You quoted a statement Leibniz made about 300 years before Turing proved that there are machines that can compute everything that is computable. I and others explained in comments below, why we have reason to believe, that computers are fundamentally different from mills and that Leibniz's argument as well as Searle's fall flat. By the way, it is not the necessarily the "complexity of a computer that may create a more attractive analogy". The physical parts of computers can be less complex than those of mills. I wonder how Leibniz would have reacted if he had been shown Google. Would he have believed, for example, that the essence for its face recognition software must be "sought in simple substance"?

For more rebuttals of the Chinese Room argument see its Wikipedia page. I like this one in particular: A guy sits in a room and waves a magnet up and down therefore creating electromagnetic waves. But you don't see light coming out. So light cannot possibly be electromagnetic waves.
I would refocus the above-the-fold copy on a 'Hire Faster' value proposition rather than a 'Hire a better tech team' value prop. I am young and foolish, but I don't see how the quality of the hire increases by using your system - but I do see how it becomes easier to manage the entire process, so I can spend more time closing quality talent and less time pushing paper.

Unless I'm mistaken, this is like a hiring automation system - sort of like Salesforce.com for tracking your hiring. If I look at Salesforce.com's Sales Cloud's landing page (http://www.salesforce.com/crm/sales-force-automation/) they focus on giving your reps more time selling and less time managing - maybe a good value prop for Hirely as well?

I think "Don't Let Candidates Fall Through the Cracks" might be an interesting sub-head.

Additionally, pull the Guy Kawasaki quote. I find it confusing and distracting. I start wondering what Guy Kawasaki has to do with your product, and start trying to connect a hiring management system with actual hire quality.

I also don't see "See Everything About a Candidate on One Screen" clearly explained on the first page - which seems to be the most compelling part of your "the story of hirely" page.

Hope this helps - would love to help more.

the stall warning system uses a completely different set of sensors (they measure the airflow over the wings, looking for signs consistent with a stall)

Easier said than done. Unfortunately, as indicated elsewhere in the thread, being poor becomes a mindset. Regardless of how it got started, it ends up there and it's hard to break. Personally, I've tried to help 2 or 3 poor kids just recently. I showed them how easy it is to program, I explained to them why it is one of the few professions with low barrier to entry and literally no limits on potential and I showed them the fruits of my labor (i.e. my coolest and most expensive toys). The result? None of them took a single step on their own. I just couldn't get them interested. One still imagines he's going to get rich making music somehow (yes, I explained why that, frankly, isn't going to happen for him), the others didn't even bother with a plan.
As for labor unions, they've really got to stop selling out their younger members if they want to survive. The unions keep bargaining off younger members' pay and benefits to protect older members. That ain't sustainable

Unions know this but most are between a rock and hard place. When negotiating contracts they can only do it for the people being represented up to that point. Anyone that joins after that contract is signed is on a new, seperate contract. So when a union representative has to bring back the terms to it's members its usually like this, "the company has agreed on the pay scale with us, but any new hires will be on a seperate contract. Do you vote Yay or Nay?" Now each union member has to decide if they will accept the contract as it stands or do they go on strike for some ambiguously defined "future hire".

In fact, this sounds exactly like how our government decides to run its debt. Do we pay it off and take the lumps or push all the hard decisions on ambiguous "future generations"

The fact is people are selfish and unions represent people. Personally, I don't care to join one but I don't get angry at people that do nor do I go postal in chatrooms talking about them.
Yes, but features like ackMate, projectDrawer and visual style make me use Textmate quite a lot (for Ruby dev), which is a pitty because I'm used to my emacs shortcuts. I know most (all?) features are implemented in Emacs, but often in a more spartan way.

I really suck at music, languages I am okay at, but programming is my passion, it is what I went to school for, and honestly I would suggest it to anyone that is interested in it. Sure I didn't get much out of school because I was so far ahead of everyone else, but I had teachers that challenged me and helped me figure out what I wanted to do and that is what I am doing.

Don't blindly follow this guys advice, definitely mull it over, but for me personally it would not have been a good decision.

