Exactly these parameters are the ones helping webmasters identify what the user wants. Knowing what pages are popular, where the users come from and what acquisition channels can you use and at what costs in order to bring eye-balls to your content influence directly what content area is going to be invested into and expanded by the content providers, which makes them do exactly what the user wants.

In a world without analytics you have tons of crappy content written or created at the whip of an executive who thinks she's good at guessing market demand (and nobody in the company can prove her wrong scientifically speaking before the job is done). That content will prove to be a failure when it's launched in let's say 9 out of 10 cases, which means 9 bankrupt projects, 10 times less interesting content on the web at 10 times higher costs of production, which in turn leads to less competition, higher prices (paywalls anyone?), reduced rate of learning/innovation etc.

I have a balanced view on the issue and I know the pros and cons of each side, including the privacy issues involved for everyone when surfing the web. But I'm sad when I see remarks as "I hope your product dies" or when someone chooses to blatantly represent just one side of the story.

I always thought it was a great idea, but they didn't use it for long so it must have drawbacks.

I think there's a practical reason for smaller connectors, actually:

Shorter connectors mean less leverage. The shorter it is, the less likely it is to damage the internal plug / motherboard / case, which is essentially irreplaceable. Certainly in comparison with a far cheaper cord.
No; because he seems to be convinced that the advertising-funded revenue model is the only viable source of funding for content providers.

I can think of quite a few other support frameworks for content creators -- some within the capitalist system, some outside it.

(My take is that almost all advertising sucks, from a consumer point of view, because it's designed to steal the consumer's attention from the item that drew it in the first place. At its worst, it becomes as unwelcome as spam. After all, we've only got 168 hours in any given week to pay attention to stuff: ads steal the only thing from us that money can't buy, and that's time.)

You can only do as much good as your environment allows you to do. Expecting Medvedev or Draghi to singlehandedly solve the problems of their countries is unrealistic.

This is a issue in company like Infosys TCS Wipro. This issue is not present in other companies I have worked. So it is an issue that Infosys TCS Wipro are hiring people with herd mentality.

Hilarious! Anyone read the Wikipedia article about "The Junction Boys", a college football team that Bear Bryant took to the town of Junction, Texas in the middle of summer? He made them do grueling practice in the blazing heat, and withheld water in order to toughen them up. At the end of this brutal regimen, the players who were left went on to... continue to suck and lose almost every game in the season.
Well there's that, and the license raj...

But then there's also an empowerment issue - or so I have come to believe - which is that non-Western companies are loathe to empower their lower-ranking employees to make decisions of any kind.

If I get on the phone to call a bank's customer service centre, and I get put through to an outsource call centre in Dublin or Glasgow I am a HAPPY man. I know the person on the other end of the phone has been given buttons they can press to make my life better. I know that if I explain a situation well enough, and am persuasive enough, that that person probably DOES have the power to change things.

If I ring up my airline to beg for a status upgrade because I got 290 points instead of 300 last year, and I am put through to someone in a Western country, I know that they will be empowered to say "OK", and to help me out.

If I ring up anywhere, and am put through to India, or Egypt, or Qatar, I know I'm fucked. I know that the person on the other end of the phone is not allowed to make decisions. That they have just a script. That they have not been trusted with the authority to help me out...

I don't know why you would submit this; you're potentially ruining thousands of people's lives if they use the same login details in multiple different websites. A login dump doesn't belong on HN.

It even says in the dump:

These guys probably sign into Facebook with the same email/pass combo, so we suggest the following:
1) sign into their Facebook accounts
2) find their family members
3) tell them all about how the victim (you!) signed up to porn sites
4) watch the hilarity
5) tell us about it on twitter!
6) ???????
7) PROFIT

I'm tired of reading posts about "hacking" and website break-ins; the fact that they get so publicized just encourages them further. It's not only the big companies that get attacked that suffer (and in a macabre sense I'm glad it happens, it encourages them to increase the security regarding their customers' information―if only it could be done in a way where no-one else gets hurt), its their customers―innocent people like you and me!―whose personal information is leaked.
Wouldn't a single Baby Bell entering that market (which would be unavoidable in the face of economic viability) have lead to the same outcome?
And now its time for another "Good idea, bad idea." (The PR edition).

Good idea: Cracking Sony, a giant faceless corporation because they persecuted an innocent hacker who was enthusiastic about using their product, and publicly embarrassing them.

Bad idea: Cracking a poorly defended, low-budget porn site and then mocking US military service members.

It has a lot of weaknesses compared to postgres but it also has some definite advantages:

Clustered and covering indexes. If the data needed by a query is in an index there is no need to retrieve it from the table itself. This leads to better memory usage and cache locality.

MySQL has non transactional tables which use a lot less memory. If you store a large number of small records (say three ints or something) that table will use about a third of the memory a similar postgres (or Oracle) table would.

It's not intended as flippant at all. If you check my profile, there's a website where I talk about the fact that I have a very deadly medical condition and have gotten off like 8 or 9 prescription drugs. My remark was intended to be a sincere reply to the question asked: If you are concerned about drug shortages, one "hack" is to live differently so you are less likely to need those drugs (including anesthetic for surgery). Some of the drugs that there are shortages of have shown up in conversation on lists I belong to for my medical condition. I pay little attention to it because I am drug free for the last two years.

