But why do they need them? (warning, litteral answer ahead)

Because the makers of the app want to use location to obtain better quality adverts for the financial return of their app. (or at least, their agents/brokers who place the ads want to do that on their behalf).

If you are playing a game or an app with litte monetizable intention-orientated behavior (eg a shoe shopping app would have shoe orientated adverts) then you need to use something like location to at least get one dimension of context.

If you don't want the GPS locations going up, perhaps you should buy the paid version of the app (most do have a paid, no-ad version).
I had much the same reaction, but no, this is very odd. Red Hat has no aversion to contributing to Free Software and possibly forking it to create a supported branch. Why would they push through with Ceylon rather than do this with Scala? I must be missing something that is arguably a clear advantage. I'll blame the QCon presentation refusing to load, but if someone could fill me in that would be appreciated.

That is definitely an option, but not the most preferable. Seeing other companies provide free text messaging demonstrates that it is possible to do so without a subscription fee. I just want to explore all the avenues to be able to do something similar before resorting to charging for the service.

Either way, short codes are still expensive and need to be paid for in advance. Companies that allow others to use already acquired short codes through an API charge relatively high per-message costs. Hence, I will still need capital.
No, not big deal..the big changer in enterprise was and still is Groovy as it sues the same exact syntax as java..while adding stuff java lacks..anything that suggests learning a while different syntax and language on top of it will be a hard sell to any enterprise.

I think part of the issue is, does Twitter consider this a violation? As a communications platform successor to e-mail, are machine-generated messages necessarily "bad" simply because they are hijacking a 1:1 channel? And does a broadcast message violate the spirit of Twitter as a comms platform?

People, please learn from mistakes of the past. Using less-than and greater-than as template parameters was a horrible idea by Stroustroup, but was copied by Java and C#.

Although C# and Java do not suffer from the craziness that is C++, by virtue of requiring a class name, e.g.

template <boolean t> void myclass() { ... code ...};
...
myclass<3>4>(); /* myclass<false>? or syntax error? */

is unique to C++ - but still, all lexing/parsing/syntax highlighting/analysis of the language is much harder because of this horrible choice.

For heaven's sake, please use {} or [] or some other character which does not also function as an infix operator.

(Even APL and K, which overload every character in fifty different ways, don't mix grouping with infix operators)
Pictures of genitalia would only be a source of embarrassment, I can't really see how that is comparable to tax records.
None of which are good reasons for not doing them. The best money makers (or most reliable, at least) are things that other people are already making money doing, if you can find a way do them just a little better.
"Nginx uses an asynchronous event-driven approach to handling requests which provides more predictable performance under load, in contrast to the Apache HTTP server model that uses a threaded or process-oriented approach to handling requests."

Does this mean if a crash occurs, the whole process of nginx will crash? Whereas Apache's processes can be restarted?

Couple reasons: first off YC is easily worth the value in just the introductions alone. Personally I'm about to start contacting angels/seed funds and its going to be a pain in the ass. When you combine the increased valuation in later rounds due to their being part of the group. I'd give up 7% any day of the week, easily making it back in during the seed round.

Don't have direct knowledge of this, but I'd bet that before last year most of the companies weren't even organized (or organized correctly) when they joined the program. When forming the company YC took their equity in the process of filing the paperwork.

Also think about it on the financial side when they started:
investment + time of team + misc = ~$40,000 per company

At the beginning, as an untested concept that was quite a risk. They've just kept their rate flat from when they started, while adding quite a lot more in value.

Aa a wise and very wealthy man once told me: "An idea is worth exactly... zero..."
Meh, looks like an ad hoc copy of some C# features. Scala is much cleaner IMHO.
It's always inspiring to see such examples of people going from novice to pro, and I'm sure the role of a great teacher can't be underestimated. But I'd say the biggest difference between sports and say graphics design or coding, is that in sports you're measured only by how you perform in competitive situations with everyone's eyes on you (and your mind easily wandering to what tomorrow's headlines are going to say). This is especially true in golf where a small glitch in your nervous system can cause you to miss badly.

But the great animators or coders are those who can produce great value under normal working conditions, which are much more similar to practice conditions than the competitive environment in sports.

I can think of one area in business, which is more like the competitive environment in sports: negotiating. The pressure caused by these situations shows easily in your non-verbal communication, and if you appear lacking confidence, it can undermine all your further efforts. The pressure makes some people to crack, but few people can gain extra motivation from it and are able to use it to their advantage. The sports experts often say this is what separates the very best athletes from the rest.

Reasonable explanation. However the paid version of SoundHound still requests location permissions. One would hope then it would only be used as they claim, for storing history locally and the data would not be sent over the network.

Anyone fancy sniffing the traffic from a paid version to see if it is still sending GPS data?
I find that in canada (toronto, ontario) programmers are not paid near the amounts of programmers in the US.

