In the United States, the vendor always pays the sales tax. Its customary for the vendor to itemize it separately on their customer's bill and exclude it from listed prices, but its the vendor who has to write a check to the government, the vendor who has reporting obligations to the tax authorities, and the vendor who gets in trouble if it isn't paid. I suspect its the same in France, but I don't really know.
Yes, there have been a couple groups that deferred to a later batch for personal reasons. There have also been a few who simply turned us down, e.g. because because the founders had a falling out, or their employers, when they heard they were leaving, made them an offer that enticed them to stay.

First you probably want to make authentication stateless rather than having a server side database. Something like a cookie containing encrypt( salt + expiry + username) is normal and can be validated without a database access.

Second you take your security advice from a professional not someone who does not seem to know what they are talking about.

2. You can't afford the cost of lifecycle maintenance on a bespoke CMS.

3. Newspaper editors make horrible PM's on software development projects.

Now that we've estabished your efforts are (at best) doomed to mediocrity drop what you're doing immediately and go check out Pressflow.

The nib is a data file - XML while developing, binary when shipping - that defines a bunch of views and how to connect them to a particular controller. That's it, that's all. You usually write the controller first, in code, and define certain "outlet" pointers in the interface of that controller.

Now in the nib you say "here are three buttons, connect them to outlets a, b, c." Now when Someone asks the controller for it's view it will create the views and connect the pointers in the manner you requested.

There is "magic" taking place, but no more so than the interaction between HTML and JavaScript in a web page. It may be unfamiliar at first, but not unfathomable.
Hmm what’s the story here?
You're missing the point: no code is being generated. Objects are being generated. The real objects you'll have at runtime are being generated. The real objects that will be freeze-dried to a file and reconstituted at runtime.

You're saving creating the hundreds of lines of codes that would be required to do this in a "normal" IDE.

Netbooks are $300-400, while the usual subsidy from a contract is $150-200. Perhaps Google is willing to make up the difference via an advertising subsidy, but I doubt a Google user is worth $100 over 2 years. Also, the idea of getting a separate $2,000 3G contract for a netbook sounds like a terrible deal.

All the viable gaming platforms, other than the Xbox 360, are running some OpenGL variant.

That's pushing it a little. Maybe you mean "viable for low-budget, independent developers" (no expensive devkit needed)? It's not that widespread on consoles: Nintendo still seem to be doing well, and none of their platforms support anything close to OpenGL. I'm aware that there is an OpenGL ES implementation for the PS3, but I'd be surprised if that was the only way or even the preferred method of talking to the graphics chip. In my experience, game console graphics programming is usually super low level, with the "API" consisting of a bunch of inline C functions and enum constants for twiddling GPU hardware registers, filling DMA buffers and handling interrupts.

Graphics APIs serve 2 purposes:

1. hardware and OS independence (consistent API for the same OS running on different GPU hardware, or for porting software between OSes)

2. sandboxing apps to prevent direct hardware access. The latter is useful for any multitasking platform, whether it's explicitly multi-tasking or just to shield the foreground app from accessing stuff running in the background, like on older iOS versions.

If you care about neither, or the latter is taken care of in hardware (IOMMU), then raw access to the GPU lets you do stuff that's way cooler than you could do with a driver and an API (though it's usually more work).
I just hope that some of the hardware manufacturers take some design cues from the Cr-48. The logo-less minimalist matte anti-chrome (ironic) is really doing it for me.
Another crappy time based events in video demo.

What we need is arbitrary events embedded in the video stream which the browser can listen for. One use is subtitles (which are being worked on) but we need to be able to add any other type of metadata event to the transport stream.