For web apps in general if you are using an ORM that supports both (and you should be), SQLite is great for development, but Postgres is really the only choice for production.

Lulzsec Hack's PBS in Response to Frontline Documentary
Seems a bit strange to me. A major version increment is supposed to announce "this is significantly different and possibly incompatible".

But now it doesn't mean that. It means 20 years.

There are extremely good reasons not to increment the major version. For instance tools which take the conservative approach of checking for 2.6 will all be broken. Those tools correctly elected not to risk wrong behavior resulting from a major version change.

When you add together the time it takes to compensate for this change for all maintainers everywhere (tools developers, distro developers, everyone), surely it will run into the hundreds of hours, perhaps thousands. All for, functionally, nothing. And sorry for calling you Shirley.

Seems to be an objectively bad move. Oh well. This needless-on-purpose change will cause resentment, but after time it will dissipate.
Why are you using sproutcore for a static plain ol html page? There is no need to use much js on such a page, is there? And then you are ending up breaking the page on old browsers. Whats the point? Are you using the right tools for the right job?

SQLite is awesome because it's so easy to get started with and because it's a single file. This makes it trivial to move around to other machines/backups/etc. You also don't need to setup any server, etc.

All that being said, I've now been burned 3x because small "hobby" projects I started using sqlite have had major problems when they became "real". This is because sqlite is really awful when it comes to concurrency...they're NOT kidding about that in the docs! In one extreme case, I even saw major corruption of the database with heavy concurrent usage. In two of those cases, I've migrated to postgresql, and in one case to redis (a non-sql awesome database that's super-fast).

Migrating to a different SQL solution (e.g., postgresql) shouldn't be a big problem if your database adapter is built well. I'm not really familiar with Flask, but hopefully it should be fine. The things you have to watch out for:

- SQLite has dynamic typing and is very forgiving -- so it will save whatever invalid formats you give it as-is. This can really hurt you when you try to migrate to something more correct, like postgresql.

- Every SQL system has quite different date and time functions, which is really annoying

- Pragma's will of course be different, which might be an issue

- In general, any sort of "advanced" feature will be an issue.

Hope this helps, and good luck!

> Never direct a complaint to the top. A serious offense is to "cc" a person's boss.

All right, I have seen nothing good come of breaking this rule - for many complex reasons. However what is one to do, when his PHB is incompetent/misinformed and supposedly damaging the company? Just quit? Is quitting the appropriate response to everything? Where are we (as species) going if we resign when something bad happens. Go away start anew and have people resign on us for our misbehaving?

Edit: Also what does one do when lets say - working as a contractor and people that hired you intentionally/out of stupidity do everything contrary to what they were supposed to do (a mission critical project and you wait 2 weeks for any response). You quit? You let yourself be sacrificed as a scapegoat. Or do you just roll over and die?

Does not explain who Van der Dennen is or why their opinions on this matter are significant.
I think pg in his essays is saying something stronger, which is that determination is actually more important than intelligence.

And although I tend to agree, let me play devil's advocoate for a moment.
"We learned quickly that the most important predictor of success is determination."

A more important predictor of success could be, ambition. It's different from determination because with ambition you need to make it big, but with determination you just have to have it.

Determination is the wrong thing because to make a startup succeed you have to want it, but you also have to want to make it big.

In fairness, pg touches on this when he says,
"I don't know if it's exactly right to say that ambition is a component of determination, but they're not entirely orthogonal. "
checking for 2.6 no longer means much, 2.6.0 and a current 2.6.39 have so many changes that just checking for 2.6 is not enough anymore. that was one of the reasons for the new version.

I'm curious about the equipment you'd use to display this in a museum: Is it magnified? Lightboxed? etc.
This, in and of itself, isn't particularly interesting. What is, and what doesn't bode well, on the other hand, is the possibility for groups like this to cause another flash crash or some sort of international incident.
A very valid question. :)

First, I wanted to test drive SproutCore 2.0. It's always good for framework developers to be app developers themselves; and just from the feedback and collaboration today I've fixed several bugs in SproutCore. So, that's a net positive, even though I'm sorry there was temporary frustration while we got to it, and it didn't help that I was in a plane for part of the day.

