Too bad for all that work, it just got worse.

The photo view experience on Flickr is slower than any of its competitors. Slow slow sloooooow.

Plus recently, some of my photos have started to break (as in broken images).

It just feels like it's dead.

Incremental improvements (that aren't always improvements) aren't what Flickr needs. They need some vision and balls.

> If you buy coffee, it's hot enough to hurt you (or it's crap. There's a range of temperatures that are decent, and personal factors determine what is deemed too hot as well).

McDonald's keeps coffee at >82°C, which is much hotter than any coffee served elsewhere.
was it this (angry) guy http://yourstartupsucks.com/post/6595798517/how-to-fucking-h.... If so that was a lot about the interview process I think rather than job posting.

For the job posting, I think be informative. Ie languages and environment, plus that this is an early (employee 2?) stage hire in a (hopefully interesting/growing/challenging) venture. Be honest about who you are is the best advice. I'd also recommend phone interviews if you want to screen people without using a lot of their/your time and requiring them to travel to you. I wrote up the phone interview process which works for me here http://thecodeofbob.blogspot.com/2011/05/how-i-use-30-min-ph....

Originally we had planned to include a structured editor, along the lives of DivaScheme and Scratch. This was shortly before widespread support of HTML5, so working with what we had I implemented it on top of `contenteditable`. In the end it just wasn't polished enough to ship.
I see bad code all the time. Some of it is even worse than my own.

I might have laughed or exclaimed WTF? or such once. When I was young and green.

Now I am just sadly empty.
Thanks for the feedback! But are you sure your not just seeing me as number 1, with your own personal google goggles? When I search from a new browser, with no cookies I actually appear down the bottom of the 1st page. At least here in Australia. Where are you located?

As for PR 4 - wow! When did that happen. Last time I checked it was a big fat 0. Guess google has updated their index.

Yes and no :-) What else could a user do once damage is done? (before they started investigating, but after the fix was pushed)
What if a business that wouldn't be feasible without companies adopting modern browsers becomes feasible when they do?
The idea is great but somehow the suggestions are pretty weak. I don't know if it can be refined to something relevant, even with results improved with user tracking data.
I will attest to all of that. Exercising feels great, your self-esteem goes through the roof, and, in my case, it just makes moving around (like, actually moving one's body, squatting, bending over, walking, running, etc), much, much easier.
Whenever I'm frustrated with something, bad code just appears on my screen.
For the 4th option (android application to sort photos on phone), last time I looked (about a month ago) unfortunately, there was nothing. Specifically I'm after something that allows me to keep my photo library on my main PC, in something like adobe lightroom, or picassa, then flag and tag photos on your mobile. There are plenty of photo apps out for android, but nothing to help your organise your primary photo library, if its stored on a PC.

Michael Jackson Jacket sells for 1.8 Million
On the anniversary of Michael Jackson’s death, the auction of his Thriller Jacket ended at 1.8 million. The jacket was initially thought to get around $200.000 to $400,000, but the auction held by Julien’s Auctions at Beverly Hills got a whopping $1.8 Million for the blood red and black jacket.

1300? Wow. I thought they were still like 100-200. With Xoom barely selling, Transformer no where to be found, I think that's very impressive so far. Looking forward to a huge increase in popularity of Android tablets this fall when tablets with Tegra 3 and ICS start arriving. Amazon will enter the market in a big way, too with 2 tablets.

I don't see how the web is getting worse at sharing text. If anything, HTML5 makes it possible to mark up text in a more semantic way, improving access for screen readers for the blind, for example.

The fact that people CAN embed movies and audio does not prevent them from posting text. Nor are increasing RAM requirements a problem if you consider the market. I just checked Dell's site, and you can't even buy a laptop with less than 1GB of RAM right now, but you can get more than 16GB.
90% of Companies Say They’ve Been Hacked in Last 12 Months
You need to figure out who will pay you money. To do that you need to go talk to clients. Thats the hard part. Ie figuring out the problem.

Implementation is straightforward because you already have a timeline for it. :) (Seriously!)

Steps:
* choose your best 3 ideas

* create mockups for each

* find customers for them - linkedin, twitter, blogs, google, your
fb friends.

* interview them and see if they will pay for a solution.

