"Is an app an HTML5 app simply because it makes use of HTML5 technologies?"

Yes.
I had my "life savings" in WaMu. Now it's in Chase. I didn't lose a penny. At no point was I unable to withdraw my money.

What happened with Washington Mutual is not what's going to happen if there's a run on Mt Gox.
There's a contact link at the bottom of Mt Gox's site. That would be the best place to address your "Dear Mt Gox" messages.
Also, if you use large text, the text "Gmail Calendar Documents," etc, overruns the bottom of the black bar. I know there is a way to make a bar that does not have that problem because the orange bar on HN does not have that problem.

Sometimes I like to browse without putting on my eyeglasses, by making the text large.
I'd love to see an attitude of mutual respect in this forum. If someone adds value, they add value. Shouldn't matter the label.
I really hate the holographic look of the tablets. I hope the seachange of Larry Page, Andy Hertzfeld, and the designer of WebOS pays off.
RIM agrees to review its structure
Ask HN: user experience feedback in private alpha
We're about to launch the private alpha of http://getgush.com.

The main goal is to find the LOVE, find users that actually love our product, and figure out why (or why not). I think that people who are good at user experience (in all its forms, not just design) could really help us out here, by being thoughtful users of the product and then talking to us about the UX.

So, if anyone is good at UX, and would like to help us with their feedback, contact me at peter@gushhq.com, I'll get you in the alpha.
There was a really good talk on the new Android Honeycomb UI at this year's Google I/O. The designers talked about wanting to move away from explicit box structures and to use type and spacing more to indicate structure. I really think they're on the right track with this, and they seem to be taking this approach with their new web UIs too.

That said, the left pane of the new gmail interface looks a little too spartan at first blush. Maybe I'll get used to it but it looks a little unfinished to me now.
There's a lot of opiate users who chip/legitimately use their drugs but don't come out because of fucked up stereotypes ;-)
No. I was correct. Interns producing something of value to the company have to be paid, otherwise it's illegal. If you are getting paid, then the discussion doesn't involve you.

Sorry if you don't understand. Your ignorance doesn't make me wrong.
No one gives a damn about the size of your to-do list.

Shortly after the lists became hard to get to my usage dropped. Too hard to categorize my give a shit levels.
Why reinvent the wheel using engineering techniques you only have cursory knowledge of from reading an encyclopedia?

There is a standard method of securing online accounts, using known methods that are currently known to be perfectly safe in every application from financial institutions to the latest social networking site. Triple-salting passwords is not that method.

@nl: I thought he was talking about user lists at first too, but he kept talking about groups, so I tried addressing both. You can see it in my reply.

But just to be sure, I had attempted to use user lists in the same way to restrict posting out and I was not able to.

Further, I reiterate: Google+ does not work like Unix groups. It works like Livejournal friend filters. The groups are relative to whatever you define and it is not global across the entire domain, unlike with Unix groups.

To implement circles/friends list as Unix groups, you would have to introduce the concept of namespaces in which the set of groups is scoped within a namespace. Then you attach individual namespaces for each person. In other words, named sets of named sets. The named sets themselves are not global, even though the members are.

So I just checked again. I see that after I click on -> lock button -> drop-down customize -> Specific People and then type in the list, I can restrict the update there.

I am testing this now: Once I select it, it says "Custom Setting saved" ?? Wait, does that mean I can only have ONE custom setting?

I just posted a test post. The resulting post has no indications that it is a special-restricted post. Along with the customized setting, does that mean that I can set a single default friend's list that I then blurt out to? What if I want to switch around?

If you know of an easier way, I will gladly say, I was wrong about Facebook lacking in the functionality I want.

I've mentioned in other comments here, Google+ defaults to "warren" and Facebook defaults to "plaza". Each can simulate the other with some contortions. That makes this more like a set of Evil Twins (http://www.ribbonfarm.com/2009/09/17/your-evil-twins-and-how...).

Meaning, if you don't get why Google+ is a killer app for me, then you don't really need the functionality it provides like I do. And that's reasonable by me. Whether or not this means that Google+ will "kill" Facebook (I doubt it) or not, I don't really care much about it.
I think, if anyone's going to do it, Google's much more likely than Facebook, that's for sure.

They still have a big incentive not to, though.
that seemed weird that they wouldn't just use that, but the facebook platform policies don't seem too keen on that kind of use (which makes more sense than your post, considering the legal claims facebook has made in the past against harvesters of their data, but I could still be wrong).

https://developers.facebook.com/policy/

Is this how those facebook -> google+ exporters are working, though?
Want To See Which Ads Perform Best? MixRank (YC S11) Is A Spy Tool For AdSense
Hmm two issues that google needs to resolve with this. The new ad bar at the bottom is constantly obstructed by waiting for mail.google.com ajax request, so it is effectively useless. The color of the compose mail button needs to be changed asap.
Reason why none of that matters now: Zynga's crack-like games.