I get treated like a quack by much of the CF community. So it's hardly shocking that people here should think I am being flippant. However, in another thread on HN yesterday, there was a story about a $20 fan solving a problem better than the $8 million dollar solution that outside consultants were paid to design. "Hacks" often sound flippant, which is perhaps the reason it annoys me that my remarks on such topics are so routinely interpreted as "flippant" on this board and not a sincere attempt to contribute something meaningful to the conversation.

Is there a national sense in individuals in India that if it was communicated to them that its their family-cultural duty to empower business without corruption that one would make progress in this?

The obstacle seems to be cultural dynamics, Or am I miss-understanding the situation?
This little court in East Texas certainly has made a nuisance of itself. Does anyone know if its possible for a large company to avoid the suit originating there by simply refusing to do business with anyone in this district?

It would seem sweet justice if people who lived down there suddenly found out that they just couldn't sign up to itunes or activate a phone because their address was in this area. Hopefully they'd call their representatives en masse and make enough noise to fix this glitch.
But why did they ban them then? Just so they don't have competition when they do launch it? think Apple's thought process is a bit like a communist's. Why allow 3rd parties to build something when we can build it ourselves?

[edit to clarify ambiguous pronouns]
>less than perfect world

Which is why I included this:

>The fact of which must be accepted to varying degrees, or rejected entirely, which requires you to live in isolation.

If you trust nobody in anything, then you cannot live with other humans. If you don't remove yourself, others will remove you, and that's pretty fundamental in any society. So some degree of trust can be assumed to exist, and where it is placed is entirely outside anyone else's control. If there is none in anyone else helping on the computational trust chain, then to have any trustable system you must do it yourself or go without. There is no middle road.

I should also clarify that I'm not claiming we have anything quite like this today. Merely that such a system is possible - the compiler chain is bootstrap-able with minimal effort and determining your measure of trust of any given build is straightforward: if there's a gap in the chain, the answer is no, until someone you trust fills it in. If not, then yes.

edit: in any case, trust, like the communication it is founded on, is an inherently un-decidable problem. At some point, to do anything, some measure of blind trust must exist - for example, my belief that this universe is rational in a way humans can comprehend. Thus, if anything has been done, some trust exists, and the system is bootstrapped.
Well, of course they're going to get in real trouble. Lots of people are going be pretty uncomfortable over this. That's why it was dumb. It didn't do anyone any good, prove any kind of a point, or make the world any better. Its like jumping up and down, waving a flag and yelling "I'm 15, unsupervised, and behaving badly."

I didn't give a rat's hairy ass about Lulz-whatever until now. I figured Sony made them, Sony will have to deal with them. Now I wouldn't mind at all if the FBI (using a tax dollar or two) went looking for them and gave them a good spanking.

About search engine replacement: DuckDuckGo is nice, but unfortunately works only in a strict english-speaking setup. For any search in a non-english languages, its performance lacks dramatically compared to google.
So, if I summarize correctly the red comment, they choosen the new design because someone at Apple prefers it.

PG has repeatedly said that connections and exposure are NOT the biggest advantage. It is the talent that matters, AND the fact that YC can provide extremely relevant and detailed guidance on all aspects of startupping.

No offense, but you come off like a Google fanboy. Nothing in this article seemed out of line or inaccurate.

The best part is that you say to wait a year for the product to get finished. Then you list some of the very criticisms made in the article.
Wow!! i am very impressed with your lovely post.. i am so glad to left comment on this. This has been a so interesting read, would love to read more here....
You are missing some things:

1. Costs to gain subscribers goes up each quarter
2. Costs to retain subscribers goes up each quarter
3. Marketing costs to get deals for subscribers goes up each quarter

Costs to retain subscribers is missing..what part of loss is that? Do not know have not finished reviewing the S1..

and other difference compared to Amazon..Amazon founders did not attempt a cash out during the loss years...
I have both on my table, so I tested it:
new MagSafe releases much easier to the left;
worse than the old one forward and backward;
equally bad to the right; and, unlike old, doesn't release up at all for quite some distance.

Euphoria is killing your startup
This. India doesn't need a tech based YC, thats why tech startups can't gain as much traction here. The issues we face were the ones faced by other nations a while ago - building infrastructure, and improving governance.
One more point - In India, a startup has HIGHER risk associated with and higher opportunity costs.
A failed startup means - "oh you were such a smart kid, see, you wasted your time! why didnt you do TCS or Wipro?"

I work at a startup, but since its not famous in the country, when I mention it to some of my in-law's friends, I can actually see their face drop "she married him? why?". I'm fortunate to have supportive/unconcerned friends, but feedback like that can be hugely discouraging in a society where people are not highly individualistic.

On top of that, your chances of getting a job elsewhere are drastically reduced if your startup gig doesn't pan out. "where did you work?" leads to an answer that most HR departments wouldn't really care about.
This makes the opportunity cost of losing a normal job higher,especially if you could make it to a brand name firm.

I'd argue that in India, you need to become an entrepreneur later (perhaps at 40-50), when you have connections, and a larger network to fall back on to make things happen.

To give you an idea of what its like to be in one of the better cities in the country, NYT had a great article. It really helps to show at what stage India is currently mired in, and the issues aside from your product you have to deal with.

A lot of these issues you will face in India, need larger firms to help you solve them.
