Who's up for:
* Boston-Washington Chinatown Bus style service on the West Coast -- LTE/wifi enabled, clean bathrooms, non-sketchy people, luxury. Cover SFO-SAC-SJC-MRY-SLO-LAX etc. Maybe buses to/from Vegas, Portland, Seattle. The problem is the distances are much longer, but maybe it would work?

* Charter service taking off from non-TSA airports, using IT to allow last minute bookings, etc. Priced around domestic first class, maybe around full-fare coach for long prebooking, or at coach rates if a company commits to e.g. 8 interchangeable-passenger seats per flight on every monday and friday flight or something. I think a lot of companies could use 2 seats every week from SFO-NYC, and then just book commercial or buy at higher prices if they end up needing more for periods of peak demand. A lot cheaper than a corporate jet.

very little, clearly.

both can host project homepages in a variety of ways. GC gives you a navigable and clean and usable project landing page by default, while github makes you work a bit harder. neither service prevents you from doing what you want, but if you care about your non-developer users, you'll find better conversions using google code. fact.

to the OPs point, there is no reason why you can't make your GC project page have more content for developers. it is a wiki. everybody loves wikis.

the OP of this thread is clearly trolling, though.
Domestic security procedures are responsible for about 50k extra miles on my car in the past 24 months of driving.

Absolutely, but it has a lot fewer airports. This is what I mean by scale.
Furthermore, even if Iran does make WMDs, they do not pose a serious threat to Israel or the United States. Their delivery systems (missiles/rockets) are very antiquated and can be reliably intercepted and a suitcase nuke has extraordinary low yield.

This is incredibly naive. A simple ship sailing into NY harbor could easily deliver a nuclear weapon, even if it was large and unrefined. This is especially the case for a U235 gun-type (ie Little Boy) weapon, which requires relatively little sophistication.

And even if they somehow gain the capability to effectively use their WMDs they would not do so due to MAD.

Nobody would fly airplanes into a buildings because human beings want to live, right?

Building Findable Websites
I'm also an android developer and have experienced all these problems in the recent weeks. Here is my take on the following points:

#3 seems like its in the new market and hopefully google will fix this problem soon because it makes no sense at all. Its def a new bug in this transition to the new market that goog is probably aware of.

#4 google support has always been horrible. try calling the android market reps in support. the more devs call and express bugs they can usually foward issues to the dev team. Also stalk people on the android team on quora/twitter/google+. this works too! tried and tested ;)

#1 stats have always been bad. they go up and down and don't work for large periods at a time. our stats froze for about 2 weeks. hopefully this doesnt effect our ranking but with the secret algorithm we will never know. luckily we use google analytics and other tracking methods to account for this.

#2 market search is prob the most stressfull thing we had to deal with. for the past two weeks nobody could find out app in the market. it simply just dissapeared. we had 1000's of downloads a day that went to under 100. this def hurt our revenue and app usage decreased due to the lack of new users. prob end up costing a couple thousand in revenue. luckily it seems like they are making an effort to fix this as today we started appearing again and the search results seem to be improving by the hour.

Is the market perfect? hell no! the android market is def bipolar and has alot of problems. For us we cant live with it cant live without it. the past couple of weeks have been crazy due to the all the problems our app was having with the search bugs, etc.

Hopefully as developers we can continue to help each other find ways to overcome the bugs and help google build a quality market. Having a market that works is def a win win situation that I'm hoping to be a part of.

On the flipside these bugs have caused me to develop IOS versions of my app which I probably woudlnt have done if these bugs didnt exist. So looking foward to try that new venue ;)
My points:
1) Why is it required to have 9 questions? Someone with less than 9 questions can't use this because of the form validation. This is an utter UX fail!

2) The homepage needs less text. Its pretty obvious with the first headline what the product is. You need screenshots or a demo video.

3) The actual interaction on the quiz page is kinda cool. The "x" to close the popup needs to be much bigger though.

I know you know that there's more work to be done, but getting the UX right even on an MVP is key. Best of luck!

my take on it is that gc is better at running long-lived projects or projects with non-developer users. github is great, but its emphasis is strictly on coding and dvcs.

i've run svn gc projects, and projects on github, and found the gc stack to be generally more robust, cohesive, flexible, and methodically designed. ex: compare the rich functionality of the gc issue tracker to github and you'll find them incomparable. or, create a project and browse the "advanced" tab of your project and you'll probably find you have more control than it feels like, with little effort.

regarding "can actually host content" - prolly a red herring because both let you host content. they just present a different ui for it.
You will find more men at the bottom and more men at the top - an outcome that is explained well in the essay.