The second reason is that this is just the start. I plan to add many more browsing and filtering capabilities over the next few weeks and months. I hope this can be a good demo for how to build data-driven applications in SproutCore.

A Course for Finding Technical Co-founders?
The internet looks like it has been there forever. But look at the dates, it didn't really took off before 1995, and even then, most people didn't have a connexion yet. The internet is still young. Not many people are using it fully, and we are already seeing significant (though not huge) effects.

Compare the internet and the printing press. The printing press allowed people to read. This was huge. But this was also slow. It took time to spread, and it took more time to get to the enlightenment, and the revolutions that ensued.

Now, the internet is allowing people to write. This is equally huge. Remember the old, pious principles about freedom of expression? Until the internet, few had that freedom: politicians, journalists, eminent union leaders, and that was it. Now everyone can publish.

The internet will enable revolutions. Probably not now, it is too young, but… See what is currently happening in Spain. There currently is a huge protest, which is now becoming more than a mere protest. They are constructively discussing about how to run the country, while explicitly avoiding "politics"[1]. They are too big to be ignored by the mainstream media, even here in France. Their main communication and organization tool is the internet. Without this many-to-many communication platform, they just couldn't have done it.

They may not succeed, but they at least have a chance. And I predict there will be more like it. I don't know what will become of it, but at this rate, there will be huge changes soon. Like, in the next 20 years.

Thank you.

I feel that this failure serve as a catalyst for moving on to something I always wanted to do. I am aware that I may be in a state of mind to look for escape. But I have no intention of running away -- unless I am fired early, I will finish and quit.

I have discuss this at length with my wife and family, and it's just a matter of doing it. A stable salary can be very comforting indeed.

The job comes with a lot of stress, more so than other companies I have been with or heard about, so I know this is not what I want moving forward. And I have a clear idea of what I want to do -- something like what you are doing, have a own products and sell them.

I'd be interested to hear from useful advice from you since you seem to have gone through this before and know more than me.

I've always been shaky on why it makes good sense to assume that the simple multiplication people do of startup share percentages X price they're investing is a good rule for 100% of the company. ESPECIALLY with all the liquidation preferences investors often get, it seems completely unsupported.

The ironic thing is, that the result of the anti-nuclear-power movement is today that we have these old power plants instead of the modern and secure ones.

The reason for recent movements is the success of the Green party, they won the most recent state elections. Their method is in this matter primarily exploiting the fears of the people. They also serve the need for moral superiority. In the long run is this party damaging like extreme left and right wing movements, who are not successful because of our history.

I've supported anonymous like groups in their defence of wikileaks and other such causes. But I'm struggling to understand the rationale of this attack.

If you're a person who wants to defend wikileaks - don't you believe that one should be able to express one's views online without being harassed by thugs, whether they be government, corporate or hacker groups?

While I'm a big supporter of wikileaks and have donated money to them in the past, they are not, nor should not be immune to criticism or negative press.

These people are becoming exactly what they seem to hate. Leave PBS alone.
I can definitely relate to the part that talks about analysis paralysis. When starting a new project, like everybody else, I'm usually faced with several different options on how I'm going to design it, which libraries I'm going to use, what the overall architecture is going to look like, what features I'll implement and so on. And very often, I get stuck deciding between two options, weighing which one is better, which one might prove to be a bad decision in the future and which one might make my code more flexible/inflexible to change and refactoring.

But then I slap myself (figuratively, of course) and remember to "just do it". To just release any kind of working code, never mind if it's a suboptimal design, never mind if there are a few bugs or if it's slower than it could be. The important thing is to release anything. The code can be improved upon after that.
You can't say "whatever the cost". What if it were $1 trillion per passenger? Obviously it's not, but there's some point at which you would change your mind. You have to assign a cost to these decisions in order to have a well reasoned discussion. The EPA, CPSC, NRC, OSHA, and OMB for example all use varying costs of life to make decisions with the value of one human life ranging from $1-$8 million.
