It's the obligation of the intellectual elite to point out fallacies, inaccuracies and problems of the governing body of a country. There's a long tradition of this, from Noam Chomsky to Ralph Waldo Emerson.

To qoute Emerson "Before we acquire great power we must acquire wisdom to use it well." Intellectuals have the wisdom, and the brave ones speak truth to power.

Donald Knuth is a Stanford academic, a serious Lutheran Christian, and a liberal. For any of those three types of people, these viewpoints are unsurprising. I share them, too, but I feel queasy about an HN headline that says "Respect", as if it were contemptible to hold a different viewpoint.

This resonates with me as I've noticed this as well recently. It's almost impossible for a small competitor to advertise via Google as relevant keywords have become incredibly expensive and the long tail generates minute traffic. I've even seen this in Facebook recently as CPMs and CPCs have sky rocketed as of late.
True, but I don't see any reason why low capital = low innovation. Cheap internet companies aren't derivative by default.

I still disagree. During bubbles, it is often apparent through straightforward financial analysis that companies are overpriced. Investing in a company whose price isn't supported by underlying assets and earnings because it's 'hot' is a speculative gamble on the extremely difficult to predict group psychological whims of the marketplace, not a rationally conceived value investment.
Thank you. I look forward to seeing your patches soon :).

There's another book on a similar vein called "Haskell Road to Logic, Maths and Programming" that I intend to tackle in the future. It's a bit more advanced than this book, but if you already know some discrete math, that might be a better place to start.

There's a reason people all over the world are building photo-sharing apps.

1. It's a huge opportunity. Huge market.
2. No one has nailed it yet. (No, Instagram has not yet won.)

It's perfectly reasonable to build a photo sharing app if you think you have the right formula.
It's not a wheel. It's a carousel.

To keep things in perspective - mainly so that the original commenter doesn't draw the wrong conclusions - most of the pageviews (28,876) occurred on the hosted blog, which is served by Posterous and not Freshdesk's Linode machine.

The other 10,000 or so pageviews presumably hit their Linode machine over the course of a day or two. There are 86,400 seconds in a day. On average, that gives their site 8 or more seconds to serve a single request. If your site cannot respond in 8 seconds, you will have trouble servicing any level of traffic.

This isn't comparable to being Slashdotted or TechCrunched. No need for elastic cloud servers in this case.

My father gave me a computer in 1992 when I was 4 (why?) so I began typing long before I knew there was a proper way. Neither of my parents were ever good at typing, and still use hunt-and-peck even today.

I remember when I was young, maybe 6 or 7 showing my uncle that I could type without having to look at the keys, and while I use all 10 fingers, my hand position is nowhere near the typical touch-typing one.

Usually my left hand comes at the keyboard perpendicular and my right one comes in at a 45 degree angle, so my hands are like:

| \

on the keys. My left hand stays mostly stationary, occasionally extending the first digit, while my right hand moves left and right slightly as I go.

So considering this, which option on the above poll should I be pressing? I use all 10 fingers, and don't look at the keyboard to calibrate myself, so I technically do touch type, but I have never used the JF nibs to get my position and certainly don't maintain the traditional touch typing posture. (the fingers on the home row thing)
He's a Stanford Emeritus and one of the most beloved computer scientists of all time. This isn't exactly the riskiest page he could have put up (though, if I wanted to be snarky, there's a wisecrack or two to be conjured about professing Christianity, right?).

But at the end of the day, of course I'm glad he has this page. Like I said, these are my viewpoints --- for the most part --- too. But I'm uncomfortable with the way we've chosen to promote the page here.

Here are a few more startup-related Emerson quotes that I just came across:

In skating over thin ice our safety is in our speed.

Little minds have little worries, big minds have no time for worries.

Love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is art.

Men love to wonder, and that is the seed of science.

No great man ever complains of want of opportunity.

Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen.

Our best thoughts come from others.

Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail.

People only see what they are prepared to see.

Shallow men believe in luck. Strong men believe in cause and effect.

The ancestor of every action is a thought.
First, the domain of knowledge to create a photo sharing app is far different than the domain of knowledge required to compete with Google over self-driving cars or solar energy systems to power homes across the country. Both of those examples are clearly physical products which require teams with far different skills than creating a team to develop a piece of software.

I understand the point here, but I disagree with it completely. Let people build what they're passionate about. Fund passionate people. If there's a market for the product it will be successful. If not, the investors made a poor decision. The money went into the ecosystem, it didn't disappear, it wasn't wasted.

We hear a ton about the venture firms that fund internet and software businesses because of what we read and pay attention to. Because we don't hear about all the bio-med and energy companies on TechCrunch or HN doesn't mean that they're not out there building the exact same products and getting funded by VC firms specializing in that space. They are getting attention, you're just not looking in the right places to see it.

All I've been reading lately are opinion pieces on what people should and shouldn't be doing with their lives, their businesses and their talents. If you're so passionate that you need to tell everyone what to do, quit complaining about about what should be happening and go make it happen.

Edit - Plus the author is currently head business development at Alphonso Labs, which develops iPhone, iPad and Android applications. What sense does that make? Quit making apps and do something else, but I'm going to keep working for a company that makes apps?