* select your strongest idea

* tweak it with feedback

* Implement a simple solution and iterate

Dont be surprised if by the end of the month youve just looped through all these steps!
"It has been estimated for the same horsepower, a Wave Disk Engine could weigh a thousand pounds less than a conventional engine."

Erm... are there any conventional engines that weigh 1000 pounds to begin with? Even high end V8s aren't that heavy. I wonder what they mean by that.
I remember that a rap band had to make a studio re-enactment of George Benson's "give me the night" to use as a sample in a song because Benson simply would ask to much. However using the cover version went OK.

Not necessarily. IE6 is a terrible browser that was made more terrible by its widespread adoption, meaning everybody had to support it.

As more users adopt auto-updating browsers like Chrome (and hopefully soon, Firefox) and as browser market share spreads out, there may not be a single browser that is both terrible and widely-used. So there may be no economic reason for supporting the worst browsers.

And there will be much rejoicing.
Hmmmm, that seems like solid advice. I think google analytics to Paypal buy now button integration is something people would pay $20 to $30 for, if it was a simple .php file people could drop into their web server.

Some sort of hosted solution would possibly be easier for people to use, but then I would have to charge a subscription fee. But then, people using paypal buy now buttons are generally too tight to pay for a proper hosted shopping cart or hosted e-commerce platform (I should know :)
There is also http://caniuse.com/ for compatibility tables, although I'm not sure how different they are.

That's balderdash. These kinds of tools raise awareness of the issue, hopefully making more people think twice about posting private data to a public place. If they continue to be unaware of the danger of doing so, then it is simply exploited silently and everyone wonders how it happened.

Your statement assumes that security through obscurity is a good thing.

Be honest and realistic. Stuff like "we will disrupt the XYZ market" is not something that happens every day, so only say things like that if it could really happen. And even then, think twice.

Loved the quote from Evan Beard:

"Remember that your mind is a fortress of impenetrable happiness."

Common words of wisdom that never seem to be taken to heart nearly enough. Reminded me of another gem from Daniel Gross of Greplin:

"It’s very important to constantly tell yourself if anything, how lucky you are to be here in the first place. Even if you aren’t in the valley, remember how lucky you are to live in the 21st century."

Congrats Art! Thanks for showing us what fortresses can do ;)

"they better be damn sure they are getting the right ones." No, see, the problem is you're not in control of FB. They are still a private company and they get to do what ever they want, obviously within the confines of US Laws and, obviously, to the benefit or detriment of their company. Life is simple: If you don't agree with their practices, then you have the power to chose to stop using their services. Why is that so hard for people to understand?

Hmmm, I think options 4 (android photo management app) and 5 (Paypal to google analytics integration) would be very well suited for that approach. Perhaps I should spend the 1st month on one of the other options, while trying to talk to potential customers for option 4 or 5 as a background task.
More than I was expecting too. Luckily, the vast majority of existing Android apps work well in tablet format without any changes. My Viewsonic G-Tablet is running Cyanogenmod 7 (Android 2.3) and I've got tonnes of useful, well built apps on it.

Was that a quote from the article? It now says "Researchers estimate the new model could shave almost 1,000 pounds off a car's weight currently taken up by conventional engine systems.". Still no additional explanation though.
Final Cut Pro X gets the Social Network trailer treatment
Hm. I'm about 5'11" (~1.8m) and I weigh about 65kg (that's about 143 pounds), and have never had difficulty moving around, squatting, running etc. I typically climb stairs (e.g. multi-story stairs at car parks) by running up two at a time. But I've never had a day's deliberate exercise in my life outside of school; though historically, I've used walking and cycling a lot as means of transportation. I've never owned a car.

Want me to type in my bank's URL and there my user ID and password so that you can "see" if that "password has been compromised" too?
Was your password in plaintext? Just to confirm what others have been saying.
Flickable.js: iOS-style flickable galleries on touch-devices
I actually did.

I've never had a bad experience with it, it needs a lot less maintenance than Oracle does (or did, at least), it performs pretty well (we're an insurance company with large datasets), is integrated in a .NET stack (while you might not want to go there, especially as a startup, it is very nice for corporate work), it came with Reporting Services which we used to replace Crystal Reports, it has lots of (admittedly non-standard) extremely useful SQL functions, data types, etc. And I love SQL Server Management Studio and the other Microsoft tools.