5 years ago i started at 40K (working in Hamilton). Now living in toronto, and i find that newly graduate programmers start around 50K-60K, and senior programmers make anywhere between 80K-100K.

I feel that living toronto/ontario, programmers are utilized as tradesmen, where they service the industry (corporations, banks, publications, marketing firms etc...)

I just wish there was more of a tech/startup industry in toronto, like there is in California, Boston, New York, etc..

Have other sites done this? I think its a solid idea, very based on the real world as well as supply and demand. I have a large supply of mediocre(or worse) things to say but in the real world if I walk around saying those to people that provide me an opportunity to talk they will eventually stop providing me those opportunities. Seems that the devil might be in the details on this one though.

Is karma the right thing for this? Maybe there should be a new thing called a "leave a comment" ticket. Every comment will consume a ticket. Every comment that gains strictly greater than 1 karma will gain you 2 "leave a comment" tickets but you can never pool more than 4 "leave a comment" tickets. I've left pure supply and demand here though and I've capped profit, maybe its more like supply and demand with government oversight. Every 3 days (tunable, like all prior #s) if you don't have any tickets you get a ticket(Socialism?). I think people will either quit being mediocre or will stop coming to the site, for better or worse. All this is under the assumption that other hackers don't like to read mediocre comments. I think all is lost if such an assumption is false anyways. BTW I have no idea how the HN comment system works now so someone correct me if this idea is perpendicular to the current system.

"working in a set of target abstractions that fit well with the problem domain"

I 100% understand the aspiration; I just don't think it works as well as this in commercial software development, where there are competing concerns, not just idealized software construction. Leaving some of the less-commonly used (domain) abstractions out, and instead building them out of more commonly used (non-domain-specific) abstractions, is what I assert is actually desirable, but Lisp doesn't help you much here, as it's almost too easy to create new abstractions. (I'll go further: I think the principal cause of Lisp's relative lack of success is the ease with which it lets you build your own private language, and the concomitant difficulty in teaching other people that language, when you need to bring new people in.)

"If you already have a natural language that experts talk about the problem in"

Your new hires have a natural language they talk about the domain in - a programming language, like Java or C#. They are usually not subject matter experts when they arrive, and certainly they won't be 100% up to date on the particular dialect chosen for your architecture. That's why it's important to choose the right abstractions, and not to move too close to the problem domain.

"statistical work in R. R is pretty clearly better for it."

With concomitant difficulty in finding experts in that language. Whether it is actually a better choice depends on how often those features are needed, which again, comes back to my point: eliminate less-used abstractions, and build them concretely out of more-often used abstractions. So if you don't use statistics much, but do need to calculate a regression or somesuch, then build a function or class for that specific thing, don't immediately jump to R. Every programmer will be familiar with those; bringing in the domain specificity too early will reduce the degree to which you can leverage human talent, and ultimately reduce the value of the business.

"if what that particular something does is underspecified"

In commercial development, everything is underspecified and underdocumented. This won't change.

"one should not be modifying a program that one does not understand (at least mostly)."

This, frankly, is nonsense, and is the reason I've reacted so much to your comment; it makes me inclined to think you don't have much commercial experience. The best way of understanding a program is by fixing bugs in it, and that will involve modifications to areas of it, well in advance of understanding all or most of it.

I've been around since HN went public and I don't think new users are generally the problem. I also think the quality of articles is still quite high, and quality of discussion is usually pretty good.

My personal take is that I find there tends to be a subset of users at a particular time who dominate the site. I tend to feel there is an effect where the users with the least to gain from the site are the most valuable, and those seeking to build their reputation on the site can push out the interesting discussion.

Despite my misgivings, I'm starting to think the lack of comment scores could really help in the long run. I think comment scores give the site a feeling a mutual opinion and that mutual opinion starts to cluster too much.

Start charging money. If you're providing a valuable service people will pay for the 1 cent it costs to send a text message. If you're not then how does knocking 1 cent off the price of a text message make the business feasible?

The primary thing holding your startup back is your lack of commitment, and the expectation that others take risks you are not willing to take. You're a student you have access to credit, get a VISA and put the text messaging bill on your VISA. The reason why you don't do this is because you know that more users will mean a bigger bill. Whereas if you had a business more users would mean more profit.

Why not make it work with twitter and just have the users enable text messaging? What is so essential about texting that makes or breaks the business yet is unimportant enough to your customers that they won't pay for it?
There was a study somewhere stating that those criticizing are perceived as being smarter. I guess we know that instinctively. And I think this applies to self view to: when criticizing someone's else point we appear smarter to ourselves.
Rule #1 for devs during salary negotiations:

Don't answer questions about salary expectations.

Any company worth working for already knows the value of the work you are offering to do for them to their bottom line.

You, on the other hand, do not.

The best outcome for both parties is one where the salary you get paid corresponds to the value of the work you are doing.

