I guess I'm somewhere in between. I've a couple of kernel panics but it's been pretty smooth overall. Safari has been usable again since DP3.
To me this feels like the first time Facebook is trying to catch up to Google instead of vice-versa (with regards to Social, of course).
Also, developers may distrust google (due to adwords cancellations, and google's war on content farms), but they really don't trust facebook.

Remember how Facebook was going to be a walled garden web 2.0 platform, and how Facebook then effectively killed it?

It's not Facebook, it's Vladimir Kolesnikov's weekend project.
I'm not very familiar with corporate management salaries, but these kind of seem silly. Example: Mark Pincus made a 300k salary in 2010, what may be a 100% annual cash bonus, plus quarterly bonuses of "$22,500, $0, $75,000 and $37,500, "

"I conceived, designed and implemented a compelling prototype for it almost single-handedly, and then wrote a fair percentage of the production (...)"

I do this all the time, and have done it many times in the past. For some folks, it's really not a big deal, and not even rare/uncommon. Some people are idea rabbits and can spew out architecture/code, new products, etc. Some can't. Some are shades of grey.

Also, I'd rather see people be honest about the things they can do, than be dishonest about what they can't.
I agree that you should leave it blank but not that "whatever you put down is not really going to matter much" - it matters quite a bit, because your number is too high you could get your resume thrown away by someone in HR without ever being seen by the person you're trying to reach.

People are born curious, or interested, or aware. You might consider that a passion for learning or exploring, which I certainly think you could argue is stronger in some people than in others. But, nobody is born passionate about a career or profession or job. (And yes, passion contributes mightily to success. But it doesn't precede success, which was the point of the post.)

Having seen a lot of people try to find their passion, it's become pretty clear to me that it takes action. You can sit in a room for as long as you want, searching the depths of your soul, meditating, whatever you want to call it, but without actually going out and trying things, you're never going to find something you're passionate about.
Impossible to avoid? Not if they give an easy option to disable it which nearly every person took advantage of with Google Buzz. And people certainly will if Google enables people to connect to their accounts to Twitter, FB, LinkedIn and it is just another site filled with duplicate content like Buzz was.
What's wrong with VistaPrint? I've used them several times in the past - getting something like 100 cards for $5 if I remember right. I thought it was too good to be true, and was pleasantly surprised. (They also suckered me into some other personalized stuff like pens and sticky notes while I was checking out.)

My experience so far has shown that if you're looking for an exact one-to-one duplication of the FF experience, then yeah, Chrome's not there yet and possibly never will be.

Coming from FF I had this funny moment when I opened up the Chrome preferences menu and it opened in a tab, just like a web page (I assume because it is just a web page) and I thought "huh, that feels a little strange..." then I opened up some extension's options page and it was just a web page too and I thought "Actually, preferences and options as just plain web pages is really cool and intuitive after getting over the subtle shock of them not being in those little pop-up dialogs." It unifies things nicely and this approach is one of the reasons why extension development in Chrome can be made so intuitive for people already experienced with web technologies.

Regarding the slow performance of FF lately: I remember some months ago I had this situation where I was trying to debug a JS powered upload progress bar I was working on which relied on AJAX calls to update the length of the bar and it just wasn't updating or it would update once, then nothing until the very end when it would shoot to 100%. Watching in Firebug, AJAX calls were being made but seemingly nothing was coming back. I was stumped, I tried everything I could think of, until by chance I tried turning Firebug off and bam! My upload progress bar started working perfectly. JS in Firefox with Firebug on top of it was slow enough that the multiple AJAX calls needed by the upload progress bar weren't working properly anymore. Looking back, I think that day the seed was planted for my move to Chrome.

Firefox is automatically updated these days just like Chrome is, so there isn't much of a difference between the two in this regard anymore.

You've got to hand it to Google. It's a brilliant strategy if the Nortel patents were being auctioned off in radians.

Unfortunately for Google, the patents were auctioned off in reality.

I haven't tried it yet, but they say it ties in with gmail? Presumably they'll encourage the one-on-one to happen there?
Perhaps they can have ellipses (...) that, when moused over, describe in legal detail everything they collect, so those of us who care for the details can read more into it. But I applaud them for trying to keep it readable and short.

The tradeoff is hard to make, but at least for me, it was a right balance.
"1. IE is getting better, as much as we all hate to admit it,"

I think we'd all admit it's getting better, but it's still years behind firefox and chrome where it matters. The IE release cycle is also so slow that it makes it even more outdated. IE still can in no way be considered a 'modern browser'.

