I think a killer move from facebook would be a 'SHOUT IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS' button for each post. It would be effectively like tweeting (individual posts) and would have critical mass pretty quickly due to fb's scale.

Maybe it would be a nightmare building another twitter overnight or they would be pilloried for copying so blatantly. Additionally, it's occuring to me right now that a big issue would be deciding how to integrate those shouts into the newsfeed... oh wait by following people.

With social networks, what really matters is how users think they should use the graph. It matters whether it's a personal or professional graph. That's why social networks are "balkanized" across personal/professional lines.

I find G+ especially useful in a "semi-professional" use case. G+ is just an extension to gmail that adds some easy ways to organize work groups.

For example, a meaningful percentage of my gmail activity is sharing links and info with project teams. It's more intuitive to me to create a circle for each team and post to them via G+ than it is to prepare an ad hoc email to them each time. Also, I'd rather organize that conversation as a private stream with discussion, etc. It avoids clutter in my gmail inbox.

I also spend a lot of time chatting and talking on Skype. Now that I can organize group video chat via G+, I can cut Skype out of my workflow. I don't like using the Skype client at all.

I realize that solutions to these use cases existed before G+, but G+ provides a unified interface that has a powerful effect on my willingness to organize a graph inside Google.

I can see Google+ taking off for enterprise users of Google Apps, once it's released to them.
Well, reading the actual explanation page by the author of libupskirt, it's obvious she's not upset by being tricked into using that name, but she's upset because of the reactions of other people to that name.

She's quite clear she "did know the sexual and voyeurism connotations of the word “upskirt”", but she was caught completely surprised by the shitstorm created by people that felt offended by it.

So if you're looking for blame, blame the white knights on their high horses of political correctness, for giving somebody so much shit over what could have been just a childish joke [like there are many others, as pointed out ITT], that she just wanted to quit and have nothing to do with the entire shitbasket anymore.

Just read it. Even after knowing exactly what it meant, her horror is at the reaction of the angry PC mob, that is making this word out to be much worse than the harmless innuendo she intended it to be.

This woman is clearly intimidated, so much she's making blanket apologies left and right and just wants this to be over. But ask yourselves, who's she intimidated by?
A notebook and a pen can be a highly effective personal productivity system
I have seriously tried many productivity systems during my career, and I find that they all have their advantages, but they just can’t cover all my needs. Finally I had to abandon them all, and return to where I began.
So? The point is, not all jokes are appropriate. Some are offensive. Some jokes are just a lead-in to violence. Some just work to belittle people, little by little. So, yeah, the "ex-girlfriend is a bitch" joke should be ostracized.
I'm not real big on envy. I'm pretty good at getting my own needs met. I've met Players.* I think it's overrated as a lifestyle. They typically don't know how to love, they just know how to get laid, and meeting someone who treats them like a human being (instead of a piece of meat) seems to frequently change their priorities. So, really, I'm okay with who I am and where I'm at in life. And I have no idea what would cause you to infer I'm jealous/envious.

Peace.

* Not to suggest the author is a Player.
New rule: if a presenter shows a sexy, naked or scantily clad woman in a slide, and tries to justify themselves by making a self-deprecating joke, the audience is supposed to say "oh yes you are", spray them with hot sauce, and leave.

rrdtool[1] can be configured to "merge" measurements in various ways: by default, the pixel at (say) "4min" is an average of the measurements at (e.g.) 3:30, 3:40, ..., 4:20 [2], but it can also be configured to be the maximum (or minimum, or median) of these measurements.

[1] the database and graph software which underlies most (Unix?) server monitoring tools, including e.g. Munin and Cacti.

[2] Or the measurements at 4:00, ..., 4:50, or those at 3:10, ..., 4:00; I forgot, and it's not important.
You don't owe anybody an apology.

There's a probably apocryphal story of the ancient Romans having a dwarf in the chariot with generals at their victory parades. His job was, when the throngs were shouting the general's name, to whisper "Nah, you're not really that special."

Sometimes I think some folks need whatever the opposite of that dwarf is. I know I have needed it on a time or three. Ignore this if I'm stepping on toes, but otherwise: you're doing pretty darn well. You got into YC. Yeah, you had a product shot out from under you, but it happens. All your buddies will tell you the same. You then subsequently made something which is both technically impressive and rabidly loved by users. Very, very few people can say that. (It may not look that way, given selection bias among the folks you know personally, but trust me: hundreds of millions of dollars has been spent to less effect than making WarpPrism. Many, many times.) And you're clearly on the ball with talking about the product, which is another thing that not all engineers are good at.

If continuing in the project is what you want to do, great. If you ever want to try something else or just hear "No dude, seriously, you're awesome", talk to someone. I'm positive anybody in the greater YC mafia would say that or help hook you up with the next big adventure, whatever you want that to be. (FWIW: I would, too.)

