OT: Does it also bother you that Google's Instant has broken the back button on search pages? Back now transfers the cursor to the search box, which is a feature I find incredibly annoying.

I have a Livescribe pen, which records the audio in the room with the text you write in the notebook. It works great and was a nice tool to have in my classes, and is now a great tool for meetings in my job.

Great for discussions which includes a lot of drawing and explaining, with no need for writing down everything as it can just be replayed afterwards.
I think Google still attracts "algorithms & textbooks" sorts of software engineers. I don't see how it would be as attractive to the kinds of engineers that want to create products and businesses, and have a lot of power and control and freedom over what they're doing. I keep hearing about how one of the attractions of working for Google is knowing that your code will be used by millions of people, and run on thousands of servers, etc. You know what? I could give a shit. In reality, you will most likely only be writing a very small portion of the system the endusers will interact with. I'd rather write the entire system. And would you care inherently about how many machines it will run on? Personally I care more about creating lots of cool products that real people use, that make me money (ideally, a ton of money), and honestly, I don't really care whether it's running on millions of servers or merely a single or a dozen machines. Whatever. I also don't necessarily care about working with other "smart" people, at least as Google defines them. I do care a heck of a lot more about making new stuff, and learning new stuff, and getting to apply it, especially closer to the bigger picture end of the spectrum, and the product or business level of abstraction.

As a user of Google's services, I love 'em.

As a potential employee -- totally not interested and hard to see the attraction.
I love it! I think you can make your own TV station here... Pick a niche audience group, work with a selected few Directors/Gurus, brainstorm a few good shows with these partner a year. You have a hit!

Leave some space in your website for advertisers or leave a few seconds in your shows for advertiser.. Either way I think it is very possible here!

Interesting article, lead me on a bit of a side tangent to my usual monday morning.

Based on people saying that 1024 bit RSA is no longer considered secure. I hunted down what I believe is at least one source from nist.gov.

http://www.nist.gov/manuscript-publication-search.cfm?pub_id...

With the default having to be increased in less than a few months, I was a little surprised to see that google, having recently trumpeted about their "encrypted" search is using 1024bits.

https://encrypted.google.com/

If you check their certificates you will see it is 1024bit.

I was hoping to compare it to https://duckduckgo.com, yet it turns out they too are running 1024bits.

I hasten to add, I dont really understand the significance of different ciphers used etc, this is purely based on bits.

I recently interviewed with Facebook and here are a couple of the questions they asked me:

1) how do you find the square root of a number using only basic operations?

2) how do you position a button over the bottom right corner of an image using only css?

I spent a lot of time reviewing my linked lists and other basic data structures, but that ended up being wasted time. In my case, I knew the answers to both, but let my nervousness ruin my responses. So my biggest advice is to just relax and trust that you'll be able to figure it out. Good luck!
Hey fellow HNers! I created Knowcase as a sideproject over couple months, mainly scratching my own itch.

I've been using Evernote to save all kinds of things that comes into my mind or I simply needed to remeber. I loved the "access anywhere" aspect however I was never quite happy with other things. It was not very convenient for organizing information and sharing/collaboration was basically absent (to be honest I haven't tried paid version). And the UI had a lot of things I didn't really need such as all the fancy formatting (it's esspecially iratating when you copy paste some bits of info from websites).

Eventually I came up with the idea for Knowcase. It wasn't originally intended to be an outliner, but somehow I fell in love with outlines, and have never looked back since :)

So here it's - any feeback is higly appreciated. Thanks!

Some random thoughts:

I'm really happy to see this open up live. I think it's about time someone tried to "take on Google" - the competition will be great for us users, and it looks like Blekko might be a serious contender.

I love the fact that they've taken the concept of the "search box as the new cli/all purpose interface", and extended it. That's basically what they're doing, after all - giving every user customizable cli commands they can use to search smarter. The big question is, will this kind of thing catch on with "normal" users? I'm not so sure, but I hope so.

I don't understand why they're sticking to the name "Blekko". It's pretty obvious the word they're really pushing is "slashtag", so why not go buy that domain and call themselves slashtag? Makes a lot more sense to me. If you're trying to get people to remember you, and you're spending so much time on pushing the term slashtag, at least make that the way to find you. (And no, Googling "slashtag" only turn up Blekko as a 5th result or so.)

I love that they make their SEO/ranking system very public and very accessible. This is an interesting strategy - developers are more inclined to optimize for the tools they understand most, and developers sometimes drive later adoption.