Stats from a fairly popular webapp: Firefox=47.4%, Chrome=30.9%, IE=12.6%, Safari=3.3%, Opera=1.8%

So for me the question is when IE will drop below safari and opera...

The relationship benefits both parties though, if Zynga wasn't on the Facebook platform Facebook's numbers would look a lot worse. Sure Zynga relies on Facebook more than the other way around but I see it as unlikely that Facebook would ever cut them off.

New DES bitslicing circuits found - 17% shorter
Good question. Depends on which one you "count." I started my first computer related business back in like 94 or so, doing in-home PC repair / maintenance stuff in the hicksville I lived in. I would have been 21 or so then.

But what I consider my first "real" startup is the project I'm working on now, Fogbeam Labs. IIRC, I was 36 when I filed the papers to create the legal entity... but the legal entity was actually originally created for what was going to be a consulting business... I just kept the name, structure, website, etc. when I decided to go the product route. By that definition, I guess I was 37 when I started my first startup.

<shrug />
the "o" definitely looks like a butthole.

Just curious on YC's position...

It's all really cool, interesting work. I'm at Game Closure now too, and I can attest that it's great fun. If you're at all interested in this sort of work (or play!), give Tom a shout.
You can add "+facebookcrap" (or anything else after the plus) to the end of your gmail address for things like that and the mail still hits your account, but it makes it really easy to filter out.
Yep, that's explaining what the App does. I'll make that a little clearer now, thanks :)
"Facebook hasn't really tried to discourage indiscriminate friending..."

This is certainly the impression I've got, though when I first signed up, it would ask you "how you knew" somebody, and if you said "I don't know them" then it would disable the continue button. That's something.

In general though, the more people add friends, no matter how trivial, the more information Facebook has, which is why they don't explicitly discourage friending less-meaningful relationships. So even if you probably won't talk to Bob Smith more than once a year, it's still valuable for Facebook for you to add that connection and let it rot: that's added value for them.
I will never install Skype again after they kept installing uninstallable firefox plugins on my computer until Mozilla had to ban the plugin.
I use Safari. Strangely, it's like the better tempered half-brother of Chrome and doesn't come with a Flash plugin I can't uninstall. Oh and it doesn't claim to have adoption statistics that are as dubious as the Enron financial statements.
So, by the end of 2012, Chrome (56%), IE (35%) and Firefox (22%) together will have over 110% of the market? ;-)
If each page you load takes 0.3 seconds and your workload involves loading a hundred pages, that's a tangible improvement.

I'm pretty sure there's nothing publicly available (and nothing privately available that I know of either).
thousands of people have whined about domain names and not followed through on a real, workable solution to the system that does accommodate all stakeholders.

I appreciate the dialogue.

I admit my proposed solution may not be the best at this moment, and does not accommodate all stakeholders, especially domain squatters. It probably is already too late to implement my proposed solution anyway. The domain system in place right now has evolved to such a state that the .com domain has a monopoly over the domain system. The .com has been ingrained in the mindset of most internet users as the end-all be-all due to the unrestriction and initial web registration mind share. This is now being taken advantage of by domainers. They purchase thousands of domains, in the hopes of profiting off of a lucky few. Who gets hurt in all of this? The others. John can't get the name for his blog, Amy sees her cake business's name is taken, Kevin has to buy ICantFindADotComDomainNameSoIBoughtThis.ly. Why? Because domainers aren't thinking of the external effects of their actions and just want to make an easy buck for themselves, manipulating the system to their sole benefit. In short, Pure Greed.

This supply shortage of decent .com names is only going to get worse as internet usage increases. My hope is, as this continues, that .com domains become of less value and internet users become more comfortable with alternative TLDs.

Summary:

Domainers are of no help to society. They must perish. =)
Maybe a lifetime payment would be too expensive? Perhaps a $5.99 one month pass, and a $4.99 subscription would be better?
statistical trolling. EVERYONE knows the IE browser share takes 5 years to budge. Great projections, but it just means Chrome might be eating Firefox's lunch for a minute.
I assume he means the smart hacker types, because they're about the only people who would appreciate that sort of thing.

IE 9 was released in March and IE 10 already in preview release scheduled for Sept. I designed a site around Chrome-dev (13, now 14) and it looked better in IE 10 than in FF4/5. The IE release cycle is definitely not ideal but a 6 month release cycle is a god send.

IE9 is acceptable and IE10 is surprisingly good. I have a feeling the IE team is targeting WebKit as their competition and not FF.

