i used to browse with firefox's cookie prompting on, so every time i would visit a new site, i'd have to manually allow it to set cookies. i'd usually deny them for everything and only allow certain sites to set cookies, to avoid tracking like this site is describing. denying cookies broke quite a few sites and the prompt became annoying.

now i just browse with cookies enabled, but the "keep until" setting is "i close firefox". now every time i close firefox, all the transient tracking cookies and other bullshit are erased. for sites that i actually want to stay logged into, like hacker news, or that need to store long-term cookies for authentication like banking sites, i use the "cookie monster" add-on and just click its icon in the corner and tell it to allow cookies for the current site and no other 3rd party hosts. my current firefox cookie list is small, and only has cookies for sites that i know about.

VC's have access to more information about a company than employees do. If you have the choice of places to work, do you want to work at a company vetted by Sequoia, who has the best deal flow there is, or vetted by a VC you've never heard of? Do you want to work for one whose follow-on war chest is hundreds of millions, or just a few million? One who will be able to help in crucial times, or one who adds no value? One whose involvement alone brings press at every new product announcement, or one who gets no extra attention from media? All things being equal, the value for an employee of working at a company with a top VC ought to be near the same as it is for the founders (with a little less upside).
Hi Thanks.

Yea an activity filter is one of the features and also a daily/weekly email of events happening in your area right to your inbox.

I agree on buying some eyeballs but right now I'm not plugged into this community enough to see those opportunities. I wouldn't know where to start. Like how do I find communities that revolve around solving the boredom problem, besides reddit (which I've done)/digg/4chan/etc?
I live there now and the hill is on my running path (as is Facebook HQ, sadly). Apple is many miles south. There's no way you can see it, let alone Google.

Next time I talk to Nick Bilton I'm going to give him a hard time over this.

I aggregate a few different services, the most popular being meetup.com. I currently integrate with 5 different event providers and looking to add more, but in a holding pattern until I figure out my next move.

I think I reached out to padmapper during launch. Maybe time for another message.
Like an old game console. Perhaps she'd like a computer with an OS more close to that, like an iPad?
all the faq links are broken for me
Definitely happened to me too. Also, I've noticed the ATMs at convenience stores, bars, on street corners etc are usually the swipe ones and the ones at banks are usually the keep your cards ones for some reason. To me the ones that give me card back right away are much much nicer as it's much harder for me to forget my cash than my card, and it means I only have 1 thing (which is my goal anyway) to get from the machine. It's nice that basically the ones around the places I wind up when I'm tipsy in the middle of the night are the ones that're set up so they're hardest for me to mess up.
how do they make money??
The 70 year old of today did see a dizzying array of new technologies arrive before the PC or mobile phone, though and many of them learned to use VCRs, camcorders, color TVs, compact disc and cassette players, etc. without a problem. Are computers fundamentally different due to their abstraction and lack of physicality? What if the technology of 2050 is fundamentally different in a way we can't even understand?
Question is, are there really any true benefits to these microsites that just show the equivalent of a twitter search on a separate page. What would make a user want to click over to it? I kinda understand the point of a site like texts from last night, but I think that has some unique appeal. No?
It was probably a reasonable risk/return calculation on their part. What are the odds that they will be on the losing end of more than $3.14 billion in patent suits? How much interest can $3.14 billion earn between now and the time these hypothetical damages will have to be paid?

The calculation might have gone differently if it hadn't been for the fairly recent SCOTUS decision that made it more difficult for a plaintiff to obtain a permanent injunction against distribution of an allegedly-infringing product ( http://www.patentlyo.com/patent/2006/05/supreme_court_v.html ). If it hadn't been for that decision, the Nortel patents might have been worth $3 billion and then some.
FWIW, this was an intense project to pull off. 1000's of tweets per minute from Twitter, 8000 requests per second on http://askobama.twitter.com (where the same tweet was also delivered by us and rendered correctly).

We're not lazy or sloppy... It basically boiled down to one server sent down the right header...the production one didn't.

Unicode issues are sorta in the class of "gotcha" issue. They happen, you go "oh shit" and fix them right away. Our "oh shit" moment just happened to come at the most intense possible moment....in front of the president, with so many watching.

Wanted to reiterate once again: We're Hiring! @efalcao on twitter. Early stage startup looking for exceptional talent.
I've been using it for a few weeks now and really like it. There are a few clunky bits and I've yet to find a way to send them feedback. That said, it's a product I wouldn't mind paying for.

I just hope they release a mobile app sometime soon after launch.

fwiw, github doesn't really care about disk space for free plans as long as it's not being abused.

i was hosting the source code for my android rom on bitbucket because i would have had to pay for a big github account (over 1gb of code in 166 repos). i emailed github's support team and they said it wouldn't be a problem, so i moved everything to github.
I haven't used it much but I know Producteev is also geared for teams and lets you assign tasks to others.

