I doubt that's the case for 95% of all jobs. And for the jobs it is the case for, I doubt managers are going to change things just because of a WSJ article. "What? Number of hours aren't a good indicator of employee performance? Alright then, ER doctors. Show up whenever you want to."
There is a difference between learning from your mistakes and using the same algorithm on an updated data source.
They could still win on user experience. Compared to your basic Yellow Cab, it's easier to call one, there's less hassle over payments, and the cars are nicer. And if you're at an odd location, "talk to the driver" directly works a lot better than trying to go through dispatch. None of these is hugely innovative --- but Zappo's isn't doing anything hugely innovative either, and competing on service has still served them pretty well.

(BTW, Uber had problems with taxi regulators even in San Francisco. Not to say that it wouldn't be a problem elsewhere, but they do have experience with it.)

Well, there is already the ##solofounders channel on Freenode IRC.

I'm also solo at the moment, but won't necessarily stay that way. I'm looking for 1-2 other co-founders to join the team. (So if you're a marketing/sales/bizdev guru in NC, or an ace web-designer / css/html/javascript guru in NC, gimme a shout.)

The nice thing about being solo at the moment is, I get to do everything. For example, I've had to dig into a pile of CSS/HTML/Javascript stuff lately and start trying to reinvent myself as at least a half-assed Web UI person, since I don't have anybody else to do that stuff. The downside is, I have to try and reinvent myself as at least a half-assed Web UI person, when it's not my strength (I'm more of a backend coder.)

If that never came up again I would personally just ignore my comment. But for me the photography link was a little too close that anyone who has seen the movie will probably make the connection.

Kind of like the tea party tea bagging thing.
It's not like the "Michigan Left" (I hate that name, "Metro Detroit Left" would be much more accurate) does away with making a left turn at a light. Instead, you make a right turn at light at the intersection, and then a left turn at the extra stoplight they added for the Michigan left. The only time it's really a win is when there's no traffic on the road you're crossing, so you can turn right on red and then left on red. And of course, in that case it would be easy to turn left on green if it were a normal intersection...
Good luck, I hope you succeed! I'm in a similar situation, although I have a couple of products bringing in modest revenue. I found that there's always heaps of things to do when you're a solo founder, and it can be overwhelming. Also, things always take longer than you expect.

Would be happy to exchange thoughts (email in the profile).
I've tried several times to get really excited about the semantic web, but in the end I tend to arrive at the same conclusion: so far it's still feels like over engineering a solution to a problem I'm not sure we have. A perfect example of this is OWL, which in its pure form is so expressive that it is completely useless for automated reasoning (due to computational intractability). If you were to build an automated reasoning system to solve a real problem you had, you would never arrive at OWL.

Additionally there seems to be a whole lot of reinventing the wheel. The best semweb people are aware of all the past research in logic programming and automated reasoning, but most semweb enthusiasts seem to be hardly aware of prolog let alone that rdf triples are just another way to express what clauses do in prolog.

If we're really trying to solve the 'problem' that semweb addresses we'd be seeing more articles titled "intro to logic programming, knowledge representation and automated reasoning"

You should've really started on a project without quitting the day job. But since you did, try and work as if you have only three months left instead of twelve. A year of carte blanche is a LOT, it will entice you to sidetrack and spend time on stuff that doesn't matter. So assume you are already running out of time and set your priorities based on that.

In any case - good luck. It's going to be interesting :)
Unfortunately, those are very difficult to compare, because no one has ever done both in his life.

This is a beautiful icon, but I'm going to risk saying something unpopular here. This is less a design exercise than it is an application of current design trends. Linen textures, subtle gradients, noisy gradients, glowing text—even the controversial iTunes 10 glow—are all everywhere. And while they look cool, they do nothing to distinguish your brand from anyone else following the same trends.

Crashed when I tried it. The request is still hanging, a minute later.

And I can't do anything to fix it, or deal with it.

I don't want a hosted wiki service. I want a wiki that I host myself on my own machines and that I can fix at will.

Yep, 504 gateway timeout.