Just because there is high unemployment nationwide, don't assume that getting a software development job will be historically difficult. After long hiring freezes, tech companies - more specifically, the team leaders who end up interviewing you - are dying to hire new employees to fulfill pent up demand in their own teams. The preference is for experienced candidates, but smart new grads are also welcome. This is from my experience in the San Francisco Bay Area.

I'll second the previous recommendations to go out and interview with other companies. You didn't include many specifics, but I'll assume your master's degree is in Computer Science and that you are smart. If you don't interview well, treat each real interview as practice.

Your relatives may warn you about the economy and send you newspaper clippings showing all the unemployment. I have a hard time convincing my own family, but software development jobs are different.
Probably depends on how far the believers drift from "normal" mental state.

While working for long periods with poly sleep schedule, and getting into that hypomanic idea-spewing region, I'll scare myself by looking in the mirror: my eyes are WIDE, with eyelids not touching iris. Is that how I really look to everyone? Yep. But my eyes feel normal at the time, if a bit cold. If I force them to look like a normal person's eyes, they feel warm and half-closed as if I'm sleepy. That's it! In high creativity "flow" mode, I'm really really awake and I'm paying attention to my entire visual field. Perhaps it's akin to looking frightened. In order to see possible approaching dangers, you pull your eyelids back so they don't block peripheral vision as much. You don't necessarily roll your eyes, but when your eyelids are so wide open, any glancing to the side exposes the whites of your eyes. Very noticeable to onlookers. (So then when I go out in public, I have to make sure to squint and pretend to look sleepy!)

Sheer speculation: ancient tribes might survive better if their members evolved to display certain unconscious instinctual facial expressions. The look of feverish sickness says "stay away, infection danger." But the wide-eyed crazed/fearful expression also gives the community warning to back off and avoid unexpected behavior. When I've put myself into an extreme creative state, I'll notice that my eyes feel cold w/wide open lids exposing more surface. I think to myself "Yep, automatic craziness-warning system been triggered."

Imagine what might happen if heavily-armed and mentally unstable tribe members DIDN'T display any signs that they'd consumed alkaloid plants or mushrooms or alcohol ...or had just gone without sleep for two weeks!

I'm quite sure that the author did not in fact buy an $800 pen. Its a parody of an earlier review of the new Air, suggesting that its a Macbook killer.

The tech community is notably wary of "X" killers. The snark is timely and funny. The pen got caught up in the action because its such a useless bauble of wealth signaling, it practically begs to be made fun of.
Crowdsourcing search relevance
I've had humorous comments voted up here. IMO, the reason why is that they were actually funny in an original way, and perhaps not so blatantly, "ha ha" obvious to the casual observer as some of what passes for humor on reddit.

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=458155

For example. I've seen others upvoted too, but it's mostly only for genuinely funny stuff that's not some tired, bedraggled "meme". The other thing is that it's nice not to have too much of it - people "clowning around" just for the sake of attracting votes.

Yup. Facebook friends trend towards bloat, which is problematic. Twitter followers/followees can be somewhat more manageable because there's a different set of assumptions about what following means vs. "friending".

The difficulty is that this is a very deep problem, and it is "solved" only partially by a very complex, very subtle, very tricky set of societal and personal customs and behaviors. The biggest problem from a social networking service standpoint is that computers very much prefer clear, explicit data, whereas human relationships exist in varying degrees of fuzziness. Most people don't sit down and write out a complete list of everyone who they consider a friend, nor do they create a tiered set of levels of friendships or a ranked list, nor would that necessarily be helpful as such levels are often in flux as friendships change, evolve, grow, and dissolve.

This is a problem everywhere with human behavior, it's one of the reasons why google was successful, for example. Back in the day every search engine was very practical and straightforward. Searching a set of terms brought you a list of web pages that had those terms on them, ranked by whatever convenient concrete metric seemed reasonable. To improve the quality of search results people would have to manually provide cues to search engines, via meta tags for example. Google decided instead to use a more sophisticated search strategy, extracting the implicit meta data about web pages via page rank and such-like. In short, google made web search conform to human behavior, rather than trying to get human behavior to conform to the requirements of search.

I suspect the same breakthrough is waiting to happen in social networking and will have just as big an impact.
Sigh. I ordered one of the new 11"-ers last week. I really should know better. I even thought, "dude, don't buy 1st-rev Apple hardware," but ignored my gut instinct. "Ooh, shiny!" won over.
The reason why GDP is still used is because we have a lot of historical GDP data available and it is a fairly simple measure to understand and collect data on. Nor do we have a good enough alternative measure yet. We do have several candidates, but just as you state they all have weaknesses that needs to be understood.

