with anyone that will listen. I find that I solve problems I'm struggling with, and develop new ideas when I force myself to explain concepts and ideas to people, technical or otherwise.

Ideas are to be shared. Good, quality code (with an appropriate license for attribution) should be shared as well.

You might ask where I draw the line? I draw the line at whole applications (I would never give someone the entire source to a webapp I charged money for), or physical goods that I need/use (servers, hardware, etc).

BTW, Mayor Bloomberg instituted this service for all non-emergency calls to the City. right after he first became mayor. It was modeled it after the help desk for the Bloomberg Terminal. That service was pretty much the best help desk I have ever dealt with. Extremely focused on metrics.
One compromise would be to have the instructions/intro entered into a demo page that people could interact with but not save - it would encourage exploration of the interface without encouraging/requiring people to enter their own info. TaskPaper for Mac does something like this in an appealing way, and has almost the same interface as WorkFlowy.
I am having a hard time seeing how that type of generic advice would be helpful. You spend it on the things that would help you most on your specific project at a specific point in time.

If you're a great copy writer, having me tell you to hire a copy writer isn't useful.
But this is because you saw it on HN and it's a YC company so you want to give it a chance.

Most people wouldn't care or even know what YC is.
Absolutely amazing. These pictures are stunning, not only from an historical standpoint, but also quality-wise.

> It is if you don't live in the US.

i disagree. even if you adjust for inflation, consider taxes and such, you can live a very comfortable middle class lifestyle on $1m in the USA. going elsewhere, of course, makes it easier.

but its not about "just living". retiring in perpetuity it about having enough money socked away that, for example, a major, expensive medical problem won't ruin it for you, or that you can put your kids through college. its the big non-regular life expenses that get in the way.
Is the title statement taken from their argument in section "Data on Allegations of Willfulness" where they propose that since in 70% of the cases patent holders did not notify defendants of the patent violation than it is safe to assume that the defendants did not know they were violating a patent? That seems like a faulty logic to me.
That surely sounds serious enough to make him pay probably his whole life. I mean, what a villain!
Still, seems like a harbinger of things to come. Soon-ish, I think we should transition away from MySQL being our go-to default back-end for Rails apps.
It's not about support. This only matters to you if you use MySQL as an embedded database in software you distribute, as that's the only use MySQL Classic Edition is licensed for.

You buy support contracts completely separately, on their support page, not their product (binary licensing) page.

The FUD today on HN regarding MySQL is just confusing people.