I think photo sharing is just a shot at hooking into a really valuable data stream. All they should want are phones that are turned on and sending them pictures, audio, and location info, and they can turn around and spit out all kinds of analytics that advertisers will eagerly pay for.
I sort of wonder how atheists process someone like him believing in God. Is he being irrational? Is he just foolish in this one area of his life? Is it hurting his life (as many atheists claim religion is)? And if any of those are true do you feel like you have the intellectual authority or capacity to say anything to him about his own life?
Quantum computing in the nose
Yes I can, but only in the past few months did I learn. I used to use all of my fingers but my hands sort of danced around the keyboard and I would have to look down to check alignment every so often. I learned to touch type qwerty for 3 months, then switched to programmer dvorak a month ago. I wish I had stuck with touch typing when I first learned it in middle school.
It could be big, but I don't think photo sharing is the right platform for what they are trying to do. Facebook allows you to connect with people who know you, twitter lets you follow people you know, but the next big website will be the platform that lets you find people in your area that you don't know but should. Whoever figures that out will be a millionaire.
I have a weird, hybrid way of typing. I don't have to look at the keys to know where to type, but I don't fully use all ten of my fingers. I type without using my pinky fingers, except to use them to press the shift keys.

I had about 20,000 in one day. I don't know what rank I held because I wasn't aware that I'd made HN until 12 hours later.

To that point, my blog had been getting 25 to 50 views a day. I hadn't even turned off moderation. Big mistake. I got 60+ comments in that time. It would have been so much better if people could have seen each other's comments, some of which were very good.

My 15 minutes is over and now I'm back down to about 100 views per day.

It's only shipping on commercially sold tablets.

That part may have been confusing. "Technical college" means "trade school". It was meant to be disparaging, to make a point, relative to the persona she gives off as a chief scientist involving machine learning.

We're agreeing here.
Still not sure I understood: I assume the point is to share (currently only photos) with people near you in both space and time.
Why would you do that? You're right there. You can directly see them right?

Or is it something where you go somewhere and you can see photos taken at this location 3 months ago or something? (ie, they use space but not time for proximity)
When I first started programming, I used the hunt and peck method. Life was tedious.

Then I took a class called "One Hour to Touch Type" from the University of Washington's Experimental College. I actually learned the entire keyboard in about an hour. I practiced about 20 minutes per day for a month to become proficient.
But what happens if you have 500 people in different rooms in the same building? "Detecting when people are taking pictures at roughly the same time in the same room" sounds like an awesome piece of technology with about zero practical uses in terms of iPhone apps. Sure, if you have a bunch of uncoordinated autonomous fly-robot things, it would be great to give them really cheap sensors and stitch everything together Dark Knight style, but who needs this in an iPhone app?

Hello, we want to share with the HN community our startup, Pictorical.

We are two nomadic entrepreneurs from Chile, and a growing community of artists worldwide. We illustrate classic stories, publish them as ebooks (in Apple iBookstore- Kindle and Google coming soon) and sharing the profits with the artists fifty-fifty. Artists then can earn money doing art, thats quite difficult for them.

We look forward to your constructive feedback!

She's doing sentiment analysis here (or trying to).

Notice she mentions that the website she's talking about has a higher positive score (about 2.x, she claims) than negative score (about 0.99) and thus it should because it's about a nice park or something.

Look more closely.

That positive score has a "e-09" on the end of it.

There's about 9 orders of magnitude between the two scores, and the positive score is far, far less.
This is a fair point, and one I hadn't considered. Bravo!

But, getting Twitter doesn't mean Twitter pre-any-users-at-all was worth investing $41m at a possible $80m valuation. It might still not be, as it has no business plan to speak of.

I guess I'm naive, but I usually apply the "can (Facebook|Google|Big Company of the Decade) copy this quickly?" as a measure for the value of a service, but then again, it doesn't seem to apply for Place checkins (neither Facebook nor Google seem to have made too much traction against FourSquare) nor GroupOn. I guess that's why I'm not an investor :)

My second reply is simply: free markets.

If there was a better ROI for young entrepreneurs, they would do it. There is nothing that scales like the internet/software that can be built with such a low cost.

(See other comment re: email)
It's a lot harder to break into solving real, hard problems.

For instance, consider the market I know: neutron physics modeling of nuclear reactors. The existing solutions represent a ton of accumulated domain knowledge, but they're none of them very user-friendly or well-integrated into either the reload design process or the document creation process, nor were they designed with certain improvements in technology infrastructure (distributed computing, GPU computing) in mind.

Getting into this type of technology is hard, though - you need to pay for access to nuclear data files, and vast reserves of historical data are essential for validating your code's predictions, as well as reams of experimental thermal-hydraulic data for building empirical correlations. Information about modern neutron transport algorithms is scattered throughout academic journals, and unbiased comparisons, to say nothing of sample implementations, are so rare as to be nonexistent. Once you've done all of this work, then you need to produce all of the documentation required to convince the NRC that your algorithm is accurate enough for design calculations.

And after all of that, chances are the utilities will just buy the fuel vendors' codes because why deal with two companies, and the fuel vendors will keep using their in-house codes, because fuck you, that's why.

To compete in a market like that, you need connections, and you need experience, probably way more than 4 or 5 people's worth of either. A minimum viable product is probably a man-decade or so of labor.
Would be interesting to hear what the average typing speeds are. I would guess somewhere around 80 wpm?

Yeah, I too noticed the mic and camera monitoring being an integral part of the app. It seems to me they realize privacy issues stemming from this and are trying to downplay them by calling the microphone an "audio sensor". And this just does not sit right with me. Feeding users half-truths for their own sake is a slippery path.