2008: You sign up for Facebook and are immediately bored. Then you discover pokes and inane surveys, and have some fun once a few friends are signed up.

2011: Facebook entertainment has become Zynga's click-slave crack-code, and that's what brings in the 'normals'.

Google+ is where Facebook was in 2008, but without the fun.

These are the first questions I had upon signing up to Google+, and to my knowledge they are unanswered:

* Where are my friends?

* How do I bring over my contacts from Facebook? (the Facebook --> Yahoo --> Google+ thing was ridiculous)

* What can I do for fun?

Google+ has exactly the same problem that almost every other Google product has had: its value isn't immediately apparent. It's amazingly opaque for a product that people hope will dethrone Facebook. Add to that the fact that there are none of the 'fun' things that Facebook has, and I fail to see how this is any sort of competition.
When people are unable to get their money out of an exchange, they don't much care about the difference.
nl pointed out some things and I went back and checked it again. I was wrong about some things.
Pah, in my day we'd just email stuff to huge copy-and-pasted lists of the email addresses of everyone we knew.
We are better at detecting words with negative meaning than positive.
For all the "circles" flying around, when I first heard about it I figured I'd be able to do some set-theoryish organizing via venn diagrams. But I can't.

Maybe I want to send a message to my "friends" circle except not this friend in that circle, and maybe I don't want a new circle for that new group but just for that message (or maybe I do want a new circle on the fly like that called "friends minus person" or "true friends" or something). Maybe I want to send a message to everyone who is in my friends group and my schoolmates group, but not people who are just in one or the other. etc.

And the feedback button on the circles page is stuck on "analyzing the page" so I have to come and post here. Edit: Looks like that was caused by a script blocked by noscript.
Just sent you an invite!
I don't think Google+ is aiming at your mom for Google+. They're going for people who use Google products hardcore: mail, documents, messaging, news etc. Circles is innovative solely because it takes the idea of a list and makes it manageable. Facebook works for mom and pop because it solves their communications problem with their kids. It's easy to share photos and post little notes at your own convenience. For people who are working and have coworkers and friends on the list, circles makes it easy to keep one separate from the other.
So if you're Microsoft in 1999, you bake it into Windows.

If you're Google in 2011, you bake it into search.

All you do is make your core product heavier. The thing you wanted to kill doesn't go anywhere. It hardly notices what you did: http://scripting.com/stories/2011/06/28/googleYawn.html
"If you don't have the contacts and the experience of engineering a proper bis dev strategy, you ain't going anywhere."

Sorry, complete nonsense.
If I told a YC-caliber startup that I'd give them $18k for 6% but wouldn't be able to make any introductions, then they'd probably tell me to take a flying leap. So, effectively, some part of a YC-like incubator's equity take is compensation for introductions.
There's RTSJ (or jrts) specifically designed for real-time use. It has an incremental GC that is overall less efficient, but is guaranteed to have bounded wait times.
I don't know of a single person unable to withdraw their money from WaMu as it went under. All of WaMu's accounts were then passed on to chase, and chase honord them. If WaMu went under, the savings accounts would have been FDIC insured. None of that will happen if Mt Gox is compromised in some catastrophic way.
I actually don't kind much how it looks but speed is important. UI performance is an important UX. Hopefully the new GMail UI is faster than before.
Antimatter15 style is great
It honestly hasn't been that much of an issue for me. Sometimes the server is down for a few minutes, an hour max but then things are back up and running quickly.

The signing server is part of RIM's security system. It basically allows RIM to control the quality of applications. For example, in any software that proves malicious will get their developer's key instantly revoked - and the server won't side that developers applicaiton. Malicious apps can be instantly revoked by ALL device simply by putting that developer's certificate on a blacklist and pushing it down to all devices.

To do security like this, you need a chain of certificate signings and a controlling server.

And enterprises love security like that.
Where are my friends?

They seem to be showing up one by one.

How do I bring over my contacts from Facebook? (the Facebook --> Yahoo --> Google+ thing was ridiculous)

Ah, but that's exactly what I don't want to do. I want to start over with a friends list that contains people I actually like and am comfortable sharing stuff with, rather than a sundry collection of people I met twice plus folks I sorta-knew at high school plus ex-girlfriends I can't bring myself to defriend.

What can I do for fun?

So far it's mostly "talk to my friends". And that's not too bad!

