Right now it's a service: there's no product to see, just a live updated map during the demonstration on Saturday.

We are not giving instructions to people as to the route to follow. That is the role of the stewards (what you call organisers, scouts, commanders). We merely provide people with information with which they can make their own decisions.

We aim to reduce tension between police and protesters by increasing transparency: our approach is the diametric opposite of encouraging us and them thinking. I would personally be very happy to see kettling banned and support the legal challenges being made to it at the moment.

However, if the threat of kettling is being used to prevent peaceful protest and to scare people away from exercising their democrat right to do so then I believe that a tool like Sukey is essential rather than waiting years and years for the law to be changed, not knowing if it ever will be.
Yeah, ultra runners like this guy are pretty awesome. There are others doing amazing things too. Scott Jurek broke the 24-hour run record last year by running 165.7 miles in 24-hours. Anton Krupicka averages 200 miles a week in training. These guys race 100 mile races through the mountains. How long does that take? Geoff Roes won the Western States last year in 15:07:04. That's averaging 9:04 miles over rough terrain.

Most people could run a marathon if they trained for it. The human body is made for running.

Good to see my favorite distro moving forward! I only wish they could have managed to ship Perl 5.12 rather than 5.10.
Google has mentioned they're working on the content farm problem. I would expect them to make some moves faster that are smarter than banning content farm X while partnering with content farm Y. Likely algorithmically, coz that's how they roll.
Sure. But designs generally are worse tools for communication with business people and devs than wireframes, unless you just want to talk about the design and nothing else.

You're right, there are many dangers here and we are taking them extremely seriously. As I said above, I apologise for any confusion and lack of clarity caused by the rush to have it ready in time. All this will be fixed!
From the article: "Most people probably shouldn't drop out of school, but for that small percentage of us out there who have a great idea burning up inside, dropping out is not just a good idea, it's the right choice."

That's hardly telling America to drop out of school.
"Has a graphic which must be interpreted simply to find the last few projects the candidate worked on."

Bug or feature? This could very well cause a potential employer to stop and spend more time on the resume, and end up getting to know more about her than the person whose first couple lines of plain text did not catch the employer's interest.

"Straightjackets the candidate's work experience into "technology used" instead of "accomplishments earned"."

To me, the single thing that popped out the most was the quotation highlighting detailed accomplishments ("incredible job managing the launch", "delivered a product", etc.).

"Or is the blue "frequency" and the orange "expertise"? Why is the graphic laid out so that the cutesy venn diagram looks like a color key?"

This absolutely does not work at all and should be scrapped.

"a simple resume would lead with "Rails developer with over 5 years experience" instead of burying the lede in another cutesy picture."

Who gives a damn about yet another "Rails developer with over five years experience"? Was that experience building anything good? Did she learn anything and get better? Did she understand the customer needs and meet them? Was the site usable? Did it perform well? Did it stay up?

There are a lot of potentially better ledes than "Rails developer with over 5 years experience".

Also, in the interactive version, I'm assuming the related experience circles "pop" for the various projects when you hover over the key. That's at least a more interesting way to examine history with a technology than the standard "list technology key words next to as many projects as possible in big wall of text" used in standard resumes.

"What you say with a resume like this is, "I hope someday to have major accomplishments""

And what's wrong with that? If this is the resume of a young person with experience but not enough to fill two pages with small font, bulleted text of major accomplishments, maybe this isn't a bad way to draw attention to yourself and get an employer to take a chance on you?

Lastly, an over-riding fact here, I think, is the "View Plaintext" link. If you were the one considering hiring her, you could have just clicked that and got all the stuff you wanted, probably.
I agree. Google's prominent ranking of Wikipedia articles usually drives me nuts unless it's the only good article around.
Not that I know of. I imagine emacs or vim has good error-line parsing which you could steal/copy and get really good results. You could then extend it to work on any language you wanted.

Biggest thing I couldn't get right was automatically connecting frequency of errors to particular lines or modules. I found that I made the same mistakes over and over, and I had to just spot them and jot down what not to do or think of a ninja way to avoid it. I also found that there was a strong correlation between syntax/test failures while writing code and how bad the code was.