I also don't really want to run a wiki on node.js, which is rather untested.

I'll stick with my django + wsgi.

Nice design though, best of luck.

This is a significant disadvantage for some categories. For example one category from Friday was "WARE"-ING with each question containing "ware" in the response.

After typing out this comment it occurs to me that if you carefully consider each answer there is only only logical question for all the answers in this category. Although I don't have any specific examples, there are times when a question is ruled incorrect because of the category name (e.g The category called for a specific number of letters in the response).

"If you want to know that you’re being given a valid address, send it an email and have the user click a validation link in it, and stop annoying your users!"

Epic fail. Its this sort of approach that ends up resulting in cross site scripting bugs. Oh just take what ever the user typed in, and send it to the server they told me to send it to. Boom!

The perl code is perfectly reasonable for validating RFC compliant addresses.
I agree with your comment about the exaggerated brevity. But I am not so certain he is commenting that AI will never be capable of thought. My reading of his comment, and of the original Turing paper which he is citing (Computing Machinery and Intelligence by AM Turing, 1950), is that the term "think" needs to be re-thought itself. That is to say, the common use of the word "think" to differentiate between the processes of AI and Natural intelligence is irrelevant at best, and misguided at worst. But I may be way off.
4G is not what it is advertised for. my favorite is the marketing scheme behind 4G LTE(long term evolution), which is the same as saying "ohh we are thinking about 4G but it wont actually be here for a while"

> Incurring some false positives is a cost, which Quora

The issue here is that you cannot claim to be an 'international' company just because anyone can sign up. If you discriminate against people whose names are 'weird' just because they don't conform to your cultural norms, then all you're doing is exposing your ignorance to the international community that you're hoping to embrace. Stating that Quora is 'open to entire world, so long as they conform to American cultural ideals' is just confirming that stereotype of the American business man that shows up in a foreign country to do business, expects everything to work like it does in America and views all local culture/customs to be 'inferior' because things work so much better in America.

On top of that Quora doesn't seem to even have a consistent policy, or so it appears from their communications. The first 'your name appears to be fake' communication implies that the user just needs to say, "Yup, that's my real name," and all will be well. The further communications relay the message that once you've been determined to be 'fake' you need to provide a government id.

I'm doing the same thing, except leaving my corporate job (moving to half time there, to keep bennies/some money). I have spent 3 years on this startup, but only my last pivot got me to where I'm willing to take this move.

It's part scary, part exciting, but mostly I'm pleased at making a major change that I believe will move my life in the right direction.

Interesting fact: during Ken Jennings' original 74-game winning streak, he felt it was an unfair advantage he had so much experience with the buzzers. He asked the producers to allow the other contestants (competing for the first time each episode) time to practice with the buzzers, which they did.

They could at least factor it in selectively, in obvious situations. For example, all categories in jeopardy that contain a quoted string include that string in all of the answers. Wouldn't be too hard to use that information.

edit: furthermore, sometimes it's impossible to narrow down the answer if you don't understand the category. For example, if the category is '"C" you later' or something, there might be like 8 possible synonyms that fit, but only one starts with a "C".

True, although I'm a fan of 'tiered' services since robots (spammers, trolls, and others) also participate, I'd like a way of saying "this is a real person".

If you're looking for a startup idea how about a service that creates an anonymous ID (to me anyway) where the user provides that id to me, I send it to a service and get back a 'reputation' bit which says if you're a good guy or a bad guy (person what ever). And a way to report you've not been co-operating so that others can benefit.

Ebay reputation model but nominally anonymous. (at some point in some server somewhere there will be a way to link token a to token b but I'm totally ok if it can't be resolved into an actual person.)
It's probably going to take a little more than that, but I've always held that landfills are probably going to be very valuable property in 50 years or so. I assume there are going to be "dis-assemblers" to consume and separate "junk" for repurposing in manufacturing.

It's a little dream I have. :-)
Be careful about that - if you keep mailing them without requiring a confirmation, people will scream about "double opt-in" and put your mailserver on various blacklists. (A nastier sort will use your service to flood the mailboxes of people they don't like with your messages, hence the spamfighters' response.)
Depends on how busy the intersection is. Worst case scenario:

Miss the first light to cross straight through the intersection. Idle.