I haven't liked IE best since IE5, long time Firefox user from Phoenix 0.4, but I'd really suggest trying out IE10, it's pretty much on par with FF4 stock from everything I've seen. I still really don't like that it doesnt handle tab closing properly (IE10), but I see that FF5 finally handles tab closing half way decently. Tab handling and the 'awesome bar' or whatever the Chrome team calls it were the biggest drivers of me switching to Chrome. Also, IE10 now has a single URL/search bar which is a vast improvement and puts it on par.
> Don't VCs publish lists of the companies in their portfolio?

Yes, but only after they make the investment. If they're still in negotiations you generally won't know.

> the second part sounds a bit paranoid. I've never heard of a VC funding a company that competes with another one in their portfolio, just to sabotage it

I confess this is pure conjecture on my part, and it would be pretty farfetched for a VC to make a major investment for this purpose. But many VC's have seed funds now. For $100k they can buy an awful lot of influence at an early stage company, and the interests of that company may or may not align with the interests of the VC's overall portfolio.

The chances are small, but I think not completely discountable, especially in cases like the one described by the OP.
This is a good question.

10: First entrepreneurial effort selling lemonade.
13: First software entrepreneurism selling a game on floppy disks.
16: First founded a company, ostensibly to make games.
18: First made a living contracting for myself.
25: First founded a company that became profitable and hired people.

Which one counts?
A Brilliant Way to Garner Facebook Likes
My salary peaked when I was 17. What a ride.
My first startup was started by some classmates and was at an incubator on my college campus. It was before I started studying computer science. In fact, it was the reason I switched my major.

Up to that point, it was the highest skill position I'd had. I earned $8/hour as a PHP developer, and it was the lowest paying job I've ever had. I made more working at my second job (Pizza Hut).

I was 19 when I started.
Early adopters are generally the least loyal of any customer. They are much more likely to take a risk on new technology and give it a shot.
hmm that's no good - we'll check the logs - thanks for the heads up!
Obviously the lemonade stand @ 10, dumbass.
I did some entrepreneurial kid stuff at 12 but first real company was at 16. That said, the option for 16-20 and 20-25 are messed up. I assume it was meant to be 21-25.

To the developers, are you using this with your own friends? Make it more of a hack for your own use (like your own CB radio or something) and see what happens. At the moment, the copy on the front page does not seem "real" enough, like it's written for your friends. It seems more like "strategy copy" or something you'd tell a VC. A penny for every "easiest way", "discover", "location", "around you".

In the interest of reducing sign up friction:

1. There's no need for a "Repeat Password" field. If a user types the wrong password, they can always use a "Change Password" link later.

2. Asking for an "Email Address" would be better than asking for a "Username". You kill two birds with one stone. Most people can remember their email address(es) but I know I don't remember the different usernames I use. Allow users to add multiple email addresses and sign in with any of these.

3. Ideally, you could make it that a user only needs to give you their email address to sign up.

4. Is "Sign Up" really the best copy to use on the first button you want a prospective user to click? What's the information scent there? What's the promise of value? What's the end result of signing up? Be more creative.

5. Things like COPPA, privacy policy etc. can go somewhere else.

Finally, what's your intention with ShoutFast? What's your motivation? Why are you doing this? Get your motivation right and the methods will follow. Don't worry about getting the methods right or cargo-culting. Just worry that you have the right motivation. Spend your time thinking about motivation and everything else will fall into place.

Well done on launching!

Startup Quote: Mark Zuckerberg, co-founder, Facebook
I do not recommend name.com. They have really sleazy DNS practices. They setup parking pages for all of your domain names if they aren't overridden with your own records and wildcard subdomains as well.
Not sure what you mean by A level. Of course you don't need to sound native.
But if you cannot communicate you just cannot communicate. I guess it's pretty obvious. Nobody is going to test your English, but if you will make a bad impression and somebody will be worried that it will be an obstacle, then, well they have every reason to act on that worry.

Just do your thing and don't care about making an error here or there. If you know it's a real issue then go fix it, you will have to anyways.
IMVHO, I'd say it's like asking what was your first kiss.
You may discount the one you don't remember, the one with open or closed mouth, the one where you were interrupted half way and many other factors.

In the end your choice is what matters to you and thus what should matter to the poll :)
The time between GM seed and release could be much shorter this time around, because they don't need to press millions of shiny plastic discs and ship them around the world.
I’d like to show an improved product rather than just talk about things we might do.

I usually consider a first company as when it trips the full time mark: either hiring a full-time employee or working in it full-time yourself.

So the web design gigs at 15 and forming an LLC for part-time consulting don't count.