The problem with economic sciences is that the GDP measure is used without critique, without fully understanding its trade-offs or by simply ignoring it deficiencies. That I believe is very careless when you are in the end dealing with the lives of real people.
Facebook groups solve this problem. However I don't think you want to manage your closest friends on one platform.

I communicate with the people I care about through all communication methods available, restricting this to one method would be a distraction.
None that I'm aware of.

However, doesn't mean we can't take, say, January (or february, one of the winter months where outside is rather cold) and make that into NaProWriMo (National Program Writing Month).
It's a combination of things.

Primarily, it's part of the "House Style" or "House Design" to have the off-site links not in the main body, but to list them in a separate box so that people know they are taking you somewhere else, and an appropriate warning given. Without that warning people complain.

Really, they do.

There is now! I'll take the challenge.
Can the "two many friends" problem be solved with more powerful personal internal groups, or better named - contact labels?

The problem is in the name "friend". Most of our facebook-friends are actually just contacts. Only a subset of those contacts are your real friends. So, the problem is with the name of the concept, not the concept itself.

It would be pretty useful if facebook expanded on the concept of labeling contacts and thus making contact subgroups. Yes, putting friends in groups is already possible, but I feel it is highly underpowered. It should rank a lot higher in the whole user experience and the facebook core itself (separate walls, photos, easier management, easier viewing, easier control).
I think an arduino + dedicated server would make for a pretty expandable platform.
I've been playing around with it for a week now. Loving it. But on the places page where I can check in, I would love to get some feedback that my checkin succeeded. Maybe changing that button label from "checkin at ..." to "you're checked in at ..." would help.
Shut up about your brand
The feature you're suggesting will only be used by the sort of people who like tagging and keywording and organising things. I.e. not facebook's users.

I think facebook should automatically and invisibly group your friends for you - in fact they already do filter out some of your uninteresting contacts automatically, but I feel there's more work to be done on that area.
Wouldn't it be possible to make a startup that wasn't based on covertly collecting little worker ants' personal information? I'd like to see something else for a change.

No doubt about it. I was just answering the question "why even ask".
Are you unhappy with AWS? I was considering switching to them, should I rethink that?
In my personal experience, you don't necessarily lose relationships (in quality or quantity). It seemed more like a "weed out the wheat from the chaff" process.

During my first startup, I lost friends. But many were weak links anyway (which is not to say I wasn't sad to lose them). I lost some close friends too, some of whom I'm still not friends with again. It sucks. But c'est la vie -- this is not exclusively an entrepreneur-only experience.

I also became much closer to my family, especially my parents. Fortunately, I've had great parents, and they continue to serve as wise advisors. So while I lost some friends, I also made some new friends who are now some of the strongest friends I've ever had, as we share many more things in common (i.e. my old relationships were friends because we went to school together, my new relationships are founded on mutual interest).

As for romantic relationships, my first startup officially killed my romantic relationship. But it was not 100% because of my startup, nor is it a story for the Internet. Still, my business was a large factor. You can only care for one love at a time, in my opinion.

I don't see any of these as failures, however. They are all growth experiences. I learn more about myself, my friends/family, my business, my interests, the world, and that's just the beginning. I will only judge these as failures when I tried to make something work and despite my truly 100% best efforts I was not able to reach the intended goal.

One last thought: maybe it is possible to "have it all," but maybe you just need to re-define "all." Personally, to "have it all" is not synonymous with having everything at the same time. To me, to "have it all" can be spread out over my entire lifetime -- I can run a successful business now, then later meet someone I want to spend the rest of my life with, or vice versa. Or any other combination. Finally, "have it all" is different for everybody, so don't let my words define your life. But I hope I've helped at least a bit.

You've clearly put a lot of work into this (congrats, by the way), so why not spend a little time making the product site look a little nicer?

My first instinct when I saw the site was "abandoned open source project" and a strong desire to click away. Reading the intro text didn't really tell me what your thing was. Only after looking at screenshots, lists of pre-installed software, the title of this post, and making a few leaps did I understand what you're actually trying to accomplish.

So instead of "mumble-mumble-low-latency-mumble-mumble", how about "[BetterName] - A linux distribution for recording musicians" or similar, followed by a list of benefits to said recording musician.

Here is what an OS website needs to look like:

http://www.ubuntu.com/

Yours doesn't look like that. At all. It looks like every other sourceforge homepage, which means it looks terrible. Get a domain name (for a better product name), spend $400 on a 99designs contest, and spend 20 hours building a nice looking site for your project.

For the effor you've put in thus far, your project deserves it.
