@awj: if your API does HATEOAS properly, so that your responses inline URLs to other related resources (aiding discoverability of your API through hypertext), then the client can naively take the URLs given to it and cleanly apply Accept headers to them as appropriate.
I believe an update to Readability was rejected though for not having in-app purchase.

Anything in particular you'd like to hear about? I'm being snarky on the blog, but the story about how we came up with our business model is true and the lack of vision combined with reasonable expectations is probably one of our biggest issues.

Japan Nuclear Plant Erupts In Fire, Two Workers Missing
Chile has been serious about recruiting startups to their country. $40,000 incentive, all the help you need to get started, they take no stake in your company, only obligation is to stay there for six months and do your best to be successful. (http://www.startupchile.org/)

Chile isn't without its own problems, but a lot of the climate is similar to California, they're enthusiastic and well-developed, great people overall, beautiful country, great food, great environment, lower cost of living. So far I haven't read any negative reviews of their program, only positive ones.

If you're not especially tied to the U.S., I'd recommend applying. Even if you go and it doesn't work out, you'd get a tremendously worthwhile experience from it.
I've been wading through this muck for quite a while, I'm well aware of these "standards". I'm not looking for standards, per se, I would be far more interested for a product specific api. Think Twitter, FB or Google. Standards by committee especially when doctors are involved is a recipe for utter disaster as we have seen time and time again.

We are in the midst of deploying some of your competitors. Ping me offline to chat some more.

I can never tell if TechCrunch is being devious to get page views or just lacks journalistic integrity. Before this story was updated with the information about the June 30th grace period it was completely inaccurate. After the update the entire story is completely invalid. At best someone's opinion which is based on not knowing much about the situation. Is this really enough to pass as journalism? You can sum up the whole story as "Apple might be doing something different but maybe not. Oh wait I didn't know about this one important fact but I might be right anyway so I dunno. Thanks for the page views suckers"

If he had a Windows version it should be able to make enough money to pay for a support person AND still be incredibly profitable. He just needs to have someone else do the selling in order to let him focus on the hard technical problems.

9 Ways Entrepreneurs Doom Their Businesses
9 Ways Entrepreneurs Doom Their Businesses
This isn't about Amazon or Netflix's size. It's about Apple's arbitrary interpretation of its policies. The App Store has had this problem since the beginning. Apple is purposely vague in it's definitions and chooses to apply them in whatever way makes the most sense in the moment.

It's this lack of clarity, arbitrary interpretation of the rules, and even changing interpretation of the same rules, that I have the biggest problem with. It's why Steve Jobs had to clarify that it was "intended" for subscriptions only not for SAAS offerings. That doesn't mean they won't apply it to things like Netflix in the future though; just that it wasn't originally intended that way.

The history of the iOS ecosystem has been about Apple interpreting the rules differently for different groups of people. I don't have a problem with them defining the rules and letting developers compete on quality of product, but when they're inconsistent about their interpretation of the rules all it does is piss off a bunch of hardworking entrepreneurs, developers, and companies.

$100 says they'll change the interpretation of these new rules by June.
Unforeseen Use Case for GroupMe: Dating Advice
I'm not entirely certain that they (the cable company) cares. There's the wireless ISP in the area (what the parents currently have) and they didn't seem to fret when that came into the area.

This is mostly an old, poor, mill town -- except all of the mills have long since gone away.

You pretty much described exactly the kinds of things they say. When I first called on my parent's behalf in 2008, I was told it would be 2010. In 2010 I was told "maybe 2011." Here we are in 2011 and they still have no answer for me.

Bell South apparently doesn't have a DSLAM near by... though my sister has DSL and lives about 6 miles from my parents.

They're pretty much at the county line, so I think this has caused them to end up in a "no man's land".

Time Warner can't come that last 1/4 mi and the other cable company doesn't care to come out this far.

900mhz seems to be the way to go.

Yes. The terms "RESTish" or "lower REST" are just a way to stay buzzword compliant, not actually a way of elucidating anything. They're catch-all buzzword substitutes for more accurate terms.

They're particularly bad since a strict interpretation of REST can still be valuable, yet it makes REST itself seem overly nebulous and fluffy.

People advocating terms like "RESTish" or looser definitions of REST seem to think that REST is an ultimate goal of any decent web API. It's not, REST doesn't need to be used everywhere, your API isn't crap if it's not REST. So stop calling it REST like you're embarrassed to admit it's "just" RPC.

While guitarists, by necessity, have a loose approach to finding the right notes for a chord, and will often use an inversion to get them all (or at least the harmonically important ones, like the third) on the fretboard in a reasonable way, that doesn't change the meaning of fourth and fifth. It's a bit pedantic, sure, and the notes have the same harmonic meaning (sort of, though inversions do feel different sometimes), but when you lay out the standard tuning of a guitar out on a piano and ask someone the distance, it is a fourth. You have to jump through some hoops to convince them to tell you that the relationship between the G to the D below it is a "perfect fifth".

I'll also point out that the post I was responding to had already established which way he was counting by describing the relationship between the G and B strings (which, if we're counting the other direction would be a flat 6th; and, as a musician of twenty years I had to do mental somersaults to make my brain think of it that way). One way or another the description of standard guitar tuning was incorrect.

See what you made me do? I had to go all pedantic and stuff, and I hate doing that.
I'm going to play devils' advocate:

It "hasn't helped" in the context of the post I was replying to.