I think a lot of these comments are interesting. Perhaps chrome's versioning is not made apparent to the user, but I'm sure all of their competitors know what is going on.

Regarding anti-trust: Anti-trust laws are laws that are intended to prevent monopolistic measures. I posit in the article that by controlling both the client (chrome) and server (Google Docs, in addition to GMail, Google Search, et al) that Google is in a unique position to perform monopolistic actions. I'm not the only one that thinks Google may be doing something nefarious either - http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2011/06/ftc-launchin... .
Yeah, that's why I started not filing. Four years later, it was the scary debt.
Wrong. By neglecting to properly process encoding, you shut your application off from everyone except the English-speaking population of the world (and even so, with bugs like this one).

Such mistakes were excusable in the 90s. They're the sign of an amateur programmer today.
No, I think we can safely assume that the investor in this case is also a crazy person.

If someone's been in the industry for a decade (and wants to be an entrepreneur), or went to school less than 10 years ago, I'd be hard pressed to believe there's less than 100 people they know and remember who would want to connect via LinkedIn, etc. I'm a pretty crappy networker and I don't add connections on FB or LI to people I don't know, and I've still got over 1,000.... I don't think 100 is much to ask. And I'm not saying it's a dealbreaker, just something that might mean you should investigate further.

(To give a more concrete example, I once realized that someone claimed to have gone to a particular college, but didn't have a single person on either FB or LinkedIn from that school in their friend lists. Doesn't that seem a bit fishy?)
I assume you mean FB lists, as the groups feature is quite different. /pedantic
Really, it's not that hard. 99% of the job is done for you. Just use some UTF-8 encoded text to test your app before letting the president of the United States use it.

There is no excuse for not testing your app for basic i18n brokenness. It's 2011, not 1998.
Hi there...

I noticed a few things you may want to look into.

Good news first - I kind of dig the tones of purple you chose. I don't see those tons of purple too often and it provides a nice contrast against the grey background.

And now some criticisms:

1) This page is very difficult to use with a screen reader/no mouse. Consequently, the sight impaired will have a whole lot of trouble using it. You may want to do some reading into the Americans with Disabilities Act.

2) The site is completely non-functional with Javascript turned off. Even the text on your contact form is out of alignment without Javascript. Thankfully, your drop down menu system appears to use CSS instead of JS - great work!

3) Your FAQ page would benefit from better typesetting. As it is, it looks quite crowded.

4) The right side of your FAQ page looks quite empty.

5) If I were you, I'd put a whole lot of work into your FAQ page. I found some of the answers a little hard to understand.

6) It is only available for use in the United States. I guess that means I broke your Terms of Service....please don't sue me. You might want to mention something that restrictive on your home page, especially since you snag location by default.

7) Your Terms of Service page needs something on the right hand side. So does your Privacy Policy.

8) I'm not keen on the position of the 'Share with Facebook' button on your home page. Personally, I'd try moving it down around 5px (I think) to center it against your menu, then right align it so you get a clean line down the right side.

9) Finally, I don't think your page makes a very effective use of white space - it seems crammed together and that makes taking it in, figuring out what it is, and actually using it rather difficult.

"and that caused Google to back off the research". Do you have an article or other sources for this? It sounds very interesting.

Is the "teaching" requirement for a patent really weak in court? It seems to me most patents are obfuscated works of legalese and ought to be invalidated on that basis, by a relatively clear reading of the law.

Or is it too easy to pay some expert witness $1000 to come in and say "yeah, that's totally clear to me and I'm an expert, so nyah nyah nyah."

What makes this any different from me just spinning up my own aws windows server. They must have to mark up prices to make a profit so why not just do it myself? Its an honest question, not a critism.
Although this may sound cheesy, anyone who got the chance to participate in something like this would be geeked. What's more is that Zuckerberg has created something that could take on the major tech companies. The best part, he's got 750 million people riding his coattails. He's conscious of the phenomenon that he's created. You'd Simba the fuck out of your programmers too if you were him.
That sounds like a pretty good business opportunity. Simple SEO for small businesses.
I've been using http://checkvist.com for a little while now, and the UI for it is absolutely perfect. You can do everything with the keyboard really easily, and use the mouse to drag around stuff if you want.
I thought the same thing when I went to the website, though it looks like it simplifies things a bit, particularly in regards to billing. Might be good to have the advantages on an FAQ page somewhere.
DDOS attackers are charged under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. They charged one of the kids from the Anonymous DDOS on Scientology with "unauthorized impairment of a protected computer in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1030 (a) (5) (A) (i), (B) (i)." http://secretdox.wordpress.com/2008/10/18/usa-v-guzner-plea-...