What would have helped is if I could calculate the stats per function, line, or file and then have some pattern analysis spit out common grammatical structures that I do which are correlated with errors. It'd be something like:

function/while/if/return 24% chance of defect found in blah.c:func1 and blah.c:func2

Then it'd get closer to predicting defects and letting me go check the spots it recommends.

But, never got around to it since it became really insane after a year already without that level of analysis.

Cool story bro!
I actually have a lot of faith in Google to do the right thing for their users. After all they mostly walked away, or at least severely hampered their business in China. They will be more than willing to walk away from sites their users think are low quality.

I'm not saying that this means they will do the exact same thing DDG did. I'm just saying any decisions they make will be primarily based on looking out for their users best interest rather than short term adsense revenue.
Google's ranking of Wikipedia articles is due in large part to Wikipedia's great PageRank ranking. I don't think Google is giving Wikipedia any sort of singled-out treatment, Wikipedia just ranks highly on Google's relevance metrics.
Very true, thanks for pointing this out.
If one wants to then say it doesn't even stand for Manhattan because there was not a survey of all prostitutes, one would have to discard pretty much every national survey result and medical study under the same reasoning.

That would be a good idea. But see Peter Norvig (director of research at Google) for what else would be desirable in most research studies:

http://norvig.com/experiment-design.html
Yes, I have. We used to call it "debugging", but I guess everything has to have a name before the cool kids will use it.

However, this wasn't about find a bug but preventing defects by using evidence to retrain my behavior. The approach is to assume nothing, then use simple graphs and data to look for places where you can change how you do stuff to improve your code. It's not hard, just really tedious.
Cancer on the Rise in Developing Countries
As many people have commented, the implementation of an idea is key. For anyone with a startup idea, first think about how you would implement the idea. Dwell on the implementation for weeks or months all the while trying to think outside the box. Once you think you got something golden, pitch the idea (just the idea and nothing more) to friends and family you trust to get feedback. THEN ask them how they would implement the idea! Take their thoughts and mold them with your own.

It is also easy to love your work even if you aren't terribly interested in the industry. For example, urinal cake distribution sounds pretty awful until you think about the individual or team whose task it is to make it work as efficiently as possible.
Ask HN: If I build it, will you pay? (Open photo sharing service on S3)
This idea has been stirring in my head for several months but today in the car I realized the vision in full.

TLDR; If I build a photo sharing service based on Amazon S3 (and CloudFront) would you pay to use it? You'd upload photos through the service into your own Amazon S3 bucket - meaning you have 100% control over the photos. Low resolution copies (for sharing) will be stored on your CloudFront distribution.

--------

The details

The state of photo sharing is absolutely horrible. Most people upload photos to Facebook and I won't even go into the 1001 reasons why their photo service is abysmal. Some use Picassa or Flickr, while better than Facebook they still control the destiny of your photos. Flickr's got APIs - so that's a start but it's not trivial to get all your photos and their meta data (comments, tags, etc).

What I'm envisioning is a frontend for YOUR photo collection that resides in an Amazon S3 bucket you own. A good interface to upload photos, share them, and control privacy. The whole point of this is to be open and let you retain ownership of your photos.

Lots of potential features on the roadmap but what I described is phase I.

My guess is the cost would be in the $1-2 / month range + any S3 costs you'd incur yourself. I'm hosting about 18 GB of photos and it costs me around $2 / month.

--------

The team (me)

Who the heck is this dude and what are his qualifications? My website is at http://www.jaisenmathai.com. I was a co-founder of a photo sharing startup back in 2004. We shut down shop in 2007 but you can see it here: http://photos.jaisenmathai.com/users/jmathai/photos/tags-tavin,favorites/.

I'm pretty positive I can build the first version of this out in a couple weeks (with a basic UI).<p>If you're a graphic artist and want to provide ongoing design services then you can have an account for free :).
Help me out here: if an attacker can get into my account on my OS X or Linux box, he can run sudo, which means he can replace my ssh client with one that will capture my passphrase the next time I use it.

Can you give a concrete example of a scenario in which an attacker will be able to read my SSH config file but not be able to get into my account? Suppose the SSH config file is not backed up.