Also FWIW: Reddit is sometimes bat-shit crazy. I would not let their current opinion of you factor too highly in your "Am I having a good day?" barometer.
IMHO, both sides of the argument are valid. Both Money and Passion are important.

Hugh MacLeod has a great perspective on this:

THE SEX & CASH THEORY: "The creative person basically has two kinds of jobs: One is the sexy, creative kind. Second is the kind that pays the bills. Sometimes the task in hand covers both bases, but not often. This tense duality will always play center stage. It will never be transcended."

A good example is Phil, a NY photographer friend of mine. He does really wild stuff for the indie magazines- it pays nothing, but it allows him to build his portfolio. Then he’ll go off and shoot some catalogues for a while. Nothing too exciting, but it pays the bills.

I don't have anything invested in this one way or the other, but it all strikes me as a bit PC and oversensitive. I don't think I really want to work in an environment where considerations like this reign. I wonder if the author would prefer speech codes in the workplace. If so, I'm glad I don't work with her. I think startups should carefully screen for people with attitudes like the author (note: I'm not saying screening out women, for those who can't read carefully); not doing so could be costly in court, as well as having a frigid effect on company culture.

Yes, during the Roman Triumphs[0] during the Republic and heavily during the Roman Empire there purportedly was a slave who held the wreath of a victor over the head of the Imperator or who ever else was being celebrated and whispered phrases like "Respice te, hominem te memento" -- Look behind you, remember you are only a man and
"Memento mori" -- Remember (that you are) mortal.

I think it is inappropriate to call people names in public. But to be honest your rant is a bit over the top in my mind. It's not objectification, rape, slavery or whatever. It was just somebody calling somebody else names in public. ("Cock" on the boss picture would be just as inappropriate).
I wouldn't listen to people who didn't want it. They don't count. There are MILLIONS of people who don't want your product.

I wish I had a nickel for every time someone has pitched an idea on a website and the people shot it down, but he wrote it anyhow and it turned out to be a huge success.

Instead, listen to the ones who DO want it. They are the paying customers. It is their interest that will make the project a success.

I didn't see that he got any 'great idea!' replies, but he might have just left them out because they didn't improve the story. We don't know.
A random guess at the real problem: you have not found a way to efficiently navigate multi-file projects, and thus end up opening tons of tabs. I was going to recommend ctags, but apparently you've already found it (you know about the extremely useful Ctrl-], Ctrl-t?); I've heard people recommend cscope (although I wouldn't run it on untrusted source code), and I'm sure there are other options. If this is indeed the real issue, try to fix that first.

Does it though? There's an assertion here in this write-up that 'bitch' is in the same class of insult as various racial epithets which are far more taboo. I don't think that's the case.

At any rate, this wasn't even a joke. How is it funny? How could anybody think it would be funny? I don't even mean it isn't funny because it's offensive or not, it simply isn't funny full stop. Noah Kagan has a poor sense of humor, and should not attempt to make jokes.

Ditto, how to downvote/flag?
I'm a bit puzzled by this. We're not talking about "workplace speech codes" here, or lawsuits, at all, so you appear to by attempting to insert a slippery slope where there's no need for one.

The case here is about a public presentation where a presenter offered up a rather bizarre, inappropriate image (a faceless woman labelled "bitch") which bore no relation to the talk he was giving, and then followed it up with a non-sequitur about it being "an ex-girlfriend."

Now, it's hard to read that as anything but misogynist, and while it might be considered an ill-fated attempt at humor, it misses the mark by such a wide margin as to make one wonder exactly what Noah thought he was doing.

Trying to dismiss it as "a bit PC and oversensitive" it another way of saying "Since I wasn't offended, I don't need to take seriously the possibility that somebody else might have been." But in this case, even that doesn't seem to fit, because putting "a faceless bitch" on the projector seems designed to shock.
b) Consider that perhaps the part of your mind that makes you procrastinate uses a vestigial model of success: just stay alive. Its strategy is very simple. If you're in mortal danger, do something. If you're not in mortal danger, do nothing. From its perspective, any kind of change in your daily routine risks a trampling.

Show HN: A Mobile App which make the web into an AudioBook
I like reading blogs and books. I also learned English by listening to AudioBooks.
So, I made an iPhone App called “Lisgo” which make the web into an AudioBook.

http://lisgo.org/

What I want to accomplish is to synchronize Reading and Listening.
For example, imagine you read a blog at a bench. Then, when you start walking, you listen to it from the part you stopped reading. When you can sit down, you just read the rest from the part you stopped listening.

However, people might like it just for learning foreign languages, I’m not sure.
Now, I plan to target audiobook users in the states, and target English learners in Japan.
I also add other language voices soon.

Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.
Not if enough people stood with him (even against such an oppressive and confident force).

The problem there being the in his case "enough people" would have been a great many people and contrary to what we tell ourselves us humans don't tend to work so well in large groups especially when you are relying on the rest of the group to stand firm.

That is the point of the quote: many people didn't take action because of the risk to themselves if not enough other people took action too. If everyone speaks out you have some safety in numbers assurance, even if a small proportion of people meet with reprisals. If only a few speak out with you, you are guaranteed to be picked off in short order.

That is not a risk we would naturally consider, and as the quote suggests this locally greedy algorithm for deciding when to act and when to keep shtum falls easily into the hands of a growing oppressive force.

I see how using the word "Communism" can be taken as an insult, I didn't mean it as one. I'm using the dictionary definition of Communism here.

When I think "Communism in American schools", I think of the famous communism quote: "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need."
"This was a conference talk, not workplace speech."

So? Both are public, a conference talk even more so. Make your speech offensive, expect people to react.

"I don't want my conference content modded by the speech police, thanks very much."

Someone's calling out rude behavior -> cry speech police. A little bit on the strawman side if you ask me. This guy wasn't censored, wasn't forcibly removed from the conference. The only consequence of his "joke" was someone expressing their disgust.
If I really hate my ex girlfriend and think she is a horrible evil woman, what would be a good biting derogatory word to use that would connotate "awful female" without other women seeing it as an attack on the entire gender?
Very cool, how does it work with custom domains? Couldn't find anything on the site about that.
>A rough estimate is that it would take $30 billion and 20 years to go from the current state of research to the first working fusion reactor. But put in perspective, that sum is equal to about a week of domestic energy consumption, or about 2 percent of the annual energy expenditure of $1.5 trillion.

Millions of years from now after the human race fails and alien archeologists are picking apart the carcass of its long-dead civilization, they are going to find an enormous number of exactly these circumstances. From education to space travel and power generation this kind of folly is so ubiquitous that it is more newsworthy when it doesn't happen. There must be some aspect of human and group psychology that ensures it. As such it's hard to have much hope for the future.

Just kidding about the aliens though. It's unlikely any would ever discover our ruins.
I think it's cute that he thought Facebook would suddenly start thinking about people's privacy and that their new big product would address that issue.

You're absolutely right that this isn't the workplace. It was a tech conference talk. Which only puts a finer point on what I mean by policing speech. I do NOT want to go to a conference knowing all the talks have been run through some bullshit politically-correct filter to please a given group of people in the room, and if I find out they are, I will cease attending those conferences.

Bootable RFID Live Hacking System
That problem is related to the fact that Circles can be both used as (1)a privacy group of people to which you push stuff and (2)a filter for content published from that same group. To avoid this kind of confusion maybe Google should separate those uses more clearly or just drop (2) altogether.

Another way out for (2) would be doing some kind of circle matching: if someone has shared something with you and a circle very similar to your "Close Friends", it should show on the filter for that circle, if not matched to any circle it should go to a 'general' stream.
FYI, Most TV has subtitles (aka closed captioning) for the hearing impaired.
The only consequence of his "joke" was someone expressing their disgust.

Right. Which is just shorthand for saying, "tomorrow morning nobody is going to remember this." People will just move on to the next outrage. If you don't think the speech is politically correct enough, stop attending the conference.
LinkedIn adverts: not worth the $5 it cost us to use the free $50 of adverts
I wonder why so many people insist that there has to be a "winning" technology. So someday all of the world must commit to generate energy from nuclear fusion (despeite the horrendous cost and quite modest results scientists have to offer for the money spent) rather than harnessing the cheapest easiest energy sources around. Big Fusion (ITER style) looks more like a government program to employ physicists than anything really practical, something like "we already spent so much on this it would be foolish to stop now".

Not to mention the writer forgets there are countries without seashores. How are they supposed to generate their energy in this fusion-driven utopia?
Nothing I said in my comment was sexist, and calling me disgusting is utterly uncalled for. What's your problem exactly? How do you link the word "bitch" to rape and battery? How do you differentiate the fact that this was an ex girlfriend to the situation with an ex boss? What does any of this have to do with work standards?

You just come across as bitter and incredibly rude. Sort it out.
Current state of the Cloud (infographic)
It is inappropriate to call people names in public. It is distasteful. What this isn't is sexism, and it's certainly not offensive to the entire female gender.
Fusion power has been 20 years away for the past 50 or 60 years according to the top scientists in the field at the time. I suspect there's a good chance that in 20 years, it will still be 20 years away.
Just to test it I ran through the embedded viewer, but it wasn't that much faster than watching it (based on the timer in the corner).

Still very cool idea, though.