The poster clearly thought that a kill switch would be some kind of magic button that would turn everything off and "make it safe". I'm pointing out that nuclear power stations don't work like that.

Clearly, it is a much better situation now than if they had been going when the tsunami hit.

A free business idea.  Google Analytics for printed flyers
In case somebody was looking for an business idea:

The manager of a small dentist clinic was telling me he had setup virtual phones and web pages so that he could track the effectiveness of his pamplets and advertisements.

But he said it was very complicated to do, and he would have been interested in paying for a solution. Basically he wanted a 'google analytics' tool that was integrated with flyer printing and delivery.

If anyone is interested, or already doing this, let me know and I'll put you in touch with the guy (and the google words he searched trying to find it).
Good point. I think it is valuable. This is not an issue that should require much negotiating, as it is simply lowering the government-imposed barriers to creating companies. Building political support will take a lot of my time but not the politicians, so the use of their time is slight.

Of course, last year, the bill was introduced and just ignored, so we'll see if a more public campaign by the startup community rather than just a handful of VCs is more effective.
"Alexis also talks about how Reddit was able to get new users by creating fake accounts to simulate an active community."

"simulating" is probably too strong a word. the early adopters didn't care if it was the team posting or other people; they liked the content and the discussion.
the doom sayers really should admit nuclear safety is feasible

No, they really should not.

Firstly, you've moved the goal posts - now safety should be accepted up until a "large number of people become affected by harmful radiation". Originally, your goal posts were set to "Japanese people escape unscathed from radiation". And I suspect the definition of "large" will shift accordingly so that you can maintain your view that nuclear plants are safe enough. You had to shift your goal posts because the glowingly optimistic view from your OP hasn't survived reality.

Secondly, if that glowingly optimistic view from your OP had actually come to pass (and now we're operating in a fantasy world), why would anyone consider it more than anecdotal or luck or a combination of factors that are not easily quantifiable and therefore hardly reproducible?

And lastly, once again you failed to address the point I have been making. Your position applies equally to both sides. You can't cherry pick and maintain any integrity. It's not that I believe failure in this situation is ultimate proof of the failure of nuclear energy - but it is your OP that success in this situation is ultimate proof of the success of nuclear energy. Your premise is wrong, independent of whether your conclusion is wrong (which I believe it is, but not ultimately because of this situation).
Security is hard.

If you're asking for an account name and password form someone, you're effectively committing to playing security hardball. Also, you're asking the users to trust you, and perhaps the level of trust that you're askign for is more than you really need.

Stackoverflow is an interesting case where they thought about issues of identity and authentication, and decided to go with OpenId. Their rationale would be something along the lines of "we want to map comments to an identity, but we don't need/care about authentication, we can let someone else do that".

Unfortunately, OpenId kind of sucks, but that's a different story.

An interesting example is HackerNews where they keep a cookie around so I don't need to log in everytime. This is enormously much less secure (anyone else on the same machine can impersonate me just by going to the HN website). But the security implications of someone impersonating me are low (shoot, given my contrarian nature and history of Iconiclasm and Heresy someone else trying to 'destroy' my online rep would probably actually improve it instead :D )

Now Facebook does the same thing, but in Facebook's case this is enormously bad, evil and wrong (tm) since the data they control access to is much more sensitive and private.

Speaking of different stories, here's another one to illustrate when you want to be able to uniquely identify someone, but going with a full on username/password system is overkill and more hassle than it is worth.

Was talking to some guys who want to take registrations/expressions of interest for an upcoming Science Fiction convention. The convention is a couple of years out, so presumably some proportion of the people will need to change their address details between now and then. But if they do a name/password thing, people will forget the passwords (and choose badly even if they do remember it), it imposes a security and trust burden upon them to maintain the database securely.

Basically, they need to identify the people to a reasonable degree of security, but names/passwords is overkill.

So I decided that what they needed was a shared secret instead. If the person gives their email address when they sign up (and sign ups range from OMG take my money now to "eh, send me a reminder when we get to three months out"), then when that person wants to change their name/address details, they just send them an email with a link. The link contains the shared secret built in (e.g. a token). The shared secret will eventually expire, but for a while they can get in and edit their own details. If someone doesn't want to give their email when they sign up, no problem, they just can't offer them those convenience features.
Well, I'm not sure about the partisan thing...

But, when I worked on the Hill (yes, I was one of those) as a staffer, we did look on the internet to gauge the public reaction towards a particular issue. If (and only if) it matched with the congressperson's political agenda, we could suggest that the congressperson "push the issue" in caucus or debates.

Although, internet comments and news aggregators would never swing a politician's perspective on an issue (only money does, kidding...kind of).

So, there is some political weight in internet comments, but if you really want to ensure your contribution, call up your representative. (Seriously, they have people to handle these calls - it takes 5 minutes.)

This was actually covered in the article and exactly the advantage of YC: the vast network that could take your innovation to the next level and to the mass public. I don't think innovation itself guarantees any business success, it has to be combined with the right execution, especially marketing, PR, etc. One good example is Dropbox: there were numerous companies doing the similar thing as Dropbox, but Dropbox excelled. Granted the technology of Dropbox may be better at some fronts, but to me its critical advantage is that being a YC company, it could leverage a huge network, and became viral before everyone else.

As the entrance barriers for internet innovations become lower and lower, the competition to attract publicity and secure critical mass has become more intense. To me that is where YC offers the most value.
