I've worked for a guy like this once. He managed to ruin the best ideas and kill fledgling projects by insisting on adding the latest buzzword features into products, even if it made no sense at all. This was mainly so he could ejaculate embarrassing press releases about the newest nonsensical features, give talks about them and meet people entirely unrelated to our products or business. One such feature was "Twitter integration" on a locked down, behind-the-firewall corporate product, another was "GPS support" for a desktop application.

Whenever a team member got tired of all this and left, he would go through a routine of badmouthing them, claiming he had fired them because they were harming the company. Despite a fairly potent team behind him, the company regularly fell out with customers due to not being able to deliver on the nonsensical promises he had made.

After a while, despite his excellent bullshitting skills, the company had earned a reputation for not delivering on promises and the remaining staff had little to do other than hand over projects to whoever the enraged customer had appointed to take over. In the end all staff had left, the office relocated to a basement and his wife (the co-owner and voice of sanity that permitted the business to even keep going for this long - especially during his lengthy unexplained absences) had divorced him.

If you care more about fame and fortune than about making a good product, please don't start a tech company.
I think it is just that it takes time for any new feature to mature enough that it is implemented in browsers interoperably. For example, the first implementations of a CSS3 module generally require vendor prefixes, but eventually it makes it to candidate recommendation, which is when they must drop the prefixes, because this is required (and also that tests pass that it is implemented interoperably) for the module to move to proposed recommendation.
i doubt it's all in the batteries - the volt is a substantially more complicated car. The volt can get away with a smaller battery than other EVs as it doesn't need such huge range - it'll still be a substantial cost, of course.
Ask HN: Midwestern Kid Goes to Startup-Land. How to make the most of it?
So after reading HN for so long, I've finally made it out to the Bay Area. Even better: it's Palo Alto! Unfortunately, I'm only here for two months on internship.

What advice or tips do you have for someone who wants to squeeze the most startup-juice from their time here? I've got Steve Blank's tour guide, but I'd love to see some early startups in action, meet people, etc..
The $7500 tax credit is getting gamed by some dealers who resell the car to other dealers and take the credit for themselves. I don't know how widespread this is, but it's the kind of thing that makes my blood boil:

The title should probably be "Why the sex that dominates university admissions dominates academic research."
An internal combustion motor is, at best, about 20% efficient [1], whereas if you burn the same fossil fuel in an electric power plant using a combined cycle configuration you can reach 60% [2].

Now the electric company loses some of that by sending over wires to your house (or where ever the charger is) but its still a big win. What that means in mathematical terms is that if you took the same fossil fuel we burn today in cars and instead made electricity out of it and ran our cars on the generated electricity, we could either have nearly 3x the cars for the same fuel, or the same number of cars using 1/3 the fuel.

The win here is that if you have room to build a big heavy specialized machine to convert fossil fuel to electricity you can invest in all the things that make that really efficient. Whereas if you have to put an engine in every car, there is a financial and weight limit to how complex you can go (not that some of the extreme low sulfur diesels aren't wicked complex, they are).

Also you don't need rare earths. You only need them for permanent magnet motors. A fully electric car can by built with practically none, they are available locally if you need them[3].

[2] "In general in service Combined Cycle efficiencies are over 50 percent on an on a lower heating value and Gross Output basis. Most combined cycle units, especially the larger units, have peak, steady state efficiency efficiencies of 55 - 59%. " - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_cycle

Mindlessly walking to the fridge and stuffing something in my mouth, then doing it again, then realizing I was actually just thirsty.

Also, sleeping enough and not at such weird times.
Thanks a lot man. This was really useful, I am on my first steps with unittest.
i dont totally agree since there are people that get electricity for free and others who are just in it for the fun. Think of folding@home or seti@home which both were very popular without ANY financial incentive thus i reckon mining will be on the edge of profitability but more on the unprofitable side.
Adding to that that in germany for example i pay .3USD per kWh so i am out of the game much sooner than others.
To me my WM is more than to just wake up less groggy. Using tags I'm trying to identify anything that would help me sleep better. This is where I think WM is missing out:

I see a leader board but no way to get tips or compare notes (tags?) with other users (specially those in the leaderboard that seem to be sleeping like freaking kings) I would love to figure out how to get a 90+ night when I'm currently in the low 60 everyday.