I am not saying you are wrong about the need for a passphrase, BTW.
Yes! This. A thousand times this. You wouldn't believe how being able to type your code and watch it while you type improves what you write.
Now this is a perfect example of leveraging the Facebook Like button a unique and viral way. Good job!
Kettling also discourages protest. We have had many emails from elderly individuals, people with disabilities, families with young children who have been scared to march. There is a massive demonstration being planned in the UK by the TUC on 26 March against the savage cuts being imposed in the UK and a whole raft of ideological reforms that are being pushed through by a minority government and which have nothing to do with the state of the nations finances.

We have just had an election in which MPs courted votes with a signed pledge to scrap tuition fees - then slashed funding to the universities by up to 100% in many subjects and tripled the fees. When a mockery is made of the ballot and the voting system by such duplicitous behaviour, then people have a moral and legal right to take to the streets in mass, peaceful demonstrations.

When aggressive police tactics are used to dissuade people from doing so you have a serious failure of the democratic process.

We see our role as one of increasing transparency and accountability and reducing tensions in the street and we hope that we can help people legally and peacefully demonstrate and by doing so put pressure on the government to change their policies.

That is something all people, I hope, would want to see in a healthy, democratic society.
Short: I would pay.

Long: I would love to see some features that other sites haven't put in yet.

1. The ability to upload from a computer or via e-mail (from a cell phone, for example).

2. The ability to automatically repost pictures to specified Facebook galleries and Twitter.

3. Robust tagging/sorting/searching systems.

?. An offline system with a searchable database that you could synch with the cloud system would be amazing, so you could organize photos on your computer in the same way and keep everything synched up.

Edited for clarity.

Another thing that would bring over a lot of people I know is the ability to automatically import flickr/picasa photos and tags. Most people won't move from established galleries because it's such a pain to relocate all of that history -- they're locked in.
In what way is ddg not in the business of making money?
Thanks, Mahmud. We have put out a call for native Arabaic speakers to help us translate the text to English
a) Design - good idea, bad execution. To much clutter. This is typical problem for web designers nowadays, they simply don't get it. FUNCTION over FORM. To much color. To much fonts. Bad management of white spaces. Info-graphics must have a balance and accents. Logic over artistry. KISS. Not Web 2 crap.

b) Developer-for developer we need to see code. Way of thinking and way of writing. Cool tools or technologies are irrelevant to see quality of programmers.

If you are CEO, entrepreneur or business owner, and you don't have any designer/developer background, hire someone with enough professional experience to pick right people for you. Don't think that because you pay the money or manage business you know everything. Don't fool yourself with assumption. Good teams are built by design or by accident. But accident ones always bring disaster.
They don't do #ff yet however ;)
Aha, quite different from Canada, then. Up here it's unusual for students to get any college credit while in high school, and when it happens it's typically no more than 10-15 credits of AP or IB credits.
How odd that even a year ago it seemed that the search engine space was closed to new entries, even solved - and now it feels wide open again.
DDG has a laughably small market share. This doesn't necessarily make them a non-threat, but it's going to take more than this to change users' search behavior (ie convert them from Google to DDG) on even a minute level. I mean Google has the whole page preview thing now anyway, and the content farm thing should be fixed soon, as mentioned. Honestly, Google Instant is the best thing in search for a long time and it's so ingrained in my expectations now that I couldn't see switching to a search engine without it.

So asking what Google will do isn't really an important question.
The article you mentioned is real torrentfreak quality - some sexy hyperbole about Google being the biggest enabler for piracy, and an "innocent" victim.

The innocent victim is a link dump for mp3s from Snoop Dogg, 50 cent, Timbaland and a bunch of other artists.

Takes about 5 seconds to see their business model - get the traffic in by providing popular music they're going to have to remove... but not before they've made some money off it.

These guys have got it down to an art too - they actually upload the songs to a site that encourages "artists" to upload "their" songs and pays you when people download it inconveniently for free or conveniently via premium download accounts.

Apparently Snoop Dogg is so incredibly generous he wants them to be paid for giving away his music too - not just from the ads on their site, but from the download service as well.

But maybe these blogs are right and not just churning out fluff that converts well to ad impressions. I could be that jaded, maybe these really are impeccable sites, innocent victims, and not profiteering off piracy.
> My point is that the assertion that Google are doing all the work in creating the data used by Bing is clearly false.

Clearly it's not 100%, but what percentage is it?