For the company, it reduces systemic risk by providing a critical diagnostic for management decisions. Any company unable to reliably hire people to produce the product they are selling at this rate has a huge problem which will not be solved by creating opportunities for competitors to poach their staff by offering marginal pay increases.

For you, it provides a shared context within which to negotiate future salary increases with the company you love working with and not needing to go through the soul-sucking process of finding a new job every 12-18 months.
Thats not at all useful though.

Because there are things that you want to share only with some people (your girlfriend) or close family.

Interestingly enough there are things I wouldn't care if the entire world except my family knew so the circles aren't enclosed within one and other.
Front-End Development Best Practice
The author points to the behavior as a "flaw", but I disagree. There's no defect or bug in the software, it's an architectural design. It would be a flaw if Dropbox claimed that each user's data was individually encrypted with a private key tied to the user's account credentials, but I don't think that claim was made. I, for one, think that the deduplication is actually a huge benefit, saving time and bandwidth in unnecessarily uploading files.

As the author suggested, the only way to ever ensure that you're files are inaccessible to anyone but yourself is to encrypt them locally with something like EncFS or TrueCrypt.

I am guessing that one of the biggest differences between total compensation packages between hiring Canadians vs. Americans is that companies don't have to pay for health care costs for their employees based in Canada. This is mainly because health care is funded from our income tax.

I believe health insurance is a factor for Americans when choosing a job, but may not be as large a factor for Canadians.

From a company standpoint, this should mean that Canadians may be cheaper to hire (although, given that CDN is higher than USD at the moment, this may not hold).

Engineering Time and Creativity - An Interview with Woz
[2007]

Very sad that no one in any semblance of power takes any responsibility for seeing this sort of thing sorted out. Mind-boggling amounts of money, that almost every human on Earth dreams of and works tirelessly towards, squirreled away by opportunistic bastards.
I think the author's point is that this sort of usage is only actually feasible with a very narrow demographic, in one or two places in the country -- maybe New York, Boston and San Francisco. Elsewhere, the chance that there would be even two people in a given bar or club running that app and looking for new friends at the same time is basically zero point zero.

Besides that, in the introductions world, "meeting new friends" is marketing-speak for meeting people to date, or more precisely, to hook up with. And, I can imagine, as the author does, that women would be pretty squeamish about getting involved with a service that announces their presence in a particular bar and invites people to meet them.

In any case, Loopt has this service, or at any rate did at one point -- in one of their iterations, they cordoned it off into its own application (Loopt Mix). I turned it on briefly once, to see what it would do, and to be honest, it was pretty creepy, a lot like the parts of Craigslist that have been shut down ...
Ya, Facebook has answer for this- "Facebook GROUPS". It lets you separate people based on the connection you have with them. For ex, you could have groups like Family, Friends, Collegeus etc. So that an update is restricted within than circle.
True, except for the fact that Foursquare rode to prominence on the backs of hipsters, roaming Brooklyn and SXSW in droves with their smartphones. So, one might argue that if hipsters have moved on, then that's a leading indicator.

Ask HN: What are the changes you made in your life and never look back?
I'm interested to hear what are the changes fellow HNers made in their life and never look back again. It could be anything.

For me:

* Inkjet Printer => LaserJet Printer

* PC => Mac

* Monthly Gym Membership => Home Gym

* Sitting all day => Standing Desk

* Shall-not-be-named-sucky-cloud-storage => DropBox
The 'solution' is easy, be happy with what you have and stop buying crap you don't need. The fact you think you need a 'extra' $100,000 on top of a job and a house(mortgaged or not) is a good indication the issue here is you just want stuff.

The answer to your question though is work hard and ignore your kids. Get a promotion by skilling up then move to a high paid job.

Or start a online company, sell something but make the site also make people want to come back, as before work your but off, know your product inside out, stopping wasting time on the little things.

Or 'easy to read' as in

return x.add(y);

}

Because I don't think that dreck in the bottom is 'readable', it's like giving construction workers a Fischer Price My First Hammer and expecting them to be able to build a house with it. If you're going to make a language like Java at least let programmers take the training wheels off once they are experienced.
Looking for technical co-founder, with a side of integrity.  
I don't if its just me, but does having a business background add no real value to the start up community? It seems like if I am to pursue a route into high tech, the technical guy has all the power to control the direction of a startup.

Currently, I am looking for a technical co-founder to help with the programming of a mobile application. I am currently applied to MassChallenge, check us out here: http://masschallenge.org/content/vesync

Our past co-founder put in little to no work, and has recently "resigned", due to the immense pressures of "too much work". I am looking for there a candidate that is willing to work part-time in helping me build Vesync from the ground up. I may not have funding but I have the drive to take up all the responsibilities of the marketing and business end. You would only have to program on your spare time. I am looking for a technical co-founder who has the commitment to actually build something together. If that is you, please message me back!