Gmail concept won't work for plus as what is a social network without a network. If they have load issues they should start with influencers (like they did) and then keep letting them invite their friends. Then their friends can invite their friends and let it grow from the seed. It is wacky that my friends have to get an email update rather than experience the network with me.

I adamantly insisted through the whole Facebook is a Google killer period, that when Google decides and turns its eye towards FB's turf - they won't be able to compete. For two simple reasons:

1. Google has more of everything.
2. When Google commits to something they don't give up after a failed attempt. They learn and come back meaner and badder.

What I like about this service is that it offers (not in beta mind you) actual value as it seems. And I mean that in a productivity sense, not just vanity shots and addictive "click like an automaton" games.

I believe that it is time for someone to hire me as a strategist.
Strange, the old interface had a sort by "trending" which is sort of what you're looking for. Not sure why it was removed.
> (1) if they go mass market, all that electricity will still have to be generated somewhere. Coal? Nuclear?

All of these alternatives are probably better than generating the same power, less efficiently, distributed over a fleet of small power stations ranging from fairly clean to horrifyingly dirty. There are large environmental advantages to centralized power generation, at least in the ease of regulation and emissions testing if nothing else.

Completely agree. Cocoa is appropriate for creating minimalist, system-styled UI. Not for rich flow-based content rendering. See Versions.app: native where it makes sense (filesystem treeview), Webkit elsewhere (history browser).
There are generally three ways: beg, borrow or steal.

Beg - stimulating demand, i.e. marketing to random people or actually paying people to use the site

Borrow - grafting an existing community onto the site, i.e. finding a forum creaking under the weight of classified ads

Steal - pulling users away from a competitor, i.e. specializing for a niche or SEO

I would recommend the latter two when you're small. If you can find vocal and dedicated users, even from somewhere else, they're like gold.
That looks like a good way of doing it as well but I'm not all that positive to having my phone in bed with me.

I occasionally move around quite a bit during sleep and I'm sure others do as well, I don't think my phone would survive that long if we had to share a bed.
davewiner,

What have you built lately?
mid-range sedans can easily be driven into the 40s.

Really? Here are some numbers from Kiplinger's "best midsize sedan" list from 2009:

* Sonata 32mpg highway.

* Mazda 6 30mpg highway.

* Chevy Malibu 33mpg highway.

* Nissan Altima 31mpg highway.

http://www.kiplinger.com/columns/car/archive/2008/car1207.ht...

Cars.com mentions the best in each class for 2011, and it's the Nissan Versa and Sentra, each at 34mpg for the "Midsize Cars" class.

Looking at FuelEconomy.gov, listed by class ("family sedan"), the only midsize sedans I can find that break 40mpg are the Passat diesel (43mpg) and the Hyundai Elantra (40mpg), the next highest is 31mpg.
How Airbnb.com actually does things that don't scale and succeed with a scale
Seems likely. This is basically then just more in the category of VASIMR. However, compared to VASIMR this method seems somewhat less complicated and possibly capable of a higher Isp and higher thrust to mass ratio.
I used Wyoming Corporate Services (the company at this address) to set up an LLC a couple years ago, and they were the most wonderful people to work with.

(I would only contact them a few times a year, but when I did, the lady on the phone would remember me, "Oh hi Derek! How are things in the music biz?")

Their service is 100% legit, they're prompt and friendly, and I recommend them highly.

As most of us know here, there are many valid reasons to set up your corporation in a neutral place that is not your current residence.

Maybe you're online-only and traveling the world.

Maybe you're starting your business in one place for now, but you feel kinda "one foot out the door", and feel you're going to move it somewhere else some day.

Or maybe just because you want to, it's legal, and you need no other reason than that.
It sounds like technobabble because technobabble is a crude imitation of dense technical jargon. Sometimes reality sounds unrealistic.

I have no idea what the official rating is, but my 1998 Buick Lesabre gets about 31 highway on a consistent basis, and it's not even vaguely designed for efficiency.

Of course, city, which is where I live, is closer to 19 or 20.

Any others?
They tend to do this. They'll be sorta quiet for awhile and then boom boom boom, nonstop shipping of products and improvements released to the public and lots of press coverage and light on them.
I guess if they're spherical they're consistantly difficult to hit, even if you play spinning animations on them. However, if they're discs, and they rotate on X or Y, their size as a target will fluctuate. I made that mockup with just aesthetics in mind, but changing the shape from spheres would definitely have gameplay implications.

nocipher's definition are correct.