Queue into the non-intersection left turn lane to cross two lanes of oncoming traffic. Idle.

Wait for a right turn red light and idle, or wait for an opportunity to merge into two lanes of oncoming traffic and idle.

The best case scenario is light traffic and hitting both lights green, but you're still going further and taking longer to accomplish a left turn signal's best case scenario. A double left turn lane with signal is almost always faster in my experience.

I have the impression that translating the Python is easy (it was for the one project I did), but the C bindings are more of a pain.
I don't think this is comparable. There is a large difference in dynamics between the utilization of a computer and that of a 3D printer. I would argue that IBM was largely right -- the vast majority of consumers do not use their computer in the way in which IBM intentioned to speak, as a calculator or database. Most of this work is performed as a utility and consumed over the Internet. The modern home computer provides something in functionality more resembling the telephone than a calculator.

The ONLY purpose of a 3D printer is to produce durable goods. Will there ever be a point at which an average consumer will need such a steady stream of durable goods that a dedicated 3D printer will become a necessity?

I don't need even need a home printer or copier really. The few times a year I actually need one, I can walk around the corner to a Kinko's or use the one at work. This also doesn't compare because a printed document is essentially a custom product designed by myself. And despite the prevalence of home printers, it's still vastly cheaper to print documents using mass production techniques. Unless I'm missing something, I don't see this changing, as durable goods are designed by domain experts and the mechanics behind economies of scale would apply even in the 3D printing realm.

Continued product convergence and ultimately nano-tech will further obsolete the necessity to have the large number of specialized, one-off durable goods required for the average household.

The evidence for what "is pretty clear"?

Your reference says that some support was provided. It doesn't tell us how significant that support was given Hussein's other resources. (No "billions" isn't necessarily significant.)

As far as "nitpicking" goes, you wrote "entirely" to score political points. Why do you think that it's unreasonable to point out that you overstated that case and knew about it?

Feel free to assert that you'd give someone with whom you disagreed a pass if they'd done as you have.
I don't really think it makes sense in SF, either. Taxi Magic, run app, push button, a taxi arrives. You pay half the price and don't have to worry about the driver flaking out on you, because dispatch will send another one automatically.

I've never waited more than 5 minutes for a taxi in the central part of the city or more than 15 way the hell out in the middle of nowhere, and I can't imagine Uber can beat these times. They were advertising heavily in other apps, so I gave their website a try then a hearty laugh when I saw the prices, which are ridiculous ($1.30 a minute for waiting time? Are you people high?)
Terrible logo for getting actual downloads- implies nothing about what the app does.

With App Store marketing you have to describe your app with just the title and logo. By punting on logo you're losing 50% of your descriptive levers for getting rank traffic.

One of my oldest HN comments:

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=66284

A few years ago, Graham sounded a warning about PR firms but hedged by saying he liked Viaweb's firm (Schwartz, which FWIW was not well-liked by many of the PR/MR/AR-types I've known). From my vantage point, it looks like PR firms (and, let's be candid, PR FT roles at startups) mostly pay off in the form of pay-for-play "op-ed" pieces in trade pubs and in stories you'd have gotten anyways.

PR firms also "offer" a lot of ancillary "benefits", like positioning reports and news alerts and trend analysis, virtually none of which are going to help most startups.

Finally, like fancy offices in SFBA and sexy logos, press is part of the "startup daydream" and is thus inherently suspect. For every truly important writeup out there (and there are many), there are 1,000 press hits that do nothing for your business. You can waste a lot of time chasing this stuff.
Shouldn't IBM start their own search engine if they have algorithms like this?

Some really broken/misconfigured mailer software may still accept the 'foo@bar@qux' syntax (route mail for user foo@bar via qux, or the other way round - I forgot which, since no sane system has implemented this since the word 'spam' came to mean bad e-mail.)

So there may, theoretically, be some value in checking for the presence of exactly one @.