Right now, G+ seems like a more "grown-up" place than facebook. If the market segments so that twenty-and-thirty-something professional types are primarily using G+ and facebook remains the hangout of choice for cow-clicking high schoolers and their grandparents then I'm fine with that.
Not much. You are perhaps a little more likely to find super-tuned GPU/FPGA implementations of SHA2 than pessimized blowfish, but it's not inconceivable for someone to write the latter. bcrypt is easier to pronounce than PBKFD2.
I don't think anything I write can relieve rtm and his family's pain now. All I can hope is they take comfort in the thought that the pain will fade and what will remain are teh memories of an extraordinary man, and that nothing will take those away.
Ask HN:  What are some ways you can lose your startup?
This great presentation by Joe Stump the other day [1] got me thinking ... one of the slides says in nice big capital letters, "YOU CAN BE FIRED FROM YOUR OWN COMPANY".

A commenter here on HN said there's a 60% chance you'll be gone in the first year post-funding, whether accurate or exaggerated it's still obviously a terrifying proposition! [2]

There's not a lot of literature out there talking about what went wrong [3] so I'm very curious.

What are some of the ways you can lose your startup?

Google gets hammered by monsters it created
Here is a good follow up article about Myspace.

http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/11_27/b42350539...

Article gives a good overview of the type of corner both Facebook and Google don't want to be in.
I know, but it has been like that since BlackBerry OS 5 which came out years ago. It is the older devices especially the ones that came out way before the iPhone did that don't have this ability.
Estimates of the computing power of human brain vary widely, the ones that have some logic behind them range from 0.1 to 1000 petaflops. IMHO, they tend to be very "pro-brain", and should be seen as an upper limit.

Currently, the fastest supercomputer does abt 8 petaflops. This might be already 80 times more than the power of a human brain. And it could be less.. but where is your 10^10 factor from?
thanks for pointing that out - I prefer the old dense design because of how much more can fit on the screen when using my laptop. I even zoom it in twice.

I find myself setting the zoom level on a lot of these new 'modern' designs. I like to keep browser windows narrow so I re-claim some of that real estate by shrinking the page down. Some of these sites, like Twitter, look weird on normal zoom levels and feel too spaced out

It might be because I grew up using applications that only had 800 or so pixels to work with, so everything was dense. anything that is spaced out I associate with accesible versions of software made for old people, the vision impaired or babies - weird that it is what is considered 'modern' design now
You can experiment with box2djs separately at https://github.com/HBehrens/box2d.js

There are a few other javascript ports of box2d floating around, but this one seems the newest. It's fun stuff, and I can get well over 100 fps in a 640x480 canvas in Chrome.

The posted grid system is broken in some versions of IE, Opera, and other browsers I'm sure but I don't remember which other ones suffer rounding errors offhand.

It amazes me how, with so many existing grids that do it right, someone can write one that's wrong. Or would bother to in the first place.

I agree with huckfinnaafb - OOCSS is better implemented if you want a simple grid
There are stories (see consumerist.com) of cash withdrawals not being possible.

I admit I got a little off track though. My parent specifically stated withdraw money when he wants. There's plenty of evidence that at the peak of the crisis, some people had problems. But I agree, it seemed to have been few, and in the context of Mt Gox, it isn't really relevant.
haha! Thanks for the info.
Indeed. I can believe that (maybe) sometime within the next few decades we'll have hardware theoretically capable of running a simulation of a human-level intelligence. I don't see any indication that we'll have the relevant software, nor any particularly good idea of how to write it.
I'm one of the founders of MixRank (we're in the YC S11 batch). If you guys have any questions you can post them here or send them to the email in my profile.

The part that TechCrunch left out was that the idea for MixRank started as an Offer HN post(remember those?) where 150 startups asked me for marketing advice:
http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1839163

I realized that I was giving the same basic suggestions over and over again, and wanted to productize and mass produce strategies for building successful paid traffic campaigns- which usually involves doing market research and figuring out what's currently working in the marketplace.
I absolutely agree with what they said here. Non-techies are, in my opinion, essential to any tech startup. They provide a lot of insight and perspective that a techie might not have. They see the world in a very different way and can provide ideas we might have never thought of. Not to mention they will most likely be better at sales and marketing than any of us. However, the ultimate resource they can provide is time. Since they cannot sit down and code the product, they can spend their time working to build buzz and find customers so that when it is launch time you already have a customer base lined up. At the very least they are a way to see if your brilliant product can be used by a normal person.
Just tried it and I actually prefer it to the right side ad. It takes up less space and is slim enough not to catch my eye.
Will strong AI ever enjoy a gin and tonic at the end of work on a summer's day? Will it ever feel the endorphin release from a strong run on the treadmill? Of course these are rhetorical questions. AI, however you define it, is a machine, a tool. It may become arbitrarily powerful, but that's all it will ever be; and it will always be a creation of man.