And I have, so far, 5 infinite families with, respectively, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 pieces.

But details matter, and you might start to question what it really means when I say "piece." Does the definition I've given really capture your intuition?

But I need to go back to writing the article.
Don't pop the champagne just yet.

Virtually all fonts listed in Google's directory render poorly on Windows in larger pixel sizes. This is caused by the lack of ClearType-specific hinting in these fonts, and it leads to the appearance of so-called "nipples" - odd pixels sticking out at the top and the bottom of glyphs and from thin horizontal strokes.

More bad news is that properly hinting fonts for ClearType is a relatively expensive process, and very few foundries do it even for commercial fonts. Unless Google goes beyond simply listing fonts and starts cutting cheques to polish them, these fonts will remain largely unusable for Windows' audiences.
I don't see the range as the issue, but the lack of instant refueling.

I don't get too worried about my car's total range since I can just stop and get gas every 10 minutes in town. But the problem with electric is that it takes 10 hours to recharge. Is there a solution to that besides hybrid gas/electric?

Former Shake Product Designer: Apple Doesn't Care About Pro Market
I don't like that OTR allows the person your talking with to deny that they said something they said. I'd rather have pgp signed/encrypted chat so I can prove who said what.

I may be misunderstanding but I think OTR sends the encryption keys with the chat (to accomplish deniability), and while this means your text isn't transmitted in plaintext, it may as well be. Im open to being proven wrong though.
I don't understand how you can have read the page I linked to and have come away with the impression that I was in any way referring to that specific photo.

Here's a simpler example of the type of work which I, and the Tate, are primarily talking about: http://www.tate-images.com/results.asp?image=N01543

See the "Digital image (c) Tate, London" watermark on the image? Given that the original painting is 122 years old and therefore well out of copyright itself, the gallery are asserting that there is copyright in the photograph of the painting.

Here's another one: http://www.tate-images.com/results.asp?image=N06032

In this case, the painting itself is only 61 years old, so the original is still in copyright, as indicated by the "© The estate of L.S. Lowry/DACS 2011" entry on the right; note that there is still a "Digital image © Tate, London" watermark on the reproduction photo: one "orginal" work, two copyrights.

Having a quick google around, there's an interesting short article at http://www.museumscopyright.org.uk/bridge.htm about a US case brought by a UK company which seems to clarify that the position is different in the US and in the UK: in the UK, there is still presumed to be copyright in photographs of artwork, while there is not in the US, so it's a little more complicated than I thought (who knew?).
It's all marketing. One day we'll look back and be amazed that people felt they needed to own two-ton 4WD land tanks with 500-mile gas tanks to buy groceries.

What percentage are married and/or have kids I couldn't even guess, because we don't ask...

Is this something you don't ask because you don't think it's a useful question, or because your lawyers told you to not ask it?

I would expect that "what does your significant other think of this" would be an illuminating question where relevant, both in terms of demonstrating an ability to recognize problems and demonstrating an ability to overcome them. Certainly if a startup founder was planning on moving across the country and answered "I haven't told her yet" it would be a big red flag to me.
Interesting! Too bad Google doesn't list that limitation, eh?

Since I don't have a Windows machine to access right now, what size is "larger pixel sizes?" I'd like to know what I'm working with.

This article raises some interesting points, but ultimately I'm skeptical that it will go as far as described here. Mainly because one of Google's greatest strengths is providing a high quality user experience, and I just can't see them sending a user's contact data directly to several call centers as a result of one click. I think going down this path could be a really bad move for Google, and it's in their best interest to keep at least one party in between themselves and aggressive telemarketers.

GUI layout is not programming; it's GUI layout. (Or, more concretely: it's specifying a dataset.)

When software construction is finally "solved", visual representations and interfaces will be common. Our current mechanisms are simply too crude, lacking sufficient methods of abstraction, to work well. In fact, they do the opposite and point out what deep flaws exist in the current state of the art.
It's essentially impossible to charge a battery in the same time as filling a gas tank. The currents involved would be immense, and besides requiring heavy-duty conductors and power electronics, such high currents would incinerate any lithium-ion battery on the market today in spectacular fashion.

Battery swapping is probably the most practical solution, but developing a standard battery pack that can be used in a variety of models and easily swapped - not to mention the logistics and tracking to distribute them nation-wide - would probably take longer than developing higher-capacity batteries.