MySQL felt like a toy database in comparison (especially the management aspect), and the non-relational stuff is out of the question for now. We might not have done due diligence by not looking at other alternatives (notably Postgre I guess) but they seem like a poor fit given our developer's strong Microsoft-centric backgrounds. Most of us also have at least one Microsoft training course in their SQL server, and they have very strong support in my country (Uruguay) against nonexistant for most other platforms.
Focus on one. Focus on the one that will have immediate users. (You'll hate working on an app with no users.) And one that people will pay to use. (Because thats your goal.)

Best of luck.
Or they can see how many of their users are using FF and decide if it's worth hiring a "upgrade response" team just for chasing Mozilla's tail. Personally, if I wasn't getting enough money from FF users I would just drop the whole platform and stick with something more stable.
Ah yeah, could be. I'm currently in Vietnam. Through my VPN in UK you also show up as number 1. How can a website hosted in Australia shows up higher in Vietnam and UK than Australia? Except if competition for grafting tools is fierce down under, of course ;-)

Advertising makes things shitter. The Louvre could probably replace the frame of the Mona Lisa with some rotating ads, but it would detract from the content. It cheapens it. PPK has spent years building his reputation through Quirksmode - heck, he's one of my most respected sources because I know he has a great sense of pride in his work.

HN people rely for a lot of their income through ads I know, but it doesn't change the feeling (I changed that work from "fact"!) that it detracts from the content. Thanks for your awesome work PPK, I'm donating now!
Where did that quote come from? In the linked article, the closest I see is this:

"Researchers estimate the new model could shave almost 1,000 pounds off a car's weight currently taken up by conventional engine systems."

A somewhat different statement, though I still share your skepticism.
Google and Pasha to invest in Pakistani startups with $20M
I'm 1.90, 92 kg (about 18% fat) and, although I also go up multiple flights of stairs two steps at a time no problem, I used to have a bit of trouble squatting comfortably, as my knees would hurt.

A month of squats at the gym later, I feel great. Half of it might be good technique, but my knees no longer hurt or crack...
But the intended meaning is 'so cheap'.
Every developer makes mistakes, to err is human.

With that understood, systems and processes should be designed to catch the errors early and hopefully long before they reach live.

This is the insurance policy that TDD gives you, this is why you make all of those unit tests, functional tests, etc.

I wouldn't sack a developer who did this, I'd look at my processes and ask why they didn't catch this. After all, if 1 developer can push low quality code to production, then they all can.

The problem isn't with the developer... as with everything in the cloud, expect failure and design to handle it. Sometimes the failure is human, so design to handle that too.
Looks like it's fixed. I hate it when shared hosting cant handle a regular Hacker News submission.

Otherwise a password-not-yet-leaked will no longer be. If you didn't turn on private browsing as I suggested and are using Safari, type the password you searched for in your URL bar now and you will see why I said what I said.
I was outright laughing by the time I got to "The squares, can't you see, the squares, they're so beautiful".

Because it's so true. It's SO easy to get wrapped up in chaos like that if you aren't truly working as a team. If everyone is off doing their own thing with no code review, it happens just like that.

However, if you add code reviews (or pair programmer, if you are so minded) and good teamwork, it's more like crafting fine art than creating a labyrinth from the inside.
Would you be willing to pay an annual subscription for his online "museum" then? Donations are fine, but, to me it is a method that also cheapens the said content.

I'd caveat that if you often walk around saying things like "we are going to disrupt XYZ market" then having that in your job ad can filter out people who won't like that and filter in people who will.

That's not the case at all. Plenty of countries have laws the make parts of various licences invalid, and it doesn't mean you can't use the software - it just means those clauses don't apply.

People and companies, in the United States, and many other common law countries, have certain duties to other people. If McDonald's serves coffee, they have a duty not to serve it so hot and make it so difficult to open that it can spill on you.

That case is just a terrible example of frivolous lawsuits because it had plenty of merit. Actually the vast majority of lawsuits labeled as frivolous, with huge judgement, tend to skim over the details and make it look like the plaintiff hit the lottery with a mild inconvenience: "Oops, she spilled coffee and became a millionaire!"

While our legal system could certainly use a lot of improvements, lawsuits that actually go to trial are being vetted quite a bit.

In Australia, Europe and the UK, there are laws that make "unfair" clauses unenforceable... where unfair includes all kinds of things you see in every consumer level contract like no liability for death/injury or avoiding delivery with no notice or compensation.