This is api-level backwards compatibility for a library that is bundled with the games. Microsoft is fanatical about BC when the alternative is to break a piece of software. When the only people they're inconveniencing are developers, the philosophy changes. And rightly so, otherwise it's just that much harder to build new features.
I love hacker news and my startup is spanish only. I am US based and fluent in english and spanish. After only a few minutes from posting a question in noticiashacker.com I received an answer that only a community like that would know. (I asked this question in Quora 3 weeks ago and it is still unanswered, by the way)

This site is invaluable to get the perspective of latin american hackers and users, specially if you are not in a spanish speaking country.

This could help so many startups that are mainly english based to expand and offer services to spanish speaking customers.

After reading http://www.amazon.com/Latino-Link-Building-Communities-ebook... there is a wave of users that speak spanish and they are going to need services.

How well can laser light pulses travel through fiber optics? (I am talking about intense laser pulses such as this - not regular lasers)

Could you have larger version of this in a backpack with the gun portion being the end of a fiber optic line? Could you join multiple impulses together into a single fiber for added power?
no code is being generated

This seems a patently false statement. I would count as code any representation of procedural or configuration information that could be interpreted or executed in the running of an application.

If the underlying systems requires hundreds of lines to represent a simple object (like a button, panel, or toolbar), then maybe as a programming environment designer, you should go back and simplify your underlying representation, rather than add a layer of UI to generate hundreds of lines of code.

I'd add under setTimeout and setInterval that anything below 8ms may not work as expected across different browsers/hardware. Even setting 1ms to indicate "as soon as possible" may not occur as expected when repeatedly called.

Yeah, in that respect the choice of 99c is interesting. Amazon switches from taking 70% of the price to taking 30% of the price at $2.99. Granted, we're now coming down to "what do you mean by coffee", but that's still less than your average somethingacchino at starbucks.

This was just a quick side project, so I didn't research too heavily any alternatives. I've never seen Jott before, but from a cursory glance the differences are:

Jott has a monthly fee whereas Call2Record is pay as you go.

Jott is probably much more expensive unless you record a lot of audio ($4/month and $12/month compared to $1/hour)

Jott limits you to recording only up to 30 seconds of audio at a time whereas Call2Record will allow you to record for an unlimited amount of time.

Jott seems to have a bunch of other extra services and features that are built around and compliment their product.

Review my Startup (friendvestment)
I asked that question for myself, and the answer (for me) is because of the hassle of switching browsers.

I switch browsers somewhat often, and I'd like to have all my bookmarks in the same place (not to mention the terror of migrating all bookmarks when getting new laptop). That's the main reason.

And of course there are little reasons such as:

* native bookmark doesn't give me preview or little snippet of what the link is about.

* I want to replay Freddie Mercury songs on YouTube in loop.

* It's always a pain to download photos of myself, tagged by family on Facebook.
An interesting example related to the ongoing online identity wars. Facebook, Google & Twitter are fighting to get our time investment in their free platforms without giving us the assurance that our investment will be rewarded.

If only the decentralized Twitter proposed a few years ago would have been built, we (users) would have more control about our identity, probably it is a little bit late now.
Do you want to reference the statute? Domain name conflicts are not addressed by any legal statute that I know of; it's simply been the policy of the registrars from the start because everybody knew it was going to be a problem. Twitter didn't have that foresight.

The key is this: if this new organization GIRLGEEKS has a trademark, they have a trademark. What's Twitter's motivation to challenge that in court? None whatsoever. If the original @girlgeeks wants to challenge it, she's welcome to do so, but the point is that trademark law does exist, a trademark was granted (even though I think it probably shouldn't have been) and somebody has to foot the bill if it's going to be contested, and as much as I'd like to think it's the person with the money, even I don't think that's Twitter's obligation.

Now, if it were me (and it was, for years, at Despammed.com), I'd say, sorry, that name is taken unless you get a court order, leaving the ball in the court where it should have been to start with. Twitter is obviously more craven than I am, but then I was very small and not concerned with paying a staff.