I live in India. The quality of life at the bottom here in India is terrible, but that's irrelevant. I'm comparing the US poor to India's top 10% (lets not even discuss India's middle class).

The average poor household in the US has 2 rooms per person, a car or two, air conditioning, and all sorts of consumer goods.

http://www.census.gov/prod/2008pubs/h150-07.pdf

I recently visited a family in Bandra (one of the poshest suburbs of Mumbai). They had 0.75 rooms/person, no AC, an inconsistent and undrinkable water supply, no car and a single bathroom about half the size of any in the US (i.e., no separated shower stall). My understanding is that this is fairly typical for their strata.

They are in the top 5% (roughly) of India. If Indians can save 20% of their income, so can Americans.
This is true that competent entrepreneurs are extremely rare.

Here is an example of one of my cases dealing with such.

Mr. P schedules a meeting. He is familiar with technology I have designed. He has an idea to enhance it with new functions, combining it with another technology he has licensed and market the combined product. He already has 10 employees, an office, an incorporated company, a working prototype board, and a reasonable contract. Before the end of the week we have signed a contract, which I had no concerns about, and he has written me a check for $1.2 million. I then ramp up, hire, expand and integrate my designs with his, and a year later the product is demonstrated at trade shows which leads to sales.

Here is an example of an incompetent idea guy. He wants to make umbrellas, briefcases, and hats that are made out of fabric which is a combination solar array and video screen. They will be self powered and show video advertisements which are downloaded wirelessly and which create income for the umbrella user. He has no technology for any of this, but that is my job. It should be a simple matter since solar, wireless and screens are all mature industries. I am to fund all development and manufacturing in return for 5% equity in his new concern.

That one is probably the most coherent and well developed of the "ideas" I have heard over the years from these characters. Don't worry, he has contacts in the industry, connections that will make UmbrellaScreen Ltd a guaranteed billion dollar company. It can't possibly fail.
This looks pretty "complete."

If all I want to do is send password reset links to addresses from my database, what's a better minimal/simple solution? Maybe use the smtp server of some account that you have at gmail or fastmail or similar?
Didn't they have just as much incentive not to when they released buzz and wave?
Mitch Kapor and Ray Kurzweil made a public bet on this back in 2002. Mitch challenged that "By 2029 no computer - or 'machine intelligence' - will have passed the Turing Test." Stakes: $20k to the EFF or Kurzweil Foundation depending on the winner. See: http://longbets.org/1/
Making millions of dollars and feeding thousands of families is not failure. Failure would be shutting the doors.
I understand that. I am curious how effective insurance deposite works in the face of a country-wide breakdown. I know Greece has a deposit fund, I'm curious to see how effective it'll be (does it actually cover 100% of the deposited money (up to the maxium per account)?)
The simulator has had the ability to reload an edited and recompiled app without needing to do a full reboot. This feature has been there for about 1.5 years (if you count the beta period).

Good points on the older OS 4.6 devices. Right now we have something like 95% of all app purchases done from OS 5 and OS 6 devices, so going back to OS 4.6 has not been considered worth it for many developers for some time now. I do it just to be nice to my users but I get less than 2% OS 4.6ers coming in.

In general RIM has been really good at pushing users to upgrade their devices so in practice you would see most 8900 buyers come out with OS 5 on their device.
Except they have a lot of money in the bank, and better distribution.

Palm might have worked out better if they'd had those things too.
As I recall, fcgi can call any program that satisfies a minimal protocol, so why do we need a go-specific fcgi lib?
Hey everyone, Scott here from MixRank. Ilya and I would love to hear any questions or feedback (or feature requests!) HN has.
A public service announcement for our TF2 newbie friends
It's called Google+ because they just keep piling up functions
The following two statements are not incompossible:
1. At each time T, we believe that "machine intelligence", according to the definition in use at time T, is a few decades away;
2. At each time T, we're right.

They're not incompatible, but the second one isn't true.

It's true that a few decades ago some folks thought that a computer capable of playing good chess would be true "machine intelligence". But they also thought such a computer would be able to carry on a sensible conversation and generally act like a person.

It turns out that playing a decent game of chess was easier than we thought, but building a HAL-like computer (man, I just realised that movie is nearly fifty years old!) is still incredibly difficult.

Still, I shouldn't even be talking about "building" an intelligent computer. The hardware is the easy part, the software is the hard part. Surely by now, all the supercomputers in the world are quite capable of simulating a rat's brain. But are they? Hell no, nobody has ever written a rat-brain simulation and nobody has the foggiest idea how to start.
Thanks, it looks cool.