The user ends up visiting 1 out 1T possible URLs.

Google narrowed it down from 1T to 10 URLs (11 orders of magnitude).

The user narrowed it down from 10 to 1 URLs (1 order of magnitude).

Even if you measure this logarithmically, Google did 91% of the work, and the user did 9%. And the Microsoft people are arguing that it's totally justified because of that 9%.

Or you could measure it linearly, and argue that Google did 99.999999999% of the work because that's the percentage of the results they eliminated.

Either way, this is an extremely weak justification for taking a result of which 91% came from your direct competitor (when measured in the most charitable way).
Good luck with your health. Thank you for your civility.
I find this your most salient critique, of all that you've leveled in this thread.

In other words, legitimate Rails/jQ skills do not require clever resumes in this market to get noticed, so from a job search perspective a simpler, more traditional resume makes more sense.

I think this invalidates some of my comments in reply to your comment at the top of this thread. :)

The OP's app sends a message telling the user that someone has a crush on him/her. Orkut would only send a message if both users marked themselves as crushs.
Have a look at dickbaldwin.com. He has written a bunch of tutorials for middle and high school students. He is a former teacher.
He's said shit all about how well the framework answered the problem he had. He might not have even had a problem. He just said writing a framework is the most effective thing he has done to improve his programming skills.
I was so happy the first time I traced down a bug with bisect, it seemed like magic.
Microkernels in general make for a great case-study on why arbitrary flexibility may not provide user value. Most of the OS doesn't have a need for "alien," radically innovative subsystem development - improvements to things like scheduling are mostly incremental in nature. Filesystems are one of the huge exceptions to this rule.

Wow, dude. Never been camping??? Considering it in the future??? Asking about websites to help you out??? Grab some pots and pans from the kitchen as well as a a lighter and just go into the woods somewhere. A sleeping bag might help or just grab some blankets and sleep in your car / truck. Geez, just give it a shot and if you screw it up then just drive back home. Some things in life you just don't need to prepare so much for. Make an adventure out of it.
Tip:

You can just raw copy (with dd) (most) Squeeze images to an usb-stick, and start installation from there.
A lot of your day to day activities can involve negotiating. For example, taking your car in for service/repair? Negotiate the price. Buying tires? Negotiate the price. Booking a hotel room? Negotiate. Doctor visit? Negotiate the fee. Heck, even a department store will often negotiate if you're nice.
It's not performance --- it's reduced setup overhead. The main upside of something like Heroku is that if you want to get something up quickly, you don't have to bother configuring a VPS for it; run three shell commands[1], and there's your app, running on the public internet.

The main downside of something like heroku is that if you want to do something that would require custom config on a VPS (e.g., installing some oddball software package), you can't. There are also restrictions on what directories you can write to, and so forth, and some fairly common gems require workarounds to deal with them. But enough people find it a net win that they've had, I believe, the largest YC exit to date.

Some things in life you just don't need to prepare so much for.

a) I am medically handicapped, as is my oldest son. So seemingly small things can really turn into big issues.

b) I really am trying to think through/plan out a larger thing and don't really want to get into the details of that. "Camping" is just one piece of it that I didn't think would be a big deal to ask for feedback on. Perhaps I was mistaken.

Edit: c) If I had, say, $100,000, I would just go do it and whip out my debit card if I got into trouble. But I'm not in that position.
I wouldn't pay. I don't even know 1 of the 1001 reasons you think Facebook's photo service is abysmal.

Who is the target user for your service?
Thing is, when you're job hunting you don't get ANY feedback 99% of the time. I don't actually mind negative feedback because then you know where and how to improve. What bothers me is how much of the job-seeking process is essentially a crapshoot.

Does the person reading my resume actually know what the job entails? Will they see my writing style as clever and witty? Or will my attempts to seem serious come off as stuffy and arrogant? Do I list all my experience and risk being underbid by some young hotshot? Or do I try for the job even after being told every other candidate has several more years of experience? Or in this case, I've designed an infographic to set myself apart from every other applicant, but will it be viewed as creative initiative or gimmicky for not conveying enough/the right kind of information?

The current job market is far from the only reason I'm doing my own thing, but being able to avoid that nonsense is certainly a great motivator.