I realize this is the same statute that they are going to come after this guy but they couldn't get him for impairment of a protected computer. They would have to try charging him for unauthorized access, but my point is that Apple is implicitly authorizing everyone in their stores to access their computers.
The biggest problem for me is that I don't really understand what I'm supposed to do or if there's any purpose. Perhaps a blurb on the home page on what I'm looking at and what I should do?

Secondly, the layout design could use some improvement. For one, the text of the status updates seems overwhelmed by the gary bars, italics and green text. Perhaps a design more like Twitter or Facebook where the status update is better represented?
Potentially very interesting stuff, thx. If anyone plans to use this data to inform a purchasing choice, one note of caution: phones with higher utility that often connect via wifi will almost certainly show higher reconnect rates due to Android battery management idling the device in 3G mode and then switching back to wifi when in use.

Also, seems that using median rather than mean for this data might provide a better picture of the most likely outcome one could expect.
The speech thing is interesting. Thinking about it some more, I suspect the big difference with Indian English vs Australian is that the Indian version seems to have smaller gaps between words (to my ears at least).

On US accents - have you seen the US Accent Test[1]? taking it as a foreigner is pretty interesting. Apparently I have a Northeastern accent (I'm from Adelaide).

Compliant browsers without any of the subtle differences and hacks. A performant Canvas implementation, available in 2005, would have been neat.
Also puzzled about this too, since the pricing scheme differs from a per/usage AWS fee. Maybe they're going the way of traditional shared hosting companies by banking on a very small percentage of their users actually ever achieving high traffic?
I spun up my own SQL Express / Server 2008 instance using the Amazon provided AMI and had my site deployed in about 10 minutes. What exactly is this service doing to make that easier?

Np - let me just say though that I am not a legal expert, I've only gone through the process before is all and can share my own advice.

Trademarks are always a good idea if you have certain intellectual property that is unique to your service (logo, taglines, ect).

Unfortunately, I cannot give you a specific suggestion for your situation.

However, I would say that if you expect to take on outside investment in the near future then you can save yourself a lot of headache by just starting as a C corp.

If you are going to build your company slowly, bootstrapped, growth all in-house - an LLC is probably your better option.
That is hilarious.

The Apple Store is NOT a public place. Neither are their computers. Why would you even think they are? Can Apple ask you to leave their store for any reason? Yes. Could a private citizen or corporation ask you to leave a park? No. They are two very different things.

It also doesn't make a bit of difference that it's in New York and not in Bellingham.

It is broke, though.

How many times have you heard someone complain they failed to save their work? It just shouldn't happen - the computer knows exactly what was inputed - why should it ever lose track of it.

The "Save" function is a carry-over from the time when storage was expensive and slow, and humans had to make decisions about what was worth saving. Now, computers generate a lot more useless logfiles that are saved forever than a human can possibly generate using a word processor, and yet we are asked to make a decision about if we really meant to put out inputs into a computer.

That shouldn't happen any more, and with good software it doesn't.

In Google Docs - for example - there is no "Save" function - it happens everytime you press a button. There is no "Save As"; instead there is "Rename..", "Make a Copy.." and "Download As.." which perform the distinct functions rather than overloading "Save As.."

Since the games themselves are written in Java, could you potentially make another implementation of Flax that runs directly on JVMs (e.g., directly on Android without using the browser)? Or it it tied to closely to GWT to do that reasonably?
I don't know much about marketing or SEO, these are merely the uninformed impressions I had when I read your post. Anyone who knows better, please jump in.

"She doesn't have the time or the knowledge it takes to promote herself online."

It sounds like her problem is less her web site, and more her lack of time or ability to market her business.

If she can't market her business, then an improved online presence would end up being an ineffective "build it and they will come" project.

A marketing web site is just a tool, and your mother in law should be actively using her tools, not buying them and laying them down.

I don't think that you needing to know that you are now part of an art exhibit that he is using photos of you without your permission is really okay as long as he'll "take them down" if you ask.

There's a reason that tv shows and such need you to sign a release if they video tape you in a cab for example before they put it on tv. It's to basically say I'm not going to sue you if I'm humiliated by being on your show. I would bet that anyone he featured who felt humiliated could probably sue him.

> Who are you to decide whether his work is or is not art?
> I agree that censorship isn't relevant here in the sense that it's applied to art,

And the article and headline about an "artist" makes it look like a "work of art" is being censored.

And who are you to decide it's a work of art? It's not. If you think otherwise, you are entitled to your opinion.

> That store really is a public place, and the computers within it are basically public in every sense of the word.

They are owned by Apple and you are allowed to use them per Apple's discretion. The same argument extends about public places - the park is public doesn't mean you can go there and take a dump.

Regardless what constitutes a public place, there are norms.