I believe men are better at creating civilization and seeing more men who failed fits exactly in that worldview.
Thanks for the xcrun hint! Does that still handle the application/data deployment and execution, or does it just automate the packaging? All the information I can gather about doing OTA deployment points to still requiring the user to initiate the download, and then run it. I'd like to avoid that if possible because of the sheer number of libraries we need to test.

I sincerely hope we can prevent some circles from appearing in the stream. This missing feature is the main reason why I still use Twitter. On Twitter I have the people I follow so I can get information, while I use google+ to see what my real friends want to share with me. Therefore, If I could hide the "Following" circle from my stream, I would spend less time on Twitter.
If you have browser support, the browser could log you in to your OpenID provider so there'd be no popup.

> In the modern definition, the connotation of the word implies over-generalization. i.e. it's not rational behavior.

In order to keep the discussion clear, I went with the precise definition of the word rather than a colloquial one.

> Somehow we know women are "supposed to" demote the rest of their aspirations and nurture a child all the way to adulthood because they breastfeed a child until it's 2

By saying this, you are implying that raising kids is not a worthy aspiration for women. It is a most worthy aspiration not only for women, but also for men. No matter that I, as a man, may make breakthrough scientific discoveries, become a billionaire and donate it all to charities, or something else that makes a big impact; my biggest aspiration and the biggest legacy I leave to the world will still be my children.

> but a father can pursue his dreams because he need not be around after depositing a sperm donation.

A father plays just an important a role as the mother in raising kids. Since a woman's body is more involved in nurturing a child, the father provides for her and the children. And yes, this means a big sacrifice on the part of the father. But it is something that millions of fathers make willingly and lovingly, one that I will too. For example, I could say I don't want to have kids, a family, etc, and just put my whole life into business, make a lot of money, and spend the rest of my life traveling and vacationing. But if I want to have a family and raise kids, I can't do that. My family would need my money and my time.

> There is such a thing as a sustainable society that never reaches it's full potential...

You have a point there, and I don't have any hard evidence backing up my statement that a society cannot survive sustainably if its women are subjugated. But I'm not saying this blindly either - we do have solid evidence of the kind of detrimental effects a broken household can have on children, and I extrapolate this to a society and I just don't see it functioning sustainably if the whole society behaves like a broken household.

> Most parents want their children to be successful. This does not imply that the children should exist as proxies for them

I think most parents want their children to be successful and they also consider their children to be proxies for them. It's how we continue our culture, our societies, and the human race in general.

For a long, long time it has been possible to organize classes so that students work at their own pace,

http://learninfreedom.org/age_grading_bad.html

and indeed my mother must have learned that way in the rural one-room school for grades 1 through 8 that she attended during the Great Depression. It's good that now pervasive technology is helping teachers relearn that children who occupy the same classroom don't all have to literally be "on the same page" at the same time. That allows more able (or more motivated) learners to move ahead of the meager expectations of the United States curriculum,

http://educationnext.org/teaching-math-to-the-talented/

an improvement that is long overdue.

"Critics argue that Khan’s videos and software encourage uncreative, repetitive drilling."

I agree that the Khan Academy exercises currently are just that, exercises, and have suggested here on HN that the Khan Academy exercise writers do the hard work of building genuine online problem sets.

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2760663

Fixing the nature of the online exercises and turning them more into problems would help with one defect noted in the article: "Of course, kids who’ve grown up on computers are quick to spot the weaknesses in Khan’s system. They discovered ways to cheat on the drills: In the logarithms unit, for example, they noticed that the third multiple-choice answer was always the right one." But as the article points out throughout, what online reporting and pratice has allowed is for children who are already attending school anyhow to use their class time to discuss what are actual PROBLEMS for each learner, with interaction with a live teacher, saving drill for times of the day when the teacher is not available. That's not a bad improvement at all.

I should mention that in my own family we spend money on the ALEKS program

http://www.aleks.com/

for our homeschooled children, and we find that very helpful. It has many of the same strengths of the Khan Academy program (but is not free, nor does it have audio explanations) with a more complete syllabus and more challenging problems. The "knowledge spaces" theory underlying ALEKS

http://www.aleks.com/about_aleks/Science_Behind_ALEKS.pdf

is quite interesting and will probably have to be reflected by any complete K-12 mathematics program anywhere in the world. None of our children actively enjoy ALEKS, but they acknowledge that it is helpful for learning math, and I teach about the more cool aspects of math in the in-person math classes I teach through my local nonprofit organization.
It's a cycle, wait 2 years and we will probably see all that stuff on Google+ and be looking for the next service to simplify things.
Hello, I have a small request. I go to the University of Miami and am finding it very hard to find people who are interested in tech, coding, and entrepreneurship in general. Any tips on places I can go to find people of a more "Hacker News" mindset?