The point is, if you want rights to a name, just using it on some free service is sadly not enough to get them, and complaining that a large organization is not being fair is no substitute, even if true.
Should probably also mention the Function constructor in the eval section. Also object keys are always are type cast into strings so object[1] = "moo" becomes object["1"], this is rarely a problem but can be.
Speaking as a Midwest startup, while this is good, it lumps us in with the Silicon Valley hive mind to some extent. It would be really helpful to have a Midwest oriented AngelList.
We used Agilo, and it sucked
I think you are misinterpreting what he is saying. Direct3D is built on COM so the DirectX 1.0 COM interface still exists and code written against it should still work. However Microsoft has tried to make each version of the API internally consistent and as good as possible, so new versions of the API don't keep legacy junk sitting around.

OpenGL on the other hand has made sure that OpenGL1.0 code is still valid in current OpenGL(Pallet swapping FTW). Though I find it a bit odd that he is making that comment now. OpenGL 3.0(back in 2008) started the transition to a modern API. It deprecated the cruft and started building for the future. OpenGL 4.0 was released a year ago with all the deprecated stuff removed, and is now a nice clean API that is actually pretty close to DX.
This system looks overly complex to me. What I use is:

Cookie = (user id, timestamp of cookie, random number, hash(rest of cookie contents, user password from database (in whatever encrypted form it's there))

With hash being something like HMAC-SHA1 with per-application key. Purpose of signing encrypted password together with all other data is to invalidate persistent login cookies when user changes password. Timestamp is there as to accommodate expiration of cookies in secure manner. This system has large advantage in that you don't have to store any additional data pertaining to persistent logins.
Well, someone is jaded.

I'm not aware of any general-purpose package for German Tank Sort, but it is sometimes implemented in specialized applications where you know a distribution is close to uniform. Run one round of estimating, then run bubble sort. The worst-case time of course is N², but if your estimator is sufficiently good and data is sufficiently uniform, you could possibly achieve an average time of fewer than log N passes through bubble sort so break the N log N barrier for your typical case.
So, this way or another, path leads to decentralized social networks, where your identity is protected with your knowledge of private key.
DocumentCloud is also funded by the Knight Foundation, and hopefully there's some room for cooperation here.

We'll see how it pans out, but I for one would love for Armstrong to integrate with the DocumentCloud API, in order to provide seamless document management, OCR, search, and annotation for the primary source docs behind Armstrong articles. I've been talking to Travis about it -- perhaps it's a bit of code we can contribute to the project.

I can literally put together a list of problems with them, but honestly would it matter? During the pwn2own discussion on HN people were seriously suggesting that the reason OS X goes down first every year is because it was on the most desired computer. That's like saying the reason that XBox had the RROD is because everyone loves playing it so much -- no manufacturing or design issues.

And don't get me wrong, Apple releases some of the best products on the planet. But when they do do something that is subpar, most Apple fans simply see it as those on HN saw pwn2own. AppleTV is decent now, although I still prefer other boxes, but can you honestly say the $299 AppleTV wasn't garbage? Even at $99 the video quality was laughably horrible. Yet most Apple fans will call me a troll or fanboi for even the mere suggestion that AppleTV did not win WWII and kill the nazis.

Why so under valuated?
I worked on the same decision in buying my iPod Touch and found that

- Wifi only is quite inconvenient. If you're in your car, a hotel or coffee shop with lousy wifi performance, you'll miss having a cellular data connection. Using random 'open wireless hotspots' is not always a a secure (or legal) idea. Needing to use a second device to supply an internet connection is rather clunky, but I do appreciate the efficiency and thrift of that.

- 8 GB isn't nearly enough space, and 16 might be, but I'm not sure. I have come up to the limit many times on my iPod. I've removed apps, limited music to a fairly small selection, and am still left with so little space that I had to remove material just to download updates to certain apps (Infinity Blade)! If Apple would include an SD card slot like everyone else, though, this wouldn't be as big of an issue. I suppose with three other devices laying that can store and play music, my iPad might not be the 1st choice.

If I buy one, I'd probably get a 32GB with 3G.