In an atheistic viewpoint, using contraceptives is basically a bug. Look at the real motivations; it's so you can have sex (satisfy reproductive drive) but not have the burden of actually reproducing, so you can still be comfortable. One way or another, it boils down to that. The drive for comfort (or laziness, depending on how cynical you are) is, I assume, another survival instinct to encourage conservation of energy for when it's needed.

Basically, if you don't have an immaterial soul, all your actions are determined by evolution. It's just a question of how optimal your evolutionary programming is. Almost no one really believes this and persists in believing that there is such a thing as moral behavior, which really ought to be a clue.
We have a massive cortex bigger than the rest of the brain. The human cortex in fact can overrides some functions of the rest of the brain.

This is not true for most of other animals.

My point is this: overcoming instinct is possible because of the way our brain is organized (this however requires some training, as we actually do in order to survive into adulthood) and because it is a positive trait.

The fact that this is not more prevalent indicates that perhaps overcoming instinct is not really that positive (the limbic system with its feelings and hunches probably helps detect cheating in a more straightforward and efficient way than deep thinking about it).
I'm assuming you're using Twilio for this (if not, please correct me). How can you charge 2c a minute when it costs more than this from Twilio if the user is doing forwarding? Do you just hope that the monthly charge makes up for the deficit?
Why do you need to add money?

Can you name an industry in which the much-feared deflation has occurred in the last fifty years? How has that industry done in terms of wealth creation?

Why do you think that the economy isn't capable of adding money if necessary? Are there any historical examples of the opposite occurring?

Why do you think that exponential growth makes sense in a finite world?

Keep an open mind: the banks would prefer that you didn't.
I'm not the OP, but here's why I disagree with it. Functionally, there's no way for you to appeal overage charges. Very few consumers have the ability to measure their bandwidth usage, and those that do do not have the legal firepower to challenge ISPs in court. I mean, even if you manage to get a day in court, who are the jurors going to believe - the ISP with the $50,000 traffic measurement box, or you with a BSD router lash-up? In practice, bandwidth caps mean that ISPs just get to either drop or drastically throttle your service towards the end of the month by saying you've exceeded your limit.

I won't accept bandwidth caps unless a) usage is determined by an open, transparent and verifiably accurate method and b) there exists an appeals process by which one can appeal erroneous cutoffs. Without that, the power inequality between ISPs and regular consumers is an invitation for abuse.
How to lockup the in-flight entertainment system on a Boeing 777
The Stealthy Panda
Providing problems automatically on a website like Khan Academy is technically very challenging, because problems are hard to write. Currently, the many exercises are generated automatically with random numbers every time but such a scheme is impossible with harder, deeper problems – instead the problems need to be written thoughtfully and carefully, something that is hard to do on a large scale. In addition, answers to problems are usually significantly harder to verify than answers to exercises and so would be hard to implement on a large scale like Khan Academy is trying to do.

Like you point out in this post, problems are probably best left (for now) to individual teachers who can spend more time and effort on individual students than is currently possible on a larger scale.

Why do people think PR and coverage is so important? It's not at all obvious to me that techcrunch has anything to do with who actually succeeds, they really don't do real coverage of early stage startups- it's just PR Newswire plus trolling authors. Yet so many founders seem to think it's important and even worth hiring a PR firm to get into techcrunch and other similarly thin tech content farm blogs. That techcrunch nofollows all outbound links says enough about how they think about your startup, no matter how cool it may be.

The title is a bit silly, of course science has advanced since the 1500s and you need to focus on one sub-field to make a contribution. But I think the point towards the end is a good one -- that advancements in science will increasingly require effort put to organising teams, and improving institutions to support research.

He mentions patents, which we all know are broken, and financial firms poaching scientists ... and funding, which everyone I know in grad school complains about one way or another (i.e. "we could do better work if it weren't for all the grant applications"). But I doubt that worthwhile change will happen to any of these in a hurry.
So, taking your pristine example of the Masuo, we can just compare how many partners women had to how many men had...

OH WAIT!

You only said 'women had 50 on average. That's a lot. Clearly they have sex drive.'

No one is debating whether they have sex drive. The article stated they had lower RELATIVE drive. You cannot refute this point with only statistics about women. Your facts are meaningless without the counterpoint male statistics from the Masuo.

I apologize for my slight snarkyness, but you are blatantly ignoring key truths about the article in an attempt to argue your point. Especially as that has already been pointed out to you and you continued to ignore it, I am somewhat irked.
